Guizhen

Chapter 187

Lu Zhen nodded slightly, "Your Excellency is wise." After a pause, she continued: "If the King of Wu knows where the key to the enchantment is, he must not be able to hide it from him."

Gao Tang stared at the two tall vermilion lacquered gates of Wu Wangfu, silent.

"My lord?" Lu Zhen asked softly, "Shall we... go in?"

"Wait a minute." Gao Tang's voice was deep and deep, with mixed feelings in his heart.Originally thought that King Wu was an idle prince, but he didn't expect that he also kept secrets with His Majesty the Emperor, secretly raising warlocks, and even set up an enchantment in the palace.

And it's not an ordinary enchantment, it's an enchantment that can kill Xiao Hei.

Gao Tang took a deep breath, Xiao Hei died well.When he returned to the capital, he would find any excuse to compensate Xiao Lu.Or...make her a thicker cloak.It must be useful for flying in the sky in winter.

Hmm, not a bad idea.The corners of Gao Tang's lips were pursed into a single word, but there seemed to be a little smile in his eyes.

What is Lao Gao thinking?Are they just floating in the sky?Lu Zhen frowned, and took out the only cold cake left in her purse.

It will be gone after eating.Lu Zhen thought for a while, gritted her teeth and broke the cold cake into two halves, carefully comparing them in the afterglow of the setting sun, and handed the slightly larger piece to Gao Tang.

Gao Tang had no reason, took it and put it in his mouth to chew slowly.

The cook in Lu's mansion is not bad, the cold cake is delicious, and the roast chicken is even better.When he returned to the capital, he wanted his own cook to learn how to do it too.

Lu Zhen looked down at the cold cake in her hand, broke off half of it and put it in her purse, chewed the remaining half and ate it slowly.

It's rare for Gao Tang not to show an impatient expression, "You can't go without food and drink after a while. Besides, the little half you left is not enough to fit between your teeth."

"It's for Mu Xiang and Ake." Lu Zhen smiled sweetly, "It's not an easy task to go to Yuyang Temple to get the blood of the dead. I'll leave them a cold cake to relieve their fatigue."

Can cold cakes relieve fatigue?Gao Tang waved his hand, "You can do whatever you say."

Lu Zhen stared at Prince Wu's mansion for a moment, and said, "Your lord doesn't seem to notice anything, and he doesn't see any chaos inside. Maybe the magician who set up the barrier isn't in the mansion."

Gao Tang raised his chin and pointed to Wu Wangfu, "His enchantment... can it be broken?"

Lu Zhen lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "It can be broken or it can't be broken. Who knows who the lord wants to defend against? My hand is about to be broken by him, what should he do if he tells His Majesty a story about me? He was already fined for one day." Annual salary, if it is punished again, I will really have no face to tell people that I am a person with serious errands."

He also had a share in punishing Xiao Lu's salary.Gao Tang twitched his brows, "A year goes by in the blink of an eye. Just relax. This year's new gown, Wu Dewei, is covered." After a pause, he added: "There is also a cloak."

There is no way to wear the red cloak!Lu Zhen took a deep breath and tried to force a smile, "Thank you, my lord."

"No need to thank you." Gao Tang straightened his back, "You just have to do your job well."

To put it nicely, it's an errand, but to put it bluntly, it's a broken reminder.The corners of Lu Zhen's lips were curved, and there was an imperceptible bitterness in her smile, "I will do my best."

When the two of them were talking, Mu Xiang and A Ke flew close.

Ake's eyes brightened, and he shook the small porcelain bottle in his hand, "Your Excellency, look, the little one has brought back the blood." This flight was still not enjoyable.Just fly around again.

Stop showing off this thing.Gao Tang nodded slightly, and said to Lu Zhen: "Everyone is here, let's go down."

Lu Zhen and Mu Xiang collected the branches, and the four of them stood in front of the gate of King Wu's Mansion.Just as Gao Tang was about to tell Ake to knock on the door, Lu Zhen released the snail essence from the snail.

"There are many goblins." Lu Zhen said to Gao Tang with a smile.

What does it mean that multiple goblins appear to be crowded?This sounds a bit strange.Gao Tang didn't delve into it, and gave Ake a wink.Ake knocked on the door.

The tall vermilion lacquer gate opened a gap, and the guards looked Ake up and down, before he asked.Ake took out a tall and elegant greeting card and handed it to him, "Commander Wu Dewei asked to see you."

The Yan people accepted the greeting card and closed the door.After waiting for a while, the door opened again, and the guards ushered in four people and one demon, "My lord is waiting for you in the study." As he spoke, he glanced at the snail spirit walking at the end.If the rumors are correct, this is Miss Lu Wu's house elf.

Tsk tsk, it also has two eyes and one nose, looks like a human being.

The snail spirit remained calm and looked at him.Don't look at him as a man from Wu Wang's mansion, but he has never seen a goblin.Just let him see.Anyway, it doesn't look bad.

At the door of the study, there was a little yellow door singing at the door, Song Xiao said: "Come in."

The small yellow door pushed open the wooden door, and invited Gao Tang and others to enter.

There was no lamp in the room, and most of Song Xiao's face was hidden in the darkness, but his eyes were very bright.Gao Tang only took one look at him and couldn't help being stunned.

Perhaps it was because King Wu was getting older, his cheeks were not as plump as before, and he looked very similar to Emperor Yuanhe.

No wonder he was named Xiaozi.Gao Tang suddenly understood why Emperor Yuanhe looked at King Wu differently.It can even be said that besides the prince, he is the prince who is most liked by Emperor Yuanhe.

After seeing the ceremony, Song Xiao ordered someone to show Gao Tang and Lu Zhen a seat.Young maidservants came in one after another holding refreshments in their hands, and the aroma of tea mixed with desserts filled the study room.Lu Zhen couldn't help swallowing her saliva.She was so hungry that her heart was on her back.But... I can't be full just by eating snacks.I don't know if the prince can keep the meal, and how the chef's skills are.She wants to try it!
The maids put down their refreshments and filed out.Song Xiao took a sip of tea, and asked casually, "The high-ranking envoy is from the capital?"

Gao Tang nodded yes.

"Is father in good health?" Song Xiao frowned, "A while ago, father said in a letter that he had lost his appetite."

"Recently, I've been strong." Gao Tang patiently chatted with Song Xiao, "Your Majesty may have accumulated depression because of Her Royal Highness's affairs. The imperial physician gave Your Majesty a prescription to relieve liver qi, and the weather is also cold. Yes, Your Majesty feels better. I have used too much food." He took out the letter written by Emperor Yuanhe and handed it over with both hands, "This is from your Majesty's orders to you."

Song Xiao nodded, put the letter on the table, and turned his gaze to Lu Zhen, "The story of Miss Lu Wu has been spread everywhere, even I have heard about it."

The corners of Lu Zhen's lips curled up, "My lord really upset me. It's all just the people's absurd praise."

Song Xiao laughed haha, "It's not absurd praise. Not only did you take in the ghosts from Wuming Mountain, but you also sent down the Yasha who can read. You are worthy of being Zhenren Pei's disciple."

King Wu is an out-and-out smiling tiger.Lu Zhen accompanied her with a smiling face, and dealt with it carefully.

"I heard that the capital got away with a felon." Song Xiao suppressed his smile, and his expression became dignified, "A warlock?"

Gao Tang said seriously: "Yes, there is another accomplice, rescue him from the capital. Wu Dewei is trying his best to track down his whereabouts." He looked at Song Xiao with unusually deep eyes, "It is very likely that he fled to Suzhou."
