moonlit night

Xiao Ziyuan was still immersed in his own thoughts, his mind was full of shark beads that he had seen in the mansions of princely uncles when he was still a cheap prince in the imperial capital.Those beads are all crystal clear, and they were bought by someone who spent thousands of dollars to put them in the bedroom. Even if you don't use the ice basin in the hot summer, you will feel the fragrance of the cold, very cool.

I heard one of his imperial brothers who is good at eating, drinking and playing, muttering that those shark beads are not the best, if anyone can get the eyeballs of the shark royal family and make them into jewelry, he will live a long life. Prolong life and prolong life.

Although Xiao Ziyuan thought it was cruel at that time, but because he was instilled with a lot of ideas of the weak and the strong since he was a child, and because he thought those shark beads were really beautiful, he put aside the concept of right and wrong, and even begged the emperor to get him royal family shark beads Come and play with it.

Now that I think about it, it's fortunate that his imperial brother didn't have such great powers, otherwise he would have scolded himself as a brat in his heart.

At this moment, someone unceremoniously slapped Xiao Ziyuan's hand away and pushed him aside.Xiao Ziyuan didn't pay attention, and was pushed down to the ground. He grinned and grinned, but he could only watch the instigator Nongyu step forward, and said softly, "Your Highness, it's all the slave's fault. As soon as I heard this person said that there is a way to help you, I brought them here without prior notice, and now it seems that it is useless, so I will drive them away now."

Her enunciation deliberately emphasized on the word "person". Unexpectedly, the other party just glanced at her lightly, without comment, then turned around and walked towards the hall, apparently ignoring her completely.

When Xiao Ziyuan listened to Xiami's story before, he thought that His Highness was an infatuated seed, but he didn't expect his temper to be so cold. It seems that it is impossible to find a breakthrough from him, and he has to think long-term.

But things like turnarounds often come unexpectedly.

Just when Nongyu was about to "invite" them out, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door of the spring room:

"Shu, Empress Hai asked me to come over and ask, how are you preparing for the Dragon God's birthday?"

Yo, isn't that the voice of that crab monster?

As soon as Xiao Ziyuan heard this sound, the memory of his arm being almost cut off by the iron tongs was awakened in an instant. He subconsciously wanted to run, but the remaining rationality still kept him in place.

He couldn't run away, let's not talk about the maid's attire that got in the way, even his ineffective cultivation was not enough to look good in front of others.

Just when Xiao Ziyuan was burning with anxiety, the Highness who had already walked away turned back, he waved at Nongyu, motioning her to take them in, and then made a few gestures at the oncoming General Ao.

Nongyu understood, and hurriedly took Qu Lanshan's hand, and swam to the water plant house where the maid lived in the spring room. Xiao Ziyuan lowered his head and followed. During the period, he took a peek back and found that this time the iron-clamp warrior turned into a human form. here.

Yo, it turns out that the crab monster looks decent in human form.He seemed to have specially dressed up, his previously messy beard and hair were trimmed neatly, the terrifying iron tongs were put away, and a bright red coral flower was inserted on his chest.

Xiao Ziyuan didn't agree with this man's taste, but he was very curious about his motives for dressing himself up, but right now he couldn't speak, he could only hold back, which made Xiao Huaba feel worse than death, very uncomfortable.

Even so, the ascetic's sensitive ears helped him quickly catch the conversation that followed.

"You...you mean, go in and talk?" The crab spirit seemed a little flattered, and said no matter how many times he said: "This is really... Actually, it's okay, um, it's better to be respectful than obey your orders."

After that, the two of them seemed to go in together, but from the beginning to the end, Xiao Ziyuan never heard the voice of that highness.

After finally following Nongyu into the room, Xiao Ziyuan was full of questions, but he didn't know which one to ask first, but Qu Lanshan spoke first.

She said a little shyly: "Sister Nongyu, we are not bad people, but after traveling so far, my brother's sword was unfortunately snatched by that General Ao, so we had to stay here."

"He's your senior brother?" Nongyu looked at this and that, shook his head and said, "It's not like that."

Having said that, she seemed to like Qu Lanshan very much, so she couldn't help but softly said: "Little girl, this place is not friendly to the human race, you should leave quickly. The water here is too deep, and the two of you are not yet cultivated." Shallow, even if there is water-repelling pill, if you stay for a long time, you will not be able to stand it."

It turned out that she had already seen that the two had cultivation bases close to each other, and it was just a test if she didn't mention it before.

Seeing that she had made her words so clear, Xiao Ziyuan stopped circling around and said directly: "The Shui and Human races have been living in peace for thousands of years, and it has always been the case that well water does not interfere with river water, but why is there such a commotion now? Is there someone who has too much desire? , It’s not enough to make waves on the top, have you already put your hands under the water?”

"It's not stupid to think of you," Nongyu glanced at him, "Now that you understand, don't you hurry up?"

"No way," Xiao Ziyuan said with a sad face: "I promised to help you and your highness cure lovesickness, how can you leave if you are not cured? Isn't this breaking your promise?"

Seeing that he started talking nonsense again, Nongyu immediately lowered her face and said, "Boy, these are beyond your control."

Xiao Ziyuan said shamelessly: "You don't tell me what's going on, how do you know we can take care of it? Even if I can't, there is still my junior sister, she is very powerful, right Lanshan?"

"I..." Qu Lanshan blushed, and whispered, "Brother Xiao, I really can't cure you."

Nongyu laughed, and his gaze towards Qu Lanshan suddenly became extremely far away, revealing a look of nostalgia: "A long time ago, us mermaids could float on the surface of the sea on the night of the full moon. At that time, only In some sporadic villages, the fishermen are very kind. Those of us with higher cultivation bases can also temporarily transform into legs and hang out with the fishermen's children.

"But later, your royal family got some news from nowhere, and began to hunt and kill in the sea unrestrainedly. They selected young men with good water skills from various fishing villages, who grew up fighting against waves, and incorporated them into the unified training of the royal guards. , and then went to sea specifically for the royal family to capture our people.

"Many tribesmen suffered disasters. Fish, old turtles, and countless shrimps and crabs were all caught by them. Soon, most of the compatriots in the sea were lost. We never dared to go ashore again, and even hid We entered the deep seabed, hoping to escape, but they still refused to let us go. Some people made water-repelling beads, which can be used to dive into the deep sea. They pushed to such a point, we had to stand up and resist, fortunately Blessed by the Dragon God, the Empress of the Sea descended to the bottom of the sea, and gave some people the ability to fight against the human race, and they established a solid barrier in this water area, which allowed us to retreat to the bottom of the sea and temporarily get a chance to recuperate."

Hearing this, Xiao Ziyuan couldn't help interjecting: "But why did the human race suddenly do this? Did something they want suddenly appear on the bottom of the sea?"

If not, why catch so many fish and crabs, just kidding, not everyone likes to eat seafood.

But as soon as he spoke, he felt that he shouldn't have said that. It was too much like human beings sent to spy on information, so he hurriedly remedied: "We are not with them. Those people have committed serious crimes. They are really not good things. Damn them!" .”

Nongyu said coldly: "Damn it indeed, but those royals who really deserved to be damned stayed on the shore like cowards. If they didn't go to the sea, the empress of the sea thought of a way, hoping to send warriors ashore to kill those who would only hide behind others. Rats."

Xiao Ziyuan, the little prince who was scolded repeatedly, was as broad-minded as the sea, and didn't care about these details, and continued to ask curiously: "So, sister Nongyu, are you also the candidate to go ashore and assassinate?"

"That's right, I sneaked into the palace pretending to be a singer, trying to take the life of the tortoise emperor." Nongyu said with a hint of disappointment in his voice: "I didn't succeed, but I was rescued by a human. He put me back in the sea. But he was severely punished, and I don’t know what happened in the end, his hands were probably crippled, and he could no longer play the piano.”

Qu Lanshan looked at her hands subconsciously, they were soft and clean, slender and slender.

They all know how important a pair of hands is to a luthier.

Nongyu lowered her eyes: "That's how it happened. From then on, I never wanted to go ashore again, and I only wanted to serve His Highness wholeheartedly. Your Highness Shu, he is different from other clansmen. He thinks that killing to stop killing will not be the final solution." , If one person is killed, there will be new ones to make up for it. To break the current deadlock, the only way to fundamentally reverse the thinking of the human race is, he hopes that both sides can take a step back, so he wants to negotiate with the human race."

"Good opinion," Xiao Ziyuan gave a thumbs up, but then said dejectedly: "But from the current point of view, it seems that it didn't succeed in the end?"

"Although Your Highness has the spiritual power favored by the dragon god, and the spiritual power is superb, he will become the No. , when General Ao brought His Highness back from the palace, he..." She said, her eye circles were a little red, "In short, no matter what, humans are not welcome here, you should leave quickly."

Although Xiao Ziyuan had been thinking about the Merman's tears for so long, but seeing the beauty shed tears, his heart was still tight, and he comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry, although it's a bit cruel, but I still have a question, I heard it here before, Shuhe once fell in love with someone, was that person the one who betrayed your highness? Since he deserves your highness to treat him wholeheartedly, he shouldn't be a bad person, right? No matter how young he is, he doesn't have the ability to judge people .”

"Your Highness didn't say a word when he came back, but I heard from General Ao that that person is a member of the Royal Guard," Nongyu said calmly, "They are a nest of snakes and rats, and there is no good thing. Who is talking there and saying that His Highness is in love with him If I knew, I would cut off his tongue."

Shocked, Xiao Ziyuan hurriedly prayed for Brother Xia, and muttered in a low voice: "But your highness is still running out after this, I heard what General Crab said before, and it doesn't seem like he is thinking about it, will there be any hidden secrets?" ?”
