Chapter 13: Jeruzi
When he heard Rui Yan say that sentence so coldly and indifferently, Zuo Chen's heart felt a little painful, and because of the coldness in his tone, he had an illusion for a while, mistakenly thinking that the person sitting opposite him was the little junior sister.
Zuo Chen lowered his head and hid all his emotions in the night, his voice was a little tense and panicked, and he said unhappily: "How can Your Majesty be so sure of their purpose, even if this Ye'an Pavilion is bold, I am afraid that he will not dare to accept your deal, it is just an assassination organization in the rivers and lakes, and it is not enough to be the enemy of the entire rivers and lakes, if you add the imperial court,......γ β
"They really have that guts, one of my heads is worth tens of thousands of taels of gold, Uncle Huang really loves me and gives such a fair price, my treasury is only a little more than these, my Uncle Huang can take out these alone, I really underestimate him."
Rui Yan's eyes looked through the darkness in an unknown direction, and the killing intent on his body made Zuo Chen shudder, and the fierce murderous aura was just a flash and then it was reined in.
Looking at Zuo Chen, who was thinking, Rui Yan continued to explain with rare kindness: "Aiqing, you are still too naΓ―ve, have you ever thought about the situation you assumed will only appear under what circumstances? β
Seeing Zuo Chen's suddenly realized expression, he continued: "If I die, do you think someone will really find out the cause of my death, even if it really will, it will just be a pretense to investigate and kill two lightless thieves, and it should be an explanation to the world." β
"Since ancient times, the king has been defeated and defeated, that's just the truth, only the one who wins is right."
Zuo Chen quietly looked at the fourteen-year-old boy opposite, even if he didn't look at his eyes, he could feel the loneliness in his heart, but he didn't know where to comfort him, because he was right, this world is just a world where the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, and no one will sympathize with you or let you go because of your young age.
It's just a short quarter of an hour, Rui Yan turned his head to face Zuo Chen again, those beautiful flying phoenix eyes were very bright in the dark night, sharp and full of the demeanor of a king, and said confidently: "My Uncle Wang, who has always been uninky but full of ambition, I think you know what I mean." As far as his head is concerned, not to mention assassination, it is to force the palace, it is not enough to succeed, and there is more than enough to lose, the emperor is thinking that it is his only brother and has nothing to do, and he has always turned a blind eye to him, and has not pursued anything. β
His tone paused for a moment, his ink-colored eyes were a little dim, and he said helplessly: "But Uncle Wang, what he has done this time is beyond the scope of my patience, and he actually wants a eunuch to enter the court to interfere in politics, not to mention that he also fornicates with foreign enemies and uses half of the country as a bargaining chip, it is simply ridiculous, too absurd, and the face of the old ancestor has made him lose everything."
Zuo Chen looked at the person whose face was already flushed, and said cautiously with a little doubt: "Lord Wang, fornicating with foreign enemies?" β
"Do you remember that lawyer? It was the last time they had a secret meeting in the Yilan Pavilion, and they just received a tip during the day, and that legal son was the third prince Yeluqi, who was now the most ruthless and good at fighting and cool men in the Khitan. β
Rui Yan spit out the name expressionlessly, and his gloomy eyes could tell how bad his mood was at this time.
Compared to Rui Yan's anger at his imperial uncle's stupidity, Zuo Chen's mood at the moment is not good enough to take it, for three years, Zuo Chen has worked hard to put the name Yeluqi into the dust of memory, but he still can't forget the insult brought to him by the man with a pair of azure eyes.
He thought he would never get a chance to get into touch with this man again and would be able to slowly forget about him, but in fact he was once again involved in a battle with this man.
The flowers on the other side have bloomed, and the leaves are green and dusty. The stars are shining, where to ask for love. The banks of the Sansheng River are dark, and they have turned around for years.
Three years ago, when he was still a high-spirited young swordsman, he was not happy to drink and hangover and fight the swordsman, but in an accident he met Yeluqi, when he was dragged to the market by the little sister who loved to get into trouble everywhere, and at that time he walked in the various lands of the Great Song Dynasty in the form of a merchant.
A very recognizable person, with a typical Khitan appearance with a broad forehead, strange blue-purple curly hair, pure and azure pupils, looks romantic and wild, that is Yeluqi, who calls himself Qi Lu, which was his pseudonym when he was in the Central Plains.
Three years ago......
When he was a teenager, he was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to experience and wander the rivers and lakes, and the little junior sister always liked to take advantage of the senior brother to run down the mountain to find Zuo Chen when the master was in retreat or going out.
That time was no exception, when Zuo Chen was traveling to Suzhou, he received a flying pigeon from the senior brother, saying that the little junior sister left a book and ran away to find him, telling him not to continue moving forward, but to return to the past to find the little junior sister.
"Second Senior Brother, you are the best for others, can you take them to the market for a while?"
The water that was found by him halfway was slightly frowned, and his hazy eyes were like smoke and fog with a stream of water vapor, which made people can't help but feel pity, and he clung to Zuo Chen's sway.
Although the little junior sister looked pitiful, Zuo Chen, who had always been despised by the people around her, still shook her head resolutely.
Don't go out, just the appearance of the little junior sister and the eccentric temperament, going out is definitely equal to trouble, so he doesn't want it.
Seeing Zuo Chen's refusal so simply, his eyes rolled several times, and he smiled slyly and whispered in his ear: "Second Senior Brother, if I'm not mistaken, the old osmanthus brew you drank secretly in the house yesterday seems to be my father's treasure."
"You said that you are also an alcoholic, and your father knows that you are secretly drinking, and he can already give you half your life, and he dares to secretly drink his old man's treasure, you are miserable, you are miserable."
Zuo Chen rolled his eyes a little weakly when he heard this, he used this trick every time, but every time he would definitely be coerced, 55555...... why did he once think that his little junior sister was pure and like a little fairy?
It's clearly a white-eyed wolf, no wonder the senior brother would rather turn a blind eye and pretend not to see her little movements, and let her go down the mountain to make trouble for him.
"Second Senior Brother~~~."
"Tell me, where do you want to go?" Zuo Chen supported his head with one hand, and said weakly to the coquettish girl in front of him.
"Market, let's go, I know that only the second senior brother is the best for me."
After saying that, she pretended not to see Zuo Chen's impolite behavior of rolling her eyes, pulled up one of his sleeves and pulled it towards a market she met when she came.
The handsome guy Zuo who was pulled by him in the back added with concern, it's best for me to bully, so he comes to me every time.
But those warm peach blossom eyes still carry doting and love that cannot be ignored, in fact, this is also very good, at least she is very happy, behind the invisible back, Zuo Chen looked at her silently as before.
