The water leak ticked.

Su Hui looked at him vigilantly, his eyes full of tears. Her hands were clasped on the sheets and she couldn't move, and she could only press against his hot body and choke.

In the darkness, the silver water flashed.

Sheng Yunyi squeezed her wrist tightly, her face was extremely gloomy, but the big voice that didn't know what to do came in again:

"Sleepwalking on a big night! Sister? ”

Xu Buyang and Ruixiang stomped their feet at the door anxiously, of course he heard his junior sister's exclamation, and he was too timid to go in as cannon fodder, so he could only pretend not to know what was going on, covering the mouth of the little maid and hoping that the uninvited guest would open up. Ruixiang looked at him angrily, he banged on the door, and shouted:

"It's okay if I can't sleep alone, it's wrong for you to make noise to the master......"

"Get out."

A deep voice overflowed from the crack in the door with boundless anger, and Xu Buyang was excited.

He swallowed his saliva, feeling that there should be no more interest in developing inside, so he gestured to Ruixiang and mustered up twelve points of courage to knock on the wood:

"Senior sister, I'll leave now, you be quiet."

Xu Buyang turned his head and lowered his voice, and said to the little maid very sternly: "It's okay, your girl gets up tomorrow morning, you should do nothing, the people here are something we can't afford to mess with, you know?" ”

The sound of knocking knocked on Su Wen's heart, and she woke up suddenly, and before she could shake her lips and scream, she was blocked by him again.

Sheng Yunyi waited for the footsteps to disappear before letting go of her lips, and a trace of blood slipped from the corner of her mouth. He looked at her for a long time, and the words he wanted to say couldn't be said after all.

His fingers moved to the back of her cold hand, and Su Hui retracted subconsciously, his whole body tense.

"When you're in bed with me, don't think about other people."

The dim shadow of the moon lay on the couch, her face was bloody, and her black hair was scattered weakly under him, like aquatic plants in the deep sea.

There was not a glimmer of light in his eyes, and every touch made her almost collapse with fear. Su Huihui watched him get closer and closer in vain, but his heart was as quiet as a dead man, and even the blood stopped flowing.

"I said that anyone can accuse me, you can too, anyone can hate me, but you can't."

Sheng Yunyi's gaze fell on her broken nails, and there was an awe-inspiring sting pain on her back. He took her fingers in her frightened eyes and stroked them one by one, with gentle movements.

"Su Huihui, you see, even now I can't do anything to you. I'm more scared than you. ”

He burned a deep kiss on her chest, and the red mark appeared on her snowy skin.

Su Hui warmed up and groaned involuntarily. With a groan, he felt what he was holding between his legs firm again, and he was so frightened that he raised his knees and kicked them. Sheng Yunyi didn't expect her to burst out with strength, and she was unexpectedly pushed against her waist and eyes with all her strength, and an unstable center of gravity actually fell from the edge of the low bed.

She was stunned when she heard the coo, and became ...... It worked? No one pressed her, she quickly pulled up the quilt and wrapped herself so tightly that she didn't even show her eyes.

Sheng Yunyi half-knelt beside the bed, and green tendons appeared on his forehead: "Su Huihui, you wait." ”

She didn't know if she heard it in the quilt, he gritted his teeth coldly and said, "One day you will ......"

A long strip of something was thrown out of the quilt and lay limply on the carpet.

It was the belt of his tunics.

Sheng Yunyi couldn't wait to strangle her directly in the quilt, but it took a while to calm down, hold her forehead and sigh:

"I'm sorry, it won't be like this anymore. Su Huihui, you insist on not wanting me, and I have no reason to hold on to you, right? ”

He staggered to pick up his clothes and put them on, "I'm tired, you can do whatever you like." ”

The quilt was crumpled and rolled up, Sheng Yunyi loosely draped his robe, stretched out his hand to rest on the round quilt surface, and gently stroked it a few times.

"I won't see you again," the taste of blood on his lips spread down the tip of his tongue to his throat, bitter, and he said in a very low voice, "You...... Feel relieved. ”

Su warmed his arms and ignored him.

The creaking sound of the door slamming broke her heartstrings, and she bury her head in the satin and whimpered and cried. When I was crying out of strength, I looked up and saw the white moonlight all over the ground in the haze, reflecting the room like an ice cave.

The water leak is still ringing tirelessly.

She trembled and felt for her underwear, and looked through the faint light of the window, and the traces he left behind were unsightly. I can't sleep left and right, so I put on a small coat and go down to look for a high-necked skirt, otherwise tomorrow will ...... She didn't want to go out of this room tomorrow.

Su Huihui's mind was full of chaos, and after finding the skirt, he sat on the bed for half a night.

The night is not over, the stars are swirling, and the water vapor of late spring winds down from the high treetops, wetting the corners of clothes.

There were no lights in the house, and the two adjacent rooms were as silent as if they were uninhabited. Sheng Yunyi stood alone in the wind, the clear moonlight gradually stained his sideburns, and the air was cold and indifferent.

Dense elm tassels hung among the branches and leaves, he leaned on the trunk of the tree and raised his head slightly, at this moment the moon is like a dew, the dew is like a bead, but the time is suddenly twilight.

*

The largest restaurant in Suiling is brightly lit, and the VIPs are holding wine glasses and knocking on the side to talk about business.

"Childe is now in charge of seven points of salt, we hillbillies can't get a touch of it, haha......"

Yan Xugui put down the celadon cup and looked out the window, and the clear stream surrounded the city in the distance, sparkling and flickering in the fading night. Outside the city of Suiling is a wide river, and from this angle, you can see several chimney piers between the mountains, quietly dormant on the high ground.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue regards Gongzi as his own, and the price of salt in Lizhou is rising higher and higher, I don't know how much profit Nan'an can get?" A businessman looked at him and asked tentatively.

The rest of the people blamed him for not having an eye, but they secretly rejoiced that someone had finally made a bird. It was rumored in the city that this Yan Gongzi from the capital wanted to raise the price of salt, which was agreed with the Yue Domain, and the two shared the people's fat and ointment, which caused the people's dissatisfaction to double day by day.

Yan Xugui said with a smile: "Since ancient times, even though merchants have the right to sell salt, they have no reason to set prices. This is thousands of miles away from the imperial court, His Royal Highness the King of Yue let Yan make it convenient, and it is not easy to refuse, fortunately by the mercy of the saint, the inspection of the imperial history in various places did not report the precedent of Yan to the heavens. ”

The local merchants knew that they couldn't ask anything more, but the Yue clan and the Yan clan made a deal for sure, so they confirmed their suspicions.

Another person asked with concern: "How many people did Childe bring back?" Do you want to give a ride along the way? ”

Yan Xugui said clearly: "Everyone's kindness, Yan has a heart. From here to the garden, it is only two pillars of incense, so that it will not be robbed by a knight who robs the rich and helps the poor halfway. ”

After laughing, everyone dispersed.

The shop on the street had just opened, there were no pedestrians on the road, only a few mule carts were parked on the side of the road ready to solicit customers, and the driver sleepily opened his eyes to stop a few merchants.

Yan's carriage was next to the stone steps, and Chang Suiyinjiang first looked around, and then asked Gongzi to get on the carriage with a solemn face.

Yan Xugui smiled: "You also think it's very dangerous for me to come out alone?" I think my reputation has spread to the capital. ”

Yin Jiang rode his horse and galloped, wiped away his sweat and said: "Childe really doesn't care about reputation, the master must know, no matter what, he will not let you sing with a white face." ”

Yan Xugui looked at the swaying car curtain, found a comfortable position, and smiled and said: "In less than three days, I should go off the stage to watch them perform, and I will not be the only one who will work hard at that time." ”

When he arrived at the gate of the garden, the little man guarding the door saw that it was him, and he was busy running to the front and back to deliver tea and water. Yan Xugui refused all, took off Shi Qing's robe and put it in his hand, and walked straight to the moon gate.

His bedroom was the most exquisite in the whole garden, and it was a young lady's embroidery building, hidden in the verdant flowers and trees. Bypassing a few secluded paths, the sky is slightly dewy rose, and it is already the end of the day.

After a long night of entertainment, Yan Xugui rubbed his temples, walked through the cloud wall but suddenly retreated, and threw his robe to Changsui.

The courtyard where the doctors lived was quiet and quiet, and a towering tree was planted outside a carved window on the east side, and a man stood under the tree.

The shadow of the morning glow came up from the pool, and the elm leaves fell leisurely on the water, stirring up several circles of ripples, and the long figure was blurred in the puddle of color.

Didn't you stand all night?

Yan Xugui touched his chin, his phoenix eyes glanced from under the tree to the closed door, and his mood instantly improved - it turned out that he was not the only one who was working hard now.

He took a few steps closer and said to Sheng Yunyi curiously, "What's the matter?" Kicked out? ”

The other party was still standing in place, his eyelashes covering the look in his eyes.

He sneered: "I told you to tell the little lord who is difficult to serve, you are the most good-hearted and evil person in the world, otherwise she would still be a Bodhisattva." ”

Sheng Yunyi pursed his lips and looked at him expressionlessly.

Yan Xugui became depressed: "Speaking of which, if she ruins your marriage contract and turns her face against you, my life will also be in danger, so you don't have to think that I am gloating." ”

He sighed again: "Well, when I came back, I heard that there was a commotion at the city gate, like a caravan rushing into the city, but it was not yet time to open the door, and the city guard did not let me in. ”

Sheng Yunyi then looked away, "It's started." ”

Yan Xugui said: "Since you know that you have to start getting busy, go back and rest for an hour." ”

He smiled, "I was going to rest here." ”

Yan Xugui didn't answer, and raised his sleeve and pointed: "The commander is here, I'll go back to the room first, you can do it yourself." ”

Seeing him Shi Shiran walking away, Sheng Yunyi pressed his eyebrows and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Ji Wei pretended not to hear the previous conversation, and said seriously: "King Wei of Lizhou asked His Majesty to hurry back to the camp outside the city, half an hour ago, someone returned the birthday gift we gave to Yue Fan to the door of Commander Xie's tent, he got up early in the morning and fainted, and now he is unconscious." ”

Sheng Yunyi instructed: "You let him leave this matter alone, the servant of the Padu Division led the people under Xie Yu out of the city to investigate, the caravan is the most well-informed, presumably the ships of the Yue clan are driving up the river." ”

Ji Wei was puzzled: "Your Majesty...... The soldiers commanded by Xie? ”

He said coldly: "It's just an abandoned son." ”

The unlucky military attache who was gouged out and cut off his arm by the river drum guard was Xie Yu's cousin, Xie was originally close to the Yuan Xiang party, and after ten years, he had the courage to send a congratulatory gift to Sheng Fuyu, who was the Yuan family's in-laws, and he really turned a blind eye like the first emperor. Xie Lou has been the commander of Fanjing Nancheng for many years, and he deliberately did not deal with it after the imperial pole, and actually let the soldiers and horses think of inserting people into the river drum guard. In Qingtai Mountain, the Assassins of the Rain Hall solved a recruit selected by Xie Lou's men, but in fact they used a knife to kill people as a threat, but then they turned a deaf ear and had to be wiped out.

As for Xie Yu, who was far away in Qi Ning, he was simply a pawn who was dragged into the water by his brother. The commander lost his people, and Fanjing could justifiably demerit him and let Wang Xuan empty his rights; And the affairs of Qi Ning Dusi should be cut off from the yamen as soon as possible. Sooner or later, these two people will die, but sooner or later.

Ji Wei was a little worried: "The naval army of the Yue Domain has been practiced locally for decades, and there are few of us, so I am afraid that Suiling will not be able to hold it." ”

Sheng Yunyi finally glanced at the silent room, turned around and said slowly, "Go back to the camp." ”

His eyebrows tightened, as if it was extremely difficult to endure such pain, and he closed his eyes and stepped out of the shadow of the flower window.

The shadow was like a snow orchid, which reminded him of the Qingtai view that night, the evening breeze was cold, but it was unusually soft when it blew on his heart.

The flower is in his pupils, and the shadow is at his feet. She used to be so close to him.
