Across the waterfront, in a villa in the countryside outside the city, the moonlight filtered through the windows and seeped into a hazy halo.
The room was filled with water vapor, and a pool of spring water was dug out. The sound of breaking water broke the silence, and where the water splashed, a tall figure of a man appeared.
Shen Yanchu stepped out of the water, his black hair hanging down. As he walked towards the pebbles by the pool, his whole body's energy circulated, and the rolling water droplets turned into mist.
He was wearing a plain-colored gown and had a sneer on his lips.
"I actually underestimated this rat."
The two brothers Ling Yun and Ling Feng who were waiting outside felt that the cold was getting worse.
They never thought that Liu Ruyan actually knew that the Lord was afraid of water, and even the pool he usually used was only five feet deep.
"Ling Yun, Ling Feng." Shen Yanchu called.
The two of them silently broke into cold sweats and bravely walked in.
Ling Yun: "This subordinate pays homage to the Lord."
Ling Feng: "This subordinate pays homage to the Lord."
The two of them saluted, but still did not dare to raise their heads.
Shen Yanchu said indifferently: "Have you received any news over there in Dali?"
Ling Yun and Ling Feng looked at each other and shook their heads.
Shen Yanchu said calmly: "I learned something from the financial owner."
The so-called buyer is the financial backer who asked Cang Ming Party to take action against the Liu family to seize the pill recipe.
I don’t know what conditions the other party put forward, but Shen Yanchu happily agreed and even took action himself.
"Ten years ago, the deposed prince of Dali was sent to Bianjing as a hostage." Shen Yanchu said calmly, "Now, the old monarch is seriously ill, and the hostage was recalled to the country. On the way, bandits committed a crime, and the whole group was killed. Killed by the bandits, no one was spared."
After hearing this, Ling Feng was shocked: "But the proton is clearly..."
Ling Yun threw the eye knife, interrupting his unspoken words.
This kid is short-sighted, and he doesn't know that the Lord is most taboo about others mentioning this matter.
"It's been ten years, and those people finally couldn't hold back anymore." Shen Yanchu murmured softly.
Ling Yun was silent, it was rare to see the Lord showing a sad expression.
In the past ten years, they have secretly investigated Shen's mother's affairs, but have been unable to find any clues. It can be seen that the people behind the scenes are very thoughtful, and it is only now that things have finally turned around.
"My subordinates are guessing whether it was the Prime Minister who did it?"
Prime Minister Gao was the person in charge of the Dali government. Following the death of Shen's mother, the Prime Minister also urged the monarch to abolish the position of queen and not be allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Shen Yanchu said: "All the clues were stopped at the murderer's guard. If there is really a plot, why did he only attack one woman?"
"It's because my subordinates are incompetent and can't avenge the Queen's injustice!" Ling Yun stood with his head bowed, and he, who had always been calm, felt a little bit more embarrassed.
Shen's mother was kind to the two brothers, but she died unjustly, and her husband fled to a foreign land.
Shen Yanchu glanced at Ling Yun and Ling Feng, his eyes changed slightly, but his face remained indifferent.
He said: "Dali is under martial law, and even the old monarch has concealed the matter of the hostage's death. Full power over the affairs of the court has been left to the prime minister. At the moment, the murderer thinks that the future troubles have been eliminated, and he will take action soon. You should keep an eye on the palace." As for the matters entrusted by the donor, I will do it myself."
Ling Yun hesitated: "It's just...that boy from the Liu family is very cunning, and my subordinates are afraid that it will be difficult for the Lord to deal with him."
Shen Yanchu sneered: "Maybe I want to be a puppet again."
Ling Yun's hair suddenly stood up.
Come to think of it, the Lord has taken a liking to that boy!
After the two of them retreated, Shen Yanchu sat cross-legged and practiced the Burning Heart Technique.
The night wind rolled in through the curtains, blowing up the floating gauze all over the hall.
His eyes were slightly closed, and his plain robe was flowing in the wind, like a fairy in a painting stepping out of an ancient Sanskrit scroll.
After a while, he opened his eyes.
Burning Heart Jue takes ruthlessness as the main road.
Cut off the seven emotions and abandon the six desires. Cut off the emotions and thoughts, and be strong without desires.
He stretched out his hand to touch his eyebrows, and a ray of light burst out under his fingertips.
This was the grief that he could not let go of, and with the pain of losing his mother, it turned into hatred.
Since practicing the Burning Heart Art, he has been stuck in the eighth level for a long time. If he wants to break through, he can only let go of his obsession with revenge.
But he can't do it.
The howling cold wind rolled up three thousand blue hairs, leaving only one thought of sorrow that never faded or dispersed.
Noon the next day.
Liu Ruyan straightened her clothes and entered the palace to meet the saint.
The Han Emperor, who had been waiting for a long time, was overjoyed. When he saw a horseman riding Hongchen approaching from afar, he actually greeted him personally.
Liu Ruyan jumped off the horse, clasped her fists, and performed a military salute: "My lord, I pay homage to your Majesty."
The Han Emperor nodded slightly and said: "This trip is dangerous, thanks to the help of my beloved minister."
"This is a matter within my duty."
Ye Xun imitated his host's accent and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, a humble servant is just a brick. There is no need to move it anywhere."
Liu Ruyan's expression did not change and she said to the Han Emperor: "I just don't know when the envoy from the Liao Kingdom will arrive?"
Emperor Han smiled: "I should be able to catch up with the banquet tonight."
After saying that, he walked towards Zichen Hall with his head held high.
As soon as I entered the palace gate, there were many people waiting on the left and right, and they all left.
Liu Ruyan knew what the saint meant, so she respectfully took out the wooden box and presented it with both hands.
Seeing the wooden box, the Han Emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Have you seen the contents in the box?"
Liu Ruyan folded her hands on her chest and replied calmly: "This is a secret between the two countries. I dare not exceed it. However, the contents in the box have been stolen by the Cang Ming Sect. I don't know if they have seen it.
"
These words were said with perfect accuracy and pointed the finger at Cang Ming.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty held the wooden box and took out a piece of cloth with several paragraphs of ancient calligraphy on it.
This is Qin Wen, also known as "Qin Seal".
There were dozens of medicinal materials written in it, and some of the handwriting was difficult to read because of the age. At the end of the silk book, it was written - if you use this elixir to make medicine, the elixir will be made.
He put the prescription back into the box and looked at Liu Ruyan.
"We will invite the envoy to this dinner, and Liu Aiqing will also attend the banquet."
After listening, she folded her hands forward, bowed and sang.
That night.
When the moon is bright in the sky, it is appropriate to drink and have fun.
The lights in the palace were shining brightly, singing and dancing were taking place, the envoys and the Han Emperor exchanged cups, Liu Ruyan supported her hat with her hands, her cheeks were flushed, as if she was drunk.
Privately, she was listening to Ye Xun's words:
"The host didn't see the last live broadcast. Don't miss tonight's replay."
Ye Xun drew a screen, and the beautiful and classical scene was laid out in the scene of her fierce water fight with Shen Yanchu.
The wind is howling and the waves are magnificent.
Countless speakers intertwined and resonated, and after technical processing, some of the noise on the scene was eliminated. It was as if Liu Ruyan and Shen Yanchu were the only two figures left in the world.
Ye Xun pressed a button, and the screen began to be flooded with bullet screens:
"What's going on? There's a tornado blowing over the water?"
"I'm very diligent in obeying the Tao, and the special effects are enough to make it look fake."
"Did you read the introduction clearly upstairs? This is a live broadcast! Real scenes, real characters, real plot."
Liu Ruyan glanced at the introduction column.
