Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Su Yu thought to himself: Yuanma Temple is far away in the suburbs and rarely has contact with the imperial city.

Why did this clerk suddenly come here?
After all, in this seemingly peaceful imperial city, any unusual behavior may hide hidden secrets.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the knife handle at his waist, and his body tensed up slightly, ready to deal with any emergency that might arise.

The clerk of Yuanma Temple obviously noticed Su Yu's hawk-like vigilant gaze, which seemed to penetrate his heart and made him feel a chill involuntarily.

At this moment, the clerk of Yuanma Temple subconsciously shrank his neck slightly, like a frightened quail, trying to hide himself.

Now the clerks in Yuanma Temple were filled with anxiety and uneasiness. After all, the sixth-rank Lanling guard in front of him exuded a majestic and cold aura, which made him feel in awe.

But when he thought about the mission he was shouldering, which involved important matters, the clerk of Yuanma Temple gritted his teeth.

The hands that were tightly grasping the corner of the clothes turned slightly white due to the force.

Finally, he mustered up all his courage, as if he had used up all his strength, and took a step forward.

This step was a bit heavy, but also carried a bit of determination.

The clerk of Yuanma Temple raised his head and tried hard to look Su Yu in the eye.

Although there was still a trace of fear in his eyes, there was more of a determination to give it all.

He knew that he had no way out and had to convey what he wanted to say, even if he was facing such a majestic and vigilant Su Yu.

"This is the token issued by the Queen herself. Please give it and this letter of resignation to my wife Yu'er."

Su Yu couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this, "Miss Yu'er is the female official beside the Queen. Now you say that she is your wife, can you show me the proof?"

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the atmosphere between the clerk of Yuanma Temple and Su Yu was particularly solemn.

After a moment's silence, the clerk from Enma Temple slowly reached his hand into his arms.

The movements seemed a little slow, as if he was making a difficult decision.

There was a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in his eyes, and he glanced at Su Yu secretly.

Su Yu still had a stern expression, and his vigilant eyes never left him.

The clerk of Yuanma Temple took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and finally took out a pair of small jade earrings from his arms.

Under the sunlight, this pair of earrings sparkles with a warm and charming luster.

Jade has a delicate texture and a lush green color.

The carving craftsmanship is exquisite and you can tell at first glance that it is of great value.

At this moment, the clerk of Yuanma Temple held the earrings carefully, as if they were holding a rare treasure.

Then he slowly turned around and handed the earrings to Su Yu who was not far away.

The hands of the clerk at Yuanma Temple were shaking slightly, and his voice also had an imperceptible tremor.

"Guard Su, this... this is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it."

After the words fell, the clerks of Yuanma Temple nervously waited for Su Yu's reaction.

Su Yu, a sixth-rank Lanling guard who has always been upright, is now looking at the clerk of the Yuanma Temple who is openly bribing him.

The anger in my heart suddenly rose up.

He was deeply influenced by his family's values ​​of loyalty, righteousness, integrity and shame since childhood, and he hated this kind of bribery.

The usually cold and resolute face suddenly became even gloomier.

Su Yu's eyes shot towards the clerk of Yuanma Temple like sharp blades, and his lips trembled slightly.

He was going to scold loudly and give this ungrateful clerk from the Yuanma Temple a severe lesson in order to correct the atmosphere in the imperial city.

However, just when Su Yu was about to explode, the clerk of Yuanma Temple called out "Guard Su" like a soft but powerful hook, gently touching a string in Su Yu's heart, causing him to hesitate for a moment.

In this tense atmosphere, this call inexplicably carried a hint of earnestness and a request for help.

A trace of doubt flashed through Su Yu's mind: Why would this small clerk in Yuanma Temple take such a big risk to openly bribe?

Is there some unknown secret hidden behind him?

If we simply and rudely scold the other person just because of this small bribe, will we miss the opportunity to obtain an important clue?
The mission of family inheritance and the doubts in his heart at this moment intertwined and collided in Su Yu's heart.

The originally firm rebuke was stuck in his throat.

After about half a cup of tea, Su Yu calmed down and turned to look at his colleague beside him. Then he said solemnly, "Zhang Zhi, help me keep an eye on him. I'll go in and ask Miss Yu'er about the situation."

Zhang Zhi nodded and responded, "Brother Su, don't worry, I'm here and I can make sure everything is safe.

Leave this clerk to me, and you just need to go and come back quickly."

Then Su Yu stared at the clerk from Yuanma Temple in front of him, and the clerk hurriedly made a solemn promise upon seeing this.

His words were full of anxiety and sincerity, and his anxious expression seemed to tell that the matter was extremely urgent and could not be questioned.

His voice trembled slightly and his hands gestured unconsciously.

At the same time, the clerk from Yuanma Temple tried to dispel Su Yu's doubts with his words and actions.

Su Yu stared into the eyes of the clerk of Yuanma Temple, as if trying to find out the truth of his words from them.

After a fierce inner struggle, he finally slowly loosened his hand that was tightly gripping the sword.

This sword has accompanied Su Yu through countless storms and witnessed many moments of life and death. It is a symbol of his identity and responsibility.

At this moment, Su Yu solemnly handed the sword to Zhang Zhi with a steady and slow movement.

His eyes were full of reluctance and solemnity, as if he was performing a grand ceremony.

After handing over his sword, Su Yu looked at Zhang Zhi deeply and said in a firm and low voice: "Be sure to keep it well and don't make any mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi hurriedly took the sword with both hands and nodded vigorously.

Then he returned the look with the same firmness, indicating that he would live up to the trust.

Then Su Yu no longer hesitated, turned around resolutely, and walked towards the interior of the imperial city with steady and powerful steps.

Su Yu's figure appeared even taller under the tall and majestic gate of the imperial city. The sunlight shone on him, outlining his resolute outline.

Every step he took seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight.

It carries Su Yu's determination to explore the unknown and his adherence to his responsibilities.

He knew very well that what was waiting for him ahead might be a thick fog.

At this moment, Su Yu was ready to use his courage and wisdom to uncover the truth hidden behind.

He walked steadily along the central road of the imperial city's inner court, surrounded by towering palace walls.

The vermilion walls and golden glazed tiles complement each other, exuding the unique majesty and solemnity of the royal family.

Along the way, palace servants shuttled back and forth.

Everyone looked respectful and walked lightly, for fear of disturbing the quiet and solemn atmosphere.

When Su Yu walked to the Kunning Palace located in the middle of the inner court of the imperial city, he happened to see the female official Yu'er holding a medicine jar in her hand.
