Outside the window, the rain was murmuring, faintly accompanied by thunder.

In the middle of summer, it swept away the sweltering heat.

The inn where Shen Guo stayed was far away from the downtown area, so he deliberately chose a room facing the street, so that he could occasionally pay attention to the movement outside.

In the rain, the streets are sparsely populated, and the occasional pedestrians are holding umbrellas or wearing clothes.

In the sound of rain, a rush of footsteps came from a distance, and Shen Jing looked through the window to see that a neat team of Heavenly Guards was dragging two corpses through the long street.

After the continuous washing of the rain, the corpse was pale, and there was no trace of blood left.

Pedestrians on the street occasionally saw this scene, either avoiding it, or looking at it from afar and then withdrawing their gaze. They knew that the grassland people who had secretly infiltrated Kangzhu City had been caught again, and this was the fifth batch since yesterday.

Shen Jing didn't look at it much, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but think of the girl dressed as a man in the bar a few days ago. Listening to the recent rumors, the person who led the team on the grassland this time seems to be an Abahai, and the Central Plains means princess, I don't know if the girl's identity has been exposed.

In addition to chasing down the grassland people, another recent major event in Kang Zhucheng is the death of the thirteenth prince Yuanwu, and the rest of the injured princes did not hear the news of their deaths, but the thirteenth prince Yuanwu did die.

For this reason, a number of officials, including Zhao Menglan, the Taishou of Kang Zhucheng, have been frightened in recent days and have difficulty sleeping and eating.

In addition, the Wu family in Kangzhucheng is also campaigning for this matter.

The death of a prince, and his death in Kangzhu City, no matter what the reason, is not a trivial matter.

Although the death of the thirteen princes is not to be blamed on them, if the above is strictly investigated, the guilt of improper protection will definitely not be able to escape, and this crime can be big or small, it can only depend on the meaning of the above.

It's a pity that Kang Zhucheng has now been taken over by the Prison Heaven Division, and even Zhao Menglan, the Taishou Guard, does not have the right to interfere too much. So they had nothing to do but lament, hoping that this unwarranted disaster would not cost them their lives.

As always, the evening meal was served by Xiao Er in the store, but this time Xiao Er also brought a letter.

After knocking on Shen Jing's door, the shopkeeper took out a sealed letterhead from the bottom of the dinner plate and handed it to Shen Jing, "Guest officer, this is the letter that another guest officer asked me to pass on to you, saying that you will naturally know what he means after reading it." ”

Shen Kuanghu took the letter suspiciously and looked back and forth, there was nothing special.

"Did the man say anything else?" Shen Guo asked.

Xiao Er shook his head when he heard this: "The guest officer only said that I should bring this letter to you, and the rest is gone." ”

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he saw that Shen was still suspenseful, so he said more: "The guest officer won't hide it from you, our Kang Zhucheng has indeed not been peaceful recently, and it is always right for you to be careful." However, I didn't look at the young man who delivered the letter like some kind of bad person. ”

After the last sentence was finished, the shopkeeper also knew that he had committed a taboo, so he hurriedly patted his mouth and apologized: "Look at my talkative mouth, just listen to those nonsense guest officers." ”

The innkeeper is just the most ordinary local, and he has just done a small business. Xiao Er also had good intentions, and Shen could see it, so he didn't blame anything.

After that, Shen Kuang took the meal and thanked him again before closing the door again.

Shen was suspicious of who would send him a letter, because there were not many people who would care about him at this time.

Sure enough, after Shen Kuang opened the envelope, he recognized that it was Jiang Ning's words.

Jiang Ningxin roughly said that his father Jiang Taixuan wanted to meet Shen Jing, and Jiang Ning asked Shen Guo to take some time to go to Zhilan Garden, that is, the courtyard where the group stayed in Kangzhu City.

At the end of the letter, Jiang Ning said: "Father also asked me to tell you, don't be too surprised after meeting." ”

Shen Jing frowned and looked at the last sentence without a beginning or an end, unexpected? for

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

What's to be unexpected?

However, it is not surprising that Shen does not know, but the nervousness is certain.

Originally, a Jiang Ning already had the majesty to deter the Quartet, so as the head of the Jiang family and the owner of the Louwailou, Jiang Taixu would definitely be even more difficult to get along with. And there is also Jiang Ning among them, no matter what aspect you look at, Shen is not reasonable.

When Shen Guo was eating dinner, he couldn't help but sigh bitterly in his heart, it was really not easy to deal with the elders.

It had been drizzling for almost a day today, and it didn't stop until the evening, when the clouds cleared and the night rose, and the moon hung high.

Kangzhu City, which has been rained and moonlit, has a new look and has returned to its former lights.

At that time in the evening, the prison Tiansi had already released his words, and there was only the last team of four people left among the grassland people who were on the run, and they could not worry about the threat of the grassland people in the future, and if they provided clues to the grassland people, they would be rewarded.

In fact, most people only care about the whereabouts of the grassland people, and they are happy to see the few princes and eunuchs choose to keep their mouths shut.

The red candles on the long-sleeved street are fluttering, and the light shines into the distance.

Lingshan City, the mansion of the Lin family.

Tomorrow, there is another batch of important goods that need to be taken by water to Qu'er City, so at this time in the evening, Lin Wanzhao is counting the goods for the last time, accompanied by Lian Xue and the housekeeper Lin Songfeng.

Lin Songfeng looked at the thin figure who was busy in front and behind and said softly: "Miss, just let me do these little things." ”

When Lin Wan heard this, the figure retreated, she looked at Lin Songfeng and said slowly: "It's okay Lin Bo, I can't sleep when it's still early." ”

How could Lin Songfeng not know that his eldest lady was worried about the safety of tomorrow's boat, so he smiled and said: "Eldest lady doesn't have to worry about transporting goods, since that time, the wolf gang and other bandits along the way have not dared to embarrass us anymore, thanks to Jiang Shaoxia." ”

Listening to Lin Bo talk about Shen Qian, Lin Wanzhao remembered the things that Uncle Chongshan told her in recent days.

His husband is now far away in Kangzhu City, and he has also made a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes.

Lin Chongshan naturally didn't tell Lin Wanzhao the facts, and if there was no good thing, he could only rely on making it up. Those frightened sights and hearings made him worry even when he heard them, let alone his own eldest lady. ”

Lin Songfeng saw that Lin Wanzhao's thoughts were drifting away, and he knew that she was thinking about Jiang Su.

The longing of the little girl's family, he was also happy.

Lin Wanzhao quickly recovered her thoughts, and when she saw that Lin Bo and Lian Xue were looking at him, she was a little embarrassed to turn around and continue to stare at the inventory.

Lian Xue walked in with a smile, grabbed Lin Wanzhao's arm and joked with a smile: "Miss, are you thinking about Jiang Shaoxia again?" ”

Lin Wanzhao saw that her mind was exposed, and she didn't refute it, but just gave Lian Xue a roll of her eyes, and pointed her finger on her forehead: "You, you." ”

Some thoughts are long-lasting, and some feelings are endless.

The moonlight in Lingshan City is very beautiful tonight, but it is just a little lighter.

The next day, Shen got up very early.

I haven't been out for a long time, but today is still a little fresh.

The little second who had been delivering food to Shen Kuang saw Shen Kuang go downstairs, although Shen Kuang was dressed in a green shirt and hat with a long sword on his back today, he still recognized it at a glance, so he greeted Shen Kuang with a smile: "Guest officer, morning!" ”

Shen Guan glanced at the shopkeeper when he heard this, and nodded with a smile: "Morning." ”

Because I was going to go out, I didn't plan to stop in front of the hall.

Seeing that Shen was in a hurry to go out, Xiao Er thought that he was going to join in the excitement at today's gathering in the city, so he reminded loudly: "Guest officer, there is a better chance of meeting the baby on the long-sleeved street." ”

After Xiao Er finished speaking, Shen Jing's figure also disappeared at the door.

The shopkeeper glared at Xiao Er unhappily: "What are you kid doing, there have been rumors recently."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Don't you know? If you annoy these masters and smash my shop, you kid will follow the northwest wind. ”

Xiao Er smelled the reprimand, but he didn't reply with a smile, he just felt that this guest was easy-going.

Shen Jing actually heard Xiao Er's last words, but he didn't understand what it meant at first, until he passed by Longsleeve Street.

Originally, the long-sleeved street was a place to drink flower wine, but today there are especially many stalls along the street.

Listening to the conversations around him, it seems that Kang Zhucheng will hold such a gathering once a month, and this time there happen to be a large number of people in the rivers and lakes, so there is no shortage of people who have picked up and bought some clever cheats and blades.

According to Shen's situation, this gathering is somewhat similar to the Dama Street in Autumn Fall City, where merchants and travelers from the north and south sell goods to each other.

Due to the rally, there are many pedestrians on the long-sleeved street.

Shen Jing didn't stay here for long, looked along the street and went straight to the Zhilan Ting where the building outside the building was located.

The closer he got, the more nervous Shen Gu became, and he couldn't hold back it.

The area where Zhilan Court is located is a private garden, so there are not many pedestrians along the way.

After getting closer and closer to Zhilan Ting, Shen Kuang regained his appearance, wearing a green shirt, a hat, and a long sword.

Jiang Ning didn't expect Shen Jing to come so quickly, so she was slightly surprised when she saw Shen Jing outside the Zhilan Court, but soon the surprise turned into joy, which didn't mean that Shen Jing attached importance to this matter.

Jiang Ning also came with warm wine, and he was especially proud of Li Chengren's willingness to teach him a few swords. So when he saw Shen Jing from afar, he shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Shen, here, here!" ”

Shen Kuang couldn't help but smile when he heard the word senior brother, and when he got closer, he said, "Wen Jiu, I remember that the master didn't promise to accept you as a disciple." ”

Wen Jiu waved his hand indifferently and said, "Senior brother cares about what those false courtesies do, since Senior Li is willing to pass on a few swordsmanship to me, isn't it my master." ”

Shen Kuang smiled when he heard this, the temper of his "fellow junior disciple" was really similar to that of their master and apprentice.

After arguing with Wen Jiu, Shen Jing looked at Jiang Ning and asked with a little weakness, "Your father won't be waiting for me already, right?" ”

Jiang Ning looked at Shen Jing's appearance and smiled: "You are scared? ”

Shen Guan twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded: "It's really a little!" ”

Jiang Ning smiled: "Father won't do anything to you, what are you afraid of?" Moreover, Senior Li and Senior Zhu had a very peaceful conversation with their father before. ”

"Did they talk to us?" Shen Guo asked.

"Nope."

Shen Jing said in frustration: "Then I can't run away this time." ”

Wen Jiu on the side smiled when he heard this: "Senior Brother Shen, don't be afraid, Uncle Jiang is very good at talking, and you are so good, how can there be any reason not to accept you." ”

The three of them walked and chatted.

When Wen Jiu said this, the three of them had already walked around in the Zhilan Court for a while, and as soon as Wen Jiu's words fell, the three of them suddenly heard a dull voice in front of them: "Xiao Jiu'er, tell me why I have to accept it?" ”

Wen Jiu paused when he heard this, and glanced up in a daze, ah, it's really Uncle Jiang.

Wen Jiu shouted with some weakness: "Uncle Jiang." ”

"Father." Jiang Ning also spoke. In contrast, she has the most comfortable look.

Shen Jing also raised his head at this time, and when he saw the appearance of the middle-aged man in front of him, he couldn't help frowning, because they had actually seen it. Just after leaving Liushui Village, he was playing chess with another white-haired but ageless middle-aged man in the stone pavilion on the side of the road, and he also pit Shen Qian's wine for this.

"You're... The one who wants to drink? Shen Guo blurted out.
