Chapter 88: Integrating into the Night (Subscription Request)

Yanfufang, Anle Pavilion.

Night had fallen, the sound of evening drums could be heard in the streets, and among the imperial guards patrolling the streets with spears in hand, Duan Chengtian, who was still wearing an apron, was hastily invited by Liang Zhi to come and enter the courtyard before curfew.

Outside the courtyard room, Yu Youshu paced back and forth in the corridor, fanning herself with a conflicted look on her face.

"Where are they?" Liang Zhi hurried forward and asked quickly.

Behind him, Duan Chengtian was untying the apron tied around his waist, looking thoughtful.

Yu Youshu hesitated for a moment and said, "In the room."

Liang Zhi frowned and was about to enter the side room.

"Tian Anxing has ordered me to guard here and no one is allowed to enter..." Yu Youshu hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward to stop him.

"Why would I stop you?"

"Brother Liang, please don't be surprised. Tian Anxing did say so."

"What are they going to do to the emperor?" Liang Zhi said with a straight face, "Don't mess around."

Yu Youshu insisted, "Since Tian Anxing ordered this, he must have his reasons."

"You are confused," Liang Zhijiang lowered his voice and advised, "Don't be fooled by his appearance. He may look young, but he is very hard-hearted. You can't be sure that he will use the emperor to do something. If that happens, how can you and I face the Marshal in the future?"

"Also, don't forget that you are from my Luoyang branch! Old Duan is here too, do you want to stop him?"

Duan Chengtian said with a bitter face: "It should be okay to take a look..."

Yu Youshu was still thinking about it when Liang Zhiyi pushed her away rudely and was about to knock on the door.

But at the same time, the door of the wing room was opened from the inside.

Everyone outside the door was stunned.

Xiao Yan wore a plain white cotton face towel between his mouth and nose, but unlike ordinary face towels, it had two straps, each tied behind his head, which actually covered his mouth and nose tightly.

At the same time, as the door opened, a faint smell of realgar wine wafted out from inside.

"Is something wrong?"

Xiao Yan's eyes were sharp, causing Liang Zhi to stop subconsciously.

The latter coughed and said, "Captain, what are you doing?"

"According to the emperor's decree, change his appearance."

"Change your appearance!?" Liang Zhi was shocked, but subconsciously walked into the room.

But the door had been closed by Xiao Yan, who then grabbed his shoulder and asked, "Brother Liang, what do you mean?"

"But I want to ask what the captain's intention is!? We risked our lives to put on a show, wasn't it just to make the emperor escape? Now the captain has changed the emperor's face. If the commander wants to revive the Tang Dynasty in the future, who will recognize the emperor!?"

Liang Zhi had a stern face, but was suddenly startled.

He couldn't pull it.

Xiao Yan pushed him away and took off the mask hanging on his cheek with one hand, saying, "Brother Liang and Tiansuxing, please go back. I have already said that no one is allowed to enter today."

"This is Luoyang!"

Liang Zhi held his breath and said in a deep voice: "It's not your Yanzhou!"

Duan Chengtian sighed and tried to smooth things over: "We are all colleagues. Old Liang, don't take advantage of your seniority to bully the younger ones. But Captain Xiao, why don't we both take a step back? I, Old Duan, have thought about it and feel that this matter is not appropriate. How about we report it to the chief leader first, and then make plans after the commander-in-chief knows about it? After all, he is the emperor, and we, as his subjects..."

"No need to bother."

Xiao Yan interrupted him, raised his hand, and a dark green jade token slipped out from his sleeve, and then he showed it to several people.

"The chief leader is busy right now."

Liang Zhi was startled suddenly, and half of his head froze.

Yu Youshu was also stunned. She stared at the token for a long time, then bent down and saluted with her hands clasped.

Duan Chengtian was surprised. He could guess that Xiao Yan and Sanqianyuan should be in agreement on certain points of view, but he did not expect that Sanqianyuan would be willing to entrust the command to him.

He said no more, and said with a folded hand: "In this case, we will not bother Tian Anxing any more."

"After today, there will be no more emperor."

Xiao Yan held the Bad Commander Order in his hand, and slowly glanced at the few people, saying, "I hope you can keep this matter to yourself."

"I will follow your orders."

…………

In the night, the candlelight became brighter.

Xiao Yan put on his mask again and stood in a corner of the room with his arms folded.

Further inside, the surrendered minister's long pink hair had been tied up, and because he was bending over with his back to him, the back of his white neck was clearly visible.

After a long time, she stood up. Between her fingers painted with pink nail polish, the willow-leaf-shaped blade was slightly stained with blood, which condensed and dripped downwards.

"This gauze can be removed after he recovers for two months."

Throwing the blade into a basin of realgar wine, Jiang Chen took off the mask on his face and raised his eyebrows slightly, saying, "How is it? Isn't my new thing good?"

Xiao Yan smiled, but just pointed at her delicate hands, "If Corpse Ancestor has this concept of sterility, maybe he can research an ultra-thin glove that can isolate both hands."

"?"

The surrendered minister frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Yan didn't explain much. He walked over and looked at the young man who had been in a coma for a long time, with gauze wrapped around his face, lying quietly on the couch.

He folded his arms and remained silent for a long time.

The surrendered minister cleaned his hands and wiped them with a white towel, then placed his hand on his shoulder and said, "I have done what you asked. You must also fulfill your promise."

Xiao Yan smiled softly but did not respond.

"Hey, don't think that just because you have some extremely yang internal energy, you won't be afraid of the backlash of my magic power."

Jiang Chen gently patted the white towel and said, "Boy, you are still young, and there are some things you cannot comprehend. You are only at the middle stage of the Great Heaven Realm at most, and your internal energy is divided into two parts to balance the yin and yang. Even if you have cultivated the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Divine Art, in the future when you fight with others, you will still..."

"It is also very easy to go astray again," Xiao Yan interrupted her and said, "Corpse Ancestor has said this many times, there is no need to repeat it."

"I've said this many times before, don't interrupt me casually..." Jiang Chen couldn't help but grit his teeth, clenched the white towel in his hand, and snorted, "Don't think you know a lot? I've said before, the harmony of yin and yang is just the surface. If you really want to use this function smoothly, you have to press..."

Xiao Yan took off his mask, sighed, and interrupted again: "What Corpse Ancestor said about dual cultivation, maybe I can think about it a little more..."

"Hey, are you reluctant to practice dual cultivation with me?"

Jiang Chen let his long hair down, a little unhappy, and said: "Listen, I want to practice dual cultivation with you, but it is not as simple as taking yang to replenish yin or taking yin to replenish yang. I have been constantly improving this magical skill over the years, but I have not found the best solution for practicing it. This is the only method I haven't tried yet, you..."

Xiao Yan looked a little strange, and said, "No wonder Corpse Ancestor asked me how old I was." "Hmm, cough, cough..." Jiang Chen changed the subject with a cough, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Another point, we are both practicing the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Divine Art. According to my calculations, if we practice together, our strength will only improve, and we will never go astray. I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Corpse Ancestor is really not looking for the old cow to eat young grass?" Xiao Yan was surprised, as if he felt that he really misunderstood her.

"Eat your head!"

The surrendered minister threw the white towel on his face and left with a sour face.

Xiao Yan glanced at the young man lying on the couch, exhaled, and followed him out.

Outside, the surrendered minister had long disappeared, and only Yu Youshu was still waiting. At this time, she asked curiously, "Captain, that maid just now didn't look very happy, but the emperor..."

"No problem. I'll have to trouble Madam Yu to arrange for someone to take care of it for the next two days. I'll send someone back to Yanzhou in two days." Xiao Yan paused and said, "Also, from now on, everyone inside will be called Xiao. Don't let others know."

Yu Youshu was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and responded.

After this matter was settled, Xiao Yan also remembered that he had a plan.

He had received news that Cui Yu had been transferred to Luoyang. It was probably because of Zhu Youzhen's relationship that he was temporarily away from the remaining power of the Underworld Emperor in Bianliang.

According to his plan, he should contact Zhu Youzhen through this person.

But when I looked up, I realized that the night had grown very dark and it was too late to make any arrangements now.

…………

At night, when he returned to his room to sleep, there was no sign of the surrendered minister.

Xiao Yan also deliberately checked her bag and found that the medicine box and other items had disappeared. If his guess was correct, she should have left with a lot of resentment.

He then stood by the window with his hands behind his back, feeling a little disappointed.

To him, Jiangchen was indeed a very loyal person. Just by writing a letter to him, the fact that someone was willing to come from thousands of miles away was already a great honor for him.

From the perspective of others, he was indeed quite ungrateful.

But he had some concerns.

According to his memory, Jiang Chen was actually a hundred years old. No matter what she did, her plan should not be so simple.

Don't be tempted by beauty!
Thinking this way, he suppressed the guilt in his heart and raised his hand to close the wooden window.

But as he raised his eyes slightly, he saw a long-haired figure sitting on the roof opposite, with the moonlight shining down, falling right into her beautiful eyes. Xiao Yan was stunned, and clearly saw her charming face with a little smugness on it.

"Young man, are you thinking about me?"

"Why is this happening, Corpse Ancestor..." Xiao Yan laughed.

The next moment, a bandage was stretched straight and swung towards him.

He was surprised and dodged.

When he looked up again, he saw that there was no one on the roof. Then, the door was pushed open, and the figure of the surrendered minister entered.

Xiao Yan smiled and raised his hand to invite him: "Please sit down first, Corpse Ancestor, and let's talk."

"talk?"

Unexpectedly, the place where the surrendered minister stood was empty in an instant, and then Xiao Yan felt someone grabbing his collar.

"Mr. Xiao, I don't want to waste my breath on you anymore. You are so young, but you have so many tricks up your sleeve!"

Before Xiao Yan could say anything, she pushed him over and made him sit on the couch.

Jiang Chen poked his chest with his hand, gritted his teeth and said with an unconcealed look on his face: "Does it seem unfair to you to practice dual cultivation with me?"

"Am I not beautiful!?"

Her face was very close, and the pleasant fragrance on her body came to his face, as if mixed with Xiao Yan's breath. From his perspective, he felt that her flawless face was extremely delicate, and her pair of peach blossom eyes did not blink, as if she wanted to eat him up in one bite.

"Ahem... Corpse Ancestor is naturally beautiful."

"Humph."

Jiang Chen snorted, grabbed the other person by the collar and pushed him away from the bed.

Xiao Yan was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Chen leaning lazily on the couch again. She raised her well-proportioned long legs from under her skirt and instantly hooked them around his waist, preventing him from leaving easily.

She used her white, smooth and tender feet to constantly roam over his body, gradually approaching the key point.

After a moment, she smiled very delicately, and the copper coins strung on the neck of her long skirt began to rise and fall with her chest.

"Now, is Xiao Lang interested?"

Xiao Yan was silent for a long time, but his face was already a little red.

The surrendered minister relied on her beauty and looked around with her pretty eyes, deliberately looking into his eyes.

Suddenly, the candlelight in the room went out without wind.

"Corpse Ancestor, I'm sorry."

In the endless darkness, Jiang Chen raised the corners of his mouth, as if he was full of confidence in his beauty again.

The little boy was easily controlled by her.

But in a moment, her smile suddenly froze.

Her beautiful eyes widened, her breathing became a little difficult, and her voice became disordered instantly.

"Wait, dual cultivation, isn't it..."

The eighteen-year-old tiger didn't care about anything, but just blended into the night with great greed and effort.

Jiang Chen bit his lips tightly, stretched out his white jade hand and grabbed the boy's back.

Finally, in the small world isolated by internal force, the sound of gasps that seemed like someone was about to die could be heard continuously.

…………

Qi State, Fengxiang.

By the window, Ji Ruxue stood with her arms folded, but just looked at the waning moon in the sky, silent.

Miao Chengtian's voice came from behind.

"Xue'er, pack your things quickly. We will set out early tomorrow morning and meet up with Xiao Lang in Luoyang..."

"coming."
