Chapter 209: Striking the West (Part I)

The lost geese are cool in autumn, and the blue sea imprisons the stars and locks the silver moon. Helplessly, a few ink dyes in the evening and autumn, and the frost lamp shines on the maple alone.

People's desires are endless, they are different, and the things they want are also different.

Some people seek fame and fortune, some people seek money, some people seek power...

Xiao Nanfeng's pursuit is just to stay with his beloved... Fame, power, including money, he had it, but despite this, he didn't get what he wanted most...

Now he does not hesitate to leave behind the position of power that many people want but cannot get for what he wants most.

For Xiao Yan, he is the monarch of Daliang, above tens of thousands of people, he has everything, but there are also things he wants and can't get.

For example, the immortality that all kings have pursued since ancient times, such as ... The secret of the Soul Resurrection Pill!

Although Xiao Nanfeng had repeatedly explained to him before that the Soul Restoration Pill did not have the effect of immortality, in the face of the secret that could bring people back to life, it was an existence that had the same great temptation as being able to make people immortal.

As an emperor, Xiao Yan would never let go of such a thing.

The reason why he wanted to keep Xiao Nanfeng in Beijing was that he knew that Xiao Nanfeng didn't like to play with the powerful and didn't love the country, but he had too many ordinary people's strategies and city government. If such a person is not used by him, it will be a big hidden danger if he is released to another country.

But at the moment, the biggest hidden danger for Xiao Yan is Xiao Qingyue, he not only wants to get the secret of the Soul Restoration Pill and keep Xiao Nanfeng, but also wants to get rid of Xiao Qingyue unknowingly. He can't solve the matter by force, he can only outwit it.

Nowadays, most of the magnates in Beijing are more or less related to Xiao Nanfeng and Xiao Qingyue, such as the East Palace, the General's Mansion, the Imperial History Mansion, the Nankang Palace, and so on.

At this time, the only person Xiao Yan could think of to help him was the Yin family. On the surface, he cut off the official positions of the Yin family's father and son, just to hide people's eyes, but secretly contacted the Yin family.

Yin Jun, who had been depressed for several days, rekindled his fighting spirit again, and the relationship between him and Xiao Nanfeng was not over yet!

On the other side, the Linchuan Palace, which had been heavily guarded for a long time, suddenly withdrew its troops in the past two days, leaving only a few Praetorian Guards to guard. Xiao Nanfeng is still not allowed to go out without permission, and the people who ask to see him outside will no longer be turned away.

In the past few days, the house has been making great preparations for some happy events. The Linchuan Palaces seem to have returned to their former appearance, and exquisite utensils have been moved into the mansion.

In the study, Xiao Nanfeng was sitting at his desk staring at a painting scroll on the table, which he had painted after coming to Jiankang this month.

Under the cluster of lush osmanthus trees on the painting, there stood a woman in a pale flower dress, smiling and looking forward to it.

Looking at that glance and smiling, it's like someone who sees her...

This person had only been away for less than a day, and Xiao Nanfeng felt as if he had lost something in his heart, with thoughts and more worries. Now that Xiao Qingyue is pregnant, only a few cronies around him know, and if he doesn't move quickly, something will happen sooner or later if he goes on like this. He wanted to take advantage of the wedding day to force the palace directly, but the woman disagreed, thinking about it, he couldn't think of any good way except to rebel.

In the courtyard outside the study, people are coming in and out, with colorful lights, busy, but the people in the study have been frowning. . .

The day soon passed like this, and after nightfall, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

Today's night is as black as ink, and I can't see my fingers. At this time, the Linchuan Palace, under the busy day, has fallen into silence, only the sound of rain.

The Praetorian Guards patrolling the house are patrolling every day, although there are not as many people as before, those who remain should not be underestimated, and they are all first-class masters.

It was almost time to arrive, and at this time, I only heard a "boom", and a figure like this night climbed onto the roof of the backyard of the palace. The figure was carefully watching the movements of the Praetorian Guards in the palace while looking for something. When he saw that the lights in several rooms in the courtyard of the study were still on, the man rolled over from the roof with a "bang".

Although his martial arts are extremely high, those Praetorian Guards are not vegetarians, and this movement was discovered by the Praetorian Guards who were monitoring Xiao Nanfeng's movements nearby...

A neat and rapid sound of footsteps came this way, and the man was a little flustered when he saw this, and the lights were on in the several rooms in front of him, which room he had entered so that he would not be searched.

Just as he hesitated to choose between the two rooms, the door not far from him suddenly opened, and the man who came out of it took three steps and made a step, only to hear a "whoosh", a gust of wind passed, and the other person was quickly carried into the room...

As soon as the door was closed, a group of Praetorian Guards hurried in, and the leading guard looked at the lighted rooms.

Courageously, he commanded his subordinates, "Search every house for me!" ”

The leader of the guards who led the team had just been promoted recently, and he had only been arranged to come to the Sichuan Palace's mansion for two or three days.

At this time, one of the guards reminded in a low voice, "Boss, this is the sixth prince's library!" Let's ask the six princes first. "The sixth prince is a character who can't be provoked, if he is angry, he will have to walk around without eating.

Several other guards also stopped in place, not daring to come forward and search at will.

The leader had a little bit of toughness, and he looked like he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he encouraged. "What are you afraid of! The emperor has instructed that the movements in the palace should be closely monitored, and we are doing things for the emperor! "No matter how great the power of his sixth prince is, can he be bigger than the current emperor!

A group of guards were still hesitating, and no one dared to step forward, and the leader saw that he was the first to walk outside a room and push the door open, and then shouted.

"We are all on errands for the emperor, what are we afraid of! I'll search this room, and you search the next room! ”

Nearly a dozen Praetorian Guards listened, looked at each other for a while, and prepared to follow suit...

The three rooms connected together, the two rooms on both sides are the library in the palace, and only the middle one is the bedroom where Xiao Nanfeng usually stays for a long time.

After a dozen people searched the two study rooms, no one was found, and now only the middle room has not been searched.

It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the leader did not know where he got the courage to come directly to the door of the house, and was about to knock on the door.

The door "hula" and suddenly opened...

The man standing inside the door had a cold face, as if he was disturbed by the noise outside, and he was extremely displeased!

Except for the leading guard, the other guards saw the people standing inside the door, and they all knelt respectfully.

"Subordinates, see the six princes!"

The leading guard seemed to be a little frightened, and after a short period of panic, his legs went weak and knelt directly on the ground, and Fang Cai's hardness was long gone.

"Genus ... Subordinates meet the six princes! He never thought that he would see this rumored world's most beautiful man at such a close distance.

The man's cold eyes swept over the kneeling crowd, and then his gaze fell on the person kneeling closest to him, just now in the house, he heard their conversation outside the room clearly!

The corners of his mouth were hooked, a sneer flashed, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he asked knowingly.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night!"

When the leading guard heard this, he hurriedly replied, "Back to the prince, I heard movement in the garden below, and it seemed that someone had broken in, so I rushed over to check."

"Yes, even if you find that someone has broken in, no one has notified this king in advance!"

The leading guard replied, "The incident happened suddenly, and the subordinates haven't had time to report to the prince!" ”

When the man heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl a little wider, "Is it too late to report in the future, or... I didn't take this king seriously! ”

The tone of these words seemed calm, but it made the people who knelt on the ground and listened, and their backbones were cold.

Although the leading guard was also a little panicked in his heart, when he thought that he was assigned by the emperor to be an errand, he felt a little more lucky.

Fu Di replied, "My subordinates don't dare!" The subordinates are only on the orders of the emperor to protect the prince and ensure the safety of the palace."

At this time, Xiao Nanfeng couldn't help but squint dangerously in his dark eyes because of these words, and snorted coldly.

"Why, you're reminding this king, you're on an errand for the emperor, a little sixth prince, you don't pay attention to it at all, do you!"

"Lord forgive your sins! The subordinates don't dare! ”

"Don't dare... This king looks at you, you have just come, but you are quite bold, and without the permission of this king, you will search this king's library without permission. Even when the emperor comes here, he has to knock on the door before entering! You are a guard leading a team, you dare to be so presumptuous in front of this king! ”

Listening to these increasingly cool words, the leading guard's entire head was kneeling on the ground with his frightened head, and he no longer dared to talk about the emperor.

"The prince atoned for his sins! The prince atoned for his sins! It's because the subordinates don't understand the rules, and they also ask the prince to have a lot, bypassing the subordinates this time, the subordinates don't dare anymore. ”

The man looked away, stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at the somewhat dark courtyard, although he couldn't see the rain outside, the sound of rain in his ears was louder and louder.

After looking at it for a moment, the man said leisurely, "Not everyone who does something wrong will have a chance to do it again, since you don't understand the rules in the palace of Linchuan, this king will let people teach you... ”

Hearing this, the leading guard who was lying on the ground was already half cold in his heart, and he only heard the beautiful and cold voice come again.

"Someone!"

An order was given, and within a while, dozens of elite soldiers jumped out of the courtyard in the dark, and this battle completely shocked the dozen or so Praetorian Guards. When did so many guards come to the Linchuan Palace, they didn't know at all!

I only heard a "bang" in the rain, followed by a neat and orderly sound.

"See Master!"

The man stood with his hands in his hands, condescending, with an innate royal extravagance, and looked at the stunned few people below with contempt.

Then he ordered, "These people trespassed into the important places of the palace, and if they committed the following crimes, they will be taken down by this king!" ”

"Yes!!"

Seeing this battle, this momentum, the leading guard couldn't help but widen his eyes, and a bold guess flashed in his mind that shocked him!

Sixth Prince, is this trying to reverse?!
