Chapter 60: Sharpening the Blade with No Hands

One

Zhao Yannian, the king of Luoyang, is the beautiful son Yan Lian that Hou Ziyu once dreamed of. Since the person she married was the object of her heart, she should have been happy, but it was difficult for Hou Ziyu to laugh again.

"Are you stunned?" Zhao Yannian bent down and tried his best to keep his gaze on a horizontal line with Hou Ziyu.

But Hou Ziyu gritted her teeth, and the expression on her face changed like floating clouds, making people a little unable to guess what this seemingly unnerved woman felt in her heart.

Zhao Yannian said: "Originally, I was waiting for you at Hengfeng Restaurant as promised, but Yang Yi followed, so I was naturally inconvenient to show up, so I ......."

Hou Ziyu rushed: "Yes! Naturally, it is inconvenient for you to show up, even if I am besieged by the two factions of Taiyin and Tianyang, and when I am in danger, you will never show up...... Because of course you can't let Yang Yi know that the person who wants to put him to death is actually the king of Luoyang, who is the most trusted by the emperor today. ”

Zhao Yannian's face changed greatly, and his gentle tone also turned tough: "It's no better here than in the rivers and lakes, and many words can't be said nonsense." ”

Hou Ziyu pulled down the crown of beads on his head, threw it on the ground, and said, "Am I talking nonsense? Now that the crown prince Zhao Yanhuan has passed away, the matter of establishing the prince is still unresolved, and the most likely to gain power is the most trusted prince of the Holy Sun today - the king of Luoyang, but according to convention, the crown prince should be inherited by his eldest son, that is, Zhao Jinning, the king of Yiduanxian. King Kexian is young, his strength is weak, and he only has the residual power of the Bajun Mansion under his hands, how can he compete with the king of Luoyang, who is in power......"

Zhao Yannian pointed directly at Hou Ziyu and shouted: "Stop your mouth!" ”

Hou Ziyu smiled indifferently and continued: "As long as you don't want to sacrifice the king, just ask, who can compete with the king of Luoyang for the crown prince." And if you want to get rid of the king, you must first get rid of the Bajun Mansion. ”

Zhao Yannian's hands were trembling, but in fact, his whole body was already trembling.

He didn't expect that he, a silly-looking and somewhat willful little wife, knew everything about today's current politics. And this woman, who had been thrilled at the first sight of her, and who had decided to start over with her at that moment just now, was now exposing all kinds of things that seemed to be evil deeds with a look of disdain and indifference. It made him feel extremely embarrassed and hurt: "Do you know that it is cruel to say such a despicable thing in front of someone who really likes you?" Hou Ziyu suddenly turned her head and said, "Really? Hehe, I really understand your sincerity now, that is, you do not hesitate to use everyone around you who can be used, including me! She now has a mirror in her mind. She figured out why the roadside robbery she asked "Yan Gongzi" to arrange turned into a bloody flint massacre, and why she had to go to the legendary "Death Valley" with Yang Yi step by step after experiencing a brutal pursuit.

It turned out that everything was in the planning of the person in front of him.

It turned out that the girl's feelings for the first time were so vulnerable, far less real and pure than the feelings in the sword and sword shadow.

When she thought of this, Hou Ziyu was already very clear about where her love was and where her love was. And in this complete awakening, there is also a disturbing hidden worry.

Two

Zhao Yannian paused, returned to his arrogant posture, and said: "Since you know so clearly, I might as well say that if you 'ignore the previous suspicions', I can naturally also 'ignore the previous suspicions', so that we can all leave everything behind and start over, or continue the story of 'Cai Lingzhou'." His "disregard for past suspicions" towards Hou Ziyu naturally refers to the life-and-death friendship between her and Yang Yi along the way, or the life-and-death relationship.

Hou Ziyu said: "Of course I know the severity of the situation, how dare I care about the 'previous suspicion' with you." ”

"Anyway......" she looked at the other party with contempt and said, "You marry me just for my father's military power!" ”

When Zhao Yannian heard her say this, he was anxious and angry, and said angrily: "Just take it!" ”

Hou Ziyu held back her anger and said, "So, this time Yang Yi has no return?!" ”

Zhao Yannian smiled fiercely: "Since I know that Yang Yi has only entered my Luoyang Palace, why don't I take this opportunity?" ”

Hou Ziyu also laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be better to use a way to change the name to the right one!" ”

Zhao Yannian glanced at her puzzled, and smiled softly: "It seems that you are still on my side after all." ”

Three

Hou Ziyu and Zhao Yannian came to the hall.

Yang Yi was really still there, Hou Ziyu was overjoyed, and then saw the chief eunuch in the palace, Father-in-law Qi, followed by the two little eunuchs who were as weird as him, and this time they came to announce the decree on the fact that the princess was kidnapped on the way.

When he saw Hou Ziyu, Father-in-law Qi was taken aback and said, "Thanks to the emperor's grace, the princess finally came back safe and sound, congratulations!" Hou Ziyu thought to herself: "I can come back safely, thanks to Yang Yi's desperate protection, what is the matter with Emperor Guan?" ”

Gonggong Qi said again: "But the emperor's will still has to be announced......" He opened the holy decree and was about to read it, but Hou Ziyu interrupted: "Slow! ”

Father-in-law Qi sighed: "Why are you still so unruly!" ”

Hou Ziyu paced in front of Yang Yi and smiled at Gonggong Qi and Zhao Yannian: "There is something more important than reading the holy decree right now. ”

Zhao Yannian looked at Yang Yi, and there was a strange smile in his eyes.

"Do you know who this person is?"

Yang Yi stood up suddenly, and his face became extremely ugly.

"He is the thief who made a lot of trouble in the city back then-Yi Zhuoyang."

Gonggong Qi hurriedly said: "Miss Hou, Yang Huwei is a person from Bajun Mansion, don't be credible!" ”

Zhao Yannian also pretended to agree: "That's right! To say that he is the chief criminal of the imperial court, there must be reliable evidence. ”

Hou Ziyu said: "Of course there is." She turned around, walked up to Gonggong Qi, and said, "The thief Yi Zhuo Yang has made great achievements in the world, coming and going like the wind, and no one has seen his true face so far." But everyone knows that he is also a person from Feng Miaotang, who was once famous in the rivers and lakes, and everyone who is Feng Miaotang has a unique tattoo on his chest that is difficult to get rid of, which is his eternal identity memory. ”

"Guard Yang, do you dare to loosen your clothes so that everyone can distinguish them?"

Yang Yi looked at Hou Ziyu, his eyes were full of hatred and confusion.

"No need to recognize, I admit it."

Zhao Yannian said: "Come on, catch him!" ”

Four

More than a dozen guards with strong martial arts came from the four breads, Yang Yi was already ready to admit the ambush, but Hou Ziyu suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and made a clean maneuver, and put the guard behind him who rushed up first to grab the merit as a chest, in fact, this guard was completely capable of dodging, but he didn't think that it would be Hou Ziyu who drew the sword.

Pulling back the bloody sword, Hou Ziyu quickly stretched out his arms sideways, grabbed Gonggong Qi, who was about to flee the scene, and compared the sword to his neck, so frightened that he shouted "The emperor helps", Hou Ziyu spat and said: "Shut up, the emperor is not your father!" ”

"Hou Ziyu, what do you want to do?" Zhao Yannian asked angrily.

"What? Didn't you see that I killed a guard, and now a murderer and a thief are about to flee for their lives, and the bargaining chip is this dead eunuch who is neither male nor female! Hou Ziyu's eyes jumped with light, it was the joy of breaking out of the cage for the first time.

Yang Yi stood behind Hou Ziyu, looking at her slender but firm back, he got to know this woman again. At this moment, his heart was terrified, but also grateful, and even more joyful.

"Put us two fast horses now, and after we are ten miles away from Luoyang City, I will naturally let him go, otherwise, I will let this No. 1 red man in front of the emperor really become a 'red man'."

Zhao Yannian was still hesitating.

"Lord Wang, just do what she says, our family...... Our family still wants to serve the emperor for a few more years! Father-in-law Qi prayed in horror, and on the other hand, he had to straighten his official hat.

Zhao Yannian finally waved his hand and said, "Let them go!" ”

The guards withdrew, making way out. Hou Ziyu pulled Qi's father-in-law with one hand and Yang Yi with the other, and was about to withdraw.

At this time, a gray shadow suddenly slapped towards Hou Ziyu like lightning, Yang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and took it stiffly, the gray shadow was shocked back by Yang Yi's internal force, and took a few steps back, and the corner of Yang Yi's mouth also burst out of a bloodshot.

"Lord Wang, don't miss the opportunity!" It was the old man in the gray robe who was also Zhao Yannian's behind-the-scenes military advisor.

Hou Ziyu was ruthless, and cut a slight bloody wound on Gonggong Qi's neck, and Gonggong Qi's horse let out a heart-rending scream.

Zhao Yannian accentuated his tone again and repeated: "Let them go!" ”

Hou Ziyu and Yang Yi really left the Luoyang Palace.

But no one can predict what the future holds.

As long as we can be together at the moment, it's enough.

The rivers and lakes are difficult to walk.

Before embarking on this road, Hou Ziyu had made full mental preparations, but when she really embarked on this road, she found that survival was such a difficult thing. In the past half a month, the arrest of the imperial court under the command of the king of Luoyang has not slackened, as well as the bloody and cruel disputes and the vicious and unpredictable people's hearts in this river and lake, are enough to shake a person's determination. She was finally able to understand what Yang Yi said it was like to have trouble sleeping.

And Yang Yi, although his eyes have returned to life, the anxiety and anxiety that he shows from time to time in his demeanor have replaced the calmness when he first saw him. After five years of fading, his former ability to survive has also faded, and his former high spirits and former pleasures and hatreds do need time to be recovered.

On this day, the two entered Fumian Town and were already in Shaanxi. For this occasion, it is only possible to avoid the limelight only by going west, to the border and even outside the border.

Hou Ziyu and Yang Yi walked into a simple restaurant.
