bad

Dismount from the horse outside the gate of the Erdao Palace, and travel unimpeded all the way.

The palace was always quiet, but today it was too quiet, as if everyone in the palace had disappeared.

Of course the person didn't really disappear, and the faces of the palace people he met on the road showed no abnormality, and they greeted the two of them as usual.When the eaves of Taiming Hall could be seen from a distance, a huge crow spread its wings and flew from the eaves. The desolate cry made Xu Boyuan twitch suddenly, and grabbed Ying Zhou beside him.

"Well?"

There was a thin layer of sweat on Xu Boyuan's palms, seeing that his brows were furrowed, Ying Zhou thought he was worried about Xu Jingluan, so he said, "Ah Luan still has the immortal power of Ziyuhuan in his body, it will be fine."

These words did not comfort Xu Boyuan, on the contrary, the strangeness in his heart became even worse, Xu Boyuan said: "Ying Zhou, I'll go alone, you go back to the palace and wait for me."

Ying Zhou was already keen in some aspects, and after spending so long with him, he could see through his emotions better than Xu Boyuan thought, so he smiled and asked, "Are you worried about me?"

Xu Boyuan opened his sleeve to reveal the black seal on his wrist, and pressed it with his fingertips, "Tell me the truth, this seal really has no effect on you?"

Ying Zhou paused and shook his head, "I don't know what will happen, but I don't have trouble so easily."

Xu Boyuan looked at him silently, and said after a while: "Ying Zhou, if there is anything you must tell me, I may not be able to do anything, but at least you must let me know."

Ying Zhou grabbed his hand and led him forward, smiled and said, "Okay."

Some things can be said, such as the many things he saw in the world, the ups and downs, and the impermanence of the world.He wanted to share it with Xu Boyuan, because those things were irrelevant.

But there are some things that he couldn't explain to Xu Boyuan. For example, at this time, or the moment he just entered the palace gate, he felt the same demon power as contained in the magic seal on his wrist, bubbling from the front of Taiming Hall, It came from the person behind the scenes who set up the overall situation when he entered the mortal world and took every step of the way.The other party has been hiding himself all this time, but now he exposes himself so brazenly, how could he let Xu Boyuan enter the palace alone.

Furthermore, the other party probably came here for him, if it was really just to deal with Xu Boyuan, they could have done it long before he came to the world.

In front of the Taiming Hall, Xu Li stood alone on the high platform, looking at the two walking hand in hand in the distance, feeling absurdly familiar in his heart.

It wasn't until the two of them walked in front of him that he remembered when he had seen a similar scene.

On the second day after Long raised his head, he stood here with all the civil and military officials, looking down at Xu Boyuan and Ying Zhou who were surrounded by the imperial guards. They were not as close as they are now, but everything was predestined. Earlier, it was already destined to become what it is today.

It doesn't seem to be different, but in fact everything is different.

At that time, even though he was surrounded by people, he still felt afraid. The fear of the unknown made him unable to trust anyone around him.But at least at this moment, he can stand here calmly, watching Xu Boyuan walking step by step and maintain a basic calmness, because his state of mind is completely different.Thinking about it in another way, being used by others is not an opportunity for him to use other people's hands in turn to accomplish what he has always wanted to do but can't do.

"Your Highness." Xu Boyuan saluted him.

Xu Li stared at him, and waved his hand away after a long time.

This might be the last time, just thinking about it, the anticipation and excitement surging in his chest washed away the insignificant sense of guilt, and he couldn't wait to get up.

"Your Highness, where is Aluan now?"

Xu Li said: "Of course it is in the harem, Concubine Li Hui is taking care of it."

Xu Boyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is Ah Luan really sick?"

Xu Li smiled, and mocked: "Ah Luan has always been very healthy, how can you say that you are sick and then you are sick."

Xu Boyuan held Ying Zhou's hand tightly, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Xu Li was silent for a moment, then said: "Cousin, actually Gu... I have always envied you since I was a child."

This is not something he only realized at this moment. From a very young age, he clearly understood that he envied Xu Boyuan very much.Not only because Xu Boyuan was superior to him in everything, but more because, in his eyes when he was young, Xu Boyuan was omnipotent.

As the elder brother, Xu Boyuan is undoubtedly excellent. At that time, he didn't understand what it meant for an elder brother to be outstanding. He was just envious and hoped that he could become a person like Xu Boyuan.

It's a pity that God didn't want it.

"...Your Highness, why did you say that? I'm terrified."

Xu Li raised one corner of her lips, "Afraid? If you are really terrified, why do you have to fight against Gu in everything? Gu is the crown prince, so you come to seize the throne; What a 'panic'! Heh...Cousin, do you feel that you are sure of winning after you have obtained the imperial decree, and you feel that Gu will be your defeat sooner or later, and you have already put Gu in your eyes!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became. At the last sentence, he was already yelling angrily. Xu Boyuan and Ying Zhou turned their heads and looked at each other at the same time. This tacit movement made Xu Li even more annoyed, and shouted: "I'm telling you! Don't even think about it." !"

He raised his hand, pointed at the two people below and shouted: "Come here! Take down this rebellious minister and traitor for me—!"

In an instant, countless iron armors poured out from all directions of the palace, surrounding the two of them impenetrably, Ying Zhou was restless, Xu Boyuan squeezed his hand, and calmly said: "I have never had the intention of treason, I can't afford to Your Highness said, 'A traitor and a traitor'."

Xu Li smiled coldly and waved his hand. The eunuch behind him handed over a volume of bright and yellow imperial decree. He took it and shook it open, "The imperial army searched this forged imperial decree to pass the throne in Prince Yu's mansion. How dare you say that you have no intention of rebelling against me?" !"

Xu Boyuan's pupils froze, and he immediately realized that the imperial decree in Xu Li's hand was not the one in his hand - he had already entrusted the imperial decree to Dai Zheng for safekeeping, and it was absolutely impossible for Dai Zheng to betray him!

At this moment, the inner eunuch behind Xu Li raised his head, with a gentle and strange smile on his bony face, "Your Highness, it's useless to talk too much, it's better to take down the traitor first, and then we'll try it later."

Xu Li closed her eyes severely, "Do it!"

The melee was on the verge of breaking out, and the iron armor and shields advanced together.

The moment Xu Boyuan put his hand on the hilt of the sword, Ying Zhou's fan bone swept away the people beside him and flew straight away. With the momentum of thunder, no matter how many people came, it was impossible to stop them.

Sitong smiled and said: "The minister said earlier that ordinary methods can't restrain him. Now that things are going on, His Highness still can't make up his mind?"

Xu Li pursed her lips, her eyes turned red, "You swear, you won't hurt their lives."

A red light flashed in Sitong's eyes, "Naturally, even if I want to hurt the immortal body of the national teacher, I can't do it."

Xu Li turned her head away, her shoulders trembling slightly, "Then you... just do it."

Sitong said with a smile: "The minister accepts the decree."

The moment his words fell, suddenly on the ground under Ying Zhou and Xu Boyuan's feet, several black lights stretched like snake shadows, like a thick ink peony slowly blooming, getting bigger and bigger,

At the same time, the guards backed away neatly. Amidst the sound of tens of thousands of footsteps, a roar of a tiger came straight to their ears. Xu Boyuan and Ying Zhou raised their heads at the same time, and saw the snow-colored man on the eaves carved with dragons and phoenixes in Taiming Hall. The white tiger, with golden tiger eyes watching them quietly, was Xiao Bai who left a month ago.

Xu Li was surprised: "...Xiaobai?"

Sibi made a silent gesture and said with a smile, "Now it's time to call him Tiger King."

The sudden sharp pain on the wrist seemed to be split open by someone, and it was directly stuffed into the brain, leaving no room for it, causing Ying Zhou's eyes to go dark, and he almost fell down, but fortunately Xu Boyuan had sharp eyesight and quickly supported him.

"Ying Zhou!"

Xu Boyuan supported him half kneeling on the ground, "What's wrong with you?"

"Bai..." Ying Zhou grabbed Xu Boyuan's wrist, but because of the pain, he couldn't say another word.

The white tiger jumped down from the eaves and landed dozens of steps away. Ying Zhou raised his head and saw him walking straight forward. As he got closer, his body shape suddenly changed, gradually turning into a young man with white hair and blond hair. Hitomi, whose face has not yet faded the animal lines, is wearing a silver-white tunic, is not tall, and has a halo of light in his pale hands.

Ying Zhou's pupils contracted violently, and the moment the young man raised his hand, the Huagu fan flashed in front of Xu Boyuan, and the halo of light exploded around them, blasting the ground made of green bricks into pitch black, smashing the bricks into pieces. all over the floor.

"Tsk," the young man raised his chin impatiently as he missed the blow.

"..." Ying Zhou's fingertips flashed a silver light, and he threw a thin line to the side, connecting his fingertips with the boy's neck.

A mocking smile appeared on the young man's exquisite and flamboyant face, "Why, you want to hurt me with the life and death contract again?"

Ying Zhou sighed silently, he never thought of hurting Xiao Bai.

The young man turned his head to look at Xu Boyuan, but he said to Ying Zhou, "Just because of this kind of trash, if you make it like this, the more you live, the more you will go back."

Xu Boyuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, Xiaobai didn't seem to be controlled by illusion, but he showed such strong hostility towards him and Ying Zhou.

He wanted to draw his sword, but Ying Zhou pressed his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't go...he can't hurt me."

"Ha!" With keen animal ears, Xiao Bai burst out laughing, "Yes, I can't hurt you."

Before he could finish speaking, his body turned into a white light and charged towards Xu Boyuan. Xu Boyuan only felt that someone had hit his abdomen hard. He opened his eyes with a muffled grunt, and saw the young man standing in front of him, grabbing his collar with one hand, his golden eyes erected into a thin line, and sharp animal teeth showing in his gritted smile, "But I could kill him."

The young man raised his other hand, the halo quickly condensed, and was about to pat Xu Boyuan's forehead, when Ying Zhou raised his hand suddenly and shouted: "Bai Xian!"

The silver thread on his fingertips was shining brightly, restraining the boy's movements in an instant.

Xu Boyuan recovered from the dizziness of the impact, grabbed Xiaobai's wrist that was holding his collar and pulled it away, and drew the sword with the other hand, and hit Xiaobai Nian's waist hard on the back of the hilt, tightly Then the arms tensed and pushed back, pushing Xiaobai violently to the wall, while he touched the ground with his toes, and retreated a distance of two feet.

As soon as he landed on the ground, he turned around and ran towards Ying Zhou, but Xiao Bai shouted behind him: "Sitong! Are you standing and watching the show?!"

Under the hood of black light, a translucent wall was formed between him and Ying Zhou, but within a distance of less than twenty steps, Xu Boyuan could not run to Ying Zhou's side no matter what——

The internal supervisor beside Xu Li flew down and landed beside Ying Zhou.

The clothes on his body changed into a pitch-black robe, wrapping a thin and pale body, and a magma-like scarlet light flowed through his sharp eyes.

Sitong squatted in front of Ying Zhou, raised Ying Zhou's pale chin, and said with a smile, "Bu Zhou Tiger, how do you feel about my curse?"

The author has something to say: the next volume is coming soon, I am a little excited
