The cuckoo quickly turned over, and as soon as his right hand pressed the bracelet on his left wrist, he heard a muffled snort, and the black shadow dropped what he was holding, covered his eyes with one hand, and turned to run towards the window.

After only a few steps, a white light flew down from the beam, and he fell.

After lighting the lamp, Du Juan and Ren Sanhe looked at the dragon guards with black blood flowing from the corners of their mouths on the ground, and their faces were ugly - this is a dead soldier who will commit suicide once he loses.

Ren Sanhe carried the body out, and Mama Hua and Liufeng and others arrived.

As for the String Moon, she slept outside the cuckoo and was already dizzy.

Mama Hua looked at the corpse that Ren Sanhe was holding and trembled.

Ren Sanhe stared at her coldly, turned around and stepped into the night.

Seeing her open her mouth to ask herself, the cuckoo waved her hand and said, "Go to sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." After saying that, he went back to bed and lay down, facing inward, as if he didn't want to speak.

Mama Hua said coldly to the wind and falling flowers: "You two bring the bedding and sleep on this ground; I slept in the outer room with Remnant Xue. ”

The two of them hurriedly agreed and hurriedly went to prepare.

After a rush of confusion, everyone fell asleep again.

In the quiet night, Liufeng and the others were all wide-eyed, and their hearts were also depressed, where could they still sleep; And there was a thin snort on the bed, and their county lord slept calmly!

In the early morning, Ren Sanhe and Zhanqing Zhanhong came to the island again, when Du Juan had just finished bathing after morning exercise, and Liufeng was combing her hair. When I saw them coming from the window, I hurried the wind to hurry up. Dressed up for a while, he walked to the hall, beckoned them to sit down, and asked, "How is it, have you caught your accomplices?" ”

Ren Sanhe shook his head and said, "Not sure." Left but those people. ”

As he spoke, he handed a list to the cuckoo.

At a glance, Zhang Gui's name Huo Ran ranked first.

She was surprised: "Zhang Gui? How is this possible? ”

Ren Sanhe said: "It's just a suspicion." Not sure. After all, only he, Zhao Shucheng and Hu Jian knew that the county lord had not returned to the mountain, and they knew better which house the county lord lived. Oh. These palace ladies also knew, but they had been on the island since last night. I didn't go to the other side, so it was inconvenient to send a message. ”

The cuckoo frowned and said, "I always feel that he doesn't look like him." ”

Zhan Qing said: "The subordinates have passed the name of the dead dragon guard to the prince, and the prince will find out who he is involved with when he checks it." ”

The cuckoo snorted and said, "If it were so easy to figure out, I wouldn't be killed again and again." I can't figure it out, I think how can it be so difficult to have a peaceful birthday in a few days? Or should I never have come to this world at all! ”

Ren Sanhe and the others were speechless.

After being silent for a while, Mama Hua said: "The slave maid asked the little prince to give the emperor and queen a fold, and send additional people to protect the county lord." ”

The cuckoo looked at her amusedly. said: "Mama Hua, you are so confused! Didn't you see that it was the Dragon Guards who wanted to harm me? Send more men, and you won't have to! I want to live a few more days! ”

Mama Hua was speechless.

After breakfast, the cuckoo went to the other side with Sanhe to support the raft.

Mama Hua and Liufeng and the others sat on another raft in the back.

On the raft, Zhanhong said to the cuckoo: "County Lord, this matter is definitely not instructed by the little prince. Whether from the county lord's father or mother's family, the Xuanwu Palace's family is related to the county lord, and it is impossible to harm the county lord. ”

The cuckoo sits on the edge of the raft and plucks the water with his hands. said casually: "Even you brothers and I doubt it, you still help others speak?" Hmph, now in this world, my own uncle still wants to harm me. Not to mention how many generations of relatives have been divided. ”

Zhan Hong's face suddenly collapsed, and he said, "The county lord ......"

Zhan Qing stopped him, so that his eyes did not allow him to defend.

The cuckoo was depressed.

It's true. Very depressed!

Originally, it was difficult to be in a bad mood when I was back in this place. When I open my eyes in the morning, I see a qiē that is pleasing to the eye. Make people forget their worries; At night, I fell asleep sweetly with infinite anticipation for tomorrow; The quality of sleep is so good that it is rare to even have a dream. It was as if I had just laid down and woken up, as if I hadn't slept.

However, there are always people who don't tell her to live a good life!

She strongly suspects that her crossing has been damned!

When the Lin family moved in a few days ago, Huang Que'er brought a letter to her, which was written by Huang Yuan, who had returned to his hometown to guard the system. He told Cuckoo to be careful of the dragon guards, saying that Daddy Huang did not commit suicide, but was forced to die. When she was rewarded that day, the dragon guards took advantage of the chaos to tell Daddy Huang, saying that they had given him death by the emperor's decree, but because they didn't want the lord of Jing'an to ruin the fun, they asked Daddy Huang to break it off by himself. Father Huang went back to hang himself sadly, and before he died, he also told Mrs. Huang about the reason, telling Mrs. Huang to die together, and if she died, she could save the Huang family from disaster. After Huang Damiang was rescued, she didn't dare to tell Sù Cuckoo the truth, and waited for Huang Yuan to come back before she told him. Huang Yuan concluded that someone wanted to harm Du Juan, because it was rumored in the village that Du Juan took revenge after gaining power and forced the adopted Huang family's grandparents to death.

The cuckoo was half angry when he received the letter.

In the past few days, she and Ren Sanhe have repeatedly planned this matter, deliberately stayed on the island last night, and deliberately sent Zhang Gui and others away, making all preparations, but only arrested a dead person.

The raft floated briskly to the shore of the lake, and the cuckoo looked over the shore.

Zhang Gui and Zhao Shucheng stood on the plank road of the dock, waiting for them.

The raft landed, the cuckoo got up and jumped up, and Zhang Gui hurriedly helped him.

When she stood still, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the county lord." ”

Zhao Shucheng also hurriedly knelt down.

The cuckoo looked at them for a while before he asked softly, "Zhang Gui, can I trust you?" ”

Zhang Gui said in a deep voice: "The county lord believes in himself. ”

At this time, Zhan Qing jumped ashore with an old yellow wooden box, and Du Juan pointed to the wooden box and said to Zhang Gui: "This is what I gave to Lin Chun, and I will hand it over to you." Don't put poison in it. ”

Zhang Gui was shocked and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

The cuckoo said to Zhan Qing: "Give it to him!" ”

Zhan Qing put the box in front of Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui didn't get up and continued: "The county lord's personal guards will be handed over to the two elder brothers Zhan for the time being, and the subordinates will strictly inquire and pay attention to the remaining dragon guards. Also, in the future, if the county lord has nothing to do, please come down the mountain less. ”

After hearing this, the cuckoo groaned, and only said in a half-loud voice: "Got it." ”

Seeing that Mama Hua and the others also came up, they turned around and left.

Ren Sanhe has been watching Zhang Gui from the sidelines. Jang Gyu found out and looked back at him calmly.

Ren Sanhe left. Zhan Qing and Zhan Hong nodded at Zhang Gui and followed.

Jang Gyu looked at their backs. His expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

On the same day, he wrote several letters, together with the box given to him by the cuckoo, and sent someone to send them back to the capital. After doing this, he kept an eye on the dragon guards, carefully observed everyone, and strengthened the defense of the valley.

The cuckoo did not hide back in the mountains, the county lord's mansion project was huge, and it could not be completed in the short term, so she took people to check the situation of clearing the wasteland. Or talk and laugh with Erni Guixiang and others, as if nothing happened, but she will definitely go up the mountain at night.

The days that followed were peaceful, as if what had happened before had been nothing more than an accident.

The cuckoo gradually became more at ease, thinking that it was nothing more than her uncles who wanted to make some trouble for the eighth uncle and bully her. In fact, since Emperor Zhengyuan rewarded her, her role in Lichu is no longer great, so they may not be willing to spend a lot of effort on her.

However, news came from the capital one after another, which made her so nervous that she couldn't even eat.

The first is the batch of tea sold to the children of the family. It was confiscated by Emperor Zhengyuan, saying that the phoenix tail tea would be listed as tribute tea from now on and would be exclusively for the imperial palace. It is said to be tribute tea, but the price is not set.

The cuckoo was dumbfounded: does she want a refund?

That's not going to happen!

She thought about it for a day. Uncle Yu was ordered to go to Shanyang County, and in the name of the county lord of Jing'an, he bought a large piece of land from the mountains near the Yangu Valley, and spent all the more than 20,000 taels of silver. And then. Under the guidance of Ren Sanhe, she drew up an excerpt and told the emperor's grandfather honestly: she planted tea for the first time to make money. She won't spit out the money when she gets it, so she bought the land. Gongcha starts next year......

The matter was resolved, and Jang Gyu's entourage also returned from the capital.

Du Juan called him to go to Guanyan Pavilion to ask Lin Chun about his current situation, and Zhang Gui was also beside him.

Guanyan Pavilion is built on a gentle slope of Fengwei Mountain, which is more than 100 zhang high from the bottom of Huiyan Valley, and can overlook the panoramic view of the valley. The pavilion has three bays, two storeys high, backed by the towering mountain wall, supported by thick beams and columns, the eaves and arches, the Rui beast presses the top, and the momentum is very majestic. The outer walls of the pavilion are all made of rough cut stones from nearby mountains, the gaps in the stones are filled with glutinous rice slurry with lime and clay, and the partition walls and floor slabs in the pavilion are all made of the finest cedar wood.

At this time, Du Juan sat on a chaise longue under the window on the second floor of the Guanyan Pavilion and asked the sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man in Tsing Yi who was kneeling in front of him, "Get up and speak." Did you personally hand over the things to Lin Xiucai? ”

Xiao Liu is the most inconspicuous member of Zhang Gui's eight personal entourage.

Because of his inconspicuousness, this time he found another way to send the letter and things to the capital safely for the prince, and the other passers-by were all confused.

He thanked the county lord, got up and replied: "Yes, the villain in the box personally sent it to Prince Yong's mansion and handed it over to Lin Xiucai in front of Prince Yong." ”

The cuckoo listened and asked, "Prince Yong is also there?" What did he say? ”

Xiao Liu's eyes flickered a little, and said, "Prince Yong said...... said that the small rumors were not clear, the grilled fish made by the county lord must have been given to the prince, and Lin Xiucai had not eaten the fish grilled by the county lord...... So that's it...... I loaded one plate for Lin Xiucai, and the rest was ......"

He can't go on, it's hard to say that the prince is greedy for those fish fillets.

He also looked at the cuckoo suspiciously, don't you make a mistake, right? How can you say that the county lord should send dried fish to Prince Yong, how can he not mention it at all, and only give it to Lin Xiucai?

The cuckoo was speechless when he heard it: This eighth uncle!

Didn't she give him tea?

Dried fish is probably not something that a noble person like him likes to do!

Zhang Gui hurriedly said: "The prince thinks that the dried fish made by the county lord is delicious, so it is rare." It should have been eaten separately. ”

Du Juan didn't bother to dwell on this anymore, and continued to ask Xiao Liu: "Lin Xiucai didn't come to see you when you left, so he asked the prince to hand over this letter?" ”

Lin Chun didn't write much in the letter, only greeted her, which was not like him acting.

Seeing that she didn't ask, Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I didn't come." Lin Xiucai thought that he was too busy to get out, and he was going to get married, so he asked the prince to hand over the little one to bring back two letters. One for the Lin family, one for the county lord's ......"

The cuckoo could no longer hear what he was saying, and his ears were full of roars:

Wedding!!!

Did she hear it right?
