Chapter Ninety-Two: Koi Trickery
At night, Yin Sheng raised his head from a large stack of folds, looked at the man with his hands on his cheeks as cold as moonlight, and twisted his eyebrows and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother Fox, it's late." Yin Sheng folded his hands, put his head on his hands, and said to Feidian.
"Huh?" Feidian looked up at the window, the moonlight was heavy, and sure enough, it was already late.
"Then you go back to the palace." After Feidian finished speaking, he continued to hold his cheeks and look at the scroll in his hand.
"I said......" Yin Sheng leaned closer to Feidian's side, "I said Brother Fox, I just moved the imperial study to the Military Division's Mansion, anyway, I will be with you to discuss war or political affairs in the future." ”
"You might as well move the whole palace here." Feidian still didn't look at him, and said casually.
"Well, that's what I mean." Yin Sheng replied immediately.
Feidian raised his eyes, glanced at him lazily, and replied indifferently, "You'll kill me when you're done." ”
At the mention of Fu Wan, Yin Sheng was a little more serious and asked, "Brother Fox, I personally led the troops to fight, is it really good?" ”
"You want to go?"
"Of course!" Yin Sheng looked like he had been beaten with chicken blood, took the map in his hand, stood up excitedly and pointed to the Shu State and Wu Guo next door to Li State, and said, "When I finish fighting Yu State, I will destroy Shu Guo next, and then destroy Wu Guo later!" Brother fox, a man will live on horseback! ”
Feidian raised his head slightly to look at the young man, and during the evening meal, Yin Sheng pulled his collar a little apart, revealing the wheat-colored skin under the collarbone and the faintly visible scar.
This is a man who is destined to dominate the world, not a child who is trembling and living under threat. Whoever stands in his way will disappear.
Yin Jixuan is too.
Thinking of Yin Jixuan, Feidian was a little lonely. He always felt that Yin Jixuan was not like a bad person, and sometimes he even had the illusion that Yin Jixuan was forced to do this.
Otherwise, why did he give the soldiers and horses to Yin Sheng so easily? In fact...... He doesn't want to be an emperor either.
"You calm down first...... Feidian said, "Yu Guo's affairs, when do you plan to send troops?" ”
"I'll go after the arrangement."
"......" Feidian stretched out his hand and pinched his face, and said angrily, "What are you talking about, what is the 'aftermath'!" ”
"Hey......" Yin Sheng rubbed his face, "It's what happened later, I plan to make Feng Feng Ling the prime minister and act as the government when I leave Xuchang." ”
"Huh? Why isn't it over? ”
"Because ......" Yin Sheng immediately lowered his eyebrows, and it seemed difficult to speak.
"You suspect that the Necromancer's affair is actually behind him?"
"No, it won't!" Yin Sheng explained, "I can still trust Fu Wan's personality, but he just lost his son, and I'm afraid that he will ...... me In short, I don't want him to worry too much about politics for the time being. ”
"What about Yin Jixuan?" Feidian asked again, "It stands to reason that if you send troops, he should be the one who stays in power in the DPRK, won't you object to this arrangement?" ”
"Even if the Ruiwang Party opposes it, it won't make a big deal."
"Why?" Feidian asked with a frown.
"Because...... I guess it's going to be a long story......" Yin Sheng muttered, grabbed Feidian's wrist, and said, "Brother Fox, follow me back to the palace, I'll show you something, and tell you why my father would rather pass the throne to the twelve-year-old than to Yin Jixuan." ”
Feidian raised his eyebrows, could it be that it wasn't just because Yin Sheng's father wanted to pass on the throne to his bloodline?
……
For so long, Feidian still hadn't figured out the layout of the palace, and he didn't know what kind of hall Yin Sheng had brought him to, but he was slightly surprised by the golden pond in front of the palace - it was covered with large jade white water lilies, but at the end of this summer, there was no sign of ruin.
"The lotus flowers here will not wither." Yin Sheng saw that Feidian's eyes had been looking at the lotus flower, so he explained, "It was the emperor's grandfather who made him move over the South Island Ice Pool for his favorite concubine, and it will always be in full bloom." ”
"Your imperial grandfather?"
"Well," Yin Sheng naturally took Feidian's hand and led him towards the hall, not noticing Feidian's crimson face for a moment, and said to himself, "Do you remember that Yan Wushuang?" ”
Feidian suddenly came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Remember, you also said that she went to the palace to steal a painting for Yin Jixuan. ”
The hall was quiet, the moonlight was also very soft, and the lights were as bright as torches, shining on a striking white cloth on the wall in front of the hall.
Yin Sheng turned around and closed the door of the hall, walked to the white cloth and uncovered the white cloth, and a huge koi picture appeared behind.
The koi fish account for more than half of the picture, and they are surrounded by white lotuses like in the pond outside. Reflecting the lights, the sparkling water on it is like a dream, as if it were real.
"This is ......" Yin Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the picture, and was about to say something, but Feidian grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the painting.
"Don't touch it!" Feidian frowned and said nervously.
"What's wrong?" Yin Sheng was puzzled.
"The smell of resentment...... Flying Lightning muttered, "Turi sealed the goblins?" ”
"Well," Yin Sheng nodded, "Brother Fox is so smart, inside is our Li Kingdom's Heavenly Master Feng Boyang, that is, Feng Ling's father, a goblin sealed." ”
"What does this goblin have to do with Yin Jixuan? Why did Yin want this painting? ”
"You really knew the crux of the problem right away, Brother Fox, you are too smart~" Yin Sheng happily leaned his face over, and Feidian hurriedly blocked it.
"Let's get down to business first." He said lightly.
Ay? First? Does that mean that after saying what is right, you can do things that are not right?
"Brother Fox, have you never heard anyone mention the south of the Li Kingdom these days?" Yin Sheng was nervous for a moment and asked.
"Indeed......" Feidian thought for a moment, "Why?" ”
"Because you can't beat it." Yin Sheng said, "Grandpa Huang is brave and good at fighting, and he led his troops to fight the Southern Barbarian Kingdom back then, but it also ended in defeat. ”
"Hmm...... South Side Elephant ......"
"That's not the point," Yin Sheng continued, "Grandpa Huang came back and brought a beautiful woman, that woman can sing and dance, she has a strange fragrance, and Grandpa Huang loves her very much." But she has a hobby of soaking in water for six hours a day......"
Feidian nodded, he had already guessed that this woman should be the goblin sealed in this painting.
"What's even stranger...... People began to die suddenly in the palace, and everyone who died had both eyes gouged out. ”
"Gouging out your eyes?"
"Yes, the emperor's health has also begun to deteriorate, and the Heavenly Master realized that there was something wrong in the imperial city, so he came to investigate, and after checking, he found out that this woman did it...... Outside, under the lotus pond, the eyes of the deceased were covered. ”
Feidian looked at the koi and didn't say anything.
"Our Li Kingdom has never been embarrassed by goblins and ghosts or anything, and the emperor's grandfather has also fought with Yin soldiers. But when the goblin hurt someone, it caused the anger of the people. But the imperial grandfather still doted on her very much, and did not believe in the words of the Heavenly Master at all, and sent someone to the ice pond to transplant the white lotus she loved and plant it here. ”
"White Lotus...... Eyeballs ......" Feidian muttered to himself, this disgusting is disgusting, but it seems to have some other meaning...... What is the unique formation?
"Then the woman became pregnant."
"The child is Yin Jixuan?" Feidian asked.
"Hmm." Yin Sheng replied, "The child was born, and the imperial grandfather died a few years later. In fact, the imperial grandfather always knew that the woman was a mad and murderous goblin without blinking, but he was reluctant to get rid of her. Before he died, the emperor's grandfather said to his father that the throne was given to him, but to keep the woman's life, he could not hurt Yin Jixuan. ”
"But as soon as your imperial grandfather dies, the ministers must immediately shout to kill this goblin."
"Well," Yin Sheng nodded, "Father Emperor is benevolent and filial, and he is not willing to disobey the Emperor's grandfather's last wishes, so he only lets the Heavenly Master seal this goblin and not hurt her life." No one is allowed to talk about Yin Jixuan's life experience. ”
"No wonder ......," Feidian suddenly realized, "No wonder most of the Yin Ji Xuan Party are young ministers, and all those who support you are old ministers, except for Feng Lingchen." It must be because the young ministers didn't know about it. ”
"Yes," Yin Sheng's eyes were full of appreciation, "talking to Brother Fox is to save trouble, and you can guess the other half when you say half." ”
"Compared to you, our fox demon clan is naturally smart." Feidian replied expressionlessly.
"I don't believe it, the big fox brother is very stupid," Yin Sheng raised the corner of his mouth, put his face to Feidian's ear, and slapped his hot breath on his face, when he saw that the roots of his ears were red, he was not satisfied, and continued to tease ambiguously, "Does this mean that we have a soul?" ”
Feidian took a step back, intending to say something to hide his embarrassment, and said, "You're stupid, your whole family is stupid!" ”
"I just said big brother fox, and you scolded my whole family......" Yin Sheng looked like he was being bullied again, lowered his head and covered his face and pretended to cry, "I was taken advantage of by you...... You're so annoying and bullying me......"
"Hey!" Feidian shook his head helplessly, "Okay, don't make trouble, the matter hasn't been finished yet, right?" Does Yin Jixuan know his background? ”
Yin Sheng put his hand down, straightened his face, and said, "At first, I thought he didn't know, but it wasn't until he ordered someone to steal this koi fish diagram that I knew that he had already mastered the truth." ”
"Hmm......" Feidian thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of something again, looked up and asked, "I remember the first time I asked you, you didn't want to tell me, why are you willing now?" ”
"Because I didn't realize that Brother Fox was so smart at the time." Yin Sheng replied as a matter of course.
"Tell the truth." Feidian said coldly.
"Okay...... Because at that time, I suspected that you were a fine work sent by Yin Jixuan. ”
"Then don't doubt it now?"
"Mm-hmm," Yin Sheng nodded violently, "Of course not, I didn't doubt it for a long time." ”
Feidian glanced at him, Yin Sheng still looked heartless, and he didn't know whether what he said was true or not.
But why would you want him to be false.
The reason why he would be expected to be genuinely willing to believe in himself is not because of "no doubt", but something else.
And what is this "other"?
Could it be that the answer he really wants is because he is also in love?
