Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Qinhuai Chapter 041 Loyalty, Fiction and Reality

"You don't need to know about it." Mo Cang returned to the front of the case without a trace, shook off the robe behind him and bent down to sit down, ignoring Ashin's hesitation, just glanced at it with cold eyebrows, and at the same time picked up the wolf hair again and dipped it in ink.

Ashin followed the prince's gaze and finally landed on the map. Obviously, he could hear that the prince was always reluctant to say those unknown words, but he had to ask for a reason today, even if it was the last bit of trust in the prince's heart, he had to ask, although he knew very well that he was asking a prince.

Immediately afterwards, Ashin stepped in front of the desk step by step and knelt down with a calm face.

The prince paused, stopped the pen hanging in the air, and immediately looked up at Ashin. A drop of ink quietly dripped down. "Ashin, what is this doing?"

"Ashin is not doing well, please punish His Highness." Ashin said solemnly, with no expression on his face.

Mo Cang suddenly lowered his head and looked at it, which was where Ashin's eyes froze. He knew that Ashin was pleading for the map. Putting down the heavy pen, Anran said: "This picture is true, it was the palace that blamed you before, you get up!" ”

"Ashin's failure to protect His Highness in time led to the almost destruction of the entire East Palace." Ah Xin said, and the words were bloody.

Mo Cang was a little surprised, not because of the drawings, but because of a matter that had nothing to do with him. But, from what he said, how it seemed that he knew something, maybe it was his normal speculation, no matter. After pondering for a while, Mo Cang said without a trace: "Go and return, this palace is safe and sound, what are you guilty of?" ”

"Your Highness, don't lie to Ashin again," Ashin's self-reproachful look suddenly flashed with a smile, and then he looked at the prince's puzzled eyes, and then stated: "After Ashin received the order to find the white bait, he hurried out of the East Palace, but in such a hurry, Ashin found the prince token that His Royal Highness carried with him in the lawn outside the palace,"

As he spoke, he took out two tokens from his waist and sleeves, one given to him by the prince, and the other was the prince's belongings. Due to the entanglement of the knots, the two tokens rotate silently.

Ashin moved his gaze back to the prince again, and the prince's face was obviously full of surprise at the moment, but he was not surprised at all, but continued to state: "Ashin has the courage to speculate on His Highness's thoughts at the moment, His Highness may want to say now that His Highness's token was lost after returning to the East Palace. But facts speak louder than words, and when Ashin picked it up from the grass, it was covered with frost and dew, and it was cold to the touch, and it was evident that it had been in the lawn for a day and a night. One can imagine how difficult the situation of His Highness must be after losing the token! ”

Ashin has followed the prince for so many years, but whenever the prince travels in micro-clothes, he shows people with a mask, if there is no prince token by his side, I am afraid that the prince is only a small one among all living beings in the eyes of everyone. But the prince has been raised in the deep palace since he was a child, where has he tasted the sinister outside, where has he been able to live a simple and vegetarian life, one day and one night, what kind of situation should it be!

Ashin didn't dare to think about it anymore, but just put the two tokens in his hand, presented them to the prince, and swallowed his heart full of sadness: "Please punish Your Highness!" ”

"The token was lost by the palace itself, and the responsibility is the palace itself, besides, you don't know about the front and back, and the palace won't blame you." Mo Cang said lightly, his eyes became a little heavy, and he seemed to be in a bath.

Now that the crown prince would rather blame himself than punish him in any way, is the prince really just more magnanimous than others?

No, when a person pushes everything on himself, it can only mean that the person only believes in himself. What reason does a person who only believes in himself have to blame others? Obviously, the crown prince at this time no longer believed in him.

But from beginning to end, where he asked for the prince's punishment, what he asked for was just an opportunity for him to listen to the prince tell the truth!

Ashin buried his head down, and the token in his hand was grasped tighter and tighter. The self-deprecation in my heart is getting more and more

Many, the prince is so smart, can't he really hear it? He just didn't want to say it.

At this point, Ashin didn't need to excuse himself anymore, he slowly withdrew his arms and got up tremblingly from the cold ground with his legs weighing a thousand pounds. In the afterglow, the prince was already engrossed in that drawing.

There is no choice but to retreat.

Ashin took a step, and when he turned around, he suddenly stopped, looked back again, and suddenly asked: "Your Highness has always been rigorous, not only asking others to do things without leaving traces, but also asking yourself to do things without leaving traces. But has His Royal Highness seriously thought about how the Crown Token, which has been with him for more than ten years, could be quietly left behind? ”

was asked by Ashin for a while, Mo Cang paused, paused, and said lightly: "I have been fighting in the deep palace for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be distractions, which is actually normal." ”

A person who has been cautious in his words and deeds for eighteen years has left such an important thing, and he actually said that it is normal? Ashin suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

"Your Highness can deceive yourself, but Your Highness can't deceive the eyes of others. Ashin has been with you for so many years, what kind of person His Highness is, Ashin knows better than anyone else. After risking his life, His Highness came to doubt the authenticity of this map, and only asked Ashin to make some preliminary judgments in the early stage. All this is simply because Your Highness has to do more than anything else, and it touches your heart so much that it breaks through all your usual defenses. From the moment you lose the token, it means that Your Highness has been in a mess. Ashin said bluntly, without any hesitation.

As he spoke, his uncertain emotions rose to him, and he turned to the crown prince and continued: "Has Your Highness ever thought that because of this unguarded impulse, you will invite death? You are the crown prince of the Mocang Wind Country, if you have an accident because of an accident, what will happen to the entire East Palace? What will happen to my emperor? What about the whole desert? Have you ever thought about any of this? ”

"The map, this palace believes you, so you dare to use it. In this matter, the palace has its own measure. Ashin just do what this palace has arranged for you as always. In the face of Ashin's voice questioning, Mo Cang was as calm as ever.

In just a few words, Ashin had nothing to say, and the prince still believed him......

"Ashin begs His Highness to leave this matter to Ashin," Ashin knelt down again and pleaded, "Even if Ashin is with him, as long as he can ensure His Highness's safety!" ”

"This matter can only be done by the palace himself. What's more, the huge East Palace still needs you to guard it. Mo Cang vetoed categorically, lowered his eyes and planned to continue looking at the map, but seeing that Ashin still refused to give up, he happily propped his arms on the case, leaned forward, and looked down at him, "You can rest assured, the words you just said are in your heart, if you are still worried about the safety of the palace, then you will prepare more tokens for the palace next time, okay?" ”

"......" Ashin was speechless, he began to realize that the prince had already given him the steps again and again, and if he offended again, he would only live up to the prince's expectations of himself, so he simply retreated, but he knew that this matter had to be carefully watched.

Gradually, the entire East Palace began to fall silent in the night, and the layers of lights dimmed one by one, and finally only a few palace lights in the prince's bedroom were lit alone.

Although he hadn't had a good rest for a day and a night, somehow, his spirits were exceptionally good. Mo Cang took out the handkerchief given to him by the white bait before parting from his arms, and by the bright light, he could see that the handkerchief was full of dust. He suddenly remembered the scene of the group of soldiers under the prison gate of the prison where the white bait fooled the prisoners.

"The little slave is stupid, so he simply thought of two horses going hand in hand, just imagine that he could bring back more materials this time, and this is ......"

"When he saw that I was thin, he always secretly hid pork belly for me to eat on weekdays......"

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but arc. He has mediated with all kinds of demons and monsters in this deep palace and in the court for so many years, but he didn't expect that one day he would be able to fight side by side with a woman, and he was only in love with this woman

After a day and a night, he felt very familiar with her, and they seemed to have known each other a long, long time ago......

There are people here who can't keep their eyes on each other, but there are also people who can't sleep at night.

The night is as cool as water, and a lonely moon has already climbed into the sky. However, none of this has anything to do with this little secret room.

Outside the purple bamboo forest, the floating light is broken and the temple is closed.

"There is news from the palace that five days later, the dog thief of Emperor Mocang will hold a birthday banquet for the prince in Futu Palace." Li Sang Feijing's body suddenly turned around, and he looked solemnly towards Li Sang Fengyu and the general.

At this time, he still wore a black hooded cloak on his shoulders, and there was a little night dew on it, and the whole cloak was wet, and it was obvious that he had just returned from outside. This secret room is not very bright, and the darkness of the dark corner contrasts with this cloak, which makes people even more depressing.

After hearing the news, Li Sangfengyu was the first to speak. "Occupy my Li Sang's territory to hold the prince's birthday banquet? That dog thief of Mocang Emperor is simply too arrogant! Li Sang Fengyu took the case, and a pair of dry Danfeng eyes seemed to be burned by fire. However, he is not calm on the surface, but he has no score in his heart. As soon as these words came out, he sighed silently and sat down again.

In contrast, Jiang Li looked extremely calm, and waited for Li Sangfengyu to finish complaining before he spoke: "What is the Futu Palace?" ”

"The Futu Palace is the most luxurious palace in my Lisan, every nightfall, as soon as the organ moves, there will be a thousand faces of glaze, Vientiane Buddha light of the prosperous beauty, since the opening of the first emperor, many major feasts or ceremonies to receive foreign monarchs will be held there." Li Sang Feijing said, his heavy eyelids slowly pressed down, and his voice suddenly became sharp, "That's my Li Sang's pride!" ”

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, except for the gap in the corner of the secret room, and the water droplets still dripped calmly. No matter how urgent the world is, it never changes.

Li Sang Feijing opened his eyes for a long time, the corners of his mouth floated secretly, and he continued: "In the past few days, we have tried all kinds of ways to try to get in touch with the available people inside and outside the palace, although there are not many people who are willing to obey, but it can be regarded as a small achievement. News from the palace will come out regularly, and once there is a stir, we can be prepared in time. Right now, we have a great opportunity in front of us, and we can't afford to wait any longer! ”

"Brother Huang plans to do it at the prince's birthday banquet?" Li Sang Fengyu suddenly raised his doubtful eyes, trying to capture something from Li Sang Feijing's eyes, but the doubts couldn't be suppressed, and asked again: "Our plan ......"

"Our plans can't be put off any longer!" Li Sang Feijing flew out a sentence, and the raised rough voice instantly swallowed Li Sang Fengyu's words, "Mo Cang dog thieves are scheming, if we continue to sit still like this, it will only give him more respite, and when he occupies the entire Li Sang capital, even if we use all our strength, I am afraid we will not be able to return to the sky!" ”

"Five days. His Royal Highness wants to plot to assassinate Emperor Mocang within five days, has His Highness really figured it out? Jiang Li asked calmly with his hands on his chest, without a trace of doubt or surprise on his face.

Li Sang Feijing gently turned his gaze to Jiang Li, and did not respond quickly, obviously pushed into a state of hesitation by Jiang Li's indescribable look.

After a while, he caught a glimpse of the unfolded topographic map of the palace structure beside him, and then he rolled his eyebrows before he said: "We have the drawings in hand, it is not difficult for us to sneak into the palace, and the secret passage from the Futu Palace to the Julong City is also very familiar, with this map in hand, we can naturally advance and retreat freely." ”

"But......" Li Sangfengyu's lowered eyes raised again, but he was forced to hang down again by Li Sangfei's murderous look that flew out immediately, and his two cold hands were secretly entangled in his sleeves.

Li Sang Feijing focused sharply, and gently paced his floating steps in front of Li Sang Fengyu: "Isn't Yu'er always revengeful?" Why are you hesitating now? Doesn't Yu'er want revenge? ”
