The wind blows the plum blossoms over Guanshan

The civil strife subsided in just a few days, but the rebellious King Fengxiang was nowhere to be found, which made many ministers and common people of the Yan Kingdom feel uneasy.And Chang Sheng who participated in the rebellion seemed to be forgotten, Murong Zhaohui didn't mention it anymore, no matter how the subordinates wrote a letter of impeachment, he would remain silent.But Meng Changsheng indeed disappeared in the court, and he was no longer seen in the palace.There were rumors that he had been executed in secret, but more people said that His Majesty was reluctant to execute him because of old feelings, but imprisoned him in a part of the inner courtyard of the deep palace.

Changsheng stood on the top of the gilded high hall, and it was cool at night with the wind blowing.It's already autumn, and the summer flowers in the imperial garden have already withered, but the chrysanthemums are in full bloom.A man in black came from behind and landed lightly and delicately near him. Chang Sheng turned around and recognized him as Li Qing.

"Young Master Changsheng, don't come here unharmed."

Changsheng had no expression on his face, and said to the dark night sky, "Just call me Changsheng."

After Jiang Ling was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he seldom took care of the hidden guards. He only showed up during the selection of talents and assessments. The rest of the time, this invisible team was managed by Li Qing. Huo makes decisions when Li Qing is away.Jiang Huo is Jiang Ling's cousin, very young, only two years older than Chang Sheng.He joined the dark guard at the age of 17, and his martial arts are superb. He had a chance to become the leader of the dark guard, but Murong Zhaohui unexpectedly valued Li Qing more.

"Have you gotten used to it recently?"

Chang Sheng only said: "It feels good to stand on the top of the hall and blow the wind."

He is currently at the same level as Li Qing in name, but in fact he is not yet familiar with the operation of the hidden guards, so most of the things are still handled by Li Qing, he is just an idler.His mission is to guard Murong Zhaohui.There are 30 secret guards in the palace, and 20 people who collect intelligence outside the palace.There are two tests and two selections every year, and the team has been maintained at about 50 people.The kung fu of these hidden guards is weird and strange, each has its own unique skills, there are many people who are comparable to him, and Li Qing in front of him should be better than him in kung fu.

A slight whistle came from the direction of Qingxin Hall, Chang Sheng knew that it was Murong Zhaohui who was looking for him.Changsheng jumped down, fell into the inconspicuous woods, avoided everyone's eyes and ears, and flashed into the Qingxin Hall.Every day when Murong Zhaohui returned to Qingxin Hall, he always closed the door tightly, no one was allowed to guard the two sides of the door, and all the imperial guards stood far away.The emperor only rang the silver bell when he needed someone to serve him, and outsiders were not allowed to enter the rest of the time.In fact, Murong Zhaohui didn't like people coming in before, but now the rules are stricter, so it doesn't arouse suspicion.

In fact, Changsheng spent the rest of his life in the Palace of Pure Heart apart from performing his duty as a secret guard. Murong Zhaohui would whistle for him to come immediately if he couldn't see him when he was free.Changsheng felt a little helpless, but he had no choice but to do so.But when Murong Zhaohui slowly talked to him about the loneliness in his youth, Changsheng was so fond of that lonely appearance, and almost forgot all the unpleasant things he did to him.He thought maybe this is the torment of love, both sweet and painful.

Murong Zhaohui had just finished taking a bath, wearing moon white silk clothes, sitting on the edge of the bed holding the news from ahead.Chang Sheng approached softly, Murong Zhaohui raised his head, said softly: "You're here." Then he lowered his head again.Changsheng nodded and sat down beside him.He had read all the information in Murong Zhaohui's hands, most of which were collected secretly by the secret guards, and Jiangling was responsible for collecting information in the open.

"The world is in turmoil, and the Wulin seems to be unstable. Many people from the Wulin are gathered near Dragon City, something is not quite right."

Changsheng said: "In the past, the martial arts meetings were all held in Dongting, and the martial arts meetings held in other places are not as powerful as here. This time, there are a large number of martial arts people gathered near Longcheng. It is indeed a bit wrong. It is said that Due to the civil strife, several sects moved from the west to the east, and just happened to settle near Longcheng. In addition, since the martial arts conference has not been held for a long time, they posted a post to invite other martial arts people to come and gather, and a lot of people gathered in a short time."

Murong Zhaohui said: "I'm worried that someone will take advantage of the chaos and do something. You go out with a few people tomorrow to have a look, and come back within two days."

"it is good."

Murong Zhaohui lay down on the bed, stared at the ceiling and said to himself: "I don't know where that guy Murong Jianing went, but these days are enough for him to escape to the Huns. He is quite courageous, stronger than his brother." .”

"The most dangerous place is the safest place, maybe he is in a corner of Dragon City, operating secretly."

Murong Zhaohui turned his head to look at him, and said, "It's not impossible, but we checked several times, both openly and secretly, but we couldn't find him. What time is it now?"

Chang Sheng glanced at the watch on the table, and said, "Xu Shi three quarters."

"It's still early, I'll go take a look at that person, you call Li Qing."

Murong Zhaohui changed his clothes, tied up his hair, and was protected by Jiang Ling himself, and went to the place where no one went to the inner courtyard of the deep palace.This place is ten times more desolate than the former Cuiyu Palace, the surrounding weeds are overgrown and left unattended, the palace walls are mottled with vermilion paint that has not been painted for a long time, and the atmosphere is eerie.This is the cold palace where the abandoned concubine was imprisoned in the past. For decades, no abandoned concubine has lived here, and all of them have been abandoned.Chang Sheng and Li Qing showed up and walked behind them when they were far away from the place where the palace people were on duty at night. They opened the mottled rich door and walked through the long dark corridor. The light inside was dim, and oil lamps were lit every two meters.But even so, it's terribly dark here.

There were no guards outside. When entering, there was a hidden guard guarding the door. After seeing several people, they knelt down and did not make a sound. After walking in, there were prison cells. The railings were all made of fine iron, and the floor was very hard rock. , as long as it is locked, the people inside cannot escape.

In the innermost room, there were two hidden guards outside the door. Simple basic daily necessities were placed, and some dry straw was spread on the ground. The space was not large, and it took less than ten steps to go back and forth.The prison is very cold and humid, and after being locked up in this kind of place for a long time, one must suffer from rheumatism.There was one person lying on the simple bed, with his back facing them, curled up, Chang Sheng knew that he was Murong Dexin.He knew that Murong Dexin was imprisoned somewhere in the palace by Murong Zhaohui, but he had never seen him with his own eyes, and Murong Zhaohui rarely saw him.From the back view, Murong Dexin is much thinner than before, and looks a little pitiful.After all, he used to be the son of heaven. Now that this place is so poor and dark and there are people guarding it all the time, he might feel worse than dying.Thinking of his high-spirited appearance in the past, Chang Sheng only felt that things were different.

Jiang Ling knocked on the iron railing with the iron lock on the door, and Murong Dexin slowly got up on the bed, and the moment he saw Murong Zhaohui, he immediately rushed over and stared at him viciously.Chang Sheng heard the rustling sound of iron chains, he looked down, and it turned out that Murong Dexin's right foot was still locked with an iron chain, and the other end was locked on the wooden bed where he was sleeping.Jiang Ling stood in front of Murong Zhaohui, and Murong Dexin stretched out his hand like crazy, and shouted: "Murong Zhaohui! You son of a bitch, what are you doing here again! Just kill me!" His voice was extremely hoarse, immortal. I think it's probably because he screams so often.

"Presumptuous!" Jiang Ling took a step forward, pressing the unsheathed dagger to his throat.

"Jiangling, don't worry about it." Murong Zhaohui asked Jiangling to step aside, and looked directly at Murong Dexin: "Your Majesty Ren, I don't know what to complain about. I give you delicious food and drink, and let people wait on you. I always think about it." What did you do to kill yourself? To be honest, your brother has really caused me a headache recently."

Hearing the news about Murong Jianing, Murong Dexin immediately calmed down, holding onto the railings, they hurriedly asked, "What happened to him? Where is Jianing?"

"I'm afraid your younger brother wanted to save you, but joined forces with the Huns to rebel and caused me a lot of trouble."

Murong Dexin stared at Murong Zhaohui for a while, then laughed wildly: "Hahaha, I'm afraid you can't find him, right?"

Murong Zhaohui didn't deny it either, and said, "Exactly."

"So, you want to ask me?"

"How is it possible, you don't know anything when you are locked up here, I ask you what to do."

Murong Dexin stopped smiling, and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

"I will see you in the future for a long time, just come and walk around. You don't have to think about it. When the country is not in chaos, I can consider changing you to a smaller yard so that you can see the sun and have a place to walk around, but there are still guards. "

Murong Dexin sat back, turned her back to Murong Zhaohui and said, "Don't be hypocritical there, you just want to make me suffer, and you only want to restrain Jianing."

Murong Zhaohui didn't deny it, and said, "It's good that you understand."

Murong Zhaohui stopped talking to Murong Dexin, and instead asked the two hidden guards next to him: "Does he eat on time on weekdays?"

The dark guard lowered his head and replied, "Sometimes I eat and sometimes I don't."

"If he doesn't eat in the future, he will still be the same as when he first came here. If he misses a meal, he will be given twenty lashes."

"Yes!"

When Murong Zhaohui said those words, Chang Sheng saw Murong Dexin's back trembling slightly in the dark cell, and quickly regained his composure.Murong Zhaohui continued: "Murong Dexin, if you die, be careful that I will pull Empress Rende out and whip the corpse."

Chang Sheng's body suddenly felt cold, even though he knew that Murong Zhaohui was trying to scare Murong Dexin, he still felt a little scary.

Murong Dexin in the prison kept silent, with his back to them, unable to see his expression, Chang Sheng knew that he must have hated Murong Zhaohui to the core, and at the same time hated him to the core.Murong Zhaohui is not a docile sheep, he remembers clearly who treats him well and who treats him badly.It is impossible for Murong Zhaohui not to hold grudges against Murong Dexin when he was so run on him in his youth.For a person as high as Murong Dexin, the greatest revenge for him is to trample him under his feet, making him see the light of day, so this small cell is his revenge for Murong Dexin.

After seeing Murong Dexin, several people left the cold palace, Chang Sheng and Li Qing hid again, and Jiang Ling escorted him back to Qingxin Palace.Seeing Murong Zhaohui take off his clothes and call him to sit beside him, Chang Sheng felt a little inexplicable feeling in his heart, he became more and more afraid of Murong Zhaohui, he felt that Murong Zhaohui was not something he could influence.He has always controlled himself, his love is imprisonment, his hatred is also imprisonment, Changsheng feels afraid.

Seeing that Chang Sheng was absent-minded, Murong Zhaohui asked, "Chang Sheng, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a little tired."

"Do you think I'm cruel?"

Changsheng shook his head, then nodded.

"For him, torturing him slowly like this is indeed much more painful than killing him with a sword. But it is useful for me to keep him. If he is willing to obey obediently, I will not embarrass him. He just lived When I went in, I searched for death every now and then, if I hadn’t frightened him like this, he would have died long ago.”

Chang Sheng nodded and said, "I know."

Murong Zhaohui pulled Changsheng's back and made Changsheng look at him: "I know I'm sorry for you, but I really don't want you to leave, I just hope you don't hate me too much."

Chang Sheng said silently: "I understand,"
