Chapter 15: A Gamble

"Below is the five sons of the Shu Wangfu Baili Shi, knock to see the city lord!" Baili Shi knelt on the ground, covering his sleeves, unable to see clearly.

Outside the door

"Hey, why didn't you let me in! Just let him go in! The green branch tugged at the guard's arm, and the delicate face was indignant.

The guards stared: unmoved, their eyes staring straight ahead, all in front of them were floating clouds.

Green Branch flicked his sleeves: "Hmph, if you don't let me in, I won't enter, this girl is not rare!" ”

With his head held high, the green branch strode towards the garden. Liao Qian in the distance touched his chin, this little girl is not an ordinary person, her behavior is not like that of other ladies, and the basket in her hand is also useful, what is the sacredness......

The back garden of the Midtown Palace is full of birds and flowers, the air is filled with a faint fragrance of jasmine, butterflies stay on a flower and suck nectar on the flowers, the green branches tilt their heads, and hang the flower basket in the air.

"Aiqing, please get up! What is there to tell you about this time? I don't know where the eldest young master and the second young master are now? The city lord on the stairs couldn't see his face, Baili Shi raised his head and saw only a pair of gilt embroidered shoes, the white gauze shook slightly, and the man behind the white gauze leaned slightly sideways, with a touch of fun in his eyes.

This bundle of five sons of the palace came today, it must not be because of that explanation, and the stern resoluteness cannot be ignored!

Baili Shi patted his robe and said: "City Lord Bing, there is a reluctant invitation to come here this time, please listen to the City Lord!" ”

The city lord on the seat dragged his tail note and said lazily: "I don't know what is going on, so that Baili Gongzi is so serious?" ”

Baili Shi doesn't care, but whether he can solve the catastrophe of the Shu Wangfu still needs the help of this city lord.

"My father, that is, the old prince Shu, the death of the old prince, there is something strange about it, but my palace is now peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and people from all sides are eyeing my palace in the palace, I have investigated the matter of this suicide note, but it will be difficult for the prisoner to return to the case!"

Baili Shi was resolute on his face, as if he had made up his mind: "So I want to make a bet with the city lord and come to end the matter of my palace!" ”

He made this decision after careful consideration, and now that the situation was tense and urgent, he would get the city lord to agree to his request, and he expected that the city lord would definitely agree, because he had a heavy weapon.

The city lord behind the white gauze stared at Baili Shi's face, narrowed his eyes slightly, he couldn't guess what idea this Baili Shi had for a while, but he asked Shu Wangfu to give an explanation that had not been sent, he knew that Shu Wangfu had been entrenched in Nanyan City for a long time, and the people there loved Shu Wangfu very much, although this Shu Wangfu was indeed a nail in the way, but it was far from threatening the posture of Zhongcheng, but what was the idea of this Baili Shi?

"Gamble? What kind of bet, and what does Baili Gongzi want to bet on? The city lord's slender finger bones lifted the corner of the white veil, revealing half of his white cheeks, the city lord got up from his seat, and as soon as Baili Shi raised his eyes, he couldn't stop being surprised.

The lord of the castle was dressed in embroidered gold and silver robes, with a silver crown on his head, his black hair drooping, his eyes were slender and the glow was boundless, his nose was stiff and his lips were red, and even his ears were tinged with a faint pink color behind his smooth forehead.

Baili Shi never thought that this city lord of the middle city was such a bewitching young man, the previous city lord had an average face, and his wife was also mediocre, why would he give birth to such a bewitching son? This is something that Baili Shi can't understand, the current city lord was succeeded last year, he has never seen the current city lord, and now when he sees it, he is shocked!

Regardless of Baili Shi, he still kept his surprised heart very well: "I want to bet with the city lord, and the explanation on the letter sent after gambling with the palace is no different from what I said below, but the explanation on the letter is wrong!" ”

The city lord touched his lips between his hands and smiled: "But how can this city lord believe that what you said is right, and what is in the letter is wrong?" ”

Baili Shi closed his eyes, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the city lord: "This letter has explained everything, if the city lord doesn't want to believe it, he can naturally send someone to investigate." ”

The lord of the city found a nearby stool and sat down, supported his head with one hand, and opened the letter.

After a while, the city lord folded the envelope, his slender eyes were deep and bottomless, and the corners of his lips rose slightly: "Liao Qian, go and verify." ”

Baili Shi only heard a gust of wind and asked, and the envelope was gone.

The city lord poured a cup of tea: "Please also ask Baili Gongzi to wait for a while, if the situation is true, this bet - this city lord will take it." ”

Baili Shi was not in a hurry, but suddenly thought of the green branch girl......

Back garden

Green Branch asked about the fragrance in the flower basket, and nodded with satisfaction, although this palace is not good, but fortunately, there are still these flowers that can support my flower basket.

Green Zhi picked up the flower basket and put it on her arm, and snorted her mouth, I don't know what this Baili Shi talked about with the city lord, she should evacuate quickly.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became very heavy, and the city lord clenched the envelope, and his eyes became extremely dangerous.

"According to what the Baili Gongzi said on the envelope, the city lord agreed to your bet, but I don't know what the Baili Gongzi wants?"

Baili Shi secretly sighed at the innocence of the city's affairs, and said solemnly: "I hope that the city lord can give me a place to stay for the hundreds of people in the palace, that's all." As a matter of sincerity, I will present a gift to the lord of the city. ”

The city lord's slender fingers tapped on the handrail, thoughtfully: "If the city lord wins, the prince of Baili will have to do things for the city lord for free." ”

Baili Shi was a little puzzled by this answer, but he still agreed, as "the safety of him and the green branch" during this period, they could not leave the middle city until the prisoner was caught.

Bundle of royal mansions

"Smack"

"What?! The second brother is dead? What about the third young master? Bailiyan didn't have time to pay attention to the broken cup, and now there was news that shocked him.

Baili City died with several swords in his body, Baili Yun was nowhere to be found, Baili Shi was nowhere to be seen, and even the guards were alive and dead.

Bailiyan sat slumped in a chair and covered his face, how could he Shu Wangfu evolve into today's situation? Brothers kill each other, siblings draw knives against each other, and forces on all sides are ready to move.

Bailiyan touched the jade wrench, and his eyes were complicated and he couldn't see the truth.

"Someone! Give me the third young master wanted in the whole city, find the fifth young master, don't come back if you can't find it! Bailiyan gave a death order in his heart, and a line of tears was left on his wheat-colored cheeks, whose scarf did he wet?
