Si Tian Guan

Chapter 143 Looking at the City

A sound of gongs shot out from the city, and the herd of beasts gathered in the banners rushed left and right, and fled privately.

Amidst the sound of Shan Huan live, Emperor Yu shot a few more arrows, and then sat down in Wangcheng. Yu Dexi waved the command flag, and the crowd who were already eager to try gave out loud cheers.

The horseshoes roared, and clusters of teams chased their prey straight into the tall grass and tall forest.

Mu Jingzhao was not keen on these things at first, not to mention that he had been hunting for a few days, and no matter how fresh he was, the emperor had no choice but to cheer up and kick the horse's belly.

He was about to move forward with the crowd when he saw Liu Chongming lazily pulling the rein from the corner of his eye, even less interested than him.

"Chongming!" He called out, "What are you dawdling about? Let's go!"

Liu Chongming flicked the reins, walked side by side with him, and yawned: "I didn't sleep well, my whole body hurts."

Mu Jingzhao sneered: "Why didn't you sleep well? In the past, you could say that the troubles of Dali Temple made you look good, but now that the officials have resigned, you have more leisure time than me."

Liu Chongming ignored him and yawned again.

Being sleepy is really sleepy, and he really didn't sleep well. He never thought that after losing his fingertips, those scenes that were sealed away somewhere would follow one after another, like evil spirits released from hell.

In fact, it is not so appropriate to say that it is evil, except that it is more immersive than before, there is nothing thrilling in the dream.

Like a dream, he is in another world, walking a completely different path from this life, plain but warm.

Under the corridor of Jinxi Academy, it was true to eat with that man.

The scars on Shen Zhou's face are still there, and he is younger than now. He doesn't have such a mean and sharp knife mouth, nor does he have such a narrow and sly smile. Instead, he looks like a shy little rabbit, twirling the lotus root box with his slender fingers, sipping bite.

And he watched intently, full of love and struggle.

Liu Chongming desperately refused to admit that this person, whose personality was completely different from the little fox, was the same person as the little fox.

But the shy young boy shook hands with him, wrote "Tao Zhiyaoyao" in one stroke, and happily unfolded it for him to see, except for the character "Zhi", which was [-]% similar to his handwriting.

I can't lie to myself.

Although he clearly knew that he and that Liu Chongming were two people, but the little fox and Qu Chenzhou... were the same.

No wonder the little fox said - he is me, I am him, I have all the memories of Qu Shenzhou.

It's no wonder that the little fox suddenly collapsed when Changshui Town was flooded.

He has been misled by preconceived ideas, guessing everyone, but not Qu Shenzhou himself who has a pair of god-given eyes.

If there is any chance for him to meet Qu Chenzhou who is a slave, there is only such a possibility.

Both the person in the dream and the guest in the dream, Liu Chongming could only watch helplessly.

Seeing myself climbing on a tall sycamore tree, holding a box of sycamore flowers.

Looking away from everyone's eyes, they held hands secretly, and kissed strangely and passionately, which was something they couldn't get enough of each other.

Watching him peel off the little fox's clothes with trembling hands, leaving traces full of love in the little fox's shy silent sobs.

He lingered in that charming and fiery dream for a long time, until he was awakened profusely with sweat, and he became more and more aware of his fear.

The only thing he was afraid of was the little fox's deception.

If Qu Chenzhou in the dream is really the little fox, they used to be so eager to entangle, wishing to melt into each other's flesh and blood, why didn't the little fox explain it to him frankly.

At first, their identities were different, but until now, he even swore to his father, uncle, and sister that he would not marry the little fox, so why did the little fox keep his mouth shut and refused to give him a clear affirmation? .

And in the dream where Bai Shilei appeared, the "he" who was scolded by others, the one whom he loved and hated to the bone, could it also be...

Liu Chongming vaguely guessed that the big change in the little fox's personality is very likely to be closely related to the big change in the Bailiu family.

And what he didn't dare to face were the ones hidden behind by the little fox.

In the past two days, he didn't even dare to touch the pillow, for fear that if he closed his eyes, he would see something he didn't want to see.

Just kidding yourself.

Mu Jingzhao let go of the rein and staggered a few steps. Seeing that he was not in a hurry when he turned around, he couldn't help turning around and urging: "What are you dawdling about? You're not afraid that I'm scary."

Liu Chong clearly knew that what he was afraid of was the emperor's dissatisfied gaze, so he pursed his lips and smiled, but he was not in a hurry.

There are only two people in the paddock who are worried, and Bai Shiyan is no longer in front of him now, and he dare not stay away from the city.

My sister is watching the city over there.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but let Qu Chenzhou go to Liu's house and Bai's house to look around, and asked nervously, "What will happen to my sister?"

Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips and shook his head silently.

He was so accustomed to trusting the little fox, he shook his head and naturally didn't know it, but now he woke up suddenly from a dream and realized that he had become the second Du Quan.

Qu Shenzhou shook his head not necessarily because he didn't know, or because he refused to say.

After realizing this point, he was flustered all the time, and he also wanted to understand one thing - after gaining his wholehearted trust, Qu Chenzhou's desire to manipulate him was almost effortless.

"What's the rush?" He took the rein and circled around the spot again, and responded slowly, "The guards have prepared the prey, and there is no need to move left and right, so why bother to sweat."

"Whether you can hunt or not is the second, the key is..."

Mu Jingzhao hadn't finished complaining yet, only to hear a sudden commotion coming from the direction of the city behind him, with screams louder than louder.

"problem occurs!"

Liu Chongming's mind exploded, he immediately left King Ning behind, turned his horse's head, whipped repeatedly, and galloped towards Wangcheng.

It seems that except for the emperor, most of the people sitting in the city are female relatives, except for the concubines, they are wives, wives or children.

When the surrounding Jinwu Guards stepped forward, they saw that the city was already in chaos, only a few things could be seen rampaging among the crowd.

"Protect Your Majesty!" King Qi was originally guarding the audience, but now he stepped onto the stage and yelled loudly.

Bo Yan held the knife in one hand, no one else cared about him, he just protected Emperor Yu and walked down the city. When the thing flashed by, he pierced through it with a knife and nailed it to the ground.

"Don't panic! It's just a mountain raccoon!"

The one nailed to the ground was indeed a mountain raccoon as long as half a man. Its brown back was soaked in blood, but it was still alive, and it let out a series of shrill screams.

Even after knowing the true face of this thing, the commotion in the crowd did not calm down immediately, and the shrill scream made people feel chills in their hearts.

Zhu Meiren, who was originally by the emperor's side, could not see anyone, but could only hear the noisy crying.

"Help me! I still have children! Your Majesty, save me!"

Liu Chongming got off his horse before the chaos, but found that facing the chaotic crowd, he had no way to get close to see the city. He could only see Liu Qingru in the distance not far from the seat while being pushed against the current. place, the top of the head disappeared in the crowd.

"Don't run away in a hurry!" He roared sharply: "Come here! Kill the mountain fox!"

He naturally brought many shadow guards with him, but there were so many people on the stage that even the Jin Wuwei couldn't use it, and the people in the audience couldn't get up.

The emperor had already been escorted out, and the Jinwu guards were evacuating the crowd down the steps.

Unable to go upstream, he put the sword behind his back, and climbed up to the tree trunk by the city with a few steps. In the chaos, two palace maids were protecting Liu Qingru, stumbling among the crowd.

Those frightened raccoon cats screamed sharply, and suddenly bumped into the three of them head-on and faceless.

Liu Qingru's feet were caught by the palace skirt, and she fell forward. Before she could scream, she was supported by someone with one hand. The sword edge slashed, and blood sprayed several people all over.

"Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Liu Chongming supported her to stop, comforted her softly, his eyes swept across the field quickly.

Although the mountain raccoon moved quickly, fortunately the Jin Wuwei did not eat dry food. After the initial chaos, they had already killed several mountain raccoons running around in the crowd, and the rest fled away in a panic.

All this came and went suddenly.

Liu Chongming looked around in shock, but suddenly met a gaze in the gap between the crowd.

That gaze was as calm as ever, not looking at him, but looking away in the blink of an eye, but it made him shudder like fire.

It's... King Huai.

The imperial physician had been in the room for a long time, but Liu Chongming was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, staring at the shadow elongated by the setting sun under his feet, still in a daze.

This is not right.

Some ferocious beasts are not forbidden in the hunting grounds. Surrounded by the guards of the Jinwu Guards, these things are not dangerous, but they will be the climax of hunting.

But mountain raccoons don't live in groups, and they rarely attack people actively, let alone from the trees on the edge of the city, unless there are people besides them who deliberately move a lot of hands and feet.

But in the current situation, everyone has hid in the palace, and anxiety is running around in private.

Naturally, the emperor was properly protected, and the imperial physician took care of him all the time, but the child who had just fallen into Zhu Meiren's stomach was gone.

He saw Hong when he was looking at the city, and he couldn't wait for the imperial doctor to treat him.

Who is the target of this move is obvious, but he has no time to think about it so much - something unexpected happened to his sister.

When the imperial physician diagnosed the pulse, he immediately congratulated him.

The imperial concubine is happy, but she was frightened, the month is still young, her pulse condition is a little unstable, she needs more recuperation and rest.

The emperor also soon learned of the news and sent someone to take care of her.

This was the good news he had been waiting for for a long time. He should have been happy, but when he recalled the chaos just now, he couldn't stop his body from getting chills.

What if he hadn't arrived in time?What if my sister fell and was trampled on by the crowd, what if the mountain raccoon bumped into my sister's stomach?What will happen?

Bo Yan also came here just now, and he inquired about the news outside, the news was not optimistic.

The man sent by King Qi to hunt down Shanlizi came back, saying that the person who was secretly manipulating was caught, and he was an old citizen of Liequ.

These evil people who destroy the country are like insects and ants hiding in the damp place. After so many years, they still want to revive Liequ.

The emperor was naturally furious, and ordered the Southern and Northern Yamen to search and arrest these untouchables.

As a result, Bai Shiyan failed to meet him, and disappeared without a trace. He sent people over several times, saying that he would meet Bai Shiyan when he came back, but he still failed to do so.

He couldn't see the two people closest to him in this hunting ground, so he was always hanging in his heart, and couldn't help but think of King Huai's eyes.

That gaze was calm and indifferent, as if everything was clear in his heart, which was incompatible with the panic and restlessness at that time.

It was quite like Qu Shenzhou.

Liu Chongming's heart beat faster and faster.

The current situation is not good for them, he wants to guard his sister, he can't get away, Bai Shiyan has disappeared, and in this high mountain and dense forest, if the North and South Yamen meet, it is doomed that they will not be able to live in peace.

Is this the arrangement of King Qi?

He quickly denied this view. It was not so much the arrangement of King Qi, but Jiang Xingzhi's arrangement, and Jiang Xingzhi...

The few times Jiang Xingzhi came to the other courtyard to chat with Qu Chenzhou in private, he couldn't learn anything from Qu Chenzhou.

The only possibility is King Huai.

King Huai has no military power in his hands, and it is impossible to lower his figure to take over the Jinxiu Camp. In this way, no matter what happens to the North and South Yamen, it will be a fisherman's advantage for King Huai.

Liu Chongming shuddered, and the terrible conjecture that he didn't want to admit gradually enlarged in his mind to an uncontrollable level.

in case……

If the person Qu Chenzhou really served was not him...

If the "Jing Yan" in the extreme joy is the truth...

Qu Chenzhou's indifferent eyes seemed to be still looking at him, and there was a murderous intent in them that was not there before.

"Going to bed... There are people who like it, and there are people who don't like it."

Liu Chongming stuck his fingers in his hair, suppressing himself to the point of being on the verge of collapse.

This is unreasonable - the only point of reason is to remind him, not to mention that he has never done anything wrong to Qu Shenzhou, in this life, Qu Chenzhou has not even had any contact with King Huai.

why?

There is no reason for love and hate, he can't figure it out, even if he goes to the underworld, he is still a fool.

No matter how he thought about it, he also realized one thing - he trusted Qu Shenzhou too much, more than he could bear, and the consequences of this trust were something he dared not face.

This bit of rationality supported him, he didn't go crazy, and he couldn't go crazy, he could only suppress his anxiety, while waiting for the imperial doctor to come out, and at the same time waiting for the dispatched person to bring news of Bai Shiyan.

He didn't know how his sister was doing. He felt that he had been waiting for too long, but he still didn't hear the sound of the door opening, so he could only look up.

But looking at it, from the corner of the eye, he was on the street, and the signboard of the shop next to him read - Nianhua Xiaopu.

And what he could see was not the door, but the billowing smoke in the distance.

The author has something to say: I sat up in a dream this morning, and suddenly I had a rough idea of ​​the end of the future!I am very likely to write this with passion in my next book!If it is for the pre-acquisition of the theme of the demon king, it doesn’t matter if you take it back. If it is for the story, let’s see it in the next book. Life-saving] Anyway, no matter what the background is, old wine in a new bottle, or the taste of a young snake, just read the story, just to have fun, and the copywriting tastes like chewing wax, everyone is willing to accept it, it is really giving me face.

[emmm, I said before that the next book has no brains, and the copywriting is casually posted, because there are too few brains, so let’s take a hole first, if this is copywriting fraud?Then I will open a new pre-acquisition pit】Speaking far away, I will write this book first. I have a low-level brain and can only think about one story at a time. Let’s leave the pre-acquisition as it is. Let me tell you in advance, thank you.
