The long night is not young.

While everyone was asleep, Azu was sitting cross-legged, and the green seedlings in his body breathed like a rhythmic life.

Legend has it that anyone who cultivates immortals can open the valley, Azu didn't eat today, but he didn't feel hungry either, it should be that the cultivation path has played a role.

When he was cultivating, although he was a child, he was like an immortal in the midst of that spiritual flow.

My thoughts never stopped between cultivation...... If King Wen really suspects that he is a spy arranged by Emperor Hao, then what will come next will only be his thunderous means.

In this long forest, he did not sleep for a long time.

Now there is a wonderful balance between him and King Wen. King Wen was wary of him, and he couldn't follow the reason that he would rather kill by mistake than let go, because the candidate for the son of the deer god was also rare.

King Wen cared so much about Lu Shenzi, and Azu guessed that Lu Shenzi was related to the rebellion. And because of the matter of this deer god, he has been tied to the rebellion.

How to prove your identity without revealing your hole cards......

Azu opened his eyes, and the insects in the courtyard were sparse.

It's dawn......

Azu got up and washed up.

The one holding breakfast outside the door was not Lan Fang, nor Grandpa Hai, but it was still the little eunuch from yesterday.

Unceremoniously took the bird's nest porridge, and only then took a sip, but asked, "Where is Grandpa Hai?"

The little eunuch shook his head: "I was called to Tianzi Palace by the prince yesterday, but I didn't come back......"

Azu frowned: "It was Gonggong Hai who arranged for you to be here?"

"It's not. The little eunuch replied honestly. "It was ordered by the prince. ”

The king's command...... King Wen had long known that Gonggong Hai would not come back? Gonggong Hai was a eunuch, what important matters did he have to discuss?

In his mind, the gambling contract with Gonggong Hai that day flashed, and his heart moved.

Could it be that I found ......

Will Gonggong Hai tell King Wen the truth...... I'm afraid I'm going to have to prepare......

"Little eunuch, do you know where to find the county lord?"

"Lord of the county, the villain doesn't know ......"

The little eunuch really didn't know, Azu turned his mind, but asked again: "Then do you know the sleeping place of the county lord?"

"Uh...... What are you going to do?"

"If you ask you, you will answer, if there is something, I will be responsible......"

"Well, in this long forest, the prince and the county lord both live in that Xiao Tiange......" The little eunuch didn't dare to disobey, just thought about it, but hesitated. "But Xiao Tiange is a forbidden place, and others can't enter it......"

Azu nodded, if you can't find Zhu Ying today, you can only go to that Xiao Tiange......

......

King Wen hasn't made a move yet, so the schedule of martial arts training is still the same. As usual, Li Potian watched and used internal force to crush the tea leaves in the cup.

The internal force of the silk makes the water ripple slightly, just like the ripples on the surface of the river.

Azu tried, but he was a little surprised in his heart. For some reason, he felt that the control of the internal force was simpler, at least he didn't show any signs of exerting too much force now.

It's a good thing after all.

Li Potian sat cross-legged, ignoring it.

Looking at the middle of the teacup, the tea leaves danced with the fluctuations of the water, like a small boat in the midst of stormy seas.

"Master......"

Li Potian opened his eyes and was stunned.

Azu's attitude towards him has never been good, and he has never expected Azu to have a good attitude.

He really wanted to teach Azu, and he confided in him, but the reason was King Wen's ambition, and Azu never apprenticed to him. This "master" is a bit harsh to hear.

Li Potian should not have come up with the word "apprentice", but just asked rhetorically: "What's the matter?"

"What do you do on a day-to-day basis?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Potian's eyes.

"Kill, protect. ”

"What about the other than that?"

"No ......"

Li Potian's tone couldn't hear fluctuations, but he seemed to be able to see his sadness.

"Have you ever saved someone?"

"......" Li Potian opened his mouth, but did not answer after all.

When there was silence, Azu raised his head and asked, "Is Gonggong Hai dead......?"

Li Potian sighed: "It's ...... dead"

"You killed it?"

"I didn't kill you. ”

"That was killed by King Wen?"

“...... It's ......"

"Why did you kill him?"

seems to be guilty of Gonggong Hai, only hating himself for not being able to save him, Li Potian answered all of Azu's questions one by one, but when he came here, he was depressed.

“......”

Li Potian didn't want to participate in the deceit within the royal family, and the rebellion had nothing to do with him. Azu may be the mysterious person, but Li Potian faintly hopes that he will not stand up, and it is best to let this matter be clueless to the end.

As long as there is no proof of death, Azu will always be safe, and King Wen will not dare to gamble.

"Let's practice, don't ask......"

Li Potian had already recovered the appearance of the ancient well without waves, but he said.

Azu was silent, just lowered his head, and continued to cultivate martial arts......

Knights......

Li Potian didn't settle down, but he looked at the blue sky and sighed alone.

......

The day's martial arts training was over, and Azuwu went to the Fengzilou, but he still didn't find Zhu Ying.

Why hasn't she been seen for so many days?

Azu had some doubts in his heart, and thought about what the little eunuch said about Xiao Tiange, so he asked the guards on the spot. When the guard heard this, he also shook his head, and it was not until Azu said it again and again that he dared to stretch out a finger and look into the distance.

After a few detours, after getting closer, I felt that Xiao Tiange was very big and a little new. As usual, the dragon building can't enter, the dragon road can't go, and the dragon palace is naturally not allowed to enter, so this Xiaotian Pavilion was newly built as the residence of the prince and his family.

I vaguely remembered that Na Lanfang also lived here...... Now it seems that this Xiao Tiange is like a big mansion, and it is not impossible to accommodate some personal attendants.

The outside of the pavilion is heavily guarded, and it should be one of the tightest places in the whole long forest. When I looked at the gate, there were two guards like door gods, unusually tall.

It seems that it is impossible to go straight in......

However, Azu didn't plan to climb over the wall to enter this time, because at this time, King Wen was already extremely wary of him, and if he sneaked into Xiao Tiange and was discovered, it would make the situation even more serious. After thinking about it, he just stood outside the door of Xiao Tiange, but he shouted.

"Zhu Ying!

This appearance is like the usual playmate of the children in the village. The two guards at the gate frowned, thinking that this kid was so rude.

They are the guards of Xiao Tiange, in the deepest part of the Changlin, they often don't come out, but it is normal that they have never seen Azu.

"Presumptuous, why do you call that county lord by name?"

One of the guards made a sound, holding a halberd in his hand, but he just stood it on the ground and shook it, which was quite majestic.

"I'm Zhu Ying's friend, how about calling her by her name?" Azu didn't panic, just pretended. "If you dare to be rude to me, I will let Zhu Ying cure your crimes!"

Naturally, the guards would not listen to his words: "Even if you are a friend of the county lord, it is impossible to be so rude! Shouting in front of Xiao Tiange, what kind of system is it?"

"And you're letting me in?"

When the guards heard this, they laughed: "How can you enter this Xiao Tiange?"

"You won't let me call, and you won't let me in, so how can I find Zhu Ying?"

Azu was not annoyed, but just stared at the guard's eyes, but he saw that the guard was a little frizzy.

The guard waved his hand: "Child, leave quickly......"

"Okay, then you can help me communicate with Zhu Ying?"

"This ......" the guard choked, how could he get in.

"Then I'll shout ...... someone else," Azu rolled his eyes. "Lan Fang!

The guard glared, and he wanted to mention this little boy and leave, but the bay window on the second floor of Xiao Tiange opened, revealing a white face that he hadn't seen for a long time, it was Na Lanfang.

"Wait......"

Lan Fang made a sound, as if she was a little hoarse, but she stopped the guards.

This guard naturally recognized Lan Fang, after all, he could see it every day, and he muttered in his heart that this kid really had some doorways, so he let go and stood back in front of the bronze gate.

Although Lan Fang is a servant of King Wen, she still seems to have some power. Looking at this guard, it seems that there is some obedience.

If you don't drive away Azu, it doesn't mean that he can enter this Xiao Tiange. It was only after waiting for a while that Lan Fang walked down slowly, but she was a little limped.

"What's wrong with you?

Azu spoke, but Lan Fang just ignored it, and still said in a low voice: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Zhu Ying. ”

Lan Fang looked at Azu, and just shook her head: "You'd better not look for her, the county lord is sad now......"

"Sad? why?"

"Emperor Hao decreed that he would give her a marriage ......"

"Marriage!" Azu's eyes shrank. "With whom?"

"There is a vassal state in the Western Regions called Persia, which is the ......prince of Persia," Lan Fang explained.

"But she's only thirteen?"

"Give marriage first, and then get married when you are an adult......," Lan Fang said slowly. "Persia and the Ming frontier have repeatedly started expeditions, and this marriage is a harmony. ”

"And the ......," Azu muttered.

The royal family is a dream that many ordinary people can't achieve in a lifetime. But these people do not think that different positions have different afflictions, and that the more noble those are, the more they cannot live freely, and even their lifelong happiness will be deprived.

It's like that Yanqing......

"Zhu Ying, don't you want to?"

"Of course I don't want ......to," Lan Fang sighed. "When I was taken in by the prince, she was only three years old, and I watched her grow up...... Although I am of humble status, she is like my sister...... I know that she is the most freedom-yearning character, how can she be willing to be so ......"

"What about King Wen?"

Lan Fang's eyes flashed with a strange look, but he shook his head: "King Wen doesn't want to, it's just that it is the emperor's marriage, if you don't obey, it will be a ...... of resistance."

Anti-Decree ...... If King Wen is opposed, how can he resist the decree?

Then I have to talk to Zhu Ying even more.

"Can you let me meet her, then?"

"I can't call her...... She doesn't want to see people now......"

"What if I say, can I help her?"

"You?" Lan Fang looked at Azu in astonishment, but she didn't see a joking look on his face.

On that immature face, it seemed to be confident, but it was something he envied, and he just nodded: "I'll try it......"
