Long Ying hurriedly returned the gift and said with a wry smile: "How dare you not give face to Duke Hengguo? It's just because I just came back from a long trip, and I promised that I must rush back to Gantangyuan before Xu Shi. Please forgive me, Lord Hengguo."
A look of jealousy flashed in Zhang Yizhi's eyes, and then he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "I don't dare to stop my husband from returning home to love my concubine. I'll wait until Yizhi makes arrangements. Don't push it back then."
How could Long Ying answer him? He could only say: "How dare you, little brother?"
Zhang Yizhi smiled happily and waved his hand.
Long Ying watched him and his entourage run down Tianjin Bridge, sighed secretly, and continued on his way back.
Entering Shangyang Palace, he was stopped by Ling Yu who looked indignant. He was startled and quickly asked what happened.
Ling Yu said: "Xiao Ma knows that yesterday Ge Yu blocked the road to challenge Ying Ye, and this morning he specially brought a few brothers to the school grounds in the imperial city to watch him practice martial arts. Little did he know that Ge Yu openly challenged them and even insulted you, Ying Ye. Mr. Zephyr, Xiao Ma has always been impulsive and couldn't hold it back and ended up competing with wooden swords. This guy really overestimated his own abilities, but Ge Yu went too far. Taking advantage of King Wei's momentum, he dared to hurt Xiao Ma with a heavy hand and broke his body. I've lost three ribs, and I can't get out of bed until ten days and eight days."
Long Ying said: "I want to see Xiao Ma immediately."
Ling Yu said: "Don't go. Under the current situation, no one should make it public. The consequences of alerting the Holy Emperor are unpredictable. Xiaoma may be punished for causing trouble in the school grounds."
Long Ying understood that Wu Zhao would only try his best to exonerate Ge Yu because he did not want to damage the relationship with the Turks. He said: "You pretend you haven't told me, I have my own sense of discretion."
Back at Gantangyuan, the three girls were very happy to see him coming back so early. Lili said: "The black clothes for night walking and the reversible coat that my husband asked us to make have been completed. Please try them on, sir."
Long Ying said happily: "So fast!"
Xiuqing said coquettishly: "My husband has a destiny, so of course we will do our best. And once we do it, we will make two sets of each for your husband to replace."
Longying took the hot tea handed to him by Renya, took two sips and put it on the table. He looked at the three beauties sitting down around the round table and felt happy. Suddenly he noticed that Renya's ears were shining brightly. He shot out the pearl earrings and said in surprise: "How did Renya get such beautiful and dazzling earrings?"
Renya said happily: "Sister Fu gave it to me!"
Long Ying was confused and said: "Who is Sister Fu?"
Lili said: "Fortunately Fu Mei has returned to Tubo, otherwise I would have sued you and said you had forgotten her! Let her come and fight for you."
Long Ying slapped his forehead and remembered that Mei Xiu Nafu had said that he would visit them. These pearl earrings were probably a meeting gift she bought in Yangzhou. No wonder she spent so much silver.
Xiuqing raised her left hand and let the sleeve slide down, revealing her delicate and smooth forearm. She was wearing a set of three jade bracelets, which made her look radiant.
Longying looked at Lili, who looked shy, while Renya and Xiuqing giggled.
Long Ying asked in confusion: "What exactly did your sister Fu buy for you? Can't you let me see it?"
Lili sat on her side, raised her slender legs, and pulled down her trousers, letting him see the shining golden chains tied to her left and right ankles.
Long Ying lost his voice and said: "How can people see if you wear it on your feet?"
Renya and Xiuqing laughed even harder. After sitting down, Lili glanced at him with a red face and said, "I wear it for my husband to see. As long as he can see it."
Long Ying said: "But I can't see it either!"
Xiuqing said with a trembling smile: "You and Sister Li can see clearly when they are in good company."
Lili refused: "Don't say it!"
Long Ying understood, but this was just Mei Xiunaf's usual style, and smiled and said: "I will appreciate it tonight, husband."
Xiuqing still refused to let Lili go, saying: "My husband came back suddenly yesterday, and Lili was so happy that she forgot about everything. So tonight she specially wore it to let her husband feast his eyes."
Long Ying said: "Do you get along well with her?"
Renya nodded and said: "Sister Fu stayed at Gantangyuan for two nights. We talked in the same bed every night. She told her about your heroic deeds of outsmarting the enemy in the Grand Canal. She never got tired of talking about it, and never tired of listening to it."
Lili said: "She is really beautiful, she shines like gold."
At this time Eunuch Li came to report. Feng Guoting looked for him. Of course Long Ying knew why he came to visit and went out to see him in the outer hall.
The two of them sat on a few chairs by the window in the outer hall. Feng Guoting laughed and said: "Is this boy Ge Yu tired of living? He made such nonsense in the school grounds that you and I didn't dare to go to the school grounds. He has eaten a leopard." Cowardly? Or is he suffering from mental illness? Why is he so confident in himself? "
Long Ying said: "You are very well informed."
Feng Guoting said: "It was Li Duozuo who sent someone to inform me. I heard that he also injured several guards."
Long Ying thought that Li Duozuo was a man who was proficient in the art of war and military situations, and now he was on the same side with them. It was obvious that Wu Zhao's reconciliation with the Turks through Wu Chengsi had aroused great dissatisfaction among the military. Now It is difficult for me to influence Wu Zhao in this regard, and the only person who can persuade Wu Zhao on this matter is Hei Te Changzhi, the most respected person in the military. Can you ask him to find a way?
Long Ying said: "Should I take action or you?"
Feng Guoting said: "Of course I will take action. Competitions in the school field are only considered as exercises, and are not different from fighting in the arena. Huh!"
Long Ying said: "I always feel something is wrong. Although Ge Yu is a master, but no matter how conceited he is, the outcome against me or you is at best 50-50. Damn it, let me go to find out the enemy's situation tonight. You come to me first tomorrow morning, and then I will tell you the information about the enemy."
Feng Guoting looked at him with wide eyes and said, "How can we find out the enemy's situation?"
Dragon Eagle stood up and said: "Follow me!"
Feng Guoting followed him to the inner courtyard in confusion. This was the first time Long Ying had brought a friend here. The three girls learned that Feng Guoting was his best friend and served him diligently.
The two sat down at the round table. Feng Guoting took advantage of the three girls to get something and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law Ya is particularly famous for meeting her. No wonder everyone in the palace wants to get her."
When Long Ying saw him speaking, his eyes were clear and clear, showing no trace of jealousy. He felt happy in his heart, knowing that he had made the right friend.
Renya brought the "Flying Divine Escape" at this time. Longying took it and handed it to Feng Guoting. The latter played with it for a moment and then said in surprise: "You didn't want to use this tool to go to the Wei Palace and eavesdrop on Wu Chengsi's words! Unless they are having a confidential meeting, what can they hear? It’s not easy to backfire. It’s not worth it!”
Long Ying said to Renya: "Renya is going to ask Eunuch Li to prepare a carriage. You should also prepare it. We will go to Liqi Pavilion tonight."
Renya went away overjoyed.
Feng Guoting smiled and said: "Then I should go to Liqi Pavilion to find you tomorrow morning. However, the Wei Palace has a lot of experts and is heavily guarded, and there are vicious dogs patrolling at night. I still want to advise you to think twice before going to court."
Long Ying pointed at the Divine Escape in his hand and said: "This is what the fat father-in-law took out from the treasury. It was refined by Chen Laomou and Lu Taeko's Flying Divine Escape. I am a super master who is hiding. If you can't get any information, treat it as practice, so you can be sure that you won't notice it."
Feng Guoting's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Without Feitian Divine Escape, are you still confident of sneaking into Prince Wei's Mansion?"
Long Ying pondered for a moment and said: "If you sneak through Liqi Pavilion, there should be no problem. What do you think of?"
Feng Guoting said: "I use your Flying Divine Escape, and you rely on the magical skills of the magic species. Wouldn't it be more fun to kill Ge Yu when you get the chance?"
For the first time, Long Ying realized Feng Guoting's bold side and said with a wry smile: "It's indeed a pleasure, but the Holy Spirit will guess that I did it and will never let me go. Hey! As long as the person killed is not Ge Yu, for example, Chu Yuantian, He can also plausibly point out to the Holy One that he is Dajiang Lian's undercover agent in the palace, and let Wu Chengsi know that assassinating him is not impossible."
Feng Guoting said excitedly: "That's it."
Long Ying said sincerely: "We are all brothers. It's not like the young master has any issues with Wu Chengsi, so it's not worth doing this."
Feng Guoting said calmly: "No matter what position I take now, after what happened yesterday, Wu Chengsi has already regarded me as one of your party, so what else is there to worry about?"
Long Ying said decisively: "That's it. It may be that God has destined that Chu Yuantian will not survive tonight. I just made two sets of night clothes. How about one set for each person?"
The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Regardless of the imperial palace, the imperial city, or Shangyang Palace, the most tightly guarded areas are the outer city walls and gates. The main gate is even equipped with a military post, which can handle hundreds of enemy attacks at any time. Next, it is the turn of each independent tower. The palaces and courtyards, like the Wei Palace, have their own generals and soldiers who are responsible for the security. As for the vast space between the palaces and courtyards, they are patrolled by Yulin Guards. At night, except for the Shinto and a few secondary roads, there is light. A fire lantern is used to illuminate the city walls, gates and brightly lit palaces. The areas that cannot be illuminated are dark everywhere. However, if you approach any palace, it is difficult to avoid the bright posts and secret sentries of each palace. In terms of security, it can be said that it is impeccable. .But if there is one person who can sneak into one of the temples without alerting anyone, that person must be Dragon Eagle. Only his demon species can grasp the gaps created by people and complete this almost impossible task.
Before the carriage arrived at the Shenchi, Long Ying and Feng Guoting sneaked out of the carriage and dodged into the darkness. After a while, they arrived at a dark place about 200 steps away from Prince Wei's Mansion. If they walked a few more steps, they would be within reach of the lights of Prince Wei's Mansion.
Long Ying looked at it intently and said: "Wu Chengsi is probably the person in the palace who is most afraid of being assassinated. There are three secret sentries facing us, which are very hidden. His grandma's!"
Feng Guoting still looked that chic and freehand, and said softly: "Are you still sure?"
Long Ying's eyes flashed with magic light, and he said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say! But no matter what, you have to win a shop, and if you can't win, you can sneak to Liqi Pavilion. Remember to follow me closely, as if you become my shadow."
Feng Guoting said: "As long as I can sneak to the backyard wall, I can use my divine escape to climb over the wall and sneak in. It's exciting to think about it."
The two of them had been practicing in the back garden of Gantangyuan for a long time, and they were very confident in the "Flying Divine Escape".
Long Ying said "Hey", Feng Guoting also heard it and said: "There is a carriage coming!"
They followed the sound and saw a carriage coming from the direction of the imperial city, turning in front to the Palace of the Prince of Wei. The driver was clearly the target they wanted to assassinate, Chu Yuantian.
