After saying goodbye to the emperor, Zheng Xiu returned to the study late at night, listening to the laughter of several women not far away, Zheng Xiu silently took down a stack of files from the bookshelf - "Luzhen Wutong Divine Case".

Next to the dossier, there was also a cracked statue of the god Wutong.

Now in the Disaster Prevention Bureau, all the important cases have been screened out by Jiang Gaoyi, sorted out and packed and sent to the Chiwang Mansion, and they are neatly placed in chronological order, all on the shelves.

Rustle rustle......

From time to time, there was a clicking sound outside the window, and the north wind howled outside.

Fengbei came halfway, and when he saw that Zheng Zheng was picking up the lamp, he didn't disturb, lit a fire in the corner, left a gap in the window for ventilation, and tiptoed the door away.

The candlelight on the table flickered, and soon all that remained in the room was the sound of Zheng Xiu's paper rubbing through the file.

White Autumn Moon.

used to be on the second wind, take the [ferryman] door, born strange, and do things for the candle.

Zheng Xiu wrote Bai Qiuyue's name in the dossier.

In the annotation, Bai Qiuyue's life and death were uncertain, and a question mark was marked.

"Bai Qiuyue."

Zheng Xiu recalled the scene when Bai Qiuyue's boat was destroyed and fell into the black water in the [Ferryman] Bund.

"He's still alive?"

Zheng Xiu frowned and pondered.

He was curious why the Great Emperor had to find Bai Qiuyue.

What Bai Qiuyue has on her body, it is worthy of Wei Yangzun "must see the living".

If you think about it, it is nothing more than Bai Qiuyue's [Ferryman] thaumaturgy.

The emperor is actually coveting the "ferryman"?

Indeed, the [Ferryman] Door is very rare, let alone a natural alien. If Bai Qiuyue didn't do things for the candle, even Zheng Xiu wanted to be under his command and use it for himself.

It's just that now, Zheng Xiu himself has the ability to swim in the Bund, and he can open the rift freely, and now Bai Qiuyue's ability is not worth mentioning in front of him.

Wei Yangzun didn't know that Zheng Xiu could walk freely in the Bund, if he knew......

"Lao Wei's eyeliner is very wide."

Zheng Xiu stretched out his fingers and rubbed his eyebrows, and said sneeringly.

This northern barren land is vast and sparsely populated, and it belongs to the land of the Northern Barbarians, and the Emperor can actually know that Bai Qiuyue haunts the north, which shows that Lao Wei must have eyeliner in the Northern Barbarians.

Zheng Xiu never dared to underestimate Wei Yangzun, and it was like this from the very beginning, so that no matter how much Wei Yangzun spoiled the Zheng family, Zheng Xiu behaved cautiously in front of Wei Yangzun, walking on thin ice.

Zheng Xiu had a feeling that the old Wei was like a lion awakened from a deep sleep, gradually showing his fangs. He is witnessing with his own eyes the ambition and ambition that Lao Wei is showing little by little.

The candle flame on the table flickered, just like the uneasiness in Zheng Xiu's heart, swaying. Lao Wei's "trust" did not make Zheng Xiu grateful, and a wave of uneasiness welled up in his heart, he knew very well that this matter, once it was not done well, it would make the dispute between the two countries completely break out and make Daqian fall back into war.

Continuing to flip through the file, Zheng Xiu's mind drifted out and thought of another thing.

If Bai Qiuyue was doing things for Candle, he was still alive now, why did he appear in the northern wasteland far away from the land of Daqian?

"Great Heavenly Witch ......?"

A ridiculous but reasonable idea suddenly exploded in Zheng Xiu's heart, the person who could make Wei Yangzun pay so much attention, could this great heavenly witch also be the embodiment of "candle"?

As the saying goes, the unknown brings fear.

The more he came into contact with the candle, the more he couldn't see through it, and now Zheng Xiu felt like a candle when he saw everyone.

"Good, back to this."

Marriage, Great Heavenly Witch, Hundred Ghost March.

All kinds of clues are entangled, and they all point to the same place. Zheng Xiu didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world, he would rather believe that there was an invisible hand in the dark that was manipulating all this, and Zheng Xiu had never believed in any "fate".

It's just that Zheng Xiu feels ironic that in this way, Wei Chen's "fortune telling" has unknowingly come true. He may have a catastrophe next, and this catastrophe is related to the "north", and if you want to avoid it, you only need to avoid the "north".

But Zheng Xiu couldn't avoid it.

Zheng Xiu slowly put down the file, but his heart calmed down. It is impossible for everything to be smooth in life, and it is normal to have disasters. The most frightening thing is the unknown, once this "catastrophe" floats on the surface and is placed in front of him, it makes Zheng Xiu feel that it is not so terrible.

The moon is in the middle of the sky.

The living room was brightly lit.

Erniang was roasting in the hall, Yue Linglong sat quietly opposite Erniang, her body curled up slightly, holding a bowl of ginger soup in her hand, and drinking the spicy soup into her abdomen, while dispelling the chill in Yue Linglong's body, she also took away the hesitation in Yue Linglong's heart.

"We're still talking."

Zheng Xiu walked in with a smile, and the sound of speaking without warning made Yue Linglong sit up suddenly in fright, looking at the man who was about to become her husband uneasily.

"Sit, why don't you sit."

Late at night, Zheng Xiu sat in her place, Erniang pondered Zheng Xiu's expression, it didn't look like she had come to bully other little girls, her heart was settled, her eyes rolled, Erniang pretended to be sleepy, and yawned: "Ah, Erniang is not tired and sleeps first." ”

Erniang left with heavy steps, walked around the corridor, and sneaked back again, hiding behind the screen and listening secretly.

Yue Linglong sat down again, her slender five fingers pinching the bowl hard, and her knuckles looked strangely pale from excessive force.

She lowered her head and pursed her lips.

Zheng Xiu walked towards Yue Linglong, stood in front of Yue Linglong, and looked down on her condescendingly.

"Raise your head."

Zheng Xiu's voice was calm, but with an undoubted strength.

Yue Linglong slowly raised her head, and her delicate face like a doll appeared in front of Zheng Xiu.

This was the first time Zheng Xiu had seriously looked at Yue Linglong's face, and he couldn't help but be amazed for a while. Her skin is fairer than snow, and her facial features are finely crafted, making it difficult to find fault. The thin lips were slightly pale, and people couldn't help but feel curtain. The skin on her face was crystal clear under the light, and she could faintly see the veins of blood vessels.

"Yue Linglong?"

Zheng Xiu stretched out his hand and pinched Yue Linglong's chin.

In an instant, Yue Linglong hadn't answered.

A line of small gnats appeared in front of Zheng Xiu.

[You have found the post station, you can reach the "post station, corpse sewer, Bingwu, moon Linglong". 】

[Station: Yue Linglong, resist your entry. 】

Zheng Xiu's fingers pinching Yue Linglong's chin suddenly exerted force.

The severe pain hit, Yue Linglong's pupils shrank, but she bit her lower lip stubbornly, dripping out a trace of red blood, and remained motionless.

After a while, Zheng Xiu relieved a little bit of strength and sighed lightly: "Are you an alien?" ”

Yue Linglong's black and white eyes fluctuated slightly, although she was surprised how Zheng Xiu found out, but she didn't show too strong emotions. Yue Linglong was silent for a moment, and her mouth opened lightly, and a voice that seemed to have the magic power of soothing people's hearts came out of her mouth.

"Yue Linglong is the 'reincarnation of the Moon Bamo Buddha', which is what the Red King said...... Inhuman. ”

"Where's your birthmark?"

Zheng Xiu returned to his place.

Yue Linglong was silent.

Zheng Xiu smiled: "I don't resent the presence of strangers approaching me, but, you need to have something that can make this king's heart move." Like, obedient or something. ”

Yue Linglong closed her eyes, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly. She turned around slowly, and in front of the Red King, she took off her clothes one by one.

On Yue Linglong's smooth back, there was a strange imprint. At first glance, it looks like a trace of stitching, and the "stitched" opening is crookedly composed of some words, if Zheng Xiu didn't know the law of the alien birthmark, he might not be able to recognize it at a glance.

In addition, the [post station] has been marked, and gradually the stitched imprint was made up into the corresponding text by Zheng Xiunao.

It's "Bingwu".

Zheng Xiu added a stroke to the "Door Path Map" that he promoted.

The cold wind outside the house poured into the hall, and the naked Yue Linglong shivered from the cold, but she didn't have the slightest intention of being shy or putting on clothes. Even if she knew very well that Zheng Xiu's move had the meaning of "humiliation".

Yue Linglong remained motionless, showing off her Inhuman imprint.

Erniang, who was hiding behind the screen, heard the sound of undressing in the hall, and was stunned suddenly.

Zheng Xiu said indifferently: "Put it on." ”

Yue Linglong silently picked up the clothes on the ground, turned her back to Zheng Xiu, and put them back one by one.

"Stay here tonight, Erniang will arrange a room for you."

Zheng Xiu stood up and looked like he was leaving.

Yue Linglong wrapped her body tightly with the big coat again, she nodded calmly, and accepted it obediently: "Yes, Red King." ”

"I heard that according to your customs, if you want to get married, you need to go to your holy mountain, Mount Bagmo, and bathe in the blessings of the Great Heavenly Witch?"

Yue Linglong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded vigorously: "It's ...... 'Bagnamo Mountain', Red King." Yue Linglong carefully corrected Zheng Xiu's statement.

Zheng Xiu turned his head, and his sharp gaze swept towards Yue Linglong. Yue Linglong looked at Zheng Xiu without dodging this time, and her expression was as if she was saying: Bagnamo Mountain is Bagnamo Mountain, and it can't be changed.

"This king has heard that Mount Bagnamo is your holy mountain, which means 'life and life.'"

Yue Linglong lowered her head again: "Yes, Red King." ”

"I'll consider going there."

Yue Linglong clenched her fists and was silent.

After taking a few steps, Zheng Xiu turned his back to Yue Linglong: "According to the customs of Daqian, what should you call this king now?" ”

Yue Linglong gritted her teeth.

A moment later.

Yue Linglong knelt down slowly, her face was sad, as if she had accepted her fate, and said two words in a stiff tone.

"Husband...... Monarch. ”

[You've been given permission to enter the station.] 】

[You can enter the inn at any time. 】

……

【Station】The moon is exquisite

[affinity] disgust

【Doorway】Corpse Sewer (Bingwu)

【Luck】Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other

[Physique] can be passed

……

In the prison of the heart.

Zheng Xiu looked at the "new station" that had just appeared.

The mini "Moon Linglong Station", with a look called "stubbornness" fixed on the white face, seemed to give people a kind of indignation and helplessness of "lamenting the injustice of God", which made Zheng Xiu laugh dumbly.

Zheng Xiu looked at the word "disgust" on [Affinity] and once again confirmed his thoughts. Yue Linglong did not come to Daqian to marry willingly, but had another purpose. This marriage, as Zheng Xiu speculated, was full of the coldness and ruthlessness of the politics of the two countries.

The [physique] of the post station is not large, and the [physique] refers to the size of the "humanoid ghost", and the size of the "humanoid ghost" reflects the strength of the "post master".

The larger the scale of the station, the larger the range that Zheng Xiu can anchor when he uses [iQue] to teleport his avatar over a long distance. And Yue Linglong, the "only way to pass people", knows at a glance that it is very narrow, and when you are in a fugue, you can almost only anchor it within the reach of Yue Linglong, and it is not very practical.

"It's kind of interesting."

Zheng Xiu's consciousness floated out of his heart, and before he knew it, several of the doorways in the "Lower Nine Streams" were almost collected for him.

A kind of "philately" like pleasure arises spontaneously.

[Executioner], [Knife Man], [Corpse Sewer], [Orchid], [Time Demon].

Among them, [Credit Knife Man] Sun Erming, after Zheng Xiu pulled into the Disaster Prevention Bureau, he didn't go out of his way to talk to him, and asked him to promise to enter or something for himself. First, because Zheng Xiu has no shortage of post stations to use now, and secondly, because the [Credit Knife Man], a way to calculate fate and the future, is mysterious, Zheng Xiu subconsciously doesn't want him to touch himself too much, for fear of exposing something.

Early the next morning.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the early morning.

A military general in soft armor rode a horse with dark red hair, followed by more than a hundred soldiers, and stopped in front of the Red King's Mansion.

When Zheng Xiu heard the news and went out, he saw that the military general in soft armor was Huo Yu, and he understood something for a while, and said with a wry smile: "So urgent? ”

"The marriage between the two countries is a matter of etiquette and face of the two countries, and we must not neglect it without further ado."

Huo Yu turned over and dismounted, pulling and looking at the fit, but the soft armor that made him uncomfortable all over, and his face was dissatisfied.

He has been retired for many years, but this time he is going to put on his armor again, tsk, taking advantage of the emperor's absence, Huo Yu wrote all the unhappiness in his heart on his face.

Huo Yu approached the Red King and lowered his voice: "The soldiers are fast. ”

Zheng Xiu inadvertently glanced at the mansion and nodded: "General Huo,"

A "General Huo" made Huo Mi understand that Zheng Xiu had already understood the urgency, and Huo Mi nodded with satisfaction.

Zheng Xiu continued: "I'm curious, this trip is so anxious, ...... the emperor in the end."

"Shh

Huo Yu interrupted Zheng Xiu's words and said with a smile: "Lord, what the Holy Lord told you is what you can know, and what the Holy Lord didn't tell the prince, Huo may not know." ”

Zheng Xiu frowned and didn't say anything.

Huo Yu seemed to see through Zheng Xiu's thoughts, and laughed: "King Scarlet doesn't have to worry, the soldiers accompanying him on this trip to the north are all Huo's henchmen, no matter what happens, they will definitely be able to protect King Scarlet." Besides, the emperor also said that the Red King can bring a few cronies, just in case. ”

Zheng Xiu was still hesitant to use the incarnation to go out, but so many eyes stared at him, completely breaking Zheng Xiu's thoughts. But now Zheng Xiu has many means, and he is not afraid of anything.

Nodding and re-entering the house, Zheng Xiu whistled a few times, arranged it, and told Erniang that he was going out for a trip and didn't have to worry.

Erniang didn't expect things to come in such a hurry, she just said she would leave, and she couldn't even catch up with the reunion banquet.

After a while, several people walked out of the Red King's Mansion.

Huo Yu, who was bored and guarding at the door, couldn't help but straighten his waist, his pupils shrank, revealing an intriguing smile.

By Zheng Xiu's side, Feng Bei was dressed in black, his long hair was tied up in a ponytail, a pair of black gloves were menacing, and his black eyes were not angry and arrogant, and he was heroic.

Fengbei's reputation is very loud in a sense. Huo Yu saw that Zheng Xiu had brought Fengbei with him this time, and grinned, and at the same time, he was surprised, and at the same time, he secretly reasoned about it.

It seems that this kid has a hellish mind and has guessed something.

The monk looked cramped and uneasy, touched his bald head, and kept looking at the young Huo Wei's reluctant appearance: "Little monk Huahua, please take care of me!" ”

Huo Yu looked at the easy-going monk, he didn't look like a master, he didn't have any grandeur on his body, and he didn't know why the Red King brought this bald head for a while.

A figure fell from the wall.

Qing 13 was carrying a big package, and the cigarette stick was pinned to his waist: "Whew~ It's finally packed." ”

Qing Thirteen, the former knife catcher, chased his life.

Huo Yu nodded secretly.

"Sorry, sorry! Lao Tzu is late! The girls at home are ...... tight."

A tall figure trotted all the way from the corner of the street, and it was Pei Gaoya, who had not been seen for a long time. Running a few steps, a woman cried and caught up, hugged Pei Gaoya tightly on the street, kissed goodbye, and staged a sweet and greasy "ten miles to send" scene in front of a group of soldiers, the soldiers looked away vigorously, and snickered under the helmet.

"Meow!"

A meow interrupted the distractions in everyone's hearts, and a black figure was as fast as lightning, only to see an orange cat wearing a mini cute red cloud dress, carrying a heavy backpack on its back, and the fragrance of fried fish cakes came from it.

"Click!"

The orange cat touched its back, avoided the sight of a human being, and found a piece of fried fish cake in the air, put it in its mouth and bit it, crisp and sound.

"Save some, it's gone when you're done!"

Zheng Xiu warned.

The orange cat "seemed" to understand the old man's words, put the half-eaten fried fish cake on his belly, wiped it, and hid it again.

"This ......"

If the appearance of Fengbei is taken for granted, the next monks, Qing Thirteen, Pei Gaoya, and finally a cat. The painting style that was originally quite serious was destroyed in an instant.

The daylight gradually became dazzling, and Yue Linglong was wrapped in a big cloud, hiding in the shadows, as if she was hiding from the winter sun.

"Husband."

Yue Linglong was not afraid of the strange gazes of others, bowed to Zheng Xiuyingying, bent her ring finger to the palm of her hand, pressed her right hand against her chest, and stayed on one side with her left hand, making a peculiar ceremonial posture.

"Remarkable."

After smacking his tongue for a moment, Huo Yu exclaimed, this has trained the princess of the northern kingdom well, and she is worthy of the ...... The Red King.

The group rode out of the city, leaving a messy pile of horseshoe prints in the snow.

was about to leave the city, Zheng Xiu glanced back, as if he wanted to imprint this city in his memory.

Ask for a commuter pass!
