Shao Yi and Feng Luotang arrived at Jingming Palace just at the right time. Most of the fire candles in Jingming Palace have been extinguished, the night is quiet, and the moon and stars are scarce.

They walked through the carved and jade cloister, and the clear moonlight shining on the smooth stone walls was reassuringly soft.

The two of them didn't make any footsteps, and quickly walked towards the room agreed by Lin Yu in the side hall, and the figure projected on the wall also moved quietly.

Suddenly, there was a "creaking" sound of the door shaft in the distance. The sound is not loud, but it is unusually clear in the stillness of the night.

Feng Luotang grabbed Shao Yi's cuffs. Shao Yi gently stopped Feng Luotang with his hand, and pressed the two of them against the wall, hiding in the shadows.

Together, they looked towards the place where the sound had come from.

A small door opened softly, and a white figure floated in silently.

Feng Luotang didn't make a sound, but only said to Shao Yi with his mouth: "Who? Ghosts? ”

Shao Yi replied with his mouth: "People." Don't be afraid. Check it out. ”

Feng Luotang gently tugged on Shao Yi's back again, but Shao Yi still resolutely touched the small door quietly. Feng Luotang had no choice but to follow.

The little door was not closed. Shao Yi used his index finger to push the crack of the door a little harder.

It was a small cabin. The furnishings in the house are not complicated, only a bed and some cabinets and desks.

Moonlight from the window shone on the bed. Feng Luotang and Shao Yi saw two children about four or five years old sleeping sweetly.

Two children were covered with the same brocade quilt, a boy and a girl. The little girl seemed to be dreaming, her long eyelashes fluttering gently as her eyeballs moved under her eyelids. And the boy slept soundly. He let out a low snoring with his small mouth open.

In front of their bed stood a white figure. The figure looked cold and quiet in the moonlight. He slowly leaned down and stretched out his hand.

Feng Luotang was so nervous that he stopped breathing and shook Shao Yi's arm vigorously. She was so worried that such a good-looking two little dolls wouldn't hurt anyone.

Seeing that Shao Yi didn't move, Feng Luotang pushed the door forward and was about to enter, but Shao Yi stopped her by the side and stopped her with his eyes. Shao Yi said silently: "It's Gongzi Jia." ”

Then they saw that the man had just covered the two children with a brocade quilt. Then sit lightly cross-legged on the edge of the couch.

Childe Jia had another sleepless night tonight.

The chaotic and clueless situation in the DPRK and China gave him some headaches. He had wanted to walk around the courtyard, but when he passed by this room, he pushed the door open and entered.

He remembered that he had arranged for Fanqiu's two children to live here. The two little milk dolls look like their mothers, and they look delicate and cute.

Childe Jia looked at their quiet sleeping faces and sighed imperceptibly.

It was also around this age that he lost his mother. And his father was already the father of other children at that time. He knows what it is like to be without parents.

Growing up like that was really lonely and sad.

The children have been arranged to read and write. He didn't want them to be like he was when he was a kid because they didn't have parents.

He looked at the pink faces of the two children and came back to his senses. The moonlight made Childe Jia's warm face a little pale.

After half a burnt incense, he stood up, left quietly, and walked away with the door, as if he had never come.

A few steps away, Shao Yi and Feng Luotang looked at each other.

Such a childe Jia is a stranger to them. It was the first time they saw Gongzi Jia, who had taken off the reserve and pride of his noble son, and was as simple and soft-hearted as an ordinary young man.

As soon as Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen saw Shao Yi and Feng Luotang, they immediately asked about the battle of Li Mu's army. Although the good news had already reached Wangcheng, all kinds of details still made them itch.

Feng Luotang spoke vividly, with taste and eyebrows dancing in the vernacular for a while, and finally finished telling the story before and after.

Then she took a sip of the water handed over by Long Xuanchen and added, "We have exceeded the task this time. It's definitely more than we expected at 50,000. But how to settle this group of people? We'll have to plan it well. ”

"That's not in a hurry. It will also take some time for them to slowly get used to Hanhaizhou. Lin Yu said calmly.

"War Trauma Syndrome." Shao Yi added next to him.

Then Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen also talked about Guo Kai's promise to Gongzi Jiada's treasurer as a political quid pro quo.

"What is the Grand Treasurer?" Feng Luotang asked ignorantly.

"Probably the Minister of Finance." Shao Yi explained.

"Ahh In that case, is it all about military spending or something, and he has the final say? Feng Luotang asked again.

"It can be regarded as having the main right to speak, but in the end, it has to be approved by King Zhao." Long Xuanchen said: "But if Gongzi Jia can influence military salaries, money and food, it is still more meaningful." Looking at this meaning, the ministers in the court, especially some old ministers, still mainly support Gongzi Jia. ”

"That's a lot of money!" Feng Luotang did not grasp the consciousness of the point. She gently tapped her finger on her chin, and after a few clicks, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "There are so many riches that are really important to us. ”

"Look, in fact, if you want to incorporate all the soldiers of Hanhai Continent into the Dragon Clan in the future, you will need a lot of money! What do you have to eat, train, buy equipment, and fight without money? ”

Feng Luotang's eyes began to look around: "If we can move back some ......"

Shao Yi said, "What do you mean? ”

"It's like, look." Feng Luotang picked up an inkstone on the table. "Any thing, it's a 2,000-year-old antique. Is it worth the money, you say? ”

"Wait, I seem to see what you mean. What is just a daily use for them, if we put it together, bury it in the ground, and then take it out two thousand years later, it will be a lot of wealth. Long Xuanchen said.

"Brother Hei has mastered the point!" Feng Luotang patted Long Xuanchen's shoulder as a senior.

Lin Yu calculated the enforceability of this matter in his mind, and then said, "That's right, it takes a lot of money to build Hanhaizhou. We'll have to find a way to bury something that can't rot and go back to cash in. ”

Feng Luotang interjected again: "In this way, we have to give Gongzi Jia an idea and take down this big treasurer." This guy has a good brain. If we can use it in this regard, then we really have a 'way to make money'. ”

"Alright, let's get down to business." Lin Yu looked at the topic and was taken a little far away by Feng Luotang, "The top priority now is to figure out the layout of Yangdu Pavilion in Handan City, this line, Shao Yi and Luo Tang will follow; The other one is that I and Xuan Chen discovered this. ”

He held up a candle and led a few people to the bookcase, from which he pulled out a bookcase. Inside the bookcase was an ancient, yellowed parchment.

"This is an ancient map, which was found in the engagement gift that Guo Kai gave to Gongzi Jia. Maybe because of the ancient characters on it, it was just given as an ordinary collectible. “

Lin Yu carefully unfolded the parchment scroll and said, "You see, I don't know the ancient characters on this, but here," he pointed to the diagonal bottom of the picture, "These two words are not ancient characters, they are clearly the words 'Xingyu'." ”

Feng Luotang grabbed it and took a look. This thing about the "rain order" is the matter of Feng Luotang Xinglong's family, and she can't help but pay attention.

Shao Yi hurriedly stopped and said, "The thing is too old, don't tear it up." ”

Feng Luotang waved his hand impatiently, but he still took it carefully and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, there was the word "Xingyu" in the picture.

"I analyzed, there should be half of this picture, and it was obviously torn apart." Lin Yu pointed to the jagged edge on the right side of the parchment roll, "Maybe the remaining half is still in Guo Kai's mansion." ”

Lin Yu touched the bookcase again and said, "And this box should also be a pair." ”

"How do you see that?" Feng Luotang and Shao Yi asked almost at the same time.

"You see, the phoenix carved on this box is actually just a phoenix. The phoenix is a female bird with no head crown and two tails; Whereas, the phoenix is a male bird with a crown and three tails. How is it possible to carve only female birds here? ”

"Brother Yu, you even know this?! Brother Yu is so good! Stars appeared in Feng Luotang's eyes again, and he affirmed himself in his heart: "We are scumbags, but we see the sages and think together, and worship the scholars!" ”

"So......" Long Xuanchen stared at Lin Yu: "Brother Yu called us to ......"

"I guessed it again, of course it's a night visit to Guo's mansion!" After Lin Yu finished speaking, he turned out several sets of elastic night clothes, and even the kind of hood that only exposed his eyes and mouth, obviously he came prepared.

Several people hurriedly changed their clothes, and took advantage of the darkest midnight to easily climb out of the wooden window and quietly drift away.

The four of them had just left when the door slammed open. In the flickering candlelight that had not yet been extinguished, a white figure stood outside the door.

Childe Jia stood upright in the doorway, his eyes moving slightly, and something flashed in his deep eyes.

Several times he tried to push the door open, asking aloud, "Who are you?" ”

But he didn't. It wasn't until he was sure that the people in the house were gone that he couldn't help but push the door open.

He'd been listening outside the door for a while. He heard their discussions about the details of the Battle of Hixia and the Grand Treasurer, heard about "two thousand years", heard about "Hanhaizhou", and heard about "Rain Order".

His heart was in turmoil.

He didn't expect that Shao Yizhi, Gongsun Zhi and Long Chen, who were born and died with him, and Li Luotang, who was about to become a couple, were no longer the same as they once were.

In fact, he had already noticed some strange changes, such as Li Luotang's eyes, such as General Long's bravery when he charged, and Gongsun Zhi's wit.

Childe Jia had an impulse at this time. This urge of his gathered into an emotion that could not be exploded in his chest.

He thought about seventeen years of losing and never protecting what he wanted. His childhood, his mother, his crown prince, were all easily taken away by others.

Is that now he going to lose his cronies, friends and Li Luotang again?

Gongzijia didn't want to think about it anymore, and when he slammed the door open, he had already thought about everything.

No matter who they are, what they want to do, and what kind of future they will have, he wants them to stay with him sincerely and help him to regain possible victories together.

In this way, he must stand up in front of them and truly be a gentleman.

Because of his good looks, Fan Qiu was assigned to the main house to serve the master of the Qiu family.

When she first arrived at Qiu's house, she was cautious in her words and deeds, for fear that she would accidentally expose something.

The Qiu family has a total of three young masters. The eldest young master is doing business in other places. The second young master threw his pen from Rong, and it is said that he was fighting with General Zhao Cong. Only the third young master, Qiu Di'an, is in charge of the family's business in Handan.

Qiu Di'an goes out early and returns late every day, and never wanders around the yard.

On this day, it was getting late, Fan Qiu raised his eyes to look at the rising crescent moon and gently rubbed his wrist.

After a busy day, washing and scrubbing, although she was tired, she sometimes felt that if life could be so peaceful, she was willing to live like this forever.

However, at this time, there was a noise in the front yard, and the third young master came back.

The servants followed left and right and entered the courtyard of the main room, Qiu Di'an raised his eyes to look at Fan Qiu who was standing in the corner of the courtyard, and suddenly said, "You bring a cup of tea to my room." ”

The third young master has always been very casual in the Qiu family. So the rest of the people didn't care.

But it may be that the young master looks at Fan Qiu with a bit of a look. I heard that there were some rumors in Fat City. It seems that those rumors are not true.

Fan Qiu walked towards the third young master's house with the tray. Although she is now a spy, she definitely has no consciousness of guarding herself, but she doesn't want to provoke anything at this time.

She walked into the house. The candles in the house are bright.

Qiu Dian was reading with a book by the candle flame, and when she came in, he didn't make a sound, until she approached to put down the teacup, and suddenly grabbed her wrist with a "bang", flipped back, twisted her arm to the back of her waist, and then violently pulled Fan Qiu's whole person into his chest.

Fan Qiu was about to scream loudly, but Qiu Di'an's other hand had already tightly covered her mouth.

Qiu Di'an leaned his head up and pressed it close to her neck. A hot breath crashed into it.

Fan Qiu was so nervous that he was about to shout out, but he heard him say: "In the past, I was in the past, the willows were still in the past, and now I am thinking about it, and the rain and snow are falling." ”

Fan Qiu was shocked and froze on the spot. The great horror choked the call she was about to blurt out, and she couldn't make a sound.

Qiu Di'an immediately let go of his hand. Fan Qiu knelt on the ground, put his face on the ground, and said in a trembling whisper: "See the city lord." ”

Qiu Dian waved his hand and said, "I'm not a city lord. I'm just a hundred-hundred-hundred Since you have returned to the Resurrection Pavilion today, I will give you the first task in Handan City. ”

The identity of Qiu Di'an Yangdu Pavilion has never been known. He had been observing Fan Qiu for many days.

This woman's beauty is commensurate with her identity as a spy. The kind of intelligence and patience in her eyes made Qiu Dian admire it very much.

"At this time, it is the time to employ people in the cabinet. The Pavilion Master has already sent a letter. Saying that, Qiu Di'an sat back behind the desk: "I order you to send a top item of goods to Guo Xiangye of Guo Mansion." You can also stay and take care of the goods if you need to. ”

Fan Qiu kowtowed, received the task, and went back to the house to rest.

On the second day, a carriage stopped outside the corner gate. Fanqiu freshened up and stopped, and walked towards the carriage. When I got into the carriage, I was surprised to find that the cargo turned out to be a person.

A delicate and beautiful girl who is only eleven or twelve years old.

The girl's eyebrows were like green daisy, her eyes were like autumn water, her lips were red like cherry blossoms, and her skin was as white as snow. She wore a thin silk jacket embroidered all over her body, which looked like delicate flowers waiting to bloom, and for a time filled the narrow carriage of the carriage with fragrance.

The little girl lowered her long eyelashes, knelt down and bowed, and whispered, "Sister Lao will send you off." The little girl Ah Mei thanked her sister. ”

Fan Qiu hurriedly returned the salute: "Miss Ah Mei is serious. Fan Qiu is willing to be sent. ”

The beautiful girl's eyes fluttered, she stopped talking, glanced faintly out of the window of the carriage, and sighed softly.
