But the result was not as she thought, Zhao Er shook his head, "Your Majesty just didn't do what a king should do, but when it comes to involving a battle, it is by no means easy, and even if it is to hold on to military power, there is no need to gamble on border territory." ”

The night breeze blew through the trees and blew the hem of their clothes.

Luo Qi lowered his eyes, and the strength of holding the jade pendant in his hand was a little less.

On weekdays, the wind at night is refreshingly cool, but now the wind makes her feel a little biting cold.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Er sighed silently in his heart, obviously a girl who was only one year older than Yan Ran, but she had to take on the responsibility of a clan, how tiring it was to live like this......

But he couldn't help her much, "Locke girl, that's all I know, as for whether it will be useful to you or not, and what you plan to do in the future, it has nothing to do with me." ”

He is just a generation of civil servants, and it is best not to get involved in the affairs of military generals, and he naturally understands the truth of self-preservation.

This time he came to Luo's Mansion just to say what he suspected back then, and as for whether it was useful to her or not, then he couldn't care.

Luo Qi can naturally understand his move, it is better for the courtiers to have less contact with each other, and the power in the hands of the two of them is too great, once it is found that they have dealings, it will inevitably arouse His Majesty's suspicion.

"Well, only you and I know about today's events."

Just as Zhao Er was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "Yuan Kai is coming back, maybe there is the answer you want in his place." ”

With that, he turned and left, without the slightest hesitation.

Luo Qi watched his figure gradually disappear from view, remembering what he had just said, "Yuan Kai......"

Her voice was soft, as if she was muttering something to herself.

……

At the same time, there was also an uninvited guest in the Xiyuan Palace, but the difference was that Mo Shen guessed his arrival.

In the pavilion, a man dressed in white sat on a stone bench, on the stone table a whole set of tea utensils, and a pot was placed on the stove next to it, the water in the pot had been boiled, and the sound of "gurgling" came out.

The man's face was serious and focused, and his slender and bony hand picked up the tea leaves from the tea box and put them in the tea bowl.

Seeing this, Phuket carefully lifted the pot on the stove and slowly poured boiling water into the tea bowl.

Soon, the fragrance of tea lingered all around......

A very small voice sounded at this moment, and the tip of Mo Shen's ears moved, and his lips opened, "Buji, stand down." ”

After Boogie left, Mo Shen glanced at the corridor in the dark.

"If you're here, why hide again?" His expression was pale, but the words he said implied a fierceness.

As the words fell, a figure jumped over and appeared in the pavilion in an instant.

Mo Shen looked up, and the silver-white bat mask on the face of the comer looked even more noble and mysterious under the moonlight.

The man sat directly opposite Mo Shen, and the corners of his bare lips were slightly hooked, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Shen Er's skills have improved a lot." ”

There was still surprise in his eyes that had not dissipated, he had obviously hidden all his breath, and he was easily known by Mo Shen about his arrival.

Mo Shen stared at the mask on his face quietly, and only after half a sound did he speak: "Didn't you say that Chen Guo's affairs would be handled by me?" ”

He looked away, lowered his eyes to the smoking tea bowl on the table, and said casually: "What, this doesn't need me anymore, just intervene in it?" ”

The visitor shook his head disapprovingly and chuckled, "How can this be? Wasn't it too sudden to tell you? Besides, they're just here to help you. ”

Mo Shen answered, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, as if smiling, listening to him quietly.

The look cast by the man on the other side made the smile on the masked man's face almost unbearable, and he changed the topic, "Shen'er has news of the treasure map?" ”

Mo Shen glanced at him, and the excitement in his eyes was clearly visible.

"You've been investigating in the wrong direction."

The face under the mask was stunned for a moment, "Wrong?" How could it be ......"

Suddenly, he came back to his senses, "No, how do you know we've been checking on the Locke family?" ”

"Huh! Do you think you can hide my actions in Chen Guo? The tone was calm, but the words were pronounced with a distinct sense of arrogance.

The Masked Man stared at him silently for a while, and he felt like they were going to lose control of him.

The man in front of him is no longer the child who was slaughtered back then.

He is the advisor of the Chen State, and the most trusted courtier of the Chen Emperor.

The masked man's face sank, and his tone was cold, "Shen'er, don't forget, you grew up under the protection of the Situ family, and your sister is now in the Qi Kingdom, and she still needs the Situ family......"

Hearing his sister's news, Mo Shen made a movement in his hand, stood up, and stared at him condescendingly with a cold look in his eyes, "You, don't touch her!" ”

When the masked man heard this, he felt a little relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "How come? Anyway, she still has half of the Situ family's blood in her body, how can we be willing to touch her? ”

Mo Shen sneered in his heart, if he had no use value, even if he shed the blood of the Situ family, wouldn't he just throw it away?

"Yuan Kai, Luo Fengji's lieutenant general, will return to the imperial capital soon. In him, there is the information you want. ”

I don't know how long it took, the moon quietly hid in the clouds, the charcoal fire in the stove next to the stone table had long been burned out, and the night breeze blew through the pavilion with a hint of coolness, taking away the faint fragrance of tea along the way.

Seeing that his grandfather had not returned for a long time, Boogie walked to the corridor not far from the pavilion and looked over, and saw a single figure sitting there.

I don't know if it was under the influence of this cool moonlight, Boogie felt that the figure was a little lonely at this moment, and he walked over.

"Master, it's late at night, do you want to go back to the palace to rest?" Boogie's voice was like a breeze, very soft and soft.

Mo Shen turned his head to look at Booji, his voice calm and firm, "Booji, I want to take a gamble." ”

Boogie laughed, "Just do what you want." ”

With his intelligence, how could he lose his bet?

……

The next morning, Emperor Chen was overjoyed and announced to his ministers the news that General Yuan Kai was about to return.

Even though Luo Qi had already known about it, he was still excited for a moment when he heard the news at this moment.

Yuan Kai came back, does that mean that what happened in the Battle of Duckweed that year is obvious?

Mo Shen noticed that the woman's hanging fingertips trembled slightly, and he silently withdrew his gaze.

It seems that Yuan Kai's return to the dynasty is very important to her.

Yuan Kai is now a general guarding Chen Qi's border, and his status is naturally not low.

He does have too many secrets hidden in him, so when he returns this time, he must not be able to hide these secrets.

He had to meet him before they did.
