"Fang Cai Aiqing said, how many friends do you have? Can you tell me who they are, if they are together tonight, and if I can see them? ”

The emperor handed over the life-and-death letter to Lingyun and asked him to go to the border to find the prince of Guangling; After that, other related details were discussed.

Ling Yun's face was tense, and he hesitated slightly, "They have lived in the countryside for a long time, and they are all idle clouds and wild cranes, and they have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the imperial court; This time, if it weren't for the danger of seeing the society, the emperor was in trouble, and at the same time, there was a sincere invitation from Weichen, so he agreed to help; As for the audience with the Holy One...... Weichen didn't dare to make his own opinions, and he still had to ask their opinions before he could do it - if there was anything wrong with this, please forgive the emperor. ”

"If you don't want to come, you can get straight to the point, so why beat around the bush?" The emperor rolled his eyes almost invisibly, looking a little disappointed, and couldn't help but hang his head down.

Looking at the emperor's lost expression, Ling Yun felt a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly added: "But for the sake of safety, there is also a friend from the rivers and lakes who accompanied Weichen to the palace tonight; Just in case, it's good to take care of each other. ”

"Oh? I don't know who this righteous man is, can I see it? The emperor said eagerly.

"This ......," Ling Yun hesitated, "she ...... She is the person Ling Yun relies on the most in this life, she has helped Ling Yun many times, if it were not for her, Ling Yun would have died many times; This time, she was also behind Ling Yun's back, if it weren't for her scheme, Ling Yun wouldn't have come here to meet the emperor so smoothly......"

The emperor's dark eyes were thoughtful, and at the end he squinted, and said in a flat tone: "So, this friend of yours should be a woman, right?" ”

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment and bit the corner of his lip slightly.

"And if I guessed correctly, she should be the strange woman of the generation who is in the wind and clouds, and the country and the city are practicing Nanchun, right?"

"Your Majesty! ......" Ling Yun was taken aback by his sovereign's outspoken words, his expression immediately became panicked, and the eyes looking at the other party became more and more obscure.

He felt that what he had just said was already very vague, but he didn't expect that the emperor would see through his mind at once, and go straight to the most obscure place in his heart, without leaving any emotion!

He only stared at the other party in a daze, and only barely showed a smile that was uglier than crying for a while; Then he pouted and hung his head in frustration.

The emperor glanced at Ling Yun's embarrassed expression lightly, and there was a smile between his eyebrows that he hadn't even noticed, "Aiqing, in fact, you don't have to feel strange, let alone nervous. Originally, the matter between you and that woman was well known.

"Although I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, I have heard some legendary stories about you; What's more, there was also the incident that caused a storm in the city and shocked the earth-shattering Heavenly Owl Demon Girl, and my Huanyu sister was also involved in it......"

"Your Majesty, don't mention the past." At the mention of the old things, Ling Yun felt as if his heart was grabbed by something, and it shrank into a ball in an instant.

He rolled his throat a few times and opened his mouth bitterly, "Weichen is now only begging the emperor to let go of the things she had done when she was a celestial owl; If you really can't atone for the crime, then all the blame will be borne by Ling Yun! ”

"Ling Yun, what do you mean by that? Do you want to support heroes and heroes again, and take the blame for others? The emperor casually lifted his eyelids, and looked at him with deep eyes with scrutiny.

"......" Lingyun's breath stagnated.

The emperor moved his lips and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, his hoarse voice revealing indescribable sighs.

"In fact, after experiencing this earth-shaking catastrophe, I have already figured out whether a person is loyal or treacherous, and whether he has social integrity or not, has nothing directly related to his own identity and status. Because there are also countless great traitors and evil people in the court; And in the same way, in the Heavenly Owl, there are also many loyal ministers and righteous people who value love and righteousness, such as your confidante......"

"Your Majesty......" Ling Yun's heart was surging, he just looked at each other stupidly, and his whole body froze there for a while.

"Therefore, Aiqing doesn't have to worry about the past, the past is in the past after all; What I value is the present and the future. ”

When the emperor said this, the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely shallow, extremely light, as light as a feather, but with a strange and unpredictable extraordinary charm, it easily eliminated the confusion and uneasiness in Ling Yun's heart, leaving no trace.

Ling Yun couldn't help but smile, a silent and refreshing smile passed through his somewhat pale face, like a flash in the pan, although a little restrained, but it was a long breath from the heart.

"Emperor Xie!" Moved, Ling Yun knelt on his knees and bowed deeply to the monarch he admired and feared the most for the third time.

The emperor hurriedly stretched out his hands to stop him from leaning over and kneeling, "Aiqing, don't do this; All my hopes, I pin on Aiqing! Remember that you must be extra careful during this trip, and you must try to meet the prince no matter what, and convey my earnest intentions to the emperor's uncle, I am here to look forward to it......"

Later, his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse.

"The emperor can rest assured, but if he has a breath of air, he will do his best to serve the dogs and horses and live up to his mission!" Ling Yun's gaze was persistent, and his voice was firm.

"In this way, everything depends on Aiqing!" The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and wanted to say something more, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside.

Then as soon as the door of the hall opened, Ding Jiying broke in in a panic, and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the outside ...... Outside, Li Ruiyun and the others suddenly rushed to this side! ”

"What?" The emperor's expression went blank for a moment, which was caused by excessive consternation, "How can this be?" ……”

Ding Jiying said with a sad face: "Who knows? Before that, I found out very clearly, Li Ruiyun and my father went to inspect the military situation outside the city today; Before leaving, he also told my father that he was afraid that it would take several days to go, so he would not come back tonight anyway, who would have thought that he would suddenly rush back? It shouldn't be ...... according to common sense."

Ling Yun frowned slightly, and said with a sneer: "If you can play cards according to common sense, then it won't be him Li Ruiyun!" ”

Ding Jiying's face was like earth: "Then how is this good?" Your Majesty, Brother Ling, hurry up and get an idea! ”

The change came too suddenly, and even the emperor Zhao Yu, who had always been "not shocked before the collapse of Mount Tai", lost his opinion for a while, so he had to turn his gaze to the calm and calm courtier next to him, "Aiqing, in your opinion?" ”

Ling Yun's calm gaze turned, calmly took out the thin human skin mask that he had just taken off from his sleeve, walked straight to the bronze mirror next to him, reattached the disguised props to the mirror, and then returned and stood behind the emperor in a hurry.

"Sometimes, the easiest thing to do is often the most effective way to do it – and there's no better way to do it." His words were concise and clear, and every sentence was full of firmness and confidence, as if he had taken control of the overall situation.

Yes, the simplest is often the most effective. The emperor nodded approvingly, expressing his approval; Ding Jiying also condensed his adoring gaze on the person in front of him.

He really admired Ling Yun, he was so calm and calm no matter when and where, even if the knife was on his neck, his face would not change - is there no word "fear" in this person's heart? ……

Thinking for a while, I only heard the footsteps outside from far and near, and the figures outside, Li Ruiyun walked in surrounded by Ding Jinzhi and several internal guards.

He was dressed in a black power suit, with his hands behind his back, and he looked awe-inspiring. His sword eyebrows slanted into his sideburns, blood-colored eyes, a slightly hooked nose, slightly sunken corners of his mouth, and angular faces, all of which brought out the powerful aura exuded from his body more and more vividly.

Ding Jiying hurriedly stepped forward to greet Li Ruiyun; Then he turned around and said hello to his father Ding Jinzhi, "Dad." ”

"I haven't been here in a few days, so there's nothing unusual here, right?" Ding Jinzhi glanced at his son absently......
