Chapter 169: You’re an animal

King Yu didn’t understand the meaning of this strange statement, but from Su Yan’s face, he knew that it wasn’t something good.

It seemed that Su Yan had really accumulated hatred towards him for a long time, no wonder he would take the love letter he sent to the emperor to sue the emperor.

In retrospect, it was all his own doing – rationally he knew this, but the fact that the other man had acted so desperately caused him another wave of unspeakable embarrassment and pain.

Is it really irreparable? King Yu for the first time tasted the flavor of love lost, thought he was a million soldiers, but was beaten by the other side single-handedly, a defeat.

But he won’t stop there.

He had several times from the grass and smoke of the frontier, from the blood pile of corpses stand up, even if only one person and a long lance, also want to fight tenaciously to the end. Not to die of exhaustion, never give up, this is engraved in the bones of the war, even if ten years of drunkenness, but also can not be erased.

If Su Yan dislikes his attitude, then change his attitude; if he loathes his tactics, then change his tactics; if he is resentful about the water pavilion matter, then put down the Prince’s face to apologize and thank him, and be willing to be chastised.

Even if the other party refused to forgive for a while, but the water can still penetrate the stone, Su Yan’s heart can be much softer than a rock, in time, do not believe that he can not be beaten.

King Yu took a deep breath and said with a straight face, “This king wants to apologize to Qinghe.”

Su Yan rolled his eyes, “The king has apologized to the next official four times, every time it is a dog fart, turn back how it should still be.”

…… There are so many times? Yu Wang thought back, it seems that there is really, the small south courtyard twice, the shallow grass slope once, and once in the love letter. Each time to apologize, either with the mentality of coaxing the lover, pick each other love to listen to the casual talk, or is to retreat as a means of progress. In the love letter of regret is sincere, but unfortunately does not seem to get to the point, but let Su Yan even more angry.

King Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words in his own defense, wanting to swear that he was truly repentant this time, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

Su Yan sighed, with the tiredness of the heart tired, to him earnestly said: “Zhu Xu Jing, I really do not want to get entangled with you again. I originally thought, no matter what, I want to seek justice, even if you rely on your clan status to get away with it, you have to make amends and apologize to me. But now I realized that this is no longer important.

“Because thank you or not, the result does not make any difference, you are still the high and mighty prince, and I am still the subject of cattle and horses. I know how you look at me from the heart: a scholar with good looks, a pastime for talking about the moon, and an official with some ability and ambition – but this ability and ambition is no more useful to you than a bed that can twist your ass. Just as the talent of the famous prostitute, but the icing on the cake only, the key is still in the ‘prostitute’ word.”

King Yu’s face was extremely ugly as he gritted his teeth and said, “Your words–“

Su Yan said calmly, “That’s hard for me to say, isn’t it? But the truth is like this. Every time you were alone with me, you either moved your hands or tried to turn me towards the bed. Admittedly, you are exceptionally gifted and skillful, and I can’t deny that that time in the water pavilion, while being psychologically extremely humiliated, I also got erotically . I don’t deny that the watering hole was extremely humiliating psychologically and at the same time extremely enjoyable erotically. But that only added to my fear and loathing–

“I fear that my desires are easily controlled. “I fear that my desires are easily controlled, and I loathe the feeling of powerlessness that my heart resists and my body is forced to give in to. I loathe the feeling of powerlessness that my heart resists, but my body is forced to fall.

“After all, Jusu, what you are most proud of is precisely what I want to avoid the most.

“I once regretted that you wasted your time and talent, understood your resentment and helplessness of being bound and losing your freedom, and also appreciated your saving grace, hoping to be friends with you. Now it seems that you were right, you do not lack me this one friend, and we can not be friends. Why don’t we clear the air on this, and from now on, we will only do business dealings and not involve any personal emotions.”

“That’s all there is to say.” Su Yan lifted his sleeve and arched his hand, making a bow in an upright manner, “My humble servant – the right junior secretary of the Da Lisi, the imperial inspector, the imperial inspector of Shaanxi, and the crown prince’s attendant – Su Yan, I take my leave of His Highness, the King of Yu.”

Looking at the back of Su Yan’s departure without looking back, King Yu stood silent and straight like a long long lance that had been dusty for years. After a long time, he whispered to himself, “My greatest pride is not in the bed, not in the wind and moon, one day . You will understand.”

Su Yan turned the corner, feet soft at the same time, stepped on a stone slate crack depression, almost fell, busy reaching out to support the vermilion palace wall, a long breath.

He did not expect to meet King Yu here and now. He also did not expect, just said the words, all without the draft, even their own have not thought deeply, at this moment to see each other, actually since the subconscious source of pouring out.

Along with those words poured out at the same time, there is also resentment, nostalgia and half a year of unbearable shame, and now also together with the dissipation in the cold winter wind.

I don’t know when it started to snow slightly, Su Yan tilted his head to look at the sky, letting the hooded snow shrapnel fall on his face with a cool feeling, and smiled with relief.

–It’s time to go home.

–

Su Yan was about to blow out the candles and go to bed, when the closed window rang “Duk Duk, Duk” three light knocking sound.

He busied himself by walking over and opening the window latch. Jing Hong chased the snow foam across the window, bringing in a chill.

“Ah Chui!” Su Yan called out joyfully, reaching out to brush the snow off his shoulders, picking up the red date tea simmering on the stove, pouring a cup and handing it over.

Jing Hongchou finished his drink in one gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said, “My lord, my subordinate has returned to resume his duties.”

“You were gone for five whole days, tricky?”

“Fortunately. Although the royal residence has many guards, but after all, during the annual vacation, the security is not too strict. And King Yu’s recent expression is not belonging, seems to have a lot on his mind, and did not realize that I was hiding in the mansion to keep an eye on him.”

Su Yan hesitated for a moment and said, “I met King Yu at the palace gates today, and he didn’t look well, is it because of Fuyin?”

Jing Hong chased after him and nodded, ”Floating Sound did indeed use the Crane Bone Flute to play the Vertigo Flying Sound, causing King Yu’s mind to be confused and his emotions to go out of control. But after all, King Yu was born in the military and had a firm mind, he soon realized something was fishy and began to line up suspicious people in his residence. Floating Sound hunkered down to recuperate from his injuries, not daring to perform any more feats or make any rash moves, and I waited for five days in a row before tailing him out of the mansion this night.”

“Where did he go?”

“First he stopped for a moment in a remote dark alley, and then he went to a brothel. I climbed over the wall and went in, but I couldn’t find him anywhere, so I thought there was something else inside the brothel, perhaps a secret room or a secret passage to the outside world. I didn’t find any organs for the time being, and didn’t want to scare the snakes, so I went back to the dark alley and searched carefully, and found this mark at the root of the wall–“

Jing Hong chased after the wolf-hair brush on the desk, dipped it in vermilion sand, and drew eight red marks on the white paper. The red marks took on a slender oval shape and were arranged in a fan shape, like a blood-colored lotus flower.

Su Yan picked up the paper and examined it, “There should be some other meaning, but I can’t tell from the pattern alone.”

Jing Hong pursued, “My subordinate can’t understand it either. It’s good that there’s still an odd brothel to continue investigating, I plan to sneak in next time and catch someone who knows what’s going on and torture them.”

Su Yan nodded, “You have to be careful, in case you see that the situation is bad, defend yourself first and go.”

Jing Hong chased by the care, heart swinging and want to go to shake Lord Su’s hand, who expected the other party inadvertently a turn, told him to shake an empty.

After Su Yan folded the paper, he turned around and walked to the closet, stuffed it into a brocade pouch, placed it on his official uniform and said, “The Northern Zhenfu Division collects intelligence from inside and outside the dynasty and is well-informed. Turning back, I’ll ask Shen Qi to see if he recognizes this pattern.”

Even though he was forced to eat New Year’s Eve dinner at the same table, Jing Hongchu still couldn’t listen to the word “Shen Qi”, especially when it came from Lord Su’s mouth, it was like a vinegar bottle exploding in his heart, sour and painful. But after all, it is a matter of great importance, no matter how depressed he was, he did his best to hold back and not show it.

Close the cabinet door, Su Yan also said: “the first month of the 15th of the Ao Shan Lantern Festival, this and you and Xiao Bei, Xiao Jing about, together to enjoy the lanterns. But today, I received an imperial edict ordering Beijing officials above the fourth grade to accompany the driver and travel with them, so I had to break my promise. A chase you take them to see the lights, if it is too noisy, each play their own line.”

The vinegar bottle exploded again, Jing Hong chased by a second blow, the thought of the plan to put river lanterns together with adults to make a wish fell through, the face is stiff and cold, the heart is frustrated.

After taking off his shoes and going to bed, Su Yan also said: “Floating sound side, still have to work hard for you to continue to keep an eye on. If Yu Wang first step to find out what clues, you promptly tell me, I will find an opportunity to go to set up a conversation, can not let the floating sound side involved in your hidden sword door origin, so as to avoid extraneous branches.”

The personal guard was touched and felt that if he was so incompetent that he needed to let His Excellency go to the Dog King to get a word in edgewise, he might as well just kill himself with a sword – or kill the Dog King with a sword, and be done with it forever.

He went up to add charcoal to the charcoal pot in front of the bed, and saw Su Yan wrapping himself into a chrysalis, so he poked his hand into the comforter and touched it, and his toes were cold.

Su Yan said, “A soup girl is not good enough, Ah Chui, you help me fill another one.”

Jing Hong chased seriously thinking about how to bathe with the fastest speed. It was too late to burn hot water, the well water in the back garden was not frozen on, so he could directly rinse, and then use his energy to bake his body temperature afterward.

So he said, “Wait a moment, my lord, and I will fetch water.”

Su Yan thought he was going to boil water to dunk the soup granny and ordered, “Also go out through the window. Opening the door moves a lot, and those four vajra in the front yard are alert as hell.”

Jing Hong chased after him and frowned, “Aren’t these the imperial guards sent to protect His Excellency’s safety, and still care about who comes out of His Excellency’s room in the middle of the night?”

Su Yan smiled helplessly, “They can’t control it, they are only responsible for snitching, someone has to control it. Your master I can have a simmer.”

Jing Hong mocked after him, “There are three things in this world that even the Emperor’s old man can’t control.”

“Which three?”

“When it rains, it pours.”

“And?”

Jing Hong chased after him and leaned down, adding blushingly in Su Yan’s ear, “Little, concubine will warm, warm the bed for master.”

Su Yan froze, his old face flushed red and scolded, “Get lost! I was almost tossed to death by you last time, you’re an animal, don’t think I’ll agree to do that in this life.”

Jing Hongchou also froze, “The bed warming that my subordinate said is really just bed warming ……”

He suddenly opened his aperture, and surprise came out in his tone, “This time, it’s the lord who thought wrongly, could it be that the lord–“

“–Shut up!” Su Yan’s face burned into an evening glow, shrinking his entire head into the comforter, and muffled, “Go dunk the Soup Lady.”

Jing Hongchou was at this moment just like the brass soup granny, hard on the outside and hot on the inside. He patted the quilt surface and said with great dog courage, “Grannies don’t have it, hans do, my lord wait for me.”
