He looked at me a little strangely. Just like the words he said in the Golden Horse Palace.

Yu Jian had to admit that Prince Zaima did not have the arrogance and style common to princes and nobles, and he was a very good person. Xianglong's lingua franca* is skillful, and it is not much different from a boxer. Zaima claimed that this was his first time in the Dragon Kingdom, and he was fortunate enough to visit the two major cities of Golden Citadel and the Dragon, which were much more prosperous than the royal cities of the Moro Kingdom.

Yu Jian noticed that whenever Dai Lan was mentioned, the prince's eyes flashed eagerly. He suspected that the prince was suffering from an incurable illness like him, and was destined to endure the torment of longing for the rest of his life.

The prince didn't seem to believe the accusations of adultery against Dailan, but it wasn't without effect on him. At least he suspected that there might be a very close relationship between me and Dailan. And he was a little jealous.

Just like I was jealous of Qin Ming.

Anyway, we're people with similar fates. Although we believe in different gods, fate will pave the same adventure path before us.

It's an all-or-nothing operation. To fail is to die. Prince Zaima seemed unfazed, and did not take into account the dangers that might arise from defeat. "This is my personal act, and it has nothing to do with my father or my country, and the whole kingdom of Moro knows that their third prince is a man who does his own thing. ”

I'm afraid others won't think so. "But if you have any three strengths and two weaknesses, His Majesty will be sad and sad. ”

"I am only the third son of my father. Zaima smiled. The prince, like most of the Moros, was not very tall, but he was a beautiful man in the crowd. He is the same age as Dai Lan and has never been married, but he is ready to lose his head for a married woman in a foreign country.

In this respect, we are so similar.

"Looks like you're pretty good. You are accustomed to striding with your head held high when you are a swordsman, but as my servant you cannot lift your head, and you must be careful not to walk too far. Keep your hands at your sides, you forget them once in a while. The prince commented on Yu Jian's performance, "Of course, those people in the prison won't pay too much attention to you, but we can't make any mistakes. ”

The prince relieved him of Qinglian's disguise and put on another disguise. Now he was a valet of the Moro royal family, with sallow skin, a beard, two long, curved eyebrows, and light gray eyes. He also changed into a costume of a Moro servant, with white tassels hanging from the elbows of the hem and sleeves of his robe, and tassel charms on his long leather boots. "I don't make masks, but my makeup can turn you into a different person. You don't have to worry about what will show on your face unless you put your name on your forehead. ”

Yu Jian looked in front of the mirror, and indeed became another person, probably no one would associate the person in the mirror with a dead person who was torn apart by a car.

"It is not easy to convince the young lady, this is the most difficult step. You should let her know who you are if necessary, and maybe she will listen to you. "The prince repeatedly expounded to him the most crucial part of their plan, yes, he must be able to, or they will fail.

After feeling that everything was ready, Zayimo set off when the time of the sword was approaching, and he had already contacted the great general Long Yingtian, who would take care of the torture pavilion and allow him to enter the prison again to visit Dai Lan. "Your Majesty and the Great General have been to the land of Moro to help my father fight the war before, do you know?"

Yu Jian knows. That was five years ago, when the king of Moro, Tanyuko, asked his powerful neighbor to send troops to quell the rebellion at home. At that time, the prince was only sixteen years old, and Dailan was still unmarried, and he still had unrealistic fantasies.

Time teaches us to be human. Be a person who faces reality and throws away illusions.

"That year, the general, that is, His Majesty the current Dragon Monarch personally led his troops across the sea, and I went into battle with him, and he agreed, saying that I was a brave man. But no, I followed the vanguard troops, and I rode side by side with General Meng Yunhe to charge into battle, and I killed eight enemies. When he said this, the prince's face was obviously excited, and Yu Jian suddenly felt that he had a childish air. Brave and full of fantasy. He imagined himself as a true warrior, galloping across the battlefield to take heads, and riding into the most powerful places in a foreign land to rescue a felon. It may all come from childlike fanaticism, and if this operation is successful, Yu resolutely rethinks what courage is.

"You're so brave. ”

The prince smiled like a child, "You too." I was terrified when I heard that you were alone through the Great Wilderness. The children of the Isles of Splendor know that there is a blood-haired Gaza in the Bloodthirsty Camp, who is an immortal monster. You really don't want to talk about the story of Storm Top?"

That's out of a mission, my job. Yu Jian said lightly: "That's not worth mentioning, it's far from being as exciting as the prince going into battle to kill the enemy." I failed in my mission and lived up to the expectations of my ancestors. ”

"You have long since made a name for yourself, and we Moros will consider you a legend because of your safe return from the top of the storm. "Aside from anything else, General Meng Yunhe was formidable on the battlefield, and he was invincible and terrified of the rebels." I'm proud to have fought alongside him, and today I'm fortunate to be working with another great man. I've won before and I will do today. ”

"We're going to make it. Yu Jian responded and expected.

The prince was seated in a sedan chair of eight, Yu Jian followed by him, and the other three princes' personal guards, and when they arrived at the prison, it was already after the stove time, and they encountered unexpected trouble at the door.

The prison warden, Cao Yuan, was a fat man with a very suspicious heart, and his fox fur made him even more bloated and bulky, and his face without eyebrows always looked very uncomfortable. It wasn't the first time he had seen the third prince of the Moro Kingdom, but behind his cautious smile there was a question: "Your Royal Highness, the rules of the heavenly prison are the same as the last time you came......

Zaima frowned, "The last time I came here, the Abyss Realm Demon hadn't invaded the Mortal Realm yet. Aren't you afraid of those things, my lord?"

Cao Yuan grinned, his lips as thick as sausages: "The Abyss Realm Demon will not appear in the Heavenly Prison, I'm not afraid." ”

"But I'm afraid. I need someone around to feel safe. Zaima said coldly.

"My people will accompany His Highness throughout the whole process, please rest assured. ”

Zaima pointed to his four guards and said, "Do you know them?"

"I had the pleasure of getting acquainted today. ”

"But I don't know the adults, and I need the close protection of my powerful warriors. "Not strangers. ”

"Your Highness, please don't forget that this is a heavenly prison, and the heavenly prison has the rules of a heavenly prison. Miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter, otherwise I can't afford to blame it. Cao Yuan smiled humbly, but did not back down.

"Don't forget, sir, who gave me permission to go to prison. You've made things difficult for me, but I remember that. ”

Cao Yuan blinked and thought about it slightly, "Then you can bring one in, and the other three have to stay outside." Your Highness, this is an exception for distinguished guests like you, don't make it difficult for your lower officials. ”

"Hmph! That's how you treat your guests?" said Zaima, "Forget it, I don't care about you. He turned back to Yu Jian and said, "You come with me." The three of you just stay here and wait for me to come out. ”

Cao Yuan led the way with two jailers and led the two through the interrogation room behind the long corridor, followed by the rest area of the jailers. Cao Yuan's body was fat, and his steps were very heavy when he walked, and he made a loud echo when he stepped on the empty corridor. He chatted as he walked: "Your Highness, you care so much about the eldest princess of Niwang, you are really affectionate and righteous." ”

It's a word in the word. "This is the first time I have come to your country, and I am very well taken care of by the eldest princess of Nioh in the Golden Castle. Don't you boxers have a saying, "If you win a drink, you will get a pool?" I'm going to go back to China in the near future, and though this happened to her, after all, I'm gracious, so let's take a look at it at parting. ”

"That's, that's, it's a pool. His Royal Highness's generosity is really admirable. ”

When he arrived at the prison area, Cao Yuan stopped and instructed the jailer, "Go and open the door for His Highness." Then wait here, and when Your Highness comes out after a visit, you go and lock the door. He turned his head and said, "The lower officials will not disturb the reunion of your old friends." Your Highness, please. He bowed and gestured, smiling flatteringly.

Zayimo led Yu Jian and followed the jailer inside. Yu Jian can be said to be familiar with the way in the prison, and this is naturally not a strange place for the Saber Eight Guards. In the past, royal clansmen or important ministers of the court came here when they were convicted, and His Majesty Long Jun also came to visit them in person, so he was inevitably accompanied by the sword and eight guards.

Before Nioh died, he had made an amnesty for the prisoners in the prison, and before Dai Lan came in, the last "honored guest" was Xi Yuan, the uncle of the country, but Xi Yuan didn't stay long before being released. Now it's empty, and only Dai Lan is left. The last time Zaima came to visit, he had a clear understanding of the situation here, and that was why he was very confident.

Arriving at the door of Delong Dailan's room, the jailer took out a large bunch of keys, pulled out one of them and opened the door. The heavy iron door scraped against the ground and made a jerky sound. Yu Jian eagerly looked in, only to see that the white walls were clean and tidy, the crystal lamps hung on them emitted a bright but not dazzling light, the ground was covered with delicately made crimson, black and purple dyed blankets, and there was a dark brown wooden bed against the wall, Long Dailan was sitting at the head of the bed, the goose-yellow warm quilt covered her chest, looking at the visitor. Her face was full of tiredness and sadness, and it seemed that she had not recovered from the sad news of her father-in-law's death.

"Your Royal Highness, you are here. Her voice was weak, as if she had not recovered from a serious illness.

"It doesn't seem convenient, we'll wait for you to change your clothes. Zaima stepped back from the room, intending to close the door.

"No, I don't. Long Dailan put down the warm quilt, she was wearing a thick dark brown coat, "I haven't planned to fall asleep yet, I'm just a little tired." Her eyes were sloppy, and the usual clear and refined charm was gone.

Yu Jian noticed that there was a dinner plate on the ground next to the door, and the food on it seemed to be intact. It was dinner that had been delivered not long ago, and she clearly had no appetite.

"Young lady, mourning. Prince Zaima said very softly. Yu Jian followed behind him, keeping a certain distance, he hung his head, put his hands at his side, and tried not to look at the person on the bed. "My father and brother were very sad to hear the news of the Grey Fire. Having been hit by the death of a loved one after another, I can't imagine how strong you need to be to stand up, especially in a place like this......"

"Your Highness, this is the dragon god's test for me. Long Dailan sat on the edge of the bed, she was wearing a pair of light green cotton pants, and stretched out her feet into the cotton shoes placed on the side of the bed. "Thank you for coming to see me, Your Highness. Have you seen my mother-in-law?"

"Madame was very sad, and the gray fire hit her hard. But she still misses you. Zaima took a few steps forward to keep his voice low, "She wants to take you back to the Golden Castle." ”

"She's always thinking about me, she told me the last time she came. I can't go back. Long Dailan's face showed bitterness, "I can't participate in my father-in-law's kneeling, I hope he will forgive me in the upper realm." ”

"Young lady, I'm here to get you out of here. Zaima's voice was as low as a whisper, and as he spoke, he took off his mink coat, revealing a tight-fitting brown suit and a dark gray cloak on his back. The cloak looked coarse, not of the finest fabric, and did not fit the status of a prince.

Zaima unfastened the buckle on his shoulder, took off his cloak, gently placed it on the bed, and said to Long Dailan, who didn't know what he meant, "We are short on time, so we must act quickly. Next, what do I say and what do you do. ”

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Long Dailan looked at him suspiciously, "Don't risk it for me. This will cause a lot of trouble for both your father and your country. ”

Ignoring her, Zaima continued, "Put on a lighter garment, and put on this cloak. Do as I say, right away. He had a commanding tone, and Yu Jian never felt like a prince. But now he is.

"You have to tell me what's going on. Long Dailan refused to listen to his arrangement. She refused to be put in danger for her, Yu Jian knew her too well, even if she had the opportunity to leave now, if there were relatives and friends who fell into trouble because of this, she would not accept it.

"You can rest assured that everything will be safe and no one will be fine. You know me, I've always cherished my life. Zaima gave her a big smile, "Qinglian is waiting for you, don't ask her to wait too long." ”

"Qinglian ...... too," she was taken aback, "this is not going to work. How could she do such a crazy thing? Your Highness, I can't ......"

"You have to be able to. Zaima was still smiling, but his tone was unquestionable, "We've already started, and it's impossible to stop." You do what I say now, and it's fine, but the longer you delay, the more dangerous Qinglian will be. You don't want to hurt her because of your hesitation. ”

He was scaring her. Qinglian is not in any danger, but if she doesn't say so, Dai Lan probably won't give in.

"You've got to tell me and let me know what's going on. Dailan reached out and touched the cloak.

"I promise you will, you'll know everything soon. Zaima put his mink coat back on, turned back to Jian and said, "Let the young lady change her clothes." ”
