Li Ru laughed and said a foul word, "He likes a fart!" He trained in the private army, and although there were not many of them, they still had to be stripped according to the law, and he estimated that he was dissatisfied with me from that time. ”

"Isn't that person behind the scenes Lord Ming?"

"It won't be him, he's just a small-bellied chicken intestine, and I just took his toys."

Li Ru sighed heavily, "You just said that Gongsun Jian beat someone on the street, I already know, I'm afraid that Gongsun Jian's kid also figured out some flavor, deliberately attracted the attention of other high-ranking officials, so that I could see him as soon as possible, so that I could get rid of this cage quickly, but what he didn't know was that the commander of the Praetorian Guard was not worth mentioning in my eyes, and one day he beat the prime minister's son, and he was seriously injured, and maybe I really had to come forward to adjust it at that time." ”

Lu Dongshan raised his head, "But the slave learned that it was Sun Laibao who took the lead in stirring up trouble, and Gongsun Jian defended last." ”

"Oh? Are you sure? Who gave your message? It's a little more nuanced than the message that the Pacification Division gave me. ”

"It's Song Qingming, and he also secretly helped Gongsun Jian."

Li Ru patted his head, "I forgot about him, so to speak, Gongsun Jian didn't want to attract my attention, it seems that his head is ......."

Li Ru did not continue.

Lu Dongshan covered his mouth and chuckled, "Gongsun Jian is the kind of person with big nerves, he never says or thinks too much, what does it look like on the surface, he thinks it is, his temperament is more easy-going, and he belongs to the kind that comes and goes." ”

Li Ru nodded with a smile, "That's fine, if he finds out a day later, I can catch one more fish, so that I can bet with you again, or ten taels of silver." ”

"This ......"

Lu Dongshan hurriedly knelt down in a dilemma, he really didn't dare to accept it now.

"Don't worry, I will never lose this time, and you don't have to be afraid that I won't be able to pay the gambling money, it's a big deal to ask King Ming to borrow a hundred and ten taels as a reward for finding him a good son-in-law."

Lu Dongshan couldn't cry or laugh, and nodded helplessly: "Your Majesty, what are you betting on this time." ”

Li Ru's tone softened, he opened his mouth as if he was thinking, and then he stretched out two fingers and said: "Will Gongsun Jian be in danger tonight, and will Sun Laibao go to the palace to ask for the crime, this time you choose first, don't be in a hurry to say no, this is an oracle!" I bet on whichever you choose. ”

Lu Dongshan swallowed his saliva, and secretly speculated about what His Majesty's intentions were, but how to figure out the Sacred Heart, the most difficult thing in the world is to speculate on the emperor's heart, and the most dangerous thing is to accompany the king, and Lu Dongshan has taken it all at once.

"I'm not in a hurry, you think slowly."

Li got up, wearing only underwear, he walked to the windowsill and stared, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

After thinking about it, Lu Dongshan never knew what His Majesty's intentions were, and in the end he could only choose the option that didn't seem to be so deadly.

"The slave thinks that according to Sun Laibao's evil temperament, he should take the opportunity to go to the palace to provoke, King Ming has never fought with others, and he will definitely not embarrass the juniors, even if Sun Laibao is beaten in vain, he can also pit some silver."

Li Ru snorted, turned around and pointed at the chief eunuch, "You have heard that Sun Laibao has done a lot of evil, it seems that he really can't support the wall, okay, I promise you, if Sun Laibao dares to come to the door to ask for the crime, I will punish him for the crime of disrespecting the royal family!" ”

"Huh?"

Lu Dongshan was stunned, "Your Majesty, don't you want to make a bet?" ”

"Yes, I'm gambling, if Sun Laibao doesn't go to the palace, then their Sun family will be fine, if they go, the Sun family will definitely break their bones. Hey, is Grandpa Lu a little too big to gamble and can't bear it? ”

Lu Dongshan's heart twitched suddenly.

"I also think that the gambling money is a bit big, but if it is not bigger, I will not be able to return the capital."

Lu Dongshan's face was frightened, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

"Alright, you go down first."

Lu Dongshan knelt and retreated.

Li Ru saw the disappearing back of the great eunuch, he chuckled lightly and muttered to himself: "Grandpa Lu, Grandpa Lu, it's rare that you are so attentive to a young man, I will help you, and cultivate a good relationship with that Gongsun Jian is that I am not a man-eating tiger." ”

……

……

In the palace annex, the three people who wanted to report truthfully after returning to the palace learned that Prince Mingqing had gone out again, so they had to leave it, and after dinner, Li Qianying personally took the housekeeper to King Ming's office yamen, this matter must be reported as soon as possible, and I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Brother Gongsun if it is delayed for a long time.

Without the palace where the male master was, Li Lian also sat and talked with Gongsun Jian for a long time at night because of her daughter's poor health, and said goodbye and rested after a few casual greetings.

It was getting late, and the moon was in the sky.

Gongsun Jian sat in the courtyard and looked up at the sky, the moon and stars are scarce, I'm afraid tomorrow will not be a good weather.

At this time, a black shadow jumped down from the roof, Gongsun Jian was not much surprised, and said without raising his head: "In the city today, you made the shot, right?" Thank you first, haven't you eaten, haven't you eaten and I still have some pastries on this table. ”

Song Qingming said lightly: "It's a matter of duty." ”

Gongsun Jian turned around, "What are you doing this big night?" ”

Song Qingming's expression was a little serious, but he still looked cold.

"There are more than a dozen people wearing night clothes outside the palace gate, and they are all good hands, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you, so I will come here to ask you first, whether it is better to strike first."

Gongsun Jian nodded after hearing this, picked up a piece of pastry and asked, "You really don't want to eat it?" ”

Song Qingming was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and said: "More than ten people probably have the strength of six or seven grades, if I take the initiative to attack, I will catch them off guard, and one person can still clean them up." ”

"So what? You can only fight when you are full, no, do you eat or not, don't talk, I will only be polite to you when you have eaten. ”

Song Qingming turned his head and stood behind Gongsun Jian with his sword in his arms, without saying a word.

Gongsun Jian stuffed a soft and delicious dessert into his mouth, and said vaguely: "The things in the palace are delicious, I have never tasted this thing before, and I have to enjoy it these days." ”

"It's never too late to survive tonight."

Gongsun Jian shrugged his shoulders, "Won't there be tomorrow night after tomorrow after tonight?" I'm very puzzled, you were sent by the emperor, someone from the prince's mansion came to assassinate me, didn't you tell Your Majesty in advance? ”

"Father-in-law Lu explained when he came, and this time it is very dangerous."

"Tsk."

Gongsun Jian was even more sure of the thought in his heart, what happened today was too strange, involving many high-ranking officials, as well as the assassins outside the gate.

"How do you assume that the assassins are looking for me this time?"

Song Qingming said coldly: "If there is no master in this palace, who else can come." ”

Gongsun Jian smiled, "Yes, without the master, isn't it just for me, but it's strange, the two male hosts are not there, the assassin is here, the news is really well-informed, do you think this is to create an alibi for yourself, or is it a coincidence?" ”

Song Qingming said in a deep voice: "You mean, it may be someone from the palace?" ”

"I didn't say it, it could be the revenge of the kid I hit during the day."

"No, that person's limbs were broken three by you, although it was not a fatal injury, but now the entire Sun Mansion is very busy."

"How do you know?"

"I've been to Sun's Mansion once."

Gongsun Jian laughed and said, "You guard is also attentive. ”

Song Qingming didn't reply, just looked around vigilantly.

Gongsun Jian sat on the chaise longue and reminded: "At the beginning of the year, the palace is still brightly lit, and they are still wandering around the palace at this time, it seems that they are not stupid, the assassin will not appear at this hour, at least after the second hour, so you better save some energy and wait for a while." ”

"You're not in a hurry?"

"What's in a hurry, if you come, you'll be safe."

Gongsun Jian shook his head, whether he had fallen into this mud pit or not, just wait for the result to be determined, and as soon as the time passed, whether the assassin would come at him or not, the puzzle would be revealed.

Song Qingming said coldly: "If you die because of your stubbornness, I will escape." ”

"Why? Shouldn't the guards do their best? ”

A trace of sadness flashed on Song Qingming's face, "If you die, even if I kill all the assassins, I won't survive." ”

Gongsun Jian's face sank, "Are you afraid of death?" ”

"What is there to fear of death, but the unwillingness to be afraid of death."

Gongsun Jian looked back at him, "One of my elders said that the people of the rivers and lakes like to indulge in the rivers and lakes, free and unrestrained, and now you are taking refuge in the imperial power, just like a fish in the river being caught in the water tank, are you willing to do this?" ”

Song Qingming's expression was grim, and he sighed slightly, "That elder of yours seems to be also a person from the rivers and lakes, and he is right." ”

Gongsun Jian felt that Song Qingming's words were getting more and more, and he couldn't put something out of him, and continued to ask: "Then why do you still sell your life to the imperial power?" ”

"If I don't give my life, my family won't be able to survive."

"Someone in the DPRK threatens you?"

Gongsun Jian frowned, feeling that things would not be so simple, an eight-rank martial artist, who was not yet in the eyes of the emperor, would definitely not threaten with this.

Song Qingming shook his head slightly, denying it, but he didn't tell the truth, he said slowly: "Let's talk about it after tonight first, I hope you don't be reckless, hide when you should hide for a while, I can handle it." ”

Gongsun Jian didn't ask deeply, holding it and looking up at the bright crescent moon and said, "Do you say that the emperor is willing to let me die, or is he unwilling to let me die?" ”

Song Qingming looked at the young man's innocent and flawless face, his heart was moved, after a previous conversation, he felt that this young man had a calm attitude, and he spoke very methodically, this kind of smart child is extremely loved in the eyes of every adult, Song Qingming is a layman, he has not read any books, he can only play with the sword in his hand, he can't say how he feels now, he only feels that the situation he will face next is very grim for a child.

Song Qingming suddenly felt a trace of pity for him.

"Father-in-law Lu said to me, although there are many dangers, but there is no need to be afraid, they are all dangers that can be survived, if you can't survive, there will be powerful people in the capital to accompany the funeral, and it is worth death."

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he went back and forth with a straight face.

Gongsun Jian's fingers holding the pastry paused in the air, he smiled bitterly and put the dessert in his mouth, feeling that the sweetness from the tip of his tongue to the stomach, but he couldn't wash away the bitterness in his heart.

"On this trip to the capital, there are really some stories to happen."

At this time, the tips of Song Qingming's ears suddenly moved, and one turned over and swept down from the roof, "Someone is coming, and there are quite a few people." ”

Gongsun Jian Jiupin's strength was naturally also felt, and the footsteps in the distance were quite mixed, but they were very tight, and he looked up at the sky, and it happened to be almost over.

Song Qingming held the hilt of his sword and stared at the gate of the courtyard, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he reminded loudly: "You go back to the room first, don't drag me back here." ”

Gongsun Jian turned around and walked into the house, and walked out again in a few blinks of an eye, with a bright and dangling double-edged folding knife in his hand, "The assassin who is coming at me, how can he let others stand in front of me." ”

Song Qingming wanted to say something more, but at this time, the footsteps were approaching, and he pulled out his long sword with a "bang"!

The hour has come at the right time!

Song Qingming's Adam's apple turned up and down, obviously extremely nervous, he thought that the people who could still visit at this time would definitely not be the people in the palace, but only the group of assassins, and they could enter through the main gate in a grand manner, presumably the palace courtyard had suffered a misfortune, and there must be a master hidden among those assassins that he could not detect! Could it be that the powerful person that Gonggong Lu said is the master of this palace?
