Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 32 The South City Conspiracy (1)
Nancheng, late at night.

Mu Qing rode her horse all the way to the place the prince had reminded her of, but as soon as she approached, there was an unpleasant rancid smell, which made Mu Qing frowned uncontrollably.She rode a horse around the gate of the city a few times, wanting to see the surrounding environment and terrain first, but found that the city was unguarded.This made her even more puzzled.

This southern city is very strange, and where does this unpleasant smell come from.

At this time, the horse under Mu Qing suddenly stopped, and turned her head to go back.Mu Qing frowned, grabbed the rein with all her strength, and finally stood still after the horse circled around in place a few times, but when she stood back to the stand, she seemed to be frightened, and she seemed desperate to move forward.

She turned her head and looked at Shangguan Yu who was also coming from behind, only to find that even his horse was unwilling to get any closer.

Mu Qing thought for a while, got off the horse, and walked quietly by the moonlight.But the closer she got, the stronger Mu Qing found that unpleasant smell, which made her shudder uncontrollably.Suddenly, she seemed to be tripped by something, but fortunately, she was relatively quick to react, so she was able to stand firmly on the side.

But when she lowered her head to see the thing that tripped her just now, her eyes shrank suddenly, and she subconsciously took a breath.

Why... is it a person's hand?

Mu Qing hurriedly turned her head, and when she saw the corpses piled up like a mountain, she couldn't help being startled.

The rancid smell was probably emanating from these dead people, and it seemed that it had been there for some time.

How could so many people die?

But in this city, did so many people really live in this city?

Mu Qing frowned, then turned her head to look at the closed city wall, "Could Nancheng be a dead city?" Shaking her head, she looked back at the pile of corpses.

The number of these corpses almost caught up with the number of people in a small city.If Nancheng hadn't been reduced to a dead city, it would be... the people in Nancheng far exceeded the number of people that a city could accommodate.

Here, something is wrong.

Mu Qing squinted her eyes, flicked her robe lightly, and walked towards the gate of Nancheng, but she was about to push it, but she stopped her fingertips.

She took a step back, looked down at the ground, and swept her toes.

This city gate has not been opened for a long time.

"No, you can't get in through this door." Mu Qing stood calmly at the door for a while, then walked directly towards the mountain of corpses.

When she got back to the original place, she looked up, and after a while, she folded her hands together, "I offended everyone today, and I will definitely add more incense in the future, and pray for everyone's salvation." The mountain of corpses caused Shangguan Yu's eyes behind him to shrink back uncontrollably.

May I ask how many women in the world have such courage?
With a long sigh, he imitated Mu Qing's movements and followed.

After climbing over the dense mountain of corpses, Mu Qing saw a small door made of stone.She came to the door and swept it with her toes. When she saw the marks that had been drawn repeatedly and the blood that had turned bright red, she raised her eyes, "This is the real door." Mu Qing whispered, Carefully push the small door open.

The small door was pushed open, and a hell-like sound mixed with ruins gradually came. As the gap in the door widened, Mu Qing's pupils also gradually enlarged.

After Nancheng, there are skinny people everywhere, no matter old people or children, they are almost all lying outside the house, densely packed.

She walked in slowly, looking vigilantly at the ghost-like people around her, with an invisible pain constantly surging in her heart.

This is wrong, why is this sense of disobedience?

And at this moment, even Shangguan Yu was a little surprised, "Madam, there is a Nancheng file left in the East Factory, which clearly says——Nancheng, there was a disaster at the beginning, and the money has been allocated. The people live in peace, and the world is stable... Absolutely not now."

"Oh?" Mu Qing whispered, looking around quietly, "Can this also be called the people living in peace, the world is stable? The word hell on earth is an understatement." After speaking, she slowly turned her head again.

Nancheng was indeed the same as the second situation she thought - all of them were people. There were so many people that if they died... no one would see them. When they died, they would be treated as worthless and thrown directly on the mountain of corpses behind.

This number is definitely not normal, so these people are definitely not from Nancheng.

But where did so many come from, and how did they survive here?
That question is unknown, but she is clear about one thing - Nancheng is already a place where disaster victims gather.

If these disaster victims are not appeased, they are likely to turn into mobs and rise up!If the timing is right, as soon as civil strife breaks out, the state of Jin will send troops down to attack Nanyue.

The subjugation of a country has always been roughly in four words: internal and external troubles.

So the chilling scene in front of him is the gunpowder buried in the ground that will swallow everything at any time.

Who is it?

Who is it that has committed crimes so far?

Who on earth is he who will not hesitate to... massacre the people and subjugate the country!

At this moment, Mu Qing suddenly saw a familiar figure walking by not far away. The man was wearing a cloak, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but for some reason, his slender body always made Mu Qing feel familiar for a while. .After chasing for a few steps, but in vain, only a piece of cloth was found beside a wooden branch.Mu Qing thought about it a little, then stuffed it into her bosom.At this moment, Mu Qing still wanted to continue chasing her, but at this moment a mob rushed over, trying to grab her things like crazy.Mu Qing sighed in her heart, she had to give up on chasing her.

When Shangguan Yu saw someone making trouble, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.Mu Qing wanted to help, but a person behind her suddenly covered her mouth, then she turned around and was dragged into the pitch-black slit.

He hugged her behind him tightly, as if he didn't give her any space to leave, and could only hear the irregular breathing of the two of them, Mu Qing clenched her fists, looked at each other, and quickly judged the situation in her mind .

Is this person trying to save her, or is he also trying to tear her into pieces?If it's the latter, then she is really lucky and consummated.

So she gritted her teeth and bumped hard with her elbow.The person behind him seemed to be quite skilled, cleverly dodged the attack, and instead locked her tightly in his arms.The lips moved lightly, and came to her ear, and then said in a cold and low voice, "If you don't want to die, don't move around."

Mu Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, she always felt that the voice was a bit familiar.The fragrance is lingering, although it is slightly cool, it also makes her feel familiar just like the voice.And it seems that not long ago, it was still flooding around me.Mu Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, and she ruthlessly stomped on the instep of the person behind her.After the man was stunned, she was finally free.She turned around abruptly and looked at that person, first with surprise in her eyes, and then with a touch of "really so" irritability.

The man snorted coldly, turned his eyes back, and looked at Mu Qing through the moonlight.Heiliang's pupils suddenly shrank, showing a hint of stupefaction.

One is the queen who should be in the Dragon and Phoenix Terrace, and the other is the emperor who went alone to find flowers and ask willows.At this moment, they met in a place where they were out of reach.

"Tsk." Beitang snorted abruptly, and heard another noise from all around, so he pulled Mu Qing back into the crack.There can only be two people here, she and him are close to each other, so close that they can feel each other's breath.The cold fragrance was bitter, sweeping through her heart.Mu Qing took a deep breath, and there was a little irritability in her clear eyes.Beitang Feng's handsome eyes also flashed with sullen anger, lowered his voice, and said coldly: "Leaving the palace without authorization will be a more serious crime."

Mu Qing's right eye narrowed slightly, remembering the humiliation left by him in the palace, so she smiled brightly and said: "The place where the emperor looks for flowers and willows is really special."

Beitangfeng's eyes froze, and then he remembered what he said to Su Muqing before leaving the palace, turned his head and looked around solemnly, "Just passing by."

passing by...?

Mu Qing sneered, but there was a complex emotion seeping out of her drooping eyes.

As expected, Beitangfeng wanted to avoid her. He was the one who chased her fiercely back then, but now he is the one hiding. She can only say...a man's heart, she can't figure it out...Could it be...

Mu Qing raised her right eyebrow lightly, looked up at Beitangfeng, a faint blue light flickered in her deep eyes, "Is it possible that the emperor is taking revenge on his concubines for avoiding the emperor's kiss by accident?"

At the end of the sentence, Beitangfeng's body seemed to stiffen slightly, he turned his gaze to look at Mu Qing, there was some helplessness and silence in Hei Yao, and then he replied indifferently: "I wouldn't do such a childish thing." It's something." As he said that, he turned his face sideways again, and the breeze blew by, and he couldn't see his expression anymore.

"So that's the case. The concubine was thinking too much." Mu Qing also looked away like Beitangfeng, and the smile just disappeared on the face where the hair was stroked. Beitangfeng occasionally glanced over, and her eyes quietly revealed A little shaken.

"Your and my clothes are too conspicuous." Mu Qing said suddenly, raised her eyes to look at Beitangfeng, and then suddenly started to tear the hem of her clothes into a mess.The violent movements caused his elbows to poke Beitangfeng's chest several times, and even almost broke his face. Finally, Beitangfeng couldn't take it anymore, grabbed Mu Qing's wrist, and said: "Be careful point!"

Mu Qing paused, looked at him coldly, and said: "If you hit the emperor, you are welcome to call back."

After finishing speaking, she withdrew her right hand and continued to tear her clothes.

The corners of Beitangfeng's eyebrows twitched vaguely, wondering how he could provoke this woman, seeing her momentum at this moment, as if the cloth torn into strips in his hand was his Beitangfeng.He looked down at the dress that Mu Qing was tearing up with some displeasure, and silently mourned for the poor fabric. Unexpectedly, his handsome eyes froze suddenly, and he grabbed Mu Qing's wrist again, "Is this my dress?"

Mu Qing lowered her head, looked down, and smiled leisurely, "The concubine said, no wonder it's so ugly." After finishing speaking, she tore the robe more thoroughly, and then approached suddenly, wrapping her arms around Beitangfeng's body. waistline.

Bei Tangfeng's eyes trembled, he squeezed her arms fiercely, and said, "What do you want to do?"

Mu Qing just smiled and didn't answer, her fingertips grabbed a small corner from behind, and with a "shua", she also tore Beitangfeng's clothes to pieces.

The fabric was torn to reveal a faint velvet, which floated gently in front of Beitang Feng. He held his breath as much as possible and tried to close his eyes, as if this was the last way for him to restrain the desire to throw this woman out.

Mu Qing deliberately ignored all of Beitangfeng's expressions, and when she was done with her clothes, she grabbed Beitangfeng's hand, used him as a support for her struggling waist, and used her slender palm to smear all kinds of things on the ground.

Because the place is narrow, she dragged him to keep his body from falling, he could still understand.

But she was on the ground, smearing on the mud...

Beitangfeng, who always pays attention to appearance, trembled violently, as if he understood what Mu Qing was going to do next, so he hurriedly wanted to shake off the hands that were holding him tightly.But in the end it was still a step too late, the moment Mu Qing raised her upper body, she put all the mud on Bei Tangfeng's handsome face, she was smiling and smeared it leisurely.

"It looks good when it's evenly applied." Seeing Bei Tangfeng with a dirty face and his whole body so stiff that he couldn't speak, Mu Qing really couldn't help laughing, and the more she couldn't help smiling, Bei Tangfeng Tang Feng's body became stiffer.

He is not a fool either, the reason why he tolerates this woman's rudeness is because he knows that this woman wants to hide among these refugees in this way.However, he was the majestic king of a country, and he was always well-groomed and never messy. It was the first time in his life that he was treated like this.

"There's so much nonsense." Beitangfeng said coldly, revealing this kind of displeasure all over his body.

"The concubine, don't say it, don't say it." Mu Qing slightly curled her lower lip, and she did not speak again until she had painted both of them with mud color before she breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up straight .

During this process, Beitangfeng kept quietly looking at the busy people in front of him, and a calm green light flashed in Junyi's eyes.

In fact, he really wanted to know why this woman appeared here.Beitangfeng narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

With everything in place, Su Muqing and Beitangfeng found a chance to get out of the crack.Beitangfeng originally wanted to hand Su Muqing to Shangguan Yu to go alone, but he still couldn't get rid of her persistent woman, so he had to bite the bullet and go with her.Mu Qing looked at the back of Beitangfeng walking forward, and something gradually became clear in her heart.

Even Beitangfeng did not hesitate to visit Nancheng in disguise at night, fearing that something really happened in the court.And according to Shangguan Yu, someone must have concealed this hidden danger and not reported it.Otherwise, Beitangfeng would not come here quietly after getting rid of all eyeliner.

At least the purpose of this time, the two of them have reached an agreement.The prince will never remind her of Nancheng for no reason. There must be something that has a great relationship with her. Although she hasn't found any clues yet, at least follow Beitangfeng first, maybe there will be something to gain.Mu Qing took a deep breath, seeing that Beitang Feng was about to turn a corner, she hurriedly followed with small steps.

Not long after, Mu Qing and Beitangfeng, who were covered in filth, walked slowly to a place that looked somewhat similar to a temple, and it was full of sleeping people.

There is a dead silence here, which makes people shudder and weird.The sudden appearance of a figure made Mu Qing's eyes tremble unexpectedly, and even Bei Tangfeng became a little more vigilant, and subconsciously pulled Mu Qing into his arms.Mu Qing's heart tightened, and she raised her eyes to look at Beitangfeng.She and him looked at each other for a while, and in those quiet eyes and usually cold handsome eyes, there was a kind of silent stupefaction.

Bei Tangfeng let go of his hand, and Mu Qing seemed to understand this look, and the two finally reached a consensus - go in and find out.

After thinking about it, Mu Qing took a step forward.Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, causing Mu Qing to shiver suddenly.

This place is really uncomfortably cold, especially at night.

Mu Qing rubbed her lower arms with her hands, and just as she lowered her hands, her catkins were tightly held by a pair of warm palms.

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and wanted to withdraw her hand, but she was still firmly clenched until she entered the room.

Inside the dilapidated ancestral hall, it was dark and damp, with some pale cobwebs knotted in the corners, giving off an abandoned desolation.There were many people lying on the ground, both adults and children.From time to time, you can see some people leaning against the wall panting weakly, their eyes are dull, and they can't even tell whether they are alive or dead.

Mu Qing's heart couldn't help but tugged, and the blood color gradually faded from her little face that was still full of vitality just now.

Hell on earth, worthy of the name.

Looking at these people, Mu Qing subconsciously shook Beitangfeng's hand, as if she was really overwhelmed by the sadness in her heart.

The black shadow walking around the ancestral hall just now suddenly appeared not far away, Beitangfeng and Mu Qing subconsciously paused, looking over there carefully.

Could it be that there are ghosts?The two are not only dark.

As the night breeze picked up, a beam of moonlight gradually shone down along the leaky tiles, vaguely revealing the true face of the black shadow.Mu Qing squinted her eyes and looked intently, and finally saw the nagging person clearly.It turned out that it was not a ghost at all, but a living person, a skinny person who seemed to be muttering something.

The man kicked the person who was leaning against the wall just now, and said in a low voice, "Hey... another one died..."

When Beitangfeng heard this, he slid his eyes to look at the corpse that was kicked away by this man, and then slid his eyes back to look at the man who was still in good spirits. He suddenly pulled Mu Qing's hand, stepped forward and asked: "Who are you?" People here?"

As soon as the man saw Beitangfeng, he was so frightened by his majesty that he fell to the ground, looked at him tremblingly and said: "You... who are you..."

"Zhen... No. Get up, I have something to ask you." Bei Tangfeng said, with a gleam of light in Junyi's eyes.

When Mu Qing saw it, she wrinkled her face together instantly.

Beitangfeng is indeed still the emperor, even though she wanted to admire his mighty power, she still couldn't help but feel that the brilliance shining on him was incompatible with this place.So he took a deep breath, and shook his hand vigorously before Beitangfeng.She glanced sideways, stretched out her slender hand to lightly cover Beitangfeng's chest, and signaled him to wait first.

Beitangfeng paused for a moment, seeing the trembling person on the ground, he also understood what she meant, so he took a step back and handed over the questioning to this woman who seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

With Beitangfeng's tacit approval, Mu Qing was a little relieved.She stepped forward and came to the man's side, "Oh, don't be afraid, we have also suffered a disaster and fled here. My elder brother is born to like to pretend to be a dignitary, but he is actually very timid. Look at him coming in , and keep holding my hand, otherwise I wouldn’t even dare to leave Ye Dao.”

When Bei Tangfeng heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, and a suppressed light suddenly shot out from his calm handsome eyes. He suddenly let go of Mu Qing's hand, looking a little resentful.

Mu Qing cast a glance from the corner of her eye, not preventing him from settling accounts after autumn, so she mouthed: "It's just a trick, a trick."

After reading it, there was a faint smile in Mu Qing's eyes, seeing Bei Tangfeng's eyes, she couldn't help but ooze some helplessness, he turned around and moved a few steps, a faint pampering appeared on his face.

The trembling people on the ground were delighted after hearing Su Muqing's words, stretched themselves up and said, "Well, I yelled as soon as I came up, it turned out to be a fool."

Mu Qing took a sharp breath, and subconsciously looked at Beitangfeng again, only to see him staring at that person sternly, staring at her quietly, with an invisible killing intent on his calm face.Mu Qing laughed dryly in her heart, quickly used her eyes to smooth things over, and couldn't help but mutter in her heart: There are really examples of misfortune coming out of the mouth, brother, you have indirectly committed a capital crime.

Mu Qing was stunned, and hurriedly interrupted what the man was still wanting to say, "That. We just came here, and I want to ask you something. Hmm..."

When Mu Qing said this, she glanced at Beitangfeng for a while, and when she saw the seriousness in Beitangfeng's eyes, Mu Qing guessed what he wanted to ask, so she continued: "I heard that the disaster relief funds for Nancheng have already been paid. After coming down, why is there still nothing in Nancheng..."

"Oh, what kind of disaster relief funds, there is no fart, that is, the emperor's old man made a fuss, said it nicely, and didn't even pull out a hair, he..."

"Oh, this ancestral hall is so cold." Mu Qing spoke suddenly, interrupting the resentful person.

Of course, she didn't want to see Beitangfeng's expression now, it should be enough to freeze to death.
