Chapter 692: Fear of Fire
Early the next morning, the sky was bright, and because of the fog, it was difficult to see people coming out to set up stalls on the road.
Zhan Ge got up from the quilt and alarmed Yan Wushuang on the side, Yan Wushuang rubbed his eyes and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhan Ge had already put on a black court robe, pushed back Xiao Si beside him, bypassed the obscured screen, sat on the edge of the bed, and dropped a kiss on Yan Wushuang's full forehead.
"You sleep a little longer, today I plan to go to the court and tell the emperor about the tomb robbers." Yan Wushuang, who was in a daze, nodded, and fell into a deep sleep again.
Zhan Ge smiled dotingly, took the official hat from the side, left the bedroom, walked to the door, and said to the maid who was guarding the side: "Let the princess sleep for a while, no one is allowed to disturb her."
"Yes! Rajah! The maid looked down at her toes.
Above the court, Zhan Ge, as a first-class king, wore a black official robe, standing at the head of all the ministers.
The eunuch's firm voice sounded, "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat." ”
Zhan Ge frowned, stood up from the side, and a clear voice fell on everyone's ears.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play" The emperor announced his intentions to the side.
"Quasi-play!"
Zhan Ge presented the recital he had already prepared and presented it.
"Your Majesty, Wechen asked for an investigation into the case of the disappearance of the corpse of the people, and now it lives up to expectations, and finally finds the culprit, according to the investigation of Wechen, the missing bodies of the people are all made by tomb robbers, and now the tomb robbers have been arrested, and the emperor is also asked to show it."
The emperor frowned, and glanced at the fold in his hand in the morning market, the content was the same as what Zhan Ge said, but didn't he say that the disappearance of the corpse was related to the Marquis of Zhenbei? Glancing at the side king who was standing side by side, after pondering for a moment, the emperor coughed low and said, "Since this is the case, then it will be hard to stand side by side with the king."
"It's not hard, it's the duty of the mighty god to do things for the emperor." To do a play, you have to do a full set, and what Zhan Ge said is exactly what the emperor began to wonder what he thought in his heart.
"In this case, those tomb robbers will be dealt with according to the laws of the land and announced to the world, so that the people may dispel their fears."
"Yes!"
Zhan Ge bowed his head and stepped aside, not caring about the emperor's gaze.
"Zhong Aiqing, do you have anything else?" The atmosphere in the court froze for a while, and the emperor continued: "Then retreat from the court!"
"Congratulations to the emperor." A group of ministers knelt down in a daze.
The emperor left, Zhan Ge took the lead in standing up, walked out of the palace, and the Marquis of Zhenbei caught up with Zhan Ge with his legs and feet.
"King side by side, wait for Benhou!" Zhenbei Hou was sweating profusely, and he didn't pay attention to the smile that flashed on the corner of Zhan Ge's mouth, he had just reported to the emperor that the disappearance of the body was done by a tomb robber, and this Zhenbei Hou chased after him, and sure enough, this trick was used correctly.
"Oh? I don't know what the Hou Ye is looking for this king? Zhan Ge stopped.
Zhenbei Hou took a breath, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: "The king of the side by side is really young and promising, and he has found the culprit in just a few days, he really judges the case like a god!"
Zhan Ge twitched the corners of his mouth, he didn't expect this old guy to catch up with him just to sarcastically mock himself, and he was slightly depressed in his heart, but he still said very politely on his face: "Master Hou praised it falsely, these are what this king should do, if there is nothing else, this king will go back first, and the princess is still waiting for this king to have breakfast at home."
"Good! Good! Walk slowly side by side. Zhenbei Hou looked proudly at the back of Zhan Ge leaving.
Back at the palace, Yan Wushuang had already gotten up from the bed, finished washing, sat at the table alone and waited for Zhan Ge to come back for breakfast, took off the heavy official uniform on Zhan Ge and asked, "How is it?"
Zhan Ge sighed and said, "This old guy is really an old traitor and cunning, and he didn't show the slightest bankruptcy, but he also sarcastically beat me and made me angry!"
Yan Wushuang looked at the man's angry movements, pursed his lips and smiled, put his hand on the man's forehead and gently rubbed it: "Although Zhenbei Hou sarcastically beat you, this just proves that he has dispelled the doubts in his heart, once a person is proud, he will show his fox tail, so don't be discouraged, we always have a chance to catch him." Zhan Ge pulled down the hand on his forehead and held it in his hand, "You still think clearly, I'm narrow-minded!" ”
Yan Wushuang chuckled, took his hand and sat down and said, "Have breakfast first, that matter still needs to be considered in the long run."
"Good!"
……
In the secret room of the Hou Mansion in the north of the town.
Lingchen fed the successfully refined elixir into Qi Yan's mouth, and after about a stick of incense, Qi Yan's body convulsed and fell to the ground, and Zhenbei Hou was startled, "What's wrong?" ”
Ignoring Zhenbei Hou's inquiry, Lingchen landed the silver needle on Qi Yan's Baihui acupoint, and soon Qi Yan stopped and slowly stood up from the ground.
"It's done!" Lingchen's faint two words made Zhenbei Hou ecstatic, the mother body was completed, and he would be able to easily control those puppets.
"Sure enough, he deserves to be a poison doctor, amazing!" Zhenbei Hou praised Lingchen.
Zhenbei Hou circled around the expressionless Qi Yan twice and asked, "Can Ben Hou use him to control those puppets now?"
"Naturally!" Lingchen bowed his head and put away the silver needle he had put aside.
"Good! I'll let them deal with Zhan Ge now, but it's just a kid who hasn't grown all his hair, relying on the emperor's attention, he dares to climb on Benhou's body, I see how rampant he is this time. ”
Lingchen was silent on the side, and it seemed that he didn't stop at Zhenbei Hou's words.
The wide streets, which should have been bustling because of the grave robbers, are now empty of no one except a few small stalls.
Suddenly, a group of people with the same pace slowly walked out of the corner, and the stall owner looked at it curiously, and was immediately frightened by the look on the faces of this group of people.
"Hell!" The silent street suddenly became lively, and the people who heard the movement poked their heads out of the door to see the puppet's face clearly, "Bang! "Keep the door shut.
Zhan Ge was having breakfast with Yan Wu, naturally he didn't know what was going on outside, and the scary man guarding the door suddenly ran in, trembling and pointing out the door, he couldn't say a word.
Zhan Ge frowned, Yan Wushuang put his hands on the back of Zhan Ge's hand, shook his head slightly, and asked, "What happened?" Why is it so alarmed? ”
"What the hell...... Ghost...... Lord, princess, help......"
Before the words were finished, the puppet who broke into the palace suddenly stood in the hall of the palace, and Zhan Ge helped Yan Wushuang to stand up and take a few steps back.
"This ...... This is the monster that Zhenbei Hou researched? Yan Wushuang asked aloud, his eyes widened.
The subordinate who came in to report before had already fainted the moment the puppet broke into the hall, lying motionless on the ground.
Zhan Ge clenched his hands and said, "It should be them!" You stay here, I'll try what this puppet can do!" ”
Yan Wushuang was not at ease and wanted to stop it, but he was a step too late, so he had no choice but to hang his hand and could only hide behind the pillar.
Zhan Ge rushed forward, pulled out the imperial sword placed in the hall, and slashed at the puppet, the sharp blade slashed through the puppet's body, and Zhan Ge watched as the wound he had just cut miraculously healed.
"What's going on?" Zhan Ge was suspicious in his heart, and stabbed the puppet again, but the wound still healed quickly.
Yan Wushuang also saw this scene when he stood aside, and was stunned for a moment, not noticing the puppet on his left side that was slowly walking towards him.
"Ahh Subconsciously shouted out, Zhan Ge turned around, and was slashed by the puppet in front of him.
Regardless of the injuries on his body, Zhan Ge rushed up to repel the puppet in front of Yan Wushuang, and the puppet that the two of them were now near the candle flame on the side, and the puppet that they wanted to charge up actually retreated.
Yan Wushuang bit his lip, pointed to the candle on the side and said, "Zhan Ge, they are afraid of fire!" At this time, the guards in the palace heard the movement and rushed to come.
"Lord, princess!" Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, looking at the two humanoid monsters that suddenly appeared in front of them, trembling and not daring to step forward.
Yan Wushuang gritted his teeth and said, "Quick! Go find the torches! A few young ones were obviously frightened and stupefied, Zhan Ge frowned, and shouted, "Go quickly!"
Pulled back to his senses, a group of people took out the torches from the kitchen with their own hands and feet, and Yan Wushuang snatched the torch from the hands of your subordinates closest to him and strode forward.
Sure enough, the puppets who were originally fierce and vicious seemed to feel the light and heat from the torches, and they retreated one after another, and the others were really afraid of fire when they saw this group of puppets, and they followed suit.
Finally drove all the puppets out of the palace, Yan Wushuang lost his strength and sat on the ground, thinking of the injuries on Zhan Ge's body, and ran into the hall with his tired body.
Seeing that the phoenix was inside, Yan Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, wiped a handful of dust that fell on his face, walked over slowly, and asked softly: "Phoenix, Zhan Ge...... He...... How is he? ”
Phoenix said while bandaging the wound on Zhan Ge's back: "Don't worry, it's just some skin trauma, fortunately, those puppets don't have poison on their bodies." Otherwise, even if I were here, I wouldn't be able to save him! ”
As if for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Yan Wu's eyes were red and staring at the white cloth tied to Zhan Ge's back, Zhan Ge turned his head, patted the position next to him and said, "Come here!"
Sucked his sour nose, Yan Wushuang sat down obediently.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, you see, I'm not fine right now." Yan Wushuang nodded, just as Phoenix said, fortunately those puppets did not have poison on their bodies, otherwise she really didn't know what to do.
After comforting Yan Wushuang, Zhan Ge faintly felt the pain coming from his back.
The movement from the corner attracted Yan Wushuang's attention, and when he raised his eyes, Yan Wushuang's face turned pale, and said, "This ...... How can there be another one? Haven't they all been kicked out? ”
Zhan Ge frowned, and finally arrived at the puppet standing in the corner, Phoenix looked at the couple in front of him, and smiled: "Don't worry, he has been controlled by me, and he won't hurt anyone without my permission."
