Zhao Yunlong had already told him what he was thinking, so it was naturally difficult to continue to ask questions, and said with a smile: "Don't be too anxious about this matter, wait for you to see my father later, and then talk to him, and eat here later." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled slightly bitterly, thinking that the people of the Zhao royal family were in big trouble for him now, and he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.

On the dining table, there are some exquisite meals in the New Year's season, and the Shen Huayu sisters are very happy, if they don't talk about the things in the court, let go of their moods, the four of them casually chat about the strange things in Luoyang City, and they are very happy to talk about the heroes of the previous dynasty.

Zhao Yunlong yearns for the heroes of the rivers and lakes more than himself, and his dragon sword is learned from the hands of Qing'an Longxian, and Chu Xianzhao, the apprentice of the sword god in the west, chatted about the way of swordsmanship, but the two chatted and talked about their fathers, Zhao Yunlong said that his father had been helped by Shen Taisui when he was young, and he did not forget to mention the glorious deeds of Shen Taisui when he was on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River, and was helped by the servants to get off the boat after the ten daughters of the night emperor.

Shen Chuxia listened to the conversation between these men, and her face blushed by more than half, but Shen Huayu's eyes were bright, and she liked to listen to her father's past affairs. He looked at the two of them happily.

When Zhao Yunlong asked about Chu Xianzhao's previous affairs, Chu Xuanzhao lied that he was from Shuyue and his mother had died, so he didn't say much about other things.

The wine on the table was easy to drink too much and was anxious, and Chu Xuanzhao went to the toilet under the leadership of the people of the Guogong Mansion.

When he came out of the thatched hut with his belt tied, he took the hot towel handed by his servant and wiped his hands, feeling that this mansion was really big, and there were many plants in the back garden that he had never seen before, and the branches were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, even in the depths of winter, there was still a burst of vitality.

Chu Xianzhao asked the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion if they could take him to take a walk here, they all knew that this was a guest invited back by the little grandfather, so naturally they would not refuse his request.

Chu Xianzhao said that he knew the way back, and wanted to walk in it alone, so he let his subordinates leave.

He walked casually in the back garden, and found that the flowers and plants in the southern continent were really different, some of them were still colorful in the deep winter, and they were called exotic flowers and plants in the northern region, so he continued to walk with some curiosity, feeling that it was very comfortable to be surrounded by some greenery, and he could go all the way and leave all the chaos in his mind behind.

"Who are you?"

Chu Xianzhao turned his head and shouted, "Huh".

A man in a dark robe was looking at him, his fat figure was the same as Shen Taisui, and between his eyes, Chu Xianzhao was slightly surprised.

Chu Xianzhao was shocked in his heart, thinking that he actually let a person approach him quietly, if he was a killer sent by Chu Xiaohua to find him, then he would be dead, it seemed that the days spent in the Shen family these days had made him less alert to the external environment.

Chu Xianzhao looked at this person's eyes with slightly dark circles, his face was quite weak, his temples were particularly frosty, and he was holding a pair of scissors in his hand, which was stained with a little green broken leaves, presumably he was pruning the flower garden just now.

Chu Xianzhao took a step back, bowed to him and said, "In Xia Tang Huang, it was the little grandfather who invited guests to the house, and he felt that the flowers in this back garden were extremely beautiful, so he looked all the way, didn't bother you, right?"

After the man heard the words Tang Huang, a light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he asked curiously, "Your name is Tang Huang, is Lao Shen's son?"

Chu Xian summoned him to call him by his fake name, and said, "Have you heard of me?"

The man couldn't help laughing and said, "Yunlong mentioned you to me, you two met in Longhe Tower, right?"

Hearing the other party call Zhao Yunlong's name, Chu Xianzhao vaguely guessed the identity of the other party, and replied more and more respectfully: "Exactly, the responsibility for Hong Jincheng's matter lies with me, but let the little grandfather carry the black pot for me, which really makes me very unhappy." ”

The man nodded, and said in a harmonious voice: "This child has been influenced by his cousin Qing'an Longxian since he was a child, and he always feels that the injustices in the world can be settled with a sword, no matter what happens to young people, try to solve it peacefully and don't fight and kill, I often say this, but he always can't listen, I hope you can persuade him privately." ”

Chu Xianzhao didn't expect this adult to be so easy to speak, and after being stunned, he came back to his senses and even said that he must be sure.

The man said again: "You should have been here for a while, what do you think of here, is there anyone in the Shen family who will bully you because you are an illegitimate child?"

Chu Xianzhao said calmly: "No, the ladies of the Shen family are very good to me, and I have sisters and sisters with me, and now I have met the friend of the little grandfather, although the sunset is big, but not lonely." ”

"Friend, this kid Yunlong rarely meets who he invites to the mansion, and it's good to make a friend. However, the people in the city of the sunset are unpredictable, even if you don't hurt people, there are still people who will harm you, even where benevolence, righteousness and morality can be sold by two catties, friendship can only be limited to you children, and when you and he grow up, you will understand that the most important thing to watch out for in life is not the visible enemy, but the friends around you, because only he knows where your real weakness is. ”

Chu Xianzhao didn't expect this adult to tell him these truths so earnestly, only to see him smile and put a hand on his shoulder, and said solemnly: "The prosperity of Luoyang City is unparalleled in the world, and this big lake is naturally mixed with fish and dragons, if you want to do it without being eaten by miscellaneous fish, the most."

The important thing is to learn to be friends with the dragon, if you can really take over the burden of Lao Shen in the future, and can be good friends with the royal family, don't learn from your father's powerful set of power in moderation, and you can live a more stable life in the sunset in the future. ”

Chu Xianzhao had been pretending to be Shen Sanqian's illegitimate son all along, his face was still calm, and he replied, "Tang Huang remembers the teachings of Grandpa Guo. ”

"Haha! You guessed it. Grandpa Guo smiled heartily.

At this time, it was Zhao Yunlong's father, the grandfather of the Daqing Dynasty.

"I used to joke that Lao Shen couldn't give birth to a son in his life, and now he was slapped in the face. Grandpa Guo seemed very comfortable to see Chu Xianzhao, "In the past, your father and I often went to the flower boat to drink, and many years ago we called me brothers, and you call me uncle." ”

Chu Xianzhao replied softly, "Yes, Shibo." ”

Grandpa Guo took Chu Xianzhao out of the flower courtyard, during which he kept looking at Chu Xianzhao's face, and said with a puzzled smile: "It's not like him at all, when I was young, I had more silver in my trouser pocket than me, this girl just stuck to him like water, I didn't expect to give birth to such a handsome son, fortunately, with your mother, if it is like his old fox, it will be ugly." ”

Chu Xianzhao listened to Grandpa Guo's words but didn't know how to answer, Grandpa Guo laughed while talking, he seemed to feel very happy, he didn't expect Shen Sanqian, the old fox, to secretly raise an illegitimate child outside, now their family is lively, and the woman who wants to come to the Shen family will not be too embarrassed by this child, it is estimated that it will be a beating of him, if he really wants to take over the burden of the Shen family's great cause, there is still a long, long way to go in the future.

The two were walking slowly in the garden, and Chu Xianzhao suddenly heard a crow chirping, and a black shadow swept over his head.

For some reason, he felt that something was wrong, as more and more crows flapped their black wings and landed on the high wall, each of them as big as a falcon, with sharp fangs faintly visible in their wide open beaks.

He seemed to have seen such crows, a few times somewhere, and they always had a faint smell of blood on them.

"-Quack!!"

The crows crows crowed sharply, hoarsely, and the two in the garden seemed to be surrounded by crows.

"This ...... This...... So, how can so many crows fly here during the Chinese New Year?"

Grandpa Guo trembled, grabbed Chu Xianzhao's sleeve, and looked at the crows that were about to fall from the sky with panicked eyes.

Chu Xianzhao's brows tightened, and suddenly he remembered something, and his eyes were immediately as sharp as arrows.

This is the hunting crow of the Great Yin Crow Qi Wei, the most notorious institution in the imperial court who loves to use the hunting crow to round up and absconding annoyance, and no one can escape from them!

Chu Xiaohua really didn't intend to let him go, no matter where he fled to, the shadow of the past could always catch up.

"Run into the garden!"

Chu Xianzhao shouted, and pushed Grandpa Guo hard, and his big sleeves rolled up like a shield to block the arrow that shot at Grandpa Guo's chest, although he didn't know where this arrow came from, but his keen senses, coupled with the crows that kept falling from the sky, it meant that the assassins of Crow Qiwei were near here, and they were here to kill themselves!

From the moment he blocked the flying arrow, Chu Xianzhao heard a subtle click, which was the sound of a heavy crossbow pulling the trigger, and immediately howled and the wind roared, and the arrow hit the plane tree beside the two of them fiercely, and countless sawdust splashed on Grandpa Guo's body, which hurt him for a while.

Chu Xianzhao looked at the sycamore tree that broke off from both sides, this is the pinnacle of Yinguo's bow and crossbow technology, the arrows fired by this improved continuous fire heavy crossbow can break the hugging wood, if it forms a rain of arrows, even the charge of the Great Yin Iron Cavalry is difficult to resist.

After the plane tree fell to the ground heavily, followed by a rain of arrows from all directions, Chu Xuanzhao did not have a sword when he traveled today, and now he only had the dagger given to him by the eldest lady.

Even if he can run away from the hands of Crow Qiwei with his own skills, I am afraid that the bloated and pig-like grandfather next to him will be disemboweled, and the reckoning will still be counted on his head at that time.

The crows attacked suddenly, but Chu Xianzhao was not flustered, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and drew a long silver arc in the crows, killing all the hunting crows that surrounded him in an instant, but the speed of the hunting crows was too fast, and Chu instantaneously had a blade beyond reach.

After hearing only a scream, Grandpa Guo was bitten on his sleeve by several hunting crows and staggered to the ground.

Chu Xianzhao gritted his teeth and pounced, and killed the few hunting crows besieging Grandpa Guo with a dagger, blood and black feathers suddenly rose in front of his eyes, but the siege of this group of crows was too fierce, and Grandpa Guo was so frightened by this sudden attack that his legs and feet couldn't move, and he could only grab Grandpa Guo's back collar and drag him step by step towards the exit of the garden.

At this moment, the crows besieging him suddenly dispersed, and as soon as Chu Xianzhao looked up, he saw a group of black-clothed people with crow's beak masks on their faces.

The big Yin crow Qi Wei, the black impermanence walking in Lin'an City, no official in the Yin court wants to be entangled by them, because their fate is often only death.

Chu Xianzhao visually saw that about five or six people surrounded him, all of them were people dressed in black with crow's beak masks, and the chain knives in their hands glowed with pitch black, apparently coated with poison enough to stun their prey.

Chu Xuanzhao knew very well in his heart that since they had found themselves, they must want to capture them alive

Go to Chu Xiaohua.

There was another sound of chains shaking, and after Chu Xuanzhao pushed Grandpa Guo into the bushes, he turned to the side of his body and let the chain knife pass through his neck, and then used a dagger to cut off the black arrow that shot at Grandpa Guo.

Chu Xianzhao suddenly found that they looked like they were here to capture him alive and to assassinate Grandpa Guo, but fortunately, he still had weapons in his hands, so he would not fall to the point of being defenseless.

The attack sent out by the Crow Qi Guards, whether it was speed or momentum, was still able to resist after he lost his Wang Xi Qi Machine, so Chu Xuanzhao could also snatch the swift chain knife attacks again and again with just a dagger.

The dagger grazed the blade and splashed bright sparks, and Grandpa Guo was simply stunned by the scene in front of him, feeling that his life would be taken by these assassins at any time.

Chu Xuanzhao fought with the crow guards like a swimming fish, trying not to let the opponent's weapon scratch himself, but he was always invincible with two fists and four hands, and a burly man wrapped in a cloak held not a chain knife in his hand, but a plate axe, and slashed straight at Chu Xuanzhao.

Chu Xianzhao's eyes seemed to be crossed by a white light, and his heart was inevitably tight, and he just wanted to avoid the slashing of the plate axe, but he didn't expect these crow guards to emerge again, and they turned into fighting beasts trapped by the chain knife!

At this moment, the dagger in Chu Xianzhao's hand suddenly rose with three feet of sword qi, and he once again possessed a long sword, slashing towards the man's plate axe.

I only heard a click, and the man's plate axe was split in half by his sword qi, and the devastating sword qi rushed straight towards his body.

Chu Xuanzhao's heart was overjoyed, and his sword qi pressed upward, thinking of cutting off his head with a sword.

I saw that the man raised his arm in an orderly manner, allowing the red sword qi to tear his sleeve apart, without taking a single step.

After a clang, the sword qi slashed across his arm, but it didn't cut off his arm, leaving only a white mark.

There was a stinging pain in Chu Xianzhao's back, and the sword qi drew a beautiful sword spin on the big man's arm, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to break through from it, and there was a sound of chains shaking, Chu Zhaozhao knew that it was no longer good, his footsteps stopped abruptly, and the whole person leaned back, narrowly avoiding those chain knives that attacked from behind, but the blade still pierced his chest. Two interlaced lines of blood were drawn on his chest.

Chu Xuanzhao took advantage of this moment of leaning back to draw a huge sword circle behind him, and the assassins of the Crow Qiwei reacted quickly, and they were ready to retreat from the sword qi that was forced in front of him with a little tiptoe.

Now that he has finally found this opportunity to attack, he will definitely not let it go, the qi in his body quickly rushed out of his body, and the red sword qi instantly seemed to grow three feet longer, and a roaring dragon groan came out of his hand, and the perfect sword red dragon was used from his hand again.

The crow guards quickly withdrew, and one of them was slightly slower and was affected by the sword qi, and the whole person was cut in half by the sword qi, and his body turned into two halves and fell heavily to the ground, drawing a tragic blood.

Chu Xianzhao was already very calm in the face of this kind of attack, he was once the son of the Yin Kingdom, and it was not once or twice that he was assassinated and sneak attacked, and there was also the swordsmanship teaching of the Xilin Sword God.

At this time, the people sent by Chu Xiaohua finally came to him, if he was captured alive by them and returned to Yinguo, then the promise he made to Liyang would become a bubble in the sun, and it would become a meaningless thing.

Chu Xianzhao's toes were a little on the big man's chest, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed towards the scattered crow guards, and when the man was shocked by this foot force and retreated, the snowflakes on the ground rose one after another.

Chu Xianzhao gritted his teeth and used the knife to roll thunder in one go, his body was suddenly mixed with rolling wind and thunder, and the sword qi roared, ready to give these crow guards a fatal blow.

But he heard a low laugh, like a woman's voice.

Countless iron chains poured in from all directions, incomparably gently wrapping around Chu Xianzhao's body, and finally binding his limbs like tentacles.

The anesthetic in Chu Xianzhao's body happened to attack, making him let go of the dagger in his hand uncontrollably, and the whole person was like a reptile in a spider's nest, making him unable to move.

Chu Xianzhao was firmly bound by iron chains, and at this time, like a trapped beast, a terrible roar came out of his mouth, and his purple pupils inadvertently glowed with blood, wanting to awaken the sunrise blood in his body to break through the entanglement of the chains.

But he saw a vague figure, and her slender figure could still be seen in the wide cloak worn over her body, and the man was a woman with a crow's beak mask.

"This is the chain array of the Raven Guard...... How do you know I'm ......," he yelled with the last of his strength.

"In this world, there is no one who cannot be found by the Crow Qiwei, His Royal Highness. The woman slowly walked up to him and called out his past identity, her white fingers climbing up to his face, her nails as black as ink.

Although the color of your hair has changed, and even the original appearance has been concealed with a rooted dough, we have found your whereabouts with the clues you left behind, thanks to your unforgettable purple eyes, you see, it is not difficult to find a needle in a haystack. ”

Chu Xianzhao can't run away now, and it's hard to think about fighting with him like in the past, his limbs are bound by iron chains, and the dagger in his hand has also been taken off by the woman and thrown aside, "Then what are you going to do with me?"

The woman sneered: "Compared to what we want to do with you, we want to know more about what Your Royal Highness the Prince is here for, and Chu Xiaohua also wants to know." ”
