Guide to the Empress becoming a God

"The tyranny of pay and donations is fiercer than a tiger."

When he said these words, Xing Yutang's tone was still calm, but slightly lower than usual.

Although the tone of the conversation with Xing Suhan just now was blunt and blunt, without showing the slightest sympathy, it was even very embarrassing.

But in the face of his compatriot brother, Xing Yutang still unconsciously slowed down his tone.

Xing Yushan nodded slowly, as if he suddenly understood something.His calm expression began to become tense.

Xing Yutang showed no mercy this time, and said in a low voice, "The Eye of Canglang has disappeared."

When he finished speaking, the door of the study opened automatically, and Xing Yutang stepped out.

The light outside the house suddenly shone into the dim study room, reflecting on Xing Yushan's shocked and unable to recover his face.

He stared blankly at Xing Yutang's back disappearing into the light, and suddenly felt that his always upright back looked a little tired today.

Xing Yushan staggered a few steps forward: "Yutang...I..."

At this moment Xing Yushan finally felt a slight chill rising from behind.

He suddenly understood why Xing Yutang said those things to him that day.

The truth, his father taught them both brothers at the same time, but he just kept it in his heart.

Xing Yutang is doing it all the time.

"Sorry, I didn't get things done according to your instructions."

In the back garden of the inner house of the Xing Mansion, there is a water lily pond that is evergreen in three seasons. In the center of the water lily pond is a small artificially filled island, and a two-story octagonal pavilion is built on the island.

On the eight sides of the first floor of the Bajiao Pavilion, each door is inlaid with a pair of ink paintings formed by natural marble patterns. There are jackdaws perched on plum blossoms, lonely deer looking at the moon, and monks lying on cliff platforms.

The eight sides of the second floor are all inlaid with white glaze. Standing on it, you can enjoy the day and night scenery of the lotus pond.

All the sixteen cornices of the entire octagonal pavilion are hung with golden bells. When the wind blows across the water, the golden bells swing lightly like chime bells, which makes people feel refreshed and tranquil.

This Xing Mansion is not Xingyun Palace, it is Xing Suhan's mansion.

Xing Yan paid for it and built it specially for him. Since Xing Suhan married his wife and started a family, he moved here from Xingyun Palace to live here.

At this moment, in the beautiful octagonal pavilion in the back garden, Xing Suhan was standing in front of the steps of the second-floor attic, replying respectfully.

In the center of the attic on the second floor, there is a large screen like Canglang Que.

The difference is that this screen has only six sides, stretched with jet-black satin, and embroidered a corner of the lotus pond with gold thread.

The black bottom and the gold thread on the eyes give people a mysterious and noble feeling.

The person Xing Suhan was talking to was behind this black screen.

After he finished the sentence just now, he waited for a while, but he didn't see the other party opening his mouth, so he continued: "The matter of distributing bacon was supposed to move Xing Yushan, Duyin Xing Yutang was also present today, if he didn't interfere , Xing Yushan will definitely not reject my request."

"Do not."

A man's voice came from behind the screen. He sounded a little old, but at most he was in his early forties.

But this voice is exceptionally nice, a little heavy, and has a soft ending. It is a thing called "tone", which is the easiest symbol to imprint an unforgettable logo on a person.

For example, the waist of Master Mei Lanfang, for example, the bronze sculpture of Sri Lanka, for example...the scent of bacon that is popular in Canglang City.

The man behind the screen opened his mouth, giving people this feeling.

He only said one word, simple and powerful.

Xing Suhan didn't dare to speak anymore, and stood respectfully with his head bowed, like a good grandson listening to his ancestors.

"Even if Xing Yushan agrees to your proposal, it is impossible to continue to implement your plan."

"Not only will the free bacon not stand up, even the increase in payment you proposed before will be stopped soon. And this time, you will not persuade Xing Yushan again."

Xing Suhan raised his head in surprise, looked at the black screen and asked, "Why?"

"Because Xing Yutang has discovered that the Eye of the Canglang cannot be used. He has a different personality from Xing Yushan. He will immediately take any countermeasures that can save the Eye of the Canglang. In this regard, I appreciate this child's attitude." ability and determination.”

Of course he knew what happened in Xingyun Palace today, and also knew that Xing Suhan hit a hard nail in front of Xing Yutang.

But the man obviously doesn't care about Xing Suhan's feelings.

Xing Suhan's expression was distorted due to anger and unwillingness, and he looked a little ferocious, but he endured it, and his tone was still humble and respectful:

"Then what should we do next, please show me, my lord."

The man was silent for a while, and said: "Don't go to Xing Yushan because of these things for the time being, so as not to make him suspicious of you. You can't arouse your two cousins' ideas yet."

"Yes!" Xing Suhan responded respectfully.

The man continued: "Recently, don't worry about the affairs of the city, go out for a walk."

Xing Suhan was a little surprised: "My lord means..."

I heard that there is a Jinyun Village near here.

Xing Suhan frowned and began to think carefully.

There are so many Zhuangzi, large and small, near Canglang City. At his level, he usually only deals with the guards who manage the territories outside the city, and does not personally ask about the specific matters of those small Zhuangzi.

Seeing that Xing Suhan didn't speak, the man said: "It's not hard to find this Zhuangzi, you can ask someone to find out. Find Jinyun Zhuang and ask the Zhuang about a woman whose birth mother's surname is Ji."

Xing Suhan responded, and asked, "Have you found it and brought it to your lord?"

After a moment of silence behind the screen, he said in a low voice, "Find someone, cut out his heart, and bring it here."

"Yes!"

Xing Suhan walked down the attic expressionlessly and left this exquisite octagonal pavilion.

As soon as he left, the space around the big black screen shook slightly, as if separated by the deformed air that had been scorched by fire.

Between the lotus leaves embroidered with gold thread, living creatures crawled quickly.

There are black scorpions walking through the mud on the bank.

The black spider hangs down from behind the lotus leaf and is dangled by the spider silk.

The double-headed snake coils up along the long stem of the lotus leaf.

A toad covered with tumors crawls slowly from the pond to the lotus leaf
On the fan of the six-sided screen, there is a live black reptile on each black embroidered painting.

There are still two screens embroidered and quiet.

After a long silence behind the screen, the man's voice sounded again, whispering to himself.

"What's the use of sending bacon?"

After saying this, there was a silence for a while, a tall figure appeared on the pitch-black screen, and a slender finger gently tapped each of the four living screen embroidery.

Then that nice voice laughed softly: "Heh, since I don't know what you want to do, I'll take care of this cute little cat first."

"I think you should be interested in this, and I look forward to meeting you again."

"Yanyan, long time no see."
