Rebirth of the Merry Warrior

Chapter 31 Who Disturbed the Country

Shen Chengqian tossed and turned on the soft couch, unable to close his eyes no matter what.

That's right, he has always slept on the same bed with Long Chenyu along the way, and he has been pampered a long time ago in the days when he hugged and slept with others.Now that I am alone, my heart is inevitably empty.

However, he had no choice.In the past, sleeping with Long Chenyu was always on the way to the army, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was just that the two had a close relationship.But now that he entered the imperial palace, if he continued to do the same as before, he might be criticized by people.

In this dynasty, the common people could not accept the so-called goodness of Longyang.If word got out, his career with Long Chenyu would be over.

Shen Chengqian was thinking about this, but suddenly he heard a knock on the door.Immediately, Long Chenyu's deep voice also came quietly: "Chengqian, are you asleep?"

Shen Chengqian's feeling at that time was almost the same as when his eyes were bright and the flowers were shining brightly.He hastily put on a jacket, stepped on his shoes indiscriminately and went to open the door.

After opening the door, he saw Long Chenyu standing outside the door in ordinary clothes, he couldn't help asking: "It's so late at night, why did you come here?"

"Why, you don't welcome me?" Long Chenyu smiled lightly. "I know that you have always been worried about Lingqiu and his party, and you are always restless. I am afraid that you will think too much at night and won't sleep well, so I came here to see you."

But Shen Chengqian only said: "If people see it, what should we do?"

"So what if it's seen by others? It's just that you can't sleep at night, and you just come to chat with friends. Could it be that there is still a crime?" Long Chenyu smiled. "Let me in quickly, but it's freezing me to death."

Shen Chengqian quickly turned to the side to let Long Chenyu in, then poked his head and looked around outside the door for a long time before locking the door.Turning around again, he saw that Long Chenyu had curled up on his couch at some point, wrapped himself into a rice dumpling around the quilt.

Shen Chengqian simmered a pot of wine for him on the stove, Long Chenyu drank it, and his body became somewhat warmer.The two chattered some gossip, then Shen Chengqian got to the point and said, "General, do you think there is anything weird in this palace?"

Long Chenyu shook his head and said: "It was already very late when we entered the palace, and we rested here almost as soon as we entered the palace, what else can we find? What's more, the curfew in Lingqiu Palace But it's very strict, and I can't take advantage of the loopholes to go out and check around."

Shen Chengqian nodded and said: "You'd better not take the risk of going out, if someone finds out, it would be an inexplicable crime."

"Let's see what will happen when we have a banquet with King Lingqiu tomorrow." Long Chenyu said lightly. "Chengqian, maybe your worry is right. I have been fighting in the north and south for so many years, and there is no place that makes me so uneasy like Lingqiu."

Bai Yu tilted his head slightly, retreated from the crowd, and then entered King Lingqiu's bedroom alone.

On the vermilion desk, a black-haired man in a white silk gown was falling asleep with his eyes closed.Bai Yu gently took a fox fur hanging on the side, and put it on the man.

Although the movement was very light, it still woke the man up. The man grabbed Bai Yu's hand and relaxed after a while: "Bai Yu, you're here..."

Bai Yu leaned over and said softly: "If Your Majesty is tired, you should rest quickly. Tomorrow we will have a banquet with Beichen's envoys at the Flower Hall."

The man didn't nod, but only half-closed his eyes and looked at him playfully.

The man in the white silk long gown is the new Lingqiu Kingdom's new Lingdi, the third prince of the former court, Yan Zhuo.

Bai Yu asked Yan Zhuo to look at his blushing cheeks, and after a while he said, "Your Highness, you should rest quickly and pay more attention to your body."

Yan Jue only gently embraced him, let Bai Yu's slender body lean against him, and then said: "National teacher, you just said that you will have a banquet with Beichen's envoy tomorrow?"

Bai Yu nodded: "Yes."

"This Beichen Yuan Kingdom and our Lingqiu have always lived in peace. They don't ask each other, and they are safe. Why did they send envoys to Lingqiu all of a sudden?"

Bai Yu lowered his head slightly, and said, "Perhaps, they just came to congratulate His Majesty on his succession as the new king."

"If congratulations on my succession, they should have come long ago." Yan Zhuo said with a pair of frivolous phoenix eyes coldly. "Although I am the new king, I have been on the throne for three months. The reason for their visit is not this."

"His Majesty……"

"I received a whisper from a courtier, saying that the group of Beichen people came to Lingqiu because of the inexplicable disappearance of Huangling." Yan Zhuo said coldly. "Because those disappearance cases are too weird, the local people think that they were done by the immortals of Lingqiu, so they sent people here to investigate, right?"

Bai Yu lowered his head, bit his lip, and said after a while: "Yes."

"Since the national teacher knows these things, how long are you going to hide them before you tell me?"

Bai Yu was angry when he heard Yan Juan's words, but felt that his heart was half cold.Hastily unfolded from Yan Zhuo's embrace, knelt on the ground, and said: "This minister is not doing his job well, please punish him by Your Majesty."

However, before his knee touched the ground, he was grabbed by Yan Zhuo.Yan Zhuo hugged him into his arms and said: "What is the national teacher kneeling on me for? Is it possible that I will still blame you?"

Bai Yu's face was slightly red, and he said: "Chen, I was also afraid that His Majesty was too tired recently, so I didn't play such trivial matters..."

Yan Zhuo lowered his head, lightly bit Bai Yu's lips, and said, "National teacher don't need to worry too much, this king is going to conquer the world, the lord of the world, how can such trivial matters disturb your mind?" ?”

Bai Yu lowered his head slightly, but just remained silent.After a long while, Fang said: "Your Majesty has such lofty ambitions, and the late emperor will be very relieved to know about them."

After hearing this, Yan Jue just sneered and said, "What does my father know? Leaving Lingqiu as a great country, I don't know how to expand the territory. I only know how to be content with pleasure. It really is a waste of Lingqiu, a land of immortals and gods. However, I am different, what Beichen, what Guijiang, those lands, the king will get them sooner or later. I want this Shenzhou Huaxia, only Lingqiu is left."

Bai Yu didn't answer, but just looked at him quietly.There was no joy or anger in the rippling eyes, but the scales moved slightly, as if they touched something.

The next day at Shenshi, there will be a big banquet in the Flower Palace.

Shen Cheng lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at the cold eyes of the man on the throne who were almost devouring everything.

He originally thought that since he was the king of Lingqiu Kingdom, he would be a gentle and gentle person like Bai Yu.Unexpectedly, the calmness contained in that person's cold eyes made him feel so cold.

With just a glance at the past, Shen Chengqian knew that this King of Lingqiu would not be a good person, he must be a man full of ambition and cold-hearted.

In the middle of the flower hall, Yan Zhuo was sitting on the throne, with Bai Yu kneeling beside him.

Sitting opposite Long Chenyu, Shen Chengqian was obediently keeping his mouth shut.He thinks he is a little clever, but his little wisdom is of no use in this kind of diplomatic occasion where a word can make a storm.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yan Juan and Long Chenyu began to greet each other.

Yan Zhuo first opened his mouth and said: "I don't want the new Lord Beichen to be so benevolent. The Lingqiu is just a small piece of land on the sea, and he has troubled the Beichen National Army to send such treasures. The Lingqiu is short of supplies, but there is nothing to repay. This king Really ashamed."

Long Chenyu replied: "Lingqiu is a land of bliss and wonderland, and there are no disputes all year round, but our country's monarch admires this place very much, and this time he intends to make friends with His Majesty."

"The general will go back and express his deep gratitude on behalf of the king."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Long Mou will definitely convey His Majesty's wishes for the good fortune of the two countries."

Shen Chengqian didn't know that Long Chenyu would be such an eloquent person.

But during the conversation between the two, they really couldn't hear any clues, and what they told each other was nothing more than perfunctory diplomatic rhetoric.

Regarding the disappearance of someone in Huangling City, where should we start?

In the end, who was behind that weird incident that caused disaster to the country?

Shen Chengqian didn't know.

He was raising his glass and sipping warm wine, but suddenly Ting Yanjuan pointed him out: "Master Su Wen talked a lot on the battlefield, but now at the banquet, why are you so reticent?"

Shen Chengqian was slightly startled, for some reason, he always felt that there was no good intention in Yan Zhuo's words.

So, he had no choice but to reply: "When Shen came to Lingqiu this time, he realized how shallow his vision was in the past. Shen originally thought that Beichen could be regarded as a big country with a vast territory. Only when he came to Lingqiu this time did he realize that there are so many people. I have never seen so many exquisite things, but I am still thinking about those rare and exotic plants in the imperial garden just now, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Master Shen's words are so beautiful, how can I blame him?" Yan Zhuo said indifferently. "How can Lingqiu compare with Beichen's land and resources. But since the two of you are here this time, you don't need to be formal, just wander around the palace as you like."

Shen Chengqian just wanted to thank you.

But he only listened to Yan Jue and said:

"Could it be that this king has something else that I want to hide from you?"

In a blink of an eye, it was night again.

In Lingsu Palace, Shen Chengqian sat opposite Long Chenyu, after a long time, Shen Chengqian said: "General, what do you mean by what Emperor Ling said?"

Long Chenyu lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "Can't you hear that? He must already know the purpose of our trip. This new Lingdi is different from the past. He is no longer the one who is indifferent and desireless. An immortal who has no desires. You can see that between his brows, he is clearly full of hostility and ambition."

"You said, will he attack us?"

Long Chenyu shook his head and said: "That's not true. If we die in Lingqiu Palace for no reason at this moment, then Lingqiu will be involved. If Yan Zhuo kills us easily, there will be wars and frictions." I don't think so. I think he is not ready for everything now, so he shouldn't be so restless."

Shen Cheng slightly frowned, and nodded slightly.

Long Chenyu looked at his pitiful appearance, quickly embraced him lightly, and said: "Why, are you afraid?"

Shen Chengqian didn't nod his head, but said: "Now I know that it's easy to hide with open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. This kind of conspiratorial flattery and suspicion are more terrifying than real swords and guns on the battlefield. .”

Long Chenyu was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by the sound of panicked footsteps outside the door.

The sound of footsteps was very clear in this quiet moonlit night, Shen Chengqian obviously heard it too, stood up and looked out along the crack of the window pane.

Through the gap, Shen Chengqian could vaguely see a young boy standing beside the flower bed outside Lingsu Palace. At this moment, he was crying, looking very pitiful.

Seeing that he was just a child, Shen Cheng pushed the window open and asked softly, "Who are you? Why are you crying outside Lingsu Palace?"

When the little boy saw Shen Chengqian, he rushed to the window and said, "My lord, save me! There are monsters in this palace!"

"monster?"

"Yes! I just walked through that corridor with Shui'er, and when I turned around, he was gone! He must have been captured by a monster!"

The author has something to say: The Lingqiu chapter does not fight wars, what it tells is a poignant and beautiful suspenseful story...
