Han Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "That's not necessarily. It depends on what his purpose is. ”

And they were silent.

Gu Song frowned: "But why does Uncle Ji think it will be King Zheng?" He is a dead man after all, and, besides him, it is extremely likely that the King of Liao and the Prince of Lu are all very likely! ”

"It's possible." Han Ji said, "So don't you want He Qun to go and find out the news?" However, if the King of Liao had such cautious subordinates, he would have been in chaos a long time ago, and there was no need to wait for this time. The people who can be sent to do this kind of thing are not something that can be finalized overnight. As for Prince Lu, he is a wall grass that blows on both sides, and when it comes to planning a career, I'm afraid it's almost hot. ”

After listening to this, Gu Song couldn't think of any doubts anymore.

"If it's okay, let's do it!" Han Ji said, "I'm not very sure, but it's better to take the initiative than to search so stupidly, if he hides under the ground and can't come out, then we can't find it for three days and three nights." Whoever he is, he has to be found. ”

Gu Song nodded, looked at Xue and them, discussed the direction of walking with each other, and then walked in three directions.

On Mingyufang's side, seeing that it was bedtime on weekdays, Mei Niang was afraid that something would happen to Shen Yan here, so she watched her enter the room and still strolled under the corridor.

The moon is clear in the sky, the sound of soldiers passing by and the sound of horses' hooves are heard from time to time outside the house, the house is not as big as the original Guogong Mansion, and the movement outside is also heard more real than in the Guogong Mansion, Mei Niang next to the begonia, lifted her skirt, and sat down on the stone steps under the corridor.

The moonlight shone on her scarred face like the shadow of a twig. The eyes that have gone through ups and downs have become extraordinarily calm over the years. It's like a pair of stars left between the shadows of the trees.

"It's almost summer, but it's still cool at night."

A robe was draped over her shoulders, her hair was put down, and Shen Yan, who was about to rest, stood beside her for some time, she boasted that she was alert, but she didn't even notice it.

She stood up: "Why didn't you sleep?" ”

"It's noisy outside, where can I sleep?" Shen Yan smiled bitterly, put the two brocade mats in his hand on the steps, and pulled her to sit down. "Although my father and I have only been married for more than a year, I have had countless hearts with him. It doesn't matter if you marry or not. At this time, I was destined not to close my eyes. But the more time we spend together, the more comfortable we become about these things. ”

She looked at Mingyue with her hands on her cheeks, no different from an ordinary girl. Even if it becomes a pro, the round house. The change of identity did not wear away her aura.

But even though there is a difference of nearly eighteen or nineteen years between them. Mei Niang didn't feel out of place either.

She had never seen a woman. It can be suitable for the old and the young, and can not only have the liveliness and agility of a girl, but also have the wisdom and wisdom of an adult woman. But she saw it in Shen Yan, from the first time she saw her in Zhuangzi, she could feel the tranquility and kindness in her heart, and when she saw her for the first time, she seemed to be very familiar.

This familiar feeling has continued to this day, and it has become very comfortable.

She rested her hands on her laps, looked at the moon, curled her lips slightly, and said, "It's a blessing that the young master can be with his wife. ”

"What's the matter, it's actually my blessing that we can be together." Shen Yan picked the tip of the grass with his hand, raised his lips and said: "Maybe I've seen too many unhappy marriages, plus my mother also suffered a lot when she first married my father, so I never knew that I could be so comfortable and happy after I got married, and I could continue to be so happy." ”

Mei Niang paused, "Your mother, have suffered a lot?" ”

She was very hesitant when she asked this sentence, no matter what she said, Hua Shi is the grandmother of the Shen family, and she is the wife of the Liubu Shilang, as a commoner, it is not easy for her to say these words on an equal footing with Shen Yan, and then to inquire about the past of Hua and Shen Mi, it is obviously a bit out of line.

But she couldn't help asking.

"Hmm."

Fortunately, Shen Yan didn't care, and he didn't look like he was fortified at all. "My mother and father are not complete childhood sweethearts, they also met in their teens, at that time the Great Zhou had just been founded, because my maternal grandfather recommended my grandfather to my father-in-law, and then my father-in-law recommended my grandfather to my grandfather, and gradually there was a relationship with each other."

There was no surprise on Meiniang's face. Her gaze was slightly misty, as if she had seen something long ago through the air in front of her.

Shen Yan suddenly turned his head, smiled, and said: "Every year on the festival day of the Chen Palace, my mother always likes to put a bottle of daylilies on the table, she said that it was her friend's favorite flower during his lifetime, she was the county lord of the palace, and she died in the massacre of the palace. But I think that King Chen's mansion has accumulated countless goodness, and God will definitely bless them, just like our lord has lived safely to the present, and the county lord may still be safe. ”

Mei Niang's eyes froze sharply, and she froze at the moonlight for a while before turning her eyes to look at her.

Shen Yan gently put her hand on the back of her hand, and her head gently turned sideways, "I don't know why, I always feel very kind when I see my sister, and I feel very relieved to have you by my side, I feel that I was the only one who worried about our father in the past, but now I am accompanied by someone, and it is the same worry." ”

Mei Niang looked at her smiling face in front of her, motionless, as if petrified there.

In the past 20 years, she has also been attached, Jingluo is also a clingy child, and he is inseparable from her every day. But it was a child she brought up from her swaddling clothes, like her own flesh and blood, and it was inevitable for her to accept it. But in the face of such intimacy as Shen Yan, who has not known each other for a long time, she did not reject it, on the contrary, she felt that there was some warmth in her empty heart.

What's going on?

Shen Yan doesn't seem to be the kind of person who will get close to people casually, she looks lively and scheming, but in fact, she knows everything, a woman from a family like her, should be educated more dignified and generous, and should not have physical contact with people at will.

"When is my sister, will you accompany me back to my parents' house to have a look?" Shen Yan withdrew his hand and sat up straight, the smile on his face unchanged.

Mei Niang seemed to have just floated up from under the water, took a long breath, and turned her face away.

Just as he was thinking about how to respond, the courtyard door opened at this moment, and someone walked in quickly with a lantern.

She stood up and saw that it was Rouge.

"Madam, Tao Xing, they are all back!" Rouge Road.

All back?

Shen Yan was stunned, glanced at Meiniang, and said, "What about the master?" ”

"I didn't come back." Rouge said: "The master ordered Tao Xing to return to the house with all the guards. ”

Shen Yan frowned, "But there are already many people in our mansion who Luo Wei and they brought to protect us, what are they going to do when they come back?" ”

"I don't know, that's how I arranged it anyway." Rouge Road.

Shen Yan was silent.

Han Ji wouldn't do this for no reason, although he still had Gu Song and Xue Zhu by his side—wait, he broke people apart, could it be some kind of premeditation?

She hurriedly asked, "What about Tao Xing?" ”

Tao Xing was in the front yard, although everyone felt that it was inappropriate for Han Ji to do this, but in the end, the master's order did not dare to disobey, and now he had met with the people of the Guogong Mansion, and was redeploying how to fortify the mansion.

Shen Yan hurriedly walked over and asked them, "What else did the master say besides taking you away?" What was done? ”

Tao Xing thought for a while and said, "After the young master sent the little ones away, he took two brothers from the middle military camp and went in the direction of Beicheng, while Gu Dong Xue and the three little sons went from the other three directions. ”

Go in four directions?

Shen Yan was a little puzzled.

looked at Mei Niang, Mei Niang was also speechless.

Shen Yan paused, frowned, and said, "Since the master has ordered so, then everyone will do their own duties." ”

Han Ji has her own measure, all she can do is to stay in a safe place obediently and protect herself from dragging everyone back. If the other party really dares to attack her at the same time, there are so many people in the house, which is enough to make her hair unscathed.

Mingyufang is more solidly defended here, and on the side of Beicheng, Han Ji has also taken the two deputy generals beside Wang Ju to the vicinity of Haizi.

Further north is the direction of Jishuitan, where the main wharf of Caoyun is located. Therefore, most of the people living by the water in this area are merchants, and naturally there are many houses rented by the coolies of the docks. However, the Four Seasons Hutong mentioned by Dong Slow is not in this area, but in the area of Ji'an Temple in the north of the city, which is still separated by three or four streets from the waterfront.

At the moment, there were no pedestrians on the road, but there were occasional patrolling officers and soldiers, and Han Ji drove his horse in a circle along the nearby streets, keeping an eye on the surrounding houses.

He Qun inquired about the news just now, the house of King Zheng that Dong Slow was referring to in the Four Seasons Hutong was not haunted, and he was not too surprised when he heard it, if it was really King Zheng who came back, then he probably wouldn't choose such a stupid way to wait for someone to catch him. But since Tao Xing saw with his own eyes that the other party was taking Jing Luo in this direction, even if it wasn't King Zheng, there would definitely be a situation here.

But he turned around more than a dozen times, and all the streets and alleys around him were around, and he didn't find any movement.

This did not match his suspicions, since he was also their target, and now that he was alone, how could they hold it? At least he's been here for so long, the news should have reached their ears.

He stood still and thought about it, then turned his head and said to the two lieutenants, "You go and send away the officers and soldiers patrolling nearby." He Qun continued to patrol with me. ”

The lieutenant generals were all stunned: "Isn't it dangerous to be such a son?" ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? Do as I say. He turned his head and commanded, and then rode his horse in the direction of the Four Seasons Hutong.

King Zheng's mansion is a large mansion with white walls and tiles in four halls. There is a mile from east to west, the north and south are deep and I don't know how to go, although no one takes care of it, but it is only two years of desertion, the trees in the corner of the courtyard are verdant, and the glazed tiles at the head of the wall are also very neat, at least from the outside, it still looks good.

Han Ji arrived at the foot of the east wall, listened attentively to the four sides, the footsteps from the streets had gradually disappeared, and it should have been far away. He turned back to make a look at He Qun, and the two abandoned their horses and turned into the wall.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with this house, since you are here, you must always go to see it to be reassuring. (To be continued......)
