Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

Yin Chengyu staggered his eyes and avoided his gaze.

In his previous life, he always felt that Xue Shu's eyes were too deep and deep, and there were too many indistinct emotions in it. Whenever he looked at him, it seemed that he owed him eight lifetimes of debts, which was unpleasant.

Today's Xue Shu's eyes are much more straightforward when looking at people, without so much deep affection, almost nakedly writing: rewards.

Such a small matter, but I am ashamed to ask for a reward.

Yin Chengyu snorted coldly in his heart, deliberately stopped looking at him, and shifted his gaze to the group of people who rushed to the rear.

——The Taoist Wangchen finally arrived.

Wearing a cassock and holding a mahogany sword, he has the appearance of a Taoist master.

"Where is the demon fox? The poor Taoist came to collect it—"

It's just that he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and the expression he stared at the demon fox's corpse was not serious, it was a bit funny.

Yin Chengyu glanced at him, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yin Chengjing, who was in the crowd with an ugly face, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a subtle way.

Before everyone could react, the indifferent expression on his face changed instantly, and he quickly stepped forward to help Emperor Longfeng who fell on the ground with a worried face, looked at the silent Taoist Wangchen, and said softly: "The demon fox has already Fu Zhu, you don’t have to bother the Taoist priest.” He said and looked at Gao Xian who was on the side: “Please trouble Eunuch Gao to pass on the chariot, Commander Gong, and you send people to search around carefully. Make trouble, don't let the thieves who make trouble run away..."

He made arrangements in a row, calm in the face of danger, and fully grasped the appearance of a filial son, and the rest of the people came back to their senses slowly.

Jin Yiwei immediately dispersed to search for suspicious persons; the courtiers didn't care about arranging their clothes, and rushed to surround him, caring about Emperor Longfeng's body and showing their loyalty.

Emperor Longfeng, who was surrounded by everyone, had an ugly expression on his face.

He was almost attacked, and he lost such a big man in public, even though he was feeling palpitated and flustered at the moment, he was unwilling to leave just like that, he always wanted to save some face.

"That demon fox has been punished?" Emperor Longfeng took up the posture of a king of a country, and took two steps forward to kick the beast. When he came close, he saw the blood all over the ground, and stopped hesitantly, and looked at it half a step away. with.

"Return to Your Majesty, the beast is dead."

It wasn't until Xue Shu replied that everyone's eyes focused on him again.

Emperor Longfeng also looked at him, saw the clothes on his body, and asked casually: "Are you from Dongchang? This time you killed the demon fox and saved him. You should be rewarded."

Gao Yuan, the admiral of the East Factory, was overjoyed when he heard the words, and was about to go forward to ask for credit, when Xue Shu replied, neither humble nor overbearing: "I am on duty in the West Factory, and it is my duty to protect His Majesty, so I dare not ask for credit." After finishing speaking, he paused , with a look of hesitation: "And... that's not a demon fox, but a wild wolf."

The smile on Gao Yuan's face stopped, looking at Xue Shu who was covered in blood, his heart skipped a beat.

The West Factory has been suppressed by the East Factory for a long time, and the good seedlings are closely followed by the East Factory. When did the West Factory produce such a number one person?

"Wild wolf?"

Emperor Longfeng's expression turned bright immediately, and he looked suspiciously at the corpse on the ground.

The beast was not only much larger than ordinary foxes, but even larger than wild wolves.The appearance is also very strange, the staring eyeballs are blood red, and the long canine teeth bared out of the lips, looking very ferocious.Judging from the appearance and size alone, it really doesn't look like a fox.

But it doesn't look like a wolf.

Only the legendary fox can grow into such a terrifying appearance.

"The green light on this demon fox's body has dissipated." Yin Chengyu stepped forward at the right time, knelt down and touched the corpse, and when he saw the red on his fingers, he immediately smiled.He spread out his palms for everyone to see: "This red is dyed."

I saw mottled red dye all over his palm.

Yin Chengyu approached and smelled it, and said firmly, "It's ocher. As for the red mist and green will-o'-the-wisp before, I have seen similar methods in the market."

"There is Xiao Xiao who dares to pretend to be a ghost in the palace!" Emperor Longfeng was furious when he heard the words, and his gloomy eyes pierced Gong Hongfei, the commander of Jin Yiwei: "Could it be that the imperial army are all trash?! Didn't notice it at all?!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Unexpectedly, the anger suddenly burned on him, Gong Hongfei secretly groaned, and immediately bowed his head and confessed.

Who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to pretend to be a ghost in the Forbidden Palace?

"Father, calm down. Commander Gong is probably not to blame for this matter." Yin Chengyu wiped his fingers slowly, and poured a bucket of oil on the fire: "I heard that when Grandpa Huang was still alive, some rebels used this juggling weapon Entering the palace to assassinate with a blind eye. Could it be that the person who is planning this demon fox incident is... the remnant of a thief during Xiaozong's reign?"

He was full of worry: "Who would have thought that after so many years, these traitors are still alive."

Emperor Xiaozong was the grandfather of Yin Chengyu and the father of Emperor Longfeng.

When he was in power, he was licentious and brutal, not only the courtiers suffered, but the people also suffered for a long time.At that time, some civil righteous men disguised themselves as jugglers and sneaked into the palace to assassinate.

Naturally, this assassination failed to scare the violent Emperor Xiaozong, but at this moment, it was enough to become a thorn in Emperor Longfeng's heart.

When Xiaozong was in power, there were hundreds of assassinations, large and small.The government called these assassins rebellious officials and thieves, but the folks called them loyal men, not to mention secretly worshiping them, and some people joined them one after another.It wasn't until Emperor Xiaozong passed away and Emperor Longfeng succeeded to the throne, heeded Yu Huai'an's suggestion and adopted the strategy of appease the people, which restored the reputation of the royal family and quelled civil turmoil.

Now that Yin Chengyu deliberately brought up the past, and pointed the perpetrators to Xiaozong's remnants, the cowardly Emperor Longfeng would never expose this matter lightly.

He lowered his eyes, the thick crow-black eyelashes blocked the dark light in his eyes, carefully wiped off the last red spot on his fingertips, and casually threw the handkerchief to the little eunuch who was serving him.

When Emperor Longfeng heard the words, surprise flashed across his face: "Check! Make sure to find out who is behind the scenes!"

His eyes swept over Gong Hongfei and Gao Yuan, and finally landed on Xue Shu, as if weighing.

"Leave this matter to Xichang, just you! You go and investigate!" Finally he nodded to Xue Shu: "I will give you ten days to return to me with the head of the thief."

Xue Shu knelt down to receive the order.

Gong Hongfei and Gao Yuan looked ugly, but they didn't dare to make trouble at this time.

Something happened in the palace, but His Majesty didn't hand it over to Jin Yiwei or Dongchang, but handed it over to an unknown soldier in the West Factory. What this means is self-evident.

At least at this moment, the emperor no longer trusted them.

After Emperor Longfeng got angry, he felt that his whole body was in vain, so he didn't stay any longer, got on his chariot and drove back to Qianqing Palace.

The good New Year's Eve banquet was messed up, and the courtiers who attended the banquet dispersed with their hearts hanging.

As the crown prince, Yin Chengyu stayed until the end before leaving.

It was a farce, time had already passed midnight, and the sky began to snow again at some unknown time, Yin Chengyu was a little afraid of the cold, and gathered the skirt of his cloak.

Seeing this, Zheng Duobao took a step forward to shield him from the wind, and said worriedly: "Your Highness, do you want to avoid the wind and snow here? I will pass on the chariot."

"It's only a few steps away." Yin Chengyu breathed out and shook his head.

Huangji Hall is not far from Ciqing Palace, they took a small path and passed through the middle left gate, and it took only half a quarter of an hour to get there.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, Yin Chengyu couldn't help speeding up his pace, and when he was about to approach the middle left door, he saw a vague figure standing beside the door.

Zheng Duobao was taken aback, fearing that he ran into the fleeing assassin, he and his guards quickly protected Yin Chengyu behind him, and said sharply, "Who is in front?"

The other party didn't answer, he was about to ask Zhao Lin to go forward to check, but he heard Yin Chengyu behind him say: "Stand back, you're not an assassin."

He took a step forward and looked at the man through the wind and snow: "Xue Shu, you don't go back to treat the wound, what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, his tone became unhappy again.

Hearing him call his name, Xue Shu started to move, walked up to him in two steps, and called out "Your Highness" in a low voice.

The blood on his face hadn't been wiped off, and the wound on his left arm hadn't been healed. The whole person looked in a state of distress, but a pair of dark eyes were shining brightly, making people think of a lone wolf hunting at night, so he added a few more words. Very indescribable arrogance.

Yin Chengyu glanced at his wound, and frowned: "What's the matter?"

"I did everything Your Highness said." He fixedly looked at Yin Chengyu, licked his dry lips, the intention of coming was clearly written on his face.

Yin Chengyu had never been chased for a reward, especially by Xue Shu.

This made him suddenly feel absurd.

Who is Xue Shu?

With hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in his hands, eyes and ears spread all over the world, his power and status are unmatched, even the king of a country must be subordinated to him.

For a person like him, he always takes what he wants.

Power, status, even including him.

But now, the future Nine Thousand Years, braved the wind and snow, and waited in front of the middle left gate for an unknown amount of time, just to ask for a reward from him.

This recognition greatly pleased Yin Chengyu, and even his brows and eyes became gentler.

"You did a good job this time, what reward do you want? I will try my best to satisfy you."

"I don't want to be in Xichang, but I want to serve His Highness." Xue Shu looked straight at Yin Chengyu without any shyness, his eyes filled with longing.

It's not about lust, but it's also irritating.

This wolfish and ambitious person really can't give half a good face!

Yin Chengyu lowered his brows coldly, and brushed past him with a flick of his sleeves, his angry voice was blurred by the wind and snow: "No!"

For the rest of my life, I will just stay in Xichang honestly and serve him!

Yin Chengyu's figure quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.

Xue Shuding stood there for a while before returning to the West Factory.

Today, he has done a good job in escorting him, and he has been reused by His Majesty. Everyone in the West Factory changed their previous cold eyes and sarcasm, and they were more polite to him from top to bottom. Even the Datong shop was replaced by a separate room.

Xue Shu rejected his colleague's proposal to invite an imperial doctor to see his injury, took the medicine and went into the room.

The wound on the arm was a bit deep, and the animal's paws were stained with a lot of dirt, which was left in the flesh and blood of the wound at this time, and it needed to be cleaned up.

Such injuries are common to him, Xue Shu washed the wound with shochu over and over again with no expression on his face, until the blood that flowed out was bright red, and then he applied medicine to bandage it.

After washing and changing into clean clothes, he took out a plain white handkerchief to play with.

The handkerchief was used by Yin Chengyu, and it was still stained with mottled red dye.After Yin Chengyu finished using it, he threw it to the little eunuch. Xue Shu caught a glimpse of it, and asked for it by accident.

Gently rubbing the soft cloth with the fingertips, Xue Shu recalled Yin Chengyu wiping his fingers with a handkerchief.

Those hands were very white, with slender fingers and well-defined joints, without any flaws, as if carved from high-quality suet white jade.It was obviously the same as its owner, exuding a superior coldness, but it happened to be flushed at the fingertips, adding a bit of ecstasy.

Xue Shu felt the softness of his fingertips, and lowered his eyes to think:

Are His Highness's hands as soft as this handkerchief?

Yin Chengyu returned to Ciqing Palace, but his anger had not dissipated.

He only knew that Xue Shu was bold, but he didn't know that he dared to be so presumptuous in such a situation!

If it weren't for the fact that he had just made a meritorious service and was injured again, he would have to be dragged out and beaten with a few big boards as a punishment!

Zheng Duobao led someone to prepare hot water for bathing and came in. Seeing that he was still unhappy, he guessed that he was probably still unhappy about what happened just now.Although he didn't understand why His Majesty, who has always been good-tempered, targeted Xue Shu alone, but this did not prevent him from making suggestions for His Majesty: "Then Xue Shu really doesn't know his identity, so I want you to find an excuse, my lord." Punishment?"

Although in his opinion, Xue Shu didn't want to stay in Xichang, and wanted to serve His Highness by his side, his vision was really good.

But it was his fault that His Highness was unhappy because of this.

Zheng Duobao took the initiative to share his worries, but Yin Chengyu hesitated instead.

The animal was quite strong, Xue Shusheng got a paw, but he didn't know the severity of the injury.Anger is anger, but after the anger is over, he also knows that he is only angry because of the things in his previous life.

Xue Shu didn't do anything in this life, and when he said he wanted to serve him by his side, it didn't mean anything.

"Forget it, at least I have made meritorious service." Yin Chengyu sighed: "Tomorrow morning, you go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Imperial Physician Liu to take a look at him. Don't delay the injury, and he will be needed later."

Zheng Duobao replied yes, but he thought in his heart that he had never seen His Highness so capricious.

The author has something to say:

Xue Shu: I'm injured, I need His Highness to kiss me before I get up.

Yin Chengyu:?

Yin Chengyu: Get lost:)
