Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen Intimidation and Extortion

Long Ying bent down in pain and protested: "Do you want to buy people's lives? Don't forget that I just fought with the fake monk for 300 rounds and was seriously injured." Princess Taiping sat down next to him, she gritted her teeth with hatred and said: "You son of a bitch, you cheated the hall so hard, so you actually practiced the Dao Heart and Demon Planting method, it's the fate of the hall if you don't let the empress die laughing." Then he reached out his hand. He came over to touch the armguard inside his sleeve, and said with a sneer, "I thought you were so powerful, but you can kill the dead monk who is hard to penetrate with your bare hands, so it turns out that you performed the technique secretly."

Long Ying has a big heart, and in the "dark room" of the carriage, next to him is the noble Princess Da Zhou, coquettish and dissolute, letting him talk crazy, romantic and charming, compared to the bloody battle of life and death just now, it looks like two different people. world.He took off the two armguards conveniently, put them close to her small ears, and blew a breath of warm air into it, saying: "Princess Annoyance sent someone to return the armguards to Fat Eunuch." Princess Taiping said angrily: "It's so ticklish! Where did you learn this kind of obscene flirting technique? This hall will not touch the murder weapon that just killed someone. Put it in the back seat, and this hall will deal with it."

Long Ying was very happy, unexpectedly there was a day when she was molested without being slapped, so she moved a little closer, clinging to her fragrant body, while distracting her and said: "The princess doesn't seem to have a good impression of fake monks." Princess Taiping said in a deep voice: "His hands are stained with the blood of my Li Tang family. I don't know how happy you are to kill him. Otherwise, how can you, a pervert, take advantage of you." Long Ying lost his voice: "False pervert?" Princess Taiping said fiercely: "Does the real-colored ghost look like you? The pretty lady, selected by Eunuch Rong, waited for Master Ying to bathe and board the bed, but Master Ying went to the watchtower to blow the wind and receive arrows; Being traumatized, it is not suitable for men and women to have sex with each other, and a majestic decisive battle with fake monks will only take a few hours. Is this called a pervert? It is true to see your big-headed ghost!"

Long Ying stretched out his hand to go around her from behind, gently held her waist, and put his head on the fragrant shoulder, sniffing the fragrance of the hair, and sighed out of nowhere in the world: "The princess doesn't know something, please allow me to report to you." , I don’t know how hard I have endured, I am afraid that the princess will think that I am empathizing with someone else, so that the villain will lose the chance to kiss Princess Xiangze.” Princess Taiping laughed so hard that she panted and said, "You are a first-rate expert on the battlefield, but you are a ninth-rate low hand in love. How dare you mention your first kiss Xiangze again in front of the main hall. Thinking about it, I wish I could kill you .”

Long Ying was puzzled and said, "What's wrong with that sentence?" Princess Taiping said angrily: "What did you say at that time?" Longying thought hard: "What did I say?" Princess Taiping said angrily: "I know that you men, in order to satisfy your own selfishness, talk nonsense, and forget all about it afterwards." Long Ying scratched his head and said: "That night, before I had time to make a pledge of eternal love with the princess, I was kicked out by the princess. Which sentence did I forget that made the princess hate me?" Princess Taiping stared at him for a moment, then said softly: "Longying, you are a very bizarre person. You can become a hero, or you can be like a rascal in the market like now, talking nonsense. Is it the influence of a demon? ?”

Longying said: "Were you in the Bafang Pavilion at that time?" Princess Taiping said: "Except for the Holy Majesty and the fat father-in-law, all the important people in the palace are present, but they are just covering it up! How can you see them? You only care about openly flirting with Duanmu Ling, and your own name Forgot all about it." Long Ying said happily: "The princess was jealous for me, did you lose your temper and cry afterwards?" The princess angrily said: "It's so strange to be jealous, what woman is not jealous, move your hand away, get away, I don't know that my hands are full of blood and sweat."

Long Ying hugged her tightly instead, and said, "Where are we going to play?" The carriage stopped. The princess was still angry and said: "Don't you know how to roll down to see clearly?" She got out of his clutches, got out of the car by herself, and ignored Long Ying who was chasing after her. ※※※ Miyagi is dominated by the Vientiane Shrine, which is located in the center of the front. The original site was the Qianyang Palace of the Sui Dynasty, which was later burned down.Emperor Gaozong built the Qianyuan Hall on the original site, which was extravagant, but Wu Zhao was still dissatisfied, and ordered Xue Huaiyi to supervise the work. Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, the Qianyuan Hall was razed to the ground, tens of thousands of people worked every day, and it took nine months to complete it. Mingtang was renamed Vientiane Shrine again.The unique internal and external structure of the palace was the pinnacle of architectural art at that time, fully reflecting Wu Zhao's extraordinary courage and ambition.

The shrine is three stories high, the ground floor is square, each side is matched with a different color, symbolizing the four seasons, and windows are opened on all sides.The dodecagon in the middle layer is dedicated to the twelve zodiac signs, which symbolize the twelve hours.The upper twenty-four prisms symbolize the twenty-four solar terms.The top of the circular hall is supported by nine cloud dragons, and the center is decorated with a golden phoenix standing proudly, with its front claws stretched towards the Duanmen. It is Wu Zhao's ambition to seize the world. The Vientiane Shrine is 294 feet high and 300 feet wide on each side. It is majestic and majestic.

The back of the shrine rises to the fifth level of heaven, a hundred feet higher than the shrine, with a super giant Buddha statue sandwiched between them.Behind the heaven is Zhenguan Hall, which is Wu Zhao's main bedroom in the palace city.To the west is Wucheng Hall, the hall where Wu Zhao listened to the government and summoned his ministers.Nearby are the Ministry of Education, the History Museum, the Ming Fu Hospital, the Bureau of Internal Medicine, and Shangshi Kitchen, an important department that provides internal sleeping. The beautiful boy group headed by Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong lived in the Jixian Temple to the west of Zhenguan Hall, and then westward to Luocheng Hall, which is a holy place that scholars all over the world look forward to. Here, Wu Zhao personally presides over the palace examination, selects talents, and constructs a new rule. The team has made Da Zhou's politics unprecedentedly stable.

Taoguang Garden, the residence of Princess Taiping, is located in the northeast of Zhenguan Hall. Although there is actually quite a distance between Taoguang Garden and Liqi Pavilion, considering the scale and standards of Miyagi, they can be regarded as neighbors.The place where Longying got off the bus last night was Taoguang Garden, which is famous for its beautiful river and forest. This shows Wu Zhao's favor for the youngest daughter. Princess Taiping went into the palace by herself, leaving Long Ying to be greeted by a group of eunuchs, Gong'e, until she was sent to the palace to sleep, not to mention kissing Princess Xiangze, and there was no chance to glance at her.

Woke up early this morning, with the sound of rain, and Tao Guangyuan in the heavy rain had a special taste.Gong'e came to wake him up, washed and changed his clothes, and waited attentively. When he thought he was "expelled" from Tao Guangyuan, Princess Taiping sent someone to invite him to Wanghexuan for breakfast. Overjoyed, Long Ying followed the eunuch to Wanghexuan, and Princess Taiping sat outside the pavilion without makeup, gazing at the rain-blurred river forest. Long Ying sat on the side of the table full of small dishes, seeing her silently worried, as if she had lost interest in talking, she didn't dare to provoke her, and ate and drank alone. Although she did not apply makeup and was depressed, Princess Taiping was still so bright and charming, she lost three points of beauty and added a little more delicateness. Princess Taiping finally spoke, and said calmly, "Did you sleep well last night?" Long Ying really wanted to say how he could sleep well without a princess, but fortunately he knew that in this kind of atmosphere it is absolutely inappropriate to say such words, so as not to add fuel to the flames, he changed his words: "Princess Qi, the villain slept quite well." Princess Taiping was expressionless at first, then smiled sweetly as if she couldn't help laughing, glanced at him, and cast her eyes back on the vast front of the rain, shook her head and said: "Last night, I pretended to be angry, just to tease you, but later I received a message, It makes people feel bad, it's not intentional to neglect you." Long Ying immediately declared that she was in a good mood, so that was the case, especially since she claimed to be someone else and brought the relationship between the two of them closer, and asked, "Why is the princess upset?" Princess Taiping seemed to have lost the strength to speak, she sighed and did not answer him. Long Ying stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him, but what he thought of was "encountering" the extremely attractive Princess Da Zhou from the stone house in the barren valley, and he was always very talkative towards her.Why is this so?Knowing his own affairs, when he meets the beauty he likes, he seems to become another person, even facing the pious Duanmu Ling, and in front of the public, he still can't hold back.Could it be that before being escorted out of the hut, he had never had the opportunity to meet women, but he had read a lot of banned books, and everything could only be done in his imagination, so that he developed an unscrupulous style of beauties? As for whether this is the case, only God knows. Princess Taiping's voice entered the ear: "What are you thinking?" Long Ying's heart moved, and he said: "I feel familiar with the princess's expression now, can you let me guess what the princess is thinking, if I guess correctly, the princess will give me a sweet kiss." Princess Taiping smiled wryly and said: "I really don't know if you are smart or a fool. How can I get the mood to kiss you? Even if you guessed it right, I am just perfunctory. Is there any fun for Master Ying? I was so tired of thinking last night. , I can't get excited about everything now." Longying smiled and said: "Then kiss afterwards!" Princess Taiping was surprised and said, "You really guessed it?" Long Ying tentatively said: "It's either related to your third brother or fourth brother, right?" Gaozong had eight sons, four of whom were born by Wu Zhao, and Wu Zhao arranged the order of the four sons born by himself, so Li Xian and Li Dan, who were ranked last, changed from the seventh and eighth princes to the third and fourth. . Princess Taiping sat up straight and looked at him with beautiful eyes. Long Ying said: "This matter can be taken care of by me, and I promise to solve it properly. Your mother emperor will have no excuse to punish the princess' brother." Princess Taiping said in a deep voice: "The matter is not as simple as you imagined. Someone in the judge's court last night recognized that the big iron bow that assassinated you belonged to the third emperor's brother, and immediately reported it to Wu Chengsi, that bastard. It is estimated that he will report it in the morning today. The Queen Mother, and instigated his treacherous party to encourage the Queen Mother to punish the three emperor brothers for the crime of treason. At this moment when the succession of the emperor's heir is in the limelight, the most feared thing is that the Queen Mother will follow the trend, then..." Long Ying conveniently took another pastry and stuffed it into his mouth. He stood up and said vaguely: "When will the morning court be held? Where is it?" Princess Taiping worried: "There is still half an hour before the morning court, in Wucheng Hall, do you know what you are doing?" Long Ying said happily: "Of course it is clear. Wu Chengsi should have not gone out yet, where does this bastard live?" Princess Taiping thought that things couldn't be worse, and if this guy ran around, maybe there might be a turnaround, she sighed: "His palace is not far from here, the Liubei Palace in the southeast, the rain is so heavy, I use a carriage Send you there! Remember not to hit people with your hands." ※※※ Princess Taiping gave thousands of instructions, Long Ying stepped out of the carriage, braved the rain and went straight to the Liubei Hall, reported his name, the guard at the door obviously knew who he was, invited him to sit down in the sedan chair hall, and someone else flew in. report. After a while, a man with the appearance of a soldier came out with a bad expression, and said in a deep voice: "The young general asked the King of Wei for instructions, and the King of Wei said that he has nothing to do with Longying and you, and he doesn't want to make friends with you, and he has important matters to deal with." , get out immediately. This is what the King of Wei said just now, and ordered the young general to pass it on to Master Ying without changing it.” Long Ying laughed dumbly and said: "Please trouble brother, send the message to King Wei again for me, and you must not change a single word." Bingtou, who still did not reveal his identity and name, said: "This young general Shu is hard to follow." Long Ying said: "If you refuse to spread the word, it's not me but your master who beheaded you. Tell him three words, that is Chu Yuantian, the big iron bow and the real evidence." Then the demonic light in his eyes became brighter, he stared at the soldier guard fiercely, and shouted: "Why don't you get out and report to King Wei?" The soldier trembled all over when he saw it, and hurried away as if hypnotized. ※※※ The battle that Wu Chengsi put out to meet Longying really frightened many people. He was sitting on the nine-level jade steps at the north end of the magnificent hall. At a young age, he also deliberately drew his eyebrows thick to conceal his pale face caused by excessive drinking, and his eyes shot out a sinister and fierce look. There were 20 to 30 people standing on each side, and many of them knew they were masters at a glance, including Chu Yuantian who stood in the first place. Zhang Jiafu, who assisted in Bafang Pavilion last night, was opposite Chu Yuantian.Everyone was murderous, with unfriendly expressions, staring at Long Ying who was standing ten steps away from the steps. Wu Chengsi stared at the uninvited visitor, his eyes flickered mockingly, and gestured, Zhang Jiafu, the chief on his right, spoke for him: "Wei Wang still has to catch up with the morning court, Mr. Long, to make a long story short, don't waste Wei Wang's precious time." Long Ying knew that if what he said was not threatening to him, he would immediately walk away to ridicule himself, and calmly said: "Wei Wangcuo was recognized by Long Mou that night before Chu Yuantian appeared in Long Mou's eyes. The foolish assassin who shot an arrow at Long Mou in Shenchi..." Chu Yuantian interrupted him sharply: "Longying, don't you want to spew blood, what evidence do you have?" Wu Chengsi's eyes flickered with surprise and uncertainty, which further confirmed what Long Ying was thinking, that is, this son knew about the magic cultivation method, and also knew Wu Zhao's determination to obtain the secret scroll at all costs, so he killed Long Ying in the hope that Wu Zhao would In a rage, he executed Luling King Li Xian. Long Ying said proudly: "I have a set of exercises. No matter how the other party covers his head and face, I will never forget it once I saw it. Your Majesty knows that I have this set of exercises. As long as I say it, she will believe it. I don't believe it." If you don’t, I’ll pack up and go back to the countryside to farm, and if you kill me, you won’t be a state guest. Ha! The King of Wei should know better than anyone else that if I was forced to leave indirectly by the King of Wei, the life of the King of Wei will not be easy in the future.” Wu Chengsi said angrily: "How dare you! How dare you speak out loud and threaten this king, what crime should you deserve!" Long Ying laughed and said: "At most it's just the crime of bullying the king, but your brother committed the crime of bullying the king. If you are not convinced, we will go to the morning court together immediately and put it out for the holy majesty and all the ministers and ministers to handle it impartially. See Let's see who is more guilty." Wu Chengsi's expression finally changed. The masters on both sides were eager to move, only waiting for an order from Wu Chengsi. Long Ying calmed down and said: "Everyone seems to have forgotten what the Holy Majesty said last night. Who dares to cause trouble to our guests because of Xue Huaiyi, and will kill without pardon and punish the whole family." Zhang Jiafu said in a deep voice: "How can the present matter have anything to do with Xue Huaiyi?" Long Ying's eyes were full of demonic energy, staring at Wu Chengsi and said: "Of course it has something to do with it. I came here this time to do two things, one of which is to collect a bad debt, and Assassin Chu is to pay back the money I owe , One is to follow me to see the Holy Majesty, let the Holy Majesty uphold justice for me, this matter cannot be turned down, because there are at least hundreds of witnesses." Wu Chengsi was intimidated by his eyes, and also had a ghost in his heart, unable to force himself, he said: "What is the other thing?" Long Ying said: "The other thing is to ask for a cover-up fee, plus ten taels of gold, and give it to Lao Tzu. However, there is a time limit for the cover-up fee. Anyone who dares to mention the assassination again, I will pay the cover-up fee." Report the matter to the Holy Majesty." Chu Yuantian said with fiery eyes: "Long Ying, you are really deceiving people too much. You dare to offend and slander the king of Wei. You have committed a capital crime. As long as you are killed on the spot, and then you are punished for attacking the king of Wei, it is no wonder that even the emperor blames Wei." King." After speaking, he looked at Wu Chengsi and asked him to give an order. Wu Chengsi turned his eyes wildly, hesitating and unable to make a decision. Long Ying said happily: "Brother Chu turned out to be a man of courage and intrepidity. King Wei misused you, otherwise he wouldn't have lost ten taels of gold in one bet. If I am Xue Huaiyi, if the siege of the crowd can work, he will soon If you die, how could you come to the imperial city alive last night to embarrass yourself. And you idiot don't know how to figure out the master's intentions. If you openly kill me, there will be no consequences. Wei Wang has already done so." Then he yelled at Wu Chengsi: "My time is really precious. In a word, twenty taels of gold, should I give it or not? I will turn around and go to see the Holy One, and I will bear the consequences." Wu Chengsi's face was as ugly as it could be. ※※※ The whole process of Longying meeting Wu Chengsi was vividly told to Princess Taiping in detail in the carriage with salt and vinegar. She laughed so hard that the beauty leaned back and forth, swaying and charming. It is no wonder that Longying hugged her waist tightly after boarding the carriage . The princess smiled and said: "You are really not a human being. It is not easy to take ten taels of gold, and you have to extort more taels of gold. You are greedy." Long Ying said with a smile: "Greed is indeed greed, but it is a matter of great importance. Wu Chengsi is willing to pay a cover-up fee. If he acquiesces in planning the assassination, not only will he not dare to mention it again in the future, but he will also have to judge the matter." people shut up." The princess said: "Starting from today, Wu Chengsi will do everything possible to put you to death. Alas! I really hope that he will do this, so that this traitor can experience the power of the evil emperor." Long Ying took a sip on her face and said, "Is the princess in a mood now?" The princess said: "Don't be so impatient. It's not difficult to get this palace. I have hired a consort twice. When it comes to matters between men and women, I always go my own way and ignore other people's opinions. The Holy Majesty never cares about my affairs. But such a life I am not happy, and sometimes I really don’t know how to make myself happy. But facing you, a pervert, I can indeed put aside my troubles. I will go to inquire about the situation in the morning court first, and after you finish the work of the Holy One, the hall will come here to meet you You go to eat, drink and have fun." Thinking of Renya, Longying said in a low voice, "Not tonight!" The princess angrily said, "What?" When the carriage arrived outside the imperial study, Long Ying said, "See you tomorrow, get out of the carriage before she loses her temper."
