After a quarter of an hour, the commotion next door died down.

Mu Bai lay sleepily on the table, rubbing the purple sand teapot in front of him with his index finger.

Someone knocked on the door twice, but without looking up, he said, "Come in."

I thought it was the waiter who came to serve the food, but I saw a corner of the black clothes left on the next seat.Mu Bai looked up and saw someone's face.

He suddenly remembered that Su Mo could hear his voice downstairs from the bedroom when he settled down at the Tingyun Inn, and he found out when he wanted to order food just now.

Thinking of this, Mu Bai immediately looked away, not even willing to give him a look.

Su Mo raised his hand and poured him a cup of tea: "Why are you here?"

"Come to find a girl." Mu Baipi said with a smile, "I heard that the oiran here..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Mo laughed out loud.

Mubai squinted at him, saw him immediately coughed, lifted a short brown bottle on the table and smelled it: "Oh, it's vinegar, no wonder it smells sour."

"..." Mubai pressed his fingers so that the edge of the table creaked, "You don't accompany the girl, what are you doing here?"

"Accompany the girl..." Su Mo asked, "Didn't you see that I am alone?"

"I didn't see it." Mu Bai said in a cold voice, "Go back quickly, don't hinder the young master from eating."

The last time Su Mo heard that he called himself "Master", he was still in Qinglian Valley, and realized that Mu Bai was really angry, so he quickly pinched his fingertips to beg for mercy: "Xiaobai, are you coming with me?"

Mu Bai withdrew his finger: "No, don't touch me."

At this time, the waiter came in with a dish.

When he saw Su Mo, he was stunned for a moment, then carefully placed the dish on the table, and said, "Here comes the three fresh scallops. Young man, except for those three, there are 44 more dishes. Are you sure you want it? And told the kitchen to do it."

Before Mu Bai could make a sound, he heard Su Mo say, "Just take those three items, and don't want the rest."

"Why do you decide for me?" He called the waiter, "I want those 44 dishes."

Su Mo pressed Mu Bai: "Can you finish eating?"

"I asked a table of girls to accompany me to eat, why can't I finish eating?"

"Okay." Su Mo coaxed him softly, "Then do as you said."

After finishing speaking, he lightly said to the waiter: "This account is kept in my house."

Mu Bai slapped the heavy purse on the table: "Check out."

The waiter looked at Su Mo, and then at him. One head swelled into two.

Just at a loss, another person came from the next room, it was the greasy middle-aged man that Mubai saw just now.

He stopped at the door and asked, "Your Highness, this is..."

Just as Su Mo was about to introduce, Mu Bai spoke first: "I am the elder brother of his fierce lady."

"...Oh, so it's His Highness's brother-in-law, sorry for your disrespect."

Su Mo: "..."

Mu Bai pushed him: "Go back quickly, everyone has been found."

Su Mo stood up and went straight to the door: "Master Peng, go back first, I'll accompany him here." After speaking, he closed the door and hung the bolt.

Mu Bai suddenly had an ominous premonition: "What are you doing?"

Su Mo came back and sat down, and said in a low voice, "I mentioned to them just now that I will bring my wife to visit next time."

"Oh." Mu Bai responded, and immediately realized, "Master Peng...that was Peng Deshou just now?"

"Yeah." Su Mo said, "I'll invite the people you mentioned last time to have a meal together. They're coming here."

"...Oh." Mu Bai lowered his eyes, "I didn't let you come either."

Su Mo beckoned, Mu Bai thought he had something to say that should not be announced loudly, so he posted it: "Huh?"

Then he was kissed on the face.

Mu Bai blinked, turned to look at him, and saw Su Mo take out the black jade from his cuff, and asked with a smile, "Is this for me?"

Just as he was about to nod, he heard again: "A token of love?"

Mu Bai: "...No, I just received the reward, and I bought it after seeing how beautiful it is."

Su Mo lowered his head and carefully hid the jade back, very carefully: "I like it very much."

While speaking, he kept a very close distance, and Mu Bai could smell the faint sandalwood on his body.

Su Mo raised his eyes and stared at him for a moment, then suddenly leaned over, his eyebrows and eyes were close at hand.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door twice.

Mu Bai almost touched his lips, and when he heard the movement, he quickly backed away and slipped to the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that besides the waiter, there was also a beautiful woman with a well-groomed dish standing outside.

The waiter respectfully said: "Young man, this is Miss Liu, the oiran of our Ruanhongxuan."

Mu Bai was taken aback: "Uh, I don't seem to be called a girl?"

"Master Peng next door called for you."

Peng Deshou showed his head with a smile on his face: "Young man, everyone is a man. You have time to persuade your sister, His Royal Highness will take a concubine sooner or later, but play outside in advance, as long as her position as the concubine is secure , what's there?"

Mubai: "..."

Looking at Peng Deshou's face, he was so disgusted that he turned his eyes away.

As soon as Su Mo heard this, he knew something was wrong, and immediately walked out. Seeing Mu Bai handing over the money bag to the waiter, he said lightly: "You guys have fun."

He turned and walked away without looking back.

"Little..." Su Mo yelled half a sentence, realizing that there was an outsider, so he swallowed and planned to catch up directly.

Peng Deshou held him back: "Your Highness, look at this girl from Ruanhongxuan, is she better than Madam..."

Su Mo frowned, and shook his hand away: "Thank you."

His Royal Highness had never spoken in such a tone of gnashing of teeth, and his hands were so strong that Peng Deshou was almost thrown against the door frame.When he came back to his senses, the Fifth Prince had disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Su Mo chased out the gate of Ruanhongxuan, but did not see Mu Bai.

Mubai's talent in martial arts is extremely high. Although his Qinggong has not caught up to him, it is not far behind. If Peng Deshou didn't stop him, he might be able to catch up.

But once lost, I don't know where to look for it.

Mubai regretted it very much.

You shouldn't leave on impulse.

There are more than 40 kinds of dishes, and he hasn't even touched a bite. Now he is walking on the street hungry, feeling a little wronged for no reason.

He kicked the stones on the road and said to himself: "The prince is amazing, does the prince have three thousand beauties in the harem..."

After babbling a few words, he suddenly fell silent.

Mu Bai recalled the original text, not to mention that Su Mo never accepted a concubine even after he became emperor, not to mention that he was a prince, and died by himself at a young age.

Thinking about it this way, it seems a bit miserable.

He lowered his eyelids, turned a corner, and walked towards the Prince's Mansion.

Su Mo didn't know where to find someone, anyway, when Mu Bai returned to the Prince's Mansion, he only saw Jin Yi and Ye Xing.

It stands to reason that the two personal servants should take turns to rest, but Su Mo took their vacation together, and now they are sitting in the shade of a tree in the backyard to enjoy the cool.

Mu Bai avoids their sight, sneaks into the bedroom, sits at the table and writes a note, roughly explaining that it is difficult to receive a new reward order, and he will come back after a while.

He put down his pen, looked around, and stuffed the note under Su Mo's pillow, revealing a corner.

Then he took two pieces of clothes, slipped into the kitchen, grabbed a bun and left.

When climbing over the courtyard wall, he picked up another handful of flowers that had been blown off the wall by the wind and put them into his bosom.

The famous ministers listed on the reward order all lived in the imperial capital. Except for Peng Deshou, the residences of the others were not well-guarded. There were two low-ranking officials, and there was not even a gatekeeper at night.Mu Bai sneaked in to finish the work, left flowers, and then rushed to Baihe Station overnight.

Baihe Station is adjacent to Liesha Island and Guixu Mausoleum, and it is also the only place to go from the imperial capital to Pianyu Temple.

He traveled all night, and as soon as he entered the post station, he first picked up a table and sat down, pouring himself a bowl of tea.

Then his eyes fell to the three monks at the next table.

Although Lingyun Palace is jokingly called the Monk's Palace, it's the first time Mu Bai has seen the real monk here.

They wore long gray gowns, their foreheads were as smooth as boiled eggs, and a string of Buddhist beads hung around their necks.

One was fat, one was thin, and there was a young monk. The three of them sat around the table, eating white steamed buns and talking.The fat monk asked: "Brother, don't Master and Master Ting Yu dislike each other...Why did you send us to help Pian Yu investigate the murderer?"

The skinny monk said: "The red lotus haunts Wuti frequently, even if we don't deal with the three major factions of Wuti on weekdays, we have to twist into a rope at this time."

The little monk interjected with a smile: "I can see Junior Sister Tinglan again."

The skinny monk knocked a steamed bun on his head: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you miss the little Taoist nun in the human view."

After listening to them chatting for a while, Mubai understood that these three monks had the same purpose as his own.

He hesitated for a moment, got up and walked to the next table: "Excuse me, are you going to Pianyu Temple?"

The monks were all taken aback, and the skinny monk asked vigilantly: "The young man asked about this, is it..."

Mu Bai immediately said: "I happen to be going there, and I just heard you mention that if you drop by, you might as well go with me, and I will take care of you."

The three looked at each other: "I don't know what the young man is doing when he goes to Pianyu Guan?"

"A friend of mine has been unable to be contacted recently. He was still in Pianyuguan when he sent a message for the last time, so I wanted to look for it."

"Oh, that's how it is..." The skinny monk lowered his eyes.

The little monk held up the steamed bun and said, "Pianyu Guan lost a dozen people a while ago, your friend may be..."

Before he finished speaking, his brain collapsed: "You can't hold back your mouth!"

The little monk covered his head, aggrieved and silent.

The skinny monk withdrew his hand, and apologized to Mu Bai embarrassedly: "The child speaks innocently, please don't take it to heart."

Mu Bai hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No problem."

The skinny monk thought for a while, and then said: "It takes a day and a night to get to Pianyu Temple. It's a long way. We plan to rest at the post station for one night, and then start the road tomorrow morning. If you don't mind, young hero, you can go with us."

"Okay." Mu Bai chatted with him for two or three words, and decided to meet downstairs early in the morning, and then went back to his table.

The fat monk stared at his back for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Brother, this person's origin is unknown, could he..."

"I don't think he looks like a bad guy."

The little monk giggled and said, "In the eyes of senior brother, good-looking people are not bad people."

Mubai's ear pinna moved slightly, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile.

He didn't sleep all night. Although he drank two bowls of tea, he still couldn't resist the drowsiness, so he asked the shopkeeper for a room and went upstairs to rest.

In the morning of the second day, after Mubai had washed up and went downstairs to eat breakfast refreshed, Su Mo was sitting in the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, holding up the Jianghu post newspaper to read the latest headlines: "Treading snow haunted Wuyi country, sneaked into the country overnight" The residence of the two ministers...
