The ministers, who had been patient for a long time, got up quickly and disappeared in a moment, and they could go back to sleep at this hour.

Why are they in such a hurry? Because Emperor Qin ordered them to leave quickly, and there were important matters to discuss with the Qian family father and son, and the ministers were too lazy to get involved. Also because the floor is cold, and there are no gaps, the workmanship is exquisite.

Seeing that the courtiers were leaving, Emperor Qin called back the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting, and it was obvious that what he said was extremely important.

When there were only three people left in the imperial study, Emperor Qin's face was no longer as domineering and unfathomable as before, and some were just the peace of ordinary middle-aged people.

I only heard him say: "Everyone is gone, Shibo and Brother Zhenjiang should get up." ”

The kneeling father and son got up and patted their clothes, and brought a chair from the side to sit side by side with Emperor Qin.

If outsiders see it, they will be shocked, this is the imperial study, one of the three is the emperor, one is the prime minister, and the last one is also a general, just sitting together at such a casual pace, as if ordinary people are meeting guests.

In fact, it is normal, the Ying family and the Qian family were cousins five hundred years ago, and now although the bloodline is broken, they are still firmly tied together. If it weren't for the protection of the Ying family, how could the Qian family not fall for five hundred years and have always been firmly in the number one position of the imperial official. The two families have an even more private relationship, almost indistinguishable from each other.

"Shibo, this matter is a little difficult to do now! These people in the rivers and lakes can ignore it, this white snake is a headache, and more importantly, what is the attitude of the forces behind it? Before Tianjimen released information, I can still assume that I don't know, if everyone knows this white snake today, it will not be able to move, and then the forces behind it will only be held accountable like a whirlwind and clouds. If it doesn't work, it will be a mess when it goes out of the mountain. ”

Qian Guilin stroked his beard and smiled: "Endless, things are far less difficult than you think, do you think that although the white snake has killed a lot of people, there are any red-blooded sergeants without Yi among them?"

"So far, not a single casualty has been heard. ”

"Don't you think it's strange, why so many people died, but the soldiers who were unrighteous were not hurt at all; second, although the white snake was crazy, it did not come out of the Lingwu Mountain Range, if it wanted to take revenge on the people of the world, wouldn't it be happy to go down the mountain and enter the city to kill. ”

"What does Shibo mean?" asked Ying Wuhen.

"The meaning is very clear, although the White Snake is angry, it is still sensible, it knows what it can and cannot do, it does not want to be our enemy, or the forces behind it are restricting it from being our enemy. Now what it is doing is only to avenge the Jade Frost White Snake. ”

"If that's the case, then what exactly does the Inviting Moon Territory behind it mean, and since you don't want to be our enemy, why don't you stop this turmoil?"

He may be waiting for an answer from us, for a reason why he hurt others. And you're up to you to do that, because they might have other requirements. ”

Ying Wuhen thought for a moment and said: "That demon moon is weird, and it can only be entered by civilians or peerless masters, if I go, I'm afraid that I will have a life to enter and not to get out!"

"That's the point, I guess they're just waiting for someone to get in, and there's that guy right now. ”

"Who?"

"The predecessor of the Ying family, isn't he in the empire? And I really can't think of anyone else waiting for him at this time. ”

"Shibo, Brother Zhenjiang, let me think about it, you guys go back first"

"Long live my emperor, long live" The two of them pretended to shout, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, several people are still monarchs and ministers. Then put the chair back in place and leave.

Ying Wuhen thought for a moment and whispered "Shadow"

Then a person came out from behind the screen, dressed in black, with black pants and a black scarf, really like a shadow. And the screen is transparent, I don't know where this person came from.

The person who came knelt down, and Ying Wuhen said again: "I'm going out for a while, you are watching here." ”

The person who came nodded, and then took off his scarf and trousers, and his coat was exactly the same as Ying Wuhen, whether it was appearance, height, or even bones, they were all carved out of a mold.

He sat on the dragon chair in the middle, but Ying Wuhen hid behind the screen with his night suit.

"Someone, ready to eat. The shadow gives orders like an endless face, and his face is full of indifference, which belongs to the ruthlessness of the emperor, which makes people dare not speculate, and the main thing is that the voice is not bad at all.

A group of eunuchs and palace maids poured in to serve.

And Ying Wuhen took advantage of this gap to float away, he was already a martial artist and his strength was good.

All the way forward, because he was very familiar with the security of the palace, the guards who were hiding in the many patrols went straight to the back garden. Seeing that no one around had knocked regularly on a huge rockery, the boulder cracked and there was a stone step inside, and when I saw the darkness inside, I knew that this was a secret passage and it was extremely long.

Ying Hentai walked into the dark passage, and the boulder closed silently without leaving a trace, while the shadow was eating and drinking in the imperial study, and no one knew that Emperor Qin had left the palace.

It wasn't until an hour later that Ying Hentai walked out of the dark passage, and the exit was actually deep in the mountains. Then he walked for half an hour before he came to a small city nearby and walked into a small inn.

There was a knock on the door, and Ying Wuhen stood outside the door, waiting for the reply of the people in the house.

"The door is unlocked and I come in. A deep baritro sounded

Ying Hentai pushed the door into it, and the room was extremely simple, with only a wooden bed, a dresser, and a stool, and not even a decent table.

A man sits on a stool and looks out the window at the mountain view.

Ying Wuwu stood in one place and didn't dare to sit down, although this man looked about the same age as him, his rank was ridiculously high, he was his uncle.

"You're here?" the simple question still didn't turn.

"Uncle!" Ying Hentai bent down and saluted respectfully.

"What are you doing here?"

Ying Wuhen knows the character of his master, he is not a taciturn person, if he is still very talkative to acquaintances, but he is a junior, and his strength is not good, he has his own vision.

"Uncle, this time the White Snake matter is in a uproar, involving many sects, and there are unknown forces secretly stirring it up, if it is not properly handled, I am afraid that it will endanger the status of our clan. ”

"You're out of line?"

"There is naturally a way, but Demon Yue's attitude is too incomprehensible, I don't dare to make a decision easily for fear of involving the family, so I can only come to ask for help after thinking about it again and again!"

"I know, I'll go to the Demon Moon Forest in the next few days to find out their attitude. "If there is nothing else to do, you can go back, after all, the shadow is just a shadow and cannot replace your place, and the empire still needs you." ”

After not hearing the movement of Ying Wu's departure for a long time, he finally turned around.

This is an extremely ordinary man, there is nothing special about him, he belongs to the person who remembers the last moment and can't find the next moment when he blends into the sea of people. Only Ying Wuhen knows his identity and power, so he naturally doesn't dare to underestimate him.

"What else do you have to do, just tell me!"

"Uncle, I want to ask, are my father and mother okay?"

Hearing his words, the man visibly softened his attitude, knowing that he had left the family and his parents since he was a child. He said softly: "Child, your parents are fine, you don't have to worry, you hold on for a while, and when your task is completed, you will naturally be able to return to the clan to meet them, and then you will be rewarded and bathe in the holy pool." ”

He also sighed when he heard that his parents were okay, thirty years later, he couldn't remember what they looked like, and there was only one vague impression in his mind. However, the temptation of the holy pond is still great, and you can know the effect by looking at the appearance of your uncle, and I believe that your parents are the same.

It's just that how long it will last, he doesn't know how long it will take, he can only ask.

"Wait until your heir is established! ”

Ying said goodbye to his uncle endlessly, and then returned the same way, with a lot of thoughts along the way.

Although he is the emperor of a country, it does not mean that the scenery is infinite, he is just a puppet, and it is the family behind him who really calls the shots. All he could deal with was trivial things that didn't hurt or itch, and he didn't even have the money to return to Lin Quan, which was why he had such an attitude when he was in the palace before, because he couldn't afford to mess with his family partner.

"Father and mother, I don't know if you still remember what I look like?" Ying Hentai muttered to himself, and it was endless sentimentality. A child of four or five years old has to leave the arms of his parents, face countless strangers, and learn to disguise and wear a mask to be controlled. There is no one to talk about loneliness, there is no object to cry about when the heart is sad, and the loneliness behind this brilliance can only be truly known by those who have experienced it.

'Is this kind of family really good?' the thought that had come up so many times came to his mind again. "Let's go back, what the master said is right, there is still a lack of one person in the court, just one person. ”

......

The shadow in the imperial study is reviewing the folds, and there are only a few words: 'Lone knows.' 'What can he do with the world's major events that can't even be controlled by the endless, it's just a show.

Suddenly hearing an unusual sound, he put down his pen and said loudly: "The hour is not early, you wait, you have to rest for a while." ”

The eunuchs and maids who served left and walked in when they brought the door.

The shadow stepped down from the dragon chair, took the night suit that Ying Wuhen took off and was about to leave, but was stopped by him, "Shadow, wait, lonely...... I have something to ask you. ”

The shadow stopped and turned around, making Ying Wuhen feel like he was looking in a mirror.

"Your Majesty...... What's the matter with you?" Shadow heard the change that Ying Hentai claimed to have, and also made adjustments.

"You better use your original voice, there are no outsiders at this moment, and there is no need to disguise. ”

"A shadow is a shadow, I have to follow in your footsteps and be exactly like you, even if it's just a voice, this is my mission, and it's the meaning of my existence. ”

"Alas......" Ying sighed endlessly, not knowing whether it was the old-fashioned boredom of the sigh shadow, or something else.

After that, he looked at the shadow and didn't speak, as if he was looking at himself.

After a full pillar of incense, he spoke: "I have something to ask you today, I hope you will tell the truth, of course, this is not an order, you can choose not to say it." ”
