Chapter IV

In the early morning of the next day, news spread throughout the entire imperial capital - the shadow lord Suyue Gongzi drove to Yixiu Street last night, causing shocks in all parties - the shadow prince appeared in Chaoge, the forces of all parties were ready to move, and the situation in the imperial capital was changing rapidly.

Su Ying was sitting in front of the mirror, and Ning Qing was taking care of his hair.

"Ning Qing...... Do you believe in reincarnation? Su Ying was a little dazed.

"How did Childe talk about this?" Ning Qing's voice was full of surprise. Su Ying didn't answer again.

When he slept last night, he dreamed again. This time, the dream is clearer and more real, and more elusive.

In the dream, he stood in a beautiful landscape painting, with the blue mountains in the distance cascading on top of each other, and the meadows in the near distance, and the sparkling turquoise lake water was like a piece of crystal amber, which was full of brilliance.

He held a simple white paper kite in his hand and wore a light blue robe. There was a man in front of him coming towards him from the other side of the lake, and the man was smiling at him, and his smile was as warm as the June sun, which could melt it all.

Approaching, Su Ying was speechless in surprise, but it was also expected.

The man was Qingmo, his long hair showed a pale cyan reflection, and the whole person seemed warm, warm, sincere and happy. It is completely different from the Qingmo General in reality that Su Ying just met.

The green ink in reality exudes fragility and despair.

"Ling Yan, you look so good today." Qingmo smiled so innocently, making Su Ying quiet and anxious. Qingmo picked up the paper kite in his hand and ran on the grass, the blue-purple figure, the fish-white paper kite, hazy and insignificant, made Su Ying very impressed.

Suddenly, the scene was changing, and in the darkness for no reason, a voice whispered softly in his ear: "Ling Yan, wait for me for three days." Three days later, I'll take you away. ”

The moment he woke up, Su Ying was inexplicably vulnerable, like a shrimp that had been stripped naked, as if he had lost something, and as if he had been forcibly embedded with something that did not belong to him, which made people's hearts full of uneasiness and worry.

Sitting in the dining room, with an empty dining table, Su Ying felt silent and tired.

He got up too early, yesterday Emperor Qiluan had a birthday, and he sang all night in the song city, and no one would get up early.

Ning Qing helped him to scoop the dark porridge with medicinal herbs into a small white porcelain bowl after carefully examining it in secret.

"Ning Qing," Su Ying put aside last night's dream, scooped up a spoonful of milky white porridge, blew it, and resumed his usual tone.

"The bait has been thrown out, and it won't take ten days for Yue Xuan to take Licheng."

"Gongzi is willing to help Yuexuan, and Ning Qing is acting for his younger brother Xie Gongzi." Ning Qing stood behind Su Ying, her voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear in the early morning.

Last night, Gongzi appeared on Yixiu Street, and he didn't blame Yuexuan for revealing his traces with great fanfare, he should know his purpose for doing this. Childe's wisdom Ning Qing never underestimated. Childe can tolerate Yuexuan doing this, that is, he acquiesces to help him.

Use yourself as bait to help Yuexuan.

Ning Qing actually felt that his younger brother had done something inappropriate.

Although Childe's safety is absolutely foolproof, he can't gamble on this, it's too risky. But if Gongzi didn't say anything, Ning Qing would never say much, in his opinion, worrying about Gongzi was an insult to this master he had followed for so many years.

Now, if Yue Xuan wants to take Licheng, he only needs a logical reason to launch a full-scale campaign against the Licheng faction. Without a proper reason, grabbing other people's territory at will will only become the target of public criticism, and if the opposing forces from all over the world attack it in groups, it will not be pacified with a snap of a finger, it will only bury countless troubles and hidden dangers for taking down the spiritual realm in the future, which is not what Su Ying wants to see.

At present, Su Ying can give him this reason, and he can still get this bit of bargaining chips. The condition is that Xiang Yuexuan must repay him a hundred or even a thousand times.

The Licheng faction has actually been forced by him in the past two years, and his power has initially settled in Licheng. If the people of the Licheng faction do not make any move, they can only wait to be annexed. No gang that has been around for nearly two hundred years is willing to sit idly by. Therefore, the best way is to assassinate the Lord of Shadows, the Prince of the Moon, that is, Su Ying.

Of course, Su Ying was not an easy person to be assassinated.

So, Su Ying gave them such a "God-given opportunity".

Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, it is a great opportunity for all parties to oppose him. Su Ying thought that if he was a member of the Licheng faction, he would definitely choose to wait for the opportunity at this time to get rid of the Shadow Master who was leaning towards the side.

And now, Su Ying was waiting for them to come.

The crime of assassinating the Shadow Lord Su Yue Gongzi was enough for Yue Xuan to completely eradicate the Licheng faction. Su Ying lowered her head and silently hooked the corners of her lips.

"Three sons! Three sons! ”

Su Ying raised his head silently and saw the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion running from the other end of the courtyard towards the dining room.

"What's wrong?" Su Ying lowered her head again and tapped her fingers lightly on the tabletop.

"Childe, someone has come to the palace." The old butler spoke in a tentative tone.

"So what?" Su Ying used chopsticks to pick and choose among the light side dishes on the table.

"The people in the palace said that they came to pick up the son. Said that His Majesty Qiluan wanted to see you. ”

Su Ying turned her head and slowly put the chopsticks on the bowl, her eyes cloudy: "You say it again." ”

The old butler flinched, and what he was most afraid of in the whole house was the uncertain third son.

"Childe, this ...... The people in the palace are at the door, or-"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Su Ying stood up directly, making a big movement, and the chair overturned behind him, making a loud "clang" sound.

Su Ying walked directly to the door, and Ning Qing followed behind, looking vigilant.

There was a person standing at the door, a simple sedan chair, and two sedan chair bearers. Su Ying slowed down, put on a surprised expression, and said to the person who looked like an attendant, "Dare to ask your lordship what's the matter?" ”

The man looked up and was stunned the moment he saw Su Ying, his eyes were very strange, not only the people who were surprised by Su Ying's appearance on weekdays, but also some other things.

"Slaves don't dare to be. His Majesty Qiluan heard that the prince of Chaoge Baibi Su had some unpleasant things with the son of Lord Sima of the right minister last night, and then disappeared, so he specially ordered the servant to take the son into the palace and tell him the ins and outs of this matter. The man arched his hands and looked at Su Ying, his eyes flashing with a frenzy of relief.

Su Ying frowned slightly, and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's care, Su Ying is fine, and there is no need to enter the palace." ”

The man smiled, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Your Majesty is just asking, and the prince doesn't have to have any burden, just don't need to work hard." ”

Su Ying looked at the plain-clothed attendant.

In the end, the slightly frowning eyebrows stretched, and Su Ying said calmly: "Since this is the case, there is Master Lao." There was also a bit of a smile in his tone, which was unpredictable.

The man stretched out his hand to open the sedan curtain for Su Ying. Sitting on the sedan chair, Su Ying told Ning Qing to go back to the house, and there was no need to follow.

The sedan chair was lifted, Su Ying lifted the silk curtain on the small window of the sedan chair, and asked, "Dare to ask the adult's surname?" The person next to him turned around and smiled politely at him, saying, "Daimyo, don't dare!" Slave Xun Qing. ”

Su Ying lowered the silk curtain, and the smile on her face disappeared.

Xun Qing, he did know that Emperor Qiluan's first guard was the first guard, plus Emperor Qiluan's loyal henchmen. He had been following Emperor Qiluan since he was five years old, and now this person is at least 2,800 years old.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Su Ying smiled silently again. Should he be grateful for the honor, or should he be troubled by the oddity?

With Xun Qing opening the way, the sedan chair was carried into the palace unimpeded.

When Xun Qing opened the sedan curtain, he saw Su Ying leaning on the sedan chair and pretending to sleep.

The palanquin was very dim, and a few pale yellow rays of light shone on Su Ying's face, and the slender and thick eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheeks.

Xun Qing was stunned for a moment, the demonic beauty at this moment was clearly unique to the person who had a vigorous relationship with Qiluan back then.

Su Ying opened her eyes, looked at Xun Qing who was leaning in front of the sedan chair, lightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and said politely: "I'm really sorry." But here? ”

"It doesn't matter." Xun Qing immediately regained his wise and capable indifferent appearance.

Su Ying got off the sedan chair and stood in an open space.

The surrounding scenery is exquisite, purple and red, and the flowers are graceful. In the distance towered the gold-domed hall, where Ling Yan died. Surrounded by a forest of high pavilions and flying pavilions, there are white corner towers in the distance.

Su Ying retracted his gaze, and in front of him was a delicate and elegant crescent-shaped arch, through which he could faintly see the luxurious and luxurious marble palace in the door.

It's not the main hall, so this time it should just be an inquiry about last night's incident. Su Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his shadow would one day face Emperor Qiluan, but right now, he wasn't ready.

It is absolutely impossible to say that the court and the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with each other, and it is absolutely impossible to use a person like Emperor Qiluan to scheming and abusing power.

"Childe, please." Xun Qing led Su Ying into the crescent arch. Pushing open the carved wooden door depicted in vermilion, Xun Qing saluted and said, "Son, please come in, the slave is inconvenient to accompany you, just wait for you here." Su Ying nodded and walked in the door.

The golden beast smoker contains a little Rui brain, scattering the aroma, the outer hall is very large, and there is a dark red smoke veil hanging in front of the door to enter the inner hall.

Su Ying walked a few steps into the hall and saw a person standing behind the smoke veil. Although he had his back to Su Ying, he still recognized it - it was Emperor Qiluan, and he would never be wrong.

He was wearing a dark robe between light green and smoky blue today, with black hair tied with a cyan ribbon and a piece of jade around his waist, completely devoid of last night's domineering and domineering.

But why, does it feel familiar?

A few steps behind Emperor Qiluan, Su Ying slowly knelt down, "Grass people Su Ying, I've seen Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Qiluan didn't look back, and Su Ying naturally couldn't get up. After a while, his knees were slightly numb, and Su Ying gritted his teeth gently. Look up at the man's back.

The tall back, like a stone sculpture - this person will eventually become his Su Ying's enemy. He is the master of the shadows, and the one in front of him is the king of the spirit realm. He will not tolerate his continued development and growth, and he will not be able to compromise his obstacles, so one day, either this person will die or he will die.

The strength of the Shadow is expanding, and it is no longer to be underestimated. How could a king like Emperor Qiluan tolerate it?

"Are you Su Ying?"

Su Ying came back to his senses, lowered his head and said as humbly as possible: "It's the grass people." ”

"Lift your head up." Emperor Qiluan's voice was calm. It's just that he has never refused to say the word "flat".

Su Ying raised his head, raised his upper eyelids, and looked directly into Qiluan's eyes with some provocation, and was instantly surprised - this person had a pair of turquoise eyes, as deep as the jade on his waist.

The moment he saw Su Ying, the person on the other side shook violently.

Su Ying saw Qiluan's lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Su Ying saw shock, ecstasy, and unspeakable pain in his eyes.

Qiluan suddenly reached out and leaned over to grab his arm.

Su Ying was startled, and his brain was a little blank for a moment.

"Why didn't you tell me at the time...... Do you know how I've spent my years? Qiluan looked at him and questioned him, his fingers pinching his arm.

Su Ying's chest couldn't help twitching—those beautiful pupils were full of desperate pain, complete desperate sadness.

Even compared to Qingmo, it is not far behind.

Looking at his trembling lips, Su Ying felt as if his heart was being held fiercely by an invisible hand.

"You said that you hated me......" Su Ying looked into his eyes and muttered.

Then he was stunned, and Qiluan was also stunned.

Su Ying clenched his five fingers, feeling as if something was out of his control.

Suddenly, a cold breath came to his face, and Emperor Qiluan actually knelt in front of him and hugged him firmly, his arm was very hard, and Su Ying was a little out of breath.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Su Ying was stunned again, so much so that he stopped pushing his arm. Qiluan's body was trembling, and the force almost rubbed himself into his body.

Emperor Qiluan said, I'm sorry.

Su Ying didn't understand a little, whether this was said to it or to Ling Yan.

Waiting for the calm of his emotions, Su Ying lowered his eyes: "...... Your Majesty, my legs are numb. ”

From the moment he came in and knelt down just now, Qiluan didn't say a word of "flat".

Qiluan let go of him abruptly and pulled him up, his turquoise eyes flowing with joy, which made his already handsome face even more eye-catching.

"Ling Yan, hurry up."

These two words were like thunder, which made Su Ying suddenly sober up a lot. Su Ying shook off his hand suddenly, took a step back, and said clearly: "Your Majesty, Su Ying, grass people." ”

Qi Luan was stunned, the flush on his cheeks gradually receded, replaced by a miserable white, and then, he turned around and stopped talking.

However, Su Ying had no choice.

"Your Majesty is looking for me, what is the matter?" Su Ying was a little irritable, things were out of his control, and he was even more irritable, and something affected his state of mind. His voice trembled slightly, too, and it was hard to hide.

"The matter of the right prime minister's son...... It's nothing. Qiluan waved his hand with his back to Su Ying, and stopped talking.

Su Ying looked at his back and was silent for a long time.

"In that case, the grass people have retired." After a while, Su Ying said.

Qiluan waved his hand again with his back to him, motioning for him to go down. Su Ying made a unicorn invisible salute and turned to leave.

Emperor Qiluan turned around, looked at the slowly closing door, and closed his eyes.

Only he knows how excited he is now, to the point where he can't control it. At the beginning, between a sword, it was a big mistake, and after two thousand years of waiting, I just wanted to see him again. He had been waiting for this for more than 2,000 years. How many times he has despaired, but he is not even qualified to be sad. Because he is the king of the spirit world, an immortal legend, and a murderer who killed that person.

A hot tear slid down the originally rigid but unusually soft contours, and fell silently to the ground.

"There will never be a ...... again No one can hurt you anymore......"

Originally, Qiluan was going to tell Su Ying, who had drunk on his birthday last night, to apologize to the right son, but the moment he raised his head, he couldn't say anything anyway.

With a single glance, he changed his mind. He will handle this matter properly and will never let him suffer any more grievances. He didn't even dare to let the man linger in the room, he was afraid. The man stayed a little longer, and he didn't know what he would do. He didn't want to hurt him anymore.

This time, he must not lose him again.
