No second minister

"You child, do you understand etiquette, and you interrupt when adults talk?"

Liu Hongzhi said disdainfully.

Yue Zhi made an expression as if he heard some joke.

"I can't say it, or I don't want to say it, I don't want to admit it, so I use this sentence to prevaricate, but since you want to care about etiquette, I also ask you, what kind of etiquette is it if you say that I am more stubborn in front of me?" .”

Liu Hongzhi was so blocked that he couldn't speak, but he wanted to make a move but was stopped by Xu Borong.

"If you want to touch him, you want to touch me."

Liu Hongzhi hadn't fully reacted yet, but Yue Zhi could hear clearly, he was stunned, his eyes looked at Xu Borong's mouth opened but he couldn't speak.

Liu Hongzhi didn't have time to withdraw his hand.

Yue Zhi received a solid slap on the face.

"It's so ruthless, this fellow."

As usual, Yue Zhi was determined to fight for his life with Liu Hongzhi, but today and Xu Borong's words made him unable to make a move.

"Call back."

Xu Borong looked more stubborn, his words were light, indeed in a tone of absolute command, this time not only became more persistent, but Liu Hongzhi who recovered from his senses was also stunned.

The door-to-door opportunity is not in vain.

The more persistent I think.

His palm was picky, it wasn't heavy, but it was enough for Liu Hongzhi to remember him.

Yue Zhi finished the beating, clapped his hands contentedly, and looked at Xu Borong with his arms around his chest, looking like a full-fledged bully.

Xu Borong stretched out his hand to pull him onto the horse, and then said slowly.

"Yuezhi was the one who saved me. Now that he is dead, Chengye will be my child from now on. If anyone touches him, he will have trouble with me, Xu Borong."

What he said was plain, but enough for everyone present to hear.

Liu Hongzhi looked at the two dissatisfied, and then got on his horse and followed Xu Borong.

Along the way, the more persistent he felt, the more he felt like sitting on pins and needles, after all he couldn't afford to be Xu Borong's child, and besides, he had a lot of doubts in his heart.

He was very surprised by Xu Borong's actions, for such a brat like himself, he blatantly swept the prince's young master's face, this is not something Xu Borong would do.

Buy people's hearts?

Because of the grace of saving his life, even if Yue Zhi betrayed him, he still wanted to save Yue Zhi's "son"?

This is an answer, but Yue Zhi still finds it strange.

And most importantly, why did Xu Borong, who fled, know about his death in Yuyuan?

He looked around and recognized from his memory that this was the outskirts of the Eastern Capital. Starting from the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, it would take a whole day to walk to the nearest south gate to get here, and the south gate was completely burned down by him. .

Could it be that they had already escaped?

No, if you want to escape early, unless you get the news ten days earlier, if so, Xu Borong will have time to resist.

Or there is a secret passage in the palace that no one else knows about.

After thinking about it for a while, Yue Zhi still thought that the idea of ​​the Secret Way was the most reliable, and the pressure in his heart was released immediately, whether it was a mistake or something else, in the end he killed Xu Borong who was harmless.

If he didn't die, Xu Borong would be able to make a comeback, but there are conditions for making a comeback.

"Prince, there is one thing Chengye can't figure out."

"What's the matter?"

"Yuezhi rebelled against the prince, he deserves death, but why did the prince adopt him and inherit the business, and that gentleman, although you were born and died, why did you sweep his face because of me?"

"It turns out that you are restless because you are thinking about these issues. You are indeed a stubborn child, but you are like him." Xu Borong smiled lightly, and then said: "Chengye, you must remember that you should not look at the surface in everything."

"What do you mean?"

"You will know in the future."

Although Yue Zhi was sitting on the horse, but the reins were held in Xu Borong's hands, he was tired after sitting for a long time, and too many things happened today, he leaned back in Xu Borong's arms, and fell asleep after a while.

Seeing it, Liu Hongzhi shook his head unconsciously.

There was a dilapidated temple outside the eastern capital city, and the group was going to rest here. Liu Hongzhi led people to patrol outside. The more trapped they were, the bumpy road did not show any signs of waking up.

Xu Borong sat down with him in his arms, and ordered someone to light a fire. By the light of the fire, he carefully looked at Yue Zhi's face. After a while, he sighed softly, took out a note from his sleeve and unfolded it. On the note was written "Yue Zhi Persistence is dead."

Xu Borong threw the note into the fire, but in an instant, the note turned into ashes.

Yue Zhi just squinted his eyes, although he couldn't see clearly, he still understood the general idea.

Sure enough, there were Xu Borong's spies in the palace.
