The Emperor of the Reef Country raised his head, his eyes turned slightly downward, looking at Qin Changfu who was respectful on the ground, his expression was arrogant and playful, and his voice was also cunning and playful: "Presumably, Lord Qin wants to catch water demons in my Reef Country." Do you want to work with us? But we've got enough of them. ”

Qin Changfu could see that although this emperor was cynical on the surface, he would not easily deceive the envoy of the Ming Kingdom. He thought for a moment, looked at the ground, and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to bother you, we can go to the beach to catch water demons by ourselves." ”

"However, since you want to fish by yourself, why don't you go to the sea area where there are water demons yourself, and instead come to our reef country to fish?"

"Actually, it's like this, there is a black fog around that sea, which makes it difficult to approach, and I think that maybe it can only be considered safe on the shore of the reef country."

"Hahaha, I see." The Emperor of the Reef Country laughed, "Okay, I'll allow you." With that, he flicked his long sleeves and left.

Qin Changfu looked at his back suspiciously, thinking: This emperor is really weird.

He was still anxious about what the guards had said before, what if he didn't go back to the Ming Kingdom.

Full of worries, he was taken to the dormitory by the little palace maid, and it was only after he arrived that he realized the luxury of this palace. The exaggerated décor, with rosewood pillars and a bed made of gold, and a silk curtain that is light and warm, and the light on it is like a glow. There are various fountains in the courtyard, and all kinds of domesticated birds and beasts take a leisurely stroll.

Qin Changfu could feel that this palace was better than the Listening to Rain Palace. He wondered in his heart, why the place prepared for the envoy guests was comparable to the emperor's bedroom, and even ten times more luxurious than the emperor's bedroom.

He walked suspiciously, and unconsciously came to the backyard, and when he was amazed that there was a backyard in the place where the envoy lived, the palace maid who followed him hurriedly grabbed him: "Lord Qin, don't go to the backyard." ”

Qin Changfu frowned and looked at the palace maid suspiciously: "Why can't you go?" ”

The palace maid looked at Qin Changfu's handsome appearance, coupled with those eyes that would be affectionate even if she was ruthless, she couldn't help but be ashamed, lowered her head slightly, and said softly in a low voice: "Our Majesty has an order, anyone outside the Reef Country Palace, if they live in the Reef Country Palace, they are not allowed to come to the backyard here to watch. ”

Qin Changfu was even more puzzled: "Since the backyard of this palace is so invisible, why do you want me to live in this palace?" ”

The palace maid bit her lip: "Actually, it's because of ...... There is really no place for you to stay in the palace. ”

"But doesn't your majesty have only one wife? Why is this palace so tight? ”

"Although our majesty has only one wife, he has raised many exotic beasts in the palace and let them live in the palace."

Qin Changfu was shocked, his eyes didn't blink: "It turns out that your majesty still has such a habit." ”

The palace maid sighed, probably feeling guilty for not being able to bring Qin Changfu to a more decent palace.

Qin Changfu roughly saw the palace maid's thoughts, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, girl, I can live anywhere." ”

The palace maid looked at Qin Changfu's hearty smile, and finally showed a smile. Qin Changfu took advantage of the palace maid's inattention, turned around and pushed open the back door and walked out.

The palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled him by the sleeve

, shaking his head.

Qin Changfu smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, in fact, I am also a member of your palace." Earlier today, I accidentally learned your Majesty's secret, and I had to stay in the Reef Country as a guard, and now I can't leave even if I want to. So, even if I look at the backyard, it's okay. ”

When the palace maid heard this, she nodded shyly and let go of his sleeve.

He walked into the backyard and was suddenly struck by a terrible sight that terrified him. The backyard is like another world. The weather was already cloudy, and it was in perfect harmony with the scene on the ground.

The sky shrouded in a thick gray mist spread overhead, and it was impossible to see much distance, and it was set off by the terrifying scene on the ground, like a riverbed that had dried up 10,000 years ago. At this time, there was not a single sound, bringing a trace of life to this quiet and terrible scene.

Many fat sparrows stood side by side on the ten-meter-high tower, a few were napping and looked like they were well fed, and the others were quietly scratching their bodies and looking down with sympathy from time to time.

From time to time, a few rats ran by, with nuts stolen from the palace in their mouths. They all knew that the front and side doors were guarded and guarded, and they could not enter and escape from the palace smoothly, so they chose to enter and exit through the back door. The back door is rarely cared for, and even if someone comes, it is to torture the people who are being held here.

Starting from the back door of the palace, there is a large dry grass, the fine grass is scattered on the dry ground, and the straight grass stands quietly between the heaven and the earth, no longer tough, no longer full of vitality, but looks extremely fragile, but still has a firmness that refuses to fall.

In this decayed backyard, there is a large cage made of wire, and inside the cage there is a large wine jar, as if it has been put in separately. There are layers of heat bubbling around the wine jar, which makes people feel dizzy and dry when they look at it. At first glance, however, the liquid in the jar was nothing unusual, blistering from below, bursting with a loud sound from the surface of the water.

The water surface is covered with layers of water vapor, but unlike ordinary water vapor, it also reflects strange colors on cloudy days. Such a scene makes one wonder if there may be something unusual about this clear liquid.

Inside this large cage, next to the wine jar, stood an old man, who looked like a eunuch, looking sixty or seventy years old, with his hair scattered and draped, but still wearing a hat that only the emperor's personal chief eunuch could wear.

His feet were chained and immobile, and he held a stick in both hands, stirring in the jar, and his hands were covered with calluses that looked like they had not been washed for many years. His hair and face were wet with moisture, and even the hair on his forehead stuck to his forehead. The clothes on his body were almost faded. Judging from the clothing, this old man should be the former chief eunuch.

His eyes were closed, and he seemed to be in a half-faint, half-conscious state, gasping quietly, muttering something in his mouth occasionally.

Qin Changfu was frightened, he was not afraid of fighting, he was not afraid of going to the battlefield, but he was afraid of seeing such a strange scene. Such a scene made him tremble physically and mentally, and he did not dare to take a step forward.

He swallowed, pointed to the old man, and asked the palace maid next to him, "He, he, he...... Who is he? Why are you stuck here? ”

The palace maid sighed and said: "He is also pitiful, he used to be the personal eunuch of the first emperor, and he was most valued by the first emperor, but he didn't expect that he was hated by His Majesty, who was still the prince at the time, because he helped the first emperor meet the water demon, and the prince ascended the throne."

After that, he was the first to order him to be punished. ”

"I see, you look so sympathetic, it means that you are also a kind girl." Qin Changfu said. He paused, as if suddenly thinking of something, and then exclaimed, and turned to look at the palace maid again, showing a stunned expression.

"Lord Qin, what's wrong with you?"

"I remember you saying that there are no other palaces in the palace."

"Yes."

"Is this palace I'm about to live in the last?"

"yes."

"And the backyard here is still imprisoned by the personal eunuchs of the first emperor, so this shows that this is the bedroom of the emperors of the reef country in the past!"

The palace maid nodded: "You guessed right, Lord Qin is really smart. ”

Qin Changfu almost vomited blood: "Then the water demon who was locked up is also in the secret passage?" Is it true that the cry of the water demon can be heard here every night? ”

The palace maid covered her mouth and burst out laughing, as if she was about to burst out of her eyes, and her eyes glared like a super-large version of a copper bell: "Lord Qin, you are still the most powerful person in the Ming Kingdom, and you will even believe this kind of rumor." I and several sisters have been cleaning and guarding this palace for years, and we have not heard a single cry. ”

"So, these are all rumors?"

"yes, it's all spread by those people."

"That's right." Qin Changfu nodded, "Then is it true that the water demon was locked up?" ”

"It's true, but, alas." The palace maid's expression changed to sadness and fear, and at the same time she sighed, "It's also pitiful, the water demon died after crying in the secret passage in the wall for three days and three nights, probably because of the thin air and cold and hunger, maybe it was sick or committed suicide." ”

Qin Changfu's body began to tremble slightly: "Then didn't you open the secret passage and take a look?" ”

The palace maid shook her head: "We didn't dare to look at it, so this matter was put on hold." His Majesty and the Empress did not dare to live here anymore, so they moved to another palace. ”

"Alas, it's really pitiful, and I don't know what that water demon looks like, and he can bewitch the first emperor like this."

"Well, the slave doesn't know either, it is said that it is a country and a city, turning sentient beings upside down." The palace maid fantasized, "Anyway, it's much better looking than people like us." ”

Qin Changfu remembered the water demon he saw when he first came to spit out jewels, although he was haggard and his hair was scattered, he could also see that his appearance was extremely beautiful and delicious.

The water demon I saw, and the one she let go of in Mingguo, she looked even more beautiful, and even had an indescribable temperament...... Thinking about it, Qin Changfu forgot about his existence.

"Hey, Lord Qin, what do you want?" The palace maid shouted.

Qin Changfu woke up suddenly, and Mu Ran looked at her: "It's nothing, do you know when I can catch the water demon." ”

The palace maid thought for a while: "I can probably ask Your Majesty for instructions tomorrow." Lord Qin, when you catch the water demon, you must remember that you must not be seen by them, otherwise you will be confused by them and lose yourself. ”

"Clavicle? But the clothes of our Ming country and your reef country will cover their collarbones. ”

"Even so, there will be accidents, maybe the water will splash in your neck, and you will accidentally open the collar to wipe it, and then if the water demon sees it, then you can be in danger. In short, Lord Qin, you just need to be careful. ”
