Looking at this young man with a handsome face and a calm bearing, Chen Changsheng saluted calmly, but his mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

King Chen Liuwang has royal blood, and his natural talent is outstanding, but he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, his identity is too noble, and he will not participate in the imperial examination, so he has no chance to show his level, but the dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy and the worshippers in the palace have said that with his realm strength, it was very easy to enter the Qingyun List at the beginning, and now he is over twenty years old, but as long as he is willing, there must be a place for him on the gold list.

But he was able to get the respect of a heavy minister and god general like Xu Shiji, and it had nothing to do with the royal bloodline and realm strength, just because the Holy Empress Niangniang treated him differently and left him in Kyoto, which caused countless conjectures - could it be that the Holy Empress Niangniang wanted him to succeed to the throne of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

There are many people who think like this, but the Tianhai family has been extremely arrogant over the years, Chen Liuwang's surname is Chen after all, and the Holy Empress Niangniang has never had an obvious attitude, and no one knows what role he will play in the future Great Zhou Dynasty, so the people in Kyoto have complicated feelings about him, and they have to stay away from him.

Xu Shiji, as a god general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was deeply trusted by the Holy Empress Niangniang, because he had made too many enemies in the court when he suppressed the imperial rebellion, so he was more cautious about Chen Liuwang's attitude, but he also had to try to do something, at least not to offend the other party.

He knew that King Chen Liuwang was presiding over the Qingteng banquet on behalf of the Holy Empress Niangniang tonight, and was responsible for receiving the southern delegation from afar, but he didn't expect that he would meet the other party outside the palace, and he was reminding himself of some things intentionally or unintentionally, and he was protecting Chen Changsheng.

Xu Shiji confirmed that no one knew about Chen Changsheng's marriage contract with his family, so the sudden appearance of His Royal Highness Chen Liuwang and the intention of returning to protect him could only fall on the National Education College, which reminded him of the rumors that had been faintly rumored in Kyoto recently, and he felt a little uneasy.

Chen Liuwang glanced at Xu Shiji, then looked at Chen Changsheng and asked with a smile, "Is there anything that this king needs help with?"

His voice is not hurried, his demeanor is gentle and amiable, and it feels like a spring breeze, which is warm and comfortable.

At the beginning, Chen Changsheng didn't understand the meaning of this highness's words to protect himself, and after hearing that sentence, he was relieved, and at this time, listening to the other party's gentle and earnest words, he was even more grateful, and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern." ”

"Don't thank me. In fact, you kid has suffered from the fish in the pond, and we useless people who watch the scenery at the city gate should say sorry. ”

Chen Liuwang looked at him and said with a smile, speaking very casually, but his tone was very sincere.

If there is a fire at the city gate, the fish in the pond will be affected.

If it weren't for the two forces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old and the new, to stir up trouble by re-enrolling students at the National Education Academy, Chen Changsheng would be just an ordinary teenager that no one knew, where would he be watched by the people in the entire Kyoto, and where would he cause so much trouble?

King Chen Liuwang didn't know the stories between Chen Changsheng and the Eastern Imperial God General's Mansion, thinking that Xu Shiji was making trouble for him, and it was also one of the many troubles mentioned in the above words, and as a member of the imperial family, it was natural for him to say sorry to Chen Changsheng.

Of course, the fact that His Royal Highness the King of the County can apologize to an ordinary person like Chen Changsheng proves that he is really approachable, and in front of Xu Shiji, in the palace, he does not shy away from talking about the contradictions between the old royal family and the Holy Queen Niangniang, which is even more chic.

"Your Highness is gracious. ”

Chen Changsheng really liked this His Royal Highness the County King, and said, "If there is something that needs to trouble His Highness, I will tell you." ”

"Very well, I just like this temperament, and I'm not afraid of trouble. ”

Chen Liuwang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards the palace, there were guards following him in the night, before leaving, he glanced at Xu Shiji, his eyes were calm and gentle, there was no warning, but the warning was full.

The soft light of the night pearl became a little unstable through the bright paper between the window frames.

Xu Shiji's face was illuminated by the light, and it was a little cloudy.

His Royal Highness King Chen Liuwang left, but his words remained under the porch in front of the palace, and the night breeze blew away.

It was impossible for Xu Shiji to do anything to Chen Changsheng, and his face was like frost and said, "Your luck is very good." ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Or, it's because I have a good character." ”

With that, he laughed.

In the eyes of many people, Chen Changsheng has a maturity and stability beyond his age, because he has always been very calm, rarely showing joy and sorrow, getting along with people who are not very close, just observing etiquette, but not even smiling much.

But he smiled very happily at this time, because he was in front of Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji was also laughing, as if he thought the child's answer was funny and childish, but he laughed ugly.

After all, Weiyang Palace is not the main hall, nor is it the inner palace where the Holy Queen Niangniang lives, and a little farther away, there are still some abandoned gardens. At this time, the night was dark, and a dark sheep slowly walked out of the wild grass of the abandoned garden, with starlight shining in its eyes, and it was extremely secluded.

Xu Shiji looked at the night, raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't say anything more, and flicked his sleeves into the main hall.

Chen Changsheng also saw the black sheep.

The black sheep looked at him quietly, and then walked in the direction of the outside of the palace, stopping and looking back at him as if to show him the way.

Chen Changsheng understood what this black sheep meant—it wanted him to leave the palace.

Although he could not talk, he vaguely felt and was convinced that the black sheep had good intentions towards him, so it may mean that tonight's affairs are not over, and it is even possible that the real ordeal or danger has just begun.

But he didn't go with it, because he wanted to participate in today's Qingteng banquet.

He hadn't figured out what he would do when the Southern Mission proposed him, but he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Or when you see it, you know how to do it.

......

......

The black sheep disappeared into the night.

Chen Changsheng stood in the light outside the hall, thinking about the terrifying aura that Xu Shiji had emitted before, knowing that the Dao was very dangerous before.

Xu Shiji said that he was lucky, and that was because of the sudden appearance of His Royal Highness King Chen Liu.

He replied, "Maybe it's because of his good character."

Character is morality without loss and without damage.

Those who have attained enlightenment will surely be helped.

This is the truth he read in the three thousand volumes of the Daozang.

After leaving Xining Town and coming to Kyoto, he endured a lot of oppression, humiliation, and temptation, but there were also many people who helped him, such as the bishop of the Patriarch's Office, such as Priest Xin, such as His Royal Highness King Chen Liu, including the black sheep who disappeared into the night.

He is very sober, and it has nothing to do with character and morality, and he should not bear some humiliation and pressure after coming to Beijing, and he should not have had such help in the first place, and many things are just because of misunderstandings.

The marriage contract between him and Xu Yourong was only known to the Eastern Imperial God General's Mansion and the big man in the palace, and no one else knew about it.

The Anglican College is a lake where no one comes to see it, and there are many wild lotus flowers growing in it.

He was just a passer-by who strayed into this waste lake, and wanted to row the boat to the other side of the lake, but when he took up the oar, he startled a shoal of gulls and herons.

Just as he was thinking about this, a terrible bird song suddenly sounded in the night in the distance, and then there was a faint sound of splashing water.

I don't know if the night birds are hunting or being preyed.

Chen Changsheng turned to look at the dark night, and there were some warning signs in his heart.

At that moment, a voice rang out.

The sound came from the depths of the night, but it did not disperse into the night.

The voice came from the depths of the palace, but it was not dispersed in the halls.

The voice rang directly in his ears and then fell directly on his heart.

The sound is crisp and moving, like the taste of rock sugar gourds in winter, but more cold like winter.

"You, it's Chen Changsheng?"

There was silence all around, the sound of silk and bamboo in Weiyang Palace passed through the window paper, very soft, the sound of the autumn wind blowing the leaves in the distance passed through the wide square, very soft, and the voice that sounded directly in his heart was also very light, but it was like thunder.

If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely be shocked when he suddenly heard a voice in his heart, but Chen Changsheng didn't react, he looked at the palaces in the night, trying to find the location of the person who spoke.

He read through the Dao Collection, and knew that there were some powerhouses in the Star Gathering Realm who could easily transmit their voices to the ears of ordinary people.

"You're calmer than I thought, or rather, Mune?"

The voice rang out again.

"I just wish you were smarter than I thought you were. ”

There is a woman in the palace, she has already cultivated to the Gathering Stars Realm at a young age, she doesn't care about the words left by King Chen Liu, the power position can be imagined how terrifying, the identity is already about to be revealed, it is the big man in the palace that Chen Changsheng thought of before.

He looked at the palaces in the night, and saluted calmly: "I've seen Miss Mo." ”

The voice disappeared for a moment, as if he didn't expect Chen Changsheng to be able to immediately think of who she was, or if he wasn't used to the title.

The owner of the voice is the legendary Mo Yu girl.

The second most powerful woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty may even be the second most powerful person.

"You can call me Miss Mo Yu. ”

"Yes, Miss Mo. ”

For some reason, Chen Changsheng looked a little stubborn tonight.

may be because he knows the reason why Mo Yu suddenly appeared.

"You are indeed a very smart teenager. ”

"You're welcome. ”

"These days in Kyoto, the situation is hidden, but you have been closed at the National Education Academy, which is why I say that you are smart. ”

"You're welcome. ”

"It's just that smart...... It's a bit shameless. ”

"Please advise. ”

"You guessed Luoluo's identity, so isn't it shameless to hide behind her?"

"It was you who arranged for me to enter the National Religious College, and you know that I just want to study and practice, but I didn't think about it so much. ”

"But you're still using her. ”

That's what she meant. ”

"Anyone who has some manliness will not deceive such an innocent and innocent little girl. ”

"How have I ever deceived her?"

"If it weren't for deception, how could someone of her identity worship you as a teacher?"

Hearing this question, Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, and then he looked into the depths of the night and said, "Or, it's because I have a good character." ”
