This change made Zhongli a little worried, he hadn't seen Zhao Yiyan for several days.

Knowing that the emperor ordered him to investigate the drug, and now this is the situation in the capital, Zhongli hurriedly came to the Qingyang Palace, and happened to meet Zhao Yiyan in the mansion.

Hearing that the housekeeper said that Zhongli came to look for him, Zhao Yiyan hurried to the main hall and saw Zhongli sitting on a chair drinking tea.

"Big brother!"

Zhongli stood up and looked up and down to find that Zhao Yiyan was okay and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yiyan sat down on the chair beside Zhongli, a little puzzled.

"Didn't I hear Steward Wang say that you have something to do, why are you here today?"

"Big brother, the capital has not been peaceful recently, are you okay?"

Zhongli asked worriedly.

Zhongli's concern made Zhao Yiyan feel very good, and a smile appeared on his cold face.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Seeing that the worry on Zhongli's face still hadn't dissipated, Zhao Yiyan nodded.

"It's really not peaceful in the capital lately, but it has nothing to do with you. It's me, because the previous incident may cause a lot of unhappiness and may affect you, the fourth prince is fine, but the third prince, you have to be careful. ”

Zhongli frowned and looked at Zhao Yiyan with some suspicion.

"Was that the last time? But didn't the emperor already give a gag order before? How could it be ......"

Thinking of his worries, Zhongli's eyebrows twisted into a dead knot.

"And the emperor, who was originally jealous of you, wanted me to say that you shouldn't have interjected at that time! It's good now, enemies are made on all sides, and the emperor probably wants to borrow a knife to kill people. ”

Thinking of the scene in the Three Princes' Mansion, Zhongli felt that he could still smell the faint smell of blood in the air.

Zhao Yiyan put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked at Zhongli in front of him seriously.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. Although the third prince and the fourth prince are beautiful now, they are not afraid of me, they can't move me now, but you, you and I are brothers now, I am worried that he will attack you. ”

Not to mention that they are now making trouble in order to win the heir, just say that they are now a prince with real power, although they are princes, they are also more likely to be feared by the emperor.

And the emperor, this is not to say that if he doesn't open his mouth, the emperor won't let himself check, otherwise, why did the emperor let them go to the Three Princes' Mansion with him?

Whatever the emperor does, it must have its own meaning.

"Don't worry, big brother, I will stay at home honestly and not go anywhere recently. After the New Year's Festival, I will immediately return to the border city. ”

Zhongli said this, although Zhao Yiyan was still a little uneasy in his heart, but so far, it seems that this can only be the case! However, he told the housekeeper to pay more attention to the affairs of Zhongli's mansion from time to time.

Zhongli said goodbye and left from Zhao Yiyan's home, thinking about the current situation in the capital all the way.

I've only been here for a few days, and it's really not a place to stay for a long time!

At night, the streets are dark, and only a few houses are hung with bright red lanterns, which adds a bit of bizarre and weirdness to this kind of night.

Zhongli actually missed the modern street lamps at this time, the kind of neon flashing place, she seemed to have abandoned it, and she hadn't thought about it for a long time!

He was thinking about the past in his mind, and suddenly, he saw a black figure around the corner.

The figure was clinging to the wall, leaning out a little bit and looking ahead, sneaky.

In the past, Zhongli didn't want to care about so many things.

But now it is different, because the man is looking in the same direction as his own home.

The reason why he is so sure is that after this corner, there is only his own family.

Zhongli's first thought was whether it would be the third prince or the fourth prince, but he thought about it and felt impossible, even if they had something, they wouldn't do it so brainlessly.

Zhongli looked left and right, and found that there was something like a wooden stick on his right hand, Zhongli took two steps softly, quickly picked up the wooden stick on the ground, dodged to the corner of the wall, and clinged to the wall, wanting to move to the man's side softly, ready to give the man a blow in the back, and ask the man's purpose well!

The man was still lying on the wall watching the movement inside, and Zhongli raised his stick to slam it at his back.

When didn't turn around, just when Zhongli was about two meters away from the person, and he could hit the person with just one step, the person suddenly turned around and saw Zhongli behind him.

Zhongli was stunned for a moment, because the other party obviously came with a purpose, because his face was still covered with a veil.

Now that the two have discovered each other, it is necessary to ask who the other party is.

"Who are you? Why sneaking around my house? What is the purpose? ”

He clenched the stick in his hand, feeling a little worried in his heart.

If he had known that, he shouldn't have come out alone at all.

But the man did not speak, but kept looking in his direction, as if looking for an opportunity to escape.

Seeing that the man was slow to answer and prepared, Zhongli thought about taking it and then asked.

Zhongli took a step forward and swung the wooden stick in his hand directly at the man.

The man reacted quickly, and after discovering Zhongli's intentions, he leaned sideways to dodge a blow.

Behind him is Zhongli's home, which is also a dead end, but there is a road in front of him, and Zhongli is in front of him.

The man hesitated for a moment, then quickly took out the object in his arms and threw it towards Zhongli.

In the darkness, Zhongli noticed the man making a gesture of digging something, and then saw a dark figure throw at him.

Suspecting that it was poison or something that hurt him, Zhongli ducked to the side, reaching out to cover his mouth and nose.

And it was at this moment that the man quickly ran towards Zhongli while he was dodging, and then ran out in the opposite direction where he was dodging.

The man was tall and agile, and before Zhongli could take two steps after him, the man disappeared into the night.

Zhongli looked at the place where the figure had disappeared and threw away the stick in his hand in anger, but Zhongli looked at the place where the thing had fallen.

After searching around the area, Zhongli found a sachet that a man used to press the corners of his clothes.

She didn't think much about it, but he couldn't help but dream a lot, and he hurried home.

"Second Young Master, you're back!"

Wang Qinglin saw Zhongli's figure and was about to ask him why he came back so late.

But seeing Zhongli look at him with a strange expression, and then nodded gently to himself and strode away, Wang Qinglin did not continue to ask, but avoided it with a look, and even tied Zhongli to disperse the maids and servants who had been guarding.

After Zhongli entered the study, he came to the table and took out the things in his arms.

The sachet was dark in color, with silver threads, it looked like it was used by a wealthy family, and the tentacles were heavy, Zhongli frowned, and opened the sachet.

To his surprise, not only did he take out a letter from it, but also a token.

The letter was folded, and Zhongli couldn't pay attention to it, because at this time, her attention was on the token.

The token was made of bronze with a delicate and intricate pattern on it.

In this era, copper is very valuable, and it is not something that ordinary people can use, and it is only a little cheaper than gold.

Tokens are not so unfamiliar, because in this era, even if it is a rich family, many heads of families like to use this kind of thing to represent their identity.

It's just that this is not an ordinary token.

Zhongli took the token and looked at it in his hand. It's just that when he turned the token over the other side, her gaze suddenly changed, her fingers tightened, and her eyes stared at the token in her hand.

Seeing that the token was written on the word "Shen", and around the word Shen was two spears and shields.

This is......

The Shen family's token!

Although he didn't, he had seen it in General Wang's hands.

Thinking of this, Zhongli hurriedly put down the token in his hand and quickly picked up the letter on the table, opened it and read it carefully.

After reading it, Zhongli was even more shocked.

The content of the letter turned out to be that he should leave for the border city immediately after the New Year's Festival, and not to stay in the capital for any longer, otherwise it might be dangerous.

Zhongli held the letter in one hand and the token in the other, and after looking back and forth, he put the two things on the table, his brows furrowed more and more, and his head was full of doubts.

Who is that man?

And what is the significance of this token?

Why did he remind himself to stay away from the capital?

Also, why is there the word "Shen" on this token, is it related to General Shen? Does it have anything to do with the events of the past?

But why did the man find him?

The only person who knows his identity, except for General Wang, is the Zhong family, why does he know that he has a connection with General Shen?

Or is that person testing himself?

But he said that it would be dangerous not to leave, this is a threat? Or a reminder? What is the danger that the man is talking about?

Is it the emperor? The Three Princes? The Four Princes?

Zhongli has a mind that needs to be answered.

It's just that now there is not even a person around who can speak, and after hesitating for a while, he reluctantly folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and Zhongli found a safe place to put it away with the token.

After doing all this, Zhongli finally sighed, reached out and rubbed his forehead, and sat down in a chair with a sad face.

Now, the only person who can answer his doubts is General Wang, who is stationed in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

Did he tell someone about himself? But he had clearly told the other party a thousand times before!

It seems that we can only wait, wait for General Wang to come back.

As the New Year approached, General Wang's side also began to organize the army, and he sneezed fiercely.

"Vice General Wang, are you suffering from typhoid fever?"

Someone is concerned about the inquiry.

"Typhoid fever? How can I get typhoid fever? I've never taken medicine in that ghost place in the border city for decades, how did I get so delicate here? Just kidding! ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed a few more times, and after coming into contact with the playful eyes of several colleagues, he couldn't help but rub his nose, cough dryly, and speak with certainty.

"It must be your sister-in-law who is talking about me at home, where is the wind and cold! Let's go, you guys also hurry up and pack up, and you can go home for a reunion during the New Year! ”
