As the sun sets, geese come from south to north, cross the central capital, and reappear in the grassland sky.

Xiao Jin stood on the city wall of Zhongdu, and raised his head to see such a scene, although Xiao Jin was only five years old, he was known to have early wisdom, and because of his cultivation, he looked like he was ten years old. Xiao Jin came to Zhongdu, Xu Lin did not show up, the inspector is equivalent to the capital, and he is separated by two levels from the governor of the capital, Xu Lin's move is also normal.

Qu Cang, as the lieutenant of the secret guard of the Central Capital, naturally took on the responsibility of accompanying the Shangguan when he was seriously injured in the capital Hua Tianfeng and had not recovered, even if the Shangguan was still a child.

Qu Cang has been up and down in the dark guard for decades, speaking of which he and the old blind man on the grassland are still a generation, and he has seen too much of the battle in the dark guard, so he naturally understands what to do and what not to do. Standing behind Xiao Jin at this moment, he didn't show any disrespect because he was still a child, and he didn't ask much about the seven mysterious black-robed people who followed Xiao Jin's side.

A specially customized trumpet inspector official uniform was worn on Xiao Jin's body, and was blown by the whistling spring breeze on the city's head, hunting sounded, and looked up at the queen of heaven for a while, Xiao Jin lowered his head and asked Qu Cang behind him: "What about the captain called Song Zuo?"

Yesterday, Song Zuo, the captain of the grassland Yiwei, returned to Zhongdu overnight and asked to see the inspector Xiao Jin, but Xiao Jin did not see him at that time, but made him wait all night and let him stay in the secret guard yamen, and it was only now that Xiao Jin decided to see him.

Qu Cang immediately replied when he heard this: "Song Zuo's identity has been confirmed, there is no doubt that he is the captain of the grassland secret guard, according to him, someone has seen the adult, but this matter is a secret, except for the adult, no one else is easy to handle, and now the subordinates are letting Song Zuo wait below, waiting for the adult to summon him." Do you want him to come up?"

Xiao Jin sighed, "Let him come up." ”

Qu Cang answered yes and stepped back.

No one thought that this young man, who looked to be more than ten years old, was really the second son of the Dadu Governor, could it be that he was the illegitimate son of the Dadu Governor? However, Qu Cang only dared to think about these words in his mind, and he didn't dare to say it if he was killed.

As for what Song Zuo said, Qu Cang can also guess eight or nine points, there are people on the grassland who want to see the second son of the Grand Governor, who else will there be besides the eldest son of the Grand Governor? As for what is dirty between their brothers, this is not what he Qu Cang cares about, or the old saying, do your duty, don't think about what you shouldn't think, if not, it is really a very common thing to die in the secret guard.

After a while, Song Zuo, who was still dressed as a scholar, followed Qu Cang and came behind Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin turned his head and looked at Song Zuo slightly, Song Zuo bowed his head respectfully, he is a person from Jiangdu, he came to Zhongdu with his father since he was a child, and after his father passed away, he inherited his father's position in the secret guard and was sent to the grassland. How many times did he return to the ten miles of Qin Huai where he lived when he was a child, the bright moon was still brightly lit, just like the Jiangdu in the city that never sleeps, how many times did he fantasize about being in the position of the capital and being transferred away from the bitter cold land of the grassland? The young man in front of him really can't afford to be jealous, what is the commander of everything in his eyes? I'm afraid that the governor will be his after all.

Xiao Jin looked at the respectful Song Zuo in front of him, and asked lightly, "Xiao Yu let you come?"

Song Zuo has also seen one or two of Xiao Yu's methods, although he can't say that he was frightened, but it is also a standard secret guard style, the second son can call his name and surname, but he doesn't dare, but at this time, he can't disobey the second son, so Song Zuo replied with a word like gold: "Yes." ”

Saying that, Song Zuo hurriedly took out the letter handed to him by Xiao Yu from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Xiao Jin took the letter, opened it casually, and looked at the contents of the letter with an expressionless face. The content of the letter was not much, only a few sentences, and after a while, Xiao Jin had already finished reading it, retracted his gaze from the letter, and asked, "What else did he say?"

Song Zuo wasn't sure what to call these two, so he simply used their official names and said respectfully: "Lord Hui, I want to invite you to Zhumadian for a while." ”

Xiao Jin whispered to herself, "Zhumadian?"

Qu Cang hurriedly said: "My lord, this Zhumadian is not the Zhumadian in our Dazheng, but a horse market on the grassland, the owner behind it is Huang Hanji, and now Huang Liangmi, who is in charge of Zhumadian, is Huang Hanji's nephew, Zhumadian is about a hundred miles away from our Zhongdu, except for the frequent horse thieves in the middle, it is not too strange." ”

Xiao Jin stood at the head of the city and looked at the grassland in the distance, at this time the grassland was extremely quiet in the sunset, the bloody sunset dyed the entire grassland with a layer of blood red, Xiao Jin knew that if there was a war, this blood red would turn into real blood.

His eldest brother, half-brother, Xiao Yu is under the blood red at the moment, inviting him to the grassland, no one in the city speaks, Xiao Jin gently played with the jade pendant on his waist, Xiao Yu's hatred of Xiao Lie is already tacit, but Xiao Lie's attitude towards Xiao Yu, Xiao Jin is still a little unsure.

"Could it be that my father asked me to come to Zhongdu this time just to be a pioneer for Xiao Yu?" Xiao Jin laughed at himself in his heart.

The head of the Xiao family, must be the Xiao family in consideration?

Xiao Jin is very smart, knowing that Xiao Lie's deliberate indifference to Xiao Yu can even be said to be a kind of protection, whether he deceives others or not, at least he has made enough gestures, and Xiao Yu may not be unaware of this, but Xiao Yu held his breath and deliberately pretended not to know.

Xiao Lie put Xiao Yu on the grassland, if Xiao Yu couldn't survive, Xiao Lie didn't have this son, but Xiao Yu survived, and lived a wonderful life, then Xiao Lie would properly support his son who had high hopes, for example, now.

Xiao Jin looked at the jade pendant in his hand and said to himself: "You must go, but if you want me to help you sincerely, you have to show some skills yourself, otherwise even if you have your father's order, don't blame me for being ruthless and standing by." ”

After Xiao Jin finished speaking, only the sound of fierce wind remained in the city.

Xiao Jin pursed his lips and said with a light smile: "Qu Duwei, you go and make arrangements, I will go to Zhumadian tomorrow." ”

Qu Cang bowed his head.

Xiao Jin walked down the city, his face expressionless, and the letter paper in his hand quietly turned into ashes and scattered in the wind. He didn't put his heart into the outside and the inside, he was already focusing on the overall situation. After all, they are only the same father, not the same mother.

In the high-ranking valve, all brothers have to fight in the same room, let alone half-brothers?

Xiao Jin suddenly clenched the jade pendant in his hand, a wise person must have a short life, you Xiao Yu has your mother, then he has no mother? Why do you want to have an extra Xiao Yu out of thin air?

His mother is the princess of Da Zheng, and his uncle is the emperor of Da Zheng, as long as Da Zheng is in one day, his mother will live very well, even if he dies early, there is no regret.

Xiao Jin smiled inexplicably, not knowing whether he was laughing at Xiao Yu or laughing at himself.
