    When Chen Jiu was eating in the cafeteria, someone bumped into him again, and there was a ball of paper in his hand, which said that the First Prince would come to make an inspection tomorrow, and asked him to get ready and report "Aurida" to the First Prince.

    A few days earlier than planned.

    Brahma sat opposite Chen Jiu, eating with big mouthfuls, Chen Jiu stirred the soup with a spoon, looking through the crowd to see Ai Shilan who was far away from them on the other side.

    Ai Shilan was already avoiding them on purpose, looking for a remote place for Chen Jiu to eat, and also for work, and when she returned to the cell, she had no time to talk to him.

    Chen Jiu was not at ease, he did not intend to do what Ai Shilan said, and handed Ai Shilan to them, what if something happened?

    I have to find a chance to have a good talk with Ai Shilan.

    "What are you looking at?" Brahma's voice asked.

    Brahma's plate was already empty, and only a small piece of the old wine's plate had moved. Compared with Brahma, it seemed like nothing had been eaten.

    "no appetite?"

    "I want to talk to Ai Shilan." Chen Jiu lowered his voice to prevent being heard by the prisoners next to him. "He seems unhappy."

    Brahma sneered, but did not comment on the matter. He picked up the plate of Chenjiu: "You go to him now, he will definitely not refuse."

    Ai Shilan sat alone at the long table, and there was no one around. Chen Jiu thought about it, walked over, and sat opposite Ai Shilan.

    Ai Shilan must have known that he was coming, but her movements did not stop at all, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and her meal movements were unhurried.

    Chen Jiu watched Ai Shilan eat, he has always been like this, most of the time he was silent, Chen Jiu didn't know what he was thinking.So he prefers to play with Brahma.

    But he knew that Aishlan, like Brahma, was doing his best to protect him, but he never said that he would only help him when he stumbled, or resolutely push him to the end of life when he was making a choice between life and death.that side.

    After a while, it was Ai Shilan who finally spoke, his voice calm and unwavering: "What's the matter."

    Logically speaking, Chen Jiu should speak now and tell him his plan, but Ai Shilan didn't look at him, but always focused her eyes on another place deliberately, as if she really didn't want to talk to him.The words that had already been drafted involuntarily became: "You are avoiding me."

    After saying this, Ai Shilan finally looked up at Chen Jiu, and said, "Yes."

    Ai Shilan's answer was too straightforward, and Chen Jiu didn't know what to say. Originally, he thought that if Ai Shilan denied it, he could justly tell the example of Ai Shilan deliberately avoiding him, but the other party responded directly.Chen Jiu couldn't help but choke.

    "...Why?" Chen Jiu said, "Are you regretting, let me restore my memory?"

    "No." Ai Shilan said softly, "It's another reason."

    Chen Jiu looked at him.

    Some kind of obscure emotion lingered between the two of them, and Chen Jiu was thinking about what Ai Shilan meant.

    If Brahma is presumptuous, then Ai Shilan is restrained.

    He was obviously jealous, but he would never say such a reason.

    Chen Jiu knew almost everything, even if he said this, Ai Shilan would probably only say "um".

    Chen Jiu looked at Ai Shilan curiously.

    "What's the reason?"

    Ai Shilan said: "You have already got the information, when will the royal family come?"

    Chen Jiu was taken aback.

    Changing the topic without any foreshadowing was indeed something Ai Shilan could do.

    At the same time, a figure swayed behind Chen Jiu, and put the plate in front of Chen Jiu.

    Brahma didn't care about other people's eyes at all, he reordered Chen Jiu's favorite dish, then stretched out his long arm, put it intimately on Chen Jiu's shoulder, and sat next to him.

    Brahma has long legs, his legs are crossed, and he is a little casual.

    Seeing Brahma's appearance, Ai Shilan frowned, and said coldly, "Sit down."

    Brahma: "No way, you still want to control me when you're here?" He turned his head and said to Chen Jiu, "I often wonder if he used to be the teaching director.I like to be in charge of things, it’s too annoying, isn’t it.”

    Ai Shilan: "..."

    Ai Shilan's gaze was cold, while Brahma curled his lips provocatively back, and the two were ready to fight every minute.

    Chen Jiu coughed: "Let's talk about the information I got."

    It was good to be beside Ai Shilan. He was sitting in the corner. The prison guards were not on duty here, and no one came over. It was a good place to talk.

    Chen Jiu told him all the information he had received, and finally said: "My plan is to report the name of a death row prisoner for him to look up, and then I will wait for the opportunity to assassinate him, and you can leave here while the chaos is taking advantage..."

    "no."

    "no!"

    The voices of Brahma and Ashlan sounded at the same time.

    "There are many guards around the prince. If you are not careful, you will be discovered. It is too dangerous for you to go." Ai Shilan said, "According to the original plan, I will go."

    "What is the original plan? This is the original plan." Chen Jiu said, "Don't look at me like this now, but I'm already very powerful. I'm not the one... who needs to be protected by you. Just take this thing off my neck.No one can withstand my mental strength."

    "But you can't take it off." Brahma said, "I've tried it, and there will be an alarm if you force it, so you can't take it off."

    "This is the second thing I want to tell you." Chen Jiu took a deep breath and said, "You guys know Fan En."

    "Actually, he used to be my knight commander."

    "..."

    After a long silence, Brahma said: "This is impossible... Are you confused? At the award ceremony, there was no third knight commander except for Aishan and me."

    "No, that's what I named myself." Chen Jiu didn't know what to say, "I've known him for a long time, and he left the Federation before you came here. What I want to say is that he will help me."

    "You can't trust others." Ai Shilan frowned, and said to Chen Jiu in a rare critical tone, "Except for me and Brahma, you can't trust anyone anymore!"

    Brahma and Ai Shilan stood in the united front, and said, "Yes, who knows what that person is thinking, what if he deliberately asked you to lower your guard, and then told the imperial family all the news?"

    Brahma said angrily: "I knew you before I... I've never seen that guy before, he must be a traitor!"

    "He has difficulties." Chen Jiu explained, "I can't explain it in a few words, but he can really be trusted. He is also from the Orida family."

    "What's your name?" Ai Shilan said in a deep voice.

    Chen Jiu said Fan En's real name, and Ai Shilan fell silent.

    Brahma wondered: "Is there such a person? I don't seem to have any impression."

    There are so many offshoots of the Orida family that even they can't know all of them.Brahma tried hard to think for a long time, but he didn't remember such a person. Just as he was about to speak, Ai Shilan said slowly: "There is indeed such a person. He was sent to the Federation with a secret identity by the elders of the family. Unexpectedly...It's him."

    Ai Shilan has been smart since she was a child, and has a photographic memory. He said there is, and it is true.

    "None of you can go." Chen Jiu said, "Your spiritual power is being suppressed, and I will ask Fann to assist you."

    "Can we not assassinate?" Brahma suddenly said, "The imperial regime is already in jeopardy, and our biggest enemy now is the second prince."

    "What about the antidote?" Ai Shilan asked back, "There is a medicine given by the imperial family on his body. Even if he does not assassinate, he must be kidnapped to get the antidote."

    "..."

    Chen Jiu has made up his mind to go by himself, this is his task, no one can do it for him.

    Ai Shilan stood up, her voice was extremely low, as if suppressing some strong emotion: "Come here."

    Ai Shilan hardly ever spoke to Chen Jiu in a commanding tone, he always faced Chen Jiu with the respectful attitude of a subordinate.Chen Jiu couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

    Ai Shilan walked quickly, and disappeared around the corner. Chen Jiu looked around and chased after him: "Where is the person—"

    As soon as Chen Jiu walked around the corner, a strong force grabbed his shoulders and forced him to lean against the wall.

    And Ai Shilan was panting deeply, her chest heaving violently.

    "Am I useless?"

    "What do you mean?!" Chen Jiu said, "I never said that."

    "You didn't say that, but you did it." Ai Shilan didn't use honorifics. At this moment, the polite temperament on his body completely dissipated, as if his wild upper body was about to show sharp and fierce fangs, but Ai ShilanShi Lan's fingers gripping Chen Jiu didn't use much force.

    Aged wine can easily break free from strength.

    "Go to a dangerous place by yourself, even if it's at the cost of your life, don't let me go instead of you."

    "There's even another knight commander... Are you expressing dissatisfaction with me?"

    "Brahma can do it, why can't I?"

    Chen Jiu didn't answer for a long time, but the voices of several people came from a distance.

    It's not a good place right now.

    Ai Shilan realized his gaffe, he slowly let go of his hand, and was about to leave, but Chen Jiu gently held his wrist.

    "Ai Shilan, you are the person I trust the most."

    "I am not partial to any of you, because I know that your sincerity to me is immeasurable."

    "But this is my task... This road can only be walked by myself."

    Tomorrow is the date of the royal family's visit, and the prison management will arrange for the prisoners to clean up, wipe the walls and mop the floor, so as to make the prison look the latest and best.

    Chen Jiu came to the warden's office and asked Fann to turn on the controller for him.

    Fan En also knew about Chen Jiu's plan, but he did not support Chen Jiu's plan for the same reason as Ai Shilan: "It's too dangerous."

    Chen Jiu told Fan En that he was sent by the imperial family, and they had already taken a kind of medicine. If they didn't get the antidote, they would surely die.

    Fann: "Go to Dr. Han and let him take a look for you. His medical skills are superb, and maybe he can cure you."

    Han Mingze...Chen Jiu didn't expect this, but he didn't expect much.

    Fann's knight sword was hung on one side of the chair, Chen Jiu picked it up with one hand, it was heavy, and Chen Jiu was still a little unsteady when holding it with one hand.He stared at the sword head representing the iconic pattern of the Empire, which was a goshawk.

    He always felt that he had seen this pattern somewhere else... But he couldn't remember clearly.

    Chen Jiu thought for a long time, but couldn't grasp the thread in his thoughts, so he had to give up.

    "Be careful." Seeing that Chen Jiu had been playing with the sword, Fan En reminded, "The blade is very sharp, don't scratch your hand."

    "I know, I'm not a child." Chen Jiu muttered.

    It is also convenient to go to the infirmary from here. Chen Jiu stopped by, not looking for Han Mingze to develop an antidote, but he always felt that this person was a bit mysterious.

    There was no one in the infirmary, and there was a splashing sound in the bathroom, as if he was taking a shower.

    Chen Jiu was bored, and found that this person seemed to have just come back, the clothes were hanging on the hanger outside, Chen Jiu looked over inadvertently, it was the black shirt.

    Chen Jiu: "..."

    Now when he saw the black shirt, he subconsciously shivered.

    Chen Jiu was about to look away when he suddenly saw something from the corner of his eye.

    His heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he spread the collar of his clothes...

    It was a silver pattern.

    Goshawk.

    Symbol of imperial royalty.

    "What are you looking at?" Han Mingze said in a relaxed voice, with a smile on his face.

    Chen Jiu suddenly turned his head, with a trace of panic in his eyes.

    The sound of water stopped at some point, Chen Jiu was too shocked to notice that the tall man had already come out of the bathroom and stood not far from Chen Jiu.

    His eyes moved up slightly, and fell on the black shirt that was a little crumpled in the hands of the old wine.

    Han Mingze smiled, his voice was still gentle, as harmless as a gust of wind.

    "You like my clothes so much?"
