Chapter 10 White Candle

After the great achievement has been accomplished, Lin Yun invites all friends to spend some time in Huamanlou.Han Shui declined and said: "I have to splash blood on people's heads on the first day of the new year. I really don't have the appetite." After working together for more than three months, the tacit understanding has just been established, and the words are casual. Sudden benevolence?"

Han Shui pointed to the four subordinates behind him: "The shadow guards have never been involved in alcohol and meat, and they are not close to women. If I go with you to Huamanlou, who will celebrate with them?" Lin Yun shook his fan briskly: "Vegetarian Qinghuan It's not hard to find, just go to the Nanfeng Hall in the south of the city." From the name, I knew it was a place for men's pleasure, so I went there, and there were a few other friends of Lin Yun who were in court.

In the ostentatious place, moths and butterflies fly into the sea of ​​red lights, and the vegetarian food is covered with oil and half spicy. After using the banquet salary, the father in the restaurant smiled and said: "Nowadays there is a 'dark fragrance holding candle', and some officials are here to invite you."

There is no bright light in the dark room, and there is a faint fragrance, but there are a few soft figures shooting out from behind the water-red screen, floating like flowing waves.Lin Yun came here once or twice, and went first with his friends to have fun.But the four shadow guards looked forward and backward, still kept in the dark, reluctant to leave.Han Shui walked between the two groups of people.

Turning around a few screens and walking along the scent, I suddenly saw a row of handsome teenagers holding candles standing beside the wall. The colorful gauze on their bodies was as thin as a cicada's wing, revealing the scenery inside.When Han Shui approached, the first boy held up a candle and asked, "Master, choose red or white?"

Han Shui said: "What does red mean? What does white mean?" The young man replied, "Red oil is warm and white oil is hot. If I want to see flowers bloom, I choose red candles; if I want to listen to singing, I choose white candles." The first eight characters are answers, and the last two sentences are flattery. Han Shui frowned: "Red candles are rewards, white candles are punishments, right?" The young man trembled and nodded weakly.The light and shadow swayed, and Han Shui let out a miserable laugh...

Those who are rewarded with candles in the dark room must be burnt with candle oil dripping in the flower hall, as a benevolent object, which is called "Four Seasons Blossoms".Lin Yun and others went out first and waited in the flower hall. They had already drank a cup of tea.Dad came in and said with a wry smile: "Master Han has such a temper." Lin Yun said: "How do you say it?"

Dad said: "There has been no one in the Nanfeng Pavilion for half a year, but just now, Mr. Han gave all the eighteen young men in the dark room a reward." The banter in Lin Yun's eyes disappeared, and at this time Han The water also entered the flower hall, and his expression was as quiet as a deep pool.

With a flick of his clothes, Han Shui sat down safely and said to everyone, "Come, let's see the flowers bloom in four seasons."

Rolling white oil was poured on the skin and tender meat, and blisters were formed in an instant. The eighteen young men knelt on the ground and howled, curled up on the ground uncontrollably, but were forcibly pulled up to pour oil on it.No one was interested anymore, Lin Yun sighed and said, "Since it's just for fun, why bother to be serious?" Han Shui sneered, "Isn't this just for everyone's fun?"

Daddy hurriedly said: "That's right, the young ladies have worked hard for ten years and fasted for seven nights in order to serve the adults, and they all competed to receive the dripping wax. They..." Lin Yun immediately glared at Daddy: "Why, when Han Has your lord never seen the world?"

Before drinking the wine, Han Shui got up and straightened his robes. Before leaving, he left a message: "One day in Qingming, Han will definitely tear down all the men's entertainment halls in the world."

On the eve of the first day of the new year, Han Shui invited Ye Fei to the tea house by the river, and asked, "Master Peng is going to the northern Xinjiang tomorrow, can Guan Si have something to say?"Ye Fei said: "The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say, but Peng Hao is in favor of Yuhua Pavilion after all, so let him live."

Han Shui said: "When he wanted to kill me, Guan Si also persuaded him like this?" Ye Fei flipped the lid of the tea and took a sip, which was his acquiescence.Han Shui understood that Yuhua Pavilion has always persuaded life and not death, and kept grace unswervingly.

On the first day of the lunar new year, when the Meridian Gate was executed, hundreds of heads fell to the ground like beads.Injustices and sins are washed away, no one dares to ask, no one dares to spy.Han Shui didn't join in the fun, and ordered his subordinates to ride with him on the outskirts of Beitai.Dongqing lay in ambush in the wilderness until dark, when Peng Hao and his party passed by, she came forward to bribe the officers and soldiers, and brought someone to see her.

In the hut, Han Shui was dressed in black at the shadow department, his face was indifferent, and Peng Hao was wearing an iron chain and wooden shackles, with a disheveled face.

After a long time, Peng Hao finally recognized the familiar face in front of him, and said with a sneer, "Actors are untrustworthy. Ye Fei, Bi Shu, and you, Qingyan, are all ungrateful and ungrateful." Han Shui only said, "You deserve it." Peng Hao squinted his eyes, and said with a sinister smile, "Don't think that you can clear the blood debt of the Qi family by taking advantage of the momentum on the other side. Princess Qingyang's blood-stained hands are not as clean as King Cheng's." Han Shui lost his mind for a moment.

"Pa" Jing Lan waved her arm and gave a strong whip, and asked for instructions: "Your words are not disrespectful, you deserve death, and let your subordinates take this person's life." Peng Hao twitched in pain, and smiled stubbornly: "Peng's belly There are countless secrets, and life is cheap, but it is not up to you to take it lightly." The elder Dong was calm, and stopped him: "Your Excellency has not yet made a decision, so don't be rash..." Peng Haoan was calm, but unexpectedly, Han Shui just recovered, without hesitation, and ordered Said: "Kill."

The first one to draw the sword was not Jinglan, but Dongqing.Peng Hao's legs went limp, and he staggered and knelt down to beg for mercy. With a flash of Dongqing's sword, he stabbed into the chest and saw red in an instant.The croaking of cicadas and frogs ceased, the frightened birds scattered, and the huts were filled with a fishy smell.The body was still hot, Han Shui stepped forward, asked Dongqing to borrow the sword, and stabbed the man so hard that his face was beyond recognition, and blood was splashed all over his body.

The sharp sword fell to the ground with a clang, Han Shui's hands trembled, panting, and said with a miserable smile: "How many innocent people have been killed, and the blood of thousands of people has been drained, such a crime, not going to hell, but still looking forward to showing off news, ridiculous, shameful!"

Jing Lan was horrified.Banxia was at a loss and said: "The princess told me to protect this person." Dongqing leaned over to pick up the sword, and knelt down on one knee: "Peng Hao's death was caused by the subordinate's impulse, and has nothing to do with the adults." Han Shui was able to calm down a little, and said: "Knowing your loyalty is enough. The princess, Mr. Han, should apologize."

As soon as he returned to Xilin City, before his horse rested, Han Shui was called to Liuying Palace to take orders.Yun Bing didn't mention Peng Hao's matter, but instead asked: "Why do you want to demolish the Huanguan?" When he lost control, Han Shui regretted it, and now he was speechless.

Yun Bing said: "It is common sense for Israel to serve people, and it is common sense for you to feel aggrieved. You don't need to hide it." Han Shui squeezed out a smile: "The minister is just drunk..." Yun Bing said with a smile: "You never drink alcohol when you do business. .” Chu Rong stood on the side, unknown to the public.

Han Shui pleaded guilty and said: "I sincerely like Miss Yun'er." Yun Bing said: "In that case, I would like to advise you a word." Han Shui promised.Yun Bing stirred the blue and white porcelain spoon in the jade bowl, circled it around, and said: "For Miss Xun'er, you are a lover, it doesn't matter if you are sincere or not, but for Princess Qingyang, you are a subject, if there is even a trace of betrayal, Then there will be no redemption, life would be better than death."

Han Shui's heart was cold and he dared not speak.Yun Bing drank the honeydew and said with a smile: "A few joking words, are you serious? When he comes out in the east, you have to rely on Qing to escort the princess." Han Shui understood, thanked him for his forgiveness, and withdrew respectfully.

At sunset, enjoy the coolness at the top of the city, and flags fly with the summer wind.Dongqing came to him alone with a sword, and asked: "My lord, what do you order when you summon your subordinates alone?" .”

Han Shui smiled coolly, and said bluntly: "There are many people in the Nanfeng Pavilion, so it is not surprising that the news leaked out, but when Peng Hao was killed, only a few of you were present, so the princess knew about it. Since you were sent by the princess to monitor me, you must be with me. It’s also Qiying, that’s what I meant by the disrespectful title just now.”

Holly raised her eyes, her expression complicated.Han Shui mocked: "I really wronged you to serve these days." Dongqing sighed: "It's not just this period of time." Han Shui frowned: "What do you mean?" Dongqing said: "It's been four years since I secretly protected you year." Han Shui was stunned: "It's all arranged by the princess?" Dongqing said: "Otherwise, if you died on the way to Yunzhou, Mr. Han would not take you in, let alone teach you to read and be a man."

The turbulent waves turned into a sigh, and Han Shui smiled wryly: "Everyone says that there is no doubt about employing people. Since they have gone to great lengths to employ me, why are they suspicious and monitoring me so much?"

A cool breeze blew across people's faces, and the holly eyes reflected the light of the setting sun, deep and gentle but did not evade: "It was not the princess' intention, but my subordinates came here at the beck and call." Han Shui was uncomfortable and asked, "You still call yourself a subordinate? "Holly said: "Willingly."

How good Long Yang is for the shadow guard's ban on female sex, Han Shui immediately understood clearly in a flash of light.Thinking that this person has been staring at him for four years, and seeing all the unbearable things he has done since he escaped from the imperial city, he couldn't help but shudder.

Han Shui glanced at his face, and said coldly: "In that case, just concentrate on doing things for me, and don't argue with the princess." Dongqing nodded, obeying.

In the coming year, in Dongyue, the former Shangshu Youcheng begged for the bones, and Xiao Yu was in charge of the three departments of soldiers, punishment and engineering.Seeing that the sun was about to rise and rise in the east, the emperor suddenly caught wind and cold in the twelfth lunar month and fell ill.The government and the public were shaken, Fang Tuo dispatched the Tianying Battalion to guard the palace strictly, and King Cheng was in charge of all affairs.On behalf of Zhongshu Sheng, he called the princes and children of the fiefdoms back to Beijing to listen to the decree.

This edict was dangerous, and Xiao Yu was worried that it was a Hongmen banquet, so he sent a messenger to Yunzhou for eight hundred miles.When the courier arrived, Yun Bing had already packed his outfit and was ready to go.The messenger was amazed: "The princess doesn't know the prophet?" Chu Rong replied: "The princess has the emperor and the country in her heart, and she has the breeze to send the news."

The messenger worked for Xiao's family with a lot of thoughtfulness. After inquiring clearly, he returned to Xiao Yu and said, "It was Han Shui who advised Princess to go to Beijing. This person is well-informed and has frequently been in and out of Liuying Palace. He is quite trusted by the Princess." Shui runs various intelligence networks, and the system has just formed, which is highly valued by Yun Bing.In addition, a few days ago, he had just been promoted to be the head banner of the Liuying Palace Shadow Department, in charge of the other eighteen banner shadows, and his status in the Qingyang Party had risen sharply.

After this shocking change, Han Shui had already found out the truth. It turned out that this edict was a step ahead of King Cheng and Fang Dang, who fabricated the edict of the Son of Heaven to name the princes, and wanted to suppress the disobedient officials.In the hall, the princess asked the opinions of the ministers, and Han Shui remonstrated: "If the princess does not go, she will resist the emperor's order, and she will lose her loyalty and filial piety; if she goes, she will be imprisoned and reduced to a fish waiting to be slaughtered. In this way, you can only take it with you to the west." The army will go together, with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty on his side, Kuang Yi will be orthodox."

Xiao Da said: "The three military houses of Xiling, Guiling and Wuling, together with the newly trained iron cavalry, total 28 troops. They are willing to help the princess in her great cause." Lin Huan said: "My brother sent a letter last night with the same intention. I have been planning to go east for six years, and when this happens, it will be an east wind from heaven, and this opportunity cannot be missed."

Yun Bing looked around the crowd and smiled: "What's the matter today, everyone agrees, as if discussing it." Immediately afterwards, Chu Rong sent an order, Xiao Da was ordered to lead the three armies, Lin Huan was dedicated to logistics and military supplies, and all the ministers under the tent were in charge. Only then did I realize that the princess had already made a decision in her heart.

The strange thing is that everyone's name has been called, but Han Shui has not been ordered.For several days, Han Shui entered the palace to seek an audience, but was blocked from the door.

That night, Chu Rong quietly went to the film department and advised Han Shui: "Half of the 28 troops belong to the Xiao family. Since the Xiao family does not want to see you, the princess will not want to see you at this time." Han Shui said: "Be careful." I know it well." Chu Rong frowned: "Then why do you provoke me so often?" Han Shui said: "The queen's surname is Xiao, but the princess's surname is Yun. I'm not talented. Since I work in Liuying Palace, I only recognize the princess and Yun. Home."

Chu Rong glanced at it and said: "Really think that a few nights of spring night can change the princess's confidant?" Han Shui didn't care, and replied: "If you say confidant, no one can compare with Lord Chu." Chu Rong said: "I have nothing else to do." His intention is just to remind you not to spoil the princess and come up with big plans for the sake of success." Han Shui said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I have my own measure."

The author has something to say:

Mr. Han's bloodiness is a little bit here, he and Lin Yun are in trouble.
