Nagato has a thin waist

The sun shone brightly during the day, but at night it started to rain.

The footsteps passed through the drizzle, sounding unusually dull.

Pei Madang sat alone under the solitary lamp, with the tea in front of him filled with smoke.

After a moment, Zuo Zhong cupped his hands outside the door and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Tang is here."

Pei Ran hummed and said nothing.

Tang Shaogong came out of the rainy night wearing an autumn white linen coat with wide sleeves, like a mourning dress. He entered the house covered with drizzle and his hair was half wet.

"Your Majesty."

He brushed the rain off his body and saluted Pei Ran.

Pei Madang raised his eyes, said nothing, and waved to Zuo Zhong and other attendants.

"Yes." Zuo Zhong and others filed down.

Pei Ran said: "Close the door."

Tang Shaogong turned around and closed the door, walked up to Pei Ran again and stood tall.

He is quite tall in stature and has a brave look on his face. If you look closely, you can vaguely see the spirit of a young man in the army.

The study was quiet for a long time.

Pei Madang lowered his eyes and drank tea without saying a word.

Tang Shaogong stood for a long time and spoke slowly, "Why does the king come here to find a humble position?"

Pei Madang put down the tea cup, paused for a moment, looked up at him, "I thought you had something to explain?"

Tang Shaogong shook his head subconsciously, his gaze touched the intimidating coldness in Pei Ran's eyes, he thought about it, and sighed again.

"Nothing can be hidden from your Majesty. I did it."

Pei Madang snorted coldly and slapped his hand heavily on the desk, "Who gave you the courage to do anything without permission?!"

When Tang Shaogong entered the door, he was still a little cautious and hesitant, but after being scolded by Pei Ran angrily, he calmed down.

He was silent for a moment and then said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, my lord has been waiting for us to avenge him for more than ten years. We can't wait any longer. Since we have a good opportunity, why not kill multiple birds with one stone and take the head of the enemy?" , to comfort my lord’s spirit under the spring?”

Pei Ran stared at him with cool eyes.

Tang Shaogong laughed suddenly, "On the execution ground today, when I saw Feng Jingyao's head falling to the ground, didn't you feel happy? I am very happy. I have been waiting for this day for too long!"

Pei Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, "You don't need to set up a defense plan, you can kill him. Is it him you want to hurt, or me, or do you want to kill two birds with one stone?"

"That's not harming the king." Tang Shaogong's voice was cold and hoarse. When he stared at the person, his eyes were as sharp as the poison spit out by a poisonous snake, which was particularly cold.

"Killing one Feng Jingyao is not enough to appease the Xie family and the souls of the Xie family soldiers who died unjustly. The Feng family, as well as everyone involved in this matter in Qi State... should pay the price for this."

Pei Ran: "So?"

Tang Shaogong said: "Your Majesty, if you don't move, I will give you a push because of your humble position. With your current position, your Majesty can influence the direction of the court, but as a minister, it is difficult for you to carry out your orders. What's more, you will inevitably be restrained by the powerful officials in the court. You can only wait and wait." Only when your Majesty steps on the throne of Dan and sits high on the dragon throne can you show your ambition and command Taicheng to avenge the Xie family army. "

Pei Ran slowly stood up and walked towards him, coldly.

"So, I have more to thank you for?"

Tang Shaogong's eyes flashed and he lowered his head, "I don't dare."

He was silent for a moment. Under the glare of the eyes above his head, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he cupped his hands and said: "It is really inappropriate for me to assert my humble position without the permission of the king. Please punish me!"

snort!

Pei Ran took two steps closer.

"What if I want your life?"

Tang Shao said respectfully: "The fate of this humble position belongs to the king, and you can do whatever you want."

Pei Madang didn't speak, and suddenly a hand was placed on his arm, and he patted him hard. Tang Shaogong subconsciously took half a step back, and before he could react, Pei Madang held his arm and twisted it with his backhand.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound is very clear.

One of Tang Shaogong's arms slowly dropped down. The pain made him subconsciously scream in pain and quickly closed his mouth. There was sweat on his forehead, and his facial features were twisted in pain, but he didn't make a sound and looked at Pei Madang motionlessly.

Pei Ran: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Tang Shaogong said: "It is an honor for me to die in the hands of the king. If my life can be exchanged for the king to dominate the world, I am willing to die in my humble position. I am worthy of the lord under Jiuquan and the countless injustices." The dead soul of Xie Jiajun.”

Zheng!

Pei Madang suddenly drew his sword.

Tang Shaogong didn't see how the Piyong Sword was unsheathed. The cold touch against his throat subconsciously made him shrink his neck, and then he regained his composure and slowly closed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, don't forget your trust."

Pei Madang pressed down with his sword, and Tang Shaogong raised his chin, completely exposing his neck in front of him, as if he was ready to be slaughtered by him.

"Let's do it! I'll go see my lord right now!"

Pei Madang stood quietly.

For a moment, the palm of his hand suddenly turned around and the sword was sheathed.

Once again, he held up Tang Shaogong's limp and hanging hand.

There was another crisp sound, amidst Tang Shaogong's cry of pain. I saw that the removed arm was put back by Pei Man.

"roll."

The word "low" is full of coldness and solemnity.

Tang Shaogong took a long breath and looked at the bright wind lantern again, feeling as if he had walked through the underworld.

He slowly raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

Pei Madang sat back, his solemn figure bathed in the firelight, seemingly emotionless.

Tang Shaogong did not leave, but still stood in front of Pei Madang, his tone gloomy and hard to distinguish.

"I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but even if the defense plan doesn't come out, the trouble will still come. I don't know where Ruan Pu found out the king's life experience. In the past two days, I'm afraid he will make a fuss about your majesty's condition. "

Pei Ran looked at him coldly.

Tang Shaogong said: "Instead of being on guard everywhere, why not take advantage of the opportunity?"

Pei Ran said: "You only have this chance. Don't do anything without permission again."

Tang Shaogong bowed his head deeply and straightened up after a long while.

"I won't take action, but they will definitely be unable to hold back. Please don't miss the opportunity, Your Majesty. Emperor Wenzhi is currently ill. If we wait for the eldest princess and Ruan Pu's party to take control of the situation, we will inevitably give others the leverage. …”

Pei Madang glanced at him and said, "Go down."

Tang Shaogong bent down slightly and said, "Here."

-

As soon as he left, Feng Yun walked out from behind the screen and slowly knelt down beside Pei Madang.

"As expected, I'm here to tease you."

Pei Ran turned his head and held her waist, "Yun Niang knows everything is like a god."

Pei Ran glanced at him and frowned slightly.

"To be honest, I can't see through this Tang Shaogong. Even now, even though he always thinks about the king, everything he does seems to be for the king and to avenge Xie Jiajun, but it is still difficult for me to distinguish whether he is an enemy or not. friend."

Pei Ran hummed, "I think the same thing as Yun Niang."

Feng Yun looked up at him slightly and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty is really good at taking advantage. When the words come out of my mouth and the account is placed on my head, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it will have nothing to do with you anyway."

The corners of Pei Ran's mouth twitched slightly.

"This is not called taking advantage."

Feng Yun raised his eyebrows, "What's that called?"

Pei Ran: "The woman sings and her husband follows her."

snort! The smile on Feng Yun's face widened, and his eyes reflected the light of the lights, which was really warm.

"That means I took advantage of you."

"I'll take it." Pei Madang closed his palm slightly, hugged her whole, put her in his arms, lowered his head, locked his eyes on her face, and kissed her lips with nostalgia and shallow breathing. .

"Don't leave the house for these two days, and stay calm. Take Ao Zai with you."

Feng Yun's heart skipped a beat.

When Pei Gou looked at her seriously, even though his face was serious, his eyes were still filled with iron, so hot that it seemed to open his heart, letting her see that the whole world in his eyes was filled with her.

This is really not a temptation that ordinary people can bear.

Feng Yun took a breath and smiled slightly.

"I will protect myself. Your Majesty, just go ahead and do it."

"Okay." He nodded and kissed her.

-

Ruan Pu's attack came faster than expected.

The next day, there was a meeting in Zhenghe Hall. Everyone discussed Emperor Wenzhi's condition, and he took the lead in attacking.

"His Majesty fell ill after returning from Prince Yonghuai's palace. Therefore, the rumors in the public will inevitably harm the reputation of the king?"

Before he could finish speaking, he stared at Pei Madang again.

"There are rumors that the defense map is actually in the palace of King Yonghuai, so Feng Ya can steal it and give it to Duan Wu. Unfortunately, there is no proof, and now there is no way to confront him..."

All the ministers looked at each other.

Someone is embarrassed.

Some people are disdainful.

Some people nodded in agreement.

Pei Ran had a cold face and said nothing.

In the main hall, there was an atmosphere of tension.

Ruan Pu, as for Ruan Pu, obviously didn't care about Pei Ran's response. He spoke loudly again without waiting for everyone to discuss the reason.

"What's even more funny is that there are rumors that King Yonghuai is Xie Qilang, the orphan of the late general Xie Xian of the Qi Dynasty. It is also said that only one thing can prove this..."

No one cares who the "public" is.

But King Yonghuai was a remnant of the Xie family army. Li Zongxun said this before his death, more than once.

It's just that there is no evidence of kunai.

What everyone wants to know is, is there any way Ruan Pu can prove this?

Pei Ran pursed his lips slightly and said, "Tell me about it."

Ruan Pu held up his hands and responded: "Back then, Qilang Xie was extremely sensitive to spring peaches. Every time he ate them, he would get red rashes all over his body. Once, he almost died from eating spring peaches. This matter is not a secret in Taicheng."

He looked up at Pei Ran again, stroking his beard and smiling.

"It's not difficult to silence everyone. Why don't your Majesty ask someone to find some fresh spring peaches that have just been picked and give them a try?" (End of Chapter)
