Chapter 74 Professional Cannon Fodder Is Scary

"Miss Yu, why are you here?"

The guarding officer knew Yu Qingfeng. Facing the famous person next to Pei Wuyan, or the flower of Dali Temple that all three adults believed in, he nodded and bowed, very polite.

"I'm here to talk to Kong Shannan and Chuntao."

"Oh, Mr. Lin has just come in, and I am following you on both sides. Girls, please."

Yu Qingfeng and Ding Xiyao entered the prison and headed towards the cell where Kong Shannan and Chuntao were imprisoned.

Turning a corner, Yu Qingfeng saw Lin Ming and two Dali Temple guards talking.

The two Dali Temple guards were sent by Pei Wuyan to guard Kong Shannan and Chuntao together with the Yamen servants. After all, they felt more at ease when they had their own people.

"Master Lin, how are you?" Yu Qingfeng walked towards Lin Ming, stood next to him, and glanced sideways at Kong Shannan, who was leaning on the haystack in the cell not far away with his eyes closed to relax.

"Miss Yu and Miss Ding," Lin Ming waved his hand and dismissed the two guards, "I have just arrived. I just asked the guards about the prisoner's situation, and I haven't had time to interrogate him yet. You are here, you might as well come together."

Yu Qingfeng and Ding Xiyao walked to the cell with Lin Ming and faced Kong Shannan through the fence.

"Kong Shannan, although the one-day time limit has not yet arrived, I think you might figure it out early," Lin Ming asked coldly, "Do you have anything to say?"

Kong Shannan, who was resting on the haystack with his eyes closed, shook slightly, but did not open his eyes to answer.

"Kong Shannan, don't you want Chuntao to survive?" Yu Qingfeng's uneasy feeling became more and more intense. She always felt that there were variables, so she was anxious to confirm the result.

Chuntao in the next cell suddenly sneered, "I told Shannan that I would never live alone. The day he was beheaded was the day I committed suicide and followed him."

"What? Your wishful thinking is to live together?" Yu Qingfeng felt that Chuntao was bargaining with them, "Do you think that Dali Temple pardoned the death penalty for you two?"

Chuntao's eyes were hollow and her heart was still, "Chun Tao has stopped having any wishful thinking. It's enough to be able to spend these days with Shannan in this life as a husband and wife."

Retreating to advance? Yu Qingfeng turned to Lin Ming to seek his advice.

Lin Ming had a straight face and didn't speak.

"It would have been better if you hadn't come. Why did you have to come to investigate the case and destroy our hard-won happiness..."

Chuntao thought to herself, stroking the wall that separated her from Kong Shannan.

Yu Qingfeng looked at Kong Shannan again. He still had his eyes closed, but there were two more lines of tears on his face.

Suddenly, Kong Shannan bit his mouth hard and his cheeks bulged. He made a muffled sound.

The first thought that came to Yu Qingfeng's mind was: bite her tongue and commit suicide.

The most common suicide method in costume dramas is easy and simple to perform, but extremely difficult to implement in practice.

The biggest cause of death from biting off the tongue may be suffocation of blood into the lungs. The rest is painful, and the chance of death from excessive blood loss is so small that it can be ignored.

Yu Qingfeng wanted to see if Kong Shannan in this drama would succeed in the first attempt.

As a result, blood quickly flowed from the corner of Kong Shannan's mouth. He fell to the ground, twitched three or five times, and actually stopped moving.

"Poison in the teeth?" Yu Qingfeng later thought of the suicide method second only to biting the tongue to commit suicide in movies and TV dramas.

"Open the door quickly!" Lin Ming ordered the yamen servant.

When the officer opened the cell door, Lin Ming reached out to stop Yu Qingfeng and Ding Xiyao who were about to rush in.

"You still have to be careful of him cheating to death. I'll go in and you stay outside."

Ding Xiyao directly declined the kindness, "Then I have to go in."

Finally, Lin Ming and Ding Xiyao entered the cell together to check on Kong Shannan.

"Dead." Ding Xiyao quickly concluded, "You were right, he broke his teeth."

Isn't it too professional to hide poison in your teeth? In costume movies and TV dramas, professional people are usually dead warriors!

Wait a minute, Death Soldier!

Doesn’t a dead soldier need any motive to kill someone?

That's why Zhou Lang didn't recognize Kong Shannan and could be easily fooled by him; that's why Kong Shannan confessed easily and wanted to die; that's why Chuntao said that he had no control over his own actions and was so angry at Dali Temple for blocking their happiness.

But isn't it supposed to be the simplest and fastest way for a dead soldier to kill? Why would Kong Shannan choose to use such a complicated strategy to kill people and kill two birds with one stone, hoping to escape unscathed?

When Yu Qingfeng saw Chuntao, her questions were answered.

Because the dead man Kong Shannan was in love, he didn't want to die, he wanted to escape intact after completing the mission and stay with the one he loved.

With a "bang" sound, Chuntao stood up as fast as lightning and slammed into the wall that separated her from Kong Shannan.

Hitting one's head to death is also the most common way to commit suicide under limited conditions.

As expected, Chuntao fulfilled her promise just now, to live together and to die together.

Yu Qingfeng was dumbfounded, it all happened so fast.

Didn't Pei Wuyan say that Kong Shannan was shaken? Wasn't Pei Wuyan very confident that Kong Shannan would explain everything?

The uneasy premonition finally became a reality.

Since Kong Shannan is a dead soldier, Yu Qingfeng cannot regard him as an ordinary murderer, because the sentence "cannot help himself" will inevitably give rise to sympathy.

"We will live together and die together in the same coffin, let's help them." Yu Qingfeng's voice became hoarse and she choked.

After returning to the room, Yu Qingfeng couldn't let go of her worries for a long time.

On the one hand, the tragic suicide was staged twice at close range, which had a great impact on her soul; on the other hand, Yu Qingfeng realized that the main plot had finally arrived.

If you want to survive to the end of the play, you have to solve the mystery of the main plot and compete with the big boss behind the scenes.

Kong Shannan must be the dead man of the big boss. Zhou Lang was once an eunuch, which means that the big boss is most likely also from the palace.

The opponents of the protagonist group are not simple, but if there is a group of dead soldiers, the strangers lurking around may be dead soldiers. It is difficult to guard against them.

And what kind of species is a dead soldier? A tool man who regards death as home, a professional cannon fodder!

Yu Qingfeng made up her mind to be more careful in every step she took, otherwise she would really not even know how she died.

Hug the hero's thigh tightly and hold on for dear life!

"Yu Qingfeng, how are you?"

Pei Wuyan's voice came from outside the door, saying that the hero was about to arrive.

Yu Qingfeng opened the door and saw Pei Wuyan's handsome face again.

"Ding Xiyao said you were probably scared."

Pei Wuyan looked at Yu Qingfeng's face carefully.

"I'm fine, this is just a small scene."

Yu Qingfeng pulled Pei Wuyan into the room and looked around before closing the door, fearing that someone might eavesdrop.

"You want to talk about the dead soldiers, right?"

After Yu Qingfeng closed the door and confirmed that no one was outside the window, Pei Wuyan spoke.

"Do you also think Kong Shannan is a dead soldier?"

Yu Qingfeng was not surprised at all that she and Pei Wuyan coincided with each other. She had long been accustomed to it.

"It must be. The question now is," Pei Wuyan took a step closer and lowered his voice, "why did Kong Shannan change his mind. I am very sure that he was indeed tempted when I traded Chuntao's life with him."

"If you read it correctly, did something unexpected happen?"

"I asked the guards who were guarding them. From the time they were put into prison until Lin Ming and you went to talk to them, no one visited them, not even the clerk who delivered the prison food. Only the two of them.

We talked to each other."

"What did they say?"

Yu Qingfeng sighed in vain: It would be great if there were monitoring and recording equipment. The guard relayed that he would probably ignore key details.

"Although the two couldn't see each other through the wall, they both stretched out their hands on the fence, held each other tightly, and recalled the tenderness and sweetness of these days together. The two seemed to have long since considered death."

"Is it possible that a certain petty official in the county jail is also a dead soldier? If so, there is no need to speak or even look at each other. As long as this petty officer passes by Kong Shannan, Kong Shannan will understand that if he betrays his master,

It’s also difficult for Chuntao to survive. It’s better to die to clarify your ambition. Maybe Chuntao still has a chance of survival. But I didn’t expect that Chuntao would really do what he said..."

"Most likely."

Yu Qingfeng tried hard to recall the introduction and cast and crew list of this B-level web drama.

It's a pity that the introduction doesn't mention who the villain's boss is at all.

When I first looked at the credits, I was just looking to see if there were any familiar actors, but I didn't notice the character names.

Now it's really dark, and I have no idea who the opponent is hidden in the fog.

"Yu Qingfeng." Pei Wuyan said solemnly and sadly.

"What?"

"We must have been targeted by the master of this death warrior group, and the future may be very dangerous."

"I know, but with your protection, Mr. Pei, I have nothing to fear."

Yu Qingfeng seized the opportunity to flatter Pei Wuyan and asked him to clarify his duty to protect her.

"I'm not completely sure that I can protect you. So if you are willing, I can send you to the East Palace. As long as you don't seduce the prince anymore, and live happily as a maid or a female official, you can also find stability for the rest of your life."

Yu Qingfeng stood up in a hurry. Do you want her to return to the plot of S Guwu?

"Believe me, it's safer over there." Pei Wuyan dodged Yu Qingfeng's gaze, lowered his eyes, and added in a soft voice, "I will visit you when I have time."

Yu Qingfeng recalled that when she had just traveled through time, she really wanted to be the heroine in the plot there and cling to the lap of the prince Qi Jinglin until the end of the drama.

It was Pei Wuyan who suddenly appeared and brought her here through the drama.

Now, Pei Wuyan wants to send her back again?

"If you are willing, after the case here is finished, I will go find the prince when I return to the capital..."

"I don't want to." Yu Qingfeng blurted out.

"Why?" Pei Wuyan looked directly into Yu Qingfeng's eyes and asked, as if he was expecting something.

Yu Qingfeng couldn't tell the truth, because the truth was that she felt that she had already established a relationship with Pei Wuyan in the plot here, and if she went there, she would not be able to win over the heroine there, and she would have to be insignificant.

The tool people are likely to be cannon fodder in the future.

"Because...because only in Dali Temple can I use my talents. Going to the East Palace would not be a waste of talent and overuse."

Yu Qingfeng was very satisfied with this reason. But looking at Pei Wuyan's expression, it seemed that he was not satisfied.

Pei Wuyan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Okay, I've asked you anyway. It's your own choice to stay. If one day I fail to protect you, I will have a clear conscience."

This was the first time that Yu Qingfeng had seen such a lack of confidence in the male protagonist. And she thought that Pei Wuyan would be able to persist a little longer. This guy has a straight heart and cannot be polite to him in the future.

"Don't worry, you forgot, I told you that you are blessed with good fortune to protect your body." Yu Qingfeng was confident for Pei Wuyan, the male protagonist.

Pei Wuyan's smile became even bitterer, and he murmured as if he was self-deprecating: "Huh, blessing? Blessing to protect the body?"
