Although Guan Shutao was not smart, he was definitely not stupid. He immediately hid the scroll back in his sleeve, took Ming Yechen's arm carelessly, nodded slightly to He Ying, and said to himself: "Master He,

I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I will explain the truth to my elder brother personally. Don't worry, my elder brother will definitely be able to kill the real culprit and seek justice for Huang Ying and the 20,000 dead soldiers. You go back and rest first. I'll be late.

I’ll see you again later.”

Without waiting for He Ying to reply, he couldn't help but pull Ming Yechen away. Ming Yechen was pulled away by her without saying much, but she wanted to see what kind of medicine this little girl with no wealth was selling in the gourd?

The two of them returned to the Chaoyang Palace under the hazy moonlight. Guan Shutao was thinking all the way, but he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. It wasn't until the delicious smell of food gradually entered his nose that he remembered that he had not been able to eat for two days.

Now that we have eaten, we can just use it as an excuse to delay for a while.

After making up his mind, Guan Shutao began to call Ye'er to prepare meals for him. However, after calling several times, Ye'er failed to show up. He simply summoned another little maid and asked her vividly to prepare food and drinks for him.

.

Ming Yechen held her chin in her hand and sat on the wooden stool next to the round table. He watched her chirping like a magpie and thought to herself: With Xiao Shutao's cheerful temperament, nothing can really break her down.

Her?

After the maids and attendants prepared the food and wine, closed the door and left, Guan Shutao finally stopped and just sat down opposite Ming Yechen when he suddenly said in surprise: "Ah! I forgot to ask you if you like it.

I made my own decision about what to eat and asked them to prepare all the food I like. If my eldest brother doesn’t like it, I’ll ask them to prepare it again.”

Ming Yechen rarely eats on weekdays, and occasionally eats mainly light meals. Looking at the dazzling array of meat on the table, he really doesn't like it, but he still took off his mask very freely and smiled at her: "Little

Whatever Shutao likes to eat, big brother will eat whatever he likes."

Guan Shutao was like a child who was about to get some sweets. His face was so happy that he moved from the seat opposite him to the seat next to him. He served him a bowl full of meat like a good boy and urged him.

He ate it while it was hot.

Ming Yechen frowned, picked up the chopsticks but couldn't put them down no matter what, he simply put the chopsticks aside, pushed the bowl in front of Guan Shutao, and said sternly: "Youshi has passed, you are as beautiful as a flower

My dear girl, it’s not appropriate for me to stay here for a long time. It’s better to talk about business first.”

"Hey! It's so boring. I thought you were extraordinary and wouldn't care about the clichés and broken rules in the eyes of ordinary people. I didn't expect that you are as boring as Brother Haoyue. You only talk about business all day long and are not interesting at all. Oh my god.

Shouldn't we talk about everything after we've eaten enough?" Guan Shutao took a piece of beef and waved it in front of his eyes, then he happily put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. While eating, he praised the taste and asked everyone

Brother, try it quickly.

She kept her hands on her hands and her mouth was not empty, making it clear that she didn't want to talk about business. Ming Yechen stared at her calmly, which made her feel on pins and needles, and quickly moved to a seat next to her.

With something to hide in his mind, he no longer had any thoughts of feasting. Guan Shutao lowered his eyes and casually picked up the food and put it in his mouth. For the first time, he tasted the elegance and dignity of a lady.

Ming Yechen was really very patient. Guan Shutao didn't say anything, nor did he rush her. Instead, he stared at her eating with interest. Seeing that there was some grease on the corner of her mouth, he handed over the brocade handkerchief prepared by the maids.

.

Guan Shutao knew that he had soiled his face, but he did not take the brocade handkerchief. He only spread the scroll in his sleeve in front of his elder brother, and then said what he had been thinking about for a long time: "This person is the one who plotted to harm Huang Ying and

The culprit of Cang Qing Peak’s methods are so despicable that they are simply against humanity.”

Since she had been straightforward since childhood and had never told a lie, Guan Shutao could only omit part of the information about holding the fan and directly picked out the most important information. But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized

The eldest brother didn't seem to be interested in listening, nor did he move his eyes towards the portrait. Instead, he stared at her intently and smiled.

The wine shimmered lightly under the candlelight, and the light was reflected in his obsidian eyes, like shining stars in the night sky. Guan Shutao playfully stretched out his hand to block the light, but saw that there was no light in his eyes.

Although there were stars, there was more of me, so she raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and said stupidly: "Brother, there are stars in your eyes, and there are also me."

Ming Yechen was startled for a moment, then stretched out his hand to rub the top of her head and said with a smile: "It's getting late, you should rest early."

After that, he stood up and was about to leave, but Guan Shutao suddenly grabbed his hand, blinked his big innocent eyes and looked up at him, and said softly: "I...I didn't tell the truth. Is eldest brother angry?"

"What do you think?" Ming Yechen said with a straight face.

Guan Shutao wanted to say something to persuade him to stay, but after much thought, she couldn't find a suitable reason to keep her eldest brother unless she told the truth. But somehow, she just wanted to protect Zhifan, even if her eldest brother

She would be angry because of this. Even if Zhi Fan really conspired with the Prince of Heaven to assassinate Cang Qingfeng, she would still want to give Zhi Fan a chance to change his ways.

Letting go of his hand, Guan Shutao lowered his eyes and replied in an inaudible voice: "I, I don't know."

Ming Yechen was really amused by her guilty look. He rubbed her head again and said: "Okay, don't be depressed. In fact, I already knew the information He Ying revealed to you, and

It’s more detailed than you know, and you don’t have to hide it.”

"You know?" Guan Shutao looked up at him, wondering if his elder brother was also lying to him?

"Yes." Ming Yechen nodded, "After gathering He Ying's three souls and seven souls yesterday, I used the 'soul-taking technique' to read his memory. In his memory, I saw Huang Ying being kidnapped.

On the cross stake."

At this point, he paused deliberately. Seeing Xiao Shutao's mouth open in astonishment, he raised her chin with his fingers, making her lips close and said, "Don't be so surprised yet, I still have something to say."

Guan Shutao nodded obediently, and Ming Yechen added: "Huang Ying lost her mind because the living creatures in her body ate up her brain and body, leaving only her skeleton and skin. The living creatures controlled

Her body can kill people, set fire, and walk freely. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Huang Ying summons monsters, but in fact, it is the living things in her body that drive her to summon the same kind.

This is an ancient magic that uses the mother's body to create a "human". The practitioner first puts the insect eggs into the seven holes on the face of a living person, and then uses the magic to make the eggs hatch quickly in the mother's body. After hatching, the larvae will use the mother's flesh and blood.

For food, it gradually grows into a large insect, which is then catalyzed by the caster, and finally becomes a crazy and bloodthirsty monster.

The mother body can be either male or female, but in order to be sure, the practitioner usually chooses a young woman as the mother body. Women are the mothers who give birth to life. As long as the eggs are placed in the uterine cavity, they will hatch quickly in the mother's belly like a fetus.

, and grew rapidly, thus achieving the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Fortunately, the big insect in Huang Ying's body had not grown to the point where it could eat her soul, so He Ying was given the opportunity to wake her up."

After saying this, Ming Yechen suddenly felt her wrist tighten. She lowered her head and saw that Xiao Shutao had grabbed his wrist with force. There were tears in her eyes. She blamed herself and was also scared.

Ming Yechen sat back next to her and persuaded softly: "Don't worry, little Shutao, since the elder brother already knows the identity of the other party, he will definitely not let him go."

"Brother, I'm sorry! It's all my fault. I trusted the wrong person. I sold Huang Ying and Cang Qingfeng. I'm sorry for Huang Ying, I'm sorry for He Ying, I'm sorry for Master and Brother Haoyue." Guan Shu

As Tao was talking, he threw himself into his arms with a "wow" sound, twitching and unable to utter a complete sentence.

"It's okay. I don't blame you for this. I really don't blame you." Ming Yechen comforted her softly while patting her back.

But in fact, there were still many things that Ming Yechen didn't explain clearly. For example, the place where the insect eggs were inserted was not only the seven holes on the face but also the woman's lower body. And judging from Huang Ying's clothes at the time, she must have belonged to the latter.

Ming Yechen didn't want the simple-minded little Shutao to know about such filthy things. However, the "Gong Yu Can" sect who knew this evil technique was banned from the Wuyou Kingdom as early as 90,000 years ago because of his many evil deeds.

The king ordered the nine tribes to be killed. Logically speaking, the magic should have been lost long ago. Why did it reappear in the world after 90,000 years? And no matter how strange the monster is, it is just ugly and feeds on flesh and blood. It is definitely not

If you can't kill them, why do you kill more and more?

Since he could not see the monsters themselves, Ming Yechen had no way of knowing what kind of insect eggs they were transformed from, but he expected that Huang Ying was just the beginning, and the caster would definitely look for the next mother body, and then repeat the same trick to attack Cang again.

Qingfeng.

Today, he and Dugu Hao and his party patrolled under Cangqing Peak and found that Guan Xinrong's Huoyang Mirror was not completely ineffective. At least the surrounding area where the Huoyang Mirror was placed had not been infested by monsters. He wanted to keep it.

Cang Qingfeng had to skillfully use the Fire Sun Mirror to set up the 'Earth Fire Array', but Ming Yechen hadn't figured out how to use it yet, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

Guan Shutao cried for a while, and finally stopped while swallowing. He thought that since his elder brother had read He Ying's memory, he must already know about holding the fan, so he hurriedly left his arms and hesitated.

Ask him what he would do with the fan.

Ming Yechen came with her, just out of curiosity about who the person Xiao Shutao was guarding was. Only then did he realize that the person Xiao Shutao was guarding was actually holding a fan, so he said sternly: "Don't worry, no matter what

Whether she made a mistake or not, I won't hurt her, because she is more important to me than her life!"

This is far beyond what Guan Shutao can understand. After all, Zhishan once said that she and Ming Yechen were enemies. Guan Shutao couldn't figure out why the eldest brother would value his enemies more than his own life.

Can't it be to appease yourself?
