Chapter 20: Wicked Boy
From Wang Gongchang back to the palace, it was already the time to hold the lamp, after dinner, King Xin took a short rest, slowly came to the courtyard, and heard the sound of 'plopping' inside from afar!
"Listen to me, if you want to steal and play tricks, if you are a bad seed, hurry up and get out of the palace of the king of letters, you will be embarrassed here! If you want to become a human being, if you want to be a hero, give me the strength to practice, practice to death, he will become famous, prosperous and rich, and glorify his ancestors! Did you hear that? Li Ruoqi shouted, holding a whip in her hand, and kept worrying.
"Yes!" A group of Praetorian Guard boys 'Whoa' β
King Shin smiled and shook his head, stepped forward and pushed the door into the courtyard!
Li Ruoqi was frightened when he saw King Xin's sudden visit, and hurriedly came over to salute, and the Praetorian Guards also panicked and knelt on one knee to salute.
"Get up! I just came to take a look, and seeing you so motivated, this king is very satisfied! King Shin paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and continued:
"Today, this king is here to test you, and I will give you a lesson, 50 of you are hiding in all corners of the palace, and the other 50 people must find out all of them within a quarter of an hour, and overtime will be regarded as unqualified, and 1000 push-ups, 1000 squats, 1000 sit-ups, and vice versa!" Shin looked at everyone, "Do you understand?" β
"Yes!" Everyone should be together!
"Okay, let's start marshalling ourselves!" King Xin found a chair and sat down, cocked Erlang's legs, and watched coldly, Li Ruoqi hurriedly ordered everyone to form a group and act separately.
For a while, the chickens and dogs of the Xinwang Mansion jumped, and a quarter of an hour later, the group responsible for hiding was found 49, and the group responsible for hiding stood aside dejectedly.
"The training session is over, who is the last person, you can come out!" Li Ruoqi shouted.
Before Li Ruoqi's words fell, he heard Chunlan Xiahe's questioning in the distance!
"Little monkey cub! Fat guts, aren't you? If you dare to break into the prince's courtyard, who instructed you, tell me? Chunlan's hysterical interrogation was heard.
β’β’β’β’β’β’
King Xin looked at Li Ruoqi after hearing this!
Li Ruoqi's neck shrank, and his eyes immediately glared at the hiding group, and shouted, "Where is the little monkey cub?" β
Hiding a group of people looked everywhere, and then shook their heads!
"Fuck! Little monkey cub, I have to peel your skin! Li Ruoqi scolded and ran towards the door!
Leaning slightly, Li Ruoqi came back in a huff, carrying a thin and withered black-clothed young man in his hand, and with a 'poof', Li Ruoqi threw the young man in his hand to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Little monkey cub, which one let you hide in the prince's yard?" β
The young man stood up from the ground silently, and just clubbed like that without saying a word, his eyes were cold and resolute!
Seeing this, King Xin waved his hand to Li Ruoqi and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Back to the prince! Just now, the little monkey cub hid in your yard, and was discovered by Chunlan Xiahe on duty and captured on the spot! Li Ruoqi said angrily.
"Lord Qiqi! The subordinates came out on their own after hearing Commander Li shouting 'The lesson is over', not captured! The young man straightened his thin and withered body, and there was no wave in his eyes, and he found it carefully, his eyes were cold and without a trace of emotion.
"Don't you know that the prince's residence is a forbidden place?" Li Ruoqi was angry.
"Back to the Commander! The prince said before that it was 'hiding the palace', but he didn't specifically mean that it could not be hidden! The boy still straightened up, like a javelin.
"You..." Li Ruoqi blushed with anger and had a thick neck, as it was, he was speechless.
Seeing this, King Xin looked at the young man, and saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes were resolute and cold-blooded, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose in his heart, so he asked, "What is your name?" Who's the people? β
"Back to the prince! The subordinates have no father and mother, and they don't know their hometown! β
"Oh!" King Xin was puzzled and asked again, "When did you enter the palace?" β
"Back to the prince! When his subordinates were ten years old, on the winter night of the year when the prince was canonized as the king, he picked up his subordinates in the snow and returned to the palace! A hint of warmth flashed in the boy's eyes.
King Shin stared, looked at the young man for a long time, and muttered to himself, "So it's you?" It's so big in a flash, no wonder it's so familiar! β
Although the voice was small, the boy heard it clearly, and with a 'poof', the boy knelt on the ground and bowed, his eyes flushed, as if there were tears.
"Lord Wang, this little monkey cub is evil, he disappears at night, and then, in the early morning, he appears unknowingly!" Seeing that King Xin was silent, Li Ruoqi hurriedly whispered.
On the way back to the house, Wang Guoxing, the commander of the guards, found the little beggar curled up in the snow, his body was frozen, and his life was hanging by a thread, so he reported to the king of letters, he was kind-hearted, and asked Wang Guoxing to carry the little beggar to the carriage, and the king took off his cloak to cover the little beggar and brought it back to the palace for treatment.
King Xin was young, and the emperor was not worried about this younger brother, so he let him live in the palace most of the time, so he had long forgotten about this matter, and if he hadn't found out today, it would have been difficult for King Xin to remember the little beggar.
Looking at the young man kneeling on the ground, King Xin didn't pay attention to Li Ruoqi, got up and walked out with his hands in his hands, "Come with me!" β
The young man got up, his gaze cold again, and followed closely behind King Shinβ’β’β’β’β’β’
Li Ruoqi was stunned on the spot, I don't know what to say?
The Praetorian Guards looked at the back of the young man, exchanged their heads and whispered!
"What are the pestles doing here? Hide Group 1000 push-ups, get ready! Li Ruoqi shouted, her eyes always looking in the direction where the young man at the gate disappearedβ’β’β’β’β’β’
The bright moonlight reflected in the courtyard, King Xin put his hands behind his back, stared at the black-clothed young man in front of him for a long time, and asked kindly: "For so many years, you have been hiding and guarding here every night, rain or shine, without interruption; Recently, your hidden aura has been undetectable, and if you are not already familiar with your aura, it is difficult to find your location, I am curious, where were you in the first half of the night? β
When the young man heard this, he was also shocked! He was very confident in his ability to return to concealment, thought for a long time, and bowed down and replied, "The prince believes me? β
"It's not disbelief, it's curiosity!"
The young man was silent, leaned slightly, as if he had made up his mind, suddenly raised his head, and asked, "Lord Wang, do you really want to know?" β
King Xin's eyes are unwavering, looking at the boy!
The young man turned around suddenly, his legs bent slightly, and suddenly rushed forward, like a tanuki, he climbed over the high wall like lightning, turned around and glanced at King Xin, and then, his figure disappeared in a flash!
A slight smile appeared at the corner of King Xin's mouth, his toes touched the ground, and with the help of the momentum, his body jumped up the wall, jumped out of the courtyard, and as soon as his feet landed, he chased after the black shadow ten meters away!
The young man pulled his legs and ran, looking back from time to time, seeing that King Xin was following, his feet exerted force again, and the speed increased again, on the street, two figures one after the other, the wind and thunder and lightning shot like lightning, and ran in the direction of Dongcheng!
About half an hour later, the two of them went out of the downtown area one after the other, and entered a small road in the wilderness of the suburbs, with the help of the moonlight, after about two miles, the young man's figure was submerged in a poplar forest, and King Shin did not hesitate, followed into the woods, and passed through the end of the poplar forest, and a dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of him.
The young man stopped at the gate of the courtyard, stopped and turned around, his face did not change color, his heart did not beat, his breathing was even, he faced King Xin, who stopped five meters away, and knelt down on one knee and said: "Please don't blame the prince!" β
King Xin stood with his hands in his hands, his face was as usual, his breath was calm, and he smiled: "You are not small? β
"Lord forgive your sins! The subordinates must understand the details of the prince's strength, otherwise, it will be difficult to feel at ease! β
"Hmmm! Got it? β
"The prince has deep internal strength, and his subordinates are ashamed!" The young man looked up at King Xin, and said with a resolute gaze: "My subordinates are willing to be the shadow of the prince and protect the prince at all times!" β
King Shin is silent! Yes, the young man wants nothing more than to test his strength so that he can know where the limit of protection is!
"Get up! This king is not to blame! β
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The boy stood up.
"You don't want to go out for a walk alone, do you?" Shin Wang smiled.
The young man was silent, and then walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Boom! Boom! Triple tap the knocker; Leaning slightly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps inside, 'Squeak! A crack opened in the door, and a girl's pink little face popped out of it, and a pair of big black eyes looked out.
"Boss!" hurriedly opened the door, and complained: "You haven't come back for several days, and the little three, four, and five old people talk about it every day!" Suddenly seeing King Shin not far behind the young man, the girl's face suddenly tightened, and she stopped making a sound.
There was a rare warmth on the young man's face, and he said, "Well, I've been busy these days, let them all come out, I have something!" β
"Hmm!" The girl answered softly, turned around and returned again.
The young man turned around and stood by the door, raised his hand to invite King Xin in, King Xin was naturally curious in his heart, why did the young man bring him here, with questions, he walked into the door, the young man closed the door casually, and followed behind King Xin.
King Shin glanced at the dilapidated courtyard, there were only three dilapidated houses in one courtyard, the windows were all sealed with broken wooden boards, and on the west side was a low kitchen, and the whole courtyard was simple and orderly.
At this moment, four figures ran out of the middle hall, and in front of them was the girl who had just opened the door, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, pigtails, and patches on her green clothes, but they were very clean and tidy.
He was followed by three little boys, all thirteen or fourteen years old, all of them thin and small, wearing shabby patched clothes, but all of them were in good spirits, but when they found King Xin, their eyes were as cold as teenagers, and their eyes showed a fierce light, staring at King Xin, and they were on guard; When he saw the young man behind King Xin, he showed a warm smile.
