chasing shadow

Xing Yu raised his head and glanced at Fang Kuo, his eyes were serious with a slight smile, probably because he was already warm enough, he was lazily lying on the edge of the table, playing with the glass of water that hadn't completely cooled down with one hand, The other hand rested on his chin, and his entire face was written - don't ask any more, it's useless to ask.

Fortunately, when I saw this, I knew that I was going to ask something again, and it was better to rely on myself, so I didn't talk.He looked at his reflection in the tea in the cup, but for a moment he was a little vague about himself, and then drank it in one gulp, sitting opposite Fang Kuo, watching him quietly all the time.

But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't get what he wanted after all.

Upstairs, You Chenshu didn't say anything persuasive to Liu Ke, but seemed to provoke Liu Ke on purpose. Liu Ke's voice became louder and his anger became heavier, but he still didn't stop him at all. The floor that could not stop the sound, but now nothing leaked out.

Liu Ke yelled out all the anger he had been holding back for the past few months: "...my father, there is no rebellion."

You Chenshu smiled and said, "I believe it, but what about others, will they believe it? If you don't look for your father right now, I guarantee you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Seeing that he didn't speak, You Chenshu said to himself: "If you go looking for him now, if he really rebels, when the time comes to force the capital to take the throne, maybe you can replace... ..., it will be different when you become a prince, so you don't have to suffer yourself here..."

Liu Ke roared again: "I said, my father did not rebel, and he will never rebel. The emperor was deceived by the villain, but I believe that all this is temporary, and one day, he will After checking it out, I will go into the palace and tell him..."

For a long time, You Chenshu just looked at him without saying a word.

Liu Ke cried out, holding back his tears in front of Changqing, holding back his tears when he was wandering, holding back in front of Xingyu, but he couldn't help it now, he said: "My father, He is the general of the Great Song Dynasty, the strongest barrier for the mountains and rivers. Just like the armor on the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, he is the emperor's favorite younger brother. Anyone who is civil and military in the Manchu Dynasty can rebel, and he will rebel, but he will not."

You Chenshu said: "No matter how much you talk to me, it is useless. Even if you persuade me, there are so many people in the world with so many mouths, you have to persuade them one by one? Besides, you are so sure , Then why didn't you go directly to Jiayuguan to find him, why did you run back to the capital, who do you want to find to intercede for him? You are still afraid, because you are afraid, so you dare not go at all, you are afraid to go, and seeing Hou Ye really reversed...

What will you do then?Do you accompany your father to kill the emperor who used to hold you on his shoulders to watch the horse race, and help you ascend to the supreme throne in the capital; or... take advantage of the unpreparedness and kill your father with your own hands, and then carry your father's head to the emperor? Asking for credit in front of you to prove your loyalty?Then beg him to let you go?This is why you dare not go! "

You Chenshu didn't want to talk to him about this, he was still a child.

But who is not a child, often grows up overnight.

Liu Ke was silent for a long time: "...I'll go"

"I will let someone protect you along the way"

Liu Ke took a sniff, as if he had returned to his youth, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Uncle Chen."

You Chenshu came here not only for Xingyu, but for the magic talisman.

Hou Ye has been guarding the border for many years. In this shaky mountain and river, there are tigers, wolves, and foxes, but he has never been defeated.

It is rumored that the emperor actually had 11 brothers when he was young, but after he ascended the throne, only Min Anhou remained.

Because the emperor of the dynasty felt that he didn't seem to be too much of a threat, he just found a reason to send his last younger brother away and sent him to the frontier to be garrisoned. It really didn't sound very good.What's the matter with keeping a trash and pawning tens of thousands of spitting stars for him, why not do it.

He also led a group of remnant soldiers to the Bianjiang to garrison.

However, just ten years ago, the Jinren led an army of 30 to invade. The emperor retreated again and again, and finally he was ready to hand over the throne to others. A remnant soldier killed more than 2000 armored soldiers of the Jinren, and became famous in the first battle.

If it is not for external force, even with the help of gods, it will not be able to reach it.

You Chenshu suspected at the time that this person must have a magic talisman in his hand, otherwise 30 people could easily trample to death these 2000 people just by stepping on them.

He asked Yuan Qing to take Liu Ke to Jiayuguan. Of course, he knew that Wang Min was a wimp, not to mention rebellion, even if he beat a son, he would look at his wife's face, so how could he rebel.

Unless, someone wants to take something from him.

And You Chenshu thinks that Liu Ke is the most unfavorable in the capital. First, he is too emotional, and he has experienced few things in his youth, so he will definitely be unable to hold on later; second, enough people have died. He is the only one left at home.

Fang Kuo and You Chenshu stood side by side by the upstairs window, and he could vaguely see Liu Ke's back, Fang Kuo said, "It's fine to leave, the capital is gone, the world is so big, where is not home, This capital, it doesn't matter if you don't come back."

You Chenshu said: "Yeah, when the time comes, the two of you might be able to hug each other and cry together, but it's better than one person breaking a tooth and swallowing it in your stomach. If Master Hou still If I can be smarter, I will take my son far away. Anyway, I guess he will not be able to clear up the crime of being a traitor and thief in this life. If I take my son far away, I can live in peace. A lifetime is pretty good, but... I'm afraid that he is a dead-headed person, and it will be difficult to handle at that time."

Fang Kuo said, "Don't be afraid, he is."

You Chenshu rolled his eyes at him, changed the subject and said, "How did you go to check just now?"

"As you think."

You Chenshu asked Fang Kuojin to sneak into the palace quietly, to find out why the emperor didn't even want the last bit of fame, and even dispatched troops from all over the country to encircle and suppress Min'an, who has only less than [-] troops so far. king.Unless the emperor is about to die, there is no other solution.

Fang Kuo entered the palace and found that the emperor should have passed away a long time ago, but he can still play in the harem. Sure enough, as long as there is power and means in this world, there is nothing that cannot be done, including longevity.

The magic talisman happens to be composed of hundreds or thousands of demon spirits, and the souls of living people can be used to share with the demon spirits through the magic talisman. Although the income is not much, it is always enough to kill one person and continue for a month.

And what the emperor lacks the most is human life.

But how did the emperor know that the magic talisman had the effect of absorbing souls?

That night, there was a lot of rain. It was not a warm time at all. The rain can be called the most annoying time. The capital is originally seldom rainy. God always likes to tease people by surprise. They also hide under the eaves when they meet, and enter when they see a place with lights on. Everyone is not surprised about this, and who cares who you are.

There are more and more people standing in the inn. Those who have spare money can come in for a sip of hot tea. Those who have no money can only lean against the door to keep warm. No one noticed that a man in a black shirt entered the inn. , a man who looks frail and frail, at a glance, he is probably a poor scholar hiding from the rain, but with sharp eyes, he can see that there is a jade ring finger on his right hand that is not completely covered. The thick and oily family didn't have such a thing in their hands.

Even if there is, I dare not bring it.

This is Zhao Qi, the present prince.If you are thick-skinned, You Chenshu is his lifesaver.

You Chenshu sat in the corner and looked at him.Every move in the crowd is polite, neither rushing to push the crowd away nor slack in waiting for You Chenshu, walking slowly.

Fortunately, Yu suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment in front of individuals.

It's like, some people are born with certain things, this person is like this, everything is just at that point, even if this person has the best things, no one will be jealous.

"It's not a convenient place to come here. If you don't mind, I also have a simple room in the capital where I can stay temporarily."

You Chenshu has been thick-skinned since ancient times. Others braved the heavy rain just to invite him to live in their own house. Luckily for him, once the rain stopped, he took the whole family directly to his place without being polite at all. .

The favor of saving life will surely be repaid by springs, this is what Zhao Qi said to him back then, and he has not forgotten a single word.

You Chenshu pulled his tattered white fan to cover his mouth, and leaned into Fang Kuo's ear and said, "Repaying kindness should be done as early as possible. I'm in such a rush to give him a chance to repay my kindness, I should It’s kind, isn’t it, Brother Fang.”

Fang Kuo pulled his arm to push him away, You Chenshu intentionally splashed on a puddle of water, splashed on his white clothes, and ran away quickly.

Fortunately, Yu saw it.

The author has something to say:

I finally have something like a manuscript, so excited~
