When he arrived at the palace, Tianyou knew that the reason why King Chu moved so fast was mainly because Ji Yao had returned.

Tianyou, who had no preparation, was directly sent outside the study of the King of Chu. The Chixiao guard at the door had obviously received an order, and when he saw the two colleagues and Tianyou coming back, he didn't stop him, and knocked on the door twice to remind the people inside and opened the door directly to let Tianyou in. Of course, only Tianyou entered, and Qi Xiaomei didn't follow them at all, and they were still in the house outside.

Tianyou, who was still a little confused, walked into the study like this.

Of course, the study of the king of Chu cannot be the same as the study of ordinary people. It feels like all the living places of the King of Chu are independent halls, and this study is also a big hall, and it seems to be larger than the sleeping hall.

The first thing you see when you enter the door is the desk facing the door, behind which is a simple and atmospheric purple gold carved dragon chair, with palace lamps, incense burners and a semicircle of three-sided treasure pavilions on both sides, plus a weapon rack with a sheathed sword on it.

After observing the circle but not seeing anyone, Tianyou had some doubts in his heart, but soon noticed that there was a voice in the side room on the left. Just as he turned his head to look, Ji Yao's voice sounded inside at the right time.

"God bless, come here. ”

Following the sound to the small door with the curtain hanging, he paused in front of the curtain for a while, Tianyou thought about it and said "I'm in" first, and then opened the curtain and walked in.

The curtain of the door was lifted, and the scene inside was imprinted. Sure enough, King Chu's room at least started with 100 square meters. Look at the furnishings, this should be the place where the king of Chu took a break when he was tired from reading and reading books on weekdays. There are a total of three soft couches in the room, and the one facing the door is the most luxurious, not to mention the gold and jade, and there is a faint aura that leaks out, which is obviously a treasure.

The king of Chu and a middle-aged and elderly woman who may have been the empress sat on this soft couch, but there was a low desk in the middle. However, Ji Yao was sitting next to the King of Chu, next to him.

There are two slightly simpler soft couches in the lower hand position of this luxury soft couch, but they are only normal in terms of size, and the degree of luxury is by no means available in ordinary places. Of course, the most important thing is that there is also spiritual power leaking on these two soft couches, and Tianyou can even faintly see the shining spiritual power lines flowing inside the soft couch.

At this time, there were also people sitting on these two soft couches. On the left hand side with their backs to the window are two graceful and luxurious women, one yellow and one green, who look like they are all first-class, but the one in the yellow shirt lacks some spiritual beauty, and is obviously just a mortal, and Ji Yao can't be compared with Ben. It was the one in Tsing Yi that made Tianyou look at it twice, and he could faintly feel that this one was also with cultivation, but the level was not high.

There were also two men sitting on the soft couch on Tianyou's right, but unlike the two casual women, both of them had only half of their butts on the edge of the soft couch, as if they were ready to stand up at any time.

In addition to these three soft couches, there are only some books and shelves placed against the wall in the room, but I didn't see anyone, thinking that I was specially rushed out to arrange this meeting.

Tianyou came in to look at everyone, and the people inside were naturally also looking at Tianyou. The biggest reaction was the male official on the right closest to the door, who was still a military general. Tianyou could feel the familiar fluctuations from him, and after a careful sense, he immediately understood, this was the one who was knocked out of the magic weapon.

The two women on the other side were obviously a little inexplicable, and they couldn't understand what the king was doing when he called a guard in. The strangest thing is that they seem to have been called here to meet this person specifically.

A room full of people are looking at Tianyou, but Tianyou has nothing uncomfortable. After all, he was not a native of the Shenzhou Continent, and he couldn't feel the power that that his status brings. Of course, if it was an immortal boss like Zhenyuan Shangxian, he would definitely still pay attention, after all, the prestige of people is not given by status, but real.

Although Ji Yao called Tianyou in, he didn't speak, and the King of Chu also deliberately held back his voice, but observed Tianyou's reaction. Seeing that he still didn't have half a minute of stage fright under the watchful eye of everyone, he opened his mouth with satisfaction.

King Chu did not explain Tianyou's identity to everyone first, but first introduced Tianyou to a few people in the room.

The one who shared the soft couch with the king of Chu was indeed the queen, although she looked many years older than the king of Chu, but this was indeed the queen of the king of Chu, but I don't know why the king of Chu introduced her very briefly, and she brought it over in one sentence.

The two on the soft couch on the right hand side of the King of Chu are the concubines of the King of Chu.

The one in the yellow shirt is Mrs. 郢 (yǐng), or you can also call Concubine Ying. This Yingdu is not a name or a surname, but a title, corresponding to her fiefdom Yingdu. It looks a little older, but it's still in the prime of life. The figure is not very obvious when he sits or something, and it feels like it should be a plump type, but a baby face is extremely beautiful, but there is always a trace of suppressed dissatisfaction in his eyes, which makes Tianyou feel a little confused.

The title of the green shirt is Mrs. Yan (yān), but unlike Mrs. Ying, she is surnamed Yan, and her fief also happens to be Yancheng. Tianyou suspected that it was because of her surname Yan, so the king of Chu took the opportunity to seal her the title of Mrs. Yan.

Unlike Madame Ying, who is completely an ordinary person, this Madame Yan has very obvious traces of spiritual power on her body, and she feels that she should be a monk, but the fluctuations are very hidden, and she thinks that she has suppressed the leakage of her spiritual power in some special way. However, this trick is useless against Tianyou, and it can even be seen by Tianyou at a glance about the approximate level. It can be determined that her cultivation is far lower than Ji Yao, and even inferior to King Chu, but it is slightly higher than Tianyou.

I don't know if it's the impact of cultivation or if it's really young, this Mrs. Yan looks like she's just past the age of jasper. If it's placed on the earth, you can easily blend into middle school students by changing into school uniforms, and you'll be a proper invincible beautiful girl. It's just completely different from Mrs. Ying, who has too high sugar content and is a little greasy, this one is dressed in green, and her sense of presence is very weak. It is this palatial house that reflects her characteristics, if it is replaced by a bamboo forest, God blesses her to fully blend into the background as long as she stands still.

Opposite the two ladies sat two men, and even without looking at their clothes, they could guess that they must not be idle figures.

The Tianyou who was close to the door had noticed it before, after all, it was considered to have been a fight. According to the introduction of the King of Chu, this is the Wei General Wei Chi Gong, the commander-in-chief of the entire Imperial Forest Army, responsible for the security and defense of the entire royal city, and is one of the most trusted people of the King of Chu.

On Wei Chigong's side, closer to the King of Chu was a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing. Looking at the dress, he should be a civil official, his appearance is not rough, and he is a little handsome, but for some reason he always gives people a feeling of a martial artist, anyway, he is very majestic, even more than the momentum of the King of Chu.

According to the introduction of the King of Chu, this middle-aged man who looks very imposing is called Qu Yuan. Of course it won't be the one on Earth, but it's really exactly the same name and surname.

is not the same as the bitter man on the earth, this Qu Yuan is the key cultivation object of the generation of the Qu clan of the Chu Diwang clan, and his current position is also Mo Ao of the Chu State. This position is unique to the Chu State, and it has no specific responsibilities, to talk about functions...... is a bit similar to Ling Yin's reserves, and Ling Yin's position is equivalent to the prime minister, Xiangguo, etc., and belongs to the largest official under the king.

However, although Mo Ao is Ling Yin's reserve, he is not Ling Yin's deputy. The nature of his work is more like that of a minister with a sword from Shang Fang, who can exercise royal power on behalf of the king anytime and anywhere. In modern times, it is a bit like a secretary next to the top leaders of various departments, on the one hand, to help the top leaders deal with government affairs and provide reference opinions, and on the other hand, they are also responsible for operating certain affairs on their behalf.

Therefore, although Mo Ao is not the biggest official in the Chu State, he is one of the most trusted people in the King of Chu. Together with General Wei, who is responsible for taking care of the safety of his whole family, he is one scholar and one martial artist, and he just happens to become the right-hand man of the king of Chu.

Several women are the wives of the king of Chu, and the remaining two officials are all cronies of the king of Chu, and this meeting looks like there are not many people but it is extremely important, because this is the meeting of the closest people in the interest group of the king of Chu, which determines the internal relationship in the future. Of course, even if it is an insider, there are differences in weight, but at present, Tianyou does not know much about them, and he doesn't know who is heavier and who is lighter for the time being.

After introducing everyone present, the king of Chu turned to introduce Tianyou to the others. However, the king of Chu did not directly say, "This is my son", but asked the others first, "Do you remember the night attack seventeen years ago?"

As the person in charge of the security of the royal city, Wei Chigong bore the brunt of the attack and asked, "The night attack that the king said about Princess Ji Yao's birth?"

King Chu nodded, stretched out a hand and took Ji Yao's hand and put it on his palm, as if comforting Ji Yao. Of course, this action also provoked Mrs. Ying below to pout, but Mrs. Yan next to her didn't have much reaction.

Ignoring the reaction of the two daughters, the King of Chu was still immersed in his own memories and continued: "That night, a large number of Night Temple assassins broke into the palace, and at the same time raided my concubine and prince. ”

"Don't worry, the king, you are now at the age of being strong and healthy, and you have a long life span, even if you want to find someone to inherit the unification, you don't need to be in a hurry. Qu Yuan said without thinking, obviously a rectum.

Madame Ying on the other side also said to this: "Yes, king. You're still so young, I'm sure I'll give you a lot more children. ”

This kind of thing is usually inconvenient to say, but there is no need to care about the king of Chu, because the king's descendants are directly related to the future of the country, so giving birth to a son for the king is not a taboo thing, but a legitimate and bright thing that must be focused on.

When the King of Chu heard this, he did not answer their words, but raised his head and laughed, and then looked at Tianyou in the puzzled eyes of everyone and said, "You don't know anything. Although the night attack of the Assassins was an accident, the exile of the prince was arranged by my wife and me. ”

"What?" Qu Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, turned his head to look at Tianyou, and then went to see the King of Chu again as if seeking verification. "Do you mean ......?"

The King of Chu nodded lightly with a smile on his face, but his mouth introduced the secrets of the year. "One of the thieves who attacked day and night was actually a close friend of Madame's boudoir in Zixiao Palace in the old days. You should also know about the situation in the Night Temple, as the Assassins don't know the details until they take part in the mission. That night, this old friend also learned that his good sister was among the targets of the attack.

Although he had already betrayed Zixiao Palace at that time, he still remembered his old feelings for his wife, not only did he kill him, but also helped intercept many assassins, which protected the safety of his wife's mother and son. ”

Qu Yuan was obviously a straight temper, and when he heard this, he also sighed: "Although I don't know why this person betrayed Zixiao Palace, he is affectionate and righteous to his wife, if there is a fate to meet, I Qu Yuan is also willing to make this friend." ”

Wei Chigong on the side laughed and joked with Qu Yuan. "Lord Qu, you are a civil official, why do you always feel like a scholar when you are with you?" As he spoke, he turned to the King of Chu and asked, "Since the mother and son were safe that night, why was the prince taken captive after that?"

Ji Yao spoke at this time. "This is the result of my counsel with the king. Everyone knows the rules of the Night Temple. As long as the deal is reached, it will not stop until the goal is achieved. Although we intercepted the Assassins that night, we could not stop the Night Temple from continuing to assassinate. One day or two is enough, and if the Night Temple refuses to give up, we can't guarantee that we will never make a mistake. ”

Wei Chigong nodded and said, "Yes! It's easy to be a thief in a thousand days, but it's difficult to prevent a thief in a thousand days!"

"So I consulted with my wife that it would be better to plan the plan, and let the lady's close friend take my son, and then find a place where no one knows about it and raise it secretly. Externally, it was claimed that the prince had been taken captive, which confused the public. Most of the Assassins sent out by the Temple of Night that night were killed, and with my wife and I being suspicious, it would be even more difficult for them to find out the truth. ”

Ji Yao also added: "I live with the Great King in this royal city, in a bright place, and the Night God Temple can be attacked at any time. Now that my son has been 'taken away', that is, from light to darkness, even if the Night God Temple has the ability to reach the sky, it is useless to find anyone. ”

Qu Yuan couldn't help but clap his hands when he heard this: "This plan is very good, this plan is very good." That night temple was empty but could not find a target, and this signboard could be regarded as smashed in my Da Chu's hands. No wonder the Chinese New Year's Eve Temple became more and more active in my Dachu a few years later, but I didn't hear that anyone was killed. I'm looking for the little prince!"

The words have come to this, and even if the reaction is slow, everyone present understands the identity of Tianyou. Just now, only Qu Yuan and the King of Chu talked, just because the people who gave birth were looking at Tianyou in shock. Originally, it was still strange what the King of Chu was going to do when he found a young Chixiao Guard, but it turned out that this was to introduce them to His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been missing for many years.

After finally adapting to it, the biggest reaction was not a courtier like Wei Chigong, anyway, they all followed the king of Chu, and which prince to inherit the throne in the future actually had little impact on him. Of course, the most important thing is to see if he can get along with the future prince.

However, Wei Chigong didn't care, and the two opposite couldn't be calm.

The king of Chu has no son, which means that the position of the crown prince is vacant, otherwise the princes would not have done so much about it. Moreover, in the final analysis, they are the concubines of the king of Chu and can give birth to sons for the king of Chu. And if their children become crown princes, their status will naturally be different. So if you want to say who Tianyou's appearance has the greatest impact on the few people here, it is undoubtedly them.

"How can you be sure that he is the prince who was taken captive that day?" Mrs. Ying's first reaction was to deny the identity of the prince of Tianyou, but as soon as she said it, she felt a little inappropriate, and quickly added: "It's not to question the king, but to ...... After all, the prince has been missing for many years. Lost fashion in swaddling clothes, but now it's ......"

"God bless, show them your jade pendant. Ji Yao said directly.

Tianyou pulled out the jade pendant from the collar and displayed it in front of everyone.

Wei Chigong recognized at a glance that this was the king's dragon pattern jade pendant, and several other people also knew this thing.

Ji Yao continued to prove: "I have already compared the other half of the dragon pattern jade pendant, and it is indeed the half of the jade pendant that we deliberately left when we sent Tianyou away. ”

Wei Chigong obviously had something in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak, but Qu Yuan didn't seem to know what to avoid at all, and asked directly: "Although it is also a good thing to be able to find the prince, this matter is very important and should not be taken lightly." Although the jade pendant is genuine, it may also be lost and picked up by others halfway. I wonder if the king and the princess have any other way to confirm the identity of the little prince?"

In fact, Mrs. Ying also wanted to ask, but she was afraid of offending the king and Ji Yao, so she hesitated for a while, but she didn't expect Qu Yuan to ask. As soon as she heard this, she quickly agreed. "That's what Lord Qu said. This is not a trivial matter, I wonder if there is any other evidence to support it?"

Of course, Ji Yao was prepared, and immediately said unhurriedly: "I also know that this matter is important. I care more about my children than you, so naturally it is impossible to confirm our relationship casually because of a jade pendant.

In fact, the Great King and I only planned to let my close friend take Tianyou away and raise him for a few years, and then secretly send him back to the palace, so that I could educate my children on the inheritance knowledge of my Zixiao Palace. In addition, if we want to inherit the great unification in the future, we must also carry out relevant studies. ”

Qu Yuan listened and nodded straight below. It is indeed inappropriate to let the prince be exiled for a long time. Now listening to Ji Yao say this, it is obvious that he originally planned to take this prince back soon, but there must have been something wrong in the middle, so he has not brought the prince back until now. It's a straightforward nature.,Ask when you think of it.。

"Then why did you delay the return of the prince to the palace until now?"

Ji Yao made a helpless look and explained, "We still underestimate the power of the Night God Temple. My close friend did hide for a while after desperately bringing Wu'er out, but I didn't expect it to be discovered. After that, she took Tianyou all the way to avoid the pursuit, and finally had no choice but to get rid of the pursuers, so she could only find a deserted mountain village when passing by Qingyuan Mountain in Qindi to temporarily foster Tianyou in the village, and she risked her life to lead away the pursuers. ”

Qu Yuan praised again when he heard this: "Sure enough, she is a heroine who is affectionate and righteous, and she did not hesitate to risk her life in order to fulfill her promise." Respectable, lamentable!"

Wei Chigong didn't care about Xiyan's affairs, but just asked, "What about later?"

This time it's what God Bless said. "Later, Xiyan never returned, until I joined Zixiao Palace at the age of 16, and then accidentally recognized Biyou Fairy. ”

"But these are all things you said, you can't prove anything, right?" Mrs. Ying still couldn't hold back.

Ji Yao explained: "Xi Yan is my close friend, and she is like a sister to me, so she will definitely not accompany me, otherwise she could have attacked and killed me and Tianyou with the assassins that day, and there was no need to risk taking Tianyou away." Besides, this plan is what the king and I think, and she can't know in advance that I will let her take Tianyou away. ”

"So what? It just proves that your close friend is trustworthy. As for this ...... He said his identity by himself, maybe someone killed your close friend and sent someone to pretend to be?"

Ji Yao didn't have any emotional reaction, but slowly explained: "Only the three of us know about this matter, and the king and I will not reveal it, and Xiyan is also trustworthy, so it is impossible for others to know Tianyou's identity." ”

"But the Night Temple knows. "Madame Ying is not too stupid, at least she has found some possibility.

Ji Yao shook his head and said, "At most, the Night God Temple only knows Tianyou's identity, but it is impossible to know the details. In fact, the name of Tianyou was made in advance by me and the king, hoping that he could be blessed by God and successfully escape this catastrophe. Xiyan wouldn't tell the Night Temple these details, so even if they thought of sending someone to pretend, they couldn't think of using that name.

Second. Tianyou has lived in Qingyuan Village for nearly 7 years, and was less than 10 years old when he first arrived in the village. How can a child hide from so many people for 7 years?

Third. Tianyou's entry into Zixiao Palace was caused by a series of coincidences, and the characters involved were all famous and well-known, and even the Night God Temple was categorically impossible to mobilize these people to assist them, and in order to send someone to pretend to be Wu'er, it was too much trouble.

In addition to this, there are various details, such as Tianyou has been practicing the introductory chapter of my Zixiao Palace's inner door exercises since he was a child, which can obviously only be taught by Xi Yan. There's a lot more to the details of. If the Night God Temple can design all kinds of things so interlocking in order to pretend to be Wu'er, then they don't have to do such things at all, and they can directly destroy my Great Chu and Zixiao Palace. ”

Mrs. Ying wanted to find some more problems in her heart, but Ji Yao said it very clearly. There are too many and too complete chains of evidence, although it is impossible to directly say that Tianyou is that child, but it is completely impossible to say that someone deliberately arranged it.

Having said that, this matter was basically completely determined, so the others no longer hesitated. Qu Yuan and Wei Chigong stood up directly, then patted their sleeves and prepared to salute, and were about to kneel down while saying "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince".

Tianyou is not a child, of course he can't really let them kneel, so he hurriedly went over and helped the two of them.

Here you can see the personalities of the two. Wei Chigong just knelt down, and as soon as Tianyou helped him, he stood up. But Qu Yuan really knelt, was supported by Tianyou and tried to push down. Thanks to God's strength, he held it up. Seeing that he couldn't kneel, he stood up with the power of God's blessing.

In fact, the state of Chu is similar to the state of Qin in this regard, or the ten kingdoms of Shenzhou are actually similar. Generally, it is not necessary to kneel when meeting kings, princes, high-ranking officials, etc., and only formal occasions such as major gatherings need to kneel and bow. However, God has been lost for many years, this is the first time the two sides have met, and it is indeed appropriate to kneel.

After finally confirming Tianyou's identity, all that remains is some necessary communication. For example, Ji Yao "unintentionally" revealed that Tianyou not only joined Zixiao Palace, but also got the fancy of Zhenyuan Shangxian and became a registered disciple of Zhenyuan Shangxian. What's more, Tianyou has received the attention of the head and the sect masters, and even the head of the sect has rewarded Tianyou with the treasure of the town faction, the Taiyi Sword.

Of course, the Taiyi Sword was not actually given to Tianyou for nothing, but it was given to Tianyou because of a compromise in desperation. But there's no need to be so explicit here. Anyway, the thing is indeed here in Tianyou, and it is officially granted by everyone in Zixiao Palace, so there is actually no problem in saying that it is a reward.

As soon as Ji Yao said this, Qu Yuan and Yu Chigong began to be happy. Qu Yuan is okay, Yu Chigong is directly the sound of the horse's ass. After all, they are all in the line of the King of Chu, and now that the heir of the King of Chu is so powerful, they naturally have the bottom in their hearts. Although Qu Yuan also said that the King of Chu was young and was not in a hurry to consider the issue of the heir, after all, he had no children, so he was still a little weak-hearted. Now it's different. The King of Chu not only has a queen, but also is so outstanding, it is estimated that many wall-riding factions will directly consider transferring over, not to mention that they plan to follow the King of Chu all the way to the black.

A group of people in the room were thinking about the future succession to the throne, but Tianyou's focus was not on that. He has been quietly listening to Ji Yao and King Chu narrate the events of the year.

From the first time he recognized Ji Yao, Tianyou found that there were many strange things in his life experience. The biggest problem is the first thing I see after crossing over.

According to memory, the first picture Tianyou saw in this world was a deserted alley, and there was no one else around him at that time. Xiyan appeared by his side after Tianyou crossed over, and this memory is very clear, and Tianyou will not be mistaken.

According to what Ji Yao and King Chu said, Tianyou should have been taken out of the palace directly by Xiyan. In terms of the situation at the time, it seems a bit unreasonable to leave Tianyou alone, and then come back in a circle and pick him up again. And Tianyoujue's Xiyan was obviously surprised and hesitant when he saw him, which showed that Xiyan should have suddenly discovered him at that time.

Obviously, Tianyou's memory did not match what Ji Yao and King Chu said, but Tianyou couldn't figure out why there was such a discrepancy in content. Coupled with the speculations that Pandora had told Tianyou before, Tianyou was almost certain that there should be other unknown secrets hidden in his life experience, but for some reason, several parties deliberately concealed this part.

No matter what the problem in the middle is, at least according to the information currently available, it seems that Tianyoujue's self should indeed be the child of King Chu and Ji Yao, so he did not object to this meeting. Of course, what he cares about is never family affection. It's not that he has no feelings, but there is really no family affection between him and King Chu and Ji Yao, two strange parents.

The reason why Tianyou is willing to cooperate with Ji Yao this time is because of etiquette, on the one hand, it is out of etiquette, and I feel that this is what it should be. But more often than not, there are other plans.

One is that the identity of the prince can erase the identity gap between him and Yingying.

The second is that Ji Yao's identity determines that getting closer to her is definitely not a bad thing.

The third is, of course, the various conveniences brought by the status of a prince. For example, visiting the treasury of the Chu State has become quite simple with today's identity.

At the beginning, when the emperor sword and the gold brick had a chain reaction in the Zhao Kingdom, Tianyou was still a little unclear for a while. It wasn't until the treasury was directly trampled on in the Qin State that it also caused the Emperor Sword to undergo a mutation, and it was completely unsealed, not to mention, there were many more strange attributes.

Tianyou has been studying all these changes, and now although he has not been able to completely understand the reason, he can at least be sure of one thing - the Emperor Sword can absorb something in the gold brick to strengthen itself.

Since analyzing this characteristic of the Emperor Dao Sword, Tianyou has been planning to find an opportunity to visit the vaults of various countries. Now that the treasury of the Qin State has been swept over by him, the next target is naturally the treasury of the Chu State, which is close to the water.

The purpose is clear, so Tianyou didn't overly entangle the loopholes in the words of King Chu and Ji Yao, anyway, this identity is a good thing for him at the moment, and there is no need to rush to break up the relationship with Ji Yao and them.

After the identity was revealed, the King of Chu handed over the time to the two close ministers and concubines, so that they and Tianyou could get acquainted with it as soon as possible. However, it is mainly Qu Yuan and Wei Chigong who are talking to Tianyou, and the two ladies are not too eager because of their identity, and their positions themselves cannot be completely inclined to Tianyou.

To say strange, the two ladies are actually normal reactions, but the state of one person at the scene is really strange.

The queen, who was sitting on an equal footing with the King of Chu, had hardly reacted since Tianyou entered the house. When the King of Chu introduced their identities to Tianyou, the others explained their identities and relationships in great detail, but only this queen, the King of Chu just said that this was the queen and jumped over directly, without any superfluous introduction, and this queen did not express any opinions in the subsequent process. Even after the King of Chu introduced her, Tianyou nodded slightly to Tianyou in response when he saluted, and the queen was almost pretending to be a wooden person the whole time.

In terms of identity, this queen should be the person with the highest status here, except for the King of Chu. Of course, it may also be because of Ji Yao's fairy status, so her status as a queen has declined slightly. But in any case, the status of the two ladies and the two officials is certain. But it's a bit strange that such a person is pretending to be a wooden man all the time.

Of course, although it feels very strange, Tianyou is not easy to ask directly. After all, it's someone else's business whether to talk or not, and Tianyou just feels strange, and he doesn't plan to get to the bottom of it.

Because it was a secret meeting, the time should not be too long, so after a simple exchange, the king of Chu ended the conversation. The two officials still had to stay and discuss some future arrangements with the king of Chu, while the two ladies and the queen left first.

Ji Yao took Tianyou's hand and said some warm protection to him, and explained why he couldn't return on time last night. Listening to what she meant, it seemed that Mrs. Ying forced her to help people talk to the matchmaker, but she did all kinds of things halfway, and she couldn't come back until the palace gate was closed. Thinking of what happened last night, Tianyou's first reaction was that Mrs. Ying's eighty percent had a direct relationship with last night's incident, and maybe even she planned it.

Of course, Ji Yao couldn't say this in front of Tianyou, but the meaning of her words was obviously to guess the reason. Both of them understand in their hearts that it is nothing more than a scene in which the women in the palace are extremely bored and compete for favor with each other. Ji Yao didn't care about it herself, and of course Tianyou didn't care about it.

After chatting casually, Ji Yao arranged for someone to send Tianyou out of the palace, and she herself stayed with the King of Chu to discuss the next thing.

Although women in the Shenzhou Continent can also inherit the throne, generally speaking, as the spouse of the king, they usually avoid participating in court politics. However, Ji Yao is obviously an exception. She herself has the identity of the envoy of Zixiao Palace in the Chu State, so she and the King of Chu share a lot of government affairs.

Returning to the house arranged for him by the King of Chu, seeing that it was still early, Tianyou wanted to go out for a walk. I originally wanted to call Shangqi Xiaomei and them together, but I didn't see anyone after looking around, and I asked the subordinates temporarily sent by the King of Chu to know that these girls couldn't sit still and ran out to go shopping.

"Gone out?" Thinking about it, with Ah Xiang following, it shouldn't be a big deal for God to bless Jue. So he asked the temporary housekeeper arranged by the king of Chu, "Did Ah Xiang say when they would come back?"

The housekeeper was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said, "Miss Ah Xiang has returned to the palace." ”

"Ah Xiang has returned to the palace?

The housekeeper also came after Tianyou left, and he didn't seem to know much. In addition to knowing that Tianyou and these few were important guests of the king and Princess Ji Yao, he did not fully understand the identities of several people. The most important point is that this housekeeper is an ordinary person, and he didn't find out the monster identities of Hu Qingxuan and Hu Niu at all, as for Qi Xiaomei's half-human and half-corpse attributes, let alone that. There were not many monks in Zixiao Palace who could see it directly.

Thinking that it was just an important guest, the housekeeper naturally didn't pay too much attention. Seeing that Hu Qingxuan and the others were going out, of course he asked if he wanted to arrange a carriage or a person, but Hu Qingxuan and the others said that they were just going to go shopping casually and didn't need anyone to follow, so he didn't say much. After all, he is a housekeeper, not a cell boss, so there is no reason to restrict the actions of guests, right?

The housekeeper didn't realize the problem before, but seeing Tianyou's big reaction, he obviously knew that there must be some problem. Thinking of the solemn expression when Lord Sigong personally explained that he was carefully serving these people, the cold sweat on his back immediately broke out unconsciously.

"Gong ...... Childe ......" The housekeeper, who was frightened by the terrible consequences of his imagination, nervously asked Tianyou: "But what is the danger of worrying about the female dependents?" The villain saw that two of the three young ladies were dressed as martial artists, and thought that ......

Tianyou stretched out his hand to stop the housekeeper's explanation, thinking that the other party had misunderstood, so he kindly explained: "No, I'm not worried that they are in danger. I'm worried about the danger to passers-by!"

"Huh?" the butler was obviously a little overactive for a moment.

Tianyou didn't bother to explain to him. "Forget it, there shouldn't be any big deal with Qingxuan looking at it. ”

Unlike the tiger girl who has lived in the mountains for a long time and does not understand the world, and the Qi Xiaomei who is too young and only knows how to dart, Hu Qingxuan is a fox spirit who is mixed in the world. Her life experience can be said to be not much worse than that of Tianyou. When the three of them are together on weekdays, Qi Xiaomei and Hu Niu most of them also like to listen to her arrangements, after all, Hu Qingxuan's experience is much more than them.

But...... Although Hu Qingxuan has no shortage of life experience, she is not a human after all. A monster's worldview and values...... It's not good to think about.

"Forget it. I'll go out and see if I can run into them. Did you ask them where they went?"

The housekeeper, who felt derelict in his duties, hurriedly replied: "Asked, asked." He said he was going to taste the food, and then he was going to the night market. ”

"Night market, you have a night market here?" Although the ten countries of Shenzhou are ten countries, they are actually similar in some aspects, for example, Wangcheng has a curfew every night. Nightlife or something, in the Shenzhou continent, it is an event that is only attended by the powerful, and it is usually spent overnight at the meeting place, and the street is actually still under a curfew.

The housekeeper understood why Tianyou reacted so much, and quickly explained: "No. This royal city has a curfew on weekdays and nights, and it is not allowed to walk around the streets, but today coincides with a big gathering, so the night market will be opened, and the curfew will not start until the hour. ”

The hour is from 11 o'clock in the middle of the night to 1 o'clock in the mausoleum. There are no electric lights in the Shenzhou Continent, and although candles and other things are not unaffordable for ordinary people, they also need to be used sparingly, so no matter which country they are, everyone can only follow the cycle of the sun to arrange their life cycles. The so-called sunrise and sunrise and sunrise and rest are this allusion. Without the illumination of the lights, most people would choose to finish all their washing work and lie down in bed before the unitary time, and only those places that were hooked would operate all night. Of course, that has nothing to do with ordinary people.

It's still early, and the night market shouldn't have started yet, so Tianyou estimates that Qi Xiaomei and they must be going to a snack street or something. The commerce of the Shenzhou Continent is not very developed, and even if the Chu State is considered a country with outstanding commerce, it is impossible to compare with the commercial scale on the earth. There are not many places such as food stalls, hotels, and restaurants, but there are definitely not many of them. It's actually quite easy to find.

After figuring out the purpose of Qi Xiaomei, Tianyou rejected the housekeeper's suggestion to send someone to help find them together, and left the courtyard alone. However, he had just left the courtyard on his front feet when two tails followed him.

"Ji Yao or the bodyguard arranged by the King of Chu?" this thought flashed through his mind, and then was denied by Tianyou himself. "Not true. Few people know my identity now, and arranging bodyguards will only add insult to injury. But who else is going to target me?"
