Behind the palace is a small abandoned garden, covered with yellow vines and grass, and the ruined fenced roof shows its former elegance. The dilapidated flower pond is full of dirty and rotten grass roots, and the black soil and white snow are mixed. Kang Yang took Helian Tao to the side of the palace from the gravel path on the side, and said: "Although this place is dilapidated, I have already cleaned up the front hall, and it is not cold at all, do you want to go in and have tea and rest?"

Kang Yang tried his best to spend more time with Helian Tao, looking at him expectantly, but his heart was full of worry and panic, and he didn't have any extra time to pay attention to others. There was snow of varying heights in the yard, and when he saw Kang Yang stopping here, he looked around, turned around twice, and saw a hole about the two of them passing by a broken snowdrift. "Is this it?"

Although Kang Yang was disappointed, he still squatted beside Helian Tao and replied, "Well, that's right, it's here, you see! There's nothing to see in the black hole, it seems to be very deep." ”

"When did you find out?" Helian Tao rubbed in his arms for a while, took out a fire fold, lit it, and threw it from the hole. The short dim light of the fire, with Helian Tao's eyesight, he couldn't see the bottom of the cave. Kang Yang leaned over and said, "It was discovered by the palace maid who came here to clean around me early this morning, and I only told you one person." Did you see anything? I didn't see anything? Could there be dead people in there?" Kang Yang grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she had seen the palace maid who threw herself into the well in vain, and she got goosebumps when she thought that she often came here alone.

"Yes!" Helian Tao said with certainty, if this place can lead to the underground palace, Kang Yang may be in danger again, so it is better for her not to be curious. "I see the bones of a man's foot, let's go, this should be just an abandoned well, you are not allowed to come again!

Kang Yang heard that the dead man's foot bones hadn't reacted yet, but he was startled by Helian Tao's stern tone, and her arrogant and rebellious nature made her subconsciously retort: "Don't give it!" After speaking, he felt that Helian Tao was worried that she was in danger, his eyes rolled, and said: "It's okay to give it to you, you have to promise me to take me out of the palace next time." ”

"Good. ”

Kang Yang saw that Helian Tao's eyes were burning, and the small fluctuations in his heart gradually converged into a torrent. "Really, you didn't lie to me?" Helian Tao nodded, Kang Yang smiled and took out the key to the back door of Lingling Garden from his purse and handed it to Heliantao, accidentally touching his cold and rough fingers, the throbbing in her heart was even more uncalm, this was the first time she willingly handed over her things to others.

The evening breeze blew, and the surrounding grain grass and snow droplets flew up and made a shuddering sound, Helian Tao straightened up and said to Kang Yang: "It's getting dark, you should go back quickly, I suddenly have a little urgency, so I won't go to the Queen Mother, and I'll go to her old man's house another day to say goodbye." After saying that, he took the lead in raising his feet and exiting the same way.

"Hey, Brother Tao, how can you say that you can just leave, the winter days are short, and there is still a long time before the palace is forbidden. Kang Yang fell out of Lingling Garden with Helian Tao and grabbed his sleeve. Helian Tao directly locked the back door, and said to the little girl slave next to Kang Yang: "It's so late, hurry up and take the county lord back." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Kang Yang's heart was empty, and he stomped his feet angrily: "Brother Tao...... do you like me?" In the second half of the sentence, she only dared to ask herself in her heart. The slave had already known her master's thoughts, and because of Kang Yang's willfulness, she only dared to follow her words: "County lord, the prince is so concerned about the safety of the county lord, if it wasn't for a sudden emergency, he would definitely accompany the princess back." ”

Kang Yang looked at Helian Tao's back as he left quickly, she had finally gotten so close to him, if she hadn't taken this opportunity, maybe the next time they met, he would be cold again. "No, I want to follow him, except for the things ordered by the king in the palace, what other important things does he have to do at this time? I will follow him, can he really turn a blind eye to me?"

"County Lord!"

"Shut up! If you say one more word, I'll demote you to the rank of the last palace maid!"

Helian Tao walked out of the palace gate and galloped all the way, but the gate of the Confucian Mansion was closed. The old steward was polite and polite: "Shizi, the prince is not in the mansion at this time, I don't know what is going on with you?

Helian Tao turned around twice in the same place, "Since that's the case, I'll come back another day." ”

He didn't know anything about the dungeon. If you rush in, you may not be able to see Xiao Wu until you die. But if it drags on, what should I do if something happens to Xiao Wu? For now, I can only go back to my house to ask Mr. Hong for advice to see if he has any solution. It's just that if Mr. Hong knew that he was going to save Xiao Wu, would he help him......

In the southeast corner of the palace, the Confucian King sat on the tea seat, raised his slender and powerful fingers with distinct bones, and dropped a sunspot, and said to the person opposite: "Mr. is good at chess." ”

The person on the other side chuckled, "You and I have been friends for many years, and in this game, you should do your best." ”

"Shizi!" Helian Tao had just dismounted and walked towards the gate of the mansion when he heard Jia San calling him in a low voice. As soon as he turned around, he saw that in the opposite alley, Jia San rudely put the green pigeon under his armpit and gestured at him. Helian Tao moved over and looked at Qingge suspiciously, "Let's go into the house with me first." ”

Kang Yang worked hard, and finally stood at the door of Helian Mansion, but the porter said: "County Lord, the prince is not here......"

"Dog minion, do you think I am blind!" Kang Yang kicked on the porter's body, "I saw that Shizi had just entered, and there was a woman behind him!"

The porter screamed bitterly, who dared to touch a finger of the dignified county lord of Kangyang, rolled on the ground along Kangyang's foot, and begged for mercy on the ground: "County lord, the prince has something important to do, and he ordered not to see the guest." ”

"Get out of here!" There were still a few small guys on the side who were about to stop, Kang Yang said angrily: "Which of you dares to touch one of my fingers, do you want to commit the next crime!"

The third person is Helian Tao's person who deliberately stayed in the Li Mansion, if it wasn't for something important, he would never leave the Li Mansion half a step, Helian Tao looked at the green pigeon: "Why are you here, what's going on in the Li Mansion?"

Qingge pounced in front of Helian Tao: "Shizi, do you have any news of the girl?" Mrs. had a miscarriage last night, and the third master didn't know where she went, Mrs. She...... Half of the man is dead...... If the girl has any three strengths and two shortcomings, the prince will send me to accompany the girl...... "Qingge was really panicked, when Xuexin told her the news that Li Shuci was kidnapped, she could barely calm down, but when she saw the hatred in her wife's eyes, and the half-dead look, she suddenly remembered that Li Shuci had said that she dreamed that the Li Mansion was destroyed and died......

"What?" Helian Tao's gaze looked at Jia San, "Why didn't you come to report last night?"

Jia San approached Helian Tao half a step and said in a low voice: "Shizi, my subordinates followed Young Master Li last night and saw Young Master Li enter the Confucian Palace. But the strange thing is that no half figure has ever come out of the Confucian Palace......"

"Shizi, between the girl and the Confucian king, it is definitely not so simple. Qingge gradually couldn't suppress her crying, she grabbed the hem of Helian Tao's clothes, and pleaded: "Now the only person the girl can trust is you, the son, and only you can save the girl...... The ...... of the Prince"

As soon as Kang Yang got closer, he heard the next half of the sentence, and suddenly became angry, who is it?

The people in the house all looked at the door when they heard the voice, and the little maid just reported, "Shizi, the county lord of Kangyang has broken in...... Kang Yang pushed him away and walked into the house, "Brother Tao, who is this woman?"

Qingge raised her teary eyes and looked at her inexplicably, I don't know what happened to Kangyang, could it be that Kangyang is the same son...... Qingge subconsciously withdrew the hand that pulled Helian Tao's hem. Kang Yang's most beautiful girl flattered in front of Helian Tao, and she looked at Qingge with anger in her eyes: "It's you? I've seen you! You are the girl next to Li Shuci!"

Helian Tao was rarely smart at this time, and understood the meaning in Qingge's eyes, "Kangyang, what are you doing here!

Kang Yang grabbed Helian Tao's sleeve, frowned at him, and said aggrievedly: "Brother Tao, what's going on? Isn't that Li Shuci the Confucian princess? What does you have to do with her? Why did this girl come to beg you?"

Helian Tao's breath was suffocated, she was the princess of Confucianism...... "Kangyang, what are you going to do! Go back!"

Kang Yang's eyes didn't want to leave Helian Tao for a moment, she was familiar with the strange looks of the people around her, she was very sensitive to this matter, and when she saw Helian Tao's face change, she knew that he was the same as herself, with deep feet in mud, and she couldn't love. It's just that the person in his heart is not himself. "Brother Tao, are you serious...... Do you really have no true feelings for me? The person you like is ......?"

"Shut up!" Helian Tao's forehead jumped, "You don't know what you're talking about!

Helian Tao turned around and stepped out of the room, Xiao Wu was still waiting for him, and he couldn't delay any longer......

"Don't force me!" Kang Yang pulled off the red gold hairpin on his head, shook his head at his snow-white neck, and shook his head back, sadness overflowing from her hair and voice: "Brother Tao, you are my only thought in this world...... If it weren't for you, I'd still be dead......"

Helian Tao froze in place, he just gave Kang Yang some insignificant comfort when he was a child, this is a person as stupid as him. He looked at Kang Yang's helpless eyes: "Kang Yang, don't be stupid, put things down." ”

"I don't!" Kang Yang's face showed a hint of a smile, "Brother Tao, why would you rather like someone else's woman than stay by my side, I would rather die!"

The slave exclaimed, "Don't be the county lord!"

Helian Tao's electric flint and flint palms blocked in front of Kang Yang's snow neck, and the sharp golden hairpin pierced the palm and pierced through the back of his hand. Blood splattered on Kangyang's face. Her screams stopped abruptly before she could utter them, and she fell to the ground. Helian Tao withdrew his palm and said, "Send her back to the palace." At that moment, he even felt that he should promise Kang Yang that at least he could make someone not suffer as much as him, but he couldn't say anything......

Because......
