In the house of the Ministry of Rites, Shuming sat at the table and drank tea gently, although his movements were quite leisurely, but the anxiety that appeared between his eyebrows still revealed his thoughts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A small servant entered from the door, and Shuming quickly put down the teacup and sat up straight. The little servant came to Shuming's front and saluted him respectfully, "Master Shu, our master said that Master Shu is a distinguished guest from afar and should be entertained, but unfortunately, as soon as Master Shu arrived here, our master received a summons from His Royal Highness the Prince." The lord ordered, let us clean up the guest room, and wait carefully. Master Shu, please wait with peace of mind, our master will be back tomorrow! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......" Shuming shook his head, "No, the old man suddenly remembered that there was still an old man who had not visited, so he left first!" With that, he raised his sleeves and left.

In the East Palace, Leng Lichen looked at Luo Wei in the center of the main hall and sneered, "You old thing is vigilant, but you are a little smart!" ”

When Luo Wei heard this, he was shocked, it was rumored in the imperial capital that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was at odds with the Prince, and he himself knew a thing or two about the events of the year, so as soon as he heard that Shuming had found him, he hurriedly came to the East Palace to tell the prince, but now it seems that the prince is not very happy. In fact, according to his former friendship with Shuming, he could have completely concealed this matter, but in his current form. Although the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, he is already in control! This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not as easy to fool as the current emperor, of course, even if he has this heart, he doesn't have the courage!

Luo Wei said worriedly, "I don't understand. ”

Leng Lichen didn't explain, but said, "You go back now, use your private contact information to contact Shuming, and if he asks you to do something, do it!" With that, he paused, "Anything!" Remember, ask fewer questions and do more! ”

Although he was puzzled, Lowe still responded.

In the teahouse, Luo Wei pushed open the door of the private room and saw Shuming looking out the window sullenly, his brows furrowed.

Lowe walked in with a smile, "Oh, brother, we haven't seen each other in a long time!" ”

Shuming turned his head to look at Luo Wei, his brows still did not relax, he smiled reluctantly, "It's been more than ten years!" ”

"yes, more than ten years!" Lowe walked over to him and sat down across from him, filling his empty quilt with tea and adding another cup to himself. Luo Wei put down the teapot, looked at Shuming and asked, "I don't know what is the important matter for the old brother to return to the imperial capital alone?" ”

Seeing that he had asked, Shuming didn't beat around the bush, he nodded and said in a deep voice, "There is something!" ”

"If the elder brother has anything to do, as long as he can use the younger brother, he just commands. I should have treated my brother well today, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be in such a hurry to find me, little brother, I ...... Hehe......" Luo Wei raised the teacup in his hand and said, "Madame doesn't let the younger brother drink, and the younger brother will toast the elder brother with tea instead of wine, which will be regarded as making amends to the elder brother!" ”

Shuming hurriedly grabbed his hand and said with a straight face, "You have broken up the friendship between you and me like this!" However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in such a hurry to find you, there must be something urgent! ”

Luo Wei patted the table, "Be in a hurry, the second prince of the Western Kingdom has made a fuss in the Western Kingdom, and he has also extended his hand to our border, don't you say it's in a hurry?" ”

"The second prince of the Western Kingdom?" Shuming's heart was shocked, it turned out that it was not his escape that was exposed! He smiled and said, "I've only heard that there is a prince in the Western Kingdom, but I haven't heard of a second prince!" ”

Luo Wei heard him ask, and his eyes were suddenly full of light, "If you want to say that these two princes were found by your daughter, Princess Shurou today, my brother!" At the beginning, Princess Shurou ran away from home and met the second prince of the Western Kingdom who was chased and killed by the forces of the rivers and lakes, and helped him through the danger. Later, the royal family of the Western Kingdom sent someone to find the second prince. To say that this second prince is also quite legendary, I heard that he is cruel, disobedient to his parents, and beats his brothers, ignoring etiquette and law, but he is also resourceful, outstanding in martial arts, in the West he said one no one dares to say two! Although Luo Wei was talking about Yubai on the surface, he was secretly observing Shuming's reaction.

Shuming listened absentmindedly, and was very anxious as he watched Luo Wei detour the topic further and further. Luo Wei still looked that leisurely, although he said that he wanted to help Shuming, but deliberately did not mention the content of help, but did not say some old polite words. Finally, Shuming couldn't wait any longer, he stood up suddenly, arched his hand towards Luo Wei and said, "Brother Luo, Shu has something to ask for!" ”

Luo Wei seemed to react and patted his head and said, "Look, look, my brain, I'm so happy to see my old brother, I patronized and reminisced, and I forgot about my old brother for a while!" Brother, please speak! ”

Shuming said solemnly, "Shu's request to meet the emperor!" ”

"What! This ......" Luo Wei looked at Shuming in embarrassment, "Brother, it's not me who excuses me here, but you also know how the emperor will react if he sees you, and if I don't get it right, my head will fall to the ground!" ”

Seeing Luo Wei shrink and shake his head, Shu Ming's eyes flashed, he lowered his head slightly, and when he was about to give up, he suddenly heard Luo Wei sigh heavily, "However, I can try my best." The emperor seems to be in a good mood these days, I'll try it! ”

Shuming's eyes flashed with dismay, and he nodded again and again. As long as he meets the emperor, he can make Leng Lichen recognize clearly who is Lao Tzu!

In the East Palace, Leng Lichen looked at the note in his hand - the fish had been hooked and was placed in the mansion at the moment. Leng Lichen's face evoked a slightly cool smile, and the note was handed to the shadow behind him. Shadow took the note, walked over to the lantern, removed the lampshade, and placed the note on the flame, which soon turned into a mass of ashes. Ying put down the lampshade and looked at Leng Lichen and asked, "My subordinates don't understand, why don't you just take Shuming down in Twilight City, but let him escape to the imperial capital, and let him expose such a bad thing for you!" ”

Leng Lichen pushed open the window, and a gust of wind came in, blowing the candle flame on the table flickering, and even the light and shadow projected on Leng Lichen's broad back also shook. He whispered, "In a thing, there must be advantages and disadvantages, but it depends on whether the pros and cons are obvious." The advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are weak, but the weakness does not mean that there is non-existent. And fortune is not static, it is also possible that the appearance of a small and insignificant person or thing will change the outcome of the whole thing. ”

Ying scratched his hair and looked at Leng Lichen with a tangled expression, "Master, just say it directly!" I don't understand! ”

Leng Lichen turned around and looked at the movie coolly, "It's still Mo!" What I do, he can understand without saying it! Let's talk to you so! My background has always been a hidden danger, even if it is not revealed by Shuming, someone will always expose it! Shuming is cunning and selfish, he has been planning for so many years, and the only thing that is becoming more and more uncontrollable is my mind, and now he has no chips in his hand, and he finds that he can't control me anymore, so he plans to destroy the chess pieces he cultivated with his own hands. ”

"You're saying he's going to die with you? No, I'm going to kill that old fox! Shadow tightened the sword in his hand and was about to go out. Leng Lichen turned around and said coldly, "Kill him, someone will definitely come to expose my background, you must know that Shuming is an old fox, how could he come to the imperial capital alone without leaving a back hand, it is impossible for him not to know that this is our territory." If you do kill him, then I will have one more charge of murder. ”

Shadow stomped her foot in place, "So what now?" ”

"Wait!"

"Wait...... What are you waiting for? Shadow asked strangely. At this time, a carrier pigeon jumped on the windowsill, looked at the carrier pigeon and said, "It's coming!" ”

The person who transmitted the sound was Yun Mo, they had already returned to the imperial capital, and they would be able to enter the city tomorrow when the city gate opened! Ying leaned over and glanced at the contents of the note, and hope flashed in his eyes, Yun Gongzi was coming back! Now there is salvation!

Leng Lichen glanced at the shadow who didn't realize that his master was already angry. Leng Lichen thought depressedly, doesn't he seem to be as smart as Yun Mo? Why did he think that he was so calm, but he thought that he had encountered a big incident? Leng Lichen didn't know, because he usually had that kind of cold expression, joy, anger, sorrow and joy were not easy to show, and sometimes the more anxious he was, the more calm he became, so Ying naturally regarded his calmness as a habitual calmness! Leng Lichen stretched out his hand to drive away the carrier pigeon on the windowsill, hum, his lady reads the Taoist book every day, and now even his subordinates are talking about Yun Mo, and the people around him have been snatched away by their little couple. Does he want to just let them in?

"What are you thinking? Actually holding a pigeon to? A nice female voice came from the doorway. Ying saw Shen Mo hurriedly saluting and retreating. Shen Mo walked over and gently took the pigeon from Leng Lichen's hand. Leng Lichen naturally reached out and put his arm around her shoulder and asked softly, "Why don't you sleep so late?" ”

"If you sleep, this pigeon will probably be strangled to death by you!" Shen Mo laughed. Leng Lichen glanced at the pigeon that was arrogantly staying in Shen Mo's hand, and asked sullenly, "Am I so cruel?" ”

"No, you're not cruel at all!" Shen Mo left his embrace with a smile, looked at the pigeon in his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, you can bake it for Shu'er to eat!" ”

Cold Dust: ......

"Books, books, how can it be books every day! You're not afraid that Mo will be jealous! Leng Lichen took Shen Mo's hand, his eyes staring at the innocent pigeon viciously.

Shen Mo looked at him competing with a pigeon and sneered, "Okay, I won't tease you!" Are you done with your business? ”

Leng Lichen saw her asking, his eyes flashed with a strange light, "What advice does the crown princess have?" ”

Shen Mo patted him on the shoulder and said arrogantly, "No advice, go to sleep!" You've been up all night! ”

"Yes!" Leng Lichen's face hooked up a pleasant arc, and he chased up and picked up Shen Mo and strode out.

In a large mansion on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Shuwu, who used to call for wind and rain in the library, is now tied with hemp rope and unable to move.

With a squeak, the door of the firewood room was pushed open, and a strong light shone in, and the light pierced Shuwu so much that he had to close his eyes, and there were hurried footsteps walking in, about two people, no, there was another person with strong martial arts, and the footsteps were very light, so it should be three people!

"It's you!" Shuwu finally got used to the light, and looked at Xia Er, who had caught him a few days ago, and exclaimed.

Xia Er changed her clothes, although she was no longer dressed in black, but her clothes were still plain and featureless. She stood with her hands in her hands, looked down at Shuwu, and said coldly, "Take it away!" ”

Before Shuwu could say anything, he was gagged with a cloth, and his vision was blocked by a burlap bag. Shuwu felt like he had been thrown into a carriage, and his surroundings were so quiet that he couldn't even hear where he was. In the past few days, he has been knocked unconscious and taken on the road, so he can't judge his situation by the voice along the way.

The carriage swayed all the way, and after some time, it suddenly stopped. But there was only a slight pause, and the carriage quickly picked up speed again. At this moment, the wind blew the curtain of the carriage, and brought in the noise outside the carriage.

"Stop, stop! Something, open it and see! ”

Shuwu listened to the voice and thought that this was probably the city gate, but there was such a noisy scene at the city gate. Suddenly, his heart suddenly sudden, could it be that this is the imperial capital! What did this group of people do when they brought them to the imperial capital? Is it really as my father said, Leng Lichen is unwilling to let them go! Shuwu was carried to a place with trepidation, and the door of the room was closed, blocking out all the noise and information.

On this day, Shuming received good news and bad news at the same time. The good news is that the emperor is willing to meet him, and the bad news is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom has returned to the city with Princess Shurou! But the two sides met again at the city gate. Shu Ming steadied himself and reluctantly saluted Yun Mo. Yun Mo didn't pay attention to Shuming, but turned around and hugged Shuli down.

Seeing Shuli, Shuming's gaze dodged and he didn't dare to look directly at her. And Luo Wei didn't know what happened to the few people, so he hurriedly saluted Shuli, and praised Shuming a few words by the way. Who knew that Shuli didn't even glance at Shuming, turned around and entered the imperial city gate, and Yun Mo chased away. Only Lowe, who was confused, looked at Shuming awkwardly and smiled. Only then did he remember that this Princess Shurou had just returned from the Twilight City's Library? Why did this Shuming let his daughter go home and rushed to the imperial city first, and asked to see the emperor in such a hurry? I think of what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said - ask less questions and do more! Lowe's face turned pale, and he hurriedly pretended not to know.

Shuming looked at Luo Wei's pretending to be stupid, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he attacked Shuli in Twilight City, Shuli and Yun Mo, the prince of the northern kingdom, should not know why he started, so they will not report Leng Lichen. Explained in this way, everything seems to make sense. Thinking of this, Shu Ming suddenly exhaled a breath of turbidity, touched his beard, and walked towards the gate of the imperial city with a determined gaze.

Luo Wei took Shuming to the door of the emperor's dormitory, and did not go in, but turned to Shuming and said, "Old brother, go in by yourself!" It's inconvenient for me to go in! The younger brother went home first, and prepared a banquet to make up for the haste of the day! ”

Shuming thought to himself, I'm afraid I'm not blessed to enjoy your banquet! However, he thanked him again and again before entering the main hall. Luo Wei looked at his resolute back and shook his head, although he didn't know what was going on here, but now that the situation in the imperial capital has changed greatly, anyone who disagrees with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not end well!
