Linque

The [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month was a fine weather, Chu Heng and Ye Shuli went out early in the morning, and after reuniting with Su Lang, Han Chengmiao, and Xiao Gaomin, they went to Duke Qing's mansion together.

It was Yun Fei's cousin, Yan Huabin, the eldest son of the Yan family, who received them. After exchanging pleasantries, he paid a visit to Duke Qing, and Yan Huabin led them to the courtyard where Yun Fei lived.

On the way, Yan Huabin took the initiative to tell them about Yun Fei's recent situation. On the day of the torture, Duke Qing's mansion sent a name card in advance and invited the imperial physician.Yun Fei is a guard of the Hall of Martial Heroes, and he was named by His Majesty. In the evening, the Shadow Guard of the Son of Heaven, following His Majesty's order, brought the surgeon from the Imperial Hospital and gave him medicine. Come on.

Although he received forty sticks, but luckily he suffered all the pain, and did not hurt his inner muscles and bones. In addition, he practiced martial arts at a young age, so his body was in such a state, and he could recover after resting in bed for a month or two.

Entering Yunfei's courtyard, Yan Huabin knew they had something to say, so he left first.As expected, Yun Fei was in good spirits. When they came in, he was lying on the big welcome pillow, eating dried fruit and candied fruit, while listening to the boy reading to him from the book.

"You're quite enjoying this. You're more comfortable than you are in Wuying Hall on weekdays. Isn't forty boards for nothing?" Su Lang walked in first, seeing Yun Fei's state, he felt relieved and joked a few words.

Hearing the sound, Yun Fei raised his head, seeing them, he was slightly startled, and immediately smiled: "Hey, why are you here? Come on, let's have a look at the tea... Hiss, ouch..."

When he moved, he accidentally touched the wound, grinning his teeth in pain, Su Lang took two steps forward to hold him down, Xiao Gaomin followed behind, and said: "Okay, don't move, let's come and see you."

The young boy in Tsing Yi who was studying put down his notebook, led others to watch the tea on the table, and packed the medicinal materials and supplements brought by Su Lang and the others.Chu Heng walked last, and when he came in, he glanced at the servant, picked a chair and sat down.

Ye Shuli casually picked up the book on the desk and flipped through it, and suddenly smiled, it was actually published by their Lishan Bookstore.The writing of this book can only be regarded as average, the ordinary romance, the writing level is about the same as Ye Jianwei, the master of the Eastern Capital, and the protagonists are not the few people that everyone likes to see. The gray ones are selling well in the imperial capital.

Su Lang glanced at the book cover and said with a smile: "You still know how to have fun for yourself, okay, if you're not being stupid, then we can rest assured."

Yun Fei was so angry that he slapped him away: "I am in pain, are you still laughing? Is there any brotherhood left?"

Han Chengmiao and Chu Heng sat a little further away, the former put down the teacup, and suddenly said: "It hurts too long to remember, and you will remember the proportion later."

As soon as the voice fell, the room was suddenly quiet, several people looked at each other, and looked at Han Chengmiao in unison.

Such abrupt and even sharp words are rarely heard from the silent and introverted Korean princes, not to mention that they are visiting guests, so these words are a bit rude.

Han Chengmiao's voice was very low, Yun Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to meet his gaze.The latter looked calm, paused for a while, then looked away and said slowly: "You will not get a good result if you meet Yan."

——The last sentence seems to be a reminder.

But the pause before speaking was too long, making it difficult to tell whether Han Chengmiao's two sentences were connected together or whether they meant something separately.

Xiao Gaomin raised his eyebrows lightly, and glanced at Han Chengmiao's cold eyes, why didn't he know that the friendship between these two people was so good that Han Chengmiao could step on Yan Yunfei's bottom line and say a reminder.In his opinion, the warning in the previous sentence is more serious.

Sure enough, even though Han Chengmiao mentioned Yan Xiang, Yun Fei was rarely cold-faced, just kept silent and didn't speak.

The atmosphere was slightly stagnant, Su Lang was about to say a few words to smooth things over, when Yan Huabin outside suddenly led another person in, it was Lu Ji who had the best time with Yun Fei in the Hall of Martial Heroes.

After Yun Fei was tortured in Dali Temple, Lu Ji came over the next day, and when he entered the door and saw that they were all there, he hurriedly handed over the things he had brought to the servant, and happily went up to say hello.

After a few words, Lu Ji sat down and took a sip from the teacup. He looked at the people in this circle again, and didn't notice the delicate atmosphere between them. It is Yunfei's "accomplice".He put down the teacup, raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys are really not particular, why didn't you call me with Xu Shao's sack?" He pointed at Yun Fei, "You deserve to be beaten!"

After Lu Ji made such a fuss, the atmosphere became lively again. Yun Fei was so angry that he wanted to jump out of the bed and beat him up, "Call you, we will be caught by the Jin Wu Guards after we finish beating up that day!"

Lu Ji was not convinced at once. Taking advantage of Yun Fei's injury, he walked to the bed and staggered to pat Yun Fei's hand, "What's wrong with me? Can't you hit me? I want you to be disrespectful!"

Seeing that Yunfei was going to be so angry that the seven orifices were filled with smoke, Su Lang quickly tore Lu Ji away, and helplessly reminded: "My father is the Minister of Dali Temple."

Yun Fei suppressed his anger, and explained in a good voice: "If you go, Uncle Lu will have to avoid suspicion. We can still go to Dali Temple for this case? Do you want to watch me be beaten in the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"...Oh, it seems to be right." Lu Ji scratched his head. In the Dali Temple trial, even if he was sentenced to the punishment stick, Dali Temple Secretary Lu Mian would order him to beat him lightly.

No wonder Yun Fei dared to confront Yan Xiangming.

From this point of view, although he didn't put on a sack, it was quite useful.

Afraid of disturbing Yun Fei's rest, the few people didn't stay long, and they spoke after a while.After walking a long distance, Chu Heng stopped suddenly and said, "It seems that the jade pendant on my body fell into Yunfei's room. I'll go back and have a look, you guys go first."

Ye Shuli nodded, and said casually, "Then hurry up, we'll be waiting for you."

He glanced at Chu Heng's back, and frowned unobtrusively. He was inside just now, and from the beginning to the end, his elder brother didn't say a few words.

Chu Heng went back and forth, Yun Fei was stunned for a moment, and soon came back to his senses, his face was normal and he said: "Why are you back?"

Chu Heng glanced around, pointed to the jade pendant under the chair, and said with a light smile, "I didn't pay attention when I got up just now, it fell here."

Yun Fei nodded, and before he could order someone to pick it up, Chu Heng said again: "What do you think Han Chengmiao said just now?"

Yun Fei's expression changed slightly, and he waved his hand to signal the boys who were packing the tea sets to step back.

Chu Heng stood in front of the door, passing them by. The one who had just read to Yun Fei was the last one, and retreated to gently close the door.

Chu Heng's gaze flicked over him, and the fingertips under his sleeves moved slightly, a layer of innocence that seemed to exist enveloped the entire door, most of the voice was cut off, and only a slight sound inside could be heard from the outside, as if someone was walking He lowered his voice to speak.

Chu Heng remained calm, walked slowly to Yun Fei's bed, pulled a round stool and sat down, and said: "In my opinion, what Han Chengmiao meant was that the forty sticks were not bad. Still playing less—"

He paused, and then said casually: "After all, Dichun Terrace is a forbidden area of ​​the imperial mausoleum. To put it more seriously, anyone who trespasses will be regarded as an accomplice to treason, and everyone will be executed regardless of the head and subordinates. There is no pardon for the death penalty."①

Yun Fei clenched his palms tightly, pursed his lips and did not respond, his thoughts turned, and he suddenly remembered the words Yan Mao said in Dali Temple that day, and unconsciously held his breath.

There were only the two of them in the room, no one spoke, and it was very quiet for a while.Yun Fei stared intently at Chu Heng in front of him, and inexplicably sensed a condescending meaning from his seemingly gentle face, surrounded by smoke cages, Yun Fei shivered for no reason, and slightly straightened his back.

Chu Heng seemed to see his nervousness, suddenly smiled lightly, bent down and patted Yun Fei's shoulder three times, and said in a low voice: "Yun Fei, we are friends, and we will get along with each other in the future. There is something I want to remind you."

Chu Heng's tone was very slow, "It's not just the imperial capital, no matter where it is, it's easier to lose your life if you do something wrong than say something wrong."

He straightened up, suppressed the little smile left on his face, and said lightly: "I don't want to be in trouble anymore, and I hope you are too."

Yun Fei squeezed the corner of the quilt tightly, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

Chu Heng turned around and bent down to pick up the jade pendant next to the chair, took two steps outside, suddenly stopped and said for no reason: "Your boy who is studying is reading a book published by Lishan. To be honest, I think he read It's not very good, it has no charm, it's better to see it yourself."

The true energy enveloped on the door vanished in an instant, Chu Heng pushed the door open, glanced outside, and saw the young man in blue standing at the foot of the steps with downcast eyes, he twitched the corners of his lips, walked away without saying anything up.

Ye Shuli and the others waited for him first, and when they saw him come back with the jade pendant, they bid farewell to Duke Qing together, and left the mansion after a few polite words.

Sitting in the carriage on Mount Li, Ye Shuli saw that Chu Heng's eyes were condensed, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with Yan Yunfei?"

Chu Heng played with the jade pendant in his hand, and said lightly: "It's nothing, I just thought about it, Duke Qing's mansion may not be a good place for Yan Yunfei, it might as well be him in the Hall of Martial Heroes. The boy in green who waited on him looked Quietly, in fact, he is a top master who suppresses the realm, and the actual realm is higher than all of you, what do you think?"

Ye Shuli let out an "ah" and trembled unconsciously.

Chu Heng pulled the corner of his lips: "Otherwise, you think that his cousin Yan Huabin is so big-hearted and doesn't want to know what you two said to Yan Yunfei at all?"

Ye Shuli shook his fan and sighed a few times, then suddenly remembered something, and said to Chu Heng: "By the way, brother, I discussed with Xinghui Chuanshu a while ago, and I want to use your name to do some business. , you will share [-]% of the money you earn, what do you think?"

Chu Heng absent-mindedly said "um", "whatever you want, what business?"

"Don't worry." Ye Shuli spread out his fan with the word "reliable" written on it, and waved his big hand: "It's just to use your name, and it won't ruin your reputation. By the way, do it well." I can help you if you are in trouble. In short, I will not let you lose money, don’t you feel relieved when I do business?”

Chu Heng didn't think about it, so he just nodded casually.

①Conspiracy of great treason is an act of premeditating to damage imperial tombs, ancestral temples, and palaces. It is one of the "ten evils" and is a felony.

②Han Chengmiao and the Tianzi Yingwei were involved in the Zhadichuntai incident, which was mentioned many times in the previous article, such as Chapter 24. Note that Dichuntai is two groups of people, a few ordinary little thieves (unrelated to the cloud), and A very powerful uninvited guest (unknown, Dong Jun was the biggest suspect, and He Lantuo was the one who dumped the blame).Yun Fei and Hua have seen each other before, but Hua is innocent, let me talk about it first to prevent misunderstanding, and it will be mentioned later in the article.Dichuntai has also been written in detail in Chapters 20 and 25 of No.[-].
