I am a ruler in troubled times

"Flute puppet?" Song Peiyu subconsciously grasped the corner of Song Jinyu's clothes, not understanding why things suddenly started to develop in a supernatural direction.

After being reincarnated, it was hard for Song Peiyu not to be in awe of ghosts and gods.

Song Jinyu didn't hear Song Peiyu's reply for a long time, she felt strange and turned her head to look, only to find that Song Peiyu's face turned pale again, and she was leaning against him desperately.Song Jinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and took out a palm-sized flute that looked like a jade pendant from his sleeve and showed it to Song Peiyu, "The flute puppet I mentioned is a dead man raised with a special method. What are you thinking?"

Song Peiyu's fingers holding the corner of Song Jinyu's clothes gradually turned red, and she looked at Song Jinyu accusingly, "You said that girl died a long time ago, how could I not think about it elsewhere."

"What's the difference between her and being dead?" Song Jinyu said coldly, "Look at the girl's five or six-year-old appearance, but her bones are actually over twenty, older than the woman who was holding her."

Song Peiyu recalled the scene that day, and was sure that the girl's admiration for the woman could not be faked, and some naive and childish reactions were also very natural. She was shocked and said dryly, "Then how could she become like that."

Song Jinyu looked at Song Peiyu's ugly face, and told Song Peiyu about the training process of flute puppet without any concealment.

Look for children under the age of seven, and let them practice martial arts with the designated decoction, so that those children will never grow up again, and will gradually lose their memory and thinking ability under the influence of the decoction.

This process will drive a large number of people who are too emotionally sensitive directly into madness, and only a small number of people can become blank paper under the influence of drugs.

However, the latter process will only be more difficult.

The flute puppet is naturally a puppet controlled by the flute.

The only way to turn a person who has become a blank sheet of paper and loses the ability to think into an obedient puppet is the punishment that goes deep into the soul.Even if they are crazy, these flute puppets will still accept orders instinctively because of the pain.

No matter how harmless or even disabled the flute puppet is, once it hears the sound of the flute, it will instantly become the scariest killer.They have only one purpose, and that is to kill the target with one blow.

They don't even need weapons, because they are the sharpest weapons themselves.

"The founding emperor of the former dynasty believed that the training method of the flute puppet was against the harmony of heaven, and ordered that no family should be allowed to train the flute puppet again, and destroyed all the materials related to the flute puppet. Unexpectedly, after 300 years, the flute puppet is still not extinct." Song Jinyu closed his eyes halfway, and he didn't know whether the sneer on his mouth was directed at the former founding emperor or the people who were still cultivating flute puppets.

Song Peiyu digested the information in Song Jinyu's words quietly, pointed to the emerald green flute in Song Peiyu's hand and said, "But once the person who controls the flute puppet starts to play the flute, not everyone will know that there is a flute puppet, do you need to be prepared?"

Song Jinyu stretched his hand forward again, "What's the sound of blowing?"

Song Peiyu retreated again and again, her eyes full of disgust.

Seeing this, Song Jinyu didn't force herself, instead she put the flute by her mouth.

The flute found that day had already been destroyed, and the one in Song Jinyu's hand was just a fake made by Emperor Yonghe.

Song Jinyu played for a long time, but Song Peiyu didn't hear any sound. If the two of them were not so close, Song Peiyu would have suspected that Song Jinyu was playing the flute to tease him.

"This..." A flash of light flashed in Song Peiyu's mind, "Can the flute puppet hear voices we can't hear?"

Song Jinyu showed admiration and confirmed Song Peiyu's guess, "Among the assassins in Riyang County that day, only the little girl was a flute puppet, the woman and the person who manipulated the little girl were dead soldiers, and the others were real refugees who were instigated. Your Majesty Although the person in charge found the person who manipulated the little girl in time under the reminder of the third prince and snatched the flute, he failed to stop the person from taking the poison. The only evidence so far points to Chen Guo, who is entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River, but it makes His Majesty happy Don't worry about it easily."

Song Peiyu quickly recalled the news about Chen Guo.

Back then, when the Turks went south, the previous court fought and retreated. They ran all the way to the south of the Yangtze River and handed over the northern land to the Turks.

However, the previous dynasty did not stabilize because of this. Forty emperors changed in just 20 years, but all the males of the royal family, whether they were seventy-year-olds or babies who were only three days old, had sat on the throne.

Ten years later, the last emperor of the previous dynasty passed away, and there was no more male with the blood of the previous dynasty, and the previous dynasty was completely destroyed.

Now Xu and Yangzhou are called Chen Guo, and the emperor comes from the original Yangzhou family Xue.

There are at least two countries separated from Chen State, Yan State and Zhao State. Whether the assassination of Emperor Yonghe is successful or not, there is no benefit for them. Instead, it may strengthen the neighboring countries. No wonder Emperor Yonghe hesitated.

"So, you don't have to keep thinking about this matter anymore, will you still have nightmares after so long?" Song Jinyu whispered.

Song Peiyu was stunned for a moment before realizing that Song Jinyu was talking about the lie he told in a hurry.Touching the box that hurt his back, Song Peiyu smirked and begged Song Jinyu to accompany him for dinner.

He just turned over a big boat, but he can't turn over a small boat again.

Otherwise, even if his dead father came back to life, he would have to be punished today.

Song Jinyu originally didn't intend to eat anymore, but he mostly socialized at palace banquets, and he was mostly drinking. Seeing that Song Peiyu ate deliciously, he couldn't help but add another bowl of rice.

The two brothers insisted that the small kitchen add another dish before putting down their chopsticks in satisfaction.

After filling his stomach, the day's sleepiness also came up. Song Jinyu had already showered and washed briefly when changing clothes, and he didn't bother to go back to his yard at this time. Anyway, Song Peiyu was pretending to be sick, so he rested at Song Peiyu's place.

Song Peiyu, who was sure that the box on the bed had been moved, welcomed Song Jinyu to stay overnight. When Song Jinyu said about flute puppet, he accidentally lost his mind. Take it back □□.

Song Jinyu was willing to stay, of course it couldn't be better.

The next day, Song Jinyu was going to court early in the morning, and Song Peiyu simply got up, danced a set of sword skills to strengthen her body, and went to greet Mrs. Song for breakfast in high spirits.

This time, I didn't come back until noon.

Song Peiyu was not able to escape until Mrs. Song was exhausted and had to take a lunch break.

Back at Tianhuju, Song Peiyu received news from Song Jinyu's messenger.

Song Jinyu had already declined to be the third prince's companion for him. The third prince himself didn't have any opinion about it. Although Emperor Yonghe regretted it, he didn't force it. This matter is over.

But not being the third prince's companion, doesn't mean Song Peiyu can continue to do nothing at home.

Goatee, who came to send a letter to Song Peiyu, took out a folded paper from his sleeve and handed it to Song Peiyu, "Your Majesty chose seven teenagers who are about the same age as the third prince to go to school with the third prince. The Patriarch asked me to explain this carefully to you." The origins of the seven, you will have to meet and socialize with them in the future."

Song Peiyu opened the paper nimbly with her fingers, and her gaze rested on the "Wei Zhiyuan" at the end, feeling a little familiar.

Goatee thanked Song Peiyu for the seat and tea and snacks, and sat down opposite Song Peiyu generously, starting with the names at the top of the list.

"The Lu family has prospered in Youzhou for three dynasties. Even for His Majesty, in the early years, his attitude was indifferent and he was only willing to take advantage of it. It was not until His Majesty officially proclaimed the emperor that Lu's attitude eased a little, allowing clansmen and sects to People serve His Majesty. Lu Jihe is one year older than Qiye, he is the youngest son of the Lu family head, and he has been favored since he was a child, so Lu Jihe is inevitably proud of it."

"Luo Yong is the third younger brother of the Yuan Dynasty, the youngest son of General Jianning. He was raised by Chengenhou and his wife since he was a child. Although the talent for martial arts has followed General Jianning, his impulsive and irritable temperament is not at all like General Jianning. Since General Jianning returned to Xianyang with His Majesty, Luo Yong had already suffered a lot of beatings, Cheng Enhou and his wife would fight every time because of their grandson and General Jianning, even the Patriarch had heard about it."

……

The more Song Peiyu heard it, the more she felt that it was a very correct decision for her to refuse to be the third prince's companion.

All of them are either the youngest sons or the eldest sons, or the young sons of the Yan family.

Ping Zhang, who has the worst status, his father died in battle to save Emperor Yonghe, and he has been with the third prince since he was a child.

Song Peiyu even felt that if these people had bad tempers, and with the third prince's temper, it would not be impossible for them to fight and even splatter blood on the spot.

"The last is General Jianyuan's only son, Wei Zhiyuan. He is very popular. In the barracks in the past, everyone who got along with him liked him very much. Qiye doesn't have to worry about not being able to get along with Wei Zhiyuan." Goat Hu smiled. road.

Song Peiyu lowered his eyelashes, arched his slender fingers, and tapped on the table one after another. This was a movement he only made when he was upset.

He always felt that there was very important information that he ignored, but he still couldn't find the key point.

This feeling of being up and down in mid-air really makes people unable to relax.

Goatee didn't notice Song Peiyu's abnormality, so he took a sip of tea and continued, "Besides, the eldest princess and the head of Huiyang County will also be listening in the school. The eldest princess is the eldest daughter of King Su and Princess Su, and the head of Huiyang County is the daughter of the son-in-law. .”

Song Peiyu withdrew her hand from the table, huddled in the chair, and said in a muffled voice, "What is the name of the head of Huiyang County?"

Asking the girl's name in the boudoir is a taboo, but the goatee didn't even move his eyebrows, and wrote three words on the table with his fingers dipped in tea.

Cui Xianyi

After the goatee left the study, Song Peiyu covered her head in pain.

He remembered why the name Wei Zhiyuan was so familiar, and Cui Xianyi, the head of Huiyang County, were all cannon fodder from the novel he read before crossing.
