Chu Lige remembered another purpose for him to come to Mufu today, looking at her hesitant and withdrawn appearance, his eyes were fixed, and a silent sigh quietly fell to the bottom of his heart.

What happened when Mu Shaoxuan got married must have left a deep shadow in her heart!

There was no urgency about that matter at the moment, maybe he should tell her later.

Chu Lige didn't stay in Fenglin Ju any longer, only drank a cup of tea, watched her sit quietly for a while, and then left.

Mu Xiaofeng's scalp tingled at the strange and complicated look of his parting face, and he always felt as if he had become his locked prey. He let her struggle freely, only because he was convinced that she could only come and go freely in his world.

Thinking that he had inadvertently compared himself to his prey, Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but be discouraged and wanted to pat his head.

She was frightened by the strange eyes of the Chu Overlord, right?

"Miss? Miss? ”

Seeing that she had stared at a page of the book for a long time without moving, Red Shadow knew that she was in a daze, reached out and shook it in front of her eyes, and called out several times in a row.

Mu Xiaofeng came back to her senses, and unhurriedly put the book in her hand on the table, then looked at her and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"There's news coming back from outside." Hongying looked at her with a deep brow as if there was something difficult to decide, and after a slight pause, she continued, "Your Highness asked those bold fanatics who insulted the royal family to be sent to Dali Temple to be beaten. ”

Mu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were almost imperceptibly curved.

A daring fanatic who insults the royal family?

Well, that's a good excuse, she likes it.

But playing the board?

Doubts flashed from the bottom of his eyes, and then the shining eyes seemed to be dyed with a layer of impenetrable fog, which made people feel complicated and difficult to understand. However, behind this layer of fog, there is a faint joy.

She looked at the old aunt and they were crying, and felt upset, and she really thought about letting them peel off their skin.

That guy seems to be dustless under his eyes, as if he doesn't care about everything, how can he see through what she thinks in her heart? Is there really such a thing as a heart and soul in this world?

Seeing her expression, Red Shadow was silent for a while before continuing, "In addition, there is one more thing. ”

Mu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, his sparkling eyes obviously revealing interest, "What else is going on?" ”

No matter what it is, in short, it is something that makes Mu Yongchao's family unhappy, and it is a good thing for her.

"When Mu Yunzhao's coffin was sent home, a little pleasant accident happened." Red Shadow looked at her with a strange look in her eyes, "It is said that when the coffin was delivered to the door, it suddenly spontaneously developed a fever. ”

Mu Xiaofeng was stunned, his expression was stunned, and his voice was unexpectedly raised, "Burned?" ”

"Yes," Red Shadow nodded affirmatively, "the slave heard that the fire was still very fierce, and it only took a moment to burn the coffin and the corpse to ashes, and the servants could only watch from the side, but they couldn't even do anything." ”

Mu Xiaofeng squinted his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Sure enough, you have your own sin." ”

Mu Yunzhao's scourge was burned by a nameless fire and completely extinguished.

There is not even a scum left, and even if the old aunt has the courage to do so in the future, there will be no evidence to falsely accuse them of murder. I don't want to come to Mufu again.

His eyes rolled, and Mu Xiaofeng was faintly thoughtful in his doubts, "However, how could the coffin suddenly set fire to the fire?" ”

This kind of silent solution to hidden dangers, how can she look like that fox's merry style?

Red Shadow frowned, also looking confused and dazed, "This...... The slave and maid did not know. ”

"If you don't know, you don't know," Mu Xiaofeng lowered his head, picked up the book again and read it, "Anyway, this matter is over, and I will be relieved." Later, when she had the chance, she would talk to the fox again.

It doesn't matter what the process is, as long as the result is in her favor.

Mu Xiaofeng thought that this was over, but it was not. Because it was a series of sensational things such as carrying the coffin in front of the courtier's mansion, insulting the prince and suddenly catching fire, etc., the matter was reported to the palace the next day.

Emperor Chu had a lot of opportunities, and of course he would not care about this kind of thing that had nothing to do with the government. But when he heard that it was Mu Yongchao's son Mu Yunzhao who died and was burned to ashes, his brows twisted for a moment, and he even put aside the fold that he was holding in his hand to prepare the imperial approval.

"Spread the word that Zhang Guang and Zhang will enter the palace to see me."

The song was folded aside, and the brush was also thrown aside by him.

The emperor summoned him urgently, and Zhang Guang rode a fast horse to the palace.

In the imperial study, Emperor Chu sat behind the imperial case, his sharp eyes were half-squinted, and he squinted at Zhang Guang, whose breath was not smooth.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "Zhang Yanshi, I heard that Mu Yunzhao is dead. ”

Zhang Guang was shocked, although he expected that this matter would stab Emperor Chu sooner or later, but he really didn't expect that it would only take half a day, and Emperor Chu couldn't wait to summon him into the palace for this matter.

Emperor Chu's eyes were deep, and there was no need to deliberately show the emperor's coercion, just the empty and solemn atmosphere of the imperial study was so depressing that it made people tremble.

Zhang Guang stared at him coldly, and he didn't even dare to exhale.

After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and said respectfully to Emperor Chu, "Your Majesty, Mu Yunzhao is indeed dead. ”

Emperor Chu smiled at him, "Huh? So what you told me before, I guess Zhang Yan won't forget it, right? ”

Zhang Guang's face changed slightly, and he was already frightened in his heart, but he was still forced to calm down on his face.

"Your Majesty is forgiving, and the minister never dares to forget it."

Emperor Chu smiled, his laughter was low and vague, "That thing can be recovered?" ”

Zhang Guang chuckled in his heart, knowing that if he asked directly today, he couldn't avoid this matter no matter what.

However, it was as if the important object had suddenly disappeared. Mu Yunzhao died under his sword, but he couldn't find that thing.

He thought about the possibility of lying, but as soon as this thought arose, he immediately extinguished it.

To lie in front of Emperor Chu is to deceive the king. It's okay if you don't seriously investigate this crime, but if you investigate it carefully, it's a fatal crime.

He would rather be punished for telling the truth now than telling a lie and racking his brains to tell countless lies to make a difference.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through him, and Emperor Chu was right in front of him, so naturally he didn't have time to think about it carefully.

Zhang Guang lowered his head, took a more humble posture, and said with sincere fear, "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and he has no clue yet." ”

"Smack!"

Emperor Chu's eyes were round, and he slapped the case angrily, leaning forward slightly with his upper body, and the momentum around his body was not obvious, "I remember, it was you who said that the token was taken away by Mu Yunzhao before. ”

In order to recover the token, he also made an exception and issued an assassination warrant in Jeonnam Chu.

"Now that others have turned to ashes, you told me that the token is gone, and its whereabouts are completely unknown?"

That's a token that can mobilize thousands of soldiers and horses in the outskirts of the city!

In the imperial city, a few thousand soldiers and horses are not a small number.

How Emperor Chu is not angry.

And Zhang Guang knew the importance of the matter that he was frightened.

However, if that thing is lost, it is lost.

It's not something he's afraid to find.

Zhang Guang's face turned white, and he hurriedly gave his hand to promise, "Please forgive your majesty for some time, and the minister will definitely get the token back as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Chu snorted, "You'd better as soon as possible!" ”

Out of the imperial study, and then out of the palace gate, Zhang Guang touched his forehead, which was bleeding from the ink inkstone, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mu Yunzhao had turned to ashes, and he wanted to know how easy it would be to retrieve the token within the time limit. But it's not easy, and he has to look for it.

This thing is very important, if he can't find it back within the time limit, I'm afraid that he won't be able to keep his head.

Frowning and sighing secretly, he flicked his whip hard, "drove" and cleared the exit, and then rode away aimlessly.

"Mu Yunzhao has never returned to Beijing since he fled abroad, and I have been sending people to secretly squat near his house to prove that he has indeed not come back before." Zhang Guangce wandered aimlessly on the street, frowning and talking to himself blankly, "He suddenly showed up on Mu Shaoxuan's wedding day......." ”

Zhang Guang thought about it and thought about it for a long time, although he still couldn't understand why Mu Yunzhao was able to avoid many eyes and ears and suddenly came back and suddenly appeared in Mu Mansion. However, what he could be sure of was that since Mu Yunzhao had returned, even if Mu Yunzhao did not carry that important token with him, it must have been hidden not far away.

If he had just sneaked back that day, then the token must have been near the capital.

Although he guessed the general direction, Zhang Guang still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.

The scope was too broad, and the token was such a small thing that he had no way to find it.

"It's also possible that he carried it with him at the time, but he accidentally left it somewhere in the Mu Mansion." Thinking of this, Zhang Guang regretted infinitely, why didn't he leave him alone to ask the whereabouts of the token before sending him on the road!

But the situation at that time ...... Zhang Guang was a little annoyed and flicked a few more times, and he couldn't tolerate mercy on his subordinates at all.

Finding a token that isn't even the size of a slap is harder than looking for a needle in a haystack.

Zhang Guang thought about it for a long time and decided to start with Mufu first.

However, he wandered around the streets for a long time, and just as he was about to return home, a little boy of seven or eight years old suddenly ran towards him with an envelope.

"Uncle, uncle, your stuff."

Zhang Guangle stopped his horse, looked at him with a stunned expression, and pointed to himself, "My thing?" Little brother, you're not mistaken, right? ”

The little boy shook his head, stared at him very seriously, tilted his head, and asked very seriously, "May I ask uncle, are your name Zhang Guang?" Your father is Zhang Gongyu, the general of the dynasty, right? ”

Zhang Guang chuckled in his heart, he put away his stunned expression and leaned over and stretched out his hand to the little boy, "You're right, I'm Zhang Guang, it seems that the thing in your hand is indeed for me." ”

Zhang Guang got the envelope, and handed the broken silver to the kid in a rare and good-natured manner.

Seeing the little boy running away happily, he opened the envelope and pulled out the letterhead inside.

He had only half-pulled out the letterhead, and his face immediately changed.

It was a rubbing, to be precise, a rubbing of a token.

That token was exactly what he was looking for when he wanted to break his head and had no clue, and it was precisely because of this token that he was severely reprimanded by Emperor Chu.

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

After his face changed greatly, Zhang Guang stared at this rubbing, and really wanted to laugh a few times.

With a shake of his hand, he quickly took out the letterhead completely.

The letterhead was fully unfolded in the sunlight, and the rubbings on it were crystal clear.

He squinted his eyes and carefully checked it over and over again, confirming that it was indeed the token he had carelessly lost, and finally couldn't help but laugh excitedly, "Haha, that's it, that's it!" ”

This joy of regaining it still made Zhang Guang laugh out loud.

However, he only laughed a few times, and then quickly lost his voice. It's just rubbing, and it's not that the real token has been recovered, and he's getting carried away with joy now, it's too early.

With a narrowing of his eyes, he looked at the letterhead backwards, and his face immediately changed again.

It was unbelievable excitement just now, but now it's unexpected surprise and anger.

"As I expected, this thing landed there."

On the back of the letterhead, only one sentence was written, "If you want to get the token, you can see you at the Imperial Fresh Pavilion tomorrow." ”

A very simple sentence, there is no payment, and there is no redundant request.

But it was precisely because he didn't make any requests that Zhang Guang felt even more angry and uneasy in his heart.

Because this letter has already given him a subtle hint of where this letter came from.

In addition to confessing to Emperor Chu, Zhang Guang didn't tell anyone about the loss of the token, even his father Zhang Gongyu didn't know.

Tomorrow, if he wants to get the token back, he naturally can't say anything.

The implication is that this designates the person who lets him go at a certain time and place, which is actually equivalent to limiting him to be alone in disguise.

Zhang Guang pinched the seemingly ordinary letterhead, and unconsciously exposed the green tendons on the back of his hand.

"If you go by yourself, you will go by yourself, will I Zhang Guang still be afraid that he will not succeed as a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken."

Well, although on the surface, Zhang Guang said it with a lot of arrogance. But he didn't know what happened in Mufu's new house that day, and whether anyone had a secret peek into the details.

Thinking of what happened in Mufu that day, Zhang Guang's heart was as if he was suddenly stuffed with a ball of cotton, and he was uncomfortable.

The excitement of just finding the token, in the blink of an eye, is gone.

This night, Zhang Guang tossed and turned, unable to sleep at all.

The next morning he got up with two black bags under his eyes, but it was still far from the time agreed in the letter, and he had been absent-mindedly and vaguely restless since he got up, walking around the house frequently, and looking at the hourglass resting in the corner.

Finally, in the afternoon, he wiped the extremely sharp Qingfeng, put back the scabbard and carried it with him, and then went out to the Imperial Fresh Pavilion with anxiety.

When I arrived at the Imperial Fresh Pavilion, I followed the instructions on the letterhead and found the private room.

He took a deep breath outside the door, and then raised his hand and knocked lightly.

The sound of "dong dong dong" sounded suddenly, but it was like a hammer falling silently on his heart.

"Come in!" The voice was light and cold, and it seemed to imply a faint anger, as if mixed with shallow excitement.

Zhang Guang frowned, hesitated outside the door for a moment, and then raised his hand to push the door
