Laughing like crazy, the metaphysics boss just came out of his stall and was noticed by the police

Chapter 23 The illusion of past life
Xun Yan felt like he was trapped in a whirlpool and couldn't control it.

"Huai Xiu, Huai Xiu." Someone seemed to be calling him.

The vision gradually became clear, and there was a smell of burnt meat in the nose. A man in a Chinese robe beside him said softly, "What are you thinking about? The Huo family army is about to enter the city. You are not afraid of death."

"Huo Jiajun?" Why is this word so familiar?

"Yes, as for the army of the female devil Huo Qiang, didn't your father surrender to it on behalf of the Nan'an County family?"

Xun Yan pursed his lips and said no more.

Being in the entertainment industry, time travel was not uncommon for him, but when it happened to him, he just felt uneasy.

Looking around, his uneasiness turned into fear.

In front of them, a group of handsomely dressed young men, were piles of burnt corpses and severed limbs.

Even a severed head was looking at him with wide, unwilling eyes.

Xun Yan closed his eyes and quickly grasped the blood jade on his chest out of habit.

He doesn't belong here.

This must be an illusion, and he has to find a way out.

The man in rich clothes saw his actions and couldn't help but whisper, "Aren't you still waiting for the woman who is destined to have this piece of blood jade? Don't think about it."

Blood jade?
wait?

Xun Yan opened his eyes and looked at the man in rich clothes. Could it be that this was his previous life?

He looked down and saw that the blood jade lying in his palm seemed different from his. It was light in color, without bloodthirsty restlessness, only a faint warmth.

"Don't you know that Huo Qiang's attempt to conquer the world has become a trend, and the Nan'an clans will send a group of young men to Huo Qiang. She has no men close to her yet, so now is the best time to take action."

"How could your father and I miss such a good opportunity?"

"I know you still carry the pride of being a gentleman from an aristocratic family, but you are no longer the former dynasty."

"But if you want to leave, I can help you."

The man in fine clothes continued.

Just at this moment, there was a commotion at the city gate and the sound of horse hooves.

Xun Yan couldn't help but look up and saw that the leader was a woman in black robes and a battle suit, holding a halberd and looking majestic.

Against the light, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he only felt that it was unusually familiar.

Close, close, he could see clearly.

"Fu Yiqing?" Xun Yan shouted, and the woman looked at him and suddenly smiled.

Before he could ask, the scene changed and he was trapped in another body.

The night was clear, the north wind was blowing, and he was sitting on the roof with his clothes tight, seemingly waiting for someone.

Suddenly there were several strange sounds under the house, and within a moment, a figure pretending to be there fell beside him.

Xun Yan was shocked, it was Fu Yiqing.

When the other party saw him smiling like this, his smile was extremely bright.

And he handed him a bottle of... wine?

"You said you are so weak, why do you insist on making an appointment with me here?" As soon as he finished speaking, a large tiger skin cloak fell on him.

"Because this is where the Lord can see me." When he said these words, Xun Yan felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

Is it the original body?
Or the previous self?
"There's no need to make an appointment here. I only have military advisors in my eyes. Try Huo Jiajun's home-brewed bar. Why do people from your aristocratic family always feel sad?"

Huo Qiang seemed unable to detect his thoughts and began to drink to the moon.

Xun Yan felt sad, this man was just like Fu Yiqing in reality, very charming.

"The Lord lives a carefree and carefree life, and has a rift in his heart. Naturally, we cannot compare to him."

Hearing this, Huo Qiang looked at him, her expression not as relaxed as it was at first. "Shen Huaixiu, go and have a look outside the city. While you can stay by the stove to keep warm, and you can be dissatisfied because a piece of clothing does not suit your needs, there are people who are not fed enough, who are not clothed warmly, who sell their sons and daughters, and are trampled like mud. .”

"I……"

"I'm not dissatisfied with you, Shen Huaixiu. You are very smart and talented. You are the talent I lack, and you are also a rare confidant in my life, Huo Qiang."

Huo Qiang turned her head to look at him, and there seemed to be something different in her eyes, "Put your mind away, not now, the world is uncertain."

The meaning of these words was obvious. Looking at the face that looked similar to Fu Yiqing's, Xun Yan's heart was filled with anger, and he was even a little jealous of the body that trapped him.

Later, Shen Huaixiu and Shen Yan, the eldest son of the Shen family, led the Shen family to become Huo Qiang's solid backing and an indispensable hero for Huo Qiang's ascension to the throne.

Xun Yan felt that he and his lover should have good results in this life.

But Shen Huaixiu had his own ambitions and took the same revenge as Huo Qiang. The world was stable, the seas and rivers were clear, and the people were fed and clothed.

And to do this requires greater efforts.

After Huo Qiang ascended the throne, the Shen family became increasingly agitated because of his relationship with Huo Qiang, so he invited himself to serve in a bitter and cold place.

That day, when Huo Qiang saw him off, he said, "Go ahead and do it, Ayan, I'm afraid you will regret it one day."

At that time, he didn't know the meaning behind this sentence.

It wasn't until ten months later that he received the news that Huo Qiang had appointed Cui Jiazi as Fengjun one month after he left. Eight months later, he and Fengjun gave birth to a daughter.

Xun Yan almost felt the uncontrollable pain in Shen Yan's heart. He violated the prefect's order not to return to the capital without permission and returned to the capital.

That day, snowflakes were falling all over the ground, and he saw a scene that was even more unacceptable to him.

In the white snow, there were bloodstains, like plum blossoms blooming all over the earth. He looked along the bloodstains.

I saw Shen’s father’s head and Shen’s mother’s head.

The heads of more than 100 members of the Shen family are here.

Even the infant, that is Brother Shen Yan's youngest son who has just turned one month old.

"Ah——" The thin and tired figure was hunched in the snow. The beautiful pictures and memories of the past were gradually crumbling.

Shen Yan didn't believe it, and didn't even dare to think about how true what Huo Qiang said on the roof was.

He was brought to the palace by the Cui family. At that time, the Cui family's son was also playing with the child in the palace's arms.

Xun Yan was in a trance for a while. This man seemed to be the first person he had ever seen. He was in a trance again, and his mind was controlled by Shen Yan's pain and despair.

"Shen Yan, as the son of a guilty minister, His Majesty has obviously let you go, but you returned to the capital privately. This is disobedience to the monarch."

Cui Jiazi was very proud, with a hint of meanness on his clear face, which was so ugly that Shen Yan sneered.

Cui Jiazi's expression changed immediately, and suddenly he heard Huo Qiang's cold voice behind him, "Get out."

The female official invited the Cui family and the palace attendants with their children out.

For a time, there were only two people left in the imperial study room.

Huo Qiang covered Shen Yan with a tiger skin cloak. The eyes he looked at showed the indifference and rationality of the emperor, "You shouldn't come back."

Shen Yan answered the question inappropriately, "Is the child mine?"

"Yes or no, now they are both my and the Cui family's blood."

Chen Yan's chest surged, and he suddenly grabbed Huo Qiang's wrist as he was about to leave, pulling her into his arms. He saw the panic hidden in her eyes and smiled.

"You want to protect me?"

"Is it possible that you want to hide your beauty in a golden house?"

"Huo Qiang, there is nothing such a good thing in the world."

puff-

It was the sound of a sharp knife piercing flesh.
