This is the first time that Shen Xian has observed Diao Chan's skills up close, and it turns out that Yang Biao's training is really in place, Diao Chan is like a ghost swimming among the masked people, before they can react, they are either stabbed in the heart or wiped their necks, and in the blink of an eye, the attackers are only the lucky one who was designated by Shen Xian.

"Ma'am." Diao Chan casually pulled a piece of cloth from the corpse on the ground, she wiped her dagger clean and inserted it back into the scabbard on her forearm, and looked up at the survivor: "Leave this to me." ”

"Let him speak." Shen Xian said lightly: "I want to know who sent them - although I have almost guessed it." ”

"These people-" Zhuge Liang suddenly said in a low voice: "It's the secret guard of the State Pastoral Mansion, I've seen them before." ”

Diao Chan and Shen Xian turned back to look at Zhuge Liang together, but found that he was maintaining the posture of covering Huang Yueying's eyes with both hands and protecting her by his side, so the two couldn't help but raise their eyebrows and show a meaningful smile.

No one spoke, and the surroundings fell silent, and then Huang Yueying gently patted Zhuge Liang's arm and pulled his palm off his face: "Thank you." ”

"Nothing." Zhuge Liang shook his head: "They came for me, and I dragged you down." ”

"Not really, boy." Before Huang Yueying could speak, Shen Xian said sincerely: "They actually came to me, you two have suffered an unjustified disaster, and the person who should say sorry is me." ”

Shen Xian reminded that Zhuge Liang remembered that when she fought with the masked man before, she said that it was Pang Tong who leaked her information, and Zhuge Liang, who was worried about Pang Tong, subconsciously defended: "It's not Shi Yuan, Shi Yuan is not this kind of person!" ”

"I know." Shen Xian said casually: "Maybe he was just tricked...... Just wait until you see him and ask, if he's still alive. ”

Zhuge Liang was frightened by Shen Xian and trembled slightly.

"Who?" Shen Xian said suddenly, she turned her head sharply to look at the bushes not far away: "Come out!" ”

A moment later, the five men staggered out of the woods.

Shen Xian's gaze swept over those people one by one, and in the vigilance of Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying, she squinted slightly: "Do you still know that you are back?" ”

"The Lord forgives sins!" The leader knelt down on one knee: "It's too late for the subordinates." ”

Now is not the time to hold them accountable, Shen Xian decided to let these Si Liwei go for the time being: "Dispose of these corpses, then take that person away, and ask him who instructed them to come to trouble, I want evidence." ”

"Yes!" Si Liwei said respectfully: "Lord, the military advisor ......"

"Let the military advisor remember to take the medicine." Shen Xian quickly interrupted Si Liwei's words: "Don't bother me, go quickly!" ”

Si Liwei: "......"

In the end, it was Diao Chan who sent away these guards with a cold and noble gaze.

"Who the hell do they listen to?" Shen Xian complained to Diao Chan dissatisfiedly: "Do you want to rebel? ”

Diao Chan said tactfully: "Madam, I think the military advisor is probably just worried about your ......" and his child in your belly.

Shen Xian didn't want to continue discussing this topic, she looked up at the sky.

The sun had completely sunk to the other side of the mountain, and a handful of stars scattered over the night sky were beautiful.

"Let's go," Shen Xian said to Zhuge Liang with one hand on her waist: "Send you back, send Miss Huang first." ”

"No need," Huang Yueying subconsciously refused: "I can go back by myself, but you ...... madam"

If you have a pregnant woman with a strong belly, don't run around, okay? How scary something happened!

Zhuge Liang frowned, he looked at Shen Xian, then at Huang Yueying, and said hesitantly: "Mrs. Liu, I will send you back first, and then send Yueying back." ”

Shen Xian smiled, she shook her head, and cast a reassuring look at Zhuge Liang: "Now you need to worry about you instead of me, lead the way, where is Miss Huang's house?" ”

Zhuge Liang wanted to say something, but Diao Chan suddenly smiled slightly: "Master Zhuge Gongzi, with me, Madam will be fine." ”

Thinking of Diao Chan's unpredictable skills just now, and looking at Huang Yueying, who was frightened and still trembling unconsciously, Zhuge Liang finally agreed.

"I have a question," Diao Chan suddenly said, "Miss Huang, these people are not bad, how did you and Mr. Zhuge escape here?" ”

Huang Yueying blinked, she grabbed Zhuge Liang's sleeve with one hand, took a deep breath and tried to calm her feelings, and then untied a small ...... from her back belt Crossbow machine?

"Use this," Huang Yueying handed the crossbow arrow to Diao Chan: "This is what I made myself...... Improvement, I、I like to mess around with nothing, it's not a serious thing......"

Shen Xian watched curiously as Diao Chan twisted the crossbow machine around three times and five by two, she raised her hand to aim at the big tree not far away, and after pulling the trigger, she only heard a clear whistle of "whoosh", and the small arrow clusters pierced the trunk of the tree, three points into the wood, and the tail feathers were still trembling slightly.

This power ...... Shen Xian was stunned, she stared at Huang Yueying with round eyes, as if she was staring at a pile of jewels that shone with golden light.

"Miss Huang, are you interested in coming to work in Yizhou...... Work...... Uh, into the office? Under Zhuge Liang's expressionless gaze, Shen Xian sincerely held Huang Yueying's hand: "We lack talents like you, the moon is easy to discuss, there is a formal establishment, and you are an official certified by the imperial court, I promise!" ”

Hardware and gold weekends, 20 days of paid vacation every year, and bonuses and dividends in the middle of the year, such a good condition really does not consider changing jobs?

Although Huang Yueying rejected Shen Xian, she sincerely invited Shen Xian to sit at her house.

"Thank you Miss Huang for your kindness, but I'd better go back early." Shen Xian smiled slightly: "Please pay more attention to safety these days, it's best to stay at home and don't go out, otherwise Kong Ming will be worried." ”

Huang Yueying's face was slightly red, she couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang, who was waiting on the side of the road with Diao Chan, and said in a low voice: "Madame, don't be joking. ”

"No," Shen Xian shook her head: "He has always protected you...... In short, it's better for the parties to sue you for this kind of thing. ”

After chatting casually, Shen Xian said goodbye, and before leaving, she looked at Huang Yueying meaningfully: "We'll meet soon." ”

Huang Yueying's gaze looked very blank.

After Shen Xian left, Huang Chengyan walked out of the house slowly on crutches: "Kong Ming is okay?" ”

"The lady helped him." Huang Yueying hurriedly stepped forward to support her father: "She looks amazing, although she is pregnant, ......"

Huang Chengyan frowned slightly: "Pregnant? ”

Huang Yueying was puzzled: "What's the matter, father?" ”

"That lady is right, you stay at home and don't go out for the past two days." Huang Chengyan diverted the topic: "Mrs. Cai will not give up, she doesn't know who that lady is now, and she just wants to get rid of the eldest prince's henchmen when she sends someone to assassinate, but once Mrs. Cai learns her true identity, it will be difficult for the matter to end." ”

"Father," Huang Yueying bit her lip, "You mean that the defeat of Jingsheng Gong has been decided?" ”

Huang Chengyan glanced at Huang Yueying deeply: "Yueying, it's time for your eyes to look outside." The current Jing, Henan, and Yanzhou are like walking on the edge of a cliff, and any change in one side may trigger a series of chain reactions, leading to unknown consequences, and that lady came from this. The eldest prince and the second prince have a deep grudge, and they use it to let the two parties fight each other and bring about their own destruction, so that others can reap the benefits of the fisherman......"

Huang Chengyan said as he walked into the house.

Huang Yueying frowned: "Then what should we do if we ......"?

"Jingsheng Gong's health is not very good, the eldest son and the second prince are not in the climate, and the Cai family controls the military power...... Nanyang is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is as dangerous as a tired egg. Huang Chengyan sighed, and then he changed his words: "I think Kong Ming's kid is good, and you are about the same age, why don't I settle things with him first?" ”

Huang Yueying was stunned by Huang Chengyan's divine turn, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, her face turned red: "Father, father? ”

"Then it's settled." Huang Chengyan shook his daughter's hand: "The sooner the better, I'll ask Kong Ming tomorrow." ”

Shen Xian had no idea that Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying were about to tie the knot, she was standing in the empty room with a gloomy face, surrounded by Si Liwei who were kneeling all over the ground.

Jia Xu is gone.

The secret agent placed by Si Liwei in the state pastoral mansion said that Jia Xu had resigned and left after giving Liu Qi daily guidance, and that he was normal at that time; But until now, Jia Xu has not come back, which means that he suddenly disappeared on the way to work.

Diao Chan stood to the side with his head down, his expression gloomy.

"Lost?" Shen Xian's gaze was as sharp as a blade, and her gaze swept over everyone in turn: "You didn't release people by his side?" That's your boss. ”

"Si Liwei's manpower in Nanyang is not right," Diao Chan explained in a low voice: "There are only thirty people in total, half of them are sent to protect you, and the rest maintain the operation of the intelligence network, carrying out surveillance and investigation work. ”

Shen Xian closed her eyes: "How is the situation on the eldest prince's side?" ”

Si Liwei replied, "There is nothing abnormal, he doesn't seem to be aware of it." ”

"Where's Mrs. Cai?" Shen Xian asked again.

Si Liwei hesitated for a moment: "Mrs. Cai sent a secret guard to assassinate Kong Ming today, but her action is really strange......

It is indeed very strange that Shen Xian had tested the other party when the masked man was fighting, and she began to think that the other party had told the truth from Pang Tong, and had discovered her identity, and it was for her, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying were just injured by mistake. But now that I think about it, if Mrs. Cai really knew who Shen Xian was, and the enemy generals infiltrated her territory, she would never dare to hide such a big thing, and she would definitely sue Liu Biao, and Liu Biao, who had been cornered, no matter how he chose, should not have only sent a few secret guards to assassinate Shen Xian, he should have led a large army to come to the door to arrest people.

Plus Jia Xu's disappearance today...... Shen Xian pondered for a moment and then said in a low voice: "It's not me, Mrs. Cai has attacked the eldest prince." ”

The attack on Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying was to deter Mr. Shui Jing and Huang Chengyan.

For these two celebrities who have a lot of influence in Nanyang, Liu Biao invited them several times but couldn't invite them out of the mountain, so he had a thorn in his heart that was not deep or shallow. If these two had always shown that they had no interest in political affairs, Liu Biao might have let down his guard, but Mr. Shui Jing came forward to recommend Jia Xu to Liu Qi under Shen Xian's entrustment.

This behavior is regarded as taking sides in Mrs. Cai's eyes, as for what Liu Biao thinks, maybe he is terminally ill and doesn't know at all, maybe he has acquiesced to Mrs. Cai's actions.

On Shen Xian's side, Mrs. Cai should have only found out that her fake identity in Nanyang was related to Jia Xu.

In this way, the reason is much clearer, Jia Xu is involved in the dispute between Nanyang's concubines.

"As long as his true identity is not revealed, there is room for maneuver." Shen Xian comforted Diao Chan: "Don't worry, Wen He has never put himself in a dangerous situation, since Mrs. Cai took the time to kidnap him secretly, it means that Wen He is still useful to her, and he is safe in a short time." ”

Diao Chan nodded: "My lord, I'm fine, it's just that Mrs. Cai started too fast, and our arrangements haven't been in place yet." ”

Tai Shici has been waiting in Dangyang for a long time, and Sun Ce was also sent out early by Zhou Yu, who received Guo Jia's letter for help, and will arrive at the border between Jiangxia and Nanyang in the near future, only Zhang Xiu has not yet sent the news.

But Zhang Xiu's absence is not a big problem, in fact, the appearance of one of these three parties is enough to take Nanyang, which is in civil strife, and for the sake of insurance, Shen Xian and Guo Jiacai arranged three groups of people.

"If necessary, you still need to take a little risk." Shen Xian smiled slightly, she looked at Diao Chan seriously: "I handed over the matter of finding Wen He and rescuing him to you, just let it go, I will be responsible for the consequences, is this okay?" ”

There was murderous intent in Diao Chan's beautiful amber eyes, like a sharp blade with golden light. She nodded lightly: "Don't worry, lord." ”

"I'll ...... it myself" Shen Xian rubbed her sour waist and whispered: "Pang Shiyuan, let's have a good talk." ”

Shen Xian wanted to settle accounts with the big-mouthed Pang Tong, but Pang Tong was so anxious now that he had no time to deal with others.

Pang Tong was sent by Pang Degong to go to the study to copy the Analects.

The cause of the matter is this, since Liu Biao was sick and bedridden, Cai Mao replaced Liu Biao to help him complete the daily routine of "persuading Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing to come out". Although Cai Mao felt that even if he wore out his mouth, it would be impossible to drag these two old foxes out of the mountains and forests, but the work assigned by the boss must be completed, so Cai Mao had to go to these two homes regularly to report on the situation.

This time, Cai Mao went to visit Pang Degong, and happened to meet Pang Tong who was also there. A few people talked casually, and Cai Mao seemed to inadvertently say that a mysterious master had recently come to Liu Qi's side, and he had helped the eldest prince avoid Liu Biao's reproach several times.

After saying this, Cai Mao sighed half-truthfully, to the effect that the masters of Nanyang can count them on one finger, and they are all carrying hoes and farming in the mountains, and I don't know what kind of luck the eldest prince has taken recently, and he can pick up such a treasure.

Of course, this is not Cai Mao's original words, he said it more secretly.

After listening to Cai Mao's words, Pang Tong said casually: "There are indeed not many masters in Nanyang, but the world is so big, there are no surprises, who knows where this master came from?" ”

Pang Tong regretted it after speaking, he felt that he should shut up. But Cai Mao squinted slightly, as if he had gotten what he wanted, and after diverting the topic, he chatted for a while and then left.

After Cai Mao left, Pang Degong asked slowly: "Do you know who the military advisor of the eldest prince is?" Is there anything else you're hiding from me? ”

Pang Tong pursed his lips and said nothing.

"It's late!" Pang Degong sighed: "From now on, you will stay at home for me, and don't go anywhere." ”

Pang Tong was anxious: "I have to remind them!" ”

"People plan well, where do you need to worry about it!" Pang Degong took out a thick dozen pieces of rice paper and put it in front of Pang Tong: "Copy the entire Analects five times, and don't want to go out if you can't finish copying." ”

When Pang Tong copied the fifteenth chapter of Wei Linggong, he suddenly heard a sound behind him, and looked back carelessly, Pang Tong was so frightened that he almost screamed out.

Originally, there was only one more person in Pang Tong's own study, Shen Xian was leaning in front of the screen with a cup of tea, and when she saw Pang Tong looking over, she raised her glass: "You continue, we'll talk after copying." ”

"You, you, you!" Pang Tong stared at Shen Xian in horror: "How did you get in!" ”

Shen Xian looked innocent: "You open the door, I'll come in." ”

Pang Tong rushed to the door and looked left and right, the courtyard was empty, only the moonlight gently scattered on the ground, and the illuminated courtyard was as clear as the water.

Pang Tong took a deep breath, he slammed the door shut and locked it, leaning his back against the door and looking at Shen Xian helplessly: "My lord, you scared me to death." ”

"Pang Degong is already asleep, he doesn't know I'm here." Shen Xian put down the teacup: "Let's talk casually, don't worry, I'm the only one who came." ”

"Did you tell someone else the news of Jia Wenhe?"
