Situ Yu's eyes were deep and silent. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Order someone to find out the details of his origin, and report it at any time if there is a situation." After a pause, his face became gloomy: "How many people did we lose this time?" ”

"Feng Pavilion is just a messenger Feng Yin suffered internal injuries, six brothers died under his command, Yun Pavilion suffered heavy losses, and the hidden envoy Yun Ji and two hall masters and twenty-eight brothers under him died, so that Yun Pavilion's forces in Changhe County were all in danger, I have asked Ye Chao and Xiao Jiu to turn around to Changhe County halfway, one is to transfer the rest of the hidden stakes for redeployment, and the other is to deal with the spies in the cabinet and eliminate the remnants of the same party." Qing Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were gloomy.

This Fengyun Hall was founded by him and Situ Yu five years ago, and there are two pavilions under the hall, which are divided into four envoys of concealment, letter, wealth and war, and the eight envoys of Fengyun directly obey the orders of the two. Among them, Fengge focuses on concealment and letter, "hidden" is the hidden guard, "letter" is the intelligence transmission organization, and the capital is the main scope of activities; The cloud pavilion is heavy on wealth and war, "wealth" is all over the world, is the main economic source of Fengyuntang's operating expenses, and the "war" in the cloud pavilion is the most mysterious and important place in Fengyuntang, Yunge has a wide range of control, in addition to the capital, all important counties including Sangyue, Xiyou have strongholds.

Although the two pavilions of Fengyun act separately, they depend on each other, so there is a saying that "when the wind rises, the clouds move", many spies who infiltrated Fengyun Hall all came to explore the war envoys of Yunge.

Qing Ming's handling of the incident was recognized by Situ Yu, he nodded and said with a resolute gaze: "Bury the dead, reward the meritorious, and hang the corpse of the spy at the gate of Changhe City to show the public!"

"Demonstrative? Aren't you afraid of startling the snake? I think it's important to find out who is behind it. The dead Yun Yin is very suspicious, if you didn't save him that day, how could you be injured? I've checked the scene, and the weapon that stabbed you was fed with poison, and the other party seemed to know our whereabouts very well, so it can be seen that this is a trap at all, and I want to pull out our secret stake in Changhe County and take the opportunity to get rid of you! Qing Ming was resentful at the thought that his eldest brother had almost lost his life.

"No need, who else but him!" In the past few years, from his return to Beijing to the promotion of Jin as king, that person seems to be calm on the surface, but there is no lack of action behind the scenes.

"You mean the Prince? Does he know that Fengyuntang is your power? Qing Ming groaned.

"He's probably guessing too."

In the past few years, the prince has been keeping an eye on Fengyuntang, but Situ Yu has not paid attention to it, not because he is afraid of fighting him, but because the time has not come. Now he is so anxious, I am afraid that he will see that the emperor's dragon health is not safe, and his condition is getting worse, he is worried that his power will be unstable and he will not be able to ascend the throne smoothly. But the more anxious he is, the easier it is to mess with himself.

"However, the prince doesn't seem to have such strength, so he can actually bury a high-level secret stake like the Cloud Hidden Envoy in the Cloud Pavilion, and you are the 'Soul Redemption'!" Qing Ming frowned and analyzed.

"You mean the Rakshasa Gate!" The corners of Situ Yu's mouth hooked slightly, revealing an evil sneer: "So what? The king has not yet taken them into account! ”

The crown prince in the court relied on Xi Bochang, the prince of Zhenguo, and now he has a relationship with the famous mysterious organization "Rakshasa Gate" in the rivers and lakes, it seems that he is ready to give it a go.

After Situ Yu finished speaking, he got up and left, and suddenly turned around when he arrived at the door: "Burn that carriage!" ”

"Burned?" Qing Ming asked distressedly, you must know that the carriage is made of red sandalwood, which is worth 10,000 gold, which is too extravagant to say that it is burned, but the eldest brother has never left any clues in his work.

Situ Yu ignored Qing Ming's surprise, and as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, the housekeeper Li Cheng came forward to report: "Lord Wang, the eldest lady of the Xi family is here, and she is waiting in the flower hall at this time." ”

Hearing this, he paused, his eyes narrowed slightly to the location of the flower hall, his eyes flashed with a complicated light, and he turned to walk towards the flower hall.

The woman waiting in the flower hall has towering temples, her face is like a hibiscus, her eyes are full of autumn water, her smile is full, and she is wearing a light yellow dress wrapped with a delicate figure.

This is Xi Ruoya, who is known as the "first beauty of Changli", the pearl of Xi Bochang, the prince of Zhenguo, and the "Yuanxi County Lord" personally named by the emperor, is the only foreign surname county lord of Changli, who has been raised with the prince and princess since childhood, and is commensurate with brothers and sisters, and its honor is extraordinary.

Situ Yu waved away the maid ring, looked at the woman who was slowly walking towards him, and said with a smile: "Ruoya is coming, why don't you let someone pass the word earlier, I will also order my subordinates to prepare a sumptuous dinner early." ”

"Ruoya learned that the third brother was caught a cold on the way out of the tour, and she was worried, today my brother happened to see the third brother's carriage entering the city at the city gate, I came over immediately after I got the news, and now I see that you are fine, I am also relieved!" Xi Ruoya said with concern.

Since she first met Situ Yu, who was still the third prince at the time, three years ago, Xi Ruoya became interested in those indifferent eyes. Since she was a child, she has been the focus of everyone, her family background is prominent, her talent and appearance are unique, even the princesses are inferior to her, she has been a high-minded and arrogant lord since she was a child, ordinary men flock to her, but they can't get into her eyes at all. Only this Situ Yu, those deep and cold eyes, did not look at her in his eyes, but aroused her strong desire to conquer.

"Oh, that's my fault, and my sister is in vain. In this case, I have to make amends to Sister Ruoya!" After saying that, he looked at her in a similar way.

"What are you doing here, do you want people to laugh at me for not knowing how to be polite?" Ruoya hurriedly stopped his movements, and hurriedly glanced around, now this Situ Yu is not as good as the prince, not to mention that Xi Ruoya is bent on marrying him, so she naturally has to be measured in front of him. However, when he saw that King Chen, who everyone feared, was so amused by her, his heart was as sweet as honey.

Qing Ming, who followed Situ Yu, saw that the two were flirting and scolding, he was displeased, and he didn't talk, so he walked to the corner of the flower hall alone, and took the chess pieces to set up a chess game. He really didn't understand, when did the eldest brother, who has always regarded women as nothing, become interested in this woman, although she is "the first beauty in Changli", but Qing Ming doesn't like her in his heart.

"Whoever dares to make fun of you, I will punish him severely. It's you, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't have anything else to do except visit the sick?. Situ Yu looked at Xi Ruoya intentionally in his words.

"There's one thing, but it's not too urgent. There are three months left for the emperor's fiftieth birthday, when all the princes and generals will gather in the capital, even Sang Yue and Xiyou will send envoys to congratulate the birthday, Ruoya thought about sending a big gift to the emperor, but I really can't think of what to send, knowing that the third brother has always had an idea, this is not just running to ask you for advice. After that, he looked at Situ Yu with a slightly red face.

In fact, Xi Ruoya wanted to say that she was already married, and the emperor would give her a marriage after her fiftieth birthday, she wanted to know Situ Yu's mind, but she was really embarrassed to say it.

Xi Ruoya's thoughts, how could Situ Yu not know, just deliberately teasing her but not breaking it: "Oh? This is really a big deal, if Sister Ruoya has a heart, let me help you think about it. ”

"What's there to think about, isn't Miss Xi a famous talented girl in Changli? The saint has a great birthday, and you will take this opportunity to offer a dance, so that the people of the world can see that the demeanor of our talented women in Changli is not very good. Qing Ming, who was staying on the side, suddenly interjected, and the corners of his mouth raised a playful smile.

When Xi Ruoya heard this, her face changed slightly, and then she also showed a faint smile and said: "Young Master Qingming is really good at laughing, if you talk about talent and appearance, who in Changli Country is as good as one-tenth of Miss Su of 'Ning Xiang Lou', but it is rare in the world to see Ruoya, and it is just a false rumor." Isn't the young man tired of Miss Su, and he can't even see Miss Su's talent? After speaking, he looked at Qing Ming defiantly. I thought: You compare me to a dancer, don't blame me for being merciless and touching your scales.

In her words, she implied that her status was noble, and it was difficult for the world to get a glimpse of her talent, and ridiculed Su Yingying for her low background and fame, but she was just a woman who was tired of being played in the Qinglou.

Qing Ming looked at Xi Ruoya with a gloomy face.

Everyone knows that Su Yingying, the top brand of Changli's first Qinglou "Ningxiang Building", is the confidant of the Qingming Gongzi, although she is in the land of smoke and willows, but the quality is noble, and the world has no courage to steal incense because of the Qingying Gongzi, although she has a covetous heart but has no courage to steal incense, so Su Yingying has always been a performer and does not sell herself.

Seeing that the two were facing each other-for-tat, and the appearance of saber rattling, Situ Yu also sank his face. At this time, the next person came to ask for dinner, and the two of them "hummed" and walked out of the flower hall dissatisfied.
