The rain became heavier and heavier at night, and it seemed that there was no need to stop, and in autumn, the temperature became colder and colder.

Cao Li and Xie Chengli drank warm wine in the tent, but the degree was too strong for a long time, and Xie Chengli was a little unaccustomed to it.

When Cao Li poured Xie Chengli a second cup, he was rejected by Xie Chengli, "Lord Cao, there are still some things to deal with later, and you can't drink more." ”

Cao Li smiled and put the wine back, "Lord Taifu is really hard, he comes out to do errands, and he has to deal with official business, but this also shows His Majesty's trust in Lord Taifu." ”

"Indeed, no matter what, we cannot live up to His Majesty's expectations."

After hearing this, Cao Li suddenly paused, and then asked with some hesitation: "Master Taifu, can I ask you a question?" ”

"My lord, excuse me."

"As far as I know, Lord Taifu used to be very interested in ...... I am not very satisfied with our Majesty, I don't know when Lord Taifu has been like this to Your Majesty, can you let me know what is the reason for such a change in Lord Taifu? ”

Cao Li's words are also very polite, if he is a different person, he will definitely take his words to His Majesty and refer to him well, of course, if the person in front of him is not Xie Chengli, he will not say this.

Xie Chengli was slightly stunned, to be honest, he was still quite unhappy that others made such an evaluation of Yan Feifei now, but he also knew that this was an excellent opportunity, a great opportunity to win over Cao Li for Yan Feifei.

"Lord Cao, I think you should also understand that I became Your Majesty's concubine when I was eighteen years old, when the court was still under the palm of Sun Tong, the young Majesty, firmly controlled by Sun Tong, did do some ridiculous things, I also sneered at His Majesty at that time, but the changes of Your Majesty in recent years, I believe that not only me, Lord Cao should also see it, I will not work for Your Majesty because of Your Majesty's favor, I will only because he is qualified to be a good emperor."

Cao Li originally knew that the county town would no longer be as indifferent to the current Yan Feifei as before, but he didn't expect Xie Chengli to be so satisfied!

However, he recalled everything Yan Feifei had done for Dayan during this time, but Cao Li felt that Xie Chengli was understandable.

"Hahaha, it's worthy of Master Taifu!" Cao Li laughed heartily.

Xie Chengli also knew that after this night, Cao Li should also think carefully about which side he should stand on in the future.

"Lord Cao's time is not too early now, I'll go back and rest first, if the weather is sunny tomorrow, we have to go into the mountain."

"Master Taifu, let's go back first, if there is anything needed, even if you ask for it, although this place is not as good as the house, some basic needs can still be guaranteed."

"In that case, then it's up to Lord Lao Cao to bother."

After Xie Chengli returned to his tent, he lit a candle, listened to the sound of rain outside, and read a book.

It wasn't long before he heard the sound of horses outside the tent, and then Kazekage walked in.

"Master, I'm back."

"Hmm."

"Master......"

Feng Ying just wanted to tell Xie Chengli that he had just found something, but he was stopped by Xie Chengli, "Go and change your wet clothes first, and I'll talk about it later." ”

Kazekage smiled and showed a mouthful of big white teeth, "Thank you, master." ”

Fengying was not a delicate little girl, she cleaned up very quickly, and it didn't take long for him to stand in front of Xie Chengli again.

"How? Is the situation still that bad in the mountains? ”

Kazekage's face also became solemn, nodded and said: "It's worse than expected, the heavy rain in the past few days has caused landslides, Yaoshan is a little fragile because of mineral mining, and now those mudslides have blocked all the roads into the mountain, if you want to enter the mountain, I'm afraid you have to find another way." ”

After Xie Chengli listened, his expression sank.

At the beginning, Xie Chengli hoped that this matter could be investigated as soon as possible, but he was afraid that there would be any accidents, and everything was going well, but rumors suddenly spread in Kyoto, blocking Cao Li's investigation, and now it was finally solved, but it encountered heavy rain for several days, this matter is not trivial, and if the investigation is clear one day later, Kyoto may be damaged one day earlier.

"What's the news coming from North County?"

Kazekage shook his head, "Our people are staring at Beijun, but no one from Sun Tong has come out to deliver the news, although I also think that Sun Tong is more likely, but so far, we really haven't caught Sun Tong's handle." ”

Xie Chengli stretched out his fingertips and gently tapped the table one by one, but his heart couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This matter may indeed be his preconceived idea, thinking that only Sun Tong is currently the most hostile to Yan Feifei, after the incident, the first person who comes to mind is him, but now Yan Feifei is the emperor of Dayan after all, I don't know how many people are eyeing this position, Yan Feifei is not just facing Sun Tong alone.

"You continue to investigate, the underground casino I asked you to investigate last time, as well as those that spread rumors before, this clue is very important, and it must not be broken."

"But ......"

"But what?"

"Master, how can I rest assured that I will leave you here alone? It's so dangerous here, we haven't found out who the secret person is, I'm really not at ease, can't the investigation be handed over to a few other secret guards? ”

Wind Shadow is different from other secret guards, Wind Shadow has been by Xie Chengli's side since he was a child, and he is like a brother, and it is not incomprehensible that Wind Shadow is so worried about Xie Chengli.

Xie Chengli sighed slightly, and said to Fengying with a smile: "Do you think you can beat me now?" One thing in the underground casino I think is very suspicious, hand it over to others to check, I don't feel at ease, but hand it over to you, don't think it's a good errand, I went to the underground casino that day, although it didn't take long, but I can also feel that there are many masters inside, you have to be careful. ”

Kazekage knew that he couldn't resist his master, so he had to agree, "Okay, then I'll leave for Kyori tomorrow." ”

"Well, remember to send more people to protect Fei'er."

"Yes, master."

After the wind shadow went down, Xie Chengli suddenly took out a jade pendant from his arms, if Yan Feifei was here, he would find that this jade pendant was very familiar.

The pattern carved on this jade pendant is the pattern of the jade pendant that Yan Feifei liked very much before, but compared to that piece, Xie Chengli's jade pendant is much better.
