"Would you like to ask about your father's whereabouts?"
The empress didn't ask, but Yu Wenkai guessed it.
The empress nodded slightly, her sad expression difficult to conceal.
After the emperor spirit was captured by the ghost fetus, he and Long Teng were brought back to Yuecheng to awaken the martial saint and the ghost girl.
The empress tried every means, but could not save her.
Yu Wenkai invaded Yuecheng, and the empress wanted to ask if she had seen Emperor Ling's body.
She didn't expect the emperor's spirit to be alive, she just wanted to find his body and return his soul to his hometown.
Before setting off, Long Chen told Yu Wenkai to see if he could find the bodies of Long Teng and Emperor Ling. If he found them, he would bring them back.
"Yes, did senior see it?"
the empress asked eagerly.
Yu Wenkai shook his head slightly and said: "I didn't see it. I interrogated the maids of the Moon Palace. They said that the demon spirit disposed of the body. I don't know where it is."
When Yang Hu and Tan Wenyue were chasing after each other outside Yuecheng, Yu Wenkai interrogated several maids.
According to the maid's account, Emperor Ling and Long Teng were chopped into meat paste and eaten.
The real situation was so tragic that Yu Wenkai didn't want to tell the truth.
"oh..."
The empress looked miserable and looked very disappointed.
When she came, the Empress had always held out hope that Emperor Ling's body could be found. Even if it was not found this time, it could be found the next time she invaded the ice field.
But Yu Wenkai said that only the devil knows, and the devil...
"Is the demon spirit, the high priest of the ghost clan, still alive?"
The empress suddenly turned around and asked Long Chen, she hoped the demon spirit was still alive.
Long Chen shook his head slightly and said: "When I fought with Li Chengdao on the north side of the pass, the demon tried to die and tried to catch my explosive pack. She was blown away at that time. I don't know whether she died or not. Anyway, I didn't see it later."
Long Chen is different from the Empress. Emperor Ling is the Empress' biological mother and has a very deep relationship.
As a time traveler, Long Chen has very little affection for Long Teng, and he doesn't care whether he can find the body.
"Is that so... He should not be dead, he should have been seriously injured and escaped."
The empress was lucky, hoping to see the demon spirit again and ask about the whereabouts of the emperor's corpse.
"When we invade the ice field next spring, we will know if we catch the demon and ask him face to face."
Yu Wenkai couldn't bear to expose it, so he could only comfort him like this.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "Well, the old general is right."
Yu Wenkai was like an old man comforting his younger generation: "Go back and have a good rest. After spring, go to the ice field. You will definitely find your father." ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
The empress nodded slightly, stood up and left the courtyard. Donna was waiting outside, leading the empress back to the palace.
"In fact, the old general has been found, right?"
After the empress left, Long Chen stayed in the room.
Yu Wenkai gave a bitter smile and said: "You kid, sometimes you are too smart and annoying."
Long Chen didn't speak. After a while, Yu Wenkai said: "I asked the maids of the Moon Palace and they were chopped into meat paste and eaten."
Long Chen remained silent, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness in his heart, but not much.
After all, he is not the rightful owner, so he is not that sad.
"People will always die in war. You can't protect everyone, even your own relatives. I think back then..."
Yu Wenkai showed a sad look for the first time. He thought of his family back then.
During the battle, the family was captured by the ghost girl and all were skinned alive, bled and eaten.
From then on, Yu Wenkai preyed on the ghost clan, tooth for tooth, and blood for blood.
"I know, I'm leaving first."
Long Chen didn't want to say anything anymore, lest Yu Wenkai would be sad.
After coming out of the yard and returning to the room, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were sitting inside at the same time.
One is sitting on the chair and the other is sitting on the edge of the bed.
Long Chen secretly thought something was wrong.
"Choose one."
Di Luoxi sat on the chair, casually picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea.
Long Chen chuckled and said: "Sisters, you have worked hard to choose or not."
Di Lingyi lay down on his side and said, "Fourth sister, I must ask you to choose one. If you don't choose, you won't give me face."
Di Luoxi glanced at Di Lingyi and said coldly: "Third sister, if you insist on fighting with me, you must choose one."
Long Chen smiled and said, "How about you draw lots? This is the fairest way."
Di Luoxi sneered: "Draw lots? No, you have to choose one."
Long Chen was in a dilemma. The two sisters had similar personalities, so he couldn't choose either one.
In this case...
"Your Majesty, I have something else to do with me, please wait a moment."
After saying that, Long Chen turned around and ran away.
"Damn eunuch, come back to me!"
Di Luoxi's roar came from behind, and Long Chen's steps became a little faster.
The cold wind was howling outside, and Long Chen walked a few streets in the city, thinking about where to spend the night.
"Being kicked out again?"
A voice came from the side, and Shi Jingxiang walked out slowly.
"No, I'm going out for a walk."
Long Chen smiled and stepped forward to hold Shi Jingxiang's hand and said, "Where do you live?"
Shi Jingxiang said: "I have my own place to live. If I don't bother King Wu, where will King Wu live?"
Long Chen was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Okay, they are both in the room, forcing me to choose one. I have no choice but to escape. Now I am homeless. Are you willing to take me in?"
Shi Jingxiang sneered and said: "You hang out with them on weekdays, but come to me when you don't want you anymore?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's not that they don't want me, it's that they robbed me, and in the end you took advantage."
Shi Jingxiang snorted and said, "Come with me."
Holding hands, the two walked out of the west city gate and walked to a ruined temple outside the city.
The mountain gate has fallen into decay, and there is thick snow outside the gate with no footprints.
Walking into the ruined temple, the refuge Buddha inside was smashed and the Buddha's head fell to the ground.
Back then, Long Chen sneaked into Zhaoti Temple and made a big fuss, making the scandal of Zhaoti Temple public. The people of Xixia hated converting to Buddhism and demolished the temple.
"Why did you bring me here? Do you like the feeling of wild mountains and forests?"
Long Chen hugged Shi Jingxiang, and Shi Jingxiang broke away from Long Chen's hand and said, "Can you always think about those messy things?"
Walking through the yard and walking to the side house, there is a dry well there.
"What's wrong? Are you hiding something here?"
Long Chen looked at the dry well.
"follow me."
Shi Jingxiang jumped down and jumped into the dry well.
Long Chen slowly climbed down and saw a passage at the bottom of the well.
"Your secret base?"
Shi Jingxiang didn't answer and walked forward slowly.
The passage soon reached the end. Shi Jingxiang took out a fire seal and lit a yellowing candle.
Through the candlelight, you can see a small room with a bed, table and chairs.
"I stayed in Yuncheng for a few years. I discovered this place by chance and moved some things here. I used to come here often to rest alone."
Shi Jingxiang wiped the dust and slowly sat on the edge of the bed.
Since entering Xixia, Shi Jingxiang thought of the previous Xixia.
People have feelings after all. She hated Shi Le and the queen, but these things have passed.
Long Chen smiled and said, "I'm going to borrow your secret base to rest for the night."
Shi Jingxiang didn't answer, she slowly lay down, closed her eyes and thought about the past.
Long Chen didn't bother her and just lay down next to her.
...
Sands City.
The howling cold wind blows across the Gobi Desert and the desert, and the khaki city walls are piled with white snow.
The soldier stood on the guard tower and looked to the west. The city gate was closed.
The severe cold cut off business travel, and Jinsha City was particularly desolate in winter.
"Damn it, I've been staying in this lousy place for three years and I don't want to stay anymore."
The soldiers on the guard tower complained.
"Where are you going if you don't stay here? Go home? I heard that the killings at Yanmen Pass were even worse. Many people died."
"It's better to die at Yanmen Pass than freeze to death here."
"I'm just talking out of anger. I'd rather freeze to death here than be eaten by the ghosts."
"Yes, I heard that it was very miserable to be caught and eaten alive by ghost soldiers, with no bones left."
"Damn it, no place in the world is peaceful and not a good place."
A trust eagle slowly landed in the city. The soldier saw it and said, "Hey? I haven't seen a trust eagle for a long time. Where did it come from?"
