A few days later, Liang Twelve and his entourage successfully arrived at Jinyiwei's stronghold in Liangzhou.

As soon as he got off the horse, Liang Twelve went straight to Xiao Jingchen's study: "Master, this is given to me by Ma Bo." ”

Xiao Jingchen took the letter, opened it and read it, then walked to a table covered with a map and looked at it carefully.

Liang Twelve stepped forward to look at the map, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Master, the map of Shenwu Mountain and Moon Mountain has been drawn, and the speed is quite fast." ”

Xiao Jingchen looked at the map silently for a long time, already had a plan in his heart, turned his head and asked, "How is the situation in Yulin County?" ”

Liang Twelve said: "Everything is normal, master, when are we going to clean up the bastards in the Dark Pavilion?" ”

Xiao Jingchen said: "The time is ripe. ”

Liang Twelve scratched his head, wondering when the time was ripe.

However, his grandfather has always spoken like this, so he doesn't ask much, and he won't get any other answers if he asks anyway.

After finishing talking about the matter, Liang Twelve began to gossip: "Master, guess who I met at the contact point in Qingzhou City two days ago?" ”

Xiao Jingchen didn't raise his eyelids, sat down in front of the chessboard on the low couch, and picked up the chess pieces as if he hadn't heard of them.

Liang Twelve leaned over: "Master, what do you mean by going down by yourself?" Why don't I accompany you for two sets? ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes and looked at him: "How many steps can you take?" ”

Liang Twelve smiled wryly, and no longer mentioned the stubble of playing chess, saving himself from humiliation.

Xiao Jingchen held a white child in one hand and a black child in the other, leisurely and complacently went up and down on the chessboard, and saw that Liang Twelve had not moved for a long time, and said, "Who are you seeing?" ”

Liang Twelve reacted and hurriedly continued: "Lin Ruan, that girl, I was dressed in disguise, and the mask I wore was exactly the same as before, and she actually recognized me at a glance." Master, why do you think that girl's eyes are so poisonous? ”

Xiao Jingchen dropped down and raised his eyes to look at him: "Isn't it because you are too failed in disguise?" ”

Liang Twelve hurriedly shouted injustice: "Then where can I be, Zhang Wei and they didn't recognize me." ”

Zhang Wei is a brocade guard under Liang Twelve.

Xiao Jingchen crossed this stubble and asked, "Why did she go to the contact point?" ”

Liang Twelve cheekily sat down on the couch opposite: "I said that I wanted to buy a house nearby, and I just asked about our contact point, and Ma Bo also said that he wanted to let the dog bite her." Master, do you think this is too much of a coincidence? ”

Xiao Jingchen didn't speak, turned around and pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and threw it to the opposite side of the chessboard.

Liang Twelve picked it up with a puzzled look on his face and opened the piece of paper. A small piece, fully unfolded, was as wide as two palms, and a dense piece of paper was written on it in small block letters.

After reading a few sentences carefully, I found that it was actually some of Lin Ruan's movements in recent days. Even the reason why she was there at the point of contact was investigated.

"Master, did you find someone to spy on that girl?"

Liang Twelve looked like he had found his soulmate, "Master, do you also think that girl is not quite right?" How could an ordinary peasant girl be so bold to go into Shenwu Mountain? It was so coincidental to save you, and he knew so many things in the dark pavilion, and the telescope, is that what ordinary people can do? ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his head and glanced at him lightly: "When did I say that I was spying on her?" ”

Liang Twelve hurriedly said: "Then how could there be this?" ”

Xiao Jingchen put down the chess pieces in his hand: "Although there are indeed some things in her that can't be explained, there is nothing wrong with that girl's motives." I was looking for someone to follow her, just worried that someone would be bad for her. The matter of the telescope has already aroused the sideways glances of several princes, and the King of Chu will also receive news sooner or later. ”

Liang Twelve was surprised: "So master, are you secretly protecting her?" ”

Xiao Jingchen nodded, his eyes kept staring at the chessboard: "This is also the meaning of the saint, that girl is of great use, and she must be protected." ”

After speaking, he picked up another white piece and landed on the chessboard: "That house in Qingzhou City, let Ma Bo hang it out and sell it, and the contact point will be changed to another place." ”

Liang Twelve should get down and get up to leave.

Xiao Jingchen put the chess pieces back in the box, plain white and slender, with big hands with distinct knuckles, very good-looking, every movement was like a painting.

Stand up, walk over to the table with the map, and continue researching.

As far as he knew, the girl was very worried that the people from the Dark Pavilion would go to Shenwu Mountain, so she didn't even dare to put the slaves she bought on the mountain.

It's time to eradicate this dark pavilion.

Xiao Jingchen's eyes staring at the map flashed a hint of darkness.

And the other side.

Lin Ruan only stayed in Qingzhou City for two days, and after making sure that Xiuxiu had adapted well in Baicaotang, he returned to Linjia Village.

The day she had agreed with Mrs. He to deliver the fruit was approaching, so she had to hurry back and get ready.

As soon as they entered the yard, Lin Ruan exchanged a few words with Rhubarb, and then ran to the backyard to see her sweet potatoes.

It has been six or seven days since it was planted, and all the sweet potato vines have survived, and now the sweet potato seedlings are all vibrant.

It seems that the name of one of the best crops of this sweet potato is by no means false, it can really be grown anywhere, and there is not much requirement for water and soil.

Just like before, before Lin Ruan used his ability, he had to check his surroundings. Originally, he was just used to being cautious, just like a routine security check, but who knew that this time, Lin Ruan actually found a person hiding among the layers of branches in the woods.

This person, Lin Ruan is quite familiar, he has seen it by Xiao Jingchen's side before.

Xiao Jingchen is looking for someone to spy on her? Why?

Lin Ruan's heart was a little nervous, and he thought carefully about whether he had used his abilities these days. Fortunately, she has been running around Xiuxiu and looking for a house for the past few days, and she has no time to go up the mountain, and her abilities have been accumulated for several days, and she feels a little uncomfortable.

It's just that this person, when did he start spying on her?

Lin Ruan quietly withdrew his ability, stood up from the edge of the vegetable field, turned around and went out to the wasteland.

During the whole process, she behaved very normally, even the person who monitored her, and she didn't notice anything wrong, and she didn't know that she had been exposed.

This side of the wasteland is in full swing.

Tian Dazhuang saw Lin Ruan coming, so he put down his hoe and came over to report the progress to her.

He brought forty men over, and every morning at dawn they went to the fields and began to work, and after lunch they had eaten for half an hour, and then they continued to work until it was dark, and after supper they went home together. The next day he continued to be busy, very diligent, and no one was lazy.

In six or seven days, they had cultivated an area of about 20 acres.
