And so it was settled. Zhao Chongyi and Chen Wenhui discussed it again, and felt that it was a bit hasty to start the first time they entered the palace, so it was better to step on the turf for the first time, figure out the terrain, and then discuss the countermeasures when they came back, and the second time they thought about entering the palace again.

These are all discussed with the water red water lotus. In addition to Shuihong Water Lotus, there are also two people selected by Zhao Chongyi, one is named Luo Ding, and the other is Lu Yu. Both of these people followed Zhao Chongyi back from fighting on the battlefield in the northwest. The family is relatively poor, but he is flexible, strong in martial arts, and very shrewd.

Zhao Chongyi said: "When we enter the palace this time, we can't bring many people, I can bring two entourage, and my wife can bring two maids." We chose the four of you, just because of your good skills and water penetration, I hope you will have more contact and cooperate with each other when the time comes, so as to complete this task. ”

The specific things have been explained a long time ago, and these four people all know their tasks and know where their destinations are. At this moment, when he heard Zhao Chongyi say this, he suddenly agreed.

Chen Wenhui was very relieved about Shui Hong and Shui Lian, and looked at Luo Ding and Lu Yu attentively at the moment, very satisfied, and said: "For this mission, I have prepared some things, and Shui Lian knows." You go get four sets. ”

Shuilian went to the inner room, and came out after a while, with four more light mist-like things in her hands. Chen Wenhui said: "This is the mermaid clothes that I entrusted the master of the black family. Don't look at it like a cloud of fog, it is very soft on the body, like a fish skin, it can be separated from water, and it can move freely in the water. You can wear this under your clothes, and when it's time to go into the water, you can take off your outer clothes. It is more convenient to wear this directly into the water. ”

Luo Ding and Lu Yu were very curious about this, took it from Shui Lian's hand, and looked at it carefully.

Chen Wenhui continued: "It just so happens that not far from where we live, there is a small lake, you can go there at night to put on this mermaid clothes and get used to it." Tomorrow follow us to the palace, not immediately, but just remember the terrain and the guards who come and go, so that the next time we enter the palace. Start again. Aqua red. You can draw a map, you have to be very careful, and when the time comes, you need to draw a map of the palace. Water lotus. You bring more small gold and silver jewelry. After arriving at the royal palace. It is used to reward those palace maids and subordinates, so that it is convenient for Shui Hong to act. Luo Ding and Lu Yu were responsible for protecting the safety of the two of them. ”

The four of them were busy answering the promise.

Chen Wenhui looked at it and was ready. Then he said to the water lotus, "I propose a list, you pack up your things, and tomorrow, send them to the palace to the queen as a gift." ”

Shuilian agreed, and prepared pen and ink.

Zhao Chongyi is very interested in this merman clothes, and when Chen Wenhui was preparing the list, he had been studying this merman clothes. When Chen Wenhui's list was ready, he turned around and saw that Zhao Chongyi was still observing the mermaid clothes, and said with a smile: "If you are curious, I will get you one when I go back, I have prepared a lot." It's enough for the two of us. ”

Zhao Chongyi was overjoyed and said, "Do you also know how to swim?" ”

Chen Wenhui was a strong swimmer in her previous life, and she also participated in this sports meeting competition in school. Later, after work, I also swam a lot, because swimming is the best exercise to keep in shape. In this life, it is relatively feudal, and no girl from any family can swim in the water. However, Chen Wenhui herself knows, plus she has been to Nanyang for so many years, which is her territory, so she often goes swimming. Speaking of which, maybe Zhao Chongyi is not as good as her swimmer.

Chen Wenhui said happily: "I have a lot of things, you don't even know it." You forgot it, I'm the head of Nanyang, if I don't know water, how can I be this head manager? When the day is free, let's go swimming, maybe you're not as watery as mine. Well, if we are still in the capital in summer, we can swim in our own county lord's mansion, don't we have two lakes, one large and one small? The water was still very clear. ”

Zhao Chongyi said this, and his heart was itching.

Chen Wenhui said to the four people: "Okay, you all go and prepare." There's no need to wait here. ”

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi couldn't sleep, hugging each other to enjoy the night, chatting about swimming.

The next day, early in the morning, the two of them got up, freshened up, Chen Wenhui deliberately combed a bun, brought delicate jewelry, and wore a water-green sleeved robe full of gold, looking dignified and beautiful. Zhao Chongyi was also wearing a royal blue Confucian shirt and looked personable.

The two of them packed up and went to the palace with Luo Ding, Lu Yu, Shui Hong, Shui Lian and the gifts for the queen.

When they arrived at the palace, the two of them pretended to be curious, and kept asking this and that to the palace maid who led them, looking curious about the palace, but in fact, to look at the terrain. Because Shui Lian gave the palace maid who led the way a big red envelope in advance, which contained a silver ticket of twenty taels of silver. There was also a pair of red gold bracelets, so the palace maid was very enthusiastic, and in order to cooperate with the curious Chen Wenhui and his wife, she deliberately spared a long way and visited the palace.

This made Chen Wenhui very satisfied, and glanced back at Shui Hong, who nodded slightly. Chen Wenhui knew, Shui Hong had already written down the terrain. In a good mood, some of them plucked a delicate hosta from their heads and said: "This sister really opened our eyes, this palace is so beautiful, but this building is not like the buildings of the Teng people in the city, but it is similar to the buildings of the Qin people." ”

That palace maid is not an ordinary palace maid, she is a close palace maid who serves the queen, and she is very powerful in the palace, looking at the exquisite white hosta sent by Chen Wenhui, for a while, she was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "How does Madam know that this palace was changed from a temple in the previous generation." Isn't it the architecture of the Qin people? Because this building is particularly magnificent and magnificent, it is one of the best in our southern Xinjiang, so the kings of the Baiyi people in the past generations did not move the building here, and regarded this place as a royal palace to inherit the power. It's just a matter of repairing it every year. The palaces you see today are all left over from hundreds of years ago. It's just an annual repair and whitewash. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wenhui felt a little more stable in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Chongyi, and Zhao Chongyi's eyes also had a touch of joy.

They stopped and walked like this, because the palace was not big, after all, it was just a temple back then, so they quickly finished shopping. It's the lake wave, and there is a lot of water. This temple was originally built on the basis of this lake. The lake is a natural lake. There is abundant rain here in southern Xinjiang, and there are many large and small lakes in the whole city.

Chen Wenhui and others deliberately stayed by the lake for a while. In the end, he followed the palace maid to the main hall and met the queen.

After the two of them worshiped the queen, they gave gifts, and when they looked up, they saw that the queen was a gorgeous beauty, mature and beautiful, and she looked like she was in her thirties, but she was much better looking than Ram. Moreover, the most memorable thing is that the queen's mighty phoenix eyes are very divine.

Sitting next to the queen is the queen's husband, the contemporary patriarch of the Bai clan, a middle-aged and elegant man, the most attractive thing is his tall nose, deep eye sockets, at a glance is the blood of the Yi people, it turns out that Ram does not look like a mother, but like a father.

It was Ram who sat next. Ram is wearing the right princess's rattan costume today, and she looks beautiful too.

Ram was looking at Zhao Chongyi and smiling. Chen Wenhui couldn't help pouting in her heart. What a shameless princess who specializes in liking other people's men.

The queen gave them two seats. The queen and the queen's husband, the patriarch of the Bai clan, expressed their sincere gratitude to Zhao Chongyi and his wife. And, I called a person in, it was a middle-aged woman, and I knew it was a woman from the vine tribe when I looked at the clothes.

The queen said, "This is Jim, the chief steward of our vine firm. I've told her to take care of your caravan's business. You can find her for the Southern Xinjiang specialties you need to buy, and the Dachu goods you need to sell. ”

Chen Wenhui and his wife hurriedly bowed down to thank him and greeted Jim Che.

An old man came in the side hall on the side, dressed in the service of the Bai tribe, and the patriarch of the Bai tribe said: "This is the chief steward of my Bai nationality trading house. You can also do business with our Bai people. I have already told the more and more stewards, in the future, your Zhao family firm will be a friend of our Bai clan, and we will give you VIP treatment. ”

This made Zhao Chongyi very happy, and after thanking him, he also greeted Yue Duo.

Subsequently, the queen invited Chen Wenhui and his wife to the side hall, where there was a prepared banquet.

At the banquet, everyone was staggered, the Baiyi people did not have so many rules, and this meal was not as restrained as in the Great Chu Palace, but very casual. Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi also tried a lot of Baiyi people's characteristic food, and they were very happy.

During the banquet, Ram's eyes kept drifting towards Zhao Chongyi. Neither the queen nor Chen Wenhui were very happy to see this. Chen Wenhui was jealous and hated in her heart. The queen did not like her daughter, and the future heir of the Teng clan liked a merchant of Da Chu.

Halfway through the banquet in this delicate atmosphere, the patriarch of the Bai clan said, "I heard that Steward Zhao is very skilled. I have a request here, I hope that Steward Zhao can represent the first warrior of our Teng clan and the Bai clan and the Lan clan to fight against each other, but it looks good, no matter whether it wins or loses, I will give a gift, and ask the queen to issue a pass to the Zhao family firm, so that the Zhao family's firm can do business anywhere in my southern Xinjiang in the future, okay? ”

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi glanced at each other, Zhao Chongyi didn't want to participate in the internal fighting of the Baiyi people, although he also hated the people of the Lan clan, but he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, and said, "Thank you for the patriarch's love." Although I know martial arts, I'm not proficient in it, so don't be embarrassed. ”

Ram was in a hurry, and was about to say something, when he was glared back by a sharp look from the queen.

Ram had no choice but to sit down in his chair. (To be continued......)
