Cuiya Courtyard is where the Ning family lives, because it is night, it is quiet all around.

The courtyard door that should have been locked was pushed open from the outside, and a figure looked around for a long time before entering the courtyard and walking briskly towards Ning's main house.

When this person knocked on the door and entered the house, under the light of the candlelight in the room, her appearance was revealed, and it was actually the white mother who had just come out of Xiao Jinxuan's.

And now in Ning's room, in addition to Ning's mother and daughter, there is also a person wearing a white satin cloak.

The three of them were talking softly, but when they saw Mother Bai coming in, they all stopped their voices and looked at each other expectantly.

And the young Xiao Jinlian couldn't help but ask, "Mother Bai, you can get the things." ”

Mother Bai nodded, and said with a flattering mouth: "Second Miss, don't worry, I got the letter, and it's here." ”

As she spoke, she took out a piece of letter paper from her arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to Xiao Jinlian.

Then I heard her say as if she was invited: "The fourth lady is really cunning now, and she even sent someone to follow me afterwards, but the yellow-haired girl couldn't help but be frightened, and she was sent away by me in a few clicks." ”

Mother Bai said that it was naturally Zhilan, she was old and fine, but it didn't take long to find out that she was being followed.

So she simply went around to a remote place, said that she had acted in a good show, and directly sent Zhilan, who was half scared to death, very easily got rid of this tail, and came back unconsciously.

Xiao Jinlian couldn't care about anything else, she couldn't wait to open the letter, and after reading it roughly, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately handed the letter to the person in the cloak.

asked in a shy whisper: "Ji Gongzi, do you look at this letter, Lian'er is young and doesn't understand this." ”

This shy and pretty little appearance, the appearance of a full spring girl, and the person with the cloak, looking up and revealing his face, is not Ji Lingfeng, who else can it be.

I saw him nod politely to Xiao Jinlian, then took the letter and read it carefully.

Surprise flashed in his eyes, that day in the Song Mansion, although he knew that Xiao Jinxuan was literate, he didn't want to write a good hand.

The delicate and graceful font on the paper suddenly made Xiao Jinxuan's gentle and cold face appear in his mind, and suddenly his heart jumped violently, and a strange feeling spread in his heart.

Before Ji Lingfeng could figure out what that feeling represented, Xiao Jinlian on the side spoke again: "Ji Gongzi, what's wrong with you, is this a letter?" ”

Xiao Jinlian was asking questions in her mouth, but her eyes were obsessed, looking at Ji Lingfeng's handsome face, and she didn't want to move away for a moment.

On that day in the Song Mansion, she didn't see that Ji Lingfeng was slapped in the face in public, and she was embarrassed.

But people are really strange sometimes, if a person with an average appearance, he is so humiliated, in exchange for the scorn of onlookers, and even thinks that he deserves to be unlucky.

And Xiang Ji Lingfeng, this kind of personable son, it's different, I don't know how many young ladies there were that day, seeing him being slapped, my heart was going to break, and Xiao Jinlian was one of them.

After returning from that day, Xiao Jinlian locked herself in the house, and others thought that she hid because she was compared to her sister in public and couldn't hold her face.

But no one thought that this second lady of the Xiao family was actually suffering from lovesickness, and her mind was full of Ji Lingfeng, lying on ** every day, no disease**, missing her lover.

Just when Xiao Jinlian didn't think about tea and dinner, Ji Lingfeng actually took the initiative to come to Ning's family, and said that he was here to cooperate, hoping that Ning's family would help him work together to rectify Xiao Jinxuan.

This is a surprise for Xiao Jinlian, not only can she see her lover, but she can also clean up Xiao Jinxuan, so when Ning hesitated, she tried her best to promote it, and she was complacent about this result for several days.

Talking about Ji Lingfeng, who was interrupted by Xiao Jinlian like this, he also recovered from his stunned thoughts, and said with an elegant smile: "Second Miss don't worry, this letter is enough." ”

The Ning family on the side was much more cautious, and when he saw that the matter was done, he said: "Since this is the case, please ask Ji Gongzi to go back, the longer you are in my world, the easier it will be to be discovered." ”

Hearing this, Ji Lingfeng stood up, bowed to the Ning clan, and said, "In that case, madam, Miss Lian Er, I will leave that night." ”

Xiao Jinlian was naturally reluctant, but she was pulled by the Ning family, and said: "Mother Bai wants to take the lead this time, how to reward her is all up to Ji Gongzi." ”

Ji Lingfeng smiled when he heard this, and said to Mother Bai, who was full of joy on the side: "What Madam said is that Mom and I should leave together, and I have already prepared the reward for you." ”

When Mother Bai heard this, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

On that day in Zhuangzi, she went out to buy things for the Ning family, but as soon as she came back, she heard that her niece Ping'er was heavily punished for disrespecting Xiao Jinxuan, and her life and death were unknown.

Thinking of what she had done before, Mother Bai was so frightened that she didn't dare to go back, so she simply turned around and fled.

But she hid for a long time, because the deed was still in Ning's hands, and finally went back.

But at this moment, Ji Lingfeng found her and said that as long as she was willing to help, she would not only help her get back the deed, but also help her avenge Ping'er, but in fact, this was not the most impressive to Mother Bai.

In the end, it was Ji Lingfeng who persuaded her that he would give her a large sum of silver afterwards to ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Now seeing that a large amount of silver is about to arrive, Mother Bai is excited, but still does not forget to say: "That lady, my deed ......"

Ning smiled, got up and took out a square piece of paper from a small box, handed it to Bai's mother and said, "Here, Mom has taken it." ”

Looking at Mother Bai's thanksgiving and joyful face, Ning sneered in her heart.

Anyway, if I don't give you this deed, it will turn into a piece of waste paper in a while, so let's make you happy, and it will be regarded as the last gift I will give you from the master and servant.

On the silent and uninhabited street, Ji Lingfeng, who was wearing a cloak, rode a snow-white horse, raised his whip and hurried, until he reached the gate of the Song Mansion, he turned over and dismounted, knocked on the door, and entered.

Driving straight to the backyard of the Song Mansion, he walked towards one of the guest rooms, and when he arrived at the door, he tidied up his appearance, then knocked on the door, and after getting the answer, he walked in.

As soon as I entered, I found that the sixth prince Zhou Xianqi, the lord of Yuanning County, Qian Yingluo, and a tall and thin man were sitting inside, and this person was Yangzhou Mansion Yin, Song Peng.

The three of them were obviously deliberately waiting for Ji Lingfeng to come back, and when they saw the sixth prince open their mouths, they asked, "Is the matter done?" Ling Feng, do you think this matter is really feasible? ”

After Ji Lingfeng sat down, he said very confidently: "Sixth Highness, don't worry, now that the Ning Clan is willing to help, we have already done half of this matter." ”

At this time, Song Peng on the side said worriedly: "I am an official in Yangzhou, big and small, and I am united, but only this Xiao Heng, who holds the military power, is simply not in the oil and salt, I have tried many times, but he has not shown that he is willing to support His Royal Highness, even if something ugly happened to the Xiao family, can it make Xiao Heng compromise, and the lower officials always feel uneasy." ”

In fact, Song Peng is really scared of Xiao Heng, he is the biggest official in Yangzhou's political affairs. And the other side is the number one military leader.

Although the two of them are both second-class in rank, Xiao Heng has a lot of military power, and every time Song Peng talks to him, he feels that he is seriously lacking in confidence.

Although he has the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion behind him, he is also a descendant of the Marshal's Mansion, and now that Ji Lingfeng is here to deal with this old political enemy, Song Peng will inevitably be worried and afraid.

But Ji Lingfeng smiled and said: "The Xiao family has never participated in partisan disputes, and I didn't plan to threaten Xiao Heng, but if a scandal breaks out in his family, it will naturally affect his prestige in the army, and then he will inevitably rush back to the barracks, so that he can prevent him from joining forces with King Rui, and then King Rui will be left alone, and I am afraid that he will be able to make a big wave in Yangzhou." ”

The eyes of the six princes lit up after hearing this, the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty advocated righteousness, especially the military generals, if they were not right, it was easy to be criticized, the only variable in Yangzhou was Xiao Heng, if he could really contain him, his fifth brother would have to lie in the shallows even if he was a dragon, and it would be difficult to find out anything.

The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the sixth prince praised Ji Lingfeng a few more words, then got up and accompanied by Song Peng, and prepared to go back to his residence to rest. And no one noticed, a black shadow like a shadow, after everyone left, also flashed in the window and disappeared into the night.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and I saw two men with unusually handsome faces in an inn, playing Go.

And one of these two people is in a purple robe, and the other one is wearing a black power suit, which is the fifth prince Zhou Xianrui and the seventh prince Zhou Xianyu.

Seeing the sunspot in Zhou Xian's hand, he said with a smile: "Fifth brother, what news do you say the red shadow can bring back today, the sixth brother, has been a little abnormal these days." ”

Zhou Xianrui, who was holding the white child in his hand and staring intently at the chessboard, said with a calm face: "When the red shadow comes back, I will naturally know." ”

After speaking, the white piece in his hand fell into the chess and cards, and instantly ate most of Zhou Xianyu's chess pieces.

Seeing that the chess situation on his side was not good, Zhou Xianyu didn't care, and was about to speak, when suddenly the murderous spirit in his eyes appeared, and he listened carefully for a while, and then returned to his lazy appearance, and said with a low smile: "It's really about the red shadow, the red shadow is here." Fifth Brother is gone, I can't win against you anyway, so I might as well listen to what fun Red Shadow brings me back. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xianyu directly stretched out his slender jade hand and made a mess of the chess pieces on the chessboard, looking at his fifth brother, a touch of helplessness flashed on his perennial iceberg face. The evil smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little.

It seems that since he was very young, challenging Zhou Xianrui's bottom line of tolerance has become a great pleasure for Zhou Xianyu, and now everyone has grown up, but his bad taste can't be changed.

This week's ability to show the royal ear is indeed extraordinary, before his words fell, a black shadow jumped in through the window like lightning, and a man in a night suit knelt on one knee, wearing a red ghost head mask on his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.

Zhou Xianrui's deep eyes looked at the man, and asked in a low voice, "Red Shadow, have you heard anything?" ”

The man, who was called Red Shadow, nodded slightly, and said in a dull and cold voice: "Ji Lingfeng offered a plan, intending to target the Xiao Mansion, the six princes agreed, and the Ning family was their internal response. ”

Zhou Xianyu on the side suddenly "fluttered" and was happy. I saw him laugh for a while, and it wasn't until Zhou Xianrui glared at him that he barely stopped laughing.

Then he said lightly: "Every time I listen to the red shadow report to you, I can't help but want to laugh, sure enough, it's your shadow guard, this tone of speech is too similar to you, fifth brother." ”

The same concise and dry, the same serious and dull, for a casual person like Zhou Xianyu, the appearance of the red shadow always makes him feel very interesting.

Zhou Xianrui seemed to be accustomed to Zhou Xianyu's unobtrusive appearance, so he ignored him, and continued to ask: "Didn't you hear any specific conspiracy?" ”

Red Shadow simply shook his head this time, and it was an answer, and it was concise enough.

Zhou Xianrui's eyes flashed with thought, and he muttered: "It seems that in the past few days, I am going to go to Xiao Mansion, Chiying, you continue to monitor, and you will return quickly if you have something." ”

Just when Zhou Xianrui ordered this, Zhou Xianyu, who had always been idle, was surprisingly quiet and did not interject.

I saw that he was fiddling with a chess piece in his hand, but there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Xiao Jinxuan, I know what your name is, now that the fifth brother is going to your house, we will see you again soon, this time I see if you dare to pretend that you don't know me.

Zhou Xianyu thought happily and annoyedly in his heart, and the chess pieces in his hand were thrown in a dashing manner, flew out of the window, and quickly disappeared into the quiet night.
