The visitor nodded slightly at Xiao Beicheng and smiled politely. The latter was a little surprised to see him, "Mr. Li?"

Could it be that this is Da Yuan's prime minister?

Li Ying glanced at Junziyou, without saying a word, walked to the upper seat with ease, and sat beside Xiao Beicheng, seeing his injury, feeling quite sorry.

"I've heard everything. Compared with why you appeared in Nanfeng Pavilion, I'm more interested in why you left a burden by your side. This is not your nature."

Jun Ziyou was not happy after hearing this, he lowered his face and looked at the young prime minister, guessing that he hadn't stood up yet, so young and aggressive, he will definitely suffer in the future!

Xiao Beicheng's reaction was indifferent, he ordered Shen Ci to retreat to his side, cleverly blocked the cup on the seat where Junzi You was sitting just now, and concealed the evidence without a trace.

However, Li Ying is also a smart person, if he is not aware of this detail, he will be the prime minister of a country in vain.

"My lord, you don't need to see outsiders. Since you rejected the Marquis of Ding'an's Mansion and chose to be close to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it means that we can still cooperate, doesn't it?"

"Oh? What did Xiangye mean by that? I've made you confused."

"My lord is smart all his life but confused for a while. If I were you, I wouldn't go to Gusu on the cusp of this crisis and bring back a useless scholar. What Jinwang's mansion needs most now is someone like Shenci who can wield swords and wield swords." A capable person, not a waste who can only play tricks and write and draw some indecent things."

These words were too hurtful, Jun Ziyou couldn't kneel anymore, he just endured the pain and stood up, looking directly at the imposing Li Ying.

"If Xiangye slanders me because of my incompetence, then you don't have to. I have no intention of competing with Xiangye, and I don't want to cause trouble in the capital. I won't be your stumbling block. Please take back what you just said .”

His reaction was unexpected by everyone, Xiao Beicheng angrily knocked on the corner of the table, "Presumptuous! Whoever allowed you to get up, kneel back!"

Seeing that the injury on his arm was caused by himself, and he really felt guilty, Jun Ziyou said "Oh" reluctantly, then knelt back to his original position, pouted like a doormat.

If he hadn't seen Xiao Hei rolling at Xiao Beicheng's feet at this moment, fearing that that person would anger his pet, he wouldn't have to pretend to be this grandson.

"Competition? Do you know what you're talking about?"

Seeing that Li Ying squinted his eyes to get to the bottom of it, Xiao Beicheng had no choice but to sacrifice the magic weapon he had prepared for the future in order to save Junziyou from the siege.

"Shen Ci, go and get the things that this king has scoured."

I have to appease Li Ying, let alone make Junziyou's situation too embarrassing, and King Jin is also very difficult...

"I also ask Li Xiang to look at the fact that this king went to Gusu and didn't return empty-handed, not only caused trouble, but also brought gifts, please calm down."

From Shenci's side, the brocade box was brought up, and when the lid was lifted, the red silk was lined with a transparent and flawless sheep fat jade wrench finger, which seemed to be a high-quality item.

Seeing this little gadget, most of Li Ying's anger subsided, he picked it up and played with it for a while, then he was reluctant to let it go.

"My lord is also interested. Knowing that I love these jade articles, I really bothered to find them."

"That's natural. Mr. Xiang looks at the texture and texture, which are rare and high-grade in the world. If you really like it, then let him go this time. This king will definitely discipline his subordinates strictly and will never touch Mr. Xiang again. Mold, what do you think?"

"Forget it, I don't have any enmity with him at all, I only care about the prince's situation so I will talk about it. I am presumptuous, and I ask the prince to forgive me."

"Where is Xiangye?"

"I came to care about the prince, but I accepted the gift from the prince. It's really putting the cart before the horse, but this thing..."

"It's okay to be loved by Xiangye, it's just as a personal relationship between my king and Xiangye, so it's okay."

"Then I would like to thank the prince for his generous gift. It's getting late, and I should retire."

The two went back and forth several times before Li Ying got up to leave.

After ordering Shenci to see off the guests, Xiao Beicheng looked a little tired, and waved the gentleman to swim up. When he recovered, he let him accompany him to the Yonghe Tower, which was the courtyard where the prince slept.

"It's late at night, it seems that that one will not show up today. It's fine if you don't come, it will be quiet."

There were not many domestic servants serving in Prince Jin's mansion, and it was even quieter at night. Jun Ziyou walked slowly behind Xiao Beicheng, not talking much, but the latter opened his mouth curiously: "Why, still because of Li Are you angry?"

"How dare I, he is the prime minister of a country, we have to accept whatever we say. I was wondering why the prince gave a rare treasure to the prime minister. You don't seem to be so stupid as to jump into a pit by yourself .”

He said this to show that he saw through Xiao Beicheng's intentions, but the latter still pretended to be stupid, "What do you mean?"

"It's the ring finger. The origin is not simple. Although I haven't seen the details with my own eyes, in addition to the jade itself, the engraving pattern and the craftsman's technique are also important factors that determine its value. From the expression of the prime minister, you can guess the finger ring. It must be unusual, and it should be a hot item, but you found it for him according to his preferences, and there are no more than two reasons for him to accept it."

"What two o'clock?"

"Affection, and love."

Junziyou hit the nail on the head, and summed it up very well, causing Xiao Beicheng to stop and look back at his incomparably serious expression at the moment.

"What is the difference."

"The former can be used or cooperated, but the latter is a genuine feeling from the bottom of my heart, which cannot be pretended."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Beicheng smiled and said: "Sure enough, you are the gentleman who has written romantic affairs. You are so eloquent that even this king will be entangled by you. But you have to remember that the affairs in the court have nothing to do with love, but blood relationship. Even if you can turn your face and deny it, there is nothing more hypocritical than feelings in the world."

"But my lord, you are also using the prime minister, aren't you?"

"As you said, cooperation is to use each other willingly. It is true that this king wants to use his hands to achieve his own goals, but he did not refuse or struggle. What you love and what I want is not considered my king. ruthless."

"Will I, who was used by the prince, become an abandoned son one day and be abandoned by you?"

"meeting."

Xiao Beicheng was quite calm, he didn't have rhetoric or coercion, he just stated the facts.

"But this king sincerely hopes that there will never be that day. Human nature is cruel and ruthless, and all promises are illusory. In the face of selfishness and greed, they are fragile and vulnerable. This king is a realistic person, and I will not give you a promise to make people laugh. , I hope you can also live a little more soberly, and choose the most suitable path for yourself to survive."

Having said that, he picked up the cigarette again, and looked at Jun Ziyou's hands, which were thickened by the bandages.

"The king said that he will give you three months, and he is not in a hurry to get an answer. You have enough time to think about it, and now you can go back and rest."

"Wait a minute, my lord, I still have something to ask."

Seeing Xiao Beicheng turn around, Junziyou grabbed his hand impulsively, then noticed that his actions were inappropriate, and quickly shrank back, with a serious expression and a little embarrassment.

"Maybe it's a bit presumptuous...but the prince and I are in trouble together, I think I can say a thing or two about the actor?"

"The assassin?"

"I have a few questions that I would like to ask myself, and I would like to ask the prince to give me a chance."

"Forget it, you have this king's badge in your hand, so you can say that you are already a member of Prince Jin's mansion, so you can do whatever you want, as long as you are careful. This king is tired, so you go down first."

Gentleman You bowed his hands respectfully, until Xiao Beicheng entered the door, then turned and left the courtyard, completely unaware that his actions were watched by the people hiding in the pavilion.

Xiao Beicheng was not at all surprised by Steward Liu's appearance. After closing the door, he held up the lamp very naturally, allowing the man to hold up his injured arm, wash and change his clothes, and casually said, "How about this man? Are you satisfied?"

"He is a person who can be reused, but there are too many uncertain factors in him, and it will take some time to observe. What the prince wants is a helper who can help you, not a scourge that will cause you trouble and shorten your life. I advise the prince not to rush to make plans."

"Naturally. The king is very curious about his choice, so you don't want to see him who is interesting, can he give us an answer that surprises us?"

Steward Liu narrowed his eyes, leaned over and took off Xiao Beicheng's boots, and said in a muffled voice, "I think the real surprise is the choice he made that wouldn't surprise anyone."

Junziyou, who left Yonghe Tower, went to the dungeon of Wangfu without even thinking about it, and took a basin of hot water thoughtfully. Sure enough, before the assassin could get rid of his face, he was hung on the torture rack and couldn't move. The heavy make-up looked terrific in the dim light.

The guard guarding the dungeon was sent outside by Jun Ziyou, and he and the assassin were left in the cell. He soaked a soft cloth in hot water to wipe the assassin's face, and the extremely vigilant opponent immediately raised his eyes and stared at him. , The eyes are like sharp knives that can hurt people.

"Don't look at me like that. My hands are also injured. It hurts when I touch the water. Don't bite. Be careful and I will cry for you."

No matter how reluctant the assassin was, the makeup on his face was wiped off by Jun Ziyou. To his surprise, this man had a handsome appearance.

Seeing his true face, the gentleman couldn't help sighing, "You are actually a woman!"

"You are the woman! If you want to kill or cut, give it a good time, don't let this tasteless fart!"

Hearing the low voice and the delicate little lady on the stage, Jun Ziyou did not hide his disappointment after the gap, "Okay, a man is a man, what do you call it?"

"I am your father!"

"Don't talk nonsense, my father has already been buried. If you want to take advantage, don't curse yourself like that. If you want to live, I want to live too. Why don't we live together?"

The assassin was a little dazed, licking his dry lips uneasily, Jun Ziyou immediately handed him the water bowl, seeing that he was tied up and unable to move, he took the initiative to feed him water.

"To tell you the truth, the last person I served was my father, but he was too sick to be cured. He died without taking the last bowl of medicine. Since then, I have made up my mind that I will not give up any A human life, now you are in front of me, your neck is on the blade, do you think I can save you?"

The assassin was silent, looking at Jun Ziyou with astonishment, but more doubts, as if he took him for a fool, and tentatively asked, "Are you sick?"

"Does it look like it?"

"What do you say? Who would be so stupid to come to rescue the murderer? Your grandson is simply trying to get some words out of my mouth! I'm yuck!!"

"Tsk, I stretched out my hand and saved you. Even if you don't live, I'm still worthy of my conscience, but you're different, understand?"

It means that if you miss me, the living Bodhisattva who saves suffering, then you will have to be more careful in your next life.
