Night falls, and the bleak autumn wind blows all over the land of Yong'an.

Xiao Chen, who left the garden, returned to Yangchen Garden alone, and from afar, Xiao Chen saw Ouyang Xu standing at the gate of the courtyard wearing a cloth robe, and the autumn wind blew Ouyang Xu's thin corners, but he was still motionless like a stone statue.

Throughout the day, Ouyang Xu almost didn't move, Xiao Chen smiled slightly, and suddenly understood why Ouyang Xu was able to get Bai Qi's reuse, even if he followed Bai Qi's orders to perform tasks in the palace, he was still so meticulous, I'm afraid there is no master who doesn't like this kind of obedient minion.

Slowly walked up to Ouyang Xu, and seeing Xiao Chen coming, Ouyang Xu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Waving his hand, Xiao Chen said meaningfully: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so vain." ”

Raising his head, Ouyang Xu glanced at Xiao Chen meaningfully, then lowered his head again and said: "I am a subordinate by the side of the general, and now I am still a subordinate when I come to Yong'an Palace, and the prince deserves this ceremony." ”

Ouyang Xu insisted, Xiao Chen naturally didn't bother to excuse himself, smiled coldly, Xiao Chen said: "It's still early at night, take a walk with me?" ”

Ouyang Xu bowed slightly: "The prince has an order, and he has no choice." ”

The two walked aimlessly along the wide road of the palace, Xiao Chen walked in front of him, without saying a word, Ouyang Xu bowed down and followed behind him, also without speaking.

Climb Xuanwu Mountain, walk up to Guanshan Pavilion, stand in the pavilion, and take in most of the grand scenery of Yong'an.

Located in the highest part of Xuanwu Mountain, Guanshan Pavilion can be regarded as one of the most special places in the palace, every New Year's Festival, the old prince Xiao Ding will take Xiao Chen to sit in Guanshan Pavilion.

Xiao Chen still remembers that in this Guanshan Pavilion, Xiao Ding once said to his young self earnestly: "Chen'er, as the prince of Yong'an, you can't just sit on a stable and comfortable throne all day long, and you have to look at the place you are guarding at any time, only when you really understand how big it is, can you know how heavy the burden on your body is." ”

Looking along the Guanshan Pavilion, you can just see the Yongtai Restaurant in the distance, and vaguely, you can also hear the noisy gongs and drums and firecrackers, thinking that the five princes are celebrating Bai Qi's "extermination" of the traitors and made a "great achievement".

Xiao Chen couldn't help but think, how can the truth of a scholar be able to explain all the twists and turns in it?

Suddenly, his face turned slightly cold, and Xiao Chen didn't look back and said:

"Are you afraid of death?"

Ouyang Xu nodded truthfully and said, "I'm afraid!" ”

Xiao Chen said again: "I'm afraid that if you come again, your master Bai Qi will leave you by my side, so I'm not afraid that I will kill you in anger?" ”

Ouyang Xu was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen's eyes were still looking into the distance, leaving only an indifferent back to himself.

Shaking his head, Ouyang Xu said softly:

"The duty of the subordinates is to protect the prince, and as for other things, the subordinates don't care."

Xiao Chen turned his head, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "You don't care about your life?" ”

Ouyang Xu lowered his head: "My subordinates don't understand the meaning of the prince's words. ”

With a chuckle, Xiao Chen said loudly: "Okay, if you don't understand, this king will make it clear to you." ”

"You should know that Han Feng and I are close friends, and if you kill Han Feng, what do you think I will do to you?"

Ouyang Xu showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and quickly regained his composure and said:

"Will the prince kill me?"

"Yes!"

In an instant, Ouyang Xu's brows furrowed slightly, and a murderous aura instantly diffused from him, looking at Xiao Chen with his back to him, Ouyang Xu's eyes showed a touch of cruelty, as long as he was willing, he could kill Xiao Chen in a moment, after hesitating for a moment, Ouyang Xu let out a long sigh again, restrained the killing intent on his body, and lowered his head again.

"Why don't you do it?" Xiao Chen opened his mouth and asked, "If you make a move, with your skills, you will kill me until you are caught." ”

Looking at Xiao Chen, who had his back to him and spoke indifferently, Ouyang Xu raised his head suddenly, his face showed a deep solemnity, I don't know why, at this moment, Ouyang Xu suddenly had a cold feeling like falling into an ice cave, you know, this feeling, he has only experienced it in Bai Qi in his life.

Ouyang Xu was suddenly a little glad that he didn't do it, he had a feeling that if he had just done it, the person who died must be himself.

Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Xu said: "Now I am responsible for guarding the safety of the prince, that is the prince's subordinates, the prince wants to kill me, I naturally have nothing else to say." ”

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth hooked up a sneering color and said, "Bai Qi sent you, but he didn't see the wrong person." ”

Ouyang Xu lowered his head and did not speak.

Walking to the pavilion and sitting down, Xiao Chen pointed to the stone bench on the side and said, "Sit down." ”

There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, although Ouyang Xu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Chen's gourd, he still sat down obediently.

Looking at Ouyang Xu, Xiao Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Do you like Sun Simiao?" ”

Facing Xiao Chen's sudden question, Ouyang Xu's calm face finally showed a look of panic: "Wang ...... Lord Wang, my subordinates don't understand what Lord Wang's words mean. ”

Ouyang Xu tried his best to control himself and calm down, but Sun Simiao's pitiful appearance seemed to be imprinted in his heart, constantly flashing through his mind, which made Ouyang Xu more and more restless for a while.

The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, if it was just a guess before, then now Ouyang Xu's reaction can be regarded as confirming Xiao Chen's thoughts.

Waving his hand, Xiao Chen joked: "Don't you know what this king does?" ”

Xiao Chen's eyes were fixed on Ouyang Xu, as if he wanted to see through everything he thought in his heart.

"Fourteen years of career, crisscrossing the flower field, I have seen more men and women than you have practiced martial arts moves, as early as when I was in Yangchen Garden, I noticed your strange eyes, do you think your little careful thinking can hide from me?"

Seeing that his heart was exposed, Ouyang Xu hurriedly stood up in a panic, bowed to Xiao Chen and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates know that Miss Sun is the person of the prince, and they are fascinated for a while, and they hope that the prince will forgive their sins." ”

"Don't give me those polite words!" Xiao Chen chuckled, looked at Ouyang Xu and said, "Do you know why I said these words to you?" ”

Ouyang Xu glanced at Xiao Chen deeply, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Xiao Chen looked at the dark night sky and muttered, "I heard that after death, people will turn into stars in the sky to protect the people close to them, do you see that lone star in the sky, does it look like a dead Han Feng?" ”

Xiao Chen continued: "Han Feng can't just die, I will definitely avenge his revenge, and the first person I want to kill is you Ouyang Xu." ”

Following Xiao Chen's gaze, a star shone brightly in the night sky.

Glancing at Xiao Chen with a complicated expression, Ouyang Xu said, "If the prince wants to kill me, you can do it now." ”

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen said: "Now in Yong'an, I am the king of Yong'an, killing you, Yong'an will not be peaceful, even if I want to kill you, I have to use my personal identity Xiao Chen, can you understand what I mean?" ”

Ouyang Xu showed a thoughtful look and said, "Is the prince afraid that the general will be held accountable and bring disaster to Yong'an?" ”

Xiao Chen chuckled and said: "That's half right, of course, when I kill you, you can also attack me, if you die by then, I can be regarded as having an explanation for Han Feng." If I die by then, you can take Sun Simiao from Yangchen Garden. That's a good girl, and it's her fate to meet someone who likes her. ”

Ouyang Xu was a little stunned, he never thought that Xiao Chen would say such a thing in front of him.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "I've said everything I want to say, you can go back first." ”

Although there was confusion in his eyes, Ouyang Xu still bowed down and said, "The prince is alone, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”

Xiao Chen smiled, showed a row of white teeth and said, "It's better than fighting with you to be safe that day." ”

Ouyang Xu smiled awkwardly and bowed away.

The starry sky was lonely, and the Guanshan Pavilion was stuck in darkness, a dead silence.

Zhang Gu walked into the pavilion, came to Xiao Chen's side and stood still, and said with an embarrassed face: "I told him, is it really good?" ”

Xiao Chen stretched, leaned on the railing and pretended to sleep: "There are some words that I need to pass on to Bai Qi's ears personally."

"I want to kill people, I want to protect Yong'an, Bai Qi is a smart person, he should be able to understand what I mean."

Zhang Gu said with a sad face: "Then if Bai Qi doesn't plan to reason with the prince, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands." ”

"He won't." Shaking his head, Xiao Chen said firmly: "His biggest enemy will never be Yong'an, and he can't tear his face with me for one person." I understand this truth for everyone, how can he not know that he has the world in his heart? ”

After taking a deep look at Xiao Chen, Zhang Gu suddenly smiled and said: "Everyone else says that the prince has no ambitions and it is difficult to become a climate, but if you want to take a look at it today, it may not be true." ”

Xiao Chen looked at Zhang Gu and smiled: "Grandpa Zhang, you want to make fun of me too?" This is just a simple truth, the relationship between Han Feng and me, Bai Qi knows it well, he killed Han Feng, and it is natural for me to hold a grudge. ”

"Sending someone to protect me is nominally to protect me, but in reality to spy on me and see how I react. He knew that I didn't dare to make a move on him Bai Qi, but I couldn't really do nothing, otherwise others wouldn't say anything, even Shi Cai would look down on me, and I didn't have any city government, so I couldn't hide things in my heart, so I simply opened up with Ouyang Xu and said, I opened the cards to play, I want to know, after Bai Qi knows my plan, will he fight with me Yong'an desperately, or sit back and watch Ouyang Xu die in my hands. ”

Zhang Gu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and a relieved smile quietly appeared on his old face.

"By the way, Grandpa Zhang, have you arranged the people who will do it then?" Xiao Chen asked again.

Zhang Gu nodded and said: "The Qunying Pavilion has dispatched a total of 1,000 people this time, and their strength ranges from three to one grade, of which 990 people are hidden in the shadows and are responsible for guarding the safety of the prince, and another ten first-grade martial artists are responsible for intercepting and killing Ouyang Xu. ”

"Ten first-rank martial artists!" Xiao Chen sighed. This battle can be regarded as worthy of Ouyang Xu.
