On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Jiang Xiaoyu received a secret letter from Bai Siyuan and asked to meet Zhao Ling.

Jiang Xiaoyu has never inquired about Bai Siyuan's hiding place, only knowing that Bai Siyuan seems to have a special force protecting him in this capital, so even if he has been searched by the city guards for so long, he still has not found his traces, making people think that he has left the capital.

And what surprised Jiang Xiaoyu was that Bai Siyuan was hiding in the Yu family, and this Yu Sicheng was the commander of the city guard, no wonder the city guard army had been looking for so long in the capital and found nothing!

However, what makes Jiang Xiaoyu feel strange is that this Yu Sicheng Yu Commander only entered Beijing eight years ago, and it seems that he should not have any connection with his uncle! He has never had anything to do with the Bai family, so others will not think that he has anything to do with a person who has disappeared for ten years, and will even risk killing him to shelter him.

What made Zhao Ling feel frightened was another thing, in the capital, there were 20,000 Imperial Forest Army, responsible for the safety of the palace, and 50,000 people in the city guard, responsible for protecting the capital, echoing the Xiao Cavalry Battalion stationed outside the capital, and there were more than 3,000 patrol battalions, that is to say, if the City Protector had different intentions, it was actually an extremely dangerous thing, and the 20,000 Royal Forest Army might not be able to resist the Xiao Cavalry Camp to come to the rescue.

Although Zhao Ling was silent, he secretly gave birth to a little vigilance, although he knew that the purpose of Bai Siyuan and his people returning to Beijing was only to overturn the case and had no idea of rebellion, but they still had some precautions.

In a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, the fragrance of plum wafts in, and the courtyard is very elegantly arranged, and it is difficult to see that this will be the courtyard of a military general.

Bai Siyuan sat by the window in the back room, in front of him was a burning stove, next to a game of chess, he threw two orange peels into the stove, a burst of fragrance came, he heard the sound, smiled and waved his hand towards Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling.

"Uncle!" The two stepped forward to salute.

"Sit down!" Bai Siyuan said gently, as if he had seen through the doubts in Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling's hearts, "You guys are very surprised, I will hide here under Commander Yu?" ”

"Of course!" Jiang Xiaoyu said unceremoniously, "I didn't know that my uncle and Commander Yu actually knew each other, and my uncle had hidden it from me for so long, if I knew about it, I would be a little less worried about my uncle!" ”

Bai Siyuan smiled lightly and said: "Nine years ago, he was saved by Liu Ruli, at that time we were recuperating together, and he had a similar temper, so he taught him what he had learned, eight years ago he came to the capital, it was also smooth sailing, and he sat in his current position!" ”

"I see!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Uncle plans to use Commander Yu?" ”

Bai Siyuan didn't answer immediately, but glanced at Zhao Ling, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "There's no need for this now!" ”

If His Majesty and the eldest grandson's family hadn't developed to this point, could it be that the uncle planned to use the city guard? Does he want to deal directly with the eldest grandson's family or does he have other ideas?

Bai Siyuan glanced at Zhao Ling and asked with a smile, "What is the prince thinking?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! Zhao Ling shook his head and said.

"Do you remember the night you got married, I asked Xiaoyu? The Bai family is worthy of the world, worthy of the Jiangshan Sheji, and worthy of the Great Zhou, I will not do anything that disgraces the ancestors of the Bai family! Bai Siyuan said lightly, "The prince has any worries, and put it in his stomach!" ”

He paused and said: "This secret, you don't have to know, just seeing the trip to Mount Tai, just in these few days, I also have little time, even if Commander Yu is what I left to you, Commander Yu is loyal to the heart of the Great Zhou, you don't have to doubt, if it is not necessary, you don't have to contact him, although my time is running out, but I still hope that it will never be useful to Commander Yu!" ”

"Uncle ......"

Bai Siyuan raised his hand and said: "If you can knock down the eldest grandson family this time, the eldest grandson family rebels, and there are enough reasons to uproot it, so Your Majesty may not be willing to overturn the case for the Bai family as the first prince, so that his imperial career will be stained......

He glanced at Zhao Ling, and said: "Therefore, the best time is to be on Mount Tai and immediately ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter, so I must appear immediately after the elimination of the eldest grandson's family, so that Your Majesty will not have any chance to object!" There is no power I have in Taishan, so when the time comes, I am afraid that I need your help! ”

Before Zhao Ling could answer, Jiang Xiaoyu immediately said: "No, the trip to Mount Tai is too dangerous, uncle should choose a more secure method!" ”

Bai Siyuan shook his head lightly and said, "I have made up my mind!" ”

Zhao Ling hugged his fists and said, "Leave this matter to me!" He turned his head to Jiang Xiaoyu and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect my uncle and come back safely, and I will definitely take my uncle back to the capital together!" ”

"Although the trip to Mount Tai is dangerous, the capital is also full of dangers, Xiaoyu, you stay in the capital, you must be very careful!" Bai Siyuan said, "Let Xiaodong follow you, it's easy to dodge the open gun and the dark arrow is difficult to defend, Xiaodong can protect your safety!" ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed worriedly, "I hope everything goes well, and I hope we can reunite in the capital next year!" ”

Zhao Ling touched Jiang Xiaoyu's head and said with a smile: "Of course! ”

Leaving from Yufu, Zhao Ling saw Jiang Xiaoyu's worried appearance, and in order to comfort her heart, he said: "I estimate that the day Your Majesty will go to Mount Tai is these two days, and I have almost prepared things in Beijing, how about we go to Zhemei tomorrow?" The plum blossoms of the West Mountain are just right, last year you want to fold the plum blossoms, Shengsheng told me to misunderstand a fight, and the second child fought, tomorrow we will go again, it is a round of your wishes! ”

"You're embarrassed to mention last year!" Jiang Xiaoyu snorted, "It's you who want to see the plum blossoms!" ”

"Yes, I want to see plum blossoms!" Zhao Ling saw a smile on Jiang Xiaoyu's lips, "That's good, I will call Zhao Qian and Qiwen tomorrow, and it can be regarded as letting Qiwen come out to breathe, I heard Zhao Qian say that a child who used to like to run out so much now stuffs himself in the house all day long!" ”

"Good!"

After returning to the palace of the king of Chu, the king of Chu called Zhao Ling, as if there were some things that needed to be instructed. He didn't eat dinner, and was called to the palace by Emperor Zhou.

At night, Zhao Ling went to bed cold, stuck to Jiang Xiaoyu's vest, and held her in his arms.

Jiang Xiaoyu asked in a daze, "It's snowing outside?" ”

"yes!" Zhao Ling said in her ear, "It's a big snowstorm!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu muttered twice, didn't speak again, and fell asleep again.

Although there was a night of wind and snow, the next day it was just right, Jiang Xiaoyu got up early in the morning, was busy with work, and dealt with some things in the palace.

The sun outside was high, but Zhao Ling was still lying on the bed, Jiang Xiaoyu patted the quilt and shouted: "You can't get up when the sun is drying your buttocks, beware of my father teaching you again!" ”

"I didn't go home until the second half of the night last night, squint for a while, don't worry!" Zhao Ling smiled and pulled Jiang Xiaoyu into his arms, "I'll squint for a while, after these two days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to close my eyes!" ”

"Didn't I let you sleep, didn't you make an appointment with the King of Jin?" Jiang Xiaoyu patted Zhao Ling's chest and said.

"Let him wait!" Zhao Ling said, and fell asleep regardless of it.

After a while, sure enough, seeing that the subordinates of the Jin Palace's mansion came to urge, Zhao Ling got up contented at this moment and went to the appointment in good spirits.

Zhao Qian was already waiting impatiently at the gate of the city, and when he saw the carriage of the Chu Palace, he scolded from afar: "Zhao Ling, it is clear that you have made an appointment with me, but you have asked me to wait for a long time, what do you mean!" ”

Zhao Ling looked natural in the carriage, Jiang Xiaoyu opened the curtain of the carriage, and said with an apologetic smile: "I'm sorry, King Jin, Zhao Ling didn't return to the palace until he went back to the palace for half a night last night, so he rested a little more this morning!" ”

Since it was Jiang Xiaoyu who spoke, Zhao Qian couldn't say anything, and ordered the groom to drive.

Jiang Xiaoyu pinched Zhao Ling and scolded: "You have to make him angry before you give up!" ”

Zhao Ling grinned and took Jiang Xiaoyu in his arms, and said with a smile: "You bully people naturally to bully those who are easy to bully, don't go back to bully those who are not easy to mess with, right!" Zhao Qian is this kind of character, if you bully him a few more times, he will be happy! ”

The West Mountain is not far away, and it only takes an hour to arrive. It snowed all night last night, and the plains were white, but the hillside in front of me was blooming red, like a fire, which made people's hearts suddenly open up and give birth to a sense of pride!

The two cars were about to get on the bus, but they suddenly stopped, and the driver reported outside the car that there was a car from the eldest grandson's family in front of them, which was also going up the mountain.

Zhao Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Let them go up the mountain first, let's wait!" ”

Actually met someone from the eldest grandson's family, Jiang Xiaoyu had some doubts in his heart and asked, "How could it be so coincidental?" They can't be following us, right? ”

Zhao Ling just gave her a mysterious smile and didn't answer.

Jiang Xiaoyu knew in her heart that today's trip to Xishan to enjoy the plum blossoms was not Zhao Ling's temporary intention, but I was afraid that there were other purposes, she didn't ask any more, and said with a smile: "I just hope that it won't affect my interest!" ”

Zhao Ling pinched Jiang Xiaoyu's nose and said with a smile: "This is not for sure, it's a big deal to make up for you again next year!" ”

After about a cup of tea, the hill ahead was too steep to get out of the car and hike.

Lord Qiwen passed a big red cloak, saw Jiang Xiaoyu's figure, hurriedly stepped forward, held her hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Master, after so long, you won't come to see me!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu saw that Qiwen's face was much better, and said with a smile: "At the end of the year, there are always some things that need to be busy, and when I am done with this while, I will come to you every day!" ”

"Then we're done!"
