Jiang Wanqing said: "You escorted the two grandmothers of Peng and Chen into the East Courtyard, whether it is like what the people said, now you have made the people of the palace panic." What I heard alone was, 'If you enter the eastern courtyard, you will enter the palace of Hades,' and what kind of 'no one who enters the western courtyard will come out.'" Everyone in this palace is in danger, so it's no wonder if something happens like this. ”

Zhao Xiu's mouth opened into a circle, "Oh~ Okay, I understand, it's nothing, it's quite scary to be passed on by these people." It just so happens that the two of them have almost taken care of their affairs, and I will let them go back to the West Courtyard to pack their luggage at that time. ”

When Jiang Wanqing heard Zhao Xiu's words, her heart was settled. As long as they can return to the West Courtyard, it means that the two of them are still alive, and the rumors are self-defeating.

The mother and son chatted a lot together, and also talked about Zhao Xiu's childhood. Although the two live in the same mansion every day, there are few opportunities for the two to meet.

The laughter of the two people living in the house reached the ears of the people in the courtyard, and everyone was relaxed by the laughter of the mother and son.

The two of them chatted one by one, and they didn't know how long it took, Jiang Wanqing said: "Okay, okay, it's not early, you should go back to sleep, going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health, don't stay up late, do you hear?" ”

Zhao Xiu took Jiang Wanqing's hand and said, "Then I'm leaving, I must be happy, the money over there is not a problem in Wanshengyuan." Your son has nothing but a lot of silver. ”

Jiang Wanqing slapped Zhao Xiu's hand fiercely and said, "You still have the face to say, now the entire Tianwu Kingdom knows that you are not doing your job, and you are in the eyes of money every day." Shinong businessman, you deal with those mercenary villains every day, do you still have a good one? ”

Zhao Xiu saw that Jiang Wanqing had a lesson to teach herself, so she hurriedly stood up, and said while walking outside: "Mother, if my son has no money, how can the affairs of the children of Wanshengyuan be easily solved?" There must be pros and cons in everything, alas, don't send it, it's strange and cold outside, I'm leaving, I'll come to see you another day. No, no, if you miss me, I'm always there. Saying that, Zhao Xiu had already walked into the courtyard.

Zhao Xiu's mouth kept talking, which made Jiang Wanqing unable to interject a word, and naturally he couldn't teach him a lesson. Meng Xin waited in the courtyard all the time, and when he saw Zhao Zhaoxiu coming out, he followed him closely.

Jiang Wanqing wore a black brocade and gold silk skirt, stood at the door and watched Zhao Xiu leave, and shouted from afar: "Don't wander around, go directly to Cuixiu Garden, do you hear?" ”

"Got it." Zhao Xiu responded, and then disappeared from Jiang Wanqing's sight with Meng Xin.

The west courtyard is the most crowded place in the entire palace, and even at night, the stone road of the west courtyard is full of lights.

Leaving Nianci Garden, Zhao Xiu and Meng Xin went straight to Cuixiu Garden. The weather was already cold in the middle of the night, coupled with the evening breeze in autumn, which made Zhao Xiu shiver.

Zhao Xiu walked in front of Meng Xin and said, "Mama Peng and Mama Chen, they haven't been sent away yet, have they?"

Meng Xin said inexplicably: "Not yet, I have set to send it away at the end of the evening." Why did you suddenly ask about the two of them? ”

Zhao Xiu said: "Do the people in the mansion regard the East Courtyard as the Yama Palace?" As a palace steward, you won't hear any rumors, right? ”

Meng Xin smiled: "When did you care about this?" Who is chewing the root of your tongue in your ear? ”

Zhao Xiu said solemnly: "Don't laugh! The old lady told me personally, and she asked me if I had done it for Mama Peng and Mama Chen. You say that her old people say so, so why do the people of the palace have to spread this rumor? ”

Meng Xin raised his eyebrows, he understood the seriousness of the matter. The Eastern Courtyard was originally the base camp of the Demon Guards, and it was an extremely secret existence. Now it has attracted the attention of the entire palace. Without an impermeable wall, the mystery of the East Courtyard will spread throughout Nanning sooner or later. Meng Xin knew that many things were ruined by rumors.

Meng Xin asked, "Does the old lady have any requirements?" He hadn't cared about this matter all along, knowing that it had attracted Jiang Wanqing's attention, he naturally had to take into account Jiang Wanqing's thoughts first.

Zhao Xiu had already seen the lights of Cuixiu Garden, but there was still a lot of things to say in his heart, so he had to slow down.

"What the old lady wants is the stability of the palace, as for how to do it, you look at the arrangement." Zhao Xiu was talking about Peng and Chen, but at this time, he was thinking about Turing. Suddenly, he thought of what he had promised Jiang Wanqing in Nian Ciyuan, and hurriedly added: "By the way, I promised the old lady to let these two people go back to the West Courtyard to pack their luggage, see if you can arrange it." ”

Meng Xin also slowed down with Zhao Xiu, he frowned, obviously a little embarrassed. "Tsk, these two people have been dealt with by Ah San, and I can't see anything on the surface, but ......"

The Ah San in Meng Xin's mouth is a terrifying demon refining in the Demon Protector, and he is the most proficient in torture among the twelve demons of the earthly branch. After his interrogation, there is no difference between living and dead, they are all walking corpses.

Meng Xin's desire to speak stopped, others didn't understand, and it was impossible for Zhao Xiu not to understand. But anyone who knows Ah San can understand the meaning.

Zhao Xiu had already walked to a side gate in Cuixiu Garden, and when he passed through the side gate, he would meet the maid who had been waiting in the yard for a long time. He stopped, leaned against the courtyard wall and turned around: "No matter what, if you want the two people to appear in the west courtyard safe and sound, you can arrange for them not to contact anyone, which can reduce the risk." ”

Zhao Xiu's order was beyond doubt, let alone refuted, and Meng Xin could only do it.

Zhao Xiu said: "Turing's side is arranged?" "Zhao Xiu's real concern about this is only this one thing at night, and in Zhao Xiu's heart, Turing will always be just a child.

Meng Xin understood what Zhao Xiu was worried about, "The road is all chosen by yourself, let's remind you, the task will be completed, and the rest depends on everyone's creation?" ”

Zhao Xiu leaned against the courtyard wall, regardless of whether the courtyard wall was dirty or not, his whole body was extremely relaxed and stuck to the wall. He looked up at the starry sky, thinking of a rough and fierce face in his mind. "You can't talk about it like that, the demon is dead, and he pressed the suicide note under the demon suppression stone to make a request, and I didn't do it. He asked us to send Turing to the island, and I regret not doing what he said. ”

Meng Xin heard Zhao Xiu mention the Demon Suppression Stone, and a sense of sadness also rose in his heart. "Turing, this kid, is very similar to you, in addition to revenge, the only thing left in his mind is to kill. A natural demon king, the leader of all demons. Hopefully he'll make it through tonight. ”

Zhao Xiu's thick hair on the back of his head protected his head, but he was still restless and swaying on the wall. He frowned, "I hope he doesn't make it, so I have a reason to send him to the island." Unfortunately, this is not possible. ”

"Huh? Are you so confident in Turing? Meng Xin was a little surprised, he was the one who said the most good things about Turing in front of Zhao Xiu, and the reason was that he thought that Zhao Xiu did not believe in Turing's strength, and it seemed that he had not seen through Zhao Xiu's thoughts about Turing.

Zhao Xiu said sadly: "I have more confidence in the power of hatred. You're right, he's a lot like me back then, either getting things done or driving himself to death. He may not succeed, but he certainly won't live to fail. You must think it's a test, but it's actually just a test. My test of him is long over, and all that remains is a pair of burdens waiting for him to pick. ”

Meng Xin frowned, his mind was in a trance, and he didn't know what to say. He has always thought that Zhao Xiu's lack of attention to Turing is burying a genius in vain. But when Zhao Xiu told him that he was going to reuse Turing with all his might, he began to worry deeply again. He felt like a fool for the first time so contradictory.

Zhao Xiu leaned his elbow against the wall, propped himself up, simply patted the wall ash behind him, and turned around and walked towards Cuixiu Courtyard. Only Meng Xin was left with an emaciated back, and a sentence that made him feel pressured: "Go and prepare!" ”

Cuixiu Garden was brightly lit, but the place outside the palace was not so bright, and the dark night became the umbrella of Turing and his party. Soon Turing and his party of more than 30 people divided into three teams, escaped the night watchmen on the streets of Nanning, and came to the wall of a mansion not far from Lufu.

If it weren't for the map on the rice paper, Turing and the others would definitely have done a few night patrols on the way.

Turing and Slippery led the ten men to arrive first, a place that had already been designated. The house has three courtyards, a large pond, and is still the smallest courtyard on the street.

Nanning and even the entire Liaozhou are different from the fang city system of the cities in Tianwu Prefecture.

Emperor Tianwu followed the fang market system of the former merchants, and it has always been a separate city and a fang, and there is no house in the city, and there are no shops in the fang. The city is surrounded by a wall, called "阛", and a gate is set up on all sides, called "阓". The market opens and closes, and the transactions are scattered.

The establishment, abolition, and relocation of cities were all carried out by order of the government. The urban area is neatly planned, and the shops in the city are divided according to the type of goods and arranged in the specified places, which are called "Shi" or "Times". The imperial court had a full-time official who managed the market, the city order. The streets are straight and uniform. The residential area "fang" and the commercial area "city" are strictly separated from each other, and are surrounded by partitions or fences. Fang, the city gate has a full-time guard guard, the opening and closing time has a unified government regulations. The market area is huge, all transactions must be carried out in the market, and trading outside the market is strictly prohibited.

Liaozhou did not fully follow the fang market system of the former merchants, although it was also a city and a fang, but the city could be lived, and the fang still did not have shops like the old system. In this way, the market can not only be used for trading, but also for living, which greatly facilitates the buying and selling of merchants and the circulation of goods. This is greatly in line with the situation of ten people and five merchants in Liaozhou. Allowing the people to live in a lively city forced Liaozhou to be much larger than the cities in other states. Because this idea was come up by Zhao Xiu himself, and it was the only one in Tianwu, Zhao Xiu changed the name of the "city" that could be lived and traded to "Fang City", which was actually a change of soup and not a change of medicine.
