One hundred and twentieth chapters daughter country (24)
Rong Qiqi walked around the yard several times before he saw the weeping willow in the corner.
Because it was late autumn, all the willow leaves turned yellow, and when the cold wind blew, they all fell to the ground. There was a willow branch hanging to the ground against the wall. When I got closer, I saw a face hanging on it.
Zong Baorui used countless willow branches to surround Kang Chonghua's body, leaving only his face hanging on the willow tree.
The weight of Kang Chonghua's body was obviously heavier than the willow leaves, so the willow tree fell towards the body. Part of the trunk pressed on Kang Chonghua's body, denting his face. One side of his face was gray and half was purple, which looked very scary.
Rong Qiqi has heard of this method of preserving corpses. "Liu" is a homophonic word for "liu". Throughout the ages, many literati and poets have expressed their farewells and chants. The willow tree not only retains the living, but also "retains" the dead.
Wrapping the corpse with willow branches can preserve the corpse more intactly for a longer period of time. Of course, it is impossible to rely only on ordinary willow branches. The willow branches that have the effect of preserving the corpse must have strong resentment.
Generally speaking, only willow trees that grow all year round in cemeteries are filled with resentment. Rong Qiqi guessed that this willow tree was probably transplanted from which cemetery Zong Baorui came from.
Zong Baorui's perverted and cruel methods left Kang Chonghua, but she regarded him as her work. She admired this work of art through her bedroom window every day.
To deal with a disobedient man like Kang Chonghua, but Zong Baorui likes him so much. She hates and likes him at the same time, so it is better to kill him and leave only this handsome face for her to admire.
The dead are the most obedient people.
Regarding Zong Baorui's changing mentality, Rong Qiqi only felt aversion to the cold.
Rong Qiqi cut off the willow branches on Kang Chonghua's body. Without the restraints of the willow branches, the body parts inside fell one after another on the grass, with only his head still hanging on the willow branches.
Kang Chonghua's head, limbs, and body were all separated, and a large pool of blood fell with the body parts.
Rong Qiqi felt like he had popped a giant blood bubble, "Bang -" the blood sprayed on the corpse, covering the original color of the corpse.
Rong Qiqi twisted a little of the thick blood and smelled it.
I thought it could still be used.
She drew a talisman with her bloody fingers on the arm scratched by Kang Chonghua. The slightly dark blood formed a sharp contrast with her thin lotus-like forearm, and the place where the talisman was drawn looked like it had been cut by a knife.
, following the rune patterns, the skin and flesh at those locations are unfolded.
But in the blink of an eye, the black and red blood melted into Rong Qiqi's flesh and blood.
Rong Qiqi drew the corpse's blood to his shoulder, pulled off a whole sleeve, and made a cross wound on his shoulder with his fingernails. The black blood flowed out from the wound again until blood of normal color flowed out.
Rong Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Qiqi meditated for a moment, slowly exhaling the turbid air in his body, and his whole body felt refreshed.
For the past few days, she couldn't lift her hands or walk her legs. Rong Qiqi almost felt like she was disabled.
But it's different now, she has turned back into the omnipotent Rong Qiqi!
Rong Qiqi randomly found a piece of cloth in Zong Baorui's bedroom and wrapped the slimy corpses. She would not forget the one hanging on the tree.
After placing the soul ring, Rong Qiqi went into the palace to meet Xu Hun.
They had agreed before that Xu Hun would go into the palace to monitor Zong Baorui, while she would stay in the general's mansion to look for the body.
Now that everything is going well on her side, it depends on how Xu Hun's progress is going.
After Rong Qiqi recovered, she walked with a breeze, and her body was as light as possible. She ate and shopped along the way and was not in a hurry to go to the palace.
The most important thing was that she changed her clothes first.
Kang Chonghua killed, no, ate so many people. In addition to revenge, he also had another more important purpose, which was to take back his own body.
Eating the corpses of King Nanjiang and Deng Yan is a way to replenish his resentment. Only when Kang Chonghua's resentment is stronger than the willow tree can he get what he wants.
Rong Qiqi only figured this out after seeing the willow tree.
Rong Qiqi had what Kang Chonghua wanted most, so she didn't worry about not finding him at all.
So it's not too late to go after she eats some delicious food and replenishes her body.
Rong Qiqi was eating rice cakes at a stall when Xu Hun's anxious voice suddenly came to his ears, "Master, there is a change in the palace, come quickly."
Rong Qiqi opened her mouth to ask, but there was only a murmur on the other side, so she had to rush to the palace.
Where the coffin of King Nanjiang was originally placed, the coffin of the Queen was now parked. Zong Baorui was pushed out to take charge of the overall situation, and the ministers below were arguing with each other.
"The late emperor only had one daughter. If the queen's position is not given to the princess, who should I give it to? Should it be given to you?"
"You - you are not ashamed to say that the late emperor did not appoint a princess. Since the founding of the country in ancient times, the king must be chosen based on the virtuous. Mr. Yan has a daughter who is the sister of the late emperor and the king of Beiduan. The prince has outstanding talents and wins the hearts of the people. With her talents,
If you are in charge, you should support the King of the North End."
There were constant arguments in front of the Queen's funeral. Seeing the group of ministers who showed no condolences, Zong Baorui scolded: "That's enough! The late Emperor's body is still cold. Is this how you keep vigil for the late Emperor?"
Someone who was not afraid of death came out and said: "General Zong, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The hearts of humble ministers are tied to the fate of the country, and there is no disrespect to the late emperor. You are here, general. There are rumors that the general has plans to usurp the throne.
Is it true that today's efforts to prevent ministers from discussing the throne are just like the rumors?"
Zong Baorui sneered, "It seems that I am so talkative on weekdays that you all forget my rules."
"Come here! Those who commit crimes below Vanke Hua will be executed in Lingchi and buried with His Majesty."
Zong Baorui said the last two words very hard. She took over the military power. Once she said these words, no one dared to speak out.
Rong Qiqi and Xu Hun were still standing in the same place - the corner. She said dissatisfiedly: "This is the 'change in the palace' you said. Where is the 'change'?"
Xu Hun didn't feel guilty at all, "The palace change is such a wonderful scene that you can miss it like this."
He didn't admit that he wanted to see Rong Qiqi quickly.
Whoever asked this man to cure his illness did not give him any assurance, leaving him to worry alone here.
Rong Qiqi recalled the bowl of hot steamer cake and wanted to scold Xu Hun, but Xu Hun said: "Where is Zong Baorui? He was still here just now."
Rong Qiqi glanced around and found only the group of ministers still kneeling in the mourning hall. Zong Baorui, who was kneeling at the front, was nowhere to be seen.
A familiar smell floated into Rong Qiqi's nose, and she said with a serious expression, "Kang Chonghua has been here."
"Did he kidnap Zong Baorui? From King Nanjiang to Deng Yan to the Queen, the last one is Zong Baorui." Xu Hun went through the people killed by Kang Chonghua and asked Rong Qiqi a question seriously.
: "To save or not to save?"
To save Zong Baorui, they will have to interfere in the affairs of the human world.
If you don't save it, it won't be a big problem.
To save or not to save is a matter of willingness rather than obligation.
Rong Qiqi thought for two seconds, "Let's take a look and then talk."
Xu Hun stretched out his hand and high-fived Rong Qiqi, "I agree."
The two of them chased their grievances all the way out, but unexpectedly Kang Chonghua came to the general's mansion again. This chapter has been completed!
