Chu Ziyao hurriedly saluted Emperor Guangzhao and said: "The retainer doesn't know that his father is coming, and he is disappointed, so he hopes that his father will surrender!" ”

Chu Zican also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

How could my father come at this time by such coincidence? Both of them couldn't help but think to themselves.

But Emperor Guangzhao was completely unaware of their thoughts, and said with a smile: "I didn't bother you, did I? I see that the weather is very good today, and I want to call you to go to the Yanque Tower to see the scenery and chat. ”

They breathed a sigh of relief and replied in unison, "Good! ”

So, the father and son marched to the Swallow Bird Tower surrounded by a group of guards and palace maids.

Chu Zican and Chu Ziyao knew that his father must be in a good mood today, because every time he was in a good mood, he would go to the Yanque Tower.

But Emperor Guangzhao's happy mood made them uneasy for no reason.

From the top of the tower, you can see the rolling mountains in the distance and the bustling street markets nearby. From this point of view, but everywhere is full of vitality.

"Can'er, Yao'er, what do you think of the scenery here?" Emperor Guangzhao asked with a smile.

"The country is smiling, the people are healthy, and looking at it makes people feel stable and beautiful." Chu Zican replied.

Emperor Guangzhao's joy suddenly filled his eyebrows, and he said again and again: "Yes, I love to see such a scene." ”

"Father, rest assured, under your rule, the Xi Kingdom has always been so good." Chu Ziyao took over and said.

Emperor Guangzhao laughed.

After laughing, Emperor Guangzhao said, "It would be nice if Hou'er was here, I haven't been together with your three brothers for a long time." ”

The implication is that Chu Zihou has been making frequent meritorious contributions and displaying his talents. You two have to work harder.

Both of them are smart people, how could they not understand what Emperor Guangzhao meant?

So, the two immediately expressed their determination to Emperor Guangzhao. Emperor Guangzhao listened quietly, and suddenly felt that their determination was a little hollow, so he silently drank tea.

However, he had a bold idea in his heart.

………………

Fifteen days later, Xi Zhen and Peng Feng arrived in Tiaozhou.

Xi Zhen met the two people sent by Liu Xianchen in a small restaurant. They were sitting at her table, the lotus brooch pinned to the neckline.

Liu Xianchen had already informed them of her appearance through guò drawing, so they recognized her at a glance. The three of them were silent, and Peng Feng on the side was naturally unaware.

After the meal comes up. Xi Zhen and Peng Feng concentrated on dining. Taking advantage of Peng Feng's head to eat, Xi Zhen quickly took out a note with words written on it from his pocket, crumpled it into a ball with his hands, and put it on the ground. Then gently kick it to the table with your foot.

One of them immediately picked it up, quickly slipped it into his pocket, and the two of them checked out and left.

When they reached no one, they unfurled the ball of paper. But see that it reads: "The army sent from the capital to the northern frontier is about to arrive in the northern frontier." Please immediately convey my intentions to Shen Xicong of the Northern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, and let them dig as many underground tunnels as possible from Fengyuan City to the border of Northern Xinjiang. ”

They were immediately instructed to do so.

Two years ago, the underground tunnel connecting with other cities was dug on the side of Fengyuan City, but because the northern Xinjiang side was a little remote, it was not dug through.

After another fifteen days, Shen Xizhen and Peng Feng went to Heima Prefecture and met another counterpart. The letter was also given to them in a very secret way.

They opened it and said, "Immediately send a letter to Shen Xicong of the Northern Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate." Let them customize three large copper pipes with a length of six zhang and a width of three zhang. Use the night time to sink them under the big river, so that one end is connected with the underground tunnel in the northern Xinjiang, and the other end goes directly to the side of the Mao country. On another page, she illustrated the specific method of connection and the location of the construction.

Fifteen days later, Shen Xizhen and Peng Feng arrived in the Tiaolu Ethnic District, where they met the last person to meet the last person dressed as an ethnic minority, and Xizhen handed them the letter when he bought small handicrafts from them.

The letter said: "Immediately set off to Heimazhou, Tiaozhou, and Zhuzhou, meet with the responders of our other groups, and then go together to the cave under the big slope in the middle reaches of the Dashun Grand Canyon, and then knock on the iron door in the depths of the cave, and someone will help you open the door, so that you can return to the north safely through the pipeline under the Guò River." After returning to the northern Xinjiang, you can go to the quicksand post station to find Liu Xianchen and return to the capital with him. ”

After reading the letter, they were secretly surprised, and they all felt that Shen Xizhen's method was too good, approaching step by step, and they were still silent. They can imagine the scene of a large number of soldiers secretly sneaking into the country through the pipeline under the river.

After inspecting the Tiaolu ethnic area, Shen Xizhen and Peng Feng rushed to the capital of the Mao State non-stop.

At this time, two full months had passed since the day they came out to investigate.

What Shen Xizhen didn't expect was that Peng Feng, who didn't seem to care too much about anything, keenly saw something in the eyes of both parties when Shen Xizhen came into contact with the two receivers in the Tiaolu Ethnic Zone, he was an extremely smart and agile person, and once he sensed that something was wrong, he would naturally not let go of any details, so when Shen Xizhen put the silver into the hands of the receiver, he saw the crumpled paper.

His heart couldn't help but be shocked, but he immediately understood that the head of the regiment knew these two people.

If it's an acquaintance, why exchange information so secretly? Peng Feng had questions, so on the way back, he always asked Xizhen some questions that seemed to have nothing to do with the matter, intentionally or unintentionally.

At first, Xizhen answered honestly, but she soon sensed the meaning of his questions, and immediately answered them in a more subtle way.

Therefore, Peng Feng did not get any further understanding of the matter.

But he had some doubts about Shen Xizhen in his heart, so this mental activity was gradually revealed from his expression.

Shen Xizhen is a person who is very good at observing people, so she can see it at a glance.

She knew that it was time to resolve the doubts in his mind, otherwise it would affect the progress of the whole matter, and even be exposed.

But how to resolve it?

Peng Feng is such a smart person, he can't fool with some reasons that are easy to discover, but what reason is there that sounds very real but does not reveal the slightest truth?

On the road, Shen Xizhen's mind was spinning rapidly.

I have to explain to him earlier, otherwise it will be more suspicious if he waits too long, Xizhen is constantly thinking. (To be continued......)
