After returning to Fengyi Palace, Zhiman suddenly asked Qingqing and me, "Two sisters, but curious why I am so tolerant of Emperor Pingyu?"

Qingqing didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Yes, according to Lord Wugong and your identity, why do you have to do this?"

Zhiman shook her head, "Many of today's words were taught to me by my master. ”

Qingqing asked again, "Why?"

"To save your life. Zhiman replied to Qingqing with what I had just said, and Qingqing thought it was funny and laughed out loud.

Zhiman's expression was serious, and I knew that she was so cautious that she was definitely not joking, so I asked her, "But what did you hear?"

Zhiman nodded, still with a solemn face, "My master has always been suspicious of Emperor Pingyu, and has been looking for evidence, according to her revenge temperament, I am afraid that she will make a black hand to Fengyi Palace." ”

"I don't believe she dares to do this, even if she really comes, she won't be afraid, sister, I will protect you. ”

Qiu An also stepped forward at this time and said, "The guards around Emperor Pingyu today are all eye-catching, and they are all top masters, so let's not take it lightly." ”

I took Zhiman's hand and asked, "How could Emperor Pingyu suddenly tear her face with us?"

Zhiman shook her head, "I don't know the specifics, and my master didn't elaborate, but Emperor Ji has always been a person who has revenge." ”

Qingqing had never been afraid of Emperor Ji before, but now she was a little flustered, and asked me, "Sister, what can I do about this?"

I didn't answer Qingqing directly, but asked Qiu'an, "Where is Lord Helan now?"

Qiu An was stunned for a moment when he saw that I suddenly changed his words, but he still answered me truthfully: "I heard from the people below that after Lord Helan returned to Fengyi Palace, he locked himself up alone, and he didn't open anyone who knocked on the door, I don't know what's wrong." ”

"Aunt Qiu'an's words are right, and I have listened to what people have said. Qingqing didn't understand Helan Mingshan's reaction, and asked me again, "Sister, what's wrong with Lord Helan?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my majesty has been extinguished today, and my heart is not happy. I replied to her with an understatement.

"Helan is a seven-foot man, why can't he think about it like this. Qingqing continued to mumble.

I met Qiu'an and smiled, the elm pimple in Helan Mingshan has not let Qingqing know his mind until now. And Qingqing is too, the head does not pass through the brain, and he can't see other people's minds clearly.

Helan Mingshan has not always been unable to think about it, and when he was finally willing to walk out from the guards of Fengyi Palace and came outside, I asked him to come over, as for the reward I gave him, it was naturally arranged a long time ago, and it was all Qiu'an who had already been sent to the north of the imperial city, Helan Mingshan's residence.

Helan Mingshan followed Qiu'an to Qingxuan Palace, and I said to him with some embarrassment: "My lord and Qiu'an have suffered some grievances today, and they should have rested well. ”

"The subordinates don't dare. Helan Mingshan was a little flattered and replied respectfully to me.

I asked him straight to the point: "Your Excellency has been depressed since you came back today, and you don't know what to do?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that I am not doing well, I am entrusted by the princess, and I don't protect Aunt Qiu'an, so I blame myself very much. ”

"What Princess Ben wants to hear is the truth. ”

"That's the truth!"

Helan Mingshan suddenly made a loud voice, he himself was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he found that he was talking to me, and knelt down in a hurry: "Weichen is in a hurry, and I hope the princess will forgive me." ”

"It's okay," I looked at the flustered Helan Mingshan, and said indifferently: "Since the adults are fine, then it's all right." ”

Helan Mingshan looked like he wanted to say something, I knew he wanted to say, but there were many unspeakable secrets, so he asked him tentatively, "Those masters who followed Emperor Pingyu today, do you know what the origin is?"

"I know," Helan Mingshan's voice became lower, with a solemn look in his eyes, "Those people should also be regarded as hermits." ”

"However, the cultivation of these guards today is not low," I continued to ask as I looked at Lord Dutchman, "much higher than the Heavenly Hermit I saw last time." ”

Helan Mingshan nodded and snorted, "What the princess said is very true, although what I saw these two times are all hermits, they are very different. ”

“......？”

In the past, I was surprised when I heard the existence of the Heavenly Hermit, but now I heard that the Heavenly Hermit is different from the Heavenly Hermit, and I was speechless for a while, just looking at Helan Mingshan and waiting for him to continue.

Helan Mingshan told me that the Heavenly Hermit is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the guards I saw last time belong to the lower branch, a total of four groups, and the one I saw today belongs to the middle branch, there are two groups, one group is specially used by the Pingyu Emperor, and the other is sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and there is the most powerful, the upper branch of the Heavenly Hermit, there is only one group, as for who to serve, it depends on who the leader of the Heavenly Hermit obeys, and this group of the upper branch directly obeys the orders of their Heavenly Hermit.

"There is such an existence in the Heavenly Hermit, and the upper branch is naturally under the orders of His Majesty the Human Emperor. After listening to Helan Mingshan's explanation, I opened my mouth to guess.

Helan Mingshan's eyes flashed with hesitation, he didn't say yes, he didn't say no, he just looked at me with some apprehension.

I suddenly realized that if Helan Mingshan could know so much about the Heavenly Hermit, then he would definitely be inseparable from the Heavenly Hermit.

Helan Mingshan seemed to have insight into my thoughts, and his face became more and more unnatural.

"Don't worry too much, since ancient times, heroes don't ask where they come from, I won't care about your previous background, and I won't care about what you have done before, as long as you are loyal to me, I will always keep you by my side, the so-called time to see people's hearts, you and we have shared hardships, this princess believes in you." ”

Helan Mingshan heard me say this, the expression on his face relaxed, he took a few steps back and made a big bow with me again, knelt on the ground and said to me: "Wechen Xie Gongzhu forgiveness, Wechen's past is not intentionally hidden from the princess, but the past has been widely implicated, and Wechen needs to find a suitable time to inform the princess of the past." ”

After Helan Mingshan left, Qiu An came out from the depths of the house and said to me: "Today, when those subordinates of Emperor Pingyu detained me and Lord Helan there, although Lord Helan did not resist, I saw that his eyes were wrong, and it seemed that there was fear and hatred, and I thought that he had some trouble with the Heavenly Hermit. ”

"I don't care if he is not a festival, as long as he is loyal to me, then if someone harms him, I will definitely refuse, and you are the same. ”

Qiu An was a little moved, "It has always been a blessing for slaves to be able to follow the princess." ”

"You don't need to say thank you, by the way, I have to strengthen the defense in Fengyi Palace recently, I was just puzzled that Emperor Pingyu's difficulties today seem to be a bit out of nowhere, but what Zhiman said is true, then I really can't guarantee that those powerful hermits of Emperor Pingyu will come to assassinate. ”

Qiu An knew the seriousness of the matter, and after saying "yes", he went to run around the entire Fengyi Palace and arrange many matters.
