What he was most worried about at this time was how he could convince Xia Ziying to go to the top of the Ten Thousand Snow Mountains. It was certain that he liked her, but it was too hasty to conclude that Xia Ziying liked him based on just one word from the boss. Moreover,
The destiny black bird itself is a legend. Whether it exists or not is another matter. How can you believe it? What if it goes away and never comes back? The country of Mu has not been embezzled by the country of Meng. All kinds of things seem to involve the most important person.
The serious consequences could not help but force him to be careless.
"My lord, you think a lot, and I can understand that, but seeing that our Mu country is about to be exterminated, are you still indifferent? I also know that this matter is of great importance, so you can't help but be careless.
So I have already thought about it, please take a look at this." The old man said and threw a memorial on the table.
Mu Lianlong glanced at the old man curiously, and he gestured to open it and find out. Mu Lianlong carefully picked up the memorial and read it carefully. After reading it, he understood that it actually said that he recommended himself.
As the prince, I couldn't help but feel angry. This old guy really took me seriously. He actually thought of himself. He even used this inducement to go to the top of the snow mountain to capture the destiny black bird. This was a wishful thinking.
It's really loud!
"My lord, what a good plan. I'm afraid you already knew about it when I got the Meng Kingdom to attack my Mu Kingdom. Today in the main hall, you deliberately promoted my ninth brother to be the crown prince, and now you gave me this memorial
Look, you're actually playing hard-to-get tricks with me, it's really awesome." Mu Lianlong couldn't help but get a little angry, and threw the memorial on the table with a loud sound.
"Why do you need to be angry, Your Majesty? This matter was not my idea alone, and I didn't dare to do it. Your Majesty, you are in charge of all the soldiers and horses in the country, and you have also saved my life. No matter what your intention is to save me, I will always
I owe you the favor of my life. I don’t dare to play tricks with you, regardless of emotion or reason. Is this the truth?” The old man suddenly looked serious and looked at Mu Liaolong with an innocent look on his face. He said aggrievedly.
.
"You mean there is someone behind you, could it be your father?" Mu Lianlong was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that his father was behind the conspiracy. He really didn't expect it! He couldn't help but marvel at his father.
Endless.
"Well, the prince is talented and thinks clearly. You princes are actually under the supervision of your father, so he knows every move you make. Now I have said everything that needs to be said.
It's time for you, prince, to make a decision." After saying that, the old man got up and left.
Mu Lianlong grabbed his lapel and asked, "Sir, please tell me truthfully, is the story about the fateful black bird true? If it is true, don't say that my father did it on purpose, but he just didn't play tricks.
If I have the means, I will also voluntarily go to capture the destiny black bird and save all the people from fire and water." Mu Lianlong choked deeply, with a gloomy black look on his face.
"This legend only spreads in the Western Regions. Fortunately, our ancestors once collected a book in the Western Regions, which contains all the information about this black bird. If you are really tempted, go to the back of the library
You can tell the authenticity by looking inside a red box. In fact, according to my calculation, anyone can go, but you are undoubtedly the most suitable one." After saying that, the old man sighed, and Mu Lianlong said
After letting go of his hand, the old man bowed and said goodbye, leaving Mu Lianlong sitting there alone in a daze.
After a long, long time, Mu Lianlong left the tavern in a daze. The owner saw that the guest's face was still red when he entered, but he was so absent-minded when he came out. He thought something had happened inside, but when he saw
After the subordinate threw the money over to settle the bill, he stopped talking, because there was no change inside, it was exactly the same as before. He was just surprised by the change of the man. Out of curiosity, he ran inside the house to look around and touch it.
I couldn't figure it out, so I shook my head and left.
When Mu Lianlong returned to the palace, he sat in the main hall, holding a tea cup and thinking about something. The entire hall lasted a whole day, and he sat like that from the time he came back to the evening. He was really heartbroken, not thinking about his father.
It was so terrifying. It seemed that he was lying in the palace one day ill, and his sons were looked at meticulously. It was extremely terrifying. Fortunately, he did not do anything beyond his limits, otherwise he would have lost his life.
My brain has already had its turn.
Suddenly, he remembered the mahogany box at the back of the library that the old man told him before he left. Since he was destined to go there by himself, and it was his father's wish, the contents of the box would definitely be seen by him.
Instead of feeling uneasy, it was better to go and see what was going on. Thinking of this, he walked towards the door like crazy. When the guard saw that it was already getting dark and the prince wanted to go out, he asked: "Your Majesty, is the sky dark?
It’s early, where are you going?”
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and bring the horse to me." After saying that, the guard stopped talking and hurried to lead the horse. After Mu Lianlong took the whip, he got on the horse and galloped towards the palace.
Run to the library.
The people guarding the palace got out of the way when they saw it was the Fifth Prince. Mu Lianlong galloped in. When he got to the Pavilion of the Library, he got off his horse, ran up, stood at the door, and was stunned for a moment.
Slowly opening the door, it seemed that no one had been here for a long time. The stiff sound of opening the door was mixed with a rusty friction sound, which mixed into a very strange sound, which was very loud in the middle of the night.
"Who is it? Are you coming to the library so late?" an old voice sounded.
Following the sound, he saw a skinny old man standing under the soybean-like oil lamp in the distance. He squinted and asked, after all, Mu Lianlong grew up in the palace, and the library was also a place he often visited when he was a child.
, this place has always been taken care of by retired eunuchs. It seemed that this old eunuch must be very old, so he walked over softly and said: "I am the Fifth Prince Mu Lianlong. I came here tonight to find a book.
Book."
"Oh, it's the Fifth Prince. It's such an honor. I'm going to salute you." He was about to salute Mu Lianlong. Mu Lianlong quickly supported him and said, "Old man, hurry up.
Please get up, and I will be exempted from this tonight." After saying that, he helped the old eunuch up and pressed him on the chair.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty still recognize this servant?" After saying that, the old eunuch looked at Mu Lianlong and asked.
"Are you? Are you...Eunuch Zhang?" Mu Lianlong looked at it for a long time, finally remembered something and exclaimed.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, Your Majesty, you would still recognize me. This is so touching!" As he said this, he started to cry.
"Eunuch Zhang, please stop being like this. You took me under my wing for a while when I was young. Now that I think about it, I was really naughty at that time. I had to ride on you all day long to play horse riding." Mu Lianlong said unknowingly.
I recalled the past, and the more I thought about it, the more excited I became.
"Yes, every time I see the old slave, I have to play horseback riding. Later, your father reprimanded you for this. From now on, you will not play with the old slave. Since then, the old slave has been transferred to another place.
In this place, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and I haven’t seen him in these years. The prince is so handsome, he can be called a dragon or a phoenix among men!" Eunuch Zhang looked at the handsome man in front of him with tears, thinking that he was still a handsome man more than ten years ago.
Children who didn't understand the world are now so mighty.
"Yes, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I never thought that you would be here taking care of these books. It's really hard work." Mu Lianlong also finished the task and poured a cup of tea for Eunuch Zhang and handed it to him.
"The old slave no longer has any relatives at home, and there is no place to take care of him in old age, so he asked the emperor for this job. It can be considered as a way to take care of him in old age. In the future, it will be a good choice to live here and return to the west." He actually laughed out loud as he said this.
"Eunuch Zhang's place is really a good place. It's a lot quieter. It's not as noisy as outside. Only here can we understand the true meaning of life and cultivate our moral character!" Mu Lianlong also praised it.
"Yes, to be honest, no one has come to this place for a long time. Only a few people have come here in a few months. It seems that these collections of books are just for me. You are all busy doing things.
I'm in the mood to read." As he spoke, Eunuch Zhang turned on the oil lamp a little brighter.
"How many people have come here in the past few months? Have you ever written down their faces?" Mu Lianlong asked hurriedly.
"Haha, of course. After a lot of effort, a few people came here. Why don't we take a closer look? One of them I know very well is the elder of the three dynasties. He said he was here to check some classics. He ordered people to look around for a long time. Finally,
Then he left, I don't know if they found it or not." As he said that, he shook his head helplessly, and Mu Lianlong's nerves jumped. No wonder the old man mentioned the red box at the end. It turned out that he was here too.
After searching a lot, he found it.
"Hey, by the way, the prince must be looking for some classics when he comes here. If you are looking for classics, tell me and I will help you find them. I am very familiar with the books here." Eunuch Zhang patted his chest and vowed.
said.
Mu Lianlong smiled reluctantly, comforted him and sat down, saying: "I won't bother you, old man. There are so many books here and you are so old. If you are touched, you can be injured."
I'm sorry, I'll look for it myself, I can find it, don't worry!" He walked over.
Eunuch Zhang saw that he was going to look for him. He wanted to say something, but he sighed helplessly, and then smiled slightly, "I still have a stubborn temper, and I can't change it!" He shook his head, picked up the tea and drank it.
Mu Lianlong walked straight to the bookshelf at the back. After reaching it, he started to look at them one by one. The books here had obviously been rummaged through, and many of them were new. It seemed that this old man could
I really didn't waste any time, thinking about it, and continued to look for it. It said that there was a red box, which would definitely be more conspicuous. Unfortunately, it was in this dark bookstore, and I just relied on the light in my hand.
