Geng Yu followed the servant all the way to the council hall, and Bi Liang was already waiting for him. Bi Liang, who was standing in the room, looked like he was in his early thirties, dressed in an official uniform, with a good demeanor and a rather calm bearing, anyone who saw him would think that he was an honest and reliable person.

Seeing Geng Yu enter the house, he first ordered someone to serve tea, and talked a little gossip with Geng Yu before he slowly pointed out, "Before the lower official came, he heard that the Western Regions were barren and bitter cold, but now he came here in person, but he felt that this place was indeed a good place for soldiers to fight." ”

Geng Yu hooked his lips, "Lord Bi has also seen the various departments of Xirong now, and he must have also experienced the fierce folk customs here." What's more, there are often bandits in Fuyu City, if I shake the light of the perennial soldiers and horses are weak and unprepared, how can I restrain them? ”

Bi Liang nodded approvingly, and there was some emotion in his tone, "Yes, it's a pity that the royal nobles sitting on the high platform in the royal city have not been able to experience the difficulty here, and they only feel that peace can be negotiated with a three-inch tongue, or it is as simple as playing power tricks with them." ”

Geng Yu smiled and didn't speak, just rubbed the somewhat rough walls of the teacup.

"Those people with eyes above the top and ignorance of the sufferings of the world sit high above everyone, and they can point fingers like this according to their own imagination casually," Bi Liang's voice gradually lightened, and finally seemed to sigh, "Don't the eight princes want to ......?"

His voice gradually dispersed into the air, and his palm, which was stretched out in the air, slowly and firmly turned over, as if something had been overturned invisibly.

————————

Geng Yi looked at Geng Shi, who was kneeling in front of him with his head down, and his face changed again and again, "...... When was this? ”

"Just now, it was just a mistake...... Geng Jiu was now searching over there. Geng Shihan knelt on the ground, cold sweat flowed down the back of his neck into the collar, and the coldness seeped into his heart.

Geng glanced at the direction of the council hall, and finally gritted his teeth, "Take me to see the place where Mrs. Geng disappeared first, and then I will report to the master." ”

Without saying a word, the two went to the building, where Geng Jiu was tapping on the wall around the corner, listening from time to time. When the two of them approached him, he happened to press a certain part of the wall, pushing open a secret door that almost merged with the wall. Geng Yi looked at the steps behind the secret door that led to the dark depths of the underground, and his face condensed, "...... I'll go and inform my master, Geng Jiu will go to find other guards, Geng Shi will go down to explore first, and be careful not to startle the snake and hurt his wife. ”

Geng Jiu Geng Ten quickly responded, and the three of them all became an afterimage and disappeared in place.

————————

The little koi sat in the dark, her eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people, so she could see what the thin boy in front of her was rubbing against the wall. After watching it for a long time, she said, "Are you touching that raised stone?" At the position of two fingers on your right hand. ”

Teenager: "...... Shut up. ”

Little Koi: "...... Oh. ”

As she walked around the corner, she was pulled by a pair of thin, strong hands and plunged into a secret door open in the wall beside her. Then the hands grabbed her neck with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, and dragged her down the steps.

The last thing she looked at was the slowly closing secret door, obscuring the last glimmer of light from the outside world.

It wasn't until the secret door was completely closed that the man let go of the hand covering her mouth, and some hoarse young man's voice came from behind her, "It's useless to scream, they can't hear it, they can't save you." "There was something strange about the man who spoke in a strange tone, not like a light-shaker.

The little koi blinked, and slowly fell backwards down the steps with the force he was holding his neck, "I didn't want to scream...... Can you let me go the other way? It's a little uncomfortable to walk backwards like this. ”

Her captors did not move, as if considering whether her demands were reasonable. Eventually, the man let go of his hand and grabbed her arm and walked down.

The little koi saw that it was a thin teenager who had held him hostage, shirtless, with strange clothes around his waist. He lowered his head slightly as he descended the stairs, and the bones in his neck protruded one by one, as if they were about to pierce the flesh.

The staircase is long, and it doesn't go all the way down, and there are quite a few forks in the middle. The little koi secretly took a hairpin from its head and made a mark with the tip of the hairpin at each bend.

In order to cover up this noise, she thought for a moment and began to ask her young man, "Who are you?" …… What is your name? What are you going to do with me? ……”

She only asked a few words, and the young man turned his head fiercely and glared at her, "Shut up!" ”

It was too dark for the boy to look directly into her eyes, so the originally fierce glares looked at the wrong place, showing a bit of inexplicable joy.

Little Koi: "...... Burst. ”

Little Koi: "Ahem, okay, I won't speak." ”

It wasn't until the two of them stopped in this place just now, that the young man touched the mechanism under her guidance, pressed it, and another door opened. The little koi couldn't help but squint at the sudden light outside, and the boy adjusted to the light a little, turned around and pulled off a piece of fabric from the hem of her clothes to cover her eyes, and then pulled her arm and continued to walk forward.

Listening to the fact that there are no voices around, are you out of the city......?

The little koi's fingers moved, and the hairpin that had been holding her hand just now fell to a less conspicuous place next to the secret door. The boy who held her captive heard something and looked back, but heard the little girl beside him ask him in that sweet and soft voice, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

The young man said fiercely, "Shut up! Seeing that this little girl was so fierce that he held her mouth, he subconsciously shrunk his neck, and then pulled her arm and walked forward.

In the council hall, Geng Yu was silent for a long time before he shook his head with a smile, "I believe that my father has his own decision on these things." ”

"The emperor naturally has a plan in his heart. But now, the concubine Niangniang is the most talkative person in front of the emperor. Bi Liang withdrew his hand, slightly disappointed in his tone, "Does the Eighth Prince want to sit still?" ”

Geng Yu played with the teacup and looked at the clear tea in the cup, "Although I left Wangcheng when I was eleven years old, I also have some channels to know about Wangcheng. As far as I know, Master Bi and my second imperial brother ...... It's always been close. As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Bi Liang and said with a smile, "Now you don't need to pretend to test my tone anymore." You let my second brother relax, no matter how many competitors he has, he doesn't have anything to do with me. I'm just here to confirm that you're indeed a city lord who can suppress Xirong. ”

Bi Liang was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that Geng Yu would be far away in the border of the Jade City all the year round, but he could still know some things about the royal city. With a wry smile, Bi Liang took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Geng Yu with both hands, "Although the eighth prince has extraordinary ability, he is not in the royal city, and there are many joints among them, and the lower officials can't explain them one by one for a while...... But there is one thing I hope you will be aware of, the lower official and the second prince are close, but it is just the meaning of that person. ”

Geng Yu took the letter, and Bi Liang bowed deeply to him, "The queen has always been very worried about you. ”

Geng Yu opened the envelope, and inside was a letter written by the queen herself, as well as a waist card of the queen's mother's house. Before Geng Yu could speak, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the chamber.

Bi Liang stood up rather displeased and said to the door, "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to go near the council hall?" Stand back! ”

Geng Yu frowned as he listened to the strange rhythm of the knock on the door. He suppressed the uneasiness that suddenly surged in his heart, stood up and smiled apologetically at Bi Liang, "This may be my subordinate." Two steps to the door and opened the door, I saw Geng Yi kneeling neatly outside the door, "Master, Madam is gone." ”
