"It turned out to be the Thirteenth Prince. Although the old man in the purple shirt recognized Zhao Miao, he didn't make any salutation, and he didn't even look at Zhao Miao more, and his indifferent gaze stayed on Guan Shaoyang.

?? The old man's behavior, Zhao Miao did not take it to heart. The main thing is that he is used to it, and if this distant mountain gives him a good look, it will be called strange.

Xiang Yuanshan is the master of the third prince Zhao'an, and since the last prince was deposed, he has tried his best to act for Zhao'an's selection of the prince.

It can be said that the rumors circulating in the outside world that Zhao'an must be the next crown prince were all obtained by Xiang Yuanshan's painstaking efforts.

He hoped so much that his apprentice would be crowned the crown prince, and he naturally regarded other princes as enemies, and he had no good eyes.

These were all Zhao Miao's thoughts, and he even suspected that Liu Bin, who was going to kill him in the Mountain Temple, and today's Nine Swordsmen of the Imperial Court, were all arranged by Xiang Yuanshan.

But suspicion is only suspicion, and there is no evidence.

Shu Shaoyang smiled dryly, and said to Zhao Miao: "I'm really sorry, Young Master Xiang, he came first......"

Whether it is the prince or Xiang Yuanshan, it is not something that Shu Shaoyang can offend.

Although he had a smile on his face, he actually felt more bitter in his heart than anyone else.

He didn't even know if he forgot to burn incense or didn't worship the Buddha today, he was so unlucky!

Previously, he was on Huang Siye's side, and it was true that there were five keys in the house, which were passed down from ancestors to today. He didn't know what the mystery of just five ordinary keys had been passed into his hands.

He only knew that this was the key to the mausoleum of the last emperor of the previous dynasty.

Once, he also tried to satisfy his curiosity and took the key to the Emperor's Tomb in Ten Thousand Beasts Gang, but after searching in the opened Emperor's Tomb Shinto, he found nothing.

This made him even more curious about the purpose of the ancestors who passed down the key.

As time passed, this curiosity faded, and the key was forgotten, leaving its corners to dust.

Today, but suddenly on Huang Siye's side, he found that someone had exchanged the crystal bow for these five keys.

I thought it was good luck and affection, but I didn't expect it to be the beginning of a nightmare.

Rushing home to find the key, before he could go out, he ran into Xiang Yuanshan who came to the door, and asked for these five keys.

It's not over yet, and it didn't take long for another prince to come, also for this key.

He was caught in the middle, torn between a rock and a hard place.

The most important thing is that he used it to exchange for a crystal bow!

If the key is taken by either of them, it means that he has missed the Crystal Bow.

can let him be an ordinary person and say "no" to Xiang Yuanshan or Zhao Miao, but he doesn't have the courage.

Helplessly, in the end, Guan Shaoyang still chose Xiang Yuanshan.

Behind it, after all, Zhao'an, who is most likely to become the crown prince.

"Today's generosity of the head of the closed family is a great help to the prince of Zhao'an, and I will definitely report to the prince of Zhao'an one by one. Xiang Yuanshan stroked his long beard, and the implication was that he would not let Guan Shaoyang give five keys.

"What is the use of the imperial brother taking this key?" Zhao Miao couldn't help but ask Xiang Yuanshan.

Xiang Yuanshan just smiled indifferently and did not answer.

"Then I'll go get the key. Shu Shaoyang saluted the three of them, taking this opportunity to stay away from this place.

He decided to give the key to Xiang Yuanshan, so he was ready to offend Zhaomiao, and naturally thought about giving the key out as soon as possible.

"What should I do?" Above the living room, there were only three people left, and Zhao Miao asked Ye Xiao in a low voice.

Ye Xiao twisted his eyebrows and shook his head.

Seeing that there was no way, Zhao Miao had no choice but to walk towards Xiang Yuanshan.

"Young Master Xiang, I'm investigating the two treasures of the palace, have you heard of it?" he said.

"I heard. Xiang Yuanshan nodded, "It is said that there is only a five-day period, and now that three days have passed, there are only two days left, why did the thirteen princes come to care about irrelevant matters? You have made a military order in front of the emperor, if you can't find it after two days, this is a big crime of bullying the king, even if you are the prince, you will be punished!"

"Thank you Young Master Xiang for reminding me. Zhao Miao arched his hand, "But I am looking for these five keys, which are related to the theft of the treasure, so I hope that Young Master Xiang can let me use them first, and then I will personally present them with both hands." ”

"Oh, these keys are actually related to the stolen treasure?" Xiang Yuanshan looked strange.

Zhao Miao's expression was sincere, and he continued: "Yes, before ......"

He wanted to say that someone on Huang Siye's side took out a crystal bow to change the key before, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Xiang Yuanshan with an embarrassed face.

"But I was also ordered by the prince of Zhao'an, and if I can't bring it back, I will also be punished, so don't embarrass me for the thirteenth prince, you go and beg your imperial brother yourself!" Xiang Yuanshan said:

"Although you are half-brothers, and your mother is also a peasant woman in a mountain village, she is not as noble as Concubine Li, but you can be regarded as having the same blood, I think he should help you. ”

Listening to the piercing peasant woman in the mountain village, Zhao Miao was unhappy.

This is the word he has heard the most in the palace in the past 20 days, either from other princes or from some people's backs. Every time I hear it, my heart is like a knife.

His mother's identity may not be as noble as those concubines in the palace. But the selflessness of dying because of his birth is not to be tarnished or despised by anyone.

It is precisely because of this, in order to prove himself, that Zhao Miao will make a military order in front of the emperor in this theft case.

Thinking of this, Zhao Miao still focused on retrieving the lost property, hiding the unhappiness in her heart, and asked Xiang Yuanshan, "Where is the imperial brother now?"

"He's on an errand and should be back in seven days. ”

??“ But there are only two days left before the deadline to find the lost property!"

??“ Then I can't help you. Xiang Yuanshan said.

?? Zhao Miao opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but it was stopped by Ye Xiao pulling her arm.

??“ He's playing tricks on you. Ye Xiao said in a low voice.

?? Zhao Miao knew this that the previous "peasant woman from the mountain village" was the best proof, but what could he do, without these five keys, although he would not completely cut off the hope of finding the lost property, but he would lose the most convenient way.

In the vast sea of people, there is hope for the person who wants to find the rabbit mask, but it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, even if he knew that Xiang Yuanshan was playing with him, he kept putting up with it.

He can't just snatch those keys, can he?

Besides, even if he grabbed it hard, it would not be enough for him and Ye Xiao to join forces to make Xiang Yuanshan move his fingers.

The cultivation of the Silent Sky Realm is not something that can be shaken by a single perceptual sense, a Qi Sea Realm cultivator.

When he was at a loss, Guan Shaoyang, who had left earlier, returned. Holding a bunch of keys in his hand, with stains of green patina, he explained to everyone how long it had existed.

Zhao Miao's expression was solemn, but he could only watch as Guan Shaoyang respectfully handed over the five keys to Xiang Yuanshan.

Xiang Yuanshan took a closer look at the key in his hand, and finally withdrew the ring, and said indifferently: "Then I won't delay the investigation of the thirteen princes." ”

After saying that, he swaggered out of the living room.

Zhao Miao didn't give up, and while following up, he called "Young Master Xiang" on his lips, and Xiang Yuanshan didn't look back until the gate of the closed house.

At this time, at the gate, there were two subordinates brought by Xiang Yuanshan.

"Yo, isn't this the 'Prince of the Ten Mountains'?" one person spoke, and the banter in his words could be heard by anyone who was not deaf.

"Be quiet, people are not only princes, but they are still catching fast before, be careful to catch you. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry. The previous man patted his lips lightly, then clasped his hands together and shook them in one direction, and his mouth was full of words, "Village girl, I didn't mean to offend your son, don't blame me!"

Looking at the man's movements, Zhao Miao's fists clenched tightly, and after a while, his eyes moved away from the man, looking at Xiang Yuanshan, who had been smiling, "Young Master Xiang, can you give me the key first, after solving the case, I will play to my father, and you will be the first to take the lead." ”

Those two people are people around Zhao'an, and in order to investigate the case at this moment, he has to endure it.

Although he knew what Xiang Yuanshan was thinking when he didn't stop the two of them, he still had to endure it.

If you turn against them here, you really won't be able to get the key.

"Do you really want to?" Xiang Yuanshan finally spoke.

"Yes. ”

"Then let's do it, I'll use the secret method to inform Zhao'an, and if he agrees, I'll give it to you. Xiang Yuanshan said: "However, this secret method is extremely troublesome to perform, if it is fast, you can get a response from Zhao'an in a day, and if it is slow, it ......."

Xiang Yuanshan stopped when he said this, he did work hard for Zhao An to ascend to the crown prince, but he never regarded Zhao Miao as an opponent from beginning to end.

If Zhao Miao could compromise here, he wouldn't mind lending the key to Zhao Miao.

After all, no matter how you say it, you are also a prince, and if you have one more prince to support it, Zhao'an's crown prince position will be more secure.

Emperor Zhaoyong's thirteen sons under his knees, counting the current Zhao Miao, a total of fourteen.

Zhao arranged the third child, the eldest Zhaoping's position as the prince has been abolished, and the second Zhaotai is obscene and intrusive all day long, and he doesn't do the right thing, and the prince's position can't get his head. As for the others, they are all decent, and the slightly more prominent ones are the third Zhao'an, the eighth Zhaoya, and the ninth Zhaojian, these three are the three most competitive for the prince.

According to the order of the eldest and youngest, Zhao'an is more secure, but the problem is that in terms of talent, the two of them are above Zhao'an.

And these two people are also pulling in the forces of other princes to choose their own crown princes, and it is self-evident that they are fighting against Zhao'an.

In this way, if you win over a prince to support it, it will be safer.

Zhao Miao heard the meaning of Xiang Yuanshan's words, and said in a deep voice, "What do you need me to do?"

Xiang Yuanshan retracted his thoughts and smiled indifferently, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just ......."

"There's nothing to talk nonsense, get out with the key!"

What Xiang Yuanshan wanted to say was interrupted by this cold sentence, the tone of the order, and the insulting word "get out" made him very unhappy.

The face that was still smiling instantly cooled down.

The two subordinates beside him looked at the source of the voice angrily, "You have to say it again." ”

"Let me say it again?" the voice came again, "what are you?"
