Cao Miao sat cross-legged on the Hu bed under the porch, her hands on her knees, her eyes slightly closed, her breath long, and her mind relaxed.

In the middle of summer in June, the scorching sun was in the sky, the cicadas were high-pitched, Han Dong's face and neck were reddened, and his forehead was covered with sweat, but he didn't dare to move lightly, and the smile on his face became more and more reluctant, but he didn't dare to put it away, let alone show a vicious state.

was ordered to check the school's jade seal and inner danshu, and he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. After this matter is done, he can be promoted to a higher level and become Yin Mo's henchman. If it is done badly, it is likely that the case of Wang Tai's murder will still be carried by him, and the anger of the officials will burn him to the point that there is not even a handful of ashes left.

I heard that Lu Qian, the assassin of Xuzhou, was very concerned about this matter, and Lu Qian's other driver was Wang Tai's brother Wang Xiang. Compared with those people, although Cao Miao in front of him was rude, he was finally easier to deal with.

Ah Hu stood aside with the knife, silent, and did not squint. Han Dong was also very conscious, and he didn't even communicate with Ah Hu with his eyes. Ah Hu is his informant, and he also needs Ah Hu to provide him with Cao Miao's every move, so naturally he can't be exposed.

Han Dong stood under the scorching sun for an hour, almost stunned by the sun, before Cao Miao slowly opened his eyes.

"Yo, Han Xiaoshi, when did you come back?" Cao Miao was "surprised".

Han Dong beat his spirit and squeezed out a smile. "Just arrived in the morning. Disturbing the prince's practice, capital offense, capital offense. ”

"You may be seated, you may be seated." Cao Miao was very enthusiastic, ordered the green peach and red apricot to serve wine, and ordered Ah Hu to bring a glass to Han Dong, but did not greet Han Dong to take a seat, and still let him stand at the foot of the stairs, enjoying the scorching sun, and sweating profusely.

After being exposed to the sun for nearly an hour, Han Dong's throat was smoking, and when he saw this glass of water, he couldn't wait to drink it all in one gulp, and even grabbed the kettle in front of Cao Miao. But he still resisted his impulse and thanked Cao Miao first.

"Prince Xie. If you don't have any merit, you don't dare to be ashamed. ”

"It's not for nothing." Cao Miao looked at Han Dong with a smile. "If you kill Wang Tai, you can be regarded as helping my father and son get angry."

The corners of Han Dong's mouth twitched, holding the wine glass, not knowing whether to drink or not.

"School affairs go and come back, have a new mission?" Cao Miao took a sip of water and smiled.

Han Dong gritted his teeth and drank the water in one gulp. The fact that Wang Tai was not killed by him cannot be said at present, and he can only carry this pot for the time being. "I have something to ask the eldest prince for."

"Me?" Cao Miao became more and more curious.

"Exactly. Since Chen Liutai guarded Sun Yong's book, the Nei Dan technique was popular in Beijing, and Dong was ordered to investigate the details. The day before yesterday in Chenliu, I met with Sun Yong, and Sun Yong said that this Neidan technique was passed down by the prince. Therefore, Higashi took the liberty to visit and ask the prince to clear up his doubts so that he could return to his life. ”

Han Dong took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Cao Miao. "What the prince practiced just now, isn't it the Inner Dan Technique?"

Cao Miao smiled but did not answer, and looked at Han Dong for a moment. "Is there an edict?"

Han Dong hesitated and shook his head. In front of others, he can also pretend to be a tiger and use the edict to oppress people. In front of Cao Miao, he didn't dare to take risks, in case Cao Miao asked him for an edict, but he couldn't take it out, Cao Miao was likely to bite him back.

"There is no edict in the owner's hand, it is an order from the superior." Han Dong was deliberately vague.

Cao Miao let out an "oh" and didn't say anything more. Since it is an internal order of the school affairs, it has nothing to do with him. He can cooperate with Han Dong or not. Whether to cooperate or not depends on what Han Dong does.

Seeing Cao Miao's unreasonable appearance, Han Dong was very helpless. He knew that Cao Miao would not tell him easily, but there was no other way for him to do so. He couldn't check the matter of the jade seal of the school, so he could only wait. The answer to the Inner Dan Technique was right in front of him, and he couldn't let it go.

Han Dong gritted his teeth, lifted the hem of his clothes, and fell to the ground on one leg. The ground was so hot from the sun that my knees were getting burned. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and said in a deep voice: "Dong is ignorant and rebellious, he was rude to the prince before, and he has been uneasy in his heart for several months, and he regrets it, and he asks the prince to punish him." ”

Cao Miao crooked her mouth and slowly put down the water glass in her hand. "Get up. I'm a man who doesn't hold grudges. You were rude to me, and I beat you up. The grievances have been settled, and there is no need to worry about school affairs. ”

Han Dong grinned, resisted the urge to scold, stood up, and bowed goodbye. "Thank you, Prince. The prince is worthy of being a cultivator, and he has a ...... mind."

Cao Miao smiled and unceremoniously interrupted Han Dong. "The school is in Beijing, have you ever heard of news related to Wang Ji?"

Han Dong thought for a moment. "This time I returned to Beijing for a short time, and I didn't hear too much news. If the prince wants to inquire, Dong can serve the prince and help the prince to repay the prince's righteousness. ”

"Thank you for your help." Cao Miao said lightly: "If you can kill him directly, it would be better." ”

Han Dong's cheeks twitched. Cao Miao's condition is too much. He thought for a while and said: "The prince doesn't know, although Wang Ji's surname is Wang, he is different from Wang Tai, he is not the Langya Wang, but the Taiyuan Wang. ”

Cao Miao snorted: "So what? ”

"The prince has been practicing in the palace for a long time, and he may not care much about the affairs outside the palace. Today's Yanzhou Thorn Wang Chang is also from the Taiyuan Wang family, and Wang Ji is a brother. Wang Chang is a former minister of the East Palace of the first emperor, and he has won the trust of the first emperor, and His Majesty also trusts him. ”

Cao Miao was somewhat surprised. Although he was not familiar with the details of history, he had heard of Wang Chang's name. Wang Chang is now the assassin of Yanzhou? In this way, the Yongqiu Royal Mansion is also within Wang Chang's jurisdiction, and if you want to be unfavorable to Wang Ji, you can't ignore Wang Chang's reaction.

It's no wonder that school affairs that make people smell the tiger and change color are afraid of three points.

"Since the school is in a difficult situation, I don't force it." Cao Miao got out of the bed, raised his hand, and went into the inner room. "Ah Hu, send Han to school."

"Whoa." Ah Hu answered, went down the steps, came to Han Dong, and stretched out his hand to signal.

was ordered to be expelled by Cao Miao, Han Dong was very depressed, but he had no choice but to follow Ah Hu out. When the two walked side by side, Han Dong whispered, "Brother, what's the news lately?" ”

Ah Hu turned his head quietly, looked around vigilantly, and made sure that no one was paying attention to him, before he whispered: "Dare to sue the school matter, the prince recently got a thing, which seems to be related to your school affairs." ”

Han Dong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

"A jade seal, with a button on it, I heard the king say that when it was the jade seal of Emperor Wu who commanded the school, it was also known as the jade seal. It's just that this seal has been missing for many years, and for some reason it has reappeared in the hands of the prince. ”

Han Dong was overjoyed, and it was easy to restrain his ecstasy and not show it on his face. He was worried that he had no way to inquire about the school affairs jade seal, so he could only sit and wait for that person to come to him, but he didn't expect the school affairs jade seal to appear in Cao Miao's hands, but it really took no effort to get it.

It's such an opportunity, and I can't stop it. Han Dong was so happy that he almost flew up, but he was not vigilant.

"When?"

"One night shortly after the school left." While speaking, he had already arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, Ah Hu stopped and said goodbye.

Han Dong said goodbye to Ah Hu solemnly, turned around and left, his steps brisk.
