After Gongsun Yan retreated from the Star Sacrifice Palace, he strode directly into the Danzhen Palace opposite, and was affected by the shocking change in the door, and the doctors and medicine boys here also looked nervously, at this moment, a hand quickly grabbed his sleeve and carefully took him to the backyard.

"Sure enough, it's you. Danzhen Palace Master Qiao Yu made a boo gesture at him, and the young man's face did not have a trace of fear, but he confidently led him to push open the pharmacy, "Come in and hide, this pharmacy is specially designed to place the water prison of the king to test medicine, usually outsiders are not allowed to enter without my order, you come in first to hide, it is estimated that the people of the forbidden army should be searched in a while." ”

Gongsun Yan followed him into the pharmacy, Qiao Yu laboriously pushed open a tall cabinet, revealing the simple hidden secret room behind, and scratched his head: "Let's just take a moment, the time is too rushed, I only had time to temporarily dig such a small room of such a big size, you hide well, I will go out to deal with the people of the forbidden army." ”

"How did you know I was coming?" Gongsun Yan asked curiously, Qiao Yu tilted his head and asked, "Then how do you know that I will save you?"

"Danzhen Palace suddenly changed hands, it must have been deliberately arranged by Mingxi, I just gambled. Yan Gongzi waved his hand, looked at this unpredictable young man, and said in a low voice, "Did he invite you to join an organization called 'Wind Demon'?"

"Yike...... Such an important matter, His Royal Highness forgot to tell Gongzi, fortunately, you won the bet, otherwise you would have died here tonight. Although Qiao Yu nodded with a smile, his voice was suddenly a little sharp and cold, "All the medicines in this pharmacy are all things researched by the King of Binding Water Prison, which are more precious than the medicine of the Danzhen Palace itself, they have been tried thousands of times on countless people, and some of the poisons that can cure diseases and save lives will be sent to the Danzhen Palace, and those poisons that harm people's lives will continue to be stored in the King of Binding Water Prison, because the Danzhen Palace is a place that only serves the emperor, good things, naturally you have to keep them for yourself, right?"

"Oh. That's the truth. Gongsun Yan was a little puzzled, I don't know why he suddenly said this to himself, Qiao Yu looked down at the ground and kicked his feet, "My sister was taken away by the people who bound the king's water prison, it's been almost two months, my sister has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has been relying on medicine to barely survive, and then the king's water prison developed a special medicine, which is very useful for my sister's illness, and my father and mother are also very happy, thinking that she can finally be cured, who would have thought...... It didn't take long for her to be taken away. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Gongsun Yan was surprised, it was not a secret that the Water Prison of the Binding King used people for experiments, but they generally quietly looked for people in various wastelands, and would not blatantly choose the nobles of the four realms to start!

"Hmm. Qiao Yu twisted his fingers, there were some tears in his eyes, although his tone was quite calm, Gongsun Yan still keenly felt the sadness and anger from him that could not be concealed, "The Binding King Water Prison came with the Governor's order, we can't refuse, and then my father has been inquiring about my sister's affairs, but unfortunately even the Danzhen Palace Master can't really understand the truth about the Binding King Water Prison, until half a month ago, my sister and my sister's body were sent back to Syracuse City......"

The young man gritted his teeth, and even his eyes became murderous, and he clenched his fists hard: "There are traces of the test drug on her body, it seems to be ...... My mother couldn't afford to be sick, and she was still in a coma on the couch, and my father also made an old mistake because of this, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince noticed that he ordered someone to send my father back overnight, and took the initiative to let me take over the Danzhen Palace, His Highness said, as long as I am willing to join the Wind Demon, he can help me find out the real cause of my sister's death, and I can also know the truth about the water prison of the king. ”

Gongsun Yan was silent, the King of Binding Water Prison was indeed doing some sensational experiments, but what it was, the Wind Demon Investigation had not been able to fully understand for a long time.

"However, His Highness can't protect himself now, right?" Qiao Yu blinked, and Gongsun Yan answered vigilantly, "You can also see it?"

"Huh, isn't this something that everyone can see?" Qiao Yu didn't mind his reaction, and said calmly, "Fengxintai, located on the Xingluo Lake in the south of the city, backed by the third floor of Lansun, Mochizuki, and Xingxing, is an island created by artificial filling, and below is the entrance to the Water Prison of the Binding King, although it is ostensibly to repair the prince's palace for the wedding, but in fact it is house arrest, right? I don't think there's such a person at all, right?"

"You're young, but you've seen it thoroughly. Gongsun Yan had a little change in his opinion of him, Qiao Yu was amused by him, waved his hand and said, "Where is it, compared to Yan Gongzi who broke into the Governor's Mansion and the Star Sacrifice Palace alone, I am far behind! Oh, by the way, I think the injuries on your body should have been burned by the Yan Emperor's sword, right?

"I want to know that you are my own person, and you must have come early in the morning. Gongsun Yan smiled bitterly, Qiao Yu pushed the cabinet back to its original position, and lowered his tone, "Don't make a sound, I'll be back in a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gongsun Yan keenly heard anxious footsteps outside the door, he carefully held his breath, and heard Qiao Yu walking out.

"Captain Gao?" Qiao Yu opened the door and saw that it was Gao Shumang, who was actually the leader of the troops stationed in the capital, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"Palace Master Joe. Gao Shuman first bowed his hand politely, his gaze inadvertently swept over the dim pharmacy behind Qiao Yu, and his mouth was angry, "The Star Sacrifice Palace was attacked by unknown people, and the cold rain Fa Zhu was killed, you are only a few steps away from the Star Sacrifice Palace, and the subordinates are worried that this person will take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Danzhen Palace, which will endanger the safety of the palace master and other doctors, please make it convenient for the palace master and let his subordinates check it carefully." ”

"Oh, it should. Qiao Yu hurriedly made a panicked look, patted his chest and let it aside, and muttered in his mouth, "Captain Gao, is the prisoner still in the inner city?

"Thank you Palace Master Qiao for your kindness, but for now, it should be your subordinates who protect your safety. Gao Shumang spoke politely and was a cultivated person, he bowed again, and then walked softly into the pharmacy.

"Go get a lamp for Captain Gao. Qiao Yu kicked the little medicine boy beside him, and shouted at Captain Gao again, "Captain Gao, the things inside are a little messy, you can be careful not to knock them over." ”

"Yes, I'll take notice. Gao Shuman nodded, and began to carefully stroke the tall medicine cabinet, he naturally knew that this room was full of extremely precious medicinal materials, and his hands were also very light, and he touched slowly step by step, Gongsun Yan did not dare to come out, he could hear the crisp footsteps outside, and even the sound of breathing close at hand was particularly obvious in this tense atmosphere!

Gao Shuman knocked as he walked, and Qiao Yu outside also pinched a cold sweat, that narrow secret room was secretly built after he entered the Danzhen Palace, and he didn't have time to cover it up with magic, as long as Captain Gao moved the medicine cabinet a little, he could find out that he was tired!

Just when the hearts of the two of them were about to raise their throats, a forbidden soldier rushed in from outside and shouted loudly: "Captain Gao! Your Excellency the Governor is here, please rush to the Sealing Heart Terrace and give priority to the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Gao Shun stopped, although he hesitated, he quickly walked out of the pharmacy, he bent down and bowed again at Qiao Yu, and said: "Palace Master Qiao, his subordinates will let the four teams of the troops stationed in the capital guard the periphery of Danzhen Palace, if there is anything abnormal, please be sure to contact the team leader!"

"Ah...... Oh, I see. Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, Gao Shuman was only one step away from the medicine cabinet where Gongsun Yan was hiding, and he actually stopped so ghostly!

This is God to help Gongzi survive this catastrophe.

Gongsun Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, just a few minutes, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and his legs were a little weak.

But he immediately began to think about another problem - before this matter, Gao Chengchuan had already transferred seventy percent of the forbidden army garrison troops to Fengxintai, and even his henchman Mu Xizhao was arranged to guard him every step of the way, and now he had to call Gao Shumang over together!

"Hmph......" Gongsun Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sneered, is Gao Chengchuan worried that the prince will be robbed in the Fengxin Terrace? The Fengxin Platform is surrounded by water on all sides, with its back to the third floor, and the water prison below is still tied to the king! It needs to be rowed by the painting boat on the lake, and now the troops stationed in the capital are surrounded by three layers and three layers outside, even if he wants to save it, there is no chance at all, it is an excellent place under house arrest, if the wind demon wants to rescue the prince, then he must first find a way to get out of the Fengxin platform!

"Mingxi...... You should have a way, right?" Gongsun Yan looked at his palm and grasped it hard.

Gao Shuman hurriedly walked out of the Danzhen Palace and found that the security lights of the whole city had all been lit up, illuminating the entire Heavenly Imperial City. balance

However, at this moment, the towering temple in the center of the imperial city was abnormally extinguished all the lights, and the palace symbolizing the imperial power was shrouded in a rich black, as if it was not at all aware of the imminent crisis in the inner city under his feet.

The temple is the last emperor before the fall of the sky, and it is also the first emperor after the fall of the sky, the Tianheng Emperor built, it is like a tall pyramid, the higher the narrower, the bottom is very huge, occupying nearly half of the land in the inner city, in the limit range of the eye can show, there is a very obvious dividing line, in the day will show a bright gold, if the night is the light line as bright as the moon, the temple is divided into two from this line, the upper layer only allows the emperors of the past dynasties to step in, the lower layer is the place to receive important ministers and hold a grand state banquet.

Now, even this line is engulfed in darkness, and the whole temple is dark.

Gao Shu took a deep breath, and an uneasy premonition swept through his whole body-what the hell is my uncle going to do? The mysterious person who sneaked into the Governor's Mansion before should be the one who broke into the Star Sacrifice Palace today, right?

The guards stationed at the city wall have been doubled, and there is no news of a suspicious person found, so it is estimated that that person is still hiding somewhere in the inner city, right?

Gao Shuman's eyes were bright, and he was preparing for the worst - the people who could stay in the inner city at this point must be the ones who could spend the night here without being suspected! Excluding the guards of the forbidden army, the night guards of various ministries, and the palace maids and servants of the royal family, there were actually not many people who could have such an identity.

"Captain Gao!" someone shouted to him, Gao Shuman immediately came back to his senses, only to see Mu Xizhao riding a horse himself, and holding a horse in his hand, he threw the reins to Captain Gao, and said, "Lord Governor is already on the Fengxin Stage, Captain Gao should come with me." ”

"Good. There was no time to think about anything more, Gao Shuman turned over his horse vigorously, and the two of them turned around at the same time and galloped towards the south of the city.

The sultry wind blew in the south of the city, with the unique atmosphere of the Water Prison of the Binding King, Prince Mingxi sat alone in the house, the windows on all sides were open, and he suddenly became a lot more sober.

"Your Highness. There was a gentle knock on the door, and Gao Chengchuan's voice came in suddenly, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Lord Governor?" Prince Mingxi turned the jade wrench in his hand, raised his eyes and looked out the window, the painting boat on the lake was lit up with a lot of lights, illuminating the entire Xingluo Lake, he paused for a while, faintly felt a little strange, and continued, "Lord Governor, please come in." ”

"Late at night, please atone for your sins. Gao Chengchuan pushed open the hidden door, he was holding the Yandi Sword, and he didn't even change the purple and gold uniform of the forbidden army, Prince Mingxi raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said lightly, "It's so late that the governor hasn't rested, and he is even on duty in the uniform of the forbidden army?"

"Your Highness, the Star Sacrifice Palace was attacked, and the Cold Rain Fazhu was killed. Gao Chengchuan quietly said the earth-shattering events outside, but his eyes stared at the prince intently, Mingxi was only slightly stunned, and he involuntarily glanced out of the window, Xingluo Lake was very large, and he couldn't detect what was happening on the shore at the center of the sealing platform, after a long time, the prince's eyes became stern, "Governor Gao has a heart, but the sealing platform is surrounded by water on all sides, it should be safe, right?"

"There is no such thing as absolute security. Gao Chengchuan closed the door casually, the prince chuckled, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it over, "The tea is cold, the governor will be fine." ”

"These minions won't even send a hot tea!" Gao Chengchuan scolded, and the prince waved his hand, "It's almost cool to send it in if it's hot, I don't mind, the weather has been hot and uncomfortable recently, and there's nothing wrong with drinking some herbal tea to reduce the fire." ”

"Your Highness is too accustomed to being subordinate. ”

"What's the use of embarrassing them?" The prince answered casually, leaving Gao Chengchuan with nothing to say, so he had to quickly cough a few times in embarrassment and change the topic, "It is a grievance for your Highness to let His Highness temporarily live in Fengxintai, and the old minister will definitely arrange more people to hurry up and repair the prince's palace, so that you can move back as soon as possible, and please ask Your Highness to include more during this time." ”

"There's no rush. Prince Mingxi took a sip of tea and greeted me, "Speaking of which, my father chose a young lady to refer to me as his wife? Don't the whole territory know, I'm still in the dark, right? Does my father still want to surprise me?"

"Well...... Gao Chengchuan obviously didn't expect the prince to ask this, His Majesty was clearly just looking for an excuse to put the prince under house arrest, and the prince actually made fun of it?

"Does Your Highness have a favorite woman?" Gao Chengchuan skillfully changed the topic and pushed the question to the crown prince again, Mingxi pondered for a while and shook his head, "I've seen a pair of interesting sisters, but it's a pity that the two of them belong to each other, and I can't win people's love, right?"

"Oh?" Gao Chengchuan lengthened his tone curiously, there has never been an ambiguous woman around His Royal Highness the Prince, how could a pair of sisters appear out of thin air?

"Mo Pavilion is busy with government affairs, and I really don't pay much attention to these things. Mingxi casually shifted the conversation again, glanced at Gao Chengchuan, and quipped, "Does Governor Gao have a suitable candidate to recommend?" After all, I am at this age, and I always have no family, and I am rumored to have a habit of breaking sleeves, which is not good. ”

"Haha, no female baby has been born in my old Gao family for several generations. Gao Chengchuan waved his hand, there was a hint of unexpected loneliness in his eyes, Prince Mingxi smiled secretly, no woman has been born in the Governor's Mansion for nearly five generations, Gao Chengchuan himself is five brothers, except for him, the rest have also passed away, he has two sons under his knees, and they happen to be twins, but he has a son in middle age and a child in old age, such a blow is too heavy even for a ruthless person like Gao Chengchuan.

His eldest son is very good, originally the most powerful heir of the governor, has been guarding the imperial capital, is the commander of the troops stationed in the capital, but it backfired and died of illness at a young age, and the second son is completely out of the climate, in order to temper the younger son's heart, Gao Chengchuan did not hesitate to send him to the most barren wasteland, that is, near the junction of Jia Luo and Yangchuan, who expected to encounter the Jingcheng Incident and was brutally killed.

After that, Gao Chengchuan left his only three grandsons in the imperial capital city, and personally educated and cultivated them since childhood, but he never assigned any positions to the three of them, and they are just unknown ordinary soldiers stationed in the capital.

But for the sake of the status of the Gao clan, he took all his nephews into the post, and even scattered them all over the place, nominally to assist the military cabinet master, but in fact he was secretly containing.

"Heh......" Prince Mingxi couldn't help but chuckle, turned the teacup in his hand, and his thoughts flew far away - Gao Chengchuan repeatedly targeted Tianzheng Mansion, did he also see the shadow of his son in the twin brothers?

"Your Highness has thought of something interesting?" Gao Chengchuan opened his mouth suddenly, keenly sensing a trace of contempt from the prince's expression.

"An interesting person comes to mind. Although Prince Mingxi felt that the other party was a little unhappy, he still continued, "Except for Gongsun Yan, the young people of this generation have not raised their eyebrows! It seems that after my father and emperor give me a marriage, I should urge them a little." ”

"Oh. His Highness was thoughtful. Gao Chengchuan looked coldly, and naturally knew the meaning of the prince's words.

"It's not time yet...... Don't worry, it's not time yet. Prince Mingxi thoughtfully turned the jade wrench in his hand, not knowing who he was talking to.

"Your Highness, rest early, the old minister has already transferred Gao Shuman and Mu Xizhao together, be sure to ensure your safety. Gao Chengchuan got up, didn't want to say a word, and left.
