Snake Tale

The land of Jin was connected to Rong and Di, and the folk customs were strong. The princes and officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all proud of being able to fight well, and among them, Huan Guo was even more proud of his bravery.What's more, he regards Luo Yi as a strong enemy, if there is a chance to capture Luo Yi with his own hands, how can he let it go so easily?Although there were also disciples who tried their best to dissuade him, Huan Guo still decided to keep Feiyu behind. Early the next morning, he rode a good horse and ordered his favorite generals, and personally led the soldiers to Changshan.

It was already late at night when we marched to the border of the Dai Kingdom, the nebula was sparse, and the surrounding fields were silent, only the cold wind whistling, weeping and complaining.The soldiers of the Huan clan hurried forward, and were approaching a narrow and long pass, when they suddenly shouted hoarsely in the night: "Wait a minute, my lord! Wait a minute, my lord!"

Huan Guo reined in his horse and looked back, wondering: "Yuji? You're supposed to collect rent in the fief, what are you doing here?"

Yu Ji, Huan's servant, hurriedly got off his horse and said out of breath, "My lord, my lord, we can't go any further!"

"What are you talking about?"

Yu Jiyao pointed to the mountain, and said urgently: "My lord, do you know where this is? This place is also called 'Huiyan Gorge', because of the towering peaks on both sides, the steep ravines are gloomy, and the wild geese have to turn back because they can't fly. This is the "pass" land mentioned in the military book, if the enemy sets up an ambush here and sends troops condescendingly to attack, we are afraid that our entire army will be wiped out!"

Huan Guo laughed loudly: "You are always so timid and timid! Who knows when I raise my troops to attack? And who will set up an ambush for me?"

Yuji anxiously said: "My lord, don't you know that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind? What's more, the plan that the yellow-haired boy Ping Feiyu offered to the lord is really strange! If Luo Yi and Dai have already killed both, why can't they hear the sword and halberd?" The sound of intersecting? Why can’t you see the fleeing soldiers? This pass is quiet and no one is there, it’s clearly—”

Yuji's analysis was clear and sound, and Huan Guo's face gradually revealed a look of hesitation.Suddenly a sharp arrow whizzed towards Yu Ji who was in front of the horse!

"Yuji!" Huan Guo hissed, feeling warm blood splashing on his cheeks.

Yuji was stunned on the ground, and the horse stood up in shock.Seeing the change, the leading sergeant shouted in horror: "There is an ambush!"

At the same time, a dense rain of arrows poured down.The soldiers of Huan's family fell from their horses and fell to the ground one after another.Huan's formation was chaotic, trampling on each other, and fell into a panic.And the sound of waving flags and shouts came from the hillsides on both sides, the mountains and forests were clamoring, and the drums were clamoring. Thousands of brave cavalry came from both sides with thunderbolts. Leaping black swallow bird.

The main general went to war, and the Huan's mansion was rarely peaceful and quiet.Under the corridor, the drunk young man was holding the wine jar, and was about to come to Shen Yuzhu for a drink and chat.When he walked to the door and was about to open it, he heard a pair of young men and women in the room whispering:

"...Shen Yuzhu, will you know it or not?"

"Be safe. I haven't done this in a long time."

"Ah... Shen Yuzhu! Take care of your bird! It's so annoying to keep moving!"

The young man eavesdropped on the door leaf for a long while, thinking about it for a while, and couldn't help laughing.Thinking about it, even if Shen Yuzhu is calm and indifferent, he is still a vigorous young man, and he is in the same room with a beautiful woman. How can there be any reason why he can't go with the flow and make good things happen?It would be too ignorant for him to pay a visit.

Thinking of this, Ping Feiyu changed his mind, turned around and was about to leave, but because of drunkenness, his feet were unsteady, he staggered and fell to the ground, and knocked open the door instead.

Ping Feiyu put his head on the ground, staring into his eyes, but saw Shen Yuzhu in neat clothes, sitting in front of the desk, holding a gray-black carrier pigeon in his hand, saw his face clearly, and smiled at him.

Ping Feiyu was puzzled: "Master, why did you—"

Hearing the sound of "Zheng", a sharp sword with a cold light was already placed on his neck impressively!Ping Feiyu was dumbfounded, the alcohol in his body burst out of thousands of pores in an instant, he turned his head tremblingly, and saw a woman holding a sword and glaring at him fiercely.

"Yingqi wait a minute." Shen Yuzhu stood up and stopped him, "He's just a child."

It was only then that Ping Feiyu recognized that this heroic woman with blunt brows was actually Yingqi, a beautiful and charming dancer at the banquet!Ying Qi snorted coldly and said: "This guy is a big kid, I don't know how many bad ideas he gave old man Huan. Since he has seen our business plan, he must not stay!"

The tip of the sword was an inch closer, and Ping Feiyu felt a coldness on his neck, shaking like a sieve of chaff, and cried out hastily: "I'm wronged! I didn't see anything! Uncle——"

Shen Yuzhu pushed the window and looked, seeing no one around, raised his hand and let the pigeon fly away, then turned around, smiled at Ping Feiyu: "Fei Yu, if you keep making such noise, I can save your life , I can’t keep your tongue.”

Ping Feiyu quickly shut up, opened his lips tremblingly again, lowered his voice and said in a crying voice: "I... what do I know? Why do you shout like this? Uncle, it depends on Master In order to save face, you have to beg this heroine—"

"Oh," Shen Yuzhu smiled slowly, "Who is your master?"

Ping Feiyu was taken aback for a moment, "Of course it's Qin Wei..."

"Ping Feiyu, at such a young age, you are so courageous and resourceful. If you are really my nephew, I would be really happy for Qin Wei to have such an outstanding apprentice. It's a pity that this game of the same school that you deceived me should also come It's time to end."

Ping Feiyu stared at Shen Yuzhu with wide eyes, as if he had never recognized the person in front of him.After a long time, he sighed and said dejectedly, "You...you already knew?"

Shen Yuzhu smiled but said nothing.Ping Feiyu repented: "I don't understand! I stole the token from the real Qingyan Mansion disciples, disguised myself, and carefully checked every detail—"

"Your disguise is indeed very clever. Time is tight, and it is difficult to verify the authenticity in time. It's a pity that you made a crucial mistake as soon as you opened your mouth." Shen Yuzhu smiled, "Qin Wei, it's not my 'junior brother' ah .”

"Is he your senior brother?" Ping Feiyu was puzzled: "But according to the information, although Shen Yuzhu's age is young, his seniority is not low..."

Shen Yuzhu smiled and said: "Fei Yu always knows Zhong Lichun, right? The saltless woman who persuaded the King of Qi to dismiss flattery and select talents, and the wife of King Qi who is now in power—do you know whose disciple she is?"

Ping Feiyu was stunned.It took a long time before he regained his composure, and exclaimed: "You mean, Qin Wei... is also a woman?" He suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help lamenting: "Oh! My luck is really too low, and my secrets are so sparse—who? Would you have thought that Qin Wei, one of the Qingyan Six Secret Secretaries, who is famous all over the world for his vertical and horizontal skills, would be a woman?"

Yingqi smiled and became more and more charming: "What's wrong with the woman? Brat, don't you see who is in the hands of you now?"

Shen Yuzhu glanced at Yingqi with a smile, and said, "Fei Yu, do you really think that Luo Mansion's defenses are so lax that you can come and go freely? You have been under the master's control since you sneaked into Luo Mansion. He Do you think it was just a coincidence that you came to my room? The reason why he didn't expose you was because he lured the snake out of the hole. Sure enough, you didn't lead me out of the city, but came to the Huan Mansion, which also confirmed us My guess: Your real identity is actually Huan Guo's disciple, and the so-called 'Qingyan Mansion Tongmen' is just a pretense to lie to me."

Ping Feiyu frowned and recalled the scene of that night, and couldn't help but say: "I was there that night, when did you and Luo Yi... Oh! I understand, I hid in the box and watched nothing I don’t see, on the one hand, you are talking out loud to deceive me, but on the other hand, you are using pen and ink to secretly communicate the news, right?”

Shen Yuzhu smiled calmly, as an admission.Yingqi said: "So, you and Junhou agreed on this bitter plan at that time?"

Shen Yuzhu said: "That's right. After the master saw that I confessed that the so-called 'Ping Feiyu' was not a student of my Qingyan mansion, he made a decisive decision and allowed me to follow my plan and sneak into the Huan mansion as a countermeasure. In order to gain Huan Guo's trust, this little flesh wound What else is it?"

Ying Qi sighed softly: "Don't talk about Huan Guo, even I..." She raised her willow eyebrows to the center of her brows, and looked at Shen Yuzhu with apology and pity: "When I first met you, I really thought you were He is a spy who betrayed the prince!"

Shen Yuzhu said: "This injury looks horrifying, but it didn't hurt any bones. Yingqi, you should know that if the master really wants to kill, how can I survive?"

Ping Feiyu looked disheartened, and murmured: "I'm so conceited that I'm so smart, and I'm full of tricks, but it turned out that I was just being played by the two of you in a double-reed play! I...why didn't I see it?" He said to himself Yuanyuan thought about the past carefully: "Now that I think about it, your performance was indeed a bit too much. The feeling of astonishment and confusion when you were suddenly in the Huan Mansion was a little bit insufficient. The part where you shot the table at the banquet was very contagious. Doesn't it seem a little too exaggerated?"

Shen Yuzhu pursed his lips and smiled, a bit embarrassed: "I'm not used to acting, it's really ridiculous."

Ying Qi took the tip of the sword and slapped Ping Fei Yuzhu's round and jade-run cheek with a "slap", which made him dodge back in shock, almost biting his tongue.Ying Qi sneered and said, "What do you do to such a cowardly boy who tends to follow others? Shen Yuzhu, we'd better evacuate from this place as soon as possible and report back to the Lord!"

Ping Feiyu was suddenly startled, and exclaimed: "Oops! In this way, Luo Jian's last will, and the encirclement and suppression of the Dai family in Changshan are all a trap made up to deceive the adoptive father? What about the adoptive father? Isn't it now—!"

Shen Yuzhu said: "The inside story of Luo's establishment of an heir has long been difficult to distinguish between true and false, but one thing is certain, that is, Huan Guo has fallen into the siege of Luo's and Dai's armies at this moment, and I am afraid that his life will be lost. Fei Yu , I advise you to join the Ming Lord as soon as possible. With your talents, you don't have to worry about not being able to emerge again."

Ping Feiyu was so clever, he immediately heard that Shen Yuzhu had no intention of taking his life, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master, for not killing him!" Ashamed, he smiled obsequiously and said: "Oh, I still can't change my name to be your uncle! Although I don't have the luck to become a student of Qingyan Mansion, no matter whether you like me or not, I will respect you as a disciple from now on. of!"

Shen Yuzhu said with a smile: "Since you have such filial piety, as an elder, you have to show it." He took out the tube from his sleeve and leaned over to pin it on his lapel, and said with a smile: "I hope you can do your own thing and don't let me down." A piece of mind."

Ping Feiyu couldn't help but thank him, squinting at Yingqi along the tip of the sword.

Ying Qi raised her brows tightly, and said unwillingly, "This kid is glib and spooky, so why let him go for nothing?"

Shen Yuzhu said: "The overall situation has been settled, there is no need to add any side details. Let's go, the master is still waiting for our reply."

Ping Feiyu stuck out her tongue at Ying Qi proudly, Ying Qi snorted, pulled out the rope and tied Ping Feiyu firmly.Ping Feiyu screamed wildly while being tied up, while twisting her body indiscriminately and rubbing against Yingqi's body, Yingqi was so angry that she had to use her hand while being tied up to teach this frivolous boy a lesson.

Seeing that Shen Yuzhu and the others were about to step out of the room, Ping Feiyu suddenly called out: "Master!"

Shen Yuzhu stopped and looked back with a slight smile.He has a light robe and a loose belt, and his long body stands tall, against the bright moonlight behind him, it is really like a jade mountain climbing up, and the light shines on people.Ping Feiyu paused, and asked, "Is that all acting? Including——everything Luo Yi did to you?"

Shen Yuzhu didn't expect him to ask this question, and couldn't help but stunned.Ying Qi scolded: "Stinky boy!" Going back and peeling off one of his socks, ignoring Ping Feiyu howling ghostly and howling, she firmly gagged his mouth, grabbed Shen Yuzhu with one hand and walked out.

She comforted in a low voice: "Shen Yuzhu, you don't have to worry. When I return to the mansion, I will report your contribution to Junhou in detail. Junhou is the most knowledgeable, and he will definitely treat you with admiration. At that time..." She seemed to think of something, her cheeks felt hot, and she didn't want to continue talking.

"Thank you! I think so too." Shen Yuzhu responded with a smile, raised his eyes casually, and saw an owl with its feathers gathered behind the rough and sparse branches, with a blood-stained chaffinch in its beak, quietly looked at him quietly.

Shen Yuzhu smiled at it, a pair of dark eyes were deep and indifferent, unable to reflect a gleam of light in the long night:

"I must let him know clearly what I mean."
