Wu Yan woke up to the sound of birdsong, touched the broken knife on his side, but lazily lay back on the bed. Jiang Qian's other business has been resting for half a month, and although the injuries in his body have not been healed, there is no major problem.

A servant's voice came from outside the door: "Childe, breakfast is as usual." ”

"Business as usual." Wu Yan agreed, and after a sound of rustling outside the door, silence returned again. Wu Gan got up lazily, opened the door and took in the breakfast placed in front of the door, put it in front of the table by the window, and sat alone in front of the window to eat slowly.

Wu Gen ate very slowly and meticulously, not even a trace of residue. Outside the window, the mountains are full of flowers, the warblers are chirping, and the wind is beautiful. It's a safe and quiet place, and it's almost unvisited.

After breakfast, Wu Yan picked up the mirror on the table and looked at himself in the mirror in a daze. The face of the person in the mirror is a little pale, and it looks the same as before, but if you look closely, you will find that there are occasional black waves in the depths of the eyes.

Putting down the mirror, Wu Yan walked out of the house and quietly sharpened his knife under the pear tree in the courtyard. Looking at the thin whetstone in front of him, Wu Qian beckoned to the servant who came out of the house after cleaning, "No need to prepare lunch, I'll leave later." ”

The servant was not surprised, nor did he hold back, but nodded silently, and went about his business.

After meeting with Jiang Qian a few days ago, I learned that Jiang Ji Car Shop was the largest stronghold in Fuli City where the Knife Grinding Gate was installed. As a car dealer, there is an advantage, whether it is a high-ranking official or a peddler or a pawn, whether it is rented or bought, expensive or cheap, the car dealer's car will be used. Moreover, if the other party can't recruit a good driver for a while, Jiang Ji Car Dealer will also provide it intimately.

These coachmen who walk in the streets and alleys and enter and exit the Zhumen Han fence have naturally become a force to spy on intelligence, from hairpins to Li Shu, and even if a certain family loses a few chickens, they can't escape the ears of these coachmen.

Such a huge underground force walked in the city, and these ordinary-looking coachmen seeped into all corners of Fuli City like tentacles.

As for the man he saw that day, Jiang Qian revealed that this person was also a person in the knife grinding door. It's just that this person belongs to a single line in the door, and directly belongs to another person, and it is only a one-way contact with Lao Qitou on weekdays.

According to the rules of the door, Lao Qitou, as the local stronghold of the Knife Grinding Gate, has the responsibility to help each single line, but he cannot inquire about his whereabouts without authorization, otherwise it will be a taboo, after all, each single line may have its own independent task.

In the past, Jiang Qian had helped this person a few times, and if Wu Qian was in need in the city, the other party would help with his token.

Wu Gan asked intentionally or unintentionally, what kind of price should he pay if he asked him to help. Jiang Qian just smiled and didn't answer, and bluntly said that according to the rules of the door, if someone like Wu Qian asks for help from the knife grinding door, he will be written down, and when he needs to complete certain tasks, the door will inform him.

Wu Qian entrusted Rong Kui's affairs to Jiang Qian, but the knife grinding door is Lisuo, a few days ago the servant had told himself that Rong Kui was taken back to the mansion by the eldest princess, and he couldn't go to court for many days, and it was said that he was infected with scabies and needed to recuperate for a long time.

As for how the other party did all this, Wu Jian didn't want to know. Next, it is to break up the alliance of Rong Kui, Zhao Ling and Zhao Linge. Jiang Qian had advised him not to kill these nobles unless he had to, unless Wu Qian was ready to flee Zhao and be wanted by various countries.

Zhao Ling's place, the Knife Grinding Gate has also prepared some things, as long as Wu Gen is willing, he can launch it at any time.

Wu Gen also wanted to ask the Knife Grinding Gate to secretly send someone to protect the safety of Zhu Qianhua, but the other party was a little embarrassed, after all, it was much more difficult to infiltrate a big cultivation sect than to walk in the city. With the power of the sharpening knife gate here, I'm afraid it won't be enough.

Wu Yan suddenly remembered that Zhao Zhen knew Yisan, so he mentioned his name in passing. Hearing the name of Yi San, Jiang Qian was silent for a long time, and finally agreed to use a shadow to protect Zhu Qianhua in the door.

Walking on the road to Fuli City, Wu Gen's expression was calm, this time there was no ambush, and the road was safe. Touching the tailbone on his waist, Wu Yan entered the city.

Back at Zhu Buzhan's house, the person has not yet returned. Wu Qian found Lao Qi who was drinking and sat in front of the other party, "Old Qi, when will you connect with that person next time." ”

Lao Qi glanced at Wu Yan a little strangely, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Three days later, in the afternoon, the old place. ”

Wu Gen turned around and went out, not returning to the inn where he used to live, but preparing to find a resting place in the north of the city, where they were closer to Zhao Linge.

Walking on the street, Wu Yan bumped into Zhao Yuzheng head-on. Seeing Wu Gan, the son of the prince was overjoyed, and quickly jumped out of the car, "Wu Gan, how dare you swagger down the street, I heard that you were injured a few days ago." Go, go to my house, enter the palace, some people still want some face, and they will not send people into the house to assassinate without authorization. ”

Wu Gan just wanted to refuse, but suddenly his heart moved, "Is it convenient?" ”

"Of course it's convenient, Mr. Zhu is actually very worried about your safety, and he has also looked for his father, hoping to bless you for a thing or two, and his father agreed." Zhao Yuzheng replied hurriedly, he has very few playmates who can get along with him without scruples in the mansion on weekdays, and if he can pull Wu Yan to the mansion, he can learn the unique skill of stopping in the air.

"Your father is not afraid of Zhao Linge's jealousy." In the carriage, Wu Qian sat in it, looking at Zhao Yuzheng with a smile.

Zhao Yuzheng pursed his lips, "Why should my father be afraid of their jealousy, the only one who can make my father afraid is the emperor, as long as they don't ascend to the throne, they are just ordinary princes, can they die well." ”

Wu Yan couldn't help laughing, and his mood was better, "You are very poisonous, and you are not afraid that your cousins will clean you up." ”

Zhao Yuzheng sighed, opened the curtains a little, and looked out the window with one hand on his cheeks, "Born in the royal family, where is there any brotherhood at all, Lille is a good person all day long, intriguing, and not harming others." The second emperor's brother did a bit too much this time, so his father was also a little dissatisfied, and he was ready to play a book with the emperor on a certain day. ”

The two talked all the way to the palace and entered the palace through the side door. As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw a person who was bowing his head and hurriedly going out, and when he looked up and saw Wu Gan, he was surprised, and he bowed to Zhao Yuzheng and went out.

"Qin Guan is a guest in your house, I think I have a lot of filial piety for you." Wu Yan glanced at Qin Guan's back and sneered.

"Where, he took the initiative to come up, wanting to befriend his father and find a good errand in the capital. It's just that this person is shallow in his education, and his father doesn't treat him very much, but he just looks at his father's face and is wronged. Hearing the ridicule in Wu Gan's words, Zhao Yuzheng explained helplessly.

"Speaking of Wu Gan, when I met you this time, I always felt that you had changed a lot. How to put it, it seems that the temperament is a little colder, and it gives me a sense of danger. Zhao Yuzheng gestured back and forth with his hands, describing his feelings.

"Yes." Wu Yan turned his head to the window, one side of his face was bright as spring, and the other side of his face was dim and gloomy.

"Yes, it's not what happened recently, but I still like you by the river that day, sunny but a little scoundrel, dark but kind in the belly.

By the way, sir, let me meet you and say, don't lose hope in this world, after all, the sun rises every day, and the shadows will always dissipate. Zhao Yuzheng opened the curtains to let in more sunlight.

"Yes, but darkness is always coming." Wu Qian replied absentmindedly, his hand fell on his waist, touching a sachet that was given by Zhu Qianhua when he returned to the Yuan Sect, "I won't fall into it, I won't." He muttered to himself, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was making a promise to someone.

The car drove into a side courtyard, and Zhao Yuzheng jumped out of the carriage, "This is a vacant courtyard at home, you can rest assured that someone will deliver it when you need it." Since Mr. has spoken, then you can rest assured here, if someone dares to use any more means, he will have to pass the level of his father. ”

Walking to the front of the building, Wu Yan looked at this small building with carved beams and paintings, suddenly turned his head, and asked again uneasily, "If I live here, I am afraid that some grievances will implicate the palace." ”

"Don't worry, my family is also surnamed Zhao, and some people haven't been so presumptuous, after all, the emperor is not so easy to fool." Zhao Yuzheng waved his hand indifferently.

After a moment of silence, Wu Yan gently patted Zhao Yuzheng's shoulder, "Thank you." "If you stay in the palace, it also means that the palace has taken over your own beams. Although it is not clear why the other party takes such care of him, he still has to receive this affection.

stayed in the palace for three days, Wu Gen stayed in the courtyard every day, did not take a step at the gate, and someone would bring three meals a day. Sometimes, Zhao Yuzheng would also run over and ask Wu Gen for some cultivation experience of the Yijing.

Three days later, Wu Gen walked out of the gate of the palace alone, and after turning a few streets, he didn't notice anyone who was watching. plunged headlong into the intricate streets and alleys of Fuli City, and ran towards the ruined temple.

When I arrived at the ruined temple, there was no one here, and it seemed that the old man had not yet arrived. Wu Yan walked into the temple, the statue inside was long gone, and even the offering table was taken away by someone, and a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground.

With a slight jump, Wu Jian jumped onto the beam in the house and lurked quietly.

After a long time, the sound of the carriage sounded, and through the hole in the roof, it could be seen that the old man had rushed over. After stopping the car, he kept looking around, obviously a little uneasy.

In less than a pillar of incense, another carriage drove over, and a person jumped out of the car, it was the same connector last time, and there were still two guards behind him.

"Lao Qi, but what is going on in Zhu Buzhan, you have to keep an eye on it in the past two days, it may not be peaceful recently." The connector handed over a cloth bag familiarly, and when he opened it, it was some broken silver.

"I have something to tell you." Glancing at the two guards behind the other party, Lao Qi spoke: "Otherwise, we will enter the temple." ”

"Okay, you never entered the temple in the past." The connector laughed, gave an order to the two guards, and followed Lao Qitou into the temple gate.

After entering the temple, the connector looked at the dust on the ground, and there was nothing abnormal on it except for some mouse feces, so he walked in with confidence.

"Tell me, what new information do you ......?" the connector had just said halfway when a breeze blew behind him, and a hand rested on his throat.

"Don't scream, Jiang Qian asked me to find you." Wu Gen said in a low voice.
