Quickly wear: There are always those who are not afraid of death and want to torture me

Late at night, the inn was lonely.

In such an extremely quiet atmosphere, any sound will become particularly noticeable.

Mo Qin slept enough during the day, and could only take a nap at night.

Suddenly, a subtle "click" sound came from the window.Mo Qin immediately opened his eyes and looked around.

But against the flickering candlelight, a young man with a jade-like face crawled in from the window.He made a "shush" gesture to Mo Qin from afar - a sign of silence.

He walked quietly to the bed.

Before Li Shuozhen could do anything to save Mo Qin from Xiao Luoyan, suddenly, a clear and deep voice suddenly sounded in the silent room---

"Li Shuozhen, what are you doing?"

Li Shuozhen was so frightened that he staggered and fell to the ground.There was a loud "boom" sound.

Then, as the light of Huozhezi lit up, Xiao Luoyan sat up on the bed.

He held a black hawk in one hand and a fire stick in the other, looking calmly at the subordinates who broke into the room.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty... I really don't trust my bird, so I lost my mind and broke into the room at night. Please forgive me." Li Shuozhen hurriedly got up from the ground, bent one knee, and apologized honestly.But his eyes secretly glanced at the little black eagle held in Xiao Luoyan's hands.

Li Shuozhen's room is next door.However, he really cared about Mo Qin.

Xiao Luoyan didn't know why, but refused to return Mo Qin to him. He asked, "I am fully responsible for the grace of saving my life."A few words made it impossible for him to mention it again.

In order to rescue Mo Qin, but also because he was afraid that his secret would be exposed, Li Shuozhen sneaked into the prince's room late at night to look for him.

However, he did not expect that the prince would put Mo Qin on the couch to sleep with him when he was sleeping.What's more, he didn't expect that the prince would wake up and catch him.

In the middle of the night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who sat up in shock and encountered his subordinate's night visit, did not get too angry.Instead, he put on a robe and stood up, poured a glass of cold water to drink, and did not forget to confine the little black eagle in his arms.

With his pale eyes open, he completely ignored the struggle of a certain bird under his palm to pounce towards his master, and said calmly: "I have already said that he is kind to me. I will not treat him badly. Him. Do you think I will abuse him?"

Li Shuozhen gritted his teeth and said: "Of course not. I am afraid that Xiao Hei will disturb His Highness' rest."

"Xiao Hei..." Xiao Luoyan lowered his head thoughtfully and touched the feathers on Mo Qin's back, "What an unpleasant name."

Mo Qin wanted to fly towards Li Shuozhen, but Xiao Luoyan pinched the roots of his wings to stop him.

He said in a cold voice: "The spirit is so good, it seems to be almost in good condition. I will return it to you tomorrow. You can go back first."

"Your Highness, Xiao Hei is my bird after all..."

However, Xiao Luoyan just looked at him coldly and arrogantly, and said with a somewhat stern tone: "Wuzhao broke into my room at night and punished you to stay vigil on the beam tonight. Okay, let's go."

At this point, Li Shuozhen had no choice but to accept the order.Before leaving, I seemed to hear a cry of pain from the prince, and a complaint of "Just protecting the Lord like this?"

The next day, Mo Qin returned to Li Shuozhen angrily.Standing on the young man's shoulders again.He spread his wings to demonstrate to Xiao Luoyan in the carriage.

This guy went too far. He kept other people's birds and punished other people's owners.

If Mo Qin hadn't really wanted to lose face, he would have given Xiao Luoyan a critical blow on the bed to let him know that sleeping with a bird was not a good decision.

Xiao Luoyan only glanced at him through the window and commented lightly: "Your eagle is in good health. It only took a day to recover."

Li Shuozhen didn't sleep all night, but was in good spirits.

He carefully inspected Moqin's injured area and then solemnly expressed his gratitude to the prince.

The 14-year-old boy has already received a lot of training in the East Palace and the school field.He is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and narrow waist.He looks like a handsome and neat personal bodyguard.

His only concern, besides the Zhenguo Palace in the capital, was the little black eagle standing on his shoulder.

Mo Qin's injury has recovered.On the way, I would fly out from time to time to find some novel things to give to Li Shuozhen.

Sometimes it's a leaf, sometimes it's a flower.

Even the internal eunuch of the East Palace said that this eagle was too humane and the relationship between them was too good.

Xiao Luoyan never commented on Mo Qin again.I just occasionally lift the curtain and take a look at the interaction between people and birds outside.The color of his eyes is deep and unpredictable.

As they continued to advance towards Longzhou, news from all sources came in like snowflakes.

It is said that the Xue family of Longzhou covers the sky with one hand, and Xue Changju, the governor of Jiedu, supports his troops and respects himself, so he will definitely raise his troops to rebel in the near future.

It is said that the Xue family imposed exorbitant taxes and engaged in large-scale corvee labor in the name of the imperial court, oppressing the people and making them miserable.

It is also said that the Xue family, because they were relatives of the emperor, Mrs. Xue's mother's family, and had the support of the second prince, settled in Longzhou and became the emperor of Longzhou, and even Prince Jing did not look down upon it.

Nothing good to say anyway.

The reason why these "great achievements" of the Xue family have never reached the capital is because local officials have been colluding with Xue Changju all year round, thus concealing the truth from the court and bullying the people, forming a vicious closed loop.

This is also the reason why there are so many people in the Second Prince's party in the court.

The closer you get to Longzhou, the more assassins come to kill you.

The night before they were about to arrive in Qing'an, the capital of Longzhou, it rained heavily and the road was difficult to travel.

The carriage was driving on a mountain road, with cliffs on one side and gables on the other.

Just then, a group of people rushed out.By the light of the torches, the bandit costumes on their bodies could be clearly seen.

However, this road is an official road, and it is very close to Qing'an City.There are bandits here, and I can't figure it out no matter how hard I think about it.

Li Shuozhen and others quickly concluded that these people were assassins sent from Qing'an City.

A great battle begins.

Under the cover of heavy rain and darkness, Moqin was finally able to cast some spells.

He first used a few tricks to throw a few thieves down the mountain, and then used a blind trick to make several other gangsters kill each other.

Because the battle situation was complicated, he was confident that his actions would not be discovered.

However, soon, a group of men in black ran out from another mountain road.

Seeing this, Xiao Luoyan's originally relaxed brows frowned - is it another enemy?

Without saying a word, the men in black picked up the guy and joined the fight. They crossed their swords and greeted the group of "bandits".

After seeing that the visitor was a friendly force, Xiao Luoyan frowned even more tightly.

With the concerted efforts of the men in black and the secret guards of the East Palace, the "bandits" at the beginning were finally unable to resist and quickly dispersed.

Xiao Luoyan coldly ordered: "Catch them alive."

Li Shuozhen frowned, and simply and roughly cut off the arm of a fleeing bandit, cut his hamstrings, and lifted him over.

At this time, the leader of the men in black also came to Xiao Luoyan, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists, and saluted: "My subordinate's rescue was late, please forgive me, Prince Edward."

Xiao Luoyan gave him a cold look, which was a bit unfathomable.

Asked: "Who do you belong to?"

The man in black replied: "Prince Jing heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was out incognito on a patrol in Longzhou, so he sent his subordinates to come and meet him."
