man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 234 "The Usurper" (4500 words)
The meme of "a pair of maids warming the bed in the Western Regions" seems to have spread among the fraternities.

Zheng Xiu asked Qingpi to pay attention to Wei Chen these days.

Maybe in Qingpi's description of Wei Chen, there is "the man who dared to send a pair of maids to test the prince".

Which prince can't stand such a test?

When Zheng Xiu couldn't laugh or cry.

A calm shout came from outside:

"It's up to people to plan things, success or failure depends on fate, and you can only take a penny!"

A blind man stood in front of the prince's carriage.

He is leaning on a crutch in his right hand, and holding a dilapidated birdcage in his left hand. Inside lies a crow with dull fur and no luster. The crow is lifeless and shakes its eyelids from time to time, as if to prove that it is still alive in this way. .

"My lord, this guy is very courageous. He pretended to meet him by chance even though he knew he was in the car. Shall we..." The brother in charge of driving laughed, but Zheng Xiu could hear a little nervousness in his hoarse voice.

Zheng Xiu stretched out his hand to open a gap beside the curtain with great interest, looked outside, and said softly, "No need."

The coachman was silent for a while, then smiled at the blind man standing in front of the carriage, "Do you know how to tell fortunes by touching bones?"

The burning scar on the blind Chen Wei's face made the upper half of his face look extremely hideous, but when he heard the words, he showed a gentle and calm smile: "I know a little bit."

The coachman asked, "Are you sure?"

Blind Chen Wei shook his head: "It varies from person to person."

The coachman laughed dryly: "So, it's up to you whether it's accurate or not?"

The blind Chen Wei raised his head, his pale pupils seemed to be able to see things, and he turned towards the carriage.

Zheng Xiu looked at the blind man through the gap in the curtain.

Blind Chen Wei said with a smile: "The person who credits the knife calculates the future, and I calculate the present and the past. Whether it is accurate or not, the customer knows it well. I said it, but it doesn't count. That's why I say 'it varies from person to person' .”

The true identity of the blind Chen Wei Zheng Xiu is clear in his heart, it is another person who survived from Baili Village 20 years ago: Wei Chen.

The real identity is the emperor's illegitimate son.

20 years ago, guards with swords commanded the treasure Wang Cangyun, took Wei Chen out of the imperial city, and "accidentally" fell into the ghosts of Baili Village.

After Zheng Xiu was imprisoned, as "Zheng Shan", he intervened in the "past" 20 years ago, and only then did the subsequent stories come into being.

If the "White Carp Village" 20 years ago was the beginning and the "cause" of everything, then Wei Chen who stopped in front of the carriage is another "cause" that is still alive in the world besides Fengbei.

When Zheng Xiu was awarded the title of "Red King", Wei Chen once used the name "Blind Chen Wei" and said that he wanted to give "a pair of maidservants", but in fact he gave a bad check and gave it, but not all of it.

It seems to be throwing stones to ask for directions, to see Chi Wang's reaction.

Zheng Xiu deliberately left him alone, ignored him, and was busy with other things.

Now that it had been hanging out for some time, Zheng Xiu was surprised but not surprised that the blind Chen Wei stopped in front of his carriage in this way.

It's no surprise that Zheng Xiu is hanging out like that, sooner or later the other party will not be able to bear it, and there will always be some movement.Speaking of accidents, Zheng Xiu didn't expect the blind Chen Weixuan's timing to be subtle, just a few days before he planned to completely reorganize "Yeweiyang".

"Let him come up."

The prince's voice sounded cold and seemed a little unhappy.

The coachman understood and suddenly realized.The blind man didn't deliver the gift.

Before the master became a prince, he hated the profiteering behavior of writing bad checks the most.

"Get in the car and touch it for our prince."

The coachman smiled, and got off the car, please get on the blind man.

"Thank you, Lord."

Chen Wei still had the same indifferent expression on his face, and his calm and unhurried demeanor made the people watching around him feel something was wrong.

The carriage continued on.

Inside the carriage, Zheng Xiu carefully looked at the scorched face of the blind Chen Wei.

For a while, neither the blind Chen Wei nor Zheng Xiu spoke.

They seemed to be waiting for each other to speak.

After a while the carriage returned to the Red Prince's Mansion, the coachman blew a few whistles, suddenly dozens of shadows fell on the wall one after another, and assassins with hoods on and hidden swords surrounded the carriage.

Chen Wei heard the commotion outside, and sighed softly: "My lord treats guests so grandly, I am flattered."

"It should be." Zheng Xiu smiled and revealed the other party's identity: "After all, he is the landlord of the incomplete building."

Chen Wei opened his mouth and laughed dumbly. After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that my identity is not a secret in the eyes of the prince. It is indeed the Zheng family."

Zheng Xiu stepped into the palace first.

"Please."

Qing Shisan smiled and invited the blind man in.

It’s different in the past.

In the past, when Zheng Zhai invited guests to enter, he would say a few polite words such as "Welcome to the humble house" and "Your arrival makes the humble house flourish".But where is it now?It is the Red Palace.Qing Shisan being able to say the word "please" is already a great shame to the blind man. No matter how many people want to enter the Red Palace as a guest now, they can't enter.

Nowadays, if you want to be a diner of the Red King, you have to have a certain status.It's not that Zheng Xiu likes to carry it, but he has to.Once this airs are not put in order, everyone will invite everyone to the Red Palace, and it will cause a disaster in the court that can affect the stability of the court.

Zheng Xiu ordered with a whistle: Please Jiang Gaoyi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, come to the mansion to have a speech.

Someone is going to do it right away.

After Zheng Xiu became a prince, the Zheng family is still like a machine that runs efficiently.

It didn't take long for Jiang Gaoyi to be invited into the Red Palace with a confused face.

Jiang Gaoyi didn't hide anything when he entered the prince's mansion, he wished the whole world would know, so he invited Mrs. Zheng's traveller, and dragged him to come.In front of the Red King's Mansion, Jiang Gaoyi wore a formal hat and tidied up for a while before carefully entering.

It wasn't all luck that Jiang Gaoyi was able to get promoted so quickly in a short period of time.He and Zheng Xiu are close friends, but the prince is the prince, and Jiang Gaoyi clearly distinguishes between public and private, and handles it thoroughly.

As soon as he entered the living room, Jiang Gaoyi found a blind man who looked like a street performer sitting in the living room. The tragedy on the blind man's face made Jiang Gaoyi feel a little bit puzzled, but he quickly turned his head and bowed:

"Chenjiang Gaoyi, pay homage to the prince."

"Your Majesty Jiang, you don't need to be too polite. You and I got to know each other for a while, and we can just talk about it as an old friend in private."

"That's impossible! The Red King has a noble status, and Jiang doesn't dare to surpass him." Jiang Gaoyi took a look at the blind man and refused firmly.

The refusal was a refusal, but he secretly changed his self-proclaimed "Chen" to "Jiang".

"Master Jiang, please sit down."

Zheng Xiu motioned Jiang Gaoyi to sit aside.

"The Red King has never treated you as an outsider. You don't have to be cautious in the Red King's mansion, Mr. Jiang." Qing Shisan came to the side without a sound, and filled Jiang Gaoyi with tea, thick white smoke wafted from the pipe.The smoke enveloped Qing Shisan and Jiang Gaoyi in it.

Qing Shisan suddenly leaned over to Jiang Gaoyi's ear and said in a low voice, "Master Jiang, the lord has invited you here, do you understand what the lord thinks?"

Sitting in the seat, Zheng Xiu and the blind Chen Wei started talking.

But Jiang Gaoyi, who was shrouded in smoke, could only hear a vague "buzzing" sound. Jiang Gaoyi couldn't hear what they were saying.After the shock in his heart, Jiang Gaoyi understood that the smoke was causing trouble, and immediately understood what the prince meant, and nodded quickly: "Jiang knows."

"Master Lao Jiang."

Qing Shisan continued to smoke, and Jiang Gaoyi also let the smoke cover him. He began to hold his breath, staring at Chen Wei's face.

The sound of Zheng Xiu's conversation with the blind Chen Wei was completely "isolated" by the smoke.

Looking at it, Jiang Gaoyi was in a trance for a while, his eyes were moist, and he reached out to wipe the mist from his dim old eyes.

Qing Shisan looked at Jiang Gaoyi's reaction in bewilderment, thinking that Jiang Gaoyi was watching... crying?
What a strange way.

At this time, the two chatting stopped talking, and the blind Chen Wei bowed his head in silence, as if he was in deep thought. After a while, he took two steps forward, and in front of Zheng Xiu, he stretched out his hand and tore off one sleeve.Let Zheng Xiu look at the inside of his arm.

An orange cat jumped in from the window, squatted on the head of the Red King, looked at the blind Wei Chen curiously, tilted his head, and there was a human-like "wonder" expression on that furry cat face.

Comforting the orange cat, Zheng Xiu looked surprised when he saw the twisted word "Bingxu" on the inside of Wei Chen's arm. He suddenly remembered the world in the painting. 200 years ago, there was a silent swordsman named Cheng Xiao who killed the After the emperor, these two words also appeared on his face.

Blind Chen Wei bowed his hands to Zheng Xiu and left the Red Palace.

After the blind Chen Wei left, Qing Shisan waved his hand to disperse the smoke.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Zheng Xiu smiled a little more, and asked, "I am looking at Mr. Jiang with a turbulent expression, and seems to have realized something. I don't know what clues Mr. Jiang can see on this person's face?"

Mr. Jiang cupped his hands, apologetic: "The prince may have misunderstood. The thaumaturgy that Jiang has learned in the doorway is not the art of reading minds in the true sense, but a kind of observation of words and emotions, which is closer to 'love'."

"Affection?"

"Emotions, anger, sorrow, joy and other subtle expressions that are beyond words."

Zheng Xiu nodded.

Jiang Gaoyi sighed softly, and continued: "Jiang certainly wouldn't know what the prince talked with this person, but according to what Jiang saw, this person values ​​love and righteousness, and he is a filial son."

"A filial son?" Zheng Xiu's expression was strange: "Are you sure?"

"Jiang is very sure. His face is covered with the word 'missing relatives'. If Jiang is not mistaken, he seems to miss his dead relatives very much, and he will not hesitate to pay any price for it." Jiang Gaoyi was a little displeased. She smiled sheepishly: "This person's 'missing relatives' made Jiang feel very touched, and he felt the same way. He couldn't help but shed tears, which made the prince laugh."

missing relatives?dead relatives?

Zheng Xiu thought it was unreasonable, he was the illegitimate son of Old Wei, there were many strange things about him being hunted down back then, but as the blood of the royal family, he was living among the people and ended up in such a miserable state, Wei Chen didn’t hate Old Wei, it’s not bad, what’s the matter? Strong love for family members.

After a while, Zheng Xiu thought about it, and remembered a passage he had said in Chu Susu's mouth when he was one of the top ten in the incomplete building.

"It's Treasure King Cangyun!"

Now that Zheng Xiu has completely confirmed Wei Chen's thoughts, remembering the words that appeared in front of his eyes when he was in contact with Wei Chen just now, he hurriedly bid farewell to Jiang Gaoyi, let Qing Shisan guard his house, and then entered the dungeon, into the prison of his heart.

[You found the station, "Stay usurper Bingxu Weichen". 】

[You have not obtained permission to enter the station. 】

There is a new "post" on the game table.

A station called "The Usurper".

"The location is about above the upper, middle and lower nine streams."

Zheng Xiu had deduced the "Gateway Map" in Fengbei not long ago, and based on the arrangement of the positions, he roughly deduced the position of the "usurper".

There are still many mysteries about Wei Chen's technique.

In the Xiangu Temple, Wei Chen once caused the deaf-mute and lame trio to explode in the air. They once said that this is a technique called "firework".It's just that "usurper" is understood in a literal sense, which makes it easier for Zheng Xiu to think of the meaning of "seeking to usurp the throne", which is incompatible with the "firework" thaumaturgy that makes living people explode in the air.

Zheng Xiu is still considering Wei Chen's proposal and has not made a decision for a while.After having a secret conversation with the blind Wei Chen, Zheng Xiu practiced sword during the day and soaked in poison at night, so two days passed.

A batch of custom-made bronze mirrors was finally completed and delivered to Chiwang Mansion from Jixiang Workshop.

Zheng Xiu placed the batch of bronze mirrors in the study room. Zheng Xiu closed the door tightly, and there was a sound of bones and joints rubbing against his right arm. [Painter] The strange thing drilled out from under Zheng Xiu's flesh, protruding from the flesh, forming a shape Chic brushes.

Holding the paintbrush for a long time, Zheng Xiu personally added water and ground the ink, and added his own blood to the ink.

After staying up all night like this, Zheng Xiu knocked on Fengbei's door with a small bronze mirror in the early morning of the next day.

"it's me."

Zheng Xiu couldn't avoid Fengbei's misunderstanding, so he said in advance before the door opened.

The door opened a gap, and Feng Bei, who hadn't washed yet, couldn't hide her beauty, her face squeezed out of the door and just about to say something, an orange cat jumped on Feng Bei's head, squinting at Zheng Xiu.

When Zheng Xiu saw that the orange cat was hiding in Fengbei's room, he couldn't help laughing and cursing: "No wonder I didn't look at you in your emperor's den, so you've been living here for the past few days. Regardless of right or wrong, you are a mother-in-law. Meow took my place, don't you feel any guilt?"

"Meow!"

[I want you to take care of it! 】

The orange cat folded its hands on its chest, turned its head away, and blew its beard angrily, as if angry because Zheng Xiu scolded it for no reason.

This cat... Tsundere?
Zheng Xiu silently put an even weirder label on the strange creature from Ever Darkness, and pushed the door open.

Some time ago, the wall smashed by the "bad boy" has been repaired by the craftsmen of Jixiang Workshop working overtime, and there is no trace of damage.Zheng Xiu entered the room, looked left and right, and sat on the bed carelessly.

A corner of the clothes that were glowing red was exposed under the quilt. With a blushing face, Feng Bei stuffed the mysterious clothes that Zheng Xiu was sitting on under the quilt into the quilt, pretending to be calm: "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Well, big red ones.

Zheng Xiu has sharp eyes and knows that Fengbei's dressing habits are exactly the same as her in Gu Zhong, plain outside and red inside.After secretly nodding, Zheng Xiu calmly took out a small bronze mirror and handed it to Feng Bei: "For you."

The bronze mirror is narrow and long, with a small hole drilled at the top, which can be worn as a jade pendant on the waist or hidden in the bosom after being threaded.Feng Bei knew Zheng Xiu well, knew that he always liked to think of novel ways to make her happy, in his words, "increasing the joy of the boudoir", Feng Bei took the small bronze mirror and looked at it curiously.On the back of the bronze mirror, a vivid phoenix is ​​carved with the "yin carving" technique. The head of the phoenix faces north and spreads its wings.

The lines of "Yin Ke" were dark red, Feng Bei's nose fluttered, and she smelled a familiar smell.

"Your blood?" Feng Bei frowned, feeling distressed secretly: "Didn't you say that you don't want to draw anymore?"

"Hey! On a whim!" Zheng Xiu took out the other side as if by magic.

The shape is a pair with the one in Feng Bei's hand, the difference is that there is a dragon drawn on the back of Zheng Xiu's bronze mirror.There are circles of swaying sword shadows engraved around the dragon... This is a very sword-like dragon.

Ignoring the mirror on the front, these are clearly a pair of "dragon and phoenix pendants". Feng Bei spat secretly in his heart, but there was a bit of concern on his face: "Aren't you afraid of committing a taboo?"

"Never mind him, as long as he can't see it." Zheng Xiu thought to himself that he didn't want to be an emperor, and that he drew a dragon on his "mirror jade" was just for auspiciousness and to make a pair.

"That's right." When Feng Bei heard this, since Zheng Xiu wasn't worried, she wasn't worried either.In her view, there are only "people who can be killed" and "people who can't be killed" in the world. Obviously, the status of emperor cannot be compared with "people who can't be killed" like Zheng Xiu.

"I'll show you something fun."

Zheng Xiu winked at Fengbei, walked outside, and closed the door tightly.He drew the word "Phoenix Pillar" on the mirror.

In the room, Feng Bei stared dumbfounded at the glaring red light flashing on her own mirror, and somehow made a "beep beep" sound in her head.

Two words in red appeared on the mirror: Scarlet King.

The writing on the mirror changed again, swimming like ants:

[The Red King calls, do you want to meet? 】

【See? 】

【See? 】

There is no "see" option here.

Feng Bei angrily tapped on the mirror.

In the next second, Zheng Xiu's handsome face appeared in the mirror.
