Spring in Jiangnan has always been only gentle and drizzly, and even at night, there is still no cold. Under the cold moonlight, the unique fragrance of spring flowers and plants is diffused, and the sound of small pieces of ground comes with the breeze, as if the fresh buds of green grass are pulling joints.

On the stone road, two figures one after the other, the woman was Xiao Xinzi, the princess of Nanliang, she withdrew from the palace maid and walked towards the palace with the people behind her, even if the moonlight was dim, it was difficult to hide the nervous look on her face. The tall figure of the man behind her was hidden in the wide cloak, his face was handsome, his eyes as deep as stars were full of wind and frost, the moon shadow was swaying, and the light of the lights made his beautiful face even more blurry.

The imperial palace of Nanliang is also called "Taicheng" because Shangshutai is located in the palace city. Since the Jin Dynasty became the emperor, it was built on the basis of Sun Wuyuan City, and after more than 100 years of operation in the Song and Qi dynasties, it was already luxurious to the extreme when Xiao Yan became the owner.

Although Xiao Yan firmly believes in Buddhism, every time he sacrifices himself to the temple, he has to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to redeem it, but he is very diligent and thrifty for himself and his usual life. Therefore, there are not too many concubines, palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and at night in the entire Taicheng, except for more than a dozen palaces where concubines and princes live, plus the residences of some palace maids and eunuchs are lit up, the rest of the place is pitch black, and the place where Xiao Yan uses to detain prisoners happens to be in this darkness.

"Who? Imprisoned in the heavy land, if you get closer, Hugh blames the sword and has no eyes! When the guard saw someone approaching him, he immediately warned him, and it was too dark for him to tell who was coming, so he didn't dare to take action easily.

The figure was getting closer and closer, and when he saw the appearance of the person who came, the guard immediately knelt on the ground: "The last general doesn't know that the princess is here, if there is a collision, please ask the princess to forgive her sins!" ”

Xiao Xinzi waved her long sleeves lightly: "This princess came here late at night, and she came to interrogate the assassin who was captured by her father during the day, you don't need to be verbose, hurry up and lead the way!" ”

Princess Fuyang's temper, everyone in the palace knew that it was definitely not something he could handle. Immediately got up and ordered the rest of the soldiers to strengthen the guard, and then led the two straight into the prison, as for who the man followed by the princess, he didn't want to ask, and he didn't dare to ask.

There was a single person sitting in the damp prison, even if he was in prison, he still leaned against the wall like jade and closed his eyes to recuperate, and at the moment he heard the sound of people's feet, he opened his clear eyes vigilantly.

"Yu'er, it's me!"

Dugu saw the butterfly love in the prison as he wished, how could the light veil on his face prevent him from missing her deeply? Even if I didn't see her for a day, I was already very anxious, and seeing that she was safe and sound at this moment, my heart finally settled down.

Dugu turned to Xiao Xinzi as he wished: "I'm going to take her away, the princess can see nothing in front of her!" ”

Xiao Xinzi nodded: "Since I brought you here, naturally I won't embarrass you." After speaking, he turned his head and said fiercely to the guard: "Don't open the door yet?" ”

"This?" The guard hesitated: "If the emperor blames him, I'm afraid the last general can't afford it!" ”

When Xiao Xinzi heard this, his voice said angrily: "There is a princess who is blocking for you, what are you afraid of?" Father and Emperor have a lot of opportunities, where can I still think of these little things, I can't get around you no matter how nonsense I am. ”

The guard didn't dare to say anything more, opened the cell door and released Dielian, and the three of them immediately turned to leave, but stopped again as soon as they reached the door.

At this time, there were dozens of forbidden soldiers outside the door blocking the way, and a handsome man of twenty-six or seventeen years old stood in front of the sergeant, coldly watching Xiao Xinzi walk out of the door with Dugu Ruyi and Dielian.

"Seventh brother, is that you?" Xiao Xinzi revealed a trace of panic in his words, thinking that God's unwitting plan was actually knocked into the spot.

The man is the prince Xiao Yi who spoke for Butterfly Love during the day, since he returned from the sacrifice, he has been thinking about the veiled woman in his heart, and when Xiao Yan fell asleep, he immediately brought the guards over.

Seeing Xiao Xinzi release the person, he had some doubts in his heart, but he still remained silent and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" Staying in the dormitory late at night, running to the prison to release people? ”

Xiao Xinzi looked flustered, not knowing how to answer, but Dugu Ruyi on the side couldn't allow her to hesitate at all, protected Dielian behind her, and waved the long sword in her hand towards Xiao Yi.

As a prince, Xiao Yi is naturally also a dragon and phoenix among people, loves reading and literature, and has a large number of academic works, but he is not very fond of martial arts, so he has no way to avoid the sword of Dugu as he wishes.

Dugu Ruyi had already seen this, and after the long sword paused in the air for half a second, he turned his hand and put it on his neck: "I remember you, the original Jingzhou Thorn History, Xiangdong County King Xiao Yi!" ”

Dugu seemed to think of something, and there was a hint of banter on his face: "You can't beat me on the battlefield, so let us go!" With that, he threw away the sword in his hand, turned around and took Butterfly Love's hand, and prepared to leave.

"Wait! Don't let any of you go! Come on, take these two down for me! ”

"No!"

Xiao Yi gave an order, and the forbidden army agreed in unison, and they all waved their knives to kill Dugu as he wished.

Dugu flew on the horse with Butterfly Love as he wished, and he never wanted to hurt anyone, after all, this is the place of Liang Guo, he just lives here, just to save Butterfly Love.

Seeing that the figures of the two were getting farther and farther away, Xiao Yi no longer paid attention to the rules of not riding horses in the palace, snatched the reins from the hands of the guards beside him, and rode on the back of a horse to chase Dugu as he wished.

"Your Highness, poor Kou Mo chase!"

The forbidden army all shouted, Dugu had excellent martial arts as he wished, even if Xiao Yi caught up, it would be difficult to do anything, if there was really a mistake, they would all have to fall to the ground.

"Don't come along, I have my own opinions!"

Xiao Yi turned around and shouted to stop everyone from chasing, and then kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and the healthy horse neighed like a long neigh, galloping up like the wind, and after a while, he chased behind Dugu Ruyi.

Dugu turned around and looked at Xiao Yi coldly: "Alone, chasing after you, don't you want to die?" ”

Xiao Yi glanced at the butterfly love behind Dugu Ruyi, and raised his voice and said: "It was this king who was rude before, please don't blame me for General Dugu, this palace is heavily guarded, and there was Wang Mei who led you in before, and now you are alone, with her...... How do you get out of the palace? ”

"Hundreds of forbidden troops, I don't care about them yet, please go back!" Dugu Ruyi did not want to have any entanglement with Xiao Yi, let alone accept his favor.

Xiao Yi saw that his words were cold, and there was a little more displeasure in his eyes, and he said straight to the point: "Actually, this king will come at a gallop if he has something to ask, if it is convenient for General Dugu, please do not hesitate to answer." ”

Dugu slowly slowed down as he wished, letting Xiao Yi chase after him, Xiao Yi subconsciously looked around, and said in a low voice: "In the past, in Jingzhou, General Dugu instigated the three thousand Manichaeans in the city to cooperate with you to take Jiangling City. The king is curious, why do those stubborn Manichaeans obey you? ”

Die Lian's body trembled when she heard this, she knew the events of the day best, thinking that the holy woman had died in Jingzhou, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and looked at Xiao Yi: "Why are you asking this?" Now that Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Hou Jing, why do you still ask about the past? ”

Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "The Ming people don't say secret words, this king has arrested a few Manichaeans and tortured them afterwards, and I learned from them that General Dugu used the jade seal of the country to trade with the Manichaean saint in exchange for their help, I don't know if there is really such a thing?" ”

Dugu stopped the horse as he wished, and glanced at Xiao Yi meaningfully: "This is indeed the case!" ”

Xiao Yi looked annoyed, and sighed: "The jade seal of the country has been missing for a long time, but I don't want to be found by the general, just for a Jiangling city, you handed her over to the holy woman, if I had learned the news earlier, I Nanliang would be willing to exchange five cities for the jade seal, it's a pity!" I don't know if the general knows the final ownership of the jade seal? ”

Dugu retracted his gaze as he wished, held Dielian's hand tightly with his left hand, and his voice was calm: "I didn't care about the world, and I never felt how important the jade seal was." If you want to know the ownership of this jade seal, you shouldn't have come to ask me, the saint and Gao Huan are allies, and this heirloom jade seal is naturally in Gao Huan's hands. ”

Xiao Yi was extremely disappointed when he heard this, and there was a touch of helplessness in his eyes: "Thank you for telling the general, there is already a palace gate ahead, so it is better to let this king send the two out of the palace!" Saying that, he glanced at Dielian again: "This king still wants to know, what is the relationship between this girl and General Dugu?" ”

Dugu laughed as he wished, and looked directly at Xiao Yi with cold eyes: "She and I will never abandon the relationship for the rest of my life!" After speaking, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Xiao Yi waved to the guards, no one dared to obstruct him anymore, Dugu took Butterfly Love out of the palace as he wished, and then disappeared into the inky night.
