Laughing at Chang'an

No matter how lively the feast was, there was a time when the banquet was over, and Yang Huxing left with a half jar of unfinished Luntai Huang Tayue, leaving a mess behind.The adjutant and Wang Zhen wisely began to tidy up, but Li Shen was rarely drunk, and leaned back on the chair with his head raised and his eyes open in a daze.

He has always been aware of Geng Yan's ambitions. As early as when he was unknown, the other party was already watching the throne at the top of the city from afar.From beginning to end, it hasn't changed.Li Shen didn't want to say some hypocritical words, and he didn't want to put money on his face, but without him, Geng Yan's ideal might not be realized.

He wants to accompany the other party to go on, not just to send Geng Yan to the throne...Ten years is just two words, but how many ten years are there in life?

——The Geng Army has already become an indelible mark in Li Shen's life.

A hand gently caressed his face, Li Shen turned his eyes to see Haitang's peaceful and beautiful face, he held her hand, moved his lips, but he couldn't say anything.

The adjutant raised his eyes to see this scene, pulled Wang Zhen secretly, and led the people away quietly, leaving the place to the couple that others couldn't understand.

Haitang's fingertips lightly brushed over Li Shen's face, sharp brows, high nose bridge, firm and thin lips, and those indifferent and dark pupils.She closed her eyes, and used her fingers to describe Li Shen's face in her heart, silently engraving...

The night wind blows a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, under the moonlight, time seems to stand still.

Li Shen sighed lightly.

He stretched out his hand, picked up Haitang, put it on his lap, and let her snuggle into his arms.Let them all throw away what they can't get rid of, at least this time, and let themselves be weak for a while.

In this life, one cannot escape after all, and fate plays tricks.

………………

Surrounded by clean, reflective metal walls, the head and feet are also surrounded by shiny metal walls. In the metal room, there is a metal chair alone. The whole body of the middle-aged man is fixed on the chair, and his eyelids are also covered with metal needles. Forcibly fixed upward, he stared in fear at the man standing in front of him.

Brilliant golden hair hung down the side of his face, Geng Yan was expressionless, like a silent statue.

"I really don't know anything, I am wronged, Shuai Geng, I am wronged..."

The middle-aged man was trembling uncontrollably, with a cry in his voice. He stared at the executioner standing behind Geng Yan in fear. The box at the other side's feet had been opened, and the contents inside made him feel uncontrollably desperate. .

Geng Yan sighed.

"You have six wives, three daughters and two sons, and an illegitimate son who lives in Weiyang with his old parents. If you don't tell me, they will all die."

The middle-aged man's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately shouted for grievances, Geng Yan shook his head, turned and left.

He walked out of the torture room and saw Lin Guo standing outside the door.

"How's the situation?"

"They're all little pawns, and the people behind the scenes are hiding very deeply." Lin Guo still had a tired face and couldn't open his eyes, with both hands in his pockets, and nodded to Geng Yan, "It's not that I didn't gain anything at all. , at least it can be confirmed that someone is behind them. In addition, there is one more thing... I just got the news that something interesting was found in Yu Feng's relics."

Geng Yan silently narrowed his eyes.

"A letter, hidden inside the cover of the book, signed by Zhu Tang." Lin Guo took out the information paper that recorded the content of the letter from his pocket, unfolded it and handed it to Geng Yan, "Although it seems that it is just an ordinary friend. Greetings, but unfortunately, according to my information, Yu Feng does not have such a friend. So I asked someone to study this letter and the book with the letter in it, and came to the following result. "

Geng Yan's gaze moved to the bottom of the paper, where a simple line was written - Li Shen recovered from his injuries?Quick reply.

This matter is not as interesting as what Lin Guo said. Who is this Zhu Tang, why did Yu Feng write to him, and the contents of this letter... Is Yu Feng an insider?Then who killed him?

——The situation is getting more and more complicated.

"If Yu Feng represents one group of people and another group of people killed him, it means that two groups of people are staring at him. The only valuable thing about Yu Feng is Li Shen's body information, so These two groups of people are not focusing on him, but Li Shen." Lin Guodao, and told Geng Yan his deduction.

"After Yu Feng met Li Shen, he got Li Shen's body information. He probably didn't pass the information to Zhu Tang who wrote the letter at the first time, but fell into conflict and struggle. This can be seen from that night. Judging by his abnormal performance. The news of his meeting with Li Shen was also known by another group of people lurking in the dark. The other party may also have sneaked into his residence that night to extract information about Li Shen. , and kill them to silence them.”

Lin Guo pushed his glasses, looked up at Geng Yan, and said flatly: "At present, we have no way of confirming whether these two groups of people have obtained Li Shen's information, and I also have doubts about this. Why are these people staring at Li Shen? ? Want to get rid of him?"

Geng Yan's face was very ugly, the information paper he held in his hands was silently shattered into countless fine pieces, falling to the ground little by little.

"Go and investigate." He ordered, "Check all the people Yu Feng has been in contact with recently, as well as those who know that he met Li Shen that night. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

Lin Guo nodded, said goodbye, walked two steps, turned his head again, and said to Geng Yan, "I still think that you should ask Li Shen exactly what he said to Yu Feng that night."

Geng Yan frowned, but did not answer.Lin Guo didn't wait for his answer, and turned to leave after nodding his head.

...Zhu Tang.

After returning to the office on the top floor of the guild hall alone, Geng Yan silently recited the name in his heart facing the dark sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.Zhu Tang, Zhu Tang... He stretched out his hand to press the cold window, and his eyes silently ignited a dim flame.

"Ah."

The level of interest in the matter was beyond expectations. The offended king smiled in the dark, and dared to make such a provocation in front of his face. It is simply... so interesting.

There is actually another way to interpret the letter signed by Zhu Tang.The person who wrote the letter is naturally clear, but Geng Yan is also very clear: translate the words on the letter into another language, and then connect the first word in the first paragraph, the second word in the second paragraph, and so on. , you can get another piece of information.

【I'm watching you. 】

The world is indeed full of variables, Geng Yan thought, but because of this, it is not so boring.

He has been missing for a long time, from the heart, and feels happy.

………………

Early the next morning, the adjutant carefully pushed open the door of Li Shen's bedroom with the white porridge he cooked himself.He stood at the door and looked in secretly, fearing that he would accidentally run into Li Shen and Haitang's live erotic palace. After staring at it for a long time, he confirmed that only his master Shen was lying on that bed.

... Even though the atmosphere was so good last night, Mrs. Haitang supported Li Shen back to the house, didn't the two of them do something?

The adjutant was a little disappointed.

"Master." He walked into the room, put the dinner plate on the table, and went to the bedside to wake Li Shen up, "Master, today's schedule is full, you get up and eat something, let's start."

Li Shen's consciousness automatically woke up the moment the adjutant walked into the room, but the headache caused by the hangover made him not even want to open his eyes, let alone answer.He really had a grudge against alcohol in his previous life, and every time he got drunk, he felt as if his head had been hacked several times, and he was in pain and fainted.

Seeing that the adjutant couldn't wake him up, he could only move a chair and sit beside him, thinking about it. The buzzing voice rang in Li Shen's ears, finally forcing him to open his eyes.

He opened his eyes, covered his forehead with his hand, and sat up on the bed under the gratifying gaze of the adjutant after a while.When he lifted the quilt, he found that he was still wearing yesterday's shirt and trousers, and he was wearing a battle armor inside. No wonder he felt uncomfortable all over his body and smelled of alcohol.

Well, it was Haitang who helped him back yesterday...

Li Shen rubbed his face helplessly, walked to the bathroom while taking off his clothes, and told the adjutant to prepare a change of clothes.As the other party said, he still has a lot of work to do today, and there must be an explanation for Yu Feng's death.

It is also necessary to let those guys who are eager to move in the dark know that his knife has not blunted, and after two years, it can still kill people.

"Grandpa, how does it taste?"

Li Shen drank the porridge, frowned and hummed, the adjutant happily claimed that he made the porridge himself, if Li Shen liked it, he would make it every morning.Li Shen really didn't have the energy to talk to him, this white porridge tasted like nothing, drinking it every morning would be the devil...

After eating the porridge and putting on the battle armor again, Li Shen walked slowly outside the gate with his adjutant.I saw that Wang Zhen was already waiting by the car, and the young man seemed a little out of spirits today, with dark circles around his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well last night.

Li Shen looked at him in surprise and didn't ask. If Wang Zhen wanted to say it, he would naturally say it. If he didn't want to say it, then forget it.

In the car, when he was about to leave the city, Wang Zhen turned his head to look at Li Shen with his eyes closed, and suddenly said——

"If the Geng Army wants to become king, it will be the target of public criticism. I can't think of any possibility of success."

Li Shen let out a sneer from his nostrils, but didn't speak.

Wang Zhen was silent for a moment, then said again: "Why do you have to do it when you know it's a dead end?"

"You should ask Yang Huxing about this question." Li Shen leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and said, his voice was lazy and indifferent, "Ask him why he has to support him even though he knows it's meaningless." That cluster of Mars."

"Whether the Geng Army will go to death or not is not up to me to decide."

"Whether it's a dead end or a living road, the road is made by people. If you don't reach that level, who knows whether you are dead or alive...Young man, let me teach you a truth. If you really want to do something, don't think about it." Success or failure, do it first and then talk about it.”

"If you do it, you will succeed or fail, otherwise, it will be nonsense."
