In the empty hall, tallow candles as thick as an arm occasionally made a crackling sound, illuminating the dragon head next to the seat.

Amidst the flickering sound of candles burning, Zhao Kai knelt in the room and remained motionless, staring at the cracks in the floor tiles in front of him. There was no trace of panic on his face illuminated by the candles.

Zhao Dun was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, looking at Zhao Kai seriously.

The depressing atmosphere made the little eunuch standing nearby hold his breath subconsciously, for fear of causing misfortune, so he never took his eyes away from his toes.

After a long time, Zhao Dun finally spoke.

"Are you going to rebel?"

Even though the words were not directed at him, the little eunuch was still frightened into a cold sweat.

But Zhao Kai remained unmoved and showed no expression on his face.

"I'm asking you something." Zhao Dun said calmly. "Hasn't Han Shengxuan taught you even these rules for so many years?"

"Your Majesty, the master has taught me the rules in the palace, and I have always abided by the rules." Zhao Kai said dryly.

"Then what's your explanation for what happened tonight?"

"Those two eunuchs deserve to die!"

Hearing this, the little eunuch in the room was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he wanted to rush up and block Zhao Kai's mouth.

What happened to Zhao Kai, who was usually so humble that he was almost cowardly, today?

Is he crazy? !

How dare you speak to His Majesty like this!

Zhao Dun also heard the toughness in Zhao Kai's words, frowned slightly, and suddenly raised his hand and waved.

The serving young eunuch, as if he had been granted amnesty, bowed quickly and silently walked backwards out of the house.

After all the eunuchs left, Zhao Dun stood up, walked slowly to Zhao Kai, and said softly: "You hate me?"

"I don't dare."

"It's not that I don't dare, it's not that I'm unwilling." Zhao Dun seemed not to know how heartbreaking his words were, and continued: "Han Shengxuan has spent all the love he has accumulated over the years on you.

As a result, after all these years, you still haven’t made any progress at all. "

Zhao Kai couldn't help clenching his fists, but his head was lowered.

Seeing this, Zhao Dun stretched his hand into the air. Zhao Kai hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his head slightly and gently pressed it against Zhao Dun's palm.

Zhao Dun nodded slightly and continued: "Since I recognize you, you are my son and the prince of Liyang.

The prince of Liyang cannot have waste, you should understand this truth. "

Zhao Kai's body trembled slightly, and his temples were already wet with sweat.

Zhao Dun's tone was not harsh, but it easily shattered the courage he had finally built up.

"I hope that each of your children can become talented. I can wait, but Li Yang cannot wait.

You have talent and courage, but not enough.

Go and be your King of Shu honestly and stop thinking nonsense. "

Zhao Kai was stunned and suddenly remembered Han Shengxuan's instructions. He kowtowed to the ground and said loudly: "My son does not want to leave the capital.

I want to share your Majesty's worries!

My son... I can't bear to leave you, Your Majesty! "

Zhao Dun looked at Zhao Kai lying on the ground and said softly: "Did Han Shengxuan teach you this?"

Zhao Kai didn't reply, his fingers tightly clasped on the ground.

"Is this old dog... looking for death?"

Zhao Dun said it in an understatement, but it sounded like thunder in Zhao Kai's ears. Zhao Kai quickly said: "Master, he..."

"There is no need to cover up for him, this is the last time." Zhao Dun's voice gradually became colder and he said softly: "Han Shengxuan will spend his whole life in exchange for you to stay in the capital, so you should cherish it.

Good for it.

Go find your second master, I am tired. "

Without waiting for Zhao Kai to speak, Zhao Kai left the room.

Zhao Kai was the only one left in the hall. After an unknown amount of time, he finally stood up slowly and looked at the high dragon chair. Tears suddenly fell from his eyes, and he spoke softly after a moment.

"father?"

......

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"

Following the sound of a few bangs from the watchman, a few dogs barked sporadically in the night sky.

The watchman looked around and found nothing unusual, so he continued walking to the next street intersection.

Not long after he left, the green bricks on the ground suddenly shook twice. There was only a soft pop sound, and several green bricks quietly shattered. A gray-faced figure emerged from it, jumped up, and quickly melted into the darkness. .

Lu Yuan kept his feet and flew over the roof without letting the loose tiles make the slightest sound.

Hong Shun was quite honest and handed over his route for reselling contraband.

Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways. In order to keep this "chicken that lays golden eggs", Hong Shun spent a lot of money and effort, and now Lu Yuan takes advantage.

Lu Yueying pointed his finger lightly, and it passed over several rooftops like a stream of blue smoke. Before he could think of a way to find traces of Huang Longshi, an old voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"The fourth house on Fushun Street in the west of the city."

Lu Yuan, who was running, showed a look of solemnity. He twisted his waist and turned slightly in the air. With a slight movement of energy, he shot to the west like an arrow off the string.

After a cup of tea, Lu Yuan stood in front of the house. After adjusting his physical condition to the best, he gently knocked on the door.

The door opened slightly, revealing Li Baishi's stunning face.

When she saw the embarrassed Lu Yuan, she was startled for a moment, then quickly put away the surprise in her eyes, lowered her head and whispered softly: "The ancestor is already waiting for you in the main hall."

"Who, who?" A dissatisfied voice sounded from behind Li Baishi, "You come to visit us late at night, do you understand the rules?"

When he saw Lu Yuan's handsome face that could not be covered by dust, Wen Hua's eyes immediately turned evil, "Boy, who are you?"

"Sifang Escort Bureau, Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan looked at Wen Hua, and when he saw the wooden sword on his waist, he had already guessed his identity.

"Gan! You are the Jade Faced King Kong!"

Wen Hua couldn't help but exclaimed, and reached out to pull out the wooden sword from his waist, but was stopped by Li Baishi: "Young Master Wen, he is a distinguished guest invited by our ancestors."

"Dignified guest?" Wen Hua held the wooden sword and said nervously: "Whose distinguished guest is coming in the middle of the night!"

Coming to the door in the middle of the night is either to report a funeral or to seek revenge.

Miss Li, don’t let his skin deceive you.

This guy is here to cause trouble! "

"Young Master Wen, don't make trouble. Our ancestors have been waiting for a long time." Li Baishi's eyes flashed with uneasiness, and his tone became a little heavier.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had no intention of taking action, Wen Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said sourly to Li Baishi: "Miss Li, don't you care about my safety at all?

I am very sad at the moment..."

Li Baishi rolled his eyes at him, gave Lu Yuan a blessing, and said softly: "Master, please move."

Lu Yuan followed Li Baishi around the screen wall, passed through the yard full of exotic flowers and plants, and stood in front of the main hall.

Li Baishi raised his hand, knocked on the door twice, and said softly: "Ancestor, the distinguished guest has arrived."

"Let him come in, and you and Wen Hua leave."

Before Li Baishi could reply, Wen Hua shouted, "Old Huangtou, you are not interesting enough!

We are all our own people, why should we hide them? ! "

"Then you compete with swords now. If you win, you can come in."

Hearing this, a light flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, and he glanced at Wen Hua without revealing any trace.

Wen Hua didn't notice Lu Yuan's eyes, smiled and scratched his head and said: "I was joking.

You guys chat, call me if you need anything.

By the way, Old Huangtou, I seemed to have a bad stomach yesterday. I can't make a move for three days... no, seven days. I think the date of the competition will be postponed for a few days.

Miss Li, don’t leave yet. The moonlight is just right tonight, how about we enjoy the moon together..."

Wen Hua chased Li Baishi, and Lu Yuan looked away, let out a breath, and slowly pushed the door open with one hand.

This room is not big, but it is extremely elegant.

On both sides of the door, there were two tall copper incense burners. A refreshing aroma slowly came out of the holes along with clear white smoke and spread throughout the room.

Huang Longshi sat facing the door, with two cups of steaming hot tea in his hands. The sandalwood table was polished so brightly that it even reflected the exquisite patterns on the teacups.

Lu Yuan didn't hesitate at all, walked quickly to Huang Longshi and sat down next to him.

Huang Longshi gently pushed a cup of tea towards Lu Yuan and asked, "Isn't this going to be a difficult journey?"

"Thanks to you, it's not an easy journey." Lu Yuan, who had been running around for many days, raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Huang Longshi was not dissatisfied at all with Lu Yuan's way of drinking. He personally refilled the water for Lu Yuan and continued: "Drink slowly, don't be in a hurry.

You and I have plenty of time tonight. "
