Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Sheng Jia hurried back to the palace, leaving behind a dark silver cloak trimmed with sable fur, saying that it was given to Su Qing to keep out the cold.

With the imperial gift in his arms, Su Yan walked down the steps of the tower step by step, his thoughts still drifting.

Just now and the emperor...how did they kiss each other?Is it the atmosphere at that time, or is it really moving?Immediately afterwards, the gun almost went off. If it wasn't for an accident, I don't know what happened now... If I continue to refuse, will he respect my wishes, or will he give up the principle of not forcing?

Tsk, what did you say, "It's not uncommon to touch it when you're naked."What the hell is she wearing one more thing without taking it off? What was that sticking on her butt just now, a mallet!

Su Yan once again felt a sense of crisis, and felt that he should not trust the other party's self-control too much.It is true that Emperor Jinglong is a rare and self-restraining Mingjun, but he is also a man, so it is impossible for him to be impulsive. It seems that he should try his best to avoid being alone in such an ambiguous atmosphere.

The square was still decorated with lights and festoons. After a brief commotion, the crowd returned to their original state.After all, for ordinary people, the imperial palace is really out of reach. Even if there is a fire, the officers and soldiers will deal with it.

Su Yan walked a dozen or so steps, and suddenly saw Shen Qi standing in a dimly lit place not far away, looking over through the crowd.

This gaze was a solitary lamp in the night, a cold shadow in the lamplight, Su Yan subconsciously stepped forward to meet him, not caring about being seen by the four imperial guards who were secretly protecting him.

He held Shen Qi's hand without hesitation, and called out: "Qilang."

Shen Qi rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb, glanced at the cloak in his arms, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you all right?"

Su Yan knew what he was asking, so he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and replied, "It's okay. By the way, I saw the palace on fire from the tower. Which palace is it?"

Shen Qi said: "It's not clear yet."

Why did this fire happen so coincidentally... Su Yan stared at Shen Qi with a questioning look in his eyes.

Shen Qi shook her head slightly, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Since Shen Qi said no, then it's not.The palace is built of wood, which is flammable, but it may be an accident that there are lights everywhere tonight.

Su Yan walked side by side with him, walked out of the square in the direction of Jinshui Bridge, and talked about things while walking, "I heard that you have been chasing the eight-petal blood lotus mark for the past few days, have you gained anything?"

Shen Qi said: "Because it involved the assassin of Yinjianmen, it was suspected to be related to Jianghu sect, Beizhen Fusi compared it with the emblems of each sect one by one, several patterns were similar, and the suspicion was ruled out after investigation. So far, there is no evidence clue."

"...Maybe, it's not the Jianghu sect?" Su Yan thought after thinking, "Ah Zhui told me some old things about the Yinjianmen and the Seven Killing Camp a few days ago. I think the Seven Killing Camp is worth pondering."

"How to say?"

"Uh, let me tell you this, for example, there is a Zerg in the vast universe."

"Insect... race?"

"Correct."

"What insect, locust? Ant? Praying mantis?"

"Don't worry about the worms, they are all kinds of evil alien monsters. Their organizational structure is very interesting. Countless fast-moving zerg individuals form a swarm army, go deep into the enemy's territory or hunt for food, or kill, but these zerg Everyone has no brains."

"No brains, do you mean bugs are stupid?"

"No, it literally means that they have no brains and no thinking ability. But this does not mean that the Zerg has no wisdom. These Zerg individuals are like countless minions and countless sharp blades, completely controlled and directed by the brain worms. Cerebral worms don't go out easily, and usually only stay in the worm nest, but it has a strong consciousness and can link all worm swarm individuals together."

"What you said is unbelievable. It looks like a demon realm." Shen Qi said, "To say something offensive, I actually thought of... Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands."

Su Yan laughed: "That's kind of interesting. In short, it's just a brain, controlling and linking countless unconscious individuals. I think the assassins of the Hidden Sword Gate are like these Zerg individuals, and the Seven Killing Battalion is a nest of insects.

"The Hidden Sword Sect recruits disciples from all over the world. Most of them come from poor people who have nowhere to go and people who have suffered disasters. Weak and weak. Those hidden swordmen disciples who survived the test were dehumanized during training, and finally became killers who obeyed orders, only under the control of the camp master of the Seven Killing Camp."

Shen Qi understood what he meant, "The owner of the Seven Killing Battalion is a brain worm."

Su Yan nodded, feeling that talking to someone with strong receptivity would be a peace of mind.

"Then the blood lotus mark, is it the way of 'individuals' to communicate with each other? If the absconded leader of the Seven Killing Camp is captured, his purpose and power will be known, and the entire nest of insects will be uprooted." Shen Qi shunned. Follow his train of thought.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Su Yan sighed lightly, "Above the brain worms, there is the master. That is the supreme leader of the Zerg race, and it is the core of power of the Zerg race. Wisdom and control, and the brain worm is just a tool for it to manipulate the swarm more conveniently. Maybe there are more than one worm nest, more than one brain worm, but there will always be only one master.”

"Who is the master?" Shen Qi asked.

Su Yan spread his hands, "A Zhui Lian brainworm, well, I don't even know what the camp owner of the Seven Killing Camp looks like. It is said that the camp owner wears a red robe from head to toe all year round, wears a bronze mask, and even his fingers The tip is also wrapped in black leather gloves, and the voice of the voice is indistinguishable."

"If Jing Hong is sent to chase him back, can he still find the base of the Seven Killing Battalion?"

Su Yan suddenly stopped, and said to Shen Qi seriously: "I won't let him go."

"Why?" Shen Qi's face was calm, she put her hands behind her back, and clenched her fists tightly.

"First, the imperial court wiped out the Yinjianmen, and they are still looking for the remnants. The Seven Killing Battalion is closely related to the Yinjianmen, and it is impossible to live in peace. When Fuyin tried to defect to Ah Zhui, he also said that the Seven Killing Battalion , 'The people who were obviously involved in Yinjianmen are all dead, and the rest are hiding. The camp owner is also gone, but I know he is still alive, and maybe he is gathering the remaining thorns, keeping a low profile'."

"The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, the Seven Killing Battalion may have another hidden location. After all, Jing Hongzhui was born in it, let him look for it, maybe he can sneak in among the remnants of the group that was gathered, and find out the whereabouts of the camp owner."

Su Yan shook his head resolutely: "Qilang, forgive me for not agreeing. It is true that this method is very sharp, exchanging the smallest sacrifice for the greatest benefit is your Shen Qi's style, but it is not mine.

"The second point I want to say is that, to me, Ah Zhui is not only a bodyguard, but also a family member who depends on life and death. I will not use him as a tool. Knowing that the road ahead is dangerous, I still send him to work for me .It goes against the principles of my life.”

"It's just the principle of being a human being? It's not because you love him and don't want him?" Shen Qi gritted her teeth and asked, "What is a 'family'? How is it different from my 'brother'?"

Guilt and confusion welled up in Su Yan's heart, and there was also some sharp pain, but he did not waver.He took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Long place, if you, Shen Qi, were born in the Hidden Sword Gate, no matter who makes this request to me, even the emperor, I would rather die than agree."

Shen Qi's body and mind were shaken, and she grabbed his wrist, "Don't say stupid things! What do you mean by death! Don't say that you are just taking a little risk, even if you are sure to die, I won't allow you to use your own life to keep him! To Jing Hong This is true for chasing, and it is also true for me!"

Su Yan put his palm on the back of his hand, and smiled faintly: "You and he both gave up your life for me, why can't I die for you?

"I was originally a remnant soul in the world, and I was reborn in this world. I met you and Ah Zhui, and I am so lucky to have you all fall in love with me. Under the erroneous circumstances, the fate is deeply planted, and now the future and Destiny is entwined and inseparable. Losing you is cutting my heart, sacrificing him is breaking my limbs. If there is any inevitable disaster in the future, I will live and die with you. "

For the first time, Shen Qi heard the confession of life and death from Su Yan's mouth, even though there was another person along the way.

Su Yan is easy to soften his heart towards kindness, and is also easily moved by giving. When getting along with him, from the half push and half reluctance at the beginning, to now actively catering, is it true heart?He had pressed him several times about this, but unfortunately, this little villain was very stubborn, he was willing to say anything embarrassing when he was in ecstasy on the bed, and he acted like a "good brother showing loyalty" when he got out of bed. He was pissed off.

Now, Su Yan has finally revealed his heart, and wants to be with him for the rest of his life, life and death together, how can he not be overjoyed!

——As for the extra idler, it is actually not difficult to solve.It's like a growth on the skin, wait until the right time to cut it off, as long as Su Yan doesn't find out that it was him who did it.Maybe Su Yan will be in pain for a while, but with him by his side, the wound will heal eventually.

Shen Qi's eyes flashed, she made up her mind, and said, "Since you don't agree, I can only find another way. Doesn't he still have a junior brother?"

Su Yan nodded: "Fuyin. Ah Zhui is staring at him. I guess, even if the person who contacted and instructed Fuyin is not the camp owner, he has a lot to do with the Seven Killing Camp. Once he finds this person, he can work together Arrested and brought to justice."

While talking, the two had already walked out of Daming Gate and came to Zhengyangmen Street on the central axis of the inner city.

"It's the fourth watch, I haven't slept all night, go home early to rest. I will open the office tomorrow afternoon, and I will not adjust my schedule. I am afraid that I will not be able to get up in the early morning the day after tomorrow, and I will be beaten by the court if I arrive early or late." Su Yan joked, "But Qilang should be There is no need to worry about this, after all, the procuratorate has spread the word that you don’t even take annual leave, and you are a first-class hardworking official. It seems that Shen Yishi will change his name to Shen Laomo.”

Model worker?Shen Qi smiled, without asking any further questions, she called Beizhen Fusi's carriage that was parked at the street and sent him home.

When getting into the car, Shen Qi stretched her fingers into Su Yan's cuff and scratched his wrist a few times with her support.

Su Yan knew that this was in response to the fact that he secretly scratched him behind the back of the Four King Kong in Beizhen Fusi's court a few days ago, so he couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his finger in Shen Qi's palm, earnestly drawing a heart shape.

What does this pattern mean?Shen Qi asked with her eyes.

guess for yourself.Su Yan lifted the curtain with a smile and got into the carriage.

Su Xiaobei and Su Xiaojing had already returned home after visiting the Lantern Festival, prepared hot water for him to bathe in, and made his bed.Jing Hong chased after him but hadn't come back yet.

Su Yan didn't wait for his bodyguard until he turned off the lights and went to bed. He guessed that Ah Zhui was dutifully following Fuyin again, or he was going to investigate the weird brothel mentioned last time.If there are new discoveries, Ah Zhui will come back to inform him as soon as possible.

Not long after Su Yan fell asleep in a daze, he was awakened by a knock on the door.

Fu Bao's voice sounded outside the door: "Master Su! Master Su!"

Su Yan quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed, and went to open the door.Outside the door, Su Xiaobei and Fu Bao in casual clothes stood.

Su Xiaobei looked embarrassed: "I told Eunuch Fubao that adults will sleep for an hour, but he insists—"

"No problem." Su Yan turned to Fu Bao, "But His Royal Highness is looking for me?"

Fu Bao nodded, and said anxiously: "The young master was punished to kneel in the Taimiao, and told the servants to come to Mr. Su as soon as the gate of the palace opened."

"What happened?" Su Yan asked hurriedly.

Fu Bao lowered his voice and replied, "Last night, there was a big fire and the Kunning Palace was burned down!"

"Kunning Palace!" Su Yan was startled, "That didn't belong to the former empress..."

Fu Bao nodded with red eyes: "Yes. The young master had a seizure at that time. He wanted to rush to the fire to save the relics of the late empress, but he was dragged back by the servants. I learned that it was because the palace servants of Kunning Palace left their posts without authorization. However, the servant who guarded the charcoal fire in the iron tank fell asleep again. The sea of ​​​​the door was frozen and could not get water, which led to a fire disaster and the entire main hall was burned. In a rage, the young master killed three people with his own hands. Later, the emperor came to the scene, I took the young master to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and I didn’t know what to say, so I punished him to kneel in the Imperial Temple, without saying how long he would kneel.”

Su Yan hissed, "This is not right, there are too many coincidences, and it is obvious that you are going to the prince. I will go to the Taimiao to see the young master."

Fu Bao said: "The carriage is parked outside the door, it's cold outside, sir, please add a cloak."

Su Yan returned to the bed, dressed neatly, thought about it before leaving, put on the cloak bestowed by the emperor, and left the mansion in a carriage, galloping towards the Taimiao.
