Chapter 354 Blood Eyes

Woo!

Woo!

Woo!

…

Xuan'er kept rubbing her head against the Wolf King's closed eyes as she let out a whimpering sound, as if she wanted to wake him up.

However, Xu Han was very clear that this method was futile.

Although the Wolf King hadn't died yet, more than half of his meridians had been shattered. It was only a matter of time before death arrived.

He bent down, wanting to appease the sorrowful Xuan'er.

Ding.

But at this moment, something suddenly fell out of his embrace. It landed on the stone on the ground with a crisp sound, and then it was bounced up and landed on the body of the Wolf King.

"Huh?" Xu Han stared fixedly at the blood-colored stone that he had found from the black monster's body.

Just as he was about to pick it up, a dazzling bloody light suddenly erupted from the blood-colored stone.

Xu Han was already very fearful of the black monster. The original reason why he left it behind was to use it as a basis to find out the origin of those monsters. Seeing this mutation, his heart was naturally shocked. He instinctively wanted to stop it.

However, just as he reached out, his heart suddenly stirred.

He discovered that the blood light around the red stone was constantly pouring into the Wolf King's body. Following this strange change, the severed meridians in the Wolf King's body had faintly shown signs of recovery.

Xu Han could not pinch the origin of the blood-colored stone, nor could he explain whether such a restoration would have any other effects on the Wolf King. However, with the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Xu Han was willing to give it a try as long as he had a little hope. In the end, the situation would not be worse than it was now.

Thinking like this, Xu Han put away his other thoughts and called Xuan'er back, but his gaze was fixed on the Wolf King's body.

Time slowly passed.

The dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the moonlight poured down on the Wolf King's body like silver water.

The wolf king's body was wrapped in blood and moonlight, and at that time, it seemed to have a strange smell.

His weak, almost inaudible breathing gradually grew stronger, and his chest began to heave, as if he had regained his vitality.

Both Xuan'er and Xu Han nervously stared at the Wolf King. Every change in its body made the nerves of this person and cat tense.

Hu!

Suddenly, the tip of the Wolf King's nose let out a loud breathing sound. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a bright bloody light lit up in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, he returned to his normal state.

"Miao?" Xuan'er jumped off Xu Han's shoulder and carefully came to the side of the Wolf King, as if she wanted to investigate its condition.

However, at that moment, the Wolf King's body suddenly stood up. He seemed to be a little confused, but when he saw the small black figure in front of him, his huge eyes revealed sincere excitement. He once again crawled down and jumped around the other party, his tail swaying left and right, and even extended his tongue to lick Xuan'er.

However, he was too big, and soon Xuan'er was covered in sticky saliva. Seeing the Wolf King awaken, Xuan'er seemed to be in a much better mood. Rarely did she bother with this matter. Instead, she jumped over the Wolf King's head and continuously stroked the Wolf King's head with her tiny claws.

Such a scene really made Xu Han feel very comfortable.

He was sincerely happy that the Wolf King had returned from the dead, but at that moment, his gaze caught a glimpse of the stone that had landed on the side.

He bent down to pick it up and put it in his palm.

Seemingly exhausting all of its power, the blood-red stone turned into a translucent and translucent object. Xu Han examined the object carefully under the moonlight and frowned again.

…

It was already dark.

The late autumn night breeze carried a bone-chilling chill. The streets of Chang'an City had long been deserted, and most of them were unwilling to rush in this kind of night breeze.

However, candles were still lit in the Wei Yang Palace of the Pu Tian Palace.

Dressed in armor, Zhao Xingyu looked sideways at the beautiful figure on the high platform. As the nephew of Prince Zhao Chu of You Province, Zhao Xingyu's status could naturally be considered noble, but all of this seemed insignificant in front of that woman.

Since the first Great Empress had ascended to the throne in history, this naturally attracted a lot of dissatisfaction, especially in the Great Zhou Dynasty, where the Mufan King of Zhou had always respected himself.

However, Prince Zhao Chu, who had always been indifferent to the matters of the Imperial Court and even had a faint friendship with Zhu Xian, immediately released his goodwill towards the Imperial Court and allowed his nephew Zhao Xingyu to bring ten thousand halberd soldiers to the capital for the Imperial Court to calm down the internal strife.

As for Zhao Xingyu, who was in You Prefecture, he had always been dissatisfied with the inaction of the Imperial Court over the years, but after that day, he changed his mind.

It was the third day of his arrival in the capital. The army was stationed outside Chang'an City waiting to be dispatched, while he waited quietly in the General's Mansion prepared by the Imperial Court.

He had nothing to do and wanted to walk around.

When they reached the eastern suburbs, they saw a woman, surrounded by the people, serving porridge to the beggars.

The girl's appearance couldn't be said to be very good-looking, At least in You Zhou, Zhao Xingyu waved his hand and countless women swarmed forward. However, it was unknown whether it was the warm smile on the girl's face or the fact that even though she was sweating profusely, she did not say a single word of hard work. After all, Zhao Xingyu could never forget that woman, but he could never find her again.

A few days later, he was ordered to enter the Palace Mask Saint. Only then did he know that the girl was actually the current Emperor Yuwen Nan Jing!

Thus, he had no grudge against the Imperial Court, and after calming the civil strife, he became the Emperor's personal guard with his cultivation at the Heavenly Hunt Realm, which he had at the age of twenty-five.

However, he also understood how big the gap between him and Yuwen Nanjing was. He just hoped that he could accompany the other party like this, and he was already satisfied.

"Sir." At this time, a woman dressed as an official walked to Zhao Xingyu's side and whispered in his ear.

"Oh." Hearing this, Zhao Xingyu nodded and walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, Ye Hongjian of the Tian Ce Mansion requests to see you." He bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"Huh? Let her in." The gentle voice of a woman came from the stage. Zhao Xingyu lowered his head and answered yes, but he did not dare to look up. It was as if even a single glance was blasphemy to Zhao Xingyu.

He was about to retreat, but the woman on the stage seemed to have thought of something and said at that time, "All of you, retreat."

"But" Zhao Xingyu was stunned. He felt that something was wrong, but he thought of the relationship between this woman and Ye Hongjian from the Tian Ce Mansion . He immediately put away the words that had reached his mouth and slowly retreated.

…

Qin Keqing did not like the name Yuwen Nanjing, nor did she like being the Great Zhou Great Empress.

In contrast, she preferred her previous life.

As Qin Keqing, as a member of Xu Han's side.

However, many people told her that only when she sat in the position of emperor would there be no displaced people in this world, no starving people dying of hunger. Qin Keqing did not understand what was going on, but everyone repeated this sentence.

Therefore, she had no choice but to obey.

But she couldn't be happy because Xu Han was dead.

How did they die? Everyone was secretive and vague about it.

How could she be willing?

The main hall of Wei Yang Palace was suddenly pushed open, and a woman dressed in red walked in. She knelt down in front of the hall and shouted, "I, Ye Hongjian, pay my respects to His Majesty."

"Senior Sister, hurry up and get up." Qin Keqing hurriedly walked down the platform and helped the kneeling red-clothed woman up.

She had never been able to stand such red tape, especially when she saw someone close to her before, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"Now that His Majesty is the son of heaven of the Great Zhou Empire, these courtesies should be like this. You should not fall into the hands of outsiders." Ye Hongjian, who stood up, smiled and said. She was still beautiful, but there was an indescribable exhaustion hidden between her eyebrows.

The conversation between the two of them had been going on countless times. Qin Keqing felt a little helpless, but she did not intend to entangle herself with this matter any longer. She pulled Ye Hongjian and asked, "How was Senior Sister's trip?"

"En, the barbarians outside the Surabaya Pass in Chongzhou are still relatively stable. They are just fighting and making a fuss. You don't have to worry about them year after year." Ye Hongjian replied with a smile.

After saying that, the two fell into silence.

Xu Han was no longer around. One of them sat on the throne and the other became the head of Tiance Prefecture's manor. The two of them could be said to be one of the most powerful people in Great Zhou. However, there was something missing between the two of them. This kind of thing made their relationship disappear.

"Senior Sister" After a long silence, Qin Keqing broke the silence.

Ye Hongjian looked up at Qin Keqing and was about to respond when Qin Keqing's voice sounded again.

At that time, Qin Keqing looked at Ye Hongjian and her tone suddenly became somewhat low. She asked, "Have you heard of the twin dragons and snakes?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Ye Hongjian's expression changed, not only because of the words that Qin Keqing said, but also because her cold tone had never appeared in Qin Keqing's mouth in Ye Hongjian's memory.

At that time, Ye Hongjian faintly discovered that Qin Keqing's eyes seemed to flash with a bloody light.

"You've heard of it, haven't you?" Qin Keqing found the answer she wanted from Ye Hongjian's violent reaction.

The corners of her bright red lips curved up into a sharp arc.

"Too many people have seen that scene. Paper can't keep fire." Qin Keqing said as the light in her eyes gradually turned cold.

Ye Hongjian's thoughts grew deeper. Tens of thousands of Heavenly Policy Army and many Jianghu people brought by Long Night Si Zhu Xian had seen that scene. Naturally, this matter could not be kept a secret forever. She knew that sooner or later Qin Keqing would know the truth. What she was truly worried about was that Qin Keqing's reaction at this moment was far from what she had expected.

There were no tears of grief, no self-blame of grief and indignation.

There was only a serene calm that was almost crazy, and an indifference that was almost rational.

This was far from what she knew about Qin Keqing, which made her very uneasy.

"Yes." Ye Hongjian nodded her head, but her gaze was fixed on the girl in front of her, faintly feeling that she was a little unfamiliar.

"So they killed Young Master Xu, right?" The girl asked again.

"Xu Han is not dead." For some reason, Ye Hongjian hesitated and told Qin Keqing the truth. She felt that doing so might make the girl feel better, "but it can't let them know, otherwise it would be very dangerous for Xiao Han."

Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing only took a few breaths to digest the news.

The smile on her face was even more intense, but she no longer smelled like spring breeze. Instead, it carried a slightly gloomy feeling.

"I understand. They still don't plan to let Young Master Xu go."

"It is OK."

"I will help him, help him kill all these bad people."

The girl smiled and said in a relaxed tone as if she was talking about a trivial matter, but at that moment, a terrifying bloody light flashed in her eyes again.
