The shadow guard laughs at me with a broken sleeve

. "

"What the king of Chu said is true." Xue Lang smiled indifferently, borrowing the donkey to go downhill, offending too many people at once is also a little too self-confident.

It's just that he wouldn't believe that Mr. Yin Yang was covering his stomach just to put on an appearance, and that stupid guy who "conspired" with him to seize the great Chu country didn't have such a determined look in his eyes.

The King of Chu thought he was so foolish, touched his mustache, and uncovered the stubble: "Xue Lang, it's been so long since I've been back, and I didn't know there was a letter. Did you forget me? Also, Yanyan misses you so much." .”

"You worry too much. Even if this king forgets his father and queen mother, he will never forget you."

A letter?He can bear it if he doesn't send troops to fight.

When he said this, Xue Lang lowered his head slightly, with a calm expression on his face, and a very calm tone, but it was this kind of calm that made King Chu feel apprehensive.

"After all, if the king of Chu hadn't taken care of me in those years, I wouldn't be able to live like this now."

Xue Lang smiled briskly, with the tails of his eyes upturned, and looked lazily at the person sitting high in the hall, as if he was looking at a sparrow occupying a magpie's nest, or a clown who directed and acted on his own.

His pupils are light in color, and when he looks at a certain place, it is easy to give people the impression of being arrogant. In this kind of eyes, the king of Chu suddenly flashed a pair of identical eyes in his mind. It was many years ago. Xue Lang.

As early as that time, Xue Lang had shown extraordinary talent and showed his sharpness. Every time the king of Chu was swept by his gaze, he would always have an inexplicable feeling that a ferocious beast was coveting his territory.

Even in the abyss, in the adversity where there is no way out, that flamboyant child can't twist or bend, and even needs to beware of his backbiting at any time.

The old man with a trace of panic in his heart reflexively avoided Xue Lang's piercing sight, and then immediately came back to his senses, raised his neck high, and waved his short arms, like a monkey who was yelling.

"Presumptuous! Is this the way you talk to me?! Don't forget, this is Da Chu, and I can take your life with a single finger!"

Unexpectedly, Xue Lang raised his eyelids, uncharacteristically, lowered his head obediently, and said flatly, "Please." Although he did such an action, there was no respect at all in what he said. "But you couldn't kill me a few years ago, let alone now, are you right?"

In Daqing, he couldn't let go of his scruples about the brothers of the Northern Yan Army. On the contrary, in Dachu, he could fully reveal his ambition, even if it would arouse the vigilance of the King of Chu.

No one knew where his confidence came from, but his performance was shocking enough. At least the King of Chu was so frightened that he believed it was true, thinking that Xue Lang was arrested on purpose and came back to take revenge on him.

"Enough talking about the old days, King Chu, let's talk about the real business, for example, what's for dinner?"

The king of Chu hid his forehead in cold sweat under the high hat, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly when he heard this, his face was grim for a moment, and then he said: "Take him down, watch him carefully, just don't starve to death."

"Hey, what are you pushing? This king is your king's distinguished guest."

Xue Lang was taken away, and Mr. Yin Yang was left behind by the King of Chu. The two of them were silent in the hall. After a while, the King of Chu got up from the throne and walked down the steps slowly.

Mr. Yin Yang walked behind him a step behind, and said as he walked: "My lord, why do you have to bring him back? You know, if you don't get rid of him sooner or later, he will become a serious threat to Da Chu sooner or later."

Mr. Yin Yang said eagerly, and even he was afraid that Xue Lang would grow up. When he went down the steps, his expression was slightly painful, so he subconsciously covered his abdomen with his hands, and a slight smell of blood flowed out from his fingertips .

"Injured?" King Chu asked.

"Yes."

"Useless things."

The King of Chu snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, and continued to walk forward, with a gloomy expression on his face.

It didn't take long before he spoke again, the thread in his mind seemed to be cut off overnight, Yin Yang's advice was not listened to at all, his bloodshot eyes shone with excitement and pleasure, his cheeks trembled. He kept twisting the corners of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Taming a sharp-mouthed beast is very interesting, isn't it?"

"During this period, is it okay to be bitten off?"

The King of Chu tilted his head and looked at him strangely: "Before he shows his sharp teeth, I will break his bones first."

Seeing that the persuasion failed, Mr. Yin Yang had no choice but to leave. When he retreated outside the main hall, he happened to meet a girl in a bright yellow dress who hurried up the stairs, King Chu's favorite seventh princess.

"Seven..." Mr. Yin Yang immediately stopped to salute, but was pushed away by Seventh Princess Rong Yan.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of this princess!" She ran past him like the wind and entered the hall with its mouth wide open, "Father! Father! Where is he?"

Mr. Yin Yang stood there for a while, and left from another direction with a blank face. The little palace man beside him was so frightened that his legs trembled and he touched his head to the ground, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the main hall, before King Chu had time to return to the throne, Rong Yan grabbed him and looked at him pleadingly with those deer-like eyes.

King Chu, who always hated others looking down on him, didn't get angry immediately, but looked at her dotingly as he walked up the steps of the palace, and said, "Don't worry, Yan Yan, wait for the father to sharpen his spirit, and then put him to death." Take it to see you."

Rong Yan pursed her mouth, not very happy: "Father, you promised me that you will reward me as soon as you bring him back."

"Be good, Yan Yan, now is not the time, besides, when did King Father ever go back on what he promised you?" King Chu patiently persuaded.

The heirs of the great Chu royal family were withered, and the total number of living princes and princesses was only a handful. Moreover, because the Chu king was too short, the concubines were not up to par, and the children they gave birth to were also extremely short.

But Rong Yan was the exception. She was tall and beautiful, almost the face of the royal family of Chu. In addition, her mother and concubine really had a way of serving people, so the king of Chu favored her very much.

No, because of her words, the King of Chu dared to send people to Daqing to blatantly snatch away a prince.

Rong Yan was obviously unconvinced, seeing the frown of the King of Chu, she swallowed her words again, looking a little frustrated.

"Knowing about the father, the son will retire."

King Chu nodded: "Go down."

If Xue Lang was a soft and harmless little beast, he would definitely stuff him into the arms of his little princess without hesitation, but unfortunately, Xue Lang is a man-eating beast.

If the two of them were allowed to meet like this, Xue Lang would definitely use Rong Yan to blackmail him, and he didn't know which side he would abandon by then.

25. A Bad Show

It was night, and suddenly a four-cornered hook was thrown out of the towering city wall of the palace, and it was firmly grasped on the top of the wall, reflecting a sharp cold light under the moonlight. wall, and then disappeared into the darkness inside the city wall as lightly as a swallow.

"who?!"

The patrolling guards came striding forward, and the low flowers twitched twice, as if blown by the wind. Not far away, a white cat was poking its head.

The partner followed him, he was relieved to see this, and put his hand on his shoulder: "Hey, it's a false alarm, it's that master's cat again, and it comes here twice a day."

"Well, let's go look elsewhere."

"Go drink some rough bars later, it's cold."

"Indeed, mice don't want to come out of their holes."

"Hey! What kind of charades are you guys playing?"

The whispers and rustling voices gradually faded away, and half a quarter of an hour later, several mysterious guards suddenly reappeared, their eagle-eyed sharp eyes swept over every place, and low-pitched reports came one after another.

After confirming that there was no one in the place, they let go of their doubts and walked away. This was highly praised by the King of Chu, and soldiers never tire of cheating.

"Let's go, there's no one there."

However, after a while, the previous group of guards fumbled back again. As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating again and again.

The white cat stayed where it was, looking at them with dark green eyes, much quieter than usual.

At the same time, a figure quietly flashed into the palace where Xue Lang was imprisoned.

At that time, Xue Lang was cooking tea and wine, leisurely and leisurely, without the consciousness of being under house arrest. When he saw someone coming, he just glanced at him lightly, and then continued to play with the brand new tea set, the jug that had been rolled in boiling water for several times , placed on the stove to warm, braving a thick mist.

Mr. Yin Yang did not expect him to be so calm, staring at his movements for a long time, almost made him forget the purpose of coming here.

"Xue Lang, you can act tonight."

"No, isn't Mr. Yin Yang injured? It's better to postpone the plan."

"Injured? Well, it's a small injury, but it doesn't matter, just follow the original plan."

"The original plan? Why didn't this king know there was another plan?"

Mr. Yin Yang was so excited that his face was stained with anger, he couldn't help taking a step forward, suppressed his voice, and said through gritted teeth: "Xue Lang! If you keep pretending to be stupid, it's not just the King of Chu who will die tonight." ! And you!"

Xue Lang didn't turn his head: "You can try it."

There was silence in the hall for a while, and there was a surge of innuendo, until there was movement outside the window again, and another slender figure jumped into the window like a cat, bringing in a fragrance that belonged to a woman.

That person seemed to have not expected to face two big men with stinky faces, and was stunned for a moment, thus forming the current "three-legged" situation.

It was Xue Lang who was the first to cook the wine and broke the silence.

"A cup for the two of you?"

Not long after, the three of them sat down around the table strangely, and the voice of "catch the assassin" came from afar outside the hall.

Mr. Yin Yang didn't even look at the wine cup pushed in front of him, but stared at the black-clothed
