The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

The sudden words "It is easy to do something but not to do it" scared the two of them, and they almost thought that Gu Junming had woken up.

"Nothing!"

After the examination, Ji Qianrou cursed inwardly. She patted her chest lightly and said with lingering fear:

"I can't sleep peacefully, even the 'walking is easy and invisible' has come out. What is this? Is this a dream?"

"My dear brother, you always sleep soundly. I think you must be having a nightmare..."

Zhang Daoxu scratched his head and said uncertainly.

"Who knows."

Ji Qianrou rolled her eyelids and said nonchalantly, "No matter what dream he has, waking up quickly is the real thing."

"Qian Rou...Cai...still needs to practice..."

Gu Junming murmured again, his tone sounding somewhat contemptuous, as if he was provoking.

Ji Qianrou's face darkened immediately.

If Zhang Daoxu hadn't been there to persuade her kindly, she would have wanted to strangle Gu Junming to wake him up right now.

"Brother...donkey...deserves to be single..."

"I have a strong hand, so you should do it, otherwise you will strangle me to death if you lose control."

Zhang Daoxu said expressionlessly.

Ji Qianrou's eyes twitched slightly, but she did not pinch Gu Junming to wake him up as Brother Zhang said.

But the bridge is finally closed.

When he wakes up, he will have something to worry about!

Gu Junming was afraid that he would not wake up for a while, and Ji Qianrou did not force him.

Try to calm down and wait silently...

It was late at night again and everyone was asleep.

Xiao Jianxin followed the route he remembered and quietly reached the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The lights are still on here, obviously no one is asleep yet.

According to what Old Poison said, Zuo Duo later became a disciple of the national teacher, and under the order of the Lord of Dalong State, he and You Xian became the personal guards of the young princess.

If the Little Dragon Emperor is not the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the little princess, then the Imperial Master is the only one who is suspected of this.

Xiao Jianxin climbed up to the eaves on tiptoe, restrained his breath, hid in the darkness, carefully lifted a piece of brick and tile, and peeked at the two people playing chess in the mansion.

When he saw the face of one of them clearly, Xiao Jianxin's pupils suddenly shrank and he was surprised. How could it be him!

The imperial teacher Lu Zheng was seen holding a white piece, observing the situation on the chessboard and thinking about how to move the white piece.

On the chessboard, the black pieces are aggressive and want to swallow the dragon into their belly. Although the white pieces are in a passive position, they have not been completely defeated and still have a glimmer of hope!

But Lu Zheng was hesitant and could not make a decision. Finally, he sighed softly.

Or put the white piece in an insignificant position and let the black piece devour the dragon...

Now that things have come to this, there is no regret in making this move.

"I'm tired today, let's stop here."

Lu Zheng sighed softly and looked unwell, as if he had overworked recently.

"I'll see you off."

Imperial Preceptor Qi Bowen nodded, then calmly stood up and escorted Lu Zheng all the way to the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

Stand in front of the door.

Looking at Lu's increasingly hunched back, Qi Bowen shook his head slightly and muttered to himself:

"No one wants this to happen, but the arrow is on the string and must be released. For the sake of the people of Dalong, sacrificing the small self for the sake of the greater self...it's all worth it."

Qi Bowen turned around and returned home. Just as he was about to put away the chessboard, he inadvertently noticed that the position of the white piece seemed to have shifted two squares to the left.

Standing on the dragon's head.

"Strange, did I remember it wrong?"

Qi Bowen frowned and looked around, but there was no one else here except him.

He reached out for the white piece, but just as he was about to touch it, he suddenly stopped, then changed his mind and started to clean up from the black piece, picking it up one by one.

He murmured, "This is a replay of time, and also a test for Dalong."

"If there were gods in this world, they would surely listen to the wishes of the people and help Dalong overcome this difficulty."

The national teacher only mentioned the big dragon, without adding the word royal family at the end. His heart was also with the great nation that was suffering in dire straits.

Just as Guan Qiu from Wanbaozhai said.

Facing ghosts and monsters.

The monk still has the strength to fight. Even if he is defeated, he can measure the gap between the two and retreat calmly.

But it is difficult for ordinary people who lack the corresponding knowledge. Not only do they have to support their families, but they also have poor clothes and food.

Just to survive is enough.

Not to mention facing the foxy nightmare directly?

"Now the evil is rampant and getting worse."

"The Little Dragon Emperor harbors resentment towards Your Majesty, but thankfully he didn't take advantage of the chaos to rise up against us."

"I've heard recently that he traveled around, secretly alleviating the worries of the people. He just returned to Wujiang these past two days..."

"The title of young general is well deserved."

Qi Bowen was talking to himself, completely unaware that there was another person lurking right above his head.

When the Great Dragon Master talked about the Little Dragon Emperor, the frown on his face relaxed a little.

But still revealed a deep sadness.

this time.

Qi Bowen paid his respects and wanted to meet the King of Dalong more than once, but the latter always ignored him.

The last few times were more.

All he got in return was a sentence "I have my own plan in mind, and you just need to act according to the plan, Imperial Master."

Although I have some complaints, there is nothing I can do.

Xiao Jianxin hid on the beam and listened a lot, but the imperial teacher did not mention a word about the little princess.

But since Lu Zheng appeared here, according to him, the little princess is the key to stopping everything.

From the current perspective, the Imperial Master is most likely the person behind the incident who ordered Zuo Duo to kidnap the little princess.

The imperial teacher might have also participated!

But...why on earth?

Xiao Jianxin suddenly thought of the Little Dragon Emperor.

Just now, the Imperial Master was thankful that the Little Dragon King didn't take advantage of the chaos to rise up. Does this mean...

Has the highest authority in Qishi Mansion already accumulated enough power to overthrow the Dalong royal family?

Between the little princess and the little dragon emperor.

Is there any conflict of interest?

With doubts in my heart.

Xiao Jianxin quietly hid his figure, left this place in the dark, and returned to Qi Shi Mansion.

He had wanted to go see if the old poisoner was asleep and learn some information, but when he came back he found...

The gate of his residence was pushed open, and there seemed to be a broad figure sitting in the yard.

Could it be the Little Dragon Emperor?

Xiao Jianxin immediately became alert, and through the gap in the open door, he secretly observed the man with his back to him, who always had a stern face.

Because I have never seen the true appearance of the Little Dragon Emperor with my own eyes.

Therefore, Xiao Jianxin was unable to confirm whether this person was the Little Dragon Emperor himself.

But what he didn't know was that the two had actually met in Wujiang City.

Even Ji Cang was still thinking about it.

If Xiao Jianxin could come back alive, he would personally invite him to join the Qi Shi Mansion.

"Are you Yang Yi?"
