Hearing Xiao Tianjue ask about what happened to Xiao Yu after he was taken away from Jishi Temple by Gonggong Zheng ten years ago, Haoxing Mingrui couldn't help but hang his head and couldn't speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although it has been ten years, when he recalls the scene when he first met Xiao Yu, he still can't help but be full of grief and anger.

Thirteen years ago, Haoxing Mingrui returned to Jingyang from Chongyuan alone with ambitions. In the case of the unsuccessful search for the seventh uncle, Haoxing Xiaoyu, he began to contact the old Yin tribes who were still loyal to his father, secretly carried out operations in the territory of Dayu, and gradually established a huge intelligence network.

Just ten years ago, he met some hermits who had escaped from the Tibetan Valley, and got word from them about his seventh uncle, Haoxing Xiaoyu, and his nephew, Xiao Yu, whom he had never met, who were currently trapped in Jishi Temple.

Haoxing Mingrui was really anxious for a while, but with his strength at that time, it was impossible to successfully enter the temple to save people. While he was planning hard, he got even worse news, Xiao Yu was taken away from Jishi Temple by a eunuch from the palace.

What Haoxing Mingrui could surmise was that the person who took Xiao Yu should have been assigned by Emperor Dayu to pry out something about his master Xiao Tianjue from this child's mouth. But with the emperor's temperament, he would not lock Xiao Yu in the crowded palace, lest the rumors leak out and insult his name as the Holy Lord. And Xiao Yu is not a prisoner of the court, and he is only a seven or eight-year-old child, so he will not be imprisoned. Well, in the huge capital, there are still too many places to hide a child without being discovered. However, in addition to hiding, they will definitely torture to extract confessions, which requires a place where they can avoid people's eyes.

Suddenly, Haoxing Mingrui thought of a place, maybe that was the most suitable place to imprison Xiao Yu.

At midnight, Haoxing Mingrui touched the palace of Prince Ding, which was very laxly guarded. In fact, he had been here three years ago, to find his seventh uncle Haoxing Xiaoyu, but he found that the Prince Ding in the palace was just a stand-in, and the real Prince Ding was gone.

Standing in the dark palace at this moment, he found that there was no light in the courtyards everywhere, so he could imagine what kind of situation this Prince Ding's palace had withered.

Along a long corridor, he slowly approached the heart of the palace, the prince's bedroom. It's also very different from three years ago, there isn't even a single guard. According to his guess, it was probably because the emperor had discovered the secret of Prince Ding's palace and removed the original guards in the palace, and the new guards were really not comparable to the previous iron guards.

However, even in this unguarded residence of the prince, the lights were still on, and there was a faint voice of talking.

Haoxing Mingrui quietly sneaked into the hall, came to the bedroom that belonged to the prince, and peeked in through the crack in the door. I saw a man sitting in front of the window in his clothes, staring at the long dark night outside the window in a daze.

The candlelight in the room was dim, and Haoxing Mingrui couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, let alone determine whether he was still the stand-in back then.

At this moment, the people in the house suddenly let out a long sigh and said to themselves, "When is it a leader, when is it a leader on such a day......

Bright Star carefully surveyed his surroundings again, and after making sure that this was not a possible trap, he quietly pushed open the door and silently came behind the man sitting by the window.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the man suddenly stood up, turned his head, and suddenly noticed that there was an additional person behind him! He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and he was about to exclaim in surprise, but suddenly someone was choked by his throat, and he couldn't make a sound!

Only then did Haoxing Mingrui realize that the man's face was covered with bruises and scars, so that his entire face was swollen and deformed, and it was really difficult to identify whether he was the stand-in from three years ago.

"If you want to live, don't make a sound!" he whispered.

A flash of fear flashed in the man's eyes, and he nodded.

Haoxing Mingrui slowly let go of the hand that was holding the man's throat and pressed him back into the nanmu chair.

"You...... Who are you?" the man asked, shuddering.

Haoxing Mingrui gently patted his face, which no longer looked like a human form, and sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am, tell me who you are first?"

"I ...... Naturally, I am Prince Haoxing Xiaoyu......" The man replied with obvious lack of confidence.

Haoxing Mingrui smiled coldly again, "Really, then I have found the right person! Tell you, I am the one who came to kill you, the prince of Ding!"

"Wait! Wait...... ......The man was so frightened that he slipped off his chair and knelt directly on the ground, "Don't kill me!

Haoxing Mingrui still pressed his hand on his throat and shouted in a low voice: "How do I know if you are really Prince Ding? Since you have already admitted it yourself, and you are in Prince Ding's bedroom at the moment, I am not worried that I will kill the wrong person!"

The man suddenly felt that the hand pressing on his throat tended to tighten hard, and he struggled and cried and begged for mercy: "Good man...... Spare my life! I really ...... I'm just a stand-in hired by him, and I've been here for more than five years! If I were really Prince Ding, how could I be beaten up like this?!"

"Then where did Prince Ding go?" Haoxing Mingrui's hand relaxed slightly, but he still didn't take it from the man's throat.

The man took a few breaths, and said with a crying voice: "I don't know! I really don't know! Five years ago, someone brought me here and told me that I could walk around the palace as I wished on weekdays, as long as I didn't leave the palace. I didn't see the prince himself at all, and then even the man who brought me with him disappeared. ”

"Then why are you staying here?"

"I did it for the money, I thought I would be able to get out after a few months, but I didn't expect them to let me go again! I also thought about sneaking out, but the guards at the time were so strict that it was impossible to escape under their noses. Until three days ago, the guards in the palace suddenly disappeared, and even the people in the palace were all gone, and in the blink of an eye, a group of fresh faces were replaced. I thought that maybe I would have a chance to escape, but I didn't expect that two Ouchi guards suddenly came, and without saying anything, they dragged me to the backyard and beat me up. They also asked me a lot of things, and then they brought me back here, and I ...... Naturally, I don't dare to fight the idea of running away anymore......"

The man grinned and looked at Haoxing Mingrui with a pitiful look, hoping that he would believe what he said and spare his life, which he had so hard to pick up.

Haoxing Mingrui looked at his miserable face, suddenly his heart moved, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and immediately let go of his hand that was ready to kill.
