Luo Liyao patted Tang Haoqi's shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, she thought about it, and said softly: "I remember the errand that Chu Lingze was responsible for in the Shenchu court...... You're in charge of the treasury, right? ”

"Yes...... Right? Tang Haoqi has always been inattentive to these things, and now he is still thinking about how to devour Ning Zhong alive, and suddenly she asked, no matter how good his memory is, he is a little uncertain at this time, "It seems to be - what is it called'Zhisu Envoy'?" ”

Tianji glanced at him with disgust: "It's the 'Inner Envoy of Zhisu'...... Shenchu's inland has been dry for a long time, and the last time I heard that the winter crops in Cangxia City this year were not harvested, it was a pity that he had just gotten married, and he was running around for the people who couldn't pay the taxes at the end of the year——"

Tang Haoqi didn't understand the division of labor of these official positions: "He is in charge of the treasury, and he is still in charge of taxes?" ”

"Shen Chu and Tian Qi are different, since he is in charge of the treasury, then all the income and expenditure related to the treasury must go through his hands - in Shen Chu, this is one." Tianji was kind enough to explain a few words to him, "And it's not just taxes, but also all the officials' salaries, construction and banquet expenses in Shenchu...... Once something goes wrong, he is definitely the one to be held accountable. ”

"There are so many things, he will definitely not be able to manage them alone, and his subordinates will inevitably make mistakes......" Tang Haoqi followed his train of thought, but suddenly felt that he had found a blind spot, "Wait...... Be held accountable...... Your Highness, you wouldn't have had that in mind, would you? ”

Luo Liyao looked at Tang Haoqi, who suddenly turned his head to look at him, and smiled silently.

"Isn't it...... Prince Shenchu, actually, if you start running now, it may be too late-"

To Tang Haoqi's surprise, after Chu Lingze read the letter he sent in person, he only said one sentence: "It doesn't seem to be a big problem...... Go back and reply to Princess Zhenli, we have reached a consensus. ”

Tang Haoqi: !! ∑(?Д?ノ)ノ！！！

Tang Haoqi sincerely persuaded: "His Royal Highness Prince Chu, are you sure? Are you really not thinking about it anymore? You ......"

"Your tone...... As if they didn't want me to say yes. Chu Lingze was a little strange, and replied with a little amusement, "As Princess Zhenli's secret guard, you should be loyal to Princess Zhenli - this is what Princess Zhenli meant, but you still remind me like this?" Why do you want to do so much? ”

"Not necessarily." Tang Haoqi immediately denied it, shook his head and said, "I am naturally loyal to Princess Zhenli, mainly because I always feel that Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very kind, and I am a little unscrupulous for a while-Your Highness forgives your sins." ”

Chu Lingze smiled, knowing that his words were directly discarding the relationship, and invisibly reminding him of his loyalty to Luo Liyao, so he didn't say anything more

Silently watched him retreat.

Until his figure completely disappeared from his sight, after a long time, Chu Lingze didn't take his eyes off - until a slight sound came from behind him.

Chu Lingze still maintained the smile he had just faced Tang Haoqi, tilted his head slightly, looked at the figure hidden in the shadows not far away and asked, "What?" ”

"The matter you confessed before, someone was sent over there to investigate—have you seen the results of the investigation on the table in your study?" The man was wearing a somewhat large cloak, completely hiding his unreal face in the shadows, even to Chu Lingze, who was the prince of Shen Chu, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was familiar with the tone, "No matter how you look at it, those things happened in a hurry, and there must be a problem between them." ”

"If there's a problem...... I probably know what the problem is, so you don't have to meddle too much, lest you startle the snake and provoke the person to be dissatisfied with us. Chu Lingze's heart shook, his eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled as if he remembered something, "You and Ling Xiang...... What's going on? ”

“...... You're kidding, right? The man seemed to frown, and even his tone fluctuated rarely, and he quickly changed the topic in disguise, "Do they have any problems?" Looks like a detached man? ”

"Hey, you're really a wood—" Chu Lingze was helpless, "You don't care about yourself first, why do you still care about the problems between them?" They have nothing to do with you. ”

"Just curious."

"What other curious things would you have besides your own background?"

“......”

"Eh, eh, don't be angry...... Chu Lingze saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words, "But, I advise you not to delve into the relationship between them, anyway, you just need to remember - they will definitely not be discordant, absolutely impossible." ”

Bai Ming: ......

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Lingze simply stood up, walked towards the person in the shadows, and directly handed him the letter he had read: "Don't talk about this...... Judging from this letter, Princess Zhenli really decided to make that deal with you, and pulled me by the way...... Although there is no clue about the snake tide that day, everyone really agrees this time. ”

The man in the shadows froze, but he didn't reach out to take the letter, but pulled down the cloak that completely covered him, revealing his dazzling white hair.

Bai Ming looked at his face silently, and his gaze did not fall on the letter he handed to him at all.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot-" Chu Lingze coughed lightly, "Look at yourself, what are you doing, what's not going to work, the first place in the fight...... looks so good-looking, but

I don't even know a single big word, it's really outrageous......"

Bai Ming: "......"

Bai Ming still didn't speak, but his hand silently touched his waist, which was where his weapon was hung.

"Hahahaha, just kidding, we have something to say." Chu Lingze suddenly withdrew his hand, took a few steps back, and said with a smile, "Let's get down to business...... Knife! Take your knife back! ”

Bai Ming held his unsheathed knife: "Be brief. ”

"Originally, this was what we were going to do, but this time I really thought of going with Princess Zhenli......" Chu Lingze flicked the thin letter paper, although the font on it was still considered juanxiu, but it was a little messy, and at a glance, you could see that the strength of the person who wrote it was obviously insufficient, "But seriously, with your ability, are you really afraid of a Yongjia?" Even if you can't eradicate them, you can always protect yourself, right? ”

"Hmm."

"And the little killer who went to look for you before, what happened to him?" Chu Lingze seemed to think of his indifferent answer, shook his head and changed the topic, "It is said that it is a thorn in the head, and he has been murderous since he was a child...... You're not hurt, are you? ”

"I left early and didn't meet him."

"I've heard that he's just like you, he's never missed...... This time in vain, you may already remember you. Chu Lingze smiled and looked at him with a meaningful smile, "If you are targeted by him, even you may be in a little trouble." ”

"It's okay, I didn't meet him anyway, so it's good to avoid him."

"I mean—" Chu Lingze reminded him helplessly, "He is one of the last reliance of the Yongjia Dark Division, and since you have escaped from them, you should never suffer from them at that time." ”

He said it very bluntly, but also very naturally, as if it were just a piece of advice from a friend.

But Bai Ming's expression still didn't change, and he only said lightly: "Yongjia, it's far from being as simple as you imagined......

"But I look at Princess Zhenli's reaction, she shouldn't have noticed anything yet-" Chu Lingze tilted his head slightly, looking a little regretful, "Do you really think that she will be the variable at the center of the situation?" ”

"It's just a gut feeling." Bai Ming put the knife into the sheath and paused before saying, "I may follow her for a while...... She may have something to do with my background. ”

"Really?" Chu Lingze was a little surprised, but more helpless, "Anyway, I can't detain you, it's just Ling Xiang...... Well, I'll go and persuade her myself later. ”

"Why do you want to persuade her?"

Chu Lingze: "Do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?" ”

Bai Ming

：“...... What the? ”

"Okay." Chu Lingze shook his head and turned around, and no longer commented on this, but couldn't help but say more, "What do you think—how is Princess Zhenli?" ”

"She's smart, but ...... Too smart. Bai Ming was silent for a moment, and said truthfully, "What you said may not be entirely true-"

"What?"

"I always had a feeling - maybe, she wasn't unaware of ......"

"Then why does she act like she doesn't know anything?" Chu Lingze seemed to be a little puzzled, but he still had a warm smile on his face, and after raising the letter paper in his hand, he glanced at the handwriting on it, "It seems that the injuries on her hands are not fully healed......"

"I don't know, I just feel."

"Don't say it, don't say it, I'm really scared." Chu Lingze slowly put away the piece of letter, and said while waving his hand, "You are good people, you have one thing on your face and one thing in your heart, compared to you, I am simply a child who doesn't know the world......

Bai Ming: "......"

It seems that he has long been accustomed to his personality and style, which is extremely different from his appearance, Bai Ming still did not say a word as usual, and did not even slander in his heart, but once again silently put on his cloak, turned around and left.

There are some things that cannot be explained clearly in a few words - in this game with the world as a chessboard, they are just chess pieces played by fate at will, and they are gathered together by chance, and they happen to be on the same side.

But it's just a coincidence.

Bai Ming turned over from the window, jumped up, and with the concealment of the cloak, a few ups and downs disappeared directly into the night.

This time, as he passed by the still-lit palace, he still didn't look back.

His place has never been these Qionglou Yuyu, but those dark narrow alleys outside the palace, where he was born to belong.

"Hey—you're here!" As soon as Bai Ming stood firm, he hurriedly greeted a person in the corner, "How was the harvest today?" ”

Bai Ming silently lowered his cloak, held down the knife he hid at his waist, and did not respond to him, and walked straight into the depths of the narrow alley.

"Oops...... Don't be so stuffy all the time! The man was not surprised by his appearance, and he didn't mind that his enthusiasm was ignored by the other party, and even continued to follow him happily, "Look, you've been here for so long, and we're neighbors, shouldn't neighbors help each other?" I'm just a little tight on money today, you...... Not! ”

Bai Ming stretched out his hand, pulled open the wooden door that was already a little rotten, walked straight into the house, and closed the door by the way, which caught the man off guard, and almost made him hit his head on the door.

If he didn't want to be exposed, he really wanted to kill this person with a knife, because he was really very noisy - Bai Ming frowned, walked straight into the house, and didn't realize that the person outside the door suddenly changed his face and was scolding.
