laughing soul

Zhou Yong felt his conscience and thought for a moment. Considering that Chu Yu was as good as a rag doll, he finally decided to give up the heroic plan of traveling in mountains and rivers, and instead followed the pavilion master as a dutiful follower.

As he was on his way, he lamented that he was born at the wrong time. He was originally a casual and unrestrained Jianghu man, but he was reshaped into a new generation of old mother by his own son who was in charge of the world and didn't care about his own life. Zhou Yong stroked his chin and said nothing. With a non-existent beard, I feel that there is an extra brat who lacks discipline and is forced to age for decades.

The qualifications of the two Xueqianli horses were almost the same at first, but in the later period, Chu Yu went down the mountain every day to play around, refresh the physical limit of his mounts when he had nothing to do, which was very different from his way of training horses, which directly led to the fact that he just wanted to "see the dust and catch up" "There are difficulties.

If you can't catch up, then you can't catch up, he thought, let the young couple get bored for a while.

At this time, the deaf Lord Long Live who was lying in the imperial city had no idea that a "chasing" that traveled thousands of miles a day was imminent.

Li Ci was carrying ginseng chicken soup and walking from the imperial dining room to the small bamboo hut, watching from a distance that Qiu Sheng was not sitting in a good chair, and insisted on standing up with his unhealed injury as a mural, which shattered from a long distance away He said, "Oh, Your Majesty, how good is your body? How long have you taken the medicine and you need to exercise again? Your Majesty, please sit down and rest..."

Qiu Sheng, who was temporarily deaf after being bombed by a shell, not only did not feel sorry for herself, but discovered a skill that had never been developed before from this rather strange experience.For example, now, even though his hearing is gradually recovering, he can hear Li Ci's snarls to a certain extent, but he can pretend to be deaf and dumb with peace of mind: "Li Ci? What are you talking about, I can't hear clearly!"

I don't know from which sweet potato field Long Live God's self-proclaimed self-forgiveness came from.

After all, Li Ci was really worried about him, so he hurriedly took a cushion and put it on his back: "The wall is still cold, Your Majesty has injuries, don't catch a cold again."

No matter how brazen he is this time, he can't continue acting, he said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

He pinched the cushion with his hand back and adjusted his posture, took a sip of the ginseng soup, but Liancheng came in from outside: "Your Majesty."

Qiu Sheng put the booklet and spoon together, waved his hands and said, "Get back...Chen Liang?"

Seeing Li Ci walking away shaking his butt, Lian Cheng got up without waiting for Qiu Sheng's consent, and said in a low voice, "Are you feeling better? Those pigs and dogs sent by the northern thieves are really deceiving people too much."

Qiu Sheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, pointed at the pen and paper and said, "I can't hear you at such a volume, let's be a gentleman today, how about talking on the pen?"

Liancheng was dumb, apparently not intending to put the words just now on paper, so he had to avoid the seriousness and ignore the seriousness: "It seems that the body is better, I think there is no serious problem?"

Qiu Sheng smiled and nodded.

Liancheng: "The secret passages of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been investigated, and most of the branch passages that were previously destroyed by the bombing have been dug out. The problem of using explosives is consistent with the Tiancheng incident. The amount of explosives is insufficient and failed to achieve the expected effect. "

Seeing this, Qiu Sheng silently covered her face, it's a pity that you didn't blow me up to death?

Liancheng didn't notice it and continued to write: "There are three effective branch roads. Some of them were not dug through when the secret road was dug, so they are invalid. Among the three, one leads to a small wooden house outside the city. It has not been found yet. Who lives there; one goes around and ends up on the same road as the main road, and lands in Zuihualou; and the other is so strange that it stretches for hundreds of miles and goes straight to Huadu."

It must take a lot of time to dig out such a shocking secret path, Qiu Sheng shook his head slightly, and also had a new understanding of his ancestors—how long has Da Yue's internal corrosion been?

"The old bustard of Zuihualou has been imprisoned, and the whole brothel has been sealed off. The brothers are interrogating urgently day and night." Liancheng wrote here and paused, "Do you still remember what you told me about the other side of Zuihualou? What about the fact that Nan Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was stolen and framed by someone?"

Qiu Sheng was surprised: "Did you find out?"

Lian Chengwei rolled his eyes upwards: "Of course not, how many people come and go in and out of Zuihualou? How can I find out such a pitiful clue? Zhong Han proposed a plan to disguise the Dandou girl. Infiltrating Jin Yiwei and following us around the palace, although it is a trick, it is the only way I can think of at present, you give me an order, so that I can bring him out in a serious manner."

Qiu Sheng frowned: "What is seriousness? Why don't you want to be serious?"

Lian Cheng didn't even think about it, and wrote down solemnly: "Of course it's a prison robbery."

Putting down the brush in Qiu Sheng's hand, she suddenly asked, "Chen Liang, don't you have a crush on him?"

"Why do you..." He just said half a sentence, and suddenly remembered that the deaf man couldn't hear this voice, and there was nothing to cover up, so he simply saved the pen and paper, and shouted at Qiu Sheng's ear. A growl, "She's a good girl, it's a pity to be locked up in the sky prison! I, Jin Yiwei, see a ghost!"

When he tried to cover up the first half of the sentence, Qiu Sheng still wanted to hold back his laughter, but after hearing the second half, his face darkened instantly: "What's wrong with Jin Yiwei?"

It is a fact that life is easy to die in water and fire, but Jin Yiwei is not a monk who is pure-hearted and ascetic, and forces you to marry a caring person?

Unexpectedly, as soon as such an unintentional question came out, the expression of Liancheng, who was blushing and thick-necked from shouting just now, suddenly changed, and the red light on his face dimmed instantly, as if he had been hit in the head by a sap stick, and he was a little unconscious from the pain I don't know.

His hand holding the pen trembled heavily, and after silently calming down for a while, he gripped the pen again and wrote: "How is the army of dead soldiers practicing? Can you compete with Su Wanyue?"

Although the two had parted for a long time earlier, they were young comrades in arms who had fought bloody battles together on the battlefield, and they both had a high level of trust and tacit understanding. When he stopped for no reason, Qiu Sheng followed his slow pace no matter how anxious he was, and continued. Write below: "Fang Jiu takes it with him, there will be no problem. What's the matter with Jin Yiwei?"

He wrote these words one stroke at a time, but there were only a few numbers, but Liancheng looked at it for a long time in a daze, then turned his head and stared at Qiu Sheng blankly, as if he was trying to figure out what the other person was thinking.

Maybe it's what Zhong Han said?He would never intervene and give justice to Jin Yiwei, who has wronged him for a hundred years. To make this matter public is just to humiliate himself.

His silence was too long, even Qiu Sheng, who had been personally trained by Chu Yu, was a little impatient. It was really not his style to release his emotions in a slow flow. On the table, whispered: "Why don't you believe me?"

Liancheng trembled all over his body, and suddenly came to his senses, only to realize that the Gu poison hidden deep in his bones and blood had already ruined his mind to be sensitive and suspicious. He even had suspicions about his brothers who had fought side by side. He stared at Qiu Sheng calmly, and wrote down steadily: "Do you want to know why Su Wanyue is so proud of being favored? Do you want to know why Jin Yiwei has been devoted to loyalty regardless of good and evil for hundreds of years?" He looked up quickly She glanced at Qiu Sheng, closed her eyes on the white paper for a long time, and wrote blindly, "I'll tell you."

The words were so crooked that it was almost unrecognizable, Qiu Sheng moved his eyes from the white paper to the darkening sky outside the door, as if he had returned to the treasury where Hu Tian exposed the late emperor's corruption to him. At the moment of what kind of situation, a heart slowly tightened: "You say, no matter what, I will not take sides."

Liancheng opened his eyes with a chuckle, and his thoughts flashed back to the winter night when he first joined Jinyiwei and took over the commander Xiuchun Dao from his senior a few years ago. Although he was fifty years old, his limbs were already stiff and unable to move. With his hair lingering on and off, he uncovered an extremely ugly and insidious truth for him...

Four generations ago, Dayue was about to go downhill. The emperor drank and had fun, dreamed and dreamed, and suddenly questioned the Fusi of Jinyiwei Town who had been loyal to him for generations.The treacherous sycophant who was full of ups and downs remained unmoved, but instead liquidated his own watchdog, killed a bloody river and was still dissatisfied. The majestic emperor secretly colluded with the head of the Nanjiang Wugu Village, Spend a lot of money to get the heavy head Wujin Gu, and use the daily meals to quietly blend into the flesh and blood of every Jinyiwei. If they leave or rebel, they will not get the pills every three months, and they will die suddenly within a year.

It's not that there have never been newcomers with hard bones trying to resist, but if they don't get the pills, the pain will be unbearable from the Lingtai as soon as the third month arrives, gradually spreading to the whole body, and then attacking the stomach and spleen, severe at first Nausea, foaming at the mouth, heart and lung shock and bleeding, and then the poisonous insects were born, biting the internal organs, and the pain gradually increased to an unimaginable level. During the period, many sufferers could not even endure this first time. It had time to spread all over the body and cut off on its own, the blood flowed all over the ground, full of tiny poisonous insects crawling around, it was horrific.

And all of this, the young man didn't know anything before he first entered the Fusi of Jinyiwei Town. Only when his body has been corroded by Gu poison will he allow the commander to send someone to inform him.

At that time, there was already nowhere to escape, no way to retreat.

And all of this, in the Southern Xinjiang Wugu Village, is just a good business to earn silver, and in the Emperor Dayue, it is a sophisticated calculation that makes him feel more scheming, two sides are happy, and hundreds of thousands of lives are alive. They hooked their fingers inadvertently, and since then they have been associated with the poisonous insects and severe pain. If they do not reach the year of destiny, they will undoubtedly die.

Shen Yan, hidden under the high imperial power, was originally passed down from generation to generation of emperors, who knows that there are many unexpected accidents in this generation. When it came to Qiu Sheng, this ghost knife, which was proud of the royal family in the past, was lost.

When Liancheng first knew who the new emperor was, he was sitting alone at the gate of Zhenfusi. He felt the ups and downs of his life suddenly seemed like a dream, and he burst into tears in a daze.

"Behind Su Wanyue is the Nanjiang Wugu village. They know it well after all, and this matter is not honorable, so they would rather spend most of their money to support a weak navy than offend the Su family and let them Disclose the news of this matter."

At this point, Liancheng paused to reflect on the unbearable past, and the present was as peaceful as ever from the beginning to the end. When he put down the pen lightly, he was startled by the startling noise. Before he knew it, it was night, and the needles fell quietly all around. smell.

He finished writing with a calm mind, but now he became panicked, and almost didn't dare to look at Qiu Sheng's face.

After waiting for a long time without any movement, his heart became more and more uncertain, and when he thought that people's hearts would become hideous once they were beaten on the throne for a few days, he actually thought of the Long Live God beside him as a scourge that grinds his teeth and sucks blood, and is cowering He turned half of his body and wanted to run away, but was patted on the back by Qiu Sheng.

He looked back tremblingly, but saw Qiu Sheng's eyes were scarlet like blood, and a small and exquisite teacup in his hand had faint cracks, as if he had a thousand words to pour out in one gulp, but when he opened his mouth, he felt his throat was on fire , a piece of naked pain.

"You..." He waited for a long time before speaking slowly, "How are you doing now? Will you be there in three months?"

Liancheng didn't expect him to ask this question as soon as he said it, and subconsciously nodded.

Qiu Sheng's pupils shrank instantly: "You..."

Liancheng smiled wryly, and wrote: "Just bear with it... In the past, the emperor was worried and didn't dare to track down the old thief Su Wanyue. Now, you can let go and steal him. If you can, please trouble..."

Qiu Sheng suddenly reached out and grabbed his pen and threw it away: "I will find a way to detoxify, don't worry, I... I will definitely save you..."

He was speechless at the end, and for a while, he didn't know what posture to take to face Liancheng, so he hugged his head fiercely like an ostrich: "You, my ancestors, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Jin Yiwei... bastard... Fucking bastard..."

Seriously injured, his energy and spirit were shaken, and suddenly a mouthful of blood gushed out. Qiu Sheng felt that he was not qualified to spit out this blood in front of Liancheng, so he swallowed it forcefully, and said in a hoarse voice: " You... go back..."

Lian Cheng was also so dazed that he didn't notice Qiu Sheng's mouthful of blood coming and going, bent down and made a bow before stumbling away.

The room fell silent for a while, and Qiu Sheng suddenly felt that what the family had suppressed was not only the weighty dragon robe, but also dense blood and family feuds added out of thin air. Obviously he is the most ignorant person, today But they all had to be borne one by one, a surge of grief and anger suddenly surged in my heart, and a bunch of blood dripped down the corner of my lips uncontrollably.

He didn't care about it, he only knew that until today, the fake face stuck on the pious devil's face was finally torn off by the bloody forest. Even the well-educated elder brother, those faces that have been worn down for several years suddenly turned dizzy and unrecognizable. He didn't know whether they were pretending too delicately, or he had difficulty distinguishing between black and white in the past.

He wiped the corners of his mouth, reached for the teacup with trembling hands, half of his body was unknowingly hanging in the air, almost touching the ground head-on, but was supported by a pair of weak arms.

Looking up, it was Li Ci.

As usual, Li Ci would not enter this bamboo house again after nightfall, Qiu Sheng suppressed the confusion in his heart, stabilized his body and asked, "What?"

Li Ci is a man who knows how to read words and expressions. Seeing that Qiu Sheng was not only in a trance, but also had a bad complexion, he said softly, "Your Majesty, Master Jing Sheng is here, why don't you tell him to wait?"

Qiu Sheng was still half-deaf on this side, only heard a few words intermittently, but didn't dare to take it seriously, and frowned, "Who?"

Li Ci leaned closer and amplified the volume: "Master Jingsheng."

After the great grief and pain, he was rewarded with such ecstasy. After Qiu Sheng gave a wry smile, he thought inexplicably: This person actually walked the right way honestly?

He waved his hand and said, "It's so late, go and rest first, let him come over."

Li Ci: "..." Why do you always feel that there is a catchphrase in these words?

As for Chu Yu, who was frozen into a human stick by the night wind blowing at the door for a long time, the worry and anxiety that boiled all the way and was about to see his deity now gradually calmed down.He drank the northwest wind and shivered slightly, and suddenly thought of a question for no reason.

Why so worried?

Black smoke was still emitting from the fingertips, and he was confused, so he stopped thinking if he couldn't figure it out, and let Li Ci lead him in with small steps.

Facing the wind and frost, the mask he put on was already on the verge of cracking. He lowered his head and raised his hand to protect it. When he raised his head again, he was facing Qiu Sheng's dim eyes against the candlelight in the upper room.

Goodbye is like a lifetime away, between the two hearts far away, unexpectedly harbor the same kind of fondness.

When the serious injury was not healed, even the appetite was affected. Qiu Sheng lost a lot of weight, her cheekbones were almost raised, but her eyes lit up slightly when they looked at each other, and then he gently pulled it away. The blood-colored lips smiled at the person in front of him, revealing two round dimples.

Who would have thought that such a smile would actually add fuel to the flames, Chu Yu's anxiety and anger, which had calmed down a lot, burned up again inexplicably, and the violent and surly temper that had been restrained for a long time could no longer be suppressed at all.He walked up to Qiu Sheng in a few steps, propped his right arm on the small table, stared at him condescendingly with half-closed eyes, and asked through gritted teeth, "Where is all that luxury? Isn't Tiancheng's army here? Huadu Zheng Isn't Nan here? Is it worthwhile for your royal driver to come here personally?"

As soon as he came over quickly, Qiu Sheng intended to give her a hug, but unexpectedly, after these four questions, he still couldn't hear clearly, but fortunately this person was very close to him, He bit his tongue and said the words in a straight voice, staring at the opening and closing lips, and even guessing, he understood seven or eight points.

These words were naturally ambiguous in the ears of the people in Fengyue Field, and Chu Yu was wearing a mask without showing any expression. Qiu Sheng took it for granted that it was a casual joke, and lazily leaned on Chu Yu's arm: "Didn't you find a fortune teller to predict that you will come tonight, and plan ahead, so that you can play a trick and make you feel sorry for me?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were said, Chu Yu became anxious, twisted Qiu Sheng's chin and repeated it to his eyes: "Why do you have to go to the imperial conquest? How many lives do you think you have!"

The distance was too close, Qiu Sheng almost saw Chu He spouting fire, was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to take off the mask.

Chu Yu looked at him coldly with a pale face that was said to be in a funeral procession in legends. The anger that was like a landslide could not be concealed except that it could be released from a pair of eyes without any concealment.

Before he wiped off the black blood on his lips, Qiu Sheng stretched out his finger and wiped it lightly, and blatantly pointed his finger in front of Chu Yu, and then, amidst the overwhelming rage, a trace of barely noticeable panic struggled to squeeze It entered his eyes, and he was about to look away, but Qiu Sheng twisted his jaw in the same way as a man, and couldn't move.

But in an instant, panic and panic swept the entire area into a blaze of anger. After all, Qiu Sheng couldn't bear to see him embarrassed to this point, and let go of his hand with a soft sigh.

"You... since you have already opened your mouth, then I also want to ask you," Qiu Sheng stretched out his hand and grabbed Chu Yu's blood-stained clothes tightly. Seeing that the other party froze all over, he pretended to be expressionless. Turn around and nod.

He looks like a good boy who has been bullied by bullies. Qiu Sheng hates his habit of turning his own human skin into a mask. Who the hell is Qiu Sheng? Why would Mr. Chu, who is about to die, take the trouble to come all the way here? Huh?"

Chu Yu felt his scalp explode, and asked in a trembling voice, "You know?"

One sentence frightened people out of their wits, and now Qiu Sheng didn't have such a strong temper in his heart, so he couldn't help soothing his lower back a few times, and said in a soft voice: "I asked Mr. Liu, and I know that there is something wrong with your body. , As for the other things...you can tell me in person in the future."

Only then did he feel relieved, looked down, and saw Qiu Sheng's rather tired face, and suddenly remembered what he wanted to do on this trip: "Your injury?"

"It's better after taking the medicine for a few days, but my ears are not so good. When you talk, stay closer to me, otherwise I won't even be able to guess." Seeing that his expression was slightly relaxed, Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes. Then the water began to leak, and the arms slid down the back of the waist, "I just can't walk, and I can't go back to the bedroom in the middle of the night."

Seeing the smile on his face, Chu Yu's scalp became numb, and he clasped the flailing hands behind his waist, and asked, "Huh?"

Qiu Sheng raised his eyebrows and gave an evil smile, and began to lose his morals when he opened his mouth: "I'm afraid I can only sleep on the same bed with the little lady, rub my ears together, and fish in troubled waters with my hands... Oh, it hurts!"

Chu Yu endured his teasing with a red face, but he couldn't imagine that this person didn't know the principle of accepting as soon as he saw it, and tried to make it worse, so he had no choice but to take a cake from the table and stuff it in his mouth, three steps and two ran away.

"Where are you going, little lady! Little lady!" With a playful smile, Qiu Sheng's complexion gradually sank, and she slowly shifted her gaze to the stacks of rice paper on the table, squinting her eyes for a long while, and walked lightly. The ground was burned with a candle, and there was no bones left.
