Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Bai Zhusheng's lower jaw was shaking so hard that it was about to fall apart, and his upper and lower teeth chattered, making a clear grinding sound. I don’t know if it’s fear or hatred.

He looked up to the sky and laughed, and then looked fiercely at the calm young man on the bamboo chair: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, you said you wanted to eliminate dissidents on behalf of Feng Xianzi. In fact, it was just a grudge against the noble concubine in the past. Feng Xian How can the Crown Prince trust you so innocently after knowing this? If you let me go to see the Crown Prince, the grudge between the old man and His Highness will be wiped out forever. This will be a good thing for you, the old man, and the Crown Prince."

Concubine Ning Jinyun, Emperor Xiaowen and Prince Qing were childhood sweethearts.

Back then, Bai Zhusheng had advised King Qing to use old friendship as bait to lure Ning Jinyun out of the palace, so as to avoid accidentally injuring Ning Jinyun when the two factions fought. Prince Qing naturally had a brotherly feeling for Ning Jinyun, but Bai Zhusheng's plan behind it was to use Ning Jinyun as a hostage to threaten Emperor Xiaowen. Although this incident did not directly lead to Ning Jinyun's death, it was the trigger for the complete breakdown of the relationship between Concubine Jing and Emperor Xiaowen, which led to her ending in depression after childbirth.

Shen Yuning seemed to have heard something ridiculous and laughed softly: "Idiots are just talking."

"You -" Bai Zhusheng shouted sharply, his mouth slightly opened, and he wanted to say something, but his throat soon became silent.

"ended."

After a faint sigh, the sound of metal and air colliding sounded in the bamboo house. The four willow leaf darts were immersed into Bai Zhusheng's limbs respectively. The bones were clearly visible and the positions were precise. Bai Zhusheng just fell to the ground quietly, his pupils dilated, and he soon lost his breath.

Shen Yuning slowly walked out of the house, still looking bright and cold.

The Xuanfu Army is already the most powerful army. After running around without sleep for ten days and ten nights, there will occasionally be a look of fatigue on their faces. But there was never any gap or fatigue on Shen Yuning's face.

When the men in black outside saw him coming out, they all clenched their fists and bowed their arms in salute.

Xuan Ye followed behind, looking tired but letting out a long sigh of relief. The master returned to Beijing for three years, and finally found the whereabouts of Bai Zhusheng. Now, not only did he use Bai Zhusheng to get rid of the fourth prince's people and instigate the Nie and Liu families, but he also avenged the past and finally settled his worries.

He winked at the two men in black, and the two men quickly flashed into the bamboo house to clean up the scene like a phantom.

After hesitating for a moment, Xuan Ye frowned and said: "Master, this matter cannot be hidden from the Crown Prince Fengxian. Although Bai Zhusheng did something wrong, his heart is for the Crown Prince after all. You got rid of him quietly. If the Crown Prince finds out, I'm afraid Not very pleasant."

Shen Yuning sneered: "Why should I be afraid of him? If you are really worried, just lie to him when sending the message. It won't affect the overall situation anyway."

Xuan Ye was silent.

Although Prince Fengxian is eight years older than his master, he still listens to his master's opinions on most things, and it is impossible to ignore years of friendship for a little person like Bai Zhusheng. Speaking of which, he was unfounded.

He ignored the matter, glanced at the sky, and said, "This subordinate is talking too much. It's getting late. Master, do you want to rest nearby in Yixiangyuan tonight?"

Shen Yuning replied calmly: "No, I have something to go back to the palace."

Xuan Ye's expression perked up.

The master never likes to stay in the palace, so it must be a big deal to rush back to the palace at such a late hour. He didn't think much about it and was about to bow and leave when he heard Shen Yuning say: "Maybe I smell blood on me?"

There is a smell of blood in the air that cannot be concealed by incense.

Xuan Ye was puzzled, but he still said truthfully: "Master, yes." He chuckled again: "But it's all masculine."

Shen Yuning didn't smile, and glanced at him with a frown: "Smelly. Go get my clothes."

When Shen Yuning is on the move, he often needs to switch between different identities, and sometimes he has to work hard for more than half a month. Therefore, Xuan Ye, his subordinate, would thoughtfully prepare a few more clothes for him. Soon, Xuan Ye took out ten pieces of clothing from the baggage on the horse's back. There were all kinds of clothes, and the materials were of the highest quality.

The men in black who cleaned up the scene were quick and deft. They had thrown Bai Zhusheng's body into a cloth bag and carried it out of the bamboo house.

Shen Yuning carefully picked out some clothes and entered the bamboo house.

When he walked out again, he changed into a black narrow-sleeved python robe that he only occasionally wore in the palace. He had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like a crown of jade. Compared with his appearance just now, he is a little less arrogant and more graceful.

Only at this time could Xuan Ye realize that his master still had the identity of a second-level prince, and even his mind could clear up a bit.

Shen Yuning flew on the horse and whipped the horse to control it. His body was as strong as an eagle and as bright as a shooting star. Without any unnecessary words of farewell, in the blink of an eye, only a blurred back figure was left for the remaining people.

A tall man in black pulled down his mask, stepped forward and patted Xuan Ye on the shoulder: "Let's go. Stop looking, the master has gone far."

Xuan Ye looked at the direction Shen Yuning left, pressed his chin, and shook his head: "Something is wrong, something is very wrong."

"What's wrong?" The man in black felt that Xuan Ye had convulsions again.

Xuan Ye pondered for a moment and boldly speculated: "You and I have been with the master for so many years. How have we ever seen the master so ugly and beautiful? He has never relied on beauty to make a living."

"Master still relies on beauty to make a living? You are so funny." The man in black crossed his chest and sneered.

Speaking of which, when he first met Shen Yuning before joining the Xuanfu Army, he thought it was a useless embroidered pillow. It can be seen that after seeing his master's ability, he realized that this was not the case. Huh, if you don't have any real ability, why should you be worthy of him?

Xuan Ye glanced at Peregrine Falcon, but his eyes suddenly froze, and a thoughtful smile suddenly appeared on his fierce face, which was a bit kind. Peregrine Falcon was so scared that he subconsciously wanted to punch him.

Xuan Ye ducked sideways, pointed at him and said with a smile: "Haha, I remembered! Every time you go to see Gou Yue, you have to carefully pick out your clothes for a long time."

Peregrine Falcon's face suddenly turned red and he shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about! You don't think that the master is going to meet a woman, do you? It's absolutely impossible, the master is not interested in women."

Xuan Ye hated the iron and said: "Master doesn't like women, how can he like men? You are a wooden head, you don't understand even if you say it."

Another voice from the man in black came from behind: "What are you two talking about? Let's go quickly, we can finally have a good sleep!"

※※※

At four o'clock in the morning, the moonlight was like water, and everything was silent.

In Lanfang Zhai, the lights had been turned off, and the moonlight leaked in through the gaps in the window lattice and sprinkled on the ground.

Huo Qi lay on the bed and fell into a light sleep.

She had a dream, and the fragmented fragments were like the octagonal revolving lantern she bought at the market when she was a child, bizarre and fragmented.

First, on her eighth birthday, Yuan Shao stood in front of her, holding her favorite phoenix tail bamboo, and said with a careful smile: "Qiqi, do you like it? If you like it, I will give it to you every day, not just It’s a birthday.”

The next moment, the face grew bigger and distorted beyond recognition. He put a sword on her neck and declared condescendingly: "Huo Qi, Ningguo Duke's mansion, will behead everyone at noon tomorrow."

After a while, Huo Ruhai stood in front of the landscape painting hanging on the wall of the study room and talked to her a lot.

"Qiqi, if you know some things, it will only ruin your stable life. What the Huo family needs is not to be smart, but to pretend to be stupid."

"When people look at our Huo family's beautiful flowers, some are envious and some are jealous. But only the head of the family knows how difficult it is to maintain the family business."

"My father is old, but he will protect you and let you be the crown prince concubine of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, so that you will be safe throughout your life."

She also dreamed that when she got married in her previous life, Wang Qin held her hand with tears in her eyes and refused to let go for a long time. Huo Ruhai nodded to her, she bowed and got into the sedan chair, and her father was as silent as a pine tree. Then there was Huo Xian's green and black corpse, pale lips, and large areas of blood and sword shadows.

In the end, those scenes turned into large tracts of white light.

But there was a young man in black clothes walking against the light, and his face could not be seen clearly. I could only hear him say: "Huo Qi, your destiny is in your own hands."

A dream in Huang Liang, half a life is absurd.

Huo Qi opened his eyes, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with clarity. She stood up and bowed her back, like a half-broken green bamboo.

After her rebirth, she has maintained a good mood. But on such an ordinary night, those emotions that had been sorted out were like evil beasts being released from the cage, tearing her apart and devouring her.

And she was undefended.

She raised her eyes and looked out the window.

The bright moon hangs on the treetops, and the night is vast and silent.

I'm destined to not be able to sleep well tonight, maybe it would be better to go out for a walk. She no longer forced herself to fall asleep, she simply put on her coat, tied up her long hair with a wooden hairpin, took a cloak in hand, stood up and went out.

Lanfangzhai is inaccessible. There are not many people there during the day, and even less people are seen at night. She didn't go far, and she was pointing to a unique pavilion three feet outside the house.

The top of the pavilion is covered with dark and rough tiles, which are somewhat mottled and old. In the center is a group of stone tables and benches, with stone stairs at the back extending down to a large pond.

Looking from the front of the pavilion, the lotus leaves in the pond are green with a few tender pink bones. The delicate fragrance of lotus leaves floats in the breeze, which can already remind people of the scene of the fragrant pond filled with lotus flowers in midsummer.

Huo Qi climbed up the stone stairs in front and stood staring. Only then did he realize that among the large lotus leaves, there was a lonely boat.

There was a young man lying on the boat.

He put his head in his hands, closed his eyes and fell asleep, seeming to be in a deep sleep.

The two chapters before and after explain why Huo Qi and Lao Qi met in Qingyin Pavilion. Lao Qi’s wolf cub (green tea) attributes are slowly coming to light. Both he and Huo Qi took revenge scripts, the core of which was the story of two highly similar souls attracting each other. In addition, ahem, don’t imitate Peregrine Falcon, a lowly follower in the workplace who can’t figure out the thoughts of his boss hahaha. ^o^
