The glow reflects on the lake, the orange and red fish chase each other, and the cups collide in the small pavilion by the lake, which is crisp and pleasant.

Zhao Hanqing half-leaned on the railing, slightly drunk, but less old, like the red plum blossoms that bloomed in March.

Seeing that Zhao Chen was about to get up and pour wine again, he smiled and waved his hand to stop, and said, "If you just drink, you will be drunk if you are drunk, but if you want to have anything else, it is better to be sober." ”

Drunk, he smiled a little movingly, his eyes swept over Zhao Chen, and he slightly revealed the intention of exploration.

Zhao Chen coughed lightly and sat back in place, and asked thoughtfully, "Cousin, have you heard of the bandits in Liaodong?" ”

Zhao Hanqing narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "I have never paid attention to this kind of thing, why are you suddenly curious about this?" ”

Seeing that he didn't seem perfunctory, Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, "Gao Lianben was invited by the second brother to come to Beijing, and then sent a message to him... I don't know if it's shirk, so I thought I'd ask you. ”

"The second brother is now at a critical time, and it is natural to find some support." Zhao Hanqing took care of himself and fulfilled Zhao Chen's words, "I'll go back and ask, if there is really a big gangster, I will always report it." ”

Zhao Chen kept paying attention to his expression, but he couldn't see anything, he deserved to be happy, and said: "I also think about someone else, I don't want the second brother to make friends with Gao Lian, and secretly do something." ”

"At this time, there is no way to miss the direction of the wind." She said, taking a cup and drinking it all, "If Gao Lian had ever intended to go to Beijing, he should hand over the paperwork at the meeting-"

"Shi'an, you have a good relationship with your second brother." Zhao Hanqing sat up slightly straight, no inquiry, just a statement.

Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, and nodded: "The second brother is also lonely, I couldn't help but get closer to him when I was a child, and now I can help a little bit, and I can be regarded as worthy of this brotherly friendship." ”

"Besides, I can't figure it out about the battle in the court, I only know that if I am attached to the prince, I can get more protection from His Majesty." She smiled, "Shi'an is timid, but he still wants to protect himself." ”

Zhao Hanqing lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll find a way to read the documents when I go back." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Chen to thank him, he continued: "Shi'an, if you really want to protect yourself, you should stay away from the battle and away from danger, you have always been clever, you should know what to do..."

"I've drunk the wine, and I'll let you know when it's ready—" He drank the wine from his glass and got up with a smile and walked away.

Zhao Chen squinted his eyes slightly and looked at his back, and only after a long time did he retract his gaze, sit alone for a while, and then walked out of Taibai Ju.

As soon as she turned the corner, her ears quivered, and the corners of her lips curled as if out of nowhere.

Someone secretly followed her so soon.

She pretended not to know, walked around the east of the city a few times alone, and walked to a lot of secluded places, but the people who followed secretly did not have the slightest intention of making a move.

Half an hour later, tired of walking, she had no choice but to step on the twilight and go back to the Wuwang Mansion.

………

When I received Zhao Hanqing's message, it was the evening of the next day-

There are indeed bandits in Liaodong, but they have long been suppressed.

Gao Lian did hand over the paperwork, and Prince Zhuang promised him to go to Beijing to report on his work...

The time is also consistent with Zhao Chen's estimate.

When the documents were sent first, and when the news of the approval was sent back to Liaodong, something happened, which caused Gao Lian to change his mind, and only then did he write a letter to reply to the king of Yu-

Zhao Chen was thinking about it, and Han Feng strode into the courtyard.

Xie Shiming finally made a move...

After hearing this, she thought for a while and said, "I'll ask others to investigate, you go back to Xie Mansion and guard outside!" ”

Sending Han Feng away, she limped back to the room, took out her night clothes and changed them, and went out of the house along the secret road, and disappeared into the night with a few ups and downs.

——

Hsieh's Western Suburbs Manor.

It was quiet, there was no voice, and there were few lights in the darkness.

Zhao Chen carefully touched the corner of the side wall, listened with his ears for a long time, and couldn't help frowning between his eyebrows.

Xie Shiming is very cunning.

According to Han Feng, as soon as it was dark today, Xie Shiming left the house and entered a small teahouse.

But when Han Feng touched it, he found that the other party had long since disappeared.

Fortunately, Zhao Chen's previous covetousness of Meng Yong's Wang Die tried his best to collect one, and this time it was handed over to Han Feng, so that he could follow Wang Die's instructions and find this western suburbs manor.

However, what was waiting for him was a good hand hidden inside and out, and he couldn't approach it at all, and he was almost discovered-

Zhao Chen squatted there and pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and shook his nose, groping along the root of the wall.

For a moment, she pinched her nose in disgust, silently picked up the weeds under the wall, and hesitated at the dog hole...

By the time she reached the manor, she was dirty and a little broken.

She didn't pay attention, and quickly hid in the dark, looking at the purple-clothed guard looming in the shadows, with a slight puzzle in her eyes.

The Xie family has admired literature for generations, and they look down on martial artists very much, and most of the children in the family have never practiced martial arts, and there are no guards who can handle it.

But these purple-clothed people have a long breath and solid feet, and they are all first-class good hands.

Zhao Chen thought about it, but still suppressed his curiosity, and quietly moved inside, even his breathing subconsciously slowed down, for fear of being detected.

It was nearly a moment before she touched the atrium.

Seeing that although there were fewer purple-clothed people in the dark, the quality was higher, and she looked inside with some worry.

In the corner of the atrium, the candle flame is flickering, which should be the place where Xie Shiming and others have a secret conversation.

She struggled to prop up her ears, trembling and trembling in the wind, but she was still too far away to hear a word.

On the eaves, under the corridor, in the courtyard... In the shadows are the purple-clothed men patrolling.

She nested in the corner of the rockery, ruthless, or quietly climbed towards it, but she didn't climb far, and there was a slight sound of footsteps on the upper side, and then a corner of purple clothes was now very close to her.

She subconsciously withdrew her hand, held her breath and clinged to the fake stone, and looked at the corner of the purple clothes without moving.

Getting closer and closer, even the dark lines on it are clearly visible.

Zhao Chen froze and silently pulled out the short blade on his waist.

Just as she was engrossed, her internal strength was secretly raised, and she was ready to make a move, the man suddenly turned around and walked to the other side.

She was stunned, and quickly took advantage of the free time to climb up again, climbing the edge of the fake rock, and moving to the side where the candle was lit.

The sound of intermittent conversation came into her ears, and although it was not a sentence, she also heard that one was Xie Shiming.

The other was so strange that she thought about it for a long time, but decided to come closer.

“… Brother Xie... Accidentally... Soldiers..."The unfamiliar voice was still staccato.

Zhao Chen glanced secretly and saw that the person on the rockery was still facing away from her, so he shrank back and touched the corridor from the shadow of the rockery.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound from the rockery, and Zhao Chen looked back in amazement.

I saw that the person who had been facing away from her killed another man in purple who had just stepped on the rockery and was about to say something.

When the smell of blood cleared, the man jumped up to her and whispered, "Hurry up!" ”

"Why are you again!" Her eyes were full of gloom, and she glanced at the purple-clothed guards gathered around her, and ran away.
