Chapter 39
"........."
Xie Tangru opened his eyes wide.
What Shang Qingyao said really didn't look like an emperor, but to Xie Shizi's ears, it sounded like... a rascal.
The emperor is rich in the world, what does he lack?Xie Tangru had to exchange other things for a piece of jade pendant - Xie Shizi didn't know whether he should feel that people who play politics are dirty, or admire Shang Qingyao's determination to not be moved by foreign things.
The inch-sized seal was rolled over at the fingertips, and Xie Tangru calmly put it back into his sleeve - it was Cheng Wang's private seal that was used to exchange jade pendants at that time.
Thinking of this private seal, Xie Tangru couldn't help laughing from the bottom of her heart.From the beginning to the end, Shang Qingyao never thought about hiding his identity. Such an obvious token was easily given out, but it's a pity that he didn't find any clues like a fool.
"What does Your Majesty want?"
Shang Qingyao smiled calmly: "So I really know me."
"I'm not blind." The young man's voice was careless, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he just avoided Shang Qingyao's sight.
The lantern flower cracked slightly with a "click", and the silhouettes of the two people shook for a moment, as if the waves of water merged into one again, regardless of each other.
But there is such a clear distinction between the real two people.
Carefully maintain an invisible distance.
"I didn't bring the jade pendant with me today." Shang Qingyao suddenly changed the subject and said to Xie Tangru, "Why don't you go to the palace tomorrow to get it."
Xie Shizi pursed his lower lip, he didn't want to enter the palace: "Just send someone to Duke Wei's mansion."
"Your Majesty's jade pendant is precious. If something goes wrong with the palace servants, I'm afraid your Majesty will be angry with me again." Shang Qingyao's drooping thin eyelids provoked a smile.
Xie Tangru felt that what he said was too much, what does it mean to be "angry again"?He's not the moody guy...well, he is.
Xie Shizi, who had a deep understanding of himself, was powerless to refute.
But it was far from the standard that made him angry.
Xie Shizi thought, Shang Qingyao still didn't understand him.
He didn't want to get entangled with Shang Qingyao about the jade pendant, so he nodded in response to his words: "Then I'll send someone into the palace to fetch it tomorrow. Thank you, Your Majesty."
His attitude is polite and distant, like a courtier to a king.
Can't fault it.
But sometimes there are mistakes everywhere.
Shang Qingyao's eyes flickered, and he sat down opposite Xie Tangru: "When old friends meet again, does your son have nothing to say after several times?"
Xie Tangru was very surprised: "Your Majesty has a very high status. A mediocre idler like me can't afford to be called your Majesty's old friend. It's just a chance encounter. Your Majesty really doesn't need to take it to heart."
Shang Qingyao looked at Xie Tangru after listening.The faint candlelight reflected his calm expression, and the wind that came in from the square window rolled up the corner of the soft red silk, and then it died down and closed again ambiguously.
Mostly in the supreme position of the world, every word and deed can cause many unreasonable speculations by others, which naturally gives people a sense of oppression.
Xie Tangru's mind was a little loose, and he lowered his eyes halfway after he finished speaking.
Power is indeed a good thing.
No wonder he made himself into that ghost in the dream—once it was contaminated, it was hard to let go.
Especially when there are evenly matched opponents.All boring things will become not boring at all.
"Your Majesty thinks—" Shang Qingyao paused for a while before slowly repeating what Xie Tangru said, "You and I just met by chance?"
"otherwise?"
Xie Tangru asked lazily, looking out of the window from the corner of his eye.
Haoyue is in the sky.
Song Xuan yawned and stood outside the prison with a torch.
It's already this time, and the person who robbed the prison has not yet appeared.The emperor was not there, instead he took half of the embroidered clothes envoys to check the brothel. Thinking of this, Song Xuan couldn't help but hate himself for being so nosy, that he now has no one in his hands to use.
The few in the prison are also hard bones. People like Song Xuan who have been on the tip of their swords have personally interrogated them, but they have not been able to get any useful information.
I don't know whose subordinates are so well trained?If it wasn't for remembering that the other party was an enemy, Song Xuan would have wanted to ask for some tips on how to control him.
Gee.
Messy thoughts rolled around in his mind, Song Xuan stood in the night, the eagle eyes on the hem of his clothes glowed fiercely, waiting for the opportunity to catch the prey that could eat.
Xie Yuan squatted on the tree, he didn't have any breath around him, and even his breathing was integrated with the quiet night around him.
He has always been the best at hiding.
It is an invincible knife that Xie Tangru personally trained and taught.
So no one found him.
Song Xuan didn't have either.
Until the wreath accessories on his handle were blown by the wind and hit the cold blade.
Song Xuan suddenly woke up, his ferocious gaze like a beast precisely fixed on the treetops.He hooked his lips and raised his hand.
The embroidered clothes envoys drew their bows and arrows one after another, and countless sharp arrows aimed at the treetops, carefully surrounding them.
Even the gods can't escape.
Xie Yuan looked down at the hunter who was approaching slowly, and stretched out his hand to tear off the necklace pendant on the knife.As a man who lives in the dark, he never wears any accessories.
This time it is an exception.
He jumped down from the tree with a knife in his hand, and his figure quickly disappeared, hiding in the shadows of trees and trees.
Song Xuan narrowed his eyes.
This is probably the person who came to rob the prison tonight. Judging from his body shape, he is a first-class master.
If he can catch such a fish, the fact that he has been blowing here for half a night is of little importance.
"Half of the people chased after me, and the other half stayed where they were. If there is any disturbance, they will be killed without mercy."
……
Xie Yuan ran for a while, and he held the necklace pendant in his hand. No matter how the wind blows, the necklace in his hand has never made any sound.
He stopped and gripped the handle of the knife.
This feeling is still too new for him - he has always been the first performer of the task, but this time it is not the case.
There was a dull breathing sound from all around, and the embroidered clothes envoys surrounded him cautiously, bows and arrows and scimitars were all aimed at him, whether he took a step forward or half a step back, it was a dead end.
The eagle that was about to fly appeared in Xie Yuan's field of vision again.
Song Xuan rolled up his sleeves, sure of winning: "Your Excellency, after running all the way, I'm tired after thinking about it, why don't you go have a cup of tea with me."
"No." Xie Yuan refused coldly. He glanced back and guessed that Jianshuang should have completed her part of the mission during the time he had lured her, and rescued her.
Frost has always been reliable.
Xie Yuan withdrew his thoughts and held up the knife in his hand: "You keep it for yourself, I'm leaving."
He looked stern, and assumed an attacking posture ready to go.
It is not difficult for him to get away from these people...
Realizing that it stopped abruptly here, Xie Yuan suddenly fell down.
Song Xuan Shi Ran took his hand out of his sleeve, only then did everyone realize that he was holding an incense stick in his hand.It was a stick of incense.The corners of the subordinates who had been with Song Xuan around him twitched. This Master Song's methods have always been endless, making the enemy hard to guard against. Who would have thought that he would still carry such things on him.
Although it is not open and aboveboard, it is really easy to use.As a courtier, as long as the means are useful.
Speaking of which, the assassin was unlucky to meet Song Xuan.The subordinate thought sympathetically.
Just a little inhalation of spices can make people dizzy, but Song Xuan had given himself and his subordinates the antidote in advance, so he was fine.
The embroidered clothes envoys made way for Song Xuan, and this unremarkable confidant of the new emperor squatted down beside Xie Yuan with a smile.
"I told you to drink tea, why did you refuse? Now there is no tea to drink, only prison food."
"How can I not see such a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but the few in the prison are useless anyway, it is better to catch a small fish."
The other party is also really generous, and the "bait" sent out is very skilled. If it wasn't for the drug brought today, it might not be able to handle it.
This kind of skill is definitely not ordinary in the hands of the opponent, and he must know a lot of useful information.
It's not a loss to exchange a few in prison for this one.
Song Xuan calculated this good deal, and immediately led people to chase it out.
The other party thought that he had succeeded in diverting the tiger away from the mountain, but in fact it was just him playing tricks.
His tone was slightly smug, and he stretched out his hand to remove Xie Yuan's mask.
Let him come and see what this assassin looks like.
The next moment, the cold and sharp blade touched his neck, cutting a thin line of blood.
The person who fell on the ground opened his eyes and his voice was cold.
"They say I don't drink tea, and tell you to keep it for yourself."
The author has something to say: I was stuck in the middle of the night when I wrote yesterday, and it will be better if I rewrite part of it today.
The most important thing at this stage is done!Will continue to work hard to update.
Then I still owe [eight more].
