At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 609 Jiangdu Palace Change

Qinglian Nunnery is not located in Jiangdu City, but is located on a hillside by the river in the southeast suburb of the city. Although it occupies a small area, it is very quiet and elegant, with green trees and green bamboos.

Tonight is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, a round of bright moon hangs in the middle of the sky, the moonlight is like clear frost scattered all over the ground.There are several clumps of Arhat bamboo planted in the backyard of Qinglian Nunnery, and the bamboo shadows sway under the moonlight, making it look extraordinarily quiet.At this moment, a middle-aged nun was sitting cross-legged on the futon under the Arhat bamboo, holding a string of beads, chanting with her eyes closed, as if she was chanting scriptures.

The moonlight is like water, and the nun is wearing a gray monk's hat. She has fair skin, soft facial contours, beautiful appearance and still charming charm. It can be seen that she was definitely a great beauty when she was young.

At this time, the moonlight suddenly dimmed, and a man in black with a golden mask silently jumped up the courtyard wall, tapped his toes lightly, floated to the ground, and walked in front of the nun without any dust on his feet.

The man in black didn't disturb the nun's chanting, but just stood there and watched quietly until the nun finished her recitation.

The nun opened her eyes and saw the man in black, and she didn't seem surprised at all. Her eyes were beautiful, big and bright, as clear and gentle as spring water, and one couldn't help but be addicted to them.

"Tan Lang is here." The nun said softly.

The man in black nodded, took off his cloak and tied it on the nun's body, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "It's not spring yet, the weather is cold, why are you out in the yard at night? Carefully, you caught a cold."

A slight surprise flashed in the nun's eyes, and she said softly: "I'm a little upset tonight and can't sleep, so I went out to chant scriptures to calm my mind, but Tan Lang came so late, but what's the matter?"

The man in black shook his head and said, "It's just that I really want to see you, Ruyu."

The name of this middle-aged nun is Yuwen Ruyu, and she is the third daughter of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. She also has two older sisters named Yuwen Ruhua and Yuwen Ruyue.

Yuwen Ruyu smiled and said: "The moonlight tonight seems to be brighter than last night. Since Tan Lang is here, let's watch the moon with my concubine."

"Alright!" The man in black nodded, turned around and walked away.

A strange look flashed in Yuwen Ruyu's eyes again, and he walked side by side with the man in black, asking as he walked, "Did Tan Lang forget what day it is today?"

"What day... isn't today the sixteenth day of the first lunar month?" The man in black's eyes flickered.

Yuwen Ruyu walked forward without saying a word, the man in black coughed lightly and asked, "Ruyu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." The nun shook her head and continued on her way.

The man in black's eyes flashed, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and raised it, "Ruyu, what do you think it is?"

Yu Wenzhao Ruyu's complexion changed drastically when he saw it, and he blurted out, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

The man in black said indifferently: "I was also about to ask you, whose jade pendant is this? Who is Yuwen Daoxin?"

The voice of the man in black has changed at this time, into a female voice as cold as green frost.

Yuwen Ruyu covered her mouth in surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "Tan Lang, you..."

The man in black took off his mask, revealing a handsome face, it was Yang Qingruo.

"Yuwen Ruyu, stop pretending, I know you've already seen me through, and don't think that someone will come to rescue you, now there are Feiyu Guards outside." Yang Qingruo said calmly.

The panic on Yuwen Ruyu's face gradually faded away, and she said calmly: "This girl should be the Chief Qing of Feiyuwei, right? She is really a beautiful woman with an overwhelming beauty, such a beauty, after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, she will not know Who will it fall into?"

Yang Qingruo said calmly: "You don't need to worry about this, you should worry about yourself."

Yuwen Ruyu smiled and said: "The poor nun has already experienced what you are about to experience, so there is nothing to worry about."

"You haven't experienced death yet, aren't you afraid of death?"

"The poor nun should have died a long time ago. It is enough to live a few decades longer."

Yang Qingruo's face gradually became serious, and it could be seen that Yuwen Ruyu was very calm and composed. She was indeed not afraid of death. This kind of person was the most difficult to deal with. She frowned and said, "I'm curious, you How did you find out about me?"

Yuwen Ruyu smiled and said: "Your body shape, posture and movements are perfectly imitated, and your voice is flawless. It can be seen that Director Qing's ventriloquist is indeed very superb, but there are some things you can't imitate."

"Like what?"

"For example, you don't know what day it is today."

"Oh, could it be the day when you and the owner of Jinghua Shuiyue Building made love?"

Yuwen Ruyu's eyes turned cold, and she said sharply: "That is the anniversary of my father's death. Your grandfather Yang Jian, who was originally a subject of my father's emperor, took away my Yuwen family and killed all the men in my Yuwen family. Ding, everyone in your Yang family deserves to die, every year on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the poor nun will chant scriptures and curse your Yang family, and curse you all to die a bad death."

Yang Qingruo couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart, Yuwen Ruyu's eyes were originally big and beautiful, and as gentle as water, but at the moment they were full of viciousness, as straight as a poisonous snake, making people feel like a thorn in their backs.

"Does the curse work?" Yang Qingruo asked coldly, frowning.

Yuwen Ruyu smiled strangely: "Of course it is useful. Don't you think that the Sui Dynasty is about to perish? All the men in the Yang family will die. This is the cycle of heaven, and this is karma."

Yang Qingruo said coldly: "You are dreaming."

Yuwen Ruyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are still young, you will see with your own eyes how the Sui Dynasty perished, and how the descendants of the Yang family were killed, just like me back then, your appearance It's not a good thing to look too beautiful, maybe you will become a plaything of tyrants vying to ravage and vent their desires, life would be worse than death."

Yang Qingruo's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "You want to provoke me so that I can kill you with a single sword. It's too naive. Tell me, who is Tanlang and Yuwen Daoxin you are talking about? Could it be The fish that slipped through the net of your Yuwen family?"

Yuwen Ruyu sneered back: "Do you think I'll tell you? It's too naive."

Yang Qingruo frowned and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, then let your Tan Lang come to the door automatically." After speaking, he pointed a sword and slashed at the side of Yuwen Ruyu's neck, and the latter fainted in response.

When Yuwen Ruyu woke up, she found that she had been tied to a chair, and the surrounding furnishings were very familiar. It was her own room. It had been turned into a mess at the moment, and it was obviously searched, so she couldn't help being angry. Authentic: "Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you won't find anything useful!"

Yang Qingruo nodded and said: "You are right, we did not find anything of value, but it doesn't matter, your Tan Lang will come to you for a tryst almost on the [-]th night of every month, and tonight must be no exception. Bar!"

Yuwen Ruyu said angrily: "Did you arrange eyeliner to monitor me in Qinglian nunnery?"

Yang Qingruo said indifferently: "Don't forget what kind of business we Feiyuwei are in. However, you and your friend are really cautious. The manager's eyeliner has been monitoring for more than a year, but he still hasn't figured out the identity of that person. It’s a deliberate move.”

The anger on Yuwen Ruyu's face suddenly disappeared, and she said with a half smile, "You really want him to come?"

Yang Qingruo said indifferently: "In order to find him out, the manager has already spent five or six years."

Yuwen Ruyu said with a smile: "You arrested the landlord for the safety of Yang Guang, a foolish lord, but now that Feiyu guards have abandoned Yang Guang and come out, isn't it the end of the road?"

Yang Qingruo was slightly shocked, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, and blurted out: "What do you mean?"

Yuwen Ruyu smiled slyly and said nothing, Yang Qingruo felt a chill inexplicably in his heart, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

At this moment, the entire Qinglian nunnery was emptied, and the Feiyuwei and Yingying personnel guarded every corner. To put it a bit exaggerated, even a fly would never want to break in.

"What happened?" Yang Qingruo asked in an emotionless voice as soon as she walked out of Yuwen Ruyu's room, a ghostly figure floated down from the roof.

This person is wearing a bronze mask, and it is the shadow. In order to catch the landlord, the shadow is also dispatched this time.

Yang Qingruo said a little uneasy: "We are all out of the city, will someone take the opportunity to harm the emperor?"

Shadow frowned and said: "I heard what that woman said. She is very smart. She probably said that on purpose, trying to disrupt our arrangement."

Yang Qingruo shook her head and said, "It's better to believe it than to believe it, you'd better hurry back to the palace."

Shadow hesitated and said: "The landlord is here, I'm afraid you can't deal with it alone."

Yang Qingruo said confidently: "Don't worry, I've made all the preparations this time, and the emperor is the top priority. In comparison, the landlord is the second, go!"

After hearing the words, Shadow nodded and said: "In this case, you should be careful."

The shadow was about to jump up the wall and leave, but a figure jumped in first, staggering, covered in blood, it was Dai Chunren, the deacon of Feiyuwei.

Xiao Jian rushed forward to support Dai Chunren, and asked in surprise: "What happened?"

Dai Chunren shouted anxiously: "Director Qing, something is wrong. Yu Wenhuaji, Sima Dekan, Yuan Li and Pei Qiantong rebelled, led their troops into the palace, and killed General Dugu Sheng of Youtun Wei. Now they are attacking the West Pavilion, and the subordinates desperately rushed out of the city to inform Chief Qing, and quickly rescued... Wow!"

Dai Chunren spit out a big mouthful of blood when he said that, Yang Qingruo and Ying Ying were both shocked, Yuwen Ruyu in the room obviously heard it, and laughed endlessly: "Retribution is coming, retribution is coming, Yang Guang will die badly, everyone in the Yang family Everyone will die badly, kill all the Yang family."

Yang Qingruo only felt that he had fallen into the ice cellar, his heart and lungs were cold, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred, Dai Chunren, who was vomiting blood madly, suddenly got into trouble, and hit Xiao Jian's chest with his palm.

Hearing a click, Xiao Jian's chest collapsed directly, and then the whole person flew out and smashed fiercely on a rockery in the courtyard, knocking down the rockery, and vomited blood and internal organs after landing. It looked like his internal organs were all shattered, and Da Luo couldn't save him.

Yang Qingruo's complexion changed drastically, a cold light flashed in his hands, he stabbed forward with a sword, and at the same time retreated sharply, shouting: "Everyone be careful!"

Shadow's reaction was also extremely fast, but unfortunately it was still a bit late. Dai Chunren's speed was too fast, and a palm was already printed on Shadow's chest, but Shadow is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In a crisis, Dai Chunren was also returned. foot.

bang bang...

The two flew out at the same time, Shadow staggered to the ground and vomited several mouthfuls of blood, while Dai Chunren also staggered, but he didn't vomit blood, only a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, such a comparison made it clear whether he was superior or inferior.

"Lord!" Yang Qingruo blurted out.

At this time, Dai Chunren had already stood up straight, and once he let go of his momentum, his temperament changed drastically. Although his face was still Dai Chunren's, it seemed like a different person.

Yang Qingruo was startled and angry, it was obvious that the real Dai Chunren was dead, and this Dai Chunren in front of her was actually pretended by the landlord, just like she had put on a human skin mask to pretend to be Lou Shi Hanyue.

Shadow coughed out a mouthful of blood, and shouted sharply, "Who are you?"

The landlord said indifferently: "I'm afraid you won't have a chance to find out."

At this time, Fei Yuwei had already surrounded the main building, but the latter was unafraid, with a calm and composed look, he pointed to the northwest and said: "Look, it's on fire!"

Yang Qingruo and Ying Ying looked up subconsciously, and they saw a raging fire ignited in that direction, turning half of the sky red, and that was where Jiangdu Palace was located.
