Chapter 169 Millennium
The brief conversation between Zeng Qinghuan and Mo's mother that night was just a rare glimpse of warmth amid the countless swords and bloodbaths that followed.
The struggles in the court are darker and more treacherous than on the battlefield. One can't help but do things against one's will in order to bring down the opponent. Zeng Qinghuan has seen cruel battlefields and corpses everywhere, but those soldiers died honorably for their country and died gloriously. However, it is not like that in the court.
Occasionally, very occasionally, Zeng Qinghuan began to think that it might not be a bad thing for Mo Zhou to leave early. There were some things that Mo Zhou would never do, but Zeng Qinghuan was different.
This is the difference caused by their experience.
By the time everything was settled, Zeng Qinghuan had already become a thorn in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the Regent, but he never expected that they would hate him so much that they wanted to kill him at all costs and even sent their most capable secret guards to kill him at the last moment of the competition.
The martial arts of those secret guards are all top-notch. On the battlefield, each of them can fight against a hundred people alone. However, in the capital, they are just tools for the Queen Mother and the Regent to consolidate their power, make money and eliminate dissidents.
The so-called people's livelihood is of no concern to them.
There was always fat on their table.
Zeng Qinghuan tried his best to kill four of them. When there was only one left, the other party held down the already exhausted Zeng Qinghuan and forced him to drink poisoned wine - both the Regent and the Queen Mother wanted Zeng Qinghuan to die in the most painful way.
The glass of wine was swaying in the candlelight, like a handful of moon. Zeng Qinghuan saw Mo Zhou in the reflection. That was Mo Zhou sitting on the wall when he was young. The boy had a high ponytail and sharp eyebrows. The wind blew his ponytail away, and he looked particularly high-spirited in the moonlight.
At that time, Mo Zhou kept Zeng Qinghuan under the moonlight in his heart, and Zeng Qinghuan at that time also kept Mo Zhou under the moonlight in his heart.
Zeng Qinghuan smiled when he thought of Mo Zhou… Zeng Qinghuan actually left with a smile. Even though the cup of poisoned wine was stirring his internal organs, a smile would appear on his face when he thought of Mo Zhou.
Later, when the young emperor ascended the throne, he learned that Mozhou had been murdered. He was heartbroken at the loss of a pillar of the country. He briefly thought of the secret decree, but the person was gone. He thought that Zeng Qinghuan had died on the battlefield for several years, and now that he had just secured his position, the less trouble the better.
In the end, Mo Zhou will be given full honors after his death.

It is said that after a person dies, his soul can stay in the world for seven days. Zeng Qinghuan originally thought this was false, but when he really stayed in the world as a soul, he thought again, it turned out to be true.
Thinking of this, he really couldn't laugh anymore.
He thought of Mo Zhou. Did Mo Zhou have looked at him like this for seven days?
During the seven days, Zeng Qinghuan saw the extremely grieving Mo parents, saw Zhuiyun who refused to eat or drink, and also saw the general's mansion and the streets of the capital where she and Mo Zhou grew up together countless times.
Until the last day, Zeng Qinghuan waited quietly in the general's mansion, and waited for the ghost messenger from the underworld to arrive.
The ghost messengers came together, both of them looked very anxious. Zeng Qinghuan thought that there had been a change of power in the capital recently and many people had died, so it was no wonder that they were so busy.
"Lao Hei, has the higher-ups dealt with it?"
"It's said to be a very tricky situation. Those two were extremely evil people when they were alive, and they used evil magic to turn themselves into that appearance after they died. Now they are looking for Mozhou's soul for revenge. Mozhou is almost due to be reincarnated, and now this..." said another ghost.
Zeng Qinghuan understood everything instantly, and his expression looked uglier than a ghost.
Two ghost messengers who had seen his life story came up to him and asked respectfully, "You must be Zeng Qinghuan, your name is on the Book of Life and Death, come with us. After a person dies, everything goes back to the way it was. No matter how many obsessions he has, they will all disappear after drinking Mengpo soup..."
The Yinchai instilled the following rules into Zeng Qinghuan according to the usual work process.
Who would have thought that Zeng Qinghuan would suddenly resist, turned around to get rid of the chain, and said coldly: "I don't want to reincarnate!"
Seeing that he was about to run away, the ghost was unwilling to do so and did not bother to be polite. The three ghosts started fighting each other.
Zeng Qinghuan was a general before his death, and he was a very powerful ghost after becoming a ghost. In no time, he subdued the two ghost messengers and headed towards Luofengpo.
Luofengpo is the place where the traitor Regent and the Queen Mother were executed. Zeng Qinghuan wants to find those two ghosts for fear that they will disturb Mozhou's path to reincarnation.
Zeng Qinghuan saw the Regent and the Queen Mother after they had performed evil magic at Luofengpo. Even though he was knowledgeable, he was shocked for a moment. At the same time, he was more determined not to let them hinder Mozhou's reincarnation.
After going to the underworld, Mo Zhou must drink Meng Po soup so that he can wait for reincarnation. In this case, let Mo Zhou forget everything. It is better than not seeing him sad in the underworld.
Zeng Qinghuan rushed forward and started attacking. The Queen Mother and the Regent didn't know where this mad dog came from and why it was biting people indiscriminately. They could only fight back. Later they found that this ghost was actually very formidable. After a fight, the weather on Luofengpo changed color and dark clouds gathered.
At this time, a hermit who lived on Luofengpo came and after realizing the situation, he wanted to help Zeng Qinghuan who had not fallen into the path of evil spirits. However, the hermit was a half-baked one and could only trap them together at most, but could not separate them who were in a stalemate.
During the fight, Zeng Qinghuan realized that he was one step behind and would easily be defeated, so he let the hermit take action without hesitation.
In the end, the hermit followed Zeng Qinghuan's wishes and placed the magical instruments that sealed them in the rockery of the general's mansion. This was the place where Mo Zhou and Zeng Qinghuan often played hide-and-seek when they were young. Zeng Qinghuan even found an unexpected surprise in the corner.
It was a small wooden horse carved out of mahogany, carved by Mo Zhou himself, in order to cheer up Zeng Qinghuan who was sulking at the time. But later, the small wooden horse was lost, and Zeng Qinghuan was sad about it for a long time.
Now that I think about it, it turned out to have fallen into the rockery and had been there for many years.
For a thousand years, Zeng Qinghuan faced his lifelong enemy day and night, restraining each other.
I also learned that when they performed that evil magic, they had vowed to destroy Mozhou's soul, otherwise he would suffer excruciating pain day and night.
However, they never imagined that people a thousand years later would develop the General's Mansion into a tourist attraction for countless tourists to visit.
One day, the magic weapon they were trapped in was discovered and picked up by an impatient "tourist". The girl was an ordinary-looking girl with madness in her eyes. She couldn't unlock the magic weapon, but threw a green bone into it.
The Queen Mother and the Regent obtained the bone and then completely suppressed Zeng Qinghuan.
Finally one day, they broke the seal of the magic weapon and trapped Zeng Qinghuan again. They began to look for Mo Zhou's reincarnation everywhere, wanting to break the oath that they made in order to practice evil magic, which had tortured them for thousands of years.
The reason why they didn't kill Zeng Qinghuan directly was that they wanted to make this pair of desperate mandarin ducks who had deceived them for so long die a more miserable and desperate death, in order to repay them for the torture they had suffered in the past thousand years.
At the beginning, they swore with hatred that they had to make Mo Zhou's soul fly away in order to relieve the pain that pierced their bones day and night. Who knew that the Mo Zhou they thought was within their grasp was Zeng Qinghuan, and the real Mo Zhou had already gone to the underworld.
Later, Zeng Qinghuan came to them again... Because everything was going wrong, they became more and more crazy.
