dust song

The capital of Tianquan Kingdom, Teng He Tower.

There was only one person standing on the top of the building, his tall and silent back was as motionless as a mountain, and Di Qing was standing quietly on the edge of the tile platform that would fall a hundred meters below the building if he stumbled, overlooking the hundred-mile city of the capital.The capital, nourished by the power of heaven and the earth, is bustling, with streets and alleys criss-crossing, and two winding moats, like crouching dragons intertwined, surrounding the inside and outside of the capital, with such a long distance, even the common people in the market have become like ants as insignificant.

The Tenghe Tower is the tallest building in Tianquan Capital City. It is different from the observation towers that are common in other countries. Because there are no wooden fences for protection, this place is not a place that ordinary people can climb.Here, if a person with a little less courage stands for a while, he will be frightened by the vanity of his feet and his legs will become weak, let alone enjoy the beautiful scenery here safely.

There was a strong wind blowing from the highest place, and the sound of the wind whizzed past, as if it was about to swallow people on this high platform, but Di Qing still let his clothes fly indifferently.

"Huh—" Di Qing sighed, and suddenly recalled that the prince brought him here. The Murong Chengdu stood at the place where he was standing now, and waved his sleeves to dispel all opinions. From his family background, he became the commander of the secret door, with such a domineering and mighty aura, it seemed that he wanted to trample all the power of heaven and earth under his feet...

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell under Di Qing's feet, and his tone was indifferent but also contained some urgency: "Commander, the prince is calling urgently!"

Hearing this, Di Qing raised her eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, she slowly turned her head and said, "Got it."

At noon, even under the sun for a long time, the strong smell of blood that permeated the air could not be dispelled.

Di Qing seemed to smell the danger. He straightened his back on the corridor, and then slowly stepped into the courtyard of the palace pavilion.

The blood-spattered sword stood in the middle of the courtyard, and then a handsome face with sharp edges and corners came into Di Qing's eyes. Murong Chengdu was resting his hands on the hilt expressionlessly, and his dark eyes were covered with a layer of shock. Shaking thin ice.

"My subordinates will see the lord." Di Qing bowed his head slightly, bowing and saluting neither humble nor overbearing.

Murong Chengdu nodded, without any disturbance in his tone, "This king asks you, do you know what this is?"

With a sound of "ding lang", something knocked on the sword, Di Qing looked up, his pupils shrank suddenly, the green jade flower pendant that should have been worn on Chu Lichen's neck was vaguely wrapped around Murong Chengdu's palm .

But in an instant, the guilt in Di Qing's eyes flashed, "Go back to the prince, my subordinates don't know."

Murong Chengdu sneered, and said nothing to Di Qing's obvious lie, "It's okay if you don't know, I will tell you personally that this is the flower pendant that I bestowed on Chu Lichen before. He wears it next to his body every day and never leaves it. body."

Di Qing frowned slightly, then respectfully cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate doesn't understand what the lord means."

"In front of this king, you don't have to rush to defend yourself. Why don't you guess how this king knows?" Murong Chengdu stood up, dragged his sword, and stood in front of Di Qing. He said in a low voice, "That day, you told me firmly that you had settled him outside the city."

Di Qing felt the strong pressure on his face, and he barely kept a flat and respectful expression on his face. His already ugly voice was even more difficult to hear because of his suppressed emotions, "...the subordinates don't know..."

After Di Qing finished speaking, he secretly gritted his teeth, thinking, why these words and deeds reveal a convincing majesty, a man who is bound to become the lord of heaven, and let a lowly male favorite become his weakness!

As the leader of the secret door, he has never regretted what he did, after all, everything he did was for the prince!

A deafening and mellow voice came from the top of the head, seeming to be slightly sullen, "This king is standing in front of you now, do you want to continue lying?"

Di Qing sighed slightly, "Forgive me, my lord. Since my lord already knew about this matter, then my subordinates will tell you straight up. Today, my lord urgently summoned my subordinates, which shows that Chu Lichen is indeed different in my lord's heart, and it also proves that my subordinates were not as good as before." The decision was correct."

As he said that, Di Qing's eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice: "The reason why this subordinate did this is to prevent someone with a heart from threatening the prince with Chu Lichen in the future. It will hurt the prince."

A dangerous smile curled up on Murong Chengdu's lips, "Oh? Finally couldn't help but say it out? Then you cut it first and played it later, and tried your best to hide it from me. Why?"

Di Qing's heart shrank, and he bowed his head silently.

Just when everyone thought that Murong Chengdu was about to throw a tantrum to punish Di Qing, Murong Chengdu just asked lightly: "Are you afraid that this king will blame you for killing Chu Lichen?"

The calm and indifferent tone caused Di Qing's expression to be filled with astonishment.

Could it be that the prince came to him this time not to ask for punishment?

Murong Chengdu's eyes froze, he saw Di Qing's thoughts, he smiled slightly, and said: "You are my confidant, how could this king punish you for a male favorite, I have made great contributions to you, this king is different You care about doing things on your own." Murong Chengdu's eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife's edge, and he said calmly, "However, there is one thing you must remember in the future, no matter what happens to this king's things, it is not your turn to dispose of them privately ,do you understand?"

Di Qing paused, then knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, my lord, I understand!"

"Get up." Murong Cheng glanced around, and finally landed on Di Qing, "How about the things I asked you to do earlier?"

Di Qing straightened his face, and replied: "Because the assassin who participated in the assassination that day is still in our hands, Gu Wenjiang is afraid in his heart, and he dare not make any further moves now, but his subordinates have ordered the secret guards to keep an eye on the prime minister all the time. house."

The expected result, Murong Chengdu smiled coldly, and stared fiercely at Di Qing's face for a moment, "An anti-emperor is most afraid of being unknown. I have been waiting for five years, and I have waited long enough."

Di Qing hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "This subordinate will definitely do his best!"

Murong Cheng frowned, exuding a gloomy and cold air all over his body, he said in a deep voice: "This king will give you another half a year at most, if it still fails, you should imagine how angry this king will be then?"

Di Qing straightened his back, and immediately responded: "Yes, this subordinate obeys orders!"

After getting the desired response, Murong Chengdu gave a "hmm" and waved Di Qing back.

"Subordinates retire."

After Di Qing left, a black shadow fell behind Murong Chengdu, "My lord, my subordinates have sent people to search the three miles around the thatched cottage according to what the man said, but they didn't find any trace of Mr. Chu."

As soon as the words were finished, Murong Chengdu's expression became gloomy in an instant, and then he let out a low growl, and clenched the flower pendant in his hand fiercely, with such force that gurgling blood fell from his fingers in a blink of an eye.

Murong Chengdu looked in the direction where Di Qing left, gritted his teeth and said, "Keep looking! I want to see people when I live, and corpses when I die!"
