This morning, Zhao Hanyan and the little slave brought breakfast to Zhang Xiang together.

At this time, Zhang Xiang had just finished practicing and was sitting in the courtyard rubbing his forehead, and it was Zhao Hanyan who called him before he reacted.

Zhao Hanyan asked the little slave to put down the breakfast, then sat beside him, and said softly: "Why is the horse here in the morning? ”

Seeing her concerned expression, Zhang Xiang shook his head and hurriedly said, "It's okay, why is the princess here." ”

Zhao Hanyan said slowly: "I heard the little slave say that the horse was worried after returning from a trip to the city with Yang Gongzi yesterday, Gao Ping was worried, so let's take a look, is it infected with wind and cold out of the city?" ”

As he spoke, Zhao Hanyan also stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Xiang's forehead.

Zhang Xiang smiled and hurriedly found an excuse to prevaricate: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to do the next business, the little slave made a big fuss, and it alarmed the princess." ”

"What? I can't worry about my own husband? Zhao Hanyan glanced at him, and then said while taking out the breakfast for him: "Things in business have stabilized, with the teaching of the horse, the shopkeeper and Mr. Du are also very fast, they can get started by themselves, the horse doesn't have to worry about business things for a while now, if there is something you don't understand, they will come to you." ”

"That's good." Zhang Xiang laughed dryly while eating breakfast.

He was actually still thinking about yesterday's conversation with Yang Li in his heart.

From yesterday to now, he has been thinking about it, he always feels that the words Yang Li said to him were not casual, but deliberately said, as for the intention, this is what he didn't understand.

It seems that there is something in Yang Li's words, which really gives him a headache.

The little slave has been called out by Zhao Hanyan, and now there are only the two of them in the courtyard.

Zhao Hanyan looked at Zhang Xiang and suddenly said, "Concubine, someone came to the womb a few days ago, does the concubine know?" ”

Zhang Xiang nodded: "The little slave has already told me, it is the person sent by Concubine Cheng." ”

Zhao Hanyan nodded: "The concubine sent someone to visit me." ”

"That's good." Zhang Xiang nodded understandingly.

The mother misses her daughter, and it is normal to send someone to take a look, in Bianjing before, even if Zhao Hanyan lives in the princess's mansion, she can enter the palace to visit her mother at any time, after all, she is the emperor's favored daughter, although it is not easy for Concubine Cheng to see her, but she wants to see her mother, and the queen will not stop her.

But now that they have come to Pingzhou, it is not easy for the two mothers and daughters to see each other, and they can only send people.

If you want to say goodbye, only Zhao Hanyan will have a chance to return to Bianjing and enter the palace.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiang will sympathize with her.

Although she has worked hard to be very strong on the surface, she must miss the word mother very much when she mentions the word concubine.

After all, she is not yet a twenty-year-old girl.

Zhang Xiang wanted to say that he had time to accompany her back to the capital to have a look, but after thinking about it, he still dispelled this idea.

At least now is not the time to enter Beijing.

"The person sent by my mother was my nurse when I was a child." Zhao Hanyan continued.

Zhang Xiang nodded again and didn't speak, this is good, so it looks kind.

"The nurse still asked me..."Zhao Hanyan said again, but quickly shut up again, just glanced at him, and then turned his head at Zhang Xiang's gaze.

Zhang Xiang was puzzled: "What do you ask the princess?" ”

"Nothing." Zhao Hanyan hurriedly shook his head, revealing a little daughter-like shyness, which made Zhang Xiang look a little stunned.

Soon, Zhao Hanyan returned to normal and said, "The weather is getting colder, and the horse lives alone in the east room, is it cold?" ”

"It's not cold!" Zhang Xiang replied naturally, and said with a smile: "Isn't the charcoal fire in the Horse Mansion already ready!" At night, there is a charcoal fire, which is not cold at all, but warm! ”

"Then Gao Ping will be relieved." Zhao Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiang also asked, "What about the princess?" It's not cold over there in the west room, is it? ”

Zhao Hanyan shook his head: "It's smaller over there than yours, and there is also a charcoal fire, which is also warm." ”

"That's good!" Zhang Xiang also nodded reassuringly.

I don't know why, in the face of his princess wife, although Zhang Xiang feels that the relationship between the two is very harmonious now, with such a long time together, Zhang Xiang admits in his heart that he already has feelings for her, and after getting along for such a long time, it is a piece of iron that should melt, let alone him.

He also felt that the princess's attitude towards him was becoming more and more like a wife, after all, he was now managing the affairs of the Horse Mansion, and Zhao Hanyan was obedient to any of his suggestions, and he didn't even have any skepticism.

The tone of conversation with him is also becoming more and more gentle, not as cold as before, and the words are full of concern.

Every time he heard Zhao Hanyan say something like 'his husband', his heart was also very warm.

But he still felt that there was an indescribable estrangement between the two, and he was also confused about what it was.

Maybe it's because of Zhao Hanyan's first impression on him, Zhao Hanyan's first impression on him is that kind of goddess who is high up and cannot be blasphemed, out of the mud without staining, strong expression, cold tone, and noble princess status, so he doesn't dare to have the slightest thought about Zhao Hanyan.

From the first time they met, Zhao Hanyan said the condition of 'respecting each other like guests', until now, Zhang Xiang didn't dare to have the slightest deviant behavior towards her in his heart, even if it was an idea, he had always been behaving in a proper manner, and he was his own cheap colt.

Therefore, even if the two of them are different from before, Zhang Xiang still doesn't dare to do anything to her in his heart.

Even if he felt that even if he hugged Zhao Hanyan and kissed him now, Zhao Hanyan would not object, but deep down he didn't dare, at least before Zhao Hanyan took the initiative to speak, he wouldn't dare.

The two sat quietly like this, and soon fell into an embarrassing atmosphere, seeing that Zhao Hanyan didn't know what to think, Zhang Xiang hurriedly got up after eating breakfast and said, "I'll send the princess back!" I'm going to go to Mingsha later, and there should be news about some things. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Hanyan asked instinctively as he got up.

Zhang Xiang gave her a mysterious smile: "I'll tell the princess when I come back, okay!" ”

Zhao Hanyan nodded lightly: "I'll ask the little slave to prepare a car for you." ”

After sending Zhao Hanyan back to the west room, Zhang Xiang got into a carriage and rushed to the Ming Society.

When the money shopkeeper came back last night, he told him some important news collected during this time, and he asked the money shopkeeper and Li Yanzhi to keep it secret, except for the bag inquiry and the money shopkeeper who collected the news, and Li Yanzhi who sorted out the news, no one was allowed to know, and before he made a decision, he could not casually rub it in the newspaper.

After coming to the Ming Society, he quickly found Li Yanzhi, and then walked into a small office he had prepared for himself.

Li Yanzhi quickly sorted out these records, and took out all the news that had not yet been rubbed.

Zhang Xiang began to look at them one by one, and Li Yanzhi also said on the side: "Don Ma, these news are all news that I have sorted out and may be about those assassins, as expected by the donkey, although these assassins are well hidden, but there are still people in Pingzhou City who have seen them, at least they have to eat, drink, and sometimes act and so on, I asked the bag in charge of these news to inquire about the streets and alleys to investigate, and finally collected these." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded hurriedly while watching, these news are also simple to say, one is September 17, in a certain alley, a small people saw a young man dragging a cart of cabbage, a thief head and a thief into a house, so, this small people were curious, so they sneaked over to take a look, and was beaten out by a tall man, with a bearded face, and then this bag inquired and met this beaten small people, and the small people hated to tell what they saw and heard.

On September 24, there were three strong men at the west gate of the city into the city, and for some reason there was a conflict with the soldiers defending the city, and then someone reported to the official, and the three strong men fled in a hurry, and then on September 27, someone saw these three strong men in a remote farm yard in the city.

There is another one earlier, August 19, it is almost two months from now, when the Mid-Autumn Festival is only a few days later, there is a masked woman who went to a pharmacy to grab medicine, and the catch is all internal injury medicine, because the woman has no money, the shopkeeper will not let her go, the woman is angry and injured the shopkeeper, and then took the medicine and left in a hurry.

On the night of the first day of October, in Liuxiang in the south of the city, the watchman saw someone flying over the roof.

There are as many as a dozen pieces of bizarre news like this, all of which seem to be just ordinary and normal folk trivialities, and ordinary people don't care about them at all, but Zhang Xiang is not difficult to be sure that many of these messages are related to Shi Guangshun's group of assassins.

He had already determined that the assassins were not only Shi Guangshun, Guan Sheng, Du Erniang and Qingzhou Xiaobawang He Sinan, these four people were only on assassination mission, and the people in charge of intelligence tasks had not yet been found out.

After spending half an hour figuring out the news, Zhang Xiang closed his eyes and tapped the table with one hand, falling into deep thought.

Li Yanzhi on the side didn't speak, and quietly went out to do things.

After a while, Zhang Xiang called Li Yanzhi in again and asked, "When will Chen Qi come back?" ”

Li Yanzhi hurriedly said: "It should be soon." ”

"He's back, let him come to see me..."Zhang Xiang commanded, then began to take out a pen and paper and began to write...
