A moment before Shen Shi, a carriage left Xinglu.

There weren't many people on the streets, after all, it was the time of day when the sun was shining.

Even so, the speed of the carriage is still relatively slow, and it is slightly faster than ordinary people walking briskly, after all, this is a fang market, with restaurants and restaurants on both sides, shops and inns, and occasionally, there will still be a large number of people on the streets, or naughty children, or scholars who are too learned, or groups of rural Tian Shelang who enter the city.

A short and fat middle-aged vendor with his bags on his back who seemed to be hurrying home followed behind the carriage, his steps did not seem fast, but he was not slow at all, and he could keep up with the speed of the carriage completely.

He hung the carriage from a distance, sometimes disappearing, sometimes appearing, but never leaving the carriage.

It's fucking boring!

Huang Liang, who was dressed as a vendor, wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered.

He didn't understand why the boss wanted his team to follow Handan Jun, a notoriously stupid guy who was exiled by the emperor, just let him fend for himself, it was necessary to use a surveillance team?

Walking to a corner, seeing that the carriage was about to turn, Huang Liang suddenly paused and walked into an alley instead.

Before half a pillar of incense, his men had already rushed to the front of the carriage, and stood by at that corner, and when the carriage turned, his men would take his place and continue to follow the carriage.

After entering the alley, Huang Liang trotted for a while, panting heavily.

The weather was too hot, he was too fat, and he was nervous when he was watching, and he was sweating all the time, which was very uncomfortable.

Came to the hiding place, quickly took off the cloth shirt on his body, took out a set of staff clothes from his bag, and in a few breaths, he finished changing, and now, he is not a peddler, but an outsider in a satin shirt.

Put the clothes in the package, stuff them in the cracks in the walls, and come back to them later, hopefully, when the time comes, these things will still be there.

Shaking the folding fan, Huang Liang walked out of the alley, walking in a completely different posture from before, no longer hunched over, but holding his head high, swaggering forward with crab steps.

There were five people in their group, and he was the leader.

They are responsible for monitoring and spying and other tasks, and when necessary, they also carry out ambushes and assassinations, and they come from an assassination organization that probably has more than 100 people like him. Usually, they all have their own families and their own lives, and when they have tasks, they will gather. On the surface, this is an underworld organization, an organization that mainly seeks profits.

Most low-level people like Huang Liang think so.

However, Huang Liang is different, he knows more secrets.

His brother-in-law is one of the top leaders of this organization, so he knows some inside information.

This organization is the peripheral organization of a family of gate valves in Guanzhong, usually, although it has received a lot of foreign affairs, however, it is mainly for the door valve to do things, Huang Liang faintly knows the origin of this door valve, Lantian Lu, a huge family, the entire Lantian is the sphere of influence of the Lu family, some people in the Lu family hold important positions in the court, and some people serve in the army, and there are women in the Lu family who married into the palace as concubines, and now, they are being favored.

Other than that, Huang Liang didn't know much.

Their team received the task a few days ago, the task is to monitor the little boy who lives in the peach blossom forest grass hall in the back mountain of Xuanzhen Temple, as long as the other party comes out, they must understand his every move, everything must be made into a written report and handed over to the above, every day.

With such a solemn matter, Huang Liang naturally had doubts.

He found a war horse stamped with the seal of the imperial horse in the stable of the thatched cottage, and also sent the carriage extraordinary, with a dragon pattern carved on it, you know, this dragon pattern is not available to the Du royal family.

That is, he is spying on a prince.

After some inquiry, I also knew that it was Handan Jun who was being monitored, the thirteenth son today.

Naturally, he also knew that Handan-kun was a fool.

During this time, Handan Jun Du Rui's whereabouts are basically understood, in addition to regularly going to Xinglu for medical treatment, his favorite thing is to wander around the street, like to go to the teahouse to listen to books, like those snacks on the street, like to watch juggling.

After inquiring through various channels, Handan Jun no longer seems to be an idiot, and he has improved significantly.

However, he still can't compare with normal people, he has frequent headaches, he also has a lot of wandering in the world, he doesn't speak well at all, his reaction is extremely slow, he is no longer demented, but he is inevitably stupid.

Does it make sense?

Huang Liang was tired of this task, especially of the weather.

He wished that Du Rui would hide in the peach blossom forest every day, so that they only needed to change shifts and take turns to guard outside, unlike now, on a hot day, they had to run around and work everywhere.

After a while, Huang Liang appeared in a pergola, the pergola was located outside a teahouse, there was a large bucket in the corner of the inside, holding tea, under the pergola, there were tables and stools, square tables, benches, and several stacks of thick bowls.

A penny for a bowl of herbal tea, you can continue after drinking, until three bowls.

When Huang Liang walked in, there was a coolie dressed as a man under the pergola drinking herbal tea with a thick bowl.

The two looked at each other and winked at each other.

That man deceived the teahouse, and Huang Liang understood that Du Rui was the same as usual, listening to people in the teahouse, he seemed to like to listen to the story of Feng Lixue's visit to Handan at night, is this related to his fiefdom in Handan?

There are a lot of people in the teahouse in the afternoon, such weather, idlers can't stay at home, naturally like to come to the teahouse, invite a few friends, close a few bowls of herbal tea, listen to the storyteller on the stage talk about the ancients, everyone pulls around, passes the time, isn't it happy?

Huang Liang sat down at a square table by the door.

Unlike the palace and the family gate, such tables and chairs are very popular among the people, which is more convenient.

Kneeling or sitting cross-legged is only in the upper class families, where there are still low couches, cotton cushions, desks, etc., maintaining the traditional ancient style, and disdainful of using furnishings with Hu style such as tables and stools.

Because of spying on Du Rui, Huang Liang has also been in and out of this teahouse several times, and he is familiar with some people, and at this time, he is smiling and greeting acquaintances at the same table, talking nonsense.

He glanced upwards.

The teahouse has two floors, and the second floor is a private room.

Du Rui's identity is naturally sitting in the box, and that box has been wrapped up by Wei Yue, even if Du Rui doesn't come, the box must be empty and must not be provided to others.

From this angle, you can see the box, but you can't see it completely, only part of it.

Huang Liang saw Wei Yue, and also saw Mo Chou's clothes flickering by, Wei Yue was leaning on the railing of the box at this time, looking at the high platform downstairs, where Mr. Storyteller was talking energetically.

Wei Yue's figure is similar to Huang Liang's, he is as fat as a bucket, and he is taller than Huang Liang, at this moment, Huang Liang's vision is strictly obscured, so that he can't see the situation in the box. Huang Liang was gossiping with the people around him, frowning, he was wondering if he was looking for a chance to go upstairs to have a look, but he later gave up this idea.

Wei Yue and Mo Chou have always been inseparable from Du Rui.

If you take a risk, if you are discovered, it will not be good to startle the snake!

Wait, they're going to come out after all.

In the box, Du Rui was sitting in a precarious position, but he was not facing the lobby outside the railing, but with his back to there, facing the door of the box, Mo Chou stood behind him, his right hand on the hilt of the sword, maintaining the posture of drawing the sword.

Xu Xinyan stood solemnly at the door, with a smile on his face.

He gently opened the door, outside the door, stood Yang Nan and Scar Six, both of them looked a little nervous, their eyes revealed a little unease, after the door opened, I saw Du Rui sitting cross-legged on the collapse, they had doubts on their faces, looked at each other, and walked in. Xu Xinyan half-covered the wooden door and did not close it completely, and then stood at the door.

In this way, he could not only listen to the communication between Du Rui and the two of them, but also pay attention to the movement outside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

After Yang Nan and Scar Six came in, they glanced at each other again, and the two reached a consensus in the exchange, and then, they stepped forward half a step together, pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, and at the same time knelt on the ground, touching the ground with their foreheads, and made a big salute.

"Yang Nan (Lu Tao) meets the king, the king, the good luck ......"

This is the idea that Xu Xinyan gave them, let them take refuge in Handan Jun, a prince.

Yes, Xu Huanzhi and Xu Xinyan already knew that Du Rui was Handanjun, of course, this topic did not spread, they were very cautious, and it was impossible to go around and tell people that Handanjun was in our Xinglu for consultation.

Although, Yingzong didn't want anyone to know that he had a stupid son.

However, there are no impermeable walls in the world.

This news still spread more or less from the Daming Palace, first between the high gates, and then, it set off to ordinary families, after all, there are many people who like to talk about gossip, especially the news of the heavenly family, plus there are many people with ulterior motives, deliberately spread the news, so, like Xu Huanzhi, Langzhong, who occasionally comes into contact with big families, also knows about it.

In particular, last time Wei Yue came to the doctor in a panic and forgot to change Du Rui's shirt, so Xu Xinyan saw the small clothes embroidered with dragon patterns.

At noon, Xu Xinyan came to meet Du Rui.

He did not name Du Rui's identity, he said to Du Rui in a more tactful tone, saying that he and his two brothers had encountered problems, and hoped that Du Rui could take a hand, this favor, they will return it in the future.

He felt that Du Rui understood his words.

He was confident that Du Rui would grant his request.

It's a bet!

The dice have been dropped, so it's up to us what time it is!

If he wants to take revenge, he must hug a thigh, and all the thighs seem so out of reach, only the one in front of him, he can hug it, and it doesn't look thick, so he will accept himself.

Sure enough, Du Rui agreed.

In this way, there is a trip to the teahouse this time.

Xu Xinyan left first, took Yang Nan and Scar Six to the teahouse, and when Du Rui came, he led Yang Nan and Scar Six up and let them meet, after all, if Du Rui wants to help them, he must meet someone first.

After this worship, Du Rui was their master.

As for Xu Xinyan, when he was in Xinglu, he had already paid a big respect.
