Among the many island countries in the South Seas, the White Elephant Country can obviously be regarded as the most powerful, and it is located on a major transportation route, so Chu Xiang has secretly asked people to beat around the bush and win over more than once. It's just that Nava has always been upright and cautious, and he is not optimistic about the plan of this down-and-out prince, and he only wants to have a good relationship with Chu Yuan and jointly develop routes, so he plays Tai Chi to persuade the lobbyists to leave, and he is just as unmoved as he is to let the other party promise more and more benefits.

It's just that although Nava rejected the other party, Naxi Thorn may not be of the same mind as the eldest brother. He has always been ambitious, and he has long coveted the vast land and abundance of Great Chu, and Chu Xiang may have learned this, so he changed his strategy and began to send people to contact Naxi Thorn frequently.

Upon learning of this, Nava was furious and sent troops to surround Nasi's mansion and ordered him to close his door and think about it. Three months later, Nava reluctantly forgave the younger brother after sobbing and kneeling to apologize, vowing never to have anything to do with the traitor again.

"It's been two years since this incident, and I thought he had really turned back as a prodigal son." Nava sighed, "Actually, now that I think about it, during the time I was preparing to go north, he did have a lot of time to be abnormal, as if he couldn't wait for me to leave. "I didn't think there was anything at the time, but when I think about it now, even the cracks in my bones are cold.

"My younger brother returned to Wangcheng the day before yesterday, and he also said that there seems to be something wrong in the White Elephant Kingdom." Chu Yuan said, "Chu Xiang's people frequently enter and leave the palace, this time it is not sneaky, but above board. ”

Nava's face turned a little paler when he heard this.

"But it doesn't matter." Chu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "The lord of the country is sincere to me Da Chu, and I will help you regain the throne." But there's one more thing I want to ask the lord of the country. ”

"Emperor Chu, please speak." Nava nodded.

"There is a lot of trade between the White Elephant Kingdom and the Siamese Kingdom, I wonder if the lord of the country knows anything about Wu Deng?" Chu Yuan asked.

Navarroy hesitated for a moment and said, "Wu Deng is a very shrewd person, and he is also very good at observing the direction of the wind. However, he and Kunda's family are distant relatives, and Kunda married a Goryeo princess, and it is said that he also figured out that Guò Jintai had a relationship with Da Chu, so he should not be bought by Chu Xiang so soon, at most they will not be touched. ”

"That's right." Chu Yuan nodded, "I understand, thank you Lord of the Kingdom." ”

"What is Emperor Chu's plan?" Nava asked.

"After the lord of the country recovers from his injury, let's go out with me." Chu Yuan said, "Go and regain what you lost." ”

Nava bowed slightly: "Thank you Emperor Chu." ”

When the two walked out of the bedroom, the courtyard was empty, only Sixi was guarding the door. said that Jin Shu had helped Kunda back to rest, but Ye Jin was forcibly taken away by Shen Qianfeng, saying that he was going out to eat the roast chicken stall that came out at night.

Duan Baiyue felt that if there was a chance in the future, she would definitely have a drink alone with Shen Mengzhu.

"It's so late at night." Chu Yuan glanced at the bright moon in the sky, "Let's go, let's go back and rest." ”

Duan Baiyue liked this sentence very much, so she took his hand and walked towards the dormitory together.

“

What are you thinking? Chu Yuan asked.

Duan Baiyue said: "War." ”

"There hasn't been a war yet, what do you want to do?" Chu Yuan said, "Don't think about it." ”

Duan Baiyue agreed: "Okay." ”

After a while, Chu Yuan asked again, "What are you thinking about now?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "You." ”

The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth bent, and he continued to step on the stones on the road slowly.

Sixi followed behind, covering his mouth and snickering.

"Brother, Your Majesty." When crossing a path, I happened to see Duan Yao walking by, holding a bunch of things in his hand.

"Where?" Chu Yuan asked.

"There's the old man." Duan Yao said, "My predecessor said that there are interesting things for me, well, that's all." ”

"Hidden weapon?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Not exactly, there are also wooden whistles and wooden magpies." Duan Yao said, "There are still a lot of leftovers there, and my predecessor asked me to come over tomorrow morning, saying that they would teach me how to do the craft." ”

"Whitney? I should have gone to bed earlier. Chu Yuan said, "Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow." ”

"Then I'll go back." Duan Yao gathered the small things that kept falling down in his arms, "The emperor also rested earlier." After speaking, he added, "And my brother." ”

"Go ahead." Chu Yuan straightened his hair for him and watched him leave with a smile.

"Why are you so nice to this little ghost?" Duan Baiyue asked sourly.

"I'm not the only one who is good to Yao'er." Chu Yuan said, "Xuantian seniors are willing to teach him to dissolve the burning star, and the old man is willing to teach him to do crafts, do you know that this is an opportunity that many people in the Central Plains want to do?" ”

"Yao'er has a good life when she is young." Duan Baiyue said.

Chu Yuan asked, "What about you?" ”

"I'm good too." Duan Baiyue wrapped one hand around his waist, "With you, my life is the best." ”

"That's nature." Chu Yuan patted his chest with the back of his hand, "Queen Mother, whose life can be better than you." "If it spreads, all the women of the world will pull their handkerchiefs.

When I passed by the library tower, I saw that the lights were still on in the courtyard. Sixi explained on the side: "Back to the emperor, it's Lord Wen." ”

"Wen Aiqing." After being reminded by him, Chu Yuan remembered, "You haven't gone back yet?" ”

"I didn't come back, Master Zhao also came, and accompanied Master Wen to read a book." Sixi said, "This library tower has seven floors, even if Lord Wen can read books at a glance and ten lines, it will take more than a month to climb to finish." ”

"Let's have some supper prepared in the Imperial Dining Room and send it over." Chu Yuan said, "Tell Wen Aiqing again, go back and rest earlier." ”

"Yes." Sixi beckoned to the chamberlain and whispered an order. Chu Yuan asked Duan Baiyue, "What about you?" Do you want to have a late-night snack? ”

"Are you hungry?" Duan Baiyue said, "I'll eat with you." ”

"I'm not hungry, I don't have an appetite." Chu Yuan pointed to the side, "You often came to the palace when you were a child, do you remember here?" ”

"Chu Xiang's Jingfan Palace, naturally remember." Duan Baiyue said, "Is anyone living now?" ”

Chu Yuan shook his head: "After Chu Xiang was exiled, this place was also empty. ”

A mouse squeaked, ran out of the door, and jumped into the flowers.

Chu Yuan frowned in disgust.

"Not seized?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"After the house is raided, it will naturally be seized." Chu Yuan said, "It's just that it's been a long time, and there are many people in this palace, it is inevitable that some people want to steal chickens and dogs, a seal and an iron chain, and if it is removed, it will be removed." "Even if everything of value has been returned to the treasury, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Chu Xiang is notoriously extravagant, even if the officers and soldiers only miss a jade pendant and a pearl, it is enough for ordinary people to live for several years.

"Let's find someone to seal it again tomorrow." Chu Yuan said.

"Yes." Sixi said, "The old slave will inform the king tomorrow." ”

"Let's go." The night was cold, and it was gloomy here, and Duan Baiyue didn't want him to stay longer for a moment.

Chu Yuan nodded, turned around and just wanted to leave, but a big mouse came out again, holding a bright yellow rag in his mouth, although it was dirty and worn, he could still see the auspicious clouds and sun shading on it.

"This ......" Sixi was a little stunned. Although it shows that the yellow material can be used by the prince, this auspicious cloud pattern can only be worn by the prince, how can it appear elsewhere.

"Your clothes?" Duan Baiyue drove the rat away, squatted down and looked at the cloth—it was the underwear that was worn closely. He was used to breaking into the prince's bedroom when he was a child, so he could naturally recognize it.

Chu Yuan glanced at Sixi.

"It's indeed the emperor's underwear, and it should be ** years old depending on the size." Sixi replied, Chu Yuan has been served by him since he was five years old, and he remembers what clothes he wore and what hats he worn. Chu Yuan was afraid of the cold in winter and refused to wear silk and satin, so the queen ordered to weave this batch of materials, which was different from the rest of the princes, it was much softer, and it was not as bright as brocade, which was easy to recognize.

Duan Baiyue said, "I'll go in and take a look." ”

Chu Yuan frowned: "I'll go too." ”

Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand to push open the door, and the dust fell down, it seemed that this place had already been looted, and no one had been here for a long time.

The dead trees in the courtyard cast ever-changing shadows on the walls in the light of torches, and a few more jackdaws would be truly creepy.

The rats from before squeezed in through the crack in the door again, and they were not afraid of people, so they just ran back. Duan Baiyue and Chu Yuan followed, and saw that it had entered a dilapidated house, and after a while, he pulled out another piece of clothing, looking like he was going to prepare for the winter.

Duan Baiyue held the torch and kicked the door open. There was no one inside, the breath of ** came to the face, the tables and chairs were messy, the beds collapsed, the curtains were covered with cobwebs, all of them were gray and heavy, only a lot of clothes were piled up on the ground, and there were some other colors. Sixi took a closer look and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, these are all your underwear when you were young." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "It should have been hidden in the bed by someone, but it was pulled out by the mice after the termites collapsed with an empty plank." ”

Chu Yuan's face was extremely ugly.

Duan Baiyue drew his sword and split the bed board a little more, it was still stuffed with clothes, and there were some gadgets, a wooden whistle jade flute hairpin, and a portrait, which was Chu Yuan's face when he was young, but the posture was obscene and unsightly.

Sixi was terrified, this ......

Duan Baiyue's face turned pale, and she crushed the portrait: "Lao Tzu chopped him." ”

"This is not Chu Xiang's bedroom." Chu Yuan looked at him.

"Who's that?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan paused and said, "Liu Jinde, he is ten years older than Chu Xiang and has strong martial arts, he will often accompany him to practice swords, if it is late, he will rest here." ”

"Let's go back first." Duan Baiyue said, "I'll search again tomorrow, and the people from the Southwest Mansion will be here tonight." ”

Chu Yuan was held by him, but his palm was cold. For as long as he can remember, he has only loved one person, and he feels that doing everything with him is sweet, hugging, kissing, and lingering happiness that comes naturally. There have never been other people in my eyes, so I have never noticed that I have been remembered by others in such a dirty way for more than ten years. Now when I think of those seemingly inadvertent physical touches, I almost feel sick.

"Alright." After returning to the dormitory, Duan Baiyue patted him on the back, "It's okay." ”

Chu Yuan said, "Hmm." ”

"Take you to a hot spring?" Duan Baiyue asked, her voice gentle and hoarse, "Sleep when you're tired, I'll bring you back." ”

Chu Yuan said: "Okay." ”

Duan Baiyue picked him up and strode out of the dormitory.

Chu Yuan kept burying his face in his chest, but Sixi could see clearly that the eyes of the King of the Southwest had never been so cold.
