Hou Cong took a step and left Cuizhu's bedroom. A gust of wind suddenly blew through the leaves in the yard, and the small, climatic dust and broken leaves swirled on the ground, unable to gather or disperse.

It's almost clear.

Everyone followed, but Mo Chang didn't, and neither did Bai Yi.

Hou Cong didn't care about these for a while. He glanced at Dugu Zheng. Dugu is aware - at this moment, he has lost his usual laughter and funny, and has become an eagle dog who fights for his master with his eyes and teeth open. He took a step closer to report the situation: "His Royal Highness Mo Chang said that because Guanhualou was frightened at noon, he didn't like to eat food, so he let Cuizhu eat it." Nothing else was said. ”

Hou Cong nodded and patted Duguzheng's shoulder, "Mao, are you tired?" ”

"How much strength does this exert?"

Hou Cong swept the people around him, and he thought about the next arrangement. He spoke, his voice was not loud, with a little hoarseness, but he was extremely firm and calm: "Changkong, I will transfer 100 soldiers for you, 60, divided into three shifts, patrolling around the outside of Changfu day and night, and then 20 of the 40 will come out, there are already dark posts nearby, it seems that there are not enough." There are 20 left, and they will be mobile sentinels in the house. There are not enough people here, so you call 10 of the most trustworthy people from Yuwen Mansion to come over and follow you. Clean up the two side courtyards in the northeast corner and northwest corner of here, you come to live, and give the rest of the houses to the subordinates and soldiers. ”

"Yes!" Sky agreed.

"Dugu Zheng, people come out from under you, there is a person who disobeys the captain of the horse, I only settle accounts with you."

Dugu Zheng lowered his head slightly, "Don't worry, master." ”

Hou Cong glanced at Mo Chang's room, and the white clothes had not yet come out. He turned to the teenagers beside him, and first looked at Dugu Zheng again, "Mao, you are tired in the morning, take care of Changkong in the afternoon and rest for a while, and then start to get busy when the people come." Then, he turned to Yuan You, "Mao, the girl in white will come out in a while, and you can pick her up and go back to my yard." Tell her to drink duck soup and just sleep. Wait for me to come back and play with her in the evening. After you make arrangements, ask my dad to find you a place to sleep, and wait for me to come back in the evening. In addition, stew a bowl of good soup, send it here, and find someone to serve Changkong to drink. ”

"Yes." After Yuan finished speaking, he took a step back slightly, and stood near the door of the green bamboo house.

Hou Cong glanced at the room again, but he still couldn't see the shadow of the white clothes, he also felt strange, and the emotion he felt at the moment was concern rather than anger. - There is nothing to be angry about, she has her freedom of action, he even knows that she sympathizes with the captured prince, wants to comfort him, and has a stupid tongue, and at this time he may be really anxious!

"Stupid girl." He snorted in his heart and looked at Murong Xing: "Mao, you come with me and enter the palace!" ”

Murong Xing didn't say a word, followed Hou Cong, left Changfu, and went to the palace on horseback.

In the small, clean room where Cuizhu sits on weekdays, Mo Chang hangs on tear stains and always stays by the bedside. Cuizhu is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and has a small short face that looks convex on the side, looking shrewd and lively. Cuizhu was originally a third-class subordinate of Changfu, and he didn't have time to take so many people away when he won and surrendered to the enemy. These people were sold again. Like Cuizhu, who is clever and has a high price, he didn't sell it for a while, and he was imprisoned in his own private prison in Changfu nearby. When the war ended, Mo Chang was captured and confined here, because he was quick with his hands and feet, he could still read and write, and his parents had already died of illness, and his background was clean, and he was selected to serve the prince of the enemy country.

He had never done this kind of thing, he was a little frightened at first, but later, he relaxed a little, Mo Chang liked him, loved him gently, he also admired Mo Chang, and gradually, he regarded His Royal Highness as his own master.

This matter is indeed a bitter ploy in Mo Chang's serial scheme. Although Hou Cong checked everyone's details, if you want to understand a person, in addition to technology and experience, another condition is the most important: getting along.

It was by getting along, relying on the control and co-optation of other people, that Mo Chang found that the cook and the coachman were not really loyal. Luo Wei, Lin An, and Kyushu, according to his orders, confirmed all this - in Chengguo's murder plan, the current emperor arranged a fine work in Datong to buy the cook and the coachman.

So, for a while, Mo Chang only ate the meals made by Cuizhu himself, and only made a sedan chair when he went out. But in the past few days, he has begun to get close to the two traitors again, and even allowed the coachman Lao Chen to send him to the Hou Mansion as a referee. In the course of the Dragon Ball incident, he deliberately sent the cook and the coachman, as well as Liu Laosan, to walk around and show his face.

Of course, Cheng Guo's fine work quickly got the news, and made the same judgment as Hou Cong: If Mo Chang wants to do something, he must first get a sum of money. Therefore, they broke the original plan, on the one hand, they connived at the participation of the cook and the coachman, and wanted to collect a lot of money; On the other hand, let the cook buy the medicine and prepare for the Dragon Ball auction, and immediately start it.

The hope of collecting money was shattered, and after Hou Cong revealed that the box was empty in Guanhualou, Mo Chang, as the real boss behind the release of the news, not only couldn't make money, but also owed a sum.

However, this did not affect the killing of him.

Mo Chang sent Cuizhu and ate the poisonous meal. On the one hand, he can quickly expose the cook and the coachman, and kill them with the help of Hou Cong, but on the other hand, he also shows that he is really defenseless and was almost poisoned. If the cook and the coachman confessed that they had assigned the errands in the Dragon Ball incident when they were interrogated, then they would not admit it - if you did it, would you be able to listen to it? They were going to kill themselves.

Unexpectedly, Hou Cong didn't ask these questions at all.

Mo Chang knew that Hou Cong must have doubted himself, and even recognized that he was doing all kinds of small actions pressed in the shadows. He is not afraid of this, little white rabbit, the reputation of the white lotus is for the world anyway, and the people nearby will naturally let people know that you are not easy to deal with. Bai Yi is Hou Cong's soldier, is she the same in her eyes?

Therefore, Mo Chang didn't say anything and did nothing. didn't give up his seat tenderly, pour tea, or care if Bai Yi was hurt because of Crazy Horse. Not saying or doing is already the greatest sincerity he retains in order to have this woman in his heart.

He originally had a plan, and because he liked her, this plan also included her. It's just that she doesn't know at the moment, and maybe never will. Just enjoy a moment when she stands by her side out of care and compassion.

Bai Yi finally spoke, "I see that Cuizhu's face is bloodless, and her lips are black, can you still wake up?" ”

Mo Chang smiled at this time, the identity of the person who laughed was the owner of the patient, and replied for the unconscious Cuizhu: "Because I know what the poison is, I quickly prescribe the right medicine." In the future, I am afraid that my stomach will be afraid of cold, and the others should be fine. That's what the doctor said. ”

"These people who want to harm people for no reason are really ruthless!" Bai Yi's voice trembled slightly.

Mo Chang smiled bitterly, not knowing how to answer.

"Your Highness, no matter what, General Xiaohou and we will protect you. Chengguo's first attempt has been exposed. I'm not afraid of the back. ”

Mo Chang got up from the side of the bed, approached Baiyi, and saw that her hair was still messy, and she had a hasty little face, brave is brave, but she is also at a loss. How much had changed between the first time she had seen her, and the time she had met outside the palace. From a delicate fake flower carved from wood, it has become a delicate real flower that can be plucked.

Mo Chang gently raised a hand and straightened the ivory comb for her, she tilted her head slightly and dodged, out of shyness, it was not that she hated him and hated him, she was defenseless and rejected him, Mo Chang felt it. This quickly injected a new hope into him.

He felt that his plan was worth it.

"You're the one who died for me, aren't you?" His hand reluctantly left between her hair, hanging limply.

Bai Yi didn't expect him to ask like this, she knew that it was a secret, and even the people who were protected couldn't know about it. But how could she lie to him? Mo Chang has a delicate forehead, so delicate that there is no trace of superfluous facial lines, and there is spring water in the corners of his eyes, such a prince, if he falls into this situation, can he still bear to lie to him?

Bai Yi didn't say anything, lowered her head, and raised it again, she knew that she was still a stupid person, but Mo Chang didn't laugh at this.

"Your Highness, I promise you about seeing the flowers. The day after tomorrow, or—"

"No hurry," he stopped her from saying more, and smiled, smiling in his own capacity, "to the bank of the Feng River?" Do you like my idea? On the day when General Xiaohou displayed the night pearl in the Guanhua Building, I will take you to the Fenghe River to see the night flowers. ”

"Looking at night flowers? And this? "White clothes are unheard of.
