Liu Taiwei's house.

A servant was kneeling on the ground and reporting to the butler.

"I wanted to pretend to be a little thief and wait for the opportunity to assassinate the two, but they are all masters."

"Small suspicions, among them are members of the Shadow Guard and Xing Guogong's secret power Twelve Guards."

Steward Liu frowned when he heard this report.

"How did you guess that there were twelve members?"

It is no secret that the prince has shadow guards by his side.

However, Xing Guogong sent twelve guards to protect a concubine, which had to make people vigilant.

"The old housekeeper once arranged for three orphans to go undercover in Xingguo Mansion, among them was the little one, the little one got out by fake death, and the personal guard next to Li Xing, the little one had seen before."

Steward Liu suddenly realized.

No wonder he didn't know!

It turned out to be his father's layout back then.

He said to the dead man who reported it: "I see, it is wise that you did not do it this time, go down and receive the reward!" ”

"Thank you, butler."

The dead man hastened to thank him.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that he had been undercover in Xingguo Mansion and had seen Li Gou'er.

Otherwise, not to mention receiving the reward this time, I'm afraid they will have to be heavily punished, after all, they didn't complete the task.

The dead departed.

Steward Liu hurriedly went to the study where Mrs. Liu was.

Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Liu didn't reply, put down the pen in his hand and said: "You came in such a hurry, it seems that this assassination failed again, tell me why you missed twice?" ”

"Master, although this time failed, there were unexpected discoveries."

Steward Liu knew that the old man didn't like to pat on the back.

So instead of saying flattering words, it goes straight to the point.

Seeing that Master Liu was looking at him, he didn't dare to sell Guan Zi, so he hurriedly said: "That Li Xing has the protection of Xing Guogong's twelve guards, and the old slave dares to guess that this son's travel through the rivers and lakes is definitely not as simple as we see, and all his actions may be related to Xing Guogong." ”

Hearing the butler's speculation, Taiwei Liu did not speak immediately.

Instead, he closed his eyes and thought about all the news he got about Li Xing.

"Is it possible that the woman didn't die?"

Mrs. Liu suddenly said this.

Others may not understand, but Steward Liu knows some inside information.

Although his father was the housekeeper back then, he was also responsible for some of those shady things.

And that woman is the old man who sent him to carry out the mission of assassinating the woman in order to express his sincerity in cooperating with the Zheng family.

"Master, it was the old slave who watched that woman jump into the abyss with his own eyes, unless there is a god to rescue him, otherwise even if he is a master of the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, he will definitely die."

Seeing that the housekeeper said this, Taiwei Liu nodded and said: "In this way, for so many years, countless assassinations between us and the Zheng family have failed, and it was Xing Guogong who secretly intervened and saved his son. ”

"It seems that we underestimated Li Zhong, he can really endure and deceive us."

The butler knew that at this time, he must not speak, otherwise the master would inevitably be angry with him.

So I can only keep my head down and pretend to be deaf.

Seeing that the housekeeper lowered his head and pretended to be stupid, Taiwei Liu patted his head angrily: "If you have a virtue with your father, you know how to pretend to be deaf and dumb, get out, and pass the news to the Zheng family, telling them that things are not complete, and sometimes it is possible to take risks." ”

"Yes, master, the old slave will arrange it."

The housekeeper leaves.

Liu Taiwei suddenly picked up his pen and wrote down eight words: "The wind will rise, and the grass will only survive." ”

……

Entering the city, I watched all the plans be carried out in an orderly manner.

Jiang Hong and Li Xing were very satisfied.

Especially when they learned that Lang Zhong and Shang Jia, who came from other places, were all resettled, the two of them were even more satisfied.

As long as there are businessmen coming, they can drive the economy of Hedong.

The current Hedong City is in ruins, and it is when these merchants are needed.

As they passed by a tea shed, they heard the storyteller talking.

And the content of the story turned out to be related to Li Xuan.

This made Li Xing and Jiang Hong both coincidentally hold the reins.

I only listened to the storyteller: "Anyway, thousands of people entered the city and surrounded the governor's mansion, the eldest princess was outnumbered after all, and she was about to be captured by the White Lotus Sect bandits. ”

When the storyteller said this, he suddenly paused and asked the people who were watching and drinking tea.

Where did the people know?

Guessing.

It is said that the heavenly soldiers and generals are recruited.

It is said that it attracts thunder.

It is also said that the princess will be gone.

Of course, there are also scolding the streets, urging the storyteller to sell the guanzi.

In short, a variety of expressions.

Even the prince was interested at this time, and took out a small piece of silver from his body, about half a tael, and threw it on the bamboo grate where the storyteller collected money.

"Don't sell it, hurry up."

Hearing the prince's voice, everyone looked at the voice in unison.

When I saw that it was the crown prince and Li Xing.

They all knelt down and saluted.

The storyteller was also so frightened that his legs weakened and he went straight under the table.

Seeing everyone saluting, Jiang Hong hurriedly jumped off the horse and asked them to get up.

And walked up to the storyteller and helped him up: "Storyteller, what are you afraid of?" If you know something, just say it honestly, so what happened to Li Xuan throwing the flag? ”

"This ...... This one...... That, he seems to have changed as a person, from a weak scholar to a tall ...... who can fly on the wall High...... Master. ”

The storyteller stumbled and finished.

Jiang Hong asked again: "What did you see with your own eyes?" ”

The storyteller nodded vigorously: "No...... It's not just me, it's ...... A lot of people have seen it. ”

"What happened?"

Jiang Hong asked again.

Mr. Storyteller, slapped himself in the face.

Only then did he speak a little more neatly: "The official army arrived, and finally captured all those remnants of the White Lotus Sect. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Hongcai breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the storyteller.

said: "Your book is good, Bengong likes it very much." ”

After Jiang Hong finished speaking, he got on the horse again and said to Li Xing: "Lao Li, let's hurry up, I can't wait, I want to know what happened?" ”

"I also want to know why Li Xuan has changed so much."

Li Xing suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The two rushed to the governor's palace, but the eldest princess was not there, and after inquiry, they learned that the eldest princess had gone to help the homeless again.

Li Xuan is in the side hall of the Governor's Palace, and he is very serious about handling the affairs of these days.

So much so that Li Xing and the others walked in, and Li Xuan noticed that someone was coming.

When he looked up and saw that it was the prince and Li Xing, his face couldn't help but show joy.

Salute to the two.

Jiang Hong held him up: "Mr. Li, you don't need these false courtesies with this palace, you tell this palace how to use the flag and turn yourself into a super master, this palace wants to learn." ”
