Chapter 284 Chapter 287

Some residents in the market also knew some gossip, and they were talking in low voices——

"I heard that the emperor got a long-lost legendary tripod, and it will be used as the treasure of the dragon boat!"

"The divine tripod was delivered to the dragon boat yesterday, I really want to know what it looks like..."

The four of Shen Mu spent half a day recuperating in Daliang City, ate some local delicacies in a restaurant, drank two altars of sorghum wine, and bought some dry food and necessities in the city, but there was no Tuoba Yuer. He went to the side to discuss the news, "Everyone—since the tripod has been transported to the dragon boat, and there is still no news of Yu'er in Daliang City, maybe we should try to sneak into the dragon boat first."

"Well, I think so too. Then let's go to the pier and see if there is a way to sneak into the dragon boat?"

When the four of them came to Daliang Port, they saw a super luxurious dragon boat. The dragon boat was tall and had four stories, 45 feet high and 200 feet long.There are 120 rooms on the second floor in the middle.These boats are all decorated with dan powder, decorated with gold, jade, pearls and emeralds, with exquisite carvings. The lower floor is the residence of the servants, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

The four of Shen Mu escaped the guards and boarded this luxurious and huge dragon boat, and quietly came to a tripod room of the dragon boat. It is strange to say that this tripod room is not guarded, and in the center of the tripod room, there is a There is a big bronze tripod.

"Ah, is this the Shennong Cauldron?!" Xiaoxue stepped forward to touch the Shennong Cauldron, and one ear of the tripod suddenly fell off, everyone was shocked.

Xiaoxue was so shocked that she was speechless: "I, I, I——"

"What's going on - this cauldron... how could it...?" Chen Jingchou asked in surprise.

Xiaoxue's face was almost like a bun, "Yes, I'm sorry... I really... really don't know that the tripod should not be touched... I just touch it lightly..."

Chen Jingchou comforted: "Don't be sad, Xiaoxue! It's Ding's own fault, and it's not your fault—"

Shen Mu also stepped forward to touch the tripod, and a tripod leg fell again: "Hmph, sure enough—"

"What's the sound—" At this moment, a father-in-law dressed as a eunuch suddenly entered the room, "What, who? How did you get in—"

Shen Mu and the others drew out their weapons and approached him.

"Wow, forgive me—" the eunuch's legs trembled in fright, and he fell to his knees.

"It's very kind of you to come—we've got a lot of questions and we want to ask you!"

"Forgive...forgive...my lord...please forgive me..."

"It's okay to spare your life—but first tell me what's going on with this cauldron? Why does it become such a virtue when you touch it?"

"Master... this tripod is a fake! The real tripod... It, it was robbed by a group of thieves on the way from the canal to this place—"

"Thieves—?"

"No... I don't know... We don't know who they are... We... We only know that the leader is very tall, riding a yellow fat horse, holding two giant Xuanhua axes... He...he is very powerful, none of our officers and soldiers are opponents, so...the tripod was...he was robbed...we were afraid that the emperor would know that we had lost the tripod, and he would be furious and condemn us, so the Master Chief ordered everyone to go all the way Searching for bronze from the folk, before reaching Daliang, cast a fake tripod to make up for it - the Holy Majesty didn't find it, and he was very happy, and rewarded us a lot!"

"——hahaha!" Zhang Lie laughed disdainfully: "A foolish king is a foolish king, no wonder the world will be made so virtuous by him."

The eunuch knelt on the ground, with hesitation on his face, and said: "But, but... the Grand Master Yuwen who originally presented the tripod to the emperor was also there... When he saw the tripod, he frowned on the spot! But fortunately, Mr. Yuwen Didn't say anything, but scared the hell out of us all—ah!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Mu finished the eunuch together.

Then quietly came to the beam of the dragon boat roof, at this moment, Xiaoxue pointed to the back of a court lady and said, "Look, who is that—is it Sister Tuoba?"

Shen Mu and the others looked together and saw a court lady passing by with a tray.

Zhang Lie looked at the graceful back of the court lady, but said with strong steps: "The figure is very similar, it is possible—"

"And she's still carrying a plate, not knowing where she's going..."

Chen Jingchou asked: "Brother Zhang—shall we go down now and check with her?"

Zhang Lie shook his head and said, "No——now we are on the enemy ship. In case of emergency, it will not be easy to get out...Let's observe from above first."

"Ah——she ran away in that direction, we have to hurry up!"

Along the roof beams of the dragon boat as wide as a road, the four of them came to a large hall. Chen Jingchou looked down at the hall and said, "It's so lively down here... I don't know where it is?"

Shen Mu looked at the main hall below. The singing and dancing in the main hall was luxurious and extravagant, "Well...it looks like the Dragon Boat Hall is below, and we are right above the main hall where the Dragon Boat Emperor is—"

"...Really?" Chen Jingchou locked his eyes on the high seat in the hall, wearing a yellow robe, squinting his eyes, looking at the singing girls dancing on the smoky dance floor, and stroked the two mustaches on his lips, "Then... That person in the yellow robe is the current emperor?"

Shen Mu looked at the seductive look in the yellow-robed man's eyes, and the faint dragon aura emanating from his body, nodded and said: "It should be right - this guy is called Yang Guang, and he is a shameless man who killed his father and brother." only."

"Ah, so the emperor looks like this..." Xiaoxue covered her mouth in surprise and whispered.

"Haha, my lords—today is such a joy—" Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, laughed lewdly and said, "The weeping willows on the embankment have been completed, and I will order the dragon boat to set sail tomorrow and head straight to the south of the Yangtze River!"

The two courtiers beside him quickly flattered and said: "The emperor uses a young girl to ride a dragon boat. This is truly an unprecedented feat!"

"In order to prevent the girls from being overwhelmed by the heat, the emperor paid a lot of willows for them, and the benevolence and virtue were widely covered. The ministers are very grateful!"

The flattery was very useful, and Emperor Sui Yang was very complacent, "Hahaha - spring water and green willows, beautiful faces complement each other, this is an elegant thing in the world! I think I am a romantic emperor, how can I see so many beautiful women in pink and white?" I pull the boat and get out of breath, but I don't do anything for them?"

The courtier beside him quickly smiled and bowed flatteringly: "Your Majesty is truly benevolent! I would like to present a poem to Your Majesty, please accept it with a smile: The brocade cable is delicate and charming, and the fragrance is covered by green willows; if it is not holy With a deep heart and kindness, how can the embankment turn into a cool shade?"

Hearing this poem, the smile on the corners of Emperor Sui Yang's mouth deepened, he nodded and said, "Good, good -- Yuwen Aiqing's poem won my heart, it's wonderful!"

"Thank you for your majesty's long grace—the mere lyrical words and melody make you laugh at your majesty..."

……

"Wow—so the emperor's life is like this?" Chen Jingchou couldn't help feeling envious.

Shen Mu smiled coldly and said: "The common people outside are living in dire straits, this dog emperor is very happy! But it seems that the maid just now has not been found here... I'd better go to the other side to have a look."

Shen Mu walked to the other side of the girder, Xiaoxue and Zhang Lie stayed where they were, and Jing Qiu followed, "Speaking of which, this Yang Guang should be a very capable and smart person. But his cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness. The whole court is full of flattering ministers, so the world will become more and more miserable."

"I heard from Master that our country of Chen was like this before, so it was finally destroyed by the Sui people!" Chen Jingchou said, his eyes flickered, and he asked Shen Mu: "By the way, Brother Shen—the one who was given wine by the emperor just now!" That minister, the emperor called him Yuwen, could he be the Grand Master Yuwen?"

Shen Mu said: "Actually, Shen has never met Grand Master Yuwen—since his name is Yuwen, maybe he is? However, this guy looks like a flatterer, and in my heart, Grand Master Yuwen is an enemy." The impression of heroes and heroes, but the truth goes a thousand miles—”

In fact, this Yuwen is not Yuwen Tuo, the grand master of Yuwen, but Yu Wenshu, the favorite minister of Emperor Sui Yang.Yu Wenshu was a master at patting horses and Liuxu, and was deeply favored by Emperor Sui Yang. At one time, the power was all over the court, and Emperor Sui Yang obeyed his words without hesitation.At that time, Zhang Jin, the general of the left guard, had the same official position as Yu Wenshu. He once commented on Yu Wenshu. It's against each other.

Yu Wenshu is greedy and despicable, so that "knowing that people have rare things, they must ask for them."Some rich merchants and the sons of Hu people in Longyou rushed to give gold and silver treasures, and Yu Wenshu promoted them to officials and called them sons.From then on, these people competed to bribe Yu Wenshu, so that gold and silver treasures piled up like mountains, countless.Yu Wenshu also has hundreds of concubines and beauties in his backyard, more than a thousand children in his family, and many good horses at the same time.Yu Wenshu's prosperity and wealth were unmatched at that time.

At this time, His Highness Emperor Sui Yang laughed again and said: "Hahaha——I am very popular in poetry today, so I should also write a poem to share with Aiqing?"

As he said, he chanted loudly: "The clouds bloom, the shadows shake, the green water is warm, the sky is soft and the spring is soft! The slender girl has a graceful waist and thin limbs, and she is ashamed to kill the willows on the embankment... The silk and bamboo boats are charming, the jade in the palace is sweet, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and they are romantic through the ages. , the son of the Sui family!"

"well--!"

"Your Majesty's Imperial Yuefu has a profound artistic conception, and the rhythm is exquisite, and the ministers are far inferior to it—" Yu Wenshu quickly complimented.

"Speaking of being so happy today, it is all thanks to the green willows in the shade of the embankment... Good! Listen up, my lords—I have decided to bestow the imperial surname 'Yang' on the willow trees. From now on, all willow trees in the country will be renamed willows, and they belong to the same family as me. , what do you think?" Sui Yang Emperor said proudly, and glanced at the favorite ministers beside him.

"Your Majesty's sage--! Grace and all things in the world--"

……

Shen Mu said disdainfully: "These monarchs and ministers are really having a good time...the world of my family is almost lost, but it seems that no one knows about it yet."

Chen Jingchou teased: "Oh, it turns out that surnames can be given to plants and trees in this way. It's really novel—good~~ Then I will also give the surname to the papaya plant in the backyard of my master's house, and I will call it 'Chen Gua' from now on. 'Bar!"

Xiaoxue smiled and said, "People think 'Yangliu' sounds pretty good, but 'Chen Gua' is a bit dull..."

Chen Jingchou rolled his eyes and came to Zhang Lie, "Brother Zhang, I still haven't seen that court lady over there... have you found anything?"

"No." Zhang Lie shook his head and said, "It seems that she should have gone another way."

Xiaoxue suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Ah - she appeared, she appeared... I saw that lady-in-waiting! Then... that lady-in-waiting who looks very similar to Sister Tuoba just came in with a wine tray !"

……

"Hahaha~~Yuwen Aiqing, another cup, another cup—" Emperor Sui Yang was drinking happily.

At this time, a court lady who was very similar to Tuoba Yu'er held a wine tray, saluted Sui Yang Emperor, lowered her head and said: "Servant, please add new wine for Your Majesty!"

Emperor Sui Yang scratched his head, his eyes showed a trace of strangeness and said: "Huh... I didn't give you an order?"

The palace maid did not show any signs of change, and said: "Your Majesty has been feasting for a long time, the wine is cold and the food is cold, and this servant is here to add new wine to your Majesty!"

"Hahaha, that's how it is~~" Emperor Sui Yang laughed, nodded and said, "You guys are very thoughtful, but I was negligent——Okay~~ When the food and wine get cold, it hurts my spirit, so you can quickly add something new to me."

"Yes—" The court lady picked up the wine tray and stepped forward.

"Wait a moment---!"

Emperor Sui Yang raised his head and glanced at the maid, with a strange look in his eyes, "Don't move, that's right... Raise your head slowly, let me look carefully—"

This court lady who was very similar to Tuoba Yuer knelt on the ground, raised her head and then lowered her head.

"Damn it—" Emperor Sui Yang stared at the stunning face of this court lady, and was stunned for a moment. He couldn't help swallowing, his Adam's apple slid up and down twice, and exclaimed: "There is such a beautiful woman who is sideways with her servant girl!" Among them, I didn’t know! Yu Wife, come here, take a look—this baby is really a peerless beauty, isn’t it?”

"It is indeed a beautiful woman... My concubine congratulates His Majesty on your blessings." Empress Xiao couldn't help feeling a little jealous, but she didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty stared at the court lady leeringly for a long time before asking, "When did you come?"

This court lady felt furious when Emperor Sui Yang showed her her heart, "Your Majesty, the maidservant came the day before yesterday..."

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty waved to the maid and said, "Come, come, tell me—what is your name?"

The palace maid took a few steps forward and said softly; "The servant's surname is Yuan..."

Emperor Sui Yang was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "So it's Beauty Yuan! Come on, come on, let me take a closer look—"

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." The maid with her head bowed took a few steps forward, but with a subtle murderous intent in her eyes, she suddenly threw the wine plate away, threw off her coat, and drew out her long knife, causing the rest of the people to run away in shock.

"Ah!... There are assassins!...Ah!" The court ladies and ministers fled, and several soldiers stepped forward, but they were all killed by Tuoba Yu'er who showed his true face!
"You, who are you—?" Emperor Sui Yang hurriedly took a few steps back in shock.

This court lady is indeed Tuoba Yu'er in disguise, "A senseless and foolish monarch—dissolute and extravagant, a great success, only killing innocent little clans to brag about—today I will kill you stupid dog to avenge my parents! "

"Help, help—" Emperor Sui Yang had been addicted to drinking and sex for many years, and his martial courage had long since disappeared, especially after he became emperor, he was even more afraid of death.

Tuoba Yu'er killed the soldiers who rushed over, "Hmph, Lord Gouhun—do you know how long I've been preparing for this day? To me, one enemy against a hundred is just a matter of routine—you're doomed today Now, obediently present your head!"

"Help... help... don't kill me!" Emperor Sui Yang shouted for help, his legs trembling in fright, and he almost knelt down to Tuoba Yuer: "You, how much gold and silver do you want, I... I'll give you everything...don't kill me!"

"Hmph... who needs your bloody things? Take your life—" Tuoba Yu'er stepped forward, but was bounced away by a person who suddenly appeared!
