Lai Xing'er stepped into the study of the Jin Mansion with the two errand officials of the Jin State Mansion, and was greeted by the strong aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of food, which made him feel dizzy for a while, his legs were weak one by one, and his body couldn't help but shake twice. All day, he didn't get a drop of water, and he really couldn't resist the tempting fragrance.

"Kid, what are you doing stupidly? Come and have two drinks with my uncle! As soon as Li Jinzhong opened his mouth, he seemed to be very kind and natural to Lai Xing'er, he pointed to Lu Guangting, who was sitting opposite him, and introduced Lai Xing'er, "Uncle Lusi, do you still recognize it?" ”

Although Lu Guangting was no longer the inner temple uncle of the Seven Grades at this time, Li Jinzhong deliberately continued the title of a few years ago in front of Lai Xing'er, as if he was intentionally reminding Lai Xing'er not to forget the past when he was imprisoned in the prosecutor's hall in charge of Lu Guangting.

Lai Xing'er tried hard to suppress the bursts of strong appetite that surged from time to time, hugged his fists and saw Lu Guangting, and then turned to Li Jinzhong and asked, "The two adults are here, and they don't dare to be presumptuous." May I ask if you are here to do something? ”

"The old man sent someone to invite you tonight, and there is indeed a big matter for you to do immediately." Li Jinzhong pretended to make a straight face, so he said in a tricky manner, "That is, I ordered you to eat the chicken on the case immediately." ”

Although Lai Xing'er couldn't guess what Li Jinzhong was so anxious to see him, he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food anymore, and thought in his heart: It doesn't matter if it's a blessing or a curse, fill your stomach first.

So, he replied to Li Jinzhong, strode forward, picked up the steaming steamed chicken on the case, tore off a chicken leg with the belt meat, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

Lu Guangting sat next to the desk, sipping on the wine, while observing Lai Xing'er's every move since he walked into the study, wanting to find some clues as a fine work. But to his disappointment, the young sergeant in front of him was clearly like a vicious wolf who had not eaten the day before, and in the blink of an eye, he swallowed the whole chicken like a whirlwind, still looking unsatisfied, and grabbed the tea bowl on the case and raised his head to drink a cow, without any pretentiousness.

"Guangting, you may still know something, a month ago outside the Xingqing Gate in Nannei, if it weren't for the fact that Lai Xing'er happened to pass by there and blocked the assassin's hidden weapon at the old man, the old man might have died at the hands of the assassin." Li Jinzhong smiled and watched Lai Xing'er standing in front of him gobbling it up, and took the initiative to mention to Lu Guangting that Lai Xing'er had saved him outside the South Inner Gate.

Lu Guangting had already spied out Li Jinzhong's intention to entrap Lai Xing'er from Li Jinzhong's attitude towards Lai Xing'er on the surface, so he echoed and said: "Sure enough, the hero is from a young man, Lai Xing'er and Enxiang already have the same friendship, and this time they saved Enxiang's life, you two are really destined people." ”

"His Royal Highness King Mu summoned you to the palace, why did you do it?" Li Jinzhong was very satisfied with Lu Guangting's cooperation, and pushed a wine bottle full of wine to Lai Xing'er again, pretending to ask very casually.

Lai Xing'er raised the wine bottle, drank it all, swallowed the chicken in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and replied: "If you return to your lordship, it was the Tibetan envoy Yangzong who mentioned it in front of the prince, and asked the prince to see him next. ”

"Just for this? Uncle Shi ordered someone to wait in front of the palace just after noon, why didn't he wait for you until now? Li Jinzhong leaned back, took out the elder's shelf, and asked unsatisfied.

Lai Xing'er hesitated for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "Don't hide it from your lordship, it was originally for His Royal Highness to ask about pretending to be His Highness's envoy to Tibet, because he was offended by His Royal Highness King Mu between his words, which made His Royal Highness angry at the moment, and ordered him to be in the guest room from Xiaguan to King Mu's mansion, and he was not released until the evening of the day. ”

"Oh? You kid is not small, even King Mu dares to confront him in person! Although Li Jinzhong was amazed, he always had a smile on his face.

"Well, there is also a matter below, I want to ask my lord: I don't know if Lord Tang Kuan, the assassin of Bazhou, has come to the mansion to visit your lord today?" As soon as Lai Xing'er remembered that he still carried Tang Kuan's dozens of copper coins of suspicious origin in his arms, he felt faintly uneasy in his heart, and was eager to find out Tang Kuan's whereabouts, so as to return the money to him as soon as possible.

"Well, I heard a report from the door, but in the afternoon, a thorn surnamed Tang came to the door to ask the old man, but the old man didn't have time to see him, so he ordered someone to send him away, what, you are in a hurry to find him, what are you for?"

"It's not a big deal, I only promised him in the morning that he gave him the copper money in the second half of the time, and I want to buy some food in the next place, and now I still have some money left to pay him back, and I don't know where to look for him, I remember that he came to the door of the house early this morning to ask the lord, so I want to ask the lord, where is the location of this official building, and I can go and pay him back for a while."

Li Jinzhong heard that he was in a hurry to leave when he heard what he said, so he stopped detouring and said directly: "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it? Since you have been transferred here to be on duty, and Uncle Shi intends to promote you, from tonight, you will stay in Uncle Shi's mansion, and you don't have to go back to the barracks. After a while, Uncle Shi will send someone to the building of the Ministry of Officials on your behalf and return the dozens of dollars to Tang. ”

Since Lai Xing'er learned of his mother's death, he understood that Li Jinzhong had deceived himself many times, and when he was in Nannei, Li Jinzhong saw that he was about to be ordered by the emperor to be martyred for the former emperor and did not save him, and the grudge between the two has been born, even though he remembered that he had not been without preservation for himself in the past two years, and although his mother's death was chosen by him to be the eyeliner of Queen Zhang, he was not directly harmed by him, so he did not have a deep hatred for Li Jinzhong, but he never thought of relying on him to support himself.

Therefore, hearing that Li Jinzhong took the initiative to show favor to him, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart: Didn't he come to deceive himself again, what ulterior purpose did he want to achieve?

"Thank you for your kindness. It's just that if you are in the army now, if you don't return at night, General Wu will know about it, and you will lose your head. Lai Xing'er bowed deeply to Li Jinzhong, but refused in his mouth.

Lu Guangting wasted no time in interjecting: "You have to worry too much about this. Since Lord Li proposed to leave you in the mansion on an errand, he will naturally inform General Wu. ”

After Li Jinzhong publicly clarified his intentions, he was not busy explaining why he wanted to keep Lai Xing'er in his mansion, but asked Lai Xing'er curiously: "Even if Uncle Shi was clumsy at the beginning, he didn't realize that you were an imposter eunuch." Su Fuzhong, does my old brother know about this? How did the little girl know about the Jinping next to Concubine Hui in the palace? (To be continued.) )
