Xiao Yu rushed towards Fengming Pavilion in an ecstatic mood.
Because he walked so fast, Qingxue couldn't keep up with him.
"Young prince, please walk slower. I really can't walk fast anymore."
Xiao Yu looked excited, like a child. At this moment, he just wanted to go see Uncle Liu Shi and could no longer care about the maid behind him.
He turned back and shouted: "Just walk slowly, I have to go back first."
"Hey, little prince!"
Along the way, he walked with wind, weaving left and right between the walls and courtyards. The palace was really big enough, and he almost bumped into the oncoming servants twice, one of which was the strong and strong guardian.
The nurse was patrolling the courtyard and was about to scold someone who had no eyesight. When he saw it was the young prince, he quickly knelt down.
Xiao Yu didn't care about him at all, and walked straight away, attracting the nursing staff to look at him with lingering fear.
After about another stick of incense, Xiao Yu finally returned to Fengming Pavilion.
The lights in the pavilion were brightly lit, and the young prince walked through the halls and alleys.
The servants serving in the pavilion put down their work and saluted one after another. They looked at it from the corner of their eyes, but they didn't know why the young prince was so excited.
I saw him walking towards the backyard, heading straight towards the guest room that was expressly forbidden to approach.
But no one dared to ask why, and the servants continued to work on their own.
Xiao Yu pushed the door open and closed it behind his back.
A weak lone lamp was on in front of him, and he saw Liu Boxuan sitting on the bed wearing a black robe, and Dendrobium sat on the bedside holding soup for him.
When the two of them saw Xiao Yu coming in, they both had affectionate smiles on their faces.
"Young prince, I have made you worried. Shi Hu told me everything."
Xiao Yu felt sad for a while and burst into tears. He came to the couch in a few steps, stepped forward and hugged his Uncle Liu tightly.
Liu Boxuan's wound had not healed yet. Although he was in pain all over his body, he still smiled kindly and patted Xiao Yu on the back, just like patting his own child.
"Why are you still crying..."
"Hmm... when I saw Liu Shishu was so seriously injured, I thought..."
Liu Boxuan sighed and said after a moment:
"With so many officers and soldiers surrounding me, I originally thought that I could not fly without my wings, and had to deal with it in that fighting arena. Later, thanks to my brother Shihu, if he had not come to the rescue in time, I might have been in hell by now."
Xiao Yu nodded vigorously, stood up respectfully, and said respectfully to the young man with a short stature:
"Brother Dendrobium, Uncle Liu Shi is like a father and brother to me. Brother Dendrobium saved my uncle Liu, which is equivalent to saving my father and my brother. Xiao Yu will never forget this great kindness, and the Jiangxia Palace will never forget it. Please accept Xiao Yu A bow."
After saying that, Xiao Yu bowed deeply and bowed deeply.
Dendrobium over there had a look of fear on his face, and he hurriedly made gestures, probably to the effect that he couldn't bear this great gift.
Liu Boxuan said: "Dendrobium, the young prince has been my favorite since I was a child. I am alone. The young prince is like a close relative in my heart. On ordinary days, I would never dare to let him be so generous, but today the young prince salutes on my behalf." , you must accept it.”
Hearing what Liu Boxuan said, although Shi Huo was still frightened, he could only accept the gift with a naive smile, but he hurriedly helped Xiao Yu up again.
Afterwards, Shi Hu left the room with an excuse, giving the two uncles room to talk.
Xiao Yu supported Liu Boxuan's body and asked him to lie down again, while he sat on the side of the bed and talked to him.
Xiao Yu asked Liu Boxuan why he was chased by officers and soldiers.
Liu Boxuan sighed and roughly recounted the process of tracking the Northern Dynasty assassins all the way to the battlefield until he was besieged by the Right Guards.
"All those assassins from the Northern Dynasty were killed?" Xiao Yu said in surprise.
"Well, that's right. After the fire in Tongxiali, a total of seven assassins survived. The one who was blinded by Princess Yongning was called Qifuba Liugu. He was from Xianbei, Longxi. He died of serious injuries the next day after escaping. Yes. Hey, the man with the penis is really powerful..."
Xiao Yu knew that he was talking about Yang Hua, but he had been busy with Chunhefang these days and ignored the news from Princess Yongning's mansion. He didn't know how Yang Hua's injury was now. He should be able to go to the ground!
"My young prince, what are the origins of the women who intercepted and killed them? Their martial arts are not weak, but they are also too vicious. I think what they are best at is inquiring about information and private assassinations. What makes me the most What’s puzzling is that they actually mentioned you and knew about the relationship between you and me.”
Xiao Yu kept squinting his eyes: "They never had murderous intentions when they fought with you?"
"I don't know about the first killer. She should be very young, but her assassination skills are still good. She lost mainly because of her experience. Her attack was not serious. I couldn't see her intention, so I hurt her. The second one is different. Her techniques are not that flashy, but each movement is very purposeful and confusing. She should be a killer with actual combat experience. I was also careless at first, leaving her such a big gap. Then It's not impossible that she really wanted to kill me once, but she gave up in the end and just rescued her companions. My young prince, do you know any female killers? Maybe you can guess their identities? "
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and then shook his head. Speaking of women, the only one who could be implicated in those Northern Dynasty assassins was Princess Yongning.
Thinking of this, he said: "Princess Yongning has been very secretive about her assassination. She is silent, but it does not mean that she did not arrange it. I am wondering if this is the plot she set up behind her back?"
Liu Boxuan thought for a while: "There is some truth in this statement. You can think in this direction. Little prince, Xiao Yuwan is unfathomable and notorious. At home, she is your sister and has flesh and blood affection for you, but she is here Taicheng, do you know what she will look like and what she is planning?"
"Didn't know."
"As a sister, has she ever warned you to stay away from this right and wrong?"
"Said."
Liu Boxuan smiled heartily: "Haha... My sister is my sister. Although she is the biological sister of the current emperor, you are also related by blood after all. If she can keep you away from this matter, it can only be said that she knows it well and uses it. She can solve the problem without you having to worry about it. Thinking about it, if she arranged those female killers, it makes sense, and the matter is settled."
"Is it over?" Xiao Yu rolled his eyes: "Does Uncle Liu Shi really think so, or is he using this to make me feel at ease?"
The smile on Liu Boxuan's face faded a little, "What do you mean, young prince?"
"Uncle Liu Shi, we don't yet know the culprits behind those Northern Dynasty killers. At this juncture, those killers were killed. I know that it is not ruled out that the eldest princess had made arrangements, but I have other suspicions... that is, someone wants to kill people and silence them! I want to Eliminate the clues... If this is the case, then the person behind the control is still at large. Even if this matter is not over, today is the assassin of the Northern Dynasty, and tomorrow will be the assassin of the Southern Dynasty..."
"My young prince, why are you so concerned about this matter? What does this matter have to do with you?"
When Xiao Yu was asked this question, he was suddenly speechless.
"This is a political conspiracy. All you want is to protect Xiao Yuwan, the sister you think you still have a family relationship with!"
Xiao Yu nodded silently.
"My young prince, do you know what my purpose is in tracking those killers? Do you think that I will only care about the family love in your heart and not think about anything else like you do?"
Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Liu Boxuan.
"I pursued that matter for the sake of the Qi Dynasty. If I didn't ask, there would be many forces trying to get rid of the cocoon. If it was a conspiracy of the Northern Dynasty, I, Liu Boxuan, would risk my life to destroy the plans of those northern invaders. But I found that This should not be the case, there may be shadows of the Northern Dynasty behind this matter, but in the final analysis, it should still be the internal struggle of the Southern Dynasty itself!"
At this point Liu Boxuan sighed.
"Young prince, I was born a Han and will die a Han ghost. If I continue to investigate for the sake of internal fighting in the Qi court, the result will only be disappointing to those of us who still have loyal souls. I will not investigate this matter again. , I also hope that the young prince will not be involved in it again, it is meaningless."
Xiao Yu nodded silently, recalling what Liu Boxuan just said.
"The young prince will be nineteen this year. Excluding the years when he lost his memory, the young prince can do such things. The prince in the palace should be happy! But compared to those who play with the government, the young prince is full of enthusiasm. , is easily deceived by others and acts as a chess piece. Xiao Yuwan is not like this. What about the other people who are trying their best to get close to you? They must have an agenda, little prince, it is good to have a warm heart after all, but the eyes must be cold. , look at it coldly, observe, and think."
"Well, Uncle Liu Shi."
"Speaking of the previous incident, that ugly internal fight actually made the young prince so enthusiastic, haha... Among the truly sober people must be the eldest princess of Yongning, Xiao Yuwan. He remained silent, but his Her political wisdom is definitely different from ordinary people. I have already observed this. How forbearing she is, I am afraid that Cui Huijing, Wei Rui, Xiao Yingda, Deng Yuanqi, Lu Sengzhen and other important ministers in the court are not as good as her. Little prince, you Why worry about such a strong person? It’s just unfounded worry.”
Xiao Yu's eyes seemed to have changed slightly at this time. He wanted to refute Liu Boxuan before, but now he just listened to his analysis of the situation.
Liu Boxuan looked at the roof and sighed: "You don't know how deep the water is. Why did the Right Guards suddenly appear that night and start killing the barbarians again?... Your sister was fighting with someone or She knows in her heart who her opponent is in a certain power game. She keeps you away from this matter so that you can get out in time to avoid being involved and getting deeper into it. I don't like her, but I can see that she cares about you. It's really good, but based on this, I won't kill her."
Xiao Yu nodded in understanding.
"Xiao Yuwan is a powerful person. Even if the Northern Dynasty wanted to kill her, I would believe it, but that is not the case this time. Young prince, those who can keep their composure are often the final winners in the game. Don't always think of something. It's all on my face, and I put what I want to do in the open. Haha...I said too much tonight, but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm your Uncle Liu Shi. If I don't say this to you, who will? What do you mean? It’s a pity that the prince is not here. If he were here, given time, he would train you to have a sharp eye. Your prince, you are a master of wielding power, haha..."
"But my father has been locked up in the palace. Whether it is good or bad depends on Xiao Yuheng's mood."
"Little Prince, don't underestimate the one sitting on the Dragon Throne. He is not just cruel and crazy, he also has frightening political methods. Compared with him, the Little Prince is too young. Let me tell you something, Little Prince One of the prince and the prince is in the palace, the other is outside the palace, and the prince's other heirs are all in exile. You can clearly see this kind of check and balance. The emperor keeps the prince, but he can be used at critical times. Hey, in short, I also underestimated it at first. He only regarded his sister and brother as another pair of replicas of Liu Ziye and Liu Chuyu, but they were absolutely powerful... After spending time in Jingxiang for a long time, Xiao Yan, the governor of Xiao, also handled some important military and political affairs. Everything is now clear, little prince, living a stable life is more important than anything else, don’t let the muddy water flow that has nothing to do with you anymore."
"I understand, Uncle Liu Shi."
"My lord, I don't know if my intuition is accurate."
"What intuition."
"I hope that day won't come..."
At the end of Liu Boxuan's speech, he seemed to have no strength left. He closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep again.
Xiao Yu sat in front of Liu Boxuan's bed for a long time and thought about it for a long time. He thought about what he had done during this period. He could not describe it as absurd, but it was neither right nor wrong. It may be too early to comment now, but tonight's conversation, It is tantamount to allowing him to grow again.
After a while, he covered Liu Boxuan with a quilt and walked slowly to the door. He saw Liu Boxuan's silver gun and couldn't help but pick it up and look at it carefully.
In his memory, Liu Shishu was an excellent marksman, but he rarely traveled with a gun. However, this silver gun was often stored in the palace and randomly placed in his father's weapon rack.
Just when I was about to get here, the door suddenly opened, and a beautiful figure flashed across the wallpaper.
Xiao Yu forgot to fire his gun in his panic, and looked at Qingxue pushing open the door and walking in with his long gun.
Qingxue glanced inside and asked softly: "Where is General Liu?"
Xiao Yu also lowered his voice: "I fell asleep again. It will take some time to recover."
Xiao Yu blinked. I don't know since when, Qingxue has become more and more natural when talking to him. He is no longer as restrained as a slave and a slave.
Sometimes she looks more and more like my little daughter-in-law.
Xiao Yu still likes this feeling, it feels like a little lover who lived together before marriage.
This feeling was so pure that Xiao Yu always wanted to take good care of it, but he also felt that there was something that seemed particularly fragile, so he no longer owned it without paying attention.
The girl was always reserved and shy, maybe she wanted to give her body to the young prince.
But Xiao Yu would not act like a king just because he knew she liked him.
There was just a layer of window paper between the two people, but it was insurmountable.
But when a girl who likes you like you is standing in front of you, do you really have the heart to vent the beast side of human nature on her? Xiao Yu won’t.
But what if it’s Hu Xianzhen? The Queen Mother of the Northern Dynasty was naturally charming and charming, but that was not necessarily the case for Xiao Yu. Such a coquettish woman had to rely on her lower body to make decisions for herself.
Besides, it's my first time...
Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned red when he thought of this.
Qingxue blinked her big clear eyes and looked at herself curiously: "Little prince, what's wrong with you...your face is so red...do you have a fever? You can't be sick!"
As Qingxue spoke, she put her warm little hand on her forehead, and then touched Xiao Yu's forehead.
The back of the hand is smooth, like warm jade, making people feel comfortable.
"Ah, little prince, you are really having a fever!"
"No...it's okay. It's too hot in the house. I'm going to go outside to cool down!"
With that said, Xiao Yu walked out and for some reason took away Liu Boxuan's silver gun.
"Hey, little prince!"
Qingxue in the room was a little confused, but the young prince's forehead was indeed hot just now, but his energy was as good as usual.
She wanted to see what the young prince was going to do, but when she saw that only Liu Boxuan was left in the room, she gave up her previous idea.
…
Xiao Yu walked out of the room and took a deep breath.
Looking back, Qingxue's beautiful figure has disappeared on the window paper.
In front of him was a dark corridor, and the night wind passed through it, extinguishing most of his restless thoughts.
I don’t seem to have too much energy lately, but why do you think that way?
Thinking about his age in this life, it is no wonder that a good young man of eighteen or nineteen years old is just when the sperm enters the brain, so where should the secreted hormones be vented?
No wonder the Qinhuai River, which is ten miles away, is full of lights and music every night. It is a place for those successful people with money and energy to vent.
But Xiao Yu felt that spending money there was a bit of a loss. In this era, there are no small movies to help release, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
Just as he was thinking of this, he suddenly saw a lonely figure sitting on the other side of the corridor.
The stocky lower limbs left the ground and dangled in mid-air, like an innocent child playing.
"Brother Dendrobium!" Xiao Yu shouted.
The lonely figure raised his hair, made a sound, jumped down from the guardrail of the corridor, and ran towards him with a smile on his face.
He was still babbling, as if saying that he was going back to take care of Liu Boxuan.
"Where is Qingxue?" Xiao Yu said,
After the other party nodded to express his understanding, he stared straight at the gun in Xiao Yu's hand, as if he was afraid that the young prince would take the gun away on a whim.
Xiao Yu looked at the open space outside the corridor.
The night was like silver, and the moonlight was squandered there.
"Brother Shi Hu, I haven't practiced holstering for many years. You can watch me practice the gun. Anyway, I have nothing to do."
Thinking that Dendrobium was also a martial arts fanatic, he clapped his hands and happily agreed.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Yu took a deep breath and danced out the marksmanship skills that Uncle Liu Xuan taught him in his memory. He thought that he was young at that time, and Uncle Liu Shi only taught him some basic marksmanship skills.
Among them, there are mainly thirteen forms of marksmanship that focus on laying the foundation: shaking, buckling, piercing, stabbing, picking, pointing, splitting, collapsing, plucking, pushing, stirring, belting, and horizontal.
Xiao Yu often practiced these marksmanship techniques in the middle of the night when no one was around. Most of the time, he was looking for some obscure techniques in his memory, and also created some of his own.
After practicing for a long time, once you become proficient in dancing, it will look good to a layman.
In addition, the old master who broke his brain before time travel is just like Zhang Wuji who was imprisoned on the top of the light by Yang Xiao. He absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and had a good body.
The spear technique is extremely powerful when used.
Xiao Yu was secretly feeling proud when he heard Shi Hu squealing, which meant that he should stop quickly.
Xiao Yu was puzzled, but he felt that he was a good dancer.
But Shi Hu ran over and snatched the silver gun from Xiao Yu's hand. Apparently he was very dissatisfied and walked back with the gun.
Xiao Yu felt puzzled and wanted to follow up and take a look.
But Shi Hu turned around and said "Wow wow wow" again, which meant that Xiao Yu should stand still.
So Xiao Yu stood down in the open space.
The night breeze blew by, and he rubbed his arms, which seemed to be a little cold.
About half the time of the incense stick passed, and the dendrobium came back again.
This time he carried a fire stick and threw it directly to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu took it easily, with a look of doubt on his face: "Is this what I'm going to use?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "buzz" sound passing through the air.
Dendrobium swung the silver gun in his hand and suddenly hit Xiao Yu's shoulder.
Xiao Yu was in pain, half-kneeling on the ground, and let out an "ouch" in his mouth.
Then the next shot came...
This was supposed to be a peaceful night, but instead such a scene unfolded in Fengming Pavilion.
The young prince with a high status was chased and beaten by a young man with a short stature all night long, and the wailing sound also rang in the night sky all night long.
The young prince suffered...
