Looking at the mountains and rivers

Hearing this, Yang Dai coughed again and again. He laughed while coughing: "Third brother, you accuse me of such crimes for empty talk, it's ridiculous."

"Brother, don't you know Bu Yunzi? It is said that this wandering warlock is very famous in Jian'an area. He was invited to Prince Mu's residence a while ago, and then disappeared."

Yang Dai turned his face away, seeming to scoff at his words: "I've never heard of this person."

Yang Jue snorted coldly, and gave Zongzheng Siqing behind him a wink, and Zongzhengsi Qing Qin Yuan immediately stepped forward and handed over a volume: "His Royal Highness, Bu Yunzi was just detained last night. According to this person's confession, these were all rewarded to him by you, King Mu. Dali Temple heard that the case involved the prince, so it was handed over to Zongzheng Temple..."

Yang Dai's face changed slightly, as if he was hesitant.

"Brother must be very surprised. Why is this person still alive? He was clearly killed by your order." Yang Jue approached him, and said slowly, "You are always cautious, how could you forget that he is a warlock? Gu, also proficient in the technique of cheating death."

"Nonsense!" Yang Dai gritted his teeth and sneered, "Where did you find a charlatan, and you want to make a false accusation against me. Since you want to confront him, let's go to the palace together, before the emperor, and we will find out for ourselves."

Xie Xie, who had been silent for a long time, finally said: "The emperor has been suffering from a strange illness recently, and it was just a slight ailment a few days ago, but it has become more serious these days. It is said that he has a splitting headache and cannot get up at all."

Yang Dai looked at him coldly: "Why haven't I heard of this?"

"Brother, why bother to put on an air? You should know the emperor's strange disease the most. The person who Bu Yunzi ordered you to curse is the emperor!"

Yang Dai only felt his eyes go dark, and he smiled angrily: "What did you say?"

But Xie Gui took another step forward: "The magician has already explained everything. I heard that there are witches and puppets hidden in the palace. His majesty's birthday is written on it. We can find out whether the prince is innocent or not."

Since they wanted to search, someone must have forged this object and hid it in the mansion, how could Yang Dai not understand.These people gathered around and looked at him like a hunter looking at a beast that stepped into a trap, cold and confident.

"My dignified Prince Mu's Mansion, could it be that you search it whenever you want!" Yang Dai shouted coldly.

Hearing the soft sound of gold and iron, it was Chen Yan in military uniform who came forward, he put one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have ordered the emperor to bring the Habayashi guards here, and I hope the lord Give the last general a little bit of face, otherwise we will force us to rush in, I am afraid that both of us will lose face."

This is a high-sounding coercion, Yang Dai gritted his teeth, he was trapped in the sick bed until now, and he couldn't hold on anymore, he smiled lowly, and took two steps back: "Okay..."

"Wait!" Qi Lianyang suddenly raised his head and said, "Bu Yunzi was invited by me. I invited him to practice witchcraft. The prince doesn't know anything about it. Just take me to the hall to confront him. !"

"Qilian!" Yang Dai suddenly changed color and shouted sharply.

"Master," Qi Lianyang smiled at him, but his face was very sad, "I'm sorry for causing you great trouble."

The meaning in what he said was obviously that he was not good at doing things, and that he was hurting his master. Yang Dai couldn't help but feel great pain in his heart when he heard this.

However, the rest of the people hesitated. They came here with great fanfare, obviously not just to take down a servant of King Mu.There is no retreat in this battle, it is life and death, and no one wants to retreat so easily.

He only heard a sneer, but it was Yang Jue who said in a strange tone: "Okay, brother raises a good dog, really loyal." As he spoke, he grabbed the long knife at the attendant's waist, raised his hand and pulled out the scabbard.

Realizing what he was going to do, Yang Dai was about to burst into tears, and he said in shock: "Stop!"

However, it was too late, the blade in Yang Jue's hand had completely sank into Qi Lianyang's chest, Yang Dai rushed forward like crazy, and caught the servant's fallen body.Blood was overflowing from Qi Lianyang's mouth and nose, he looked at Yang Dai weakly, and said with difficulty: "Master, from now on... I can't protect you..."

His bright pupils finally faded to gray. Yang Dai looked into his eyes and suddenly felt that something was emptied from his body.He didn't howl or cry, but the pain in his chest was so severe that he trembled uncontrollably.When I was young, watching Balak be killed by his father was also painful.He thought that he was already strong enough to never experience this kind of pain again, but he didn't realize until now that he couldn't keep anything in the end.

Yang Jue lowered his head to look at his elder brother, and finally let out a ruthless laugh: "Brother, you would also show such pain for others, I just killed your running dog, you are so sad, but have you ever thought about how you This is how I killed my own uncle!"

Yang Dai suddenly raised his head, his eyes were blood red, and the killing intent in them made Yang Jue shudder.He was startled for a moment, and quickly restrained his timidity: "Brother, if you have any unwillingness or resentment in your heart, you can save it and taste it in the prison of Zongzheng Temple. You will eventually return the position of King Mu!" me."

The corners of Yang Dai's lips moved, and he gritted his teeth and smiled: "Third son, you are so stupid, why don't you think about it, why did Yang Jie and Yang Sui want to help you take the throne from me? It's just a puppet that can be easily manipulated, from now on, Prince Mu's Mansion will be destroyed in your hands."

It is treasonous for him to call the emperor and King Yong by their first names like this, but Yang Jue didn't care about theory, he was stung by these words, and angrily shouted to the left and right: "Take him down."

"The witch puppet who cursed the emperor was found in the mansion?" Wei Changxuan was obviously taken aback, "What did Yang Dai curse the emperor for? He has always been arrogant and disrespectful to the emperor. I think the emperor hates and fears him. The curse is also the emperor's curse on him."

Fang Ming shook his head and waved his hands to signal him to keep his voice down: "I also heard it from the front yard. Since yesterday, the mansion has been in chaos, and many people have been arrested. Now that the third son is back, although he has not been sealed yet, But it looks like he's going to inherit the throne."

"Anyway, whoever becomes King Mu has nothing to do with me," Wei Changxuan shook his head, "Although the third son is not a good person, I am impressed that he can get rid of Yang Dai."

Fang Ming scratched his head, and seemed to realize that the change of the throne had little to do with him. He looked in the direction of the room: "My lord, haven't you got up yet?"

"Well, let him sleep a little longer," Wei Changxuan hesitated, "he had a nightmare again last night."

After that day, Yang Yan still occasionally woke up in nightmares, and Wei Changxuan watched silently.He never asked Yang Yan about the content of that nightmare, but he knew that most of it was related to him, because Yang Yan would gently reach out to touch his face after waking up, as if to confirm whether he was alive.

In the afternoon, there was the sound of flapping wings outside the window. Yang Yan stood in front of the window, thinking about something, and heard a clear voice from the window: "The pigeons in this yard are fed really well."

"It's just an idler flying here, just feeding it at will."

"I received the letter earlier, which was beyond my expectation." The person outside the window paused, "Young master refused to leave the mansion two years ago, did you expect to get such a handle one day?"

Yang Yan sighed softly: "But ordinary people have weaknesses if they have fears. My elder brother is afraid of me. If I leave, he will never make such a mistake." He lowered his head and gently touched the old harp on the desk. "I just rekindle the fear in his heart when the time is right."

"Sure enough, I didn't misunderstand the young master," sighed outside the window, "But, is there any fear in the young master's heart?"

Yang Yan was startled. He recalled the nightmares that haunted him for a long time, and said with a wry smile, "Yes."

This afternoon, Yang Jue personally came to the courtyard in the northwest corner with a few entourages. He was obviously in a good mood, and he was no longer bossy to this young brother like he was a few years ago.After sitting down in the hall, he said very kindly: "Fourth brother, I heard that you have not had a good time in the mansion these few years. Now that third brother is back, you don't have to suffer anymore." To show his friendliness, he said, He also patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "I have passed down the order, and your food and clothing expenses are the same as before."

Yang Yan lowered his head slightly: "Thank you brother."

Yang Jue originally thought that he was going to ask how he escaped from southern Xinjiang, and how he overthrew Yang Dai, but he was so boring, he refused to say a word, and couldn't help but feel that it was boring.

He coughed, and said again: "Fourth brother, you didn't hate me for the things I played with you in the past, did you?"

A smile finally appeared on Yang Yan's pale face: "It's all about my childhood, how can I talk about bearing grudges."

"Yes, yes, it's all about my childhood, and I still mentioned what he did," Yang Jue was obviously satisfied with his answer, "Your grandfather will come to the capital in a few days, and I will arrange for you to meet him at that time. how?"

"Grandfather?" Yang Yan seemed to be taken aback, then nodded, "Yes, I listen to my brother."

Yang Jue was obviously worried: "Mr. Tuoba is probably quite critical of elder brother's matter, after all, he has Donghu blood in him, fourth brother, you have to tell your grandfather that he bullied you like that in the mansion, third brother It's to save you." He paused, then laughed again, "Of course, it's also to save myself."

"I understand what brother said." Yang Yan nodded slightly.

"It's good that you understand," Yang Jue patted him again, "No matter what, getting rid of Yang Dai is a good thing for you and me, right?"

"Third Brother," Yang Yan said suddenly, "Will you kill Big Brother?"

Yang Jue seemed a little surprised, he hesitated for a moment: "This depends on what the emperor and King Yong want, and other ministers... Tsk, you don't understand these things after talking about them."

Yang Yan stopped talking, his eyes stared blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Yang Jue left, Fang Ming walked in cautiously. He stuck out his tongue: "I thought the third son was scary, but I didn't expect him to be very polite to you."

Yang Yan didn't speak, just smiled lightly.

Fang Ming cleaned up the cups and cups on the table, and suddenly said: "My lord, my father is back in charge again."

"Yes, that's good." Yang Yan nodded.

After Fang Ming cleaned up, he sighed again: "My lord... I still don't understand."

Yang Yan raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"Previously, King Mu...no, the eldest son found an alchemist to use witchcraft on you. I know this, but did he really curse the emperor again?"

Yang Yan smiled: "Whether there is or not, what does it matter? When you want to put a person to death, of course the more serious the crime, the better. King Mu used witchcraft as a disaster. This is a golden opportunity. They don't talk about him. Curse the emperor, do you want to say that he cursed me, a nobody?"

Fang Ming nodded his head half-understood, and sighed again: "I just now know that practicing witchcraft in the mansion is to be executed. If I had known this, when you were given witchcraft, young master, we should go to Zongzheng The temple will file a complaint first!"

Yang Yan laughed out loud this time: "Fortunately, you didn't go. If you sue my elder brother like this, I'm afraid that your body will be decapitated by now."

Fang Ming was stunned: "Why?"

"Not to mention whether you have caught that alchemist's skills, but when I confront him in court at that time, I may immediately deny it, saying that my elder brother never harmed me, let alone that no one used witchcraft on me. "

Fang Ming's eyes widened: "Why?"

"Because big brother is holding important things in his hand, I dare not fight against him. For example, Wei Changxuan's life." Yang Yan stopped laughing when he said this, and just looked into the distance absently.

Fang Ming continued to speak in a daze, but saw that Wei Changxuan had come back from the outside, his eyes were as deep as water, and he looked straight at Yang Yan who was sitting there. Fang Ming felt that the two of them seemed to have something to say, He found an excuse and went out.

"I just met the third son outside," Wei Changxuan said seemingly casually, and sat down beside Yang Yan, "He doesn't seem to be the same as before, but I think his abilities are just like that. Will you lose to him?"

Yang Yan picked up the teacup on the table and said softly, "Big Brother didn't lose to Third Brother, he lost to himself."

"Oh?" Wei Changxuan took the cold tea in his hand, poured another warm cup and handed it to him.

"He's too arrogant, and he's narrow-minded. He doesn't say anything about offending the nobles, and he doesn't take the emperor seriously. Why doesn't he think about it? The emperor is useless. If he can play with him, he can let others play with him." Yang Yang Yan sighed, "When my father was there, he was related to the family and Donghu by marriage. Most of the officials in the court were his disciples, and he was also the guardian of the Northwest. He held the left and right guards in his hands. What a beauty. Now most of them have been defeated by the elder brother. , the rest, the third brother can't hold it anymore."

His words seemed to mean that the building above his head was about to collapse, Wei Changxuan's heart trembled: "Yexi, what are your plans?"

Yang Yan turned around and asked instead: "Wei Changxuan, what are your plans?"

"Me?" Wei Changxuan seemed to be asked, he thought for a while, "I just think we can't be trapped in this yard forever. Besides, I don't trust your third brother."

Yang Yan nodded slightly, he suddenly realized that Wei Changxuan really wanted to leave here.When he was young, Lorraine told him that they would catch larks and larks in the grassland and play in cages, but few people went to catch eagles, because eagles couldn't be locked up, and they would break open the cage even if they tried their best. Go out and fly.Maybe Wei Changxuan was an eagle, he sighed in his heart.

"Yexi," Wei Changxuan said suddenly, "Did Yang Dai threaten you with my life before?"

Yang Yan was slightly startled, but Wei Changxuan said, "I heard it outside just now."

He was startled, and when he was about to deny it, knowing that Wei Changxuan would not believe it, he could only smile: "It's all in the past."

Wei Changxuan didn't want to skip it, and asked: "The night your elder brother called you over, you stabbed yourself because of this?"

Yang Yan didn't expect him to bring up that matter, and was speechless for a while.

Seeing him like this, Wei Changxuan understood in his heart, and he said in a low voice: "At that time, I wondered what Yang Dai could use to force you to give me a knife, and I have been in and out of the mansion for the past two years. He never troubled me." He smiled wryly, "It turns out that I was not protecting you, but you were protecting me."

"Why do you mention these things," Yang Yan said softly, "I said, as long as we can live, nothing else is important."

Wei Changxuan looked at him for a long time, and finally let out a soft "hmm".

The two were silent for a while, and the warm breath of late summer came in from the window, as well as the chirping of cicadas and insects.

"Wei Changxuan." Yang Yan gently tugged at the other party's sleeve, but did not speak, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Wei Changxuan understood what he meant, he blushed a little, took Yang Yan's face in his hands, and kissed him on the lips.After the unintentional kiss that night, Yang Yan liked to be intimate with him like this. At first Wei Changxuan wanted to explain to him that it was wrong, but he couldn't say it.He carefully kissed the little boy, feeling as if his heart was being clenched tightly, and the pain was a little hot.
