My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 726

Before Liu Mingzhi knocked on the door, the door of the palace quietly opened and a gray-haired old man walked out.

Although the old man's hair was white and gray, he was meticulously groomed. He was restrained casually with a wooden hairpin. Although he was already old, his complexion was ruddy and shiny, but his chin was extremely smooth.

Liu Mingzhi was a little dazed and immediately understood that this should be the eunuch who served Li Yugang from the palace when he was still the prince.

It's just that time flies, and they are all old.

"Old slave Li Ming has seen the princess, Sir Liu, and the generals!"

Li Ming was polite and polite, Liu Mingzhi and the others naturally didn't dare to put on airs, they hugged each other with a fist and said in return: "Young Liu Mingzhi has seen senior!"

Li Ming smiled and nodded, obviously very satisfied with the behavior of Liu Mingzhi and the others: "The prince has been waiting in the hall for a long time, and he specially sent an old slave here to welcome you all!"

"Thank you!"

Liu Mingzhi deliberately followed the third princess and followed Li Ming into Li Yugang's palace for the first time.

The third princess had obviously seen the layout of the palace and was not surprised at all. Young Master Liu and the others were a little surprised when they saw the bare layout in the palace.

Apart from a few rockeries and a martial arts arena, there is no other arrangement that can show the identity of Prince Li Yugang.

The simplicity can be said to be inferior to the courtyard of an ordinary rich man. If it weren't for the name Liu Mingzhi on the card, they really thought they had entered the wrong place!
"Third Princess, is this really Duke Ming's mansion?"

The third princess nodded with a dejected expression: "I can't believe it, right? When I first saw it, I couldn't believe it was the residence of a noble family. How about such a simple and elegant emperor?" Will it have something to do with the White Lotus Sect?"

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding? Three princesses, please be at ease!"

After passing through the corridors, everyone stopped before a large hall. Li Ming stopped outside the hall and said in a shrill voice: "My lord, the guests have arrived!"

"Yan'er, boy Liu, since you're here, you might as well come in and talk!"

Li Ming smiled lightly and nodded: "The old slave will leave, please!"

Liu Mingzhi tidied up his robes: "Ming Gong, I'm sorry for begging to see you!"

Song Qing stopped Liu Mingzhi: "Third brother, since entering the mansion, neither the guards nor the servants have seen him. Is there any deceit? Be careful!"

Liu Mingzhi nodded indifferently, and showed a wry smile: "I'm afraid things might be easier than we thought, who knows for sure!"

"Third Princess, is this also the case when you came last time?"

Song Qing was still worried and had to ask the third princess.

The third princess also shook her head blankly: "The last time I came to the emperor's mansion, there were more than 300 guards, and forty or fifty maidservants shuttled like a cloud, so it's not as desolate as it is now."

Liu Mingzhi signaled the two of them not to worry: "Brother, you and the brothers wait outside, and I will go in with the third princess!"

Song Qing hesitated for a while, then nodded calmly: "Okay, be careful in everything, if something goes wrong, throw a cup as a sign!"

"Three princesses please!"

The third princess grabbed Liu Mingzhi's arm nervously: "Liu Mingzhi, I'm afraid, why do I feel so weird?"

Liu Mingzhi hadn't spoken yet and Li Yugang's voice came: "Yan'er, silly boy, what are you afraid of? The emperor can still hurt you, so come in at ease and have a cup of tea. The best Jinshan Yunwu is usually not even willing by the emperor." Drink a sip!"

Liu Mingzhi let the third princess drag her arms and walked in. The hall was covered with expensive but quaint carpets.

Conciseness reveals elegance.

Li Yugang knelt in front of a small table and boiled tea. As soon as the two of them entered the hall, they smelled a refreshing tea fragrance that permeated the entire hall.

"Uncle!"

"Ming Gong!"

Li Yugang raised his head and nodded gently, covered the lid of the porcelain pot in his hand and placed it on the table.

With a light smile, he pointed to the futons on both sides: "Sit down!"

"Thank you Minggong!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Li Yugang poured a cup of tea for each of them: "What is supposed to come has finally come. The old man has been waiting for these days. I always hope that this day will be slower, but the sun rises and the sunset is the time of day. No matter how slow it is, how slow can it be?" where?"

Liu Mingzhi picked up a cup of slightly hot tea and blew on it: "Jinshan Yunwu, a gentleman in tea, Minggong is kind-hearted, and this junior admires him so much!"

The third princess held the teacup and stared at the two without saying a word, wondering what she was thinking!
Li Yugang was depressed for a long while, and when the temperature of the tea was moderate, he drank it in one gulp: "Staying calm in the face of danger is just self-consolation, it's better to say that you know that you can't escape and accept your fate!"

Liu Mingzhi stared blankly at Li Yugang's indifferent expression as he put the clean tea on the table: "It's beyond the junior's expectation, did Minggong admit it?"

Li Yugang looked at the desolate scenery outside the palace with a complicated expression, sighed silently, stared at the pretty face of the third princess for a while, and smiled slightly: "There are so many spies, and they penetrate every corner. In order to pave the way for you, brother, I am really willing." Next book!"

This time, it was Liu Mingzhi's turn to be puzzled, why he could not hear what many people said, could it be that he was the only one kept in the dark about something?
Quietly glanced at the third princess Liu Mingzhi on the opposite side, his heart sank, and a bad premonition came to his heart again.

"Ming Gong, why do you choose the path that you shouldn't take after the three thousand roads? Can you explain the reason to the boy?"

Li Yugang added a small piece of firewood to the small stove, and the flame suddenly became more vigorous.

Faintly heard the sound of boiling water.

Although the sound is small, it is already a distinctive note compared to the extremely quiet hall.

Li Yugang looked at Liu Mingzhi with a complicated expression: "Ten years of planning, hard work and a dream, the old man has never calculated that it will be destroyed in the hands of a little girl named Ruyi in a brothel. The reason is because of ten taels of silver. Ten taels of silver ruined the old man's ten-year plan, I really don't know how to express it!"

Liu Mingzhi sank his hand holding the teacup: "If you want to say something about Jiang E, you just hit and miss, do you believe it? I didn't expect that the boy would dig out a shocking secret to avenge Ruyi for his own selfishness. If you want to blame, you can only blame good luck and trick people!"

"If you didn't have that list, would you have guessed this matter on the old man?"

"To be honest, no, I didn't even think about the tax and bank matters, but I didn't expect to get so many unexpected things from the girl in the Misty Rain Pavilion, and I didn't expect that apart from the Queen of Jin, Jiangnan's suppression of bandits would be tomorrow. It’s just too much of a coincidence for a play that I directed and acted in myself.”

Li Yugang sneered: "A wise man is bound to make a mistake if he thinks about it. A brothel is a success and a brothel is a failure. He only wants to use a brothel to cover up people's eyes and ears, but he doesn't think that a brothel is also full of people, and there are a lot of people from different schools of thought. After all, we still haven't caught up!"

Liu Mingzhi picked up the teapot and poured tea for Li Yugang: "Ming Gong is sitting and drinking tea so indifferently today, I guess it's not because of the boy!"

Li Yugang's expression was indifferent, and his eyes showed a trace of longing for memories.

"The moment Yan'er appeared in the palace, the old man knew that he had lost. He couldn't fight! He couldn't fight before, and he still can't fight now!"
