Pick more? Although Zhang Xu was a little surprised by Chu Jiangli's good appetite, he also felt a little happy because of it. Only those who are willing to be motivated will have good development, and now it is obvious that Chu Jiangli is the one who falls in love with progress.

"Okay, you come with me." happily agreed to Chu Jiangli's request, and Zhang Xu took her to the study in the front yard.

As soon as he entered the study, Chu Jiangli opened his mouth wide in surprise. This can still be called a study, it is clearly a small book expo. Not to mention that there are bookshelves everywhere, they are still classified and marked on each shelf.

"Miss Chu, this is the prince's study, you can take a look at it, if you have any books you need, it doesn't matter if you take them together." For Chu Jiangli's surprise, Zhang Xu had already guessed it. Anyone who comes here for the first time will be amazed by the sheer volume of books here.

Being reminded by Zhang Xu like this, Chu Jiangli immediately woke up, and immediately blushed a little about the gaffe he had just made. It's not that she doesn't have knowledge, but she can't imagine that the classification layout here is similar to the layout of a modern library. At first glance, it is normal to lose your mind when you see something familiar.

"yes, okay." With a simple response, Chu Jiangli left Zhang Xu's side and wandered between the bookshelves. It's really a shame that the books here have already been sorted and put away, otherwise with the amount of books here, even if she spends a month here, she may not be able to find the books she needs.

Zhang Xu saw Chu Jiangli excitedly looking for the book, so he walked to the low desk on the side and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and quietly watched her walk around there.

Chu Jiangli didn't notice Zhang Xu's movements at all, she just wandered between the various bookshelves, picking out the books she needed. But Chu Jiangli has had such a bad problem since she was a child, that is, as long as she sees something she is interested in, she will first take it and study it for a period of time, and then ignore the job she should have done.

And now, this bad problem of hers has recurred.

When Chu Jiangli passed by the medicinal material counter, he somehow swept away, and suddenly saw that among the many books, there was an old book that was extremely worn. Compared to the fact that there are almost seventy percent new books around, this seventy percent old book seems to be a little out of place.

If you doubt, you will be curious. If you are curious, you want to find out.

Cautiously glancing in Zhang Xu's direction, Chu Jiangli didn't know why he suddenly felt weak. Seeing that Zhang Xu was looking at him, he had to smile at him first, and then turned to the battlefield and went to the other side to check if there were any books he needed.

However, since he saw the worn-out book, Chu Jiangli has been thinking about it and wants to take it down and check it out. Absentmindedly flipping through the bookshelf in front of him, Chu Jiangli tried hard to think of a way, wanting to let Zhang Xu leave for a while.

I don't know if God suddenly woke up, just when Chu Jiangli didn't know what to do, Bai Yiwen suddenly rushed in and shouted to Zhang Xu very nervously: "Lord Zhang, I just ......"

"Shh Before Bai Yiwen could say anything, Zhang Xu immediately put his index finger to his lips and made a booing motion. Then he glanced at Chu Jiang and reminded Bai Yiwen that she was also here.

Sure enough, after seeing Chu Jiangli, Bai Yiwen immediately stopped and said, "Lord Zhang, please take a step to speak." ”

Zhang Xu glanced at Chu Jiangli, and Chu Jiangli immediately turned his head, pretending to be very serious about selecting the book, not paying attention to the things on their side at all.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Xu was very happy with Chu Jiangli's reaction, and then he called: "Miss Chu, you choose the book slowly, I'll go out first." ”

Chu Jiangli was eager to let Zhang Xu out, and at this time, his wish came true, so he showed his head slightly, and said with a comfortable face: "Okay, Master Zhang go slowly." After speaking, Chu Jiangli immediately retracted his head and continued to rummage through the bookshelves seriously.

Zhang Xu stood up, followed Bai Yiwen out of the study, and after being a little farther away, he let go of his relaxed expression, turned to look at Bai Yiwen with a solemn face, and asked, "What did you inquire?" ”

Bai Yiwen will be so anxious, then it will definitely not be a trivial matter. Maybe the firearms battalion is already in chaos.

Bai Yiwen, who also had a solemn face, had more impatience than Zhang Xu, and there was also some panic that I didn't know what to do: "Lord Zhang, when I first arrived at the firearms camp, I found that there was no one inside. I inquired around and found out where the eleventh prince had sent a large group of men and horses to arrest all the people before a stick of incense. ”

"What?" At first glance, when he heard Bai Yiwen's report, Zhang Xu exclaimed in disbelief. Then, I didn't know whether to be angry or anxious: "Eleven princes, he ...... Arrested all the people in the firearms camp? ”

With a hint of hope, Zhang Xu asked cautiously.

"Hmm." Bai Yiwen nodded lightly, and gave Zhang Xu a bigger impact: "Moreover, the eleventh prince not only captured all the craftsmen in the firearms camp, but also detained all the officials and soldiers. Even the Minister of Palm Seal Protector was invited by him. ”

"What ?!!!"

Zhang Xu has been shocked by the news that has come one after another, and he has lost his usual calmness and steady.

However, although the firearms battalion is mainly responsible for the manufacture of firearms, it also has a duty, which is to serve as the guard of the Beijing Division. Now that the Eleventh Prince has captured all the people in the firearms battalion, it is equivalent to directly emptying the vigilance force of the entire Beijing Division. In other words, today's capital is like missing eyes and ears.

"This eleventh prince is really ...... It's really ......" Zhang Xu tried hard to find a word to express his anger at this time. But no matter how much he searched his stomach, he couldn't find a suitable word.

Seeing Zhang Xu angry like this, Bai Yiwen didn't know what to do. Even if he was just a small palace guard, he knew how serious this matter was. So he was really strange, why would the eleventh prince make such a fool: "Lord Zhang, what should we do now?" ”

"What to do?" Zhang Xu was still angry, and his tone was naturally not good. Correspondingly, he couldn't comprehend the meaning of Bai Yiwen's words for a while.

Knowing that Zhang Xu was anxious about the safety of the capital, Bai Yiwen would not mind his attitude, and still patiently explained: "Lord Zhang, don't forget, Lord Shu is also a member of the firearms battalion. He's ...... now."

"That's right!" Being reminded by Bai Yiwen like this, Zhang Xu immediately reacted, and suddenly wanted to stomp his feet even more anxiously: "Lord Wang, he cares so much about Lord Shu, if he knows about this, he may do something, what can I do?" ”

After thinking about it and not thinking about it, Zhang Xu began to grind in the yard, walking around and not knowing what to do. Bai Yiwen also had a sad face, just standing there thinking alone.

So, when Chu Jiangli chose the books she needed and walked out of the study, she saw such a picture.

Even if he didn't know what was going on, based on the reaction of these two people, Chu Jiangli could roughly guess that something must have happened that was difficult to solve. Otherwise, he would not have let him rise and fall in the officialdom for so many years, and Zhang Xu, as the official of the imperial history, showed such an embarrassed expression.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Jiangli opened his mouth and shouted, "Lord Zhang." ”

Hearing someone call him, Zhang Xu also stopped, turned to look at the location at the door of the study. When he saw the stack of books that was so big in Chu Jiangli's arms, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. This Chu girl really has a big appetite.

However, it's good to be studious.

Seeing Chu Jiangli walking towards him, Zhang Xu also took two steps forward and asked, "Miss Chu, have you chosen all the books?" ”

"Well, almost." Chu Jiangli nodded and said, "I picked out the most important ones first, and the rest will be said after I finish reading these." ”

After listening to Chu Jiangli's words, Zhang Xu suddenly felt a little dizzy. Secretly looked at the book that reached the height of her chin again, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. With so many books, can she really digest and absorb them in a short period of time?

Looking at Zhang Xu's somewhat speechless expression, Chu Jiangli also understood what he was doing, so in order not to let him continue to ask, he first raised his question: "By the way, Lord Zhang, I just saw that you seem to be in a little anxious, is something happening?" ”

"Huh? This ......" Zhang Xu paused, quickly filtered through what he could say in his mind, and then said: "I just got the news that the prince's cousin was implicated in a case. We are wondering if we should tell the prince about this. ”

Implicated?

Regarding Zhang Xu's expression, Chu Jiangli didn't dare to agree. Implication is implication, even if he did not do it personally, but since he can be implicated, there must still be a little bit of a relationship. What's more, if this matter really has nothing to do with him, why should they bother with whether to tell their prince about it.

"If there is anything you can't tell, just by virtue of your identity as the prince of your family, it must not be difficult to intervene in the investigation of the case and be innocent." Deliberately taking out a puzzled tone, Chu Jiang was tentatively half-truthed and half-false.

If it was in normal times, Zhang Xu might still be able to hear the tentative meaning in Chu Jiangli's words. But who made him just confused by the successive news, so when he heard her say this, he could only sigh helplessly and quietly: "If we can, we don't have to be embarrassed." Eleven Princes...... It's just, it's just a mess! ”

Eleven Princes? From Zhang Xu's words, Chu Jiangli sensitively drew two important information.

First, it was the eleventh prince who arrested Shen Junyu's cousin, so given that both sides were siblings, Shen Junyu was not easy to interfere with. Second, since it is called chaos, the implication of this matter must be not small. If it is a small case, no matter how messy it is, it will not let Zhang Xu have such an expression.

That...... What's going on?
