The news that the Yan family's father and son died on the battlefield at the same time finally came back, and the whole court was in an uproar.
What Yan Shu could guess, these ministers with delicate minds could also imagine. It is absolutely impossible to die in battle at the same time. Someone must have done something wrong!
As for who this person is, it’s not up to him, everyone can figure it out.
Regarding this, among the ministers in the DPRK, some were sympathetic, some were gloating, and some were disappointed.
After all, even a loyal and loyal minister like the Yan family can be eliminated at any time, which shows that the emperor is ruthless.
After Shang Liyuan lamented sadly in the morning, he quickly mentioned the matter of sending someone to take over the Northwest Army.
This topic made the court officials ignore the news that the Yan family's father and son were killed in the battle, and hurriedly snatched up this piece of fat.
However, Shang Liyuan already had a candidate in mind. He had put all his effort into making such a plan, not just to make wedding clothes for others.
But this candidate cannot be announced today, otherwise it will make people think that he has been prepared for a long time. The news has just come back, and he can't wait to prepare his successor.
So let these people fight for a few days before he issues an order.
Shang Liyuan suppressed the joy in his heart and sat on the dragon chair high above him. He looked at the noisy ministers below with a calm face.
At this time, he suddenly noticed a person walking in from a distance outside the palace door.
A tall man, wearing black armor and holding a spear, walked step by step from outside the temple.
Shang Liyuan was stunned for a moment, because he did not hear the communication sound, and the guards in front of the palace gate did not stop him at all. Especially since he was armed.
Weapons are not allowed into the Assembly Hall.
At the moment when Shang Liyuan was stunned, the man in armor had already entered the hall. As he got closer, Shang Liyuan saw that this man's armor was covered in blood.
The black armor seemed to have been soaked with blood, revealing a strange blood-red color.
Every time the man takes a step, he will leave a bloody footprint behind him.
But he continued to move forward as if he was unaware.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The heavy sound of armor gradually came closer, and the spear scratched across the bluestone ground, making a harsh friction sound.
In a blink of an eye, the man was less than ten meters away from Shang Liyuan, and he finally saw the face of the armored man clearly. This face was covered with blood.
A pair of eyes, as dark as a boundless hell, capable of sucking away a person's soul.
There was a bloody wound on the left half of his face, from the tip of his eyebrow to the corner of his jaw. The right half of his face was intact, and Shang Liyuan recognized this person from the familiar outline.
His eyes widened in shock, "Are you Yan Qing?! Aren't you already dead? Why are you here?"
Yan Qing did not answer and continued to approach Shang Liyuan step by step.
Shang Liyuan stood up in shock and anger, "Yan Qing! What are you going to do! Someone, stop him!"
The ministers stopped arguing and looked at Shang Liyuan with puzzled faces, not knowing why.
After Shang Liyuan shouted, the guards guarding outside the palace rushed in, but they also stood there confused, not knowing who His Majesty asked them to stop.
Shang Liyuan was furious, "What are you doing standing still? Pull this rebellious thief away from me!"
He pointed in Yan Qing's direction angrily.
However, what the ministers and guards saw was air.
The leader of the guards saluted and asked, "Your Majesty, who do you want to pull from your humble position?"
Shang Liyuan wondered if the guard was blind. He pointed at such a big person and couldn't see it
"I asked you to pull Yan Qing down! Hurry up, didn't you see the gun in his hand? Do you want to watch him kill the king!"
However, when everyone followed the direction of his finger, they still could only see a mass of air. The ministers who reacted belatedly couldn't help but feel numb. Did your Majesty see a ghost
"Your Majesty, there is nothing there... there you pointed at." The leader of the guards replied bravely.
Nothing at all
Shang Liyuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yan Qing. Yan Qing was almost in front of him, and he finally discovered something was wrong.
The government hall has poor lighting, so lights must be lit even during the day.
However, under the light, Yan Qing had no shadow.
Shang Liyuan felt a sense of fear in his heart. He had never been afraid of ghosts and gods. Living people were much scarier than ghosts. But that was because he had never seen a ghost before. It was the first time a living ghost appeared in front of him, and he instinctively felt a fear of unknown things.
However, he quickly calmed down, pulled out his sword, pointed it at Yan Qing, and sneered, "What do you want to do? Do you want revenge? Humph! I can kill you once, and I can kill you a second time. !”
As he spoke, he stabbed Yan Qing with his sword.
The sense of oppression given to him by Yan Qing was so strong that he no longer cared that he was in front of the court officials.
Yan Qing had already walked in front of him and accepted his sword without hiding. However, although Shang Liyuan was stabbed, it was like stabbing a ball of air, and even his hand passed through Yan Qing's body.
Shang Liyuan also confirmed from this that Yan Qing was really a ghost and not someone who was playing tricks on him.
At this time, Yan Qing finally made a move. He stretched out his right hand and pinched Shang Liyuan's neck.
Shang Liyuan couldn't stab him, but he could easily grab Shang Liyuan's neck.
"Cough, cough, save, save... drive."
Shang Liyuan was strangled tightly by his iron palm. His face was red from holding back, he was on the verge of suffocation, and he almost saw death coming.
When the ministers saw this scene, they were all shocked.
They saw His Majesty yelling into the air, slashing with a sword, and then grabbing his own neck until his face turned purple.
It’s like he’s possessed!
Is there really a ghost
The ministers were in a panic, and some people had the courage to hold Shang Liyuan's hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let go..."
At this time, Shang Liyuan was about to faint. So Yan Qing let go of him, turned around and left.
When he turned around, Shang Liyuan saw that his back was full of arrows, and there was even a spear pierced from the back of his heart.
There was almost no intact part of his body.
Shang Liyuan fell on the dragon chair, like a puddle of mud, breathing heavily, watching Yan Qing leave step by step just like when he came.
When he walked out of the hall, he slowly disappeared.
The ministers were as silent as a cicada, not daring to make a sound. It took Shang Liyuan a long time to recover, his face was livid and cold.
"What happened today is all rotten in my stomach. Not a word of it is allowed to be spread outside!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse.
All the ministers knelt down quickly and agreed in unison.
But can this kind of thing be banned just by saying it is forbidden
Soon, the story that His Majesty was possessed by a ghost and almost strangled himself to death when he went to court quietly spread throughout the previous dynasty and harem.
"Is there really a ghost?" Mrs. Lin asked in surprise.
"Ghosts are in people's hearts. There are ghosts in his heart, so he saw ghosts." Lin Xinghan said coldly.
He is now much better and can walk around. I should have been happy, but because I heard the news that the Yan family's father and son were killed in battle, I couldn't be happy for a while.
Lin Xiuwen shook his head and said, "Whether it's true or not, His Majesty called Yan Qing's name more than once. I'm afraid there is something fishy about the deaths of the Yan family's father and son."
"Does this need to be said? It's just a trick of overpowering the master, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, removing the mill and killing the donkey."
"Han'er, be careful what you say," Lin Xiuwen whispered, "Father knows that you and Yan Qing have been friends since childhood, but there are some things you just need to know in your heart. Be careful of the words that come out of your mouth."
Lin Xinghan stopped talking.
The same goes for other ministers. The news that the Yan family's father and son died in battle was not as explosive as the news that Shang Liyuan had seen a ghost. For a while, everyone was talking privately.
Fengyi Palace.
When Yan Shu heard the news that her father and brother had died in battle, the last trace of luck in her heart disappeared.
Before, she had always held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the system was lying to her, but now, there was no glimmer of hope.
She didn't cry, she was so sad that she couldn't cry anymore.
She locked herself in her bedroom, making others think she was in grief. In fact, she was admiring the scene in the political hall broadcast to her by the system.
Seeing Shang Liyuan so frightened that he turned pale, pinched himself until he couldn't breathe, and showed his ugly and pitiful appearance, she felt very happy.
After Yan Qing finished playing the ghost role, he returned to the palace and began to play the system again.
"System, this Ghost Seeing Talisman in the Blue Sky is so useful. I will continue to use it on him when there is such a reward in the future. I found that killing him with one knife is too cheap for him, leaving him living in fear and suffering every day. Excessive torture, worse than life, is the best punishment for him!"
Yan Qing: Got it, arranged!
"Side mission 1: Use public opinion to spread the story that Shang Liyuan assassinated the Yan family and his son, and then went evil and saw ghosts. (Method of dissemination: ballads, storytelling, drama...) Mission completion reward: Blue sky and white sun ghost talisman*3, immersive Nightmare Talisman*1.
Side mission two: secretly give a panacea that can cure all diseases and save Fang Jingtong. Mission completion reward: A complete collection of intelligence agency techniques throughout the ages. "
Yan Shu nodded, "Yes, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world. If what Shang Liyuan did is spread, he will definitely lose some of the hearts of the people."
"Not only that, but it can also help the Yan family win some people's support. Sympathy is also the people's support." Yan Qing said.
Yan Shu was filled with admiration from the bottom of her heart. She didn't expect the system to think so far ahead and already think about the future for so long in one step of the plan.
"Who is this Fang Jingtong?"
"After systematic evaluation, Fang Jingtong is a rare general. More importantly, the Yan family is kind to him. As long as he can be saved, he will definitely grow up. He is now seriously injured. Although his life is not hanging by a thread, My hamstring is injured and I’m almost disabled.”
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the medicine to him immediately."
Yan Shu sighed once again, the system is so powerful that it can even evaluate a person's development potential!
She now believes that the system is definitely not a monster, because the monsters recorded in monster novels do not have such great abilities!
