State of Chu, Shangyang Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It has entered the summer, the weather is gradually getting hotter, standing in the Qingyin Pavilion, looking around, only to see a pool of clear lotus swaying in the wind, exuding bursts of cold incense.

Su Jingxuan, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood in the pavilion, standing with his hands in his hands, and the cold aura emanating from his body was even worse than this lotus fragrance.

Lin Rui cautiously followed behind, looking at Su Jingxuan's back, only feeling bitterly lonely.

And what caused this loneliness, there is no need to guess, he also knows.

The secret agents who had returned from Hopeless Town and Yan Kingdom had just arrived, and whether or not to report the news they had brought back to Su Jingxuan at this time made Lin Rui a little entangled.

At this moment, I heard a report from a eunuch waiting not far away: "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao is here." ”

Hearing this, Su Jingxuan came back to his senses from this pool full of clear lotus, he turned around, sat down elegantly on the stone table in front of him, and nodded.

After a short time, the eunuch led Lord Xiao, who was already over the age of six, to come forward and pay respects.

"Your Majesty, the autumn selection has entered the final screening, this is the last picture scroll of fifty talented women left, wait for Your Majesty to make a preliminary decision first, and then the personnel to be determined will be arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to live in Yunxiu Palace, and then learn the rules of the palace, and then through Your Majesty to select the position of these talented women. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyes, cautiously glanced at Su Jingxuan's face, and saw Su Jingxuan's expressionless face looking at the tea on the stone table, and did not refute or object, Lord Xiao hurriedly turned his head and glanced at the little eunuch holding a box of scrolls not far behind him, and motioned for him to come forward.

The little eunuch understood, hurriedly lowered his head, carefully walked forward with the box of scrolls, and then knelt down and presented it to the stone table where Su Jingxuan was sitting.

Seeing this, Su Jingxuan didn't say anything, only said: "Lord Xiao has worked hard." ”

Hearing this, Lord Xiao's heart was full of joy, and his heart was almost jumping out of fright, because the moody emperor in front of him was unfathomable, and God knows how many layers of meaning he said in the two words "hard", especially before that, he had also resolutely opposed the autumn election and the concubine in the court.

God knows, how did this kind of drudgery that offended the emperor fall on his head, seeing that Su Jingxuan was not angry at this time, nor was he happy at all, the whole person was calm as if it was a pool of eternal autumn water, without waves, which made Lord Xiao more and more bottomless, for a while, he had never been so annoyed that he was usually not very good at being an official in the court, nor was he very good at managing interpersonal relationships, otherwise, he would not have been pushed to himself by the ministers.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt bitter in his heart.

However, this kind of suffering can only be swallowed by himself.

However, at this time, Su Jingxuan just said this faint sentence, and he didn't even have a superfluous expression, and Lord Xiao's heart seemed to have experienced nine deaths and a thousand turns in his life.

Time has never been so long.

After hearing Su Jingshuo say, "You go down first." ”

After that, Lord Xiao almost fell down as soon as his knees weakened, but fortunately, he has been an official in the court for many years, and he has seen too many ups and downs of the world, so in the end, he can barely hold up his spirits, and he will not be flustered after giving Su Jingxuan a thank you for retiring.

It wasn't until Master Xiao retreated that Lin Rui, who was standing on the side, felt that his head was a little big at this time.

If you were still hesitating and hesitating before, should you present the news obtained by the secret agents in your hands to Su Jingshuo at this time, but at this time, I saw the portrait of the girl presented by Master Xiao, and Su Jingxuan didn't seem to object.

If they knew the news they were going to present next and the impact that this news might have on their masters, would he be killed by the eyes of the ministers of the court, especially the elders of the three dynasties?

Thinking of this, Lin Rui only felt a chill in his neck, and his back was also a little cold.

However, before he could finish his entanglement, he saw that Su Jingxuan had elegantly raised his hand and picked up the green jade teacup on the stone table, carefully brushed aside the tea foam on it, and then took a sip, and said slowly: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Huh?"

For a while, Lin Rui hadn't come back to his senses, but he heard that Su Jingxuan had already taken the initiative to ask, so he had to temporarily forget the eyes of the elders of the Three Dynasties with bright eyes in his mind, and then lowered his eyes and walked in front of Su Jingshuo to report: "The spies are back." ”

"I know. ”

Su Jingxuan raised his hand and gently rubbed the edge of the tea cup with the tea lid, raised his eyes to look at Lin Rui, and under his surprised gaze, he continued: "Your expression can't be hidden." ”

Hearing this, Lin Rui was a little discouraged, he spread his hands, and his heart really couldn't hide anything from the seven-trick exquisite heart of the person in front of him, so he was no longer entangled, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty's autumn election is about to come to an end, at this most critical moment, the minister doesn't want to disturb Your Majesty's mind because of other things, otherwise, once the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces make trouble again, Your Majesty should have a headache again." ”

His words fell, but he heard Su Jingshuo laugh softly.

Although he was smiling, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he said with a little coldness between his eyebrows: "When will it start, the lonely Manchu Dynasty civil and military will let Lord Lin worry?"

"Don't dare!"

Sure enough, it was his own hesitation just now that made Su Jingxuan unhappy, and the words he said were like knives, instantly poking a few holes in Lin Rui's heart, he was secretly annoyed, and knelt down neatly to admit his mistake, and no longer went around the bend, and said directly: " The minister has just received the news from the spies from Hopeless Town, the last time His Majesty insisted on going to Hopeless Town, and after having to stay because of the change in the court, he ordered their Heavenly Killer subordinates in the underground dark market to draw the appearance of several people who came into contact that night to find masks, this is their portrait, but I don't know if their memory is biased after such a long time, will they remember wrong......"

Lin Rui's voice behind him had gradually weakened, because he saw that Su Jingxuan's eyes were already shooting towards him like a sharp sword, and he didn't dare to hesitate anymore and quickly took out the secret letter from his sleeve.

Their rule, this kind of letter sealed with fire paint can only be read by Su Jingshuo alone without Su Jingshuo's permission, so after he took it, he didn't dare to open it without authorization.

But I can guess that there must be portraits of those two people in it.

When Su Jingxuan saw the secret letter, his eyes lit up, and a crystal light flashed through it, and then he hurriedly stretched out his hand and snatched the secret letter from Lin Rui's hand with lightning speed.

However, when he raised his hand to open it, he was stunned in place.

What if, after unfolding, the two people in this portrait are not her?

Thinking of this, Su Jingxuan's hands, who had always been calm and composed, began to tremble slightly.

His hand that opened the secret letter paused in mid-air, and he didn't dare to move, he was afraid that after he tore it open, he wouldn't see the figure that had been thinking about it for a long time, and he was afraid that the last only hope would be ruthlessly shattered by himself.

He was there, eager to ask for a testimony and to know that she was alive and well, but he was terrified, afraid that the last hope would be dashed.

For a moment, the air was surprisingly quiet.

And Lin Rui didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, at this time, Su Jingxuan's whole body exuded a coldness and tranquility that he had never felt before, and this kind of aura made Lin Rui feel difficult and dangerous to breathe, he subconsciously took a few steps back, wanting to stay away from Su Jingxuan, who was scared at the moment.

And just as Lin Rui's steps took a step back quietly, Su Jingxuan, who was still trembling his hands just now, suddenly moved, only to see a trace of absoluteness in his eyes, and then raised his hand to tear the fire paint seal neatly, took out the letter inside as quickly as possible, and then unfolded it, and then the whole person was petrified in place as if just now.

But in the blink of an eye, his hands trembled slightly, and at this time, his eyes were rolling with excitement and excitement, and they were not at all full of worry and fear as before.

That's it......

The slim young man who came in and out of the underground dark market auction hall in Hopeless Town was Miss Chu!

Seeing Su Jingshuo showing such an expression, Lin Rui only felt like he had accompanied Su Jingxuan through the dream of three lives.

Without waiting for Lin Rui to recover from this huge mood fluctuation, he heard Su Jingxuan speak: "What about the news from Yan Kingdom?"

As soon as Su Jingxuan's words came out, Lin Rui was stunned again.

Su Jingxuan, who was fine just now, just opened the envelope's kung fu voice became so hoarse!

There was also an inexplicable pain in his heart, thinking of the friendship of his master Su Jingxuan to Miss Chu, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly replied: " It is said that Yuxiang has been away from Yan for a long time, and King Yan took advantage of Yuxiang's absence to retake charge of Yan State, and carried out a thorough combing of Yan's court situation, and in the past, with King Yan's fear of Yuxiang, he categorically did not dare to do it when Yuxiang left, but this time it was so abnormal, according to the secret agent we planted in the palace of King Yan, it was reported that Yuxiang had fallen into the trap of King Yan and went to Liao, and there was no chance to come back. ”

Lin Rui's words came to this point, but he heard a crisp click.

It turned out that Su Jingxuan's hand that had just picked up the teacup crushed the teacup with subconscious force.

The sharp shards of the green jade teacup pierced the skin in his palm in an instant, and in the fist where he was still clenching the shards, there was already a red blood stain.

Seeing this, Lin Rui didn't care about his identity, so he hurriedly bent down and raised his hand to break off Su Jingxuan's hand that was still holding the fragments, and pulled out the fragments of the green jade teacup that pierced the skin in his palm, and called the palace maid behind him: "Hurry up and get the medicine." ”

But Su Jingshuo didn't seem to feel it at all, and didn't care about the pain in his palm at this moment, he raised his eyes to look at Lin Rui, and said word by word: "You mean, King Yan means that he has set a trap in the Liao Kingdom, just waiting for Yu Shenyuan to go and not return?"

Seeing that Su Jingxuan's focus was all on this matter, Lin Rui didn't dare to be sloppy, and immediately replied: "It shouldn't be wrong, otherwise, with King Yan's cautious temperament, he would definitely not dare to turn his face with Yu Shenyuan before he was completely sure." ”

Hearing this, Su Jingxuan's eyes tightened, and he hurriedly said: "You immediately order to go down, gather the ministers for an hour and then meet in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then spread the commander of the three armies to see Gu immediately." ”

"Your Majesty, ...... this?"

Suddenly seeing Su Jingxuan's solemn expression and arranging such an important matter, Lin Rui was also a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask more.

But fortunately, this time Su Jingxuan didn't bother with him, he said in a voice that was already a little hoarse: "Gu must arrange all the government affairs in the fastest time, and try to rush to Hopeless Town in the shortest possible time and go to Liaoguo." ”

Hearing this, Lin Rui stiffened on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning, he was stunned for a while, and finally came back to his senses under Su Jingxuan's cold and resolute gaze, his voice trembled a little and stammered: "Your Majesty...... Under...... You're ......"

Su Jingshuo raised his hand and crumpled one of the portraits in the palm of his hand, and then exerted two points of internal force slightly, and the paper ball became powder in the blink of an eye and spread it in the palm of his hand.

Seeing Lin Rui's look of seeing a ghost, Su Jingshuo stood up, turned his back to Lin Rui, looked at the slowly pooled clear lotus, and said in a tone full of worry: "Ah Sheng is walking with Yu Shenyuan." ”

The implication is that if Yu Shenyuan goes to the Liao Kingdom and encounters a trap and dies for a lifetime, it will also bring Chu Yunsheng's life to danger.

He had almost lost her, and now that he knew that she was about to face danger, and might even be in danger, how could he sit idly by, at this moment, he couldn't wait to fly to Liao immediately with wings on his body.

However, no matter how excited and nervous he was, the little reason he had left told him that he could not be reckless.

If he can save Chu Yunsheng single-handedly, then King Yan's trap is also equivalent to a piece of cake for Yu Shenyuan, and the trap that can put Yu Shenyuan to death, he may not be able to succeed alone, so this matter must have a comprehensive layout.

Thinking of this, Su Jingxuan came back to his senses, turned around and found that Lin Rui was still stunned, his eyebrows furrowed, and a touch of impatience appeared on his beautiful face: "Don't go yet?"

Although the voice was not loud, it was extremely fierce and murderous, although he knew that Su Jingshuo would not kill himself because of this, he was Mingjun and not a moody tyrant, but Su Jingshuo in such a state still made Lin Rui shudder.

Sure enough, whenever he encountered something about Miss Chu, he could make his master run away at any time.

wanted to bring it here, Lin Rui didn't dare to delay any longer, and even forgot to do the ceremony, so he directly pulled out his legs and went on an errand.

When Lin Rui ran away all the way, Su Jingxuan, who was standing by the pool, raised his hand and pressed the position of his chest, at this time, he only felt that his chest, which had been cold and had no temperature at all, was hot again.

Because, in that position, in the secret letter that was properly placed, there was a portrait of a woman disguised as a man.
