Black-bellied Prince: Princess Ding is 13 years old

Chapter 21 The Palace Lord Appears (1)
"Young master, we're here." Li turned around and said to Bai Yu.

"Is Tie Mu Tang in this gambling house?" Bai Yu asked.

"Back to the young master, it's under the gambling house." After finishing speaking, Li walked to a peony flower pot in the courtyard, reached out and turned the flower pot, and suddenly a hole in the ground appeared in the courtyard, which was six feet square. "I will lead the way for the young master"

Bai Yu had seen the secret passages in the general's mansion before, so she was not surprised by the secret room in front of her.Even so, after entering the basement, she was still amazed by the layout of Tiemutang!Not to mention the luminous pearls in the passages of the basement, but the layout is very delicate. If you don't follow the steps led by Li, you don't know what will happen. Moreover, Bai Yu can even see people on the side going everywhere. Not far from one intersection, there seems to be another fork that diverges from the intersection. I don't know if it is a magic trick to deceive people's eyes, or a real intersection, or both.

After following Li and walking around for several times, I finally arrived at a hall. Although it was underground, the hall was brightly lit, so bright!Many people have already stood in the hall, men, women, masked, separated on both sides of the hall.At the very head of the hall, there is a very large and domineering wooden chair. Although it is only carved, it does not reduce its momentum at all.

When the people in the hall saw Li and Bai Yu coming in, they had different expressions.Bai Yu knew what everyone was thinking, so she walked straight to the end of the hall without saying anything, turned around, and sat on the wooden chair.Li also followed and stood aside.

No one spoke in the hall, it was silent.Bai Yu was not in a hurry, but just quietly looked at everyone in front of her.Everyone was startled by her calm look.It's not a problem for the general to suddenly appoint the young master to take over Tiemutang, but this person is a young boy, not to mention weak, let alone he has any martial arts skills, so let such a kid take over Tiemutang?What is the general thinking in his heart?

Finally, a man in black couldn't hold his breath, and spoke first: "Li, the general asked you to bring this kid to be our young master? Is it true?"

Bai Yu saw that someone finally spoke, and before he could speak, Li on the side returned, "Mo, don't be unreasonable to the young master! The young master is appointed by the general, and no one is allowed to disobey the order."

The man in black might be in awe of Situ Ming. Although he still doubted Bai Yu as the young master, he didn't speak again. Everyone looked at Bai Yu appreciatively, and another woman in red said, "Since the general chooses the young master Leading Tie Mutang, the young master must be very skilled, I wonder which hermit the young master will teach?" He seemed very respectful.

"Hong Suo, you are disrespectful." Li covered his face, but could feel the anger on his face, and said while staring at the woman in red.

Bai Yu couldn't see the dissatisfaction of the crowd, so she didn't get angry.Just as he was about to speak, a chubby man stood up and said loudly: "Huh! We worked our lives for Tie Mu Tang, that is to respect the general's reputation. Now, the general sent a young boy to be the young master. I Wang Meng refuses to accept it!" His tone was not kind, and he looked at Bai Yu who was sitting in his seat with a very contemptuous expression.

This is the third time, this is the third time that Bai Yu has been questioned by others, with a sneer on his face, and before Li can speak, a clone of Qi Dissipating, everyone is shocked, thinking how one person would disappear like that.Before he could react, the boy who disappeared on the chair just now suddenly appeared less than three feet in front of everyone.Standing in front of the crowd with their hands behind their backs, before everyone came out of their surprise, they found that Wang Meng, who was still talking just now, still had a look of contempt on his face, but the difference was that Wang Meng was frozen at this time, covered with a thick blanket. The ice cubes are sealed inside.Unbelievable was written in his eyes.After a moment of silence, everyone knelt down and held their hands, "See the young master." The voice resounded throughout the hall.

Bai Yu knew that the crowd didn't dare to have any doubts anymore, so she jumped back to the chair and looked at the kneeling crowd.

"Wang Meng, right? Carry it out. After three days, it will be unsealed. Then let him find me."

Someone in the hall immediately carried Wang Meng out.Seeing that everyone was finally able to calm down and get down to business, Bai Yu said, "Li, tell me what's going on recently?"

Although Li knew that the second lady was very powerful, she did not expect that the second lady possessed such supernatural powers. After hearing her words, "Reporting to the young master, the branch of Tiemutang recently reported that there is a golden-faced man in the rivers and lakes who is investigating I, Tie Mu Tang, don't know what my intentions are. This person's martial arts methods are very strange, unlike any sect in the vast mainland; and the Diming Palace has always been led by the second palace master. Recently their palace master appeared. When smooth chords come to my eternal joy, I don’t know if they are kind or not.”

After hearing this, Bai Yu said: "Continue to send people to investigate the Master of the Diming Palace, and report immediately if there is anything unusual. As for this golden-masked man, if he appears in my Ironwood site again, let me know immediately. I will meet him personally for a while. "

Seeing that Bai Yu handles affairs with priority and insight, is wise, and has the demeanor of a general, everyone forgot for a moment that the young master is still a child under eleven.

After Li took the order, he asked everyone what their report was, and they only mentioned the arrival of Shunchang and Xianli, but seeing that there was nothing important, Li asked everyone to leave.

Bai Yu knew that Li had something important to report in private, waiting for him to dismiss everyone.

Sure enough, "Li still has something important to tell the young master. Three years ago, the head of a branch of Tiemutang took people to Shunchang to inquire about potential spies in Yongle. As a result, all his brothers died, and he had nothing to do." There was no trace until yesterday, when we received a message secretly sent to our Tiemutang, which confirmed that it was Kui who suddenly lost the news three years ago. The prime minister is Ning Zhongyong, my prime minister, and Kui means to tell the general to be careful about Ning Zhongyong; but today in the court, Shunchang's prince did not show up. I don't know what conspiracy Shunchang has."

After hearing Li's report, Bai Yu didn't speak immediately. She didn't understand the current situation in Yongle, and she didn't care.But now that she has promised Situ Ming to be the young master of Tiemutang, the first thing she needs to do is to understand this era under the political situation. "Tomorrow, I will enter the palace with the general, and I will observe carefully. By the way, I want Tie Mutang's first-hand information on all the political situations in Yongle. It should be concise. Send it to me when you are ready."

"Subordinates take orders." Li immediately went to prepare.
