Chapter 22: Is Foolishness So?

The Second Prince's Mansion.

The breeze outside the courtyard is bright and the moon is handsome, and you can hear a burst of insects from time to time. In the hall, the yellowish candlelight reflects the enclosed space with a slight sense of weirdness.

Dugu Lianyu sat on the main seat, and below him sat two men dressed as scholars, they were Dugu Lianyu's staff, Dugu Lianyu's face could not be seen clearly in the dim candlelight, but the two people present could vaguely perceive the anger emanating from Dugu Lianyu's body.

"If you have any plans, you might as well talk about them. The somber voice was like a heavy block of wood struggling to float up in deep water.

The two of them silently touched a cold sweat, they have followed Dugu Lianyu for many years, whenever Dugu Lianyu is angry, it is the time when his temperament is the worst, if he says the wrong word at this time, it is a tiger's mouth to extract teeth, then their fate can be imagined.

"Your Highness, before Dugu Liancheng returned to Chang'an, his subordinates had already bought off the killer of the rivers and lakes......" The man on the right lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Hmph...... Ridiculous. Before the man finished speaking, Dugu Lianyu suddenly became furious, slapped his palm on the table, and the fine Zen fragrant wooden table instantly became scattered.

"Subordinate...... Your Highness spares your life. The man's calves and abdomen were weak and he knelt on the ground in an instant, his whole body was shaking, obviously afraid of Dugu Lianyu, he didn't know what he did wrong, and he didn't know why Dugu Lianyu suddenly became angry.

"Spare your life? Do you know that Dugu Liancheng has just returned to Chang'an, if something happens, whose head will his father be counted on? Dugu Lianyu spoke, and then he instantly came to the man's side, and hit the man's skull with a palm, only to see a flash of horror in the man's eyes, and before he could beg for mercy, he bled and fell to the ground and died.

Dugu didn't even look at the man on the ground who was dead and miserable, but frowned, only to see a man in black walking out from a dark place, holding a white square scarf respectfully in his hand.

Dugu Lianyu wiped his hands with a square scarf, his gloomy eyes seemed to be stained with thick ink, his father, he still understood, not so much that his father was afraid of the military power in the hands of Dugu Liancheng, but that he was more afraid of Dugu Liancheng's high merit, but it could be seen that the old emperor was still optimistic about Dugu Liancheng, and now as soon as Dugu Liancheng came back, he would act rashly, and he would inevitably not please the old emperor.

"What about you? Dugu Lianyu said and threw the bloody scarf in front of another man, who trembled, and a flash of horror flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, my subordinates think that they can't act rashly now, but they can hold their troops for the time being. ”

"Hmm, but you know what you're talking about. Dugu Lian Yuweiyin suddenly mentioned it, only to see a flash of sword light, and the sword of the dark guard hidden in the dark cut the man's throat, and blood immediately gushed out.

"It's all rice buckets. Dugu Lianyu took a deep breath and gathered his mind.

"Master, do you need your subordinates to go and make amends?" said the secret guard with his head bowed, and he couldn't help but curse the fool who made up his own mind.

Dugu Lianyu squinted, supported his chin with one hand, and knocked on the chair with one hand.

"No, this time you should try your father's attitude. ”

"Yes. The Dark Guard answered, and then retreated into the shadows.

Contrary to the Second Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince's Mansion is brightly lit, illuminating the winding corridor clearly.

Dugu Liancheng lazily reclined on the soft collapse, holding ancient books in his hands, his eyes never left the writing, he looked extremely seriously, as if he saw something incomprehensible, and his good-looking brows wrinkled.

Qiying, who had something to report, stood outside the door, only to see the thin smoke in the elegant and refreshing room, and his master was looking at the ancient books and old classics seriously.

"Master. Seven Shadows, dressed in black, walked in with a folded book in his hand. After some hesitation, he walked in.

Hearing the sound and raising his eyes, Dugu Liancheng twisted his somewhat sore eyebrows, and squinted his tired eyes that seemed to be reading a book.

"Huh?"

"As the master expected, almost half of the ministers in the court are now on the master's side, and there are a few ministers headed by Prime Minister Ruan Cheng in a neutral state. "Seven Shadows is a person with a cold temperament, but when he talks about this, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked.

Unexpectedly, Dugu Liancheng put the book aside, sat up by himself, and glanced at the torso of the old banyan tree outside that could not be illuminated by candlelight, and then hooked his lips and smiled.

"Seven Shadows, cockroaches have run into this yard, what should you do?"

Seven Shadows was stunned for a moment and recovered, just now the master seemed to glance at the banyan tree outside the house, and then Seven Shadows drew his sword and flew under the corner of the banyan tree outside the house without thinking about it.

When the man under the banyan tree touched Dugu Liancheng's eyes that seemed to be intentional or unintentional, he couldn't help but be shocked, he had already hidden all his breath, but he was still discovered by Dugu Liancheng, it is conceivable how high this person's martial arts should be, the man dare not imagine.

The man is also a person with excellent martial arts, and when he was discovered by Dugu Liancheng, the Seven Shadows had already prepared before he flew over, and a fierce battle was about to break out.

"A cup of tea. Dugu Liancheng said in a light tone, and poured a pot of tea after the words fell.

"Yes. The Seven Shadows in the fight responded.

The black-clothed masked man smelled the words of the two, and he was disdainful in his heart, and he solved him with a cup of tea, and he looked down on him too much.

The fight outside the house was fierce, but Dugu Liancheng calmly held the book and read, taking a sip of tea from time to time, until the tea cup bottomed out, but the winner was not divided outside the house, Qiying heard the sound of the falling lamp, and knew that the time had come, but the guy on the other side was really not easy to solve.

Taking advantage of the distraction of the Seven Shadows, the Moon Brake aimed at the opportunity and was ready to deal a fatal blow to the Seven Shadows.

In an instant, Dugu Liancheng flew out, and met the palm of the moon brake when he was distracted.

In an instant, Yuesha only felt that when he slapped Dugu Liancheng, there was a powerful internal force that hit his lungs.

"Poof......" blood spurted out, Yuesha knew that he was invincible to Dugu Liancheng and couldn't help but curse secretly, with a light tap of his toes, he flew away without a trace.

"Master, do you want to chase it?" Qiying asked, it was just dangerous, if it wasn't for the master's timely action, I'm afraid that it would be himself who was injured now.

Dugu Liancheng was a little wrinkled with the edge of his robe, and the light in his eyes was a little unclear, could it be the Dugu Lianyu faction? This time, he was a little more durable than before, but he had just returned to Chang'an, so he couldn't wait to kill him quickly? Could it really be that Dugu Lianyu was stupid and blunt?

"Seven Shadows, this prince was assassinated today, unfortunately injured, and immediately ordered the assassin to be hunted down. ”

"Yes. The Seven Shadows responded, and then quickened their steps and walked out of the courtyard. After many years of master and servant, with just one word, Qiying understood the meaning of Dugu Liancheng.

Dugu Liancheng looked at the scorching blood red on the ground, and there was a faint light in his cold black eyes, since Dugu Lianyu sent him to kill him, then he would help him and make things bigger, so as to make it easier to watch the play at the beginning, so as to live up to his "hard work".

Although it was night, within a moment, the news of Dugu Liancheng's assassination and injury spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an.
