Born short-lived

The people on the boat saw a shocking scene - the spirit ghost jumping up from the side of the boat looked like a jumping toad, it jumped up to be higher than the flagpole, and rushed towards Zhou Zirong with a grinning face. When Zhou Zirong noticed, the animal's fangs were no more than an arm's length away from him.

Almost instantly, a ray of white light wrapped in hot wind swept across, and the spirit ghost was sliced ​​across the shoulder by a knife, and at the same time was pierced through the skull by two phantoms that flew over, before even the blood burst out, and a muffled sound He hit the deck, and his body was still twitching.

Zhou Zirong's right hand, which was holding the handle of the knife, started to hurt again. The bones in his arm seemed to be cracked, and the pain even trembled with the tendons and the whole arm.He had no choice but to quickly put the knife back into its sheath as if nothing had happened, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the few drops of sticky black blood splashed on his face and the rainwater all over his face.

Everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief, Yinfeng put down the crossbow in his hand, and quickly walked towards him in three steps at a time: "Your Majesty, you are all right, you scared me to death."

Zhou Zirong twitched the corners of his mouth, shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay, just go and tell them that you won't chase after five miles."

Yinfeng wanted to ask a few more questions, but he didn't expect Zhou Zirong to put the topic aside in such a smooth manner. He stood there for a while, but still had no choice but to turn around and pass the order.

Only one sentence left: "Then be careful, my lord."

Zhou Zirong's calculations were accurate, these big bullies reacted too quickly, they turned around and left before the people from the south were completely covered.Just five miles later, they were basically out of the range of the Southeast Navy's striker, and the main ship had already turned the corner completely and ran all the way through the waves.

After all, Huaxu's boat was not as fast as others', and the siege was broken, so if he chased it deeper, he would not get any good results.

Zhou Zirong took a look at the bronze mirror and said: "Call back the troops, and the left wing will go to Beihaiguan to take a look."

Daling formed an alliance with Panyang, and Panyang was responsible for providing the seaport where Daling's navy rested and various supplies. Originally, the little emperor in Panyang was the main force to send troops to help Daling, but unfortunately, all the old officials in the court cried He rushed to stop him, saying that he would leave a way out for Panyang.

However, the loss of Da Lingren this time is not too heavy, and with Pan Yang's protection, he will definitely come back within seven days.

The rain was also strange. When they started fighting, they didn't intend to stop at all. As soon as they said that Mingjin would withdraw their troops, it actually started to fall smaller and smaller. When they entered the port, it basically cleared up.

"The rain is also against us." Yinfeng said dumbfoundedly, "If it falls a day later, they can still run away."

Zhou Zirong smiled, walked down from the light ladder, and sighed: "That can't be helped... By the way, Mr. Yinfeng, you and Miss Nongyue should stay in the palace temporarily, or the same room as before. , should have been cleaned up."

"Hey, thank you, my lord," Yin Feng followed up briskly, "Then... where is your Majesty staying?"

Zhou Zirong paused, turned his head to look at him with a strange expression, and said with a half-smile, "Live with me, too."

After finishing speaking, he continued to walk forward. For some reason, Yinfeng always felt that his steps were much lighter.

"Isn't there Yueming Palace by the Wuyou River? Why does Your Majesty live in the Palace?" Yin Feng chased after him and asked.

However, Zhou Zirong just laughed and didn't answer.

Three days later, as soon as Dong Sheng arrived in Donghai, he really left his followers and went straight to the palace by himself.

Moreover, he hadn't been informed beforehand, so everyone thought he had gone to Yueming Palace. As a result, early in the morning, the guards on duty at the gate of the palace hadn't woken up yet. The side chick pecked at the rice and felt sleepy. Dong Sheng almost walked up to him before he realized it.

"Are you on duty or are you sleeping?" Dong Sheng felt a headache when he saw such a soldier, and this was actually a soldier of Prince Beizhao's mansion, "You don't even know that your lord has been moved away later."

Dong Sheng wasn't wearing a dragon robe, but was wearing a Xuanjin robe that looked very plain and unpretentious. In addition, this mansion soldier had no discernment value, and suddenly a person came up and raised his eyebrows at him without a trace. Standing up and scolding, he was naturally annoyed in his heart, thinking that Dong Sheng was some kind of pretentious rich boy.

"Which one is your Excellency?" Fu Bing's face became stinky, and he stared.

Dong Sheng narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Guess who I am?"

This mansion soldier was obviously not intimidated. He felt that he had seen too many self-righteous people like this, so he snorted coldly with disdain: "I don't know what your name is. Come back in an hour."

"Why?"

The soldiers of the government said: "The battle has been intense these days, and the prince is busy with official duties, so it is inconvenient to receive idle guests."

Dong Sheng raised his eyebrows, and said to himself, oh, this is still a crook.

"I'm your prince's friend...cough," Dong Sheng said, "...quickly open the door for me."

The soldiers of the government didn't like this at all: "The prince has many friends, who is your friend?"

Dong Sheng almost vomited blood from his anger.

"What's the matter..." Another mansion soldier came out with his trouser belt in hand. He just heard the movement at the door and thought it was someone looking for trouble. When he came out to see the person, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, "Dian... ...See Your Majesty!"

This mansion soldier probably has been with Zhou Zirong for a longer time and has met Dong Sheng several times.

Before the other person could react, he looked at his colleague who was kneeling on the ground, and then at the "playboy" in front of him who he had just pissed off, thinking that his colleague had made a mistake, so he laughed "ha".

However, the colleague on the ground was still kneeling, and Dong Sheng looked at him indifferently.

……

The Fubing was stunned, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

A few days ago, it was indeed said that His Majesty would come to the East China Sea soon, and it was rumored that the emperor and King Beizhao had a deep relationship and a very personal relationship...

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" He suddenly felt his knees go weak.

Dong Sheng smiled and nodded: "Hey, no courtesy."

The government soldier knelt down on the ground with a "plop".

Just as Dong Sheng was about to lift his foot to enter the door, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, where are your lords at the moment?"

The mansion soldier replied: "It should... be in the bedroom."

"Yes," Dong Sheng said, "it's not allowed to pass it on. I'll go find him myself."

He is almost familiar with Prince Beizhao's mansion. He didn't know how many times he came to Zhou Zirong to play here when he was a child. Pan Shuning usually didn't wake up at this point, but Zhou Zirong always woke up earlier than a chicken.

Dong Sheng walked straight through the courtyard of the palace, and when passing by the wing, Yinfeng happened to pass by the corridor.

Yinfeng said dumbfounded: "Dong..."

Dong Sheng quickly made a silent gesture for him.

Yinfeng shut up, and silently watched Dongsheng walking cats and dogs towards Zhou Zirong's bedroom.

The sky was not yet bright, and the light in Zhou Zirong's room was still on. Dong Sheng walked carefully to the door, trying to listen to the movement inside.

Zhou Zirong's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

The current emperor, who was trying to listen to the corner of the wall, was caught straight, he quickly straightened up guiltily, and slowly opened the door: "It's me."

"Dong Sheng?" Zhou Zirong stood up from his chair all of a sudden, and walked towards him quickly, overjoyed, "You came so soon?"

"What? I'm not allowed to come?" Dong Sheng joked.

Zhou Zirong smiled and said, "Of course."

"You woke up really early..." Dong Sheng rubbed his nose, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the piles of official documents on his case, and a cup of cold tea, and then he realized—it's not just getting up early, Bacheng did not sleep.

Dong Sheng was worried and annoyed at once, and gave him a half-blaming glance, but his tone was still soft: "Why do you..."

"Hey..." Zhou Zirong sighed, leaned forward and hugged him in his arms, lowered his head and rested his chin on his shoulder like a shame - just now he was full of energy, but now his voice faded away. Limp, "I'm so tired..."

Dong Sheng felt even more uncomfortable, as if his whole heart was being held and twisted several times, he patted Zhou Zirong's back lightly: "Then you take a rest, you won't be afraid of headaches if you stay up late."

"It hurts, my head hurts to death," Zhou Zirong said pitifully, with a smile on his lips, "My head hurts, my arms hurt, my back hurts too..."

"You toad hurts wherever the bull's hooves step on it?" Dong Sheng scolded, but still patted Zhou Zirong's back lightly with his hands, "I read the battle report on the way here, and I played very well. If you are in a hurry, take a break first, and I will help you with the rest."

"Hey, how can I tire you..." Zhou Zirong tightened his arms, "Just stay with me for a while."
