withered prosperity

Murong Yu kept going around in circles in the room.

"Princess, sit down and have a rest!" Mao Jiang, who was sitting at the table, was dizzy when she turned around.

"What are you resting?" Murong Yu was angry: "Hei Lang, you should explain clearly why you did that?"

Hei Lang bowed his head and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Do you think it's okay if you don't talk?" Murong Yu walked in front of him and kicked him: "Why did you hit me on purpose? Tell me!"

Mao Jiang couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and pulled Murong Yu away.

"Maomao, don't stop me, don't you know what he did just now? It was murder!" Murong Yu waved him away and insisted on asking clearly: "You want to use my hand to kill Yan Hai. Why don't you tell me clearly!"

Heilang let out a grunt from his throat, but he still didn't speak.

"Hei Lang." Mao Jiang stood between them: "If you have any reason, just say it, how come you have learned to hide it from the princess?"

Hei Lang raised his head, staring at Murong Yu with a pair of red eyes.

"Say it!" Murong Yu suddenly felt a little short of breath, this unlucky child looked so pitiful.

"That person...is very dangerous." Hei Lang lowered his head, "I'm going to kill him."

"Yan Hai?" Murong Yu was stunned: "Dangerous?"

Then she just laughed.

"You said Yan Hai is dangerous? Does he look so sick? Anyone of us can knock him down with a single punch." Murong Yu put on a soft-handed look: "Did you eat bad things these days? Did you throw up so stupid again?"

Hei Lang was very angry, he had always liked the princess the most, but he decided to remove the word "most" from this moment on.

"It's not that kind." Hei Lang lowered his head, but couldn't explain clearly: "To protect the princess..."

"Princess, the black wolf will never do this without a reason." Mao Jiang stood up and spoke for him: "Besides, you should have seen it just now, that Yan Hai and Cheng Wang are not only old acquaintances, but also the relationship between them is extraordinary , and that 'assassin'..."

"Thinking about it, it seems that there are traces to follow. When he was in Chaomu Pavilion, Cheng Wang's attitude towards Yan Hai was very strange. It would not be surprising if they were really old acquaintances." Murong Yu pondered for a moment: "Black Wolf, you have good ears, did you hear what he said to King Cheng in the yard?"

"He spoke so softly that I couldn't hear him clearly, I just heard him say 'cut off the head'."

"I heard Prince Cheng calling him Cui what."

"Mr. Cuiwei." Hei Lang said quickly, "I yelled a few times, but I can hear it quite clearly."

"Maomao, have you heard of this name?"

Mao Jiang shook his head.

"You send a message to Murong Ji and tell him about this." Murong Yu made a decision: "I'll go and see Yan Hai first."

Yan Hai opened his eyes.

Bright light came in from the tall flower windows, illuminating the people sitting there.

"Yun Ji." He asked a little confused, "What time is it?"

The man approached.

Recently, I seem to have had such a dream...

"Yue Qingbi?" He murmured, "Who made you like Yin Jiu? If you liked me, I wouldn't kill you."

The man had already walked to the bed and looked down at him.

"You are so good-looking, after killing you, I have always regretted it." Yan Hai smiled slightly: "But I met a more beautiful person later, his name is Yun Ji."

The man lowered his head, a strand of his long hair fell onto Yan Hai's face.

"Yun Ji, you are the prettiest." Yan Hai said to him, "You are even more beautiful than Yue Qingbi, so I like you the most."

"Who the hell are you?" the man asked him.

"How can you ask me?" He stretched out his hand and touched the covered face: "Yun Ji, take a look at me, seriously, take a look at me!"

The two looked at each other and were relatively speechless.

The mask that was tightly attached to his face suddenly became hot, he tilted his head back in a panic, and got rid of that daring hand.

Yan Hai watched him almost rush out the door, raised his hand and touched his forehead, feeling that the heat had subsided.

"It's the same as before!" He laughed.

But in a blink of an eye, the laughter gradually died down again.

"It's a pity..." He sighed, but unfortunately he didn't say anything further.

King Cheng's motorcade rested in this place for five full days before resuming their journey.

Everyone kept secret what happened that night, and no one dared to mention it.

If you want to talk about those anecdotes that spread among the countryside, of course everyone has heard of them, but no one has seen them with their own eyes.

However, there is such a rule in the regulations of the current court that if you spread grotesquely, you will be punished severely.

It is said that the reason for such an article is that the post of national teacher was set up in the previous dynasty, and the position was high and powerful. After the emperor believed in it, he suffered from it. In the end, it took a lot of effort to put down the chaos. ", it is precisely because of this chaos that laid the foundation for the decline of the previous dynasty.

After the establishment of the current dynasty, this is regarded as a lesson for the past. Although monks, temples and Taoism have not been completely abandoned, if there is nowhere to promote it, the way of gods and ghosts will eventually be illusory. continued.

What's more, this time it happened to King Cheng.

If it is possible, everyone hopes that they did not appear near that courtyard that night, and did not see those strange things happen.

Even Princess Murong, who has always dared to speak and act, only described it lightly as "dealing with assassins".

Yes, there was an assassin who wanted to assassinate King Cheng that night, killed several guards, and was finally killed on the spot by the master next to Princess Chilian.

As for the details, King Cheng didn't pursue them, so how could others have room for doubt?

"Tell me, what's in there?" Murong Yu pointed at the black carriage in front of him with his chin.

Originally, there was a coffin inside, and a corpse was lying in the coffin, but now...

"Naturally it is the jade body of the princess." Mao Jiang replied, "Could it be something else?"

"I'm afraid there is nothing."

"No." Mao Jiang's voice became even lower. "In the middle of the night two days ago, someone sent something in."

"Prince Cheng is too hasty." Murong Yu raised his eyebrows: "Princess is the daughter of a nobleman from Xiyi. Is it appropriate to be casual in this kind of place?"

"Although there are no masters around the lord, the one next to Princess Chilian has extraordinary eyes and ears. I told Hei Lang not to get too close, and I don't know what's going on behind." We will do other actions when we arrive in Beijing.”

Murong Yu looked at the carriage behind him again.

"The princess hasn't seen anyone yet?"

"Hey!" Mentioning this matter, Murong Yu laughed angrily: "I made a lot of excuses, but I still won't let me see, just like guarding me against a thief."

"After returning to Shangjing, I will definitely punish Heilang severely."

"Forget it." Murong Yu glanced at him: "I've been wounded and disabled, why don't you remember hating me for the rest of your life?"

"Orders and orders are prohibited. As an officer, I am not effective in discipline, so I should also be punished."

"Anyway, I begged for mercy. It's your business if you refuse."

"The black wolf won't complain."

"You have developed feelings for him. I remember when Murong Ji entrusted him to you to raise him, you were absolutely unwilling."

"Hei Lang is simple in nature and is a very good boy."

"Punishment shall be punished, and this matter is with the three of us." Murong Yu rolled his eyes: "Anyway, I drank too much alcohol and encountered that kind of thing again. It is understandable for my hands to shake."

"Thank you, Princess."

"Alas—" Murong Yu sighed, "I just hope that Yan Hai doesn't hate me, otherwise I won't be able to get along well in the future!"

Nothing happened along the way, and the group arrived in Shangjing safely.

It's just that the day we finally arrived, the weather was not very good.

Looking east from a slightly higher hill, under the gloomy and dark clouds, the city wall of Shangjing is towering, simple and magnificent, and the border cannot be seen at a glance.

"Shangjing has been established for a hundred years, and now there are millions of people living here. It is a unique metropolis in the world."

"Princess." Yan Hai turned his head away and saluted Murong Yu behind him.

"I haven't talked to you all this time." Murong Yu threw the reins of the horse in his hand to Hei Lang. "I don't even have a chance to make amends. I feel very uneasy."

Hei Lang's hostile eyes were still looking at Yan Hai without blinking.

"Go! Don't be an eyesore here!" Murong Yu glared at him, and he led the horse away resentfully.

"Where is the theory of apology?" Yan Hai smiled at her: "Is the princess trying to torture me?"

"It was all because I drank too much that day." Murong Yu rubbed his nose: "You can't blame me, who knew that kind of thing would happen, at first I thought I was dreaming!"

"No wonder the princess, you were also frightened."

"Let's say something in private." Murong Yu took a few steps forward, and when he was very close to him, his expression and words were somewhat ambiguous: "I was actually not that scared that night, maybe I was scared by you later... ...the hand just shook a little bit."

"Oh?" Yan Hai was a little surprised: "I was a little confused that day, I don't know if I lost my composure?"

"Not really, but the Yan Hai that night always felt different from the Yan Hai I knew!" Murong Yu laughed, but her gaze was fixed on him.

"The princess may have drunk too much."

"Yan Hai." Murong Yu moved closer: "You have a big secret!"

"Isn't the princess the same?" Yan Hai looked at her with a smile: "His appearance is good, but his spirit is difficult to resemble. In addition, as you get older, in the future..."

When he said this, he lost his voice.

Murong Yu's eye sockets twitched slightly, and the smile froze on his face.

A water bag was inserted in front of Yan Hai and Murong Yu, interrupting the two of them looking at each other.

"Mr. Xiao." Murong Yu's voice was a little dry, and the smile on his face was unnatural.

"Princess!" Fortunately, at this time, Mao Jiang came to call her. "The prince came out of the city to pick you up. Hurry up and change your clothes in the carriage. If the prince sees you, you will be angry again!"

Murong Yu greeted the two of them, and then ran away with Mao Jiang.

Yan Hai took the water bag from Xiao's hand and thanked him.

Xiao Xiao didn't say anything, just stood by his side.

The two looked east side by side.

"Look, the sky is dark and heavy, and the wind and rain are about to come, unstoppable." Yan Hai looked at Shangjing, which was surrounded by black clouds, and said to him. "I only hope that this storm will be in this city."

"Everyone in the world says that the creation of heaven and earth cannot be taken away by manpower." Xiao finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse and low: "But time is destiny, and if I use my ability, I can't know it."

Yan Hai froze for a moment, then turned to look at him.

The east wind blows fiercely through the air.

On the wide official road, a row of light cavalry broke through the crowd and came this way.
