"Ah, Axue." The merchant stood aside awkwardly holding the manifest, "Can you take a moment to do your fingerprints?"

Zhong Xue poked Liang Duan's shoulder socket: "Let me press my fingerprints, you should let go first."

Liang Duan was at a loss, put Zhong Xue down hastily and stepped aside.

"Here?" Zhong Xue rolled up her cuffs and pressed her fingertips lightly on the inkpad.

"Yes." After Zhong Xue pressed his handprints, the merchant leaned into his ear, "Who is the crown prince?"

Zhong Xue looked at Liang Duan who was facing the wall aggrievedly, and chuckled lightly: "Yes."

"I really care about you. You are quite a shy young man. He is not as vicious as your father said." The merchant and Mr. Zhong are old friends. Back then, they planned to make baby marriages for the two children, but Zhong Xue liked the minority. The matter is over.He glanced at Liang Duan, "When I came, I happened to meet him coming back from the palace, and he brought a box of food to Zhaohe Restaurant. I thought it was for him to eat, but I never thought it was for you, tsk~"

Before he finished clicking his tongue, Zhong Xue interrupted: "He entered the palace?"

"Yeah, when I came out, my face was gloomy, as if someone owed him [-] yuan." The merchant received the goods list.

Zhong Xue smiled: "That's how he is."

The merchandiser stroked his chin: "No, it's quite a happy face now." Someone urged him from behind, and he agreed to leave for now.

Zhong Xue walked behind Liang Duan and leaned forward with her hands behind her back: "Brother Duan, did you enter the palace this morning?"

Butler Zhang who came back from the outside replied: "We will finish our meal in the morning, the Holy One sent someone to make an announcement."

"Are you free?" Liang Duan turned his head and frowned.

Butler Zhang bowed his head in silence, and returned to the mansion. Before Zhong Xue could ask, Butler Zhang chatted about it again.

Liang Duan was dismissed on the charge of "offending the superior and beating the prince". It's been a long time ago. The emperor just picked up this talk today, so he must have some conspiracy.

Recently, the southern border has recruited a large number of troops, and the tribes in the western regions have repeatedly harassed the border of the Great Zhou. The situation in the frontier is worrying. The emperor knows what Liang Duan has been plotting and has been prepared for a long time, but the current result still gives him a headache.

In recent years, taxes and taxes in Dazhou have increased repeatedly, and droughts and floods have become widespread, but the emperor has been unable to come up with a countermeasure. He procrastinated again and again, resulting in the loss of people's hearts. This is not a good phenomenon. Fighting, I have been raised in the comfort zone for too many years, and my morale is exhausted.The rogues from the East, the Gu Masters from the Southern Border, and the tigers and wolves from the Western Regions that live in the water and grass, if any one of them jumps up, it is enough to shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Kingdom, let alone the Western Regions and Southern Border.

The emperor originally wanted to use the beating of Zhou Yan to beat Liang Duan, so that he could restrain himself, but unexpectedly, Liang Duan yelled at him in the hall, his tone was so rampant, and his expression was contemptuous, he almost regarded the man on the dragon chair as someone in a mud pit. Is worthless.Within a morning of this incident, rumors spread in the palace, and the emperor was so angry that he was desperate to find the source of the rumor.

Zhong Xue's hand holding the pen paused: "What about King Liang? Why did I hear that the emperor is going to send him to fight in the Western Regions?"

"It was also mentioned by the prince. He told the emperor that it is okay to let him stop. The northwestern border city of Dazhou lacks a guard. As long as King Liang goes to the northwest to fill in the gap, he can keep the southern border of Dazhou safe and sound." Zhang The butler laid out the copybooks in the box on the table, and heaved a sigh of relief, "This is a Buddhist scripture copied by the prince, so you can copy it easily."

If the matter of King Liang's going to the Western Regions is finalized, he will not be far away from being killed in the name of a rebel army.

The siege and killing of King Liang in the desert was a turning point for Liang Duan's sword to point at the country. After that, no one can stop him, and he is invincible. Until the spring of the next year, he will rule the world.

Zhong Xue said, "His Majesty agrees?"

Butler Zhang nodded: "It's okay to disagree. In order to centralize power, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been emphasizing culture and restraining martial arts all these years. Up to now, the Holy Majesty does not have a confidant who is good at fighting. If he can't fight, he can only compromise."

"That's right." Hurrah, Zhong Xue flipped through the stack of handwritten Buddhist scriptures, and frowned: "This...was all copied by the prince?"

Butler Zhang: "Look at what you said, you still don't know Shizi's characters."

After seeing so many posts, Zhong Xue naturally recognized them, but they were all scriptures on abstinence and sex, copying them like this, anyone with a bit of wisdom should be promoted.

[The progress of "Old Secrets" is 73%, and the dropped item - the map of the secret spring, which can be used in conjunction with King Liang's secret room map, can save lives. 】

Zhong Xue's sleeve sank, and there was an extra sheepskin map inside.He sent Steward Zhang away, opened the map, and there was a red line marked on it. Starting from the back mountain of Prince Ping's Mansion, he walked around a few rice paddies, and there was a karst cave in the shelter of the dense forest. The past is the so-called secret spring.

"Do I have to go to the point marked with a small red flag?" Zhong Xue asked, pointing to the map.

[The host said that the probability of dropping items during the mission is very small. This time, you are lucky. If you like to go or not, you can just offer the map. One day it will be too bad to take it out and suck it, maybe you can change your luck. 】

This spring is so hidden, even with a map, it is not an easy place to get in and out. At this time, I need to use Brother Duan's protagonist halo.

study.

"Brother Duan, I heard about a secret spring recently, do you want to soak together?" Zhong Xue's fingers fluttered, twirling the brand new little wolf hair.

"Put down my pen." Liang Duan stretched out his hand to grab it, but Zhong Xue stepped back and snatched it away.

"Don't let it go." Zhong Xue pouted, put the pen between her mouth and nose, and winked at Liang Duan, "You haven't soaked in hot springs with others, it's so comfortable, try it."

"Who said I didn't have one?" Liang Duan refused to admit defeat, "I used to hang out with someone when I was 13 years old."

Zhong Xue was taken aback, Brother Duan, you, an old virgin who is ashamed to be served by a servant when taking a bath, actually took a hot spring with someone?Who has such a face?If he knew who it was, Zhong Xue would definitely make friends, and by the way, ask Brother Xia Duan about his reaction at that time.

"With whom?" Zhong Xue took down the pen, and scratched the back of Liang Duan's hand with the fluffy tip of the little wolf hair.

Liang Duan pulled his hand violently: "It's not you anyway."

Of course it wasn't me. When you were taking a bath at the age of 13, I was still chasing updates in front of the computer.

"Who is that?" Zhong Xue asked again.

Liang Duan stared at him ferociously for a while: "He suddenly appeared in the spring, I heard the voice and turned around, but there was no one."

"..." Zhong Xue was stunned. Brother Duan was very sensitive when he was young. He said there must be someone, but he heard no one. Is this some kind of supernatural event?

Liang Duan thought that Zhong Xue didn't believe it, turned his face away, and lowered his head slightly: "Later, he came here once and helped me block King Liang's knife. I came back to my senses..."

Halfway through speaking, Liang Duan suddenly stopped.Zhong Xue laughed: "Could it be that I haven't seen anyone again?"

Liang Duan nodded: "I only saw a pool of blood."

The corner of Zhong Xue's mouth twitched, and she tapped the system: "Tong'er, are we serious non-spiritual dragon Aotian's counterattack?"

[Anyway, I'm a person who has read the full text, don't you think it's stupid to ask this question? 】

"How do you explain Brother Duan's words?" Zhong Xuenahan asked.

【do not know. 】

"..."

Zhong Xue was dubious: "That is to say, you have never seen this person before?"

Liang Duanji said to Ya: "But he helped me block the knife."

"Okay, okay, he blocked the knife for you, he is a very good person, okay?" Zhong Xue waved his hand, and pulled back the conversation, "It's just a hot spring, what can I do for a while?"

"Don't accompany."

"Accompany me once, just once, I am so delicate, what if I run into a pervert like Ning Chang?"

"You can pour tea on his face like Ningchang."

"There's only water with a nice white mist in that place, and a naked man splashes another spring in the spring...Are you sure this isn't flirting?"

"..."

"Forget it, forget it, I won't force you. The spring is just behind Xie Xuan's mansion, why don't you go with Xie Xuan?"

"you dare!"

"Then are you going?"

……

The next morning, Liang Duan stood in the cave and looked around at the rugged rock walls: "Where is the hot spring?"

"Don't worry, it's inside." The entrance of the cave was backed by the sun, and there was no skylight in the cave. Zhong Xue held the glazed lamp in one hand and Liang Duan's sleeve in the other, and walked towards the depths of the cave.

The more he walked in, the more weird Zhong Xue felt.From the outside, this karst cave looks like it was formed by natural erosion. However, after walking a hundred feet inside, there are traces of artificial excavation everywhere.Papa papa, the barbed stone on the top was dripping water, and it landed on the back of Zhong Xue's hand, and it suddenly felt cold.Liang Duan broke away Zhong Xue's hand that was pulling his sleeve, and held it in his hand.

Following the route given by the map, the two came to the first stone gate. Zhong Xue pressed the mechanism next to it, and the stone gate opened with a bang.In front of the eyes is a neat open space with a lot of space, and there seems to be something carved on the surrounding stone walls.

"Mural?" Liang Duan asked suspiciously, "Where is this place?"

Zhong Xue shook her head: "It's my first time here too, so I don't know, but it's not a good place by visual inspection."

Liang Duan took the lamp from Zhong Xue and walked around the wall.A little boy and a little girl are engraved on the wall, playing and playing innocently.

Immediately after is the second stone gate, with similar murals engraved on the four walls, but the little boy and the little girl have grown from the main corner to a frivolous boy and a bright girl.

The third way, the fourth way... all the way to the seventh way, but...

Opening the eighth door, Zhong Xue was puzzled: "Didn't you return my elder brother and younger sister, why did you suddenly get married?"

Liang Duan also felt that something was wrong, walked to the end, pointed at the wedding dress on the girl: "I put it on forcibly."

Zhong Xue was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"

Liang Duan looked at the girl's torn wedding dress, and frowned slightly: "Intuition."

"..." The corner of Zhong Xue's mouth twitched, "Can you see anything else?"

Liang Duan shook his head.

After entering the ninth stone gate, Zhong Xue's face paled instantly: "That man killed his father and brother...became the emperor?!"

Liang Duan's eyes froze, and he walked straight to the tenth door. When he saw the mural inside the tenth door, he froze for a moment.

In the painting, the woman tore off the middle part of the imperial decree after holding her orphan, and put it into the prepared liquid medicine.
