three watch drums

Before Zhuo Yuemen left Beijing, he remembered to tell Su Heng, so the commotion was not big. Xu Ziqing wanted to make any moves, but Su Heng suppressed them one by one. people around.

It's just that Su Heng has felt a chill down his spine these days, wondering if he is covered by dark clouds, and a catastrophe is imminent - flocks of crows are flying to the top of the glazed roof, and the biggest one is by coincidence, standing on top of her. On the window sill of the study room, she poked her head in, her burning eyes pierced through the back of the paper, which made her neither serious nor let it go.

"Are you a goblin?" Su Heng sighed silently, and finally put down the memorial covering most of his face.

The crow did not refute, she has only practiced for 300 years, although she is much older than ordinary people, she is still a baby among the demons who are often hundreds of years old.

It looks like the virgin in the New Year pictures, but it's cute. The night is dark and the wind is high, the lights and candles are flickering, and it looks very intrusive.

When she was still a crow, she had a silver ring on her slender paw, which was neither too big nor too small, and she couldn’t fall off when she held it tightly. After transforming into a human form, her ankle was ten times bigger. Can be carried, the same size, exudes the unique fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in Qingyuan Temple.

"Brother Huang entrusted you to deliver the letter?" Su Heng asked again, the weird girl didn't say a word, just stretched out her hand in a daze, and handed a letter to Su Heng.

This crow man is soft-spoken and just an errand runner. For no reason, he was caught by the master and kept in captivity. He sent some small things back and forth between the two worlds every day. This life-threatening silver bracelet—whoever whistled up and down the Qingyuan Temple, she would return to the same place like a puppet, feeling bitter.

Usually these demons and ghosts cannot enter the inner palace, let alone play tricks in front of Su Heng, but firstly, the treasures of Qingyuan Temple can suppress evil spirits, and the insensitive instruments of the Jiantian Department can't detect it at once, and secondly, this crow can't He can change his shape and scratch people, and if he really conflicts with Su Heng, he doesn't know who is hitting whom.

Su Heng took the letter over. No matter how you look at it, the majestic and imposing handwriting does not look like it was written by Su Chan. His brushwork has always been gentler. Without these outstretched forks, it is like a torrent pouring in one go. — It's just that the Taoist priest has been a long time, and the better the talisman is drawn, the more difficult it is to read the character.

"A letter with Jun?" Su Heng was stunned for a moment, and there was a line of small characters signed on the envelope inlaid with gold silk, "Xie Changlin?"

Thinking of Xie Changlin's black face, Su Heng shuddered in his heart.

"The letter written by Xie Changlin was sent from Qingyuan Temple...or is it a letter with the emperor?!" Su Heng, who hadn't been moved before the landslide, suddenly turned pale with shock, "Brother Huang wants to sell me to an old man surnamed Xie ?!"

Although Xie Changlin is not a tender-faced boy, he looks about thirty at most, and he is very handsome. If he is old, he really can't be called old.But Su Heng didn't deal with him once or twice. It can be said that he hated each other, and would collapse when they met. If it weren't for the huge country and the people's livelihood full of pressure on Su Heng, let her do whatever he wanted, the world would have been in chaos. It's over.

Just after reading two lines of the letter, Su Heng burst out again, "Xie Changlin! How dare you miss my brother!"

It was night, and Li Ruhai hurriedly called four young and strong bodyguards with a scroll of imperial decree, and he didn't care about any chariots. This old bone was jolting on the horse for a long time, and then paced back and forth under Shen Yu's guidance. He went directly to the back mountain, tied up Su Chan, an idle prince who lived at the door of his house, but only entered the palace once a year and a half, and brought him into the palace—Shen Yu and Yao Guang were also included in the palace. Don't worry, the latter is hanging on Su Chan's head, and he can't even pick it off.

Yuheng also wanted to follow, but Qingyuan Temple couldn't live without a proper butler, so he reluctantly stayed.

"Eunuch Li, do you know what happened?" Chen Yu urged the horse, and without any effort, he was able to keep pace with the trembling Li Ruhai.

Qingyuan Temple has followed Su Chan, and the relationship with Li Ruhai is considered good. Usually, there are some things like passing orders, even if it is not the old eunuch himself, even if the Qingyuan Temple is poor, it will almost be impossible to get rid of it, no matter how bad it is. There will be a cup of tea that is warm in winter and cool in summer, so the relationship is harmonious and harmonious, and occasionally I will vent a problem in advance when things come to an end.

It's just that I can only worry about this matter today, and I can't do anything about it. Even if Li Ruhai wants to help Su Chan, he doesn't know the whole story-the sudden anger of the emperor.

"Daoist Shen, I'm really sorry." Li Ruhai was out of breath. He got off his horse once in the middle, switched mounts with Chen Yu, and put Su Chan, who was tied up and head down, on Chen Yu's horse. Delicate body and precious "prince.

"This happened so suddenly that even the eunuch on duty at night didn't understand, but the old slave knew in his heart that His Majesty cared about the prince, and going this time would not hurt his muscles and bones. The Daoist should not be impulsive later. .”

"Okay... If things can't be turned around, please ask your father-in-law to mediate." Chen Yu was polite, and took out in his arms. He didn't have any money with him, but there was a "many children and long life" talisman. I scratched it with my fingernail, took it out and handed it to Li Ruhai, "Elder-in-law, I came out in a hurry, and there is nothing good, you take this talisman that will increase your wealth and longevity first."

Li Ruhai quickly took it and held it in his hand, and asked again, "Did the prince draw it himself?"

Chen Yu smiled, "Yes, yes, father-in-law, don't worry, it's working."

Su Chan, who was face down, with his stomach on the saddle and tightly bundled into a bamboo shoot, didn't even have a chance to express his opinion.

After finally entering the palace, Su Chan couldn't even slip away, so Li Ruhai pleaded guilty, and while saying "I have wronged the prince", he untied him, wiped his clothes to be submissive, and his loose hair After re-tying it, it is even more human-looking than before.

"You guys wait outside." Su Chan rolled up his sleeves, and didn't care about Li Ruhai's offense in a hurry, "After all, it's not a big deal. If it's really urgent, my Qingyuan Temple is outside the imperial city, and I can send troops at any time." There is no need to waste this setback."

He was quite open about it.

"Besides, I have offended Ah Heng a lot, and she can't care about it."

"..." Is this open-minded or shameless?

The lights in the study room were kept on all night, and Su Heng was used to it. When someone came in without knocking, she was not surprised at all.

Xie Changlin's ink stains stained with gold powder glowed fluorescently under the shallow candlelight. They had been torn to pieces and scattered all over the floor. She didn't know how many hairs the poor little crow had lost. The whole study looked like a bird. Wo, I'm afraid I'm going to find a place to cry.

"Who made you angry again?" Su Chan turned around and closed the door.

The sky had just turned pale, and the sun hadn't penetrated through the layers of palace walls, and there was a glimmer of light in the room propped up by dying candles.

Su Chan first sighed in his heart, "The monster is really rich..." Then he thought, "Whoever sent this letter into the palace, now the two Lords of Hell will be offended!"

"Xie Changlin, what does this mean?!" Su Heng, who had endured for most of the night, burst into a roar, "Why miss you and never forget, why have you admired him for a long time...he has only seen you a few times, isn't this kind of disgusting?! "

Su Chan lifted his robe and squatted halfway on the ground, picking up the scraps of paper and bird feathers one by one, "Monsters are naturally sweet talkers, I don't care about it, why should you?"

"Bah..." Su Heng wished he could slap the paper in his face, "What did you care about?"

"Salary." Su Chan was serious, thinking about how many taels of gold powder could be found in the ink. With his temperament, even a goose made of iron can be ground to rust off a goose after plucking its hair.

"I've treated you badly, why don't you eat and drink less?" Su Heng's anger hit Su Chan's cotton needle, and there was nothing left in an instant like a flood, leaving only a little sequelae-headache, "even if he said it on his mouth The salary will be deducted, and at the end of the year it will be an excuse to give you all the gifts, and Mrs. Xu just wanted to have fun for a while, not only have you not been missing in these years, I am afraid there are many more?"

Su Heng sighed again, "Although the Great Chu is a country, it is not as powerful as the monsters, but the people outside the Great Chu do not have a living, and the countries are opposed to each other, but I am the only one standing in a tripod... so this is a safe and fertile land Next, there is always some strength to fight. You are my imperial brother, if even you and I are unable to protect you, what is the world like?"

"..." These words sound quite familiar. It seems that his father said the same thing when he defended the eldest princess.

"Sure enough, they were all taught by Master Xu," Su Chan said with a smile, "Is there a fixed set of rhetoric?"

He saw that Su Heng's anger had almost subsided, so he continued, "Back then, when my aunt brought the wooden warehouse into battle, the Quartet was frightened by the news, and she didn't dare to mention the marriage again——Aunt, as the eldest princess of a country, You still have such courage to be pampered and pampered, your imperial brother left the palace at the age of eight and returned to the court at seventeen, what do you need to worry about?"

"..." If Xie Changlin mentioned marriage, Su Heng would not be nervous.

Soldiers come to block the water and cover the soil. Over the years, Da Chu has cultivated so many magicians and amazing people. It is better than scattered demons to toss about. I am afraid that Xie Changlin's stalking offensive seems to be remembered by thieves. It is inevitable that something will go wrong.

"Brother Huang... If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be living outside," she sighed softly, and said, "You should live in the palace for the sake of safety."

Su Heng has a group of officials under his command, and sometimes he has to exaggerate trivial things, but so far she is still alive and well, which shows that she has a good temper.But Su Hengzhen became domineering, which is also a common problem of emperors. He is arrogant and unreasonable, "I have asked people to clean up the house. If you refuse, I will send a large army to garrison Qingyuan Temple to ensure that not even a fly can fly up."

"Teacher, how do you explain it?" Su Chan didn't care about her arrogance and ambition and the sudden competitiveness, and said to the point, "Taoist priests are used to being alone, and when there is trouble, we Qingyuan Guan will stand by and watch."
