After finishing the meal, the chamberlain and the palace maid just brought the meal up.
The boys and girls rolled up their sleeves and started eating.
"Eight-treasure duck, braised pork elbow with soy sauce, fried mandarin duck belly, lotus tofu... these are all our favorite dishes!" Su Wu ate happily, not forgetting to say hello, "Grandpa Du, come over and eat, I have your best braised rabbit meat." !Uncle Ziyi, we also have the pork belly rolls you like, hurry up, they’re going to be sold out soon!”
Wei Li entered the inner hall and changed into clean clothes. His black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin. When he walked out, he smiled without saying a word, "I received the news when you entered the city, and I specially ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite food." The food is worth the effort."
Bai Yu pushed the fried mandarin duck belly in front of Tianbao, put another piece of tofu for her, and hummed, "You know we will be angry, so you only try to offset the merits after the matter is done. Don't think you can bribe us with just one meal!" "
"Don't dare, don't dare. I'll cover three meals a day for you while you're in Beijing. Is that okay?"
After not seeing each other for a long time, the senior brothers and sisters didn't feel unfamiliar at all, and they joked and joked naturally and harmoniously, just like before.
The palace maids and servants did not dare to look sideways during the whole process, and then bowed and left after serving the meal.
When they were far away from the emperor's palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They could no longer suppress their curiosity and lowered their voices to discuss among themselves.
"Did you hear the laughter coming from the palace just now when you were waiting outside the palace? The emperor and those people actually got into trouble!"
"More than just a quarrel, I took a peek when I entered and saw that the emperor's face was covered in ink! Those people dared to do this to the emperor's face... they were too courageous!"
"Those people, be careful what you say. Those are the emperor's old friends. You must not offend them!"
"No, no, they are not old friends. They have a better relationship than friends. I have heard one or two gossips from the imperial guards. The emperor treats those in the palace as relatives, and their status is the same as that of the emperor's relatives. From now on, we When you see it, you must be respectful!"
"Everyone, be silent and don't talk nonsense. How can a relationship that can come and go freely in the emperor's palace be normal? We can't reveal a word of what we saw tonight, otherwise we will be careful of misfortune!"
I don't know who opened the mouth to scold, and then the mouths of all the slaves were blocked, and they did not dare to say any more.
In the dormitory, Wei Li spent a while to wipe off the ghostly symbols on his face. In addition, after being tickled, he felt even more tired than being beaten directly.
But I was extremely happy in my heart.
Only in front of these closest people can he temporarily put down his pretense, no longer need to be wise or calm, and become Wei Li again.
Not Nangong Qingyu.
"How are my grandpa, grandma, and the others in good health? Where are my master and my wife? I've finished the big leaf tea I brought from home last time. Did you bring me some?" He picked up a drum stool and squeezed into the crowded room. At the dinner table, Wei Li just joined in this atmosphere and felt as if he had returned to the small courtyard in Tubei Mountain, feeling relaxed physically and mentally.
"I've brought it with me. My grandpa and grandma also brought you the dried bacon at home. I'll give it to you later." Tianbao ate leisurely and his movements were pleasing to the eye. "In addition to beating you this time, I also want to inquire about something."
"What's the matter?" Wei Li was surprised.
What matters, big and small, worthy of attention in Dai Viet are things that Wang Que Lou doesn’t know about, and why should he come to him to inquire about them?
"It's about Nan Sang borrowing the road." Tian Bao said concisely and to the point.
After hearing this, Wei Li didn't hold anything back and told the whole thing in detail from beginning to end.
"Nam Sang borrowed the passage half a year ago. In order to show their sincerity and put pressure on Dai Viet, they specially sent the eldest grandson of the emperor, who was the most favored in the dynasty, to come over for a personal discussion. I refused forcefully. At that time, I discussed the matter in detail with the court officials. However, this method cannot be borrowed. Once the gate of the country is opened and the Nan Sang army is allowed to enter, it is equivalent to putting tigers into an iron cage with sheep. The first one to suffer is likely to be Dai Viet."
Bai Yu and Tianbao looked at each other, and then asked, "How many personal guards did the emperor's eldest grandson bring with him when he came?"
"What do you mean by asking like that?" Wei Li became aware that something was going on behind his back, and his face became serious. "Although I am restricted by my status and cannot travel around with you, I am worthy of being the backbone of the rear. Why can't you tell me directly?"
"It's not that I won't tell you, it's because we haven't confirmed it yet. Why don't we just come to you to inquire about the news." Su An smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You really haven't been involved in this matter. At that time, you were already He went to join the army. At that time, several people came from Fengyun City to pick fights, and finally they boarded the Bijifang Arena and had a fight with Uncle Ziyi. I wonder if Uncle Ziyi still has an impression?"
Ziyi was stunned, trying to rummage through his memory, and managed to find out such a thing, "Is it the time when Tianbao carried half a moon-drinking knife and chopped off the opponent's butt?"
Tianbao's chopsticks froze in mid-air, "..."
The old man and the three brothers from the Su family said, "Pfft! Hahahaha! That's the time!"
Bai Yu suppressed his laughter and added another chopstick to the girl's bowl to appease her, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. You were young at that time and it's not your fault that you were short. Come on, eat the vegetables!"
Tianbao's expression was visibly depressed and he couldn't eat anymore.
It was obviously a majestic scene, but just because of that knife, people in the inner city can still laugh when talking about it. Do you think she doesn't know?
"Those people... are related to Nan Sang?" Ziyi tried his best to remain serious, lest the little girl's self-esteem would continue to be hurt.
Bai Yu nodded, "The skills used by those people back then were the Five Luo Sword Techniques from Guiyi Pavilion, and Tianbao received confirmation from his master that the tattoo patterns leaking from those people's wrists were the totems of the Dalong nobles, so Later, Tianbao and I went to Darong and spent two years finding out where the Guiyi Pavilion headquarters was."
There are dark spots everywhere outside Guiyi Pavilion, but the location of the headquarters is extremely mysterious, and even Wangque Tower cannot find its trace.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much time picking out Gui Yi Pavilion.
"Many things happened one after another. Combining various signs and evidence, we speculated that the real manipulator behind Guiyi Pavilion was related to the royal family of a certain country." Bai Yu continued, "But this time when we came back from Xiling, Tianbao and I reorganized the previous We reviewed the matter several times and found errors and omissions. We have been stumbled by what happened in the past few years and were led astray. We had a head-on confrontation with Wen Renjing and stirred Dongpu into troubled waters, but we forgot the most important thing at the beginning. A little evidence."
He paused, raised his eyes and glanced around. His dining companions all stopped their chopsticks, waiting for him to finish.
Bai Yu smiled, "When those people were about to escape from the exile, they communicated secretly at the dock, speaking the local language of Nansang. Totems can be disguised, and martial arts moves can be disguised, but most of the subconscious accents used when communicating in secret cannot be disguised. "
"So we guess that those people were not from Dalong, but from Nansang."
