The king is the guide of the ministers

That's extraordinary!

Thinking of this, Xiao Huzi smiled naively.

Liu Ci glanced at him angrily: "Little Huzi, what are you laughing at? Why haven't you followed your adoptive father recently?"

It seems that since Liu Ci recognized Liu Wenbo as his adoptive father, Xiao Huzi has become his personal servant.If he remembered correctly, Little Huzi seemed to have been serving Liu Wenbo all along.

But seeing the little Huzi showing his white teeth, he said with a smile: "Master Taifu asked the little Huzi to stay with you, so that you can be your companion."

Hearing this, Liu Ci's heart warmed up, he smiled slightly, and asked: "Little Huzi, how old are you this year?"

Little Huzi blushed slightly, moved his eyes slightly, and replied, "Eighteen."

"Then how many years have you followed your adoptive father?"

"Not long, only two years." Little Huzi seemed unwilling to be asked about himself by Liu Ci, so he changed the subject and said, "My lord, the weather is fine today, why don't you go to the street and relax?" ?”

Liu Ci looked at the horrific graffiti on the desk, nodded, and said, "Alright, let's go, let's go for a walk outside together. Maybe we can meet some good luck."

The bright sunshine does have the effect of dispelling the depression in the heart.

Liu Ci stretched comfortably: "Little Huzi, did foster father say when he will return home today?"

The little tiger laughed and said: "The Tai Tu lord didn't say that. However, the Tai Tu lord said that after the three princes returned to the court, the princes all studied hard. So the Tai Tu lord should not come back too early."

Talking about the little tiger winking at Liu Ci, Liu Ci naturally understood the implication of his words, it doesn't matter if they hang out for a while longer.

But when Xiao Huzi mentioned the third prince, it made Liu Cihao's mood which was not easy to recover a bit depressed.

It's been three days.

Since the farewell that day, Liu Ci seemed to have lost the news of Xuanyuan Lingye.Originally, he would come to find him, but he didn't.What's even more strange is that Liu Wenbo didn't say a word about Xuanyuan Lingye.

He glanced sideways at Xiao Huzi thoughtfully, and asked, "Did foster father say anything else? About the third prince?"

The little tiger thought for a while, and said: "Master Tai Tu didn't say anything, but I heard Uncle Wei said that Mr. Tai Tu was summoned by the emperor in the palace yesterday. After a long time, Mr. Tai Tu When he came back, his complexion was particularly ugly. However, Lord Tai Tuo then went to Luochen Hall."

"Where is Luochen Hall?" Liu Ci felt that there must be something in it after listening to it.

But the little tiger looked surprised: "Young master, don't you know? The Luochen Palace is the residence of the third prince!"

Liu Ci frowned and whispered, "What does foster father want Xuanyuan Lingye to do..."

Little Huzi scratched his head: "I don't know about that. Hey! Young Master, let's go, there are still several hours before dinner, and there are many places to visit!" Beside Liu Ci, look left and right.

"Young master! Young master! Look, there are mask sellers over there!"

Liu Ci looked along where the little tiger pointed, and indeed saw a small stall with many weird masks on display.He also had a whim for a while, so he and Xiao Huzi walked towards the stall.

I saw an old man with white beard sitting there with a carving knife in one hand and a piece of wood in the other, and he was carving intently.There are a few more that have been engraved and are waiting to be colored.The old man didn't raise his head to look at the person, and said indifferently: "If you like it, take it."

But Liu Ci picked up the unpainted mask and asked: "Old man, I like this, do you want to sell it?"

The old man stopped what he was doing and looked up at Liu Ci, his eyes were very sharp.But seeing him sizing up Liu Ci from the beginning to the end, he slowly said: "This is not finished yet."

Liu Ci lifted up the mask with a smile, and said, "It's okay."

The old man smiled indifferently, pointed to the colorful masks beside him and said, "Aren't those bad?"

"Fine is fine, but I like this better."

After only two sentences, Liu Ci felt that this old man was different from ordinary small traders.The old man didn't seem to care about whether there was any business at all, and the old man's eyes were full of wisdom.

In the end, Liu Ci still bought the unpainted mask.When he was leaving, he saw a thief putting his hand into someone else's clothes...

Liu Ci raised his eyebrows, such a vulgar trick, he dared to play against him!

So Liu Ci strode forward, strangled the thief's wrist, and said with a smile, "Brother, what are you doing with your hand in someone else's money bag?"

The thief who was caught in the act retorted with a red face, "Who...who said I was stealing!"

Hearing the noise, the stolen person turned his head to look at Liu Ci and that wretched man: "You..."

Seeing Liu Ci throwing a black gold-rimmed money bag to the man, he said, "Uncle, be careful next time you go out. Also, if it is not necessary, don't bring such money with you!"

The man Liu Ci called uncle looked at Liu Ci in astonishment: "Little brother, what's your name?"

Liu Ci didn't like to casually tell strangers her name, and the man in front of her looked at her with some unknown meaning, as if she was looking at another person through him.

"It's just a little effort, uncle don't need to keep it in mind." Liu Ci responded lightly and was about to leave.Unexpectedly, the people beside the man stopped him.

"Little brother, why reject people thousands of miles away, I don't mean any harm, I just want to thank little brother."

The man waved his hand to signal the attendants beside him to step back.Walking towards Liu Ci step by step, the little tiger saw this, but stepped forward to block Liu Ci: "My son said you don't have to thank him, so you don't have to thank him."

The man smiled, and said to Liu Ci gently: "Little brother, am I that scary? Also, I'm not an uncle. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xuanyuan."

"..."

Brother Xuanyuan? !

Uncle, you look like you are almost fifty, you are older than my adoptive father, and you want me to call you big brother, this is not the way to take advantage of others!

only!He asked me to call him...Xuanyuan...!

Liu Ci frowned and looked at the man carefully, but found a little resemblance between this man and Xuanyuan Lingye between his brows.Could this person be a relative of Xuanyuan Lingye?Uncle or?

Anyway, it shouldn't be his father!

Because Liu Ci remembered that Liu Wenbo had mentioned that Jun Shang was old and seemed to be in poor health.

Since he was related to the royal family, Liu Ci naturally couldn't reject people too much. If he accidentally made this Uncle Xuanyuan angry, he, a commoner, would not be the one who was unlucky.

Thinking of this, Liu Ci could only smile lightly, and said: "It was really just a matter of raising your hand, no matter who was stolen, I will do the same thing. So you really don't have to take it to heart. That... I still have something to do, so I won't take it to heart." Too much talk!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Ci took Xiao Huzi and left quickly.

But the man kept looking at Liu Ci's back until he was too far away to see him, and he never moved a step.

Gradually, after the man came back to his senses, he sighed: "It's really too similar... too similar... If it wasn't for the wrong age, I really thought it would be him..."

"Your Majesty, do you want to bring him back?"

"No. Don't disturb him...Go and find out who he is first. By the way, starting from Liu Wenbo, I think it must be related to Liu Wenbo."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The man tightly held the purse in his hand, with a smile of determination hanging on his lips: "No matter who you are, you must be bestowed by the gods. It seems that the fortune teller is really good, and it will be easy to get out of the palace as soon as you walk." There will be surprises."

"Your Majesty, the servant who was with that young master just now, I remember, seems to be following Taifu Liu." One of the eunuch-like people whispered.

Hearing this, the man snorted and said, "I know that Liu Wenbo must be playing tricks on me! Go back to the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A towering glazed tile wall separates the two worlds.

When the spies presented all the collected information to the king, the majestic but exhausted man smiled...

"Liu Wenbo, Liu Wenbo, do you really think you can fight against Gu? You couldn't fight before, and you can't fight now! Even if it's a similar-looking substitute, it can only belong to Gu!"

He closed the memorial to be reviewed heavily, and the man shouted with an order: "Come here! Tell Taifu Liu to enter the palace!"

Regardless of the fact that the box has already passed the gate control time, he saw that the palace gate was wide open, and the fast rider shot out like an arrow, heading straight to the Taifu's mansion.

"Master Taifu has an urgent order!"

Liu Wenbo, who had just undressed and lay down on the bed, got up with a solemn expression, thinking to himself: What happened in such a rush late at night?

Hearing the movement, Liu Ci put down the book in his hand, thought for a while, put on his clothes and walked out the door, only to see Liu Wenbo hurrying in his official uniform.

When he was about to step forward and ask, he suddenly saw clearly the people who came to meet Liu Wenbo, and one of them had a very kind face.Thinking about it carefully, I actually met him on the street today.It's the person next to that strange uncle.But, why did this person come to find his adoptive father late at night?

He frowned thoughtfully.

Liu Ci carefully hid his body in the dark, watching Liu Wenbo follow the man out of the mansion...

"Little Huzi, do you know why foster father goes out late at night?"

Little Huzi said: "An urgent order from the palace."
