Chapter 696: You're Quite Capable

After Zhuang Siyan went back, he also focused on going through the people of the detective agency.

But although there are people arranged by Ling Tiancheng to protect her, her people are going to do private investigations, and this kind of thing is going to be very risky.

She couldn't completely count on Ling Tiancheng, she had to be a good martial artist.

There are a few Qing brothers, who are still listening to her, but there are Qing Ran and Qingshi's deaths in front of her, and she has always felt guilty in her heart, and it is always difficult to instruct them again.

At present, in the detective agency, the best martial arts is Jiang Yizhou, but Jiang Yizhou's martial arts are on par with Zhuang Siyan, no matter how high he is, there is no more, and this person hardly speaks, not to mention the detective's business ability.

But he had one for him to go, and even if the sky stepped down, he wouldn't leave half a step.

If he is asked to protect a person, it is really life and death.

Zhuang Siyan secretly pondered, in fact, he could really take him with him, but at the same time, he had to send a clever one.

Originally, Hu Yun was okay, but Hu Yun was a woman, she really didn't feel at ease when she went out of such a long way, and in the place of Pingyang Pass, the people were fierce, and Hu Yun was easy to be exposed when she got there.

Ji Xiaotian is a good candidate, but he is a little younger.

In short, it seems that there are a lot of talents in the detective agency, but when you look at it, they lack shortcomings one by one.

But time waits for no one, Gu Chengan has already started to order troops over there, and Tang Geng is also ready, not only does she have to arrange people here, but she also has to popularize the climate and people's feelings over there.

Anyway, there's a lot of stuff waiting in the back, and she's going to have to hurry.

I decided on Ji Xiaotian and Jiang Yizhou first, but when I went out of the palace to the detective agency, I saw Sun Xi there.

Since Sun Xi had a conflict with Ling Tiancheng and the two of them in the last scientific expedition, Zhuang Siyan had almost given up on him.

Some people are white-eyed wolves, no matter how good you treat them, he will bite you back.

Then stay away from him from the beginning, so as not to be bitten to death by him in the future.

So when Zhuang Siyan saw him, he didn't have much expression, he just hurriedly walked inside, and called Ji Xiao who was with him by the way. ”

Who knew that when Ji Xiaotian entered the flower hall, Sun Xi was still followed behind him.

At this time, Zhuang Siyan couldn't pretend not to see him, so he had to say patiently: "Sun Xi, you go out first, I have something to say to Ji Xiao." ”

Sun Xi not only stood there without moving, but also bent his legs and knelt down: "Please forgive the queen, I also want to come to the detective agency like Xiaotian." ”

Zhuang Siyan suddenly shook his heart.

Sun Xi and Ji Xiaotian have one thing in common, that is, they are both smart and look like children, but the city is deeper than some adults.

He is also different from Ji Xiaotian, that is, Ji Xiaotian has feelings for the detective agency, Zhuang Siyan, and the dead Qingran.

So he's here, with a positive attitude.

But Sun Xi can't, in addition to catering on the surface, he is almost rebellious in his heart, probably he also had feelings for Ah Si before, but Ah Si died, and his feelings ended.

Not only is he not grateful to Zhuang Siyan, but he also has hatred, after all, in his cognition, it was Zhuang Siyan who killed his father.

Not to mention the detective agency, he is not familiar with this place.

Temporary uprising, to join in, not only is Zhuang Siyan used to being rough, but he also has to think about his motives.

But for a while, she didn't figure out what Sun Xi's intentions were.

She nodded, "Okay, here's it."

I know, you go to the academy first, and I'll look for you later if I can. ”

Sun Xi got the answer, glanced at Ji Xiaotian, and then went out.

Zhuang Siyan asked Ji Xiaotian directly: "What did he come to you for?" ”

Ji Xiaotian didn't hide it, and told Sun Xi about it: "After I left the academy, he didn't have fun in the academy, so he wanted to come here with me." ”

"Heh, is this a place for you to play? Do you usually have a close relationship with him? Is there anything in the detective agency that will tell him? Zhuang Siyan asked.

Ji Xiaotian was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to explain: "The queen mother is angry, I didn't want to come here to play, and I came in because my two masters were here, so ...... I just came. I didn't tell him anything about this place, but the two of us met once in a while, and he came to see me, and I have been back since I left the academy. ”

Zhuang Siyan looked at him for a moment, then eased his expression, left the chair, and personally helped Ji Xiaotian up and said, "I don't blame you, he is different, and some things are inconvenient to tell you now, and you will naturally understand in the future." ”

Ji Xiaotian: "I understand, you don't need to explain." ”

Strictly speaking, Ji Xiaotian is more like Zhuang Siyan's son, she and Qingran got him out of the Ji family at the beginning, although Qingran taught more at that time and she taught less, but Ji Xiaotian always regarded her as a master, and always remembered her.

This alone moved Zhuang Siyan very much.

She asked Ji Xiaotian to sit down with him, and sorted out her sentences before she spoke: "Now there is something for you to do, it is far away from the capital, and it is also very hard, I don't know if you want to go?" ”

Is Ji Xiao a matter before Pingyang? ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Yes, the matter of Pingyang Pass, since others have handed us a bill, then we have to continue, this is also the affairs of our detective agency, but Pingyang Pass is at the junction of the Kashgar people, which has always been a military place, not to mention whether people are easy to get along with, just the environment there, this season is enough." ”

Ji Xiaotian has grown up in the end, and his temperament is a lot calmer, and he has even practiced patience.

He listened to Zhuang Siyan very carefully, and after asking a few brief questions, he agreed to the matter.

Zhuang Siyan said: "Jiang Yizhou will go with you, but his task is mainly to protect your safety, whether this matter can be investigated, you have to come by yourself." ”

"I know, I won't disappoint the queen." The little guy looked at Zhuang Siyan with a firm look in his eyes and said.

Zhuang Siyan touched his hair with his hand, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Speaking of which, you have been in the detective agency for so long, I have never taught you anything, and now that you are going out, let's temporarily hold on to make up for the lesson." ”

Every detail of this matter is small.

Good at detectives, where to start, ask the locals about things, pay attention to following the local customs, and try not to let yourself be so ostentatious, the more he doesn't let people notice, the closer he is likely to get to the truth.

In the end, Zhuang Siyan solemnly told him: "No matter whether the case is cleared or not, your own safety is the most important. Therefore, you must remember that if you encounter danger, no matter how close you are to the truth at that time, you can't be reckless, leave first, and then find a way later, you know? ”

Ji Xiaotian nodded solemnly to her again.

There was still a day of leisure in the future, and Zhuang Siyan told him again about the mental method of martial arts, as well as how to break off the escape, and how to throw it to the tracking point.

It was also at this time that she found out in guilt that she really taught Ji Xiaotian too little.

Although he is nominally a master, to this day

That is, he has nothing to teach him two sentences, and almost nothing else has been taught.

The kung fu that Ji Xiaotian is doing now was still taught by Qingran at that time, and then he learned it at Qingming Academy.

Thanks to his usual diligence and practice, otherwise he would not dare to let him out.

Jiang Yizhou basically doesn't have to worry about it, anyway, as long as he gives him an order, it's fine.

Two days later, Gu Chengan gathered outside the city with two thousand elite soldiers, and Tang Geng followed the team with one of his entourages, which can be regarded as bodyguards.

And Ji Xiaotian and Jiang Yizhou dressed up as generals and mixed in.

Ling Tiancheng and Zhuang Siyan didn't come out to see them off, so the team gathered and headed west.

A few days after they left, the matter had gradually passed the heat of conversation in the capital, and Zhuang Siyan went out of the city again.

By this time it was already cold.

Winter in the capital is coming.

Sometimes people are busy and feel that the autumn is over, and suddenly it snows heavily overnight, and people fall directly into the ice and snow, and in winter, they are very depressed.

When Zhuang Siyan left the palace that day, she found that it was very cold, but she was already wearing a cloak, although it was not very thick, but she didn't bother to go back and change it.

Out of the palace gate, when I arrived in the city, the behavior on the street was significantly reduced, and the sharp wind blew along the street and on people's faces, which was already cold.

Moreover, the sky was dark and gloomy, and a large dark cloud overhead seemed to fall at any time, which made people feel depressed.

It was too cold, so she didn't go directly to Qingming Academy, but called her entourage and went into a mutton soup shop on the street.

It's cold today, but the mutton soup is liked, and it's full of people.

The entourage looked around, but didn't find a suitable position, and was about to come over to report to Zhuang Siyan, when he heard a young man next to him say, "Sit here." ”

Zhuang Siyan and his entourage turned their heads at the same time, and then saw Sun Xi sitting on a table in the corner, with a bowl of soup in front of him, there was no mutton in it, it looked like it was just a bowl of clear soup, and there were also two steamed buns.

Zhuang Siyan was originally looking for him, and if he met here, he really went over to sit.

She asked for two bowls of soup, one for Sun Xi and one for herself, and some broken silver for her followers, so that he could find a place to go and eat some hot food.

After settling down, while the two were eating, Zhuang Siyan opened his mouth: "Isn't there no class in the academy today?" ”

Sun Xi replied: "Yes, it's just that I'm no longer in the academy." ”

"Oh?" Zhuang Siyan looked up at him, and doubts were already written on his face.

She didn't even know about this, although there were many children in the hospital, but Sun Xi was still different from others, if he came out, Mr. Bai should tell her, right?

Sun Xian seemed to have guessed her thoughts, so he said: "The academy also has rules, everyone has the freedom to enter and come out, I feel that I have achieved success in my studies now, and I have also been admitted to Jinshi, so I don't need to study in it anymore." I don't blame Mr. Bai for this, I asked him not to mention it to the queen. ”

Zhuang Siyan laughed, but the smile didn't seem to be half happy: "You are quite capable, even Mr. Bai listens to you." ”

Sun Xi was silent for a moment, and then said, "That's not true, maybe he's been busy lately." ”

Is the academy very busy, and what are you busy with, Zhuang Siyan really doesn't know, she has only been concerned about tossing things outside recently, and she hasn't been there for a long time, so she doesn't know.

But listening to Sun Xi's meaning, it seems that there is something wrong there.

Looks like I'm going to have to go for a trip today.
