After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 385

Following Yao Shouning's agreement, it was like a glimmer of hope that shattered the haze in Lu Zhi's heart.

At this moment, all the uncertainties and grievances in his heart disappeared, and he didn't even realize that Yao Shouning seemed to control his emotions, emotions, sorrows and joys.

"Shou Ning-"

He turned around in surprise, his eyes were amazingly bright.

Yao Shouning put his hands behind his back and clenched his palms tightly to cover up his intense heartbeat at this moment.

She tried her best to control herself to calm down, but she seemed to be infected by the prince's emotions, and felt a flame rising in her heart.

Lu Zhi took a step forward, but she quickly backed away and shouted:
"Don't come here."

As soon as he finished shouting, Shizi stopped eagerly.

Yao Shouning's cheeks were slightly hot, she turned her face away, not daring to look into Shizi's eyes:
"There are a lot of things going on right now, evil spirits appear in the world, my mother is injured, and chaos is about to occur in the gods..."

She talked nonsense for a long time, but Lu Zhi didn't interrupt her. Her chaotic mood gradually calmed down, she took a deep breath, and turned to look at Shi Zi's face again.

His gaze was on her all the time, with focused eyes and a cute expression. Every time she said a word, he nodded desperately in agreement: "Mmm!"

Yao Shouning wanted to laugh.

Based on what she knew about Lu Zhi, the prince at this time might be as nervous as she was, just forcibly controlling his tranquility.

"If you have anything to say, wait until these matters are dealt with, okay?" She thought of this, her heart softened, and she asked him softly.

"Okay." Lu Zhi nodded.

The two looked at each other with shyness in their eyes.

When Lu Zhi left Yao's house, he was still a little dizzy.

Many things happened today: Yao Wanning's identity confirmed, the evil spirit appeared in the world, Aunt Liu was seriously injured, Yao Shouning went back to the past to join Yingtian Bookstore, he dispelled the demon voodoo, the sky demon was almost in chaos—and he vaguely confirmed Yao Shouning mind.

She looks delicate and naive, but in fact she has a firm heart. If she has no intentions for her, she will definitely refuse without leaving any room for it.

But she did not refuse her request, which made Lu Zhi see the dawn of hope, and realized that the relationship between him and Yao Shouning was not just wishful thinking as he originally thought.

Just thinking of this made Lu Zhi extremely happy.

……

After sending off his son, Yao Shouning began to regret her irrationality in handling this matter. She valued his son and her relationship with him, which made her restrained to a certain extent and lost her composure.

But soon, Yao Shouning didn't have time to think about these things.

Many things happened in God that day.

Shocking changes came in the palace, Emperor Shenqi abdicated, and the original fourth prince Zhu Jingcun was enthroned as emperor.

There are two factions in the city and palace of Shendu, and they are secretly doing their own thing, causing a lot of turmoil.

In addition, the worst scenario that Yao Shouning had foreseen really happened.

The flood at the beginning of the year brought evil disasters, and the people who were bitten by the blood mosquito Gu and survived did not fully receive the blessing of heaven.

The hidden boundary gate under the city of God opened, activating the hidden monsters in these people's bodies, causing many people to show strange appearances that night, lose their minds, and suddenly violently hurt people.

Everything happened quite suddenly, and in the dead of night, the people who were attacked had no time to escape.

When the first strange roar and scream sounded, it was like a signal, and then successive roars and painful cries resounded through the capital of God.

The monster change caught many people by surprise, especially when the monster change happened to people around them, many people had no time to react.

Many ordinary people were killed by the demon alienated pillow man in their sleep, and lost their lives in a daze.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for the people in Shendu City.

The cavalry of the General's Mansion shuttled through the capital, Liu Bingzhou tossed and turned, unable to sleep, worrying about the lives of innocent people;

While arresting the strange crowd, Lu Zhi was distracted by the conversation he had with Yao Shouning during the day, both apprehensive and expectant.

Yao Shouning fell into a nightmare, and all kinds of things that happened in reality entered into her sea of ​​consciousness in the form of dreams.

In the imperial city, Emperor Shenqi also heard the screams in the city.

The well-informed Zhenmagic Division knew what happened in the city immediately. Feng Zhen informed the old emperor who voluntarily abdicated to let the virtuous look about most of the people in the city showing strange appearances.

In just one day, most of Shen Qidi's hair had turned pale, his face had an abnormal bluish-white color, and there were purple bruises on his cheeks and eye sockets.

He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, mixed with coughing.

Every time he coughed, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and his breathing was bloody.

——During the day, the eldest princess rushed over when he ordered Zhu Jingcun to be killed, learned the cause and effect, thought he was ridiculous, and beat him up in front of everyone.

Emperor Shen Qi later thought of the scene where he couldn't bear the pain and begged the eldest princess for mercy, his eyes became more gloomy.

He was beaten badly at the time, and finally recognized Zhu Jingcun's legitimacy as the emperor, and Zhu Hengrui stopped and spared his life, otherwise this woman might have killed the king!

"... There are many people who have become monsters, regardless of whether they are kings, fairies or civilians—"

'cough. '

Feng Zhen was talking about the situation in Shendu, when Emperor Shenqi couldn't bear it, and coughed.

Under this cough, the injuries in his body were affected, his body bent into a shrimp, and then he gasped in pain.

"Well--"

"Be careful, Your Majesty." The loyal servant hurried forward to serve him and said:
"The imperial doctor said that your sternum was broken, but fortunately the broken bone did not penetrate into the chest and lungs, but you still need to be careful and rest."

"Carefully resting? Huh————" Emperor Shenqi was furious, and let out the sound of a bellows leaking. Under this excitement, blood foamed in his nostrils, so frightened that he didn't dare to move again, and said darkly :

"I hate that day when I was kind and soft-hearted, I didn't send that little beast to go on the road with Gu, leaving today's hidden danger."

"Zhu Hengrui, that bitch, dared to hit me several times. She must have done it on purpose to seize my power." He cursed through gritted teeth:
"Gu Huanzhi deserves to die, trying to coerce Zhu Jingcun to seize power—and—"

He thought of Chen Taiwei.

At that time, the Taoist priest clearly saw that he was in trouble, but deliberately stood by and watched. His heart became angry, and his hair turned gray again.

"Shendu City is in such a mess right now, it's wonderful! It's better for the evil spirits to be more serious, and there should be more dead people." He said in a vicious voice:

"I'd like to see how Gu Huanzhi and Zhu Hengrui clean up this mess..."

When Emperor Shenqi was furious, at the other end of the palace, a shadow silently covered a palace.

The extremely beautiful concubine Tu Shi in the palace was prostrate on the ground, a huge shadow shrouded her body, upon closer inspection, the shadow was a huge fox shadow, with five long tails like five fingers spread out, enveloping the palace.

The fox king's head hung down, close to Tu's ear, whispering something softly.

Concubine Tu listened carefully, nodded, and kept Fox King's confession in her heart.

……

The sky gradually brightened, and the screams one after another in the middle of the night seemed to gradually quiet down as the sun rose.

When Yao Shouning opened his eyes, he saw Mong Kui resting against the head of the bed.

"Mallow?"

She yelled, her voice hoarse.

"Miss." Dong Kui woke up immediately when she heard the noise.

She raised the curtain with one hand, turned her head, the two looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" Mallow asked.

"You didn't sleep well last night." Yao Shouning was very sure.

Dong Kui moved her body and squeezed over, her head touching the side of the bed, getting closer to Yao Shouning.

The long bed curtains hung down, forming a semi-transparent closed environment on the bed, which made her uneasy heart stabilize a little.

"Miss, didn't you sleep well?" Mong Kui probably hadn't slept all night, her eyes were swollen like fish bubbles, and she couldn't hide her exhaustion.

"I had a dream last night." Yao Shouning shook his head and responded.

"You still had a dream, I dare not sleep all night." Mong Kui was a little envious, and said:
"Last night was so scary, I fell asleep at first, and then woke up with screams."

Thinking of what happened last night, she still had lingering fears and said:

"I put on my clothes and went out, and I saw Aunt Wang, Uncle Zheng and others in the kitchen were all awake..."

At first, the screams were a little far away from Yao's house, and not long after, the screams came from even Mr. Zhao's house next door.

Not long after that, there was a knock on the door for help.

At that time, Yao Hui was worried about his wife's injury, so he didn't sleep well. The moment the movement happened, he got up to preside over the overall situation.

Because the situation outside was unclear, there were both seriously injured wives and children at home, Yao Hui did not leave recklessly, and only asked Zheng Shi to take a few people out to investigate the situation.

Not long after, Zheng Shi and others came back in a hurry, saying that something happened to Mr. Zhao's house next door.

Monsters suddenly appeared at Master Zhao's house at night, violently attacking people.

At that time, the night was quiet, everyone did not react, the monster succeeded, many people were scratched and bitten by the monster, which woke everyone up.

Later, after the whole house woke up, everyone took up weapons to resist, and finally beat the evil spirit to death.

"After Yaoxie's death, the Zhao family realized that the monster was wearing clothes, and someone recognized that clothes belonged to Huang Yan, a young servant who waited on Young Master Zhao's side." Dong Kui mentioned what happened last night, with a frightened expression:

"Everyone didn't believe it at first, but they sent people to look for it later, and there was no trace of Huang Yan."

Some people speculated that Huang Yan was killed by a monster, and then the monster possessed him, intending to kill people; others speculated that this Huang Yan might be a fake, a monster incarnate and hiding in the dark, trying to take the opportunity to eat people.

When everyone is guessing, the mutation regenerates.

The servant of the Zhao family who was bitten by the demonized Huang Yan suddenly became restless, and then his face distorted in front of everyone's eyes, showing a strange appearance, and his strength increased greatly, and several people couldn't stop him.

Afterwards, these people showed signs of bloodthirsty and ferocity, and then lost their minds and attacked humans. This was the scene where the Zhao family came to knock on the door for help.

When Zheng Shi led the people back, he was still in shock.

With the screams from Shendu City, what happened to the Zhao family is definitely not an exception.

……

When Mallow said these words, she couldn't hide the fear on her face.

From the restrained words of Zheng Shi and others, combined with the screams, calls for help, and the smell of blood floating in the air, she could already imagine what happened in the Zhao family at that time.

As for Yao Shouning, following her words, the tragic scene of the Zhao family that she 'saw' in the dream last night came to her mind.

After accepting the inheritance, the stronger her power is, the clearer her perception of many things will be.

The tragic situation was far worse than Yao Shouning's initial prediction.

That day, the blood mosquito gu appeared overwhelmingly in the city of God, and the people who were bitten were not only ordinary people.

The parasitism and infection of the monster was extremely rapid. In just a few days, many people in Shendu City were injured or died at the hands of half-demonized people. The uninjured people hid in their homes and dared not go out.

After the demons appeared in the world, the Taoist temples inside and outside the city of the gods became life-saving straws in everyone's minds, and the supply of joss sticks and paper money was in short supply.

People burn paper candles and pray for God's blessing.

The gate of Yao's house was locked tightly, and the family members dared not go out easily.

Fortunately, during the previous flood, the Liu family stockpiled a lot of food, so that the family would not be in a desperate situation, but this depressive atmosphere still affected everyone.

After a few days of tidying up by everyone, the main house was barely able to live in again. The Yao family gathered together, their faces a little dull.

Yao Hui seems to have aged ten years in the past few days, with many white hairs appearing on his temples.

After Mrs. Liu was seriously injured, he took on the responsibility of the housekeeper. When Mrs. Liu was there before, the family affairs were taken care of in an orderly manner. He only thought that the family affairs were simple and orderly. What a grind.

The situation in Shenducheng was grim, and the trifles of household chores, coupled with the fact that his wife was still seriously injured, and seeing his eldest daughter's swollen belly, made his brows frowned even tighter.

'Dingling bell——' There was a crisp ringing sound from a distance outside, and then a Taoist priest was singing:

"Three cleansing methods, evil spirits stay away."

'jingle clang. '

As the bell rang, the smell of smoke wafted into the room.

The people in the room were silent and pursed their lips subconsciously.

The entire capital fell into a strange silence. It was very quiet at night, and occasionally there were horrible roars, which seemed to be the roars of wild animals.

Whenever they heard such a sound, all the survivors closed their doors tightly and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of these demonized 'people' and causing a crisis for themselves or their family members.

And things didn't get any better during the day.

A large number of people turned into demons and demons, causing people to panic. The anxious people had no choice but to seek help from Taoism, burning incense and worshiping gods all day long, making the city shrouded in smoke, as if covering the sun with clouds, and the light in broad daylight was gloomy, which made people even more frightened. Shocked.

"This is not the way to go."

Yao Hui spoke first, and when he spoke, Su Wenfang, father and son sitting beside him all looked at Liu Bingzhou.

Although the Yao family had been prepared for a long time, and Liu Bingzhou was in charge during the flood, so that no one in the family was infected by the voodoo, and the whole family was saved from the voodoo incident, and nothing happened.

When people under the control of the demon voodoo violently hurt others, everyone reacted promptly and locked the door tightly, and the house is safe so far.

But with the passage of time, the situation in Shenducheng deteriorated, which affected the Yao family, and everyone was still uneasy and afraid.

"The family has its own well, and there is some rice grain left, but I am worried that if this continues for a long time, it will still be in crisis."

Given the current situation in Shendu, it is very difficult to transport food from Jiangnan. Even if there is a daring caravan who dares to come, at this time, I am afraid that they will sit on the ground and raise prices.

At that time, the evil disasters will not be over, and human disasters will be added. Under such circumstances, the hungry people are very likely to cause major troubles.

Under the overturned nest, there are eggs, and when the time comes, the gods will be in chaos, and the Yao family will still find it hard to live in peace.

"Father-in-law—" Yao Hui said a few words, seeing that Liu Bingzhou didn't respond, he couldn't help being a little anxious, so he raised his voice and shouted.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry." At this moment, Su Wenfang, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Liu Bingzhou first, and then comforted him in a gentle voice.

"I..." Yao Hui was about to speak when Su Wenfang said again:
"How is the situation with the eldest princess?"

"Oh." Yao Hui sighed and said:

"The eldest princess is also doing her best, but her main strength is still in the Jin land, and the capital of the gods is not her fief. In addition, the palace is not peaceful now, which draws part of her attention."

Even though Lu Wuji, Zhou Rongying and others have tried their best to search the capital city of God and arrest the evil spirits, their manpower is limited after all.

Having said that, he hesitated to speak:

"Not only are the two emperors fighting in the palace, but the court is also divided into two parties." Everyone only cared about fighting for power, regardless of the life and death of the people in the city. Thinking of this, Yao Hui said unhappily:
"In the current situation, maybe if there is chaos, that... is the happiest!"

Although he didn't specify the person he was referring to, everyone knew that he was referring to Emperor Shenqi.

Emperor Shenqi probably hopes that the situation will be chaotic, the life and death of the people, and the turmoil in the gods have nothing to do with him as the Supreme Emperor. On the contrary, the more chaotic the situation is, the better it will be for him to regain power.

"Now liars are in power. Many people, no matter they are real Taoist priests or fake Taoist priests, wear Taoist robes to fish in troubled waters. Many people rush to the doctor for family illnesses. They are easy to be fooled, and eventually they are deceived and bankrupt—"

Yao Hui used to be the commander of the military and horse department, and he knew these situations best.

"The current situation seems difficult, but it is not difficult to solve it." Su Wenfang thought for a while and said gently:

"One is that some people in the city were affected by the demon, lost their minds, and violently hurt others."

"Secondly, the struggle for power has led to the division of the government into two parties. Many things are changed day and night.

He was restricted by the Chu family all his life and could not become an official. Although he was in a low position, he was very talented and knowledgeable.

As soon as he opened his mouth at this time, everyone's eyes fell on Su Wenfang.

Yao Shouning also cast a curious look at his uncle.

Since he entered the capital, he has acted in a low-key manner and did not speak much. Now he speaks at a critical moment and attracts attention as soon as he speaks.

Su Qingchun stood behind his father, he was not used to being stared at like this, when he saw everyone turned his head to look at him, he shyly squeezed behind his father and lowered his head.

Su Miaozhen looked calm, but there was a look of pride for her father in her eyes.

"You're right." Liu Bingzhou nodded and looked at Su Wenfang:

"These are the two main causes of the current predicament. What can you do to solve it?"

Although he was asking a question, Yao Shouning vaguely felt that his grandfather's calm expression seemed to hide a certainty. He seemed to think that Su Wenfang could solve this matter.

"Father, I don't think these two questions are difficult." As soon as Su Wenfang's words fell, Liu Bingzhou responded softly, picked up the tea on the table, put the lid on the cup, and nodded for him to continue talking.

"Nowadays, the two parties in the DPRK and China seem to be newly established, but in fact they have been established for a long time. They just put the hidden contradictions on the surface."

Emperor Shenqi acted incompetently, was mean and ungrateful, and was not a wise king, and everyone knew this well.

"But..." Su Wenfang paused, then shook his head:

"This is not the time for power changes."

A vision appeared in the gods. When the great demon appeared in the world, Emperor Shenqi had no responsibility and temporarily passed on the throne. This action broke the hearts of the Daqing Dynasty.

Gu Huanzhi was very disappointed with him, and he firmly supported the new emperor because of Shen Qidi's absurd behavior.

"However, the Supreme Emperor has been in power for many years, and he has accumulated a lot of prestige inside and outside the court. The Department of Criminal Prison and the Department of Magic Suppression all obey his orders." In contrast, although some people in the court stood behind Gu Huanzhi and supported the new king, these Civil servants accounted for the majority of the people, and it would be fine in a peaceful and prosperous age. At this critical moment, if Gu Huan's party did not have the support of the eldest princess, it would be extremely difficult to compete with Emperor Shenqi.

"It's best for the two parties to temporarily put aside their conflicts and cooperate with each other." Su Wenfang said:

"When there are evil spirits present in the world, we should first focus on the overall situation, get rid of the evil spirits, and then settle the internal affairs." The family is his own, and he does not hide it, expressing his thoughts:
"The succession of the throne is a foregone conclusion, but the young emperor is still too young to handle major state affairs. In my opinion, we can ask the Supreme Emperor to still exercise the power of the emperor and take over the administration temporarily."

In this way, although Emperor Shenqi lost the title of emperor, he still took over the power of the monarch. "Both sides took a step back. After the Supreme Emperor came to power, he ordered the prison department and the magic suppression department to arrest evil spirits, clear the gods, and calm the hearts of the people. "

In the internal affairs, Gu Huanzhi and other civil servants acted as assistants to rescue the victims and stabilize the people's livelihood.

Only through cooperation between the two sides can this difficulty be overcome.

He spoke dryly, and everyone listened silently, digesting the news he said in their hearts.

Liu Bingzhou took a sip of tea lightly, when the lid of the cup collided with the body of the cup, there was a slight sound.

' Duh. ' He put the teacup on the table and asked:
"Your method is very good, but I have two questions."

"Please tell me." Su Wenfang seemed to be facing the students of the strict teacher at this time, stood up quickly, clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, and bowed slightly.

"You have also experienced the whole story of the demon disaster, and you should be aware of the horror of this matter." Liu Bingzhou's expression was stern, and his tone was slightly accentuated:
"Why do you think that as long as the DPRK and China abandon power struggles, they will be able to survive this calamity?"

Su Miaozhen heard her grandfather's expression and stern tone, she couldn't help worrying for her father, she raised her head hastily, her lips moved, as if she wanted to speak, but she glanced at her father, and forcibly suppressed the anxiety in her heart.

"Second, we all understand the method you mentioned, but the current situation is severe. If you want to break the situation, do you know where to start?"

What Su Wenfang said, the eldest princess and others also knew it well.

I'm afraid that Gu Huanzhi, Emperor Shenqi and others at this time are also regretting the ending of riding a tiger. It is a matter of power, and everyone will not give in. They are all afraid that if they give in, they will end forever. If they want to persuade these people to cooperate temporarily, Returning to the previous situation is not an easy task.

Facing Liu Bingzhou's inquiry, the juniors dared not speak out.

This long silence created pressure, which made Su Wenfang show a hint of nervousness:
"I have indeed experienced the chaos of evil disasters. Now it seems that the situation is serious, but to tell you the truth, I think it is just a conspiracy of evil spirits."

"How do you say that?" Yao Hui couldn't help asking when he heard this.

Now he is idle at home, ignoring business.But after all, he had served as the Army Commander of Beicheng for many years, and he was very worried about the chaos in the city. Hearing what Su Wenfang said at this time, he felt a little impatient.

Su Wenfang glanced at him and said:

"The evil spirits seem to be menacing, but after all, they are blocked from the seal and have not invaded the world on a large scale."

Whether it is the appearance of the Fox King or the previous appearance of the Border Gate, in Su Wenfang's view, there is a feeling of thunder and little rain.

"The demon gu made people panic, but—" when he said this, he hesitated.

"Just say what's in your heart." Seeing his expression, Liu Bingzhou smiled slightly, and said something loudly, with an encouraging face.

Yao Shouning looked at her grandfather, and now, she naturally knew that her grandfather's determination at the beginning was because he had snooped out the opportunity in advance, and she brought back those news to Yingtian Bookstore more than 30 years ago.

To this day, my grandfather is not clear about the future situation, but he is still calm.

He didn't seem to be affected by the chaos, and he didn't panic because of the crisis. This kind of calm came from his years of self-cultivation and practice, and it was something Yao Shouning could learn from.

"Yes." Su Wenfang was encouraged by him, and immediately responded, and continued:
"I think these monsters are just disturbing the hearts of my group, and they can't hurt the overall situation."

"How do you say that?" Yao Hui was thoughtful when he heard this.

He is not a fool, but just a fan of the authorities. At this time, Su Wenfang gave some advice, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of Su Miaozhen.

"Actually, I don't know the exact situation of the outside world since the demon gu incident happened, and my brother-in-law stayed at home temporarily because of his injury." Su Wenfang glanced at Yao Hui with some regret, and saw his eyes looking at him daughter, she knew that her brother-in-law had already figured out the clue.

He sighed:
"But judging from the situation of the neighbors, I deduce that after the attack of this monster, people immediately lose their minds, their face and body are alienated, their strength is infinite, they are addicted to raw blood, their temperament is violent, and their protrusions hurt people."

The situation he was talking about was exactly what happened to Mr. Zhao and other families nearby after the human monster had an attack. Everyone nodded when they heard this.

"The first attack of the monster was in the middle of the night. When the night was quiet, many people were still asleep and had no time to react." He added:
"Most of the dead and injured should be people close to the creator of the demon gu."

Yao Hui nodded:

"good."

After the incident, out of his past job habits, he immediately took Zheng Shi and others to collect information from the left and right neighbors.

Taking Mr. Zhao's family as an example, the young servant next to Mr. Zhao's yellow geese had a demon attack and hurt people in the middle of the night. The first one to be injured was the wife who was on duty at night in Mr. Zhao's courtyard.

The reason why many people were injured after that was because the woman screamed after being attacked, and when they saw the evil spirits, everyone stepped forward to help, and then they were attacked by the maddened yellow geese.

At that time, people didn't know how powerful the demon gu was, they just thought it was a demon disaster at home.

Later, the injured were infected and appeared demonized, which then caused panic in the whole city.

——Everyone knows what happened after that.

The frightened people of Shenducheng pinned their hopes on the Taoist temples, and invited Taoist priests from all major temples to perform methods to drive away evil spirits. Only now, the smoke of incense candles fills Shenducheng, and the ringing of the bells of Taoist priests can be heard no matter day or night. scene.

"Judging from the situation of the neighbors, I don't think these people who have been infected by the evil spirit are not terrible."

When Su Wenfang said this, a look of pity appeared on his face:

"They went crazy and hurt people at the beginning, and it is very likely that they lost control for a short time. I think that with the power of the blood mosquito Gu, it can affect humans for a while at most, and it is absolutely impossible to make humans lose their minds for a long time."

He paused, subconsciously turned to look at his daughter.

Su Miaozhen lowered her head and stretched out her hand to cover the veil on her face. Ever since the fox king attached to her left, she had shown a demon appearance, so she kept covering her face with a fine veil, never daring to show her true face to others.

At this time, even through a veil, everyone could see her long protruding nose and split lips, and there was a look of unbearable expression in her eyes.

Seemingly sensing her father's gentle gaze, Su Miaozhen plucked up the courage to raise her head, the eyes of the father and daughter met, Su Miaozhen felt an impulse in her heart, nodded and said:
"Father was right."

She suppressed the panic in her heart and bravely looked everyone in the eye:

"Now that I think about it, when I'm possessed by a demon, it's like a big dream. I can't control my thoughts and actions, but—" Everyone was listening to her, and only her voice could be heard in the room. Not very courageous, when she was about to retire, she saw Su Wenfang's encouraging eyes, as if she was very satisfied with her performance.

Inspired by this gaze, she said loudly again:

"But after Yaoxie left, I gradually became sober again. I have the same thoughts as my father. I don't think the power of the blood mosquito Gu can make people completely crazy. It is very likely that this kind of madness is only temporary."

Su Miaozhen said:

"I feel—" She was possessed by the Fox King for a period of time, and she once sacrificed a soul. The relationship with the Fox King is deeply involved. When she coexists with it, she can vaguely sense the thoughts in the Fox King's heart:

"I feel that this situation is very similar to Fox King's bluff." After finishing speaking, she added:
"It seems to deliberately threaten humans with this, and then achieve its purpose."

After saying this, she looked at Liu Bingzhou with some anxiety, obviously afraid that her speech would attract her grandfather's reprimand.

But to her surprise, Liu Bingzhou showed approval.

"Miaozhen spoke very well." Liu Bingzhou praised.

Su Miaozhen's raised heart suddenly fell back to the original place following Liu Bingzhou's words. She was praised by her elders, a little surprised, a little happy, and a little uneasy, and turned to look at Yao Shouning.

But Yao Shouning was also looking at her, his eyes were bright, and when she turned his head around, he showed her a big smile, as if he was also very happy for her, and he didn't feel jealous because she was praised by Liu Bingzhou.

In her memory of being possessed by evil spirits, Yao Wanning, who had been rude to her several times, looked at her tenderly and smiled at her.

Su Miaozhen's eyes were slightly wet.

What my father said that day was indeed true. I was deceived by the fox demon at the beginning, and felt that the Yao family was playing tricks everywhere, and even 'created' a false illusion about the previous life to deceive myself, making me hate my relatives.

Now it seems that the family does not hate her.

The aunt is sincere to her, and Yao Shouning is also cute and straightforward; the cousin is gentle and kind, and it is the first time she turns to look at Yao Ruoyun—the cousin seems to be afraid that she will misunderstand, so he tries his best to put on a serious look, but tries to show kindness to her .

This kind of Yao Ruoyun is not the obscene and obscene appearance in her 'memory' at all.

She wanted to cry a little, and touched the veil that covered her face by hooking the hair on the ear side.

Su Miaozhen took off one side of the veil to reveal her own face. She pretended not to care at first, but the moment the veil fell, the family did not show any expressions of fear, disgust, or pity. Everyone looked calm, as if this was just normal. thing.

She suddenly realized that the estrangement in the past was all due to her own inner defenses, maybe it was just like what Yao Shouning said when he comforted her: the change in her face was the fault of the evil spirits, not her own.

Until this time, Su Miaozhen finally truly untied the knot in her heart.

"Miaozhen once lived with the Fox King, what she said has a great possibility." Liu Bingzhou said:
"What's more, Miaozhen was once bewitched by evil spirits, but now she is sober, so I think there is a great possibility that those people in the city who are temporarily controlled by the blood mosquito gu will gradually become sober after their initial madness."

Perhaps suppressing this demonic nature requires a certain opportunity, but at least it is better than no hope at all.

"In this way, what Dao Yuan said is very important." Liu Bingzhou looked at Su Wenfang:
"The monster clan must have a plan, so we need to work together to overcome this difficulty." He paused, "But as Dao Yuan said, the Supreme Emperor, Gu Xiang, the eldest princess and others may be aware of these principles."

However, it is a matter of power struggle, the two sides have become incompatible, and it is not easy to break the deadlock.

"Since Daoyuan made a suggestion, you must have a solution?" Liu Bingzhou asked while twirling his beard with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Su Wenfang showed hesitation on his face, hesitated for a while, and nodded:

"Presumably both father and brother-in-law should know that Chu Shaolian and I, the eldest son of Mr. Chu, who is now the prison secretary, were classmates and friends..."

Although the friendship between the two was broken due to personal matters, and they have not been in touch for many years, and Su Wenfang was also suppressed by the Chu family for a long time, "However, this matter is related to the life and death of the country and human beings. Based on what I knew about him back then, he also cared about the country, The people, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, he will definitely agree..."

"I will come forward at that time..." Su Wenfang's gentle voice sounded, but Yao Shouning's thoughts were in a trance - the faces of relatives in the room gradually blurred, and when the thick fog hit, her thoughts sank into an illusion.

The scene she saw with Lu Zhi at the Bailingjiang altar that day was presented again before her eyes, but this time she could 'see' much more clearly than the last time.

I saw Chu Shaolian was wearing a purple robe, the hat that tied his hair was unaffected, his hair hanging down from his temples, he looked crazy, shouting towards the outside of the city:
"You group of traitors and thieves, dare to force the palace, you will die!"

As the wind whizzed down, he cursed passionately for a while, then turned back and shouted:

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will take a step ahead and let the world see that the Wen family is disobedient and has a wrong position! He is a traitor and a traitor!"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Shaolian climbed onto the high wall.

The strong wind howled above the palace wall, his robe fluttered, his sleeves bulged in the wind, and his eyes swept around.

With the awakening of her blood, Yao Shouning has become very clear about the difference between the predicted illusion and reality. At this moment, she clearly understands that what she 'sees' is something that is very likely to happen in the future.

But when Chu Shaolian turned his eyes, he seemed to be looking in her direction, paused, then showed a contemptuous smile, and then jumped——

"Wow--"

Under the city tower, there was a loud exclamation, and then a child shouted heart-piercingly:
"Banban Chu—"

'boom! '

The heavy object fell to the ground, and blood flowed everywhere.

The crowd let out a frightened gasp, and then scattered in all directions.

When the blood splattered, Yao Shouning was also shocked, and then he woke up.

Although it was the second time to 'see' Chu Shaolian jumping over the wall to die, it was different from the first prediction. This time the prediction was clearer and many details were added.

For Yao Shouning, it was tantamount to witnessing someone die tragically in front of his own eyes.

Her face turned pale, her body was tilted, she almost couldn't sit still, and fell off the stool to the ground.

Fortunately, Yao Wanning, who was sitting beside her, reached out to hug her in time, and pulled her into his arms.

Su Wenfang was still talking, Yao Wanning was inconvenient to interrupt the discussion of the elders, and looked at her sister with worried eyes.

She could feel the fear in Yao Shouning's heart at this moment. Beads of sweat were dripping from the tip of the girl's nose and forehead, and her body was trembling non-stop.

"Are you okay?" Yao Wanning asked in a low voice.

Yao Shouning moved his lips, wanting to speak, but saw that his uncle was discussing important matters with his grandfather, and at this moment, her father happened to be mentioned:

"...At this time, it is time to employ people. Once the old emperor and the new emperor join forces temporarily, brother-in-law is very likely to be employed again to maintain order in the north of the city."

Su Wenfang still endured without saying a word: With Yao Hui's ability, he is naturally not only the commander of the northern army and horses.

The reason why he hasn't been promoted for so many years is actually because he was implicated by himself and suppressed by the Chu family.

Once he and Chu Shaolian reconcile as before, maybe Yao Hui's official position can go further.

"It's okay." Yao Shouning endured the uneasiness in his heart and replied in a low voice.

When she was talking, she realized that someone was looking at her, looked up and looked along the line of sight, and saw Liu Bingzhou was also looking at her, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

If he didn't know that his grandfather was no longer clear about the future situation, Yao Shouning might have thought that he already knew what happened next just by looking at his expression and performance.

She bit her lip and said silently to her grandfather, "It's something."

Liu Bingzhou nodded imperceptibly, and Yao Shouning's uneasy heart was instantly confirmed.

After the eyes of the grandfather and grandson met, Liu Bingzhou asked:
"You said it well, but Dogen, have you thought it through?"

He meant something.

But Su Wenfang obviously didn't understand the meaning behind his father-in-law's words. He has experienced setbacks in his official career these years, but his nature is gentle and romantic, and he is also kind and upright.

"Think about it. All these years, I have only cared about my self-esteem and anger, and I don't want to contact Shao Lian anymore, so I have caused my brother-in-law to suffer. I feel really sorry. I just take this opportunity to hope that I can settle down with him and reconcile as before. ..."

"In that case, let's split up."

Liu Bingzhou nodded and made up his mind:

"In the face of a national crisis, everyone should abandon personal grievances, fight against the outside world first, and then calm the inside. After fighting the evil spirits and dealing with the evil spirits, we should worry about domestic issues."

"Dao Yuan, as a lobbyist, went to Chu's house, and I went to find the eldest princess, and asked her to come forward and persuade Gu Xiang to back down temporarily."

Everyone discussed again, and then Liu Bingzhou let everyone disperse.

Yao Hui was concerned about his wife's safety, so after finishing his business, he turned and went into the house to take care of his wife.

Yao Wanning and Su Miaozhen were also worried about Liu's situation, so they followed in together.

Su Wenfang was anxious to contact Chu Shaolian to solve the current predicament, and led his son away.

And Yao Shouning had something to say to his grandfather, so he just sat there and didn't move.

When everyone left and scattered, and when Yao Ruoyun realized it, only he, Liu Bingzhou, and Yao Shouning were left in the room.

"Shou Ning walks in the garden with me." Liu Bingzhou stood up and called out gently.

"Grandfather——" No matter how stupid Yao Ruojun was at this time, he could tell that his grandfather might have something to tell his sister.

"Ruoyun, you come with me too." Liu Bingzhou beckoned to him, "Nowadays the world is about to fall into chaos, there are some things that you know and learn early, and it won't do you any harm."

"Yes!" Yao Ruoyun was overjoyed, and quickly responded.

Yao Shouning followed beside his elder brother, thinking of the scene in the previous illusion, he felt a little awkward.

"What happened just now?" Liu Bingzhou asked the grandparent and grandson when they left the house, taking advantage of no one around.

Yao Shouning recalled Chu Shaolian's eyes before he died, and frowned slightly uncomfortably. Instead of answering Liu Bingzhou's question first, he asked:

"Grandfather, do you really think there is nothing wrong with my uncle's proposal?"

She always felt that Su Wenfang's suggestion might change the situation of the Daqing Dynasty. In the future, Chu Shaolian's words before his death revealed a lot of information.

Including but not limited to: a rebellion occurred in the Daqing Dynasty, which threatened the rule of the royal family Zhu; Chu Shaolian, who had been staying at home and had never been an official, entered the court as an official, became the little emperor's confidant, and finally died in order to defend Daqing .

And the surname of the traitor mentioned in his words was 'Wen', for some reason, the figure of Wen Jingsui appeared in Yao Shouning's mind for the first time...

She once 'saw' Wen Jing with a jade crown on his head, wearing a purple robe, with a dignified look on his face.

"Have."

Liu Bingzhou nodded.

His answer made Yao Ruoyun stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Grandfather..." When he was in the house earlier, he clearly supported Su Wenfang's suggestion and believed that Su Wenfang's method was the best way to solve the current predicament, but now in front of the siblings, he also said that Su Wenfang's method was useful flaw.

"Ruoyun, don't worry." Liu Bingzhou comforted his grandson with a smile, and continued:
"Your uncle has a gentle temperament. Although his official career has not been smooth throughout his life, it is true that he is worried about the country and the people of the world."

"It's just that he is kind by nature, so how can he know the complicated changes in people's hearts?" He sighed:

"Chu Shaolian was classmates with him when he was young. At that time, they were both young and had no family or power. In the end, they all parted ways because of disagreements. After many years, with the burden of family and camp, how can they go their separate ways?" Maybe we can reconcile without any grievances?"

Hearing this, Yao Ruoyun thought of Su Wenfang's expression and tone when he mentioned Chu Shaolian earlier, and couldn't help hesitating:

"Then uncle..."

"Your uncle just doesn't want to think about the darkness of human nature, he will understand this truth sooner or later." Liu Bingzhou seemed to see his unbearable heart, and comforted him.

"Since my grandfather thinks my uncle's method is wrong, why didn't I point it out earlier and prevent my uncle from looking for Chu Shaolian?"

"Ruoyun, the Daqing Dynasty has gone so far that it is hard to get back. The conflict between the monsters just caused many problems to break out in advance." He said softly:
"There are some things that you know you can't do, but you have to do them. In comparison, your uncle's method can't be said to be perfect in everything, but the harm between the two powers is the lesser." He patiently taught his grandson:

"Generally speaking, your uncle's solution to this matter is good, but it's a pity that people's hearts are immeasurable, and it is easy to change the situation. This is the problem I am talking about."

Yao Ruoyun looked dazed, and nodded after a long time, and said yes softly.

He was born in a wealthy family with loving parents and a harmonious family. He was also kind and upright, full of scholarly spirit.

The complexity of officialdom and people's hearts is too heavy for him, and maybe he will spend his whole life practicing this difficult problem in the future.

Liu Bingzhou didn't say any more, leaving time for him to digest, then turned to look at Yao Shouning:

"Since you asked this, Shouning, you must have 'seen' something, right?"

Seeing that his grandfather had already figured it out, Yao Shouning nodded and said:
"Yes."

After finishing speaking, she said what she 'saw' in the illusion:
"I saw the death of Chu Shaolian."

This is not the first time she has seen Chu Shaolian's death, but today, following Su Wenfang's words, the premonition reappeared, and Yao Shouning affirmed:

"I think the cause of his death may have something to do with my uncle's proposal."

Yao Ruoyun already knew about her sister's supernatural powers, so she didn't interrupt rashly, and Liu Bingzhou didn't make a sound, motioning Yao Shouning to continue:

"I saw him become an official, denounce the rebellious ministers, jump off the wall to die, and use his death to show his ambition."

She paused, then continued:

"Among Chu Shaolian's scolding, I heard him call the disobedient surname Wen."

These few words revealed several pieces of information.

Yao Ruoyun felt a 'sudden' in her heart, and turned to look at her grandfather, only to see his brows slightly frowned. Obviously, the three of them thought of the same person: Wen Jingsui.

Wen Jingsui has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child, and because of Gu Huanzhi's praise, he was well-known in the capital of gods at a young age.

If it wasn't for this evil disaster that caused the turmoil in Daqing, according to the normal development time, he would definitely learn and become an official in the future, and his future would be extraordinary.

Even though he is also a young and energetic scholar, Yao Ruoyun also admits that Wen Jingsui is different from ordinary people.

However, the information revealed by Yao Shouning's words at this time seems to mean that Wen Jingsui is very likely to cause a major incident that will shake the foundation of Daqing...

"This..." Yao Ruoyun was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to say.

On the contrary, Liu Bingzhou, after experiencing the surprise at the beginning, quickly calmed down:
"It's nothing unusual."

At his age, self-cultivation and tolerance are extraordinary, even though the power and dynasties of the Daqing Dynasty alternated, it seemed to him that it was just an insignificant matter.

He is only worried about the invasion of evil spirits and the common people in the world.

"It is said that the royal family has a prophecy spoken by Xu Zhao, a sage of the Bianji clan 700 years ago." He said this gently, looking at Yao Shouning, the grandfather and grandson said in unison:
"Daqing died in 31 generations."

"Daqing died in 31 generations."
