Seeing that Ah Liu's second arrow missed Chu Kuan's self-cut dagger, the emperor's face changed drastically for a while, but it was too late when he swept up. He grabbed Chu Kuan and shouted angrily. However, even if he was angry, his childhood playmate, who would say some confessions with a calm face most of the time, only had an inexplicable smile at this time, and he was already angry.

Except for the previous words, there was nothing else that could be regarded as a last word.

The emperor had received a report from the people on the Qintianjian stargazing platform in the palace, claiming that Zhang Yuan's people were inexplicably setting off fireworks in broad daylight, so he felt a little weird, and thought about nothing for a while, so he simply hurried out of the palace to see what was going on, who knew that the carriage broke down in Bei'anmen, and it took a long time to delay the car to return to the palace after repairing the car.

Listening to Princess Yongping's hurried explanation, saying that Zhu Ying was summoned by the Empress Dowager of Qingning Palace, Zhang Shou behaved abnormally, as if something had happened, he simply took this daughter and went straight to Zhang Yuan, but found that there were more than half of the people here. From a group of ignorant little guys who only know how to obey orders, so they set off fireworks in broad daylight, Zhu Jing asked Zhang Shou to go to Baiyun Temple, and he felt that something was wrong.

My own son-in-law, where did he say that things were inconvenient, but what Baiyun Temple did he want to go? So, the emperor immediately sent people and summoned a team of sharp cavalry battalions to Baiyun Temple.

And when he just came in, although he only had time to catch up with the last battle, he had already realized what had happened, so the emperor was even ruthless in his heart, and he was determined to severely punish Chu Kuan, so as to set an example and give Zhu Jing and Zhang Shouweng's son-in-law an explanation...... And thinking of the past incidents from this, he even thought about it, even if he put aside the old feelings, he had to ask Chu Kuan carefully to understand.

But at this moment, his mind was blank, and his eyes seemed to turn one scene after another as if he were on a marquee.

And the next moment, the many imperial attendants who still didn't stop when the emperor appeared just now, just tied their hands together. However, their stop came too quickly and suddenly, so that most of the opponents could not close the momentum, and under the sword, there were dead and wounded for a while. But even those who were dead and wounded only let out a low muffled grunt, but none of them begged for mercy and confessed their sins.

It took a long time for the emperor to come back to his senses from his trance. With his hands covered in blood, he slowly let go of his hand, let the corpse in his hand slide to the ground, and then looked up at Zhu Jing and Zhang Shou, and asked word by word: "What did he say to you?" ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Chu Kuan to be so resolute, but what made him even more unbelievable was that Ah Liu only blocked the sword, but not the sword, so at this time, he was looking sideways at the young man with a frustrated face, and he couldn't answer the emperor's question at the first time. However, he will lose his mind for a moment and ignore the Son of Heaven, but Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing will not.

"Yingying, you take Zhang Shou out." After saying this, Zhu Jing didn't care whether Zhu Ying agreed or not, and directly ordered, "The others will also take away the imperial attendants brought by Chu Kuan, and I have something to tell the emperor alone." ”

Zhu Ying originally wanted to insist, but it can be seen that her father's eyes showed unquestionable resoluteness, and seeing that Zhang Shou was obviously a little distracted, she finally stepped forward and dragged Zhang Shou out, but after walking a few steps, she turned around and saw that Ah Liu was also in a daze, and immediately said angrily: "Ah Liu, what are you doing here, come and carry Ah Shou, you see that he is scared!" ”

Ah Liu was slightly stunned and hurried over, and without saying a word, he carried Zhang Shou on his back. However, when he followed Zhu Ying out without looking back, he suddenly felt that his ear was being pulled hard. Although he has always been very resistant to pain, he couldn't help but gasp at this time, and then heard a sneer behind him.

"You know it hurts, too? But you don't know how to be afraid! ”

Knowing that Zhang Shou had regained consciousness, Ah Liu saw Zhu Ying walking straight ahead as if he hadn't heard it, so he whispered, "Young master, what are you talking about, I don't understand." ”

"Still pretending to be stupid? And still pretend with me? Ah Liu, I've been with you for so many years, can you hide this little bit from me? If you want to stop someone, even if it is Chu Kuan, which hand he cuts himself, which hand will definitely be hit by an arrow, how can you miss! Do you think the emperor is a fool? ”

Ah Liu muttered quietly, "But there must be poison on him...... There must be one in the mouth! ”

"Then why don't you wait until he takes the poison, why do you need to pretend to miss?" Zhang Shou let out a low snort, seeing that Zhu Ying in front of him still seemed to have heard nothing, he couldn't help but slap the young man's head again in annoyance, and when he wanted to train again, he heard the young man's low voice, "Even if I want to pay for his life, I will kill him!" ”

"Who made him want to kill you!"

Zhang Shou was suddenly choked speechless, and then he saw that Zhu Ying in front of him suddenly turned around, first glared at him fiercely, and then asked Ah Liu: "Little Ah Liu, tell me honestly, what did Chu Kuan say before?" ”

"It's all crazy." Zhang Shou was really not interested in mentioning those conversations just now, especially when he knew that Ah Liu could retell the conversation process word for word. Therefore, he didn't give Ah Liu a chance to speak, but only briefly mentioned it, focusing on Chu Kuan's suspicion that he was born to know. As a result, he only listened to Zhu Ying's hatred and scolding.

"It's ridiculous! I was born to know what's wrong, isn't there often some weirdness in this world, saying that so-and-so was reincarnated in so-and-so, so a child is old-fashioned as an ancestor? Scholars will still be happy to record these things, which shows that this is not a particularly unusual thing, Chu Kuan, is he full of food and support? I'm idle and have nothing to do and entangle these! ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying didn't think so at all, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then diverted the topic and asked: "Princess Yongping said before that you were summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother, seeing you like this, did you see through it halfway?" ”

"There have been a lot of messy things recently, so my grandmother and mother have told me to be careful, so I made an appointment with Aunt Yuquan in advance, announcing that I must bring those words when I enter the palace. It was really the chamberlain of Qingning Palace, and the reason for making it up seemed to be the same, but he didn't have that message when he said the summons, so I was suspicious. ”

"I thought it was simply someone who wanted to do something wrong to me, so I quietly asked someone to send a message to the eldest brother, and then said to that guy, I want to buy something to bring into the palace to present to the queen mother, and then the eldest brother waited for the rabbit and directly set up an ambush to take people down. That guy is very difficult, he begs for death when he sees something wrong, what kind of soldiers will he bring, exactly the same as Chu Kuan! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying couldn't help but curse two more words hatefully, and then raised her eyebrows slightly: "But it's still the eldest brother who is powerful, he moved quickly and stopped the guy who begged for death." Later, he didn't know what means he used to ask for it. ”

As she spoke, she also deliberately glanced at Ah Liu, as if to comfort her, and said, "But Ah Liu, you let Chu Kuan commit suicide, and you didn't do anything wrong." Fortunately, you didn't get angry and cut your throat with an arrow. Kill him and don't do it yourself, otherwise the emperor will remember you for the rest of your life......"

Even now, I might remember it for the rest of my life...... Zhu Ying thought about it in her heart, but she didn't take it out and say it. After all, she understood Ah Liu's water-like behavior just now.

"You are already very restrained, if it were me, with a bow and arrow in hand, I would care about him, and I would definitely raise my hand and shoot him to death with an arrow! Those who dare to do something to Dad and Ah Shou must of course die! ”

Just now he praised Ah Liu's restraint, but then Zhu Ying's true nature was revealed. She even gritted her teeth a little, and was extremely annoyed that when Zhang Yuan's gang came in a hurry, they only brought Ah Liu's bow and arrows, not her own, so that she just lacked long-range attack methods, and she couldn't throw the long sword out casually to vent her anger.

And Zhang Shou got down from Ah Liu's back again, rubbed his temples that were slightly swollen and painful at this time, but he was thinking in his heart, after such an incident, how deep a thorn was in the emperor's heart, should he take advantage of the opportunity of the next large-scale fleet to sail overseas, and simply go overseas to harm others?

However, in these years, there are thieves and bandits on the land route, and the sea route is even more dangerous, even Emperor Taizu's luck against the sky can't stop him, he is so young, he hasn't lived enough!

He was thinking about the way forward, but then he felt a pair of soft hands hugging him tightly from behind. Feeling that the two lumps of abundance were clinging to his back, he didn't know that it was Zhu Ying, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, my father-in-law came out with me on his back before, and it was because of my father-in-law's love for my son-in-law, not because I really couldn't walk." ”

"Ah Liu turned his back on me, and that's because you want him to avoid the emperor......"

Before he could continue, Zhu Ying's soft voice came from behind him: "I used to think that Ah Shou knew a lot, and he was different from ordinary people in terms of people and things, and even the methods used to solve things were different from ordinary people. Probably this is also the reason why Lu Xiaofat and they obey you, because you have never regarded them as prodigal gentlemen who need to be feared. ”

"From the first day I saw you, you didn't look like a rural farmer, not because you were good-looking, but because you spoke and acted with such a kind of calmness, as if we, the children of the powerful who really grew up in the capital, are countrymen! I remember you hiding away from me when you were fine, as if I were a flood beast! ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Zhu Ying to turn over the old accounts at this time, and immediately coughed: "The past is unbearable, Yingying, don't mention this......"

"What is the past, it was less than two years ago, why can't you mention it?" Zhu Ying's height was not shorter than Zhang Shou, and at this time, his head could almost rest on his shoulder, but his voice was full of joy that could not be concealed, "Do you know that when I saw the side hall on fire before, I wanted to put on my wings and fly in?" Do you know how happy I was when I saw my dad carry you out! ”

"So, at that time, I really wanted to hug my father, just like he hugged me when he was a child, but unfortunately I couldn't hold him!"

This kind of extremely childish words, Zhang Shou heard it in his ears, but he felt a little unable to laugh.

When he and Zhu Jing teamed up to scare Chu Kuan just now, it seemed that both of them were quite calm and calm, but in fact, he himself was at least sweating, because he was not sure that the group of people in Zhang Yuan would act as he expected, and he was not sure what kind of drastic action Chu Kuan would take......

Because he was completely stalling for time! Fortunately, Zhu Jing was also delaying time, and his father-in-law, who usually didn't like to talk much, was actually reasoning with facts in the face of Chu Kuan, especially talking!

Therefore, Zhang Shou couldn't help but gently press Zhu Ying's hand, but did not repeat Zhu Jing's impassioned words. He didn't know how many pairs of eyes and ears there were, but he didn't really care, he just instinctively didn't want those things to reveal the truth about that good old age in his wife's mind.

He didn't know where Zhu Jing knew those things, and he didn't know if the emperor knew, but he was sure of one thing, that is, in Zhu Ying's mind, the compatriot who was separated from him by more than an era was a big hero.

Then, let people continue to be a big hero, because that is indeed a big hero!

Therefore, neither of the husband nor wife spoke, and naturally no one noticed that Ah Liu had already crept away. However, the young man did not avoid a place where no one was, but quietly sneaked back to the burning side hall before. But apart from the sound of burning wood, he didn't hear anything else, and when he looked in, he found that there was no one at all.

At this moment, Ah Liu suddenly became annoyed. Just as he frowned slightly, and was about to look for it in another place, he caught the sound of his clothes fluttering. At this moment, the hairs on his body stood up one by one, almost subconsciously clinging to the root of the wall, and then suddenly jumped up, but he came face to face with the person who flew over the wall, staring at him with big eyes.

When the master saw the apprentice, he was full of astonishment at this time, and the apprentice was also full of disgust when he saw the master.

So, when he saw Ah Liuer turn around and leave without saying a word, Hua Qi subconsciously reached out and grabbed it, but as soon as his fingers touched the other party's shoulder, he saw that the person's shoulder sank suddenly, and he was about to break free lightly and skillfully. If it was usual, it would have been okay, but he had just rushed over in a hurry, and he was about to find someone in the know to ask him what was going on, how could he let Ah Liu go like this.

He instantly sped up the speed of his moves, and Ah Liu had no effort to accompany him, and the young man still wanted to find the emperor and Zhao Guogong Zhu Jing who didn't know where to speak!

At this moment, the master and apprentice naturally refused to let anyone, you came and I fought very lively, but one was experienced, the other was young and strong, and when they finally got the real fire, they were about to have a real fight, and the two heard a voice almost at the same time: "Uncle Hua?" What are you and Ah Liu doing? What are you fighting? ”

Ah Liu was obedient when he saw Zhu Ying, and Hua Qi hurriedly jumped in front of Zhu Ying at this time, and was about to ask what was going on with those imperial attendants outside, but he was stunned by the news that Zhu Ying threw over directly: "Uncle Hua, Chu Kuan transferred those imperial attendants to kill Ah Shou, and even my father refused to let go, and now the person is dead!" ”
