Chapter 9: The Little Prince of Huai'an (4)

It was the first time Xiao Yun had seen so many dead people in his life.

The earth is full of dead people, and the earth is full of red. He blinked, looked over one by one, and did not find the shadow of the old butler for a while, but he recognized almost all of them.

There is the chief of the guard who can't laugh, the maid who makes the most delicious osmanthus cake, and the little entourage that the elder brother just found to follow him and accompany him to study and practice martial arts.

Xiao Yun wanted to count how many people there were on the ground, but he counted them back and forth several times, but they were all messed up and miscellaneous, he stood up strongly, stomped his feet in annoyance, and began to get angry with himself.

"Alas......"

Outside the courtyard gate, waiting for the sound of fighting to stop, Pan Cheng, the prince of Guan County, who was late, took the scene of the little boy's willful temper into his eyes, smiled lazily, tightened his hand stove, and suddenly felt a little boring.

"There is no one in the Qiwang Mansion ......"

He sighed sincerely, but he didn't notice that Li Bai, the leader of the Dark Guard Division who came with him, had a hint of disapproval in his eyes at this moment.

Li Bai held the sword, frowned, and looked all the way from the dead body to Xiao Yun, he wanted to ask Pan Quan: Didn't you see it? After seeing the bodies, the child stopped crying.

It was not until this moment that Li Bai felt that His Majesty's secret order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots was probably not wrong.

Retracting his thoughts, he silently sighed, leaned sideways and said, "Pan Shizi, please." ”

Pan smiled in return and walked into the court first.

When the group of 'assassins' in official clothes of the Dark Guard saw the two of them, they all restrained their expressions and saluted solemnly. Xiao Yun also looked at the two of them. He didn't seem to be angry all of a sudden, and his gaze was very quiet, as if he was carving the faces of both of them into his heart with one stroke at a time.

Pan met his eyes inadvertently, and was suddenly stunned.

- For a moment, he thought he had seen Xiao return.

"Heh......" came back to his senses, Pan Cheng laughed at himself, shook his head, and intuitively felt that he was confused.

He stepped forward and squatted down in front of Xiao Yun, not very satisfied with his face wet with tears and blood, and reached out to wipe him clean.

"Tsk...... It's like a dirty cat, it's really unpleasant! He spoke reproachfully, like a brother who disciplines his younger brother, struggled for a moment, and then reluctantly cut his love, and gave him a hot hand stove.

Xiao Yun held the stove in his hand, and he didn't speak, just kept looking at him.

Pan stood up, frowned at his gaze, and couldn't help but pull him to his side for a while, reaching out to cover his eyes.

At the other end, Li Bai asked his subordinates, "Do you understand all the dishes?" ”

The big man who had captured Xiao Yun before stepped forward to reply, first answered yes, and then said: "My lord, now there is only such a little cub left up and down the Qiwang Mansion!" You see......"

Before Li Bai could speak, there was a chuckle from the side.

"What's there to see." He put one hand on Xiao Yun's shoulder, and the other hand covered his eyes, but his mouth asked Li Bai absently: "Lord Li, do you do it, or will I come?" ”

Li Bai felt that the scene in front of him was a bit ridiculous.

He glanced at Xiao Yun again, frowned very lightly, and was about to say 'tired of the world', when the sound of heavy soldiers and heavy armor came from outside.

At first hearing this, the ease on Pan Quan's face suddenly faded, and before Li Bai and the others could react, he had already quickly pulled out his waist knife and waved his hand to slash at Xiao Yun-

In the darkness of the night, a crossbow bolt slashed through the air, striking his blade crooked.

A coldness instantly gathered in Pan Quan's eyes. He looked in the direction where the bolt had come from, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a ghostly shadow coming towards him, and before he could get his luck to fight back, he took the child in front of him away.

At this time, the shrill voice of the palace eunuch gradually approached, shouting: "The queen mother has arrivedβ€”β€”! ”

Really.

Pan's eyebrows sank, and Li Bai's face on the side changed instantly.

Pei Yaowei came dressed in a phoenix robe, followed by the guards of Changqiu Palace, and beside him, stood holding Xiao Yun's baby.

Pan Quan's gaze stopped on Xiang Ying, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips: "Near the Son of Heaven, there are not many such 'loyal' Yu Linwei!" Xiang Shizi is really a young hero, Pan Quanquan is ashamed of himself! ”

After speaking, he and Li Bai together, clasped their fists and saluted the unexpectedly arrived queen: "The ministers see the queen's mother, and the mother is happy to be ......."

Xiangying put Xiao Yun on the ground and held his hand, with no sadness or joy on his face, and he was not moved by Pan Quan's words at all. Behind Pei Yaowei, the palace eunuch who had already accompanied her put up the Taishi chair and let her sit down.

"The two Aiqing are exempt."

She looked leisurely, as if she was in her chest, as if she didn't look at the dead body in front of her at all.

"Niangniang, it's cold, this is not a place you can stay for a long time, so please ask Niangniang to drive back to the palace! Don't let Your Majesty feel uneasy! Li Bai's tone was secretly mentioned, every word fell extremely hard, and he just wanted to send the 'plague god' in front of him away.

Pei Yaowei glanced at him, then at Pan Quan, and finally, fixed his eyes on Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun also looked at her.

He felt that Sister Pei didn't seem to look as good as she used to beβ€”or rather, she was smiling too ugly today.

Pei Yaowei beckoned to him, and at a distance of three or four steps, Xiang Ying was stunned and brought him to her in front of her in one step.

"Yun'er......" She saw that Xiao Yun was still touching a hand stove in her hand, and she was stunned, "Who brought Yun'er together?" ”

Xiao Yun turned around slowly and pointed at Pan.

Pei Yao was silent and didn't say anything more. Ignoring the persuasion of the people around her, she untied the silver fox on her body and wrapped Xiao Yun tightly.

"This is Brother Changchu," she called Xiangying over, introduced Xiao Yun to him, and said, "Yun'er, go out to play with my brother for a while, and when my sister is done with this business, I will take you to eat something delicious, okay?" ”

Xiao Yun looked at her with wide eyes, nodded first, and then shook his head.

He poked out a paw from the big hole and gently tugged at Pei Yao's sleeve, "Sister Pei, is the housekeeper the same as my brother, and will not come back?" ”

Pei Yaowei slowly took a deep breath.

She looked left and right, but did not find the body of the old butler, but the scene in front of her really didn't need to ask anything.

"The housekeeper can't rest assured that your brother will serve him in the past." She smiled ugly, gently rubbed Xiao Yun's ears that were frozen red, and said: "Yun'er is a big child, more sensible and obedient than her brother, the most reassuring, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Yun looked at her silently for a long time, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and approached her.

Seeing this, Pei Yao bent over and heard him say in his ear decently: "Sister Pei, I'm not a child anymore, I know everything." ”

"My brother won't come back because he's dead," he said.

The housekeeper also died.

The guy who warmed my hands - he wanted me dead too, didn't he? ”

She maintained a slightly bent posture, and she was speechless for a long time, and tried twice before she made a sound.

"He said it doesn't count." Her voice was slightly hoarse, but her tone was very gentle: "Sister has the final say." ”

When the words landed, she looked up and looked at Pan Quan.

She said to Xiao Yun: "Sister let you live, no one wants you to die." ”

Xiangying took Xiao Yun out of the courtyard, and although Li Bai did not stop him, he immediately glanced at him and asked people to follow closely.

Pei Yao smiled indifferently, not taking it seriously.

The accompanying palace eunuch got another big coat out of nowhere, and hurriedly put it on her. On the other end, Pan Cheng looked at her and said leisurely: "There is no holy decree, naturally it is the queen mother who says what she says." His eyes lit up, and he continued: "But the secret order of the Son of Heaven is ahead, even if the mother wants to keep people, I'm afraid it will be a mayfly shaking the tree?" ”

"It's not the grasshopper that shakes the tree," she smiled lightly, and slowly told Pan Quan: "It's the jade that burns." ”

Li Bai's face changed suddenly.

She continued: "Xiao Yun's life is here, and the life of this palace is also here, you two, from this moment on, either one will not be killed, and if you want to kill, you will have two lives." The two Aiqing have weighed it up, and this palace is waiting for your answer. ”

This answer, Li Bai doesn't have to think about it here - what kind of fierce character is the queen, he hasn't seen it, so why gamble her life?

Anyway, Li Bai didn't dare.

But on the side, Pan Cheng hesitated for a moment, but smiled calmly.

"The queen mother knows Wei Chen's answer." He took a step closer, looked into her eyes, and said confidently: "You still have Princess Yecheng, you won't be willing to give it up." ”

"Yes." Pei Yaowei smiled indifferently and asked, "How sure are you, I'm not reluctant?" ”

Pan was silent for a long time.

Pei Yaowei got up slowly, approached him, suddenly remembered something, and asked in a soft voice: "Pan Shizi, the Pan family is going to send a girl to the palace." ”

This is not a question.

Pan Quan's heart moved, but he had no intention of hiding it, but said: "The queen's heart is bright." ”

Pei Yao smiled, and deserved his praise.

After a pause, she asked him with a bit of hateful doubt: "How does the prince think the emperor treats the palace?" ”

Pan Cheng smiled, "Niangniang's favorite harem is unmatched." ”

Pei Yao nodded in agreement, "King Qi died in vain, the emperor is ashamed to treat the palace, and the harem woman wants to share the favor from me, it was difficult to ascend to the sky before, and in the future, it will only be more difficult." As she spoke, she looked at him fixedly and said, "However, the prince has a chance to earn a good future for your sister - it depends on what you want to do now." ”

Pan's eyes deepened.

She asked: "Are you going to take a gamble, kill Xiao Yun, and indirectly force the palace to death, so that the emperor will be angry and angry, thinking of me, a dead man, and alienate the Pan family in the future, and even send the Pan family?"

Or do you want to sell me a favor, let me take people away, and wait for me to dig my own grave? ”

This time, Pan Cheng was silent for a long time.

It's not that this decision is difficult to make, he just thinks that the person in front of him ......

Since Xiao Huan's death, there is something about her body, which has completely changed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The mother thinks so clearly! He sighed.

Pei Yao smiled very lightly: "You are a smart person, what to do, you will only understand better than me." ”

Pan Cheng really understands.

"The queen mother threatened with her life, and the ministers took care of the phoenix body of the mother and did not dare to move. Then go back to the palace and return to your majesty. He took three steps back and bowed: "Congratulations to the queen!" ”
