Yin Chengyu staggered his eyes and avoided his gaze.

In his previous life, he always felt that Xue Shu's eyes were too deep and heavy, with too many unclear emotions in them. Every time he looked at him, it was as if he owed him eight lifetime debts that he had not repaid, which was unpleasant.

Nowadays, Xue Shu's eyes are much more straightforward when he looks at people. There is not so much deep emotion in his eyes. He is almost naked and writes: Want a reward.

It's nice to ask for reward for such a small thing.

Yin Chengyu snorted coldly in his heart, deliberately stopped looking at him, and shifted his gaze to the group of people rushing behind him.

——That Taoist Wangchen finally arrived.

He was wearing a cassock and holding a mahogany sword, looking somewhat like a Taoist master.

"Where is the demon fox? Pindao has come to collect it——"

He stopped abruptly mid-sentence, and stared at the corpse of the demon fox with a dumbfounded expression, which was not very dignified, but rather funny.

Yin Chengyu glanced at him, then glanced at the ugly Yin Chengjing in the crowd, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Before everyone could react, the cold expression on his face changed instantly. With a worried look on his face, he quickly stepped forward to help Emperor Longfeng who had fallen to the ground. He looked at the silent Taoist Wangchen and said in a gentle tone: "The demon fox has already

If you want to punish me, you don’t have to trouble the Taoist priest." He said and looked at Gao Xian aside: "Trouble Eunuch Gao to send the chariot. Commander Gong, you can send people to search the surroundings carefully. I think this matter is probably someone secretly doing it.

If you cause trouble, don't let the thieves who cause trouble escape..."

He made arrangements step by step, stayed calm in the face of danger, and showed his filial piety well, and the others slowly came to their senses.

The royal guards immediately dispersed to search for suspicious people; the courtiers did not bother to tidy up their clothes and rushed to surround him, showing concern for Emperor Longfeng's body and expressing their loyalty.

Emperor Longfeng, who was surrounded by everyone, looked ugly.

He was almost attacked and lost such a huge person in public. Even though he was feeling frightened and panicked at the moment, he was unwilling to leave just like that. He always wanted to regain some face.

"Did that demon fox be killed?" Emperor Longfeng assumed the posture of a king of a country and took two steps forward to kick the beast. When he came closer, he saw blood all over the ground, and he hesitated to stop and looked half a step away.

With.

"Back to Your Majesty, that beast is dead."

It wasn't until Xue Shu replied that everyone's eyes focused on him again.

Emperor Longfeng also looked at him and when he saw his clothes, he asked casually: "Are you from Dongchang? This time you killed the demon fox and rescued him, so you should be rewarded."

Gao Yuan, the admiral of the East Factory, was overjoyed when he heard this and was about to step forward to claim credit when he heard Xue Shu reply, neither humble nor arrogant: "I am on duty in the West Factory, and it is my duty to protect His Majesty. I dare not ask for credit." After speaking, he paused.

, there seemed to be hesitation in his expression: "And... that's not a demon fox, it's just a wild wolf."

The smile on Gao Yuan's face stopped, and when he saw Xue Shu covered in blood, his heart suddenly shuddered.

The West Factory has been suppressed by the East Factory for a long time, and all the good prospects are picked up by the East Factory. When did the West Factory have such a number one figure?

"Wolf?"

Emperor Longfeng's expression suddenly became very exciting, and he looked at the corpse on the ground with doubt.

The beast is not only much larger than an ordinary fox, but even larger than a wild wolf. It also looks very strange, with its glaring eyes blood red, and its long canine teeth exposed outside its lips, making it look very ferocious.

Judging from the appearance and body shape, it does not look like a fox.

But it doesn't look like a wolf.

Only the legendary demon fox could grow into such a terrifying appearance.

"The green light on this demon fox has dissipated." Yin Chengyu took a step forward in time, squatted down and touched the body. When he saw the red color on his fingers, he immediately smiled. He spread his palm out for everyone to see: "

The red color is dyed in."

All he could see was that his palms were covered in mottled red dye.

Yin Chengyu got closer and smelled it, and said with certainty: "It's ocher. As for the red mist and green will-o'-the-wisp before, I have seen similar ones in the market."

"How dare Xiao Xiao dare to play tricks in the palace!" Emperor Longfeng was furious when he heard this, and his gloomy eyes glared at the commander of the Jinyi Guards Gong Hongfei: "Are the Imperial Guards all trash?! And they didn't even notice at all?!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Unexpectedly, the anger suddenly burned into him. Gong Hongfei secretly cried out and immediately bowed his head and confessed.

Who would have thought that someone would be so audacious as to play tricks in the forbidden palace?

"Father, calm down. Commander Gong is probably not to blame for this." Yin Chengyu wiped his fingers slowly and poured a bucket of oil on the fire: "I heard that when the emperor was still alive, there was a traitor who took advantage of this juggling act.

He used a blind method to enter the palace and assassinate him. Is the person who is planning this evil fox incident... a remnant of the thieves from the Xiaozong period?"

His face was full of worry: "Who would have thought that after so many years, these traitors are still not dead."

Emperor Xiaozong was the grandfather of Yin Chengyu and the father of Emperor Longfeng.

During his reign, he was debauched and brutal, and not only the courtiers suffered, but the people also suffered for a long time. At that time, some civil servants disguised themselves as jugglers and sneaked into the palace to assassinate him.

This assassination naturally failed to frighten the violent Emperor Xiaozong, but bringing it up at this moment was enough to become a thorn in the heart of Emperor Longfeng.

During Xiaozong's reign, he encountered hundreds of assassinations, large and small. The government called these assassins traitors and traitors, but the people called them loyal men. Not only did they pay homage secretly, but there were also people who came to join them. Until later.

Emperor Xiaozong died and Emperor Longfeng succeeded to the throne. He followed Yu Huai'an's advice and adopted policies to appease the people, which restored the reputation of the royal family and calmed down the unrest among the people.

Now that Yin Chengyu is deliberately bringing up old things and luring the perpetrators to the remnants of Xiaozong, the timid Emperor Longfeng will never let this matter go by lightly.

He lowered his eyes, his thick dark eyelashes blocking the dark light under his eyes, carefully wiped off the last red mark on his fingertips, and threw the handkerchief to the little eunuch waiting beside him.

When Emperor Longfeng heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face: "Check! The person behind the scenes must be found out!"

His eyes swept over Gong Hongfei and Gao Yuan, and finally fell on Xue Shu, as if weighing.

"Leave this matter to Xichang, just you! Go and investigate!" Finally, he nodded to Xue Shu: "I will give you ten days to return to me with the head of the thief."

Xue Shu knelt down to receive the order.

Gong Hongfei and Gao Yuan looked ugly, but they didn't dare to get into trouble at this time.

Something happened in the palace, but His Majesty did not hand it over to the Jinyi Guards or the East Factory, but instead handed it over to the unknown people in the West Factory. What this means is self-evident.

At least at this moment, the emperor no longer trusts them.

Emperor Longfeng had finished getting angry and felt weak all over, so he stopped staying and got on the chariot and drove back to Qianqing Palace.

The beautiful New Year's Eve banquet was turned into a mess, and the courtiers who attended the banquet dispersed with their hearts hanging.

As the prince, Yin Chengyu stayed until the end before leaving.

It was a farce. It was already past midnight, and snow began to fall in the sky again. Yin Chengyu felt a little afraid of the cold and gathered up the skirt of his cloak.

Seeing this, Zheng Duobao stepped forward to block the wind for him, and said worriedly: "Your Highness, do you want to take shelter here from the wind and snow? I will go and send the chariot."

"There are only a few steps left." Yin Chengyu exhaled and shook his head.

Huangji Palace is not far from Ciqing Palace. They took a small path and went through the middle left gate, and it only took half a quarter of an hour to get there.

The wind and snow got heavier and heavier, and Yin Chengyu couldn't help but speed up his pace. When he was about to approach the middle left door, he saw a vague figure standing by the door.

Zheng Duobao was startled, fearing that he might have bumped into the fleeing assassin, so he and his guards quickly protected Yin Chengyu behind him, and said sharply: "Who's in front of you?"

The other party didn't answer. He was about to ask Zhao Lin to go forward and check, but he heard Yin Chengyu behind him say: "Please step back, we are not assassins."

He took a step forward and looked at the man through the wind and snow: "Xue Shu, if you don't go back to treat your injury, what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, his tone became unhappy again.

Hearing him call his name, Xue Shu moved, walked up to him in two steps, and called out "Your Highness" in a low voice.

The blood on his face has not been wiped clean, and the wound on his left arm has not been treated. The whole person looks miserable, but a pair of dark eyes are shining, which makes people think of a lone wolf hunting at night, so he adds a few more

Indescribable courage.

Yin Chengyu glanced at his injuries and frowned: "What's the matter?"

"I have done everything His Highness said." He looked at Yin Chengyu steadily and licked his dry lips, his intention clearly written on his face.

Yin Chengyu had never been chased for a reward by anyone, especially this person was Xue Shu.

This suddenly gave him a sense of absurdity.

Who is Xue Shu?

He has hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops at his disposal, has eyes and ears all over the world, and has a position of power and power that no one can match. Even the king of a country must submit to him.

People like him always get what they want by themselves.

Power, status, even him.

However, now, nine thousand years in the future, he has been waiting in front of the Zhongzuo Gate for an unknown amount of time in the wind and snow, just to ask for a reward from him.

This knowledge greatly pleased Yin Chengyu, and even his eyebrows became gentle.

"You did a good job this time. What reward do you want? I will try my best to satisfy you."

"I don't want to be in Xichang, I want to come and serve His Highness." Xue Shu looked straight at Yin Chengyu without any hesitation, and his eyes were full of desire.

Although it has nothing to do with love or desire, it is still annoying.

This arrogant and ambitious man really cannot be treated well!

Yin Chengyu frowned coldly, brushed his sleeves and passed by him, his angry voice blurred by the wind and snow: "No!"

I will just stay in the West Factory and serve him for the rest of my life!

Yin Chengyu's figure quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
