In the Qianqing Palace, Chu Mubai hurriedly stepped through the door after passing through the courtesy. He is now holding Mo Guhan's token, and he can freely enter and exit the Forbidden City, this is the second person after Shao Ziqing to receive this honor, and even Chang Zhiyi, who is a high and powerful person, does not have such qualifications.

Mo Guhan went through the incident of breaking into the palace that night, but instead of blaming him, he became more and more trusted.

When Chu Mubai entered the Qianqing Palace, he closed the door directly and stepped forward to give a big salute.

Mo Guhan has already moved all the chapters to the dormitory, and after the early dynasty, he has been guarding the moon every step of the way. He raised his eyes from the top of the concerto, and when he saw Chu Mubai's solemn face, he knew that something important must be there.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Mubai nodded: "The person sent by Weichen to follow Li Teng'er was killed, and the body was thrown to the north city gate. ”

Mo Guhan didn't care at all: "Li Teng'er is by no means an ordinary person, she is very vigilant, how can those who spy on three-legged cats be able to track her?" ”

Chu Mubai nodded: "This is not the point, the point is that the soldiers guarding the city recalled that Li Teng'er left the city after noon." ”

Mo Guhan thought for a moment: "In other words, after Li Teng'er left the palace, he was delayed in the city for a total of an hour. ”

"Yes," Chu Mubai nodded respectfully: "When she went out of the city, she carried a lot of street food and some rare small things in women's hands. ”

Mo Guhan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then you went along the road to investigate?" ”

"After Li Teng'er left the palace, she walked slowly along the street, sent off the iron guards around her, and did not ride a horse, it was true that she was delayed on the street for some time, but in the end, she entered Tao Ranju."

"Tao Ranju? Where to go? ”

"Teahouse."

"Someone saw it with their own eyes?"

"Li Teng'er is wearing such a dazzling look today, it is difficult not to be noticed. Moreover, before Li Teng'er entered Taoranju, he bought two sauce pork knuckles from the vendors near Taoranju, and generously gave the vendor one or two silver. The vendor lowered his head and counted the copper plates in the money bag, and when he raised his head, Li Teng'er had already entered Tao Ranju. ”

"How long has she been in there?"

"After a delay of a stick of incense, after coming out, I hurried out of the city."

Mo Guhan frowned and thought for a moment, knowing that Chu Mubai was not a person who made a fuss, so he must have made some other discovery: "And then?" ”

Then the ministers inquired, and that Tao Ranju was Chang Zhiyi's secret property. And Chang Zhiyi also happened to be out of the house during that time. ”

"Do you suspect that Li Teng'er went to Tao Ranju to meet Chang Zhiyi?"

Chu Mubai nodded solemnly: "If the Chang family is unwilling to let the queen wake up, then Chang Zhiyi will definitely try his best to prevent Li Teng'er from offering blood ginseng to the emperor." Hearing that Li Teng'er would definitely not be able to hold back when she entered Beijing, she immediately asked her to dissuade her. The minister was worried that Li Teng'er would change his hexagram, or do something with the blood ginseng, which would ruin the efficacy of the blood ginseng. ”

Mo Guhan nodded: "Your inference is very reasonable, it's just that I and yours have different concerns. ”

"Oh?" Chu Mubai raised his eyes in surprise.

"What I'm concerned about is Li Teng'er."

"Li Teng'er? What do you mean? ”

"According to the situation I investigated, as well as the experience of dealing with Li Teng'er twice, I know that she Li Teng'er is not an ordinary woman, she is a character who can use Xiliang as a chessboard, how could she be so stupid to leave such a big flaw and be discovered by you?"

Chu Mubai pondered suspiciously: "Your Majesty, do you mean that Li Teng'er deliberately exposed flaws and asked us to turn our attention to Chang Zhiyi?" ”

Mo Guhan nodded: "Whether Yuehua controls the Chang family's secrets, none of us knows. But if I knew that Chang Zhiyi had colluded with her Xiliang, I would definitely not be able to tolerate it. Li Teng'er clearly has ulterior motives, and wants to make me suspect Chang Zhiyi. Do you think, what will happen if I am impulsive and turn against the Chang family? ”

Chu Mubai is a very smart character, although he is not good at these intrigue calculations, but Mo Guhan suddenly realized: "Chang'an is in civil strife, and Li Teng'er leads 3,000 elite soldiers, and is equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, with one enemy and one hundred, then you can take the opportunity to profit." ”

Mo Guhan casually played with the brush in his hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Although I don't know what Li Teng'er's intentions are on this trip, she is definitely smart today but was mistaken by being smart, but she reminded me not to act rashly for a while, lest someone take advantage of the fire to rob me." ”

"What about blood ginseng?"

"In order to prevent a lot of dreams at night, Chang Zhiyi is really fighting the idea of blood ginseng, you immediately go to the Xiliang military camp in exchange for blood ginseng!"

Chu Mubai gave up his hand and answered: "Obey the order, the last general will go immediately." ”

After noon, Chu Mubai personally escorted three thousand bows and crossbows out of the city to the Xiliang garrison barracks.

Li Teng'er personally greeted him out, raised his eyes to look at Chu Mubai on horseback in the face of the sun, and his smile slowly bloomed.

"General Chu, why can't you wait to come and see Teng'er?"

Chu Mubai didn't speak, and Zijin behind him smiled coldly: "It's really shameless, Brother Mubai was just ordered to come over in exchange for blood ginseng." ”

Li Teng'er glanced at Zijin obliquely, not annoyed, and said with a grin: "Miss Zijin is trying to deliberately annoy me, and then provoke me to break the contract, so that the queen mother will not get blood ginseng and will not be able to recover physically." Oh, General Chu does have a deep affection for his brother and sister, but Miss Zijin doesn't need to be jealous and play such a vicious heart? ”

Qiu Zijin was slandered, and immediately turned red with anger: "Phew! With the heart of a villain, is it possible that everyone in the world is as shameless as you? ”

Li Teng'er "giggled" and laughed: "Oh, talking about the central matter, I was annoyed and angry." General Chu should be careful of the people around you, this woman is jealous, but she is a little more vicious than the wasp tip and scorpion tail. ”

Qiu Zijin shook the purple gold knife in his hand, and was about to step forward to fight with Li Teng'er. was stopped by Chu Mubai: "You just have to treat what she says as if you can't hear it." ”

Qiu Zijin was protected by Chu Mubai, and his heart was a little more balanced, and he snorted indignantly, returned the purple gold knife to the sheath, and endured his anger.

Li Teng'er pursed her lips and threw a complaining look at Chu Mubai: "It's like a piece of wood, I really don't understand the customs." ”

Chu Mubai pretended not to hear it: "The princess has already brought you all the bows and crossbows, a total of three thousand, one is not much, one is not many, one is not much, please accept the princess." ”

Li Teng'er walked over with Nana and walked under Chu Mu's white horse: "Can't you get off the horse and talk?" This makes this princess look up at you, and her neck is about to break. ”

Chu Mubai turned over and dismounted, put the reins on the horse's back, and still didn't say a word.

The soldiers behind him carried over several boxes of Zhuge bows and crossbows, opened the lids of the boxes, lined them up, and asked Li Teng'er to accept them.

Li Teng'er waved his hand, and the guards behind him stepped forward, each of them took out a bow and crossbow from the box, weighed it in his hand, glanced at Chu Mubai suspiciously, and then looked at it carefully.

"Princess Qiyu, these bows and crossbows are empty."

"Empty?" Li Teng'er raised her eyebrows, stepped forward to take the bow and crossbow, and skillfully opened the mechanism for filling the crossbow arrows, then turned her head and asked Chu Mubai: "General Chu, what's going on?" What does this mean in your country? ”

Chu Mubai stared at the movements in her hand, his heart moved, and he smiled indifferently: "All the crossbow arrows equipped, Mu Bai has ordered someone to escort them to the border pass and deliver them to your country." When Princess Li Teng'er returns to China and passes through the pass, she can take it back by the way. ”

Li Teng'er didn't expect Chu Mubai to leave such a hand, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Why, is it difficult for General Chu to worry about Teng'er that I will burn, kill and loot on the territory of your country?" ”

Chu Mubai didn't look at her: "No, Mubai is just worried that the crossbow arrows are heavy, Princess Teng'er is tired all the way, and it is inconvenient to transport." ”

Li Teng'er threw the bow and crossbow back, clapped his hands, walked straight to Chu Mubai, and smiled charmingly: "I didn't expect General Chu to be such a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade." However, if I don't check, how do I know if your emperor has done anything on the bow and crossbow? ”

"The princess is so familiar with the means of the right people, it is obvious that she knows the internal structure of our chain bow and crossbow very well, and it is clear whether there is a problem with this crossbow or not. What's more, Her Royal Highness the princess personally escorted the blood ginseng here, which is a great favor for me Chu Mubai, and I Chu Mubai will not do this kind of untrustworthy deed. ”

Li Teng'er pursed her lips and nodded, and exhaled at Chu Mubai: "Chang'an people have always been cunning, and only you can barely believe it." ”

Chu Mubai took a step back quietly, bowed his head slightly, and stretched out his hand to Li Teng'er: "What about blood ginseng?" ”

Li Teng'er high-fived, and immediately a soldier took out a long wooden box from the tent.

"This blood ginseng Teng'er has long been prepared, even if your Emperor Chang'an is stingy and unwilling to exchange it for a bow and crossbow, Teng'er's blood ginseng is also for the queen's mother."

"Really?" Chu Mubai turned slightly: "When Mu Bai came, the emperor once told that if Princess Teng'er got cheap and behaved, if she said such a thing, Mu Bai didn't have to be too polite, she could bring the bow and crossbow back intact." ”

Li Teng'er was stunned again: "General Chu also learned badly, just joking with you, how can you take it seriously?" ”

Chu Mubai smiled slightly: "I'm just joking with Princess Teng'er, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

Li Teng'er turned around and took the blood ginseng in his hand, looking embarrassed: "But if Teng'er hands over the blood ginseng to General Chu, what if your country goes back on its word and doesn't hand over the bow and crossbow to Teng'er?" There is no use for such empty boxes. ”

"Princess Teng'er is a happy person, what do you say should be?"

Li Teng'er pretended to think for a moment, tilted her head and glanced at Chu Mubai up and down, squinted her eyes and said as if with bad intentions: "Otherwise, how about General Chu escorting Teng'er out of the customs after the queen mother takes the blood ginseng and is in good health?" ”

Before Chu Mubai could speak, Zijin on the side immediately refused: "Impossible!" ”

Li Teng'er glanced at her: "This princess didn't ask you, besides, can you be the master of General Chu?" Do you really think of yourself as General Chu's fiancée? ”

"Who doesn't know what you're thinking?" Zijin said indignantly, mercilessly.

"Then the girl will tell me, what is the princess in her mind?"

Zijin choked and snorted coldly: "You are clearly so, but you have bad intentions." ”

"Yes, this princess just has bad intentions, what's wrong?"

Zijin was not Li Teng'er's opponent, and turned his head to Chu Mubai and said, "Brother Mubai can't agree to her." ”

Chu Mubai thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I promise you, but I need to make a decision with the emperor." ”

Li Teng'er slapped her palms and smiled, full of innocence: "It's all up to you, I listen to you, you can do whatever you say." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Zijin like a show off, and Zijin was so angry that his face turned pale, he snorted coldly and turned his head.

Li Teng'er handed the blood ginseng in his hand to Chu Mubai: "I hope Sister Yuehua can recover soon." ”

Chu Mubai said "thank you" indifferently, turned around and got on the horse, greeted him, and immediately left.
