The alien god of war has to be my cat

When Ah Fei went to investigate the queen's whereabouts that night, Zhou Huaiyan also learned some secrets of the White Horse Temple from his uncle.As he expected, it was indeed related to the battle for the heir apparent during the late emperor's time.

Emperor Zhou was the fourth son, no matter civil or military, he was more than superior than inferior, and the power of his mother clan was nothing special, apart from a good skin, he basically disappeared among the princes.But there is one thing, the vision of picking women is good.And the first person he chose was Jiang Min.

Afterwards, the two made their love in a hundred-year-old plum tree.

Zhou Huaiyan was sitting on the mahogany square chair in front of the desk, while the kitten was standing in front of his knees with its back facing, bending over the table, studying ink seriously.

Since I asked Master Wei for leave in the morning, I don't need to practice martial arts anymore, so I have to find something to do.Zhou Huaiyan took a thin paintbrush and began to sort out his thoughts.

Since he regards Ah Fei as his confidant, he naturally wants to teach him something.

"My uncle said that my mother should have married him as his wife at the time, but that year, the capital city was full of blood due to the seizure of the heirloom, and the previous generation of alien kings also took advantage of the situation and led an army south."

Zhou Huaiyan dipped the vermilion paint with a brush, and continued to trace and draw lines on the kitten's back casually.Although the handwriting is not good, the painting skills of this hand can be called superb.

——The distribution map of his Mo Baima Temple in the states of Dazhou.

At that time, the Jiang family stood up, Wei Guogong Jiang Yi went north to fight, but his younger sister Jiang Min went south secretly alone, preparing to suppress King Jing's rebellion.

"Later, my uncle pacified the northern border and directly led [-] elite soldiers to the south of the Yangtze River by water to suppress King Jing's rebellion. That's when Master Jian Kong from the White Horse Temple appeared."

Ah Fei tried hard to remember what the master said, but his cheeks became hot uncontrollably, and he subconsciously bit his cheeks.I don't know why, but the master wanted to use red for painting, but he didn't use cinnabar. Instead, he found a woman's vermilion rouge and asked him to add water to grind it into juice.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Ah Fei was still obedient and grinded seriously, but every time the young man wrote a pen, his fingertips would tremble a few times.At this time, he saw that beautiful finger pinching the pen and dipping it into the inkstone again.Then, the kitten took a breath, subconsciously tightened its muscles, and really felt a bit of coolness again.The soft tip of the pure wolf hair is carrying the vermilion rouge wantonly, but it suddenly stagnates slightly,

"Tsk."

Zhou Huaiyan frowned, pinched his waist to show his dissatisfaction,

"Why do you add so much water? The color is too pale."

"Ah...Master forgive me."

Ah Fei panicked in fright, and immediately turned the color darker.The vermilion color was smeared in the inkstone, and the pleasant smell of rouge was smeared in the room immediately.

Zhou Huaiyan picked up the pen and dipped it again, the rich color on the tip of the pen was particularly beautiful.

"Ah."

The picky Ninth Prince was finally satisfied.So he withdrew his strength, and lightly stroked the soft red spot a few times, which was regarded as soothing.

"It's just that the first emperor gave the eldest daughter of Zhen Guohou's eldest daughter, who is now the empress, to the emperor..."

Zhou Huaiyan spoke slowly, although he was talking to Ah Fei, but he was actually sorting out the hidden threads.

If everything is a huge jigsaw puzzle, he has already pieced together a rough outline in his mind, and only needs to make up some details to integrate it into a perfect picture.

Then, catch all the ghosts in the mist and wipe them out one by one.

Zhou Huaiyan traced the strongholds of the White Horse Temple one after another, connecting them into a line, and gradually outlined a huge ambition.

at the same time--

call......

Ah Fei finally heaved a sigh of relief from her clenched heart.He carefully adjusted the ratio of rouge and water so as not to offend the master again.

Speaking of displeasure, Ah Fei thought about that night again, and felt sad and ashamed at once.The night before, he had soiled a lot of paper that the master had used for drawing.Xiaomao quietly asked Hongdou that the paper was extremely expensive and was specially shipped from Jiangnan, and he couldn't even buy a few sheets if he sold it.So he could only pay off the debt with his own body, and act as the master's drawing paper himself.For some reason, Zhou Huaiyan didn't want to use more gorgeous and beautiful cinnabar, but insisted on using rouge that is easy to smudge as a pigment.

It is estimated that after this painting, the more expensive and exquisite wolf hair brush will not be used anymore

Ah Fei felt that she was really a prodigal.Not only can't make money for the master, but also broke many things of the master.Be careful today, tonight, and don't damage the master's things again.

Snapped!

——Very crisp sound.

Zhou Huaiyan was expressionless, and suddenly hit the disobedient cat,

"My Highness has been telling you for so long, but you are actually distracted?!"

"Master forgive me!"

Ah Fei trembled in shock, and immediately knelt down, almost hiding her whole body under the huge desk. He quietly rubbed his heels against the buttocks that had been hit just now, trying to dispel the terrible itching on it.It's just that before Zhou Huaiyan could speak a lesson, there was a familiar knock on the door outside——

"Boom, boom."

The boy glanced at the kitten kneeling below, and replied casually,

"Enter."

The maid of honor came in, and saw that Zhou Huaiyan was sitting in front of the desk, and there was no sign of Ah Fei. A slightly surprised look appeared on her face, but she didn't dare to ask more about the master, so she just bowed and saluted.

"Your Highness, a few monks from the White Horse Temple came to the Buddhist hall and said that they wanted to chant scriptures to cleanse His Highness's Qiwu Palace. All the palaces of the emperor need to be purged, and today is the turn of Xiwu Palace."

"......White Horse Temple?"

— This is really interesting.

The last piece of his puzzle was missing.

Zhou Huaiyan thought about it, and was going to go out to meet him.After all, the study is his private domain, Zhou Huaiyan generally doesn't like outsiders entering, and mostly meets guests in the main hall outside.

But when he lowered his head, he saw the kitten knelt under the desk, because he wanted to draw on his body, so Ah Fei didn't wear any clothes on his upper body.In the dark corner, the ice-white complexion was covered with a layer of dark light, and a bit of rouge color could be vaguely seen on the side of the tight waist.Zhou Huaiyan suddenly felt a little mischievous.Tapping the table lightly with the finger bones, the Ninth Prince gave an order,

"Call the leader in, His Highness has something to ask."

"......Yes."

【Why is Your Highness meeting guests in the study today? 】

The palace lady was very surprised, but she still didn't dare to ask more questions.Just before leaving, Hongdou couldn't help but glance around the study room, but still couldn't find any trace of Ah Fei.

【It's really strange...】

Hongdou frowned, she didn't remember seeing anyone coming out.

The grand lady was a little confused, but she didn't think too much about it. Since she went in with His Highness, His Highness must be aware of the disappearance of the person.She still remembers that last time, she was punished to the precept hall because she intervened in the master's affairs on her own initiative.

She learned a lot from a pit, and the grand lady no longer wants to get involved in A Fei's affairs.

Thinking of this, she walked quickly to the main hall to carry out her master's order.When the door was closed, Ah Fei immediately grabbed the young man's robe corner, touching his chest and abdomen against his calf, begging for mercy in a low voice,

"Wrong... Slave is wrong, master, Ah Fei will not dare to distract herself next time."

Ah Fei didn't realize that she was becoming more and more unruly in front of Zhou Huaiyan.Not only do you have to hug and pull, but you don't even obey the iron law that servants must call themselves slaves.

Similarly, Zhou Huaiyan didn't realize that he was giving in and pampering without a bottom line.He played with the thin wolf hair brush in his hand, his tone could not be discerned to appease his anger,

"Then tell me, what made you so absorbed that you didn't even listen to what His Highness said?"

"slave......"

Ah Fei held back for a long time, but didn't even think of an excuse.In fact, he is not stupid, and he has also practiced the skills required for fine work during training.But his master is too smart and sensitive, Ah Fei is very afraid.

"咚咚-"

Red Bean knocked on the door,

"Your Highness, Master Jingchen is here."

"Well, come in."

Zhou Huaiyan took off his shoes, stepped on the kitten's waist, and pushed him to the innermost corner.

"Ugh..."

Hongdou frowned, and looked around again. She always felt that she heard something just now, was it an illusion?

But since the person had already arrived, the grand lady bowed and left immediately.

Close the door.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."

The monks saluted respectfully.

"Well, no need to be polite."

Zhou Huaiyan frowned, noticed the rouge stained on his fingertips, and casually threw the Langhao brush on the table.

I didn't notice it just now, but I got my hands dirty.

The boy couldn't help but want to find a handkerchief to wipe, but he's not one to carry handkerchiefs with him, and Hongdou kept those little things for him.

Zhou Huaiyan loves cleanliness. Although he is not a clean freak, it is still uncomfortable to have this kind of greasy rouge on his hands.He couldn't help rubbing his finger bones, with a displeased look on his face.

The monk standing at the door thought that he had offended His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. He tentatively said,

"Reporting to Your Highness, the poor monk and others came today to chant scriptures to cleanse His Highness's bedroom."

"Well, His Highness knows."

Zhou Huaiyan no longer cared about the rouge on his hand, but looked up at Jing Chen standing at the door,

"Master Jingchen, don't be nervous. My Highness called you here today just to ask... Greetings to Master Jian Kong."

In the middle of speaking, Zhou Huaiyan suddenly felt hot and humid fingertips, as if some small animal had licked it.There is a kitten hidden under here, and you don't need to look down to know who is doing it.He squeezed the restless little cat's tongue, and then stepped on the opponent's waist and abdomen, with slightly increased strength, with a hint of warning.However, just for a moment, he felt something directly pressed against his heel.

"...tsk."

Is it because winter is over?But on the surface, the boy still looked as usual, but the position of his feet was slightly lowered.He looked at Jing Chen and continued to speak,

"Back then, my uncle built a Min'an Pavilion for my mother, and the word 'Min'an' on it was inscribed by Master Jiankong. So today when I heard that the monk master from the White Horse Temple is coming, my uncle specifically asked him to ask about the master's recent situation."

"I see!"

Hearing that it was because of the most extraordinary Master Jiankong, who also had an old friend, Jingchen's mood immediately became clear, and even his words and expressions were a little excited.

"Returning to His Highness, Master Jian Kong is currently preparing for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven in the temple. Everything is going well, and the poor monk will definitely convey it to Master Jian Kong!"

It is normal for monks to be respectful to the high-status masters in the temple, but Zhou Huaiyan is a little concerned about such worship and even fanaticism.

He has collected information on White Horse Temple. This master Jian Kong saved tens of thousands of displaced people during the rebellion of King Jing. .

Later, the White Horse Temple was promoted to a national temple by the first emperor, so the status of Master Jian Kong was even higher.

Zhou Huaiyan remained calm and continued to talk,

"Oh, speaking of it, it is indeed the day of offering sacrifices to the heavens. My Highness remembers the emperor's offerings to the heavens, and there are a lot of preparations. This year, Master Jian Kong is presiding over it. He must have been busy with this matter very early, so Not even the New Year's Eve banquet."

The boy looks distressed,

"His Royal Highness has specially prepared a small gift, thinking of sending it during the New Year's Eve banquet, so as to thank this master who has been kind to my mother."

The Ninth Prince looked natural, with a smile on his face. No one could see that he was bullying a curled up and trembling kitten. , He even prepared a gift, the original psychological defense line was completely removed, and even the bad feeling towards the Ninth Prince due to the rumors before had dissipated a lot.

"Your Highness is troubled. The matter of offering sacrifices to heaven is of great importance. Master Jiankong has been preparing for it since last summer, and he has never left the temple for a single day. The day of offering sacrifices to heaven is approaching. For the sake of the common people and the common people, he is the leader of the palace." The New Year's Eve feast has no choice but to decline."

For the common people in the world?Common people?

If these words are put into modern times, Zhou Huaiyan thinks that the other party is either a rumor/sale, or some kind of evil/religion.Looking at the flushed face of the monk in front of him, he felt a bit like the latter.The questions that should be asked have been asked, and the things he wants are basically covered.Zhou Huaiyan originally wanted to say a few words, but suddenly felt something strange under his feet.Then his socks got wet.

"..."

He immediately realized what happened, couldn't help but hold his forehead, and directly opened his mouth to drive people away.

"I don't need to bother Master Jingchen about chanting the scriptures to get rid of the filth. Please go back."

"This......?"

Jingchen didn't expect that this person would change his face as soon as he said it, and was interrupted when he was about to say something.

"This time, His Royal Highness will go with Father and Emperor, so that we can get rid of the filth in the White Horse Temple."

Having said all this, Jingchen had no choice but to resign.After the door was closed, Zhou Huaiyan slowly lowered his head to look at the kitten.The latter knelt in the corner, with a very beautiful curved backline, trembling like a longbow that just shot an arrow, and the corners of his lips were still faintly rouge.

Once upon a time, Zhou Huaiyan liked to stick his feet into the cat's belly to keep warm.

Because regardless of his previous life or present life, he was afraid of the cold.

In winter, the most enjoyable thing every day is to suddenly put the cold hands and feet on the softest and warmest belly of the cat.

The cat owner will always be caught off guard by the cold, and then jump away cursing.Only today, it was the first time that he got his socks wet.

"Tsk,"

Hearing some suppressed sobs from below, Zhou Huaiyan suddenly felt a headache,

"What are you crying for, huh? What are you crying for?"

The author has something to say:

Quiet!calm!Hair is always a decent person!
