Yiwang Mansion

King Yi Yejie invited Bai Tu into the palace of King Yi, and set up a small banquet in the back garden, Bai Tu went to the back garden under the leadership of the person arranged by King Yi, and there was one person waiting there in addition to Yeji. ——It is King Yi's beloved concubine Shen Anran.

Bai Tu had never seen Ye Ji, nor had he seen Shen Anran. Yelan had mentioned Yeyan to him, but he didn't mention this Shen Anran, and when he saw Shen Anran's face today, he understood why Yelan favored her alone.

Shen Anran was dressed in a plain white long dress, which made her skin more icy and jade, as white as frost. A pair of beautiful and smart starry eyes are breathtaking, so beautiful that Bai Tu was attracted by her beauty as soon as he saw her, but fortunately he couldn't see it through the mask night, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Yeji was dressed in a pale yellow robe, with a sense of majesty but a hint of uninhibitedness. But his looks ...... Shu Bai Tu really didn't dare to compliment. - Slender eyes, a pair of sword eyebrows, a hooked nose, and a mouth with a slightly upward curve.

In fact, the appearance of these various organs is not too bad, but for some reason, when put together, it is not about how it looks, but it just makes people feel that there is a sense of treachery and tyranny, then again, this adjective is exactly the same as the rumors of Ye Ji himself in the outside world, which can be said to be an inexplicable coincidence.

None of this is the point. Bai Tu walked over calmly, showing a sense of confidence and stability, because of the mask and costumes, so he had a sense of mystery all over his body.

Ye Ji got up and arched his hand to Bai Tu, who politely returned the salute, and at the same time glanced sideways at Shen Anran. Shen Anran sat there dignified, with a smile on his face, and had the temperament of a lady, which was also the reason why Yeji liked her. - Although they are all beautiful women, Shen Anran's family education and aristocratic temperament are incomparable to those women in the land of fireworks.

"Bai Gongzi, please take a seat. The night was kind and made a "please" gesture to Bai Tu. His title made Bai Tu a little surprised, compared with "Childe" and "Elder", the elder was a little more majestic, but Childe was a little more intimate and relaxed, making the atmosphere less stiff.

Bai Tu sat down, Ye Ji dismissed his subordinates, and personally poured a cup of tea for Bai Tu. Bai Tu took a sip, looked at Ye Ji with some mysterious playfulness, and said, "His Royal Highness King Yi is talking to me about a deal in King Yi's Mansion, so I'm not afraid that your father will be suspicious of you?"

"If this king meets his son in secret, my father's bond may be even deeper. Ye Ji answered the questions fluently, without the slightest panic, and the answers were full of wisdom.

Bai Tu didn't think that such an answer could come out of Ye Ji's mouth, he felt that this answer was Shen Anran's answer, if he guessed correctly, before he came, Shen Anran had already planned a statement for King Yi. He raised his eyes to look at Shen Anran, who was calm and calm, which just confirmed his guess.

Bai Tu smiled, "Your Highness is a smart person, far smarter than I thought. ”

"Childe has won the prize. ”

"I don't have to say much politely, to His Royal Highness, Bai Mou is also straight to the point and talks about the deal directly. Bai Tu changed his tone, "I wonder what deal His Royal Highness King Yi wants to negotiate with the Temple?"

Ye Ji exchanged glances with Shen Anran, and said in a low voice, "Is Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, under house arrest by Ye Shu?"

For this question, Bai Tu is a little surprised. After hearing this, he showed a surprised look, and soon returned to normal, he called a disciple to ask a few words in a low voice, and then turned his head to look at Ye Ji, and smiled without saying a word.

Ye Ji knew what Bai Tu meant, so he ordered someone to bring over a small box, and when he opened it, it was twenty gold ingots. Bai Tu swept his gaze and replied, "King Yi's guess is right. ”

Ye Ji suddenly became angry, and slapped his palm on the table, Shen Anran pulled Ye Ji's sleeve, Ye Ji controlled his anger, Shen Anran opened his mouth and said to Bai Tu, "Bai Gongzi, the deal that His Royal Highness wants to negotiate is to hope that the temple will secretly rescue my father Shen Kuo and send him to King Yi's Mansion safely." ”

After speaking, the attendant brought up two large chests, which were full of gold, silver and jewelry, and Bai Tu's heart blossomed with joy at that time. - Yelan promised him that he got the gold and silver treasures and took half of them to fund his ice cavalry.

Bai Tu nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: This King Yi is really rich, and his hands are as generous as his father. Rescuing Shen Kuo is not difficult to do, not to mention that the Temple Ice Guard Regiment is doing this in the first place. - The Temple has a fifth captain in addition to the four, to be held by Bai Tu.

The Ice Guards under the command of Bai Tu are divided into Ice Guards and Ice Cavalry, the Ice Cavalry is responsible for fighting and guarding, and the Ice Guards are taken out by Bai Tu to take personal work. To put it bluntly, it is to obtain money by doing things for others, and because of the name of the temple, the fee standard of Bingwei is very high, and the oil and water are very rich.

Bingwei is the main source of income for the temple, which was initially established in the time of Long Aoming and perfected when Long Yaotian was perfected, and now he is familiar with doing this kind of thing, but this is the first time that Bingwei has done things for the royal family.

"The king knew that the temple had always had a good reputation, and when he received it, he kept it a secret. Nightshade spoke suddenly.

"Naturally. Bai Tu said calmly.

"Then if this king adds a few more boxes of gold and silver to Bai Gongzi, Bai Gongzi is willing to reveal a little bit about the things that his father ordered the temple to do. Night's tone was frivolous, with a sense of ill will.

"His Royal Highness King Yi, is this a temptation for me?" Bai Tu smiled comfortably, like a breeze blowing, not alarmed.

Nightshade shrugged and said no more. Shen Anran got up at this time and said to Bai suddenly very politely, "Bai Gongzi, give you a ride safely." ”

Bai Tu was a little different, but he still smiled politely in return, "There is Princess Lao." ”

The two walked side by side, and Bai Tu's gaze quietly glanced at Shen Anran from the gap in the mask. His gaze was a little timid, as if he was secretly doing something bad, and he only dared to glance at her cautiously.

Inadvertently, Bai Tu glanced at the purse tied around Shen Anran's waist, and the purse was embroidered with a tulip, Bai Tu felt that the style of the purse was no different, but it attracted his attention for some reason.

He thought it was his own illusion, but when his eyes crossed, he saw a tattoo on Shen Anran's arm, if he guessed correctly, it was a black rose. The black rose is a symbol of darkness...... Why did Shen Anran tattoo such a totem on his arm?

Bai Tu glanced at Shen Anran again, he really couldn't think of such a noble woman, beautiful and elegant, with dignified manners...... But the black rose suddenly subverted her image, making Bai Tu feel inexplicably frightened.

"Bai Gongzi. Shen Anran interrupted Bai Tu's thoughts with a soft call, Bai Tu came back to his senses and found that he had arrived at the gate of King Yi's Mansion, he made a gesture to Shen Anran, and Shen Anran returned the salute. The disciples of the temple were waiting at the gate of King Yi's mansion, and the treasure had already been loaded into the car, Bai suddenly nodded, and then left.

Dusk folded the long line and stared at the earth with black eyes. The capital is still very lively, with sons and buddies gathering in groups of three and two in the green buildings and restaurants, merchants and vendors setting up stalls, and literati and ink writers sipping tea in the teahouse, talking about the new works of the literary master Han Xiangzi.

After transporting the treasure from the secret path, the temple disciple asked Bai Tudao, "Elder, where are we staying tonight?"

Before leaving, Yelan told him not to spend the night in Kyoto. Bai Tu pondered for a moment, and instructed his disciple, "Clean up the Kyoto Restaurant, and rest in the restaurant for the night tonight." ”

"Yes. "The disciple made a move.

......

"Your Excellency. A soldier quietly walked up to Nangong Shadow in a night suit in the dark. Nangong Ying has been standing in the dark watching Bai Tu's every move, his dark pupils emitting a dazzling light like a sharp arrow in the dark night, his eyes narrowed to one place, and the aura he exuded was terrifying.

"The Centaurs of the Temple will be staying in Kyoto tonight, right in the Temple's lair. The soldier said to Nangong Ying.

"This time it's their own death. Nangong Ying said coldly, the flat curvature of the corners of her mouth looked very cold-blooded and terrifying. The soldier understood what Nangong Ying meant, he nodded and replied quickly and neatly, "Don't worry, the second place will not disappoint your lord." ”

The dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars. The night fog hit, and under the hazy moonlight, there were few stars in sight. The sky was not pure black, but a vast deep blue in the black, stretching into the distance, into the distance.

Suddenly, the wind rose, and the wind blew the curtains very high all of a sudden, and in the dark night, several people dressed in night clothes and masked with black veils quietly moved to the front of the Kyoto restaurant. There was no one guarding the door of the restaurant, and the leader of the man in black waved his hand, and the man in black tiptoed close to the restaurant and slowly pushed the door open.

There is no light in the restaurant, and the silence is scary. The men in black walked up the stairs on both sides, their movements very soft, and they did not make a sound. The leader looked around, finally made up his mind, and with a wave of his hand, the men in black quickly pushed the door open, and quickly pulled out the weapons pinned to their waists.

In just one second, everyone's eyes alternated with surprise, panic, fear, shock, and helplessness, and finally ended with vigilance.

"My lord, this!" a man in black carefully grasped the sword in his hand, and asked the leader in a low voice.

The leader of the men in black thought that he had been ambushed, but seeing that no one showed up for a long time, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded decisively, "Withdraw." ”

The black-clothed men were ordered, and retreated in an orderly manner according to the route they had come, and covered the door as they left, leaving no trace.

After they left, a figure slowly stepped out of the corner, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
