Shi Min came out of Hongguang Pavilion, Lu An was waiting outside, and when he saw Shi Min coming out, Lu An saluted and shouted: "Childe." ”

Shi Min nodded slightly, and was about to leave, Lu An said: "It's very dark, the villain sends the son." ”

"No need, you are so good to serve Your Majesty!" Shi Min replied casually.

At this time, Lu An had already taken a lantern from the hand of a little eunuch and said, "Childe doesn't have to be polite, please!" ”

Seeing that Lu An was so polite, Shi Min did not refuse, and the two walked along the bluestone road to the outside of the palace.

"Lu An, has anything happened in the palace recently?" Shi Min looked at Lu An, who was leading the way with a lantern on the side, and asked.

"Yes!" Lu An nodded and said, "This is why the villain insists on sending his son out of the palace." ”

"Oh?" Shi Min was a little surprised and asked, "Tell me, what do you know?" ”

"Lord Liu Yuanzhi's death, presumably His Majesty has already asked Gongzi, as far as the villain knows, Qingwangfu is afraid that he will make a fuss about this, and blame the responsibility for the matter on you and Hou Ye, Gongzi must be psychologically prepared."

"Thank you for reminding me, I've expected this."

"Have you ever heard of the matter of the Yan Palace?" Lu An asked.

"Yan Wangfu? His Majesty also asked like this, I just entered the palace, and I never knew what happened to the Yan Palace. Shi Min deliberately pretended not to know anything.

"A few days ago, Your Majesty was always riddled with nightmares, and the old shaman said that someone had done witchcraft and cursed Your Majesty. Not long after you left Yecheng, someone reported to Commander Wen that there were puppets in King Yan's Mansion who practiced witchcraft, and Commander Wen led people to search King Yan's Mansion after getting His Majesty's permission, and sure enough, he found evidence of King Yan's rebellion. Therefore, hundreds of people from the Yanwang Mansion were all taken down and escorted into Dali Temple. ”

"King Yan rebelled?" Shi Min looked a little surprised.

"Exactly...... Now King Qing has returned to Yecheng, so ...... The villain dared to persuade the son to beware of Liu Guifei and Qingwangfu. Lu An whispered.

"Lu An."

"The villain is here."

"I'm a little puzzled, why did you tell me all this news? You know, what you say can make you lose your head. ”

"The villain is the same as the son, they are all Han people, and he was greatly favored by the son that day, and the knife saved the villain's life, so the villain has always been grateful to the son. Childe rest assured, if there is any unfavorable news for Childe in the future, the villain will inform you as soon as possible! ”

"It was my unintentional act to save you that day, and I never asked you to repay you like this. In this palace, there are murderous intentions everywhere, and your words and deeds may affect your life and safety at any time, do you know? ”

"The villain knows, but Childe is the first to treat the villain as a human being, so he rushes to this kindness, and the villain is willing to serve Childe."

"I didn't expect Lu An that you are still such a loving person, it seems that I interceded for you in front of His Majesty that day, and I accumulated virtue." Shi Min smiled.

"Childe is a good person, and a good person must be rewarded!"

"Lend you good words!" Shi Min patted Lu An and asked, "Hundreds of people in the Yanwang Mansion have all been imprisoned in Dali Temple?" What about Lord Xin? ”

"The county lord of Xin is now in the Xihua Hou Mansion, probably because His Majesty considered the marriage contract between the county lord and you, so he opened the net. In addition, there is the lord of Liang County......"

"Lord Liang?"

"Lord Liang is in the palace, it was arranged by His Majesty, as for the reason, it is better not to ask too much about the prince......"

"Oh?" Shi Min thought about it, nodded, and said, "I understand!" ”

In a blink of an eye, the two arrived at the gate of the palace, and Lu An saluted and said, "Son, Lu An can only be sent here, you go slowly!" ”

Shi Min bowed his hand and replied, "Thank you, please go back!" ”

Lu An nodded and saluted again.

After receiving the reins of the horse handed by the forbidden army at the palace gate, Shi Min stepped on his mount and left.

It was late at night, Shi Min rode a horse alone on the street of Yecheng, the street was empty, except for the sound of "da-da-da" horses' hooves, there was no other movement.

Suddenly, Shi Min vaguely saw a black shadow flashing, and his right hand instinctively put it on the saber on his waist, looking around vigilantly.

At this time, a man in black jumped from the roof and landed ten steps away from Shi Min. Shi Min was about to draw his sword out of its sheath, but the man unexpectedly bowed down on one knee towards Shi Min, which made Shi Min feel a little strange.

"Who are you?" Shi Min scolded.

"Childe, forgive me, the villain has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of my master!"

"Who is your master? What do I do? Shi Min asked.

"I ......"

Before the man finished speaking, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps of "da-da-da", and the man in black hurriedly dodged and hid. Shi Min looked up, and more than a dozen people from the patrol battalion walked over neatly with torches.

"What people! Wandering the streets late at night! The man at the head shouted.

Shi Min rode over unhurriedly, and saw that the leader was actually King Ning Shi Jian, so he bowed and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning!" It's the little nephew Shi Min! ”

Shi Jian looked at it with wide eyes, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Xiao Min, who should I be?" Didn't you go to Hexi with Lord Liu? Why is it so late here? ”

"Your Majesty is urgent, just came out of the palace." Shi Min said, looked behind Shi Jian, and asked, "Your Highness is now also the commander of the patrol battalion, how can you do such a thing as patrolling the night?" ”

"Hehehehe, this king is not born in the army like your father, and he is still a little rusty about things like transferring troops and sending generals, isn't this the commander of the patrol battalion now, and the burden is not light! You can't live up to your father's trust, right? So you have to be careful! Shi Jian said with a smile.

"Your Highness, hard work! Your Majesty sees your efforts! The little nephew won't bother! Leave! ”

"Good, good! Hurry back! On the street at night, I was bumped into by the patrol battalion, which was a little troublesome! Shi Jian admonished.

Shi Min nodded, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me!" Leave! ”

After speaking, Shi Min shook the reins of the horse and shouted, "Drive!" ”

Zhu Longma took a step and walked forward slowly. Seeing Shi Min leaving, Shi Jian also turned around and instructed the people in the patrol camp: "Go!" Keep on patrol! ”

When the people from the patrol camp left, the black-clothed man hiding in the corner dared to come out, Shi Min heard the movement behind him, and immediately tightened the reins again and looked back at the man.

"Childe, I'm sorry for you to come with me, my master invites you to come over the house!"

"I don't know who your master is? Why did I go with you? Shi Min turned the horse's head and looked at the man.

"My master is Master Zhang."

"Lord Zhang? Which Lord Zhang? Shi Min asked.

"Lord Zhang Bao, Lord Zhang!"

"Lord Zhang Bao? Isn't he sick? Why do you want to see me? Besides, I don't know your master well, so why should I go to see him? ”

"The adult asked the villain to send a message to the childe, saying that you heard it and would definitely go with the villain."

When Shi Min heard this, he became interested and asked, "Oh? I would like to hear what your Master Zhang has to say. ”

"Dead lips and cold teeth."

"Cold lips and cold teeth?" Shi Min was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Just these four words?" ”

"Yes, just those four words." The man replied.

Shi Min thought for a while, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Where is your master now?" Take me to him! ”

The man turned sideways to lead the way and said, "Childe, please!" ”
