On the tenth day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the official office of the Great Prison Temple, the second hall -- the day after learning from Xiao Li, the assassin of the dangerous building, that Jin Ling'er had gone to the palace to meet the crown prince Li Wei, Xie An sat behind the sandalwood desk that was more than a foot long, and looked at the mountains of files on the table with a dull look.

Headache o Headache ...... What deal did Sister Jin Jiujing and Prince Li Wei make? Obviously, she had already fought with the Dongling assassins, but suddenly the flag died down, and the two sides entered the water without violating the river...... What's going on?

Also, what did she mean when she said to Xiao Li, [There is still a big thing to do in a few days]?

"O-a-o-a-o!" Thinking of the irritability, Xie An shouted like a frenzy.

The 1,000 civil officials in the second hall who were dealing with the case file were startled, and looked at Xie An with a puzzled expression, looking at each other.

Zuo Cheng Zhou Yi glanced at Xie An, stood up, walked to Xie An's side, and asked, "Da Jin, what's wrong?" ”

Zuo Cheng is a civil official position in the Great Prison Temple, the full name is Zuo Cheng of the Great Prison Temple, from the six products, the position is to help the Great Prison Temple Qing and Shaoqing deal with some non-important official business, if Xie An is the deputy of the old man Kongwen, then this Zhou Yi is Xie An's deputy, when Xie An is not in the Great Prison Temple, help take care of some things.

At first, when Xie An first arrived at the Great Prison Temple, this Zhou Yi was just a master of the palm prints from the seven products, and in the Great Prison Temple, he was only a middle-level civil official, but because he was the first to express friendship to Xie An, Xie An promoted his position, which made many civil officials in the Great Prison Temple red-eyed, and secretly hated why he wanted to oppose Xie An, the young secretary.

"Brother Zhou...... It's okay, the official is just a little irritable! Shaking his head and leaving the irritability in his heart behind, Xie An smiled reluctantly and asked, "By the way, is there any news from the Weiwei Temple?" ”

Zhou Yi's face turned straight when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said, "Qi Yu Da Entry, there is no news from Weiwei Temple yet, but as far as I know, the Patrol Department of Weiwei Temple has begun to search for the members of the two major assassin pavilions [Dongling] and [Weilou] from house to house, and I believe that there will be a harvest in a few days......

"Oh......" Xie An responded perfunctorily, rubbing his somewhat swollen head.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "If Da Jin is tired, why don't you rest for a while, this case is very involved, and I think that it will be difficult to detect it for a while......

"Hmm," Xie An nodded, and smiled bitterly, "I'll leave it to you here, and I'll go play a few games of chess with the old man...... Where's the old man? ”

Zhou Yi knew that the old man in Xie An's mouth was referring to Kong Wen, the Qing of the Great Prison Temple, and said with a chuckle, "Yesterday, Kong Dajin bought a bonsai, but he was not very satisfied with its appearance, and he was pruning the branches and leaves early in the morning......

"Hey! - That old man is leisurely! Xie An shook his head with a smile and was about to stand up, when he vaguely heard a commotion outside the second hall.

"Hey, you can't go in...... Hold it! - Stop her, a few of you! ”

"The slave maid wants to see Xie Dajin in a hurry, a few brothers are fine, let the slave and maid in......"

"My young secretary is busy with official business, in fact, you can see it if you want to? - Take her out! ”

"The slave and maid really have something urgent to inform Xie Dajin, and I hope that a few brothers will report it on their behalf......"

"You're really ...... this"

Listening to the faintly noisy things outside the hall, Xie An frowned slightly, stood up, and walked to the door of the hall, and from a distance, he saw several guards from the Great Prison Temple stopping a young woman dressed as an ordinary person, and the two sides were arguing about something.

Secretly glanced at Xie An's face, and seeing that he frowned slightly, Zhou Yi understood, deliberately coughed, and shouted loudly, "Hey! What's going on? ――In front of Shaoqing's big entry, Hugh is presumptuous! ”

The three guards turned their heads and saw Xie An and Zhou Yi standing on the steps of the second hall, their faces were shocked, and they clenched their fists and said respectfully, "Shaoqing Dajin, this woman has to break into my big prison temple, saying that she is going to see Shaoqing Dajin, and the small one is waiting for the good student to persuade her, but she insists on not complying, so she has a dispute with her......"

"See this officer?" Xie An looked at the woman in surprise and looked her up and down.

This woman, who seems to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, has a pink little face that is slightly red due to nervousness, blinking a pair of bright and energetic eyes, looking at Xie An with a little fear, and her appearance is very cute.

What made Xie An feel a little puzzled was that he felt as if he had seen her somewhere, and it was a little familiar...... Just when Xie An was secretly puzzled, the woman broke free from the guards, ran to Xie An with a kick, and asked hurriedly and nervously, "Does Gongzi Xie remember the slave?" - It's a slave, little peach......"

Mr. Xie?

Little Peach?

Xie An's face showed a little strange look, he looked the woman up and down for a while, shook his head and hesitated and said, "Forgive Xie for being clumsy, you are ......"

The cute-looking woman stomped her feet anxiously when she heard this, opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she seemed to be concerned about something, and said vaguely, "The slave is a little peach, has Gongzi Xie forgotten the slave?" ――A few months ago, the slave maid had seen Gongzi Xie once in the young lady's carriage...... That time, Mr. Xie had a big quarrel with the young lady, and left with his sleeves ......"

A few months ago?

On the carriage?

also had a big fight with her young lady and left with her sleeves?

The incomprehension in Xie An's eyes was even stronger.

In Jijing, there are only three women who have quarreled with him, one is his wife who is about to marry, Liangqiu Dance; One is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family in Nangong Mansion, Su Wan; And one more...... The eldest grandson Xiangyu!

By the way, she is the maid of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and she has seen it once in the carriage.

Thinking of this, Xie An suddenly realized, he finally understood why Xiao Tao refused to tell the guards outside the Great Prison Temple about his origin and identity, but wanted to break into the Great Prison Temple.

Obviously, it was the eldest grandson Xiangyu who privately sent her out to contact Xie An while she was under house arrest at home......

"How is your young lady doing right now?" As he spoke, Xie An waved his hand, and seeing this, Zhou Yi and the three guards retreated very interestingly.

Seeing these four people walking away, Xiao Tao shook her head and said in a low voice, "After the master brought the young lady back, he locked the young lady in the house and sent a number of guards to prevent the young lady from stepping out of the door......"

Although he had expected this matter for a long time, but hearing it with his own ears, Xie An couldn't help but sigh secretly, thought about it, and asked, "Did she send you to see me?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Tao nodded, untied the hair on her head, took out a note from inside, and handed it to Xie An.

Xie An was slightly stunned, took the note and glanced at it, sure enough, it was the handwriting of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but the words written on the paper made Xie An's face change greatly.

She ...... How is she now? ”

"Young Master Xie, Miss has two nights a day, no rice has been eaten, no glass of water has been drunk, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will ...... I'm afraid ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Tao couldn't cry.

Glancing at the words written on the note in his hand, Xie An took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "When you go back, tell your young lady that I will find a way to see her tonight, and tell her not to be rash!" - I'll talk about it when the time comes! ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Tao nodded when she heard this, tied her hair up, and after saluting Xie An, she turned around and left.

Looking at her departing back, Xie An tightened the note in his hand.

Late that night, around midnight, two black shadows flashed outside the walls of the Eldest Sun Shilang's Mansion at night.

In the hazy moonlight, it is not difficult to see that it is Xie An and Chen Bei.

Glancing at the small door behind the eldest grandson's mansion, Chen Bei sighed slightly and said, "Brother, are you sure you want to do this?" ”

Xie An showed a little embarrassment on his face, nodded and pleaded, "Uncle, please!" ”

"......" glanced at Xie An deeply, Chen Bei shook his head slightly, and then stepped on his waist, jumped up, and climbed the towering mansion wall with one hand, only to see him take a sharp breath, swing his body, and fly into the mansion, only to see Xie An stunned.

After a few breaths, only to hear a soft creak, the small door opened, Chen Bei stuck his head out of the door, and after glancing at the outside of the house, he glanced at Xie An and asked him to enter.

As Xiao Tao said, since the eldest grandson Xiangyu was captured back to the mansion, his father, Sun Jing, sent additional guards in the mansion to prevent his daughter from secretly escaping from the mansion at night, and now, these families have also caused some trouble to Xie An, but fortunately, he has his brother-in-law Chen Bei by his side.

What is Chen Bei?

That was when more than 100,000 Great Zhou troops came and went freely in the camp outside Hangu Pass, and at that time, Xie An sent more than 20,000 soldiers to patrol the camp and couldn't find his traces, not to mention these family members in the Changsun Jing Mansion?

"What house is she in?" Pulling Xie An to hide under a low tree in the courtyard, Chen Bei asked in a low voice.

Looking at the family members going back and forth in the distance, Xie An shook his head and said, "I don't know......"

"Wait here, go and explore for my brother!"

"Uh, hard work uncle......"

"Hmm!" In response, Chen Bei stood up, like a black light in the night, shuttling among the many families on duty.

Looking at his agility as if he had entered the realm of no enter, Xie An secretly sighed, if Jin Ling'er was able to enter and exit the camp of the Zhou army in the Western Expedition with his seamless disguise and impeccable ventriloquism, then Chen Ling did it simply with his agile skills.

Thinking of this, Xie An was terrified, he couldn't understand how he escaped from Chen Bei's hands in the first place.

By the skin of one's teeth?

Probably yes!

With Chen Bei's skill as an enemy, I am afraid that he will feel desperate if he enters anything, I can only say that Xie An's brother-in-law is not very clever in his brain, he can be called a martial arts wizard who has not been encountered in a century, the battlefield is invincible, and when he is a cameo assassin, he even has to be above Jin Ling'er, Xie An escaped from his hands twice, it can only be said that his fate should not be extinguished, luck!

And now, this can be said to be the strongest male in the world, but he accompanied Xie An to infiltrate the eldest grandson Jing's mansion and helped Xie An secretly meet with the eldest grandson Xiangyu, which is really a bit ridiculous.

I have to say that there is an uncle-in-law like Chen Bei, Xie An can be said to be lucky!

After about a stick of incense, Chen Bei returned to Xie An's side.

"Did you find it?" Xie An asked in a low voice.

Chen Bei nodded, lowered his voice and said, "There is a wooden building by the pool in the backyard, which is heavily guarded, and most of the people you want to find are here!" - Grit your teeth, hold your breath, and take you for my brother! ”

"Grit your teeth?" Before Xie An could understand, he saw Chen Bei grab his shirt and hold him up on his shoulder, if it weren't for Xie An subconsciously covering his mouth, he almost exclaimed.

Good guy, wind relaxation switch o ...... Carried by Chen Bei on his shoulder, Xie An only heard the wind whistling in his ears, and when he calmed down and looked around, he was shocked to find that Chen Bei Jingran jumped up to the wooden building with one hand on his shoulder, and he was so agile that even though there were dozens of guards downstairs, none of them noticed that something was wrong.

"It's here!" Putting Xie An down on the roof of the wooden building, Chen Bei squatted down, removed a few tiles, looked inside the house with Xie An, and asked in a low voice, "Is this here?" ”

"Wait......" Xie An looked inside the room, and suddenly saw Xiao Tao, who he had seen today, walking by, nodding again and again, and said in a low voice, "It should be here!" ”

Chen Bei nodded, carefully removed the tiles silently, and then took out a bundle of ropes from behind his waist, and said to Xie An, "Go down!" -- Brother is waiting for you here, if there is anything, call him brother! ”

"Yes! - This rope...... Isn't it tied? ”

"No, you don't!" Chen Bei smiled faintly, put down the rope, and then pinched the end of the rope with his right hand and looked at Xie An.

I have to say that Chen Bei is worthy of being a peerless fierce general who carried a saber weighing hundreds of catties to kill the enemy, but seeing him pinching the rope with one right hand, Xie An climbed down the rope, and the rope did not move at all, as if he was being dragged by the power of a thousand jun.

And just as Xie An was crawling along the rope into the house, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was lying on the bed in the middle of the house, looking at the books in front of him, only to see her supporting her cheeks with one hand, holding a red fruit in the other, gnawing with relish, and kicking back with her two bare feet.

Looking at her energetic appearance, where does it look like she hasn't eaten for two nights?

Suddenly, as if she had noticed something, she raised her head, and her eyes collided with Xie An, who was crawling down the rope.

"You ......" Gaining a firm foothold, Xie An looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu who was leisurely on the bed in a daze, and couldn't say a word angrily.

Even now, where would he not understand.

Pulling the rope and asking Chen Bei to take the rope back, Xie An took out the note written by the eldest grandson Xiangyu from his waist, held the note, looked at her angrily and said, "[If you don't come to see me again, you won't see me in the future!] - Really? ”

The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, blinked innocently.

At this moment, her personal maid Xiao Tao pushed the door and walked in, chuckling and said, "Miss, you called the chicken soup cooked in the kitchen......" Speaking of this, her voice stopped abruptly, because she found that Xie An had appeared in the house at some point, and was looking at her with an angry face.

"...... Gongzi Xie" closed the door, Xiao Tao timidly moved to the table step by step, put the bowl of chicken soup in his hand on the table, waved his hand, and whispered, "It's not a slave, it's not a slave, it's the young lady who called the slave and maid to say that......"

"......" Xie An glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu wordlessly.

The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, chuckled, "If it weren't for those guys, how could Brother An have come to see the slave family in a hurry......

Glancing at the eldest grandson Xiangyu and then at the little peach, Xie An was angry.

You know, he was worried about the eldest grandson Xiangyu for a while, but the result was good, the master and servant entered the second place, and Jing deceived him here.

Looking at Xiao Tao's cute appearance with a flushed face, Xie An shook his head and couldn't cry or laugh.

This is really a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam, what kind of master enters, what kind of maid there is...... Also, following the eldest grandson Xiangyu all day long, this maid named Xiao Tao will learn well to have a ghost!

How else to say that those who are close to Zhu Zered and those who are close to ink are black?

But...... It was really good at that time, and I burst into tears...... If it weren't for the fact that he saw the eldest grandson Xiangyu being good now, even more energetic than usual, Xie An really thought that something was wrong with this woman.

Seeing that Xie An didn't say a word, the eldest grandson Xiangyu also realized that he had gone too far, and pulled Xie An to the bed and sat down like a flattering person, and said Jiao Didi, "Brother An, don't be angry with Xiao Tao, she is also obedient to the slave family, if Brother An wants to punish her, ......" Saying, she blinked and said with a smile, "Just punish him for warming the bed for Brother An, how about Brother An?" - Hee-hee! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Xie An was dumbfounded, but Xiao Tao's face was even more red, his hands stirred the corners of his clothes, his head was lowered, and his face was full of shyness.

What is a warm bed?

As the name suggests, it is to use the body to warm the bed for the male protagonist, and the person in charge of this matter is basically the maid of a certain young lady, that is, a personal maid, just like Liangqiu Dance and Yiyi.

Earlier, when Xie An lived in the Donggong Mansion, whenever he was ready to rest, Yi Yi would warm the quilt for him in advance, although Xie An repeatedly said that he didn't need to do that, but Yi Yi still did that, because it was the duty of a concubine.

Maybe there is a mistake to think that the concubine is the [concubine] of the wife and concubine, but in fact it is not the case, the same as the wife, the concubine also belongs to the female protagonist of the family, but it is just a lower level than the identity of the wife, but the concubine is different, the concubine belongs to the servant, to put it bluntly, it is the maid who serves in the master bedroom, although the status is much higher than that of the ordinary maid in the family, but there is no official name after all.

Generally speaking, most of the women who serve as concubines are the personal maids of the female protagonist before marriage, and the fate of this life is closely related to the income of the female protagonist.

It is precisely because of this that the maid Xiao Tao can disobey the words of the eldest son of the house, Sun Jing, and also help her own young lady, Sun Xiangyu, and secretly contact Xie An, which is the relationship between the young lady and the personal maid in the Great Zhou family.

Glancing at Xiao Tao's slightly green body, Xie An hurriedly lifted up the words of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and said angrily, "Don't tear up the topic for me!" What am I mad at her for? To be angry is to be angry with you! - Didn't you tell her to do that?! ”

The eldest grandson Xiangyu was not in a hurry or annoyed when he heard this, he sat on the couch with his right leg bent, licked his lips, full of charm, and giggled, "Brother An is going to punish the slave family?" ――How should you be punished? ”

Right now, she is only wearing a thin shirt, and her two seductive legs are so clearly exposed to Xie An's eyes, and vaguely, Xie An can even see her red close-fitting coat, as well as the faint grass on her legs.

Damn...... Xie An only felt that there was a ball of hot air rising in his body, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had been lying on the couch for some time, and as far as he could see, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was half lying on his chest, and his white and tender right hand slowly stretched into Xie An's clothes.

Wherever her fingertips touched, Xie An had a wonderful feeling as if it was an electric shock.

Looking deeply at Xie An's slightly overwhelmed eyes, the eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled.

"Yes, the slave family is ...... approved"
