Lu Chaofeng was really shocked. Hearing what Lan Yudie said, her eldest brother is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Then who is she? Does the "Third Brother" she keeps calling mean the Third Prince?

When I, Lu Chaofeng, had brothers and sisters, I was indeed the third in age, just like "Chaofeng" was the third among the nine sons of the Dragon. But when did I become the prince? Why didn't I know?

!

Lu Chaofeng looked at Lan Yudie who was still showing off her long legs. This little girl had no reason to lie to him. If she was telling the truth, then many doubts would be cleared up.

First of all, it is the matter between the prince and the third prince, Lu Chaofeng. For a young prince like Pingjiang Hou, if he is under the prince's command, he will be an ordinary soldier. But her daughter and the third prince are in love.

, if the third prince succeeds to the throne in the future, it is very likely that their family will become the head of the country.

And it can also be seen that the original owner of Lu Chaofeng's body has extraordinary means. The battle to seize the rightful son is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces. Pingjiang Hou dares to bet on the third prince, which means that in terms of ability, the third prince should

He is stronger than the prince, otherwise he would not be able to compete with the prince, the eldest son, for the throne.

Turning our attention back to Pingjiang Hou, if Lu Chaofeng was the third prince, he would never make this matter public. Instead, he would let Pingjiang Hou stay with the prince and help Lu Chaofeng steal some

Secondly, they can secretly try to instigate some forces on the prince's side. Therefore, for Lu Chaofeng, the third prince, the advantages of Pingjiang Hou temporarily staying with the prince's side outweigh the disadvantages.

But here comes the problem. There is no airtight wall in the world. If the prince knew that Pingjiang Hou’s daughter had a close relationship with his imperial brother, would he still believe Pingjiang Hou? He might even use Pingjiang Hou to threaten Lan Yudie.

!For example, threatening Lan Yudie to poison Lu Chaofeng, otherwise he would kill Pingjiang Hou’s whole family.

Therefore, for Lu Chaofeng and Jiang Hou, Lan Yudie's existence has become a hot potato. In other words, Lan Yudie must "die" in order for the plan to proceed smoothly.

However, it was absolutely impossible for Marquis Pingjiang to let his daughter die, and it was even less possible for the third prince to let his lover die, so there was the matter of Lan Yudie's "death" and subsequent "ghost marriage".

Lan Yudie died young? Don’t be ridiculous, it was a play put on by the third prince, Ping Jianghou, including the underworld marriage later. Lan Yudie was not dead at all, but was temporarily hidden, and Ping Jianghou was so loud.

They carry out "ghost marriage" just to make other people believe this.

Of course, Lu Chaofeng was not just guessing, because only if the hypothesis "Lan Yudie is not dead" is established, can the various arrangements in Lan Yudie's boudoir be explained clearly. Although many decorations have become white, there have been no other major changes.

, not to mention the elegiac couplets and white silk, which are obviously for convenience of arrangement and living. Although the whole room looks a bit like mourning, it is actually just equivalent to changing the furniture of a different color.

Because Pingjiang Marquis did not allow his daughter to have a funeral before she died, the third prince would not allow his lover to be subjected to such naked humiliation. Therefore, he chose such a compromise of "it looks like it, but it is not"

Method.

So, who is the person who holds the ghost marriage?

The answer is already obvious, that is, the little shepherd boy and the little shepherd boy's lover who were pushed into the water by people sent by Pingjiang Marquis. They are just the victims of this plan.

Why did the little shepherd boy turn into a ghost after his death and make Pingjiang Marquis and his family pay for their lives? Because he did not die in a daze like his lover. He knew this series of plans, so he had such great resentment in his heart, and finally formed such a

Powerful ghost!

What's wrong with you and your lover? But for no reason, you became the victim of the prince's struggle for the right to inherit the throne! This is called a fight between gods and mortals.

Lu Chaofeng was too lazy to talk about the right and wrong of this. Different people have different positions, and there is no right or wrong that can withstand the temptation of selfish thoughts.

There is a distinction between high and low in life. If there is no distinction between high and low, then why do people work hard?

How about climbing up? In the eyes of those in high positions, the vision and knowledge of the people at the bottom may not be much better than that of ants.

If one day an ant cultivates into a demon and comes to take revenge on you, saying that you killed his whole family, will you feel unjust before you die in its hands? Because in your heart, you have not treated the people on the ground

Ants are serious...

"Third brother, what are you thinking about?" Lu Chaofeng sat beside the bed and felt two jade lotus-like arms wrapped around his neck, and two fleshy things sticking to his back.

"It's okay, Xiaodie, thank you!" Lu Chaofeng smiled very gently, an expression that he could not express before.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"It's over, Xiaodie, Chaofeng is going to vent your anger right now." Lu Chaofeng stood up and looked at the dressing table opposite the bed. Hanging on it was a bright bronze mirror. Lu Chaofeng looked at that

A strange smile appeared on the bronze mirror.

He recalled the academy prompt he heard when he entered the game. Of course, it doesn't matter if he forgets it, he can still read it anyway.

The bronze chicken bleeds, and the paper man opens his eyes. Every midnight, there is always a shrill flute sound, which is the ditty played by the shepherd boy when he was grazing, but it is the other way around.

The bronze chicken bleeds. How can a bronze chicken bleed? What bleeds is the "chicken" reflected in the bronze mirror, and it is not a real chicken, but Lan Yudie's body, embroidered with a golden pheasant. However,

Clothing does not bleed, so what does it bleed?

"Open!" Lu Chaofeng stretched out his finger and pointed it at the center of the bronze mirror. The surface of the mirror rippled like water, causing all the scenes around Lu Chaofeng to shatter like glass.

Lu Chaofeng opened his eyes. He was still in the boudoir under the moonlight, with the cold girl in his arms, but the girl had slowly taken off her cheongsam, leaving only a white golden pheasant pattern on her body.

Obscene clothes.

Lan Yudie passed away after all, but perhaps a force in the dark allowed her body to retain a remaining memory, staying here, waiting for the arrival of her sweetheart.

It was supposed to be a very poignant story, but what Lu Chaofeng didn't understand was why this story was always interspersed with scenes of two people in bed. Isn't this part not poignant at all?

Lu Chaofeng looked at the moonlight outside the window, picked up Lan Yudie's body by the waist, and made the girl sit on the edge of the bed, just like a living lady.

The golden pheasant on the robe is reflected in the center of the bronze mirror, seeming to be dyed with a dark golden halo.

Lu Chaofeng bit the middle finger of his left hand, flicked it, and a wisp of blood splashed on the white clothes. The drop of blood spread on the clothes, like a drop of red ink dripping into a clear pond.

When the blood spread to the golden pheasant's body, the blood-colored light shone brightly on the bronze mirror. A blood-colored light beam as thick as an arm pierced the shackles of the moonlight and shined on a large bell in the courtyard.

It was a large brass bell, engraved with densely packed runes. Lu Chaofeng walked over and took a closer look. There were some Taoist runes on the big bell, which he did not recognize.

"The copper chicken bleeds, the paper man opens his eyes..." Xiao Feng recalled the clues he knew. He had also seen the paper man himself. It was on the left where the shepherd boy was imprisoned. When he walked in, the two rows of paper men there seemed like

Everyone is staring at him.

But Lu Chaofeng was a little unsure. Is this so-called "paper man" a man with paper sticks? Or a man drawn on paper?

Lu Chaofeng still remembered that he had seen a strange painting of an auspicious doll in the main hall. The doll's eyes had been gouged out. It was not a piece of paper, but the painting was an auspicious doll with its eyes gouged out.

.

"Eyes? Open your eyes... I understand!" Lu Chaofeng stroked his chin, turned around and found the drawing paper in the main hall, and hung it outside the door, so that the strange doll faced the big clock.

Then, Lu Chaofeng kicked open the door of the left wing room, and as expected, he was hit by two rows of paper.

Found a paper-cut figure of a lucky doll.

Lu Chaofeng stretched out his fingers and dug out the paper-stuck man's eyes. When blood flowed out, bursts of wailing could be heard from the paper-stuck man's body.

Chaofeng looked at the two bloody eyeballs in his hand. These things were indeed made of paper, but why were they bleeding? Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, right?

Ignoring these minor problems, Lu Chaofeng returned to the door of the main hall and pressed the eyeballs in his hands back into the eye sockets of the auspicious doll. The paper-pierced eyeballs disappeared the moment they touched the painting, but Lu Chaofeng

After moving his hand away, the lucky doll had returned to its normal appearance, with bright eyes.

But Xiaofeng had a strange feeling again. This doll was looking at him.

"The copper chicken bleeds, the paper man opens his eyes, and finally..." Lu Chaofeng stood in the courtyard and punched the big clock.

"Dong... buzz buzz..."

The dull bell rang, and the night seemed to tremble a little.

"Woo...Woo..." After the bell rang, waves of melodious flutes sounded. Lu Chaofeng couldn't recognize the tune, but he felt inexplicably frightened in his heart.

Maybe this was originally supposed to be a cheerful little song, but when played upside down, it turned into this ghostly wail.

A shadowy figure dressed as a shepherd boy, but with a face as ferocious as a demon floated up from the roof of the left wing. Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the courtyard, paper money on the ground flew all over the sky, and even the noise of the trees turned into a frightening whimpering sound.

.

Lu Chaofeng stood in the courtyard, looking at the ghost of the shepherd boy in the sky. This thing was not a man-made trap, but a real evil ghost.

"Boom!" Lu Chaofeng rang the big bell again. Now that the matter has come to this, there is no turning back.

Lu Chaofeng didn't understand music, and he didn't know how to whistle, but he could still easily hear the accents in the tunes and replace them with bells. In turn, the rhythm of the bells could break the situation.

"Long...short...long...short...short..." Lu Chaofeng memorized the sound of the shepherd boy's flute while silently reciting it in his heart. Finally, after the shepherd boy's last note fell, Lu Chaofeng smoothed it out.

The rhythm of this tune.

"Roar!" Another gust of dark wind blew, making Lu Chaofeng's brain feel sleepy. The ghost of the shepherd boy in mid-air was already swooping down towards Lu Chaofeng.

"Boom..." Lu Chaofeng punched the big clock again. This was still a fragile body after all, and his right fist was already dripping with blood.

"The last time..." Lu Chaofeng punched down. The ghost of the shepherd boy had already swooped in front of him, but was trapped by the golden energy chains extending from the big bell and could not move. In the end, the ghost was trapped in these energy chains.

Under the chains, they turned into flying ash and completely dissipated.

At this time, the big bell next to Lu Chaofeng was broken into pieces, and a purple teleportation array appeared at the original location of the big clock.

[Tip: Student 19331 has obtained "Amethyst"

"This mission is really troublesome." Lu Chaofeng looked at an amethyst the size of a quail egg that suddenly appeared in his storage space and said with a smile.

"Are you leaving?" Lu Chaofeng let out a long breath. He shouldn't have left anything behind...

"Third brother." A brisk voice sounded behind Lu Chaofeng, which made Lu Chaofeng raise his eyebrows. Lan Yudie's voice didn't ring directly in his ears, and he was a little uncomfortable.

Lu Chaofeng looked back and saw the ghost of Lan Yudie floating in the air, just like what Lu Chaofeng had seen in that memory.

"Thank you, Third Brother, Xiaodie is finally free." Lan Yudie was spinning happily in the air, with a smile on her face, but tears were flowing from the corners of her eyes.
