Chapter 208: Old Knowledge
The sixth room of the Xie family in Shouyang has gradually come out of the darkness of the home. Xie Shi is gone, Xie Wang has unloaded his military power and guarded filial piety at home, as for Xie Shi's widow Guo, no one in the house can suppress her, and life has become sparse.
The state mourning is finally here.
The Langya Wang family, who had not moved for a long time, finally couldn't lose face, and sent a letter urging Xie Daoyun to return. After receiving the letter, Xie Daoyun was not happy. It was Xie An who wrote to persuade her, and she relented.
After Mu Qingcheng and Guan Sanye came to Shouyang, they did not rush to save Huan Xuan from the predicament, but secretly inquired about Xie Zhi's whereabouts.
Xie Shi's sixth room has filial piety, and Xie Shi's only son, Xie Wang, is no longer a director. As soon as the first emperor of the Southern Dynasty died, the situation of the court was about to change. Even though Xie An, the patriarch of the Xie clan, had the strength to turn the tide, he couldn't support his illness after running around for a few days.
At this time, the Xie clan could only put away their edge and keep their eyes open.
The responsibilities of the sixth room were handed over to Xie Zhi, but fortunately, his original responsibilities were transferred to his father Xie Siye, and he only concentrated on taking over the affairs of the sixth room, which was easy for a while.
How could Wang Gong do it for the second time, obviously he was going to Sima Daozi, the evil king of Lang, but he didn't know how to break his defense first, which made him very annoyed.
In the past few days, he has frequently gone out of the city, and there is no shadow all day.
When Mu Qingcheng and Guan Sanye found him, he was discussing with people at the post station whether he should raise troops to stop Wang Gong.
The two listened to the corner for a moment, and they thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Killing one Xie is killing, and killing another Xie Wang is also killing.
The Xie clan is a big problem in their hearts, and if they kill one, they will lose one, so why not do it.
The people inside were still discussing and had not found them. Mu Qingcheng motioned to Guan Sanye to continue staring, while she pretended to be a soldier from the post station, and went to the Xie Mansion to call the door guard to go in and deliver a message.
said that he would like to thank him and invite him to the meeting.
Xie Wang was accompanying Guo at home, and when he got the message, he didn't see the person who reported it, and although he had doubts in his heart, he immediately left for the post station.
As soon as he left, Mu Qingcheng, who was hidden in the shadows, immediately took off his soldier's clothes and disguised himself as a maid from Xie Mansion. She used this trick handy, relying on her familiarity with the Xie family's six rooms, she quickly found Huan Xuan.
Since the last incident, the Xie family's six rooms have guarded Huan Xuan more strictly. Mu Chengcheng still knocked out the maid who delivered the food in the corridor, pretending to be her, so that the journey was smooth.
Huan Xuan is still the handsome boy who is as bright as the moon, even if he is in prison, he is also content. Now, he is wearing a smoky willow-colored spring shirt, and his black hair is tied casually with a white hosta. The spring light was just right, and he was sitting in the water pavilion in the courtyard, holding a book in his hand, and he was fascinated.
Behind him, there should have been a pool of lotuses. It's just that the season is not right, and even the lotus leaves haven't grown yet. The spring breeze swept across the surface of the pool, stirring the water rippling, and the ripples reflected on Huan Xuan's body, as if in a dream.
Mu Qingcheng walked over as if in a dream, "Master Huan." ”
Her voice shattered the silence.
Huan Xuan didn't even raise his eyes, and even turned a page, "What does Mrs. Wang command?" ”
"Madame Wang?" Mu Qingcheng was slightly stunned, and then thought of Xie Daoyun, who was not leaving, and his heart couldn't help sinking.
As if sensing that something was wrong, Huan Xuan finally took his eyes off the book.
Mu Qingcheng came to see Huan Xuan on a temporary basis, although she changed into the clothes of a maid, she did not change her appearance. Huan Xuan recognized her at a glance and said "Huh".
"Is that you?"
Mu Qingcheng knew that there was not much time, so he didn't dare to rub it off, so he hurriedly collected his mind, taking advantage of the fact that the guards outside had not yet found out. She lowered her voice and said, "The princess ordered me to rescue Gongzi out, and tonight, please prepare for Gongzi early." ”
Huan Xuan raised his eyebrows: "Princess? ”
Mu Qingcheng couldn't wait to bite off his tongue.
God sent the devil, what did she do to mention the princess. However, as soon as the words had been spoken, in order to dispel his scruples, he had to reluctantly say: "The princess has recovered her memory, recalling the past righteous help of the son, and specially ordered me to repay the friendship of the son." ”
She deliberately said something extraordinary, Huan Xuan smiled disapprerovingly, "She still owes others ...... like this"
Mu Qingcheng looked at him silently, and felt a little annoyed in his heart.
Huan Xuan didn't know what he thought, and his smile grew, "Well, since it's her order, I don't dare to disobey." ”
He and Tianjin are old acquaintances, and they know her character well. She sent someone to save him this time, I'm afraid it wasn't just as simple as repaying the friendship.
He, a man who has been idle for so long, has to nourish his bones. Finally I don't have to endure it anymore, it's good, he's happy to go out.
Therefore, no matter what Tianjin's intentions were, he was very willing to cooperate with her.
Huan Xuan looked at Mu Qingcheng again, with a shallow smile, "Then according to the agreement, Huan Xuan will be waiting for you here today." ”
Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He said something else, knowing that he might be unintentional, but she already had a different mind about him, and now she felt that her face was hot, and she didn't care about anything else, so she just nodded indiscriminately.
Afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would make a mistake, so she casually found an excuse and ran away.
Huan Xuan stood in place and watched her leave, his expression slightly stunned. It seems that he doesn't understand when he is so unpopular.

Guan Sanye is still guarding the post station.
Xie Wang had already arrived, and was being led by the people in the post station, walking towards the corridor. Guan Sanye's hand had just pressed to the handle of the knife on his waist, and he suddenly felt a sinking beside him.
Mu Qingcheng was in a hurry, his face was slightly red, and the corners of his forehead were covered with a layer of fine sweat.
She came back a little late, but Guan Sanye was not a good person, and asked without blinking: "When will you start?" ”
Mu Qingcheng gasped slightly, and pouted in the direction of Xie Wang, "Wait for him to go in." ”
While speaking, the two of them coincidentally pulled out a black towel from their arms and covered their faces, leaving only two eyes to see things.
After the people of the post station brought Xie Wang to him, he was sent away. Xie Wang raised his hand and knocked on the door.
There was a moment of silence inside.
Soon someone came to answer the door, and when he saw the person who came, the man was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of bowing his hand and invited him in.
Seeing Xie Wang, Xie Zhi was very surprised, "Why is Brother Wang here?" ”
Xie Wang: "Didn't you send someone to call me to come to discuss the matter?" ”
As soon as these words came out, both of them changed their faces.
Xie Zhi immediately took the case, "Who is so bold!" ”
The door was kicked open at this time, and before everyone could react, Guan Sanye had already rushed in with a knife. He suddenly attacked, with a clear goal, locked on Xie Wang, who was closest to him, and caught him off guard. Without noticing, Xie Wang's shoulder was slashed heavily.
Xie Wang was in pain, covering his wound and retreating again and again.
Several people in the room were still in shock, and Xie Zhi had already reacted first, and was furious: "Bastard! Dare to hurt my brother, what a big dog! ”
As soon as he drank it, everyone finally realized something, and they all pulled out their matching swords and stepped forward to help.
Guan Sanye sneered, he was not afraid, and he did not occupy the peak with one enemy and three enemies.
Xie Zhi ran to Xie Wang's side, "Brother Wang, how are you?" ”
Xie Wang was injured in his right arm, the wound was bone-piercing, and the bright red blood stained his clothes red with the sewing of his hand, and flowed all over the ground.
A smell of blood.
The other party was ruthless, and if he hadn't dodged quickly, the knife would have slashed at his neck. He clutched his wounds, unable to speak in pain, and his face turned pale as fast as he could see.
