Yo, lost the jade seal?

Lai Yu came to the apse slowly, the apse had already been surrounded by a group of people guarding the apse, the gate was closed tightly, no one dared to enter.

Yu Yao waved the floating dust to both sides, and everyone retreated to make way for Lai Yu.

Lai Yu went through the crowd and came to the door, the left and right guards opened the door, looked at the empty room, then glanced back at the people outside, Lai Yu stepped in suspiciously.

The door creaked and closed, making Lai Yu even more uncomfortable.

"Ah Shu." With hands wrapped around his waist suddenly, Jin Rui rushed out from behind and hugged Lai Yu tightly.

"A Shu, don't you like me anymore?" Jin Rui asked very seriously, encircling Lai Yu's arms harder and harder.

In the huge hall, there was a panic of silence.

"The emperor works hard for the government, works hard for the country and the people, who would not like the emperor." Lai Yu answered Jin Rui very calmly, although everyone knew it well.

The hands around his waist were loosened, and Jin Rui sat down on the floor dejectedly: "I knew it, you must still hate me, hate me for exiling you to the desert, hate me for sacrificing you in exchange for stability."

Hearing what Jin Rui said, Lai Yu wanted to laugh instead, Jin Rui was too selfish, and Lai Yu couldn't afford to love and hate this.

It may be helpless to go to the desert, but Lai Yu is alone.Being abroad, Lai Yu sees more clearly, knows what he wants and what he doesn't want, and he is used to following his will, and he will no longer be bound by those rules.

"As a subject, it is my honor to sacrifice for the stability of the country. How could I hate you?" Jin Rui was self-willed, and Lai Yu still had to half lie and half coax. Turning his attention, he asked, "I heard that the jade seal is lost?"

Speaking of this matter, Jin Rui's dim eyes quickly regained their light, which was covered with another layer of sadness.

"Come with me." Jin Rui stood up, and beckoned Lai Yu to walk towards the table.

Lai Yu followed in doubt.

Jin Rui turned the potted plants on the table around, and moved the bookcases at the back to the sides, revealing a recessed dark compartment in front of him.

Jin Rui took out the only gold leaf dragon case from the hidden compartment, threw it in front of Lai Yu, and said, "Open it and have a look!"

Lai Yu picked up the box, it was so light, it must be empty, otherwise Jin Rui would not be so casual, and the chain would not be connected.

Open the lock card, Lai Yu looked, the inside is not empty, a piece of shiny green scales lying alone inside.

The scales occupy more than half of the box, they are very wide, not like the skin of ordinary animals.

Surprised, Lai Yu picked up the scales and looked at them in his hands. When he got closer, a fishy smell wafted out, his pupils closed, and Lai Yu had some guesses in his heart.

"What is this?" Lai Yu deliberately asked Jin Rui because it was inconvenient to talk about the origin of the scales.

Jin Rui's eyes were also surprised, and he said to Lai Yu with a little excitement: "It's the dragon scale!"

"Dragon Scale..." Lai Yu muttered, but he was no longer surprised.

"The dragon's scales are green in color, and it smells like the sea. I sent someone to investigate. There is only a rumor of a green dragon in a small island in the East China Sea. Presumably, Yuxi has something to do with that green dragon." Jin Rui covered Lai. Yu's arm, said, "A Shu, go to that island and help me find that green dragon."

"Qinglong?" Seeing Jin Rui's serious look, Lai Yu asked with a smile, "This dragon is only found in mythology books. How do you know that I can find Qinglong from the island? If not, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?" .”

Jin Rui rolled his eyes, restrained his excitement, and concluded: "I'm not sure, but didn't the dragon scales in this box explain it? Besides, the jade seal is lost, and there is no other clue, so I can only go to Longdao to try it out." .”

Lai Yu nodded thoughtfully: "Then I'll go to that Dragon Island to have a look."

"Ashu, Qing... Yuxi is all up to you. I only believe that you can help me find it, and you are the only one." Jin Rui grabbed Lai Yu's arm and begged.

Against his will, Lai Yu said solemnly: "For the sake of the stability of the Jin Kingdom, I will do my best."

I don't know who refused so simply in the desert.

Jin Rui turned around, took out another object from the hidden compartment, handed it to Lai Yu, and said: "The object returns to its original owner."

Lai Yu looked at the heavy talisman token in his hand, stroked the big characters of General Xiao Zhan engraved on it, and returned the talisman token to Jin Rui.

"Ah Shu, why is this?" Jin Rui was puzzled, this talisman represents supreme power, a title that many people can't get even if they break their heads.

Lai Yu waved his hand and said: "I came this time mostly just to find Yuxi. If Yuxi is found, I still have to go back to the desert and continue to live my life."

"A Shu..." Jin Rui wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Lai Yu.

"Jin Rui, I have already made up my mind. If I continue to persuade him, I will go back to the desert now, even if I die." Lai Yu resolutely.

Jin Rui took a step back, stopped persuading, turned around and put the token back into the hidden compartment.

"By the way, I have one more request." Behind him, Lai Yu said to Jin Rui.

"What request?" Jin Rui regained his smile and turned around in surprise. If I remember correctly, this was the first time Lai Yu asked for something from himself.

"I don't have enough manpower, you have to add some people to me." Lai Yu said, Jin Rui is very smart, Lai Yu had to turn a corner to set Jin Rui up.

"No problem, I'll send Ye Hongtu to you." Jin Rui didn't think much, agreed without hesitation, and sold Ye Hongtu for such a cheap price.

"Don't bother the governor, just send me Ye Qiubai who is beside him. I think he's not bad." Finally, after turning around, Lai Yu wanted to speak.

"Ye Qiubai..." Jin Rui muttered something, thinking about it carefully, and suddenly thought, "Ye Hongtu's son? The one who just flirted with you!"

Lai Yu laughed twice: "You look very carefully."

Jin Rui changed his face, thought for a moment, and asked, "It must be him?"

"It must be him." Lai Yu resolutely.

"Okay, then send him to you." Jin Rui gave the order listlessly.

Lai Yuhuanxi took the lead, and said again: "After we have a discussion tonight, maybe we will leave tomorrow."

Jin Rui nodded dejectedly.

Seeing that Jin Rui had lost his energy, Lai Yu quickly took the opportunity to retreat.

When we returned to the main hall, it was past Xu time, the night was a little thicker, and the night wind blew up, making it a bit cooler.

All the ministers left almost the same, only a few servants who cleaned up the dishes remained here and there.

The few people in the inn did not leave, San Dao and Wu Mi fell asleep one after another, Mu Qing and Ding Xi stood back to back, looking up at the starry night in the pavilion not far away.

It's not like waiting for Lai Yu any longer, it's like looking for a good place and enjoying it quietly, getting used to it, as long as the people around are still around, you can live anywhere.

Ye Hongtu didn't leave either, he wasn't as peaceful as Mu Qing and the others, and looked forward with a sullen face.

All the followers behind him didn't dare to leave at will, they also kept silent and looked forward.

At the very front is Ye Qiubai who is kneeling.

After kneeling for an unknown amount of time, the tips of Ye Qiubai's ears turned slightly red, and his face was mixed with tiredness and unconscious discomfort.

My legs are probably numb.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lai Yu walked to the front, his head turned to the front, and asked loudly.

"Punishment." Ye Hongtu glanced at Lai Yu, turned his eyes down, deliberately waited for the opportunity when Lai Yu was around, and shouted to Ye Qiubai, "If you act without my consent, you will kneel here tonight and tomorrow Get up again at dawn."

Ye Qiubai lowered his eyes and received the punishment.

This kind of punishment is not as serious as embarrassing in front of everyone. Ye Qiubai has already gotten used to it when he thought of it.

After he finished, Ye Hongtu turned to Lai Yu, regained his smile, and said: "Lai Yu, this brocade guard has many rules. If you don't act presumptuously like you, there will be someone to protect you. If you make a slight mistake, you may be decapitated. Although Ye Qiubai is my son, but I won't be soft-hearted, do you understand?"

With countless arrows in Ye Hongtu's smile, he shot at Lai Yu in volley, and used Ye Qiubai as a shield in the middle to defend against Lai Yu's counter attack.

The clothes are flawless, and it is almost impossible to fight back, if the opponent is not Lai Yu.

"Understood." Lai Yu nodded flatly, and then understood, "Ye Qiubai lacks someone to protect."

"You..." Ye Hongtu's pretentious smile was completely broken by Lai Yu, he pulled Lai Yu aside, and growled fiercely, "Lai Yu, stay away from Xiaoye from now on!"

Facing Ye Hongtu's warning, Lai Yu was silent, thought for a moment, and said firmly, "I don't!"

After finishing speaking, Lai Yu shook off Ye Hongtu's hand and came to Ye Qiubai.

"Lai Yu!" Behind him, Ye Hongtu yelled, being forced by Lai Yu to be completely shameless.

Lai Yu didn't pay any attention to it, and stood in front of the crowd, holding out his cuffs.

The crowd just looked at Lai Yu with bated breath, and rarely saw Ye Hongtu get angry. With Lai Yu, they felt that Ye Hongtu was about to explode.

Although Ye Hongtu was angry, he didn't dare to do anything. Jin Rui's attitude was very clear, and Lai Yu couldn't touch him.Ye Hongtu could only wait for Lai Yu to act first, and then think of countermeasures.

Lai Yu dug deeper and deeper, and finally pulled out a crumpled imperial decree under the base of his shoulder, stood in front of Ye Qiubai, and said: "From today on, you are mine, and I will protect you."

Ye Qiubai was a little dazed, kneeling on the ground looking at the imperial decree in Lai Yu's hand.

After reading this, I am still confused.

"What?" Ye Hongtu snatched the imperial decree from Lai Yu's hand.In just a few lines, it is clear at a glance that the emperor sent Ye Qiubai to Lai Yu, and added a sentence at the end, indefinitely.

Ye Hongtu stared at the imperial decree, his beard trembling non-stop.

"You're cruel!" Slapped the imperial decree on Lai Yu, and Ye Hongtu left a sentence for Ye Qiubai, "You ask for more blessings."

After finishing speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

All the followers looked at Ye Qiubai distressedly, but they left with Ye Hongtu helplessly.

Ye Qiubai's body softened, and he sat on his ankles, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

It seems to be abandoned, and it seems that it has never belonged.

"Isn't kneeling enough?" Lai Yu leaned over, and suddenly pressed his face to Ye Qiubai.

Ye Qiubai shrank his neck back in fright, turned his head away, and stood up slowly.

Glancing back, Mu Qing and Ding Xi had already surrounded him, and San Dao had also woken up, struggling to hug Wu Mi who was sleeping to death.

"Welcome!" Mu Qing clapped her hands, breaking the embarrassment.

Ye Qiubai's behavior at the banquet changed Mu Qing's opinion of him greatly. Besides, it is a good thing to have someone in charge of Lai Yu.

Ding Xi followed Mu Qing and clapped his hands, and the birds in the forest fluttered in shock.

"Hold down!" Sandao said to Ding Xi, then glanced at Wumi in his arms to signal.

Ding Xi withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and gently stroked Wumi's little furry head.

"Let's go, work is coming, go back and discuss it." Stretching, Lai Yu walked out the door.

A few followed Lai Yu.

"Why don't you keep up?" Lai Yu turned his head and looked at Ye Qiubai who stayed where he was.

"Hurry up, go to bed early after discussing." Mu Qing turned around and urged her to help.

Ye Qiubai clenched the sword in his hand, without any further hesitation, he stepped forward to follow.

A group of people stepped on the clear moonlight and walked towards the backyard.
