The capital, the palace of Huai'an.

King Huai'an, Zhao Yanjun, the younger brother of today's son, and Yao Cong, the secretary of the Chaotian Pavilion, were talking.

The two seem to have known each other for a long time, and they talk about everything.

Both of them are the main battle factions in the DPRK and China, and both are somewhat radical. When talking about the strategy against the enemy, it is all words such as "kill a piece of armor and leave it behind" and "slaughter him all over the city". When it comes to the voices of civil opposition, they are all "suppressed by force", or "disobedient minions are killed".

Although there is a suspicion of being quick to speak, it also shows the attitude of the two.

Zhao Yanjun belongs to the same main battle faction of the Great Prince Party, and has been confronting the conservative Prince Zhao Yuncheng and his party all year round.

Although Yao Cong did not stand in line, how could he stand the moderate princelings because of his radical nature, and he was even more sneering at the theory of "raising obscurity and accumulating thick hair", but in fact, he had already secretly thrown himself into the party of the eldest prince.

After talking about political affairs, Zhao Yanjun mentioned some trivial matters again and asked, "What about Yujin's girl?

"What's there to be reluctant to?" As soon as Yu Jin was mentioned, Yao Cong seemed to become very impatient.

"I remember when the girl was young, you weren't like this, you couldn't be spoiled, those of us who were uncles and uncles wanted to hug you like to kill you. ”

"It's not what it used to be, the little girl has grown into a big girl, and her appearance has changed. Yao Cong sighed, shaking the steaming cup of "Imperial Dragon Well" in his hand, staring at the mist with reminiscence, as if he could see Yu Jin's appearance when he was a child from inside.

"The eighteenth change of the female university, that girl is now also slim and beautiful. If you come back to Beijing, I don't know how many sons and brothers rush to come to you to propose marriage. Always let her fight and kill outside, in the wind and sun, it's too wasteful. ”

"If I didn't want to break her up, I wouldn't have been able to let her enter the Chaotian Pavilion. In front of his old friend, Yao Cong did not shy away from it, and said everything in his heart.

Zhao Yanjun didn't expect his dislike of Yu Jin to be so deep, and persuaded again: "Could it be that you hope that she will always be the girl who can't eat enough, with no half of her breasts, like a board." ”

He also remembered what Yu Jin looked like when he was a child, and he only felt pitiful. The little girl didn't know what was going on, she was always very thin, as if she was hungry every day. When people saw it, they thought that Yao Cong had abused her.

In addition to having the face of a female baby, Yujin was about the same size as a little boy when she was a child, and it was not until she was fourteen or fifteen years old that she grew by leaps and bounds and became a big girl.

"When I was a kid, I liked it. Yao Cong said bluntly, "Now, hmph! ”

Zhao Yanjun also knew that Yao Cong had a weird "fetish", but he didn't expect it to be serious. But the two had a very close personal relationship, and he didn't want to interfere too much, and he didn't want to talk more about this kind of thing that he was a little despised.

"Don't talk about this," Zhao Yanjun diverted the topic and said, "What is the kid named Su Yi that you mentioned the Xie Division chasing before, have you caught it?"

"As soon as you say this, I get angry. Yao Cong blew her beard and said, "That girl is not only unattractive, but also useless, and now she has become disobedient." When I grew up, my wings became stiff, and I learned to fly on my own. ”

"What's going on? Zhao Yanjun said with a smile.

Ah Jin replied, saying that Su Yi's kid was too strong, and their team couldn't deal with it. That's it, I don't blame them, not to mention that Beiyue and his party have made meritorious contributions this time, no less than the credit for catching that kid. Who knew that Yujin's girl had to arrest people, and she acted without authorization and broke away from the team. A team leader, leaving a team of people alone, ran to arrest people by himself. What do you think that's the matter?"

"So, that kid doesn't have to be caught?"

"Catch, why don't you catch. ”

"But I heard that Bihe was taking his son in the Western Regions at this time, and you have no reason to arrest people..."

"That kid is so weird, I have to catch him for no reason. It's not the first time we've done this kind of thing..."Yao Cong said, glancing at Zhao Yanjun and smiling.

With the power in their hands, there is no reason not to use it for personal gain, both of them know it. What's more, the arrest of Su Yi is not for personal gain, it is purely driven by Yao Cong's intuition.

"That's right, I'll recommend you someone. ”

"Who?"

"Inuko. ”

"Zhao Rui?"

"That's right. ”

Zhao Yanjun has many heirs, and Yao Cong can find the name "Zhao Rui" among everyone, which can show that this Zhao Rui is already somewhat famous.

"Let him enter the Chaotian Pavilion?"

"No need, just give him some work to do, just go out and practice. The kid is very smart, but he stays at home all day and reads, and doesn't come out and walk around. It's useless to talk on paper, you have to find something practical for him to do. I think the task of chasing Su Yi is quite suitable. ”

"It turns out that you are hiding this thought," Yao Cong said with a smile, "Such a trivial matter, with our friendship, still use roundabouts? ”

"That's different. Zhao Yanjun patted him on the shoulder and said, "This matter is settled." ”

"It's a small thing. ”

...

The attack on Beiyue in Blackwater City continued to ferment, and finally spread throughout Changle City.

This day should have arrived a long time ago, but it was several days later than the time Su Yi guessed. And the way this matter became known was also different from what he expected.

It was thought that within a few days of the incident, a traveler or merchant would bring the news to Changle, and then spread panic throughout the city.

But when Su Yi came to Changle, all he saw was peace, and he still sang every night. I don't know if someone intercepted the spread of the news and downplayed the matter.

The other side of Crescent Mountain is in full swing, there are many dead, and they have to queue up for burial. For a long time, the people were in fear, fearing that the thieves would attack again. The huge gap in the southern wall of the city also made it difficult for them to feel at ease.

And on this side of Crescent Mountain, at most, he only knows that "a big event has happened in Beiyue". It's a big deal for the dead. But how big it is, without personal experience, and no one tells it vividly, it is difficult to understand.

Most people learned about this, or through the emperor's list.

First, Beiyue suffered a change, and the Son of Heaven changed color when he heard it, and mourned with all the people. Beiyue was exempted from taxes for five years, and the dead and injured were compensated in cash as appropriate, for medical treatment or funeral.

The second is that the culprit in this case is the top of the Absolute King's Mansion in Blackwater City, and has now defected from Blackwater City. The court of the Great Song Kingdom rewarded the top of the top with a reward of 10,000 taels of gold.

The third is that Ling Jueding is a native of the Northwest Guiqiu country. After verification, he and the court of Guiqiu State planned the Beiyue tragedy, and the king of Guiqiu refused to compensate for the losses of the Great Song Kingdom. Therefore, from now on, the Great Song Kingdom conscripted 100,000 troops and marched north to the Guiqiu Kingdom.

The Northern Expedition of the Great Song Kingdom has become a fact, and whether this matter has anything to do with the Guiqiu State or not, it is no longer important.

Su Yi shook a copy of the imperial list in his hand, stuffed it to Yue Wushuang, and said, "Take a look." ”

Yue Wushuang glanced at him casually and said, "Does this have anything to do with me?"

"Of course it has nothing to do with you, it has something to do with your father. Your father is the secretary of the military department, the lord and the faction, and now the fight is going to start, do you think your father can be better?"

"He's so bad, what's the matter with me..."Yue Wushuang said, but he still took a serious look at the emperor list again.

"Anyway, he's your father, and he didn't get you out of prison in the end?"

"Didn't you say that if you don't catch me, the result will be the same? He didn't have a choice, and he chose to catch me in the end, right?"

"Alas, don't think so..."Su Yi was only afraid that she would drill the horns, and she was stunned to stiffen her relationship with Yue Wen.

"What's going on in this Blackwater City? King Jue has rebelled, is it really fake?" Yue Wushuang read it several times, and finally put down the emperor list.

"It doesn't matter if he's real or not. However, I suddenly remembered that day, that day you said that you would find out why the people of Blackwater City would 'disappear'. Suppose that it is not Blackwater City that will 'hide in the shadows', but the Absolute King's Mansion... Is that possible?"

"You mean my dad colluded with Ling Ding?" Yue Wushuang said excitedly.

Hard-mouthed and soft-hearted are people like her, and as soon as she heard about the big thing about Yue Wen, she became worried.

"You calm down first... I didn't say that. Su Yi looked at her with a smile.

Yue Wushuang's mind was seen through, but he didn't feel blushing, but he felt that there was no need to pretend anymore, so he asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"Shuang'er don't be impatient, and listen to me slowly. ”

Hearing the title of "Shuang'er", Yue Wushuang blushed, and said anxiously: "Don't sell Guanzi, don't talk about me anymore... I'm going to get angry. ”

"Let me ask you first, where did you learn the kung fu of 'Shadow Concealment'?"

"Nonsense, of course it's my dad. ”

"Do you know where your father got it? Who else do you know who knows this kung fu besides your father?"

"It's... I do not know. ”

"Come, Miss Chuchu, it's your turn. Do you know the details of this 'Shadow Walk'?" asked Su Yi. At the beginning, Yue Wushuang wanted to start from Blackwater City, but now that he has a walking library by his side, why not start from the source.

"Shadow Concealment? Is that the technique of robbing the person who robbed Ling Cheng that day?" Yin Chuchu closed his eyes and searched in his mind.

After a while, I saw her open her eyes and frown, "Specifically, I can't remember where I saw it." But in my memory, I vaguely remember that there was a place in the far north of the Western Regions, where the days were extremely short, almost all day and night. I can't remember the name of a technique that was realized by a master there, but the description is very similar to what you call 'Shadow Walking', which is a sneak attack method that can make people hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity. Almost everyone who came out of that far north was proficient in this method. ”

"Do you remember what that place was called?" asked Su Yi.

Yue Wushuang seemed to have an answer in her heart, but her eyes were still staring at Yin Chuchu, and she still had a hint of hope in her heart, hoping that she wouldn't say the name she had in mind.

"Called..."Yin Chuchu thought for a long time and said, "It seems to be something... Luo Drought Country?"

If a basin of cold water is poured on his head, Yue Wushuang only feels cold all over.
