Chapter 359: Appointment

"Then let him get a high score. Sima Yu said without mind.

Zhang Ji was a little surprised.

This doesn't quite look like Sima Yu's style.

Sima Yu chuckled twice, leaned closer to Zhang Yu and said, "In the past few years, the more we behave indifferently, the more beneficial it will be for our next actions. ”

Zhang Qiu met his gaze and asked, "Do you want Your Majesty and Jiang Chuanxiong to relax their vigilance against you first?"

Sima Yu smiled noncommittally.

Zhang Ji said sincerely: "It's still adults who think long-term!"

Suddenly remembering something, Zhang Ji approached him and said, "I heard that the little boy Jiang took the exam with an injury this time, but the whole exam process was very stable, so it is still very likely to get good results." ”

"It's been said that they have been allowed to stumble for the past few years. ”

"But in case this hairy boy remembers his revenge in the future....... Zhang Ji frowned.

Before Zhang Ji could finish speaking, there was another knock on the door outside.

Sima Yu and Zhang Yu both looked stunned, and then Sima Yu asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

The servant outside the door replied softly: "Master, there is a letter from you, I want to ask you if you will read it again or now." ”

The people were already very clear that any letter to Sima Yu could not be delayed, but thinking that Sima Yu was seeing guests now, they didn't dare to come in rashly.

Sima Yu frowned slightly, and pondered for a moment before saying, "Take it in." ”

The door creaked, and the servant cautiously walked in with a letter in his hand.

Sima Yu took the letter, and the man quickly retreated.

This is a letter with no words written on the outside of the envelope, but judging from the delicacy of the envelope paper, it should have come from a large family or a person of high status.

Sima Yu understood seven or eight points in his heart when he saw it, and hurriedly put it in his pocket calmly, and said: "So I must win the next Shoufu Competition, as long as I win, I will never give him a chance to jump again." ”

This year is the 54th year of the Zhao, and next year will be the year of the 11th "69 Competition".

Although Jiang Chuanxiong has made it clear that he will not participate, the emperor assigned him to train a group of contestants in the "Ninth Five-Year Competition", so Jiang Chuanxiong must go all out to tutor them during this time, which just picked up a gap for Sima Yu.

As long as Sima Yu works hard at this critical juncture, next year's Shoufu competition will not be without a chance to win.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu suddenly came to his senses and fully understood the reason why Sima Yu let Jiang Yuetang go this time.

Indeed, at such a moment, of course, it is wiser to deal with Jiang Chuanxiong.

"Then adults should prepare well, with the qualifications and abilities of adults, the odds of winning are still quite large. Zhang said.

Sima Yu smiled slightly, lowered his head and drank tea.

Whenever Sima Yu focused on drinking tea, it meant that he was chasing customers, so Zhang Yu hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Zhang Yu left, Sima Yu immediately opened the letter and looked at it.

The letter was written by Concubine Meng, and she asked him to meet him at the Mingyan Teahouse upstairs in Vientiane at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Sima Yu suddenly showed hatred on his face, and tore up the letter with his hand.

Now that His Majesty is keeping such a close eye on him and her, she dares to take the initiative to ask him?

Back then, he was demoted by Li Pei because of exchanging private messages with her, and if he was found again this time, then his black gauze hat might not be able to be protected.

After all, he had done enough for her, and he didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore, so he didn't want to go to this appointment.

Although Concubine Meng is a little smart, she is too easy to be emotional, and he can't hide from her now.

But what if she had any news about the investigation into the death of the Emperor, who was the result of a conspiracy between him and her, so the progress of the investigation was the most important thing he had been concerned about all these years.

After thinking about it for a long time, Sima Yu decided to go to the appointment.

In order to cover his eyes, he changed his appearance the next day before quietly leaving through the back door.

As soon as he stepped into the box, Concubine Meng knew that he was coming, and hurriedly motioned for the two palace maids beside her to retreat.

Sima Yu sat down in the seat in front of Concubine Meng, did not salute her, and asked in a stiff tone: "There are people from His Majesty everywhere right now, do you dare to ask me out, do you think your life is long?"

Concubine Meng took her eyes off his face and said in a low voice: "But there has been no movement on your side, I don't know what the situation is on your side, I have been worried every day lately, so I have to see you alone." ”

After she said this, she moved her gaze to his face and said, "There are only you and me here, can't you show me your true face?"

Sima Yu said coldly: "What, are you still worried that I am a fake?"

Concubine Meng's face turned red, and she said, "It's not, I just think it's weird to talk to a mask." ”

"You haven't seen me for a long time, so you want to see me, right?" Sima Yu said in a playful tone.

Concubine Meng's face turned even redder, glared at him fiercely, and twisted her face to the side like a coquettish.

Sima Yu paused, and finally slowly gave away the mask.

Only then did Concubine Meng turn her head to look at him.

"You seem to have lost weight. Concubine Meng said.

Sima Yu felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and said: "Talk about the key points, and disperse early after speaking, so as not to be targeted." ”

A trace of disappointment appeared on Concubine Meng's face, but she was not angry, she looked at him and said, "Recently, Your Majesty has ostensibly withdrawn the people sent to various places, but secretly he has not relaxed, and at the end of last month, he quietly sent a group of people to various places to continue the search. ”

Sima Yu raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were not full of vigilance, and asked, "Who did you learn about it from?"

"I have installed someone in the brocade guard. ”

Sima Yu glanced at her, with a faint look of approval in his eyes.

He originally thought that she would not care about this matter anymore, but he didn't expect that she had been secretly paying attention, and he suddenly felt like he was in the same boat through thick and thin.

To be honest, although this woman always has trouble with him on the surface, she still cares about him in her heart.

As if he had suddenly received a gift, Sima Yu grinned lightly and said, "Oh, how many people are arranged over there?"

Seeing that his tone was much more relaxed, Concubine Meng suddenly relaxed and replied, "Three." ”

"Add a few more. Sima Yu said casually.

Jinyiwei is the closest institution to the emperor, and it may know first-hand information at any time, but if too few people are sent, it is very likely that important news will be missed, so Sima Yu feels that he must either not do it, or do it enough.

Concubine Meng said: "It's inconvenient for me to send more people, and Your Majesty on my side is also taking care of it, why don't you send a few more from your side?"

I tried to pull him into the water again.

He glanced at her and pondered for a while before saying, "My side has been being watched very closely recently. ”

Concubine Meng's face was slightly gloomy, and she said, "Then it's better to maintain three." ”

Sima Yu was silent.

Concubine Meng said: "I see that Your Majesty is unwilling to give up on this case easily, so I am particularly worried, and I specially asked you to come out today, mainly to ask you - did you know that Zhou Tong was once under your command and those people were disposed of by you?"
