Chapter 53: Innocence

June locked himself in the house all day and didn't come out, Yuan Bin was helpless about this, and Xu Bai was also very helpless.

What is the little girl's mind thinking, whether it is for teenagers, young people, or even middle-aged people like Yuan Bin, it is a very difficult problem to understand, and for problems, most men put the problems aside first and are busy with the easy things they do.

When Luo Badao came, he brought a ruler, and when he heard that it was only Xu Bai who entered Nangong, Xu Bai and Yuan Bin both saw him and breathed a sigh of relief almost slightly, obviously in his heart, he also had his own plan, and the three of them knew each other, after all, Xu Bai went in alone, compared to Her Royal Highness the princess going in, everyone's risk was much smaller.

He used a ruler to measure Xu Bai's figure up and down, more carefully than the tailor who made the clothes, which made Xu Bai have a bad premonition, and at night two days later, he finally understood why he had that uncomfortable premonition in the first place.

What was in front of him was simply a dog hole, a dog hole that was not much bigger than his head, if there were also dogs in Nangong.

"Hurry up, you have about two hundred fingers left!" Luo Badao's face was nervous and said in front of him: "I still have time to bury the hole, when I come out, it is three minutes of ugliness, you have to remember clearly, there must be no mistake at all!" ”

Except for the close-fitting clothes, the coat on his body, and the iron ruler he carried, all the things were left outside the cave, Xu Bai had his own cloud talisman in his mouth, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment to drill into the hole.

The hole should not be long, after the head enters, he can see the faint light of the opposite hole, but this hole is too narrow, every time he advances, it seems that he is embedding himself in the wall of the cave, the person who digs the hole is very skillful, he even feels the sharp pain of several sharp stones on his body when he squeezes forward hard.

As soon as he entered, he felt clods of earth spill on his feet, and after a short pause, he heard the sound of neat footsteps mixed with the clashing of weapons coming from a distance unhurriedly.

That's the patrolling janissaries.

He held his breath and didn't dare to move, Luo Badao was afraid that he had already hidden, and the patrolling guards clicked past behind him without any abnormality, until the footsteps were far away, he took a breath again, and crawled towards the bright hole not far away.

The hole in the exit was narrower, but the mud was not very hard, and after pushing the mud through it, he drilled his head out.

Before he could take a look at his surroundings, a dark shadow floated from nowhere, blocking all the light.

He struggled to raise his head, but he could only raise his head, except for his head, the part of his neck was still in the hole.

Look at each other!

A pair of eyes with a little doubt, looking at him, the owner of the eyes, squatting on the ground, holding a branch in his hand, seemed to be hesitating something.

"Yuan Bin's subordinate Xu Bai, risking his life to see the emperor!"

Xu Bai didn't think about it, he directly spit out the cloud talisman in his mouth, and said in a low voice and urgently.

He felt that he didn't want to know what it was like to hit the branch in the other party's hand on his head, and at this time, it was the right thing to do to report his identity first and not let the other party panic or scream.

And Yuan Bin's font size is definitely better than his Xu Bai's font size.

The person squatting in front of him picked up the cloud talisman he spit out, rubbed it in his hand, and looked at it in front of his eyes, the branch in his hand kept swaying in front of Xu Bai, but he didn't scream or pump the branch into Xu Bai's face.

"Your name is Xu Bai?"

The man slowly stood up, asked softly, and dropped the branch with his hand, Xu Bai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come out, be gentle, don't make a noise!" The man slowly walked towards the front, and Xu Bai hurriedly squeezed out of the hole, for fear that the man would get lost if he was not careful.

Fortunately, the man walked a few steps, stood still under a railing, and did not leave, Xu Bai was relieved, shook off the dirt on his body, and walked towards the man.

This seems to be a garden, at least it used to be a garden, Xu Bai was a little curious, this overgrown place, how did this person know that he would appear from this place at this time.

The man saw him walk out and walked towards the place where there was a light, and Xu Bai followed while looking at the surroundings.

Withered, dilapidated, this is his first feeling when he enters Nangong, in the huge courtyard, there is a flickering light in the middle of the room, it is dark everywhere, if you come in the daytime, it probably doesn't feel much, but at this time, Xu Bai feels that this Nangong is a ghost house.

"Are you here to save this Nangong?" The man sat down in a chair under the lamplight, rubbing Xu Bai's cloud talisman in his hand, and suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty!?" Xu Bai's body stiffened, and he looked at the person in front of him with some disbelief, the other party was thirty or forty years old, his hair was messy, his eye sockets were sunken, and the clothes on his body seemed to have two patches.

This person is actually the Emperor? In the middle of the night, the third watch wandered around the emperor with a branch in this haunted mansion-like courtyard?

"There are no palace maids and eunuchs in Nangong!" This man's eyes were a little hollow, but he kept rubbing the cloud rune, as if this cloud rune could bring him warmth.

"Minister Xu Bai, I've seen Your Majesty!" Xu Bai no longer had the slightest doubt, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"I ask you, are you here to save me from this hellish place?" Zhu Qizhen's tone was a little more impatient, and he asked again.

"The minister risked death to enter the palace at the behest of His Majesty!" Xu Bai replied.

Zhu Qizhen was silent, as if he was stunned, just sitting there, a gust of wind blew in from outside, and Xu Bai, who was just wearing intimate clothes, couldn't help but shiver.

And all this, Zhu Qizhen didn't seem to see it, just like a wood carving clay sculpture, motionless.

After a full half of the ring, he slowly spoke, "How many people are here from the hidden guards?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty!" Xu Bai was excited: "At this moment, I will be alone!" ”

"What about the other Commanders?" Zhu Qizhen said: "What about your commander? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, the minister met Yuan Bin in the south of the Yangtze River, and without being recruited, he entered the South Palace at night, which is already a violation of the rules of the hidden guard, except for the hidden guard led by the minister, other people, where do the ministers dare to inquire!"

He lowered his head: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes!" Please punish Your Majesty! ”

He could hear Zhu Qizhen on his head, and let out a long sigh of relief, although his body was still a little trembling, but it seemed that the gloomy feeling in the room had become much weaker with Zhu Qizhen's long breath.

Sure enough, the next moment, a slightly angry voice was delivered to his ears.

"Innocent, get up!"
