Chapter 12: Little San'er

It wasn't until it was almost dark that Kaifeng City slowly calmed down.

At this moment, Kaifeng City finally implemented a curfew. In this case, if there is no token of Kaifeng Mansion, any idle people who wander around the street will be killed immediately! Now no one dares to come out!

As for the Imperial Palace, it has slowly returned to calm at this moment!

In the East Palace, in the prince's bedroom, Zhao Chen was waiting anxiously.

He kept walking around the room, in the past, there were several eunuchs and palace maids in this dormitory, tonight, these eunuchs and palace maids were driven away by Zhao Chen, and now he is the only one in the room.

"Why hasn't Wang De come yet? Isn't the time ripe yet? Does he have to wait until the Jin soldiers surround Kaifeng before he can send that child? Zhao Chen said secretly.

He became more and more anxious in his heart, but the more anxious he was, the calmer he became! It was already the middle of the night, and he thought to himself that Wang De might not come over, thinking of this, he sighed softly, with a burst of disappointment in his heart, ready to sleep!

However, at this moment, there was a sudden soft knock on the window! Zhao Chen was startled, he hurriedly looked towards the window!

I saw the window open slowly and silently, and a young man appeared in front of the window, it was Wang De!

Zhao Chen was overjoyed, but soon he was stunned again, and said, "General Wang, are you the only one who sneaks into the palace?" Did the kid ever bring it? ”

He looked at Wang De expectantly, and Wang De nodded.

A moment later, Wang De jumped through the window into the room, holding a child in his arms, and then he put the child on the ground. The child's body was a little numb, he was unsteady on his feet, and he almost fell, but Wang De had already held him up.

Zhao Chen took a deep breath, he lit the candle and looked at the child! I saw that this child was the same height as him, and the child's eyes were unusually bright, revealing a trace of treacherous cunning! The child's face is very delicate, this face is nine points similar to Zhao Chen's, if you don't look carefully, you almost think that this is Zhao Chen's twin brother!

"Like! It's so similar! It's so similar! Zhao Chen couldn't help muttering to himself!

"Little San'er, this one is His Royal Highness the Prince, and you still haven't seen His Royal Highness the Prince?" Wang De said suddenly.

The child looked at Wang De, and seeing that Wang De nodded, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The grass people are the third child, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Don't speak loudly, lest you alarm others!" Originally, when he heard that the child's name was "Xiao San'er", Zhao Chen still felt a little ridiculous, the word Xiao San had a special meaning in later generations! But at this moment, hearing the voice of this little San'er was too loud, Zhao Chen was taken aback again, and Wang De was also taken aback! Fortunately, Zhao Chen had already driven the eunuchs and palace maids away from him, and now there were no eunuchs and palace maids around his bedroom, and no one heard the sound here!

"General Wang, thank you!" Taking a deep breath, Zhao Chen said.

"Your Highness, the news of Jin Bing's crossing of the Yellow River came today, and there was chaos in Kaifeng City! In the palace, countless guards feared that their homes would be robbed or their families would be in danger, so they all ran back to their homes! When it gets dark, the palace gates are closed, and the guards can't return to the palace! Therefore, the defense in the palace is far less than usual, so I can take Xiao San'er into the palace! It's just that the palace Ouchi is not trivial after all, and when I came all the way, I was still discovered by a few guards, and I knocked those guards unconscious! However, they will recover soon, and I am afraid that tonight, the entire palace will capture the assassins! So, I must leave now! Wang De originally wanted to introduce the general situation of the child, but now he had no time at all, so he had to say in a hurried voice.

"Good! There is General Lao Wang, you leave first! Zhao Chen nodded.

"So the general will take his leave!" Wang Dedao.

At that moment, Wang De said goodbye and left! He had just jumped down from the window when a eunuch appeared in the distance, and Wang De was shocked! His body flashed, and like lightning, he rushed into the flowers around him! He is a congenital master, with excellent martial arts and unusually good light skills! The eunuch had no martial arts, and was not much different from ordinary people, so he was not discovered.

Wang De was shocked! The number of eunuchs, palace maids, and guards in the palace is too much! If he is not careful, he will be discovered, once he is discovered, once someone screams, there will be endless masters to surround him, and with his identity as an innate martial artist, there will be only one way to die at that time! So he had to be careful along the way!

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want that kid to do?" Wang De is still speculating about this question in his heart! If it weren't for the past few months of getting along, Zhao Chen treated him sincerely, treated him as a friend and teacher, and made him feel that it was difficult to repay the "monarch's kindness", and he would never do such a thing for Zhao Chen!

He went all the way east, and met more than a dozen waves of guards on the way! When he came to the gate of the palace wall, there was another chaos in the palace, this time it was found that there were "assassins" in the palace, so all the palace guards were dispatched to cause a short period of chaos! Fortunately, Wang De had already reached the wall, and his body swam up like a gecko, and disappeared after a while.

*** ***

In the bedroom, Zhao Chen was looking at the child!

He sat there, and the kid stood there! The child's eyes rolled around, looking at the surroundings! If an ordinary child comes to such a strange environment, he must be timid and frightened, but this child is not a little timid!

"Your name is Xiao San'er? What's the last name? After thinking about it, Zhao Chen said.

"The grass people are called Xiao San'er, and they don't have a surname." Xiao San'er said.

"No surname? How is this possible? Zhao Chen frowned and said, "Who else is in your family?" ”

"The grass people have no father and mother since they were children, so they have no surname, and I have been begging in Kaifeng City all these years! A few days ago, General Wang found the grass people and asked them to follow him! During the day today, he said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to summon the grass people! The grass people are really fortunate to be able to meet His Royal Highness the Prince! Speaking of this, the little junior knelt down suddenly, kowtowing to Zhao Chen constantly!

"It turned out to be such a character!" Zhao Chen said secretly.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was rich, the Great Song Dynasty was also the dynasty with the largest gap between the rich and the poor in history! During the Song Dynasty in the north and south, the peasant uprisings continued, Wang Xiaobo, Li Shun uprising, Songjiang uprising, Fangla uprising, Zhongxiang Yang Mo uprising and so on, later statistics, the Song Dynasty is the dynasty with the most peasant uprisings in Chinese history! In the Song Dynasty, the living standards of the peasants were extremely poor, and it can even be said that it was the worst dynasty in a thousand years! Countless peasants starved to death, so countless orphans were formed, and many of these orphans were concentrated in various cities, including Kaifeng Prefecture, where there were also many orphans! Most of these orphans are begging for a living, among which the poor and incapable often freeze and starve to death, and the remaining orphans have basically developed a delicate face. When they grow up, these orphans are scoundrels! The scoundrels in Kaifeng City are famous all over the world! In the Water Margin, Yang Zhi was framed by the splashing skin of Kaifeng Mansion, so that he fell into the Daimyo Mansion, and finally had to go to Liangshan!

Seeing that this little third child was submissive on the surface, but actually had a cunning face, Zhao Chen couldn't help but stand up, and felt a little irritable in his heart.

He really didn't know if this little junior was reliable, and whether he was willing to go to see the Jurchens instead of him!

At this moment, the little san'er's kowtow has stopped, but the little san'er is still kneeling there, looking humble on the surface!

"Would you like to do something for me?" I don't know how long it took, Zhao Chen said.

"The grass people are naturally willing to do things for the prince! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the monarch, how dare the grass people disobey the Prince's orders? Xiao San'er replied unusually fluently.

"I'll let you do anything, and you're willing?" Zhao Chen said.

"It's nature!" Xiao San'er packed the ticket.

The more this little junior answered so fluently, the more uneasy Zhao Chen felt in his heart! What he asked Xiao San'er to do is really incredible, and when the time comes, if Xiao San'er shows his feet, it will be terrible!

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it's already the third watch, haven't you fallen asleep?" At this moment, a sharp shout suddenly came from the door!

Hearing this voice, Zhao Chen was taken aback, his body froze there, and cold sweat broke out all over his body! Not only did he stay there, but the junior also stayed there!

After a long time, Zhao Chen reacted! The eunuch outside only reminded him to sleep, not that he noticed anything strange here!

"I'm going to sleep! What kind of noise is it outside? Zhao Chen calmed down, he faintly heard the noise outside, so he asked.

"Your Highness, there are assassins entering the palace, and several rulers have ordered strict guards to be kept secret, and the assassins must be found! Your Highness, more guards will come to the East Palace soon, if you disturb Your Highness, please atone for your sins! The eunuch said.

"It's okay!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

He gently blew out the candle! In the night, I saw that the child named Xiao San'er was still kneeling there!

Zhao Chen had already planned something, but now he felt that there were too many flaws in this plan! Not to mention the temperament of this little san'er, whether he can do things for him, there are people cleaning up in his dormitory every day, he can't help but let those eunuchs and palace maids come in, right? This little third child is hiding in the dormitory, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all here, what should I do if someone finds out?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm sleepy." I don't know how long time has passed, Xiao San'er has been kneeling there, and at this moment he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said.

No matter how cunning and exquisite, he is just a ten-year-old child after all!

"Flatten! Thou hast slept in my chamber this day...... You will stay here from now on, and you will not leave here! You can't let anyone find out but me! You probably also understand that this is the palace, and if you are discovered, there is only one way to die, even I can't protect you! At most, I was blamed by the emperor! Zhao Chen said.

Hearing this, Xiao San'er's face finally showed a terrifying expression, and his body was trembling slightly!

"The grass people know!" After a while, Xiao San'er said.

"This bed is huge, you and I can sleep in the bed today!" Zhao Chen said.

"The grass people will never dare!" Who knew that Xiao San'er refused.

Zhao Chen didn't care, the gap between the status of monarchs and ministers in this era is too big! After staying in the palace for a few months, he slowly "followed the customs", and he was no longer reluctant at the moment. He fell asleep on the bed, and the little third child shrank in a corner of the dormitory and fell asleep slowly.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Chen woke up early and saw Xiao San'er curled up in the corner, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and let out a long sigh!

Wake up Xiao San'er and order him to hide under the bed, and never make a sound! At the moment, he left the dormitory and headed towards Jujing Garden, and today he still follows Wang De to practice martial arts.
