From this point of view, Dou Yin and Cao Zixiao have a very good relationship, and since they separated, they will send letters to each other to convey their feelings of longing, so if they don't write, they will definitely cause Zixiao's doubts, but they are in the Eastern Capital, how do you know what happened to the Haijiao faction recently?

In embarrassment, he could only describe what he saw and heard in the Eastern Capital, Dou Yin knew that Zi Xiao didn't like mutton, so he naturally wouldn't patronize the mutton restaurant in the Eastern Capital, so he described the mutton restaurant in detail to prove that he was really accompanying their master out to comprador work, so that he could hide from the world.

As the saying goes, geese have left a voice, and water has left traces, since Dou Yin knows so much about He Ji Mutton Restaurant, then he must have been active in that area, and there will be some clues.

With a decision in his heart, Xiao Chongguang walked towards Qingpingfang.

Eastern Capital, East City, Jingkangfang, Tiweifu, Shen Mo

After receiving the order, Jing Zhaoyin's messengers, under the leadership of the overseer Hao Ran, quickly reported to the Tiwei Mansion, and they gathered in the compound of the Tiwei Mansion, lined up in three lines, and waited for the arrangement of the guard chief.

Lu Yunsheng walked out of the hall and couldn't help frowning slightly as he looked at this group of errand soldiers.

Originally, he thought in his heart that even if Guo Siyuan was reluctant this time, but there were two hundred servants in Jingzhao Mansion, then at least seventy or eighty people would be sent over, but he didn't think about it, but he only sent thirty people, less than one-third of the total.

"This Guo Siyuan is really home."

Lu Yunsheng muttered dissatisfiedly in a voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly, and then slowly walked in front of the officers. Hao Ran, the leader of the team, bowed to Yun Shengcha and said, "Hao Ran, the leader of the team, see Deputy Guard Lu." The deputy guard, under the order of Lord Jingzhao Yin Guo, led the team to come to help, and asked the deputy guard to collect it. ”

That Hao Ran was about thirty years old, tall, strong, majestic, wearing armor, and even more resolute.

Lu Yunsheng smiled and said: "No need, just these people, you can see them all at a glance, and you still need to collect a little?" ”

Hao Ran heard that Yun Sheng had something to say, so he said, "The deputy guard is too small?" If this is the case, the deputy guard can repair a book, and I will give it to Mr. Guo, and I think Mr. Guo will also be sympathetic to the deputy guard and increase the number of people. ”

"No, no, no, Team Hao misunderstood, I can only dispatch if there are fewer people." Lu Yunsheng waved his hand and said, secretly saying in his heart: "If Guo Siyuan really wants to send people, this is the first time he will not only send such a few people." ”

Hao Ran said: "Since this is the case, then ask the deputy guard to arrange a task for us." ”

"Don't worry, you can wait for the time being. In this way, come with me to the back hall first. With that, Lu Yunsheng turned around and went in the direction of the back hall, Hao Ran shouted "Let's go" to the officers, and then followed closely.

Dongdu Dongshi Qingpingfang He Ji Mutton House Shen Mo

"Little two! Let's have a bowl of mutton steamed buns! ”

Xiao Chongguang sat on the wooden bench with his butt on his buttocks, and then greeted loudly.

Compared with other peers, the business of this He Ji mutton restaurant is really too hot, this restaurant can be described as full, full of people, many people know that there is no seat, prepare the lunch box early, and pack it back.

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper, who was still taking care of the other tables, also answered loudly, and then turned around and went into the kitchen.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Xiao?"

Hearing someone shouting about himself, Xiao Chongguang followed the sound and looked back, only to see the owner of the mutton shop in a bearded suit, slowly walking towards him with a smile on his face.

The owner of the shop is named He Xian, about forty years old, originally from Liangzhou, because there are foreign invasions in the Yong and Liang areas, and the military disasters are continuous, so the He family moved to the eastern capital and made a living by running this small restaurant.

Because He Xian's father married Hu people, he inherited half of his mother's bloodline, and was born with blonde hair and white skin, purple hair and blue eyes, and was more than eight feet tall.

"Boss He, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

When Xiao Chongguang first came to Tiwei Mansion, he was still a deputy guard, because there were not enough people at that time, so he had to personally inspect Qingpingfang for a period of time, and every lunch break, he came to He Xian's restaurant to eat, and he became familiar with He Xian, since he became the chief of the guard and entered the real management class, he rarely visited He Ji Mutton Restaurant, not that he was tired of eating, but there were restaurants and snack stalls on the street opposite Tiwei Mansion, so there was no need to go to Qingpingfang so far to eat.

"It's okay, I'm a restaurant owner, but I just rely on my cooking skills to make a living, and my life goes by like this, and there are no other tricks."

He Xian replied with a smile and sat down opposite Xiao Chongguang.

"Ho, if I were you, with such a booming business, I wouldn't have to wake up laughing every day!"

Sogo and He Xian are also old acquaintances, so they don't shy away from quipping.

He Xian smiled and waved his hand and said: "Lord Xiao said that it was funny, how could it be so prosperous every day, isn't it approaching the end of the year now, plus it is freezing on this day, and the nearby residents are not willing to cook at home, so they are lazy and come to the small shop to buy some mutton to eat and warm their bodies." ”

As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper brought up the mutton steamed bun ordered by Xiao Chongguang, Xiao Chongguang rubbed his hands, and first drank a sip of mutton soup with a spoon, the entrance was very rich and smooth, and the meat was fragrant, which made people appetize.

"Authentic! It's still the same smell as before! Xiao Chongguang was full of praise.

He Xian smiled: "That's! How about Lord Xiao, do you want to take two sips today? ”

Xiao Chongguang slowly put down the spoon, and then said, "Next time, there is still official business today, and you can't drink." Actually, I'm here today to ask you something. ”

He Xian nodded: "Just say something." ”

"Are there tall and strong men with tigers on their backs who often haunt this neighborhood these days?"

He Xian smiled: "Lord Xiao, the scope you said is too wide, there are hundreds of strong men in and out of the capital, can you be specific, such as what characteristics there are." ”

After Xiao Chongguang pondered for a moment, he repeated what Lu Yunsheng described that night, and finally added a sentence "It may come from a sect on the rivers and lakes."

After hearing this, He Xianfang patted his thigh and said, "I remembered!" A few days ago, there was indeed a strong man with a sword on his back who came to our restaurant for dinner, and his sword, tsk, tsk, was probably longer than the long bench we had here. When he saw that I had a bearded face and was a little curious, he kept looking at me, so rude. Since then, I have been coming to the restaurant to eat, but I didn't come yesterday and didn't see it today. His clothes are obviously from the martial arts school on the rivers and lakes. Yes! I remember that there was a dragon ornament on it. ”

"That's right." Xiao Chongguang's heart secretly said.

What He Xian described was exactly the same as what Yunsheng said, coupled with the clothes with Jiao patterns, it seems that this assassin must be Dou Yin of the Haijiao Sect!

If this is the case, Dou Yin missed the assassination of Lu Yunsheng last time, and he will definitely appear again tonight.

Because, Dou Yin is from an orthodox sect, not specially cultivated for gangsters, and wants to help him by luring him with heavy profits. That being the case, he didn't have much time down the mountain, so he urgently needed to speed up the assassination mission.

Sogo was constantly beating the drums in his heart, and because of this, he had to make the protection work arranged tonight foolproof!

The Imperial City of the Eastern Capital, Ziwei Palace, Youchu

"Concubine Rong, His Royal Highness King Ning has arrived!"

Empress Jiang was chatting with Song Yu, the eunuch guarding the palace outside suddenly shouted, and the queen looked up, only to see a graceful and delicate woman, wearing a pink painted Vermilion Bird Feather Coat, and a golden hairpin on her head.

"Sister Concubine Rong is here!" Empress Jiang said with a smile on her face.

It turned out that this beautiful woman was Song Mill's biological mother, Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong and Empress Jiang have always been friends, among the beauties of the harem favored by Emperor Chu, in addition to the queen of the main palace, it is this Concubine Rong, and secondly, it is Song Qi's biological mother Yun Guifei, but unfortunately Concubine Yun died of malaria when Song Qi was three years old, and died young.

"Today is my sister's birthday, and I, as a younger sister, naturally want to send a congratulatory gift in person."

Concubine Rong greeted her with a smile, and Song Mo said "Meet the queen", and then ordered someone to bring the gift up.

Jiang Hou fixed his eyes and took a look, it turned out to be a three-zhang high red jade stone, carved into a picture of "Fengming Qishan", and the base was engraved with the four big characters of "Fengyi World", and the font was inlaid with pure gold, shining in the sun, the brilliance was infinite, and the people present were all amazed.

"My sister's small gift is really not easy to serve at the banquet, so I can only send it in advance, and I hope my sister will accept it with a smile."

Concubine Rong gently saluted Empress Jiang, and then said.

Empress Jiang said happily: "Sister, this gift is really exquisite!" Hongu rejoices tightly! ”

Concubine Rong said with a smile: "As long as my sister likes it, it's fine." ”

"What are you doing standing? Sit down. ”

Empress Jiang waved her hand to greet Concubine Rong's mother and son, Concubine Rong and King Ning thanked her, and sat down under Song Yu. The jade carvings were carried to the backyard.

"By the way, Sister Rong, I was talking to Mill the day before yesterday that I wanted to say a family affair for him, I asked Mill which minister's daughter she liked, sister, guess who Mill fell in love with?" Empress Jiang said with a smile.

Concubine Rong glanced at Song Mo with a sneer and said, "This kid is very stubborn, I have already said about marrying the princess, but he just doesn't allow it, and he never tells me who he likes." ”

Jiang Hou said: "Then the palace told my sister that your family is in love with Zhao Zhongshuling's daughter." ”

Concubine Rong said with a little surprise: "It's actually the daughter of Zhongshu Ling!" Oh, my sister remembered, once, the Chinese book ordered the adult to do a birthday, I saw that Mill Er stayed in the palace all day and was bored, so he asked him to go to pay respects, not only to let him go out and walk around, but also to make friends with Lord Zhao, who could help in the future, but I didn't expect that this child actually fell in love with someone's daughter. ”

Song Mo blushed and lowered his head embarrassedly.

Jiang Hou said with a smile: "Lord Zhao is the pillar of the country, and he climbs to the in-laws, since he is the right person, tomorrow, the palace will invite Miss Zhao into the palace to check for her sister, and my sister can remember it." ”

Concubine Rong patted Song Miao's arm and said, "I haven't thanked the queen mother soon." ”

Song Mo immediately got up and crossed his hands and said, "Son, thank the queen mother." ”

Empress Jiang smiled and said, "It's all my own family, so I don't have to be so polite." ”

Song Yu watched this scene from the side, but fell into deep thought.
