Only then did Yanrui claim to have seen Lu Tang, the servant next to Jing Yu, so Bai Jinfu guessed that Jing Yu should be on the mountain with some important person at this time, so he asked the little Taoist priest to take the order that Jing Yu gave him. Card to find Jingyu.

Then he returned to the same spot and saw many guards in official uniforms surrounding the persimmon tree from a distance. Jing Haoyuan, who was climbing on the persimmon tree, was dragged down from below and fell to the ground in all directions. It looks like a bastard with all four feet in the sky.

Jing Haoyuan fell from the tree, the pain made his eyes stare, he couldn't get up for a while, he struggled to get up and shouted cursingly: "Which desperate grandson dares to drag your grandpa, do you know who he is? !"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face. A white-faced and beardless man stood in front of Jing Haoyuan and said in a sharp voice: "Who are you, how dare you step on the tree planted by Queen Huiyuan? Blaspheme Queen Huiyuan, you will die!"

Jing Haoyuan had never been slapped in the face in his life, and he was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart. He immediately jumped up and rolled up his sleeves to find that person desperately: "How dare you hit me? Well, you old bastard, I have to do it today." I can't beat you to death!"

But before he got close to him, two tall and burly guards next to him grabbed one arm and pressed him face down on the ground so that he could not move.

Jing Haoyuan took a bite of the mud and yelled helplessly: "Let go of me! Do you know who I am? If you dare to touch me, I will make you all eat and walk around!"

Someone kicked Jing Haoyuan hard in the stomach, and shouted: "How can you be presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson!"

Jing Haoyuan was taken aback when he heard what the man said, and stopped struggling, what?His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?

Only then did he suddenly remember that the eldest grandson of the emperor had also come to Lianhua Temple, and he couldn't help sweating his back. At the same time, he slapped himself hard in his heart. Forgot, knowing that the eldest grandson of the emperor is in the temple, but dared to agree to Bai Jin's help to climb the persimmon tree, isn't this looking for death?

Jing Haoyuan raised his head guiltily and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a man wearing a black fox cloak standing under the persimmon tree. He is the eldest son of the current prince of Daliu, Duan Wuji, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Duan Wuji didn't speak just now, but looked coldly at Jing Haoyuan's ugly face with a look like looking at ants, and slightly parted his thin lips for a while, and said indifferently: "Disrespect to Queen Huiyuan is a death penalty. Use it as flower fertilizer."

The guards got the order and dragged Jing Haoyuan to the persimmon tree. Jing Haoyuan was so frightened that he yelled: "The grandson of the emperor, please forgive me! I really didn't mean to offend Queen Huiyuan! That, that, I am Ning'anhoufu Yes, Ning'an Hou Jingyu is my elder brother, and your lord has a lot of grandsons, please forgive the villain this time!"

Hearing Jing Haoyuan's screams from a distance, Bai Jinfu calculated the time and it was time for him to play, so he cleared his throat and walked towards that side while saying loudly: "Emperor Sun Mingjian, I let you It's none of Second Master's business that he climbed a tree, if you want to punish him, punish me!"

Before Bai Jinfu took two steps, he was stopped by the guards and told him not to get too close and ordered him to kneel down. Without hesitation, Bai Jinfu lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground.

Duan Wuji first raised his hand to stop the two guards holding Jing Haoyuan, then raised his eyelids to look at Bai Jinfu, and asked with a half-smile, "Why? Are you also Ning Anhou's younger brother?"

Bai Jin shook his head: "No."

Duan Wuji pointed at Bai Jinfu, looked at the guard next to him, and said concisely: "Then bury him."

Jing Haoyuan originally thought that Bai Jinfu had already escaped, but he didn't expect that Bai Jinfu would stand up and exonerate him. He suddenly felt that Bai Jinfu was loyal enough not to leave him to run for his life, and was very moved.

But when he heard that Duan Wuji was about to bury Bai Jin again, he was in a panic. If Jing Yu knew that he brought Bai Jin out to help him but ended up killing him, Jing Yu would interrupt him. His legs were bad, so he hurriedly helped Bai Jinfu to intercede: "The emperor's grandson, please spare his life! He is my brother's savior. He came from the countryside and just arrived in the capital. Bar!"

Duan Wuji scoffed lightly, looked at Jing Haoyuan with cold eyes, and mockingly said: "I have already spared you, and now you want me to spare him, why, what is the honor of Marquis Ning'an? Say, people in this capital will act according to the face of Ning Anhou from now on?"

Jing Haoyuan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he kowtowed to Duan Wuji and stammered: "No, no, dare not, that's not what you mean by a villain, you, grandson of the emperor, your lord has a lot, don't be as knowledgeable as us... "

Duan Wuji was too lazy to look at Jing Haoyuan's begging for mercy, and noticed that Bai Jinfu, who was kneeling next to him, had a calm expression on his face, without any signs of panic, so he walked towards Bai Jinfu, and stretched his right hand out of the black fox cloak. Come out, lift Bai Jinfu's chin with the whip in his hand, "You don't seem to be afraid of me at all."

Bai Jinfu looked directly at Duan Wuji's face, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "When the grassroots first arrived in the capital, I heard that His Royal Highness, the emperor's eldest grandson, has always been generous and benevolent, and loves the people like a son, so I feel that you will definitely not be with us ignorant grassroots. General knowledge."

"What a mouth that can speak well." Duan Wuji sneered, loosened the horsewhip in his hand, and whipped the whip against Bai Jinfu's chest, flicking the end of the whip, immediately drew a light slit on Bai Jinfu's left cheek Bloodstain, "It's a pity that I don't like you the most. You offended the first queen. If you are not punished, how can you make a warning to others?"

Bai Jinfu felt a hot, hot pain on the left side of his face. He guessed that it was bleeding. He lowered his head and pressed his tongue against the cheek meat inside. He was inexplicably excited. His nephew beat his uncle. Are you condemned by God?

After waiting for a while without hearing the thunder, Bai Jinfu thought with some regret, it seems that he could not count on God, so he can only ask for the whip himself in the future.

Duan Wuji went down with a whip and didn't wait for Bai Jinfu to beg for mercy, his eyes flickered sullenly, "Come here, tie him up and hang him on the persimmon tree, don't let him go without my permission."

The guards immediately took the rope to tie up Bai Jinfu, when another person came over.

"The eldest nephew is here! Call him uncle, I'll find it easy!"

A group of people came over, and the middle-aged man at the head was the Fifth Prince, Duan Tingxu, the Lie Wang. He had passed his forty years, but he didn't seem to have the majesty of a nobleman. With a friendly smile and friendly appearance, it seems amiable, but Bai Jinfu can tell at a glance that this Lie Wang is a standard smiling tiger.

Duan Wuji knew well that King Lie came after him, and said with a smirk: "Oh? Uncle Wu is looking for something?"

King Lie came over and saw Jing Haoyuan in a state of distress and Bai Jinfu who was tied up with five flowers. He probably guessed what happened in his heart, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked: "What's wrong? Who dares to provoke our emperor?" Is the eldest grandson angry?"

Duan Wuji said indifferently: "It's nothing, don't bother Fifth Uncle."

Lie Wang smiled heartily, walked over and patted Duan Wuji on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's not that Uncle Wu likes to worry, but Uncle Wu is afraid that you will make too much noise and it will be bad if you disturb the old man. Wuji, you have already It’s not too small, and you should act with a little sense of propriety, so that you can better share state affairs for your grandfather in the future.”

Duan Wuji said with a straight face: "Of course I don't have Uncle Wu, you will be able to have everything you want. It's just that these two people dare to step on the persimmon tree that Queen Huiyuan planted by herself. They are disrespectful to Queen Huiyuan. They must be punished as they should be."

"It turned out to be because of this." King Lie shook his head disapprovingly, stroked his beard and muttered, "When the former queen was alive, she was famous for being tolerant and gentle, and kind to the palace people. Trees are dead, but people are alive. It’s just a tree, how can it be more important than people? If the former empress is still alive, I don’t think she would care about it, so why are you aggressive?”

Duan Wuji looked sideways at Lie Wang and sneered, "Fifth Uncle is truly a bodhisattva."

King Lie said: "Okay, you've beaten people before, you shouldn't be violent in front of Sanqing sages, I think it's okay."

Jing Haoyuan was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed to King Lie, "Thank you, my lord, for your help in pleading, thank you, my lord! Then the villains will not disturb the yaxing of my lord and His Royal Highness, so I will leave now!"

Jing Haoyuan got up and pulled Bai Jinfu up and planned to run away, but Duan Wuji said coldly: "Stop, who gave you permission to leave?"

Jing Haoyuan turned around tremblingly, and looked at Duan Wuji uneasily.

Bai Jinfu sneered silently behind his back, and only an idiot like Jing Haoyuan would think that Lie Wang really wanted to help them, although he said a lot of pleadings, but they were just lip service He didn't really intend to make a move, and it would only backfire and anger Duan Wuji even more. It can be seen that this Lie Wang is a hypocrite with hypocrisy.

Sure enough, Duan Wuji's face became colder, he didn't even look at them, and said: "Although King Lie pleaded for you, but, death penalty is inevitable, but life penalty is inevitable. Come and take the two of them under the persimmon tree. Fifty lashes as punishment."

Fifty lashes, wouldn't the skin be torn apart?Jing Haoyuan's legs and feet immediately went limp, and his face looked mournful.

King Lie pretended to sigh and said, "It's just two ignorant people, why do you have to speak so harshly?"

The guards escorted Bai Jinfu and Jing Haoyuan to the persimmon tree to be whipped. Jing Haoyuan had already closed his eyes and was about to accept his fate, when suddenly a low voice came from a distance: "Stop!"

Jing Yu came in strides, with steady steps and a calm expression. The black cloak behind him fluttered in the wind, sweeping up the fallen leaves along the way, but his aura was not inferior to those of the two princes and grandchildren. Salute, "I have seen His Royal Highness Lie Wang and His Highness Changsun."

"Hey, isn't this Bofei?" King Lie greeted Jing Yu with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Jing Haoyuan was refreshed when he heard the familiar voice, and when he turned his head to see the savior descending from the sky, he was overjoyed, "Brother, you are here! Brother, save me!"

King Lie turned his head to look at Jing Haoyuan, who had a dirty face, and was a little surprised: "What? This person is actually Bofei's second brother?"

Bofei is Jing Yu's cousin, and Jing Yu's aunt is Emperor Longqing's concubine Shu, who is also King Lie's concubine, so although Jing Yu and Duan Wuji are about the same age, he and King Lie are of the same generation.

Jing Yu nodded, "It's my younger brother. My younger brother is stubborn. If he accidentally offends His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, I am here to make amends to the eldest grandson on behalf of the two of you. I also ask the eldest grandson to hold your hand high."

Jing Yu bowed his hands to Duan Wuji and saluted Duan Wuji. Lie Wang should be the first to help Jing Yu up in front of Duan Wuji, and said cordially: "It's just a misunderstanding, it's not a big deal. I just persuaded the eldest grandson of the emperor to let him go." Don't make a fuss over a molehill, but the eldest grandson of the emperor insists on enforcing the law impartially, and this king is very helpless." After finishing speaking, he turned his head and winked at Duan Wuji, "Wuji, since Marquis Ning'an has personally made amends to you, let's forget about it ?”

Duan Wuji smiled inexplicably, but didn't speak, noncommittal.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Grandson." Jing Yu bowed to Duan Wuji again, as if he had agreed, "If the two Highnesses have nothing else to do, then I will take them away first. I have to go back to the mountain to wait for orders, Your Highnesses forgive me."

"Okay, okay, then go quickly!" Lie Wang patted Jing Yu's arm affectionately, leaned close to Jing Yu and asked in a low voice, "Has the old man not come out yet? Is there any news?"

Jing Yu smiled faintly, "The lower officials only guarded outside and didn't hear what was said inside, so I dare not speak rashly."

A look of disappointment flashed in King Lie's eyes, he let go of Jing Yu and waved his hand: "Go up."

Jing Yu walked up to Bai Jinfu, untied him first, then gave Jing Haoyuan a hard look, and said coldly, "You two come with me."

Although Jing Yu came in time and spared them the penalty of fifty lashes, Jing Haoyuan knew that he had caused trouble, and felt guilty when facing Jing Yu, he followed Jing Yu step by step, and did not dare to ask Jing Yu why he did not In Lianhua Temple, when they reached the steps going down the mountain, they said in a friendly voice, "Then...brother, let's go back first."

Jing Yu stopped, "Go back first."

Jing Haoyuan looked up at Bai Jinfu next to him, "Huh? What about him?"

"I'll get someone to send him back later." Jing Yu glanced at Jing Haoyuan with a warning sideways glance, and said in a serious tone, "Go back soon, and settle accounts with you after we get back."

Jing Haoyuan was so frightened by Jing Yu's eyes that he couldn't help shrinking his neck. He didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurried down the mountain as if he was running away.

Bai Jinfu stood behind Jing Yu, and when Jing Haoyuan walked away, his eyes turned red forcibly, then he sniffed, carefully tugged on Jing Yu's sleeve, and whispered, "Master Hou , I seem to have caused trouble for you."

Jing Yu turned his head and saw the red mark oozing blood on Bai Jinfu's left cheek, and the clothes on his chest were also torn, like the mark of a whip, his brows were unconsciously raised, and he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" what?"

Bai Jinfu showed his superb acting skills, his eyes were red, and he told Jing Yu the whole story pitifully, claiming that he wanted Jing Haoyuan to climb that persimmon tree because he wanted to get rid of Jing Haoyuan's entanglement The tree, but he did not expect that the tree was planted by Queen Huiyuan, so he offended the eldest grandson of the emperor.

"I panicked when I heard the grandson of the emperor said that he would bury the second master as flower fertilizer. I was afraid that something would happen to the second master, so I told them that I asked the second master to climb the tree. The grandson of the emperor wanted to punish us with fifty lashes. Fortunately Master Hou came in time, now that I think about it, I am really scared."

Jing Yu stared at Bai Jinfu's pale face, frowned and asked doubtfully, "How do you know I'm on the mountain, and still let the little Taoist priest come to the mountain to look for me?"

Bai Jinfu bit his lower lip, and explained with half truth and half lie: "Yan Rui said that he seemed to see Lu Tang on the mountain. I think Lu Tang should know where Lord Hou is, so he asked the little Taoist priest to come to you. Me too. I really don’t know who to turn to for help, I just want to try my luck.”

Jing Yu thought for a while, and chose to believe Bai Jinfu's words, his eyes softened, "You are not to blame for this, don't take it to heart, it's fine, don't worry."

Bai Jinfu nodded obediently, but accidentally stretched the muscles on his face. The wound hurt so much that he gasped. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, but Jing Yu grabbed his wrist, "Don't move!" , your hands are not clean, don’t touch them randomly, it’s not good if you leave a scar.”

Jing Yu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently helped Bai Jinfu wipe off the bloodstains on his face. The more he wiped his brows, the deeper his frown became. , it seemed particularly shocking, "Fortunately, the wound is not deep, is this welt made by the emperor's eldest grandson?"

Bai Jinfu said "um" in a nasal voice, sounding very aggrieved.

People live in his house, but something like this happened today, Jing Yu blamed himself for not protecting Bai Jinfu well, after helping Bai Jinfu wipe off the blood on his face, he pressed it on Bai Jinfu's shoulder, with a serious tone He exhorted: "In the future, if you encounter something like today, you must remember to protect yourself first, and don't be brave."

Bai Jinfu blinked, "Okay, I understand."

Jing Yu was pleased with Bai Jinfu's obedience and understanding, and nodded slightly, "I'll have someone send you back now."

"No!" Bai Jinfu tightly grasped Jing Yu's wrist with both hands, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, and shook his head repeatedly, "I don't want to go back alone..."

Jing Yu can probably understand what Bai Jinfu is afraid of. He just let Jing Haoyuan go first because he knew that Jing Haoyuan had bad intentions, so he was worried that Bai Jinfu would be alone with him, but he still has important things to do now. , it's not convenient to take Bai Jinfu with him.

Jing Yu's lips parted and he could see that Bai Jinfu had such a pitiful look of frightened birds, and his heart softened again.

He was timid to begin with, and only then did he offend those princes and grandchildren, so at this moment, he must have lingering fears in his heart.

So the words came to his lips and changed to, "Okay, then you come with me first, and when you get to the mountain, you can pretend to be my servant and follow me, don't walk around casually."

Bai Jinfu's eyes lit up, like a stray kitten that has found its owner, and nodded happily, "Yeah!"
