"Yes." Xiao Qiongzhi replied very calmly.

Xiao Han was not calm.

Xiao Zhengzhen told him last night that since he did not hand over the hidden army when he passed the throne to Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Zhengzhen had already trained another hidden army.

It's just that, according to the traditional rules of the Daxiao royal family, the hidden army is used to protect the emperor and the prince, Xiao Qiongzhi is just the granddaughter of the prince Xiao Zhen's family, but Xiao Zhengzhen arranged the hidden army to protect it.

He asked Xiao Qiongzhi in a deep voice: "How many hidden troops did your father arrange to protect you?" ”

"I don't know, I've never asked, and I've never called them before today." Xiao Qiongzhi said.

She was telling the truth.

Her life was originally very peaceful, there was no danger, as long as she was accompanied and protected by Hongxing, she didn't need anyone else at all.

What's more, in addition to the hidden army arranged by her father Xiao Zhengzhen, there are also hidden guards arranged by her mother.

If it really came to the point of last resort, she would definitely use the hermit first, and then the hidden army.

Because, she acts, pays attention to step by step, and doesn't like to show all the hole cards at once.

"You mean, when your grandfather and you were assassinated in Shitan yesterday, you didn't call the hidden army out to protect you?" Xiao Han asked again in a deep voice.

"Yes." Xiao Qiongzhi nodded.

"Why?" Xiao Han asked.

"My father also arranged for my grandfather to protect the hidden army, and at that time, my grandfather did not call the hidden army out, as a granddaughter, of course I can't let my hidden army steal the limelight of my grandfather's hidden army." Xiao Qiongzhi said without thinking.

"You grandparents and grandchildren, what a fool! How can you rather be injured yourself than be called a hidden army? Then what do you want to do with the Hidden Army? Xiao Han sighed with some hatred.

No matter when and where, he always takes his own safety very seriously, and he can't wait to have more cushions around him.

However, over the years, he has secretly inquired and observed Xiao Xuanliang, Xiao Zhenjia, Xiao Zhengzhen, Xiao Qiongzhi and others.

However, I have to say that his son Xiao Xuanliang, grandson Xiao Zhenjia and his great-granddaughter Xiao Qiongzhi are not like him at all.

is his great-grandson Xiao Zhengzhen, who is more like him, black enough, tough enough, and will not let himself suffer.

"Mrs. Grandpa has taught a reasonable lesson, and the next time I encounter a situation like in Shitan, I will definitely remember to call Yinjun." Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to say very seriously.

Xiao Han was satisfied, and his expression relaxed.

"Shi Zhu, I see you! Where do you go! At this time, among the onlookers and people, there was a sudden loud shout.

Xiao Qiongzhi followed the sound and looked over and found that less than a hundred meters away from her, a young man in red quickly passed through the crowd and chased after a young girl.

The girl was much taller than the average woman, 170 by eye, her eyebrow bones and nose bridge were slightly higher than those of the Jiangnan people, the corners of her eyes were wider, and the field house was thicker, which was very consistent with the characteristic image of the two black-clothed masked people on the left just now.

It is estimated that she should be the Shi Zhu of Nan Qi, the daughter of Zhang Huitong's aunt Zhang Yuanchun, who Yu Qiushuang just mentioned.

She immediately pointed to the girl and said to Hongxing, "Hongxing, go and arrest her!" ”

"Yes." Hongxing agreed loudly.

Now, when she carries the light power, she casually jumps fifty or sixty meters.

So, it only took three hits for her to catch up with the girl.

She quickly reached out and grabbed the back collar of the other party, and carried the other party directly under the sedan chair where Xiao Han and Xiao Qiongzhi were riding.

Then, she took out a slender hemp rope from her sleeve pocket and tied the other party's hands and feet.

The other party-the girl was very unwilling, and in the process of being tied by her hands and feet, she shouted at her: "Let go of me!" Let me go! Let me go! ”

Xiao Qiongzhi waited for Hongxing to be busy before she looked at the girl, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Shi Zhu, why did you run just now?" ”

"Princess Zhong Ling, what a strange question you asked. My feet are on me, I can run if I want, what other reason do I need? You're going to let me go! The girl said angrily to Xiao Qiongzhi.

She didn't deny that she was Shi Zhu, it seems that Xiao Qiongzhi guessed correctly, she is indeed Shi Zhu.

"That's not going to work. You are suspected of instigating someone to assassinate me, and I have already arranged for someone to investigate, and you can only stay here obediently until the truth is found out. Xiao Qiongzhi said lightly.

"Princess Zhong Ling, how can you bully others? I didn't know you before today, so why should I order someone to assassinate you? If you don't have evidence to prove that I'm suspected of assassinating you, you can't let anyone arrest me! Shi Zhu said unconvinced.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, I'll find evidence for you now, if you don't find evidence within a quarter of an hour, I'll let you go, and apologize to you in public for letting people arrest you just now." Xiao Qiongzhi said with a smile.

Because of Shi Zhu's words, it reminded her.

Zhang Huitong only had a bad relationship with her yesterday, if Teng Ju was sent by the Zhang family to take revenge on her, then it must not have been prepared a long time ago, but a temporary decision made yesterday after Zhang Huitong was escorted to the Criminal Department and the Zhang family visited Zhang Huitong.

After she participated in the poetry contest yesterday, she first went back to the prince's mansion, and then went to Dugufeng to hunt, during this period, even if the Zhang family found Teng Ju to find her ballast, Teng Ju did not have a chance to meet her, and did not know her at all.

Therefore, the Zhang family could only wait until this morning, seize the opportunity of her coming to participate in the poetry competition, send someone from the Zhang family who knew her, bring Teng Ju over, first identify her in front of Teng Ju, and then leave secretly, or find an excuse not to make people suspicious, and hide to the side to watch the excitement.

Thinking of this, she looked at the red-clothed young man who was chasing Shi Zhu just now.

At this time, the young man in red was hurrying towards her.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shaoxia, why did you chase Shi Zhu just now?" ”

"She robbed me of my delicious food!" The young man in red said stupidly.

"What's going on here?" Xiao Qiongzhi was a little confused.

She originally thought that this young man in red was doing her a favor just now, and deliberately shouted Shi Zhu's identity in public.

"Brother Yu, our affairs have nothing to do with her, don't answer her words, don't pay attention to her!" When Shi Zhu heard this, he suddenly reminded the young man in red loudly.

The young man in red originally looked like he was going to answer, but after listening to Shi Zhu's words, he seemed a little hesitant.

Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to use the agitation method: "Shaoxia, Shi Zhu is suspected of instigating someone to assassinate me, now, I want you to explain that she robbed you of your delicious food, and she immediately objected to you, is it because she robbed you of your delicious food, and she is suspected of instigating someone to assassinate me?" ”

"No, no, no! The delicious one was originally a pine nut cake made for her by Cousin Shi Zhu, but I looked delicious and robbed her. ”

"She wanted to save face in front of her cousin, and she didn't say anything to me, but as soon as her cousin left, she stopped doing it and snatched the pine nut cake, so I chased her angrily." The young man in red replied seriously.

Xiao Qiongzhi was a little confused.

She asked curiously, "What's your name?" What is the relationship with Shi Zhu? ”
