After Chuan Shu died, the four apprentices turned black

Chapter 38 Before that
"Om-"

"Zizi-"

There was a sudden ear-piercing buzzing sound in her mind, as if the signal was abnormal, Yue Ying almost fell off her horse in the dark.

"Host!" The system voice was full of anxiety.

Yue Ying was overjoyed, and quickly responded:
"System? You are finally back."

She complained in a tone, because she was trapped in a dark space before, unable to contact others at all, and even the on-call system disappeared, and now she is a little scared in retrospect.

"Woooooh, host, I'm finally back, the system was abnormal just now, you couldn't hear my voice at all."

The system is sad too, it's totally unintentional.

"What's going on? What is that black space? Didn't you say that I can reload after I die? Now I doubt the authenticity of what you said. It won't be true if I die. , if that strange man didn't save me today, would I still be able to come back?" Yueying asked one question after another, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"It's because of the strange man you mentioned that I can't contact you!" The system complained loudly, "And in that black space, didn't you hear a mysterious voice?"

"You know it all!" Yue Ying's eyes widened, "You mean this accident has something to do with that man and the mysterious voice?"

"Of course! I'm just blocked and you can't hear me, but it's always there."

"This time I didn't even expect that the three protagonists would appear at the same time. The moment you contacted them, my information database was in chaos, and a notification popped up at the same time, you met the mission targets 'Pang Yuan' and 'Dragon Dragon'." What, together with Nangong Yuheng who is right next to me, the three mission objectives appeared at the same time, and the position was too strong, which blocked me."

"But don't be afraid, the host. That black space is used to temporarily store your soul. When your body dies, you will enter that space, and then I will put you back to the save point through my operation. I didn't expect Long Shi to You can break through the barriers of space and find your soul... This time it was an accident, my system has been upgraded, and in the future even if four mission targets appear at the same time, there will be no confusion!"

It made a strong promise, for fear that Yue Ying would no longer trust it.

The more Yueying listened, the more confused she became. What is the situation? Some kind of "crematorium plot" has already begun to appear?

Originally, the book she transmigrated into was a novel famous for the plot of the crematorium, but she did not expect three key characters to appear so soon.

Pang Yuan, that strange man who saved her life, the deepest impression she has on him is his appearance, people who have seen Pang Yuan's face will never forget it, by the way, she feels that he is not a good person, no Thinking of going back to save her life by mistake, could it be the attraction of fate between the protagonists?

Long Shi, she doesn't have any key impressions. After all, the only contact with him is his voice, which is elusive from far and near, but it's just that he was by her side at the most crucial and most lonely and helpless time. It's enough to make Yueying feel grateful to him.

All of them popping up out of nowhere, Yueying still feels a little unreal, always feeling that each of these people is more mysterious and strange than the other, and they all seem to be quite powerful... I don't know what will happen in the future.

She looked at Nangong Yuheng who was driving alongside her. The boy's profile was handsome and serious, and his jet-black hair was blown up by the night wind.

He noticed Yue Ying's gaze, and turned his head slightly to show an inquiring expression.

"Nangong..."

The scene became illusory again, which was a sign that he was going back out of memory. Yueying saw his thin lips parted slightly, but couldn't hear what he said.

"The memory recall is over, the plot is 15% complete, please continue to work hard on the host!"

Exiting from the backtracking, the night was silent, she was still lying in the carriage and couldn't hear any sound, she felt a little deaf for a while, and felt the breeze surging in the next second, as if the sound insulation film around her disappeared silently , Yueying heard the sound of wheels and horseshoes again.

Nangong Yuheng lifted the curtain from outside the carriage and entered:

"Why did your Highness wake up, can't you sleep well?"

With a concerned tone, he turned on the lights in the carriage while asking, and saw a thin layer of sweat on Yueying's forehead.

"Is it too hot?" He leaned over again, and reached out to feel the temperature on Tan Yueying's forehead.

There was a unique coolness on the back of his hand, which made Yue Ying feel very comfortable, and the anxiety and tension caused by the turbulent experience in the retrospective also eased.

"Your Highness is asleep?" He looked at Yue Ying's blank eyes, a little funny, and encouraged the gentle breeze to drive her away, "Why can't you say a word."

Yueying looked at him, feeling very subtle.

Since the first meeting, Nangong has been taking care of her silently, but because she is not familiar with her, she doesn't feel much. Now that they have experienced a lot in "backtracking", they have cultivated some feelings. Of course, Nangong has always had deep feelings for her, and the cultivation of feelings here mainly refers to Yueying's unilateral.

Looking at Nangong's small actions at this time, I feel cute and distressed, and I feel more and more precious about his heart, and feel sorry for him and the original "Yueying".

Previously, she treated them more as characters in the book. Although they looked like flesh and blood, she always treated them with an objective and alienated attitude.

This time, she died once in the book, but she has a sense of reality to this world, as if she also belongs to this world, real flesh and blood.

"Nangong." She called him softly.

Observing her expression, Nangong Yuheng gradually realized that there was something wrong with Yueying's current state. He immediately looked serious, and his relaxed waist straightened a little:

"His Highness said."

"Do you still remember that on the grassland, we encountered an enemy attack at night, and then..."

"Have you remembered, Your Highness?" Nangong Yuheng grabbed her hand with great strength, "How could I forget, you almost...forget it, this is a bad experience, I hope you can forget it."

He thought that Yueying's mood was wrong because he remembered this horrible incident. After he remembered this incident, it was always a shadow. During the years when Yueying disappeared, he would often dream of the bloody sword that pierced through Yueying. Ying's chest, as well as her fresh face, gradually turned gray.

In the dream, Yueying was not rescued, but really died. Whenever this time, he would wake up covered in cold sweat. Pain, when he regained his senses and realized that Yueying had been missing for a long time, the pain turned into boundless loss and annihilation, overwhelming him even more.

Then he just sat there until dawn, and then managed to pull himself together the next day to do what he had to do, such as dealing with the mess that had just been established in Yuguo, and finding news about Yueying like a needle in a haystack.

He is so terrified of this memory, one can imagine how terrified Yue Ying is about this matter. He wanted to comfort her, and while observing her reaction, he stretched out his hand tentatively, but Yue Ying took the initiative to hug her the next second. Living.

He froze, a little unbelievable, he didn't expect that she would take the initiative to hug him.

But it was just like this, which made him more sure about Yueying's fear and fear of this matter, which made her eager to hug him for comfort.

He slowly hugged her back and patted her on the back distressedly, without any distracting thoughts or joy in his heart.

"Perhaps he is going to deal with the demons. His Highness reminded him of this matter. I should have brought His Highness down earlier." He blamed himself, his voice low.

"No, I want to come, I have to stay with you." Yueying murmured in his arms.

Knowing it's not a good thing, but she seems to be relying more and more on his embrace.

In memory retrospect, Nangong Yuheng has been like this since he was a child, always grabbing her hand immediately when encountering things, and then standing in front of her, without any hesitation.

His palm, his embrace, he... can always give her the greatest sense of security.

Hearing what she said, Nangong Yuheng had some unreasonable expectations rising in his heart, but he suppressed them forcefully, and only enjoyed the tenderness of this moment in silence.

"Okay, I'm fine, you should take a rest too!" Yueying said as she withdrew from his embrace, intending to stand up and replace him.

With his arms empty, Nangong Yuheng withdrew his hand regretfully, leaning lazily against the board wall:

"I'm not tired. Go to sleep, Your Highness. I'll watch over you."

"No, I'm full of sleep, it's your turn, we agreed at the beginning!" Yue Ying pretended to be serious, and Ma Liu got up and pushed him onto the couch.

I thought he would struggle, but unexpectedly he didn't resist at all, and was pushed down by her as if he had no strength, his long hair was scattered on the couch, looking defenseless, he looked at Yue Ying eagerly, his eyes sparkling .

Yueying froze for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, this... She couldn't help but look at his slightly moving Adam's apple.

"Your Highness is really strong." He said quietly, with a sad expression.

Yueying's whole body went numb, her eyes widened:

"I just pushed it casually...I'll go out to blow some air, and you can sleep by yourself."

She realized that he was acting to tease her, she was a little ashamed, turned around and lifted the curtain, and went out, leaving him alone inside to act as he liked.

Nangong Yuheng looked at the back of her leaving in shame and indignation, laughed a few times, then sighed again, and was about to stand up, reached out his hand to touch the residual temperature in the collapse room, fell silent for two seconds, and changed his mind again I lay back down with peace of mind.

"His Royal Highness Mingchen."

When the groom who drove the carriage saw her coming out, he was stunned for a moment, then gave a respectful shout, and moved to the side somewhat awkwardly, trying to give her the space that was not too big.

Yueying nodded, holding on tightly to the side of the carriage for fear of knocking herself down, she noticed that the carriage was running extremely fast and the wind was strong, so she had to squat down and sit awkwardly.

After a while, she asked abruptly:

"How long until we arrive?"

"Half an hour."

"That's not far." Yueying was surprised. Although the carriage ran fast, the places that could be reached in one day were not too far away. She thought it would take several days to get there.

The monsters actually appeared so close to the imperial city. You must know that the imperial city is the safest and most prosperous place. People's living conditions are good. Chaos and disasters rarely happen near here, so the living environment of the monsters is also very difficult. Very nasty.

But now the monster can appear in such a close place?

What's more, this is not the Yunze Country in the past, where the people live in dire straits and monsters are rampant. This is the Rain Country after the change of dynasty.

No wonder Nangong Yuheng paid so much attention to it, so he set off in person overnight.

Sure enough, what the coachman said was accurate, half an hour later the carriage drove steadily into a large town, surrounded by a large area of ​​fertile fields, and the word "Qi He" was written on the gate of the city.

Qihe City, Yueying has heard, is a major commercial city, most of the traveling merchants will pass through here, so the business is flourishing, the number of shops is amazing, almost every household is doing business.

If such an important place is invaded and destroyed by monsters, it will deal an unimaginable blow to Rain Nation.

Therefore, the action must be quick, and the monsters must be killed and cleared in the first place.

In the middle of the night, when the soldiers guarding the city saw that the carriage was about to block it, the driver stretched out his hand and flashed a token, and the soldiers immediately gave way in fear and respect.

There is no curfew in Qihe City. Even at this time, some shops are still lit, especially those large-scale taverns and inns, and people are coming in and out one after another. The main street is lit all the way, and occasionally there will be carriages and pedestrians passing by. , There are also traveling merchants who rush to leave early at night. This scene alone can tell how lively it will be during the day.

The carriage was parked firmly outside a low-key mansion, and there was nothing but the gate, like a no man's land.

Although it looks low-key from the outside, in fact, it is very high-profile to be able to build a mansion suddenly in such a central area surrounded by large shops.

Before Yueying could call, Nangong Yuheng had already lifted the curtain by himself.

Even if she just got up from the couch, she was still elegant and solemn, and her clothes were neat.

The door of the mansion opened at some point, and three people came quickly. The man at the head was half bowed, with a respectful expression:
"Master National Teacher."

The two servants at the back quickly set up a short ladder to make it easier for them to get down.

After stepping down first, Nangong Yuheng turned around and stretched out his hand to help Yueying. After she had completely stabilized, she turned to look at the man and asked softly:
"How's it going."

While talking, he walked into the mansion.

"Yes..." Before the man could speak, Nangong stopped him.

He waved his hand:

"Forget it, I'll ask Liao Zheng myself."

The Liao Zheng he was talking about was sitting in the main hall waiting for him at this time. This man was blind, his eyes were covered with white satin, but he didn't need to look at his eyes, the lower half of his face that was exposed was delicate and upright, which made people feel good.

He was dressed in white, and when he heard the sound, he turned his face to the direction they had come from.

"Brother Yuheng, the situation is not quite right this time."

"So I came here directly." Nangong Yuheng first arranged Yueying to sit beside him, smiled at her as an explanation, and then turned to discuss the business with peace of mind.

"Who did you bring?" Liao Zheng asked.

Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he felt more than normal people. From the sound of footsteps, it could be heard that Nangong Yuheng didn't come alone this time.

This is strange.

"It's Princess Mingchen." He briefly introduced.
