Brother Scar shook his head and said: "You are really stupid, the punishment of cutting off your feet, as the name suggests, is to cut off your feet!"

"Well, that's basically what it means!" Tie Chao nodded and said, "Because of the crime of that rebellion, your royal mansion, young and old, women and children, have their feet cut off, and their lives have been spent crawling. ”

Luo Changfeng couldn't help but say: "Such a shame is indeed impossible to forget easily!"

"That's right! They still remember this kind of punishment. Tie Chao continued: "So in the royal struggle for hundreds of years, they have always stood on the opposite side of the Second Prince's Mansion, which is why I said that their Sikong family and the Second Prince's Mansion have been feuding for hundreds of years. ”

Duan Wushuang exclaimed: "This kind of family hatred is very difficult to resolve!"

Shi Jiu said: "If something like this happened today, presumably the Sikong family will no longer act casually, and they will definitely turn a lot of activities into more secretive activities." ”

Luo Changfeng also said: "In fact, this has increased the difficulty of our precautions, and we are still careless in food, and the vegetables and rice noodles purchased from now on must be carefully checked, and then we will divide the labor to inquire about the movements of other princes and nobles, so that we can know ourselves and know each other in a hundred battles." ”

Shi Jiu followed Luo Changfeng's words and said: "The Second Prince's Mansion has just undergone a big reversal, such a situation is not only unfavorable to Brother Tie, but even our residence in the Second Prince's Mansion is also a potential threat to Brother Tie. Therefore, we must be careful whether we go out or walk around the inner house, because the royal family's eyeliner is everywhere!"

Tie Chao nodded and said, "Brother Shi Jiu is very right, the struggle of the royal family is far beyond the imagination of everyone here. It was because I was tired of their deceit that I left Fancheng and entered the Dur Battlestar Academy. ”

Shi Jiu said: "There are still two days left before the registration deadline for the royal invitation competition, and Dongxue has already proposed not to participate, and we all have ideas that we must say now." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, except for Popa and Tie Chao, he all put forward a request to sign up, especially Duan Wushuang even had to pull Xiang Nan to sign up, fortunately, Xiang Nan had a resolute attitude, so he was not instigated by Duan Wushuang to succeed.

Tie Chao prepared a piece of paper and wrote the three big characters of the application form, and then everyone else signed the application form.

Tie Chao took the application form and specifically indicated that he was a guest of the Second Prince's Mansion, and after he examined it, he hurriedly went to the Grand Palace with the application form.

Tie Chao's application seemed to be unusually smooth, and when he returned, he had already replaced the application form with several nameplates embroidered with numbers.

The nameplate number is consecutively from forty-nine to fifty-five, and the corresponding person's name is written on the back of each nameplate.

The nameplate is not only small and exquisite, but also can be easily pasted on clothes.

Arrange the records on the nameplate, among which Luo Changfeng got No. 49, Brother Scar got No. 50, Ou Chufei got No. 51, Ji Yanan got No. 52, Duan Wushuang got No. 53, Luo Xiaopang got No. 54, and Shi Jiu got No. 55.

Tie Chao said with emotion: "It's not too late for us to sign up, I didn't expect so many people to sign up in front, there are still two days left to sign up, maybe the number of participants will exceed 100." ”

Duan Wushuang said: "It doesn't matter, the more people, the more lively!"

While they were still holding their respective nameplates and discussing, the family in the front hall ran over and reported: "Your king's mansion sent someone to send a gift!"

Tie Chao felt incredible when he heard this, he stood up and walked out, and Shi Jiu and the others followed him to the front hall together.

Sure enough, in the center of the front hall, there were several large gift boxes wrapped in colorful silk, and a steward of the Sikong family stood in front of the gift box and said: "Second prince, my master sees that you have a unique hobby, and specially sent you a good gift, you can accept it and enjoy it slowly!"

Tie Chao They didn't know what was in the box, Shi Jiu waved his hand to signal everyone to pay attention to precautions, Tie Chao instructed the family to carefully disassemble the colored silk, open the lid of the box, and after the contents were revealed, they couldn't help but make Duan Wushuang jump aside in surprise.

Jia Ding opened the first box, and inside was a shriveled corpse, this corpse Shi Jiu had just seen a few days ago, it was the corpse of the guard who had died tragically in the guard barracks outside Sunset Valley.

The family continued to open the remaining boxes, which were also filled with the remains of the guards who died that day.

Tie Chao reluctantly asked the family to seal these boxes and place them next to Ma Rulong's coffin, he gently patted Ma Rulong's coffin and said, "Uncle Ma, your guys are afraid that you will be lonely, so they came with you." ”

Now the antechamber of the Second King's Mansion has been occupied by a huge black lacquered coffin and several colored silk boxes.

When they returned to the inner room, Shi Jiu had not yet spoken, and Tie Chao had already said: "Brother Shi Jiu, I have basically figured out the object of the ten invitations you asked me to inquire about. ”

Shi Jiu hurriedly said: "Brother Tie, you haven't been coming to the Great Palace for a long time, I didn't expect you to not only get all the nameplates so quickly, but also figure out the matter of ten invitations, didn't you encounter any obstacles?"

"Hey~!Brother Shi Jiu, you really guessed right. Tie Chao said: "The obstacle is not only encountered, but it is also a big obstacle." ”

Ji Yanan smiled: "Since you have encountered obstacles, how can it be so smooth?"

Tie Chao said: "When I entered the Great Palace, I originally wanted to visit the uncle first, and then mention the application form, but before I entered the harem, I was stopped by the guard of the front hall. ”

"Is this the obstacle that Brother Tie encountered?" Ji Yanan asked.

Tie Chao shook his head and said: "I explained my intention to the officer on duty, and he said that the eldest prince did not see anyone, so I handed the application form to the officer on duty and asked him to transfer it to the eldest prince, and expressed his hope to obtain permission to participate in the competition." ”

"He must have hindered you this time, right?" Duan Wushuang also asked.

Tie Chao still shook his head and said: "I didn't expect this officer on duty to take a look at our application form, count the names of several people, and directly take out seven nameplates, and mark your name on each nameplate with a cinnabar royal pen. ”

"This is obviously a very smooth thing!" Duan Wushuang asked suspiciously.

Tie Chao smiled, and then said: "It turns out that the eldest prince appointed this duty officer to handle the registration of the invitation competition, so the matter of signing up for the competition is very smooth. Okay, I'll talk about the obstacles I encountered. ”

Everyone immediately stared nervously at Tie Chao and listened to him tell what the so-called obstacles were.

Tie Chao pondered for a while and said, "Actually, the obstacle I encountered also came from this officer on duty!"
