The two came down from the top of the mountain, and Xiao Mo said with some guilt: "I blamed you before. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"You are not from Yan Guo, naturally you don't know the hidden secrets, the palace is full of dangers, but it is safer than you being alone, you just need to live in peace, I can protect you."

"I said I wanted to help you, how could I be alone, or do you think I can't deal with King Jing?" Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows.

Ling Tianxu frowned lightly: "King Jing is insidious and cunning, he even dares to kill the king and usurp the throne, I am afraid that it will be dangerous for you to get involved." ”

"I haven't seen anyone yet, don't be alarmist." Xiao Mo smiled, and when he looked down, he found that there were many footprints on the ground, as if someone had just come, and there was more than one person.

"Look." Xiao Mo pointed to the footprints.

Ling Tianxu was also suspicious: "How can there be so many footprints in this inaccessible place?" ”

Xiao Mo had palpitations about the dark arrow last time, and now that there are so many suspicious footprints, could it be the killer sent by King Jing?

Xiao Mo became vigilant, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he and Ling Tianxu quickened their pace.

"What kind of hatred do you have with that King Jing, and I still refuse to let you go."

"If it weren't for me, the monarch of Yan Country would be him now, how much enmity do you say this is?" Ling Tianxu said calmly.

Xiao Mo was curious: "So you robbed him of the throne?" ”

Ling Tianxu tugged at the corners of his mouth disdainfully: "I am the only son of the first emperor, the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, inheriting the emperor's throne is justifiable, can I grab it?" ”

"If it's justifiable, then why is the power falling?"

"My father is seriously ill, King Jing has been in power in the name of the regent for many years, and his foundation is deep, even if I sit on the throne, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all people of King Jing, and the queen mother has to compromise in order to keep my throne and let King Jing continue to govern."

Xiao Mo said with deep eyes: "If this is the case, then your mother is right, King Jing's power is leaning towards the government and the opposition, you have just sat on the throne, if you rashly seize power with him, you will definitely be the one who suffers." ”

"Even if I forbear, he may not let me go, this wave after wave of killers, he can be described as painstaking!" Ling Tianxu's tone became heavier.

Seeing a person sneakily peeping through the crack in the door from a distance, Ling Tianxu pulled Xiao Mo's sleeve: "What kind of person is that?" ”

Xiao Mo saw the suspicious person and hurriedly said, "It's still important to save your life now." Then he and Ling Tianxu found two trees to hide from them.

Seeing that the peeping person was reluctant to leave, coupled with the previous footprints, Xiao Mo guessed that most of Ling Tianxu's whereabouts had been exposed, and there was already a danger outside.

"I'll go over and see, they're looking for you, and they won't do anything to me." Xiao Mo said, walking towards the door.

The man was still looking in front of the crack in the door, and Xiao Mo coughed behind him.

The man was startled, turned around and looked at Xiao Mo in panic.

Seeing that he looked frightened, Xiao Mo became more vigilant and asked, "Who are you, why are you sneaking around here?" ”

"I ...... I'm the second child in the rice shop in the Yamashita Market, and I come every month...... Come and bring rice to this family. ”

This explanation did not dispel Xiao Mo's doubts, she looked at the person in front of her, and asked, "Since you are here to deliver food, the old gentleman has already received the grain, why don't you leave?" ”

"Yes...... It's this old man who is drunk, and he has no relatives at home, I ...... I'm afraid he's going to get drunk. ”

"Drunk?" Xiao Mo was surprised, pushed the door open a little and looked in, it was not the old man who was holding the wine jar in the courtyard and pouring wine into his stomach.

Believing that he was telling the truth, Xiao Mo dismissed: "I'm staying here temporarily, if there's nothing to do, you can go." ”

"Okay, let's go." Xiao Er left in a hurry.

When Xiao Er's figure disappeared into the woods, Xiao Mo called Ling Tianxu out, walked into the courtyard with him, and closed the door after cautiously looking outside.

"Feng Yang, you hate to be a teacher, I don't blame you for being a teacher......" The old man was drunk.

"Who is Feng Yang?" Ling Tianxu was puzzled.

Xiao Mo said lightly: "It's the old gentleman's apprentice, and I have also seen this person's signature on the title page of those codexes, but the old gentleman never wants to mention him more." ”

Ling Tianxu glanced at the drunken old man and said to Xiao Mo, "Why don't we help him in to rest?" ”

Xiao Mo shook his head lightly: "The old gentleman must have something unpleasant in his heart, let's stop bothering him with wine, according to the old gentleman's temperament, if he is stopped from drinking, maybe he will have to settle accounts with us tomorrow." ”

"How long are you going to stay here?"

Xiao Mo sighed: "I wanted to stay for a while, but now it seems that this place is no longer safe, we are in danger, we can't affect the old gentleman, and I will resign to him when the old gentleman's wine wakes up tomorrow, if the old gentleman can agree to me to take those books, it is naturally good, if you don't agree, you can't force it." ”

In the early morning, when Xiao Mo opened the door, a gust of frost and wind hit, and the wine jar on the stone table in the courtyard was in disarray, and the old man was nowhere to be seen.

Ling Tianxu also walked out, saw Xiao Mo and asked, "It's so cold, you still have to go up the mountain to collect medicine today?" ”

Xiao Mo nodded: "Since you are leaving, you have to pick up more for the old gentleman to keep, which should be regarded as a thank you to the old gentleman."

After noon, the old man still didn't come out, so Xiao Mo and Ling Tianxu went up the mountain to collect medicine together.

"Don't you think this old man is weird?" Ling Tianxu asked as he walked.

Xiao Mo smiled: "There are more weird times, you just haven't seen it." ”

"Obviously a poison master, he has raised so many poisonous insects, snakes and ants to refine poison, but he wants you to learn detoxification."

Xiao Mo thought for a moment: "I think there must be something hidden in these rooms, maybe it has something to do with Feng Yang." ”

Ling Xu looked up at the mountain: "Forget it, don't care about what is hidden or not, it is better to leave as soon as possible." ”

"What, can't wait to take me to your palace?" Xiao Mo quipped.

"It's blood into medicine again, and it's medicine with your own hands, Brother Xiao's great kindness, how can you not repay it, and you want what you want when you get to the palace."

After accompanying Xiao Mo to climb the mountain for a long time, his mouth was dry, and Ling Tianxu opened the water bladder and drank a few sips.

"You are the emperor, then, do you have a concubine?"

"Ahem...... this sudden question made Ling Tianxu almost choke.

"It seems so." Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows.

"Why do I suddenly ask this question, and I say no? Could it be that you want to ......" Ling Tianxu stared at Xiao Mo with a wicked smile, "Yes, if you want to go back to the palace with me, you still have an identity, Rong Zhen think about it." ”

Xiao Mo glanced at him and raised the corners of his lips: "I have already thought about my identity, so I don't bother with it." ”

"Why don't you ask me if I agree, not all women have this blessing, like you Qi Guo, at least you have to be a beauty like Qu Duhuan to get into my eyes." Ling Tianxu looked at Xiao Mo with a blank eye, looking embarrassed.

Xiao Mo sighed and said with a smile: "Qu Duhuan, you can't see it, and I don't dare to climb high, I just hope that the king can keep me by my side as a guard, okay?" ”

Ling Tianxu was obviously a little disappointed: "Guards? ”

Xiao Mo picked an herb and put it in the bamboo basket, patted the dust on his hands, looked at Ling Tianxu and said unhurriedly: "That's right, it's the guard, what's the matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you?" Don't forget, it's all thanks to me, otherwise you'd have died a long time ago. ”

"Quick...... Keep up with ......"

Suddenly, a noisy footstep accompanied by human voices came from not far away.

Xiao Mo's heart tightened, and he turned his head, but the forest was dense and he couldn't see the person who came.

"So fast?" Xiao Mo looked at Ling Xu.

"Looks like a lot of people are coming, the imperial guard, it's up to you." Ling Tianxu clasped his hands and looked at Xiao Mo with a smile.

"When is it time to still have the heart to laugh, let's go." Xiao Mo pulled Ling Tianxu and walked briskly into the depths of the woods......
