Jun Li couldn't and sighed. "www.biquge.info It's hard to hide this matter. We should have returned to Beijing a few days earlier, and Suzaku may have heard about it. Even if Mo Wei didn't know who was attacking you, Suzaku would soon have to meet with Ling Daxia - if he asked, Ling Daxia didn't need to hide it. ”

"I know all of that, but I still ...... I still hope that I don't appeal to Suzaku in person. ”

Jun Li was silent for a while. "Well, I promise you, as long as he doesn't ask, I won't mention it. But if he knows the truth in the future, I won't deny it. ”

Okra nodded.

"Feng Ming hasn't asked about Lou Qianshan in the past few days since he woke up, I guess he probably already knows......"

"Can you not mention Shen Fengming. Okra interrupted him sullenly, "Let's say something else." ”

Jun Li looked at her sideways, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Has Feng Ming told you about his life experience?"

Okra glanced at him, "Still mentioning him?"

"I'm trying to confirm one thing. He was a little drunk that day, and he had a lot to say to you, and I wonder if he mentioned it. ”

"What do you want to be sure?"

"So, he did talk about it?"

He ...... When he was still poisonous, he told me a little about his life, but that day he came to my door and said that the day before he had only thought that he was going to die, and that he was in an abnormal mind, so he told me that. He said that he had never mentioned those things to anyone, and that I had never heard of them, and that he was talking nonsense. ”

Jun Li's heart sank and frowned, "Is he from Luoyang, and is his father's name Shen Yong?"

Okra was startled, and subconsciously looked at him, not knowing what to do.

Jun Li already understood, and said softly, "You don't have to answer me, just treat it as ...... I didn't ask. ”

－－－－

The eaves of the Suzaku Mansion block out the sun's rays from the west. At dusk, a few wisps of autumn wind leaked in from a high place, Yiyi, who had just come out of the house, subconsciously gathered the placket of the neckline, and a maid who knew how to read words and colors held a soft scarf at the right time.

She took it and took a few steps outside. The news of Jun Li's entry into the inner city had been in the mansion for a while, and she guessed that the Suzaku in the Chonghua Palace would also come back immediately after hearing the news. I don't know when the name Jun Li has become a balance between the various parties in the inner city - because of the existence of Jun Li, the assassination of the three superintendent Yu Shi Xia Zheng was finally attempted, and the crown prince regarded it as a failure and King Gong regarded it as a success. Ever since they heard that this Taoist priest had appeared intact in the Dongting Three Branches Meeting, thousands of miles away, they had been waiting for him for a long time.

Jun Li deliberately walked slowly, and only in the last section of the road did he speed up slightly, and galloped with okra to the vicinity of the Suzaku Mansion. Sure enough, Suzaku has returned, and the crown prince and King Gong have sent people to visit. The people of the prince's faction are lost. He was half entrusted by the crown prince, and half also to inquire about the follow-up news of the Netherworld, first met with Suzaku and talked for a while, and at this time saw that okra returned safe and sound, Jun Li also looked as usual, surprised and suspicious in his heart, but it was not easy to say it clearly, and left after a little greeting; King Gong sent two personal attendants, on the grounds of Jun Li's return, and wanted to invite Suzaku and others to the palace for today's dinner.

The two dismounted and went straight into the inner courtyard. Although Jun Li and Suzaku had met outside the Qinglong Valley before, they had really been separated from Yiyi and the others in this mansion for a long time, thinking of the scene of leaving that day, the months were really like a world away.

For some reason, Yiyi's expression seems to be a little unnatural, even though the excitement in the heart of the reunion after a long absence is definitely true, but there is always a vague state of preoccupation, which makes this joy lose a little. Suzaku looked as usual, and only after the two of them had seen it according to the ceremony, did he say, "It's hard to hurry, why don't you go and rest for a while." Now that I'm back, there's no need to rush anything. ”

His skin was originally black, so he couldn't see the depth of his complexion, but from the tone of his voice, he seemed to be a little tired. Jun Li hesitated in his heart, and then he didn't stand up, and said, "Master, I heard about it before...... I heard that Song Ke had made a sneak attack on you, Master...... Didn't get hurt, did you?"

"Heh, even if you still have a little heart, you can remember to ask about it. I just said--You haven't been back for a long time, and you haven't taken my master's life or death to heart at all. ”

"What the hell is Master ......?"

Suzaku sneered. "Just a Song guest, you can't do anything to me. ”

Jun Li relieved himself, "Master is fine." After thinking about it for a while, he decided to mention it earlier, "That, Ling Daxia asked me to bring a message here, I want to meet with Master, it's about ...... The matter of the Black Bamboo Society. ”

Suzaku didn't look surprised, and sighed slightly: "Old man, even if there is nothing to do, it should be seen." When and where does he want to be?"

He asked Master if he would have time to meet on the lake two days later, on the afternoon of the 19th. ”

"If he wants to see Lord Zhu, he should come to visit respectfully, why do you want Lord Zhu to move around?" Yiyi's tone was a little different from the hurriness of the past.

Ling Daxia guessed that the master didn't like outsiders to enter the mansion, so he proposed to meet outside. If Master doesn't want to go out, then it's okay to invite him to come. ”

"No, as he said. Suzaku said, "It's just ...... It is advisable to change the hour to night. ”

Jun Li agreed, a little hesitant in his heart. Suzaku really doesn't like to see outsiders during the day, but this matter is not absolute, especially since Ling Li and him are old people, so there is no need to change it at night, unless--he thinks that between Ling Li and Ling Li, the meaning of the estrangement is still greater than the old meaning.

"Then I'll go out and tell Ling Daxia about it. Jun Li was about to leave.

"Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to go tomorrow. Suzaku said, "You can rest for a while, and then come out." The people from Prince Gong's Mansion are still waiting. ”

"Are you really going to King Gong's banquet?" Yiyi couldn't help but ask.

Suzaku glanced at her, although her eyes were faint, Yiyi immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to say more.

－－－－

There are not many people invited to Prince Gong's mansion this time, but it is a private banquet, which clearly shows the meaning of enveloping. Suzaku came, but he never refused.

Jun Li is still a little wary of King Gong. He knew that in Xia Zheng's matter, King Gong had never come forward, but he had just taken advantage of the conflict between himself and the prince's people to weaken the prince's momentum, and now he was just taking advantage of the situation, but he was by no means trustworthy.

Suzaku brought Yiyi, but asked okra to stay in the mansion and did not let her come with her, so that King Gong and Princess Gong sat on the main seat, Suzaku and Yiyi sat together, and Jun Li could only live alone on the other side.

However, there was still an empty seat left beside him. Jun Li was a little curious, and quietly asked the servant standing behind him, "Is anyone else coming?"

The servant said respectfully: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Yi will be here in a short time." ”

"King Yi?" Jun Li was suspicious. He never knew that there was a prince, a king of Qing, a king of Gong, and a king of Yi. Suzaku never mentioned to himself that there was such a number one person in the palace at that time.

"Yes," the servant replied, "His Royal Highness King Yi also specially said, I haven't seen Daoist Jun Li for a long time, and I will definitely take this opportunity to talk with Daoist Chief, so I will set up the seats of the two of you at the same table." ”

"He wants to talk to me at the same table?" Jun Li's mind turned and he had an epiphany: "Cheng Ping?"

The servant bowed his head and didn't dare to respond, obviously the name "Cheng Ping" no longer met the rules of the title, but he also acquiesced to Jun Li's guess.

"When did he become king?" Jun Li still asked. "He-"

Before the words fell, a loud voice had been heard outside, and King Yi had arrived.

King Yi's position is the same as that of King Gong, and when he came, King Gong had to stand up to greet him. Cheng Ping was wearing civilian clothes, but the pomp and circumstance were different, and when he arrived at the banquet, he confessed to everyone and saw him, but he was not restrained, and when he saw Jun Li, he went to sit down beside him happily, and all the attendants followed.

Seeing this, Jun Li lowered his voice and smiled: "Isn't it inappropriate to want His Royal Highness King Yi to sit at the same table with me?"

"Don't laugh at me, Dao Chief. Cheng Ping shook his hand again and again, then retreated left and right, and said: "I can't help it, I haven't seen the Taoist for so long, I'm really worried, I heard that you are back, King Gong invites you, how can I not come." ”

"When did you become king?"

"Just this month. Cheng Ping said, "I think there are many people who mentioned it to the emperor, saying that it is inappropriate for me not to change my surname, so the emperor ordered me to officially change my surname to Zhao, named King Yi, and gave me a mansion, so I don't have to live in Chonghua Palace." ”

Jun Li snorted, knowing in his heart that the more Cheng Ping was sealed, the less likely it was to leave this imperial city.

"How are you doing?" he asked again.

"It's summer this time, there's nothing to do, I see that Master Zhu is very busy, so I don't have to bother more. Cheng Ping said. In fact, it is not a secret that he is not in good health in the palace, after sealing the king of Yi, he received a lot of rare medicinal materials, and there is no shortage of imperial doctors.

Jun Li glanced at King Gong in the main seat, and still whispered, "You shouldn't have come to this banquet." ”

"Why?" Cheng Ping said, "I heard that you are here, so I naturally want to come." ”

"This is the reason why King Gong deceived you. Jun Li said, "Now everyone knows that King Yi was invited to King Gong's private banquet, and you will not have a good time with the prince in the future." ”

"The Taoist chief is too worried, I have only been crowned king for a few days, I have no background to rely on, I have no real power, and I have no one in my hands, but I am dispensable. ”

"But you have Suzaku. Jun Li looked at the top. Originally, he didn't understand the interests and stakes of all parties in this palace, and he didn't want to understand it, but since Xia Zheng was expelled from the capital by Ming Sheng, he began to understand what Suzaku said - if you can't see some things clearly and can't be sober, you can only be used and deceived by others, not only can you not protect others, but you can't even protect yourself. He is not stupid, since he is careful, he naturally knows the inner joints - King Gong knows that Suzaku is not a person who comes and goes when he calls, but if he wins over King Xinyi, then Suzaku should give him some face. After all, Cheng Ping was brought back by Suzaku, and he was also one of the people closest to Suzaku in this inner city.
