After claiming to be ill and stopping the court discussion, Xiao Zhiweifu made more private visits.

This is not news from their ears and eyes, but Cao Zexiao said that they saw it with their own eyes. Sometimes it's at a lively temple fair, sometimes it's on the street, sometimes it's in a famous restaurant in Qidu City. Xiao Zhi can be seen everywhere, several times, Cao Ze and Xiao Zhi still met on the road, Xiao Zhi not only did not shy away, but greeted him warmly, not at all serious and serious, but always leisurely,

"Yo! The general is here too! What a coincidence! ”

Cao Ze didn't say much, he just arched his hand, and left quickly without saying a word.

Xiao Zhi was strange, "Why didn't the general greet me?" ”

Xie Lan, Fang Fei, Rong Xuan and others were crying and laughing on the side, "When you and him are facing Mai Mang, how can he greet you!" ”

"Tell me about the weather, your mood at the moment, how you feel when you're competing with me, and so on. Are you surprised, shocked, or confident?"

"Then I can't even say it!"

And Xiao Zhi went to Sima Mansion most often, and from time to time he took the queen Sima Qing with him, often going in an inconspicuous carriage before dawn, and did not quietly return to the palace until dark.

"This second child is not hiding in the palace walls, what are you wandering around every day?" At the gathering in the General's Mansion, everyone was puzzled and very curious, and they discussed this matter one after another.

"Once the palace walls are breached, it is difficult to escape, so they are often outside, first, to facilitate escape. The second is that he probably guessed that we wouldn't dare to kill him in public! Since learning about the conversation between Xiao Zhi and Cao Ze that day, Xiao Yan has become more calm and cautious, he has always been arrogant and self-controlled, but in recent days, he has often spoken surprising words. Not only did Cao Ze trust him, but even Cao Shuang, Luo Shi, Sun Fei and Tai Heng looked at him differently, as if they had become their military advisors. "That's why he's always outside, and he has plans to be inside."

"Then what should I do, it's not a long-term solution to drag it out like this." Luo Shi looked a little impatient, this time he really tore his face with Xiao Zhen, he didn't want to make any mistakes.

"Although he wanders around, he spends the most time in Sima Mansion." Cao Ze said this, also to comfort everyone, and laughed, "It must be to discuss with my father-in-law how to deal with us, after all, he is still a young man in his early twenties, where has he experienced such a big event?" ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the originally tense atmosphere eased a lot, Cao Ze immediately stretched out his hand, and the opposite stage babbled and sang again.

"Speaking of Sima Mansion, I have a better way."

The men then discussed the matter. According to Cao Ze's meaning. should continue to secretly observe Xiao Zhi's movements, and take advantage of his time in Sima's Mansion to suddenly search Sima's Mansion. Kill someone if you catch them. Then you can also put the sin of wiping the king on the heads of Sima Ni and Sima Wei, which is really ironclad evidence - because people die in his house!

Xiao Yan had a few more eyes at the moment, thought for a while and said, "Anything that is unusual must have a reason." This may also be an empty city plan sung by Xiao Zhen. ”

Cao Ze listened attentively and motioned for him to continue.

"It is also possible that Xiao Zhi deliberately made the illusion of going to Sima Mansion, but in fact, others did not go, and they could take advantage of the opportunity of our mansion search to seize our handle."

"Most of the soldiers and horses around here are our people, and we can all enter the capital just waiting for my brother's order. Even if he plays tricks, it's useless. Cao Shuang said disdainfully.

"We can't be reckless, if that's the case, we will only fall into passivity, and even if we win the position, we will be tongue-in-cheek." Xiao Yan thought about it carefully, "It's better for us to find the right opportunity, divide the troops into two ways, and take the Sima Mansion and the palace together, which can be regarded as appropriate." ”

"Good!" Cao Zege smiled, he admired Xiao Yan's resourcefulness and decisiveness, but if he said yes, he would also seem incompetent. So he said, "If the sneak attack fails, you and I will become nestless birds, and we will only be one step away from the ghost under the knife." So I think, first, we have to look at it and then go to the net; The second is that you can't be famous, even if you don't succeed, there is a way back. When the time comes, Sun Fei will take Wu Haoze's Praetorian Guard first, and everything will be in place. ”

It was a very well-thought-out plan, and everyone agreed with it.

In the evening, Xie Lan was ordered by Xiao Zhi to visit Sima Mansion, he was alone, wearing a brand-new ink-colored robe, his head was also scattered, only tied at random, and he did not carry a weapon on his body, and he looked like a rich son. He wandered around the flower street for a long time, drank several flower wines in succession, played with the women, and left drunk until it was dark.

Because it was a secret edict, he had to delay for a long time in Flower Street, get rid of the people who were following him, and then trotted all the way to Sima Mansion by taking advantage of the moonlight. After letting the little guy report from the side door, Sima Wei secretly opened the door and let him in.

Sima Ni had already gone to bed, and when he heard that Xie Lan, who was beside the king, was visiting late at night, he was so anxious that he didn't have time to change his pajamas, so he just put on a big coat and went out to greet him.

"Xie guard, is something happening to the king?" Seeing Xie Lan, Sima Ni hurriedly omitted even the greeting process - he was an old man who paid attention to these things, and asked anxiously.

"The king has something for me to tell you two, as well as Mr. Li Zhi and Miss Su Wan." Shen Lian was reluctant to reveal his identity, and still used Li Zhi's pseudonym.

"Good, good." Sima Ni looked around, at such a critical juncture, except for the relevant people, the rest of the people were not safe, thinking of this, he said, "It's not safe to talk here, let's go to Mr. Li Zhi and Miss Su Wan to talk about it." ”

Xie Lan agreed, and a few people walked through the backyard of Sima Mansion, stepped past the firewood house and two huts, and passed through an inconspicuous small door, which was the hiding place of Shen Lian, Su Wan and the others.

I saw a large pond five acres square, and the stone bridge led to his heart island. The water of the pond is clear and clear, rippling and sparkling, and clear to the eyes. From time to time, some tarpon that are more than a foot long jump out of the water and make a plopping sound. The surrounding shore is planted with weeping willow and dragon-necked willow, and when the breeze blows, the willow swings, and it is vigorous. Crossing the pond along the bridge, seven or eight reed huts on the opposite bank are staggered. At the door of the three thatched huts in the middle, there is a black plaque. This place looks simple and simple from the outside, and its appearance is not amazing; Only by looking closely can you know that the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the beauty is hidden inside. In contrast, it makes people feel that the Sima Mansion Garden is very suspicious of carving.

Even though he had been here many times, Xie Lan was still shocked to see that such an inconspicuous small door walked in like a peach blossom spring.

"This place is simply amazing, like Alibaba's treasure cave." Xiao Zhi said this when he first saw it.

"Your Majesty, Ah... What is Alibaba? ”

"Uh.... It's nonsense, in short, it's very powerful, very unexpected. ”

"Oh."

The king is still the same as before, willing to talk nonsense, I'm afraid that he was seriously ill when he was a child and burned his brain!

How could they have been dealing with the scheming Cao Ze and Xiao Yan for so long?

Probably...... I guess I burned some of it! This is Xie Lan's final conclusion.

In the end, it is the king, the true dragon is blessed, and even the brain is burned so badly, Xie Lan sighed.

The king is just like this peach blossom spring, it is a rare miracle!

Xiao Zhen, who was far away in the palace, suddenly sneezed, and Fang Fei on the side hurriedly added a piece of clothing.

A few people walked into the hut quickly, Shen Lian and Su Wan were drinking, and when they saw Xie Lan and them, they hurriedly gave up their seats.

"Today, the spies saw that someone in Cao's Mansion went out of the city to the nearby military camp, maybe Cao Ze and they are planning to do it." Xie Lan had just sat down, and his mouth was amazing.

"So what are we going to do, do we strike first?" When Su Wan heard this, she was also a little worried about Xiao Zhen's safety and asked.

"That's not necessary, the king means, let's have a trick." Xie Lan paused, and said solemnly, "The next time the king's car comes to the mansion, it won't be the king himself." ”

"This ....." Sima Wei was a little puzzled.

"The king's meaning is to let Cao Ze and them think that the king is in our mansion and attract some of their attention!" Sima Ni was scheming, and he understood it after just thinking about it.

"That's what it means." Xie Lan nodded, "When the time comes, please ask the Ling Mansion to strengthen its precautions, and also ask Mr. Li Zhi, Miss Su Wan and Wei Miao to help." ”

"That's okay, it's just ....." Shen Lian thought for a moment and said, "Their manpower is destined to be more than ours, we are already at a disadvantage, if it is General Cao Ze himself, I'm afraid we won't be able to parry." ”

"The king has already taken this into account, and when the time comes, Imperial Physician Song will come to the palace in the king's car to support." Xie Lan was concise and to the point. "In addition, garrisons from other places are also rushing to the capital to protect the king, and it will be a day or two, so you just need to delay the time."

"Imperial Doctor Song? That Song Qinglian? Is he on the king's side? "This time, Shen Lian was a little surprised." Really? ”

This Song Qinglian is extraordinary, Shen Lian has dealt with him several times, but he has not been able to find out his details and origin, this person is erratic, and he seems to be in the world, at this time, I heard that Song Qinglian was willing to deal with Cao Ze, and I was very shocked.

"I don't know the specific details of this, but Imperial Doctor Song is indeed from our side." Xie Lan swore solemnly.

"There's no need to worry too much over there." Shen Lian saw Xie Lan's affirmative appearance, so he was relieved.

"What if they are not fooled and go straight to the palace? What should the king do? Su Wan still asked uneasily.

"On the king's side, there are shadow guards and guards to protect him, and General Wu Haoze, who is in charge of the Praetorian Guard, will also do his best to protect the king." Xie Lan said to Sima Ni and Sima Wei again, "When the war really starts, the queen and the old queen mother will leave the capital first in the name of sacrificing their ancestors and ancestors, and go to the land of Yanbei, which is the hometown of the old queen mother, you can rest assured." ”

"Even Wu Haoze .......," Shen Lian muttered.

"That's fine, the kid won't help if he stays here." Sima Ni and Sima Wei let out a long sigh and looked serious again, "The subordinates will do their best to hold back the rebels." ”

Xie Lan bowed deeply to the two of them, and then looked at Shen Lian and Su Wan, "Please." ”

When Xie Lan left, Shen Lian sat in the room and thought about it, whether it was Song Qinglian, who was erratic and had a complicated background, or Wu Haoze, who had always been a loner and never made friends with people to the point of affecting official promotion, they were clearly willing to stand on Xiao Zhen's side at this time.

Could it be a lie to us? Like when he hid his true identity?

It's just that these two people's skills are profound, and ordinary people can't know it, since he knows it, he is still in the palace at the moment and has not escaped, which can be seen to be the truth.

What is this Xiao Zhen's ability? can make such capable people willingly follow him to life and death! Regardless of life!

Xiao Zhen, what kind of person is he? How many other skills are hidden that you don't know?

Before, Shen Lian had always felt that Xiao Zhi was just a young man who was a little clever and liked to play around, but now, he was becoming more and more unable to see through him.

The feeling of not being able to fully grasp the information of the other party is somewhat dangerous! Shen Lian's experience in business for more than ten years told himself.

Su Wan only wiped her sharp blade with potion on the side, and under the moonlight, the sharp sword refracted the dazzling light, and in the dark night, it looked a little out of place.

"What kind of man do you think the king is?"

"He's a very worrying person, always unruly." Su Wan stopped what she was doing, looked at the full moon, and sighed, "I don't know if I can't live there, whether Fang Fei's child can control him." ”

"Ahh Xiao Zhi sniffed, "I sneeze a lot today." ”

"Is the king still cold? I've been wearing a lot, do you have a cold? Fang Fei asked uneasily, "Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

"No, no, no." Xiao Zhi hurriedly waved his hand, "It's probably because there are too many people talking about me." ”
