"His Majesty……"
The moment these two words were spoken, a cold light flashed and cut off her voice.
Chu Yang grabbed her hand and slowly stretched it out. With a stretch of his long arm, the Longquan sword was already piercing forward. The thin and flexible sword body only swayed slightly, and was immediately straightened by the power poured into it. Suddenly, the sword let out a dragon roar.
This moment shocked Shang Ruyi to his core.
The returning force of the sword also made her mouth numb. If Chu Yang's warm hand hadn't covered the hilt of the sword tightly in her hand, the sword would have almost come out of her hand.
At this time, she seemed to feel something was wrong in her mind, and Chu Yang's voice sounded in her ears again——
"Watch out!"
At this moment, his voice actually seemed clear and sober, as if the drunkenness just now was swept away by the sword energy at the moment of the long sword dance. What was left was emanating from the person behind him, which could not be ignored. With his arrogant spirit and hot body temperature, his hands tightened Shang Ruyi's waist harder and harder, and the two bodies seemed to merge into one.
With a flip of his wrist, his long arm bent, and the sword with cold light drew a rainbow shadow in the air, spinning to the top of his head. Chu Yang held Shang Ruyi's waist and leaned back slowly. His waist was tough and strong, and his upper body was almost flat with the ground. He was supporting Shang Ruyi, but he was as steady as a rock. His sword was lightly touching their faces. Gently stroke it, if a ray of water passes before your eyes.
Shang Ruyi felt as if he was sinking to the bottom of the lake, looking at the shimmering water above his head.
The next moment, Chu Yang suddenly turned around and took her in a circle. Their sleeves were suddenly entangled together, like a pair of flying butterflies. When the butterflies waved their wings, A ray of cold light suddenly came out again and was captured by their hands. Immediately, the butterflies flew away. Chu Yang's wrist kept turning, and the long sword turned into dozens of cold lights in his hands, sometimes blurring like the moon. Sometimes it unfolded like a fan, and following his messy footsteps, the cold light kept moving. In front of Shang Ruyi's eyes, a strange but gorgeous picture seemed to unfold.
She completely lost her reaction and could only follow Chu Yang's footsteps, walking and stopping.
Although his steps were chaotic, there was order in the chaos. Sometimes it seemed that he was about to collapse, but he turned the tide and withdrew his sword to save her from the danger of Yushan collapse.
Gradually, Shang Ruyi seemed to understand his footwork and body skills.
Gradually, she followed him, wielding the sword like a madman for a while, and holding back her breath for a while. The two gradually danced into a silent fit, with the body like a flying luan and the sword like a long dragon. In this beautiful garden, it was quiet. Like water, but Qi moves mountains and rivers!
When the dance was over, Shang Ruyi turned around and stood facing Chu Yang.
The long swords were in the hands of the two of them, lying in front of their eyes.
After all, her physical strength had just been restored, and such a sword dance, even if someone was protecting her the whole time, still made Shang Ruyi a little weak and short of breath. She panted slightly, and her breath sprayed on the cold-light sword, making it wet. fog.
But the other side of the sword was as bright as a mirror.
In the mirror, a pair of slender phoenix eyes filled with joy were reflected.
At this moment, Chu Yang's whole body was filled with joy and vitality. The ecstasy was like a person who had been trapped in the desert for a long time and suddenly found a spring. The joy of longing and getting what he wanted could no longer be expressed in words. It can be described. ….
Facing such a look, Shang Ruyi's heart beat like thunder.
She always felt that she didn't understand him, or at least, she shouldn't understand him.
She knows that she is a very smart person, so for her, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is not a kind of wisdom, but an instinct, just like looking at a cliff, no one will jump down.
But after this sword dance and seeing such ecstatic eyes, she couldn't help but understand him.
He is so lonely...
However, just when the two people looked at each other, there was a slight cough next to them. Shang Ruyi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and then he came to his senses. Eunuch Yu was always beside him.
It's not that he was spying, but he followed him this time because he had a "mission" in the first place.
Shang Ruyi's expression changed, and Chu Yang's eyebrows also frowned.
He turned to look at Eunuch Yu, with anger already on his face, but before he could get angry, Shang Ruyi had already said softly: "Your Majesty, Ruyi and Eunuch Yu came here to report something important."
Chu Yang let out a deep breath and said with lingering anger: "What's the matter? We'll talk about it at the meeting tomorrow."
Eunuch Yu on the side was even more miserable.
In fact, along the way, Shang Ruyi also learned about the current general situation of Jiangdu Palace from his mouth. When he first arrived in Jiangdu, Chu Yang still went to court once a day; later, it became once every other day, and now, he has not gone to court for several days.
Because, even if the court meeting is held, the news reported is just who has raised troops again, and rebels have appeared somewhere. Every time the news comes, there is another knife hanging on Chu Yang's head; and now , he simply closed his eyes, unable to see the light of the swords, and only the gentle scenery of the south of the Yangtze River was left in front of him. This was the life he wanted when he went south.
But he couldn't ignore the knife already on his neck.
Shang Ruyi turned around and saw Eunuch Yu giving her a hard look, as if she could only rely on her at this time. So Shang Ruyi glanced at Chu Yang again and found that although his face was not very good-looking, he was not really angry.
So, he said cautiously: "It was the Imperial Guards who were in the city and fought with the guards of the Old Palace. I heard that many people were killed and injured, and many innocent people were also injured."
"..."
"No matter which side the people belong to, they are actually His Majesty's people. If they fight, it will not look good on His Majesty's face."
"The Praetorian Guards? And the Old Palace Guards?"
Chu Yang was obviously a little surprised and frowned: "Why did they fight?"
Shang Ruyi was about to say something. At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Eunuch Yu and said loudly: "Wei minister pays homage to the emperor!"
Eunuch Yu was caught off guard and trembled with fright.
Looking back, he saw that Wang Shaoji had walked up behind him at some point. Eunuch Yu frowned, but immediately smiled and said, "Why is General Wang here?"
Wang Shaoji gave him a cold look and said, "I'm here to meet with your Majesty. Please let me know."
He has already come this far, and when it comes to reporting, he simply takes off his pants and farts.
Eunuch Yu could only smile and say, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
When she saw him, Shang Ruyi also frowned, but she immediately realized that her situation was wrong, hurriedly let go of the sword in her hand, took several steps back, and finally distanced herself from Chu Yang. some distance. ….
However, this scene had already been seen by Wang Shaoji.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more. He still kowtowed to Chu Yang respectfully. Chu Yang's alcoholism also dissipated a little at this time, and he only frowned and glanced at Shang Ruyi. Then he withdrew his sword and turned to look at Wang Shaoji: "You came just in time. Why did the people under your command start fighting with the old palace guards?"
Wang Shaoji lowered his head and gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression.
The incident happened not long ago, and he entered the palace as soon as he got the news. Unexpectedly, Chu Yang already knew it, and it was obvious who the person who reported it was.
This woman has been causing him trouble ever since she appeared!
Although he was gnashing his teeth thinking about this, Wang Shaoji didn't show any emotion on his face. He only said respectfully to Chu Yang: "We are about to report this matter to the emperor. The old palace defenders are arrogant and rude, as follows I committed the crime and killed and wounded several Imperial Guardsmen. This matter must not be spared! I ask your Majesty to punish them severely to serve as a warning to others."
Eunuch Yu frowned as he listened.
Although he brought Shang Ruyi to report, the purpose of the report was to hope that the emperor could stop the matter, find out the truth, and punish the culprits. However, as soon as Wang Shaoji came, he directly asked the emperor to punish the old palace defenders. It was completely indiscriminate, and he was clearly protecting his shortcomings by doing this.
And he was just protecting his shortcomings. If he really punished these people without asking the reason, wouldn't the emperor's prestige in Jiangdu be completely lost?
But these matters are business matters after all. Eunuch Yu is a chamberlain, and no matter how concerned he is about important matters, he cannot interfere at will.
He could only look at Chu Yang anxiously and then at Shang Ruyi.
Sure enough, Chu Yang's face darkened when he heard this: "Is there such a thing?"
"yes."
"This is unreasonable. Immediately pass the order, arrest those people and put them in prison!"
Wang Shaoji looked overjoyed and immediately accepted the order to leave. Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
Chu Yang turned to look at her, but Wang Shaoji immediately said: "Mrs. Yuwen, this is business and has nothing to do with you. You'd better not interrupt!"
Chu Yang said: "Shut up!"
Wang Shaoji could only shut his mouth.
Chu Yang looked down at Shang Ruyi again and said, "What do you want to say?"
Shang Ruyi was still breathing unevenly, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose. But at this moment, she didn't care about being rude and said softly: "Ruyi didn't mean to overstep, but what General Wang just said was a bit biased."
"Oh? Why?"
"The old palace defenders are the palace guards here, and the janitor guards are also responsible for guarding the imperial city. There is no essential difference between the two, and there is no question of superiority or inferiority. When they fight, it can't be said that they are the following criminals. .”
"..."
"Besides, the truth of the matter has not yet been found out. It would be unfair to directly punish the old palace defenders."
Chu Yang glanced at her thoughtfully.
Wang Shaoji on the side saw this situation and immediately said: "Your Majesty, what Mrs. Yuwen said is even more biased. The old palace guards only guard Jiangdu Palace, but the imperial guards guard not only the imperial city, but also your majesty's palace." Can she not tell the difference between safety and safety? Or is it that in her heart, the safety of Jiangdu Palace is more important than the safety of His Majesty?!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "I didn't!".
