Chapter 352: Use this world to make a fuss
Shen Yue walked out of Qijitang in a shabby state, wrapped in the wind and snow. Seeing the people waiting outside in full alert, Shen Yue raised his hand to stop Ying Yi who was leading the horse forward.
"Yingyi, when you were ordered to go south and returned that day, what did Yaoguang say to you?"
Yingyi's heart skipped a beat, and seeing his master trying hard to hide his feelings, Yingyi knew he couldn't hide it anymore, and regardless of the cold ground, he knelt down with a plop, touching the ground with his forehead.
"General, please forgive me. Yes, I lied. I deserve to die."
"Ha, ha ha ha! You lied to me, you all lied to me! Ying Yi! You are my arm, I trust you, I respect you, but you lied to me?"
Ying Yi knelt forward excitedly, "No, General! My Lord! I didn't want to do that either, but the situation was like that at the time. You couldn't be distracted surrounded by powerful enemies. I was afraid that you would feel bad, and I couldn't accept Miss Li's rejection for the time being. I didn't want you to be disappointed. I'm alone, so I just..."
"Just what? Ha, so you just took it upon yourself to try to deceive me?"
Thinking of the deception he had suffered, thinking of how he had hurried here like a fool and returned disappointed, Shen Yue felt a pain in his heart and kicked out in anger, "Get out!"
"Lord!"
It was rare for the generals to see their master in such a state. Ying Yi was even more ashamed and guilty. He grabbed the corner of Shen Yue's clothes tightly, leaned over the ground, cried bitterly, kowtowed, and called himself "General" over and over again, and he was ashamed and guilty. His forehead was bruised and bloody.
Ying'er and the others on the side couldn't bear to watch this, after all, they were brothers who had been through thick and thin together, so Ying'er bravely stepped forward to comfort them.
"Master, this is not a good place to talk. It has already happened. It will not help if you get angry again. If Miss Li knows about it, it may cause misunderstanding again. Why not ask him to make amends? What do you think?"
Yes, if Yaoguang knew about this, she would probably misunderstand him as acting. He had already lost her heart, and he must not let her misunderstand him again. Otherwise, there would be no chance of recovery. He could not do this.
After figuring this out, Shen Yue turned his head and looked deeply at the tightly closed door behind him. He raised his hand to hide his face of pain and loss, smiled bitterly, and ordered Ying Er to send out elite men to guard Qijitang and ensure Li Yaoguang's safety. Then he took the remaining men and disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like when he came.
Riding his horse hurriedly back to the Shen Mansion, Shen Yue suppressed his anger and acted in secret. While waiting for the army to return to the city, he secretly sent people to investigate the truth. However, he encountered resistance as soon as he started investigating.
Yes, the Cui and Zhou families are from centuries-old families that have survived several generations of dynasties. Their relationships are complicated and have a deep foundation. In addition, when they chose the marriage, he wanted the other party's power and the other party also wanted others. After so much mutual benefit and adjustment for so long, he got what he needed, and the other party had also reached out to him, and followed him in his campaigns and made great achievements.
Even Huang Lijin, a woman who had made several contributions and was a good person, had made great contributions when she went south to rescue the families of soldiers that day. She naturally received a lot of support and attention, and was also considered a meritorious official.
Now that the overall situation has been initially determined, it is time to be anxious to stabilize the situation and win over the people's hearts. It is difficult to clean up the mess caused by the other party. Even if something is found out, without concrete evidence, if these three parties are involved, one thing may go wrong and one may be criticized for being a cunning rabbit that has died and then abandoned. It may even arouse the hearts of those heroes behind him.
In this state, the investigation of the spider silk was in trouble, which made Shen Yue unable to face Li Yaoguang. He was deeply trapped in it, and blamed himself. This made Shen Yue like a trapped beast. He was thin and tired. He changed from his former enterprising spirit, and had no interest in government affairs or meeting people...
His abnormal behavior was soon noticed by everyone, and Cui, Zhou and Huang Lijin were even more worried.
The three of them are not stupid to have come this far. Shen Yue's return and strangeness made them extremely nervous. In addition, they vaguely discovered that someone was investigating them behind the scenes. The three of them immediately felt that something was wrong and found an opportunity to secretly gather again.
"What should we do now? I suspect my husband has already started investigating us. What should we do? Sister Cui, do you have any way to deal with it? And Miss Li Jin, today's incident was caused by you, you can't give up."
Huang Lijin was also annoyed by the current situation. She secretly cursed the two people in front of her for being brainless. She hated Li Yaoguang even more for lingering around and making her man never forget her!
I was so angry in my heart, but I had to comfort her on the surface.
"Don't worry, ladies. The Cui family and the Zhou family are standing behind you. You and the families behind you have made great contributions to the success of the king! It is said that the two families have made great contributions to the south rebellion and have made outstanding contributions. At this critical moment, the king will not touch you."
"That being said, my husband has a bad temper. If he knew we were playing tricks on him, it would only be a matter of time before he would take action, considering the importance of that person in his heart."
"Haha, I know what the two ladies are worried about. If that's the case, we can only do it once and for all and strike first."
"Strike first to gain the advantage? How do you strike first?" Facing the gazes of the two idiots, Huang Lijin smiled meaningfully.
"Don't worry, ladies. As the saying goes, a man's ambition is to go far. If you were to choose between the world and a woman, how would you choose?"
"Needless to say, it's the world!"
Huang Lijin clapped her hands, "Yes, of course it's the whole world! Your Majesty is an illustrious ruler, and since he has chosen the whole world, let's make use of it to do something!"
"The world? Do something about it? How do you do it?"
Huang Lijin smiled and leaned over to whisper in the two men's ears. Slowly, slowly, the anxious expressions on Cui Zhou and the other man's faces gradually turned into joy, and their eyes were filled with determination to win.
Then, from some unknown time on, a strange wind blew through the city of Kyoto.
The origin of this evil wind...
At first, he was just a night watchman in Kyoto City. During his night patrol, he found that the city was not peaceful.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, every time the night watchman patrolled near Qijitang, he always felt a shadow behind him, as if someone was following him. He would bravely look back and check carefully, but there was no sign of anyone. This happened repeatedly, and the night watchman was really scared.
This happened every night, one after another fell, and several night watchmen were replaced, all with the same story. The matter became a big deal, and people in the streets and alleys were whispering and talking about it.
Some said it was a miracle, some said it was a ghost. Some people didn't believe it, some insisted. With the guidance of some people, the streets and alleys near Qijitang became lively before people knew it.
For several days in a row, the focus was on this, and then something strange happened.
It was a rare sunny day in winter. The biting north wind had stopped and there was no snow on the ground. Because of this, the people who gathered together made a miraculous discovery: something strange had appeared on the ground and walls in many places around Qijitang.
Someone exclaimed: "Oh my God, look, what is that!"
Everyone leaned over and asked, "What what?"
A lot of discussion ensued.
"Hiss! How could this happen? Why are there so many ants and bees?"
"Oh, it's so dense, my skin is crawling."
"Look carefully, those are words. These ants and bees are actually writing!"
"Hey, what did you write?"
"Let me see, let me see, this is... demon, demon? It's actually the word demon! Oh my God! Am I dazzled? Come on, everyone, come and see, is this the word demon?"
"Don't tell me, it really is a monster! Oh my god, what are these ants and bees doing in broad daylight? Could it be that there really are monsters in this world?"
"Hush! Keep your voice down! Stop talking now! It's scary."
"Yes, yes, it's scary. Where did these monsters come from in broad daylight? And don't monsters only appear in troubled times? Right now, it's clear..."
It is obvious that the chaotic times will end and peace will come. Why is it that a wise ruler has appeared in the world?
