The next day, as the warm sunlight enveloped the entire Liao City, Lan Xi's purpose for this trip had been achieved. The matter stemmed from the piece of paper that " he " had given her. Because the reapers were unable to take away the living souls of Liao City, after repeated investigations, they discovered that they were all imprisoned by an evil ghost and were ordered to be used by it. The reapers wanted to capture it, so they used other innocent living souls as shields. After the reapers reported this to their superiors, they discussed it and told her about this matter. When she took over as the Ghost Lord, she had also said, If there were any living souls that he could not deal with, he could look for her. However, he did not expect that it would be three months later. He originally thought that they would be impatient to come up with some difficult problems.
The piece of paper told the whole story on the surface, but the real reason seemed to have been deliberately hidden. Lan Xi did not care. She knew very well that they did it on purpose. They just wanted to see her ability. Presumably, this time, it would improve a little. As for the evil ghost's ability, when she saw the black fog in the sky on the first day she came to Liao City, she thought it was very powerful. In the end, it was just using other living souls to strengthen itself. Once the living souls left, the black fog became a thin layer. She did not need to expend much effort at all.
After dealing with the evil spirits, Gu Moxi shamelessly followed Lan Xi back to the inn room and shared the same bed with him again. Her displeasure dissipated when he said," Leave the people Xi 'er wants to kill to me ", leaving only warmth and emotion. This man had been paying attention to her all the time. He must have decided to become her executioner when he heard her say that killing people was harmful. He would kill all the humans she wanted to kill and harm her.
In the morning, the Ministry of Justice found Fu Lai Inn and asked Gu Moxi about the whereabouts of the criminal. However, they received the news that the criminal had died yesterday and the body had been chopped up and fed to the dogs. They could only return empty-handed. As a result, the officials in the court could not say anything. He only disposed of the body.
After sending off the people from the Ministry of Justice, Gu Mo Xi sat down on the edge of the bed again. Seeing the woman's peaceful sleeping face, her heart skipped a beat. Her thin lips gently landed a kiss on her forehead. The love between her eyebrows touched her soul. Smelling her faint body fragrance, she felt her whole heart fill up. Her warm palm gently rubbed her tender cheek and the tip of her nose touched. The distance between the two was less than a fist.
Gu Mo Xi's thumb rubbed against Lan Xi's red lips. Her phoenix eyes burned a bit. She opened her thin lips and hesitated. In the end, she couldn't resist the desire in her heart. She couldn't resist the temptation of the woman she loved. She lowered her cherry lips and the softness between her lips spread to the bottom of her heart.
Xi 'er, Xi' er, Xi 'er... She called out the girl's name countless times in her heart. She licked her pink lips with the tip of her tongue, and the heat in her phoenix eyes became darker. She looked at her eyelashes that were like butterfly wings fluttering, and finally let go of her lips with a silent sigh, as if she was asking herself and her," Xi' er, what should I do with you?"”
He stared at her silently for a long time before sighing helplessly. He stood up and walked out of the room. He closed the door for her and turned to leave. He didn't want to offend her while she was asleep, but looking at her sweet sleeping face, his self-control that he was proud of almost collapsed. He was afraid that he would do something wrong if he didn't leave. He never thought that Gu Moxi, who had always treated women as nothing, would have such a torturous moment.
Gu Moxi had just arrived at the entrance of the government office when she bumped into her third brother, Gu Moyan, who was running out in a hurry. Both of them were stunned at the same time. Gu Moyan asked first," Second brother, where did you go?"”
"Go to the inn to see Xi 'er. Where are you going in such a hurry?”Gu Mo Xi temporarily put aside the gloominess in her heart and asked.
Hearing this, Gu Moyan revealed a " I see " evil smile." I was just looking for you. The coroner said he had something to report."
The two brothers immediately rushed to the main hall. The coroner had been investigating the strange corpses in the mortuary for the past two days and had planned to investigate them today. However, when he lifted the white cloth to take a look, the dense pustules on the corpses had suddenly disappeared. They were all normal, just like those who died of old age. So he immediately came to report to His Highness.
Gu Moxi did not say anything after hearing this. She only told the coroner to return to Shengyang City without further investigation. She also asked Gu Moyan to lead a small group of soldiers to the river outside the North City to retrieve the bodies. He brought the servants from the government office to bury the bodies in a wasteland outside the West City. It was close to the forest and few people would go there. She believed that they would rest in peace there.
Due to the large number of coffins, there were not enough coffins in the city. Gu Moyan sent a letter to the steward of the Prince's mansion, asking him to buy coffins in Shengyang. If there were not enough, he would ask the coffin shop to make them. After they were done, he would send them to Liao City with the servants of his second brother's mansion. They would never let the people of Tian Sheng wrap their bodies in straw mats.
The people in the city who had not been persecuted by Wang Ji wanted to help, but Gu Mo Xi politely refused. They were all old people, and some were still sick. How could he let them contribute? However, it was really not enough for them. He could only agree to let them cook for the soldiers, bring water, wash clothes, and do these light things.
The well water contaminated by the corpse poison could not be used for the time being. The people of Liao City were using the water source from Shengyang, waiting for the doctor to sprinkle the antidote powder after the work of retrieving the corpses. However, there were too many corpses in the river. The small group of soldiers took three days to complete the salvage. Looking at the bodies that were soaked in water and thinking about how they used to look alive, the people of Liao City were furious. They all cursed Wang Jilai, who had already turned into ashes.
Wang Furan, who was still injured, rushed to the scene after hearing the news. He saw that the people who used to live and work under his rule were now lying there lifeless. He was heartbroken. He hated his younger brother and knelt down to them at the same time. He kowtowed a few times until his forehead bled. He confessed his sins. It was his carelessness that caused him to be murdered by his younger brother and let them die.
Seeing this, how could the people blame him? Moreover, Wang Furan had indeed put in his heart for the people when he first took office. He was fair and strict, so they gave him the title of Wang Qingtian. They all persuaded and encouraged him. This made Wang Furan, a seven-foot-tall man, cry non-stop. He swore that he would never do anything that went against his conscience during his tenure as an official and would not let down the expectations of the people.
This scene moved Gu Moran and the others. The common people were the root of the country, and officials were the heavens of the common people. A good official would benefit the common people, while a corrupt official would make the common people suffer. The imperial court held the autumn examination to find good officials for the common people, to support the blue sky above the heads of the common people, and to make the country prosperous and the people peaceful. This was what the three brothers cared about the most.
The disaster relief work in Liao City was proceeding in an orderly manner. Resources were being delivered from Shengyang City one after another. The once dead city was showing signs of prosperity, and it was believed that it would not be long before it would return to its former prosperity. King Jing, King Wu, and the others who had come to the disaster relief this time had undoubtedly made a great contribution. When they returned to Shengyang City, they would inevitably be rewarded in the imperial court. Naturally, their reputation would make women fall in love with them.
After a busy day, Gu Moxi walked into the door of Fulai Inn with a tired but intoxicating smile. This inn had already had several guests, which gave the shopkeeper hope. Seeing him come in, he quickly put down the tray in his hand and went forward to salute, but Gu Moxi waved her hand first, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
"Shopkeeper, did Xi 'er eat today?”
"Wangye, this lowly one is waiting for wangye. The quasi wangfei checked out at noon and the quasi wangfei's maid asked this lowly one to inform wangye.”Within a few days, the innkeeper also knew about the relationship between Gu Moxi and Lan Xi, so he followed Yan and called her the future princess consort. He thought to himself that this princess consort was really bold. How could she leave her husband first?
The smile on Gu Moxi's face froze when she heard that. The joy she felt before entering the door was replaced by sadness. Why did Xi 'er leave without saying anything? She was too naughty.! As expected, he shouldn't have left her alone in the inn. Waving his hand, he turned around and left the inn to head to the government office. He wanted to quickly end the matter in Liao City and return to Shengyang City to see the little girl. He had not forgotten that there was a demon-like Tao Yao in the residence. Among the three men, he was the most dangerous.
At noon, Lan Xi woke up for some reason. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She scratched her head and decided to get up and return to Shengyang City. The matter in Liao City was over, so she did not want to continue sleeping on such a hard bed. She asked Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan to get ready. The three of them held umbrellas as they left the city gate. When they saw people coming and going on the official road, they gave up on the horse carriage and walked.
Their speed was very fast. It seemed that they only took one step, but each step was ten meters apart. When they passed by passers-by, it was like a gust of wind. Their ghostly figures and speed did not attract anyone's attention. This was probably the difference between demons and humans. They did not need to deliberately, but it was difficult for humans to detect them.
Under Lan Xi's lead, Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan only took half a day to travel the distance that would have taken a day. This made Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan feel admiration for her. Yuanyuan had been talking non-stop after entering Shengyang City. Her words were full of admiration for her. Mei Sheng was not as outgoing as Yuanyuan. Although he did not say a word of admiration, his gaze was filled with endless admiration. At the same time, he was even more determined to speed up his cultivation.
They had entered the city in the evening and did not need to hold an umbrella. The three of them were all top-notch in appearance. Just Mei Sheng's charm and Yuanyuan's cuteness were enough to attract the attention of others, not to mention Lan Xi's celestial appearance, indifferent and distant temperament, elegant and noble behavior. Anyone who saw her, regardless of gender, was unable to move as if their acupoints had been pressed. They watched helplessly as they walked past them until they could no longer see them.
Therefore, they did not encounter any trouble along the way. They arrived at the entrance of the Lan Mansion smoothly and bumped into Tao Yao, Soul Eater, and Shangguan Yibing who had just returned from their trip. The six of them were stunned when they saw each other. Lan Xi nodded calmly. Mei Sheng and Yuanyuan went up to greet them. Tao Yao ran to Lan Xi with a smile.
"Xiao Xi Xi, you're finally back. We've been so lonely the past few days without you.”Tao Yao clasped her hands in front of her chest and said pitifully with a devilish face. Her peach blossom eyes that were full of electricity blinked and emitted a little light. They could smell each other's scent at such a close distance.
"Taoyao, don't talk nonsense. You're the only one lonely, right?”Shangguan Yibing stepped forward and squeezed through the crowd. As he spoke, he looked Lan Xi up and down. When he saw that she was not injured, he smiled comfortably, which was like a spring breeze.
Tao Yao was furious and indignant. She pointed at Shangguan Yibing and revealed," Who was the one who stared at Xiao Xi Xi's seat while eating?”
"Isn't that you?" Suddenly, a voice came from behind. The three of them looked over and saw that it was Soul Devourer. After he finished speaking, he bowed to Lan Xi." Miss, did things go smoothly?"”
Lan Xi nodded and turned to Tao Yao with a smile on her face as if he was going to jump up again. As expected, Tao Yao pointed at the Soul Eater and roared," What about you? You were distracted while you were practicing. You dare say that you weren't thinking about Xiao Xi Xi?"”
" Hehe…" Lan Xi could not help but laugh out loud when she saw the way the three of them interacted. Under their puzzled gazes, she raised her hand and rubbed Tao Yao's head. She smiled and said," Tao Yao is so cute."”With that, he entered the mansion.
" Pa!" A sound came from behind. Yuanyuan turned around and shook her head helplessly. Tao Yao was lying on the ground. Her enchanting red dress was particularly eye-catching. His eyes turned red as he looked at Lan Xi's back. Water dripped from the corner of his mouth. He was infatuated!!
