Morning and evening white-haired man

In one night, the country changed hands. It was a big joke that no one could have imagined. Seeing the corpses and blood all over the palace, Xiao Shi couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Shangguan Hong went out, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Shi who was following behind him, Xiao Shi followed immediately, and said next to Shangguan Hong,

"Now as long as I can find Ruan Dong, nothing will happen."

If Xiaoshi didn't remind himself, Shangguan Hong probably couldn't remember that there was Ruan Dong for a while, and he was really speechless to his own head.

Shangguan Hong thought about what the six princes had said before, that Ruan Dong was in the hands of the emperor, of course it was the former emperor, and then he remembered that he had put the defeated emperor in the prison just now, so he brought Xiao Shi He hurriedly walked towards the prison.

Shangguan Hong, who was only focused on walking towards the prison, followed Xiao Shi and the two of them, how could they notice that there was a pair of eyes watching him behind him, observing their every move.

That person is the current emperor. The emperor stands on the high city wall, looking leisurely at the two people who are hurrying down below. Of course he knows why they are going and what they are going to do, so he reveals a very uncomfortable look. smile, one man said to himself,

"You will come to beg me, and then don't blame me for turning my face and denying people."

After speaking, he walked away.

prison.

Shangguan Hong walked to the door of the prison where his father was imprisoned without a trace of expression, and stood there looking at the disfigured father inside, as if looking at a stranger, without a trace of emotion.

Xiao Shi was also standing there, but all he could think about was where Ruan Dong was now and what was going on.How could Xiaoshi care about the mood of the people imprisoned inside?

The old emperor, who was alone in annoyance, lowered his head, and suddenly heard a sound, and saw a pair of feet appearing in his sight, so he quickly raised his head to look over, saw that it was Shangguan Honghou, and lowered his head again, The hoarse voice said,

"Old man, I know you hate me, I don't blame you, I have expected that today's scene will happen, I will fall into your hands, and I will have some face to see your mother after I die .”

Shangguan Hong sneered dismissively and said,

"You are not worthy, even if you are hacked into pieces, you are not worthy. You will never be able to repay the debt you owe my mother in this life."

After the old emperor heard this, his heart was broken. He knew that he was sorry for his second and fifth children, and he also guessed that they would hate him, but he didn't expect that they would hate him so much. Thinking of this, he burst into tears.

How could Shangguan Hong and Xiao Shi follow the old emperor's tricks? Thinking of how cruel and ruthless they were when they sentenced Concubine Ruo to death, without leaving a trace of old friendship, what's the use of pretending to be pitiful now.

Xiao Shi couldn't stand it anymore, and yelled at the old emperor in the cell,

"You don't have to pretend to be pitiful here, I knew it would be like this, why did you go there in the first place, if it wasn't because of you,"

Xiao Shi remembered that time back then, when Concubine Ruo was stabbed to death, Shangguan Hong was dispatched to the frontier, and he was directly expelled from the palace.

As soon as he said this, Shangguan Hong immediately interrupted Xiao Shi's words,

"Don't say any more."

Shangguan Hong didn't want to recall that period of time anymore.

Ruan Dong also stopped talking, and approached the cell one step closer, saying,

"Say, where did you lock Ruan Dong?"

The old emperor, who was still sobbing, couldn't help raising his head when he heard Xiao Shi's words, and murmured,

"Ruan Dong? Who is he?"

Shangguan Hong kicked the prison door and said,

"Don't play tricks on me here, it's all here today, what's the point of you still acting?"

The old emperor shivered from being frightened by Shangguan Hong's kick, but he still said with the same expression,

"I really don't know who Ruan Dong you are talking about?"

Xiao Shi took the conversation, and asked the old emperor in another way,

"Ruan Dong, you say you don't know, what about the strange man, tell me you don't know."

Hearing what Xiaoshi said, the old emperor had an expression of sudden realization, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said,

"Strange man, why don't I know, I don't know how many people have been sent to look for his whereabouts, but none of them were found."

As soon as the old emperor's words fell, Shangguan Hong rushed over, grabbed the cell door with both hands, looked at the old emperor in disbelief, and asked,

"What did you say, you didn't find it, tell me again."

The old emperor was even more puzzled when he saw Shangguan Hong's sudden reaction when he followed Xiao Shi.

"Why, have you found out his whereabouts?"

Xiao Shi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, walked up to the soldier guarding the cell, and snatched the key from the soldier's hand without saying anything, strode to the cell door, opened the cell door and walked in, and took the key from the cell again. The old emperor on the ground picked him up and asked with bruised veins,

"Don't pretend to be confused here, if you don't tell the truth about Ruan Dong's whereabouts, be careful and I will let you die here now."

The old emperor was terrified when he saw Xiaoshi like this, so he couldn't stop begging for mercy.

"I really didn't lie at all. I really didn't lie to you. It's this time. Why should I lie to you?"

Shangguan Hong was very calm, looking at the two people in the cell, and carefully analyzing the whole process from yesterday to today.

From the moment he came to the sixth prince's mansion, he began to think about the sixth prince's performance, and what he just said to himself, could it be?Did we fall into the trap of the sixth prince?

However, Shangguan Hong thought about it again, can the old emperor who has been defeated so far in front of him believe the words?Thinking of this, Shangguan Hong walked into the cell slowly, stood there, looked at the old emperor like a judge, and said slowly,

"As long as you hand over Ruan Dong, I want you to promise that I will get you out and let you enjoy your old age in the folk, I swear to God."

When the old emperor saw Shangguan Hong like this, he immediately showed a very regretful expression and said,

"If I knew that I would have said it a long time ago, why wait until now? Also, if I caught a strange person, do you think I will talk to you like this?"

Shangguan Hong softened, he was really not here with the old emperor, the anger in his heart came up all of a sudden, the sixth prince dared to lie to me.

"Walk."

Leaving only one word for Xiao Shi, he strode out of the cell.Now Xiao Shi didn't realize what was going on, so he quickly loosened the old emperor's collar, threw the old emperor to the ground, and walked out of the cell.

Before leaving, I did not forget to tell the soldier watching the cell,

"Lock the cell door and watch carefully. What happened, please ask carefully."

The old emperor who was thrown on the ground got up one after another, lay on the door inside the cell, and shouted loudly to Shangguan Hong and Xiao Shi who had gone away,

"Hey, does the oath you just made count? Let me out, I'm useless to you guys."

How could the two people striding forward pay any attention to the old emperor? They just let the old emperor struggle and shout in the cell.

Xiao Shi followed behind Shangguan Hong, he didn't feel that he quickened his pace, caught up with Shangguan Hong, and only raised his own question when he followed Shangguan Hong.

"Why are you so sure that the old emperor's words are not lying?"

Shangguan Hong stopped his steps, looked into Xiao Shi's eyes, and said anxiously,

"I know him too well. He can't do anything in order to save his own life. If Ruan Dong is in his hands now, he probably has already used Ruan Dong as a bargaining chip to give us or the sixth prince an opinion. , how could it be possible to stay in prison honestly now."

Xiao Shi also realized the seriousness of the matter, and didn't feel that his worries had deepened. Now it can be said that the longer the delay, the more secure Ruan Dong's life is, so he asked Shangguan Hong,

"Then if it is said that Ruan Dong is not in the hands of the old emperor, where is Ruan Dong now, and who else has the power to take Ruan Dong away, or from the hands of the sixth prince? "

Before Shangguan Hong could respond, Xiao Shi said in surprise,

"Could it be the prince? If the sixth prince and the old emperor are removed, only the prince will have this motivation and influence."

Shangguan Hong was thinking, thinking about what Xiao Shi said just now, and guessing.What Xiao Shi said was not impossible, but Shangguan Hong's conjecture would be more convincing than Xiao Shi's conjecture.

When Shangguan Hong looked at Xiao, his serious expression made Xiao Shi also curious. If it's not the prince, who else?

"Another possibility is that,"

Shangguan Hong paused deliberately, as if he was hungering his appetite, and then continued,

"The sixth prince lied to us. What he said was false. From the moment we entered the sixth prince's residence, he was acting."

After Xiao Shi heard the news, he was so surprised that he couldn't believe it, so he listened to Shangguan Hong continue to explain to himself.

Shangguan Hong went on to say,

"The sixth prince knows that he no longer has much power in the court, and it is impossible to slowly gain the emperor's favor by himself, and the current prince is not him, so he has to find another way, so Ruan Dong's disappearance happened, and the sixth prince had expected that we would mobilize people to find him."

Now Xiaoshi understood Shangguan Hong's words and understood the whole story, so he took Shangguan Hong's words and continued,

"So he pushed the state along the way and put on a play for us when we found him, in the hope that we would help him win the throne."

Shangguan Hong nodded towards Xiaoshi, then continued,

"The Sixth Prince took advantage of our anxious state of mind at that time to perfectly gain our trust."

Xiao Shi's impatience suddenly came up, and he shouted at Shangguan Hong,

"Then what are we waiting for now, go find the sixth prince and ask him to return Ruan Dong."

After Shangguan Hong was silent for a second or two, he slowly said,

"I'm afraid it's not so easy to get Ruan Dong back with the sixth prince now. He is now the lord of the dynasty, and he has got a strange man. Immortality and the supreme power are all in his hands. He won't just be like that. easily agreed to us."

At that moment, a thought flashed through Shangguan Hong's mind, and Shangguan Hong hurriedly looked at Xiao Shi. Xiao Shi didn't guess what method Shangguan Hong would think of to deal with the sixth prince, and then he heard Shangguan Hong say ,

"Xiao Xia, we still have Xiao Xia, another strange person."
