At night, in the dormitory of King Zhou's mansion, Zhu Youjiao leaned on the bed with a curtain, looked at the dark and empty beams with blank eyes, and let out a long breath. A maid sat on the edge of the next bed, leaning over and gently beating his calf, while another maid sat on top and was feeding him a bowl of thick medicinal soup.

"Father" Zhuzi, the son of the king, hurriedly came in and bowed to him.

Zhu Youyi glanced sideways at him and waved his hand to the two maids, who immediately got up and bowed their heads and retreated.

"Sent her there?" Zhu Youjiao said slowly.

"Yes, Wang...... She had already gone down to the prison of the government office, and the young man was personally guarded by people, and the guards were very strict. Zhu Zi replied.

"Hmm......" Zhu Youyi's face softened a little and bowed slightly.

"Father," Zhu Zi hesitated for a moment and asked, "The body of the second brother is still in the morgue of the mansion, do you want to ......take it back?"

"Son" Zhu Youyi's flabby face immediately seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, clenched his fists and roared: "He is no longer your second brother, he is a traitor, a traitor"

"Yes, father, my son is wrong." Zhu Zi looked at his furious appearance and felt a panic.

"You think the widow is ruthless, don't you?" Zhu Youjiao gasped and said, "Do you know what crime he has committed? It's a rebellion," his face turned red, "If you don't draw a line with him, once you are convicted, the heads of everyone in our mansion will not be enough for the emperor to cut off." ”

"Father," Zhu Zi stepped forward and pleaded, "Yang Qianhu is willing to write a testimony to prove that the second brother left the mansion because he was killed in a battle with thieves, and he absconded in fear of crime......

"You are too naïve," Zhu Youyi sighed, "Yang Muyun's testimony alone, how can he block the mouths of all the civil and military officials in Shangkaifeng City, he is the one who privately transmits the widow's order, and he is the one who leads the troops to detain the civil and military officials, and under the mouth, he has destroyed the bones, not to mention him, I am afraid that the widow will not be spared......" smiled suddenly, "The widow has played the emperor, please ask the emperor to remove the widow's prince, and send Fengyang Ancestral Tomb to atone for his sins......" Looking at Zhu Zi, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly," The widow also asked the emperor to let you inherit the title of King of Zhou......"

"Father," Zhu Zi was taken aback, "the son is crazy and has a loss of virtue, how dare he take on such a big responsibility?" ”

"Don't get excited," Zhu Youyi's mood calmed down at this time, "After this incident, it is still unknown whether Wang Yijue can be handed over to you again this week, even if our whole family is reduced to a commoner, you must not be resentful......" Gaze said lightly, "If the Son of Heaven is Hongen, you can't bear to surrender to sin, you should be three provinces of my body, no longer arrogant, do good deeds, and cultivate virtue, you can do it yourself." ”

"Father......" Zhu Zi knelt on his knees, bowed to the ground, and sobbed.

"If you really don't want to be king, wait until the year of the son and the weak crown, and you will pass the throne to him." Zhou Youjiao said and slowly closed his eyes.

In the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, Chu Mingxin lived alone in a cell. The cell had been cleaned, and there was a bed and a low table, and the couch was covered with clean bedding. She used to be the princess of the Zhou Palace, and she has not been finally convicted, so the Liang Governor does not dare to be too lazy.

Chu Mingxin sat quietly facing the wall on the bed, the clothes on his body were still very plain, his hair was neatly combed, and he did not look embarrassed because he was in prison. Outside the cell door were five soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, not ordinary government jailers, and it seemed that the government attached great importance to her care.

Everything is like a dream, so real and so illusory. Once, she was one step away from success, if the victims had not been limp and unable to move, if the old manager had not died, if ...... Chu Mingxin sighed, there will not be so many ifs left in this world, the timing has changed, and the former opportunities are gone and will never return.

I'm afraid this is fate, right? After Yang Muyun arrived, everything changed, he seemed to be the natural opponent of the Guanyin Sect, no matter where he went, he would shatter the seamless plan of the Guanyin Sect, Luzhou, Huai'an, and now Kaifeng, the white jade banner under the command of the young master, and Du Yueniang's fierce flame banner were all defeated by this fifteen-year-old boy. Now, it's his turn to be the golden flag, is he really the nemesis I teach? Chu Mingxin looked at the pitch-black prison roof and sighed leisurely, everything is over, whether he is willing or unwilling, it is impossible to start all over again.

A white shadow flashed outside the cell door, and a furry thing got in, and it rubbed against Chu Mingxin's side, wagging its tail, cocking its pointed mouth, and staring at it with a pair of round fiery eyes.

"It's a fox." Chu Mingxin's eyes narrowed slightly, it was impossible for the prison of the government to get into a snow-white fox for no reason, of course she knew where this fox came from, "I didn't expect it to be her, she actually came in person." ”

The snow-white fox circled around her, turned around, and quickly emerged from the wooden gate of the cell, disappearing into the dark passage of the cell......

"Something seems to have run over just now?" A soldier said.

"I saw it too, and it was a white fluffy cat." Another soldier said.

"How do I feel like a dog?" Another soldier said.

"Isn't it just cats and dogs, and it's worth making a fuss about?" A Wu commander spoke, he glanced at Chu Mingxin, who was still sitting quietly in the cell, and scolded the four soldiers: "Take a good look at this Qin prisoner, if you let him escape, the heads of the four of you will not be enough to cut off." ”

In a secluded house in the palace of King Zhou.

"Brother Leng doesn't seem to be in big trouble, Brother Yang, Ning Gongzi, you don't have to worry." Zhu Zi looked at Leng Yifei, who was sitting quietly on the bed, and turned to Yang Muyun and Ning Zuer and said.

"Third Highness, are you sure?" Ning Zuer was still a little uneasy, "He was hit hard by the old manager in the back of his heart, and he couldn't even walk at that time." ”

"Brother Leng has his own set of pranayama healing methods, and he doesn't need to rely on the power of medicinal stones." Leng Yifei resolutely refused to let him take the pulse, and Zhu Zi had to helplessly persuade him.

"What a weirdo," Yang Muyun glanced at Leng Yifei, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, and said secretly in his heart: "Always turn away other people's kindness." ”

"Brother Yang" Zhu Zi became interested in Yang Muyun, grabbed his wrist, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your pulse has stabilized, and your luck is no longer stagnant at all, is it possible that you can't take any Divine Pill Immortal Grass?" ”

"His Royal Highness is joking," Yang Muyun withdrew his wrist, not wanting to say anything about Ah giving medicine, so he said: "This Yang can't say anything, it seems that this Gu poison has suddenly disappeared." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Zi saw that he refused to tell the truth, so he stopped asking questions.

"The three of them have been bothering in the prince's mansion for a long time, and they wanted to leave tomorrow to bid farewell to the prince," Yang Muyun said and looked at Leng Yifei, "I don't want Brother Leng to be injured again, it seems that it will take a few more days to delay." ”

"I'm fine," Leng Yifei opened his eyes and said slowly: "The injury on Leng Mou's body is not worth it, and there is no problem in moving on the road." ”

"Are you really alright?" Yang Muyun couldn't help but ask more.

"I know my own injuries," Leng Yifei glared at him coldly, "Yang Qianhu, I've been here for half a month, aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame?" ”

"That's, that's," Yang Muyun had no choice but to say, "What Brother Leng said is extremely true," and said to Ning Zuer: "Master Ning, I think we should go back and pack our bags and prepare to leave tomorrow!" Otherwise, when I get to Jingshi, I will be commed by Brother Leng, and I can't afford to be guilty. ”

"Brother Yang has decided, and this son has no choice." Ning Zuer said with a smile.

"Ning Gongzi, are you leaving?" Zhu Zhiqing on the side shouted, "No, I don't want you to go." ”

"County Lord......" Seeing her say this, Ning Zu'er couldn't help but look bitter, "I have official business on my side, so I can't delay here for a long time." ”

Seeing that the pair of little enemies were entangled here again, Yang Muyun smiled slightly and walked quickly outside the house.

......

"Brother Yang" Zhu Zi also chased him out and called him to walk side by side.

"Third Highness, are you still in trouble?" Yang Muyun asked.

"Brother Yang is really going north tomorrow?" Zhu Zi asked.

"His Royal Highness also heard it," Yang Muyun smiled bitterly: "Leng Yifei was sent by the Jinyi Wei Beisi to pick me up from the north, if I don't move for a long time, I will be talked about." ”

"That being the case, the son has something to ask for, and I ask Brother Yang to agree." Zhu Zi stopped and bowed.

"Third Highness, this can't be helped," Yang Muyun hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, "Yang's life was saved by the Third Highness, as long as the Third Highness is useful to Yang, I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." ”

"Brother Yang is serious," Zhu Zi said solemnly: "Brother Yang is going to Beijing here, he will definitely be able to see the emperor," Ning Shen looked at him and continued: "Brother Yang also saw this matter, and asked Brother Yang to say something for my father and brother in front of the emperor, so as not to let them be wronged." ”

"What the Third Highness means, Yang understands," Yang Muyun said: "The prince and the prince are loyal to the emperor, they are all victims of traitors, not out of their own hearts, Yang will definitely make this matter clear after seeing the emperor, and please rest assured." ”

"Thank you so much," Zhu Zi bowed, hesitated a little and said: "And my second brother, he was also deceived by a traitor, so he did something wrong, and he is dead, and I hope Brother Yang ......"

"Third Highness," Yang Muyun hurriedly held his arm, "The stakes are clear, Yang Mou knows the stakes, don't ask His Highness to say more, but ......" He paused slightly and continued: "What His Royal Highness did has been done in the eyes of all the civil and military officials in Kaifeng, and it is not something that Yang can clearly tell." Then he said in a low voice: "This matter has to ask the prince and the prince to mediate, so that all the officials in Kaifeng can eliminate this misunderstanding in their hearts, so that the second highness can return the innocence ......."

"This, I'm afraid it's difficult," Zhu Zi looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, "The body of the second brother is still parked in the morgue of the Kaifeng Mansion, and my father has decided to draw a line with the second brother, ignore this matter, and don't let me and the eldest brother interfere......"

"Draw the line?" Yang Muyun frowned slightly, "What does this mean, Lord Wang?" ”

"The second brother has been removed from his father's name," Zhu Zi smiled bitterly, "From now on, there is no such person as Zhu Zi among the children of my Zhou Dynasty's line." ”

"The prince is wise to protect himself, there is nothing wrong with this?" Yang Muyun comforted: "The crime of rebellion is to be beheaded all over the house, and the prince's actions are also for the sake of the Zhou Wangfu. ”

"How can I not know what my father meant," Zhu Zi suddenly felt a little excited, and arched his hand towards Yang Muyun, "Brother Yang, I didn't say what I said just now, let's say goodbye again." As he spoke, he turned and walked south.

"Where are the Third Highnesses going?" Yang Muyun saw that he was not going to the residence, so he beckoned and asked.

"The second brother was lying alone in the mansion, and he couldn't bear it, and he wanted to see him again." Zhu Zi said as he walked.

"Then Yang will go with His Royal Highness." Yang Muyun was moved in his heart, so he quickly chased after him.

Above the high prison wall, two black shadows suddenly flew up, their bodies were elegant, and they barely made a sound when they jumped up the high wall, their eagle-like sharp eyes quickly glanced down, and then quickly lowered themselves to avoid being discovered.

There were four jailers patrolling the courtyard under the high wall, two people in a team, patrolling side by side, they didn't notice anyone on the high wall at all, two black shadows were condescending, two pairs of eyes stared at their every move, and suddenly they jumped down together in tacit understanding, silently pounced on the four jailers.

Two dark shadows pounced on the two jailers with their backs to them. Almost instantly, all four jailers received a blow to the back of the head at the same time, and they fell to the ground without saying a word. The two black shadows were extremely agile and immediately supported their bodies.

......

"Who?" A soldier guarding Chu Mingxin's prison saw a black shadow flashing at the entrance of the passage, and couldn't help but draw his knife and ask.

"You two go and see," the captain gestured to him and another soldier.

Both of them drew their swords, protected them in front of them, and cautiously walked out of the passage. Wu Chang watched the two of them walk out, his figure disappeared at the entrance of the passage, his heart tightened, and his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the knife.

After a while, the two of them turned back again, and the knife was back in its sheath and walked quickly towards Wu Chang.

"Didn't you find anything?" Wu Chang's heart was relieved and he asked them.

The two didn't answer, and walked straight towards him, Wu Chang felt that something was wrong and was about to draw his knife. Listening to only two muffled snorts, the two subordinates around him had been knocked down, and then their necks were cold, and a snowy blade was already attached to their necks.
