[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 211 [English]

Chapter 203 Song Yu

Huo Lingyun obviously doesn’t know who “he” is, otherwise he would be able to name it the moment he opens his mouth. However, whether it is Wei Huaigu or Xi Hongxuan, he is already dead.

“In the sixth year of Xiande, only Hua and Pan were able to promise Huo Qing a title,” Yao Wenyu touched the back of Mao’er’s neck with both fingers. “At that time, Xi Hongxuan had not yet entered the court, and Wei Huaigu was far from capable. Why did the prince guess these two people?”

“Title,” Xiao Chiye said these two words carefully, “Follow this promise and you can list those people without even guessing. It’s like there is no concealment.”

“According to Peng Fangmiao’s official career, the promise of the title was probably just a disguise, and the real thing used to bribe people was other things.” Kong Ling was stirred up in a cold sweat by the scorpion. “Although Qian Jin was the Minister of Household Affairs eight years ago in Xiande, it was Wei Huaigu who really controlled the Household Department from the first year of Xiande.”

Qian Jin was fired along with Hua Siqian in the Nanlin Hunting Ground rebellion. The key to Da Zhou’s money still did not fall into the hands of Hai Liangyi. Wei Huaigu immediately stepped forward and continued to deal with Hai Liangyi as the Minister of Household Affairs.It was not until Wei Huaigu was imprisoned in the Libei military ration case that the family’s depletion of the national treasury during the Xiande period, resulting in a deficit and implicating Zhongbo’s defeat, came to light.

This is a complicated web, involving not only officials from Qudu, but also local officials from all over the Zhou Dynasty.Just imagine, if “he” used the same method to plant secrets in Juexi and Qidong, how many people are Scorpions now?

“Shuddering,” Kong Ling couldn’t help but say, “This is simply…”

It simply emptied the inside of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

“Don’t panic,” Shen Zechuan looked around at the gentlemen, and brushed away the anxiety that was spreading with a calm tone, “If there are too many threads, it’s easy to reveal the flaw. No matter how shrewd the calculation is, it has to be restrained by mortals. It takes time and effort to control such a situation. Too many people will do bad things.”

Juexi and Qidong are different from Zhongbo. Zhongbo is the result of neglect of control. There is □□ Mountain in Juexi. What He and Xue Xiuzhuo did to track down Kong Kuang was to obstruct the family and Xingzi.There is Qi Zhuyin in Qidong, the Marshal Prime Minister has his own team under his command, and Qi Shiyu assists in government affairs, so he will never collude with Scorpion.But Shen Zechuan was convinced at this moment that the person who tampered with the military rations of the border county was the White Scorpion hiding in Qandu. This scorpion did not want to force Lu Guangbai to rebel, but to force Lu Guangbai to death.

Xiao Chiye stared at Huo Lingyun again at this moment and said, “Since the fire gun was given to King Yi by Scorpion, who taught you?”

Fireguns are not swords. Huo Lingyun, who was born in Dengzhou, had no chance to come into contact with them before. If he wanted to use them skillfully, he had to undergo training.Xiao Chiye had touched a fire blunderbuss in Qandu and knew it well.Regardless of whether Yiwang himself can use it, if he knew that Huo Lingyun could use it, he would not have left Huo Lingyun by his side without any precautions.

Huo Lingyun pursed her lips tightly. In the silence, her expression was solemn. After a moment, she said, “Fang Laoshi.”

This is one of the reasons why Fang Laoshi is willing to join forces with Huo Lingyun to kill Yi Wang. He can learn to use fire guns very quickly, and he can move around Yi Wang. He can also get information about the money bank and keep an eye on Yi Wang’s movements.

“After Dunzhou was recaptured, Yang Qiu and Fang Laoshi began to feel restless,” Huo Lingyun continued. “By the time Cizhou reached an agreement with Libei and Qidong, Fan and Dengzhou were already facing the situation of being conquered. They were afraid that King Yi would not be able to withstand the threat and opened the door to surrender, so they wanted to kill him first and empty the treasury.”

Huo Lingyun used the money bank as bait to burn Yang Qiu and Fang Laoshi. Now the money is in his hands, and only he knows where it is. This is the reason why he dares to talk to Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye.

Huo Lingyun turned his eyes between Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye and said, “I can use fire guns, and I can teach the Libei Iron Cavalry and the Cizhou garrison.” He looked at Xiao Chiye, “You are going to attack Duanzhou in February, so you can replace me with the vanguard. I can lead the remaining garrison in Dengzhou.”

Fei Sheng, who had been kneeling beside him for a long time, immediately changed his expression. He calmed down for a moment, and then said: “Originally, it was not my turn, Fei Laoshi, to interrupt in front of the master, but it is related to the safety of Duanzhou and the second master, so I have to say a few words. This person is unclear, and it is not suitable to be placed next to the second master and the master. The second master is not short of generals, not to mention Mr. Yin is following him this time.”

Fei Sheng was really interested. He was afraid of Huo Lingyun for no reason.Fanzhou was clearly captured by Yin Chang!If Huo Lingyun hadn’t been causing trouble, Yin Chang wouldn’t have been scolded.Well now, Yin Chang captured Fanzhou, but Huo Lingyun took the lion’s share of it. It seems that it was only because of Huo Lingyun’s arson that he conquered Fanzhou.

Not only that, Fei Sheng felt that Huo Lingyun was both tolerant and cruel. He was clean and neat when he struck, and his level of retribution was comparable to that of Shen Zechuan.Such a person is both capable and scheming. Letting Huo Lingyun stay with Shen Zechuan is threatening Fei Sheng. Fei Sheng doesn’t want to give him a chance to get ahead.

Fei Sheng knew the ropes and knew where his opportunities were. If he dared to interrupt now, he was sure that Xiao Chiye didn’t like Huo Lingyun.

Sure enough, Xiao Chiye didn’t want to answer Huo Lingyun’s words at all.He needs a gun, but he doesn’t need Huo Lingyun. Duanzhou can only be Xiao Ce’an’s field.he stayed in Cizhou for such a long time, staying at the Beiyuan school field every day, wearing heavy armor and training with Hai Rigu’s scorpions, just to find a breakthrough that can reverse the current situation in Libei. If the forward is replaced by Huo Lingyun now, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Libei cavalry, which is already suffering from low morale.

Shen Zechuan’s back ached after sitting for a long time, and the tooth marks on the inside of his legs had not subsided. He was not lying when he told Xiao Chiye that he was a mess in the morning. Now he was dealing with the white scorpion incident, and everything was foggy. In the afternoon, he had to start delivering food to Dunzhou, and he had to leave Duanzhou first… and whether Huo Lingyun could use it, this was a tricky thing.

“Since Mr. Huo is interested,” Yao Wenyu said to Shen Zechuan, “Master Fu, haven’t the Jinyi Guards been recruiting new people recently?”

Yes.

Shen Zechuan understood what Yao Wenyu meant in an instant.

Putting Huo Lingyun in the Jinyi Guards, with Fei Sheng’s fear, Huo Lingyun couldn’t be free and easy, and with Qiao Tianya watching from the side, Fei Sheng couldn’t step on Huo Lingyun too much.This will not only keep him apart from Shen Zechuan, but also prevent him from wasting people. It can also serve as a wake-up call for Fei Sheng, who is becoming increasingly “independent”, so that he will not get carried away, leaving behind the double restraints of Qiao Tianya and Huo Lingyun.

“Fei Sheng,” Shen Zechuan said, “go to the remaining Dengzhou garrison and choose them all who meet your recruitment criteria, including Mr. Huo.”

Fei Sheng understood the purpose of this order after thinking about it. His heart sank, but he accepted it happily and said, “I will comply with the master’s arrangement. However, the Dengzhou garrison is Huo Lingyun’s old friend, and they may not be willing to serve the Jinyi Guards.”

“That’s because you haven’t rewarded me enough.” Xiao Chiye raised his left hand and turned the upper finger of his right thumb back to its original position. There was no smile in his eyes. “When they join the Jinyi Guards, they are no longer from Dengzhou, and all their previous military memberships in Dengzhou can be revoked.”

Xiao Chiye clicked to stop.

The imperial army collected by the second master in his early years was more difficult to deal with than the Dengzhou garrison. The way to govern was nothing more than clear-cut rewards and punishments.Xiao Chiye was reminding Fei Sheng that these remnants of Dengzhou soldiers would be able to leave their place of origin if they joined Jinyiwei, and they would be exempted from land tax in Cizhou. As long as they could complete the tasks ordered by Shen Zechuan beautifully, what’s the point?

Fei Sheng understood the meaning and quickly said yes.

It was getting late when it ended, and Qiao Tianya pushed Yao Wenyu back to the yard.

The stone paths in the courtyard are clean and free of snow, and specially sprinkled with salt to prevent four-wheelers from slipping on them.The newly planted plum blossoms have all withered, and the remaining red branches are dead, surrounded by ice and snow, which makes them look particularly miserable.The road was wet today, so Qiao Tianya walked slowly and pushed the car very steadily.

Yao Wenyu’s cat is called “Tiger Slave”. He spends all day either stretching out his waist and padding his paws under the eaves, or sleeping soundly on Yao Wenyu’s knees. At this moment, he became energetic, stepping on Yao Wenyu’s sleeves, and rubbing Yuan Zhuo’s palm vigorously.

Yao Wenyu lowered his fingers to tickle the tiger slave, and the lantern beside him illuminated the side of his face. He has become a little fatter recently and is much prettier than when he first came here. He is Yao Yuanzhuo, who is as rich as jade.

Qiao Tianya didn’t speak, his eyes moved to Yao Wenyu’s collar, and then mistakenly landed on Yao Wenyu’s cuffs.

They haven’t said a word today.

The four-wheeled vehicle entered the door, and the waiters under the eaves brought hot water inside.Yao Wenyu sat inside and read a book, while Qiao Tianya took off his knife and stood outside looking at his piano.

After a long time, the servants all left and closed the door gently.On weekdays, Yao Wenyu takes a bath by Qiao Tianya himself and does not rely on other people’s hands.Yuan Zhuo loves to be clean and won’t fall asleep without taking a bath. Every time Qiao Tianya wipes his hair, he sits quietly.

He seems to have accepted his current ugly state, but that’s the limit. No one other than Qiao Tianya is allowed to see it anymore. This is the bottom line of what he can endure.

Qiao Tianya stood for nearly half an hour, and finally heard Yao Wenyu in the room whisper: “…Qiao Songyue.”

Qiao Tianya’s fingers on the strings paused, but he didn’t reply, as if he didn’t hear him.

Yao Wenyu was quiet for a while and said, “…it’s time to sleep.”

The iron horse under the eaves swayed, bringing in the loneliness in the wind.Across the curtain, Yao Wenyu saw Qiao Tianya’s shadow cast on the curtain. He seemed to have been standing for a long time. He paused after hearing the sound, then lifted the curtain and came in.

The candlelight is very dim. Yao Wenyu should not be bright at this time. This is the beginning of his weakness and helplessness in a day.The tiger slave got under the quilt, patting the corner of the quilt and playing with it, unaware of the embarrassment in the room.

Before Yao Wenyu could clear his eyes, Qiao Tianya had already leaned over with a calm expression and picked him up from the four-wheeler.When the clothes touched each other, Qiao Tianya put Yao Wenyu’s arm on his shoulder. Yao Wenyu gently curled his fingers when he touched Qiao Tianya’s back.

Yuan Zhuo is very reserved, which is the upbringing of a gentleman.

Qiao Tianya untied Yao Wenyu’s hair, his eyes were focused at this time… so focused that Yao Wenyu couldn’t look at each other and could only lower his eyes to avoid it.When she took off her clothes, Yao Wenyu said softly: “No more.”

Qiao Tianya paused for a moment and did not let go of the hand holding his belt.

Yao Wenyu suddenly tightened his collar, showing an angry look, and said, “No more!”

“What don’t you want?” Qiao Tianya, who had never spoken, looked at him with a calm expression.

Yao Wenyu’s words “Don’t touch me” were stuck in his throat, and he looked at Qiao Tianya with bloodshot eyes, as if Qiao Tianya was some kind of scourge.He’s palms trembled slightly, but he still said: “…No more.”

Yao Wenyu tightened her lips, struggled, pressed Qiao Tianya’s chest, and resisted Qiao Tianya’s touch.

The rattan chair made a squeaking sound, the blurred bronze mirror shook green and white, and the broad robe and black hair were struggling in Qiao Tianya’s arms, like spring leaves eager to escape with the wind.Qiao Tianya let him make trouble, and when he was about to slide to the ground, he suddenly overturned the wicker chair, grabbed Yao Wenyu’s wrist, and pressed it hard between the pillows.

“What do you want to do?” Qiao Tianya held Yao Wenyu’s wrist with one hand and jammed Yao Wenyu’s face with the other, “Do you want me to throw you in like this, or here?”

Yao Wenyu was forced to raise his head, breathing rapidly, closing his eyes and biting his lips until they turned white.Qiao Tianya released the hand that held his chin and placed it between his lips to prevent him from biting it like this.Qiao Tianya’s finger got stuck, and Yao Wenyu bit it as if to vent his anger.

“What are you afraid of?” Qiao Tianya let him bite, his expression slightly cold, “That’s not your fault.”

Yuan Zhuo, who was drunk last night, was very different. He easily forgot the pain in his legs and reacted to the touch in the bathtub.Your young master is also a human being. What he has lost is his legs, not everything about him as a man.He is so young, and he also has secret desires that are not told by others.But he didn’t even have a chance to self-deprecate. He was exposed to Qiao Tianya’s eyes every night – but he didn’t accept such an incompetent self at all.

“What’s wrong,” Qiao Tianya said harshly, “Do you feel aggrieved because I’m not a woman? My skills aren’t that bad yet.”

“Stop talking,” Yao Wenyu showed pain, lying here, he could only shout dejectedly, “Stop talking!”

The wicker chair that rolled to the side hit the small clothes hanger, and the clothes hanger tilted over and hit Qiao Tianya’s back without even blinking.In the flickering candlelight, Qiao Tianya didn’t know where he was angry.

“What do you think of yourself?” Qiao Tianya said, “Do you regard yourself as an immortal? Is it wrong to have sex? You -”

“I don’t!” Yao Wenyu’s eyes were red, his voice was trembling, and he said with great difficulty, “I don’t have that kind of thing… I don’t need it!”

He can’t sink to that point and kill every last bit of dignity.What’s left?He only has this bit of dignity, and this bit of dignity supports him to sit in front of people, sit in front of people with this weak posture, and accept everyone’s mercy.

Yao Wenyu shed tears while trembling. It was something he did not want to do, but the tears were no longer under his control like legs that could not stand.He is ashamed to face himself like this, just as he dare not face up to what is left of him.

Qiao Tianya’s chest rose and fell, and he suddenly turned Yao Wenyu over.

Yao Wenyu had a premonition of something. He opened his eyes in panic. He was hugged by Qiao Tianya from behind and unbuttoned his inner clothes.He struggled violently, pressed Qiao Tianya’s arm, and said: “I don’t want it! Qiao Songyue, let me go, let go-”

Qiao Tianya touched Yao Wenyu’s hand, pulled it into his palm, took it down, and held Yao Wenyu’s shame in an overlapping and covering manner.He held Yao Wenyu like this, and heard Yao Wenyu crying when he crossed his neck.

The dim candlelight went out, and they stuck here closely.Yao Wenyu faced Shushu, her cheeks wet with unbearable shame and anger.There was a suppressed cry in his throat. It was his dignity after being defeated by Qiao Tianya, or he saw himself clearly.He gasped in sobs, his free hand tightly grasping Qiao Tianya’s sleeve, and he felt the desecrated and crushed joy in Qiao Tianya’s sliding palm.

“You killed me…” Yao Wenyu choked up and said hoarsely, “Qiao Songyue… I hate you so much…”

Qiao Tianya’s palm slid, and in the darkness, he was close to Yuan Zhuo’s face, listening to Yao Wenyu’s choking and whispering, and also listening to Yao Wenyu’s breathing and nasal sounds.

“You’re right,” Qiao Tianya whispered to him when he was trembling, hoarsely and seriously, “hate me to death.”
