Jun You Ji Fou

In the tenth year of Yonghe period, in the second month of spring, the ninth prince of the Xiongnu, Yuwen Falcon, attacked the king's tent at night, killed his father and usurped the throne, and became the Great Khan.

When the news reached Chang'an, Chu Mingyun sneered and said, "You can actually make a waste a Khan. Is the Huns at the end of their rope?" He didn't take it seriously.

At the same time, Yue Yuxuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also received the news, tidied up a bit, and entered the palace.

In the imperial study room, Li Yanzhen was scrutinizing the wooden sculpture of a woman, and casually asked Yue Yuxuan to put the documents on the table, and even Yu Guang didn't have the time to sort them out.

The woodcarving has been perfected, her figure is perfect, her long hair is embroidered on a shirt, her hands are as slender as jade, although she still lacks her face, she can be predicted to be an extremely beautiful woman.

"Your Majesty, haven't you figured out what she looks like?" Yue Yuxuan also looked at the wood carving.

"Yeah, I always feel that I need to think carefully." Li Yanzhen looked at the statue with gentle eyes, almost nostalgic, "Occasionally, I have a vague feeling that I am about to think of her appearance, but I can't remember clearly after thinking about it. "

Yue Yuxuan couldn't help sighing, "It's a pity."

"What a pity?" Li Yanzhen wondered, but her eyes still did not move away from the statue.

"It's nothing, I just lament that Your Majesty is so ingenious. If you are a craftsman, you must be the best in the world." Yue Yuxuan smiled, "I am just thinking wildly."

"If it's a craftsman?" Li Yanzhen couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, "I really had such an idea. When I first became the crown prince, I was forced to learn many things all day long, and within a few years, I had to make up for what the brothers had read since childhood." I was very tired, so I couldn't help complaining to Su Aiqing, who was my attendant, that it would be great if I could go out of the palace and become a carpenter, but being an emperor is really tiring and boring."

Yue Yuxuan smiled approvingly, seeing that he was fascinated by memories, he quietly approached him, stretched out his hand and brushed over the teacup on the table, the white powder fell into the tea finely, dissolving in the water without a trace .

Li Yanzhen didn't realize it, but she was still thinking about it slowly, with a smile on her face, "It's just that I didn't expect that the palace woman who was close to me would tell this to others, and then it would reach the ears of my father, who was furious and punished me." Su Aiqing and I were confined to copy books in the East Palace. That night was New Year's Eve, and Su Aiqing was imprisoned by me and couldn't go back to the house. I felt so guilty that I couldn't speak, but instead of being annoyed, he comforted me, as if I was born not to be angry. I read the book in the middle of the night, my wrist was sore, and I couldn’t stop being tired. Su Aiqing asked me to rest for a while. After agreeing to have a cup of tea, he asked me to get up and continue copying. As a result, when I woke up, the sky was already bright, yes He copied the rest of me, and even tidied up the table."

Li Yanzhen paused for a moment before continuing: "At that time, when I saw Su Aiqing falling asleep on the table, I couldn't help but think that he was probably the only person who was kind to me besides my concubine."

"No wonder Your Majesty loves Lord Su so much." Yue Yuxuan had already returned to his original position, looking respectful.

Li Yanzhen finally turned around, took a few sips of tea, and said with a smile: "In my heart, Su Aiqing is just like my elder brother."

Yue Yuxuan watched Li Yanzhen drink the tea, he didn't stay any longer, and left.He estimated in his mind the time when the effect of the medicine would take effect, and he just walked out of Miyagi, looking around, he saw Chun and Jingming everywhere, and he laughed.

The precarious authority of Da Xia is finally about to collapse completely.

It's just a pity that the wooden sculpture will faceless forever.

"Brother, there is an urgent message from the Imperial Army that Li Yanzhen has been poisoned and passed out." Qin Zhao walked into the study quickly.

"Poisoning again?" Chu Mingyun frowned slightly, "Who did it this time?"

"Yue Yuxuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is the most suspected. He and Li Yanzhen were the only ones in the imperial study at that time. After the accident, he was nowhere to be seen in the mansion and the Ministry of Industry. He may have escaped." Qin Zhao said, "Su Shiyu has ordered the city gates to be closed. The city is looking for him."

At this time, the maid knocked on the door outside and said, "My lord, someone from the palace wants to invite Yaoshi Du to come over."

Qin Zhao looked at Chu Mingyun.

Chu Mingyun rested his chin with one hand, his eyes darkened, "Tell them that Du Yue has returned to Cangwu Mountain and is not here."

"Brother?" Qin Zhao was taken aback for a moment.

"You don't want to lie to that idiot, just send him away quickly so that Du Yue doesn't know anything." Chu Mingyun raised his eyes to look at him, "You understand what I mean."

"Yes." Qin Zhao turned his head to leave, but couldn't help but pause, and asked, "Do you want to do it again?"

Chu Mingyun laughed, but did not answer, but said: "Let the commander of the imperial army come to see me."

That night.The search all over the city during the day made Chang'an panic-stricken, and at night they closed their doors tightly and went to rest early, for fear of causing trouble.However, a carriage slowly drove out of a dark alley and headed towards the city gate.

The imperial army sealed off the whole city, and the gates of the city were guarded by heavy soldiers, and they immediately stopped the car.

"What's going on? I don't know if the city is closed, go back!"

The man immediately came down quickly, "Hey, sir, you are accommodating, these are some common goods, if it's convenient for you, just let us go."

The guard flashed his halberd, "There is an order from above, the whole city is sealed off, no one is allowed to leave the city, merchants are no exception, go back!"

"Oh, this..."

"What's the matter?" The commander of the imperial army was attracted by the noise here, and walked over.

The guard withdrew his weapon, "Commander, this car went out of the city against the order and refused to go back."

"My lord is very aware that I have signed a contract with someone, and I will pay you money one day later!" The man saw that his status is not low, he nodded and bent forward, took out the money and stuffed it, "I know you It's not easy to do business, so I didn't dare to come during the day and wait until midnight, isn't it for your sake? You see, with only this car, I dare not be lucky!"

The commander weighed the silver in his hands, feeling a bit embarrassed, "But I'm receiving an order from Doctor Yu Shi, it's really..."

"I know!" The man stuffed a few more taels, turned around and pointed to the cargo box on the car, "You follow the rules, of course you have to cooperate, you go and check, just check!"

The commander smiled with satisfaction, and while putting away the silver, he ordered: "Go and search carefully!"

The guards stepped forward to open the cargo boxes one by one, and there were some silk and cloth.The man rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Then, do you see, my lord?"

The commander nodded and waved his hand, "Let go!"

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, I wish you an early promotion and prosperity!"

The carriage drove out of the city and disappeared into the vast night.The commander withdrew his gaze and winked at the subordinate officer beside him.

With the sound of horseshoes on the official road, the car gradually slowed down and finally stopped.The man hurriedly dismounted and turned to the back, moved the cargo box to the ground, stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the wall of the car was pulled away, revealing a space separated inside.Someone got up and walked out, adjusted his clothes unhurriedly, waved to the man, the man bowed and saluted, and drove away again.

Yue Yuxuan looked at the sky and walked towards the agreed ferry.

The night is thick, the shadows of the trees are dark, and the branches cut across the moonlight. There are unknown birdsong in the forest, revealing a different kind of eerie.Suddenly there was a thin sound, like the sound of wind brushing against the leaves, Yue Yuxuan paused, and listened with his ears, there was no abnormality, he stepped forward, the sound suddenly rose, urgent and dense in all directions, it seemed far but near.

Yue Yuxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked around in a hurry, "Who? You are here to meet me, why don't you come out? You are..."

A sharp light flashed around him almost at the same time, and his whole body was icy cold in the blink of an eye. Several men in black surrounded him, and their long swords pointed directly at the vital parts of his body.

"You..." Yue Yuxuan's voice trembled, "You are not the ones who take care of me, who are you?!"

The man in black was like a sculpture, silent.

And there was a laughing voice behind him, and he said slowly: "Why are you so scared, where did your courage go when you poisoned it?"

The familiar voice exploded in Yue Yuxuan's mind. He wanted to look back, but he couldn't move.

"Okay, let him turn around."

The man in black withdrew his sword, and Yue Yuxuan turned around stiffly. In the shadow of the broken moon, the young man had a cold smile on his lips, and the lotus pattern on his clothes was like blood.

With just one glance, Yue Yuxuan rushed to the side with all his might, and with a bang, fireworks rose into the sky and exploded. He held up a firework signal, panting uncontrollably.

The shadow guards clenched their swords and looked around vigilantly.

For a long while, there was no movement.

Chu Mingyun looked at him with great interest, and smiled, "Did you set off fireworks for me?"

"How could it be..." Yue Yuxuan looked in the direction of the ferry in disbelief, and then several long swords were put on his neck, cutting bloodstains, forcing him to kneel down.Yue Yuxuan's expression froze, until Chu Mingyun walked in front of him, he suddenly laughed aloud: "Understood, I understand, two Ministers of the Ministry of Industry, two abandoned sons, good, good, die cleanly, so you don't have to deal with it! "

"So happy, why don't you talk to me?" Chu Mingyun said with a half-smile.

"What is there to talk about with a vicious person like you?" He tore off his modest face, and his heart was completely relieved.

Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, and Su Bai raised his finger lightly, "Left foot."

The shadow guard slashed down with a sword in response, blood spattered everywhere, Yue Yuxuan suddenly convulsed and screamed, startled the forest bird, he was trembling violently, staring at the person in front of him with cold sweat all over his face.

Chu Mingyun curled the corners of his lips and said, "Li Chenghua has no more soldiers to use, why did he ask you to poison him?"

With a hoarse voice, Yue Yuxuan asked sarcastically, "Tell you...you can...let me go?"

"No," Chu Mingyun said, "but it can make you die more quickly."

"Hahaha," Yue Yuxuan laughed loudly, "What are you afraid of, if you want to achieve great things, someone must sacrifice!"

"Daye?" Chu Mingyun looked at him contemptuously.

"Why is it not a great cause?" Yue Yuxuan raised his head and looked straight into his eyes, "This imperial court has been able to survive until now, but it is only because of you and Su Shiyu. The former doctor Yushi was impeccable, but now Su Shiyu has a weakness— —”

The voice stopped abruptly and was strangled in the throat.

Chu Mingyun pinched his neck with one hand, his face turned cold, and he leaned slightly and said, "What about Su Shiyu?"

He tightened his grip little by little, Yue Yuxuan blushed and was having difficulty breathing, but smiled at him provocatively and stopped talking.

When he tightened his fingers, he could almost hear the crackling sound in his throat, Chu Mingyun let go suddenly and threw Yue Yuxuan away, and straightened up expressionlessly.

Yue Yuxuan held his throat and coughed heart-piercingly, his eyes were red, he slowed down, and laughed loudly, his voice hoarse and changed his tone, and continued the previous words: "...As for you, hahaha, it won't take long. I'm going to hell!" He suddenly threw himself on the sword of the shadow guard beside him, his head rolled off, blood splashed instantly, and splashed on the corner of Chu Mingyun's clothes, with a strong smell.

Chu Mingyun looked down at the corpse on the ground with a gloomy expression on his face.

The cold moon in the sky is silent, and the shadows of the trees in the forest are whirling.

"Go and inform Zhou Yi to lead troops into Beijing." Chu Mingyun said suddenly.

When Li Yanzhen fell into a coma due to poisoning by Jiang Yuan, the [-] elite soldiers he wanted to come are still stationed near Chang'an, and the leader is Zhou Yi.

"Senior Brother," Qin Zhao couldn't help but say, "As you suspected, the King of Xiling may have another purpose. He really wants to..."

"Do I need to be afraid of him?" Chu Mingyun's voice was stern, "Even if Li Chenghua wants to be an oriole beyond his control, will I be a praying mantis catching a cicada?"

Qin Zhao lowered his eyes, "Yes."

"Also," Chu Mingyun said in a slightly slower tone, "there is one more important thing."

"My lord, Yue Shangshu's body was found not far from the ferry outside the city this morning. His death condition was terrible and his head was in a different place, but no other traces were found." Su Yi reported back.

Su Shiyu nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "How is your Majesty doing?"

"I can't do anything, the imperial doctors have exhausted their methods, but there is no sign of waking up." Su Yi said, "The palace sent someone to the Taiwei's Mansion to invite Young Master Du, and they said that the young master has returned to Cangwu Mountain, and they are going to send Should someone tell him to come back?"

Su Shiyu frowned slightly when he heard the words, but didn't answer for a while.If Du Yue left Chang'an, he would definitely come to him to say goodbye before leaving, and he wouldn't just leave so quietly.The truth of the words is already clear in my heart.

"The prescription Du Yue used last time should still be kept in the palace, let the imperial physicians study it again and do your best." Su Shiyu said.

Su Yi was about to take orders when there was a sudden knock on the study door, Su Bai rushed in without waiting for permission, glanced at his father hastily, and opened his mouth to Su Shiyu: "Young Master, the Tai-Taiwei's Mansion would like to invite you to come over !"

Su Shiyu was startled, and then responded flatly: "Well, let's prepare the car."

"Wait a minute, my lord," Su Yi stopped him, "At this time, Taiwei Chu suddenly invites you, I'm afraid it's because of bad intentions."

Su Shiyu's eyes were deep, and he smiled faintly, "If you don't go and see him, how will you know what he's doing?"

"The young master should also think about his own safety, don't go so rashly, this subordinate will order someone to come with you."

Su Shiyu shook his head, "No need."

"My lord, please listen to my subordinates, this..."

Su Shiyu's eyes suddenly passed Su Yi and looked out of the window. Not far away, the bitang pond looked decayed. The remnants of the lotus were curled up and full of withered yellow, and the stalks were crooked and crooked. He looked dying. He asked: "Isn't it already spring?"

Su Yi turned around and looked in surprise. I don't know why the young master mentioned this, but he also replied: "Yes, I invited someone to come to see it. It is said that the water and soil in the pond were greatly changed when my wife planted those exotic flowers and plants. It is not suitable for me. Red lotus, it's good to grow for a while after being transplanted, I'm afraid it will be difficult this year."

Something seemed to sink silently into his eyes, Su Shiyu was silent for a while, then smiled softly, "It's just a hard life, let someone clean it up."

"Do you want to plant the flowers that Madam raised before?" Su Bai couldn't help asking.

"No need," Su Shiyu sighed softly, and walked out, "Leave it empty."
