Lai Xing'er was inexplicably locked up in the guest room of the mansion by Li Qi, the king of Mu, until the time of Shen was about to pass, and it was getting late, and he was released by Zhu'er on the order of the king of Mu.

I don't know if it was King Mu Li Qi who was angry, or for some other reason, Zhu'er personally sent Lai Xing'er out of King Mu's mansion, stood outside the threshold, and said to him with a smile: "Our prince said that he owed you a big favor this time when he was ordered to send an envoy." Therefore, I specially asked me to tell you that if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to the house to find him. As long as it's not too out of line, my prince will settle it for you. ”

"Who is rare for your lord's kindness to give alms!"

Lai Xing'er went to the door of the Jin State Mansion with Lao Huang on an empty stomach early in the morning, and at this moment he was already hungry, and there was inevitably a resentment in his heart, and he wanted to reject the so-called kindness of King Mu, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed them back. He remembered that Na Yu still didn't know where Wu Bi was imprisoned, and maybe he would really ask King Mu for help in the future, so he didn't have to rush to cut off his retreat at this time.

However, when he set his eyes on the bolted horse stake outside the gate of King Mu's mansion, he couldn't help but shout: "What about my 'chasing the wind'? Lord Yangzong traveled thousands of miles to bring it back from Luoqi City and return it to me, you won't give it back."

Zhu'er knew that Lai Xing'er loved horses like his life, and if he didn't tell the truth, he would definitely not forgive, so he smiled apologetically and said: "Regarding that Dawan Hu horse, the prince also sent a message, saying that it was originally a good horse raised in the East Palace stable when the emperor was the prince in the East Palace, in case of emergency. Now, since the Tibetan envoys have returned it with the good intentions of the Tibetan envoys, they should receive it from our house. You are now only a small soldier, and such a good horse should be kept in our prince's palace instead of following you, and according to me, you need not worry about it. ”

Lai Xing'er heard Zhu'er say this, and thought that this was indeed the case, but he couldn't say any reason to refute it, so he had to say goodbye to Zhu'er with a fist, thinking that he would rush back to the barracks as soon as possible, and maybe he could go to the room to collect some leftovers to fill his stomach.

However, he didn't take a few steps, and suddenly remembered something, and turned around and asked Zhu'er: "The Lord Bazhou Thorn Shitang who came with us can leave the palace now?" ”

Zhu'er had already entered the door of the mansion with one foot, and when he heard Xing'er's question, he turned around and replied: "After Lord Tang saw the prince, he left in a hurry before noon. What, you're looking for him? ”

Lai Xing'er reached out and touched the dozens of copper coins left in his arms to buy food, and said to Zhu'er: "Oh, it's not a big deal. In the morning he gave me money and asked me to buy some food, no, there was still some left with me, and I was worried about returning it to him. ”

Zhu'er pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "You, you are also a little sincere." He's a big man who stabs history, and he still cares about this little money? However, if you must pay it back, I have heard that he is staying in the office of the Ministry not far from here, and you can go there to find him. Now there is a banquet in the house, and there are few people waiting in front of the prince, so I will not accompany him. With that, he bowed his hand to Lai Xing'er and turned around and went into the house.

Lai Xing'er didn't know where the official building was, and was about to inquire about Zhu'er in detail, but saw that he had returned to the palace in a flash, so he had no choice but to turn around and think about finding a pedestrian on the road to inquire.

"Boy, I can't see that you are really a character! I actually stayed in the palace of King Mu all day, and did not come out until dark, and asked our brothers to stay outside the door and wait for a day! ”

One of the two of them, a lean man in the costume of a forbidden military captain, couldn't help but say, stepped forward and grabbed Lai Xing'er's placket, and said with a glare.

Lai Xing'er was born with a temperament that was not afraid of strong beams, and seeing that the comer was not good, he clenched his fists forward with both hands and slammed the man's face, and at the same time, his body slammed backwards, and he broke free of the man's hand holding his front placket, looked up and down at the two uninvited guests who blocked his way, and asked in a deep voice: "Dare to ask who the two are?" I don't know the two of you, why do you want to block the way below? ”

Another short and fat man among the two saw that Lai Xing'er feinted to retreat as soon as he made a move, and got rid of the lean man, for fear that the two would have to move again, hurting the harmony, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and stopped between the two, and rushed to Xing'er with a smile and said, "Don't misunderstand when you come to Zhangshu." After my lord returned to the palace, he heard that the book was passed by the people of the palace, so he specially asked the two of us to stay outside the gate of the palace, and as soon as the book came out of the palace, he invited the book to meet us at the house. ”

"Your Excellency? I don't know which one it is? Lai Xing'er saw that this short and fat man was dressed in a light green official robe, with a smile on his face, and he didn't speak like the lean man's fierce mouth, so he also eased his tone.

"We are both officials in the Jin State Mansion, if we want to talk about it seriously, we are still colleagues." Humpty Dumpty walked closer as he spoke, looking very close to Lai Xing'er's clothes, "Come back with the two of us, the adults have been waiting in the house for a long time." ”

When Li Jinzhong saw Lai Xing'er in front of the mansion early this morning, it was like eating a fly, and he felt an indescribable disgusting and crooked feeling in his heart. When he arrived at the Yamen of Zhongshu Province on time, he summoned Wu Bi, Lu Guangting and others to discuss matters such as strengthening public security in the capital, and took advantage of the opportunity to drink tea on the way to inquire about Wu Bi about the reason for the change of guard of the forbidden army around his mansion, but Wu Bi smiled faintly, and only replied, "The saint is particularly concerned about the safety of the Duke of Jin, and specially instructed the envoy", so he talked about it left and right, and refused to say anything more.

Li Jinzhong was full of worries, hastily finished dealing with official affairs, and then called Shanglu Guangting to go back to the house together.

He didn't believe that what Wu Bi said was the truth at all. Since Lai Xing'er mentioned Jiucheng Palace in front of him, Li Jinzhong immediately made a decision, whether Lai Xing'er had learned the truth that his mother had committed suicide or not, he had become an outcast for himself. What's more, more than a month ago, when Emperor Nannei was about to dispose of Lai Xing'er, instead of sincerely saving him, he added fuel to the fire, and the old account that Xing'er had something to do with the Zhang family was turned over again, intending to put him to death.

Now he has successfully forced Liu Yi's master and apprentice out of Chang'an, and took Jingzhao's security power into his own hands, but at this time, Lai Xing'er, who had a felony of bullying the monarch on his head, was incredibly sent by Wu Bi to serve as a guard in front of his mansion, is this the emperor's special concern for his own safety?
