Chapter 500: The Gap
The New Year is approaching, and it has snowed heavily for three days in a row, dyeing the world like a pink carved jade, white and flawless. Keep in mind
Mu Hao strode out of the palace with a gloomy face, stepping on the thick snow under his feet with a "creaking" sound.
The guards waiting by the carriage greeted him, looked at his face, and cautiously asked, "The prince wants to go back to the house?"
Mu Hao stepped into the carriage, flicked the brocade curtain irritably, and shouted: "What house are you going back to? ”
"Yes. Mu Hao's temper these days is extremely irritable and irritable, and the guards didn't dare to respond any more, so they hurriedly ordered the groom to drive off.
In the battle for succession, the greatest credit is none other than Mu Hao, if it weren't for his insistence on putting him to death and then taking the risk of the soldiers, and encompassing Gui Shi'er and others to take on the heavy responsibility of the surprise attack, it is absolutely unknown who will kill the deer. Therefore, Emperor Xiaocheng named him the king of Chu and gave him the title of the country as a sign of grace.
However, Mu Hao was not satisfied. Although Great Chu has never had a precedent of announcing the heir to the throne to the world when the emperor was on the throne, Mu Hao still relied on his high merits and wanted to break this convention, and repeatedly asked Emperor Xiaocheng to appoint him as the crown prince, but Emperor Xiaocheng always sternly refused.
Today, Mu Hao entered the palace and saw that Emperor Xiaocheng was in a very good mood, and mentioned the matter again, which made Emperor Xiaocheng furious, and expelled him after a fierce reprimand. Mu Hao was resentful and resentful in his heart, and when he came out of the palace, he just wanted to find a place to borrow wine to get drunk, so he naturally thought of returning to Shi'er.
When he arrived at the Mansion of the Great General of the Patriotic Empire, Gui Shi'er was busy welcoming the door, invited Mu Hao in, ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and went outside to call a few courtesans to help the fun.
After a few rounds of wine, Mu Hao was a little overwhelmed, and he slapped his wine glass. hateful said: "My father is so unkind, it's too chilling." ”
Suddenly hearing this, Gui Shi'er couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "The prince is drunk." "Hurriedly ordered the courtesans to withdraw. If this kind of rebellious slander and complaint spread, Mu Hao may be fine, but it will be very bad for him.
Mu Hao snorted: "This king is not drunk. The king knew it in his heart. My father seems to be very kind to you and me, but in fact, it is just for show...... This king himself will not say it, you were named the general of the patriotic country, on the surface it is infinitely beautiful, but in essence, everyone understands, there is a nominal empty shelf, and how many people really take it to heart? This king is really not worth it for you. ”
Gui Shi'er said: "The prince is serious, the emperor has given me such an honor, I am ashamed to take it." Why is it not worth it?"
Mu Hao seemed to be really drunk, and sneered with the strength of the wine: "There are no outsiders here, you don't need to pretend to be stupid with me, don't you really see that the emperor is guarding us? Why is he guarding us, do you know?"
In the history of Great Chu, it is not that there has never been a matter of forcing the palace by the son to seize the father's power, and Emperor Xiaocheng did not let Gui Shi'er lead the troops, that is, he was afraid that Gui Shi'er was Mu Hao's confidant. made Mu Hao have the opportunity to compile power, so he would rather be crowned as the general of the patriotic country than give him real power.
Gui Shi'er said quietly: "The lower officials don't dare to speculate on the emperor's intentions. But he also sneered in his heart. I'm afraid I know a little more than you about the reason for this.
Jia Lishi once heard the conversation between Emperor Xuanwei and Emperor Xiaocheng, who was then King Jin, in the Imperial Mausoleum, and learned a secret about the royal family of Dachu, and later told Gui Shi'er. This secret is actually the secret of all the royal families of the Taichao Divine Continent, and the current division of the territory of the Taichao Divine Continent is completely the result of the negotiation of the various sects in the cultivation world. Because the first condition for the prosperity of a centralized state is to have a king of great talent, in order to maintain the strength of the country, the first generation of emperors who were supported by various schools of cultivation made an oath. Each person who inherits the throne must survive among all the heirs, and choose the most powerful of them.
In other words, these emperors are the watchdogs raised by the cultivation sect to grab resources, and in order to protect the interests of the various cultivation sects to the greatest extent, the descendants of these watchdog dogs have to fight each other. Only the strongest and fiercest one can become the leader dog...... Therefore, the bloody struggle between Emperor Mingde of the Uzbek State and the uncle and nephew of King Ren, the state religion of the Ugandan State, was left unattended, and later led to a mess.
Emperor Xiaocheng's intentions, Gui Shi'er understood tightly, the former clamped Mu Hao like this, naturally he respected the legacy of his ancestors, and wanted to wait for his remaining sons to be full-fledged, so that he would have the ability to compete with Mu Hao on the same starting line in the future. The truth of this dog-eat-dog, but it is inconvenient for Gui Shi'er to tell Mu Hao clearly, otherwise he will have to involve Jia Lishi in unnecessary incidents, and he is unwilling to get involved in the contradiction between Emperor Xiaocheng and Mu Hao's father and son.
Seeing that Gui Shi'er was still pretending to be deaf and dumb, how could Mu Hao not know his thoughts? Staring at him, he said in a deep voice: "The friendship between you and me is unusual, some words might as well be said more bluntly." In any case, in the eyes of my father or others, you and I are dependent on honor and disgrace, so why should you be taboo against this king?"
What he said was indeed true, and Gui Shi'er was silent for a moment before he said: "Xiaguan can have today, all thanks to the favor of the prince, please rest assured that the prince will never forget the prince's support." ”
These words have already expressed his attitude, but Mu Hao is still not satisfied, and said with a heavy face: "This king is honest, why is General Gui still so prevaricating? Is it because he thinks that this king is not sincere enough, or is General Gui is now what it used to be, and thinks that this king is unbearable?"
Gui Shi'er was secretly angry in his heart, his temperament was gloomy, and his face did not show any discoloration, but said: "Lord Wang, listen to the words of the lower officials." The prince's merits and prestige are well known to the world, although there are still several princes under the emperor's knees, but they are young and ignorant in all aspects inferior to the prince's case. It is precisely because of this that the prince unknowingly poses a threat to the emperor, and the emperor will be jealous, if the prince still insists like this, I am afraid that the emperor will be even more ......"
Mu Hao was shocked, his eyes burst with light, and there was no more alcohol on his face.
Gui Shi'er skipped the words behind him, paused and said: "It is a capital crime for the courtiers to talk about the holy things, and the lower officials' words today are also afraid that the prince will have some misunderstanding about me, so he has to do it, please listen to the prince, so as not to fall into the disloyalty of the officials." ”
Mu Hao's face sank like water, he poured himself a glass of wine, drank it slowly, and then said slowly: "I see." I see...... Return to the general, it is the king who is stupid, almost mistook you, and also mistook the king himself, this king apologizes to you, and please return to the general Mo blame. Then he asked, "What is the state of this king?" I don't know why General Gui taught me?"
Gui Shi'er said indifferently: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better for the prince to go with the flow and do nothing than anything...... The prince's virtue is clearly here, no matter what he says in the future, can those little princes still overshadow the prince?"
Mu Hao was a little disappointed, and asked again: "In addition, what is the best way to return to the general? Please keep in mind that "
What other way is there? Unless you kill your emperor Lao Tzu and become the emperor yourself. But this is unspeakable no matter what, he shook his head and said: "The lower officials are stupid and incompetent, and they can't share the worries of the prince, so please forgive the prince." ”
Mu Hao knew that he couldn't find any good remedies from Gui Shi'er, so he drank a few glasses of stuffy wine, and then got up and left depressed.
Out of the Great General's Mansion, Mu Hao was waiting to get in the car. Suddenly, a thin and slender young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly walked over. The little guy looked up at Mu Hao, and his expression suddenly became very panicked. In panic, he lowered his head and rushed into the palace of the Great General of the Patriotic State.
Mu Hao was puzzled, stared at this little guy, and vaguely felt a little familiar, but he didn't remember where he had seen it. He didn't think much about it at the time, got in the car and went out of the two streets, and suddenly remembered. His face couldn't help but change, and he lifted the curtain and shouted angrily: "Stop." ”
The accompanying guards were all startled, and they responded in unison, "What does the prince command?"
Mu Hao was furious, and shouted: "Give me the cheap maid who just entered the Great General's Mansion of the Great Guard......
He suddenly stopped again. His face was cloudy, and he thought for a while before he called his henchman Jiang Jun to the front and said in a deep voice: "You choose a few capable people for me to watch outside the Great General's Mansion, no matter where Gui Shi'er goes, you keep an eye on me and report his movements to me at any time." Be careful, you must not be detected by him. Also, no matter what you see, don't say a word, or you'll come to see me with your head on your own. ”
Jiang Jun replied awe-inspiringly: "Yes." ”
Mu Hao remembered that the little girl in Tsing Yi turned out to be Princess Lingji's personal palace maid, she came to the General Weiguo Mansion easily, and when she saw herself, she was so panicked and dodged, she didn't ask if she knew that there must be something unspeakable. Thinking about it, it is likely that Princess Lingji and Gui Shi'er had a private affair at some point, if this scandal leaks out, not only will the royal family lose face, but it will also cause an uproar, and it must be handled more carefully.
Early in the morning of the second day, Mu Hao entered the palace to greet the queen, and inadvertently asked about Princess Lingji's recent situation and daily life. Please keep in mind that the queen Princess Dao Lingji has been very good recently, but she often goes out of the palace to go to various Taoist temples to make incense, and today she also plans to go to Kaiyuan Temple to incense.
Mu Hao returned to his house, and it didn't take long for Jiang Jun to send someone to report that Daogui Shi'er went to Kaiyuan Temple alone without taking the servant.
At this point, Mu Hao could completely conclude the relationship between Princess Lingji and Gui Shi'er, and he was furious in his heart, smashed a vase, and threw the door out. In the eyes of others, Gui Shi'er is nothing less than his Mu Hao's arm, Princess Lingji has promised to marry Lin Yunzong, the grandson of Taiwei Lin Cong, and will get married in the next year. And the Lin family has a deep foundation in the army, and after turning against each other, they turned to support other princes, and Mu Hao's throne was in danger in the future.
Angry to the Kaiyuan Temple, from a distance to see a few palace guards and palace maids guarding in front of the main hall, Mu Hao's mind turned sharply, suppressed his anger and calmed his face, and approached silently.
The little girl in green clothes I saw yesterday had changed into a palace maid's costume, standing outside the gate of the main hall and looking around, and suddenly saw Mu Hao, and couldn't help but lose all the blood on his face. Just about to pretend to meet and shout a warning to An, Mu Hao had already seen through her thoughts, and quickly flew forward to restrain her, and said with a smile: "This king and the princess have had a deep relationship since childhood, and there is no need to report the ceremony, just take this king to see her." ”
Although the palace maids felt that Mu Hao's behavior was a little strange, no one dared to say anything, and let him carry the palace maid into the palace.
Behind the shrine, Princess Lingji was pressed on a column, the palace skirt was lifted around her waist, revealing her snow-white plump buttocks and slender legs, Gui Shi'er lay behind her, and her probe vigorously kneaded the pair of increasingly plump and slippery jade breasts in front, while moving quickly, she scolded: "I already told you last time, try not to meet if you have nothing to do, if you are so willful, sooner or later something will have to happen." ”
Princess Lingji's face was like fire. His eyes were full of desire, and he covered his lips tightly with one hand, so as not to arouse the invasion of pleasure and scream to alarm the people outside. waited until Gui Shi'er's movements slowed down a little, then he removed his hand and moaned softly: "I can't control myself, I think about you every day, oh...... If I can't see you for too long. I, oh, I'm afraid I'm going to go crazy if I can't help it, oh...... Please, slow down, oh, let me finish first...... Also, my father wanted me to marry Lin Yunzong as soon as possible, and I said that I was reluctant to leave my father and queen mother, so I postponed the marriage to the next year, if you still can't think of a solution. Then I will die in your house. ”
Gui Shi'er's breathing was also a little rough: "What's the use of you forcing me? This is your father's will, can I still change it...... There is only one way out of this situation. ”
Princess Lingji struggled to support her already limp body, swayed her snow hips to meet it, and asked with a heavy breath, "What way?"
Gui Shi'er said: "Kill him." ”
Princess Lingji was in love with adultery, so she just wanted to be able to stay with Gui Shi'er for a long time, and she didn't care about anything, so she said without hesitation: "Then you can kill him." ”
"What a pair of dogs and a man. Mu Hao lifted the curtain. His face turned pale, and he smiled angrily: "I'm going to kill you first." ”
"Big brother?" Princess Lingji was shocked and turned pale for a moment. I forgot about the humiliating situation in front of me.
Gui Shi'er was also shocked, and secretly blamed herself for indulging in lust and carelessness, so she quickly jumped up, quickly straightened her clothes, and pulled down her palace skirt in front of Princess Lingji to cover her shame.
Mu Hao's eyes seemed to hate to poke Gui Shi'er out of a big hole, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Dog minion." This king didn't see that you were such a daring dog. ”
Princess Lingji eagerly protected Gui Shi'er and begged: "Big brother, it's all mine, don't blame him." ”
Mu Hao scolded angrily: "Something that is not ashamed." Do you still have the face to intercede for him? Get out of the way. ”
When the matter came to an end, Gui Shi'er realized that she was not so frightened, pulled Princess Lingji away, and said slowly: "Lord, what are you going to do with me?"
Seeing that he seemed to have no fear, Mu Hao became more and more angry, and sneered: "Dog minion, this king will break your body into ten thousand pieces and it will also cheapen you, you come to ask this king how to deal with it? If you still have a little shame, you should cut it off yourself, and make a name for yourself with the face of the whole spirit discipline." ”
Gui Shi'er lowered his head and said, "What the prince said is that I understand what to do." ”
Princess Lingji was shocked: "No, you can't kill yourself." Big Brother ......"
She was about to plead with Mu Hao again, but Gui Shi'er suddenly swept forward and slashed Mu Hao's neck with a palm. Mu Hao is also very good, but he didn't want to return to Shi'er and dared to shoot at him, and he was caught off guard and was knocked unconscious.
Princess Lingji exclaimed, "You, what do you want to do......? No, no, he's my big brother, you must not kill him. ”
Gui Shi'er said quietly: "Don't worry, how can I kill him?" The prince is angry, and he can't listen to what we say, so I have to knock him out. ”
Princess Lingji said in disbelief: "Really, you won't lie to me, will you?" She knew a lot about Gui Shi'er's ruthlessness and unscrupulous means, and she couldn't help but be infatuated with him because of it.
Gui Shi'er comforted her and said, "Of course, what can you do if you kill your eldest brother? I can't escape death, why do you do such a stupid thing?"
Princess Lingji felt quite reasonable, so she put her mind at ease. Gui Shi'er said again: "You go back to the palace first, I am here to guard the prince." ”
Princess Lingji also knew that she should not stay for a long time, and asked Gui Shi'er to hold back her temperament, so as not to provoke Mu Hao to be thunderous again, so she went outside to rescue the personal palace maid who was thrown by Mu Hao on the ground of the main hall, and went nervously.
Sending Princess Lingji away, Gui Shi'er frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't think of how to deal with the situation in front of her. With Mu Hao's temperament, Gui Shi'er can be sure that if he does not commit suicide, Mu Hao may temporarily cover up the matter in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, and then try to get rid of himself secretly in the future, even if he is willing to abandon his official position and go incognito, Mu Hao will also hunt him down.
After thinking about it, Gui Shi'er decided to strike first, and simply killed Mu Hao first, as long as he concealed Mu Hao's death for a few days, he could take advantage of this time to sneak out of Da Chu, and no one would think about finding him again.
made up his mind, Gui Shi'er was about to start, and suddenly remembered that he should inform Chen Haoran of this in advance. He took out a hedron from his bosom and sank into his thoughts.
This spar is Chen Haoran in order to prevent Gui Shi'er from encountering accidental danger, and specially made a pair of anti-thinking machines, so that Gui Shi'er can find himself in a critical moment for timely rescue.
Learn about the situation here. Chen Haoran was surprised, and soon rushed to Kaiyuanguan, asked about the situation in detail, and frowned silently. Mu Hao, as the prince of Great Chu, is not so easy to kill, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If Emperor Xiaocheng sends a large number of worshippers to chase and kill, if Gui Shi'er loses his life for it, it will not be worth it.
After turning around a few times, Chen Haoran's eyes stayed on Mu Hao, and found that he was similar to Gui Shi'er's figure, and his heart couldn't help but move, and a thought suddenly came to mind.
On the Shadow Lake, although the cold wind is steep, there are still silk and bamboo orchestras singing and laughing endlessly. The lights are better than ever. Please keep in mind that the Qinglou opened by Our Lady of Dachu is a prosperous business and a large number of customers.
In a boudoir on the top floor of the painting boat of the Lane Shadow Building, the fire is warm and warm, and two picturesque beautiful women sit on the brocade couch to play a game, although there is string music and laughter vaguely into the room, but the two women do not listen, only quietly walk with their sons.
These two daughters are Lu Qi and Shu Qinghan. In the middle of the game, the two dragons are entangled. The situation of victory and defeat is difficult to know, Shu Qinghan frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Drop a sunspot in the corner. Lu Qi didn't want to think about it, picked up a white child and put it next to the sunspot, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly wanted to pick it up again.
Shu Qinghan didn't comply, and said angrily: "You have already regretted this game of chess three times, but you are not allowed to rely on the skin anymore." ”
Green eyes turned. He smiled slyly: "How can there be three times? Obviously, there are only two times, but you are mistaken." ”
How could Shu Qinghan be mistaken? Knowing that she was playing tricks again, she was angry and funny, and said: "Your chess skills are no worse than mine, but you are always absent-minded." If you don't take your heart back from somewhere else, I won't go with you. ”
Lu Qiqiao's face turned red, and she said stiffly: "How can my heart be somewhere else, talking nonsense." ”
The brocade curtain moved slightly, and a cold wind penetrated in, and a person stepped in, and said with a smile: "Where is Lu Qi's heart?"
Lu Qi turned back in surprise when she heard this, knocked over the chessboard when she got up eagerly, and regardless of the chess pieces scattered all over the ground, she threw herself into Chen Haoran's arms, and said with a dripping voice: "The master has not come to see people for so long, is it still disgusted that the concubine body has not served the good master?"
Chen Haoran hugged the soft and graceful delicate body in his arms, and felt slightly sorry in his heart, although he took Lu Qi into a forbidden body, he still left her in this fireworks place, and he only came a few times in a few months, which really left the beauty a little cold. The first probe stroked the back of the green jade and said in a harmonious voice: "I'm sorry, it's that I don't care enough about you." ”
Seeing Chen Haoran apologize to himself, Lu Qi's slight grievances suddenly disappeared, her smile bloomed like a flower, and she hugged him tightly and said: "The concubine body can not be accompanied by the master, the master is busy with affairs, and if you can occasionally come to see the concubine, the concubine will be satisfied." ”
Shu Qinghan also stepped forward, her beautiful eyes glanced at Chen Haoran with a hint of resentment, and said, "The concubine has seen the master." Although she was begged by Chen Haoran from Linghu Qingyan, Chen Haoran had not really included her in the room, she was famous but not real, and she was quite self-pitying.
Chen Haoran saw her thoughts, stretched out his hand to hold her to his chest, and said with a smile: "Is Xiao Nizi moved by spring?" Don't worry, I'll let you keep up with Luqi in the future." ”
He didn't move Shu Qinghan for the time being, and he had his own reasons. Since the beginning of the demonic desire, his cultivation has grown even faster, and in just a few months, he has soared from the early stage of condensing the infant to the late stage of the condensation of the infant, which is terrifyingly fast, and if he continues like this, he is afraid that it will not be long before he will break through the pass and condense the Yuan Shen.
Although the faster the cultivation increases, the demonic qi in the body will increase wildly, and the faster you may die, you must try to suppress the speed. Chen Haoran didn't care about it at all, he would be completely mad one day, and what difference would it make if it was later and earlier? But after all, the danger is not trivial, and the slightest negligence in cultivation will cause accidents, so Chen Haoran asked for the natural Shu Qinghan of the charming bones, so that when necessary, he can use her Yuan Yin to channel the demonic qi to tide over the danger.
Shu Qinghan heard Chen Haoran's ridicule, and couldn't help but be ashamed, happy and expectant, and said weakly with a red face: "The concubine is the master's person, and everything is up to the master." ”
Shu Qinghan's face is beautiful and refined, which is very different from Lu Qi's delicate and bright, at this time, the shy and timid style is extremely tempting, Chen Haoran only felt that the demonic energy and desire in his body were surging at the same time, and he almost lost control and wanted to correct her on the spot, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked. Thinking about it, the activities of demonic qi have become more and more frequent in recent days, and it is difficult to control, could it be that the primordial spirit is about to condense? If there is an abnormality in cultivation, it will not be good if you can't come to Shu Qinghan in time. He frowned and thought about it, and secretly didn't care about the thoughts of the big men in Murong Mansion, and said, "You guys will move to Murong Mansion today to live with me." ”
The second daughter was surprised and delighted, and Lu Qiden cheered: "Really, master, aren't you making us happy?"
Chen Haoran patted her buttocks and said with a smile: "Silly girl, do you say I'm a liar? ”
Lu Qi pretended to be afraid and said: "Master, the concubine knows that she is wrong, please spare the concubine." But there was a flattering look in her beautiful eyes. Chen Haoran's so-called family law is to take off his pants and spank, Lu Qi is too late to look forward to, how can he have the slightest fear?
Shu Qinghan's mind was much more delicate than that of Lu Qi, and after the surprise, he was slightly worried: "If we go to Murong Mansion, will it cause inconvenience to the master?"
Chen Haoran knew what she was worried about, and laughed: "Even if I say it, you don't have to worry about anything else...... Well, Linghu Boss Lady is here, I want to tell her something, what do you need to take away to clean up. ”
As soon as the words fell, Linghu appeared silently in the room. The second daughter knew that there were some things that she was not suitable to know, so she hurriedly called out to the Virgin, and then went obediently.
Although the Palace of Our Lady has been built, the owner Ling Hu Qingyan rarely lives in it, and most of the time still stays in a garden where he used to live on the shore of Nong Ying Lake. As soon as Chen Haoran arrived at the studio, she got a report from Ning Da, knowing that Chen Haoran had nothing to do but went to the Three Treasures Palace, and there must be something important when he came to find him, so he rushed over immediately.
Chen Haoran casually set up a soundproof array in the room, and said directly: "Do you have a way to turn one person into another?"
Hearing him say this, Ling Hu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what he meant, frowned and said: "It is impossible to turn one person into another person out of thin air, but it is okay if two people are exchanged for a pair of bodies." ”
Chen Haoran said happily: "Very good, this is enough, you teach me this method." "The relationship between them is delicate, and polite words can be dispensed with.
Linghu Qingyan shook his head apologetically: "It's not that I don't teach you, but even I don't know myself, my master has this ability." ”
Chen Haoran frowned and said, "Then can you ask your master for help?" This matter is very important to me. ”
Linghu Qingyan frowned, obviously quite embarrassed, and said half-loudly: "Since I entered the master's sect, I have never seen my master meet with outsiders, I don't know if she will be willing to make a move, so I can only ask first." (To be continued......)
