Jun You Ji Fou

The pens, inkstones and teacups on the desk all fell to the ground with a "crash", thick ink was splashed amidst ear-piercing bangs, fragments splashed, and the floor was in a mess.

Chu Mingyun's eyes were ruthless, and his tightened fingers made a slight noise, "Welcome to Kaicheng," he gritted the words between his teeth, "That's a soldier of the Huns! Li Chenghua is crazy, and everyone else is also crazy, right?"

He sneered, "No wonder Li Chenghua didn't simply poison Li Yanzhen to death. It turned out that he was waiting for me to kill the king, so that he could restore his orthodoxy and sit in this position more legitimately."

"Zhou Yi has been making preparations since he received the news. It is estimated that the battle will not be long." Qin Zhao stood aside, his usually expressionless face showed faint worry, "The suppressed forces in Beijing are also commotion. After all, if Li Chenghua really came to Chang'an, there would probably be civil strife.

Chu Mingyun frowned and didn't respond.

Qin Zhao was silent for a while, then said, "Brother, too many people have died in the past two days."

"They are looking for death by themselves."

"But……"

"Do you want me to win over and appease those dignitaries for the sake of the so-called stable situation, compromise with them, take back all the edicts, keep them as they are, and let them do whatever they want as if nothing happened?" Chu Mingyun looked over, "Then I and What's the difference between Li Yanzhen?"

Qin Zhao sighed, and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, everyone outside hates you to the core. No one understands what you've done..."

"I don't need anyone to understand." Chu Mingyun cut off his words abruptly, his brows were full of coldness, "What do those people know?" He moved his eyes back to the jade seal of Chuan Guo at the corner of the case, and smiled slowly He said, "Foolish king, mediocre king, tyrant?" He stretched out his hand to grab the jade seal, and looked down, "Those corrupt officials have been accused by thousands of people for their evil deeds, why now that I kill them, the world thinks they are pitiful, Instead, you want to scold me for being tyrannical and impermanent for destroying the party members?" Lifting Yuxi with a slight wrist lift, those vicious disdains were finally suppressed into a mocking sneer, "This world—what's going on?"

Qin Zhao subconsciously wanted to rush forward to protect Yuxi, but stopped in an instant and pinned himself in place.

Chu Mingyun didn't escape this small movement. He glanced at Qin Zhao, "Why are you panicking? I haven't planned to drop it yet." Putting Yuxi back on the case, Chu Mingyun paused and asked suddenly : "How is he?"

Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then realized who he was asking, "Su Shiyu hasn't come out of the ancestral hall yet, so nothing happened, but the shadow guard reported that Lu Shi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, went to Su's residence."

Chu Mingyun's eyes moved slightly, he lowered his eyes and didn't speak again.

A jar of wine was placed heavily on the table, Du Yue pushed Su Bai on the stool and sat down, "Come on, come on, get drunk and relieve your worries!"

Su Bai looked out uncomfortably, and wanted to stand up, "Young master, why don't you find someone else."

Du Yue's eyes widened, "Why, look down on me and don't want to accompany me?"

"Of course not," Su Bai shook his head, "I can't hold alcohol, my father won't let me drink."

Du Yue smiled, pressed his shoulders and held him down again, "Then we should have a few more drinks."

"But I still have to..."

"But what?" Du Yue poured two glasses of wine involuntarily, and stuffed them into his hands, "Do you need to keep staring at the ancestral hall? What is your father afraid of? He is fierce and I will take care of it for you!"

Su Bai looked at him in embarrassment for a while, seeing that he seemed to refuse to drink, so he could only say: "That, that's fine."

Du Yue smiled with satisfaction.He didn't believe that he poured Su Bai down, and the two remaining guards at the entrance of the ancestral hall dared to stop him. Although he poured a glass of wine himself, he had already applied a layer of anti-alcoholic medicine in his wine glass, and the wine would be as good as drinking it. The white water is not bad, at most, I feel that I have been drinking a little bit.

Sure enough, after drinking two or three cups, Su Bai blushed and lay down on the table in a daze.Du Yue looked at it for a moment, then stretched out a hand and shook it in front of him, "Hey, Su Bai, what do you think it is?"

Su Bai squinted his eyes to identify carefully, then shook his head, "No, I can't see clearly..."

Du Yue put down his wine glass, got up and was about to slip away, Su Bai suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, Du Yue turned his head to look in shock, only to see that Su Bai was still drunk, but his expression seemed a little tangled and depressed for no reason, Muttering something.Du Yue heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to break his hand away, when he lowered his head, he suddenly heard Su Bai's words clearly:

"...Little Master, you... tell me, Taiwei Chu will kill the young master..."

Du Yue was taken aback, stood in astonishment for a while, and murmured: "No way, although he said that he really wants to be the emperor to guard against my cousin, doesn't he like my cousin very much? Killer..."

Su Bai didn't know if he heard his words, but he was still chattering: "What if Taiwei Chu gets angry, maybe he is still blaming Young Master in his heart, thinking that Young Master lied to him, but Young Master really didn't lie to him, I have never seen the young master treat anyone so well, how could it be fake..."

"Young Master just keeps everything in his heart, doesn't tell anyone else, obviously feels sad, and still says it's nothing, saying that if Chu Taiwei dies, it's a big deal to wait for the world to be peaceful and give him his life back..."

"What did you say?" Du Yue grabbed him, "This is what my cousin said personally? Then he... didn't he also..."

He let go of Su Bai who was looking over in a daze, covered his head and said, "If you want to say this, my cousin is not interested in the surname Chu, and the jade pendant surnamed Chu actually still keeps it. I ran to sue before... didn't I just cause trouble?"

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, Du Yue wailed, and ran out without thinking about talking to Su Bai.When he left Su's mansion, he hurried to Taiwei's mansion, completely unaware that he missed the opportunity to meet Su Shiyu.

The ancestral hall was quiet, the new leaves on the trees outside the window trembled and sounded in the wind, the breeze brushed against the edge of the window and there was a slight sound, and the shadow of the sun fell on the ground, deflecting inch by inch.

Su Shiyu knelt under the tablet silently, immersed in his thoughts for a long time, as if he didn't feel tired.

A Qingyue bird chirped, Su Shiyu blinked slowly, and turned his head slightly to look over.A slender blue-tailed bird landed on the window, and hopped a few times on the wooden window. His black eyes turned around, as if he was spying on this silent person. He looked over quietly, the The sparrow fluttered its wings, turned around and flew away suddenly, and his sight also went away, bringing the gray sky into view, then landed aimlessly, but suddenly froze.

A narrow corner of the pond can be seen through the window of the ancestral hall, and the servants have already cleaned up the pond as ordered, but in the empty green waves of the pond, there is actually a red lotus clinging to the edge of the pond and struggling to grow It may have been neglected. In the unsuitable water and soil, it bloomed ahead of schedule. It is so thin, but it can be called a half-opened lotus with its head upright.

Su Shiyu's eyes gradually cleared up, as if waking up from a vague dream, but he stared at the red lotus in a daze, unable to look away.

In the dark and cold light between the sky and the earth, that little bit of red was as bright red as blood from the heart.His eyes were almost burning.

The hand beside him trembled unconsciously, then clenched tightly. Su Shiyu closed his eyes deeply, and after a long, long time, he finally let out a wry smile.

"What's going on?" Su Yi stood in front of the ancestral hall and asked the guard on duty, "Where is Su Bai, why is he missing?"

"Young Master Du came over and dragged him away just now. They should have gone somewhere else together."

"This kid, he just knows how to play, and he keeps running around at any time." Su Yi frowned, "How is your son doing inside?"

The guard was about to answer when there was a sound of the door opening behind him. Su Yi hurriedly turned around, and finally saw the white-clothed figure standing in front of the door, "Master."

"En." Su Shiyu responded, looked into the distance and sighed, then turned to him again and said, "I've worked hard for you these few days."

"My lord, you are welcome." Su Yi took a step forward, bowed and said, "Chu Taiwei has usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and His Majesty has been imprisoned in the palace. The specific situation is still unknown. These days there are constant turmoil in Chang'an, especially in the After a few edicts were issued, all the dignitaries of the family were affected, and even beheaded..."

Su Shiyu glanced at the dark part of the courtyard, raised his hand to stop Su Yi's words, "Tell me the details in the study."

"Yes." Su Yi responded, and followed Su Shiyu to the study room. Halfway through, he suddenly asked: "Since the young master has come out, have you figured out the perplexing things?"

Su Shiyu smiled indescribably, "It should be counted."

He didn't explain clearly, but Su Yi was keenly aware of something, his expression became a little heavy, and he sighed: "This subordinate obeys orders, and shouldn't go beyond words, it's just that my son... really has never been betrayed by an affair. disturbed?"

Su Shiyu smiled softly, "The Su family has guarded the country for generations, even if they die, I can still distinguish between family and country and personal relationships."

Over there, Du Yue rushed to Taiwei's Mansion, turned over from inside to outside, but did not see Chu Mingyun or Qin Zhao, he supported his knee panting, and slapped his forehead suddenly, so he was dull Suddenly remembering that Chu Mingyun has become the emperor, those two people must be in the palace.

Du Yue held back a shadow guard who was staying in the mansion, "Can you take me into the palace to look for someone surnamed Chu?"

The shadow guard thought for a while and replied: "Subordinates have no right to make decisions. If Du Yaoshi wants to enter the palace, he must wait for his subordinates to ask the Lord for instructions."

"All right, all right," Du Yue nodded repeatedly, urging him, "Go quickly, just say it's urgent!"

The shadow guard did not procrastinate, and immediately went to the palace to report, Chu Mingyun only ordered a few words, and then he took the order and left.

When Qin Zhaoji stepped into the hall, Chu Mingyun was seriously putting together the broken jade pendant on the case. He pinched two pieces of jade and tried to fit them together. When he heard the footsteps, he said without raising his eyes: "Just now The shadow guard came over and said that Du Yue wanted to come to the palace to find us, but I didn't agree."

Qin Zhao stopped in front of him, "It may not be safe in the palace, it's fine if he's at the mansion."

His tone sounded a bit stiff, Chu Mingyun raised his eyes and looked, "What happened again?"

"There has been movement in the Su residence."

Chu Mingyun paused and put down the broken jade, "What?"

"Su Shiyu came out of the ancestral hall, but the shadow guards sent over were spotted, so he went straight into the study and couldn't be monitored." Qin Zhao looked straight at Chu Mingyun, "The shadow guards who were watching at Su's mansion didn't see him leave, but Not long ago he appeared in the side hall where Li Yanzhen was under house arrest, the shadow guards didn't come forward for fear of alarming him, I don't know what they said, but they saw Li Yanzhen crying while holding Su Shiyu's hand."

"..." Chu Mingyun frowned and said nothing.

"Brother," Qin Zhao asked, "won't you order?"

Chu Mingyun opened his mouth, and said after a while: "Be more alert to the movements of the Habayashi Army."

Qin Zhao responded, but didn't move. He waited for Chu Mingyun for a while, and then asked, "Where's Su Shiyu?"

He looked down at the shiny broken jade and remained silent.

"Brother, it would be better if he made up his mind to kill him early, so that he wouldn't be delayed to the present." After a moment of silence, Qin Zhao said again, "What about Li Yanzhen, didn't you give him an order?"

"Li Yanzhen?" Chu Mingyun repeated in a low voice, "I also want to order to kill him directly or cut off his hands, but why do you think I didn't kill him when I forced the palace? style?"

Qin Zhao shook his head, "I don't know, I'm also very strange."

Chu Mingyun relaxed his body, leaned on the table to pillow his arm, and said in a tired voice, "I'm afraid that if I do that, Shiyu will be really angry, and he really doesn't want to see me again gone."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, gritted his teeth slightly and asked him, "Aren't senior brothers afraid of ruining themselves?"

He was silent for a long time, and said softly: "...I don't know."

Qin Zhao felt that he had nothing to say, so he turned his head and left the imperial study.When he stepped out of the palace gate, he suddenly heard Chu Mingyun's voice, "Qin Zhao." In a very low voice, "I miss him."

Qin Zhao turned his head and saw that the murderous and almost cold-blooded man these days buried his face deep in his arms at this moment, unable to see his expression clearly, and he couldn't distinguish the emotion in that sentence, only It feels suffocating.

In the end, he was speechless and stretched out his hand to cover the door.
