What Concubine Jingshu prepared for the two of them was not a room, but a strange space, where the violent fire and still water stood on both sides, making this space two distinct parts. On one side was a violent crimson, and on the other side was a quiet dark blue, and when Chen An walked in the red, he actually felt that the cultivation in his body was growing a little faster than before.

But at the same time, a sense of irritability rose in his heart, and this feeling intensified as the realm deepened, just when this emotion was about to explode. One of his feet stepped into the deep blue, and a very slow, even somewhat lazy energy slowly flowed into his body, soothing this negative emotion.

Chen An gradually felt a little tired, as if he was not interested in everything, he sat on the ground, and then felt uncomfortable again, so he simply lay down. Then he slowly closed his eyes, it seemed that he was going to start falling asleep here, Xia Biao saw this, shook his head with a smile, and said loudly: "Aunt Concubine, don't tease my friend, show up." ”

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Jingshu walked out of the clear line between crimson and dark blue, she opened her hands, one hand held high in the crimson space, and the other hand was placed low in the dark blue space. Then his hands slowly stirred, and he actually stirred up these two incompatible spaces, like faces, and finally turned this place into a purple space.

Chen An instantly felt that the mental fatigue disappeared, and a neutral and peaceful energy surrounded him, he stood up, looked around curiously, and asked Xia Biao, "Your Highness, what is this place." Xia Biao replied: "The static time basin, a place that the Gu family can't explore. ”

Chen An was puzzled and continued to ask, but Xia Biao did not answer, but looked at Concubine Jingshu and said softly: "Aunt Concubine, I want to eat the osmanthus cake you made." Concubine Jingshu glanced at her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Hmph, the little guy's secret is not for me yet, okay, Aunt Concubine will go out and do it for you." ”

With that, she turned and walked towards the middle, where there seemed to be a door, causing her form to fade away. On both sides of the space, Storm Fire and Still Water also turned and walked towards the edge, and their figures disappeared.

Xia Biao saw that only he and Chen An were left here, and looked at Chen An who was full of anxiety, knowing that his heart was full of doubts, so he said: "Okay, now if you have anything you want to ask, just say it." ”

Chen An scratched his head, there were too many doubts in his heart, but he didn't know where to start, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "That, what is the relationship between you and the proprietress of this restaurant." ”

Xia Biao was stunned, he thought that Chen An would first ask something about the Gu family, or why he was involved in it, and then came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I called her Aunt Concubine, not as a polite title, but because he is indeed my aunt." ”

Chen An sighed, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that this fierce woman would become gentle when she saw Xia Biao, he thought it was the identity of Prince Xia Biao, but he never thought that there would be such a relationship. It's just that this is not what he cares about the most, the first sentence to ask is just to foreshadow, and the next thing to say is what he wants to know the most.

Chen An looked at Xia Biao and said seriously: "Mrs. Mei is the original wife of Duke An Guo, and Mrs. Mei was killed, so she should be extremely angry." But I don't think An Guogong seems to be very sad, nor does he look very angry. And there are so many people from the Gu family, and everyone's face is different, which makes me feel like I'm not here to ask about the guilt, but like I'm here to make trouble by taking advantage of Mrs. Mei's death. ”

Xia Biao smiled, his eyes were full of approval, "Your judgment is good, the Gu family really doesn't care about Mrs. Mei's death, even if Mrs. Mei really dies, then Gu Chengfeng will not shed a single tear." Chen An was puzzled and asked, "How can this be? Isn't Mrs. Mei Gu Chengfeng's original wife, it stands to reason that she should have a deep feeling." ”

Xia Biao shook his head with a smile and replied: "Gu Chengfeng is lustful by nature, there are already nine concubines in the family, and I don't know how many women there are outside. And among the nine concubines, there are three people whose maiden families are quite powerful, and these three often fight openly and secretly in the Anguo Mansion, in this case, the name of Mrs. Mei, the original wife, is only in vain. ”

Chen An nodded, feeling some sympathy for Mrs. Mei's plight, and suddenly remembered a guess, and exclaimed: "Did Mrs. Mei know that she would die, so she had already arranged it in advance, but she couldn't find a chance." It just so happened that Zhang led them to pretend to be me to rob money everywhere, so Mrs. Mei did everything she could, attracted them over, and then pretended to fake her death. ”

"It's possible that you're right, so we'll have to find the real Lady Mei, and she's still in the city. Xia Biao bowed his head and agreed with Chen An's guess. "We?" Chen An was a little puzzled, in this matter, he had been picked out of Xia Biao, and the follow-up Zhong Gu family would not embarrass him for the sake of the prince's face, but listening to Xia Biao's tone, things were far from being so simple.

"Yes, we are. Xia Biao nodded, then looked at Chen An, chuckled, and asked rhetorically: "You don't think that Gu Chengfeng came to Jiangyuan City with a large family just to make trouble." ”

"What is that for?" Chen An didn't know the connection, so he couldn't guess the purpose of the Gu family. Xia Biao's eyes showed a hint of anger, and he replied, "In order to take control of Jiangyuan City from me." Chen An was shocked and hurriedly said: "How dare he, he is just a prince, and you are the crown prince, is he trying to rebel?"

Xia Biao smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Although I am the prince, I am only the prince." As long as you don't ascend to the throne for a day, you can always be replaced by others, do you know, my father emperor once established the Great Xia Dynasty under the support of countless powerful sects, if his crown prince can't even hold a small city, then it means that my crown prince is not the best choice. ”

Chen An was a little silent when he heard this, but what he was thinking about was not the prince's situation, but why this noble person, whom he had never met before, would try to keep himself after meeting for the first time, and he did not shy away from telling himself these things. He thought about it for a long time, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, the prince did this for only one purpose, that is, to recruit him as a member of the prince's camp.

It's just that he, Chen An, only wants to spend his time studying in the academy quietly, and he really has no interest in getting involved in this kind of royal dispute, and he doesn't have the courage. Immediately, he had to euphemistically express his position, and said tentatively: "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince's situation to be so difficult, but it's a pity that the grass people's status is low, and their strength is low, so they really can't help much." ”

Xia Biao looked at him with a smile, shook his head, and said, "Others may not be able to help, but you can." Chen Anxin sighed, I said this secretly, don't you understand, I don't want to die one day, so I made up my mind to plan a showdown. But when he heard Xia Biao's next sentence, he suddenly felt that it was not impossible.

"This palace promises you, as long as you help, this palace will release all your friends first, and after successfully holding control, this palace can not only let you go to the royal treasury to choose any three treasures, but also accompany you to Nanwu Continent. Xia Biao said leisurely, as if he was not worried that Chen An would refuse this condition.

Chen An's face was entangled, Nanwuzhou was where the Enma Sect was located, presumably the prince already knew about his relationship with the Enma Sect, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that this prince is destined to eat me, and he can't hide anyway, so it's better to give it a fight, and seek wealth and wealth in danger." So he said to Xia Biao: "You can help, but you have to keep me safe." Xia Biao nodded, "That's nature." ”

Chen An's face softened slightly, Xia Biao showed a happy expression when he saw this, and then after discussing things with him, he sent him out of the space first. After Chen An left, a slender figure appeared from the middle, it was Concubine Jingshu, she was puzzled: "Why did you lie to him." ”

Xia Biao put his hands behind his back and chuckled: "If I don't lie to him, his heart will always be unsteady, so how can he do things for me." Concubine Jingshu nodded, then stared at Xia Biao's back, and found that this child, who had grown up since he was a child, suddenly became a little strange, "Maybe this is growth." Concubine Jingshu thought to herself.

"Mrs. Mei's death was arranged by you. Concubine Jingshu said suddenly, Xia Biao's figure was stunned, and he slowly turned around and looked at Concubine Jingshu with an expressionless face. Concubine Jingshu felt a little chill in her heart for a while when she saw such a look, and she only felt that the man in front of her had become very unfamiliar, no longer the child who was willing to call herself an aunt, but an indifferent and ruthless king.

Then Xia Biao suddenly smiled, just like the fart who begged him for osmanthus cake when he was a child. "Aunt Concubine, where do you want to go, Gu Chengfeng, this old guy I usually have a headache when I look at it, how can I take the initiative to lead him to Jiangyuan City. ”

Concubine Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled, then snorted lightly and said: "Gu Chengfeng, an old immortal, relies on his own military exploits, and has many soldiers under his command, and he is usually used to being domineering. Now that he is still bringing people to Jiangyuan City to find your trouble, it seems that he is really becoming more and more lawless, why hasn't your father cleaned him up. ”

Xia Biao chuckled lightly and replied: "Although my Xia Kingdom seems to be prosperous now, the people live and work in peace and contentment. But in the frontier, there are many small tribal countries watching, and the stability of the country still needs to be guarded by outstanding generals like Gu Chengfeng. So even if they did something out of the ordinary, their father was only beaten. ”

Concubine Jingshu hummed lightly, "This is your man's business, I don't understand, and I can't control it." But if this old immortal really dares to go too far, I'll beat him up and give you anger. When Xia Biao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, and said with a smile: "My aunt is good at everything, but she doesn't have a wishful husband, by the way, I know that I will come to my house as a guest in some time, so it is better for me to introduce my aunt." ”

Concubine Jingshu glanced at Xia Biao, and said angrily: "The old lady doesn't like little white faces. After speaking, his face changed, and he exclaimed, "Oh, the tea I boiled is still in the stove." Then he turned and walked out of the space.

Xia Biao shook his head with a smile when he saw this, and then found something on the ground, and when he stepped forward to pick it up, he found that it was a small money bag, and after opening it, there were some broken silver coins lying inside, which should have been accidentally dropped by Chen An. Xia Biao looked at the money bag in his hand, with a look of nostalgia and determination in his eyes, and said to himself: "Maybe you have forgotten me, but I always remember that I will help you avenge your revenge." ”

And on a street in Suzaku District, Chen An was finishing eating noodles in a noodle restaurant with satisfaction, and when he called Xiao Er to settle the bill, he touched his waist, which was empty, looking at Xiao Er's face clearly, Chen An said embarrassedly: "You can't recruit guys here." ”

Xiao Er sneered, turned around and walked towards the counter, and when he turned around, he was holding a short knife in his hand. When he was about to put on a fierce face towards Chen An, he found that next to the position where Chen An was doing, there were suddenly two more people, one of whom put the long sword in his hand on the table, turned his head and saw Xiao Er, whose expression froze, and wondered: "Are you the Xiao Er here?" ”

Xiao Er looked at the long sword on the table, secretly compared it with his short knife, put the short knife away silently, and then skillfully took out a towel and put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile on his face: "Two guest officers, may I ask what you want to eat." ”

One of the handsome young men pointed to the bowl of noodles that Chen An had finished eating, and replied, "That's it, serve us ten more bowls." Xiao Er sighed, then shouted a word to the kitchen, then walked to the counter, hid the short knife, and looked at the three of them while wiping the table.

After Chen An saw the two, he was pleasantly surprised: "Xuanyuanxing! Hao You, are you okay?" Xuanyuanxing smiled: "Heh, that's nature, what kind of person is this day, they see that it is impossible for people like me to do bad things, so they let it out." ”

Hao You exposed it on the side, rubbed his shoulders and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it was Xie Lingyun who let us out, saying that it was the Vermilion Bird Hall that saw Xie Lingyun's face, and let us out for the time being, but we must prove our innocence within three days, otherwise we will be locked up." She also said that she was no longer the commander and that she would follow us. ”

Chen An nodded, knowing that this should be Xia Biao's arrangement, as for the three-day deadline, it gave Chen An a headache, and he didn't know where to start. He suddenly remembered Commander Zhang's group, and asked, "Have you been released?" Zhang leads them,"

Hao You shook his head and replied, "Then I don't know, you go and ask Xie Lingyun." At this time, Xiao Er brought the noodles up, and the two of them seemed to have not eaten half of them for several days, gobbling up for a while, ten bowls after ten bowls, until the bowls on the table were piled up several times, and the two of them touched their stomachs with satisfaction and burped.

Xuanyuan Xing exhaled comfortably and said to Chen An: "Okay, we're full, you go pay the bill." As soon as Chen An heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, looked back at Xiao Er, who was wiping the table, leaned forward, and said softly: "Why do you want me to pay the bill, didn't you bring any money?"

Hao You looked at Chen An in surprise, spread his hands, and replied as a matter of course: "Our money has been cheated out by the casino owner, where did the money come from." Xuanyuan Xing sat over, grabbed Chen An's shoulder, and said, "Don't be so stingy, I remember that you don't have a lot of money, this time I will borrow you as if I was borrowing you today, and I will pay you back next time." ”

Chen An's face was sad, he shook his head and said nothing, most of his money was used as compensation, and it was taken away by the Vermilion Bird Hall and the White Tiger Palace. And the only pieces of silver that were left did not know where they had fallen.

When Xuanyuan Xing and Hao You saw the expression on Chen An's face, they gradually realized that something was wrong, and sat up straight silently in a contemplative manner.

The shopkeeper sneered and walked towards the Suzaku Bell hanging on the counter, this is the magic weapon of the Suzaku Patrol Division's reporting weapon, as long as it is shaken, someone from the Patrol Division will quickly come and deal with the people who are making trouble here.

Just as the shopkeeper's hand reached for Suzaku Bell, a fair-skinned and slender hand stood in front of his hand.
