Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 688 687. Changed, but not changed
"who!"

In the middle of the night, Hongying shouted angrily, without even thinking about it, she immediately pulled out two short chain knives hidden at her waist, and approached Yang Tong.

Before Yang Tong could react, the two spirit chasing blades were already spinning around Yang Tong and herself under the traction of chains and qi.

Then I heard the movement of the ground and stones squeezing outside.

After a while, it was completely quiet.

But immediately the guards of the entire East Palace began to gather in this direction.

Hongying still didn't move, the two short blades seemed to be consciously pulled by the air in the air, spinning endlessly.

until……

"My lord, the assassin has been captured by my subordinates!"

The short blade returns to its sheath instantly.

The long skirt covered the belt around the waist, and Hongying once again took on the appearance of the Eastern Palace Neiguan's Palm.

After glancing at Yang Tong who was still in shock, she nodded slightly:
"Your Highness..."

"Uh... um... Hongying, hurry up, let Gu go and see who is so bold!"

Hearing this, Hongying walked quickly to the gate of the palace, and when she opened the door, she saw guards in full-body attire holding swords in both hands to salute.

She subconsciously wanted to laugh.

But it quickly collapsed.

This attire...is the attire of a guard from the recruitment hall.

The Recruiting Hall was established by Yang Tong to imitate the previous dynasty and recruit talents from all over the world.

It is said that it is recruiting talents... In fact, there are all kinds of people.

Nothing serious.

Those with real skills were secretly forced away by her.

So, after a few months, this guard named "Jing Shou" came out.

He was brought to Yang Tong by Hongying.

And when Yang Tong saw the long sword in the Jing guard's hand stabbing forward, it looked like a big cone of earth and rock protruding from the ground, so he immediately asked several guards around him to ask him for some tricks.

But the problem is...

Shoujing has already realized the Tao.

Almost in the blink of an eye, these defenders were trapped by earth and rocks and could no longer move.

Yang Tong asked some of Huang Xizi's godsons to try again.

As a result, it took a stick of incense forcibly to break through the "cage" made up of several stones around Shoujing.

Yang Tong was overjoyed, and with Hongying's encouragement, he was directly regarded as his bodyguard.

I thought I found a treasure.

But I don't know... Shou Jing's belly is about to burst from laughter.

On Yang Tong's side, this guard named Jing Shou is simply the template for all guards.

He never seemed to get tired, and he stood by his side reservedly and professionally.

Silent and reticent.

Seems to be in a daze all the time.

There is not much to do.

Loyal, hardworking.

this is amazing.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that when this guard named Jing Shou was in a daze, he was usually watching how Li Shouchu flirted with his sister.

Then I crazily shouted "full warehouse", "full warehouse" in my mind.

No, today's guardian Jing has made another contribution.

Grab a masked man trapped in a cage made of boulders.

Hongying suppressed a smile and asked:

"Guard Jing, what's going on?"

Shoujing suppressed a smile, and pointed to the cage:

"My lord, this person's concealment skills are extraordinary. If it weren't for his subordinates' sharp eyes and ears, he would have been able to hide it from him. He was able to sneak into this palace with sneakiness. This person... can't be underestimated. "

"Oh?"

Hongying took a look at the masked man who was not struggling after being trapped, and shouted directly:
"Attack the East Palace at night, you are so courageous! Tell me, who sent you here!"

"..."

The corner of Shou Jing's mouth twitched...

Who will tell you this?

Tell me, can you believe it?

What's the use of asking...

Unexpectedly...

With a "whoosh", something suddenly flew in front of Hongying.

Not too hard, not too fast.

After Hongying took it, she took a look, but found that it was a brand with a strange... dragon pattern on it.

The word "Imperial Gift" is written on the back.

Hongying's expression froze.

After thinking about it, she quickly turned her head and walked into the study with a sign.

Then, Yang Tong walked out with her.

"Guard Jing, let him go."

"...Your Highness?"

Shou Jing was taken aback.

"Let him go, and then...you go down first."

"……Yes."

Shou Jing responded, and with a wave of his hand, all the earth and rocks disappeared.

Holding the sword, he passed the silent man, not forgetting to show a wave of hatred, and let out a cold snort of disdain:

"Humph!"

The screen was completely finished by him.

Then, after he walked out of the palace gate, he waved to the group of imperial guards outside:

"His Royal Highness has orders, all retreat."

"Yes."

Everyone started to retreat, while Shoujing leaned against the door, his ears pricked up.

He came from the leylines, as long as the people over there keep their feet on the ground, all the movements cannot be hidden from him, so he heard the conversation very naturally:
"You are Candle Dragon?"

???

Hearing this title, Shou Jing felt nervous for a while.

But he immediately realized that what Zhulong was talking about should be the mysterious organization monitoring Baiqisi.

But...they didn't monitor Baiqisi well, why did they come here suddenly?
Just thinking about it, I heard a low voice:
"Your Highness, there is some movement in Wagang. After His Majesty's dragon body is not safe, the queen ordered us to temporarily release the surveillance of Baiqisi, and instead secretly investigate the movements of the rebels. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wagang once again Recruit troops and start training. By the time the subordinates received the information, they had increased by [-] troops, and they were gathering in Xingyang and heading towards Luokou."

"What did you say!?"

Yang Tong's voice began to tremble.

Then, Shou Jing heard a voice:
"Hong... Hongying, this..."

"Your Highness, please be safe... Is the news true?"

The hoarse voice sounded again:
"The Baiqisi should be behind, and the news will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest."

"...Do you know how many soldiers there are?"

"I don't know for the time being. I'm only ordered to bring back the information as soon as possible. The rest of the detailed information needs to be brought back by Bai Qisi."

"...Okay, you take this sign. If you have any information in the future, the gate of the East Palace can't help it. Don't disturb His Highness so suddenly. Go down."

"..."

The hoarse voice disappeared.

Then, Hongying's words sounded:

"Your Highness, let's go in and talk."

When the voice fell, Shou Jing heard the door closing.

Soon, the man walked out of the palace.

After seeing Shou Jing standing with his sword in his arms, he didn't say anything, one step at a time, a few steps, and he disappeared.

Only then did Shou Jing walk back to the palace, but his face was full of emotion.

Especially when I heard "Hongying, Gu, what should I do, who should I send" came from the study...

Ugh……

Amazing.

He shook his head slightly.

According to Hongying's words, since Zhang Xutuo's death, Yang Tong's spine seemed to be broken.

With no support, I panicked.

And when the news came that Yang Guang's physical condition took a turn for the worse and he might not be able to return to Luoyang after the next year.

He no longer has the confidence he had when he dared to design a family and cause internal strife.

To put it bluntly, everything has become timid, and Yang Guang's education has long been forgotten.

Everything depends on Hongying.

It felt... as if Hongying was going to empty him out.

Sometimes Hongying's words are even better than Yang Tong's.

Just think about it.

If things go on like this, will Yang Tong still be able to do well?
but……

It must also be admitted that Hongying does have wrists.

Shou Jing has never been in contact with Sun Jingchan, so he can't directly determine who Sun Jingchan is based on Li Zhen's memory.

But in terms of this skill, he really felt that Hongying was no worse than Sun Jingchan.

But the more this happened, the more pitiful Yang Tong seemed...

It's really useless...

Gee.

……

Jiangdu.

"This man is pretending to be three-point dementia to prevent death, leaving seven points to earn a living..."

Li Zhen, who was talking to himself, suddenly paused.

On the bed, Master Huqiu, who was already drowsy, frowned slightly.

It seemed very dissatisfied that the voice was cut off.

But just as he was about to open his eyes, he heard a cough:
"Ahem...why do you say that? You see, people, you can't be too smart..."

The chattering sound sounded again.

The woman frowned.

About half an hour later, after hearing the sound of steady breathing, Li Zhen walked out with gentle and quiet steps.

Wrapped in golden light, without any movement, he had already walked out of Mr. Huqiu's room.

Now that things have happened, it's no secret that Li Zhen has to go to Mr. Huqiu's house every night in this courtyard.

Think about it, two foxes have very clever ears.

But after becoming friends with these two foxes, Mu Yan's mouth seemed to be uninhibited, and she said everything to Little Cui Nvxia.

Xue Rulong is not new.

He wished that Li Zhen could spend twelve hours a day coaxing him to sleep by his side.

I feel that as long as adults have a good rest, there will be nothing wrong with their bodies.

So, even if it's easy for people to think wrong when he does this, no one cares about it.

but……

Xue Rulong was a little surprised today.

Looking at the Taoist standing at the door, he blinked his sore eyes and asked:
"Is there something wrong with the Taoist priest?"

Li Zhen nodded and said:

"There is some news from Shoujing. It's from Zhulong..."

After recounting the news he got from there, he suddenly paused and said in a low voice:

"Who should be sent to resist this matter, so far there is no result. Shou Jing asked me to ask you who I think is more suitable."

"..."

Xue Rulong frowned:

"What? To resist the Wagang Army?"

Li Zhen rolled his eyes directly:

"You just ask me to kill Li Mi. The Wagang Army is asking whose life you put in it! Find a corrupt official, dirty official, or some kind of heinous person...give me the list, and I will Ask Shoujing to borrow a knife from Hongying and kill someone."

"Uh……"

Xue Rulong woke up like a dream.

Maybe it's also really confusing to deal with these things in the middle of the night.

Only then did I realize my responsibility.

But at this time, it can actually be seen... In terms of resourcefulness, Xue Rulong is far behind.

But the victory lies in handling things in a stable manner, so as not to go too far.

So Mr. Huqiu is very relieved to leave the matter to him.

After thinking about it, he got up and started rummaging on the shelf behind him.

One after another, the roster was brought over.

There are some things recorded on it that cannot be seen.

Li Zhen quickly reminded again:
"Don't be too weak, you can't increase the power of the Wagang Army."

"It's okay, I told the adults about it."

Xue Rulong shook his head:
"There will be a battle between Zhai Rang and Li Mi, and internal strife in Wagang will happen sooner or later. It has already been planned."

"..."

Hearing this, Li Zhen suddenly said:
"You can't just rely on adults."

Xue Rulong flicked the booklet for a moment...

But he didn't look up.

He didn't retort like he did before.

Instead, he responded with a voice...with an indescribable tone:
"Ah."

Li Zhen was also speechless.

Just sit by and wait quietly.

After waiting for less than half an hour, Xue Rulong, who had stayed up all night with red eyes, finally wrote a list.

Li Zhen took it and took a look.

The first to bear the brunt is Huben Lang's general Liu Changgong.

Without Li Zhen asking, he said on his own:
"The credit can't be great, but it can't be small either. It's enough to make Li Mi's prestige prominent. Have you seen Pei Renji's name?"

"Ah."

"Qin Qiong is with him now."

"..."

Li Zhen's eyes suddenly became strange:

"you……"

"How about you do me a favor?"

"……Tell me."

"Send a letter to Qin Qiong, and I will find a way to delay Pei Renji and force him to rebel. If Li Mi wants to develop and grow, he will definitely give him courtesy. And Qin Qiong will definitely kill Li Mi if he wants to avenge Zhang Xutuo. So... ...I hope you can write him a letter and ask him to join Wagang first."

"Are you going to let the second brother do the work?"

Li Zhen immediately understood his thoughts.

Xue Rulong nodded:

"That's right! Wagang isn't in harmony either. Sooner or later, the generals who can fight, led by Shan Xiongxin who killed Zhang Xutuo, will find out about the matter between Li Mi and the national division. The two armies are facing each other, regardless of life or death. Therefore, this matter is based on According to Qin Qiong's information, he can't blame Shan Xiongxin. What's more... When he was in a hurry to save Luo Shixin, he fought with Shan Xiongxin and bet against Luo Shixin's life. He lost, Ben He should have died with Luo Shixin..."

Li Zhen's expression immediately became strange again.

Although he already knew the news about the second brother...

That morning, the second brother rushed to Dahai Temple with five hundred riders.

I saw Shan Xiongxin cleaning the battlefield.

He only rides five hundred horses, but he wants to avenge Zhang Xutuo.But after launching the charge, the five hundred riders were blown up by the flying dragon torch and turned on their backs.

But Shan Xiongxin felt that the second brother was interesting, and after arresting him, he asked him why he came.

Not only did he admit that he killed Zhang Xutuo, but he also brought Luo Cheng to his second brother.

With the mentality of sacrificing life and forgetting death but having to be inhumane, Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin gambled against each other.

Bet on Luo Cheng's life with his own life.

I won Shan Xiongxin by myself, so I won't kill him, but I will take Luo Cheng away.

And if he loses, he can kill or kill him at will.

The end result is obvious.

The second brother lost, but Shan Xiongxin didn't kill him, he just let him go and took Luo Cheng away.

Tell the second brother that he wants to save Luo Cheng, and he is waiting for you at any time.

If he can win, Luo Cheng can leave whenever he wants.

So, the second brother switched to Pei Renji.

He knew the news.

But now... you let the second brother be the second and fifth boy?

Let's not say whether I am happy or not...

"You think he can agree?"

"As long as he wants revenge! After all, the death of Zhang Xutuo cannot be blamed on Shan Xiongxin, but on Li Mi and the national teacher, isn't it?"

"...So, what do you want him to do?"

"I haven't figured it out yet."

After hearing this, Xue Rulong shook his head:
"But... I think there must be many loyal people in Wagang. In the future... we will confront them sooner or later."

"..."

This time, Li Zhen really looked at Xue Rulong with admiration.

Leaving aside "historical inevitability".

"Is this all your own thinking?"

"Ah."

"..."

Xue Rulong, yes.

His eyes were full of surprise.

Then nodded:
"Okay, I'll help you."

With that said, he walked to the table.

Xue Rulong naturally gave way to him.

Picking up the brush, he thought about the blank letter in front of him, and wrote:

"Second brother, how are you?"...

After a while, he finished writing the letterhead and handed it to Xue Rulong.

"OK?"

"Ah."

Xue Rulong rubbed his sore eyes, and responded:
"It's work."

"..."

Li Zhen was taken aback again.

He took a look at him, then shook his head suddenly:

"General Xue...has changed a lot."

"Has it changed?"

Xue Rulong thought about it after hearing this, and suddenly a kind of regret appeared on his rough face:
"Perhaps it would be better to change earlier."

full of melancholy.

with remorse.

But at this moment, a slap hit him on the shoulder.

Li Zhen's voice sounded in the quiet room:
"Don't worry, I'm here."

"..."

Xue Rulong turned his head and glanced at his burning eyes. He had clearly realized the Tao, but he still couldn't see any mastery demeanor on his body...

But he seemed to be the same Taoist with shining eyes as when the two first met.

After he froze for a moment... smiled and nodded:
"Well, then everything will be up to Mr. Lao Dao."

　Apologies again for yesterday's interruption.It's really inexplicable that I fell asleep until this morning... I'm really sorry.It has been interrupted 4 times this month, which is too inappropriate.sorry!
