Xiao Congyun said with a smile: "I thought they would all be in contact with the master before, but then we checked carefully through our eyeliners and found that they really had no contact with the master."
Hu Houming laughed and said: "Second brother is so timid?"
"...That's true." Xiao Congyun said slowly.
This thing is really strange and unexpected.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.
From their point of view, it was timid, but from the second prince's point of view, it was a big deal.
Although Fakong Divine Monk is strong and has great supernatural powers, his wings are a big trouble. Not only is there no benefit to being tainted by Fakong Divine Monk, but it will also attract the emperor's jealousy.
The second prince now seems to be in a sure chance of victory, which is completely different from the situation in Prince Lun's palace. Taking this risk is not worth the gain.
Hu Houming was thoughtful and his eyes gradually brightened: "So, even if I have no hope, with the help of the master, I can have hope?"
"Exactly." Xiao Congyun said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"...It's nothing." Hu Houming waved his hand: "He is just a monk, not worth relying on."
The corners of his mouth were already raised.
In his opinion, one Fa Kong is worth countless people.
Even though he has been deprived of military power now, and even though Emperor Hu Lieyuan is not optimistic about it, as long as France and Kong help him, he can still win the throne.
Xiao Congyun chuckled and said: "Yes, he is not enough to rely on. The key is to rely on ourselves!"
"Exactly." Hu Houming nodded: "We have to rely on ourselves!"
"So we need to be well prepared. Once the second prince or the eldest prince makes a mistake, it will be our opportunity." Xiao Congyun said.
Hu Houming nodded slowly.
"By the way," Xiao Congyun frowned and said, "Master told me that there will be a catastrophe in the next few days, a great catastrophe of life and death."
"Um?"
"I wonder if Master is accurate. If there is a catastrophe, who will want to kill me?" Xiao Congyun said.
"There are many people who want to kill you." Hu Houming's face darkened, his eyes filled with angry flames: "They just want to kill them all and completely cut off my hope!"
Mr. Xiao is his confidant, his confidant among his confidants, and his most important adviser. Once he is killed, it will be like cutting off his own wings.
In addition to the second brother, I am afraid there are many brothers who want to kill Mr. Xiao.
He thought of this and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiao, if that's the case, then you will stay in the house for the next few days. Don't go back. Don't go back to the house."
"But I..."
"I will send someone to the Xiao Mansion to deliver the news, so that Mrs. Xiao and Sister Xiao can rest assured, and you can stay in the manor with peace of mind."
"...That's fine." Xiao Congyun is not a brave person, and risking his life back is the maximum limit.
It would be best to stay in the palace to avoid this disaster.
As the night grew darker, the dark clouds in the sky slowly moved, eventually covering the bright moon, and the world fell into darkness.
The palace of Prince Lun is brightly lit.
However, Prince Lun's Mansion is too big. Even if lanterns are hung everywhere, there are still corners that cannot be illuminated by light.
There are shadows in the corners.
Xiao Congyun is studying in the study room.
He is located in a small courtyard southwest of Prince Lun's Mansion, two courtyards away from the study of Prince Lun Hu Houming.
Hu Houming can come over at any time, and after speaking, he will go back to his study or bedroom, so that the two of them can discuss important matters.
Xiao Congyun put down the book, stood up and opened the window.
The cool night breeze slowly drifted in, cooling his body and internal organs, and refreshing him.
He looked up at the dark night sky, shook his head and smiled.
Although the prince is now plunged into darkness, it is not as dark and lightless as the night sky now.
There is a bright moon hanging in the night sky.
As long as you keep a good eye on the bright moon, you won't lose your way.
At this time, a black shadow slowly squirmed in the shadow of the corner, slowly moved closer to the small courtyard, and then moved close to the wall of the small courtyard.
Two black shadows clung to the wall, completely integrated with the wall, and slid silently into the small courtyard, staying in the shadow of the corner.
Xiao Congyun stood in front of the window, raising his head and looking quietly at the dark night sky, waiting for the bright moon to shine through the dark clouds.
He was so focused that he didn't notice the two black figures approaching.
He never thought that someone could sneak into Prince Lun's Mansion. The defense of Prince Lun's Mansion was so tight that it would be difficult for even a mosquito to fly in.
The guards of the palace were divided into several groups, forming several layers of siege. Even if one layer of defense could be broken through, there would still be several layers left.
If you want to break through several layers of defense, it is almost impossible to sneak in silently, and there is a grand master in the mansion.
If a Grand Master had sneaked in, it would have been detected long ago. If it was not a Grand Master, it would not cause much harm.
He stared intently at the night sky until two black lights suddenly shot into the window, one black light hit his heart, and another black light hit his throat.
His eyes suddenly widened and his mouth opened wide, wanting to scream, but no sound came out, so he put his hands on his throat.
Two black shadows stuck to the outside of the window sill, moved quickly, followed the shadow into the shadow of the courtyard wall, then went up along the courtyard wall, climbed over and then slid down, leaving his small courtyard silently.
Then he quietly sneaked out of Prince Lun's Mansion and disappeared into the dark night.
Xiao Congyun's eyes widened, full of unwillingness.
He thought about what Fa Kong said, that he would have a great calamity.
But I never expected that this calamity would happen within the palace, and even if I hid in the palace, I would not be able to avoid this calamity.
Is his life going to end here?
Die here silently, and by the time others find out, you will be cold and stiff?
Why don't you stay in Shenjing?
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
In this life, I originally wanted to assist a prince to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne. It was enough for him to do so, and he no longer had to dominate and govern the world.
It has been planned to retire after the success, hide in the city, and enjoy the rest of the happy life.
It's a pity that my ambition has not been fulfilled, but I have to die here. I am really unwilling to accept it, so unwilling to do so!
He screamed in his heart, but his body went limp and lost strength, and his eyesight turned black.
Immediately, his vision began to shake, and his body shook uncontrollably. Finally, he landed on the table in front of the window with a bang, then slid off the table and lay down on the ground.
He raised his head and looked at the caisson. It turned black gradually, and he could no longer see the caisson clearly.
My end has come!
He gritted his teeth and reluctantly wanted to hold himself up and make some noise to catch the murderer.
He had the intention but was powerless. His body was as heavy as a mountain. He couldn't even move his fingers. He had completely lost control.
The darkness slowly surged up, and I tried my best to resist it, but couldn't resist it. It was like a huge wave, spreading flatly and unstoppable.
He gradually passed out.
Just when he was about to fall into a complete coma, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then a warmth came from his wrist, getting warmer and warmer.
It was as if I had soaked in a hot spring, the darkness and cold were completely driven away, and my spirit became stronger and stronger.
"Ahem!" He coughed hard several times and spit out a mouthful of dirty blood. Then he touched his throat and pulled out a thin dark green needle stuck in his throat. He looked at it twice. It was as thin as a cow's hair and had a finger.
.
Then he lowered his head and looked at his heart. A thin needle was also inserted into his heart. After he pulled it out, he found that the lengths of the two needles were different.
As the two needles were pulled out, his throat and heart felt intense itching. He wanted to scratch it hard, but he resisted and knew that the wound was growing.
