The night breeze blew through the criss-crossed corridors, going around and around, and out of the corridors, blowing the branches around the corridors, and the doors and windows rattling.

It was already a child's time, and there were still candles dancing in a guest room in the simple courtyard, and a small figure sitting quietly at the desk was reflected in a trance.

I don't know how long it took, the little figure suddenly moved, and then a gentle young voice came from the guest room.

"Come in. ”

There was no one around.

But in just an instant, a dark shadow swept out.

Immediately, I heard a soft sound of "squeak-", and there was another seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in black in the guest room.

"Your Highness!"

The black-clothed young man knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

"It's been three years, why haven't you changed your words. The white-clothed young man sitting at the table frowned slightly.

The young man in black lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

The young man in white sighed slightly, a little helpless, "Forget it, get up." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. The corners of the black-clothed young man's lips were slightly hooked, and he bowed again, and then stood up.

The young man in white raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, as if he was a little tired, and said casually: "They ...... How's it going?"

The smile on the corner of the black-clothed young man's mouth became thicker, "Your Highness Qiqi, five three-tricks, thirteen two-tricks, thirty-seven have just entered the innate, and the rest are only one foot left." They all work hard, and I hope that Your Highness will surprise Your Highness next time. Although he knew that the young man in white was not asking about this, he still replied like this.

"Hmm. The young man in white smiled, "You've all worked hard, but don't push yourself too hard...... After all, you don't owe me anything. ”

The black-clothed young man pursed his lips, and the respect on his face finally subsided a little, and he was a little dissatisfied.

"I'll try not to say anything like that in the future. The young man in white glanced at the young man in black helplessly, and sighed slightly, "I will go to see you if I have time." ”

"Your Highness. The black-clothed young man's eyes lit up, but he didn't say much, only nodded respectfully.

"You don't have to be so formalistic in front of me, don't you know that I haven't cared about these things in the past few years?" said the young man in white again, seeing that the young man in black pretended to be confused, he laughed a little angrily, "I haven't said it in the past few years, so you really don't know that you have been following? ”

The black-clothed young man stuck out his tongue, "Your Highness has indeed become too much in the past few years, and you don't go often, and the brothers are almost unrecognizable to you." Besides, it's easy for you to dump us, and it will take us a lot of time to find you. ”

Is this to blame me? The young man in white blinked with a smile and looked at the young man in black with a serious expression.

The black-clothed young man lowered his head a little weakly, and changed the topic with insufficient confidence: "What is the matter with Your Highness summoning the hidden shadow, please instruct." ”

The young man in white shook his head slightly, "A little thing...... How about watching two people for me?"

The young man in black was a little unhappy on his face. This is the force you created, how can you see it like this?" ”

"Send a few shadows to follow these two and report to me regularly. The young man in white lowered his eyelids, then picked up two portraits from the desk and handed them to the young man in black, "But remember, no matter what happens, you don't have to make a move, just watch." ”

The black-clothed young man nodded, took the portrait and looked at it twice, and then became a little puzzled, "This Zhu brother and sister, His Highness and them are not even nodding friends, why should Your Highness bother with them?"

The young man in white didn't care about the young man in black, and said calmly: "Because some people are interested in them, and I am interested in some people." ”

"Oh. The young man in black nodded as if he didn't understand.

The young man in white thought for a moment and said cautiously, "This task may be a little dangerous, and everything is voluntary. Also, try to stay as far away as you can. ”

"Understood, Your Highness. The black-clothed young man saluted again, and then hesitated: "Your Highness, the Celestial Shadow and the Ghost Shadow have recently made new moves, so don't you pay attention to it." ”

"No need, I don't want to care about those things," the young man in white shook his head slightly, looked up at the young man in black who didn't know what he was thinking, and added, "You should try to leave the matter of the sky shadow and ghost shadow as much as possible, maybe...... The royal family was involved. ”

"Oh. The black-clothed young man nodded obediently, he naturally knew how much effort His Highness had spent in order to completely get the hidden shadow out of the royal family's sight, "By the way, Your Highness, there is some news from the Imperial City Secret Guard, which is related to you, and in addition, there may be something else about knocking on the rooftop." ”

The young man in white was slightly stunned, and then said helplessly: "You guys, you are so dishonest, I don't care about you when you are noticed." ”

The young man in black scratched his head, "Does Your Highness listen?"

"Listen," the young man in white glared at the young man in black helplessly, "Otherwise, I will be sorry for your hard work." ”

"In the past few days, there have been people similar to His Royal Highness in many places, and the imperial capital has been in chaos for a long time. The young man in black smiled slyly and spoke.

"Well, I deliberately messed up the imperial capital," the young man in white smiled slightly, and then his tone was a little playful, "You can't guess this?"

"Hehe!" the young man in black smiled awkwardly, "We're just curious...... Is Your Highness ready to go back?"

"No," the young man in white said calmly, "just to give some people a heads up." ”

"Oh!" the black-clothed young man was a little disappointed, "It seems that the dark guard has found a fake highness, that is, a few days ago, the brothers did not stop it, and then sent it to the imperial capital, and the emperor did not know where to hide." The brothers haven't found a clue yet, but it is estimated that there should be news in the next few days. ”

The young man in white frowned slightly, "You guys...... Are there any casualties?"

"No, no. The black-clothed young man hurriedly shook his head, "Those secret guards knew that we were His Highness, and they didn't dare to make a heavy move, so the two brothers were slightly injured, and it was no big deal." Really!"

"You don't have to be like this," the young man in white suddenly sighed helplessly, "I have a floating building, and some things are much more convenient than yours." ”

"Yes...... Your Highness really doesn't plan to hide the shadow?" the young man in black restrained his smile and looked straight at the young man in white. Could it be that the hidden shadow that you have worked hard for nearly eight years is not as good in your mind as the dilapidated building you hastily built?

The young man in white sighed again, "That 'Your Highness' is not my layout, you don't have to worry about it. And then what?"

"The second thing, I'm not sure," the young man in black opened his mouth and swallowed the words back into his stomach, "I didn't go up this morning, and it wasn't announced until noon. And the one who climbed the roof was not the emperor, it was the emperor, and it happened to be ......," the young man in black said as he spoke, and his voice suddenly disappeared. Only then did he remember that his Royal Highness's teacher seemed to be the emperor's teacher.

The young man in white was slightly stunned, blinked, blinked again, and then said calmly: "Well, I know, is there anything else?"

"It's gone. The young man in black secretly glanced at the young man in white and said weakly.

"Well," the young man in white didn't care, and nodded, "Then you should try to move as little as possible these days, father...... It is estimated that there will be some actions against you on the emperor's side, so be careful. ”

"Understood. The young man in black said respectfully again.

"Well, if it's okay, you can go, I don't want Uncle Yu to know about you yet. The young man in white said again.

"Yes. The young man in black bowed down and saluted again.

Then I heard a soft sound of "squeak-" again, and the black-clothed boy in the guest room disappeared again.

The young man in white quietly listened to the wind outside the window and was stunned, and sighed slightly after a while, but suddenly felt that something seemed to be blocked in his throat, and he was a little dumb.

He shook his head self-deprecatingly, took a deep breath, and then hooked the corners of his mouth again.

He finally understood why the Ethereal Tower hadn't sent the news at this hour.

I see.

But they probably wouldn't have guessed that they had other forces.

He suddenly sighed again, this force that he had formed childishly back then...... He regretted it.
