I'm not Murong Chong

Murong Chong went back to the palace late at night, his anger still lingering all the way.Shi Yigui immediately got off the saddle and followed behind in the snow. He guessed that Murong Chong was the one who failed to find the seal, but because he knew Murong Chong's temper well, he didn't dare to talk too much, but Ren Zhen stayed first. Grinding his teeth, he asked, "When did the messenger who went to Guzang to contact Lu Guang leave?"

Shi Yigui hurriedly reported: "It's been two days. Your Majesty, don't worry, the last general will choose the most able and capable subordinates under his command—" Then he added: "They all went out of the city at night in disguise during the festival. , no one else knows."

Ren Zhen raised his eyebrows lightly, and glanced at him in the thick night, Shi Yigui immediately felt the same, and hurriedly whispered: "The general thought that Fu Jian was detained in Yang Ding's camp, and many people in the court were dissatisfied. Knowing that the emperor intends to send Fu Jian to Longxi, there will be complications, and he will end up thinking about the holy intentions, please the emperor—" Ren Zhen waved his hand, stopping his high-sounding confession: "You are smart, I knew it a long time ago. You don't need to hide or avoid it. As long as you have kind thoughts in your heart, I will never hate you."

Shi Yigui was stunned for a moment, this was the first time Ren Zhen had spoken to him like this, since the first time they met, he was the one who guarded against him, and he counted against him.

"But if you continue to behave viciously and omnipotently like before-I can promote you, and I can also trample you to death!"

Shi Yigui's scalp went numb, and he quickly bowed his head and answered yes, Ren Zhen snorted softly, turned around lazily and walked towards his bedroom, Shi Yigui followed closely, but Ren Zhen suddenly stopped, making him almost Hitting head-on, he took a half step back in confusion and looked at Ren Zhen: "Does the emperor have anything else to say?"

Ren Zhen reached out and touched his bosom for a long time, and pulled out a small red paper bag: "Fu Jian almost forgot about it. Here it is for you."

Shi Yigui took it, pinched it, opened it, and held up a corner of broken silver inexplicably.Ren Zhen coughed and said, "I'll give you a new year's gift. Although you are over-nourished and overdeveloped at first glance, you are not yet an adult. I used to get eighteen..."

"?" Shi Yigui had never heard of it, and no one had ever said this to him in the past few years, so he opened his mouth in amazement and looked at him.Ren Zhen got bored, Huo Dadi turned around and left: "Anyway, it's the Chinese New Year for good luck, don't spend it tomorrow!"

Shi Yigui suddenly came to his senses, quickly squeezed it tightly into the bag, followed quickly, and said as if he had nothing to say: "No! Anyway... this little money can't buy anything..."

Ren Zhen rolled his huge eyes, and muttered in a low voice: What an unlovable brat.

Ren Zhen naturally didn't like to live in the deep and spacious Jinhua Palace, and would rather nest in the side hall of the Phoenix Palace, and cut down more than half of the accompanying palace servants, and no idlers were allowed to enter the palace.As a result, the two stepped into the door one after another, and saw a figure standing faintly under the candle shadow in the corner in front of them, they were all taken aback.

Shi Yigui stepped forward to block Ren Zhen, touched his sword at the same time, and asked, "Who?" The figure turned around and kowtowed calmly. Murong Yong.

Ren Zhen calmed down, then turned his face indifferently: "When did Ai Qing come?"

Murong Yong said in a low voice: "At the banquet just now, I saw the emperor following Yang Ding away, I was surprised, so I also left the banquet and waited here."

Shi Yigui kept his eyes fixed on his nose, nose, nose, and heart, but he thought in his heart - he has been here for nearly two hours.Murong Chong made a clear order not to enter the Phoenix Hall without a public notice. This general who holds real power is really unequivocal. He blatantly entered the house. The guards outside the hall were afraid that no one could stop him, so they dared not stop him.In my ears, I heard Ren Zhen asking calmly: "Which courtier am I going to see, is it worthy of Ai Qing's 'surprise' in the middle of the night?"

Murong never accepted his sarcasm, and looked up at Ren Zhen: "The humble minister was surprised because he was afraid that the emperor would favor the ministers of foreign races too much, and even entrust them with important tasks. You must know that people who are not of my race must have different hearts. Fu Jian can't learn from the past." Far, the emperor has forgotten?"

Hearing this moment, Ren Zhen laughed suddenly, with his hands behind his back, he brushed past Murong Yong in a calm manner, and a strong but faint smell of alcohol rushed into Murong Yong's nose from top to bottom. "I understand now. Since I sealed Yang Ding and handed over one of the four major barracks to him, I'm afraid you will harbor resentment in your heart——Murong Yong, if you have something to say, say it, you are afraid that I will let Yang Ding take over Soldiers, share your rights"

Murong Yong was dumbfounded, so he could only answer instinctively: "My minister, I just don't believe in this surrendered general - he chased Fu Jian that day, so he deliberately made a slack - if the emperor wants to fight Yao Qin in the spring, he will definitely use all his strength In this battle, Yang must not be appointed as the coach!"

"Oh?" Ren Zhen stood still, and said with his back to him, "Then, in the meaning of loving you, who can do it?" Then he sneered, "It must be you, Murong Yong?!"

Murong Yong did have this intention, but he consciously gave up on others, let Ren Zhen's dissatisfaction in his words, and his heart was also angry, he suddenly got up and said: "I would like to lead the Xianbei cavalry to conquer Xiaoguan, and bring the heads of Yao Chang and his son to see him." !"

Ren Zhen said indifferently: "I'm afraid that there will not be only Yao and his son at the time? Once Aiqing returns triumphantly, the whole Murong family will rely on your majesty even more?"

Murong Yong thought that Ren Zhen was still worried about Yao Song, so he was so angry that he took a step closer, waved his hands, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, don't lose the big with the small! If the Majesty still remembers that Dayan's surname is Murong, You have to think about our whole family, and never use Yang Ding to be handsome!"

Before the words finished, Shi Yigui also took a step forward but raised his sword out of its sheath, and said in that hoarse and cold voice: "Does the general want to force the palace?!"

Murong Yong suddenly came to his senses, knowing that this time he was truly indifferent to the emperor—how could he have forgotten that the person in front of him was no longer the young man who had no distractions in the center of Efang Palace back then!He hurriedly pulled up his robe and knelt down, and was about to apologize, but Ren Zhen suddenly turned around, stretched out a finger, and stopped his chattering.He was condescending, and said word by word in a slow and heavy tone: "Murong Yong, who is the commander-in-chief of Zheng Yao and Qin, I have the final say. Whether to use you or not, it is also in my mind, it is not human I can put my beak on it. You trespassed in the bedroom today, and you have nothing to do with the king. It is a capital crime. I really think I can do nothing to you now?——Back off!"

Murong Yong hurriedly jumped up on his knees again: "Your Majesty—!!" Shi Yigui hurriedly stopped in the middle, holding his head high and holding his sword, staring at him.

Ren Zhen raised his foot and turned into the inner room without looking back, Murong Yong was in a hurry, and wanted to use force, and slashed his hands to snatch Shi Yigui's long sword: "Get out of the way!"

Shi Yigui didn't take half a step back, turned his wrist to dodge, but took advantage of the momentum to send out the sword in his palm, the tip of the sword sank into Murong Yong's lapel in an instant, he said coldly: "General, the emperor ordered you to step back , the end will obey orders, how offended."

Murong Yong sneered disdainfully at the half-grown boy who reached under his ear, "How dare you?!"

Shi Yigui's subordinates added force, still expressionless: "I am not the general of the Murong family, I only obey the emperor's orders, the emperor has orders, the general can only step over my corpse, but the general will fight with me, I am afraid not worth it."

Ren Zhen turned around not far away, glanced at Murong Yong for the last time, and said in a contemptuous voice: "Murong Yong, if you really want to go overboard and give orders, you will see the real chapter and replace me-if you don't have the courage to be Cao Cao, don't think about it Take the emperor to command the princes!"

Ren Zhen lay down with his clothes on, his chest still churning for a while—he must be exhausted after drinking a lot of wine today and going through a lot of things, but he could only open his eyes and hold his breath, staring at the tent Dragon pattern, life and death cannot sleep peacefully.

Now he always suspects that Murong Yong has a different purpose, always suspects that Murong Yong has a ulterior motive—Murong family, Murong family, for such a thing, what can't he do, what feelings can't he give up? !

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yigui came in lightly, and Ren Zhen didn't look at him, but stared at the sky in a daze, and only asked, "Where is he?"

"Going back." Shi Yigui didn't repeat Murong Yong's ashen expression when he left, and couldn't help it after a moment of silence: "Who does the emperor want to send to the north to conquer Yao Qin?" Ren Zhen still ignored him, just coldly He sneered, "Why? You also want to lead troops to go to war?" Shi Yigui's heart became hot, and he said eagerly: "I am willing to take command of the emperor to go to war, even if I am shrouded in horse leather!"

Hearing this, Ren Zhen turned over and sat up, waved his palm without looking at him, and clear and crisply swept five red marks on his cheeks: "Let me say this for the last time, even if it's not Murong Yong's turn, it's not your turn to come." Get your finger on the military power. Shi Yigui, you are too young!"

Shi Yigui stared at Ren Zhen in the burning pain, his eyes reflected his impatient mocking look, he lowered his head, then squatted down calmly, pulled the brocade quilt for Ren Zhen, and said in a low voice , "Yes, the last general has overstepped. Your Majesty, it's time to rest."

Ren Zhen pulled the quilt and lay down angrily. After a while, he turned his face and saw Shi Yigui sitting cross-legged against the bedpost with his sword in his arms: "...what are you doing?" Authentic: "I will watch the night for the emperor - no matter who he is, don't even try to overstep the thunder and disturb the emperor's dream."

Ren Zhen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little annoyed. He waved his hand indiscriminately, and then slapped Shi Yigui, showing clear red marks on Shi Yigui's face, "I still need your protection?! Get off! "

It was the first time that Shi Yigui did not obey orders immediately. He turned his face, and suddenly took the courage to hold Ren Zhen's cold right hand: "I will watch the night for the emperor! Give me a month, and the guards of the Phoenix Palace can be replaced by The emperor's relatives and private members are loyal only to the emperor, not to the Murong clan!"

These words are indeed a bit outrageous, but a half-grown young man looked at him so eagerly, sincerely and anxiously, with a wild and unruly light in his eyes, like a lively young animal, Ren Zhen suddenly couldn't swear. , He pulled out his hand, lay down angrily, and stopped talking nonsense with him.But he was thinking in a mess in his heart: Even Shi Yigui could see that he was now being restrained by the Xianbei nobles headed by Murong Yong, and it was difficult to be arbitrary. He trusted Murong Yong too much in the past, and all important matters of the country were left to him to decide, so that now he can't get rid of it. If he controls all the military power again, he will be further emptied.

Seeing that Ren Zhen no longer objected, Shi Yigui heaved a sigh of relief, touched his hot cheeks, got up and nestled in the corner by the bedpost, trying his best to shrink himself into an inconspicuous shadow.The floor tiles were cold, but his heart was hot, so he didn't feel any pain at all. He put his hands into fists to his knees, and he began to close his eyes and adjust his breath.

Shi Yigui sat in his clothes and guarded in front of Ren Zhen's bed for a whole night. When he opened his eyes the next day, he was full of energy, without any signs of fatigue from a hard night's work.Standing in the snow-covered martial arts arena, he looked up at the layers of palaces covered in silver all around him. He let out a breath of hot air, and suddenly let out a clear whistle. A stone shot out from his hand and hit a jade pan ten feet away. The sound of gold and stone resounded through the dawn, and the earthquake shook trees and snow fell.

However, with a little effort, there was the sound of stepping on the snow, and the huge martial arts arena immediately crowded with people standing all over the ground. Although they gathered in a hurry, they were orderly and silent.The leader of the team clasped his fist at Shi Yigui: "My lord!"

Shi Yigui just gave a little grace - he was already young and mature, and now he was even more calm, pacing slowly around the square array, his voice was like cowhide boots stepping on the snow The ground is as clear and heavy as the ground: "Today's assembly is as fast as usual. It can be seen that you did not drink too much at the night banquet in the palace last night, which is very good." He stopped: "You are all leftovers on the battlefield. It is already the grace of the emperor to eat and eat! The rich clothes and fine food in the palace have nothing to do with you—do you understand?!"

The teenagers in only unlined clothes knelt down on the snow and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Excellency!"

Shi Yigui stepped towards the front of the team, looked down at the youngsters all over the place, and said in a loud voice: "I have already agreed with you, today is still the knockout format, two teams, the winner leaves the loser!" Self-attack At the beginning of Xia Xinping and Guanzhong, Ren Zhen ordered to recruit half-grown children with good qualifications, and they were incorporated into the imperial palace for training.Shi Yigui got an errand, but he didn't follow his promise to look for it in Chang'an City. He went out of the city to search for orphans in the battlefield, regardless of race or age, as long as he had the word "hard" - he could win in the ruins under the flames of war. There is not a single good person who has a chance of survival. In order to fight for half of the bread and a piece of leftovers, they dare to kill.And all of them have no father, no mother, no home and no country. They dare to swear allegiance to whoever feeds them!

Shi Yigui folded his hands on his chest, and watched indifferently this group of teenagers who were similar to his age duel to the death - said it was a competition, but it was all fighting for their lives - what kind of world was in the cold outside, each of them It is very clear, so no one wants to get out, nor dare to get out.A stream of blood splashed on his cheek with a scream, he wiped it with his thumb casually, and rubbed it against his lips, it was steaming hot and uncorroded by ice and snow, with a little warm sweetness.The black-faced boy who was the first to deal with his opponent and returned to him panted slightly, and Shi Yigui nodded at the boy who was one or two years younger than him, and stepped forward to check. The person who fell to the ground just now was dead. A large pool of bright red blood fainted under his body, which was shocking on the white snow.He moved the corpse with his toes indifferently, and kicked the dead man's lower abdomen with a sneer: "Mu Chong, you are making dirty tricks."

Originally, the elimination system was adopted for the purpose of selection and not to harm people's lives, so it was stipulated that blunt knives should be used uniformly. However, the lower abdomen of the deceased was cut by a sharp blade from the navel, and it turned upwards, piercing the heart veins. It was because it was crushed that it shed so much blood. "It's hard enough, I have a grudge against him," Shi Yigui asked casually as he fiddled with the bright red snow on the ground with his feet.

The face of the young man named Mu Chong was covered with smoke, blood, sweat and grime, and he could no longer distinguish the facial features, so he turned his head and glanced at him, and replied naturally, "I don't know him."

"Then why do you want his life? You are good at fighting, and you won't lose if you fight."

Mu Chongwangtian thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm hungry, I'm in a hurry to eat."

Shi Yigui burst out laughing, and ordered someone to reward Mu Chong with meat—this wild boy was strong enough, and he saw another self in him, who was rougher, braver, more presumptuous and didn't need to be suppressed or disguised.He asked with great interest: "Listen to your accent, you are also a substitute? What did the family do for a living?"

Mu Chongzheng was squatting on the ground holding a sea bowl and devouring it. Hearing the words, he replied vaguely: "I don't know. I followed my father to escape everywhere when I opened my eyes. I finally arrived in Chang'an. When my father died, I lived alone. They stole and robbed, but they didn’t starve to death anyway.”

Shi Yigui had already guessed that this person and himself were from the Dai Kingdom. When Fu Jian destroyed the Dai, they were moved from Bingzhou to Guanzhong together. Children can imagine what kind of life they are living. They don't talk about the origin, the motherland, the relationship, right and wrong, and their only obsession is survival.

At this moment, the captain of the Huben Battalion ran over in small steps, and whispered in Shi Yigui's ear, "My lord... today... there are two latecomers who didn't dare to come over just now, and have been kneeling outside in the snow to plead guilty."

Shi Yigui turned his face away and said, "What's the reason?"

"Tell... say it was too much to drink last night, so drunk today that I can't get out of bed—"

Shi Yigui smiled: "As soon as the Huben Camp became an organization, someone wanted to break my rules? How do you deal with it?" The little captain's expression changed from fright: "My lord, I'll go back and punish the two of you immediately!"

"Stand blame? No need." Shi Yigui's smile remained unchanged: "Since they can't get up today, let them never get up!"

"My lord, my lord..." The team leader begged for a few words with embarrassment because the two of them were from the same town as the offender. He wanted to make the big problem smaller, but Shi Yigui listened calmly at first, and then shook his hand violently. , he was caught off guard and flew more than ten feet away, screaming and falling heavily to the ground, kicking up white snow all over the ground.

Shi Yigui put his hand on Mu Chong's shoulder amidst the snowflakes: "Go out and deal with those two trash, you are the captain."

Mu Chong sucked a big mouthful of broth before he wiped his mouth and got up and went out.

But after a while, he turned around and came back. His robe was covered with fresh blood stains one after another, and the hem had been soaked into a wet ink color, leaving countless winding and eye-catching spots on the snow with his footsteps drop by drop. red marks.

Mu Chong squatted back beside him again, continuing to hold the bowl.

Shi Yigui didn't ask him how to concoct the two cannon fodder, Mu Chong's attack was fast enough and ruthless enough, that was enough.He smiled silently, stroked Mu Chong's tangled hair, and felt a bit of inexplicable excitement about raising a giant dog—he wanted to make him a spear that he could use to conquer everything!

From then on, Shi Yigui cared and raised Mu Chong carefully. That Mu Chong, a savage boy who dared to kill people because of his stuttering, had never encountered such a treatment of seven points, three points, a whip and a spoonful of sugar. Quickly from obedience to fear, and from fear to respect, it seems that Shi Yigui is the only figure in the huge Weiyang Palace.
