Bastards

The heavy snow did not stop the way home. Cui Yu and his party went all the way outside Luoyang City without encountering any accidents after an assassination.

"It's finally here..."

Cui Shu stretched, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with his clothes?

He had torn off the blood-stained outer shirt long ago, and now only the white shirt was left. It was not cold, he was a young man with strong firepower, but seeing people like this...it was a bit unattractive.

He cast his dissatisfied eyes on Xiang Ling.

Isn't this annoying guy used to showing off? Now that he's dressed upside down, he didn't even think about taking off one for him to wear?

Sure enough, men don't have a good thing, so I can't ask for it anymore!

Item order: ...

Seeing the fire in his little uncle's eyes, he seemed to be unable to bear it immediately, and wanted to have a fight with Xiang Ling in this icy world...

Cui Yan almost laughed out loud, and silently lit a piece of wax for Xiang Ling in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment, Cui Shu drew out his dagger, turned around gracefully, made a beautiful gesture, raised his eyebrows and glared, and pointed the tip of the knife straight at Xiang Ling: "You want to break up the gang, okay, I will help you!" , shine the sword!"

The corners of Xiang Ling's eyes twitched: "...don't make trouble."

"What do you mean? In order to show your magnanimity, you have to let me do two tricks to make me admire you, right? Bah! I don't like this aggressive method. I don't want to be with hypocrites like you. Don't light up the weapon, okay, let's see the trick!"

While Cui Shu was talking, he jumped and rushed towards Xiang Ling.

Xiang Ling had no choice but to draw his sword to block his knife, then hold his wrist and wrap his arms around his waist...

"Don't make trouble."

Xiang Ling is formidable, he is a leader in the Yazi Department, and Cui Shu is not far behind. If you can't beat Xiang Ling, you can't be subdued with one or two moves, so the capture process of Xiang Ling...is really a bit embarrassing.

Just after catching the prey, the prey seemed to be oiled on the soles of the feet, and it was like a flexible cat. It swung out after just touching it and turning it.He continued to arrest, and continued the process...

In the end, when Xiang Ling tightly held Cui Shu in his arms, Cui Shu was so tired that he almost stuck out his tongue.

Panting from exhaustion, he could still speak harshly: "Although I can't beat you, I will always be brave and never admit defeat! Kill prisoners if you have the ability!"

Item order: ...

"Hahahaha——" Cui Yu finally couldn't help laughing wildly, "It was the little uncle just now, you wanted to eat melon seeds, and you thought Xiang Ling was troublesome, so you didn't ask for his clothes, not only didn't you want them, but you even threw them in the snow Already!"

I said that it would be easy to operate and unfettered, but when I finished eating the melon seeds, I forgot about it, little uncle, are you as big as a walnut kernel?

Cui Shu tilted his head and thought for a while, as if... is there such a thing?

He blinked, and forced a dry smile into Shang Xiangling's eyes.

This is awkward...

Xiang Ling seemed to be used to it, he didn't even sigh, and calmly asked the person in his arms, "Have you played enough?"

Cui Shu nodded.

Xiang Ling let him go.

Cui Shu jumped in front of Cui Yu, fingered his chin, and looked away: "Well, seeing that the city gate is here and safe, I feel a little relaxed. It's cold, and I want to exercise my muscles..."

"Okay, don't make excuses," Cui Yan said with a smile of 'I've seen through everything', "After entering the city, there will be no accidents, I will find Yang Xuan by myself, and let you and Xiang Ling go to the 'activities' .”

The word "activity" is accented, making it particularly ambiguous.

Cui Shu understood it, and came over to Cui Yu with red ears and grinding his teeth: "How old are you, dare to talk nonsense? You are not allowed to learn those nonsense things from the prince, do you know!"

His beautiful nephew is always soft, waxy and cute. He must not be spoiled by that Xiong Taizi!

Speaking of the prince, Cui Yu's eyes were filled with tenderness, he looked at the lights in the city from a distance, and sighed softly.

"I don't know if he can have a late-night snack together after he's busy."

……

In Huangzhuang, Prince Chang died, and Emperor Taikang's people successfully stopped Tian's and Yue's quarrel. Naturally, Tian's family had to follow Taikang Emperor's wishes and cut off the tendons of his limbs.

"No...don't do that to me...I don't believe it..."

Tian's eyes were terrified, his body was trembling badly, and he wanted to run out, but the road was blocked, and he wanted to call for help, but the imperial guards had already surrounded him.

Eunuch Gao acted very quickly. No matter how Tian Shi struggled, begged for mercy, or resisted, he never softened his heart. He watched the palace servants hold Tian Shi up and cut off her tendons before he waved his hand. Turn out of the room and go back to talk to Emperor Taikang.

"Ah... help..."

Tian was in so much pain that he couldn't even call for help.

She regretted it.

She shouldn't be impulsive.

What can't be solved slowly?Why do you have to make trouble with Prince Yue at this point?Not only did he not get the brand, but he also suffered a crime.

She shouldn't have assigned more than half of her people to intercept Cui Yu, she hated Cui Yu, and hated the prince even more, but right now, the most important thing was herself, and she couldn't bear the slightest mistake.If those people hadn't been sent out, they would all have helped her deal with Prince Yue... It wouldn't have been so late at all, she had already snatched the sign and killed Prince Yue, perhaps at this moment, she had successfully escaped from Huangzhuang...

Why... why did God treat her like this!

She just thought better...

Tian was lying on the ground weakly, feeling the intense pain from her hands and feet, let alone walking, now she found it difficult to move.

This time, she really failed completely, and there was no chance to do it again.

Ignoring both eyes, looking at the heavy snow outside the window with dull eyes, Tian is very clear about this fact.

……

The pain of breaking the tendons in the hands and feet was unspeakable, but in the quiet snowy night, Tian's screams were so clear that the whole Huangzhuang seemed to be able to hear it.

Prince Yue, he also heard it.

But his expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear it.

The side concubine Zhuang Shu looked carefully at his face: "Your Highness, your empress..."

"What kind of empress is there! There is no such person as Tian in this palace! She is not my mother, and you are not allowed to mention it again in the future!"

"Yes." Zhuang Shu quickly responded, and carefully helped him take off his coat, "I'll make a cup of hot tea for Your Highness."

After Zhuang Shu left, Prince Yue couldn't sit up, so he stood up with his hands behind his back, and walked around the room.

He was in a hurry, very, very urgent.

He needs to make a decision right away.

Continue to be his prince well, or...hold on to that power and fight with all your might!

He didn't know how to operate the brand he had snatched from Prince Chang, but it was obvious that it had a time limit.Someone sent a sign to Prince Chang, and the time arranged was at night, and it was already night.The death of Prince Chang, such a big event, will be known in an instant, the other party's arrangement, I don't know if it will still work, will it be cancelled?

The monk Huizhi is now alive or dead, but with the methods of the crown prince and the help of Tong Xiu, the imperial guard, he probably won't be able to escape, but will he recruit these things, will the power represented by this brand be copied in an instant? Become useless waste?

When he killed Prince Chang, he thought very well. With the brand, everything is possible. Thinking about it now, there are many hidden dangers and problems.If you really want to, you have to take a risk, and take over immediately when the opponent's person is still waiting in the dark and this power has not been destroyed!

If he continues to hesitate, he will miss it, and he can only continue to be the eldest prince.

Before, he was the crown prince in everyone's eyes, a unique choice. Now that the prince is back, his reputation is getting higher and higher, almost dragging him into the mud. Birth mother, where is the chance?

He was very unwilling, and there was anger gushing in his chest.

He hated Emperor Taikang, the Tian family, Prince Chang, and the crown prince. There was no one who didn't hate him, but he didn't know who he should hate the most.

From the moment he was sensible until now, his whole life has been preparing to be the next emperor. If he can't do it in the end, what is he still doing alive?

What is the meaning of his life?

The prince Yue walked faster and faster, his breathing became more and more rapid, his eyes became sharper and brighter.

He has decided!

Whichever path is the most promising, go there!

The prince is here, suppressing him to death, this road, I am afraid that hope will be cut off, even if there is a chance, he will have to lie dormant and endure for several years.But he couldn't wait.

Why not do it now!

Taking advantage of the chaos, he quietly set up a fake scene of captivity, and slipped out with a sign... If he can get that power and confirm that there is no problem, he will directly reverse it. If not... he can still come back and make up some reasons , Just mess around a bit in embarrassment.

He looks so much like Emperor Taikang, he looks like his own father and son, Emperor Taikang can't tolerate Prince Chang, but he will definitely not let him go!

Make a decision, turn your mind, and an idea that has the best of both worlds comes out.

Prince Yue stopped in his tracks, closed his eyes slightly, his fingertips kept trembling, thinking about things, checking for omissions...

Soon, the plan is complete.

Zhuang Shu came over with hot tea, pulled the sleeves, and handed it over in a dignified manner: "Your Highness, please use tea..."

But Prince Yue grabbed her hand: "Go and pack your things, follow me!"

He exerted great strength and his eyes were strangely sharp. Zhuang Shu was startled, the teacup fell down and the tea spilled on the ground.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing her a little scared, Prince Yue knew that he was in a hurry.

He closed his eyes, spoke as slowly as possible, and his voice was as gentle as possible: "I know you are good to me, so I want to leave and give you a chance to choose. Do you want to be with me?"

Zhuang Shu is so smart, a prince said that he wants to leave, it's nothing more than ordinary times, but if he said it at this time, he was going against it!

Prince Yue's words sound nice, give her a choice, but can she choose?I'm afraid that if you show a little expression, you will be silenced!

Zhuang Shu obediently leaned into the arms of Prince Yue: "Wherever Your Highness goes, I will go wherever... This concubine will never leave His Highness for half a step in her whole life!"

"You really are a good person..." Prince Yue laughed out loud, very carefree.He stroked Zhuang Shu's hair, and said in a warm voice, "Time is a bit urgent, you go and pack a few things with you immediately, and go with me!"

Zhuang Shu also smiled: "Okay, I will come back as soon as I go, and I will definitely not keep His Highness waiting for a long time!"

Jogging all the way out of the room, Zhuang Shu's heartbeat was still beating like a drum, and she was quite frightened.

Right now, she has two choices in front of her.

Go with Prince Yue, or not.

Go with Prince Yue, just to pack some things, if you don't follow... Since the day she worked for the prince, the prince has given her protection, and there is a way to ask for help in times of crisis.

No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, even if you are going to die for a serious crime, as long as you can get through without being killed on the spot, and you get to a place where there is no one, you can ask for help.

She just lied to Prince Yue, now it's up to her to decide whether to go or not...

If you leave now, you will not get involved in anything. If you successfully stay away from this palace, the prince will remember the past, reward her for her merits, and let her live a good life in anonymity.

If she doesn't leave, she can make a great contribution if she works hard.Prince Yue seemed to want to rebel, so she quietly inquired about some news and sent it to the prince... If you protect your life well, in the future, it will be a great contribution.

She doesn't need to hide her name, and maybe she can ask for a special name with the prince, so that even if she remarries in the future, her waist will not be low, and her husband's family will not look down on her too lightly.

If the guard is still willing to be with her, he doesn't have to give up his pursuit of ideals and spend his days in the countryside incognito. He can continue to struggle in his current position and create a sky and a future.

Zhuang Shu is a smart person, and she made up her mind fiercely. After a while, she made a decision.

She wants to fight big!

Her life has been coaxed and deceived in the years of ignorance, and her life is a mess. Next, she has to live better on her own!Live only for yourself!

And that person...

If she is lucky enough not to die this time, she will repay her kindness.

The heavy snow was blown onto the verandah by the wind, making it bone-chillingly cold.

Zhuang Shu stroked her temple hair, smiled and lifted the corner of her skirt, walked briskly into the room, and went to pack her things.

……

Prince Yue hastily set up the 'captive' scene, not daring to bring too many people, even his confidant eunuchs were left behind, he only brought Zhuang Shu and two death guards, wrapped his clothes tightly, and walked into the heavy snow.

After a series of accidents, the imperial guards were very strict, but the Huangzhuang was too big and the night snow was too dense. In order to protect the safety of the emperor, the most refined and tightest part of the force was naturally near the Taikang Emperor's palace. There won't be so many guards.

If I was a little more careful and prudent, coupled with the secret sentinels arranged in advance, and walked out quietly, the problem really wasn't that big of a deal.

Prince Yue and his party went smoothly.

Next, is to climb the mountain.

The side door of the Huangzhuang gate, at this point in time, can't get out. The only thing that can be challenged is the mountain behind.

Prince Yue felt that the route that Prince Chang had arranged to take must be here as well.

The mountain is very high and difficult to climb. If there is no support, it is a narrow escape. Most people would not want to do this.But this is the only opening that doesn't have too many guards, and it's best for people to hide...

Prince Yue thought about it, but there is no other possibility except here.

If there is anyone who can support Prince Chang, they must be here!

Turning her head to look at her side concubine, her face turned pale, she must have been frightened.

In fact, he was also a little worried, everything has its own value, what if he didn't guess right, or the person had already left?

But seeing Zhuang Shu's appearance, he came back confidently: "But just walk a little mountain road, are you afraid?"

Zhuang Shu bit her lower lip with her teeth: "Concubine... I am not afraid..."

"It's okay, it's okay to be afraid, but I promise, you won't be tired. You only need to walk for a while, and you will see the person who picks me up..."

This time, Prince Yue was very lucky.

Not only did he slip out of Huangzhuang smoothly, but there was really someone on the mountainside halfway up the mountain to take care of Prince Chang.

The leader was a scarred face, with a ferocious face and a domineering aura. He was obviously the core figure of the team. When he spoke, others didn't dare to intervene, and he opened his mouth to flatter him.

"It's freezing cold here, Brother Liang, you've worked hard! Come on, brother, there's a burning knife here, Brother Liang, do you want to show me your face?"

Wu Liang with a scarred face kicked the man's ass: "Stop his mother's flamboyance, and let me keep an eye on it, the business is important!"

"Hey, with Brother Liang here, how can we use the younger ones to show off? The younger ones just come out to fight the autumn wind and follow Brother Liang to play tricks. Don't worry, Brother Liang, our pair of recruits are doing well, I guarantee you will be on the lookout." That's right, to prevent a mosquito from flying out, brother Liang's work is well done!"

Wu Liang laughed: "You mother is illiterate, at least look at the sky, it's snowing like goose feathers, and there are still mosquitoes? Did you do it?"

This person was not afraid of being ridiculed, and continued to grin: "Who doesn't know that brother Liang is the smartest? You can make our general look at you differently, and the military adviser is particularly trustworthy. You are the only one who trusts you! Your loyalty, your respect It’s a perfect observation! Not to mention, if Brother Liang wants to let the little one get mosquitoes, the little one will find a female mosquito every day, and maybe the one that will be born will be a shrewd one, the only smart mosquito in the world. !"

While holding Wu Liang in his arms, the man stretched out his thumb: "One day, pointing out small things, not many, just a few words, is enough for my little brother to be successful!"

Just as he was talking, Wu Liang's ears moved: "Shut up! Someone is here."

It was Prince Yue and his party who came.

The prince Yue is not good at martial arts, saying that the three-legged cat is flattering him, and this journey is very difficult.Not to mention Zhuang Shu, she is a female family member. It was in the middle of the night, the wind was bitterly cold, and her vision was not good. She was able to bear it. It is a miracle that she has come so far.

The people hiding on the mountain looked at this group of people, and they were all silent for a while before someone scolded their mothers.

"Fuck! How can this bald donkey's son be so capable, and he comes out at night with a woman?"

"It's really easy for us, you silly boy!"

"And this age, isn't it a little bit older? Didn't the old bald donkey say that he's not yet twenty?"

"Maybe he has a long face."

These people just received a secret order suddenly and came to meet them as planned. At this moment, the agreed time was a little earlier, but not too early.None of them knew who Huizhi's son was, but they came out at the right time...they didn't have much doubt.

But Wu Liang was steady, the scar on his face trembled, and he raised his hand to stop people from talking: "Don't worry, wait a little longer, check the brand before we talk."

The more the prince walked away, the more empty his heart became, he could hardly hold on anymore, why is there no one?

Could it be that he was thinking all wrong?People are not here?

But apart from here, there is really no other place to cooperate...

Walking with one deep foot and one shallow foot, snowflakes fell on his head, and his feet sank deeply into the snow. Prince Yue accidentally stepped on the wrong place and staggered.

"what--"

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Several people went to help at the same time, but they didn't stop Prince Yue from throwing himself down. Prince Yue fell hard.

Because the speed was too fast and the momentum was too strong, the gold inlaid jade plaque in his arms rushed out of his clothes at this moment and was thrown into the distance heavily.

"Brand—my brand!"

Prince Yue's eyes turned red immediately, and he ran over after struggling.If you can't run fast, your hands touch the ground, which turns into crawling, and you have to crawl over it.

That brand is the last trump card in his last stand, and he must not lose it!

The night sky was silent, without stars or moon, but fortunately, the snow was extremely white, and the quality of the brand was good enough, exuding radiance.

When Prince Yue saw the sign, his face was glowing red, and he was about to reach for it——

But the sign was picked up to the tip of the knife by one person and took it.

Seeing the sign appear, Wu Liang jumped out. The tip of the knife for picking the sign was naturally his too.

At this moment, Prince Yue was lying on his stomach, and Wu Liang was standing. Prince Yue was in a mess, his eyes were red, and the tip of his nose was still covered with snow, while Wu Liang was refreshed.

Wu Liang frowned, this is what they want to respond to, Huizhi's son?Is it a little too stupid?

Prince Yue's eyes were bright, and his heart was beating wildly. That's right, this person must have come to meet Prince Chang... No, to meet him!

Prince Yue is also a character, quite quick-witted, although he is embarrassed, there is no embarrassment on his face.

He slowly got up from the ground calmly, and tidied up his clothes in the mood.

Then, he said: "You, you belong to me. My father left it to me."

His demeanor was a little arrogant, a little bland, and more confident, like a master.

Zhuang Shu, who pieced together the whole truth back and forth, almost vomited.

This man is so shameless!

Scolding Huizhi, Prince Chang, and Tian's family is like scolding, but now they are talking about each other, calling them straightforward and pretending to be bright, they are really capable!

Prince Yue was actually trying to hold on to his momentum.

He was a little empty.

Prince Chang looks like Tian's, not quite like Huizhi, but he doesn't look like Tian's, nor does he look like Huizhi, he was carved out of the same mold as Emperor Taikang!As long as the person in front of him has a little knowledge, he may be cheated!

He only hoped that the snow would blind his eyes and the wind would make him confused, so that this person would not be able to see clearly, so he would recognize him in a daze.

Just recognize it now, and it will be easy to handle later.

People don't want to do things that are self-defeating.Even if you find out later that you made a mistake, you still have to bite the bullet and continue!Anyway, Prince Chang is dead too, apart from him, they can't find anyone more suitable to cooperate with...

Wu Liang actually didn't care who came.

According to his own general, as long as there is a brand, he will recognize it, regardless of whether it is true or not, and what thoughts he has.It's better if it's a stupid one, it's easy to control.

They just want to rebel and find a suitable partner. The situation requires a "son of wisdom", so they just borrow one and use it. They don't really want to bring out a master.

Both sides have their own ghosts, so this cooperation will definitely be happy.

Wu Liang put the brand in his arms and grinned, the scar on his face became more obvious.

The next moment, he knelt down on one knee: "The villain came late to greet you, the young master has worked hard."

The etiquette is in place, and the words are also very correct, but when you look at it carefully, it doesn't mean anything.

Not respectful enough, not humble enough, even showing a bit of banter, a bit of contempt.

It's a pity that Prince Yue was so dazzled by the ecstasy that he didn't notice it at all.

The author has something to say: Prince Yue: Humph, everyone is looking forward to the baby's death, so the baby won't be taken care of easily! ╭(╯^╰)╮

Prince Chang: You still scold the baby for being too casual, a bitch, calling someone as soon as you open your mouth, you are not the same!Another cute thing, although I have already received the lunch box, but everyone must remember the baby, eh~~(づ￣3￣)づ

Huizhi: I heard that the poor monk has grown taller again? (￣_￣)
