The prince in the cold palace

When Apu came out of the Tingfeng Hall in the first hole, he saw Zhi Fei walking towards him with a stack of thick books in his arms. He walked in a hurry, with beads of sweat on his forehead, and the young man's delicate face was slightly reddish. , Apu's eyes darkened, and when the boy came to the door, he reached out to stop him.

"Zifei? What a coincidence, but to find Zunzhaizhu?" Apu licked his lips with a slightly cynical tone.

Zhi Fei glanced at the second prince Rongli who was hiding his agitation in front of him, and nodded slightly.

Apu leaned over and approached Zhifei, his eyes were not pure, and Apu, who was much taller than Zhifei, could feel a shadow when Zhifei stood in front of him, Zhifei frowned slightly, and stepped back without a trace, Ah Pu Pu took a step closer, Zhi Fei took a step back, until there was no way to retreat, he stepped on a protruding stone, staggered, the books in his hand were all scratched due to panic, and scattered on the ground.

With a smile on his face, Apu leaned over to pick up the scattered books, instead of picking up the waste, he flipped through those books page by page, and the accounts were clearly displayed in front of him.

Zhi Fei was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed the account books in Apu's hand, and tidied up the scattered account books.

Apu smiled and squinted his eyes, the sun was shining on Zhifei's body, his clothes were plated with a layer of gold, and he wanted to help Zhifei clean up the books on the ground, all the books at hand were packed up, one by one , turned into a stack of books again, sticking it firmly in his arms, never letting Apu touch it again.

It's boring, but I don't feel angry.Apu looked at the sun, looked back at the empty Tingfeng Hall, and then said to Zhi Fei with a smile on his face, "Little brother Zifei, look, the sun is already so big. Brother Shen hasn't got up yet. The prince doesn't want to make another trip, so he just sits in the hall first, can you make a report on his behalf?"

As he said that, he even blocked the sunlight in front of his eyes with his hand, as if he was really afraid of the sun.

Zhi Fei looked at A Pu for a while, sighed slightly, nodded, and walked towards the back room without saying anything, holding the account book.

After getting permission from the guards, Zhi Fei slowly entered the room, and a scent of tea came over his face.

It's not that Shen Rongku hasn't gotten up yet. A well-dressed burly man is sitting at the table, holding a purple sand teacup in his hand, sipping the light-colored tea soup in the cup, squinting his eyes slightly as he smells the tea fragrance , the expression is very enjoyable.

Hearing Zhifei's footsteps, he didn't look at Zhifei, but pondered for a while, then slowly raised his head, his eyes were deep, "Zifei... bandits value integrity and loyalty, you and I As long as the contract is still in place, I will say that Apu is sick and gone."

The faint smile on the corner of his mouth was more like mockery than self-satisfaction.

Shen Rongku asked Zhifei to go to the hole at such a time by no means just to check the account books. When he saw Apu in front of Tingfengtang, Zhifei knew that this old slick bandit compromised with the court and sold favors.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many things to think about during this period of time, and almost everyone around him was untrustworthy. He could only rely on his own judgment and be accompanied by strong vigilance. Shen Rongku calculated and thanked him.But now, Zhifei is no longer the leisurely and indifferent prince of the past. The burden of the prince is on his shoulders. Yin Wuyao's invisible and invisible king's theory is subtly affecting, and his once peaceful heart is also disrupted.

Shen Rongku used the waste to balance the relationship between the Shanzhai, the imperial court and the Rongli. Standing in a neutral position, it was either the one who was most vulnerable or the one who made a profit. It all depended on one's ability and means.On this point, although Zhifei is a bit belated, it can be seen.

Sometimes, sitting on the top of the mountain watching the sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun renders the sky layer upon layer red, the clouds seem to be burning, and the calm wind gently blows the broken hair on the forehead, just squinting for a while, Yin Wuyao would sit down and talk to Zhi Fei.

"What's behind the clouds, does Xiao Qi know?" The slightly lazy and comfortable voice was full of charm.

"Is it the sky?"

A burst of warmth touched the top of Zhifei's head, and Yin Wuyao caressed it time after time, "Well, yes, it's the sky."

The man looked at the distant sky, his eyes gradually settled, "No matter how beautiful the clouds are, or how shining the sun is, they cannot be separated from this sky."

So, Xiao Qi... the Son of Heaven is the ruler of this world.

My eyes were a little dizzy from the dazzling sunset, I simply closed my eyes, thinking about Yin Wuyao's words, thinking about its voice-over, gradually, I understood a little bit.Shen Rongku twirled his beard, and took another sip of tea. The tall and strong man really didn't match the light and elegant tea, it looked a little funny.However, Shen Rongku drank his tea very seriously, narrowing his eyes in enjoyment, and let out a slight sigh in his throat.

Suddenly thought of a word, fox.

The village owner who has played hard to get to the fullest is as cunning as a fox.On the one hand, he agreed to the agreement with Zhi Po, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to deal with Rong Li, so he just threw the hot potato to Zhi Po, and even acted like he had been wronged.

I don't know why, but Zhi Fei has always been very wary of Shen Rongku. Maybe it's because this village master can calmly weigh the pros and cons with the casualties of his brothers when facing the death of his subordinates, and choose the side that cooperates. This kind of cold-bloodedness made Zhi Fei extremely disgusted.

However, such a person is often more able to achieve a career.

Speaking of cold-blooded, Yin Wuyao seems to be the same kind of person...but there is something different.

Thinking about it, Zhi Fei frowned in confusion.

"... Zifei?"

Suddenly returning to his senses, he found that Shen Rongku was looking at Zhi Po with a hidden knife in his smile, "If I intend to take your life, I'm afraid Zi Fei is no longer in this world."

After finishing speaking, he laughed twice and motioned for Zhifei to sit down, and Shen Rongku personally poured him a cup of tea.

Suddenly remembered that Apu was still waiting outside the Tingfeng Hall, and Shen Rongku closed the door on the grounds that he hadn't gotten up yet.But at this time, Shen Rongku called Zhifei to make a hole again, obviously he wanted Zhifei to send Apu away, but if Apu was such an easy person to dismiss, Shen Rongku would not use his hands to send Apu away.

The innocent and smiling prince, the man who is gentle and gentle with the maids, is the conspirator who planned a commotion and pushed the situation forward.

In Yin Wuyao's words, it is "a jackal that lurks in the dark".

The price of being able to take the life of a strong man like Han Dali unscathed is nothing more than an ornament. The blood-stained gold ornament is firmly held in the palm of the defeated man, and he refuses to let it go until he dies. Open, it can be seen that Apu is not a simple fighting maniac, but a character with great ambitions.

The third prince Rongli's lobbying failed, and Apu went to the village full of confidence. How many brothers in the village were eyeing his life, but Apu still laughed and played like a playboy every day, only his eyes occasionally showed the look of tigers and wolfs, and his momentum was overwhelming. people.

Yin Wuyao said that to deal with Apu, he should use "delay", but why and how to delay, the emperor did not tell him.

Shen Rongku's attitude towards the two parties was also "delayed". He procrastinated skillfully, not only selling favors to the imperial court behind Zhifei, but also preventing Rong Li from losing face.

When Zhi Fei was still sorting out the account books in Erdong, Yin Wuyao also flipped through a few books in his spare time. His slender fingers stroked a certain page back and forth, his fingertips resting on the paper, thinking for a while, and then pushed to the In front of Fei, "Xiao Qi can see what is coming?"

The entries in the account book clearly stated that in the past two or three months, Batianzhai's supplies had been hoarded sharply, which seemed to be about the same as last year's winter, but it was only July, so it was unreasonable to stockpile supplies for the winter so early.

There was a slight smile on Yin Wuyao's mouth, watching him gradually contemplating the obsession, and he didn't make a sound to disturb him. The young man's serious thinking was full of aura, especially his black pupils gathered the brilliance of wisdom, Vibrant and vivid.

"Is it...Ba Tianzhai has a premonition that the war between Da Zhou and Rong Li is inevitable, and is preparing for the war?"

Yin Wuyao nodded, and pointed out a few accounts for Zhi Fei to read, "Xiaoqi looks at these items, if he has no intention of participating in the war as a precaution, there is no need to build such weapons in large quantities..."

There are also pictures of weapons on the account book. Most of the pictures are weapons suitable for offense. Batianzhai occupies a favorable location and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is indeed different to create a large number of weapons suitable for offense.

The emperor sighed slightly, "It seems that Batianzhai also has a lot of ambitions."

"Three-legged confrontation..." Zhi Fei suddenly remembered this sentence, it was a piece of history that did not exist in this era, but it suddenly came out of his mind.

The emperor looked at Zhi Fei in surprise, and then with a smile on his lips, he slowly said "Three-legged confrontation...", his eyes closed slightly, and when he opened them again, he was full of domineering, "I won't let it come true!" Yes, in this world, one true man is enough."

The king's confident smile was imprinted in Zhifei's mind for a long time.

Some kind of emotion was stirring in my heart, and my blood was boiling, just because of the emperor's words.

Such an emperor is an emperor who will make his subjects bow down willingly.

While Shen Rongku was speaking, Zhifei remembered many details of when he was with Yin Wuyao. The emperor's way of thinking had a certain impact on Zhifei's judgment, but in two or three sentences, Zhifei had already heard the implication. Facing Shen Rong's withered and menacing eyes, he could drink the tea in front of him calmly without saying a word.

Sure enough, Shen Rongku mentioned Apu, "Prince Rongli outside..."

There was a bit of pleading in his eyes, but the smile on Shen Rongku's mouth was still warm, and Zhi Fei showed a embarrassed look, "I'm afraid Zifei won't be able to deal with the second prince."

"Hahaha!" Shen Rongku laughed loudly and deafeningly. It is estimated that such indulgent laughter could be heard in the front hall. Zhifei frowned uncomfortably, and Shen Rongku smiled contemptuously. How could my brother let you deal with this jackal..."

As soon as the topic changed, Shen Rongku's attitude changed a lot, which made people unpredictable. One moment he wanted to throw the hot potato to Zhibai, and the next moment he took the initiative to take on difficult things. Shen Rongku is a budget-conscious man. People don't do meaningless things, these words made Zhi Fei very puzzled.

Since Shen Rongku said that Prince Rongli would hand it over to him, Zhi Po also unceremoniously asked him to do it. Compared with himself, the old fox Shen Rongku's wrists are more mature.
