After the retired judge enters the escape game

Chapter 208 I'll Pick You Up

The accident happened unexpectedly, Qi Wuguo didn't remember it, nor did he expect Duan Li to end his life in such a way.

Taking advantage of Chao Gang's chaos, the barbarians outside the pass harassed the border frequently.

On the side of Duan Liqing, he killed the courtiers, welcomed the new emperor, and immediately led the army back to the border. It took three years to completely break up the barbarians.

The barbarians were broken into several small tribes and fled to the bitterly cold place in the extreme north. It will not be difficult to recover after decades.

It was after Duan Li's triumphant return that he returned to the border town mansion. After the celebration banquet that night, he vomited blood and fell on the bed.

The disease was so fierce that the military doctor had nothing to do about it. Even his subordinates recruited famous doctors in the local area, and even went to the customs to seek medical treatment, but they still couldn't stop Duan Lu's life from passing.

One month later, King Anbei, who was so powerful in the world, died of illness in the border town.

Even when he was seriously ill, he never violated his promise and stepped into the pass.

Duan Li died on the eve of the coming spring at the border gate. It was cold in the late spring, and there was another heavy snowfall at the border gate which was already a little green.

Duan Li asked people to move him from the bed to the slum by the window, and then asked people to open the tightly closed window.

The soldier who was doing the work wanted to persuade him, but Duan Li gave him a stare back.

Even if he was seriously ill, King Anbei was still the same King Anbei, with hostility and evil spirit all over his body, and no one dared to say a word after just one glance.

After everything was settled, Duan Li waved his hand to let everyone back out, and he leaned on the bed and looked out of the window quietly.

The house is very quiet, as if you can hear the sound of snow falling outside.

Qi Wuguo sat on the window sill, with one leg bent, and the other hanging casually out of the window.

He glanced at Duan Li's somewhat thin face, and from the eyes of the other party who was still clear in his illness, he saw that Duan Li's fire of life was about to be extinguished.

It seems that tonight is the end.

Qi Wuguo can't stop anything, and he can't stop it either.

These days, he thought carefully about the development of things.

Duan Li's serious illness should be due to poisoning.

Secret medicine in the palace.After Duan Li left the capital, the medicine was slowly added to his diet, and the day when the border was completely calmed down would be the time for the toxins accumulated before to explode.

Duan Li just looked at Xue silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qi Wuguo turned his head, looked out the window, and said, "The snow here is as beautiful as ever."

He thought that talking to himself would be the same as every time before, without any response.

Unexpectedly, Duan Li said: "Mr., as long as you like it, I know you will like the snow at the border, and the moon at the border. Compared with the capital city, this snow, this month is much purer."

Qi Wuguo was startled, and turned his head abruptly, only to see that Duan Li's eyes had begun to loosen.

It seems that when the other party is dying, one foot has stepped over the boundary of life and death, and he can see himself.

Qi Wuguo smiled and said, "I like it very much."

Duan Li stretched out his hand to Qi Wuguo, smiled with some difficulty, and said, "Sir, are you here to pick me up?"

Qi Wuguo got up, sat down beside Duan Li, and held his hand.

"Well, I'll pick you up."

Duan Li looked at him blankly for a moment, then said: "I..."

He didn't finish a sentence, but there was no more text.

Qi Wuguo didn't move, just held the opponent's hand so quietly, as if patiently waiting for Duan Li to finish speaking.

It wasn't until the heavy snow outside the window stopped that he sighed and raised his hand to brush Duan Li's eyes.

As a ghost messenger, how could Qi Wuguo not know that Duan Li stopped breathing before he finished that sentence.

He brushed his palm over Duan Li's eyes, helping him to close them.Just as Qi Wuguo's hand was about to leave, a hand grabbed his wrist.

Qi Wuguo watched Duan Li open his eyes, or rather, it was only his soul that opened his eyes.

He opened his eyes, his eyes were dull, and his expression was a little dazed.

Qi Wuguo knew that he was still in the chaotic period when he just died, and he was not rational.

For Xingjun, after death, the soul will return to its place directly after regaining clarity.During this period, Duan Li had a little trouble and did not return to his position.

He saw Duan Li leaving from his body, and after standing there for a while, a black vortex suddenly appeared from the gray soul.

This is, infected with malicious debris?

Qi Wuguo was shocked, he raised his hand and wanted to pull out the strand of black malicious fragments.

Although the soul is in a chaotic state, instinctively it will not allow such behavior to occur.

Qi Wuguo's wrist was grabbed, he didn't lift his head, and said: "It's me."

Duan Li didn't respond, but let go of his hand.

Qi Wuguo pulled out the strand of black malicious fragments, only to find that another fragment soon condensed in Duan Li's body.

And Duan Li's soul, also under the influence of the malicious fragments, gradually changed from gray to thicker in color.

Everything in front of me is what happened in the past.

The reason why Duan Li failed to return to his place may be related to the infection of malicious fragments.But as the Pojun Xingjun, Duan Li's soul is completely different from that of ordinary people, and it is impossible to be infected so easily.

Qi Wuguo frowned, and quickly sorted out this memory in his mind.Soon, he found a scene that might lead to Duan Li being maliciously infected.

Tanlang Xingjun was beheaded by Duan Li himself. Before Tanlang Xingjun died, he whispered a few words in Duan Li's ear.

Qi Wuguo didn't hear the content of these words, but from everything in front of him, he can probably guess the reason.

At this time, the Heavenly Dao was weak, and the Tanlang Xingjun posed Duan Ruo before his death.He planted a seed in Duan Li's heart with words, probably related to this matter.

Perhaps what Lord Greedy Wolf Star said was that sentence: "The bird is as good as the bow..."

But with Duan Li's heart, it shouldn't be so easy to be infected by maliciousness just because of a single sentence.Maybe there are other things that were pushed to the new emperor by Tanlang Xingjun.

Maybe Tanlang Xingjun also hinted that the killing of Qi Wuguo and the massacre of the village were all done by the new emperor.

Duan Li, who is in a sober state, naturally would not believe these nonsense.

The new emperor did kill Duan Li, but also for the sake of the overall situation.

Although Ziwei Emperor Star is destined to belong, but at this sensitive moment in front of him.The imperial court was controlled by powerful officials, causing the country to be shattered and the country to be broken.

Although the courtiers who have troubled the court have been killed and most of their party members have been cut off, there are still some officials and aristocratic families who are waiting and watching in the court.

Most of the soldiers and horses in the world are now in the hands of Duan Li.

These officials still do not believe that anyone can resist the temptation to hold the world in their hands.It is human nature to be wise and protect one's life.

However, the attitude of this part of officials and aristocratic families is a great obstacle to the new emperor's plan to clear the court and implement the New Deal.

What the new emperor has to do must be to concentrate all the power in his own hands, so that he can prepare for the implementation of the New Deal to reshape the country.

Ming Jun has always been a person with a firm mind and a ruthless means, because in their hearts, the world and the overall situation are always the first.

As for Duan Li, even if the new emperor is grateful to him, maybe he knows in his heart that he has no desire for this position, but for the sake of the overall situation of the world, he must die.

So, after the north was settled, Duan Li died.

Afterwards, the news of King Anbei's sudden illness and death will spread to the capital. Since then, King Anbei's name will go down in history, and he will be buried with the ceremony of a prince and enjoy unlimited honor.

The story behind this period of history will naturally be quietly erased.

As for the killing of Qi Wuguo by Tucun, of course the new emperor would not do it, and Duan Li, who is awake, would not believe these nonsense.

Tanlang Xingjun should have seen the key point at the beginning. Before he died, he had already awakened, so he planted that seed in Duan Li's heart with Xingjun's power.

At that time, the Dao of Heaven had begun to become weak, and the control over many things was not so strong.Tanlang Xingjun will restore Xingjun's ability before he dies, and he will give Duan Li a slap in the face.

At the moment of death, Duan Li's soul fell into a chaotic state and lost all reason.At this moment, the seeds planted by Tanlang Xingjun exploded, Duan Li was controlled by his obsession, and malice arose in his heart.

Qi Wuguo saw that Duan Li was getting more and more infected, and he couldn't predict what unpredictable effects Xingjun would have after being infected.

He flipped his palm subconsciously, and the judge's pen appeared in his hand.

The situation is urgent, Qi Wuguo can only temporarily bind Duan Li's soul to himself if he wants to suppress the malice in Duan Li's body.

He raised his pen and counted points on Duan Li's heart, and a black and red chain appeared from Duan Li's body, connecting to Qi Wuguo's soul.

Black mist lingered above the chains, but there were faint golden rays of light shining.Although the golden light is weak, it tightly confines the black mist in a very small space in Duan Ruo's body, so that it does not spread out.

Qi Wuguo didn't realize it until he had done everything. When he encountered this situation, he did the same thing.He also used his merits and virtues to temporarily suppress the malice in Duan Li's soul.

Although Qi Wuguo didn't remember these things, they were things he had experienced, so he naturally knew what to do.

I used to do the same thing.

This malice originated from the depths of Duan Li's soul, and he could only rely on himself to completely purify it.

Qi Wuguo decided that in the following days, he would take Duan Li to travel all over the world to see Haiyan and Heqing.

He took Duan Li out of the barracks, but did not leave the border.

He stayed in the border town with Duan Li for a period of time, and the news of King Anbei's death soon spread throughout the border.He has guarded the border for these years, so that the people at the border will not be invaded by foreign races, and they can live and work in peace.

When he heard the news of King Anbei's death, almost the whole city mourned.

When King Anbei's coffin entered the pass and returned to the capital, all the people in the border pass put on sackcloth and mourning by themselves, and the people who sent him lined up from inside the city to outside the city, and there was no end to it.

Qi Wuguo took Duan Li and stood at the highest place above the city gate.

He was sitting and Duan Li was standing.

"How about it?"

Qi Wuguo pointed to the endless crowd, and said, "At least the people at the border gates remember you in their hearts."

Duan Li just looked into the distance, without any expression on his face, nor did he speak.

His current soul is still in a state of chaos, not rational.

Qi Wuguo glanced at Duan Li standing beside him like a sculpture, sighed and said, "Oh, you couldn't see me before, but now you see me, but you don't realize it, when will you be able to talk to yourself?" Finish."

The army responsible for delivering the coffin of King Anbei had disappeared on the horizon, and Duan Li didn't seem to have changed much.

Qi Wuguo wasn't discouraged, of course it wasn't that easy.

He stood up and said, "Let's go. In your whole life, although you once held thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in your palm, you never looked at them carefully."

Qi Wuguo raised his hand and opened his palm to Duan Li: "I will take you to see the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that you once guarded."

Duan Li lowered his head slowly and looked at Qi Wuguo's palm for a long time.

Just when Qi Wuguo was about to pull the opponent's hand directly, he raised his hand and shook Qi Wuguo's hand.

Qi Wuguo and Duan Li stayed in Yangshi for another ten years. During these ten years, the two walked from the border to the south of the Yangtze River, from the desert to the island.

Every time I go to a place, I will live for a while.

They saw that the world has gradually changed from broken mountains and rivers to Haiyan and rivers, and the people have gradually changed from struggling to survive to living and working in peace and contentment.

The malice in Duan Ruo's body is gradually fading, and finally there is only a faint trace left.

It's just that that trace never disappeared, and Duan Li didn't regain his senses, he was always in a state of chaos.

Qi Wuguo didn't feel disappointed, he knew that they should go to the last destination.

This last destination is neither outside the pass nor inside the pass, and it is not even in the yang world.

Qi Wuguo took Duan Li to Fengdu City.

This is a city belonging to the dead, and the city is full of souls waiting to be reincarnated.

Now that Duan Li's soul is bound to Qi Wuguo, he can bring Duan Li in without being suspected, and with Qi Wuguo's special status, it is naturally more worry-free.

The ghosts waiting to be reincarnated in Fengdu City live the same life as when they were in the yang world, but in fact there is not much difference.

Qi Wuguo fought with Duan Li for several years, and knew the generals and soldiers who died beside him very well.

He led Duan Li into Fengdu City very smoothly, and got a list from the ghost messenger of Fengdu City.

The city of Fengdu is very large, and after the ghosts enter the underworld to be judged, except for those ghosts who will enter the Eighteen Hells for punishment, the rest will live in the city for a period of time.

Qi Wuguo led Duan Li into an alley.

In the underworld of the Yin Dynasty, all the fame, fortune and wealth in the world are emptied, and the ghosts in it all live in the houses uniformly allocated by the Fengdu Yamen.

The places where these ghosts live are registered and recorded for easy management.Generally speaking, the souls that died at similar times lived in adjacent houses.

The booklet in Qi Wuguo's hand recorded in detail who lived in these houses, what family background they would invest in, and what kind of fate they would have.

This is naturally a secret of the underworld that he created by virtue of his status as a judge. Qi Wuguo is a person who does not follow the rules, so he does not have any burden on his mind when doing these things.

He took Duan Li and met Duan Li's former subordinates who lived in the middle of Fengdu City.

These subordinates who died on the battlefield were always Duan Li's close comrades-in-arms, and Duan Li would naturally remember their whereabouts.

In the end, Qi Wuguo took Duan Li to see the villagers who died in the fire that year. Some villagers had already reincarnated, and some were still waiting in Fengdu.

Among them are a few of Duan Li's friends, they still look like carefree children.They have completely forgotten what happened back then, and they lived the same life in Fengdu City as they did in the village, just waiting to start a new life.

Qi Wuguo turned his head and saw Duan Li looking at those children with no expression on his face but focused.

He smiled, knowing that this trip was quite productive.

After a long time, the children returned home.Qi Wuguo pulled Duan Li, ready to leave, but found that he couldn't pull it.

When he turned his head, he saw Duan Li looking around blankly, as if he was looking for someone.

It was rare for Qi Wuguo to see him reacting so violently, so he couldn't help being curious: "What? Who are you looking for?"

Duan Li didn't speak, but stood where he was, unwilling to leave.

During this period of time, Duan Li has always been quite obedient, wherever Qi Wuguo went, he would follow.

This is the first time to show a strong self-will, Qi Wuguo raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't tell me, don't tell me, but I took you away by force?"

It is a good thing that Duan Li responds to the outside world. If he can restore his own will, it will be extremely beneficial to eliminate the infection.

After Qi Wuguo finished speaking, he stared at Duan Li's face for a moment, and saw that the other party didn't respond at all.

He turned around and made a gesture to leave.

"First, first..."

Duan Li finally squeezed out a few words, Qi Wuguo was taken aback for a moment, and then covered his face.

He was silent for a moment, and then suppressed the sour feeling in his heart, smiled, and said, "Silly boy, your husband has always been with you."

Qi Wuguo walked up to Duan Li, supported the back of Duan Li's neck with one hand, and pressed his forehead against it.

The distance between the two was so close that their breaths intertwined.

Qi Wuguo opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "I know your five senses are not clear right now, if you get closer, can you see clearly?"

Duan Li didn't speak, but his tense body relaxed slightly, as if he had already realized something.

When Qi Wuguo led him away from Fengdu City, the other party didn't resist anymore.

Qi Wuguo originally planned to leave the underworld directly, but changed his mind after this little episode happened.

What Er Bao knew was always a one-sided Qi Wu Guo.Although he didn't hide himself when he lived with Erbao.

But he appeared in the role of a scholar, and he never revealed everything about ghosts and the real Qi Wuguo to Erbao.

Until now, the former Erbao always admired Qi Wuguo as the most important person in his life.

Qi Wuguo could guess what he was thinking at the beginning, and he naturally didn't develop the same feelings for Duan Li back then as he does now.

After all, when the two first met, Duan Li was just a baby in his arms.

When they met again, Duan Li couldn't see Qi Wu Guo.Qi Wuguo just followed him out of curiosity about the child he had taken care of for several years.

In the past few years, the former Qi Wuguo has been a ghost who has experienced thousands of years, so naturally he will not have emotions other than curiosity.

After that, Duan Li refused to return to the throne, and Qi Wuguo was condemned by heaven for this incident, and almost disappeared.

It should all start now.

Perhaps it was because of this "Sir" that Qi Wuguo finally had a different mood, and decided to take Duan Li to further understand his identity.

At that time, Qi Wuguo should have made this decision in order to let Duan Li get rid of his obsession.

After all, at first he saved Duan Li, and later died because of Duan Li, it was all due to the arrangements and missions of heaven.After the other party knows this, they will eliminate their obsessions, stop being trapped by what they are doing, and choose to return to their positions after regaining their sanity.

But later, I don't know what happened, and the two of them became different.

In short, following this line of thought step by step, Qi Wuguo will be able to see with his own eyes what happened back then.
