"You are sick! You walk without paying attention!"

A sturdy man cursed and reached out to grab him, but when the man grabbed his sleeve, he was stunned for a moment.

He rolled up his sleeves and resolutely plunged into the rain.

He didn't know how long he walked, but his brain was so hot that it was a mess. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, and he fell to the ground with black eyes.

A passerby spotted him.

"Hey, who are you? Why are you here?"

"I don't know them. They are not from these families."

"Is he the new guy next door?"

“No.”

"Hey! You stinky beggar! I'm unconscious and you're still touching my money!"

A little beggar searched his body for a while, but didn't find any silver, only a few copper coins, and walked away cursing.

The rain was so heavy that everyone was unable to take care of themselves and gradually left.

After an unknown amount of time, a carriage stopped beside him.

"Sir, there is a person on the roadside." said the coachman.

"I've told you so many times not to meddle in other people's business."

"Oh." The boy continued driving.

The person in the car opened the curtain and glanced at the man on the ground: "Wait."

…

The capital city was shrouded in rain and fog.

Jing Yi and Xiao Chonghua came to the Dali Temple in the rain.

"Cousin, can His Majesty's words be trusted?" Jing Yi asked.

Xiao Chonghua said calmly: "Believe it or not, I have to bite this hook."

Jing Yi frowned.

He grew up with his cousin. Although his cousin seemed to be favored, he was not actually. The sons that His Majesty truly favored were the eldest prince and the second prince. The sixth prince was still young, and was also quite favored.

Only his cousin's situation was very embarrassing.

Is His Majesty really willing to give the crown prince position to his cousin? "Did you bring the person?" Xiao Chonghua asked.

"I brought it." Jing Yi turned his head and looked behind him, "Bai Ze."

Bai Ze understood and walked over with a long-time attendant.

Xiao Chonghua put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Let's go and ask this Captain Chen."

Captain Chen was imprisoned in a separate cell, not adjacent to any other cell, and surrounded by walls on all four sides. It was gloomy and there was only a tiny hole in one of the walls to let in light.

It's like a little purgatory here.

Captain Chen sat on the chair with a big smile. When he saw the cell door being pushed open, he sneered, "Are you people in the court tired? I have told you many times that I know nothing. I advise you not to waste your energy on me."

Xiao Chonghua and Jing Yi entered.

Xiao Chonghua came to the opposite side of him and pulled his chair, but did not keep a safe distance from Captain Chen.

Captain Chen was a little surprised: "Humph, aren't you afraid that I will attack you by surprise? I mean, these chains of yours can't hold me down at all."

Xiao Chonghua said: "If you can beat Jing Yi, then try it."

Captain Chen glared at the young man beside Xiao Chonghua with resentment. After being arrested, he escaped from prison several times, but was caught by this kid every time.

He said disdainfully: "I was hurt by Qin Canglan, otherwise, how could a young boy like you do anything to me?"

Xiao Chonghua said slowly, "I came here today to show Captain Chen a clear path."

Captain Chen said sarcastically, "Oh, what do you mean by pointing out a clear path? It sounds so high-sounding, aren't you just trying to get information from me? Forget it, I won't betray the leader!"

Xiao Chonghua was not annoyed, and said calmly: "I never asked you to betray the leader."

you……

This name is somewhat intriguing.

"Bring the person in." Xiao Chonghua said.

Bai Ze pushed the man dressed as a servant into the cell.

Captain Chen took a closer look and was immediately dumbfounded: "He Protector? You are not dead?!"

He stood up in shock! Jing Yi drew out his sword and blocked Xiao Chonghua.

Xiao Chonghua said: "Jing Yi, let's go out first and let the two of them catch up."

Jing Yi and Xiao Chonghua left the cell.

Captain Chen looked at the tightly closed cell door, but he was still a little cautious. He lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said, "What's wrong with you? Aren't you dead? Why are you with Xiao Chonghua's people? Have you betrayed the leader?"

He Hufa hurriedly said, "I didn't! It wasn't me who betrayed the leader! It was someone else! I only pretended to be with Xiao Chonghua in order to find out the truth. I suspect someone has impersonated the leader and issued a death order for me!"

Is there any need to doubt this?

It was Guo Huan who did it.

Captain Chen cleared his throat. He did not stop Guo Huan, nor did he cause trouble for Guo Huan. Strictly speaking, he felt a little sorry for Protector He.

He Hufa said, "Also, the eldest prince seems to be a traitor in the court. He was the one who informed Wei Ting that my lair was destroyed last time. But I dare not believe it easily and I also want to find out the truth. This is the second reason why I faked my death."

Captain Chen asked, "Are you really not doing this for yourself?"

He Hufa swore: "My loyalty to the Master is witnessed by the sun and the moon!"

Captain Chen asked, "What are you doing here?"

He Hufa said earnestly, "Captain, if you have a green mountain, you will have no worries. Guo Huan has been exposed, and the court will not let him go. If he is gone, you will be second to none. Why bother with such a small matter? It is better to pretend to sell some insignificant information about Xiao Chonghua in exchange for a little room for survival. Then, I will wait for an opportunity to help you escape!"

Captain Chen frowned: "Isn't this betraying the leader?"

He Hufa said, "This is called sneaking into the court. You use a tiny price to gain the court's trust. When the leader needs our loyalty in the future, you and the leader will work together from the inside and outside. Isn't it a pleasure? Do you have to give your life away for nothing to be considered loyal? You feed the tiger with your own body, isn't this another way of repaying your loyalty?"

Captain Chen sat back in his chair blankly: "Let me think about it."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Protector He came out of the cell.

He met Xiao Chonghua at the end of the corridor: "Third Prince, I have said everything you told me to do."

Xiao Chonghua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your promise. Jing Yi's people will go to the White Lotus Sect to rescue your family."

Of course, Xiao Chonghua didn't care, he just wanted the result.

When Xiao Chonghua appeared in front of Captain Chen again, Captain Chen obviously no longer had his previous arrogance and disdain.

"Have you figured it out?" Xiao Chonghua asked.

Captain Chen said coldly: "I can tell you what I know, but how can I be sure that you will let me go? What if you kill me after you've done your job? I won't be able to defend myself."

You can threaten Protector He openly, but you still have to show a little sincerity to a person of Captain Chen's level.

Xiao Chonghua gave him a handwritten letter: "It is stamped with my personal seal. If I break my oath and kill you, you can let your confidant announce it to the world. I am a prince and must cherish my feathers. This is my sincere gift to Captain Chen."

Since Captain Chen was in collusion with the eldest prince, he naturally understood Xiao Chonghua's situation in the royal family.

He accepted the handwritten letter and said, "The leader has not actually entered the capital yet. I will not tell you where he is. I can only remind you that if you encounter a peach forest, do not enter it."

Guo Huan fled for three days and three nights, and was also chased for three days and three nights. During this process, he not only had to avoid the imperial army's pursuers, but also had to avoid becoming food for the wild beasts in the mountains. His wounds became inflamed and his condition was rapidly deteriorating.

He must get medical treatment quickly, otherwise his life will be in danger.

There is a peach orchard ahead.

You can’t enter the peach forest.

But... the pursuers are right behind us.

He gritted his teeth and went into the peach forest.

"Hurry! Guo Huan is over there!"

A group of pursuers chased into the peach forest.

Soon, screams of pursuers were heard from the woods.

When Su Mo arrived at the scene, the only thing left in the air was the thick smell of blood.

Su Mo held the long sword and walked into the peach forest without hesitation. -In the room where the oil lamp was dim, the man shuddered and suddenly sat up from the mattress on the floor.

"Are you awake?"

A faint male voice came from beside me.

He turned his head and saw a thin young man kneeling on a mat, drinking tea leisurely.

He didn't sense any ill will from the other person, and he looked down at his clothes.

These are not his clothes.

"Your clothes are all wet. I asked Deng An to change them for you."

Ling Yun said.

He touched his broken arm.

"I applied the medicine." Ling Yun said, "You were injured like that, didn't you see a doctor properly back then?"

The man said nothing.

He touched his disfigured face again and felt a jade mask.

Ling Yun said: "It's more convenient to wear this."

"La la la! La la la!"

Suddenly, Xiaohu's magical voice came from next door. He was playing the piano randomly... and he was definitely not playing with cotton. He was shouting and screaming with excitement while playing.

Ling Yun had actually gotten used to it, and his temples no longer throbbed.

The man seemed to be extremely frightened and wanted to find a place to hide.

Ling Yun said: "This is a secret room, they can't get in."

The man paused.

He followed the direction of the sound and came to the wall. There was a lattice there, and he could actually see out.

He stared at it blankly.

Xiaohu was playing the piano, Dahu was playing with the magnetic darts made by Su Xiaoxiao, and Erhu was showing his new Bagua stone to Wei Xiyue.

Suddenly, Wei Xiyue seemed to sense something and walked towards this side.

The man's face changed, he leaned back and fell to the ground.

Ling Yun took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, no one outside can see or hear you."

Wei Xiyue opened her eyes wide and looked into the gap.

"Sister Xiyue, Sister Xiyue, do you still want to look at my little stone?"

Erhu pulled Wei Xiyue back and refused to allow his only audience member to leave midway.

The rain stopped and the four little ones were picked up by Wei Ting and Yuchi Xiu.

"They left." Ling Yun said.

The man stood up.

Ling Yun asked, "Are you leaving too?"

The man nodded slightly, as if he wanted to say thank you, but in the end he just touched the mask.

Ling Yun took a sip of tea: "If my family member became like this, I wouldn't want him to hide, I would want to recognize him."

The man said nothing and dragged his mutilated and disfigured body out of Lingyun's yard.

The rain has become lighter.

He hid in the alley.

Yuchi Xiu carried the last little tiger head onto the carriage and said, "Hold on tight! Sir, are we going to the Imperial Observatory?"

Wei Ting: “Yeah.”

The carriage left.

Only when the sound of the carriage could no longer be heard did the man slowly come out of his emotions.

As soon as he turned around, he was blocked by Wei Ting at the entrance of the alley.

It’s the last day of the month, don’t waste your monthly ticket.
