At this time, it is not yet the time of the third pole of the sun, even if Zhanhuai sets off before dawn, he will not arrive at Qingwangfu so early, so Huo Roufeng still has time.

It was rare for her to get up early, and it was rare for her to wander around the capital early in the morning, so while she was waiting for Qingjiang, she let the carriage stop under a big tree on the side of the road, pushed open the small window inlaid with Western glass, and she looked outside.

Huo Roufeng is not familiar with this area, it is close to the clan camp, there are no teahouses and restaurants, there are no small toys to sell, and there are no birds and goldfish sellers, and a half-old child of her age will not be interested in this kind of serious place.

She'd been here twice, but she hadn't gotten out of the carriage either, and there was nothing fun here anyway, so she simply didn't pay attention to it.

Looking out of the car now, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Bundo!

There is actually a Chuwen Hall near the clan camp!

Seeing that there is still a red paper on the door that says "Good for Opening", it is obvious that this shop has not been opened for a long time.

Huo Roufeng hurriedly called Zhang Ting to inquire, and after a while, Zhang Ting trotted back: "Ninth master, the little one inquired clearly, this Chuwentang was opened on the fifth day of the first month, the shopkeeper's surname is Zhang, the name of the book, Shandong, in the early years in a carving workshop in Jinan Mansion was a shopkeeper, in this line of fame, on the day of the opening, several large carving workshops in the capital have sent congratulatory plaques. This shop originally belonged to the Huang family, and it belonged to Huang Xianjun, Uncle Huang's cousin, Huang Shichang, who sold the shop last year, and somehow it went to Zhang Shuzhi's hands. ”

Huo Roufeng nodded approvingly, Zhang Ting was becoming more and more clever, and it only took a moment to inquire clearly.

As early as when he was in Hangzhou, Huo Roufeng asked Zhang Shengping to find someone to investigate the Pick-up Hall, although the Pick-up Hall has a semicolon and a general number, but all the people in each branch are the shopkeepers of this shop, at that time, she checked and checked, but did not find any clues about Xie Sicheng.

Needless to say, even if you go to the yamen to check, it must have nothing to do with Xie Sicheng.

It was early in the morning, although the hall had already opened its doors to welcome guests, but no guests entered, and a young man in a green cloth jacket was wiping the door with a rag.

Huo Roufeng said to Zhang Ting: "From today onwards, find two clever ones and stare this shop to death for the master." ”

Zhang Ting had heard of the Pick-up Hall when he was in Hangzhou, and later came to the capital, he followed Huo Roufeng to see Xie Sicheng, and he knew that Xie Sicheng was the owner of the Pick-up Hall, and when he saw this shop today, even if Huo Roufeng didn't tell him, he would pay attention.

It was at this time that Qingjiang returned.

"Ninth master, you are clairvoyant, there is really a beautiful fish seller in the big yard, the slave maid has inquired, and they all said that they haven't seen her these days, and somehow, she came to the stall just after dawn today."

Huo Roufeng breathed a long sigh of relief, she didn't have to worry about it, it seemed that Zhanhuai had already arranged everything.

Hua Sanniang was in Fengtai a few days ago, where did she go before, although she didn't ask, but she guessed a few points. Yesterday, Zhanhuai once asked her to come back with Hua Sanniang, but later let her and Huo Qingzhou go first, she thought that Zhanhuai would leave Hua Sanniang in Fengtai, and today she also had a whim, so she asked Qingjiang to take a look in the big courtyard, but she didn't expect Hua Sanniang to be really here.

The carriage continued to move forward, and soon came to the vicinity of King Qing's mansion.

Huo Roufeng asked the carriage to stop at the mouth of a deserted alley in the distance, and waited for a full hour before Zhang Xuan, who went to inquire about the news, came back: "Ninth Master, Fifth Master Zhan has arrived." ”

Huo Roufeng immediately sat up and asked, "What about people?" ”

"When the fifth master saw the small one, he didn't say anything, and went straight into the palace." Zhang Xuan said.

Since Zhan Huai saw Zhang Xuan, he didn't have to guess to know that Huo Roufeng was nearby, but he didn't send him over to ask, so he entered the palace by himself, and it was clear that he didn't want to take her with him.

Huo Roufeng was depressed and punched his thigh.

She is so useless, not only can she not help Zhanhuai, but she can only be a drag on him.

She remembered that when she was in Xiyingmen, at a dangerous moment, Zhanhuai asked Hua Sanniang to move her to a safe place, and she didn't come out until everything was safe.

Huo Roufeng has never hated herself like today, there are already many people who protect her, there is no shortage of arms, she just wants to be a good brother with him, fight side by side with him, advance and retreat together.

Huo Roufeng just thought about it, and her blood boiled, where could she still sit still, she couldn't go to the mountains immediately, find a master who had lived in seclusion for many years, and learn martial arts that could go to heaven and earth. The next time Xiao Zhan wants to protect her, she can wave her arm and say, "Xiao Zhan stand back, let me come!" ”

Fortunately, she soon came to her senses, and went to the mountains to find things that were not in the world, which seemed to only exist in the word book. There are a lot of guards in the house, since the ninth master can make the various sects and factions of the rivers and lakes like a few treasures, of course, he has not forgotten to start from the people around her, she once took the trouble to ask the guards about the origin of their martial arts, the origin of the sect, yes, the ninth master asked everyone, none of them are martial arts learned from masters outside the world.

Huo Roufeng thought wildly, she thought of at least a hundred ways to learn martial arts, and even thought of more than ten ways to get her sister to agree, so she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Xiaozhan, one day, I won't be a burden to you anymore!

At that time, you don't have to protect me, I have the ability to protect myself, and I can still protect my sister, protect the Huo family, and protect you.

Until many years later, whenever Huo Roufeng remembered this winter morning, she sat in the carriage outside King Qing's Mansion and waited for Zhanhuai, and she could still think of this feeling of being stuck in her throat and her heart fluttering.

This is the first time in her two lives that she can't wait, and it is also the first time that she can't do anything.

If the person Zhanhuai saw was not Zhang Xuan, but herself, would she also pretend not to know?

I don't know!

This is the only protection they can give each other at this time, and it is also the most helpless and cursed.

Huo Roufeng didn't know how long he had been sitting in the carriage until Zhang Xuan came in again: "Ninth Master, Fifth Master Zhan has left." ”

Huo Roufeng woke up like a dream, and she asked anxiously, "Did he say anything?" ”

Zhang Xuan scratched his scalp and said, "Fifth Master Zhan...... After Zhan Wuye's horse walked over, the little one saw that Zhan Wuye seemed to arch his hand, that is, looking at it from the back, his elbow was raised, as if he was holding a fist, and the little one didn't know if he was wrong......

Crystal tears swirled in her eyes, and Huo Roufeng nodded.

Zhang Xuan is not mistaken, he must not be mistaken, Zhanhuai used this way, and then thanked him, the person he thanked was not Zhang Xuan, but her behind Zhang Xuan, Huo Roufeng.
