has become a demon

Chapter 66

In the capital, Shen Zhu private house.

Duan Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was pacing back and forth in the guest room. The bowl of tea brought by the servants on the small table next to him was already cold, but Shen Zhu still did not appear.

After a while, the sky was already getting dark, and only then did I hear footsteps coming from the back hall.Duan Zhi stopped and looked behind the screen, and soon, Shen Zhu came from the back hall.

"Sir Duan."

Shen Zhu was only wearing the broad avenue gown at home today, not the headgear, his hair was tied up and fixed with a net towel.The usual chilling spirit was lost, and there were two more slack.

He had just opened his mouth when Duan Zhi had already stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Shen, save me!"

Shen Zhu looked at him quietly.

Duan Zhi was anxious, took another step forward, and bowed to the bottom: "I beg Master Shen to save me."

Shen Zhu took two steps slowly, sat down on the main seat, asked someone to change the cold tea, and then asked: "Zai Otsuka is a collaborator of the imperial court, and Shen is just the guard of Jinyi of the Governor, I don't know What is it that needs Zai Otsuka to come to my house for help?"

"Master Shen asked the question knowingly."

"I sincerely ask."

Duan Zhi thought for a moment, then said, "Your Excellency should know about Han Chuanjun's defeat at the old Kaiping North Mountain."

Shen Zhu picked up the tea and glanced at the tea foam: "Five days ago, the military situation of six hundred miles entered Beijing, and the cabinet cooperated with the Ministry of War to submit it to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. How could you not know."

Duan Zhi smiled bitterly: "Since your lord knows this, how could he not know that after Han Chuanjun's death, the vanguard troops were defeated, Tian Yunen was captured, and Duan Baozhai's enemy is now taking the initiative to surrender to the enemy."

"It's clear in the military situation. Master Duan is worried about Duan Jiaerlang?"

"I'm worried about what this beast is doing!" Duan Zhi said, "He surrendered in front of the battle and committed a serious crime against military law. I wish I had never been born with such an evil animal. Such disloyalty and filial piety, no father or king disciple, not my child."

Having said that, Duan Zhi cupped his fists again.

"Duan Baozhai's pre-delivery matter must implicate my Duan family according to the law, but thousands of people in my Duan family will suffer for this beast. After thinking about it, I can only ask Mr. Shen to show mercy and find a way. I beg Master Shen to save me!"

"That's exactly what I'm confused about. I'm just the governor of Beizhen, and I only deal with prisons. There's nothing else I can do. If I really want to save my life, I should go to the Li Supervisor to find Shu Zhangyin."

"My lord, don't you know? Since the incident in Ningxia, the emperor's attitude towards the ancestor Shu Liang has been ambiguous, with a sense of resentment. The recent defeat of Han Chuan's army and the loss of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, this sulkiness has nowhere to vent. Shu Liang's head. I asked Shu's palm print to beg the emperor for mercy. Didn't I just hit the gun?" After Duan Zhi said this, he smiled and said cautiously, "I heard that Mr. Shen and the palm of Yangxin Palace Hello, Mr. Shuanglin from the palace..."

At this point in his words, Shen Zhu raised his head and looked at him coldly, and said indifferently: "My lord is well informed."

Duan Zhi smiled and continued: "Eunuch Shuanglin is Yan Dalong's godson again. Now the emperor relies heavily on Yan's palm seal and asks the outsider to open the door. I'm afraid that only Yan's palm seal can convince the emperor. So I ask Mr. Shen to help me A few words of kindness to close this relationship."

Duan Zhi took out a small kit from his arms, put his hands on the small table, and made a soft "click".

"This is a thank you gift in advance. If my Duan family can avoid this catastrophe, there will be great thanks in the future. Of course, I have also prepared the seal of strict palm and the generous gift from Shuanglin Gonggong. I will definitely live up to expectations."

Shen Zhu just picked up the tea bowl and skimmed the tea, and didn't say anything more.

Knowing that the goal has been achieved, Duan Zhi clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll go home and wait for the good news. I'll take my leave."

After the servant sent Duan Zhi away, Shen Zhu put down his teacup, picked up the kit at hand, unwrapped the string, and poured out a huge Dongzhu.

The beads are radiant and colorful, and there is no flaw in the whole body. Rolling in the palm of Shen Zhu, it makes people feel heavy.

Shen Zhu stood up holding the beads, turned around and entered the inner courtyard from the back hall.

He walked through the corridor until a remote courtyard appeared in front of him, he pushed the door open, and the exquisite and small garden looked familiar—it was the courtyard where the emperor's grandson Zhao Jun was placed during Yan Dalong's secret visit before.

In the dormitory inside, the door of the room was ajar, Shen Zhu pushed the door open, and there were layers of gauze curtains.

There was someone lying on the bed behind the gauze curtain, who couldn't see clearly. When Shen Zhu opened the curtain and walked in slowly, the person lying on the bed seemed to have just been awakened and moved a little.

One person was wiping the arm of Emperor Grandson Zhao Jun who was lying on the bed. When he saw him coming back, he half-kneeled beside the bed and looked up at him: "Your Excellency is back."

The man half propped up his body, but it was Yan Shuanglin.

At this time, if anyone came to see him, he could not see Lin Fengan's appearance at all. Compared with Yeling, his figure has been pulled up like a stick, his legs are slender, and he is less youthful. The chaos made his mind grow rapidly. After walking in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for several months, he became less green and more determined.

Looking at his profile in this way, Shen Zhu even felt that Zhao Yuan, who had gone through hardships after being in trouble, might have such a demeanor.

Servants follow their masters.

About right.

"In the past two months, I have secretly visited many famous doctors and found a lot of medicinal materials. The emperor and grandson have not improved." Shen Zhu said.

Yan Shuanglin nodded, and tucked the brocade quilt in the coma of Zhao Jun's shoulders again, then stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Shen Zhu didn't know what he was thanking.

Although he never killed the prince with his own hands, he also insulted the prince's body and was an accomplice to the execution.

This kind of gratitude is especially harsh.

He then said, "A letter came from Jinbaozhai. Do you want to read it?"

Yan Shuanglin raised his head, his eyes revealed eagerness: "Yes, it's the county king... No, news from the prince?"

"It's Zhao Yuan's personal letter."

Yan Shuanglin's eyes were red: "If you want to see it, I beg you to show me."

Shen Zhu looked at his red eyes, felt a little glaring, raised his chin, forced his tears back into his eyes, and said: "From now on, you are not allowed to call yourself a slave in front of me."

Yan Shuanglin nodded slightly.

"Let's go, change a room."

The two of them left the courtyard and entered Shen Zhu's main courtyard. The room inside was poorly furnished and it was Shen Zhu's living place.

Shen Zhu took out a box from the desk drawer, unlocked the exquisite lock on the box, took out a letter from it, and handed it to Yan Shuanglin.

Yan Shuanglin had been staring at his hand all the time, and now as soon as he moved, he hurried forward and took the letter in his hand tremblingly, opened it after a long while, and took out a few pieces of letterhead from inside.

He no longer cared about Shen Zhu's scrutiny, and concentrated on reading the letter. The elegant cursive script on the letter was exactly Zhao Yuan's handwriting.

——Bong'an Qinglan, seeing words is like meeting.

Yan Shuanglin's eyes were already blurred when he saw these eight words. He unfolded the letter paper under the window and read each word carefully, for fear of missing even the slightest meaning.

Zhao Yuan became king, Yinshan remarried, Guihua City met the third lady, Han Chuanjun led the army to attack, Yinshan decided to go with his sword in the heavy rain and put all his eggs in one basket. Yan Shuanglin cried and laughed while watching it.

When he finally saw Han Chuanjun's dog's head fall to the ground, he couldn't help putting down the letter any longer and wept bitterly.

"I know that you have a deep friendship with Zhao Yuan's master and servant, but I don't know that you have such a deep friendship with the Zhao family."

Yan Shuanglin wiped his tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a prisoner of Annan, and I should have been sent to the palace. If the old Su King hadn't shown mercy to me, there would be no Lin Feng'an later. Although Zhao Yuan treated me like a master and servant, he was like a brother." ...The kindness of saving my life will never be forgotten. The heavens have eyes for Han Chuanjun’s death. The prince’s vengeance has been avenged, so I naturally cry for it.”

At this time, he was standing under the window, the sun slanting from the sky to the west entered the room, and the hazy golden-red afterglow outlined his figure. Standing with tears in the light, he looked extraordinarily charming.

Shen Zhu involuntarily raised his hands to rub his teary cheeks.

Yan Shuanglin did not evade, he was even obedient, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Master Shen for taking the risk to win the letter from Jinbaozhai."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhu lowered his head and kissed his cheek.

The kiss fell.

This is an exchange.

The safety of the emperor's grandson, communications with distant places, and even news from the court... It seems that it is a good deal to exchange his mutilated body.

Yan Shuanglin didn't know whether the moisture came from Shen Zhu's lips or his own tears, he closed his eyes, hooked Shen Zhu's neck, and let Shen Zhu do whatever he wanted...

The atmosphere in the room gradually became more beautiful.

Yan Shuanglin had already been pressed on Shen Zhu's cold and hard bed, and soon the clothes on his body left. Although it was already the beginning of summer, for some reason, the room was not much warmer.

Subconsciously, Yan Shuanglin hugged his shoulders and huddled into a ball to keep warm, but his limbs were soon pulled away, and then he fell into a scorching hot embrace.

Then came the same hot and passionate kiss.

So he got hot too.

More kisses, tighter hugs.

In the steaming heat, he could only let Shen Zhu lead him up and down in a daze.The only thing he can do is to hug Shen Zhu's neck and swim with him in the hot water.

Take what he has to offer.

Probably his pitiful appearance today provoked Shen Zhu, Master Shen became ruthless and bullied him vigorously, making him panting and begging all the time.

"My lord, I, I can't do it anymore, I can't take it anymore..."

He made Shen Zhu toss and toss softly like water, and he said all kinds of good things.

In the end, Shen Zhu finally mercifully went around him this time, and when he hugged him to clean, a kit fell out of his clothes, and when he opened it, it was a huge oriental bead.

"Duan Zhi begged me to send it to you." Shen Zhu said, "I said I wanted to ask you to say something nice in front of Yan Dalong. You can keep it..."

After saying this, he slowly...submerged the Dongzhu into...

Yan Shuanglin trembled slightly in his arms, but did not resist, and accepted it docilely, breathing quickly for a long time before suppressing the blush on his face.

Shen Zhu smiled, and found a piece of clothing to cover his shoulders again - there were still traces left by the love just now.

"Why is Duan Zhi looking for an adult?" Yan Shuanglin asked him.

"As you expected, I want to ask Yan Dalong to help him intercede with the emperor."

"Why didn't he find Shu Liang?"

Shen Zhu lightly sniffed his hair: "You know better than me, don't you?"

It was finally dark outside, Yan Shuanglin looked at the light, then got down from Shen Zhu's arms, put on some clothes, and wrote a reply letter with a pen.

"My lord, please turn around and hand it over to Jin Baozhai."

"Okay." Shen Zhu answered him, "So, keep the bead and get it when you go back."

Yan Shuanglin blushed, bowed his head and agreed that it was okay, then lowered his head and put on his shirt.

The charming atmosphere dissipated little by little.

Shen Zhu watched him get dressed.

Finally put on the Taoist robe, Yan Shuanglin tied the palace sash, then turned to Shen Zhu who was on the bed and said, "Shu Liang has already had a rift with His Majesty, but now that Han Chuan's army has been wiped out, the emperor has little weight to value Shu Liang." One. Now that even foreign ministers are keenly aware of this, isn't Mr. Shen worried?"

"Worried? Why don't you tell me why I'm worried?"

"Master Shen is Shu Liang's trusted confidant, and he has won Shu Liang's trust. Shu Liang's momentum in the palace is gradually weakening, and the situation of your lord may not be very good."

Shen Zhu was silent for a while.

Until Yan Shuanglin finally tidied up his clothes.

Yan Shuanglin thought he would not answer again, so he said, "My lord, I'm leaving."

Shen Zhu suddenly got up from the bed, walked up to him, picked up the cloak and put it on his shoulders: "Although it is Lixia, it is still cold and dew heavy."

Yan Shuanglin was startled: "Thank you."

"Since you know that I am Shu Liang's confidant, you have to understand that it doesn't help whether I worry or not. Shu Liang and I are like grasshoppers on the same rope. When we are prosperous, we are prosperous and when we are lost, we are ruined. There is no escape. After Shen Zhu said this, he took a step back, "You go, I won't see you off."

Yan Shuanglin dragged his cloak and walked a few steps, then turned to look at Shen Zhu standing under the eaves.

There are no lights in the courtyard.

The light dimmed.

Dusk staggers, the moment of magic.

"Do you regret it?" He asked suddenly.

"what?"

"Shen Zhu, do you regret it?" Yan Shuanglin asked him, "Now King Su is ready to calm down. If the peace is solved, he will be the new emperor. But you follow Shu Liang, a rotten log that is about to sink. Do you think of this?" Do you have any regrets?"

Shen Zhu stood with his hands behind his back, stared at him for a while, and suddenly smiled: "There are countless choices in life, and there are countless people I meet. I could only make that choice at that time, so there is nothing to regret. Do I have to go back to the past? , can’t you be harsh on yourself?”

"Really? Do you really think so?" Yan Shuanglin asked again.

This time Shen Zhu didn't answer, he stepped back into the shadows, and could no longer see his face clearly.

Yan Shuanglin stood in the courtyard for a while, it was silent, the sky darkened, and a servant came in to light the lamp, so he continued to chat without changing.

Shuanglin covered her face with a veil.

"I'm leaving, take care of yourself." After saying this, he left gracefully.

The lanterns floated back and forth in the breeze, hitting each other with a slight bamboo clang.

Shen Zhu looked up at the lights...

Will you regret it?

he asked himself.

It's just that today, fate can't see the future, such a question is meaningless.

In Chilechuan, countless tents have been set up on the grassland outside Yulin City.

King Su's army arrived here a day ago.

The third lady prepared food and grass, signed a covenant, and waited for Zhao Yuan here.

Once the covenant was signed, he dragged Kan Yufeng to his camp, leaving behind a lot of shouting and clamoring.

Zhao Yuan had already received a letter from the capital early in the morning.

It was delivered by Xiao Jiang herself.

"I heard that the other party entrusted you to ask the prince to personally open it."

Zhao Yuan took it over, saw the word Lin on the letter, and was overjoyed: "It's a letter from Feng An."

Then Xiao Jiang handed him the second document.

"Here are some information about the 'Infinite Magic Art' and Qingxing Pavilion that Eunuch Shuanglin investigated before." Xiao Jiang said, "Please read it personally."
