Chapter 9 Drinking Water as a Source
Su Yongqi sighed, "If it were a Yanlong man, he would not poison the dragon well. This is the tea of his hometown, which has the taste of his hometown."
When she said this, the slightly older woman suddenly stared for a moment and seemed to be a little distracted. The girl smiled and said, "Really? Then drink it quickly."
Su Yong smiled lightly, and the cup in his hand slowly tilted.
"No." The woman who made the tea suddenly shouted.
But Su Yong has already taken a small sip at this moment. He felt the fragrance of tea echoing between his teeth and sighed, "It's really the best Longjing, good tea."
At this time, the tall figure who came out from behind the door smiled and said, "So, why didn't General Su swallow it?"
I didn't expect that even the sound of my swallowing and the trembling change of my throat could not escape the other party's perception. Su Yong stood up with a wry smile and bowed deeply, "I've seen the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince is really like lightning."
When he saw the two women just now, he was a little suspicious. It was not until he saw the other party's facial features clearly, which were very similar to the emperor in the capital, that he confirmed his idea.
He has been to Beijing, and naturally he has heard some anecdotes about the palace. The emperor of the previous dynasty gave birth to nine sons. As a result, in addition to the second son ascending the treasure hall and holding the world, the eighth son was rumored to be wandering around the world, the remaining seven died as early as childhood, and the causes of death were also various.
Some died of strange diseases, some were assassinated, some were accidentally "falling to death" while playing in the palace courtyard, and some were said to have disappeared. I don't know what monster rushed out and taken away at night... At that time, Su Yong felt that these reasons were extremely ridiculous.
That's the palace, and there are countless masters guarding the palace. Although the three venerable people were not stationed in the backyard at that time, how many assassins could break into the heavy land in the world? As for the two people who died of illness, Su Yong was not very suspicious. Although there are many royal doctors in the palace, there are many terminal diseases these days. Don't say that there is no way for a royal doctor to be a magic doctor.
The reason why he fell to death is the most far-fetched. It's a dragon seed guarded by thousands of people, and it's not the bowls of the god just now.
Isn't there something wrong with this?
As for the missing one, he later thought that it might be related to the strangeness in the harem, which was the most reasonable.
But for so many years, the poor little prince who was taken away by the monster disappeared like evaporation in the world. The people in Kyoto only knew that except for the emperor, there was only one eighth prince left.
Of course, he learned more about it. Because Wu Lecheng once mentioned to him that in fact, Yanlong should have four military kings, and it is the name that is not included that can be said to be the real "king", because he is born with dragon species.
The eighth prince's martial arts skills are extremely high, but he can't be in charge of the army in the end, which is naturally related to the scruples of the man in Beijing.
Su Yong of course knows these reasons. The emperor has his own concerns, which have not changed for thousands of years.
At this time, the girl covered her mouth and exclaimed, "You... How do you know? Do you know my father?"
The majestic middle-aged strong man turned his head to look at her. The girl immediately closed her mouth tightly like a child who had done something wrong, and once again dodged behind her sister.
It's just that the Eighth Prince Su Yong sees now is not as casual as the legend. The wrinkles engraved on his face just shows that he is an extremely persistent person.
The Eighth Prince did not wear a robe embroidered with dragon pythons to symbolize the royal atmosphere. A gray gown made him look a little depressed, but the magnificent momentum in the shirt was not affected at all, and he was still powerful. At this moment, he looked at Su Yong quietly for a long time before he said, "We Yanlong are really strange people. I am also very gratified to see such young heroes as General Su this time."
Su Yong was vigilant, and his true qi had flowed all over his body. He smiled and replied, "The Eighth Prince has been traveling overseas for many years. I think he also has a love of his hometown. It's time to go back to visit more..." He paused and didn't say the following words that would concern the emperor.
But the eighth prince has already sighed first, "Go home... Can I still go home?" Although the wrinkles on his face have unfolded at this moment, the hair behind his ears seems to be a few more white, and this long sigh seems to be extremely vicissitudes.
He stared at Su Yong again. He looked very carefully, as if he saw the frequency of each other party's breathing every time. After a long time, he sighed softly, "General Su is so young that he has entered the Tao. It's really talented. But... the emperor you know is not what you think at all."
Speaking of the end, he is already very fierce.
"I didn't imagine it, but I will watch it." Su Yong's face also became solemn.
The eighth prince stared at him, suddenly smiled and shouted, "It's so bold. I think I had the same spirit as you when I was young." He walked slowly a few steps, picked up another cup of Longjing from the table, sniffed deeply, and then slowly drank it down.
"Do you know why there are only two of our nine brothers left in the end? Do you know why I want to go abroad for a long time? The eighth prince pinched the porcelain cup in his hand into pieces, and the white porcelain grains kept flowing down his palm: "Do you believe that I am really a casual wanderer?"
The emperor's family affairs can't be managed by others. Su Yong was silent for a long time and suddenly asked, "Chiye Takeo, what's your relationship with the prince?"
"Yes, he is my apprentice." The Eighth Prince's eyes narrowed slightly, but he let go in an instant and looked at him with a smile: "I know Chi Ye has died under your knife."
"With your current strength, he died unjustly." The eighth prince sighed slightly: "He is my most proud disciple. Although he has learned ninjutsu before, most of his martial arts are taught by me, and his family is also very good to me."
Su Yong nodded. No wonder Chino Takeo, his brother, and the Yamaguchi Hoshino could speak Yanlongyu before. They must have been influenced by the Eighth Prince. These eight princes have not only General Hoshino Yamaguchi, who guarded the dwarf Kyoto, but also the commander of the Eastern Expedition who went to the Yanlong Sea, but also the wind and water here.
He meditated for a long time, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly whispered, "What about... Master Yun?"
The eighth prince's face changed, and he suddenly turned his head and looked at his two daughters: "You go out first."
The sister seems to have something to say before she left. She glanced at Su Yong and turned her head to her father, who was about to open her mouth. The Eighth Prince frowned and waved his hand and shouted, "Go out."
She was stunned and had to take her sister's hand and walk out. It's just that the naughty sister walked out of the door and couldn't forget to make a grimace at him.
After his daughter went far away, the Eighth Prince turned to look at him and said in a low voice, "How much do you know?"
Su Yong's heart sank. He sighed sadly and said, "It doesn't matter how much I know. But since the prince drinks Longjing tea and has Yanlong's heart in his heart, he should not communicate with foreign enemies and attack our Yanlong compatriots. Do you know how many Yanlong people have been killed by the Japanese pirates on the southeast front line?
Previously, he admitted that Chino Takeo was his disciple, but he didn't care much. After all, this matter seemed to be triggered by the emperor of the dwarf Japan. He just happened to teach a disciple. But at this moment, he asked so rhetorically that he undoubtedly participated in this plan, and even the one who contributed the most.
At this moment, his blood knife has been slowly pulled out, and there is a palpitating sound of friction in the scabbard. He said coldly, "Su Yong may not be the prince's opponent."
Then he turned one end of his face and said with a straight face, "But the national thief is now, and he must be killed."
