Nine princes get married

Zhuang Yi visited half a month later, although she sneaked out without informing the eunuch in charge, she was still told that Zhuang feared that she was still with Mr. Private School and would stay for two more days.

Zhuang Yi twitched the corners of her mouth, the old god Zhuang Jiu was there.

Qian Rong drinks tea and has nothing to do with himself.

Zhuang Yi sighed, and didn't say anything more, but said that it was not easy for him to come out, and he wanted to stay in the Nine Princes Mansion for a while to breathe.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Jiu went out to do errands.Qian Rong thought it was hot and didn't bother to go out.Zhuang Yi also refused to leave, and the couple let him go.

After staying alone in her room for a while, Zhuang Yi thought about it, then got up and went to find Qian Rong.

Here, Qian Rong just finished listening to Zhao Xiaoqiang's report on related matters, and also finished seeing the head of the branch under Yinsongbao. He was sitting in the study writing something.Zhuang Yi obediently carried the tray and knocked on the door: "Uncle Qian, are you thirsty? Xiao Shisan brought you sour plum soup."

Qian Rong looked up at him: "Thank you."

Zhuang Yi obediently put down the tray and sat on the guest chair without saying a word.

Qian Rong continued to immerse himself in business affairs for a while, before raising his head again: "It's useless for you to look for me, really."

Zhuang Yi smiled and shook her head: "No, I've figured it out, I'm not looking for you and I'm not looking for Uncle Jiu. If I can see him with my own strength, it's good. If I can't see him, I don't need to be too entangled .”

"Oh?" Qian Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Zhuang Yi smiled: "Do you still remember what I asked you when we first met?"

Qian Rong thought about it and nodded: "The words are still in my ears."

"..." Zhuang Yi was a little embarrassed, "It's true that I have those thoughts... But I really don't know how to grasp it... Forget it, he doesn't know anyway."

Qian Rong looked at him and sneered: "You think he really doesn't know?"

Zhuang Yi was startled and looked up at him.

Qian Rong shrugged: "Actually, I don't know if he knows."

"Please, Uncle Qian, don't learn from Uncle Jiu..." Zhuang Yi twitched her lips.

"Well," Qian Rong took a sip of sour plum soup, "Zhuang Horn's mind is pure, and the purer it is, the deeper it becomes."

"Then what did he think?" Zhuang Yi asked hesitantly.

"Aren't you going to ask him to ask me?" Qian Rong laughed.

Zhuang Yi became quiet, as if she was thinking.

Qian Rong sighed, he still couldn't understand his feelings... But he kindly pointed out to this kid: "He thinks that people who should be treated well will be treated well, no matter who that person is, what status they are, whether they are Treat him with sincerity."

"Of course I mean it." Zhuang Yi answered immediately, with a very serious and serious expression.

Qian Rong raised the corners of his mouth, shrugged, and stopped talking.

Zhuang Yi was stunned, and it took a while to reply, but it was already clear: "...Thank you, Uncle Qian."

Qian Rong smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing his expression, Zhuang Yi suddenly leaned over mysteriously: "Then what about Uncle Qian?"

"What about me?" Qian Rong remained calm, wondering why even a child came to ask about his love life?

"Uncle Qian and Uncle Jiu?" Zhuang Yi continued to ask, not afraid to tell the truth.

Qian Rong glanced at him coldly, and he really climbed up just because of a pole, as expected he and Zhuang Jiu are uncles and nephews...Turn around and sit behind the desk, continuing the unfinished work just now.

Zhuang Yi's thick skin is also similar to that of Zhuang Jiu, and she still doesn't give up and asks: "Uncle Qian and Uncle Jiu seem to have a good relationship, but in fact they are very subtle. Uncle Qian, what do you think?"

"Why don't you ask your ninth uncle what he thinks?" Qian Rong asked back.

"Isn't that what you should ask?" Zhuang Yi learned what he had learned and sold it now, and echoed what Qian Rong said just now.

Qian Rong was silent.

"...Oh..." Zhuang Yi came to his senses immediately, nodded in understanding, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Qian Rong twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing if this kid was uneasy himself, he would disturb other people's uneasy life...

Seeing Qian Rong looking at her coldly, Zhuang Yi smiled innocently to show how cute she is.

I knew that Zhuang Yi must have made some moves, but I didn't know that he came to find me in a hurry the next day.

Qian Rong glanced at him: "What?"

"Uncle Jiu... is in Hualou." Zhuang Yi said timidly.

"Oh?" Qian Rong raised his eyebrows, his complexion... interesting...

"... Well, Uncle Ninth is going to meet with the ambassador of Ningmo Kingdom today," Zhuang Yi said with a very regretful expression, "I decided to come and entertain the ambassador on my own initiative. Then I thought that since you, Uncle Qian, If you are so uneasy, then I will test Uncle Jiu's sincerity, so I arranged the place in Hualou..."

"Then?" Qian Rong crossed his arms and asked leisurely.

Knowing that Qian Rong is not so easy to be baited, Zhuang Yi continued to work hard: "At the beginning, Uncle Jiu was really well-behaved, chatting and laughing calmly...then...then..."

"What happened next?" Knowing that it was a fraud, it was still a few years before this kid coaxed him.

"Later, the ambassador said that maybe Uncle Jiu didn't like pink girls but blue faces, so he called a few young men... They were not pretty and flamboyant, but delicate and charming..." Zhuang Yi said more and more lightly, Seeing that Qian Rong didn't seem to believe it, he felt a little depressed, but he still bit the bullet and continued, "Then, Uncle Jiu couldn't sit still... In fact, Uncle Jiu might just not want to save the ambassador's face, and he also wanted to Said to let the ambassador see that he only loves men and completely give up the idea of ​​marrying the princess to him..."

"Oh." Qian Rong thought for a while, then got up, "Then let's go."

"Where are you going?" Zhuang Yi didn't respond.

"Catch the traitor." Qian Rong raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise, what are you going to do by catching me and making such a fuss?"

ah?Well……

Wanhua Building is resplendent and colorful.As soon as you walk in, you will be greeted by an intoxicating aroma.Even the ordinary maids are wearing uniform gauze skirts──without underwear, which is faintly visible inside, let alone the flower girls and young ladies.

Qian Rong went in, but he didn't look for Zhuang Jiu, he just found a table, sat down with Zhuang Yi, and came to ask what kind of hospitality he wanted, he just took out a silver ingot and said he would like a pot of clear tea.

Meimo is also a person who has seen the world, and seeing that this man is extraordinary, he smiled and collected the money, and ordered someone to brew a pot of Zhuyeqing for them.

Zhuang Yi also behaved honestly, kowtow sunflower seeds, and played the piano and sang with the geisha on stage whom Qian Rong admired.Wait until Zhuang Jiu comes downstairs.

"Little Qian?" Zhuang Jiu was taken aback. Although he was sitting upright, he still felt a little guilty when he was seen here.

Qian Rong curled his lips: "Is the matter over?"

Zhuang Jiu nodded obediently.

"Then let's go." Qian Rong also slapped the crumbs of melon seeds off his hands and got up.Zhuang Yi quickly followed.

"Where are you going?" Zhuang Jiu asked foolishly.

Qian Rong narrowed his eyes: "Go home, where else do you want to go, my lord?"

"Ah, of course I'm going home, thanks to Concubine Ai who came to pick me up in person..." Zhuang Jiu immediately smiled obsequiously.

There was a gasp all around—this is the legendary Ninth Princess!It's really a man!Not disguised as a man!

On the street, with a smile on his face, Zhuang Jiu seemed to be in a good mood. He pulled Qian Rong's sleeve and said, "Why don't we go for a walk?"

Zhuang Yi said very understandingly: "I will take the sedan chair back to the mansion first."

Zhuang Jiu waved his hand, and Zhuang Yi immediately jumped onto the sedan chair and took a step ahead.

Qian Rong looked at Zhuang Jiu, who also looked at him innocently, then shook his sleeves, turned around and started walking.Zhuang Jiu followed immediately.

Along the way, the moon was high and the stars were sparse, and the cool wind blew away the fragrance from the two of them. Only then did Zhuang Jiu dare to come forward and secretly took Qian Rong's sleeve.

Seeing that Qian Rong had no intention of objecting, he slowly changed to holding his hand.

Qian Rong's hands were icy cold—I remember an old lady in the palace told him that people with cold hands were so kind when they were young.Zhuang Jiu raised the corner of his mouth and clenched that hand tightly.

For a long time, there were few people on the road, only the hidden guards who followed not far or near behind.Zhuang Jiu finally cleared his throat: "Well, aren't you angry?"

Qian Rong squinted at him, but didn't answer.

"I was also dragged away by Zhuang Shisan. That kid first dragged the ambassador. When I went, the ambassador was already immersed in it, so I couldn't refuse..." Zhuang Jiu explained obediently.

Qian Rong still didn't answer him.

Zhuang Jiu pursed his lips, sighed, and stopped suddenly. Qian Rong was pulled to stop too, and turned to look at him.

"I'm very happy that you came today." Zhuang Jiu smiled softly, "It means that you don't care about me, I'm very happy."

Qian Rong lowered his eyelids.But Zhuang Jiu raised his chin and had to face those serious black eyes.Qian Rong felt that he was going to sink into it.

"Xiaoqian," Zhuang Jiu rubbed his chin lightly, and said, "I've been the one who said it all the time, and I'm the one who forcefully asked you to be by my side for the rest of my life. I don't care about your answer, but I'm actually afraid of hearing Your answer……"

Qian Rong raised his eyebrows: "Oh, do you want to hear it now?"

Zhuang Jiu pulled him closer: "You can answer, but if it doesn't suit me, I still won't listen..."

Qian Rong raised one corner of his mouth and snorted.

"Qian Rong," Zhuang Jiu looked deeply at the person in front of him, "Are you willing to accompany me and go on forever, anytime, anywhere, for the rest of your life?"

Qian Rong looked at him quietly and didn't answer, Zhuang Jiu was not restless and waited quietly.

After a long time, Qian Rong said with a sigh: "Life is so long, no one knows what will happen... But if it is possible, I promise you, I will not let go first."

And you, how dare you let me go and give it a try.

The corners of Zhuang Jiu's mouth were grinning to the base of his ears, and his hands were locked tightly in his arms: "If you want to let go, I will hold it tightly."

Qian Rong didn't know whether to laugh or feel helpless, but he clasped his hands on the man's back, not using force, but not casually.

At noon the next day, Zhuang Yi ran to Zhuang Jiu's room and knocked on the door: "Uncle Jiu? Uncle Qian? Xiao Shisan has returned to the palace first?"

No one responded, and a voice sounded from behind: "Your Highness, the prince and master are in this room."

Zhuang Yi turned her head, twitched the corners of her mouth at the two guards who accompanied her, and then came over again and knocked on the door: "Uncle Nine, Uncle Qian, Xiao Shisan has returned to the palace first."

"Oh." Zhuang Jiu's lazy voice came from inside the door, "Don't run out so diligently next time, it's useless."

Zhuang Yi pouted: "Oh..."

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Jiu's words came true, and as soon as Zhuang Yi returned to the palace, she was immediately detained and sent to Dali Temple.

In the afternoon, someone quickly came to notify Zhuang Jiu.

"It's the emperor's imperial decree. No one informed them, and they took them away." The messenger was a young father-in-law, who stood outside the door and reported one by one, "It is said that it was because of the murder of the seventeenth prince."

There was silence inside the door for a while, and then the door opened with a "bang". Zhuang Jiu muttered while putting on his belt: "Why can't this Zhuang Shisan give me peace for a day or two. What do you think happened to the seventeenth prince?"

"Someone drowned in the lotus pond in the imperial garden." The father-in-law replied.

Zhuang Jiu frowned. Seventeen would have an "accident". He had expected it, but would Thirteen be involved?

Behind him, Qian Rong had already tidied up his clothes and stepped out of the room: "When did it happen?"

"It was discovered the night before yesterday, but who did it was not found out at that time, and His Highness the Thirteenth went to His Highness the Seventeenth the night before, and yesterday morning he left the palace without even informing the eunuch in charge... "The father-in-law replied.

Zhuang Jiu and Qian Rong looked at each other, then turned to his father-in-law and said, "Go back and tell Eunuch Ma, I will go if I think of a way."

Eunuch Ma is the eunuch who has been with him since he was born thirteen, and he loves this kid very much.

"Yes." The little eunuch nodded, "The little one will go back first."

"Okay, let's go." Zhuang Jiu said.

Zhuang Jiu and Qian Rong went directly to the study.As soon as Zhuang Jiu entered the door, he began to search for it. Qian Rong didn't ask, but just sat at the desk and wrote a letter.

Zhuang Jiu rummaged for a while before finding three pieces of gold leaf from an old book.

"What is this?" Qian Rong asked while writing.

"Zhuang Yi's matter is serious this time, we must save him first." Zhuang Jiu frowned, "It's just the three gold leaves bestowed by the late emperor, no matter what it is, it can save one's life."

"You're not sure if he's innocent?" Qian Rong had already finished writing, and after payment was made, he was waiting for the letter to dry.

"...I'm not sure," Zhuang Jiu said in a deep voice, laughing at himself, "Although I try my best to avoid him in every way, I don't know when he will grow to a state that I don't even know..."

The corners of Qian Rong's mouth curled up: "I remember what was said in the Yinsong Castle discussion, the thirteenth prince is virtuous and benevolent... I don't think he would take the initiative to take action. Besides, the Seventh Prince also came to us earlier."

"I know, it's very likely that Lao Qi did it." Zhuang Jiu sighed, "I'll go to the palace to face the saint later. I'm afraid that Lao Sanyi will take the opportunity to act."

"Hmm." Qian Rong nodded, began to fold the letter paper, stuffed it into the envelope, and wrote "Received by Yinsongbao" on the envelope with "Qian".

Zhuang Jiu looked at it, stepped forward suddenly, picked up a pen and added a "nine" on the word "Qian".Qian Rong twitched the corner of his mouth to look at him, and he smiled: "We are a family."

Qian Rong was helpless, so he simply didn't bother with him, then sealed the envelope and got up: "I'll post the letter."

"What did you write?" Zhuang Jiu asked.

"When we are all in danger and cannot protect ourselves, ask them to help." Qian Rong said lightly.

But being grabbed by Zhuang Jiu all of a sudden, Qian Rong turned around and looked into the man's eyes.

Zhuang Jiu said earnestly and seriously, with a low voice: "If there is any problem after I enter the palace, you can go back to Yinsong Castle quickly, and don't be implicated."

Qian Rong's eyes were light, and the corner of his mouth curled up, and he sneered back at him: "Yes, Qian has his own sense of propriety, my lord can rest assured."

Zhuang Jiu knew that he had offended him, and sighed: "I'm worried about you..."

Qian Rong broke away from him lightly: "Get ready to prepare, if you delay a moment longer, His Highness Thirteenth will be in more danger."

Zhuang Jiu had no choice but to let go.

After Qian Rong ordered the letter to be sent out, Zhuang Jiu had packed up, put on formal clothes, and was about to enter the palace.

At the door, Zhuang Jiu saw Xiaoqian confessing to him calmly, and finally couldn't help pulling him over, and gave him a light kiss in front of everyone.

But Qian Rong didn't even refuse, and acquiesced to him.

Both of them knew that Zhuang Jiu's trip was full of dangers.

Letting Zhuang Jiu go, Qian Rong leaned against the door frame and hugged his chest.Until he saw the shadow of the sedan chair disappear around the corner.Just now he turned around and went to wait for the person from Silver Pine Fort in the imperial city who was notified when he delivered the letter just now.

The two guessed right, the third prince really pursued immediately this time, taking the opportunity to make this matter worse, and it would be best to completely eradicate Zhuang Jiu and the thirteenth prince.He immediately added fuel to the fire, and entered the palace almost at the same time as Zhuang Jiu.

Hearing what the subordinate said, Qian Rong supported his head with one hand, knocked on the table with the other without rhythm, and asked, "Where is the Seven Kings?"

"No action." The subordinate replied.

Qian Rong murmured, on the surface it was right that he didn't take any action, except that he came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to inform the Seventeenth Prince himself, the outside world didn't know that there was something tricky between the Seventh Prince and the Seventeenth Prince.

However, if it was really the Seventh King's hands and feet, why bother to involve Zhuang Jiu, isn't Shi Qi still waiting for Zhuang Jiu to arrange a place for him?

While discussing with his subordinates, another person came outside, the father-in-law who came in the morning.

"The Ninth Prince has also been detained." The father-in-law said anxiously, "The emperor is very angry this time, and he must deal with it vigorously. Although the Ninth Prince took the gold leaf to save his life, he was also sent to Dali Temple—the torture there is extremely cruel... ..."

Qian Rong frowned, listening to him.

"Eunuch Ma told me to come out and tell the concubine right away, it's a serious matter," the little eunuch continued, "The third prince was also in the palace, and he told the emperor a lot of bad things about the ninth prince, and he also said that the thirteenth prince went to the palace after the incident. Come to find Ninth Prince, there must be something hidden."

"Has the matter of the Seventeenth Prince been thoroughly investigated?" Qian Rong asked.

"No, it seems that someone is deliberately covering it up, and the seventeenth prince's mother and concubine will not allow anyone to get close to the body..." The little eunuch replied, "Eunuch Ma is worried that if this matter is delayed, the Ninth Prince and His Highness the Thirteenth Prince will suffer unreasonable disasters."

Qian Rong held his forehead, feeling a little affirmed in his heart that the Seventeenth Prince was dead or dead.But just as the little eunuch said, if the Seven Kings tried to delay the investigation, Zhuang Jiu and the others would definitely suffer in the prison.In addition to the Three Kings, they will definitely not miss this opportunity.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and said to Eunuch, "Thank you Eunuch for coming here to inform you, Qian will think of a way. Please Eunuch go back to the palace first, lest you stay too long and be talked about by others."

"Yes, thank you, Sir Qian." After the little eunuch finished speaking, he also left in a hurry.

Qian Rong was left behind, as well as several of Zhuang Jiu's followers, as well as people he trusted in Yinsong Castle.

"There's something wrong." Qian Rong said with a frown.

"Yes, I estimate that the key point is still with the Seventh Prince." A counselor said.

Qian Rong nodded and got up: "Zhao Xiaoqiang, prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to visit the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

In Dali Temple, although Zhuang Jiu was shackled on his hands and feet and had several injuries on his body, he managed to see Zhuang Yi.The boy was not much better, his face was covered with blood, and when he saw Zhuang Jiu, the tears he had been holding back couldn't stop flowing, which irritated the wound on his face and caused him pain.

Zhuang Jiu twitched at the corner of his mouth, stepped forward and patted his head: "Good boy... who told you to provoke Shi Qi if you have nothing to do?"

Zhuang Yi pursed her lips, feeling very wronged: "Obviously he came to provoke me..."

Zhuang Jiu was helpless.

The jailer at the back pushed the two of them: "What are you still talking about? Don't you think you have suffered enough?!"

At this moment, the person who knows current affairs is Junjie, Zhuang Jiu was escorted past Shisan, and when he entered his cell, he faintly remembered Shisan's cell number.

It was late at night when Qian Rong came out of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, his face was dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.Zhao Xiaoqiang followed behind, unable to fathom his unpredictable expression.

At this moment, although there is no Nine Kings in the Nine Kings Mansion for the time being, there is no leaderless chaos.With this rich master in charge, everyone felt a little at ease.

Unexpectedly, the master went back to his bedroom once he returned to his palace.

Zhao Xiaoqiang dared to ask him before he entered the room: "Master?"

"Huh?" Qian Rong looked back at him.

"What to do next?"

"Go back to the house and sleep." Qian Rong answered him.

He ignored the stunned guards and went into the house and closed the door.

...The people left behind looked at each other, shrugging each other as if they believed him very much, and went back to their houses except for the attendants.

On the second day, Qian Rong didn't do anything, but called everyone in the palace, the servants and maids, into the hall.

Looking at the unknown people below, Qian Rong took a sip of tea and cleared his throat: "The Nine Kings are in trouble this time, it is God's will. Qian is not talented, and he is really helpless. Everyone has been in the palace all these years. It’s not that there is no friendship. In fact, the husband and wife are always in trouble. Qian is really incompetent, so he can only ask everyone to find their own way——Of course, the palace will give you enough compensation.”

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, but dared not discuss it.

Qian Rong looked at the situation, put down his teacup, and sighed: "Everyone, please go to the housekeeper and get your share, and then let's go."

Although those people hesitated, they had no other choice for a while.Even if I feel wronged in my heart, I misread this "Prince Concubine".

Zhao Xiaoqiang and the others were unmoved—they were not ordinary servant girls or guards, but dead soldiers brought out by Zhuang Jiu.The so-called dead warriors are those who will not betray their master until they die.Even if you are facing, as Qian Rong said, God.

Back in the study again, Qian Rong looked at Zhao Xiaoqiang and Qin Gang who were still following behind him, and raised one corner of his mouth: "The Nine Kings didn't raise you for nothing."

"Master." Zhao Xiaoqiang's address has not changed.

They are also loyal to Qian Rong, which is beyond doubt.

"Let's all go back," Qian Rong said, "Sleep well tonight."

"……Yes."

Until late at night, Qian Rong stayed in the study and did not come out.Until the steward knocked on the door.

"All gone?" Qian Rong asked while reading a book.

"Yes." The steward replied.

He has been with the Nine Kings for many years, and he is absolutely loyal to the Nine Kings.

Qian Rong still didn't raise his eyes: "You go too."

"Master..." The old butler suddenly moistened his eyes.

Qian Rong said lightly: "What is left for you is enough for you to go home and retire with peace of mind."

"However, the Nine Princes' Mansion was defeated overnight, old slave, I'm not reconciled..." said the old housekeeper.

Qian Rongcai looked up, looked at him and smiled: "I'm serious, thank you for taking care of Zhuang Jiu these years, but it's time for fate to come to an end."

The old butler was speechless, sighed, and withdrew.

Qian Rongcai calmly turned his gaze back to the book in his hand.

In the middle of the night, a group of men in black quietly entered the Nine Princes' Mansion. After searching everywhere, they found that they went to the empty building, and they couldn't even find a mouse.

"Leader?" A man in black asked the leader.

"It must have been during the day when the servants were gone." The leader frowned, "Now we have to wait for the news from the Ninth Prince."

"Then now—"

"Retreat first, find a way to go to the Nine Kings quickly," said the leader, "I'm afraid something will change before dawn."

Qian Rong actually didn't go far.There are so many secret passages in the Nine Princes Mansion, any one can enter and exit at will.After seeing that all the people in black had evacuated, Qian Rongcai entered the palace again through the secret passage—not far from the gate of the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, carrying a cage covered in black cloth.

When it was almost dawn, Qian Rong, who had already dozed off again, lifted the black cloth of the cage beside him, and released dozens of butterflies that Zhuang Jiu usually feeds.Each butterfly pursues its favorite fragrance, spreads out, and gradually disappears in the pure blackness before dawn.

After a while, another group of men in black came to the palace.

"Master." Zhao Xiaoqiang saluted Qian Rong.

Qian Rong was already wearing night clothes, looked at the 30 people in front of him, and said calmly, "Let's go."

The people behind him did not ask, but just followed behind him.

Because she knew the entanglement between this master and Zhuang Jiu, she trusted him.

Do the math and it's morning time.The jailers who were told by their superiors to watch over the night yawned, it was finally dawn.

When the head of the prison was cleared up and wanted to change shifts, he heard a sound of sword energy coming from behind him, and hurriedly dodged away. Looking back, more than a dozen men in black were about to kill.

The cell boss hurriedly picked up the machete beside him, but he didn't have time to chop it down—at least he heard the alarm gongs outside before he was about to die, so he was able to rest his eyes for a while.

The leading man in black exchanged a glance with his colleagues beside him, seeing that it was necessary to make a quick decision, so a dozen or so people separated and searched in each cell while fighting with the rest of the jailers.

Zhuang Jiu heard the strange movement and knew that someone was coming.Listening to the movement, I'm afraid it's not my own... His brows were furrowed, thinking about how to keep Shisan safe.Just a man in black broke in, and immediately stepped forward to chop with a knife.Zhuang Jiu dodged sideways, backhanded a piece of wood that had been sharpened and pierced the man's eyes, took advantage of the man's unbearable pain, grabbed the knife, and chopped it down.

Warm blood stained his body, even though it was extremely urgent, Zhuang Jiu was still a little stunned—after all, he got the blood on his own hands...

Hearing another movement behind him, and sighing, Zhuang Jiu turned around, but suddenly met a pair of bottomless eyes.

The fighting outside was still the same, but it was different from the scene just now.The jailers saw a group of black-clothed men with red scarves tied on their arms invading again, but the target was the previous group of men and horses.

Zhuang Jiu looked at that person, and finally smiled helplessly: "As expected, you are still here..."

The man didn't answer him, but just looked at him coldly.

Zhuang Jiu wanted to flatter her, so she smiled and said, "More ladies will help you again..."

"Stunned and dragged away." The man said in a clear and cold voice.

Zhao Xiaoqiang touched the back of Zhuang Jiu with ease, and skillfully chopped off the back of Zhuang Jiu's neck with a knife, neatly.

Seeing the situation, Zhuang Shisan, who had already been found over there, couldn't figure it out for a while, and then saw him, Uncle Qian, look at him coldly, and immediately said obediently: "I'll do it myself..."

Then he closed his eyes and passed out.

...Qian Rong tugged at the corner of his mouth, and ordered: "Take care of them."

"Yes."

When they went out, the scene was almost cleaned up, Qian Rong made a gesture, and everyone gathered quickly.

"withdraw."

Qian Rong ordered that all the people left Dali Temple in an instant as if they had come, and disappeared completely.

As if stepping on a spot, as soon as the troops from one side withdrew, a large number of officers and soldiers from the other side rushed in.The leader was the people around the Seventh King. Looking at the situation, only the Ninth King and the Thirteenth Prince were taken away, so they frowned: "Order down, the imperial city is under martial law."

"Yes."

Zhuang Jiu slowly opened his eyes, it would be more appropriate to say that he was awakened by the strong fragrance.

When the line of sight is fixed, there are red gauze tents around, which are extremely ambiguous decorations.Only the blue-clothed figure in front of the table made it look like it wasn't a dream.

"Little Qian..." Zhuang Jiu opened his mouth and shouted, and was about to lift the quilt and get up, the wounds on his body had been properly treated with medicine.

When Qian Rong heard the call, he turned his head and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Zhuang Jiu knew he was wrong, and turned his head away guiltily: "Hey, this place is not bad...why does it look familiar..."

"Wanhua Building." Qian Rong replied.

Zhuang Jiu was dumbfounded.

"Silver Pine Castle was formerly called Lei Bao, and the previous castle owner had a close personal relationship with the intelligence leader at that time. That intelligence network was mainly distributed in casinos, brothels and other low-level places." Qian Rong explained simply.

"Oh..." Zhuang Jiu seemed to be taught, and would draw inferences, "I heard that there was a Mr. Xiao at that time..."

Qian Rong didn't answer him, but just stared at him.

Only then did Zhuang Jiu touch the back of his head: "My lady, I know I was wrong..."

"Oh?" Qian Rong raised his eyebrows, "Excuse me for being stupid, but I don't know where you went wrong?"

"I shouldn't have done this scene with the Seven Kings without telling you... But I really don't want you to be in danger. This matter is too important. If one link is not handled properly, it will..."

"Lost your life?" Qian Rong asked.

"...If you go back to Silver Pine Castle, I will definitely come to you after the matter is over..." Zhuang Jiu muttered.

"But I can't wait," Qian Rong sneered, "When you say we'll go together, you mean that I'm in a place you think is safe, waiting for you who will come to me at some point?"

"I was wrong." Zhuang Jiu apologized sincerely, and when he got out of bed, every step he took would involve wounds—the jailers didn't play with him.

Qian Rong was silent.

Zhuang Jiu finally walked to his side: "That's why you made up your mind to rob me and procrastinated to make me suffer?"

Qian Rong glanced at him: "If you don't let you play tricks enough, how can you completely separate your relationship with the Seven Kings."

Zhuang Jiu had no choice but to reach out to hug Qian Rong, but was stopped: "Go back to bed and lie down."

Zhuang Jiu pouted, as if she was really about to cry this time.Qian Rong was annoyed at him, but he couldn't really do anything to him, so he got up by himself, grabbed his shoulders, and sent him to the bed.

"I just hate you for being like this, for burying the matter so deeply." Qian Rong said bitterly, "If I hadn't thought of going to the Seven Kings, how would I have known that it was you who were planning a bitter trick, just to get rid of the prince completely? identity……"

Zhuang Jiu smiled wryly: "No, you've already guessed it with your Bingxue smartness... In the end, you also joined forces with the Seven Kings, right?"

"Otherwise, do you think you can get out so easily?" Qian Rong asked back.

Zhuang Jiu didn't answer him, but asked suddenly: "I am not that identity now, do you still want to be with me?"

Qian Rong was overwhelmed with anger: "I have feelings for you only because of your status as a child?!"

Zhuang Jiu hurriedly hugged him: "Look at you, that's why I don't worry about telling you, I know you won't dislike me..."

"Let me go, this one is one..."

"Don't let it go," Zhuang Jiu expected that he wouldn't dare to use too much force, so he hugged her tightly, "I already said that I won't let it go in this lifetime..."

The two children who watched them flirting outside the door looked at each other, shrugged, and walked away first.

"It's great that you're fine." Zhuang Shisan said.

Zhuang feared looking at him: "The people from Silver Pine Castle came to me as soon as something happened... What are you talking about, let's see what you have suffered..."

Seeing Zhuang Horan's sad face, Zhuang Yi hurriedly comforted him: "It's all right, it's just some flesh and blood wounds. In order to make big things happen, let's be informal..."

Zhuang fear is still very sad: "Is it okay to let father... father do this alone, what are you going to get involved in..."

Hearing his "rebellious" words, Zhuang Yi was half relieved and half sighed secretly, but she still explained: "I never thought about it at the time, didn't I feel lonely when I saw Shi Qiyi sitting there watching the moon?" ...I went to talk to him a few words, but he thought I knew that he was going out, so he inadvertently revealed a few ideas of Uncle Jiu, one of which was to kill two birds with one stone, not only let Seventeen go out...At that time I I also figured it out, I know what I want to choose──”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Yi looked at Zhuang Horn and smiled: "So I thought that since I've made up my mind, I'd just let go and do it—this way things will look more realistic..."

"..." Zhuang feared looking at him, and suddenly warned seriously, "Then you must be careful during this time, and don't offend the adoptive father..."

Zhuang Yi twitched her lips: "I will."

Zhuang feared to smile.Zhuang Yi looked at him.

"I'm laughing. The whole life my father said is just the beginning."

Half a month later, the seven kings reported to the emperor that the imperial city had been searched, but the missing nine kings and thirteen princes were still missing.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough search.The Seventh King hesitated for a moment, and said that the Ninth King once went south with his family without any guards, maybe there was an arrangement there.The emperor issued an order to expand the scope of the search to the south of the Yangtze River, making sure to see both the dead and the dead.In addition, the wounded man in black who died at the scene of the prison robbery was found to be inextricably linked to the three kings. Although the emperor didn't say anything about it, the three kings' recent situation is not as free as before.

Another month later, the Jiangnan cloth family expanded their business and opened more than a dozen shops in the imperial city in one fell swoop.In the small fabric shop in the south of the city, there was a hands-off shopkeeper, whose surname was Rong, and was known as Rong Jiuye.Master Rong Jiu had a follower named Liu Yiqian.Sometimes I heard him say to people, don't look at me as a penny now, I have always been rich!Every now and then, Rong Jiuye would grab your ears and scold you, telling you to go crazy again!
