Chapter Twenty-Seven: Woe Arises
The night was quiet, and the hazy sky was dark and gloomy. The figure of Prince Chen's mansion flickered, and a black shadow was rushing towards the study.
The lights in the study were bright, and Xiahou Yichen, who was originally reading a book, raised his head and said, "I'm back." ”
When the words fell, a black-clothed masked man flashed out of thin air in the room, kneeling down and responding: "Yes, my subordinates are late to come back." ”
After a moment of silence, Xiahou Yichen's eyes flashed, and he chuckled and said, "Are you injured?"
"It's fine. The man in black said and stood up.
"The people who can hurt you are really not to be underestimated. ”
"The person the master wants to investigate, his subordinates have already found out, Lin Xiaoyu, an unknown monk who studied under Miling Mountain, and a junior sister is your princess Lin Xiaoyu, who debuted at the age of fifteen, has a good relationship with the rivers and lakes, and her martial arts are above me. ”
"He's the one who hurt you?"
"Indeed, I had been keeping an eye on the old thing's movements, and when he did nothing, a man in white suddenly appeared to help him move. I had to find out the details of him, so I followed his movements while inquiring, but I fell for his tricks. I was injured in the fight, he deliberately let me go and followed me, and almost exposed the movements of the 'remnant soul', but fortunately I found out in time and didn't dare to contact anyone, so I took him to get rid of him without stopping. When I went back, I was relieved to see that you had already sent them to take over. ”
Mu Xiao and Lin Xiaoyu turned out to be the same person. It seems that Lin Xiaoyou didn't recognize him at the time. It's just that since they are senior brothers and sisters, even if they have different positions, there is no need to hide their identity, what is his purpose. Xiahou Yichen was puzzled, things were getting more and more complicated, thinking that there would not be too much trouble in cooperating with Lin Xiaoyou, who knew that she would face up to her senior brother, she didn't seem to know anything, if she knew, what would she do? Help him? Or stand on her side?
"But what else?"
"There is a hunger and plague in the north of the gravel, which is the most barren place in our country, and the annual taxes are so high that the people have little left except for the taxes. In addition to last year's cold winter and heavy snowfall, and the light rain in the beginning of spring, many people began to get sick, and the plague was rampant, out of control, and countless people died of freezing and starvation. The people began to flee from their homes, and Yan Li's proximity to the country of Yueyin was the same. ”
Xiahou Yichen's face changed greatly, he stood up and said: "Who is in charge of Yanli City, the situation is strict, why didn't it play." ”
"The fold should be on the road, and the subordinates see that the situation is urgent, and come back first to report. Yi Hongyuan should already know. The man in black said with some concern.
"Hmph, this king sees that he not only already knows, maybe the trap has been planned, just wait for an opportunity, this king himself will send it to the door. Xiahou Yichen said coldly. "Go, prepare the car and enter the palace immediately. ”
"Yes," the man in black replied, turning to walk out.
"Styx, you will stay with me in the future, and leave the matter of the 'remnant soul' to Dongfan and them. As soon as he walked to the door, Xiahou Yichen's voice sounded again. It's just that this time it's different, calling myself "I" instead of "this king." ”
The black-clothed man called Ming was stunned, turned to look at Xiahou Yichen and said respectfully: "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”
"Ming, you should learn from Xiyan and Dongfan, when they follow me, they will never be as rigid as you. We grew up together and have an unquestioning trust in you and me, so I don't want anything to happen to you. In the end, Xiahou Yichen deliberately bit the word "something" very hard.
This time, the man in black, who was called Hades, didn't say anything, and nodded lightly.
The lights in the Huarui Palace have long been turned off at this moment, and only the palace lights are hanging high in the rest of the corridors, which looks cold and dim, and a little eunuch is standing by the door, taking a nap and keeping vigil.
"Go and inform the royal brother, this king has something important to discuss. ”
Leng Buding, a voice sounded, the little eunuch shivered, looked sideways at the person not far from the bottom of the stairs, fell asleep, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The slave sees the prince." ”
"Go and inform the royal brother, this king has something important to report. Xiahou Yichen said again with patience.
As long as it is a person from the palace, everyone knows the personality of this master, and it is not as harmless as it seems on the surface. Although he is the brother of the emperor's compatriot and mother, his temper is completely different, one is gentle and elegant, and the other is moody. Even if he goes in now to inform and disturb the emperor's rest, at most punish him for brushing the toilet and the like, but if he intercepts and provokes this prince, the end will be another matter, the kind of extreme means that make people worse than death is more cruel than the criminal department, compared with the two, he is more willing to do the former.
"Yes, yes, the minion will go right away. The little eunuch said in awe and ran in quickly.
Looking at his panicked expression, and the soles of his feet were as smooth as oil, Xiahou Yichen suddenly felt a little funny, and asked the person next to him sideways: "Hades, is this king terrible?"
"Well, the subordinates don't think so. I didn't expect him to ask such a question, Bei Ming was stunned for a moment and immediately gave his own answer. At this time, he had already changed out of his night clothes, wearing a blue and elegant robe, and his handsome face with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes looked a little stunned.
Xiahou Yichen didn't think much about it, turned around and went to the imperial study. It didn't take long for Xiahou Yixuan to rush over. Because he understood that if it weren't for the strict situation, he, the imperial brother, would never come to him at night.
"Say, what's going on?" As soon as he entered the study, Xiahou Yixuan went straight to the point, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was stern.
"Famine and plague broke out in the air, and the disaster was severe. ”
Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiahou Yixuan sighed secretly, thinking that he was diligent in government affairs, and he never neglected a day, and finally got to where he is today. Although he didn't receive any information about it, he didn't doubt Xiahou Yichen's news at all, and asked calmly: "How is the current shape?"
"It was a barren area, and the people had difficulty eating and drinking, and it was a rainy season in spring, and the people were sick, leading to plagues. The death of the dead, the escape of the escape, I am afraid that it is not optimistic. ”
"The plague is the most troublesome, so disaster relief is urgent. What do you think?"
"Now that the strength of the Tianjin Kingdom, the Yueyin Kingdom and our Dragon Shadow Kingdom are on par, we are friendly with the Yueyin Kingdom, and Yan Li is close to the Yueyin Kingdom, I believe that they should not have a good time on their side. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the troops, prevent the Heavenly Kingdom from taking the opportunity to provoke a war, and then carry out disaster relief. Xiahou Yichen solemnly said his thoughts, how could he still have the usual lazy and lazy attitude.
Xiahou Yixuan nodded approvingly, "I think so too, then send Bai Ninghao to deploy the defense, he is brave in battle and witty." If something really happens, he can handle it. As for this side, disaster relief is inevitable, raising troops for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, those pretentious ministers of the DPRK and China, the pillars of the court, it is time to contribute their modest efforts. ”
"The surface of the dragon shadow country is relatively stable, but in fact, there are many hidden dangers hidden in the dark, which can be described as internal and external troubles, and the most important thing now is to prevent those with ill intentions from secretly obstructing. Imagine such an urgent and important matter, the information comes so slowly, it is obvious that someone has done something. ”
"Well, their purpose is nothing more than two, to expand the situation and take advantage of the opportunity, and to come to you, the emperor. Xiahou Yixuan's face was dark, and he said a word to break through the mystery.
Xiahou Yichen smiled indifferently, there were more people who wanted his life, if it was really that easy, he wouldn't be standing here now, "Don't worry, this king's life is hard, and he won't be able to die for a while." ”
Listening to his words, Xiahou Yixuan's tense face also relaxed, he, the emperor's brother, is always this appearance of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and nothing matters, even if he is the emperor, there is nothing he can do about him.
