After a long drought, Liguo finally received a heavy rain today.

Nan's mood is obviously good. The long-parched earth finally saw rain, and even the temperature dropped a lot.

Soon, the country will be able to arrange farming, and this disaster will finally be over!

This happy event also made people busy, and since the noon parting, Nan Yu has not come to find Liwu and Ziyu again.

Because of the hot weather, the appetite closest to the worry is shallow. The temperature was cool today, and she, like Pu's mother, ate a small half bowl of rice and went to bed early.

At night, all around is silent. Not only are they worried, but the local residents of Liguo have to get up early to prepare for tomorrow's farming, so they are already asleep before the time comes.

In the middle of the night, Ziyu suddenly opened his eyes, and he heard the sound of footsteps near the street.

"Whoa!" saw someone break through the window, and Ziyu had turned over vigilantly to stay.

There was no light in the room, and he could not see the human figure, but he knew that the one who came was not good.

Ziyu grabbed the short knife that had been placed under the pillow a long time ago, and stood aside vigilantly.

Slowly, his eyes adjusted to the darkness, and he fought with the comer several times in the hazy moonlight.

There was a crackling sound in the house, and the footsteps were chaotic, Ziyu's heart tightened, and there were five people.

Suddenly, the cold blade was pressed against Ziyu's neck, and Nanyu's voice rang in his ears: "Who are you?"

Ziyu stopped struggling, smiled lightly, and pretended to be calm and asked, "Brother Nan, I'm naturally Hua Yi!

Nan Yu said coldly: "You still have to lie to me!!"

When the words fell, I saw him flick his fingers, and immediately someone held the oil lamp, and Li Wei was also taken out of the back room with Pu's mother in his arms.

Looking at this formation, I felt a sound in my heart, did I finally show my feet?

Nan Yu glanced at her lightly, then turned around and said to Ziyu: "I have been sending someone to thoroughly investigate your affairs. The forest rogues who were captured not long ago have also been arrested, but they have not robbed any medicinal herbs. Recently, only about 40 of the caravans that have come and gone to Liguo have entered our borders in the name of selling medicinal herbs. But those 40-odd people are spies from your country! Just yesterday, we took a lot of effort to capture two of them! Most of you people are afraid of dying badly, and they can't stand the heavy punishment, so they have all been recruited!"

"Oh, it's a good thing that they recruited, what do I have to do with it?" Ziyu bit her bite and didn't want to admit it.

The captives said that they had come to make a map of the border. This is also the great prince of the country, named Ziyu. The eldest prince was lost on the road, and the body was not found, and his age and height were the same as yours, do you dare to say that it wasn't you!!" Nan Yu said viciously, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Ziyu knew that she couldn't hide it, so she laughed loudly: "Yes, I am the great prince, but I am by no means your enemy!"

Nan Yu snorted coldly, and then snapped his fingers again.

The attendant on the side handed over a stack of papers, and Nan Yu took it and threw it in front of Ziyu.

In the dim light, the paper was scattered, and the faint handwriting on it was faintly visible.

"This is from this room, the map of the kingdom you made! We treat you as a guest, but you go around surveying the terrain and say that you are not an enemy?"

Not to be outdone, Ziyu said: "This is the decision of the current monarch of the Wei Kingdom, what can I refute but do it? On the contrary, if I really want to eradicate you, I will find an opportunity to kill you in the first place! What does your status mean to this country, do you think I don't know?"

Nan Yu was silent for a while. The current monarch of this kingdom is old, and sooner or later this highest position will be his. But they talked around the fireplace at night, they sang under the moon, they even competed in swordsmanship, Ziyu had a great chance to kill him directly, and even made the people of the country panic, and then the country took the opportunity to attack, and he could also win in one fell swoop, but he didn't do it!

But even if everything was strange, Nan Yu did not send away the dagger in his hand.

On the contrary, he forced over fiercely, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Instead of believing in you and giving you another chance to kill me in the future, or destroy my country, it is better for me to eradicate the grass and eradicate the roots today!"

There was faint blood oozing from Ziyu's neck, and Li Wu was about to step forward, but was fiercely blocked by other soldiers.

"Nan Xu, Hugh wants to move my brother!" he shouted hoarsely, and the corners of his eyes were red with urgency.

"Don't make a noise, be careful, I'll kill you first!" Nan Yu said hatefully.

Ziyu saw that it was involved, and suddenly became anxious: "If you want to kill, you will kill, my sister is just a woman, this matter has nothing to do with her, and she can't be any master!"

Nan Yu bit his lip, but he couldn't do it for a long time.

Ziyu saw that Nan Zhi was still hesitant, and that there was still a turning point in this matter, so she immediately asked: "Nan Xu, think about it, why did Xiao Jiu and I encounter a sudden attack? If it wasn't yours, whose person would it be?"

Nan Yu squinted his eyes slightly and pondered: "What do you mean...?"

Ziyu explained in a deep voice: "With the current state of Weiguo, the most fierce battle is the battle for the throne of the monarch. As the eldest son, you should know whether I have the qualifications to compete! The reason why we have suffered on this trip is because the prince of the future kingdom is ready to move and wants to cut me down and eradicate the roots!

Nan Yu paused, and quickly thought about what Ziyu said in his heart.

After a while, he looked at Ziyu and said, "Even if what you say is true, whether you are killed or not will have no impact on our country." ”

When the words fell, he smiled to himself: "If you and I have a relationship, I will give you a good time! This knife is very sharp, goodbye, the great prince of the country!"

"Don't !!," he shouted heartbreakingly.

"It has an impact!" Ziyu said suddenly and loudly.

"What's that? I've run out of patience!" Nan Yu was already visibly impatient.

"If I become a monarch, I will allow you to manage the country with ten thousand taels of gold every year!" Ziyu shouted sternly.

Nan Yu was stunned, and the knife in his hand was finally completely released.

Ziyu glanced deeply at Liwu, and Liwu nodded at him, and then he mustered up the courage to continue.

"My father's body doesn't last much longer. If you had the help of the country, even if I was not the crown prince, I might have sat in that position. ”

Nan Yu pondered, and then asked, "Then what if you don't have that ability?"

Ziyu said with a smile: "At that time, the dust settled. You don't need to do anything, the first thing the new monarch will do after he succeeds to the throne is to get rid of me!"

Nan Yu laughed: "You are very open-minded!"

Saying that, he made a gesture, and the people withdrew their attacks, and the people who had originally caught the worry also let go.

He ran two steps away from sorrow and threw himself into Ziyu's arms, checked his injuries left and right, and then stared at Nan Yu fiercely, almost biting it.

Nan Yu smiled casually, thinking that he had really angered the person who should not be provoked.

He asked Ziyu, "What are you going to do next?"

Ziyu looked around at the others, her eyes fell on Nan Xu's body, and she said in a deep voice, "Then it depends on how you plan to help me." ”

Nan Yu understood, and immediately withdrew from the others.

"Say it!" Nan Yu leaned the knife against the wall and sat idly on the couch, without a hint of defense.

Ziyu bowed her head and continued, "If you just plan to let me go, let me go back to my camp. At that time, the prince's men will still want to kill me, and I will have to resign myself to fate again! But if you can help me eradicate that cancer, and when I return to Weiguo safely, I will have a chance to compete with the prince!"

Nan Yu sneered: "Speaking of which, you are just convincing me to be your knife and cut through thorns and thorns for you!"

Ziyu didn't hide, but said with a faint smile: "Yes, I just want you to be my knife." So, Brother Nan, are you willing?"

Seeing him speak frankly, Nan Yu's brows relaxed.

He stood up and patted Ziyu on the shoulder: "Okay! I will choose to be your sword today! It's just that I can't help you in the struggle for the throne of the monarch in the future, don't let me down, I lost this deal in vain!"

With that, he closed the door and walked out.

The sound of horses' hooves moving away came from the quiet street, and Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed softly.

He felt a chill behind him, and the sweat that had been nervous had soaked his shirt.

Li Wu took his hand and smoothed out the clenched fist.

Ziyu slowly calmed down and raised her eyes to look at her.

"You don't have to take those words seriously. I just hope that Nan will spare us and escort us back to Weiguo safely. I won't fight for the throne of the monarch!"

Li Wei's brows tightened: "Are you afraid of involving me and the Hua family, right? Also, I know that everything you just said to Nan Yu is true! Empress Yan has already had a murderous intention for you, if you really wait for Lu Quan to sit in that seat, he will definitely kill you!"

Ziyu smiled: "Where can I be killed so easily?

Li Wei bit his lip: "Brother, you've thought about this a long time ago, right? Otherwise, when Nan asked you, you wouldn't have answered like that! I can see your eyes... The mother concubine said that men have the right to dominate the ambition of the world, brother, you are the same, right?"

Ziyu's eyes flickered, lowered her eyes, and said, "I don't..."

Li Wei grabbed his hand: "Brother, what are you running away from? You look at me, look at me!!"

Ziyu sighed heavily and looked at Liwu.

She said softly, "Brother, I said you can, you can!

Ziyu was stunned, and always felt that there was something desperate to endure that was about to burst out.

Li Sorrow hugged him and pillowed his head on his shoulder: "Sorrow will help you, you are not alone." ”

Ziyu slowly closed her eyes. After a long time, he raised his hand and hugged her back, tightly.

He was also afraid, he was confused, and he would want to rely on. It's just that he lost his mother at an early age, stumbled over alone, those days, those grievances and begged for satisfaction, in such a big world, but only one person could understand him.

Whether it is Concubine Hua or others, it is just simple pity and charity for him. There is only sorrow, only sorrow!! she believes in him, does not underestimate him, and dares to risk the world to affirm him!!

Time flows, but everything stands still.

Ziyu looked up, and the shadow of her and Liwu was printed on the wall. Embrace each other, as if they were one person.

The sound of "whirring" rang in my ears through the window lattice, and the oil lamp on the table went out suddenly.

Ziyu thought calmly, the wind was blowing...
