Our lord is upright [crossing]

After coming out of the prison, they came out with two fake faces, and changed their clothes back just before the effects of the drug had worn off. The two lieutenants thought they just dozed off, kicked their men awake and continued on. Patrol the ground, and no one found out that they were swapped just now.

"Why didn't you take him out?" Yanruan waited until the two of them were completely safe, and then asked the doubts in her heart: "Didn't we come to rescue him? If he was not rescued, could it be that our trip was in vain?" ?”

Rong Zhenzhen pulled him to sit on the roof together, took out a jug of wine from his waist, and found two small wine glasses out of nowhere, poured a glass for himself and him, and drank together in the open air.

Yan Ruan was puzzled, but now he also knew that Rong Zhenzhen's thoughts were more profound than his own, and he no longer hated him as much as before, so he simply didn't ask anything, and drank with him.

"That's how we are. It's good to sit side by side and talk to Yue Dangkong, but I don't know if there will be more opportunities like this in the future." Rong Zhenzhen felt warm all over after drinking three glasses of soju, and opened his mouth lazily. "Didn't you just ask why I didn't bring him out?"

"He Jingwei's tricks are shady. How could a person like him be thrown into prison to die without any resistance? He also has his own power in his hand, and some of his own people in the court support him. There are not many people, but if we fight to the death, it is still unknown who will get the throne."

Yan Ruan played with the wine glass in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then he did not resist on purpose, in order to make your emperor of the Central Plains relax his vigilance, thinking that everything is under control."

"What deal did you make with him?"

Rong Zhenzhen looked up at the full moon in the sky, and then remembered that today is the No. 15 of every month. When the moon is the roundest, he looked at it quietly for a while, and then said: "I will help him , after ascending the throne next year, he decreed to protect our Central Plains Wulin for a hundred years of peace."

Yan Ruan frowned, "What conditions did you agree to?"

"Kill someone." Rong Zhenzhen raised his wine glass with a smile and took a sip, "Why don't you come and guess?"

Does Yanruan need to guess?

"The old emperor is surrounded by experts, and the palace is heavily guarded. How can you go in safely by yourself?"

"It's not a good deal."

Rong Zhenzhen smiled lowly, "If it's not worth it, we have to bite the bullet. We have nowhere to go. It's really dangerous to cooperate with someone like He Jingwei. There is no emperor who has always been successful. Even if I can help him ascend the throne, if he turns his back on what he says and wants to kill us later, I have nothing to do."

"We have no other choice, let's take a gamble."

Yan Ruan looked at him for a long time, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to bear such a heavy responsibility, are those people in the Central Plains Wulin worth it?"

"What about you? You thought about it before and tried your best, even at the cost of your life, to kill my uncle to avenge your father and the dead congregation. Is it worth it?" Rong Zhenzhen restrained the frivolous smile on his face, and his eyes were deep. , "Since we are in such a position, we must shoulder this responsibility, otherwise why should we practice martial arts?"

Yan Ruan snorted softly, "Anyway, since you provoked me, I can't let you go. If you want to risk the assassination, I will go with you."

"I'm so touched, Ah Ruan." Rong Zhen pretended to wipe away tears, "When will you turn 20? Shall we go to a room?"

The originally nice and warm atmosphere was forcibly destroyed by Rong Zhenzhen, and Yan Ruan didn't bother with him, he was used to Rong Zhenzhen's behavior, and slowly discovered that under his flamboyant and playful appearance, A strong and tender heart.

The next day, Rong Zhenzhen called everyone into the courtyard for a meeting, and briefly explained the plan that he made when he met He Jingwei yesterday.

"Leader, when will we act?" Ling You clenched the long sword in his hand, "Since Mr. He...I mean the prince, he has left a lot of people in Beijing, can we get in touch with them?"

Rong Zhenzhen shook his head and said: "There is no rush, there are still ten days before He Jingwei's execution, we still have time. I am going to retreat for a few days, to see if I can break through the ninth floor at the last moment."

"It's hard, isn't it?" Rong Mengmeng pinched her fingers and calculated, "Brother, you have been on the eighth floor for several years, and it may not be easy to complete the advancement within a few days, so please don't act recklessly. .”

Chu Hanruo remained silent all this time, he leaned against the pillars of the flower corridor with his chest folded in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, Lu Guanyun looked around, and opened his mouth and said: "If you want to enter the palace, it is necessary to disguise yourself. Hong said he could help me do it together."

"Then thank you Xiaoyun." Rong Zhenzhen nodded, "He Jingwei said that he has someone to take care of him in the palace, and someone will meet me at the teahouse in a few days and give me a token to enter the palace. At least it won't be a big problem to sneak into the vicinity of the old emperor's bedroom."

"Can I help?" Shang Huai propped his chin and listened for a while, "Although I don't know martial arts, I want to help a little."

Rong Zhenzhen nodded slightly, "After I kill the old emperor, the situation will naturally be handed over to He Jingwei, and he will control the field from now on. Then there will be chaos in the city. When you think of ways to make the scene even more chaotic, it’s best if a horse’s hoof can’t be inserted into the street, cutting off the possibility of the Fifth Prince coming to rescue.”

"The fifth prince is still cleaning up the mess at the border, and he can only come back at the end of the year. He Jingwei must hurry up to take advantage of this time. As long as the old emperor dies, he will be the first to ascend the throne. Even if the fifth prince rushes back, it will be unfair. It’s just a matter of killing them as traitors.”

Shang Huai said with a smile: "This matter is nothing to me, so you can rest assured that when that day comes, I guarantee that the streets will be full of all kinds of people, and not even a rabbit can come in."

"The brothers of Xuanyue Sect are also involved in this operation. If we can escape this time, I will rectify the name of Xuanyue Sect in the Central Plains." Rong Zhen said seriously, "The two factions have been fighting for more than a hundred years. , and it is time to make peace.”

Yan Ruan was disdainful on the face, but she was still a little moved in her heart, "I didn't say that I would join you, but you still owe us some lives in the righteous way, and we will settle it at that time."

After the meeting, Rong Zhenzhen told them what to do, and in a blink of an eye, seeing Chu Hanruo was still in a daze, he went over and kicked him lightly with some dissatisfaction: "What the hell are you doing here? They are all brainstorming ideas, and you are the only one who is distracted!"

Chu Hanruo turned his head, and it took a long time for his eyes to focus on Rong Zhenzhen. Obviously, he didn't know where his mind wandered, "Really? I'm going to set up a stall this afternoon, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Look at your size." Rong Zhenzhen rolled his eyes to the sky, "Are you really here to beg for food? Beijing is not peaceful now, what kind of stall are you going to set up? What if someone gets caught?"

Chu Hanruo blinked, and said expressionlessly: "Don't worry." He got up and patted Rong Zhenzhen on the shoulder, "If you are retreating, it's better to stay with Yanruan, he may be able to help you. "

Rong Zhenzhen looked at Chu Hanruo coming and going inexplicably, becoming more and more unaware of what was going on in this guy's mind.

Before retreating, Yanruan proposed to go shopping in the street, "This is my first time in the capital, to see if there is any special place, you go with me."

The tone of this order is really uncomfortable, but Rong Zhenzhen likes it very much, happily took the package and went out, "OK, OK, you can say anything, I will pay you!"

The capital is a capital after all. Even if the world is not so good, the capital is still prosperous. The tense situation has not stopped this royal city from singing and dancing as usual. The streets in the city are wide enough for six carriages to run side by side at the same time. Both sides of the road are neatly arranged. Shops with a wide variety of goods, even though these two days are not a festival, there are still many pedestrians on the street, and people come and go, Yan Ruan and Rong Zhenzhen walk on such a street, just like ordinary people Faint in the middle, not eye-catching.

"It's so lively here." Rong Zhenzhen held Yanruan's hand and walked on the street openly, and couldn't help sighing: "I used to think that Wancheng was prosperous enough, but I didn't expect the capital city to be even more prosperous. In comparison, our Wancheng is like a town."

"Hmph, so what?" Yan Ruan snorted disdainfully, "If a country only prospers in one or two places, it's not far from being destroyed."

Rong Zhenzhen thought of the displaced refugees he saw along the way, and his heart inevitably became a little heavy, "Yes, the people living here, even civilians, are a thousand times happier than those refugees outside. I'm afraid they can't imagine Come out, how miserable are the people outside."

"Hopefully we can do our part in these troubled times so that this peace can last for a few more years."

Yan Ruan didn't speak anymore, his eyes were attracted by a small stall on the side of the road, it was a small shop for a grandpa and grandson, the old man held up a big wooden spoon full of syrup, flowing out from top to bottom like The syrup as thin as a silk thread swims a little bit on the board, and slowly becomes many lifelike animals, especially the best painting of the Youlong, even the eyes seem to be really alive.

"Would you like to take a look?" Rong Zhenzhen looked at Yanruan tenderly, "You grew up in the Western Regions, you may have never seen this kind of sugar painting, do you want to buy one for you?"

"Who cares." Yanruan said so, but her eyes kept wandering around the sugar painting.

Why didn't Rong Zhenzhen understand what he was thinking, and took the initiative to take his hand and walked to the booth, took out a few copper coins from his arms and handed them to the little boy next to the old man, "Old man, can you make us a pair too? "

The old man looked up at the two of them, and asked with a smile: "What style do you two young masters want?"

Rong Zhenzhen pointed to himself and Yan Ruan with a smile: "Just make a couple like the two of us, do you think so?"

"Success!" The old man is skilled in craftsmanship and can do everything. After taking over the job, he lowered his head and started painting again with a wooden spoon.

Yan Ruan couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, she couldn't help but look engrossed, Rong Zhenzhen brushed the scattered hair behind his ears for him from time to time, the tenderness and pampering in her eyes almost dripped out.

The little boy next to him said enviously, "Big brother, your wife is so pretty."

Yan Ruan glared at him, "You kid has really bad eyesight, it's clear that he is my wife."

Rong Zhen could not hold back a chuckle.
