It was fifteen days later when Xiao Diyuan received Zhou Rong's letter, and after reading the letter, he got up and walked to the window and looked out of the window silently.

Ding Cong stood behind him, he couldn't see his expression clearly, he saw that his shoulders trembled slightly, and he seemed to be a little unstable, so he couldn't help but be a little worried, but he didn't dare to rush forward to disturb, so he still just stood and guarded quietly not far behind him.

Now Xiao Diyuan has the urge to question Xiao Hong and Liu immediately, but reason tells him that this is not the time.

If he asked the Liu family directly, the Liu family would definitely not admit it, and at that time, she might immediately go to Xiao Hong and let Xiao Hong make a decision.

Obviously, he will definitely not tell the motive of why he brought Xiao Diyuan to Shuguo back then, not only will he not, but in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, and in order to maintain his tall image among his subjects, he will immediately deal with Xiao Diyuan.

At that time, how should Xiao Diyuan take the recruitment?

This truth came too quickly, beyond Xiao Diyuan's plan. Now that Wang Ding has just found an entry point on the Yunguo side, it will take at least a year or so when the time is ripe.

On Zhaoguo's side, it is not yet the time for him to pull allies.

Now he can only put the case on hold here, and act unaware, waiting for the right time to act.

However, there are some things that you already know seven or eight points about, but you still have to endure not knowing what to do, and this feeling is also very uncomfortable. However, judging from the current situation, it is really not suitable for him to break with Xiao Hong immediately or become an enemy, because doing so will only send himself to a dead end.

Xiao Diyuan thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision, so he returned to his desk and wrote a reply letter to Zhou Rong.

In the letter, he said: "Now the facts are clear, only the last step is missing, but this last step requires special caution, otherwise not only will you not know the final truth, but you will even put your own life into it." I've thought about it, and now is not the time for me to find out the final answer, so I'm afraid I'll have to take a break when this is the case. In the meantime, please bring your two companions back to China first, and when the time comes, I will let you know if you need to come again to help, and make a decision when the time comes. ”

After writing the letter, he asked Ding Cong to take it and send it.

After Ding Cong left, he was the only one in the room, he closed the door, took out a carved wooden box from a locked cabinet in the room, opened it slowly, and picked up a scroll painting inside to see.

This was given to him by the Empress Dowager of Zhaoguo last time, along with this painting, there are several treasured jadeite and white marble.

At that time, the Queen Mother gave it to him along with the box, so he did not look closely at the contents at that time, and he only took out the painting on the way back to see it.

The painting was painted by the Empress Dowager herself, and there are several mountains rising into the sky in the distance, and in the middle there is an elaborate courtyard surrounded by a wall, and the outside of the wall is full of dense forests. At the lower right end of the painting is a poem.

When Xiao Diyuan first read this poem, he knew that this place in the painting was the place where he had an accident.

He looked at the painting repeatedly, trying to bring back a little memory of that year, but he was only eight months old at the time, and he had no memory of it at all, only a vague sense of déjà vu.

He had no impression of the most crucial details.

After Zhou Rong received Xiao Diyuan's letter, he sat in the hall of the broken temple and thought for a long time.

The relationship between Ding An and the Liu family has been clear, so Ding An doesn't need to be monitored anymore, so he wrote a letter to Ding An, saying that he was going to leave the capital for a period of time in May this year, so he couldn't attend his wedding with Miss Wen.

Then, Zhou Rong called Liao Yuanji, Ding Wu, Zhang Yuanfeng, Wu Yichang and Wei Bang, told everyone what Xiao Diyuan meant, and asked everyone to disband tomorrow.

The six of them have worked together for more than a year, and their relationship is very deep, and now they suddenly learn that they are going to disband, and everyone is very reluctant, so everyone drank a little too much that night.

At night, because there was no need to supervise Ding An's house, everyone huddled in a room to talk.

"Do you want to continue to follow Guo Ba?" asked Zhou Rong by Wei Bang.

Zhou Rong replied: "The prince said that he is still following, after all, this person may know some important secrets, and he can't give up this clue easily." ”

Wei Bang nodded and didn't ask anything more.

Zhou Rong thought that he could finally give an explanation to the queen mother and the emperor when he went back this time, and he was very happy in his heart, and he couldn't sleep that night.

He thought of Fang Can again, the man who once entered the palace to be his father-in-law in order to follow him, the man who once felt that he had nothing to love because of the death of his beloved wife, I don't know where he is now and how he is doing.

Maybe I won't have the chance to see him again in this life, Zhou Rong sighed in his heart.

Inexplicably, Zhou Rong felt sad.

It is not easy to meet confidants in a person's life, Zhou Rong and Fang Can are such confidants, but it is a pity that the time when the two get together is too short.

Zhou Rong sighed secretly.

At the beginning of the next day, Zhou Rong, Zhang Yuanfeng, and Wu Yichang embarked on a journey back to Zhaoguo.

In the carriage, all three men wet their eyes.

To do something, sometimes the process is more emotional than the result.

When they returned to Zhaoguo, Emperor Li Pei and the Empress Dowager were already waiting for them.

Zhou Rong reported to the two of them on the process and results of the three of them's mission.

When they learned that the second prince of Shuguo did have another person and that person was still alive and well, Li Pei and the empress dowager were so happy that they shed tears.

"In this way, ninety percent of King Guangxian may be my third son. The Queen Mother said with tears in her eyes.

Zhou Rong: "Yes, the Queen Mother, and he actively participated in the whole investigation process, and most of the ideas were also made by him. Let's go back to China first, and this proposal was also made by him. ”

The Queen Mother was very relieved when she heard this, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Her third son, it turned out that he really didn't die, so the most important thing at the moment is to figure out why the king of the Shu Kingdom did this in the first place.

Because this matter involves the interests of the two countries, it must be handled with caution.

The Empress Dowager asked Li Pei's opinion, and Li Pei said: "Erchen has not yet come up with a proper way. ”

"Well, then let's discuss this matter privately. The Empress Dowager said that she ordered someone to bring a reward for silver, and rewarded Zhou Rong, Zhang Yuanfeng and Wu Yichang heavily.

After taking the bounty, the three of them took their leave.

As soon as Zhou Rong left the palace gate, he immediately stopped the car and rushed to his house.

"I finally came back alive. When sitting in the car, Zhou Rong said in his heart, happy and sad in his heart, and he couldn't help but redden his eyes again.
