Chapter 25: The Shadow Guard
"Where's Goo-Dong?" Wu Wu looked up, but saw that the guy was holding the sable, and had fallen asleep soundly on the beam, smashing his little mouth, as if enjoying something delicious in his dream. She pursed her lips and smiled, and with a tap of her toes flew up the beam, hugging him down.
Xiao Gudong leaned on Sansso's arms, rubbed his little head against her, and slept more soundly. And the little sable was already lying on the carefree shoulder, obediently looking at everyone with big eyes.
Worry-free kissed Xiao Gudong's black and soft hair, and said with a soft smile: "No wonder he was sleepy, he searched for two days and two nights to find here, and he asked tens of thousands of whys along the way, can he not be tired?"
"Yes, if you ignore him, he will ask me, I ignore him, he will ask Ni'er, Ni'er will ignore him, he will pester Xiaohui, and I don't know where there are so many questions in his little head." Yunshang, who was dressed in plain white clothes, looked at Xiao Gudong in Wuwu's arms with pity.
Ni Er and Xiao Hui also smiled beside them.
Xiao Zhu came over and touched the lid of Xiao Gudong's pot, and then touched the back of Xiao Sable, and said with a smile: "You have picked up this pair of treasures, but you are not lonely, judging from Xiao Gudong's internal strength, the master must be very loving, and he is ready to teach him a lifelong mastery." After she finished speaking, she restrained her smile and asked with a solemn face: "Have you ever met with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Has His Highness made a mistake? β
"I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that night, His Highness was holding a woman in his arms, the woman was confused, but His Highness looked fine." Hassle-free answers.
Xiao Zhu frowned, she didn't know what the concept of "His Highness looks fine" was. "Your Highness and the womanβ" She and the girls were all unmarried, and her face was already red before the question could be asked.
Wuwu and Yunshang glanced at each other, and they both blushed, and Wuwu said, "That woman has a very beautiful face and disheveled clothes, and when we entered, Her Highness took a sheet to wrap her. β
"I didn't see anything, Sister Sanssouci covered my eyes." Xiao Gudong suddenly looked up and said something.
"Sleep!" Carefree flicked in his face.
"Why do people sleep?" Little Coo Dong muttered a word, and fell asleep sweetly.
"Huh." Although Xiao Zhu was worried, he couldn't help but be amused by Xiao Gudong's naivety. "I'm going back to Your Highness, are you with me?" She asked carefree.
"We are the prince's shadow guard, it's better to show up less, this is the signal rocket given by our master when we go down the mountain, in case of emergency, my sister only needs to send a signal into the air, and we will appear in front of my sister as quickly as possible." Worry-free took out a bag of things from his carry-on package and handed it to Xiao Zhu.
"Okay, then I won't delay, you must be cautious, the queen is already suspicious of the prince, and the heart of murdering the prince is becoming more and more rampant, the road back to the imperial capital must be dangerous, we must swear to protect His Royal Highness." Xiao Zhu looked at the girls with a solemn expression and said.
"Yes!" Wuwu and Yunsheng, Ni'er, and Xiaohui hugged their fists and agreed.
Xiao Zhu also hugged his fist at them, then turned and leaped away, and a little black shadow disappeared into the white snow in an instant.
"Let's go too, it's disgusting to think about the death of so many people here." Ni Er looked at Wu Wu and said.
"Okay, let's change our costumes so as not to attract people's eyes." Worry-free put Xiao Gudong on the chair, took out a few sets of men's clothes from the baggage and distributed them to everyone, and after a while, she and Yunshang turned into a handsome young man wearing a scarf and a long sword on his waist, and Ni Er and Xiaohui turned into two little girls. Ni'er hugged Xiao Gudong, Xiaohui hugged Sable, and the group walked out of the broken temple and walked in the direction where Xiaozhu left.
Let's say that Liufan stayed in Xihe County for two nights, the accompanying palace maids and guards basically recovered, and the people of Xihe also controlled the epidemic.
During the day, as before, he only drank and amused with the palace maids who accompanied him, and only at night did he dismiss them and read quietly in the house alone. Xiao Zhu was not there, and he didn't dare to take the risk of practicing, because he was attacked during the practice, and it was very likely that he would go mad and die violently in the retrograde meridians.
He has finally memorized half of the "Chongxu Sutra", but he is very dissatisfied with this speed, seeing that the queen's persecution is in front of him, and the battle against the enemy is a matter of time and moment, he has only practiced internal strength for so many years, silently reciting the sword and moving the heart, but he has never fought or practiced with others, which is a fatal weakness for him.
Since Luo Lianyi came out of Liufan's room that day, she almost stayed at home, only hiding in her room to read medical books, she was very afraid of meeting him, she didn't know what expression she should face when she met him. Fortunately, Liufan has always stayed in his room for the past two days, and seems to have forgotten her existence.
"Kozuki! Kozuki is back! β
That afternoon, she was reading a book on the stove, when she suddenly heard the call of the wind forest outside, and she hurriedly lost her book and ran out of the room. Xiaozhu has been missing for two days, and she is quite worried about it.
Xiao Zhu didn't have time to greet everyone, and went straight to Liufan's room, Luo Lianyi looked at her from a distance, and didn't want to talk to her from Liufan's side, so she had to turn around and go back to her room. Liufan probably heard the call of the wind forest and was already standing at the door to greet her.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xiao Zhu clasped his fists and saluted.
"No need to be polite, come in." Ryu Fan grabbed her hand and led her into the room. This action made Xiao Zhu's snow-white pretty face suddenly red, but Liu Fan didn't pay so much attention, he drank back from the other palace maids in the house, and hurriedly asked Xiao Zhu, "Where have you been?" Are there any injuries? Have you seen them in carefree clouds? He asked a series of questions, and suddenly looked down to see a whip mark on the back of Xiao Zhu's hand, and hurriedly rolled up her sleeve, only to see that her white jade-like arm was covered with whip marks.
"Damn it!" Lu Fan stretched out his hand to caress the whip marks and said through gritted teeth.
"It's okay, Your Highness the Prince." Xiao Zhu hurriedly put down his sleeves, lowered his head and said, "They tortured me, but fortunately, they arrived without worry, and those people have all been killed by us." β
"Good!" Ryufan punched the desk.
"This time the leader is the second father-in-law Tong next to the queen, the second father-in-law is missing, the queen will definitely send more people to look for it, and will further design to murder His Highness, the queen seems to have become suspicious of His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness the eldest prince are getting older, and the queen's ambition to take the throne for His Royal Highness the eldest prince must be getting stronger and stronger." Kozuki said.
Liufan nodded: "Yes, so we have to be more careful, poisoned that night, the queen must have wanted me to do something wrong with the lord of Tanglin County, commit the crime of bullying the king, and then impeach me in front of my father, even if my father doesn't kill me, he will definitely depose my crown prince in anger!" β
"Well, Your Highness had better suspend your practice all the way, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows, and you can't let them have a chance to take advantage of them!" Xiao Zhu said that she looked at the prince's expression and guessed that something terrible should not have happened between him and the lord of Tanglin County, and a stone fell to the ground in her heart.
