This night, the sound of the flute that has been accompanying me to sleep no longer sounds, I didn't hear the strange and wonderful sound of the flute, my chest is a little stuffy, is it that my body is better, that person will no longer blow the flute?

Depressed, I walked out of the room and walked to the deck, but I saw a person standing on the deck like me under the moonlight, with a light green shirt and a long body.

Curious, I looked a few more times, as if sensing someone watching, and the man turned around.

The smoke and water were hazy, and the man's face was as clear as the moon, and his dark eyes only glanced at me faintly, and then he walked away. At this time, Zhao Tong and Du Cheng came and persuaded me to go back to the house, but I only asked in a daze, "Who is that person?" ”

Zhao Channel: "It's just a swordsman who spends money to hire a swordsman, don't care." ”

I lay on my bed, meditating.

There are a total of six people on this boat plus me, the one named He Quan, listening to his strange voice, it is not difficult to guess that it is Yuwen Yong's inner servant, Yu Wenyong's evil feelings towards me are not hidden in front of him, it should be Yu Wenyong's cronies, and the sound of the flute cannot be blown by him.

As for the two guards, Zhao Tong and Du Chengcheng were monitoring me at the door all day long, how could they be in the mood to make a flute, if they blew it, it was impossible for me not to know.

Yu Wenyong can do a, but he hates me so much, he can't be so kind to blow the flute to help me sleep.

Then there is only one person, the young man in green shirt who always protects his safety not far from Yuwen Yong, with a pale face and a sword that does not leave his body.

According to Zhao Tong and Du Quan, that person was a swordsman hired by Yuwen Yong with a lot of money, responsible for protecting Yuwen Yong's safety all the way, and left after completing the task, he had nothing to do with the imperial court, and was purely a person in the rivers and lakes.

Could it be him?

——

Yu Wenyong and his entourage dressed up as an ordinary caravan and sailed all the way, the ship traveled to the land, and then the carriage and horses went north. After days of tiring travel, bumps and fatigue, every day I simply satisfy my hunger with a little dry food and water. It wasn't until they arrived in Luozhou, the territory of the Zhou Kingdom, that Yu Wenyong and his entourage stopped the carriage and horses and stopped to eat at a simple inn on the side of the road.

was eating silently, but he heard a long sigh, and when he turned his head, it was two people at the next table sighing.

I only heard one of them say: "Now that I am the powerful minister of the Great Zhou, the Duke of Jin controls the government, bullies the king, frames the loyal and good, cuts off dissidents, harms the dictatorship of the country, and behaves badly, his heart can be clearly revealed, but it is a pity that ......" The voice gradually lowered.

A person next to him answered angrily, "It's a pity that today's monarch is cowardly, bent on having fun, and has no intention of asking about politics, allowing that Yuwen Hu to sit alone, dictatorial and dictatorial, but he didn't give up the Great Zhou Jiangshan to Yuwen Hu!" ”

"Today, His Majesty is addicted to chess, obsessed with music and archery, and all the affairs of the court and government are handed over to Yuwen Hu to deal with, and often excuse himself by saying that he is sick and does not go to the court, ignores state affairs, and does not see people all day long, either studying chess, or running to hunt and drink, or secretly running out of the palace to have fun, all kinds of behaviors, which is really disappointing. In this way, Da Zhou is in danger! ”

It turns out that Yuwen Yong often doesn't go to court, no wonder he can run out for so long without fear of being discovered by Yuwen Hu, this is probably another kind of disguise for him.

Zhao Tong, Du Quan, and He Quan listened on the side, their faces became more and more ugly, and the young swordsman still had a pale face, just when He Quan couldn't hold back and was about to have a seizure, Yu Wenyong pressed his hand, and said in a faint indifferent tone like no one else: "If you have nothing to do with people, you don't have to take it to heart, you don't have to reduce your identity." ”

Because of Yuwen Yong's hostility to me, He Quan naturally won't give me a good look, others don't know my relationship with Yu Wenyong, but I am sure he must know, otherwise he won't make things difficult for me again and again along the way. Seeing He Quan holding his breath and not having a seizure, my mood improved, a smile appeared on my face, and I ate my meal with relish.

Seeing this, He Quan couldn't help but glare at me, I was completely unaffected, smiled even more happily, and asked, "Manager He, why don't you eat it, this meal is much better than those steamed buns." "Along the way, he didn't give me a lot of food and water.

He Quan rolled his eyes and said: "I'm not like someone, I only eat white food, and I don't do anything just by eating." ”

I picked up the food more cheerfully, "It's better than what some people have to eat but can't eat." ”

"You ......"

He Quan still wanted to quarrel with me, but he heard Yu Wenyong instruct: "He Quan, prepare the car." ”

He Quan glanced at me indignantly before going to prepare the carriage, I was enjoying myself, and I was swept away by Yuwen Yong's eyes as bright as snow, and my smile suddenly froze, and then I smiled back with a smug smile, without fear.

Waiting for the carriage, I squeezed in a carriage with Yuwen Yong, thinking that Yu Wenyong was severely damaged by those two people, my mood became more and more cheerful, and the grievances that had been depressed for several days were eliminated, as if I had taken a bad breath.

He Quan lifted the curtain of the car and asked tentatively: "Those two people in the market dare to discuss the government and slander His Majesty...... No, slander Childe, look, do you want to ......" He Quan made a motion to wipe his neck.

"No, you don't." Yu Wen Yong's cold voice sounded, "Let them live, live well, and live the day when I see Yu Wenhu with my hand, strengthen the Zhou Kingdom, and overlook the mountains and rivers." Let them see if I am a faint monarch or a bright monarch. ”

"Yes."

In the carriage, I looked at Yu Wenyong's faint expressionless face, and said with a smile: "Why don't the fourth prince speak, is there anything unhappy, say it to make me happy." "Pretend, I'll see how long you can pretend.

Yu Wenyong's eyebrows moved, and he still said in a faint tone, "Don't talk about it." ”

I pretended to sigh lightly, "There is a kind of person who is used to pretending, obviously unhappy, and acting as if nothing happened." Everyone pretends for a reason, some people pretend to deceive others, but there is another kind of people who are even more pitiful, they pretend to be to deceive themselves, pretend not to care, pretend to be indifferent, pretend to be strong, it's really pitiful! "Anyway, I maliciously looked at him with great sympathy.

There was a sudden pain in my arm, but it was Yu Wenyong who grabbed my wrist and overwhelmed me, and his indifferent expression finally had a crack, "You are provoking me." ”

It was rare to see him lose color, and I felt a sense of revenge in my heart, "I'm not provoking you, I'm just telling the truth." ”

Yu Wenyong's knuckles were white, I couldn't help it, and my other hand clenched into a fist and wanted to fight back, but he was easily detained.

I almost forgot, this person has excellent martial arts, hidden deeply, I have seen it in Cuihua Mountain a few years ago, how can I beat him with this bit of fist and foot kung fu?

Yu Wenyong clasped my hands tightly and pressed me tightly, and his bright eyes threatened me, "If you don't want your hand to be twisted, just tell me the whereabouts of the world's ambitions!" ”

I told me that it hurts and wants to change the subject? I sneered and retorted, "If you don't want to get anything in the end, don't think that you can force me to submit by force!" ”

Yu Wenyong's hand slammed into force, flipped back, and I fell on my back in the dark carriage, "Are you very stubborn?" Then I'd like to see how stubborn you are! ”

"Absolutely unimaginable!" Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I turned my head to glare at him.

It hurt more and more, like a tight arrow string, ready to break at any moment, and I seemed to hear the sound of "gurgling" bones breaking. I gritted my teeth and endured the severe pain, pursed my lips, raised my chin, and looked at him with bright eyes, stubborn and stubborn, like the dawn through the clouds and the moon, straight to shine into people's hearts.

Looking at me closely, Yuwen Yong's eyes as clear as the frost and the moon kept staring at me. For a long time, when each other's eyes were about to condense into ice, Yu Wenyong's eyes moved slightly, as if he couldn't bear this compelling gaze, he took the lead in shaking off my hand, pushed me aside, turned around spontaneously, and didn't look at me again.

I rubbed my aching hands, not bothering to observe what Yu Wenyong's expression was, just looking at my battered hands distressedly, and snorting softly.

As soon as the curtain of the car flipped, He Quan's voice suddenly broke in, "Your Majesty, General Yu Yi has sent an army to meet Your Majesty at the post station in front." ”

Indeed, someone came to the post station to respond, and the army of Qi brushed up to greet each other, with twenty people in a column, forty rows, all of the same color of black clothes, Yan brocade belt, straight and straight, showing a kind of fierce and brave momentum.

The man in the lead turned over and got off the brown horse and knelt down to Yuwen Yong, "When the Duke of Jin heard that His Majesty had traveled far away from the palace, he was very worried about His Majesty's safety, so he ordered his ministers to come and escort His Majesty back to the palace. "Presumably, he is the general in He Quan's mouth.

Yu Wenyong smiled indifferently, "Zuo is just a trip out of the palace, and it's not the first time, why bother to mobilize the crowd to drive so many people?" The Jin State Public Commission was really worried. ”

It stands to reason that Yuwen Yong should have traveled secretly this time, and he actually let Yu Wenwu know, it seems that Yuwen Hu's news is really well-informed, and I don't know how many eyeliners have been planted around Yuwen Yong.

When his eyes touched me standing beside Yu Wenyong, Yu Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, this girl is so good-looking, she is ......"

"It's my confidante." Yu Wenyong's hand gently put on my shoulder and smiled affectionately, "Also, there are many inconveniences for me to be outside, you just need to call me 'Fourth Son', and you can't reveal your identity." ”

"Your Ministers obey."

At that time, it was already twilight, and the sky was faint, and Yu Wenyong and his party stopped their footsteps and stayed in an inn.

When traveling, inns are inevitably shabby. On the one hand, there is an old and mottled elm table, a blue-glazed teapot on top, a narrow wooden bed against a red-lattice window, the bedding is neatly folded, and the room is clean, the whole room looks old and simple but neat.

"It's really embarrassing for the fourth son, in order to cover up the facts, he has to act in front of everyone, and he has to be wronged to stay in the same room with Qingqiang." I glanced at Yu Wenyong coldly.

"I think it's fun because I know people are more uncomfortable than me." At this moment, there are only two of us in the room, Yu Wenyong doesn't need to pretend anymore, his smiling eyes slowly fell on my face, and when the smile reached the bottom of his eyes, a cold light suddenly appeared, and he poked at me like a skate, "I will keep an eye on you, no matter how cunning you are, how many tricks you have, I will not let you escape from my hands, you can't escape." ”

I was depressed, sat down at the table, and ignored him.
