As Princess Wan Dongfang walked out, the sliding door was closed, and Zhong Liguo silently looked at the old man opposite.

I was measuring in my heart, what the hell is the old man going to do?

The old man just sat upright, not moving for a long time, and also looked at Zhong Liguo calmly.

With such a stalemate, Zhong Liguo did not have the patience to say

"Old man, why are you looking for me?"

The old man smiled humbly and said frankly

"Of course, I came to you to help you, but now, I need you to protect my daughter."

Zhong Liguo hesitated

"You, it's better to ask for another master, this job is not for me. If you can't do anything, don't waste your money. ”

The old man asked tentatively

"So, where else are you going?"

Zhong Liguo replied confidently

"I am at the gate of the city, working as a laborer, carrying a big bag, and making money every day."

The old man said earnestly

"You, that's a coolie, it's still very hard,

It's better to stay, eat and drink with me, and give you two taels of silver every month, as long as you protect my daughter. ”

Zhong Liguo saw the old man's sincerity, so he bent down and bowed

"Below, thank you for your importance, but your family is rich and rich, and wherever you go, you can find someone to protect your daughter.

Why did you choose me, I'm just a grass farmer. ”

The old man looked at Zhong Liguo with a scrutinizing eye, hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth and saying

"It's the first time I've seen you, but I've heard a lot about you, so I feel that the little girl can rest assured that she will explain it to you."

Listening to the tone of the old man's speech, with a very firm attitude, Zhong Liguo was even more puzzled.

Secretly thinking about who I've been in contact with lately. Guess who recommended themselves to this family. It's not famous to think about it.

The old man looked at Zhong Liguo and was silent, and said with a very serious face

"I am the monarch of the ancient Yan country,

I'm sitting here, I didn't let you kneel and worship, I already appreciate you very much, what's the matter, are you still standing up? ”

Hearing this, Zhong Liguo suddenly felt surprised and surprised in his heart, he quickly knelt on his knees, kowtowed, and muttered diligently

"Villain, Zhong Liguo, please great monarch, you don't care about my faux pas,

May you, spring and autumn, prosper. ”

Emperor Wan Ji is the oldest emperor of Gu Yan Kingdom, Zhong Liguo knows it, but he didn't expect to meet Emperor Wan Ji of Gu Yan Country in Damai City.

He was very puzzled in his heart, why His Majesty the Emperor of the Ancient Yan Kingdom actually changed out of the dragon robe and sat in this big house.

Thinking of these strange situations, Zhong Liguo made up his mind and decided to stay behind to protect the princess's safety, and at the same time take on errands, to see what bad things happened.

He never saw a guard with a sword hanging on his waist appear, and he vaguely felt that Emperor Wanyi might have been expelled from the Guyan Kingdom.

With a question mark in his stomach, Zhong Liguo was very active and kowtowed, and said modestly

"Your Majesty, thank you for your respect for me.

In order to protect the safety of the princess, I am willing to do whatever it takes."

Emperor Wanyu squinted at Zhong Liguo, and thought, if I hadn't taken the initiative to reveal my identity, you wouldn't have agreed.

But at present, there is no other way, only to use you helplessly, the power from Peacock City. Sooner or later, when I return to the throne of Guyan Kingdom, I will definitely send you away.

Emperor Wan Yu reluctantly straightened his waist, forced a smile on his face, and agreed

"Stand down, be on an errand, kneel down!"

A mechanical creaking sound came into the ears of Zhong Liguo, who was kneeling and kowtowing. Driven by curiosity.

Zhong Liguo boldly raised his head and looked in the direction of Emperor Wanji, but the special device of the Taishi chair slowly moved and rotated.

Emperor Wan Yu in the chair also turned around, his back to Zhong Liguo.

The chair stretched forward and moved forward automatically, and the two sliding doors that had just been opened at the end also closed automatically, leaving Zhong Liguo in the remaining half of the room.

Seeing that there was no one else, and then came to greet himself, Zhong Liguo took the initiative to get up, opened the only small sliding door he saw, and walked out to the big pond before.

He looked around tentatively, and found that the house was located in a very remote location, and he could not hear any noisy carriages outside, only the sound of birds. The yard was clean, there was no other place to see it except that big pond, a straight gravel path. Zhong Liguo walked along.

What appeared in front of me was a row of green bricks, low eaves and tiled houses with white walls. He was just about to step into an open door on the west hill of Wafang.

"Ahem, ahem." A few vigorous coughs sounded behind Zhong Liguo. He looked back mysteriously.

A woman, who was in her twenties or thirties, gestured at him anxiously, suggesting that he should not go into the door.

Zhong Liguo looked at the woman with a sullen expression, and the woman walked up to him, pulled one of Zhong Liguo's sleeves, and was about to speed up and walk away.

Silently followed the woman, walking around the row of short white-walled tiled houses.

Zhong Liguo asked simply

"Girl, where are you taking me?"

The woman just bowed her head and smiled shyly, without an echo, as if she didn't want to speak.

Blindly being pulled by his sleeves and walking forward, Zhong Liguo was a little impatient, and said urgently

"You let go of my sleeve. I ask you. ”

The woman didn't seem to understand Zhong Liguo's words, but she kept pulling one of his sleeves tightly, and walked forward on her own.

Zhong Liguo had no choice but to be silent, working overtime with his heels and following along.

Soon the woman pulled him and walked into the small backyard, where there were two ordinary simple thatched houses.

The woman saw an old table in the courtyard, and went up to pick up a piece of stone chalk on the table.

On that table, start writing some handwriting.

Zhong Liguo looked at the handwriting carefully and understood what was going on. The woman's very delicate pen style slowly wrote

"I am, the palace maid of the ancient Yan Kingdom, and I fled here with His Majesty the Emperor of Wanyi.

In order to protect the princess, I was forced to drink it, dumb soup, and all the antidotes were in the ancient Yan country, so I couldn't speak.

There are two rooms here, which is your dwelling, and I will come and tell you every day what to do, and when I don't call you, you stay in this courtyard.

In the dormitory, don't walk around, don't ask for any news, and don't have contact with outsiders.

Pretend that you have not heard what you hear, and pretend that you have not seen what you have seen.

Do you understand?

I will supervise you very carefully, and I will come anytime in the future. ”

After the woman finished writing, she dropped the stone chalk and looked at Zhong Liguo with very gentle eyes, Zhong Liguo didn't say anything, so she had to keep nodding her head.

The woman also nodded seriously, indicating that she promised to promise each other, and finally left in a hurry without looking at Zhong Liguo more.

At night, everything was quiet, except for the owl squatting on the branch, turning its head cunningly and looking out on all sides.

Zhong Liguo, dressed in a black corset, appeared by the pond in the front yard, quietly squatting in a pile of dense flowers,

Prick up your ears and listen carefully, in the big room in front of the pond, two men and women talking.

The woman said anxiously

"Your Majesty, you are still the most important thing in your body."

The man replied

"Then do you want me to die in a foreign land? Confused. Incomprehensible fool. ”

The woman said in a much softer tone

"Your Majesty, you want to ask soldiers to kill the prince, this is a very difficult matter, it is not cut off in three days and two days."

The man cursed loudly

"If the rebel son is not removed, it will be difficult for me to be ancient, how to see the ancestors and ancestors."

The woman actively picked up the conversation and said bluntly

"Your Majesty, you haven't abdicated yet, it's not that you don't have room for maneuver. Can't you just take a step back? ”

At this time, there was a burst of broken teacups in the house, the sound of tea bowls, and a woman outside the house suddenly appeared like a ghost, and the woman slowly opened the door and walked in with her dress in it.

Zhong Liguo could see clearly that the wooden floor of the big room was full of fragments of tea bowls and broken tiles of white porcelain, flickering with bright light.

Standing in the dark shadow in the corner of the room was the middle-aged woman who met during the day, and the woman who walked in was the dumb girl who pulled Zhong Liguo.

Emperor Wan Ji sat in the Taishi chair, with an angry face and a grim face, staring at another young woman standing in the middle of the room.

Zhong Liguo saw it clearly, and at the same time, his heart hung up, and he remembered that this woman killed him, it was none other than the Shura Red Flower of Peacock City.

Holding his breath, Zhong Liguo hid his body more carefully, his face almost touching the ground, listening intently to the conversation coming from there.

Honghua was very alert, looking at the sparse porcelain pieces that had been sprinkled on the wooden floor at his feet.

Said in a sincere tone

"Your Majesty, your current body is really useless,

A gentleman doesn't do things in a hurry, does he? ”

Emperor Wanyu darkened his face even more, his eyes were angry, and he looked at the red flower, as if he had the heart to eat her in front of him in one bite.

Honghua thought for a moment, and said calmly with a slight change in her face

"Your Majesty, the great hero of Jianye, is your brother, but after all, he thought that he was an ancient man and drove the crane west, which is a fact.

Do you have to force your own nephews and nephews to kill the ancient capital like this, and you can't kill each other. ”

Emperor Wan Ji looked at it angrily, the warmth on his face full of red flowers, and the clever words in his mouth, he was so angry that he couldn't stop shaking, and he grabbed the handle of the Taishi chair with one hand, and tried desperately to control his emotions.

Honghua didn't have any pity at all, and the old man's mind in front of him lost no time in increasing his verbal attacks.

She stepped back a little and said loudly

"In all dynasties, the crown prince was promulgated to succeed to the throne, why do you need to use force to cause chaos in the world."

Emperor Wan Ji silently stabilized his posture, took a breath, and said in a trembling voice

"Thou, thou there is come, comfort me,

Didn't you have an affair with that rebel son a long time ago,

You, you scourge, have done such an unconscionable thing. ”

Honghua's eyes were filled with the joy of victory, and the corners of her mouth cracked proudly, and she laughed uncontrollably.
