Chapter 127: The Kindness of a Woman
The prince Li Yanyun stepped out of the palace gate first, and when he stepped down, his heart was a little relieved. Although he is a sibling brother of the same comrade and Ze, he is becoming more and more unable to see through this imperial brother at this time.
Li Yanyun did not leave quickly, but stood outside the hall, looking up at the sky. When I came, I was in a bit of a hurry, and I forgot to enjoy such a beautiful view. At this time, the red glow in the distance was burning like a fire, and the clouds that were entangled and passing away were gradually eaten away until the eyes were fiery red.
Li Yanyun's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, wanting to try to see everything in the distance. He never stayed here for long, never and not now. Only now, he wants to bridge the chasm that he has never crossed and give it a try.
Just like when he was studying literature in Chongwen Pavilion, he was beaten by the Taifu with a ring ruler, and after he endured it for a long time, he finally grabbed the handle of the Taifu and sued the old man to his father. Although the father did not punish the crime, it also made Taifu Xue a lot more obedient. The ring ruler in his hand never fell on him again.
When he stood on the lecturer's podium of Chongwen Hall, he had the heroism of holding the world in one hand, just like now. But this longing did not last long, and a slight sound of footsteps sounded, reminding him of his dignity and order.
Nalan, who followed closely, came behind at this time, taking the first step, and didn't seem to have the slightest intention of talking.
Wang Ye Li Yanyun's heart churned for a while, but because of Mingyue Tower's status in the country lord and even the entire Later Tang Dynasty, he endured it. But at this moment, he made up his mind that one day, he would let this "little white face" with fine skin and tender flesh kneel at his feet and bow his head.
Thinking of this, he sighed for a while, and looked at the "Heavenly Fire" in the distance again, until it disappeared at the end of the sky.
When the prince Li Yanyun was about to leave, the chief eunuch Wang Itch, who was like an old dog, lowered his head, and appeared at his side at some point, without saying a word, without saying a word. When Li Yanyun turned around and saw him, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Although he was full of disgust, he was still polite and thoughtful, and he hugged his fists and asked, "Manager Wang, but what do you command?"
This person has been by the side of the lord of the country for many years, starting from a eunuch and stepping up to today. also from a young boy to a dying old man, and the same state of mind. Over the years, it has been so uneventful.
Li Yanyun didn't think about whether she could win him over. But if this step is taken, if the grass is startled, it will be a catastrophe. So he has always maintained restraint and did not dare to show anything.
The man who entered the old dog guarding the door outside the hall smiled at this time, "Lord, the hour is not early, please move back to the house, so as not to worry about the lord of the country." ”
Glah, Li Yanyun's heart thumped. If it weren't for the fact that what he had just done would have been known to the imperial brother
Although he was shocked in his heart, his mouth was still light and light, and he said casually, "Please ask Mr. Wang to pass it on, and Weichen will leave." After speaking, without waiting for Wang Itch to answer, he strode away with his sleeves brushed up.
The chief eunuch Wang itched, and after seeing the powerful vassal king disappear at the end of the Jiuqu corridor of the inner palace, he turned around and carefully closed the door of the inner hall. The movement was gentle, like stroking a woman's slender jade hand, for fear of accidentally damaging this stunner in the world.
When the door of the hall was closed, Chief Manager Wang nodded and retreated, and only when he walked to the position where Li Yanyun was standing just now did he turn around and raise his head. Learn from the posture of the powerful vassal king, raise your eyes, and look into the distance.
If you are seen by others at this time, I am afraid that you can't help but admire, this old eunuch has learned so vividly. It's just that this gesture is fleeting. After the fiery red on the horizon completely dissipated, Manager Wang returned to his usual appearance, and walked towards the nine-song corridor.
At this time, in the depths of the inner hall, the disheveled lord of the country, Li Cunqiao, had been dressed up and meticulous. It's as if the man was just a stand-in and he never appeared.
The lights in the depths of the inner sanctum are a little dim, and the dimness makes people feel a little painful to see. And he, Li Cunxuan, didn't think so, and even took it for granted. just stared intently at the two-foot-square table in front of him, without saying a word.
And in the depths of this inner hall, it seems that he is the only one sitting here, there are no attendants, no palace maids, and not even the armor soldiers who patrol the night. After looking at the table for a long time, a little moonlight sneaked in from the edge of the window, and then I saw the sand table on the table.
This sand table clearly shows the vast territory of the Later Tang Dynasty, and even the land beyond the Later Tang Dynasty. It's just that what Li Cunmiao was staring at was Longshou County, where there was a rebellion two days ago, and he was a little distracted, so he forgot to pull up the dagger that was inserted in it with a cold light.
I don't know what clue I saw, Li Cunqiao asked softly to one place, "What have you found?"
The depths of the inner sanctum are empty and silent, with eight pillars arranged in an orderly manner, and the curtains dancing in the wind, but there is no one to hide. But when he asked, a female voice answered. It's just that the voice sounds a little indifferent, not like the people just now, but a little like Nalan.
Li Cunxuan was not annoyed, he was waiting for this person's answer, just like waiting for Li Yanyun to leave just now. After turning and entering the depths of the inner sanctum, he observed the three men in a dark room.
It's just that none of the three people are aware. If you invite it, you will come and go if you linger, and what you want to ask is not the bits and pieces in the words, but the attitude of these three people to this matter. Nalan wanted to stay out of it, but he had to fall into it.
And that Li Yanyun has obviously smelled a trace of taste, although it is extremely thin, but it is so real. Besides, just now, he stopped here, which was a big taboo. How can you tolerate him?
There is also the old dog, when he thought of the eunuch chief Wang Itchy, the muscles on Li Cunqiao's face twitched unconsciously. has been loyal for more than 30 years, but you can't be mourned for a thousand years. Although he was slightly sympathetic in his heart, he still spat for no reason, "Dog minion." ”
The woman finally spoke, simply and directly, without half a word of nonsense, without saying a word more, "None of the three of them can be left behind." "Six-character proverbs, word for heart. As soon as the word is spoken, life and death will be decided.
Hearing this, Li Cunmiao raised his head, looked at the people in the dark with interest, and asked casually, "Nalan, are you willing?"
As soon as the word "Nalan" came out, the woman obviously paused, but then returned to normal. How could this subtle action escape Li Cunmiao's eyes. Like a spotted cat in the dark, he leaned over and pressed his palms, waiting for a single blow to kill. He can't afford to miss a minute, let alone his own confidant.
"Liu Qingmei" Li Cunqiao suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly.
The woman in the darkness knelt on the ground, and in the depths of this empty inner sanctum, the sound of her knees pounding on the ground was clearly audible, but she did not hear a single sound of pain from the woman's mouth.
Li Cunmiao suddenly pulled out the dagger inserted on the sand table, held it in his hand and played, "Do you know that your recklessness almost ruined my big thing."
At this time, he was already a cold willow and frowned, silent like a cicada, "Weichen is guilty"
"Confessed, you report the news, but I don't know if I still say, I don't know if I don't punish you, you know, in this capital, who has the final say. It's me Li Cunqing, not him Nalan" Li Cunqiao almost said what he just said in a roaring manner.
Just a word is exhausted, and it is out of breath.
Liu Qingmei leaned over the ground at this time, and he didn't dare to breathe. If she hadn't secretly reported the news at this time, the young man would have been intercepted and killed on the way to Longshou County. In this way, if Nalan's overall plan is messed up, he will be able to fish in troubled waters.
However, there is still a kind of affection in the world, called lovesickness. And she fell in love with it at that glance, and she couldn't get out again.
Li Cunmiao put away his hysteria, and returned to his lofty position, but his tone was a little indifferent, "Liu Qingmei, you are upset." ”
At this time, the woman who was already clinging to the cold marble floor held the saber tightly, but she couldn't help trembling, but she didn't dare to say anything. And Li Cunxuan, who was playing with the dagger, suddenly pierced the cold light back.
Only this time, it was not Longshou County, but Qingxia Town.
When he spoke again, the woman breathed a sigh of relief. Because Li Cunmiao's tone suddenly became a little light, as if the anger just now would never be ignited again. It's just that she doesn't know that although the open fire is extinguished, the dark seedlings are still there.
"Get up, it's been a hard journey." Li Cunmiao clapped his hands and motioned for the woman to get up.
Liu Qingmei dared to slack off, and got up in a hurry, and without even tidying up his clothes, he stood on the spot, waiting for the man's next words.
Li Cunmiao suddenly smiled, his smile was so sincere, like a gentle monarch, and there was no trace of killing in his eyes. But what he said next made the woman shudder. Because such a simple sentence is a bloody storm.
"You go to that Qingxia Town and slaughter the city." Li Cunmiao looked at the place where the dagger was pierced, and said slowly.
Liu Qingmei didn't dare to slack off, and hugged his fists to lead his life. At this time, her heart was already turbulent, and she didn't know how to express her emotions at this time. Although he holds the power of the Heavenly Prison Division and shows no mercy to those scum and corrupt officials, it is absolutely impossible to let her do this unrighteous act.
However, the person in front of her was Li Cunxuan, the lord of the Later Tang Dynasty, and she had no reason or courage to refuse.
Li Cunmiao burst out laughing, "Are you thinking, why did I send you to do this, why is it you?" The words mixed in the laughter were clearly full of playfulness. But you can't draw your sword and behead this person.
If there is another trace of killing intent, it will be cut into meat sauce by the guards hidden in the inner sanctum.
Liu Qingmei did not answer, but lowered his head and remained silent. At this time, the moonlight outside the window was already shining on the whole land. The moonlight is cold, not as hot as the sun, so moving, but it is also a graceful beauty, like a person's delicate mind, and the water flows for a long time.
Liu Qingmei wanted to raise her eyes to look, but she didn't dare. Li Cunmiao paused for a moment before continuing, "Because you're not ruthless enough." Those who achieve great things are not informal. And you, but there is a line everywhere, how can I rest assured?"
Liu Qingmei trembled at this time, her hands clenched into fists and trembled, and she was also a little out of shape.
Li Cunmiao suddenly pointed to the dagger on the sand table, and said word by word, "Within two months, give me a satisfactory answer." If not, come and see. ”
After speaking, he raised his sleeves and lay down in his clothes, no longer paying attention to Liu Qingmei, who was hidden in the darkness in the inner hall.
