Chapter 118: The Undercurrent Rises Again

Zhao Xian sat back in the chair, and the first time she had such a real sense of frustration was after her first taste of sweetness. The impact was too strong, and she felt slightly tired in her heart.

She doesn't want her future life to go on in never-ending calculations, but now the reality forces her to continue to work step by step, for the sake of her relatives and herself, she has to do her best and exhaust her brains.

"Is it really fun to fight with people?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile wryly.

"When the 'Hidden Gang' was in Yangzhou last year, if it wasn't for me and Ah Yan who happened to find their traces, even if 'Yi Jiangnan' could get out later, I don't know who framed them." Zhao Xian frowned and said.

"Kang Zhai assassinated the night and fell apart; assassination of officials in the palace; twice captive the Purple Smoke Sisters; The 'hidden gang' is all borrowed from the right time and place, and the bureau is exquisitely set up. Zhao Yunsheng's scheming is deep and his kung fu is so high, I am afraid that few people can match it. Zhao Xian thought that her eldest brother was sent to Xiangyang and was about to face this person, so she couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry too much, the left is just a soldier to block, the water comes to cover the earth, and the subordinates don't believe that the 'hidden gang' has no flaws." Ah Yan saw that Zhao Xian's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and when she saw her master lose her calm look for the first time, she couldn't help but open her mouth to appease.

"Ah Yan is right! I gave vent to myself first, and we were extremely passive when the enemy was dark and I was clear. Thinking of this, Zhao Xian perked up, stood up, and paced back and forth in the cabin for a few steps.

"The 'Hidden Gang' is interlocking, and the two sisters who have captured Ziyan will not be sent to Li Yuanhao immediately, if we chase it at this time, I am afraid that it will also be empty, and Ah Yan will keep an eye on the Western Xia Mission along the way." Zhao Xian commanded.

"Master, even if the Ziyan sisters are rescued, the 'Hidden Gang' may not be willing to give up, so we have failed the sisters again, and it is better to ......," Zhao Qiong said.

Zhao Xian nodded and said, "Now it has to be like this." ”

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, Zhao Qiong opened the door and went out, and after a while, he came in again and said to Zhao Xian: "Master, the prince sent someone to deliver the news, and the king of Chu doesn't seem to be very good." In addition, the emperor asked the master to enter the palace quickly. ”

In the west of the outer city of Bianliang, the Chu Wangfu next to the Jianlong Temple, there are voices coming out early in the morning, the main gate that has not been opened for many years is open at this time, under the command of the palace housekeeper, the people are busy in and out in an orderly manner, and the Chu Wangfu has been laid out with a new look.

Although the gorgeous scenery in the palace of the king of Chu has been revealed, in the best season of Bianliang, it still exudes the luxury of the palace against the backdrop of spring.

Today, Zhao Yunsheng, the second son of the Chu Palace, set up a luncheon in the palace to entertain the distinguished guests, the hour was still early, but there were also one or two guests who arrived at the house first, and the housekeeper of the palace hurriedly instructed the clever little man to go to the study to invite the second son to come.

The study in the palace of the king of Chu is located in the front yard and the backyard, and not far behind is a sparkling lake across a bluestone path, and the two-story study occupies the best position in the palace of the king of Chu.

Standing on the second floor of the study, the scenery of the entire palace can be seen at a glance, and those with good eyesight can even overlook the interior of Jianlong next door.

Zhao Yunsheng stood in front of the window on the second floor in a narrow-sleeved yew, staring intently at the peony flowers downstairs, and the peony flowers planted in the flower pot were placed on the shelves in several rows, including Yao Huang, Wei Zi and other precious species.

These are the flowers loved by his mother, the princess of Chu, who is most favored by the king of Chu today, and a wide variety of peony flowers are carefully planted in the palace of Xiangyang.

After a long time, he looked back at the attendant standing in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "So, my father can't survive this month?" ”

The attendant bowed his head and replied: "Hui Gongzi, this is what the Che Wangguan said when he sent a letter, in which he asked Gongzi to leave for Xiangyang as soon as possible, it seems that the eldest prince and they are also about to move, and the prince said that he and the princess will try their best to control the situation." ”

Zhao Yunsheng snorted coldly, his face sank, and said: "Yunjin is afraid that he has been waiting for this day a long time ago, he will be a fool's dream, but it's a pity that he ......!" Hum! You wrote back to the master on my behalf, saying that I would leave for Xiangyang tomorrow. ”

The attendant whispered in reply, and hurried downstairs again. The building was quiet for a moment, and Zhao Yunsheng looked around the study, thoughtful.

The so-called study, in fact, only the first floor is full of calligraphy and paintings, and the second floor is the place of daily discussions, only the most comfortable chairs, small tables and a chaise longue, and there is nothing superfluous, such a pattern is the same as the study in the palace of the king of Chu in Xiangyang.

When he was young, he often used his eldest half-brother to go in and out of his study, and he was always very envious when he was young, and often wondered when he would be able to enter this mysterious study.

At that time, his mother and son were still bullied by the many wives and concubines of his father in the house, and even his subordinates mostly ignored their mother and son. Crossing the many brothers to go in and out of the study, including anywhere in the house, was the greatest luxury in his life at that time.

Now it is not what it used to be, and now the most powerful people in the palace of the king of Chu are their mother and son, just as the mother concubine likes peony flowers and is the king of flowers, and wants to be the most noble person among the women of the Great Song Dynasty, his desire has become greater.

At the window, his eyes swept over the lake in the garden and looked to the east. There, the city within the city, surrounded by the outer city and the inner city of Bianliang, is where his dream lies.

A person hurriedly walked on the path by the lake, and Zhao Yunsheng retracted his gaze from afar, and walked down the stairs. When he arrived at the door of the study, he stretched out his hand to open the door, looked at the little guy who was panting and ran over, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The housekeeper asked the little one to come to Ming Ergongzi, and there are already distinguished guests in the front hall." The little guy was also very articulate.

Zhao Yunsheng nodded, did not answer, only raised his legs and walked out of the study door and walked towards the front hall.

At the same time, Zhao Xian was called by Zhao Zhen and went to the Shouchang Pavilion in the palace's imperial study.

"The leader of the Holy Sect has fled during the last palace turmoil?" Zhao Xian looked at Zhao Zhen suspiciously.

Zhao Zhen's face was as usual, nodded, and said: "Exactly, there is also the original governor of the palace who escaped. ”

"Only the two of them escaped? The rest of the Holy Church are still remanded in prison? Zhao Xian looked at Zhao Zhen, who was still reviewing the recital as if nothing had happened, and her mind turned slightly to understand. She smiled: "Could it be that there is a mystery in it? ”

Zhao Zhen stopped his pen, looked at Zhao Xian with appreciative eyes, and encouraged: "Sister Xian, you can boldly speculate, what is the mystery?" ”

Zhao Xian guessed: "The guards are so tight, these two people can escape, if they don't let the tiger return to the mountain, then they put a long line to catch a big fish." Wang Shouzhong is not the dark line of Brother Zhen? ”

There was a burst of applause, Zhao Zhen put down the pen in his hand, stood up, came to Zhao Xian, and said, "That sister Xian knows where the Holy Sect Holy Land is?" ”

Zhao Xian's eyelids twitched, she groaned for a while, and said slowly: "Bashu! ”

With these words, she also knew that she could no longer stay out of the matter. From the moment Zhao Zhen informed her about this, she knew that she was facing another, more difficult struggle.
