In the Guanyi, Song Zheng Bingzhu was reading at night. He was also a Confucian scholar in the Lingxu realm. Although his cultivation was not high, he still had a keen eye for fire.
At this moment, his consciousness fell on the two people watching outside the house, and he didn't even notice that he had knocked down the book in his hand.
Not long after, Ji Changfeng walked in and raised his hand to Song Zheng: "Sir, the bed has been made. You'd better rest early!"
Song Zheng nodded, put down the book, and winked at Ji Changfeng. Then Ji Changfeng talked to himself: "Sir, in my opinion, the disaster in Luzhou is just making a fuss out of a molehill. Let's use the money for the disaster relief food to make a fuss. Leave it to Master Liang and go back to life!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to speak, Song Zheng came to the window. A burst of awe-inspiring energy burst out from his hands, and he wrapped around the two people watching outside the window. The Legalist Kung Fu drew the ground as a prison, trapping the two of them, unable to move.
Ji Changfeng immediately dodged out of the room, stunned the two of them with two backhand palms, and pulled them into the house.
"There is indeed a problem in Luzhou," Ji Changfeng said solemnly, "otherwise, why would Liang Yuan send someone to monitor you?"
Song Zheng walked over, thought for a moment, and said, "I can't go out lightly, so as not to scare the snake. Changfeng, go out and investigate immediately. Be careful!"
"Don't worry, sir!"
Ji Changfeng turned around and walked out the door, disappearing into the night...
…
"The wine has been finished, it's time for us to say goodbye!"
In the imperial garden, Yue Zhufeng and Ming Xuyu put down the empty wine jar and said to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling nodded, raised his hands and said, "I hope the commander is fine!"
Ming Xuyu frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to leave with us?"
Ye Ling shook his head: "I still have things to do, so you should leave quickly!"
"In that case, you must be careful. When we meet again in the future, we must have a good time over wine!"
"must!"
The figures of Yue Zhufeng and Ming Xuyu flickered several times before disappearing between the palace walls.
Ye Ling threw down the wine jar, put on the eunuch's clothes again, and returned to the courtyard of Mengwan Palace.
In front of the stone table, Meng Wan Gong was still sitting on the edge. The tea in the cup was still warm, as if he expected Ye Ling to come back.
Ye Ling stepped forward and Meng Waggong said with a smile: "It's rare that you come back to see me before you leave."
"Didn't you guess it a long time ago?" As he spoke, Ye Ling sat down, picked up the tea cup in his hand, and took a sip. It's just that his mind is very confused now and he can't taste the drink.
After a while, Meng Wan Gong asked: "Are you leaving the palace?"
Ye Ling nodded: "I just don't know where to go."
"Go find your sworn brother," Meng Waggong said with a smile, "He is a good man. Maybe he can do something about what you saw."
Ye Ling also wanted to find his eldest brother Xu Zheng, but he did not leave Taiyue City because he did not know where his third brother Wu Qing was.
While he was talking, a dragon and horse roared at the entrance of the small courtyard, and a carriage stopped at the door.
Ye Ling turned around and saw an old man in civilian clothes sitting beside the car. He was as simple and lifeless as a stone statue.
Ye Ling recognized that this was the old man who drove Baili Haoyue, and the carriage also belonged to Baili Haoyue.
As Ye Ling expected, the arrogant little maid helped Baili Haoyue out of the carriage and into the yard.
Baili Haoyue saluted Meng Wan Palace, but the little maid looked at Ye Ling from the side and sneered: "I didn't expect you are still a wanted criminal. No wonder you don't understand the world and do all kinds of illegal things!"
Ye Ling did not refute, but the sharp aura on his body made the little maid's face change slightly and she hurriedly hid behind Baili Haoyue.
Meng Wan Gong smiled and said to Baili Haoyue, "Sorry to trouble you."
Baili Haoyue glanced at Ye Ling and said slowly: "I can send him out of the imperial city, but I can't prevent him from leaving Taiyue."
Meng Wanzong looked at Ye Ling with a smile, as if asking, but also answering: "That's enough."
Without saying much, Ye Ling followed Baili Haoyue and the little maid out, but Meng Wanzong suddenly stopped Ye Ling and took out a letter from her sleeve.
Ye Ling was about to reach out to take it, but unexpectedly, Meng Wan Gong retracted his hand, and a burst of sky fire emerged out of thin air, burning the letter into ashes.
"This is the letter I wrote to your adopted brother."
Ye Ling was puzzled, and Meng Waggong said again: "Just tell him about this. The letter I wrote was burned again."
Ye Ling nodded and immediately got into the carriage. The old man driving the carriage waved his whip and the wheels slowly drove away.
Meng Wan Gong stood at the door and stared for a long time...
The carriage is not that big, so it would be a bit crowded for three people. The little maid frowned in disgust: "Running into the imperial city without authorization is a serious crime of beheading!"
Ye Ling did not answer. In the eyes of the monks, there was no legal punishment. They were just relying on the strong to bully the weak. They were restricted by the law only because they were not as strong as the dynasty.
Seeing that Ye Ling was ignoring her, the little maid also turned her head to one side and muttered in a low voice: "Ignore you, you think I want to talk to you, huh!"
Just as Ye Ling was about to close his eyes, Baili Haoyue suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Rencaomu? Why did he give you the Reborn Spirit Nourishing Tea?"
"Reborn Spirit Nourishment Tea?" Ye Ling thought silently in his mind. He only found out the name of this tea today.
"Hey!" The little maid raised her chin: "Our girl is asking you something. Are you mute?"
Ye Ling looked at Baili Haoyue: "It's just a chance encounter."
Baili Haoyue said nothing, but his expression was full of suspicion. After all, she knew how precious this tea was, so how could she give it to a stranger so easily?
However, things in this world are never reasonable.
The carriage was walking and suddenly stopped. A soldier's voice came from outside the carriage: "General Wei has an order. When entering or leaving the imperial city, you must get out of the car for inspection!"
Ye Ling put his hand on the sword, but Baili Haoyue signaled him not to act rashly, and turned to look at the little maid.
The little maid nodded, stood up and jumped out of the carriage, shouting: "You bastards, don't you know this is the carriage of my girl, Princess Xu Chun? Why don't you let me go quickly!"
The few soldiers in front of the car did not dare to commit the crime. However, where the blame lay, they bowed their hands and bowed their heads for a moment, unable to advance or retreat.
The little maid jumped up and down angrily: "You guys are really not afraid of death. If you don't get out of the way, I guarantee you won't survive tomorrow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him chuckled: "Miss Zhu'er, don't make it difficult for them. If you have anything, you can tell our family."
The little maid Zhu'er looked back and saw Gao He, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial department, and Zhao Yu and Zhang Mo, who were also the eunuchs of the ceremonial department.
Pearl's face turned pale, and now that she had seen the inside story, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to speak, and she really didn't know what to do.
Instead, the sergeants grabbed the life-saving straw and quickly saluted: "Greetings to Eunuch Gao!"
"No gift!"
Gao He stood in front of the carriage and rushed into the carriage with a half-smile but said: "Your Royal Highness, the court's laws are here. Please don't embarrass our family."
In the carriage, Baili Haoyue's voice could be heard: "Is this servant worthy of inspecting my car?"
Gao He's face did not change, and he was still polite: "What the princess said makes sense, but in extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done. Her Royal Highness the Princess has always understood the general situation and considered the overall situation, so naturally she will not care about such trivial matters! What's more, the princess has always been filial. The royal father will not violate your majesty's holy orders! Moreover, the princess usually stays in private and never asks about the affairs of the court. Naturally, she will not have anything to do with the rebels and the party. The slave night is just a routine matter, and the princess will understand. "
Ye Ling looked at Baili Haoyue. Gao He's words blocked all roads. He couldn't think of any way to stop it, so he secretly moved his Dao power around him and was ready to fight at any time.
But Baili Haoyue sneered and said, "What Eunuch Gao said is true, but I'm not feeling well today. I can't stand the wind and cold, and I can't lift the curtain!"
Behind Gao He, Zhao Yu and Zhang Mo looked at each other and had some concerns in their minds. Ordinary Baili Haoyue would never be like this, and something must have happened today.
Gao He kept smiling: "The princess is slightly ill, and I dare not disturb her. I can only take a look through the crack. Only in this way can I report to His Majesty!"
While he was talking, Wei Beichen, the general of the auxiliary state, stood on the city wall, looking down, but had no intention of interfering. He just said to himself: "This job is not easy to do!"
Zhu'er outside the car didn't dare to interrupt. The old man driving the car was like a statue, silent and calm. Ye Ling's eyes in the carriage became sharper and sharper, and his right hand firmly grasped the hilt of the wooden sword, suppressing the edge.
Gao He continued: "The princess's silence is a promise. I will only take a look and will never disturb Your Highness."
As he spoke, Gao He's experienced hand had already grabbed one side of the car curtain and slightly opened the gap. Zhuer's heart was in her throat and she quickly closed her eyes, not daring to look down.
But unexpectedly, a chuckle came from Baili Shuze's car driving from the palace, saying: "I didn't expect that the doorway would be so lively at this late night!"
Baili Shuze waved his fan, got off the carriage, and said with a smile: "Do you have any interesting stories that you can tell me?"
Gao He had no choice but to retract his hand and saluted Baili Shuze: "Third Prince, Your Majesty has an order to carefully check when entering or leaving the palace. The slaves are on errands according to the order."
"I see," as he spoke, Baili Shuze's car drove up to Baili Haoyue's carriage, almost touching each other.
Zhao Yu wanted to speak, but Zhang Mo stopped him and signaled him to stop talking.
Baili Shuze lifted the car curtain and said to Gao He, "Eunuch Gao, you can check it carefully."
Gao He took a look and saw that there was nothing inside, and then smiled and said: "The third prince is considerate of us minions, and the minions are grateful!"
Baili Shuze lowered the car curtain, walked up to the three of them and exchanged greetings for a while, leaving Gao He and others with no time to pay attention.
Then, Baili Haoyue opened the car curtain with a cold face, and she was the only one inside.
"Gao He, you'd better take a closer look to see if I am an accomplice harboring the traitor!"
Gao He and the other three hurriedly saluted: "Princess, your words are serious, the servants have lost etiquette in their actions, and they really deserve death!"
Baili Haoyue snorted coldly, called Zhu'er to get in the car, and left the imperial city. Baili Shuze also said goodbye with a smile and left.
Zhao Yu seemed to have a sudden realization. Just when he was about to speak, he was held back by Zhang Mo.
Not long after, the sixth prince Baili Hanran, Hua Xinfeng and others stepped forward. Baili Hanran looked at Gao He and said with a smile: "Eunuch Gao, it's really hard for you to do everything flawlessly and without leakage!"
Gao He quickly smiled and said: "I dare not not do my best when working for His Majesty!"
After the sixth prince and others left, Gao He looked at Zhao Yu and said, "The third prince, the eldest princess, and the sixth prince are all trying to protect someone. What do you dare to do?"
Zhao Yu didn't answer, looked at Zhang Mo and sighed softly...
