Notes on Evil Fox

A familiar voice came, and Rong Shiyin raised his head.

I saw Lu Fanan standing on the porch, as if his body was also tainted with the coolness of the season, clear and cold, no longer youthful vitality.

Rong Shiyin looked at Lu Fan'an, and remembered the high-spirited, unrestrained and extraordinary young man when he first met.Instinctively murmured in his mouth: "Is it possible that after the warm spring next year, everything can start again."

Lu Fanan approached and looked at him puzzled.

Rong Shiyin just came to his senses, and hurriedly hid the half-carved jade in his sleeve, and hurriedly said, "It's nothing."

Lu Fanan watched Rong Shiyin's movements, but didn't ask any more questions, just said softly: "I heard that you were promoted again today, but unfortunately I have nothing now, and I have to rely on you to support me, so I can't congratulate you Congratulations on the promotion."

"I'm sorry." Rong Shiyin said in a low voice.

"I said I don't blame you." Lu Fanan imitated Rong Shiyin's action before calling him, and looked up at the scattered stars in the sky, "I don't understand and don't want to understand the affairs of the court. That's you The things you earn for your life are not taken from me, there is really no need for this."

"But I," Rong Shiyin looked at Lu Fanan, whose eyes were full of stars, "made your home disappear."

"Yeah, my home is gone." Then looking at the stars in the sky, as if thinking of something, he slowly evoked a sad smile, "But, he wants me to be happy."

Rong Shiyin didn't know what to say, but just looked at him with pity.

Lu Fanan thought to himself: "Maybe he really isn't a good person, and he was always scheming until his death. But in my heart, he is just the best father in the world."

"I remember when I was young, my father was assassinated. After the assassin was caught, his accomplices took me hostage and threatened my father. At that time, the knife was on my neck, but it almost took half of my father's life." Life."

"When I was ten years old, I had a high fever because of my elder brother. A man as proud as my father, but in order to ask for a prescription for me, he was born under the eyes of everyone, at the door of that weird doctor. I knelt for a long time."

"In these years, I have never stopped making big and small troubles. Although he said harshly, he never really punished me once."

"It's the same this time. The reason why he raised the white flag early was to protect my life."

Lu Fan'an slowly spread those old things in front of Rong Shiyin, his tone was still unreasonably flat, but Rong Shiyin could feel the indescribably heavy sadness in him.

"Do you hate me?" After a long time, Rong Shiyin asked this sentence with difficulty.

"I don't know." Lu Fanan lowered his eyes, and answered seriously, "I don't know whether I should hate, nor who I should hate."

"You should hate me."

Lu Fanan just shook his head this time.

After being silent for a long time, he said, "I want to pay homage to my father."

"I'll arrange it in two days."

"it is good."

……

"Have you heard what happened this morning?" At the entrance of the main hall, among the officials waiting to go to court, an old man with a white beard asked a short, fat middle-aged official beside him.

"Is it about the second prince?"

"Exactly."

"This is a strange thing. It is unheard of for three scalpers to kneel in front of the prince's mansion." At this moment, an official from the side also came over.

"More than that," the white-bearded official looked around, and said in a low voice, "I heard that the three cattle are old cattle that are used for farming by the farm. For some reason, they suddenly ran from various villages here this morning. In the city, they guarded the door of the second prince by coincidence. When the second prince came out, they all knelt down in front of him."

"is it?"

"Yes, and it is said that the three farmers who came to look for cattle were from different places, and they had never met each other."

"It's really weird." The middle-aged official shook his head and sighed.

While everyone was whispering to each other, it was time to go to court.At the entrance of the main hall, Zhu Yan, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, took advantage of his unpreparedness and quietly gave Rong Shiyin a look, and the latter nodded to him unobtrusively.

It was still a routine in the hall. After all the officials played one by one, when they were about to go down, Zhu Yan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin Tianjian observed the sky at night in recent days, and found that the Ziwei star was abnormally bright, and there were sometimes Surrounded by auspicious clouds. Until yesterday, when Zi Chou handed over, the auspicious clouds condensed into a three-legged tripod and surrounded the Ziwei star, which is a sign of good luck for the world to return to the heart, and the pot to go to blessings.”

"In recent years, I have been facing constant wars in the western region, coupled with frequent disturbances from natural disasters, which is a disaster. The general who protects the country will leave for the battlefield in the western region in three days. This omen must be a sign of great victory. There will be rewards." Xia Tuo Towards a rare laugh.

The emperor didn't know what was going on in Beijing today, but Liang Xiaoxian had heard about it, so he couldn't help frowning at this moment.

Just as puzzled as he was, there was the right prime minister Wang Cao standing silently on the other side.

……

"But how does this make the cow obedient?" Ruyi looked at Rong Shiyin and Guan Xing in front of her, puzzled.

Rong Shiyin took a sip of his tea, and said intentionally, "It's a wonderful plan, don't talk about it."

Ruyi turned to Guan Xing, complaining dissatisfiedly: "Guan Xing, tell me, don't play charades like Brother Rong."

Guan Xing looked at Ruyi's head that was approaching, moved back, and said, "My lord said, don't say it, then you can't say it."

"You look honest, why are you like this?" Ruyi turned her back dissatisfied.

Just at this moment, Shangyue walked in, bowed to Rong Shiyin and said, "My lord, the news has already been spread."

"Okay, hard work."

"Why do you retreat to the side, I won't eat you." Ruyi looked at Zishangyue after she came in, and then slowly moved to the side to keep the distance from her.

"I, I didn't..." Ruyi's sudden voice drew the gazes of Rong Shiyin and Shangyue, stargazers became hot, and stammered under the eyes of everyone.

"Miss Ruyi, little... Stargazing is shy, it's not intentional." Shangyue subconsciously blocks in front of Guanxing.

Ruyi didn't mean anything else, it was just a joke, but Shangyue's sudden maintenance made the situation a little awkward.

Rong Shiyin's eyes turned back and forth between the three people in front of him, and finally stopped on stargazing and moon admiring.Both of them are dressed in black, stargazing is not yet a weak crown, while Shangyue is two or three years older than him. Over the years of killer career, the real age of the two has gradually become less obvious under the blade.But at this time, there are more impulses and emotions that should be at this age.

"Okay, watching the moon and watching the stars, you two brothers have been too busy for a long time to talk, go down and rest." Rong Shiyin looked at them, perhaps thinking of himself and Lu Fanan, The words resolved the embarrassment of the three of them.

After the two went down, Ruyi said slowly: "These two are so strange."

Rong Shiyin was afraid that she would discover something and make those two embarrassing again in the future, so he changed the subject and said, "Don't you want to know how to control those cows?"

"What kind of witchcraft?" Ruyi was indeed distracted.

"no?"

"Where is it?"

"It's very simple. Animal trainers." Rong Shiyin said calmly, "I found three animal trainers, and let them live in the cowshed with the cows every night. Those animal trainers are all first-class masters. , The beasts they train only recognize them. That morning, let a few good dark guards lead the animal trainer to quietly lead the cattle to the city, and everything will be fine. Isn't it very simple?"

"You asked the animal trainer to tame the cattle? And let the animal trainer live with the cattle?" Ruyi looked at Rong Shiyin in disbelief, shook her head and whispered, "What a sinister and strange flower."

"Huh?" Rong Shiyin cast a slanted glance at Ruyi.

"No wonder those farmers said that their cattle had never left the cowshed. That morning, the people present also said that they saw the cattle running wildly on the road." Ruyi ignored him, only wrinkled her face in disappointment, and sighed , straightened his face, and said a little puzzled, "Right now, rumors are spreading all over the city. Qin Tianjian said that three auspicious clouds surround Ziwei Star. Dachang is a country of farming, and three oxen kneel down to worship the second prince in the street, which is what the people want. This vision just foretells the second prince's destiny as an emperor. Are you going to help the second prince proclaim himself emperor?"

"Yes."

"Can……"

"Don't worry, I have my own considerations."

"Yes, so what are we going to do next?"

"Next, it depends on the ability of the Wang family." Rong Shiyin smiled, but it made people feel a little creepy, "And we only need to be the hunters behind the oriole."

……

"The lower officials would like to congratulate the Second Prince on his ascension to the crown prince in advance." Wang Baoyin said with a smile.

"Where is it, father hasn't issued an order yet, it's still too early to say anything." The second prince Xia Changming said modestly with a smile.

"Second prince, don't worry, you are the chosen one, and the Wang family will definitely help you." Wang Baoyin said with a bit of complacency.

Before Xia Changming could answer, Wang Cao, who had been sitting on one side, frowned and said, "However, everything seems to be too coincidental and smooth. The Wang family is powerful, and the second prince happened to encounter strange things. Qin Tian The prisoner saw the omen of the sky again. What a coincidence."

"Father, you are just being too careful." Wang Baoyin said noncommittally, "The Wang family has always been like this. Now that Lu Kun is down, Rong Shiyin is in power, but he is still a brat and can't handle much. It's a little bit, but it should be so. As for what happened to the second prince, I have already sent someone to investigate. Those cows have not been tampered with, and there is no trace of drug control. Besides, the Qin Tianjian has always been questioned by the emperor himself. , is not attached to any party, and the news cannot be false."

Wang Cao wanted to say something else, but the second prince Xia Changming also said at this time: "Your Excellency may be too worried, but please rest assured that we will be more careful in our actions. Besides, there are two adults sitting outside the palace, and there are still people in the palace. With the help of the imperial grandmother, there will be no chance for others to take advantage of."

When Wang Cao saw that Xia Changming had said something to this point, and Wang Baoyin echoed him next to him, it was inconvenient to say anything more.He just told the two of them to act cautiously.

……

On the day when he led Lu Fanan to worship Lu Kun, because Rong Shiyin was sitting in the carriage, Lu Fanan was still dressed in white, and he left the city easily without any disguise.

Rong Shiyin and Lu Fanan got out of the carriage at the foot of the mountain and drove all the way to the mountainside.

Approaching Lu Kun's tomb, Rong Shiyin suddenly stopped, pointed to the cemetery, and said, "I'll wait for you here."

Rong Shiyin turned around awkwardly, although Lu Kun's death was not directly caused by him.But he was always a direct participant in this matter, and Lu Fanan didn't know the details of the whole process.

He was afraid of disturbing the deceased, and even more afraid of making him unhappy.

The author has something to say:

Stargazing and moongazing will be the main supporting roles in the next book. Because of the different background settings, they are rarely mentioned in this story.
