Four people. It's really a lot more lively than the previous two people. There were only two people before, Zhang Fan and Zhu Xuanqi. And two people drink. Speaking of which. Although it can be let go. But talking and talking. It's easy to spoil the taste.

Just like this time. Before, it was just Zhang Fan and Zhu Xuanqi. Although said to have drunk some wine. Both of them are also considered to have let go. More than just salutation. Even the things we talk about are more personal. But. It's a bit too heavy. How to say it. Although talking about these things can be regarded as a sign of open-mindedness. But it's a little unpleasant.

And the four of them are a little different. As the host here. Although the four of them have now put down their identities. Able to sit at the same table and drink. But. Zhu Xuanqi's essence as a prince cannot be changed. Maybe. When I was with Zhang Fan. Although there are two people, one is the prince. One is the minister's. But after all, the identity is not too different. He was still able to let go. But now add the words of Wang Meng and Liang Chao. It's a different story.

All in all. It is impossible for Zhu Xuanqi to let go like before. Tell all of your intimate remarks to the three people present. Speaking of which. It's kind of funny. After all those things about him. Even if it is the things that can be said to Zhang Fan. Three people present. And which one of them is not known. Sometimes, though. That's how interesting it is.

A few people were drinking. While talking. In this way. This time flies quite quickly. Unconsciously. It's time to do it. I didn't drink too much. It took four people to drink half a jar. But. The subject is also starting to get bigger. Zhu Xuanqi is a prince. Speaking of which, I don't have much knowledge. It's not that he doesn't have enough knowledge. It's that he really hasn't been to many places. So naturally there is a lot less talk in this regard.

But he doesn't mind being a listener. Just listening to what others are saying. Even. He liked it even more. The three people in front of them. Although it is described as "going south and north". It's an exaggeration. But these three people have really been to a lot of places. Although this southwest is the first time to come. But somewhere else. North to the desert. South to Fujian. I've been there too. So they talked. Naturally, Zhu Xuanqi had never heard of it before. Now I hear them talk about it. Zhu Xuanqi was naturally very happy.

But. Some topics. But it can't be avoided. Or rather. Talking and talking. I don't know what's going on. That's all there is to it.

Imagine. All four of you are men. And it's not the kind of person who has been sick and weak since childhood. As he spoke, he ran to the sword dance. And. There were also Wang Meng and Liang Chao sitting at the scene. Not to mention Wang Meng's title of "the first master of the imperial court". And. Speaking of which. Zhu Xuanqi's words are obviously too much. Apparently. He is similar to Zhang Fan in this regard. Merely. Zhang Fan didn't show such excitement as he did. And this time. Basically, Zhu Xuanqi is asking. Of course. The objects are naturally Wang Meng and Liang Chao. And. Most of them asked Wang Meng.

Wang Meng is not surprised. Or rather, he is already very comfortable with such a thing. In addition, the other party is a prince again. Naturally, there are all questions to be answered.

And that's going to be said. Zhang Fan suddenly remembered something. Interrupted: "That's right. Speaking of this martial arts practitioner. I think there are quite a few in this palace. ”

"It's nature." When it comes to his own house. Zhu Xuanqi was obviously also interested. "Speaking of which. In the midst of this royal palace. The guards add up. There were also more than fifty people. It's not that I think my life is so valuable. Not many people want my life. It's just too big here. First, I need some people to take care of it. Second, let's go. Such a big place. If you wander around for a long time, you won't see anyone. It's really uncomfortable. ”

"Huh. The prince laughed. Zhang Fan smiled. Said. "But that's just as well. Just like the other day I watched it in the garden of the palace. Not even the guards will come there. If it's a person. There is silence. But after a long time, I also felt bored. ”

"That's it." Zhu Xuanqi nodded and said. "I've felt that since I was a kid. At that time. If I go to the garden. Always have someone with you. And now. I rarely go. After all, I know it all by heart. Let's talk about watching. But it's not necessary. And. That's what you're talking about. This garden is in the inner courtyard of the royal palace. Originally, there weren't many people here. Even if it's the guards plus the subordinates. There are not as many as the outer courts. If you go to the garden alone. Naturally, I can't meet anyone. ”

"That's right, Lord Wang. Speaking of the inner courtyard. I remembered. "Zhang Fan's kung fu is good at climbing along the pole. Zhu Xuanqi just mentioned it. He picked up right away. "In the inner court of this royal house. How many guards are there? How did you get out of that Zhao Zijie. I haven't seen any other guards. Could it be that he is alone. ”

"Not really." Zhu Xuanqi shook his head and said. "There are two guards in the inner courtyard. One of them is the Zhao Zijie you just mentioned. And the other one is not patrolling here. On the west side. I don't come here on weekdays. Naturally, you won't see it. ”

"I see." Zhang Fan nodded. Said. "But then again. Although it is said to be the inner courtyard. But it's not small here either. Only two words. It seems that the prince is really relieved of the Zhao guards. And Zhao Guards looked young. But he can be a guard in the inner courtyard of the palace. I guess it must be extraordinary. ”

"Not bad. When it comes to skill. Zijie is really not far behind. Zhu Xuanqi said with a smile. He came to my house three years ago. He was only seventeen years old. But at that time, the ring was set up in the palace. He won the crown with ease. But he will be a guard in this inner court. It's not because of this. At that time, I was going to let him go to the house. After a few years, let him enter the inner courtyard. But his background has something to do with me. Originally, his father was also a guard in the palace. And he was my bodyguard. But it was also because of me that I was seriously injured. Scrapped a leg. I've always been obsessed with that. Now I see him. Naturally, I just want to repay the kindness of the year. So he just entered the house. So I sent him to the inner court as a guard. Normally, nothing happens. At most, it's helping me. Or other people just talk and run errands. ”

"I see." Zhang Fan nodded. Seemingly. What Zhao Zijie said to him before did not deceive him. But I'm telling the truth.

Merely. In this way. The doubts in Zhang Fan's heart were even greater. Whether it is the news from the mouths of Zhao Zijie or Zhu Xuanqi. All in all, there is only one point. That is, there is no hatred between Zhao Zijie and Zhu Xuanqi. Even Zhao Zijie gave up his practice and came to the palace as a guard. But it was also his father's last words. If he doesn't like it. It is also possible not to comply. If you can't disobey your father's last words, you don't have to be unhappy in your heart. Thinking about it, even if I feel a little unhappy. But it shouldn't be angry.

But. What Zhang Fan saw in the garden that night was looking for Zhao Zijie. There's just too much violence. and his monstrous hatred for Zhu Xuanqi. Definitely exudes without reservation.

This is exactly what Zhang Fan is most puzzled about. Finally. What is Zhao Zijie's hatred for Zhu Xuanqi?

"Still. Zijie is already twenty years old. Zhu Xuanqi didn't care what Zhang Fan was thinking. Said to himself. "The year of the weak crown. Although it is a weak crown. But he is already an adult. His parents died young. When he was young, he practiced martial arts diligently. But they neglected themselves. If it goes on like this. Instead, I'm going to continue to hurt him. Well. Wait until this year is over. I'll let people see if there are any good women to marry. I'll come forward in person when the time comes. Tell Zijie that it is a family matter. That's a beautiful thing. Hahaha. It seems that Zhu Xuanqi really values Zhao Zijie very much. Even Zhao Zijie's lifelong events are very concerned.

"Lord Wang." It was at this time. Wang Meng suddenly spoke. interrupted Zhu Xuanqi's laughter. The voice was rapid but not loud. "Is the Zhao guard patrolling the mansion tonight?"

"This ...... Yes. What's wrong. Zhu Xuanqi, who didn't know the situation for a while, didn't know why Wang Meng asked this. But he answered anyway. "How. You want to see Zijie. But I'm afraid not. It's brightly lit now. But he won't come. I guess it's the easternmost side. “

"What's wrong, Wang Meng." Zhang Fan also asked. But he knew it in his heart. I'm afraid tonight's show is about to begin. It's not easy to think about. Originally, when this decision was made. It's really just speculation. No one knows if anyone will come tonight. And now. Wang Meng said. Zhang Fan immediately understood. You guessed it.

"I think so." Wang Meng said. "If it's Zhao Guard. Naturally, it is very generous. There's no need to hide in the grass and peek here. ”

"In the grass." Zhu Xuanqi still didn't understand what Wang Meng was talking about. "Wang Qianhu. What the hell is going on. ”

"Lord Wang. When he spoke. I heard movement in the grass outside. Wang Meng whispered. There were no living creatures in the palace. And tonight there wasn't even a bit of wind. This hour. In addition to the four people here, there are also two maids outside the door. The rest of the people also slept. And the Zhao guards were still patrolling the easternmost part of the inner courtyard. How can there be movement here? Fear. There was some uninvited guest in the palace. ”

Heard Wang Meng's words. The other three all changed their complexions. I became surprised. Of course. Two of them naturally pretended. And Zhu Xuanqi. was really shocked by Wang Meng's words.
