Fucheng, the capital of the state

This Fucheng is different from the county town. Although it is night and close to Haishi, in Fucheng, there are still bright lights and feasting, and there are still endless crowds of people in the streets and alleys.

From time to time, there are groups of people walking together in twos and threes, including rich young men and fair-faced scholars, as well as pretty and beautiful young ladies.

There is a large house one mile away from this lively street. Two red lanterns are hung on the high door. After being exposed to wind and rain, it has faded and looks a little deserted.

Under the illumination of the lantern, the copper ring on the red iron door was dull and dull. It could be seen that few people visited here.

Not far away, two black figures were vaguely visible hiding in a corner, looking at the door from time to time.

At this time, a dark figure quietly came to the corner under the wall of the mansion. Looking at the two heads not far away, he sneered: "I didn't expect that even I was targeted."

After taking a closer look, this man was none other than Shenyang. Shen Yang quietly slipped behind the two of them.

He picked up the stones on the ground and took advantage of them. The stones in his hand flew out and hit the two people's acupuncture points, immediately immobilizing them.

In the darkness, Shen Yang searched the surroundings carefully, and seeing nothing unusual, he came to the gate.

He put his hand in front of the door knocker and was about to knock, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind.

Through the high wall, you can see a dim light shining through one of the rooms, and there are still people awake inside.

Shen Yang looked around, then with a swish of energy, he flew up the wall and entered the inner courtyard.

Under the dim light, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting on a chair and sighing. Next to the old man, there was also a young boy with a handsome face, his face full of solemnity at this time.

There was also a young man in the room, wearing a smart suit, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sharp look between his eyebrows.

"Guard Zhan, how are you? Is there any news about the prince?" the old man asked the man with concern.

"Ah~"

The man named Zhan Wewei's eyes dimmed and he sighed heavily: "No! I have traveled to many places during this time, but there is no whereabouts of the prince."

"Uncle Wu, what should we do?" Laifu, the young man standing next to Uncle Wu, said anxiously: "The prince has been missing for more than a month. He told me before that he was going to the capital.

But people from the imperial court have been here in the past few days, and they can't see the prince. They haven't seen him back for so long. I don't know what happened. "

"Something must have happened to the young master, otherwise it would be impossible not to come back." Uncle Wu said to himself.

"I went to all the places where the young master might go, but I couldn't find him. Hey, I'm so anxious." Guard Zhan slammed his fist on the table.

Now that the Tenth Master is away, the Sixth Master and Eighth Master's gang are ready to take action, and together with the treacherous ministers, they are closing in on the Emperor step by step. The Seventh Master is struggling to support him, but he can't do anything alone.

If the Tenth Master never comes back and the Sixth Master is granted the title of Crown Prince, he and the Seventh Master will be unable to save themselves.

"Knock knock..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

The guards became vigilant. Who would knock on the door at midnight?

There are not many people in this house, and the prince doesn't like to be disturbed, so he doesn't even want any maids. Apart from them, there are only a few servants and guards.

Several people looked at each other and looked at the door. Laifu was about to open the door, but Guard Zhan stopped him with his hand: "I'm going to open the door~"

Seeing Guard Zhan being so vigilant, Uncle Wu and Laifu couldn't help but become nervous. Laifu suddenly felt that his throat was dry, swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Guard Zhan's eyes were blazing, he walked quickly to the door, lowered his voice and said: "Who~" After saying that, he put his ear close to the door and listened carefully.

"Guard Zhan, it's me..." A lazy and magnetic voice sounded.

"Your Majesty~" Zhan Wewei's eyes lit up, this was the prince's voice, and his voice could only be so relaxed in front of them.

Guard Zhan opened the door latch and saw a man in black standing outside the door.

Although he was wearing night clothes, he still couldn't block his majestic temperament. This is Shenyang, which is Heli, the Tenth Prince.

Heli nodded towards the guard, strode in, looked at the stunned Uncle Wu and Laifu, raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled seductively: "What, you two don't recognize me anymore."

"Your Highness, it's really you. You're back. I thought you were dead." Laifu stepped forward, his face flushed with excitement.

Pooh!

Heli sighed and raised a careless smile: "Don't worry, I will live long. I haven't seen the seventh brother ascend the throne yet, how dare I die!"

"It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back~" Uncle Wu stood up and murmured in a low voice, with tears in his eyes. He had watched the prince grow up. Rather than saying that the prince was his master, he regarded him as his son.

"Your Majesty, please sit down~" After Laifu said, he took Heli's hand, but unexpectedly it touched his injury.

"Hi~"

Heli screamed in pain, and Laifu was so frightened that he quickly let go.

"My lord, what happened to you?"

Guard Zhan stepped forward and was about to check, but Heli stretched out his hand to stop him: "It's okay, it's just an old injury."

"Your Majesty, let me take a look~" Uncle Wu came over.

Uncle Wu had seen him grow up since he was a child, and Heli also respected him very much. He remained silent and took off his clothes.

"Hi~"

Looking at the injuries on Heli's body, everyone took a breath of air. The wound that penetrated the chest and back was only two centimeters away from the heart, which shows how serious the injury was at that time.

Heli put his clothes in order and said, "This is why I haven't come back for so long."

"My lord, who did this?" Guard Zhan asked in a deep voice. He knew that those who dared to attack the prince were definitely not ordinary people.

Could it be as he suspected.

"Who else could it be besides him?" Heli's eyes were deep and the coldness in his eyes was even deeper. If you want to ruin his good deeds, of course you have to get rid of yourself first.

"My lord, do you have any evidence?" Zhan Weifei looked solemn: "If you have evidence against him, you have to be careful."

"This is exactly why I want to come back. I found some evidence, but now is not the time.

I want to find out the person behind this person who hurt me, and I need to hit the vital point with one blow, otherwise the consequences will be endless. "Heli squinted his eyes, like a leopard seeing its prey in the dark.

"You guys remember, you have never seen me come back. If anyone asks, you will say you have never seen me!" He Li whispered in this way.

"We know it!" Laifu and Uncle Wu nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Heli walked aside and waved to Guard Zhan: "Guard Zhan, come here~"

He took out a bunch of keys from his arms, handed them to him, and whispered a few words in his ear. Guard Zhan looked solemn and nodded repeatedly.

"Right now, there are people watching here. I'm gone. If you have nothing to do, don't come to me." After saying these words, Heli disappeared into the night again.

Zhan Wewei looked at the bunch of keys in his hand and quickly put them in his arms. Several people had their own thoughts, so they blew out the lamps and went back to their rooms.

Silence returned to the house, as if what happened just now had never happened.
