"Who are you? How did it get here? ”

Early in the morning, Zhu Youde, who had just finished practicing his morning exercises, looked at the strange man who suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and asked very vigilantly.

Now is the time of danger.

My father reminded me many times that if I saw a stranger appear, I must give an early warning in time.

There was no one else in the courtyard, facing the appearance of a strange man.

Zhu Youde instinctively raised his voice and asked who the other party was.

And the man dressed as a Jurchen, with a face full of flesh, also seemed to be startled.

"What do I ask you? Who are you? Zhu Youde knew that the courtyard here was very hidden. Generally, no one else will come, and the strange Jurchen in front of him is not a spy?

Zhu Youde looked at the other party vigilantly.

And the strange man also looked at Zhu Youde with a surprised expression.

Then, suddenly, I realized something, "Shiko, it's me." I'm Jiang Geng."

Listening to the familiar voice, Zhu Youde showed a puzzled expression.

"Uncle Jiang?"

Zhu Youde said in surprise.

"Well, it's me" The man quickly removed the camouflage from his body, revealing his original face.

Sure enough, it was Jiang Geng, no doubt.

"Uncle Jiang, why did you dress up like that just now? I thought it was a Jurchen spy who got in," Zhu Youde said with a puzzled expression.

"Oh. I just came back from an outside. I came back in a hurry just now, and I forgot to remove my disguise," Jiang Geng had an anxious expression on his face.

Zhu Youde thought that he was indeed in a hurry when he saw Jiang Geng just now, and rushed directly to the courtyard. Then he said, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"Oh, no, it's nothing" Jiang Geng replied a little unnaturally, and Zhu Youde was even more puzzled.

Jiang Geng changed the topic and said, "Why, there is no one else in the courtyard." When I came in just now, I didn't see anyone else. If it hadn't been for the prince to stop me, I would have been able to go straight into the house."

Jiang Geng's words, Zhu Youde solved his confusion for him.

"Father said that the Jurchens have been searching for us all the time recently. Therefore, he separated them all, so that they would not be caught in the net. My father also said that this is a private courtyard, and there are too many strangers who will attract the attention of others. Therefore, there is no one else but the original owner's house."

"Well, it's still the prince who thinks thoughtfully" Jiang Geng naturally understood these truths. Just to change the subject. Now, seeing that the prince no longer asked, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Geng, are you back?" Yin Xiaohei was coming out of the kitchen with breakfast, and happened to meet Jiang Geng in the courtyard.

"Is the prince up?" Jiang Geng asked.

"I've been up for a long time. I'm about to have breakfast," Yin Xiaohei replied.

Yin Xiaohei saw Jiang Geng's serious expression, and naturally understood that Jiang Geng had heard some news.

When I looked down, I saw the prince standing in the courtyard sweating profusely.

It's late autumn now, and there is a cool breeze in the morning and evening.

"Shizi, why are you like this, blowing the wind in the courtyard? Beware of catching a cold. Hurry back to the house and change into clean clothes," Yin Xiaohei urged.

Zhu Youde wondered in his heart, and always felt that the attitudes of Jiang Geng and Yin Xiaohei were very strange. But he didn't say anything, and went back to the house very obediently.

After the two princes opened, Yin Xiaohei asked Jiang Geng, "Did you hear the news of the princess?" ”

"Hmm," Jiang Geng nodded, "I found out the news and came back immediately." Let's go into the house and say."

Jiang Geng turned around and entered the house, followed by Yin Xiaohei.

"Lord Wang"

"Jiang Geng is back"

"Yes, Lord Wang"

"Have you heard any news about the princess?" The True King asked.

"Lord Wang, the City Lord's Mansion has recently sent a lot of additional manpower, and his subordinates have not entered the City Lord's Mansion."

"As expected," the True King did not have any surprises.

"However, my subordinates got some news. It's just ......" Jiang Geng secretly looked up at the true king.

Yin Xiaohei had discovered from just now that Jiang Geng had something difficult to say. Now that he saw that Jiang Geng was still spitting in front of the prince, he was even more puzzled, what did Jiang Geng find out about the princess this time, what did he find out that made him so difficult to speak?

"But what?" The true king Zhu Xi finally looked at Jiang Geng seriously.

It was rare for him to see Jiang Geng so stumbling, there must be something, he felt that it was not good to tell him.

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say that. Did something happen to the princess? ”

"No, Lord Wang, the princess is fine," Jiang Geng hurriedly denied.

"Then you don't have to scruple about it, just say it"

"Yes, Jiang Geng, you have been with the prince for so many years, what can't you say directly? I see you like this, I'm so anxious" Yin Xiaohei and Jiang Geng have been by the True King's side for a long time, and they are of the same age, so they are naturally very familiar with each other.

Jiang Geng's abnormal reaction, Yin Xiaohei didn't care too much about it, and now he wonders if something bad has happened.

Seeing that Jiang Geng was still dying and spitting, Yin Xiaohei also became angry.

Jiang Geng raised his head and glanced at Yin Xiaohei, didn't he want to speak directly?

However, he didn't dare to say anything about the news he heard.

Did you tell the prince when you entered the door that your wife was having an affair with another man?

Not to mention, this matter is hearsay, not seen with your own eyes. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, Jiang Geng didn't dare to tell the prince directly. He was also afraid that the prince would do some dangerous things because of jealousy.

After all, they're in Blackwater right now. Hiding here is to avoid the search of the Jurchens. If you're not careful, you'll lose everything.

Some time ago, wasn't the sacrifice of those brothers in vain?

The more Jiang Geng thought about it, the more he didn't dare to speak easily. Therefore, it seems that he is afraid of wolves and tigers.

But Jiang Geng didn't know that the more different he was from usual, the more he could attract the attention of others. What's more, he is still a smart master like the true king.

Sensei said, Jiang Geng has changed a lot before and after, just a dodge in his eyes and flickering in his words, he can guess the abnormality, how can such a sensitive true king not see Jiang Geng's abnormality?

"Jiang Geng"

The prince's obviously raised tone already indicated that his patience had reached the brink of collapse.

So, Jiang Geng gritted his teeth and said, "When my subordinates went out this time, they found that there were many Jurchen soldiers on the street. Therefore, he deliberately disguised himself as a Jurchen hunter. Although he did not enter the City Lord's Mansion, he saw the princess with his own eyes. But the subordinates found out that there was a cook in the city lord's mansion who was sick at home, so the subordinates found the cook who was sick at home and asked for some news of the princess."

"Hmm" The True King didn't say anything else, meaning to let Jiang Geng continue to speak in one breath.

Yin Xiaohei was also on the side, looking at Jiang Geng with encouraging eyes.

Jiang Geng had no choice but to continue: "According to what the chef said. The City Lord's Mansion did come to a noble man recently. Although he has not seen it. But the lord of the city specially asked people to come to the kitchen to greet them, and asked them to cook with their hearts, saying that the mansion was going to entertain distinguished guests."
