He picked up the teacup, blew it, took another sip, closed his eyes, showed an intoxicated look, and said, "I don't envy the golden cup, I don't envy the white jade cup." Do not envy the province of the dynasty, do not envy the stage at dusk. Thousands of envy of the West River, once to Jingling City. ”

He looked at the middle-aged man beside him: "The tea is always Mengshan, and for so many years, the entry of tea into the house has been so difficult, just like everything our secret mansion has done for His Majesty." ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "The tea ceremony is long, it has a long history, Guan Lao told me, that is to play the piano to the cow, but the Guan family's loyalty to His Majesty is known to everyone, and His Majesty will naturally know it, just like the tea ceremony has finally entered the orthodoxy?" ”

Guan Lao smiled and waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to talk to himself, the status of the Guan family in Nanwu was clear to everyone.

The door of the secret room slowly opened, and the shopkeeper Yue entered with a frown, and when he saw Guan Lao, his face showed a little respect.

"Looks like something bad is happening?" Guan Lao put the tea cup on the coffee table and squinted his cloudy old eyes.

"He's coming." Shopkeeper Yue said.

"Who's coming?"

Before Guan Lao could speak, the middle-aged man beside him asked with a puzzled expression.

"Guan Kuo." Shopkeeper Yue said.

Guan Lao seemed to be slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "No matter how he knows about this place, and whether he knows his own background or not, he is now in the center of the whirlpool, and he is completely unable to prove himself, so he is not qualified to talk to us." ”

Shopkeeper Yue's face sank, he groaned for a while, shook his head and said: "Old Mo, the gate of Chang'an has been closed, and he asks us to help him escape from Chang'an, and then help him go to our Dawu territory." ”

Guan Lao seemed to think it was very funny, and the middle-aged man next to him also laughed.

"He may know something, and he thinks he is very remarkable, Guan Qinghe has always kept in touch with us back then," Guan Lao stroked his beard, "But what is he who asks for it?" ”

"It's really funny, when I returned to Chang'an, I really thought that I had the ability to reach the sky through the old feelings of the Northern Tang Emperor for Guan Qinghe, hehe." The middle-aged man also laughed.

Shopkeeper Yue sighed: "Guan Lao, things are not as simple as you think. ”

There was an instant silence in the secret room, and Guan Lao's eyes became sharp, he probably sensed that something was wrong.

"Guan Lao, this time, you have to go and see Guan Kuo." The shopkeeper hugged his fists.

Although the middle-aged man beside Guan Lao vaguely felt something, he still said in an incredible tone: "This is really a fantasy. ”

"In his hand, he has the jade decree of Her Royal Highness the little princess, and those who see the jade decree are like seeing Her Royal Highness the little princess herself, which is what His Majesty and the little princess all stipulate." When Shopkeeper Yue said this, his voice trembled slightly, although he had a slight status in the Southern Wu Secret Mansion, but in front of that one's jade order, he was really nothing.

"Shhh

"How is this possible!?" The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he shouted in disbelief.

……

……

The door to the secret room was not closed, but the shopkeeper Yue was gone and returned.

The figure in the darkness was blurry, and a faint smell of blood poured in.

The smell of blood made Guan Lao feel very uncomfortable, so he changed his position.

Guan Kuo finally stepped in.

His body was covered in stab wounds and blood, mottled as if it had come out of a pool of blood.

Guan Lao looked very majestic, but there was a huge horror flashing in the depths of his eyes, and there was even a hint of nervousness.

As an old man who has been loyal to the Southern Wu Secret Mansion for many years, the object of his horror and nervousness will certainly not be Guan Kuo himself.

The news he learned just now was still echoing in his mind, and he still couldn't resolve the shock, and he couldn't figure it out—why did Guan Kuo have the jade order of Her Royal Highness the Little Princess?

Guan Kuo briefly looked at the old man in front of him.

That old face was mediocre, far less impressive than Bai Zhangshang's room and others, but Guan Kuo would not despise him.

The more ordinary it seems on the surface, the more difficult it may be.

He weighed the jade pendant that Ji Ru gave himself in his hand, and he didn't know very well the deterrent power that the jade pendant represented for a while, but at that time, Ji Ru told him that the jade pendant could help him.

The corners of Guan Lao's mouth moved, after all, he still couldn't resist the deterrent power brought by the jade pendant, stretched out his hand to let the middle-aged man next to him and the shopkeeper Yue help him up, slowly got up, and slowly fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man and the shopkeeper Yue also bowed down.

Guan Kuo vaguely heard the sound of bowing down one after another in the dark, he couldn't see those people, but they were real, and they would be very terrifying force.

In addition, he was a little flattered, after all, these people's actions would make him have some kind of misunderstanding, so he couldn't help asking, "Old man, who are you?" ”

Guan Lao got up with a slightly cold face, sat back in the chair again, and regained his previous majesty.

"Don't get me wrong," he said, "Seeing Yuling is like seeing Her Royal Highness the Little Princess herself, what you saw just now has nothing to do with you. ”

Guan Kuo was stunned, Ji Ru had never told him this kind of statement, but then, he smiled and said, "This kind of thought will not happen." ”

He knew very well that when he wanted to seek help from others, even if he had any rights given to him by Ji Ru, he should not really think that he was invincible like ignorant people such as Shang Weeping Willow. Being low-key and humble will make people feel more comfortable and more willing to help you.

Guan Lao raised his eyes and looked at him, he didn't have any special good feelings, but he didn't have any bad feelings: "Tonight, the Northern Tang Dynasty is turned upside down, and then there are many people who want to kill you." ”

Guan Kuo was silent for a moment, and Guan Lao's topic aroused his unpleasantness about what happened tonight, there was anger, sadness, and many other emotions.

"Actually, I don't know exactly who you are," Guan Kuo said, "but it should be very powerful when you think about it." ”

Guan Lao waved his hand: "This kind of praise is very cliché and naïve. ”

"I need your help."

"What helps?"

"Help me escape from Chang'an, and then lead me to Southern Wu."

The middle-aged man beside Guan Lao couldn't help but sneer: "To put it lightly, there are so many people who want to kill you tonight, do you think this is a very simple thing?" ”

Guan Kuo lowered his head and stroked the jade pendant in his hand, didn't look at him more, just said, "But your little princess didn't say that." ”
