Gu Yun watched his figure froo on like this anyh with hiot up to change his clothes, as he exited the roo in the outer cha either, it see a s on his knee

The outer chaht Gu Yun was already accusto in at night Only the old butler would occasionally coht to add so?” Gu Yun was surprised, “How co…”

Chang Geng: “I aiting for you to fall asleep before leaving”

“You are a Jun wang,” Gu Yun frowned: “Lowering yourself to stay at a place for servants as such is too inappropriate

“It is nothinga servant for yifu would bedown the small pot on the red-hot stove and poured a bowl of herbal tea for Gu Yun: “Is yifu going to the palace? If you are not willing to wear a fur coat, at least drink so first to keep warm”

Gu Yun: “…”

He was flustered, even if he were toGeng When these thoughts just began to manifest, he instantly slapped hione insane?

Gu Yun took the cup of herbal tea and drank it When returning the cup, their fingers accidentally touched Chang Geng quickly retracted his hand as if he had just been pricked by a sharp needle — then with a seely normal expression, he turned around and placed the pot down to its original place

Gu Yun watched his figure froo on like this anyh with him no matter what”

Outside, the palace servants were er, he could only hurriedly follow the, Gu Yun’s dizzy head blown by the cold wind instantly becoone acupuncture

The servant leading the way did not dare to lift his head, walking under the palace wall On the three steps, there would be a guarding post equipped with bows All had beast heads, their faces were ferocious, their fangs e, producing a co the red walls in front to see, no one would dare to look closely

The huge palace lantern swinging in ive off a Godly aura but instead seehostly

The close servant of E An led a few people out of the Warm Pavilion, they just happened to be on the opposite side of Gu Yun They were Westerners, thehad white hair, was tall and lean, his facial features were , his nose was high and hooked, and the lips were almost invisible, only a narrow slit that seemed to have been created by a blade

Zhu Little Feet quickly took a step forward and paid respect to Gu Yun: “The Marquis — these are the ers sent by the Pope from the west”

The white-haired man looked at Gu Yun carefully and asked: “Is this the Marquis of Order?”

A layer of thin snow fell on Gu Yun’s eyelashes, his entire being was covered in an aura of chilling frost, putting his hands together coldly

The white-haired man put his hand on his chest: “I did not expect the Marquis of Order to be such a young and handsome man Please to meet you”

Gu Yun: “You have praised too roups of people passed by each other, after the foreigners had walked further away, Gu Yun glanced at Zhu Little Feet

Zhu Little Feet blinked at him, then spoke in a hushed tone: “Just now, there was no telling what those foreigners had said to His Majesty, only that this tih spirited, even constantly telling us to ask the Marquis to come The Marquis can rest assure, this is not bad news”

This old eunuch was ridiculed by the people for abusing his power, being a sugarcoating subject, but his relationshi+p with Gu Yun was not bad, he could be considered to be sorow up In one occasion, he so to coood words in his stead in front of the forh Zhu Little Feet’s character was rotten, but unexpectedly, he was very understanding when it caoodwill With saving Master Feng Han a few days ago, it was also thanks to his assistance from the inside

However, as he said so, Gu Yun did not dare to rest assured

If the Eeneral ideas — for a larger part, perhaps so Ziliujin from the black market in the past

They could accuse hihly cleaned up his trace, there was no evidence, the worst case scenario was to battle ords… But what could it h spirited’?

Gu Yun’s eyelids twitched evendown at a report Eht did not appear to be very lively He seemed more sickly than Gu Yun who had just been tor already waved his hand, his attitude incredibly peaceful: “There is no one else here, uncle does not have to be over-courteous withturned Zhu little feet: “Go ask if there are still any ginseng soup left froive uncle a bowl to warhtful,” Gu Yun sighed in his heart “If this won’t be a trick, it would be robbery”

Li Feng was not aware of how Gu Yun was ridiculing him inside, he asked with quite a cheerful expression: “I re’s Ziliujin was froive your subject’s incompetence, I could not find out the source for these Ziliujin”

Li Feng did not get ht, those traitors are very wicked, the uncle is unfah the thief’s secret passage, capturing thereat achievement If you claiistrates and officers in the court be fired already?”

Gu Yun couldn’t figure out what his intentionwith an “I do not dare”

“The Ziliujin blackis extre the topic “This tiuise and found that a large part of the supply actually came from outside the country”

Gu Yun immediately understood as he heard this that those officials who leaked the goods in the territory have already received news through various connections They had all quieted down and assessed the direction of the wind What Jiang Chong and his men discovered were only so from thecontinued his words: “Uncle often walks in the frontiers, youin the capital all dayat the bottom of a well, do you knohere these private miners usually travel to?”

Gu Yun: “To answer His Majesty, they are generally on the grasslands of the Northern Barbarian”

“Correct,” Li Feng laughed “Although that’s not all — Uncle, come look at this”

Gu Yun hesitantly accepted the confidential report Li Feng threw to him, as he swept his eyes over it, his mind suddenly exploded

The report listed in details every single trading line the private miners sell their Ziliujin to, Gu Yun knew most of thedo: “So?”

Countless thoughts raced through Gu Yun’s heart, cold sweat quickly breaking out: “Your Majesty, the Black Iron Cahbors for many years I have never been aware that there is a Ziliujin mine in Lou Lan, please pardon ht forth this report? What is their evidence?”

“Hey, Uncle has thought toosaid with a smile “I have never said that you have connections with those thieves ere privatelyabout thisthat he was listening carefully

Li Feng: “It’s a long story Uncle had moved out with your troops to the Southern Frontier frodom had asked the Black Iron Camp soldiers who stationed behind for help, as they wanted to encircle and eliroup of bandits

“At that ti back co hundreds of desert bandits, and rescued a group of Tian Zhu merchants who they captured Because these , General Qiu had escorted them to the West Station Unexpectedly, they later discovered at the station thewas in a very good ot here, as if to increase curiosity Unexpectedly, he could only see Gu Yun solerave expression as he looked back, there was no intention of inquiring him of what happened next either The Emperor could not help but felt somewhat irritated

He had no choice but to continue unhappily: “According to the law, those who forged border passes should be referred to the general protection office for investigation and be dealt with After checking, The northwestern governor discovered that these Tian Zhu people are no hters’ frohters’ were those who risk their lives to sle Ziliujin

“Coincidentally, at that tiion, their feet had not yet hters have already walked the to the thieves’ confession, they were originally active in the private ot their hands on a ‘treasure dom, thus they had come to try their luck

“You say, is this not surprising? I had actually figured out what is under their land even before Lou Lan people theroup of desert bandits he caught four years ago, his hairs stood up all at once
