He Lingchuan ran out and plucked the eyeball spider from the treetops—

This is what he put here a few days ago.

The fire was about to spread to the mountains, and the toad hated the heat and dryness, so he burrowed into the ground and ran away.

……

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui returned to the foot of the mountain and saw hundreds of soldiers surrounding the low hills, as if they were afraid of escaping.

They are already the army of Pengguo.

One of the squads had a dozen soldiers, and the leader of the army led one of them to the shadows, away from the large army.

The man was yellow-skinned and ragged, not a soldier.

"Get out!" The military leader pointed into the distance, "It's none of your business here!" ”

Seeing that he turned around to leave, the man was in a hurry, and grabbed the arm of the military leader:

"Master Jun, I haven't given me fifteen taels of gold yet! Offer a reward of fifteen taels of gold for finding someone! ”

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, who were hidden in the shadows, glanced at each other and understood.

This is the whistleblower? Looks like a beggar.

No one else found any trace of Concubine Mei, how did he find out?

The military leader's eyes were gloomy, and he suddenly kicked him in the leg, and after he fell to the ground, he made up a few more kicks, while sneering: "I gave it to you a long time ago, and you dare to ask for it again?" Greedy splashers, lazy people who have money to spend their lives! ”

The man was in pain, curled up in a ball and screamed, and his voice was sharper than that of an owl.

The other soldiers watched from the sidelines, their eyes cold and sneering.

The military leader finally stopped, and asked him again: "Did you take the money?" Did you just take the money, huh? ”

"Take it!" This person has been kicked to the point that his face is covered with blood, two teeth in his mouth have fallen out, and he is crying on the ground, "The villain took fifteen taels of gold, the villain is greedy, and the villain doesn't dare to ask for it anymore!" ”

"You know each other." The military leader spat at him, turned around and led the team away.

The man struggled on the ground a few times before slowly getting up and limping out.

As he looked back, he cursed the military leader frantically, his eyes shining with resentment.

……

In summer, the vegetation is dense, and in just over an hour, the dungeon burns bald, and green smoke curls everywhere.

The Pengguo army did not leave until dawn, and went up the mountain twice on the way to inspect the scene of the fire.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui returned to Jizhen and brought the captives into the guest room for interrogation. The old man who was guarding the door didn't know where he had gone.

The dark shadow's cloak had long since fallen off, revealing a soft face.

Because of her, the desolate abandoned house has added a lot of color.

"Concubine Mei, we meet again."

This black shadow is Concubine Mei, her hands are tied, her hair is unkempt, and her body is still covered with ash, looking like a beautiful woman in distress.

She looked left and right, and stretched her hands forward: "It's uncomfortable, can you help me relieve it?" I'm a weak woman, where else can I escape? ”

Her white wrists had been strangled red.

"There's an enchantment, she can't get out." He Lingchuan nodded, and the ghost ape on Dong Rui's shoulder immediately jumped over and untied the rope in her hand.

Concubine Mei pressed her wrist and found a chair to sit down:

"How did you know I was coming to White Hill?"

Her tone seemed to be very familiar with the two of them.

"We're probably going with the new king, Eun Guang." Dong Rui pointed in the direction of Gushan, "This is your masterpiece, you probably have to take another look." ”

He Lingchuan expected that Concubine Mei would come to appreciate his proud work.

But he didn't expect that he would see such a terrifying scene:

She dug out the heart of the king and ate it.

Looking at such a fresh beauty, swallowing the rotten heart one bite at a time like a dessert is still very visually impactful.

What kind of hatred does this have to be?

Concubine Mei smiled softly at him, as if it wasn't her who ate people's hearts before:

"What are you looking for me to do?"

"Find out who is behind this series of events." He Lingchuan exhaled, "Youenguang is in a hurry to kill you, it seems that he is in a group with you." ”

"You know now, is it useful?"

He Lingchuan shook his head: "You Enguang has succeeded to the throne as king, and the entire Peng Kingdom is his." Even if you expose him now, it won't change Emperor Mu's mind. ”

"Why?" Concubine Mei tilted her head slightly, as if she was puzzled.

The beauty was puzzled, it was still cute, and Dong Rui couldn't help but look at it twice. But when he thought about what the beauty had just done, he felt a chill in his heart.

Renmei is ruthless, he has to recite it silently a few more times, Renmei is ruthless.

"Emperor Mu needs to support a regime close to Mu here, You Enguang is very smart, he voted before the war, and he was sincere." He Lingchuan said lightly, "This person understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into account, and on the premise that there is no other better choice, he will naturally be selected." In comparison, What is the death of a few Shadow Tooth Guards? ”

This is a small loss, and Emperor Mu will not pay attention to it at all.

"You were originally from Youenguang's gang, and he was worried that your crime of stealing the lantern and blaming the Shadow Tooth Guard would be exposed, which would displease Mu Guo, so he wanted to kill you." He Lingchuan said to her, "He took advantage of you, but he was not smart enough, or too cautious, otherwise he would understand that this was a superfluous move." ”

"It doesn't matter." Concubine Mei sighed softly, "I originally only wanted to use him. ”

She didn't mind being taken advantage of at all.

People have to be valuable in order to use each other, and they are not happy with each other.

"You've got me." A ray of morning light passed through the hole in the window and stroked her face, showing a little innocence and ignorance, "What do you want to do to me?" ”

A weak and helpless beauty sits crookedly in a dilapidated house in a deserted town and asks what you want to do to her......

I didn't want to do anything, but when I was asked like this, I also thought a little bit about it.

Dong Ruigang told himself that this was a femme fatale, and swallowed his saliva when he heard this.

He Lingchuan looked at Concubine Mei and said, "King Hun said that you plotted to kill the imperial family, what is the deep hatred between you?" ”

This woman knows how to make use of her own strengths.

"He killed my whole family and took away my father's inheritance." Concubine Mei was light-hearted, as if it was someone else's whole family who died, "I'll retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, kill his whole family, and destroy his foundation, right?" ”

Her voice is still so gentle, like honey quenched with poison.

Dong Rui immediately said: "Fair, very fair." ”

He Lingchuan asked: "Does the second prince's madness have anything to do with you?" ”

Concubine Mei's eyebrows stretched: "Hey, you just called Mu Guo?" ”

Shouldn't the people of Mu call themselves "our country"?

This woman is very thoughtful. "I asked, you answered. How much do you know about bright lanterns? ”

Concubine Mei's eyes drooped slightly, and she wrapped a strand of broken hair on her forehead behind her ear: "What?" ”

"The second prince went crazy and lost his mind, and the newly appointed Imperial Physician Chen played the bright lantern to save the second prince, but the bright lantern has matured in the near future. This series of coincidences added together is an inevitability, an inevitability created by you. He Lingchuan looked at her and said, "You are very familiar with the use of bright lanterns." ”

Concubine Mei said lightly: "My understanding of the bright lantern is only limited to that ancient book, which is now in the hands of Imperial Physician Chen. Why don't you just look for him and get it? ”
