Shen Gong Ji

This... This is the birth jade pendant of the little emperor!

I stared blankly, unable to react for a while.

Shouldn't the emperor's birth jade pendant be handed over to the empress a long time ago?

I looked up at him, but he restrained his smile, and there was a trace of tranquility in his eyes.He looked at me and said, "Juntian, I don't want to lie to you. If I go back to Zhen this time, I may not be able to come back unscathed. So I want to give you this jade pendant tonight."

There was a strong ominousness in his words, which made my heart skip a beat.I hurriedly interrupted him, "Hey, don't say such unlucky things, okay?"

He was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed, "Now you are the only one who dares to talk to me like that."

"Isn't this the privilege your Majesty bestowed on me?" I deliberately said it lightly, trying to ease the gradually suppressed atmosphere.I held up his jade pendant, carefully looked at it again and again by the candlelight, "Well~ it looks good, and it should be able to sell for a good price. Well, let me save this jade for you first, you go out and hurry up Come back quickly after finishing your work, or I will sell your jade pendant for wine."

As a result, he rushed over all of a sudden, pinned me down on the mat, and pretended to be grinning, "Oh, you dared to sell my birth jade pendant. I will definitely punish you tonight!" Untie my belt.While he wasn't paying attention, I grabbed him on the spot and turned over, then changed places with him.This time it was my turn to suppress him and grin, "Hmph, I don't know who is going to punish whom. How about letting me love His Majesty tonight~"

Although it was lip service, I didn't really dare to expect so much.After all, he is a ninety-five-year-old, how could he be suppressed by me, a young master?

But I didn't expect that he just looked at me with a smile like that, and instead of struggling, he spread his hands and feet.

I panicked all of a sudden, what happened to this kid?Why is this tender look in my eyes making me panic for a while...

I looked at him tentatively, "You... have no objection?"

There is a layer of watery light in his eyes as black as midnight, which seems to be swaying with faint ripples, reflecting my stupid face, and the corners of the slightly raised eyes seem to have fallen cherry petals. The dense light reflected his cheeks red, the color of peach blossoms, and the perfectly shaped collarbone in the slightly open neckline. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me, I couldn't help swallowing.

He raised his hand and lightly touched my brow, "Your wish will be fulfilled tonight, how about it?"

I opened my mouth and looked at him for a while, until he couldn't help laughing, then I came back to my senses and slapped him, "I knew you were lying."

"No, it's just that your silly look just now was so cute." But he grabbed my skirt to prevent me from getting up, "Hey, I have a good word, of course I won't lie to you."

I blushed instantly and my heart beat. Under the gaze of those eyes, I didn't even know where to put my hands and feet.I stammered and asked, "You...you...you...are you sure?"

"determine."

"It might hurt a little."

"It's okay, I'm not as weak as you think."

"You won't be angry and cut me off afterwards, will you?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, even with a provocative and teasing expression, "You worry so much, don't you know what to do?"

Depend on!How can Lao Tzu's man's dignity be so profane.I couldn't care about that much anymore, so I immediately tore off his clothes and got on the horse...

Speaking of which, this is really my first time on it...

Although that night was indeed clumsy, under his guidance, I experienced the ultimate happiness.That kind of happiness is slightly different from what I used to feel when I was below. It is a kind of pleasure of possessing and plundering. It is like a raging fire that burns away every bit of reason.

It turns out that the feeling of plundering is so enjoyable, isn't this the feeling of being a real man?

It seemed that it still hurt him a little. The next day, when I saw his slightly tired sleeping face next to the pillow, I felt guilty for a while, but I also felt an unprecedented sense of love and happiness.It was as if I finally owned him completely, that as I belonged to him, he belonged to me completely.

The brisk morning light fell on his forehead, as if it belonged to the halo of a fairy.He curled up quietly beside me, like a sleeping fox.I looked at him with my head on my side, and gently brushed the hair on his forehead with my hands.

I will definitely protect him, no matter what the cost.

It has been a month since the little emperor and Du Leng took the army to go to northern Xinjiang to conquer.On the day he left, I couldn't go out of the city to see him off, so I could only sit by the window alone, looking at the sky that was gradually stained with autumn.

Zihuan Garden is obviously still as peaceful as ever, but the scenery that falls in my eyes is completely different.One year ago, this place was an unfathomable sea, and one had to be cautious in every step, otherwise, one would be swallowed by an undercurrent coming from nowhere.And now this is a shallow lake where I can swim freely, I have climbed to the heights of power, and the threat has been completely eliminated after the palace change.For me, this place is no longer such a mysterious place.

It's just that this hard-won victory and tranquility were shaken by the thunderous sound of war drums.Qi Guo and Xia Guo's coalition forces were like a broken bamboo, and they captured several cities in a row.The Yan Kingdom has just experienced a serious coup, and the Ouyang Party in the court has been purged. Although the general is still fighting on the battlefield, his mind has been confused, and he has made several strategic mistakes.Moreover, the Yan State had been paralyzed for so long under the illusion of praying for peace, and the army was negligent in training, causing Yan's army to retreat steadily.At the same time, Yuan Guo saw that Yan Guo was in danger, and he was also a little ready to move.If Qi Yuanxia and the Three Kingdoms allied to attack the Yan Kingdom, I'm afraid something bad will happen.

But what worries me the most is the little emperor who has already arrived in northern Xinjiang.

He deprived Zhu Lan of his commander-in-chief in the name of command failure, and handed it to Du Leng.Du Leng really lived up to his trust, and immediately won two battles in a row, regaining Yinluan City and Zhenshan City.The light cavalry trained by Du Leng performed well in this battle. They shuttled back and forth between different strongholds of the enemy army like ghosts and ran day and night. They attacked at night and disappeared the next day. Several armies of Dexia Kingdom and Qi Kingdom broke up and fled.

I heard that the little emperor has been living in the mansion of King Beichuan, where he personally supervised the battle.It is very close to the front line, and the risk is great.But I can only look at the quiet and beautiful pavilions outside the window every day here, and do some insignificant things...

I hope I can help him, at least keep an eye on him so that no accidents happen to him...

But if I go now, it will be a burden to him, right?Why am I so useless?If I also know martial arts like Duan Xihe...

Besides me, Du Ruo is also worried about his brother Du Leng every day.Every time a battle report came from the front line, he would fidget and fidget. He didn't like to eat very much before, but now he hardly eats a grain of rice.

Beichuan Palace was raided overnight by a night cavalry soldier from Qiguo, and the news that the little emperor disappeared came early in the morning.I had just woken up at that time, and Du Ruo was tying my hair, when I suddenly saw Uncle Jin running in staggeringly, with a terrified expression on his face, "It's not good!"

My heart tightened suddenly, and I looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"The Qi Nation's army raided the Beichuan Prince's Mansion. His Majesty was separated from the Beichuan King when he was escorted to retreat. Now his whereabouts are unknown, and there is no news at all!"

With a bang, it was the sound of the comb in Du Ruo's hand falling to the ground and breaking into two halves.

I stared at him in a daze, walked over in three steps at a time, grabbed his shoulder firmly, "What did you say?!"

Uncle Jin looked at me in pain, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is missing!"

I looked at the shape of his mouth, but my mind was blank.

disappeared?disappeared? !disappeared? ! !

how so? !Aren't there many people protecting him? !How could his majesty Yan Guo disappear so easily? ! !

Many voices in my head were noisy and noisy, and it even became a little dizzy for a while.

Uncle Jin continued, "The king of Beichuan is temporarily retreating to Yingzhou and is actively looking for His Majesty. I believe he will find it soon. Don't worry too much, son..."

I'm afraid that even he himself is not sure about what he said?I was so upset and my headache was about to split, so I waved my sleeves and told everyone, "You all step back and let me be quiet."

"Yes."

All the people filed out, only the sound of the waterfall was heard in the bedroom, and the fluttering green gauze curtain was lifted.I stared blankly at my blurred figure in the bronze mirror, and felt that the whole person was like that blurred image, illusory and floating, like a cloud that was fading and sinking.

What are the chances of surviving if you go missing in a war? ?

I thought of the face of the little emperor sleeping next to me in the morning light, his little fox-like demeanor, and the way he nestled peacefully in my arms. I felt it was difficult to breathe, and his hands and feet were cold.

Five days have passed, and there is still no news of the little emperor.Although King Beichuan is still trying his best to find it, their attention has been quietly shifting.Qiguo's surprise attack team captured Beichuan overnight, and Yanguo was already in danger. The first task now was naturally to resist another wave of offensives from Qiguo and Xiaguo.After all, the emperor can be re-established if he is gone, and the previous emperor did not have only one child, but if the country dies, there will really be nothing left.

Intellectually speaking, this is a very correct choice, but to me, Yan Guo is just a symbol and has no meaning.All I care about is the little emperor's safety.

I know I can't wait any longer.

I sat alone on the painting boat, leaning on the railing and looking at the red carp flicking its red tail in the clear water.The lotus leaves are gradually withering, and a few wild geese wander silently among the remaining leaves, setting off the somewhat desolate autumn scenery.

The water-green jade pendant in my hand was already warm from the cover, I pursed my lips, and my nails sank into the palm of my hand.

"Xiao Yang." The familiar voice quietly appeared behind me, and I knew who it was without turning around.

"hello."

"You are also good." He said, walked to sit next to me, poured himself a glass of wine, put it up to his nose and sniffed it, "Mmm~~This wine smells so good~~Is it sweet-scented osmanthus wine?"

"Yes, your favorite."

"Why do you think of buying me a drink today?"

I turned around and looked at him.He still had that simple sunny look, as if he was born to be bathed in the sun.

"You said before that you can take me out of the palace, does that still count?"

After hearing my question, he didn't seem particularly surprised. He didn't even move his eyebrows. He just asked, "How are you going to get out? Are you planning to come back after you go out?"

"I'm going to northern Xinjiang."

"Ah~ I understand." He looked like "I knew it", and then he shook his head pretendingly, "You are really a seed of infatuation. If you go, you may even lose your life, you know? ?”

Life... Of course I have thought of this.Of course I don't want to die, isn't it too unworthy to die in this strange world.

But when I thought that the little emperor might die in some unknown small ditch like this, I couldn't think rationally at all.Now I have only one thought, that is to find him.

As for the rest, I don't care.

"I'll be careful. You just need to send me to northern Xinjiang. If you pay me, I can afford as much as you want."

He held his chin and thought for a while, nodding his fingers on the table, then suddenly nodded, "Okay, as our regular customer, how about this, this time I can escort you for free."

This surprised me a bit, isn't Piao Miao Palace never doing business at a loss?

"Don't thank me too much. I'm not helping you as a member of Misty Palace this time, but as your friend." He waved his finger at me, "And, buy favors for those who are now in the harem. Mr. Xian, it’s not a bad thing, is it?”

Seeing the way he bent his eyes at me, I felt a warm feeling in my heart.Although he is an assassin, I dare to speak directly only when facing him, so I don't have to worry about what schemes he has in his stomach.

Maybe all people in the rivers and lakes are like this?A simple life, if you are a friend, you will stick a knife in your ribs, if you are an enemy, you will draw your sword to each other, and you will come and go freely in the rivers and lakes, which is really enviable.

"Then when shall we leave?"

"It's fine tonight."

"tonight?!"

"Yeah, what? Do you need more time to prepare?"

I thought about it carefully. If I want to keep the secret of my leaving the palace, I must make some arrangements in advance, but these should be completed before tonight.

"Okay, just tonight!"

I only told Du Ruo about my decision to leave the palace, Du Ruo naturally tried her best to dissuade me, but now, even if someone puts a knife on my neck, I will definitely go.I asked Du Ruo to tell all the people who came to visit me that I had a very serious infectious disease, and only Du Ruo was allowed to serve in it alone, and Du Ruo took three meals a day and brought them into the house.After I leave the palace, I can tell Uncle Jin the secret the next day, but try not to let Qianyi know.He was outspoken, and I was afraid that he might slip up.

The concubine going out of the palace without permission will always be offended. Even though I have the status of a virtuous son, but I don't have a huge family background, I'd better be careful.

I also left Mr. Xian's peacock seal to Du Ruo, so that in case someone becomes suspicious, he can use the peacock seal to issue a decree on my behalf, so that I can last for a few more days.After carefully exhorting some matters, I started to pack my travel luggage.

While Du Ruo helped me pack some gold and silver, she continued to persuade me worriedly, "My lord, although you are from northern Xinjiang, you haven't been out of the palace much in the past two years. The outside world is very chaotic. You must Be careful...or...how about you take me with you?"

I smiled at him and comforted him, "Don't worry, someone will protect me on the road."

He pursed his lips, "But no one is serving you, is it really okay?"

"Haha, you underestimate me, your son. I have only been in the palace for two years, and I have only been in Zihuan Garden for more than a year. Before that, how could anyone serve me?" I patted him on the shoulder, "You Don't worry, I will definitely come back intact."

That being said, I'm really clueless.Up to now, I still feel that my decision is a bit illusory, like in a dream.

I'm leaving the palace like this?Since arriving in this world, I have almost always lived in the square inch world of the Palace of Majesty. What an illusory concept the outside world is, I don't have the slightest understanding of it.

Just running outside so recklessly, can I really achieve my goal?Will he die at the hands of robbers or something...

But the thought of having Duan Xihe by his side gave him a little more support.After all, so far, he can complete all the things I entrust him to do, and he is almost omnipotent.I don't know when it started, I have become very dependent on him.

In the early morning, I changed into the clothes of a palace servant and put on a long cloak with a hood to cover half of my face.Fortunately, it's almost autumn now, and the early morning wind has already brought a chill, so it won't be strange even if you dress like this.It was still early at this time, the sky was still a deep blue deep in the lake, and even the birds hadn't gotten up yet.The entire Fuyao Palace was quiet, and the palace servants guarding the palace dozed off.I carefully opened the door of the hall, walked quickly along the Hongqiao, passed one stone platform after another, and left the Fuyao Hall along the stone steps built on the cliff.The waterfall hanging on the top of the eaves is still running tirelessly, making cool splashes in the emerald green pool below. A few clumps of narcissus are still blooming by the pool, and the quiet evening fragrance is circling in the silence. .

I looked back, then hurried to the direction of the Imperial Medicine Division.After the pharmacy, he walked through the crabapple forest, and he was already waiting for me under the barren pavilion.But this morning he looked different from the past. He was dressed in dark black, his black hair was tied up high, and his tall and thin back was like a ghost in the morning mist. Although he had no killing intent, it made people feel chilling.On his back was a long thing wrapped in black silk that looked like a sword, and a piccolo was pinned to his waist.

I approached him and he turned his head and grinned at me, "Good morning."

Seeing that smiling face, I finally regained some of his usual feelings...

"Ready?" he asked me.

I pulled the package on my back and nodded.

He raised one corner of his mouth, and there was a bit more excitement in his innocent and brilliant smile at that moment, "Then let's go~"
