Coming from the palace, the sun shone high, and the tribesmen in the village also felt the unusual atmosphere in the palace and all gathered quietly in Zhongping.

Chen Ao stretched his waist and returned to his sour appearance. The sunlight seemed particularly dazzling. He glanced at him for a moment, and suddenly stopped. He waited for Gui Zhihuan to come over, and then smiled at her faintly: "Miss Huan'er, how dare you ask, where is my King's Shangfang sword?"

Perhaps it was because he couldn't stand Chen Ao's aggressive gaze or the obscurity of the ghost face, which made Gui Zhihuan dare not look at Chen Ao's eyes, but just looked sideways at Zhongping and said, "Your Highness follows me."

There was a lieutenant in front of him who had already brought Li Cheng's head to Zhongping, threw the head to the ground, shouting: "The rebel Li Cheng has been killed. Whoever dares to be disobedient again, Li Cheng is a role model!"

When the tribesmen saw this, they felt chill and whispered. When the fellow villagers of all races came out, they gathered their clan members and issued the royal edict.

Chen Ao and Gui Zhihuan walked along the stream in Zhongping one after another. Both of them were silent. Gui Zhihuan suddenly said, "Your Highness is a good plan?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "This is for your own good. The strong people in this world are respected. The five tribes of Hengshan have 20,000 cavalry and are too impatient to be self-reliant. Only by completely surrendering can you continue your bloodline." He stopped and looked at Gui Zhihuan with his eyes. He suddenly stretched out his hand. His fingers touched Gui Zhihuan's fat-like skin, raised her chin slightly, and looked at her eyes and said slowly: "Miss Huan'er will not blame me for killing your fiance, so that you can't get married, right?"

Gui Zhihuan looked up at Chen Ao and said lightly: "What do you think your Highness thinks?"

The two looked at each other and then smiled knowingly. Chen Ao let go of his hand and continued to walk forward. He arrived at Gui Zhihuan's residence. Under the shocked eyes of several old women, the two entered the building one by one and one by one. A red candle was lit in the building and decorated it. It must be because of Gui Zhihuan's marriage today that even Xiayi was sent. Chen Ao glanced at the furniture here. It was not luxurious, but it was extremely neat. He looked up and saw a painting on the wall. It was the picture of a lady he drew. The beauty ran barefoot among the flowers, chasing colorful butterflies, like a dream.

There was still a vase on the windowsill, and paper flowers that had been soaked by the moisture were inserted in the vase.

Gui Zhihuan did not expect that these things would be seen by Chen Ao in the hall, and was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face returned to normal. She was not a pretentious person or a woman who was at a loss when encountering problems. Although she was short-lived, she did not make her lose her composure. But Lianzhe arrived in front of the wardrobe, opened the cabinet, and a dazzling sword was hung in the wardrobe. She gently took the sword with her slender hands. The cold air on the sword body made her warm and soft palms cold.

When Gui Zhihuan turned around, she found that Chen Ao was already behind her. An inch distance was enough to make Gui Zhihuan feel uncomfortable. She suppressed this indescribable feeling, handed over the sword, and slowly said, "Your Highness, you have returned the jade to Zhao."

Chen Ao took the sword without hesitation, but did not move the next step. He just smiled faintly and pulled up the sword sheath. The sword body roared, revealing an inch of cold light. Chen Ao shook his head and said, "Good sword, I only kill people's hearts, it's a pity for this good sword!"

Gui Zhihuan smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness's ability to kill his heart is impressive."

Chen Ao leaned forward a little closer and said mysteriously: "I am more capable of stealing people. Do you want to see Miss Huan'er?"

Gui Zhihuan smiled sweetly, but cautiously avoided it and said, "Your Highness is joking." She suddenly sighed softly, as if she was a little complicated.

Chen Ao did not succeed, and he didn't care. He just smiled and looked at the furnishings in the house and said, "It turns out that there is such a good place in this village. Compared with this place, the place where I live is really like pearls and jade and cow dung." He sat unceremoniously on Gui Zhihuan's couch. There were two thin blankets on the couch, emitting a faint fragrance. He stretched his waist happily and said, "Along the way, I haven't slept for seven or eight hours, and I'm really tired at this time." He blinked at Gui Zhihuan and continued, "I am a scholar, and it is common for scholars to sleep in a woman's boudoir. Miss Huan'er, can I borrow a few hours of sleep here?"

Seeing that his face was indeed a little tired, Gui Zhihuan couldn't help but say, "Didn't your highness say that the whole world is the king's land?"

The meaning of this sentence was clearer. Chen Ao nodded slightly at her, then took off his boots and wanted to sleep. Taking off his boots would inevitably have a strange smell. Gui Zhihuan couldn't help but frowned and said, "Is this noble person not enough to cleanse himself?"

Chen Ao said with confidence: "Just follow the customs in the countryside."

Gui Zhihuan couldn't help but shake his head, silently closed the door and went out. After a while, he brought a basin of warm water in and put it on the fall. He carefully put Chen Ao's feet into the copper basin, and said without any hesitation on his face: "Although the five tribes are barbaric in the eyes of you Han people, they are not a place where dirt is hidden."

Her jade hands were put into the warm water, and she just touched the soles of Chen Ao's feet that were polished out of water. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly and she started to wipe them carefully.

Chen Ao sat on the couch and could only see the tip of the iceberg exposed by the towering nose under the black hair. He enjoyed this moment of tenderness and washed his feet comfortably. After Gui Zhihuan gently wiped him, Chen Ao pulled back to the couch and went to bed with his head on his hand.

Gui Zhihuan looked at Chen Ao again, bent down and covered him with a blanket. The two of them touched their eyes and separated naturally. They both pretended to be natural, as if to make themselves not feel restrained.

Chen Ao lay honestly on the couch, blinking his eyes and suddenly said, "Miss Huan'er, I remembered another sentence."

Gui Zhihuan nodded and began to put down the curtain for Chen Ao. Chen Ao said through the curtain: "I have also said this to the king and ministers in the world, right?"

Gui Zhihuan spat and said, "I'm insatiable." The man had quietly closed the door and went out.

Chen Ao sighed and closed his eyes comfortably. The so-called "All the kings and ministers under the world are the same as those in the kings, then in theory, Gui Zhihuan is also Chen Ao's private pockets. Chen Ao said in his heart that it was a pity, and his eyelashes trembled a few times and he fell asleep quietly.

When he got up, he didn't know when the oil lamp had been lit in the room. Chen Ao opened his eyes and saw that there was no one in the room. He yawned comfortably and turned over and sat up.

Chen Ao came out of the house in his clothes, but there was still no ghost Zhihuan. However, a captain was wandering outside the building. Chen Ao deliberately coughed, then creaked and stepped down the stairs with his boots. When the captain saw Chen Ao come out, he immediately rushed over and smiled at Chen Ao ambiguously, and then said seriously: "Your Highness, that merchant has already caught it."

Chen Ao casually held the handrail of the wooden ladder and said, "What did you say?"

"It was said that it was the order given by the Marquis of Yiyang, and that it was the prince who blocked their financial path first, so they came up with this bad plan."

Chen Ao said lightly: "It's them." Then he said: "Where are people?"

The captain said: "The man has been imprisoned, let's see what His Highness Yu is for."

Chen Ao said seriously: "No need to stay, kill me, what's the use of me asking for a merchant? What evidence do you need to deal with the Yiyang Marquis?"

After saying that, he curled his lips and saw that the captain was still staying and not leaving, Chen Ao frowned and said, "What else is there?"

The captain stood up straight and said embarrassedly: "Oh, no, let's do it now." As he said that, he fled in a panic like flying.

Chen Ao gently rebuked, "The headless guy." He was energetic. Seeing that it was not too late, he found that he was doing nothing. So he walked to Shangping and saw the stone steps along the way. He walked up without hesitation. The shadow of the deep hall was flashing. Chen Ao stepped in and happened to be full of Gui Zhihuan.

Gui Zhihuan quickly took a step back, nodded to Chen Ao, and whispered: "Your Highness is awake?"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Miss Huan'er didn't sleep."

Gui Zhihuan's pretty face inevitably turned red. The meaning of this was like Chen Ao waiting for her to sleep on the bed, and he said lightly: "Your Highness is joking."

Chen Ao entered the hall, but the hall was still the same. Gui Zhihuan behind him said, "Your Highness, the silver ring is actually real, right?"

Chen Ao looked back at Gui Zhihuan and smiled and said, "Miss Huan'er is really smart."

Gui Zhihuan was silent for a moment and said, "I was already a little suspicious at that time. This holy object was not necessarily a thousand-year-old antique like the rumor. Perhaps it was passed down two hundred years ago. It was just that I was not sure at that time."

Chen Ao looked at her deeply and said, "It's not that I'm not sure, but Miss Huan'er also hopes that the silver ring is fake in her heart."

After saying that Gui Zhihuan's thoughts, Gui Zhihuan just smiled and pursed his lips, "The villagers have conveyed the edict. From tomorrow, the Hengshan cavalry distributed in the mountains will gather together. When will His Highness lead the army north?"

Chen Ao talked about official duties and immediately collapsed and said, "Of course, the faster the better."

Gui Zhihuan said first: "The little woman and the 20,000 Hengshan Jingqi will be handed over to Your Highness."

Of course, Chen Ao would not think that Gui Zhihuan's words were to be conceived, but he said in surprise: "What? Miss Huan'er is also going north?"

Gui Zhihuan held the short knife on his waist, and a little charming look appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up, saying, "What? Do you think I am just a woman?"

Chen Ao stepped forward and saw her showing a heroic posture, he couldn't help but say, "In my eyes, Miss Huan'er is just a woman."

Gui Zhihuan sighed and said, "But in Huan'er's eyes, I don't know who Your Highness is?"

How could Chen Ao not understand what Gui Zhihuan meant? She changed too quickly in her eyes, and each face was different. Gui Zhihuan used to carry a ghost face, but in her eyes, Chen Ao also had a mask? How could she know which face was Chen Ao's true face and which one was just a mask for artificiality?
