In the wing room at this time, Shen Xiao slowly paced to the window with his hands down, as if he was pondering something, and after a while, he turned around and looked at the guard kneeling on the ground with a cold expression, "What did you say?" ”

Seeing his serious face, the guard had no choice but to say again, "Lord Hui, according to the report from our spies in the army, my 130,000 army of Xianyu has been like a bamboo all the way under the leadership of General Qian, and now it has successfully recaptured the two cities of Luyang and Qintong!" After the court received the good news, the emperor was really happy, and gave a thousand heads of cattle and sheep, 10,000 pieces of gold and silver, and a total of 20,000 swords and sharp weapons, as a reward for the three armies, and ordered Lord Dugu to escort him to departure on the same day. ”

"Oh? It seems that what our emperor wants is not just to recapture the four cities! Shen Xiao gently pulled the corners of his lips, and there was a hint of confusion in his slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, but he didn't show much surprise on his face.

Just been silent for a long time before continuing, "By the way, how is the emperor's condition recently?" ”

The guard raised his eyes again and looked at him with some curiosity, "My lord, didn't you already know that the emperor was pretending to be sick?" ”

"Oh, yes! Look at my memory" After laughing at himself, Shen Xiao simply took the corner of his clothes and sat down on the chair next to the window, at this time, the scorching sun of early autumn was falling obliquely through the window, and it would sprinkle a blazing light on his right shoulder.

After being silent for a while, Shen Xiao loosened his body and leaned lazily on the chair, "You said that the emperor is obviously a noble person who carries the prime minister, but the prime minister is calculating him behind his back, isn't this a little ungrateful?" ”

"Your Excellency is talking about the fact that the Seventh Prince has been bent on taking refuge in Buddhism recently?"

"Hmph," Shen Xiao couldn't help but sneer after hearing the guard's question, "Do you think that if it weren't for me, that idiot would have realized that his life was going to be lost so quickly?" If it weren't for my reminder, he would probably still be excited about the expedition of the second prince at the moment, and even thought that God was helping him, if he hadn't seen the guards who were secretly pretending to be himself being stabbed into a hornet's nest by feather arrows when approaching the palace, I am afraid that at this moment he would have sharpened his head and behave in front of his own father, but he didn't know that it was his own father and the Nine Dragons throne that he regarded as a god platform that wanted him to die. ”

"My lord, in fact, why do you do this, whether the Seventh Prince lives or dies has nothing to do with us, but if the emperor knows that you have ruined his plan, this matter is known by the emperor."

"It's okay!" Shen Xiao smiled lightly, and finally showed some fatigue between his eyebrows, "In fact, the game of imperial power competition has always been the most cruel in this world, as long as you have tasted the taste of power, you will know that you can never get out again, and the most cruel thing is that there is never a real concept in this game, what kind of brotherhood, what father-son relationship is worthless garbage!" Reality only recognizes the result, as long as you are involved in the whirlpool of power disputes, no one can get out of it, conspiracy, conspiracy, resentment, these dirtiest things in the world will haunt you for the rest of your life, until death. And even if I save the Seven Princes for a while, who dares to say that he will survive to the end of the game? ”

The guard raised his eyes and looked at Shen Xiao with great puzzlement, only to feel that what a person like the Prime Minister of the Prison State had appreciated was too profound, and he couldn't understand it as a mere guard, but he understood the meaning of Shen Xiao's words, that is, he was tired.

The guard fell to the ground, hesitated for a long time, and finally continued to speak, "By the way, my lord, there is one more thing that happened to the second prince!" I am afraid that the people are gone now. ”

"What did you say?" Shen Xiao's eyes widened, and Fang Cai's fatigue had already disappeared without a trace with the guard's words.

Just in time, a crisp sound came from outside the door, and it sounded like a tea cup fell to the ground.

Shen Xiao frowned, but he didn't see half a figure after following the prestige.

This mountain villa is hidden, and the guards are tight, and others will definitely not be able to enter, maybe it is a rough line maid who missed

Shen Xiao, who had always been cautious, suddenly felt a little negligent, and after thinking about it like this, he didn't chase out the door, but just looked at the guard seriously, "Tell me clearly, what's going on?" How did the second prince die? ”

"I heard that it was attacking Luyang, and when I was fighting with the Jin army, I was ambushed by the Jin army, and I was pushed into the fire with people and horses, and the burned bones were gone! After the court knew about this, the emperor didn't say anything unusually, but simply said that it was an honor to sacrifice his life for the country, and then he hurriedly mourned, and the funeral was grand, but"

"But what?"

The guard looked at Shen Xiao in embarrassment, "However, because of the sudden death of the second prince, the emperor also issued an order to fully arrest the second princess who disappeared for no reason, and let her give the second prince a funeral." ”

"Oh?" Shen Xiao raised his eyebrows, and a touch of playfulness appeared from the slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes, "In this way, the emperor is really anxious, and he didn't even wait for the army to confirm the death of the second prince, so that the emperor will only have the seventh prince to deal with." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" The guard was puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be that the second prince hasn't yet?"

"A dead person who was sent to the grave by the emperor's own hands cannot snatch the throne!"

Shen Xiao hooked his lips and sneered, and the light in his eyes also turned cold.

It seems that he also has to plan early, once the bloodthirsty monarch has eliminated the forces that threaten him, in order to be able to seal the secret forever, his next goal should be to eliminate all the courtiers he has promoted, after all, it is very dangerous to keep a waste chess that will explode at any time.

"Girl, you're back!"

In the hall, Jing Yu was pacing back and forth with the miracle of being asleep, and as soon as he saw me coming, he immediately put the little guy in his arms on the shaking bed carefully, and then greeted me, "Girl, didn't you go to Shen Youxiang and say that you want to leave here?" Why did you come back so soon? Did Shen Youxiang promise you? ”

Seeing that I didn't react, Jing Yu shook my arm lightly and asked with concern, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Why do you look like you've lost your soul? Could it be that Shen Youxiang bullied you? Girl! ”

At first, I was still in a trance, but I was suddenly shaken by a fierce shake from Shocking Yu's men, and finally came to my senses completely.

"I" looked left and right, and I didn't even know how I got back from the wing.

"Girl, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? Jingyun frowned, "Is it that surnamed Shen who doesn't want you to leave?" ”

I didn't answer her words for a while, I just felt as if my heart was blocked by something at the moment, and it was suffocating and uncomfortable.

Jing Yu is an anxious person, and when he saw me, his eyes turned red with anxiety, "Girl, you can say something anyway!" Wouldn't being so silent kill us? ”

Mechanically raised my head and looked at Frightening Feather's red eyes like rabbits, and I finally tried my best to pull out a smile, "Shocking Feather I, I'm going to Qintong!" ”

When they heard what I said, they couldn't help but change their complexions.

Especially Jing Yu, when he was speechless, "Girl, how do you know no, no, I mean why so suddenly?" How did you come up with the idea of going to Qintong? Qintong is fighting now, but I can't go, just in case"

"Enough!"

Seeing that Jing Yuyue was incoherent, Jing Yun finally spoke up to stop her.

Looks like they've known about it for a long time! but he kept me in the dark.

After a long time, Jingyun finally sighed, looked at me with a faint gaze and said, "Has the girl already decided?" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded vigorously, about the news that Shen Xiao got, I naturally wouldn't easily believe it without personally confirming it.

"Okay!" It could be seen that Jingyun was a little helpless, and bowed his head and was silent for a moment before continuing, "If the girl decides, then Xiao Shizi can rest assured that it will be handed over to me!" With me, I will be able to keep the world safe, but the road to Qintong is far away, the girl has just given birth, and she is alone, which is really reassuring! ”

"I'm fine!" I shook my head slightly, and the tip of my nose was a little sour, "It's been bothering you two sisters so much, I really can't help it!" ”

"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? And we still use such politeness? Since you were the person the doctor asked us to take care of, you were the master of our sisters! Then there is no need to say anything that is not too careful! ”

Jing Yu's mention of Gong's grandson made me and Jing Yun look at each other, and my heart couldn't help but feel sad.

It was because of the bleak night, and the three of us finally got rid of the mother-in-law who was guarding the house, and lay down at the base of the wall, and waited for almost half a pillar of incense before finally waiting for the changing of the guard in the Qiyun Villa nursing home.

At this time, the guards were the weakest, and the Shocking Cloud was extremely agile, and when the guards noticed the black shadow jumping out of the wall, everyone shouted, "What a person! ”

Then I saw the group of guards rushing out like a swarm to chase the black shadow.

Now, there are only two guards left at the door.

It's a great time.

Feather looked at me, smiled wickedly, and then reached behind the two of them with a stick that had come down the way.

The two guards reacted, but before they could turn around, they were knocked unconscious.

"Hey, hey!" Jing Yu clapped his hands and smiled proudly, dropped the wooden stick and hurriedly beckoned to me, "Girl, let's go!" ”

At this time, I couldn't care much about it, so I pulled my legs and ran wildly with the feathers.

After a long run through the dark and gloomy forest, I ran left and right for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a grassy path.

"Girl, are you alright? Is Xiao Shizi good? After holding his stomach and panting, he raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead.

I looked down at the miracle of being wrapped into a small rice dumpling in my arms, and after seeing that he was safe, I sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief, "It's okay!" I finally didn't lose it. ”

"However, this child is sleeping so deeply, he won't wake up like this!"

Feather sat down beside me and looked at the miracle of sleeping soundly while frowning in my arms.

At this time, Jingyun suddenly jumped out of the forest next to him, patted the leaves on the top of his head, and smacked, "What a group of difficult guys." ”

"Are you alright?"

Hearing my question, Jingyun's expression softened slightly, "I'm fine, but girl, there's no time!" I'm afraid that the person surnamed Shen already knows that you have escaped at this moment, and if we stay like this, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape! ”

"Got it!"

I nodded slightly, looked at the cute little fleshy face in my arms, and when I thought that I was about to be separated from him, my heart suddenly ached as if someone had taken it alive.

"Girl" looked at me a little unbearably.

But I know that at this point I have to be firm!

So he gritted his teeth

"Take care of him!"

After handing over the miracle to Feather, I got up from the ground.

Jingyun said, "Don't worry, girl, we are going to the northwest to find the girl's aunt, if the girl finds His Highness, she might as well go there to find us!" We will take good care of Xiao Shizi on the way. ”

"Hmmm! I believe in you! I nodded heavily.

At that time, I didn't know what was waiting for me along the way.

Wonderful!
