Chapter 76
The shadow clings to the walls outside, invisible things can be entered everywhere, and any physical obstruction is useless for them.
The man saw the shadows flowing into the house like water.
From the beginning, he slowly approached the window until the corner of the wall where he was squatting. This time, he really couldn't escape it.
The man could only lean against the corner of the wall and shrank into a ball. He heard the sound as if he was about to cry: "Don't, don't come over."
A thick black shadow did not stop moving because of his bitter plea. The tall and slender shadows covered the man step by step.
The man felt that he was about to suffocate, and it was then that he noticed and realized what the young man and his shadow were.
The thick black shadow became thinner from the center until a hole was completely cracked, and then a human-shaped monster emerged from the hole.
The man recognized that this human-shaped monster was either anything else, or a young man who wanted to drink water.
The young man's face was a little blurry, and his originally clear facial features could not be recognized at all: "I haven't thanked you yet, why did you leave?"
His voice was extremely penetrating. The man was shocked and the eardrum was bleeding. He endured the pain. He asked, "Why? Everyone doesn't give you water, but I'm the only one who gives you water, but why do you have to attack me instead?"
After the huge fear and suspicion, the sudden resentment filled my heart.
The young man did not hesitate to move his hands. When his body approached the man, the man could only hear some erratic voices: "Because this is what you say in your heart!"
After a shrill scream, only a pool of blood was left in the place where the man died, and his body disappeared out of thin air.
The young man familiarly slid the man's skin, tightened his body, and then got in.
The shadow behind him slowly split into two under the dim candlelight, and then gradually disappeared completely invisible.
"Hiss..." Ling Yue took a breath and suddenly regretted seeing this story.
She kept rubbing her arms through her sleeves, hoping to calm her heart a little in this way.
To this day, if she just simply regards what is told in this book as short stories one by one, the Queen Mother will realize it later.
Ling Yue sat back to the bed, constantly recalling the story she had just read in her mind.
What is the connection with reality this time? Although she is reluctant to admit it, Ling Yue still shows a little, that is, the person who is more or less overlapping and involuntary in the story is herself.
Fortunately, the events in reality will never come for no reason. As long as you have the intention, there will always be traces to follow.
If something really happens recently, there will definitely be signs in advance. Thinking of this, Ling Yue really has a clue.
Su Yunqi, whom he met during the day today, seems to be the best fit between reality and story.
"It's not peaceful in Kyoto... it's not peaceful?" Ling Yue curled up at the foot of the bed alone, muttering what Su Yunqi said in the daytime, and felt panic for no reason.
I don’t know how long it took, but the candlelight on the corner of the desk shaking, pulling out long shadows in the house and mapping them on the snow-white walls.
Ling Yue gently blew out the candle, then turned over to the bed, took a deep breath, and felt relieved.
Since you can't figure it out, it's better not to think about it. It's better to have a general to block the water and soil than to have no preparations.
Su Yunqi was indeed not wrong. A storm was brewing in Kyoto, and all the bustle and noise were about to turn into undercurrents in front of the stormy waves.
"Strengthen patrol, go there, and the rest of the people come with me." In the darkness of the night, two groups of people shuttled back and forth through the alleys of Kyoto.
"Major General, we have installed people in confidential places inside and outside the city. If they really dare..."
Su Yunqi nodded: "I understand, don't disturb the rest of the people."
"Yes!" The man in front of him quickly followed the team away and rushed to the area where he was responsible according to the previous arrangement.
The whole city seemed particularly peaceful in the quiet night, but I didn’t know how long this peace would last.
The two teams were just the guards and soldiers of Su Yunqi's mansion. This time, they were all dispatched. According to Tiansheng's law, no matter where the princes and nobles were, they were not allowed to raise soldiers without permission.
All under the world is the king's land, and the king's ministers are the king's ministers. No king can trust his ministers wholeheartedly. Whoever controls the army can be said to have the bargaining chips to overturn the court at any time.
However, the Su family returned from the northern border, and the Su family under their command was in great power. His Majesty might just be unable to shake his grandfather's prestige in the army for a while.
No matter what, at this stage, he still has the military troops in his hand and can mobilize most of the Su family army. The current situation is more beneficial than disadvantages.
The guards of the palace did not sleep all night and squatted in various confidential places in Kyoto according to Su Yunqi's instructions. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Su Yunqi's expression was a little bad, and the sleeplessness of one night made him feel overwhelmed: "Get away."
I hope that his overthinking becomes a frightened bird.
Su Yunqi, who had just returned home, still heard bad news.
Something happened to Sifang Pavilion last night. Although the person who was in charge of Zhou Fengchuan and Zhou was not the one in charge, he was also the yamen runner who attacked Zhou Fengchuan.
The Hu people came from thousands of miles away, and no one could guarantee whether they really made up their minds to become ally with Tiansheng or to keep other evil intentions.
But what I didn't expect was that the reason why the big tree attracts wind obviously did not apply to this group of tough Hu people. They stepped into other people's territory, but they were impatient to make these amazing small moves.
Su Yunqi sighed. Although he had not been sleeping all night and was in poor spirits, he still had to investigate the matter clearly as soon as possible.
The old general Su's mansion was already in an uproar at this time. All this noise came from only one person, that is Yang Pan, whom General Su valued it very much.
"Deputy General Yang, don't get angry before the matter is investigated clearly." Su Yunqi was even more troubled when he saw such a scene.
"Yunqi?" Yang Pan was very excited for a moment, and then realized that his name was beyond the rules in front of everyone, so he immediately changed his words: "Major General."
Su Yunqi didn't care about these false gifts, nodded randomly, helped General Su back to his seat, and asked back: "Do you have conclusive evidence to prove that it was done by Li Guan?"
Yang Pan's temper was really furious: "Major General, what do you mean? Which one do you belong to?"
Seeing that the old general Su had no words, Su Yun could only express his thoughts and inferences first: "Just discuss the matter." Grandfather was used to responding to the call and wanted to throw a brick and attract jade.
There is no doubt that he has always been that brick, and his grandfather’s words are flawless jade.
