General Zhiyi

Looking at the four people who were sweating profusely but returned empty-handed, Tang Jingxu hurriedly swallowed the unchewed roasted kidneys in his mouth. He was caught off guard by the spicy taste, blushed and coughed roughly, intermittently He asked eagerly, "Was...run away by him?"

Yin Liansheng nodded, ordered a cup of herbal tea from the stall that was roasting mutton skewers, and brought it to Tang Jingxu's mouth, saying: "Today, there are many people in the imperial city offering sacrifices to the gods."

Tang Jingxu drank a large bowl of herbal tea with Yin Liansheng's hand "gulu gulu". Tang Jingxu took a breath, but his tongue was still numb for a while. It’s already the fifth day of the first lunar month, after all, the emperor of the human world went out to pay homage to Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu of the heaven, so it’s normal for there to be many people.”

"Master, is that boy a human or a demon?" When Hua Qingchen was chasing the boy, he learned from Yin Liansheng what they saw in the ghost market, so he couldn't help feeling strange.

Tang Jingxu casually stuffed the remaining two strings of kidneys into the mouths of Ying Li and Jian Xi respectively, propped his chin, tapped his right index finger on the table, and said in a deep voice: "It was a human before, but now it's not. .”

"Tsk tsk, it's the first time I've seen a living person turned into a demon. Hey, no, I almost forgot about the monk." Hua Qingchen sighed, vaguely hearing the solemn and solemn sacrificial music from a distance, he stretched He stretched his neck and looked around, and vaguely saw the big yellow banner with the word "Ying" written on it, retracted his neck, and looked at Ying Li with a frown.

In Hua Qingchen's eyes, his little junior brother has always been low-key, but he is also low-key too much. He does not change his face in the face of adversity, and he can calmly take out a piece of dried meat and stuff it in his mouth while walking through the sea of ​​blood. .He has been in Xiyun Mountain for about ten years. Although Tang Jingxu did not mention his origin, Hua Qingchen still has some impression of the surname "Ying". It is the surname of this generation of royal family in the human world. Most likely a descendant of the royal family.Although he is a member of the royal family, he is taciturn and has a very low sense of presence. He usually doesn't speak, but every word he speaks can surely poke his heart. Hua Qingchen has been pierced by him a lot.

Seeing that he was obsessed with gnawing on his waist, Hua Qingchen turned to Tang Jingxu, and said, "I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate to let him wander around the imperial city like this."

Unexpectedly, Tang Jingxu spread his arms and said indifferently: "At the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many capable people and strange men, as long as he has a brain, he should take the opportunity to leave the city with his tail between his legs."

After hearing this, Hua Qingchen felt that this remark was very reasonable, so he beckoned for a few skewers of mutton, and gnawed on it with grinning teeth.

Seeing the royal team coming back from the sacrificial priests gradually approaching, Tang Jingxu and his disciples turned around silently at the same time, trying to reduce their sense of existence under the cover of the crowd of onlookers. Without even thinking about it, he yelled out with his naturally loud voice: "General Tang, what's the matter with you?"

Tang Jingxu immediately rolled his eyes, cursed his teammate secretly, got up and was about to run away, when he was stopped by a man in black, who knelt on one knee and saluted Ying Li, then turned to Tang Jingxu and nodded He clasped his fists and said, "General Tang, Your Majesty has a request."

Turning his head and glanced at the dragon chariot who happened to be passing by behind him, and then at Yingli beside him who was frowning and displeased, Tang Jingxu felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and asked hesitantly, "Rufeng , can I... can I refuse?"

As if he had expected it long ago, the man called "Rufeng" did not change his complexion, maintained a slightly bowed posture, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Tang Jingxu with a trace of respect in his eyes, and he was business-like. Conveying Emperor Ying's order: "Your Majesty said that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and I'm afraid she won't last until the beginning of spring. I want to see His Royal Highness Li Wang one last time."

Hearing this, Tang Jingxu immediately lowered his face, and said with a sneer, "Heh, I remembered Ying Li when I was about to die, and wanted to see him for the last time? She made it sound like she wasn't the one who kept saying that she would take Ying Li to sacrifice to the Sea God ten years ago! Don't go! Xiaosan, go, go back to Xiyun Mountain with Master to eat dried fish!"

Before he finished speaking, Tang Jingxu pulled Ying Li and turned his head to leave. He just took a step forward, but he didn't want Ying Li to pull him back with his other hand. He looked at him fixedly and said in a low voice: " Master, I see her."

Hearing Ying Li's unusually persistent tone, Tang Jingxu frowned and stared at his eyes, trying to see what he was thinking, and asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

Quietly staring at Tang Jingxu for a while, Ying Li turned his face away, looked at the sacrificial band that was drifting away, and laughed in a low voice, until the mighty procession passed through the bustling streets of the imperial capital, orderly After walking into the gate of the imperial city in an orderly manner, he said softly: "No reason, I just want to watch her die."

"Little San, you..." Tang Jingxu frowned even deeper, his light-colored thin lips parted slightly, and just about to say something, Yin Liansheng suddenly grabbed his hand, leaned closer, and clung to his ear Said: "General Bai's voice transmission."

The warm breath came against the tips of his ears, and it penetrated into Tang Jingxu's ears in an instant. His ears turned red, and his neck couldn't help shrinking. He subconsciously tried to push Yin Liansheng away with his backhand. He frowned, and suddenly tightened his hands.

"You..." Tang Jingxu turned his head to look at Yin Liansheng with a little dissatisfaction, and just as he spoke, Bai Zhou's voice sounded in his head first: "Jingxu, Yingguo Palace is entangled by something Yes, Lord Junkun ordered you to deal with this matter. After all, it is the royal family, and the merits are at least a million. After doing this vote, it is enough for you to nest in your small mountain for half a year. This wave is not a loss! By the way, Jian You got the news from You Yu, and he will go to pick up Jian Xi later, and he will bring the cat demon back along the way. Don't worry, after I've been busy for a while, I'll give you the merits I should give you."

Bai Zhoukou continued to speak a series of words without stopping, and then cut off the connection in a hurry. Tang Jingxu only skipped half a sound of the word "I", and there was no further words, and he felt helpless in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't want to step into the muddy water of the royal family at all. Although the muddy water mixed with oil and water really made his heart itch, but considering the kindness and resentment mixed in it, he was really upset. What's more, if Ying Xiaosan of his own family participated in it again and again, he would inevitably recall those sad past events. As far as Tang Jingxu's selfishness is concerned, he should avoid it as much as he can.

But He Junkun opened his mouth, and because of his past friendship, he gave him such a good job with millions of merits in order to take care of him. In this way, Tang Jingxu was really embarrassed to refuse, and in addition Ying Li had such an attitude again, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

Sharp-eyed saw that Tang Jingxu was letting go, Rufeng immediately stretched out his hand and said, "His Royal Highness Li, General Tang, please follow me."

Tang Jingxu sighed, raised his chin to Yin Liansheng and others beside him, and said, "I also want to take these three with me, you should report back first."

Rufeng straightened up and glanced at the three of them, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty ordered that no matter who or how many people General Tang wants to bring with him, there is no need to report it, just take it."

Tang Jingxu nodded: "Then let's go."

The cold wind was blowing, the thick clouds gradually covered the cold moon, and the night was getting darker.

The guards and maidservants who were supposed to be guarding the door of the imperial study room waiting for orders at any time have already been sent away. The huge palace courtyard is empty, and the door of the imperial study room is half open. Through the crack of the door, one can see a bright yellow figure at a glance. He was half prone on the desk.

Xu Shi came here to wait as soon as he entered the palace gate. The nine crowns on the man's head hadn't been taken off yet, and the crowns pierced with five-colored stones were swinging in small arcs with the subtle movements of his breathing. There are some white strands mixed in the bundled black hair, looking from a distance, there is a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Tang Jingxu couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was funny for him to have such thoughts about the king of a country and the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. Fortunately, the laughter was suppressed in time, and it didn't ruin the silence and depression of this courtyard, but it was caused by the nearest Yin Liansheng caught it keenly. Seeing Yin Liansheng looking at him, Tang Jingxu turned his face slightly, raised his eyebrows at him, and smiled unabated.

Yin Liansheng's footsteps stopped, and his eyes fell on the cinnabar mole under Tang Jingxu's right earlobe uncontrollably. His eyes seemed to be in a daze for a moment, but he had the urge to bite them. It was not chaotic, but there was a trace of panic in the lowered pupils, which flashed by, and was hidden for an instant, and returned to calm when he raised his eyes.

Rufeng, who was leading the way, led everyone to stop before the steps of the imperial study room, turned around to look at the five people, and said, "Please wait here for a while, and inform Your Majesty."

Tang Jingxu swept his gaze behind him, vaguely saw the bright yellow figure move, and then heard a "click" sound like a pen holder falling to the ground, guessing that the person inside must have woken up, so he waved his hand Signal Rufeng to report.

Rufeng gently pushed open the door, turned around and closed it immediately after entering the door, and after a while, the door of the imperial study room opened again, Rufeng bowed himself to invite everyone to enter, after everyone entered, he closed the door cautiously, and approached the table Standing with his hands behind his back, the yellow robe humanely said "Retire like the wind", then walked respectfully to a dark corner, and gradually disappeared.

Seeing Rufeng disappearing into the darkness as a cloud of black gas visible to the naked eye, Jianxi was terrified, stared her big black eyes straight, grabbed Hua Qingchen's shoulder beside her, and kept shaking it , pointing at the corner where Rufeng disappeared with one hand, shouting loudly: "Hey hey hey, look, that so-and-so has disappeared!"

Hua Qingchen was shaken by this sudden brute force for a while, and couldn't lift his hand to pull away the big palm that was like a shackle on his shoulder, so he could only respond indiscriminately: "Hey, look, look, It's not that you can't see that Rufeng is not a human being, so what's so strange about disappearing out of thin air?!"

"Huh?" Jian Xi was stunned suddenly, staring at Hua Qingchen and suddenly became serious, a huge bead of sweat rolled down his resolute face, and stared blankly at Tang Jingxu, "That Rufeng... isn't a human? "

Hua Qingchen couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Can't you smell the ghostly aura on him?"

"Ah, is that so?" Jian Xihan smiled and touched the back of her head, "Sorry, I lost my sense of smell since I was a child, so I really can't smell it. Wow, I didn't expect the emperor of the human world to be so bold that a ghost would keep watch all the time. It's really strange to be by my side!"

"Bold? Don't dare to be, I've always been as timid as a mouse," said the man who had been quietly playing with the carved dragon and paperweight in his hand, he chuckled twice, turned around slowly, with a slightly bitter voice His eyes fell on Ying Li, "Ah Li, do you think so?"

The author has something to say: Ying Xiaosan is a member of the royal family!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
