Born short-lived

The face of the "jailor" is extremely featureless. If it was just a chance encounter, Dong Sheng would not be able to remember it.And since he is Zhou Zirong's person, and he can gain Zhou Zirong's trust to come to him—Dong Sheng thought about it, and he had some ideas in his mind.

"Who is your Excellency?"

The "Jailor" didn't answer his question, but asked in a nonchalant manner: "The visitor will not be able to come tomorrow, what is your Highness's homework?"

Tomorrow is not a day for visits, and no one has said they want to see him.

Dong Sheng thought for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly: "Then you send a message to Dong Gong, saying that there is nothing wrong with you, don't worry."

In the East Palace, there are only a few Tiangang Lingwu left, and the implication is easy to understand.

The "Jailor" nodded, and stood up expressionlessly: "The little one retreats first, and I hope His Highness will take care of you."

Intentionally or unintentionally, he bit the last four words hard, without any fluctuation in the expression on his face, and quietly backed out.

It was not until he walked out that Dong Sheng searched in his mind for a long time before he suddenly remembered a vague name - Yuan Li.

The corner of his mouth raised up unconsciously, but then collapsed again, a stone was unknowingly hanging in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking, could it be that Zhou Zirong didn't receive it and told him not to return early? A letter from Beijing?

Dong Sheng was drumming in his heart, and comforted himself in a self-deceiving way, thinking that Zhou Zirong had always been prudent, so he probably wouldn't just come back so rashly.

But for some reason, deep down in his heart, he was faintly excited by the thought of "Zhou Zirong returning to Beijing hastily for him".

He kept telling himself that this was wrong, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of the weird thoughts that were haunting him. The bad idea slipped out again, bouncing up even more jubilantly.

And he thought, Zhou Zirong probably didn't come back in person, but just asked his cronies to come over to help.

After all, Zhou Zirong absolutely can't return to Beijing ahead of schedule, and now the empress is angry, if there is no evidence, saying anything is contradicting, and if it goes too far, it will be forcing the palace.After all, Dong Sheng himself is the crown prince, the eldest son of the empress, as long as he is not a blatant treason, the empress will never kill him—but Zhou Zirong is not necessarily so.

Dong Sheng finally calmed down his mood for a few days, but suddenly became uneasy again, even his numb waist and legs began to feel the biting chill, forcing him to go out immediately.

The Huaxu people fought among themselves, and the joke had already reached the ears of the Daling people.Originally, Wendell had been sluggish for a long time because of the First World War in Nanyang, but as soon as he heard that Prince Hua Xu had his mother locked up, he immediately turned upside down like a chicken blood.

The old man was busy going around for several days, and finally found time to meet his son.This old bastard doesn't regard himself as a human being, nor does he treat others as human beings. Early in the morning, before dawn, Garley was fished out of the bed, and it was said that His Majesty the King was in Fontainebleau. Meet him in the garden.

It's not because of the urgency, it's just that Wendell suddenly remembered and felt uncomfortable.

When Gale went there, he only brought Jer with him, not because he was afraid of any danger, but because he was simply used to it. Without such a cold and big man by his side, he always felt that something was missing.

Wendell was old and strong, he didn't go to bed until midnight, and woke up before dawn, but he was still full of energy, and he was waiting for him in the Fontainebleau Garden with refreshments early.

Garley said good morning to him, and sat down on the chair opposite Wendell.

Wendell didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. After Galei took his seat, he smiled and said to Jere: "You are not needed here, you should step back first."

Gale was slightly taken aback, and the king had long been used to having such a follower by his side, and would rarely shy away from him, unless it was something extremely important.

Moreover, there were indeed no guards with the king, only a few maids, and after Wendell noticed his hesitation, he waved these maids away.

Galei turned his head and said softly to Jere, "Let's go back first."

Jieer in silver armor bowed his head and stepped back without hesitation.

"Do you know about Hua Xu?"

Wendell saw that Geer had withdrawn, so he asked straight to the point.

Galei nodded, and took a sip of the black tea in the porcelain cup: "I heard, what's the matter? Father has an idea?"

Wendell smiled and asked very implicitly: "Do you have any?"

Garley paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Father is really thinking about Hua Xu's one-third of an acre, so much that he almost loses track of food and drink, and even talks like the Hua Xu people. Their prince was kissed." Mother is locked in a big prison, the court must be in chaos, and Donghai will never let it go, this kind of time is really suitable for us to take advantage of it."

Wendell smiled without saying a word.

Jia Lei continued: "But, has the father ever thought that this might be a trap? Maybe they want to hurt us again before we fully recover?"

"Huaxu people have a saying that once you pass this village, there will be no such shop." Wendell looked at ease, and tapped his finger on the table twice, "We have to seize the opportunity, but we can't let us do it ourselves. Go catch it, it's too risky, you will be burned by Hua Xu."

Galley raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Then what do you mean?"

Wendell laughed twice, dipped some coffee with a small spoon, sketched a map of Huaxu on the table, and then pointed to its north side: "There is Sha'an to the north of Huaxu, maybe they are more mature than us." impatient."

Although Sha'an and Hua Xu are allies at the moment, they have always been double-faced for thousands of years. Turning faces is faster than turning a book. Now that Hua Xu has lit a fire in his backyard, it is impossible for the old man in the Sha'an palace to return Can sit still.

Galei smiled and said, "I understand, I will arrange for a reliable person to go to Shaan's place tomorrow."

Wendell nodded, and added: "But try to keep a low profile."?

"I understand." Galley replied, "If there is nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Wait," Wendell called to Garley, who was about to get up, "what are you in a hurry for?"

Gale can't say that he wants to go back to Jayer and see what he thinks.Ever since Jieer's father "sacrificed his life for the country", he has been worried that the negative impact on Jieer will be too great to be controlled by him, so he basically takes that person with him from morning to night, In the past, he was more inseparable, and asked him to help whenever something happened, hoping that he could gradually forget the grief of losing his father.

Gale was about to speak perfunctorily, but Wendell interrupted with a half-smile: "Want to find Knight Jayer?"

"Father," Galei calmed down, and suppressed the guilty conscience of being inhumane, "I think Knight Jayer is a very suitable candidate."

Wendell's face darkened for a while, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't let him know about this."

Without even thinking about it, Gale retorted, "Why?"

Wendell had a strange look on his face, and said again: "Not just this time, in the future, don't tell him if you think of such confidential matters, and I am also considering changing you to a guard."

Gale was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, a surge of anger rushed into his head, which made him unable to help raising his voice and challenged his father: "Why did you suddenly remember this again? Who told you again? Speak ill of Jer?"

Wendell gave him a deep look, and said with a sigh: "His father was killed innocently, do you think he doesn't care at all? You can trust this kind of person, but I can't."

Gale laughed angrily, and suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was really unreasonable.He and Jere grew up together, and Jere was the most loyal knight around him. In the past, Wendell had always encouraged him to use Jere, and even praised his little knight for being brave and stable.

Why did you suddenly turn around?And it's not because of what Jieer himself did wrong, but because of Wendell's self-inflicted "worries"?

"You can't do that." Galley gritted his teeth.

"I'm not discussing with you." Wendell straightened his clothes and stood up slowly. "I'll give you a month to settle him down. Don't force me to do this instead of you."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Galley nestled in the chair, rubbing his hair irritably, his face became more and more gloomy.

When Zhou Zirong came back, because he didn't have to bring the bulky main boat, he boarded several times faster than when he went. He adjusted the bow the night before, and he could faintly see the outline of Yanhaiguan the next morning.

But Zhou Zirong didn't plan to go through Yanguan.

Yanhai Customs is a fortress, one card and one release, how could they get through with a fleet full of ships and soldiers, and in the entire East China Sea, who doesn't know Zhou Zirong? ?

After thinking for a while, he turned the bow and headed to the north of Yanhai Customs—the Beizhao Prince's Mansion opened a private trading port in the northernmost part of Shenzhou. He usually earns some subsidies and can also serve as their secret port in emergencies.

Of course Zhou Zirong would not be so stupid as to swagger straight into the Shenwu Gate, and then tell the Queen that you bet on my brother and I will never end with you.Zhou Zirong has been settled in the Panyang Mission, as long as there are no mistakes after entering Beijing, he will be unnoticed.

He secretly sneaked back to the palace overnight, took a few privately cultivated secret guards like Yuan Li, disguised himself, and rode straight into the capital on horseback.

Its speed is simply amazing. From the time he decided to return to Beijing, it took less than two days. Several horses ran to death along the way, and he was afraid that he would be too late.

Before he entered Beijing, he sent a letter to Yuan Li, and then entered the city through Zhuquemen as promised.

Zhou Zirong pretended to be a peddler selling sea shells, and wandered around the door of Suzaku for several hours before finally waiting for the person who came to meet him.
