This chapter is a bit longer than the average chapter, and because I don't expect more readers to click on this article at the beginning now, so the homepage has been updated in the few minutes since I was lazy...... For readers who will come back as soon as there is an update, this may be more comfortable.

————————————————This is the dividing line of broken cans——————————————————

Mei Changsu's tone was very low, and it reached Yan Que's ears moderately, and his gaze was firmly locked on his face, not letting go of every change in his expression.

But what was a little surprising was that Yan Que's face was calm, as if this sudden word did not bring him a trace of throbbing, and that kind of peace and openness almost made Mei Changsu think that all his speculations and judgments were completely wrong.

However, this feeling was only for a short moment, and he quickly confirmed that he was not wrong, because Yan Que raised his head and glanced at him.

The perennially hidden and lowered eyes were not as calm as his expression, and in the pupils, which were old but not cloudy, there were unusually strong and complex emotions. There is shock, there is despair, there is resentment, there is sorrow, but there is nothing but fear.

It can be said that Que should be afraid. Because what he was planning, no matter from which point of view, was a great rebellion, enough to destroy the Nine Clans, and such a heinous crime had obviously been held in the hands of the elegant scholar in front of him.

However, he didn't have fear, he just looked at Mei Changsu fixedly, his face was expressionless, only those eyes, tired, sad, and at the same time mixed with deep and irrepressible resentment.

That look made him look like a traveler who was about to reach the top of the mountain road after a difficult and dangerous trek, and suddenly found an insurmountable chasm in front of him, and said to him coldly: "Turn back, you can't get through." ”

Mei Changsu stood in front of him now, informing him of his failure. At this time, he had no time to think about the bloody consequences of failure, and there was only one thought in his mind for the time being.

Can't kill him. Even this time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to kill that man in the future.

At this time, Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui had already relieved themselves and ran over, looking at the two of them strangely.

"Yujin, do you have any quiet places, I have something to talk about with Ling Zun, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone." Mei Changsu turned his head sideways and asked calmly.

"Yes...... The painting building ...... in the back, "Yan Yujin is extremely smart, just looking at the expressions of the two, he has faintly noticed that something is wrong, "Please Brother Su come with me to ......"

Mei Changsu nodded and turned to Yan Que: "Master Hou, please." ”

Yan Que smiled miserably, raised his head and took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Sir, please." ”

The group walked silently, and even Xiao Jingrui didn't say a word very interestingly. When they arrived at the painting building, Mei Changsu and Yan Que went in and motioned for the two young people to stay outside the building. The innermost part of the painting building is a clean studio, the furniture is simple, except for the bookshelves on the wall, there is only a table, a few, two chairs, and a long couch by the window.

"Master Hou," and when the two of them sat down on the chairs, Mei Changsu said straight to the point, "Have you buried all the fire under the altar?" ”

The muscles in Yan Que's cheeks tensed and did not speak.

"Of course Master Hou can disown it, but it's not difficult to check, as long as I inform Meng Zhi, he will look through the entire altar from the inside out." Mei Changsu was speechless, and asked without relaxation, "I think, you asked the immortals to visit the Tao just to not attract attention and associate with the mage in charge of the festival, right?" Of course, these mages are all your comrades, or rather, you have pushed all of your own comrades into mages. Isn't that so? ”

Yan Que glanced at him and said coldly: "Guo Hui Yixiao, Mr. Su is so smart, he is really not afraid of losing his life?" ”

"The number of life expectancy is determined by heaven, so why worry too much about yourself." Mei Changsu looked back at him indifferently, "It's Master Hou...... Do you really think you can succeed? ”

"At least until you show up, everything is going very well. In the name of the drill, my mages have already buried all the fires without realizing it, and the fuses are in the sacrificial furnace. As long as the emperor burns incense to worship the heavens on that day, lights the tin foil and throws it into the sacrificial furnace, the entire altar will detonate. ”

"Sure enough," Mei Changsu sighed, "when the emperor burns incense, although all the princes and ministers are kneeling nine feet away from the stage and can be spared, the queen must be accompanied on the altar...... Although you have been out of harmony for many years, you still care about a little brother and sister affection, so you can find a way to make her unable to participate in the ceremony, right? ”

"That's right," Yan Que said calmly, "although she is guilty, she is my sister after all, and I don't want her to be crushed...... Is it because of her strange illness that Mr. Su found me? ”

"Not really. In addition to the strangeness of the queen's illness, a sentence said by Yujin also made me suspicious. ”

"Yujin?"

"That night, he sent me a few baskets of Lingnan citrus, saying that it was shipped by the official ship, which was very popular, because you went to book it, so Yanfu got it." Mei Changsu glanced over, his eyes sharp as knives, "A person like you, who asks for immortals, doesn't ask about family affairs, and doesn't even spend time with his family on Chinese New Year's Eve, will he go out of his way to order a few baskets of oranges in order to prepare fresh fruits for the New Year?" You just use this as an excuse to determine the date of arrival of the official ship, so that your fire yao can enter Beijing at the same time as the fire yao of the household department, once someone notices the abnormality, you can take advantage of the situation to index the line to the private artillery workshop, as long as the time coincides, it is naturally difficult to be recognized. ”

"It's a pity that you still saw through it." Yan Que said with a sneer, "Mr. Su is so talented, no wonder everyone wants to snatch you." ”

Mei Changsu didn't pay attention to his sarcasm, and still asked quietly: "What does the Hou Ye want to do if he is willing to take the risk of exterminating the clan and plot to assassinate the emperor?" ”

Yan Que looked at him for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud: "I don't want to do anything else, I just want him to die." Assassinating the Emperor is my ultimate goal. Because he really deserves to die, I don't care what goes against the sky, what goes against the sky, what goes against the grain, I can do anything, as long as I can kill him. ”

Mei Changsu's eyes looked ahead, and he said in a low voice: "For Concubine Chen?" ”

Yan Que's whole body was shocked, Huo Ran stopped laughing, and turned his head to look at him: "You...... Actually know Concubine Chen? ”

"It's not very old, I know what's strange. At that time, the emperor's eldest son, King Qi, was convicted and died, and his biological mother, Concubine Chen, also committed suicide in the palace, although no one mentions them now, but after all, it has only been twelve years......"

"Twelve years ......" Yan Que's smile was extremely sad, and his eyes with tears burned like fire, "It's long enough, who else remembers her now besides me......"

Mei Changsu was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Since the Hou Ye is so affectionate to her, why did he watch her enter the palace in the first place?" ”

"Why?" Yan Que gritted his teeth, "Just because that person is the emperor." It was the emperor who fought to the death to help him ascend to the throne. When we studied together, practiced martial arts and literature together, and leveled the crisis of Daliang together, we were still friends, but once he became the emperor, there were only two words in the world. There are three of us...... How many times have they made vows together, to share prosperity and prosperity with adversity, and to never lose life and death support, but he never fulfilled any of them in the end. In the second year of his ascension to the throne, he took away Le Yao, although he knew that we had promised each other, he did not hesitate to do it. Brother Lin persuaded me to endure it, and I seemed to be able to endure it, when Jing Yu was born and Le Yao was named Concubine Chen, I even felt that I could let go completely, as long as he was good to her...... But the result? Jing Yu is dead, Le Yao is dead, and Brother Lian Lin ...... He can also be ruthless and uprooted, if I hadn't been disheartened and fled away from Hongchen, he wouldn't care about adding another life to me...... Such a cold emperor, do you think he deserves to die? ”

"So you've been planning for years, just trying to kill him," Mei Changsu stared at Yan Que's somewhat old eyes, "But what about after you kill him?" The emperor on the altar was wiped out, leaving a chaotic situation, the prince and the king of Yu fought infighting, which will lead to instability in the government and the border, who will suffer in the end, and who will benefit? The stigma on those people you value is still branded on them, there is no possibility of Zhaoxue, King Qi is still a rebel, the Lin family is still a traitor, Concubine Chen is still alone, no brand, no position, no tomb! You turned the country upside down, and in the end you just killed one person! ”

Mei Changsu came to help the sick, firstly, because the time was indeed too urgent, and secondly, it was also to protect Yanhou, at this time, he scolded sharply, and his heart gradually moved his true anger, his voice became more and more excited, and a shallow flush swelled up on his face, "Master Yanhou, do you think you are taking revenge?" No, the real revenge is not like you, you are just venting your anger, and you will take more people into it in order to breathe a sigh. Is the Hanging Mirror Division designed to be a vegetarian? The emperor was assassinated, how could they not pursue it with all their might? Since I can find you beforehand, they can find you afterwards! You may think that it's okay to be bored and die, but how innocent is Yujin to be affected by you? Even if he is not born to your beloved, he is still your biological son, and it is okay without your care and love since he was a child, so young to be killed because you are guilty of great rebellion, how can you bear this heart? You keep saying that the emperor is cold-hearted, how much more affectionate are you than him? ”

His words were as strict as piercing his skin, Yan Que's lips couldn't help but tremble violently, he reached out to cover his eyes, and muttered, "I know I'm sorry Yujin...... He was unfortunate enough to be my son in this life...... Maybe it's his life......"

Mei Changsu sneered: "You have no hope of success now, if you still feel half guilty about Yujin, why don't you turn back as soon as possible?" ”

"Turn back?" Yan Que smiled miserably, "The arrow has been wound, how can I turn back?" ”

"The ritual hasn't started yet, and the emperor's fire paper hasn't been thrown into the sacrificial furnace, why can't you turn back?" Mei Changsu's eyes were calm, and his face was solemn, "How you buried the fire in it, you can take it out, and then transport it to the vicinity of the private artillery workshop, and I will send someone to take over." ”

Yan Que looked up at him, his eyes were full of surprise, "What do you mean by that?" Why are you wading through this muddy water? ”

"Because I am serving the King of Honor, you have committed the crime of treason, and the queen will not be implicated. Turning big things into small things is the best choice. Mei Changsu said lightly, "If I didn't want to give you the aftermath, why bother to go to your quiet room to have a secret conversation, and just go directly to the Hanging Mirror Division to report it?" ”

"You ......" Yan Que's eyes flashed, and he looked at this weak scholar suspiciously for a long time, he didn't know what came to mind in his mind, and his expression gradually changed from excitement to coldness, "Of course you want to let me go, but I said ugly things in front, even if you open the net this time, even if you hold the handle of me in your hand, I will never serve your lord." ”

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "I don't plan to let you work for King Yu, as long as the Hou Ye continues to ask for immortals to visit the Tao alive." The affairs of the imperial court, please wait and see. ”

Yan Que looked at him with unbelievable eyes, shook his head and said: "There is no kindness in the world for no reason, what is your intention in letting me go but not trying to reciprocate?" ”

Mei Changsu's eyes were gloomy, and a somewhat desolate smile appeared on his face: "Hou Ye does not forget Concubine Chen, it is for affection, Lin Shuai, and righteousness, there are too few people in this world who still have affection in their hearts, can they save one...... I only hope that the Hou Ye will remember my kind words and persuade me today, and don't act rashly again. ”

Yan Que stared at him deeply for a long time, took a long breath, and laughed loudly: "Okay! Since Mr. Su has such courage at a young age, I will no longer speculate. I will find a way to remove the fire under the altar, but the festival is approaching, and the defense is also strict, if I unfortunately miss and show my whereabouts, I hope that Mr. Nian will save his life for the sake of interacting with Xiao'er. ”

Mei Chang Su Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: "Hou Ye Yan and the commander of Meng Da are not without old friends, this year is a good day, but I am afraid that he has no intention of seriously arresting people, so as long as Hou Ye is cautious, it should be no big problem." ”

"Then Mr. Cheng's good words." Yan Que bowed his hand and smiled slightly, but he had completely regained his composure. After such a thrilling conversation about life and death, he abruptly terminated the plan he had been planning for many years, but he was able to adjust his mood so quickly, and he was stable as usual in a short period of time, which shows that he is indeed very courageous, and he can't help but praise Mei Changsu in his heart.

That's it, and any more is redundant. The two got up together with a tacit understanding and walked out of the painting building. As soon as the door opened, Yan Yujin rushed over and shouted, "Dad, Brother Su, ...... you" When he asked this, he suddenly felt that he didn't know how to ask, and he stopped halfway.

"I have already told Lord Lingzun that after the ancestor sacrifice on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, your father and son will celebrate the New Year together." Mei Changsu smiled, "As for Feiliu, I have to trouble you to find another time to take him to play." ”

Yan Yujin looked at this, and then looked at that, knowing that the content of the secret conversation in the painting building would certainly not be so ridiculous, but he was a smart and wise person under the laughter, and he was only stunned for a moment, then pressed the full of doubts, showed a bright smile, and nodded in response: "Okay!" ”

Mei Changsu also smiled and looked left and right, "What about Jing Rui?" ”

"His Zhuo family's father and mother will be here tonight, and he must go to greet him, so I asked him to go back."

"Zhuo Dingfeng has arrived...... Mei Changsu frowned slightly, "Do they come every year?" ”

"Biennial. Sometimes they come for several years in a row, because Uncle Xie is in an important position and can't leave the royal capital without permission, so he has to come to the Zhuo family to be more diligent. ”

"Oh." Mei Changsu bowed slightly, feeling that Yan Que's gaze was exploring him, but he ignored it and looked at the sky from afar.

In the evening, the twilight clouds are four, and the afterglow is gone. This long day is finally coming to an end, I wonder if there will be any more unexpected waves tomorrow?

"Yujin, go and call Mr. Su's sedan chair into the second door, it will be windy at night, and it is better to take a few steps less." Yan Que calmly instructed his son, and after he received the order and turned around, Fang turned his gaze back to Mei Changsu's body, and asked in a deep voice: "I thought about it again just now, Mr. is guilty of me this time, I'm afraid it doesn't mean King Yu, right?" ”

"King Yu doesn't know at all." Mei Changsu replied frankly, "Actually, before I came to see Lord Hou, I wasn't very sure about it. ”

Yan Que closed his eyes tightly and sighed: "How can the king of Yu be able to get such a character as Mr. I'm afraid that the world in the future will already be his......"

Mei Changsu glanced at him, "After all, the Hou Ye and the queen are brothers and sisters, and the king of Yu has won the country, so what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?" Yan Que's pale temples flickered in the dark light of the night, and his shaved cheeks seemed to be smeared with a layer of frost, "They are all ordinary mean and vicious, ordinary cold and stone hearts, there is no difference between one and the other." Now I have lost my face, lost my confidant, and survived to this day, but I am unable to pay them justice. Now that this life has fallen so far, do you still care who wins the world? ”

Mei Changsu's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, "Since Master Hou knows that I am the person who is honored as the king, isn't there anything wrong with saying these words?" ”

"I have known these thoughts for a long time, but seeing that I am not involved in court politics, the queen ordered him to ignore me, so there is a situation where the two are not related to each other now." Yan Que smiled coldly, "With Mr. Zhuyu's talent, it is easy to destroy me, if you want to control me and control me for the king of honor, don't think about it." ”

"Master Hou is too careful, Su just asked casually." Mei Changsu's complexion was pale and his expression was calm, "As long as Hou Ye does not make any changes in the future, Su will never use this matter to threaten and disturb him again." As for King Yu's side, he has long had the luxury of being able to get the help of the Hou Ye. ”

Yan Que stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes were far-reaching, and he didn't know whether Mei Changsu believed this assurance, whether he believed it or not. But until Yan Yujin called Su Zhe's warm sedan chair, he didn't say a word, just stood on the cold dew and frost steps with his head up, silent.

Only at the moment when the sedan body swayed lightly and started, Mei Changsu heard a long sigh from the former hero.

The sigh is faint and far away, as if he has sighed to the other side of time full of nostalgia.
