Maybe it was because of longing, or maybe it was because he couldn't drink enough, Wu Zhan slept soundly this night, and when he woke up, it was already past three quarters.

"Fortunately, I shouldn't ......be on duty today," Wu Zhan sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his aching head and muttered to himself, then looked up at the other people, only to see that the second and third children were still sleeping peacefully, but the eldest seemed to have not returned all night, and there was no trace of sleeping on the bed.

"Shhh...... Where will the boss go if he doesn't return overnight? Wu Zhan immediately got up and wanted to go over to find out, but suddenly a strong smell of blood came to his nose, Wu Zhan suddenly regained his consciousness and immediately entered a state of alert.

Waving his sleeves and covering his nose and walking towards the second child, he found that his face was pale and his lips were purple, and he didn't need to look at it to know that he had already died, and a terrifying knife wound on his neck was a fatal wound, and blood flowed out of his body along the hole, which had already become coagulated and blackened at this time.

looked at the third child again, and saw that he was the same dead as the second child, and he had long been out of breath.

Wu Zhan couldn't help but feel dizzy, and just when he was at a loss, the originally low-hanging curtain was opened, and Feng Xi led a team of guards to break in.

After looking around the situation in the tent, Feng Xi pulled out the sword at his waist with a "cang" sound, pointed at Wu Zhan and shouted: "Bold Wu Zhan, you dare to murder and kill your colleagues in my camp, don't you hurry up and arrest it." ”

Wu Zhan was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "General, you misunderstood, I didn't kill the two of them......

"Shut up!" Feng Xi shouted: "Someone, take Wu Zhan down for me and hand it over to the prison army for review." ”

"Hey!" Two Praetorian guards stepped forward and captured Wu Zhan on the left and right.

Wu Zhan still wanted to defend himself, but Feng Xi was unmoved.

"Take him down for me!" Feng Xi raised his arm and didn't reply.

In this way, Wu Zhan was inexplicably thrown into the military prison, and he was still a palace guard at the last moment, and he became a prisoner in an instant.

Leaning against the cold wall, Wu Zhan tried to recall everything that happened last night on the dim oil lamp, but he was deeply confused, who killed the second and third children? Why didn't the boss come back all night? Is it dead or alive now? How did the murderer sneak into the military tent and commit murder without being discovered? Why didn't the murderer kill me......

Countless questions swirled in Wu Zhan's mind, and finally formed an abyss that engulfed him deeply.

At midnight, there was a faint sound of footsteps from far to near, and finally stopped outside the door of Wu Zhan's cell.

"Click......"

The sound of the key inserted into the copper lock exploded like thunder, and Wu Zhan had already turned over and sat up, putting on a posture to meet the enemy.

"Squeak!"

The heavy cell door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Wu Zhan.

"Master?" Wu Zhan shouted in a low voice.

The person who came was the military marquis Dongfang Yun, I saw him walk up to Wu Zhan in a trance, and said in a deep voice: "You were imprisoned just a few days after you arrived in Xianyang, you can really do it!" ”

Wu Zhan only felt that his cheeks were hot when he heard this, and then he said embarrassedly: "The two guards who were in the same account with me were killed, and I became the only object of suspicion......

"Those two janissaries were killed by the secret guards hiding in the Zuo Xuanwu camp." Dongfang Yun said calmly.

Wu Zhan was secretly shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that in addition to himself, there were also netherworld guards hidden in the guards.

"But why did he kill his colleagues?" Wu Zhan asked suspiciously.

"Huh, colleague? When they spread rumors about the prince's background, they were doomed to die, and such people led the court to spread rumors that endangered the royal power, do you still think they are your colleagues? Dongfang Yun turned his back to Wu Zhandao.

A deep fear spread throughout Wu Zhan's heart, could it be that the content of his drinking and talking last night had already been mastered by the Netherworld Guard? If I had said something wrong at the time, would I have ended up in the same fate as the other two?

In addition to fear, Wu Zhan couldn't help but carefully think about the situation around him last night, when the four of them were sitting around a table, and there was no one else around......

"Boss!" Wu Zhan suddenly woke up and said: "Could it be that the boss is ......?"

Dongfang Yun was noncommittal, and only listened to him: "I want to know how you want to complete your task next?" ”

"This ......" Wu Zhan couldn't help but groan, and said: "Originally, I thought about sneaking into the Praetorian Guard camp first, and then finding a way to enter the palace to get in touch with the crown prince, if he still misses the old feelings, he should recognize me......"

But now that I'm in prison, it seems that this plan is not working.

Dongfang Yun turned around, stared at Wu Zhan's gaze, and said, "Your plan is very good, but the timeliness is too poor, according to your plan, when and what month can you enter the palace?" Now rumors about the prince's life are spreading, King Zhuangxiang has not yet been buried, and various forces are ready to move, so it can be said that the prince may be in danger at any time. ”

"What does the master mean......" Wu Zhan asked suspiciously.

"I will arrange for you to enter the palace immediately, and create an opportunity for you to recognize the prince, I want you to be by the prince's side all the time from now on." Dongfang Yun affirmed.

"But there are many Imperial Guards who are responsible for protecting the prince every day, what role can I play by adding one person?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but ask.

Dongfang Yun put his hand on Wu Zhan's shoulder and affirmed: "Because I only believe in you!" ”

Seeing that Wu Zhan still didn't seem to understand, Dongfang Yun continued: "Don't forget, we can arrange for the Netherworld Guards to blend into the Praetorian Guard Camp, can't the enemy arrange people to blend in with the Imperial Forest Army?" ”

"Got it!" Wu Zhan understood his master's intentions at this time, and then gave up.

"The various forces in the court are complicated, and crises exist everywhere and everywhere, I want you to protect the prince at the same time, but also protect your own safety, do you understand?" Dongfang Yun admonished.

In his opinion, although Wu Zhan's conditions are good, after all, he is only a teenager of about sixteen years old, and it is indeed a little worrying for him to shoulder such a heavy mission and face all kinds of dangerous enemies.

"Don't worry, master, I won't let you down." Wu Zhan felt the warm current in his heart.

Seeing that Wu Zhan was so sensible, Dongfang Yun was relieved, so he pinched Wu Zhan's shoulder vigorously and said, "Pack up your things and follow me." ”

"Master, this is a prison in the army, let's just walk out with such a swagger?" Wu Zhan wondered.

"So what do you think? Do you want me to recruit someone to carry you out? Dongfang Yun took the lead and walked outside the prison, and Wu Zhan hurriedly followed behind him when he saw this.

Stepping through the prison door, Wu Zhan followed Dongfang Yun and walked out, but saw that the entire prison was empty, and he didn't know where the guards and prisoners had gone?

Walking out of the prison unimpeded, Dongfang Yun suddenly stopped, causing Wu Zhan to almost hit his back.

"Master, is there a situation?" Wu Zhan looked around.

"From this moment on, Wu Zhan, the guard of the Zuo Xuanwu battalion, absconded in fear of crime, and lit the military prison with an oil lamp, and finally saw no one alive or dead." Dongfang Yun said quietly, and actually set a script for Wu Zhan.

"Am I not a fugitive?" Wu Zhan couldn't help but protest.

"So what? From this moment on, you will live in darkness and become the shadow of the crown prince. Dongfang Yun raised his arm as he spoke, and the prison behind the two of them instantly burst into flames, and was ignited by the men hidden in the dark.

Wu Zhan swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and secretly said in his heart: The master is really powerful, he actually fished me out of the prison like this, and destroyed all traces with a fire, which is very powerful.

So the two of them walked towards the palace one after the other, and when they walked away, they heard someone behind them knocking on a gong and shouting heartbreakingly: "It's gone fire, it's fire, come and put out the fire......

The majestic walls of the palace were in sight, and I saw that there were guards standing outside the walls, and there were still a pair of guards with torches patrolling back and forth.

"Master, shouldn't you just lead me into the palace like this......" Wu Zhan said as he looked at the palace's heavily guarded guards.

"Of course not!" Dongfang Yun was also calm, only to see him reach out and take a small burden from his back and throw it to Wu Zhandao: "This is a set of eunuch clothes, you change it first." ”

Eunuch? Wu Zhan opened his baggage, took out his clothes, shook it, and said, "The master asked me to pretend to be a eunuch and mix in?" ”

"With your elm head, I'm afraid you'll be exposed before you reach the palace gate!" Dongfang Yun continued to hit him and said, "Let's change my clothes first." ”

Wu Zhan was helpless, so he had to take off the clothes and armor he was wearing, and then change into the eunuch clothes on the side, only to feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Dongfang Yun put away the clothes that Wu Zhan had changed, wrapped them in the baggage and put them on his back again, then he glanced Wu Zhan up and down, and said for no reason: "Well, it turns out that you fit well in a eunuch suit......

Wu Zhan also gave him a big white eye.

Dongfang Yun then led Wu Zhan to a dense forest, and under Wu Zhan's incredulous gaze, he moved away from a boulder, revealing a pitch-black hole.

"But all the mansions of princes and nobles will have secret passages to escape, and the royal palace is no exception." Dongfang Yun pointed to the entrance of the cave and said: "If you enter from here, you will enter the palace, as for where the exit is, I don't know, the rest is up to you." ”

"What?" Wu Zhan panicked: "Does the master mean to let me go in alone?" ”

"So what do you think?" Dongfang Yun hugged his arms and said calmly.

"But......" Without Dongfang Yun by his side, Wu Zhan couldn't help but feel a little weak: "But how can I find the prince after I go in?" What if I accidentally get caught by the guards in the palace......"

Dongfang Yun couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he saw Wu Zhan so weak-hearted, only to see that his face was straight, and he raised his arm to make a gesture of invitation: "If you are so useless, then I Dongfang Yun has confiscated an apprentice like you." ”

"Master, you must be too ruthless." Wu Zhan said dissatisfied.

"Dare to talk more, be careful that I kick you in." Dongfang Yun's voice was a little cold.

Wu Zhan had no choice but to bend down and burrow into the entrance of the cave and grope towards the bottomless secret passage in front of him.

Dongfang Yun moved the original boulder back to its original position, and then clapped his hands and said to himself: "Zhan'er, the road ahead is still very long, the road is full of thorns and dangers, as a teacher, I can only help you get here, and the rest of the road can only rely on yourself......
