Haiyan

Outside the pitch-black city of Kyoto, iron hooves surged, murderous intent transpired.

A team of hundreds of war horses galloped from the old and quiet ancient road. The ground trembled violently in the strong wind, and the dust was rolled up all over the ground. Seeing it clearly, I heard an arrow shooting towards it, and with a sound of 'Duo', it passed through the dark night and landed directly on the thick gate of Kyoto.

"The Lord Protector is back, hurry up and open the city gate!"

In the darkness, the heavy and hoarse sound of opening and closing sounded together with the sound of horseshoes and wind, and the uniform team galloped across the spacious corridor, tearing the entire silent long street apart in an instant.

The night was dark, iron hooves overwhelmed the strange roar of the strong wind, like a wild beast that had been drunk out of its cage and dug out a deep ravine, the stars and the moon were dark, only the long lanterns on the palace gates and walls of the Western Han Dynasty were lit all night.

At this moment, Mengjiao stood quietly outside the palace gate, followed by ten armored slaves wearing khaki cloaks, feeling more and more intense shaking from his feet, the next moment, the young general stepped forward , when the leader reined in his horse and stopped, he respectfully said: "General!"

The man who was called general looked to be about forty years old. He was wearing pure black sand leather soft armor. He was unusually tall. Treacherous, obviously displeased and said in a deep voice: "Why did you come out, where are the others in Gyeonggi Hall?"

Meng Jian looked at the ground with his eyes, and his tone was calm: "General Hongying is temporarily unable to come due to something. Little General Liang is waiting for the general with His Highness Fifth Highness in the Promise Hall at the moment. As for the others, the subordinates are not very clear."

Immediately snorted, his voice was cold: "I would be surprised if he could come... You said my son Liang Xiao is in the Wuji Hall?"

Meng rape: "Yes."

The moment he turned over and got off the horse, the cold armor on his body made a soft sound, and the rein was thrown casually. The middle-aged man said without looking back: "Take the team back to Daliuying, and tell Li Su to catch up in a quarter of an hour. Come see me in the Palace of Promise."

Inadvertently glanced at Liang Guoying's receding back, the murderous intent in his eyes was fleeting.

Perhaps starting from tonight, the city of Kyoto is destined to no longer be stable.

Chang Sheng didn't care about the scene just now, reached out to wipe off the remaining water stains on his face, and lifted the heavy quilt on his body, he got up and looked out along the crack of the door, the whole courtyard was empty , only a few big trees in the center were swaying vigorously by the wind.

Wutong Garden is the other courtyard that Li Su placed outside Taiwei's Mansion. He was used to living here alone when he was a child, but he seldom went back. Before going to Yebei, there were three people in Wutong Garden. No. [-], Li Su is a very particular person, and he pays special attention to some small things, but when he came back after those few months in Yebei, some things had changed a lot.

First, all the servants inside and outside the mansion were sent away, leaving only some older homeless old people to serve here.

As an old man, he tends to be careless most of the time. If he does something wrong, Li Su won't say much. You know, he used to be a person who would be punished and executed if someone said a wrong sentence. I don't know whether it is good or bad.

The yard was pitch black, and the sound of the wind covered the sound of footsteps. Changsheng searched for a long time before he found out through the back door of Wutong Garden. He knew that at this moment, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness——

Whether it's Wei Shuyou's people or Li Su's people.

As if confirming Chang Sheng's thoughts, after a while, the door of Li Su's study was pushed open, and the man in black said with a cold air, "My lord, the person who was watching ran away."

Li Su frowned, put down the official document in his hand, and asked, "What do you mean by running away?"

The man in black said, "It looks like it's heading towards Wang Ting."

Li Su said displeased: "Where are the people following him?"

The man in black was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Those people have been protecting him in secret. Our people don't dare to stare too hard, because they are easy to be discovered."

Li Su suddenly sneered: "Do you think they really didn't find you?!"

The man in black bowed his head on one knee: "Please punish the Lord!"

Li Su waved his hands and said, "Wei Shuyou sent so many people to watch behind him. Both of you know about each other's existence, but Wei Shuyou didn't take any action. It seems that he wants to be with me."

The man in black didn't know what he was talking about, and asked, "Do you want to stop it?"

Li Su shook his head, pondered for a while, and said, "No need, just let people watch, and report back in time if there is anything to do."

Chang Sheng wandered around the capital city in the dark, patrolling guards coming and going all the way, managed to escape the patrol, stood outside the palace, looking at the solemn and solemn hall, only felt that his eyes were within reach for a while. A dark ghost with withered vines.

Ten years later, he finally stood here. In an instant, the stormy memories in his mind intertwined one by one, like the shrill wind passing by his ears at this moment, blowing everything around him clean.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, with his raised thumb pointing down, half-closed his eyes, pointed his fingertips at the highest palace, and sneered.

For all the people in the Zhao family, he will make them pay the price they deserve.

Including those participants who have been together, no one can escape.

At the gate of the palace, there was still the murderous aura left by a large number of army horses shouting past just now. In the darkness, Chang Sheng made a gesture in midair, and saw a black shadow standing in front of him in an instant. After communicating for a while, Chang Sheng disappeared under the leadership of the man in black.

The person Li Su was staring at quickly lost his target, and after failing to find it, he hurried back to report.

There was silence outside Daliu Camp, after Meng Jian had just settled down the returned team, he told his armored slaves: "You stay in the camp tonight, if you have anything to do, come to Jingji Hall to tell me, if I'm not here, you Come to the Promise Hall."

The hood on the armored slave's head seemed to have never been taken off, and he asked doubtfully, "The captain is going back so late?"

Meng Jian nodded: "The third lord just came back from Liaocheng, General Hongying is not here, I have to go to Wuji Hall to wait."

There was a hint of anger in the armored slave's tone: "General Hongying has always been unruly. The third prince just came back today. He is fine. No one knows where he went."

Meng Jian said: "It's not a day or two since he has been disobedient, that's fine, just now the Third Duke has ordered someone to pass him on, and he will enter the palace in a while."

The entire Daliu Camp is very heavily guarded. Since 20 years ago, Liang Guoying has taken full control of the place. However, ten years ago, after being imprisoned for a year, the popularity of Daliu Camp was far less than before. In the past five years, things have gradually started to flourish again.

At the gate of the camp, Meng Jian winked at the two armored slaves following him, the two understood, and immediately went forward to greet the soldiers guarding the gate, Meng Jian dodged to hide in the darkness, Chang Sheng had been waiting here for a long time.

"Are you sure you're going tonight?" Under the night, Mengjiao asked him in a low voice against the wind.

Chang Sheng said: "I have been waiting for this day for ten years, and I don't want to wait any longer."

Mengjiao paused, and said: "But Liang Guoying is back tonight, and he is already in the Wuji Hall. If you alarm him, I'm afraid you will be in danger."

Chang Sheng frowned and asked, "Isn't he still in Liaocheng?"

Meng Jian said: "I also got the news an hour ago. I was originally scheduled to come back in three days. I didn't expect it to be so soon. Li Su probably didn't know...Changsheng, do you want to come back?" Think about it."

Chang Sheng let out a breath and asked, "So why did he come back early?"

Meng Jie said: "At the moment I don't really know, but it won't be a good thing for him to come back. For the first half month, he has been collecting land for Zhao Yuqiang in Liaocheng. When I just came out of the palace, Zhao Yuqiang was waiting for him in the Wuji Hall. From what I see, there should be something urgent to discuss with him."

Chang Sheng pursed his lips and did not say a word, Meng Jian continued to ask: "Chang Sheng, we have a lot of time in the future, don't be in a hurry."

Yes, there is a lot of time in the future. After waiting for ten years, he still cares about this day or two?

But there is always a thorn in his heart stuck here, knowing that the road ahead is in front of him, but the bridge across it suddenly broke, and he couldn't help but temporarily retract his feet, waiting for the beam ladder to be built again.

Chang Sheng asked: "Are you going back later?"

Meng said: "I have to go back to the palace. Liang Guoying has ordered someone to look for Li Su just now, and he will pass by soon. Changsheng... where did you go after you left Lutai just now?" ?”

Chang Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and after a while, he said, "Xiao Wu, I saw Li Su."

Meng Jie said anxiously: "He recognized you?!"

Changsheng sighed: "Xiao Wu, I don't want to hide it from you. Two months ago, Li Su came to Donghan to look for me... Maybe, he has been looking for me for the past ten years."

Mengjiao was taken aback, and said, "He told you this?"

Chang Sheng nodded and said: "When I saw him two months ago, I almost thought I was delusional. No matter whether the past ten years have been as he said, but Xiao Wu, after all, he is the same as those people back then. It's different, if it wasn't for him ten years ago, you and I might have died long ago, so I..."

"Changsheng, think about what you're talking about!" Meng Jian suddenly shouted: "He is from the Western Han Dynasty! At the hands of whom was killed in the great defeat?! Have you forgotten? You say this now because you want to replace him Are you exonerated?! Ah Tie! Da Hu! They all died because of him!"

Immediately, Chang Sheng seemed to be poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water, and immediately shouted: "But this has nothing to do with him, Xiao Wu, these are not his fault, don't admit the wrong enemy!"

Meng raped incredulously: "So you were with him all the time just now, right? Don't you hate him anymore?!"

Chang Sheng sighed and said, "I have never hated Li Su in my heart, Xiao Wu. It was Zhao and Liang Guoying who were wrong in what happened back then. We shouldn't involve innocent people in it."

Meng Jian's eyes were cold to the bottom, and he felt that the person in front of him suddenly became very strange.

Three years ago, when he communicated with Changsheng for the first time, neither of them could believe that the other was still alive. At that time, they had a common goal, which was to kill all the Western Han people who participated in that incident. Three years later, they finally saw each other again, but Chang Sheng drew the person he hated the most out of the circle they formed together.

"Changsheng, let me ask you, did you come out of Li Su's residence just now?" Meng Jian said in a low voice, seeing the shock of the person opposite, he knew that he really let him down.

"Xiao Wu, he has no ill intentions towards me. Besides, with Li Su around, it is easier for me to get close to the people in the palace." Chang Sheng explained.

The traitor waved his hand and said, "Where's the warrant I gave you?!"

Chang Sheng said: "It's here, but I didn't have time to use it just now."

Meng Jian nodded, with deep disappointment in his tone, but tried his best to conceal it, and said: "Since you have your own thoughts, I can't say anything more, but the situation has changed tonight, and it's not convenient for you to enter the palace with me again. Cheng Yaojin, Liang Guoying, who came out halfway, I really didn't expect, but if you go back later and Li Su finds out, will you..."

Seeing that he didn't blame him anymore, Chang Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "He should have found out a long time ago, but luckily he can't do anything tonight, so it shouldn't be a serious problem."

"That's good." Meng Jian said: "I have to go back to the palace quickly. When you go back, be careful and try to avoid the places where the guards are patrolling. Tomorrow night, I will send someone to send you a message."

When the traitor was far away, Chang Sheng's heart suddenly relaxed. For some reason, he always felt that what he just said had become a barrier between him and Xiao Wu, even if it was covered up by him. Very good, but Chang Sheng understood that something seemed different.

On the way back, the man in black sent by Li Su was secretly relieved when he found the target appeared in his field of vision again.

Fortunately, it was windy tonight and the sky was full of dark clouds. The imperial guards who were always vigilant did not see this unceremonious person. Chang Sheng regretted that he could not directly follow Xiao Wu into the Western Han royal court tonight, so he had to find another chance.

When he came back, he was still light-footed. After searching for a long time, Changsheng got in through the back door of Wutong Garden to find the room where he lived just now. He shut all the voices behind him. In the darkness, he couldn't help but feel relaxed. down.

"came back."

The sudden sound made all the hair on his body explode in fright, Chang Sheng's eyebrows twitched, and he cursed: "Sneaky, who are you scaring!"

Li Su didn't light the lamp, just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him quietly, and said, "Did you see what you wanted to see?"

Chang Sheng walked over and stood five steps in front of him, and said in a strange way: "What does it have to do with you? Go away, don't block me from sleeping."

Li Su chuckled and said, "Why doesn't it matter to me, if you are caught, I will be the one who will be implicated."

Chang Sheng snorted: "You deserve to be implicated, so you'd better protect me so that nothing happens to me."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and yawned, and said angrily, "Why don't you go back to sleep and come to my room?"

Li Su didn't have the slightest intention to get up, and said lightly: "I can't sleep to see you."

Chang Sheng spread his hands together: "Did you see it? Can I go back?"

Li Su: "I see it, but I'm not going back."

Chang Sheng glared at him, and said: "If you don't go back, you want to sleep with me? General Hongying, I don't have any interest in sleeping with a man right now."

Li Su suddenly said: "Didn't you always say you wanted to sleep with me when you were young, why did you change your mind when you grew up?"

Chang Sheng shouted: "When did I say I was going to sleep with you?!"

Li Su rubbed his chin and pretended to think for a while, then said: "You said you always slept with your elder brother, and then your elder brother left, and you couldn't sleep alone, so you asked if you could go to my tent. Although I didn't answer you, but Do you know what was going through my mind at the time?"

Chang Sheng: "I don't want to know."

Li Su smiled slightly: "No, you want to."

Changsheng thought to himself: Miss your mother's bastard egg!

But he said, "What are you thinking?!"

After he finished speaking, he regretted it, and sure enough, Li Su smiled.

"I was thinking, what if you go to sleep in my room and take advantage of me at night? I was so holy when I was a child, and you, like a bandit, sleep with you. I am very dangerous."

Li Su said it calmly, without the slightest sense of self-aggrandizement. No matter who heard these words, he would think that what he said was true.

But Changsheng quit, who the hell is a bandit? !Taking advantage of you?Do you want face?

"But I thought, it doesn't matter if I get taken advantage of. Anyway, if there is a first time, there will always be a second time. If I do it a few more times, I might get used to it."

Chang Sheng: "..."

His teeth itched with anger.

Li Su continued: "It's a pity, you were simple-minded at that time, and didn't understand the meaning of my silence at that time..."

Chang Sheng: "I don't want to understand!"

Li Su said lightly: "It's okay, it's not too late to understand now."

Chang Sheng went forward to kick him in a fit of anger, but was dodged by Li Su. He was extremely fast, pinched Chang Sheng's ankle, and then pulled it lightly. The latter subconsciously exclaimed, and then the whole body Everyone fell towards Li Su.

"So, either, you go to sleep in my room, or I sleep in your room." Li Su pressed his whole body under his body, and said very casually.

Chang Sheng's face immediately turned red like a monkey's buttocks, and the two of them were close to each other. Their eyes met, and they didn't even know which one was which one was breathing. Then he felt a little angry, and shouted: "I didn't expect your taste to be so delicious. Really unusual."

Li Su said blankly, "I told you, my taste hasn't changed ten years ago."

Chang Sheng narrowed his eyes suddenly, and said with a sneer: "So these years, Proton's guests should be quite a few!"

Li Su asked back: "What do you think?!"

Chang Sheng sneered: "Since that's the case, I'll tell Proton that I'm still perfect! I don't intend to have anything to do with a broken shoe like you!"

Li Su laughed suddenly, his whole body trembled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "So, you think I..."

What he was about to say suddenly stopped, and a trace of extremely unbelievable surprise suddenly appeared in his expression, and even his expression, which had always been as immobile as a mountain, became very vivid.

Chang Sheng, who was crushed by him, felt very ashamed, blushed, and shouted: "Get up!"

As he said that, he raised his leg and knocked down Li Su, but was instantly pressed down by the latter's leg, and his whole body was fixed firmly.

Li Su: "Sure enough, I still love to play tricks like I did when I was a child."

Chang Sheng: "So what? If you can cure it, just do it!"

Li Su raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you try it now?"

Chang Sheng: "If you know about it, it can still be called a dirty trick?! Get out, or don't blame me for being rude to you."

Li Su sat up, Chang Sheng only felt his body lighten, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

It was dark all around, there was only a thin blanket on the couch, and the chrome man's body was a little sore. Chang Sheng rubbed his shoulders and straightened up, mocking Li Su at the side: "Why, you really don't plan to leave?!"

Li Su wanted to say something, but stopped for a while.

"I'm not a broken shoe..." He suddenly laughed.

Chang Sheng didn't hear what he said, and was subconsciously asking him when a series of hasty knocks on the door suddenly sounded, making Chang Sheng jump.

Li Su said displeasedly, "Come in!"

Ah Cheng came back from Taiwei's Mansion at some point, and said to Li Su through the darkness of the room: "Second Lord, General Liang is back!"

Li Su was obviously very surprised, a chill flashed at the end of his eyes, and said, "When did it happen?"

Ah Chengdao: "Just half an hour ago, I sent someone to the Taiwei's Mansion to tell the second master to enter the palace. I told them that the second master was in another courtyard and would not go to the Jingji Palace for the past few days, but the person who sent the message refused. Not only the meaning of General Liang, but also... the meaning of His Highness Fifth."

Li Su sneered, and said: "Sure enough, once the power is in your hands, you don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. Xiaoxiao's generation has too many delusions, and sooner or later he will have to pay the price! Who else is in the palace?!"

Ah Cheng said: "Liang Xiao is also there, but the others don't know."

Li Su stood up from the edge of the bed, straightened his messy clothes as he walked, and said, "Call Yunyi and the others over. Since we have something to discuss, everyone in Jingji Hall must listen!"

Chang Sheng watched him walk out of the door, just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw the man suddenly come in again, and said indifferently: "Before I come back, you'd better keep quiet, if you don't want to die."

Before Chang Sheng could roll up his sleeves, Li Su really left. Chang Sheng sneered and ignored him. As soon as he was wrapped in a quilt, he fell asleep unconsciously.
