16. Second watch

Emperor Zhou Liangtian put down the wine glass in his hand: "Get up, I just don't look down on these red tapes, and I kneel at every turn, which makes people upset." ”

Everyone stood up and stood aside, Liu Wu glanced at the emperor who was still sitting upright, and few emperors in office generally had a good end, but I didn't expect that this Great Zhou Dynasty was really filial piety.

"The last time I went back to the capital was a few years ago, I didn't expect you to remember Grandpa Huang."

"The emperor and grandson dare not forget."

"Do you remember the guy next to me?"

"I've seen General Wu Yan."

"Don't dare to be old, the two princes are invited to get up."

Liu Fu rolled his eyes, what kind of person can make the prince pay homage? The impact is too great, the bag brought back two people, a emperor, a general, look at the bag that is watching the lively, is this the blessing of the legend? packed up the "upper" room and stayed overnight for the distinguished two, but at dawn Zhou Yiyun looked at the empty guest room and sighed: "Forget it, the imperial grandfather is like this, he comes and goes without a trace." ”

"Why don't you go out and look for it? Wouldn't it ...... when you're so old?"

"Those two are much safer than me, and my father had a will, no one was allowed to disturb the emperor's grandfather, the Great Zhou Dynasty except for the emperor's grandfather were more than 60 Zen positions, and the emperor's grandfather was 40 years old away from the Chaogang Zen position to his father, he didn't like the powerful, just wanted to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes."

"Who is the one next to Grandpa Huang?" Liu Fu lazily ignored him, just wanted Zhou Yiyun to solve his doubts.

"General Wu, the name of General Wu was also passed down from him, when the emperor's grandfather had no intention of ruling the government, he was assisted by this person, known as the most powerful general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this person was very ambitious, recovering the surrounding small countries, expanding the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at that time everyone doubted whether the world would be replaced by him, until the imperial grandfather decided to take the throne, he also stopped his ambitions, followed the imperial grandfather to retire to the countryside, did not ask about the world, I heard that there is a more noble supreme emperor where they live."

"Supreme Emperor?"

Zhou Yiyun smiled: "Yes, several retired emperors have passed away at the age of about 100, and the Supreme Emperor is only in his 80s and should still be alive, but no one knows." Su'er ....... ”

"What?" Liu Wu is still digesting this series of information, and he can't grasp the problem in any sentence at this turn.

"In the future, we will live like the emperor's grandfather."

"Cut, you're thinking too much."

Zhou Yiyun's face was full of disappointment: "Okay, let's talk about it later, I'll go to the palace to see my father, otherwise the news will come out...... Alas. ”

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

After listening to what Zhou Yiyun said, Zhou Yuhuang was angry: "He didn't go back to the palace to see when the old man showed up." ”

"Father or grandfather's wish. Erchen looked at the emperor's grandfather in good health and was very chic. ”

"Hmph, one by one, they are still my emperor's grandson, now take a closer look, the eleventh prince does look similar to the emperor, no wonder Bao Bao is suspicious."

"Father, don't compare like this, the emperor doesn't dare to be."

"That's good, you don't have that glory, I compare it with the emperor and grandson." Zhou Yuhuang took a sip of tea: "You are already famous, why are you still not motivated all day, tell me how long you have been back in Beijing, how many times have you been in court?" ”

"Father, my son is recuperating from his injuries."

"Recuperate? Are you embarrassed to say this excuse? Zhou Yuhuang thought that he had taken over the burden from his father at his age, and he was tired all day long, but this eleventh prince came and went freely and unrestrained.

What was the purpose of the father's and the man's trip?

Not only did Emperor Zhou Yuhuang have questions, but everyone in the court also had different ideas, Emperor Taishang suddenly appeared and stayed overnight in the eleventh prince's mansion, why? Liu Fu felt funny when he heard the rumors, and it seemed that he could turn the ordinary actions of ordinary people into conspiracy, and even a small action could be infinitely magnified by what he said and did. No wonder they are declining before they get old. The Emperor and the General Wu of the Scholar's Family, energetic, carefree, have few folds on their faces, and although they are nearly 70 years old, some people will believe it when they say 50. Looking at Zhou Yiyun, who had been nervous for the past few days, Liu Wu described him as worrying, but what happened a few days later made Liu Wu know what kind of price he would suffer if he was in this whirlpool.

On this day, the palace came to report that the queen had summoned her. Zhou Yiyun sighed, Liu Wu sighed and entered the palace at noon, but was intercepted by Zhou Yuhuang, Zhou Yiyun went to face the saint, Liu Wu felt bored and walked out of the palace gate, and walked out of the carriage to a crowded place Liu Wu jumped out of the carriage, and walked forward on foot, and received two bunches of miscellaneous flowers halfway, and praised himself: The greatness of the power of idols, just entered the eleventh prince's mansion, and the maid around Tao Ye asked to see him in a panic.

"Master, it's not good, Master Peach is gone."

"Gone?" Before the willow leaf tea was entered, he was shocked by the news, Zhou Yiyun said some time ago that people in the backyard were forbidden to go out of the house casually, and Taoye broke the rules today? "Did you go to see his mother's family?"

"Master, no, they only handed over the post when General Wu and you went on the expedition, Master Tao has always been suspicious of his mother's family, and he won't take the initiative to see them."

The more Liu Fu listened, the more he didn't understand, where else did his brother go except his mother's family? As far as he knows, the peach leaves are really homely, can it...... Liu Wu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up the little girl ring: "Before he disappeared, did he have any unusual behavior?" ”

The little girl, who was already flustered, saw the master's expression at this time, and wanted to cry even more anxiously: "Master Peach, after practicing boxing, I suddenly asked the slave to ask where the little master was, and the slave inquired and reported, the little master and the guards in the house went out of the house to slip the horse, and the face of the peach master changed." Master, the slave has never been lazy and has been by the side of the peach master, but he asked the slave to go to the quiet room to pick up clothes, and when he came back, he found ...... I found him gone. The minions don't dare to look for them everywhere, so they can only wait for you at the door of the main house. ”

"Little bud, where's the bag?" Liu Wu hurriedly asked.

"The little master has just returned home and is still bathing, and Xiao Ya will bring the little master over immediately."

"No need, go to the peach master's yard to have a look."

Liu Fu looked at the room full of all kinds of books, if he didn't know the identity of the peach leaf, he would really think that this was a literati's room.

"Where was the house when Master Peach asked you?"

"At the desk."

Liu Wu rummaged carefully on the desk, without looking at the slightest clue, if someone led him out, it was impossible not to leave any clues: "ClothesWhere is the clothes of your master's boxing, find them quickly." ”

The little girl hurriedly turned out of the basin to be washed, grabbed the catkins in her hand, and found a note from the inner pocket of her clothes: I want the eleventh prince's son-in-law to be safe, and come to Daxiang Temple alone at noon. Liu Wu clenched the note: "This idiot, Wang Fan, you wait for a few people to take this girl ring in the main house to protect it, in case others are unfavorable to him, and ask a few people to take me to Daxiang Temple, quickly." ”

Liu Wu waved the horsewhip tightly, thinking about his own carelessness, Tao Ye lived next to the side door, his status was not high in the house, he had no relatives and no reason, it was best to start, and he was only for the bag on a note, so he went to take risks, Liu Wu was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and when he arrived at Daxiang Temple, Liu Wu ordered: "Find it separately." ”

And at this time, although the peach leaf was covered in injuries, but still protected the person behind him, he was forced to this place after he arrived at Daxiang Temple, from the mouth of the sneak attacker, he knew that the person behind him was the eighth prince, and his cheap life can protect the emperor's relatives and relatives It is not in vain, the eighth prince threw away his cane and said to the four black-clothed people in front of him: "The person you want to kill is me, let him go." ”

"Hahaha, the eighth prince, you can't stay, he is an important person, tomorrow there will be rumors inside and outside the capital that the concubine in the eleventh prince's mansion will assassinate His Royal Highness the eighth prince." Peach Leaf's whole body trembled with anger when she heard this, would her carelessness bring such a catastrophe to the Eleventh Prince's Mansion? The stability that the master sacrificed his life to seek was cut off by himself.

"You guys are really a good plan, you know my itinerary, choose to start when I worship the Buddha today, this plan is not formed in a few days, presumably when my eleventh brother goes out to return to Beijing, you are already planning."

"Don't talk about it, go on." The four black-clothed men slowly approached the Eighth Prince, and Peach Leaf was about to barrage it with his bare hands, but he was stabbed in the lower leg by the crossbow and fell to the ground, and the Eighth Prince sneered: "I am a Fei person now, why do they dare to kill them all?" ”

The crossbow jian released the cold arrow again, and the great pain of Momoha stood up but unfortunately only blocked one shot, and the other shot hit the eighth prince, when the eighth prince took a step back and fell into the cliff, Momoye grabbed his arm with his right hand, hooked the protruding stone with his left hand, and the two hung on the edge of the cliff: "Let go, you can find a way to escape." The Eighth Prince said desperately to Peach Leaf.

Tao Ye turned a deaf ear, he didn't know what he was waiting for, he just thought that he couldn't let the Eleventh Prince's Mansion be wronged, as long as the Eighth Prince was alive, although he knew that his efforts were futile, he just didn't want to give up. When the four black-clothed men approached the edge of the cliff, they suddenly opened their eyes and didn't have time to exhale pain, so they fell forward, they didn't know who they were killed by until they died, Liu Wu put out the knife in his hand, ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down, looking at the hanging two people and scolding angrily while reaching out to pull the peach leaf: "You stupid, don't use your brains? Exercising is a fart, and it refines all the brains. ”

As soon as the hand touched, Momoye shouted: "Master, don't ......"

The catkins were lying on the edge of the cliff, there was no focus point, the peach leaf felt the stone falling off in his hand, just stopped it, but the catkins grabbed his hand, the weight of the two people on the edge of the cliff held him off the cliff, the catkins instinctively grabbed and pulled any object that hindered the vertical fall, how could they not support the three people at all, and after grabbing a branch, there was a soft "click", endured the pain of the dislocation of the arm, and shouted at the breakfree of the peach leaf: "Shake off your stupid X idea, and now you give up?" I fucking wasted my soul. "I glanced down and breathed a sigh of relief, the current height is sloped from the ground, and if you roll down from here, you shouldn't be able to die, right?" The clenched tree trunk snapped in response, and the three of them rolled to the bottom of the cliff.

Emperor Zhou Yuhuang also told Zhou Yiyun about his father-son relationship in the main hall, and urgently reported outside the palace that the eighth princess and the eleventh prince's mansion came to ask to see him. Zhou Yiyun felt ominous and hurriedly ran out of the palace, only to learn that the Eighth Prince, Liu Wu, and Peach Leaf had disappeared so far, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Zhou Yiyun came to Daxiang Temple looking for the clues of people and things left by Liu Wu, and saw the guards who followed Liu Wu in the mansion, and only led him to stay on the edge of the cliff in his hand, and was furious: "Isn't it the princess who let you follow all the time?" Listen to me, if the princess has an accident, you will all decide on your own, don't use to see me, and leave your life for me for the time being. His hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were cold.

"What, the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Prince are missing?" Zhou Yuhuang ordered with stern eyes: "The palace guards and secret guards are looking for it together, this brother has just won the reward, and this incident happened, so that the people of the world will say that I can't tolerate a brother's contributions?" Check it out to me. ”
