Chapter 42: Our Lady Fish (Catching Worms)
After the morning dispersed one day, Wang Yang returned to the Qinzheng Hall with Cangluan. After a night of careful consideration, Wang Yang came up with a cruel plan, he knew what Cangluan was, and if he told him all his thoughts, Cangluan would definitely accuse him of being despicable and shameless.
A certain character of Cangluan determines whether he can be an emperor or not--he thinks very highly of himself and has empty eyes. Wang Yang went against the sky, hoping to fill the lack of Cangluan's character with his ruthlessness.
Ever since Cangluan called his critically ill mother "mother", Wang Yang has regarded him as his own brother. From then on, he would kill those who Cangluan disdained to kill, and he would use the tricks that Cangluan disdained to use, and he would rather bear all the charges to remove a roadblock on the emperor's way for Cangluan.
What Wang Yang has to do now is to set up a personal guard placed by Cangluan next to Youyu, and invite Youyu to go out of the palace to hunt together. The guards assigned by Cangluan not only monitor Youyu, but are also Yuyu's bodyguards in a sense.
Beishan outside the imperial city is the royal hunting ground, where jackals, tigers and leopards are infested all year round, not to mention that one person goes alone, even if ten strong men with sharp blades are afraid that there is no return.
Wang Yang's idea was: The Imperial Doctor rose up to hunt, but unfortunately was surrounded by fierce beasts and killed Beishan.
This is a seamless poisonous trick, so that the death of Youyu has nothing to do with the imperial court.
Wang Yang bowed his hand and asked: "Your Majesty, the weather is clear now, the minister wants to invite Yu Yushi to go out of the city to have fun and amusement together, with all due respect, Yu Yushi's bodyguard is really annoying, since I invite Yu Yushi to go out, please agree to take a temporary break from the guard." ”
Cangluan looked up at the sky, and it was really suitable for moving his muscles and bones. These days, he has been dealing with political affairs day and night, and he is no longer able to do it, so it's time for himself to relax and relax, and he wants to go together. "How is Mr. going to take Yu Yushi to play?"
"Go hunting in the North Mountains."
Cangluan laughed openly: "Haha, it's right in my heart, I also want to go to the event." When did Mr. only remember Yu Yushi in his heart and forget about it? ”
Cangluan's reaction was completely unexpected by Wang Yang, since entering the palace, Cangluan has been going back and forth between the Qinzheng Hall and the court, and he has never set foot in the third place. Unexpectedly, he was interested in hunting today, which was a big trouble. Wang Yang smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty has every opportunity, and the minister thinks that Your Majesty has no leisure, so it's not that you don't invite Your Majesty, but I'm afraid of disturbing Your Majesty." ”
"In that case, send someone to prepare."
Wang Yang nodded dryly: "Yes." ”
The little eunuch went to Guanglu Palace to ask for a fish, and the fish was dying, and the days had to be passed, it was better to have fun in the bitterness, as long as there was no seal and Danmiao floated anywhere. So there was a simple preparation of fish for a while, and a basket of brocade chickens set off with the team.
The royal soldiers and horses went out of the imperial city, the bright sun shone on the snow in the North Mountain, and the layers of white vapor that steamed out made Shili confused.
Straight into the depths of the North Mountain, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and it is impossible to see clearly from a hundred meters away, which is not suitable for hunting, but such an environment does not affect Cangluan's vigorous interest, and it is also in line with Wang Yang's mind.
Cangluan looked at the chicken basket fixed on the back of the fish and horses, the six golden chickens were chattering uneasily, and the fledgling chicks stood up their cold feathers all over their bodies to look abrupt and funny, as if something ominous was about to happen.
Cangluan looked back at the depths of the white mist and asked, "What does Yu Yushi want to hunt?" ”
They had bows and arrows and spears in their hands, but only the fish had a net in their hands. Youyu has long been accustomed to the cold eyes of others, and said indifferently: "Catch a father for the children." ”
As the name suggests, there are fish to find a father for the little brocade chickens.
Who of the soldiers present is not proud of the hunting tiger and cheetah, hunting chickens? Chi short. The soldiers only laughed and did not say a word.
The surroundings are quiet, and only the sound of the snow melting and converging into a stream can be heard. After a while, there was a faint sway behind the bare bushes, and the soldiers became cautious.
Cangluan laughed: "Haha, whoever is the first to hunt the beast today, I will be rewarded, and we will meet here in two hours." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." When the soldiers heard this, a group of seven or eight people rushed excitedly in all directions.
Wang Yang rode his horse to Youyu's side, "Lord Yu, I'll hunt birds with you, please." ”
There was a sense of astonishment that the wine was a thousand cups less than a confidant, and he turned the horse's head and walked in the direction indicated by Wang Yang. "Do you like to keep birds, or do you want to try something new?"
"Hehe," Wang Yang stroked his long black beard and said with a smile, "Hunting, I heard that there is a phoenix in the North Mountain, I don't know if I can be lucky enough to see its style." ”
The phoenix is just a legendary beast. Some fish pretended to be curious: "yes, then I want to see it too." ”
Youyu and Wang Yang went deeper and deeper, and there was no longer a figure of the army behind him. Wang Yang thought that if there was a fierce beast, he would definitely push Youyu off the horse, but there was no movement around. Wang Yang heard that the real dragon Tianzi had dragon qi on his body, and the beast sniffed it and fled, not daring to approach, not knowing whether it was true or not.
When Wang Yang was hesitating whether to do it himself, a group of black shadows flashed behind the bushes, and those black shadows flashed so fast, they must have been a pack of hungry wolves. Wang Yang saw that the time had come, and quietly stretched out his hand behind Youyu.
"Hey, hey..."The horse under Youyu suddenly jumped up in panic, and the steep back of the horse threw Youyu straight to the ground, helping Wang Yang save a hand.
The fall missed the point, and some fish suffered some skin injuries. The chicken basket also fell, and the chicks spilled all over the ground. Aware of the strange movement around him, the fish quickly picked up the chick and put it back in the basket, and instinctively shouted: "Come on, help, there are beasts!" ”
Not far away, Cangluan hurriedly came when he heard the sound, drew his bow and shot sharp arrows through the ears of the fish, and went straight into the jungle. Some fish clearly heard the tough sound of the arrow grinding against the air, which showed the strength of the cangluan.
As the prey fell and shook in a large arc of the jungle, there was a messy panting, accompanied by a few mournful screams, and it was not a wolf or a tiger, or neither, but a much larger and ferocious beast. The other shadows disappeared with it, presumably frightened and scattered.
Cangluan looked at Wang Yang proudly: "Haha, it seems that the first person to capture the beast is going to belong to me." ”
Wang Yang's face plummeted, both angry and helpless: Your Majesty, you have done something bad!
I could only hear the wheezing sound in the jungle getting weaker and weaker, and Cangluan dismounted and strode away to push away the jungle. However, he never expected that several dark arrows flew out of the jungle, scratching Cangluan's neck. Cangluan was caught off guard and hurriedly retreated five steps, and then more than twenty black-clothed people immediately came out from behind the forest.
Wang Yang's eyes widened when he saw this, and hurriedly called: "Your Majesty is on the horse, it's an assassin!" ”
The big thing is not good, there is a fish scalp numb, subconsciously busy crawling to the horse's back, but under the urgency of life and death, it always backfires, he can't climb the horse's back anyway, as if God wants him to do so.
Cang Luan was brave and fearless, drawing his sword and pointing at the assassin, his momentum domineering. "What should the rabble fear?"
Not to mention that there are only more than 20 people, even if there are 50 of them, he can handle it easily.
The assassin seemed to be frightened by Cangluan's momentum, and moved in fear, but, "Cangluan, you are still ashamed to say that you are dying, you have been injured by our secret weapon, you have been poisoned, and you will be paralyzed in a moment, and you will die of exhaustion, why do we need to do it, we just want to insert two more knives in your corpse!" ”
Listening to what the assassin said, Cangluan suddenly felt dizzy and numb, his hands were unconscious, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", and his body did not listen to the call at all, only his brain was fresh. Cangluan's angry eyes were bloodshot, without showing weakness, and his hideous face before dying was terrifying. "You despicable villains, you have the guts to fight alone, come on!"
A slightly bolder assassin rushed forward and kicked Cangluan in the chest, and Cangluan actually stood still. The Assassin turned to attack Youyu, who was kicked down by the Assassin and trampled under his feet, but when the Assassin saw the fish's yellow hair, he actually retracted his feet.
Wang Yang hurriedly jumped off the horse and protected Cangluan, "Who are you, what is the deep hatred between Your Majesty and you!" ”
"Who are we?" The assassin ripped off his veil, not afraid to show his appearance in front of people, the muscles on his face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Cangluan, the moment you ordered the slaughter of the city, you should have expected today, fortunately, God blessed us from death, so we came to take your dog's life today and avenge our brother!" ”
It turned out to be a man who survived in Huicheng, it was an enmity that did not share the sky, Wang Yang was powerless to persuade, trembling hands and desperately picked up Cangluan's sword, praying that he would be able to save the day, but that was impossible.
Seeing that there was no one to deal with him, Youyu stood up weakly, and the assassin next to him took a few steps back: "Ru Gong is a good person, we won't kill you, you go quickly." ”
Youyu nodded again and again in despair, and after thinking about it, he suddenly shook his head again: "You... You can't kill His Majesty, if he hadn't destroyed the Dynasty, you would still be suffering. ”
Wang Yang was deeply shocked by Youyu's words, and now he has no vigilance and suspicion about them, he is actually interceding for them!
Cangluan closed his eyes heavily, the shame of being tolerated was no less than a steel knife stuck in his heart, Youyu's kindness was a sarcasm and whipping of his conscience, making him an unbeatable hero into an out-and-out villain. Just yesterday, he also ordered the palace maid to falsely spread Feng Danmiao's words, and left them alive.
Assassin: "You are stupid, you are stupid, Cangluan has no brothers and heirs, kill him and you will be the emperor justifiably, you will be a good emperor with a kind heart!" ”
However, the system table does not prompt the task of "killing the king" according to the situation, which means that now is not the time, or it means that the object of "killing the king" is not Cangluan. Even if the system prompts you, Youyu thinks that Cangluan has no grievances and no hatred, and will not kill him at all.
Youyu was afraid and anxious, folded his hands and begged: "I don't know how to be an emperor, and I won't be an emperor, please let your majesty go, your majesty will definitely repay your wives and mothers in Huicheng, please believe me and believe in your majesty, don't kill anymore, as soon as your majesty dies, the princes will take advantage of the chaos to fight for the world, I don't know if it will take a few years of war, will the women and children in Huicheng be safe at that time?" Will women and children elsewhere be safe? I beg you to let us go, to fulfill Your Majesty, to fulfill Dayan, and to accumulate virtue for your dead relatives, I... I will kneel and kowtow to you. ”
The trembling limbs of the fish fluttered and knelt on the ground, and there were a few heavy knocks.
The Assassin was shocked by Yuyu's every move, and even his eyes were scarlet, and he felt empathy. That is on top of pure and kind human nature, but also a broad mind. Yes, if they kill Cangluan, the new strife will bring more deaths, they are victims, but they do not want to be the sinners of history. Youyu's words are to the point, and they reflect that they have not taken the overall situation into account.
The leader of the assassins rested his knife on the immobile Cangluan: "We don't kill you today because we are afraid of you, but because we respect your father, and we disdain to be a murderer like you." ”
The assassin slashed through Cangluan's handsome face mercilessly with a swing of his knife, and warned: "This knife is to teach you to remember today forever, and it is we despicable villains who spared your dog's life." ”
With that, the Assassin quickly fled, leaving behind a bottle of antidote.
