Through the palace of the king of subjugation

As the night darkened, the white gull took advantage of the darkness to touch the edge of the camp.

Thanks to the blessing of defeating the Beiyin warriors last time, he can be considered a celebrity in the palace; after staying for so long, although he doesn't like to get too involved with those who are destined to be strangers to him in the future, he is more or less confused. Familiar.

Before, the little palace maids often saw him running away blushing.

They all regarded him as an important official placed by the empress dowager next to Li Yu, and also a hero of Shang Ning. He encountered no obstacles along the way until he touched the side door of the camp...

Because of the assassination of the emperor, the inside of the hunting camp was in chaos; also because of the assassination of the emperor, the camp was heavily guarded, and the number of patrolling guards doubled compared to the past.

He is also a member of the Habayashi Army himself, and he had paid special attention to the schedule of the guards on duty before. He thought he could sneak out when the second shift changed defenses; now it seems that the chance is not great.

"It's over!" Bai Ou slapped his forehead, thinking that his luck might run out.

Before, he was able to run around in the camp relying on his special status, and everyone didn't have time to pay attention to him. Occasionally, someone didn't dare to talk too much when he noticed; but now, he still has to go outside under such circumstances, and he is always a little talkative. It doesn't work...

"Hey! Master Ji-"

Bai Gu was in the middle of nowhere, but suddenly he heard someone behind him calling him; when he turned around, he saw his colleague in the palace, the captain of the Habayashi Army's left and right gate guards, whose rank was higher than him.

"Why are you here?"

why am i here

Bai Gu raised his eyebrows.

It's not easy to say...

"You made your first contribution again today! Are you not seriously injured?" The other party leaned closer and said with concern on his face: "Master Zhiji has made outstanding achievements many times, and has been appreciated by the Empress Dowager, and he will be promoted step by step in the future—— "

Why is this flattering tone so familiar?

When Bai Ou heard this, he understood completely, and there was another "high servant" in front of him.

Sure enough, in order to show his closeness, the other party came up and hugged Bai Ou's shoulders, and said with a flattering smile: "When the time comes, don't forget brother!"

Bai Gu turned his head and glanced at this "brother" whom he couldn't even call by his full name.

The other party was half his head shorter than him, and the action of forcibly hooking his shoulders and back with his feet on the pads looked a little funny. This action made Bai Guu uncomfortable, so he could only reluctantly return the other party's dry smirk.

"Master Holding the Halberd." The man seemed to poke his eyes, turning a blind eye to the pitiful truth in the white gull's smile, and felt that he had already gotten close to it, and leaned closer to the white gull's ear, "You came here late at night. , shouldn't it be—"

"Want to leave the hunting camp?"

"Tsk—" Bai Gu couldn't help but rolled his eyes in his heart.

Even this fool can see it?so obvious?

"My lord, what are you going to do?"

"I—" Bai Guu tried his best to maintain that shriveled smirk on his face, and he almost cursed in his heart.

What kind of species is the other party? One hundred thousand why?Why are there so many questions?

The most important thing is, this matter, how to say...

"How about—" White Gull twitched the corner of his mouth, "Guess?"

"Could it be..." The other party rubbed his chin and pondered, "I'm in a hurry to go back to the palace to report to the Empress Dowager?"

It turns out that fools are sometimes smart!

White Gull hastily nodded meaningfully.

"The last general understands!" The man let go of his hand, and even saluted the white gull whose rank was lower than his own, "The last general will make arrangements now, Master Jiji later!"

The white gull saw that the hunting camp was in a panic, and it was a good time to escape, but he didn't expect everything to be so simple.

It seems that my luck has not run out yet!

No matter whether it is a magnificent and exquisite palace, or a magnificent and exquisite king's tent, in the eyes of Bai Gu, they are just a cage with a different style.

The gulls have already flapped their wings, but the Qianlong is still in the abyss.

"Chen Yu!" Li Yu sat in the exquisite red sandalwood armchair, leaning forward with his hands tightly clutching the armrests of the armchair.

His voice was very low, but he couldn't suppress the trembling in extreme forbearance, "Did you know? Xiao Wu is dead!"

"Of course the old minister knows." Chen Yu bowed and saluted, "However, your Majesty can rest assured that the news of the emperor's assassination has not yet spread to Jiangning. The old minister was careful that no one would see him."

"That's not what I want to say!" Li Yu clenched his fist with his right hand and hammered it on the armchair.

The candlelight was very dim, against his equally gloomy face.

"Xiao Wu is dead... that's a life!" He gritted his teeth and said, "You didn't tell me that way back then! You said, said..."

Chen Yu sent someone to pretend to assassinate Yu Jia to create confusion, so he could take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the hunting camp, avoid Zhou Zheling's eyeliner, and meet Li Yu in secret.

"But you only said you wanted Xiaowu to hijack me and create chaos, but you didn't say..."

Didn't say he was going to die.

"Little five failed, that's the price he should pay." Chen Yu said in a deep voice, "Besides, Your Majesty, the person who suddenly appeared, that white gull, belongs to the Empress Dowager, isn't it?"

"I don't know..." Li Yu said with downcast eyes, his eyes were still scarlet, blood dripping from the forearm of the white gull, "Maybe, maybe he just wanted to save me..."

As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of the white gull's blood that had flowed all over his face at that time.

Shake off that scorching heat.

"But Xiao Wu hides poison under his tongue—" When he raised his eyes to stare at Chen Yu again, his eyes were already serious, "Regardless of whether there is a white gull or not, you never thought about letting Xiao Wu live."

"Xiao Wu has been ready to sacrifice his life for the people and His Majesty at any time since he became a soldier under the disciple of the minister. His life alone may save tens of thousands of people in Wujun and Lin'an. He deserves his death."

"Your Majesty—" Chen Yu took a step forward as he spoke, and bowed deeply to Li Yu, "As a king, you must avoid the benevolence of women!"

Li Yu hugged his head in pain.

He is only 17 years old, and he doesn't understand why sometimes the "life" of a group of people must be exchanged for the "death" of one person.

Obviously, no one is more innocent than the other.

But Chen Jin was his father's emperor's teacher when he was there. He quoted scriptures and debated deeply, but he may not be Chen Jin's opponent.

He couldn't convince the other party, besides...

Chen Yu was also the only one among the three Gu Ming ministers left to him by his father who did not have the "surname Zhou".

He has no one to rely on, no choice.

Xiao Wu is already dead, and there is no chance of winning and no point in arguing with Chen Jin; the only thing he can do is to make Xiao Wu's death a truly so-called "deserving death".

He took a long breath and looked up, "Then you planned all this this time, but because of the matter I asked you to inquire about last time, you have a clue?"

"You could say the same thing, but—"

Chen Yu was talking, but suddenly someone opened the curtain and entered Wang's tent. He turned his head in horror, and then immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Wu didn't come here to assassinate Li Yu. His subordinates were different. Xiao Yao just hit his head slightly before and passed out.After waking up, he has been busy taking care of the little emperor. When Chen Jin came, he has been keeping watch outside the king's tent.

"Xiao Yao?" Li Yu looked worried.

Although Xiao Yao is not very old, he has always been prudent in handling affairs. He asked the other party to guard outside the tent, and Xiao Yao would not barge in if there was no serious matter.

"are you uncomfortable?"

Xiao Yao shook his head and knelt down to salute Li Yu and Chen Yu, "Your Majesty, just now Lord Chen sent the disciples who followed Mr. Ji Ji to reply, saying, he searched all over the hunting camp, but he did not find any trace of Mr. Ji Ji. .”

Li Yu turned his head when he heard this, and stared at Chen Yu who was beside him, "You send someone to follow him?"
