The room was a little dim, and the only light flickered ethereally, shining on Zhu Qizhen's face, making Zhu Qizhen's face always a little blurry.

Xu Bai looked directly at this man, if nothing else, this man was the master he would serve for many years to come, and it was Xu Bai's heaven. He had thought about this man's destitude and misery in Nangong, but he didn't know that all his imagination and everything he saw with his own eyes would be so different.

He didn't see anything he wanted to see in this man.

"It's been seven years, and I thought everyone was dead!" Zhu Qizhen muttered to himself: "It's been seven years, and you finally remember me!" ”

Xu Bai was silent, he didn't know who you in Zhu Qizhen's mouth included, presumably excluding him.

"Where's Ha Ming?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"I don't know!" Xu Bai was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know.

"You don't know this, you don't know that, what are you doing here?" Zhu Qizhen became a little irritable: "Are you here to see my joke?" ”

"Don't dare!" Xu Bai lowered his head and replied in a low voice, Zhu Qizhen in front of him seemed to be a little moody, it turned out that how to talk after seeing Zhu Qizhen, how to ask for the command of the hidden guard, he had already thought about these things many times in his mind, but at this moment, he found that he didn't even have a chance to speak.

Zhu Qizhen looked into the darkness for a while, and suddenly said, "What's the situation outside?" ”

"Your Majesty, Prince Huaixian has died, and he is seriously ill today!" Xu Bai pondered the words and said slowly: "The ministers of the court and the central government have their own thoughts, and the situation outside is stormy!" ”

"What is my son's depth?" A hint of resentment flashed in Zhu Qizhen's eyes: "Is he okay?" ”

"The prince is well!" Xu Bai replied: "It's just that after the abolition of the prince today, the crown prince was renamed the king of Yi!" ”

"What bullshit King Yi!" Zhu Qizhen sneered: "My son is the prince, he deserves Zhu Jianji's little bastard to have a short life, and he wants to be the prince without the blessing of the prince, can he bear it?" ”

Xu Bai didn't dare to speak out, the resentment on Zhu Qizhen's body was like substance, at this time, how dare he, a courtier, say more.

It's probably been a long time since I've talked to anyone outside, and Zhu Qizhen's situation was just a little excited, but after all, it was seven years of solitary confinement that gave him enough heart, and after venting a few words, he finally calmed down slowly.

"Xu Bai!" He nodded slightly: "It's a good name, at first glance, it is the name of a loyal minister and a righteous man, Yuan Bin can contact you, and you haven't been idle outside for the past seven years!" ”

"Your Majesty, Yuan Baihu doesn't know the identity of the minister, and the minister doesn't plan to let him know!" Xu Bai said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has forgotten the identity of the ministers and other hidden guards, except for the Son of Heaven, everyone else is an outsider?" ”

"That's right!" Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up, this was the first time Xu Bai saw Zhu Qizhen in good spirits since he saw Zhu Qizhen.

"Even if I lose everything, I still have you, and you ancestors left me with the Ping Domain, these chaotic ministers and thieves can't even dream of it, even if I am locked up in this Nangong for seven years, I still have you loyal ministers who are willing to go to the soup for me!"

"The duties of the ministers will never be forgotten!"

"Is Jiangnan good?" Zhu Qizhen looked at Xu Bai, his face showed a hint of flushing, obviously he thought of something.

"No matter how good Jiangnan is, it's not as good as Jingshi!" Xu Bai replied.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Xu Bai and almost instantly understood the meaning of Xu Bai's words, he let out a long sigh and became a little meaningful: "It seems that you came today to save me from this cage?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to go out, and it is natural to go out from the gate of this South Palace, and go out under the greeting of civil and military officials!" Xu Bai said: "The minister came here today to do so that His Majesty can do this one day!" ”

"Are you okay?" Zhu Qizhen sneered: "Eight years ago, the North Zhili Hidden Guard accompanied the driver and personally marched, and the whole army has been wiped out, and now there are how many people are there in the South Zhili Hidden Guard, how many are the officials, how many are the generals, and how many are the people?" ”

"Your Majesty must not be depressed!" Xu Bai cleared his throat: "Your Majesty's side, there have long been loyal ministers such as Ha Ming and Yuan Bin in Ming, although they are not allowed to be reused now, but they still have some strength, I am in the south of the hidden guard, because I have not been recruited by His Majesty, although I don't know the available people, but, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, there will always be a group of loyal ministers and righteous people to die for Your Majesty, not to mention the ministers in the court, the heart of Your Majesty does not know the geometry, in the palace, the Queen Mother will take care of Your Majesty as always, as long as Your Majesty is calm, There will always be a day when the clouds open and the moon will shine! ”

"Huh!" Zhu Qizhen laughed, and the smile was a little crazy: "I didn't expect that I was actually comforted by a little hidden guard of you today, it's really ridiculous when I think about it!" ”

"What does Yuan Bin mean?" He glanced at Xu Bai coldly: "It's not to send you in so hard, it's not to ask me for peace!" ”

"Yuan Baihu just wants to protect the safety of the Emperor!" Xu Bai replied: "He feels that if the situation changes greatly, he is afraid that someone will be unfavorable to His Majesty!" ”

"If anyone had done anything against me, I would have died years ago!" Zhu Qizhen sneered: "Nangong is the cage that imprisons me, how can it not be the place to protect me, as long as the Queen Mother is still a day, and Zhu Qiyu is still concerned about the people of the world, I will not die!" ”

"Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens!"

Zhu Qizhen ignored this clumsy sycophant and glanced at him: "What about you, what do you want?" ”

"The minister is willing to recruit Jiangnan hermit guards for His Majesty and swear to protect His Majesty to the death!"

"The Cloud Talisman of Me has long been left behind in the Civil Wood Fort!" Zhu Qizhen looked at you: "Even if I think you are loyal and let you lead the Jiangnan Hidden Guard, I won't be able to take out any cloud talismans!" ”

"Your Majesty's token, if Your Majesty comes in person, Jiangnan Hidden Guard, if you don't comply with the call, you will be killed!" Xu Bai said expressionlessly: "The court has raised them for a hundred years, if they can't be used, it's better to abandon them!" ”

"I don't know how many more can be used!" Zhu Qizhen muttered, untied a small seal from his waist and threw it to Xu Bai: "This seal can be used as a token, you go to recruit people who are willing to die for me on my behalf, and tell them that if one day, I can get out of this cage alive, I will live up to them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes slightly, as if feeling the cool breeze blowing from outside, and continued unhurriedly: "After you go out, take this seal and go to see the prince first!" ”

"Obey the order!" Xu Bai bowed slightly, holding the small seal in his hand: "The minister retires!" ”

"Go, don't let me down......" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand a little tiredly, looking at the flickering lights, the whole person didn't move again.

Xu Bai nodded slightly and quietly exited the room.
