Not long after, a soldier came in with a medicine bowl and changed clothes with Chu Mubai, both of whom were tightly covered with face towels, only their eyes were exposed. Then Chu Mubai and Zijin waved their hands, walked out of the tent with the medicine bowl, and went west.

Qiu Zijin led the army and returned to Beijing in a mighty way. The soldier pretended to be Chu Mubai, saying that he was sick and had been lying in the carriage, covered by Qiu Zijin, and no one was suspicious along the way.

Chu Mubai went straight to Dunhuang, the capital of Xiliang, and traveled unhindered all the way, and entered the capital after Li Teng'er's army. He disguised himself as a foreign merchant and found an inconspicuous inn to live in, and his line and actions were the same as the local people.

He has lived in Xiliang Border Pass for many years, often dealing with Xiliang people, and is also familiar with the folk customs here.

He met Li Teng'er once in the city, and it seemed that he was returning to the city from hunting, leading dozens of cavalry to return triumphantly from the city gate, and immediately hung with the harvested prey, like a dark cloud sweeping through the streets vigorously.

The people in the capital avoided one after another, raising their arms and cheering at Li Teng'er.

Chu Mubai hid on the second floor of the inn, and saw Li Teng'er heroically passing by the street from the window, with his eyebrows and eyes flying, which was completely different from the charming and romantic style when he was in the capital.

Li Teng'er has a lot of prestige in the eyes of the people of Xiliang, and the limelight even overtook Prince Xiliang, who was sick in the prince's mansion.

The Prince's Mansion in Xiliang is heavily guarded, and the inventory is also extremely strict.

Chu Mubai listened to the people in the capital city say that the prince of Xiliang has been smart since he was a child, Wen Tao is martial, omniscient, governing the country and leading the army, all of them are impossible, full of splendor, and the name of Xiliang is a well-deserved choice of the monarch of Xiliang. It's just a pity that God is jealous of talents, since a serious illness a few years ago, he has been lingering on the sickbed and has not been able to recover.

Therefore, over the years, the prince has been closed, recuperating in the prince's mansion, ignoring what is happening outside the window, and gradually fading out of the sight of the people of Xiliang.

Compared with Li Teng'er, who rose like a pearl, this righteous prince was forgotten by the people of the capital, and the legendary story when he was young has also become a legend.

The Prince's Mansion is the purpose of Chu Mubai's infiltration into Xiliang this time.

Like Mo Guhan, he was curious about the mysterious Prince of Xiliang. As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, invincible in a hundred battles, the old monarch of Xiliang is dying, this prince will be Mo Guhan's opponent in the world in the future.

Chu Mubai spent two or three days familiarizing himself with the terrain near the Prince's Mansion, and he found that the guards of the Prince's Mansion were not ordinarily strict, and ordinary people and others could not enter the Prince's Mansion at all. Even the guy who delivered the goods to the house could only deliver the food and clothing needed in the house to the back door, and he was sent away after being accepted by a special person. The affairs of the house are never pretended to outsiders.

Chu Mubai was confident that he could avoid the guards in the palace at night and break into the prince's mansion to find out the truth. However, he didn't know anything about the situation in the palace, lest there be any more ambushes inside. After all, his identity is unusual, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it will cause contradictions between the two countries.

Therefore, he spent several days on end, carefully collecting information about the Prince's Mansion to be prepared. It's a pity that he couldn't find the opportunity to enter the prince's mansion, so he could only take risks.

Chu Mubai worked hard immediately, and his light work was not ambiguous at all. Although the Prince's Mansion was heavily guarded, he still entered the Prince's Mansion without danger under the cover of night.

It's still early, and it's time for dinner.

The Prince's Mansion is very large, but the Prince's dormitory is excellent to find, brightly lit, and people come and go lightly and in an orderly manner.

Chu Mubai hid on the opposite roof, silently, dressed in black and blending with the night.

What he needs to worry about is the secret guards in the house. They may be lurking in very hidden corners, vigilantly protecting the safety of the prince, and if they are not careful, they may become prey in the eyes of the other party.

Therefore, before finding out the truth and reality, Chu Mubai chose to stand still.

The place where he is is very cold and hidden, I don't know what it is, the whole palace is like a white jade carving, fresh and elegant, and it is in the shade of flowers and trees, the environment is quiet, obviously not the residence of the next person, but it is not an idle place such as a warehouse.

From this direction, you can see the dormitory, and although the doors and windows are wide open, you can't see the inside from this angle. I saw the servant rushing in with all kinds of dishes, and then quietly withdrew.

Chu Mubai counted them, and there were more than 20 dishes in total, which showed that the sick prince still had a good appetite and a luxurious life.

He couldn't wait to see the true face of Lushan, he had already tensed his body, slightly arched his waist, and was ready to go.

A bat seemed to be frightened, and suddenly flew up from under the eaves of the opposite house, and flew straight up, and before it could fly as high as the treetops, it fell straight down and fell into the yard.

The people in the courtyard were not surprised at all, and directly picked it up and threw it away.

Chu Mubai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thanks to the fact that he didn't act rashly, otherwise it would have ended up like a bat.

Unexpectedly, this prince's mansion is not only heavily guarded outside, but also has a lot of secret guards placed in the palace to protect the prince's safety. It seems that this prince is very important to Emperor Xiliang.

Chu Mubai didn't dare to move, feeling that he was afraid that he would return in vain today.

No wonder the spies sent by Chang'an to Xiliang knew nothing about the situation of this mysterious prince. He doesn't go out every day, and outsiders can't get close, how can he find out the truth and the truth?

When he was discouraged, he heard someone outside the mansion dragging out his voice: "The princess has arrived!" ”

It's really a narrow road. Chu Mubai complained bitterly in his heart. I tried every possible way to avoid her, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, she didn't come early, she didn't come late, and she came over when she was visiting the prince's mansion at night.

Chu Mubai leaned his body against the glazed tiles, and decided to stay still for the time being, waiting for Li Teng'er to leave before leaving the house.

A sound of prayer alarmed the prince, who was eating, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and greeted him out in person, looking quite heartfelt.

Chu Mubai was separated from him, and he was condescending, he couldn't really see the other party's eyebrows, he only looked at his bearing, or he was really personable and talented.

Li Teng'er was familiar with the road and went straight to the prince's bedroom, and the two brothers and sisters exchanged a few words in the courtyard, and they came straight to Chu Mubai's hiding place.

Chu Mubai has both joy and worry in his heart, happy that he can listen to the two of them up close, and worried that the prince's secret guards are not vegetarians, what if he is aware of his whereabouts?

Li Teng'er's brother and sister talked and laughed all the way, and when they came to the gate of the white jade palace where Chu Mubai was, they paused.

At this time, Chu Mubai saw clearly the prince's eyebrows and eyes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, Sven is beautiful, and his eyebrows and eyes are merry, if he is really a talent, he just looks a little sick.

He vaguely felt that this person was extremely familiar, especially the thrush, especially familiar.

Li Teng'er walked side by side with him, and the two stood together, like golden boys and girls, all of them were carved in pink and jade.

The crown prince turned to the air and ordered: "You all retreat, no one is allowed to get even half a step close to here without the permission of this prince." ”

In the dark night, three voices answered in unison, and then continued to regain quiet, probably not following.

The tight strings in Chu Mubai's heart immediately loosened a little, and at the same time, he also gathered his spirit even more, because the other party withdrew everyone, so mysterious, there must be something important to discuss.

The prince took out the key from his arms, turned around and unlocked the door of the room, entered the room with Li Teng'er one after the other, and then turned around and closed the door.

Chu Mubai couldn't hold back, lightly uncovered the tile in front of him, and leaned down to look down.

He was on the inner beam, and the two of them could not be seen, but they could be faintly heard.

The other party held the red candle in his hand, and from Chu Mubai's position, he could see the figures of the two swaying on the ground, one tall and one short, the male was as tall as a pine, and the female was as delicate as a willow.

"I heard that you returned to the capital a few days ago, why did you come to see me today?"

It was the prince who was asking.

"You know, those people are very curious about the bow and crossbow in my hand, and I always want them to see how powerful it is."

Li Teng'er replied casually, and then changed the topic: "There has been dust on this case, which shows that it has not been cleaned for a long time. ”

"In the summer, the trees are so dense that the house is airtight, and it's really stuffy here, so I rarely come here. Several times, I couldn't help but want my subordinates to cut down the trees that were in the way around me. ”

The prince grumbled.

"You can toss around at will in this house, but only here, you are not allowed to move the slightest!" Li Teng'er's tone was commanding.

The prince didn't speak, and was silent for a while: "You don't seem to be in a very good mood."

"You know what I like most about this place, and you come here often." Li Teng'er softened.

The prince sighed lowly: "As long as you say it, I will naturally remember it, but it is just to tease you." ”

Chu Mubai saw the shadow on the ground, and the prince seemed to stretch out his hand towards Li Teng'er, wanting to stroke her sideburns, but Li Teng'er dodged quietly.

He always felt that the way the two got along was a little weird that couldn't be explained. This kind of intimacy between brothers and sisters is very normal, but the prince always seems to have some grievances in his tone.

"During the time when I was not in the capital, I heard that those people were not honest, can you live in peace in the prince's mansion?" Li Teng'er broke the embarrassment.

"I'm heavily guarded here, and there are secret guards who take turns guarding day and night, what's not to worry about? Even if those people can sneak in, what if they can still be caught? But you took blood ginseng and went straight to Chang'an, those old things were angry, lest they wouldn't be able to come up in one breath one day, and they would lose this life-saving medicine. So I went to the palace to make a fuss together,"

"The chief of the guard said that thanks to your maneuvering, he sent them away in a few words."

"It's a piece of cake," the prince smiled disapprenously: "You returned to Xiliang with three thousand bows and crossbows, were they all stunned?" ”

Li Teng'er sighed lightly: "Now that they have this bow and crossbow in charge, they are afraid, and they must not dare to act rashly for a while, and your prince's mansion can be peaceful for a while." ”

"I don't care, I'm used to it anyway, what's more, this prince is more than enough to deal with a few of them."

The prince said it lightly.
