Chapter Seventy-Eight: Revenge
When the first meter of sunlight appeared in the morning, Zuo Chen was wearing a moon-white dress and sitting expressionlessly by the lotus pond, Rui Yan in the room had not woken up, only he sat alone and stared at the lotus with an expressionless face, watching the lotus flower be sparsely beaten by the ruthless drizzle.
The morning pool is covered with hazy mist, the clear pool surface looms like a fairyland, and there is no sunrise in the morning, the weather in the mountains is always like this, rain and fog come and go.
Now he doesn't want any high-ranking officials to be prominent in the government and the opposition, he just wants to stay away from all troubles quietly, and find a beautiful place to live in seclusion like his master.
Can't let Rui Yan find him, the master is so old, he has lost his vitality and become stupid, if he reminds him of what happened three years ago, I'm afraid he will really go away in anger. What did he forget, what did he forget, why did he always feel this way naturally, why did his heart hurt even when he thought about it, even if it was blank?
If the old emperor didn't find him, it would be fine if it could still pretend to be like a soft egg who didn't know anything, even if he was chased by his father every day, he could pretend not to know anything, drinking flower wine in several shops on Changle Street alone, and following the group of silly boys he didn't look down on at all, talking about which kiln sister was more beautiful and which Oiran was the most high.
He has long had no backbone that a literati should have, and it would be nice if there was still a bottle of wine by his side now, and it would be great if there was someone who was really with him.
"What are you doing, you get up early in the morning, aren't you afraid of catching a cold when it's so cold?" Rui Yan pushed open the door of the house, his thick and handsome sword eyebrows were raised, and with a wrinkling smile on the corner of his mouth, he came to his side and sat down as he spoke.
Unlike Rui Yan, Zuo Chen, who was refreshed, glanced at him coldly, lowered his head and looked at the tips of his shoes that were wet by the pool water, a little cold and a little astringent.
"Are you going to climb Mount Tarzan today? I remember what you said. Zuo Chen raised his head, only to find that he was wearing a crescent white shirt like him, and on the smooth brocade was a captivating peony embroidered with gold thread, just like his smile.
Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom.
There is really no more exaggeration to describe him, no less color, graceful and luxurious, and it is really not his lonely green lotus that can be Chen Deshang.
"This peony is lined with your smile, it is really beautiful." Zuo Chen looked at his somewhat childish but evil face, raised his head and looked at Shu Yun in the sky, and said something indifferently.
Rui Yan didn't have much interest before because of his extraordinarily warm words, but Zuo Chen suddenly came out with such a sentence that was not warm, which made Rui Yan's beautiful black phoenix eyes suddenly enlarge, and he turned his head to look at the faint Zuo Chen incredulously. After seeing his indifferent expression, he only became cold for a moment, but those crooked eyes were smiling.
The two of them sat quietly for a while, and without pulling Zuo Chen with their words, they got up and walked into the house, because the open stone door was not so dark inside, and there were plates of steaming meals on the delicate stone table, and they didn't have to think about it to know that it must have been sent by those personal guards of the Tang Gate.
The difficult thing is that there are a few dishes in these dishes that he loves to eat, sweet and sour crucian carp, in this deep mountain and old forest, I am afraid that he has not worked hard.
Zuo Chen turned his head thoughtfully and met Rui Yan's smiling face, although Zuo Chen was not laughing, but those who were familiar with him knew that the faint dimples on his cheeks showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.
"I heard that your uncle said that you like to eat this, so I asked them to bring one up, and eat it quickly with the heat, this is the chef I brought from the capital, and the taste can be better than your taste."
Rui Yan was embarrassed to avoid Zuo Chen's inquiring gaze, his white and white cheeks were dyed red, but his indifferent and cold expression added a lot of heroism to that gorgeous face, he flicked his long hem, sat on the stone chair elegantly, staggered his face and said to Zuo Chen lightly with chopsticks.
Zuo Chen naturally sat beside him and picked it up, his movements were not a little cramped, even a simple dish was pleasing to the eye.
After eating for a while, Zuo Chen suddenly found that there were words on the table of the stone table, and a dodge let the light shine smoothly on it, only to carefully find that there were more than that words, and the entire table was composed of pictures and words.
The small traces on it, neatly opened with red and black, the more you look at it, the more familiar it feels, and finally when you see a big Song character next to the sweet and sour crucian carp plate, you raised your head in surprise and looked at Ruiyan and said: "This is a military strategy map?" β
Rui Yan glanced at Zuo Chen with strange eyes, he really didn't understand why he was so surprised, he lazily raised his eyelids, looked at him, and then put his eyes on the dishes on the table, lazily snorted, and put a piece of bamboo shoots in his mouth.
Looking at his natural performance, Zuo Chen didn't show a fuss, just lowered his head and continued to eat, looking calm on the surface, but his heart was not as peaceful as it seemed.
It was the first time he had looked at his king from the point of view of his courtiers, or for the first time in such detail, and he could not remember very well when their relationship had changed. It's just that no matter what, he can't deny that he will be a good king, even if he is ruthless and iron-blooded, but he really thinks from the perspective of a country, and in some ways, he sees further and cares less than he does.
When he went back this time to put the mess in the capital, he could leave without worry, watching from afar as this man stood to a higher height step by step, and grew into a real monarch step by step.
What games don't play, he doesn't have so much energy to retaliate against anyone, whether it's that Yeluli or that Yeluli, from yesterday to today, it's not that he hasn't been angry, it's not that he hasn't hated, it's just that those are too naΓ―ve What he wants to do is just real indifference.
Zuo Chen thought about things by himself, and sent food to his mouth without a match, not noticing that Rui Yan had cast his gaze at him with displeasure more than once, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly in a perfect arc, and without a trace, he encircled his whole body in his arms, and when Zuo Chen raised his head ignorantly, the whole person was completely surrounded by Rui Yan.
Rui Yan looked at him coldly and dangerously, his charming eyes were like water, and he said in a deep and ambiguous voice: "Are you thinking about me?" Who the hell is my Prime Minister thinking about when you're so inattentive and so tempting when you're eating, huh? β
"What?" Zuo Chen was at a loss for an instant and couldn't find his direction, what is the situation now?
"Heh, clean up in a while, let's go climb Mount Tai, but there are secret words in the secret passages here, even if you remember the direction, don't think about escaping from here, I have your absolute possession in these seven days."
Seeing Zuo Chen's stunned appearance for a moment, he didn't know why Rui Yan didn't want to continue to tease and tease him, glanced at him with dark eyes, laughed in a low voice, let go of him and turned around to threaten him with a little bit of a rare good mood, and went straight out from the other side of the stone gate.
Zuo Chen was silent for a while before discovering a fact, just now he seemed to have dazzled his eyes, why did he suddenly see that person and feel so indebted, who thought he was pitiful in the first place, your sister.
At the same time, in another secret room, there sat a mighty man with the demeanor of a king, he was not slightly taller than the Central Plains people, and his beautiful curly hair was shining dark blue under the trance candle flame.
"Third prince, the capital has been prepared, as long as we wave our army south, we will definitely respond. The prince quietly sent a secret guarantee, saying that the prince had been in a daze all day now, and had been eating that dense elixir, and the imperial doctor had quietly diagnosed and treated him, but he was afraid that he would not live long. A dark shadow reverently knelt at the feet of the man who was sitting in the high position, and whispered prostrately.
"Yes, that idiot, it doesn't matter if he dies or not, what about the little emperor, is there still no whereabouts?"
Jeruqi sat there, his eyes not looking at his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground, his bright pure blue eyes with a little deep brown, and his fingers knocked on the dark chair where he was sitting.
"Back to the prince, not yet, I don't know why he suddenly disappeared, my subordinates have already sent more people to find out."
"Well, be hidden, that Ling Yun has mastered his movements, how many people are sent to assassinate him this time?" He sighed, and took out a parchment atlas from his cuff, which looked extremely old, and seemed to be quite old, and he carefully opened the map, tracing the cold face on it.
The man's long inky hair was naturally draped over his shoulders, his cold and waveless eyes had a unique charm, and his emaciated face became unclear because of the long-term touch.
Sit and watch the wind and clouds, and lie down and watch the clouds roll up.
These two lines of delicate lines are the words that were mentioned to him when he was still beside him at that time, if it wasn't for the dead old man, if it wasn't for the big mistake that Yun Yun inadvertently came to her, if it wasn't if, wouldn't things have become the way they are now.
sighed, put away the portrait, carefully placed it in the position of the closet, shook his eyes in front of his subordinates, and finally asked in silence: "Is he okay, and there is no whereabouts, right?" β
The man kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, then reacted, lowered his head and said, "Yes, prince." β
"This damned father and son, what kind of hatred do I have with them to harm me like this, take him away from me again and again, I have had enough, and I want you to pay back the wounds I have received with blood."
In the darkness, Yeluqi punched the table, only to hear a thud of sawdust shattering to the ground, mixed with the pungent smell of blood.
The black shadow kneeling on the ground shrank for a moment and said in a low voice, "Third Prince......." β
