Qian Yun was the first person to find the note, she used to be responsible for Yun Ci's diet and daily life, and now she is still doing her old errands when she returns to Zhiyanxuan, but the master she serves is no longer the white-clothed fairy who returned with the wind.

When folding the clothes, Qianyun noticed that the note had fallen out, and immediately presented it to Xiu.

The handwriting on the note was crooked, and if it wasn't for the person's poor handwriting, it was done on purpose, not wanting to reveal his handwriting. But to whom is this note for?

Although these clothes belong to Chuxiu, the person who takes over the errand is Qianyun, and the dignified lady will not tidy up the clothes by herself. Moreover, Qian Yun has just returned to Zhiyanxuan, and there are not many people in the house who know about it, and before that, he has been taking care of Xiu's diet and daily life.

In this way, this note is most likely to be for lightness, but it is not excluded that it is for light rhyme or oneself. For a moment, Izuku had no clue.

"Tonight, the rockery in the inner garden, please watch the play." Izuku muttered the note again, pondering in her heart whether she should go tonight to find out, and who to send......

The inner garden rockery, that direction should be between the two hand-copying verandahs, and, the rockery is facing the place, the east and west sides of the hand-copying verandah connected by the garden, the east is the Jinlu Hall where Yunqi lives, and the west is the Nishang Pavilion where Yun Xiangrong lives.

The clouds rise, the clouds want to ...... A thought flashed through Izuku's mind, but when I tried to catch it again, I was at a loss again. She faintly felt that tonight's "play" was related to Yun Qi, and maybe it was also related to Yun Xiangrong, after all, this eldest lady of Yunfu had only come a few days ago, and the maid she begged for happened to be burning......

Should I go or not? What if it's a trap? Chu Xiu thought about it, if the person who came was aimed at herself, then as the widow of her Lixin Hou, the most vicious framing could only be in two aspects: either slandering her for not abiding by women's morals, or mutilating Yun Ci's "posthumous son".

If this is the case, Izuku is not afraid. A charge of "not keeping women's morals" will not be believed by Mrs. Tai; Second, she is a false pregnancy, so she is not afraid that someone will harm her to have a miscarriage. Thinking like this, Izumi felt that he should go on this trip, since there is a good show to embarrass about, if he doesn't enter the tiger's den, he will get the tiger?

However, before that, Izuku still thought about it carefully. She first summoned Qianyun and solemnly instructed: "You go and send a message to the little marquis, and ask him to stay in the wing room tonight to observe the situation." If Zi Shi knew that there were not five lanterns lit in front of the arch of Yanxuan, he would ask him to go to Rongjin Hall and ask Mrs. Tai to come forward to find me. ”

Qianyun received the order, but had questions: "Why don't you let the little marquis accompany you?" It's also safer. ”

Izuku shook his head: "Maybe the people behind the scenes are about to grab me, I'm a widow, and I go to the garden with men in the middle of the night, how can I say it clearly?" ”

Knowing this, she simply replied: "The slave will go and tell the little marquis." ”

After Qianyun left, Chuxiu called for a light heart: "In front of the main garden of Zhiyanxuan tonight, add an extra hook, but don't hang a lantern yet." Keep this secret, don't let anyone know. ”

Danxin didn't know about the note, although he was suspicious, he didn't ask much in the end, and obeyed the order.

Only then did Xiu greet Zhu Yang and said, "How many guards are on duty in the inner garden tonight?" Can you inquire? ”

Zhu Yang pondered for a moment and replied: "It stands to reason that the people in the second master's garden should be on duty, and the shift will be changed at the right time." ”

Hearing this, Izumi felt that I had to go tonight, but it was really dangerous to go alone. After thinking about it like this, she chose to believe Mrs. Tai's vision: "Zhu Yang, you and I have only known each other for five or six days, but you were personally selected by Mrs. Tai, and I won't hide it from you, I'm going to go to the inner garden tonight, maybe it's a little dangerous, I want you to come with me." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing some heroic looks, and nodded happily: "But listen to Madame's orders." ”

"You didn't understand what I me," Izuku paused, looking at her and asking, "I mean, this is hidden from Mrs. Tai beforehand. Can you do it? ”

This time, Zhu Yang's expression became subtle, and he did not answer immediately.

Is this displeasure? Still disobedient? I can't say it, I just feel that her noncommittal attitude is not as pleasant as the shallow rhyme and light-hearted love and hate.

Izuku thought about it, but still sighed in the end: "That's it, you obey Mrs. Tai's orders, I shouldn't have taught you to be embarrassed." ”

Zhu Yang still didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "You won't let me go with you?" Can you still find someone else? ”

"Nature can." Izuku thought of Takekage, originally she didn't want to take him there, after all, Takekage was a man. In the past, when Zhu Yang didn't come, she could still let Zhu Ying accompany the guards. But now that Mrs. Tai has transferred female guards, she also vaguely reminds her to pay attention to the difference between men and women. How can I not understand it?

It's just that she really wants to "watch the play"! If someone really helped her secretly, perhaps, Xia Yanran's death, or even Yun Ci's death, could have some unexpected gains tonight. This risk, she asked herself, it was worth taking.

Thinking of this, Izuku added another sentence to Zhu Yang: "You don't have to worry, he has good skills and should be able to protect my safety." ”

"Him?" Zhu Yang raised his eyebrows again, and suddenly stared at him, as if he was thinking.

"How?" Izumi still didn't understand the idea of this female guard, in fact, Zhu Yang was very young, looking about the same age as Zhu Ying, he should be one or two years older than Qianyun and Danxin, although she was not delicate and charming enough, but that heroic spirit was very unique, and it also added some unique charm and ...... Mystery.

"Madame should let her subordinates go down, they are also women, and it is more convenient to encounter problems." But listening to Zhu Yang's sudden change of words, he deliberately hooked his lips and emphasized: "What's more, his subordinates think that their fists and feet are not inferior to men." That tone sounded confident.

"That's the best, but please hide it from Mrs. Tai first." Until the last resort, or find any clues, Xiu didn't want to alarm her old man for no reason.

"My subordinates understand." Zhu Yang resumed his quick speech: "The subordinates are the guards of the lady, and the will of the lady is naturally the most important. ”

Hearing this, Izumi felt more down-to-earth, and explained some things to Zhu Yang in detail, and the two waited for the time to come......

*****

The night seemed to pass very slowly, and after arranging everything, Xiu still felt that time was running out and she was restless.

The night breeze at the beginning of March was still a little cool on the face, especially against the creepy night of this strange night. Just after three o'clock, Izuku and Zhu Yang both changed into black clothes and quietly walked out of the back door of Zhiyanxuan.

I don't know what method Zhu Yang used or what rhetoric he used, but I saw the two of them walking out all the way, and Zhiyanxuan's guards and secret guards did not move, no one asked, and no one stopped them.

Zhu Yang looked at Izumi's shivering shoulders, and said faintly behind her: "Madam." ”

Out of Xiu shrank for a moment, as if frightened, turned around and said softly: "Let's go side by side, you suddenly made a sound behind me, and my back was cold." ”

Zhu Yang sneered in a low voice and said, "Why don't Madame go back, if you can trust your subordinates, let your subordinates find out on your behalf." ”

Without thinking, Izuku categorically refused: "No, I have to go on this trip myself to feel at ease." Besides, I can't teach you to take risks for me alone. ”

"Isn't it the duty of the guards to protect the safety of the master?" Zhu Yang said unhurriedly and calmly: "I'm watching from behind, and you're so scared that you tremble." In that case, why force yourself to go? ”

"I'm afraid it's natural, and I'm a little nervous," Izuku said, pulling up the placket of her clothes, "and it's also a little cold." ”

"If Madame really feels cold, she might as well go back and add some clothes." Zhu Yang saw through it and didn't say it, and gave her a step down.

"It's too late." Izuku shook her head, obviously the word "cold" was just an excuse, she didn't want to show her fear in front of a girl of her age, especially the person sent by Mrs. Tai.

"Too late? Madame is fearless, not afraid of intrigues, nor afraid of the cold. Zhu Yang sneered again as he walked, his expression was a little relaxed.

Zhu Yang's reflection made Izuku a little surprised, in her eyes, the guards should be as silent and meticulous as Zhuying. Although Zhu Yang doesn't say much, he is obviously not a boring person, occasionally he doesn't go up or down, and his temperament is more casual, revealing confidence and ...... everywhere Disagree?

"Aren't you afraid?" Izuku asked what was in her heart.

Zhu Yang habitually raised his eyebrows: "Why should you be afraid?" Madame underestimated the skills of the Yun clan's iron guard 'bamboo'. ”

"The word 'bamboo'?" Yes, Bamboo Shadow is the word 'bamboo', and following Yun Ci's side, it should also be the top kung fu. But the ten-year-old girl in front of her is straight and slender, even if she is a little heroic, can her skills be compared with Bamboo Shadow? Izuku was a little unconvinced.

Zhu Yang saw Chuxiu's doubts, so he replied: "Only a first-class guard is the 'bamboo' character." As if she were stating the facts, she couldn't tell the pride or hardship, and her tone was extremely flat.

First class guards? In this way, Zhu Yang's kung fu can really be compared with Zhu Ying? Izuku suddenly understood why she was so calm, at least, she had no problem protecting herself.

Thinking about it, Izuku couldn't help but speed up her pace, just afraid that she would really miss the "good show" if she was late. Zhu Yang saw that his master had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, and went to the inner garden side by side with him.

When he reached the entrance of the garden, Zhu Yang stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Xiu and said, "The master is waiting for me here for a while, and I will go back when I go." ”

Chuxiu grabbed her urgently: "Don't, I'll go with you." ”

Zhu Yang glanced at her helplessly: "I'll go and 'solve' those guards on duty." ”

"Resolved?" Do you want to kill someone? Out of the Xiu shocked.

"I have a fragrance, go and go back." Zhu Yang hooked his lips and explained, a dodge has disappeared.

Izuku hid alone outside the secret door in the inner garden, and felt more and more that the wind was loud and the grass and trees were all soldiers. Obviously, Zhu Yang had only left for a while, but she felt that a long time had passed.

Fortunately, Zhu Yang's kung fu did not disappoint her, she really "went and returned", and when she returned, she was relaxed and casual, not only was she not injured, but even her breathing was very even and powerful.

"Let's go." Zhu Yang pulled over Xiu's right arm and suddenly jumped forward. The latter only felt that his mind sank, and the wind in his neck was cold. When he calmed down again, he had been drawn to the courtyard wall, and he was not far from the rockery.

Izumi was a little afraid of heights, and hurriedly covered her lips, just afraid that she would exclaim. She was about to speak, but Zhu Yang said "shhhh ”

The voice fell, and he looked in the direction of the rockery, and could only hear the night wind in his ears and hunting, but other than that, there was no movement.

There were doubts in my heart, but at this time, I saw a figure running in from the outer door of the inner garden, and it seemed that she was a fair woman. At the same time, at the verandah on the west side, a person also hurriedly walked over.

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and after walking into the rockery with their front and back feet, it was by no means the first time they had met here.
