Song Chuanbai didn't go out to the palace gate, so he was called back by the big eunuch who caught up.

On the high platform of the palace, Zhou Guanzhao's figure was far away, only the brilliance of the gold and jade gems shining was clearly visible, flashing indescribable majesty and beauty in the morning light.

"Your Majesty," Song Chuanbai stood still and asked, "Why did you call me?" ”

Zhou Guanzhao glanced at him with a smile: "The little girl named Chen Tongsheng you brought in last time, I have seen it." ”

Song Chuanbai looked at her, Zhou Guanzhao's gorgeous skirt turned, and she turned sideways to look at the birds flying on the sky: "That's really a smart, ignorant, and extremely beautiful girl." You like that, don't you? ”

"Who doesn't like that?" Song Chuanbai asked indifferently: "Your Majesty also seems to have a good impression of her." ”

Zhou Guanzhao turned around and said, "I like her because I saw in her what I used to be. I think it's very similar, what does Ziling think? ”

Song Chuanbai replied: "Your Majesty is right. ”

"Don't use this tone to be perfunctory, I can hear you."

The palace people around him have all retreated, this is a habit that has always been used, and when this person talks to the emperor, he doesn't need others to be around at all.

Zhou Guanzhao has a small white jade case beside him, an ancient carved chessboard inlaid with wood and jade, a pot of tea, and two small cups.

Zhou Guanzhao said and stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea, and handed it to Song Chuanbai: "Fang just confronted Wu Xiang in the court, it must be a dry mouth, right?" ”

Song Chuanbai stared quietly at the small cup with blue tea, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if Your Majesty has noticed that whenever Your Majesty wants to do something extraordinary, there will be deliberate, or exaggerated overtures." ”

Zhou Guanzhao was not angry when he said this, and asked, "Really?" ”

"Yes," Song Chuanbai said, both his eyes and his limbs were motionless, and his expression was almost a little indifferent: "Your Majesty's cup of tea today, Ling Chen can't help but think of Your Majesty's conversation with the minister in Chonghe Hall before he ascended the throne. At that time, His Majesty was also in such a posture, and even in this tone, patting the dragon chair and asking the minister if he wanted to sit. ”

Zhou Guanzhao seemed to react for a while, and then gradually recalled a little, and the smile on his face froze slightly: "Do you remember ......?"

"The minister remembers," Song Chuanbai said: "The minister said that he would never regret his choice, I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers." ”

Zhou Guanzhao held the cup of tea, but Song Chuanbai didn't take it for a long time, just like his attitude of refusing the dragon chair back then.

After a stalemate for a while, Zhou Guanzhao seemed to have nothing to say, he drank the tea and slammed it on the white jade case with a "dang" sound, turned his head and said coldly: "Non-toxic." You don't believe me, and you have to blame me for not believing you? ”

"I don't dare."

"What don't you dare?" Zhou Guanzhao said: "In this world, apart from you, who else dares to talk to me like this?" Who else would dare not take my tea? Ten heads for someone else are not enough for him to cut off, but it's you! Zhou Guanzhao said in a low voice, sounding like he always had the illusion of gritting his teeth: "It's just that you are working against me everywhere." ”

"When I was in Yatensi, I always thought that I would never be able to go out of that place for the rest of my life, but I was extremely unwilling, so I acted extremely extremely, and finally I was punished to be immersed in ice water in winter, and I almost drowned myself." Zhou Guanzhao said suddenly: "It was you who took the risk of being caught, fished me up, and used your fur fur to keep me warm." Later, I found out that you also asked for that old dress from someone else. In the days that followed, no matter how reckless and injured I was, it was you who came to save me and help me, until I walked out of the Mitian Division and stepped onto the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme. The last person I want to come out against me is you. ”

Song Chuanbai lowered his eyes and did not make any eye contact with Zhou Guanzhao.

"At first, I thought that Yang and Hou had a unique eye, and I had already seen that I could get to this point, so I helped out, but it turned out to be just a hobby." Zhou Guanzhao said: "Chen Tongsheng said that she doesn't like men, and she wants to travel all over the world to find her biological parents, which is just a pretext, right?" What do you mean by deliberately bringing her to me? ”

"Your Majesty wanted to see her, so the minister ordered her to enter the palace to face the saint."

"Where do you want to help her go?"

Song Chuanbai said calmly: "The minister is just taking in the apprentices left by the deceased. ”

"And took her to Li Cheng?"

"Chen Tongsheng has outstanding martial arts and serves as a guard."

"How powerful?" Zhou Guanzhao then asked.

Song Chuanbai raised his head and said, "Comparable to his teacher Fang Heming." ”

Zhou Guanzhao paused and said, "This is rare, how old is she, and her martial arts can be compared to Fang Heming, the master of the Secret Guard?" ”

"Yes."

Zhou Guanzhao nodded and said, "Then at the banquet to entertain foreign envoys in half a month, call Chen Tongsheng to come." ”

Song Chuanbai was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, the foreign minister is coming, what an important place, what is her use?" ”

"Donghu Xiaoguo has always been good at martial arts, why didn't you come back and ask me to send generals to compete with their warriors?" Zhou Guanzhao smiled slightly: "Since Chen Tongsheng is so powerful, let them also have a good look." ”

Song Chuanbai wanted to say something, but Zhou Guanzhao raised his hand to stop him: "No need to say any more, I also want to see how powerful she is, and whether she is worthy of the responsibility of guarding Yang and Hou." In addition, Zhou Guanzhao began to settle accounts with him: "You are really bold, not only dare to go to the words of Mitian Si Cheng, hinder the actions of his subordinates, but also take people to Licheng without authorization." I'm not going to do anything to you, am you? ”

Song Chuanbai suddenly closed his mouth.

Zhou Guanzhao pointed at him: "The next time there is such a situation of cutting first and then playing, don't blame me for sending someone to arrest you back halfway." ”

Song Chuanbai said: "...... Got it. ”

"In addition," Zhou Guanzhao inadvertently mentioned: "What you said in the court today, is there any evidence?" ”

Song Chuanbai: "General Zhengyuan's march is still ferocious, and every town that has been slaughtered innocently is empirical evidence. ”

"I'm asking you about Wu Hanchi's meddling in the arms shipment."

"Oh......" Song Chuanbai said slowly: "This, I have to ask the household department, the military department is still the book." ”

Zhou Guanzhao Huo Ran turned around and said, "There is no empirical evidence to say what you came out for?" ”

Song Chuanbai smiled and showed his white teeth: "Those who are courtiers naturally dare to ask good questions, there is nothing wrong with the left minister, and naturally there is nothing to worry about." It's better to ask the wrong question and ask the left minister to refute the ministers speechless, and not to let go of the ill-intentioned people because they are afraid of making mistakes, does Your Majesty think this is the truth? ”

Zhou Guanzhao's eyes flashed, and he said half-loudly: "That's right...... You're right. ”

"You stand down, remember to ask Chen Tongsheng to prepare."

Song Chuanbai saluted yes, he bent down very respectfully, and then turned around and walked out. Zhou Guanzhao didn't see it, but Peng Rong, the great eunuch who was waiting around the corner, saw a cold smile on the corner of Yang Hehou's mouth. The smile was fleeting, and Peng Rong only caught a glimpse of it just when he greeted him, and in the blink of an eye, Song Chuanbai's expression returned to the same as usual, and he greeted him when he saw him: "Father-in-law." ”

Peng Rong hurriedly returned the salute, looked at him twice, and thought, Fang Cai was wrong, after all, he was born with smiling lips, and sometimes he should have a bad eye.

However, as soon as he said goodbye to Song Chuanbai, he turned the corner and walked forward, Zhou Guanzhao hurriedly said: "Peng Rong! ”

"The minions are here."

"Go and inform Zuo Xiang, whatever he wants to do, stop first." Zhou Guanzhao made a gesture that pushed him back: "What are you doing in a daze, go quickly!" ”

Although Peng Rong was inexplicable, he immediately reacted to Song Chuanbai's smile, his heart was agitated, and he turned around and ran out.

——————

Song Chuanbai got out of the carriage in front of the Hou Mansion, walked inward while asking Fan Rui: "What about Kiryu?" Tell her to come to me. ”

Fan Rui didn't know, so he quickly called someone to call, and after a while, someone came back and forth: "Miss Chen is no longer in the house." ”

Song Chuanbai took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Where is she going to eat?" The things in the Hou Mansion are not enough for her to eat, or is she not eye-catching? ”

This is known only to Chen Tongsheng himself.

At this time, Song Chuanbai was still asking, Chen Tongsheng had already stepped in like a gust of wind, Song Chuanbai saw it from a distance, and ordered Fan Rui: "Let her come over." What do you scare away all day long? ”

Chen Tongsheng came over and was a little surprised: "Master Hou, you're back." ”

"I'm not in the house, so you're going to run out?" Song Chuanbai said: "Where did you go?" ”

Chen Tongsheng said: "Eat wontons." ”

Fan Rui: "......"

"......" Song Chuanbai said: "How much have you eaten until now?" ”

"A bowl."

"Didn't let you answer me." Song Chuanbai opened his mouth helplessly: "Why are you talking more and more." ”

Chen Tongsheng said: "Oh....."

"Today, Your Majesty specially called me to let you go to the banquet that will entertain the envoy of Donghu in half a month." Song Chuanbai asked, "Do you know what you were asked to do?" ”

Chen Tongsheng looked at Song Chuanbai, and suddenly remembered the things she had seen that Song Chuanbai classified as "messy", and swallowed his saliva: "It can't be, dance." ”

"Think beautifully!" Song Chuanbai knocked on the armrest of the chair, his expression was a little funny, and he was very helpless: "I also asked you to dance, Fan Rui is better than you can dance." ”

Fan Rui, a henchman who has been accompanying Yang and Hou all the year round, always improving himself in order to meet the needs of various tasks, and his henchman Fan Rui, who strives for excellence, silently took a step back.

Chen Tongsheng couldn't help but cast a strange questioning look at him.

"Look somewhere, turn back." Song Chuanbai said: "Donghu Haowu, this time I must have come with carefully selected warriors, and I want to compete with my court." Do you want to go? ”

Chen Tongsheng shook his head.

"How?"

Chen Tongsheng replied honestly: "I'm afraid, I can't beat it, it's embarrassing ......"

Song Chuanbai Yile: "Are you still afraid of this?" ”

"Shame on me, Da Zhou's face." Chen Tongsheng added seriously.

Song Chuanbai hooked his hand towards her, Chen Tongsheng leaned in, looked straight into the bright eyes, and his heart moved suddenly: "Listen, the competition in half a month, you are only allowed to lose, not to win, do you hear?" ”

Chen Tongsheng showed a puzzled gaze, only to hear Song Chuanbai say in a low voice: "I don't know what she's going to do, don't give her a chance to play, understand?" ”

Chen Tongsheng nodded hesitantly.

"That's right," Song Chuanbai said with satisfaction: "Listen to me, if you lose the competition, you won't lose any face, people will only pamper you and praise you too much." But if you win, it's not just that simple. ”
