Di Renjie was sitting in front of the bookcase, reminiscing about the past, when he suddenly heard a slight noise on the eaves. At first glance, it sounds like some kind of small beast passing on the roof, but in fact, judging by the frequency of landing, it must be a person who stops and goes.

He grabbed the saber on the side of the desk, blew out the candle neatly, and tiptoed to the door, waiting for the uninvited guest to arrive. After a while, there was a softer sound outside the door than the flapping of wings. Look again, there is a faint shadow passing through the window paper and stopping outside the door.

The entire world was silent, only his heartbeat filled his ears. The opportunity to strike first was only for a split second, just when the door opened. He clenched the hilt of his sword and pointed at the ground, ready to swing it from the bottom to the top as soon as the door opened.

The door creaked open, and one foot stepped into the doorframe. Di Renjie lifted his sword and silently put it on the neck of the comer, "What person! Dare to go forward an inch and be careful of the different places! ”

The uninvited guest in the night suit obediently raised his hand in surrender, waited for his permission to take off the mask covering his mouth, and grinned at him. Di Renjie looked at her and felt familiar and a little unsure, the eyebrows and eyes were all longing for him, but he was taller than he imagined, and her expression, no matter whether he was sad or happy, was so faint that he couldn't find any traces of the past.

“…… Ah Ying? He slowly lowered his sword and asked tentatively. Tang Ying choked a shallow layer of tears in his eyes and nodded lightly.

Di Renjie was sad for a while, threw down his sword and hugged her in his arms, "You...... You ......" He wanted to ask her how she became like this, but he vaguely guessed that she must have suffered a lot, and asking again would be tantamount to revealing the scar? It's better to just hold her like this and convey his concern through action.

Tang Ying buried his head in his shoulder, as if returning to the day he rescued himself from Fuji and people, feeling safe and warm in his heart. This warm touch seems to bring her back to the beautiful past, when he was a fledgling aspiring young man, brave and smart, and a little afraid of blood, and she was innocent, and she also had Li Chunfeng's most gentle embrace.

Now that he has smoothed the edges and corners of officialdom, she has been taken away by parting with joy and sorrow, the only thing in common is that they have all matured.

"Shadow, it's good to see you." Di Renjie sighed sincerely, although he thought that Tang Ying should look happier. He looked outside, turned his head and asked, "Just yourself?" Why are you in such a hurry to find me so late? ”

Tang Ying thought that he was asking Li Chunfeng, so he closed the door tightly first, and then said softly: "You still don't know the way?" Chunfeng has been gone for two years. ”

Di Renjie took her hand and sat down, "I already knew this, I also went to Chang'an that year, but you just left." ”

"Huh? If you know the Tao, why do you think there is anyone else? Tang Ying looked at him with a wry smile, he somehow had a trace of expectation in his heart, and the rumor was wrong, "It's the one called Ming ......"

Tang Ying's expression suddenly changed, and he covered his mouth with his hand, "Shh, don't mention this name." Renjie, you are misunderstood! ”

Di Renjie blinked and took her hand away, "But I heard that you each served as the queen's right-hand man, and you were inseparable for a while, and I also heard that he accompanied you to mourn Chunfeng, this is ......"

Tang Ying shook his head bitterly, and told Di Renjie how Ming Chongyan disguised himself to deceive Li Zhi's trust by seeing a doctor, how he caused a misunderstanding between her and Li Chunfeng just to get Bai Zetu, and how he flattered Wu Mei after Li Chunfeng's death.

only listened to Di Renjie angrily, and on a few occasions he couldn't help but pull the sword out of the sheath. But when he calmed down, he also knew that he was not Ming Chongyan's opponent at all, and he was just exposing himself to himself desperately.

After Tang Ying finished speaking, Di Renjie clenched his fists and slammed them on the table, "I didn't expect that there are such vicious people in the world, it's really hard for you to follow Chunfeng......" But as soon as he thought about it, he quickly found something that didn't make sense, "Ah Ying, didn't he take the trouble to get to the emperor and empress, isn't it to steal the country?" According to you, he can easily control others, why am I afraid that I have never heard of the slightest change in the government? ”

Tang Ying said: "You're right, he went to such great lengths, is it just to assist Wu Mei, I don't believe it." It's just that because of the previous coincidence between me and Wu Mei, she has the white fire I input when I delivered her baby in her body, and I think maybe this is why he has not controlled Wu Mei all the time. What's more, now that the court is full of Mei Niang's henchmen, it must be helpful for him to have more contact with these people. So, I don't think he'll be exposed too soon. ”

Di Renjie pointed out, "He can easily manipulate the head wind disease under His Majesty, isn't it easier to control him?" ”

Tang Ying bit his lip and said word by word: "Because the person who is now in charge of the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty is no longer His Majesty, even if he controls the emperor, he will be sad to pass Wu Mei's level." At that time, not only will you not be able to get Wu Mei's help, but you will have to be an enemy of Wu Mei. ”

Di Renjie subconsciously looked left and right, "Ah Ying, this is a big disrespectful word......

"You will see later that everything I say will come true," she said fearlessly. However, I don't know what role this man will play in this history. ”

I don't know why, her words have a strange persuasiveness, and Di Renjie couldn't help but be a little shaken.

Suddenly, he patted his head and said, "That's right! In this way, the incident of the Mochizuki bookworm eating people is related to the Ming ...... Uh, this guy has a deep relationship?! ”

Tang Ying nodded, "He is not only scheming, but also very mysterious, at present, I only know that he can summon demon gods, he can easily create puppets, and even Yuan Tiangang's crows seem to be used by him." Oh, by the way, I've seen him easily summon the White Tiger and Suzaku of the Four Gods! ”

Di Renjie couldn't believe it, "Really? I heard Chunfeng say that he usually barely summons two four gods. The only time he was all summoned, he almost died. ”

Tang Ying nodded, "That's right." It was in Qianling, and I saw it with my own eyes. Renjie, it can be seen from this that this person is really not simple. As far as I know, he was also a disciple of Bai Ze Shangshen, but he was expelled from the school for violating the taboo, and since then he has embarked on an evil path...... Alas, it's a pity that I haven't found a way to fight him yet. ”

Di Renjie frowned and said, "Ah Ying, I suspect that he is indeed brewing some conspiracy. Because I have recently received many reports, between Chang'an and Luoyang, there have been several incidents similar to bookworms eating people back then. I suspect that it is this Ming Chongyan who is playing tricks. ”

Tang Ying exclaimed, "He has started to absorb the undead again?" What is it necessary to recruit so many undead? ”

Di Renjie said: "It is possible to create more puppets for his use. Could it be ......," he scratched his chin irritably, "is he trying to form an army of puppets?" ”

Tang Ying was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Will that be the case? Ming Chongyan in the palace is so low-key and silent, could it be that everything is an appearance, he obeyed Wu Mei and the emperor just to cover up his huge ambitions, and only wait for the time to overthrow the government in one fell swoop?!
