This attitude should not be.

The drastic reduction of the guards, the indifferent attitude of the Lord of Youlan, these unusual sights made Chi Zhongtian immediately conclude that something must have happened to the Zun Wang's Mansion.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately remembered that he had personally handed over the killer sent by the Emperor to the Emperor.

The reason why he handed it over to the emperor at the beginning was first because the anger in his heart could not be dissipated, and secondly, he also felt that the relationship between King Zun and the emperor should not bring much trouble to King Zun.

However, no matter how powerful Chi Zhongtian is in the martial arts, in the court and in the officialdom, he is indeed still an out-and-out hairy boy, and he can even be said to be very ignorant.

Could it be that that incident really caused trouble for the king?

Thinking of this, a chill suddenly appeared on Chi Zhongtian's body, and he hurriedly walked over and said, "Can you make a pass, I want to see the prince." ”

"You don't need to pass it, if you want to see it, go directly, my father is playing chess in the imperial study. ”

It turned out that the lord of Youlan didn't go far, he was nearby, and this sentence was also what she said.

With the approval of the lord of Youlan, Chi Zhongtian hurriedly walked in.

"General Chi!"

When he passed by the Lord of Youlan, the Lord of Youlan suddenly stopped him.

"County Lord, what do you command? ”

"Before you go to see my father, can I talk to you for a few words?" asked the Lord of Youlan suddenly.

Chi Zhongtian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course you can!"

"You come with me. Seeing that he agreed, the lord of Youlan County beckoned him to go to the side.

After walking for a while, they came to the back garden, which was also the place where she used to come to practice martial arts.

After walking near a cluster of flowers, the Lord of Youlan County stopped, and then pointed to a blooming flower and asked, "It is said that General Chi is erudite and talented, so do you know what kind of flower this is?"

Chi Zhongtian only glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "County Lord, this is celery leaf clematis, a rare thing. ”

"Sure enough, it deserves its name!" Seeing that he answered in an instant, the Lord of Youlan County cast an approving look.

"County Lord, you are not here to enjoy the flowers. Chi Zhongtian asked with a smile.

"Of course, General Chi, I want to ask you, is there any misunderstanding between you and my father?"

Chi Zhongtian was caught off guard by the question, and was quite embarrassed for a while.

"It's okay if you don't admit it, these can't hide it from me, I'm not a child, my father was very cheerful in the past, happy every day, I know you know, I mention you in front of me or others every three or five days, but since you came back from southern Xinjiang, after you left from your father, my father seems to have changed as if he has changed, every day is depressed, no matter how I tease him, it is difficult for him to laugh, even his favorite Go, almost not touched, in the past, as long as he came, he would be pestered for a few hours, but now after a hundred years, he has not even seen, and most importantly, I have not heard your name from his mouth for a long time。 The lord of Youlan looked intently at the celery leaf iron wire, and said these words lightly, in a calm tone, not like a temporary thought, but as if he had been holding back for a long time.

When Chi Zhongtian heard these words, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect the mind of the county lord of Youlan to be so meticulous.

"County Lord, this matter is a long story, there are indeed some small misunderstandings between me and the prince. Chi Zhongtian replied.

"I'm afraid it's not a small misunderstanding. The lord of Youlan said.

Chi Zhongtian sighed, and then said: "County Lord, there are some things that are indeed too troublesome to say, but in the end, it is my fault. ”

"It doesn't matter who is wrong and who is right, you can admit it yourself, I have one less thing on my mind, you go to see your father now, he is in good spirits at this time, and he is playing chess." ”

"Okay, then the county lord, I'll go first. ”

Since the emperor said that he would let him go to Yangzhou to retire, King Zun's heart was already very upset, and he became more helpless, Yongmenzhen's daughter got married, it stands to reason that he would definitely go, but no matter how Yongmenzhen came to invite, he would not go, and there was no reason.

The holy decree has already come down, and the emperor has given him enough face, only saying that the area south of the Yangtze River is very rich, and it is an important town of the country, and he wants to let the king go to supervise the people's feelings, but which of the officials in the court is not a human spirit? Just as soon as he heard it, he heard it, this must be something between the emperor and the king, what kind of supervision of the people's feelings? This is clearly a disguised derogation.

However, the name is still there, and the emperor also chatted with him privately after retiring from the court, and the conversation was very sincere.

These things would have been over a few days earlier, and Chi Zhongtian would definitely not have known about them.

Tomorrow, it's time to go to Yangzhou, everything has already been packed, even though the lord of Youlan is depressed, but now after all, she is still with her father, so she also wants to open some.

Most of the guards of the Zunwang Mansion returned to the Praetorian Guard, they were originally transferred from the Praetorian Guard, and after the Zunwang went to Yangzhou, the emperor sent some imperial guards to act, it is really difficult to say whether it is surveillance or protection.

However, the matter has come to this point, what is the use of thinking too much? Everything is irretrievable, Yangzhou is also a good place, go there to retire by yourself, carefree, it can be regarded as a good death.

Thinking about this, the king's mood gradually improved, and the closer he got to the juncture, the calmer his mood became.

Once the mood improves, this chess addiction will immediately attack.

I'm not in the mood to play chess with Bailing, so let's set up the chess game by myself.

At this moment, King Zun was sitting on a chair in his study, holding an ancient book, and placing it step by step.

It may be that he was in a trance, so Chi Zhongtian stood at the door for a long time, and he didn't know it.

Because they were leaving, there were many fewer servants in the palace, and most of them were going to Yangzhou together, and the rest were also resettled.

"Lord Wang!"

Chi Zhongtian looked at the back of the king, and felt obviously much older than before, the previous king, whether standing or sitting, his waist was always straight, but now, he was so dazzling.

As soon as Chi Zhongtian shouted these two words, the hand that King Zun was about to land on the chessboard suddenly paused, and then, his waist also trembled.

"Click"

There were several sounds in a row, and Chi Zhongtian knew that it was the sound of the chess pieces falling on the board and bounced a few times.
