Liu Jibei first glanced at Ge Cheng, who was looking at him eagerly, and then said to Ge Du: "I heard that you are worried about the marriage, so I came here. For no other reason, I just hope that you can do your best in this matter.

Meager strength." At this point, he paused, then smiled a little sheepishly: "However, since it is a business, of course there is a condition."

Katsuragi said coldly: "It turns out that you eavesdropped on our conversation. In this case, I can't help you leave."

As he spoke, he made gestures, as if he was about to take action.

Liu Jibei took a few steps back, waved his hands again and again, and said very sincerely: "Businesses are not done in a humane and righteous way, so why bother shouting and killing before we even say a few words? If you don't want to talk, just leave."

Ge Du coughed suddenly, and then said to Katsuragi: "Second brother, don't be reckless, let him stay for a while." Then he said to Liu Jibei: "Tell me your conditions first, and then we can discuss the business."

Katsuragi said angrily: "What else is there to do with him? You can do it, but let him give me his eyes first!"

Even so, Ge Du had spoken first and he did not dare to disobey. He could only stare at Liu Jibei fiercely with one eye. Although his body was full of energy, he did not have the courage to take action.

Liu Jibei ignored Ge Cheng, but said to Ge Du: "Actually, it's nothing. I just hope that Mr. Ge can return the secret book of "The Trail of the Imitation Bird" to Jiachanlinti after the matter is completed. That's all."

Gedu laughed "haha" and said: "It seems that Jiachanlinti did not save your life in vain. Not long after, you thought of doing something for him." When he said this, he stopped laughing and said solemnly.

He turned to Liu Jibei and said, "If you can really bring about the peace between Ku Moxi and Northern Zhou Dynasty, Shanren will help you."

Ge Jue said anxiously from the side: "Father, please wait. Liu Jibei and Jiachanlinti have never been trustworthy. My child once suffered a big loss from them in Baiyun Mountain. Please think again, father."

Ge Du responded calmly: "I have made up my mind, Jue'er doesn't need to say any more."

Liu Jibei didn't expect Ge Du to agree so readily. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Since Mr. Ge is so willing, we have made it a deal. We need to strike while the iron is hot. Can Mr. Ge enter the palace with me now?"

Ge Du looked at Ge Jue and Ge Cheng, and saw that both of them looked disapproving, so he asked Liu Jibei: "How does Shanren know whether you will set a trap to lure Shanren away, and then report it to the police?"

A rib-breaking feud?"

Liu Jibei muttered: "I didn't expect that the dignified master of the Jingjue Sect would be so unconfident!"

Ge Du frowned and sighed: "What you said is not unreasonable. There is really no place in the world that mountain people cannot go to. Okay, since you have said this, let's go!"

Ge Jue's mouth moved, but seeing his resolute attitude, he didn't say anything more. Instead, Ge Cheng said from the side: "Brother, why are you so anxious? In my opinion, it's better to let Liu Jibei go away first.

Wouldn’t it be better to find out what the emperor has to say and come back to discuss with us later?”

Ge Du waved his hand and said: "No need to go to so much trouble. You and Jue'er stay here and listen to your orders. I will follow him to see the emperor."

Katsuragi said helplessly: "Then you must be more careful." After saying that, he glanced at Liu Jibei again, turned back to Ge Du and said: "If you encounter trouble, you must protect yourself first, and then make long-term plans."

Ge Du nodded, walked towards Liu Jibei, and said calmly: "Let's go!"

Liu Jibei smiled, stood beside Ge Du, and walked out of the courtyard with him towards the palace.

Because Liu Jibei got the support of the Queen Mother Chi Nu, he opened the way and entered the palace smoothly. Ge Du saw that he looked like he was familiar with the road, and couldn't help being envious. He wanted to ask him several times what the brand was.

, However, after much deliberation, he suppressed his curiosity and allowed Liu Jibei to lead him all the way.

It was already the third watch. Liu Jibei asked the eunuch on duty in the palace and found out that Yu Wenyong was still resting in the Greenhouse Hall, so he led Ge Du towards the Greenhouse Hall.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Greenhouse Hall, he happened to bump into He Quan. When he saw Liu Jibei and a man standing at the entrance of the hall, he asked in surprise: "It's so late, why are you here?"

As He Quan spoke, he looked at Ge Du carefully. It was obvious that he had seen that the person Liu Jibei brought was very unusual. Although he was just standing there casually, he had the qualities of a master.

So, after he finished asking Liu Jibei, he added, "Who is this?"

Liu Jibei smiled and first replied: "Where is the emperor at this time? I have something important to see him." Then he looked at Ge Du and sighed: "This man has a great background. I wonder if my father-in-law has heard of it."

Jingjuemen'?"

He Quan was stunned, nodded, looked at Ge Du and asked: "When the Za family was studying art, they heard that there was a mysterious sect in the Western Regions, which was formed by the descendants of the disappeared Jingjue country. Could this be it?"

An extremely refined person?"

Liu Jibei smiled and said: "I didn't expect that my father-in-law has such extensive knowledge. Tell the truth to my father-in-law, this is Ge Du, the leader of the Jingjue Sect." Then, he introduced to Ge Du: "This father-in-law is named He Quan.

, but the emperor’s personal attendant.”

Ge Du rolled his eyelids and nodded towards He Quan, but did not speak and maintained his usual proud attitude.

Seeing Ge Du's arrogant attitude at this time, He Quan couldn't help but feel a little angry. After glancing at him with a slightly provocative look, he said to Liu Jibei: "The emperor is not in the Greenhouse Palace at the moment, and he doesn't know why. He insists on being in Chengdu tonight."

Rest in the Ming Palace, no, the Za family just came back from the Cheng Ming Palace and want to give the Emperor his favorite Zuo Zhuan."

When Liu Jibei heard this, he immediately said: "In that case, father-in-law, go and get it quickly. I and Mr. Ge are waiting here. We will go to see the emperor together in a while."

He Quan nodded, then hurriedly opened the palace door and walked in.

Ge Du saw that He Quan seemed to have some prejudice against him, so he asked Liu Jibei in a low voice: "Did Shanren offend him just now? Why is he so cold to Shanren and doesn't even say hello?"

Liu Jibei was amused in his heart and thought to himself: That's why people are so cold to you. It's obvious that you relied on your own status and ignored them.

Although he was dissatisfied with Ge Du's question, since the two of them had business to do at this time, he still smiled warmly and replied: "You must have misunderstood. Eunuch He treats everyone like this."

, you don’t have to take it too seriously.”

Ge Du said "Oh", lowered his head and dusted himself off, and stopped talking.

Not long after, He Quan came out with a package and said to Liu Jibei: "The Za family has got everything, let's go!"

Liu Jibei winked at Ge Du, and then followed He Quan, asking as he walked: "Does the emperor sleep alone every night?"

He Quan smiled and said: "That's not possible! However, the emperor has a lot of things to do recently, so he sleeps alone most of the time."

Liu Jibei sighed: "I heard that the emperor has always been very restrained. Even the queen Li Ezi and the concubines in the harem are only about ten people?"

He Quan nodded and said: "From ancient times to the present, if we say that the emperor who knows the most about temperance is our emperor, I don't know how many princes and ministers hope to marry their daughters into the palace, but we

The emperor has never let go, and the people in the harem are still the same people as when he was the Duke of Lu."

Liu Jibei glanced at Ge Du in the night, and when he saw the melancholy on the latter's face, he sighed: "Doesn't the emperor have any intention of enriching the harem?"

He Quan suddenly stopped, looked at Liu Jibei with some confusion, and asked: "What's wrong with you tonight? Why are you so interested in talking about the emperor's family?"

Liu Jibei smiled and said: "To be honest, I came down to see the emperor tonight to propose marriage."

He Quan was stunned for a while and then said: "Although the emperor regards you as a confidant, you cannot be completely unreasonable. Therefore, the Zajia advises you to give up this idea as soon as possible, otherwise, it may make the emperor unhappy.

"

Liu Jibei sighed: "I've already come, why should I give it a try?"

He Quan saw that he was resolute, so instead of trying to persuade him, he held a lantern in one hand and a package in the other, and continued to lead the way towards Chengming Hall.

When he arrived at the entrance of Chengming Hall, He Quan stopped and saw Ge Du and them leaving a little further, so he secretly said to Liu Jibei: "Do you know who lived here before?"

Liu Jibei shook his head, so He Quan whispered in his ear: "Hu Xi, that is Murong Gu Yue, he used to live here."

Liu Jibei was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "When the emperor comes here, does he want to see things and miss people?"

He Quan smiled mysteriously and sighed: "The Za family doesn't know either, but since you left during the day, the emperor came here and said he wanted to take a look, and stayed for a long time. After coming out of here,

I didn’t expect that he would come again at night and stay here, which is really strange.”

Liu Jibei asked again: "So, what did the emperor do inside during the day?"

He Quan shook his head and sighed: "Our family had something to do at that time and we were not with the emperor. After the Za family finished doing things, the emperor happened to come out. However, the Za family looked at the emperor a little strangely."

Liu Jibei said "Oh" and asked doubtfully: "What's weird?"

He Quan sighed: "Where it is, the Zajia family can't tell for a while. Wait a while, you see the emperor, and you can taste it yourself!"

While talking, He Quan saw Ge Du leaning over, so he looked at him with some boredom, then closed his mouth and knocked on the palace door. Then he heard someone calling inside, so he opened it and walked in.
