As soon as he touched Teng Yuyi's lips and tongue, Lin Chengyou's mouth seemed to be on fire. The sweetest wine in the world was between her lips and teeth. , Drunkness seems to be contagious, as if for a moment, only the sweet breath of her body remained in his mind, he was intoxicated and unable to extricate himself, he bit her lip and whispered: "Ayu."

Teng Yuyi didn't know if she was drunk or stupid, her body was warm and soft like a cat, she was in his arms, obediently being kissed by him.

Lin Chengyou thought fascinatedly, she is so drunk, does she know what he is doing to her? But he couldn't stop anymore, he couldn't control his body, so he could only touch her lips and ask in a low voice: "Ayu?"

Teng Yuyi struggled a bit, like a child who was drinking a lot of sweet syrup and was suddenly taken away by someone. Not only was he dissatisfied, but he was almost out of temper, and pressed his lips against his lips in annoyance, without any rules Bite hard.

Lin Chengyou lightly sucked the tip of her tongue, and she knocked his teeth, and he kissed the corner of her lips instead, and she sucked his lips.

This reckless enthusiasm made Lin Chengyou feel like he was on fire, and the bud in his heart couldn't bear the strong throbbing, and swelled into the most gorgeous flower in the world.

How can a person's heart contain so much joy? The blissful breeze blows and takes him up to the high clouds. He is like a white crane riding the breeze, wantonly flying in the sky. soar.

He clasped her clinging hands, and responded more recklessly than her, but Teng Yuyi's body was surprisingly soft, and when he leaned forward a little, she couldn't hold back and fell back.

In desperation, Lin Chengyou stretched out his hand to protect the back of Teng Yuyi's head, but at this moment of confusion, Teng Yuyi fell onto the tile.

When she fell down, Teng Yuyi was still holding Lin Chengyou's arm, and dragged him down too. Lin Chengyou protected the back of her head with one hand, and supported her head with the other.

The tiles on the eaves were pressed by the bodies of the two people, and there was a sound, which was particularly ear-piercing in this silent night.

Then, there was a strange scream from below.

Lin Chengyou's hair exploded. He only knew indulgence and indulgence just now. He had long forgotten that there was a group of people underneath. The tip of the nose of the two of them was touching the tip of the nose. Thinking about it, Lin Chengyou looked at the delicate face in his arms like a budding bud, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only leave her bright red lips for a while.

Standing his elbows, he turned his head to listen. The yard was surprisingly quiet, and those people had somehow avoided it.

It seems that there is only one handsome slave left in the yard, but Lin Chengyou knew that those servants must be nearby listening to the movement on the roof. The child who had had enough of the sweet syrup yawned against his chest, and then remained silent.

Lin Chengyou couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, his ears were still beating, but Teng Yuyi fell asleep as soon as he said it.

Subconsciously, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, only to realize that her lip had been bitten off.

Tsk, tonight - not only was he kissed by her, he was almost bitten by her.

This kiss is like a seal that will never be worn out, once it is imprinted on him, it will be a lifetime. No matter from which angle you look at it, he, Lin Chengyou, is her Teng Yuyi's man.

Similarly, she, Teng Yuyi, has already belonged to Lin Chengyou.

If she had forgotten about it early on, who would he talk to?

Before the two of them returned to the courtyard, he couldn't help but fiddle with the broken cheeks on Teng Yuyi's cheeks, and then gently pinched her nose, really wanting to ask her: Teng Yuyi, do you remember? Remember me and you tonight—the words were on the verge of my mouth and I changed my words softly: "Ayu? Ayu?"

It seemed that he couldn't wake up, so Lin Chengyou had no choice but to wrap Teng Yuyi's body in a cloak and hug her, went back to the eaves, and fell into the yard.

Of course there is only Jun Nu underneath, and the others have gone somewhere.

Lin Chengyou coughed cheekily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Bo came out from the gate of the courtyard with his servants.

Lin Chengyou said in a very ordinary tone: "She fell asleep, take her back to the house and settle down."

"Your Majesty, please come forward and serve me quickly." Cheng Bo's always kind face showed a bit of unnaturalness, Duan Fu's face seemed more expressionless than usual, and the rest of them The servant girl was either blushing, or her eyes were twinkling.

Biluo and Chunrong rushed to get Teng Yuyi back to the room, and hurriedly put on a blanket, but just as their hands touched Teng Yuyi's arm, Teng Yuyi's alcohol surged up again, first retching a few times, and then pushing away the hand of the second maid : "Don't..."

The corner of Cheng Bo's mouth twitched, and the lady writhed in Prince Cheng's arms, like a meat worm. Fortunately, Prince Cheng can bear this. Drunk people are heavier than usual, he is not easy to approach, even though Duanfu is an eunuch, he has no reason to carry his wife into the boudoir.

If you ask someone from the outer courtyard to get a shoulder truck immediately, the width of the shoulder gun can only be carried to the corridor at best, no matter how long it is, it will not be able to enter the door.

"Lift!" Cheng Bo decisively ordered Chunrong and Biluo to lift Teng Yuyi's head and shoulders, another group of maids were responsible for lifting Teng Yuyi's waist and hips, and the rest lifted their knees and legs.

It looks ugly, but this is already the best way.

Seeing the maidservants swarming up, Lin Chengyou took a step back holding Teng Yuyi: "Hey, she must be so troublesome, what if she falls? Since she doesn't want you to touch her, let me send her in."

The people in the yard looked at each other, hugged and kissed, and it didn't seem too much to send them off for a while, besides, they all saw it just now, it was the lady who took the initiative to eat the milk, and it was a success Prince Wang's lips are broken...

Hey, I'm too embarrassed to stare,

Now the lady is not letting go...

When he was stunned, Lin Chengyou had already carried the man to the door of the outer room. Chunrong and Biluo hurriedly followed, opened the door and led Lin Chengyou to the back room.

Lin Chengyou entered Teng Yuyi's boudoir for the first time, although he didn't look sideways, he didn't care to glance at a few corners.

There is a black plain piano on the table, so she likes to play the piano. There are a lot of toys hanging on the curtain in front of the bed, such as dolls, paper kites, sachets, fans... the variety is surprisingly lively.

When he got to the bed, Lin Chengyou gently put him on the bed, and was about to straighten himself up, but Teng Yuyi grabbed the front of the bed again.

Lin Chengyou's face became hot, and this tugging would have dragged him to the bed. Biluo and Chunrong were in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled out the doll from under the pillow and stuffed it into Teng Yuyi's arms.

Teng Yuyi hugged the puppet and whispered a few words, then let go of her hand happily.

Lin Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief, and instead looked at the puppet in Teng Yuyi's arms. This puppet was left to her by her mother. After so many years, she still cherishes it.

He touched the puppet's head gently, but unexpectedly smelled a foul smell.

This smell... He frowned, how could it smell like saliva.

Smelled it again, yes, it floated out of the puppet, someone else would definitely not be able to smell it, but who told him that his sense of smell is better than others.

Teng Yuyi is so big that she still drools while sleeping...

Biluo and Chunrong hurriedly said: "This puppet is left by the madam for the lady. It looks very old, but the maidservants clean it all the time."

Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi's peaceful sleeping face for a while, and knew that it would not be appropriate to leave any more, so he took off the jade pendant around his waist and put it next to Teng Yuyi's pillow, and said to Teng Yuyi who was still sleeping soundly: "This is The jade pendant I've been wearing since then, you can enter the palace directly with this. I'm leaving, you take good care of yourself."

After saying a few words, Teng Yuyi only got a series of impatient grunts.

Lin Chengyou lowered his brows and smiled, straightened his body, took out the pair of step rockers from his arms and put them beside Teng Yuyi's pillow, then turned and walked out.

***

Dali Temple, Service Pavilion.

There was a bright light in the cabinet, it was very late, there was a young official who was still sitting in front of the case and sorting out the files, it was Yan Sizhi.

Under the light, Yan Sizhi's face looked a little tired.

Lin Chengyou: "Brother Yan."

Yan Sizhi rubbed his face to cheer himself up: "You came just in time, here, the cases are all here."

Lin Chengyou took it with a smile and said, "Brother Lao Yan is here."

Looking through it, the case file not only compiled the testimonies of Zhuang Mu, Mrs. Jingchen, Song Jian, Lu Zhaoan, Wu Qi, Wang Yu and other people involved in the case, but also transcribed the guests of Ziyun Tower on the night the tree demon appeared. The list, even the banquet list of the British government on the day of Hu Jizhen's accident was not included.

As for the "New Moon Mirror", "Tianshui Shiluo", "Silver Silk Weapon" and other related evidence, they are also listed one by one.

In other words, from the sudden appearance of the dryad in Ziyun Tower on the night of the Shangsi Festival, to the house in Pingkangfang where Eji took poison, the details of a series of related cases were meticulously sorted out.

This is Yan Sizhi, Lin Chengyou thought silently, since his first day at Dali Temple, Yan Sizhi has been here, no matter whether it is a shocking case or a trivial case, as long as it is handed over In Yan Sizhi's hands, he would never be treated perfunctorily.

Just thinking about it, Yan Si said straightly: "Although the master behind the Haoyue Sanren is cautious, it seems that there are no flaws. If you check it like this, it will not be far from being caught. By the way, Lin commented Actually, the house in Moer Lane is really the ancestral home of the Confucian businessman Wang Jiuen from Yangzhou?"

Lin Chengyou nodded: "This person and Lu Zhaoan are old acquaintances in Yangzhou. The lovesickness Gu used by Lu Zhaoan to seduce women was given by Wang Jiuen. Before going to Beijing for the exam, Wang Jiuen instructed Lu Zhaoan to find Eji in Pingkang Fang Lu Zhaoan won Kuiyuan, and they officially began to win over Lu Zhaoan. On that day, Wang Jiuen planned to invite Lu Zhaoan to meet the master behind the scenes, but unexpectedly, Mr. Hu Jizhen broke into Lu's house and something bad happened. Wang Jiuen escaped from Chang'an on the day of the accident, and his whereabouts are unknown now. ‌. A few days ago, I checked the household registration in Wan County, and it was confirmed that this house has always been under the name of Wang Jiuen.”

"Looking at it this way, this house is one of the places they usually use for secret communication and deployment?"

Lin Chengyou was silent for a moment: "It's a pity that the old things in the house have already been cleaned up. Even if there are some traces left, it will not be a one-day search. I have ordered the house to be temporarily blocked, and I will check it later. .”

Just as Yan Sizhi was about to answer, he was surprised to find that Lin Pingshi's lip was broken. It didn't look like it was broken in a fight, but it looked like it was bitten...

This is not surprising, the strangest thing is that Lin Pingshi's expression is indescribably disturbed, he is discussing the case, but his expression is not as bright as before, but there is a kind of deliberately avoiding it. ‌I feel...

Yan Sizhi suddenly thought that Lin Chengyou had asked for the holy man's handwriting in the evening, so he could go to the Yuzhennv Crown Temple.

"Lin Pingshi, did you find something in the observation?"

Now that we have found the key clues of the master behind the scenes, Lin Pingshi is reluctant to continue.

But Lin Chengyou said: "It's too late, my sister-in-law is still waiting for Brother Yan at home, right? I'm just about to enter the palace, so I'll send Brother Yan home by the way."

When Yan Sizhi heard his wife's name, his expression suddenly softened a little, he looked at the floor drain in the corner of the room apologetically, and turned around to sort out the papers: "Let's go now."

When the two walked out, Lin Chengyou said: "I'm going out of Beijing today, and these cases will be put aside for the time being. I will send the case files to the palace first, and I will continue when I return to Beijing." Check it out."

Yan Si didn't know that Lin Chengyou was going to lead the Shence Army to go out immediately, so he was stunned: "When will Lin Pingshi come back? You will definitely send the case to the palace, you are not in Beijing During this period of time, I can go to those streets and alleys to walk around more, and after a long time, maybe I can find some clues."

Lin Chengyou said: "It's useless. This person acts more cautiously than the Peng family, and he doesn't necessarily have fewer eyes and ears than the Peng family. If Brother Yan finds out something, I'm afraid they will be against you. There are a few other tricky cases, just to ask brother Yan to be distracted and help investigate."

Yan Si was stunned for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Alright, let's talk about it when you come back."

At the gate of Yan's house, the servants at the gate came out with lanterns.

Yan Sizhi's salary can't buy a house, this narrow house was rented.

Yan Sizhi got off his horse and entered. There was a young woman whispering in the door. Lin Chengyou knew that it was the voice of Yan Sizhi's wife. Come out to meet.

Yan Sizhi whispered a few words to his wife, and after a short while he turned around and took Lin Chengyou's rein and said enthusiastically, "Zhuojing cooked supper, and Lin Pingshi will leave after eating."

Lin Chengyou has always been unassuming. In the past, when it was too late to handle the case, he also went to their house for supper.

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "Usually I have to go to the palace to disturb my wife. I really don't have time today. I have to go to the palace to discuss some important matters with my uncle."

Yan Sizhi had no choice but to let go of the rein: "Then we won't force you to stay. There are no lights nearby, so go, Brother Yan will carry a lantern to send you out of the alley."

As he spoke, he held up a lantern to lead the way.

Lin Chengyou thanked: "No need, I can night vision. Brother Yan, please go back, I will not be in Beijing for a while, Brother Yan, take good care of yourself. Don't investigate the case, I will talk about it when I return to Beijing."

This was the third time Lin Chengyou asked him not to look any further down tonight, Yan Sizhi was taken aback for a moment, no matter how puzzled he was, he had no choice but to agree.

Lin Chengyou was a little relieved: "Then I'm leaving, Brother Yan, take care."

"Heart on the road." Yan Sizhi stayed where he was and watched Lin Chengyou off.

Lin Chengyou cupped his hands, and when he rode his horse out of the alley, he turned his head and looked back. Yan Sizhi was still holding up the lantern to light the way for him.

Soldiers are precious and fast, Lin Chengyou didn't delay any longer, rode his horse and swung his whip, and galloped into the night in an instant.

***

In the palace, the emperor and Taoist priest Qingxuzi waited for news while playing chess.

When Ye Leu pointed at Zi, Lin Chengyou finally came back.

‌The father-in-law brought someone to present a supper, and stepped back lightly.

"Kuan Nu said that you gave Jun Nu away." Qing Xuzi squinted his eyes and looked at his disciples, "Send it somewhere?"

"Give it to Lady Teng." Lin Chengyou said frankly.

"It's so late?"

Lin Chengyou didn't change his face: "I went to Dali Temple to find Yan Sizhi."

Sitting under the lamp while talking, Ah Han and Qing Xuzi saw Lin Chengyou's face, and they fell silent for a while.

Lin Chengyou subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, and felt that it was too guilty to do so, so he simply drank the porridge without saying a word, and covered his lips with the bowl in his hand, but the porridge was a bit hot, which made his wound hurt, and he was afraid of the two The elders saw the clue and could only stand firm.

Qing Xuzi pushed a jade oak tree to his disciple: "Drink slowly, don't burn your mouth."

Lin Chengyou almost choked, it was a lump of ice.

Ahan kindly changed the topic: "Go back to Dali Temple to hand over the case at hand?"

Lin Chengyou answered as if nothing had happened: "Yan Sizhi has sorted out the case files of Haoyue Sanren's group of people who committed crimes. If Huaixi Road turns against the flag, that person will definitely have something to do. It is not safe to put these evidences in Dali Temple , or simply let the uncle keep it himself.”

Ahan took over the stack of case reports, and his expression became more and more dignified as he turned over them.

Lin Chengyou said: "This person has been preparing for a long time, and he is already ready to make a move. It would be best if the rebellion can be put down as soon as possible. If it is delayed for a long time, this person may take the opportunity to cause chaos..."

Ahan thought about it for a while: "War is about knowing yourself and the enemy. No matter how meticulous Peng Zhen's preparations were, he would never have expected that Teng Shao had received the news a few months ago. Not only that, he also immediately told Lin Xiao about it. Huaixi Road is now a sieve with air leaks everywhere, and the details have been found out before the war started. Uncle gave you a two-month time limit after consideration. Even if the counter-insurgency campaign is extended to halfway The loss of troops in the middle is not too big, even if that person took advantage of the chaos to plot rebellion, it would not be possible."

Lin Chengyou didn't say anything, it was this that confused him.

The rebellion of the Peng family was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for that person. For example, in the "previous life" Li Huaigu said, it took the court three years to successfully put down the rebellion. Once again, if the rebellion catches up with uncle's old illness, the rebellion will naturally have a great chance of winning, so the gang of Haoyue Sanren will do everything possible to force the Peng family to rebel within the day.

Now that the news of the Peng family's rebellion has been leaked ahead of time, this means that the campaign to counter the rebellion may be shortened.

Does that person know about this?

Give up this opportunity and continue to wait for the next rebellious "Peng family"? Or do you take other actions instead?

It is absolutely impossible to give up, but it is not easy to wait for the next rebel with the same strength.

Take another action instead——

Lin Chengyou said: "Uncle, I remember that my nephew told you that day that Haoyue Sanren once predicted that there would be a catastrophe in Chang'an..."

This conversation took more than half an hour unconsciously.

Ahan was silent for a long time, and said to Lin Chengyou: "Uncle knows it well. When your grandparents return to Chang'an in the future, I will discuss the countermeasures with them. It's a pity that you left before dawn, and there is no time to meet them ‌..."

Dao Priest Qing Xuzi sighed: "Well, well, your child is blessed with great destiny, and the master is not worried about anything. By the way, you met Mrs. Teng before, did you ask her about the wrong spell? Does she know that she has been cursed?"

Lin Chengyou was already filled with strong unease. Hearing this, he left the table, knelt down and kowtowed several times to the two elders. "Speaking of this, there is something I would like to ask my master and uncle."

Ahan and Qingxuzi looked at each other, and gradually understood: "Just tell me."

"My uncle and master must have known my feelings for Mrs. Teng. She is the one who is most worried about this expedition. Just like what master said, the person who cast the curse intentionally made her not live to be sixteen years old, and Maybe it's because there are more than one person who cast the curse, and the technique of "borrowing life" alone can't resolve it, so someone in the "previous life" borrowed her life for her, and she still bears the grudge when she comes back. If it can’t be solved, Teng Yuyi will always be trapped in this puzzle. But——‌‌The curse originated from the battle of Nanyang, and Teng Yuyi is innocent?”

Ahan and Qingxuzi sighed in unison.

Lin Chengyou said solemnly: "Although Teng Yuyi and I have only known each other for a few months, we have experienced countless things. We have resisted the big monsters that the world cannot tolerate together, and we have caught treacherous people together. She always said that I was her savior. But she has saved me many times. Her disciples don't know all about her "previous life", but her disciples are very clear about Teng Yuyi's fortitude and bravery in this life. She risked her life because she wanted to live In the next day, when the rebel army is suppressed, the disciple will come back to help her dissolve the curse. No matter how difficult the solution is, the disciple will give up his life and give it a try.”

Ahan's expression changed slightly, and Qingxuzi's eyebrows were raised upside down: "You child——"

"During the period when the apprentice and grandson are not in Chang'an, I will entrust the safety of Teng Yuyi to the elders." Lin Chengyou bowed his head and bowed.

The air in the hall was heavy, Ahan turned his head to look at the master, and sighed: "Good boy, don't worry, even if you don't ask, uncle will take good care of Mrs. Teng with your parents and master."

Lin Chengyou still refused to come, obviously still waiting for the promise from his master.

Qingxuzi looked at his disciples with a sullen face, saying that it is not so easy to dissolve this venomous spell. This child was hit with a love calamity, he was supposed to be on the "Unfeeling Gu", but the child was still tempted when it was time to be tempted, now it seems that the so-called "robbery" is due to the wrong hook curse of Mrs. Teng superior.

Seeing his disciple's preoccupation, Qing Xuzi finally softened, and sighed: "Let's go."

Lin Chengyou's long eyebrows stretched, and he kowtowed several times before he was willing to get out.

***

When Teng Yuyi woke up, it was just dawn, and when she opened her eyes, she suddenly felt dizzy.

She covered her forehead, was she drunk last night? It seemed that he was still quite drunk, and he thought about it in a daze, but couldn't think of anything for a while, and wanted to lie back in bed, when he suddenly heard a strange noise outside the window, followed by a thud , it was the startled and frightened laughter of the maids: "Oh, this leopard has such a temper——"

Leopard?

I heard Bi Luo scolding: "Shut up your voice! The lady is still sleeping."

Teng Yuyi put down the puppet in his arms suspiciously, lifted the quilt to get out of bed, and looked at the sky outside the window. Strange things are placed beside the pillow.

Turning around, it is a lacquered flat box with flowers and birds in mother-of-pearl.

Beside the lacquer box is a jade pendant with a bright and cold jade.

Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, then he called out in bewilderment, "Chunrong, Biluo."

While shouting, he took the piece of jade pendant and identified it carefully. He couldn't help being surprised. Isn't this the piece that Lin Chengyou usually wears around his waist.

When he ran to her bed?

Chunrong and Biluo came in after hearing the sound: "Miss, are you awake?"

Teng Yuyi was puzzled: "Who sent this jade pendant?"

Chunrong and Biluo looked at each other awkwardly: "The Prince Cheng stayed here last night."

Teng Yuyi was confused, last night? Has Lin Chengyou been here?

She vaguely felt something was wrong: "He came here at a later date? Why didn't I know."

"My lady, you are drunk and insist on entering the courtyard as a royal son." Chun Rong brutally exposed the truth.

"My lady, you really don't remember anything?" Bi Luo muttered.

Teng Yuyi held her head and thought hard for a while. Although her mind was a mess, she managed to capture a few incomplete paintings. Thinking about it, her scalp exploded and she almost fell off the bed.

It's over, she seems to have done something terrible.

Chunrong and Biluo took off the coats on the red sandalwood hanger, and went to help Teng Yuyi put on the clothes. While Teng Yuyi was lying down, Biluo whispered a few words in her ear.

Teng Yuyi swayed again. What? She pawed Lin Chengyou last night, and... hugged his face and kissed him?

It was as if she had been hit by a huge thunderbolt, and she was stunned and confused for a while. She looked blankly at first, then turned around and got into the quilt, covered her head in a panic, and said loudly in the quilt: "Impossible, it is impossible for me to do such a thing."

Biluo and Chunrong said with bitter faces: "How dare maidservants talk nonsense, last night the lady was like a gourd vine entangled with Prince Cheng, not to mention maidservants, Cheng Bo and Duan Fudu can't tear you off him."

Gourd vine? Teng Yuyi trembled all over.

She closed her eyes tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense."

But she knew in her heart that what Chunrong and Biluo said was the truth, even if she had forgotten everything else, she vaguely remembered that she once held Lin Chengyou's face...

She had never looked at him so closely, assuming she was just dreaming, she would never be able to trace his eyebrows and eyes so clearly.

Teng Yuyi's ears were red, and there was a pit in front of her, so she would jump off without hesitation. Just covering her face was not enough, she began to twist and twist on the bed wrapped in a quilt, but even if she twisted herself into a twist, she couldn't get rid of the deep shame that made people want to burrow into the ground. ‌.

Chunrong leaned over and picked the quilt on La Teng Yuyi's head: "My lady, don't worry about yourself. In addition to this jade pendant, Prince Cheng also sent a black panther. This leopard has a very arrogant temper. I don't care about anyone in the corridor. If the lady doesn't believe it, just go out and have a look."

Teng Yuyi remained motionless.

Twisting around on the bed was ineffective, so she decided to pretend.

Biluo and Chunrong looked at the silent "long bug" on the bed, and helplessly spread their hands: "My lady, you've already done the work, so it's useless to hide, isn't it?"

It's like she's got Lin Chengyou in her hands. Teng Yuyi curled her fingers in embarrassment, only to realize that she was still holding Lin Chengyou's jade pendant. She subconsciously let go of her hand, and then held it tightly again. This jade pendant is Lin Chengyou's personal belonging. At the moment, she is under the quilt, rolling around for a long time, what if she can't find it later.

"The two Taoist priests have also come, saying that they are waiting for Mrs. Teng to send off the senior brother together."

Teng Yuyi remained motionless.

"If it's not too late, it will be too late."

Teng Yuyi closed her eyes even tighter in annoyance, what did she say when she saw Lin Chengyou? She was the one who took the initiative to belittle him last night, kissing and hugging him in front of a crowd of people, even Leopard Junnu can attest to this. Thinking about this, she wished she could be ashamed on the spot.

Ashamed to see anyone, she decided not to leave the house for the whole day.

Chunrong handed the lacquer box next to the pillow to the quilt: "Lady, this is also sent by Prince Cheng, the servant girl looks like the one that the lady lost in Yuzhen Nuguanguan a while ago. .”

The quilt was silenced for a moment, and Teng Yuyi got out.

In the lacquer box lies a pearl walking stick, which looks very familiar.

Looking at the lacquer box in disbelief, Teng Yuyi took a step and shook it, gently turning it with her fingertips. There was nothing wrong with it, it was the one A Niang left her.

At the beginning, this step fell into the underground palace. Afterwards, she wanted to find the Jade True Girl Crown, but now the Taoist temple is not allowed to enter unless it is a sage. , Such a single step was lost in it, and the logic has long been lost.

Lin Chengyou...

Buyao's light was reflected in Teng Yuyi's dark eyes, her chest was heaving, her cheeks were still hot, she stretched her legs to the side of the bed, she slumped her head and said with her shoes on: "Prepare clothes, I Go out now."

Biluo and Chunrong look at each other in surprise.

Teng Yuyi finished washing in a hurry, sat in front of the dressing table to dress up, and suddenly thought of something: "Bring over the boxes of flower cakes I made a few days ago. By the way, there is also the one I made for Grandpa Take the green summer clothes with the Buddha's head, too."

After packing up and leaving the outhouse, I suddenly saw the black panther lying on the porch.

"Junu." Teng Yuyi stepped forward happily.

The front of the black panther is surrounded by curious maids. It rests its two big paws reservedly. Bi Yingying's eyes are full of disdain. When Teng Yuyi calls it, she looks back lazily.

Teng Yuyi handed the food box to Duan Fu in front of the steps, knelt down and touched Jun Nu's head: "Come on, go out with me."

Without saying a word, he took the gold rope on Jun Nu's collar and walked out quickly.

It was rare for Junnu to be obedient, and he obediently kept up with Teng Yuyi's pace, and he grew up under the envious eyes of the maids.

Juesheng and Qizhi came early in the morning, and Kuannu was also waiting in the middle hall. Lin Chengyou was very confident in Junnu's spirituality, but he was also afraid that it would cause trouble in Teng's mansion. Before leaving, he specially told Kuannu to let him Come here and guide the servants of Teng Mansion to feed the leopard.

"Miss Teng." Juesheng and Qizhi happily surrounded him, with Kuannu respectfully saluting beside him.

"Is Junu obedient last night? Anyway, we will live in your mansion these days, and we will do the job of feeding it."

"It's very well-behaved." Teng Yu said kindly, "Kuannu, I forgot to give something to the son, do you know that your son is about to leave?"

Kuan Nu said loudly: "The son has already explained, if Mrs. Teng wants to send him off in person, let someone lead the way, yes."

Teng Yuyi was speechless, how could he expect that she wanted to send him off in person? When will Lin Chengyou's stink of overconfidence be corrected?

If not—

That's all.

"Then lead the way quickly." Teng Yuyi cleared her throat.

On the way, Juesheng and Qizhi said embarrassingly: "I have to bother Madam Teng for a while again. Brother has explained that before he returns to Chang'an, we have to stay by Madam Teng's side."

Teng Yuyi smiled and said: "What are you talking about, I can't ask for more. I have long wanted to invite you to live in the mansion. I asked Cheng Bo to clean up the yard where you lived last time. You can do whatever you want in the mansion." , tell me what you want to eat and play.”

Qi Zhi smiled for a while, caught a glimpse of the Xuanyin bell on Teng Yuyi's wrist, and hurriedly took out a stone-like object from his arms: "Brother, once you leave, you won't be able to hear the Xuanyin bell warning again. I want to give this Yingling Stone to Shigong, but Shigong is too old. After thinking about it, I had to let me here. Brother said that I sleep lighter than Juesheng. Put it on me. What's the matter with Mrs. Teng? It can also be detected in time."

Jueshengdao: "Senior brother put this Yingling stone in his arms in the past, so whenever Mrs. Teng has something, the senior brother will know immediately."

Teng Yuyi took Yingling and rubbed the stone lightly, the carriage was unusually quiet, the two of them saw that she just looked at the stone and did not speak, and it was difficult to speak again.

Kuan Nu kept urging the driver, "Go to Fanglin Gate."

The Shence army was hoarding troops at Longshouyuan in the north of the city, and they had to leave from the north of the city when they went on an expedition. It was still early in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

When they rushed to the outside of the city, it was a step too late. The Shence Army was divided into the Gyeonggi area and the inner road. In addition to Chang'an, it was also distributed in Fengtian, Fufeng, Huxian, and Shanzhou towns. Fifty thousand troops were dispatched to counter the rebellion. Even though the saint had issued a secret call the day before yesterday, it would take at least two or three days to gather all the soldiers under his command.

As the chief general of the Shence Army, Lin Chengyou should have left camp before dawn.

Fortunately, today's saints are politically transformed. As long as they are not marching in secret, the court allows the family members of the generals to watch each other outside the city gate. In front of a hill not far away.

When they climbed up the hill, they happened to see the marching army that was fading away.

The imperial court intentionally mistook Huaixi Road for the main counter-insurgency force to be the Shence Army. Therefore, the expedition was very grand. The golden light is comparable to the rising sun bursting out. It was early summer, and the cool wind was blowing over Longshouyuan, and the marching banners fluttered with the wind.

Teng Yuyi chased up the steep hillside, wishing he could not see Lin Chengyou's figure, Juesheng and Qizhi stretched their necks to look around, stomped their feet: "What can we do."

Teng Yuyi held the food box in his arms and looked on tiptoe, when he suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping out of the city.

At the front is a heroic young general, wearing a military uniform with a whip, a red scarf on his forehead, and a golden longbow on his back (Note 1).

This young man, chatting and laughing, gallops past under the red-gold morning sun, looking as beautiful as a god. His appearance immediately attracted the low voices of the female relatives under the city wall: "Look, that is the son of Prince Cheng."

"Lin Chengyou." Teng Yuyi was surprised and delighted, and quickly turned around and ran down, but her low call was drowned out by the soaring drumbeat in an instant.

The sound of the drums is heart-pounding, as if cheering for the soldiers going out.

Or there is a limit to the military situation ahead, and Lin Chengyou didn't stop when he passed under the city wall, and went straight to the vast mausoleum ahead.

For a while, the smoke and dust billowed, and the noise shook the ground.

Teng Yuyi chased after him for a while, seeing that Lin Chengyou's figure was about to disappear in the march of the brigade, so he had to stop holding the food box.

At this time, Lin Chengyou seemed to have sensed something, he stopped the horse abruptly, and looked back.

Teng Yuyi was overjoyed and tried her best to climb to the top of the mountain again, but the distance was too far to see Lin Chengyou's expression.

Indeed, Lin Chengyou didn't see anything, because he was focusing on Fanglin Gate. According to the custom in the past, the family members would usually send each other off under the city wall.

He looked back carefully for a long time, but he couldn't catch the familiar figure, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but it didn't hurt him. When I wake up, I will definitely come to see you off.

It's a pity that the military situation has changed and we have to rush to Shanzhou before tonight. He can't wait any longer. He quickly calmed down and was about to turn around when he suddenly realized something. His eyes shifted and he looked into the distance An inconspicuous hill.

Then, he saw several black spots on the hill.

Lin Chengyou's lips showed a smile that was more dazzling than Chaoyang. Although he couldn't see the pedestrian's appearance clearly, he confidently believed that Teng Yuyi was among them.

When he turned his head, the figure in the front suddenly started to move quickly, and when the wind blew, a distant brilliant color flew up behind that person.

That is the scarf in the arms of the lady.

Lin Chengyou is now more certain that it is Teng Yuyi. This glance was sweeter than honey to him. There was no words, no photographs, and he couldn't even see the expression clearly, but this scene was like a painting, which was deeply imprinted in his heart. After looking at each other for a while, he cast a nostalgic glance at that figure, Pulling the rein constantly, he turned around and rode his horse away.

Teng Yuyi stayed where he was, and watched the figure leave. Lin Chengyou must have seen them, but he was not sure, and what was even more regrettable was that the rose cake he had been thinking about for so long could not reach him, and it was too late , Sending it again is suspected of corrupting military discipline.

The sun gradually rises, and the summer wind blows people's body. With the disappearance of the flag, the Longshou Plain gradually returned to tranquility. Teng Yuyi looked at the direction where the army disappeared, and did not move for a long time. Someone said under the mound: "Junu?"

"Abandon the sage and abandon the wisdom?"

Teng Yuyi looked down in surprise, there was a road leading into the city at the foot of the hill, and a group of Baonu calvary carts came to welcome them.

On a certain cart, there is a young man looking out of the curtain, and it is this young man who spoke just now: "Grandpa, grandma, look, there are wide slaves and handsome slaves on the hillside."

At a glance, Teng Yuyi guessed the identity of this pedestrian, and suddenly heard Kuan Nu cheering: "My lord, my concubine, my second son."

Juesheng and Qizhi also happily ran down the mountain.

After running for a long time, he turned back and said, "Miss Teng, those are the brothers' grandparents."

Teng Yuyi had no choice but to take Duanfu and Junnu down the mountain. A thousand-mile horse stood in front of the calf cart, and immediately sat a man in a stone-blue gown. Bingyu, those clear eyebrows and eyes of the mountain spring, made Teng Yuyi think of Lin Chengyou all of a sudden.

Half of Lin Chengyou's beauty comes from this man.

Kuan Nu had already made an introduction for his master.

After listening to Kuan Nu's report, King Cheng began to look at the child in front of him seriously.

"Are you Lady Teng?"

Teng Yuyi saluted respectfully.

"Good boy, don't be too polite." Cheng Wang's face was calm, but his eyes were very warm. General's daughter."

Teng Yuyi thought to himself, King Cheng's voice is deep and gentle, just like Grandpa, it has the power to make people feel at ease when he speaks. The increase in experience and age has slowly settled down to the bones, and every word and every deed is convincing, as if the big things in this world are not to be feared when they are in front of them.

There was movement immediately in the calf cart, and when the curtain was lifted, a young man in a crimson robe and gold crown came out, about thirteen years old, with a similar appearance to Lin Chengyou, but his eyebrows and eyes had not yet opened, and his body Also a bit thin.

However, that incomparable demeanor was exactly the same as Lin Chengyou's. The young master smiled and made people feel refreshed. He looked at Teng Yuyi friendly, and then looked at Teng Yuyi's feet curiously. The handsome slave saluted Teng Yuyi and turned around to lift the curtain.

Soon, another beautiful young woman got out of the car and became a princess. The princess had no airs, and got out of the car as soon as she said she would get off.

Teng Yuyi is inexplicably a little embarrassed. I have seen her before, but it is a pity that she is too far away. This time, she is so close that the princess's skin is clear and snowy, and her eyes are even more exquisite. Teng Yuyi thought about the rumors about Yu Chengwang and his wife, but he really couldn't imagine the scene where the princess personally taught her son a lesson.

Concubine Cheng is agile, got out of the car and stood still, saw Teng Yuyi, her eyes lit up, she and her husband looked at each other with a smile, and waved to Teng Yuyi: "Your name is Yuyi, right? I'm Lin Chengyou's aunt .Come on, let me take a good look at you."

Teng Yuyi's chest felt warm, and Princess Cheng smiled sincerely. This smile seemed to warm people's hearts. Then look at Cheng Wang Lin Xiao who is sitting upright on the horse. Although he is not smiling like his wife, the warmth in his eyes seems to be able to melt the first snow.

Teng Yuyi was very kind, and smiled two dimples, stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the princess."

***

Two months later.

The battle in Huaixi is intensifying.

Since the Peng family occupied Huaixi, they have spared no effort to encourage their soldiers to form marriages with the local people. After a few days, many soldiers in the army have settled down in Huaixi Road. In the past, they were more filial, and some generals even brought relatives from far away in Long to live together.

Peng Zhen's rebellion, no matter whether the soldiers are willing or not, they have to work with the Peng family, because the lives of their relatives are in the hands of the Peng family, and if they dare to contradict the Peng family, they will all be slaughtered.

As for winning over the hearts of the army, the Peng family has always been extremely well-behaved. Since the age of six, they have frequently rewarded soldiers. There are also many people who follow Peng Zhen wholeheartedly.

Coercion and lure, as soon as the drums sounded, Huaixi Dao was united.

In addition, as early as a few years ago, Peng Zhen kept lobbying the Jiedu envoys who were close to the Fan Dao and secretly interacting with them on the grounds that "once the Huaixi troops are handed over, the Ziqing and Shannan East Roads will be in danger." For the Olympic aid, several days later, Zhongshan Town has been helping each other.

On the front foot, the Shence Army and Zhen Haijun defeated the 50,000 Peng Army entrenched in Taiyincang, and on the back foot Liu Zhengwei from Ziqing and Wang Shibiao from Shannan Dongdao successively raised the flag of rebellion.

Liu Zhengwei stopped troops in Xiangyang, and Wang Shibiao sent troops to help Peng Zhen defend Xuzhou vortex.

Deng Xiang's line, from Dengzhou to Wokou, traverses the middle abdomen and guards the key points. Compared with the Chenying waterway, the geographical location is more critical. Once the rebels succeed, not only will the counter-insurgency campaign be hit hard, but the entire north-south transportation route will also be in a dilemma.

According to Peng Zhen's precise layout, he should have been invincible, but what he encountered was his long-standing rival—Teng Shao, the number one **** of war in this dynasty. God, the young general Lin Chengyou who never sticks to the rules.

In addition, someone leaked the secret ahead of time, and all the moves that Peng Zhen had buried in advance were spotted one by one.

From taking advantage of the opportunity to passive defense, it is often only in one battle. , Vortex.

Peng Zhen's halberd fell into the sand, and he had to lead the remnants to retreat to Caizhou. The people Liu Zhengwei and Wang Shibiao sent to support Huaixi Road were old, weak, sick and disabled. After a few defeats, they saw the flags of the Shence Army and the Zhenhai Army. He handed over the "crime" to the imperial court, saying that he had no remorse, and that the reason why he borrowed troops to Huaixi Road before was only because he was deceived by Peng Zhen's lies.

In mid-July, Deputy General Liu Yunhao of Peng Zhen, who was guarding Songzhou, was killed by the sergeants in the battalion. The sergeants passed his head to the capital, and the whole state surrendered to the court.

As soon as Songzhou fell, all the seven towns in Caizhou's county were exposed to the horseshoes of the Zhenhai Navy and Shence Army.

When the news came, the government and the public were encouraged.

The first thing Teng Yuyi does every day is to inquire about the battle in Huaixi Road. As long as he hears that the battle is not going well, he will feel apprehensive, and if he hears good news, he will be happy all day.

In the past two months, she has not gone to school at Xiangxiang Academy. Teng Shao, thinking about her daughter's safety, asked the academy to take leave of absence for her daughter long before the expedition. Wisdom goes out to get rid of evil spirits.

Some strange evil spirits often appear outside Chang'an City recently. For example, the rare Seven Desires appeared outside Nancheng last time, but this time the ones entrenched in the formation are not boa constrictor spirits. , but a flower demon, almost all the traders who passed by that place fell for it.

On that day, when Princess Cheng heard about this, she and Daoist Qing Xuzi went to collect the monsters. It happened that Teng Yuyi was invited by Azhi to play in Prince Cheng's mansion.

Teng Yuyi excitedly got into the car with the Yajian in her pocket.

But at the moment of killing the demon, Teng Yuyi is far from being comfortable in front of Lin Chengyou. No matter how easy-going Princess Cheng is, she is always an elder. No matter how generous Teng Yuyi is, she still has a natural restraint in front of her elders. .

Juesheng and Qizhi huchihuchi helped to collect the monsters, looked back and felt strange, Mrs. Teng was both wise and brave, and she always showed her fierce face when she slayed evil things, but today was different, Sisi ‌‌ It's like you can't hold a sword.

"Miss Teng, are you sick?"

"Miss Teng, you were always murderous before, why are you so delicate today?"

Teng Yuyi's forehead twitched. In the past, he always saw Lin Chengyou scolding his junior, but today it's a no-brainer. In front of Princess Cheng and Daoist Qing Xuzi, does she have the guts to "grin her teeth" to kill the demon?

Concubine Cheng didn't say a word, she approached and held Teng Yuyi's sword hilt, and gave her a strong push forward.

With a pop, the move was crisp and neat, and the spider spirit that had eaten a lot of people in front of it immediately turned into a puddle of pus.

Teng Yuyi suddenly felt that her "tweaked attitude" was a bit redundant.

"Jue Sheng Qi Zhi told me that you not only chopped off a claw of the tree demon with your own hands, but also helped You'er saw off the fangs of the corpse evil?" Princess Cheng looked at the child in front of her with a smile.

Teng Yuyi said yes.

"Very good." Princess Cheng patted Teng Yuyi's shoulder in relief, her tone and gestures were full of encouragement, and she almost said "I appreciate you very much". After everything, Concubine Cheng quickly returned to Daoist Priest Qingxuzi.

Juesheng and Qizhi covered their mouths for fun, and Teng Yuyi smiled and glared at them. She was too embarrassed to pretend to be stupid after this incident, and she cleared a lot of evil spirits in one breath. thing.

Once this wave of monsters was eliminated, there was a lot of silence on the surface of Chang'an City. After that, Azhi often invited Teng Yuyi to play in Chengwang Mansion, and Teng Yuyi often invited Azhi to come to Teng Mansion for dinner.

In her spare time, Teng Yuyi will rack her brains to make some exquisite snacks. In addition to routinely tasting them for her aunt and sister, she also does not forget to make a few for Qingyun Temple and Chengwang Mansion, and then put them into brocade boxes and carefully frame them After a while, they either asked Azhi to bring them back to the mansion, or sent them to Chengwang Mansion and Qingyun Temple in person as a return gift. After a few visits, even Taoist Master Qingxuzi was full of praise for Teng Yuyi's craftsmanship.

On this day, Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were invited to the Cheng Palace to participate in a poetry meeting.

Since the corpse evil broke into Chengwang's mansion last time, Princess Azhi's poetry meeting was interrupted. After a few months of rest, Azhi became interested in the idea of ​​poetry again, catching up with her parents and second brother. At home, this poetry meeting was unprecedentedly lively. In addition to the members of the poetry meeting, all the students from Xiangxiang Academy were also invited, and even several princes from the Imperial College of the Imperial College were also invited.

In the middle of the poetry meeting, Nanzhao Crown Prince Gu Xian suddenly left the table and went to bed, Teng Yuyi rested the wine cup on his lips, and winked at Duan Fu outside the pavilion, Duan Fu understood and remained silent He stepped back without saying a word.

***

In the middle of the night, in an exquisite mansion.

A lotus root silk lamp is lit in the corner of the room, and the charming light illuminates the layout of the room faintly. The windows are closed tightly, and the golden incense burner is fragrant. No one in the room speaks, but there are ambiguous and hurried sounds on the bed , After a long time, the rain stopped behind the screen and the wind stopped.

Not long after it was quiet, a man gasped and said a few words, in exchange for a woman's exclamation of embarrassment.

Someone stumbled out from behind the screen, and it was Gu Xian.

His eyes were scattered, his face seemed a little drunk, his python robe was wide open, and the undergarment inside was also half open.

He ran to the table and put on his boots, thinking regretfully about something. After putting on his boots, he didn't leave his bed, but stood there in a daze. Then he whispered something to the woman on the bed.

The bed frame made a slight sound, and the woman turned around lazily.

After a while, the woman spoke intermittently.

"Let's go." The woman's voice was softer than a girl's, and she was still panting when she spoke, "I was very happy that you came to visit me, if it wasn't for entertaining you, I wouldn't have drank too much Cup, how do you know you - tonight I just think you lost your mind after drinking, don't come to me again in the future."

At the end, he began to sob softly.

Gu Xian seemed a little at a loss, and said a few words in a soft voice, and suddenly heard the servant girl outside the door say timidly: "His Royal Highness, Achisai has something urgent to look for."

There was silence in the room, and Gu Xian said to the woman on the bed apologetically, "Don't be afraid, I have everything to do with you. I'll come and see you early."

After finishing speaking, he walked out from behind the screen, walked to the door, looked back with nostalgia, turned around and left in a hurry.

After Gu Xian left, the woman did not get out of bed immediately, but softly called the maids to bring water. Put it aside, let them all retreat.

After the woman tidied herself up, she came out from behind the screen, and the lights flooded her body, illuminating her lazy figure, but she saw that her hair was in a mess, her eyes were crisp and red, and her white and plump curves were looming. Provoking infinite reverie.

There were tears in the corners of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up, as if she had finished her mind, or like a hunter finally caught a prey that satisfied her.

After drinking half a cup of tea, the woman bent down and blew out the lotus root silk lamp on the table, and when she was about to go back to bed to rest, the lamp behind her suddenly turned on again.

The woman suddenly saw the light projected on the curtain, and she couldn't help being startled. Looking back, she saw a young girl in the room.

The young girl was sitting at the table, looking at her with a half-smile.

The woman was about to yell in shock, when a tall black figure approached like a ghost, sealing her acupoints all at once, and then, a cold dagger was stuck on her throat.

"You are safe, Wu Yingying." The girl greeted her with Yan Yuese.

Wu Yingying stared at the girl in surprise.

The girl kindly reminded her: "Don't shout, if you shout, this dagger will kill you immediately."

Wu Yingying was very knowledgeable and nodded while panting.

Teng Yuyi signaled to Duanfu to relieve Wu Yingying's acupoints.

Wu Yingying gasped and said, "Are you the daughter of General Teng?"

Teng Yuyi smiled and said: "I have a good memory. I wanted to visit my old friend, but I didn't expect to encounter such a beautiful scene."

Wu Yingying's face turned red and green, she looked around the room and said, "No, you've already been hiding in the room."

In other words, Mrs. Teng saw all the things between her and Gu Xian tonight.

She was annoyed: "What the **** do you want to do?"

Teng Yuyi shrugged her shoulders: "I'm here to see what this old friend of our family is up to these days. It's not in vain that I have been followed secretly for almost two months, and I saw something amazing when I came here. ‌‌I remember correctly, King Xinchang is Gu Xian's uncle, that is to say, you are Gu Xian's aunt?"

Wu Yingying was so ashamed and annoyed at first, she didn't know what to think, and suddenly smiled: "What does this have to do with you?"

Teng Yuyi looked at the objects in the house by herself, the cormorant cup, the dancing luan mirror, the Ruiguang curtain...these are all rare and valuable things, no matter how much property the King Xinchang leaves behind, I am afraid it will not be worth it ‌Wu Yingying is so extravagant.

I heard that Nanzhao Kingdom has a limited amount of money allocated to royal family members. Wu Yingying has no children and only one husband. Her treatment in Nanzhao Kingdom will only go from bad to worse in the future.

If Wu Yingying is used to the extravagant life she used to be, she has to plan well for her future.

Teng Yuyi shifted her gaze back to Wu Yingying's face, and had to admit that Wu Yingying's appearance is better than most women in the world, perhaps because of her lack of childbirth, her skin is still girlish, and her figure is flimsy It is also more plump and attractive than ordinary women.

I remember that time when Wu Yingying was shopping for spices at the Fendie Building in Xishi, Gu Xian came to pick her up specially. At that time, she was a little strange. ‌Before ‌this hospitality.

She should have guessed that Gu Xian was in love with Wu Yingying.

Wu Yingying is now in her twenties, not much older than Gu Xian.

"In the past two months, Gu Xian has come to you seven times in total, and each time he came alone, without even bringing his followers with him. Tonight, he stayed for more than an hour before leaving." Teng Yuyi smiled. "Before I guessed that you acquiesced in all this, but tonight I saw with my own eyes that you were half-pushing in front of him. Gu Xian is the only son of the king of Nanzhao, and he will inherit his father's throne in the future. He is today You are just twenty, but you have been in love with you for a long time. You have this relationship with him. When he becomes king in the future, he will also take care of you in secret. The prosperity and wealth you want will always be maintained by someone for you .”

Wu Yingying stared at Teng Yuyi. By now, she had already seen that the other party had come prepared. Blindly denying it would only force the other party to throw out more evidence. If she wanted to know the other party's purpose, she had to admit it frankly, so Simply smiled: "Since you came early tonight, you should know that Gu Xian has been courting me from the beginning to the end. Men, no matter how old or young, are all like this. This world is too unfair to women, and men can't do it." Three wives and concubines, women are not allowed to remarry when they become husbands, I am still so light, why should I live like a log? Men and women love each other, I wish you love, but I don’t want to be rich, I am I would also like to have a gentleman who warms my bed, he will come to my door, I never took the initiative."

These words made people blush, and Teng Yuyi couldn't help clearing her throat. Although she hated Wu Yingying, what she said was quite reasonable.

Wu Yingying glanced out of the window calmly.

"As for me, I'm not interested in your matters at all." Teng Yuyi said with a sarcasm, "But I have to remind you, now this house is full of my people, I have already told you in a letter before coming here In regards to Grandpa, if you dare to play tricks, someone will spread your story to Nanzhao Kingdom soon. During this period of time, it is not only our Teng family who are following you, there are as many witnesses as you need. Of course, As long as you cooperate with me obediently, this matter will stop with me."

Wu Yingying's expression is unpredictable, she is obviously weighing the pros and cons, after thinking about it, she was pinched by the other party, she glanced at Teng Yuyi, and sighed with a smile: "Whoa! I'm afraid of you. Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Teng Yuyi's face sank: "That day my grandfather came to see you?"

Wu Yingying bit her lips lightly, as if she was hesitating to speak.

"For the battle of Nanyang?"

Wu Yingying's complexion suddenly became ugly: "Do you know about the Battle of Nanyang?"

Suddenly her skin became cold, and Wu Yingying realized that there was still a dagger on her neck. If she moved forward half an inch, the sharp blade would cut her neck.

"Yu'er, after all, I am also your elder." Wu Yingying forced a smile, "I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the present, so we will meet each other in battle. Take the dagger away."

"Which kind of elder are you?" Teng Yuyi sneered, "I killed you tonight, and no one can find out about us. If you don't want to, you'd better say it out loud , Said, my grandpa came to you to ask you for proof?"

Wu Yingying was silent for a long time, and sighed quietly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that this matter is too cruel. You are a descendant of General Teng, and it may not be pleasant to hear--"

The dagger approached another point, and Wu Yingying's face paled: "I said, I said. Your grandpa asked me if I told you the truth about the Nanyang battle."

***

When Teng Yuyi came out of the house, she was in a mess as if she had just climbed up from purgatory.

Wu Yingying's words pierced her heart word by word.

"Your mother has been ill for several days before I came to your house. I heard that she can't sleep well at night, and she always has horrible dreams."

"How can there be no idea? General Teng has invited monks and Taoists in Yangzhou, but no matter what those people think, they say that there is no evil spirit around your mother. I heard that your mother did it when she was pregnant with you. This kind of nightmare will be fine after just touching you. Your mother saw that you are in good health, so she didn't take it to heart. Who would have thought that on the first Obon Festival, your mother would call you Baolian The temple lit two lanterns to ward off misfortunes and blessings for you father and daughter, and I don’t know what caused it, and the nightmare came again. After doing a few rituals, your mother no longer has nightmares, but her spirit is still not good. "

"How could I know these things? No, no, no, I never bothered to eavesdrop. I was visiting your aunt one day, and I overheard the story from the nurse in charge beside her."

"What dream? A large group of ordinary people, men, women, young and old, all in scanty clothes, surrounded your mother's bed and demanded her life. After a while, this group of people disappeared, your mother! ‌There are only a pile of bones left—if it wasn’t for your mother’s sleep talk at night, the servants would not know how terrible her dreams are.”

"I was actually quite frightened when I heard this, because the scene in Mrs. Teng's dream was inexplicably similar to a past incident I heard from my father. Yes, it was your grandfather and Nanyang soldiers who were trapped in the city. A tragic event at that time."

"Of course I didn't tell you Niang."

"How can this be called sophistry? Of course I don't want to admit what I haven't done, but after hearing what happened in your mother's dream, I began to suspect that your grandfather knew this secret. Your mother's place is a nightmare , It was because I was so frightened by this incident that I fell into a heart attack. Only the Wu family knew about this matter. I went to find your grandfather alone, just to test your grandfather. I heard it from where, but your father was The expression on his face was extremely shocked, and he said that it was the first time he had heard of this.”

"Your mother must have glimpsed the truth in a dream, so she was tortured. Yes, your mother's miscarriage has nothing to do with me. ‌I also slipped a tire once, and that is already the second time.”

"You were only young at that time, so of course you didn't know about these things. Your grandpa was busy making contributions, so he probably didn't think too much about it if it was an accident. He was afraid that your mother would be worried, so he would only invite the best medical experts. Taking care of her, but you still remember that your mother likes to use a kind of fragrance called 'Yuyanhualuo' for her own use. I have long found that the fragrance is not quite right, and the smell is much stronger than when I first smelled it. Later, I I tried to make it according to the formula, only to find that there are a few herbs that can prevent miscarriage mixed in it. In the first few days, I re-mixed it in Fendielou, which once again confirmed my doubts.”

"Yes, wormwood was added. Your mother seems to be determined to fight against something, and desperately wants to keep the fetus. Burning moxa alone is easy to be smelled by people (Note 2), so it has to be mixed with spices. I still can't keep it, I always visit your mother, your heartbroken appearance, anyone who sees it will feel sad."

"It was your mother who took the initiative to ask."

"She asked me to find your grandfather for the study room. I was afraid that your mother would misunderstand and had to tell what happened that day. Your mother was not very surprised after hearing what I said, she just sighed. : It turned out to be true. She thanked me for telling the truth, and sent someone to send me back to the new house to get married. When I left, I accidentally left a handkerchief. When I went back to pick up the handkerchief, I happened to see her hugging you. Weeping in a low voice: It's useless."

"Why should I play the piano for your grandpa in the study? Oh, I have always been conceited of my beauty, but General Teng has never looked at me directly. I am about to get married. I have to find a way to impress your grandpa. Stay with me. It's a pity that your grandfather kicked me out of the study before I finished playing the song.

"It's really embarrassing to think about it. All the men who have dealt with me have looked at me differently, and your grandfather is an exception."

"No, no, no, I never thought about having anything to do with your grandpa. Since I was in exile with my parents, I swore a long time ago that I would not marry a prince or general. Your grandpa already has your mother. I don't want to be a concubine. But, even if I don't want to have anything to do with your grandpa, I want him to remember me."

"You don't have to stare at me like that. A man can make a woman sad, why can't a woman be merciful? I just like to see men fascinated by me. Don't even think about it, ‌ ‌ you Is it worth your aunt's concern that my master will change his mind so easily?"

"It's really a pity to say that such an upright hero didn't leave a good impression on me. I guess when he thinks of me now, he only thinks about the nightmare in Nanyang."

"Your mother is the most beautiful and intelligent woman I have ever seen. She loves you and your grandfather very much. I can confirm this. I was also very sad when I heard that she died of illness. "

"That's right, I haven't been back to the Central Plains these days, but I've been wondering if your mother's death was caused by those innocent souls. ‌‌I suddenly dreamed Auntie, I woke up feeling a little sad. It happened that my old servant Wu Xie was going back to the Central Plains to buy things for me, so I wrote a letter for Wu Xie to bring to General Teng himself. Unfortunately, your grandfather may I still think it was made up by me, and I didn’t reply at all. But it’s not surprising that he doesn’t believe it, after all, I only heard it from my father once.”

***

Teng Yuyi didn't know that she walked into the alley.

At this point, she finally found out why Grandpa Bai kept silent. What Wu Yingying said not only shocked her, but also terrified her from the bottom of her heart.

She was shivering from the cold, and every step she took was extremely strenuous.

"Lady." Cheng Bo and others quietly came out from the dark place, and waited for Teng Yuyi's instructions. It's not a big deal tonight's matter. He was afraid that something might go wrong, so he came over in person .

Teng Yuyi waved her hand in despair: "Withdraw."

Worried, Cheng Bo turned around and let all the hidden guards around him retreat.

"Wait a minute." Teng Yuyi said again suddenly.

Cheng Bo is waiting for orders.

"Grandfather was not in the city a while ago, and he stayed in Xiying and Jinsouyuan. In fact, did he ever visit the Bodhi Temple?"

"Bodhi Temple?"

"The house near the Weishui River. When I returned to Chang'an a few months ago, I fell into the water near there. After I was rescued, I had an extra sword in my hand. Grandpa said, I passed by that house when I was young. Bodhi Temple, my mother once took me ashore to burn incense."

Cheng Bo was stunned for a moment: "Master is indeed wronged. Back then, my wife was trapped in Dayin Temple. When I was visiting my wife in the temple, I told Abbot Yuanjue about my wife's repeated encounters with evil spirits." I don’t know what Abbot Yuanjue said, but after leaving the temple, the master left Chang’an overnight. According to Lu Yan, the master found the abbot of the Bodhi Temple and asked the old abbot a lot of questions.”

Teng Yuyi's heart was in turmoil, and Grandpa suddenly became suspicious because of what happened to her. After being reminded by Abbot Yuanjue, he began to actively investigate what happened at that time.

Bodhi Temple, Bodhi Temple...

Supreme bodhi, wisdom to give to all .

She raised the Yaya sword in her hand in a daze. In the past few months, she often thought about a question. Why did such an ancient sword suddenly appear beside her? It turned out that it didn't come out of thin air a chance.

Ya said that someone saved her life, but her parents were already gone when she was killed in the previous life. After learning that Lin Chengyou came to rescue her that night, she always thought about changing her life for her. Could it be Lin Chengyou who died? Maybe the spell was too scary, even if Lin Chengyou changed her fate, she and her father were still trapped in this weird puzzle after waking up.

The same bad luck is inevitable.

Different from her previous life, this time she has an extra divine sword in her hand, and Jie Ya helped her overcome the evils, help her cast down demons, and let her meet Lin Chengyou in advance——

This encounter may be the only chance that their father and daughter can grasp at present.

Did A Niang pray for her before the Buddha? Teng Yuyi's tears fell silently. The moment Grandpa found out the truth, his heart must have been broken.

Suddenly I heard someone calling her: "Miss Teng."

It turned out to be a sage and an abandonment of wisdom.

They had heard Teng Yuyi's voice a long time ago, but they hadn't seen her getting into the car for a long time. When they opened the curtain of the car, they saw Teng Yuyi standing in the alley with one hand propped on the wall, and her whole body was in the shadows , as if frozen.

Teng Yuyi walked slowly towards the front of the car. Usually, she could easily step onto the white car shaft, but today it was as high as a cliff. In the end, Duan Fu held her arm and pushed her up with his strength. car.

Jue Sheng and Abandoned Wisdom became more and more anxious, and Mrs. Teng's face was so ugly that she looked like she was seriously ill: "Ms. Teng, is something wrong?"

Teng Yuyi fell to the seat, the truth was even crueler than she thought, she was cold and uncomfortable, but she knew that she had to sort out all these things as soon as possible.

"Miss Teng, let's go home quickly. There have been a lot of evil spirits coming into the city recently. Look outside, it's very cloudy, and the sky is not right."

Teng Yuyi recovered, and said resolutely: "Let's go back to Qingyun Temple to find the Taoist priest. Earlier, the Taoist priest told me about a spell called 'Wrong Hook Curse', and asked me if any ancestors of the Teng family offended me. Who was it, I said I didn’t know that time, but tonight I... I think I know the answer.”

***

Outside Caizhou City.

Amidst the shouts that shook the sky, arrows of locusts and huge boulders and trees were thrown down from under the city wall.

This is the end of the campaign to counter the rebellion.

This is also the last stop of Peng Zhen's tenacious resistance.

Only by defending Caizhou, Peng Zhenfang has a chance to break out of the encirclement before Zhen Haijun sends reinforcements, and he can lead 20,000 remnants to Huihe. If he loses it, he will be really defeated.

The weather is hot and the morale of the army is fluctuating. On the one hand, there are imperial soldiers and horses who have won battles one after another, and on the other is the Peng family army who fought hard. In terms of morale alone, Peng Zhen won by a margin. For several days in a row, the two sides were in a stalemate .

In the middle of the night, a hailstone suddenly fell from the sky. The situation was extremely strange, and it was extremely hot right now, so the hailstone could only be the spell of a stranger around Peng Zhen.

Compared to the anxiety of the sergeants, Lin Chengyou seemed calm and relaxed. He stood in front of the tent with a golden bow on his back, looking in the direction of Caizhou City.

Teng Shao's Zhen Haijun is coming from the direction of Xuzhou. The two armies will join forces, and tonight is the time to break the city.

At this time, a lieutenant general ran up and said, "Report! The city of Caizhou is on fire. It looks like an armory in the direction. The soldiers on the city wall are busy fighting the fire, and the hail has stopped falling."

A smirk appeared on Lin Chengyou's mouth: "Go up the ladder, give him another fire."

However, there was an uproar in the camp behind him, and someone said anxiously: "Your Majesty, General Liu from the Navy is here."

I saw a general in the middle of the country riding a horse to the front, sweating profusely: "My son, it's not good, General Teng was plotted by thieves halfway."

As soon as he touched Teng Yuyi's lips and tongue, Lin Chengyou's mouth seemed to be on fire. The sweetest wine in the world was between her lips and teeth. , Drunkness seems to be contagious, as if for a moment, only the sweet breath of her body remained in his mind, he was intoxicated and unable to extricate himself, he bit her lip and whispered: "Ayu."

Teng Yuyi didn't know if she was drunk or stupid, her body was warm and soft like a cat, she was in his arms, obediently being kissed by him.

Lin Chengyou thought fascinatedly, she is so drunk, does she know what he is doing to her? But he couldn't stop anymore, he couldn't control his body, so he could only touch her lips and ask in a low voice: "Ayu?"

Teng Yuyi struggled a bit, like a child who was drinking a lot of sweet syrup and was suddenly taken away by someone. Not only was he dissatisfied, but he was almost out of temper, and pressed his lips against his lips in annoyance, without any rules Bite hard.

Lin Chengyou lightly sucked the tip of her tongue, and she knocked his teeth, and he kissed the corner of her lips instead, and she sucked his lips.

This reckless enthusiasm made Lin Chengyou feel like he was on fire, and the bud in his heart couldn't bear the strong throbbing, and swelled into the most gorgeous flower in the world.

How can a person's heart contain so much joy? The blissful breeze blows and takes him up to the high clouds. He is like a white crane riding the breeze, wantonly flying in the sky. soar.

He clasped her clinging hands, and responded more recklessly than her, but Teng Yuyi's body was surprisingly soft, and when he leaned forward a little, she couldn't hold back and fell back.

In desperation, Lin Chengyou stretched out his hand to protect the back of Teng Yuyi's head, but at this moment of confusion, Teng Yuyi fell onto the tile.

When she fell down, Teng Yuyi was still holding Lin Chengyou's arm, and dragged him down too. Lin Chengyou protected the back of her head with one hand, and supported her head with the other.

The tiles on the eaves were pressed by the bodies of the two people, and there was a sound, which was particularly ear-piercing in this silent night.

Then, there was a strange scream from below.

Lin Chengyou's hair exploded. He only knew indulgence and indulgence just now. He had long forgotten that there was a group of people underneath. The tip of the nose of the two of them was touching the tip of the nose. Thinking about it, Lin Chengyou looked at the delicate face in his arms like a budding bud, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only leave her bright red lips for a while.

Standing his elbows, he turned his head to listen. The yard was surprisingly quiet, and those people had somehow avoided it.

It seems that there is only one handsome slave left in the yard, but Lin Chengyou knew that those servants must be nearby listening to the movement on the roof. The child who had had enough of the sweet syrup yawned against his chest, and then remained silent.

Lin Chengyou couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, his ears were still beating, but Teng Yuyi fell asleep as soon as he said it.

Subconsciously, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, only to realize that her lip had been bitten off.

Tsk, tonight - not only was he kissed by her, he was almost bitten by her.

This kiss is like a seal that will never be worn out, once it is imprinted on him, it will be a lifetime. No matter from which angle you look at it, he, Lin Chengyou, is her Teng Yuyi's man.

Similarly, she, Teng Yuyi, has already belonged to Lin Chengyou.

If she had forgotten about it early on, who would he talk to?

Before the two of them returned to the courtyard, he couldn't help but fiddle with the broken cheeks on Teng Yuyi's cheeks, and then gently pinched her nose, really wanting to ask her: Teng Yuyi, do you remember? Remember me and you tonight—the words were on the verge of my mouth and I changed my words softly: "Ayu? Ayu?"

It seemed that he couldn't wake up, so Lin Chengyou had no choice but to wrap Teng Yuyi's body in a cloak and hug her, went back to the eaves, and fell into the yard.

Of course there is only Jun Nu underneath, and the others have gone somewhere.

Lin Chengyou coughed cheekily.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Bo came out from the gate of the courtyard with his servants.

Lin Chengyou said in a very ordinary tone: "She fell asleep, take her back to the house and settle down."

"Your Majesty, please come forward and serve me quickly." Cheng Bo's always kind face showed a bit of unnaturalness, Duan Fu's face seemed more expressionless than usual, and the rest of them The servant girl was either blushing, or her eyes were twinkling.

Biluo and Chunrong rushed to get Teng Yuyi back to the room, and hurriedly put on a blanket, but just as their hands touched Teng Yuyi's arm, Teng Yuyi's alcohol surged up again, first retching a few times, and then pushing away the hand of the second maid : "Don't..."

The corner of Cheng Bo's mouth twitched, and the lady writhed in Prince Cheng's arms, like a meat worm. Fortunately, Prince Cheng can bear this. Drunk people are heavier than usual, he is not easy to approach, even though Duanfu is an eunuch, he has no reason to carry his wife into the boudoir.

If you ask someone from the outer courtyard to get a shoulder truck immediately, the width of the shoulder gun can only be carried to the corridor at best, no matter how long it is, it will not be able to enter the door.

"Lift!" Cheng Bo decisively ordered Chunrong and Biluo to lift Teng Yuyi's head and shoulders, another group of maids were responsible for lifting Teng Yuyi's waist and hips, and the rest lifted their knees and legs.

It looks ugly, but this is already the best way.

Seeing the maidservants swarming up, Lin Chengyou took a step back holding Teng Yuyi: "Hey, she must be so troublesome, what if she falls? Since she doesn't want you to touch her, let me send her in."

The people in the yard looked at each other, hugged and kissed, and it didn't seem too much to send them off for a while, besides, they all saw it just now, it was the lady who took the initiative to eat the milk, and it was a success Prince Wang's lips are broken...

Hey, I'm too embarrassed to stare,

Now the lady is not letting go...

When he was stunned, Lin Chengyou had already carried the man to the door of the outer room. Chunrong and Biluo hurriedly followed, opened the door and led Lin Chengyou to the back room.

Lin Chengyou entered Teng Yuyi's boudoir for the first time, although he didn't look sideways, he didn't care to glance at a few corners.

There is a black plain piano on the table, so she likes to play the piano. There are a lot of toys hanging on the curtain in front of the bed, such as dolls, paper kites, sachets, fans... the variety is surprisingly lively.

When he got to the bed, Lin Chengyou gently put him on the bed, and was about to straighten himself up, but Teng Yuyi grabbed the front of the bed again.

Lin Chengyou's face became hot, and this tugging would have dragged him to the bed. Biluo and Chunrong were in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled out the doll from under the pillow and stuffed it into Teng Yuyi's arms.

Teng Yuyi hugged the puppet and whispered a few words, then let go of her hand happily.

Lin Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief, and instead looked at the puppet in Teng Yuyi's arms. This puppet was left to her by her mother. After so many years, she still cherishes it.

He touched the puppet's head gently, but unexpectedly smelled a foul smell.

This smell... He frowned, how could it smell like saliva.

Smelled it again, yes, it floated out of the puppet, someone else would definitely not be able to smell it, but who told him that his sense of smell is better than others.

Teng Yuyi is so big that she still drools while sleeping...

Biluo and Chunrong hurriedly said: "This puppet is left by the madam for the lady. It looks very old, but the maidservants clean it all the time."

Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi's peaceful sleeping face for a while, and knew that it would not be appropriate to leave any more, so he took off the jade pendant around his waist and put it next to Teng Yuyi's pillow, and said to Teng Yuyi who was still sleeping soundly: "This is The jade pendant I've been wearing since then, you can enter the palace directly with this. I'm leaving, you take good care of yourself."

After saying a few words, Teng Yuyi only got a series of impatient grunts.

Lin Chengyou lowered his brows and smiled, straightened his body, took out the pair of step rockers from his arms and put them beside Teng Yuyi's pillow, then turned and walked out.

***

Dali Temple, Service Pavilion.

There was a bright light in the cabinet, it was very late, there was a young official who was still sitting in front of the case and sorting out the files, it was Yan Sizhi.

Under the light, Yan Sizhi's face looked a little tired.

Lin Chengyou: "Brother Yan."

Yan Sizhi rubbed his face to cheer himself up: "You came just in time, here, the cases are all here."

Lin Chengyou took it with a smile and said, "Brother Lao Yan is here."

Looking through it, the case file not only compiled the testimonies of Zhuang Mu, Mrs. Jingchen, Song Jian, Lu Zhaoan, Wu Qi, Wang Yu and other people involved in the case, but also transcribed the guests of Ziyun Tower on the night the tree demon appeared. The list, even the banquet list of the British government on the day of Hu Jizhen's accident was not included.

As for the "New Moon Mirror", "Tianshui Shiluo", "Silver Silk Weapon" and other related evidence, they are also listed one by one.

In other words, from the sudden appearance of the dryad in Ziyun Tower on the night of the Shangsi Festival, to the house in Pingkangfang where Eji took poison, the details of a series of related cases were meticulously sorted out.

This is Yan Sizhi, Lin Chengyou thought silently, since his first day at Dali Temple, Yan Sizhi has been here, no matter whether it is a shocking case or a trivial case, as long as it is handed over In Yan Sizhi's hands, he would never be treated perfunctorily.

Just thinking about it, Yan Si said straightly: "Although the master behind the Haoyue Sanren is cautious, it seems that there are no flaws. If you check it like this, it will not be far from being caught. By the way, Lin commented Actually, the house in Moer Lane is really the ancestral home of the Confucian businessman Wang Jiuen from Yangzhou?"

Lin Chengyou nodded: "This person and Lu Zhaoan are old acquaintances in Yangzhou. The lovesickness Gu used by Lu Zhaoan to seduce women was given by Wang Jiuen. Before going to Beijing for the exam, Wang Jiuen instructed Lu Zhaoan to find Eji in Pingkang Fang Lu Zhaoan won Kuiyuan, and they officially began to win over Lu Zhaoan. On that day, Wang Jiuen planned to invite Lu Zhaoan to meet the master behind the scenes, but unexpectedly, Mr. Hu Jizhen broke into Lu's house and something bad happened. Wang Jiuen escaped from Chang'an on the day of the accident, and his whereabouts are unknown now. ‌. A few days ago, I checked the household registration in Wan County, and it was confirmed that this house has always been under the name of Wang Jiuen.”

"Looking at it this way, this house is one of the places they usually use for secret communication and deployment?"

Lin Chengyou was silent for a moment: "It's a pity that the old things in the house have already been cleaned up. Even if there are some traces left, it will not be a one-day search. I have ordered the house to be temporarily blocked, and I will check it later. .”

Just as Yan Sizhi was about to answer, he was surprised to find that Lin Pingshi's lip was broken. It didn't look like it was broken in a fight, but it looked like it was bitten...

This is not surprising, the strangest thing is that Lin Pingshi's expression is indescribably disturbed, he is discussing the case, but his expression is not as bright as before, but there is a kind of deliberately avoiding it. ‌I feel...

Yan Sizhi suddenly thought that Lin Chengyou had asked for the holy man's handwriting in the evening, so he could go to the Yuzhennv Crown Temple.

"Lin Pingshi, did you find something in the observation?"

Now that we have found the key clues of the master behind the scenes, Lin Pingshi is reluctant to continue.

But Lin Chengyou said: "It's too late, my sister-in-law is still waiting for Brother Yan at home, right? I'm just about to enter the palace, so I'll send Brother Yan home by the way."

When Yan Sizhi heard his wife's name, his expression suddenly softened a little, he looked at the floor drain in the corner of the room apologetically, and turned around to sort out the papers: "Let's go now."

When the two walked out, Lin Chengyou said: "I'm going out of Beijing today, and these cases will be put aside for the time being. I will send the case files to the palace first, and I will continue when I return to Beijing." Check it out."

Yan Si didn't know that Lin Chengyou was going to lead the Shence Army to go out immediately, so he was stunned: "When will Lin Pingshi come back? You will definitely send the case to the palace, you are not in Beijing During this period of time, I can go to those streets and alleys to walk around more, and after a long time, maybe I can find some clues."

Lin Chengyou said: "It's useless. This person acts more cautiously than the Peng family, and he doesn't necessarily have fewer eyes and ears than the Peng family. If Brother Yan finds out something, I'm afraid they will be against you. There are a few other tricky cases, just to ask brother Yan to be distracted and help investigate."

Yan Si was stunned for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Alright, let's talk about it when you come back."

At the gate of Yan's house, the servants at the gate came out with lanterns.

Yan Sizhi's salary can't buy a house, this narrow house was rented.

Yan Sizhi got off his horse and entered. There was a young woman whispering in the door. Lin Chengyou knew that it was the voice of Yan Sizhi's wife. Come out to meet.

Yan Sizhi whispered a few words to his wife, and after a short while he turned around and took Lin Chengyou's rein and said enthusiastically, "Zhuojing cooked supper, and Lin Pingshi will leave after eating."

Lin Chengyou has always been unassuming. In the past, when it was too late to handle the case, he also went to their house for supper.

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "Usually I have to go to the palace to disturb my wife. I really don't have time today. I have to go to the palace to discuss some important matters with my uncle."

Yan Sizhi had no choice but to let go of the rein: "Then we won't force you to stay. There are no lights nearby, so go, Brother Yan will carry a lantern to send you out of the alley."

As he spoke, he held up a lantern to lead the way.

Lin Chengyou thanked: "No need, I can night vision. Brother Yan, please go back, I will not be in Beijing for a while, Brother Yan, take good care of yourself. Don't investigate the case, I will talk about it when I return to Beijing."

This was the third time Lin Chengyou asked him not to look any further down tonight, Yan Sizhi was taken aback for a moment, no matter how puzzled he was, he had no choice but to agree.

Lin Chengyou was a little relieved: "Then I'm leaving, Brother Yan, take care."

"Heart on the road." Yan Sizhi stayed where he was and watched Lin Chengyou off.

Lin Chengyou cupped his hands, and when he rode his horse out of the alley, he turned his head and looked back. Yan Sizhi was still holding up the lantern to light the way for him.

Soldiers are precious and fast, Lin Chengyou didn't delay any longer, rode his horse and swung his whip, and galloped into the night in an instant.

***

In the palace, the emperor and Taoist priest Qingxuzi waited for news while playing chess.

When Ye Leu pointed at Zi, Lin Chengyou finally came back.

‌The father-in-law brought someone to present a supper, and stepped back lightly.

"Kuan Nu said that you gave Jun Nu away." Qing Xuzi squinted his eyes and looked at his disciples, "Send it somewhere?"

"Give it to Lady Teng." Lin Chengyou said frankly.

"It's so late?"

Lin Chengyou didn't change his face: "I went to Dali Temple to find Yan Sizhi."

Sitting under the lamp while talking, Ah Han and Qing Xuzi saw Lin Chengyou's face, and they fell silent for a while.

Lin Chengyou subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, and felt that it was too guilty to do so, so he simply drank the porridge without saying a word, and covered his lips with the bowl in his hand, but the porridge was a bit hot, which made his wound hurt, and he was afraid of the two The elders saw the clue and could only stand firm.

Qing Xuzi pushed a jade oak tree to his disciple: "Drink slowly, don't burn your mouth."

Lin Chengyou almost choked, it was a lump of ice.

Ahan kindly changed the topic: "Go back to Dali Temple to hand over the case at hand?"

Lin Chengyou answered as if nothing had happened: "Yan Sizhi has sorted out the case files of Haoyue Sanren's group of people who committed crimes. If Huaixi Road turns against the flag, that person will definitely have something to do. It is not safe to put these evidences in Dali Temple , or simply let the uncle keep it himself.”

Ahan took over the stack of case reports, and his expression became more and more dignified as he turned over them.

Lin Chengyou said: "This person has been preparing for a long time, and he is already ready to make a move. It would be best if the rebellion can be put down as soon as possible. If it is delayed for a long time, this person may take the opportunity to cause chaos..."

Ahan thought about it for a while: "War is about knowing yourself and the enemy. No matter how meticulous Peng Zhen's preparations were, he would never have expected that Teng Shao had received the news a few months ago. Not only that, he also immediately told Lin Xiao about it. Huaixi Road is now a sieve with air leaks everywhere, and the details have been found out before the war started. Uncle gave you a two-month time limit after consideration. Even if the counter-insurgency campaign is extended to halfway The loss of troops in the middle is not too big, even if that person took advantage of the chaos to plot rebellion, it would not be possible."

Lin Chengyou didn't say anything, it was this that confused him.

The rebellion of the Peng family was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for that person. For example, in the "previous life" Li Huaigu said, it took the court three years to successfully put down the rebellion. Once again, if the rebellion catches up with uncle's old illness, the rebellion will naturally have a great chance of winning, so the gang of Haoyue Sanren will do everything possible to force the Peng family to rebel within the day.

Now that the news of the Peng family's rebellion has been leaked ahead of time, this means that the campaign to counter the rebellion may be shortened.

Does that person know about this?

Give up this opportunity and continue to wait for the next rebellious "Peng family"? Or do you take other actions instead?

It is absolutely impossible to give up, but it is not easy to wait for the next rebel with the same strength.

Take another action instead——

Lin Chengyou said: "Uncle, I remember that my nephew told you that day that Haoyue Sanren once predicted that there would be a catastrophe in Chang'an..."

This conversation took more than half an hour unconsciously.

Ahan was silent for a long time, and said to Lin Chengyou: "Uncle knows it well. When your grandparents return to Chang'an in the future, I will discuss the countermeasures with them. It's a pity that you left before dawn, and there is no time to meet them ‌..."

Dao Priest Qing Xuzi sighed: "Well, well, your child is blessed with great destiny, and the master is not worried about anything. By the way, you met Mrs. Teng before, did you ask her about the wrong spell? Does she know that she has been cursed?"

Lin Chengyou was already filled with strong unease. Hearing this, he left the table, knelt down and kowtowed several times to the two elders. "Speaking of this, there is something I would like to ask my master and uncle."

Ahan and Qingxuzi looked at each other, and gradually understood: "Just tell me."

"My uncle and master must have known my feelings for Mrs. Teng. She is the one who is most worried about this expedition. Just like what master said, the person who cast the curse intentionally made her not live to be sixteen years old, and Maybe it's because there are more than one person who cast the curse, and the technique of "borrowing life" alone can't resolve it, so someone in the "previous life" borrowed her life for her, and she still bears the grudge when she comes back. If it can’t be solved, Teng Yuyi will always be trapped in this puzzle. But——‌‌The curse originated from the battle of Nanyang, and Teng Yuyi is innocent?”

Ahan and Qingxuzi sighed in unison.

Lin Chengyou said solemnly: "Although Teng Yuyi and I have only known each other for a few months, we have experienced countless things. We have resisted the big monsters that the world cannot tolerate together, and we have caught treacherous people together. She always said that I was her savior. But she has saved me many times. Her disciples don't know all about her "previous life", but her disciples are very clear about Teng Yuyi's fortitude and bravery in this life. She risked her life because she wanted to live In the next day, when the rebel army is suppressed, the disciple will come back to help her dissolve the curse. No matter how difficult the solution is, the disciple will give up his life and give it a try.”

Ahan's expression changed slightly, and Qingxuzi's eyebrows were raised upside down: "You child——"

"During the period when the apprentice and grandson are not in Chang'an, I will entrust the safety of Teng Yuyi to the elders." Lin Chengyou bowed his head and bowed.

The air in the hall was heavy, Ahan turned his head to look at the master, and sighed: "Good boy, don't worry, even if you don't ask, uncle will take good care of Mrs. Teng with your parents and master."

Lin Chengyou still refused to come, obviously still waiting for the promise from his master.

Qingxuzi looked at his disciples with a sullen face, saying that it is not so easy to dissolve this venomous spell. This child was hit with a love calamity, he was supposed to be on the "Unfeeling Gu", but the child was still tempted when it was time to be tempted, now it seems that the so-called "robbery" is due to the wrong hook curse of Mrs. Teng superior.

Seeing his disciple's preoccupation, Qing Xuzi finally softened, and sighed: "Let's go."

Lin Chengyou's long eyebrows stretched, and he kowtowed several times before he was willing to get out.

***

When Teng Yuyi woke up, it was just dawn, and when she opened her eyes, she suddenly felt dizzy.

She covered her forehead, was she drunk last night? It seemed that he was still quite drunk, and he thought about it in a daze, but couldn't think of anything for a while, and wanted to lie back in bed, when he suddenly heard a strange noise outside the window, followed by a thud , it was the startled and frightened laughter of the maids: "Oh, this leopard has such a temper——"

Leopard?

I heard Bi Luo scolding: "Shut up your voice! The lady is still sleeping."

Teng Yuyi put down the puppet in his arms suspiciously, lifted the quilt to get out of bed, and looked at the sky outside the window. Strange things are placed beside the pillow.

Turning around, it is a lacquered flat box with flowers and birds in mother-of-pearl.

Beside the lacquer box is a jade pendant with a bright and cold jade.

Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, then he called out in bewilderment, "Chunrong, Biluo."

While shouting, he took the piece of jade pendant and identified it carefully. He couldn't help being surprised. Isn't this the piece that Lin Chengyou usually wears around his waist.

When he ran to her bed?

Chunrong and Biluo came in after hearing the sound: "Miss, are you awake?"

Teng Yuyi was puzzled: "Who sent this jade pendant?"

Chunrong and Biluo looked at each other awkwardly: "The Prince Cheng stayed here last night."

Teng Yuyi was confused, last night? Has Lin Chengyou been here?

She vaguely felt something was wrong: "He came here at a later date? Why didn't I know."

"My lady, you are drunk and insist on entering the courtyard as a royal son." Chun Rong brutally exposed the truth.

"My lady, you really don't remember anything?" Bi Luo muttered.

Teng Yuyi held her head and thought hard for a while. Although her mind was a mess, she managed to capture a few incomplete paintings. Thinking about it, her scalp exploded and she almost fell off the bed.

It's over, she seems to have done something terrible.

Chunrong and Biluo took off the coats on the red sandalwood hanger, and went to help Teng Yuyi put on the clothes. While Teng Yuyi was lying down, Biluo whispered a few words in her ear.

Teng Yuyi swayed again. What? She pawed Lin Chengyou last night, and... hugged his face and kissed him?

It was as if she had been hit by a huge thunderbolt, and she was stunned and confused for a while. She looked blankly at first, then turned around and got into the quilt, covered her head in a panic, and said loudly in the quilt: "Impossible, it is impossible for me to do such a thing."

Biluo and Chunrong said with bitter faces: "How dare maidservants talk nonsense, last night the lady was like a gourd vine entangled with Prince Cheng, not to mention maidservants, Cheng Bo and Duan Fudu can't tear you off him."

Gourd vine? Teng Yuyi trembled all over.

She closed her eyes tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense."

But she knew in her heart that what Chunrong and Biluo said was the truth, even if she had forgotten everything else, she vaguely remembered that she once held Lin Chengyou's face...

She had never looked at him so closely, assuming she was just dreaming, she would never be able to trace his eyebrows and eyes so clearly.

Teng Yuyi's ears were red, and there was a pit in front of her, so she would jump off without hesitation. Just covering her face was not enough, she began to twist and twist on the bed wrapped in a quilt, but even if she twisted herself into a twist, she couldn't get rid of the deep shame that made people want to burrow into the ground. ‌.

Chunrong leaned over and picked the quilt on La Teng Yuyi's head: "My lady, don't worry about yourself. In addition to this jade pendant, Prince Cheng also sent a black panther. This leopard has a very arrogant temper. I don't care about anyone in the corridor. If the lady doesn't believe it, just go out and have a look."

Teng Yuyi remained motionless.

Twisting around on the bed was ineffective, so she decided to pretend.

Biluo and Chunrong looked at the silent "long bug" on the bed, and helplessly spread their hands: "My lady, you've already done the work, so it's useless to hide, isn't it?"

It's like she's got Lin Chengyou in her hands. Teng Yuyi curled her fingers in embarrassment, only to realize that she was still holding Lin Chengyou's jade pendant. She subconsciously let go of her hand, and then held it tightly again. This jade pendant is Lin Chengyou's personal belonging. At the moment, she is under the quilt, rolling around for a long time, what if she can't find it later.

"The two Taoist priests have also come, saying that they are waiting for Mrs. Teng to send off the senior brother together."

Teng Yuyi remained motionless.

"If it's not too late, it will be too late."

Teng Yuyi closed her eyes even tighter in annoyance, what did she say when she saw Lin Chengyou? She was the one who took the initiative to belittle him last night, kissing and hugging him in front of a crowd of people, even Leopard Junnu can attest to this. Thinking about this, she wished she could be ashamed on the spot.

Ashamed to see anyone, she decided not to leave the house for the whole day.

Chunrong handed the lacquer box next to the pillow to the quilt: "Lady, this is also sent by Prince Cheng, the servant girl looks like the one that the lady lost in Yuzhen Nuguanguan a while ago. .”

The quilt was silenced for a moment, and Teng Yuyi got out.

In the lacquer box lies a pearl walking stick, which looks very familiar.

Looking at the lacquer box in disbelief, Teng Yuyi took a step and shook it, gently turning it with her fingertips. There was nothing wrong with it, it was the one A Niang left her.

At the beginning, this step fell into the underground palace. Afterwards, she wanted to find the Jade True Girl Crown, but now the Taoist temple is not allowed to enter unless it is a sage. , Such a single step was lost in it, and the logic has long been lost.

Lin Chengyou...

Buyao's light was reflected in Teng Yuyi's dark eyes, her chest was heaving, her cheeks were still hot, she stretched her legs to the side of the bed, she slumped her head and said with her shoes on: "Prepare clothes, I Go out now."

Biluo and Chunrong look at each other in surprise.

Teng Yuyi finished washing in a hurry, sat in front of the dressing table to dress up, and suddenly thought of something: "Bring over the boxes of flower cakes I made a few days ago. By the way, there is also the one I made for Grandpa Take the green summer clothes with the Buddha's head, too."

After packing up and leaving the outhouse, I suddenly saw the black panther lying on the porch.

"Junu." Teng Yuyi stepped forward happily.

The front of the black panther is surrounded by curious maids. It rests its two big paws reservedly. Bi Yingying's eyes are full of disdain. When Teng Yuyi calls it, she looks back lazily.

Teng Yuyi handed the food box to Duan Fu in front of the steps, knelt down and touched Jun Nu's head: "Come on, go out with me."

Without saying a word, he took the gold rope on Jun Nu's collar and walked out quickly.

It was rare for Junnu to be obedient, and he obediently kept up with Teng Yuyi's pace, and he grew up under the envious eyes of the maids.

Juesheng and Qizhi came early in the morning, and Kuannu was also waiting in the middle hall. Lin Chengyou was very confident in Junnu's spirituality, but he was also afraid that it would cause trouble in Teng's mansion. Before leaving, he specially told Kuannu to let him Come here and guide the servants of Teng Mansion to feed the leopard.

"Miss Teng." Juesheng and Qizhi happily surrounded him, with Kuannu respectfully saluting beside him.

"Is Junu obedient last night? Anyway, we will live in your mansion these days, and we will do the job of feeding it."

"It's very well-behaved." Teng Yu said kindly, "Kuannu, I forgot to give something to the son, do you know that your son is about to leave?"

Kuan Nu said loudly: "The son has already explained, if Mrs. Teng wants to send him off in person, let someone lead the way, yes."

Teng Yuyi was speechless, how could he expect that she wanted to send him off in person? When will Lin Chengyou's stink of overconfidence be corrected?

If not—

That's all.

"Then lead the way quickly." Teng Yuyi cleared her throat.

On the way, Juesheng and Qizhi said embarrassingly: "I have to bother Madam Teng for a while again. Brother has explained that before he returns to Chang'an, we have to stay by Madam Teng's side."

Teng Yuyi smiled and said: "What are you talking about, I can't ask for more. I have long wanted to invite you to live in the mansion. I asked Cheng Bo to clean up the yard where you lived last time. You can do whatever you want in the mansion." , tell me what you want to eat and play.”

Qi Zhi smiled for a while, caught a glimpse of the Xuanyin bell on Teng Yuyi's wrist, and hurriedly took out a stone-like object from his arms: "Brother, once you leave, you won't be able to hear the Xuanyin bell warning again. I want to give this Yingling Stone to Shigong, but Shigong is too old. After thinking about it, I had to let me here. Brother said that I sleep lighter than Juesheng. Put it on me. What's the matter with Mrs. Teng? It can also be detected in time."

Jueshengdao: "Senior brother put this Yingling stone in his arms in the past, so whenever Mrs. Teng has something, the senior brother will know immediately."

Teng Yuyi took Yingling and rubbed the stone lightly, the carriage was unusually quiet, the two of them saw that she just looked at the stone and did not speak, and it was difficult to speak again.

Kuan Nu kept urging the driver, "Go to Fanglin Gate."

The Shence army was hoarding troops at Longshouyuan in the north of the city, and they had to leave from the north of the city when they went on an expedition. It was still early in the morning, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

When they rushed to the outside of the city, it was a step too late. The Shence Army was divided into the Gyeonggi area and the inner road. In addition to Chang'an, it was also distributed in Fengtian, Fufeng, Huxian, and Shanzhou towns. Fifty thousand troops were dispatched to counter the rebellion. Even though the saint had issued a secret call the day before yesterday, it would take at least two or three days to gather all the soldiers under his command.

As the chief general of the Shence Army, Lin Chengyou should have left camp before dawn.

Fortunately, today's saints are politically transformed. As long as they are not marching in secret, the court allows the family members of the generals to watch each other outside the city gate. In front of a hill not far away.

When they climbed up the hill, they happened to see the marching army that was fading away.

The imperial court intentionally mistook Huaixi Road for the main counter-insurgency force to be the Shence Army. Therefore, the expedition was very grand. The golden light is comparable to the rising sun bursting out. It was early summer, and the cool wind was blowing over Longshouyuan, and the marching banners fluttered with the wind.

Teng Yuyi chased up the steep hillside, wishing he could not see Lin Chengyou's figure, Juesheng and Qizhi stretched their necks to look around, stomped their feet: "What can we do."

Teng Yuyi held the food box in his arms and looked on tiptoe, when he suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping out of the city.

At the front is a heroic young general, wearing a military uniform with a whip, a red scarf on his forehead, and a golden longbow on his back (Note 1).

This young man, chatting and laughing, gallops past under the red-gold morning sun, looking as beautiful as a god. His appearance immediately attracted the low voices of the female relatives under the city wall: "Look, that is the son of Prince Cheng."

"Lin Chengyou." Teng Yuyi was surprised and delighted, and quickly turned around and ran down, but her low call was drowned out by the soaring drumbeat in an instant.

The sound of the drums is heart-pounding, as if cheering for the soldiers going out.

Or there is a limit to the military situation ahead, and Lin Chengyou didn't stop when he passed under the city wall, and went straight to the vast mausoleum ahead.

For a while, the smoke and dust billowed, and the noise shook the ground.

Teng Yuyi chased after him for a while, seeing that Lin Chengyou's figure was about to disappear in the march of the brigade, so he had to stop holding the food box.

At this time, Lin Chengyou seemed to have sensed something, he stopped the horse abruptly, and looked back.

Teng Yuyi was overjoyed and tried her best to climb to the top of the mountain again, but the distance was too far to see Lin Chengyou's expression.

Indeed, Lin Chengyou didn't see anything, because he was focusing on Fanglin Gate. According to the custom in the past, the family members would usually send each other off under the city wall.

He looked back carefully for a long time, but he couldn't catch the familiar figure, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but it didn't hurt him. When I wake up, I will definitely come to see you off.

It's a pity that the military situation has changed and we have to rush to Shanzhou before tonight. He can't wait any longer. He quickly calmed down and was about to turn around when he suddenly realized something. His eyes shifted and he looked into the distance An inconspicuous hill.

Then, he saw several black spots on the hill.

Lin Chengyou's lips showed a smile that was more dazzling than Chaoyang. Although he couldn't see the pedestrian's appearance clearly, he confidently believed that Teng Yuyi was among them.

When he turned his head, the figure in the front suddenly started to move quickly, and when the wind blew, a distant brilliant color flew up behind that person.

That is the scarf in the arms of the lady.

Lin Chengyou is now more certain that it is Teng Yuyi. This glance was sweeter than honey to him. There was no words, no photographs, and he couldn't even see the expression clearly, but this scene was like a painting, which was deeply imprinted in his heart. After looking at each other for a while, he cast a nostalgic glance at that figure, Pulling the rein constantly, he turned around and rode his horse away.

Teng Yuyi stayed where he was, and watched the figure leave. Lin Chengyou must have seen them, but he was not sure, and what was even more regrettable was that the rose cake he had been thinking about for so long could not reach him, and it was too late , Sending it again is suspected of corrupting military discipline.

The sun gradually rises, and the summer wind blows people's body. With the disappearance of the flag, the Longshou Plain gradually returned to tranquility. Teng Yuyi looked at the direction where the army disappeared, and did not move for a long time. Someone said under the mound: "Junu?"

"Abandon the sage and abandon the wisdom?"

Teng Yuyi looked down in surprise, there was a road leading into the city at the foot of the hill, and a group of Baonu calvary carts came to welcome them.

On a certain cart, there is a young man looking out of the curtain, and it is this young man who spoke just now: "Grandpa, grandma, look, there are wide slaves and handsome slaves on the hillside."

At a glance, Teng Yuyi guessed the identity of this pedestrian, and suddenly heard Kuan Nu cheering: "My lord, my concubine, my second son."

Juesheng and Qizhi also happily ran down the mountain.

After running for a long time, he turned back and said, "Miss Teng, those are the brothers' grandparents."

Teng Yuyi had no choice but to take Duanfu and Junnu down the mountain. A thousand-mile horse stood in front of the calf cart, and immediately sat a man in a stone-blue gown. Bingyu, those clear eyebrows and eyes of the mountain spring, made Teng Yuyi think of Lin Chengyou all of a sudden.

Half of Lin Chengyou's beauty comes from this man.

Kuan Nu had already made an introduction for his master.

After listening to Kuan Nu's report, King Cheng began to look at the child in front of him seriously.

"Are you Lady Teng?"

Teng Yuyi saluted respectfully.

"Good boy, don't be too polite." Cheng Wang's face was calm, but his eyes were very warm. General's daughter."

Teng Yuyi thought to himself, King Cheng's voice is deep and gentle, just like Grandpa, it has the power to make people feel at ease when he speaks. The increase in experience and age has slowly settled down to the bones, and every word and every deed is convincing, as if the big things in this world are not to be feared when they are in front of them.

There was movement immediately in the calf cart, and when the curtain was lifted, a young man in a crimson robe and gold crown came out, about thirteen years old, with a similar appearance to Lin Chengyou, but his eyebrows and eyes had not yet opened, and his body Also a bit thin.

However, that incomparable demeanor was exactly the same as Lin Chengyou's. The young master smiled and made people feel refreshed. He looked at Teng Yuyi friendly, and then looked at Teng Yuyi's feet curiously. The handsome slave saluted Teng Yuyi and turned around to lift the curtain.

Soon, another beautiful young woman got out of the car and became a princess. The princess had no airs, and got out of the car as soon as she said she would get off.

Teng Yuyi is inexplicably a little embarrassed. I have seen her before, but it is a pity that she is too far away. This time, she is so close that the princess's skin is clear and snowy, and her eyes are even more exquisite. Teng Yuyi thought about the rumors about Yu Chengwang and his wife, but he really couldn't imagine the scene where the princess personally taught her son a lesson.

Concubine Cheng is agile, got out of the car and stood still, saw Teng Yuyi, her eyes lit up, she and her husband looked at each other with a smile, and waved to Teng Yuyi: "Your name is Yuyi, right? I'm Lin Chengyou's aunt .Come on, let me take a good look at you."

Teng Yuyi's chest felt warm, and Princess Cheng smiled sincerely. This smile seemed to warm people's hearts. Then look at Cheng Wang Lin Xiao who is sitting upright on the horse. Although he is not smiling like his wife, the warmth in his eyes seems to be able to melt the first snow.

Teng Yuyi was very kind, and smiled two dimples, stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the princess."

***

Two months later.

The battle in Huaixi is intensifying.

Since the Peng family occupied Huaixi, they have spared no effort to encourage their soldiers to form marriages with the local people. After a few days, many soldiers in the army have settled down in Huaixi Road. In the past, they were more filial, and some generals even brought relatives from far away in Long to live together.

Peng Zhen's rebellion, no matter whether the soldiers are willing or not, they have to work with the Peng family, because the lives of their relatives are in the hands of the Peng family, and if they dare to contradict the Peng family, they will all be slaughtered.

As for winning over the hearts of the army, the Peng family has always been extremely well-behaved. Since the age of six, they have frequently rewarded soldiers. There are also many people who follow Peng Zhen wholeheartedly.

Coercion and lure, as soon as the drums sounded, Huaixi Dao was united.

In addition, as early as a few years ago, Peng Zhen kept lobbying the Jiedu envoys who were close to the Fan Dao and secretly interacting with them on the grounds that "once the Huaixi troops are handed over, the Ziqing and Shannan East Roads will be in danger." For the Olympic aid, several days later, Zhongshan Town has been helping each other.

On the front foot, the Shence Army and Zhen Haijun defeated the 50,000 Peng Army entrenched in Taiyincang, and on the back foot Liu Zhengwei from Ziqing and Wang Shibiao from Shannan Dongdao successively raised the flag of rebellion.

Liu Zhengwei stopped troops in Xiangyang, and Wang Shibiao sent troops to help Peng Zhen defend Xuzhou vortex.

Deng Xiang's line, from Dengzhou to Wokou, traverses the middle abdomen and guards the key points. Compared with the Chenying waterway, the geographical location is more critical. Once the rebels succeed, not only will the counter-insurgency campaign be hit hard, but the entire north-south transportation route will also be in a dilemma.

According to Peng Zhen's precise layout, he should have been invincible, but what he encountered was his long-standing rival—Teng Shao, the number one **** of war in this dynasty. God, the young general Lin Chengyou who never sticks to the rules.

In addition, someone leaked the secret ahead of time, and all the moves that Peng Zhen had buried in advance were spotted one by one.

From taking advantage of the opportunity to passive defense, it is often only in one battle. , Vortex.

Peng Zhen's halberd fell into the sand, and he had to lead the remnants to retreat to Caizhou. The people Liu Zhengwei and Wang Shibiao sent to support Huaixi Road were old, weak, sick and disabled. After a few defeats, they saw the flags of the Shence Army and the Zhenhai Army. He handed over the "crime" to the imperial court, saying that he had no remorse, and that the reason why he borrowed troops to Huaixi Road before was only because he was deceived by Peng Zhen's lies.

In mid-July, Deputy General Liu Yunhao of Peng Zhen, who was guarding Songzhou, was killed by the sergeants in the battalion. The sergeants passed his head to the capital, and the whole state surrendered to the court.

As soon as Songzhou fell, all the seven towns in Caizhou's county were exposed to the horseshoes of the Zhenhai Navy and Shence Army.

When the news came, the government and the public were encouraged.

The first thing Teng Yuyi does every day is to inquire about the battle in Huaixi Road. As long as he hears that the battle is not going well, he will feel apprehensive, and if he hears good news, he will be happy all day.

In the past two months, she has not gone to school at Xiangxiang Academy. Teng Shao, thinking about her daughter's safety, asked the academy to take leave of absence for her daughter long before the expedition. Wisdom goes out to get rid of evil spirits.

Some strange evil spirits often appear outside Chang'an City recently. For example, the rare Seven Desires appeared outside Nancheng last time, but this time the ones entrenched in the formation are not boa constrictor spirits. , but a flower demon, almost all the traders who passed by that place fell for it.

On that day, when Princess Cheng heard about this, she and Daoist Qing Xuzi went to collect the monsters. It happened that Teng Yuyi was invited by Azhi to play in Prince Cheng's mansion.

Teng Yuyi excitedly got into the car with the Yajian in her pocket.

But at the moment of killing the demon, Teng Yuyi is far from being comfortable in front of Lin Chengyou. No matter how easy-going Princess Cheng is, she is always an elder. No matter how generous Teng Yuyi is, she still has a natural restraint in front of her elders. .

Juesheng and Qizhi huchihuchi helped to collect the monsters, looked back and felt strange, Mrs. Teng was both wise and brave, and she always showed her fierce face when she slayed evil things, but today was different, Sisi ‌‌ It's like you can't hold a sword.

"Miss Teng, are you sick?"

"Miss Teng, you were always murderous before, why are you so delicate today?"

Teng Yuyi's forehead twitched. In the past, he always saw Lin Chengyou scolding his junior, but today it's a no-brainer. In front of Princess Cheng and Daoist Qing Xuzi, does she have the guts to "grin her teeth" to kill the demon?

Concubine Cheng didn't say a word, she approached and held Teng Yuyi's sword hilt, and gave her a strong push forward.

With a pop, the move was crisp and neat, and the spider spirit that had eaten a lot of people in front of it immediately turned into a puddle of pus.

Teng Yuyi suddenly felt that her "tweaked attitude" was a bit redundant.

"Jue Sheng Qi Zhi told me that you not only chopped off a claw of the tree demon with your own hands, but also helped You'er saw off the fangs of the corpse evil?" Princess Cheng looked at the child in front of her with a smile.

Teng Yuyi said yes.

"Very good." Princess Cheng patted Teng Yuyi's shoulder in relief, her tone and gestures were full of encouragement, and she almost said "I appreciate you very much". After everything, Concubine Cheng quickly returned to Daoist Priest Qingxuzi.

Juesheng and Qizhi covered their mouths for fun, and Teng Yuyi smiled and glared at them. She was too embarrassed to pretend to be stupid after this incident, and she cleared a lot of evil spirits in one breath. thing.

Once this wave of monsters was eliminated, there was a lot of silence on the surface of Chang'an City. After that, Azhi often invited Teng Yuyi to play in Chengwang Mansion, and Teng Yuyi often invited Azhi to come to Teng Mansion for dinner.

In her spare time, Teng Yuyi will rack her brains to make some exquisite snacks. In addition to routinely tasting them for her aunt and sister, she also does not forget to make a few for Qingyun Temple and Chengwang Mansion, and then put them into brocade boxes and carefully frame them After a while, they either asked Azhi to bring them back to the mansion, or sent them to Chengwang Mansion and Qingyun Temple in person as a return gift. After a few visits, even Taoist Master Qingxuzi was full of praise for Teng Yuyi's craftsmanship.

On this day, Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were invited to the Cheng Palace to participate in a poetry meeting.

Since the corpse evil broke into Chengwang's mansion last time, Princess Azhi's poetry meeting was interrupted. After a few months of rest, Azhi became interested in the idea of ​​poetry again, catching up with her parents and second brother. At home, this poetry meeting was unprecedentedly lively. In addition to the members of the poetry meeting, all the students from Xiangxiang Academy were also invited, and even several princes from the Imperial College of the Imperial College were also invited.

In the middle of the poetry meeting, Nanzhao Crown Prince Gu Xian suddenly left the table and went to bed, Teng Yuyi rested the wine cup on his lips, and winked at Duan Fu outside the pavilion, Duan Fu understood and remained silent He stepped back without saying a word.

***

In the middle of the night, in an exquisite mansion.

A lotus root silk lamp is lit in the corner of the room, and the charming light illuminates the layout of the room faintly. The windows are closed tightly, and the golden incense burner is fragrant. No one in the room speaks, but there are ambiguous and hurried sounds on the bed , After a long time, the rain stopped behind the screen and the wind stopped.

Not long after it was quiet, a man gasped and said a few words, in exchange for a woman's exclamation of embarrassment.

Someone stumbled out from behind the screen, and it was Gu Xian.

His eyes were scattered, his face seemed a little drunk, his python robe was wide open, and the undergarment inside was also half open.

He ran to the table and put on his boots, thinking regretfully about something. After putting on his boots, he didn't leave his bed, but stood there in a daze. Then he whispered something to the woman on the bed.

The bed frame made a slight sound, and the woman turned around lazily.

After a while, the woman spoke intermittently.

"Let's go." The woman's voice was softer than a girl's, and she was still panting when she spoke, "I was very happy that you came to visit me, if it wasn't for entertaining you, I wouldn't have drank too much Cup, how do you know you - tonight I just think you lost your mind after drinking, don't come to me again in the future."

At the end, he began to sob softly.

Gu Xian seemed a little at a loss, and said a few words in a soft voice, and suddenly heard the servant girl outside the door say timidly: "His Royal Highness, Achisai has something urgent to look for."

There was silence in the room, and Gu Xian said to the woman on the bed apologetically, "Don't be afraid, I have everything to do with you. I'll come and see you early."

After finishing speaking, he walked out from behind the screen, walked to the door, looked back with nostalgia, turned around and left in a hurry.

After Gu Xian left, the woman did not get out of bed immediately, but softly called the maids to bring water. Put it aside, let them all retreat.

After the woman tidied herself up, she came out from behind the screen, and the lights flooded her body, illuminating her lazy figure, but she saw that her hair was in a mess, her eyes were crisp and red, and her white and plump curves were looming. Provoking infinite reverie.

There were tears in the corners of her eyes, but the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up, as if she had finished her mind, or like a hunter finally caught a prey that satisfied her.

After drinking half a cup of tea, the woman bent down and blew out the lotus root silk lamp on the table, and when she was about to go back to bed to rest, the lamp behind her suddenly turned on again.

The woman suddenly saw the light projected on the curtain, and she couldn't help being startled. Looking back, she saw a young girl in the room.

The young girl was sitting at the table, looking at her with a half-smile.

The woman was about to yell in shock, when a tall black figure approached like a ghost, sealing her acupoints all at once, and then, a cold dagger was stuck on her throat.

"You are safe, Wu Yingying." The girl greeted her with Yan Yuese.

Wu Yingying stared at the girl in surprise.

The girl kindly reminded her: "Don't shout, if you shout, this dagger will kill you immediately."

Wu Yingying was very knowledgeable and nodded while panting.

Teng Yuyi signaled to Duanfu to relieve Wu Yingying's acupoints.

Wu Yingying gasped and said, "Are you the daughter of General Teng?"

Teng Yuyi smiled and said: "I have a good memory. I wanted to visit my old friend, but I didn't expect to encounter such a beautiful scene."

Wu Yingying's face turned red and green, she looked around the room and said, "No, you've already been hiding in the room."

In other words, Mrs. Teng saw all the things between her and Gu Xian tonight.

She was annoyed: "What the **** do you want to do?"

Teng Yuyi shrugged her shoulders: "I'm here to see what this old friend of our family is up to these days. It's not in vain that I have been followed secretly for almost two months, and I saw something amazing when I came here. ‌‌I remember correctly, King Xinchang is Gu Xian's uncle, that is to say, you are Gu Xian's aunt?"

Wu Yingying was so ashamed and annoyed at first, she didn't know what to think, and suddenly smiled: "What does this have to do with you?"

Teng Yuyi looked at the objects in the house by herself, the cormorant cup, the dancing luan mirror, the Ruiguang curtain...these are all rare and valuable things, no matter how much property the King Xinchang leaves behind, I am afraid it will not be worth it ‌Wu Yingying is so extravagant.

I heard that Nanzhao Kingdom has a limited amount of money allocated to royal family members. Wu Yingying has no children and only one husband. Her treatment in Nanzhao Kingdom will only go from bad to worse in the future.

If Wu Yingying is used to the extravagant life she used to be, she has to plan well for her future.

Teng Yuyi shifted her gaze back to Wu Yingying's face, and had to admit that Wu Yingying's appearance is better than most women in the world, perhaps because of her lack of childbirth, her skin is still girlish, and her figure is flimsy It is also more plump and attractive than ordinary women.

I remember that time when Wu Yingying was shopping for spices at the Fendie Building in Xishi, Gu Xian came to pick her up specially. At that time, she was a little strange. ‌Before ‌this hospitality.

She should have guessed that Gu Xian was in love with Wu Yingying.

Wu Yingying is now in her twenties, not much older than Gu Xian.

"In the past two months, Gu Xian has come to you seven times in total, and each time he came alone, without even bringing his followers with him. Tonight, he stayed for more than an hour before leaving." Teng Yuyi smiled. "Before I guessed that you acquiesced in all this, but tonight I saw with my own eyes that you were half-pushing in front of him. Gu Xian is the only son of the king of Nanzhao, and he will inherit his father's throne in the future. He is today You are just twenty, but you have been in love with you for a long time. You have this relationship with him. When he becomes king in the future, he will also take care of you in secret. The prosperity and wealth you want will always be maintained by someone for you .”

Wu Yingying stared at Teng Yuyi. By now, she had already seen that the other party had come prepared. Blindly denying it would only force the other party to throw out more evidence. If she wanted to know the other party's purpose, she had to admit it frankly, so Simply smiled: "Since you came early tonight, you should know that Gu Xian has been courting me from the beginning to the end. Men, no matter how old or young, are all like this. This world is too unfair to women, and men can't do it." Three wives and concubines, women are not allowed to remarry when they become husbands, I am still so light, why should I live like a log? Men and women love each other, I wish you love, but I don’t want to be rich, I am I would also like to have a gentleman who warms my bed, he will come to my door, I never took the initiative."

These words made people blush, and Teng Yuyi couldn't help clearing her throat. Although she hated Wu Yingying, what she said was quite reasonable.

Wu Yingying glanced out of the window calmly.

"As for me, I'm not interested in your matters at all." Teng Yuyi said with a sarcasm, "But I have to remind you, now this house is full of my people, I have already told you in a letter before coming here In regards to Grandpa, if you dare to play tricks, someone will spread your story to Nanzhao Kingdom soon. During this period of time, it is not only our Teng family who are following you, there are as many witnesses as you need. Of course, As long as you cooperate with me obediently, this matter will stop with me."

Wu Yingying's expression is unpredictable, she is obviously weighing the pros and cons, after thinking about it, she was pinched by the other party, she glanced at Teng Yuyi, and sighed with a smile: "Whoa! I'm afraid of you. Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Teng Yuyi's face sank: "That day my grandfather came to see you?"

Wu Yingying bit her lips lightly, as if she was hesitating to speak.

"For the battle of Nanyang?"

Wu Yingying's complexion suddenly became ugly: "Do you know about the Battle of Nanyang?"

Suddenly her skin became cold, and Wu Yingying realized that there was still a dagger on her neck. If she moved forward half an inch, the sharp blade would cut her neck.

"Yu'er, after all, I am also your elder." Wu Yingying forced a smile, "I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the present, so we will meet each other in battle. Take the dagger away."

"Which kind of elder are you?" Teng Yuyi sneered, "I killed you tonight, and no one can find out about us. If you don't want to, you'd better say it out loud , Said, my grandpa came to you to ask you for proof?"

Wu Yingying was silent for a long time, and sighed quietly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that this matter is too cruel. You are a descendant of General Teng, and it may not be pleasant to hear--"

The dagger approached another point, and Wu Yingying's face paled: "I said, I said. Your grandpa asked me if I told you the truth about the Nanyang battle."

***

When Teng Yuyi came out of the house, she was in a mess as if she had just climbed up from purgatory.

Wu Yingying's words pierced her heart word by word.

"Your mother has been ill for several days before I came to your house. I heard that she can't sleep well at night, and she always has horrible dreams."

"How can there be no idea? General Teng has invited monks and Taoists in Yangzhou, but no matter what those people think, they say that there is no evil spirit around your mother. I heard that your mother did it when she was pregnant with you. This kind of nightmare will be fine after just touching you. Your mother saw that you are in good health, so she didn't take it to heart. Who would have thought that on the first Obon Festival, your mother would call you Baolian The temple lit two lanterns to ward off misfortunes and blessings for you father and daughter, and I don’t know what caused it, and the nightmare came again. After doing a few rituals, your mother no longer has nightmares, but her spirit is still not good. "

"How could I know these things? No, no, no, I never bothered to eavesdrop. I was visiting your aunt one day, and I overheard the story from the nurse in charge beside her."

"What dream? A large group of ordinary people, men, women, young and old, all in scanty clothes, surrounded your mother's bed and demanded her life. After a while, this group of people disappeared, your mother! ‌There are only a pile of bones left—if it wasn’t for your mother’s sleep talk at night, the servants would not know how terrible her dreams are.”

"I was actually quite frightened when I heard this, because the scene in Mrs. Teng's dream was inexplicably similar to a past incident I heard from my father. Yes, it was your grandfather and Nanyang soldiers who were trapped in the city. A tragic event at that time."

"Of course I didn't tell you Niang."

"How can this be called sophistry? Of course I don't want to admit what I haven't done, but after hearing what happened in your mother's dream, I began to suspect that your grandfather knew this secret. Your mother's place is a nightmare , It was because I was so frightened by this incident that I fell into a heart attack. Only the Wu family knew about this matter. I went to find your grandfather alone, just to test your grandfather. I heard it from where, but your father was The expression on his face was extremely shocked, and he said that it was the first time he had heard of this.”

"Your mother must have glimpsed the truth in a dream, so she was tortured. Yes, your mother's miscarriage has nothing to do with me. ‌I also slipped a tire once, and that is already the second time.”

"You were only young at that time, so of course you didn't know about these things. Your grandpa was busy making contributions, so he probably didn't think too much about it if it was an accident. He was afraid that your mother would be worried, so he would only invite the best medical experts. Taking care of her, but you still remember that your mother likes to use a kind of fragrance called 'Yuyanhualuo' for her own use. I have long found that the fragrance is not quite right, and the smell is much stronger than when I first smelled it. Later, I I tried to make it according to the formula, only to find that there are a few herbs that can prevent miscarriage mixed in it. In the first few days, I re-mixed it in Fendielou, which once again confirmed my doubts.”

"Yes, wormwood was added. Your mother seems to be determined to fight against something, and desperately wants to keep the fetus. Burning moxa alone is easy to be smelled by people (Note 2), so it has to be mixed with spices. I still can't keep it, I always visit your mother, your heartbroken appearance, anyone who sees it will feel sad."

"It was your mother who took the initiative to ask."

"She asked me to find your grandfather for the study room. I was afraid that your mother would misunderstand and had to tell what happened that day. Your mother was not very surprised after hearing what I said, she just sighed. : It turned out to be true. She thanked me for telling the truth, and sent someone to send me back to the new house to get married. When I left, I accidentally left a handkerchief. When I went back to pick up the handkerchief, I happened to see her hugging you. Weeping in a low voice: It's useless."

"Why should I play the piano for your grandpa in the study? Oh, I have always been conceited of my beauty, but General Teng has never looked at me directly. I am about to get married. I have to find a way to impress your grandpa. Stay with me. It's a pity that your grandfather kicked me out of the study before I finished playing the song.

"It's really embarrassing to think about it. All the men who have dealt with me have looked at me differently, and your grandfather is an exception."

"No, no, no, I never thought about having anything to do with your grandpa. Since I was in exile with my parents, I swore a long time ago that I would not marry a prince or general. Your grandpa already has your mother. I don't want to be a concubine. But, even if I don't want to have anything to do with your grandpa, I want him to remember me."

"You don't have to stare at me like that. A man can make a woman sad, why can't a woman be merciful? I just like to see men fascinated by me. Don't even think about it, ‌ ‌ you Is it worth your aunt's concern that my master will change his mind so easily?"

"It's really a pity to say that such an upright hero didn't leave a good impression on me. I guess when he thinks of me now, he only thinks about the nightmare in Nanyang."

"Your mother is the most beautiful and intelligent woman I have ever seen. She loves you and your grandfather very much. I can confirm this. I was also very sad when I heard that she died of illness. "

"That's right, I haven't been back to the Central Plains these days, but I've been wondering if your mother's death was caused by those innocent souls. ‌‌I suddenly dreamed Auntie, I woke up feeling a little sad. It happened that my old servant Wu Xie was going back to the Central Plains to buy things for me, so I wrote a letter for Wu Xie to bring to General Teng himself. Unfortunately, your grandfather may I still think it was made up by me, and I didn’t reply at all. But it’s not surprising that he doesn’t believe it, after all, I only heard it from my father once.”

Teng Yuyi didn't know that she walked into the alley.

At this point, she finally found out why Grandpa Bai kept silent. What Wu Yingying said not only shocked her, but also terrified her from the bottom of her heart.

She was shivering from the cold, and every step she took was extremely strenuous.

"Lady." Cheng Bo and others quietly came out from the dark place, and waited for Teng Yuyi's instructions. It's not a big deal tonight's matter. He was afraid that something might go wrong, so he came over in person .

Teng Yuyi waved her hand in despair: "Withdraw."

Worried, Cheng Bo turned around and let all the hidden guards around him retreat.

"Wait a minute." Teng Yuyi said again suddenly.

Cheng Bo is waiting for orders.

"Grandfather was not in the city a while ago, and he stayed in Xiying and Jinsouyuan. In fact, did he ever visit the Bodhi Temple?"

"Bodhi Temple?"

"The house near the Weishui River. When I returned to Chang'an a few months ago, I fell into the water near there. After I was rescued, I had an extra sword in my hand. Grandpa said, I passed by that house when I was young. Bodhi Temple, my mother once took me ashore to burn incense."

Cheng Bo was stunned for a moment: "Master is indeed wronged. Back then, my wife was trapped in Dayin Temple. When I was visiting my wife in the temple, I told Abbot Yuanjue about my wife's repeated encounters with evil spirits." I don’t know what Abbot Yuanjue said, but after leaving the temple, the master left Chang’an overnight. According to Lu Yan, the master found the abbot of the Bodhi Temple and asked the old abbot a lot of questions.”

Teng Yuyi's heart was in turmoil, and Grandpa suddenly became suspicious because of what happened to her. After being reminded by Abbot Yuanjue, he began to actively investigate what happened at that time.

Bodhi Temple, Bodhi Temple...

Supreme bodhi, wisdom to give to all .

She raised the Yaya sword in her hand in a daze. In the past few months, she often thought about a question. Why did such an ancient sword suddenly appear beside her? It turned out that it didn't come out of thin air a chance.

Ya said that someone saved her life, but her parents were already gone when she was killed in the previous life. After learning that Lin Chengyou came to rescue her that night, she always thought about changing her life for her. Could it be Lin Chengyou who died? Maybe the spell was too scary, even if Lin Chengyou changed her fate, she and her father were still trapped in this weird puzzle after waking up.

The same bad luck is inevitable.

Different from her previous life, this time she has an extra divine sword in her hand, and Jie Ya helped her overcome the evils, help her cast down demons, and let her meet Lin Chengyou in advance——

This encounter may be the only chance that their father and daughter can grasp at present.

Did A Niang pray for her before the Buddha? Teng Yuyi's tears fell silently. The moment Grandpa found out the truth, his heart must have been broken.

Suddenly I heard someone calling her: "Miss Teng."

It turned out to be a sage and an abandonment of wisdom.

They had heard Teng Yuyi's voice a long time ago, but they hadn't seen her getting into the car for a long time. When they opened the curtain of the car, they saw Teng Yuyi standing in the alley with one hand propped on the wall, and her whole body was in the shadows , as if frozen.

Teng Yuyi walked slowly towards the front of the car. Usually, she could easily step onto the white car shaft, but today it was as high as a cliff. In the end, Duan Fu held her arm and pushed her up with his strength. car.

Jue Sheng and Abandoned Wisdom became more and more anxious, and Mrs. Teng's face was so ugly that she looked like she was seriously ill: "Ms. Teng, is something wrong?"

Teng Yuyi fell to the seat, the truth was even crueler than she thought, she was cold and uncomfortable, but she knew that she had to sort out all these things as soon as possible.

"Miss Teng, let's go home quickly. There have been a lot of evil spirits coming into the city recently. Look outside, it's very cloudy, and the sky is not right."

Teng Yuyi recovered, and said resolutely: "Let's go back to Qingyun Temple to find the Taoist priest. Earlier, the Taoist priest told me about a spell called 'Wrong Hook Curse', and asked me if any ancestors of the Teng family offended me. Who was it, I said I didn’t know that time, but tonight I... I think I know the answer.”

***

Outside Caizhou City.

Amidst the shouts that shook the sky, arrows of locusts and huge boulders and trees were thrown down from under the city wall.

This is the end of the campaign to counter the rebellion.

This is also the last stop of Peng Zhen's tenacious resistance.

Only by defending Caizhou, Peng Zhenfang has a chance to break out of the encirclement before Zhen Haijun sends reinforcements, and he can lead 20,000 remnants to Huihe. If he loses it, he will be really defeated.

The weather is hot and the morale of the army is fluctuating. On the one hand, there are imperial soldiers and horses who have won battles one after another, and on the other is the Peng family army who fought hard. In terms of morale alone, Peng Zhen won by a margin. For several days in a row, the two sides were in a stalemate .

In the middle of the night, a hailstone suddenly fell from the sky. The situation was extremely strange, and it was extremely hot right now, so the hailstone could only be the spell of a stranger around Peng Zhen.

Compared to the anxiety of the sergeants, Lin Chengyou seemed calm and relaxed. He stood in front of the tent with a golden bow on his back, looking in the direction of Caizhou City.

Teng Shao's Zhen Haijun is coming from the direction of Xuzhou. The two armies will join forces, and tonight is the time to break the city.

At this time, a lieutenant general ran up and said, "Report! The city of Caizhou is on fire. It looks like an armory in the direction. The soldiers on the city wall are busy fighting the fire, and the hail has stopped falling."

A smirk appeared on Lin Chengyou's mouth: "Go up the ladder, give him another fire."

However, there was an uproar in the camp behind him, and someone said anxiously: "Your Majesty, General Liu from the Navy is here."

I saw a general in the middle of the country riding a horse to the front, sweating profusely: "My son, it's not good, General Teng was plotted by thieves halfway."
