Su Liang followed Gu Ling's gaze and looked at the crowded crowd on the street below, "Is there anyone suspicious?"

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Someone was looking at me just now."

Su Liang smiled when he heard this, "You are good-looking, of course some people will look at you."

Gu Ling could no longer see the shadows of Feng Ming and Zhu Zan. There were too many people. Lin Bojun arranged for soldiers to maintain order, clear the flow of people, and avoid accidents.

Ji Xiaoshu saw Ji Yuebai below and wanted to go find him, but saw Ji Yuebai carrying his young son through the crowd and coming to the restaurant.

"Brother! Brother!" Ji Yuebai's youngest son waved excitedly to Ji Xiaoshu.

Ji Xiaoshu ran down from upstairs, "Brother, you are here! Dad, why are you here? Let's go play!"

Ji Yuebai shook his head, "There are too many people right now, so don't go out."

Ji Xiaoshu thought that he had promised Gu Ling not to run out, so he looked outside and nodded helplessly, "Okay then." He laughed again, "Master bought me a beautiful lantern. Brother, come quickly. Give it to me."

You play!"

Duanmu Chen left the palace incognito. In order to avoid causing commotion, he made a low-key detour and went to Wanjia Restaurant. He originally wanted to bring his children out to have a lively atmosphere, but the Queen Mother was afraid that it would be unsafe in large numbers, so she kept the children in the palace.

"You two are quite leisurely, and you don't have to take care of the children by yourself. Where is Nuan Nuan?" Duan Mu Chen came in and looked for Gu Xiao Nuan.

Su Liang pointed to the next door, "It should be at Mr. Qin's place."

Duanmu Chen poured himself a glass of wine, picked it up and walked to the window. Looking at the bustling people and colorful lanterns below, he sighed, "Finally, the world seems to be at peace."

Su Liang reminded Duanmu Chen, "Your Majesty, if you stand there, if someone wants to assassinate you, you will be a living target."

Duanmu Chen laughed when he heard this, "Being in the same room with you two, what am I afraid of being assassinated?" He sat down next to Gu Ling and drank half a glass of wine, "You are the people who make me feel the most secure.

If someone wants to kill me, just come over and let me appreciate how Gu Ling kills people again."

"The emperor can go down below and have fun with the people." Gu Ling said.

Duanmu Chen hummed, "I know, you think I'm disturbing the world of you and your wife. There are so many people down there, if something happens to me, wouldn't it cause trouble to you? I'd better stay here and chat with you."

"Uncle Emperor!" Ji Xiaoshu opened the door and rushed in, pulled Duanmu Chen up and walked out, "Come on, come on!"

Duanmu Chen was puzzled, "Where are you taking me, Xiaoshu? It's not okay to go down and play."

"If you don't go down, I promised my master and my wife! I'm very good! We were playing a game and we just needed someone. My father asked me to invite the emperor's uncle!" Ji Xiaoshu said and already dragged Duanmu Chen to the door.

Duanmu Chen:...Well, he is quite popular with children.

The next moment, Ji Xiaoshu turned around and smiled at Gu Ling, "I took the emperor's uncle away, master must thank me! Don't punish me to run next time!"

Gu Ling actually said seriously, "Thank you." Then he said again, "It's okay if you don't run. I'll make you write next time."

Duanmu Chen was speechless: Is he such an eyesore?

Ji Xiaoshu:...he knew it!

When they arrived next door, the game Ji Xiaoshu mentioned was actually a chess and card game that Gu Ling taught them. This game was also made by Gu Ling based on Su Liang's description, and he specially brought it here for everyone to play together.

Zheng'er was explaining the rules to everyone. Duanmu Chen listened with interest and waved his hands to tell everyone not to be polite. He sat down next to Ji Yuebai and looked at the beautifully made and special wooden signs.

Zheng'er quickly finished speaking, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

Ji Xiaoshu asked Ji Yuebai, "If dad doesn't understand, just ask directly to save yourself the embarrassment of losing later."

Ji Yuebai hummed, "You won't know until you play."

When Duanmu Chen saw that the two children were definitely veterans, he didn't dare to say harsh words rashly. After all, they were not familiar with the gameplay yet, so he decisively chose to team up with Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu during the grouping.

Sure enough, in the first game, the novice team led by Ji Yuebai lost quickly.

"Interesting! Come again!" Duanmu Chen said cheerfully.

…

Wanjia Restaurant is not accessible to ordinary people today, especially after Duanmu Chen arrived, and it was heavily guarded. The people inside were not ordinary nobles, they were the highest power circle in the world.

Qi Yan took Nangong Qian for a walk. Nangong Qian had a delicate lantern in her hand, and the two of them also came to the restaurant.

Lin Bojun was standing at the door of the restaurant, listening to his subordinates' reports on the situation everywhere. There was no commotion for the time being.

Seeing Qi Yan and Nangong Qian being stopped, Lin Bojun opened his mouth to let them in.

"Can you help me?" Qi Yan asked Lin Bojun.

Lin Bojun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go up and sit down."

At this moment, there was an exclamation from outside the restaurant. Lin Bojun's expression condensed and he quickly looked over and saw a figure in black clothes flying through the crowd at a very fast speed and holding on to a tilted elevated structure that was about to fall.

There were many lighted lanterns hanging on the wooden shelf, and there were people around it. If it really fell down, it would definitely hurt people, cause a commotion, stampede, and even start a fire.

An almost dangerous situation was eliminated. Some people were cheering and shouting "Gu Beauty" because it was Gu Ling who discovered the problem and took action in time.

Lin Bojun immediately ordered down and sent troops to assist the vendors everywhere to strengthen their stalls, especially the shelves with lanterns hanging on them.

When Duanmu Chen, who was having a good time playing cards upstairs, received the report, he was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, "I feel relieved that Gu Ling is here."

"My master is so awesome!" Ji Xiaoshu especially liked to praise his master when he was not around Gu Ling.

At this time, Gu Ling had already helped fix the shelf, returned to the restaurant, and sat next to Su Liang.

"My master is so handsome." Su Liang gave a thumbs up.

Gu Ling looked at Su Liang's beautiful smiling face, reached out and closed the window to block the outside view, then hugged her and kissed her deeply.

After a while, the window opened again. The two of them continued to look outside while talking. If they found anything wrong, they would take action immediately.

Lin Bojun was keenly aware that two men were walking back and forth near the restaurant twice, something suspicious, and he was about to arrange for someone to pay close attention when he saw the two men coming towards him.

It was Feng Ming and Zhu Zan, who were stopped before they even got close to Lin Bojun.

Soon, a soldier came over and reported to Lin Bojun, "Those two people claim to be from Xingluo Island and want to see His Highness the Regent."

Of course Lin Bojun knew where Xingluo Island was. Hearing this, he ordered to keep an eye on them, and then turned around and went upstairs to find Gu Ling and Su Liang.

Su Liang was surprised, "People from Xingluo Island?"

"Do you want to see him? Or should he be arrested first?" Lin Bojun asked.

Gu Ling stood up and closed the window again. Su Liang said to Lin Bojun, "Second brother, please bring them here." If they were coming to assassinate them, they wouldn't say hello. Besides, among the younger generation, there was no one who wanted to kill Gu Linghe.

It's almost impossible for Su Liang to do it. If Xingluo Island really sends a killer, it must be an old guy.

Soon, Lin Bojun brought Feng Ming and Zhu Zan into Gu Ling and Su Liang's room.

"Second brother, go and do your work." Su Liang said.

"Be careful." Lin Bojun glanced at Feng Ming and Zhu Zan coldly, and then left. He was responsible for the security of the entire city tonight, not just to protect this restaurant. He was indeed very busy and had no time to stare at this place.

side.

Su Liang looked at Feng Ming and Zhu Zan. They were both in their early twenties and looked ordinary. They might have been disguised.

Su Liang felt that they were not sent by Sheng Yue, otherwise they would have directly mentioned Sheng Yue's name instead of just talking about Xingluo Island. It would not be enough time to leave Sheng Yue, return to the island, and then send someone over.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for us?" Su Liang said.

Zhu Zan looked at Feng Ming. Feng Ming looked at Su Liang with open eyes, cupped his hands and said, "My name is Feng Ming, and his name is Zhu Zan. We were originally from Xingluo Island."

"Who is on Xingluo Island?" Su Liang asked a question that sounded a bit strange. Led by those elders, there are several relatively powerful families on Xingluo Island with more people. Others are scattered here and there.

Those who were recruited to the island voluntarily or forcibly, the older ones had families, and the younger ones were basically alone.

Feng Ming thought for a moment, understood what Su Liang was asking, and answered, "Both of us were recruited to Xingluo Island three years ago. We have no relatives on the island. That time the regent led troops to the island.

After rescuing people, because there was no news about Mr. Sheng Yue, the island owner ordered me and I to go out of the island to investigate the whereabouts of Mr. Sheng."

Su Liang looked indifferent, "You came here to find Sheng Yue? Do you want to ask if we have killed him or captured him? But even if we go far away, it will not take so long to get here, and we will not go back for several months to recover.

, do you plan to go back again?”

Feng Ming admired Su Liang's insight and nodded, "Yes. The two of us followed Mr. Sheng when we were on the island, so we were hostile and ostracized by the family of the eldest elder He Wei. Because we didn't know Mr. Sheng's whereabouts, we

I don’t dare to go back rashly. Moreover, when we first went to the island, we didn’t do it voluntarily. After three years on Xingluo Island, we deeply felt that it was not a good place.”

"Are you planning to abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" Su Liang smiled. Feng Ming is a very talkative person, and he is very shrewd at first glance. Moreover, he does not hide his shrewdness at this moment. He seems to want Su Liang to know that he is useful.

.

Feng Ming nodded, "Yes. If you two don't dislike me, we are willing to be loyal to you."

"What skills do you have? Or do you know any secrets of Xingluo Island that you can provide to us?" Su Liang asked directly.

Feng Ming said, "Perhaps many Doctor Su already know what happened on Xingluo Island. But we can tell you two everything we know. We have no other abilities, and our martial arts are acceptable."

Hearing this, Su Liang chuckled and said, "Okay. Since you want to take the bright road, I can give you a chance. We will discuss the matter of Xingluo Island later. There is a festival in the city tonight, and it is easy for trouble to happen if there are many people. You each find one.

From a high place, help keep an eye on the people and avoid trouble."

Zhu Zan was stunned for a moment, but Feng Ming already agreed, "Yes, we will do our best!" After saying this, he pulled Zhu Zan out.

When going downstairs, Zhu Zan asked in a low voice, "Are you... going to use us?"

Feng Ming shook his head, "It's a test. They are all mentally superior people. If you hesitate again, it's better to leave as soon as possible. Dealing with them is just like dealing with Mr. Sheng. You can't play any tricks, otherwise it will not be beneficial."

"

Zhu Zan sighed slightly, "I don't want to be mean, I'm just a little worried and not as calm as you. That's all. I will listen to you from now on. You are the boss, I trust you!"
