Chapter Thirty-Eight: Infiltration
The sun hangs high during the day, and the road is sprinkled with clear light at night.
Yu Zhi trembled all night, scolded all night, and walked all night. Shivering is because of the cold, scolding is because of Lao Huang, and walking is also because of Lao Huang.
"This old thing!" Yu Zhi viciously quenched his saliva, and then continued to bend down to look for traces of ruts on the ground. Luckily, the moonlight was bright enough, the clouds were scarce, and the snow melted on the road surface to leave ruts.
Whew!
A wolf howl frightened Yu Zhi, if this wilderness was devoured by a wolf, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Yu Zhi quickened his pace. The traces of ruts are not difficult to find, Lao Huang didn't expect Yu Zhi to have this perseverance, so he didn't pay attention to the traces left. Otherwise, with Lao Huang's technology, Yu Zhi will have no trace at all.
"This time you have to be careful about the route, and the next time you come, you must ride a fast horse yourself, and you will not suffer this sin again." Yu Zhi thought to himself. Since entering Kyoto, Yu Zhi has counted the sins he has suffered enough to cover all kinds of things in the past eighteen years, even if he is asking the Taoist Academy, he is not as difficult as he is in front of him.
It is often said that the natal year is unlucky, and it is clear that it has not reached the natal year, and Yu Zhi already feels that the last days of this year are not easy. Maybe he won't be able to celebrate this New Year.
Bai Li already regarded Yu Zhi as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, if there was a chance, Bai Li would definitely get rid of it quickly. The old Xiangye in Loei is also a character who is not easy to mess with, and what Yu Zhi is going to do next is precisely to reverse the meaning of the Xiangye, which is another big enemy. The most important thing is that the mastermind behind the scenes, who has no trace, threw Yu Zhi out of Kyoto, and he didn't even dare to confide in the autumn wind, who should these people be? The more mysterious, the more terrifying.
In the dead of night, these thoughts involuntarily rushed to Yu Zhi's mind. Yu Zhi also felt a headache about this, but after thinking about it, Qiu Jinfeng had promised to be his backer, although for some reason, it was always good. There is also Li Haomiao, a kendo master lurking in Kyoto to protect his safety. Being able to make Li Haomiao break his oath and sneak into Kyoto must have made Li Haomiao very determined. Although it is well known that Li Haomiao's oath is not worth a pot of wine.
Thinking like this, Yu Zhi felt a lot more relieved, wouldn't it be happy to wait for a good family affair again?
Visions of good things are often unrealistic.
Walking alone at night, you need to make your mind active so that you don't fall asleep. Yu Zhi thought as he walked, and laughed at the same time, really like a fool who had lost his mind.
......
There was no sound on the outskirts of the wilderness except for the movement of the beasts hunting for food.
Kyoto wasn't so quiet tonight. No, no, no, it's still calm at the moment, and it won't be like that in a while.
Li Xiuyuan fell asleep very early, covered with a quilt made of edelweiss and fell asleep. Loei looks simple, but he does not treat himself badly with food and clothing. The thick layer of edelweiss quilt on Li Xiuyuan's body alone is worth going to the fertile land.
Li Xiuyuan fell asleep at the head of the bed, two young girls slept at the end of the bed, and Li Xiuyuan's feet were warmed under the quilt. No matter how luxurious the life of the ministers is, they should be, but they forget that there are frozen bones on the road.
There was only a glimmer of light in the dark room, and it could not reach the edge of the bed. At this moment, there was an extra person in the room, I don't know when I came in, and I didn't see the sound of the door opening, just like a ghost, it appeared very suddenly. The man stood in front of the bed, dressed in white, holding a sword in his hand for a long time, obviously not an assassin.
There are not many guards in Loei, but there are no strong cultivators, thinking that this prime minister is high and powerful and no one is offended, so the guards' kung fu is a little shallow, so it is so easy to be infiltrated.
During the day, Ye Qinghuan wanted to find the door, but was stopped by Yu Zhi and Qiu Ruoruo. What is it to go to the gate of Loei in broad daylight to provoke not to send to death? At that time, those arrests in Shuntianfu will be arrested and imprisoned as a matter of course.
Taking advantage of Yu Zhi's absence, Qiu Ruoruo fell asleep, and Ye Qinghuan secretly ran out of Qiu Mansion. It was easy to evade the soldiers patrolling the city with the strength of the five-rank armor piercing, and he thought that it would be easier to infiltrate Loei than to avoid the soldiers patrolling the city.
Ye Qinghuan is a simple person. Simple people generally don't have bad intentions, so his method of revenge is not as bad as Yu Zhi's. He woke up Li Xiuyuan, and when the other party was about to wake up, he punched him unconscious.
The strength control is excellent, making Li Xiuyuan groggy every day.
After doing all this, Ye Qinghuan left flutteringly. The old man is not beaten like the young man, if the means like Yu Zhi fall on Li Xiuyuan, the Great Chu Dynasty will have to change the prime minister.
No one noticed all this, Ye Qinghuan left in a flutter, but what he didn't know was that there was a person outside the door watching what Ye Qinghuan was doing.
The person in the dark did not make a move to stop Ye Qinghuan from leaving, touching his chin and gently raising the corners of his mouth, as if he had another idea in his heart. He stepped out of the darkness and the wisps of moonlight shone on his clean face, and this person was Li Haomiao.
borrowed Yihong Mansion to hide in it, but Li Haomiao was also bored at Liu Rushuang all day long, even if he was born with martial arts, he couldn't bear the obscenity every day. During the day, Li Haomiao wandered on the street, and he saw Yu Zhi, who was lost and depressed.
This news is not difficult to inquire. Although he can't know the cause and effect, Li Haomiao doesn't think the cause is very important, and the consequence is that Yu Zhi was beaten.
My aunt can bear it, but my uncle can't.
It's not about life and death, it's about face. Li Haomiao seemed to hear the ridicule of Li Qingru, who was far away in the Dao Academy. It is said that scholars are full of economic and economic exports, and it is true that what Li Haomiao is most afraid of is Li Qingru's knowledge and sword-like tongue.
As a result, there was a scene of Li Haomiao sneaking into Loei late at night.
The imperial city can be entered, not to mention the prime minister's mansion.
Li Haomiao saw Ye Qinghuan disappear outside the courtyard wall of the Li Mansion, and then pushed the door in. The voice was so loud that he was not afraid to wake Li Xiuyuan up. With a hint of chill from the cold wind entering the house, it woke up the two maids who were covering their feet to warm up, but they didn't wake up Li Xiuyuan, probably because Ye Qinghuan's palm was a little heavy.
Li Haomiao stepped out in one step and instantly stunned the two maids. I saw him stretch out his hand and land on Li Xiuyuan's chest, as if he hadn't done anything, watching Li Xiuyuan wake up slowly.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know why he was so drowsy, and his eyelids were as difficult to open as if they were stitched together. With intuition, Li Xiuyuan knew that someone was by his side, and said, "Who are you, why did you come to my prime minister's mansion?" ”
Li Xiuyuan has been in a high position all year round, and even now when he is being controlled, his words are still full of neutrality, revealing an uncompromising meaning.
Li Haomiao withdrew the hand that was placed on Li Xiuyuan's chest, just to let Li Xiuyuan wake up. After working hard to climb the courtyard wall, he always had to say a few words to the master's family, so thinking about it, Li Haomiao felt that Ye Qinghuan, this young man, was very rude.
"Li Xiangye has really been in a high position for a long time, and he has developed a temper that is not chaotic in the face of danger." Li Haomiao quipped.
Li Xiuyuan wanted to try to move his hands and feet, but found that his limbs were not under his control. Being imprisoned is a very insecure thing, and this kind of experience Li Xiuyuan only felt when he was kidnapped by his political enemies many years ago.
Now, he has long been above 10,000 people under one person, thinking that no one in Kyoto dares to go to Loei to make trouble, and this is the end after letting down his vigilance.
"If you ask for riches, I will give it to you. Ask for power, I can arrange an official and a half-post for you. With your strength, there is no problem in serving as a four-rank sword guard in the palace. Li Xiuyuan's mind turned quickly, after all, once the prime minister, he was calm and calm, and he even wanted to recruit the person in front of him.
Li Haomiao admired this old man a little, but he just admired it. "You beat one person during the day, but it's the one I want to protect. It's good for a young man to be taught some lessons, but if you think about it, as his elder, he will always come to ask you for some interest. ”
As he spoke, Li Haomiao clicked a few times around Li Xiuyuan. "I've sealed some of your acupuncture points, and it will be automatically lifted in three days. So you're going to suffer a little bit these days. ”
Li Xiuyuan didn't feel anything else, and said calmly: "That young man came to cheat on the marriage during the day, and I spared his life, but I didn't expect to offend Your Excellency?" ”
Li Haomiao found a chair and sat down, he knew that the marriage was actually related to Loei.
"You know better than me whether the marriage is true or not." Li Haomiao said. "Moreover, you know better what happened eighteen years ago."
The sound of the last word struck Li Xiuyuan's heart.
Eighteen years ago, of course he knew. It was precisely because of that incident eighteen years ago that he has the status and power he has today.
"Who are you!"
Li Xiuyuan asked again, his voice gloomy. This time it wasn't like before when he asked because he was a little flustered, this time Li Xiuyuan really wanted to know who the person next to him was.
It's just that there is no longer Li Haomiao's figure in the room.
Jumping over the wall, Li Haomiao felt that he had done a big thing today. Who is he, he is Li Haomiao, the only two kendo masters today, and the other one became famous earlier than him, but he is not necessarily better than him. Before he became a grandmaster, he dared to go to the imperial city, and it was a big thing, but it was just a small thing.
Li Haomiao's line knew that he might be exposed, but he still went. I'm afraid that Li Qingru's scolding is an excuse for some, as long as he wants to protect it, no one can touch Yu Zhi.
Being bullied a lot will always make people feel bullied.
After being beaten too much, even a dog will come up and bite off a piece of meat.
"You're back?"
On the wide street, a figure blocked Li Haomiao's way. The man was slender, dressed in tight-fitting black, wearing a black hat, and even the fingers of his hands were wrapped in black cloth, like a ghost from the darkness. If it weren't for some moonlight, you wouldn't have seen this person in the shadows.
His tone was not surprised, as if he had expected it a long time ago. After all, Li Haomiao does not keep his promises, and the world knows it.
Li Haomiao was very happy when he saw the other party, and he wanted to hug the other party's shoulder when he stepped forward, but the other party avoided it. The two of them turned their backs to each other, only an arm's length apart.
Li Haomiao didn't care, and replied: "My sister has a life, don't dare to disobey." ”
