After ten years of seclusion, she was forced to marry the demon queen at the beginning

"An Ning, quick, I've seen your Uncle Xia.

Zhou Tai'an took the young man's hand and asked him to face Xia Changming and said.

Zhou Anning looked at Xia Changming, and bowed very obediently and respectfully.

"I've seen Uncle Xia.

Xia Changming looked at Zhou Anning with an appreciative face.

Fang didn't pay much attention to the main hall, and when he got closer, he realized that this little boy was quite handsome and had an extraordinary temperament.

The facial features are delicate and small, the face crown is like white jade, and a pair of vivid Danfeng eyes are born, with a little curiosity in the round eyes, white and beautiful, just like a finely carved porcelain doll.

What impressed Xia Changming the most was not his appearance, but that the young man was obviously only fourteen or fifteen years old, but his temperament was quite mature and steady.

At a young age, there is a faint hint of crape myrtle on his body

! It's not simple!

It's a pity that his qualifications are ordinary, and his realm cultivation is a little worse.

Xia Changming sighed secretly in his heart.

It has been a long time since the Tianzhou royal family had a talented genius, otherwise it would not have been reduced to this.

"Changming's nephew, An Ning is my only grandson.

"My time is numbered, and I beg you for one thing.

Zhou Tai'an grabbed Xia Changming's hand and said with expectation.

"Old Zhou, but it doesn't hurt to say. "

I want to entrust peace to you for the time being!" "Entrust

me?"

Xia Changming was shocked.

After thinking about it carefully, he quickly understood Zhou Tai'an's intentions.

As far as he knew, Zhou Tai'an had not yet set up a prince.

There are only three princes in Tianzhou's generation, and the eldest prince Zhou Zhige is extremely ambitious, but he is violent by nature and cruel in his means.

The second prince, Zhou Min'an, on the contrary, has a weak personality, indulges in drunken days all day long, does not learn and has no skills, has a dissolute temperament, and is intoxicated with women.

It was rumored that his bed could accommodate a hundred women to sleep together, and sometimes he never got out of bed for a day.

Only the third prince, Zhou Taiping, had both virtue and virtue, and Wen Tao was highly praised and respected by the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty, and was even once considered the most promising person to become the prince!

Therefore, Zhou Taiping died.

She was assassinated in the mansion a few years ago, and the whole house was slaughtered, leaving only Zhou Anning, who hid under the pool all night!

She is Zhou Taiping's only son and Zhou Tai'an's only grandson today.

Tiandu exhausted all the city defenses and praetorian guards to search, but they found no trace, only a few days later, the body of the attacker was found in the mountains and forests outside the city.

That's it.

Since then, Zhou Tai'an has always taken Zhou Anning with him, for fear that she will encounter another accident.

Now Zhou Tai'an wants to entrust Zhou Anning to him, and the meaning is self-evident.

This is to keep Zhou Anning away from the emperor's house for the time being...

Before Xia Changming could answer, Zhou Anning beside him had already thrown himself into Zhou Tai'an's arms regardless of his image, tears flowed down his face, and he kept crying:

"Grandpa, what are you talking about

, An Ning will not leave Grandpa!" "An Ning is not going anywhere, An Ning will stay by his grandfather's side!"

Zhou Tai'an looked at Zhou Anning, who was crying in his arms, with a loving face, and wanted to stretch out his thin palm to touch Zhou Anning's head, but after hesitating for a moment, he resolutely withdrew his arm.

His expression became stern, and he scolded Zhou Anning sharply:

"How did I teach you!As a descendant of the emperor, how

can you cry easily!" "How can you cry and cry like my descendant of Zhou Tai'an

!" "Wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders to see it!" "

No, don't, An Ning can listen to grandpa for anything, An Ning can not cry, but An Ning begs grandpa not to let An Ning go..."

An Ning is only left with his grandfather, and An Ning is reluctant to leave his grandfather!"

Zhou Anning tugged at Zhou Tai'an's clothes tightly with both hands.

At this time, he was already teary-eyed, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and his voice was hoarse.

Even Xia Changming and Su Yueli on the side couldn't help but be moved.

"Old Zhou, have you really reached such a point?"

Xia Changming couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Tai'an's expression was gloomy, and he slowly lifted his sleeves, revealing an arm that was almost pitch black and covered with black markings, and the weird markings seemed to be like a living thing eroding Zhou Tai'an's body at all times.

Seeing this, Xia Changming's expression froze, and his brows tightened.

He was very familiar with this black substance

! It was the eroded filthy spirit on Xia Ruobing's body! Zhou Tai'an

was also corroded by the filthy spirit

! And looking at it like this, the degree of erosion was far deeper than that of Xia Ruobing at that time!

"Old Zhou, can you let me have a check?"

Xia Changming asked with a solemn expression.

Zhou Tai'an nodded and stretched out his arm.

Xia Changming pinched the pulse at Zhou Tai'an's wrist with his fingers, and his divine sense followed the spiritual power into Zhou Tai'an's body.

As soon as the spiritual power entered the meridians in the body, the filthy spirit seemed to be like a hungry jackal that smelled flesh and blood, surging in!

Although Xia Changming's spiritual power control had reached the point of being superb, he still couldn't help the filthy spirit surging like a tide, and it was inexhaustible.

Xia Changming withdrew his hand very regretfully.

No way, it's too late.

If it had been discovered earlier like Xia Ruobing, it might have been too late to spend some time and energy.

At this moment, the filthy spirit had already invaded the meridians of Zhou Tai'an's body, and even he was powerless to return to the sky.

Xia Changming also thought about feeding Zhou Tai'an a panacea.

But the idea was quickly rejected by him.

Not to mention whether the elixir is effective or not, even if the elixir is consumed, the spiritual power exerted by taking the elixir will be eaten up by the filthy spirits in the body.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the medicinal effect takes effect, Zhou Tai'an's body at this time will not be able to accept the impact of that huge spiritual power at all.

I'm afraid that before the filthy spirit can erode his body and die, the spiritual power will cause him to explode and die.

Zhou Tai'an could only let the filthy spirit corrode and die!

"Old Zhou, when did this dark spot appear on your body?"

Xia Changming asked seriously.

The king of a dynasty was actually corrupted by the filthy spirit of man, and he took his life little by little like a chronic poison!

Who is it?

What is the intention?

Xia Changming felt more and more that things were not simple.

It seems that someone is secretly plotting some ulterior plan!

Zhou Tai'an tried to think about it, but finally shook his head helplessly.

"I don't remember, I don't know when I found out about this strange disease.

"At first, I didn't feel it, and I didn't care.

"When I found out, it was already all over my body..."

Zhou Tai'an could see that there was no hope in Xia Changming's eyes, he knew this, so he was not discouraged, and his face was still smiling.

He had already resigned himself to his fate.

Moreover, he was not about to die, and the weak state he showed in the palace was just an illusion to deceive the eyes of some people and reassure those people.

He just had to do something, and the only thing he couldn't let go of in his heart was Zhou Anning.

"Nephew Changming, I ask you again.

"Can you please take care of the peace for me for the time being?"

Zhou Tai'an pleaded again.

Xia Changming pondered for a moment and asked the doubts in his heart:

"Old Zhou, I don't know something. "

Why did you choose me and the Xia family?"
