Because of He Zhan's secret letter, His Royal Highness the King of Jin couldn't calm down, it was late at night, although no one was disturbed by him, and there was no sweet and greasy fragrance in the room that bore him, but he still couldn't sleep, and he was not even in the mood to silently recite the "Great Nirvana Sutra" to self-destruction, so he simply jumped up, put on his clothes, and did not ask anyone to come to the lamp, taking advantage of the clear moonlight this night, relying on his eyesight comparable to Lilou, wandering around in the jade pipe house like a wandering spirit, it seems that this can calm his heart a little irritability.

Before he knew it, he walked to a place in the bamboo garden, and faintly heard the sound of digging in his ears, and He Ye realized that this place was the entrance to the secret passage.

After several groups of people digging day and night, the long secret passage was excavated at both ends of Zhangtai Garden and Yuguanju, and it seemed that it was about to "meet the teacher smoothly", in fact, if it weren't for He Ye's excellent ear power, even if he stood at the entrance of the secret passage, he would not have heard any sound.

But he left a secret passage that did not seal the entrance at this time, near the foot of the wall, a big gap was so open, although there were no servants and maids here at night, there was no need to worry about a trance-like person falling into the secret passage, but He Ye couldn't help but slander, what if he didn't notice it, and he stumbled and fell in, wouldn't it be a joke?

People who are in a bad mood will probably magnify some slight mistakes infinitely, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin is thinking about whether to punish the supervisor Ruan Changshi and how to punish him.

Before he could make up his mind, he heard a deep and shallow pace in the secret passage, mixed with the sound of increasingly heavy gasps.

Who?

The extremely alert King Jin subconsciously dodged and dodged to ...... There was nowhere to hide around, but fortunately, His Highness was extraordinary, and he jumped onto the wall without a sound.

This place is located on the west wall of the Yuguanju Bamboo Garden, with a corner door, which is usually bolted from the inside and does not allow outsiders to pass.

His Highness, who was crouching on the wall like a vulture, stared straight at the entrance of the secret passage with a pair of sharp eyes.

I saw a small figure stepping on the steps and gradually emerging his head, carrying a huge basket on his back, and there was a sack in the basket.

Who's the thief? The "vulture" was surprised, you must know that the Jin Palace's mansion is full of henchmen at the moment, and even these so-called craftsmen who cultivate secret passages are actually dead soldiers or He Yan's subordinate guards, could it be that these carefully selected people have actually mixed into the tenants? This is a fact that His Royal Highness can't accept no matter what, so he has to suspect that there is a loophole in the princess's subordinates, yes, this is the Jade Guanju, even the Hu family and his maidservants can't enter at will, it must be the princess's people who have a problem.

The thief walked out of the secret passage, but put down the basket on his back, seemed to wipe a handful of sweat from his forehead, and muttered "exhausted".

It turned out to be Ai Green Girl?

Although the muttering was extremely slight, it naturally couldn't escape His Highness's extraordinary ear, and he was immediately heard by him.

How could this girl not be a tenant, King Jin's heart was relieved, and he silently "floated" down the wall, standing exactly behind Ai Lu, the ghost claw stretched out, gently pressed Ai Lu's shoulder, and asked coldly: "What are you doing?" ”

Ai Lu was so frightened that she almost didn't scream, and thanks to her daring artist, she was able to stay calm at this time, got rid of the ghost claws very flexibly, turned around and punched, and hit the waist of the "ghost shadow" with a heavy blow, but the attack was easily blocked by a palm, He Ye didn't pretend to be a ghost: "See clearly and then fight!" ”

However, he was almost frightened by Ai Lu's raised little face and took a step back: Hey, this girl, she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and went to the secret passage to steal soil, her face was "muddy", and at first glance, she really looked like a little ghost.

"Temple...... Your Highness! The little girl, who was shocked and thought she had seen a ghost, saw the person who attacked clearly, and stomped her foot in annoyance: "You are scared!" ”

"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing?" He Ye asked again, but his fingers gently and skillfully opened the sack and looked inside: "Is it really soil?" ”

"Idle is idle, the maid is thinking of simply helping the secret passage to transport the soil out." Ai Lu seemed to realize that this fright was not shallow, and her little heart fluttered non-stop, and she complained aggrievedly.

"How much soil can you carry alone, and that's more."

The fruits of his labor were despised, Ai Lu was not convinced, so he pulled the bolt of the door and pointed to the two carts outside: "Your Highness, look at it, this is all transported by me alone, and I can share a lot of labor!" ”

"You are a maidservant of the Jade Steward, and your duty is to take care of the princess's daily life, so you don't need to do this." He Ye still thinks that the little girl is doing this too much.

"What does Your Highness know?" The little girl was also unconvinced: "There are so many maids around the princess, don't say dressing, I don't even need to serve tea and water, since following the princess, food and clothing are much more expensive than before, and the princess will give the same money and salary every month, and the maid only feels that she has received the benefits of the princess in vain, and she is not happy." ”

It turned out that the little girl used to follow Qiao Niang, although she was not angry and starved, but Qiao Niang was also sent under the fence, and the Liang family was just a small businessman, so that there were not many slaves and maids, so Ai Lu was also inevitably able to do some manual work of sprinkling and sweeping clothes and even carrying water, since entering the Jin Palace, the living treatment was much better than before, but she had hardly done any work, but she was proficient in riding and shooting under the guidance of Bai Yu and Ruan Ling, and even Binu and Alu would teach her to read and write. Ai Lu couldn't help it, so he thought about doing what he could, and didn't find a job to do.

But not only did she hide it from the princess, but she didn't even inform Binu and Alu, and her actions in the middle of the night were all sneaky, but she was "caught" by His Royal Highness tonight, so she was "frank and lenient".

"She's a diligent person and a good girl." After learning the ins and outs, His Royal Highness did not hesitate to praise: "It's just that your talent, Binu and they don't have it, isn't it a pity to use your strength in these stupid places?" You don't have to worry about being in vain, the princess stays with you, but when you are a personal guard, as long as you learn swordsmanship and martial arts with your heart, it will be a great achievement to ensure the safety of the princess in the future. ”

In order to reassure the girl, He Ye even opened his mouth: "Let's just say that this jade house, the courtyard wall is so low, those who practice martial arts can jump in, although it is okay now, in the future, those ill-intentioned people have come to Jinyang, and it is not possible for someone to sneak in at night to do bad things, and night patrol is inseparable from your girl's intentions." ”

Ai Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? ”

"Why am I lying to you?" Idle is also idle, King Ye suddenly had a "woman's benevolence": "Only your current ability, but it is difficult to be a big responsibility, why don't you worship me as a teacher, I will teach you a set of mental spells and qi techniques, so that no one will stand behind you, and you are still ignorant." ”

"You don't need to work Your Highness, there is Master Baiyu and Ruan Changshi to teach the maid." Ai Lu was very suspicious that His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who acted obediently and cautiously, was actually extraordinary.

He Ye: ......

Is he being despised by a little girl?!

His face darkened, and without saying a word, he lowered the saber on his waist and threw it to Ai Lu: "I know that Bai Yu taught you a piece of swordsmanship and knife skills, I don't fight back, even if you attack, within a hundred moves, as long as you can cut through a corner of my clothes, I will worship you as a teacher?" ”

"Your Highness has to be a word when he speaks." The girl didn't have much concept of dignity and inferiority at this time, plus she only regarded the princess as the main one, so she didn't have a little awe of He Yeyuan, and she was aroused to be competitive for a while, and she didn't care about any rebellious dogma, so she took the long knife out of the sheath and stabbed it at the King of Jin.

Suddenly, there was a flower in front of him, and he didn't say anything, and he didn't even see the figure of King Jin again.

"What's the daze, people are here!" King Ye's deep voice sounded behind him.

After dozens of rounds like this, Mo said a corner of his clothes, if it weren't for King Jin's kind reminder, Ai Lu couldn't even find the target, but despite being tired and panting, the little girl refused to admit defeat, and before she reached a hundred moves, it was not considered to be a winner.

He Ye seemed to be moving and jumping carelessly, seeing that Ai Lu's footwork was smart, although some physical strength was exhausted, resulting in stagnation of breath, but the knife stabbed, but it did not reduce the momentum and sink vigorously, and he was very surprised in his heart, secretly saying that this girl really has some talent, and now she is in her early tens, if she learns that mental magic and qi technique, after five or six years, ordinary guards are afraid that they are not her opponents, and staying by the princess's side to protect her is also a guarantee, so she is even more determined to dial one or two.

Therefore, after a hundred moves, He Ye shot like lightning, and snatched the weapon from Ai Lu's hand with his bare hands, and said with a smile: "The girl is still not convinced? ”

Ai Lu saw that his hand was empty, he was stunned for a moment, and gasped heavily: "The servant is convinced, but His Royal Highness wants to buy the servant, but the servant can't hide this matter from the princess." ”

He Ye couldn't cry or laugh: he was kind-hearted, and he didn't want to be in the eyes of this girl, but he became a trap to buy!

Fortunately, His Royal Highness is magnanimous and does not have the same knowledge as the girl, and he heard the sound of footsteps from far and near, and bowed his head slightly: "It's just right, the princess is here, you can ask the princess at this moment if she agrees." ”

Ai Lu turned around in surprise, and sure enough, he saw two lights in the distance, and a few figures were faintly walking towards him.

At this moment, her eyes when she looked at King Jin had a sense of admiration.
