If you wear it fast, you will return the scum

In the end, Nangong Chi still couldn't bear to pinch it down.

His fear of Shen Changge was true, and he believed in the so-called omen in the dream, but his feelings for Shen Changge were also true, and he really couldn't kill his lover without changing his face.

At least not now.

Shen Changge didn't know that his position in Nangong Chi's heart had plummeted, and he was still trying his best to find out the reason for the new emperor's abnormality.

But at the same time another incident happened, which caused an uproar in the capital.

Cheng was assassinated.

The prime minister, Xu Shengyuan, is fifty years old and served the late emperor.He was once framed by a villain, and later rehabilitated by the new emperor, so he has always been grateful to the new emperor.At his age, he is actually not suitable for running around the court all day long, but he is honest and upright, he does everything by himself, and he is not at all pedantic and rigid. From time to time, he can propose practical and feasible policies for governing the country when the new emperor is in a state of desperation.So Nangong Chi has always attached great importance to him.

If General Shen is the best military general in Zhou State, then Prime Minister Xu is the best civil servant in Zhou State.One piece of literature and one weapon complement each other, and they are Nangongchi's right-hand man.

Just as Nangong Chi gradually lost his trust in Shen Changge, the other arm was also damaged.

It is said that the knife that the assassin used to assassinate Prime Minister Xu was poisoned. Poor Prime Minister Xu had to suffer such a catastrophe at an advanced age. Although the imperial doctor cleaned his wound in time, the residual poison still made Prime Minister Xu fall into a coma.

When the assassin was caught, he had committed suicide, apparently well prepared.

When Cheng was assassinated, the new emperor was furious and went to see the assassin's body in person.

It was the first time for Wu Zuo to meet Sheng Yan, and he was trembling for fear of offending him. "Your Majesty, the assassin committed suicide. Judging from the wound, the murder weapon should be a dagger." He was afraid that the description would not be clear, so he gestured to Nangong Chi, "The murder weapon is about one foot two to cause such a wound, and it should be It is the kind of short knife that cuts iron like mud, which is extremely rare."

"Where's the murder weapon?" Nangong Chi asked.

"Back to the emperor, the murder weapon is missing, and I searched the entire mansion but couldn't find it." The servant of the prime minister's mansion replied respectfully.

"Continue to investigate." After listening to Wu Zuo's words, Nangong Chi already had some calculations in his heart.But he still gave orders like this before turning around and leaving.

If all this is a coincidence, then it is too coincidental.He had seen quite a few short knives that cut iron like mud, one of which was given to him by the late emperor when he was still alive, and he gave it to Shen Changge as a token of his affection.At this sensitive time, he had to think about him. After all, if it was him, it would be too easy to do these tricks by his side.

Nangong Chi pretended to go back to the palace in a sedan chair, but the one who got into the sedan chair was only a palace servant wearing his clothes.At the same time, Nangong Chi got into an unpretentious carriage.Immediately afterwards, a person rushed into the carriage, lifted the curtain, knelt in front of Nangong Chi, and said in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty, my servant."

This person is his personal eunuch and one of his confidantes, Su Shengzhou.

"General Shen's movements today." Nangong Chi said while playing with the jade wrench in his hand.

Su Shengzhou whispered: "General Shen left the palace early this morning, and is now in a private house in the southeast corner of the capital, and the servants have sent people to watch over there."

"Go directly."

"Cha." Su Shengzhou got out of the carriage, sat down on the driver's seat, picked up the whip and whipped it on the horse's belly.The horse immediately pulled the cart and ran.

Nangong Chi was thinking about Shen Changge's motivation for doing this. He is already under one person and above ten thousand people, and if he goes up, there is only the seat under his buttocks.Does he really want to be the emperor, or is it just to hand over the state of Zhou to others?

Shen Changge, oh Shen Changge, if you really have thoughts that you shouldn't have, then no matter what, I will keep you.

The horse-drawn carriage passed by, raising a cloud of dust.

In the carriage, Nangong Chi looked at the curtain of the carriage, and unconsciously continued to play with the wrench in his hand.At this time, his mood was very calm. No matter what he saw in the past, even if Shen Changge really betrayed him, he was mentally prepared.Nangong Chi slowly put away the determination in his eyes, all the sharp things were hidden in those deep pool-like pupils, which were as black as ink and bottomless.It is also like the center of the storm when the storm is coming. Under the calm surface, there is a violent and ready-to-go thunder.

Speaking of Tuoba Xiao, Shen Changge had to say that he was a good opponent.The two have been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Although his side has always had the upper hand, Tuoba Xiao can also be regarded as a genius on the battlefield. He is always good at inventing all kinds of unpredictable but very practical fighting methods and strategic weapons.Shen Changge suffered a lot from him.If Tuoba Xiao was from Zhou, Shen Changge would definitely try his best to recruit him.It's a pity that the two have different positions, and they are destined to meet each other in battle.

This time Shen Changge came out to meet this old opponent.Not for anything else, just for a dagger.

The day before Ban Shi returned to the court, the two had a night talk on the truce.They talked about their demands while drinking.Shen Changge thought he could drink enough, but after all, he couldn't compare to Tuobaxiao, a northerner who drank wine like water every day.So in the end, he was forced to lie down.

Shen Changge knew that Tuoba Xiao was interested in him, but he was already attached to Nangong Chi, so naturally he would not respond to Tuoba Xiao's overtures.That night, he also thought that he would return to court to meet the new emperor soon, so he was happy for a while and lowered his vigilance.

In the end, Tuoba Xiao took his knife away.

A short knife about two feet long that cuts iron like mud.

Seeing Shen Changge enter the door, before Tuoba Xiao arrived, his voice came first: "You are here. I see things and think about people day and night, but this broken knife is no match for you, and I am tired of looking at it."

Tuoba Xiao stepped forward, he had a high nose and deep eyes, he was more exotic than the Central Plains man.It's a pity that his good looks are no different from Chinese cabbage in the eyes of Shen Changge, who has his own heart.

"Since you're tired of looking at it, give it back to me." Shen Changge stepped into the yard, and as soon as he finished speaking, something was thrown over there, which was his dagger.

"You are really boring. I came all the way to see you, but you didn't even ask me." Tuobaxiao was elated when he saw him, but his words were sour.

"You, a Northern Yi prince, entered the border of our Zhou Kingdom without notification. You should be executed according to the law. I didn't directly arrest you and put you in the prison. I did you a favor." He spoke in a low voice, just enough for the two of them to hear. .As the great general of the state of Zhou, meeting with the prince of Beiyi privately would be a trouble no matter who knew about it.Just for the hat of collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is estimated that there must be more than a dozen hats to be put on his head.

"Then you caught me. If I could die in your hands, I would be willing to be a ghost." A slippery remark was uttered by Tuobaxiao, but when he spoke, he leaned very close to his ear, making Shen Changge The whole person is uncomfortable.

[System prompt: The plot of the branch character Tuoba Xiao is triggered, the current Tuoba Xiao's favorite value is 60, and the regret degree is 0. 】

Wen Fei called the hairball in his mind: "He can also attack?"

"Yes, Master Host. He is a branch character. As long as you fill up his stats, you can also get rewards, but the rewards are a little less than the rewards you get from the main target of the main strategy."

Wen Fei understood now.

Shen Changge pushed Kaiba Xiao: "I said I'm not interested in you."

Tuoba Xiao grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms, saying: "What's good about your Emperor Zhou, I can give you what he can give you."

As soon as Nangong Chi lay down on the wall, he saw this scene, and immediately felt bad.

They deliberately lowered their voices to speak, Nangong Chi couldn't hear what they were talking about, but seeing them resisting and quarreling, made him more certain that they had something to do with each other.

"He treats me as a lover, and makes me sit on an equal footing with him, unlike you who treat me as an obscenity." Shen Changge felt that he had behaved too much today, so he withdrew his hand uncomfortably, and stood up straight , "He is not as frivolous as you."

"As long as you follow me, I can make you my princess. I can never marry you for the rest of my life." Tuobaxiao said to him with a solemn expression, as if swearing an oath.

Shen Changge sighed, stretched out his hand to give him a hug, and said: "The only thing I can give you is this, you are a very good person, I can treat you as an opponent, as the prince of Beiyi, but I will not treat you You are my lover." Before Tuobaxiao could hug him back, he had already let go of his hand, saying: "I already have Chonglin in my heart, sorry."

Now that the knife is in hand, Shen Changge will not keep any more.He looked at Tuoba Xiao apologetically, turned and left.

Tuoba Xiao watched Shen Changge walk away, and when he turned his gaze, he landed on the place where Nangong Chi was lying on his stomach just now.In fact, if Shen Changge didn't hug him, he would have made some other intimate moves towards him, otherwise, how could it be possible for Emperor Zhou to come here for nothing.When he chose this place, he deliberately showed up in Fangshi a few times. With Princess Dexin's inner support, it is not difficult to deliberately attract some Nangongchi's eyeliner.

It's just a long song, I'm going to let you down this time.A trace of unbearableness flashed in Tuobaxiao's eyes, but when he thought that if he didn't do this, he might never get Shen Changge, his heart that softened a little became as hard as a stone again.

He spread his hands and looked at his palms, as if he could still recall the feeling of Shen Changge hugging him just now, so warm and so alluring.This reminded him of the night when he was drunk, Shen Changge's jade-like body who was so drunk and unconscious, and the mark that he deliberately left on him.Little by little, it fell like drizzle in the lake of his heart, making him unable to calm down anymore.Shen Changge, this heart is moved by you, do you understand?It's just that I hope that when that time comes, you don't hate me.

[System prompt: The branch character Tuoba Xiao has a love value of +10, a regret degree of +30, a current love value of 70, and a regret degree of 30. 】

"Actually, little Tuoba is pretty good-looking, and he looks like he's got a good job." Wen Fei chatted with Maoqiu in the system while walking.

Maoqiu: "Huh???" Is his host about to cheat?

"I'm just making a brief evaluation. He probably will be a good helper. After all, with such a rival in love, my little lover should have a more sense of crisis."

Nangong Chi had already returned to the carriage, and Su Shengzhou carefully rode his horse back along the original road.

Nangong Chi tilted his head, looking at the gray sky outside the side window, his heart seemed to be covered with a haze.Changge, you pushed me to this point with your own hands. I don't blame you, and you don't blame me either.

The wheels of the car rolled over a stone on the side of the road, and the car body shook twice.Su Shengzhou's heart tightened, for fear of disturbing Sheng Jia.

After the carriage drove steadily again, he heard the new emperor in the carriage say in a low and suppressed voice: "Continue to send people to follow Shen Changge, and report to me immediately if there is any change."

Su Shengzhou said sincerely and fearfully: "Yes."

After a while, the new emperor added: "Don't hurt his life."

Su Shengzhou responded quickly: "Cha."
