"I don't know if Shen Zhizhou can come back today. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Chengqi changed the topic and looked at the gate of the east city.

"Master Hou, why don't you go back to the house first, I'll be here to guard?" Huo Qing proposed, and said resolutely: "I will definitely help Master Hou get what you want from Shen Zhizhou." ”

"It's fine. Shen Zhizhou trusts you, and you will take the things, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to get them. After weighing it, Li Chengqi came to such a conclusion.

"Hou Ye," just as he turned around and walked in the direction of the Hou Mansion, Huo Qing suddenly stopped him and asked, "Hou Ye, why don't you consider telling Shen Zhizhou what happened to you?" Shen Zhizhou used to be the mentor of the second prince, and he knew a lot about the second prince, if you confessed to him, he may not believe it. ”

"Huo Qing," Li Chengqi's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly, "You forgot what I told you?" You have to rot in your stomach and never mention it to anyone. In any case, the second prince in your heart, he has gone. ”

Huo Qing lowered his eyes and said no more.

But he said that Shen Yan returned home and didn't dare to go out easily. She had to wait for her father's return. However, a day passed, two days passed, and Shen Shichong did not come back. This worries him.

"Why is Miss in such a hurry?" Xiyu persuaded her, "The master will go to the capital this time, and I don't know when I will come back." If he had come back late, it must have been delayed by something. ”

Shen Yan still couldn't unravel her frowns.

"What's wrong with Miss? Usually the old man goes far away, but I don't see the young lady so worried. Xiyu couldn't help but feel strange.

"Xiyu, you go find two pairs of hats, I still have to go to the East City Gate to have a look." Shen Yan ignored Xiyu's doubts and took the idea directly.

"Can you avoid those children who are talking nonsense?" Xiyu doesn't think it's a good idea. Soon, she happily proposed, "Miss, in addition to wearing hats, we should also change into simple clothes. So that no one will recognize us. ”

"Well, you go and get ready."

On the street, there are still children singing songs about Shen Yan, and Shen Yan and Xiyu, who have changed their clothes, will still go to their hearts when they hear it, but they can't stop it. They came to a teahouse near the east gate of the city, found a place overlooking the street below and the entrance of the city tower, and asked the shopkeeper Xiao Er to make a pot of tea for them, determined to wait until dark.

"Look, Miss!" Xiyu suddenly burst out in shock, pointing to the man sitting next to her and letting Shen Yan take a look.

Shen Yan turned around and found that the person Xiyu was referring to was actually the man who had saved them from danger two days ago. He sat there, sipping his tea, and looked out the window from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

If she can meet him again, Shen Yan will never miss the opportunity to get acquainted with him. She stepped forward and laughed, "Childe is also drinking tea here?" ”

Huo Qing glanced at her, although he was surprised by her appearance, there was no expression on his face.

"Childe, do you remember me? I was besieged by a group of people on the street the day before yesterday, and it was Childe who helped me. ”

"At this time, Miss Shen shouldn't show her face." Huo Qing kindly reminded him, but his words came out, but he seemed so indifferent. With that, he took his sword, got up and left.

"This guy is really uninteresting." Xiyu couldn't help but sneer, "Miss is grateful for his kindness, but he doesn't appreciate it." ”

"That's it." Shen Yan returned to his place and sat down, smiled, and didn't think about Huo Qing anymore. If it were her temperament in the previous life, she would definitely hold on to Huo Qing, and in this life, she wouldn't.

"Miss, don't go to heart." Xiyu was afraid that Shen Yan would be hurt, so she persuaded her, "That boy ignores you, maybe he doesn't dare to get close to you because he listens to those children's songs." This is to blame, and to blame for the man who spreads the ballad. When the master comes back, see if they dare to sing nonsense......"

"Daddy's back." Shen Yan suddenly let out a voice of surprise, looking at a car at the city gate and being happy: "My father is finally back." Regardless of whether Xiyu saw it or not, she hurried downstairs to meet her father.

Out of the gate of the teahouse, she saw Shen Shichong's car stop in front of the man who had saved her before but was so indifferent to her. Soon, Shen Yan also saw Shen Shichong get out of the car, and after chatting with the man for a few words, she invited him with a smile and got into the car together.

Seeing this, Shen Yan was so surprised that she stopped.

"Does the master know that son?" Xiyu on the side was also surprised. However, she didn't think much about it, and when the car was about to rush to her side, she beckoned to Bai Zhong, who was riding a horse on the side: "Bai Gongzi......"

"Cherish the jade!" Shen Yan hurriedly blocked her mouth and motioned her to be silent.

Bai Zhong seemed to hear someone shouting about himself, but when he looked around, he didn't see any acquaintance, so he gave up. It can be seen that he is very proud to be able to walk with Shen Zhizhou. And just as he was enjoying this vanity, the sound of some children's songs caught his attention.

"Lord Shen of Ning'an Zhizhou, honest and honest and loves the people, but he has a wicked girl, the evil girl is beautiful and famous Yan'er, Yan'er loves Ning Anhou, is not afraid of refusal and is not ashamed, and vows not to marry Ning'anhou, which makes Lord Shen anxious and white-headed."

Hearing such a ballad, Bai Zhong immediately dismounted, grabbed a child and asked unhappily, "Who taught you to sing nonsense?" ”

"Everybody sings like that." The child was not afraid of Bai Zhong, so he just smiled and asked, "Bai Gongzi, where have you been, we haven't seen you for a few days, and we haven't eaten the sugar gourd you bought for several days." ”

Bai Zhong let go of him, thought about it, took out a copper plate from his pocket, pinched it on his fingertips, and said: "You go and help me find out, who sang this ballad first, I will give you more copper plates like this, not only can you eat a lot of sugar gourds, but your friends can also eat them." ”

"Really?"

"Retractor."

Inside the carriage, Shen Shichong and Huo Qing talked about business, but there was no surprise that there was a piercing sound of singing and ballads.

"Lord Shen is going to the old mansion in the capital here, but can you get back the brocade box that Empress Duanjing gave you?"

"Huo Huwei, I don't understand, why do you believe Ning Anhou so much, and actually give him the key to the brocade box given by Empress Duanjing." Shen Shichong did not mean to take out the brocade box.

This brocade box was given to Shen Shichong by Empress Duanjing in the year of the crown ceremony of the second prince Liu Xian. The brocade box is very ordinary, what is not ordinary is that the brocade box is locked, and Queen Duanjing did not give Shen Shi the key. At that time, Shen Shichong also asked Queen Duanjing why the brocade box was locked but there was no key to unlock it, but Empress Duanjing only told him one sentence incomprehensibly: I hope this brocade box will never be opened.

After that, Shen Shichong kept the brocade box and didn't think much about it. Time passed, Empress Duanjing was killed, the power of the eldest prince increased sharply, the princes were persecuted, and Shen Shichong was also degraded. When he left the capital, Shen Shichong was very disappointed with the royal family and the imperial court, so he didn't take the things rewarded by the emperor, the queen, and the princes. I went to the old mansion in the capital to get this brocade box, all because Ning Anhou mentioned it to him.

On that day, Ning Anhou told him: "Huo Qing gave me a key, which is said to have been given to the second prince by Empress Duanjing before her death, so that he could keep it safe." Empress Duanjing said that this key could open a brocade box that she gave to Lord Shen. ”
