Hearing a familiar voice at first glance, Chen Zixiu was stunned, surprised and delighted. When he was about to lift the curtain, Wen Xiu suddenly approached him and asked in a low voice: "Childe, who is this person, so rude." ”

Chen Zixiu was reminded by him, and was suddenly more surprised than happy, and his face changed. Wen Xiu glanced at him, lifted the curtain generously, and looked back outside the carriage, showing coquettishness on her delicately whitewashed little face. Wang Ying had already gotten out of the car, and was standing on the side of the car looking at the back uneasily, with a careful face. Tang Shi sat in the driver's seat, silly and inexplicable.

The soldier who received the benefits hurriedly went back to salute the comer, and explained stubbornly: "Vice General Xiao, this is the son of the Chen family of the Marquis of Jing'an, the capital, and he wants to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors." ”

"Oh? General Ben, the son of the Marquis Chen family of Jing'an, also knows a few people, but I don't know which room is the son of the car? Xiao Qiang's face was cold, her eyes turned, and two sharp gazes swept over the faces of the coachman, the little maid and the girl, staring at the three of them. The girl flattened her mouth, and quickly shrank back with a sad face.

This is the reaction of a normal person. The Dark Guards have practiced, but nothing has gone wrong. If you rely on the fact that you are the emperor and have some ability to do it with your predecessors, you will be a fool to confront that deputy general with a domineering look and a deep gaze. Chen Ping, Chen An, Zhou Quan and others, who were riding horses next to the car as escorts, also dismounted and glared at each other impatiently. In addition to a few secret guards who disguised themselves as villagers and scattered out of the city, Chen Zixiu still followed many people around him. Anyway, he is also the son of everyone, and it is not like to be equipped with complete manpower.

As for Wen Xiu - he was so frightened that he retracted.

This Xiao Qiang once hunted him down, and the two met once. Even if he had already disguised himself at that time, in front of such an experienced and methodical general, Wen Xiu still did not dare to be presumptuous.

Xiao Qiang didn't see anything wrong, but she still felt strange in her heart. He frowned slightly, and slowly stepped forward, about to open his mouth to ask again, but when the curtain was lifted, he was shocked by a familiar face that should not have appeared here.

How did "you ......" end up here? Thinking that the other party's current identity really couldn't be declared in front of the world, Xiao Qiang hurriedly swallowed the rest of the words back into her stomach.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw that his face was wrong, and nervously stepped forward to ask: "General, but what's wrong?" The gaze that looked at them was a little unkind. If you dare to deceive him and let him eat and hang, the master will make you look good!

"It is indeed the son of the Chen family, and he has had several relationships with Ben Jiang." Xiao Qiang knew that there were many things that could not be said here, so she waved her hand and let her go.

The defenders breathed a sigh of relief. It's okay. Looking at Vice General Xiao's attitude, probably the other party is really a side branch of the Marquis of Jing'an! Fu watched the group leave with envy on his face.

Xiao Qiang watched the carriage go away, her eyes contemplative.

The prefect said that Chenxi County had lost important documents, and asked the military to cooperate with the strict search, but I don't know what it has to do with Zixiu...... The timing of his appearance here is too coincidental, and what is even worse is: did he abscond from the palace without permission or did he really get the permission of that one to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors? Why hasn't there been any news from Kyori?

Xiao Qiang couldn't think of a clue, so he put it down for the time being, anyway, he couldn't find the suspect and the lost property today and tomorrow, and the boss wouldn't let him spend it here blindly, and he could find the other party to ask him when he returned to Fucheng, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Until she left the city gate, Wen Xiu's nerves were still tense, and she didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Chen Zixiu and Wang Ying, who were traveling together, also saw it and quipped: "What's the matter, then Vice General Xiao has a holiday with you?" ”

Wen Xiu pursed her lips and nodded solemnly.

"Didn't you steal someone's baby?" Wang Ying only knew that this was a capable little thief, but he didn't know that the other party was a six-fingered thief who shocked the rivers and lakes, and he didn't even know whether the other party was a man or a woman.

Wen Xiu pursed her lips disdainfully, "That poor ghost, what is there to steal." ”

Chen Zixiu thought more deeply and asked, "Are you worried that he will recognize you?" ”

Wen Xiu did not shy away from admitting it. "I've met with him."

Chen Zixiu sighed secretly. He knows what Xiao Qiang is capable of. climbed to the position of deputy general at a young age, in addition to having a relationship at home to help dredge the activities, the conditions in the place where he stayed were better and less difficult, and more importantly, he relied on his own ability to climb up. Catch mountain bandits and thieves, punish the evil and eliminate evil, without mercy. Even the Lin family was raided by him. Even if Master Lin was his cousin, and his grandmother chased after him and beat and scolded him, hating him for having no conscience and denying his six relatives, he didn't leave any affection, and he didn't even let go of a chicken and dog.

Xiao Qiang's grandmother's surname is Lin, and Lin Aike's grandfather is a sister and brother, and Xiao Lin's two families also have close contacts. When the Lin family's affairs came out, the Xiao family also had help activities, but they were helpless and unable to overturn the case, knowing that they were taking the blame for the above, but Master Lin was indeed greedy. This is something that Chen Zixiu has been slowly pondering recently. He is not as simple as Lin Aike, and he was relieved when he heard the emperor's words. He really recognized and carefully recalled the slightest detail he saw in the Lin family, as well as his uncle's daily behavior, and the attitudes and evaluations of the people around him, and came to the conclusion that his uncle was indeed not so innocent.

What made him most uncomfortable was that maybe his good father, the Marquis of Jing'an, did something behind his back.

Those lawsuits, bribes received, bribery of witnesses to frame the bitter master, seizure of good land shops and workshop recipes, etc......

Who can be truly innocent? I'm afraid that the innocent people will be ruined by them?

This is also one of the reasons why he took the initiative to take care of things for the emperor. originally thought that he would be able to make meritorious service on this trip so that the emperor could open up to the Chen family, but he didn't expect that the deeper he went, the more he fell into the mud, and he got farther and farther from the shore. Until it is out of reach.

If the emperor even counted this point before letting himself come, what would be waiting for the Chen family?

I can't say it, even if I want to cover up and conceal it, it is also in the emperor's calculations?

Chen Zixiu was upset and simply closed his eyes to recuperate.

Wen Xiu was also worried, took out a small mirror and repaired her makeup, how to look at it and how dissatisfied, angrily dropped the mirror, shrunk aside to sleep.

The big guy hurried and hurried, and finally came to the post house on the outskirts of Ji'an Mansion before the sun went down.

This place is only twenty miles from the capital city, with open farmland in front of it, a village nearby, and the stretching Changfu Mountain in the north, which is dark and swarthy in the night, like a dormant monster.

After a simple dinner, there was nothing to do, and everyone went to bed early after washing.

It's rare that there is no task tonight, I thought I should be able to sleep peacefully, but I didn't want it to be the middle of the night, Chen Zixiu fell asleep in a daze, and was suddenly woken up!

"Childe, go away! There are mountain bandits coming! ”
