Xiaoyu and Lu Rui formed a united front and fought with Yang Hao for three days, and during these three days, Yang Hao hid in Qing'er's room in disgrace.

On the evening of the fourth day, when dinner was about to be eaten and everyone was about to leave. Yang Hao suddenly got up and said goodbye to Lu Rui. He blushed and stumbled to finish speaking, Lu Rui's eyes turned red, and he fell on the table and sobbed. Li Jasmine was excited and excited, and when Yang Hao finished speaking, she applauded and applauded.

When everyone comforted Lu Rui, Yang Hao fled back to Qing'er's house, although there was still some spicy embarrassment on his face. But being able to say the apologies in his heart, Yang Hao finally had a heart. When Qing'er came back, Yang Hao was almost asleep.

"Wake up." Qing'er pushed Yang Hao, "Don't sleep here tonight." ”

"What do you have to say?" It was Qing'er's idea to let Yang Hao apologize to Lu Rui in person, although Yang Hao had already regretted it in his heart, he still wanted to coax Lu Rui in private, after all, it was still a little embarrassing to say those words in front of the Li sisters.

"The knots in your heart have been untied, what are you still doing here?" When Qing'er spoke, there was a hint of coquettishness in her eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere, this is my home, you are my family." Yang Hao hugged Qing'er, and one hand flexibly drilled into it from the neckline.

"Ha, don't make a fuss...... Ah, don't do that...... Hate ......"

Qing'er half-pushed and half-fell into Yang Hao's arms, Yang Hao's monkey was anxious again, and took off Qing'er's underwear with a roar, hugging her and rolling in the bed......

After some upslaught, the two fell asleep with their backs to back. This was the earliest time Yang Hao slept in two months, and he woke up in a daze, and it was not yet dawn. Looking at the sky, it was only a little more than a watch, Yang Hao was stunned for a while, and suddenly felt a little unfinished, he turned over and pushed Qing'er's soft shoulder, but Qing'er had already fallen asleep. Yang Hao stroked the two balls of pink flesh on her chest with his hands, trying to wake her up. Qing'er muttered twice in her sleep, and suddenly turned over and brushed Yang Hao's hand away.

Yang Hao, who couldn't help but put on his clothes, came to Xiaoyu's room, Xiaoyu was wrapped in the quilt and lay face in, Yang Hao guessed that she was not asleep, and deliberately pulled the quilt with her. Xiaoyu really didn't sleep, she raised her neck to take a look, but she grabbed the corner and refused to let go. Yang Hao drilled into the quilt from her feet, and the little fish stretched out his legs and kicked out. Yang Hao grabbed her foot and neck and scratched the soles of her feet, Xiaoyu was afraid of itching, and he didn't dare to stretch it out again after breaking away.

Yang Hao climbed into the quilt, and the little fish was lying face down and refused to turn over. It took a lot of effort for Yang Hao to pull her over.

Xiao Yu glanced at him, and said with a cold face: "Dirty, don't touch me." Yang Hao said with a smile: "It's been washed, I don't believe you can see it yourself." "The little fish doesn't listen to the protection of his hands, and he won't let him touch it. The two of them fought again, and in the end let Yang Hao get his hands.

The little fish put on his clothes and jumped out of bed, poured a copper kettle of water and burned it on the brazier. Yang Hao asked in a daze: "In the middle of the night, what kind of tea do you drink?" Xiao Yu sneered: "Think beautifully, who will make tea for you in the middle of the night?" Yang Hao said: "What are you tossing if you don't make tea, come back and lie down, don't freeze." Xiaoyu didn't listen, and after a busy circle, he lifted the quilt and went to bed, and his hands and feet were cold. Yang Hao put her hand on his chest and covered it. Xiaoyu pushed him and said: The water is good, go down and wash it before going out, don't be annoying. ”

Yang Hao slept sideways, facing in, and muttered: "This person is crazy, where can I go in the middle of the night?" As soon as the words fell, someone knocked on the courtyard door. Winter Rain Cloak went out and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's me. There is something important to see the general. It was Yu Yanlu who spoke, and there was a bit of anxiety in his tone. Yang Hao didn't say a word and dressed out. Dongyu also opened the courtyard door and let the Yu Yan furnace come in.

"Oh no, my lord, Zeng Chongyang committed suicide."

After Zeng Chongyang was transferred from the minister of the Qin Mission and the Shaoqing of the Metropolitan Water Supervisor to the inspectorate to supervise the imperial history, Yang Hao arranged a small courtyard for him in the Defense Embassy, where he worked, ate and lived, and was equipped with three scribes for the envoy. But Zeng Chongyang seemed to have suddenly seen through everything, he didn't ask anything about the imperial history, he just read, wrote, ate, slept every day, occasionally took a walk in the yard after dinner, and when he was in high spirits, he even went to tease the two thrushes in the cage. No one expected him to suddenly find a short-sightedness.

He committed suicide with the poison hidden in the ring, an extremely elaborate gemstone gold ring that was hidden in the groove beneath the emerald, a very toxic black powder.

On this day, the kitchen made a dish of his favorite fried sprouts, which Zeng Chongyang ate with relish. After dinner, he sat down and drank tea as usual. When Lao Wang, who was waiting for him to live, put away the dishes and chopsticks, he also had a few gossips with Lao Wang. Then he suddenly stood up, changed into the official robe of the superintendent of the imperial history, and asked Lao Wang to help him smooth it out. Then he bit off the emerald on the ring with lightning speed, and licked it in the groove with his tongue, and his face turned blue immediately. Lao Wang was so frightened that he ran out all the way.

Fortunately, Qin Sihu lived in the embassy, and Zeng Chongyang saved his life. Yu Yanlu showed the ring to Yang Hao, Yang Hao was shocked in his heart, he seemed to have seen this kind of ring on Han Yue's hand. Yang Hao speculated that the swords in the camp might have such rings in order to know his life when he was captured. After all, Saber knows too much about the inside story, and the horizontal sword and halberd have a low status, and even if they fall into the hands of the enemy, they can't ask for anything valuable.

"Don't worry, he can't die." Qin Sihu came out of the back room, soaked his hands in a bucket of cold water, shook them dry, picked up a hot towel and wiped his face.

"This poison is extremely toxic, if he really wants to die, he can take the poison behind Lao Wang's back, as long as he works half a cup of tea, Da Luo Jinxian can't save him."

Yang Hao was very interested in this conclusion, and he asked Yu Yanlu to bring a list of all the people who had been in contact with Zeng Chongyang in the past two days. After Zeng Chongyang became the supervisor of the imperial history, Yang Hao greeted Yu Yanlu, he wanted to go out and walk around or meet anyone, but the guards of the faction were indispensable. Now Yang Hao travels, there are thirty guards in the city and sixty outside the city. Zeng Chongyang's entourage was half of Yang Hao's, while Qing'er and the others only accompanied them when they went out according to the regulations.

They were all people in the embassy, Yang Hao threw the list aside and asked Yu Yanlu: "Has Guan Suo come back?" Yu Yanlu said with a smile: "How did you forget, Captain Guan has been gone for less than ten days. I'm afraid I haven't arrived in Luoyang yet. ”

"My lord, there is a Chang'an guest outside the door asking to see you."

"It's so late, who is it?" Yu Yanlu asked.

"They gave this." The guard presented a black lacquered wooden plaque. Yang Hao frowned when he saw it, and ordered, "Call them in." ”

The man was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, short in stature, and wore a purple cloak. This person's name is Tang Ning, and he is the post envoy of the Baoli Society of the Thorn Horse Camp stationed in Linzhou, responsible for the liaison between Fengzhou, Hedong and other northern border towns and Chang'an. According to the rules of the Thorn Horse Battalion, the correspondence between various places and Chang'an could only be passed on from generation to generation through post envoys.

The envoy also often served as the personal envoy of the chief steward to various places to announce orders. This is the third time that Tang Ning has come to Fengzhou this year, the first time was in March, before the faceless meeting of the Baoli Society, he came to Yongfeng on behalf of the chief housekeeper of the Baoli Society to inspect the preparations for the meeting. The second time was that Feng'an and Yongfeng were withdrawn from the state and divided into counties, and Fengzhou was separated from the Tiande Army and transferred to Shuofang Town, and he asked Yang Hao for interrogation and countermeasures.

The first two times I came, I was received by a high standard. But this time, after Tang Ning walked into the inner study, Yang Hao was still sitting motionless behind the bookcase, and Yu Yanlu stood aside with his hand pressed the handle of the knife, slightly stunned. He arched his hand and said, "Lord Yang doesn't seem to welcome Tang to come. ”

Yang Hao snorted, "Yang is now a guilty person, and he is too close to Lord Tang, for fear of tarnishing the name of the adult." ”

The visitor smiled, untied his cloak and hung it on the hanger, and found a chair to sit down. said casually: "I heard that Zeng Chongyang committed suicide in fear of sin, but I don't know if he died." Yang Hao's heart was shocked, and he gave Yu Yanlu a look, and Yu Yanlu walked out of the inner study and closed the door.

"You killed people?" Yang Hao asked coldly.

"I don't really want to kill him, teach him a lesson." Yang Hao had no intention of asking Tang Ning how he used to force Zeng Chongyang to commit suicide by taking poison, but he didn't let him die. The Stinghorse Battalion is always cloudy and foggy, so you can't figure out why.

"The chief butler is very satisfied with your performance this time, and let me give you a verbal commendation."

"Will there be a big butler from now on?"

"You're wrong, the big butler will always be the big butler. The unity of the five societies is Liu Hongyi's wishful thinking, and now there is no difference between Yuanhe and Baoli in the Thorn Horse Camp, but if the name is changed, can people's hearts be changed? He, Liu Hongyi, also opened his mouth and said, 'We opened a society', closed a 'Your Baoli Society', he can't change it, and others can't change it. ”

Yang Hao sneered: "But Your Majesty thinks that the integration of the five societies has been completed!" Will people like us who brave the wind and waves end well? Zeng Chongyang adheres to the holy decree, and you still want to kill him, but I killed the Qincha guards and put the ministers under house arrest. The chief butler commends me, but will Your Majesty let me go? ”

Tang Ning couldn't help sneering when he heard this, hehe, stared at Yang Hao coldly, and said, "But you have a knife in your hand, who can move you?" You did what you should have done, and you did what you shouldn't. Until now, I haven't seen how anyone can do anything to you. ”

Yang Hao didn't answer, Tang Ning's words were only half right, and the reason why he has not been punished so far is that in addition to having a knife in his hand, it is also because of the factional dispute within the Assassin Horse Battalion. As Tang Ning said, although the five societies are united, the big butler will always be the big butler.

Zeng Chongyang, who was driven out of Fengzhou by Yang Hao in early August, was once idle at home. People like him are not afraid of failure, but they are most afraid of loneliness. Zeng Chongyang, who was lonely, made a mistake to Emperor Wenzong. In the middle of the conversation, he raised a big question, a big question similar to "why can't human beings restrain the selfish desires in their hearts": Why is the Thorn Horse Camp full of talents, but it has not been able to achieve great things, and what is the crux of the problem?

Zeng Chongyang's answer was: There are many factions in the camp, each doing its own thing, tearing each other down, but it is powerful but cannot be used in one place, so it is naturally powerless to achieve great things. This argument is not new, but the emperor who is helpless is inspired by it. After careful consideration, the emperor decided to unite the five societies of the Assassin Horse Camp: one Kaicheng Society, one big butler, and one set of people, and listen to his orders alone. He hopes to unite his heart and soul and achieve great things.

The new privy envoy Liu Hongyi became the only chief butler of the Thorn Horse Battalion, and Zeng Chongyang, who was idle at home, was once again reused. Toyosu is where he fell, and he wants to get up again in Toyosu.

Zeng Chongyang was still a little soft-hearted after all, so he followed Zhu Qi's advice to kill Yang Hao in the inner study, instead of letting Zhang Mu escort people back to Chang'an, today's Fengzhou will definitely be a different situation.

"The chief butler asked me to tell you, so that you can do it yourself in the future." Downing said this, and picked up his cloak to open the door.

"You might as well make it clear." Yang Hao really didn't bother to think about it.

"Don't forget your roots, that's what the big housekeeper wants to tell you." After Tang Ning finished speaking, he wrapped his cloak tightly and opened the door.

Yang Hao sat in the study for a long time, pushed the door and went out, it was already the third watch, there was half a cold moon in the west, and the weather was suffocating. Yang Hao wrapped his cloak tightly and walked into the west courtyard. The courtyard was quiet, the lights were still on in Lu Rui's house, standing under the eaves of the porch and looking in, Lu Rui was sitting at the table peeling pears, yellow and clear pears. There were already seven peeled pears in the bamboo dustpan on the table.

Yang Hao pushed the door and walked in, and Lu Rui threw away his hand like a frightened deer, got up and ran. Yang Hao stepped forward and hugged her tightly......
