A summer afternoon is the most sleepy time of the day.

A watchtower guard walked down the tower and walked slowly down the wide straight alleyway.

There was no retinue around him, and some of the sergeants and junior officials around the corner tower followed his shadow, but no one felt any difference between normal days.

This tower keeper Mu Fengyu, like all the other corner tower guards, is the highest official around this corner tower, but compared with the rest of the corner tower guards with outstanding achievements, his cultivation and past seem extremely mediocre, and most of the sergeants don't even know why he can become a guard here.

Mu Fengyu's daily life is also extremely monotonous, his residence is not a courtyard away from this corner tower, in the rest time of the day, he will return to the residence to rest for half an hour, and then return to the corner tower.

Mu Fengyu was also accustomed to leaving under the eyes of these sergeants and lower-ranking officials, thinking of the puzzlement of these sergeants and lower-ranking officials, the corners of his mouth often flashed with some self-deprecation.

Of course, he knew why he was the defender of this corner tower.

In the dozens of corner towers in Changling, the corner tower he guarded is located in the most central area of Changling, which seems to be the center, but the front is not close to the periphery, and the back is not close to the palace, it is really one of the least important areas.

So that's where it's the most uneventful.

Nothing means safety and no responsibility, but it also means boredom.

So he even had a dog, like many noble ladies in Changling.

This dog is an ordinary black dog, but quite spiritual, very well-behaved and likable, and an important reason to return to the house at this time of day is to prepare some food and water for the black dog, and tease the black dog for a while.

As usual, when he pushed open the bamboo fence and walked into the courtyard, the grass dog, whose fur was so black that it seemed to be dripping with oil, cheerfully greeted him, circled around him, and followed him into the backyard with joy.

However, the moment he entered the backyard, the black dog's head fell off.

There was no blood spilled, and the black dog even maintained a standing posture, the broken neck seemed to be sealed by a thin film of light, and even countless blood vessels and white bones and flesh could be seen, which looked disgusting.

Mu Fengyu's body instantly became cold, but his face became indifferent instead, he didn't make any moves, just sneered and said, "I don't know who you are, but you should understand that as long as the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here surges violently, at least three corner towers will notice." ”

No one responded to him.

Just the footsteps sounded softly.

When he saw that touch of white in the afterglow of his eyes, Mu Fengyu's indifferent face suddenly lost color, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "The head of the night?"

Ye Ce Leng held a cup of cold tea in his hand, stood in the shadow under the eaves, and looked at him quietly, still not making a sound.

Mu Fengyu's body was instantly soaked with sweat, he forced a laugh, and said, "What do you mean?"

"In the third year of Yuanwu, I found out about you, and I've been wanting to see you since then. Ye Ce Leng no longer looked at him, but began to look down at the green tea soup in his hand, and there was only a piece of green tea in the tea soup, half sinking and half floating: "I didn't expect to wait until today." ”

Mu Fengyu sweated even more, his throat also stiffened a little, and said, "Xiaguan still doesn't understand what the night chief means. ”

Ye Ce said in a cold tone: "If you hadn't faked the news and changed the military order, at least the Nagato army would have rushed to him, and even if he died in battle, he wouldn't have died so easily."

Who would have thought that a small herald would dare to open and forge military orders at that time, killing at least seven powerhouses above the Seven Realms?"

Mu Fengyu's body continued to tremble, and he finally understood that what happened back then was not hidden from everyone.

"The most important thing is that you forged the military order and leaked me. A hint of self-deprecating coldness appeared at the corner of Ye Ce's cold mouth, and her eyelashes continued to tremble: "So much so that by the time I knew, everything was over, and almost everyone thought that I should know, that I was just deliberately leading the army to move, and even Zheng Sleeve and Yuan Wu probably thought that I was on their side in the end because of this." ”

Mu Fengyu, whose face was extremely pale, knew that any shirk was useless, he laughed with a hint of madness, and said in a cold voice: "In this case, you should thank me even more, since everything cannot be changed, since you survived because of one of my mistakes and omissions, and became my Great Qin Division, then you should be wrong, after all, not anyone who wants to climb to your position can climb to your position!"

"Changing and forging military orders is not something you could do alone at that time, there are more important people above. Ye Ce Leng didn't look at his crazy smile, just quietly looked at the tea soup in his hand, and said, "Tell me that person's name." ”

"If you're determined to kill me, what's the difference between me telling and not telling?" Mu Fengyu's eyes narrowed, and he said, "I just don't understand, since you've endured it for so many years, why can't you hold back now." ”

Ye Ce Leng raised his head and glanced at Mu Fengyu.

She didn't speak, but Mu Fengyu suddenly thought of something, and her voice became weird: "You... Are you sure that the man is a descendant..."

Ye Ce Leng didn't answer his question, but said, "There is a big difference between being comfortable and not being comfortable. ”

"I know that you are one of the strongest cultivators in Changling at the moment, but you can't kill me silently without the three corner towers noticing. Mu Fengyu looked at Ye Ce Leng calmly, "And I'm just a small person, I can't understand why you would take such a risk to kill such a small person as me." ”

"You don't have any talent in cultivation, and you've only just passed the Five Realms so far, but you're a very smart person, and since you're smart enough, you can figure it out. Ye Ce sneered, revealing two shallow dimples: "Because I know that you should still have a yellow rhino horn on your body." ”

The yellow rhino horn is not the horn of a rhinoceros, but a yellow elixir that looks like a rhinoceros horn in the deep sea overseas.

The effect of this elixir is only one, and that is to greatly improve the cultivation of cultivators under the Six Realms.

Ye Ce Leng had already passed the Seven Realms, and this elixir was naturally useless to her.

Mu Fengyu's breathing completely stopped, and he couldn't believe that person really had a successor left.

"Since you are determined to let me die, then die together. ”

Mu Fengyu naturally couldn't sit still, he opened his mouth, wanting to say this, and at the same time, the true yuan in his body flowed violently.

However, before he could say a word, the tea soup in the teacup in Ye Ce Leng's hand had dried up.

The turquoise tea soup in her hand disappeared without warning, and even the water in that piece of tea disappeared completely, turning into a piece of dry tea and falling at the bottom of the cup, like a piece of dry tea that had never been brewed.

With the disappearance of the tea soup, Mu Fengyu only felt that the skin around him suddenly became heavy.

His body was extremely stiff, and there was only fear in his crazy eyes.

The sweat that had come out of his body before was pulled by a powerful force, forming a film of water outside his body, and absorbing the water intent in the surrounding heaven and earth vitality, gradually turning into a transparent water mass.

He couldn't breathe, he couldn't move, and even the True Yuan and Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in his body couldn't be revealed at all.

Ye Ce just glanced at him lightly.

He was unable to move.

There were no violent fluctuations in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

The courtyard was so calm that nothing seemed to have happened.

The water mass swelled silently, and a gap appeared in some of the tiny water droplets, and some fine bubbles slowly poured in, pressing into the lungs of the wind and rain with the fine water droplets.

Like a drowning man, his lungs are filled with water, and he is extremely uncomfortable, but his body is given some life-sustaining oxygen, and he cannot die for a while.

His countenance twitched and twisted violently from the unbearable pain.

"I said there's a big difference between dying uncomfortable and dying comfortably. ”

"You have no children or nephews, and you are not afraid of retribution from some people, and I don't understand what you are insisting on. ”

"As long as you name that person, I'll let you die a simple death, like your domestic dog. ”

Ye Ce Leng finished these three sentences, then looked at him and waited.

Mu Fengyu's lips began to squirm, and he couldn't make a sound, but Ye Ce Leng could clearly see what he was saying through the shape of his mouth: "Even if you kill me, someone will see that you killed me." ”

Ye Ce laughed coldly again, laughing so hard that his chest trembled: "I didn't kill you, it was Bai Shanshui who killed you." I'm in Zhoujiamo Garden right now. ”

Mu Fengyu is indeed the same as she evaluated, he is a smart enough person, he thought of a possibility, and the last trace of hope in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only horror.
