Huaiyu is slightly cool

At night three days later, Zhou Huai, who had been sent out hundreds of miles away from the capital, appeared strangely in a secret passage in the palace, holding the hand of the eldest princess who was waiting at the agreed place, without even holding a lamp, and directly Leading people to walk quickly in the up and down winding passages as if walking on flat ground.

The eldest princess couldn't help wondering: "Can you see at night?"

Although Zhou Huai focused on distinguishing the way, he still replied casually: "I'm bored, so I practiced."

The eldest princess tentatively asked: "Then why are you so familiar with these secret passages?"

"Didn't I tell you that I picked up a luminous pearl in the secret passage? I will always remember the road I have traveled once. This is instinct."

The eldest princess obviously didn't believe her words.Before, Zhou Huai only told her about the dry well where she could enter the secret passage, but on the way Zhou Huai took her, she saw several forks and iron doors that had obviously been opened from the dust, so she was neither hot nor cold. He said: "It seems that in order to find that luminous pearl, you have visited all the secret passages under the palace. It is really not easy."

Zhou Huai paused, then answered with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm honored. In fact, I just came down a few times to find a few more."

The eldest princess choked, and suddenly remembered that Zhou Huai said that she was a thief in her previous life, and she might be a thief who snatched things from the living and snatched the ghost artifact from the dead.Looking back, she realized that none of the more than 50 guards had followed after turning around in the dark passage. She couldn't help frowning and looked at Zhou Huai, although she knew that the other party didn't like being followed by a group of guards. Daqun's tail, but it's obviously not right to deliberately lead her away under such circumstances. The eldest princess stopped and looked at Zhou Huai.

Zhou Huai only glanced sideways at the eldest princess, pulled her along without stopping, and said with relief: "Don't worry, I've made a mark to mark the direction, and they will follow."

The eldest princess also noticed the arrow marks on the wall whenever the road diverged, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then chose to continue to follow Zhou Huai.

The two of them finally stood in front of an open space that was as regular as a nine-square grid. Behind them, the iron gate they entered had closed automatically, just like the other eight smooth iron gates around them.

The eldest princess looked at the nine iron gates without any engravings or signs on all sides, and was a little dazed.

Zhou Huai looked at her and blinked, then adjusted her breathing and began to step on the open space.

The eldest princess was confused by Zhou Huai's actions, and she just stared at Zhou Huai's actions in silence. When she heard Zhou Huai's mouth saying "Qian Yuan Henry Zhen", she also understood that the other party was walking on the Tiangang Eight Diagrams Step.She looked at this strange place, then at Zhou Huai who was behaving strangely, her eyes suddenly became strange.

Under the strange eyes of the eldest princess, Zhou Huai calmly walked the gossip steps over and over again, until he heard that there seemed to be movement in the passage outside the iron gate, then he blinked at the eldest princess and said playfully: " I'll make a magic trick for you." After finishing speaking, without waiting for the eldest princess to react, she raised her head and shouted: "Ladder."

"Yes." The flap above the head was lifted, the ladder was lowered, and the dust and moonlight just fell into the eyes of the eldest princess.

Zhou Huai smiled proudly: "Isn't it amazing?"

"..." The eldest princess finished rubbing her eyes, looked at Zhou Huai's face with a mean smile, and clenched her fists without saying a word.

Zhou Huai smiled: "You go up first, and then let them pull me up directly."

After hearing this, the eldest princess looked up at the top of her head which was more than two feet high, and climbed up the ladder without saying a word.

Drilling out of the seal, the quiet night is heavy, with floating light and mist, cold and melting into the moon.The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, looking around, the desolate small courtyard, a sage plum in full bloom in the corner, the earthen house with low walls, and the dry grass all around was silent, and this scene was definitely not in the palace.At this time, a gust of night wind howled, and the chill poured down the long princess's loose black robe with a hood. The long princess shuddered, and instantly woke up from the cold.

After a while, Zhou Huai also got out, and waved his hand to let the servants who stood up take the ladder and stepped back, before looking at the eldest princess beside him.

Knowing that she had been tricked, the eldest princess stood still in the cold wind, with a vague expression in her eyes, but her hands were tightly clenched on the dagger she carried with her.

Zhou Huai glanced at her, first smiled and said, "You may not be able to kill me if you draw your sword now, but if you dare to draw your sword, I will take you away and make you a child bride."

The eldest princess lowered her eyes and asked coldly: "Where are the people I'm bringing with me?"

"Of course it's still in the secret passage. I just wish them good luck and come out alive."

"Why did you design me?" The eldest princess's voice remained calm, but her expression was cold.

Long before Zhou Huai said that he was going to leave Beijing, the eldest princess felt that the other party was provoking her intentionally or unintentionally. She knew that Zhou Huai was unwilling to suffer and had a temperament of revenge, so she was quite tolerant and even cooperated. In the last few days, it would be fine to wait for Zhou Huai to leave. Anyway, her intuition told her that Zhou Huai would not really kill her, but she never thought that Zhou Huai would calculate herself like this, and she was so foolish to take the initiative to enter the trap , Ren Zhouhuai teased, now she was secretly annoyed, the handle of the dagger in her hand was almost crushed.

"I just want to invite you to watch a show." After Zhou Huai finished speaking, he walked towards the brightly lit room.The eldest princess held the handle of the dagger tightly, and followed her into the door.

Inside the house, Zhou Huai and the eldest princess were sitting opposite each other by the window.The eldest princess looked at the tea, snacks and various dried fruits on the tables, and at Zhou Huai, who was holding a hand stove and nibbling melon seeds, waiting for a good show, pursed her lips and asked, "What exactly do you want to do? "

After the eldest princess finished speaking, there were several noises in the silent night.The eldest princess looked back keenly at the courtyard, and saw that the seal they came up just now was moved, and a person came up, looking into the room where the lights were turned off by Zhou Huai just now, but cautiously did not approach, and passed a column Husband, a steady stream of people began to come out and look at Zhou Huai vigilantly, and finally approached the hut where they were staying together.

The eldest princess focused her eyes slightly, trying to identify the identities of those people, but suddenly heard the sound of arrows she was most familiar with flying from outside the low wall.Under the moonlight, the arrows shot into the bodies of those people with a cold light, but within a moment, those who came up had already fallen to the ground with screams.

A group of men and horses rushed out of the house, with light footsteps, and swiftly stabbed the still alive person, and then threw all the corpses into the newly dug pit next to the red plum tree like throwing garbage, and then hid again.

"Before I came out, I moved the mechanism, closed the other exits, and then waited. How about it, is it exciting?"

The eldest princess closed her eyes before asking, "Who are those people?"

Zhou Huai shrugged: "I don't know either, maybe it's for money, maybe it's for revenge, who knows?"

"You traveled hundreds of miles back and forth just for this killing?"

"Yeah, do you regret not killing me now?"

The eldest princess looked at Zhou Huai in silence, and another round of killing continued in the courtyard. Zhou Huai in the room propped his cheek with one hand, resting his elbow on the desk, and resting his other hand on the desk, slowly She rowed slowly, with a calm and composed expression, but the eldest princess sitting beside her could only feel the other party's coldness and ruthlessness.

"Why does it have to be like this, you can leave safely, can't you?"

Zhou Huai's expression was cold: "Anran is not safe! I brought my servants to Beijing openly, but I was left alone by those who were bullied by small shrimps and crabs. When I left, I was still sneaky. How could I leave willingly ?”

Zhou Huai's injuries were still not healed, but she didn't have time to find out who was behind the attack, so she simply attracted all those people or families who had enemies with her.

"Then I should be counted among them." The eldest princess looked at the pile of dead bodies in the yard and said indifferently. There were already hundreds of people lying down, and her tone could not detect any emotion.

"To me, you are different from them." Zhou Huai also looked at the pile of corpses, but sneered disdainfully.She knew that money touched people's hearts, and she was the bait herself, so those people would send some people over more or less. Looking at the mountain of corpses, she was not disappointed.

Unknown, the eldest princess asked: "What's the difference? I want to kill you too, don't I? More than once."

"I like you, and I will do anything to please you, so I will forgive you for anything you do to me; and for people I hate, I will feel that I am really merciful if they live a little longer. This is the difference."

The eldest princess was stunned, with mixed emotions in her heart, which finally turned into a bone-chilling chill.She stared at Zhou Huai, and only then did she deeply understand Zhou Huai's disregard for life, which was a kind of indifference to others as well as herself, and everything she did could not be distinguished between good and evil, because everything she did It's just for herself, she can do everything for herself, so simple and cruel.It turned out that she was wrong. She thought she could teach Zhou Huai to get rid of the chaos anyway, but she forgot that her nature is hard to change. Now she realizes how wrong she was.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Zhou Huai couldn't help asking when seeing the eldest princess staring at him with an unpredictable expression.

In fact, Zhou Huai was also worried.Because Wu Mingtai prepared for her a team of the strongest teachers in the first stage, including more than 20 famous or secluded teachers from all over the country, each with their own strengths in military, political, cultural, and even relatively partial astronomy, geography, and poison institutions. Teacher Chang, it can be said that everything is involved except for the female precepts. It can be regarded as a comprehensive cultivation of morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor, but it is still not enough!This time, I want to send her to study in another place where she will not be disturbed by the outside world. She also said that according to her aptitude, it would be considered fast if she could pass all the learning in four or five years, but based on Zhou Huai's understanding of Wu Mingtai Well, the four or five years he said is definitely more than five years, and it is very likely that it was calculated based on her talent of photographic memory in her previous life.Moreover, according to Wu Mingtai's plan, he is now starting to collect and investigate for her the staff members who will assist her in the second stage of the world. When she finishes all the studies in the first stage and passes the assessment, he will let her dive into the sea when.More importantly, given Wu Mingtai's already frail and sickly physical condition, the burden on her will never be light. In this way, when Zhou Huai has time to pursue the eldest princess again, he will not know the year of the monkey.But their current relationship, not to mention the year of the monkey, even if Zhou Huai didn't show up for three to five months, the eldest princess could look down at her like a beauty separated from the clouds and ask 'who are you' like a stranger!Thinking of this, Zhou Huai felt uncomfortable, feeling that everything he had done before would be in vain.And the only thing in this world that will not be obliterated by time is love and hate.

For Zhou Huai, making the eldest princess hate her is definitely easier than loving her, but it is not easy, because he has to master the degree, not to touch his bottom line, but also let the other party hate him for ten or eight years, and then He also needs to give himself a chance to untangle (tangle) and untie (entangle) in the future, so Zhou Huai simply ruthlessly cheated the eldest princess directly, at least to make the eldest princess impressed with him.

What's more, in the past half a year in the capital, she was struggling, quite embarrassed, and the anger in her heart had been suppressed for a long time.At the beginning, she was reluctant and unwilling to leave, but she couldn't leave if she wanted to. Now she still has to be at the mercy of Wu Mingtai. According to her unruly temperament, she is willing, but she has nothing to do with Wu Mingtai, so she can only stay away. The family that gave birth to ghosts naturally refused to give up. Before leaving, they set up this trap, just thinking that as much as they can be caught, they will count as much as they can.

And the poor eldest princess, although she understands Zhou Huai's unwillingness to suffer, she is still careless or overestimates Zhou Huai's integrity. The person responsible for this matter must have counted her and Zhou Huai as one.

The eldest princess didn't want to stay any longer, she looked away, calmed down all her emotions, and asked calmly: "These are just little soldiers and generals, and they won't be hurt if they die. If you brought me here just to see these, then you It's better to rest early, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

The eldest princess was not as angry at the killing as Zhou Huai thought, she just regretted that she was blinded by self-interest, and because she was inexplicably sure that Zhou Huai would not hurt her, she stepped into the other party's plot, if Zhou Huai really got angry and wanted to take her away , then she may be worse than those people in the courtyard now.And she clearly knew that Wu Mingtai was scheming and knew every move of Zhou Huai and the palace, so how could she not know about Zhou Huai's discovery of the treasure?Then inaction must make a difference.She didn't realize it, and she couldn't blame others for being in such a passive situation. The princess only hoped that the matter would end here, and that Zhou Huai would leave immediately after killing people to vent her anger, so as not to cause more trouble.

"If you leave, I will show no mercy when Xiao Yu comes over later."

The eldest princess frowned: "You also led him into the secret passage?"

"After what happened last time, how can he be fooled again? He will definitely have to find out the news by himself before he can act, but he is smarter than those people. He is waiting outside the courtyard now, probably because he wants to have an oriole behind him." Zhou Huai said. With sarcasm, seeing that the eldest princess seemed unbelieving, after thinking about it, she waved her hand to cover and jam the blood-stained seal, and recalled all the people hiding outside the courtyard, and ordered them to rectify and rest in the courtyard, Only then did he raise his eyebrows with a smile at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess looked around at the too quiet surroundings, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and then at the armored soldiers guarding the courtyard with swords, and sighed softly.She counted silently in her heart, only to find that of the 200 elite guards that Wu Mingtai allocated to Zhou Huai, after the battle just now, there were less than [-] left, but all of them were tall and straight, like precious swords out of their sheaths, but Murderous and restrained.

"Sure enough, only those who are alive after the big waves washed the sand are the real elite." The eldest princess looked at the people in the courtyard. There were a few times when people who came out of the exit wanted to retreat, so a team was dispatched to stop them. The number of people killed is still one-on-one, one is not more than one is not less. If you win, you will retreat to treat the wound, and if you lose, you will throw it with the pile of corpses. Therefore, those who can hold Zhou Huai toss like this are after life and death. elite.

"As long as he gives these dead, elite waste materials, they are untrustworthy. And I'm used to struggling alone. After all, relying on others is worse than relying on myself."

The eldest princess remembered that Zhou Huai would have accidents every time she went out of the palace, so she nodded. There are indeed many people who want to kill Zhou Huai.But after thinking about the former hidden guards around Zhou Huai and the current elites, she realized that Wu Mingtai was not unable to protect Zhou Huai, but was constantly testing Zhou Huai's bottom line.But Zhou Huai wasn't willing to suffer. She didn't trust everyone, so she planned this incident and used Wu Mingtai's people to consume each other with those sent by the enemy.When the eldest princess thought of the people she brought with her in the mountain of corpses, she just said it was a pity, but when she thought that Xiao Yuruo, who was waiting outside the courtyard and wanted to be a 'fisherman', was lost here, she couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.For Xiao Yu, a once-in-a-century genius, the eldest princess who cherishes talent and is proud of her talent is not willing to destroy it in her own hands, but Zhou Huai's killings were too busy tonight, and she suddenly felt a little restless.

Zhou Huai smiled secretly as he looked at the eldest princess's restlessness.She has always had revenge, but the premise is that no one will offend me and I will not offend others.He is ruthless, but unstoppable, pays attention to keeping the front line in everything, and will not implicate the innocent, and kill them all. Although he is not open-minded, it is still different from unscrupulous.

Although the paranoia in her bones was completely intensified a few years later, and her methods became more ruthless. When she was rectifying the Northwest, she often slaughtered her family and exterminated her family, to the point of perishing those who opposed her, but now she is still a conscientious... dandy?So at this time, she didn't kill them all. Anyway, she was not afraid of those people's revenge. She just wanted to vent her anger. The main purpose was to let the eldest princess remember her or remember her that night.

However, when it comes to Prime Minister Xiao, the reborn eldest princess lost her mentality and lost her composure and forbearance in the face of the Xiao family who had the vengeance of seizing her husband and insulting her. In the end, it was really unwise to leave Xiao Yu behind.At this moment, Zhou Huai knew that Xiao Yu couldn't be killed, but he absolutely couldn't tolerate Xiao Yu, a dangerous person, staying with the eldest princess. She had already surpassed Wu Mingtai in her taboo towards him!So she didn't mind stabbing people behind her back and said to the eldest princess: "I didn't expect you to value him so much in just half a year? Then do you know what Xiao Yu's last name was before he was adopted by the Xiao family? Have you ever thought about his previous life?" Why did Prime Minister Xiao help Zhou Hao so much? And Liao Qiwei’s marriage to Zhou Hao must have been planned by Xiao Yu. If these are not enough, then I will tell you another thing. In the previous life, a few years after your death, the orphans and old ministers of the previous dynasty overthrew it After hearing this, do you still think Xiao Yu deserves to die?"
