Chapter 227
Chapter 227
Lin Qingyang's scalp exploded, his blood surged, he rushed forward without thinking about anything, and hit him with a fist.
But he was easily avoided by Gosho Nishi, who raised his hands high as if he didn't want to fight.
Lin Qingyang stood in front of Chu Lishu, staring angrily at Yusuoxi.At this time, Yusuoxi was not wearing a veil, so he could see a rather stunning face. The aggressive beauty was unforgettable at a glance, and it made Lin Qingyang understand that people with such looks must not be ordinary people. But no matter how handsome, Lin Qingyang just wanted to punch him flat when he saw the foolish smile on his face.
"Cousin, it's okay." Chu Lishu didn't want to have a conflict with Yusuo Xi, so he pressed Lin Qingyang's shoulder.
"But he..." Lin Qingyang was in a hurry. Just now, this man pressed down on Chu Lishu with his arms, and his face was close to him. What does this pervert want to do?Shouldn't you be kissing...Damn it!
"I was just talking to Mr. Chu, why are you people in the Great Zhou Dynasty so impulsive." Yusuoxi said with a smile.
Lin Qingyang was so excited that he wanted to go forward, but was held back by Chu Lishu.
Yusuoxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Lishu's taste: "What's your relationship?"
Chu Lishu's pupils shrank slightly, "Didn't you find out? Cousin."
"Just cousins?" Gosho Nishi raised his eyebrows.Gosho-nishi did find out about the ambiguous relationship between cousin Duanxiu, but it was not clear, so Gosho-nishi didn't fully believe it.
This is where Chu Lishu is careful. In fact, except for those close to him, in the eyes of others, Lin Qingyang loves his cousin. Although this is unfair to Lin Qingyang, from a certain point of view, it is to protect him of.
"It's strange to ask this question." Chu Lishu said coldly.
But when Lin Qingyang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. He was probably greedy and didn't want Chu Lishu to admit that they were just cousins, but he had no position to argue now, so he pulled Chu Lishu to Walk. "Don't talk nonsense with him!"
Yusuoxi suddenly said, "Young Master Chu, we will talk about the old days in another day, we still have a lot to say."
Chu Lishu glanced at him coldly and didn't speak, but Lin Qingyang stopped in his footsteps, turned around and looked towards the west of the Imperial Palace.
"My cousin has nothing to tell you about the past, don't get close to him anymore, I know I can't beat you, but I will never let you ask for anything if I fight to the death."
Lin Qingyang said this very seriously, not incompetent rage, but determined.Not only Chu Lishu was stunned, but Yusuo Xidu was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Lin Qingyang with interest, but in the end he still showed a look of contempt.Lin Qingyang is really a small person to Yusuoxi, the kind who doesn't pay attention at all.
However, Lin Qingyang was not irritated by his expression, he just held Chu Lishu's hand firmly and led them away.
After walking out of the rockery and coming to the lake, Lin Qingyang asked anxiously: "Did he bully you, did he hurt you, did he do anything that made you uncomfortable, and dared to mess around in our territory? But just find my little uncle, if we can't beat him anymore, we'll let Mu Huichun poison him, this bastard, we'll let him come and go."
Chu Lishu looked at him in a daze, since Lin Qingyang's harsh words just now, his heart beat faster.The heart that was uncomfortable by the things that may have happened in the past warmed up instantly.
Lin Qingyang was probably the only person in the world who only wanted to protect him, and was afraid that he would be wronged and hurt, but never asked him to protect him.Obviously he is the stronger one, but Lin Qingyang still instinctively wants to protect him for no reason.
When he first realized this, Chu Lishu felt that Lin Qingyang had a purpose, maybe because he liked him, so he intentionally flattered him, and then thought that maybe Lin Qingyang had the self-consciousness of being an elder brother, but then gradually It was discovered that Lin Qingyang was really instinctive, as if he regarded him as the most vulnerable existence in the world, and tried his best to protect him.
Just like what Lin Qingyang said, if you don't have the ability, you have to protect it even if you fight to the death.
The threat that Yusuoxi despises is the greatest protection for Chu Lishu.
Chu Lishu smiled at Lin Qingyang, that smile was really like a spring breeze, which made Lin Qingyang blush all of a sudden.
There were so many people in the palace, it was inconvenient for Chu Lishu to do too many movements, so he just held Lin Qingyang's hand tightly with his backhand and said, "It's okay, I'm really fine. As you said, if he really dares to provoke us, On our territory, let him come and go." Chu Lishu's eyes flashed fiercely, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, he naturally did not allow others to bully him.
At this time, the person who was still in the rockery did not chase out, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. The dagger that scratched him just now was naturally medicinal, not to mention that the person stupidly licked it. Although it was not fatal, it was also It will make the master's body weak for an hour, so even if Lin Qingyang doesn't come, Chu Lishu will be fine.He doesn't have any internal energy, so he will naturally consider things comprehensively.
Listening to Chu Lishu's answer, Lin Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked what they had just said in it for so long.
Just at this time, Yuechen also came to find them, and the three of them found a secret place. Chu Lishu didn't say the content of their conversation, but only revealed the identity of Yusuoxi.
"It's really him? How is it possible! He must be sick. Why did he come here in disguise?"
"Maybe it has something to do with the spies of Tianheng Kingdom that we eradicated last time, or maybe it's because the saintess came here alone, or it was just a whim." Chu Lishu expressed his conjecture. "Besides, the prince of Xiyue Kingdom will come here. I think it is because of him. Otherwise, because of Baya's relationship with the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should not dare to come. Baya has always wanted to curry favor with Tianheng Kingdom, so naturally he would not refuse Such an opportunity."
Yuechen gritted his teeth, and said in a bitter voice: "These two major enemies are still there, I really don't want to let them go back alive. But if we don't let them go, I'm afraid it will be another two-on-one battle. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has no ability to fight against it."
Chu Lishu said: "If they take the initiative to provoke, we will naturally have to deal with it, but if they don't provoke, we still follow our own plan and steps. The current situation should not make too many enemies."
Chu Lishu's plan has always been to secure the inside first and then fight the outside world, which is also the case in the original text, no matter how great the hatred is, he can bear it, and he will not be stupid enough to deal with so many enemies at the same time.
Yuechen couldn't help complaining: "This person must be mentally ill, to do things that ordinary people don't do."
"I feel that he is more like a good show. For the time being, we can only pay close attention to it, just in case." Chu Lishu said calmly: "If there is a chance... maybe we can find out some truth about the great war that year."
Yuechen thought of the magic drug that can make people tell the truth, and suddenly patted his head and said: "By the way, they were also one of the parties involved in the battle back then, and they can solve many mysteries for us, okay, let me tell Huo Luo , I guess this kid is going to blow up. By the way, the western painter is in trouble, I think he doesn't want to paint anymore, so he has to find another way."
Chu Lishu frowned slightly, and let Yuechen go first, only to realize that Lin Qingyang hadn't spoken the whole time, and looked at him suspiciously. "What's wrong?"
Lin Qingyang was dumbfounded for a long time, "So the master said that the person who imprisoned you while you were sick was the regent of Tianheng Kingdom?"
Lin Qingyang did not expect that he would cause Chu Lishu such trouble after completing a special task.In the original text, the regent and Baya son did not appear. The only possible influence is that they wiped out all the spies in Wuxinzhai before.
The regent Wang Yusuoxi did not mention much in the original text. It feels like a background board of an enemy country. From the initial battle of Tongjiaguan, he commanded the Tianheng Kingdom to fight. At the end, Yuan Ran fought back and opened the Tianheng Kingdom's imperial city. He is also the one who abandoned the city and fled. He is simply an indescribable and incomprehensible character.As Yuechen said, he was sick.
But in the text description they do not meet.
But he never thought that during the time when Chu Lishu disappeared, he had stayed by Yusuoxi's side. Thinking of the master's description, he must be worse than a slave.
Such a dangerous person shouldn't have appeared in front of Chu Lishu, it was all his fault.
Lin Qingyang blamed himself so much, his cheeks were already covered with annoyance.
Chu Lishu didn't understand Lin Qingyang's emotions, was he worried about him?
"I can't be sure, after all, I don't remember, and that person's personality is not normal, so I can't use common sense to judge. And... am I not in front of you right now? What else is there to worry about?" Chu Li Shu couldn't help reaching out and touching Lin Qingyang's earlobe.
Although what Yu Suoxi said in Chu Lishu's ear disgusted him, but Chu Lishu was not so easy to trust others, as long as it was told by others, he would maintain a certain degree of suspicion.To Chu Lishu, this kind of verbal ruthlessness is forgotten, and there is nothing to care about.
Now he only hopes that this trip to the West of the Imperial Palace will really not find trouble for him, but the wild goose has left his hair, and he still has to blow up some value before he leaves. As for their revenge, we will report it in the future.
Lin Qingyang's ears were sensitive and itchy, and after being teased by Chu Lishu, his complicated emotions disappeared, but he still felt sorry for Chu Lishu.
The two were about to go to the pavilion when the system gave a new task.
[Second task set, task 19: Help the male protagonist to separate the emperor and General Zhao. 】
In fact, on the Wanshou Festival, the male protagonist has two purposes. The first is to fight against Yuan Ye with the four princes, making the Cheng family and Li Cheng confront each other. The second is to continue to remove the power around the emperor, including those about Ning Ziheng and Zhao Cheng design.
And Zhao Cheng's importance to the emperor has been weakened a lot because of Huo Luo's rise, and his biggest weakness, which is also the biggest point of conflict with the emperor, is Concubine Mei.
The fact that Zhao Cheng likes Concubine Mei is actually unknown to the emperor, after all, Zhao Cheng has always been loyal to him and is his confidant.He didn't have much contact with Concubine Mei in the harem, at most he was close to Prime Minister Li and the fourth prince, which was understandable, after all, Zhao Cheng was recommended by Prime Minister Li.
But if the emperor found out that Zhao Cheng had always loved Concubine Mei and did not marry, even if Zhao Cheng did nothing, the emperor would definitely feel jealous and would be more inclined towards Huo Luo.
And what they need to do is to create an opportunity for the emperor to find out.
When the two came to the pavilion, the western painter had almost finished painting Concubine Xu. They needed a lot of drafts for a painting. After all, it is easy to make mistakes in the complicated lines here. In order not to offend the royal family, it is natural to be careful.Then it was time to draw for Concubine Mei, but there were other arrangements, and the western painter could only draw a rough outline, suggesting to draw again tomorrow.
Concubine Mei was clearly displeased, but it was the emperor who spoke before, so she could only swallow it.
But this is not good for Chu Lishu's plan.
Originally, the artist should draw for Concubine Mei first, and the extra drafts are useful, but now... can only be replaced with other things, but according to Zhao Cheng's cautious character, he will not hide Concubine Mei's belongings...
Chu Lishu didn't know if replacing it with ink painting would tempt Zhao Cheng's mind. Just as he was thinking about it, he realized that Lin Qingyang, who had been sitting with him on the periphery, was staring at the western painter.
Suddenly Lin Qingyang turned around and said, "If the plan must be completed today, then I can draw."
Chu Lishu frowned in surprise. How could someone who had never been in contact with western painting know how to draw it? Even Lin Qingyang, who had superb painting skills, couldn't draw it at a glance.
"Trust me, I can do it." Lin Qingyang said firmly.
As the place disbanded, Chu Lishu took Lin Qingyang and sneaked into the painter's palace when he found an opportunity. The painter was dozing off after having lunch and drinking, so Chu Lishu threw incense into the stove, causing the painter to fall into deep sleep.
Then the two entered the painting place.
There are all kinds of painting tools here. On the huge easel in the corner is the completed portrait of Concubine Xu, while on the other side of the easel there is only the portrait of Concubine Mei who is trying to color it. Probably the artist wanted to try coloring by hand, so he just tried it at will.
Lin Qingyang came to Concubine Mei's painting, sat down directly, picked up the palette and brushes beside him and began to paint, the movements that were a little unfamiliar at the beginning gradually became more proficient.
The more Chu Lishu looked at it, the more surprised he became, and gradually his eyes changed.
When Lin Qingyang finished painting, a lifelike portrait of Concubine Mei was completed. Although it was not up to the level of Western painters, it was still possible to seduce people as a semi-finished product.
Time was running out, and the two left with the painting. Chu Lishu also grabbed a cat and threw it into the studio to make it mess up everything and avoid being found out that they had used it.
There are rules in the palace that the portraits of nobles cannot be kept privately to avoid leakage, so the general drafts of paintings will be destroyed in a centralized manner.When the Western painter finished painting Xu Concubine before, he had already handed over the draft to the eunuchs and let them destroy it.
And this eunuch is naturally a member of Chief Hai.
So Concubine Mei's portrait appeared on the top of the destroyed paintings, and Chu Lishu also made an appointment with Zhao Cheng at a suitable place and at a suitable time.
Zhao Cheng was walking when he bumped into a little eunuch holding a draft, and the scroll of the draft rolled to the ground, Zhao Cheng naturally saw the portrait of Concubine Mei at once, the degree of verisimilitude compared to ink painting was almost like a real person.
Zhao Cheng's heart was moved all of a sudden, and he couldn't help asking, knowing that the little eunuch was going to destroy the paintings, evil thoughts came up in his heart, he was skilled, and he could easily hide the paintings when helping to pick them up. Before he knew it, no one would know that the painting was still with him.
Just in case, Zhao Cheng personally followed the eunuch, watching him carelessly burn all the paintings as if he had completed the task, so he was completely relieved.
With the portrait of his sweetheart in his arms, Zhao Cheng's inner desire was infinitely magnified, and the smile on his face could not be stopped when he saw Chu Lishu.
Chu Lishu knew it well, and then told Zhao Cheng about tonight's banquet, saying that he was worried that someone would embarrass the fourth prince, and hoped that he could protect the face of the fourth prince by then. Zhao Cheng felt that this was a matter of course. Nod your head in response.
After Zhao Cheng left, Lin Qingyang came out and said, "Are you sure he will take it with you?"
"He won't feel at ease if he puts it anywhere in the palace. It's the safest for him to put it on his body." Chu Lishu said with a chuckle.Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Qingyang.
Lin Qingyang smiled dryly; "The plan is complete."
"Would you like to explain to me why you paint Western paintings?"
"I learned it, I learned it a long time ago, and I will tell you slowly when I have a chance." Lin Qingyang could only smile.
Chu Lishu didn't pursue the matter anymore, they still had other things to do, it was time to go to the guard post, I don't know if the person in charge of the blessing performance came in safely.
[Second task set, task 20: Help the male protagonist win the duty of guarding the palace. 】
Although he received three tasks at once, Chu Lishu started paving the way for each task a long time ago. Lin Qingyang also helped a lot and knew the progress of the matter, so he felt that the problem was not big. The butterfly effect brought about by the past plot changes will do.
On the other side, Ning Ziheng was about to go to Zichen Palace to assist in the completion of the palace banquet, but someone happened to come to him.He originally had four confidantes, but three of them died, and the last one in front of him. Even Ning Ziheng had to feel the sadness of his doom, but he still refused to admit defeat and refused to accept his fate.
"Did you find out?" Ning Ziheng always felt that something was wrong when the killers of Xueyuan Pavilion were suddenly hired in large numbers in the past two days.
"Master, my subordinates have found out that there is no problem inside the Xueyuan Pavilion. They are all accepting orders normally, and the targets are different. There seems to be no doubt. It may be a coincidence."
"Coincidence...is it?" Ning Ziheng always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, so he could only say: "Go and watch one of the groups to see if they are really taking the task."
"Yes!" The subordinate led the order to leave.
Ning Ziheng was about to come out from the dark corner, when he suddenly felt someone watching him, he was alert and said, "Who!"
But there was still no movement, Ning Ziheng held the dagger in his hand, and slowly approached the place he suspected. He was keenly observant, and suddenly saw a movement in the reflection of the stone, and immediately flew over to catch the peeping person.
But at the moment of the shot, only a black figure was seen, and he was pressed against the wall in reverse, one hand was grabbed and pressed against the window pane of the wall above, and the other hand was reversely twisted on the waist behind him.
The huge body compacted him, and the completely unfamiliar aura made Ning Ziheng feel dangerous instinctively, and his hairs stood on end. He didn't expect that someone in the court would dare to lay hands on him.
"Who! Courting death!"
The person behind didn't speak, just pressed him down, but the hand holding Ning Ziheng's wrist kept groping, as if trying to tear off the leather strap on his hand.
Ning Ziheng was furious when he discovered this fact, and resisted desperately.
Suddenly, a creepy voice came from the ear, hoarse as if his throat had been broken.
"Strange, are you a woman?"
An eunuch... was asked if it was a woman... and Ning Ziheng also felt that the man who had been pushing behind him was unconsciously humiliating him.
Like a beast in heat, shameless.
Ning Ziheng had never encountered such humiliation since he grew up, his eyes were so fierce that he seemed to bleed.
The man was still muttering to himself, "Strange...why?"
Ning Ziheng wanted to strike with a backhand despite the danger of dislocating his wrist. The hidden weapon hidden in his hand seemed to have cut through his flesh.
But when Ning Ziheng turned to look at it, there was no one there. Although Ning Ziheng had some skills, he was by no means a martial artist.Immediately, he could only become angry from embarrassment, and vowed to find this person.
But when he stepped out of the corner, he suddenly swayed, why... that hoarse voice just now is so similar to... the deep voice that Xiaoci spoke when he was sick and had a fever, it was him... did he remember it?
