Hu Guiyang learned that he did have a "backer" in the palace, but this "backer" was not stable.

"There are a lot of rumors about the abolition of the crown prince, but according to my observation, Your Majesty still likes the current prince very much, and there are more than a dozen masters who focus on cultivating and teaching literary and martial arts, and the eunuchs around him are also old and reliable people."

"What kind of favorite do you mean?" Hu Guiyang asked.

"Do you like it?" Fan Dajian was very surprised.

"Of course, there is a loving father's love for his son, and he can't wait to hold him in his arms all the time, and he doesn't think about tea and dinner for a day."

Fan Dajian shook his head, "There is probably no such liking in the palace, and it is common for the prince not to see His Majesty for more than ten days." ”

"There is also Yan's father's liking for his son, I hope that my son will be Jackie Chan, and I can't wait to bet all my wealth on my son, hire famous teachers in the world, although we don't meet from time to time, but I care about daily life, and big and small things must be delivered in time."

"It's a bit like, the prince has a lot of masters, and it may be a bit too much to say that he is a 'famous teacher in the world'."

"There is also a farmer's love for crops, watering, turning the ridges, and weeding them as treasures, but the happiest time is the autumn harvest."

Fan Dajian was taken aback, "How can there be such a father-son love?" Oh, I see, are you saying that Your Majesty is still a 'god son' or an elixir when he is still the crown prince? ”

Hu Guiyang smiled and nodded.

"As far as you think, this kind of thing...... If you don't ask, who would dare to think about it? Fan Dajian shook his head again and again, drank a glass of wine, and still "thought" for a while, "Yuan Mao and I have never seen the emperor again, so we can't see is believing, we can only guess." ”

"Of course."

"Your Majesty...... I probably can't be sure myself, but among the masters I chose for the prince are Confucian scholars, martial artists, monks, and Taoist priests. ”

"Like you?"

"Like Lizi Province." Fan Dajian said disdainfully.

"Li Zi Province is still in the palace?"

"Hey, he hasn't forgotten you, it's just that the Temple of Heaven God has failed miserably, and he has been more honest in the past few years." Fan Dajian leaned over, "Don't care if the prince's position is unstable, let me ask again: Is the divine jade really on you?" ”

"Ever."

Fan Dajian still couldn't hide the horror in his heart, "Yuan Mao and I were transferred to other places for two years, and after returning to Beijing, we went to the Zhan Mansion to serve, and the reason why I haven't contacted you is because I serve the prince, I can't be distracted, I can't leak secrets, and second, because of the ...... of Shenyu."

"The prince also went to the field with you?"

Fan Dajian slapped his head, "I missed it." ”

"It's okay, I guessed it." Hu Guiyang smiled and took a sip of wine, "If I continue to guess, the place you went to is Yunyang Mansion?" ”

Fan Dajian opened his mouth for a while before he said, "When did you guess?" ”

"I told you a long time ago, I was too lazy to guess before, but I just guessed. You continue to say that because you suspect that I have a divine jade, you and Yuan Mao deliberately kept their distance from me? ”

"That's right, what does it mean to avoid suspicion, now it's okay, you have been to Yuan's house twice, and you lived in my house again, and others said that we helped you hide the Shenyu, the evidence is conclusive, but I haven't even seen what the Shenyu looks like."

Hu Guiyang smiled: "No way, you have already boarded the boat, it is impossible to return to the shore, jumping down is deep water, there is no choice but to help me." ”

Fan Dajian sighed, "Wait until next year, you are also married, and Shenyu has been found, how good." ”

"What does my marriage have to do with Shenyu?"

"Rumors—they are rumors, but the source is trustworthy—He Sanchen has found a way to absorb divine power, so he has set up a plan to marry and take the divine jade from you."

"The rumor didn't say why she left the Shenyu to me in the first place?"

"Having said that, she couldn't take out the divine power at that time, but she was easily attracted by the divine power, and she and the dwarf Wen Kongyin were jealous of each other, so I want to leave the divine jade to a trustworthy person who is not interested in the divine power, that is, you."

"Sounds like a thing."

"Originally, I only believed it in four or five percent, but after listening to you admit it today, I completely believe that the rumors are true. You said that Shenyu was missing, was it taken away by He Sanchen? ”

Hu Guiyang shook his head slowly, and drank another glass of wine, "It's not her, Jinyiwei has experienced Jiang Yun, Nansi Zhen Fu Liangxiu, and the head of his own house, the jade thief must be one of these three people, and he left it by himself and did not hand it in." ”

Fan Dajian's eyes widened, and finally said: "Alas, to tell you the truth, if I get the divine jade, I may not hand it over, that thing...... If you know that you are only one step away from becoming an immortal and a god, who can resist the temptation? Probably it's just you, because you don't believe in ghosts or gods at all. ”

"Because I'm too lazy." Hu Guiyang said with a smile, "Shen Qianyuan was preparing to kidnap these three people, he said that in ten days, within a month, in order to prevent the grass and snakes, they must be kidnapped at the same time." ”

Fan Dajian's eyes widened again, he took a big sip of wine, and muttered: "I'm on the thief ship, I still look forward to resuming contact with you as soon as possible, forgetting how dangerous you are." ”

"Haha, there's no way, it's the danger looking for me, it's not me looking for the danger."

"How do you trust someone like Shen Qianyuan?"

"There's no way, it's in his hands, if you don't give a little sweetness, it's impossible for me to sit with you and drink now."

"You told him the truth?"

"Of course, I told him to tie up the bee girl too."

"Hey, what's the matter with her?"

"She recently learned the skill of somewhere, she can find out if someone has come into contact with Shenyu, and if those three people refuse to confess, she will use it."

"And then, what are your plans?"

"Looking for you and Yuan Mao for help, this is my plan, and so far it has gone well."

Fan Dajian poured another glass of wine, thought for a long time, looked up at Hu Guiyang, stopped talking, thought again, and finally said: "Then we have to get ahead of Shen Qianyuan." ”

"Of course."

Fan Dajian came up with a plan that took a while, and he couldn't help but get annoyed when he only got a "of course", "Do you know how difficult it is?" These three people are all officials of the imperial court, and they all have backers from above......"

"I know."

"That bee girl is even more troublesome, he is the person under the emperor's nose, and he is protected by the princess......"

"I know that too."

"It's definitely not enough to rely on the three of us alone, when Yuan Mao comes back, I have to think of a foolproof plan." Fan Dajian fell into deep thought again.

Hu Guiyang poured him a glass of wine, "Shen Qianyuan wants to kidnap four people, we don't need so many, only one." ”

Fan Dajian smiled bitterly: "My Grandpa Hu, Ancestor Hu, can't you finish the words at one time?" ”

"You have been hiding it from me for so long, I can't hide it from you for a while?"

"Okay, it's my fault, my fault and Yuan Mao's. Do you know who holds the jade? ”

"Left prep."

"Are you sure?"

"If you want to give clear evidence, I don't have it, I just look at people to draw conclusions."

"Look at people?"

"Yes. Jiang Yun is a hero, and he has never been to Yunyang, and he has not even participated in the Temple of Heaven sacrifice. Liang Xiu's scheming is not deep enough, even if he pays attention to Shenyu privately, he will soon be exposed. Only Zuo Yu can best hide what he wants, and he was transferred from Dongchang to Nansi as a hundred households, which is a very doubtful thing in itself. ”

"Listening to what you say, it's really like this, in this way, you don't need to look for Bee Niang, just grab Zuo Pre, and you can get back the Shenyu."

"This is the crime of deception, and Zuo will definitely not recruit it."

The only thing Fan Dajian can do is to pour wine.

"You're drinking a lot more now than you used to."

"Practiced." Fan Dajian said with a smile, and immediately returned to seriousness, "I still have to wait for Yuan Mao to come back, he has already got the news, and he will be able to come out tomorrow night." ”

Hu Guiyang stretched, "In that case, I'll go sleep first." ”

"You're so calm."

"The big deal is that Zuo Pre 'became a god', I tried my best to find the divine jade, I really can't control the things, I can only let go."

"If you find the Divine Jade, what will you do with it?"

Hu Guiyang smiled slightly, "That's why I'm looking for you two for help." ”

Hu Guiyang knew which bedroom it was, so he went to rest, leaving Fan Dajian to sit alone in the living room.

"We have to help find the divine jade, but we can't publicize it, so naturally it is not considered meritorious?" Fan Dajian shook his head, and when he poured another sip, he found that the wine was already cold, "I have to think about it, whether this business is worth it." ”

Yuan Mao didn't wait for the next day, he came to Fan's house that night, Hu Guiyang was sleeping soundly at this time, Fan Dajian opened the door and invited Yuan Mao into the hall, briefly explained the cause and effect, and finally said: "You can think clearly, this time to help Hu Guiyang, you can't get anything, and you have to risk the crime of bullying the king, and all these years of business have been in vain." ”

Serving the prince is a hard and long-term job, which often lasts for many years, and when the prince ascends the throne, he can get the corresponding reward, Yuan Mao and Fan Dajian followed the prince for more than two years and paid a lot.

Yuan Mao said with a smile: "Before, we were born and died with Captain Hu, did we promise that there would be a return beforehand?" ”

"There was no promise, but at least there was hope, and this time, there was no hope at all. It's okay if you can't find the jade, but it's the trouble to find it. Hu Guiyang probably still had to hand over the divine jade to He Sanchen, just like that batch of golden pills. ”

"After so long, you still don't know what Captain Hu is? He sent Jin Dan because he felt that Jin Dan was helpful to He Sanchen and harmless to others, Shenyu was different, it was a temptation and a scourge to anyone, and Hu Guiyang would never hand it over again. ”

"Hmph, even so, Hu Guiyang's approach doesn't do you or me any good."

"There's only one benefit."

"And the benefits I didn't expect?"

"The good thing is that Captain Hu really trusts you and me, and treats us as friends, even if there is no contact for a long time, even if there is a misunderstanding, the friendship has not changed, how many friends can you make?"

Fan Dajian stopped squeaking.

"Captain Hu entrusts life and death to you and me, on the other hand, if you encounter this kind of thing, who do you want to ask for help the most?"

"To tell you the truth, I will look for Hu Guiyang, nothing else, I have the same trust in you, but Hu Guiyang can win by surprise."

"With such benefits, what more can you ask for?"

Fan Dajian sighed, "Okay, but just this time, in the future, no one should take any more risks, let alone entrust life and death to others, it is enough for friends to drink together, and they can't take their lives as a test." ”

"Haha, this may not be as dangerous as you expected. Go and wake up Captain Hu. ”

"What?"

"You shouldn't stay in your house for a long time, you have to change places."

Hu Guiyang was sleepy-eyed, saw Yuan Mao, and said with a smile: "Your wife brought me here, where are you going to drive me to?" ”

"A place that no one else can think of, and that neither of us can find."

"The Imperial Palace?"

"I don't have that much ability, and it's easy to be guessed, let's go, it won't hurt you anyway."

"Where you can find it, it's not too hard to guess, right?"

"Hehe, the magic is here, I don't know where this place is, it's arranged by someone else."

"And 'others'?"

Yuan Mao Zhengse said: "With just the three of us, we can't do anything more than sit and drink." I'm sorry, but I got us a 'friend' without your consent. ”
