When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

He was very worried about this man, because bandits were not good people at all.

However, seeing that Xie Jiu was very persistent, Wei Dong did not say anything, but just ordered the guards around him to pay more attention to Zhang Laoliu and not to give him the chance to escape or hurt Xie Jiu.

Xie Jiu looked at Wei Dong's various thoughtful arrangements for him and felt that it was really a sweet burden.

It was really sweet, and he was enjoying Weidong's special care in every aspect.

It is a real burden. He still wants to do his own things, but he is protected by Weidong's people. What can he do under his nose?

Xie Jiu could only endure the agony until the night. After Wei Dong fell asleep, he got up gently, jumped onto the roof from the window, stepped carefully and lightly, and then disappeared into the dark night in a few steps.

General Xiao has his own general's mansion in the border town, where he lives with his grandson Xiao Jingxing.

There were guards standing at the door of the general's mansion. Xie Jiu found a gap to avoid the mobile guards and entered the general's mansion directly from the top of the wall. When he was at a high place, he saw the layout of the general's mansion.

This place cannot be compared with the General's Mansion in Kyoto. It is just a three-courtyard building. The lights in the main room are brightly on. It seems that General Xiao has not rested yet.

There are more guards on duty in this yard. Xie Jiu is a little worried about how he can meet General Xiao smoothly without alerting the enemy!

Xiao Jingxing came out from a small courtyard at the side. He was about to go to his grandfather's room when he was seen by Xie Jiu, whose eyes lit up.

He came from behind the tree and hugged Xiao Jingxing, who was passing by, into his arms, and covered Xiao Jingxing's mouth with his other hand.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Jingxing, who had reacted quickly, elbowed him hard in the chest.

Xie Jiu almost cried out in pain, and he quickly said in a low voice: "I am the King of Dongshan, don't do it, I want to find your grandfather."

Then he quickly rubbed his chest which was hurt by Xiao Jingxing's beating, with a distorted expression of pain on his face.

Xiao Jingxing: Who did I see? Where am I? Who am I?

This world is so mysterious!

Looking at the grinning man, it is hard to imagine that he is the King of Dongshan?

Isn’t King Dongshan dead?

Although the emperor has not accepted the reality and is still sending people to look for him, everyone actually thinks that King Dongshan is no longer in this world.

Otherwise, it has been so long that there wouldn’t be no news at all.

But the person in front of me said he was the King of Dongshan?

The credibility of being sneaky is not very high.

However, this person had no ill intentions. He let go after he finished speaking, but continued to rub his chest.

Xiao Jingxing was still looking Xie Jiu up and down, and Xie Jiu understood everything. This kid didn't know him. Well, he was a very low-key person, and few people would remember him even if they had met him.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is just a prince of low status, at most giving the impression of a wealthy and idle person.

However, a prince who is not favored and cannot even achieve wealth and honor has no need to be remembered.

Xie Jiu smiled helplessly and spread his hands:

"I am really the King of Dongshan. I would not do anything to harm you in your yard. I really have something to ask General Xiao, but I don't want to make a big fuss, so I resorted to this last resort."

Xiao Jingxing waved his hand and called his guards to look at Xie Jiu. He apologized:

"I'll inform my grandfather first. You wait here for me."

The words were polite, but he did not completely believe Xie Jiu's words, otherwise he would not have called him King of Dongshan. But the result was good.

Just keep a low profile.

Xie Jiu stood quietly beside the big tree and waited, without doing anything inappropriate.

Xiao Jingxing then hurried away and went into the main hall to report to General Xiao.

After a while, General Xiao came out in casual clothes. Although most of his hair was gray, his eyes were very sharp.

From a distance, you can feel his captivating gaze.

King Dongshan clasped his hands together and saluted to General Xiao as a junior, then looked at him with a smile without saying anything else.

General Xiao looked around and felt relieved when he saw that the guards were standing at their posts. He asked in a low voice, "Where are you from?"

Do you know that the emperor is looking for you all over the world, and you just show up here? Don’t you know how serious the consequences will be?

King Dongshan said helplessly: "It's a long story, hard to tell in one sentence, can I go inside and talk?"

General Xiao really didn't want to receive such a hot potato, but since the person was here, he couldn't kick him out. After all, he was a prince, and there was a difference between the monarch and his subjects, so he still had to respect him.

General Xiao was not very willing to bring people into the study. He sent everyone else away and only paid his respects to King Dongshan when his grandson was around.

Prince Dongshan quickly supported the old general and exempted him from the courtesy: "General Xiao, you are trying to embarrass me. You are the pillar of the country, and I am just an idle prince. I dare not accept your courtesy."

General Xiao had no choice but to clasp his fists and perform a simple salute before allowing his grandson to pay his respects to King Dongshan. This time King Dongshan did not dodge and accepted the kowtow from General Xiao.

After everyone sat down, without waiting for the old general to ask, King Dongshan himself stated his purpose:

"General Xiao, I'm sure you've heard about my assassination attempt. I was originally ordered to come to the border town, but I didn't expect to be killed as soon as I got to Ji'an. Everyone around me was killed. I was seriously injured despite the protection of the secret guards. Fortunately, I was rescued by a caravan and taken to the grassland."

General Xiao thought to himself: So that's how it is. No wonder the emperor couldn't find the person for so long. It turns out that the person was taken out of the border by the caravan.

Prince Dongshan sneered, "I never thought that someone would go to such great lengths to kill a prince as insignificant as me. I just can't understand it no matter how hard I think about it."

Indeed, Prince Dongshan was just a marginal figure in the court. Why was he silenced with such great fuss? Many people originally guessed that it was the emperor, but later felt that it was completely unnecessary.

Moreover, the emperor suppressed many memorials calling for a direct funeral for Prince Dongshan, and his actions of constantly looking for someone clearly showed that the emperor did not want anything to happen to his brother.

"Until the caravan I was in ran into a group of bandits who captured a man named Zhang Laoliu. He said he was originally a soldier in the Border Town Patrol Battalion, and his team was killed by the men in black. He was the only one who escaped because of a stomachache."

When General Xiao heard that they were border guards, he looked sharply at King Dongshan, and King Dongshan looked back at General Xiao with a frank look.

It just so happened that he didn't lie, so there was nothing to avoid.

General Xiao frowned and thought for a while, then asked King Dongshan, "Did you bring back Zhang Laoliu, the man you captured on the grassland?"

He wanted to see the person alive and interrogate him personally to confirm whether what King Dongshan said was true.
