Unclean

Chapter 36

The fine needle can be forced out with internal force in only half a moment, Yan Yunhe looked at Yu Qin who couldn't move, this goodbye, You Zhihe said goodbye to Yu Qin, or he said goodbye to Yu Qin.

When something happened to Qi Shaolian, it was impossible for him to sit idly by.

If he offends Emperor Cheng Jing and loses his sacred heart, he might return to the Yong'an Hou Mansion and become an idle nobleman.

If you really bid farewell to the court, it will be difficult to see each other in the future.

Yan Yunhe retreated step by step, the cold wind poured in from the alley, he looked at Yu Qin, there was no anger on the other side's face after being plotted against, he just looked straight at Yan Yunhe, his eyes were complicated that Yan Yunhe couldn't understand.

He sighed, took off his cloak, and wrapped it around Yu Qin.

Afterwards, Yan Yunhe flew away without hesitation, riding the night wind and the eaves, galloping all the way back to Fangfu.

As soon as he landed in the courtyard, Yan Yunhe used his internal force to roughly return the bone to its original position.

As he walked step by step, Yue Xia's figure gradually became taller amidst the teeth-stinging joint movements, and when he passed by the old servant, Yan Yunhe had already returned to his original appearance.

He took the tea in the other party's hand casually, and said to the surprised old servant: "Has your son returned home?"

The voice has returned from the clear and clear youth to the deep and low voice it used to be.

The old servant nodded, Yan Yunhe carried the tray into the main room, Fang Zhizhou was already sitting on the chair, checking the letter in his hand, when he raised his eyes to see Yan Yunhe who had regained his figure, he didn't show the slightest surprise.

"Master Yi Rong will be back soon, why not wait?" Fang Zhizhou flipped through the letter in his hand and said.

"I can't wait." Yan Yunhe put down the tray and poured a cup of tea for Fang Zhizhou: "There are two cups, they are definitely not for me, who is coming tonight?"

Fang Zhizhou leaned on the back of the chair: "Yin Niang."

"Yinniang has been staying well in Yunzhou, and now she came back suddenly, it seems that it is because of the smuggling case." Yan Yunhe said.

Fang Zhizhou did not deny it, and Yan Yunhe also sat down: "So now I am completely excluded? Just because the person behind this may be King Wu?"

"Huaiyang, isn't the purpose of your going to Yunzhou to return to Shenji Camp?" Fang Zhizhou said calmly, "During the time before returning to Shenji Camp, you can take a good rest."

Yan Yunhe's lips curled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Should I rest or dismiss?"

Fang Zhizhou put down the letter with a serious face: "Why do you think so, Your Majesty never thought of giving up on you."

Yan Yunhe also poured tea into the other cup, and drank it down: "I don't want to give up, but I don't plan to see me anymore, do I?"

Fang Zhizhou said: "You also know that now is not the right time. When the time comes, you will naturally come back."

Yan Yunhe knew that Fang Zhizhou had always used an official accent, but he didn't expect that one day this official accent would be played on him.

He went straight to the point: "Even if King Wu really conspired to rebel, Qi Shaolian would not rebel. Although the north has been relatively peaceful in recent years, it is because Qi Shaolian is here, and the border cannot be separated from him."

Fang Zhizhou saw him open the skylight to speak bluntly, and said bluntly: "This is not a good thing."

Yan Yunhe's complexion changed slightly: "What do you mean, Your Majesty is suspicious of Master?"

Fang Zhizhou sighed: "Look, that's why you can't come forward in this case. Your position determines that you can't be objective."

Yan Yunhe held the armrest, the back of his hand turned white, and his veins were exposed: "Soldiers died in battle, seeking prosperity and peace, and defending the country!"

"Qi Shaolian has guarded the border for many years, and he has made a lot of military achievements. His family enjoys glory and wealth in the capital, and the court has never treated him favorably." Fang Zhizhou's tone sank: "Your Majesty has called him back to Beijing three times. Those who resist the edict are disrespectful." He is Qi Shaolian."

Yan Yunhe has been deeply involved in the border for many years, and he couldn't help but refute when he heard this: "Your Majesty didn't know how the battle was going at that time. Although there was a small victory, the Tatars only retreated temporarily and will make a comeback at any time. If we really take this as our victory , was ordered to return to Beijing, the enemy took the opportunity to attack, what should we do with the people we saved in the city that we took years to recapture!"

"You mean to say that the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be tolerated?" Fang Zhizhou said.

I don't know when, this sentence has already become a reminder for the general, which originated from the emperor's suspicion.

"The border is heavily guarded and has been stationed for many years. The military needs are kept in the household department every year, and the national treasury is emptied. This is necessary for the stability of the situation. The household department never dares to delay. Even if the whole capital is frugal, the people suffer, and they dare not short the military supplies. " Fang Zhizhou sneered and said: "But now who knows, the imperial soldiers stationed on the border have already become the famous Qi family army."

Yan Yunhe replied with a sarcastic smile: "If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have no words!"

As the two looked at each other, the atmosphere was sharp and tit for tat.

Just as they were about to explode, there was a knock on the door, they looked over, Yinniang was still dressed in green, leaning on the door, looking at them with folded hands: "Okay, we are all grown-ups, and we are still arguing."

Fang Zhizhou restrained his expression and eased his tone: "We're not arguing."

Yinniang walked in: "Really, I thought you guys were going to fight."

Fang Zhizhou chuckled and said: "If there is a real fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive three moves under Huaiyang's hands."

Yan Yunhe managed to stabilize his emotions, nodded to Yinniang as a greeting, and prepared to leave.

Yinniang grabbed him, "You still don't want to take off those disguises on your face?"

After a while, in the guest room, Yinniang poured some medicine into the water, finally wetted it with a handkerchief, and gently wiped it on Yan Yunhe's face: "Actually, you don't have to think so much about how important General Qi is, Your Majesty." It's clear."

Yan Yunhe closed his eyes and did not speak.

Yinniang smiled: "Do you think that I admire Your Majesty and also speak good words for His Majesty?"

Yan Yunhe said helplessly: "I know, in fact, His Majesty has his own decision in mind."

Yinniang washed a veil again: "In the third year of Chengjing, the Tatars invaded, and the border was in chaos. General Lu who guarded was defeated, and the three border cities were handed over to others. Empress Dowager Jiang beheaded Lu Ying, replaced Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan Also lost, let the second city."

This period of history is so clear, he even personally experienced that chaotic situation.

"It was His Majesty who stood up to the crowd and appointed General Qi, who was still unknown at the time." Yinniang said softly: "At that time, General Qi suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle, and there were many discussions in the court. It was His Majesty who withstood the pressure and gave General Qi the second Second chance."

Yinniang: "For as long as General Qi has been in the frontier, soldiers, horses, food and grass have been sent to the frontier first. It was the early corruption that led to chaos in the army. Without His Majesty's strong support behind him, how could Qi Shaolian rectify it so swiftly and swiftly. "

Yan Yunhe opened his eyes, and said calmly to Yinniang: "I know what you mean, but throughout the ages, adversity has been shared, and wealth has been shared. People's hearts are changeable, and this matter involves conspiracy. I dare not gamble."

Yinniang shook her head: "You still don't understand that the relationship between General Qi and His Majesty may not be as indestructible as we imagined, but it will never be so fragile."

……

Fang Zhizhou continued to read the Chinese book in the hall, Yan Yunhe walked into the hall, froze for a while before saying: "I'm sorry just now, I shouldn't be so impulsive."

Fang Zhizhou pinched the bridge of his nose: "It's not easy to get an apology from you, so tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Tomorrow's ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, I want to enter the Jinwu Guard." Yan Yunhe said.

Fang Zhizhou worried: "You still want to see His Majesty?"

Yan Yunhe shook his head: "I'm worried that there will be another ambush tomorrow, I don't worry, let me follow His Majesty."

If the king of Wu was wronged, then those who conspired against him must have someone behind him. Most of the Jinwu guards are children of aristocratic families, and they are all ostentatious. What a surprise, they are not as easy to use as Jin Yiwei.

But His Majesty doesn't trust Jin Yiwei, and Jin Yiwei will never accompany him tomorrow.

However, on the second day, Yan Yunhe was wearing the costume of the Jinwu Guard and hiding in the team. When he saw Yu Qin not far away in the red flying fish suit with serious eyes, he was speechless for a while.

It seems that the Empress Dowager was also worried about what might happen today, so she sent Jin Yiwei.

Although the Heaven Worship Ceremony is a celebration, the process is solemn and complicated.

Dressed in a crown and uniform, Emperor Cheng Jing drove out of the palace and knelt down to meet the gods at the Temple of Heaven.At every step of the process, Yan Yunhe raised all his spirits and was vigilant in all directions.

However, nothing happened until the emperor came to the observatory, which meant that the ceremony was about to end.

Yan Yunhe's heart sank straight to the bottom of the valley, it seemed that King Wu's rebellion was a certainty.

After the palace banquet in the evening, Yan Yunhe still didn't come to be summoned by Emperor Cheng Jing, so he understood what the other party meant, and felt sad for a moment.

Tai Le Department has prepared a banquet, music and dance for today's palace banquet.Along with the music, the dancers toss their water sleeves lightly.

As if foreshadowing that it would not be peaceful tonight, as the drum beats became louder, a cold light flashed, and changes abounded.

The leading dancer attacked with a sword and attacked Emperor Cheng Jing directly.

Emperor Cheng Jing held the wine in his right hand, rested his left palm on the armrest, and drank with his eyes downcast. He didn't even raise his eyes to look at the assassin, when several guards surrounded him.

The sharp blade slashed, blood splashed on the jade white stone steps, and the assassin was killed on the spot.

One blow failed, and several assassins drew their swords.

Yan Yunhe kicked an assassin flying away, and someone came with a knife in his peripheral vision.

In the next second, the man's waist and abdomen were pierced with a golden knife, and the commander of Jin Yiwei pulled out the knife. Blood stained his lapel red, and a drop of blood fell on his cheek, like a red mole.

Yu Qin held the golden knife in his hand, and the familiar gaze that fell on Yan Yunhe again was thin and cold.

Yan Yunhe didn't wear any mask, he just appeared in front of people with his own face.

He knows everything will come back to square one.

The turmoil ended quickly, and Emperor Cheng Jing was escorted back to the palace urgently.

The soldiers dragged down the corpses all over the floor, and the death was not the end. The people in Dali Temple had to find clues even if they broke their stomachs.

The palace servants came to clean the blood-stained brick surface, but no one dared to make any more noise except for the sound of cleaning.

The air was filled with dead silence, and Yan Yunhe stood in front of the hall for a long time before exhaling the stale air from his chest.

Cining Palace.

Aunt Zhang quietly stepped forward, leaned into the Empress Dowager's ear, and said softly: "Master Yu has passed out, do you want to continue?"

Empress Dowager Jiang slightly turned her head, Zhu Cui did not shake at all: "Is it dead?"

Aunt Zhang shook her head, Empress Dowager Jiang said calmly, "Since you are not dead, let's continue."
