Seeing that his words attracted Wu Zhujing's attention, Wu Xiaobai immediately rejoiced.

You must know that such moments have become more and more rare in recent years, especially when Liu Lu is there.

He cleared his throat and was about to continue, but Liu Lu, who was standing beside him, moved his fingers slightly, revealing a strange smile that could not be noticed.

"Your Majesty, I can't hide it, I also know a little bit about the manipulation method of the corpse puppet. The corpse puppet is invulnerable, different from ordinary people, it is a rare elite army, just wait a few more days, wait for a few more days, and when I determine the traces of Chu Yunshen and the others, and then manipulate the corpse puppets to break through the ground, everything will be done. ”

Wu Xiaobai's expression became rampant as he spoke, he smiled fiercely, but his hand tenderly stroked the bone fan on his waist:

"At that time, whether Your Majesty wants to conquer the Chu State or wave his army north, everything will be fine."

These words sounded so serious that even Liu Lu raised his head at some point and looked at his expression seriously.

Wu Xiaobai naturally felt Liu Lu's gaze, but Ying Jingjing's relationship with him has always been cautious, and even Liu Lu was only suspicious and couldn't produce any evidence.

So even if Liu Lu has a lot of questions in his heart, Wu Xiaobai doesn't need to be nervous at all.

He showed a kind smile towards Liu Lu generously, and looked at Wu Zhujing with anticipation, just waiting for Wu Zhujing to give an answer.

Glancing at Wu Xiaobai strangely, Wu Zhujing turned his face to look at Liu Lu with a half-inquiring attitude, and said uncertainly after a while:

"Hasn't the matter of corpse puppets always been the responsibility of Xiangguo? I really didn't expect that the prince still has a lot of research in this area, hahaha......"

I laughed a few times, but no one responded. Wu Zhujing probably also felt embarrassed, and soon lost his voice.

As for Wu Xiaobai, he looked at Liu Lu provocatively as soon as he finished speaking, trying to see some reaction from Liu Lu's face.

Liu Lu's eyes did have a trace of surprise, but that surprise was quickly replaced by Ran.

He glanced at Wu Xiaobai unhurriedly, and the look was indescribably strange and complicated, which made Wu Xiaobai puzzled for a long time.

"Your Majesty, since the prince is still sure of this matter, it is better to leave it to the prince with full responsibility."

After slowly speaking, Liu Lu smiled at Wu Xiaobai again. In and out of his words, including his expression at this time, he seemed to be thinking about Wu Xiaobai.

But Wu Xiaobai knew Liu Lu very well, and he had heard a lot of rumors about Liu Lu from Yingjingjing, how could he easily believe this false appearance at this time.

He refused to respond to Liu Lu, although he was surprised that Liu Lu suddenly retreated at this time, he was also very satisfied with the situation at this time.

Now, it's just a matter of waiting for Wu Zhujing's meaning.

As expected, with Liu Lu's opening, Wu Zhujing almost did not hesitate, only paused for a moment and then nodded in agreement with the proposal:

"In this case, the matter of the corpse puppet will be handed over to the prince, I hope the prince can live up to my hard work!"

With such a serious tone, Wu Xiaobai almost believed it.

couldn't pretend to be grateful, Wu Xiaobai also knew that the people in the hall didn't care about his reaction at all, so he just knelt down and saluted according to the norm, and replied in the most ordinary tone:

"This time, I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's expectations and bring back the corpse puppet army on a certain day."

Wu Zhujing waved his hand casually, and praised Wu Xiaobai a few more words, and after a while, the boredom in his eyes rose, and the color of impatience became more and more obvious.

Wu Xiaobai's goal has been achieved, and he immediately understands it after observing his words and looks, and he wants to bow to Wu Zhujing and retire.

Wu Zhujing didn't even bother to do superficial work, he just waved his hand at Wu Xiaobai, and even his eyes were stingy and unwilling to give one more.

Wu Xiaobai even felt funny in his heart, but he still kept a strained face, and quickly retreated without sadness or joy.

As for Liu Lu, he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and even bowed his head slightly to him when he retreated, so people who didn't know thought how close the relationship between the two was.

Wu Xiaobai didn't have such a good face, he turned his head coldly, and bumped the bone fan on his waist as if unintentionally, and shook it in front of Liu Lu like a show.

Liu Lu's eyes really fell on the bone fan, but when his attention was attracted by the bone fan, his face suddenly became a little strange.

Wu Xiaobai naturally noticed this, but his face did not show the slightest, but took off the bone fan with a smile and said to Liu Lu:

"This bone fan is my new one recently, what do you think of Xiangguo?"

Liu Lu's lips closed one by one, but his voice was so flat that he couldn't hear a little fluctuation:

"Shizi's fan looks well-made, which capable person must have made it?"

The obviously perfunctory praise was so biased that Wu Xiaobai didn't seem to hear anything abnormal, but instead took the bone fan and opened the fan in front of Liu Lu and played with it.

"The fan is not from the hand of some capable person, but it is just the handiwork of the fan village. But this material really won my heart, and it is a rare bone fan. ”

As if he was afraid that Liu Lu would not be able to see clearly, he deliberately handed the fan spread out in his hand forward, and almost took Liu Lu's hand and stuffed it into Liu Lu's arms.

Bone fan?

Wu Xiaobai deliberately accentuated the tone of these two words, as if he was afraid that others would not hear the specialness.

The fan had been sent to Liu Lu, but Liu Lu refused to move for a long time.

His hand was hidden in the wide sleeve of his coat, and at some point it had clenched into a fist.

Wu Xiaobai refused to give up like a prank, Liu Lu didn't pick up the bone fan, he kept that action, and the smile on his face did not dissipate.

In the end, Liu Lu didn't take the fan, but just held back a sentence dryly:

"Really? That's pretty rare. ”

Originally, these two people rarely communicated, and it stands to reason that Liu Lu's attitude of not wanting to talk more is so obvious, according to Wu Xiaobai's past character, he will definitely go straight away, but this time he just pretended to be a pity:

"Actually, it's a pity, there are some flaws in this bone. If it weren't for this scar, it would be even more perfect. ”

Wu Xiaobai spoke, and glanced at Liu Lu intentionally.

As if he was afraid that Liu Lu would not be able to find the scars on the fan, his pale fingers kindly tapped the next fan bone.

It's like a sigh, it's like a silent hint.

Looking at Liu Lu with a smile, Wu Xiaobai quickly retracted the bone fan when Liu Lu carefully observed it again, and blocked the fan at the lower end of his nose with a flip:

"By the way, I heard that Xiangguo's 'knife', it seems that the corpse hasn't been found yet, right, do you need to send someone to look for it? If you want to talk about finding people and bones, the craftsman who makes bone fans is better at making fans than fans. ”

After Wu Xiaobai finished speaking, he looked at Liu Lu fixedly.

Liu Lu's eyes were full of anger, but the anger was fleeting and blurred.

This is one of the few times that Liu Lu has shown such a gaffe expression, at least in Wu Xiaobai's impression.

It seems that the last time Ying Jingjing went back from him, he deliberately made the scar that went deep into the bone.

According to other ministers in the court, Liu Lu had just left the court at that time, and he was still discussing poetry with a certain minister, and when the guards prayed in his ear, his face immediately changed.

At that time, he didn't even finish speaking, let alone say hello to that Wenchen, and immediately rushed back with someone, but no one knew about the follow-up.

Wu Xiaobai also asked Ying Jingjing once in a letter, but he was only brought over by a few simple strokes.

I don't know why, seeing the expression on Liu Lu's face at this time, Wu Xiaobai actually had a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Liu Lu didn't speak for a long time, and Wu Xiaobai's face didn't show the slightest emotion, but smiled and put down the bone fan that blocked his face and continued to Liu Lu:

"Xiangguo rest assured, as long as Xiangguo opens his mouth to borrow someone, I will cooperate at any time. Xiangguo may feel that it is useless now, but it doesn't matter, what if you need it in the future? ”

After being silent for so long, Liu Lu's expression finally returned to normal, but his smile was a little stiff.

His gaze did not fall on the fan anymore, and even deliberately avoided it.

"I have understood the kindness of the prince first, but I don't have to worry about the search for bones. As for the future, let's discuss it later. ”

When Wu Xiaobai heard this, he pursed his lips undeniably. He didn't insist, just hung his head and continued to play with his bone fan as if unintentionally.

His mouth still murmured as if talking to himself:

"That's a pity, if he is allowed to find it, he will definitely be able to help Xiangguo find the body."

……

There was silence again, Liu Lu seemed to have made up his mind to ignore Wu Xiaobai's words this time, he even maintained his usual smile, and only looked at Wu Xiaobai lightly, with a clear look in his eyes, and seemed to reveal some pity.

Anyway, Wu Xiaobai really didn't understand it.

At this moment, he suddenly felt bored, quickly put away his smile, and suddenly took the bone fan back and pinned it to his waist again.

His expression froze, and his whole person returned to his usual perverse appearance.

On the other hand, Liu Lu's body was also relaxed all of a sudden, but if he could look closely, he would definitely find that the pain in his eyes had not gone away for a long time.

Wu Zhujing didn't notice the turmoil between the two, but he also interjected after Wu Xiaobai withdrew the bone fan:

"This fan of the prince is indeed different from other folding fans, and I will also send someone to make a few, and when the prince returns triumphantly with the army of corpse puppets, he will send the prince and Xiangguo to the house as a plaything for recreation."

"No need."

A rare unanimous voice.

Wu Xiaobai quickly glanced at Liu Lu, and then took the lead in staggering his eyes.

Compared with Liu Lu, his face was on par with Liu Lu, and he was very ugly.

Even Liu Lu was more obvious than him, and his tightly pursed lips seemed to be extremely suppressing something.

It's just that before Wu Xiaobai could see it clearly, the different color on Liu Lu's face disappeared without a trace, and Wu Xiaobai also turned his face away in disgust.

Wu Xiaobai retreated, this time without the slightest nostalgia, nor for a moment of hesitation.

Only Wu Zhujing and Liu Lu were left in the imperial study, and no one knew what these two people had talked about later, and everyone had nowhere to know, and Wu Xiaobai, who was most concerned, didn't bother to know.

When Wu Ying saw Wu Xiaobai, Wu Xiaobai's mood was rarely flat, and he didn't have the slightest impatience as Yuan Fu said.

However, he still didn't dare to take it lightly, especially when he watched Wu Xiaobai play with the bone fan thoughtfully all the way, his vigilance was even stronger.
