Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Hidden Stake

After walking for a while, I heard him sigh leisurely and said softly: "Yes, if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached?" But this obvious truth is that some people don't understand. My teacher once said that if I were to take charge of this country in the future, I would not disgrace the dignity of his emperor of the three dynasties. Minghe's thoughts are now clear, and he even has plans to get rid of me. Today's court is rotten, and only such an iron-fisted rule can improve the situation. If he can really make Changguo stronger, I won't worry too much about the assassination. ”

Although his words were soft, they were like a thorn in the throat of the green leaves, and although it was not painful, its presence could be felt at all times.

"I have heard that the second army that has been going to the border has been marching out of Kyoto Castle for a long time, and that there are people from the Protectorate Clan participating in the war, so I think the news is about to come back, right? I only hope that everything will go well with them, and the people of Kyoto Castle must be waiting for this good news to come, so that they can live a year in a steady way. ”

The fact that the army was drawn from the city was well known, but the purpose was not to attack the Zhou State, but to go to sue for peace. The queen's own brother is still in a foreign country, so Zhou Guo did not let go of the peace talks, and bluntly said that if he wanted to exchange Guo Guangyuan back, he would have to give up Yuzhou, which was located on the border. This matter is a secret between the DPRK and China, and only extremely high-ranking people know about it, so Ye Luwu is like an ordinary person, who only knows one thing but does not know the other.

Xu Mingchuan knew that this matter could not come out of his mouth, so he had to suppress the hundred turns of thoughts in his heart, and said slowly: "Yes, the hope of the people is to have enough food and clothing, and there will be more than enough every year. ”

His gaze sank into the distance through the twilight in front of him, as if he could see the border through the dark sky. There were two clouds of fog in the beautiful eyes, and there was a deep worry hidden in the fog - worry about the future of the country.

Because Ye Luwu has cultivated since childhood, his heart has added a heart of benevolence for the living beings in the world more than him. If one day there is a real war, not only the people, but all living beings will suffer. At that time, the pure qi in the world will definitely be drastically reduced, and the spiritual veins in the world will only be affected. Although Chongguang is the first to bear the brunt, but which of the creatures in the world who absorb pure qi and cultivate the path can be spared?

The two of them had their own thoughts, and each walked forward silently.

The snow was heavier than when they left the Zhenguo Mansion, and large snowflakes kept falling from the sky, so that they couldn't even see the road ten paces away. At this time, the heavens and the earth were joined into a white patch, and even if they tried to distinguish between heaven and earth, they could not tell where the sky was and where the earth was. Presumably, when the chaos was not opened, there was such a scene between heaven and earth, Ye Luwu thought.

Fortunately, there was a faint cheer on the side, although it was not real, but there must be a teahouse nearby.

Just as the two of them were about to follow the sound forward, a guard walked quickly from behind, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Highness, Weichen's house is near here, and after turning to the left after ten zhang to the east, it is the most lively teahouse in Kyoto City." ”

Xu Mingchuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Don't say much, get up and lead the way." ”

The enchantment spread out by the leaf green is very large, and even the coachman who drives the carriage at the end will not be contaminated by the wind and snow. And it was still exuding warmth, even the inferior guards who were slightly thinly dressed would not feel cold. Seeing that the guard was crisp, dry and without snow, Xu Mingchuan secretly sighed in his heart, from such trivial things, he could see a person's true temperament.

When I arrived at the door of the teahouse, I found that although it was very lively, it was also overcrowded. As the table was already full, those who came late stood aside and listened to the storyteller tell the story.

Ye Luwu quietly opened the door curtain a crack, looked at the situation inside, and then turned to the guards and said, "I'm afraid there is no empty space for you to go in, wait for me to go in and let someone bring you a pot of hot tea to warm up, and then go back first." ”

Then, without waiting for them to refuse, she turned her head to look at Xu Mingchuan and said with a smile: "I've never heard anyone tell a story, do you go in with me or go back with them? ”

In fact, she was right, but Xu Mingchuan had never entered Nanshi. Everyone knows that Minami is the darkest place in the entire city of Kyoto, and the teahouse that opens here and is full of people must not be easy. Even though Ye Luwu has a unique skill, she is also a woman, how can he let her be alone in such a place?

Xu Mingchuan looked at the bitter gourd-like face of the guard in front of him, waved his right hand, and said with a smile: "How can you be sad, I'm afraid that this palace will be bullied by her? ”

When the guard heard this, he had to silently step aside, saying no more.

Instead, a girl rushed out, knelt down in front of Ye Luwu, and said hoarsely: "The townsman must not be! How can there be a reason for men and women to stay alone together! Besides, the townsman and His Royal Highness are noble, if someone finds out about today's events, they will definitely cause criticism, and it will be impossible to explain the reason at that time! If the townsman insists on this, let the slaves and maids follow him, so that he can be a witness, and he will not let those people be slandered in vain!"

These words were sincere, as if they were completely for the sake of Ye Luwu. But if you really think so, you will definitely not shout at the door of the overcrowded teahouse, isn't this obviously trying to provoke criticism?

Fortunately, Ye Luwu reacted very quickly, and when she just rushed out, she raised her right hand, strengthening the soul power above the enchantment, and firmly locked the sound within the enchantment. Otherwise, after she made such a fuss, I am afraid that tomorrow, the entire Kyoto City will know that she is alone with Xu Mingchuan in the teahouse. Besides, Xu Mingchuan is about to weaken the crown and has a noble status, but I am afraid that in the end, there will only be rumors that he has misbehaved and tried to seduce the prince. Although I don't care about this, I can't help but feel unhappy when I hear it.

Her eyes narrowed, although she didn't know what this girl wanted to do for a while, but if she was allowed to kneel here, it would definitely attract attention, so it was better to plan it.

"You get up first, I know you are kind, naturally you will not refuse. You can follow me in, but there is only one point, and you are not allowed to collide with anyone. ”

The girl nodded hurriedly, and quickly got up and stood beside Ye Luwu.

And Xu Mingchuan also thought of all this like her when he saw this scene, and he clearly locked her up, but why did he have to take it with him? He looked at Ye Luwu with a little doubt, but saw that her eyes were shining, and she seemed to be sure of everything.

The girl took the first step to open the door curtain, the green skirt moved slightly, and the moment she stepped into the teahouse, a red light flashed from the tip of her right finger in the sleeve, burrowing into the maid's body.

If you want to come with you, then you have to keep your mouth shut, and you should wait until you return to the house before you speak. I have never been evil to anyone, but I also do not tolerate being calculated. Playing such a low-level trick in front of my eyes, could it really be that I am a fool?
