Mo Shangren is like jade, and people like jade never sleep at night.

Half-lying on the clean, but not very comfortable wooden bed. It is not as big as the gold and jade bed in his bedroom, and the quilt is only a quilt, not silk cotton, and there is no gold thread interspersed. There is no familiar or unfamiliar well-behaved Gong'e fan around, only a familiar and unfamiliar guard who has accompanied him for ten years.

"Nine years, four months and seven days. Feeling the suspicious gaze of Yue Linglong behind him, Chi Shuiliu shook his head with a wry smile, brought the cup in his hand to his lips, drank it all, and still looked at the closed door: "Less than ten years, but it seems like a thousand years." After such a long time of getting along day and night, can't the princess still believe me?"

The shrill voice is deliberately low, sounding like sawn wood, a little harsh, and uncomfortable.

After hesitating for a moment, Yue Linglong said: "Huang Shajuan said that you and Bai Luming... ”

"I know. ”

"You know?"

"I don't know, but I can guess. Chi Shuiliu shook his head and nodded again: "He said bad things about me, and you believe it, princess, it's not difficult to guess." ”

"Then you... It's true... Is it the same as them?" Yue Linglong looked at Chi Shuiliu's broad back worriedly, and her jade hand clenched unconsciously.

"Yes and what, no, does the princess really care about the answer of her subordinates?" Chi Shuiliu pinched the wine jug and filled himself with another glass: "The princess can ask this sentence, she already has the answer in her heart, and it is useless for her subordinates to say anything." If it were Qing Si Xuan or that nerd was here, I'm afraid the princess wouldn't have asked at all, no matter what the yellow sand roll said. ”

"Princess, listen to your subordinates, you and that nerd are two different people, you are a princess, and their family will not agree. Now you ... I'm afraid it's even more difficult. ”

"I know. Yue Linglong closed her eyes, covering her sad eyes, unwilling to talk more.

Chi Shuiliu sighed, didn't say anything more, and couldn't say any more. Because the footsteps that were not deliberately hidden sounded on the porch, and stopped outside the door.

Immediately after, Ouyang's crisp and naughty voice came through the door panel: "Princess, have you slept?"

The answer, of course, is no. If the candlelight in the house is not extinguished, how can people sleep?

"Not yet. Yue Linglong agreed, and she was about to get up.

Chi Shui got up and came to the door, opened a gap, and looked down at the little girl dressed in white: "Is there something wrong with Miss Ouyang?"

"Well... There's something to say. Ouyang nodded.

"Then come in. Chi Shui Liu didn't stop it, he turned sideways to make a gap, Ouyang lowered his head and got into the room and came to Yue Linglong's side and sat down on the bed very familiarly: "You don't sleep so late, princess has something on her mind?"

"Nothing. The fickleness of women, at this moment, Yue Linglong smiled very naturally, and there was no leakage in her heart: "Is there anything wrong with Sister Ouyang?"

"It's not a big deal. Ouyang said, glancing at Chi Shui Liu, who closed the door and sat at the table again.

"It's okay," Yue Linglong smiled: "Big Brother Chi is my personal guard, and there is nothing to believe." ”

"Uh... All right. Seeing Chi Shui Liu's head smiling, Ouyang was a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Yue Linglong: "Did you hear the shouting and killing outside today?"

"The remnants of the dead country, Linglong is only Linglong now, don't mention the name of the princess. Yue Linglong sighed, and then said: "More than 1,000 people crossed the street on horseback, and the momentum was so loud, naturally they heard it, but they didn't know where the soldiers and horses were, and they were so arrogant." I asked you before and you didn't say ... ”

"Actually, I don't know how to say it. Ouyang leaned over, and his low voice seemed to be guarding against someone: "Those black-clothed soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses of the East Factory, led by two people, one I don't know, and the other is Liu Xizhi, the deputy director of the East Factory Punishment Division. Entering the city with such a momentum is naturally to kill people. Although it is not known who was killed, it was definitely the bad guy who was killed. ”

"How does my sister know that they are good people?" Yue Linglong tilted her head and looked at Ouyang suspiciously.

"That's what people have to say to their sister. Some embarrassed, and a little embarrassed: "I haven't revealed my identity to my sister before." In fact, people are also from the East Factory. . . ”

"My sister is from Dongchang?"

"Sort of. Ouyang emphasized, and said, "Not only me, but Brother Yuezhen is also from Dongchang." Sister Hong also has something to do with Dongchang, but Brother Jun is not. ”

"Yes, yes, no, no, what do you mean?" Chi Shuiliu on the side interjected: "Your Highness is not deeply involved in the world, and you don't know much about Dongchang. However, I have heard that Dongchang seems to be mostly eunuchs. And you and Shen Hongxian are women, Gu Yuezhen is not a eunuch, right?"

"The factory of the East Factory... It's my godfather. Ouyang didn't know what he thought, his pretty face turned red, and he said, "Brother Yuezhen is my godfather's apprentice, the only apprentice. As for Sister Hong, she has a good relationship with my godfather. ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang lowered his head apologetically: "I didn't tell Sister Linglong before, because I was afraid of unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles." ”

"Then why did you tell your sister again?" Linglong smiled and patted Ouyang's head, looking unconcerned.

"It was Sister Hong who asked me to say it. Ouyang explained: "Sister Hong said, looking at the posture, it seems that there are big people coming from Dongchang, and now the four gates of Ganzhou City have been put on guard, and the power of Dongchang will be difficult to get out of the city." Not only out of the city, but in this city, it is estimated that it will be a matter of the next few days, and when the time comes... ”

"What's wrong with finding out? Aren't you from Dongchang?" Yue Linglong wondered.

"We smuggled out of the house, so... But we couldn't hide it, so we thought it would be better to take the initiative to 'turn ourselves in'." ”

"Are you also afraid of any accidents?" Chi Shuiliu on the side continued: "The Dongchang Raptors crossed the river, and the local snakes in Ganzhou will definitely not be honestly stabbed, and you are also afraid that you will be found by others first, dragging down your godfather? It's good. I am the only one by His Royal Highness's side, and it is difficult to ensure that I am thorough, so I will go into the yamen of the East Factory with you, and I will have more protection. I just don't know ... Why are you approaching our Highness?"

Chi Shuiliu raised his hand to stop Ouyang's defense before he spoke, and played with the taste: "Don't fool me with the words like the uneven road and the fate before." Your Highness has a good heart, but I don't believe that there are really good people in the world for no reason. Even if it's a lie, there must be a reason for saying it, right?"

"Is the reason important? I believe that Dongchang can keep Her Highness safe, and for this reason alone, Her Royal Highness the Princess should go!"

"Who!"

The three people in the house heard the sound above their heads, and their hearts were shocked, a big hole suddenly broke through the roof, and some thin figures carried the single knife on their backs and fell down: "Why, it's only been a few days, and I can't even hear my voice?"

"Xiaoqing!" Yue Linglong said in surprise: "I knew that you would find me!"

"Her Royal Highness the princess was frightened. Qingsi knelt down on one knee: "Xiaoqing is here." ”
