Now that everything is over, Liu Heng has finally eliminated this big trouble, not only wiped out the Lu clan, but also successfully recovered the righteous rangers, which is really gratifying.

But this matter should not be publicized, after dealing with the follow-up matters with Yifang, Liu Heng stayed alone in Weiyang Palace. Although no one reported him, he always felt that someone would come looking for him tonight.

Liu Heng's conjecture was indeed correct, and he didn't wait long, Deng Tong carried two pots of wine and entered Weiyang Palace through the side door. He has never taken the usual path, and always feels that it is too difficult to report at all levels, and it is better to come and go by himself.

"I knew you were coming today." Liu Heng took the wine jug from his hand, "Come as soon as you come, I will prepare some of the best wine in the palace to entertain, why bother to bring it yourself, it is not too hard to hold it." ”

Deng Tong waved his hand mysteriously: "This is not ordinary wine, how can the decent wine in the palace be compared to this?" ”

"Oh? What's in this wine? ”

"It's nothing special, it's just that the people always love to drink this kind of wine when they celebrate happy events among the people. This wine has a long aroma and is sweet in the mouth, but it is not easily intoxicating. Deng Tong immediately opened a pot.

"I remember you used to like spirits, when did you change your taste?" Liu Heng tried to take a sip, and sure enough, it was as he said.

Deng Tong shook his head with a smile: "Drinking too much spirits and occasionally tasting something different is also a novel experience." ”

"That's right." Liu Heng sat down with him, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise the Lu clan would not be so easy to catch." ”

"yes, thanks to me." Deng Tong was not modest, and mentioned the good things he said before, "Since the matter is already over, then what was promised to me in the past can be fulfilled?" ”

"What's the matter?" Liu Heng didn't know if he really didn't think about it, or deliberately asked.

"I said I was going to leave Chang'an City and go on a trip." Deng Tong was not annoyed, but just reminded lightly.

"It's not the time yet." Liu Heng stood up and said with his back to Deng Tong.

"I knew you couldn't bear to let me go." Deng Tong grinned and teased. There has always been nothing serious about talking between him and Liu Heng, and after he just solved a big matter, he naturally blurted out what he wanted to say.

"Now that I know, I will stay in Chang'an for a few more years."

"That's not good, if you stay, you meet a nice girl and become a parent, and you have more wives and children at home, how can you go out to travel?"

"Isn't that just right, I'm worried about your family!" Liu Heng said worriedly.

Deng Tong lay down on the back of the chair: "What's there to worry about, this son is handsome and chic, I don't know how many girls want to marry me one after another!" ”

"You're really not ashamed!" Liu Heng turned around, propped his hands on the chair, and stared at Deng Tong in an extremely ambiguous posture.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, the minister Yuan Ang came to ask for a meeting." ”

Originally, the minister's request to see was reported by Wu Ping first, but today it was a little unusual, Liu Heng was startled, his center of gravity went forward, and suddenly the chair was overturned to the ground.

Yuan Ang outside heard this loud noise, and he couldn't take care of the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, for fear that something would happen to Liu Heng inside, so he hurriedly rushed in.

But as soon as he entered, he saw an unsightly sight. Because of the collapse of the chair, Deng Tong lay directly on the ground, and Liu Heng also fell with the chair, and pounced on Deng Tong.

Yuan Ang was dumbfounded, what he came to report this time was that the folk male style is prevalent now, and many official eunuchs are raising male pets from time to time. Recently, there was a big man who forced the original wife to death for the sake of the male pet, and he felt that this atmosphere was unacceptable, but he didn't expect to see this scene by mistake.

Liu Heng was also embarrassed, so he quickly got up from Deng Tong and pulled him very easily. In Yuan An's view, this is even more evidence of the extraordinary relationship between the two.

"Yuan Aiqing, is there anything important about coming to see me in a hurry at this time?"

Liu Heng took the initiative to ask, but Yuan Ang hesitated, if the emperor took the lead, then the civil affairs would be out of control. He now took the initiative to mention that not only might he not be taken seriously, but it would anger Liu Heng, which would be counterproductive.

"It doesn't matter, it's just some folk news, the emperor is tired, so the ministers won't bother for now."

Yuan Ang was obviously in a hurry when he came, but now that there is nothing to do, Liu Heng really feels inexplicable. But he just waved his hand and let Yuan Ang come and go.

"This Lord Yuan doesn't look at me right!" As soon as Yuan Ang left, Deng Tong said suspiciously.

"I found out too, I don't know why." Liu Heng turned to Deng Tong, "When he came in just now, he obviously looked like he had something to say, maybe he saw you here, so he swallowed the words again." ”

"Could it be that what he's going to say has something to do with me?" Deng Tong muttered to himself.

"That's what I think too, have you done something outside the palace recently?" Liu Heng looked at Deng Tong with a scrutinizing gaze.

"What can I do? I'm in order! Deng Tong was also confused, and it would be useless to stay here, so he left the palace with questions.

Deng Tong did not take this to heart, but the next night, as usual, he wandered through the streets, and when he came out of a dark alley, he was suddenly hit with a stick in the back of the head. The stick hit so hard that Deng Tong didn't have time to react at all, so he closed his eyes and fainted.

When he woke up, he found himself in a strange place. It seemed to be a secret room, with no tables and chairs around, no windows on the walls, and some darkness inside.

I don't know how long I waited, Deng Tong felt that he was very thirsty, and the door opened a little crack. Then, a familiar person walked in, and he turned out to be Yuan Ang, who he had just met in Weiyang Palace last night.

"Lord Yuan?" Deng Tong, who was tied up tightly, didn't expect that Yuan An, who had always had no grievances with him, would tie him up here.

"Someone, go and untie the rope for Lord Deng." Yuan Ang moved a chair and sat down in front of Deng Tong worriedly.

"What do you mean by Lord Yuan?"

"Lord Deng really doesn't know?"

Yuan An's words stunned Deng Tong, he just took a good walk on the street, and was inexplicably tied up here, and even the person who tied himself asked why he was tied up.

"I think about it carefully, I don't seem to have offended Lord Yuan recently." After Deng Tong finished speaking, he corrected, "No, it's me Deng Tong who has never offended you, Lord Yuan!" ”

"Lord Deng didn't offend me, but you endangered the emperor's reputation, so I had to take action?"

Deng Tong was puzzled: "I don't know what Lord Yuan means?" ”

"Master Deng, do you know that the folk male style is prevalent now, almost to the point of being out of control?"

"Of course I know that. Could it be that Lord Yuan thinks that it is inappropriate for me to run the Nanfeng Pavilion in Chang'an City? Deng Tong suddenly understood a little as he spoke, and then explained slightly, "Lord Yuan doesn't have to care so much, I, Deng Tong, am not an official in the court, and Liu ...... and the emperor are just some friendships. Lord Yuan gave me the hat of ruining the emperor's reputation, which is too serious. ”

"Lord Deng and the emperor, are they really just some friendships?" Yuan Ang had always only believed in his own eyes, and he didn't trust Deng Tong's words at all.

"What do you mean by Lord Yuan?"

"Lord Deng made great contributions when the emperor ascended the throne, and he was famous in Chang'an City. Why is there no figure of Lord Deng in the court, but he wanders in the Nanfeng Pavilion day and night? Yuan Ang's question was quite tactful.

But Deng Tong immediately tasted what he meant: "Lord Deng won't be suspicious, what is the unclear relationship between me and the emperor, right?" ”

Looking at Yuan An's expression, it seems that he has acquiesced. Deng Tong now finally understands why Yuan Ang looked like he wanted to speak again in Weiyang Palace last night.

"Lord Yuan has misunderstood, I am innocent with the emperor, and it is definitely not the kind of relationship that Lord Yuan thinks."

"But I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, and besides, rumors about the emperor and Lord Deng are not uncommon in the palace." Yuan Ang had already decided in his heart that Deng Tong was Liu Heng's male favorite.

This kind of thing, Deng Tong is not easy to explain, after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't say anything.

"Since Lord Yuan has already decided, what do you mean by tying me here? What are you going to do with me next? "Deng Tong is quite a bit of a broken jar.

"Lord Deng, if I report this matter to the emperor, he will definitely not attack you. Therefore, in order to preserve the emperor's reputation, only I will do it quietly. Even if the emperor blames me in the future, I have a clear conscience. ”

"Lord Yuan isn't trying to kill me, is he?" Deng Tong was finally a little frightened now, and he looked at Yuan An's face, which was a face with murderous intent.

"Someone, prepare to send Lord Deng on the road."

At the same time, the outside was also chaotic because of Deng Tong's disappearance, especially the Jiaofang Hall in Yifang.

"The emperor is saying that Deng Tong is gone?" Yifang actually didn't think so, Deng Tong was wanton and free, always the dragon saw the head but not the end, and it was common for him to not see him for three or two days.

But the look on Liu Heng's face was very worried: "Deng Tong made an appointment with me last night to have tea with me this afternoon, but until now, I haven't seen him, which has never happened before." ”

"Is the emperor worried that something happened to him?"

"The night before yesterday, Yuan Ang came to see me, and Deng Tong was also there at that time, and his eyes seemed to be a little strange when he looked at Deng Tong, which made me unable to let go." Liu Heng had doubts, but he couldn't be sure.

"Is the emperor worried about Yuan Ang and Deng Tong's disappearance?"

Liu Heng nodded in agreement.

"How is this possible?" Yi Fang thought that the two of them didn't seem to have much in common.

"Yifang, I still have government affairs that I can't get out of, but I'm very worried, you can go to Yuan An's mansion for me to have a look!"
