Tap, tap, ......

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves circled around the crossroads, but never moved a single bit—Sun Shaozong had been wandering for some time two streets away from the Yizhong Palace.

Strange to say, although it was the first time he came back to this area, he couldn't help but feel a little timid.

Excited, apprehensive, mixed with some angry contempt, lamented pity for his misfortune.

The eldest son of the emperor who crossed into the Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to have sat on the Jinluan Hall with half of his buttocks, but in the end, he was stunned to the fact that he was imprisoned and the woman was occupied.

Now it's even worse, even the only illegitimate child was killed by his own dead soldiers, and the relics were given as birthday gifts.

Alas~

There is a risk in crossing, and you need to be cautious in pretending to be forced!

Sun Shaozong shook his head speechlessly, and made up his mind to turn the horse's head around and walk towards the palace of King Yizhong - no matter how much he delayed, this holy decree could never be violated, unless he wanted to go to Prince Yizhong as his companion.

But he said that he saw the next crossroads, looking at the majestic mansion from a distance, Sun Shaozong's heart was a little less apprehensive, but his excitement was doubled.

Anyway, this is also the first time that the two travelers have come face to face in the world of Red Mansions, and it is likely to be the only one!

If it is said to be a historic meeting, it should not be considered a commercial blow, right?

In a trance, Sun Shaozong seemed to hear the rolling wheels of history, rolling forward in a twist and turn.

Belch~

It is true that there are wheels rolling, but it is not carrying history, but a cart of dung.

Rushed by the stimulating smell, Sun Shaozong suddenly sobered up a little, and hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet arrived in the center of the crossroads, and rushed into the street where the Yizhong Palace's mansion was located.

"What people!"

"Stop!"

Just after rushing a few steps away, in the lanes on both sides, two teams of men and horses suddenly poured out, twelve swords and guns in front of them, and twelve four-edged short crossbows in the back.

Look at this costume, it should be the tiger camp under the command of Taiwei Qiu.

"Sun Shaozong of Shuntianfu sent a holy edict to give a birthday gift to Prince Yizhong."

Sun Shaozong raised his identity and revealed his identity, and at the same time turned over and dismounted, spreading his hands and feet in large letters, looking like he was ready to be checked.

Hearing the word 'Sun Shaozong', the two teams of soldiers on the opposite side were obviously relieved, but they still maintained the battle formation, and only the two leading generals stepped forward to be responsible for the search.

After carefully confirming that Sun Shaozong was not carrying a murder weapon, the two generals respectfully interrogated: "Dare to ask Lord Sun, what evidence did you bring?" ”

"Well, the token is here."

Only then did Sun Shaozong take out a golden arrow from his sleeve and show it to the two generals, which was specially sent by Dai Quan before he left the palace.

He didn't take the initiative to show it just now, nor did he deliberately want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but according to Dai Quan's instructions, this golden arrow must wait until someone asks about it before it can be shown as a token.

If you don't know what's going on, take the initiative to show this golden arrow, not only can it not play the role of a token, but it will be regarded as a thief counterfeiting, and it will be directly shot into a hedgehog and pulled down.

The two took turns to inspect the general, and returned their hands respectfully, and then they gave a whistle, and each led the soldiers back into the alleys on both sides.

Sun Shaozong knew that there must be more than one sentry on this street, so he did not remount his horse, but only strode forward with the reins.

Sure enough, after that, I passed through two secret whistles in succession, and I checked three times like a massage, and finally arrived in front of the gate of Nafu.

explained his intention to the soldiers guarding the door, and soon a thousand households came out and directly introduced Sun Shaozong into the palace.

However, this is not so much a palace, but a large barracks, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, all of which are officers and soldiers wearing helmets and armor, and the small servants and maids that should have been in the palace have not been seen.

All the way through the house, before the fourth courtyard, I saw three people standing in front of the moon gate, in the center was a brocade-robed eunuch, and on the left and right were two dragon guards and hundreds of households.

Seeing that Sun Shaozong was approaching, the dragon guard on the right side of the hundred households hurriedly took a few steps and knelt down on one knee and said: "Mark Liu Yihu, I have seen a thousand households." ”

Although the brocade-robed eunuch did not greet him, he also greeted him with a smile.

On the contrary, it was the hundred households on the left, who just arched his hand loosely, and urged with a calm face: "Since the emperor's order is in the body, let's take a priori to see the arrow." ”

Needless to say, this guy must be from the Nanzhen Mansion!

This is the insurance added by the Emperor Taishang to Prince Yizhong, so as not to let the eldest son of the emperor be confused and fall into the ghost.

Of course, with Emperor Guangde's jealousy of Prince Yizhong, no one knows that once Emperor Taishang is in the sky, Prince Yizhong will definitely be buried with him, but at least when the old man is still alive, he will never want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person.

After an unprecedentedly meticulous search, even turning over and over his socks several times, Sun Shaozong was finally able to enter the inner courtyard.

Although there are fewer guards in this inner courtyard, there are still no small maids.

That Liu Yihu was a discerning person, and he probably saw Sun Shaozong's doubts, so he explained in a whisper next to him: "I heard that after the hot air balloon flew out of Nalaoshzi last year, the heads of people killed in this courtyard were rolling, and the lowly post was transferred after that." ”

Tut~

It is estimated that the guards at that time were also among the crowds.

The four of them stopped and stopped all the way [to deal with the dark whistle], and finally arrived at a small courtyard in Yajing, where the leading brocade-robed eunuch summoned a group of five secret whistles to confirm that Prince Yizhong was in the house, and then sorted out his clothes and prepared to come forward and knock on the door.

However, just as he was about to knock, the door suddenly creaked open from the inside.

Immediately, I saw an old man with white hair and beard walking out of it.

"Xiaguan [slave] has seen the prince."

Liu Yihu and the three of them hurriedly bowed and saluted.

And Sun Shaozong looked at his ugly appearance of hunched over, but he was stunned on the spot for a while.

This is Prince Yizhong?!

This is the traverser predecessor who loves to pretend to be forced?!

The image that I sketched in my mind before has collapsed completely?!

But if you think about it, this may be because of more than two years of confinement, which has given him too much pressure.

After all, not everyone can look down on life and death.

Just as he was sighing, he saw Prince Yizhong leaning down the steps, but he came straight to himself.

Sun Shaozong reacted at this time, and was about to bow down to salute, but as soon as his waist was bent down, a crumpled hand was already spread out in front of him.

"Bring it."

The dry and hoarse voice, as if the hoarse voice that had just roared was exhausted, really complemented the image.

But......

What does he mean by 'take it'?

Could it be that when Prince Yizhong was about to celebrate his birthday before, Emperor Guangde would also send someone to send gifts, so as soon as he saw himself, he guessed his intention.

Sun Shaozong was arranging the right reason in his heart, and Prince Yizhong gave him another slap on the head, urging: "Hurry up, it's just a psychic jade, what is the same as this king's ink." ”

His words were impatient on the surface, but they contained pleasure and pride inside.

However, Sun Shaozong couldn't distinguish these details at all, because he was completely stunned by this sentence!

How could Prince Yizhong know that he was here to deliver the Tongling Jade?

Could it be that someone in the palace leaked secrets?

Wrong!

At that time, apart from himself, the emperor was only there with Dai Quan - Dai Quan couldn't be Prince Yizhong's person, right?!

Besides, just look at the appearance of this dense sentry, if there is no arrow from Emperor Guangde, who can rush in front of him to pass the news in?

Did you use carrier pigeons?

Not to mention that those hunting bows are not vegetarians, this blue sky and white day, if there are really carrier pigeons near Prince Yizhong, I am afraid that they will be discovered by others!

It doesn't make sense!

It doesn't make any sense!

Sun Shaozong looked at Prince Yizhong in a daze, and Fang Cai's contempt and pity all turned into surprise.

At the same time, he was a little unbelievable, if he really had such an unfathomable intelligence ability, how did this traverser senior in front of him be overturned by Emperor Guangde?

It wasn't until Prince Yizhong urged a few more times that Sun Shaozong sleepwalked like he took out the Tongling Jade from his purse.

Prince Yizhong took it in his hand unhurriedly, looked at it a few times, and suddenly threw it back to Sun Shaozong, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that my brother will be disappointed, Zhou Xi is not my son, and I can't have any heirs in my life." ”

I'll go!

Even Zhou Xi's death, and even some people speculated that Zhou Xi was his illegitimate son, he already knew about it!

And......

What does this categorical conviction mean that he will inevitably lose his children and grandchildren in this life?

That's too sure, right?

And there was a clear smugness in his tone - is it still a good thing to cut off children and grandchildren?

Sun Shaozong's doubts had not yet been solved, and Prince Yizhong said in a hoarse voice: "It's really embarrassing for him, when he was a child, he coaxed him to play, and casually talked about a few trivial things in the dream of Red Mansions, and I still remember it so clearly after decades." ”

"I knew that I shouldn't have given this jade to Zhou Xi, although he is not my son, but his mother has had an incense relationship with me...... Alas~! ”

As he spoke, he sighed heavily, then flicked the sleeves of his robe again, and said lightly: "Let's go, this dream of red mansions is going to wake up after all, what does life and death in the world have to do with me?" ”

"You go back and tell my brother that I am leaving, and if he still has a trace of brotherhood in his heart, he may as well come with his father and send me off—I will wait until my sixtieth birthday at most."

Before the words fell, and without waiting for Sun Shaozong to respond, he put his hands behind his back, staggered but a little comfortable, and walked out along the stone road.

As he walked, he sang in a dumb voice: "Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, but they can't forget their fame!" Where will the past and the present meet? The barren mound is gone, and the grass is gone. Everyone in the world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't forget! In the end, he only hated to gather much, and when he reached a long time, his eyes were closed. Everyone in the world is good to be immortal, only the wife ......"

This is......

Ready to kill yourself?!

But it looks like that, and it really doesn't look like a person is about to die.

If you really want to die, how can you show that kind of snickering joy and smug expression just now?

It's a bit like you're ready to travel back in time!

Sun Shaozong watched the figure of Prince Yizhong gradually drift away, and the singing voice gradually became inaudible, but the restlessness in his heart was not reduced, but it was very noisy.

Although he may not be willing to travel back at the moment, if Prince Yizhong really finds a way to travel back, he will never want to miss it!

And then there's ......

Where did Prince Yizhong learn that he was ordered to deliver the Tongling Treasure Jade?

This huge mystery must be solved in a way, otherwise how should he face Emperor Guangde when he goes back to make a mission?!

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong didn't hesitate anymore, stepped up the steps, and directly broke into Prince Yizhong's study!
