Before Liu Mingzhi knocked on the door, the door of the palace quietly opened, and a gray-haired old man walked out.

Although the old man has gray hair, he is meticulous in taking care of it, and he is restrained at will with a wooden hairpin, although he is already old, the old man's face is ruddy and shiny, but the chin is extremely smooth.

Liu Mingzhi was a little stunned, and immediately understood that this should be the eunuch who served Li Yugang from the palace when he was still the prince.

It's just that the years have passed, and they are all old.

"The old slave Li Ming has seen the princess, Lord Liu, the generals!"

Li Mingbin was polite, Liu Mingzhi and the others naturally didn't dare to hold the shelf, and hugged a fist and saluted back: "Junior, Liu Mingzhi has seen his seniors!" ”

Li Ming smiled lightly and nodded, obviously satisfied with the behavior of Liu Mingzhi and the others: "The prince has been waiting in the hall for a long time, and he specially sent the old slave to wait for you to come!" ”

"Thank you!"

Liu Mingzhi deliberately made a mistake with the third princess, and followed Li Ming into Li Yugang's palace for the first time.

The third princess had obviously seen the layout of the palace without the slightest surprise, and Liu Dashao and the others were a little stunned when they saw the bare layout in the palace.

In addition to a few rockeries and a martial arts arena, there is no arrangement that can show the identity of Li Yugang's prince.

It can be said that it can't even be compared to the courtyard of an ordinary rich man, if it weren't for the name on the card, Liu Mingzhi and the others really thought they had entered the wrong place!

"Third princess, is this really the mansion of Duke Ming?"

The third princess nodded with a somewhat depressed expression: "I can't believe it, right, when I saw it for the first time, I couldn't believe that this was the mansion of an imperial prince and noble, how could such a royal uncle who likes simplicity and elegance have a relationship with the White Lotus Sect?" ”

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding? The third princess is relieved! ”

Walking through the corridors, everyone stopped in front of a large hall, and Li Ming stopped outside the hall and said in a somewhat sharp voice: "Lord Wang, the guests have arrived!" ”

"Yan'er, Liu boy, since you're here, you might as well come in!"

Li Ming smiled lightly and nodded: "The old slave retires, please!" ”

Liu Mingzhi tidied up his robe: "Ming Gong, the kid asked to see, it's rude!" ”

Song Qingyi stopped Liu Mingzhi: "Third brother, since I entered the mansion, I haven't seen a single guard or a subordinate, will there be any fraud, be careful!" ”

Liu Mingzhi nodded indifferently, revealing a wry smile: "I'm afraid that things may be easier than we think, who can say accurately!" ”

"Third princess, was this the case last time you came?"

Song Qing was still not at ease, so he had to ask the third princess.

The third princess also shook her head blankly: "The last time I came to the emperor's uncle's mansion, there were more than three hundred guards, and forty or fifty maids shuttled like a cloud, how can it be so desolate as now." ”

Liu Mingzhi signaled that the two of them didn't have to worry: "Big brother, you and your brothers are waiting outside, and I can go in with the third princess!" ”

Song Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded indifferently: "Okay, be careful with everything, if something is wrong, drop the cup!" ”

"Third princess, please!"

The third princess nervously grabbed Liu Mingzhi's arm: "Liu Mingzhi, I'm afraid, why do I feel so weird?" ”

Before Liu Mingzhi could speak, Li Yugang's voice came: "Yan'er, stupid boy, what are you afraid of, Uncle Huang can still hurt you, come in with confidence, drink a cup of tea, the best Jinshan Yunwu usually Uncle Huang is not willing to take a sip!" ”

Liu Mingzhi let the third princess pull her arm and walked in, and walked into the hall, where a precious but simple carpet was laid on the floor.

Simplicity reveals elegance.

Li Yugang knelt in front of a small table and boiled tea, and as soon as the two of them entered the hall, they smelled a refreshing smell of tea that permeated the entire hall.

"Uncle Huang!"

"Ming Gong!"

Li Yugang raised his head and nodded gently, closed the lid of the porcelain jar in his hand, and placed it on the table.

With a light smile, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the futons on both sides: "Sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Ming Gong!"

"Thank you, Uncle Huang!"

Li Yugang poured a cup of tea for each of them: "It's time to come after all, the old man has been waiting these days, and he always hopes that this day will be slower and slower, but the sunrise and sunset are the time of the day, no matter how slow it is, where can it be slow?" ”

Liu Mingzhi picked up a cup of slightly hot tea and blew it: "Jinshan Yunmist, the gentleman in the tea, Ming Gong is kind-hearted, and the younger generation admires it!" ”

The third princess stared at the two of them without saying a word with a teacup, not knowing what they were thinking!

Li Yugang was dull for a long time, and after waiting until the temperature of the tea was moderate, he drank the tea as soon as possible: "It's just self-comfort, but it's better to say that you know that you can't escape your fate!" ”

Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Yugang with an indifferent expression, and put the clean tea on the table: "Contrary to the expectations of the younger generation, does Ming Gong admit it?" ”

Li Yugang looked at the desolate scenery outside the hall with a complicated expression, sighed silently, stared at the pretty face of the third princess for a while, and showed a faint smile: "There are many spy shadows, everywhere, in order to pave the way for your kid, the imperial brother is really willing to give up!" ”

This time, it was Liu Mingzhi's turn to be puzzled, why did he hear what many people said, could there be anything only he was kept in the dark?

Quietly glanced at the third princess Liu Mingzhi opposite, and his heart sank, and a bad premonition came to his heart again.

"Ming Gong, why do you choose the most unsuitable path for the three thousand avenues? Can you tell the kid why? ”

Li Yugang added a small piece of wood to the small stove, and the flame suddenly became more vigorous.

I faintly heard the sound of boiling water.

Although the sound is small, it is a unique note compared to the quiet hall.

Li Yugang looked at Liu Mingzhi's expression a little complicated: "Ten years of planning, hard work, the old man didn't calculate that it would be destroyed in the hands of a little girl called Ruyi in a green building, the reason is because of ten taels of silver, ten taels of silver broke the old man's plan for ten years, I really don't know how to express it!" ”

Liu Mingzhi's hand holding the teacup sank: "If the kid wants to talk about Jiang E, the kid just hit it by mistake, do you believe it?" The kid didn't expect that in order to avenge Ruyi for his own selfishness, he would dig out a shocking secret, and if you want to blame, you can only blame it for making people! ”

"If you didn't have that list, would you guess this matter on the old man?"

"To tell you the truth, I won't, I didn't even think about the tax and silver matters, but I didn't expect to get so many unexpected things from the girl in the Yanyu Pavilion, and I didn't expect that except for the matter of the Empress of the Jin Kingdom, the Jiangnan Bandit Suppression would be a play directed and acted by Ming Gong, and it can only be said that everything is too much coincidence."

Li Yugang sneered: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and the Qinglou will be defeated and the Qinglou will be defeated, just thinking about using the Qinglou to cover people's eyes and ears, but he can't imagine that the Qinglou is also full of people and eyes, and the three religions and nine streams are even more mixed, after all, he still didn't hold it!" ”

Liu Mingzhi lifted the teapot and poured tea for Li Yugang: "Ming Gong is sitting and drinking tea so indifferently today, I don't think it's for the sake of the kid!" ”

Li Yugang's expression was indifferent, and his eyes showed a hint of longing for memories.

"The moment Yan'er appeared in the palace, the old man knew that he had lost, and he couldn't fight! I couldn't fight before, but I still can't fight now! ”
