After the emperor got married, he collapsed and set up

Chapter 98 Nine Cauldron Pagoda 【Part 9】

The first person to notice Yang Yanqing's change was not Zhou Zhenzhen who was still being taught by him every day, but Huai Yu who was far away in the National Teacher Hall.

"A bunch of useless things!"

Huaiyu, who was as indifferent as a chrysanthemum before, lost and embarrassed in front of Yang Yanqing, was still covered with black veil, but the movement of sweeping away the folders on the table was irritated and angry, and there was a ferocious and sinister twist on that pale to bloodless face.

"It's all trash—trash!!!"

Huaiyu didn't expect Yang Yanqing to be so quick and so easy to detect his purpose. In the past half a month, Yang Yanqing has almost disappeared in the state of Zhou's government, as if he is really just an ordinary person who simply teaches Zhou Zhenzhen's knowledge and vision. Mr. average.

Looking at the paper full of taunts sent by Emperor Daqing in front of him, the ferocious hatred on Huaiyu's face became more and more eerie.

The behavior he sent to instigate the people around Xiao Yun to force Xiao Jinghe was of no use at all. Xiao Jinghe's assassination was like a tiger playing with a ball of wool. Living in the mansion is to travel around the mountains and rivers, eat, drink and have fun in the Zhou Kingdom, so happy and happy!

"Knock knock—Brother Huaiyu?"

Zhou Zhenzhen's voice came from outside the palace door, and Huaiyu's clenched hands clenched tightly. When he let go of his palms with a sigh of relief, his usual indifferent and gentle face had returned to him, with a trace of Gentle and shy.

"Why is Your Highness here? It's cold in the hall, it's not good for His Highness."

The National Teacher Hall is always cold and cold, every time Zhou Zhenzhen comes here, she will wear a thick cloak and carry a stove, but when she sees Huai Yu's thin and weak face with a warm smile on her face, Zhou Zhenzhen feels that the exhaustion of the day can be exhausted Dissolved.

"I'm here to deliver something to brother Huaiyu. Recently, people have heard that brother Huaiyu eats less and less. If this continues, the body will really be overwhelmed." Zhou Zhenzhen's eyes were full of worry, and she also saw the scattered things behind Huaiyu. The papers on the ground.

Because Huaiyu couldn't see, the paper used by the report was not thick enough, and the ink stained through the back of the paper. Zhou Zhenzhen took two steps forward to pick up the paper on the ground and looked at it. There is a slight difference between the number written on this piece of paper and the number reported by the military waiter.

Even a small point in taxation is a huge difference to the common people, and even this point may crush the common people of Zhou State who have not produced enough food crops.

Brother Huaiyu...why do you add a point to the tax after the emperor's brother promulgates it?

Zhou Zhenzhen pinched the paper in her hand, and her nails made a crescent mark on it.

"Your Highness?" Huaiyu's doubtful voice sounded from behind, but Zhou Zhenzhen, who was squatting on the ground, felt a chill rushing from her back to the Tianling Gai, she quickly picked up the scattered papers on the ground, and turned around without taking a second look. Turning around and stuffing it into Huaiyu's arms with a smile, he said in a brisk tone, "The subordinates are not reliable in their work, we can train them well. Brother Huaiyu can't afford to be angry for the subordinates. It's not worthwhile to be angry."

"...Okay, I will listen to Your Highness." Huai Yu lowered her head in embarrassment, and the pure white hair on her forehead slipped down and brushed the back of her pale jade hand.

Looking at the person in front of her, Zhou Zhenzhen felt a sense of strangeness for some reason, as if the National Teacher Hall, which she had visited many times since she was a child, had really turned into a giant beast that could devour people, and this giant beast was entrenched in the Behind the frail and pale person in front of him was staring at her covetously.

The thumbnail in Zhou Zhenzhen's sleeve pressed against the pulp of her index finger, her voice was still sweet and lively: "Brother Huaiyu, then I'll be leaving first! I haven't finished the homework assigned by the master, and the imperial concubine said today If you want to teach me how to make dim sum, it's not good to make your mother wait for a long time."

Huaiyu tilted his head slightly, and stood indifferently for a while when he heard the creaking sound of the heavy palace door closing, his pale fingers lightly slid across the paper in his arms, and stopped on one of the folders with the crescent moon imprint on the edge , fingertips brushing over the contents above, a cold smile appeared on the corners of bloodless lips.

"Just being taught by Yang Yanqing for a few days, His Highness has become sharp... This is really difficult."

Huai Yu walked slowly to the large chair behind the desk and sat down. The corners of his black coat were swaying on the cold marble floor, and the papers in his arms were scattered all over the place. trampled underfoot.

"Flowers grow too slowly..."

But he couldn't wait any longer.

Yan Xiuyun's saying is very correct - to set things right, wealth and honor are in danger.It's just that Huaiyu's reason for refusing to cooperate with Yan Xiuyun is very simple. Yan Xiuyun wants Yang Yanqing to die so that Xiao Jinghe's fate can return to the track he manipulated.

But for Huaiyu, the existence of Yang Yanqing is very important - he is the only path on the astrolabe that indicates the demise of the Zhou Kingdom.

It's not about resurgence, lingering, and it's not about returning to the country after Daqing, but about completely disappearing into the long river of history, with the sad existence of the national teacher.

Those seniors who have been sucked dry because of Zhou Guo can only truly find peace of soul on that road.

Huaiyu yearns for the peace of soul, and yearns for the complete destruction of the state of Zhou.

"...It can be used..."

Yan Xiuyun's obsession has reached a terrifying level. He knows the lineage of King Jingbei too well, and knows how to deal with the pain points that Xiao Jinghe cares about the most.In fact, Xiao Jinghe's life and death were originally irrelevant to Huaiyu, but now Yang Yanqing only has two weaknesses.

There are two Xiao family members, one is far away in the sky, and the other is close at hand.

Two pain points that are really taken to heart.

The surface of the table in front of Huaiyu was engraved with deep and shallow ravine patterns. If someone could come in here and look down, they would definitely exclaim.

The Jiuding Pagoda, the most secret and most heavily guarded in the Zhou Kingdom, has all the internal structures and organs arranged on this black table, with blood-colored glint flowing.

"How crazy would you be if he died?"

***

That night, Xiao Jinghe, who had been honest for a long time, packed his things and was about to go out, but just a few steps out of the door, he saw Yang Yanqing sitting cross-legged on the eaves of the neighbor's house across the street, with a jade piano on his lap.

Yang Yanqing raised his eyes and glanced lazily at the man, sat up straight and complained, "You're so slow."

Xiao Jinghe, who obviously put people to sleep and then changed his clothes, sneaked out: "...is it Mr. who threw all my clothes next door?"

"Otherwise? The clothes and long legs ran out by themselves?"

Xiao Jinghe raised his breath and flew lightly to stand beside Yang Yanqing, sighed and began to persuade: "There are many traps in the Jiuding Pagoda..."

"Didn't you tell An Yi to find the descendant who built the Jiuding Pagoda and get the mechanism map of the Jiuding Pagoda?" Yang Yanqing stood up holding the piano, raised his chin and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, go quickly. Come back after finishing the things sleep earlier."

"Hiss..." Xiao Jinghe felt that since the conversation that day, Yang Yanqing's temper became more and more uncontrollable.Saying one thing and being self-willed, kicking him in the middle of the night to eat a bunny was not something that the emperor could do in the past, but now Yang Yanqing can not only do it, but also started squatting in the kitchen and clinging to Xiao Jinghe to make a bunny.

Although the four bodies are not working hard and the five grains are not distinguished, relying on his own kung fu, he directly reached out to grab the little rabbit that was not out of the pot in the cage. The red marks on his hands did not disappear overnight, and Xiao Jinghe was so distressed that he couldn't bear it inside. The first time I was thinking about blowing, I was almost kicked out of bed again because of inattention.

The Jiuding Pagoda is not in the royal palace of the Zhou Kingdom, but in the middle of a heavily guarded manor to the west. The majestic seven-story tower is the most eye-catching and iconic building in the Zhou Kingdom.A sentry post was erected at each of the four corners of the tower, and the sharp weapons were hidden in the darkness.

The Jingbei King's Sword that Xiao Jinghe wanted to get was placed on the sixth floor, which meant that the two of them not only had to get into the Jiuding Pagoda without anyone noticing, but had to go up to at least the sixth floor.

"This defense is interesting..." Yang Yanqing and Xiao Jinghe hid in the lush trees, gently pushed aside the leaves and looked down at Zhuangzi with bright torches.

One sentry at five steps, one defense at ten steps, the patrol routes of the guards almost only overlapped without omission, it is not difficult to see that Zhou Guo attached great importance to Jiuding Pagoda.

"If it is according to what the prince said, wait until Daqing subdues the state of Zhou, and then come to the Jiuding Pagoda to get it? Why bother at this time?" Yang Yanqing still remembers Xiao Jinghe's "teaching" to him carefully, and he will do it when he has the opportunity. Stab him a few words.

Xiao Jinghe leaned over and kissed Yang Yanqing's side face, couldn't help lowering his voice and chuckling: "It's your precious student who doesn't want other things on the sixth floor to be revealed to the public by Zhou Guoyu's death net, so he took the initiative to make a deal with me, and I'll help him destroy it." After letting go of those secrets, he let the princess and I stay together~"

"Okay, you two surnamed Xiao are sneaking under my nose and trading secretly?" Yang Yanqing twisted the soft flesh on Xiao Jinghe's waist. His hands are not weak, and this twist is probably red "Bully me, a person with a foreign surname?"

Xiao Jinghe almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he clenched his teeth, wrapped Yang Yanqing's hand up to his lips and kissed again: "I can also take my husband's surname, but I don't know if the Yang family wants me or not?"

Yang Yanqing looked Xiao Jinghe up and down, and snorted softly: "The appearance is not bad, barely not bad."

Not to mention the corners of his mouth, even the corners of Xiao Jinghe's eyes are full of love. These days are really his happiest days, and he can feel that Yang Yanqing is really trying to let go of his obsessions and concerns, and has truly stepped out of the prison Restraining herself, she opened her heart and walked towards him.

Trying to restrain himself from looking down at the patrolling officers and soldiers, Xiao Jinghe said: "The sky above this village is almost locked by a dark crossbow. When I came to spy before, I was stopped outside the villa. It is indeed difficult to go quietly without alarming the guards." Sneaking in silently, Mister's qinggong pace should be far better than mine, is there a way?"

Yang Yanqing followed the direction indicated by Xiao Jinghe and saw the soldiers quietly dormant on the four watchtowers, and thought for a while: "If I can solve the patrolling guards in one direction..."

"Enough." Xiao Jinghe answered.

Yang Yanqing turned the jade qin on his back to the front of him. While speaking, he had already put on the metal armor on his fingers. Yang Yanqing held down the strings with one hand, squinted at the patrolling guards below, and when the guards walked under the tree, his hand Flicking a few times at the root of the piano head, and making a few dull beeps, the sound blade cut through the night sky soundlessly and cut the throats of the group of seven patrolling guards.

The moment the corpse fell, a swift figure flew out and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Yang Yanqing jumped off the tree and quickly hid the corpse in the bushes. When he straightened up, the corner of his mouth twitched—he was actually led to do this kind of job of killing people and hiding corpses one day.

I always feel that the bottom line is being refreshed step by step by a certain man, whether it is on the bed or under the bed.

You can't stay in this place, Yang Yanqing raised his eyes and saw the slight noise on the watchtower, raised his hand to grab the branch and used his strength to fly to the watchtower with great confidence and fell silently into the man's open arms.

"Still playing? Get up!"

A guard whose neck was broken by Xiao Jinghe was sitting halfway beside the crossbow seat, Yang Yanqing was held in his arms, unable to move, poked Xiao Jinghe's forehead with his forehead and threatened in a low voice: "Don't let me go and beat you again. "

"No, Mister's head is much better than mine, but I have a strong head. What if I get confused by Mr.'s hammer?" Xiao Jinghe stole another kiss, let go of his arms and let Yang Yanqing lower his body, rubbing He took a deep breath, and silently recited the Heart Sutra that he had just recited a few days ago.

"When my head is broken, I eat and sleep every day. It's not that no one supports me." Yang Yanqing didn't show his head, but looked down from the gap in the railing of the sentry tower. The height of the sentry tower just corresponds to the window on the fifth floor of Jiuding Tower. The distance is very far, and a person's lightness skills can't fly directly from the watchtower to approach the tower. Presumably, the possibility of someone sneaking in was considered when the watchtower was established at that time. "The distance is a bit difficult."

"That can't be done, sir can only support me." Xiao Jinghe said dissatisfied.

He came up early, had already looked over the situation, took out a rope flying claw from his arms and shook it in front of Yang Yanqing: "It's good to step on it~"

Yang Yanqing turned his head to look at the distance and the building outside the tower, and shook his head: "Even if you start throwing from the farthest distance you can fly, there will be a long piece of rope outside, but look at the outside of the Jiuding Pagoda. , there are no protruding railings, it is extremely smooth, and once the flying claw slips and falls, the movement will definitely attract the guards."

Once this kind of heavily guarded place is found to have sneaked in, there can only be many more organs that can be activated than it seems.

"It's not me, it's you." Xiao Jinghe stuffed the rope flying claw into Yang Yanqing's hand.

Yang Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, frowned and thought about it, then roughly estimated the distance, nodded: "Yes."

In the dark night, the vigorous man flew out first and Yang Yanqing followed closely behind. When he was exhausted, Xiao Jinghe raised his hand to lift Yang Yanqing up. Yang Yanqing used his strength to lighten his body again, and turned in mid-air towards Xiao Jinghe who was falling. Throwing out the rope flying claws, he turned his head and flew forward directly to grab the smooth glazed wall outside the Jiuding Pagoda. With his lower body steady, he pulled Xiao Jinghe up by the rope wrapped around his waist with both hands.

For the first time in so many years, Xiao Jinghe felt this kind of tacit understanding of heart-to-heart connection. He couldn't help but leaned over and turned over to blend into the shadow of Jiuding Pagoda. He pressed the person on the pillar and kissed Yang Yanqing's lips lightly, so that Yang Yanqing's neck was dyed. A rouge color.

"Baby is awesome!" Xiao Jinghe said hoarsely, with a satisfied light in his eyes.

Yang Yanqing didn't want to talk to this man who always wanted to cling to him, so he untied the rope around his waist and fell into Xiao Jinghe's arms angrily.

Xiao Jinghe put away the rope flying claws and was ready to go back and hang on the wall of the inner room to look at it every day, savoring the taste every night, and saw Yang Yanqing turn in through the window before following behind and disappearing by the window.

***

There were no windows or candles in the silent and dark Palace of the Imperial Teachers. Huaiyu just lay upright on the bed, and the only thing in the cold and oppressive hall was the faint heaving and rising of his chest.

"Tick."

Huaiyu heard the sound of steel balls falling and hitting the tray.

He sat up slowly, and the black veil used to cover his eyes slipped off his face, leaving only two smooth and strange depressions where the eyes should have been, as if there had never been eyeballs, which made this man The originally handsome man suddenly became eerie, like a ferocious beast emerging from the dark night.

He walked slowly to the desk table engraved with the map of the Jiuding Pagoda mechanism, stretched out his hand to caress the inscriptions of different depths, and pressed it lightly when he touched a round raised ball with his fingertips.

Huaiyu raised his hand to lightly touch the smooth and delicate skin around his eye sockets, and his low laughter fell on the cold ground.

"It came so fast...that's great."

The author has something to say:

Countdown to Huaiyu Bento——

The only person in the whole book who dared to snipe and snipe crazily on Yang Yanqing’s pain points, tsk
