Under the guidance of the old man, Han Zhan found the old mansion of Zhao Zhong, the middle attendant. As soon as he reached the gate, he saw Patch coming out of the door. Seeing if the patch hadn't noticed him, he raised his voice and shouted, "Patch! ”

When Patch heard someone shouting to himself, he was stunned for a moment, looked left and right for a while, and then saw Han Zhan on horseback, his face immediately showed a surprised expression, he ran over quickly and grabbed the reins of the horse, and asked in surprise: "Childe, when did you come back, I'm still worried that you won't find our new home." ”

"I'm back today," Han Zhan turned over and dismounted, and said to the patch: "I just went to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and who knew that the military marquis guarding the door told me that the family had moved here." Patch called a servant standing outside the door and asked him to take Han Zhan's horse away, and then accompanied Han Zhan inside.

Han Zhan's new residence was in the courtyard of Erjin, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard with the patch, he met Pear Blossom who was walking outside. Seeing Han Zhan who suddenly appeared, Pear Blossom exclaimed in surprise and rushed straight over, but two or three steps away from Han Zhan, she suddenly stopped and asked timidly, "When did Childe come back?" ”

"I arrived at noon today," Han Zhan saw that it was getting late at the moment, and he had lost too much time on the road because he was lost, and if he didn't explain it clearly to Lihua, he would invite her to complain, so he was silent for a moment and said: "I originally wanted to go home immediately, but I even heard the soldier guarding the door say that my family had moved here, so I immediately rode over." Who knew that he was not familiar with the path, and he got lost in the middle of the road, and he didn't get home until this time. ”

"Don't talk about it, you must be hungry and tired after a day of traveling." When Rika heard this, she immediately interrupted his words, and pulled him towards the room without saying anything, and at the same time ordered the patch standing aside: "Patch, hurry up and prepare hot water for Childe, Childe wants to bathe and change clothes." ”

Han Zhan followed Pear Blossom into the room and found that it was a mess, and there were even several large boxes piled up on the ground. Seeing that Han Zhan's eyes had been staring at those boxes, Pear Blossom hurriedly explained, "Childe, we just moved here two days ago, and a lot of things haven't been packed yet, so it looks very messy. Sit down, and the servant will pour you a glass of water. ”

Lihua walked in front of Han Zhan with a bowl of water, and said, "Childe, go and prepare it for you." After speaking, he handed the water to Han Zhan, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.

Han Zhan had not eaten water and rice outside for almost a day today, and he was already hungry and thirsty, so as soon as the pear blossom left, he hurriedly took a sip of water. Noticing that the water tasted sweet, he took another sip and realized that it was honey water.

Just as Han Zhan was drinking water, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and it seemed that a lot of people had come. Patch walked in first, followed by two servants carrying huge barrels. As the three entered, Patch said to a vacant spot, "Put the bucket here." ”

As soon as the servants had set up the wooden buckets, a group of people came in hula outside the door, each carrying a bucket in his hand. They stepped forward in turn and poured the hot water from the bucket into the bucket.

After a dozen or so servants ran back and forth twice with buckets, Patch waved them away, and then said to Han Zhan respectfully, "Childe, the hot water is ready." ”

"yes, I see." Han Zhan was not used to taking a bath by himself, and someone next to him was watching, so he put on a son's posture and waved his hand towards the patch: "You go down first." ”

He thought that the patch would say, "Childe, let me stay and serve you to bathe." Patch didn't say anything, bowed slightly, turned and walked out of the room, and closed the door.

Han Zhan had just started to loosen his clothes and was about to take a bath in the wooden barrel when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Thinking that there was something to add to the patch, he asked impatiently, "Is there anything else?" ”

Who knew that it was a female voice who answered him: "What else can the servant do, of course, he is dead to serve the son to bathe!" ”

Han Zhan turned his head to see that it was Lihua who came in with a food box. He hurriedly stopped the movements of his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "It turned out to be a pear blossom, you put down the food box and go out, I'm going to take a bath." ”

Pear Blossom put down the food box, not only did not go out, but stepped forward to help Han Zhan undress, and at the same time asked in a strange tone, "Why should I go out?" ”

"Men and women don't kiss," although Han Zhan couldn't confirm whether there was such a saying in this era, he still said stubbornly: "I want to bathe, it's not very convenient for you to stay here as a woman." ”

"What's inconvenient," Lihua said with a smile, "When the son bathes, it's not the maid who serves it." After speaking, he stepped forward and stripped Han Zhan of all by dividing five by two.

Han Zhan's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, it was the first time he faced a girl naked, not to mention that he remembered that in ancient times, there seemed to be a custom of maidservants bathing with their masters. And Pear Blossom, the initiator, ran to the wooden barrel, reached out and touched the water temperature, and then turned to Han Zhan and said, "Childe, the water temperature is just right, hurry up and take a bath!" ”

Han Zhan sat down in the barrel, but Pear Blossom didn't follow in, she just stood by the barrel, untied the bun on Han Zhan's head, and washed his hair. At the same time, he also asked Han Zhan if he had encountered anything interesting on the road during his mission.

When Pear Blossom asked this, she couldn't help but remind Han Zhan of her assassination experience. After sending Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong, and Gongsun Zhan, he turned his suspicious eyes to Jizhou. He thought that the assassin's goal of killing him could not be to prevent Han Fu from ceding Jizhou to Yuan Shao, so would anyone do the most in the first place?

But as soon as this idea came to him, he denied it. As far as he knew, among the three people with the strongest opposition, Geng Wu and Min Chun had already reached a consensus with him, and they would not take any action, but only maintain a wait-and-see attitude. This can be seen from the fact that Yuan Shao entered the city today and was not assassinated by Geng and Min.

As for Fu Zhu, this is a decent gentleman, and he doesn't bother to do any assassination at all. What's more, he has no grievances with him in the past and no enmity in the near future, so he has no reason to kill himself.

Now that the suspicion of Jizhou's civil and military affairs has been ruled out, could it be that someone in the family wants to kill him? He thought about all four younger brothers, and the five younger sisters were women's generation and did not pose any threat to him; The third brother Han Qian and the fourth brother Han Yue are still young and can also be directly excluded.

The biggest suspicion is only the second brother Han Shan, he is fifteen years old this year, although he is a concubine, but his mother is quite favored by Han Fu, and may have blown a lot of pillow wind, so that after Han Fu is a hundred years old, the position of Jizhou Mu will be passed to Han Shan. If he wants to take over, he has to kill himself.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan opened his eyes and asked Lihua tentatively: "What are the two sons doing during the time I am not at home?" ”

Rika thought for a while and replied: "The second son fell in love with martial arts, and the prince of the palace specially invited a master for him to come to the mansion to teach him, and he danced in the garden every morning and evening. ”

Dancing at home every day?! When Han Zhan heard this, he couldn't help but muttered something in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly felt that what he had been stabbed in the first place was about to come to light.
