In the twilight, there was a black shadow shuttling back and forth on the roof ridge in the east of Yuezhou City.

Most of the pedestrians were walking briskly, hurrying, preparing to return home before dark, and no one cared about his presence.

The shadow looked awkward, with tattered sleeves and blood on its bare arms.

The deepest wound stretched from the wrist to the elbow, and the flesh was blurred, and the bones were visible.

He wanted to stop behind a roof and rest for a while, but when the red sun on the sky peeked out of the clouds, his whole body trembled, and he had to continue to run.

As the forward sweep continues, the pace becomes weaker and weaker...

Until he saw a courtyard, his figure staggered, and he actually stepped on the air.

In this way, he fell into the courtyard, and the whole person was prostrate on the ground, as if he had lost his life.

About thirty years ago, in such a summer sunset, because of his growing body, he was disliked by the "godfathers".

The brothers who served the "godfather" with him on weekdays began to punch and kick him and verbally abuse him.

"In the past, you liked your godfather the most, but have you thought about what happened now?"

"Before, I couldn't even get into my godfather's room when I broke my head, so you can come and go at will, and you don't have a shame... Something that knows no shame! ”

"Zhu Gaojiu... Our good brother, as long as you are gone, the godfather will not be angry anymore! will pity us even more! ”

Just as one person lifted the stone bench next to him, ready to smash it, there was a shout from outside the courtyard gate.

"What are you doing here!"

The people who did it looked for sound, and without exception, they were all too frightened to make a sound.

The young Zhu Gaojiu raised his eyes, his vision was a little blurred, and he could only recognize that the person who spoke was wearing a black python robe, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

But even so, he knew...

The one who came was His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who was most likely to win the crown prince.

The second prince retracted his left hand, put down the hem of the python robe at will, and then walked quickly to the courtyard.

The brothers and comrades who originally surrounded Zhu Gaojiu only took a few breaths, so they respectfully lined up left and right, waiting for the reprimand of the second prince at any time.

However, the harsh words did not stop there.

Zhu Gaojiu watched the black python robe squat down in front of him, and stretched out a hand to him.

"Why don't you resist?"

Zhu Gaojiu shook his head, he was so out of strength that he couldn't say a word.

I have been taking those solid shaping pills since I was a child, and in order to make them show their charm, they are even more weakened on weekdays.

Now that he has been tortured so much, what strength does he have...

Moreover, if you respond at this time, I am afraid that the days ahead will be even more difficult.

How can a chick that is no longer favored afford to be cannibalized by its kind?

The second prince, who did not hear the response, did not leave directly, but turned to look at his brothers.

"Although I don't know what happened, the people, things, and things in this palace are all owned by the royal family, in what capacity do you punish him?"

As soon as these words came out, the people present were even more shocked, and even fell to their knees directly.

It didn't take long for the smell of urine to emanate from beneath him.

When the second prince saw this, he took a step forward with great interest, and looked directly at the person, who was the one who had prepared to pick up the stone bench and smash it at Zhu Gaojiu.

"If no one stopped me before, a human life would have been killed here?"

"Minions don't dare..."

"If this matter is discovered in the future, there is no need to stay in the palace!"

Zhu Gaojiu's face was dead, and the last trace of anger in his eyes was about to pass.

This will hinder the coercion of the second prince and dare not move themselves easily.

But in time, they will get it back from him.

At that point, there is no chance of him surviving...

At the moment when Zhu Gaojiu's eyes were about to close, he saw the black python robe walking towards him again in a trance.

"After that, follow me..."

The rest of the words, he couldn't hear clearly.

But since that day, Zhu Gaojiu has come out of the suffering of the past.

His leader also became powerful because of the palace and became the supreme true dragon above the tens of thousands of people.

And he, Zhu Gaojiu, has also soared and become one of the most favored fathers-in-law.

In the twelfth year of the dawn of the day, his nobleman brought back a strange woman from outside the palace, and from the moment the woman entered the palace, he knew that the two of them were a pair made in heaven.

Because only in front of that woman, his noble person seems to be more like a person, not a "real dragon" in front of tens of thousands of people.

I still remember a spring time, and there was a strong wind in the palace.

He stood quietly at the entrance of the school yard, waiting for the pair to take each other's hands and release a paper kite that they had made themselves.

The paper kite flew very high that day, causing the palace maids to chat about the paper kite in the palace for several days.

If it is put on weekdays, these gossips will be punished.

But this time, he ordered someone to press it down.

It was also the only time, he felt that there should be some fireworks in the palace walls of this deep courtyard.

Because in Zhu Gaojiu's view, only then is their life.

When he entered the palace, he was struggling to survive in pain and suffering.

After meeting a noble person, it is beginning to become dignified and purposeful to live.

looked at the beautiful people in pairs again, which gave him a reason to die for it and give everything for it.

Therefore, he who receives the favor and rejoices in seeing it will bow down and die with all his might.

......

There was a gentle sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the famous and richly dressed sons and brothers.

Looking at the black shadow on the ground that seemed to be out of breath, he shook his head helplessly.

Just as Brother Gongzi raised his hand, the prostrate figure on the ground suddenly burst out, and a hook claw grabbed his neck.

Brother Gongzi, who was choked by Zhu Gaojiu's throat with one hand, did not show any panic.

"Originally, I was worried that Lord Zhu would catch a cold when lying on the ground, and I was about to call my men down to add a few clothes to Grandpa Zhu..."

Zhu Gaojiu said: "Are you trying to kill our family today?" ”

Inform Lin Manliu and the others that it was him who would pass through Yuezhou with Jiang Yanlin.

The person who told Fengxue Daguanlou that it was best to go to the rescue was also him.

From beginning to end, the initiator of this killing outside the city was Zhu Gaojiu's weak scholar who could be strangled to death at any time.

Brother Gongzi grinned, "If Lord Zhu died so easily, how could he live to his current status, right?" ”

Zhu Gaojiu had already become murderous towards the person in front of him, but the hand that could restrain the opponent's neck finally lost his strength.

Brother Gongzi, who "escaped", gasped for breath, and glanced at Lord Zhu in front of him from time to time.

"Master Zhu has done what he wants to do, isn't it time to go back and rest for a while now?"

Zhu Gaojiu first looked around, and finally stopped his gaze on Brother Gongzi.

"Do you really do what you want to do in the future?"

"Before Master Zhu took over, wasn't it always up to me to take charge of the business? Or even if Lord Zhu takes over, it's not the same as me? ”

"If there are other plans, even if our family tries their best, we will kill you..."

Hearing this, Brother Gongzi had a pleasant look on his face, and did not immediately respond to Zhu Gaojiu.

He first slapped his sleeve robe clean, and then saluted Zhu Gaojiu very respectfully.

"Thank you Lord Zhu all these years! The younger generation must do their best. ”

Zhu Gaojiu didn't accept this salute, bypassed Brother Gongzi and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Since you are a courtier, you should do your best, our family is just for yourself!"

For such a reply, Brother Gongzi was not surprised, and still kept saluting and turned to Zhu Gaojiu who was far away.

After passing through the courtyard gate, the dejected figure quickly disappeared into the street.

In this courtyard, only Brother Gongzi is left to stop in it.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and immediately someone flew in from outside the courtyard wall.

Seeing that no order was issued, the man clenched his fists and said, "But do you want to secretly pay attention to Zhu Gaojiu's movements?" ”

Brother Gongzi said: "You don't need to care about this person, just count the people who can still be notified!" ”

"Do you want to give it all up?"

"Well, it's time."

After Brother Gongzi finished speaking, he twisted out a secret letter from his sleeve.

It was the news that came here from Xijing about half a month ago, and several secret letters were also distributed throughout the Northland.

The content is also consistent...

"The summer solstice is approaching, and I haven't seen it for many years, and now I have a banquet in front of the palace, hoping to enter the palace to talk about the past!"

The people who received the letters, without exception, were all feudal kings of various fiefdoms, and they were all relatives of the Xia family.

When they received the letter, some people tried to reply and refused, but when they saw that the payment was different, they changed their minds.

This time, the letter was signed at: The Queen's Seal.

After receiving this letter, the six kings of Yanyang set off from various fiefdoms and went to Xijing to attend the banquet.

Externally, this is the invitation of the two saints today, and they should go there.

Internally, the situation in the hot sun will change, and the six kings will enter the palace just to have a place in the future.

Thinking back to the results that came out of the palace, Brother Gongzi laughed for no reason, and even began to applaud.

"Between heaven and earth, what woman is better than Ah Qi, and even how many men are comparable?"

"Since you are a brother, you know what you want and what you lack, you don't need to operate these things, and my brother will solve them for you!"

The person behind Brother Gongzi respectfully waited for his next words on the side.

"Leave some people to prepare for the things I arranged earlier, and the rest of the people will set off with me after they have finished handling the chores!"

"Order!"

"Let's disperse, deal with the matter in hand as soon as possible!"

As Brother Gongzi's words sounded, first the person behind him quietly disappeared, and then there was a slight sound everywhere on the courtyard wall.

He walked slowly into the house and lit a brazier with charcoal.

First he threw the secret letter into it, and then he kicked the whole brazier to the ground.

The flames began to spread on the bamboo chairs and bamboo benches in the house, like fire snakes with spiritual intelligence, and began to devour everything in the house.

By the time the boy walked out of the house again, a fire was burning behind him.

It's been dormant for some time, and it's finally over.

However, with a stick of incense, a fire broke out in Yuezhou City, and even in the case of the government and the wind and snow Daguanlou fighting together, they were busy until night, and they could be extinguished.
