Chapter 417

The night in the countryside is very rough, and the sparse moonlight falling down is very beautiful.

In the courtyard of the village chief's house, Chaoyang and his party and the village chief were speechless.

After a while, the village head knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said respectfully, "Welcome Your Highness Princess and Your Highness Crown Prince!".And the peasant woman hiding behind the door of the room was surprised and hurriedly covered her mouth, the shock in her eyes was obvious, princess, prince, could it be...?

"Guard Cao, you're fine," Chaoyang said with a calm smile. No one could understand what she was thinking with the depth in her eyes.

Cao Gui, who used to be a small guard in the palace, was beaten to death seven years ago for offending the royal family.He was originally an insignificant person, and it was a very common thing for a small guard to die in the place where people cannibalized in the palace.

But the difference is that his father asked him to fake his death and leave the city, in order to come here to occupy some favorable position.Cao Gui is also doing very well, he can be in front of the weak village head here, or the leader of the bandits in the mountains.

This is also the reason why the villagers here have not fled yet, and few people have starved to death, because Cao Gui is protecting them.

Of course, there are naturally people from the previous army in the bandit den, but they are hidden.

Chaoyang doesn't know how many people are surrendering now, and he doesn't care. He just wants them to know who they are serving now and whose hands their lives are in.Don't think that you can get some freedom and you have escaped.

Never underestimate the methods used in a palace to control a servant.

"Your subordinates have been waiting here for a long time," Cao Gui still bowed his head and said respectfully, but there was a complicated look in his eyes.

The previous him was apprehensive and restless when he first came out, fearing that he would be silenced as soon as he came out of the city gate.

But after seven years of this kind of life, he lived in the place designated by the emperor for seven years, but he did not dare to have children after getting married, because he was a person who was fed poison.

And if you know too many secrets, you will worry that one day you will be suddenly silenced.It wasn't until a month ago that the palace had changed. At that time, he knew that his comfortable days were not running out.

Chaoyang looked at him for a while, but didn't let him get up, but stood up and looked at the night scene in the mountains beyond the fence and said quietly, "Have you ever hated, or have you ever been tempted?".The royal family talks about loyalty, but loyalty seems ironic to the royal family.

Cao Gui's eyes struggled for a while before he said firmly, "I have hated and wavered, but I have become firm."He is telling the truth.

Because he didn't know how much life he had left, but if he didn't have an antidote for a day, he would not dare to do anything, and he would resent him.But these thoughts have passed, and there is no way. The world is so big that it is the king's land, and the emperor's control is beyond the imagination of their subjects.

Chaoyang laughed a lot more real this time, "Get up."Cao Gui stood up, but also stood respectfully.

"What do you think of the current situation?" Chaoyang said with a smile on his hands behind his back.

"Subordinates are dull," Cao Gui replied dryly.

Chaoyang was not angry either, but smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, stupid people also have stupid people's thoughts. As for me, I just want to hear your thoughts."Although it is smiling, it gives people an irresistible deterrent.Cao Shi, who was hiding behind the door, didn't dare to speak out, and Liu Qiang, Qingzhu, and Chaoyue also didn't dare to speak out.
