Mo Changgang finished saying the word "good", and was about to take a few good words to thank Yuwen Changkong, after all, people are busy coming and going, always for their own freedom. But Changkong didn't have time to listen, a gust of wind blew out of the hall, and hit Ling Xiao, in the lazy afternoon sun, only heard the girl "ouch".

"This guy." Mo Chang said. Then, he walked to the door and looked at Ling Xiao, "Where is Cuizhu?" ”

"I guess he's resting in the room, does Your Highness want to call him?" Ling Xiao replied.

"No need. You come in again before you go out in the evening, and now I am quiet and reading a book for a while. I'll pour the tea myself, you don't have to come in. ”

"Got it."

After listening to Ling Xiao's answer, Mo Changcai closed the door, walked quickly to the table to pick up the food again, returned to the study, opened the mechanism, and entered the secret passage. Fortunately, he was quite familiar with this place, and with the glimmer of light from the torch that had been left for the white robe, he arrived at the small round hall peacefully.

White, but not there.

Walk out of the small round hall towards the opening at the other end, four or five miles away, is the back garden, there are two exits in the middle, in order to avoid real turmoil. Mo Chang didn't know if Bai Yi used the exit in the middle of the passage to go outside the princess's mansion, or - went to the palace?

At this time, the white clothes were in the last section of the dark, long tunnel. After walking more than 100 steps, there was already a little light, and there was no road ahead, and there were steps up. Bai Yi went up, and when he reached the end, he waited silently for a long time, only hearing some hazy bird voices, and no human voices.

Bai Yi pushed open the door at the end of the secret palace.

The strong sunlight shone through the gaps in the dense leaves, and the fragrance of flowers surrounded her.

The white robe stepped out from under a rattan shelf.

She bent over, crouched against the ground, and looked around. It turns out that this rattan frame has been taken care of, crawling with a large area of neat and beautiful green branches and leaves, purple and thick flowers, butterflies dancing, the rattan frame is not only a thin side, but cleverly formed a square area that covers each other, stocky old wood, old stone piles, you can sit down and rest, you can also step on the pruning flowers and leaves. Over time, these old woods and stones seem to merge with the vines and the ground.

But that's not the case.

Bai Yi just pushed one of them out.

Due to the design of the craftsmen of the time, when someone left the secret passage, there was no trace of change at the exit. At the same time, the vines and flowers also blocked the figure of the person who had just come out, giving him or her some cover.

Bai Yi gently brushed off the vine branches on his body and slowly walked out of the rattan frame.

The scenery suddenly opened up. She looked up at the sky, judged the direction with the sun, and walked in the direction of the pavilions and other buildings, once she left the back garden, she stepped on the royal street surrounded by blue bricks and red walls, and suddenly she was lost—here, and the palace of Datong, it was really the same. Deputy Chief He, the kind-hearted little apprentice, once hurriedly took the white clothes around the places where he could walk, the front hall, the harem, the main road, the branches, and the places where the eunuchs, palace daughters and leaders of different errands stayed.

"Thank you." Bai Yi said softly. I hope that little eunuch will hear it in the north.

She is a natural assassin and killer, and she is the king of female soldiers, relying on that "secret peep", she has already remembered everything she has seen and heard. Now, in the imperial palace of Pingdu, she stood in a corner where no one was paying attention, and almost half of the palace city map was drawn in her heart.

From the moment he left death row, Bai Yi had already made up his mind to carry out the task of protecting Mo Chang by the first emperor of Liguo. As long as Mo Chang is alive, a subtle mutual restraint can be formed, and everything is promising - the Hou family, the Yuwen family, and the new emperor also have a little more room for maneuver.

The daughters of the small palace of the Southern Palace all changed into the gray and blue thin shirts in the summer, and walked through the royal street in twos and threes holding objects.

The white cloth slowly retreated to the mouth of the secret passage, and when he looked around, no one noticed him, and lifted the wooden stake.

Mo Chang was waiting for her there, the torch stuck in the iron ring of the wall, holding the wooden tray in both hands, and the food was cold. When he saw Bai Yi, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You're going to kill me in a hurry!" ”

Bai Yi also smiled, "Where else can I go?" ”

Mo Chang pretended to be angry, "Of course you can't lose it, but I'm worried that you're hungry." Don't go back yet, just eat here. After eating and leaving, it is cold, what should I do? ”

After Mo Chang finished speaking, he actually blew on the food, and he felt confused, "Blowing when it's hot, what can I do if it's cold?" Alas, even a cup of hot tea would be fine. ”

"Don't worry, don't be afraid." After Bai Yi finished speaking, he wanted to take over the wooden pallet, but Mo Chang didn't let go and wanted to help her hold it. Bai Yi took Mo Chang's hand and ate the meal, eating with relish.

Mo Chang watched her eat like a little beast, and straightened his face slightly, "What are you doing in the palace?" It's too bold, so it's better to be careful. ”

Bai Yi defended himself, "Your Highness doesn't know, I came to the palace because I had completed the secret passage. I've walked the secret passage because—"

Bai Yi stopped eating, but still took the wooden tray, took it in one hand, and took out a letter from his sleeve with the other, and taught it to Mo Chang.

Mo Chang's hand trembled slightly, because the envelope didn't look special, but it was the most piercing to his heart—a kind of thick paper made of pale yellow Zhe wood, on which were written four characters: the imperial pen of the first emperor, Wu'er Changqi.

Although Bai Yi didn't open the letter, and he didn't know what agreement Mo Chang had with his father, but the moment he saw the letter, he still guessed, "After His Highness returned to the room, I cleaned up the place, saw this, and thought that no one knew about the secret passage." It must be the first emperor's. I wondered if there was anything else in the tunnel, and sure enough—"

Bai Yi is really Yuwen Changkong's younger sister, and when you can't expect it, you have to do something that makes you cry and laugh - I saw her take a wooden tray in her hand and take out another thing from the other sleeve - a handkerchief.

White silk, black letters. The beginning is also "My son Changqi".

Mo Chang took it, and Bai Yi was still talking, "This is what I found in the place where I still have about a mile to the secret passage." Except for the first few words, I really didn't look backwards. ”

Mo Chang was unable to respond because he was trying to control his emotions.

"Hmm."

"So I thought, what if the first emperor is outside the secret passage, or somewhere, and leaves something for His Royal Highness? So, it came to an end, so I went out and took a look. Besides, I'm protecting Your Highness, and to be honest, I know myself and my opponent, and I'm invincible, and if I can go to the palace to have a look, I can always know a little more about their movements, so-"

Mo Chang hugged the white clothes, separated by a wooden pallet, speechless and sad.

Bai Yi didn't move, waited for Mo Chang to let go of himself, and then continued to eat.

Mo Chang walked to the side, lit the fire, and began to read his father's letter.
