At night, Nanling Palace. The bright moonlight poured faintly on the majestic Gan terrace, and Princess Jinghua sat on the mat, holding a white child in her hand, frowning, and at a loss for the chess game on the table.

Suddenly, in a bright yellow palace skirt, a woman who was nearly fifty years old but still had a bright appearance stepped slowly, leaned over and picked up a white child, which seemed to be put on the chessboard at random, but Princess Jinghua had suddenly opened up, and the university in front of her was a dead end, which had been broken.

Her eyes when she looked at the woman were full of excitement, admiration, and love, and the woman's cold phoenix eyes were also a little warmer, her expression was loving, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

The most honorable mother and daughter in the world looked at each other and smiled.

After the palace people cleaned up the chessboard, the empress asked Princess Jinghua lightly: "You went to see her?" ”

Princess Jinghua lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "Not yet." The implication is that there is no formal meeting with "her".

The empress pondered for a moment and said, "Then you have to move faster." Those sons of law have been a little restless since the days she entered the city. ”

"You stand down first."

Princess Jinghua bit her lip lightly, pinched the corners of her skirt with both hands and stood up, a faint look of worry appeared on her face, and she stopped talking, but turned around and left.

The empress looked at the bustling and lively night scene of the capital by the railing, and a sneer appeared on her lips.

The nephews of the first emperor's family were related to her by blood during the palace coup, and they were about the same age as Jinghua at that time, and they did not participate in the struggle for the throne. She didn't like them, and she didn't hate them too much, so she gave them the title and kept it for the time being to see the aftermath.

Now it seems that keeping it can only be a hindrance.

It is not entirely incorrect that the founders of many dynasties destroyed the entire royal family of the previous dynasty after taking over.

Princess Jinghua went out of the palace gate, and before she got on the sedan chair, she learned from the personal guard beside her that twenty or thirty black-clothed swordsmen were dispatched from the Shun Wangfu overnight and rushed to South Street.

The dark shadows in the dark night danced on the eaves of the roof. The reason why they are called black shadows is because they uniformly wear black night clothes, black boots, and their faces are covered with black cloth.

However, if you look closely, one of the black shadows also has a white dot.

If you take a closer look with the telescope of Ye Xiyue's previous life, you will find that it is not a white spot, but a snow-white steamed bun that has been bitten twice.

"What is the prince in such a hurry!" The black shadow holding the steamed bun took two more bites as he ran, and his tone was full of doubts.

The Shadows unanimously ignored this colleague who got up late and returned late, reversed day and night, and was nervous all day.

This person's name is Gu Changge, it is said that a year ago, the prince and the steward brought back the artist, after the prince rewarded him with a meal, he didn't look at the deed of sale on the table, and directly picked up the brush and waved the three words "Gu Changge", which made people laugh and cry.

Although this person is crazy, his martial arts are superior, and there is no one to compare with the entire dark shadow, so the prince left him until now.

A group of people arrived at the inn, opened the door, and saw the shopkeeper in a coarse cloth shirt with low eyebrows and a calculus, without raising his head and impatiently said: "Do you want to be sharp, or live in the hotel?" As soon as the shop is over, it closes on time. ”

The first person nodded to the people behind him, took the black shadows out of the inn, and then scattered and jumped onto the eaves of the second floor of the inn, breaking the window and entering.

The juniors in the lobby all looked worried, and the shopkeeper turned a blind eye to the uneven movements upstairs, and said indifferently with the account book: "Don't worry, the person they are looking for is not here." "So those staying at the hotel are safe for the time being. It's just that in this way, the reputation of the inn has been affected, and the performance is about to decline again.

Then he stretched out his hand to the handsome young man who was sitting on a table and chair that Xiao Er had just cleaned, and said, "Why is there another one?" ”

As soon as these words came out, even the shopkeepers panicked.

Gu Changge leaned over, propped up one leg on the table, thrust the sword in his hand into the floor with a "clang", and said, "Shopkeeper, so you know where the man and the woman went, right?" ”

The shopkeeper said solemnly: "If I say I don't know, won't you let me go?" ”

Gu Changge sneered, his figure flashed, and the cold light of the long sword flashed, colliding with the abacus raised by the shopkeeper!

"A small inn with such a big fish as the shopkeeper," Gu Changge's eyes were cold, and he withdrew his sword back, "It should be checked carefully." ”

He tossed the sword lightly, and the sword swam towards the shopkeeper like a dragon snake with a chilling sword wind.

The shopkeeper propped up the counter with one hand, avoided the flying sword and jumped up, and his voice also reached Gu Changge's body: "Flying Sword!" You are a child of the Gu family, why don't you follow the ancestral teachings and join the government instead? ”

Gu Changge sighed and said: "For the ancestors, it is a river and lake; But for me, it's a different story. ”

He raised a hand, stretched out his two fingers together, and with a twist, the volley sword struck the shopkeeper again.

The juniors didn't know where to flee for a long time. The shopkeeper hurried out of the inn, and the flying sword also chased after him under Gu Changge's control.

Gu Changge noticed that those black shadows had left one step ahead of him, took out the half of the cold steamed bun from his arms, took a bite, called the sword back, and sighed softly again: "Why don't you wait for me." ”

Wait a little longer, and the shopkeeper will be caught by him.

……

The shopkeeper didn't want to be caught by one young man, and he didn't want the other two young people to be caught.

He sat in a pile of firewood in the backyard, his face dirty, his coarse shirt dappled with blood, and a puddle of blood on the ground.

Ye Xiyue and Shen Nanshan naturally didn't run away before the fight started.

If you eat too much noodles, you have to eliminate your appetite.

When they walked around the city, watched the lion dance on the street, ordered a pot of tea in the teahouse and sat down for a while, went to the music shop to watch the dancers dance, and bought a mess of a lot of things, they found that the whole inn was empty, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeepers who were cleaning in the yard were gone.

Shen Nanshan touched a handful of dust on the side of the window on the second floor, sniffed it, and said, "They have been here." ”

Ye Xiyue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she clenched the white paper umbrella in her hand.

Shen Nanshan took one from the large string of heavy copper coins on his waist and clamped it between his fingers.

The door to the inn closed the moment they entered.

Now the sound of someone's footsteps approaching.

It was heavy, as if it had been seriously injured.

And not just one person.

The tight string in their hearts finally loosened a little after seeing the face of the person who came.

The pale innkeeper walked in with difficulty and sat down on a chair with the support of the little two.

Shen Nanshan noticed that the blood oozing from his clothes had coagulated.

A junior ran to the back hall to get medicine and bandages.

"Be careful," the shopkeeper gasped, "and there is a young man who wields the Flying Sword and is chasing you. ”

"Flying Sword, Gu Changge," Shen Nanshan explained to Ye Xiyue, "is a weirdo who can make flying swords." ”

Ye Xiyuexin said that there is a more strange exercise than throwing the copper money on your waist? But think about it, people in the rivers and lakes mostly use knives, guns, swords, darts and folding fans, and it is very strange for her to use umbrellas.

"We have never met the shopkeeper, so why should the shopkeeper help?" Shen Nanshan asked.

The shopkeeper took a deep look at Shen Nanshan and said, "The young man is too suspicious, and he will treat well-wishers as bad people." ”

Shen Nanshan said with a serious expression: "No good person says he is a good person. ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and pointed to the wound on his body: "Aren't these enough?" ”

Shen Nanshan shook his head: "The evidence is not enough. ”

The shopkeeper knew that he couldn't gain Shen Nanshan's trust, so he ordered the juniors to close the doors and windows tightly, and said, "I don't know why Prince Shun's shadow wants to kill you." This is certainly not true.

"But the sooner you leave the capital, the safer it will be." - The customers are all scared away, and the store will not be able to open if it continues to fight!

"It's best to change your face before you leave the city, so as not to be discovered." - That girl's face is a big danger!
