[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

The sky was slightly bright, and lights were lit in various places of Xuanying Palace one after another. The female officials who served the king got up early. Under the leadership, they lined up in two rows and set off towards the road bed.

The road bedroom was far away from the place where the female officials lived, and when Si Qiu arrived, it was already daylight.Chief Si Qiu instructed the Si Qius to place good things, knelt in front of the bed and respectfully begged the Lord: "Master, it's time to get up"

However, there was no movement in the curtain, Chief Si Qiu was used to it, and repeated: "My lord, it's time to get up."

After saying it 3 times in a row, Chief Si Qiu who still didn't get a response got up and walked forward: "My lord, I'm sorry," he said, and opened the curtain.But who knows that there are only two pillows in the brocade quilt.

The king is gone again.At this moment, Si Qiu hurried in and bowed to Chief Si Qiu: "The lord is at the side hall where King Liu is."

Sure enough, Chief Si Qiu was not at all surprised why Wang, who had rested in the road bed yesterday, would appear in the side hall the next day, and must have sneaked out of the window at night.If the Chief Tian knew about it, Wang would have to be talked about again.

On the other hand, Si Qiu who was assigned to serve King Liu was relatively young, obviously not as experienced as those Si Qiu who had been serving King Liu all the year round.As soon as he opened the curtain, he was so frightened by the inexplicably extra king on the bed that he immediately knelt down on the ground.

Shang Long woke up earlier than Zhaoyang, looked at the Si Qius kneeling on the ground, smiled and waved: "Get up."

The leader, Qiu Rulin, gave an amnesty, quickly got up and stepped aside, and asked someone to send a message to Chief Si Qiu.But he looked at Liu Wang who was still sleeping soundly, and then at his own king sitting next to Liu Wang, hesitating whether to step forward to wake Liu Wang up.

Fortunately, Shang Long was sitting idle, so he simply pulled the sleepy Zhaoyang out of the bed, and beckoned Si Qiu to bring Zhaoyang's clothes.Zhaoyang was half asleep and half awake, leaning against Shang Long with sleepy eyes, allowing him to fiddle with him up and down.

It's just that women's clothes are always more complicated than men's clothes, let alone formal dresses.Shang Long had never dressed a woman before, he was fledgling and inexperienced, so that when Si Qiu arrived, Shang Long was still struggling with Zhaoyang's clothes.The way he was dressed was so horrible that he couldn't look directly at it.Si Qiuchang, who really couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and taught his own Wang one by one.

In Si Qiuchang's voice of "No, no, my lord, you should do this, and then that", Zhaoyang's sleepiness was more than half gone.Looking at Shang Long who was dressing himself, he giggled: "I didn't expect that King Yan, who has ruled the world for 500 years, would be stumped by such a trivial matter."

Shang Long would not be blocked by Zhaoyang's words, and nodded seriously: "What Ma'am said is, I didn't expect that getting dressed is much more difficult than undressing for my husband." The meaning in the words is self-evident.The Si Qius on the side covered their mouths and laughed, their Wang and Liu Wang are really affectionate.

Zhaoyang naturally understood what he heard, but couldn't think of a rebuttal, so he glanced at Shang Long angrily.

Well, to speak yellow accents in public, hum, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!

At this time in the past, Zhaoyang should have been fully dressed, but today because Shang Long delayed a lot of time, when Liu Qi and Liu Tai came, Zhaoyang was just washing up.

The sixth wife is not surprised by this. Although Liu Qi already knew about Zhaoyang and Shanglong's affair, he was still at a loss when he saw that King Yan and Zhaoyang were in the same room wearing only one lining.

The sixth wife acted as if she had come here, and beckoned Liu Qi to sit down: "Just get used to it."

That being said, Liu Qi still felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

Zhaoyang came out first, and Liu Qi saluted as soon as he saw it: "My lord"

"Liu Qi, you came just in time, and Shang Long said hello, and we will set off to go back today."

After Liu Qi nodded in response, the sixth wife immediately asked, "So soon? Don't you want to stay a few more days?"

"Yesterday, Yingli sent word that things are almost done, and they are just waiting for me to go back and preside over the overall situation."

"Are you going back this time to turn Liu Guo upside down?" At this time, Shang Long also came out of the bedroom.

"Of course." Zhaoyang replied with a smile. There are some things that need not be said explicitly, as Shang Long will understand.

At the same time, Da Si Kou's Mansion was heavily surrounded by the Forbidden Army.

Yuan Ya stood in the inner hall and reprimanded loudly: "This is my mansion, who gave you the courage to do this."

"Of course I gave it to you." After the words fell, someone walked in through the main entrance.

"It's you! Yingli." Yuan Ya's words were full of surprise, and then she said in a cold tone, "You dare to mobilize the imperial army while the Lord is not there, you know it's a serious crime."

"Da Si Kou, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. You know, without the order of the master, without the approval of the head of the tomb, how could it be possible to mobilize the imperial army with only Yingli." Qingshan said as he spoke. He brought someone in, gestured to the back, and someone stepped forward and detained Yuan Ya.

Yuan Ya's face was full of shock, "You Qingshan..."

Before Yuanya finished speaking, Qingshan interrupted: "Big Sikou, I would like to advise you, now that the evidence is solid, you might as well confess early, so as not to suffer the pain of flesh and blood." Zhulian, and said, "Oh, by the way, the right general Zhu Zhang has already confessed, and you ordered him to assassinate the Lord before she ascended the throne."

Assassinate the Lord?When did he do such a ridiculous thing? Yuan Ya was about to defend herself, but when she saw the bead chain in the hands of the green shirt, her face turned ashen for a moment, her mouth opened, and she finally lowered her head: "I did it, I did it all!" of."

After inspecting Da Sikou's mansion, Yingli and Qingshan go back together. Yingli is silent all the way, as if she has something on her mind.After playing with the bead chain in his hand for a while, Qingshan put it on his hand: "It's a good thing that Da Sikou fell from his horse, but I don't think you're happy."

Ying Li glanced at the bead chain on Qing Shan's wrist, and instead of answering Qing Shan's question, she asked, "I've never seen you wearing this bead chain before."

"What are you talking about, the gift from the girl you like is just yesterday." The green shirt showed the bead chain openly, without any shyness.

"That has to be kept well." After Yingli said this, she didn't speak again.

When Zhao Yang and Liu Qi returned to the Fragrant Palace, Yuan Ya had been taken to the prison and confessed to the crimes she committed, including the assassination of the Lord, and the people involved were also put in the prison. Yang executed.

The crimes committed by Yuan Ya are large and small, but the most serious crime is the assassination of the lord, which deserves death.However, before Zhaoyang could write the verdict, someone came to report it, and Grand Tutor He Su knelt outside.

At this time, Yingli and Qingshan were discussing with Zhaoyang in the study, while Liu Qi stood aside.

"Liu Qi, go and ask if the Taifu thinks he is too empty." Zhaoyang turned to Liu Qi and said.

Liu Qi went out in response to the sound, and not long after, he stepped into the study again, walked up to Zhaoyang, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, Tai Tuo, please hold your hand high and spare Yuan Ya's life."

"Heh, Taifu is blackmailing me." Zhaoyang sneered, she finally understood why Zhu Lufeng abdicated back then. "Tell him to kneel, he won't die anyway."

He waved his hands as he spoke, and continued to discuss the Haike matter with Qingshan and the others.

The news of Taifu kneeling outside the hall quickly spread throughout the Fragrant Palace. The immortals did not die, but they were not without pain or injury.But Zhaoyang turned a deaf ear to it, seeing the Taifu kneeling outside, he was indifferent, he should eat and drink, he didn't seem to care at all.

For immortals, as long as there is one breath, they cannot die.

The Tai Tuo just knelt outside the hall for five days with his back straight, before he came to Zhaoyang as he wished.

A shadow shrouded the top of his head, and when He Su looked up, he saw Zhao Yang surrounded by people standing in front of him.Before he could speak, Zhao Yang sighed first: "Okay, Tai Tuo, go back and rest, if you kneel down again, everyone will think that I, the king, are cold-blooded and heartless. Don't worry, I will spare his life. "

What Zhaoyang said about keeping his life was not simply Rao Yuanya's immortality. Yuanya has been an immortal for more than 100 years. If his immortality is removed, he will die within a few years.What the Tai Tuo asked for was to keep Yuanya's immortal status, but a person who lost his position but retained his immortal status is equivalent to a flying immortal, so Zhaoyang could not easily agree.

With Zhaoyang's assurance, He Su kowtowed deeply to Zhaoyang, and waited until Zhaoyang's back disappeared from sight before getting up and leaving.

Many people also expressed disapproval of Zhaoyang's move, and asked several times on the sidelines, how could Yuan Ya have committed a serious crime, and it would be too cheap for him to spare him so easily.

Zhaoyang smiled, and took the Taifu as a target and said: "You mean, could it be that you want the Taifu to kneel and die outside the hall, now is the time when there is a shortage of people, although Yuanya has done it before, but this The past 100 years can be regarded as diligent and conscientious, and the merits and demerits are equal. And if he is spared and won the heart of the Taifu, it can be regarded as the last meaningful thing he did for Liu Guo."

What Zhaoyang said was reasonable and well-founded, and others wanted to refute it, but they couldn't find a better reason, so they had to give up.

But Zhaoyang can fool other people, but she can't fool Yingli who grew up with her.

Yingli has known Zhaoyang for so long, she still doesn't know what kind of virtue she is, what kind of pettiness she has in her heart, after she sent others out, she went straight to the point: "You didn't stay Yuanya for the sake of the tutor, right?" If Zhaoyang wants to kill Yuanya, even if the Taifu has knelt outside for hundreds of years, Zhaoyang will not change his mind.Sometimes, Zhaoyang pouted like a cow, and no one could persuade him.According to his understanding of Zhaoyang, she will kill Yuan Ya first, and then appease the Grand Tutor.Since the person is dead, with the passage of time, the Taifu will one day let it go.

Since becoming a fairy, the most indispensable thing is time.

Zhaoyang also knew that she couldn't hide it from Yingli, and Qingshan and the others could still fool her, but as Yingli who had seen the darkest part of her heart, this kind of rhetoric couldn't dismiss him, but she didn't intend to hide it from Yingli either. , and simply escaped completely: "Don't you think it all went too smoothly? Since Liu Qi told me that Zhu Zhang knew that I was the fugitive from the beginning, everything that was pulled out later pointed to Yuan Ya. , but as far as I know about Yuan Ya, he doesn't have the guts to do that, and he won't do that."

"Indeed, I had doubts like this before, but now that Yuan Ya has confessed the crime herself, and said that she did it all by herself, the line is broken."

"But the person who was supposed to take the blame and die is still alive and kicking, you think the person behind Yuanya should also be jumping anxiously." After Yingli finished speaking, Zhaoyang continued.

"Is there anyone who doubts?" Yingli asked.

"Of course there is." Zhaoyang asked back, "What about you?"

Yingli didn't answer, just looked at Zhaoyang with a smile, everything was self-evident.

A few days later, the verdict against Yuan Ya's party came down, and Yuan Ya was dismissed from the position of Chief Sikou and retained her immortal status.The rest of the people are all removed from the immortal status.

As a result, there are many job vacancies.

Zhaoyang summoned Zhongzai, Yingli and others, and after a long discussion, they filled in the vacancies one by one.It's just that the choice of the left general makes Zhaoyang very embarrassed. Lulin is not qualified enough, so he can only take the post of right general temporarily, and there is no outstanding person in the remaining forbidden army who can take on this great job.

At this time, Grand Tutor He Su mentioned a person: "Taihe"

"Taihe?" Zhaoyang shook his head, "Shang Long couldn't hire someone, how could I possibly be able to?"

"My lord, your archery skills are outstanding, and you are the only one who can compete with him. As long as you defeat him, he will definitely come."

"Archery? I've been busy with business now, but I've been neglected for a long time." She hadn't picked up a bow for a long time.

"If you don't try, how will you know?" He Su picked up his tea and took a sip, "Anyway, the Lord doesn't have a suitable candidate in his mind."

The author has something to say:

The ending of this book has been written, but the typo has not been corrected, and it will be posted tomorrow night when it is completed.

It took so long to finish because I didn’t have much motivation. I wrote it for love at the beginning, but I feel that it’s almost worn out now. I’m really sorry.

But fortunately it's finished!Don't let it become a thousand-year giant pit!
