As soon as the boat on which Zhao Bohu was riding had just left the shore, an old man came to invite Boyan and the other three to enter the front hall to rest. Boyan was just about to raise his feet to cross the threshold, only to feel that his clothes were ripped by the old man, and when he looked down, there was suddenly a red jade plaque in his hand. It was as if someone was whispering in his ear: "Please come with me, general, someone wants to see you."

Boyan was hesitant, glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, was taken aback, and excused himself to change his clothes to his subordinates, and followed the black shadow to look away.

The jade pendant is a favorite ornament of the time, and it is also a symbol of status. Commoners usually had only one or two pieces hanging from their waists. The aristocracy will be carved into various shapes, in a string on the chest or waist, if there is a grand ceremonial occasion, the quality of the jade material and the quantity, the degree of fineness, it will become a token of a person's identity.

In the Zhou royal family, which advocates royal etiquette, Peiyu, the prince of the royal family, has its own rules, and there must be a specific identity mark.

Members of the Zhou royal family, each of whom has a specific jade pendant, with an image of Fengming Qishan on the front and a name and birthday inscribed by their parents on the back. These jade pendants are not only recorded in the king's book library, but also have special marks of Shangfang jade workers, which cannot be forged.

Ji Boyan is a child of the royal family, naturally knows the secret, get started with a anyway, see that the front of this jade pendant is a dragon, the back of the three lines of engraved words "father and mother concubine Ji Wen Wuchen Chunyue", the edge of the back is the pickaxe Jing Shangfang jade work of the font name "there is a fang Shi Zhuo". When his father Ji Hui failed to seize the throne and fled to the Qi State, he and his younger brother were removed from the royal family, but the two brothers' biological jade pendants were not recovered. Boyan only glanced at it, and knew that it was indeed his younger brother Ji Zhongwen's jade pendant, and he couldn't help but feel a big mess.

Isn't this unassuming Zhongwen doing a good job as a doorman in the Zhou Mansion? How did he come out of Hangu and come to this lonely bamboo in the north? Could it be that Xing Huan was robbed and he was expelled from Beijing? What happened to the mother who was a nurse at the third prince's place?

Bo Yan's heart was in turmoil, and he just blindly followed the black shadow dangling in front of him......

The dark shadow zigzagged through several corridors, and finally stopped in a dark courtyard where it was difficult to see, only to hear a low voice, "Please wait here, General." Unable to allow Boyan to react, he drifted away like a ghost.

Boyan was about to take a look at this courtyard in the moonlight, when he suddenly heard a soft shout from the rooftop, "General Ji." The voice was clear, like a girl, and Boyan's heart moved: Woman? This voice is very unfamiliar, it shouldn't be Concubine Chen.

As a general, Boyan also has a bit of light skills, the dantian lifts his spirit, and his body is long, and he also jumps on the roof of the voice. There, a figure in a white veil and a white curtain on his head was already waiting. Bo Yan was a little puzzled, seeing that his body looked like a man, could it be that the voice just now was made by this person?

"Presumably the little general has already gotten the jade pendant?" The man in white spoke, and Boyan was sure that this person was the one who gave the jade pendant, but he still couldn't distinguish between the male and female, so he had to respond coldly: "My brother's birth jade pendant, how did it get into your hands?"

"Hahaha......" The man in white raised his head and smiled, but his voice was quite restrained: "The little general doesn't need to worry, but because your brother was sent by the Duke of Zhou to come to Chaoge to find you, and he had a good conversation with me for a while, leaving him to stay in the middle of Chaoge, and nothing else."

Knowing that Zhongwen was fine, Boyan was slightly relieved, but after all these years of experience in the world, he also knew that this person in front of him would have something to ask for, so he replied coldly: "It seems that Your Excellency has kept Zhongwen as a hostage, so please tell me directly, what do you want Boyan to do?"

"Okay, fast talk, the little general is a happy man. Such a brilliant person, but it is not tolerated by the royal family surnamed Ji, which is really the first injustice in the world."

"You don't have to talk about my life." Over the years, because of his biological father Ji Hui, he has not only been ridiculed, but also used by people with intentions from time to time as a chess piece, Boyan has hated this, and waved his hand: "If there is something to say, I have to go back to the hall to wait for the minister."

"Little General stays ......" Seeing that he was really leaving, the man in white hurriedly stepped forward and whispered. Boyan's face changed in an instant, his eyes widened and he rebuked, "Who is you, who actually intends to assassinate the summoner? What is his sin?"

The man in white sneered, "I don't need to be asked by the little general. It's just that the little general could have been the prince of the Great Zhou, but now he is not only expelled from the royal family, but also a subordinate, and the two brothers are driven everywhere, which is okay

Shirts also. If this matter is successful, I promise that you can set aside a city in the country of Guzhu as a fief for your son, and your two brothers will always enjoy wealth and prosperity, and it is not better than having your family and others as slaves?"

"I don't even know who you are, who you are? Why should I believe you?"

"Good!" The man in white suddenly lifted his veil, and his unusually clear face looked even more indistinguishable from male and female in the moonlight. Bo Yan couldn't help but shudder and took a step back: "You...... Is it a man or a woman?"

The man in white seemed to have long been accustomed to the world's criticism of his face and voice, and there was an indescribable bitterness on his beautiful face: "I am the nephew of the Lone Bamboo King, and the brother of Wei Jun's favorite concubine, Mang Ergu. Whether it is Guzhu or Weiguo, the little general's request can be met."

Bo Yan moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it. Manggu stopped him: "The little general doesn't need to be in a hurry, tomorrow someone will go to the post house to ask the general for a jade pendant, if the general agrees, he will give this jade pendant to someone who comes to take it away, how about it?"

After speaking, without waiting for Boyan to react, Mang Ergu put on the veil again, jumped over, and suddenly disappeared between several roofs.

When the waning moon was sinking in the west, Zhao Bohu and his party finally returned to the post house.

Listening to the rooster singing over and over again, Zhao Bohu could not sleep comfortably, and walked slowly around the courtyard alone. Seeing the thick morning mist falling like a thick curtain, the heavens and the earth were in chaos, and Zhao Bohu's heart was also chaotic. In a trance, he seemed to see the Huanghuang Hojing and the towering palace, and couldn't help shouting: "Oh my God, Zhaohu He is responsible for Zhou, and Duoyou is responsible for the world, and he is in such an embarrassing situation!"

After saying that, his heart trembled, and he cried out loud in the fog.

Zhao Bohu was immersed in his emotions, and he didn't notice that a black shadow sneaked into Boyan House silently, whispering in the dark for a long time......

In the turquoise water, a canoe floats long.

Although this former mansion was given to Dai Shan as another courtyard, the owner rarely came here on weekdays, and there was a favored sister Wei Concubine behind Mang Ergu, so King Guzhu allowed him to go back to the old house to live, which was half a master.

But this half of the master behaved very strangely, and only carried a small boat in the back garden pond all day long, and sometimes did not go ashore all day long.
