man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 285 "The Seamstress" (4800 words)
After saying goodbye to the emperor, Zheng Xiu returned to the study late at night, and hearing the laughter of several women not far away, Zheng Xiu silently took down a stack of files from the bookshelf——"Lu Zhen Wutong Shen Case".

Next to the file is the cracked statue of the five-handed god.

Now in the Disaster Prevention Bureau, Jiang Gaoyi screened out all important cases, packed them up and sent them to Chiwang Mansion, where they were neatly arranged in chronological order, all on the shelves.

rustling...

From time to time there was a clicking sound outside the window, and the north wind was howling outside the house.

Feng Bei stopped by halfway and saw that Zheng Xiu was sitting at his desk with a lamp on. Without disturbing him, he lit a pot of fire in the corner and left a gap in the window for ventilation, so he tiptoedly opened the door and left.

The candlelight on the table was flickering, and soon there was only the sound of Zheng Xiu flipping through the papers in the room.

Bai Qiuyue.

The former Shangxian Er followed the way of [Ferryman], was born a different person, and worked for Zhu.

Zheng Xiu wrote Bai Qiuyue's name in the file.

In the comment, Bai Qiuyue's life and death were uncertain, so there was a question mark.

"Bai Qiuyue."

Zheng Xiu recalled the scene where Bai Qiuyue's boat was destroyed and fell into the black water in the [Ferryman] Bund.

"He's still alive?"

Zheng Xiu frowned, thinking deeply.

He was curious why the emperor had to find Bai Qiuyue.

What is on Bai Qiuyue's body is worthy of Wei Yangzun's "must see a living person".

Thinking about it, it's nothing more than Bai Qiuyue's [Ferryman] thaumaturgy.

The emperor is actually coveting the "ferryman"?
Indeed, the [Ferryman] approach is very rare, let alone a natural alien.If Bai Qiuyue wasn't working for Zhu, even Zheng Xiu wanted to be under his command for his own use.

But now, Zheng Xiu himself has the ability to swim freely on the Bund, and can freely open the cracks. Now that Bai Qiuyue's ability is in front of him, it is not worth mentioning.

Wei Yangzun didn't know that Zheng Xiu could walk freely in the Bund, if he knew...

"Old Wei has a wide eye."

Zheng Xiu stretched out his fingers and rubbed the center of his brows, cursing.

This barren land in the north is sparsely populated, and it belongs to the territory of the Northern Man. The emperor actually knew that Bai Qiuyue was in the north. It can be seen that the old Wei must have kept an eye on the Northern Man.

Zheng Xiu never dared to underestimate Wei Yangzun, it was like this from the very beginning, so that no matter how much Wei Yangzun doted on the Zheng family, Zheng Xiu behaved cautiously in front of Wei Yangzun, as if walking on thin ice.

Zheng Xiu had a feeling that the aged Wei was like a lion waking up from a deep sleep, gradually showing its fangs.He is witnessing with his own eyes the ambition and ambition of Old Wei revealed little by little.

The candlelight on the table flickered, just like the uneasiness in Zheng Xiu's heart, flickering.Old Wei's "trust" did not make Zheng Xiu tearful, and a sense of anxiety welled up in his heart. He knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, the dispute between the two countries would completely erupt, and Dagan would fall into war again. .

Continuing to look through the file, Zheng Xiu's mind wandered, and he thought of another thing.

If Bai Qiuyue was working for Zhu, he was still alive, why would he appear in the northern wilderness far away from the land of Dagan?

"The Great Heavenly Witch...?"

An absurd but reasonable idea suddenly exploded in Zheng Xiu's heart. Could it be that the person who can make Wei Yangzun pay so much attention to him is also the incarnation of "Zhu"?

The so-called unknown can bring fear.

The more contact with Zhu, the less he can see through. Now Zheng Xiu feels like Zhu to everyone he sees.

"Fine, back to this matter."

Marriage, Great Heavenly Witch, Hundred Ghosts Marching.

All kinds of clues are entangled, all pointing to the same place.Zheng Xiu didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world, he would rather believe that there was an invisible hand manipulating everything in the dark, Zheng Xiu never believed in "fate".

What makes Zheng Xiu feel ironic is that in this way, Wei Chen's "fortune-telling by touching the bones" has come true unknowingly.He may have a catastrophe next, and this catastrophe is related to "North". If you want to avoid the catastrophe, you only need to avoid "North".

But Zheng Xiu couldn't avoid it.

Zheng Xiu put down the file slowly, but his heart calmed down.It is impossible for everything to go smoothly in life, and disasters are normal.The most fearful thing is the unknown. Once the "doom" is on the surface and in front of him, it makes Zheng Xiu feel that it is not so scary.

Midday on the moon.

The living room is brightly lit.

Erniang was warming up the fire in the living room, Yue Linglong sat quietly opposite Erniang, her body curled up slightly, holding a bowl of ginger soup in her hand, drinking the spicy soup into her stomach, dispelling the chill in Yue Linglong's body at the same time , and also took away the hesitation in Yue Linglong's heart.

"Still talking."

Zheng Xiu walked in with a smile, and Yue Linglong was so frightened that she suddenly sat up with her voice without warning, looking at the man who was about to become her husband uneasily.

"Sit down, why don't you sit down?"

In the middle of the night, Zheng Xiu was sitting in his seat. Erniang thought about Zheng Xiu's expression, she didn't look like he came here specially to bully the little girl. Yawning: "Ah, Erniang is no match for tiredness, so she went to bed first."

Er Niang walked away with heavy steps, walked around the corridor, sneaked back again, and listened secretly behind the screen.

Yue Linglong sat down again, pinching the bowl with her slender five fingers, her knuckles were extremely pale due to excessive force.

She lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly.

Zheng Xiu walked towards Yue Linglong, stood in front of Yue Linglong, and looked down at her condescendingly.

"Looked up."

Zheng Xiu's voice was calm, but with an undoubted strength.

Yue Linglong raised her head slowly, and that delicate face like a doll was displayed in front of Zheng Xiu.

This was the first time Zheng Xiu looked at Yue Linglong's face seriously, and he couldn't help but be amazed for a moment.Her skin is fairer than snow, and her facial features are exquisitely crafted, making it difficult to pick out faults.Those thin lips were slightly pale, which made people feel uneasy.Under the light, the skin on her face was crystal clear, and the veins of blood vessels could be faintly seen.

"Yue Linglong?"

Zheng Xiu reached out and pinched Yue Linglong's chin.

In an instant, Yue Linglong still hadn't answered.

A line of small characters of gnats appeared in front of Zheng Xiu.

[You found the post station, you can reach "Post Station · Corpse Maker · Bingwu · Yue Linglong". 】

[Station: Yue Linglong, I resist your entry. 】

Zheng Xiu's fingers pinching Yue Linglong's chin suddenly exerted force.

Severe pain hit, Yue Linglong's pupils shrank, but she stubbornly bit her lower lip, dripping red blood, and remained motionless.

After a while, Zheng Xiu loosened his strength and sighed softly, "Are you a stranger?"

Yue Linglong's black and white eyes fluctuated slightly. Although she was surprised how Zheng Xiu found out, she didn't show too strong emotions.Yue Linglong was silent for a moment, then she opened her mouth lightly, and a voice that seemed to have a soothing magic power came out of her mouth.

"Yue Linglong is the reincarnation of 'Yuebamo Buddha', which is what the Scarlet King said... an alien."

"Where's your birthmark?"

Zheng Xiu returned to his seat.

Yue Linglong remained silent.

Zheng Xiu smiled: "I don't dislike strangers approaching me, but you need to have something that can make this king's heart move. For example, obedience or something."

Yue Linglong closed her eyes, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly.She turned around slowly, and took off her clothes one by one in front of the Scarlet King.

On Yue Linglong's smooth back, there is a strange imprint.At first glance, it looks like a patch of suture marks, and the "stitched" openings are crooked to form some characters. If Zheng Xiu didn't know the law of birthmarks of aliens, he might not be able to recognize them at a glance.

In addition, [Stay Station] has been marked, and gradually the stitched imprint was filled into corresponding words by Zheng Xiunao.

It is "Bingwu".

Zheng Xiu added a touch to the "Gateway Map" he deduced.

The cold wind outside the house poured into the living room, and the naked Yue Linglong shivered from the cold, but she didn't feel shy or put on clothes at all.Even though she knew very well that Zheng Xiu's action meant "humiliating".

Yue Linglong remained motionless, showing her alien imprint.

Erniang who was hiding behind the screen was taken aback when she heard the sound of undressing in the hall, wondering why she was so fast.

Zheng Xiu said calmly, "Put it on."

Yue Linglong silently picked up the clothes on the ground, turned her back to Zheng Xiu, and put them back on one by one.

"Stay here tonight, Erniang will arrange a room for you."

Zheng Xiu stood up, looking like he was about to leave.

Yue Linglong wrapped her body tightly in the cloak again, she nodded calmly, and resignedly said, "Yes, Scarlet King."

"I heard that according to your customs, to get married, you need to go to your holy mountain, Baghmo Mountain, and bathe in the blessing of the Great Heavenly Witch?"

Yue Linglong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "It is...'Bagnamo Mountain', Red King." Yue Linglong carefully corrected Zheng Xiu's statement.

Zheng Xiu turned his head and cast his sharp eyes on Yue Linglong.This time, Yue Linglong looked at Zheng Xiu without evasiveness, her expression seemed to say: Mount Bagnamo is Mount Bagnamo, it cannot be changed.

"My king heard that Bagnamo Mountain is your holy mountain, which means 'endless life'."

Yue Linglong lowered her head again: "Yes, Scarlet King."

"The king will consider going there."

Yue Linglong clenched her fists and remained silent.

After walking a few steps, Zheng Xiu turned his back to Yue Linglong: "According to Dagan's custom, what should you call me now?"

Yue Linglong gritted her teeth.

After a while.

Yue Linglong knelt down slowly, with a sad face, as if resigned to her fate, she said two words in a blunt tone.

"Husband...jun."

[You have obtained permission to enter the station. 】

[You can enter the station to stay at any time. 】

……

【Station】Yue Linglong
【Affinity】disgust

【Access】Corpse seamer (Bingwu)
【Air Luck】Fortune and misfortune depend on each other

【Physical】Only able to understand people
……

In prison.

Zheng Xiu looked at the "Xinyi Station" that had just appeared.

In the miniature "Yuelinglong Station", there is a kind of "stubborn" expression fixed on the white face, which seems to give people a kind of resentment and helplessness of "sighing the injustice of heaven", which makes Zheng Xiu laugh dumbly.

Zheng Xiu looked at the word "disgust" on [Affinity] and confirmed his thoughts once again.Yue Linglong didn't come to marry her willingly, she had another purpose.This marriage, as Zheng Xiu speculated, is filled with the coldness and ruthlessness of the politics of the two countries.

The [Physique] of the post station is not big, and [Physique] refers to the size of the "humanoid ghost creature", and the size of the "humanoid ghost creature" reflects the strength of the "postmaster".

The larger the scale of the post station, the larger the range that Zheng Xiu can anchor when he uses [Mission Travel] to carry out long-distance incarnation teleportation.However, Yue Linglong's "skilled person" is very narrow at first glance, and when she wanders, she can almost only anchor within the range of Yue Linglong's naked eyes, which is not very practical.

"interesting."

Zheng Xiu's consciousness drifted out of his prison, and before he knew it, he had almost collected all the strangers from the "Xia Jiuliu".

A kind of pleasure like "stamp collection" arises spontaneously.

[Executioner], [Credit Knife Man], [Corpse Seammaker], [Orchid Flower], [Time Demon].

Among them, [Credit Knife Man] Sun Erming, after Zheng Xiula entered the Disaster Prevention Bureau, he didn't deliberately set out to ask him to promise to let him enter or something.One reason is that Zheng Xiu has no shortage of post stations to use now, and the other reason is that [Credit Knife Man] is a thaumaturgy that calculates fate and the future, which is mysterious and unpredictable. What was exposed.

The next morning.

A rush of hoofbeats broke the silence of the morning.

A general in soft armor rode a dark red horse, followed by more than a hundred soldiers, and stopped in front of the Red Palace.

When Zheng Xiu heard the news and went out, he saw that the general in soft armor was actually Huo Huo. He suddenly understood what he had said, and said with a wry smile, "So urgent?"

"The marriage between the two countries is related to the etiquette and face of the two countries. It must not be neglected, and the matter should not be delayed."

Huo Huo got off his horse, pulled the soft armor that fit him well, but made him feel uncomfortable, showing dissatisfaction on his face.

He had retired for many years, but this time he was going to go into battle again, tsk, taking advantage of the emperor's absence, Huo Huo wrote all the unhappiness in his heart on his face.

Huo Huo approached the Red King and lowered his voice: "Soldiers are precious and fast."

Zheng Xiu inadvertently glanced into the mansion, nodded: "General Huo,"

The sound of "General Huo" made Huo Huo understand that Zheng Xiu had understood the importance of it, and Huo Huo nodded in satisfaction.

Zheng Xiu continued: "I'm very curious, this trip is in such a hurry, the emperor..."

"Shh!"

Huo Huo interrupted Zheng Xiu's words, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what the Majesty told you is what you can know. If the Majesty did not tell the Wang Ye, Huo may not know."

Zheng Xiu frowned and said nothing.

Huo Huo seemed to have seen through Zheng Xiu's thoughts, and laughed loudly: "Don't worry about the Red King. The soldiers accompanying him this time are Huo's confidantes. No matter what happens, they will definitely protect the Red King. Besides, the Emperor also said Alright, King Chi can bring a few cronies along, just in case."

Zheng Xiu was still hesitant to use his avatar to go out, but so many eyes were staring at him, completely cutting off Zheng Xiu's thoughts.But now that Zheng Xiu has many methods, he is not afraid of anything.

Nodding his head and re-entering the house, Zheng Xiu whistled a few times, set it up, and told Erniang that he was going out for a while, so don't worry.

Erniang didn't expect things to come in such a hurry, she left as soon as she said, and she couldn't even make time for the reunion banquet.

After a while, several people walked out from the Red Palace.

Huo Huo, who was bored and guarded at the door, couldn't help straightening his back, shrinking his pupils, and showing an intriguing smile when he saw people.

Beside Zheng Xiu, Feng Bei was dressed in black, with long hair tied up in a ponytail, a pair of black gloves with a menacing look, and those black eyes were not angry but heroic.

Fengbei's reputation is very resounding in a sense.Seeing that Zheng Xiu brought Feng Bei with him this time, Huo Huo grinned, unexpectedly but also secretly taking it for granted.

It seems that this kid is thinking about something, guessing something.

The monk looked embarrassed, touched his bald head, and kept facing Huo Huo with a submissive look: "Little monk Huahua, please take care of me!"

Huo Huo looked at the easy-going monk, he didn't look like a master, and he didn't have any style on his body. For a while, he didn't know why King Chi was wearing this bald head.

A figure fell from the wall.

Qing Shisan was carrying a big package, and the cigarette rod was pinned to his waist: "Phew, it's finally packed."

Qing Shisan, the former knife catcher, Sikong chased his life.

Huo Huo nodded secretly.

"Sorry, I'm sorry! I'm late! That bitch at home is so entangled..."

A tall figure trotted all the way from the corner of the street, and it was Pei Gaoya who hadn't seen him for a long time.After running a few steps, a middle-aged woman caught up crying, hugged Pei Gaoya tightly in the street, kissed goodbye with expression, and staged a sweet and greasy "Ten Miles of Love" in front of a group of soldiers. In the scene of "Send", the soldiers looked away vigorously, giggling under their helmets.

"Meow!"

A meow interrupted everyone's distracting thoughts, a black figure was as fast as lightning, and there was an orange cat wearing a cute miniature red cloud clothes, carrying a heavy rucksack on its back, and the smell of fried fish cakes came from inside .

"Crack!"

The orange cat touched its back, avoiding the sight of humans, took out a piece of fried fish cake, put it in its mouth and bit it, it was crisp and loud.

"Save it, it will be gone after eating!"

Zheng Xiu warned.

The orange cat "as if" understood the master's words, wiped the half-eaten fried fish cake on its belly, and hid it again.

"This……"

If Fengbei's appearance was taken for granted, the next monk, Qing Shisan, Pei Gaoya, and finally a cat.The original serious painting style was completely destroyed in an instant.

The sunlight gradually became dazzling, and Yue Linglong was wrapped in a cloak, hiding in the shadows, as if avoiding the winter sun.

"Husband."

Unafraid of other people's strange gazes, Yue Linglong bowed to Zheng Xiuying, with her ring finger bent to her palm, her right hand pressed against her chest, and her left hand kept to one side, making a strange etiquette gesture.

"amazing."

After clicking his tongue for a moment, Huo Huo was amazed that he had trained the princess of the Northern Kingdom. She deserved to be the... Scarlet King.

A group of people rode out of the city, leaving a mess of horseshoe marks in the snow.

About to leave the city, Zheng Xiu looked back, as if he wanted to imprint this city in his memory.

　Ask for a monthly pass!
