【warn! ! !The life safety of the target is about to be threatened, please take immediate measures...]

He Yang frowned, subconsciously grabbed Chu Ziyu's hand, and the latter staggered into his arms.

Ji Ting stopped suddenly, his eyes met He Yang's cold gaze in horror, and the cold light in his sleeves quickly disappeared.

"Ji Xiao!" Chu Ziyu knew nothing about the whole process, and stood up angrily, with red eyes.

He Yang clasped his waist, smiled rascally, and shot Ji Ting a warning from the corner of his eye.

A crisis was resolved invisibly, Ji Ting lowered his head and stepped back half a step, pretending nothing happened.After He Yang sent the little emperor back to his bedroom, his voice was cold: "Come out with me."

The moment the two passed by, Ji Ting pursed his lower lip, hesitating for a moment as his eyes swept over Chu Ziyu, and after a while, he resigned himself to following He Yang's footsteps.

From the palace to the busy city, He Yang didn't say a word all the way. Ji Ting followed behind and couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could clearly feel that his brother was very angry at the moment.

He Yang turned into an abandoned alley, stopped and turned around, turned around unexpectedly and gave Ji Ting a hard punch, pulling his collar and throwing it against the rough brick wall.

Ji Ting grunted in pain, hit a brick on the back of his head, and begged for mercy: "Brother, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, don't hit me."

"Do you dare next time, huh?" He Yang withdrew some strength from his hand, his face was gloomy: "I remember I warned you more than once, don't meddle in my affairs."

Ji Ting's Adam's apple rolled, his chest heaved up and down, and his eyes were covered with mist. He licked the corner of his mouth, hissed softly in pain, and said in a hoarse voice, "Even if you beat me to death today, I still have to say, brother, you Open your eyes and see what kind of chaos this imperial city is now!"

He Yang loosened his collar, turned his head, and happened to pass by a group of troops outside the narrow alley, each of them was armed with weapons, they were undoubtedly the inner guards of the royal family by their attire.

Ji Ting rubbed his head, and said angrily: "You turn a blind eye to these things and spend all your time on Chu Ziyu, eating, drinking, playing... these trivial things, but he sees you, okay? ? The only person who thinks about past friendship is you."

"Enough talk?" He Yang raised his eyebrows with the same expression.

"Not enough." Ji Ting walked up to him quickly, pointed to his face and said, "I'm your own brother, and you beat me so hard."

He Yang couldn't help but hooked his lips into a smile, patted his face lightly, and threatened: "Next time, brother will give you a pig's head."

"..."

Yongchang Houfu

"Hahahahaha..."

"It's almost done, you laughed and it's almost time for a cup of tea." Ji Ting was holding a porcelain bowl, and a boiled egg was floating on the water, the shell had been peeled off, and it was shining white.

Xiao Shizi wiped away the tears from his laughter, leaned down on the table exhausted, and asked, "So why don't you fight back? Is it because you can't fight?"

Ji Ting frowned, put down the porcelain bowl, and said with a light smile, "Even if my brother beats me to death, I can't fight back. My life and so many years of happy life in the imperial city are all caused by my brother's injuries." In exchange for illness."

"That's right." Xiao Shizi sneered, tilted his head and said sarcastically: "If Ji Xiao hadn't shouldered the crimes of the past, the fate of the General's Mansion and our Hou's Mansion would be the same."

"I've done what you said. This body injury is the evidence. Although it hasn't succeeded yet, this matter can't be rushed overnight. I have shown my sincerity. How about you?"

Xiao Shizi rolled his eyes, and the scarlet skirt made him a little more charming: "I can promise you, but if you don't want to fulfill the promise after it's done, don't blame me for doing it yourself."

"It's a word."

Ji Ting agreed very readily, since the situation was urgent, he didn't care about the consequences.

The whole city is in full swing, and a sense of chill spreads silently. On the other side, the barbarian's little Khan is also gathering troops, waiting to cooperate with Shen Taifu.

Whether they are in the bright place or the dark place, everyone's hearts are hanging in the air. The imperial city in the evening reveals the tranquility before the storm.

Only He Yang, who was clearly in the center of the vortex, wandered around the city as if he was not involved.

In fact, he was wandering on purpose.

"Can you help me locate the best blacksmith shop in the city?"

[Yes, but what are you looking for at the blacksmith shop at this time? 】

He Yang: This world quest is almost over. Before leaving, I will give him a souvenir.

[Friendly reminder from the system: You are not allowed to violate the established rules of this world, such as language, behavior, items, information, etc. that do not belong to this world, all of which will cause collapse. 】

"When did you add such a rule?" He Yang asked with a hint of vigilance in his heart.

[The rules generated after the system was upgraded to 2.0. 】

"What I'm going to keep doesn't violate the rules."

He Yang followed the location coordinates and quickly found the blacksmith's shop. A thick-backed middle-aged man was forging iron at the door, and the red-hot iron was smashed with a hammer, sparks scattered everywhere.

Seeing someone approaching, the blacksmith stopped and greeted in a rough voice: "Stay away."

He Yang nodded, moved back a few steps, and watched the blacksmith forging with great interest, the shape should be a farm tool like a hoe.

"It seems that the lives of the people have been stable these years. He is a benevolent king."

He Yangzheng was feeling a little emotional, when suddenly a man came out from behind, tall and strong, it was the Hu businessman whom he met outside the city, and he was also the little Khan of the Hu people.

"Brother Ji, we meet again."

"What a coincidence." He Yang smiled calmly, not at all surprised by Chang Shao's appearance: "Last time we said goodbye by fate, and we met again after such a long time. It seems that there is indeed a lot of fate."

Chang Shao avoided talking about sending people to follow him, and chatted: "Is there something wrong with Brother Ji?"

"Well, there is indeed one thing." He Yang's expression was serious, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: It turned out that he was curious about my movements, and he showed up to test for fear of affecting tomorrow's plan.

"Oh? Is it convenient to talk about it?" Chang Shao asked with interest.

He Yang looked complicated, he lowered his head and chuckled: "My sweetheart once gave me a gift, but I accidentally damaged the corner, so I came here to repair it."

"...Just, just for this?" Chang Shao was eloquent, and there was a rare day when he couldn't answer, his face was full of doubts.

"Wishing to have someone's heart and never parting from each other is not the most important thing in life." He Yang took out the dagger that he had worn for a long time from his waist, turned his head and asked with a smile: "Brother Chang Shao has someone he likes?" ?”

"No." Shang Shao looked contemptuous, and the corner of his mouth twitched reluctantly agreed: "I guess Brother Ji's sweetheart must be a virtuous girl."

"Wrong, he is a coquettish, angry and narrow-minded...man." He Yang's expression was natural, and his tone was normal, as if there was nothing to shy away from behaviors that violated the rules and ethics.

Chang Shao took two steps back reflexively, and then took half a step forward with the same hands and feet, and said in a natural tone: "That's really good."

He Yang: You won't die of nausea.

Chang Shao: Where am I now?Why do I have to come this way?

After seeing off the uninvited guest, the blacksmith's work was almost finished. He grabbed the cloth strip around his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and asked He Yang, "What do you want to repair?"

It was obvious that they had heard their conversation just now, but they looked at He Yang in the same way.

"A dagger." He Yang handed it up with both hands to show his respect.

The blacksmith took it over and checked it, nodded and said, "It can be repaired, are you in a hurry?"

"It's best before tomorrow." He Yang thought for a moment, then added: "I also want to engrave a character."

"Then you come in and wait, I'll fix it for you."

next morning

The little eunuch who waited for the wash secretly handed the emperor a note, and then stood there with his hands down as if nothing had happened.

Chu Ziyu opened it and saw that it was written in black and white—everything is ready, and the signature is a heavy word.

The note was crushed in the palm of his hand, which hurt his nerves, and he ordered in a hoarse voice: "Come here, please invite General Ji to enter the palace for a briefing."

This was the first time he took the initiative to summon Ji Xiao into the palace, and it was also the last time.

He Yang walked to the gate of the palace with a dagger in his arms, and happened to run into the eunuch who was summoned. The two of them arrived at the bedroom together but were told by the guards that Chu Ziyu had gone to the imperial garden early in the morning.

It is no longer the season for the apricot blossoms to bloom, and the lush branches and leaves appear listless due to hastily breaking ground and transplanting. He Yang saw a person sitting at the stone table under the tree from a distance, with untied hair crown and black hair hanging down his neck.

"Ziyu, what do you need from me?" He Yang sat down on the stone bench opposite, glanced down, there was a mess of black and white chess pieces on the table.

The little emperor waved to the palace people behind him, everyone retreated silently, only the two of them were left beside the apricot tree.

"How about playing this game of chess with me?" The little emperor picked up the white pieces, looked at the chessboard with lowered eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, "Today I must really win you once."

"Then why do you want to make a mess?" He Yang grabbed a handful of sunspots, moved his fingertips slightly, and each piece fell back into the chess box, making a crisp collision sound.

"Because..." Chu Ziyu's voice trembled, and his tone was restrained: "I can't start from the beginning anymore."

He Yang snorted, ran his fingertips through his black hair, twirled a small withered vine and put it in his palm, jokingly said, "Is Ziyu starting to hurt the spring and the autumn in this season?"

"Forget it, it's rare that you're interested, so I'll play a game with you." He Yang adjusted his sleeves, and when he looked up and saw the little emperor staring at him motionlessly, he couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter? Apricot blossom?"

"It's nothing, let's get started." The little emperor took the lead, with a bit of reckless determination.

He Yang sees through and doesn't tell, black pieces are biting white pieces tightly, the chessboard is filled with gunpowder, but his face is still calm: "I waited for half a night at the blacksmith's shop last night, and I will give you some money later." something."

"What?" Chu Ziyu asked absent-mindedly, staring at the chess game intently.

His chess skill is indeed slightly inferior to that of He Yang, no matter how hard he racks his brains, he can't break the deadlock.

He Yang yawned, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, he propped his forehead and said with a smile, "I'll tell you after this game."

The little emperor remained silent, holding the last chess piece in his hands and thinking hard. Time was flowing extremely slowly at this moment, almost approaching a standstill. The breeze lifted his hair, and He Yang stretched out his hand——

"Slap." Luo Zi has no regrets.

A strand of blue silk ran across He Yang's fingertips and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the sound of well-trained footsteps approached, and the inner guards in uniform broke in.

The leader is none other than Taifu Shen.
