The carriage made two more turns, and went some way further, when it suddenly jolted violently, as if it had crossed a threshold, and then heard the door knock, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"Master Xie, please get out of the car."

At this time, a slightly old, but somewhat elegant voice sounded outside the carriage, which was not at all like the indifference and ferocity of the person who had just driven.

Xie Rong stabilized his mind, motioned to Pang Xin to open the car door, and bowed down to get out of the car.

Standing in front of him was an old man in his fifties, with an elegant posture and a kind face, looking at him with a smile. Xie Rong's heart moved, and he was about to call him, but the old man stopped with a smile: "Lord Xie doesn't need to be polite, our husband has been waiting for Lord for a long time, please come with me." ”

Turns out he's not Mr. Seven yet!

Xie Rong held down the vibration in his heart, shook his jaw, followed the old man up the stairs through the hall, and then went to the inner house.

It turned out that this was a big house with four entrances before and after, and the place where he settled was the front yard of this house, Mr. Seven asked him to go to Camellia Hutong to meet, but he had been to that Hutong, and this was clearly not Camellia Hutong, where is there such a big house in Camellia Hutong?

His doubts deepened, and he followed the old man around a few corridors, and then entered the back garden.

I saw a few palace lamps lit in the water pavilion near the lake, and the curtains in the water pavilion fluttered with the evening breeze, and there were many people inside, and the fragrance of tea had already floated out.

The old man led Xie Rong to the outside of the water pavilion, and said with a smile: "Mr. is in the house, please come in and talk." ”

Xie Rong glanced at the hidden door, nodded, pushed the door and walked in.

Facing the door, there was a table of eight immortals, and a person dressed in a moon-white silk robe sat on the futon behind the desk, smiling and holding a glass at him, "Lord Xie, I'm glad to meet." ”

His voice was slightly hoarse, but it was very beautiful in a slow tone, and his eyes shone brightly, but nothing else could be seen, for he wore a mask on his face.

Xie Rong was a little stunned, he didn't expect that he would not be able to see Mr. Seven's true face this time.

"Mr. Seven?" He probed the tunnel.

"Yes, that's what everybody calls me." Mr. Seven nodded, stretched out a hand, and pointed to the brocade cushion on the side of the Eight Immortals Table, "Please take a seat." ”

Xie Rong glanced around the room before slowly sitting down on the brocade mat at his signal.

"Do you have a lot of questions, why did I make an appointment to meet you in Camellia Hutong, but I asked someone to bring you here?" Mr. Seven spread his hands and said.

Xie Rong looked at his fingertips and said calmly: "I was very puzzled, but now I can't." People say that the three holes of the cunning rabbit, if Mr. does not have a few reliable footholds, how can he be safe and sound in Beijing for so many years? The residence in Camellia Hutong is just one of the gentlemen, and the temporary change of location is naturally in case I let people come with me later. ”

"Clever." Mr. Seven praised, "However, the adult still guessed a little wrong, I am not guarding against the adult being followed, but the adult is being followed but still knows nothing." ”

Xie Rong's face froze, "What do you mean?" ”

Mr. Seven opened a glass from the upside-down cup and plate on the table and poured him half a glass of wine, "Xie Wan has always set up a secret tip in the four-leaf alley to monitor the adults, don't the adults know at all?" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xie Rong, and said with a smile: "Of course, I didn't know until Fang." If it weren't for my people secretly escorting me all the way, tonight, the matter of the adults coming here to see me would have fallen into Xie Wan's ears. ”

Xie Rong was very shocked, Xie Wan was spying on him, he didn't know at all!

"So, Mr. sent someone to follow me?"

"Don't be annoyed, if you were me, you would do the same." Mr. Seven glanced at him, held the cup and said, "In the past, when Ji Ge was old, I already knew your name like thunder, and I knew you far more than you knew about me. Sometimes, like me, you're a person who won't give up until you achieve your goal, don't you say? ”

Xie Rong paused and said slowly: "It is Xie Rong's honor to be on a par with Mr. Mr. has worked hard for many years, only one step away from the success, and after the failure, he withdrew neatly, without leaving any trace of people, can be described as the world's first chic person, Xie Rong is no longer enough, now the wind outside is very unfavorable to Mr., Mr. can still walk around and laugh, which Xie Rong admires even more. ”

"Aren't you also calm about the loss of office?"

Mr. Seven took a sip of wine and smiled faintly, "I heard that you are looking for me, and it just so happens that I also lack a friend who drinks and chats, so I took the liberty to post to Mr., and I don't know if I have the honor to make friends with adults?" ”

Xie Rong looked at the dark red liquor in his hand, the corners of his lips raised slightly, raised his glass and sniffed it, and then held it in his hand and said: "Sir, if you only need to find friends who drink and chat, then I believe that Mr. can easily find a lot when he takes off this mask and walks out." ”

Mr. Seven looked at his lightly shaking wine glass, and also raised his lips and said, "What if, what if you add the item of dividing the world equally?" ”

The wine glass in Xie Rong's hand suddenly stopped, the wine couldn't contain its inertia, and it hit the mouth of the wine and came back, rippling out a dark red and translucent hops.

"Sir, just believe me?"

"I should ask you that."

Mr. Seven rested on the eight-sided table with one hand, and his gaze behind the mask became sharp, "Aren't you looking for me in every possible way just to cooperate with me?" You Xie Rong is not a person who gives up easily, this is exactly the same as me. People like you and me are actually outlaws, either they have to do everything in the world or they will be defeated, and they can achieve their goals without you and me, and no one knows what will happen to you and me in the end. ”

Xie Rong's chest rose and fell.

He was right, he was looking for him hard just to cooperate with him, Mr. Seven wanted to win the world, and he wanted to be a very human minister, and if there is a king in the world, there will be a minister, and the goals of the two are so similar and there is no conflict, isn't this a match made in heaven?

"But how can I trust the sincerity of my husband's cooperation with me, and not just to use me for the sake of using me?" He put the glass back on the table, his tense nerves loosening. By this point, he was sure that he was in no danger. "You have to at least let me know who I'm working with, and what is your motivation for working hard for more than ten years?"

Mr. Seven's fingers tapping lightly on the table paused on the table, and his whole body paused.

"You're not one to suffer." He laughed. "But even if I show you my true colors, you won't know me. And we're working together for the first time, so it's better if you don't know so much about me. Good for you. ”

Xie Rong nodded.

In fact, he just doesn't agree and can't do it, and now the person who asks for someone is him, not the other party. And he is not the kind of person who only admits death and does not know how to be flexible, the reason why Mr. Seven has been able to lurk in the Jingshi for so many years must be that he is very cautious, if he is easily let know his details, he will have to wonder if there is something strange behind this.

Meeting today is only the first step, and there will be more opportunities to meet in the future, and he will always know who he is.

"And what about the purpose of the gentleman?" He didn't intend to let this go, "If you can't even tell this gentleman, then I can only tell Mr. enough regrets." ”

Mr. Seven raised his glass, suddenly drank the wine at the bottom of the cup in one gulp, swallowed it slowly, and then looked at him and said, "Have you heard of Prince Hui'an?" ”

"Prince Hui'an?"

Xie Rong's eyes froze.

After dinner in the Anmu Palace, he was discussing how to end the robbery in the Longteng Pavilion.

According to the meaning of the protector of the country, he simply made the fake play true, killed Yin Lei and then abandoned the body of Zheng Wangfu, Wei Bin naturally objected, "If this is the case, it will become an indiscriminate killing of innocents, which is not in line with our purpose, and it is even more detrimental to the wisdom of the prince." I still have to think of a proper way to send people back, and I can force the emperor to give something. ”

Xie Wan also felt that the proposal of the protector was too bloody, although King Zheng was very hateful, but now in his mind, he was afraid that he was instigated by others many times, of course, this could not be a reason for her to forgive him, but remembering the scene when Ding Jun and Jian'an Hou hugged each other and cried on the city gate, she still couldn't put her mind to kill an innocent person like this.

"Mr. Seven, aren't they haunted by Camellia Hutong? It's better to draw the emperor's attention to the camellia alley, and borrow the hand in the palace to poke Mr. Seven again. ”

Qi Ruzheng said with a frown.

"Is this good, and what benefits can you get from the emperor?" Xie Wan said. She can't let go of this opportunity to pluck the emperor's hair, what is the embarrassment of not letting him have some blood after making such a big move?

Wu Huaining also nodded when he heard this.

Everyone was meditating, but Sun Shiqian suddenly came in again, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "Lord and Princess, Qian Zhuang has been attacked!" ”

"What?"

Hearing that Qian Zhuang had an accident, Xie Wan was the first to walk to the door, and Xing Zhu involuntarily walked over.

"Where are the people? What's going on? ”

"The person has been brought back by Zhou Nan, and now he is being treated by Hu Qin, it seems that he has been poisoned, and his condition is not very good." Sun Shiqian said worriedly.

"Let's take a look!" Yin Yu gave an order and took the lead in walking out of the door.

Wei Bin and the Protector glanced at each other, and also went out to rush over.

Qian Zhuang has been sent to the side courtyard where he usually lives, Zhou Nan, Hu Feng and Wu Kui are all there, Qian Zhuang, who is lying on the bed, has a dark face, and the blood stains on his calves are purple-black!

"Where was Qian Zhuang attacked? Who was injured? ”

Xie Wan came in and took a look, and then quickly found Zhou Nan and asked.

Zhou Nandao: "Back to the princess, we found someone going out in Siye Hutong before, and Qian Zhuang noticed something wrong, so he said that he would follow and take a look." And when I packed up my things and chased after him, I couldn't find anyone, and finally found him attacked at the mouth of the alley near the City God Temple, and he was injured and fell to the ground at that time! ”

"And who did you see who did it?"
