A cold autumn rain.

The dark clouds in the sky will not disperse, blocking the morning light completely.Inside the vermilion palace walls, a gust of cool wind blew through, carrying the moisture after the rain, the maids and eunuchs on duty at the gate couldn't help shivering.

Today is the customary rest day, and there is no need to go to court, but everyone knows that Emperor Yuan has been diligent in government affairs since he ascended the throne. Now even though he is older, he still gets up early to deal with government affairs on the rest day.

Standing tall and guarded in the imperial study room, Xie Zeyuan sat on a golden lacquered and carved dragon chair, with an open memorial on the desk in front of him.He is no longer young, and he has grown a long beard, but he is majestic, and he does not look like an old man at all.

At this moment, he was holding the vermilion pen, and while marking, he asked the personal eunuch next to him, "How long has Xiao Qi been sneaking out?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, it has been about sixteen days. According to the news from Anwu, they arrived in Jiutan City three days ago, and the young prince seems to be planning to stay for a few days." The eunuch replied.

Xie Zeyuan put down the vermilion pen, "Jiutan City? He actually went there? The speed is fast."

The eldest lady couldn't hear the joy and anger in his tone, but several years of service experience let him know that His Majesty is not in a bad mood now, so she continued with a smile: "With His Majesty's support, the little prince will naturally go well."

Xie Zeyuan glanced at him, "You know again?"

The great eunuch trembled with his hands in his sleeves, bowed his body and replied cautiously: "What I mean is that your majesty has always favored the little prince, so after this, the little prince has been contaminated with your majesty's dragon spirit, protected by the dragon spirit." Body, the little prince will do things smoothly!"

"I'm just saying it casually, why should De'an be so terrified?" Xie Zeyuan closed the memorial with dry handwriting and put it aside, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Because last time you said this, I lay in bed for ten days!

But De'an didn't dare to say this, otherwise he might not have been lying down for ten days this time, but lying on the ground.

He could only choose to smile humblely.

Fortunately, Xie Zeyuan didn't delve into the previous topic, but he asked again: "How many years have you been with me?"

De'an raised his voice again in one breath, "Return to Your Majesty, it's been seven years since sixteen days."

Xie Zeyuan nodded thoughtfully, "You remember clearly."

Because no one can remember.

Dean smiled bitterly to himself.

His Majesty doesn't like to count the years, he doesn't even want to celebrate his birthday, but he asks those close to him to remember the time of his attendant. of.

[I thought this little guy was Xie Zeyuan's son, but I didn't expect it to be his grandson! 】

In a semi-large courtyard in Jiutan City, the system that overheard the conversation between An Wu and Xie Yizheng returned to the space and complained, but he only heard An Wu calling Xie Yizheng's son, and he didn't know which one it was.

Pei Jue originally took advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the morning, so he released the system to let the wind go, but he didn't expect to have unexpected gains.

Although Pei Jue was a little surprised by the system's speech, he accepted it well, "When we left, his eldest son was five years old, and nearly 40 years have passed, and according to the marriage and childbearing standards of this era, it is indeed almost the same. "

[Speaking of which, Xiaodoubao back then is already an old man, right?Does he have a son too?I still have pictures of him crying when he was a child!It's a pity I can't show it to him...]

Hearing what the system said, Pei Jue also became a little interested. When he was with Xie Zeyuan back then, Xie Wenzhao, Xie Zeyuan's eldest son, liked to spin around his feet the most. His chubby little face was always smiling. Heart softened into a ball.

But as we all know, time is like a butcher's knife, so it's hard for Pei Jue to come to a conclusion about what Xie Wenzhao will look like.

"In the future, I can find a chance to visit the imperial capital!"

In the wing room not far away, Xie Yizheng saw Anwu looking out the window, and followed his gaze suspiciously. There were only unknown wild flowers swaying in the breeze, "What's the matter? Is there someone?"

An Wu looked at the sky, and then carefully observed the surrounding environment, "It seems that there is a gaze just now." But when he looked over, there was nothing. If it was a person, it should not disappear so quickly without leaving a trace .

"Maybe it's a wild cat." Xie Yizheng said.

An Wu didn't think so, ordinary cats would definitely not make him feel thorny, but he couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so he had to give up.

On the roof, a white figure stood quietly.

In Yongzhao City, there is still that luxuriously decorated room.

"Is this shadow thirteen reliable?" The man in brocade clothes looked at the flying pigeon and squeezed the letter paper tightly, always feeling uneasy.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry." The white-faced eunuch laughed in a shrill voice, "The Shadow Gate was created by that 'envoy' when His Majesty was still conquering the world. The dark guards are in charge, so His Majesty is invincible. Unfortunately, after the 'messenger' returns, the token is also lost. Without the leader, the Shadow Gate can hide from the world, but it has not really disappeared, and the inheritance has not been interrupted. Shadow Thirteen is The best of this generation."

When it comes to the "messenger", the man in brocade clothes seems to have finally let go of his heart, but then he looked at the eunuch suspiciously, "Since they hide from the world, how did you contact them?"

"It all started 40 years ago. Although people from the Shadow Gate were skilled in martial arts, there were always accidents. I saved a seriously injured man from the Shadow Gate. He left me a token before he left. Allow me one condition, if necessary, I can use the token to find Shadow Gate, 40 years have passed, and Shadow Gate has disappeared for so long, I also wanted to give it a try, but it turned out that I actually got in touch!"

The eunuch saw that the man in brocade clothes was still suspicious, and his expression suddenly turned bitter, "His Royal Highness has saved Bai Shu's life. How can Bai Shu be ungrateful? If His Highness still doesn't believe it..."

The man in brocade clothes stopped his words, "I don't deliberately doubt you, but this Shadow Gate is not an ordinary organization, so I have doubts."

Hearing this, the eunuch turned from grief to joy, "Your Highness is kind-hearted, this kind of thing is indeed quite bizarre, if I hadn't experienced it personally, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it, but it's a pity that the token can only be used once, and I can't attract it for Your Highness."

The man in brocade also sighed regretfully, "With this help, why should I worry about Xie Yizheng!"

Speaking of Xie Yizheng, he snorted again: "This time, I'm overqualified, and you are too. If you have such a good thing, remember to ask this prince before you use it next time!"

Between the words, he has already taken the things of Baishu as his own.

Bai Shu only nodded and smiled.

In Jiutan City, An Wu, who found no one, closed the window and continued to discuss with Xie Yizheng.

"His Royal Highness, are you not planning to go to Kunlun?" Xie Wu was puzzled by Xie Yizheng's choice to stay in Jiutan.

This time, Xie Yizheng secretly ran out from the imperial city, in order to go to the legendary Kunlun Snow Peak, and pay homage to the Dragon Ancestor Temple, but he just reached the foot of the mountain, and stopped because of a man.

In vain he and Congzhi had discussed countless times how to prevent His Royal Highness from going up the mountain.

"No more, no more." Xie Yizheng said without hesitation, there was no need to go up anymore.

Dark Five only thought that he had passed the heat, and it would be better not to go, so he stopped persuading, "Do you want your subordinates to pack up and go back to Yongzhao?"

"No hurry." Xie Yizheng finally ran out, so he was naturally unwilling to go back so soon. Although he wanted to seek revenge from Xie Huaixuan, this matter needs a long-term plan. a good idea.

"You go down first, call Cong Zhi, I need to find him."

An Wu took the order, and called Cong Zhi over after a while.

After seeing An Wu close the door and leave, Xie Yizheng took out a letter from the bedside, "You pass this to Xue Suifeng as soon as possible."

"Master Xue Jiasun?" Cong Zhi couldn't figure it out, "Your Highness, haven't you always looked at him and hated him?"

"Go as soon as you are told, don't talk nonsense!" Xie Yizheng put the letter in his hand without much explanation, "Remember, don't let others see it!"

Seeing the serious look on his Highness's face, he couldn't help but become more serious, put the letter close to his body, and walked out of the room.

After sending the letter to the post station on the pretext of going out to buy snacks for the prince, he walked out of the room with his life and looked at the sun that was already high, but he still couldn't solve the doubts in his heart.

An Wu who was passing by looked at Cong Zhi who was standing in the sun without any hesitation, walked over and asked, "What do you see the sun doing?"

"I'm looking to see if the sun rises in the west today." Cong Zhi muttered, "Is it still in the east?!"

Dark Five: ... What stimulated you?

In the wing room, after chatting with the system, Pei Jue went out of the room, and saw Congzhi and Anwu from a distance.

Because of the "unknown origin", he has been very wary of him since then, so Pei Jue hesitated for a while, and decided to go another way.

Bypassing the two of them, Pei Jue went straight out of the yard. Recently, he had nothing to do. He liked to drink tea and listen to books at the teahouse not far away.

"Why do I feel that someone is following me?" Because of his outstanding appearance, Pei Jue always put on a felt hat when he went out after several outings that attracted much attention. This was the first time in the past few days that he felt Such a strong gaze.

The system quickly scans the surrounding environment.

[Pei Pei, there are indeed people! 】

Because the felt hat blocked his vision, Pei Jue pretended not to notice, but started to walk towards a remote alley.

I don't know if the visitor is an enemy or a friend. If it is an enemy, the disturbance may cause unnecessary casualties. After all, some people don't take the lives of ordinary people seriously.

Heroes are forbidden by martial arts.

The people behind him also seemed to have noticed his intentions, but they didn't do anything directly, but continued to follow him silently until Pei Jue stopped in a dead-end alley.

"Your Excellency has followed all the way, what is the purpose?"

When the cold wind picked up, a white figure appeared in front of Pei Jue.

Seeing that the man in front of him was dressed almost exactly like himself, Pei Jue was slightly taken aback.

【Pei Pei, this is...】
