Xia Chen said lightly: "Just came back, is my uncle's body better?" ”

Xia Yarong nodded: "There has been improvement." After that, he glanced around: "What about Wei Gongzi?" ”

"You're looking for him?" Xia Chen said in his heart, this woman is really worried about the pot! While offering courtesy to Yue Feiyun, he was still thinking about Wei Han. Thinking of the emotions between her Wei Han and her feelings, there seemed to be a slight change in her suddenly, and she was a little distracted for a while.

Since the kiss on the boat, although they have both pretended that nothing has happened for the past few days, and both want to think that it was an impulsive joke, she can feel and must admit that there is a little sweeter intimacy between the two than friendship, a little like the feeling when boyfriend and girlfriend love each other but have not yet explained.

suddenly remembered the age of herself and Wei Han, if you really want to talk about love, is it too early, it is the first time to talk about it for a few years, and she has always had little confidence in the feelings of young people, so she should always be confused and confused.

Xia Yarong put the snack on the table: "I just asked casually." ”

Yue Feiyun said: "I want to talk to Chen'er about something, if you don't go back in advance." ”

Xia Yarong smiled slightly: "The weather is hot, I specially made mung bean cake, I know that the young general doesn't like to eat too sweet, so I only added a little rock sugar." After that, he gave a salute: "You chat, I'll go back to take care of my father." ”

After Xia Yarong left, Xia Chen walked to the table and picked up a piece of mung bean cake, and he could see how much Xia Yarong had put in the trouble of making the mung bean cake into a maple leaf shape. "Brother Yue, what do you think of my cousin?"

Yue Feiyun said: "Seriously, it's annoying. Seeing Xia Chen open his mouth to bite a snack, he hurriedly stopped: "You are still taking tonics, don't eat cold food, if you want to eat a snack, let Yueniang make you some jujube mud cake, walnut cake or something." ”

Xia Chen put down the mung bean cake and teased: "The falling flowers are ruthless!" Why do I think my cousin is interesting to you? ”

Yue Feiyun shook his head again and again: "Don't make fun of me again, I think the person your cousin admires is Wei Han, and she sent me snacks just to stay here for a while." ”

Xia Chen thought for a moment: "If my cousin hears this, she will definitely be very sad." After that, he put away his joking expression: "It's me who caused trouble to Brother Yue." ”

Yue Feiyun smiled faintly: "I have never regarded you as a trouble, and I will never say such things in the future." ”

Suddenly, I heard a coquettish smile coming from outside the door: "I don't know, I thought it was a little lover talking about love." ”

Yue Feiyun smiled bitterly: "You are still here after all." ”

The door was pushed open, and Hongzheng walked in generously: "I have always said one thing, should Major General Yue think that I was just a compliment that day, right?" ”

Yue Feiyun said: "Of course not, I've been waiting for you, please take a seat." ”

Red Zheng grinned: "Has the young general always been able to speak like this?" After that, her eyes glanced at Xia Chen: "I didn't expect to meet the little boy here, how can I look bad!" ”

Xia Chen said: "I have been feeling a little cold these days, but the red guard has always been good-looking. As soon as she thought of this woman's cruel and treacherous moves, she naturally became a little wary of it.

Hongzheng covered his lips and smiled: "The little boy has a white face and light lips, not only is he infected with the wind and cold, but his blood is also slightly insufficient, so he should take more supplements and rest well." ”

Xia Chen said: "I didn't expect that the red guard still knows medical skills. ”

Hongzheng said: "I learned some from my mother since I was a child. ”

Yue Feiyun said: "The Red Guard is not from the Central Plains, right?" ”

Hongzheng said: "The country is dead, the people are dead, and the red zither is home all over the world." ”

Yue Feiyun was stunned: "Could it be that the Red Guard is from the Great Xia Kingdom?" ”

Hongzheng is still smiling like a flower: "How can there be any Great Xia Kingdom now, there are no surplus remnants of the old tribe and those who are greedy for life and nobles, and claim to be vassals to Xuanguo!" ”

Xia Chen said: "The red guards seem to look down on them? ”

Hongzheng spread his hands: "There are not many people in this world who are not afraid of death, not to mention that I am also sending people to live under the fence, how can I be qualified to look down on others." ”

Yue Feiyun said: "The red guard doesn't dwell on the past, he is really an open-minded person. ”

Hongzheng's expression seemed to have heard something very funny, and his eyes were even more crooked: "In the past? When I can remember, the Great Xia Kingdom no longer exists, so what do I have to worry about. ”

Xia Chen said: "I can't say that, I believe that many people have the heart to restore the country, and will educate their children not to forget the shame of the past." "After the fall of any dynasty, there are many people who are in trouble to restore the country, although most of them are unwilling to lose their former status, but it is not excluded that people with ideals and pursuits. Of course, this does not include the situation of foreign invasions, because no nation is willing to be enslaved, so she believes that the hatred of the people of the Great Xia Kingdom towards the people of the Xuan Kingdom is by no means unique.

Hongzheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "The little boy is young, but he is very insightful." ”

Yue Feiyun said with a smile: "If the red guards get along for a long time, they won't treat Chen'er as a child. ”

Hongzheng said: "I have already been impressed by Xia Gongzi. ”

Xia Chen said: "Don't dare to be." By the way, Red Guard, are you doing things for the Cyclamen? ”

"No, I'm just working with them a lot, but if an important guest comes to the Cyclamen Casino, the people at the casino will ask me to keep them safe." ”

Xia Chen thought for a moment: "That is to say, it is similar to a bodyguard." ”

Hongzheng was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Xia Gongzi described it very appropriately, the dart game is generally to protect people's property, and I am a protector." ”

Xia Chen didn't expect her to understand it like this, but she didn't explain much. "Red Guard, then you must have met Luo, the owner of the gambling house?"

The Red Guard shook his head: "I only know that he is young, but I have never seen him in real form. ”

Yue Feiyun said: "Since you haven't seen him, how do you know that he is very young?" ”

Hongzheng said: "Look at the posture, by feeling." ”

Xia Chen also had the same question as Yue Feiyun just now, but she couldn't find any fault with Hongzheng's answer, and sometimes people rely on a feeling between people.

Yue Feiyun nodded and said, "I believe your feelings will not be wrong." ”

"And ......," Hongzheng deliberately paused for a moment and continued: "He has a noble demeanor in his gestures, and there is no trace of the rivers and lakes, and the smell on his body is also very special. ”

Xia Chen was shocked: "How special?" "Is it the smell of medicine? Could it be a flower building?

Red Kite shrugged: "I say especially because the smell on his body is always changing, sometimes it is musk, sometimes it is jasmine, sometimes it is fruity, in short, it is different every time." ”

Xia Chen rubbed his forehead: "If this person is not extremely cautious, he is deliberately using spices to cover up his own taste. "If it weren't for someone like Hua Manlou who had been soaked in medicinal incense, how could he care so much about this detail. And if it weren't for the owner's intention, how could those assassins come to the painting boat silently, and it took a lot of trouble to get on the ship with Wei Han and Yue Feiyun.

Hongzheng said: "Why is Xia Chen Gong so curious about that owner? ”

Xia Chen smiled and asked, "Who in Anyang City is not curious?" Today, I rarely met a person with whom I had dealing, so I naturally wanted to break the casserole and 'ask' to the end. ”

Hongzheng said: "Actually, I'm also very curious, every time I see him, I always have the urge to take off his mask to see what is going on." ”

Her words amused several people, and Xia Chen said, "The Red Guard's mission this time must be to protect the Sea King Luo?" When did the owner look for you? ”

Hongzheng said: "At noon that day, he invited me to a painting boat and said it. ”

"I see, you guys talk first, I'm a little tired." Xia Chen got up and said. She thought to herself that she couldn't ask the reason, not to mention that since this red kite was in the bodyguard business, she would know the criteria for keeping her identity secret for her employer, so it was not certain whether what she said was true or false, and it was unknown whether she deliberately led herself and Yue Feiyun astray.

Wei Han didn't come over at lunch, Xia Chen thought to himself that King Hai Lang was leaving, and the emperor was going to hold a banquet again, Wei Han must have a lot of things to do.

Xia Chen asked Yue Feiyun: "Brother Yue, do you have time in the afternoon?" ”

"Yes, what's the matter with you?"

"I want to ask Brother Yue to accompany me out for a walk, I met something in an antique shop before, but I didn't bring enough money that day." She wanted to go and see the shopkeeper, but with her current physical condition, she couldn't ride a horse, and if there was any situation on the shopkeeper's side, it would be easier to have Yue Feiyun there.

Yue Feiyun smiled slightly: "You still have this hobby, okay, I'll accompany you." ”

On the way, Xia Chen briefly told Yue Feiyun about his relationship with Zhantian, of course, she didn't mention the part of Hua Manlou, only said that she knew it when she bought antiques.

Yue Feiyun said: "No wonder he came back to you that day and wanted to help us leave." ”

Xia Chen sighed: "I didn't expect him to save me regardless of his own safety. ”

Yue Feiyun was puzzled: "In this way, this family has a solid background and is also quite humane, why did he fall into the grass first and rob the wealth later?" ”

Xia Chen knew that there must be a special reason for this, maybe the shopkeeper could know something.

The shopkeeper was very happy to see her: "Little boy, thank you so much for what happened last time, my son rarely took care of the store very well." Seeing Yue Feiyun who came in, he smiled and said, "This son is a talent, is he a friend of the little boy?" ”

Xia Chen couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this exhibition shopkeeper didn't know about Zhantian's arrest! She turned her head to Yue Feiyun and glanced at her before saying, "He also likes antique jade, so I took him to see it." ”

The shopkeeper said: "I went out last time and brought some good goods back, and the little boy wants to take a look." ”

Xia Chen smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

Purple gold crown, white jade belt, glass cup...... The jade horse came to life, and Xia Chen asked in surprise: "Show shopkeeper, these things?" "Did he steal the palace?

The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously: "Don't ask more, this batch of goods is cheap, if you like it, just ask." ”

Xia Chen was worried about Zhan Tian, so he probably looked at the white jade belt and asked, "Zhan Shopkeeper, how much silver is this?" As far as she knows, jade belts cannot be worn by non-imperial relatives and high-ranking officials, so they are extremely rare. In particular, this jade belt is connected by a live ring, the first jade belt block has a dragon's head hook, the first and last jade belt blocks are carved with peony patterns, and the rest of the jade belt pieces are also carved with lifelike unicorns, Pixiu and other divine beast patterns. Each jade belt block is carved with phoenix-shaped ring holes on both sides. The texture is high-grade Hetian white jade, and the first four jade ribbons have sauce red on them, which adds a bit of natural beauty. Such a delicate carving process has reached the level of supernatural dù.

The shopkeeper said: "I know that the little boy has a good eye, this jade belt is said to be a rare treasure, I spent most of the furniture to buy it, the only pity is that it can only be collected, can not be lightly shown to people, so I want to keep it as an heirloom, even if the family changes, as long as it is in hand, it is enough to rise." ”

"The shopkeeper really thinks about the long term, and this is the best thing to do as an heirloom." Xia Chen took a closer look and concluded that the owner of this jade belt was definitely not a king or a marquis, and he could be transferred to the hands of merchants, either robbed or robbed, and the shopkeeper dared to buy it, nine times out of ten it was the income from tomb robbery.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "This is also something that can't be helped, my son has no intention of family business, and I can't plan for him early." ”

Xia Chen asked, "Why did Zhan Gongzi leave again?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "As soon as I came back, he left, and it was not easy to keep the store for me for three days." Speaking of the jade horse: "If this little boy likes it, five hundred taels." ”

Xia Chen saw that this jade horse was carved from a whole piece of jade, the color was from light to dark, natural, the carving was delicate and thin, and the price was really cheap, she took out five hundred taels of silver tickets from the ring and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Deal." ”

Leaving the antique shop, Yue Feiyun finally couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get so much money?" ”

Xia Chen blinked his eyes: "Just rely on this antique, buy it cheaply and sell it at a high price." ”

Yue Feiyun looked surprised: "So you are very proficient in this way?" It's strange that I don't buy losses. ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "Brother Yue, it seems that the shopkeeper Zhan doesn't know about Zhantian's arrest, how is this possible?" ”

Yue Feiyun frowned: "I'm also very strange, even if he didn't recruit himself, the people from the Criminal Department should find out." ”

Xia Chen bit his lip: "Zhan Tian wanted to let Zhan Shopkeeper sell his property to Jiangnan to do other business early in the morning, it seems that he had expected today, so he made preparations early." ”

"Well, according to what you said, he is away all the year round, and Xu also arranged another fake identity, so the people from the Criminal Department did not find out." Yue Feiyun agreed with her idea.

Xia Chen originally wanted to go to Fengyue Villa to have a look, but he didn't want Yue Feiyun to go with him, so he said: "Brother Yue, I want to visit a friend, and I'm worried that Wei Han won't be able to find us when he comes back, so it's better for you to go back first." ”

Yue Feiyun said: "It's okay, you should be careful yourself." Then he told the coachman to stop, and after a few more words, he hired another carriage and went home.

When he came to Fengyue Villa, Hua Manlou had already left with Shang Wuchen, Qiyun also went with him, and Sai Xue stayed to take care of the villa.

Xia Chen asked, "Brother Fengyue, can you bring a letter back?" ”

Sai Xue shook her head: "My son-in-law left in a hurry this time, and there has been no news so far." ”

Xia Chen asked, "Did he go out like this in the past?" So what if something happens in the business or at home? She felt that Hua Manlou would never abandon the family business like this, they must have contact information.

Sai Xue said: "Don't hide it from Xia Gongzi, I think my son-in-law can know the world at home, and he can also know about family affairs when he goes out, as for how he did it, I don't know." ”

When Xia Chen heard this, she suddenly felt as if there were a pair of eyes staring at her secretly, she glanced around and stood up: "I'll leave first, if he comes back, please inform me." ”

"Yes, I'll send Childe."

It wasn't until the evening that Wei Han appeared, with a tired look on his face, and called Xia Chen to Yue Feiyun's study with a solemn expression: "Chen'er, Feiyun, something is wrong, the food sent to the prison last night was poisoned, and most of the prison guards and prisoners were poisoned. ”

Xia Chen asked in surprise: "What about Zhantian?" ”R1152
