Qin Xiaoyue stood outside Ran Shaotang's door and knocked on the door: "Son, can the maid come in?" "After waiting for a while, there was no sound inside.

Qin Xiaoyue knocked twice, this time with more force, and the sound of calling the door also increased in volume, but there was still no answer inside.

She was worried that something would happen, so she dared to push the door in, the house was empty, and there was no Ran Shaotang for a long time.

Only one letter rested on the table, pressed under the vase.

Qin Xiaoyue chuckled in her heart, took out the letter, opened it and read it.

"Oh no, Childe is back to Gaoxi by himself."

Feng Rang heard Qin Xiaoyue's proclamation, took the letter and quickly scanned the words on it, and scolded: "Evil obstacles." Don't let the old man worry. ”

Qin Xiaoyue anxiously asked Feng Rang: "Sect Master, do you think you want to send someone to chase Gongzi back?" ”

She was worried that Ran Shaotang was out alone, no one was waiting for him, and he couldn't eat well and dress warmly.

But Feng Rang was worried about her life.

Although Xuanyuan Zheng is dead, the eldest princess is still alive and well. Shaotang has grown up now, and his appearance is becoming more and more iconic, even if he is dressed in men's clothes, his appearance is really eye-catching.

If she goes back like this, that Xuanyuan Xiang will definitely be suspicious, and maybe she will have to think of something to deal with Shaotang.

He didn't know why the kid reacted so abruptly after seeing the family letter, and he lost his mind, left a letter and left.

But he knew that Ran Shaotang was stubborn, and what she decided, the eight cows couldn't pull it back.

Feng Rang looked at Qin Xiaoyue, who looked uneasy, waved his hand, and said, "What kind of character you are as a master, don't you know?" She wants to go, can you chase it back? Forget it, she can go if she wants. You arrange for a few secret guards to catch up with her and protect her. ”

Qin Xiaoyue raised her head, her eyes burning: "I'm going too." ”

"What are you going to do? Didn't she tell you a lot of things to do in her letter? Listen to her. Even me, an old man, has to listen to her command and help her keep an eye on such a big mess. You keep me honestly. ”

Qin Xiaoyue still wanted to say something, Feng Rang stopped her and said: "Gaoxi is her home, she hasn't been back for five years, and now she just misses home and goes home to meet her family, nothing will happen." If you are really worried about her, send someone to send a letter to the old man to the Ran Mansion now. ”

Qin Xiaoyue had no choice but to comply.

Although Ran Shaotang left in a hurry, he arranged everything properly in the letter.

Including how to dispose of Left Rock Creek.

Including Sanqi's Qian Zhuang, Xie Yingyi's medicinal food workshop, Qin Xiaoyue's intelligence network, and even what time of day Zhong Jiu takes medicine and what he eats, she writes clearly.

Feng Rang wrote Ran Shaotang's return to Gaoxi into a letter and asked Qin Xiaoyue to send someone to leave.

Although it is possible that this letter did not arrive earlier than Ran Shaotang, Feng Rang concluded that with Shaotang's intelligence, she would not directly enter the eldest princess's sight like this.

At the very least, dress up.

His letter reminded the Ran family to prepare for Ran Shaotang in advance.

When Zong Zhengshen learned the news of Ran Shaotang's return to Gaoxi, he was discussing with Cheng Wei, who had traveled thousands of miles, about returning to Youzhou City.

Cheng Wei brought news that the mother of the eldest prince, the current queen, had successfully persuaded His Majesty to lift the ban on the eldest prince.

In other words, Zong Zhengtai, who is free of action, will be cautious about Zong Zheng at any time.

Zong Zhengshen must rush back with 5,000 men and horses to return to Emperor Zhou Rao, otherwise it is very likely that he will be stabbed in the back by Zong Zhengtai.

After Cheng Wei explained the relationship to Zong Zhengshen clearly, he hurriedly picked up a few mouthfuls of food to fill his stomach that had been hungry for several meals in a row, and glanced at Zong Zhengshen from time to time.

He heard clearly what Meng De came in to tell just now. couldn't help but secretly complain about Mengde.

How could he not sift through it and report the news directly to King Rui.

Obviously, Meng De has been mentioned many times, and the matter involving Ran Shaotang must be ranked after the national event.

Meng De is also a tendon, and he treats his words as a fart.

Meng De was serving soup to Cheng Wei, and suddenly felt that there was a gaze behind him cutting around his body like a knife, and he hurriedly looked back and saw Mr. Cheng staring at him while eating, with a bad look.

Meng De was puzzled, handed the soup in his hand to Cheng Wei, and asked, "What does Mr. Cheng mean?" What did the little one do wrong? ”

"If you know, it's good."

Meng De: "I don't know, please ask for advice." ”

Teach a fart.

"You don't need to be instructed, you are more capable than you are. Which is more important is better than the next. ”

Meng De was choked inexplicably, blushing and not knowing what to say.

Zong Zhengshen understood what Cheng Wei meant, and snorted and said, "Mr. doesn't need to refer to Sang and scold Huai, this king knows what you mean." Isn't this king thinking about it? ”

Cheng Wei put down his chopsticks: "What to consider?" What is there to consider? His Highness should put the big things first. If we don't rush back now, our hard work will be in vain. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Wei is even more heartbroken.

"After we have made an appointment to select the leader of the Xinglin Alliance here, we will set off as soon as possible to bring people to Your Majesty. Prevent the eldest prince from counterattacking. But His Royal Highness actually took 5,000 soldiers and horses and stationed them in Zhaoting. ”

Cheng Wei was angry, but because of his identity as a master and a servant, he didn't continue.

Zong Zhengshen also knew that he had missed an opportunity.

If he had done it before, he would not have condoned himself to make such a mistake.

However, because the person selected was Ran Shaotang, he hesitated.

He didn't want his father to see Shaotang.

I don't want Shaotang to face danger.

So, he excused himself to stay, but he kept thinking about what to do next in order to get the best of both worlds.

Cheng Wei obviously saw through Zong Zhengshen's thoughts, and sighed: "There is no double law in the world, and if you live up to it, you will be negative." The key is to come and go, His Royal Highness has to make a choice. ”

Zong Zhengshen was silent.

When Meng De heard this, he suddenly understood that Mr. Cheng was blaming himself just now for not telling His Highness the news of Ran Shaotang's return to Gaoxi.

However, even if he doesn't say it, others will say it. His Highness will always know.

This is not a question of whether he says or not, it is something that His Highness thinks about or not.

If he is focused on Ran Shaotang, no one can persuade him.

Cheng Wei knew Zong Zhengshen's temper very well, so he had to prescribe the right medicine and speak bitterly.

"Your Highness, have you ever thought that only when Your Highness is strong can you protect the people you want to protect. However, the enemy that Your Highness is facing now is too strong, and the slightest mistake will affect the people you want to protect. So, if you want to do it once and for all, it's best to get to that top position. ”

After speaking, he picked up the soup and drank it.

Zong Zhengshen only used a moment to make a decision.

"Meng De, you send a team of people to protect Shaotang secretly. Then, he ordered the army to march out tomorrow and return to Youzhou. ”

Cheng Wei drank the last sip of soup, and finally put down the big stone he was carrying in his heart.
