Chapter 41 Hostage
On the willow tip of the moon, a team of guards on patrol at the Potian Military Academy held torches and followed the patrol route.These guards were all former Changlin disciples. When Shen Jinyu passed by them, they all saluted respectfully and shouted:

"Master Lieutenant!"

Shen Jinyu nodded, and went straight into the guard room.

It is embarrassing to say that most of these disciples participated in Duan Mufeng and Tang Shan's bullying behavior towards Shen Jinyu before. At that time, they treated Shen Jinyu with cynicism and contempt. Now, seeing Shen Jinyu gaining power, they fawned over him one by one. , The one who pleases the one who pleases the one who admits his mistake admits his mistake.

Shen Jinyu is a person who holds grudges. He arranged for those people to go to the places where the Potian Army was the most difficult and tiring and could not make meritorious service. For other useful positions, he asked Song Yao to recruit some people for him.

The Heaven Breaking Army had just been established, and there were no other disciples except Changlin. He had no choice but to choose his own people in the future and cultivate his own wings. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in this man-eating court for long.

There were already a lot of official documents piled up in the duty room, and Shen Jinyu wrote some more, when there was a knock at the door suddenly: "Master Shen, it's me."

In response to Song Yao's voice, Shen Jinyu put away the official documents and said, "Come in."

Song Yao pushed the door and entered, stood at the door and shook the jug in his hand, "I got a new jug of good wine today, the emperor hasn't been drinking recently, so I can only come to you,"

Shen Jinyu: "I don't drink often either,"

"No, if you don't drink, no one will accompany me. Have a few drinks, it's okay," Song Yao sat opposite Shen Jinyu, took out a wine glass, filled it and placed it in front of him.

The wine was clear and full of fragrance, even Shen Jinyu had to sigh secretly about the good wine, he took a sip from the glass, the wine had a hint of sweetness in addition to its aroma, and it wasn't too spicy.

"How is it? Not bad," Song Yao asked after drinking a cup.

"It's really good wine," Shen Jinyu praised from the bottom of his heart.

"I heard that the day you returned to the mansion, His Majesty came to look for you and called you big brother," Song Yao teased.

"I don't know why, the emperor insists on calling me that," Shen Jinyu felt a little headache. How could a king of a country call him a courtier's elder brother? Isn't this a mess?
"Don't be surprised, this is His Majesty's normal operation." Song Yao poured another glass, clinked glasses with Shen Jinyu, his eyes seemed to be recalling, "Your Majesty is such a person who values ​​affection, not like an emperor. The way it should be. Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, but he is not as ruthless and decisive as a monarch should be, because he doesn't like the emperor's position."

Shen Jinyu looked at Song Yao and signaled him to continue.

"I have been Your Majesty's bookboy since I was six years old. At that time, Your Majesty was the youngest prince of the late Emperor. Your Majesty has been playful since he was a child. When he was young, he dreamed of being a knight-errant. For this reason, His Majesty was not favored at all at one time, and after the death of His Majesty's mother and concubine, he became a transparent person in the palace. But do you think it was fate, in order to fight for the throne, the eldest prince killed himself His three younger brothers, His Majesty escaped a catastrophe because he was too transparent and cowardly. Originally, the throne belonged to the eldest prince, but when he entertained his heroes to celebrate, he drank too much wine and called three A courtesan from a brothel came to serve him, but died on the bed that night because of romantic affairs. Once the eldest prince died, the late emperor also fell ill, and there is no one to inherit the throne except His Majesty." Song Yao smiled helplessly,
"Those who want can't get it, and those who don't want it just fall on them. Your Majesty has been suffering because of this for a long time."

Shen Jinyu: "So that's how it is,"

"So, don't blame Your Majesty, he is too lonely. Apart from me, he doesn't even have a friend who can talk to him all these years. All the empresses in the harem are rushing to ascend to their father and brother in front of their own favor. The purpose of coming here, not to mention those ministers, so you are the first friend that His Majesty really wants to make besides me, so don't despise him, "

"How could it be?" Shen Jinyu sighed, "But Your Majesty's real elder brother is not me, but Qi Yue. At that time, Qi Yue often secretly scolded Your Majesty with me, saying that he is a pervert who worships her so much after being beaten."

As soon as Qi Yue was mentioned, Shen Jinyu's eyes softened a lot. Song Yao saw it through and said, "Don't worry, His Majesty is also trying his best to find it. The news that can be obtained so far is that Duan Cang was in Sichuan a few years ago. There is a courtyard nearby, Duan Mufeng has nowhere to go now, and it is very likely that he will go there, His Majesty has notified the state government there to investigate, and there should be results in a few days."

Shen Jinyu didn't answer, her brows and eyes were full of sadness.A day without Qi Yue's whereabouts is impossible for him to rest assured.

Duan Mufeng ran away, and Qi Yue also disappeared. The only possibility is that Duan Mufeng kidnapped Qi Yue when he ran away.

It's all his fault, he lost Qi Yue.

It was already late for Song Yao to go back after drinking.Shen Jinyu sent Song Yao away, and went back to the mansion after approving the last few official documents. As soon as he entered the door, Fu Sheng greeted him. Shen Jinyu took off his black velvet cape and put it on Fu Sheng's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Is anyone looking for someone?" Is it finished?"

Fu Sheng: "After searching, they are all homeless and strong men. They are all housed in a farmhouse in the suburbs. I will invite someone to train them in a few days. They are all honest people. The master is free. time to see, "

Shen Jinyu: "Well,"

"By the way, a girl surnamed Yue came to you today and said she was your senior sister who had been waiting in the main courtyard until now," Fu Sheng said, looking at Shen Jinyu's expression.

A senior sister named Yue?Yue Ling, what is she doing here?
Shen Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then said lightly, "Understood, you go down first, I'll go and have a look,"

"Yes! Master," Fu Sheng walked to the gate of the main courtyard and stopped going in. His dumb daughter-in-law came over from the side and asked, "That girl is so beautiful, I'm afraid she is not the master's sweetheart?"

"Ru Yun, don't talk nonsense," Fu Sheng pulled her away, "This is the master's business, don't talk nonsense, don't worry about it,"

When Shen Jinyu stepped into the courtyard gate, Yue Ling was standing under a cherry tree in the courtyard, looking at the small green buds and flower buds that had just emerged from the branches. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and smiled,

"Jinyu,"

Today she was wearing a moon-white plain dress with cross-neck and wide sleeves, a white jade pendant with a red string tied around her waist, and a tassel bell was hanging from the jade pendant, which made a ringing sound when she walked.She stood far away, gentle and charming, like a goddess descended from heaven.

Shen Jinyu glanced at her lightly, without moving in his heart, he asked Yue Ling to come in and sit down, poured her a glass of water, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Yue Ling took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Shen Jinyu: "This is the jade pendant Duan Mufeng gave me. I will be your hostage."
