Notes on Evil Fox

The capital in the cold winter night is like a huge prison, so cold that no light can penetrate.Everyone inside was trapped in it, struggling, biting, and howling constantly, until finally, everyone had hideous faces and bruised bodies.

Wang Cao stared at Lu Fanan, who was blocking their team, with a gentle smile on his face, as if he wanted to say something.On the other hand, Wang Baoyin immediately waved his hands and made people surround him.

Lu Fanan looked at the guards surrounding him, sneered, drew his knife and attacked the people around him.

After a few back and forth, all the guards were knocked to the ground, and Lu Fanan walked towards the Wang family father and son with a knife in his hand.Both of them changed their countenance a little, Wang Cao had a stern expression on his face, and he glanced at Wang Baoyin.The latter hurriedly blew a whistle, and saw a group of people dressed as soldiers, but slightly different from the official soldiers of Dachang, popping up around them.

Lu Fanan looked at the people, and suddenly realized in his heart that the Wang family still had private soldiers, no wonder they were so unscrupulous.

Just as he was about to swing his knife, he saw another group of men in black pouring out from the other side, probably more than a hundred.The visitor stood in front of Lu Fanan and fought with the private soldiers of the Wang family.

Seeing someone helping him, Lu Fanan's heartstrings, which were tense, finally relaxed at this moment.

He's finally here too.

But at this time, from the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of Wang Baoyin who was about to sneak away.He jumped up, kicked the opponent to the ground, then walked in front of him, pulled his hair, with a rare cruel expression on his face.

Slowly said: "Do you still remember a woman you tortured and killed in Xunan more than ten years ago?"

Wang Baoyin's mouthful of teeth were all shattered in his mouth because of a fall, so he was sobbing and unable to explain clearly.

Lu Fanan said again: "Do you know how much you have made him suffer? You almost ruined his entire life."

As he spoke, he got up and raised the knife in his hand, pointing it at Wang Baoyin.At this time, a soldier also stabbed at him with a knife, but Lu Fanan had no intention of hiding at all.

Because he knew that the person behind him would not let him get hurt.

The moment Lu Fanan's blade slashed across Wang Baoyin's neck, the soldier's blade was touching his back.At the critical moment, there was only a sound of iron colliding with iron, and the soldier had already hit the ground heavily.

One hugged him and hugged him, and the visitor's tone was full of accusation: "Obviously I know it's a trap, but I still have to go back and forth."

Lu Fanan turned around and hugged him back, with a smile in his tone: "You have to do a full set of acting, I don't want to be the one holding you back at the last critical moment."

The army brought by Rong Shiyin has subdued the private soldiers of the Wang family, and Feng Ningxiong broke free from the prison car.Everyone's jaws almost dropped when they saw the two embracing each other in full view.

Wang Cao, who was tied up, had an unsteady voice at this time, but forced himself to say: "You guys, are you planning to rebel?"

Rong Shiyin let go of Lu Fanan, smiled at him comfortingly, and turned around.Losing the patience to deal with others, he took out a gold medal with dragon pattern from his pocket and said: "Go and call all the officials into the palace, I have something important to announce."

Wang Cao looked at Xia Changming, who was still insane in the hall, and his face, which had been pretending to be calm since he was tied up, finally couldn't hold back.

I saw Rong Shiyin standing in front of the hall, and said to the officials below: "The Wang family colluded with the Falcon Crossbow, and together with Xia Changming, who was the prince at that time, murdered the late emperor, and imprisoned and abused the current emperor. His heart is clearly revealed. See Canglang The defeat, coupled with the emperor's unwillingness to be his puppet, tried to repeat the same tricks, poisoning the emperor, blaming General Feng, and seizing military power. Your Majesty, I'm afraid Wang Cao's thief has seriously stolen power."

As Rong Shiyin's voice fell, Wang Cao sat paralyzed on the ground.

The officials below were silent for a while, as the saying goes, some families are happy and some are worried.

From the joyful family, someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty trusts treacherous people. Now that you have become like this, how can you be a king again? But the blood of the first emperor is only left with six and four kings. Sir Rong, what do you think?"

Rong Shiyin stood up straight, and said: "Before the death of the late emperor, he left a secret decree, intending for the six kings to succeed to the throne. However, His Majesty was poisoned by the Wang family, and the Wang family covered the sky with one hand. I am afraid that something will happen to the six kings. After discussing with the general, he temporarily hid the matter, and has been looking for an appropriate time for the late emperor's last wish to appear in the world. Now is a good time."

Rong Shiyin invited Xia Changjin out, knelt down in front of him respectfully, held out a brocade box and said, "This is the secret decree of the late emperor, the Sixth Prince please personally enclose it."

The young and mature Xia Changjin nodded slightly to Rong Shiyin before taking the brocade box.The moment it was opened, a firework exploded in the air.

When everyone was amazed, two men with yellow belts around their waists and well-dressed men knelt in front of Xia Changjin: "The leader of the Dragon Guard Order attends His Majesty."

"The Order of Protecting the Dragon." An old official exclaimed, "The Order of the Protection of the Dragon was established by Emperor Xingwu alone. It is mysterious and impermanent. It has always only obeyed the orders of the emperor. Why did it suddenly come out now?"

Under Xia Changjin's signal, the leader of the Dragon Guard Order stood up and respectfully said to the other party: "The first emperor said that if the secret decree is opened, and the person who sees the imperial decree is of royal blood, the Dragon Guard Order will be dispatched by him. Otherwise, there will be no mercy." .”

Xia Changjin looked at Rong Shiyin with some embarrassment, and the latter smiled and nodded at him.

Although unexpected, but not too surprised.If Xia Tuochao handed over the secret decree to him without any scruples, it might make him feel suspicious.

……

The new emperor ascended the throne, following Xia Changming's country name—Shengping.In the hope of a prosperous and peaceful world, but also to warn myself, not to listen to slander, not to favor traitors and sycophants.

The crimes of the Wang family were heinous, and the nine families were punished together.The empress dowager was deprived of her title because of collusion with the royal family, and was sent to guard the mausoleum of the emperor.

Xia Changjin's biological mother, Concubine Ning, is honored as Empress Dowager Jingning.Feng Ningxiong was named the General of the Protectorate, and Lu Fanan was named the General of the Fuguo.

Later, Xia Changjin dismissed a group of officials who had connections with the Wang family.Under the recommendation of Rong Shiyin and Feng Ningxiong, a group of talents with both ability and political integrity were newly promoted, but were buried in the factional struggles in the court.

Because of all the troubles in the past, the inside and outside of the court hall are in a state of waste waiting to be rebuilt.

Rong Shiyin and Lu Fanan, one was busy in the court, and the other was running in the army, both of them kept their feet off the ground.

So after the hurried embrace that night, they have not spoken a word in these many days.

Although Lu Fanan lived in the Rong Mansion, due to some inhumane reasons, he didn't live in the same place because he was afraid of missing his duty during the day.Every time we see each other, it is hasty and hasty.It really can be regarded as a pair of toiling mandarin ducks.

Rong Shiyin rubbed the center of his brows, feeling that he had aged ten years in just a few days.

After processing the last document, he took out the blank booklet he had prepared earlier, and wrote on it stroke by stroke.

After finishing writing, he sighed as if remembering something.From the first meeting to now, I have known Lu Fanan for nearly three years, but I have never celebrated that person's birthday properly.

And he didn't know that Lu Fanan still carried so much burden in his heart.But he was so dull that during the most painful period after the war, he was given all indifference and incomprehension.

……

On the twenty-second day of the winter month, the winter solstice.

The sky is a bit gloomy, with some sparse snowflakes floating.Rong Shiyin got off the morning, and ran to the house, with some impatience in his footsteps.

Returning home in a hurry, remembering what Feng Ningxiong said that Lu Fanan would not go to the barracks today, he ran straight to the other party's room.

"It hurts so much, young master." Before Rong Shiyin reached the door, he heard the self-proclaim he hadn't heard for a long time.

Pushing open the door, I saw Lu Fanan sitting on the table with his back to the door, his fair back was covered with bruises, and the man was preoccupied with taking medicine.

Hearing the movement, he turned around and saw Rong Shiyin, who stretched out his hand to pull his clothes to try to cover the wound.

Rong Shiyin stepped forward quickly and stopped his movement.Sighing helplessly, he took the medicine and wiped it on the bruise carefully.

Lu Fanan had no choice but to let him move, and said with a smile, "Why did you come back so early today?"

After Rong Shiyin finished treating the wound, he squatted in front of Lu Fanan, held the hand on his knee, and said softly, "I miss you."

A warm current welled up in Lu Fan'an's heart. Looking at the person in front of him, the dormant longing in his heart seemed to be stirred up: "I miss you too."

Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and eagerly grabbed Rong Shiyin's lips.

Rong Shiyin raised his head to feel the eagerness on his lips, and wished he could put all his friendship on his lips at this moment, and just tell that person how good he is.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Fanan woke up in Rong Shiyin's arms, and said mistyly, "Why don't you go to the morning court?"

Rong Shi didn't answer, but asked instead: "What about you, why don't you go?"

Lu Fanan was a little sober, and hesitantly said, "I'm resigning."

Rong Shiyin tightened his arms around the man's waist and said, "Me too."

"what?"

An unbelievable sound exploded above Rong's mansion, startling several sparrows that got up early to look for food.

……

In the evening, Rong Shiyin and Lu Fanan walked side by side on the street. The former looked at the pedestrians on both sides of the road with great interest, as if it was the first time he had come to the capital city.

But Lu Fanan was still immersed in the shock of the morning: "You really resigned?"

"Can this be fake?"

"You, it's not because of me." Lu Fanan said worriedly.

"What do you think?" Rongshi looked at him with a faint smile.

The latter stopped in his tracks and looked at Rong Shiyin steadfastly: "You know, no matter where you are, I will be with you. You don't have to do this for me."

Rong Shiyin looked back at him, and straightened his expression: "The original intention of this road I walked was not to seek peace and happiness. But because you accidentally realized the joy in this world, so now I just want to live for this joy. All right. Because of you, and because of what I ask."

Lu Fanan looked at Rong Shiyin for a while, as if wondering what he meant.After a long time, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he hugged the man's neck and said, "You are also my joy."

Several of the sparse passers-by around had already looked sideways at the two of them, but they seemed to have never heard of it.

Rong Shiyin only saw Lu Fanan's smile in his eyes.Suddenly, he became playful, approached the other party's ear unscrupulously, and said softly: "From now on, serve me well, and I will definitely make you happier."

Lu Fanan didn't react for a while, but after he understood the meaning of that sentence, his face became a little hot, but he didn't change the subject, and replied: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to make me willing gone."

Rong Shiyin half-closed his eyes dangerously, and looked up and down at Lu Fan'an unabashedly.Just when he was about to start, he heard a pleasantly surprised voice shouting kindly: "Fan'an."
