It has been a few days since the palace was assassinated to Ning was captured, and the king of Zhao, who was helpless under the fruitless investigation of the thieves, could not delay any longer, so he had to urge Zheng Dajian and a group of envoys to start returning to Beijing on the road, and this walk was a few days, the people on the road from Suzhou to the capital were greeted by the road, and the officials along the way were ordered to receive them, and the king's envoys who had never seen such a vast territory could not help but look at their eyes, and some of the subject countries carrying the Yi Shi Rider had not yet arrived in the capital but began to exchange yellow, platinum, and silver along the road. The back and forth delayed the journey of this already extremely large team even more slowly. At first, Zheng Dajian held the intention of promoting virtue overseas, inclusive and inclusive, and summoned up the patience that had not been consumed much by the mysterious assassin for several days, and they also "messed around", as he meant, after all, those envoys with half-dark complexions and almost similar to the Ming people in the sea voyage over the years followed the fleet to meet each other, all with the mentality of making a lot of money, although he was quite depressed, he was unwilling to block the way of other people's wealth.

As everyone knows, when the team arrived at the old capital of Jinling, the people of Jinling, who had seen many red-haired and black-skinned envoys, no longer used the strange goods they traded in the market to live in. On the contrary, the goods sold by people from Nanzhou and other countries with blond hair, blue eyes and white skin are quite popular. And these people from Nanzhou were also very clever, and took advantage of this opportunity to quietly send people to buy a lot of things that could not be easily marketed in Sumatra, Siam and other countries temporarily, and then sold them at a high price, and they made a lot of money within a few days. But after all, it was an easy thing to sell, and the transaction was in the open, and within a day it was discovered by the people of the country where it was sold. After this back and forth, many envoys from Siam and other countries came to Zheng Dajian to complain. Zheng Dajian, who was already quite anxious, suddenly became a little more lively than the market, and the envoys of dozens of countries were chattering and scolding in various Chinese languages like birds, almost blowing his head up.

In the Jinling Mansion, several people were sitting in the study where Zheng Dajian lived.

Eunuch Zheng said helplessly: "Virtuous nephew, don't embarrass the old man, my righteous daughter doesn't want to see outsiders, you don't want to entangle her again." Speaking of which, it was a little abrupt for you to go to see a girl who had not left the cabinet after the door. Virtuous nephew, you come here every day to ask for instructions, and these envoys of Fanbang have made the old man dizzy recently. The day before yesterday, the old man was confused for a while, and handed you what kind of bitterness to ask the little girl, the little girl has been quite unhappy recently, even if your uncle begs you, you don't come to find my uncle and me again. ”

"Haha Uncle Zheng Gongzheng, forgive the little nephew for being rude, if it weren't for the fact that you were a little wary of this nephew rescued at sea, how could you not see through your nephew's little plan with your experience."

"Jing Zhan, Jing Zhan, how could such a stubborn person in the prefect give birth to such a reckless son as you, let's go, you have to tell the old man, why are you so persistent to come to see my righteous daughter?"

"This ......"

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, how can a good man talk and spit out."

"Alas, uncle, you are an important minister in the court, and my nephew doesn't want to hide it from you, in fact, two years ago, my nephew received a secret order from Jinyiwei to spy in a certain Japanese hiding place to deliver news to my Ming army inside. The nephew was cautious at first, but he was involved in an incident in desperation, when the nephew was seriously injured and thought that he was going to die on that island, he happened to be rescued by a dumb girl on the island and took care of it, and later, when the nephew was recuperating from his injury, it coincided with the Han King Xieliu Hou coming to the island to suppress bandits, although the nephew was fortunate to be rescued by Liu Houye, but... But he was separated from the girl, and his nephew sent several times to look for her, but there was no news. Uncle, I am by no means a womanizer, but I am always grateful to the girl, so when I come back, my nephew must pay attention to any news about the sea. A few days ago, I heard people in the house discuss that my uncle had rescued a girl in black who was dressed differently from the women in my country at sea, so I had some intention of surviving, and I wanted to meet my niece and hope that my uncle would be perfect. As he spoke, Yu Gongzi bowed with both hands and bowed to the ground for a long time. Although he did not say anything about the assassination the night before, everything else was true, so there was no hint of hypocrisy in his tone.

"Virtuous nephew, hurry up, don't do this big gift. The words of these tongue-chewing villains, you only need to take half of it true, but don't believe it all. It's just that the girl who saved you just now couldn't speak, but my righteous girl can speak very dexterously, but I'm afraid it's not the person you are looking for. "Eunuch Zheng's heart is clear at this moment, and what Yu Mian said in his mouth is that the person who pretends to be deaf and dumb and waits for the Han King to land on the island and then hides is not Zhining, who will it be. But when Zheng Dajian turned around and asked Zhining that day, there was a ghost in his heart who thought that the kunai he was carrying with him was dropped and picked up Zhining, and the brows on his originally somewhat weak face suddenly wrinkled unconsciously.

The two of them, who both have ghosts in their hearts, haven't seen each other for days.

"Uncle, I heard that you have a mother-in-law Liu who is quite delicate in sewing clothes, and my nephew wants to find her to make a robe, I don't know where she lives at this time?" Zheng Dajian who was thinking about it was suddenly interrupted by Yu Mian, and replied without thinking: "Granny Liu? It's Liu Ci, she lives in Chengguan Courtyard with A Ning at this time. ”

"Aning? Nephew Uncle Xie. Yu Mian muttered a word, turned around and left.

"Wait, can't you find a person who makes clothes in this huge Jinling Mansion? Yu family boy, you dare to frame me. Eunuch Zheng woke up immediately.

Yu Mian has gone far away.

Okay, let this kid go and see Ah Ning for me, compared to Ah Ning, who has not shirked for a few days, he already knows who Yu Mian is in his heart. Zheng Dajian also muttered in his mouth. At the same time, the scene that had just made him uneasy resurfaced. Although A-Ning frowned at that time, the tense body and the hilt of the sword raised in the futon were really because he remembered the past?

…………………………………………………………………

In the Chengguan Courtyard, the Xinglan Sword was put aside, and Zhi Ning sat on a low stool by the stone tea table, dragging his apricot cheeks in his right hand, and reading the book in his left hand. Granny Liu and Granny Meng, who were sitting on her left and right, also embroidered patterns in their hands.

"Miss, it's a little cold in the south, you're just right, you've been sitting here for nearly an hour, why don't you go back to the house and rest." Granny Liu asked.

"Yes, miss, there are still hundreds of miles to go to the capital, you better pay attention to your body." Granny Meng followed and said.

Zhi Ning was about to turn the page, heard someone speak, and said with a shallow smile: "The two mothers-in-law don't need to worry about me, a few days ago Zhi Ning was not in good health, but the body was still weak after being soaked in the sea for a few days. ”

"Yes, yes, you are a person who practices martial arts, but the days of soaking in the sea are not so fast, speaking of Miss Haili, you are really a blessed person, how dangerous it is on the vast sea, you actually floated straight along the captain's fleet." Granny Liu said with a kind smile on her face.

"Who said it wasn't, when Miss was rescued that day, I thought it was most likely, Bah, Bah, Miss's forgiveness." Granny Meng followed, but inadvertently said the wrong thing, and hurriedly and secretly aimed in the direction of Zhining.

"Hey, I said Mrs. Meng, after getting along these days, don't you know who Miss is, this is wrong and unintentional, and you are so flustered. Just because Miss let the two of us sit at the same table with her, she didn't treat us two as outsiders, and it scared you. Granny Liu, who was more talkative, saw that Granny Meng said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained to her jokingly.

"If it wasn't for Granny Meng's careful care, how could I recover so quickly, how could I take this to heart, and besides, I am just a child picked up by my father-in-law, where would I be as pampered as those young ladies of the family and can't listen to half a bad word." Seeing that Granny Liu also helped explain, Zhi Ning hurriedly responded with a smile.

"Miss is indeed generous, but the old man ......" Granny Liu was talking when Zhi Ning suddenly heard the sound of soft footsteps coming from the side of the wall.

"The two mothers-in-law, it seems that they have never seen me dance the sword, and today I will dance for the two of you." Zhi Ning interrupted Granny Liu's speech, drew her sword and stood up, and the footsteps that came from the gentle peeping were not Zheng Dajian when she heard it, and I don't know who came to spy on this mansion.

There are also some old women who are in the gods, and when they saw that Ning was talking and suddenly drew their swords, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Hearing the sound of a sword buzzing in the air, Zhining jumped to the side before the tip of the sword flew forward, and before Granny Liu, who was usually fast-talking, spoke, she spoke, and in the blink of an eye, the footsteps that came gently came over had already leaned out of half of the sword body in front of the owner.
