"Baiyun Temple? Are you saying that my father-in-law sent someone to bring a message to ask me to go to Baiyun Temple outside the city, and said that there was something important to discuss? For such a familiar but unfamiliar place name, Zhang Shou in the public school only felt a little inexplicable.

Familiar because Baiyun Temple is also a very famous Taoist place in later generations, of course, this name has both likes and dislikes. And the strangeness is because he hasn't been to that place since he arrived in the capital, after all, he has too little time to be idle. Of course, the most important thing is not familiar or unfamiliar, but ......

There are a lot of people in Zhao Guogong's Mansion, Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang have always stood firmly on his side, Zhu Er has long been cleaned up by him, and now Zhu Ying's two sisters-in-law who have entered the door are also quite kind to him, and the ones who are the least suitable for him are Zhu Jing and Zhu Tingfang's father and son. Zhu Jing generally doesn't specifically name him to see him, and when he sees him, he can go to Baiyun Temple in the Zhaoguo Mansion?

Seeing that Zhang Shou was obviously hesitating, as if he was questioning whether this matter was famous, and was informed by the outer concierge, Ah Liu, who came in personally to deliver the message, took the initiative to ask: "Young master, do you want me to go to Zhao Guogong's Mansion first and ask?" ”

If it was usual, when his father-in-law made an appointment, Zhang Shou would not refuse, but now the situation is different, he always feels that these things have been menacing recently, but there is something strange. After thinking about it, he finally nodded. And the boy went fast and came back very quickly, and when Zhang Shou finished another class in Jiuzhang Hall, Ah Liu appeared in front of him again.

"Zhao Guogong is not at home, and the young grandmother told me that he sent someone to deliver a message home, and he has important matters to deal with in the past two days, so he will not come back for the time being." When he said this, Ah Liu's face was also a little suspicious, "I went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War again to ask, saying that after the morning of this morning, Zhao Guogong went to the palace first, and then went to Lin Shangshu's Mansion to offer condolences, and then went out of the city, only carrying a letter of leave." ”

"Then I went to Lin Mansion again, because there were a lot of people who mourned, so I sneaked in, and heard people talking about Zhao Guogong coming, so many people followed, all of them were people who tended to be inflammatory. Some people also said that Zhao Guogong came today by car instead of on horseback, and brought a lot of entourage. ”

Speaking of this in one breath, Ah Liu saw Zhang Shou raise his thumb, as if he was praising his meticulousness, but he was not happy because of this, but was more solemn: "Then I went to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhao Guogong and his party, and someone saw that their group did go out of the city. However, after Zhao Guogong got into the car in front of the Lin Mansion, he stayed on that street for a while before leaving. ”

Although Zhang Shou is not very familiar with Zhu Jing, he already feels that this is obviously different from Zhu Jing's past style as far as Ah Liu said. Get in the carriage but don't go...... Isn't it because there are others in the carriage?

Therefore, when he heard Ah Liu say, people specially went to the palace again, and confirmed that Zhu Jing came out of Qingning Palace today before going to the Lin Mansion to mourn, and then went to the Zhao Guogong Mansion for the second time to verify, and found out that Zhu Jing only brought eight entourages when he went out today, and the eight people obviously couldn't put on what the people of the Lin Mansion said, and the posture of the guards calling forward and hugging back, he pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision immediately.

"You go with me to meet Yingying, something is wrong, I want to discuss it with her."

Because all the women are used from top to bottom in the women's school, although Zhang Shou came to pick up Zhu Ying a few times, he was always at the gate. At this time, he hurried to the door with Ah Liu, and waited in front of the door after being announced, but he didn't expect that after a while, he happened to meet Princess Yongping head-on.

He and this golden branch and jade leaf have known each other for a long time, but their personalities are incompatible, so they don't have much intersection, at this time, they just turned sideways and bowed. But Princess Yongping did not bow her head slightly as usual to ordinary officials, but stopped beside him: "Bachelor Zhang is here to pick up Supervisor Zhu?" ”

Although Zhu Ying often jokingly called herself the superintendent of the female school, in fact, the emperor asked people to engrave two seals, Princess Yongping was the superintendent of the mountain, and Zhu Ying was the superintendent and inspector, but the head Zhang Shou did not deliberately remember it at all, so Princess Yongping used the three words Zhu Jianxue to refer to Zhu Ying so seriously, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before reacting.

And immediately after, Zhang Shou didn't care about such a title, but asked in a deep voice: "Why, Yingying is not here?" ”

Princess Yongping saw that Zhang Shou showed a little anxious emotion in this short sentence, she couldn't help but wonder a little, and then said: "The queen mother in the palace sent someone to see Yingying, because the person came suddenly, and he was picked up at the side door, so the porter at the main gate didn't know, so I just reported it, I just went back to the palace, just tell Master Zhang you." ”

"The Queen Mother again?" Subconsciously burst out these four words, Zhang Shou couldn't care about Princess Yongping's subtle expression at this time, and immediately turned to Ah Liu and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Nancheng Terracotta Division first!" ”

Realizing that Zhang Shou was actually planning to see Zhu Tingfang, Princess Yongping suddenly came to her senses, I am afraid that something will happen. She wanted to ask, but seeing that Zhang Shou was walking fast with Ah Liu, she thought about it again, and finally decided that instead of chasing after her, it was better to go back to the palace immediately and go to the Empress Dowager of Qingning Palace to find out what was going on.

One word and one word, isn't something wrong again?

However, Zhang Shou did not hope that Princess Yongping would have any gains at all. Especially when he came to the Nancheng Terracotta Division, he finally learned that when Zhu Tingfang went out about an hour ago, he was already vaguely suspicious before, and he finally completely determined that his trip to Baiyun Temple was probably necessary.

Because the Baiyunguan appointment message brought by Ah Liu before was not set, he did not go out of the city immediately, but first rushed back to Zhangyuan with Ah Liu, and after taking a box, the master and servant went out of the Xibianmen non-stop and went straight to the Baiyun Temple in the west.

It was already dusk when Zhang Shou took Ah Liu to the girls' school before, and when he arrived at Baiyun Temple, it was already completely dark. In Zhang Yuan, he hurriedly stuffed two pieces of dim sum to pad his hunger, and poured another pass of water, at this time Zhang Shou was not hungry in his belly, but the anger in his heart was quite intense.

At this time, the Baiyun Temple was quiet, and the tall gatehouse stood majestically, as if it was an ordinary Fangwai Taoist Temple, but he could hear the voice of Ah Liu's reminder behind him, but he knew that it was just an illusion. Because Ah Liuzheng, whose ears are as sharp as his eyesight, tells him softly that where people are hidden, where people are watching, just like his other pair of eyes and ears.

Although this place is like a tiger's den in Longtan, waiting for someone to throw himself into the net, he still strode through the gatehouse without hesitation. As a young acquaintance appeared like a ghost, and bowed deeply and respectfully, he asked in a deep voice, "Where is my father-in-law?" ”

Zhang Shou didn't ask if Zhu Ying and Zhu Tingfang were also here, and the Zhike Taoist obviously didn't mean to ask or answer, and the person didn't even say a word, just bent down and saluted again, and then turned around and led the way.

Zhang Shou, who followed closely, tried to calm his mind, and soon, in this extremely quiet environment, he captured the breathing sound of the person in front of him, but the breathing and footsteps of Ah Liu behind him seemed to have completely disappeared, so that he couldn't help but suddenly turn his head to look back, and then his pupils immediately shrank.

There is not even a ghost shadow behind him, Ah Liu is gone!

However, it was only a moment of surprise, Zhang Shou turned his head and calmly continued to follow the Zhike Taoist in front of him. Ah Liu has followed him for so many years, and there is absolutely no one in the world who wants to put the boy down silently, so it is more likely that this kid took advantage of the unpreparedness and quietly sneaked into a place in the night.

Although this is also very dangerous, he has made corresponding preparations before coming, no matter whether Princess Yongping does something after returning to the palace, others can also carry out the corresponding arrangements to the end, so although he has apprehension in his heart, he definitely can't say that he is too afraid.

After all, although he made a lot of enemies after entering Beijing, the enemies who wanted to put him to death and then quickly were undoubtedly the three people who were abolished and the eldest prince and the second prince, mother and son, and now they have all died cleanly, as for the rest such as Jiang Ge Lao and the like, he can't use such means to retaliate against him.

Therefore, in such a situation at this time, even if he uses the elimination method, he can roughly narrow down the suspect to a minimum range.

At the moment, the Zhike Taoist didn't seem to know that there was one less of the two people he brought, he stood at the door of a side hall, knocked lightly on the door, and then quietly retreated into the dark shadows on the side, he opened his mouth unceremoniously: "Father-in-law Chu, what do you want to do when you borrow my father-in-law's name to meet me?" ”

But after a while, a voice came from inside: "Zhao Guogong, am I right to you?" Ling's son-in-law was very wary of me, you didn't believe it at the time, but now you listen, as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that I was stirring up the storm behind my back. ”

"You've done it to the point where you can't turn back, if he can't count it as you, then it's not the husband that Yingying will pick among thousands of people." After the other voice paused, he immediately shouted, "Zhang Shou, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, this is not like you!" ”

"Father-in-law, Yingying was invited to leave in the name of the Queen Mother's summons, and Brother Zhu is not in the Nancheng Terracotta Division, although I said that I showed a little bit of my mouth to Princess Yongping, and also arranged for relevant people to do what they should do, but I also had to come and go in person."

After answering like this, Zhang Shou entered the side hall directly, and saw that the lights around him were lit up as if someone was controlling them for a moment, but his face still did not change his face and his heart did not beat, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

In the past, he had seen a lot of bright lights, brilliant fireworks, all kinds of magical magic tricks, and even a skyscraper could make you ...... What's such a small trick? Therefore, at the first moment of the firelight, he squinted his eyes slightly to adapt to the change of light and dark, and immediately saw the empty position, as well as Zhu Jing on the lower right.

As for Chu Kuan, the person was standing a little later next to the main seat, just like when he once went to the Qianqing Palace, he saw the person standing behind the emperor.

"Master Zhang, you claim to have grown up in the countryside since you were a child, and you have the talent you have today because of the professors of Mrs. Ge. But this is Old Master Ge who has carried out the doubts that may exist in the outside world for you, although he has lived in that small village for a while, he has not been able to teach you at all. And in the emperor's and his opinion, you are related to some wise men who are proficient in overseas studies, and even they have taught you. ”

However, the suburbs of Beijing are not those fishing villages by the sea, and there are often large and small boats coming from the sea, so ordinary people don't care. Especially in that little village, which is full of people planted by your father-in-law, if there are strangers, it will definitely make a great impression. Even if you use that bamboo forest and bamboo house as a cover, you can't hide it for a lifetime. ”

"Therefore, there are no wise men who are proficient in overseas studies, nor are there any hidden sages in the bamboo forest, and there is no enlightenment after a serious illness...... Some are just miracles like Emperor Taizu Mengtian at the beginning, born to know! ”

Rao is Zhang Shou calculated that behind Chu Kuan's series of actions, he was afraid that he was going to force himself with something, but at this time, the layer of window paper was pierced, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After people crossed over, they changed from nerds, fools, blinds, and waste wood to geniuses, and everyone felt that there was no problem, and it was a matter of course, but when it was his turn, he had been quietly paving the way in Rongshui Village for three years, but he was still targeted by people with intentions.

Speaking of which, it was all the things that Emperor Taizu did back then, which is amazing! Mengtian Emperor Ball Maker Draws Map...... If it weren't for the disappearance at sea, it would really be possible for people to conquer the four seas, and then it would not be the Dream Heavenly Emperor, but the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor!

Chu Kuan's aggressive soul torture was in front, but Zhang Shou had time to think about this completely unrelated matter, naturally not because he was calm or broke the jar, but this kind of completely heartfelt thing, as long as he refused to admit it, could Chu Kuan still take him to slice?

Therefore, he smiled and said angrily: "Born to know, Gonggong Chu, you can't help but think that learning is too simple." I don't bother to refute you, since you insist that I was born to know, then what do you want to do when you detain my father-in-law and ask me to come here? ”

Chu Kuan walked down directly from behind the right position: "Those books in the Ancient and Modern Tongji Library, since Liang Jiucheng has tried you but found nothing, I don't have the confidence to surpass him, and it is useless to test you with those codexes." As for the whereabouts of Emperor Taizu and those subordinates, since the emperor sent people to sail out to the sea to find them, he has persevered for ten years, twenty years, and one hundred and eighty years, and he can always find corresponding clues. ”

"After all, now is not the time for the ball instrument to be shelved in the Ordnance Bureau, and the courtiers don't care that there is still a vast continent in Haidong, and there are those crops in Haidong that are completely different from the Ming Dynasty as evidence, and they can't turn a blind eye and listen to it.

"However, in the early years of Emperor Taizu, he fought in the south and the north, and won many battles, not only because he trained his troops and returned to his heart, but also because he recruited skilled craftsmen and made a batch of invincible weapons according to the drawings he drawn, so from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ordnance Bureau was the top priority."

And these drawings, because of the relationship between a certain idiot before Weinan Bo Zhang Kang, have not been taken out for several years to dry and copy, so that they are so damaged that they are almost unrecognizable. And because each craftsman had only one or two parts, the assembler died...... For so many years, the Ordnance Bureau has tried its best, and there is still a small half that cannot be manufactured. Mr. Zhang, if you were born to know, don't you feel that you have an unshirkable responsibility? ”
