At the next birthday banquet, Zhang Ying's eyes never left Tuoba Lian.

Mu Yunge looked at Zhang Ying's appearance, and hesitated to say something, but still didn't say it. waited until the end of the birthday banquet, and several people planned to return to the palace.

"Lian'er!"

Tuoba Yu suddenly shouted to Tuoba Lian, stuffed a bag into Tuoba Lian's hand, and said with a smile: "This bag, remember to open it tomorrow." ”

Looking at Tuoba Yu's expression, Tuoba Lian raised his eyebrows, and he was about to open this bag directly.

"Don't, dismantle it tomorrow, listen to me." Tuoba Yu put his hand on Tuoba Lian's hand, stopping him from moving.

Tuoba Lian looked at him for a moment, then smiled: "Okay, listen to you this time." After speaking, he turned around and hugged Zhang Ying's slender waist and walked towards the palace with Zhang Ying.

After returning to the palace, Tuoba Lian held the bag in his palm, looked at it again and again, and said, "This bag, should I open it now?" ”

Although he agreed to Tuoba Yu, in view of Tuoba Yu's words and deeds at the birthday banquet, Tuoba Lian was still not ready to listen to him.

Thinking about it, his eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to pinch the end of the string and untie the rope tied to it. A small opening was opened in the plain white bag, revealing what was hidden inside.

Inside the bag was a boxy note and a small jade pendant.

When he saw these things, Tuoba Lian's eyelids couldn't help jumping, combined with Tuoba Yu's automatic abandonment of the matter of competing for the crown prince's position, he faintly sensed that something was wrong.

Don't......

He stretched out two fingers, took the note out of his bag, and slowly opened it to look at it.

Zhang Ying shook the water droplets on his left hand, pinched a cherry in his right hand and sent it to Tuoba Lian's mouth, approached Tuoba Lian, and looked at the note curiously: "What is written?" ”

Tuoba Lian rolled the cherry into his mouth with this Zhang Ying's hand, his eyes staring at the words on the note, and his face was particularly gloomy.

"He really wanted to leave secretly tonight."

Spit out the cherry pit in his mouth, Tuoba Lian threw the note on the table, stood up and beckoned to his guard, saying, "This time you can't go along with his wishes, he must stay." ”

If Tuoba Yu is allowed to leave successfully, then Tuoba Lian will no longer have to think about giving up the position of the crown prince, and Zhang Ying will not have to think about returning to the Central Plains.

Zhang Ying is not stupid, so he can naturally understand this meaning, and said: "Then stop him now, can you stop him?" ”

"Almost." Tuoba Lian thought for a while and said, "Since he asked me to open it again tomorrow morning, instead of going back to the palace and dismantling it again, if he went back to the palace and then opened it again, he would go directly to block people after seeing it, and the time left for him would not be enough." ”

However, if there is a long delay, it may not be possible.

Without further ado, Tuoba Lian immediately rushed to Tuoba Yu's residence with the people.

As he expected, when he arrived, Tuoba Yu had indeed just finished packing his things, and was carrying a box with Lin Wan, preparing to leave the palace.

Tuoba Lian looked at Tuoba Yu with his arms crossed, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, where are you going?" ”

Seeing Tuoba Lian's expression, Tuoba Yu knew that he had seen the note in the bag he gave him, and chuckled helplessly: "Lian'er, you don't listen to the imperial brother's words. ”

"If I'm obedient, will this mess be my own?"

Tuoba Lian blocked Tuoba Yu's way and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, at this time, I can't allow you to quit." You have to fight for the position of the crown prince. ”

He can't stay in the South!

Tuoba Yu rubbed his forehead, looked at Lin Wan standing beside him, and said, "Brother Huang must compete with you for the position of the prince, Lian'er." ”

Tuoba Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at the guards behind him.

The guards quickly understood what Tuoba Yu meant, and surrounded the door, insisting that Tuoba Yu would not leave a step.

"If the Imperial Brother needs anything, you can inform my guards, and they will be happy to serve the Imperial Brother." As he spoke, Tuoba Lian smiled and turned to walk away.

Tuoba Yu jumped to his feet and shouted, but he couldn't get Tuoba Lian to look back.

Watching Tuoba Lian walk away, Tuoba Yu stared at the few guards who were blocking him, raised his fist and wanted to smash it down. But looking at so many guards in front of him, he put down his fist after thinking about it.

He couldn't tell if these people dared to hurt themselves, and if they made a mistake, it wouldn't be worth it for them to hurt him.

Mu Yunge stood in the dark and watched all this, couldn't help laughing, and said to Lin Xuanqing: "It's normal to fight for the position of the prince, they are good, fight for the position of the prince." ”

Do you dislike being the king of the Southern Regions so much?

Lin Xuanyu also hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Then guess what, will Tuoba Yu escape?" ”

"I don't think so." Mu Yunge looked at these guards last time and said, "The guards here are not fuel-efficient lamps, and it seems that they can't deal with them with Tuoba Yu." ”

If I could deal with it, I wouldn't have raised my fist and put it down just now. Tuoba Yu has concerns, so even if there is a move, he does not dare to make a desperate bet.

As long as he doesn't take a gamble, there is no chance of winning.

Lin Xuanqing just smiled, turned around and took Mu Yunge back to the palace.

The night was like water, Tuoba Yu stood in the courtyard, looked at the few people standing in front of the door, rubbed his painful eyebrows, and said to Lin Wan: "It's not a way to go on like this, Wan'er, let's take the secret passage." ”

At that time, in order not to be trapped in the courtyard in case of an accident, he specially ordered someone to secretly build a secret passage.

Now it seems that it is time to use it.

Lin Wan looked up at Tuoba Yu, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and nodded: "It's all up to your husband." ”

"Good." Tuoba Lian rubbed her hair, took her hand and walked towards the study: "What else do you want to bring?" Think about it before you leave. ”

If you leave along the secret passage, you won't be able to come back.

Lin Wan shook her head, clenched Tuoba Yu's hand, and said, "I have a husband and my piano, it's enough." Everything else is outside the body, and it doesn't matter if you have it or not. ”

Listening to Lin Wan's words, Tuoba Yu smiled even deeper.

The secret passage was in the study, and Tuoba Yu removed the cabinet next to the bookshelf and kicked the mechanism hidden deep by the wall. The entrance to the secret passage appeared in front of them, and there was no light in the depths.

Tuoba Yu looked at the dark secret passage, and suddenly remembered that Lin Wan was afraid of the dark, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "At that time, I actually forgot to let people install fire candles in the secret passage. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a lamp from several cases, turned out a few more candles and lit them, and distributed them to the attendants who followed behind him.

"Let them light the secret passage in front so you won't be afraid." Looking at the secret passage that was brightening up a little bit, Tuoba Yu said.
