The door closed again, Yingren frowned, Feng Wuma was about to step forward, Yingren stretched out his hand to stop it, shook his head and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Not long after, I heard footsteps behind the door, and then the door was opened again, and this time the scar man did not just open a gap, but opened the door completely, and then stood aside with a white lantern, "Come in." ”

Wang Han looked at Chu Huan, saw Chu Huan nodded, and immediately led Fat Liu and several other Praetorian Guard soldiers to take the lead in entering, behind the gate, there was a courtyard, a depression, no beauty, Wang Han and the others entered, observed around, and made sure that there was no ambush, then nodded outside the door, and Yingren walked into the courtyard surrounded by everyone.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Feng Wuma immediately made a gesture, leaving four soldiers of the Twelve Guards outside the gate of Zhongyizhuang, and after letting others enter the courtyard, they were scattered and distributed, and it only ensured in a moment that Yingren would not be attacked.

Yingren entered the courtyard and looked at it, then he looked back at the scarred man with the white lantern and asked, "Are you Cai Thirteen?" ”

The Scar Man shook his head and said, "The owner is waiting." ”

"Where?" Yingren hurriedly asked, "Take me to him." ”

The Scar Man bowed slightly and said, "Please come with me." ”

Chu Huan suddenly said, "Why didn't the owner of your village come to meet?" ”

The scar man glanced at Chu Huan and said, "The owner of the village has just suffered from a serious illness, and now he has not recovered, and he is about to be raised, if you want to see him, you can go to see him, but he can't come." ”

Yingren thought for a while, and finally said, "You take me to see him." He said to Chu Huan: "Chu Huan, Feng Wuma, you come with me." ”

The two agreed, and the scar man led the way in front with a lantern, Chu Huan and Feng Wuma followed left and right, but Li Maotu made a look, and the four captains of the Shenyi Guard followed from a distance.

Walking along a path to the depths of the house, the night wind was gusting, and the air was gloomy, and when I came to a small courtyard, the Scar Man led a few people in, and then entered a room in the courtyard with the lights on.

Everywhere you pass on the road, it's pitch black as ink, but this lonely lamp is very conspicuous.

The courtyard was very deserted, and the scar man walked to the door and said softly, "Owner, the people have arrived." With that, he pushed the door open.

The sound of "crunch" sounded, Chu Huan and Feng Wuma were on guard, Ying Ren hesitated slightly, and finally walked into the door, only to see that the furnishings in the house were very simple, and the entrance saw dense spirit cards.

Several long cases, the table is lined with black wood made of spirit cards, a total of four rows, more than 100 spirit seats, is a table for melons and fruits, lit two very thick white candles, the fire in the room, is the candle flame.

Suddenly, seeing several rows of dense spirit cards, Yingren was obviously surprised, and with an "oops" sound, he couldn't help but take two steps back, while Feng Wuma and Chu Huan's hands were already clenched on the hilt.

But he heard an old voice next to him and said: "Your Highness don't be afraid, these heroic spirits are the loyal souls of the Great Qin Empire, if there is no them, there may be no existence of Your Highness in the world, they protected Your Highness's family during their lifetime, and they will also be loyal to Your Highness's family after death." ”

The voice was old and slow, and several people turned their heads to look, only to see that there was a chair in the corner of the room, and an old man with white hair was sitting on the chair at this time, wearing a brown linen coat, but with a blanket on his knees, in that dim corner, it looked very strange.

"Without them, there would be no king?" Yingren frowned: "What do you mean by that?" ”

The old man lifted the blanket and got up slowly, looking a little difficult, he stood up, faced Yingren, and then slowly knelt down again, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty see the prince!" ”

Chu Huan and Feng Wuma glanced at each other, their eyes showed a look of surprise, they didn't know what the identity of this old man was, but since he called himself a "subordinate", he was obviously not an ordinary person.

Yingren raised his hand and said, "Get up." ”

The old man seemed to stand up with some difficulty, he stared at Yingren, while Chu Huan and Feng Wuma stared at him.

The old man looked to be seventy or eighty years old, very old, with wrinkles on his face piled up and flabby, and his eyes looked very cloudy.

"Your Highness, please be seated!" The old man pointed to a chair, Yingren nodded, walked over and sat down, looked at the old man and said, "You don't look well, sit down and talk." ”

The old man said respectfully: "Your Highness Xie! He sat down in his chair, covered it with a blanket, and said to Scar by the door: "Make tea!" ”

The Scar Man was obviously in awe of the old man, and he was about to retreat when he bowed, but Yingren had already shook his head and said, "No need. He looked at the old man and said, "You haven't answered this king yet, you just said that without these people, there would be no king, what are you talking ......about?" The king did not understand. ”

The old man didn't give an explanation immediately, showing a faint smile, and his voice was old: "Your Highness, how old do you think Your Excellency is now?" ”

Yingren was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "It should be sixty, right?" He still had a lot of reservations, and the old man looked to be at least seventy years old.

The old man showed a desolate smile, shook his head and said, "Your Highness is wrong, Your Majesty is only forty-six years old this year!" ”

"What?" Yingren was taken aback and suddenly changed color, while Chu Huan and Feng Wuma were also dumbfounded.

This old man will not be less than seventy years old in terms of appearance and spirit, but he claims to be only forty-six years old, how can he not be surprised, Feng Wuma and Chu Huan glanced at each other again, and felt more and more weird.

Looking at Yingren's posture, as soon as he came to Zhongyizhuang, he looked for Cai Shisan, and seemed to know who Cai Shisan, and knew something about this person, but at this moment, Yingren's performance seemed to know nothing about Cai Shisan.

Feng Wuma asked calmly, "Are you Cai Thirteen?" ”

The owner nodded and said, "His real name is Cai Quan, and he killed thirteen people in a row in the first battle back then, and he got a nickname called Cai Thirteen." ”

Yingren frowned and said, "You said that you are only forty-six years old now, but ...... But how do you look so old? ”

"A man with a knife wound, and has been in this room for twenty years, accompanying these loyal souls every day, if it were someone else, it must not be too young." The owner Cai 13 smiled faintly.

Yingren groaned slightly, and finally said: "This king came this time because he was entrusted by the prince's brother to come to pick up something. ”

The owner of the village was not surprised, obviously expected, and nodded: "Twenty years have passed, and His Majesty has been waiting for this day. He sighed and said: "Your Majesty has lived for twenty years, no one or no ghost, nothing more than to be loyal to your duties, and for twenty years, Your Majesty has counted the days, and finally waited until today." ”

Yingren couldn't help but ask, "You said you waited here for twenty years?" Why wait 20 years? Who told you to wait here for twenty years? When you say dedication, is that for that thing? ”

The owner didn't answer, just looked at Yingren with a very strange gaze, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Your Highness, it's getting late, I don't know if Your Highness can stay in the village tonight to rest for a night, so that these loyal souls can thank Your Highness for your kindness, and what Your Highness wants to take can only be obtained tomorrow." ”

Yingren frowned, he just wanted to get things earlier and leave this gloomy Zhongyi Village, if he could leave now, he didn't want to stay a moment longer.

But Cai Shisan's meaning was to let himself stay here for a night, Yingren was really reluctant, and couldn't help asking, "The thing is not in your hands?" ”

The owner stared at Yingren, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "It's not in the hands of the minister now, but the minister will definitely hand it over to His Highness." ”

Yingren thought for a while, and finally said, "Since this is the case, this king will stay here for a night." He got up, and the owner of the village had already instructed the Scar Man, "Arrange a place for Your Highness to live." ”

The Scar Man agreed, and Yingren glanced at the dense spirit card, then looked at the Scar Man, and asked, "How old is he?" ”

Scarface looks to be in his early fifties, and since the owner looks over seventy but only in his forties, the real age of Scarface is probably much younger.

Sure enough, the owner said calmly: "Twenty years ago, he was only eighteen years old!" ”

Yingren nodded, but Chu Huan suddenly asked, "In this manor, there are only the two of you?" ”

The owner glanced at Chu Huan with very strange eyes, and asked rhetorically: "In such a place, do you think there will be many people who are willing to live here?" ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "I'm presumptuous." ”

Several people left the owner's courtyard and went to another courtyard under the leadership of the scar man, and settled down, but the guards were already under the command of Feng Wuma, guarding all the courtyards, and another man patrolled the manor.

At this time, the night was dark, and Zhongyizhuang seemed even more deserted.

Cai Shisan was still sitting on the chair at this time, in the dim corner, like a ghost, but his eyes were quietly looking at the rows of spirit cards, expressionless.

The door was pushed open, and the scar man walked lightly in front of Cai Shisan, and said respectfully: "The person has already been arranged." ”

Cai 13 nodded and did not speak.

"They brought their own dry food, and they didn't eat the food they had prepared in the farm." The Scar Man said softly, "Owner, they are still very wary of us. ”

Cai 13 nodded and said calmly: "This is unexpected. But that's better. ”

The Scarred Man frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Although Cai Shisan didn't look at his expression, he seemed to guess that he had something to say, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Scar said: "Owner, you ...... Has it already been decided? ”

Cai 13 leaned back in his chair and said calmly: "From the beginning, I have made up my mind and have never changed. ”

"But ......!" The scarred man's eyelids jumped: "In this way, I'm only afraid of ......!" ”

Cai Shisan shook his head and interrupted him: "I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say more." Staring at the rows of spiritual positions, he said slowly: "No matter what we do, these brothers are watching us. I'm already on the verge of death, and at least when I die, I'm qualified enough to be with their tablets. ”
