Chapter 163: Snowy Night
His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was in the abyss, but he didn't hide his naked eyes staring at her.
Suddenly, her heart skipped two beats.
The movement of his hand slowly stopped, and the corners of his mouth hooked up and smiled, "But Madame has begged me like this, so let's take it as if I told the gods." ”
Yu Zeyan didn't remember the wish he made in the old temple halfway up the mountain a few years ago, and the words blurted out on a whim, but he didn't expect that it would really be mentioned again someday in a few years.
Just when Gu Nian mentioned it for the first time, he was surprised. But now, he's not surprised.
After all, in Gu Nian's body, there was really such a profound and mysterious holy weapon as the Soul Bead.
He looked up at the night sky, letting the countless snowflakes hit him. Originally, it was just a momentary excitement, but now, somehow, my heart wants to seriously think about this wish to pray again.
Zhou Zhao's pursuit caused Gu Nian to almost die, and King Xu's step by step was pressing, and His Majesty, who had not had the slightest doubt.
The burning iron rods and the inhumane humiliation in prison.
Everything had to make him rechart his own path.
The most important thing is to find out the cause of his father's death and revenge.
Now Lao Wu wants the spy agency in his own hands, although it is a nominal cooperation, but Yu Zeyan knows that this cooperation may collapse and separate at any time.
Just Chong was in prison before he told how the king treated him.
These things need to be solved in the hands of great power.
He has always avoided this matter and pretended not to pose a threat to others, but now he needs to re-plan and plan.
Anyway, now that he has been targeted by King Xu, it is better to take a chance.
A hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled at Gu Nian: "How to fight?" ”
Gu Nian muttered to himself: "Playing support is, you continue to output in the lower lane, and I will add blood and attack speed to you to ensure that you don't die." ”
"Keeping me from dying?" Yu Zeyan snorted disdainfully, "You still have this ability?" ”
Gu Nian nodded, in recent days, she could feel more and more the power given to her by the soul beads in her body.
She looked at Yu Zeyan with a serious face, and slowly raised her hands.
A white barrier suddenly formed around his body.
The barrier was like smoke and mist, but it seemed like a visible air moving slowly.
Yu Zeyan was a little shocked, he didn't have such a strong internal force, but he couldn't do it so easily.
The snowflakes were also scattered outside the barrier, silently.
"Madame is so angry." Yu Zeyan smiled and said tactfully, "But I'm not bad." ”
The air around him fell silent, and as soon as he finished speaking, he turned slowly, a spark on the tip of his finger.
The candle in front of the monument had already been extinguished by the strong wind, and with a flick of his sleeve, the spark jumped to the top of the candle and gradually burned in the howling north wind.
Gu Nian was a little amazed, and muttered softly: "I didn't expect you to have this ability." ”
Yu Zeyan smiled mysteriously, but what she said next made Yu Zeyan unable to laugh at all.
"Didn't you set that fire in the city?"
Gu Nian just said it casually, and even made a joke, but looking at Yu Zeyan's eyes that gradually dimmed, she was stunned.
"No, it's you, right?" Gu Nian asked softly.
She really guessed correctly.
Impartially, the subtle dodging in her eyes was caught by her.
Yu Zeyan smiled awkwardly.
Somehow, Yu Zeyan subconsciously didn't want to lie to her.
So he responded to her question with this silence.
Walking water inside the city gate was indeed Yu Zeyan's doing, but the collapse of the bonfire outside was really not put by him.
A few days ago, Shen Huan found out that Zhang Qiyi of the Ministry of Rites had applied for an extra batch of silver from the Ministry of Rites.
Originally, it was necessary to hang a lot of colorful lanterns for the evening ceremony, so even if I heard that the lamp oil in the city could not be bought, it was understandable.
But Chang Ji found out again, and Zhang Qiyi of the Ministry of Rites actually wrapped all the lamp oil in the city.
Only then did Yu Zeyan become suspicious.
Zhang Qiyi is scheming, treacherous, and cunning, and is a well-known old oily courtesan in the court, and there is no one he can't climb.
Another reason why Yu Zeyan stared at him was that Zhang Qiyi's son was Zhang Yongji, the left waiter of the Secretary of the Prudential Punishment Department who killed a thousand knives.
If he simply used official business to collect personal wealth, it would be more cost-effective for him to buy anything than to buy lamp oil.
Taking advantage of the gap when he came back from the back mountain in the morning, Yu Zeyan went to the decoration place in front of Shangyang Gate.
The strange thing is that this bonfire is much higher than in previous years, and the structure inside is intricate, and you can't see anything from the outside, but Yu Zeyan knows that it is built with a "slipknot method", which is easy to collapse.
And not only was the bonfire coated with flammable lamp oil, but before leaving, he casually touched the iron shelf with colorful lanterns that was being tied up, and even it was coated with something like lamp oil.
Yu Zeyan seemed to understand what King Xu and Zhou Zhao were planning at night, but he was still not sure.
Blame the king, leaving no way back.
So while no one was seeing, he quickly sprinkled the inside of the city gate with lamp oil and dry straw.
The fire spread so great that it soon reached the inside of the city gates. Without Yu Zhiyan to set the fire in person, as soon as the wind blew, the spark quietly burned down the oil road to the city gate.
Yu Zeyan thought that it would be an assassination, but he didn't expect that this King Xu's escort was more serious than anyone else...
That's right, even if the palace is forced to kill the emperor, Yu Jingyan, who is older and favored than him, is still there, and the courtiers may not know who will come to power.
The wind in his ears was whistling, and a light call pulled Yu Zeyan's thoughts back to reality.
"Look." Gu Nian pointed to a group of dark shadows on the road in the distance, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
With a flick of his sleeve, the candle was extinguished in an instant.
"Shhhh
On the road far away, a team of horsemen was galloping towards the city.
Like a bamboo, like an arrow piercing the night sky, it shuttles quickly in this heavy snowfall.
In fact, there is no need to be nervous, there is still a long way to go from the main road. What's more, on such a snowy night with bad weather, who can see who clearly?
Yu Zeyan looked again, and Shen Huan, who was originally waiting not far away, had disappeared.
I should have gone up to find out the situation.
There is a curfew in Xijing City at night, so you should not be able to enter the city at will, let alone such a cycling team.
Yu Zhiyan sank down.
"It's not early, let's go back too." He whispered to Gu Nian behind him, "If you want to come to see Qiu Tong, you can come at any time, but don't come out too late in the future." ”
Gu Nian nodded, and then took his outstretched hand.
Soft and firm, full of security.
