Chapter Twenty-One: A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance
Although the Oiran Contest on Xuanwu Lake is at its peak, most of the people who are interested are the children of the eunuchs, the wealthy businessmen, but the lantern festival that night is suitable for all ages. Jianye City is full of lights, all kinds of beautiful lanterns compete for beauty, the lights reflect each other at night, and the streets are bustling and busy. The rich and noble people are even more painstaking to boast of the luxury, the competition for luxury and the rich, the gold and silver, the glaze, the pearl and jade are decorated into the precious and glorious lamps, and there are many people who are on the high platform in front of the door, so that people can perform a hundred arts juggling on the stage, which is wonderful, attracting crowds of people, and there are people who put up a colorful shed in front of the door, which hangs out the lantern riddle, and puts the brocade gold and silver as the colored gold, which causes countless men and women to frown and think hard.
In the crowd, Lu Yun and Shi Xiu walked on the street hand in hand, the two of them were rewarded in the court today, and they were both awarded the rank of captain of the sixth grade, although it is only a fictitious position now, it is impossible for them to really lead the troops, but this is a rare glory after all, the two naturally do not know that this reward is just a perfunctory act of the imperial court, and it is also a compensation to make up for the reward that Lu Can deserves, so they are naturally happy, so they made an appointment to come out to see the lights. Both of them are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they are strong in martial arts, so they didn't bring their generals with them, so they sneaked out of the Zhenyuan Mansion. Shi Xiu came to Jianye for the first time and was not familiar with the streets here, Lu Yun was worried that she was lost, and there were too many people on the road, so he kept holding her hand and not letting her get lost.
Walking for a while, when the stone embroidery was dizzying, there was a sudden sound of a few men sighing in the ears, but it was said that there was a rich man in front of the door to put down the ring, it is said that the color head is an eight-treasure glass lamp, if someone can shoot money with arrows, then this lamp will be given away, it is said that if it is the same age, the daughter will be married to the person who took the ring. These men know how to bow and arrow, so go up and try your luck. Shi Xiu was naturally not interested in recruiting relatives, but as soon as she heard that archery grabbed the lamp, she pricked up her ears, and after listening for a while, she said to Lu Yun: "Brother Yun, let's try it, we won't guess the riddle." Lu Yun was also quite interested when he heard this, so he took the stone embroidery and walked in the direction that those people said. After walking for less than a stick of incense, I saw the arrows.
It is a wealthy family with high walls and deep households, a vacant lot is carved out in front of the door, there is a flagpole a hundred steps away from the gate, a red light is hung on the flagpole, a money is hanging under the lamp, it is floating in the wind, there is a colorful shed next to the gate, separated into two rooms inside and outside with a veil, the outer room is presided over by a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes with extraordinary bearing, and there is a long table in the shed, and there is a carved bow and arrow on the table. As for the eight-treasure glazed lamp as a color head is hanging on the door, it is an octagonal palace lamp, the palace lamp is composed of sixty-four glazed wafers, which are connected by gold and silver threads, and there are pearl jasper decorations, red candles swaying, more and more crystal clear. Just the bright pearl the size of a pigeon's egg at the top of the treasure lamp is already worth a fortune, no wonder there are many people rubbing their hands around. Although Nanchu Chongwen is light and martial, archery is also one of the six arts of scholars, but there are many people who dare to come forward to test shoot, but the test shot needs to take out ten taels of silver first, which makes many people stop.
Lu Yun speculated, the flagpole was specially prepared, it was ten zhang high, and the coin was light and small, only hanging under the lamp with red silk thread, and it fluttered around with the cold wind at the heights. If you shoot an arrow from the bottom up, such a distance, such a target, it is really very difficult, even if you dare not guarantee that you can shoot money, but the notice on the color shed shows that one of the three arrows can hit the money, then you have seven or eight points of certainty.
At this time, Shi Xiu's eyes were already shining and said, "Brother Yun, did you bring any silver?" β
Lu Yun was about to persuade Shi Xiu not to be in the limelight, but the four eyes were facing each other, and the light in Shi Xiu's bright eyes made Lu Yun's heart soften, and said: "You try it first, if it doesn't work, I will try again, and I will definitely be able to win the palace lamp." Shi Xiu glanced at him and said, "If I can't shoot, can you shoot?" Lu Yun was speechless, the archery skills of the two were between the two of them, and there was nothing wrong with Shi Xiu saying this. So he smiled bitterly and stuffed a piece of silver into Shi Xiu's hand.
Shi Xiu took the silver two, walked to the color shed, the eyes of the onlookers were bright, Shi Xiu was wearing white clothes, handsome appearance, eyebrows and corners of the eyes were full of confidence, such a heroic young age, if it weren't for her age, she didn't look very old, but I was afraid that those famous ladies who were difficult to go out would also be tempted and panicked. She stepped forward and took the carved bow and three feathered arrows, dropped the silver taels, walked behind the white line, squinted her eyes and looked at the money dancing in the wind, bent her bow like a full moon, and concentrated on the arrows. Everyone in the audience watched with bated breath, wanting to see if the handsome young man could shoot money with arrows, and after a while, Shi Xiu still did not send arrows, and some people in the crowd began to laugh and began to relax, thinking that this young man was just bluffing. At this moment, the bowstring sounded, a feather arrow flashed, a low sound, the feather arrow has passed through the money square eye, everyone has not reacted, the second feather arrow has crossed the sky, the red silk thread is cut off, the money fell to the ground, at this moment, the third feather arrow broke through the air, is wearing the money on the arrow, the remaining momentum has not stopped, penetrating into the flagpole behind it.
There was silence all around, in this Shangyuan night, such silence seemed very strange, Shi Xiu smiled slightly, put away his bow and arrows, and showed a smug smile on his reddish face, and the earth-shattering applause sounded all around. Shi Xiu cast a circle at everyone, turned to look at the middle-aged man who was twisting his beard in a daze, and said with a smile: "The eight-treasure glass lamp should belong to me, right?" β
The middle-aged man's heart was bitter and unspeakable, and when he hesitated, a silver bell-like voice came from the curtain behind him: "Manager Gao, since this son shoots money with arrows, he should naturally give away the palace lantern." β
Shi Xiu was slightly stunned, although he had already seen several figures behind the curtain, but he didn't expect that it was a woman who spoke, thinking of the gossip he had just heard, this family set up an arrow, and it also had the meaning of recruiting relatives, presumably the person behind the curtain was the young lady of this house, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Although she wears men's clothes and doesn't treat herself as a woman, she is a normal girl after all. couldn't help but look back at Lu Yun, Lu Yun was also secretly applauding the archery skills of stone embroidery, these days there is no less fighting, but today I saw the true skills of stone embroidery. Seeing Shi Xiu's pleading gaze, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Since the master has said so, why hasn't this manager gone to fetch the lamp?" β
As soon as Lu Yun stood beside Shi Xiu, the eyes of the onlookers were bright, although Lu Yun was not as handsome as Shi Xiu, but his life experience and his father's edification made him outstanding, and the same white clothes lined him with heroic strength, Lu Shi and the two stood together, reflecting each other, and the two of them became more and more extraordinary.
The middle-aged man smiled embarrassedly, told his family to go to get the palace lamp, and was about to come forward to talk, when the curtain was raised, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in brocade clothes walked out, she was wearing light brocade boots, her clothes were luxurious, delicate and bright like spring flowers, and her eyes were flowing like spring waves with affection, so that everyone took a deep breath.
She stepped forward and saluted Lu and Shi lightly: "The little girl Ji Lingxiang, I have seen the two sons, I don't know what to call the two, although I want to give this palace lamp, but I also want to give it to the white family, if it falls into the hands of the villain, wouldn't it be a pearl to the dark?" She said this very quickly, but the words were clear, which made people feel like pearls falling on a jade plate. Even Shi Xiu, as a woman, was moved by her heart when she heard it, even if she felt that she was a little strong, she didn't want to argue with her.
Lu Yun said as usual: "Miss didn't say that she would ask about her net worth when she hung the lamp, since we have already shot the money, this lamp should belong to us, if Miss wants to break the contract, I am afraid that your fathers and fellow villagers will not agree." As soon as these words came out, even though those onlookers were fascinated by the girl's beauty, they also talked about it, and some people said lightly: "This young lady, you can't count when you speak, you ask about people's identities, don't you fancy this little boy?" β
The face of the girl in brocade changed, she was beautiful, and she had a powerful backstage, so she had always wanted the wind to be windy, to be rainy, and no one had ever been rude to her, but today Lu Yun robbed him white, and caused the scoundrel to mock her, and she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, and a cold and murderous aura flashed in her eyes.
In fact, although Lu Yun is young and strong-blooded, how can he have no feelings for beauty, but he has met girls like Jiang Roulan and Shi Xiu, the lord of Zhaohua County, so for Ji Lingxiang, he did not have any waves in his heart. If you talk about appearance, Jiang Roulan and Ji Lingxiang are just between the best, but if you talk about temperament, they are worlds apart, Roulan, not only has a gentle and kind nature, but also has the pride of the royal family who looks down on the world, that kind of pride is not an appearance of form, but a self-confidence and self-esteem that goes deep into the bone marrow, even if it is delicate as water, there are turbulent waves hidden under the water surface, that is Jiang Roulan. Although Lu Yun has not really understood Roulan, but a few times he has seen him, he has already reflected the shadow of Roulan in his heart, although it is as unattainable as the bright moon, it is difficult to get rid of the admiration and love. Although Shi Xiu's appearance is not as good as Ji Lingxiang, she is heroic and heroic, and she has no weakness and restraint of a woman, but she has another arrogant demeanor, not to mention that they have fought side by side for many days, and the two have already unconsciously had the emotion of blood connection. In contrast, although Ji Lingxiang is beautiful and delicate, she can't help but be a little arrogant, her temperament is not as good as soft blue, and her affection is not as good as stone embroidery.
At this time, the chief manager has already held the palace lamp, the palace lamp is very delicate, after taking out the candle, it can be easily folded, the chief manager is packed in a red brocade box, and hands to the stone embroidery. After Shi Xiu took it, she walked out with joy, Lu Yun followed her with a smile on her face, and neither of them looked at the brocade-clothed girl more, and walked out as she spoke.
The onlookers saw that the palace lamp had been taken away, so they all dispersed, leaving only the brocade-clothed girl still standing in front of the color shed with silver teeth, her face turned pale, and she set up an arrow ring here, originally to attract Lu Yun to come, this is a plan that has been formulated for a long time, and it began to start at the moment when Lu Yun was out of the house, so it was specially used to attract Lu Yun and Shi Yujin to come. Who knew that although people came, it was Shi Yujin who won the lamp. This brocade-clothed girl didn't know that Shi Xiu was a woman's body, she only knew that she was a Shi Yujin with the same name as Lu Yun, in fact, in her opinion, the personable Shi Yujin was more in line with her mind, but the master's order was to let herself get close to Lu Yun by snatching the lamp with arrows, but fortunately, Lu Yun's talent was not bad. But what she never imagined was that Lu Yun turned a blind eye to her, and such humiliation made her hate Lu Yun to the core, and she was secretly worried about whether the master would blame her.
Seeing her gloomy expression, the senior manager said in a low voice: "Third Miss don't worry, even if this matter doesn't work out, the first seat won't blame you." β
Ji Lingxiang sighed lightly and said, "If the senior sister's side can go more smoothly and win the top prize of the Oiran, the master will be happy, or he won't blame me, but now the master is very angry, I'm afraid that this time will be difficult." β
The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "Third Miss, don't worry, the first seat has already ordered to get rid of the person who ruined our big thing, Liu Rumeng is just a helpless and weak woman, and sooner or later it will fall into our grasp." β
Ji Lingxiang didn't say anything, although she was young, she was not naΓ―ve, and she didn't think that this matter would be so easy to solve, not to mention that no matter what the result was, it had nothing to do with him, she was just worried about how she would be able to get through the current hurdle.
"The Falun turns in the sky, and the Brahman voice comes up from the sky. The lamps and trees shine with thousands of lights, and the flowers and flames bloom. The moon shadow is suspicious of flowing water, and the spring breeze contains night plums. Burnt the golden land, bell hair glazed platform. (Note 1)", the bright moon is high, the lights are brilliant, and below is the busy royal street, from the half-open and half-closed windows, there is a moving singing, even in such a noisy night, the singing is so clear and audible.
In the upstairs room, a beautiful girl with towering temples and a light veil sang a low voice, singing like a dream. In one corner of the room, two men listened with a smile, each accompanied by two beautiful girls. At the end of the song, a middle-aged man clapped his hands and said: "Good songs, good words, Brother Song is really good at writing, no wonder I helped Miss Liu win the position of Oiran, but I'm afraid I will offend others?" Another young man with a cold expression said drunkenly: "Brother Shang is too worried, if someone really blames me for this trivial matter, at most I will avoid it for a while, and if I want to come and go, there shouldn't be many people who still remember this matter." But Brother Shang seems to be in a good mood today, don't you have the heart to see my jokes? β
The middle-aged man laughed, pushed the beautiful woman in his arms away, and said to the young man: "Brother Song, thanks to your strategy, when my father convened the staff recently, he often had words of encouragement to me, with your merits, you can rest assured, don't dare to say anything else, over there in Moon Shadow Xuan, I will definitely be able to persuade them not to embarrass you." β
Yu Lun smiled faintly when he heard this, and said: "In fact, Ling Zun is also looking forward to Jackie Chan, so in the past, Brother Shang had a lot of encouragement to Brother Shang, Brother Shang is the talent of the Prime Minister who is in charge of the court, if the prime minister can adopt good words and make decisions on the spot, he is already a good minister, I think Ling Zun just thinks that Brother Shang can accept the foolish views of the younger brother, and can apply the camera, so he has a lot of encouragement to Brother Tai." And after all, General Lu is the Optimus Jade Pillar of Southern Chu, Ling Zun just wants to restrain him a little, lest he go astray, my little shallow opinion, I'm afraid I haven't seen it in Shang Xiang's eyes. β
Shang Chengye's expression was fluttering, and he said proudly: "Of course, my father will not put the Lumen erector in his eyes, and this person has colluded with Dayong Chongchen, my traitor Jiang Zhe of Nanchu, if it weren't for the fact that this person still has the heart of the army, I am afraid that my father would have punished him a long time ago." β
Yu Lun's heart moved, and he deliberately said: "Oh, Brother Shang is talking about the Marquis of Chu who married Princess Dayong, although Song also thinks that this person has no integrity, but he can have today's achievements, presumably it is not an ordinary person, I heard that this person has helped Emperor Yong to win the heir, and also helped King Qi Pinghan, such skills are rare in the world." General Lu was able to retreat the three-way army of the Yongjun army with his own strength, and such a ability is also extremely unusual. No wonder everyone said that the two of them once had a friendship between master and apprentice, but General Lu, as a general of Southern Chu, should kill his relatives in righteousness. β
Shang Chengye clapped his hands and said: "That's right, that Jiang Zhe failed the king's grace, betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy for the sake of glory and wealth, and married the king's wife, which is really a big rebellion." Although Lu Can was employed under him, the Lu family was a Southern Chu family, and he should have killed his relatives in righteousness, but Lu Can not only defended Jiang Zhe in many ways, but even let his son go to Chang'an, which was quite suspected of collaborating with the enemy, if it weren't for his merits this time, his father would never let go of this matter. There is also the Jiaxing Jing family, which is Jiang Zhe's mother's family, and his father intends to get rid of the Jing family, and Lu Can is also a hindrance from it, how can this really be true. β
Yu Lun said with a smile: "This must be because Xiangye is too anxious, General Lu has always known for his rewards and punishments, and he will definitely not agree to destroy people for no reason, but Brother Shang, although the Jing family has broken off contact with Jiang Zhe, but after all, it is also Jiang Hou's mother's family, isn't Xiang Ye afraid of offending this person?" β
Shang Chengye said disdainfully: "If it weren't for the eyes of General Lu, my father would have already attacked the Jing family, then although Jiang Zhe is famous, most of it is the Dayong royal family boasting about the face of Princess Changle, this person's father has also seen it back then, if he is really talented, how can he not see it, this person may have some conspiracies and tricks, and the matter of seizing the heir may indeed be a big contribution, but if he can help Li Xian destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, I don't believe that he can do anything as a powerless literati. I'm afraid it's just to spy on Li Xian, the king of Qi, for Emperor Yong. β
Hearing this, Yu Lun already knew that the upper echelons of Nanchu really didn't look down on Jiang Zhe, and he could guess that this might be Shang Weijun and others to maintain morale by belittling the enemy, but just looking at Shang Chengye's talent and ability, he knew that Shang Weijun and others might not be able to look down on Jiang Zhe much, he was taught by Jiang Zhe in the past, and naturally knew the harm of such a light enemy, but he naturally didn't want to reverse Shang Chengye's perception, but just smiled: "That is the case, if Xiangye makes people do it slowly, it will be effective." , The Jing family is also a family, there must be unscrupulous children, if one person is found to have a fault, he will dispose of one person, even if General Lu intends to maintain it, can he still be embarrassed for one or two people and Xiangye? β
Shang Chengye's eyes lit up, thinking about the feasibility of this method, thinking for a long time, showing a smug smile, thinking that using this method can not only satisfy his father's wishes, but also secretly hit the Lu family, if his father knew, he would be very satisfied.
Seeing this, Yu Lun already knew that Shang Chengye had entered the court, so he deliberately changed the topic, he was very proficient in music and poetry, and he was also the first to talk about some anecdotes, and Shang Chengye quickly forgot about the episode and just concentrated on having fun.
In the dead of night, even the crowd on the street outside gradually dispersed, Shang Chengye was already overwhelmed with alcohol, and helped the beautiful woman to go into the inner room to have fun, but he stood in front of the window with wine, looking at the bright moon sinking in the west, his expression was gloomy, in the dead of night, he was always difficult to relieve the loneliness in his heart, so he often indulged in lust until dawn on weekdays, but tonight was different, he knew that there were people in the dark watching him, and those people had begun to drive away passers-by, so as not to have the opportunity to blend into the crowd and escape, And he just wants to give them a chance. He took out a sobering pill from his waist and took it, secretly exercising several times, and felt that his energy and mind had stabilized. He lightly pressed the window lattice, and his body fell to the street like a flying goose, like a falling flower to the ground, silently.
There was a light sound in the dark, and not long after, in the vast morning mist, there was a figure of a woman in green clothes, the woman was covered with a light veil, although it was only a slow trip, but there was a noble and graceful temperament, behind her two strong maids followed closely, these two girls did not cover their faces, revealing a delicate face like a flower and jade, at a glance, they knew that they would not be more than twenty years old, but their domineering sword aura made people dare not believe that these two people were not yet twenty years old.
Yu Lun looked at the three women, a cynical smile appeared on his handsome face, and said: "It turns out that Moon Shadow Xuan still has such a beautiful female swordsman, Song really admires it, but I don't know how many girls are worth?" β
The two girls showed an awe-inspiring murderous aura on their faces, although the woman standing in the middle had a face hidden under the light veil, but her eyes also revealed a cold murderous intent, she said coldly: "Song Yu, since you like to flamboyant, then if this seat kills you, it will not be considered indiscriminate killing of innocents." β
Song Yu smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but saw the woman in green clothes waving her hand, the two girls had already pounced on the sword, the sword light was shining, revealing infinite killing power, these two girls had outstanding swordsmanship, and they cooperated very tacitly, and Song Yu was a little busy for a while. The two girls were in high spirits, and they even came out with killers, forcing Song Yu to retreat again and again. The woman in green clothes nodded slightly, as if she was quite satisfied with the swordsmanship of the two maids. At this moment, the situation suddenly changed, Song Yu stumbled, fell backwards, the two girls swung their swords at the same time, just at the last moment, Song Yu's figure was like a swimming fish, slid out of the two swords, and at the same time he folded the fan in his hand lightly, and the two black flashes entered the throats of the two girls at the same time, and the delicate bodies of the two girls trembled at the same time, falling downward, and Song Yu was already standing aside as if nothing happened. The woman in green clothes was shocked, her eyes turned on the two girls, and she said coldly: "What a vicious secret weapon, killing people with a smile, Your Excellency is so vicious." β
Song Yu showed a faint arrogance on his face, and sneered: "Song has killed countless people, and he has never had the heart to pity the jade, these two girls are a lesson from the past, but the girl still has to fight with Song?" β
The woman in Tsing Yi said coldly: "Your Excellency is so arrogant, when this seat became famous, I am afraid that you have not yet become a teacher." Look at the sword. The voice did not stop, a sharp sword had already pointed to Song Yu's chest, Song Yu's body flew back with the sword, and the two seemed to cooperate with each other ten thousand times, and there was no gap in the human sword. When the sword was about to end, the folding fan in Song Yu's hand was prominent, this move was wonderful to the peak, the woman in green clothes was caught off guard, and returned to the sword to block, Song Yu took advantage of the situation to attack, and the two fought hard in the light mist. The swordsmanship of the woman in Tsing Yi is wonderful, reflecting the moonlight sinking in the west, the sword light is like snow, and the dazzling streamer flying rainbow envelops the figures of both of them. And Song Yu's posture is light, flying endlessly in the sword light, the folding fan in his hand flickers open and closes, every movement is so clear and smooth, chic and elegant, without a bit of murderous aura, but as long as the woman in Tsing Yi shows a little flaw, his moves will become vicious and ruthless, silently passing through the sword net of the woman in Tsing Yi, directly taking the vital point, forcing her to return to the sword to protect her. After fighting for a hundred and ten moves, the two are still evenly matched, the more murderous the woman in Tsing Yi is, she has already become famous in the world more than ten years ago, and she can't imagine that today she will be forced to draw by a young man who is seven or eight years younger than herself.
At this moment, from the tall building on the other side, a soft voice shouted, "Stop." Then a purple shadow flew down, separating the woman in Tsing Yi and Song Yu, the two looked at each other, but the person who came was an old man in purple, his appearance was clear, his expression was majestic, although he did not carry a weapon, but his hands were as white as jade, very dazzling. Song Yu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he had already thought of the identity of this old man, this person was the master Mianli Hidden Needle Euro Ning personally hired by Shang Weijun, it is said that this person's martial arts are unfathomable, and it is said that he is close to the innate realm. He was Shang Weijun's confidant, he didn't expect to appear here, thinking of this person's identity, Song Yu made a respectful demeanor, and didn't dare to say a word. The woman in Tsing Yi frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little difficult to decide.
The old man said lightly: "Miss Xie, this person is Shang Gongzi's best friend, and Xiangye also knows a lot about him, everyone is working for Xiangye, why kill each other?" Tell Ji Shouza and Yan Shouzao what I mean, and they will understand. β
The woman in green clothes finally sighed, put her sword back into its sheath, bowed, and then turned to leave, and after a while, several middle-aged women appeared and took the bodies of the two girls away. The old man sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity that you are a beautiful woman, but you can't imagine that the famous disciples of the past have fallen to such a state today." Song Yu, the old man has already noticed that you have done countless big cases in Nanchu in the name of a ruthless son, some people say that you are the number one killer in Jiangnan, and you did not disappear until a few years ago, I didn't expect you to live in seclusion in Jianye, what is the purpose of your approaching my son-in-law? β
Song Yu was not panicked in his heart, but his face made a panic and killing intent that his identity was revealed, and he said vigilantly: "Senior Ou wants to punish evil and promote good?" Although Song used to kill people as a career, and now he is washing his hands in a golden basin, as for the friendship with the monk son, it is not intentional. He could feel the old man's gaze firmly on his face, and if he showed a flaw, he would definitely incur a thunderous blow from the old man. However, what he said was not false, his relationship with Shang Chengye was indeed unintentional, but now he was using it to complete the task. As for the leakage of the killer's identity, it was intentional, which can explain his unpredictable whereabouts for more than ten years.
Sure enough, the old man smiled: "The old man doesn't care about these idle things, he just thinks it's a pity, Song Min, you were a young talent, but it's a pity that you became a killer, and now you have changed your ways, and it can be regarded as a lost way, the old man has already inquired, you and Gongzi really have no intention of getting acquainted, but even if you have the heart to get close to Gongzi and ask for a step into the body, it is not a mistake, Xiangye attaches great importance to you, and has made people take your case record away, from now on, no one will find out that you are a ruthless son, It's not difficult for you to make a name for yourself on the right path. β
Song Yu showed a strange look on his face, as if he had been found out by the old man because of his youth, a little embarrassed, and seemed to be very grateful to Shang Weijun for his kindness, he bowed deeply and said: "The late life is ashamed, and he has lived up to the teachings of the ancestors, but Song has wandered the world, and he has long lost the idea of fame, and he also asked the seniors to convey his late life to the Xiangye." However, Shang Gongzi treats the late birth as a sibling, so the late life has the heart to do some effort for the son, if the Xiangye feels that it is inappropriate, the late life will no longer meet with the Shang Gongzi. β
The old man's eyes flashed, and then he softened, and said lightly: "I see, you have no intention of fame, and the old man is not strong, but you have to keep to yourself, don't be so ruthless, this time for the sake of the old man, they let go, if you know that you are no longer under the protection of Shang Xiang, you will inevitably suffer tragic revenge." Since you are a monk and a son, you have a good grasp of it, and you have to do it yourself. β
When Song Yu heard this, he sneered in his heart, knowing that this old man was forcing himself to work for the Shang family, if he wanted to get out and leave, he was afraid that he would be killed, but he had expected this situation, and deliberately showed a panicked look, leaned over, and said: "Thank you for the teachings of your predecessors, Song Yu thank you." When he raised his head again, the old man in purple was gone. Song Yu smiled slightly, but a wisp of melancholy came to his heart, he took over the task, approached Shang Chengye, and influenced Shang Weijun's decision through this person, the danger of this task can be known regardless of asking, but at the beginning he was alone, naturally fearless, but now he has concerns, I just hope that it is good not to involve Liu Rumeng.
Song Yu couldn't have imagined that at this moment, a graceful man was looking at him through the bead curtain, and it wasn't until Song Yu's figure disappeared that the man sighed lightly and said to a middle-aged man behind him: "Such a person is staying in Jianye, why haven't we found out." β
The middle-aged man said in fear: "Shouza, this is also a matter of no choice, our Chentang's power in Jianye has been suppressed by Yihuang Hall, naturally the news is not good, if it weren't for our spies who found out that Ji Shouza invited Xie Protector to take action, he still didn't know about this matter?" β
The graceful man was Wei Ying, and he said coldly: "This Song Yu has an extraordinary bearing and a deep heart, I saw that he had the ability to help Liu Rumeng win the position of Oiran, and I knew that this person was very intelligent, such a person should be recruited, but Ji Shouzuo wanted to kill people to vent his anger, it was really a mouse's eyes." β
The middle-aged man didn't dare to speak, just kept silent, Wei Ying sneered: "It's a pity that this person is still in Shang Weijun's hands, so I can only regard him as an enemy, send someone to keep an eye on him, and report back from time to time." The middle-aged man promised repeatedly, Wei Ying's eyes flashed with cold light, he always felt that this young man would bring him a lot of trouble, but if he killed him, he might anger Shang Weijun, he didn't want to turn his face with the Shang family, so he could only sigh lightly and said: "The enemy is already ready to move, but here is just a hook, it's really chilling, alas!" β
