The early summer night is slightly cool.

The humidity in the woodland is stronger, so bonfires are lit when everyone rests.

It was probably known that there was no threat from the team, everyone relaxed and slept more soundly, especially Tang Liuliang was still snoring softly.

Tang Xiao didn't sleep, but some fierce beast appeared in the woodland, so he sat by the campfire and kept vigil, occasionally adding firewood.

Mu Junwu jumped down from the branch where he was resting and walked to Tang Xiao's side: "It's time for you to rest." ”

Tang Xiao got up, Mu Junwu sat down, Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment and sat next to Mu Junwu, Mu Junwu glanced at him.

"The matter of the grave of life and death is a secret that has not been passed on by the masters of the Tang Sect in the past dynasties, and my grandmother has repeatedly warned me not to tell anyone, I hope you can ......"

"You don't have to explain, it's all in the past." Mu Junwu looked at Tang Xiao: "However, why would Tang Feiyan know?" ”

Tang Xiao sighed: "There is a force behind the family business room and the phoenix pheasant room. ”

"What power?"

Tang Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, grandma said that only when I become the master of the sect, she will tell me everything, I only know now that they have always wanted to split the Tang Sect." ”

Mu Junwu frowned: "Then it seems that grandma's side is no longer safe." ”

"That's right, when I go back this time, I will remind my grandma to investigate thoroughly."

Mu Junwu didn't speak again, he just stared at the bonfire silently, his eyes were cold.

Tang Xiao glanced at him, and stopped talking.

……

In the dormitory of the Chu Palace, except for the occasional low snoring of Ma Xi's voice, there was only silence.

The lights and candles flickered, and a man dressed in night clothes slipped off the pillar of the dormitory and landed silently.

With his face covered, he walked straight toward the bed tent in the temple.

At this moment, Ma Xisheng was sleeping soundly, and he was still holding a tooth box containing crickets in his hand.

The man in black reached out and knocked on Ma Xisheng's shoulder, Ma Xisheng's body paused, turned half of his body and woke up, glaring, and at this time the man in black had covered Ma Xisheng's mouth.

"Shhhh

As he spoke, he shook a token in front of Ma Xisheng's eyes with his other hand, and the fear in Ma Xisheng's eyes disappeared immediately.

The man in black let go of Ma Xisheng's mouth, Ma Xisheng sat up unhurriedly and yawned, and asked in a low voice with some impatience: "In the middle of the night, what is the matter?" ”

"The master wants you to paint a portrait of the king with your own hands."

When Ma Xi heard this, his eyes widened in surprise: "Why are you painting him?" Isn't he already dead? ”

"It's hard to say, the master suspects that he is hiding somewhere in Shudi, so you need to draw it yourself and confirm it."

Ma Xisheng nodded and said, "That's it, then I'll paint it tomorrow!" ”

"I'll call someone to pick it up tomorrow." After the man in black finished speaking, he turned to leave, and Ma Xisheng looked at him ghostly like a cat, dexterous as a mouse, and then fell back to the bed.

He closed his eyes and continued to sleep, but he tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep soundly.

I don't know how long he was confused, but in a hazy way, he found himself sitting in the hall of diligence, with the cricket cage he liked in his hand.

"Okay, you just have to remember those two sentences." Someone around him was talking to him, and he turned his head to see the immature face of his fourth brother Ma Xifan, and the two-line paper on his desk.

Immediately, he became excited: "With you to help me study, my father won't be able to test me." ”

The fourth brother had a worried face at this time: "However, this is not what you learned by reading by yourself, you can only cope with it for a while, what should you do if you forget it when you turn around?" ”

"I'll ask you if I forget, anyway, you remember the books you've read so clearly." He didn't care.

"But you're going to be a king in the future......"

"You don't know that, do you? When you are a king, you don't need to remember it yourself, you see how many ministers your father has under him! You, too, are my minister, so you can help me remember it. ”

"Okay, then I'll help you remember."

He smiled and patted the fourth brother's shoulder: "You take care of yourself, in the future, I will reward you with all kinds of delicious and fun food." ”

"No, I'm your brother, I should help you." The fourth brother smiled at him, and his handsome face was very good-looking.

"That's right! Good brother......" Before he finished speaking, the fourth brother's good-looking face actually began to bleed.

He was frightened and asked eagerly, "You, what's wrong with you?" Why is your face bleeding. ”

"Ask you!" The fourth brother stared at him: "Didn't you say a good brother?" Then why did you kill me? Why! ”

He shuddered: "Because ...... Because you are too powerful, and I am the king, your existence will ...... Threaten my kingship! ”

"But I'm gone, I've quit, how can I threaten your royal power?"

In the face of questioning, he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, and the soles of his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and he couldn't stand softly.

At this time, the fourth brother with a bloody face pressed towards him step by step: "You are a liar!" You deceived me, I'm going to kill you! Kill you......"

The fourth brother's hands grabbed his neck......

At that moment, he seemed to see his own dead face with his eyes and tongue sharpened......

"Ahh Ma Xi, who was asleep, sat up with a loud scream, and found that his neck and forehead were covered with sweat when he gasped.

"King, what's wrong with you......" The little eunuch who was keeping vigil heard the sound and quickly ran to him, but was so frightened by Ma Xi's loud shout of the word "roll" that he crawled out.

Mahi gasped, panicked, his fingers trembling.

A few seconds later, as if he was lost, he grabbed his cloak and put it on his body, rushed out of the palace, and went straight to the palace of Concubine De.

At this moment, Concubine Yuan Defei did not rest.

The veil was half-hanging, and she leaned against the head of the bed, holding a small old hair bag in her hand, and touched the handful of hair from time to time with a fugue expression.

Outside the hall, there was a chaotic sound of squabbling, followed by Danqing's stunned and surprised voice, "King? Concubine Yuan Defei's fugue disappeared suddenly, and she quickly put away her hair bag and stuffed it back into her close-fitting clothes.

"King, why are you here at this time?"

"Get out of the way, I'm looking for my mother."

"But mother, she has already slept......"

"Danqing!" Concubine Yuan De said in a loud voice: "Please come in, the king!" ”

Concubine Yuan quickly got out of bed, put on a big-sleeved shirt and walked to the outer room, at this time Ma Xisheng had already entered and sat on the soft collapse.

Concubine Yuan Defei glanced at his appearance of bowing and holding her elbows, and waved her hand at Danqing, who greeted everyone at the entrance of the hall knowingly.

A cup of hot water was placed on several cases beside Ma Xisheng, and Concubine Yuan Defei sat beside him and said softly: "Have a nightmare again?" ”

Ma Xisheng tilted his body when he heard this, and directly lay on Concubine Yuan De's lap.

Concubine Yuan Defei's body stiffened for a moment, her hands were on her hands, and after two seconds, she slowly put it down, combing her fingers through Ma Xisheng's scattered hair.

The room was quiet, and Concubine Yuan did not take the initiative to ask.

After a while, Ma Xi whispered, "I dreamed of the treasure rules. ”
