The Legend of the Royal Cat

"Father—Royal Father!" There was a muffled sound of leather whips slapping the skin and flesh in the courtyard, and Zhao Ling'er was startled, and regretted playing his temper and making Zhan Zhao anger Father, "Royal Father, that's enough! Ling'er It's gone."

"Wei Bi, order me to go on, fast for another three days, and if someone begs for mercy, I will add another three days!" King Huai's words made Ling'er gasp, looked at the courtyard with a guilty conscience, and said softly: "Ling'er Son——Go back to Nanjing Pavilion first, father, you should rest earlier!" Holding Liu Guang in her arms, Zhao Linger ran out of the hall as if fleeing.Ziling blessed King Huai and hurriedly chased her out.

When passing through the courtyard, Zhao Linger almost ran wildly with his eyes closed. He was afraid of seeing Zhan Zhao's stern eyes, and even more afraid of seeing Zhan Zhao's bloody appearance.

Zhan Zhao could clearly feel the severe pain of his flesh being whipped and the warmth of blood flowing out, his dizzy mind finally gradually cleared up, what happened to him today?Impulsiveness, rudeness, irrepressible murderous intent - what is wrong?At last the execution was over, and for a while the clouds hung over——

Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng Study

"Guard Zhan became a giant gate?" After hearing Gongsun Ce's report, Bao Zheng was shocked.

"Yes, the student wanted to persuade him to ask the Eighth Prince for help." Gongsun Ce shook his head and sighed.

"Sir finally gave in, but did you see Zhan Weiwei's intentions?" Bao Zheng paced back and forth in thought.

"The student guessed that Guard Zhan didn't want to ask the Eighth Prince for help. Maybe he noticed that King Huai sent someone to follow him." King Huai's eyes and ears should not relax their surveillance on Guard Zhan.

"That's right, it's one of them. What if there is another force monitoring Zhanwei?" Zhanwei, you really are a master of art and bold, yet you use such a risky trick!Alas, it would be nice to be a little stupid, and the government doesn't have to be so frightened!

"Your Excellency, do you mean the assassin side?" My God, is Zhan Weiwei trying to convince the other party that now is the best time to assassinate? !

"That's right, lead the snake out of the hole! It's just—the risk is too great! Mr. Gongsun, continue to send people to secretly monitor the movement of the mansion, and also protect the safety of the pawnbroker Liu, so don't miss out on Juque. I'm going to visit the Palace of the Eight Sages. "

"Yes, the students will do it now!"

Beishuo Pavilion, King Huai's study

"My lord, Zhan Zhao was bought by Juque as Liuguang, and he came back late because he made an ordinary saber temporarily. My lord—is today's punishment—" A bit too much?Although I don't like Zhan Zhao, but Zhan Zhao is an imperial envoy after all, so it's really unreasonable and emotional to treat him so rudely!

"This king knows all these things. This king just wants to go along with the flow to help him perform a play, kill his spirit, extinguish his anger, and teach Ling'er a lesson. Alas, it is something that this king dotes on. After a while, Ling'er has grown up, and it's time for her to understand that as a princess, she is responsible for every word and deed! —— Weibi, strengthen your defenses, there may be visitors in the next few days! In addition, Monitor the original servants in the mansion, and if you find someone who has gone wrong, don't startle the snake, and report it to me." What a Zhan Zhao, decisive and courageous, the king really saw the right person!

"Yes! My lord, there seems to be something wrong with Zhan Zhao tonight." Can Zhan Zhao educate the princess? !The prince's education method is really incredible.However, the murderous aura on Zhan Zhao's body is really worrying, don't push him too hastily!

"Have you noticed that too? That's right. With Zhan Zhao's character and cultivation, he shouldn't easily become murderous. According to common sense, Zhan Zhao's strength as a swordsman should be weakened after leaving the sword and giant tower, but this king But I felt a stronger force. What's going on?" Xuantianke's apprentice - interesting!

"My lord, what should we do now? Do you want to send someone to check on Zhan Zhao's injuries?"

"No need. Someone will watch it, just wait and see what happens." A meaningful smile came to the corner of his mouth.

There was a muffled thunder, and pea-sized raindrops fell down, and in an instant it became an overwhelming rain curtain——

Nanjing Pavilion, Princess Bedroom

"Princess, it's time to go to bed. Princess—Princess—" She called a few times and got no response. Zi Ling stretched out her hand in front of the dazed Zhao Linger and waved it vigorously.

"Forty leather whips, does it hurt? Will you be beaten to death?" Zhao Ling'er murmured while hugging Liu Guang.

"It must be excruciatingly painful! The skin must be torn apart!" Zi Ling said emphatically, seeing Zhao Ling'er looking at her nervously, she smiled and said. "But I definitely can't die! I heard from Zilong that Nan Xia is very powerful, not to mention he is still a royal cat. Cats have nine lives!"

"Then he will hate me to death, right? I took the compensation and made him starve and whip him." Ling'er looked at Ziling and said guiltily.

"No—it's strange! He is an imperial envoy, and he didn't make any serious mistakes. It's strange if he doesn't get angry when he cracks and beats the whip!" He said with a smirk in his heart while tidying the bed. Your Highness, how long can you hold on?

"Oh, he hasn't had dinner yet. Ziling, go to the kitchen and ask Granny Wang to make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and say that I'm not full from the dinner and I want to have some supper." Originally, I should feel that it was right to vent my anger, but why? So much guilt?I feel so sad!

Are you sorry?Hehe, as soon as I came back, I could see that the princess's heart was moved. Apart from the prince, Mr. Zhan was probably the only man who dared to discipline the princess!Zilong, it's women who understand women, the princess can't bear to punish Mr. Zhan, you're doomed!Zi Ling, who was secretly proud of herself, pretended to be embarrassed: "Princess, can't you?! The prince has given the order of fasting for three days, and you openly disobeyed? The prince has a very violent temper recently, and he will be whipped at every turn. Zi Ling Long was so dangerous last time! If the matter is revealed, the prince will not bear to hurt you, drag the servants out and mess with sticks, and my life will be over!"

"What's the matter, I'll take it on myself! Are you going? Damn girl, believe it or not, I'm going to kill you right now?" Zhao Linger made a gesture to draw his sword.

"Oh, my god! The dead girl will go right away!" Zi Ling hurriedly ran to the door, poked her head out from behind the door panel, and made a grimace with her tongue out, "Your Highness, I knew this before, why did I do it in the first place? Before you lose your temper, think twice! Alas, I'll go find Grandma Wang!" Ziling deftly dodged the flying rouge box, and disappeared in a flash.

The red candle flickered, the bedroom suddenly fell silent, listening to the sound of rain hitting the eaves outside the window, Zhao Linger sighed softly to the streamer: "I'm sorry! In your heart, I'm really just a willful, unreasonable, useless princess ?"

Hotel kitchen

"Grandma Wang, it's so late, are you still asleep?" Zi Ling jumped behind the busy Wang Po and said suddenly.

"Oh, I scared the old lady to death! Miss Ziling, what is the princess' order?" Wang Po said, patting her chest.

"The princess is hungry and wants to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake! Grandma Wang, please forgive me!" Ziling smiled mischievously.

"Shouldn't someone be too hungry to be a princess? Sigh, you don't want to persuade some princesses to be less tempered. The prince is too, why is he so ruthless? The prince was not like this before." Shaking her head and sighing, Wang Po took care of herself again Its stove comes.

"Princess knows she's wrong, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is actually for—" Zi Ling whispered in Wang Po's ear.

"Hmm! This is pretty much the same. There is no sweet-scented osmanthus cake. This is the freshly made Sophora japonica cake. He likes this the most. Let's take it! The soup will be ready later, let's take it together!" Wang Po said with a serious face .

"Hey—Grandma Wang is so eccentric! Hehe—"

Rainy night, Nanjing Pavilion, the roof of the West Wing

King Huai has re-armed, with a fishnet-like defense - now it's just waiting for the fish to enter the net.In the current situation, the defense of the pavilion is quite complete, but if the assassin's light function is comparable to that of Bai Yutang, it may be difficult for the shadows to escort them in time, and they may not choose to attack in the pavilion.Zhan Zhao, wearing a hat and hat, sat on the roof with a sword in his hand to observe the movement of the shadows in the dark night. The whip wound on his back had already been bandaged with gold wound medicine, but the severe pain was still accompanied by the scorching heat in his chest. The rain came in waves, and the rain line in front of my eyes became thicker and whiter——

The smell of blood strongly irritated the nose and throat, the air was drawn away, leaving only a feeling of suffocation, the surrounding area was covered with dazzling dark red, and bright red dripped again, both feet were soaked in the bloody blood, unable to move, slowly Slowly sinking down—the vicious black shadow came with a murderous puppet, the scream pierced the eardrum, and there were many beating hearts in the hands, the bloodthirsty madness was clamoring—wanting more blood— —

"Meow——" the hand in the killing was rubbed by a ball of hair, and there was a cramping pain in his heart as if being pressed down by a thousand catties. Zhan Zhao suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat and trembling——

The rain was still falling, and the black shadow in front of my eyes gradually became clear, "You woke me up." The black cat's pupils emitted a faint blue light in the dark night, and it turned its head to look at Zhan Zhao's room. One sound.

"Let me go back to the room?" Zhan Zhao said leisurely, stroking the black cat's head, this time the dream was unprecedentedly real, and he was afraid to face it for the first time.

Hall of Rejuvenation, Chamber of Secrets

"Report to the Great Protector that Princess Huaishuo arrived at the residence today. Zhan Zhao pawned the Juque for 5000 taels and bought the Liuguang Sword for Zhao Linger. Zhan Zhao returned late, punished Zhan Zhao with [-] lashes and fasted for three days! Great protector, Zhan Zhao lost his sword first, and was punished later, his strength has been greatly reduced, now is a good time to officially start the assassination operation!"

Have you left Juque?It's getting more and more fun! "Don't act too hastily, just in case there is a fraud! Don't you have to starve for three days? It's never too late to act on the last day. Let Gui Lijin imitate a giant que, send people to the pawn shop to secretly exchange the que, the sooner the better good!"

"Yes!"

Palace of Eight Sages, Flower Hall

"Bao Zheng sees the Eight Kings Qiantui Qiantui Qiantui!"

"There's no need to be too polite, Bao Zheng, you must have something important to come here in the middle of the night in the rain, so tell me quickly!" The Eighth Prince looked anxious.

"Go back to the lord, something big will happen to King Huai in the near future!" The Eight Sage King's face has changed in one word.

Nanjing Pavilion, Princess Bedroom

"Zi Ling, quickly send the cakes and ginseng soup to the West Chamber!" So that his injury can heal quickly, Zhao Ling'er covered the lid of the food box with her own hands.

"Huh? Princess, Master Zhan's injury and punishment are all thanks to you. You asked me to prepare this supper. There's no reason why I sent it!" Zi Ling pretended to look up at the sky in a daze with a smirk on her face. .

"He hates me so much, can he eat it when I send it to him? Besides, I'm a dignified princess—"

"Princess, princess, princess—His Royal Highness, if you always put on this air, I'm afraid Mr. Zhan will be farther and farther away from you! According to my observation, Mr. Zhan is very approachable and very friendly to our servants." Well, I don’t care about the rich and powerful at all! Alas, after passing this village, there will be no such shop! You can figure it out yourself!”

"Who wants to get close to him?! Okay, okay, you go with me!" Zhao Ling'er heard Zi Ling's voice, and unconsciously flushed on her cheeks.

"Yes, obey!"
