The sky gradually brightened, Zhao Xiancheng came out of the toilet, only to see Hua Meiyan coming from the other end of the house, hurriedly rushed up, and said with a smile: "Where is Miss Hua going so early?" ”

"Can't sleep, come out and get some fresh air, what? Do you have something? Hua Meiyan said lightly.

"It's okay, just asking, I actually have something to say." Zhao Xiancheng smiled and stared at her.

"What's the matter? Go ahead! Hua Meiyan's cold expression seemed very unconcerned.

Zhao Xiancheng smiled faintly and said, "I want to talk about the matter of the man in black that day." ”

Hua Meiyan was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Zhao Xiancheng was stunned when he saw her, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, I just want to say that it wasn't me who peeped at you that day, and there was a man in black who took a picture with me that day, but I don't know who he is, I just want to clarify, I don't mean anything else." ”

Hua Meiyan's heart was relieved, and she thought that he had discovered herself, so she said with a smile: "It's that thing, I don't care about it at all, I believe it's not you, don't take it to heart." ”

"That's good, that's good, that, Miss Hua, can we be friends?" Zhao Xiancheng said shyly, and hurriedly lowered his head after speaking.

"Aren't we friends now?" Hua Meiyan smiled faintly, feeling that the person in front of her was very funny, but also a little embarrassed.

"I, I, I mean let's be the kind of good friends, don't be like this, don't talk when we meet, and look like strangers." Zhao Xiancheng said silently, never daring to look up at her.

Hua Meiyan heard what he meant, and smiled very casually: "Ah, that's the case, okay, then we will keep in touch and talk more in the future, is that so?" ”

Zhao Xiancheng was overjoyed and smiled happily: "Yes, that's it, I raised my head and my eyes showed deep love for her."

"Anything else? If not, I'm going back, and I'm going to help Miss Yang make breakfast for everyone. Hua Meiyan said softly.

"Okay, you go get busy, I won't bother you." Zhao Xiancheng was pleased and hurriedly said.

Hua Meiyan turned around and walked back, Zhao Xiancheng stared at her back tightly, with a smile on his face, suddenly his expression changed color, a fierce expression was displayed, he paused for a long time, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard again.

Early in the morning, everyone got up from their sleep, went out of the room one after another, and carried out their daily work, as soon as Shen Jiannan walked out of the door, Li Rugui rushed up and said, "Fourth brother, I'm worried about Miss Liu's safety, I'm going out to find her." ”

"Where are you looking?" Shen Jiannan asked.

"I don't know, maybe it's better to go out and find some clues than to stay here." Li Rugui is full of fantasy.

"Okay, I'll go with you, it's too dangerous to be alone, and now everyone has set their sights on Xiaoshan." Shen Jiannan said in a solemn tone, hesitatingly.

"Don't you have to accompany Miss Yang?" Li Rugui asked curiously.

"No, he's not injured, it's still important to find Miss Liu, after all, she came with me, and if I can't find her, I have a lot of responsibility." Shen Jiannan blamed himself deeply.

The two of them had decided to go, and they were walking on the way out of the village, but a female voice came from behind, and they only heard: "Fourth brother, eleventh brother, are you going out, take me one, I just want to go out to buy something." ”

The two turned around, only to see Ma Xiaoyun coming in a hurry, gasping and saying. It looks like it's coming all the way.

"What are you going to do, we have business, you can go by yourself." Li Rugui said lightly.

"What's the matter with you, I won't get in your way, it's so dangerous outside now, you let me go alone, what do you think, it's still not my brother's brother." Ma Xiaoyun airway.

"We are to save people, take you, how can we save it." Li Rugui was very helpless, and his words showed impatience.

"I'm going to go with you, don't try to get rid of me." Ma Xiaoyun played with the young lady's temper.

"Okay, I'll take you there, but don't run around, something happened, don't say we didn't take care of you." Shen Jiannan shook his head and sighed, he really couldn't help her, so he had to agree to her.

In this way, the three of them left the village and came to the town, Shen Jiannan and Li Rugui were in a heavy mood, and they had no time for the landscape around them, but Ma Xiaoyun was very happy, and stayed for a long time everywhere, looking at this, looking at that, they seemed to be full of curiosity about everything. This gave Shen Jiannan a headache, just because it had been four hours since he came out, and he had spent most of the day wandering around the town, and he hadn't done anything at all.

"I said, Miss, what are you going to buy? After buying, after buying, please go back, come out in the morning, we will accompany you shopping, don't you know that we are doing something? Li Rugui was merciless, regardless of whether she was a daughter's family.

"What's the matter, I haven't found out what I like, why don't you pity the fragrance at all, like you, there will be no girl like you at all." Ma Xiaoyun was not happy to hear it, and ridiculed him with his bad words.

"Cut, I think no one likes you, look at you, you're so lazy to do it, you know how to dress up all day long, you don't worry about things in the mountains at all, even the second brother said that you are a nobody." Li Rugui did not give in at all,-for-tat.

"Okay, don't talk about it, Xiaoyun, what do you want to buy, just buy it quickly, it's going to get dark soon, and we're going to send you back." Shen Jiannan tried to arrange the dispute between the two.

"Well, actually, I just wanted to buy something, but I haven't found it yet." Ma Xiaoyun sighed, looking very helpless.

Seeing her expression, Li Rugui had a special feeling in his heart, for some reason, looking at her at this moment, it was quite cute, and he immediately smiled inwardly, but the surface was still cold.

"Then let's go ahead and have a look." Shen Jiannan sighed deeply and said helplessly.

The three of them walked towards the front again, and suddenly Ma Xiaoyun let out an 'ah' from behind. Shen Jiannan was shocked and hurriedly turned around, only to see her standing in place, covering her stomach with both hands, Li Rugui was even more curious, and asked in surprise: "Miss Ma, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I suddenly feel like I'm hungry, let's have some food." Ma Xiaoyun had an innocent appearance, so that the two people in front of him really didn't know what to say, and they were all disgusted.

"You have so much to do, haven't you eaten in the morning?" Li Rugui's indignant expression was already very impatient.

Ma Xiaoyun smiled faintly and said, "I ate in the morning, but when is this, you are not hungry, people are still hungry, I am a girl, can I compare with you men, less nonsense, now I want to eat, will you come?" "Then he went to the tavern.

Li Rugui took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, no move, his second brother's own sister, couldn't say it, couldn't scold, so he had to follow silently, Shen Jiannan just smirked, he didn't have an opinion in his heart, but he felt that this girl was still very cute, so lively, her every move made her laugh.

Came to the tavern, the three of them found a quiet place to sit down, called Xiao Er, ordered food, and the three of them ate, Shen Jiannan and Li Rugui had no intention of eating, they were still thinking about Liu Yue's remnants, they couldn't eat at all, Liu Yueremnant couldn't find it, it was a knot in the hearts of both of them.

"Why don't you eat it, isn't it just a willow moon remnant, as for the hunger strike, Brother Shen already has Sister Yang, it must be you, you have affection for Miss Liu." Ma Xiaoyun pointed at Li Rugui and sneered.

"What's wrong with being affectionate, are you jealous?" Li Rugui deliberately angered her and glared.

This sentence made Ma Xiaoyun very disappointed, and immediately lowered his head, and began to speak, his face showed a flush, and he was speechless for a long time.

"Do you really like her?" Ma Xiaoyun's voice was very low, and he wanted to ask, but he was afraid that he would tell him the result.

"yes, what's wrong, such a beautiful person, I think there will be many people besides me who like it." Li Ru said casually, without thinking.

"Oh, so does she like you?" Ma Xiaoyun's voice was lower, so low that she was almost inaudible, and her expression was very heavy, she looked like a sheep at this time.

"Is this necessary to tell you?" Li Ru asked rhetorically, showing impatience.

"I'm just asking, don't tell." Ma Xiaoyun said lightly, stopped talking, and only cared about eating, one bite at a time, eating very hard, as if the food had an enmity with him.

Li Rugui glanced at it lightly, and also ate some indiscriminately.

It was getting dark, Shen Jiannan looked at the night, and said solemnly: "Xiaoyun, it's too late, let's send you back, right?" ”

"I'm not going back, I'm going with you." Ma Xiaoyun pouted.

"You're fooling around." Li Rugui scolded angrily.

"Why am I messing around, I'm going to follow, what can you do with me?" Ma Xiaoyun said deliberately angrily, with a wicked smile on his face.

While arguing, there were three people on the table not far from the next door, who were talking, but they attracted Shen Jiannan's attention, and hurriedly reached out and stabbed Li Rugui, signaling him to pay attention, and Li Rugui looked at the place indicated.

I saw that the whereabouts of the three people were secretive, looking around, as if they were thieves, and only one of them said: "I heard that the Dongchang arrested a person yesterday, and this person seems to be very important." ”

This sentence made Shen Jiannan's spirits lift, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly listened attentively, but then the three of them spoke in a lower voice, and they couldn't hear what he was saying at all. Only this last sentence said: "Let's go, we have made an appointment with him to see what tricks he is doing." The three men left in a hurry.

Shen Jiannan said, "Quick, keep up with them." "Rushed out.

Li Rugui didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly chased him out, Ma Xiaoyun saw that there must be a lot of excitement, and he definitely couldn't miss it, so he chased him out.

Li Rugui caught up with Shen Jiannan and asked, "Fourth brother, what's going on?" ”

"Those three people said that Dongchang arrested a very important person, I guess it was Miss Liu, so follow up and take a look." Shen Jiannan said hesitantly.

Ma Xiaoyun's legs and feet were a little slow, and he only trotted all the way behind to catch up, and scolded on his lips: "What kind of person, I don't have any sympathy at all, is it a brother, you actually left me here alone in the middle of the night, and I won't tell my brother when I go back." ”

Shen Jiannan and Li Rugui followed all the way to the rocky hill in the north of the town, only to see that after these three people went to a big stone, they could vaguely see four heads behind them, and the other one must be from Dongchang. At that moment, the two walked in and hid on the side of the big stone, but after listening to it for a long time, they didn't hear a sound on that side, which was very strange.

"Your Royal Highness, don't come unharmed." Cao Jixiang turned around and walked out from the boulder, with a smile on his face and his hands folded.

"How do you know I'm here?" Shen Jiannan felt incredulous.

"Hehe, there is nothing that the old slave can't inquire about if he wants to know." Cao Jixiang had a very proud expression and laughed loudly.

"Looks like you brought me here, what the hell are you trying to do?" Shen Jiannan said coldly.

"Your Highness, I have no ill will in the old slave, I still say the same thing, please go back to the palace with me, and the old slave still has one more thing to discuss with His Highness." Cao Jixiang showed a treacherous expression.

"I think you better not talk about it, I've already said it, I won't go back." Shen Jiannan spoke coldly, and sealed his mouth with one sentence.

Cao Jixiang still didn't give up, and continued: "Your Highness, the old slave has another request, that is, I want to ask Your Highness to share the emperor's worries. ”

Shen Jiannan was puzzled and asked, "What worries can I share for the emperor?" Are you looking for the wrong person? ”

Cao Jixiang had a gloomy face and said: "This matter must be yours, at present, the sects on the rivers and lakes are looking down on the imperial court, and everyone wants to get some benefits from the imperial court, so these people arrest you, so as to threaten the emperor, the old slave means to ask His Royal Highness to cooperate with the emperor, let's come to the inside and outside, Your Highness, you are in the rivers and lakes, you can pretend to cooperate with those sects, and secretly help the imperial court and eliminate the sects, which is also to lay the foundation for your own future, get rid of these stumbling blocks in the rivers and lakes, and do the previous actions, It also saves you the trouble of becoming an emperor in the future. ”

Shen Jiannan listened to this, laughed a few times, and said: "Father-in-law Cao, you are talking in a dream, I can't do this kind of thing, I won't design to harm people, let alone bury other people's lives for my own future, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, otherwise you won't end well sooner or later." ”

Cao Jixiang sighed: "You can curse me, but the old slave is doing this for you and the emperor, don't you really understand the old slave's good intentions?" ”

"Take back your good intentions, what are you, think I don't know, I already let you go last time, what the hell do you want to do?" Shen Jiannan was indignant and glared at the person in front of him.

"Oh, Your Highness, you have wronged the old slave, I won't say it before, even if it was the fault of the old slave before, but this time, the old slave is sincere, the old slave also knows, the previous incident, I am really sorry for the emperor, and then I myself have thought about it many times, all I have to make up for my mistakes, do something for the Ming Dynasty, so I took the risk, I thought of such a way, although it is more dangerous, but I believe that with your Royal Highness, your identity, the status of the rivers and lakes, can still be controlled." Cao Jixiang analyzed reasonably, and the head is the Tao.

Shen Jiannan was very impatient when he heard this, and only said lightly: "Have you said enough, I don't want to listen to you here, if there is nothing else, I will leave." ”

"Don't go, I'm not done yet." Cao Jixiang hurriedly stopped.
