Niu Kelian turned around and saw Xiangye and a group of subordinates with sticks, all of whom looked fierce and vicious.

Especially Xiangye, he had a strange smile on his face, very reluctant, tense, and he knew that he was very angry at a glance.

Seeing this, Niu Kelian's legs weakened, and he naturally knelt down, and the cold sweat that had just been wiped on his forehead suddenly came out again.

Because of nervousness and panic, Niu Kelian's voice trembled slightly: "Master...... What do you do here? ”

This kind of formation is good, he is very familiar with it. It's going to die!

Xiang Ye kept sneering, laughing until the temperature around him dropped.

it! Niu Kelian felt that his heart didn't know him, and it seemed like he was about to jump out of his chest. I'm afraid his life will have to be explained here.

But he didn't want to die! Anyway, it's already a dead end, so it's better to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. He wants to gamble, maybe there is still a chance of life, he decided to use all the learning of his life, it doesn't matter what he cheats, as long as he can avoid this catastrophe.

Xiang Ye reiterated the question: "Niu Kelian, what were you doing just now?" ”

Niu Kelian pretended that nothing had happened, he tried to calm himself down, but he was still irrepressibly terrified. He replied tremblingly: "Just now, Sun Shan came to tell me, saying that you are looking for me, master." I'm about to go to the study to see you. ”

You can't tell the truth even if you die!

Xiang Ye asked knowingly, "Oh, is it?" The old man just saw you walk out of the bushes, what's the matter? ”

He deliberately wanted to play with Niu Kelian, but in fact, he saw the scene where Niu Kelian stunned Sun Shan. He was here on purpose to arrest him.

"Master, I just heard movement in the bushes, and I thought it was a private meeting between the maid and the maid in the house, so I went over to take a look." Niu Kelian tried his best to hide his emotions, but he couldn't hide the trembling from fear.

Xiangye smiled and didn't poke him, but just asked, "Then what do you see?" ”

Niu Kelian was so anxious that he replied heartlessly: "No, I didn't see anything." ”

Xiangye restrained the sneer on his face, suddenly looked angry, and shouted violently: "Niu Kelian! You are so bold that you dare to deceive the old man! ”

Niu Kelian was sweating profusely and panicked, but he still held on: "Master, what are you talking about?" I have always been loyal to you, and I will never dare to disobey you! Even if I lend ten dares, I will not dare to deceive you. ”

Xiangye stared at Niu Kelian closely, and his eyes were about to pop out: "What does the old man say, will you not understand?" Today in the court, the old man thinks that something is wrong with you and wants to try you. Unexpectedly, you really betrayed the old man. ”

Niu Kelian's face instantly turned pale. It turned out that Xiangye had already known that there was no one in the garden just now, it was just a trap.

With Xiangye's shrewdness and ability, he will see Niu Kelian's thoughts, and Niu Kelian is not strange at all. However, to Niu Kelian's surprise, since Xiangye had already seen it, why did he go around in circles with him like this? You must know that Xiangye has always been ruthless, and if he doesn't like it, he will definitely kill the other party indiscriminately. Where will the other party be given the opportunity to argue?

Why did Xiangye come to this set? Why did you design him? Niu Kelian's brain was a mess, and in a trance, he felt that Xiangye was giving him a chance.

The consciousness of survival dominates him: "Master, I really didn't betray you!" In court, I've been helping you speak. ”

Xiang Ye's expression suddenly became vivid, and he seemed to grit his teeth and said, "Niu Kelian, do you know that you are an old man who is important." Xia Hao, after Xu Xiucai's death, the old man cultivated you with all his might, but he never thought that you would repay the old man like this. ”

With a sad expression on his face, Xiangye looked distressed.

At this time, Niu Kelian somewhat understood why Xiangye didn't directly kill him, but continued to go around in circles with him. Dare to be affectionate, he still has use value in the eyes of Xiangye?

He was shaken for a moment, if he didn't want to run away just now, wouldn't Xiangye want his life? Soon, he cut off the germ of the idea, it had happened, everything had been done, and he had no room for regret.

Wait, he thought about it, and analyzed it from the other side, it seemed that there was still room for maneuver in Xiangye's words. As long as he resists death and doesn't admit his betrayal, at least, he hasn't betrayed Xiangye.

Niu Kelian struggled to squeeze out a smile, and this painful smile consumed a lot of his energy. He forced a smile and said: "Master, you have the grace of reinvention for me, and I will repay you well as a cow and a horse." ”

Xiangye shook his head and said in a regretful tone: "Niu Kelian, the old man appreciates your knowledge of current affairs. It's a pity that you and the old man are not of the same heart, and the old man can't keep you! ”

Is this what it means to be wanted?

Niu Kelian's heart was deeply tormented, entangled, regretful, panicked, helpless, etc., and a variety of emotions were intertwined. This kind of torture made him extremely uncomfortable, and he could hardly bear it.

He did regret it a little, he thought that Xiangye was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but now Xiangye's words clearly had a trace of emotion. Xiangye still values him, and he will feel a little sorry for him,

At least, his status is higher than Xu Xiucai.

He retreated in his heart, he didn't want to run away, his will began to waver, he wanted to follow Xiangye to get along well.

He thought that he was just a small mistake, and he didn't make a big mistake, as long as he concealed Sun Shan's affairs, everything could start over.

So, Niu Kelian said sincerely: "Master, where do you want to go." I am with you, if you didn't help back then, how could I be where I am today. ”

Xiangye's perfunctory expression was lost, and he said bitterly: "Niu Kelian, you have disappointed the old man too much!" ”

A large group of subordinates next to him, listening to the conversation between the two, probably guessed the specific inside story. They felt that Niu Kelian betrayed Xiangye and lived up to Xiangye's expectations, which was too undeserved. Everyone looked at the white-eyed wolf and looked at Niu Kelian.

"Master, I swear to heaven that I will swear allegiance to you to the death!" In order to survive, Niu Kelian also worked hard, he felt that he had really told all the lies of this life today.

But what can you do if you don't talk about it? If he didn't lie like that, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have a chance to lie in the future. As long as he survives today, he will be able to see the beautiful sunrise for a long time.

"Very good, it seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin!" Xiang Ye gestured to the subordinates beside him, pointed to the bushes and said, "You guys go over and have a look!" ”

Hearing this, Niu Kelian's inner defense line was broken, and he suddenly fell to the ground, shaking like chaff.

The two men, holding the sticks in their hands, walked to the grass.

After a while, Sun Shan, who had been knocked unconscious, was helped out of the bushes. "Master, it's Steward Sun, he's still angry, it seems that he just fainted."

Xiangye was about to ask Niu Kelian what to explain about this, but he didn't expect Niu Kelian to close his eyes and faint.

He took a sip and scolded angrily: "Useless thing." ”

At this time, Niu Kelian really fainted, not pretending to faint. He originally had a glimmer of life for survival, but as soon as he saw them help Sun Shan out, he knew that everything was over. The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable.

After a long period of nervousness and fear, his nerves collapsed, and he was suddenly afraid of what time it was, and he couldn't bear such a lot of pressure, so he fainted.

Before fainting, Niu Kelian understood Xiangye's true intentions, which was to kill chickens and monkeys, or to tease him. It's like a cat playing with a mouse, Xiang Ye obviously wanted to cut him, but he said something patiently.

This play is to elevate the prime minister and belittle Niu Kelian. Xiangye is obviously a benefactor, but Niu Kelian has become an ungrateful and betrayed his master.

There was a subordinate who was anxious to show himself, and when he saw Niu Kelian motionless, he took the first step to walk up to Niu Kelian and probed his snort: "Master, he didn't die, he just fainted." ”

How can it be so easy to be scared to death!

In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.

At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.

Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

Xu Guifei fainted.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.

"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.

"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.

Emperor Hong painted a portrait of a twenty-four-year-old man according to his own appearance, handed it over to Feng Nanyang, appointed Feng Nanyang as the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang a sword.

"Emperor, where are you?" Emperor Hong sighed.

In the twenty-fifth year of Xingde, the country of the Great West was peaceful and peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Wunan Mountain in the northwest of Fengcheng, the imperial capital, after the heavy rain, the sky is exceptionally clear, the sun has tilted westward, and the clear blue sky has disappeared. In the afterglow of the sunset, the mountains still maintain the freshness and coolness after the rain, just like "after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn." The realm.

Wunan Mountain, a mountain full of bamboo, a boundless sea of bamboo. At the highest place on the top of the mountain, there is a secluded and elegant dwelling, all made of bamboo, divided into two layers up and down, hanging a plaque, with four big characters "Wunan Villa" written on it. There is a large yard in front of the bamboo house, and the yard is planted with exotic grasses. When the breeze blows, you can smell the aroma of flowers and plants.
