Born short-lived

Early the next morning, a little eunuch came to deliver breakfast to Dong Sheng.This little eunuch is very unfamiliar and has never been to the East Palace before.Although Dong Sheng has a rough heart, he grew up in the army and is used to being surrounded by people he knows. Suddenly, he suddenly appears strange, and he will inevitably feel a little awkward.

He squinted at the little eunuch, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Hey, why is it you? I haven't seen it before."

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, then smiled all over his face, and said flatteringly: "The slave is just a servant, there are so many servants in the palace, it's impossible for all of them to fall into His Highness's eyes."

Dong Sheng sat by the desk, raised his eyelids and glanced at him, pointed to the table with his chin; "Let's put it here, hurry up and go."

The little eunuch hurriedly delivered the breakfast.

Dong Sheng flipped through the book in his hand, and saw that the breakfast was put down from the corner of his eye, he hummed without raising his head, indicating that he could leave.However, after waiting for a long time, the little eunuch was still mumbling there.

Dong Sheng became impatient, and put the book in his hand with a slap, with a hint of annoyance in his tone: "Stop talking, back down."

The little eunuch seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally said hesitantly: "That...His Royal Highness invited you to Liushang Terrace, and said yes, I want you to bring the deceased lord with you..."

Dong Sheng paused for a while, thought about it in his heart, and then said foolishly: "He's not here."

The little eunuch wondered, "Where did the deceased go?"

Dong Sheng annoyed him, gave him a hard look, and scolded: "You want to take care of it? Get out!"

The little eunuch was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, hesitated back and forth for a while, but still bit the bullet and said: "Then... what about Mr. Jiazi?"

Dong Sheng helped his forehead, thinking that it was bad luck that everything could come to him, he didn't bother to answer him directly, he slapped the table and shouted: "Get out!"

The little eunuch didn't dare to say anything more after hearing this, and quickly closed his mouth cautiously, and hastily wiped the soles of his feet with oil and retreated.

Dong Sheng glanced at the breakfast, and suddenly felt very unappetizing. He didn't even have the appetite to swallow the plate full of delicacies, and sighed as if he couldn't stand it.Bringing the plate over, I hurriedly took two bites to fill my stomach, and I couldn't eat another bite.

When people feel tense in their hearts, they always see things that don't please their eyes. Dongsheng's greatest hope is that the past life and Jiazi can come back to report the situation to him as soon as possible, and tell him that everything is fine.

Zhang Lunian is already on his way to Beijing. Kunzhou is almost adjacent to Huajing, with only a section of countryside in between. If there is no accident, he will arrive at his post within three days.

But it is not the wish of the day.

On the third day, there was no news of Zhang Lunian's arrival in Kunzhou. The Zhang family's female family was covered in blood and rushed to the door of Shenwu Gate in disgrace. Before the imperial guards arrived, they fainted on the ground.

At first, I thought it was a refugee from somewhere, but after checking my identity, I found out that Zhang's family had escaped.

The family members of the officials assigned by the imperial court fled all the way back to Beijing to ask for help. They were still covered in blood and looked like they were being hunted down. There was an uproar all of a sudden, and the shocking news spread throughout the entire imperial court within a short time. In the city, the rumors became more and more outrageous, which directly alarmed the empress who was still in the harem.

Dong Sheng also soon found out about the news, and his heart skipped a beat. All the questions he had been struggling with a few days ago were blown away like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves—he understood everything in an instant.Dong Sheng only felt his scalp tingle, and his head hurt like it was about to explode—he suddenly remembered that little eunuch... reincarnated?What about Jiazi?

He found that his hands were starting to tremble a little.

It's really ridiculous that the hands that have been holding spears and soaked in blood for so many years will be so frightened and shake like this in this pampered East Palace.

He forced himself to calm down, quickly recalled the past life, and then called out Yun Xiao who had been shelved for a long time.

Dong Sheng stared at him darkly, his lips trembling uncontrollably: "You...you go to Kunzhou..."

Yun Xiao didn't react for a while, and asked in bewilderment: "Where?"

Dong Sheng shook his head vigorously again, his eyes didn't know where to look, and he said to himself nervously: "No, you can't go to Kunzhou...you..."

Yun Xiao looked at him without knowing why, and a bad feeling spread in his heart like poison.Yun Xiao had never seen Dong Sheng look like this. Although the little prince was a fledgling, he was always open-minded and could withstand the sky falling.

How big of a deal could it be to force him like this?

Yun Xiao shuddered in his heart, lowered his voice and asked him: "What's the matter?"

Dong Sheng paced back and forth in the room for a few times, looking for a chair to sit down with sullen head, just as soon as his butt touched the stool, he jumped up suddenly as if he had been scalded, and hurriedly dragged Yun Xiao over, saying The words went out in a series of words almost without stopping: "When the past life and Jiazi come back, tell them not to go anywhere. You can find someone to go to Kunzhou and find someone you can trust. I remember that Zhou Zirong stayed in Huajing. You have recruited some people, try to contact them, and ask them to find along the road, which is the road Zhang Lunian went to Kunzhou to take office, whether it is dead or alive, let me find Zhang Lunian..."

Before he finished speaking, he denied it himself, saying: "No, don't look for Zhang Lunian, it's useless to look for him..."

Dong Sheng's eyelids drooped, his pitch-black eyeballs rolled for a moment, and he suddenly raised his eyes again and said: "Look for his son, I remember that this old boy has a younger son who is only five years old, I must find him!"

Yun Xiao was a little dazed by his nonsense, frowned and said, "No... I said Your Highness, what are you doing?"?

There was already a thin layer of sweat on Dong Sheng's forehead. He didn't have the extra effort to explain to Yun Xiao, and said bluntly: "Don't ask, just do it. Come back as soon as the matter is ordered, and absolutely don't go far."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound outside the door, followed by the eunuch's high-pitched and sharp yelling: "Your Majesty summoned the prince—"

Dong Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this should come or not.

He straightened his collar and tidied up the expression on his face. It took him a long time to clean his pale face before he regained some blood.Dong Sheng let out a long breath, and finally told Yun Xiao before leaving: "In case...things change, tell Zhou Zirong that he must not return to Beijing early unless the Queen calls him. If you ask him, let him Said he didn't know anything."

Seeing his posture of rustling wind and cold water, Yun Xiao felt startled and wondered, "What the hell..."

Dong Sheng didn't give him a chance to finish speaking, put one hand on his shoulder, and then walked away without looking back.

From the East Palace to the Jinluan Hall, you have to pass through the Imperial Garden. When Dong Sheng hurried past the pool of the Imperial Garden with a serious face, he bumped into Jiang Kun as expected.

Jiang Kun smiled kindly at him, and his originally tough face was full of flesh.Dong Sheng didn't want to see him in the first place, but when he saw him smiling at him like this again today, a feeling of nausea almost surged up from his stomach.

He tried his best to maintain his composure, and returned a smirk to Jiang Kun.

Jiang Kunli said: "The humble minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

What is a weasel greeting a chicken?

Dong Sheng said with a fake smile: "Master Shoufu is really too polite."

After speaking, the expression on his face also gradually cooled down, his cold eyes stared straight at Jiang Kun, he was silent for a while, and then he walked away again.

Jiang Kun looked at his back, and the corner of his mouth curled up in an inexplicable arc.

Sea

In the middle of the night, Zhou Zirong led a group of naval ships, using the briskness of the small naval ships, to sneak around behind the group of pirates without anyone noticing.

He watched with the bronze telescope for a while, and said to Luo Chi beside him, "Release the gray pigeon."

Luo Chi's eyes lit up, and he tentatively asked cautiously, "Let me go?"

"Correct."

Wherever the gray pigeon hovers, you can overlook the whole picture, and these pictures will be transmitted to the person who released the gray pigeon through Bai Jing's spiritual induction.

Excitedly, Luo Chi took out a white crystal lens from his pocket and put it on his face, and groped to open a metal box next to him. There were five almost identical gray pigeons lying quietly in the box.

The Gray Pigeon's belly was full of psionic devices, and it was only covered with a layer of imitation fur. It looked the same as a live Gray Pigeon, but it was still hard to hold in the hand.

Luo Chi released all five of them in one breath, and silently touched his black lacquered and golden bow. As soon as the cold touch entered his palm, he began to adjust his breathing unconsciously. Come.

Only at such times can Luo Chi be so focused and quiet.He closed his eyes, half-drawn his bow, and a phantom-like spiritual arrow protruded from his ring, resting on the string very lightly, quietly waiting for the gray pigeons to fly above the pirate fleet .

He held his breath and asked in a low voice without moving his lips, "General, who are you hitting?"

Zhou Zirong said succinctly and clearly: "To capture the thief, first capture the king."

The pirates are different from the regular army. They seem to be in harmony with each other. They don't have such a clear hierarchical relationship. Without a commanding officer, they can't be replaced as quickly as the regular army.

Luo Chi only opened one pair of glasses with white crystal lenses, staring intently at it, almost without blinking.He didn't say a word, didn't move, just waited quietly for almost half a stick of incense, Zhou Zirong didn't urge him, and let him look for it slowly.

Finally, Zhou Zirong felt a light and sharp wind sweeping past his ears, followed by four or five arrows coming out one after another.

After shooting the last arrow, Luo Chi squinted his eyes and looked into the white crystal lens for a while, and then said with a smile on his face, "One in a boat, one is not left alive, isn't it amazing?"

Zhou Zirong smiled calmly, stretched out a big hand, rubbed the top of his head very unkindly, and praised lightly: "Not bad."

In the middle of the night, the lights are dark, and even if you stand on the bow of the pirate ship, you may not be able to see the stern clearly, let alone the phantom spirit arrow.In their eyes, it was the boss of their ship who died suddenly and inexplicably.

The consequences can be imagined.

Some of the pirate ships wanted to turn around hastily, while others stood still. The commotion was so loud that it faintly spread to Zhou Zirong and the others.

Zhou Zirong let them hang out for a while, guessing that it should be almost done, so he said to the herald officer: "Go around."
