Bastards

Cui Mata reaped a lot from this autumn banquet of the royal family.

Even if he stayed in the previous life, even if the relationship has infiltrated in the past four years, he and Yang Xuan have many friends in Luoyang, have a small sphere of influence, and can send back a lot of important information, but in the real sense, Cui Yu has never been familiar with Pass Luoyang.

He has heard of how many streets and districts there are in Luoyang, and where they are lively; but in the capital city at the foot of the emperor, how many important family powers are lingering, who speaks the most in which area, who has to look at whose wink, who has a relationship with Who has gaps, who has outstanding ability, who is covered in dust... There are so many people, you have to see them with your own eyes to form a deeper impression.

News is news, the content is heterogeneous, some are true and some are false, coupled with one's own observation and judgment, many things can form a three-dimensional impression, and the future will be easier to handle.

The Wang Family Autumn Banquet gave him this opportunity.

At this banquet, almost all the dignified people on the ground in Luoyang were included, whether they went out to let others see, or passed by in a low-key way, and saw some people and things in secret, combining unfamiliar faces with the information in their minds... As if seeing the sun through the clouds, the perception of Luoyang in his mind immediately became vivid.

For example, the prestige of the family, the subtle relationship between the royal family and the family, and the rise of the eight small families, is it the result of a power struggle...Rong Yanbin's ineffective appearance should be called a small family outside; There are no males, and the patriarchs of this generation are all adopted sons, and they can also enter the autumn banquet with a proud attitude by relying on their status as the Eighth Little Aristocratic Family.

It can be seen that the royal family tolerated it.

Being too tolerant is sometimes an attitude that is unreasonable.

No matter how rich your royal family is, no matter how rules you have, if the royal family wants to praise these people, you have to give face.Even if you can't get your highest guest seat, you still have to treat me well.

Cui Yu thought, the result of this is the result of many exchanges between the bright front and the dark side. A family like the Wang family, from being able to suppress the royal family in the past, to compromise everywhere now, must be a bit aggrieved...

And the King of Yue.

Originally, I didn't want to participate in this autumn banquet, but I didn't want to meet people from the royal family.Although he has determined the route and gained fame, he always has to contact this kind of people when he arrives in Luoyang, but if he can be late, it will be a little later. There is no big deal now, and it is only a moment to be able to relax for a while.

I didn't expect to come across it like this...

"Your elder brother is a person who can't be influenced."

Sitting in the carriage leaving the Wang's house, Cui Yu lowered his eyebrows, held the fan handle in his palm, and sighed: "The mind is too small."

"Today's IQ level is still online. It's okay. If I'm in a hurry, I don't know what to do." The fan twirled in the palm, the handle of the fan was grasped, and the top was pressed against the chin. Yang Xuan, "Actually, I'm quite afraid of dealing with idiots, because there is no logic, and I can't guess what I will do next."

Yang Xuan was not worried. He put his big hand over Cui Yu's shoulder and put down the light screen of the car window to block the wind so that this weak rabbit wouldn't get sick again. Endgame not working?"

There was contempt in this voice, Cui Yu let out a "poof" laugh, and lightly poked Yang Xuan's shoulder with his fan: "You are really bad, calling people stupid like that!"

Yang Xuan looked at the fan with jade-bone silk surface, and the slender fingers holding the handle of the white-run fan, Bi Meiyu's unyielding slender fingers, and asked in a slightly lower voice, "Isn't he stupid?"

"Stupid than you." Cui Yan pondered slightly, "But he has the emperor's favor, and a mother and concubine who wholeheartedly plan for him..."

If you beat the master to death with random punches, whether you can win by yourself depends a lot on your personal ability, especially in the battle for the crown prince. Whoever has the most power, who has the most people around him, who has the most weight, and whoever has the most chances relatively .

Yang Xuan was even less worried: "I have you."

Cui Mata was slightly startled.

Yang Xuan gently held Cui Yu's hand holding the handle of the jade fan: "You alone are worth tens of millions."

The apex of the heart was trembling, the roots of the ears were reddish, a hot temperature came from nowhere, and it was transmitted from the hands that were held together...

Cui Yu coughed twice, looked away: "Today is the first time you meet the King of Yue, I thought you would be very uncomfortable."

Yang Xuan was really uncomfortable for a while.He hated Queen Yue's mother and son, if it wasn't for them, how could his dignified prince be reduced to such a situation?He didn't know how many times he had simulated, how to kill them, how to flog the corpse...but Cui Yu was there.

A small act of protection, a deep love, Cui Yu's deep affection for him, how can he live up to it?

Cui Yu didn't hear the answer, thinking that Yang Xuan was still a little awkward, so he didn't continue, and quickly changed the topic: "Did you hear what I said to King Yue?"

Yang Xuan nodded: "Yes."

"So those prophecies... are up to you, young man!" Cui Yu tapped Yang Xuan's shoulder again with his fan, his eyes sparkling.

Yang Xuan was a little puzzled: "Rely on me?" After a while, he realized, the corners of his lips raised, and a smile appeared in his slender eyes, "You lied to him?"

"It's not entirely a lie. I was worried that the chance of spying on the sky would retaliate, so I was a little lazy." Cui Yu blinked and gave Yang Xuan a wink of "you understand".

There are side effects of using the ability. Although it is just painful and sleeping for a while, it does not have a big impact on the body, but it is also uncomfortable, and you may miss important information due to drowsiness.Cui Yu was more careful, feeling and telling the prophecy to the King of Yue... There is a lot to be processed.

"I only did a little calculation, and I know that he has had good luck recently. Tonight, he will indeed spoil a woman in a small dress with pink embroidered lotus leaves and gold trim. Afterwards, there will be two more marks on his back. Who is this woman? He identity, I didn't count. The time of the cloud and rain is also a bit vague, it may be a quarter of an hour, or it may be more or less. The backyard is restless, I met the red rope twice, and every time I saw it, there were small troubles. , it's all nonsense."

Cui Yu looked at Yang Xuan with bright eyes: "Isn't there a lot of hidden piles buried in your palace? Just give me a little help!"

The smile on Yang Xuan's lips was even bigger: "For example, make some noise to deliberately disturb and shorten the time for him to travel and spread rain, and quietly put a piece of red rope on the road he must pass..."

Cui Yu nodded again and again, with a tacit understanding of 'I understand you', and continued with a smile: "There are so many women in King Yue's backyard, no matter who he favors, there will always be someone who is jealous, and a little trouble is just a small trouble. Human arrangement Once he sees the red rope, some people in the backyard will get some information and make a fuss, immediately annoy him, is it completely feasible! You only need a few actions by your people, and the risk exposure is very small!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away." After Yang Xuan laughed, she frowned again, "If you count these things, will you really be backlashed?"

Cui Yu waved his hand indifferently: "I am willing. As long as the people and affairs around me are not too big, it will be fine. If you want to know too much and too far, you may have problems."

Seeing that Yang Xuan's brows were still unfurled, he rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand slightly, raised Yang Xuan's chin with a fan, and lowered his voice deliberately: "But are you afraid? Don't worry, brother will always protect you, baby!"

Yang Xuan's face darkened, and he grabbed his fan: "Don't make trouble."

"Hahahaha——" Cui Yu covered his belly and laughed, "I'm ashamed! You're still ashamed!"

Yang Xuan gave him a blank look.

Cui Yu made such a fuss, the atmosphere in the car changed suddenly, Yang Xuan wanted to hug him and teach him a lesson, to see if he dared to mess around, and for a moment forgot about the backlash...

It was so lively in the car, and Lan Qiao was very curious outside, but the master didn't ask anyone to wait on him, so he was very itchy, and he always looked back subconsciously.Thanks to Yang Xuan's reliable guards, the road he was walking was considered remote, and he deliberately cut off the space to intercept the occasional passers-by. Not only no one could hear what was said in the car, but few people saw his unprofessional performance.

Only Mu Tong came over and tapped his forehead with his fingers: "Little idiot, what are you having for dinner?"

"Don't call me an idiot!" Lan Qiao covered his forehead and began to argue with Mutong habitually, but forgot to pay attention to the inside of the car.

……

Cui Yu only felt a little bit about King Yue, and he was careful. He wasn't sure if there would be any side effects later, so he followed Yang Xuan's lead and started talking about business: "Where you are, the cloth bag that Lin Zhiyan took, Got it?"

Yang Xuan shook her head: "No."

"No?" Cui Yu was a little surprised, not as comfortable as you?And - "Impossible, I have never seen you lose to others."

Yang Xuan glanced at him meaningfully: "Of course I won't lose."

Cui Yu immediately understood: "So you did it on purpose!"

Yang Xuan played with Cui Yu's fan, lowered his head slightly, his eyebrows were hidden in the dark, and his voice was low: "The account book four years ago—do you still remember it?"

Four years ago... ledgers?

Of course Cui Mata remembered.

It was a very strange account book, which recorded the names of many people, and there was a string of numbers behind each name, like some kind of transaction.

At that time, he got a clue from Zhao Ji and sent Lan Qiao to Chang'an to get it. He happened to meet Yang Xuan who also got the news and went to get the same copy.On his side, there are clues left by Zhao Ji's elder brother Zhao Zhong who died when he was involved in a certain case while an official. On Yang Xuan's side, it was provided by Sun Min, a young news expert from the He Gang who inquired about it.

This account book is rumored to be very powerful. As long as you hold it, you can command the people on it. Almost all of these people are officials.

At that time, Cui Yu and Yang Xuan were in a weak position, eager to operate and expand their power. Seeing such things, it was impossible not to use them.However, it is important to improve one's own strength, and it is important to seek a big position, but other things cannot be ignored.

The two of them had a long talk, their ideals, their aspirations, what they want, what they want to manage, is a healthy and strong country, tricks and tricks can be used, but something like this - you can tell at a glance There is more than one book, it is so powerful that it has its own system, and there are many secret books buried in it, but we must be cautious.

The names above are all officials, who are corrupt and accept bribes.They are not afraid of being involved or getting into trouble, but they don't want to see their country like this.

So the two agreed to keep calm, find the people on the list, follow up and observe, and see if they can find something.

What they want to do is not to use this booklet to climb up, but to find it all, research it and understand it, and destroy this chain directly!

But it's very strange, many of the people on the booklet are dead and alive, their lives are very regular, nothing abnormal, and there is no other booklet on the market... If Yang Xuan hadn't been very patient, the surveillance would have been removed a long time ago .

Cui Mata himself almost forgot.

So when I mentioned it again, it was—"That cloth bag!" Cui Yu asked with a serious expression, "Could it be related to the account book?"

Yang Xuan's face was also very solemn: "In the snatch room, I took a chance to take a look. The cover, the inside pages, and the recording methods inside are all similar to the booklet we got, and there seems to be the same name inside."

This thing reappeared after four years.

But why?Who is manipulating, or who has deliberately suppressed, and finally can't suppress?

Who are those three different figures in black, white and gray?Why did you come here today to grab the same news clue?

Cui Yan's eyebrows twitched, and he thought of more: "If the booklet's effect is widely circulated, some people will think it's normal, but why did Lin Zhiyan go to get it in person after knowing this news? She is not an official person."

"And—" Yang Xuan stopped playing with the jade fan, "She probably knows what this thing is, so she said that with it, the king of Yue will definitely help Rong Yanbin's mother and child to be in the right position, and the value of this thing is completely worth it." Got it."

"But why did she say to use Peng Chuanyi's case?" At this point, Cui Yu was not sure about his memory, and asked Yang Xuan, "Did she say that, your people heard it?"

Yang Xuan nodded: "Yes."

Cui Yu's gaze became more serious: "This woman is a bit clever and has a deep scheming mind, but I don't think her vision is so intelligent. Peng Chuanyi's case was filed in Wencheng County. Later, because of his father's death, it became a criminal case. The murder case was transferred to Luoyang. There was only one sentence mentioned in the mansion newspaper. I didn't think Lin Zhiyan would pay attention to the mansion newspaper. It was a line of small characters that appeared suddenly. On the second day after sending Peng Chuanyi into the city, I met her on the street. Even if she knew about Peng Chuanyi at that time, how could she find out the whole story of the case in such a short period of time and think that she could use it? Where did she get the news? This is not something that can be used just by looking at it... ..."

Even he himself can't do it.If it wasn't for Fan Lingxiu's busy business trips, undiminished gossip, and never breaking contact with each other, Fan Lingxiu heard about the Peng family in Wencheng County and thought it would be interesting to write to him, and he saw it again soon. Di Bao——

He would never have thought that this matter could be used to inspire the Rong family and seek a chance for the prince to return to court!

Yang Xuan fixed her eyes on Cui Yu closely: "So you're guessing..."

"Maybe this thing has something to do with the Peng family's case?" Cui Yu was also taken aback by his guess, his eyes trembling, "Maybe he got it from the Peng family?" Further guessing, the death of Peng Chuanyi's father was also related to Xu's death. it related?

There was a sudden silence in the car.

Only the horseshoes are kicking, and the wheels are rolling and filling the four fields.

Even the wind stopped.

Cui Yu and Yang Xuan looked at each other with complicated emotions in their eyes, and they didn't speak for a while.

"If this is the case, the case of Peng Chuanyi is much more complicated than we imagined." Yang Xuan took the lead, reaching behind Cui Yu's back and stroking the back of his neck to comfort him.

Cui Yu squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and let out a long breath: "In any case, today, our plan can no longer be stopped. We will collect more information in the future, and let's see what happens."

"That's right." Yang Xuan sat calmly, her eyes were firm and unwavering, she was not afraid or worried, and her psychological quality was obviously much stronger than that of Cui Yu.

Cui Yu quietly looked at Yang Xuan.

Obviously this brat is much younger than him, but there are always times when it gives people a strong sense of support, as if looking at him, even if there is a storm, there is no need to be afraid...

After living for so long, he claims to be smart and fearless, and he is not as good as a child!

Cui Yu was a little upset, so he rushed forward and rubbed Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan was taken aback.

The beautiful rabbit in his field of vision suddenly approached, and pressed his slender fingers on his chest... He was afraid of hurting the rabbit's wrist, so he leaned back slowly, but the rabbit rushed over...

The distance between the two quickly drew closer, from touching to lying back, the distance between them was not more than an inch, eye to eye, lip to lip, nose to nose, just like Cui Yu suddenly rushed to kiss him, because he kept going Lie down, it's not the same as kissing.

His eyes are full of this person's figure, and his nose is full of this person's breath. He is afraid that this person will hurt him, so his hands are always protecting the back of this person's head and waist, and his hands feel soft and warm...

But this person kept on rubbing him up and down!

The blood on Yang Xuan's body was burning, and he longed for Cui Yu to get closer, a little closer... But the rabbit was so tormenting, it only rubbed fire on his body, and did nothing else!

Yang Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, and with a strong hug, Cui Yu was hugged into her arms.

The moment his body touched, he heard a sigh that seemed to come from the depths of his soul...

This is the person who will never let go of him for the rest of his life!

Cui Yu immediately felt something poked at the base of his thigh, gritted his teeth angrily, and struggled vigorously: "Let go——you let me go!"

Yang Xuan was reluctant, but Cui Yu struggled too hard, he was afraid of hurting Cui Yu, so he had to let go.It was the gaze towards Cui Yu that became even more resentful.

Cui Mata gritted his teeth angrily, and "hummed" loudly at him.

The little wolf dog who can't stand teasing!

What a cow, what a calm, what a calm, you don't know the truth, you don't know what the front looks like!

The two have been together for many years, and the level of tacit understanding is not what it used to be. Yang Xuan could tell what he was thinking at a glance, and sighed: "No matter what is ahead, I will accompany you."

Cui Mata rolled his eyes at him, it's only natural!

"Even if I die, no one will hurt you." Yang Xuan patted Cui Yu's head, "So, don't be afraid."

Cui Mata paused suddenly: "You, what did you say?"

"do not be afraid."

"The first sentence!"

"Even if I die, no one will hurt you at all."

Yang Xuan said this sentence lightly, as if it wasn't a big deal, but he could do it!He did exactly the same thing in his previous life!

Cui Yu gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes were slightly red: "Don't say such things in the future! I won't die, and you won't die either!"

Yang Xuan was stunned.He didn't know how these words hit Cui Yu, but Cui Yu was sad and unhappy, so he just wanted to coax him.He moved closer and held Cui Yu's hand: "Yes, you will not die, and I will not die either. You are so smart, and I am so powerful. Let's join hands and let others die. How can we die? Who are we?" They won't die, they will harm others for thousands of years..."

Cui Yu: ... such a serious joke is not funny at all, okay!

But the short-term mindless atmosphere is mixed...

Cui Yu wanted to quickly change the atmosphere in the car, so he mentioned something else: "You rescued me in time today, do you know what I heard?"

Yang Xuan followed his words and tilted her head: "What?"

"Dragon Guard!" Cui Yu was a little excited, "You are the prince, have you heard about Dragon Guard? I heard that everyone in it is an elite, and if you get it, you can win the world!"

Yang Xuan pondered: "You actually heard this."

"you know?"

Yang Xuan nodded: "Know a little bit. Rather than saying that the dragon guards win the world, it is better to say that whoever has the ability to win the world can own them."

Cui Yu was very curious: "How to say?"

"Dragon Guard is different from others in that it has its own secret inheritance. The first rule is that it must not be detrimental to the country under any circumstances. The second rule is that the rules allow them to choose their own master. Their master selection requirements are extremely strict and cannot be passed. Those who do not allow them to surrender. However, once they are approved, they will indeed assist and assist the master to gain control of the world..."

"So powerful? Where are they then?"

Yang Xuan shook his head: "I don't know. Their inheritance is extremely confidential, and the martial arts of the members are also extremely high. If they hadn't shown themselves, others would not have noticed." He tapped the table with his fingertips and raised his long eyebrows slightly, "I don't know Why is Longwei being mentioned, but neither my grandfather nor my father has been recognized by Longwei, and has not entered the center of power for so long. No one knows whether there is a strange phenomenon in Longwei. Count back 200 years , but there is a precedent of Longwei assisting a duke to overthrow a dynasty."

It was the first time Cui Yu heard of such a high-ranking team as Longwei, but after Yang Xuan's explanation, his mind has calmed down: "So even if they appear, we can't be more surprised than vigilant."

"Let's be normal. There is no information about them helping others to do evil. Let's just pay attention. If we are lucky enough to meet them one day, I will make sure that they have remained the same and have not changed. I am willing to do my best to obtain their approval. But at present The first thing to be wary of is the King of Yue." Yang Xuan frowned, "Does he know that booklet? Is there one of the masked assassins who came today?"

Cui Yu thought for a while, and a sarcastic smile curled up on the corner of his lips: "Whether he knew it before or not, now...he probably knows it too. Lin Zhiyan is smart, and it is impossible to give up this opportunity."
