"This man's refusal to reveal his true colors, and his preference for a long sword, which he is not good at, even the weapons used in the assassination prove that he is good at disguise, but no matter which side he is, there is no doubt that he wants to destroy the federation of the two countries."

Xiao Huai'an's words sound like a justification, but it makes people feel even more like they are getting rid of the mud, so that Xu Rulie and Youzhizhu can't get any benefits. However, his words vaguely evoked a trace of Xu Ruru's previous memories.

"Moreover, when this person was fighting, Weichen accidentally cut his thigh with the back of his knife, even if he didn't have time to march and capture this person in the palace, I think that as long as the guards and searches around the city gate are strengthened, this person can be successfully arrested, and then it will be clear which side of the wolf ambition is."

When the words landed, Xu Ruru suddenly became a little nervous, and unconsciously wanted to stand up, but this time she asked Su Jiao's identity to be reversed and pulled people down.

"What are you doing, in this situation, what are you doing, then you can't poke people in the back, you still clearly told me to calm down before, why can't I sit still this time, is there something wrong?"

Fortunately, the emperor is still an understanding person, and with the assistance of Xu Ruzhu, who is not an enemy or a friend, Su Jiao naturally doesn't have to worry about Xiao Huai'an's situation at the moment, but Xu Ruru will suddenly be unable to sit still, which is really confusing.

Xu Ruru pursed her mouth, and the specific things were difficult to explain, so she had to stabilize them for the time being, leaned over to Su Jiao's side, and whispered, "I met a friend before, and he also knows a little trick, I'm worried that something will happen to him, so I want to go and see." ”

"What's the matter, there are more people who can do tricks, and it doesn't have to be such a big crime today, but it just hit that person, and the people the princess knows are also going to come up to perform tonight?"

Su Jiao said casually, but after thinking about it, she vaguely noticed that Xu Ruru's words were very informative, so she asked unconsciously, Xu Ruru's face was slightly stiff, and she nodded dumbly.

"Well, and it's in this group, but I don't recognize it now."

If you are not a face-blind patient, how could you not recognize it, Su Jiao gasped unconsciously, suddenly felt a chill on her back, and hurriedly turned her head around to take a look, so as not to hear the conversation between the two of them.

Especially glanced at Zhou Hongyan more, but Zhou Hongyan should be intoxicated with admiring the bracelet in her hand, and glared impatiently when she noticed Su Jiao's gaze, as if she was reprimanding silently.

Su Jiao turned around with a smile, lowered her voice and instructed Xu Ruru, "In this case, princess, just tell me about it, don't tell others again, just act as if you haven't seen any outsiders tonight, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"I naturally understand this." Xu Ruru raised her chin slightly and nodded, and subconsciously said, making Su Jiao stunned, unconsciously a little happy.

"In this way, the princess trusts me so much, and I am really flattered."

"What are you thinking, this princess won't like you. It's just that it's not annoying. Listening, Xu Ruru's face flushed slightly with embarrassment, snorted lightly, and sat back.

After that, due to the troublemaking of the assassins, this banquet was a high-profile opening, the shame ended, the emperor announced the dissolution of the meeting sullenly, and the officials retreated one after another.

"But what you say, is it true?" Xiao Huai'an raised his eyebrows, at first he only thought that someone was deliberately hiding this soft sword for assassination during the performance, but he didn't expect that this assassin suddenly squeezed in from outside.

"Naturally, it's true, the princess told me herself, can it be fake? If I hadn't asked the princess what she had seen when she left, I wouldn't have believed that the rabbit that the assassin had sent was still in the princess's palace. ”

Su Jiao sighed, she had to rejoice, this assassin was still a little moral, and the princess found out in the middle of the middle, and he was able to calmly fool the past.

Xu Ruru, this little girl, is also bold enough, she is really protected in the palace so well, she is not afraid of strangers at all, and she didn't even reveal a word after she came back, fortunately she asked to understand, otherwise she would have to hide it in the dark.

"To manage the candidates for the performance in the palace, although the group of dancers around the Lord of Peony County is provided by the mission, they will also be inspected by the Ministry of Rites and registered."

Saying that, Xiao Huai'an lowered his head and thought about it, pulled Su Jiao to the path next to the flower bed and hid for a while, and saw that Li Shangshu and his wife were behind Shanshan who was late, so he stepped forward.

"Today's incident, he boasted of being both civil and military, and as a result, he could even let an assassin go, but he was afraid that he would ...... in the future."

"Lord Shangshu."

Li Shangshu was gloating and talking bad about people behind his wife's back, when he suddenly heard the voice of Xiao Huai'an, the main master, who almost didn't scare him, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately raised his voice in anger and scolded him angrily.

"Lord Xiao has always been used to being domineering, don't you know the truth of not listening to incivility, what is the matter with your class suddenly appearing?"

When the words landed, Mrs. Li also noticed that Li Shangshu's reaction was a little excessive, and gently pulled his sleeve, and then helped to play the round, "Lord Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are so interested, this banquet has ended, why haven't the two of you left the palace yet?" ”

Hearing this, Su Jiao smiled and politely returned the salute to Mrs. Li, so Xiao Huai'an temporarily held his patience and asked as politely as possible.

"It's just that there is something unclear, and my heart is depressed, so I came to ask Lord Li for verification, I don't know if Lord Li still remembers the performance of Lord Peony, how many people did she bring in to accompany the dance?"

"Taoism pays attention to ninety-nine to one, so naturally there are nine dancers to accompany the county lord. What do you mean by this, Lord Xiao? Could it be that you still think that today's changes were deliberately contributed to by this official? ”

Li Shangshu is naturally extremely capable, otherwise he would not be able to sit in this position, and he can remember the details clearly, but after subconsciously answering, he became angry again.

Not to mention that Xiao Huai'an is so intentional to ask, it really makes people have to think about it, it was a matter before, and he has always kept it in mind because of Xiao Huai'an's relationship with Xiao Huai'an. Xiao Huai'an is coming over again now, isn't that equivalent to hitting the muzzle of Li Shangshu's gun in a bad mood.

"This official doesn't mean this, Lord Li doesn't need to think about it, but Lord Li still remembers how many people were around the county lord when he performed just now?"

Xiao Huai'an said, Li Shangshu immediately turned his head and did not answer, mainly because he couldn't think of it, and seeing that several people didn't have an accurate answer, Su Jiao took the initiative to speak.

"I'm sorry, I just counted it on purpose, it's exactly ten people, after the assassin left, there was just one left to save people, if Lord Shangshu doesn't believe it, ask someone to count it at this moment, you can know the truth or falsehood."

"Lord Xiao and Mrs. Xiao suspect that this person deliberately came in, but my family is before the banquet starts. In particular, people should pay attention to the inventory, and such a thing will never happen. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Li helped to defend with a slightly gloomy face, but Master Li had a thoughtful expression.

"Someone fished in troubled waters and sneaked in, he just didn't want to know with others, and it was reasonable that Lord Li didn't know, the official just wanted to ask the lord about something, before the banquet began, there was any suspicious person who came to talk to the adult."

Xiao Huai'an naturally knows that although Li Shangshu has always been pretentious, he will not do this kind of thing of eating inside and outside and colluding with foreign parties, and now he is waiting for Li Shangshu's answer, and he may be able to find a breakthrough.

However, Li Shangshu thought for a long time, but still found nothing, and by the way, he grabbed Mrs. Li, who almost wanted to answer. "No, but the lower official can be sure that this person did not come in from the hands of the lower official, today's banquet was already chaotic, maybe the guards and eunuchs guarding the small corner gate were not careful, and it is not impossible for someone to come in."

"Your Excellency......" Mrs. Li gently took Master Li's hand, and she didn't know what she wanted to say, so she gave him a look and glared back. What does the woman know, but she didn't close her mouth quickly, and the province delayed Lord Xiao's case. ”

Li Shangshu is not a professional actor in the end, such an obvious attempt to hide can be seen by everyone, but he is so unwilling to cooperate, which is really a big obstacle to his investigation.

"In that case, the official won't bother much, Lord Li and Mrs. Li will walk slowly." Xiao Huai'an narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the two people, and politely made way for them.

Su Jiao waited for them to drift away, then stomped her foot indignantly, "The cure must be cured from the root, if there are assassins mixed in, why should you blame you for not protecting them well, don't these people deliberately put people in and don't need to punish them." ”

"Besides, what kind of character is this Lord Li, who he supports and who wants to defend whom, it's not clear at a glance, it's no different from a thief shouting to catch a thief."

"If you have something to say, you just need to know it in your heart, you don't have to say it, it's easy to fall into your mouth. Luckily, no one saw it here, but after today's incident, you will have to be more careful in the next few days. ”

Xiao Huai'an gently patted Su Jiao's back, today he was on the cusp, but he didn't expect that she was the one who reacted the most, but it made him feel a little inexplicably happy.

Su Jiao pursed her mouth, knowing his worries, so she had to swallow all the sullenness first, and held Xiao Huai'an's hand very easily. Xiao Huai'an was stunned for a moment, and almost let go of the person with a shake of his hand, but Su Jiao had a very puzzled look.

"What's wrong?"
