The summer weather is rare to have such a 'cloudy' and cool time as today, there is no sun, and there are occasional wisps of cool breeze, which is a suitable weather for travel.

The second prince Jing Qian had already 'made' a luxurious painting boat and docked at the edge of Qushui Linlang Lake, which was closest to the direction of the 'gate' of the courtyard of 'Hua' Jiu, so when 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao stepped out of the 'gate' of the courtyard, they saw the second prince shaking the 'jade' bone fan 'jade' tree and standing at the end of the painting boat and looking at them.

'Hua' Jiu raised her small and pointed chin, and 'revealed' a subtle smile towards the second prince, and then came out behind her Zhuyue and Xingyun.

Before he got on the painting boat, the second prince said loudly, "It seems that the sky is beautiful today, and there is not even the sun in the partiality, so I must know the reason why Mrs. was invited." ”

'Hua' Jiu was supported by Xi Zixiao and stepped on the painting boat, "Where, if you want the 'Hua' clan to say, it must be because the second prince is deeply blessed." ”

The three of them entered the boat, and the second prince did not prepare for singing and dancing, he only sent people to put three tables in the painting boat, and a qin Ji played the piano in the corner.

'Hua' Jiu's eyes swept vaguely, and even the entourage of the second prince in the entire painting boat was only ten people, excluding the boatman, Qin Ji and the like, the 'attendant' guards with big swords at their waists were only six or seven people.

This kind of low-key pomp, it is hard to imagine that a prince will have, 'Hua' Jiuxin secretly woke up, and after a while, he painted the boat into the lake, and there were quite a lot of variables.

'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao were next to each other and had a desk, and the second prince was opposite the two, and there was some food and wine on the desk.

After the second prince sat down, he didn't say anything else, just looked at Xi Zixiao for a while, and then said with a deep smile, "Madame's husband, everyone in the world thinks that he is the descendant of the declining merchants, but how does this palace feel that it looks like a person?" ”

"Oh?" 'Hua' Jiu's slender eyebrows raised, and she also pretended to be curious to glance at Xi Zixiao.

"Master Wuhua's 'door' - Banxuan," the second prince said suddenly, "Seventh Prince Xi, what this palace said is right?" ”

Xi Zixiao was still expressionless, and he couldn't even see the slightest hint of surprise in his eyes, "Second prince, good eyesight." ”

Hearing Xi Zixiao's admission, the second prince lowered his head slightly and laughed lowly, "Should the palace call you Master Banxuan or the Seventh Prince of Xi?" ”

Xi Zixiao turned the white 'jade' wine cup between his fingers, and a faint dark light flowed through the end of the phoenix's eyes, "Happy with the second prince." ”

The second prince's eyes fell on the 'flower' nine again, "The so-called husband sings 'woman', no wonder the lady even abandoned her own family and switched to the sixth brother of the palace." ”

"Thank you for your understanding," 'Hua' Jiu was not ambiguous, she continued with a light smile, "'Hua' lost her mother since she was a child, and her father didn't hurt her at home, and her stepmother didn't love it. ”

How can the 'girl' next to her say such a shameful thing as 'Hua' Jiu, that is, 'Hua' Jiu, she still has a serious expression on her little face, so that people can't give birth to other serious thoughts after listening to it.

The second prince laughed, "That's what I said." ”

He took a sip of the wine in the wine cup and said, "The wind is cool today, and the scenery in the middle of the lake is really good." ”

Just these few words, the painting boat has been dangling to the center of the Qushui Linlang Lake, the clear water and blue sky, the lake breeze is leisurely, even the light gauze curtain hanging down the painting boat is blown up a bewitching arc, the sound of the piano is misty, the wine is current, people enjoy it very much.

"I don't know what conditions the sixth brother of this palace gave to Master Banxuan?" After a long time, the second prince spoke.

The fingertips on the knees of the 'flower' Jiu were slightly bent, and this was the ultimate goal that couldn't help but start today?

Xi Zixiao really thought about it for a while before replying, "There are no conditions, the grace of knowing the encounter." ”

"Oh, I see," the second prince was not surprised, he put down the white 'jade' wine cup in his hand, and sighed, "The sixth brother is really lucky, this palace is really jealous, but Rong this palace reminds Master Banxuan......"

Speaking of this, the second prince Jing Qian glanced at 'Hua' Jiu in a strange way, "It's still half a month, the sixth brother has returned to Beijing, you know, the heavenly family has a tradition, and each generation must produce one." ”

These words made 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao look at each other, and even Xi Zixiao's eyebrows wrinkled with a fine texture.

The second prince's eyes lit up, he looked at 'Hua' Jiu, his lips lifted lightly, and he spit out a shocking secret, "Robbing other people's wives!" ”

The nine eyes of the 'flower' were 'colored', and the cold on Xi Zixiao's body instantly worsened.

The effect of this sentence was achieved, the second prince laughed happily, he leaned back, and there was a clever squatting of the entourage, so that the second prince's back was more comfortable, "This is the secret of the royal family, what you know is probably the matter of the first emperor Yong and the princess's mother, don't you know, the father of the palace also did this, so Mr. Banxuan, your wife is very easy to be 'fascinated'......"

The rest of the words, he didn't finish, but they didn't speak.

'Hua' Jiu tilted her head, and saw that Xi Zixiao's half-hidden hand under the sleeve was clenched into a fist at some point, she reached over, and her fingertips slid lightly on the back of his hand.

Xi Zixiao's stiff back loosened, he looked at the second prince, his obsidian eyes were deep and terrifying, "Second prince, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

The second prince Jing Qian is waiting for Xi Zixiao's words, and Da Yin has always married a 'female' son to take her husband as the sky, so as long as he loosens Xi Zixiao today, the 'flower' will naturally no longer be a problem.

He said, "Master Banxuan come to the palace, the palace can make an oath to you today, and if he fulfills the wish of the palace in the future, he will promise you a lifetime of peace and glory for your husband and wife." ”

It's a very 'tempting' condition, but it's just an empty white slip.

'Hua' Jiu sneered, "Second prince, you can't help but underestimate our husband and wife, you say a baseless oath, you want people to work for you, this business is very profitable, and after he is established, the world is your heavenly family, if you want people to live and die, you don't have to open your mouth, you have a lot of people to do it for you, so where is the peace of life?" ”

When the words fell, the second prince was not only not angry, but the smile on his face was even stronger, and his eyes looked at 'Hua' Jiu with unconcealed appreciation, "Madam, I really have a delicate heart, and even the palace is moved." ”

There is a meaning of frivolity in the words, but when the second prince says it, who dares to take him as a disciple.

'Hua' Jiu Yingying said with a smile, "The posture of the 'Hua' clan can enter the eyes of the second prince, and the 'Hua' clan is honored." ”

When the words that want to stab the 'excited' crowd are generously accepted, and it is regarded as a compliment, it is like you raise your feet and are ready to step on the stairs, but you don't think about it, but the place where you put your feet is completely flat, so you fall hard.

At least the second prince felt like this, but he didn't show it on his face, and even motioned for his entourage to fill him with wine.

For a long time, the three of them didn't speak, only listening to the sound of the piano playing endlessly in the whole painting boat, 'Hua' Jiu thought about the heavenly tradition that the second prince said just now, and she felt a little irritable in her heart.

This kind of thing, the second prince doesn't need to lie to them, so most of it is true, if this is the case, then after King Min returns to Beijing, Xi Zixiao will be very dangerous.

She remembered the death of Xi Zixiao in her previous life, she knew too few clues, and she didn't know why King Min wanted to kill Xi Zixiao, after all, at that time, she didn't have the 'jade' formula at all, and the relationship with Xi Zixiao was not like now, it stands to reason that it would definitely not be because King Min had a covetous mind for her.

Therefore, King Min wants to kill Zixiao, and it has nothing to do with her reason at all, at least she will not be the main reason.

But when she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what the key was.

"It's going to rain." After a while, the second prince said quietly.

'Hua' Jiu moved his gaze to the outside of the painting boat, and sure enough, the blue sky was clear in the morning, which would have been 'gloomy' and sunk, and as soon as the second prince's words fell, within a quarter of an hour, the raindrops of beans fell with a crackle.

"Second prince, the sky is very dark, and the 'Hua' clan and the husband should go back." 'Hua' Jiu slowly got up, her eyelids drooping, and she couldn't see her expression.

The second prince raised his head, and there was a shallow smile on his lips, and he put down the wine cup, "What if you can't go back?" ”

As soon as his words fell, without waiting for 'Hua' Jiu to understand what it meant, the entourage behind him suddenly stepped out and hugged the second prince and quickly retreated, standing on the side of the boat, and the second prince 'revealed' a strange smile towards 'Hua' Jiu and Xi Zixiao, and then jumped off the painting boat with the entourage.

Xi Zixiao's reaction was not unpleasant, and when the second prince made a move, he rushed over, but only halfway through, dozens of black-clothed dead soldiers appeared from the lake, each holding a long iron chain in his hand.

stopped again and again, and when Xi Zixiao ran to the side of the boat, he could only watch the second prince sit on the boat with the help of the entourage, and gradually moved away from the center of the lake.

'Hua' Jiu's side, protected by the moon and Xingyun, was not in danger for a while, but soon, the entire painting boat began to sink.

As soon as Hua Jiu glanced at the bottom of the lake, he saw countless ghost-like black 'colored' water ghost shadows destroying at the bottom of the painting boat, and the entire painting boat was about to sink when he saw it.

When the painting boat sank and fell into the water, the few of them were only slaughtered by the water ghost, regardless of Xi Zixiao's skills, there were always obstacles in the water, and it was obviously quite difficult to protect the 'flower' nine intact.

The nine eyes of the 'flower' flashed, and she picked up the long iron chain that fell after the water ghost was killed on the painting boat, stuffed it into Xi Zixiao's hand, and said fiercely, "Take the second prince." ”

Xi Zixiao also knew that 'Hua' Jiu's proposal was the most correct, he blocked the attack for 'Hua' Jiu with a sword, stared at 'Hua' Jiu, and then hugged her and kissed her tyrannically, "Wait for me." ”

After he finished speaking, he stuffed the soft sword into the hand of the 'flower' nine, picked up the long iron chain, and with the internal force of luck, he stepped on the water ghost that emerged from the water like an arrow off the string, his long arms were extended, his clothes were agitated, like a big bird flying, a little water in the lake in the rain, a few ups and downs, and he quickly pursued the second prince, and the dead soldiers who blocked him could not stop him at all.

'Hua' nine eyes were sharp, she stood on the painting boat board that was about to sink, and clearly saw the second prince's face with anger and a little frightened, he seemed to underestimate Xi Zixiao's ability.

'Hua' Jiu doesn't know how to punch or kick, with Zhuyue and Xingyun by her side, and she also has sharp weapons in her hands, so it's not a big deal, but the painting boat has no place to stand anymore, and there is a cold lake flooding her feet.

Underwater, the second prince arranged countless water ghosts and dead soldiers who could swim in the water, these dead soldiers were as agile as swimming fish, which was very unfavorable to Xingyun and Zhuyue, and finally got a gap, and a water ghost dived to the feet of 'Hua' Jiu, and his cold hand wrapped around her ankles like a water weed that took people's lives.

Coming vigorously, 'Hua' Jiu heard the exclamation of the moon, she blinked, and saw that Xi Zixiao had already been entangled with the second prince's entourage, and then, she was dragged into the water, as far as the eye could see, in all directions, there were black shadows of water ghosts.

She could only hold on to Xi Zixiao's soft sword and not let go.
