The autumn night is cool.

The bright moon in the sky is like water, reflecting Zong Zhengshen's handsome face a little pale.

He hesitated for a moment and finally said what he wanted to say.

"Zhong Jiuchou left this time for her."

Ran Shaotang's face was as usual, but his dark eyes were a little cold: "Oh?" Her tone turned, and there was a hint of dullness and thinness in the quiet night.

Zong Zhengshen stared at her reaction. Although he despised his unkindness, he felt that a real man was not careful in his work. In order to clear the obstacles between him and Ran Shaotang, he made a decision.

"Shi Hanzhang is the childhood sweetheart of the young master. She and Xuanyuan Zheng's son ascended the throne at the age of four, and the other two princes were dissatisfied and wanted to rebel. Zhong Jiuchou went back this time to help her calm the chaos."

Ran Shaotang knew that Zhong Jiuchou was Shi Xi's adopted son, and felt that his personality went back to help Shi Hanzhang, who grew up together since childhood, was understandable.

"He told me that Shi Hanzhang was his sister. For his adoptive father's grace, he should also help her."

"What he told you?"

“Is there any problem?”

"The so-called brothers and sisters of the opposite sex are all pretexts made by lovers in order to blind the eyes of the world." Zong Zhengshen sneered.

Ran Shaotang didn't know where the evil fire came from, and he said to him: "Even a lover has nothing to do with you. Is it interesting to say bad things about others behind your back, a big man?"

Zong Zhengshen felt depressed when he heard her protection for Zhong Jiuchou.

"It has nothing to do with me. But it has something to do with you."

"What does it have to do with me? What do you worry about if I don't know anything about it?" Ran Shaotang stared at Zong Zhengshen with confidence.

Zong Zhengshen heard this and was both happy and suspicious.

It would be great if it was really as Ran Shaotang said. Just think that he had a wrong premonition.

However, when she heard that Zhong Jiuchou left without saying goodbye to help Shi Hanzhang, the obvious loss in her eyes was an unconcealable loss.

Could it be that she is not right?

"I hope it has nothing to do with you. I'm in vain."

Ran Shaotang sneered: "What do you mean?"

Zong Zhengshen also sneered: "It's what you mean."

Ran Shaotang stared at Zong Zhengshen alertly.

She remembered that she was in the back house in her first life, and occasionally heard her father and mother talking about it. Emperor Gao Xi was just a puppet, and the one who was in power was the Regent Xuanyuan Yin.

Moreover, the relationship between Xuanyuan Yin and the Empress Dowager is somewhat ambiguous...

Now I think about it, the Empress Dowager and the little emperor's orphan and widowed mother, King Xiao and King Ye are surrounded by each other and are eyeing each other. If she wants to survive, she has something to do with the Regent, which is her wise move.

Although she did not agree with such a relationship, these two people had nothing to do with her. They would do whatever they like, so why should she worry about this?

If there is an abnormal relationship between the Queen Mother and the Regent, then Zhong Jiuchou will naturally be the one that Shi Hanzhang abandoned.

No wonder a few days ago?                                                            

When she mentioned the relationship between the Queen Mother and him? He looked very unhappy.

For this, he even made a few words, "Some things can be joked about? Some things cannot. Don't let me hear these words again next time"? It seems that King Xiang is interested? The goddess is ruthless.

Zong Zhengshen was a little surprised, why Ran Shaotang suddenly held the corner of his mouth and smiled.

What is this girl thinking?

"why are you laughing?"

"You care too if I laugh? I'm going to care too much."

"Is this for your own good? Don't look at the wrong person? I'm sincere."

This sentence is like a sharp sword slashing Ran Shaotang's heart.

The smile on her face quickly faded away.

His tone also became cold: "Zong Zhengshen, don't hide it. What do you want to say?"

She became increasingly suspicious that Zong Zhengshen had noticed her daughter.

I wonder if she would rewrite the history of Kyushu if she killed him?

At that moment, Zong Zhengshen actually saw a trace of murderous intent in her eyes.

A pain in my heart.

Still waiting for further advice? But I saw a sudden roar from the east? Immediately, there was a fire, and the sound of fighting was overwhelming to my ears.

Ran Shaotang also saw the abnormality there, screamed "Not good", and turned around and ran to the yard where Gu Wanjiao was imprisoned.

Zong Zhengshen also knew something big was happening, so he whistled at the dark night? He also flew to chase Ran Shaotang.

Song Ao, who had been following the two, looked at the fire that had been around for half the sky, and was not afraid that Zong Zhengshen would find his whereabouts? He used his light skills to go towards Ran Shaotang.

Zong Zhengshen looked at the figure that surpassed him, and his eyes narrowed down.

When Ran Shaotang arrived, the fire in the yard was out of control. Although the fire was organized to be put to put out in an orderly manner in time? There was still no sign of weakening.

"Have we all been out?" Ran Shaotang frowned and looked at the fire. Asked Sanqi. This was definitely not an accident.

Sanqi lowered his head guiltily: "I'm sorry, young master? Several secret guards died. More than twenty people broke in. Our secret guards had just dug the dungeon and were still resting. Four people were left here, and the other party took advantage of the loophole."

Ran Shaotang felt a little sad. These secret guards were carefully trained by her, so they could not sacrifice in vain. She glanced at Song Ao who was rushing to the scene and asked Sanqi: "Where is the bone Wancao?"

Sanqi replied in a low voice: "He was rescued."

"Hmph, the other party is prepared. I was careless." Ran Shaotang looked at the arrogant fire and felt that he was burned by the heat of the flames, and was upset and angry.

Sanqi was very uneasy. He didn't take anyone to watch, and he didn't say that Gu Wanhao had saved him, and he even died of several brothers. He really had no face to face Ran Shaotang.

Zong Zhengshen stood next to Ran Shaotang, felt the heat of the fire, frowned and said, "This is not an ordinary fire. Did they pour tincture oil?"

Guo Xia, who had fought with the enemy, walked up and said, "It's not tinea oil, it's gunpowder. After they saved the people, they lit the gunpowder that had been placed in the corner of the wall. Fortunately, Brother Sanqi and I were running fast. The other brothers were fighting with their people and didn't have time to run, so they..."

Ran Shaotang had sharp eyes and clenched his fists tightly: "Are you saying that the other party actually ignored his own life and death?"

Guo Xia's leg was hit by the gravel from the blown-up gunpowder, and blood was still flowing. He held the wound with his hands and nodded with difficulty: "Yes, these people use human lives as a joke. If those people were not dragging us, those secret guard brothers would not have died."

Zong Zhengshen had a deep gaze: "It seems that Gu Wandao is very important to them. He will not hesitate to exchange his life for it."

Ran Shaotang turned his head and sneered at him: "Where is your five thousand army? How can you protect your Rui King? You actually let the enemy sneak in so easily? Don't be a traitor."

Zong Zhengshen was also angry and called out "Comeone" and Meng De immediately stepped forward to obey the order.

Zong Zhengshen said "go to investigate", and Meng De said yes and retreated.

The fire did not weaken at all, but instead licked the yard next to it.
