Chapter 194: Is this how you play the Ghost Circle?
Jian Yue looked at the water stains on the table, on which the word "Emperor" was clearly written.
The scholar was really a very careful person. After making sure that Jian Yue had seen it, he wiped off the water marks completely.
"Of course." The scholar said, "No matter what difficulties you have, we will do our best to help you."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
The rude younger brother looked at the wine glass that had fallen to the ground, patted Jian Yue's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, look how scared you made your brother. How could he not be afraid of such a big thing! Don't be afraid, brother, we are all here and we won't leave you alone!"
Jian Yue came back to his senses. He asked, "Is there any factual basis for this speculation?"
The scholar said, "I believe you must have discovered that those bones cannot be killed. They keep regenerating, just like a snake ring, endlessly. This is because they have actually lost their lives a long time ago. It is the poisonous snakes in their bodies that control them. In ancient times, this kind of snakes lived in the mines. They were accidentally discovered by the Xue family, and then domesticated and used as Da Qian's killing weapons to conquer all directions. The soldiers possessed by them were painless and uninjured, and they were immortal and sleepless."
"That's right, it's very difficult to kill." The younger brother said while biting a chicken leg, "This thing can't feel pain and has no weaknesses. It's endless. We almost died in the underground palace at that time."
The scholar waved his fan and said, "We found a torn book left by an old friend of the Xue family in the underground palace. They trained poisonous snakes and used them to control a large number of assassins. The emperor at that time felt threatened, so he wanted to execute the entire Xue family."
Jian Yue raised his eyebrows and ate a peanut: "Then why did he want to make the descendant of the Xue family the emperor?"
The scholar smiled and said, "Because the King of Chu has always hated poisonous snakes, and the people of Daqian all believe in the temple, the late emperor was afraid that his extreme measures would make it difficult for the people to accept the facts and cause a civil uprising, so he made this expedient measure."
Jian Yue drank some water to relieve the hunger caused by low blood sugar, then smiled and said, "So that's how it is. What you said makes sense."
The scholar was just about to be happy.
"But there is a contradiction." Jian Yue said: "You said that the late emperor felt threatened by the poisonous snake and wanted to execute the Xue family. Then why did the King of Chu, who also hated the poisonous snake, keep it, and even keep a national teacher who is good at controlling the power of the poisonous snake and the queen mother to supervise the country?"
The scholar said: "Of course it is because Daqian's current national strength does not allow it to completely get rid of the Gu Snake."
Jian Yue smiled, and when he smiled like that, the scholar knew that something bad was going to happen.
really.
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Look, you also think that Da Qian can't completely get rid of the Gu snake at this time, so how can the King of Chu get rid of the Gu snake once he succeeds? If Xue's last wish is to exterminate the Gu snake, then the King of Chu who knows about the underground palace is also a big worry, right?"
The scholar's hands suddenly tightened. He had been at ease from the beginning. Even in the verbal confrontation, there was a sense of superiority in the conversation, because they had more information in their hands, and he was confident that he could control the overall situation.
But he was inadvertently led astray by the person in front of him!
This person is not a good person.
When the scholar and Jian Yue looked at each other, both of them were smiling, and they both felt that the other was not a good person.
The audience in the live broadcast room were a little excited:
"Hahahaha, these two cunning anchors bumped into each other."
"This is so beautiful! I must share it on the forum hahaha."
"Shusheng is a very vicious person, but he was actually quite cute when he was a rookie."
"They are only thinking about completing the mission at this time. Without the betrayal and intrigue in the later dungeons, they are definitely not that vicious. In fact, he had to be cruel in order to protect his brother. I think Butler Wang is really lucky. All the big guys he met in this dungeon still have consciences."
The live broadcast room has already started a heated discussion.
And inside the box.
The only one who was not in the right state and could not hear good or bad words, the younger brother who was eating the chicken leg, chewed and chewed while passing a chicken leg to Jian Yue and said: "Oh mom, why does this stuff smell so good."
Chew chew chew.
The younger brother handed the duck meat to the scholar and said, "Brother, what he said makes sense. You should eat it too..."
The fan hit his head again.
After the scholar hit his stupid brother, he smiled at Jian Yue and made a move: "Manager Wang, didn't I say that as long as we get rid of the only person who can control the poisonous snake, this mission will be completed naturally. Even if the King of Chu ascends the throne, it will not have any impact, right?"
Jian Yue took the chicken leg and chewed it while accepting the challenge. He said, "You also said that the Xue family's wish is to make the Gu snake no longer be controlled. The people who trained it in the beginning were the Xue family, but the Xue family's bloodline is gone. Can't the King of Chu who stayed behind train and control it again? What you said actually doesn't solve the problem fundamentally."
The scholar was stunned.
Jian Yue smiled at him and said, "So you see, this plan is still not comprehensive enough."
The scholar narrowed his eyes and said, "What Wang Zongguan means is..."
Now it was Jian Yue's turn to write on the table.
"Pah"
Now it was the scholar's turn to have his wine glass smashed on the table, and the word "Chu" was clearly visible on the table.
"Kill him." Jian Yue approached the scholar with a bewitching smile on his face: "Only you can do it."
In the scholar's frozen smile.
Jian Yue did not forget to add fuel to the fire, imitating the scholar's sarcastic tone just now: "Don't worry, no matter what difficulties you have, we will help you."
Scholar: “…”
The younger brother didn't know what was written, he just heard this sentence, chewed and came over and said: "Brother, you are a very nice person! I am a very nice person!"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "It should be."
The smile that the scholar was trying to maintain on his face was finally about to break.
The audience in the live broadcast room were really happy to see this scene:
“Ahahahahaha, what a famous scene.”
"This is the first time I've seen someone make a scholar so angry."
"How come the three of them are so cute."
Jian Yue continued to eat his food, and gave the scholar a look and said, "What do you think?"
The scholar's smile was a little stiff: "I remember that you are the spy arranged by the prince, right? Since the prince is your master, how dare you say that?"
Jian Yue almost forgot about this identity. He said, "Isn't this a mission? And think about it, since no matter who we kill, it is impossible to completely eliminate this possibility, why can't we directly find the base camp of the Gu snake and find a way to eliminate the Gu snake from the source? In this way, this will really solve the problem, right?"
The scholar frowned: "How easy is that?"
This is what it means not to cooperate.
Jian Yue was not in a hurry. He swallowed a few more mouthfuls of food, smiled at his younger brother who kept picking up chicken legs for him, and leaned close to the scholar's ear: "You want to help the King of Chu ascend to the throne. Do you think you can win by getting rid of us? You are too naive. You know that the King of Chu was ungrateful for killing the king. Do you think he can really let you and your brother live?"
The scholar froze.
"You can think about it." Jian Yue took a step back and said, "Come and see me at the banquet tomorrow."
He walked outside.
The younger brother shouted, "Brother, you don't want to eat anymore?"
Jian Yue said, "I'm full. Thank you both for your hospitality. I'll have someone prepare a table of good wine and food for you at the banquet tomorrow."
The younger brother said happily: "That's great! Brother, you are so loyal!"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "No, no, I'm waiting for you."
He bowed to the two people and then turned and left.
When he walked outside, the whole restaurant was bustling with activity. There was a fragrant aroma that made him dizzy. He had eaten something and suddenly felt like vomiting. He saw that Huangfu Chengyu had not come out of the box yet, so he asked the servant who was guarding the stairwell for directions and wanted to go wash up.
The servant quickly led the people downstairs.
Jian Yue found the bathroom and washed his face before he felt much better. When he came out, he suddenly heard a faint conversation coming from a private room downstairs:
"How's the production of that batch of paintings going?"
"Don't worry, it's almost done."
"Just send it to the palace..."
Jian Yue suddenly stopped walking. They were talking about painting.
The paintings in the palace have always had big problems. They are said to be praying for the country, but in fact there are problems behind each painting. These paintings were hung at the order of the imperial master, so they must have a source. Who made them and what were they made of?
Jian Yue wanted to hear more.
But the sound inside became smaller and smaller, and just when he was getting a little anxious.
A man in fancy clothes was holding a boy in his arms. He was obviously drunk and was walking outside tremblingly. He couldn't wait any longer on the way and directly pressed the boy against the wall and kissed him. The boy couldn't help but said, "Sir, I am a zither performer. I am waiting for you in your room to serve you. Please let me go..."
The man in the gorgeous blue robe saw the person in his arms struggling and suddenly slapped him in the face.
The little boy's face was swollen, and from Jian Yue's perspective he could even see clear bloodstains.
"Fuck you, you are shameless." The man in the blue robe cursed, "I am giving you face by liking you, do you really think you are a dish? You are such a slut from a place like this, how dare you say no?"
As he spoke, he pulled people forward.
When he passed by Jian Yue, he pushed him and cursed, "What are you looking at?"
The boxes on each floor are divided into different classes, so the young man in blue robe naturally feels that there is no one on this floor that he cannot offend.
Jian Yue frowned, grabbed the shoulder of the person who was about to leave, and said, "Wait a moment."
The blue-robed young man turned around and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"You pushed my clothes and made them dirty." Jian Yue said, "These are new clothes that my master prepared for me. You have to apologize to me."
The blue-robed young man was about to turn around and curse: "Who the hell are you..."
As a result, when he turned around, he met Jian Yue's face. Jian Yue was wearing a light blue brocade robe with a jade button around her waist. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her eyes were especially clear and bright. There was an aura that was different from this brothel. When being looked at by those eyes, one would have the urge to defile this purity.
"You are so beautiful." The young master changed the subject abruptly, a shrewd and lustful light flashed in his eyes, and he pushed the person in his arms aside: "Which box are you from?"
Jian Yue caught the man who almost fell to the ground, and whispered, "Go."
The waiter ran away quickly.
Jian Yue originally intended to punch the man in front of him, but then he changed his mind and decided to go with the flow because he wanted to know about the painting. He said, "He's from the upstairs box. Come over to get some fresh air."
The blue-robed young master was filled with lust and quickly came over to hold Jian Yue's hand and said, "Follow me, I'll take care of you tonight."
Jian Yue hesitated and said, "This is not a good idea. My master is still waiting for me."
"Who is your master?" The blue-robed young man was drunk. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Do you know who my adoptive father is? He is the imperial teacher of the current dynasty. He is the most powerful person!"
National teacher.
I knew it was related to the national teacher.
Jian Yue pretended to be surprised and said, "So he is the son of the Imperial Master."
The man in blue robe grabbed Jian Yue and said, "That's good to know. Why don't you hurry up and follow me?!"
He forcefully pulled Jian Yue towards the innermost private room in the building.
In the largest box on the rooftop, Huangfu Chengyu and the King of Chu stood up. When they walked outside, the King of Chu discovered that his two advisers were gone, and the Emperor discovered that his steward was gone.
The King of Chu asked the guard at the door: "What's going on?"
The guard said, "The master has invited Wang the chief steward to have dinner."
The King of Chu smiled at Huangfu Chengyu and said, "My two advisors are very hospitable."
Huangfu Chengyu's expression remained unchanged. He said, "Lead the way."
The guards hurried to the small private room, but there were only two people inside. The scholar was a little surprised and said, "Butler Wang just said he was going downstairs to wash up and get some fresh air. Hasn't he come back yet?"
Everyone's expression changed slightly.
King Chu said, "Go downstairs and take a look."
They all went downstairs together. The area downstairs was generally not visited by many people. It was rather messy, with people from all walks of life, and more often than not, it was more promiscuous. The guards searched in front and soon found a waiter.
The waiter trembled and said, "Yes, there was a young man who was taken away by Master Ji. In order to save me, that young man..."
As he spoke, the young waiter burst into tears.
The Emperor and the King of Chu both looked unhappy, and the two scholars behind them also looked unhappy.
Everyone changes in their own way.
When we walked to the last box together, we could hear the sound coming from inside, which was a faint muffled groan.
Mr. Li: “Ah!”
A clear groaning sound was heard, causing the people who were passing by to stop in their tracks.
"Oh!" Master Li shouted again, "Be gentle! Don't! Too hard!!!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone's expression suddenly changed.
Especially Huangfu Chengyu's face had become somewhat cold. The gloomy aura and eyes full of hostility frightened the scholar next to him. He had heard outside the Great Wall before that the emperor was moody and had terrible means, but it was only hearsay. He always felt that the emperor was not yet fully grown, and with the pressure from the imperial teacher and the empress dowager, he was probably just an empty shell.
Now looking at it, he was actually a little frightened.
This guy is probably a ruthless character. If he hadn't been poisoned, the King of Chu would have been his opponent.
Just thinking about it.
Master Li's voice came from inside the room again: "Ah...be gentle!"
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open.
Not only were the people outside shocked, but the people inside were even more shocked. After everyone went in, they saw Master Li tied to the ground, and Jian Yue was beating him with a board that he had gotten from somewhere.
Young Master Li was still howling: "Be gentle, stop hitting me!!!"
Everyone: “…”
Audience in the live broadcast room:
“Hahahahahaha!”
"Mr. Li, why did you mess with him?"
"The scene of catching an adulterer turned into an eyewitness."
"Don't be so funny, I say."
Everyone was somewhat stunned by the scene before them.
Jian Yue was also a little surprised. How come they finished eating so quickly? No, why are they here? !
Master Li saw someone coming, but he couldn't see who it was, so he thought it was one of his men, and he wailed, "Quick, come and capture this audacious slave!"
Seeing that no one else spoke, the scholar spoke for them. He cleared his throat and said, "Catch him and then what?"
"Catch him! Tie him to the bed!" Although Master Li felt the voice was a little strange, he was very excited and shouted, "I must fight back!"
Everyone fell silent again.
Although Mr. Li is stupid, he is really lustful.
However, Master Li on the ground didn't know that the storm was about to come. Master Li was still howling, "Why aren't you moving? What are you waiting for? Come here quickly! Do you know who I am? How dare you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked hard from behind.
This kick almost broke the person's bones. The seemingly casual kick was powerful enough.
Young Master Li's howl was like a pig being slaughtered. Huangfu Chengyu looked down at the man on the ground with a cold gaze. The man's voice slowly fell and said, "Who are you?"
Master Li rolled on the ground in agony, which finally attracted people from other boxes. At first, everyone thought that this was some kind of play, but the scream was so piercing that it was impossible to say that it was a sexual act.
Especially after he reacted and realized that the person in the box was the youngest son of the current Grand Tutor. It can be said that the Grand Tutor's power is very great, second only to the Prime Minister and the Imperial Master. The Grand Tutor has been working under the Imperial Master for many years and is considered a very prominent person.
The Grand Tutor who came running over had just put on his clothes, and they even looked a little messy. He heard the screams and walked in angrily, still shouting, "Who, who dares to make trouble here? My son, what's wrong with you? Who dares to bully you? I'll..."
The Grand Master of Rites came running over with his sleeves rolled up, but when he entered the room, he was shocked to see the people in the room. There were only a few people in the room. He first saw the King of Chu, who was dressed in fancy clothes and looked very romantic, and his eyes went dark. Then he saw the man in the purple robe who looked rich and powerful on the other side, and his eyes went dark again! !
The Grand Tutor in question was even afraid to close his eyes for a moment, thinking it was an illusion caused by drinking too much.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” The Grand Tutor could not even speak clearly and began to stutter. Then he looked at the person behind the Emperor and said, “King, King, King, King…”
The King of Chu was the first to burst out laughing. He said jokingly, "When did the Grand Master learn to bark like a dog?"
If the Grand Master still couldn't hear the ulterior motive here, he would have lived in vain. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't know you and His Majesty were here. I am guilty!"
Huangfu Chengyu stood not far away. His tone was slow, but his words were cold, which made people feel nervous. "Wasn't the Grand Master looking for someone to cause trouble here just now? What did he want?"
What the Grand Tutor feared most was the Emperor. The Emperor was a man of unpredictable moods, and you never knew whether his words meant a punishment or something else.
Unfortunately, Master Li, who was not far away, did not have this ability to read people’s expressions. His leg bone was broken and he cried in pain: “Dad… Dad! It was this man who beat me… He was the one who caused the trouble, it has nothing to do with me! You have to make the decision for me!”
Before I came in, I just thought he was seriously injured.
But when he came in, he saw that his son was tied up. Not only was he tied up, but his leg was broken for some reason. There was also a beautiful person holding a wooden board standing next to him. The Grand Tutor certainly knew his son's character, but in the Grand Tutor's mind, His Majesty and the Prince were such noble people, how could they personally vent their anger for their servants? So it must have been Jian Yue who beat him! !
Because Jian Yue had just taken office recently, the Grand Tutor thought he was just an ordinary servant!
Since when will a servant be able to bully his own son!
The Grand Tutor felt so sorry for his son that he wanted to convict Jian Yue in front of the Emperor and the princes without a second thought, and said, "Your Majesty, this servant actually dared to beat the Grand Tutor's son. This is really a crime of insubordination. I have devoted my life to Daqian and have never made any mistakes. Even if my son has made mistakes, he should not endure such humiliation. Your Majesty, please punish him severely..."
Just saying.
A golden light appeared in front of Jian Yue:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Rumor: The Grand Master is a frequent visitor to brothels, especially fond of male homosexuality. He wanted to rebel in his early years but didn't have the courage. He especially liked to wear a fake dragon robe and play the game of choosing a concubine by picking a brand when playing with several other brothels. This robe is still in the next box! ]
“…”
As soon as the gossip news fell.
The room seemed to be silent for a moment.
The Grand Tutor was so shocked that his whole body trembled and he looked at Jian Yue in disbelief.
Jian Yue also glanced at the old Grand Tutor. When their eyes met, Jian Yue glanced at the Grand Tutor and thought to himself, Grand Tutor, your beard is almost white, but you are still strong and healthy. You are old but your heart is not old! !
I thought your son was a freak, but he is nothing compared to you. He dares to play such a game. I didn’t expect you are such a master! !
The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned:
"My cosplay!"
"Compared to them, I am an old antique!"
“Hahahaha this isn’t the first time I’ve watched this livestream. Is the Goblin Circle so good at playing?”
"I'm not dying of laughter, the Grand Tutor looks like he's about to burst. Who's going to care about his life or death? Hahaha!"
