The forests of Taylordo are full of beech trees that they have never seen before. These beech trees also need more than 20 people to surround the thin ones, and the thickest beech trees even need thirty or forty people to hug them. The branches of these beech trees are not too high above the ground. The branches were flattened, and the width seemed to fit just enough for a small tent. There are not many beech leaves, but each leaf is very large, about a foot in diameter. The leaves are heart-shaped, with pale green veins and dark green leaves. These leaves grow sparsely and staggered.

There are strange and colorful plants growing all over the ground. The strange shapes and brilliant colors of these plants are all unseen and unimaginable to the Jia.

"These plants and trees in the Taylordo Forest are even more beautiful than the rare flowers in the Forestry. If you send it to the Forestry, it can be regarded as a first-class treasure. Xiao Jia looked around and exclaimed.

"Your Highness, the ground in the Holy Capital is too cold to grow these plants and trees. In the past few days, let's hunt in the Tairodo Forest first, and Your Highness will take a look first. These are actually nothing, after the summer solstice, I will accompany His Royal Highness to the Canaan Snow Mountain to see, from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the grass and trees have changed greatly, and it is an eye-opener there. ”

"Very good. I was going to visit the Holy See. I have long heard of the holiness and refinement of the Holy See, and I have always been fascinated. ”

"After the summer solstice. There's no hurry. ”

"Okay."

It was already noon, and the Rongzhu family and the old hunter simply hunted some prey around, burned the fire to make food, and the simple and the group began to have lunch.

Rong Tanu took Xiao Ze's hand and said, "Shizi, Tanu will take you to see a big friend." ”

"What are you going to see, Tanu?"

"You'll know when you go."

At the back of the Rongzhu team, there was a big box-like thing covered with cloth, and Rongtanu took Xiao Ze's hand and led the household servant Rong Er to the big box.

Rong Tanu said, "Rong Er, you open it." ”

"Yes, Third Prince."

Rong Er stepped forward and tore open the big cloth with a force.

It was an iron cage with a small leopard with white gold spots standing in the cage.

"Look, it's my big cat." Rontanu pointed to the little leopard and said.

"Wow, Tanu, it's beautiful."

"Open it, Rongji." Rontanu said.

Rong Er agreed and opened the cage.

The big cat suddenly sprang out and pounced on Rongtanu's side, put its front paws on Rongtanu's shoulder, rubbed Rongtanu's face with his tongue, and made a "boom" and "boom" cry from his mouth.

Rong Tanu stroked the big cat's head with his hand and said, "Big cat, I wronged you and let you stay in the cage for a long time." But you must not be seen by the people of the city, lest they be afraid. ”

Xiao Ze stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the big cat's head.

The big cat suddenly turned its head and opened its mouth at Xiao Ze, revealing the sharp teeth that had been growing for several months, and roared fiercely. The big cat bowed to the ground and made an attack on Yu Ze.

Xiao Ze stepped back and sat on the ground in fright, and cried out in a wow.

Rontanu shouted, "Big cat, sit down." ”

The big cat, whose eyes were wide with anger, immediately turned his face, looked at Rong Tanu with an aggrieved expression, retreated behind Tanu step by step, and sat down obediently.

Rong Er and Rong Tanu helped him up, and Danu said, "Little Shizi, the big cat is a Canaan snow leopard, not an ordinary leopard and a beast. It listens to no one, and no one touches it. You'll have to be careful in the future. ”

Xiao Ze sobbed and said, "Then, why does it listen to you?" You're a year younger than me. He's not as tall as I am. ”

Rong Tanu hugged Xiao Ze and said, "Little Shizi, the big cat was rescued by me in this Tairodo Forest, and I also fed it with antelope milk, of course it listens to me." ”

Xiao Ze wiped away his tears and said, "Danu, I want a big cat like this too." How about you help me find another one? ”

Rontanu's eyes purred, and he said, "Okay." Then you're going to have to look for it with me in the Taylordo Forest. I'm not sure if we'll ever find a big cat like this. ”

Xiao Ze happily hugged Rong Tanu and said, "Thank you, Tanu." As long as you promise to help me find it. ”

Rong Tanu touched Xiao Ze with his head, then took Xiao Ze's hand, walked to the big cat, looked at the big cat's eyes, pointed at Xiao Ze with his finger, and said to the big cat: "Big cat, this is my friend, you are not allowed to bully him in the future, you know?" ”

The big cat nodded vigorously as if he understood Rongtanu's words, then stood up and walked towards Yuze. Xiao Ze was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Rong Tanu, and hugged Rong Tanu tightly with both hands.

Rong Tanu said, "It's okay, you can rest assured." Big cats won't bully you anymore. Then he turned to the big cat and said, "Big cat, do you want to come up and kiss the little prince's face?" ”

The big cat nodded again.

Rong Tanu said to Xiao Ze, "Look. The big cat just wants to kiss you, and after it kisses you, it won't bully you anymore. You'll be the big cat's friend. ”

Xiao Ze stood there in disbelief.

Rong Tanu said to the big cat again: "Xiao Shizi is still a little afraid of you, don't kiss his face, kiss his hand." ”

The big cat nodded, walked up slowly, stretched out his tongue and kissed Xiao Ze's hand.

Xiao Ze's face showed an excited look, and he shouted loudly: "The big cat kissed me, the big cat kissed me." The big cat thinks of me as his friend. ”

Rontanu raised his little hand like a little adult and said, "But you still can't touch it, the big cat won't let anyone else touch it." If you touch it, it will get angry and bite you. ”

"Can you get it to let me touch it, then?"

"No, I can't. I can't either. I kept trying to get it to allow my sister to touch it, but it never agreed. Be careful yourself. ”

Xiao Jia was a little disappointed, and muttered: "It's really boring, I still want to have a big cat of my own, a bigger, more beautiful big cat." ”

At this time, Rongtanu came over, touched the big cat's head with his hand, and said, "Big cat, come here, I will feed you." ”

A family member brought five large pots of freshly squeezed antelope milk.

Rontanu pointed to the antelope milk and said to the big cat, "Come, big cat, eat quickly." The big cat pounced on the big pot of antelope milk, buried its head in the big basin, and licked it.

Xiao Ze smiled and said, "Big cat, why are you still breastfeeding." Isn't it supposed to eat other beasts? ”

"The big cat hasn't grown up yet. It's only been two or three months. Rontanu said as he stroked the big cat's tail with his hand.

"Humph! Then I'm going to find a big cat that's bigger and more ferocious than your big cat. ”

"Okay. Then my big cat has company. ”

"If I have a big cat, let it beat your big cat."

"Why? Why can't they be friends? ”

"My big cat has to be better than yours."

"Oh well. The more powerful you are, the more powerful you are. I also hope we can find you a big cat. ”

The big cat ate five large pots of antelope milk in an instant, then raised his head and looked at Rongdanu with blank eyes. Rong Tanu said to Rong Er: "Rong Er, the big cat is not full, give it a few more pots of antelope milk." ”

Rong Er said embarrassedly: "Third son, the few antelopes brought have already been milked, and there will be no milk before evening." ”

Rongtanu squatted down, put his head on the big cat's head, and said, "Big cat, I'm sorry, Tanu didn't bring you enough antelopes." You don't have any milk to eat right now. You are wronged and aggrieved, you will be hungry, shall we feed again at night? ”

The big cat nodded, stuck out its tongue and licked Tanu's cheek.

When Rong Tanu and Rong Ze returned with the big cat, Xiao Jia and Rong Zhu had already started eating.

Rong Zhu saw the big cat coming, and hurriedly said, "Danu, you tell the big cat not to hurt His Highness." ”

Rontanu said, "Yes, Aon. Then he turned to the big cat and said, "Big cat, this is His Royal Highness the King of Canaan, don't hurt him." You know? The big cat nodded, walked around the crops, and then returned to Rongtanu's side.

Xiao Jia said, "This leopard is really beautiful. I've never heard of such a leopard with gold spots on a white background before. ”

Rongzhu said, "Your Highness, this is the Canaanite snow leopard. According to Pope Xuanyang, this is a kind of Rui beast, and the mounts of the first five generations of the White Sect Pope were all Canaanite snow leopards, which later became extinct. A few days after the sting, I went hunting in the Taylordo forest and hunted a Canaanite snow leopard, and Tanu picked up this little Canaanite snow leopard, and Tanu liked it and kept it. It is also strange to say that this little Canaanite snow leopard only listens to the words of the Danu, only eats the milk fed by the Tanu, and is inseparable from the Danu, and no one else can touch it. We all call it Big Cat. ”

Xiao Jia looked at the big cat and Rong Tanu and said, "That is really an adventure. Big cats are spirit animals. It can be seen that Danu must be a child with aura and blessing. ”

"Father, Lord Gunjo, I want a big cat too." Xiao Ze pouted and said.

Xiao Jia and Rongzhu looked at each other for a moment and laughed.

Xiao Jia said: "Ze'er, this is a spirit beast, how can you want it?" ”

Rong Zhu said: "Your Highness, little prince, don't worry. In the Taylordo Forest, there are many magical and supernatural things. We've been hunting here these days, and I'm sure I'll find something more fun. Anu, you and Xiao Shizi should come over and have something to eat. After eating, we started to hunt in the woods. ”

Xiao Ze smiled happily, took Rong Danu's hand and ate with a smile. The big cat rests its head on Rontanu's lap and sleeps with its eyes closed. After eating, Xiaojia, Rongzhu and everyone rested for a while, continued to walk into the forest, and officially started hunting.

The forests of Taylordo are vast. It stretches along the coastline of Canaan. Terodo is located in the middle of Canaan, on the north side of the Taylordo Forest. Crossing the Taylordo Forest from Taylordo will take even the most experienced hunters a dozen days. The further you go into the middle of the forest, the more exotic beasts there are, but the more dangerous they are.

The purpose of this trip is not to really hunt, but to talk in secret, so the so-called hunting is just a taste. Even so, the harvest of half a day is already very rich. A team of men and horses, without much effort, hunted ten bears, twenty-two wild boars, thirty-two deer, and countless hares and pheasants.

The most pleasing is Xiao Ze. In order to be able to find another big cat, he followed the old hunters everywhere, but nowhere could he find it. But unexpectedly, the old hunter hunted a Canaanite elk in the forest and gave it to Xiao Ze.

But at first, he didn't like the Canaanite elk, saying, "It's really not fun to have such a big elk." I still want big cats. ”

The old hunter said, "Little Shizi doesn't know anything. This Canaanite elk is also a rare beast. It's not something that everyone can see or get. ”

Another old hunter came up and said, "Look, little son. This Canaanite elk is tall, much larger than the average elk. This Canaanite elk walks tirelessly, whether it is mountains, plateaus, deserts, or swamps, it is like walking on the ground, and it runs extremely fast, the pace is extremely steady, and it can continue to sleep, eat or drink, and its physical speed is not affected. Little son, do you know how long this Canaanite elk will live?

"Well, fifty years?"

"Not true. Xiao Shizi guess again? ”

"A hundred years?"

"Not really. Little son, this Canaanite elk has a very long lifespan, can live for 500 years without aging, and the older it is, the better its temperament. The color of this Canaanite elk changes four times in its lifetime, gray before the age of twenty-five, and adult at the age of twenty-five. Between the ages of 25 and 100, the color gradually darkens until it becomes pure black; Between 100 and 200 years old, it gradually turns from pure black to deep purple. At the age of two hundred, he entered the "age of the gods", and his whole body suddenly turned snow-white. The mount of our supreme pope, the white divine deer, is the Canaanite elk that has entered the 'divine age' after the age of two hundred. At the age of 400, the color changed to pink until he died. The most commendable thing is that this Canaanite elk is very easy to tame, as long as you ride it and catch the antlers, you will tame it. But at the same time, the great Canaanite elk was loyal to its master, and it only recognized the first person to ride it as its master in its life. Once you have the first owner, no one else can touch it. ”

He became interested in the Canaan elk, and after glancing at the big cat, he said, "Then is this Canaan elk rare?" ”

An old hunter said, "The great Canaanite elk is a very rare beast in the forests of Tayrodo. We, Canaanite, every time we capture the Canaanite elk, we are reluctant to ride it, but as a rare beast, we pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor in the Holy Capital or to the Supreme Pope on the top of the Canaanite Snow Mountain. Little son, you see, if you don't want this Canaanite elk, the little ones will send it to the Holy Capital to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor, or to the top of the Canaan Snow Mountain, to the Supreme Pope. ”

After listening to the old Orion, Xiao Ze walked towards the Canaanite elk.

This Canaanite elk, purple all over, judging from this, should be almost two hundred years old, tall and strong, a pair of antlers are extremely beautiful, and a pair of black eyes like jewels look at Xiao Ze watery. He fell in love with this Canaanite elk, so he shouted, "I want this Canaanite elk." ”

An old hunter said, "Then ask Xiao Shizi to ride it." After Xiao Shizi rode it, it only recognized Xiao Shizi in this life, and no one else was allowed to ride it. ”

Several of the king's guards came over and lifted him to the back of the Canaanite elk.

The back of the Canaanite elk is flat and slightly concave, which is suitable for riding. When he sat up, the Canaan elk did not resist, but gently shook its beautiful pair of antlers.

An old hunter said, "Little Shizi, quickly hold on to its big antlers, so that it will be the little Shizi." ”

Xiao Ze clenched the antlers tightly with both hands. The Canaan elk raised its head slightly, adjusted its posture a few times, and made Xiao Ze sit more comfortably, and then suddenly ran quickly.

Xiao Ze didn't feel the slightest shaking, as if it was a blink of an eye, Xiao Jia and Rong Zhu hadn't come back to their senses, and the Canaan elk had already run a big circle and came back.

The old Orion said, "Little son, it is yours now." ”

He was overjoyed, riding on the back of a deer, holding the antlers with one hand, and looking at Rong Tanu with a proud face, he said, "Tanu, you see, I also have my own partner." Anu, your one is called a big cat, and this one of mine is called a Pegasus. Pegasus, Pegasus, this is my Pegasus. ”

The great elk of Naganan seemed to understand his words, raised its head, and let out a melodious deer chirp.

Rong Tanu stroked the big cat's head, looked at the tall Hirozawa and the heavenly horse standing tall, and said, "Little Shizi, great." Your Pegasus is so good, it was like flying so fast just now. I'm so happy for you. ”

Xiao Ze pointed to the big cat and said, "Aslave, look at your big cat, it's so small, it can only drink milk." My Pegasus is almost two hundred years old. ”

Rontanu lowered his head, squatted down, put his head against the big cat's head, and whispered, "My big cat is still small." It's going to grow up, it's going to grow up. ”

Dinner was spent in a sea of laughter.

Rongzhu brought his wife's own wild fruit wine from the county guard's house.

Rong Zhu and Xiao Jia respectively gave orders: Today, except for the family members of the ten county guards who were on duty at night and the guards of the ten Canaan county palaces, everyone else could drink heartily.

Eating the delicious game newly hunted and drinking the sweet wild fruit wine, the family members of the county guard and the guards in the palace ate and drank very happily.

He was reluctant to leave his newfound Pegasus. The heavenly horse is indeed deeply human, since Xiao Ze rode it, it began to follow Xiao Ze inseparably, Xiao Ze got down from the heavenly horse, and it also followed Xiao Ze inch by inch. In the end, Xiao Ze simply rode directly on the Pegasus and didn't get down. He rode a Pegasus, holding his hands on the beautiful pair of Pegasi horns, and walked around majestically. Tsuzawa's dinner was also eaten on a heavenly horse.

Next to Tenma, Rongtanu still holds his big cat, eats the barbecue sent by the family, and watches the big cat lick the antelope milk. The big cat's food is getting bigger and bigger, and the five pots of antelope milk are eaten up again after a while.

Xiao Ze looked at Rong Tanu's big cat as thin as a lamb, and then looked at his majestic and majestic Pegasus, feeling that his Pegasus was much more majestic than the big cat, and he was very proud in his heart.

And Xiao Jia finally saw what a tree house is.

A treehouse is actually a small military tent built on beech wood. Rongzhu instructed Rongji to build his treehouse and the treehouse of the harvest on two branches adjacent to the same beech tree, and to place Rongtanu and Tsusawa in the same treehouse on the other beech. The twenty men on duty formed a circle one foot apart from the two trees.

When the bonfire gradually dimmed, Rongzhu came to the treehouse of the crops.

Rong Zhu said with a crying voice: "Your Highness, you and the queen mother have suffered. The minister has the trust of the emperor, and the crime deserves death. ”

Xiao Jia's tone was very calm, and he said, "Rongzhu, don't say that. Between the elbows and armpits, it was a snowy night, not to mention you, who was thousands of miles away, even the queen mother who was close at hand in the holy capital, myself, as well as the prime minister and the imperial doctor, they were all helpless. Don't blame yourself too much. ”

Rong Zhu sobbed a few times, his tone gradually returned to normal, and then said: "Your Highness, the minister has long said to the first emperor and the empress Niang Chen, Prince Yongcheng seems to be benevolent on the outside, but in fact he is extremely treacherous. It's just that the first emperor didn't believe what the minister said after all. ”

"You are wrong, my father has long been suspicious of Prince Yongcheng, a few months before his death, he had discussed to depose his title of prince and change his title to the county, but he died before he could implement it."

"The death of the first emperor is quite strange, can His Highness know the details in the Holy Capital?"

"I wasn't with my father at the time, so I didn't fully know. It was snowing heavily on the night of the emperor's death. In the early morning of the second day, someone in the palace came to tell me that the first emperor had died, and it was very clear that he had died of illness, and the queen mother had seen it in person; The designation of Prince Yongcheng to succeed to the throne is also the mother's personal experience. After that, I was effectively imprisoned. The Queen Mother also decreed that she would not summon any foreign ministers, including me. Since the death of the first emperor, the queen mother has only summoned me once, and it is clearly implied that someone was listening and watching me at that time, so what the queen mother told me was only to support His Majesty today, resolutely resign the title of crown prince, and ask for the title of prince to be changed to the prince of the county. Other than that, I haven't heard anything more. ”

"Didn't the king of Xiangting do something in the Holy Capital?"

"Didn't do it. Nor should it be done. The king of Xiangting has always had little contact with me. After the death of his father, there were so many bizarre things, and it was the most appropriate way for King Xiangtingjun to wait and see what happened. ”

"Your Highness said yes. The minister also thinks so. What the minister wants to ask is, has the king of Xiangting County asked someone to send any message to His Royal Highness? ”

"Nope. At that time, I was imprisoned in the Changle Palace, and it was very dangerous for him to send a message in. ”

"I understand. On the way to Canaan, didn't the king of Xiangting County send any news to His Highness? ”

"No, there isn't. The journey I came here was not as critical as it was when I was in Changle Palace, but it was not safe either. Sending a letter on the road is also not a wise move. Besides, as the king of the county with a different surname, the king of Xiangting County does not have a network in the holy capital, and his business is limited, so it is estimated that he will not have more news. ”

"I understand. The minister has a matter, and he must report it to His Royal Highness. ”

"You say."

"The king of Xiangting County learned from the mouth of Hou Huifang, the king of Beiling County, that the first emperor was poisoned by Prince Yongcheng in collusion with the king of Ganzi County, several other county kings and clan relatives."

Xiao Jia did not show surprise, but continued to say calmly: "You don't need to know about this from the King of Beiling County, in fact, I have already guessed it. The first emperor was as healthy as a tiger, how could he suddenly die of illness. Even if he dies of illness, it is impossible to designate Prince Yongcheng to succeed him before his death. It can also be seen from the edicts issued by Emperor Chongjing after he succeeded to the throne that everything is abnormal. It's just that I didn't expect that Prince Yongcheng would be so popular, and the princes of the county and the ministers of civil and military affairs would support him one-sidedly. ”

"Your Royal Highness, this is what the minister has mentioned to the emperor many times, Prince Yongcheng seems to be benevolent on the outside, but in fact he is treacherous, he knows people's hearts very well, and he knows how to use people's desires to control people, and he is also very good at disguise. However, according to Hunfang, there is another important reason why the princes of the county supported him, that is, the first emperor planned to abolish the county system and fully implement the county guard system, which touched the interests of the princes of the county, causing them to rebel against the first emperor and support Prince Yongcheng instead. ”

"That makes sense. You see the new policies implemented by Emperor Chongjing after he ascended the throne, which obviously has the intention of pleasing the clansmen. But there is still foreshadowing in the new policy, since the emperor knows the hearts of the people, he will not be unaware of the covetousness of the princes and clansmen for the throne. Therefore, although the county system has been restored on the surface, it is actually very different from the original county state, and these county kings are actually lifelong county guards, and the power is separated from the county guards. This Emperor Chongjing is really not the original Prince Yongcheng who only knows night and night songs. ”

"Your Highness, the Empress Mother is still imprisoned by the emperor in the Fengde Palace in the Holy Capital, and it is extremely dangerous. We've got to find a way to do it. ”

"Rongzhu, in fact, it's not just the queen mother, think about it, aren't you and me more dangerous?"

"Yes. Who in the world doesn't know that I Rongzhu is a close confidant of the first emperor, and I have a relationship with the queen mother and Her Royal Highness. But today, His Majesty still divides His Royal Highness to Canaan, which is nothing more than to find a reason to serve us in a pot. ”

"Exactly."

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"Emperor Chongjing is very concerned about maintaining his benevolent image, so I don't expect that in the short term, we will not be in danger. But sooner or later there will be danger. You think, Emperor Chongjing said that he would wait until I recovered before restoring my crown prince. This implies that I have to die. Only when I die can he justifiably canonize his son as the crown prince. But for the sake of his own face, he won't attack me for the time being. It's just that the two people of Luo Yuan and Queen Luo are not easy to deal with, and I am afraid that they may not be able to wait and do something to us in private. ”

"Is Your Highness saying that the crown prince has not been crowned?"

"Exactly. It's not just the uncrowned prince. Moreover, he was not favored by Emperor Chongjing. The queen is even less favored. If he can't succeed to the throne, then all their calculations will be in vain. Rongzhu, you have to pay attention to the fact that the reason why Yu Yuan wants to kill the king and seize the throne is not for His Majesty today. The treasure he bet on is rank. He is fighting the big mind of being a ruler and a regent. ”

"Didn't Your Majesty notice it?"

"As you said, Emperor Chongjing's greatest excellence is that he knows people's hearts very well, and he is very good at manipulating and exploiting people's selfish desires. I'm sure he knows all about it. On the one hand, he did not rank as a prince, and on the other hand, he made him the prince with the highest rank, slightly higher than other princes. Emperor Chongjing wanted to hang the appetite of the Empress Yuan. Because, for him, the priority is not to make a prince, nor to kill me, but another bigger thing. ”

"Your Highness, please."

"He wants to deal with the king of Beiling County wholeheartedly."

"Your Highness, the Holy Candle. The reason why Inuzi Ya'er was wronged is also related to this matter. Ya'er said that he had warned the king of Beiling County in advance that someone wanted to poison him in the white jade cup of Taimiao, but the king of Beiling County did not remind the king of Ganzi County, and he died of poison. Afterwards, the king of Beiling County also specially instructed Ya'er not to tell others. ”

Xiao Jia was still very calm: "I also know a little about the melting cliff. This is an anecdote and a strange anecdote in the Holy Capital, and almost everyone knows about it. However, there were a few important joints inside, and I was suspicious at the time, the white jade cup was a special instrument for the king of Beiling County, and poisoning it was clearly intended to poison the king of Beiling County. The incident happened again in the place where the attendants were serving, so it was obvious who wanted to poison the king of Beiling County. As for Melting Cliff poisoning Yunyun for the curse of a Ganzi king, I don't believe it at all. It's just that they are all deeply involved, playing games with each other, deceiving each other, and making them believe in themselves. Hey, the authorities are confused. ”

"Your Highness is wise. Your Highness, now that the situation is so complicated, and the situation of Your Highness and the Queen Mother is so critical, how should we deal with it? ”

"There are three things that are most critical. The first is for Emperor Chongjing to relax his vigilance against us. It is impossible to completely eliminate this vigilance, and it can only be reduced to the maximum. The second is to encircle the Abyss and the Queen, and let them know that we are in league with them. The third is to protect our offspring. ”

"Your Highness must have made some arrangements, please make it clear."

"I've thought of a few options, and you can think about whether it's feasible or not. First, we must fully comply with the emperor's will, one by one, and implement all new policies without reservation, and we must do our best and do it thoroughly. ”

"It's not hard. Chancellor can do it. ”

"Second, we have to pay our taxes in full and on time, or even overpay. This article is linked to the previous one, in order to show the effectiveness of the emperor's new policy. Of course, it was also to express his heartfelt feelings to the emperor. ”

"It's not that hard. Chancellor can do it. ”

"The third one is for Queen Yu and Yu Yuan. I thought, let Rongyu marry a prince? Of course, this prince must be the queen's. ”

"Is Your Highness talking about rank?"

"Nope. Queen Yu only gave birth to one son, Xiao Zhi, and has been married and had children for many years. Marrying a young man, it is too aggrieved and Rongyun is the daughter of a nobleman, how can she marry a side room, this is inconsistent with the etiquette law, and the emperor will never dare to allow it. You may not know that although Queen Yu only gave birth to a son, she also adopted a son, named Xiao Jian, who was born to Prince Yongcheng's favor to a palace lady, and the palace E died in childbirth, and Queen Luo adopted this Xiao Jian, and Queen Luo treated him as her own and loved him very much. Na Jian is now fifteen years old, and he is a talent. I mean, let Rong Yu marry Xiao Jian. In this way, as soon as he came, he was born humblely, and there was absolutely no possibility of succession, and the emperor would not suspect that we were trying to support his son to succeed to the throne to invite favor. Second, after all, Xiao Jian was raised by the Queen of Luo, and we can take the opportunity to envelop the Queen and the Queen of Luo. Just give us five or six years to breathe a little bit easier in Canaan, and then we'll make plans. ”

"Everything is in accordance with His Highness's will."

"I have one more idea."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"That's just in case. If the Emperor and Yu Yuan do something to you and me, it may be difficult for our family and heirs to be saved. Whether the two children in the holy capital can be saved or not can only be left to fate. But we can make arrangements for Dan Ze'er and Tanu as soon as possible, and find a safe place for them, at least to save their lives. ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. Where can there be such a place to live? ”

"Before I came, I had been thinking hard about it, but I couldn't find a solution. Your words today made me pause. ”

"Oh? Please make it clear to Your Highness. ”

"We can send Ze'er and Tanu to the White Sect and ask the Xuanyang Pope to educate them and make them become disciples of the White Sect. First, let's learn some of the secret methods of the White Sect, in case I can return to the Holy Capital to govern, the White Sect is always a big hidden danger, and they know the inside story and secret methods, so it will be more convenient for us to start when the time comes. ”

"Your Highness is really far-sighted."

"That's just talk, and it's just a matter of 'what if'. The main reason why they were allowed to go to the White Sect was so that they could save their lives. ”

"It's just that the Xuanyang Pope has already gone to Xuanxiu, the extremely cold land in the north, and is not in the Holy See."

"Oh?!" Xiao Jia paused for a while and said, "This doesn't matter too much. Do you know anyone else in the Holy See? ”

"The minister knows the Apostolic Position and the cardinals in the Holy See."

"That's good. This is a matter of urgency. Send them both over as soon as possible. ”

"Oh, Your Highness. The minister suggested that at the time of the summer solstice, His Royal Highness personally sent the two of them over to see the White Church See. ”

"Good."

"For now, that's all we can do. What do you say, Melt Cast? ”

"The minister thinks that it seems that he can also contact the king of Xiangtingjun."

"On the bright side, there should be less contact. Although the king of Xiangting County is not as suspicious of the emperor as the king of Beiling County, he is also the hereditary king of the county after all, and this 'hereditary replacement' is the thorn in the heart of Emperor Chongjing. However, secretly, you can traffic information. After all, the king of Xiangting is our own people. Moreover, we have only one person left in our hands, the king of Xiangtingjun. ”

"Your Highness, since the King of Beiling County and His Majesty today have a suspicion, hasn't His Highness thought of taking advantage of this suspicion?"

"Never. The king of Beiling County is extremely scheming. If we join forces with him, we will be slaughtered by Emperor Chongjing. Even if we are lucky enough to win the Chongjing Emperor with the King of Beiling County, the King of Beiling County will never share the world with us, and we will still end up with a slaughter. Therefore, no matter what the circumstances, we can't join forces with the King of Beiling County. However, although we don't join forces, we can use a Beiling County King. ”

"How to use it? Please make it clear to Your Highness. ”

"As far as I can imagine, he himself will come and contact us soon. When the time comes, we must reject them explicitly but tactfully. Not only must we refuse them, but we must also tell the emperor about the contact between the king of Beiling and us. Only then can we have a chance of survival. ”

"Your Highness Shengming!"

"Rongzhu, our road is very difficult."

"Yes, Your Highness. The minister will do his best to protect His Highness. ”

"I can't say that yet. The wind and rain in the holy capital are indispensable. Emperor, they don't have time to deal with us yet. This is our opportunity and we must take it. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Alright, you go back and rest. Tomorrow, you don't have to hunt anymore, just go back to Therodo. ”

"Whoa!"

"In the future, we will try not to meet or discuss in the city of Tairodo, let's come to the forest if we have something."

"Whoa!"

Not far away, another beech tree house lives Rongtanu and Yuze.

However, after Rong Tanu and the others retreated to the guard circle a zhang away, they said to Xiao Ze: "Xiao Shizi, go, I'll take you to a good place." ”

"My father won't let me go down, saying that there are snakes and worms down there."

"If we don't go down, it's on this beech. Walk. ”

Rong Tanu took Xiao Ze's hand and walked out of the tree house.

It was pitch black outside the treehouse. Xiao Ze said: "It's so dark, I'm a little scared." A, let's go into the tree house and sleep. ”

Rong Tanu added some strength to his hand, squeezed it hard, and said, "Don't worry, there will be light soon." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Rong Tanu finished speaking, two bright rays of light came from the roots of the beech tree, and the whole beech tree was as white as day.

"It's too bright, don't let Ah Weng see it." Rontanu said.

The two bright lights dimmed in response. The light was just right for Rondanu and Tsusawa to faintly see the branches and large leaves above the beech trees.

Xiao Ze said: "Answer, who is down there?" ”

"Xiao Shizi, no one is down there. It's the big cat down there. ”

"Do big cats still light up?"

"It's not a lamp, it's the eyes of a big cat."

"Big cats' eyes can glow?"

"yes."

"How does it know it can understand that we want these lights? You didn't talk to it. ”

"I don't have to talk to it, the big cat knows what I think."

"Wow, what else can a big cat do?"

"Big cats know a lot. I'll show you slowly later. ”

"But your big cat won't let you ride, and it's still not as good as my Pegasus."

"Your Pegasus is very good, Koshiko. But my big cat is also very good. Oops, let's go, I'll take you to see the fun. ”

Following the two faint rays of light emitted by the big cat, Rong Tanu took Xiao Ze's hand and climbed the branches up. The branches of the beech were flat and wide, and the two men reached the top of the beech as easily as if they were climbing the steps. The beech has two large leaves at the top, which are longer than an adult, like two small beds. Rongtanu first lay down on top of a leaf, with his head facing the petiole and his feet reaching out in the direction of the tip of the leaf, and then said to him, "Go to another leaf and lie down like me." ”

He did so.

He patted the stalk of the large leaf with his hand, and the leaf slowly curled up, wrapping it up, leaving only his head exposed. Xiao Ze stared at it dumbfounded.

Rontanu pulled his hands out of the leaf and placed it on the outside of the leaf. Then he turned to Xiao Ze and said, "Quick, you also pat your petiole and roll you up." We're going to sleep in this leaf tonight, okay? ”

Xiao Ze replied, "Okay, good, great," and quickly patted the petiole over there with his hand.

But the leaves of the company were not rolled up.

Xiao Ze felt that his strength was not enough, and patted the petiole of his leaf hard.

But the petiole still didn't move.

Xiao Ze said: "Aslave, why don't my leaves move, is this leaf dead?" ”

"No, it won't. There will be no dead leaves on beech wood. Rong Tanu crawled out of his leaf, walked to the place where the leaf was, and patted the petiole with his hand, and the petiole slowly rolled up.

Xiao Ze also put his hands outside and said happily: "Danu, wow, I also have my own leaf hut." A, let's sleep here. ”

Rontanu went back to his leaf and lay down, and said, "Well, little Shizi, we will sleep here." ”

"Do you sleep like this every night in the city of Tyródo, in the leaves?"

"I sometimes sleep in the leaves. There are also a lot of large beech trees in the city of Tyródo. But don't tell anyone else, this is our little secret, okay, Xiao Shizi? If Mother Aung found out, they wouldn't let us come out to sleep. ”

"Okay, it's our little secret."

"Xiao Shizi, wait a while, I'll show you the colorful sparrow that will shine."

As soon as Rong Tanu finished speaking, some small dots of light suddenly flew out of the forest, and these small dots flew closer and closer, and when they flew to the big leaves of Rong Tanu and Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze saw that this was a small finch, and there was a long feather on the head of these small finch, and the top of the feather was a feather eye, and the feather on each finch was shining with a different color of light. Hundreds of small finches with colorful lights gathered around Yu Ze and Rong Tanu. Xiao Ze felt as if he had flown into the starry sky.

Rontanu pointed to a finch with a golden gleaming on its eyes and said, "Go and let the little prince take a good look." ”

The golden finch fluttered its wings, flew in front of Tsuzawa, and then gently landed on the leaves wrapped in Tsuzawa.

He had never seen such a beautiful finch. The finches' eyes were shining with golden light, the feathers on the body were also brilliant gold, the big feathers on the wings were colorful, the colors were staggered, and the tail was a long dozen thin feathers, and the thin feathers were also colorful.

The goldfinch flew away, and several other finches came, each with colorful feathers on its wings and thin feathers on its tail, but the feathers on its body and the eyes on its head were of the same color.

Xiao Ze stretched out his hand to catch one and take a good look, but before he could reach out, the finches flew away.

Rong Tanu said, "Look, little son. Rontanu's hand gestured.

With the change of the hand of the Rongtanu, hundreds of small finches began to change their appearance around the leaves, and at once they formed a long, straight line, which stretched far away, like the line of a kite shining brightly; After a while, they were arranged into several circles of different sizes, with small circles in the middle of the large circles; One will be arranged in a heptagon, another will be in a triangle, one will be scattered in a row, and another will gather again like a shining mirror.

Rontanu's hand shook, and the finches flew away and disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Ze shouted: "Answer, answer, I'll look at it for a while, I'll look at it for a while." ”

Rong Tanu said: "Little Shizi, there is no sound on Ah Weng's side, let's not be discovered by them." Another day, Danu will show you other interesting things. Aren't you going to stay in Tyrodo all the time? ”

Xiao Ze looked at the two tree houses on his father's side not far away, and sure enough, there was no sound, so he whispered, "Yes, Danu, I will live here forever." It's better here than in the Holy Capital, where I live in the palace every day, and I don't see anything, only those annoying chamberlains and palace maids. ”

"That would be great. Xiao Shizi, can I go and play with you every day? There's a lot to do in Tyrodo. ”

"Okay, okay, Danu, you must come to me every day to play and teach me all these skills you know. A, let me ask you, where did you learn all these fun skills? You have to tell me, don't hide it from me. ”

"I won't hide it from you, little Shizi. However, I didn't learn these skills anywhere. I don't lie to you, little Shizi. You're my best friend, the same as the big cat. I won't lie to you. In our Terodo, there are a lot of good hunters, many hunters can also hunt and tame animals, and some of the best hunters can also tame lions and tigers, but their methods of taming animals are particularly terrifying. But, little son, do you know that I don't have to tame them, they just listen to me. The birds, the beasts, listen to me, and the horses, the bears, and the dogs. I just want to talk to them, and they will come and talk to me. Actually, Xiao Shizi, they don't even need to speak, they can all know what I'm thinking. They all listen to me. ”

"You're amazing, Annu. Annu, you're also my best friend, just like Pegasus. Anu, have you been doing this since you were a child? It's because you were born in Taylor, and I heard my father say that everyone here hunts. ”

"In Tairodo, everybody hunts. I didn't have these when I was a kid, but when I got a big cat, I did. ”

"Now that I have a Pegasus, can I learn that? My Pegasus is much more powerful than your big cat. ”

"Definitely, little son. Your Pegasus is almost two hundred years old, so big and so beautiful. Xiao Shizi, you can definitely learn these things too. When the time comes, we can play together, and there will be even more. Isn't it, Xiao Shizi? ”

"You're right, Aslave. My Pegasus is so good, I will, surely more and better than you will. ”

"Definitely, little Shizi. Let's go to sleep. I'm sleepy. The big cat is also sleepy. ”

"How do you know the big cat is sleepy too?"

"I just know. The big cat wants to sleep, and the big cat wants me to sleep. I don't sleep, it won't sleep. ”

"You're so good with a big cat. You can know what it wants. But I don't know what my Pegasus is thinking, what should I do? ”

"Tenma must want to sleep too, Koshiko. You've just met your Pegasus, and you'll know what Pegasus is thinking. ”

"Oh...... Me and my Pegasus are definitely better than you and your big cat. ”

"Hmmm......"
