Her move is an evolution of the Flying Cloud Spear, which conceals the wrath of thunder, and its power is self-evident. The man's eyes flashed, and he suddenly lost the strength in his palm, and his body sitting on the chair leaned back, and something popped out between his fingers, shooting straight into the warm yellow candlelight a few steps away.

For a while, only a "clang" sound was heard, and at the same time as the mask fell, the candlelight was extinguished.

The room was suddenly dark, Shangguan Jiyue was angry in her heart, and hurriedly took out the fire fold from her arms and re-lit the fire candle. Looking back, it was too late, and the mask had already returned to the man's face.

Shangguan Jiyue was discouraged, and only glared at the man in green clothes fiercely, but did not make any more moves.

The man in Tsing Yi got up slowly, walked to the door, carried her behind his back and said, "Rest early, I will go to the Imperial City tonight." ”

The hoarse and dark voice seemed to hit Shangguan Jiyue's heart hard, and there was no reason for the dull pain to be uncomfortable, her throat tightened, staring at the tall and thin back and said, "I must know you!" ”

The man's figure froze visibly, and without saying a word, he strode out of the room.

On the second day, Shangguan Jiyue met Chu Qianyun, the little lord of Liuguo, in the box in the agreed juggling theater.

She is tall and tall, with bright facial features, and her long eyelashes are curled and sparkling. There is no coquettish attitude of the daughter's family, but the whole body is filled with a lively and agile atmosphere.

When this little county lord saw Shangguan Jiyue for the first time, his bright eyes did not hide his amazement, as if he did not expect that there would be such a handsome and handsome man in the world. But it only stopped on her face for a moment, and then her gaze quickly slashed away.

Xu saw that she was dressed in cloth and dressed up as a person from the rivers and lakes, so she gave Shangguan Jiyue a salute to the rivers and lakes in a nondescript manner, and said some greetings to thank her for taking care of her brother, and Shangguan Jiyue smiled.

Although she didn't know what the brother and sister were talking about, it was obvious from the corners of Chu Tianyun's reddish eyes and between the lines just now that the little county lord believed the fact that Chu Zijie in front of her was her real royal brother.

On the same day, Chu Zijie pretended to be Chu Qianyun's guard and followed her into the palace. It's just that before leaving, the little county lord stopped Shangguan Jiyue, changed his lively and chic atmosphere at the beginning, his cheeks turned red, and he whispered shyly: "Childe, do you know the name of the person who delivered the letter last night?" ”

"Huh?" Shangguan Jiyue was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Chu Tianyun was asking the man in green clothes and masks.

"It's Brother Wang...... Said that the man and the son are familiar to you, so ...... I just took the liberty to ask......"

"I'm really sorry, I've only known him for a few days, and I really don't know his name, let alone who he is."

Shangguan Jiyue saw Chu Qianyun's words and his eyes were full of spring, and he already understood that something must have happened between the masked man and this lively and cheerful little county lord when he delivered the letter last night. It's just that she really didn't know the details of the man, so she could only watch Chu Tianyun leave with a disappointed face.

The clouds gather and disperse, and the sun and the moon change.

When the fiery morning sun broke through the clouds, passed through the mist, and slowly rose from the east again, the streets and alleys of Liuguo, restaurants and tea shops, were circulating an amazing news: the eldest prince in the imperial city is a fake! It is false that the lord of Chu is seriously ill on the couch, and it is true that he was imprisoned!

This news spread rapidly in a few days with the momentum of a blazing prairie fire, and everyone knew about it. The whole country was panicked, and the incident of the sudden dispatch of troops to Songtaoling by the Ryuk State a few days ago made the people even more convinced. This rumor must not be groundless, otherwise how could a person with a pure heart like the eldest prince disregard the lives of the people and provoke a war with Beicang.

In the streets and alleys, merchants and pedestrians gathered in twos and threes, whispering.

"Have you heard? Now that big boy in the Imperial City is an impostor! Passerby A asked cautiously.

"That's right! I said that the lord of Chu is in the prime of life in the Spring and Autumn Period, how can I say that he is seriously ill, it turns out that he is imprisoned in seclusion......" Passerby B shook his head and sighed.

"The lord of Chu is a generation of Ming monarchs, who love the people like sons, and we have the grand occasion of today's Liuguo, so that our people can live a good life and have no worries about food and clothing. Whoever dares to imprison our lord, I will be the first to disobey! "Passerby C is a man in the prime of life, full of anger when he speaks, and at first glance he is a person who has great respect for the lord of Chu.

"That's right! I don't either! Whether it's true or not, let's go to the gate of the imperial city and wait! Even if he is the eldest prince, he should give us an explanation! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go! Let's go ask for an explanation! We must not allow those with evil intentions to succeed in their schemes! ”

“……”

Everyone was filled with indignation as they spoke, and someone proposed, so they hit it off, and went in groups in the direction of the imperial city.

So, outside the gate of the Imperial City of Liuguo, the people gathered more and more, and the momentum was huge, threatening to ask the lord of Chu and the eldest prince to come out and give them an explanation, some excited and reckless people even raised the hoes, shovels and other agricultural tools in their hands, and wanted to rush into the imperial city, and the imperial city guards confronted each other.

The scene has been chaotic to the extreme, the military and the people are tense, to the point of imminent eruption, the city guard is in a grim situation, dare not make the decision on his own, and has already gone to report to the superiors.

In the Imperial City.

The fake Chu Zijie, who was sitting on the main seat above the main hall, listened to the report of the minister of civil and military affairs in the hall below, his face was extremely ugly, his eyebrows were twisted together, and a pair of cold eyes glanced downward, and he said coldly: "This group of Diao people, the rumor that the king is a fake person, this matter is really ridiculous!" Nonsense! ”

An older minister stepped forward, and although he bowed and saluted, his tone was not as respectful as before: "Eldest prince, for some reason, this matter has become like this overnight, and the people of the whole city are spreading it, if this matter cannot be properly resolved, there will be endless troubles!" ”

"Kill! Kill a hundred people, and see if those people dare to bewitch the public! A cold, merciless voice overflowed from the thin lips above, as if from hell, and slammed into the hearts of everyone present.

"No!" An old and majestic voice came from outside the hall.

Everyone looked at the voice, only to see an old minister wearing an official hat that could not hide the snow-colored sideburns, his beard was even more snow-white, and a pair of wrinkled hands like pine bark walked in from outside the entrance of the main hall with the help of someone. Although his steps are staggering, his residual power is still there, and his eyes are bright and restrained, full of majesty.

"I've seen the old lady!" When all the ministers in the palace saw the old man, they all bowed and showed solemn respect.

"Chu Zijie", who was sitting at the top, saw that this person's brows were furrowed even deeper, and the fierce light in his eyes flashed, and he immediately got up, stepped forward and gently hugged his arm, and said respectfully: "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”

This person is the famous old lady Jiang of Liuguo - Jiang Rong. He is not only the respected old lady of Liuguo, but also Chu Aotian's father-in-law, and Chu Zijie's grandfather.
