Chapter 142 Haunted House 8

Xiang Zixi was stunned, then lowered his head and said sadly, "I'm sorry, Ji Yan, am I too selfish?"

Ji Yan looked at Xiang Zixi, gently turned his body, and sighed, "You are for Jin Haoxuan, aren't you? Because this matter involves the palace, you believe that this matter has something to do with Jin Haoxuan, so you are so careful, aren't you?

It turns out that he knows it!

Xiang Zixi felt even more guilty. Anyway, this is my own private business, but I selfishly implicated Ji Yan. Especially when I was a little uncomfortable with him last night, which made Xiang Zixi even more guilty.

"Even if it has something to do with Jin Haoxuan, what can you do? After all, this happened several years ago! At that time, Jin Haoxuan was only ten years old and had just been sensible. Ji Yan sighed, "Why are you so obsessed?"

Xiang Zixi smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, because I'm such a desperate person. For the person I like, I will try my best to help him and get to know him, both now and in the past. Ji Yan, what you said makes sense. There may be nothing in this cave, but it's just a retreat. Let's go back!"

Xiang Zixi turned around in a hurry and was ready to leave. Ji Yan suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Xiang Zixi's wrist. After a long time, he said softly, "Sometimes, I'm really jealous of that guy. He can get your care so luxuriously. However, I care more about your safety. As long as there is any threat to you, I will not allow it to exist!"

"Thank you!" Xiang Zixi smiled faintly: "I'm very lucky!"

Ji Yan's eyes darkened and said softly, "I understand!"

Ji Yan slowly loosened Xiang Zixi's wrist and watched her skillfully climb the rocks on the hillside and slowly climb down the mountain. Ji Yan gently closed his eyes and hit his whole body in an instant with a touch of pain that was difficult to pull out in the bottom of his heart.

Why, why do you have a feeling of heartache? Why do you feel like an idiot?

Ji Yan jumped down the hill, looked back at the cave, and quickly caught up with Xiang Zixi's footsteps.

The two became silent and walked back silently.

Xiang Zixi walked uneasfully and didn't see the stone under his feet at all. Just as she was about to trip, a familiar embrace appeared in front of her and held her.

What are you thinking about? Can't even walk the road?" Although Ji Yan kept scolding himself for being un promising in the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help speaking with concern.

Xiang Zixi gently looked up, looked at the familiar face, the familiar peach blossom eyes, gently shook his head and said, "Nothing, I'm just thinking about something else. Ah, by the way, Ji Yan, are you hungry?

In the morning, the two of them basically ate a bellyful of green vegetables. After working so much in the morning, the vegetables in their stomachs had been almost digested.

When Xiang Zixi was so chop, the two suddenly felt hungry, so they naturally returned home.

Just as the two returned to the village, cooking smoke was floating everywhere in the village, and the children on the street were laughing and playing. Seeing the two people coming back, the innocent children suddenly greeted them and said, "You are really brave! Our parents don't have the courage to go there!"

smiled at Zixi: "Really?"

One of the children grabbed his mouth and said, "Yes, yes, you live in that house. Didn't you find that the wind in that house is very scary? Especially at night, a woman in white will come out to catch the child. The woman has a chain in her hand, which is a fascinating chain!"

Chain? Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan were stunned at the same time, and they didn't notice any chains on the puppet's hands! Did you read it wrong?

The two looked at each other and no longer cared about the group of children. They rushed back to the secret room again. This time, they were much more proficient and comfortable, so they soon appeared in the small secret room.

The two looked at it, but it was nothing. The puppet really held something in his hand, but it was not a chain, but just a ribbon. After being reflected by lights and mirrors at night, it was mistaken for a chain!

Xiang Zixi took a bold step forward, reached out and gently held the ribbon in the puppet's hand, and pulled it gently. Suddenly, there was a pricking sound on the puppet's body. Then the puppet slowly raised its head and looked at Xiang Zixi and Ji Yan. The backs of the two people who looked at them suddenly felt creepy. However!

Even if you know that there is only an inanimate puppet in front of you, because the skills are too exquisite, as if they have rich expressions and eyes like real people, it still makes the two people feel uncomfortable for a while.

You know, this is a puppet man who is not driven by any electrical appliances!

"You're finally here!" The puppet suddenly opened his mouth and spoke. Xiang Zixi felt that his hair was about to stand up, and one hand grabbed Ji Yan's hand.

Ji Yan was also stunned and didn't expect that this puppet could speak at all!

Is it possible that the ribbon just now is the opening mechanism?

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The puppet continued to say mechanically, "You are probably an adult when you see me, right?" Now I'm going to tell you the truth about what happened! Your mother was forcibly robbed by your father! No, it should be said that he was contributed to your father as a gift by a man, and then there was you! I have been following your mother from the distant country to the dark country and witnessed everything that happened to your mother.

"Before your mother died, she told me that if I saw you, I must tell you a secret. That is, you also have a brother named Muer. You must find your brother! Stop the king of Qi from chasing your brother!" The puppet voice mechanically said, "The only way to fight against the king of Qi is that your brothers work together. The king of Qi has a deep foundation that even the emperor can't shake easily, but with the power of your brothers, you can fight against the king of Qi! Remember, remember!"

When the puppet said this, his body seemed to have drained all his strength, suddenly lowered his head, and the organs all over his body crackled!

Xiang Zixi watched the puppet's whole body twisting and trembling. Suddenly, with a bang, the puppet was smashed by its own mechanism!

Ji Yan suddenly protected Xiang Zixi, looked at the puppet that had become a piece of pieces, and suddenly remembered the superstition he saw in his mind.

Moon Soft, Moon Soft! Jin Haoxuan's mother!

Sure enough, the organ here is really about the palace, about the murder ten years ago!

Ji Yan sighed gently: "The person who left the message is so cautious! Unexpectedly, the puppet was used to send the message through the sound, and after the news was transmitted, it blew itself up. In this way, no one would know the secret and could not keep it except the people who heard it!"

He said to Zixi with a pale face, "It's really the ghost of the king of Qi! The woman who lived here at that time was probably close to Jin Haoxuan's mother. Otherwise, how could she do such a thing?

Ji Yan frowned and said, "I think the purpose of building this basement was actually for the princess."

Xiang Zixi looked at Ji Yan in consternation. Ji Yan smiled faintly and said, "Who do you think has the ability to build such a perfect secret room in the dark country? I think this was probably built by the emperor of the dark country, but the princess was forced to a dead end by the king of Qi before she could live in. Before his death, the person closest to him ran out and ran here to leave a message, worrying that the suicide note he wrote in the cold palace would be searched by the king of Qi, so the mystery of his death really became a mystery!"

It makes sense to listen to Zixi. The palace is full of the eyes of the king of Qi. It is impossible to hide his own suicide note from the king of Qi. In the case that the whereabouts of the suicide note may be unknown, it is also important to convey the news in another way.

Therefore, before her death, the princess secretly entrusted her confidant to run here with a craftsman. On the one's, she took refuge, and on the other, she transmitted the news to Jin Haoxuan's ears as much as possible.

So, although the two live a simple and simple house, they go out every year to see Jin Haoxuan and pass the news to Jin Haoxuan's ears, right? However, the king of Qi had too many eyeliners, and the two were finally followed, so a tragic scene happened six years ago.

Probably two people had expected this ending for a long time, so they set up such a clever mechanism to pass on the unspoken news through puppets.

After so much deliberation, it is indeed much clearer.

Xiang Zixi looked at the secret room with regret and sighed gently, "The emperor of the dark country is really cowardly. He can't even protect his wife. What's the right to be an emperor?"

Ji Yan smiled and said, "You don't know anything about this! In fact, the original throne was given to the king of Qi! Not the current emperor!"

Xiang Zixi was stunned: "Ah ha?————"

Ji Yan continued: "At that time, today's dark emperor was just a prince. Of course, he was a relatively favored prince, but the prince was today's king of Qi!" Therefore, the king of Qi has a certain military power in his hands from beginning to end! Later, the current emperor used his wrist to pass the throne to the old emperor before his death, causing the two brothers to turn against each other! And the military power in the hands of the king of Qi is also growing. Even as the emperor, he has no choice! Because this is the deathbed of the old emperor, he must not deprive the king of Qi of his military power for life!"

"So that's it! I didn't expect such a thing!" Xiang Zixi suddenly realized: "Only when you have military power can you have politics! One-third of the military power is in the hands of the king of Qi. If the king of Qi deliberately fights against him, it will be dangerous if the dark country is between the shining country and the Yao country!"

"Exactly! Therefore, the emperor of the Dark Kingdom is actually in a very awkward position like the emperor of Yao Kingdom. Obviously, the throne is in hand, but there is an unshakable existence!" Ji Yan said softly, "This also slowly contributed to the arrogance of the king of Qi, making it impossible for him to protect his beloved wife!"
