Xie Lian sighed.
He turned around and said,
"Ai, I want to, but now that the Heavenly Court's spiritual communication array has been destroyed, I don't remember the other Heavenly Official's spiritual communication password, so I can't say it even if I want to. Fu Yao,
Do you remember which Heavenly Official's password? Let me send some news back,
Tell them I'm here,
Ask for some people to help. "
His expression was extremely natural and persuasive.
The dark clouds on Fu Yao's face dispersed.
He said perfunctorily, "I don't know. Right now, the Heavenly Court is in chaos, and everyone is busy.
You can handle your own. "
At this time,
Hua Cheng said, "Brother, this child has been hungry for two days.
He has a fever. "
Xie Lian went over to take a look.
Sure enough, Gu Zi's forehead was so hot that it could fry an egg. He immediately grabbed Qi Rong.
He questioned.
"How did you raise a child?"
Qi Rong's face was covered in blood as he spat, "I'm not really his father! I'm already being merciful by not eating him! Quickly give me a great merit! "
Xie Lian said, "I think you didn't eat him because he had a fever and the taste wasn't good."
On the other side, Lan Yi hesitated for a moment.
She said, "Is that child sick? Why don't I take a look? "
She had also been smashed by the beam of the small broken house, but the pitiful child crawled over and picked up Gu Zi.
She covered his forehead with her palm as if she wanted to use her cold Yin body to neutralize the heat of Gu Zi. Fu Yao grabbed the fetus spirit wrapped into a ball by the yellow talisman and walked over. "It's time to go."
Lan Yi clearly didn't want to go, but her son was in his hands, so she was helpless. Xie Lian said, "Wait, you guys don't go yet. Fu Yao, can you talk to your General now? "
Fu Yao looked at him and said, "What do you want to do?"
Xie Lian hesitated. "Actually … …"
When he said the word 'actually', he suddenly moved like lightning and instantly locked both of Fu Yao's arms. Only then did he continue, "Actually, I already know something happened to him!"
Fu Yao was caught off guard for a moment and was shocked and angry. "You! Despicable! "
Xie Lian said, "No, no. This is my strength. You can try to use the same method to sneak attack me and see if you can lock me. "
Hua Cheng clapped his hands politely and said, "I agree."
Fu Yao was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes. "Then why don't you let me go and let me try?!"
Xie Lian sternly said, "I'll try again next time if I have the chance. Right now, I have proper business to attend to. Fuyao, can you help me persuade your general to return to the Heavenly Court first? "
"… Go back?"
Fu Yao forcefully suppressed his anger and said in a soft voice, "You make it sound so easy! If you were in the same situation, would you choose to go back? What would you say if someone tried to persuade you to go back? Go back and wait to be wrongly accused and convicted? Go back and wait for death?! "
Xie Lian said, "Don't get excited, I'm serious. I'm not making cynical remarks. Your general is different from me. His situation isn't so serious that he can't be saved. Running away like this is the worst thing he can do. Now, many priests have already convicted him. If you can contact him, tell him that I can help him investigate this matter. "
Fu Yao was stunned. "You're helping him investigate?"
Xie Lian replied, "En. I've done a lot of research, so I'm quite experienced. In any case, I'm more experienced than him. "
Fu Yao said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, may I ask if you remember how many priests you investigated when you returned to the Heavenly Court? Which priest didn't fall from his horse after you investigated them? "
Xie Lian coughed lightly and said, "That's different. It's not my problem. If he really didn't do that kind of thing, then I can naturally prove his innocence. "
Fu Yao was so angry that he laughed. He interrupted him and said, "Enough! It's not like other people don't know you have a personal grudge against him. You're helping him investigate? Then do you think he still has a chance to turn things around? If you want to take this opportunity to hit him while he's down and laugh at him, then just say it. Don't put on an act. "
Hearing this, Hua Cheng's face slightly sank. After a while, he smiled and said, "Forget it, brother. This person doesn't know what's good for him, so why do you need to talk nonsense with him? Some people are born to be ungrateful wolves. In their entire lives, they're the best at gauging the heart of a gentleman with their own mean measure. Who knows, maybe in the end, he really did something. If he doesn't believe you, then you're too lazy to care about him. Just let him torment himself. "
Fu Yao looked at him and said sarcastically, "'Child'?"
Hua Cheng replied with even more sarcasm, "'Little Heavenly Official'?"
Fu Yao's face slightly collapsed. Xie Lian tightly locked his eyes on him and warmly said, "About this, this is a different thing. Public and private matters must be separated. Whether or not I have a personal grudge against him is one thing, but whether or not he did something bad is another. Mu Qing, this person, although he is narrow-minded, narrow-minded, sensitive and suspicious, has a terrible personality, has a lot of petty thoughts, doesn't speak well, likes to nag, often offends people, hates a lot of people, doesn't have a single friend, and remembers small matters for a long time … "
"…"
In one breath, he said a whole bunch of things without changing his expression. Finally, Xie Lian concluded, "… But after all, I've known him since I was a teenager. He can still be considered to have a bottom line."
"…"
Xie Lian continued, "He might spit into the teacups of people he doesn't like, but he definitely wouldn't poison the water to harm people."
"…"
Hua Cheng indifferently said, "Is that so? That's still very disgusting. "
The veins on Fu Yao's forehead bulged. "No! He wouldn't even spit! "
Xie Lian said, "Then use laxatives."
Fu Yao seemed to be enduring something as he said, "You … must you use this kind of analogy to describe him? In the end, are you speaking for him or insulting him? "
Xie Lian said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't think of a more suitable analogy at the moment.
Fu Yao struggled a few times, but he couldn't break free. He vigilantly said, "Just now, were you secretly informing the people from the Heavenly Court?"
Xie Lian sincerely and sincerely said, "Not yet. We were just chatting for a bit. Don't worry, I won't harm your family's General. If he really doesn't want to go back, it would be better to find me and move together. That way, if he does anything along the way, there will be someone to testify for him. Otherwise, he won't be able to explain himself clearly and will only make things worse … "
At this moment, a burst of unbridled laughter suddenly came from behind the two. It was Qi Rong, who was staring at Lan Yi's face. He suddenly went crazy and said, "Hahahahaha, I was wondering who it was! Isn't this, isn't this Miss Jianlan? "
Lan Yi was originally holding Gu Zi and trying to cool him down. When she heard this, her shoulders trembled and her eyes widened. "Who are you? Why are you also … "
Qi Rong said, "How would I know? Nonsense! You almost had to call me cousin! What, so everyone has become a ghost? There are so many acquaintances here and there, this world is really small and lively, hee hee! "
Xie Lian frowned and said, "Qi Rong, are you crazy? What kind of person is Jianlan? "
Qi Rong said, "Hey, Cousin Crown Prince, I say, are you blind or are you pretending to be stupid? Look carefully at who this is, this is our Xian Le Country's number one noble young lady — Miss Jianlan! Her family is both an official and a merchant. In the past, who knows how glorious she was. Her looks are only so-so. Every time the Xian Le Country's Beautiful Talented Female Ranking is evaluated, she is so arrogant that her eyes grow on top of her head, looking down on everyone. She almost entered the palace to choose a concubine! "
"What?"
Xie Lian couldn't help but look at Lan Yi's face. That year, the King and Queen indeed had the intention to choose a concubine for him. They had invited a large group of carefully selected young ladies to the palace for a banquet, letting him see if there was anyone that caught his eye. But Xie Lian was wholeheartedly cultivating when he was young, so he just casually walked around the banquet. He basically didn't remember the faces and names of those girls, so how could he see anything?
Lan Chang looked at Fu Yao, but Fu Yao snorted and said, "This is not what my general said. This person is also a remnant of Xian Le, so he must have seen you in the past. "
Xie Lian looked at Hua Cheng again. He didn't look surprised, so he probably didn't just find out. Xie Lian turned to Lan Yi and muttered, "You really used to be …"
Lan Yi hurriedly covered her ears and said, "Don't say it! Don't say it! Don't call me by that name!!! I … changed my name a long time ago. "
Xie Lian was startled at first, then he let out a sigh.
The daughter of a noble in the past was now a prostitute in the ghost world. She changed her name, probably because she was afraid that her family would be shamed in the underworld and wouldn't admit that she was herself.
This girl used to be his believer, his people. How could he not sigh?
At this moment, he suddenly felt a warmth in his hand. Looking down, it was Hua Cheng. He didn't look at him, but held his hand.
Although he was now in the form of a child, his body temperature was cold. This hand was small and cold, but when it held him, it felt warm.
Qi Rong didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy in his heart. He clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect that the once unattainable Miss Jianlan has now become this old and ugly! I used to think that you didn't look like much, but now that I look at you, my eyes are really sharp. Sure enough, you're not much! By the way, I want to ask, whose bastard did you give birth to? "
These words were really tasteless. Jianlan's face turned slightly pale. Qi Rong continued, "It can't be my Crown Prince cousin's, right? No way, that cousin of mine is most likely impotent. That's why he pretends to be pure and uninterested in women all day long. Putting on an act, how could he give birth to a son? Oh my! How could I forget, after the fall of Xian Le, wasn't your Miss sold to that kind of place? He must be the son of Yong An's lowly commoners! "
Xie Lian couldn't bear it anymore and was just about to go up and tell him to shut up. However, Jianlan erupted faster than him and sent a slap flying over. "What kind of filthy words are you spouting?!"
Qi Rong's nose started to bleed from her slap. Widening his eyes, he said, "Are you evil or are you fierce? This kind of inferior thing actually dares to hit me, a Close Absolute?!"
Jianlan spat at his face. Grabbing his neck, she gave him two more slaps and said, "What bullshit Close Absolute! You really know how to paste gold on your face! What kind of plaything are you? Are you even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as the other three Absolute?! What do you have to show? Thick skin? I'm going to hit you! "
Her words poked at Qi Rong's scars. Qi Rong was also angry and spat. "Smelly woman, let go of your chicken claws! This daddy thinks it's dirty! Blergh, blergh, blergh!!! "
The two of them wrestled into a ball. However, it was only Jianlan who one-sidedly beat Qi Rong. Qi Rong was trapped by Ruo Xie and couldn't move a single step. He howled, "Xie Lian! Why aren't you trying to mediate at a time like this?! Where's your holy father's heart?! "
Xie Lian was currently holding onto Fu Yao with one hand while talking to Hua Cheng with his head lowered. It was as if he didn't hear Qi Rong's miserable cries. As Jianlan kicked Qi Rong, her eyes turned red. She fiercely said, "Even if this old lady wants to be defiled by a lowly commoner, I don't want to be touched by a maggot like you! You're a thing that nobody wants, trash! You're also worthy of calling others a lowly commoner! Who are you calling a lowly commoner?! "
Qi Rong was furious. "Nobody wants me? I'm trash? You're just a whore that's rotten to the bone. Do you think you're qualified to scold me like this? If I'm not a lowly commoner, how could I possibly fancy a piece of trash like you?! … Wait a moment!!! Put down that rock!!! "
Just as they were wrestling, a loud rumbling sound came from the sky. The few of them looked up at the same time. Fu Yao said, "Didn't you say that you didn't send a message and only chatted for a while?"
Hua Cheng slightly frowned and snorted. "You came uninvited."
A thunderclap exploded in the night sky. Everyone was blasted by this thunderclap until they closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, not far away, a black-robed Heavenly Official walked over with large strides with a longbow on his back. He said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xie Lian put down his sleeves and pushed Hua Cheng behind him without anyone noticing. He said, "Feng Xin! Why are you here? "
Feng Xin quickly walked over and said, "Just now, you suddenly stopped talking. I asked someone and found out that you were nearby through the fluctuations of magical power." After he finished speaking, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong? It's a mess. Did you encounter something? "
Xie Lian was about to answer when Feng Xin saw Fu Yao in his hands and Hua Cheng standing behind him.
This scene was simply beyond his imagination. He didn't seem to know who he should be more surprised about. Feng Xin said, "You …"
In the end, he still pointed at Hua Cheng and asked Xie Lian, "… What's wrong with this child?"
Xie Lian laughed dryly. "He's very cute, isn't he?"
Feng Xin widened his eyes and looked at Hua Cheng, whose expression didn't match Xie Lian's evaluation at all. He suspiciously asked, "… Cute? No, why do I think he looks like … "
Xie Lian calmly said, "Like my son, right?"
Feng Xin, "??? When did you give birth to a son? "
Xie Lian smiled and said, "Not yet. I mean, if I gave birth to a son, he would definitely be as cute, right? "
Hua Cheng held his hand and smiled. "That's right."
Feng Xin, "…"
Fu Yao, "…"
Xie Lian said, "Hahahaha … Eh? Miss Lan Yi, don't run! "
Feng Xin suddenly turned around and saw the back of a woman running away from Qi Rong's side. She was madly running away. Without hesitation, he nocked his bow and aimed at her leg.
Who knew, perhaps because it sensed that his mother was in danger, the Fetus Spirit Ball wrapped in yellow talisman paper in Fu Yao's hand started to vibrate. Suddenly, the yellow talisman paper exploded and it screeched as it rushed towards Feng Xin. Jian Lan seemed to have panicked just now, which was why she didn't know where she was going. Only when she heard this sound did she remember that her son was still in someone else's hands. She turned around and cried out involuntarily, "Wrong, wrong!"
This was the first time Xie Lian learned the name of that Fetus Spirit. Feng Xin's arrow changed direction and flew towards the snow-white Fetus Spirit. However, with a 'ka-da' sound, that Fetus Spirit flipped a few times in midair before jumping onto a nearby tree. It actually bit down on the arrow, allowing everyone to clearly see its current appearance.
Rather than calling it a fetus, it would be more accurate to call it a deformed little monster. Its skin was deathly white, as if it had been covered in a layer of powder. Its two eyes were strangely large and flashed with a strange light. The hair on its head was sparse and yellow, and its two rows of incomparably sharp fangs held Feng Xin's arrow in its mouth. Seeing him look over, it chewed at high speed with 'ge ge ge ge ge' sounds, turning the arrow into minced meat. Then, with a 'pei' sound, it spat out an arrowhead that shone with a cold light. The arrowhead was nailed to the side of Feng Xin's boots. It spat out its long and thin, dark red tongue, like a snake's, as if it was provoking him.
Without saying anything further, Feng Xin nocked another arrow and took aim at it. That Fetus Spirit was like a lizard as it climbed up and down the tree. It was extremely nimble and treacherous, so it was no wonder that Fu Yao couldn't catch it. Jian Lan anxiously said, "Don't fight with it, hurry and run!!!"
Only one's biological parents would be so concerned about this kind of monster that made people feel fear and disgust at a glance. After Feng Xin finished taking aim, he released the bowstring and an arrow flew out. One of that Fetus Spirit's short legs was nailed by the arrow. With a shriek, it couldn't crawl anymore. Jian Lan madly ran back and stretched out her hand to pull out the arrow. However, because her level was too low, she was bounced off the moment she touched the arrow shaft, even causing a string of sparks to explode. She retreated two steps, then persistently went up to pull it out, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
Feng Xin put away his bow and walked forward, saying, "Alright, let's go back. Don't give us more work … … Jian Lan?! "
When Jian Lan, who had just been bounced off, heard his voice, she shivered and stopped moving. She hurriedly turned her body around. However, Feng Xin turned her back around and said, "Jian Lan?"
"… …" Xie Lian had a bad premonition and asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"
Jian Lan lowered her head and said vaguely, "You've got the wrong person."
Feng Xin said, "What nonsense are you spouting? How could I have mistaken you for someone else? You're very different now, but how could I not recognize … … "
Speaking up to here, he was stuck. Because, previously, Jian Lan was dressed like an orchid, with heavy makeup and a body covered in dust, he indeed did not recognize her.
He couldn't be blamed. Feng Xin was still exactly the same as before, not the slightest bit changed, but Jian Lan's change was really too great.
Appearance, makeup, mannerisms, speech, temperament … … even if her biological parents were standing in front of her, they might not be able to recognize that this was their precious daughter.
Feng Xin said in a daze, "… … It's you. It's really you. That's right, it's you! … … I thought you got married and were living a good life. How did you … … how did you become like this … … "
Hearing up to here, Jian Lan suddenly turned around and fiercely pushed him, scolding, "F * * k your mother!"
Feng Xin was pushed back a few steps by her, unable to say anything. Jian Lan continued to ruthlessly push his chest, and at the same time, she scolded him, "I already said I'm not that whatever ghost, do you not understand human language? Are you crazy!? " And you even said 'it's you, it's really you, that's right, it's you' three times in a row! Can't you pretend not to recognize me? Can't you pretend not to recognize me?! Can't you do a good job, sir, and leave me some face? Okay?! "
Her current appearance was simply like a shrew in the marketplace, probably too different from what Feng Xin remembered. He stared at Jian Lan in a daze, unable to say anything. Xie Lian was the same. Qi Rong was the happiest, rolling on the ground in laughter, "Hahahahaha, my mother! Cousin Crown Prince! Just look at what's going on! You've been cuckolded by your most loyal dog!!! "
Jian Lan ruthlessly kicked Qi Rong a few times, saying, "Dog! Dog! I think you're the most like a dog! "
Strictly speaking, Jian Lan was once given high hopes by her family, but she had never officially entered the palace, much less become a concubine. Therefore, Qi Rong's gloating was not valid. However, Xie Lian really did not know what to say.
He had never thought that Feng Xin, who usually did not say a word to women unless it was necessary, would actually … …
At this moment, the two rows of sharp teeth of the fetus crushed the arrow that was nailed to it, and it broke free, pouncing towards Feng Xin. In a moment of carelessness, Feng Xin was bitten deeply on his right arm, causing blood to spurt out violently.
The right hand was Feng Xin's usual hand. For a martial god, frequently injuring his hand was not a good feeling. Feng Xin raised his left hand and was about to chop down, but Jian Lan said, "Don't hit him!"
Feng Xin forcefully stopped with his palm, and immediately, a terrifying idea sprouted in his mind.
