Feng Yongting, Eunuch Feng, was an evergreen tree in the palace.
It was said that Eunuch Feng had entered the palace during the late emperor's reign. He had served the current emperor since he was a child, and it had been like a day for dozens of years. People were nostalgic. He was also talented, so he had been put in important positions. He had great power and high status in the palace. Not only were many eunuchs' ancestors respected him, but even the members of the royal family respected him. Even the foreign ministers praised him.
But it was only praise. They praised him for being sensible and sincere, and praised him for not causing trouble.
After all, this was a country ruled by martial arts. Everyone considered themselves fierce men, so they did not think much of eunuchs. It was a kind of physical and psychological superiority.
Under these circumstances, it was impossible for eunuchs to interfere in politics. After all, the eunuchs' power and arrogance came from the emperor's instigation and indulgence. When the power of the ministers was strong enough to stand up to the emperor, those "deranged eunuchs who conspired to kill the loyal" did not exist. Even if there were such insensible eunuchs, they would be beaten to death by the ministers.
Therefore, even if the eunuchs from the forbidden palace were favored by the emperor, they still had to tuck their tails between their legs in front of the foreign ministers. They did things carefully and acted according to the rules. People like Wei Zhongxian and Feng Yongting were already doing well. At least when their names were mentioned, the ministers would say that these two fellows were okay.
The okay Eunuch Feng had a bitter face.
He had stayed in the palace for dozens of years and had seen many storms. Whether it was the secret fights in the palace or the political turmoil in the court, he had smoothly passed through them all with his extraordinary wisdom and sharp intuition. But this time, he was a little panicked. He even broke out in a cold sweat.
Because of one person.
Because this person wanted to defecate in the palace.
And he had a lot of bad habits.
Motherf * cker, the other ministers trembled with fear during the court meeting. They did not even dare to eat in the morning. They were afraid that there would be someone who wanted to defecate and pee in the court and it would not be easy to clean up the mess. But this guy not only had a full breakfast, he also ate two donkey roasted meat in front of the Gate of Heaven Influence. Eunuch Feng took the opportunity to ask around. He seriously suspected that this was a premeditated subversion.
She took him to the public toilet used by the palace servants. He thought it was too smelly and dirty, and there were people around.
She brought him to a quiet and clean guest room and specially moved a clean toilet bowl to invite him to go to the toilet. The old man said that he was not used to defecating in the room, so naturally, he had to defecate in the outhouse.
If it was a normal person who dared to be so picky in the Imperial Palace, Feng Yongting would have left long ago and left the other party to fend for themselves. However, this person was different. Eunuch Feng did not dare to do so. Although he could not imagine what would happen if he left the other party to fend for themselves in the Imperial Palace, he knew that no matter what happened, it would be something that Eunuch Feng's life could not bear …
Helpless, Eunuch Feng could only bring General Shentse to his residence in the palace.
As a eunuch with a very high status and seniority in the Imperial Palace, Eunuch Feng naturally lived in a separate courtyard. The Imperial Palace was very large. It was very easy to assign him a room of one hundred and forty square meters with three rooms, two halls, and two bathrooms. The environment was good and the place was very clean.
Eunuch Feng was an elegant person. He understood literature and loved calligraphy and painting. He was an intellectual among the eunuchs. He was fundamentally different from eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian and Cao Huachun, who slaughtered demons on the Tianyuan Battlefield like flies. This was also reflected in the decoration style of his courtyard. It was very clean and very quiet, including the outhouse.
Now, his humble outhouse was illuminated. The expensive and exquisite toilet bowl welcomed the most expensive butt in the world. Eunuch Feng waited outside the outhouse. He bent his back and smiled obsequiously as he waited.
Sun Lang's tsk tsk tsk came from inside. "Particular, really particular."
Eunuch Feng's toilet bowl was carved out of a natural soft moonstone. It was inlaid with gems and carved with cloud patterns. It was also covered with a brand new fine velvet cushion. The inside of the cushion was filled with precious and special fragrant wood powder. This made the toilet bowl completely odorless during use.
In addition, there was a stack of white and fragrant handkerchiefs on the small table beside his hand. For the upper class, there was no need to invent toilet paper.
Not far ahead, there was a small warm stove. Outside the window, there was the sound of water gurgling. It was a bamboo joint that caused the water to flow. It was not only elegant, but also could cover up the embarrassing sounds.
In short, the evil feudalism was too decadent and too extravagant.
Standing on both sides of the Yellow River, holding confidential documents in his hand, the front line was shooting lasers, and the rear was bombarded with artillery shells.
Perhaps it was because the environment was too comfortable, Sun Lang even whistled.
Eunuch Feng was waiting outside anxiously. He even felt his heart beating fast. Sun Lang inside was undoubtedly a hot firecracker. Every second he stayed in the Imperial Palace contained a great risk. This kind of ancestor should be watched closely and sent out of the Imperial Palace as soon as possible.
Otherwise … otherwise what should he do?
Eunuch Feng sighed. What was this called?
He waited outside for a few minutes, but there was no sign of the troops inside. Eunuch Feng moved his body and planned to carefully ask. Then, his expression suddenly changed.
Wait … no sound?
In an instant, Feng Yongting felt his whole body tremble. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He listened attentively, and his heart trembled. There was no sound, no breathing, no heartbeat. In short, there was no sound at all. It was as if there was no one inside.
There was no one …
Eunuch Feng was shocked and shouted, "General?
General? "
After shouting twice and getting no response, he no longer hesitated. He immediately stepped forward and pushed open the door of the toilet.
General Shentse sat on the toilet bowl. His unfriendly gaze was like a knife. Before Eunuch Feng could come back to his senses and apologize, General Shentse's fierce shout came with a fierce palm strike. "F * ck your mother!
You dare to peep at my pure and clean body! "
This palm strike was definitely intentional. From the strength of the palm, it was clear that it was waiting to be unleashed. Eunuch Feng had anxiously pushed open the door and entered. He had not thought to defend himself at all. Sun Lang's martial arts were much stronger than his, and it was a surprise attack. How could it not hit?
Poor Eunuch Feng was hit by the palm strike and was sent flying out of the room.
Fortunately, no strength was used, and there was no murderous intent. Eunuch Feng was only hit until he rolled on the ground. His face was covered in dirt, but he was not injured. He froze for a moment, then laughed bitterly and slowly stood up.
In his early years in the palace, he had suffered much worse than this.
It did not matter if he was hit. It did not matter if he was hit harder. This was never the main point. Eunuch Feng stood up and listened attentively. There was still no movement inside.
There was no sound of breathing or heartbeat. The toilet was quiet. From what he could sense, there was no one inside. There was no sign of any living thing.
Just like just now.
Feng Yongting was silent for a moment, then laughed bitterly. "Commander Of War, I have heard the story of the boy who cried wolf."
No one answered. Eunuch Feng continued, "I heard no sound from the room and thought that you had sneaked into the inner palace. In shock, I pushed the door open and entered. You were sitting inside. My behavior was impolite and presumptuous. Being beaten by you was a waste of time. After I was beaten once, I began to have doubts in my heart. Because after I was beaten out of the outhouse, there was still no sound from inside. Now I am not sure … I am not sure if you have already sneaked away or if you are still waiting here for me to come in and be beaten."
He sighed. "It is a good plan, but sometimes a plan cannot overcome the will of the people. General, I am the eunuch of the Imperial Palace. I have the responsibility of guarding the palace. Even if I am beaten to death by you, I have to make sure you are not waiting for an opportunity to leave."
After he finished speaking, he walked forward and put his finger on the door of the room.
Sun Lang's room rang out from inside. "… Crazy."
Eunuch Feng smiled calmly. "The only thing in this world is seriousness."
Sun Lang yawned and said, "Is there something wrong with your head?
Why would I run around? "
Eunuch Feng said, "There is no point in talking about this. Commander Of War, we all understand in our hearts."
Sun Lang said disdainfully, "Understand my ass. I just want to walk around the palace. Why would I wait until now? Why would I let you create an opportunity for me?"
Feng Yongting muttered to himself for a moment and said, "That is true. I heard that you caused a big commotion in your hometown in Summer Province and also in Tensei Province. I had no way to avoid that palm strike just now. Commander Of War's martial arts are so strong that I am afraid there is no second person in the world. If you wanted to break into the Imperial Palace, you didn't have to wait until today. So why did you have to do such a thing today …"
Sun Lang snorted. "I just wanted to take a dump, but you just had to make wild guesses …"
Before he could finish speaking, Eunuch Feng's eyes lit up as if he had already thought of the correct answer. He said slowly, "I understand. So the general has something to ask me."
Sun Lang was speechless.
Eunuch Feng continued to analyze, "The general didn't ask me directly. Instead, you've been making things difficult for me today. You even made such a joke just now. You want me to lose my composure and be at a loss. Based on your usual style of doing things, are you trying to get the answer you want from me as if nothing has happened?"
Sun Lang was speechless.
Eunuch Feng sighed. "This old servant has stayed in the palace for a long time, and my mouth is tightly sealed. You know this. After all, this is the Forbidden Palace. If you want to survive, keeping your mouth shut is the most important thing. The general knows this, but you still want to get information from this old servant. This means that the answer you want to know is not too important to this old servant …"
"Then here comes the question. Is there something that the general doesn't know but wants to know? Something that I definitely know? Something that is very common?"
Sun Lang was speechless.
Eunuch Feng wanted to continue speaking, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Then he suddenly realized that Sun Lang did not seem to have said anything. Could it be …
He hesitated for a moment, but still made up his mind and immediately pushed open the door of the room. This time, there was no one in the outhouse. Only the expensive toilet was placed in the middle of the room, and there was light smoke coming from the heater.
Sun Lang was nowhere to be seen.
"… F * ck!" Eunuch Feng's expression changed. He stomped his feet and cursed, "This cunning brat!"
He wanted to turn around and chase after him, but suddenly he was kicked in the butt. He fell forward like a dog eating shit. Sun Lang's cold voice came from behind him, "Scolding me … I should have hung the toilet bowl above the door."
Eunuch Feng lay on the ground. With Sun Lang stepping on his waist, he simply stopped struggling.
Then he heard Sun Lang continue, "It's the same if you press your head in."
Eunuch Feng, who was obsessed with cleanliness, was shocked. He then struggled and shouted, "Jia Ying, you heartless person!
If you really do that, then our friendship is over! "
Sun Lang snorted. "What friendship do we have?
You call me Commander Of War, and the general. "
Eunuch Feng laughed coldly. "It's better than having me squat in the Gate of Heaven Influence."
The two were silent for a moment.
After a while, Sun Lang said, "Since you've guessed it, you should know what I want to ask, right?"
Eunuch Feng sighed. "I shouldn't have said it … Also, you know that today's conversation will be relayed to His Majesty. I won't hide anything from him."
Sun Lang said indifferently, "Whatever. I'm not afraid of him knowing. Anyway, from the results, things won't get worse."
"The results …" Eunuch Feng said, "Back then, you didn't just look at the results."
Sun Lang moved his foot away and kicked Feng Yongting. "Back then, I believed in the results."
Eunuch Feng slowly stood up. "I feel sorry for this …"
"But it's only a pity."
Sun Lang continued his words. "You're the Emperor's slave, the Emperor's lackey. For someone who is willing to lower himself, the so-called loyalty is above everything."
Eunuch Feng said calmly, "I'm not the same as Wei Zhongxian. Besides, he's only found a new master … As for me, I haven't finished repaying the previous Emperor's kindness and the Emperor's courtesy."
Sun Lang said, "So, our friendship is over long ago."
Eunuch Feng said calmly, "Yes, so it's better to call you General."
Sun Lang raised his eyebrows. "I have a hundred ways to make the Emperor feel that our friendship is not over."
Feng Yongting showed no fear. "Do as you wish. It's just death. Even if I see the previous Emperor on the road to the Yellow Springs, I'll still hold my head high and have a clear conscience."
Sun Lang shook his head. "Answer my question … you know, this isn't a difficult question. You can also pass it on to the Emperor, and I can also get an answer from someone else."
Eunuch Feng was silent for a moment. He slowly said, "In these two years, she's lived in seclusion, only appearing at festivals and royal celebrations. I heard that even the Empress rarely sees her. Usually, she's not in the palace."
Sun Lang smiled coldly. "As expected … I think she should be back soon."
Hesitation appeared in Eunuch Feng's eyes. He said softly, "Sun Lang, do you have to do this?"
Sun Lang said coldly, "Is there any other way to solve the problem?"
Eunuch Feng had nothing to say. He sighed softly. "Unfortunately, we can't be friends anymore."
Sun Lang turned and said, "I'm leaving … remember to tell the Emperor what happened today. Don't leave anything out."
Eunuch Feng was stunned. "What?"
Sun Lang turned and smiled slightly. "If I'm not wrong, this is the Emperor's plan. He knows I'll ask around. Coincidentally, this is also my plan … that's all."
He floated away.
