The clouds and mist gradually dispersed, and the blue and blue distant mountains became clear, and the birds and birds in the mountains and forests chirped harmoniously.

Han Changwan and the three of them walked down the stone steps, the courtyards under the mountain were far more than the ones on the mountain, one after another, it was the time to do morning food, and the smoke was connected together, adding a bit of wild interest to the mountains.

The garrison of the Beiya Forbidden Army is located at the foot of the mountain, and if you want to find the forbidden army, you must pass by the courtyard where the Internal Security Division is stationed.

As if Han Changdui suddenly remembered something, he paused, turned around and walked in.

He Denglou and Gu Chen glanced at each other in surprise, and also raised their legs and followed.

The station of the Internal Security Division is the same as the station of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, and there is a very spacious school field for training soldiers and martial arts.

The internal guards, like the forbidden army, are all living by licking blood on the tip of a knife, and the kung fu in their hands cannot be left behind for a moment, and the kung fu in their hands is weak, which is inextricably linked to their own lives.

As soon as Han Changdui walked into the courtyard, the internal guards who were practicing immediately accepted their moves, held their breath, and stood with their hands tied.

Han Changdui didn't speak, glanced at the main room, but went straight to the ear room, turned his head and instructed Gu Chen, "Go get pen and ink."

Gu Chen understood, but after a moment's effort, the pen and ink were sent to the ear room, Han Changdui quickly wrote a letter, stuffed it into a small bamboo tube, sealed it with a fire paint wax seal, and handed it to Gu Chen, his voice was cold: "Send a book to Leng Shao Yin Feinu, be fast."

Gu Chen knew the severity and hurriedly went to the cage to catch the flying slave.

There were two cages in the ear room, each containing four flying slaves.

The ear room was cleaned clean, there was no peculiar smell, and the wings of the flying slave were also bushy and shiny.

One of the two cages contains a snow-white winged slave, while the other contains a gray-winged slave.

These two winged slaves sent messages to different places.

Gu Chen grabbed a gray-winged flying slave from the cage, and after closing the cage, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and raised his eyes to look into the cage to take a second look.

After seeing this glance, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed loudly with a panicked expression, "Why is there one less flying slave!?"

These flying slaves are an important thing to convey news, and the Internal Security Department has special people to serve these flying slaves, and there are two special internal guards to carefully serve them, not to mention one less, even if it is a feather, it is a big deal.

One of the two guards who served the flying slaves was in his thirties, a veteran of serving the flying slaves, and the other was his little apprentice, with a green face, but he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, the little apprentice with a green face staggered in fright, panicked, and hurriedly leaned over to look, "What, one is missing, this is impossible." He counted several times in a row: "Gu Zongqi, there is no shortage of flying slaves, there are a total of eight flying slaves, one was used the night before, you still have one in your hand, and there are exactly seven left."

Gu Chen glanced at the internal guard, and said with a gloomy face: "When I left Beijing, I brought four flying slaves from Jingzhao Mansion, and the one I used the night before was only the flying slave of the Internal Security Division, how could there be only three flying slaves left in Jingzhao Mansion, and where did one go?"

The little apprentice chuckled in his heart, threw himself out of the cage and counted carefully a few times, his face suddenly turned pale, he only cared about counting the total number of flying slaves, the total number could be matched, but he forgot to count the number of flying slaves separately.

And the veteran who specializes in playing with the flying slave is hiding behind the little apprentice, probing his brain with a panicked face, looking like he wants to see but doesn't dare to look at it.

Gu Chen turned his head, saw the man at a glance, reached out and grabbed him, pressed him to the cage, and his voice was unprecedentedly cold: "Wang Dong, what are you hiding!"

Wang Dong struggled for a moment: "Humble duty, no, no hiding."

Han Changdui listened for a moment, the matter of the loss of the flying slave was not big, it was not small, especially at this moment, it had to be treated with caution.

He walked over slowly, his voice was not loud, but it was extremely cold: "You didn't hide, what are you doing?"

Wang Dong looked in a hurry, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, there is no weakness in the humble position."

Han Changwan glanced at Wang Dong deeply, turned his head and asked Gu Chen, "You let the slave out the night before?" What color is that flying slave, and where is it going?"

Gu Chen was simply stunned, opened his mouth slightly, and opened his mouth to stammer, "My lord didn't receive the Feinu Summon!?"

Han Changdui looked dazed and shook his head slightly: "No! Are you saying that the slave who was released the night before was a letter to the official?"

Gu Chen's face had changed, and he felt ominous: "Yes, it's Ah Qi, oh, it's the white flying slave who Yao joined the army to deliver a message to the adults, and he personally captured him." He stared at the four snow-white flying slaves, puzzled: "It's strange, the humble official obviously let a white flying slave go out to deliver the message, why are there a lot of them now."

Han Changdui slowly looked at Wang Dong, his eyes were deep, and he saw his neck shrinking weakly, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "I have to ask him!"

Wang Dong staggered in fright, fell to his knees and said, "Humble duty, humble duty, humble duty really don't know anything, last night I saw a flying slave fall in the yard, humble duty, just caught it in a cage, humble duty doesn't know anything else!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen's eyes shrank fiercely, no wonder, no wonder Wang Dong is so weak-hearted, these flying slaves have just come to Yuhua Mountain, and after they are released, they will only fly to the capital, and they will not fly back.

Han Changdui twisted his sleeves and said thoughtfully, "The official of the Flying Slave Biography has not received it, so where did the Flying Slave who was released go? How did they fly back?"

Wang Dong's heart was empty, and he said: "The mountains in Yuhua Mountain are steep and complicated, and the flying slaves are lost for a while, and there are also those who get lost."

Gu Chen glanced at Wang Dong fiercely: "This flying slave was raised by you personally, so naturally you are most familiar with it, so tell me, how did it fly back when it got lost?"

Wang Dong's face turned blue, and he said, "This, this."

Gu Chen didn't care about Wang Dong's embarrassment at all, he still pressed step by step, and his words were particularly aggressive: "You mean that Feinu couldn't find a way back to Beijing, and he was dizzy in Yuhua Mountain, but he was able to find the courtyard that he had just stayed in for a day or two!"

Wang Dong looked at Gu Chen's eyes with hidden anger, he winced, and couldn't say half a word.

Han Changdui's heart sank, and he asked coldly, "Wang Dong, when did you find out that one of the flying slaves in the Jingzhao Mansion Office was missing?"

Wang Dong's heart was weak, and he stumbled and said, "No, lowly duty, lowly duty didn't find out, lowly duty, yes, I just learned about this matter just now."

Han Changdui snorted coldly, "Really?"

Wang Dong shook violently, his face was full of horror, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

Gu Chen also understood, grabbed Wang Dong, and said angrily: "Just now, you were full of panic, and you were not the slightest surprised, obviously you already knew that there was one less flying slave in the Jingzhao Mansion Bureau!"

Wang Dong looked at Gu Chen, and then at Han Changdu, knowing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he was so frightened that he trembled, and said tremblingly: "Yes, it was last night, last night, when I caught the flying slave who fell in the yard and caught it in the cage, I found it."

Han Changdui was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this flying slave from the Jingzhao Mansion Office had been lost before last night.

Gu Chen also chuckled in his heart, this flying slave had been lost for so long, and he didn't know what kind of news had been sent back.

Thinking of this, he was furious and kicked Wang Dong fiercely: "I found out that the flying slave was lost, why didn't you report it!"

Wang Dong was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he defended hesitantly: "Despicable, despicable thinks, that is, that is the flying slave of the Jingzhao Mansion Bureau, no, it doesn't matter, just, just," he suddenly "knocked knock" and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "My lord, my lord, I am guilty of being humble, I am guilty of being humble, I beg my lord, I beg my lord to forgive my sins, I am sins!"

Han Changdui was so troubled by the noise that his brows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "When Yao joined the army the night before and wanted to fly slaves to pass the book, were you next to you?"

Wang Dong lowered his head and said in a humble heart: "Humble, humble, humble."

The little apprentice answered: "The words of the envoy are the flying slaves who came to find Yao in the army with the lowly position, but later Yao joined the army and asked the lowly to get the pen and ink, and the lowly post left for a while, and when the lowly took the pen and ink back, he happened to meet Gu Zongqi, and Gu Zongqi took the pen and ink to the ear room to find Yao to join the army

I don't know."

Han Changdu's face was expressionless, and he let out a noncommittal "um".

Who did it do with the flying slaves?

Where did the missing flying slave from the Jingzhao Mansion Office go?

Han Changwan didn't want to doubt Yao Qi in his heart, but what happened in the past few days couldn't help but make him suspicious.

He took out the letter that had just been sealed, added another sentence at the end of the letter, dried the ink and resealed it, and handed it to Gu Chen: "Send the letter to Leng Shaoyin first." He glanced at Wang Dong again: "Take Wang Dong down again and hand it over to He Zongqi for interrogation."

Hearing this, Wang Dong's face was colorless, and he couldn't stand up for a long time.

Gu Chen responded, tied the bamboo tube to the Fei Nu's legs, walked to the courtyard, and threw the Fei Nu in the direction of the capital.

Then Wang Dong was handed over to He Zhenfu for strict interrogation.

Gu Chen turned back and stood with his hands tied: "My lord, the flying slave has been released."

Han Changdui nodded, turned around and walked out of the ear room, and explained to the little apprentice, "Take good care of these flying slaves."

The little apprentice should claim to be.

Han Changwei and Gu Chen walked into the main room, he closed the door with his backhand, glanced at Gu Chen deeply, and asked meaningfully, "Gu Zongqi and Yao have known each other for many years?"

Gu Chen said "um", and said inexplicably: "Yes, when he was setting up a fortune-telling stall in the West Market, Yao joined the army and scolded people in the West Market, and he knew him."

With a "flutter", Han Changwan burst out laughing, and opened his mouth to stammer, "Yes, yes!"

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Yes, my lord, you heard it right, it's a scolding, I'm afraid I haven't seen Ah Ji scolding others, it's just an insult to her ears, blinding her so good-looking face!"

Han Changdui looked shocked, opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time, before his cheeks twitched, and asked, "The night before yesterday, Yao joined the army and passed the book to this official, was it you who went to catch the flying slave?"

Gu Chen nodded: "It's a lowly position, and the lowly position remembers it very clearly, it was a snow-white flying slave that was captured, and it was a flying slave of the Internal Security Division."

Han Changdui didn't doubt Gu Chen, and said in a deep voice, "That flying slave was put by you yourself?"

Gu Chen said: "Yes, I put it with my own hands, and I saw with my own eyes that the flying slave was flying in the direction of the capital."

Han Changdui narrowed his eyes: "What was Yao doing in the army when you came to the ear room, and after you released the flying slaves, what was wrong with Yao joining the army?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen was taken aback: "Does the adult suspect that Yao is joining the army? It can't be, it's absolutely impossible." He shook his head: "Yao is indeed not so serious in the army, but she is a sincere errand, she doesn't expect to have a *** Houlu, but she often talks to her humble duties, and in the future, she will buy a small house, buy a beautiful little maid to serve her tea and pour water, and then buy a beautiful chef to cook for her, and finally buy a pretty gentleman to be her porter, she is bent on living a stable life, with her ability, it is not difficult to live such a life, she can't and doesn't need to take risks."

Listening to these words, Han Changdui had a strange feeling in his heart, and he only felt angry and funny.

Pretty little girl, beautiful chef, and pretty man, what does she want to do!

He said angrily: "How can a person who buys only look at his face and not look at his ability and character, it's ridiculous, how can he act so hastily!"

Gu Chen was stunned, feeling that something was wrong with Han Changdu's anger.

When he was suspicious of Yao Qi, Han Changdui was calm and not like a living person, but when he talked about Yao Qicai's plan to buy people, he was like thunder.

Gu Chen's mind flashed, and an incredible thought suddenly crossed his mind, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Han Changdui inquiringly.

Han Changdui also realized that he had lost his words, and a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face very quickly, and he went back to make up for it: "How can you afford to take on a heavy responsibility in the future!"

Gu Chen responded with a harmonious voice: "What the envoy said is extremely true." But the look on his face that seemed to be smiling was unobstructed, and he clearly didn't believe half a word.

Han Changdui also knew that Gu Chen didn't believe it, but he didn't explain much, he just stared at Gu Chen and admonished, "The matter of Fang Cai is not allowed to be spread outside!"

Gu Chen's expression was solemn, and he said yes in a convincing manner, but he just patted his chest and promised.

But what he pondered in his heart is unknown.

Han Changwan glanced back thoughtfully and asked, "Does Yao live in the backyard?"

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

Han Changdui narrowed his eyes: "Go and ask her to come over to see the official."

Gu Chen chuckled in his heart, knowing that Han Changdui still hadn't dispelled his suspicions about Yao Qi, thinking that he still had to remind her for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he was stopped by Han Changdu.

"Well, you shouldn't mention it to her." Han Changdu's expression was cold and solemn, and his tone was calm.

Gu Chen shuddered, and Ne answered, the thought that he had originally intended to remind Yao Qi disappeared in an instant.

That's it, the pure person is self-purifying, not to mention Yao Qi's clever mouth, Lord Yan can let her come back to life, and it is easy to prove her innocence. Thinking like this, he was relieved and walked quickly to the backyard.

Most of the internal guards in the internal security department were men, and the only few girls did not come this time.

Yao Qi is a person from the Jingzhao Mansion Administration, and he is not a serious internal guard, but he still mixes an extremely secluded and remote room among the big and rough internal guards.

Although this room is far from the school grounds, it is better to be secluded, and it is convenient to do things that are not humane.

Yao Ji didn't sleep deeply, and when she heard the clear footsteps outside, she woke up in an instant, but she didn't get up, just lay down with her eyes open, listening to the familiar voice and gradually walked to the door.

She turned her head slightly to look at the closed door, her misty apricot eyes as clear and cold as a cold star.

The glimmer of vigilance in those eyes was uncertain, like a dangerous beast ready to hunt at any moment.

The room without lights was dimly lit, and bright sunlight leaked into the room through the cracks in the door, and the fine lines on the few green bricks inside the door were faintly visible.

At the same time as the footsteps stopped, there were two soft sounds of "tuk tuk" outside the door, and Gu Chen's voice sounded outside the door: "Ah Qi, Ah Qi, are you awake?"

Yao Qi closed his eyes, a trace of irritability arose in his heart, and he calmed down for a moment before he hoarsely voiced and made a look of having just woken up and being a little impatient: "Wake up, what are you doing, disturbing dreams early in the morning."

Gu Chen's voice sank: "Hurry up and clean up, the envoy is here, I want to see you."

Yao Qi's heart jumped, so dignified, what did Han Changdui want to see her do.

Han Changdui is a smart person who pulls weeds and looks at the wind, since he hit him to Yuhua Mountain, she can hide and dodge, and she can avoid it, lest he be caught in the hole and see that something is wrong.

She thought that she had acted carefully in the past two days, and there was no omission, so Han Changdui should not be suspicious of her when she looked for her.

For the sake of safety, since hitting Yuhua Mountain, Yao Qi has only dismantled her hair bun and slept with her clothes, hearing Gu Chen's words, she quickly got up, simply washed and combed her hair, and asked through the door, "Is something wrong, why does the envoy want to see me at this time?"

"......" Gu Chen was dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and pressed that thought down with difficulty, thinking about it: "The envoy is going to find the golden commander of the forbidden army to discuss the deployment of the hunting ground, and it is estimated that he wants to go with you."

The movements of Yao Qi's hands slowed down, a hint of discoloration flashed on his face, and he squinted his eyes slightly, and in his heart, the movements in his hands became neat again.

In a matter of moments, she combed her hair in a bun and pushed the door open.

Gu Chen didn't expect Yao Qi's movements to be so fast, he looked at her deeply, and smiled slyly, "Have you washed your face?"

Yao Qi glanced at Gu Chen, and said lightly, "Isn't the envoy in a hurry, if I go slowly, he will beat me on the board, and you will bear it for me?"

"......" Gu Chen pouted, "Am I stupid?"

"Then you're not leaving?" Yao Ji straightened his back and walked forward very quickly.

Gu Chen followed behind her with a heavy heart, looked at Yao Qi's back in the morning light, frowned slightly, and felt a little strange in his heart

feelings.

The feeling was fleeting, and it was hard for him to grasp it.

He frowned slightly, "Ah Qi, isn't your injury healed yet?"

Yao Qi's back stiffened slightly, he slowly turned his head, his eyes were a little cold, and he hesitated for a moment: "Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Nothing?" Gu Chen shook his head quickly, the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger, but he couldn't say anything wrong, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's not worried about you."

Yao Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled slowly: "Yes, Gu Shenxian, you will worry about people."

Hearing this, the doubts in Gu Chen's heart finally dissipated, and he smiled with a winkled smile: "That is, we are also an official now, and the art of the emperor always has to be learned."

Yao Qi sighed and walked forward with disdain on his face.

He turned around, and the breath he was holding slowly came out.

Han Changdui sat in the main room, sipped tea slowly, and heard a little unfamiliar feeling in the footsteps that were approaching, he slowly raised his head, and looked at the person who walked in with a deep and scrutinizing gaze.

That face was still familiar, but there was something indescribably strange.

The steps that came over were also familiar, but there was an indescribable strangeness.

His eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of the mysterious man he met on the night he slept in the wilderness.

Han Changdui looked at Yao Qi and saluted, and nodded indifferently: "Yao has worked hard to join the army."

Seeing Han Changdui so polite, Yao Qi was very surprised, and pulled out an embarrassed smile on his lips: "It's not hard to be lowly and hard, I don't know if the envoy called the lowly to come over, but what's the matter?"

Han Changdui propped his forehead and made a look of distress: "The Jin commander of the Beiya Forbidden Army got up this morning to ask He Zongqi to borrow someone, saying that it was a shortage of manpower for the hunting ground, this official has just arrived, and he has never had any dealings with the forbidden army, and he has no friendship with Jin Commander at all, this official remembers that Yao joined the army and was born in the forbidden army, I don't know if he is familiar with this Jin commander?"

After that, he glanced up at He Zhenfu.

He Zhenfu comprehended, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, Commander Jin has been shouting for several days, saying that there is a shortage of manpower, and the hunting ground is not careless, and there can be no negligence and mistakes. He turned his head to look at Yao Qi and said, "If Yao Senjun knows a little bit about this Commander Jin, you might as well talk about it, and the Lord will discuss this matter with Commander Jin in a while, so that you can have a reference."

"......" Yao Qi was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little difficult.

Are these people telling the truth? Why didn't she believe it?

Gu Chen looked at Han Changdu, then at He Zhenfu, and twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.

These two sing and harmonize, but they have a great talent for pulling the light out.

Yao Qi's chances of winning against them are really unknown.

Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but worry.

Seeing Yao Qi's hesitation, Han Changdu's eyes flashed, and he asked in a cold voice, "What, Yao doesn't know if he joins the army, or is it inconvenient to say?"

Yao Qi heard the implication of Han Changdu's words, and opened his mouth stubbornly: "Commander Jin is rigid, cautious, never partial, and has clear rewards and punishments."

Han Changdui frowned when he heard this, Jin Zhong's temperament is well known to everyone, if it weren't for this, Jin Zhong would not have sat firmly in the position of the commander of the Beiya Forbidden Army at a young age and became the confidant of Emperor Yong'an.

But what Han Changdui wanted to hear was not this, what he wanted to hear was something else.
