The huge Prince Wu's Mansion was deserted with only a few servants, as if the entire house had been deserted in one day!
In Ciyun Garden, the young eunuchs and maids swept the courtyard boredly, whispering quietly to acquaintances, or exchanging glances. Top 23S.

From time to time, when I look up at the pavilion on the left side of the mourning hall, my eyes are less contemptuous and disdainful, and more cautious and awe-inspiring!
In the pavilion, two seriously injured patients from the Nursing Home of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stood aside respectfully, reluctantly telling something.
Wu Ming took a gentle sip of the spiritual tea, feeling the constant state of vitality in his body with a contented expression. He inadvertently frowned slightly, silently showing that he was not as relaxed as he appeared.
"Little prince, everyone in the palace knows that the Golden Scale King is like a dragon that never sees its end. I have never heard of him having any bad habits. It's just that his son Jin Gongzi, who has just transformed three years ago, has been doing bad things in recent years.
How many lives of palace ladies have been taken!"
"I also heard that Mr. Jin has fallen in love with the eldest princess, and is even interested in the third princess. Anyway, he is a restless master!"
The two little eunuchs chattered to each other, talking about the secrets of the palace as if they were pouring beans.
One is named Wu Shou and the other is named Liu Lu. They are both very clever people.
"Hey, what kind of divine dragon has its head but not its tail? It's just a fish!"
Wu Ming pouted, muttering to himself, and waved for the two of them to continue.
The reason why the two people are here is not to concoct something, but to get some useful information from their mouths.
Although it is impossible to win over people's hearts in just a few days, it is nothing to get some innocuous information.
In addition, with good medicine for recovery, the two of them got a lot of benefits. Although they could not say that they knew everything, there were many secrets that ordinary people didn't know, which opened Wu Ming's eyes.
Especially the King of Golden Scales who is more interested in him. Even the two young eunuchs don't know how old he is. They only know that he has been practicing in the golden pool of the palace since the third and fifth generations of emperors.
"Why do you only talk about the eldest princess, the third princess, and the second princess?"
Wu Ming retracted his thoughts and asked lazily.
He has already met the eldest princess and the third princess. The eldest princess is called Zhao Yingluo. The girl at the palace dinner on the first day after returning to the court was this girl. The third princess is Zhao Yao, a very scheming woman!
"This~"
The two young eunuchs looked embarrassed.
"This is not the palace, don't worry, no one will hear what you say!"
Wu Ming pursed his lips. The people sweeping around him were far away and deliberately lowered their voices so that they could not hear him at all.
"My young prince, that Wanru princess is said to be an unknown person!"
Wu Shou didn't dare to speak, but Liu Lu said boldly.
"Oh, what kind of ominous spell is this?"
When Wu Ming heard this, he immediately became interested.
Wu Shou tugged at Liu Lu's sleeve and shook his head to signal, but Liu Lu didn't notice it at all. His saliva flew everywhere, and he opened his cheeks and started talking.
After talking about it, Wu Ming finally understood why this second princess, whose name was only heard but not seen in person, was so ominous!
It turns out that this girl lost her mother when she was young and was destined to be in the army. If she were born as a boy, she would fight on the battlefield as a general and win every battle. If she practiced martial arts, she would be indomitable and innately supreme. If she practiced writing, she would be in charge of criminal laws and be upright.
But unfortunately, she is born as a girl, and even if her mother is killed, those who are close to her mother's family will most likely be in disaster.
The palace maids who were close to him also encountered disasters, either suffering from disasters or contracting diseases.
She is not even close to anyone from the royal family, let alone Song Emperor Zhao Yukun, who is closest to her by blood!
Therefore, since he was born, he was sent to the cold palace and was served by several older palace maids. His life was miserable.
Toot!
After listening, Wu Ming remained silent for a long time, tapping the handrail with his fingers.
It seems that I don't take it seriously, but in fact my heart is full of emotions.
With his character, he actually didn't believe in fate, but after coming to another world and seeing all kinds of anecdotes and legends, he naturally began to believe in those gods and gods.
But Wu Ming still has a rigorous attitude towards such futile matters as destiny!
"Hey, if you break the fate of the army and conquer your relatives, will you live alone and widowed for a lifetime? It is said that the strong can change their destiny against the will of heaven. The innate strong can live for hundreds of years. What about the masters and even saints who have passed away? The great Song Dynasty can't find it.
A talented man changed the fate of the princess? Is it because the cost is too high, or is there another reason?"
Countless speculations came to mind, and Wu Ming was more inclined to the latter.
It's not that he is too conspiracy-minded, but the royal family of the Li Dynasty really didn't leave a good impression on people.
However, even if there is really something dirty in it, it is not something that he can mix in now.
"My young prince, what you ordered has been completed. All the fine silver charcoal has been ground into fine powder!"
At this moment, a young eunuch came over carrying a wooden bowl and placed it respectfully on the stone table.
"Well, put it here!"
Wu Ming twisted a little, groped carefully, nodded, waved, and stood up and walked to the mourning hall, "That's it for today. Your injuries will be healed in a few days. You will work well in the palace from now on!"
The two of them looked at each other, neither of them dared to say anything, and bowed out respectfully.
When she arrived at the mourning hall, she closed the door and the green light on the altar flashed. Qingxia flew out and sucked away the life fire without saying a word. She disappeared again with a cold face, leaving Wu Ming unable to even talk to her.
Chance.
"This girl!"
Wu Ming touched the bridge of his nose and did not force it.
It has become a habit to respectfully offer incense and salute to the spiritual place, morning, noon and evening, for several days!
"It's been three days, and the dishonest people haven't even come to question me. Is there anything else I can rely on?"
Amid the curls of cigarettes, Wu Ming stood with his hands behind his hands, his brows slightly furrowed.
Just before, Zhang Shun and others were forced away, and the power in the government was taken back. Most of the shops in Beijing were too dilapidated to be opened. Instead, they were forced to open shops under the name of the Zhang family.
The weather is booming and business is booming.
It's just that the deed is not in the hands of Prince Wu's Mansion. Wu Ming can't find a reason and has no intention to continue to exert pressure. After all, revealing that Bian Town is to be sold is enough to cause a storm!
What surprised him was that even so, none of the four families sent anyone to negotiate!
"Do you really think that since the deed is not in my hands, there is nothing you can do about it? I~"
After pondering for a long time, there was a knock on the door, but it was Wu Fu who came back.
"Young Master, everyone is here!"
Wu Fuqi's body was now a little straighter, and he stood aside respectfully.
As the two of them arrived outside Ciyun Garden, they saw about thirty young men and women ranging from teenagers to twenty years old, led by three middle-aged or old men who were missing arms and legs, looking at them curiously.
One old and one young.
From a distance, Wu Ming was sizing up.
These people stood in four distinct groups.
The three older ones are from one group. The one who is lame and missing his right hand is called Chai Qing. The one who has a sick face and is thin but as tall as a bamboo pole is called Hu Qing. The last old man has a goatee and is blind in one eye. He is gray.
His hair was a little messy, and he was smoking cigarettes. His name was Hu Cang, and his face was somewhat similar to that of the tall and thin man.
The remaining young people were divided into three groups.
The most eye-catching thing is that the group with the smallest number of people only has four people. The leader is a tall young man with his hands reaching his knees. He is hugging his arms with a defiant face, and the other three people are surrounding him like a shield.
, the clothes on his body are luxurious, and he obviously does not come from an ordinary family.
There were two groups left, one group was covered in tattered clothes, with bruises on their exposed skin, and a few had panda eyes, glaring fiercely at the young man with his hands and knees from time to time, with a fierce look in their eyes.
The last group of people were also the youngest. They wore ordinary clothes, had patches piled on top of each other, and had sallow complexions and skinny muscles. It was obvious that they were not living a good life.
On the way here, Wu Fu introduced the situation of these people to Wu Ming. Not only did he recognize them all at a glance, he also remembered the main characters among them clearly.
Forget about the others, the identity of the boy with his hands reaching his knees is surprisingly the only son of Yuan Cheng, the defender of one of the five border towns in Prince Wu's Mansion - Yuan Fei!
He is only fifteen years old, but he has already entered the Qi realm!
In terms of strength, it is estimated that Wu Ming can be stabbed to death with one finger!
"This is the team I will be based on in the future. They are all a group of young men, but they are really good!"
Taking in everyone's expressions one by one, Wu Ming came closer with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
"Hu Cang, Hu Qing, and Chai Qing have met the young prince!"
Hu Cang smoked his cigarette and stood up first, while the other two bowed.
"I've met the young prince!"
Among the young doctors, except for Yuan Fei, the other two groups sparsely saluted, most of them showing curiosity and awe.
"You three don't need to be polite. The palace has treated you badly these years!"
Wu Ming stretched out his hand to help the three of them, and his behavior was quite satisfactory. He was not overly enthusiastic or unfamiliar. He just expressed his apology as the heir to the royal family.
"Hey, you are self-aware. Why, by calling us back this time, do you want us to continue to work for the palace?"
Before Hu Cang and the others could say anything, Yuan Fei sneered.
"Brother Fei is right. After so many years, our father and grandfather have worked hard for the Wu family, and we have repaid many kindnesses!"
"That's it, why does a person who appears out of nowhere have to make us sacrifice our lives?"
"For him, how many of our fathers lost their lives back then, in an unexplained death, without even an explanation, and they still want us to sacrifice our lives? Bah!"
The three people around him sneered and said evil things to each other.
Wu Fu's old face changed, he opened his mouth, his eyes flickered, he didn't know what he thought of, but he didn't say anything.
Hu Cang frowned, and the two people outside looked at Wu Ming curiously, as if they planned to see how he would solve the problem.
The second group of teenagers looked at the three of them, obviously they were related. Seeing that they were silent, some of the teenagers who opened their mouths swallowed their words abruptly.
Most of the last group of teenagers were a little timid, and the only few teenagers with clear eyes and bright aura were watching.
"I don't want you to work for me!"
Wu Ming spread his hands and said innocently.
"Hey, what are you lying to? Why did you ask Mr. Wu to call us here if you didn't work for you?"
Yuan Fei curled his lips disdainfully.
"The house is big and spacious. I want to find a few more companions to increase my popularity, isn't that okay?"
Wu Ming was not angry either and said with a smile.
"You~"
Yuan Fei was so angry that he was speechless at Wu Ming's scoundrel behavior.
"Brother Fei, since he said he is looking for a companion to increase his popularity, let's live here comfortably and see what tricks he plays!"
"That's right, it's just free food and free living. Even if something happens, it's none of our business!"
"Just do it this way, I want to see what kind of peace of mind he has!"
Several teenagers made up their minds in a flurry, not taking Wu Ming seriously at all.
On the contrary, it was Yuan Fei, whose eyes flickered and stared at Wu Ming with some uncertainty, as if there were flowers on his face.
