Chapter 56
"Hey, you two, stop!" Gu Xi originally came out to give Jiang Zuming lunch, but he saw two suspicious little eunuchs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Boss, what should I do?" One of the little eunuchs leaned close to the other eunuch's ear and asked quietly.
"Wait and see." Bai Ling said very calmly, and signaled his subordinates not to make any drastic moves.
The two of them just stood there, waiting for Gu Xi to come up to them.
"You two, which palace is it?" Gu Xi looked at the little eunuch with his head bowed with a suspicious gaze.
Bai Ling's subordinates were stared at by Gu Xi like this, and they were already a little weak-hearted, but now they were even more frightened and their bodies began to tremble.
"Looking back at the words of the chief, the little ones are the ones of the Imperial Horse Supervisor." Bai Ling replied to Gu Xi with a blank face and respectfully, pretending not to know why he was stopped.
The Imperial Horse Warden, as the name suggests, is a place where horses are raised. It's a pity that these words did not dispel Gu Xi's doubts.
"The Imperial Horse Warden is in the far west, why did you come here?" Gu Xi continued to ask.
Bai Ling didn't know where the Imperial Horse Supervisor was, and they were just talking nonsense just now, after all, they had just mixed into the palace.
"Manager Gu, I have something to say to you." Bai Ling suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Xi, and spit out such a sentence.
"If you can't say why, the Janissaries will have to call the Praetorian Guard to arrest you as assassins." Gu Xi glanced at Bai Ling with disdain. A little eunuch dared to look at him directly, but he was bold.
Although he was suspicious of the actions of the two little eunuchs, he didn't really regard them as assassins, and said that their arrest was just a normal threat.
"Manager Gu, these words are about your footsteps." Bai Ling said very mysteriously, and the corners of his mouth showed an inevitable smile.
Gu Xi sighed in his heart.
Footsteps?!
Because he is a martial arts practitioner, his footsteps are softer than ordinary people, not to mention that he specializes in light skills, and when he usually walks, he will light his steps when he doesn't pay attention. But this subtle difference will not be noticed by people who are not stronger than him in martial arts. Therefore, he usually walked in the palace and did not pay too much attention.
Now, the little eunuch in front of him, reminding him of the footsteps, did he find something? Gu Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Ling carefully again.
A mysterious smile tugged at the corner of Bai Ling's mouth, allowing Gu Xi to look him up and down. The more Bai Ling behaved so calmly, the more flustered Gu Xi's heart became.
"Manager Gu, can we go?" Bai Ling approached Gu Xi and chuckled, as if he was sure that he would let them go.
"You ......" Gu Xi took a step back with some surprise.
Bai Ling made a color at his companion, lowered his head and left, without looking at Gu Xi again.
Gu Xi stretched out his hand, trying to stop them from leaving, but hesitantly reached back.
"Manager Gu, why are you still here! If you don't pass the meal, your majesty will be angry again. A small eunuch in the distance hurriedly ran over and said breathlessly.
"Let's go." Gu Xi didn't look at the direction in which Bai Ling and they left, but frowned, and the little eunuch who had always come asked, "Your Majesty urged?" ”
"Urged. Isn't this just a matter of letting the little one come out to see why lunch hasn't come yet. The little eunuch replied respectfully.
"You go back first to reply to Your Majesty, and say that lunch will be there soon." Gu Xi told the little eunuch and hurriedly walked in the direction of the imperial dining room.
