Lin Suqing pricked up his ears and concentrated on analyzing the sounds, for fear that another beast would suddenly appear.

Those trivial voices, like something whispering in the distance. Small and faint, muffled by the crackling sound of the flames burning.

Intuitively, it doesn't seem like a lurking danger.

He flipped the meat several times, and the oil splashed, and the large grains of oil and water dripped on the red-hot charcoal, making a sizzling sound.

The fire burned even more vigorously with oil, and for fear that the fire would be too strong and roast the meat, he drew out a few sticks of firewood, and took a few steps and inserted the part that had not yet burned into the earth to be used as a torch for lighting.

I've heard that many beasts are afraid of fire, so maybe it can also be used as a deterrent.

When the night is dark, the meat that has been grilled over charcoal fire has been roasted to a juicy and delicious taste, and the aroma is overflowing. At this time, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and a breeze can convey the aroma of barbecue for hundreds of miles.

He was afraid that the aroma would attract uninvited guests, so he didn't care about the hot hands, hurriedly wrapped the roasted meat with layers of lotus leaves, and held it in his arms and followed the direction that the dog ran away before.

At night, his vision was limited, more dangerous than daytime, and he did not dare to stay under his feet.

......

After passing through a bamboo forest, a stone path appeared in front of me. Lin Suqing took a deep breath and gambled that this path should be the road to the mansion of His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

After running this road, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, as if something had shocked everything. It was silent, and even the mosquitoes did not dare to fly, and there was no night bug screaming. All that was left was the sound of his own panting and his heart pounding.

It's so quiet that it's terrifying, but it's also very calm.

As I walked, a pool of lake water appeared in front of me, and a few egrets rested on the shallow edge of the reed flowers. They saw Lin Suqing coming cautiously and whispered, "I heard today that it was him who mistakenly stepped on the barrier of His Highness to recall the Wind Chasing God Monarch. ”

"Never before has this ever happened...... I'm afraid of trouble......"

"Shhh, the front of the palace is talking nonsense, so you're not afraid that the Wind Chasing God Monarch will tear you into scum?"

The egrets chatted in detail, but when Lin Suqing approached, they were all silent, pretending to close their eyes and recuperate. But their conversation was still listened to by Lin Suqing for seven or eight points.

He squeezed the hideous meat wrapped in lotus leaves into his arms, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, if His Royal Highness the Second Prince didn't agree......

As soon as he thought about it, he immediately shook his head, telling himself to stop thinking nonsense. The mind has been decided, and there is no doubt about it.

Passing through the bridge corridor on the lake and going around a few long forests, a solemn mansion appeared in front of me. The mansion was magnificent, more like a palace.

Green bricks and tiles, cornices and corners. The sparkling waves of the lake are reflected on the paper-like walls, dyeing the carved jade palace with a damp and cool atmosphere, and the moonlight flows into the courtyard wall, making the whole mansion contain cold vicissitudes.

What is surprising is that on the plaque hanging high, there are three Zhujin seals - the Prince's Mansion. There is no "two" on it, could it be the mansion of the eldest prince?

But he looked around by the light, and there were no other mansions, so he shouldn't be wrong......

Lin Suqing walked to the door with bated breath, and was just about to raise his hand to clasp the door, when the door soaked in ink automatically opened. He looked left and right and saw that there was no one, so he timidly continued to walk inside.

"Lin Suqing!" The night was as quiet as water, and the dog's voice suddenly appeared, resounding in the night sky. was so frightened that Lin Suqing stumbled, and almost flew out the hideous meat he was holding in his arms.

"You're scared me to death!" Somehow, even though he had seen the dog's magical powers during the day, Lin Suqing still couldn't afford to be afraid of it.

When I saw it appear at this time, I wanted to sigh a little - finally his uncle let me find it.

The dog sniffed around him, his eyes were stunned, and he said in amazement: "You actually broke the branch of the poor mulberry to roast the meat?"

In Lin Suqing's dazed expression, it continued to ask, "Do you know that poor mulberry is ...... Who planted it?"

The appearance of the dog made Lin Suqing sweep away the cowardice when he was alone and helpless before, and somewhat returned to his usual state. He said in a trance: "It can't be planted by His Royal Highness the Second Prince......"

The dog glanced at him, and it was clear that the answer was wrong. Lin Suqing was waiting for the dog to explain, but the dog avoided answering, and only said, "You come with me." ”

He didn't ask any more questions, but took matters of little importance, and hurried with him.

......

Passing through the corridor, they stopped in front of an inner garden on the east side.

The dog raised its little paw to signal Lin Suqing to stop, and it ran in lightly by itself, and came out after a while, and said to Lin Suqing: "Go in." ”

When Lin Suqing heard this, his Royal Highness the Second Prince must be in this garden.

He bowed down and held two packets of hideous meat above his head, entered the garden respectfully, and presented it to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who was sitting at the stone table in the garden: "Your Highness, the hideous meat is roasted." ”

He now has a request for the second prince, and he doesn't dare to speak as recklessly as before.

The second prince poured himself a glass of thin wine by taking advantage of the faint moonlight, and his breath was as cold as ever. He glanced at the hideous meat that Lin Suqing was holding, but there was a sudden flash of surprise in his indifferent eyes.

"Who taught you to use poor mulberry as a roast?" but the tone was still indifferent.

Lin Suqing was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "I don't recognize what kind of tree it is. It's just that I once read in a book that the branches of the lychee tree are used as a cooking season, and the roasted meat will be particularly fragrant. I saw that the tree was somewhat similar to the lychee tree...... It's folded. Lin Suqing immediately knelt down: "Your Highness forgives your sins." ”

"Let's get out. The second prince's tone was indifferent and he didn't blame.

For a moment, he saw Lin Suqing standing still, still kneeling in place. He just looked sideways, his eyes shining with a quiet light under the moon, and said quietly: "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Suqing immediately kowtowed to the ground, pleading: "I want to learn skills from His Royal Highness, cultivate to become an immortal, and have a good chance to go home to take care of my mother in the future......" As soon as half a syllable came out of the word mother, he hurriedly changed his words: "My mother." ”

The second prince glanced at him, drank all the wine in the cup, and said lightly: "If you have nowhere to stay, you can stay in this mansion for the time being." You can only be a slave, and if you don't do it, you can leave. ”

When Lin Suqing heard this, it was impossible to go. Although his studies were rejected, fortunately, the second prince was willing to take him in. The coming day is long, and the matter of cultivation can be mentioned again when you find an opportunity, so you might as well stay first.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince. Lin Suqing kowtowed, then got up and exited the garden.

As soon as he exited the threshold, the dog came out of his way and stopped him: "You wait. ”

As soon as the words fell, it ran into the garden. Not long after, he ran out with the two bags of hideous meat that Lin Suqing had just offered.

Lin Suqing saw it running on two legs, for fear that it would fall, so he hurriedly reached out and took it: "This ......"

The dog said proudly, "The Lord has rewarded me, let's go over there and eat." "As if it were expected.

It happily ran towards the Huxin Pavilion, and Lin Suqing hurriedly followed with two bags of hideous meat.

As soon as he sat down, he heard the dog say: "Count your fate, the Lord never needs a servant, you are the only one." ”

It is no wonder that such a magnificent palace does not see any guards and palace maids patrolling or serving.

"Dog ......" As soon as Lin Suqing started to speak, he was immediately slapped with an oily slap by the dog's paw.

I only heard the dog say angrily: "You are a dog!

Lin Suqing covered his face and wiped the oil stains on it, and suddenly remembered what he had heard from the conversation of the egret by the shallow water of the reed flowers......

The dog turned out to be the Wind Chasing God Monarch?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Thinking of the courage of the dog when he fought the beast during the day, Lin Suqing was suddenly a little afraid of it.

In order to avoid being torn into scum by the dog in a rage, Lin Suqing sincerely apologized before daring to continue asking: "I see that you and Your Highness are more surprised that I folded the poor mulberry to barbecue, is there any reason for this?"

The dog was stunned, and hurriedly buried his head in gnawing on the hideous meat, and muttered: "There is no reason, don't ask more in the future." Qingqiu is a little particular and can't be said. If you don't want to die, talk less and do more. ”

The dog finished eating the meat in three or five bites, patted his belly and jumped off the stone bench, turned his head and said to Lin Suqing: "There will be lights to guide you, and the Lord has given you a huge room." ”

The dog is worthy of the name of chasing the wind, and he always disappears in the blink of an eye.

Almost as soon as its voice dissipated into the night, a moth with blue in pink circled around the dead wind lantern hanging on the pavilion in the center of the lake, and turned into a slim female Jiao'e when it fell.
