Bai Liangtu understood the reason why the short man came here. I guess last night, after Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng arrived at the Taoist temple, he accidentally discovered the broken leg that had not been burned out. The broken foot had a distinctive feature - its little finger was cut off by a sharp weapon. Many years ago, Bai Liangtu was cut off by the enemy while ordering the three armies on the battlefield. He saved his life but was disabled. This disabled person was not big or small. As long as he acted too quickly, he would be unable to breathe. Therefore, he retreated from the battlefield to the second line.

Very few people know about this wound. People only think that he is always out of breath because of his bloated body, but they don’t know the root cause of the injury.

However, Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng knew. He had many secrets. He always classified them in categories, corresponding one by one, and extracted them from the complicated brain information when necessary.

Last night, he did not associate Bianliangtu with Taoist temples. After all, Bianliangtu is a person who doesn't like to run around. He lives in Zongzheng Temple for most of the day, and it is hard to imagine how much he will have to do with the hermit. But when he was temporarily in court today, he saw a limping Bianliangtu. His unscrupulous right leg was the tail of the old fox. Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng pulled it out immediately.

After thinking about it, he decided to ask Zong Zhengqing directly to find out.

Bai Liangtu's hesitation became decisive evidence. Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng said: "It seems that I remembered it wrong. I think Zong Zhengqing is going out and not disturb him anymore." He took a step like a wind and did not give Bai Liangtu a chance to make a quibble.

Bian Liangtu stood there stupidly, forgot why he came out for a moment. He was discovered! A voice exploded in his chest. Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng believed that he went to the Taoist temple last night. Who would that guy treat him as? A complicitor who killed the hermit? A traitor and spy who were secretly entangled with the Gonglian team? He would report all this to Princess Qinglian!

Bian Liangtu's body trembled and suddenly fell forward. However, his body still stopped in the air. Kui Liang held his arm and barely supported him upright. He whispered to Bian Liangtu: "Zong Zhengqing, it's better to see Mr. Qianyu first."

"..." I want to ask them for help. Bian Liangtu made up his mind to "lead the way."

Kui Liang did not take Bian Liangtu directly to Huangfu Qing. He heard what Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng said, and understood the suspicious look of the think tank. Bian Liangtu was undoubtedly under the surveillance of the Gonglian team. If he walked to Huangfu Qing openly, what happened last night might have been seen through by the think tank. Therefore, he first took Bian Liangtu to a teahouse. The troupe in the teahouse was making a fuss with the people below. He dragged the fat man into the crowd and warned him not to speak again and then used mysterious power to make him hide his body.

After passing the teahouse, Bai Liangtu turned from a big belly to an air, feeling Kuiliang's fingers holding him forward in surprise.

"Don't talk, don't touch others." Kuiliang briefly reminded.

Even if the Bianliangtu accidentally hits it, there is no big problem. Normal people would not expect that there would be invisible people beside them. They would only think that the person next to them had bumped into them or had an illusion. Due to the fire, the originally bustling and crowded streets were quiet.

They quickly walked up to the attic, and Bai Liangtu heard a pleasant and familiar sound of the piano. Huangfu Qing was tying the strings. He wanted to cover his ears to isolate the sound. Although he didn't know what the sound of the piano had, Huangfu Qing was playing the repertoire while fighting with the hermit last night. This must be a secret. He didn't know whether he should ask, but at least he shouldn't listen too much.

Unfortunately, his ears were tightly covered, and the sound of the piano still flowed into his mind like water entering the net. The sound of the piano was quite healed, and the tension of seeing Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng was gone. He stepped on the steps covered with a fluffy carpet and followed Kui Liang into the room, seeing the source of the piano.

Huangfu Qing was playing the music intoxicatedly, and a strand of hair fell between her eyebrows, and her cool and upright figure complemented the Yuqin. Kuiliang made a few loud noises to let Huangfu Qing know that they were here.

"Zong Zhengqing, please sit down." Huangfu Qing stopped. The music suddenly stopped, and the room suddenly became empty. The silent world seemed to be able to swallow everything. Before the Bianliangtu could fully appear, he spoke anxiously, "Zong Zhengqing, Princess Qinglian was expelled from the northern border by Emperor Da Yanjue when she was young. What is the reason?"

Bian Liangtu was uncomfortable all over. After experiencing invisibility, he seemed to have broken hands and feet, and there was nothing on his body. He raised his hand and lowered his head, clenched his fists. His hands filled with fat suddenly overflowed with soft and wrinkled skin. He hummed a few more times in his throat, and then he was sure that he was still him.

"Why do you need to inquire about that?"

"Have Peng Que told you?" Huangfu Qing was a little impatient with the habit of flattening Liangtu - this cautious and important official always liked to answer questions with questions. If you want to hear key information from him, you must overcome many obstacles. He continued: "Zong Zhengqing, now we are in a hurry and don't have time to go around with you. If you tell us everything you know, we will help you."

"Help me?" Bian Liangtu suddenly became excited, "I'm going to be killed!"

"What did you say?"

"Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng found that I went to the Taoist temple last night." He suppressed his disobedience and said in a low voice, "He discovered my broken leg and recognized it as me."

When Dugu Linqi heard this, he frowned and asked, "Can you recognize who it is with just one foot? What's your relationship?"

"Hey!!" Bai Liangtu impatiently kicked away the shoes wrapped around her legs, revealing her right foot.

Dugu Linqi glanced at him.

"Because of the broken finger?"

"Yes." He put his clothes together, "I'm in danger now. If you want to know why the princess was expelled from the capital by the previous king, you have to save my life first!"

"Unreasonable." Dugu Linqi said, "Protect you? If you really expose your whereabouts, we will not protect you, but will kill you, so that you will never tell our secrets."

"you--"

"Everyone calm down." Huangfu Qing raised his hand to stop the two of them from arguing, and looked at Dugu Linqi at the same time. Since yesterday, since he learned that the enemy of the genocide was Shen Shuoxia who fell in love with him at first sight, his spirit has been a little unstable. If he were normal, he would definitely stabilize Zong Zhengqing first, rather than compete against each other.

Huangfu Qing knew that the scene was only controlled by herself. He took a deep breath and said in a calm voice: "Zong Zhengqing, if Zhong Yan and Pang Zheng plan to attack you, you only have one way to survive."

"What?"

"Escape. Escape from the capital." He stared at Bai Liangtu seriously, "I know you don't want to leave here. You are native to Jingzhou."

Bai Liangtu swallowed.

Escape from hometown?

His head was rioting, and the mountains and ridges standing outside the capital were filled with every inch of the smell of the sky, the snow in winter and the rain in summer, he was familiar with everything here, but now he was leaving his hometown? He felt very uncomfortable, and the sour and bitter stomach juice was spinning in his throat. Why did things suddenly fall into this point? His layout for many years was destroyed overnight. Two fires destroyed his foundation, and he suddenly became a teenager who started from scratch, but now he is over forty years older than he was back then. He stared blankly ahead, his eyes passed through Huangfu Qing's body, and bypassed the half-closed windows, scattered to every corner of the capital.

Leaving? If the princess hadn't descended from the sky with her power three years ago, this ancient city should have surrendered to his feet. He and Bian Li controlled the country's most powerful weapon - the martial arts world; and he also used Zhang Shenghan's hand to eliminate Bian Li. A series of palace fights and assassinations held by others made the political enemies fall one after another. He had to "handle the emperor to command the princes", but Princess Qinglian became the emperor who ruled the country from behind the curtain, and he could only kneel down.

He lost his position, did he even lose his life this time?

"How can I escape?"

"Tell us the truth about that matter first." Huangfu Qing said, "I have always said that I will definitely arrange for you to leave the capital and leave immediately."

Bai Liangtu squinted his eyes, his eyes trembled like ripples. He took a deep breath. Will Huangfu Qing agree to send him away from the capital after saying the next words? He was not sure, but suddenly he was tired. He thought he was tired of the ups and downs of the court, but he didn't know that when he was going up the stairs, Huangfu Qing's piano sound had quietly controlled his mind.

"What is the stumping emperor to explain to his ministers? What's more, this is a family matter, a princess's business - it doesn't involve future inheritance issues. We have no reason to ask about it. If the emperor wants to impose her on the northern border, then he can only let her go."

Dugu Linqi glanced at Huangfu Qing, and Huangfu Qing nodded slightly and told him that Bai Liangtu did not lie. Zong Zhengqing, who was in power, did not know the reason why the princess was demoted to the northern border.

"What I said is true." Bai Liangtu emphasized.

"I know," Huangfu Qing stood up, "I will arrange for someone to take you away. What do you want to bring?"
