The Child Emperor

Meng E rarely asks questions, but this time, she asked clearly, You go to fight and want me to protect you secretly?

This is not a simple fight. The previous Lin Kunshan must have been sent by the East Sea King. He is planning a conspiracy, and this fight may also be planned by him.

Knowing it's a conspiracy, you still want to get over?

Hiding in the distance, you can only wait for the East Sea King to make a move, but it is more likely to be injured. It is better to go up and pierce the trap, isn't it?

There was no sound in the study, Han Ruzi stood up, Are you still there? Do you agree or disagree?

There was still no sound, Han Ruzi shook his head helplessly, had to sit down, and murmured, Just assume she agrees.

It was dark in the study, and he could barely see his fingers. Han Ruzi was still full of energy. He didn't want to go to bed so quickly. He sat on the chair and shook his legs unconsciously, asking himself over and over again: Can he sit back on the throne of the emperor again? Are you doing something stupid and ridiculous?

He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

There was a soft knock on the door outside.

Who?

Have you not fallen asleep yet?

It was actually Mrs. Cui Xiaojun. She seldom came to the study. This was the first time she visited after dark. Han Ruzi was very surprised. Surprised, Why are you here?

Cui Xiaojun smiled, she only wore a close-fitting jacket and looked very thin, I can't sleep, so I just want to come over and have a look, if you are too busy...

Not busy. Han Ruzi stretched out his hand and pulled his wife in, turned to look for the flint bag, I'll light the lamp.

Cui Xiaojun grabbed Juan Hou, No, I just came to see you, and I'll leave later.

Are you afraid? Han Ruzi took her hands.

Cui Xiaojun turned his face slightly, I'm not afraid, it's just... just...

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong where I sleep.

You feel this way too? Cui Xiaojun raised his eyes, reflecting a trace of moonlight.

Follow me. Han Ruzi took her hand and walked out.

Where are you going? Cui Xiaojun stopped after a step, and followed him out of the house.

Marquis Tien's mansion is very large, but there are not many people. At this time, they are resting. The whole mansion is silent. Han Ruzi and his wife walked quietly under the corridor and stopped at the door of a wing room.

This is Zeng Fucheng. Han Ruzi whispered, He must have drank a lot today, and even his snoring smells of alcohol.

Cui Xiaojun burst out laughing, the snoring in the room was a little weaker, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, and after a while, the snoring started again.

Won't he come home? she asked quietly.

He can go home, but I heard that his wife is very powerful, so he would rather live here.

Cui Xiaojun squinted at Hou Juan, and Han Ruzi hurriedly added: I'm different from him, he never goes home, and I live in the study room one day in ten days...

Cui Xiaojun smiled and pushed him away, Don't talk here, it will wake people up.

The two walked slowly under the porch, and Han Ruzi introduced who lived there one by one and explained the characteristics of their snoring.

In the beginning, it was like a sparrow on a fence, and it spread its wings and flew like a falcon moving southward. Suddenly, a roc soared into the sky—this is the commander of Zheng Fu.

This snoring seems to be snoring, it must be He Yi, the accountant, and he is also drinking in his dreams.

Grinding his teeth and talking in his sleep, this is Zhang Youcai. I've always been embarrassed to tell him the truth. He thought he was the quietest sleeper in the world.

Stay away from the house in front. Du Chuanyun lives there. He said that he has eyes and ears, and there is a mechanism on the door. I think he is bragging, but... I won't test him today.

As soon as the two entered the yard and walked back, the further back they were, the fewer people lived. Their bedroom was the third one, and only four or five people lived in the main room and the wing room.

The two stood at the door of their bedroom and listened. The maid inside was soundly asleep. They didn't even know that the hostess was leaving quietly, and they didn't know that the couple were standing outside like thieves.

She didn't make a sound after she fell asleep. Cui Xiaojun said in a very low voice, Every night I think of going to the outhouse to have a look.

Han Ruzi smiled and took her hand to continue the little adventure tonight.

There are no people in the back garden. After more than a month of Cui Xiaojun's care, this place has begun to take shape, and all kinds of strange fragrances and odors are wafting in the wind in the summer night. Catch the wind and smell the fragrance, listen to the sing of insects and frogs.

Do you feel better? Han Ruzi asked.

Cui Xiaojun nodded with a smile, indeed, Marquis Mansion is more like her home.

The two found a stone and sat down, whispering softly. Before the moon passed, Cui Xiaojun fell asleep on the shoulders of Juan Hou. Han Ruzi gently picked her up and sent her back to the bedroom. There were no maids living outside. feel.

When he got to the bed, Cui Xiaojun still hugged one of his arms tightly, Han Ruzi lay down in his clothes, hoping that this moment could last forever, but his thoughts involuntarily turned to the throne of gain and loss. He knew best that Cui Xiaojun was afraid. It makes sense, the Marquis Mansion is only the alms lent to them temporarily, and maybe one day, everything will be taken away.

The more history books he read, the more Han Ruzi thought about it. There is only one circumstance in which the abolished emperor may spend the rest of his life peacefully. That is, the new emperor's position is stable. But the status quo of Da Chu was 108,000 miles away from it. That chubby child was not even qualified to compete for imperial power.

Da Chu is destined to be in chaos, and the deposed emperor is destined to have no peace.

Early the next morning, Han Ruzi opened his eyes and saw Cui Xiaojun's smiling face.

Sorry, I disturbed your practice last night.

Anyway, I can't become a top expert. It's okay to be lazy once or twice. Han Ruzi hugged her neck, Cui Xiaojun smiled and avoided, the maid outside knocked on the door and came in. Seeing Hou Juan was also on the bed, he couldn't help but stay for a while.

Han Ruzi has informed Meng E that next, he will prepare to join Chai Yun and Cui Teng in the decisive battle. If this is just a nonsense between Xungui's children, he hopes to take the opportunity to contact more people. If this is Donghai The conspiracy planned by Wang, he wants to teach the king of Donghai a lesson.

Du Chuanyun was ready. He found his short sword and polished it over and over again. His voice was shrill and harsh, causing Zhang Youcai's expression to change, You, are you really going to kill?

Of course. Du Chuanyun didn't lift his head, touched the blade, and continued to polish, Have you never killed anyone?

Zhang Youcai shook his head, But I've seen it more than once.

Hey, that's two different things. Du Chuanyun pulled out a hair and blew it against the blade, watching the two strands of hair fall, slightly satisfied.

On the other side of the room, Han Ruzi was talking with Du Motian. He couldn't hide such a big thing from Du Chuanyun's grandfather.

The old man was not surprised, and said lightly, Just play, don't cause trouble.

Du Chuanyun raised his head and said, Don't worry, Grandpa, I am measured.

Hey, you've only fought a few times, so you dare to say that you have a sense of balance? Fighting is not a competition, even an experienced old swordsman can't be sure to miss it.

Zhang Youcai whispered, So you haven't really killed anyone.

Du Chuanyun glared at him, but did not refute.

Du Motian got up and said goodbye to Marquis Juan. He came back soon after and threw a hard wooden stick to Du Chuanyun, the length of which was almost the same as that of a dagger, Use this.

Du Chuanyun had just sharpened his sword and was very satisfied. Looking at the wooden stick on his knees, he was very dissatisfied, I am a swordsman, not a beggar. What is a wooden stick? I would rather be empty-handed.

Then empty-handed. Du Motian was never polite to his grandson, Is a swordsman so good? Competitive and greedy, he is a swordsman, not a swordsman.

Grandpa, you even took me as an assassin.

The great national teacher is famous, and the small people must have a reason. The assassination of Yang Feng was to avenge a friend. When did you see grandpa fighting for no reason?

Du Chuanyun lowered his head and said nothing. Han Ruzi felt that Du Motian's words were for himself, but he didn't say anything.

Du Chuanyun reluctantly put away the sharpened dagger, picked up the wooden stick, and sighed, Okay, just use it, even if the opponent is a real knife, I will never abuse the weapon, at most a few knives, Can't die.

Du Motian grabbed the short sword from his grandson and sent it to Marquis Juan, Please Marquis Juan keep this sword. It is up to Marquis Juan to decide whether to use it or not.

Han Ruzi got up and took the dagger solemnly, I won't let this sword be ashamed.

The old swordsman smiled and turned away.

Du Chuanyun was at a loss, I followed my grandfather to walk around the world for so many years, and he actually believed you but not me!

Han Ruzi said to Zhang Youcai, It's a matter of courtesy, go to Hengyang Hou's Mansion and invite Chai Xiaohou to go to the Wugui Building in the West City for a gathering.

That afternoon, Chai Yun came with two attendants at the invitation, and as soon as she entered the private room, she smiled and said, Wanhou Ting knows how to choose a place. We often go to Jiang's house in Nancheng and Xiaoyao Village outside the city, that is a good place, good wine and good people.

Han Ruzi pretended not to understand and said with a smile, What's the use of being nice, and I can't drink to the shopkeeper or the guy.

Haha, Tired Hou is really interesting.

The two greeted each other, sat down to drink and chat, and their entourage stood aside to cheer. After getting the master's hint, they all left the private room.

Have you decided? Chai Yun asked directly.

Why not? Just play.

Okay, the words of Hou Juan won my heart, isn't it just for fun. People like us do not want to kowtow everywhere when they are officials, they can't bear this face in business, and they can't stand the wind and frost, and their whole life is nothing more than in this world of skeletons. Go for a walk, make friends, taste the world's delicious food, pick the fragrance of the boudoir, one word, play.

It's fun to play, I don't want to lose.

Don't worry, I have arranged everything, Hou Juan will show up, Du Chuanyun will come out with his sword, everything will come naturally, I have inquired, there are no masters on Cui Teng's side, we will capture him and humiliate him, so that he will not dare to be arrogant, let's It's famous.

I have one more thing to ask.

Please tell me.

Has Marquis Guiyi agreed to the Cui family's proposal?

Chai Yun was slightly taken aback, What does he disagree with? That old man would love to marry the Cui family.

I have an idea. If Marquis Guiyi agrees to the marriage, let's say that Cui Teng is infatuated with Hun women and is disloyal to Da Chu. If Marquis Guiyi does not agree, we will say that Cui Teng is taking advantage of the situation to marry. , act in good faith.”

Chai Yun was stunned for a while, and then suddenly laughed: You are so fucking smart, this friend, I made an appointment!
