There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

With Mr. Gu's guarantee, the little prince thought that he shouldn't push too hard, so he walked away in a good manner.

He wanted to tell Long at first, but thought that the matter was still uncertain, and it was not good to bring it to Long like offering a treasure, so he gave up for the time being and only wanted to wait for the man to come.

Ordinarily, Mr. Gu's old man looks very stubborn, and it seems difficult to persuade him, but now he is finally relieved, he should be happy.But thinking about what Mr. Gu said, the little prince always felt a little unhappy.

What Mr. Gu mentioned reminded the young prince of the scene when they first met.

At that time, there was madness in Long's eyes, and there was also strong hatred in them.It was only when he was talking to the little prince that he gradually became normal, and his speech became orderly, gradually appearing gentle and docile, making him lovable.The little prince recalled the situation when they first met, and only felt that the dragon at that time was completely different from the current appearance.

The little prince is not stupid, as long as he thinks about it carefully, he can find something wrong. In fact, he and the dragon have only been together for a month or two. If it is said that the dragon will have any indelible and deep feelings for him, he himself I don't believe it either.For such a long time, except that Long treated him a little coldly at the beginning, the relationship between the two of them was quite close afterwards.The little prince also couldn't tell whether this kind of intimacy was out of soft-hearted consideration and sympathy, or was it a deliberate numbness and flattery.Or maybe it wasn't, maybe the dragon was just too lonely, so he caught him and asked him to be a companion. If the dragon had other choices, maybe he wouldn't pretend to talk to him.

Originally, with the young prince's intelligence, it was not difficult to think about these things, but the young prince has been obsessed with it, so he couldn't get out and think about these things.Or he had already thought about it, but he refused to stop and think about it.He had already voluntarily fallen into the trap, surrendered, without any fighting spirit, only full of tenderness.

When this tenderness bumps into the giant dragon with a body length of nine thousand feet, it may be smashed to pieces in an instant, leaving no bones left.

That's probably what Mr. Gu sighed about.

Don't talk about Mr. Gu, the little prince himself wants to sigh for himself. Every choice he makes seems to bring him one step closer to a dead end.But thinking about it again, he didn't have much choice in the first place.Either the conscience is tortured, or the life is threatened, and the last thing is to suffer from lovesickness. There is always no option for everything to go well.

Thinking of this, the little prince scolded the old prince again in his heart.He couldn't do anything else but vent his anger.Before he saw the dragon, no one knew what the old prince had done to the dragon, and no one knew how much hatred was hidden in the dragon's heart.But the eyes that Long showed back then, the little prince will never forget for the rest of his life.

During the month of waiting for Mr. Gu to send a letter to invite someone, the little prince still went to deliver food to Long once every three days as usual. After the meal, the two would often spend a while together, getting tired of kissing together, endlessly.The little prince almost tried his best to let himself act like a baby to the dragon, for fear that after the dragon rope was released, he would not be able to catch anything, and everything would be like a mirror, and it would be nothing.

Unable to tell what was on his mind, the little prince never mentioned the matter of tying the dragon rope again.Long himself didn't mention it, as if it wasn't important at all, he had already forgotten about it.

The little prince secretly thought, maybe during the 20 years that Long was imprisoned here, he had hoped countless times, but since that hope never came true, he didn't believe it anymore.The more he thought about it, the more he felt pitiful for Long, and he was determined to accomplish this matter this time, even if he had to be smashed to pieces, he would not hesitate to do so.

Thinking about this, the little prince felt more and more like a hero in a tragic story.

Mr. Gu kept his promise, I don't know what secret method he used to contact, 30 days later, the magician who is said to have the ability to subdue dragons and tigers came to the palace.

That person called himself Young Master Ren, he looked very young, his face was rather handsome, his body was like a zhilanyushu, and his posture was extremely chic, making people fall in love with him at first sight.He didn't have any luggage, but he was wearing a half-worn gray Taoist robe, and he was holding a stag tail in his hand. The handle of the stag tail was inlaid with gemstones. It looked like a treasure, but it was also quite old. The hair is uneven, and it seems that it should be repaired long ago.

The little prince has seen several warlocks before, but he has never seen such a strange person.He invited Mr. Gu to accompany him, and hosted a banquet in honor of Mr. Ren.Mr. Gu seemed to be very familiar with Mr. Ren, and after toasting him, he asked him about his experiences in recent years.Mr. Ren just laughed and said nothing, Mr. Gu asked again, and then he heard him talk about sitting and drinking tea with the mountain god under the moon; The pot and the tripod are used to cook the giant fish caught.

What this Young Master Ren said is beyond the capabilities of human beings, if it comes from someone else's mouth, the little prince will definitely not believe it.However, this Mr. Ren has a kind of fairy spirit, and these things are said by him, which makes people feel very credible and fascinating.If it weren't for the little prince's other worries, I really wish I could worship him as my teacher and travel around the world with him.

After eating the banquet, the young prince prepared a residence in the palace for Mr. Ren to live in, and assigned two servant girls to serve him.He himself carried the food box to deliver food to Long.As soon as he entered the room and said hello to the dragon, he saw the dragon sniffing:

"You smell a bit like the sea. Didn't you go to the beach these few days?"

The little prince shook his head blankly:

"How far is the sea from here? I can't fly, how can I go back and forth in three days? You must be mistaken."

Long thought for a while:

"If you didn't go to the beach, you must have met someone."

The little prince was a little surprised, he didn't expect Long Lian to know such things clearly.Now that Mr. Ren has arrived, the young prince has nothing to hide, so he told how he asked Mr. Gu for help, how Mr. Gu invited Mr. Ren, and how he invited Mr. Ren to the banquet today.Qinglong heard the young prince said Mr. Ren's age and name, and said in surprise:

"It turned out to be him! I used to be the lord of the East China Sea. For 500 years, I saw him fishing in the East China Sea with fifty cows as bait. At that time, I was full of aquariums, and I was tired of eating his bait several times. I don't want to see me now. It was this person who was behind bars. Now that he is willing to come, I probably have a chance to escape."

After Qinglong said these words, he rarely showed joy on his face, and his eyes also shone with brilliance.The little prince had never seen such a situation before, and he felt mixed feelings of sorrow and joy in his heart, as well as a complicated expression on his face.He lowered his eyes, not wanting the dragon to see him.However, the dragon stretched out his hand to caress his cheek:

"I want to get away, you are not happy?"

The little prince desperately shook his head, finally confided to him the most fearful thing in his heart:

"I'm just afraid of you leaving."

Long sighed softly, and the little prince felt his head was wrapped in a big hand, leaning on the dragon's chest.For the first time, he heard the dragon's heartbeat clearly. The sound was quite different from the human heartbeat, like the ding-dong of spring water.Hearing this voice, the little prince only felt that his mood quickly calmed down.

But Long never made the promise.

The little prince didn't leave the place where Long lived until very late, he didn't want to go to bed too early, so he wandered around the mansion alone, unknowingly walked to the courtyard where Young Master Ren lived, but saw two figures illuminated by the lights in the room.

The little prince was curious for a moment, and after walking a few steps forward, he heard Mr. Gu's voice:

"Senior Brother, I'm so upset and I don't know what to do, so I have to invite you here, and please don't blame me."

Hearing what he said, the little prince was taken aback. Mr. Gu looked much older than Mr. Ren. Is he actually Mr. Ren's younger brother?

Just let the son say:

"Back when I was fishing in the East China Sea, the dragon stole my bait many times. It was very disgusting. It happened that it had troubles with the King of Jin, so I imprisoned it here. Now that I have caught a big fish, I am not afraid of it making trouble again. Speaking of my recent practice, I haven't made any progress in 20 years. I'm afraid it's the retribution of my prisoner against the sky. I wanted to come, but I didn't have any reason. It happened that you wrote to call me, so I came. You don't need to be upset. In a few days, I will find an auspicious day to remove the chain for that dragon, and the grievances and grievances will be settled, and there will be no debts."

Seeing Mr. Gu's shadow on the window, the little prince seemed to shake his head:

"Senior brother, don't think this matter is so simple. That evil dragon has never been wronged like this since he was a child. He vowed to take revenge back then. Now that the old King Jin is dead, there is no guarantee that it will not spread its anger on others. Brother, you Naturally, I am not afraid, but I don’t know how many people in the Jin Palace will survive after this incident.”

Mr. Ren laughed:

"Junior Brother, you have been in this place for a long time, and you have also contracted this soft-hearted problem. You learn Taoism with me, don't you know that for these mortals, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky. A drink and a peck, is it predetermined?" You have forgotten even these, I am afraid that the teachings of the master did not leave much in your heart. No wonder you are obviously younger than me by several decades, but now you are so old and haggard, so pitiful. Waiting for this to happen now, You follow me back to the mountains to practice, and don't come out again."

Mr. Gu smiled wryly:

"Brother is used to saying such cheap words, don't you know why I have become like this. Now that I am old, you are still as young and beautiful as you were on the mountain. If I walk with you, I am afraid The demon is more powerful and difficult to restrain. When this matter is over, you go your way, I cross my single-plank bridge, and never see each other again."

Master Ren laughed again:

"You're so angry, if you don't want to see me, why come here late at night. Back then, you were the one who relied on me because you were not stable! You and I haven't seen each other for 20 years, so why don't you come here tonight?" and sleep."

Mr. Gu seemed to be about to leave, but was held back by Mr. Ren.The two muttered a few more words, but the little prince didn't hear clearly, but saw that the lights in the room had already been blown out.He didn't dare to stay any longer and left quietly.
