(238) Imperial Palace Courtyard
Ren Tianxiang didn't know what happened in the imperial study after he left. He wouldn't care about what news Ren Tianxing brought back to Xingheng, because he didn't know that Ren Tianxing had come back at all, and he still regarded his body as a royal body. There was only one thing he cared about right now, and that was that he would soon see the Star Spirit Fall!
He only has Xinglingluo in his heart, no matter how beautiful the courtyard he and Zhang Ying passed by, he won't take a look, he just wants to see Xinglingluo as soon as possible now, and he doesn't have the heart to appreciate anything else.
Obviously, since he and Xing Lingluo were separated, it had only been a day and a half, but now he seemed to be a little stunned by Xing Lingluo, which even he himself was a little frightened.
However, what about the demons? Ren Tianxiang only cared about the falling stars, and he didn't want to think about other people for the time being. Therefore, he followed behind Zhang Ying step by step, and his mind was full of star spirits. Zhang Ying, who led the way in front, couldn't help frowning. Ren Tianxiang has been smirking since he followed him out of the imperial study, and his smile is particularly penetrating. Ren Tianxiang was completely immersed in his own world, and he didn't think about Zhang Ying's feelings at all.
In fact, Zhang Ying doesn't hate Ren Tianxiang, as one of the people who grew up watching Xing Lingluo, he completely agrees with Ren Tianxiang's love for Xing Lingluo. Moreover, when Ren Tianxiang was stopped in front of the gate of Dragon City by Oh Zongjue, he watched silently from the sidelines. It was also Ren Tianxiang who passed this level and let Zhang Ying recognize him.
However, recognition is recognition, and whoever follows such a person who only knows giggles will be very awkward!
Again, in order to protect her good mood, Zhang Ying finally decided to do something. He stopped, turned around, raised his hand and knocked on the head of Ren Tianxiang, who was still walking forward.
Ren Tianxiang suddenly came back to his senses. He suppressed his smile, covered his head in pain, and then asked Zhang Ying, "What are you hitting me for?"
Zhang Ying glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "I hate your expression. Even if you have been recognized by Her Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Princess, you should not show such a stupid expression when thinking about Her Royal Highness, this is disrespectful to Her Royal Highness. ”
Ren Tianxiang shrugged indifferently, but still didn't speak. In fact, he really wanted to refute Zhang Ying, he thought that his sweetheart had nothing to do with this guy? If Ren Tianxiang wasn't very sure that he couldn't beat Zhang Ying, he would have gone up to the latter to theorize. As for now, it's better to bear with it first, and the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late!
And Zhang Ying saw that Ren Tianxing wanted to speak and stopped, and soon understood the latter's careful thoughts. He sneered softly, and quickened his way to Starling's residence.
Zhang Ying walked very fast, and his steps were also huge, and Ren Tianxiang almost had to trot to catch up with him.
Fortunately, they were not far from Xinglingluo's residence, and it wouldn't be too long for Ren Tianxiang to follow Zhang Ying like this.
When Zhang Ying stopped in front of a courtyard, Ren Tianxiang was only breathing a little short. It's not a big deal, just take a few more deep breaths.
Zhang Ying didn't look at Ren Tianxiang, so he stepped forward directly and knocked on the door knocker.
"Who is it?" As soon as the sound of the knocker fell, an old voice came from the small courtyard.
Ren Tianxiang's heart suddenly froze. His Majesty the Emperor obviously asked Zhang Ying to bring himself to Xinglingluo, but where did he bring himself? This old voice is clearly impossible for Xinglingluo! So what is Zhang Ying bringing himself here for? Could it be ...... They're going to kill people!
As soon as he thought of this, Ren Tianxiang immediately became vigilant. He knew that Zhang Ying was very dissatisfied because of the matter of Mo Ying, and at the top of the Broken Intestine Cliff, he really felt the killing intent from Zhang Ying. He believed that if it hadn't been for Xing Lingluo to stop him that day, he might have been beaten by Zhang Ying.
Of course, Ren Tianxiang is not afraid of Zhang Ying's move now. Xuanyuan Qingtian will not let his precious apprentice have an accident in the palace for the time being, don't forget, Ren Tianxiang has an anti-scale necklace on his body! If Zhang Ying really wants to do it, it is still a question whether he can break the enchantment created by the anti-scale necklace.
As for Zhang Ying, how would he know what Ren Tianxiang was thinking. After hearing the old man's inquiry, he replied very respectfully: "Nie Lao, it's me, Zhang Ying. ”
Ren Tianxiang looked at Zhang Ying in horror at this moment. He knew what Zhang Ying's identity was. Among the entire shadow guards, only a few are the emperor's absolute cronies, and they are all noble and powerful blades without exception, and Zhang Ying is one of them. But now, Zhang Ying actually made a respectful gesture to the old man in the courtyard! So, what should this old man be?
"It's Zhang Ying. The old man in the courtyard laughed twice and said slowly, "I know what you're here for, so let people in." ”
Zhang Ying pushed open the courtyard door, saluted the old man in the courtyard, and said, "Since the old man already knows, then I won't bother." Your Majesty has no one around, so I'll go back first. ”
After speaking, he saluted the old man again, turned around and left, leaving Ren Tianxiang standing alone in front of the door of the small courtyard.
Until now, without the shield of Zhang Ying, Ren Tianxiang could see the old man in the courtyard.
The old man sat in the gazebo of the courtyard, with a flask and two small wine glasses on the table in front of him. He was dressed in a dark blue robe, and although his hair was gray and his face was full of wrinkles, he was in good spirits, without the slightest sluggishness of an old man.
Ren Tianxiang vaguely felt that he had seen this old man somewhere. The old man gave him a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
When the old man saw Ren Tianxiang standing at the door of the small courtyard, he was not annoyed, but just beckoned to the latter, showing a kind smile: "What are you doing in a daze? Come in, have a glass of wine with the old man." ”
Ren Tianxiang reacted at this time, and hurriedly trotted to the old man's side, saluted the old man, and said, "Hello senior." ”
The old man nodded with a smile, in response to Ren Tianxiang. Then, he picked up the wine jug and filled the wine glass in front of Ren Tianxiang with wine.
"Senior, this is ......" Ren Tianxiang was puzzled, he was obviously here to find Xing Lingluo, what did this senior pour wine for him?
Listening to Ren Tianxiang's inquiry, the old man added wine to himself, and said casually: "After drinking this glass of wine, I will allow you to go to see Ling'er." ”
As soon as he heard that he could see the star spirit falling, where would Ren Tianxiang hesitate? Without saying a word, he picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the glass.
The old man looked at Ren Tianxiang's posture, obviously stunned for a moment, and his hand holding the wine glass shook unnaturally twice. Then, he put down his wine glass and laughed, "Okay, okay! Ling'er is in the bedroom, you can go find her yourself." ”
Ren Tianxiang nodded, saluted the old man again, thanked him, and prepared to walk towards the courtyard house. Only then did he feel the burning in his throat, as if a fire was burning in his chest. A smell of alcohol rushed from his abdomen to his head, making his brain go blank.
Ren Tianxiang was obviously defenseless against this sudden feeling, and a surge of alcohol surged up, and he almost fell to the ground.
Struggling to stabilize his figure, Ren Tianxiang heard the old man say leisurely in the gazebo: "Heh, it's good to be young." ”
