On the official road, a group of people and horses were walking forward in the setting sun. At the front was a handsome young man in a blue brocade robe with a paper fan pinned to his waist, followed by twenty soldiers in armor.Followed by a carriage, the driver is a man and a woman, the man is also wearing armor, the woman is wearing a turquoise robe, with two braids.

"Qinglian, you seem to be in a good mood."

"This is the first time I've come out since I entered the palace." Qinglian breathed in the air full of the smell of field soil. "It's such a nostalgic smell."

"I didn't expect that the team escorting His Highness to the Demon Kingdom would be so simple." Yu Hao looked at the people walking in front, "It doesn't look like a prince traveling at all, it's not as good as our county magistrate's formation when he travels."

"There is no other way to do this." Having said that, Qinglian sighed, "Stop talking, so as not to make His Highness feel sad."

"I don't know if His Highness is awake." Yu Hao pointed to the closed curtain behind him, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

"No, there's no harm in resting a little longer, just wait until the station and wake him up."

In the carriage, Xuan woke up early, leaning on the soft bed.The decoration inside the car is completely different from the outside. The pure white mink fur blanket, the incense burner made of pure gold, and the tea set made of jade all show luxury.

Holding a picture scroll in his hand, Xuan carefully looked at the woman painted on it. The face on the scroll was [-]% similar to his own, and there was nothing strange about her appearance. No wonder Emperor Jing mistook her for a human being.Elegant, the mother of this body turned out to be a demon.

Eighteen years ago, Jingdi An Yixuan, who had just inherited the throne, went to Yecheng near Yu'an to search, and happened to meet a woman.The woman called herself Piao Yi, and she came from the country of Yue.The two have mutual affection for each other and look forward to staying together for a lifetime.When Emperor Jing was about to return to the court, he revealed the identity of the emperor to Piao Yi.At that time, Piao Yi didn't have any weird reaction, but it disappeared the next day and never appeared again.Emperor Jing searched in many ways but failed, and even sent people to the hometown of Piao Yi to search, only to find that everything Piao Yi told her was a lie, and there was no such person as Piao Yi in the town.

Elegance is like a mystery, which has become a secret in Emperor Jing's heart.However, three years later, Emperor Jing got news of this woman again.One night, Biyun, the maid who followed Piao Yi three years ago, sneaked into Emperor Jing's bedroom, bringing a two-year-old boy with her.Biyun told Emperor Jing that this child was born to Emperor Jing by Piaoyi.

Humans and monsters have always been incompatible existences. In the human race, all monsters must be punished.If Emperor Jing was just an ordinary citizen, they might still be together and live in seclusion in the mountains.But he is the emperor, the one who attracts everyone's attention, the two of them can't be together at all, so Piao Yi left.

Biyun told Emperor Jing that Piaoyi had been staying in Anguo for the past two years, but now he has returned to Yaoguo.However, Piaoyi couldn't take the child to the Yao Kingdom, so she sent the child to Emperor Jing, hoping that he would remember the past love and take good care of the two children.

The offspring of humans and demons will have different appearances due to the confusion of bloodlines. Some will be like humans, some will be more like demons, and some will combine the characteristics of humans and demons.When he was young, his appearance would change. For example, he looked like a human at first, but suddenly turned into a demon.Because demons have a relatively long lifespan, their childhood refers to the stage from birth to 15 years old.It was for this reason that although An Yi's appearance was more human-like when he was born, in order to prevent changes from happening, Emperor Jing grounded him in Jinghu Garden.All of this is to conceal the identity of An Yi Yao.It just so happened that An Yi was born with a bad heart, weak and sickly, and the confinement seemed normal, no one doubted Emperor Jing's intentions at all.

As for the neglect of An Yi, it was entirely because Emperor Jing didn't want other people's eyes to fall on An Yi. The more attention he paid, the greater the possibility of his secret being exposed.Therefore, even though he liked this son very much, he had to stay away for his safety.

When Xuan heard this from Emperor Jing, besides being a little surprised, he also had doubts. He always felt that the whole thing was a little weird, but he couldn't say it was weird.

Years have passed, Emperor Jing still can't forget Piao Yi, so this time, the news he asked An Yi to inquire about after he went to Yao Kingdom was actually Piao Yi's whereabouts.

The seemingly simple marriage hides too many things, Xuan closed the picture scroll, leaned against the car with eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Outside the car, it was already dark. The convoy reached a forest. The third prince who took the lead stopped the horse and said, "Wait a minute."

The sound of horseshoes came from the woods. There were about ten horses at a very fast speed. Almost at the same time as the sound was heard, a dozen men in black rushed out of the woods.

"Protect the carriage." There was no time to think about what was going on, the other party was obviously coming towards them, An Chen shouted, and the guards behind him immediately surrounded the carriage Xuan was riding in.

"Qinglian, get in the carriage." Yu Hao pulled out his sword and pulled Qinglian behind him.

"Brother Yu!" Qing Lian's face turned pale from fright, and her voice trembled slightly, "Be careful."

Lifting the curtain, Qinglian got into the carriage, Xuan also noticed something strange inside, the carriage stopped suddenly, and seemed to hear the sound of drawing a knife, and was about to go out to see what happened, when Qinglian came in.

"Your Highness."

"Qinglian, what happened outside?"

"Your Highness, we have encountered bandits."

bandit?This is the official way, how could there be bandits?

"Who is coming, this is the official team, get out of the way quickly." Outside the car, An Chen stood at the front of the line and shouted to the people coming.

The men in black stood apart in a row, confronting the royal troops. The man in the middle seemed to be the leader. Instead of wearing a black scarf around his face, he wore a delicate silver mask to cover his face. the top half.

The man glanced at An Chen, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Do it, don't leave anyone alive."

The fifteen people behind the silver-masked man rushed towards the convoy guarded by An Chen at the same time.

An Chen's eyes flickered, and he shouted to charge. He took the lead and rushed up with the guards behind him. The swords and swords intersected, and the two sides fought together.

Although the number of people responsible for escorting the fifth prince this time was small, they were all carefully selected. With one against a hundred masters, and the opponent's number was smaller than his own, An Chen thought that these lunatics would be dealt with soon.But……

The opponent is not an ordinary enemy, everyone's strength is not inferior to one's own, and 15 people are forced to retreat by [-] people. Moreover, the leader of the opponent has not yet made a move. Where did these people come from?

His mind was spinning rapidly, and when he lost his concentration, his hand was slashed by the enemy.

"Master, you are injured." The guard next to him rushed up.

"It's okay, a small injury." An Chen frowned, "Everyone must stand up for me, and don't let the other party hurt the people in the carriage."

"Yes!" the crowd shouted.

Outside the battle circle, the silver-masked man watched everything calmly, and persisted for such a long time, the third prince of Anguo was stronger than expected.However, solving them is only a matter of time.

At this moment, something happened to the carriage surrounded in the center, the curtain was lifted, and a white figure got out of the carriage, standing quietly On the carriage, because the distance was too far, it was impossible to see the man's face clearly.

"Yi, get in the carriage quickly, it's dangerous outside." An Chen found that Xuan had gotten out of the carriage, turned his horse around quickly, and came to his side.

"You're injured." Xuan's eyes fell on An Chen's blood-stained sleeves, "The opponent is very strong."

"Don't worry, I won't let them succeed." An Chen turned his horse and charged into the battlefield again.

"Hey, I really miss my old body. Now, I can't do anything." Xuan's mouth twitched, and he muttered in a low voice.

"Well, that's the goal this time." The silver-masked man's eyes lit up, "Fifth Prince of Anguo, your time of death has arrived."

With a long roar, the dismounted bay red horse quickly rushed into the battle circle, and went straight to the man in white on the carriage.

The silver sword glowed coldly under the moonlight, and there were guards around who wanted to stop it, but they were seriously injured by the sword.

Xuan just stood there, didn't seem to retreat, watching the silver-faced man in black rushing towards him, seeing that the man had already come close.

"Yi, get out of the way." An Chen in the distance wanted to step forward to rescue him, but was surrounded by others and couldn't move forward, shouting eagerly.

Xuan's expression didn't change much, but a short knife slipped quietly from his wide sleeve, and with a turn of his wrist, it resisted the sword stabbing from the front.

The silver-masked man obviously didn't expect to encounter resistance, he was slightly taken aback, and at this moment, Xuan drew his knife and dodged to attack the opponent.

The smooth moves stunned the third prince, An Chen, who never thought that his fifth younger brother would know martial arts, but after a few moves, An Chen and the silver-masked man discovered at the same time that the fifth prince's attack only had moves, but no internal strength. He's just stalling for time with clever moves and nimble steps.

Once again, the swords of the two touched each other, the silver-masked man increased his strength, Xuan's face instantly turned pale, and bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough, you have no internal strength." The silver-masked man smiled.

"So what, I just want to last until someone comes to save me."

As soon as Xuan finished speaking, the silver-masked man felt a gust of cold wind behind him, gave up on the injured Xuan, turned around to defend against the enemies behind him, An Chen and Yu Hao rushed up at the same time, and fought with the silver-masked man.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Qinglian rushed out of the car and supported Xuan who was about to fall.

"It's okay." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

"He said it's okay, he vomited blood." Qinglian was about to shed tears.

"Qinglian, give me the hairpin on your head." Xuan stretched out his hand

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Even though she didn't know the Fifth Prince's intentions, Qinglian took off a silver hairpin from her head and handed it to Xuan.

Xuan took out a delicate small box from his bosom, opened it, and there was a kind of transparent ointment inside, he wiped the hairpin in the box, and put the box in his bosom again.

Before she could understand what was going on, Qinglian saw her master flying towards the back of the silver-masked man.

It's not that there is no internal strength at all, it's just too little, very little, but it's enough.

The silver-masked man sensed someone flying from behind him, he made a feint, avoided An Chen's sword, turned around and stabbed at the person behind him ahead of time.It's just that he didn't expect that the one attacking from behind turned out to be Xuan who had been seriously injured by him.

The sword brushed against Xuan's arm, but at the same time, the hairpin in Xuan's hand also inserted into the silver-masked man's shoulder.

"You..." The silver-masked man widened his eyes, watching Xuan slowly fall to the ground.

"Catch the thief first." Xuan completely ignored his injuries, stood on the ground, looked at the man on the horseback, "There is poison in the hairpin, you lose."

"What!" The silver-masked man was shocked, and at the same time, he also felt dizzy.

"You'd better find someone to detoxify right away, otherwise it won't take half an hour..." Xuan didn't continue.

Yu Hao and the third prince both ran to Xuan's side at this time, staring at the silver-faced man vigilantly.

The silver-masked man stared at Xuan for a long time, as if he was considering whether Xuan's words were trustworthy. He frowned for a long time, and said darkly, "I will remember you, and we will meet again."

"Accompany you at any time." Xuan's bloody lips slightly raised.

After a whistle sounded, the silver-masked man retreated with his men, and Xuan finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Yi, are you seriously injured?" The third prince jumped off the horse and supported Xuan.

"Third brother, I'm fine, we'd better get out of here right away."

"No, I'll heal you first."

"No, I'm afraid they will return soon."

"It's okay, that leader didn't get poisoned by you, so he probably won't come back so soon."

Xuan looked at An Chen, and shook his head helplessly, "You think he is really poisoned."

"Isn't it?"

"Third brother, why are you confused? I stay in the palace all year round, so there is no poison on my body." Xuan took out the small box just now from his arms, "I just smeared some ointment extracted from agar flower petals on the hairpin."

"Agar flower, what is that?"

"It's a very inconspicuous little flower. I found it by accident in the cold palace. Most people don't know that if the juice of the agar flower penetrates into the blood, it will make people unconscious, but it won't last more than an hour."

"So, the poisoning..." The third prince opened his mouth wide

"It's all a lie."

"The leader will be mad at you if he finds out."

"That's his business." Xuan's eyes didn't fluctuate at all, as if nothing happened just now.

Seeing the white figure staggering towards the carriage, An Chen was puzzled as to what kind of person he was.
