Bastards

The prince was busy for a long time, saving people and escorting them, he put his own safety at risk, and was injured.

When the situation finally stabilized, Concubine Tian Guifei, Prince of Yue County, came to pick peaches.

Concubine Tian Gui didn't have to do anything, she just plunged into Taikang Ding's arms, cried a few times, pressed Taikang Emperor up and down to look up and down, and eagerly asked if she was injured or uncomfortable, the dragon's body could be in the way, minister The concubine was scared to death and so on a series of words, it was enough for Emperor Taikang to take pity on her.

As for women, they are timid and have to be protected by men. Besides, although this woman is not very courageous, she is cute, but her heart is solid, and she has blocked the knife for him!

As for the king of Yuejun, he doesn't need to do too many other things, just follow Concubine Tian Guifei's performance, beat the side drums, make a red eye, and then push away everyone, take care of Emperor Taikang himself, all personal matters, no matter how big or small, big or small Take care of everything to ensure that Taikangdi can be comfortable. If you want tea and tea, you can eat and drink. If you want to change clothes, you can get warm ones immediately. If you want to take a bath, you can do it immediately!

When danger comes, life-saving is the most important thing. You must follow the prince's footsteps. Once the crisis is over, looking back at your own performance, you always feel a little embarrassed and a little cowardly.Emperor Taikang didn't want to admit that it was him, so he pretended to forget it and forced others to pretend they didn't see it.

Now that it is safe, the emperor's majesty has to be re-established. How can he be unusual the fastest?Naturally, it was the concubine's worries, and the various treatments that only the emperor could enjoy.

Yuejun Wang did a good job.

The prince can't do it anymore, he is busy catching assassins and cleaning the scene, how can he have time to serve him?

Sui Taikang Emperor was very satisfied with the performance of King Yuejun, with more and more smiles on his face, and patted King Yuejun on the back from time to time, saying: He is really a good son of mine!

King Yuejun grew up under Emperor Taikang's knees, and he knew how to flatter Emperor Taikang's heart. Now that he has used all kinds of skills, Emperor Taikang is both complacent and soft-hearted.

After all, it is the son who has been doting on him for so many years, that is filial piety!

Being moved, Emperor Taikang even thought about whether or not he should restore the Duke of Yue County...

But on another thought, this son is good, sensible, and filial, but he is still too young and impulsive, so he needs to be suppressed a little.

Moreover, just after he regained the title of King Chang, he brought out a bunch of disgusting things, which was quite a slap in the face. It's better to take it slow on the cusp of the storm.

The decision was made, but in his heart, the king of Yuejun was already the king of Yue.

Seeing King Yue worrying about him in his honorable body, he was sweating so much that Emperor Taikang felt even more distressed, and the tone of his speech was also brought out, and he agreed to a bunch of rewards in advance...

Seeing the emperor's performance, all the ministers who survived the catastrophe felt chills in their hearts.

The prince escaped death, stepping on blood, bathed in the light of the knife, regardless of his own danger, and fought several times to save the lives of the emperor and them. The credit for such a sacrifice of life is not as good as the flattery of the king of Yuejun ?

The king of Yuejun is the prince with a noble status, and the prince is still the prince who was decreed by the first emperor himself to confer the title of Zijinyin!

The current crisis is not completely over, the prince is still ahead, the emperor has not said a word, has not given any kindness, not even a word of encouragement and comfort, but has rewarded the king of Yue who has not made any achievements and only came to serve at the right time, not afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers what?

Everyone looked at the prince who was cleaning up the mess in front of him, and they still didn't care when they heard the news. They seemed to be used to it, and continued to concentrate on doing their own things...

Everyone sighed in their hearts.

Where is the future of Daan and what will the future be? They have new thoughts in their hearts.

……

The assassination of the emperor is a big matter. Even if the chaos on the battlefield is cleared up, there will be a lot of things to do afterwards.

Everyone has to investigate, the guards have to be excellent, the security issues have to be the best, the assassins have to be chased, the captives have to be questioned, the civil and military ministers and dignitaries have to be appeased, and the departure tomorrow has to be prepared... In short, everyone is very busy.

This night, no one could sleep soundly, including Emperor Taikang, who is currently the most idle and honorable, some of them didn't even sleep all night.

Only Cui Mata enjoys it very much.

There were wooden guards guarding him, and Yang Xuan would send people over to take a look from time to time, and personally opened the back door for him, set a time and route for him to come out leisurely, and rush to the wooden house on the top of the mountain leisurely, without anyone knowing, it couldn't be safer.

The wooden house is built on the side of the cliff, a small one, not very big, I don’t know what kind of wood it is made of, the color is slightly dark, but it is not ugly, it is located alone on the cliff, exposed to wind, frost, rain and snow, it has a taste of independence .

Open the door and enter, the floor in the room is glowing with wood, the couch is covered with fine silver fox fur, a space is dug out on the side of the wall, and it is paved with special materials. At this moment, firewood is burning inside, warming the whole room, but it will not burn anything.

Cui Yu took off his thick cloak and walked to the table.

There is brewed tea on the table, emitting dense white smoke, and there are delicious snacks beside the tea, exuding a faint fragrance, not too sweet, but very fragrant.

The window is very large, not perpendicular to the ground, but rather oblique. Sitting at the table, you can see the sky above your head, and you can also see the open and dangerous scenery under the cliff.

Cui Mata couldn't help liking such a beautiful and quiet place.

He drank tea, watched the scenery, became interested, and boiled a pot of wine, sipping slowly.

Until the stars and the moon gradually rise.

It is not easy to track down Ashina Huyun. The situation is now the most critical and possibly the most dangerous time.But he is good at scheming, and he can also play tricks, but he doesn't know martial arts. At this time, he can't do anything but wait.

Waiting is always the hardest.

Fortunately, he is in a good mood, and there is still a good scene in front of him, good wine...how can he live up to it?

The smell of wine is full of teeth, slightly intoxicated, only the clear stars and moon in the sky are in the bottom of the eyes, only the crackling and burning sound of sawdust is heard in the ears, and when a heart seems to be able to break through the sky and fly, Yang Xuan arrives.

"You're here—" Cui Yu pulled him to sit by the window, pointed excitedly at the stars and moon in the sky, and offered the wine to his lips as if offering a treasure, "It's very beautiful, isn't it? Would you like to try it?"

Yang Xuan drank the wine with Cui Yu's hand: "Well, it's delicious!"

Cui Yu's eyes were bent into crescents, and he stretched out his hands: "Hug!"

Yang Xuan hugged him tightly.

"Why do you drink so much?"

He liked Cui Yu's initiative and enjoyed this rare surprise, but he was worried that Cui Yu would not feel well after drinking too much, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it to Cui Yu's forehead.

Cui Yu pushed his hand away, straddled his waist, put his arms around his neck, and leaned over to kiss him.

Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded enthusiastically...

Because there were many things at hand, and the time to go out for a briefing was limited, there was no way to make it to the end, Yang Xuan felt a little regretful.

Cui Yu was not sorry, he really just wanted to kiss.

Such a star and moon, such a scene, if you don't appreciate it, it's a warm and romantic one, which is really a pity for the audience.To be romantic, it must not be too intense...

He pulled Yang Xuan to sit on the ground in a row, and the two of them moved exactly the same, looking up at the sky with their chins propped up.

"Is it nice?"

"nice."

"Do you feel that your heart is quiet for a moment, that the world is very, very beautiful, and you are also very, very good?"

"Ah."

"I knew you liked it! Because I really like it too!"

Yang Xuan looked at Cui Mata, who had slanted eyebrows and eyes, which was rare to reveal a little bit of youthful vivacity and love and playfulness, and felt so soft in his heart.

He put his arms around Cui Yu's waist, feeling the warmth of the other person's body soaking through his clothes. He obviously didn't do anything, but he was more satisfied than doing anything...

After being lively for a while, Cui Yu suddenly stopped, staring at the stars and the moon outside.

Yang Xuan kissed the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong?"

Cui Yu tilted his head slightly, his eyelashes quivering slightly: "I was thinking, it's better to be alive."

Yang Xuan didn't understand: "Huh?"

"Only by living can I meet you."

Cui Yu turned his head, held Yang Xuan's face in his hands, and looked very serious: "There is a starry sky, there is wine, and you, everything I like and yearn for is here!"

Yang Xuan's eyes darkened, and his voice became hoarse: "You like me so much?"

Cui Mata nodded heavily: "Yes!"

"Just me, nothing else?"

"I want beautiful scenery and wine!"

"Except for what?"

"No more!"

Cui Yu shook his head, and answered clearly and simply.

Yang Xuan couldn't hold back, hugged Cui Yu tightly, and kissed him hard.

His darling, no matter how smart and how capable he is, he is the simplest person in his heart...

He must give everything he has, sit on the supreme position, and protect this simplicity!

……

Cui Yu drank too much wine and fell asleep in a daze. Yang Xuan carried him to the bed, covered him with the quilt, and stared at his sleeping face for a long time. There was really no time to delay, so he ordered the people below to take good care of him and left.

In order to squeeze out this little time to spend together, Yang Xuan stayed up all night and dealt with various things all the time, until the sky turned white and the sun was about to rise, before he found a little space.

He still didn't sleep, but flew directly up the cliff to find Cui Yu.

Cui Yu had a good night's sleep and was about to wake up. When he saw Yang Xuan, he was a little surprised: "Why haven't you left yet? There are so many things going on below, leaving you..."

Seeing the clothes on Yang Xuan's body, he rubbed his forehead and smiled, "You came to accompany me on purpose again."

Yang Xuan put on clothes for him: "Did you sleep well?"

Cui Yu nodded: "You have a lot of things to do, so you don't have to..."

Yang Xuan put her hand against his lips, not letting him say more, and looked at him quietly, her eyes were full of love, almost overflowing: "I'll watch the sunrise with you."

Seeing this, Cui Mata stopped talking and just laughed.

If he wants to be tired, let him be tired. Anyway, he has martial arts, and his body can be built...

The two watched a visually stunning sunrise together. The sea of ​​clouds billowed against each other, the purple air was transpiring, and the orange-red sun moved up a little bit, and finally jumped out, exuding a golden glow.

They kissed when the first ray of sunlight came down that day, and the sunlight stretched their shadows long and blended together, they couldn't be torn apart, couldn't be separated, and they couldn't tell who was who.

After the kiss, Yang Xuan touched Cui Yu's face reluctantly: "I have to go."

"Well, hurry up, you leave, so I can stroll back slowly."

Cui Mata didn't miss it at all.

Yang Xuan escorted Emperor Taikang away, and the guards of the imperial mausoleum dispersed, and there was no one around, so he walked back without any scruples, without even needing to avoid people.

Seeing that Yang Xuan didn't move for a long time, he urged: "Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"

Yang Xuan: ...

Ok.

The daughter-in-law has to listen.

……

Emperor Taikang's guard of honor set off in the morning, still ostentatiously and majesticly all the way, even more high-profile than when he came.

This means that the majesty of the royal family is inviolable, so what if it is assassinated, the royal family of Da'an is ordered by the heavens, and has its own blessings.

After noon, Cui Yu calmly ate his lunch and enjoyed the scenery for a while before heading back to the city leisurely.

Sure enough, as expected, the journey went smoothly without any trouble.

After entering Luoyang City, the atmosphere was a little sluggish and tense, the people were not too lively, and there were fewer people listening to Qu'er's storytelling.

This kind of reaction is normal. The emperor was assassinated and almost died. No matter how you say it, it is not a good thing. Who knows if there is any suffocation. Before the wind leaks out, everyone should keep a low profile.

Going home and entering the door, the little tiger heard the sound and rushed over to play with the master. Cui Ying directed the servant girl to come over with food and drink, and reported to Cui Yu by the way: "The little uncle said that he had something to look for at night, so he should not go too early. sleep."

"Ah."

Cui Yu also guessed that everyone must have a meeting tonight.

"I don't know if little uncle will bring friends here, I'll go prepare something more..." Cui Ying tilted her head, and in an instant, a bunch of food and drink came up in her mind, and she didn't forget to ask Cui Yu, "What do you want to use at night, brother?"

Cui Yu rubbed Cui Ying's head: "They are all big men, don't pay attention to it, but you, don't worry about it, spend more time, and prepare more dowry for yourself, wouldn't it be good?"

It was rare for a girl to be shy when she heard this, Cui Ying blushed: "Brother——"

"I have a few boxes of things. I'll ask Lan Qiao to send them to you later. Don't save your brother. The things are for you, you know? That bastard Yang Zhao is too stupid. If you don't care about yourself, you will be cheated." What should I do?"

Cui Ying was coaxed by Cui Yu to talk about this, and she couldn't find the north. She walked out of Cui Yu's yard, and just remembered that she came to care for her brother and wanted to take care of him, but why was she stuffed with so many things instead!

She already has a lot of dowry. The older brother brought the younger uncle, plus the crown prince, and the friend of the younger uncle who did not want to be named. The one box on the left and the other box on the right were drawn for her. Still giving!

Think about it, it's the concern of my elder brother and younger uncle, it's not good to not want it, she can't do anything else, not to mention a big reward, neither brother nor uncle, what can be done is to take care of her life more carefully and better.

But now it's good, she won't even be allowed to do this job!

Cui Ying's heart was filled with warm satisfaction, but also with sour reluctance.

Really... I really don't want to get married!

……

At the end of Haishi.

Xiang Ling, Cui Shu, and Yang Xuan gathered in Cui Yu's room.

Cui Yu looked left and right: "What about the three, why didn't they come?"

He was referring to Fu Rongsen, Yin Zimo and Guan San.

The little uncle understood his nephew very well, and explained to him: "They are busy with their own affairs, and they can't go away. In fact, everyone can come every time to discuss something. After planning the route, we will inform each other separately. that is."

Cui Yan nodded, implying that Xiang Ling's status in the organization is not low, and he can issue orders directly after he has decided on some matters.

"However, they are also very angry about the fact that Ashina Huyun came and ran away, and even attempted to assassinate him this time."

This time they are working together to make a joint layout, stockpiling food, the household department, and the combination of the king of Yuejun. , to be happy about.

But Ashina Huyun actually had military strength, was so courageous, and was cautious enough, which made them somewhat frustrated.

No wonder it has been hidden for decades and no one knows about it, it does have some skills!

Xiang Ling added: "What is gratifying is that the scene was chaotic enough, and Concubine Tian Guifei, the king of Yue County, cooperated very well. Ashina Huyun would not doubt me, nor would he doubt the prince."

This point is very important, the advantage of the enemy being clear and the enemy being dark is so great, you can only understand it if you have it, and now, they still maintain this advantage.

A question suddenly popped up in Cui Yu's mind: "This Ashina Huyun, does he know that Dragon Guards exist?"

If he knew, would such a cautious person become suspicious?

Cui Shu laughed: "Nephew, what do you think of our Longwei, everyone in the street knows?"

Xiang Ling also smiled: "Longwei has a secret existence, and never communicates with outsiders. Those in power who have been in contact with in history, even if they have won the loyalty of Longwei, will not say it casually, but change the name of the secret team and put it on their side. On the other hand, he said it was his own secret guard..."

The people in charge of the world are all powerful people. No matter who gets the news of Longwei and knows the importance, how can they tell others to compete with them?If you are recognized for your allegiance, you will secretly laugh in your heart, but if you are not recognized, you will have no face to speak out.

Moreover, in the Longwei team, there are people who are responsible for this part. Once people with ulterior motives know about Longwei and want to take the opportunity to make trouble, someone will go and clean it up.

Before they felt that something was wrong, when they set up a trap to catch the brochures, they deliberately borrowed the identity of Yuejun Wang Pingjun, playing the guise of the prince, and the Turkic people didn't know it.

So right now, I probably don't know.

Cui Mata took a long breath, so he felt more at ease...

The room was quiet for a moment, and Yang Xuan tapped the table lightly with her fingertips: "In the palace, I caught two hidden nails, but in the army, I only found three corpses and five suspicious people. , you have to be careful."

This is still a continuous long-term plan, and it is impossible to have results in a short time. The results that are thrown out are just blindfolds used by others.

"It's not urgent." Cui Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. "What I care about is who is that Turkic man and where did he go..." He looked at Xiang Ling, "You must have something to gain, right?"

Xiang Ling nodded: "I put Midie Chasing Soul fragrance on him."

"Midie Chasing Soul Incense?"

"That's a good thing!" Cui Shu snatched Xiang Ling's words, and he was very excited to explain to Cui Yu, "It's colorless, odorless, and doesn't have any special touch. It can’t be washed, and even days of heavy rain won’t work, at least fifteen days! People can’t smell it, but Midi can, as long as one is released, it will take that person through all the routes until he is found! "

Cui Yu had never heard of this fan butterfly, but seeing Yang Xuan's expression, he also knew that this thing was strange enough, probably only Long Wei had it.

He immediately became interested: "So you found Ashina Huyun? Where is he? Who is his alias?"

I also know that the old man can't use his real name.

But after this question was asked, the three of them fell silent.

Cui Yu looked at Xiang Ling's little uncle, then at Yang Xuan: "What's wrong?"

Cui Shu rubbed his forehead, with a look of pain on his face: "Still... no one was found."

Cui Mata was stunned.Didn't it mean that Midie Chasing Soul Incense is very powerful?

Xiang Ling explained: "This chasing soul incense is really easy to use. The dragon guards have never missed it. It has almost no flaws. The only one is that you can't touch the eggplant. The eggplant never grows in large patches. It cannot be eaten or used as medicine. Its only purpose is to make Buddha incense, not ordinary Buddha incense. It must be the thickest and heaviest kind before Bodhisattva offerings..."

And that kind of incense is generally not offered regularly, and is only lit in special seasons, so the Midie Chasing Soul Incense has no weaknesses at all.

Cui Mata narrowed his eyes: "So, Ashina Huyun entered the temple..." Ordinary temples don't offer the thickest offerings at this time, unless—"Tianze Temple!"

"Yes." Xiang Ling lowered his eyes, "Last night, I released Midie, and it circled several times in and out of Midie City, and finally flew to Tianze Temple, lost its direction, and stopped without thinking."

Apparently, Ashina Huyun was very careful. Even though he managed to escape from the imperial mausoleum, he did not let go of his vigilance. He walked around Luoyang City several times and even arrived at Tianze Temple.

Tianze Temple burned that special Buddhist incense, and the strong smell melted away the soul-chasing incense on him, so this Tianze Temple was the path where the other party deliberately diverted their eyes, whether it was the intentional direction or the final location, Long Wei didn't know.

"So that's how it is..." Cui Yu thought quietly for a while, "But no matter how cautious he is, he is still very confident. There must be his dark spots in this route. Let's investigate one by one, and we will definitely gain something!"

Cui Shu nodded: "Yes, Longwei will cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince in this matter, and the most important thing at present is you."

Cui Yu didn't understand, and pointed to his nose: "Me?"

The little uncle coughed twice: "Yesterday Concubine Tian Gui had a secret meeting with Ashi Nahu, and Xiang Ling heard something. Concubine Tian Gui... I'm afraid she's going to mess with you."

"Tian Guifei...fuck me?" Cui Yan narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure?"

Xiang Ling's eyes drooped slightly, his body leaned forward slightly, and he recounted what he heard at the time...

Immediately, Yang Xuan frowned, and snorted coldly: "She dares!"

Cui Yu was very calm, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that they want to mess with me, but in fact, it is the people behind me who are going to mess with me."

He glanced at Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan slapped the table directly: "Let her come! I dare to plot against people before I wipe my butt clean, I won't be named Yang if I don't kill her this time!!"

Cui Yu ignored the prince who exploded, and his brain quickly thought about how to deal with all this perfectly...

All of a sudden, he remembered something: "Where did Xi's mission go?"

Yang Xuan was taken aback: "I received a letter earlier, saying that I could arrive within a month, and a year ago."

"I can't wait for a month," Cui Yan narrowed his eyes, and there was a streamer shining in the bottom of his eyes, "Half a month, at most half a month, please speed up!"
