The sun was shining, the sky was a clear blue, the air was calm, and there wasn't even a breath of wind.
The copper bell on the tower also stopped ringing quietly.
A person in a white dress stood under the tower, holding the tower with one hand, her eyes lightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep.
Not far away, a tall figure stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at her silently.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Ye Lu did not move, only breathing softly.
Shen Tuyi also remained motionless, watching quietly, his deep eyes filled with hers.
He didn't know what others were like, but Ye Lu looked extremely good-looking.
Maybe she didn't even know it, but when she said nothing, she seemed to become another person.
His thin lips pursed slightly, Shen Tuyi's face softened slightly, and even the evil aura between his brows and eyes seemed to have disappeared.
After a while, Ye Lu, who had closed his eyes on Futa, suddenly opened his eyes.
His clear eyes seemed to be soaked in water, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
With a vague sigh, Ye Lu let go of the tower, and then looked at Shen Tuyi, "It is inevitable, this fight will eventually begin."
"Who" looked at her, Shen Tuyi frowned slightly, fighting "Long Zhao is coming back with his troops.
Get ready as soon as possible."
Ye Lu looked at the sky.
Yellow clouds were floating in the sky.
Although others couldn't see it, she could see it clearly.
This is not a good thing, it is a bad sign.
"Long Zhao."
Shen Tuyi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had indeed been honest for too long.
"He was imprisoned in Fengshan for a purpose.
The old emperor secretly summoned him to the palace at that time and gave him the tiger talisman of an army.
Now, it will come in handy.
They haven't set off yet, but if they do , it only takes one night to arrive in the imperial capital, so we should deal with it as soon as possible to avoid making the matter too big."
Ye Lu sighed, this may be Long Zhao's last ditch effort.
Shen Tuyi looked away with a cold expression, "This is a good thing.
He led his troops to force the city, and he forced the one on the dragon throne."
After all, Long Zhi is only the prince now, not the emperor.
In anyone's opinion, his behavior was directed at the person on the throne.
Ye Lu looked at him and shook his head, "I don't understand.
I only know his movements.
These matters need to be discussed by you."
Shen Tuyi raised a hand, held it gently, and after a while said, "There is a way."
"Yeah" Ye Lu looked at him, curious.
"You go back first, I'll go find the prince."
Shen Tuyi came over and raised his hand to touch her head.
"Okay."
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows, knowing that there must be a way to avoid hurting himself.
Shen Tuyi turned around and left.
Ye Lu looked at his back and sighed vaguely.
She raised her hand and touched her forehead.
Inexplicably, she felt a dull pain in her forehead and eyes.
This was not a good symptom.
Ye Lu felt that he had to breathe out and breathe every day, not only to prevent Yingyan from falling asleep, but also to make his body better.

It's been a long time since Shen Tuyi left.
Ye Lu sat on the soft couch and slowly fell into meditation.
Feeling refreshed and smooth all over is a feeling that everyone can become addicted to.
Ye Lu is no exception.
If she wasn't still greedy for this mortal world, she would really want to become a monk.
I don’t care about worldly affairs every day, just meditate quietly, breathe out my breath, and live like a god.
When Mai Tang walked into the room, what she saw was Ye Lu sitting cross-legged on the soft couch.
She was not tired even after sitting like this for several hours, which was also strange for Mai Tang.
Even if she sits cross-legged for a while, her legs will become numb.
Coming over, Mai Tang walked in front of her, but she didn't react.
Then, Mai Tang sat down next to her again, and she didn't seem to know.
Mai Tang couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing her like this now made her feel really happy.
Since you have this ability, then study hard and strive to be the best.
In the past, she deliberately avoided it and muddle along.
But now, she is working hard and Mai Tang is very happy.
Looking at her motionless, Mai Tang also waited quietly.
It was relatively silent, which was actually good.
Finally, half an hour later, Ye Lu made some movement.
Opening her eyes, she was confused for a moment, then came to her senses and turned to look at her side, where Mai Tang was looking at her with a smile.
"Sister, you're back."
Ye Lu arched his eyebrows and straightened his legs, feeling comfortable.
"Well, I've been back for a long time.
You can hold on now.
You really won't be numb if you don't move for such a long time."
Looking at her legs, Mai Tang was really curious.
"It won't be numb, and it's very comfortable.
Sister, if you're interested, I'll teach you."
Standing up, Ye Lu shook his body and felt very comfortable.
"Forget it, I don't have time.
Your Highness and Lord Shentu are still discussing in the study.
I heard that Long Zhao is going to start an uprising."
Mai Tang looked at her and said a little worriedly.
"Well, yes, it's him.
Let me tell you, don't worry.
Shen Tuyi should have a way to prevent His Highness from losing a single soldier.
They are the experts at these things, and we can't do it."
If they are used to these things, they will definitely not be able to do it.
Mai Tang nodded slowly, "That's good.
At the moment, His Highness should not be public.
After all, people's hearts are also very important."
Rights are important, but so are people's hearts.
"That's right.
Moreover, as long as casualties can be avoided this time, then the entire imperial capital will fall into the hands of His Highness, including the palace."
Ye Lu looked at Mai Tang, asking her to be confident.

Mai Tang smiled, "Okay, I will definitely tell His Highness.
But, Xiaolu, there is something I have to tell you.
The city lords in the north have recently sent people to contact His Highness.
There are a few cities that seem to be unstable.
"His Royal Highness is worried about this matter, and is currently thinking about whether he can promise more benefits and salary.
However, I always feel that it is not a problem.
Do you think there is any other way?"
Speaking of this, Mai Tang said.
I can't help but feel a little worried.
If this continues, there may be many disasters.
"It's normal for people to be dissatisfied.
Now that His Highness has ascended to the position of crown prince, they want to take advantage of this opportunity to get more benefits. , they want to take advantage of the situation to gain more benefits, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Well, once things get over here, I will go to the north for a walk myself.
"Ye Lu nodded, this is not a big deal, she can handle it.
"Okay."
Mai Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
With Ye Lu's help, she felt much more at ease.
Ye Lu didn't ask how Shen Tuyi and Long Zhi negotiated.
However, she vaguely guessed a few things and thought they were very smart.
The imperial guards in the city changed their rotation.
The imperial guards belonging to Long Zhi all took a rest.
The imperial guards in the rotation included those of the old emperor and a group of royal guards.
As a result, the old emperor was quite happy, and his mood obviously improved when he went to court.
On the other hand, King Duan made no movement and seemed very quiet.
This person is indeed elusive and always keeps his face secret.
However, even if he kept silent, given his current status, he still had to obey the prince's orders.
Six days later in the afternoon, the commander of the imperial army suddenly fell ill, and the deputy commander was on duty in the palace again.
Therefore, Long Zhi temporarily handed over the task of guarding the city tonight to King Duan.
In fact, this is not a big deal.
When Long Zhao was still the prince, he briefly replaced the imperial army to defend the city several times.
This is actually a more honorable thing, proving that the imperial capital is in his hands.
Long Zhi is busy with the six departments and is also responsible for maintaining order in the city.
It seems that he is really busy.
King Duan accepted this task very quietly.
He kept his expression and seemed not very happy about this task.
The more he acted like this, the more people became suspicious.
Long Zhi also sighed several times.
If he hadn't discovered it early, he would have been in big trouble.
As evening approaches, although the Imperial Capital is still a city that never sleeps, inexplicably, it seems that the city is much cleaner.
In the North City, many large mansions have their doors closed, and although the lights are brightly lit, there seems to be no movement.
The same is true for the magnificent Prince's Mansion.
The door is closed, the guards are motionless, and the maids and servants have also rested.
The glazed lanterns are brightly lit, like daylight.
The copper bell on the tower was silent.
Even if there was wind, the bell seemed not to move, as if it was caught by something.

In the small building next to them, several people were sitting across from each other, but they didn't say a word.
They were as quiet as if they were asleep.
Ye Lu was wearing a white dress, sitting cross-legged on the futon with a calm expression.
On both sides of the front, several chairs were filled with people, including Shen Tu Yi Long Zhi, Mai Tang, Ding Wei and other Long Zhi's confidants.
They remained silent and did not dare to make any move until Ye Lu made a sound.
After all, tonight is very important, and the spies at the front have also sent back news that Long Zhao has indeed led his troops towards the imperial capital.
The soldiers in Long Zhao's hands were the cavalry from the Eastern Frontier Fortress, and the lieutenant general was the cousin of Long Zhao's biological mother.
Although he had expressed his disapproval several times, he was still a relative.
Naturally, he prefers this relative, because after all, it is beneficial to his own development.
In addition, with the old emperor as a guarantee, the cavalry commander is even more determined to stay on the ground.
Suddenly, Ye Lu on the futon opened his eyes wide and clenched his hands on his knees, "Here we come."
Everyone immediately froze and looked at her without blinking, wanting to hear the next step.
"The imperial guards at the south gate belong to King Duan.
They don't know that Long Zhao is back and will let people pass after seeing the token."
Ye Lu didn't blink, what he wanted today was for them to kill him, and Long Zhi was enjoying the benefits of being a fisherman.
Everyone was excited to varying degrees.
This time they killed each other, hoping to kill them all once and for all.
Shen Tuyi looked at her and couldn't help but purse his thin lips.
The evil aura that filled his body was replaced by complacency, which made him feel relaxed.
Ye Lu had never been like this before.
He looked so sure of everything.
It was really hard to imagine that the person who was greedy for life and afraid of death was the same person in front of him.
Two quarters of an hour later, Ye Lu suddenly spoke again, "The fight started."
Ding Wei stood up, but the old man couldn't sit still.
He couldn't watch the battle in person, and he still felt uneasy.
Especially when he heard Ye Lu talking one after another, he felt even more uneasy.
"Don't worry, Mr.
Ding.
King Duan will definitely fight.
For him, this is a good opportunity to show off himself.
He will not let it go."
Ye Lu looked at Ding Wei.
The old man had too many worries.
Although he was extremely intelligent, he could not let go.
The more wisdom you have, the more you like to think wildly.
Ding Wei smoothed his beard, nodded, and then sat down.
Turning to look at Shen Tu Yi, Ye Lu curled his red lips and said, "Everyone should learn from City Master Shen Tu.
He is in good condition.
Don't get too nervous."
Everyone looked at Shen Tuyi, and he was really relaxed, although in their eyes, the evil look on his face was very frightening.
The hands on her knees were slender and white, and her index fingers tapped rhythmically.
She suddenly smiled again, "Long Zhao has appeared.
However, he is a fool and obviously cannot defeat King Duan.
However, the people around him are good.
That cavalry general is a talent, but he’s with the wrong person.”

Looking at her, everyone was anxious to varying degrees and wanted to know what was going on.
Long Zhi had been sitting there calmly, Mai Tang held his hand silently, and he shook it back.
For a moment, the two of them seemed to be indistinguishable.
Ye Lu began to shake her head slowly, and as she shook her head, she smiled faintly, "Tsk, tsk, Long Zhao is such a loser.
Your Highness, let's get started."
As her words fell, Long Zhi immediately stood up, and Mai Tang quickly walked out of the small building with him.
Others stood up one after another, looked at Ye Lu, and then trotted out.
Ye Lu also stood up holding the futon, turned around and walked to the incense niche, picked up three sticks of incense, lit it, raised it above his head and bowed three times, and finally placed the incense in the incense niche.
"King Duan hurt Long Zhao, the old emperor must be very angry.
He can't live a good life.
Kill two birds with one stone, it's done."
Ye Lu turned around and looked at Shen Tuyi, his eyebrows curved.
"As soon as this matter is over, you will go to the north."
Looking at her, Shen Tuyi raised his eyebrows.
"You all know this, but Mai Tang can't keep his words anymore."
Ye Lu curled his lips, Mai Tang told Long Zhi, and Long Zhi Long Zhi, Long Zhi told Shen Tuyi.
There are no secrets here.
"It's getting colder and colder in the north.
You can't do it alone, and the city lord in the north is not from the south.
He doesn't know you, so it's hard to do anything."
Shen Tuyi stood up, walked to her, looked at her condescendingly, and spoke truthfully.
"It's better if you don't know me.
If you do, this matter will be difficult to handle."
Ye Lu chuckled, she already had an idea.
"It seems that you have a plan.
In that case, I will accompany you on this trip to protect your safety and not interfere in your affairs."
Shen Tuyi raised his hand to pick her chin up, and Ye Lu followed suit.
He raised his head.
"Okay, but I don't have any wages to pay you."
Ye Lu opened his hand, walked around him with a crooked eyebrow and walked out of the small building.
The autumn night was a bit cool.
Ye Lu was wearing a white cloak and a hood covering her head.
In this dark night, she looked a bit scary.
Beside him, a tall figure followed him, quickly circling around in the alley.
Suddenly, some noise reached her ears, and Ye Lu couldn't help but frown slightly.
She felt uncomfortable hearing such sounds.
If there was a fight, there would be dead people.
To be honest, she didn't want to go where there were dead people.
Although the fight just now was loud, the people nearby didn't seem to hear it.
The doors and windows were closed, and it was so quiet that even the dogs didn't bark.
There was no one in the alley, but when he turned out of the alley, what he saw was dead and injured everywhere.
Bonfires were jumping, corpses were lying on the ground inside and outside the city gate, and some injured but not dead people were screaming in pain, giving this dark night an inexplicable panic.
Shen Tuyi's expression was slightly cold.
He didn't like this kind of situation.
Killing each other was far less satisfying than killing the enemy.

Those who died because of this war are even more unworthy of death.
The white cloak swayed as Ye Lu walked around.
He raised his feet to avoid the corpses and blood on the ground, and Ye Lu stepped onto the steps of the tower step by step.
Shen Tuyi followed her, always by her side, like the strongest fortress in the world.
After going up to the city tower in a roundabout way, what I saw became clearer.
Outside the city gate all the way to the city bridge, corpses were scattered all over the place.
The smell of blood melted into the air and could not be dispersed no matter how much the wind blew.
After looking inside and outside, Ye Lu sighed silently, "Although it was not caused by me, I still feel uneasy."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and silently recited the rebirth mantra.
Shen Tuyi looked at her and shook his head slightly.
The kindness in her heart was still there, and it seemed that there was no need to worry that one day she would become as cruel and ruthless as Yi Zhu.
The cold wind blew stronger than before.
They blew away the smell of blood inside and outside the city gate in an instant.
The air was cool, but it didn't smell like blood.
The imperial army brought by Long Zhi detained the remaining troops of the cavalry and took away King Long Zhaoduan and others.
The remaining imperial troops began to collect the corpses inside and outside the city gate with swift movements.
After a long time, on the tower, Ye Lu slowly opened his eyes, "Look, even though they are very murderous, their good intentions are still there in their bones, and they left with the death curse."
"You also do this thing of salvation."
Shen Tuyi lowered his eyes and looked at her, with a hint of smile in his deep eyes.
"I can't bear it.
If you want me to be that cold-blooded person, I can't do it."
Ye Lu looked up at him and smiled.
She was a kind person.
"It's good to do this, so as not to add more resentment to the imperial capital."
For Shen Tuyi, his own evil aura was no match for the resentment of the imperial capital.
"The resentment in the imperial capital is indeed strong, but the hatred of City Lord Shentu is even more obvious.
How about this, I will recite a heart-clearing spell for you to ensure that you are comfortable."
Ye Lu grabbed his hand and wrapped her in a white cloak. , smiling, as sweet as honey.
Even if there is really a lot of hatred in my heart, looking at the person in front of me, no amount of hatred will disappear.
Shen Tuyi raised his hand to hold her in his arms, tightening his arms to keep her close to him.
Ye Lu laughed out loud and raised his hands to wrap around his waist, "When the Five Kings become a big deal, I will go back to Shentu City with you.
Then be sure to keep Old Man Xu behind to find a solution for us.
In this life. , I won’t leave Shentu City.”
"Okay."
Shen Tuyi raised his hand to cover the back of her head and couldn't help but yearn for her.
"I just don't know what's going on with old man Xu, and I have no contact with him.
Oh, it's really worrying."
Sighing, Ye Lu shook his head slightly, waiting for him to come back, and he didn't know how long it would take.
"Don't worry, someone has been waiting for Mr.
Xu.
If he appears, he will definitely notify me as soon as possible."
Shen Tuyi hugged her, so petite that she would only be felt when she was in his arms.
Need protection.
"I'm waiting."
Ye Lu moved his head, put his ear against his chest, and looked through the dark night into the endless distance.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It was dark in the distance, with some faint shadows of mountains, but they were blurry and invisible.
Looking at the dark night, Ye Lu slowly narrowed her eyes, a chill rising up the back of her neck, causing her to immediately tense up.
"What's wrong?"
She was in his arms, and Shen Tuyi could feel her movements clearly.
Ye Lu stood up straight and looked towards the boundless night.
"There seems to be someone staring at me there."
Pointing to the far end of the night, she said slowly.
Shen Tuyi looked over.
He couldn't see anything from such a distance.
However, he couldn't even see it, and Ye Lu should be even less able to see it
