"Old Ma, do you think I am helping a usurper now? Not only have we committed the crime of deceiving the king, but we may also be the helpers of the regicide!"
Didn't Wu De not know that the change of those in power was a river of blood? No old person has it easy, so he also knows exactly what consequences he will have this time.
"Master Wu, Ma Er, I have never doubted your sincerity. Ma Er, I just ask you not to forget it! Master Wu, when you agreed to the King Xun, the King Xun said that he wanted to build you a more powerful person than the late Emperor. Good Daxia Dynasty! You didn’t do this kind of thing for your own selfish gain, nor to get promoted to a higher position, nor to help King Xun!”
Butler Ma pointed at Wu De's chest.
"The most important thing for you is your own heart, your pure heart that wants the whole world to be better."
Wu De put his palm on it, knowing exactly what the housekeeper meant. He also had this piece of pure land in his heart, and Wu De also felt that Ma Er understood him best. Even compared to his wife, Ma Er Second, you can understand what you are talking about and what you insist on at ordinary times.
At this time, the hostess of the mansion came out. Seeing the housekeeper and Wu De chatting, she came up, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Wu De glanced at Ma Er. Up to now, Wu De had not explained to his wife that King Xun had already hid with him. If he told her, according to his wife's temperament, he might immediately take Xun to his side. Wang Ge's whereabouts were reported to the Royal Forest Army, so Wu De has been hiding from his family.
When Ma Er saw Wu De's eyes, he immediately understood what he meant. He stretched his hands forward and bowed before leaving.
"I'm leaving now."
Wu De pretended that nothing happened and waved towards Ma Er.
"Go down. If anything happens, I will call you..."
After greeting his housekeeper, Wu De put his arm around his wife's waist and led her to their bedroom, murmuring words of comfort.
"It's okay, wife. It's just that the Jin Yiwei and the Yulin Army are conducting cyclic searches. Wife, it's not like you don't know my temper. For this kind of thing, I don't even take a look at it. I only focus on my hands. The sage’s book! Don’t worry, go back and rest early.”
The plain-looking but gentle and virtuous woman slowly said: "Okay, I'll go back first. Husband, don't work too hard. Come back early to rest when you are tired. This scroll cannot be completed in an instant. By the way, I I believe you!"
Wu De looked at his wife's trusting eyes, and a writhing pain suddenly appeared in his heart, but some things had to be done.
In fact, Butler Ma did not leave, but after turning a corner, he entered the small wing where Wu Dezang lived in King Xun. Ma Er pushed open the wooden door that was stained with dust, and the smell of damp wood floated in it. It still had the astringent smell of dried ink, and it was hard to see anything in the room, but Ma Er didn't dare to light a lamp.
Ma Er turned around, looked around first, and then closed the door of the wing tightly. The moment the door was closed, a candle light lit up in the room. The weak light was not enough to illuminate the entire room. room, but it can illuminate the figure on the table not far away.
After Ma Er saw that sinister face, sweat instantly appeared on his forehead, and he immediately knelt down to salute.
"I pay my respects to King Xun!"
Yes, this person was King Xun who was hiding and did not let Zhu Qiwen find any trace. The latter waved his hand impatiently. As time passed, Zhu Houyi's mood and state became worse and worse. Ma Er didn't even need to look up. Look, you will know what King Xun means by not speaking. .
So Ma Er began to report the current situation truthfully.
"I would like to report to King Xun that the Jin Yiwei and the Yu Linjun outside have already checked each other's residence. It is estimated that neither the Jin Yiwei nor the Yulin Jun will come in one day!"
Zhu Houyi rested his right leg leisurely on his sitting leg and finally began to speak his voice.
"Ma Er, how is Wu De's condition? Are you sure he won't tell the royal guards outside about my whereabouts?"
Ma Er was extremely frightened, but he was extremely determined about this kind of thing.
"The villain reports to the prince, and the villain uses his own life as a guarantee. Wu De will definitely not betray the prince. This is also the last thing that the prince has to do to train Xiao Xiao for so many years. Xiao Xiao is very confident in this aspect. , I am willing to use my head as a guarantee!"
King Xun sneered, clasped one hand on the tea table next to him, and murmured: "What use does this king want from your life? Okay, Ma Er, you can get out. If you have any news, please inform me immediately." king!"
Ma Er extended his hands forward, bowed and left.
"Your Majesty, please excuse me!"
King Xun waved his hand in front of him boredly, signaling Ma Er to leave quickly. The latter turned his back to the door and moved slowly step by step, for fear of offending King Xun Zhu Houyi in some places, so from the beginning to now, Ma Er Second, not only was he extremely groveling when he spoke, he didn't even raise his head.
After Ma Er closed the door, the room where there was originally only one figure slowly appeared behind the left and right sides of King Xun.
"Cui Cai, Cui Fei! Have you two found out, is there anything I want in this mansion?"
The shorter one of the two saluted King Xun and said, "All the scrolls on the ground have been checked, and there is nothing left by the late emperor..."
"Okay!" King Xun's eyes suddenly glowed like poisonous snakes. He clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to crush the situation in the entire palace. However, he was also trapped in it and could not extricate himself. However, King Xun knew that the only thing he had to do to break the current interface was to find the things left by his brother faster than Zhu Qiwen.
"Brother, you have already left, but you still have to put pressure on my younger brother. I am very sad..."
King Xun Zhu Houyi crushed the tea cup in his hand directly, but the punctured fragments did not penetrate deeply into the palm of his hand. King Xun's palm was being rolled by a warm feeling from within, which did not belong to him, but to the other of the two. The tall man.
"Okay, you two will go check the scrolls in the underground later. If you have any news, tell me immediately."
"Yes!" The two of them stretched out their hands to salute with great tacit understanding, and then retreated into the shadows. In the light of the only candle in the entire wing, the king of inquiry Zhu Houyi stared at the only source of light. Zhu Houyi's eyes also gave birth to tears. A little flame.
