Chapter 194: Starry Night Banquet Cheng Wangfu (5)
Downstairs from the star-picking building, several spectators were immersed in amazement and had not yet come back to their senses, Nie Peixiao had climbed to the top of the building and jumped into the open-air corridor on the tenth floor, and then turned inside and walked down the spiral staircase.
Looking at the fifth layer again, Shen Yujing got up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and bent down to pick up another thing. Then, he jumped from the five-story building by the railing, landed lightly like a cloud and a moon, walked calmly in front of the Heavenly Emperor, knelt down and saluted: "Weichen's sin deserves death, so that the saint is frightened." ”
Emperor Tianzhu's face sank like water and he didn't reply immediately, slowly looked at the dagger he was holding in his hand, and said with a smile: "In order to win a promise, you can be regarded as risking your life." ”
Shen Yu buried his head lower when he heard this, and said: "His Royal Highness King Cheng is a gentleman and benevolent, and he didn't take away the dagger when Weichen fell from the building, otherwise it would have been out of Weichen's hands......" He paused, and said again in a deep voice: "This time, Weichen admits defeat." ”
Izuku couldn't see Shen Yu's expression at this time, and he could only judge his mood by his figure and tone. Although he is kneeling, his posture is still tall and handsome, and his strong backbone is difficult to hide; His tone was calm and sonorous, and there was no panic or complaint, not even a trace of fear.
But Izumi himself felt afraid, not only afraid that Shen Yu would take a dangerous move to save himself, but also afraid that he would almost open his mouth to let Zhuying save people......
The more she thought about it, the more she was in a cold sweat, and Izuku felt that her hands hidden in her sleeves were still trembling, and her heart was difficult to calm down, almost jumping out of her throat.
At this moment, Nie Peixiao also came out of the Star Picking Tower, walked straight to the Heavenly Emperor and Exhume, and also knelt down to ask for sin: "Let the imperial brother be frightened, and the younger brother will accept the guilt." ”
Emperor Tianzhu showed a few smiles and said, "Jing Duo came just in time, Shen Yu is praising you for your gentleman's benevolence and righteousness, saying that you didn't take advantage of the danger of others to snatch the dagger. ”
Nie Peixiao laughed dryly, and solemnly replied: "Actually, General Shen is also a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and when his brother saw him fall from the building, he had the intention to pull him, he could actually use his strength to climb up, but he was worried that his brother would not be able to stop the downward trend, so he would rather hang in the air than borrow strength." ”
It turns out that there is this inside story! When Izumi heard this, he felt even more alarmed, but the Emperor of Heaven snorted coldly: "If Shen Yu dares to use your strength to climb back to the top of the building, you will fall from the building...... Even if he survives, I will surely pay for his life. ”
This was said seriously, and Nie Peixiao immediately played a round: "Look at what you said, isn't this a false alarm, and General Shen has known his brother for many years, he is definitely not this kind of person." ”
Emperor Tianzhu still didn't let go, and said: "Next time there is such a competition, I still listened to Cen Jiang's suggestion and tied the rope." ”
Nie Peixiao laughed: "There will be no next time, when you meet an opponent like General Shen, it is estimated that this will be the only time in this life." The younger brother regretted that he was on the roof of the building, and he couldn't see the whole process of General Shen's self-rescue, but he was not as good as the imperial brother and Mrs. Zhuxiu. ”
"Wind and cool words!" Emperor Tianzhu reprimanded, with a bit of intimacy.
Nie Peixiao saw that Shen Yu was still kneeling without saying a word, and then remembered what Emperor Fang had promised, so he cautiously tested: "Brother Huang, does tonight's competition count as General Shen's victory?" ”
Emperor Heaven's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of anger flashed on his face. He turned to look at the incense burner on the table, the pillar of incense had already burned to the end when Shen Yu fell from the building to save himself, and only a fine incense ash was left.
Emperor Tianzhu said lightly: "The hour has passed. ”
A look of disappointment appeared on Nie Peixiao's face, he didn't expect this to be the end. He thought that either he would win or Shen Yu would win, and someone would always be able to plead for Shen Yu......
Shen Yu seemed very calm, still kneeling and waiting for the hair to fall, and his voice did not fluctuate at all: "Weichen disturbed the holy car and was willing to accept the guilt." ”
"It's the guilt." The Heavenly Emperor meant something.
Among the four, only Izumi didn't know the inside story, and at this moment he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. Guilty? Shen Yu almost lost his life, why should he still accept the guilt? Besides, he is a person who has contributed to the Jiang Di Rebellion!
Izuxiu only felt that the emperor was unpredictable, and wanted to open his mouth to ask for mercy for Shen Yu, so he pretended to be calm and got up from his seat and said with a smile: "Holy Lord, General Shen is my Yun clan's aunt, if you don't reward it, forget it, why do you still have to punish it?" ”
"Oh? Madame still doesn't know? Emperor Tianzhu raised his eyebrows, his charming face flashed with a sinister smile, sat down on the chair again, and said, "Shen Yu ...... privately"
Before the word "leaving Beijing" was spoken, a delicate female voice was heard shouting: "Huh? This pillar of incense is not burned yet! "It's the light heart that speaks.
In normal times, Izuku would definitely reprimand the indifferent transgression, but when I heard her say this at this moment, I was very surprised, and hurriedly looked at the incense burner. I saw a light hand stretched out, slowly brushing away the incense ash covered in the layers of incense burner, and sure enough, a small piece of incense was poured into the incense burner, and it was really still sparkling!
This is really rare, it seems that even Cangtian is helping Shen Yu. Emperor Tianzhu naturally saw this scene, and his thin lips pursed without saying a word.
Nie Peixiao hurriedly walked to the front of the case for verification, and said happily: "Brother Huang! This time General Shen won, right? ”
"You don't joke." Emperor Tianzhu picked up a finger of incense ash, grinded it carefully in two fingertips, and then looked at Shen Yu and said, "You can calm down first." ”
"Thank you!" Shen Yu finally got up from the ground, but walked in front of Chu Xiu in a roundabout way, and slowly handed out the dagger he was holding in his palm: "Return to Zhao when you are done." Four words, weighing more than a thousand catties, are the completeness he bought with his life.
Izumi was watching the battle downstairs, and he didn't know why Shen Yu had fallen downstairs, let alone the surging emotions hidden in his calm tone at the moment. She stretched out her wrist and slowly took the cold thing, almost slipping her fingers and couldn't hold it: "Thank you, General." ”
Nie Peixiao saw the scene of the two of them in her eyes, and finally realized what was wrong. Others didn't know why Shen Yu stumbled and fell downstairs, but he could see it clearly on the top of the building - because of the dagger. He originally thought that Shen Yu wanted to win too much, and he wanted to seek this opportunity to be exonerated too much, so he would risk his life to save the dagger.
But the undercurrent between Shen Yu and Izuxiu in front of him is so obvious, especially Shen Yu, after experiencing the moment of falling from the building, his calm is too abnormal, this is obviously not the reaction that ordinary people should have, and there is only one reason to explain it - disguise.
Shen Yu was pretending to be calm, so Xiu was pretending to be indifferent, but the dodge meaning flowing from her eyes was so obvious, and she couldn't put down the love she showed for the dagger...... It all means that this dagger has a story, and Shen Yu also knows the story.
A few thoughts flashed through Nie Peixiao's mind, and she couldn't help but sink in her heart and become gloomy. Shen Yu had also returned to his original position at this moment, waiting for the Heavenly Emperor to open his mouth. The latter laughed and said, "I know what you are asking for...... Since Shen Yu has snatched this dagger, I will naturally fulfill my promise. ”
Emperor Tianzhu pondered for a moment and continued: "Shen Yu has a merit in going to Jiangdi to quell the chaos this time, and the merits and demerits are commensurate, and I will not be held accountable for his unauthorized departure from Beijing. ”
Leaving Beijing without permission? Why did Shen Yu leave Beijing without permission? I don't know why, I forgot for a while that I had been lying on the bed for half a year, and I missed many things during this time. She originally wanted to ask the truth, but after thinking about it, since the Emperor of Heaven had already issued a statement "not to be investigated", it was not interesting for her to ask again, in short, the matter had passed, and there was no danger.
Xiu Wu thought about it on this side, and Nie Peixiao on the other side was also bitter, plus Shen Yu's heart was surging and fluctuating, none of these three people was normal at the moment.
Emperor Tianzhu himself is a person who has come over, and he also knows that the triangular relationship is the most headache, seeing that Nie Peixiao did not ask for a marriage for Yun Cheng, he secretly said that this ninth brother made a wedding dress for others. But if you think about it, it's also a good thing that Nie Peixiao has someone who values him so much.
This night banquet has come to an end, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, obviously this time it is the test given to Shen Yu by the Emperor of God, and Shen Yu has also passed the test. As for whether Emperor Tianzhu wanted Shen Yu to fall to his death? Or will the order be given to save people at a critical moment?
No one ever knows again.
Emperor Tianzhu raised his head and looked at the sky at the right time: "It's not early tonight, it's all gone." ”
He wanted to get up as he spoke, but unexpectedly, the crisp voice sounded again at this time: "Holy one! You haven't rewarded General Shen yet! ”
Emperor Tianzhu was puzzled when he heard this, and then he saw that it was the personal servant girl beside Xiu who spoke, and he was not angry, so he just didn't hear it.
"Lighthearted!" Izumi was also startled when she suddenly said this.
Nie Peixiao was afraid that the Emperor of Heaven would be annoyed again, and he didn't care about his status, so he hurriedly put down his body and explained lightly: "Don't you know, General Shen made a mistake a few days ago, and tonight he grabbed the lottery, and the Holy Lord allowed him to offset his merits." ”
Hearing this, he said "Huh": "The slave is just wondering about this." Fang Cai Sheng obviously said, 'Shen Yu went to Jiangdi this time to quell the chaos, and the merits and demerits are offset, and I will not be held accountable for his unauthorized departure from Beijing'. Listening to the meaning of this, shouldn't it be said that General Shen has meritorious service in quelling the chaos, and only then has the merit offset the demerits? What does that have to do with the lottery head he grabbed the dagger tonight? The reward of the prize has not yet been given! ”
As soon as these words came out, Nie Peixiao was immediately blocked and had nothing to say. This little maid actually seized the loophole in the words of the Son of Heaven, but she was right. Brother Fang Cai did say that Shen Yu "has merit in quelling the chaos, and the merit is offset by the demerits", which has nothing to do with the reward and punishment of winning the dagger tonight......
Nie Peixiao and Izuku were both helpless. When Emperor Tianzhu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Xiu with an unpredictable expression: "Even Madame's maidservant is so sharp-toothed...... Could it have been designed by Madame in advance? The Yun family wants to seek high-ranking officials for his uncle? ”
Out of Xiu's heart was shocked, and was about to get up to reply, only to see a faint "plop" kneeling on the ground, raising his eyes to look at Emperor Tianzhu: "Slave and maid, I still have something to say." ”
Emperor Tianzhu turned to look at her and coldly spit out the word "say".
The indifference is worthy of being the big girl taught by Yun Ci, and at this moment, there is no fear in the face of the oppressive momentum of the Emperor of Heaven, and the words are clear and fluent: "The Holy Lord, you just said 'The Yun family wants to seek high-ranking officials for my uncle', this sentence really wronged my wife." ”
"Oh?" Emperor Tianzhu frowned impatiently, thinking that this little slave wanted to excuse Xiu.
Unexpectedly, with a calm expression, Ying Ying replied: "When General Shen was hanging in the air just now, it was you who said it yourself, 'If Shen Yuruo doesn't even have the ability to save himself, why do I use him?' Why do you want to allow him to be a high-ranking official? Isn't this your own promise to General Shen to be a high-ranking official? So what's the matter with the Yun family? ”
