He laughed so hard that he beat his chest a few times before calming down, and then said, "Manager Xu, the head of the East Palace!" What a prestige! But do you think that the old slave will not hate you like this? I hate you, and I want to eat you alive. Who would have thought that these people in the East Palace who are looking forward to your early death every day are fascinated by you one by one, and they protect you in turn. I wanted to attack you, but you were never alone.

Finally, an assassin broke into the East Palace tonight, and the golden-faced secret guard asked the old slave to tell the night boy that he would not leave an inch by your side, and the old slave guessed that the secret guards around you had gone after the assassin. The old slave pretended not to know what to do, and watched the night boy get drunk and unconscious. He was also personally sent back to his room.

Just when the old slave was about to make a move on you, an assassin actually came, the old slave wanted to do this, Your Highness, you have so many enemies, why bother the old slave to take action in person. Who would have thought that the assassin didn't kill you? There was no way, the old slave had to personally send His Highness on the next ride! ”

Mr. Xu slowly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and approached me step by step, but I couldn't exert any strength, I could only stare at my eyes and watch the dagger stab at my chest.

Since crossing over to Gu Tianba, I have often encountered all kinds of dangers, but I can always turn the danger into a disaster at a critical moment. There was no exception, and I thought I was going to die. However, just as the dagger was about to plunge into my chest, a secret guard leaped from the roof of the house and blocked the sharp dagger with his sword.

"Yo! There's one hidden! Manager Xu obviously didn't take this short secret guard in his eyes, and the facts also proved that this secret guard was not his opponent at all, and after a few moves, the long sword in his hand was snatched by Manager Xu and slashed into his chest.

The sword came out of the guard's chest and came straight at me. I guess no one will save me this time! However, just as the sword was about to plunge into my chest, the guard leapt from the ground and pounced on me, and the silver mask on the guard's face fell off as the sword plunged into her body again.

"Morning dew!" How could it be Chaolu, didn't she go to the hidden god doctor to recuperate? How could he be wearing the clothes of the dark guard, and appear here.

Mr. Xu killed Chaolu, two swords, both stabbed into the chest, Chaolu didn't even say a word, just closed his eyes in front of me, and lay on me weakly.

When Murong Xingye arrived, he happened to see Chief Manager Xu pull the sword out of the body of the secret guard who was protecting Lin Muyu's body. It was raised again and slashed towards Lin Muyu's throat. Murong Xingye stepped forward and snatched the sword from Manager Xu's hand, and the tip of the sword pointed at his chest.

I heard the voice of the night: "Mu Yu, close your eyes!" Mu Ran looked up, I don't know when Manager Xu has been restrained by Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye knows that I can't see the scene of killing, but Mr. Xu, I must kill!

"Help me up!" I said to Sayo.

Xiao Ye pointed a sword in one hand at Mr. Xu's chest to prevent him from playing tricks again. At the same time, he crouched down, grabbed my waist, and helped me up.

"Give me the sword!"

Xiao Ye hesitated, but still stuffed the sword into my hand, seeing that I couldn't hold it steadily, his slender big hand was on the outside of my hand, and the two of them held the sword stained with Chaolu's blood, and they used their strength together, piercing through Mr. Xu's body, pulling it out, letting the blood spray all over us, and then stabbing the sword out again.

Manager Xu, this person who is by my side, obeys my orders, and regards me as the sky, obviously has extraordinary martial arts, but always pretends to be soft and weak, and every time I am in danger, he will always skillfully protect himself, and not let anyone see the flaws. In order to wait for this opportunity to take my life, he failed, but killed Chaolu, Gu Tianba's own sister. My own sister!

There was the sound of neat footsteps outside the door, and then my father rushed in and held my already unsteady body; "Tian'er, how are you?"

"Father, Chaolu ......" I pointed to the corpse on the ground, unable to utter a word.

"Chaolu ......" the father exclaimed and fainted.

"Father!"

After the gold-faced master came back, he told me that the matter of Chaolu was personally arranged by Empress Wenzhen, that is, Gu Tianba and Chaolu's mother, and no one knew about it except for the golden-faced master. Those silver-faced secret guards still don't know that the petite female secret guard who suddenly disappeared among them is Her Royal Highness Princess Chaolu, the most honorable princess of Tianyu Kingdom.

The reason why the queen mother arranged this way was that she was afraid that one day my daughter's affairs would be discovered, and Chaolu would appear in time to help me cover it up. Just like that time I met Su Chonghua and Lin Muhan in Pinxianglou, if it weren't for Chaolu, my daughter's affairs would probably be exposed.

In order not to find out that she has been staying in the palace. Chaolu resolutely gave up the comfortable life of brocade clothes and jade food, hugging and hugging each other, mixed in the secret guard, sleeping in the open air, dressed in black, and never even took off the mask when he slept.

My father prevented me from mourning Aaro, and even kept the news of Princess Aaro's death a secret. Chaolu was buried next to the mausoleum of the queen mother, the underground tomb was simply repaired, and there was not even a stone tablet for people to pay tribute to them on the ground. There is only one purpose, in case one day my daughter's body is discovered, I can continue to use Chaolu's identity as a cover.

For a long time after Chaolu's death, I wondered if she would regret it if she knew that the person she sacrificed her life to save was no longer the real Gu Tianba. Empress Wenzhen knew how much her youngest daughter would hate me if she lost her life to save an outsider.

After Chaolu was buried, his father locked himself in the palace for several days, and he blamed himself for being in the palace all the time, but he never found out that his daughter had suffered so much since she was a child, and finally died.

I don't know how to persuade my father, because I am also blaming myself, so sad that as soon as I calm down, I will think of the lovely girl who only chirps all day long like a lark, and imagine that in countless hot and cold winters, she is in a corner of this palace, blowing in the wind and rain, without saying a word, quietly watching me.

It was precisely because of the guilt of Chaolu that one day half a year later, when Hu Yanzhuo stood in front of me and told me that he was going to take me away, I chose to refuse.

This matter has to start from the beginning. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of Chaolu's death, I received news that Xiyue had reached the capital of the Northern Desert.

Most of the residents of the Northern Desert live on nomadic herding, and the city is not like Tianyuguo, which has a strong city wall around the outside, and the city of the Northern Desert is a gathering of countless felt tents, as well as livestock sheds surrounded by hay, and shooting a rocket from a distance is a catastrophe for them. Xiyue relied on the big bed crossbow that Mo Qian made for them to shoot three hundred steps, rampage all the way, all the way to the river of blood, when every household in the Northern Desert was preparing to celebrate the New Year, with a catastrophe, the Northern Desert fell into a weeping.

Dan is, but the capital of the Northern Desert has a five-zhang city wall, and the Xiyue attack was unsuccessful, so they pretended to retreat, and when the gate of the Northern Desert Capital was opened, they pretended to be civilians and mixed into the city. The inside and outside should be combined, and the most fierce attack on the capital of the Northern Desert was launched.

The men and horses withdrawn from Tianyu in the Northern Desert, because there were many more wounded soldiers and remnants, did not rush to the outside of the city until the fall of the capital of the Northern Desert, and Hu Yanzhuo commanded with injuries, and the capital was not recovered until the end of February. After that, Hu Yanzhuo fell ill, so Hu Yanyang led his troops to pursue the fleeing remnants of Xiyue, and Hu Yanyang fought all the way to the capital of Xiyue, forcing Xiyue to cede all the territory north of the capital, and lost a lot of gold and silver, and the matter was settled.

Although the Northern Desert was the victor of this war, it lost nearly 150,000 soldiers, and countless civilians were killed. In the end, he could only freeze to death in the desolate snow, fattening packs of vicious wolves and wild dogs......

The war, which lasted for nearly half a year, made Xiyue from strong to weak, and within a few years, it was replaced by the resurgence of the Xiliang Kingdom. This war also made the Northern Desert, the strongest on the continent, recuperate for a long time afterward. In the end, he failed to return to the pre-war situation.

Only Tianyu is changing with each passing day, and at a speed unimaginable to the world, in the short period of one year that I have been here, the army has skyrocketed from 300,000 to 600,000, and the people have gone from having no clothes to eat and not enough to eat and eat two meals a day. Some of the beggars on the street were given a share of the fields, and some learned their crafts. The leaky adobe houses are also being replaced by sturdy brick houses, and the naughty children who run around the streets all day are also sitting in the school hall in a proper manner, with clean and clean little faces and hands, which makes people feel happy when they look at it.

I slept lazily that day, and it was not until noon that I got up from the bed, washed up casually, grabbed a robe and put it on my body, and went out of the room without combing my hair.

Xiao Ye asked me yesterday if I would like to go to Pinxiang Ling to try the big lobster bigger than a carp that had just been brought from the East China Sea, and I said that I don't like to eat shrimp. He also said that he would go to eat the beef of Pinxianglou, and I said that Tianyuguo strictly ordered that the cattle should not be slaughtered casually, and he also took the trouble to pass on the book of the criminal department to convict the owner of Pinxianglou. Xiao Ye hurriedly said that he would go to Pinxianglou to pack all the delicious food back, and he would not invite my old man to move in person. I nodded with satisfaction and said to the little eunuch behind me, don't bother Liang Shangshu.

In fact, I just don't want to go out, in the half a year after Chaolu left, in addition to inspecting various projects, to various secret visits, I never go out of the palace casually, in the palace, in addition to dealing with official business and sleeping, at most, I still like to lie quietly in the hammock alone, watching the snow on the treetops melt away, emerging green sprouts, new sprouts thrive, covering the scorching sun, casting a shade.

Xiao Ye often said that I was like an eighty-year-old lady who lived a boring and boring life, but I really didn't know how to make life interesting.
