Su Liang followed Gu Ling's gaze and looked at the crowds of people 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 Feng Ming and Zhu Zan. There were too many people. Lin Bojun arranged for soldiers to maintain order, smooth 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 to the restaurant.

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

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 to Wanjia Restaurant. He originally wanted to bring his children out to have fun, 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, why am I afraid of assassination?" 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, please come over here so that I can see 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 pushed open the door and rushed in, pulled Duanmu Chen up and walked out, "Come on, come on!"

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

"If you don't go on, I promised my master and my wife! I'm very good! We are playing a game and we just need 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 make me 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 was also made by Gu Ling based on Su Liang's description, and he specially brought it here for everyone to play with.

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

Ji Xiaoshu asked Ji Yuebai, "If dad doesn't understand, just ask directly to avoid 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, but 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.

"Do you need help?" 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 fell down, it would definitely hurt people, cause a commotion, stampede, and even start a fire.

An almost dangerous situation was eliminated, and 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 vendors everywhere to strengthen their stalls, especially the shelves with lanterns hanging on them.

When Duanmu Chen, who was having fun 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 there were two men walking back and forth near the restaurant, which seemed suspicious. 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 claimed to be from Xingluo Island and wanted 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, then turned 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 came to assassinate them, they would not say hello. Besides, among the younger generation who want to kill Gu Ling and Su Liang, it is almost impossible to do so. 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 get busy." Su Liang said.

"Be careful." Lin Bojun gave Feng Ming and Zhu Zan a cold look and left again. He is responsible for the security of the entire city tonight, not just protecting this restaurant. He is indeed very busy and has no time to stare here.

Su Liang looked at Feng Ming and Zhu Zan. They were both in their early twenties. They looked ordinary, maybe they were 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 Shengyue, return to the island, and then send people 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 the elders, there are several relatively powerful families on Xingluo Island with a relatively large number of people. Others were recruited to the island sporadically, either voluntarily or forcibly. The older ones had families, while 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 Mr. Sheng’s whereabouts.”

Su Liang looked indifferent, "You came here to find Sheng Yue? Do you want to ask us if we killed him or captured him? But even if we go far away, it won't take so long to get here, and we won't go back for several months to recover. , don’t 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 dark side and turn to the bright side?" Su Liang smiled. Feng Ming is a very talkative person, and he is very shrewd at first glance, and he does not hide his shrewdness at this moment, as if he wants Su Liang to know that he is useful.

Feng Ming nodded, "Yes. If you two don't dislike me, the two of us 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 Divine 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 mean 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!"

Soon, Feng Ming chose a position and then found a position for Zhu Zan. The two reached a high place and stared at the crowd below attentively, not wanting anything to happen, but hoping to have a chance to perform.

Thanks to the careful arrangements of the Lin brothers and the personal supervision of Gu Ling and Su Liang, there were no major disturbances in the grand Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival in the capital, and the minor disturbances were quickly settled without any casualties.

It was late at night, people returned home, the streets gradually became quiet, and people in the restaurants also left one after another.

Duanmu Chen played cards all night and was still not satisfied, so he invited Ji Yuebai and the children to come to the palace to play together another day.

Finally, Lin Bojun personally led the troops to escort Duanmu Chen back to the palace.

Qi Yan carried Zheng'er on his back, and Gu Ling hugged Ji Xiaoshu, who was hanging on him like a little monkey, and went home together.

Feng Ming and Zhu Zan thought that nothing would happen, so they got together again and went to Su Mansion silently.

When they arrived at the Su Mansion, the door was closed, and the two of them looked at each other and stood outside the door. Soon the door opened, and Qi Yan called them in and took them to Yuanming Pavilion.

The children were all asleep, but Su Liang didn't come down and asked Gu Ling to "entertain" them.

Feng Ming and Zhu Zan sat down and met Gu Ling's indifferent eyes, which were more nervous than when Su Liang was talking to them.

Gu Ling didn't ask them what they did tonight, because he saw them all. Feng Ming focused more on the children and helped several children who fell. Zhu Zan helped people put out a fire.

"You originally followed Sheng Yue. What do you know about him?" Gu Ling got straight to the point. They already knew the basic situation on Xingluo Island from Min Rou and Sheng Yue. But even though Sheng Yue took the initiative to come to the Su Mansion, was imprisoned for a period of time, and confessed some things, Gu Ling and Su Liang still felt that there were still secrets about him. In fact, Sheng Yue is more mysterious to them than Mo Yan.

Zhu Zan seemed to have no idea, and it was still Feng Ming who spoke. He thought for a while and then said, "Master Sheng has great martial arts skills, an extraordinary mind, he is not surprised by changes, and he is indifferent to emotions and anger. He is a very powerful person. We went to the island It was almost time, but Mr. Sheng soon gained the appreciation of the island owner and was entrusted with important tasks. The island is controlled by the elders’ families, especially the He family. It is difficult for young people like us who come to the island alone to get ahead. Even if you have the opportunity, you will be suppressed even if you have made meritorious deeds. But under such circumstances, Mr. Sheng still became a person who can compete with the great elder. Even if there are not many people following him, we only follow him secretly and dare not show it openly. Go against the He family."

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "Tell me something I don't know."

Feng Ming spoke again, "I wonder if the prince knows that Mr. Sheng has a younger brother?"

"Go on." Gu Ling looked calm.

"Last year, I went with Mr. Sheng to do something. He asked me if I had any relatives alive. After I confessed the situation, he rarely took the initiative to say that he had a younger brother somewhere else." Feng Ming said, " I just said that, so I didn't dare to ask any more questions. Because everyone on the island thinks that Mr. Sheng has no relatives."

Zhu Zan's expression showed that he didn't know about this before, and Feng Ming never mentioned it to him.

Gu Ling knew that Sheng Yue had a younger brother, Cheng Yun. If Feng Ming had said this a few months earlier, it would have been useful, but it is of no use now.

Feng Ming said he didn't know anything else, and Zhu Zan didn't even know.

Both of them were waiting for Gu Ling to decide whether to use them or to suspect them and catch them, maybe even kill them...

Gu Ling called Qi Yan to come and arrange for Feng Ming and Zhu Zan to stay.

"Thank you, Master!" Feng Ming said politely, knowing that he had passed the first level.

When Gu Ling returned to the room, Su Liang had put his daughter to sleep and was waiting for him.

"How is it?" Su Liang asked.

"Let's see again." Gu Ling was not so easily convinced by outsiders who suddenly appeared, "How is the truth serum?"

Su Liang shook his head, "The second time I tried the medicine, I killed Nian Ruxue. If I try the medicine again, I have to find death row prisoners from the sky jail. There is no new progress yet. I think that Feng Ming seems to be a smart man." There are no flaws in what they said, but it’s not certain that it was sent by Sheng Yue.”

"So I plan to send Feng Ming back to Sheng Yue as an undercover agent." Gu Ling lay down and held Su Liang's hand against his face, "What do you think?"

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "It's a good idea. In the end, we can't say who is our biggest threat, Mo Yan or Sheng Yue. In that case, I'll have a good talk with him tomorrow."
