Zhu... Zhu... Zhu... Zhu Ran? !

I stared at him blankly for three seconds, and then there was only one thought in my mind: it's over...

Although the last time I met him, I flattered him in every way so that he seemed to have a good impression of me, but now I am on the opposite side. I am the son of the little emperor. If he catches me, he will use me as a hostage or something to lure the little emperor to show up. .

There was no way to run away, and if he wanted to avoid hurting the little emperor, there was only one way left: to kill himself with the short sword he had just stolen.

It's a pity... I'm just a coward... I'm not so righteous and not so infatuated...

So I hurriedly plopped down on my knees, "See you, see His Royal Highness!"

He was silent for a while.At this time, someone also discovered that His Highness the Prince had arrived in person, and exclaimed.The original uproar quickly dissipated, everyone knelt down in a panic, and the chaotic sound of saluting rippled away, and the whole scene was instantly silent.

I stared at the gravel ground in front of me, my heart beating like a drum.The silver boots stood motionless in front of me, and I seemed to feel his eyes on me.

After a while, I finally heard a familiar voice, not loud, but condensed like ice and snow, "Who was causing trouble just now?"

There was still silence, and no one dared to answer.

At this moment, a person beside him yelled sharply, "No reply yet!"

The sound was so loud that it made me tremble all over.

Finally, I heard someone reply tremblingly, "Back... back to Your Highness... yes... it's me and the three of you..."

"Why?"

"...Because...because of a...a prisoner of the Yan Kingdom..."

"A prisoner of Yan Kingdom?"

I raised my head quietly, only to find that he was looking down at me in horror. There was no emotion in his dark eyes, which made my heart chill, "Is that him?"

"Exactly..."

I felt the hairs on my body stand up one after another. If my hair was as short as before, it would probably stand up too... These three bastards, it was obviously the three of you who found fault first, why are you doing it now? As if I was the culprit? !

But I didn't dare to say anything, I could only keep chanting Amitabha, he must never recognize me.But if he didn't recognize me, wouldn't my chances of dying be greater?

Mom... what should I do...

His gaze seemed to be fixed on me, and he didn't seem to turn anywhere else for a long time.Just when I was so anxious that I couldn't bear it any longer, he said, "Come here, give each of them thirty lashes, and tie the three of them to a stake and expose them to the sun for a day as punishment."

The three cried and begged for mercy, but they were still dragged away by the soldiers behind Zhu Ran.Hearing them cry so miserably, it seems that the thirty lashes are quite scary...

Then what will happen to me?But just beat me to death, right?I thought of the mutilated corpses I saw on the side of the road, the rotten and smelly appearance, and immediately threw all considerations except survival out of the sky.Nowadays, nothing is more important than saving one's life, and one doesn't care whether Zhu Ran will use me as a bait or not.

"As for this prisoner..."

Before he finished speaking, I raised my head in a hurry, looked at him bitterly, and said quickly, "Prince Zhu Ran, do you still remember me? When you were envoys to Qi State, I was lucky enough to meet the prince several times in the palace. , I even gave you a portrait, did you forget?"

He stared at me quietly, his deep eyes were black as if they could swallow people up.He said lightly, "Your name is Yang Juntian, and you are a talented person of Emperor Yan."

"That's right, it's me, it's me!" I hurriedly took two steps forward, and grabbed the hem of his armor robe humbly, "Please forgive me this time for the prince's sake of seeing the painting he gave in the past. !"

He seemed indifferent, but he said, "Get up."

I looked up at him, but I didn't know what he was planning.Loosening the hem of his clothes, I stood up slowly, full of apprehension.I lowered my head, not daring to look directly at his face, his formidable aura had already hit me head-on, even though I was standing, I felt like I was still being looked down upon.

He suddenly took a step forward, raised my chin with his hand, forced me to meet his gaze, and asked in a toneless voice, "Why are you here?"

I stammered and replied, "I... I'm here to find someone..."

"Looking for someone?" He seemed to sneer, "Looking for your Majesty?"

"……Yes……"

"You are really courageous." He let go of me, took half a step back, then turned around, as if planning to leave, "Take him and go back to the palace with me."

"Yes!"

Immediately I was picked up by two tall men and thrown onto a dark horse.My stomach just hit the saddle, and it made me nauseous.Before I could react, a man who looked like an officer got on his horse behind him, shouted loudly, and the black horse immediately ran away.I was so dizzy, but fortunately I haven't eaten all day, otherwise I would definitely vomit all the way.

After passing through several streets and alleys, the Beichuan Palace in the center of the town is in front of you.The eight vermilion pillars in front of the gate of the mansion are extraordinary, and the emperor bestowed a gold plaque with four big characters on the mansion of the Duke of Zhen.There is a huge stone lion squatting on the left and right sides.The courtyard wall is meandering, and the buildings behind it are connected with painting pavilions, and a layer of purple mist is shrouded on the glazed tile roof, which has the royal atmosphere of a solemn palace and purple garden.

It's just that the front of this gorgeous house is full of soldiers, groups of Qi soldiers come and go, or carry things or walk together, all walking in a hurry.Zhu Ran got off the horse in front of me, flung the whip to the attendants in a cool and handsome manner, and went straight in through the main entrance.The generals behind him also followed him, and I was also pulled off my horse, pushed and shoved up the steps, and walked in through the splendid main entrance.I have seen this house before when I first came to this world, and I am very familiar with every plant and tree, but after this war, the exotic flowers and plants in those flower gardens have been almost destroyed, and the rare birds and animals have long since disappeared. They fled in all directions, leaving only the carved beams and painted buildings that could not escape, and they could vaguely recognize their previous appearance.

Zhu Ran went straight to the main house, but before entering the door, he paused, looked back at me, and ordered, "Lock him to the south courtyard."

"Yes."

Pushed into a room, the door slammed shut behind him, followed by the sound of the lock being locked.I got up from the ground, brushed the dust off my clothes, and looked around.

It's a pretty spacious room.It is divided into main room, study room, outer room and inner room.The furniture and furnishings are all available, including emerald and blue-colored curtains, and a tall Babu bed.

It seems that the treatment of me as a prisoner is not bad for the time being... I just don't know how Zhu Ran plans to deal with me.

He was fidgeting all afternoon, pacing up and down the room, but Zhu Ran was nowhere to be seen.In the evening, the door lock was opened, and a servant placed food in the threshold, and the door was closed again.As soon as I smelled the aroma of the food, I immediately put it on the table and devoured it.I haven't eaten a full meal in the past few days, and I don't care about whether there is poison. Besides, if Zhu Ran wants to harm me, there is no need to do such a troublesome thing of poisoning, just chop it up.

He stuffed food into his mouth with big mouthfuls, but his heart felt sour.Those who have been starved and tired for the past few days are often beaten and scolded. Today, they were almost humiliated and humiliated. I don’t know if they will be able to return to Lujing alive in the future.What am I doing this for...

I'm not an alluring beauty like Mr. Hui, nor Ouyang Qi's beauty, nor Xiang Li's innocence.But I am really working hard, trying to survive in the harem, trying to let him see me, I have worked so hard, has he seen it?

I only hope that the little emperor can understand my feelings for him after seeing how hard I have worked so hard, and don’t let me guess his feelings in the future... There are so many colorful rings in the harem, it would be nice to see me alone...

With my stomach full, I began to think about how to get out of here.In order not to arouse suspicion on weekdays, I didn't bring Duan Xihe's piccolo with me, and now I really regret it.Speaking of which, he has disappeared for so many days, and he doesn't know what happened.

At this time, the door lock suddenly rang, and I stood up abruptly, and took out the dagger I had stolen during the day from my boots.

The door opened, and the people outside were bathed in the moonlight, covered in silver frost in a trance.

I stared at him closely and took half a step back.

Zhu Ran stepped into the door, waved his hand, and the door closed behind him.I noticed that he had changed into white plain clothes, and his handsome face was covered with ice and snow, making him look far away.

"Yang Cairen." He was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke out, which surprised me.

"prince……"

"It's been a year, how are you doing now?"

"I'm fine... Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern..."

He walked forward, and I reflexively took a step back.He paused slightly, looked at the long sleeve of my right hand where the dagger was hidden, "Don't be afraid, this king will not hurt you." After finishing speaking, he sat down at the dinner table, as if he couldn't see the person who was swept away by me. Like a desktop.

I also carefully sat across from him.Tonight, we must cooperate with him and figure out his intentions.

"Yang Cairen, no, I should call you Mr. Xian, right?"

I was a little surprised, "So the prince even knows this?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. I'm afraid I know more about your Yan country than your majesty." He said this, but his tone was as flat as he said, but the more his expression and tone, the more people felt that he couldn't say enough. It's just a fact.I became more and more nervous. Since he knew my identity, he would definitely use this to make a big fuss.This time I ran out secretly. If he used me to threaten the little emperor or something, I would be a sinner through the ages.Not to mention whether he can go back alive, even if he really escapes, he still cannot escape being punished or even deposed...

Thinking of this, I lowered my head halfway, and sighed softly, "Hehe, Your Highness, you only know one thing and don't know the other. I'm a worthy son, but I don't want to be as beautiful as you imagined."

He tilted his head slightly, "Why?"

I felt distressed, "Oh... don't mention it..."

He didn't seem to be curious at all, and didn't continue to ask. He looked down at the messy tabletop.

I swear, this is the first time I've seen him smile...

It's a pity that there are no cameras in this world... Otherwise, how much money can you make by taking pictures of his smiling face and selling them to all the nympho girls...

"How long have you been in this city? I'm afraid you have suffered a lot?" He raised his head again, and there was a look of pity in his eyes, "See how hungry you are."

His expression somehow made the sour feeling in my heart even more obvious.

I pulled the corner of my mouth, "Hehe, it's nothing..."

"Although this king ordered them not to embarrass the townspeople, this king also knows that it is not so easy for people on the battlefield to contain their murderous intent." He looked away lightly, "This war has dragged on for too long, everyone All crazy."

"Prince, do you actually hate Yan people?" I asked him suddenly.

He was slightly startled.

I continued, "If you really want to control your subordinates, none of the sensational things I've seen will happen. Although you gave the order, you are actually pampering them."

I've tried to keep my words as tactful as possible, but in this situation, such words are still too sharp.But I still can't pretend that I don't know anything in the face of him, the source of the killing. After all, I have seen too many horrific scenes these days.

He stared at me quietly, making me a little hairy, "Are you blaming me?"

"I believe that although you are brave and good at fighting, Prince, you are also a wise king with a lot of knowledge. If you use killing and conquest like this, even if you conquer the land of Yan Kingdom, you will not be able to conquer the people of Yan Kingdom."

"Oh? Is that so?" He sneered, with sarcasm in his smile, "But looking at the current situation in Beichuan City, how come no one stood up to resist me?"

When he asked this, it really blocked me...

"The people of Yan Kingdom have been at ease for too long. They are like sheep that have been fattened by grass on the grassland. They have no such thing as backbone." A few clusters of cold light shot out from his eyes, like a wolf-like light, "For them, It is enough to conquer by force."

Even though there might be some truth to what he said, I couldn't accept it.I looked at him in disbelief. Didn't I say that he has read poetry and books?How can you be so cruel? !

"You have a large number of people, and the people left in the city are unarmed people. Who dares to stand up and resist you?! Besides, whether the city people resist or not is their business, but it is your problem that you kill innocent people indiscriminately! "

After waiting for a while, he said blankly, "You really are very courageous."

But these words poured on my head like cold water, and I suddenly realized that I am a prisoner now... Why are you still here to teach the people who control my life...

I'm so crazy...

He stood up and looked down at me condescendingly, "It seems that you have not been completely polluted by Yan Guo's extravagance and cowardice. From this point of view, this king has decided not to kill you."

I stared blankly at him...

So... he really planned to kill me...

I'm... Is it a crooked shot...

Immediately after he turned and left, the door slammed shut, and the sound of locking was heard.Only then did I realize that I was breaking out in a cold sweat. I wanted to stand up, but my knees were weak.

Mom...it turns out that I had a narrow escape just now...this is too dangerous...

I leaned on the wall and walked to the bed, and went on doing it.It's been a long time since I felt the softness of the satin mattress. I lay on my back on the bed as if paralyzed, let out a long breath, and reached out to touch the jade pendant hanging on my chest.

What happens next I have no clue.I have to find a way to inform Duan Xihe, only he can take me out.

I don't know how the little emperor will react if he finds out that I was caught by Zhu Ran.You must be in a hurry, right?No matter how uncertain he is, since he has even handed over the birth jade pendant to me, I can trust his feelings for me.But what about the future?If Zhu Ran threatened him with my life to show up, would he really show up?

Probably not... His ambition has never been in the relationship between his children, no matter how much he likes me, he will not joke with Jiangshan with his life for me.

Although I understand it very well, it is still not very comfortable.

I reckon that Zhu Ran will definitely use me as a bargaining chip, but he should also understand that I am a mere young master without any background, and I am actually an abandoned son who may be thrown away by Yan Guo at any time.He can't really put Bao on me.So the most likely situation is that he will use me to make some less excessive deals with Yan Guo.As far as Yan Guo is concerned, it is a great shame and humiliation for one of the four princes of his country to be captured by the enemy country. If he is killed again, it will further damage morale. If Zhu Ran's request does not pose too much threat to the interests of Yan Guo, Maybe they will agree to negotiate with them.

If the negotiation fails, Zhu Ran will kill me, but if the negotiation succeeds, he will still be punished when he returns to Yan Country.So I must escape before then...

I must find a way to get the piccolo that Duan Xihe left for me.
