Chen Shi

Seeing the city wall in sight, Zhang Quan took a deep breath, with an infinite desire to survive in his chest, danced the steel knife in his hand so that it did not leak, and rushed to the gate of the city in one go.At this time, the gate was blocked by an unknown silver-white silk screen, which was invulnerable to swords and guns.

Zhang Quan chopped off the enemy close to him with his backhand, wiped away the hot blood that was sprayed on his face with his left hand, and shouted: "Set it on fire!"

Immediately, someone lit a torch and threw it over.

The fire touched the net, spread rapidly, and made a hissing sound. The crystal clear silver net was burned black and hard, like iron wire, tougher than the original one, firmly stuck to the gate of the city, and could not be shaken. half point.

"General, what should we do?" The cronies panicked and hurriedly gathered around Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan said: "Go up the ladder!"

A group of people killed the city wall again.The soldiers outside hurriedly set up the ladder and watched them helplessly from below.Zhang Quan grabbed a ladder first, and was about to go down with the support of his cronies, when he saw a black token shot towards him quickly and exploded above his head. The confidant couldn't grab it in time, and fell from the top of the city.

Zhang Quan, who was holding the ladder tightly, also lost his soul. The moment the ladder fell, he would be crushed to pieces.

The soldiers below had lined up into the human wall, ready to pick him up with their hands.

The situation was so critical that it was impossible to think about it, Zhang Quan shouted and jumped onto the wall.The moment he jumped, seven or eight ghostly hands stretched out from the ground, grabbed his feet, and yanked them to the ground.

Hearing only a "bang", Zhang Quan fell from the gap in the human wall, and his brain burst.

On the city wall not far away, Cui Yan stood quietly in the chaotic shadow of swords, lights and swords, watched Zhang Quan's body being carried away by his cronies before turning and leaving.

The main general was killed in battle, and the morale of the army was scattered. Zhang Quan's [-] troops lost [-] in the city. The rest of the troops fled with their respective commanders. Fleeing to the east and north, crossing mountains and seas, lost the news.

Among the captives escorted back to Beijing was an old acquaintance of Cui Yan and Chen Zhi, who was rushed to the palace for trial after reporting to the police.

The prisoner didn't know that he had caused a catastrophe, and he happily thought that he had escaped from birth and was about to return to eat and die. Occasionally, the happy days of alchemy were sent in with all kinds of flowers, and only later did he realize that things might develop It is different from what I imagined.

"Your Majesty, long time no see." Jiang Yi moved his body uncomfortably, looked at Chen Zhi with a cold face, his eyes rolled around, "Why don't you see the Celestial Master?"

It's okay if you don't mention Cui Yan, but when Cui Yan is mentioned, Chen Zhi's heart rises furiously: "Didn't you be asked to search for the elixir and immortal grass, and found it in Zhang Quan's army camp?"

Jiang Yi cried with a mournful face: "You can't blame me. Not long after I left the capital, I encountered bandits and was separated from the black armor soldiers who protected me. I finally escaped and was trapped by a group of refugees. I followed the refugees to Taiyuan. When I arrived at the vanguard of the Southwest King, I was forced to enlist."

……

Ordinary people wouldn't be so unlucky, would they?Could it be that the bad luck on his body hasn't been sucked away?

Chen Zhi changed the subject: "Then why did you fall into Zhang Quan's hands?"

"Didn't the Southwest King die inexplicably?" After a pause, Jiang Yi muttered, "I don't know if I was involved."

Chen Zhi: "..." The Southwest King's death was so strange, after thinking about it carefully, he thought it was very possible.

Jiang Yi said: "After he died, Zhang Quan came to surrender, and our centurion defected to him. I couldn't run away even if I wanted to. I thought that if I was closer to the capital, I might be saved, so I followed him. gone."

Chen Zhi asked, "Did you give Zhang Quan the medicine powder in his hand?"

Jiang Yi sighed: "Whatever you give, they are all taken away. I can't help it. With so many pills on my body, who doesn't think it's suspicious? I can only say that I am a wandering doctor, and I was arranged to treat some injuries. Injury. Later, Zhang Quan's cronies asked me to label each medicine clearly, and those poisonous medicines were taken away."

Chen Zhi said, "Is there any cure for those medicines?"

"Some have, some don't." Jiang Yi reacted, and said cautiously, "The Celestial Master has been recruited again?"

Chen Zhi sneered, "You also know it's 'again'."

Jiang Yi was sweating nervously.

He couldn't be more clear about Cui Yan's temper.What happened to Cui Jiao last time, although Cui Yan let him go, she must have made a note in her stomach.Now, the old debts are not cleared, and new debts have been added, and I also know that I will not pass the test so easily this time.

Chen Zhi took him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Without Cui Jiao, this place would be empty, and Chen Zhi had someone clean it up again, making it a place for Cui Yan to recuperate.

After the "Zhang Quan Rebellion" was put down, the demon pill in Cui Yan's body hibernated for two days, and then began to crazily fight back.None of the medicines left by Jiang Yi worked, Chen Zhi saw that he was in cold sweats from the pain every day, and he was so anxious that he wanted to go to heaven and earth to find a way, but Jiang Yi bumped back at this moment.

After Jiang Yi heard the ins and outs, his face turned pale: "Why don't your majesty give him another breath of dragon breath?"

Chen Zhidao: "I've been wondering whether it was because I let out the dragon's breath that it made him worse."

"Very likely." Jiang Yi wished for someone to share the guilt.

The two walked to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but were stopped by the black armored soldiers.

Chen Zhi frowned and said, "Where's the Heavenly Master?"

The black armored soldier said sternly: "The Celestial Master sits at the gate, and ordered not to be disturbed by anyone."

Knowing Cui Yan for so long, Chen Zhi was classified as "anyone" for the first time, and he couldn't recover for a while.

Jiang Yi yelled at the side: "Did something happen to the Celestial Master?"

Chen Zhi covered his mouth with his hands and asked, "How long will the Celestial Master be imprisoned?"

The black armored soldier said, "I don't know."

"Oh, okay." Chen Zhi threw Jiang Yi to the guard of the black armored soldiers, and returned to the Qianqing Palace obediently. When the gate was closed, he immediately pasted the invisibility talisman, quietly walked back to the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and used the fixed body Shu stopped the two black armored soldiers at the door, pushed the door——

The door remained motionless.

Chen Zhi wanted to kick him, but he was afraid that the noise would disturb Cui Yan's sitting, so he drew out the black armored soldier's knife and carefully lifted the latch.

The latch fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Zhi continued to push the door——

The door remained motionless.

……

Chen Zhi walked around the Hall of Mental Cultivation, tested all the windows, but still - remained motionless.

In desperation, he had no choice but to undo the black armor soldier's immobilization technique, and quietly returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Cui Yan acted so mysteriously, she didn't look like she was sitting in prison at all, but like a thief.

Chen Zhi scratched his head and wanted to know what he was doing inside, for fear that the plot that had finally come to an end would change again in an invisible place.He took out the treasures in the Qiankun bag and placed them one by one on the bed to see if there was anything that would be of interest.

Invisibility Talisman, Worry Bead, Huang Gui, a Qiankun bag filled with bad luck... and a stand-in with a missing head.

Looking at the belongings, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

It was so shabby!

Chen Zhi found Jiang Yi who was locked in the firewood room.

Jiang Yi said tremblingly: "Generally, the place is small, so it's fine if you like to lock people in the firewood room. In such a big palace, it's too petty to lock people in the kitchen all the time?"

Chen Zhi said: "How about being locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Maybe you can meet your centurion."

Jiang Yi blew his nose: "When will you let me out? Don't forget, who took you in when you were having trouble with the Celestial Master to make you happy."

Chen Zhidao: "...Our memories of those days may be biased."

"Don't let go of a word!"

"put."

……

Jiang Yi, who was released, has been thinking about how to go back.

Chen Zhi pulled him forward: "Concentrate on walking, don't look around!"

Jiang Yi said, "I want to go back to the woodshed."

Chen Zhi reassured him: "Let's take a look quietly, so we won't disturb him."

"I can't trust you."

"Stop making noise and go to jail!"

"...You emperor who is about to abdicate! Don't be too arrogant!"

"If something happens to Cui Yan, I won't be able to step down. If I can't step down, you will go to jail. Hurry up if you don't."

Jiang Yi held his breath on his forehead, his thoughts were disturbed, and he came back to his senses when he got close to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said: "The heavenly master is not dead, and I may not have good fruit to eat!"

Chen Zhi said: "There is no way to survive on the left or right, so I just walked all the way to the dark and continued to die."

Jiang Yi: "..."

Jiang Yi, who was taken away by Chen Zhi's words, finally gave up the struggle, squatted in the grass with broken pots, and discussed with Chen Zhi.

"The doors and windows are locked, so you can't get in at all?" After Jiang Yi asked about the situation, he thought for a while, "Have you ever thought about going through the roof?"

Chen Zhi clapped his hands: "Good idea!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Yi's reaction, he ran to a corner where there was no one in small steps, put an invisibility amulet on it, flew up to the roof, skimmed over many eaves, came to the top of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and squatted down.

No one is looking around, it's a good time to do bad things.

He slowly lifted a tile.

"Pfft", a small burst of air sounded from inside the house, Chen Zhi was caught off guard, was blown upright, his whole body bounced back and flew out, rolled down from the eaves, and fell to the ground.

"Who?" The black armored soldier guarding the door heard the movement and rushed forward, sweeping the spear in his hand where he landed, almost poking him.

Chen Zhi quickly rolled backwards twice, and was about to stand up while holding the door panel, when the door was pulled open from inside, he lost his center of gravity, fell in, and hit a person's foot.

Although she couldn't see it, Cui Yan clearly felt that someone was hugging her thigh: "Idiot?"

Chen Zhi stood up in embarrassment, and took off the invisibility talisman: "What a coincidence... I just wanted to try to see if I would be discovered playing hide-and-seek like this."

Cui Yan straightened his hair and clothes, held hands and walked in: "Worried about me?"

Now that he said that, Chen Zhi admitted it openly: "It's really worrying for you to retreat alone without saying anything!"

Cui Yan smiled: "I'm fine now."

Chen Zhi said, "What's going on?"

Cui Yan said: "I have always wanted to create a set of exercises to integrate the Yaodan, but just now I suddenly had a feeling, so I retreated hastily."

Chen Zhi frowned: "Do you still want to continue to integrate the demon core?"

Cui Yan paused for a moment before saying, "What do you think?"

Chen Zhi thought about it and said: "I think the serious troubles of the Southwest King and Zhang Quan's confidantes have been eliminated, there is no need to integrate the Yao Pill again. The Yao Pill is always a hidden danger in the stomach, it is more reassuring to take it out. "Also, he has another worry.It is whether Cui Yan will live forever after merging with the demon pill and greatly increasing her mana.Immortality is nothing for ordinary monks, since they are hidden in the deep mountains and people don’t know about it, but an emperor is immortal, I am afraid it will cause turmoil in the country.

"Take out the demon pill, and I will be no different from ordinary people, even weaker than ordinary people..." Cui Yan gave him a deep look, "Will you stay by your side to protect me?"

Chen Zhi agreed without saying a word, patting his chest.

This statement is not entirely false.Help people to the end, send Buddha to the West.After becoming a fairy, a hundred years is but a blink of an eye, so it's okay to ask him to stay, anyway, it doesn't matter where he lives, eats, drinks, and sleeps.

Cui Yan smiled and said, "I will think about it carefully."

Chen Zhi said, "You've been thinking about it not happening again and again in the past few days, right?"

Cui Yan said, "Probably not."

Chen Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Cui Yan looking at him with a smile, his eyes were full of tenderness, and suddenly his heart shuddered, and he began to doubt whether his action of agreeing to stay was right or wrong.

Cui Yan had been in seclusion for a long time because of the Yaodan matter, and there were a lot of urgent affairs that needed to be dealt with in the court. After speaking with Chen Zhi, she hurried to the Yizheng Hall.

Chen Zhi turned around to look for Jiang Yi, and found that he was no longer in the grass. He called in the black armored soldiers to slap him around, only to find out that he was discovered, thought he had escaped from the prison, and was sent directly to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

The black armored soldier said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we are in shackles, and we will definitely watch people."

"..." Chen Zhi said, "Thank you for your hard work."

When Cui Yan came out of the Yizheng Hall in the middle of the night, Chen Zhi hurriedly told him about Jiang Yi.

Cui Yan's expression was a little subtle, she didn't look angry, but looked forward to it: "Oh? Did he find something?"

Chen Zhi said: "As soon as he left the capital, he encountered bandits, let alone looking for things, all his things were searched and taken away by Zhang Quan."

Cui Yan nodded and said: "In that case, let him go out and continue searching."

……

Is this equivalent to exile?

Chen Zhi said, "Don't you want to see him again?"

Cui Yan didn't take this matter to heart at first, but after hearing how nervous he was, she became serious: "Are you reluctant to never see him again?"

Chen Zhi said: "I just think...it's too unsafe to let him go out." He gave medicine to Cui Jiao for a while, and Zhang Quan for a while. .

Cui Yan shrugged indifferently: "Then kill it."

Chen Zhi said: "Talents are hard to come by. At least he can make alchemy..."

"What exactly do you want?" Cui Yan asked helplessly.

Chen Zhi said: "I was thinking, when you take the demon pill, you should always keep a few people around to help. Jiang Yi knows a lot, so it's always beneficial to stay."

Cui Yan looked at him, smiled and said: "It's still a fool who is thoughtful."

After Jiang Yi was released, he was given a formal official position - Deputy Superintendent of Qin Tianjian, and was "En Zhun" to live outside.In other words, after being kicked out, they can no longer enjoy the treatment of including food and housing.

He knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to argue, so he obediently asked Chen Zhi to borrow some money from Yinshan Gong, and rented a house to live in.

On the first day of moving in, Chen Zhi specially ran to celebrate his housewarming.

Jiang Yi drank and ate peanuts with him, and talked about life.After eating until midnight, Chen Zhi didn't bother to move, and was ready to squeeze with Jiang Yi.The quilt was lifted, and Cui Yan suddenly came to kill with the black armored soldiers.

That murderous posture is like a squad of catching traitors with green clouds overhead.

Jiang Yi drank a little, shook his head and said: "No, no, the heavenly master can't come! The three of you... can't sleep well."

Cui Yan asked Chen Zhi with a smile: "Do you want to sleep with him?"

Chen Zhi said: "At first, I thought there was nothing wrong with us sleeping together, but when you asked me in such a tone, I thought it was a problem."

"Of course it's a problem." Seeing his frank answer, Cui Yan didn't pursue it too much. She asked someone to settle Jiang Yi, and then she dragged Chen Zhi out, "I asked Jiang Yi to move out because I thought it was an eyesore. Gong is stuck with him."

Chen Zhi felt that it was not a problem for their vague and ambiguous relationship to continue. He wondered if he would take advantage of the dark moon and the bleak atmosphere to speak clearly, and meet Cui Yan's gentle words as soon as he raised his head. eyes.Obviously, the lights were dark, but he forced his eyes to see the atmosphere of the past and the moon, and all of a sudden vented his courage to talk.

After that, Chen Zhi intentionally or unintentionally tried to avoid Cui Yan.

It's nothing more than a day or two, if they don't see each other in three to five days, Cui Yan will personally arrest him.After a long time, he simply punctured the window paper: "I take the game of chasing after me as fun. It's just that this game is just for fun, so don't take it seriously." Although he didn't do anything to Chen Zhi, But those families who "accommodate" him have been tortured by Cui Yan these days.

Yin Shangong and the others didn't say anything, but Chen Zhi saw it, and he was too embarrassed to hurt him again.

Fortunately, the Zen position and enthronement ceremony are coming soon, and all personal love and hatred are put aside for the time being.

That day, the wind was sunny and the sky was clear.

Chen Zhi wore the dragon robe that Cui Yan found in the pawnshop, and sat solemnly on the dragon chair, announcing his decision to give Cui Yan his Zen seat.

The ministers who had known the ending calmly accepted this decree, and then Cui Yan ascended the throne and changed the country's name to "Yan".

This was agreed before taking the throne.According to tradition, the name of the country should be called "Cui", but Cui Guo, Cui Guo, sounds a bit sad and unlucky, so Cui Yan proposed to use "Yan", which has the same pronunciation as his name.

Since it is not called the "Chen" Dynasty, there is no difference between Cui Guo and Yan Guo, and the officials have no objection.

After changing the name of the country, it is the exciting link of meritorious deeds and rewards.

Although Cui Yan revealed part of her thoughts to her cronies and former officials of the Chen Dynasty who planned to reuse her in advance, the result depends on the final reading.Therefore, when the imperial decree unfolded, the people below all pricked up their ears.

"Secret Chen Zhi, the former lord of the Chen Dynasty, as King Chenliu, and keep the palace..."

"The former Yinshan Gong of the Chen Dynasty was named the Yin Shangong of the Yan Dynasty, and the ancestral house was given back..."

"..."

Those who heard the name were very happy, while those who did not hear the name were ashamed, as if they would try to release the list, some were happy and some were worried.

After the ceremony, Chen Zhi changed out of his dragon robe and put on new clothes made in a hurry. He was in a very happy mood, and even when he attended the dinner party, he was full of smiles, which hurt the eyes of many frustrated people in the officialdom.

When the wine was hot, some people began to lose control of their words.

At first, he was secretive, but later he couldn't control his mouth, and satirized nakedly: "In the past, Lord Longyang was famous for his swordsmanship, lobbied all over the world, and assisted the king of Wei. Now, our King Chenliu relies on flattery to rejuvenate the country. Anbang...is really not what it used to be."

"It is said that Lord Longyang is so handsome that he eclipses countless beauties. Our majesty... oh, it should be King Chen Liu. What is he relying on? Could it be a unique intercourse technique?"

A series of tacit vicious laughter came from the corner of the banquet.

Hearing this, Monkey Yin was furious, and was about to stop drinking when Father Nian grabbed him.Father Nian motioned him to look at the other side - Cui Yan and Chen Zhi were standing under the shade of a tree and eavesdropping. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have noticed that there were two people standing there.

Yin Monkey secretly scolded him for his sneaky eyes.

Compared with Cui Yan, who was pale-faced, Chen Zhi acted very calmly: "They don't know, but actually my immobilization technique is also very powerful."

Cui Yan, who was originally angry, suddenly showed a strange face: "'Also'?"

"Ok?"

"You used 'also'."

"What's wrong with 'also'?" Chen Zhi looked puzzled.

Cui Yan said: "It means that you admit that your intercourse skills are very good."

Chen Zhi coughed dryly and said, "Well, I'm not proud..."

"Who did you try it with?"

Chen Zhi, who was about to brag about it, felt that this direction was not right: "...huh?"

Cui Yan stared into his eyes, not allowing the slightest evasion: "Who can prove that you are good at intercourse?"

Chen Zhi said: "The talent is extraordinary, but it is unknown."

Seeing that he was quite sincere, Cui Yan's tone became relaxed: "But, according to the information I 'handle', it seems to be different from your self-perception."

If it's a man, he won't admit it!

……

But he is a god.

A long series of plots flashed through Chen Zhi's mind, "He was not convinced, Cui Yan immediately hit the snake and went to the ground with a stick to ask for an on-site survey", and wisely chose not to confront: "One day, history will prove my might."

Cui Yan smiled and said, "Why do we need history, we are now..."

"Ah, my stomach hurts."

Chen Zhi turned his head to run, but was grabbed by Cui Yan and held him in his arms: "Ah Chi, there is still a place above King Chen Liu."

Chen Zhi licked his dry lips, and said in a low voice, "I gave up that position just now..."

Cui Yan smiled and said, "There is another place next to that position."

Chen Zhi said: "As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female. If there are two males, then it is the father-in-law, no good, no good."

Cui Yan: "..."

The good atmosphere ends here.
