Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Vanishing Man
"Uncle, uncle~ Are you okay?" In the distance, a young man hurriedly ran over and shouted loudly.
Li Teh looked at it and said casually, "Lord Geng, this is your nephew?" He looks really talented, but it's ...... than you."
"Ahem, you see the moon is so round today!" Li Te suddenly remembered the death of Geng Wuji's son, and he couldn't get out of it, coughed twice in embarrassment, and quickly raised his head to open the topic and wanted to get it over.
Geng Wuji heard this, although his eyes were a little lonely, but he did not have the slightest resentment, and said with a slow smile: "Your Highness, it's okay, I know everything about my son, I only blame the humble duty for not properly disciplining my unfilial son, I know every day that he is in trouble, and he is destined to have this catastrophe." ”
"Oh, by the way, Your Highness, don't talk about him, that's my distant eldest brother's youngest son Jingzhong, my eldest brother knew that my son had unfortunately passed away, so he passed this stinky boy to me and gave the old minister to support him and send him to the end."
Li Teh nodded with a look of understanding, and then paused for a moment, Jing Zhong ...... Geng Jingzhong...... It can't be that guy.
As the youth gradually arrived, Geng Wuzhi looked at the several teams of city guards brought by the young man and asked suspiciously, "Jingzhong, why are you here?" Didn't you keep the palace gate? Why did you bring all the guards here? ”。
"Uncle, didn't you send someone to say that you and the prince were attacked, and asked me to send everyone over to support quickly?" Geng Jingzhong asked with a puzzled expression.
Now it was Geng Wuji's turn to be dumbfounded: "When did the old man let people call you!" ”
Li Teh frowned, as if he had thought of something, looked at Geng Jingzhong and said, "Who is going to find you to report the news, guard?" Where is he now? ”
Geng Jingzhong glanced at Li Teh and said unhappily: "Who are you, I am talking to my uncle, what are you talking about!" ”
"Bold!" When Dian Wei heard this, he stared at Geng Jingzhong with round eyes.
Geng Jingzhong was not afraid at all, looked at the burly Dian Wei, stood up and glared back.
After Geng Wuzhi on the side heard this, he was so frightened that he quickly kicked Geng Jingzhong's calf, and whispered: "You little rabbit cub!" You must have been sent by Heaven to punish me, what kind of sin did I create in my last life! ”
Geng Jingzhong rubbed his calves and said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with me?" ”
Geng Wuji glared at him and said: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince, you don't know anyone, and you can't recognize His Royal Highness the Prince's four-clawed python robe, it's not big or small here!" ”
Geng Jingzhong glanced at the python robe that was a little tattered and full of stains, and muttered softly, "The ghost can see it." ”
"You!" Geng Wuzhi pointed at Geng Jingzhong with his finger, and he didn't know what to say.
Then he hurriedly bowed his head and asked Li Teh for his guilt: "Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness, my nephew has never seen much of the world and does not understand the rules, please forgive Your Highness." ”
Li Teh looked down at the embarrassed clothes on his body, smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." ”
Then he looked at Geng Jingzhong in front of him and said with a smile: "You didn't know the identity of this palace before, and this palace forgave you, what, now that you know the identity of this palace, do you still not plan to salute?" ”
Xiao Yuanzi on the side looked at Li Te's behavior in confusion, thinking to himself that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hadn't always paid attention to these red tapes, why did he ...... today
Seeing Geng Jingzhong hesitating over there, Li Teh was not in a hurry, he watched quietly, but he was anxious about Geng Wuzhi on the side, and kept giving Geng Jingzhong a look.
In the end, Geng Jingzhong still knelt down unconvinced, and asked An Dao: "Humble Geng Jingzhong has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Li Teh shook his head and sighed: "This palace still admired you before, hey, but people who are impetuous and impetuous will not be able to achieve great things after all, get up, I hope you will do it yourself in the future." ”
Geng Jingzhong was about to argue, but Li Teh didn't want to bother to say more, and interrupted: "Okay, let's answer my question first." ”
Geng Wuji, who had been smiling at Li Te, kept pulling Geng Jingzhong's sleeves and whispered anxiously: "You stinky boy, what are you doing, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, the future emperor!" ”
"Didn't we say it was good when we went out before, and promised the old man to abide by the rules honestly! The old man brought you to the palace to see the rise! If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have brought you here, and I would have saved a lot of worry! ”
Geng Jingzhong reluctantly picked up Geng Wuji, who was pulling him with his hand, and said: "Okay, okay, uncle, my nephew knows, my nephew knows that he is wrong, it's not okay." ”
Then he took a deep breath and said in a respectful tone: "Your Highness forgives your sins." ”
Li Teh nodded and said, "Well, let's say it." ”
Geng Wuzhi glanced at Xiao Yuanzi behind Li Te, and recalled: "At that time, the humble official was guarding the palace gate and cleaning up the ...... corpse, I saw a little eunuch, stumbling over. ”
Li Tee looked like he was really like this and said, "Go on." ”
Geng Jingzhong glanced at Li Teh and said: "He came over and told me, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you and my uncle have been attacked, and we are in danger, so I quickly called everyone to support." ”
"As soon as I saw that it was my father-in-law in the palace, and I did hear the shouts of killing here, I ......"
After listening to Geng Jingzhong's words, Li Te pondered for a while, then turned his head to Dian Wei next to him and whispered twice.
Soon, Dian Wei ran over and said, "Your Highness, you guessed right, most of those black-clothed assassins are fathers-in-law in the palace. ”
Li Teh smiled: "This makes sense, I just said that where can these thieves get together so many people unconsciously, it turns out that they are the father-in-law in the palace!" ”
Then he shook his head and said, "These thieves, in order to rebel, are really bloody." I must have been planning for many years! Master Geng, do you say that hatred can really make people desperate? ”
Geng Wuji, the old fritter, seemed to quickly understand the reason, and replied: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, the remnants of the previous dynasty can no longer become a climate, and now the country and the people are safe, who is not grateful to the saint." ”
Then he looked at Geng Jingzhong, sighed and said, "Jingzhong, I think you have fallen for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that you are too impetuous, but he is not wrong at all. ”
"I'm ......," Geng Jingzhong choked.
Li Teh looked at Geng Jingzhong with a smile and said, "Presumably, the person who looks like a father-in-law can't be found now." ”
Dian Wei on the side glanced at everyone, looking like he still had something to say.
Li Teh smiled: "If you have anything to say, it's all your own people, say it, what's wrong?" ”
Dian Wei arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, just now the guards searched around, and Yang Zhao, the leader of the remnants of the previous dynasty, was missing. ”
Li Te rolled his eyes and said, "That's it, do you need to tell me!" ”
"And ~"
Li Tedao: "Believe it or not, I'll beat you, if there's a fart, let it go!" ”
Dian Wei bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, Yang Tianluo is gone......"
"What, forget it, Prime Minister Yang Cheng is also a decent person, don't worry about him."
"Report~ Lord Geng, Yang Tianluo's wife is also gone," shouted a few guards in the distance, pressing a few family-looking people.
Geng Wuzhi glanced at Li Te, who was speechless, and suddenly felt deeply embarrassed, and scolded angrily at the city guards under him: "What are you all doing to eat? ”
"The thief and the thief ran away, and you can't look at the injured people, but now it's good, you can't even look at a woman or child!" The scolded city guards bowed their heads in shame.
Li Te frowned and thought about where he could go, and then, after looking around, he finally stopped at the Daming Palace not far away.
