cold branch low

Wen Renhuang ate the dinner brought by his servants early, and fell asleep as if he was not in a good mood.

Huo Xiao frowned when he heard the report from the guard sent to follow Wen Renhuang.

"You said that he went out at noon, only went shopping in the street for a while, chatted with street vendors, and came back depressed."

Shen Chen lowered his head and replied: "Go back to the lord, the villain has also checked, the peddler on the street is also fine, and has been doing business locally for many years."

Huo Xiao nodded: "What business does that peddler do?"

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "It seems to be some jade ornaments."

"Could it be that he misses when he was in Qihuang Mountain?" Huo Xiao murmured, thinking that Qihuang Mountain is rich in jade.Shen Chen thought for a while, and said: "My lord, maybe he is missing his family. These days, this person doesn't look like a treacherous and evil person, and his heart seems to be quite simple."

"Simple?" Huo Xiao sneered, "Are there any simple people on Qihuang Mountain? From Fengtian to the people around him, if there are simple people, hell will be."

Shen Chen remained silent, and Huo Xiao continued: "I don't believe that what happened back then was ordinary robbers murdering for money. I saw with my own eyes that my father handed over the money, and they still chased after him. Their eyes were from beginning to end. It’s not about money in the end, those people want our lives.”

His voice became lower and lower, more and more cold, his eyes seemed to tear those who were not in front of him alive.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the old housekeeper shouted respectfully outside the door: "My lord, I beg to see you."

Huo Xiao whispered: "Come in." Shen Chen and Shen Xing stepped back behind Huo Xiao, the visitor saw Shen Chen and didn't say anything, just bowed to Huo Xiao, and said: "My lord, Mr. Wenren is back today After seeing the old slave, I asked the old slave to give this item to the prince, saying that he is grateful to the prince for taking him in."

Shen Chen handed the white jade ruyi tassel in the butler's hand to Huo Xiao.

"It's an exquisite gadget," Huo Xiao held it, unable to tell if he was satisfied or what, he just nodded slightly, noncommittal.

The old housekeeper lowered his head and said: "My lord, according to this old servant, this gentleman is well-behaved and obedient, but after all, he is not a person who knows everything. I'm afraid it would be wrong to stay in the palace."

Shen Chen's expression was a little strange: "Housekeeper, the prince just took care of the royal family's face and took in people from Qihuang Mountain."

The old butler paused for a moment, then looked up at Huo Xiao, who also had a strange expression on his face, and couldn't help but be speechless.

Huo Xiao asked lightly: "Huo Ting, where did you start talking?"

The old housekeeper Huo Ting felt a little headache when he saw that the prince seemed to be unconscious of this matter.He thought for a while, and then slowly said: "The old slave has recently heard rumors that Mr. Wenren is you..." He paused, and then changed his words, "The prince has not married a wife so far, so it is inevitable that there will be some gossip."

Huo Xiao's pupils almost shrank to a point.

Shen Chen wanted to eat a goose egg in his mouth.

Huo Ting felt as if he had said something so important that his master's eyes were about to pop out.

After a while, it was Shen Chen who came back to his senses first, and looked at Huo Xiao in disbelief, Huo Xiao roared: "What are you looking at!"

Huo Ting and Shen Chen knelt down at the same time: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Huo Xiao gritted his teeth: "Huo Ting, where did you hear this?"

The old housekeeper felt that his head was always hurting, why the little master who was involved in the matter didn't know anything about it. "Returning to the lord, the servants are spreading it, and there should be many people in the city who know about it. I don't know who started spreading it."

Huo Xiao was furious. He is not yet married. He has grown up to such an age, and he has never had any dewy marriage. In this regard, he has not been caught. It is good that this time not only he is rumored, but also he and a man .

"Good, good, good!"

He said three good ones in a row, and slammed the table, all the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table were shocked by him. "I tied up those servants who love to spread rumors, and each of them slapped their mouths fifty times! People in the palace dare to follow outsiders to spread rumors about their masters, they really don't know how to live or die!"

That night, the palace was filled with howls, and it was precisely because it was so lively that almost no one noticed that a black figure leaped into the palace from the back door and sneaked into Wen Renhuang's room.

Wen Renhuang, who hadn't slept well in the first place, was startled, and instinctively sensed that someone was there.

"Who is it!" He jumped up from the bed immediately, and vaguely saw a dark figure by the window.

The black shadow moved, but did not move towards Wen Renhuang.

Wen Renhuang didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he didn't dare to act lightly. The other party slowly took out the entry and exit order of Qihuang Mountain and said, "Mr. Wen Ren, calm down, I am a crow."

crow! ?

Wen Renhuang immediately remembered that Peacock had told him that day that Fengtian's two apostles were outside, one was a vulture in the rivers and lakes, and the other was a crow who was an official in the court.

By the moonlight by the window, Wen Renhuang saw clearly that the entry and exit order in the person's hand was the same as Phoenix's, it was a token made of fine iron from Qihuang Mountain, and this person's appearance, I thought it was a crow. The person with the name would be a creepy old monster, but now it seems clearly not.

Wen Renhuang looked at Crow's handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament with some surprise, raised his hand and said, "Wen Renhuang has seen Senior Crow."

Crow seemed to be able to see Wen Renhuang's expression in the dark, and said with a smile: "Why, are you surprised, don't you think I don't look like me?" Wen Renhuang shook his head in embarrassment: "No, no, I'm just surprised, why is Senior Crow here! "

Crow smiled: "Tomorrow I will formally visit Prince Duan's mansion. I just came to see you tonight. Let me remind you that King Duan is cruel. King Feng heard that you fell into the hands of King Duan. He ordered me to take you out as soon as possible. In a few days I will go to Duan Wangfu, and if something happens to the Wangfu, you will take the opportunity to escape."

"Fengtian asked you to come and take me away?" Wen Renhuang's eyes sparkled suddenly, "Okay! I will definitely remember!"

Crow thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "I came to Ning'an today and heard some news that you and Prince Duan..."

"What's the matter with Prince Duan?" Wen Renhuang looked at him in confusion.

Crow paused: "It's nothing, you did a good job, didn't you make King Duan suspicious?"

"There must be doubts, but I shouldn't have shown my feet. As long as I'm careful, he'll just treat me as an ordinary servant of Qihuang Mountain." Wen Renhuang mused for a moment and said in a low voice.

Crow nodded, and his eyes lingered on Wen Renhuang for a long time: "Don't let him know your identity, I will find a way to take you away."

Wen Renhuang hurriedly asked: "Senior, I accidentally fell into Hei Luan's hands before. It was King Duan who rescued me. He read my name directly, but why didn't he know my identity?"

Crow raised his eyebrows: "The peacock messed up something, so naturally the people in the barracks that Peacock went to find will lead you. It is true that Heiluan and Qihuang Mountain are against each other, but they dare not directly confront the court, but they did not expect that King Duan The news is so fast, I will stop you halfway."

"Why did King Duan save me? Peacock said that King Duan is as inaccessible as Heiluan." Wen Renhuang frowned.

The crow's eyes darkened: "Saving you doesn't necessarily mean that you want you to live well."

In the early morning of the next day, Wen Renhuang woke up and was taken aback again when he went out. What happened this night? Why is it that almost all the servants of the palace have swollen faces.

Wen Renhuang grabbed the little brother who brought him food, and asked curiously: "Hey, little brother, let me ask you something!"

The servant whose face was swollen from the beating didn't even dare to look at Wen Renhuang, and immediately turned around and knelt down and wailed, "Mr. Wenren, if you have anything to do, just ask me!"

Wen Renhuang was taken aback again, and said calmly on the surface: "You... what's wrong with all of you, I woke up today and saw that many people's faces were swollen."

After delivering the meal, the face became even more bitter, and he lowered his head and said: "The little ones made mistakes and said the wrong words. The princes and lords have a lot of people, and they didn't kill the little ones. These small things are nothing."

Wen Renhuang bowed to the sky silently in his heart, he was indeed a ruthless prince.

As soon as he was muttering, the butler came over and told him that the prince wanted to see him. The old butler's eyes were calm and far away, as if he was looking directly into the distance through Wen Renhuang's body, just like looking at a dead person. Wen Renhuang was shocked and his face was calm Land and the housekeeper hand in hand to know.

Wen Renhuang thought to himself, he didn't know the purpose of King Duan yet, so he had to be steady before the crow came, otherwise his life might be in danger.

Followed the servants who led the way through the palace, and when they arrived at the study, the housekeeper was already waiting in front of the door. Seeing Wen Renhuang dressed up specially, his gaze that was deliberately pretending to be indifferent could no longer be indifferent. He felt that there was some malicious gaze, but he didn't dare to look around while standing in front of the study of Duan Wangfu.

The old butler took a deep breath and informed Wen Renhuang, his eyes were full of hatred.

"The villain pays homage to the lord." Wen Renhuang's embarrassed look pleased Huo Ting who was staring aside, and Duan Wang Huo Xiao's eyes were always icy.

"Get up, I have a few words to ask you."

When Wen Renhuang got up, he saw a man in black standing behind Huo Xiao, probably the personal guard of King Duan.

"Excuse me, my lord, the villain will definitely tell my lord everything I know." Wen Renhuang lowered his eyes.

"As far as I know, Peacock's character will never help others easily. He didn't say that he helped you down the mountain, but he asked someone to rescue you when you were arrested. This is definitely not his style. Can you tell me , why did he help you?" Huo Xiao didn't wear his hair in a bun today, he lowered his head slightly, a strand of long hair covered his eyes, and Wen Renhuang was shocked by the sharp look in those eyes.

"My lord, the villain originally took care of Mr. Peacock in the mountains. Mr. Peacock doesn't often go out of the mountain, so the villain has taken care of Mr. Peacock's food and daily life in the mountains for many years, so he is willing to help me." Wen Renhuang was struggling. make up reasons.

Huo Xiao nodded slowly, with a smile that was not a smile: "You were arrested in Hei Luan, is there anyone else with you?"

Wen Renhuang immediately shook his head: "I don't know. Before I was arrested, I was going to a nearby town by myself. After I woke up, I was the only one around."

"In this case, there is no possibility of being replaced." Huo Xiao touched the teacup by the table.

Wen Renhuang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "My lord, are you still doubting the identity of the villain?"

Huo Xiao looked at him coldly: "You are in Hei Luan, how did you tell those people about your identity?"

"Small man... In order to survive, the villain dare not say that he is from Qihuang Mountain. The villain knows that those people are bad people, so he can only say that he is from the nearby military camp. These are taught by Mr. Peacock , He said that you can't easily reveal where you are from outside, because there will be people who have evil intentions..." Wen Renhuang's voice became softer as he spoke, because he noticed that Huo Xiao's face was getting darker and darker.

"You said you were from the barracks? Who was from the barracks?" At this moment, the man in black behind Huo Xiao spoke.

Wen Renhuang paused... He said he was a recruit, but those people insisted that he was a general...

Seeing that Wen Renhuang didn't dare to say anything, Huo Xiao already knew something in his heart, and his face turned darker immediately: "As expected of a person taught by Fengtian, he dares to say anything and do anything until he achieves his goal. Qihuang A small servant on the mountain is so bold, it really opened my eyes."

However, the old butler who vaguely felt that he knew the truth of the matter was inexplicably better. He even looked at Wen Renhuang with a much more innocent look. Hurry up and drag him out and beat him to death. Don't waste time!

Wen Renhuang blushed and shouted: "My lord, please don't spitting blood! The villain really just said that he was a recruit, and those people misunderstood the meaning of the villain in their own hearts! What's more, the villain said at the time that the prince took him in." If the villain offends him one day, he will die, it is the prince who insists on taking the villain back to the mansion, why is he pushing all the faults on the villain at this time!"

Huo Xiao sneered: "What a sharp-tongued servant, come here, drag him out and beat him eighty times!"

The old butler immediately got the order, and immediately opened the door to call for someone.

After Wen Renhuang was pinned down by the two servants, he was completely annoyed. Regardless of the fact that he had just changed into a new suit, he began to wrestle. He pushed the people around him away and yelled: "My lord, you are unreasonable! You insist on bringing the villain back. Now it's another eighty strikes to kill the villain!"

Huo Xiao narrowed his eyes: "This king is right, hurry up and drag him out to fight, it's an eyesore."
