After being dedicated to the villain

Chapter 35

That night when the old Taoist temple caught fire, not only Duan Lingyao was frightened, but also Prince Rong's son.

After the assassin's interrogation, Duan Lingyao confessed to Prince Rong's son and revealed something.

Prince Rong's son was shocked and sent a letter home angrily, and some things changed quietly.

The changes are inextricably linked, no matter how much Chen Zixu wants to stay out of it, he can't pretend not to know.

In the roadside teahouse, there are a plate of cakes, a plate of fresh dates, a plate of roasted dried fruits, a plate of salt and pepper river prawns, and a pot of good tea on the table.

Duan Lingyao poured a cup of tea for the person opposite, and said leisurely: "Master Chen, you are welcome, these are ordered for you, hurry up and taste."

Chen Zixu shook his head helplessly, seeing the smile on his face, he couldn't help saying: "Young master is in a good mood."

Duan Lingyao asked in surprise, "Is it obvious?"

Chen Zixu said: "Yes."

Duan Lingyao then said: "It's natural to be happy if you get what you want. It would be even better if Mr. Chen could make the young master happier. After all, he has agreed to everything he said. Prince Rong will support the third prince. If Mr. Chen has any ideas, he should do so as soon as possible." say something."

Chen Zixu couldn't help asking: "I'm just curious how many of them were done on purpose by the young man. You and your elder brother... you really don't look like your second brother."

Duan Lingyao was in high spirits, and he didn't feel disobedient at all.

The moment Duan Lingyao saw the arrow hit by Zhao Xiaozhi, Duan Lingyao understood the enemy's purpose.

In fact, from the very beginning, when some people tried their best to get Zhao Xiaozhi to take the task of escorting Duan Lingyao out of Beijing, he guessed what they were thinking.

The Zhao family army is a pure minister who does not form cliques but only loyal to the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty especially favors him, offending the Zhao family is tantamount to offending the Holy Majesty.Zhao Xiaozhi is famous for his upright temper among the Zhao family's children. It is almost unnecessary to guess that he will inevitably conflict with Duan Lingyao along the way.

Some people want Duan Lingyao to kill Zhao Xiaozhi. With Duan Lingyao's status, only Zhao Xiaozhi's death can really cause conflicts between him, the Zhao family army, and the Holy Majesty.

But Duan Lingyao didn't make any move, so they couldn't hold back anymore.

Duan Lingyao felt very ridiculous, laughing at their stupidity, so stupid that they couldn't see the real attitude of the Holy Majesty, so stupid that they didn't understand the situation outside the court, so stupid that they could come up with so many conspiracies and tricks.

But the more stupid they are, the better for Duan Lingyao.

He followed his plan and allowed Zhao Xiaozhi to be injured, deliberately angering the Zhao family army—in fact, it would be better if Zhao Xiaozhi died, and death would arouse the Zhao family army's anger even more.It's a pity that his fate is relatively high. With the help of Song Sijin, who suddenly surprised people, the plan went well anyway, and Duan Lingyao didn't care that he was still alive.

When the fire broke out that night, Lan Chi made another move, and the people Duan Lingyao arranged in advance rescued Zhao Xiaozhi.

According to the plan, they planned to let Lan Chi go down the mountain, ask their own people to follow in secret, follow the vines to find the stronghold and evidence, and if there is no evidence left, they will forge a little... Then after returning to Beijing, when the court fiercely attacked Duan Lingyao inside and outside the court, they released the upside down in one fell swoop. situation.

At that time, everyone will be furious, but they suddenly find out that the princelings are behind the scenes. It must be very exciting.

At this point, not only the crown prince will be frustrated, Zhao Jiajun and the Holy Majesty will benefit Duan Lingyao and the third prince out of guilt.

This is one of them.

The other ring is Prince Rong.

Duan Lingyao wrote a fake letter to mislead Lan Chi to send the letter back, making them think that Prince Rong had already chosen to support the third prince.

Lan Chi's assassination of Zhao Xiaozhi was actually to pretend that Zhao Xiaozhi found out that Prince Rong's son had colluded with Duan Lingyao, so Duan Lingyao murdered him to silence him.

When the time comes back to Beijing, the crowd will be excited, not only will they scold Duan Lingyao for being inhumane, but they will also scold the third prince, Duke Xin and Prince Rong for forming a party... When the "truth" comes out, it is obvious that it is Prince Rong who has been scolded for no reason Even if you don't support the third prince, you will never support the prince.

Just thinking about this scene makes Duan Lingyao extremely happy, he likes to see other people look ashamed, embarrassed and frightened the most.

Unfortunately, the plan went a bit wrong.

Duan Lingyao didn't expect that Lan Chi, an assassin, would have the leisure to hook up with Song Sijin.

Song Sijin was taken away by him during the fire that night, and Duan Lingyao was almost frightened to death. He didn't care about the shocking scene of the dogs that he was thinking about, and led people to search in the mountains overnight.

Later... don't mention it.

Fortunately, he was found.

Now the plan is not perfect, the assassin is caught in advance, the assassin is interrogated in advance, and the dogs are not shocked, but the result is still satisfactory.

After increasing the scale, Chen Zixu and Mr. Pei Ge must no longer be able to insist on being alone.

It's a pity that Chen Zixu was really not that easy to talk to. Chen Zixu picked up the green tea and sipped it slowly, watching the people coming and going on the street, and saw a tall and thin young man in bamboo green clothes.

The young man's name was Song Sijin, with a handsome and elegant face, followed by two tall male servants.

He didn't go far, just wandered around the teahouse, he was curious about every stall, even if they sold similar things, he could stand aside and look curiously for a long time.

It can be seen that he is a very frugal person and also has a very meek temperament. Every time he buys something, he tries to bargain with the boss.But this man who has been doing business for a long time can see his temper at a glance, and he turned his tongue, not only did not talk about the price, but also bought more things.

Chen Zixu knew him, even if he didn't know himself.

Thinking of this person's identity, Chen Zixu couldn't help asking: "Little Lord, do you really want to marry a man?"

Duan Lingyao leaned back with a grin, without changing his smile: "Why, Mr. Chen can't understand it? Could it be that you think I'm not polite, so you're still hesitating?"

What does it have to do with this? The corners of Chen Zixu's mouth twitched. He asked this question purely as Duan Lingyao's brother and friend, and he just cared about it.

"It's up to you, it just seems like they don't want to marry you, so be careful not to become a married couple in the future."

Duan Lingyao said: "You don't have to worry about that, no matter how much you complain, you can't blame the present."

Oh, it really was forced.

Chen Zixu smiled slightly: "I heard that he was also on the mountain that night and tried to escape with the assassin. Young master, are you sure he has no second thoughts?"

Duan Lingyao lowered his eyes, and looked at the man on the street from the corner of his eye: "Is it because I didn't speak clearly enough or what? If you doubt him, you doubt me. I will deal with my people myself."

Chen Zixu pointed out: "It doesn't matter if I suspect, but what if Prince Rong suspects, the third prince suspects, Xin Guogong suspects, and Mrs. Zhao suspects?"

Duan Lingyao rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, everyone knows that he just wanted to leave after being confused by Lan Chi's beauty for a while, and he had no other thoughts."

Some time ago, Duan Lingyao cried and told his fiancé to wear a cuckold for him. He didn't care about his reputation at all, and talked about it without any scruples. When people saw him like this, they naturally didn't have any scruples. Both the fiancé and the adulterer are beautiful, but luck is really bad, neither the fiancé nor the adulterer is a good thing.

Love affairs related to the rich and powerful have always been discussed by the public after dinner, and the exciting scandal of wearing a cuckold is even more popular among the public. You talk about it, he talks about it, needless to say, everyone feels so.

Seeing that Duan Lingyao had his own thoughts, Chen Zixu stopped talking.

Then the two discussed some trivial matters, and Duan Lingyao revealed a lot of useful things from the assassin's mouth, including their stronghold and some lists.

It was inconvenient for Duan Lingyao to walk around. Before returning to Beijing to detonate the matter, he hoped that Chen Zixu would help him deal with some matters.

After the conversation was over, it was already evening, and Duan Lingyao went downstairs.

Not far away, there was a small stall selling peanut soup. White steam kept rising, and the sweet smell wafted along the street. Song Sijin was sitting in it drinking the soup.

A round of golden sun fell from Tianheyuan, dyeing the street scene with a bit of warmth, as if it would not be so cold this way.

Xin Qing reminded: "Second Young Master Song, the young master has come down."

Song Sijin put down the spoon and hurriedly ran over to greet him: "Let's go back."

Duan Lingyao tilted his head, looking at the rare expectation and enthusiasm in his eyes: "What are you drinking, it smells good."

"Peanut soup, do you want to try it?"

When the two came over, Song Sijin subconsciously picked up his own bowl, scooped up a spoonful of peanut soup and handed it to Duan Lingyao's mouth.

Xin Qing hesitated to speak, but when she saw Duan Lingyao lowered her head and drank it, she didn't say anything else.

"It's a bit sweet. If you like it, go back and ask the cook to make it for you." Duan Lingyao asked again, "Have you bought everything?"

Song Sijin nodded again and again, unable to suppress the happiness on the corner of his mouth: "Yeah."

Duan Lingyao walked back with him, Xin Qing and Da Zhuang followed behind carrying the things Song Sijin bought.

"Brother Jin is the first time he wants to go home in such a hurry."

"No, no."

"Yes! I haven't seen you so active before."

Song Sijin said with a guilty conscience: "It's still relatively positive."

Duan Lingyao said that he would take him to Zhuangzi in Xing'er Village. Song Sijin thought that he might not be able to rescue his mother directly, so he bought her something first.It just so happens that his current small treasury is not short of money, so he can let his mother enjoy some blessings first.

Duan Lingyao accompanied him out this afternoon, walked on the street for a while, said that he was tired, so he went to the teahouse to rest, and asked Song Sijin to watch and buy by himself.

Song Sijin wandered the streets all afternoon, all he wanted was to go back to Zhuangzi, he was always a person who was easily satisfied, and with hope, his spirit improved a lot.

The date of going to Zhuangzi has not yet been determined.

After returning to Beppu, Song Sijin counted all the things he was going to bring to his mother, and carefully packed them into bamboo boxes. He didn't dare to buy too expensive things, fearing that if he left again, others would snatch them away.

After counting, Song Sijin took the initiative to approach Duan Lingyao.

"Little Grandpa, are you leaving tomorrow?" He asked him expectantly in a low voice.

"But I heard that it will rain tomorrow and it will be difficult to travel, so let's go later." Duan Lingyao laughed.

"Oh, good..." Song Sijin was afraid of side effects, so he couldn't help asking repeatedly, "Aren't we going somewhere else?"

"Well, of course it depends on what makes me happier."

Song Sijin knew that he liked to play, and when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly worried that there seemed to be nothing in Xing'er Village that Duan Lingyao could have fun with.

Although there are hillsides and forests there, they are very low and there are not many prey for Duan Lingyao to hunt.

There are many fields there, but in winter, they are bare at first glance, and the scenery seems to be mediocre.

There is no entertainment there. The ordinary countryside, except for more fields, is the same as countless other small villages, nothing special.

So Song Sijin had to rack his brains to coax him: "Well, Xing'er Village is also very interesting, can we... play with mud?"

Duan Lingyao laughed and said, "Brother Jin is just like a child."

Song Sijin's face flushed slightly, and he whispered, "Mud is just fun."

If Duan Lingyao had gone earlier, the scenery would actually be very beautiful. From a distance, there would be golden everywhere. When the wind blows, the golden waves rise and fall one after another, which is quite shocking.

In order to keep Duan Lingyao from changing his mind, Song Sijin has been working hard to find the benefits of Xing'er Village and Xiaozhuangzi.

"There is a pond inside. In summer, lotus will grow. It grows much bigger than in the big tank. It is beautiful. There are also lotus roots to eat!"

"It's winter now."

"There are a few mulberry trees planted inside. The mulberries are so sweet that your hands will turn black after eating them, but they are delicious."

"It's winter now."

"There are a few swallows nesting under the eaves, and I can still see them now!"

"Then wouldn't they pull all over the place?"

The two looked at each other, Song Sijin was speechless and had to ask: "Then what should I do?"

Duan Lingyao smiled and said, "Let's go play in the mud."

On the sunny day, Duan Lingyao did not lie to Song Sijin when he was about to leave. He told him to get ready one night in advance.

Song Sijin was so excited that he couldn't sleep until dawn, got into the carriage, and when the road bumped, he began to feel sleepy again.He couldn't help lowering his head, swayed left and right, and bumped into Duan Lingyao's head, and the two hissed at the same time.

Song Sijin covered his head and quickly apologized.

Duan Lingyao gritted his teeth and said, "If you are sleepy, just sleep for a while."

It's not that there is only one person in the carriage, and you can't sleep even if you lie down, Song Sijin shook his head: "I'll just sit by the window and blow some air."

But he leaned against the window, and after a while he began to doze off again, and this time his head hit the car wall, which hurt even more than before.

Seeing that he was about to burst into tears, Duan Lingyao laughed mercilessly, and then patted his thigh: "Okay, brother Jin, don't be shy, and sleep on my lap for a while, I'm stupid, and bumping into it a few more times will change it." Silly."

Song Sijin: "..." I dare not.

Seeing his hesitant eyes, Duan Lingyao guessed what he was thinking, stretched out his hand, hooked his neck and pressed on his leg.

Song Sijin lay down on the pillow, too stiff and nervous to really sleep.

Duan Lingyao lowered his head and bit his cheek: "Why don't you give me some favors in exchange for my brother, so that I won't be able to sleep well."

Song Sijin said a good word slowly.

But he couldn't think of what he could exchange, himself... was devoured by Duan Lingyao, so he couldn't exchange it with kisses.

The bamboo box was full of gifts for mother and his little playmates, but there was really nothing suitable for Duan Lingyao.

Song Sijin thought about it for a while, and suddenly got a quick wit.

He got up and rummaged in the bamboo box, and took out a rough wooden figure from the bottom.

"This is for you." Song Sijin handed it to Duan Lingyao, "It's you, it's not very good, what do you want now?"

Duan Lingyao took it in his hand, looked it up, down, left, and right, and was a little surprised: "When was it carved?"

"It was a while ago."

The wood of the little wooden man is not good wood, there are insect eyes on it, the carving is not very careful, many places are rough, and there are strange scratches of unknown origin.

But this is indeed Duan Lingyao, it can be seen at a glance, the face of the little wooden figure is smiling arrogantly and viciously, it makes people angry just looking at it.

Originally, this wooden man was Song Sijindiao who came to vent his anger on him, but now he wants to give it to Duan Lingyao, so naturally he can't tell the truth.

Song Sijin said with a guilty conscience: "Because I want to carve slowly, it looks rough before it's finished... How about I refine it?"

Duan Lingyao narrowed his eyes and stared at him, making Song Sijin feel more and more guilty. Suddenly he chuckled and said with a cheerful smile, "No, just give it to me. I'm afraid my head will fall off in a few days."

Song Sijin: "Yeah."
