Shangguan Xiu and Nie Zhen took off their official clothes in the carriage and changed into civilian clothes, because the silver hair on the temples was too eye-catching, Shangguan Xiu turned the silver hair black with random changes.

Then waiting for the carriage to go to the bustling street, Shangguan Xiu signaled the coachman to stop, and he and Nie Zhen drove quickly, taking Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei, mixed into the flow of people on both sides of the street, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Nie Zhen walked with Shangguan Xiu for a while, and then suddenly noticed that the hair on his temples had turned black, and he asked inexplicably, "Ah Xiu, are you ...... How did the color of your hair change?"

"It's black paint on it, but it only lasts for an hour or two. Shangguan Xiu was reluctant to say that he would change randomly, so he casually made up a reason.

"Oh. Nie Zhen didn't doubt it, nodded, and didn't ask more.

Tianque Terrace, one of the largest teahouses in Shangjing. Nie Zhen, as a disciple of the gate lord of the Shi clan, can be regarded as a famous son-in-law in the capital, he is a frequent visitor to places like taverns and teahouses, and the juniors in Tianque Terrace know him.

Seeing Nie Zhen coming in from outside, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward, nodded and said hello: "Nie Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, hurry up, please inside." ”

On weekdays, it was the purple-clothed Lingjiang leopard who came to the teahouse with Nie Zhen, but today he suddenly changed people, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but take a second look.

As soon as he turned his eyes to look at Shangguan Xiu, he felt two pairs of sharp eyes shooting towards him.

He turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei staring at him coldly, with a terrifying glow flashing in their eyes. The shopkeeper was well-informed, and when he saw that these two were not easy to mess with, he hurriedly bowed his body and retreated to the side.

Nie Zhen led the way in front, went directly to the second floor, stopped in front of a private room, nodded to Shangguan Xiu first, and then opened the sliding door and walked in.

There were two people sitting in the private room, a man and a woman, both of whom were not very old, in their twenties, and they both knew Shangguanxiu.

Seeing clearly who the two of them were, Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but smile, walked into the private room, and said, "Brother Qi, Miss Duan!"

These two young men, one woman and one woman, are Qi Fei and Duan Zhiqing.

Both of them were born in the Imperial Lingwu Academy, and they also have some connections with Shangguan Xiu, and in the Capture the Flag Tournament three years ago, Qi Fei and Duan Zhiqing both fought against Shangguan Xiu. Unexpectedly, this time it was Nie Zhen's recommendation to meet him again.

In fact, during a national war, Shangguan Xiu and Qi Fei met, and it was Qi Fei or Tang Wanyun's partial general. It's just that the war was tense at that time, and Shangguan Xiu and Qi Fei didn't have much chance to get in touch.

Seeing Shangguan Xiu and Nie Zhen, Qi Fei and Duan Zhiqing both stood up, bowed solemnly, and said, "Zhenguo Gong, Nie Shao!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled: "I didn't expect that the people Ah Zhen introduced to me would be the two of you." ”

"Ah Xiu, do you know each other?"

"Miss Duan and I had a relationship at the Capture the Flag Tournament three years ago, when we had a big fight with Brother Qi, and later in a national war, we also fought side by side with Brother Qi. Shangguan Xiu was not obscure about the intersection between them, and said calmly.

This is no longer the case. If Shangguan Xiu said this before, he was suspected of taking the initiative to pull a relationship, but now, he has become a dignified duke, and only others have a relationship with him, where does he still need to climb other people's relationship?

"It's really a shame to say! In a national war, I was ordered to retreat, but after the Zhenguo Gong was judged, the Zhenguo Gong was put in danger, and I haven't had a chance to apologize to the Zhenguo Gong!"

To say that back then, Qi Fei and Duan Zhiqing were both influential figures in the Imperial Lingwu Academy, and they were admired by many students, but that was only in the Lingwu Academy, and when they came out of the Lingwu Academy, they naturally understood that there were people outside the world, there were heavens outside the sky, and there were many people with higher skills than them. And in officialdom, many times it is not on one's own ability, but on the ability of the entire family, on the backer behind his connections, and so on.

When Shangguan Xiu heard this, he returned the salute to Qi Fei and said, "Brother Qi said this, it is too polite, obeying military orders is the duty of our soldiers, what is wrong?"

I didn't expect Shangguan Xiu to be so polite to himself now as a duke, and still be commensurate with Brother Qi as before, which made Qi Fei, who had long been accustomed to seeing the officialdom's 'flattery to the upper authorities and the prestige and blessing' bureaucratic face, it could not but be said to be a big shock.

Duan Zhiqing also looked at Shangguan Xiu in surprise beside her. She and Shangguan Xiu have indeed not seen each other for three years, and after three years, I feel that Shangguan Xiu has changed a lot, his appearance has matured, and his figure has grown a lot taller, and the biggest change is that his temperament is completely different from before.

In the past, he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he had a momentum that was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was a hairy boy at first glance, but now he is mature and steady, gentle and elegant, and he is bold and free.

In just three years, how could she not be surprised that a person would have such a big change. In him, perhaps the only thing that hasn't changed is the pair of eyes, which are still as bright as before, and as clear as before, between the rotation of the inky black and shiny eyes, there seems to be a glow flowing in the eyes, and it is as attractive as three years ago.

"Zhiqing!" When Qi Fei touched her arm with his elbow, Duan Zhiqing came back from her daze, and saw Shangguan Xiu, Nie Zhen, and Qi Fei all staring at her with big eyes, she realized that she had lost her temper, and she was fascinated by Shangguan Xiu. Her jade face was slightly red, and she said to Shangguan Xiufu with a woman's etiquette: "Zhenguo Gong." ”

Shangguan Xiu was very understanding, waved his hand and said, "Let's all sit down and talk." His greeting also happened to bring Duan Zhiqing's embarrassment. She glanced at Shangguan Xiu gratefully, and sat down with everyone one after another.

"Ah Jue, let Xiao Er serve two pots of the best tea. Nie Zhen turned his head and said to the door. Xiao Jue and Wu Yufei are both people around Shangguan Xiu, and Nie Zhen and him are also familiar with each other.

After a short time, the shopkeeper walked in with two pots of tea and two new teacups.

The four of them drank tea and talked at the same time, and through chatting, Shangguan Xiu also learned about Qi Fei and Duan Zhiqing's recent situation. Qi Fei is currently serving as a corps general in the 12th Army Corps of the Central Army, and his military rank is not high, low or low, and not high.

Duan Zhiqing happened to serve in the Ninth Legion, and like Qi Fei, she was also a partial general of the Legion, although it is not uncommon for female soldiers and female generals in the army to be in the army, but there are really not many women who can achieve the level of partial general.

Nie Zhen took the lead in bringing the conversation to the point, and smiled at Shangguan Xiu: "Actually, Ah Fei and Zhiqing both have the intention of joining the Shura Hall, but they have been worried, so they have not taken action for a long time. ”

Shangguan Xiu looked at the two of them puzzled, and asked with a smile, "What are the concerns of Brother Qi and Miss Duan?"

Qi Fei and Duan Zhiqing glanced at each other and said, "In the Capture the Flag Competition, I once injured Zhen Guogong, and in a national war, I threw Zhen Guogong again, so I ......"

"So, Brother Qi thinks that after joining the Shura Hall, he will be retaliated against by me?"

Qi Fei smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I think I can't step on the threshold of the Luo Hall at all. ”

Shangguan Xiu laughed and said: "Brother Qi is too worried, I have already said just now, the military order is difficult to disobey, this matter, Brother Qi does not have to worry about it, I am not such a stingy person, as for the capture of the flag, it is a fair duel, there is no right or wrong, everyone did their best at that time, it is not only to respect the opponent, but also to show their own strength, what is wrong?"

He said this, not pretending to be generous, hypocritical, in fact, as early as the capture of the flag race, he admired Qi Fei, and later he was in Zhenjun, several times flying pigeons to pass the book to the court, the border pass was urgent, but no minister in the court was willing to hand over his handbook to the emperor, and later he sent someone to pass the book to Qi Fei, Tang Ling received the news of the border emergency, through this incident, Qi Fei's open-minded personality left a deep impression on him. Qi Fei is a person, he appreciates and likes it from the bottom of his heart.

Qi Fei arched his hand and said convincingly: "Zhenguo Gong is open-minded, and the last general is happy and convinced, here, the last general has the courage to express his attitude to Zhenguo Gong and is willing to join Shura Hall." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and asked, "Does Brother Qi know the rules and regulations of Shura Hall?"

Qi Fei Zhengse said: "I have long kept it in mind. ”

"Even if the goal of the Shura Hall is to weaken the privileges of the nobility, Brother Qi is willing to stay in the Shura Hall?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a smile. Qi Fei is a serious scholar from the Eight Hundred Clan, just like Nie Zhen Ziyiling and others, but the strength of the family is relatively small.

"The last general wants to take a frank road, not relying on the family, only relying on his own strength to speak. Qi Fei spoke without hesitation.

Sure enough, it was the Qi Fei he knew, who was frank and open. With his upright personality, he is not suitable for staying in the officialdom or in the army, but Shangguan Xiu's favorite is a person with this personality, and Shura Hall also needs such a person the most.

Shangguan Xiu turned his eyes to look at Duan Zhiqing and asked, "Miss Duan is also willing to join the Shura Hall?"

"Yes, sir. Duan Zhiqing was more sensitive than Qi Qi, and changed her address to Shangguan Xiu without leaving a trace, she smiled dignified and delicate, and said: "In the future, adults don't call me Miss Duan anymore, but call me Zhiqing." ”

Shangguan Xiu nodded, took a sip of tea, and said, "This morning, I have asked Your Majesty for a thorough investigation of the Ninth Army, I wonder what Miss Zhiqing thinks about this?"

Duan Zhiqing's face changed, and she asked inexplicably, "Your Excellency wants to thoroughly investigate the Ninth Army?"

Nie Zhen told Xu Qing about colluding with the assassins. This result, the Duwei Mansion only announced in the court this morning, and for Qi Fei Duan Zhiqing, he did not know in advance.

After listening to Nie Zhen's story, the two of them were both shocked, gasped, and said in unison: "It turns out that the assassination of the adult is related to Xu Qing!"

Duan Zhiqing muttered: "No wonder it is rumored that Xu Qing died suddenly at home, it turns out that he committed suicide in fear of sin. ”

Nie Zhen said: "Xu Qing is probably just a pawn, not the real mastermind behind the scenes, and the real black hand should still be hidden in the Ninth Army, Zhiqing is a member of the Ninth Army, do you have any suspicions?"
