This winter, Zeng Rong and the others did not leave Hangzhou, on the one hand, the weather was too cold and not suitable for travel, and on the other hand, Zhu Heng's treatment had made new progress, and it was not suitable for bumping.

After half a year of repeated training, Zhu Heng's knees finally had pain when they were bent, but with this pain from weak to strong, Zhu Heng's pain and pain were gradually increasing, and after a treatment process, the whole person seemed to have a serious illness, unable to move, soaked all over, not to mention, even the lower lip was bitten several times. Later, Zeng Rong still couldn't see it, so he took a handkerchief and put it in his mouth.

Later, no matter how Zeng Rong pleaded, Lu Lang and Zhu Heng did not allow Zeng Rong to get close, saying that it would distract Zhu Heng and affect the treatment effect.

In addition to the pain in his knees, Zhu Heng's toes can also move, but they are still not very flexible, sometimes it takes some effort, and sometimes they can inadvertently move on their own with the help of ants.

What Zeng Rong can do is to serve him wholeheartedly, accompany him, and coax him.

There is no big kang in the winter in the south, so you can only burn a charcoal fire, not to mention Zhu Heng, even Zeng Rong is not very used to it, it is both damp and cold, which also has an impact on Zhu Heng's leg disease.

At Zeng Rong's suggestion, Qian Duo found someone to build a greenhouse for them in the back garden, the wall was a hollow fire wall, and a kang was also displaced, so that even if it was snowing outside, the house was as warm as spring.

However, if it was a sunny day, Zeng Rong would still push Zhu Heng out of the door, go for a walk on the edge of the West Lake, and sometimes stop on the broken bridge to watch the children playing on the ice; Sometimes I also look at the pavilions and pavilions hidden in the withered vines in winter, and the Leifeng Pagoda on the middle of the mountain that only has broken walls and ruins and is full of devastation.

Occasionally, they would wander around the antique market on the street, and if they were lucky, they could find some ancient coins or older wood or jade carvings, as well as a small number of bronze products.

When it's rainy or snowy, they don't go out, but just read books, draw pictures, and sometimes do some needlework.

In the afternoon of this day, it was time for Zhu Heng's treatment, Zeng Rong was kicked out again, because he couldn't bear to stay outside the door to listen to Zhu Heng's forbearant moans, Zeng Rong went out, and when he was thinking about making something delicious for Zhu Heng for dinner, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the bamboo forest in the backyard.

On a whim, Zeng Rong wanted to go to the bamboo forest to see if there were winter bamboo shoots, and this season was when the winter bamboo shoots were on the market, and she remembered a dish, winter bamboo shoots and duck soup.

So, Zeng Rong ordered someone to find a hoe and took Jiangnan and Jiangbei to the bamboo forest.

As soon as he arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest, Jiang Nan stopped, waved his hand at Zeng Rong and Jiang Bei, and pointed to a few footprints on the ground.

Zeng Rong looked at it for a while before he understood.

Because it had just snowed two days ago, the bamboo forest was in the shade, and the blood on the ground had basically not melted, so Zeng Rong and the others had a deep imprint when they stepped down.

But the footprints that Jiang Nan pointed out to them were very shallow, but from the impressions, the other party was a pair of big feet, and the weight of the person with these big feet must not be light, under normal circumstances, the footprints he stepped on would only be deeper than Zeng Rong's.

Now there is such an abnormal situation, there is only one possibility, the other party is a martial arts master, as light as a swallow, this footprint is inadvertently left by him, if it is not snow, others will never notice such a shallow mark.

Seeing that Zeng Rong understood what he meant, Jiang Nan motioned for Zeng Rong to leave and asked her to go back to find someone.

Zeng Rong nodded, turned around and left.

Back at the conservatory, Zeng Ronggang brought Jiangdong and Jiangxi, and Jiangnan and Jiangbei also came back, saying that the other party had already left, and there were still a few footprints in the bamboo forest, which should have been left by the other party.

From the analysis of the footprints left by the other party, it should be two people, most of them are secret guards with strong martial arts, it is not easy to hide during the day, so they can only hide in this bamboo forest, and by the way, they can also peek at Zeng Rong's movements.

Zeng Rong's face turned white when he heard this, "Oh no, then we are all under the surveillance of the other party these days." ”

Zeng Rong didn't say any extra words, he could guess without asking, they poured out the medicine scum twice in three days, and the person with a heart took the medicine scum to someone who knew how to ask them, so that they knew what they were doing.

"Don't worry, master, it's not necessarily a bad thing, maybe it's your own person." Koto was busy.

It turned out that according to the usual practice, when the prince leaves the palace, the emperor will definitely leave him a back hand, and this back hand is nothing more than a secret guard.

Zhu Heng's identity is different from that of ordinary princes, when he leaves the palace, not only will the emperor arrange secret guards, but it is also possible that the queen mother will also send two people.

As for why this secret guard didn't make a move when Zhu Heng was in distress the first two times, Jiangdong doesn't know.

"If it is really the Queen Mother or the Emperor's person, even if the other party has no time to save Zhu Heng, it should be possible to catch those bad guys for us, after all, we are in the light, and they are in the dark." Zeng Rong thought for a while and said.

If you catch those two groups of people, won't you know who is behind the scenes? In this way, isn't it once and for all?

Who knew that after Zeng Rong finished speaking, none of the four Jiangdong answered, Jiangdong found an excuse, saying that he would also look at those footprints, and Jiangnan went out with them.

After the four of them left, Zeng Rong thought for a while before he understood why these four people didn't answer her.

There is a possibility that the two secret guards discovered each other's whereabouts and found out the origin of the other party, but because of the identity of the other party, the queen mother or the emperor couldn't clean them up or didn't want to clean them up for a while.

It's also possible that the two guards didn't identify each other or let them escape.

No matter which it is, those two secret guards are people sent by the Queen Mother or the Emperor, and they are related to the royal family, so they naturally can't talk too much.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the other party is not the queen mother or the emperor at all, but the person sent by the family to plot against Zhu Heng, in this case, what they say is nothing more than to increase Zeng Rong's anxiety, which is useless.

About a stick of incense time, Jiangdong four came back, seeing that Zeng Rong was still standing under the eaves, Jiangdong saluted Zeng Rong, "Back to the master, we can't tell who the other party is just by a few footprints, these days, we will be more careful, and please don't worry too much." ”

"Yes, the master should go into the house, it's cold outside, and you're going to freeze when you turn around, and the son should be distressed again." Jiang Nan also chimed in.

"Got it, be careful yourself." Zeng Rong admonished.

After speaking, Zeng Rong seemed to think of something again, and said to Jiangdong: "In this way, which of you will go to the Qian family, find the second uncle, and ask him to find a few people to go to a few inns in Hangzhou privately to inquire if there are visitors from the capital, especially a few inns nearby, so don't show up." ”

Jiang Dong listened to the muttering for a while, and automatically asked for help.
