Lu Bu and the others followed behind Zhao Pet and entered the county hall.

Almost all of them had their heads bowed.

Lu Bu couldn't see what kind of person the second prince sitting on it was, but it could be concluded from his voice that he was not very old.

Sure enough, when the second prince asked everyone to get up, Lu Bu saw clearly that he was actually only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and his face was full of childishness.

The man behind him was not very old, and he kept an eye on them as they knelt down, as if he was afraid that someone would suddenly jump up and assassinate.

Zhao Pet's father Zhao Ji is the uncle of Emperor Renzong, and Zhao Pet is naturally a generation older than these two princes, Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi is also very well-behaved, calling out "Little Uncle Huang" one by one.

Zhao Chong didn't dare to call him the emperor's nephew to his face.

"Why is the second prince dressed like this?" Seeing that Zhao Qi was completely dressed as an ordinary person, Zhao Pet asked.

"My father doesn't allow me to be too public, let alone alarm the local government, if it weren't for the father-in-law, this prince would not have thought of going to the little emperor's house to live." The second prince replied.

The person who was called Yu Gonggong, that is, the person standing behind Zhao Qi, came over at this time and said to Zhao Chong, "The little palace master doesn't know, long live the slave to follow the second prince to come to the province this time, and the slave is deeply afraid of loss, so he doesn't dare to be careless." I also hope that the little palace master will understand the minions' painstaking efforts and not expose the identity of the second prince. ”

Only then did Lu Bu know that this father-in-law was a eunuch in the palace.

However, Lu Bu's eyes were on his father-in-law's hand for a long time, and he felt that this eunuch was by no means an idle person.

"Knowing that the little palace master came from afar, the lower official has ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and invited the second prince and the little palace master to sit down." The county commander Wei Tu interjected.

The lobby of this county government is really shabby enough, except for the plaque that "Mirror Hanging" is still complete, there is almost nothing that is not damaged.

Under such conditions, what good things will there be to entertain the second prince and the little palace master?

Sure enough, except for a few plates of beef, the rest of the wine and food were really unappetizing.

The little palace master Zhao Pet even spit out the wine that had just been drunk in his mouth.

"How can such a bad wine entertain the second prince, does Wei County Order mean this?" Zhao Pet slapped the table hard and shouted.

Wei Tu hurriedly knelt down.

"It's no wonder that Wei County ordered this matter." Father-in-law Yu on the side hurriedly said, "Little palace master doesn't know, Qingliu County has always been under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou Prefecture, and Fei Shi has to loot some silver taels from here every year." If it weren't for the fact that the slave accompanied the second prince here, he wouldn't have known that the officials here were so hard. ”

"I see." Zhao Pet pretended to be surprised, and thought for a while, "It's just that this wine and food are really hard to swallow, so it's better for the palace master to take the second prince out and pick out some flavored snacks here, and it is not in vain for the second prince to come here." ”

Zhao Qi was young, so he was naturally very happy, slapped him hard, and said, "Okay, this prince has been here for many days, and Wei County Ling and Father-in-law Yu refuse to let me out. ”

"The second prince can't." Father-in-law Yu and Wei Tu said almost at the same time.

"Why not?" Without waiting for Zhao Qi to speak, Zhao Pet had already interrupted the two of them and said, "It is difficult for my imperial nephew to leave the palace once, and he dresses like this, and your little Qingliu County is not a place where bandits are rampant." If there is a mistake, this palace master will bear it, and it has nothing to do with you and others. ”

Wei Tu and Yu Gonggong's faces turned green.

"Little Palace Master really can't be like this." Father-in-law Yu stood in front of the second prince, "The slave is ordered to protect the safety of the second prince, and he will never dare to disobey the holy order, and please take pity on the slave and not go out easily." ”

Zhao Chong knew that this eunuch named Yu Lun was the chief eunuch in the palace and a person who was deeply trusted by the emperor, otherwise he would not entrust the safety of these two princes to him.

Seeing that he insisted on objecting, Zhao Pet didn't dare to say anything deeply, so he looked at Zhao Qi.

"Although Father-in-law Yu is very hard-working, this prince has been here for a few days, and he can't see the outside for a day, which is really depressing. Today, I will go out with Uncle Xiaohuang, and I will leave early tomorrow morning, and I will not stay for a moment. Zhao Qi was probably really anxious and said.

"If the second prince doesn't listen to the slave's advice and insists on going out, the slave has no choice but to ask Banzai for guilt after returning to the palace." This is not easy to mess with the father-in-law, and he moved out of the emperor.

Zhao Qi still didn't think so.

"My father is far away in the capital, even if he knows about it in the future, how can he bear to punish me? You wait and wait here, and I'll go back with Uncle Xiaohuang. As he spoke, he took Zhao Pet's hand and walked outside.

The crowd no longer dared to stop them, so they had to follow behind.

The streets of Qingliu County are naturally not as lively as those of Chuzhou Mansion, although there are not many pedestrians, and most of them are full of vegetables, but they must be much better than the tattered county government.

This Zhao Qi is in the palace on weekdays, and it is rare to see such a scene, which is very novel to many things.

I don't know if it was Zhao Chong's idea, or if the two princes deliberately wanted to avoid everyone, and they didn't go far, but the two of them actually got into an alley.

Everyone had no choice but to wait outside.

Father-in-law Yu stared at the short halberd on Lu Bu's waist, and then turned to look at Lu Bu, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know why, and he didn't say it.

After a long time, Wei Tu finally couldn't stand it anymore and looked at the two officials behind him.

"You two can go inside and have a look, as long as the second prince and the little palace master are safe, don't disturb them."

"The villain obeys." The two of them agreed to walk into the alley.

It didn't take long for the two of them to run out of the alley as if they had suddenly met a man-eating beast.

"My lord, the second prince and the little palace master are gone."

Before the two of them could finish speaking, Lu Bu had already jumped into the alley.

The alley is deep and narrow, long and like an underground road, with no shops on either side, only a high courtyard wall.

Seeing such an environment, Lu Bu immediately realized that the two of them were in danger.

Sure enough, I followed the alley until the end, and I didn't see the shadow of the two.

Father-in-law Yu, who was beside him, grabbed Wei Tu.

"Why don't you quickly call the others from the county government to look for it? If something happens to the second prince, my father-in-law wants you, the whole county, to die. ”

Wei Tu's cold sweat was already running down his cheeks.

"Quickly go back to the county government and call someone."

Lu Bu didn't want to wait for the people from the county government to come and look for him, he walked along the side of the alley, carefully distinguishing, trying to find the specific location of the two missing.

He stopped as he reached the middle of the alley, and then, looking along a high wall beside him.

On top of the high wall, two green bricks fell off.

With a halberd in one hand, Lu Bu jumped on the wall, only to find that this was a place that had been uninhabited for a long time, and dense weeds had grown in the corners of the yard.

Quickly passing through the courtyard, Lu Bu came to the front of the courtyard wall at the back, where there was a gap that led to a street behind.

There were footsteps behind him, and the father-in-law named Yu Lun had actually climbed over the courtyard wall and came behind Lu Bu.

Lu Bu glanced at him, and a very unusual feeling welled up in his heart for no reason.
