The heinous crime of time travel

The closest time Xiao Yao was to the imperial palace in his life was also separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, mixed among the soldiers, looking up from his point of view, Xiao Gusheng and Zhao Mingliang were almost at the same point.

But at that time, he was heartless, this bustling imperial city had nothing to do with him, his home was outside Xiguan, between the sky filled with yellow sand and snow.

Unexpectedly, when he came back this time, he was free, and had the opportunity to get through the brick-built city wall, along the long and boring corridor, and then was thrown in front of Zhao Mingliang.

Xiao Yao was placed on a horse to dangle, and a team of dozens of people was blocked in front of the palace gate. After Zhao Zikang's mediation, only three or two people could enter.

Xiao Yao's eyes are not very good, but he can already see clearly the nearby things. When Zhao Zikang was talking to people, he was bored and studied the casting process of the wall at close range.

Since it is the gate of the imperial palace, considering Zhao Mingliang's extravagance and lust, this is still the result of frugality.

Looking up, a silver tiger's head squeezed into view, which was as big as a carriage. It was not known what material it was made of. It had not faded or rusted after the wind and rain. On the contrary, in the dripping sunlight, the beast's eyes were sharp It seems to want to get rid of the shackles of this layer of palace walls, rushing toward the face.

And this door is even more majestic and magnificent, blood-spattered red, with several hair-thin golden threads buried on it, these golden threads are twisted into strands, and stretched up along the base of the wall, there are actually two golden dragons, with right mouths Facing the tiger's head, he was as aggressive as fighting fiercely.

It's just a door, but it looks like a chill. There are knives and axes everywhere on both sides, inside and outside, and it seems that you can enter but cannot exit.

Someone patted Xiao Yao's horse's buttocks, and he swayed leisurely. This horse is nothing more than a mortal product, he kicked his hooves uneasily, and followed Zhao Zikang slowly.

The palace is intricate and complicated, and there are very few roads to the end. Even if you can see the courtyard of the gate, you have to go around for a long time before you can walk close to the wall.

Presumably, the previous assassins were not good enough in light work, and died of exhaustion in this maze.

Xiao Yao was born in the army, although he believes that old horses know the way, but the horse under his buttocks is obviously neither a good horse nor an old horse, its calves often fight, even if it loses its strength and falls down, Xiao Yao will not feel strange.

In such worries, Zhao Zikang, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, "Here we are."

What I arrived at was neither Zhao Mingliang's residence nor the Imperial Study Room, but the "Military Aircraft Academy" that was usually used to discuss the key points of military aircraft.

The scale of the Military Aircraft Institute is considered large even in the imperial palace, and it is close to the imperial study room. Whenever there is a big movement inside, the people on the other side can clearly hear it-so before the general ministers fight, Zhao Mingliang Also in time to stop.

Now this place seems to have been useless for a long time. It is gloomy and cold. The stove looks like it was turned up temporarily.

There is a map of mountains and rivers spread out on the table in the center, but it is not perfect. Over the years, the wars have not decreased but increased, and there are many cities. This map has long been outdated, and it is covered with dust.

Xiao Yao glanced at it, and recognized how many years ago it was - the northern border was not Hujia Mountain.

He was almost kicked in by someone. The relationship between the Chief Guard of the Forbidden Army and Xiao Gusheng has always been bad, reaching the level of seeing each other and hating each other. Thank God for not lynching Xiao Yao along the way. Treat each other with courtesy.

Xiao Yao's whole body was covered tightly, and even the horse was tied to the horse's back and sat sideways, so it was basically impossible for him to kneel down. His knees were too hard, and he could easily fall face down in front of Zhao Mingliang... Must consider It's not decent to see such a holy face, so the next best thing is to let Xiao Yao lie on the ground directly.

"The humble minister kowtowed to the emperor... The minister lived up to the emperor's grace and brought the criminal Xiao Yao to justice." Of course Zhao Zikang wanted to kneel, but he was also old, and as soon as he had the tendency to squat down, Zhao Mingliang hurried up Helping him, he was still busy saying, "Why is the emperor so ignorant, come here and give me a seat."

One was lying down, the other was sitting, and only the captain of the imperial guard was kneeling. Zhao Mingliang must have forgotten to say "flat body", so he could only keep kneeling.

After Zhao Zikang settled down, the brazier was heated up again by the silent palace people, and the room skipped the transitional period of "warmth" and became inexplicably hot.

Zhao Mingliang walked in front of Xiao Yao, squatted down halfway regardless of his identity, and pulled Xiao Yao's face, always feeling a little unreal.

Such a person who can't be blocked or killed all the way, and only left a tail for tracking, was caught just like that, lying in front of him in a well-behaved manner, with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, and humming...

It seems to say "Long live the emperor, long live, long live", is it so shameless?

The skin is soft and slippery to the touch, the same as when Xiao Gusheng was a teenager. The most important thing is that the skin and the flesh and blood are seamlessly stitched together. Even the best disguise technique in the world can't do this. Zhao Mingliang □□After Xiao Yao, Only then did he sigh slightly, seeming a little melancholy, "How did you get caught?"

Xiao Yao stared wide-eyed, and there was such a contradictory person in his feelings.

"This person is an imperial convict who committed a rebellion and refused to be arrested. How should the emperor interrupt him?" Zhao Zikang asked.

The emperor's uncle, even if he is a half-hearted prince, no one dares to neglect him. The old eunuch who is close to Zhao Mingliang knows his intentions, and has prepared a set of tea, snacks and incense for Zhao Zikang according to the old rules, and he is on the sidelines Enjoying the blessing, the eyes are almost closed.

"Let's go to prison first, and be with Xiao Gusheng." Zhao Mingliang smiled involuntarily, "He's just saying that he's bored these two days and wants to find a drink."

"Your Majesty still cares about old love?" Zhao Zikang's steady voice seemed to have passed through something heavy, mixed with unknown emotions, and fell into Zhao Mingliang's ears, "Your Majesty has passed the year of destiny, so you should let go of any old love .”

"..." Zhao Mingliang was silent for a while, in the entire empty military aircraft yard, only the sound of charcoal peeling off, and Xiao Yao struggling from time to time, "Mmhhhhhhh".

"Lonely... Uncle Huang, I can sit in this seat, not to mention the old love, but I don't even have the love, and it has nothing to do with age."

Zhao Mingliang flicked his sleeves slightly, turned his back, and said again, "Get up... Escort him to the sky prison, where he will be locked up with General Xiao, Yuan Hai, take the key and follow him."

"Hey, I know." The old eunuch agreed with a low eyebrow.

The captain of the Imperial Guard took the order, so he dared to get up, picked up Xiao Yao from the ground, and went outside.

The coldness of the early spring was not very prominent at first, but the charcoal fires in the military aircraft yard were too strong, and even the guard captain with well-developed limbs couldn't help but tremble.

It's rare for him to be a man, but Xiao Gusheng made a slip of the tongue when he was drunk, saying that the imperial city is a gentle town, not like a hero in the desert. This sentence offended the entire imperial guards in the imperial city--now Xiao Gusheng is still embarrassed, If the old man is given a chance to start over, he can tear that talking mouth apart.

Xiao Yao's treatment in his hands was generally rough, and he kicked into the iron cage. Xiao Gusheng was still dozing off at this time, living a life more comfortable than a pig, slightly raising half of his eyes, when he saw Xiao Yao , thought he was dreaming.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yao babbled a few times, and found that his father was still unshakable and ready to make up for another sleep, so he didn't want to pretend anymore, and spat out the cloth in his mouth, "Father! Dad, wake up."

Xiao Gusheng's ears were itchy, and he was prone to hallucinations after being comfortable for a long time.

"Father!" Xiao Yao even shook the ropes tied around his body, and he patted Xiao Gusheng's forehead, facing those eyes that instantly became clear, and knelt on the ground with a "plop". Beside his bed, he was so spineless, "I made a mistake. I saw that my father didn't wake up. I thought you were old and frail, so I passed by accidentally."

Xiao Gusheng lay on the bed, staring at him.

"Why did you come in?" Xiao Gusheng's flat brows suddenly gathered together, he didn't have such troubles for a long time, and he couldn't get used to frowning for a while, "This is not a joke!"

"Father, does the child seem to be playing half of it?" Xiao Yao asked back.

But it's really not convincing. There are red marks pinched by Zhao Mingliang on his face, and he is smiling all over. Even if he is not here to play, he is probably some kind of "day trip to the prison".

Xiao Gusheng was afraid that he would not be able to die bravely, and would be pissed to death by his unworthy son.

"I said you, it's been a long time since you stopped wandering in front of my eyes for half a year. My hair is almost turning black. Why do you keep your head down and see you when you look up?" Xiao Gusheng sighed heavily.

Parents who haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and when they suddenly see that they won't stay for a long time, they feel that their children and grandchildren are treasures, care about the cold and warm, and those who can't speak anymore can also hold back a little bit of self.But this "blink of an eye" has turned into "getting along day and night", and I don't know when they get along for a month, two months, or even a year or two, and the fierceness is revealed in an instant.

"Father, I was in such a hurry last night, why don't I send myself to you now, let you take a good look at it?" Xiao Yao didn't know how to write brazenly, "I'm thinner and stronger, take a look again , isn't he much more handsome than when he left home?"

"..." Even if Xiao Gusheng saw something different, he didn't want to waste his saliva with Xiao Yao.

"This child seems to have grown taller again," Xiao Gusheng thought, "Will eighteen or nineteen-year-old children still grow taller?"

In addition, the outline has also begun to appear, unlike the previous one with a steamed bun, because it looks like Wang Shixue, so it is not as sharp as my own facial features, but it still looks soft like before, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, high-spirited ——It seems to be pretty.

Xiao Gusheng was actually a little proud.
