On the lookout in the northeast corner of the palace, there is a huge bronze bell.

Originally, there were guards on duty here, but now they have left, and only Wen Qingzhu and Qiu Lin are standing on it.

The palace of the Xiongnu is not big, and the harem is even smaller.

Although the courtyard here is called a courtyard, it is not as big as the courtyard of Qi Kingdom.

In addition to the fact that the main house looks quite regular, the wings on the left and right can be seen at a glance that they are temporarily erected.

Wen Qingzhu glanced at it, and there were people living in the ten courtyards.

Some yards are even a little crowded.

At first glance, I really didn't see which was the courtyard of the concubines of the Qi people.

"The third courtyard on the left hand is the courtyard of the little lady." Chu Lin saw that she had been looking, so he pointed it out.

Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly: "It doesn't look like any different from other courtyards." ”

Qiu Lin shook his head and said, "My lord, take a closer look, none of the people serving in this little lady's courtyard are talking. ”

The distance was really not close, Wen Qingzhu stared at it for a long time, and finally found an abnormality: "It's really different." ”

She turned her head and asked, "When will she come out?" ”

Chu Lin counted the time and said, "There are about a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour. ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"This little lady rarely goes out every day, and it is probably at this time of day and at night that she will come out."

Hearing him say this, Wen Qingzhu didn't ask, but waited patiently.

About a quarter of an hour passed, and sure enough, all the people in that courtyard had left.

Soon the door opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Although the distance is far away, her demeanor can change a lot, but Wen Qingzhu can still recognize it at a glance.

This person is Xia Feikite!

I don't know if I noticed this, Xia Feiyuan actually raised her head and looked over.

The lookout platform where Wen Qingzhu is located is not big, and there is a big clock, and when you look from low to high, your vision is becoming more and more unclear.

Xia Feiyuan, who was at the door, turned her head and asked the kneeling slave girl beside her: "Is the person on duty at the lookout changing shifts now?" ”

"It's not been quiet inside and outside the city these days, and people have been replaced." The slave girl didn't dare to look up, but replied resignedly.

Xia Feiyuan looked at the lookout, and always felt that something was not right, and a sense of crisis arose in her heart out of thin air.

She quickly went to the wing room on the right, and soon disappeared.

On the lookout, Qiu Lin had been paying attention to Wen Qingzhu's expression, and he found that after the little lady appeared, Wen Qingzhu's mouth had a smile on his lips.

After confirming his identity, Wen Qingzhu turned his head and was about to walk off the lookout.

Qiu Lin followed closely behind her, and still asked, "Adults know little lady?" ”

Wen Qingzhu asked as he walked, "Doesn't she have a name?" You've always only called her Little Madame? ”

"I don't know this, when the little lady came into the palace, except for the people sent to serve her, the person who saw her the most was the second prince, and the rest of the people were corpses, and then me."

Qiu Lin's words made Wen Qingzhu can't help but chuckle: "It seems that this little lady is very vigilant and doesn't dare to go out easily." ”

After a pause, Qiu Lin replied, "She is a Qi person after all. ”

Wen Qingzhu didn't speak, she didn't think that Xia Feiyuan was worried that the Huns would be unfavorable to her.

Qiu Lin personally sent Wen Qingzhu out of the palace.

Wen Qingzhu turned his head and stopped: "Lord Qiu Lin doesn't have to send him off, I will keep your affairs in mind." ”

After leaving here, Wen Qingzhu returned to the inn, but saw He Lai with his arms hanging.

"Captain Horay?" Wen Qingzhu walked inside, scanning the room and finding that there was no one else.

He Lai hurriedly stood up and explained, "My lord, did I come here today to chase the corpse, I came here to thank you." ”

"Oh? Isn't Captain Horai a retainer of the Corpse Chase Lord? I heard that the retainers here in Aquila City are different from other places, so ......"

Wen Qingzhu didn't speak, but He Lai knew what she meant.

The most powerful people on the side of Aquila City are generals who lead troops to fight, and as an adult's bodyguard, he is a retainer if he sounds good, and he is a high-ranking slave if he doesn't sound good.

"Lord Corpse Chaser came back, let me rest for seven days, and let the other people accept my affairs, so I can come over."

When Horai said these words, he looked calm, but the look in his eyes could not be hidden.

Wen Qingzhu quickly guessed: "The person chosen to replace you this time is your opponent?" ”

He Lai didn't speak, Wen Qingzhu acquiesced to him, turned his head and invited him to sit down.

While pouring him tea, he comforted: "This is not a big deal, after all, the current situation of Lord Corpse is very bad, and the second prince obviously does not trust him." ”

"When the lord came back from the palace, did he choose Lord Chulin?" He Lai has been chasing the corpse for too long, and he still habitually thinks about him. 100 Literature

Wen Qingzhu could see that He Lai was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and even if the corpse chased him and used him again, he still cultivated him after all.

Before, she just gave a stick and then a sweet date, He Lai took the initiative to come to the door to thank her, and her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, which made Wen Qingzhu like it very much.

If he could, Wen Qingzhu even wanted to take him in.

But she also knew that it was impossible, after all, she was not a real Hun person, but a Qi person.

But for now, try to lobby.

"I've never chosen anyone, but this time I went to the palace, Chulin did me a great favor, if nothing else, the result will be available tonight."

Horai frowned: "So fast? Could it be that the previous Chulin had already found the murderer? ”

Wen Qingzhu immediately denied it: "That's not true, until there are witnesses and evidence, it's always fast, now I'm just waiting to see the second prince, then he will report, if I can, I hope the second prince will arrest people by himself, after all, now that the clues have come out, you just need to catch people." ”

"The second prince helped you arrest people?" For the first time, Horai felt strange, "But didn't the second prince leave the matter to you?" Why did you let the second prince arrest people instead? ”

Wen Qingzhu laughed: "I'm just in charge of investigating this matter, and I didn't promise to be in charge of arresting people, whether it's the second prince or you, you all know, there are only a few people around me who can use it, Tianying City is very big, and the outside of the city is even bigger, and there is no manpower, so you can't catch people." ”

He Lai didn't speak, and Wen Qingzhu pushed the tea bowl over.

He picked it up and put it to his lips when he suddenly smelled a faint smell of medicine.

He Lai suddenly raised his head, Wen Qingzhu looked into his eyes and smiled: "There is a little herb added to it, which will help your arm recover, you will know what herb it is when you taste it, and you will go back to drink milk tea and add a little bit in the future." ”

"Thank you, Lord Xiaoshui." He Lai's heart was full of gratitude, and he drank all the milk tea with the medicine.

Before leaving, He Lai couldn't help but ask: "Lord Xiaoshui really doesn't think about the corpse of the adult?" Although he is not as trusted by the second prince as Lord Chulin, he will not fall so easily. ”

Seeing that he was so serious, Wen Qingzhu temporarily became ridiculous, and said deliberately ambiguously: "If Captain He Lai is willing to surrender to me, you can consider it." ”

Generally, the surrender of Xiongnu men is to recognize the lord, and the submission to the Xiongnu women is not only to recognize the lord, but also to be the minister under the skirt of the master.

He Lai immediately stagnated his breath, and said with a straight face for a long time: "Don't joke, adults. ”

Wen Qingzhu replied helplessly: "Since you think it's a joke, it's a joke over there." ”

He Lai nodded and took his leave, and after he had walked a few steps, Wen Qingzhu noticed that the roots of his ears were as red as a soldering iron.

Seeing this, Wen Qingzhu turned his head and went in.

Before he could sit down, Zuo Bingning ran out of the back room and asked with some concern, "You won't like He Lai, right?" ”

Wen Qingzhu sat down, beckoned her to sit down with her, and said deliberately: "Of course I like it!" Otherwise, how could he be so good to him? ”

Zuo Bingning's eyes widened in disbelief, and without waiting for her to speak, Wen Qingzhu explained: "Don't worry, what I like is his ability, it's a pity that a person like him stays by the corpse's side as a guard." ”

After a long time, Zuo Bingning retracted her shock, but she was still puzzled, and looked left and right and whispered: "But he is a Hun after all, you are optimistic about him, and you can't bring him back?" ”

"If you can't bring it back, you have to find a way to let him remember my kindness, if there is anything in the future, it may have a big effect."

After Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, he drank a bowl of milk tea in one gulp.

Putting down the tea bowl, taking out a handkerchief and wiping his mouth, Wen Qingzhu stood up, looked at the inner room and asked, "Feitian is back, right?" ”

Zuo Bingning hurriedly followed her to the inner room, nodded and said, "I'm back!" He is waiting for you now, and when he sees that you are in Jianhorai, he is teaching Tu Dan to read. ”

When he arrived in the inner room, Wen Qingzhu really saw Feitian holding a pen and teaching Tu Dan to read and write.

There was no problem with the Xiongnu, but there was one with Great Qi.

Wen Qingzhu walked over and glanced at Jamansong, and she immediately went down with the soil egg.

The dirt egg who had packed up his things turned his head to look at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "Sister, does my mother have any news?" ”

"Not for the time being, it happened suddenly today, I'll help you find your mother tomorrow, okay?" Wen Qingzhu doesn't like to deceive people, so he directly told the current situation.

Although Tudan was disappointed, he was still very sensible, nodded and followed Gansong.

With no one else, Wen Qingzhu turned his head and sat down.

Feitian directly took out a map: "My lord, I found a few doctors outside the city, according to my confirmation, they are indeed from the Asan tribe, and they have begun to plan the next move." ”

Wen Qingzhu took his map and frowned slightly.

Isn't this a place near the House of the Dead?

Could it be that the corpses have dealings with the people of the Asan tribe?

It seemed to see Wen Qingzhu's considerations, Feitian explained: "At first, the relationship between the corpse and the sixth prince was very good, and then the daughter of the corpse died in the mansion of the sixth prince, and he and the sixth prince broke up, and there should be no contact at present." ”

"Not necessarily, we'll see." After Wen Qingzhu saw the corpse, he knew what kind of person he was.

However, now that the target has been locked, Wen Qingzhu will not sit still.

Originally, she wanted to collect the net directly, but now she learned that Xia Feiyuan had become the second prince's woman.

Wen Qingzhu felt that it was necessary for her to force Xia Feikite.

Otherwise, let Xia Feiyuan, a woman, stay alive, Wen Qingzhu would be unhappy.

After pondering for a long time, Wen Qingzhu knocked his head and asked Feitian: "I forged a letter here, can you send it to the palace?" ”

"Now?" Feitian was a little surprised, "Who did you meet in the palace?" ”
