Chapter 67: The Prince

Today is the ten-day break of White Horse Academy, and students who are closer to home can go home and rest for a day, and then return early the next morning or before the lights go out.

Wen Chen simply packed his bags last night, got up early this morning, took his bags and happily went out of the dormitory with his classmates, unconsciously he had been away from home alone for ten days, and couldn't help but secretly admire himself.

"Fourth brother!"

Wen Jian stood beside the carriage of the Wen family, smiled and waved his hand at Wen Chen, Wen Chen recognized it as his second brother at a glance, hurriedly saluted his classmates goodbye, and rushed to Wen Jian in three steps and two steps.

"Second brother! Today, when I went to the bamboo forest in the west of the city, you told me that I was looking forward to it every day, and I can't regret it."

After Wen Chen finished speaking in one breath, he looked like he couldn't change, but when he saw the person behind him, his little face immediately became much more regular, and he shouted respectfully, "Big brother."

"No wonder letting the second brother pick you up from school seems to have been premeditated."

Wen Yan looked at Wen Jian beside him with a smile, Wen Jian laughed, and shook the folding fan to watch the excitement as if he didn't care about himself.

Wen Chen lowered his head a little lost, Wen Yan touched his head, lowered his body and comforted, "Don't be nervous, I came today to talk to Chief Yanshan about your studies, he said that you adapt quickly, and you will definitely improve if you work hard in the future."

Wen Chen nodded heavily, confidently assuring, "Yes, I will work hard."

Wen Yan nodded with relief, it was really a lot easier to have him in him, but Wen Chen was still young and had some rules to follow, he raised his hand and patted Wen Jian's shoulder and instructed, "I still have to rush back to the palace to be on duty, you take the fourth brother to have a good time, and send him back to the academy on time at night."

"Yes!"

Wen Jian agreed heartily, and the two watched Wen Yan get into the carriage of the Taiyi Bureau and gradually walk away.

"Let's go, let's go have breakfast first."

Wen Jian motioned for Wen Chen to leave immediately, and the two got into the carriage of the Wen Mansion, Wen Chen replied with some excitement: "I'm not hungry, let's go directly to the bamboo forest, not far from the academy."

Wen Jian shook her head with a smile, pointed to the thin clothes on Wen Chen's body, pursed her lips and said, "That's not good, seeing that it's autumn, I'm going to take you to the Royal Street Tailor Shop to measure the size." You're a lot taller this year, and since you live in the college, you need to prepare two more sets of autumn clothes. Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are commonly used things, and you have to buy some to prepare every time. If you want to bring some food for your classmates, we can buy some preserved fruits and jerky after lunch. Finally, I will take you to the bamboo forest in the west of the city to enjoy the sunset, what do you think?"

Wen Chen opened his mouth wide, his arrangement was perfect, if he was a woman, he would definitely be moved, and he couldn't help but praise him: "Second brother, you think so well, whoever marries you is her blessing."

Wen Jian pursed his lips and smiled, although Wen Chen was praising him, why did this sound so awkward?

Before he knew it, the good day passed quickly, Wen Chen happily spent the first rest, he really hoped that Wen Jian would pick him up in the next ten days after ten days, so that he would have a perfect rest.

The autumn day in the west sinks, dyeing the clouds on the horizon red, the bamboo branches are swaying, the bamboo leaves are swaying, and the sunset sprinkled in the bamboo forest is mottled. Wen Jian thinks that the bamboo forest at dusk is the most beautiful, he really wants to enjoy this rare beauty with Bixiao, in the blink of an eye, she has been away from Beijing for many days, and he really can't stop thinking about her day and night.

"Second brother, look, this sunset is so beautiful! Second brother is the best, you are the best brother in the world!"

Wen Chen jumped off the carriage, deeply feeling the gift of nature, and he couldn't wait to run wantonly in the bamboo forest. Wen Jian hurriedly followed, but because he was only chasing Wen Chen, he couldn't notice the figure that suddenly appeared on the side.

Wen Jian was caught off guard and crashed into the arms of a woman in purple, and he immediately got up and apologized again and again: "Sorry, it's rude."

The woman was masked with a light veil, with a slender figure, and her height was about to match Wen Jian, Wen Jian hurriedly raised her head and concentrated, a pair of deep eyes were very familiar, and the title that lingered in his heart blurted out.

"Woman!"

"Didn't you say that you would call me Xiao'er?"

The woman raised her hand to remove the veil, a full forehead, slightly raised eyebrows, slender eyes, a high nose, a pointed chin, and an extraordinarily heroic face

Showing a hint of shyness, the woman in front of her was Bixiao who Wen Jian was thinking about in the twilight.

"Xiao'er, you're back? Are you still leaving?"

Wen Jian was excited, and held her in his arms, the fresh medicinal fragrance came to his nose, this smell was a sachet made by him, he gave it to her before Bixiao left, it seems that she has been carrying it with her.

Bi Xiao didn't push him away, but reached out and put her hand around his back, buried her cheek deep in his neck, and then tightened her arms hard, and whispered softly, "Don't go, I just returned to Beijing, and I want to come over and talk to you."

Wen Jian turned her face sideways and kissed Bi Xiao's cheek lightly, Bi Xiao sensitively let go of her arm and quickly bounced away, the corners of Wen Jian's mouth rose to outline a beautiful arc, took her hands and said, "Let's eat together in the evening."

Bixiao wanted to agree, but remembered that there was still something to deal with in a hurry, so she pursed her lips and said with some regret, "Tomorrow, I still have something to do."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the hospital tomorrow morning."

Wen Jian Shuangli agreed, holding her hand and sending her out of the bamboo forest, Wen Chen, who was not far away, looked at the two who were very compatible, and grinned and smirked: "It seems that I will have a second sister-in-law soon."

In the main hall of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, Mo Yan looked at the black-clothed man standing by the window with great interest, his appearance was not delicate but not ugly, but the corners of his eyes were slightly drooping, and he looked very uneasy to mess with.

"You're the Shadow Guard?"

The man in black nodded, and as soon as he entered the room, he introduced himself, isn't this Mo Xiaohou a fool?

"We've met, haven't we?"

Mo Yan smiled faintly, playing with the jade wrench on the index finger of his left hand, he has been more and more fond of this kind of jade small object recently, round and handy, like her tender skin.

"The little marquis of Mo has a noble status, and he is not masked with his humble position."

The voice of the shadow guard came to Mo Yan's ears again, and he was very sure this time that this person was the one who went to the Mo family's courtyard to report to him three years ago.

"I remember your voice, thank you for what happened three years ago. But do you know Wen Yena?"

The shadow guard's heart tightened, but the expression on his face did not change, but he subconsciously pursed the corners of his mouth.

"Little Marquis, Xiang is here."

Manager Li's voice came from the doorway, interrupting the conversation between the two, and the shadow guard relieved the strength of his hand, and the hand that had just clenched the saber was already red.

"Leader Xiang is not here, this shadow guard is not very cooperative."

Mo Yan got up and complained, there was no anger on his face, it was a sincere smile, although Bi Xiao didn't understand what he meant, but he was indeed late, and there was nothing to shirk.

Bi Xiao immediately drank three cups of tea instead of wine, and then bowed his hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, there are some personal matters that need to be done urgently, and I have been delayed on the way. Ruying, quickly apologize to the little marquis."

The Shadow Guard put the saber behind his back and bowed in apology, "I'm sorry, I just offended."

Mo Yan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't care anymore, took a sip of tea and continued, "How is the matter going?"

Mo Yan is most concerned about Cangzhou's affairs now, and everything else can be put aside, including the incident of the Shadow Guard's message three years ago, although it is very strange but it is not a big deal.

Hearing this, the shadow guard quickly became serious, he traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing for this matter, since Sister Bixiao was present, it was not easy for him to hide anything.

"Back to the little marquis, I secretly investigated the private manufacturing of weapons in Youzhou, followed the clues to the border between Youzhou and Liangzhou, and saw Qin Haotian smuggling a large amount of stone grease with my own eyes, in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, I sent a message to the local yamen, and followed him all the way down the river to Cangzhou by boat at the mouth of the river. When he arrived in Cangzhou City, he never went out of the inn, as if he was waiting for someone."

After the shadow guard reported all in one go, Bi Xiao nodded to the shadow guard and said some of her next steps.

"There are a lot of officials and martial arts families of various sects in Cangzhou, and I have sent people to check them one by one, and I have found nothing suspicious at present."

Mo Yan nodded, he had a bold guess in his heart, it was a secret matter about the previous dynasty.

It is said that Emperor Yu of the former dynasty is a lover of the country

The infatuated lover of beauty, but Emperor Yu's father is a man who loves the country and does not love beauty, and is bent on sacrificing everything for the supreme right, even the woman he loves and his own children, he is bent on becoming the person who holds the power in his hand, and the rumor is about living in the Kunning Palace. It is said that Ming Wang Ye is the son of the favorite concubine, but he was seized power by his father because of the prince, from the date of birth as Ming Wang Ye, lifelong captivity in Cangzhou, although good food and drink for the sake of eternal life can not go out of Cangzhou, otherwise there is no forgiveness, but this raise has been raised for more than 30 years, everyone has long forgotten this Cangzhou prince.

"Can Prince Ming be in the Cangzhou Palace?"

Mo Yan looked at the Shadow Guard, he knew that the Shadow Guard would be able to investigate it in detail, and he wanted to get an answer to ask him if he was right.

"Yes, I was sick some time ago, and I never saw him go out."

The Shadow Guard was very sure that most of these things were done by him alone, and tracking this matter did not mean that there were many people to be foolproof, but it would expose more information.

Mo Yan nodded, and continued to command: "Send more people to keep an eye on them, their fox tails are almost impossible to hide, but there are still many things that have not been clarified at the moment, so don't startle the snake."

After Mo Yan said this, Bi Xiao began to get nervous, and she hurriedly asked Mo Yan, "Isn't Lord Ming the uncle? I had the pleasure of meeting Miss twice in Cangzhou before."

"Have they seen it?"

The shadow guard and Mo Yan said that sentence almost at the same time, and Bi Xiao knew that this matter was extremely important, so she had to say it one by one.

"Prince Ming and Miss Ming met twice when they went to sea last year, but the distance between the two ships is very long, and the sea is also stormy, and Lord Ming has really never seen Miss's true face."

The shadow guard breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on Mo Yan's face became more solemn, he frowned and rolled his throat, reluctantly took a sip of tea to calm himself down quickly, and continued to ask, "Have you ever heard her voice?"

Bi Xiao thought about it carefully, although the two were not close, they did talk, so she replied truthfully: "Prince Ming and Miss greeted each other, and the two of them said a few more words when they fell in love, what's wrong?"

Mo Yan's face was pale, the teacup in his hand was crushed, his deep eyes were very cold and sharp, and he replied in a dumb voice: "Lord Ming is proficient in music, you don't need to look at your face, you can recognize who it is by listening to the voice, she has already been targeted."
