"Alas, let me think about it, you've been investigating for the past few days, since General Ling is not in the royal cell, it's useless to go and investigate again. ”

Zhou Xingzhi sighed deeply, it seemed that there was no gain at all after so many days of hard work.

If Ling Kongshan hadn't been imprisoned in the royal cell, then she really couldn't figure out where the little emperor would have locked him up.

And it seems that even Song Lian disappeared with him.

That Lord Wu didn't have anything, according to what Xiao Jiu said, he was still active in the court.

According to the current momentum, it is estimated that this big move to choose a concubine is really going to end, just because of the matter of "Ling Shu", Zhou Xingzhi feels that it is impossible no matter how he thinks about it.

Ling Shu was originally the name that was finally added because of Song Lian's "mouthy", so strictly speaking, even if there was no her in the palace beauty, it didn't matter much.

Zhou Xingzhi didn't think that the "dead" Ling Shu could have such a great ability to shake the emperor's move to choose a concubine.

What else should be the reason for this, which is what Zhou Xingzhi is curious to know......

"I haven't been able to find the specific location of General Ling, even if you want to save him, there is no way. ”

Xiao Jiu told the truth.

Like Zhou Xingzhi, he is the kind of person who can't hide his words, and any emotional changes will be shown on his face.

The implicit meaning of these words is clear to Zhou Xingzhi.

Xiao Jiu was complaining that the people in Ling Guofu were unmoved, and let Zhou Xingzhi, an "outsider", run around for the matter of Lingkong Mountain.

Zhou Xingzhi naturally understood, but there was no way to explain this matter, so she said with a smile.

"You've been tired for a few days, so rest and let me think about it...... Seeing that the time is approaching, if I don't find a good way, I guess I will really fail again this time. ”

Listening to Zhou Xingzhi's helpless sigh, Xiao Jiu shrunk his neck before speaking.

"Xiao Jiu is not tired, this is much better than helping the inn to solicit business, if you are an adult, what do you need Xiao Jiu to do, just give a direct order. ”

After getting along for a few days, Xiao Jiu is still used to calling Zhou Xingzhi "son", but fortunately, he is slowly changing his words, and Zhou Xingzhi has not reminded him like before.

"I know, even if you say that, I ......"

Xiao Jiu's stubbornness was the same as his own, Zhou Xingzhi naturally knew it very well, and he wanted to say something more, but he heard another slight knock on the door.

"Who will it be at this time?...... Could it be the innkeeper?"

Zhou Xingzhi turned his face to look, and Xiao Jiu also stared at the door.

Zhou Xingzhi seriously instructed that if there was nothing important, the owner and the little maid of the Yuanxin Inn should not come to disturb the two.

Xiao Jiu turned his head and asked Zhou Xingzhi for advice.

Zhou Xingzhi nodded in reply, she picked up the white towel on the plate and wiped the corners of her mouth and hands by the way, and then pushed the plate and dishes forward.

The door was opened, and it was Si Yan's head poking in again.

Xiao Jiu shouted happily, and then opened the door widely.

Before Si Yan Xiaoye could speak, he turned his head and reported to Zhou Xingzhi happily inside.

"Lord Xingzhi, it's the little night boy who came yesterday. ”

"Saya?"

Zhou Xingzhi raised his eyebrows in confusion, not knowing why he came here early in the morning.

But since everyone has come, there is no reason why she should not see.

So she stood up, very entangled in her heart, thinking that "Su Mu" was smoking some kind of wind again, and wanted to call her to go.

"The ......"

After Xiao Jiu got out of the way, Si Yan Xiaoye walked in and met Zhou Xingzhi's gaze, hesitated, and looked like he wanted to say something.

Zhou Xingzhi was staring at him, with bad intentions.

"It's not going to be your lady again?......"

Zhou Xingzhi asked directly.

The stiffness of words and attitudes is the same.

Because he didn't sleep well by Si Yanmu last night, he saw Si Yanxiao early this morning, which made Zhou Xingzhi instantly think of Si Yanmu's cute face and the awkward personality that was completely opposite to his face.

At this time, Si Yan Xiaoye was holding his sleeves as always, and when he heard Zhou Xingzhi's direct question, his originally gentle smile instantly became embarrassing.

"That...... It's really my young lady's business, but this time it's related to you Gongzi Zhou. ”

"Is it related to us?......"

Zhou Xingzhi asked curiously, but he didn't quite understand the meaning of his words.

Before she could ask again, she saw Si Yan Xiaoye turn her head and ask politely to Xiao Jiu, who was standing beside Zhou Xingzhi.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoye has something important to discuss with your son-in-law, can you step down first?"

"Yes. ”

Before waiting for Zhou Xingzhi's order, Xiao Jiu responded very obediently, quickly put away the tableware on the table, and then closed the door lightly and went straight downstairs.

It seems that Xiao Jiu really likes Si Yan Xiaoye.

"We don't know you well, so what could be relevant to us?"

Zhou Xingzhi went straight to the point, she didn't like to talk and do things around the bush.

"My son-in-law asked Xiaoye to send you a seal to Mr. Zhou...... Letter over. ”

Si Yan Xiaoye was a little crying and laughing, although it was a letter, but he also knew very well that there was not a word in the letter.

And he put the letter paper in it himself.

"Letter?"

Zhou Xingzhi frowned, his eyebrows were put together, he asked rhetorically, and then asked again: "We are not very far away, even if he has anything to say, you can directly convey it on your behalf." ”

"That being said. ”

Si Yan Xiaoye didn't refute, and then took out the letter from the sleeve he was holding.

There was no signature on the letter, and there was not a single word in the letter.

Presented with both hands, when Zhou Xingzhi took it with doubts, Si Yan Xiaoye said.

"'If you can't understand the intention of this in a day, then give up saving Lingkong Mountain, no matter how much it is futile, if you understand it thoroughly, you will come here to see the master in person', this sentence is what my son-in-law asked Xiaoye to tell Zhou Gongzi to you. ”

"What does he mean by that?"

Zhou Xingzhi asked, looked at the letter that was not on the envelope, and asked rhetorically.

"To tell you the truth, after you left yesterday, Gongzi Zhou, Gongzi instructed Xiaoye to find out about Zhou Gongzi's recent itinerary.

After learning that you wanted to rescue the general of Lingkong Mountain, Childe asked Xiaoya to send you this letter. ”

"You...... You're investigating me?!"

Zhou Xingzhi's words paused, the envelope in his hand shook, his face instantly became solemn, and he instantly felt like he was being watched.

It's a very bad feeling.

When you don't know it, you don't know it, and you don't know it......

"I'm so sorry...... Xiao Ye thought, Childe should want to repay Zhou Gongzi for saving your life, that's why I let Xiao Ye do this, I'm really sorry to offend the two of you. ”

Si Yan Xiaoye saw Zhou Xingzhi's attitude change suddenly, and he bowed down while explaining, for fear that he would really provoke Zhou Xingzhi.

No matter what way he looks at it, he doesn't want to provoke Zhou Xingzhi, after all, it is not good for him at all, and Zhou Xingzhi also saved his son-in-law, this kindness is naturally higher than the sky.

If Si Yanmu hadn't met Zhou Xingzhi that night, he didn't know what would have happened in the end, and thinking of this made Si Yanxiao afraid.

Si Yan Xiaoye is by Si Yanmu's side, on the one hand, to take care of Si Yanmu's diet and daily life, and on the other hand, to protect him, he knows better than anyone that the latter is the key!

If something really happened to Si Yanmu, even if Si Yan died in the night, he would not be able to atone for his sins!......

Therefore, Zhou Xingzhi's efforts can be regarded as a life-saving grace for him.
