"...Only a glass of water and wine, to express my heart." Cai Yan toasted Wu Du's second glass of wine, Wu Du did not speak, and drank silently.
"It's a bit bitter." Wu Du said.
"What?" Cai Yan couldn't come back to his senses for a while, but Wu Du shook his head, smiled, and looked at Cai Yan. Cai Yan was most afraid of others looking at him, and for a while it was a little unnatural. Lang Junxia got up at the right time and placed a seal in front of Wu Du.
Wu Du's eyes turned to the seal, and Cai Yan said to him again: "This seal can be used to withdraw silver coins at will in the four banks of Tongbao, Changlong, Yunji and Qianxing, as well as in the branch, for you to recruit your subordinates. print."
Wu Du was stunned again, then pressed his knee with one hand, changed from sitting to standing, and stood up.
"I can't accept it." Wu Du said, "I'm afraid that it will disappoint His Highness's high hopes."
After saying this, the hall was quiet, and the three of them did not speak. After a long time, Wu Du took a deep breath and said, "The late emperor appreciated me, this kind of kindness should be remembered, and Wu alone should go all out, but he can walk It's hard to say which step."
Cai Yan's face was very stiff at first, but when he heard this sentence, he laughed again, as if relieved, and said: "Wu Qing, I'm not afraid to say something serious to you, in this world, apart from Wuluohou and you, I can't think of anyone who would believe it."
Wu Du smiled slightly, nodded, clasped his fists at Cai Yan, bowed, and said, "Farewell."
"You haven't had your third glass of wine yet." Lang Junxia spoke again.
"I'll drink it later." Wu Du said, "I have to find Zhenshanhe for His Highness first, otherwise I really have no face to drink this glass of wine."
He turned to leave, the door closed again, leaving Cai Yan and Lang Junxia sitting quietly, with the seal still on the case.
Cai Yan wanted to throw the wine glass on the ground, but he held back all the time, for fear that Wu Du, who had never gone far, would lose his demeanor when the sound of smashing the glass and pushing the case would be heard.
"He can't trust you." Lang Junxia finally said, "This is always the case with people in temperament. They will give up on one or two words of yours, and they will also remember one or two things in their hearts. Back then, he was buried in the Mufu as a secret line. , this is a wrong move."
"I understand it as a person." Cai Yan said, "What good would killing him do to me?"
Lang Junxia said, "It's not anyone who thinks so clearly."
Cai Yan said helplessly: "I have explained it to him."
"He accepted it in his heart." Lang Junxia said, "I don't accept it emotionally."
Cai Yan said, "So is he giving up, or is he at odds?"
Lang Junxia replied, "You have to coax this kind of person."
Cai Yan stopped talking. After a long time, he said, "Lang Junxia, I beg you one more time, you stay."
"No need to say anymore." Lang Junxia said, "As long as you always coax him and make him believe in you, sooner or later he will give up on you and replace me sooner or later."
Cai Yan opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but Lang Junxia said to him:
"He will protect you, and he doesn't know anything. My sins are irreparable in this life. In the next life, and even in the next life, I will go to hell, be scorched by raging fire, stabbed in the mountains and seas of fire, cut my abdomen and pull out my tongue, and I will never be freed."
Lang Junxia got up, and Cai Yan said, "You don't know life, how can you know death? You killed one person, but saved the world. I swore in this life that I would never do anything to you..."
Lang Junxia looked up at Cai Yan and said, "In my heart, the executioner who slashed me with thousands of knives is myself."
Cai Yan looked at Lang Junxia and didn't say a word for a long time.
At this moment, Duan Ling was lying on the couch eating grapes, flipping through a picture of an erotic palace.
He found that he was still very interested in erotic pictures, and he didn't know that it was the charming atmosphere here that made him want to be wild and his blood boiled. , Duan Ling turned around for a while, his mouth was dry, and the grapes in his mouth did not bite, and he licked and licked between his lips and teeth.
When Wu Du came back, Duan Ling immediately put away the erotic pictures, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, unnaturally arranged his robes, and couldn't sit up and said, "You're back so soon?"
Wu Du looked at Duan Ling, lost his mind for a while, and suddenly felt a strange feeling. Maybe it was just what he saw. The atmosphere between Wuluohou and the prince was very heavy, and when he returned to Duan Ling, there was a kind of light in the whole world. brilliance.
"Are you all right?" Duan Ling always felt that Wu Du's expression was not right.
Wu Du shook his head, turned to sit on the couch, and said to Duan Ling, "We'll go back later when they leave."
Duan Ling felt as if Wu Du was moved. Wu Du's eyes were a little red and he seemed to want to cry. Duan Ling watched for a while, and tried to stretch out a hand, put Wu Du's neck, and pat the back of his head.
Wu Du shook his head and regained his senses. Duan Ling asked, "Who is it?"
"Prince." Wu Du said.
With a "Boom", lightning struck Duan Ling's mind, and Duan Ling immediately flooded with countless complicated emotions, and said, "The prince is on the opposite side?"
Duan Ling secretly said that it was dangerous, Wu Du spoke in a few words, and said what he had just said. Duan Ling could no longer hear anything. Many thoughts came out one after another, and became fragmented again. He turned to look at Wu Du.
It was Wu Du's turn to be surprised, and asked Duan Ling, "What?"
Duan Ling shook his head, and Wu Du asked again, "Drinking?"
Wu Du frowned, sniffing Duan Ling's breath, but there was no smell of alcohol. Duan Ling was thinking about the "Prince", what did the prince want to do with Wu Du? In fact, Wu Du said it, but Duan Ling didn't hear it for a while.
The action of Wu Du approaching made Duan Ling come back to his senses, their faces were so close, Duan Ling's face immediately turned red, and Wu Du also felt a little unnatural, so he patted his face casually and said: "Hey."
The action was even more ambiguous. Earlier, Wu Du also slapped Duan Ling on the face, but he didn't mean anything, but the two suddenly became embarrassed, and Duan Ling was uneasy. When Wu Du heard the girl outside laughing, he saw off the guests downstairs. He must have left, so he said to Duan Ling, "Let's go too."
Duan Ling nodded and got up with Wu Du. As soon as the two opened the door, they saw the door of the Tianzihao room on the opposite side, and Cai Yan and Lang Junxia came out.
At that moment, Duan Ling was shocked. The stairs were where they met, and there was no way to avoid it. Cai Yan glanced quickly and saw Wu Du. Behind Wu Du, there was a young man.
"Why not them?" Wu Du didn't expect it, and said to Duan Ling, "Go and say hello."
The change came so quickly that Duan Ling had almost no time to think, and immediately made a move that shocked Wu Du.
Duan Ling hugged Wu Du's neck and stood on tiptoe, causing him to bow his head. Wu Du's face was flushed all of a sudden, and his hands were very unnatural.
"I can't let them know." Duan Ling whispered quickly beside Wu Du's ear.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Ling put one hand on Wu Du's face, and kissed him in a gesture. Wu Du hadn't figured it out yet, but he cooperated with Duan Ling and pressed him against the wall.
"If they know that you are still with someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion." Duan Ling pressed Wu Du's nose, frowned slightly, and said, "I would suspect that you leaked the news..."
In this way, it was like when Wu Du was about to leave, he hugged a little maid in the building and said goodbye affectionately.
"Oh." Wu Du stared into Duan Ling's eyes, and suddenly said, "Be careful that the fake show is real, you shouldn't be real..."
Duan Ling felt that he had a strange reaction when the two of them breathed staggeredly. He was very embarrassed, but he didn't dare to part. They looked at each other's faces. Duan Ling's heart beat faster and his eyes wandered. In one eye. Suddenly, I felt that this guy's nose was very good-looking. I didn't realize it at first, but now it's the type that looks more attractive.
"You... say something?" Duan Ling was really embarrassed.
"If you were a woman," Wu Du said, "I'll have no choice but to marry you."
"Do you have a girl you like?" Duan Ling asked casually. He wanted to change the subject, but as soon as he said it, he felt like a confession, which made the atmosphere even more awkward.
"There used to be." Wu Du said, "now it's gone. I'll tell you more when I'm free."
Until the sound of footsteps coming downstairs came from behind, the two separated from each other. Duan Ling was afraid of being caught by them from downstairs, so he dodged and entered the room again.
"Are they gone?" Duan Ling asked inside.
Wu Du did not speak.
"Wu Du?" Duan Ling asked.
It was only then that Wu Du regained his senses, and at that moment, he was absent-minded.
"Let's go." Wu Du said, "Wait."
After waiting for a while, Wu Du said, "Let's go."
Duan Ling came out just now, and the two went down the stairs. Duan Ling felt up and down in his heart, and Wu Du said, "You really are a scheming person."
"There are too many scheming, and life is also tired." Duan Ling sighed.
"You can sell me when you go back." Wu Du said, "Maybe the prime minister will reward you with a big mansion."
Duan Ling said solemnly: "What did you say just now? Except for the 'Prince', I was too shocked. I didn't hear a word of what I said later. Why don't you repeat it again? you."
Wu Du laughed, and the two left the Qunfang Pavilion.
Inside the carriage, Cai Yan opened the curtain and said to Lang Junxia, who was driving the carriage, "I just left before us and Wu Du, but are they from Mu's Mansion?"
"I didn't see it clearly." Lang Junxia said, "The carriage has already left, I took a quick look, like."
"Wu Du brought it here?" Cai Yan frowned deeply.
Lang Junxia stopped the car, pondered for a moment, and then said: "No, I'm afraid he's being followed, but following... it won't use the carriage of the house."
On the long street, people scattered and the market was closing. The remaining stalls were closing. Wu Du and Duan Ling walked side by side.
"The prince wants to recruit me, what's the matter?" Wu Du said absentmindedly, "I see your master Wu's skills."
"Learn the arts of civil and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family." Duan Ling said, "You should be like this, but what about the Mufu? How should you handle yourself?"
Wu Du thought for a while and shook his head. Duan Ling roughly understood that most of them were fake princes and needed both hands.
If the prince was brought back by Lang Junxia, he would sooner or later get rid of this guy who knew all the inside information. After all, as long as Lang Junxia was killed, he could sit back and relax, and no one in the world would know the truth.
But Lang Junxia is not so easy to kill. The prince should have had other thoughts. In addition to him, he also needs to cultivate a person of his own. Only Wu Du is competent for this person. Lang Junxia wasn't stupid either, and he guessed he could see the prince's mind.
"In the beginning, I won't be able to compete with the Prime Minister." Wu Du said, "In the future, it will depend on luck."
"I think so." Duan Ling said, "If it were me, maybe I would agree, but I would never obey anyone. How should I say it? Again, find yourself..."
The two walked and walked, turning into the path back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Duan Ling's words came to an abrupt end.
Wu Du frowned slightly, followed Duan Ling's gaze, and saw a man standing in the alley—
- Lang Junxia.
