Born short-lived

A fast horse ran out from the side gate of Miyagi, took a shortcut and turned into the north-south main street, passed by a row of gold and silver cloth shops, and stopped in front of the most conspicuous private house in Huajing City.

Before someone came to knock on the door, the servant of Jiang's mansion pushed open the two magnificent huanghuali wooden doors, bent over and ran over to help lead the horse.

Jiang Kun came out from the door on his heels, just as the man got off his horse, he rushed up to meet him and asked, "Your Excellency... what's going on in this palace?"

The messenger bowed to Jiang Kun, looked left and right to see if there were no outsiders nearby, then lowered his voice, and said vaguely: "Your Majesty has summoned..."

Jiang Kun hurriedly asked again: "Which palace are you called into?"

Just as the messenger was about to open his mouth, he seemed to feel it was inappropriate, so he was a little embarrassed. After all, Xuantian Pavilion is a secret of Hua Xu, and everyone should avoid it, so he faltered and used a secret word that only the palace could understand: " God in the north."

The so-called sky has nine fields, and the earth has nine states. The northern sky is called Xuantian.

Jiang Kun's eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth and stammered twice: "This...is this true?"

"really."

Jiang Kun then said: "How long has it been since you went in? ... Is there any news?"

The man pinched his fingers to calculate, and replied: "Counting the time since the villain came out, it will take half an hour... If there is news, someone will come to report."

Jiang Kun muttered something in a low voice, kept nodding his head, his fingers trembled, and suddenly said: "Then what happened in the East Palace?"

The man seemed to be remembering, he gave a soft "hiss", and shook his head: "It seems that I haven't heard anything."

"That's weird..." Jiang Kun murmured, frowning and pondering for a long time before remembering that there was someone in front of him, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you, please go back to the palace first."

"The little man bid farewell."

Looking at the back of the man driving away, Jiang Kun was originally quite happy when he heard that the prince was called into Xuantian Palace, but now the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.The Xuantian Palace is where the Xuantian Pavilion is located, but what is the Xuantian Pavilion?The past dynasties were frightened upon hearing the rumors, and acted vigorously and resolutely. Anyone who committed a crime would not be able to escape unscathed. However, there has been no change in the East Palace so far, so how could it be possible?

He made a calculation in silence, feeling even more uncertain.

That's right, why didn't he think of it before, Dong Sheng was caught by the net, but the biggest fat fish among the princelings ran away long ago.

No, that's not a fathead fish, that's a fucking tiger shark.

——Zhou Zirong has returned to the East China Sea. Once they know about the capital in the future, they will let the tiger go back to the mountain today. You must know that the 50 elite soldiers in the East China Sea have been recharging their energy for a long time.

No wonder there has been no change in the East Palace so far.

Jiang Kun's face was blank for a moment, and he stood in front of the gate of Jiang Mansion for a long time, and finally his heart broke.

He thought viciously; Zhou Zirong must never be allowed to return to the East China Sea.

In fact, half an hour ago, when Dong Sheng heard Eunuch Gao's voice, "Bring the prince to the palace for an audience", he already felt that he was probably doomed. He winked, so he asked more politely: "Elder-in-law, did your majesty say which palace he entered?"

Eunuch Gao lowered his voice and said, "Xuantian Palace."

as predicted.

Being able to go to the Xuantian Palace is either a great blessing or a great disaster. If you can become famous, you can reach the sky in one step, or you can commit a felony and never recover.

Dong Sheng had been tormenting for a whole night before, and he didn't think of any solution. In the end, maybe Mao Sai had a sudden realization, and he even realized a truth-to do one's best, and to follow one's destiny.

He has already thought about it, it's a thousand calculations, a hundred secrets and one sparseness, if this happens, it's just fate, anyway, now that Zhou Zirong is not in the capital, he has nothing to worry about.

It's nothing more than reluctance to part with this remnant life who is greedy for human kindness, and his Majesty will write down a book later, so Dong Sheng can't help but be reluctant.

"Your Highness," just as Dong Sheng was about to step over the threshold when he was about to go to Xuantian Palace according to the order, Eunuch Gao stopped him again, and hurriedly chased after him with his heavy hem up, "Your Highness, stay a step ..."

Dong Sheng turned around: "What's the matter, father-in-law?"

Eunuch Gao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over and approached cautiously, Dong Sheng saw that he seemed to have something to say that was inconvenient for others to hear, so he also lowered his head, and saw Eunuch covering his hand with his ear Meaningfully said: "Your Highness, don't contradict His Majesty in everything...Think about it, Your Highness, there is no such thing as an overnight feud between a mother and a child..."

Dong Sheng frowned and narrowed his eyes habitually.

Eunuch Gao backed away with a smile, and bowed slightly, which meant that we could only talk here, let's go on the road.

At this time, Zhou Zirong's boat had already flowed down the Wuyou River, and it was going to pass through Jingchu before sunset. The same recruits—clearly saw a sandbank in front of them, but drove this expensive ship to hit it impartially, and was very lucky to hit a hard rock, so the bottom of the boat lived up to expectations. up.

In the capital city, Dongsheng has been surrounded by a dozen Xuantian guards for an entire hour, doing nothing but surrounding them like this, and the queen has been drinking tea behind the bead curtain in the depths of Xuantian Palace, as if she didn't care at all. He takes it seriously.

So Dong Sheng knelt down under the astrolabe in the center of Xuantian Palace as if he had been judged in the Palace of Hell, and felt more and more unbelievable under the gaze of a circle of monsters and snake gods around him.

He had to admit that at first he was really frightened into a cold sweat.

But after an hour, he also realized that perhaps things could not be summed up in one word as he thought.

Finally, after another half an hour, the empress mercifully remembered her son kneeling outside, so she said casually: "A Sheng, come here."

The boat with the imperial flag on the Wuyou River sank suddenly, causing quite a commotion in the local area. If it wasn't for the timely support from the villagers on the Wuyou River, Zhou Zirong might have to take a bath in the river. Kowtowing to him with tears until his forehead was almost broken, it was as ugly as it could be, but Zhou Zirong didn't punish him, but he didn't dare to let him sail again.

They have to change ships at the nearest inner harbor wharf, and they will not be able to set off until dawn the next day at the earliest.

The accompanying guard helped him find a good inn by the river, and for dinner he went to the town to buy some Jingchu's famous fish soup and lotus root soup, which made Zhou Zirong go to the toilet eight times in one night.

Zhou Zirong was never used to staying on the road because of such mindless accidents. He couldn't tell if he was upset or uneasy, but he couldn't sleep well at night.

He felt he couldn't stay longer.

So in the early morning of that night, without waiting for the ship approved by the imperial court to arrive, he directly took his men to rent a local civilian ship, and headed straight to the East China Sea without making a sound.
