Zhao Li said: "That's why I came here to ask His Highness for help!"

Xiao Zong said: "If you want to seek my help, why do you need to bypass my family's imperial office? If you don't tell the truth today, there will be nothing I can do.

You want me to risk being punished by my father, and I don't even know your true purpose. Li'er, you speak with your conscience, and I haven't done enough for you, have you ever given me anything back?"

Zhao Li was moved, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were bright. looked at Xiao Zong and said: "Your Highness, don't believe it, in this vast river and lake, there is still a royal bloodline. ”

Xiao Zong sighed: "Li'er, even if you don't want to reveal it, you don't need to use these words to prevaricate me. ”

Zhao Li said: "Your Highness, what I said is true. Today I have brought him here, and there is an urgent matter that concerns the people of the world. If it had been a step too late, more people would have died. ”

Xiao Zong said: "You can say it." ”

Zhao Li told Xiao Zong everything Xu Qing said and his own along the way.

Xiao Zong's eyes widened, and he felt funny and ridiculous. After Zhao Li finished speaking, he saw Xiao Zong's face in disbelief. He immediately said to him: "Your Highness, I know that it is difficult for you to accept it for a while, but this is an established fact. ”

Xiao Zong said with a smile: "The first emperor Chan is located in his father's emperor, and his only prince is said to have died young. How can you still survive in the world?"

Zhao Li said: "Your Highness, where did you hear this?"

Xiao Zong said: "Don't care about it, I don't remember much." It's just that I've vaguely heard about it, why do you need to mention these old things? I just ask you, who instigated you to come here with all this nonsense? Could it be that Xu Qing? ”

Zhao Li said: "Your Highness, Brother Xu won't hide it from me, that Xiao Song is also a heinous sinner." Either way, but leave that alone. This Fengxuan Ancient Sword is about to endanger the world, if we don't forcibly block it, there will be endless troubles in the future!"

Xiao Zong laughed and said, "The predecessor said that you were fantastic, and there are some reasons. The ancient sword behind this, what sword breaks through all enemies, I can't believe it, and I can't believe it. You asked me to use this to convince my father, not to mention my father, it's me. The little eunuch and the little palace maid in the palace, who can believe it? How can this be a clear and ridiculous statement?"

Zhao Li hurriedly said: "Your Highness, how can I not know what you said? But even if it is difficult and dangerous, I can't back down. I only asked His Highness if he believed in Li'er. If you don't believe, I'll leave immediately, and if you don't believe you, I'll be arrested, and that's my creation. If you believe it, please ask Your Highness to work some hearts and hurt some lungs. Do it for me. ”

When Xiao Zong saw that Zhao Li said this, he was determined to take a gamble. If he abandons it, Zhao Li will definitely act on his own, and it must be very dangerous. had no choice but to say to her: "I really can't help you, Your Highness is really a sin in the previous life, and I met an endless person like you in this life." ”

Zhao Li grinned, Xiao Zong saw it, and felt intoxicated. Let her bring Xu Qing over first, and then he will design to bring the two of them to meet with the saint.

Zhao Li understood, so he walked out of the house, and Xiao Zong looked around cautiously. Led Zhao Li to the outside of the station, and looked for a shortcut to the wall at the west end. It was getting dark, and the two of them were already under the wall. Zhao Li said suddenly: "Your Highness, time is running out, do you have a way to bring the saint to your imperial palace? ”

Xiao Zong said: "You think cheaply, and let me plan carefully." ”

Zhao Li leaned against the wall and entered, and the current situation could only rely on Xiao Zong. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has his own way. And he wanted to meet Xu Qing as soon as possible and bring him here.

So he looked for the dark moss, and then stirred the weeds, and went into the deep grass. According to the record of the road when I came, I soon came to the entrance of the cave. I walked into the cave, and without much turnaround, I went out to the other side of the cave. I saw Xu Qing and Peng Huai talking together, and Chen Yuan and the dark nightmares patrolled and surveyed the surroundings.

Xu Qing was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Li. A sentence of "Li'er" was called, and he immediately rushed towards Zhao Li. Peng Huai and Chen Yuan also followed, and when they arrived, Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Li'er, I just thought about it with Peng Lao. If you don't come back, I'll go through the cave to find you. ”

Zhao Li said: "Don't come, the other end of the cave is a tortuous journey." You don't know where you found it, where do you want me to call you?"

Peng Huai said: "The county lord is very right, and the old minister also advised His Highness not to act impulsively, so as not to make a big mistake. ”

Zhao Li saw that Xu Qing's face was haggard, and said, "Brother Xu, when did you wake up?

Chen Yuan said: "The county lord can rest assured, the troublesome vitality in His Highness's body has subsided. I don't think it will regenerate, so it's worry-free. ”

Zhao Li said suspiciously: "It has been calmed down, how did it be calmed down? Was it dispersed by Peng Lao for Brother Xu?"

Peng Huai said with a smile: "The old minister doesn't have this ability, but His Highness dispersed it by himself, which is really puzzling." I want to come to His Royal Highness with good luck and help from heaven. ”

Zhao Li became more and more puzzled, Xu Qing inexplicably gave birth to this strange qi in his body, which tortured him so uncomfortably. It's weird that it's going to go away on its own now, but I can't care about it now. Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Li'er, did your trip go well, is it difficult to walk in the palace?"

Zhao Li said: "Brother Xu, the road in this palace, I have already told Peng Lao, it is indeed difficult. If there is no familiar person to lead the way, it will inevitably fall short, and it will be a matter of time before he is arrested. In my opinion, even if it was by force, he escaped. This trip is also considered invalid, and you will never want to set foot in the palace again. ”

Peng Huai said: "The county lord often plays in the palace and is familiar with the road shape in the palace. Why can't you take us there?"

Zhao Li said: "I'm just familiar with the shape of the road, that's all." How can I remember the six royal courtyards, the palace in the harem, the front palace in the harem, the countless palace roads, and the thresholds of the large and small gardens? It is the palace maids and eunuchs who grew up in the palace for the first few decades, each performing their own duties and occupying their own land.

If it is said to be completely ripe, there is no one in this palace. Besides, it is not very useful to be familiar with the road conditions, and what we want to see is the saint. Only by being familiar with the daily deeds of the saint, as well as his temperament and habits, can he have a chance to win. ”

Chen Yuan said: "According to what the county lord said, wouldn't we die on this trip, and there is no hope at all?"

Xu Qing said: "Li'er, this matter is imminent, and I can only rely on you now." ”

Zhao Li said: "However, things are not without room for reversal. I was almost arrested, but it was only thanks to Prince Xiao's rescue that I was spared. He was born in the palace since he was a child, and he has his own way to pave the way for us. ”

Peng Huai said suspiciously: "The prince that the county lord said is. ...”

Zhao Li replied: "Sixth Highness Xiao Zong." ”

Peng Huai exclaimed: "County Lord, he is the prince, so you believe in him? Although this Xiao Zong is not involved in political affairs, he is also a royal bloodline after all." Wouldn't it be more dangerous for me to rely on Him to see the Holy One?"

Zhao Li said: "A few months ago, I escaped from the palace and was stopped by His Royal Highness Zong. But I insisted on doing it, and he didn't report it to the saint. If he has bad intentions, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Brother Xu. I know what His Highness is like. ”

Chen Yuan hurriedly said: "County Lord, that Xiao Zong is just a good friend of the County Lord. After all, this is the palace of his Xiao family, if we let it happen like this, let us and others mess around. If something happens, his guilt will be greater. At great risk, will Xiao Zong rest assured of us? Besides, this is a matter of His Royal Highness, no matter what, we can't act rashly. ”

Zhao Li said: "Chen Xiaojun, don't worry, I won't introduce you to Prince Zong, I will only take Brother Xu alone." And it won't go far, it's in the imperial palace not far from the Western Wall. You can stay in the dark and keep an eye on the movements in the palace at all times. If they sense something different, these Nightmare Brothers can show up to protect Brother Xu from here. In that case, you can rest assured. ”

Peng Huai said: "What the county lord means is to let the prince of Zong lead the saint to the imperial palace? His Royal Highness and the saint will meet in the imperial palace, so that they can avoid the courtyard of the middle palace, and it is very close to the west wall, so it is easy to get out, yes or no?" Zhao Li said: "It is worthy of Peng Lao, and he really has vision." Chen Xiaojun, if you have any criticism, let's talk about it quickly. ”

Chen Yuan hesitated for a moment and said to Xu Qing: "Your Highness, my subordinates feel that this comprehensive prince is not credible. We can't be so reckless and go deep into the tiger's den. In case the gains outweigh the losses, but something big will happen. Your Highness has a heavy responsibility, so you can't be hasty. ”

Xu Qing said: "We came here this time to plunge into Longtan. The method proposed by Li'er is the most important to avoid the important and light. If this prince has different intentions, I will stand with Li'er with two swords. The Imperial Forest Army in the palace can't help us for a while, and there is a dark nightmare to open the way for me, so I can be safe. It's just that we made a bet and made a bet on this comprehensive prince, but we accidentally lost all the games. ”

Then he said to Zhao Li: "Li'er, do you know how the prince of Zong invited the saint over, and how could the saint come here for no reason?"

Zhao Li said: "Although the prince and the saint are monarchs and ministers, they are also father and son. Why not, why not, father and son talk about some common things? The prince of Zongzong found a reason, even if he deceived once, he would not worry about the saint coming here. ”

Peng Huai said: "It is natural for father and son to talk about it, but among the royal family, it is the monarch and the minister who are more important than the father and son. If there is no urgent matter, the Holy One will not easily go to the palace of the prince. Just as the county lord said, he made up urgent matters to deceive the saint into coming here. This is the crime of deceiving the king, since ancient times, the emperor has been ruthless, even the prince of Zong, he does not dare to do this. If the prince is for the sake of the county lord, he is willing to act like this. That was a big surprise. ”

Zhao Li held back his anger, walked to the side and leaned against the stone wall, and kept silent. Seeing this, Peng Huai didn't know why. Xu Qing got closer and said to Zhao Li: "Li'er, if the difficulty is too great, rest for a few days." After you have thoroughly figured out the situation in the palace, how about deciding to advance and retreat?"

Zhao Li didn't respond, she secretly felt that Peng Huai was indeed reasonable. But what could be a safer way to do it now? She really couldn't think of it.

If you go to Ziyunyuan to ask Granny Zhiye for advice, you will face the risk of being detected again. If there is no Xiao Zong to rescue, the palace will definitely become tense in an instant, and all kinds of patrols will be all over the palace. In this way, he will never be able to enter the palace again.

Seeing that Zhao Li was silent in thought, Xu Qing turned his head to Peng Huai and said, "Li'er took great risks to find such a safe way. If you still prevaricate and hesitate, you will miss the opportunity. ”

Chen Yuan said: "But Your Highness, have you thought about it, but if Xiao Zong has a trace of dissent, we will all be affected, but we have no chance to make a comeback." There are precautions in the palace, and if you want to enter the palace again, it will be difficult to climb to the sky. ”

Xu Qing said: "Sometimes it seems stupid to be desperate and act decisively, but it is actually wise. At this juncture, it is a blessing to have such a method, but what is there to hesitate?"

Peng Huai said: "Your Highness should be thoughtful!"
