All the candlelight in the room suddenly went out.
The shadows of the trees in the yard are gloomy,
A voice came from Zhou Hanyuan's ears.
"Still remember me?"
The old man's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
However, when he turned around, he was less than a foot away from him.
A face...
A human face.
A face that he often saw in his dreams at midnight.
He is still so young, just like the year he left Qinghe County, but now he is completely pale, with a pair of eyes staring at him faintly.
At this moment, Zhou Hanyuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. A look of fear filled his face, almost suffocating him. When he saw this face, he subconsciously screamed out in fear: "Liu, Liu..."
However, the next moment, his throat was quickly tightened by a cold hand, squeezing his trachea to prevent him from shouting loudly.
Liu Yi, who looked pale and cold, said with dull eyes, "Sure enough, you still remember me..."
"You...how...is it possible...this is a dream..."
Zhou Hanyuan's trachea was pinched and he could only speak with difficulty.
His usual calmness and composure completely disappeared at this time, his whole body was soaked like water, his beard was trembling, and he was muttering incoherently in fear.
"How is it possible? Are you thinking, wasn't I sent to be killed by your men in other places more than ten years ago? Why did you see me tonight after more than ten years..." Liu Yi's voice was ethereal,
It was as light as smoke, but it was like a death talisman in Zhou Hanyuan's heart.
"You are..." The fear in Zhou Hanyuan's eyes became even worse, and his pupils tightened.
"ghost!"
The existence of ghosts in this world is not just some random talk about strange forces.
But not everyone becomes a ghost after death.
Zhou Hanyuan didn't understand why Liu Yi came to him eleven years after his death, but he understood that tonight...
He doesn't want to die!
so.
"I didn't want to kill you at the beginning, it was my son-in-law... He wanted me to kill you. He sent everyone there. You, you care about my daughter and you. At least you still care about me.
It’s Wan’er’s father…”
Elder Zhou Han had blue veins on his face, he was begging for mercy in fear, and his words were trembling.
At the age of fifty-eight, he was looking forward to living in the same house for four generations, but in the end he died at the hands of an evil spirit who was seeking his life.
However.
this moment.
Liu Yi's expression softened and he said slowly: "It seems that all this is true, then I have done nothing wrong."
His voice also suddenly changed, becoming clearer and clearer, like that of a young boy.
Zhou Hanyuan was so sophisticated that he immediately noticed something was wrong and took another look.
Liu Yi's feet actually had shadows under the moonlight.
"You're not Liu Yi, who are you?!" Zhou Hanyuan yelled.
Liu Yi said slowly: "I am indeed not Liu Yi, but I am a friend who has a life-and-death relationship with Liu Yi. I didn't dare to conclude that it was you and the former Zhou Mu master who killed him, so I came to deceive him.
I deceived you, now it seems..."
He tore off the human skin mask on his face, and he was a handsome young man. He said calmly: "I don't care whether it makes sense for you rich families to be well-matched. I only know one thing, kill for life..."
"Liu Yi is my friend. You were afraid that he would come back and affect the marriage, so you sent someone to kill him on the way, but you didn't know that even though he died, he turned into a ghost and drove back."
"He is a ghost, but he is still able to eradicate the ghost disaster in Gulan Mountain on his way back to his hometown. But it is you, a living person."
"First, he killed Liu Yi on his way back to his hometown, and then forced his own daughter to hang herself from a beam."
"You let Liu Yi, the righteous ghost who just wanted to return to Qinghe County to see your daughter in one breath, failed to do so even after he died."
"It's true that hell is empty and evil spirits are in the world."
In the story of the Palace of Reincarnation, Liu Yi came to the door of the Zhou Mansion and suddenly heard the bad news about Wan'er. Two lines of hot tears rolled down his face. In an instant, his heart was gone and his soul was scattered outside the door of the Zhou Mansion.
"You killed Liu Yi, forced your daughter to death, and even made Liu Yi become a ghost after his death, unable to fulfill his wish, and his soul was gone."
"No one knew his story, and his deeds were unknown in the world, but fate brought me to meet him, but I couldn't change anything."
"But at least I can do this for him and myself."
The young man said and raised his knife.
Zhou Hanyuan shouted in fear: "It was my son-in-law who sent people to kill Liu Yi. Why don't you go find him..."
However, the knife wiped it across.
One stroke.
For yourself, have clear thoughts.
To avenge Liu Yi.
There was blood splashing out of the window and all over the floor in the house.
Lu Qingping looked at Zhou Hanyuan who fell on the ground and whispered to herself: "If you are dead, your son-in-law will come to express his condolences. I don't need to look for him."
After that, he took a deep breath, glanced at Liu Yi's face on the human skin mask he bought in front of the Reincarnation Hall, and said softly to himself: "Maybe I am nosy, but who can tell me that I can't calm down..."
There are two things that come into this world.
The first thing is to be happy with your grudges.
What is meant by pleasure and gratitude, since the thoughts are clear.
It is true that he did not know the Liu Yi in history, but he and the Liu Yi projected by the Reincarnation Hall had known each other for two days and one night. If it had not been for Liu Yi, their group of people might not have made it out alive.
Therefore, the first thing he did after coming out was to make his thoughts clear.
Even though eleven years have passed since this happened.
He also wants to kill the two people in this story.
Now, one person is dead and one is left...
In the dark night.
I don’t know when.
Suddenly, a scream came from the Zhou Mansion, and immediately, everyone in the huge mansion came out of the house.
A howl:
"father!"
"grandfather……"
"master……"
However, there was no one in the house except the old corpse and the fearful look in his eyes before he died.
"Who killed my father!!"
The middle-aged man held the body and roared to the sky, his voice echoing out of the Zhou Mansion.
The incident quickly spread throughout the county.
The old man of the Zhou Mansion, the largest aristocratic family in the area, was actually killed in his house late at night.
Soon, this incident spread throughout the county, and the people in the small town were all guessing and talking at the same time:
"What a bold thief. I heard that the Zhou family has nothing missing, but Mr. Zhou was killed with a knife. This is seeking revenge!"
"Who is the enemy of the Zhou family who did this? It's so bold."
"Mr. Zhou's son and son-in-law are not easy to mess with in Junzhou."
………………
There were thirty-six states in the Southern Sui Dynasty, but they were divided into north and south by the canal.
It's cold in the north and warm in the south.
Six northern states: Junzhou, Liangzhou, Shuzhou, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, and Bazhou.
Shuzhou is connected to the Northern Tang Dynasty and has many mountains and precipitous terrain, so it resists the natural dangers in the north.
At the same time that the young prince was killing people in Junzhou.
On the Qinglian Peak in the mountains of Shu.
"Reporting to the prince, we have already gained something. Someone saw a young man with a similar appearance to His Royal Highness, walking out of the mountains of Shu and entering the Junzhou area." Huang Liang wiped his cold sweat and looked at this middle-aged man at the peak of his vitality.
A full cup of tea.
When the man heard this, his body trembled, his eyes flashed with excitement, "I found it."
He immediately stood up and shouted: "Quickly send an order to Junzhou Shepherd to send someone to help me find my son."
There are 400,000 troops stationed in the six states of the northern border. They can almost be called the uncrowned king of the northern border.
Huang Liang immediately smiled and said: "In this case, without further delay, Pindao will send the prince down the mountain immediately, hoping that you and your son will be reunited soon."
Lu Dian nodded, and suddenly he said: "Where is the princess? Why haven't I seen the princess come out these days?"
He almost forgot about the lamb.
"Princess, she has joined our Tianzong and is now building a foundation in the Sword Tomb..." Huang Liang coughed and explained.
"Before going down the mountain, I, the king, should meet with her." Lu Qi said in a low tone.
When he said this, he suddenly felt much older and exhausted.
At this moment, Lu Qi, one of those two children from back then, was completely different from the arrogant and domineering person before Shangshan.
Back then, he personally watched these two children move from the border he was guarding to Beitang, so he wanted to see them, but he was too embarrassed to do so.
The princess is like this, let alone his son.
The reason.
He, as a father, owes them.
The Luoyang royal family also owes them.
In fact, the entire Southern Sui people owed them.
