Bastards

For the teahouse appointment, Yang Xuan brought Cui Yu with him.

To the world, the relationship between them is a secret, but it is not always the same for Longwei who is watching them closely.

People knew all kinds of things about them as early as 800 years ago.

But knowing it is knowing, Fu Rongsen and Yin Zimo didn't expect that the crown prince and Cui Yu really had nothing to hold back in front of them, and they didn't avoid suspicion.The two looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.

The prince they chose was indeed a hero with a clear and upright style!

Seeing the two people's expressions paused, Yang Xuan grinned with white teeth: "Why are you pretending to be surprised? How dare you two say you don't know the relationship between me and my wife?"

Fu Rongsen & Yin Zimo: ...

Cui Mata leaned on him, tried to smile, and flattened his lips: "Okay, okay, talk, talk!"

The daughter-in-law was upset, Yang Xuan punched her nose, coughed twice, and looked critically at Fu Rongsen and Yin Zimo: "Why are you two here? Are you afraid of being eaten by me?"

Yin Zimo's eyes widened immediately, he tugged at the corner of Fu Rong's clothes, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "Brother!"

Could this prince be implying that they should bring other dragon guards over?

What are you bringing?Did you cheat me!

Fu Rongsen patted Yin Zimo's shoulder reassuringly, indicating that it's time to salute.

"Fu Rongsen Yin Zimo sees His Royal Highness—"

Yang Xuan stopped him directly: "This is outside, everyone keeps a low profile, there is no need for such a big gift."

When the two stood up straight, Yang Xuan still didn't give up. He walked around the room and looked out the window again: "It's really just you two?"

The prince was so down-to-earth that Yin Zimo's apprehension and worry were wiped out earlier, and he snorted: "We will not be fooled by Your Highness!"

Fu Rongsen pulled the corner of his mouth for a rare moment, cupped his hands and said, "I've let His Highness down."

No matter how straightforward the words were, the tone of the voice was brisk. Obviously, he liked the current atmosphere and the prince's performance.

Cui Yan saw it, and gave Prince Xiong a thumbs up in his heart.

Yang Xuan will be in charge of a country in the future, and the whole world is his people. His subordinates, his power, different groups of people, should have different ways of controlling them. all different.

Long Wei is a strange force, but he can blend in, and it may bring him a lot of strength in the future.Because they were not together before, it is best to put on a friendly gesture when they first merged. As for their own character, their own limits, and their own rules, they can be revealed step by step and a little bit in the future getting along...

Yang Xuan shook his clothes slightly, and sat directly on the first seat: "Competition of chess, one game determines the outcome, if I beat Fu Rongsen, you two will belong to me, but that's it?"

Fu Rongsen smiled: "Indeed."

Yang Xuan waved his sleeves with the same momentum: "Go to the chessboard!"

The room was booked by Yang Xuan's secret guard, everything was ready, someone immediately brought the chessboard and put it on the small table.

"Master Xiao Fu, please—"

"His Royal Highness, please—"

While talking, the two sat on opposite sides of the chessboard, guessing and starting the game, the chess game started immediately, that was called a straightforward one.

Yin Zimo was very confident in Fu Rongsen's chess skills. He stood behind Fu Rongsen, clenching his fists. His big cat-like eyes glanced at the prince for a while, then at Fu Rongsen for a while, looked at the chess game for a while, and looked at the tea for the two of them. Call that a favor.

Cui Mata was very curious about this game.

He understands Yang Xuan. He looks domineering and sharp, but he is quite cautious in his chess moves. He plays steadily, complements offense and defense, and has deep thoughts. Most of the masters will not get any benefit from playing games with him, and they will basically be caught by him quietly. , died in the pit, and finally failed miserably.

As far as chess is concerned, Yang Xuan has few opponents.

He was not very willing to go out with Yang Xuan.

Fu Rongsen seems to be a serious and cautious person, and his chess moves will definitely not jump out of this circle. Yin Zimo trusts him so much, and his layout methods and offensive and defensive routines must also be very good.

This game is probably a long-term difficult game.

As a result, the two chess pieces came out at once, and Cui Yu almost lost his eyes in shock.

It's just that Yang Xuan's way of playing chess doesn't match his domineering and sharp temperament, but Fu Rongsen's performance is completely different from his personality!His chess moves are wide open and closed, as if he is engulfed in the momentum of war, sharp and domineering, relentless, attacking fiercely, attacking fiercely, as if he doesn't know what defense is at all!

In response to the saying 'the best defense is to attack', Fu Rongsen seemed to have no defense, but the defensive effect was very good. At least for a while, Yang Xuan didn't take advantage of it.

Yang Xuan wasn't in a hurry, no matter how sharp the opponent was, he was as steady as Mount Tai, he didn't even bat an eyelid, ignored the opponent's attack, just played steadily and played his own game... It's not a pity to lose, anyway, quietly buried It's a trap, it's a lure game, as soon as Fu Rongsen's son comes over, there will be a trap!

Seeing that Fu Rongsen lost seven or eight sons in a row, Yin Zimo gritted his teeth angrily: Despicable!

This prince is too gloomy, he's so weak!He looks very gentlemanly, stable, and easy to bully, but he is actually pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. When biting people, he is precise and ruthless, and he doesn't show any signs in advance, so no one else can guard against him!

Yang Xuan came out with her bag in her hand, and smiled at Fu Rongsen with a mouthful of white teeth: "Accept."

Fu Rongsen was slightly surprised for a moment.

The way of chess is like human nature. It seems that they still underestimated this prince. The prince has a deep heart, a high method, and a far-reaching strategy... so far!

No matter how surprised, the chess pieces in his hand did not change positions.

The prince has the ways of the prince, he has his own style, it is impossible for him to give up what he is good at so easily in order to defend against such a strong opponent.He is Fu Rongsen, he is Long Wei, he is himself!Whether he wins or loses, his path is under his feet, his sword is in his hand, and it will never change!

These two people fought extremely fiercely, they used all kinds of tricks, in order to win, it can be said that they exhausted their ingenuity.

While Cui Yu and Yin Zimo enjoyed watching, they also understood that this game will not be short-lived.

The four of them gathered here today, saying they were playing chess, but their purpose was not that simple.

Yang Xuan and Cui Yan made up their minds to test Longwei more. As for Longwei, he must also know their thoughts, so he must be more vigilant and carefully examine the prince's ability again.

These two people are focused on fighting in the chess game, and they can't avoid the temptation of the happy god. Cui Yu and Yin Zimo will definitely not just stand and watch.

Cui Yu pointed to the table in front of the window and extended an invitation: "Shall we have a cup of tea over there?"

Yin Zimo is as good as others: "Okay."

Two cups of hot tea smelled fragrant, and the two sitting opposite each other looked at each other and smiled.One smiles handsomely and elegantly, the other smiles innocently and cutely, without a hint of chill at all, they are not at all the same as the two chess players.

Cui Yu was the first to speak: "The jade pendant around Mr. Yin's waist is so eye-catching—"

Before he could finish a casual opening sentence, Yin Zimo became vigilant: "Don't think of stereotypes, I won't tell you!"

Cui Mata: ...I haven't said anything yet.

This kid is too honest.

Cui Yu smiled, and didn't mind. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he likes innocent and straightforward people very much.

Yin Zimo seemed to realize that his tone was not very good. Holding the pot with his own hands, he refilled Cui Yu's tea with a very serious face: "I like you very much, but at this stage I can't make friends with you, don't be angry."

Cui Yu just smiled: "Well, don't be angry, I like you very much too, you are very cute."

Yin Zimo cocked his tail proudly: "Isn't it? My brother always praises me like that."

Yang Xuan & Fu Rongsen playing chess: ...

Just talk and talk, what's going on if you say you like each other!

Cui Yu's eyes drooped slightly, long eyelashes concealed the hidden meaning in his eyes, after a moment of silence, he said again: "Everyone in Luoyang city says you are a dandy, but I think you are more particular than ordinary dandies, in this city, except Young Master Yang Kuang of the Wang Family of Qinghe County, you are the best at playing."

Speaking of this topic, Yin Zimo became even more proud: "Of course! Yang Kuang and I are the real dudes. Those young masters who call themselves 'Luoyang Five Tigers' and 'Luoyang Eight Eagles' are far behind!"

Cui Yu continued the topic, provoking Yin Zimo to talk: "Oh, is that so? I don't understand the reason behind this, Mr. Yin, would you like to explain it to me?"

"I didn't expect you to be able to play too..." Yin Zimo blinked, smiled like a cat, and leaned closer, "I tell you, there is a lot of knowledge here, for example, this cricket fight is not always possible It’s fun to play, the seasons are different, it’s not fun, it must be after the autumnal equinox, the crickets are ripe and mature, and they can play happily! The crickets in Qi County and Wuyang County are the best. They have a rough head and a violent temper. , White is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, red is not as good as yellow, you choose one carefully, and it will definitely kill the world..."

"For example, it is said that you can't get tired of fine food, and you can't get tired of fine food..."

"For example, playing calligraphy and painting..."

Yin Zimo gave several examples in a row, all about how to play, how to reward, what is the real way, those who don't care about the times, the climate, the characteristics of the age, just take the money and smash it, just to hear the sound and get a lot of people's praise The prodigal sons of the two sentences are all idiots, they don't know how to play, and they don't deserve the word 'dandy' at all!

"The more you don't know how to pretend to understand, the more you can create and toss, which lowers the level of our dandies." Yin Zimo looked down with contempt, "Real dandies are all good at playing, they are all highly educated, and they are very good at research. Deep, no matter where there is a game, where there is a good thing, you are called Yang Kuang or me, you can tell at a glance, it is someone else..."

He snorted: "Last time, a picture of a beautiful woman suddenly appeared on the market. It was said to be Cao Buxing's work. It was very lively, and the market price skyrocketed. Some people sent it to me specifically, trying to seduce me." I bought it, but I went with Yang Kuang, and guess what? It’s fake! It’s easy to cheat by looking at how much money we have! "

……

When Yin Zimo was talking, Cui Yu was naturally not idle. He not only listened quietly, but also participated in the conversation, hoping to get something useful while Yin Zimo was not paying attention.

Appreciation is appreciation, liking is appreciation, and you can't forget the business, right?

The result was unexpected.

I thought that Yin Zimo had a naive face, with precautions written on his face, looking silly, and he was very good at clichés, but when he left and right, the topic could spread to the sky, but he didn't reveal any useful information.

Is this the talent?

This method can't be used... Cui Yu thought to himself, should I change the way?

The new route hasn't been decided yet, but the topic can't stop. Yin Zimo mentioned the picture of beauties, and he answered casually: "Speaking of beauties, my little uncle is the best at appreciating them..." Before he finished speaking, he felt that this development The direction is not quite right, but the words have been spoken, so we have to continue. It is not good to turn too bluntly.

He smiled slightly: "My little uncle is the best at appreciating beauty, and he doesn't pay much attention to other things, such as food and clothing. They may not be the most expensive and the best, but they must be extremely pleasing to the eye and extremely beautiful."

Yin Zimo followed with a smile: "That's right, who doesn't like beautiful things?"

At this point in the topic, it seems a bit abrupt.

Fu Rongsen interrupted suddenly, as if he wanted to make fun of Yin Zimo: "The one from the Cui family is very meticulous in his research and meticulous, but he is different from you. You like beautiful things, you only like their shapes, and you like shapes to show cuteness, but you can't compare with others. "

Yin Zimo became shy, his face was flushed and his eyes were moist: "Brother - I won't take you to tear things apart like this!"

When the atmosphere was getting active again, Yang Xuan made a 'snap' and laughed loudly: "You lost!"

Fu Rongsen frowned, looked at the chessboard, and threw a piece to admit defeat: "Your Highness has a good chess game, but he is indeed slightly inferior."

Yang Xuan clicked her tongue lightly: "You were also distracted. Do you want to play another game?"

"I would like to bet and admit defeat." Fu Rongsen smiled, "Your Highness is really good at chess, even if I didn't get distracted just now, I couldn't beat His Highness, so I have to linger on for a while."

Cui Yu looked at this scene, and suddenly felt a little dazed, as if something was wrong...

Yin Zimo is lively and cheerful, and he does not reject chatting with him. Every topic can bring out a lot of insights, and he can talk endlessly. When he mentioned that his little uncle loves beauty, Yin Zimo didn't continue to diverge his thoughts, but added a sentence-beautiful things , everyone likes it.

Made a topic terminator.

Does he really have nothing else to say about the word 'beautiful'?

Not necessarily, Xu didn't know how to answer the words, so he subconsciously followed suit.

Fu Rongsen opened his mouth, seemingly showing affection, but in fact it was a bit like a rescue. The two restored each other to the past, making the atmosphere relaxed.

These words and phrases are too common, too casual, without any trace, but after careful thought, there is still a slight difference from the normal situation.

Why is this so?

The dragon guards pay attention to Yang Xuan, they will know him, and then know that the little uncle is normal, why are they so sensitive to this topic?

The word 'beautiful' is nothing special, so... because of the little uncle.

They are not just familiar with the little uncle.It's not just because of Cui Yu's relationship that I know and pay attention.

The dragon guards have a thread in their minds, it doesn't matter if they don't touch it, once they touch it, the other party will be subconsciously wary, the reaction will be paused, and the words will be carried on in the most natural way, so as not to arouse others' suspicion.

But Cui Mata is not an ordinary person.

Precisely because of this, he was even more suspicious.

Little uncle...why is it so special?

He is acquainted with Long Wei, even the thread in the establishment of Long Wei's self-awareness... So he is also Long Wei!

As soon as this idea popped up, Cui Mata's eyes widened.

The little uncle is very good at martial arts, and he can't see the end of the dragon. He doesn't know what to do all day long. For example, he ran out of Luoyang recently and didn't know what to do.He is not short of money, he wanders around all day without looking good, hangs around the brothel and Chuguan for countless times, he looks like a gamer, but he maintains a rare innocence, which makes his whole person's temperament extremely mysterious.

What the hell is the little uncle doing... Cui Mata thought about this matter, but didn't ask deeply.

Everyone has their own way of life, and this is the relatives who love and protect him, and he should respect them.

He never doubted his little uncle.Although the little uncle is sometimes a bit crazy, and the timing of being a demon is also very strange, and it always feels a little wrong to face Yang Xuan... But the little uncle is a family member, and he is really kind to him.

But if the little uncle is Longwei, everything will have a reasonable explanation.

Cui Yu was thinking anxiously, a little sure, but still doubtful, thinking about it, he wanted to test it out...

While he was thinking, Fu Rongsen had already conceded defeat, and pulled Yin Zimo to kneel down to admit his master: "My subordinate, Fu Rongsen, Yin Zimo, see the master!"

Yang Xuan called the two of them to get up: "I know your rules, you two surrender to me, it doesn't mean the entire Dragon Guard surrenders to me, I will continue to follow your rules until the entire Dragon Guard surrenders, you don't need to Breaking the rules, leaking secrets to me...Although you certainly won't, I won't make things difficult for you."

Yin Zimo was a little excited, and pulled Fu Rongsen's sleeve, his big eyes flickered: "Brother——"

He misunderstood the prince, the prince is actually a good man!

Before Fu Rongsen had time to appease Yin Zimo, Yang Xuan spoke again.

"I'm righteous, so you can't be too stingy. I've put in so much effort to subdue you two, don't you have to give me some rewards?"

While talking, he was still laughing, like a weasel who stole the blood, with an extremely hateful look on his face!

Yin Zimo froze.

Good man ass!

Why is it so hard?They were obviously tricked out on purpose!

Use cheap tricks, get cheap and act like a good boy, dare to ask for rewards?

Do you want to face!

He glared at the prince angrily, and then looked at Fu Rongsen, the backbone.

Fu Rongsen pondered for a moment, and said: "There is no rule, but His Highness has spoken, and the subordinate will make an exception once."

Yin Zimo was in a hurry: "Brother——"

Fu Rongsen patted his hand, indicating that it's okay, walked in front of Yang Xuan, and said slowly: "In the last letter, we said that in Luoyang City, there is a Turkic man who has been in business for decades and has a lot of experience. "

Yang Xuan's expression immediately became serious: "Yes."

Fu Rongsen's eyes drooped slightly: "Your Highness also knows that we Longwei have been following the booklet to track down the matter of the man in gray."

Yang Xuan nodded, his eyes gradually narrowed, with a slightly fierce look: "So... that man in gray is one of his subordinates."

"That's right." Fu Rongsen raised his brows slightly, and his eyes were sharp, "I'm ashamed to say that Long Wei only knew about this in recent years, and this person only recently discovered his existence. Who is he and where is he? It has not been found out yet. Because it is not clear how powerful this person is, Long Wei dare not act rashly, and is still on the edge, waiting for an opportunity."

"One thing has been confirmed recently."

Fu Rongsen looked at Yang Xuan quietly: "Your Highness, do you still remember how many times King Yue was assassinated?"

Of course Yang Xuan remembered.

Since arriving in Luoyang, he has seen the assassination of the King of Yue several times. The one with the deepest memory is Cui Yu's first arrival in Luoyang.

At the autumn banquet of the Wang family, King Yue was assassinated again. This time, there were more than one assassin, and there was a lot of trouble. King Yue managed to save his life.

He has the deepest memory of these two times, because the assassins of these two times had exactly the same tattoos on their bodies.

It's the head of a strange beast bird, like some kind of totem, the depiction effect is quite scary, especially the pair of cold eyes, which are particularly scary.

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean..."

"Your Highness guessed right, this organization is somewhat related to the man in gray, and is very obsessed with King Yue's life."

Yang Xuan pondered.

Long Wei is cautious, unless the evidence is conclusive, he will not release his words casually. The evidence is insufficient, but he knows it well, so he just described it as 'somewhat related'.

This tattoo organization is probably also the force of the Turkic people.

Why are you obsessed with the life of King Yue?

Because the King of Yue is the successor of Da'an, is it a threat?

In the past, it was indeed true, but now, since he stood at the boundary of Luoyang and the court, the situation has changed day by day. If others want to ruin Daan's future... they should start with him.

Only obsessed with Yue Wang, why?

The room was suddenly quiet.

Yang Xuan murmured, thinking non-stop; Fu Rongsen lowered his brows, quietly doing what a subordinate of Longwei should do; Yin Zimo had already guessed why Fu Rongsen was like this, and stood quietly aside...

A sharp light flashed in Cui Yu's eyes, and he was thinking anxiously, ideas popping up one after another.

Long Wei is indeed Long Wei, the weight of the news is extraordinary!

He has always been a person who does not want to rest. As long as there is information, there will be thinking, and there will be a decision. How to make good use of such important news?

It's better to have another game of counting birds with one stone!

Cui Yu suddenly looked at Fu Rongsen and asked, "You said that the tattoo organization is extremely obsessed with the life of King Yue. Are they staring at King Yue all the time?"

"Yes." Fu Rongsen replied with certainty, "But as the emperor's most beloved son, the king of Yue has extremely strong guards around him, and he is often in the palace and rarely walks outside, so these people can't find a chance to attack him."

Cui Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "So once they have the opportunity, they will definitely attack, and they don't need to be lured at all."

Fu Rongsen: "Yes."

Cui Yu asked again: "Can't they enter the palace?"

"Yes."

Fu Rongsen is actually a little skeptical about this point. An organization is full of dead men who don't want their lives, and their skills are not bad. If it is like this, if you really want to kill a prince and sneak into the palace with your life, it is definitely not impossible, but They didn't.

When Yang Xuan saw Cui Yu's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were shining with wisdom, and his earnest appearance was extremely touching... then he knew that his Qingqing had an idea!

He walked up to Cui Yu, with an expectant look on his face: "But what did you think of?"

Cui Yu smiled slightly, and the room was filled with brilliance.

"Your Highness, you will probably be busy next time." He said, "I have a chain plan here..."
