……

Half an hour later.

Xu Nian took Bai Yuqi and left the palace prison satisfied.

"I'll go out of the palace and come back tomorrow morning, don't tell Wu Mengxue what Wu Yin said just now, let him be busy with his father's funeral first."

"Got it!" Bai Yuqi nodded, "Go early and come back early, I'll wait for you in the palace, otherwise it's too boring." ”

Walking out of this long avenue, the two parted and went in opposite directions.

After Xu Nian left the palace, he found an inn called "Da Fulai" outside the city, ordered a few side dishes, and a pot of hot wine, and drank slowly until the evening.

Just in the prison, Xu Nian put the Longyin Qiankun knife on Wu Yin's neck and asked him three questions.

One: Where did you find those wooden-looking soldiers?

Two: They helped you take the throne, what benefits do they want from you?

Three: How long have you been in contact with them?

However, the answer to the first question is the inn where Xu Nian is now.

Daifuku Inn!

Wu Yin told Xu Nian that the osmanthus wine here is very delicious, and many eunuchs like to drink here after that, and he is no exception, but once, when he saw the second son of the prime minister's family with a particularly imposing guard, he was instantly attracted.

After asking, I found out that this inn was selling guards, and as long as you take a thousand gold, you can immediately sign a deed of sale!

After that, Wu Yin found a few generals with good skills to try this guard, and the end was that within one move, all of them were overturned to the ground.

This gave Wu Yin a bold idea - to seize the throne!

Although it is true that there are a lot of daughters, for a dignified second prince, even if it is a hundred guards, he can buy it!

Xu Nian lowered his head and took a small sip of wine.

He had seen the hundred guards that Wu Yin bought, all of them were ordinary people parasitized by the fog spirit, and the fog spirit had matured, although on the surface he listened to Wu Yin's words, but in fact, the people behind them were the controllers of this group of puppets!

"Ahem, ahem!"

At this time, there was a cough on Xu Nian's left, it was an old man with gold teeth, his hair was thin, his clothes were loose, and he walked with the wind.

"Bang, bang!"

The old man threw a money bag in his hand, Xu Nian glanced at it with his golden pupils, it was all gold!

Look backwards.

Sure enough, the old man was followed by a strong young man, his eyes were hollow, and the aura on his body was unstable, and he had been going up and down between the fifth layer of the Qi Sea Realm and the first layer of the Body Refining Realm.

It seems that this is the characteristic of being parasitized by the fog spirit, Xu Nian thought secretly in his heart.

Soon.

The old man with the golden tooth walked out of the inn with his guard, and walked to the door, and when the crowd around him was scarce, the old man spoke, "I have an illegitimate child in the country, you help me get it back, and then take him to the south of the city to find a house with a small flag at the door, this is the key!" ”

With Xu Nian's cultivation in the Void God Realm, it was easy to know what they were talking about.

The stout young man nodded, took the key, turned and left.

The old man scolded behind him: "Stupid thing who can't speak, Lao Tzu spent a thousand gold to buy you, it's really your ancestral tomb that breathed fire!" ”

Xu Nian put away his thoughts, and a new question appeared.

"The fog spirit ran out of the fog, it should be the action of that mysterious man, he sold the fog spirit in this way, and almost only the rich can afford to buy it, so what is his purpose?"

However, at this time, Xu Nian remembered the second question he asked Wu Yin - they helped you seize the throne, what benefits do they want from you?

Wu Yin told Xu Nian that they didn't ask for benefits, and they also regarded themselves as honored guests, saying that they would give them gifts when the time came.

"Gifts? What gift? ”

Xu Nian was curious.

At that time, the mysterious man said a particularly strange thing to Xu Nian - have you finished writing your story?

"My story?"

Xu Nian was slightly stunned.

"If he refers to my novels, then it means that he may have crossed over as well!"

Since you can cross in, it is naturally possible for others.

It's no wonder that this fog existed thirty years ago, but Xu Nian was not born thirty years ago, and it was impossible to write a novel.

Or......

It has nothing to do with me writing this novel, writing a novel is just a door, but what is behind it, you can only know if you push the door open.

Now I've crossed over, created the door on my behalf, pushed it open, and walked in, but everything behind the door has nothing to do with me!

Xu Nian slowly figured it out.

Want...... These are actually two timelines, one outside the door and one behind the door, I wrote the novel to create the door, pushed the door open, and I jumped from the first timeline to the second timeline.

Thirty years ago, the fog appeared, and it was something that happened in the second timeline.

In this way, the person in the fog has a good chance of discovering that I am the one who created the door.

From beginning to end, I was always in the open, and yet he ...... But in the shadows!

A layer of fine sweat broke out on Xu Nian's forehead, and after calling Xiao Er to pay, he left the inn.

As night fell, Xu Nian walked aimlessly, and when he crossed the lively neighborhood, Xu Nian suddenly felt that someone was following him behind him.

Turn, accelerate, can't shake off!

Xu Nian exerted force under his feet, and turned sharply at a street corner, and suddenly a figure appeared, standing where Xu Nian disappeared, looking around.

"Gao Xurou?"

Xu Nian came out of the dark place, a little surprised, he had been thinking about the mysterious person just now, and forgot to sense the breath for a while.

"Master! I heard that Sister Wu's father died, so I ...... I just want to comfort Sister Wu! ”

Gao Yurou's expression was a little aggrieved.

"Oh, good." Xu Nian nodded, and then asked, "Is your Huichong Dynasty also invaded by the fog spirit?" ”

"Master, look at this!"

Gao Yurou pulled out a folded piece of rice paper from her sleeve, on which was a picture of the rivers and mountains of the Huichong Dynasty.

Taking the imperial capital of Huichong as a starting point, Gao Yurou marked more than 20 red dots on it.

"Master, these locations are infested with fog spirits, they are all sold in the form of goods, I have warned my imperial brother and father, and asked them to strictly prohibit these puppets from entering the palace in any way!"

"The efficiency is good, Xiaorou!"

Xu Nian patted her head and said.

After the master and apprentice met, they walked together in the direction of the south of the city, and Xu Nian decided to take a look, maybe there would be something new.

But when the two of them hadn't walked a few steps, Xu Nian felt that someone was following behind them.

"My Nima, where's the nesting doll?"

Xu Nian immediately used his divine sense to probe back, but this time, Xu Nian found that he couldn't detect this person's breath, and could only hear the sound of rustling behind him, getting closer and closer......
