Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

Lou Yu was chased by a head all night, and when he woke up in the morning, his complexion was as pale as a ghost, his head was groggy, and he had no appetite to eat.

Seeing him like this, Feng Erbi couldn't help suggesting: "Your Highness, why don't we go back to the palace to rest for a few days?"

Go back to the Grange after forgetting those bloody scenes.

Lou Yu waved his hand, took out his bow and arrow, and said expressionlessly, "I'm going to practice archery, don't follow me."

After saying that, he strode out of the yard.

Feng Erbi watched him go away, his heart was so anxious that he ran to find Huo Yan after a second thought.

"I don't worry about Your Highness alone. You have high martial arts skills and light footsteps, so you won't be found if you follow." He sighed, "Your Highness tossed and turned and didn't sleep well last night. I'm really worried."

Huo Yan: "..."

So yesterday's calmness and composure were all just pretending?

He wanted to laugh, but also admired, so he agreed.

Lou Yu came to the training ground alone, a few grass targets were erected a hundred paces away, round like human heads.

He raised his bow and set his arrows, his eyes fixed, and he shot one arrow after another, but he still couldn't hit the target.

The head was still hanging in the air, grinning and mocking him.

Lou Yu's lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't care about the blood on his palms, and he shot at the grass target persistently.

What's so scary!It's just a head!

He was panting heavily, his arms were sore and numb, but he drew out another bamboo arrow and put it on the bowstring.

"Tighten your abs, don't lean forward, and turn your head a little bit to the left."

Huo Yan's hoarse voice came from behind.

Lou Yu subconsciously followed his prompt.

"Calm down, concentrate," Huo Yan guided unhurriedly, and the last word was like thunder, "Let go!"

"call out--"

The bamboo arrow pierced the air, and hit the red heart of the grass target with the posture of running thunder!

Lou Yu was stunned, then smiled and said happily, "I've won! I've won!"

"Well," Huo Yan raised the corners of his lips, "You've hit it."

Lou Yu said happily: "I won, I defeated it!"

He is not afraid of it anymore!

His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, was beaming with joy, as if he had accomplished a feat and relieved a heavy burden.

After relaxing, Lou Yu only felt sore all over.

He threw away the wooden bow, lay down comfortably on the grass, folded his hands behind his head, and looked at the sky to reveal a touch of orange.

"The sun is coming out," he murmured.

Huo Yan sat on the ground, turned his head to look at Lou Yu's fair and handsome face, and said, "He didn't die because of you."

Lou Yu met his eyes, and it happened that the orange light left a touch of tenderness there. At this moment, he was a little moved and a little wronged.

"Have you ever killed someone?" he asked.

Huo Yan nodded, "Killed."

"several?"

"two."

"who?"

"A servant at home."

"Why kill them?"

"Because of betraying the Lord."

The 15-year-old boy talked about the past misery, but his expression was calm and peaceful.

Lou Yu suddenly felt the tip of his nose sore.

When he used to read books, he paid more attention to how the hero is so brave and powerful, how he survived a desperate situation, how he killed the world, and how he ruled the world.

All he saw was coolness, completely ignoring the grief and despair buried deep inside.

Now that he was in the game, he really felt that powerlessness.

Lou Yu stretched out his hands to cover his sore eyes.

"I'm sorry about the past."

The people around were silent for a moment, Fang said: "It has nothing to do with you."

Lou Yu didn't realize it at first, but it took a long while before he realized it.

He withdrew his hand abruptly, allowing the reddish eye sockets to be exposed in front of Huo Yan.

"What do you mean?"

His heart beat faster and faster, and he stared at Huo Yan's handsome and indifferent face.

Huo Yan caught a trace of disbelief and bewilderment in his eyes, and became more determined in his guess.

He stared into Lou Yu's eyes: "Grandpa said that he once met a traveling doctor who told him that there is a kind of person in the world who have two souls, one as the master and the other as the assistant, and sometimes the assisting soul turns against the master .I wonder if His Highness has heard of it?"

Lou Yu: "..."

Does this mean he has schizophrenia?

He opened his eyes and said sincerely: "There is such a miracle."

The male protagonist is worthy of being a male protagonist, not only has keen observation, but also has a big brain, he really dares to think and speak.

Huo Yan was noncommittal about his evasion, and changed the subject: "The villain has done a lot of evil, and it is only natural for you to kill him, so you don't have to feel guilty."

Lou Yu hit the target and was comforted by his "confidant brother", the fear in his heart gradually dissipated.

He stood up and patted the grass clippings behind him, facing the orange-red morning sun, he suddenly asked, "Do you want to leave Gyeongju?"

For such a long time, Lou Yu has not allowed Huo Yan to hold an important position. On the one hand, it is because he does not want to be overqualified, and on the other hand, he knows that Huo Yanzhi is not here.

Even though Huo Yan once said that he wanted to work for him, Lou Yu knew that he didn't do it wholeheartedly, he just wanted to repay.

If one day, Huo Yan thinks that his reward has been completed, will he leave Gyeongju directly and embark on his own road to becoming a king?

Lou Yu didn't dare to reuse this time bomb.

But after just now, his heart softened.

Wouldn't it be too selfish to keep people by your side?

Huo Yan probably didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he couldn't help but froze.

He observed His Royal Highness Shi Zi's expression carefully, and found that His Highness Shi Zi's eyes were sincere and did not seem to be probing.

"Aqiong and Axuan like this place very much."

And on such a day, Huo Yan knew that he couldn't give it now.

Lou Yu followed closely: "What about you? Do you like this place?"

Obviously he was the one who asked the question, but he was more nervous than the one who answered the question.

Lou Yu wanted Huo Yan to stay, not only because of Huo Yan's ability, but also because Huo Yan saw through him.

This allowed him to no longer feel guilty about what he had done when he faced Huo Yan.

He can be friends with Huo Yan without any grievances.

A gray pigeon flew from the direction of Fucheng and landed in the courtyard of the farm owner.

Huo Yan's eyesight was very strong, and he said: "There are pigeons coming, let's go back."

The meaning of avoiding an answer is quite obvious.

Lou Yu wasn't angry, but was aroused to fight.

One day, he will let Huo Yan stay here willingly!

The note on the carrier pigeon was sent by Feng Sanmo.

The above is the cipher text, except for Anbu, only Lou Yu can understand it.

He raised the corners of his lips, his brows and eyes were eager to try, and ordered Feng Erbi: "Call Huo Yan and Li Shu over."

Feng Erbi is good at observing words and expressions, so he knows that something big will happen.

When the two arrived at the main courtyard, Lou Yu said solemnly, "The Guo family is about to attack."

Li Shu's eyes widened: "How dare they? You are Prince Qing's son!"

"If Prince Qing's son dies suddenly, do you think the court will investigate?" Lou Yu asked.

It is estimated that not only will the investigation not be carried out, but the old emperor will applaud him instead.

The Guo family father and son are very bold. They want to use the information gap to clamp down on Prince Qing's mansion.

If they acted swiftly and controlled Lou Yu all at once, and news spread that Prince Qing's son had died suddenly, would Lou Yu's unsuspecting subordinates still expose the so-called "account book"?

After all, although the prince is dead, King Qing and Princess Qing are still there.

Once the "ledger" is exposed, will Prince Qing's Mansion still exist?

The lesser of two evils, everyone understands the truth.

Lou Yu, who was "killed suddenly", can only become a tool man in the hands of the Guo family and his son in the end. When he loses his use value, he will really die.

It was indeed a bold and vicious strategy.

If Lou Yu hadn't taken precautions in advance, perhaps the Guo family and his son could really turn things around this time.

After discussing the countermeasures with Huo Yan and Li Shu, Lou Yu decided to go back home.

Feng Erbi was worried: "Your Highness, is this too risky?"

Although he was doing whatever he could, he was still worried about His Highness's safety.

Lou Yu said seriously: "There will be a battle between me and the Guo family, I can't hide, and I don't want to hide."

And he has to win.

Only by winning can he firmly control the entire Gyeongju without hindrance, and develop and grow without any worries.

In any war, there are risks.He cannot retreat because of the risk.

The late spring wind brushed gently across the face, and the wild flowers on the roadside fluttered with the wind, welcoming people with smiling faces.

The horse's hooves flew past, splashing countless dust.

Lou Yu was dressed in strong clothes, and ran towards the old and thin city walls of Gyeongju Prefecture with a firm expression.

Three hundred government soldiers were left in the farm to take care of the refugees, and behind him were only Huo Yan, Li Shu and Feng Erbi.

The guards at the city gate saw Lou Yu from a distance and immediately passed on the news.

When Guo Lian and Guo Tang received the news, they hurriedly asked their subordinates, "Is the dead body ready?"

Subordinate: "Get ready, he is a death row prisoner in prison, and his figure is the same as His Royal Highness."

Guo Lian also ordered people: "Go to Prince Qing's mansion to send a letter saying that the horse dealer will return to the North Man tomorrow, so that the son must go to discuss the deal with the horse dealer today."

The servant retreated immediately.

As soon as Lou Yu returned to the East Courtyard, someone from Guo's mansion sent a message on his back.

It seems that the Guo family father and son can't wait.

Lou Yu changed his clothes, combed his hair neatly, and took Huo Yan out of the house alone.

According to Guo Lian, the horse dealer was resting in Nanshi.

Lou Yu took the carriage and swaggered to Nanshi.

The carriage was parked outside an alley in Nanshi. The alley was too narrow for the carriage to enter, so Lou Yu had no choice but to get out of the carriage and enter on foot with Huo Yan.

The alley was dilapidated and desolate, and there were often filth piled up around the walls. Now that the late spring is warm, there are flies and insects, and the smell is almost unbearable.

Lou Yu thought to himself that the father and son of the Guo family are really cruel. At this moment, they want to put him on the sidelines, is it because they want to knock him out on the spot?

He glanced at Huo Yan secretly, seeing that his expression was normal, he couldn't help asking: "Don't you think it stinks?"

Huo Yan saw his distorted face, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"I can hold my breath for a long time."

"..."

This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

Lou Yu endured the stench and walked to the end of the alley. There was a door in front of him, and the door was old and dilapidated.

Huo Yan blocked Lou Yu behind him, stepped forward and knocked.

After a while, the door creaked open, revealing a bearded face.

This man has a strong build, high nose and deep eyes, and his outline is very different from that of the Dasheng people. He should be a northern barbarian.

He looked at the two of them carefully, and finally his eyes fell on Lou Yu's face, and he spoke in a non-standard official language: "Only one person is allowed to come in."

Huo Yan looked at Lou Yu with a slightly trembling expression.

Lou Yu looked like a fool, with a bright smile on his face, he said, "I want to buy a horse. The prefect of Guo introduced you to me. I don't know what to call you?"

The horse dealer said impatiently: "You can just call me Wutimu. Will you get in or not?"

Lou Yu's face was slapped down, his smile was restrained, and he looked a little embarrassed, but he still suppressed his anger and stepped into the small courtyard.

Huo Yan also wanted to go in, but was stopped by Wutimu.

He was condescending and snorted contemptuously: "Weak chicken."

Huo Yan has a slender figure and a slightly thin appearance. Compared with Wutimu, he really looks like a weak chicken.

He glanced at Wutimu coldly, stepped back a few steps, and stood motionless in front of the courtyard gate.

Wutimu sneered, and slammed the door shut.

As soon as Lou Yu entered the back room, the hairs all over his body stood up, and he was keenly aware that there must be a trap for him here.

Wutimu poured him a bowl of water and placed it roughly in front of him, the water splashed out and landed on Lou Yu's new clothes.

His Royal Highness is dressed gorgeously, out of tune with the environment here.

Wutimu glanced at him, and said in a rough voice: "Why, you think my water hurts your throat, so you don't want to drink?"

Lou Yu frowned and raised his tone: "I'm here for business, not for drinking water."

Wutimu didn't force him to drink water, he took a big gulp and asked, "How much do you want?"

Lou Yu sniffed the unpleasant smell from the tip of his nose, and said, "A thousand horses."

"Are you crazy?" Wutimu's eyes widened, "There are so many, where can I bring them to you?"

Lou Yu touched the tip of his nose with his knuckles, "The method is thought up by people. If you come to Dasheng to sell horses, it is impossible that you can't even do this."

Wutimu choked for a moment, looked at him again, and couldn't help asking: "What do you want so many horses for?"

Lou Yu sighed, "Help the poor."

Wutimu: "What the hell?"

"I once heard Guo Zhifu say that the barbarians live in the northern cold, without food, salt, tea, and sugar. Their lives are really hard," Lou Yu said sincerely, "I feel deeply sympathetic. Buying your horses may allow you to live a richer life."

Utimu: "..."

He was stunned for a long time before he finally realized that he couldn't help but yelled, "You fucking kidding me!"

Lou Yu stood up with sincere eyes, "I really want to buy a horse."

He looked at the haystack by the door, and sighed again, "If you hadn't poured oil around the house, maybe we could really have a long-term deal."

Utimu stared at him in surprise.

The young son is handsome and handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor, he is not at all like the idiot in the rumors.

He couldn't help asking: "If it's a transaction, how much can you offer?"

Lou Yu smiled and said, "Then how much price do you want before you are willing to cooperate with me?"

Before Wutimu could answer, he continued, "If I guess correctly, there is a dead body hidden in this haystack. You will follow Guo Lian's instructions, take me out of the secret passage, and set this room on fire."

Wutimu's eyes gradually changed, he no longer underestimated Lou Yu, on the contrary, he became somewhat interested in Lou Yu.

"This place is secluded, and no one knows when the fire started. When the fire is raging, even if someone finds out, it will be difficult to enter because of the narrow alley, and there is no near water to save them. They cannot extinguish the fire in time, and can only watch the house burn to ashes."

Lou Yu's eyes were curved, and he seemed to be extremely happy, "At that time, Prince Qing's son will be burned so badly that even his own mother won't be able to see the clue."

Utimu applauded sincerely and asked, "Since you know, why do you still come?"

"Because you need me." Lou Yu boasted without shame.

Wutimu laughed loudly, with admiration in his eyes: "Your Majesty is very funny!"

"Treasurer Wu, how many clansmen, cattle, sheep and horses did you freeze to death in the snowstorm in the north last year? You have no food or salt, can you continue to suffer?"

Lou Yu was persuasive, "Your cattle, sheep and horses can be traded with me. If you hand me over to Guo Lian, you will get nothing."

With Guo Lian's greedy nature, when he has an absolute advantage, he is definitely not willing to give up profits.

Wutimu just waited to be squeezed to death.

Of course Wutimu was not stupid if he dared to take risks to smuggle in Dasheng. He squinted at Lou Yu and asked in a deep voice, "You are from the royal family of Dasheng, how can I trust you?"

Lou Yu laughed, "It's been 15 years since I was working, and the northern barbarians were in civil strife. The current barbarian king killed his own nephew to ascend to the throne. It's not a secret."

Everyone is a "royal family" regardless of blood, why bother to laugh at fifty steps?

A stern look flashed in Wutimu's eyes.

He thought for a while, and finally asked, "What do you want to do?"
