Chu Zizhan got out of the carriage, and the middle-aged man hurriedly ran forward, with a very respectful attitude, and said to Chu Zizhan: "I have seen the eldest prince." ”

Chu Zizhan glanced at the middle-aged man, he had seen this middle-aged man, and he also knew that this middle-aged man was Shang Luoyan's big butler, and he was very respected and trusted by Shang Luoyan.

"Lord Shang is here?"

Chu Zizhan saw that it was not Shang Luoyan who greeted him, although his face did not change, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, after all, his identity as a great prince was still there, and it was a housekeeper who greeted him.

"My lord went out last night, and he hasn't come back yet, so I'll send someone to find my lord, and the eldest prince will go to the house to rest and rest."

Chu Zizhan heard the middle-aged man say that Shang Luoyan didn't return home last night, so he thought of the matter about Shang Luoyan mentioned in a piece of information given to him by the secret agent before, that is, the mansion somewhere on East Street, which was his private concubine, but because of his fierce wife at home, he didn't dare to take it home, so he had to go to the tryst during the day on weekdays, and this thing of not returning home at night seemed to be the first time.

Chu Zizhan thought of this, and smiled tacitly, after all, there are concubines privately raised by nobles on West Street in Kyoto Prefecture, and it is not surprising that illegitimate children and the like are all small things in the circle that are "not enough for outsiders", so Chu Zizhan understands Shang Luoyan very well.

"Lord Shang doesn't go home at night······" Chu Zizhan just took two steps, seemed to think of something, couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth, and then asked casually, "Didn't Mrs. Shang let people go to Lord Shang?" ”

Shang Luoyan's fierce wife is also well-known in the court, and every time she mentions it, she will attract a burst of smacking, and she can't help but feel that the other party's wife is abnormal, and at the same time sympathize with Shang Luoyan's dire situation.

When the middle-aged man heard Chu Zizhan ask, he couldn't help but pause at his feet, he naturally knew what the eldest prince was asking, the reputation of their family for being afraid of his wife had spread throughout the court, and even those civilians on East Street would use this time as a talking point after tea and dinner, what Lord Shang was beaten and scolded by that fierce wife a few times today, and that fierce wife set up a few house rules for Lord Shang, how long does it take for Lord Shang to enter the bedroom to sleep tonight (punished by the fierce wife, not allowed to sleep in the house) and so on, The list goes on.

"Forehead······ During the day yesterday, my wife went back to her mother's house in Hezhou, and it is estimated that she will have to walk for more than a month to come back. ”

All the mysteries have been solved, Chu Zizhan also suddenly realized, and said secretly in his heart: "No wonder this lord of the Black Armor Guard dares not to return at night, the wife of his family is not there." ”

Chu Zizhan nodded casually, as if he didn't care about the matter, and then continued to walk inside.

Shang Luoyan's study is very large, and when you enter the door, there is an eight-treasure pavilion, on which are placed treasures that I don't know where to get them, one by one there seem to be trying to show their dignity, inside is Shang Luoyan's table, there is a stack of folds on one side of the table, I don't know what is recorded in it, Chu Zizhan walked over, and flipped through the books on it very casually, almost all of the records in it are trivial matters presented by the black armor guard, and there is no important information.

Chu Zizhan thought in his heart, if there is important information, then it can't be put here so grandly.

When Shang Luoyan came in, Chu Zizhan was playing with the treasures on it in the Eight Treasure Pavilion.

"I've seen the eldest prince." Shang Luoyan came back in a hurry, and when he saw Chu Zizhan, he was panting heavily.

The door was pushed open, and the cold wind blew in, Chu Zizhan glanced back at Shang Luoyan who was standing with his hands over, and said with a smile: "Lord Shang is having fun?" ”

Shang Luoyan smiled, knowing that the eldest prince already knew that he didn't come back last night, so he had no choice but to say, "The eldest prince laughed. ”

Chu Zizhan put the treasure in the Eight Treasure Pavilion in his hand back into place, and then looked at Shang Luoyan in front of him, the forty-year-old Shang Luoyan has maintained an excellent figure because of his perennial martial arts practice, and his eyes are also very bright, and the neat bun on his head is tied to the top of his head by a figurative hairpin, and he is wearing a Su embroidered green clothes, which adds a bit of brilliance.

The strength of this black armor guard is already a high-level martial artist, and it is rumored that he is almost one step into the ranks of great martial artists, and some jokers say that the last step of Lord Shang and the great martial artist is the fierce woman of his own family.

Of course, this is just a joke, and no one will take it seriously, but this Shang Luoyan's strength is amazing, and Chu Zizhan also appreciates it very much.

Chu Zizhan knew that the purpose of his father and emperor handing over the black armor guard to him back then was to balance the power between himself and the crown prince, so Chu Zizhan didn't dare to ask for the matter of whether Shang Luoyan was sincere to him, as long as the other party didn't stumble on himself at a critical moment, and after the effect of many previous cooperation, this Shang Luoyan was not a person who stumbled on himself, because he would only be loyal to the Chu State, not the exclusive force of a certain force.

Based on this, Chu Zizhan was very relieved about Shang Luoyan, after all, he was nominally a boss of the other party.

"I don't know what happened to the eldest prince coming to the mansion?" Shang Luoyan saw that Chu Zizhan didn't speak, so he had no choice but to break the situation by himself.

"Lord Shang, please order a team of black-armored guards and do something with this prince."

Shang Luoyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't move, but asked cautiously, "I don't know if it's the matter of the eldest prince or the matter of the Chu State?" ”

For Shang Luoyan, although three years ago, he and the black armor guard were both transferred to the eldest prince, but Shang Luoyan knew that he was just a weight for His Majesty to balance the struggle between the two princes, so he did not have too many constraints on doing things, and still adhered to his own actions for the concept of the Chu State.

And this time it was a little different, he didn't get any news, Chu Zizhan was going to mobilize the black armor guard, so Shang Luoyan had the question just now.

Chu Zizhan smiled bitterly in his heart, and said secretly: "Sure enough, it's still like that." ”

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to cough softly, and then looked at Shang Luoyan in front of him with a serious face, and said, "Father's dictation!" ”

Hearing these words, Shang Luoyan immediately knelt on the ground, and then looked very respectful, waiting for Chu Zizhan to read out the message.

Chu Zizhan told Shang Luoyan what Hou Sizheng had just said to him, and then quietly looked at Shang Luoyan who was kneeling on the ground.

"This operation depends a lot on Lord Shang."
