There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

This sudden news surprised everyone, and they didn't know why there was such a coincidence.Of all the people, Xiao was the most surprised.

He was born in the royal family, so he naturally knew that the royal family either chose a fixed date for worshiping the ancestors, or because of special events, there was no reason to worship the ancestors without choosing a date.This time the emperor chose the date of ancestor worship in such a hurry, which is really quite strange.However, the mystery of this is beyond anyone's guess.

Xiao also thought about whether the king sent someone to eavesdrop on the conversation between him and Mr. Ren.He knew that there were definitely quite a few spies around them, but that day the Qinglong flew to the place where Young Master Ren was in the form of a dragon, and the spies sent by the emperor couldn't have chased him so fast no matter what... How could there be such a coincidence in the world Woolen cloth?

The so-called no coincidence can't make a book, but there are such coincidences in this world.Xiao could never have imagined in his dreams that the little girl he met by chance in the inn was also a spy sent by the emperor.After they rushed to the capital, they inquired carefully, and only then heard the specific situation of the emperor's ancestor worship.It is said that recently someone recommended a Taoist to the emperor. That Taoist has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. He told the emperor that there are evil stars descending from the realm recently, and there may be disasters. It can eliminate disasters and evil.It was after hearing what the Taoist said that the Holy Majesty decided to worship the ancestors at this time.

When Xiao heard this statement, he suddenly realized.It's just that I don't know what kind of person that Taoist priest is, to coax the emperor to be so obedient.But now that the emperor wanted to worship their ancestors, they naturally couldn't choose to go to the imperial mausoleum at this time, so they had to find a farm nearby to stay first and inquire about the situation before talking.

Apart from the matter of the emperor worshiping the ancestors, Xiao has other things to worry about.

That day when they came back from Mr. Ren and joined the Zheng brothers, Xiao felt that something was wrong with Zheng Shiqi.When they were on the way to the capital, Zheng Shiqi's behavior seemed a little weird, as if he was always preoccupied.His younger brother Zheng Shijiu was the same as usual, eating and sleeping, and didn't react at all.

Unlike his younger brother, Zheng Shiqi had always been deep in his thoughts, no matter what was on his mind, he always kept it in his heart and never showed it on the surface.Now that he is showing such a mood in front of Xiao, Xiao just finds it very strange.Finally one day, he found a gap, saw that Zheng Shijiu and Qinglong were not there, and there were no other people around, so he grabbed Zheng Shiqiu and asked him:

"You have something on your mind?"

Zheng Shiqi also seemed to have spotted this opportunity, and when he heard Xiao Wen, he said directly:

"I've wanted to talk to you about this for a long time, but I didn't find the right time. When the two of you were looking for the fairy, Feng Chuo came to me."

"Feng Chuo?"

"It's the Feng Chuo who lent us 30 taels of silver before. When you captured our brothers, I used his name to exchange our brothers' lives with you two."

It was only then that Xiao remembered that there was such a person. Seeing his expression, Zheng Shiqi cautiously continued to speak:

"He seems to be doing well there recently. He was given a mission to persuade our brothers. They said that as long as our brothers are willing to provide information, not only will there be a lot of gold and silver, but they will also give us a job in the army in the future." Errand."

"Nineteen don't know about this?"

"I don't know." Seventeen smiled wryly, "Feng Chuo had already seen that Nineteen was a fool and couldn't hide things in his heart, so he didn't tell him."

Xiao looked at Seventeen and asked again:

"Did you agree to what he asked?"

"The two of you were not there at the time, so I had no one to discuss with. At that time, I had to come down and say it first. As the saying goes, keep a front line in life, so that we can meet each other in the future. After all, Feng Chuo and I still have friendship, so we don't want to tear ourselves apart. .Agreement first, both sides can talk. No matter what, there is always room for change. But although I agreed to that side, my heart is always toward you, young master."

Xiao stared fixedly at Shi Qi's smiling face, it was difficult to judge whether he was credible or not.Then he said again:

"We have been traveling together for a long time. You are a sensible person. You should have already guessed my identity. Now that you are by my side, I am afraid that you just want to find a family. Now that they are looking for you, It is your promotion stage, why do you come to ask me?"

Seventeen bowed his head in thought for a moment, then said:

"Nineteen and I were just two little thieves. Fortunately, you and Qingjun took us in. We have found a serious job. We have been together for so many days, and you have never slighted us. I feel grateful in my heart, so I don't want to Do something against you."

Hearing what he said, Xiao looked at his face and burst out laughing:

"Say it yourself, do you believe what you said?"

He exposed Shiqi right away, Shiqi couldn't help laughing, and said:

"What I say is true and sincere, but you don't believe it. Well, let me tell you another reason why you must believe it: I, Zheng Shishi, know exactly what I look like in the eyes of others. Now they If you want anything from me, of course you have to come up with all kinds of favorable conditions to impress me. But if I really betray you and hand you over to them, I will be kicked aside by them. I don’t know if the current Holy Majesty What kind of temperament is it? If he has a darker temperament, he will definitely not let me live in the world after you are dealt with. You are different. We have been together for so long, and there is always some affection. I will wait for you to sit down in the future If you take that position, you won’t treat us brothers lightly.”

Shi Qi's calculation was really good. After hearing what he said, Xiao also knew in his heart that he was sincere, and sighed:

"Seventeen, you are such a smart person, you really should have a good place to go. It's a pity that you followed the wrong person. Ever since I left the capital and the palace, I never thought about going back. I only want to be with Qingjun in my life." Travel around the world together, but don't want to be the emperor of Lao Shizi. You are just delaying yourself by messing with me like this."

Hearing what he said, Shi Qi smiled and said:

"You said that you don't want to be the emperor, I really believe it. It's just that you can't help this matter. What has happened now is the best proof: even though you have fled far away, the Holy One is still holding you tight. ? Of the two of you, only one will survive in the end... This matter is doomed, and you cannot get rid of it."

Xiao sighed, maybe Shi Qi was right.He didn't want to be a threat to the current emperor, but it was impossible for the current emperor to let him go.There must be a life-and-death struggle between them, and only when one dies can the other find peace.

Imperial power is such a monster, it swallows people into its huge intestines, makes the original relatives and friends lose their original appearance, and makes them fight to the death in it.No one will be a winner, each of them is a slave to power.

Although Xiao was not interested in this at all, from the moment his father imprisoned Qinglong in the mansion, he was doomed to be coerced into this battle, and he would never be able to leave the field before the opponent left.

Now the sage is going to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors, Xiao wonders if this has something to do with him.But such a coincidence made him a little flustered. He always felt that this matter was not that simple, and maybe something unexpected was about to happen.

Qinglong is always keenly aware of Xiao's mood, and since Xiao drank his blood, Qinglong's connection with him has become even closer.At this moment, he found Xiao and smiled at him:

"Why are you hiding here with Seventeen? What are you thinking?"

Seeing Qinglong approaching, Shiqi retreated tactfully, leaving this place to the two of them.Xiao was full of melancholy at this time, even seeing Qinglong couldn't immediately improve his mood, he just raised his head and forced a smile, but his brows were still tightly frowned.

Qinglong stretched out his hand, smoothed the wrinkles between his brows with his fingers, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said softly:

"It's just that I haven't seen you for a moment, and when I meet again, I will see your sad appearance again. You always frown at a young age, which will make you look old. If you look older than me in the future, I don't want you."

Qinglong's ridicule slightly dispelled Xiao's sorrow, he stretched his brows, and tiptoed to kiss Qinglong's lips:

"Are you just bullying me because you rely on yourself to never grow old?"

Qinglong reached out and pinched his ass:

"It can't be called bullying you, but it's just that you feel sorry for you. Now you are a half-dragon body, and you won't age as fast as ordinary people, but too much worry will damage your body. You can tell me what's on your mind , I can help."

Since Qinglong said so, Xiao also expressed the worries in his heart:

"Recently, the emperor went to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices to his ancestors. I was always uneasy, and always felt that something was going to happen."

"It's common for the emperor to worship his ancestors. It's not surprising. But if you're worried, I'll go over to see the situation at night."

Xiao nodded:

"Then be careful."

That night, the blue dragon transformed into a small dragon only three inches long, and flew to Gaozu's mausoleum on a cloud, where he happened to see the king.

The king wears a black cloak and holds a lantern in his hand.He stood in front of the screen wall and pressed the mechanism on it with his hands.There was only one Taoist by his side.

Qinglong stared at the king's movements, watching the secret door on the screen wall open with the movements of the king's hand.The king went in together with the Taoist, and then the secret door was closed again.
