Although Guan Shutao is not smart, he is definitely not stupid, and immediately hid the scroll back in his sleeve, grabbed the arm of the dark night, and then bowed his head to He Yingwei, and said to himself: "Gongzi He, I have caused you trouble, I will personally explain the truth of the matter to the eldest brother." Don't worry, the big brother will be able to fight the real murderer and seek justice for Huang Ying and the 20,000 elite soldiers who died, you go back and rest first, and I will come to see you later. ”

didn't wait for He Ying to reply, so he couldn't help but say that he left with the dark night. The dark night was pulled away by her, and she didn't say much, but she wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this little girl who had no city?

The two of them returned to Chaoyang Palace in the hazy moonlight, Guan Shutao was thinking all the way, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, until the food gradually became fragrant, and then he remembered that he hadn't been able to eat for two days, and he could just delay some more time on the grounds of eating.

After making up his mind, Guan Shutao began to call Ye Er to prepare a meal for himself, but after several calls in succession, Ye Er failed to appear, so he simply called another little maid and asked her to prepare food and drink for herself.

Styx sat on the wooden bench next to the round table with her chin in her hands, watching her chirp like a magpie, and thought: With Xiao Shutao's cheerful temperament, I'm afraid nothing can really break her, right?

After the maids and attendants prepared the wine and food, closed the door and left, Guan Shutao finally stopped, and just sat down opposite the dark night, and suddenly said in shock: "Ah! I forgot to ask you what you like to eat, so I took it upon myself to prepare all the food I liked, and if my eldest brother didn't like it, I would let them prepare it again. ”

Styx rarely eats on weekdays, and occasionally the diet is mainly light, looking at the dazzling array of meat on the table, he really doesn't like it, but he still takes off his mask very freely, and smiles at her: "Little Shutao likes to eat, big brother eats." ”

Guan Shutao was like a child who wanted to eat candy, and his little face was so happy that his little face bloomed, and the person moved from his position opposite him to the position next to him, and obediently sandwiched a bowl full of meat for him, urging him to eat it while it was hot.

Styx Yechen frowned, picked up the chopsticks but couldn't do it anyway, simply put the chopsticks aside, and pushed the bowl in front of Guan Shutao, Zhengse said: "The time has passed, you are a big girl like a flower, it is not appropriate for me to stay here for a long time, it is important to talk about business first." ”

"Hey! It's really boring, I thought you were extraordinary, and I wouldn't care about those clichéd rules in the eyes of mortals, but I didn't expect you to be as boring as Brother Haoyue, and you know how to talk about business all day long, and it's not funny at all. Shouldn't we talk about all the big things when we are full? Guan Shutao sandwiched a piece of beef and shook it in front of his eyes, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, praising the taste as he ate, and asked the eldest brother to taste it quickly.

Her hands don't stop, her mouth is not empty, and she just doesn't want to talk about business. Nightshade stared at her quietly, seeing her as if she was on pins and needles, and quickly moved to the next position.

Hiding something in his heart, he didn't have the heart to eat happily, Guan Shutao lowered his eyes, and casually sent the vegetables to his mouth, and he ate the elegance and dignity of everyone's ladies for the first time.

The dark night is really very patient, Guan Shutao did not speak, he did not urge, but stared at her with interest to eat, saw that the corners of her mouth were stained with some oil, and handed over the Jinpa prepared by the maids.

Guan Shutao knew that he had soiled his face, but he didn't accept Jinpa, he only spread the picture scroll in his sleeve in front of his eldest brother, and then told his words that he had been brewing for a long time: "This person is the culprit who assassinated Huang Ying and Cangqing Peak, and his methods are despicable and inhumane. ”

Because he has been straightforward since he was a child, and he has never lied, Guan Shutao can only omit part of the information about the fan, and directly choose the most important information to say. But as soon as the words came out, she noticed that the eldest brother didn't seem interested in listening, and his eyes didn't move to the portrait, but stared at her without squinting and smiling.

The wine shimmered in the candlelight, and the light was reflected in his obsidian eyes like a shining star in the night sky. Guan Shutao playfully stretched out his hand to block the light, but saw that there were no stars in his eyes, but there was more himself, so he raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said stupidly: "Big brother, there are stars in your eyes, and me." ”

Styx Yechen was stunned for a moment, then reached out and rubbed it on the top of her head, and said with a smile: "It's not too early, you should rest early." ”

After that, he got up and wanted to leave, but Guan Shutao suddenly grabbed his hand, looked up at him with a pair of innocent big eyes, and said weakly: "I... I'm not telling the truth, is the big brother angry? ”

"What do you say?" Nightshade grimaced.

Guan Shutao wanted to say something to keep him, but after thinking about it, he couldn't find a proper reason to keep his eldest brother unless he told the truth. But somehow, she just wanted to shield Zhifan, even if the eldest brother would be angry because of it, even if Zhifan really conspired with the prince of the Heavenly Realm to assassinate Cangqingfeng, she also wanted to fight for a chance for Zhifan to reform himself.

Letting go of his hand, Guan Shutao lowered his eyes and replied to him in an inaudible voice: "I, I don't know."

Styx Yechen was really amused by her weak little appearance, rubbed her head again, and said, "Okay, don't be depressed, in fact, I already knew the information that He Ying revealed to you, and it is more detailed than you know, so you don't have to hide it." ”

"You know?" Guan Shutao raised his eyes to look at him, wondering in his heart, is the eldest brother also playing his own words?

"Hmm." Styx Yechen nodded, "After collecting He Ying's Three Souls and Seven Spirits yesterday, I used the 'Soul Technique' to read his memory, and in his memory, I saw Huang Ying tied to a cross stake. ”

At this point, he deliberately paused, and when he saw Xiaoshu Tao's mouth open in amazement, he raised her chin with his fingers, let her lips close and said, "Don't be surprised first, I still have something to say." ”

Guan Shutao nodded obediently, and said again: "Huang Ying will lose her mind because the living creatures in her body have emptied her brain and flesh and blood, leaving only her skeleton and skin. Living creatures dominate her body to kill people and set fires, and she walks freely, so in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Huang Ying summoned monsters, but in fact, it was the living creatures in her body that drove her to summon her kind.

This is an ancient evil art of creating a 'human' from the mother's body, the practitioner first throws the eggs through the seven holes of the living person's face, and then casts the spell to make the eggs hatch quickly in the mother's body, and the hatched larvae will feed on the mother's flesh and blood, and gradually grow into large insects, which are then catalyzed by the caster, and finally become crazy and bloodthirsty monsters.

The mother can be both male and female, but the practitioner generally chooses a young woman as the mother to ensure that nothing goes wrong. As long as the eggs are placed in the uterine cavity, they will hatch quickly in the mother's womb like a fetus and grow rapidly, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Fortunately, the big worm in Huang Ying's body had not yet grown to the point where it could eat its soul, which gave He Ying the opportunity to wake her up. ”

At this point, Styx Yechen suddenly felt a tightness in his wrist, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Xiao Shutao who grabbed his wrist hard, and there were tears in Ying Yingqiushui's eyes, she was very self-blaming and afraid.

Styx Yechen sat back beside her and persuaded softly: "Xiao Shutao, don't worry, since the eldest brother already knows the identity of the other party, he will definitely not let him go." ”

"Big brother, I'm sorry! It's all my fault, it's me who believed the wrong person, I sold Huang Ying and Cangqingfeng, I'm sorry for Huang Ying, I'm sorry for He Ying, I'm sorry for Master and Brother Haoyue. Guan Shutao said as he spoke, but he threw himself into his arms with a "wow", and he couldn't say a complete sentence anymore.

"It's okay, I don't blame you for this, I really don't blame you." Nightshade patted her on the back and whispered comfort.

But in fact, there are still many things that have not been said clearly, for example, in addition to the seven holes on the face and the woman's lower body, the place where the insect eggs are put in, and judging from Huang Ying's clothes at the time, she must belong to the latter.

Such filthy things, Nightshade does not want the simple-minded little scholar to know. It's just that the 'Gong Yu Remnant' who knows this evil art was ordered to punish the nine clans by the lord of Sanssouci for doing many evils as early as 90,000 years ago. It stands to reason that the magic should have been lost a long time ago, so why would it reappear in the world after 90,000 years? And no matter how strange the monster is, it is nothing more than an ugly appearance that feeds on flesh and blood, and it is definitely not impossible to kill, so why kill more and more?

Since he couldn't see the monsters themselves, he had no way of knowing what kind of insect eggs they were turned into, but he expected that Huang Ying was just the beginning, and the caster would definitely look for the next mother, and then recast the old technique to attack Cangqing Peak again.

Today, he and Dugu Hao and his party inspected under Cangqing Peak, and found that Guan Xinrong's Fire Sun Mirror was not completely ineffective, at least the surrounding area where the Fire Sun Mirror was placed had not been disturbed by monsters. If you want to keep Cangqing Peak, you have to skillfully use the Fire Mirror to set up the 'Earth Fire Array', but how to use it, Styx Yechen has not thought about it for the time being, so he has put this matter on hold for the time being.

Guan Shutao cried for a while, and finally choked up and stopped, thinking that the eldest brother had read He Ying's memory, and he must have known about the fan, so he hurriedly left his arms and asked him what he would do with the fan.

The night will come with her, purely curious about who the person Xiao Shutao is protecting, and at this time he found out that the person Xiao Shutao is protecting is actually holding a fan, so he said: "Don't worry, whether she makes a mistake or not, I won't hurt her, because, for me, she is more important than life!" ”

This is far beyond the scope of Guan Shutao's understanding, after all, Zhifan once said that she and Styx Yechen are enemies, Guan Shutao can't figure it out, why does the eldest brother regard the enemy as more important than his life, it can't be to appease himself, right?
