Chapter 37: The Imperial City Zhenguowei -37
Wu Nai clearly saw from the cracks in the eyes of the iron mask that it was actually Prime Minister Lu Yunhe who came down with a torch.
Next was followed by Huaide, the chief eunuch of the imperial palace. Wu Nai wanted to see how many people they had brought down, but when Lu Yunhe slowly lit up a few lamps around him with torches, he didn't see anyone else coming down.
Huaide said a little nervously: "Prime Minister, not a single guard will be allowed in, if the thief is really here, then what should I do?"
Lu Yunhe stroked his beard and returned slowly: "Hahahahaha, Father-in-law Huaide, although they are all old bones, but compared with your sixty or more than my seventy, you can only be regarded as a descendant, right? I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Huaide sighed and returned: "Alas, I'm an old slave, and if I die, I'll die, it's nothing. But your Prime Minister is different, you are the elder of the Three Dynasties, our Holy Lord, and our Daxuan, now you can't do without you, Prime Minister. ”
Lu Yunhe smiled and returned: "Father-in-law Huaide, don't worry, I don't bring guards down, so naturally there is a reason not to bring guards." Look at it, you can see this dark pavilion at a glance, if there are really thieves, there is nothing to hide, right?"
After a few lamps were lit, the dark pavilion was as bright as day, Huaide glanced at the dark pavilion, nodded and said: "There is indeed nothing to hide here, but the secret door is indeed open, is this because you didn't close it last time?" Or is it in disrepair?"
Lu Yunhe slowly paced to the side of the stone platform, he picked up the candle that Wu Nai had just extinguished and looked at it, and replied to Huaide: "Well, the old man is also old, and some things I don't remember very clearly." ”
Wu Nai saw it so clearly, he thought to himself, he had just accidentally forgotten the candle he had put aside, it was really a secret! Sure enough, the more dangerous it was, the calmer he should be.
But Lu Yunhe quietly stuffed the candle into his arms, Wu Nai couldn't understand it, what did Lu Yunhe mean?
Then Wilder asked, "What's wrong with you, Prime Minister?"
Lu Yunhe replied with some sighs: "Well, it's nothing, the old man just hasn't seen Gaozu's royal armor for a long time." When I saw it again at this moment, I remembered my youth again. ”
Huaide said very respectfully: "That is, when Gaozu started the Northern Expedition, you, as Gaozu's friend, were the first to respond to his old man. And several times Gaozu was driven into a desperate situation by the army of the faint monarch, and it was all because of your wisdom that he was able to turn things around. ”
Lu Yunhe waved his hand: "It's old, don't mention it, don't mention it." ”
From the limited range of the mask's eyelets, Wu Nai saw that Lu Yunhe seemed to begin to observe the armor in turn.
Wu patiently prayed nervously, hoping that Bai Yu would not show his stuffing.
But after a while, Lu Yunhe walked over to him.
Lu Yunhe walked slowly to the tiger striped armor, he knocked on the armor, the armor made a muffled sound, Lu Yunhe smiled weirdly, and whispered to himself: "Hmph, in such a situation, you can still play some tricks, it is indeed witty......"
Huaide asked, "What are you talking about, Prime Minister?" ”
Lu Yunhe turned his head and smiled, and returned: "It's nothing, father-in-law doesn't have to care, I was just talking to myself just now." ”
The moment Lu Yunhe finished saying this, he suddenly turned his head back suddenly, and put his face in front of the iron mask, and his eyes emitted a cold light like winter, which went straight through the eye holes of the iron mask and penetrated into Wu Nai's eyes.
This sudden pair of cold eyes made Wu Nai almost startled. The armor moved slightly, and Lu Yunhe suddenly held down the armor with one hand, as if he was not allowed to move again.
Huaide said at this time: "Prime Minister, if there are no thieves here, then let's go quickly, the emperor is still waiting for a reply." ”
Lu Yunhe let go of his hand, moved his face back from the mask, and then turned back to Huaide: "Father-in-law Huaide, don't be busy, not busy." ”
At this time, Wu Nai breathed a sigh of relief, he was almost scared to death just now.
Wu couldn't help but think in patience: Prime Minister Lu Yunhe must have known that there was someone in this armor! But he didn't expose it, and judging from his actions just now, he was even helping us hide it. What the hell does he mean by that? He's not like a martial arts person, so he's not afraid that I'll give him a sudden call? Wait...... He didn't bring the guards down in the first place, could it be ...... The old fox had already guessed that it was us in the Dark Pavilion from the beginning, and that it was me who was in this armor?
Wu Nai was so confused when he thought of this, he really didn't know what Lu Yunhe meant now.
When Wu Nai was still struggling, he heard Huaide ask Lu Yunhe again: "Prime Minister, is there anything else you need to do here?"
Lu Yunhe replied: "It's nothing, I just want to ask Father-in-law Huaide, if the thief who disturbed the imperial city today is according to your opinion, where should it be?"
Huaide lowered his head and thought about it, and he returned as he thought: "According to the shallow view of the old slave, they didn't go to murder the emperor, and they didn't lose anything in the palace, and no one was kidnapped or killed, this should be ...... Alas, the old slave is incompetent, and he still can't guess it. ”
Lu Yunhe turned his head again at this time, and moved his gaze to the tiger striped armor again, Wu patiently scolded secretly: Old fox, you scare me again!
Lu Yunhe smiled meaningfully and said: "Yes, this is not aimed at the emperor, it is not stealing, it is not kidnapping, and no one is dead, it is just that the envoy was beaten by others, isn't it strange?"
Wu Nai only reacted at this time, the so-called thief who trespassed on the imperial city, this old fox knew who it was from the beginning. Come on, I still haven't hidden this old slippery head in the end. But he didn't debunk himself now, that is acquiescence? It's not right, he clearly warned himself that if he dares to step into the Shangwu Hall for half a step, he will be killed.
Wu Nai really couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Yunhe's gourd.
Huaide thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of a reason, so he asked: "The Prime Minister has always been a clever plan, I don't know what the Prime Minister has?"
After Wu Nai heard this, the nerves in his whole body tensed, and he deliberately suppressed his breathing, he must hear every word and every note of Lu Yunhe's next answer.
Lu Yunhe stroked his beard again, as if he was deliberately hanging people's appetites, paced around the stone platform a few times, and was so anxious that Wu Nai blushed and had a thick neck in one breath, and then he said slowly: "I guess it should be some masters of the rivers and lakes who feel unconvinced after hearing that my Daxuan master was defeated." ”
After hearing this, Wilder let out a long sigh: "No wonder! Only that Edward of the envoys was beaten!
Lu Yunhe smiled and said, "But I don't dare to assert it." He suddenly stared at the tiger striped armor again, and continued, "Perhaps, there are some reasons that I can't guess. ”
Wu patiently scolded secretly: Old fox, you scare me again!
Huaide hurriedly replied: "I think what you said is reasonable, Prime Minister, if it is not a real thief, then the problem is not so serious." In any case, as long as their purpose is not to murder the emperor, the old slave's hanging heart can also be let go. ”
Lu Yunhe returned with a smile: "Don't worry, if you want to murder Your Majesty, you won't deviate to a place as far as the Quartet Envoy's Mansion, right?"
Huaide breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew, yes, yes." Okay, Prime Minister, shall we go?"
Lu Yunhe waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so anxious, Father-in-law Huaide." Come, I have a few small questions, I don't know if it's convenient for you to answer. ”
Huaide looked puzzled, and thought to himself, is there any problem with this? But this prime minister is highly respected, and he didn't dare to ask more, but just replied: "What's convenient or inconvenient, the prime minister just asks, and the old slave knows everything." ”
Wu Nai saw that Lu Yunhe suddenly pointed to the gold box on the stone platform and asked, "Father-in-law Huaide, do you know what is in this box?"
