059 Wealth or Color
The two walked side by side on the official road up the mountain, Han Zai's palms were burning, and after a while, Jiang Sleeve Zhu's palms were sweating.
She moved, trying to withdraw her hand, but Han Jae stopped and looked at her with a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong?"
"My hands are sweaty."
Han Zai lowered his eyes, looked at the hands of the two of them clasped together, and was about to let go, when the ground under the feet of the two suddenly shook slightly, and Han Zai subconsciously looked into the distance, and the tips of his ears moved slightly.
Jiang Sleeve Zhu looked at him like this, and opened his mouth to ask, but Han Zai squeezed her hand a little tighter and took her to the side of the dense forest.
The two hid behind a national locust tree, Jiang Sleeve Zhu pinched Han Zai's palm, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you hiding?"
Han Zai looked at the official road with sharp eyes, without words, and after a few breaths, a group of light horses swept by, everyone was stubborn and stubborn, and it was clear that they were forbidden troops in the palace.
Jiang Sleeve Zhu looked at the backs of those people leaving, and his face became solemn, "The prince heard the movement of the cavalry just now? Why did they come to Tanglin all of a sudden?"
Han Zai pondered for a moment and said in a cold voice, "The leader is Xue Qian, the commander of the forbidden army, who belongs to the Lu Guogong party, but the person who is with him is not the deputy commander of the forbidden army, but a forbidden army with eyes."
The words fell, and without waiting for Jiang Sleeve Zhu to speak, he turned to look at her and said solemnly, "Those people are only afraid that they are coming for you, you can't go back to Tanglin again, you take this dagger, go down the mountain by yourself, and go back to the Regent's Mansion first."
Jiang Sleeve Zhu glanced at Han Zai deeply, understood that he still had to sit in Tanglin, took the dagger, explained "Lord Wang be careful", and turned to leave.
Han Zai watched Jiang Sleeve Zhu's back disappear on the official road before turning around and leaving.
In the Tanglin Palace, Xue Qian drank all a cup of tea, frowned and looked at Qin Zhen, "Dare to ask when the regent will be able to summon the lower officials?"
Qin Zhen raised his eyelids and glanced at Xue Qian lightly, "The project of filling up the underground river is huge, the prince is hungry and tired, so he got up late today, and I ask Commander Xue to wait patiently."
Xue Qian arched his hand: "The lower officials don't dare to urge the prince, but the noble concubine is worried about the progress of the Tanglin repair, and the lower officials report every day without delay, so they are a little anxious."
Qin Zhen pulled his lips imperceptibly and didn't answer again, while Xue Qian swept his gaze to a subordinate standing beside him, and the two looked at each other.
The group waited for another quarter of an hour before Han Jae paced out of the dormitory.
Xue Qian immediately got up and saluted, Han Zai sat down on the main seat, and looked at Xue Qian coldly, "Why did you suddenly come to Tanglin?"
Xue Qian bowed down and told Lu Guifei about the progress of Tanglin repair.
Han Zai's gaze swept over the few people behind him, pursed his thin lips, and said without anger, "In this case, then you will stay in Tanglin and listen to the progress of the craftsmen in the future."
"The Lower Officials obey the order!"
Han Zai looked sideways at Qin Zhe, "Arrange for Commander Xue and his party to stay!"
"Yes!" Qin Zhen turned to Xue Qian and his party and made a gesture of please.
Xue Qian saluted Han Zai again before leaving with him.
Han Zai watched everyone leave, thinking of Jiang Sleeve Zhu who went down the mountain alone, and couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart.
Maybe he shouldn't have let her go down the mountain directly, but waited for a moment in the same place, waited for him to finish the affairs here, and then escorted her back to the palace with the secret guard........
Qin Zhen settled Xue Qian and his party, and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw his master's frowning brows.
He stepped forward and asked, "Commander Xue came to Tanglin this time, but for the queen's mother?"
Han Zai hid the worry about Jiang Sleeve Bead from his eyes, nodded, and then asked, "Have you noticed the faceless forbidden army beside Xue Qian?"
Hearing his master's question, Qin Zhen immediately said, "Just now that his subordinates arranged for them to stay, Commander Xue chose a room with this person, and in addition, when I was waiting for you to summon him in the hall before, Commander Xue looked at the forbidden army who was born twice."
After a pause, he added, "What's wrong with that Forbidden Army?"
"It's unknown for the time being, let people keep an eye on him first! By the way, this king has arranged for Jiang Sleeve Zhu to return to the regent palace first, and you can find a secret guard to catch up with her
and keep her safe."
"Yes, lord!" Qin Zhen was ordered to leave.
Han Zai returned to his bedroom, sat down behind the desk, and picked up the Kanyu map, but he couldn't look at it, and the mountains and rivers on the rice paper unconsciously turned into the appearance of ginger sleeves.
He slammed the picture on the table, closed his eyes with a calm face, and still smiled at Jiang Sleeve in front of him.
With a long sigh, Han Jae opened the drawer of the desk, took out a sachet from it, and rubbed it gently, hoping that she would return to the Regent's Mansion safely.
Speaking of Jiang Sleeve Beads, she walked along the official road for about ten miles before she saw a village.
It happened that a villager was going to enter the city, and she subconsciously touched her waist and wanted to take a ride into the city, but she didn't find a little broken silver after touching it, so she had to walk up cheekily and ask the villagers if they could give her a ride.
When the villagers saw that she was wearing official clothes, they dared to refuse, so they hurriedly smiled and invited her to get into the car.
Before noon, Jiang Sleeve Zhu returned to Shangjing, and after thanking the villagers, she headed in the direction of the Regent's Mansion.
His feet were about to wear out, and he finally arrived at the regent's palace, but was expelled like a fly by the guards guarding the door.
Jiang Sleeve Zhu licked her dry lips, opened her mouth to explain, but couldn't reveal her identity, and couldn't help but feel a touch of embarrassment on her face, and after a while, she tried to say, "I'm old friends with Miss Fuyun in the Regent's Palace, can you help me pass it on?"
"Ho, I said that I had an old relationship with our prince, and now I said that I have an old relationship with Miss Fuyun, I see that you don't have a word of truth in your mouth! At the gate of the Regent's Palace, how can you be presumptuous! Get out of here!"
Jiang Sleeve Zhu walked so far to arrive at the Regent's Mansion, biting his lower lip hard, his eyes flashing with unwillingness!
Several guards didn't give her a chance to defend herself, holding knives and threatening, "If you don't leave, be careful to hit the ground!"
Jiang Sleeve Zhu saw the murderous aura in the eyes of several people clearly, and she didn't dare to gamble with her life, she slowly took two steps back and turned to leave!
Out of the alley, she scolded Han Zai in her heart, and turned in the direction of Qianjintang, planning to go there and settle down first.
Unbeknownst to her, after not taking a few steps, a carriage suddenly whizzed past her, and she felt a pain in her shoulder, and after a whirlwind, the person was taken into the carriage.
"Who are you?" In the carriage, Jiang Sleeve Zhu looked at the dagger against his neck and flashed with cold light, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a dumb voice.
The man in black just glanced at her coldly, "If you don't want to die, shut up!"
Jiang Sleeve Zhu ran around for a day, his strength had long been exhausted, and when he heard the threat of the man in black, he simply closed his eyes to rest, and at the same time his ears were pricked up, trying his best to distinguish the movement outside.
After a quarter of an hour, her strength was almost restored, and the voices outside the car became less and less, and she knew that if she didn't get out at this time, the chances of going any further were slim.
After making up her mind, her eyes fluttered, and she lifted her lips and smiled at the man in black, "This brother, I don't know if you kidnapped me for wealth or color?"
