Seeing that this martial emperor was always unwilling to open his heart to talk to him in detail, Zhao Ting was not reluctant, and left without hesitation after a few thorough courtesies.

As soon as he left, the hall was suddenly empty, leaving only Xiao Che alone, sitting on the gilded dragon chair, the shadows in the depths of the palace draped over him, making his expression look a little gloomy.

Sitting still for a long time, no one dared to disturb him at this time.

"That person, I think I have something to say to you," a cold-sounding man's voice came from the jade wrench on Xiao Che's finger, "You rejected him." ”

Xiao Che didn't look up, and squeezed out a word from his throat: "Hmm." ”

After a pause, he explained: "I know, but he has a close relationship with the patriarch of the Bai family, so he must be guarded against. ”

The voice faded down.

"Wait for me...... No one can fly above the heads of the Terrans. ”

......

......

Qinyuan Residence.

Zhao Ting sat in the No. 1 wing room on the top floor, looking at the spring scenery outside the city from the window.

This restaurant is open in the northern suburbs, not far from the north gate of Youjing, at this time, you can see the prosperous scene of people coming and going under the gate of the imperial capital at a glance.

His eyes were looking out the window, but his mind had already flown to nowhere.

To be honest, the meeting with Martial Emperor Xiao Che was not pleasant.

He originally wanted to have a long talk with Xiao Che and talk to him about the future of the Terran and the development of the Terran Race. But Xiao Che has been guarding against him, and although his words are polite, there is a faint sense of alienation, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, uncomfortable is uncomfortable, Zhao Ting can understand Xiao Che's approach. If it were him, he wouldn't have to talk to an unidentified person, it was him, he was too anxious.

In addition, in Xiao Che's body, he actually vaguely felt a hint of danger. He searched for a long time, but he didn't know where this strange feeling came from.

You know, he's a fourth-order "alien". If he was willing, he could even easily destroy this prosperous secluded capital.

But Xiao Che could actually make him feel dangerous.

Well, this man has a big secret.

Zhao Ting thought.

Another thing that surprised him was that Xiao Che's body always exuded an "ominous" smell. And Xiao Che himself said that some of the "unknowns" recorded in "Strange Demons" were experienced by him.

How much has he personally experienced?

Zhao Ting knew that Xiao Che was only less than a year away from ascending the throne.

And before that, when he was the crown prince, it was impossible for him to have such a good "treatment", and there were three spirit clans who "protected" him.

Did he meet "unknown" when he was the crown prince?

How did he survive?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xiao Che was a bit mysterious, which also aroused his greater interest.

"Looks like we'll have to find an opportunity to visit His Majesty the Emperor again. ”

Shaking his head and dissipating the many miscellaneous things in his mind, Zhao Ting began to slowly exude his mental power, permeating the secluded capital, searching in the designated direction.

After a while, Zhao Ting frowned, "Si'er is not in the city, and he didn't leave a mark, where did he go? Xiaotai is not ...... either."

"It's ...... In Youzhou City, it's really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"

......

......

The stars and moon in the sky are dull, and the clouds are gloomy.

The silent night, the darkness of the five fingers that you can't see.

The inner city of Youzhou, outside the Yongle Palace.

At this time, the curfew had long passed, and occasionally the Praetorian Guards on night patrol would pass under the palace of the outer hall, making neat and heavy footsteps.

Peal –

Peal –

The footsteps faded away.

The east hall outside the Yongle Palace was originally the place where the concubines in the palace lived, but since it was rumored that it was haunted and two palace maids disappeared for no reason, the concubines who originally lived here hurriedly moved to other places.

The people in the palace wanted to save trouble, so they arranged for a group of little eunuchs who had just entered the palace to live in this east palace.

When the weather is not yet hot, the cold wind blows on the eaves doors and windows at night, making a "rustling" sound, as if someone is dragging their steps.

Dongfu is a large compound with six wings, two in the southeast and one in the northwest. These little eunuchs who had just gone to the hostage were stacked on the hard couches in the wing rooms because there were too many of them, and they slept together crowded, because they didn't feel hot because it wasn't summer.

Inside the wing room on the west side.

"Liu Shen, Liu Shen, wake up...... Wake up. It was a shrill voice that couldn't tell the difference between a man and a woman.

Woken up by this shaking, a round-faced little eunuch sleeping in the corner of the bed opened his eyes in a daze.

"How...... How?"

The round-faced little eunuch wiped his sleepy eyes, looked at the person who woke him up, and found that it was the timid Li Yi who was on duty together on weekdays, so he couldn't help but be angry, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Li Yi looked a little pale at this time, I don't know if his skin was already so white or frozen, anyway, it was not normal.

I saw him pointing out the window, with a look of fear in his eyes, and whispered in the ear of the round-faced little eunuch: "I...... I saw a tall black figure lying out the window staring at us. ”

"Very high," Li Yi gestured with his hands, trying to prove to the round-faced little eunuch that what he said was true, "There are probably one and a half tall people in our normal people, tall and thin, and they don't look like people." ”

His pale face, coupled with these horrified words, made the round-faced little eunuch's back feel a chill for no reason.

Stunned, the round-faced little eunuch glanced out the window.

Nothing! Everything is as it was before.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looked at Li Yi and said, "You kid is in a dream, right? Who will lie outside our window and watch when he is idle in the middle of the night? What is there to see, we are a group of eunuchs, and we are not a girl's family." ”

"Besides, there are so many people sleeping in this room, even if there is really a bad guy, he doesn't dare to come in. Where is this place? The Imperial Palace! The Forbidden Army patrols day and night, and it is very safe, so you can put away your suspicious and suspicious problems. ”

After working with Li Yi for a while, the round-faced little eunuch also discovered a problem with him, that is, he was always suspicious and suspicious, and felt that someone was trying to harm him.

This guy's eccentric personality makes him not very gregarious on weekdays, and everyone doesn't like him. There is only one round-faced little eunuch, and it is a little pitiful to see Li Yi alone, plus the two of them are fellow villagers, so they are closer to him.

"Okay, okay, go to sleep, I'll be on duty tomorrow. ”

The round-faced little eunuch pulled a piece of the quilt from his companion's hand with all his might, and lay down again, wanting to close his eyes and fall back asleep.

"Don't, don't ......" For some reason, Li Yi didn't let go of the comfort of the round-faced little eunuch, his face turned even paler at this time, "Liu Shen, let's get out of here quickly, I have a hunch that if I stay any longer, something bad will happen......"
