Volume 2 A Light Walks in the Night Chapter 138 All Beings (2)
Flying Snow Building.
Xiao Yan, who was taller than an ordinary man, stood in front of the window, once again looking at the twilight enveloping Yanping City, and looking at the lights in the houses on both sides of the bustling long street.
Her eyes became clearer and sharper, which added a bit of heroism to her handsome face. There was no light in the room, and her eyes shone as bright as obsidian in the candlelight that emanated from the nearby candles.
The white-eyed old man pushed the door in.
The darkness of the room did not make him uncomfortable, and the princess did not light the candles immediately when the sun came, but she liked to watch the night swallow her surroundings quietly, silently and motionlessly.
This is something he has long been used to.
The princess said that at this time, her mind was most clear and calm.
Being in a black room, looking out the window at the bright world with bright lights and bright as day, Xiao Yan's tall but thin back, in the eyes of the white-eyed old man, was full of loneliness and loneliness.
One day, if the princess can walk out of the muddy darkness and into the brilliant lights in front of her, laughing and laughing openly and without scruples, that is the greatest expectation of the white-eyed old man.
Without waiting for the white-eyed old man to speak, Xiao Yan's calm voice had already sounded: "All parties are ready?"
"Back to Your Highness, according to the plan we agreed on before, both our people and those who were bought by us in the Southern Dynasty are all in place. All it takes is an order from His Highness, and the action will start immediately!"
The white-eyed old man bowed his head and replied, his tone respectful and his attitude humble.
Although his cultivation is higher than Xiao Yan, he has a heartfelt admiration for the master in front of him.
This is a tribal hero who is willing to give up the comfortable and wealthy princess life of the royal court for the sake of the Tianyuan royal court, and for every shepherd of the Tianyuan tribe to enter the rich land of the Central Plains and have a better life.
For the sake of the other party, even if the white-eyed old man goes to the soup, he will not frown.
As a brave and warlike warrior of the Tianyuan tribe, in order to reproduce the unparalleled glory of the tribe in the past, in order to create more brilliant tribal exploits, follow the heroes, fight side by side with the heroes, shed blood for the heroes, and even shroud in horse leather.
This is the greatest glory that the white-eyed old man pursues in this life.
"Then wait for the appointed hour to come. As soon as the time came, all parties acted as planned, and there was no need to ask me for any additional instructions. ”
Xiao Yan's voice was steady and powerful, with an indescribable confidence.
In order to destroy Yipinlou tonight, in order to cooperate with the Great Qi Sect to bring down the Zhao clan - to sweep away the first stumbling block of the Tianyuan Royal Court's army in the southern expedition, she has been preparing long enough and planning enough.
Everything has been done before today.
Tonight is her harvest time.
......
Prime Minister's Mansion, Listen to Bamboo Garden.
Zhao Yujie is painting.
She is very focused, and her eyebrows are full of solemnity, as if her life will collapse if she makes a mistake.
It is precisely because of such seriousness and unparalleled talent that although the time to learn to paint is still short, her crane drawings have already been quite skillful.
When she puts down the brush, Fluttershy, a maid who is waiting carefully, immediately steps forward to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.
Glancing out the window, Zhao Yujie realized that the night had overflowed the courtyard at some point.
Glancing at her paintings, Zhao Yujie was very satisfied. This is the culmination of her painstaking study during this period of time, and the level is higher than any of her previous works. If Xu Minglang saw it, he would definitely be very happy and amazed.
The original intention of learning painting was to please Xu Minglang, but in the process of learning, Zhao Yujie also got a lot of fun, just like piano, chess, and poetry, every time she learns the same, she will like it.
I like it because Zhao Yujie knew it when she was a child, these are elegant things, which are highly sought after by the world, and those who are really rich and noble and outstanding people are keen on them.
Those who are well versed in this way can be praised for a long time.
There is no one who does not love beautiful and delicate things. It is also human instinct to pursue something more advanced.
Zhao Yujie has long longed for these.
When she was in the Zhenguo Mansion before, because the Zhao family was a general, the young children knew how to learn martial arts, and they were beaten all day long, and their noses and faces were swollen, and the clansmen talked about the art of war, which made her drowsy.
Now it's different, when she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion and entered the scholar's house, Zhao Yujie could finally pursue these to her heart's content.
She felt a glimmer of happiness.
It made her feel that the world was not so nasty.
If a person is alive, if she never feels happiness in her heart, then there is no place for her to be nostalgic in this world, and life will lose its meaning.
The happiness that qin, chess, calligraphy and painting brought to Zhao Yujie is second only to her commanding her wings to be born and die.
"Miss's crane is so beautifully painted that the slave maid is reluctant to take her eyes off, it's exactly the same as Miss's charm, ah, really, Miss's painting skills are so good!" Fluttershy's eyes were full of adoration for Zhao Yujie.
Being flattered to the point will make anyone feel happy, and Zhao Yujie is no exception, with a heartfelt and smug smile on her face.
But in the next moment, her eyes sank two points without warning, "Burn it." ”
Hearing this, the newly favored maid Fluttershy opened her mouth in surprise, "Miss, how can you give up such a good painting......
When she said this, she suddenly covered her mouth, because she had already thought that Zhao Yujie never liked to say her orders a second time.
And the maid who needs Zhao Yujie to repeat her orders is not only stupid but also stupid in her eyes, and she will definitely not be approached and trusted again.
Watching Fluttershy light a pot of fire and throw the crane into it that has not completely dried up, turning it to ashes, Zhao Yujie, who is sitting in the chair, has no nostalgia or pity.
She has always known that whether it is the tea ceremony, or the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is not the foundation of her life in this life. You can pursue it, you can like it, but you must not indulge in it. Losing one's mind is the biggest taboo.
So the more Zhao Yujie likes her painting, the more she wants to burn it as soon as possible.
From beginning to end, the core of Zhao Yujie's lifelong pursuit is to be a superior person, to be a person who gives orders, and to be the strongest person in the world who can control her fate without anyone above her head, shouting at her, and making her swallow her anger.
Poetry and songs, small ears.
"What is the situation of the people who are going to be dispatched tonight, but what is the abnormal movement?" Zhao Yujie asked the maid outside the door in a cold voice.
This is the sixth time she has asked a similar question today. Although things had already been arranged, she still arranged for someone to make a return every hour. She doesn't want any surprises, so she has to stay on top of the situation in real time.
Even if such a report seems redundant, but there are too many times, some issues that would not have been taken seriously will be reported by the people below, which is conducive to her understanding of the situation and responding in a timely manner.
"Miss, everything is normal, and when the hour comes, everyone will be able to leave immediately. The maid outside the door came in to report. Obviously, this maid is a member of the Jianghu organization under her command, the "Abyss".
Zhao Yujie bowed slightly.
In order to destroy Yipinlou and regain control of the underground rivers and lakes of Yanping City, Xiao Yan had already begun to lay out, and Zhao Yujie knew this.
Today is the day when the disciples attack the Zhao family, so Xiao Yan chose the date of the action tonight, the purpose is to use this east wind to achieve her goal.
Previously, when Zhao Yujie passed the news of Xu Minglang's general attack on the Zhao clan today to Xiao Yan, she also made some arrangements for the "abyss".
This turmoil is destined to be very dynamic, and the power structure of Yanping City and even the Great Qi Dynasty will usher in a big change, and in such a situation, there are undoubtedly many opportunities.
Zhao Yujie wants to let the "abyss" seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to maximize its own strength. Its main action was to take advantage of the chaos to seize the neighborhoods under the control of the other party when Xiao Yan dealt with Yipinlou, who was defeated like a mountain.
That is, the land area.
"Abyss" has been under the protection of some of the Xu industries she manages, this is not a long-term solution, "Abyss" is always going to grow, and we must find opportunities to develop.
Now the time has come.
was made twice by Zhao Ning before, and Zhao Yujie almost lost her life, which was a big ordeal for her. Whether it was being stabbed by Zhao Ning in Daizhou or being assassinated in the capital, it was a big setback.
The previous time it was defeated.
It was a big blow to her.
But Zhao Yujie was not discouraged.
For the son of the family, three out of ten things have failed, which is the embodiment of his own incompetence, and he will inevitably no longer be valued by the family, and the consequences will be so serious that the sky will fall.
For ordinary people, if five out of ten things fail, then life will inevitably suffer a major disaster, and the spirit of the person concerned is afraid and unbearable.
But for Zhao Yujie, she has nothing since she was a child, she depends on her mother for her life, and she works hard to survive like a cockroach in a difficult world, but whenever there is a glimmer of light, it is worth doing her best.
You have to do your best.
If one of the ten episodes succeeds and makes a difference in life, thank God.
People who are struggling on the verge of life and death, as long as they don't die, as long as they can live, there is no blow that they can't bear.
For others, failure is suffering, suffering is sin, and for Zhao Yujie, she doesn't feel how difficult it is at all, because she has experienced too much and has long been used to it.
Whether it's good food and wine, or hardships and hardships, getting used to it is just ordinary.
"If the Zhao family really falls this time, I don't have to live like a pins and needles anymore, and I can appear in front of people generously. ”
Thinking of this, Zhao Yujie secretly let out a sigh of relief, because she knew that her gaze would become extremely sharp and scary, she chose to close her eyes and meditate in her heart:
"Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning, you are going to die after all. When the Zhao family falls, I will definitely ask Xu Laogou to help, so that I can have the opportunity to cut off your head with my own hands, and avenge the revenge of the knife in Daizhou that day, and the hatred of being stabbed on the street last year!"
......
In order not to attract the attention of the disciples and cause unnecessary trouble, when Zhao Ning and others rushed to Dali Temple, they tried their best to disguise and conceal their whereabouts.
When I arrived at Dali Temple, there were already a lot of people from the Zhao clan gathered here, constantly shouting at the gate, and shouting to see Dali Temple, squeezing inside, and the voices were boiling.
These are all cover manpower in order to deceive the eyes and ears of the door.
Zhao Ning and others entered Dali Temple with their front feet, and the people involved in the case who were escorted from Jingzhao Mansion were thrown into the prison of Dali Temple with their back feet.
