After a few moments, the two sat down facing each other at the tea table.

Shangguan Li started to order tea, and the sleeves of his shirt slipped down during the action, revealing a section of his wrist, and there was indeed a bruise on his wrist, which looked really shocking.

Feng Sibei stared at the red mark, his eyes slightly darkened.

"I remember I told His Highness that it was a deal between us."

"Oh?"

Feng Sibei frowned a little unpleasantly.

"Is the so-called deal of the county lord a bad thing for me at a critical moment?"

"As early as when we met in Jingtang, I said that I have my own approach to Shangguan Xun. It's just that Your Highness thinks I'm thinking the same way as you. ”

A trace of anger appeared between Feng Sibei's eyebrows.

"What is the so-called way of the county lord?"

Shangguan Li put the tea leaves into a sunken wooden cup and carefully crushed them with a pounding pestle.

"I will protect Shangguan Xun."

Without waiting for Feng Sibei to turn her face, she said leisurely.

"It's just that the Prime Minister's Mansion will no longer be a force under King Yu from now on, and it will no longer oppose His Highness."

"Why do you think you can do it?"

"I have my own way, though I know. Your Highness must hate me now, but whether Your Highness believes it or not, I have no intention of being your enemy. ”

She strained the tea grounds and picked up the kettle from the stove.

"Zizi-"

The moment the hot water and the tea came into contact, the refreshing fragrance of the tea exploded instantly, so fragrant that Feng Sibei, who was focused on Shangguan Li, couldn't help but glance at the tea she ordered.

There are two cups of tea on the table, the tea is clear and thorough, the tea stalk has a verdant background, but there is no excess residue at the bottom of the cup, which is clear and bright, and very attractive.

Shangguan Li pushed one of the cups in front of Feng Sibei before continuing.

"If Your Highness is willing to sell me this favor and leave this matter to me to solve, I will naturally be grateful. If you don't want to ......"

"If not, what about the county lord?"

"Then it's up to each person."

Shangguan Li took a sip of tea, bent his eyebrows, and showed a smile.

"What does Your Highness think?"

Feng Sibei didn't move the tea in front of him, and there was a bit of coldness in his voice.

"Do you think the current situation is very favorable to you? Whether it is this king or the second brother of this king, he will not let Shangguan Xun go easily. He is to destroy the mouth, and this king is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. Speaking of which, this is one of the few times when we can reach a consensus. ”

"Is the county lord really so confident that he can block the power of the two princes?"

Shangguan Li's words were full of speed and leisure, and his tone was casual.

"Who knows, after all, in this big week, there are still people who can stand above the two princes, what will happen, it's hard to say."

Could it be the meaning of my father?

Feng Sibei's mind instantly crossed this thought.

Without waiting for him to think deeply, Shangguan Li had already finished drinking a cup of tea and stood up.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, then I will go first. I hope that when we meet again in the future, we will not face each other. ”

If...... I can only get rid of the stumbling blocks in front of me with my own hands.

Although she never thought Feng Sibei was a good person, scheming was not a shortcoming. Compared with Feng Sichen, he is still a little more pleasing to the eye.

"Wait."

Feng Sibei suddenly stopped her.

"The wound on your hand ......"

"Huh?"

Shangguan Li glanced at his wrist.

"No problem."

With that, she pushed open the door of the private room and walked out, and soon left the teahouse.

Feng Sibei sat in place for a long time, and then drank the half-cold cup of tea in front of him.

The tea is really fragrant and has a timeless aftertaste.

After taking a sip of tea, his eyes gradually sharpened.

It was night, the stars were falling, and the moon was hidden among the clouds.

The criminal department was silent, it was late at night, and even the most diligent Gao Yong was, the lights in the room had already been extinguished at this moment.

In the prison, except for the officials on duty, they basically "listened to the snoring", and two of the three officials nodded their heads one by one, and they seemed to be extremely sleepy.

Suddenly, a small, sharp voice suddenly sounded.

A puff of white smoke drifted by, and no one was left behind, whether they were half-asleep or relegated, without exception, they all fell.

After the white smoke, dozens of black-clothed people suddenly appeared, all of them were black-clothed and masked, leaving one or two people who let go of the wind, and the rest all ran towards the depths of the prison with a clear goal.

In front of Shangguan Xun's cell, there was silence.

The prison was dim, and only a single figure could be seen inside.

The men in black soon came to the door of the cell.

Just as everyone was about to break through the prison and enter, the leader suddenly stopped.

"Slow, bloody! Withdraw! ”

Between the lightning and flint, the black-clothed people in the cell who had already stepped into the cell half a step did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately turned around and retreated outside.

However, dozens of people just turned their heads, just facing another team of people, also dressed in black and masked, at first glance, it was simply a group of people.

However, after a while, both sides stared at each other, and after a while, they both reacted, this is not their own person!

I don't know who made the first move, and the two sides immediately began to fight.

But as soon as the struggle began, the two sides were mixed together, and they couldn't recognize who was who. The leaders of both sides also reacted quickly, and shouted softly almost in unison.

"Withdraw!"

The reaction was not unpleasant, but it was too late.

With the sound of hurried footsteps at the entrance of the prison, the guards surrounded the prison of the Criminal Department.

Gao Yong, who was supposed to rest a long time ago, stood at the front, with no trace of sleepiness on his face except for the dark circles that were getting thicker and thicker.

His voice was cold.

"There are really people who dare to do this murderous thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven, in the prison of my criminal department, come and catch them all!"

At the sound of an order, the guards moved upon hearing the order.

After everyone rushed up, Gao Yong stood in place with a calm face. Zhou An walked over and said in a low voice.

"The county lord is really like a god, and there are really people who want to take the prime minister's life at this time. But depending on the situation, it seems to be two groups of people, is it ......"

"Be careful."

Gao Yong interrupted him.

"We don't know what forces are behind it, we just caught the thieves who wanted to be presumptuous in the prison of my criminal department."

Zhou Anxin comprehended.

"Understood, what to do with these people who are caught?"

Gao Yong stared in the direction of the prison door and suddenly sighed.

"Whether you can catch it or not, I can't say for sure."

After all, Zhou An is also a person who has been in the Criminal Department for so long, so of course he can hear the dangerous aura in his words.

"Is it ......?"

Before he could say a word, a guard suddenly ran out of it, walking a little frightened.

"Great, my lord, those thieves, all dead!"

Gao Yong closed his eyes slightly.

Sure enough, the people behind the scenes sent to do this kind of thing were all dead soldiers. It is impossible to get them to grab the handle.

"What now?"

"Collect the corpses first, strengthen the vigilance, and I will go back to the emperor tomorrow."
