I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Chu Yuzhao had already arrived at the northern border with the leading cavalry. Now that Ning Zuo had been captured, the most urgent task was to defend Jindu City.

Under his leadership, the soldiers withstood several attacks by the Dager people, and kept Jindu City and tens of thousands of people. Only when the follow-up army arrives, when the time comes, the troops will go out together inside and outside the city, and will surround the city. Then they killed Ning Zuo, where the army was stationed, and recaptured the city.

But it seems that everything is sure to win, but the follow-up army has yet to arrive, and the Fetion letter sent has also disappeared, and no reply has been received.

Left Prime Minister Xin Yuan and Liu Huaifu immediately sensed that something was wrong, and told the matter to Chu Yu, who was temporarily in charge of the country.Chu Yu sent people to the general's mansion and brought the family members of General Hong Tao who led the army into the palace.

On the surface it was to bring the safety of the palace, but in reality they were hostages. If General Hong Tao had any dissatisfaction, then hundreds of people from the general's family would be the bargaining chips to blackmail him into obeying orders.

Chu Yu dealt with the matter swiftly and swiftly, and the palace seemed to be in order again, but one day Liu Huai's mansion was not in a hurry to leave, and even found a chance to run into Yuan Fu in the East Garden.

"Lord Liu." Yuan Fu saluted respectfully.

Liu Huaifu twirled a plum blossom on the tip, and said with a smile: "I have heard that the winter in the imperial garden is very beautiful, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom. I have seen such a beautiful plum garden when I was the magistrate in Huzhou. By the way, Yuan Father-in-law, have you ever been to Huzhou?"

"I've never been there before." Yuan Fu said.

"Oh, if you have a chance, you must go to Huzhou. You can see plums in winter, and you can taste porcupine fish in summer. The fish is plump and tender. The Haoji Building by the Zhu River is good at cooking fish. The taste of the fish..." Liu Huaifu sighed in admiration , "I have thought a lot of ways to learn the method of cooking fish. Even if I am not in Huzhou, I can still taste the taste of Wu Jilou. If there is a chance, I will definitely give it to His Majesty."

When Yuan Fu usually met this Mr. Liu, he would just greet him politely and never had a conversation.Some couldn't figure out why he suddenly became so talkative, saying something about Huzhou plum and fish to himself.

However, Yuan Fu is only serving Luo Bai now, but he used to follow Emperor Zhao. He has seen a lot about the affairs of the harem and the court, and has also experienced narrow escapes and open and secret battles.

Seeing that Liu Huai's mansion seemed to be very interested in talking, his heart skipped a beat, he turned around and said to the following servants: "You go first, the miscellaneous family will discuss with Mr. Liu how to make fish."

"Yes."

The servants didn't suspect him, turned around and left.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Liu Huaifu immediately put on a solemn expression, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Take Luo Bai and leave the palace quickly, I guess Chu Yu has rebelled."

Seeing Yuan Fu suddenly raised his head to look at him, Liu Huaifu said again: "The Imperial Forest Army in the palace has been replaced, and all I see these days are unfamiliar faces."

Yuan Fu's eyes widened, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Someone is watching us from a distance." Liu Huai's mansion folded a branch of plum and held it in his hand with a casual posture, but the words he said were all shocking words: "I didn't see Zuo Xiang when I went to court yesterday, It is said that he is sick, and I went to visit the Prime Minister's mansion, but I couldn't even enter the door, and those servants are not the original people in his mansion."

"The carrier pigeons were shot and killed within a mile, and the gates of the city were also guarded, and they were only allowed to enter but not to exit. This morning, my cronies sneaked into the city and said that several vassal kings had assembled and were leading troops to and from the capital. , should arrive tomorrow.”

"The feudal king and Chu Yu are together?"

Although Yuan Fu still had expectations, Liu Huaifu's words shattered his fantasy in an instant.

"They are together and have been premeditated for a long time. I suspect that Dagel's sudden attack on the border was also colluded with them in order to lure His Majesty away. Now that there is a drastic change in the palace, the news cannot reach His Majesty, and the officials are all stared at to death. You can move freely now, take Luo Bai out of the palace, and I will find a way to send a letter to the border."

Yuan Fu was terrified in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions, and his expression didn't show any strangeness. He just pinched his palm tightly, and after talking and laughing for a few more words, they parted ways and left.

Luo Bai was looking for straws everywhere these two days, but he didn't see any in the palace, so he planned to look for it when he left the palace.

Today he climbed up to the attic where he could see the palace gate, and he went downstairs when his eyes were sore. He wanted to go to the garden, but seeing soldiers with knives standing everywhere, he didn't want to go there.

He wondered why there were so many people in the garden, and turned his head frequently as he walked forward, only to find that several soldiers had followed him, not far behind him.

He stopped and walked, and walked to the main hall of Qiande Palace before he knew it.

Looking at the magnificent red lacquered gate, remembering how his brother usually sat inside, he couldn't help but walked up the steps.

"Stop, you can't go in." Those soldiers rushed up and stopped him with a fierce tone.

Luo Bai used to go in whenever he wanted, but when he was suddenly stopped, he said in a panic: "It's me, I'm Luo Bai."

He has never seen these soldiers who have been following him before, and he did not let go after hearing his self-introduction: "What Luobai is not Luobai, whoever you are, the important place of the hall, you can enter it whenever you want? Leave immediately Here, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

"You guys are so fierce." Luo Bai was a little unhappy, "The older guards in the past allowed me to go in."

A soldier was about to speak when he heard a clear male voice from the hall: "Let him in."

Hearing this familiar voice, Luo Bai was immediately surprised and delighted, looked in through the gap between the two guards, and asked loudly: "Wang Feng, are you inside? I heard your voice."

The soldiers moved out of the way, Luo Bai hurried in, and as soon as he stepped through the gate of the hall, he saw Chu Yu sitting on the large dragon chair at the head of the hall.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be here." Luo Bai smiled.

Chu Yu sat very slack, leaning against the back of the chair, supporting his head with one hand, spinning a dagger with the other, and resting his feet on the front table.

Luo Bai looked around and saw that there was no one else in the hall except Chu Yu, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Why are you sitting here alone? Where are those old men?"

"One person is good, one person is clean, and the old men are all driven away." Chu Yu still replied lazily, but looked up at Luo Bai.

Luo Bai was still smiling at first, but when he caught his gaze, he was slightly taken aback, and his smile also subsided by two points.

Although his mind is weak, he is very sensitive to people. He just feels that Chu Yu seems to have changed. His expression and eyes are no longer so friendly, showing a coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away.

"But this hall is not lively at all, it seems that every word echoes, haha." Luo Bai laughed twice.

Chu Yu beckoned to him: "Come and sit."

Luo Bai hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, stepped up the square steps made of white marble, and stood beside the dragon seat.

Chu Yu patted her side again: "Sit."

The dragon chair under him is very wide, it can indeed seat two people, Luo Bai leaned over and sat on the empty seat a little cautiously.

"My brother often sits on it, but this chair is not easy to sit on. It's a little hard, not soft and comfortable." Luo Bai always felt that this chair was very majestic, and he didn't realize that his voice became much quieter.

Chu Yu played with the dagger, and said in a casual tone: "Is it? I also think this dragon chair is too difficult to sit on, and it is not comfortable at all. But this is a truth that even a fool can understand, and no one in the world can bear it. For such a chair Broken chairs, people are not human and ghosts are not ghosts, people are burned, and blood flows like rivers."

He turned his head to look at Luo Bai, and smiled lightly again: "Of course, the unbreakable people include me."

His smile didn't reach his eyes, but added a bit of cruelty to that handsome face, making Luo Bai feel that he was a little strange.What's more, he also mentioned a fool in his words, Luo Bai felt even more uncomfortable when he heard the word fool.

Just talk, why do you say I'm a fool?

Usually irrelevant people call him a fool, but he regards Chu Yu as a friend.He was really sad to be called a fool by his friend outright.

"I'm leaving." Luo Bai got up with a straight face and wanted to leave.

Chu Yu glanced at him coldly: "I haven't allowed you to go, so you can't go, why don't you try?"

He had a sinister expression, his eyes revealed a cold murderous intent, and he was spinning a sharp dagger in his hand, as if Luo Bai just took a step, and the dagger would pierce through his chest without hesitation.

Suddenly, a puff of cold air came out of Luo Bai's back, and he stood there without moving, and forgot to talk back.

Chu Yu just stared at him for a moment, then suddenly laughed again: "What's the matter? Are you angry? Why are you so angry? Come, come, sit down, and talk to me for a while."

He returned to his previous cynical appearance, looking kind and harmless, and the ferocity just now seemed to be just an illusion.But Luo Bai became vigilant, not only did not smile, but also avoided his sight and looked aside.

"Come here." Seeing him standing still, Chu Yu gradually suppressed the smile on his face.

Although Luo Bai didn't dare to talk back, he moved back half a step.

"I really just want to chat with you for a while. After all, no one who can listen to me is gone..." Chu Yu's tone gradually fell, and he looked down at the dagger in his hand, "Last night, I was under that old willow tree. I played the flute all night, but that person would never appear behind me again, he sat quietly on the rock and listened, put a cloak on me, and said that it was getting cold, go back quickly, don’t freeze.”

His voice was full of loneliness and loss, and there was also some imperceptible pain. After Luo Bai felt this, he suddenly felt a little understanding and sympathy, so he stopped resisting so much and stood still.

"Everyone looks down on me and thinks I'm a waste who only knows how to fight cocks and chase dogs." Chu Yu suddenly slapped the chair next to him hard, looked up at Luo Bai, his eyes were red, and he said through gritted teeth: "But Do you know? If I didn't act like a waste, then I wouldn't be alive today, and I wouldn't be able to sit here, my bones would have been buried in the imperial mausoleum long ago, just like Chu Yuce."

When Luo Bai heard him mention Chu Yuce, he couldn't help opening his mouth. This change was caught by Chu Yu, and he slowly put away the loss and grief and anger on his face, showing a warm smile, "I heard that you can see Ghost, Chu Yuce's soul was also sent away by you."

Luo Bai was a little shocked, his expression changed as if he was flipping through a book, first he subconsciously nodded, then quickly shook his head.

He didn't want Chu Yu to know that Chu Yuce had turned into a ghost doll.

But Chu Yu didn't care about his reaction, and casually played with the dagger in his hand.The dagger was very luxurious, with a few huge gemstones inlaid on the scabbard, which reflected dazzling light when it turned in the air.

Luo Bai's eyes stayed on the dagger, and suddenly he saw the pattern on the handle, which made him feel very familiar.He took a closer look and found that it was a golden pentagon.

His memory is not bad, it can be said to be very good, especially imitating human dialogue and remembering patterns.He recognized this pattern at a glance, it was exactly the same as the handkerchief taken out of Chu Yuce's coffin.

Chu Yu noticed his gaze, and then his eyes fell on the handle of the knife, and he picked it up and shook it at Luo Bai: "Know?"

Luo Bai replied honestly: "I don't know, but I have seen this pattern."

Chu Yu turned his head slightly and thought for a while: "Did you see it on the handkerchief in Chu Yuce's coffin?"

"Yeah." Seeing that he actually knew this, Luo Bai admitted.

"People in the world only know that Buddhism has Esoteric Buddhism, and Esoteric Buddhism is divided into two sects, one is Taizang Realm and the other is Vajra Realm, but they don't know that besides these two sects, there is another sect called Zhending Sect. What you saw This pattern represents the Zhending sect. The Zhending sect adheres to the inheritance method of one master and one apprentice, and now it is the seventh generation."

When Chu Yu said this, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he said softly to Luo Bai: "I am the seventh generation disciple of the Zhending sect."

Luo Bai was a little confused when he heard it, but after seeing Chu Yu finished speaking, he stared at him silently, with excited anticipation in his eyes, as if he was waiting for his praise, so he said: "Then you are amazing oh."

Chu Yu couldn't help laughing: "It's amazing? You just think I'm amazing?" After saying this, he suddenly laughed out loud, very happy, and while laughing, he patted his thigh and shook his head frequently: "That's all. , just a fool."

Luo Bai was startled, and suddenly became angry again.

"I'm not a fool, you are a fool." He said to Chu Yu angrily.

Chu Yu's laughter stopped abruptly, and the hall suddenly returned to silence.He stared at Luo Bai with gloomy eyes, his handsome face was twisted ferociously, and his whole body exuded murderous aura.

But Luo Bai was full of anger now, and he was not so afraid of him at the beginning. He thought it was a big deal and fought with him, so he also said fiercely: "You are a fool, you seem to be crying for a while, laughing for a while, and you don't know what to do. Kill me, what is it if you are not a fool?"

After hearing this, Chu Yu was stunned, and after a long while, he murmured distraughtly: "Yeah, I'm the fool, I'm the fool..."

"Look, you're stupid again." Luo Bai said angrily, "Wang Feng, I don't want to play with you, I'm going back, we'll talk about it when you get better."

Chu Yu turned a deaf ear to his words, still immersed in his own thoughts, Luo Bai saw his appearance, stomped his feet, and stepped out of the hall.

After walking out of the hall, he sighed again.

Forget it, I'd better tell Aunt Yuan Fu and ask him to invite the imperial physician to show Wang Feng a look.Although Wang Feng said something that made people angry, he didn't want to argue with a fool.

Luo Bai hurried back to the bedroom, and before he stepped through the door, Yuan Fu dragged him in, looked left and right, and closed the door.

Besides Yuan Fu, there were two young eunuchs standing in the room. One of them Luo Bai had seen before. He was the one who scrambled to make tea for His Majesty when he was in court. His name seemed to be Double Happiness.

When Shuangxi saw him, a look of uneasiness appeared on his face, and his eyes wandered away.

"My lord, you leave the palace immediately, and leave immediately." Yuan Fu's voice was tense, and he took out a small bundle from the cabinet and put it on the table, "Go to Chengxi Wangji Wonton Shop, someone will hide you in a safe place." The place."

Luo Bai looked at the little bundle, and asked blankly, "Aunt Yuan Fu, why should I leave?"

"Liu Huai's mansion has been arrested just now, and the two censors, Zheng Chun and Chen Simi, were also beheaded. A large number of officials were imprisoned in the mansion. The vassal king's army is about to enter the city. It is too dangerous for you to stay, so hurry up. "

While talking, Yuan Fu searched for items to bring, because he was too nervous, his body was shaking all the time.

"What happened? Why was he arrested and beheaded again?" Luo Bai became nervous when he saw Yuan Fu like this.

Yuan Fu didn't talk too much, but said succinctly: "Chu Yu rebelled and wanted to seize your brother's throne. If you are caught, they will use your safety to threaten His Majesty and make him do what he doesn't want to do."

"Ah! Wang Feng? He wants to take my brother's throne? He is really stupid! Stupid!" Luo Bai asked heartbrokenly: "He is so stupid, can't he be drugged?"

Shuangxi couldn't help but looked up at him.

The author has something to say:

You guys are so good, I already guessed that it was Wang Feng, the next chapter is as you wish, Xiao Baobao will go to the north with his straw tied.
