Chapter 423: Overheard

It is a waterway hidden behind the mountains, and it is a mountain with thousands of walls, and few people climb it, and no one would think that there is a river that runs through the mountains behind it, and it is possible to leave Kyoto from here.

Gu Qingyu likes to climb the mountain to collect spices or look for rare flowers and plants, accidentally went to the top of the mountain, and almost fell, and then Xiao Changqing found the branches with her cloth hanging on the treetops, thinking that she fell from there, and quickly went down the mountain to find people, but the mountain was not found, so he held a bamboo raft to find it, and accidentally discovered this secret waterway.

I know very little about this matter, Xiao Changqing must have played a lot of tricks to disperse Xiao Huayong's people these days, and then secretly searched for one, if there is no secret waterway, he can only choose the road to confuse Xiao Huayong, so that Xiao Huayong is sure that this is his only choice.

Shen Xihe was about to turn around to look for Xiao Huayong, but he calmed down in an instant, Xiao Changqing may not have been staring at Xiao Huayong's every move.

After she bowed her head slightly to Xiao Changqing, she turned back to her room, and immediately summoned Mo Yuan, asking Mo Yuan to hurry back quickly, on the pretext of picking up what she had left behind.

When Xiao Huayong was in Kyoto, Xiao Changqing didn't dare to act rashly, so he set off today, to cover people's eyes and ears over the mountains and mountains, and also take Ye Wantang with him, the footsteps should not be too fast, if Mo Yuan can catch up, he can still stop and kill in time.

"County Lord, what happened?" Pearl looked at Shen Xihe, who was standing in front of the window looking at the moon, and moved the candlestick closer to Shen Xihe.

Ever since the county lord saw His Royal Highness King Xin, his expression became solemn, and he had been silent since he sent Mo Yuan out.

"I know how King Xin helped Xiao Changtai get out of danger, and sent Mo Yuan back to ambush." Shen Xihe will not hide too much from his henchmen, which will make them speculate and worry for no reason, which is not conducive to the trust and tacit understanding between the master and servant.

"County Lord, don't you tell His Royal Highness the Prince?" Pearl hesitated for a moment before asking.

Pearl didn't believe in Shen Xihe, nor did she become dependent on Xiao Huayong. It's just that Xiao Huayong and Xiao Changqing have been competing in secret from beginning to end, and Shen Xihe has never interfered.

"No, you don't." Shen Xihe shook his head.

In addition to informing Xiao Huayong of some worries, Xiao Huayong's move alerted Xiao Changqing, Shen Xihe didn't know how to explain to Xiao Huayong why she was able to know such a secret reason.

Lying? Xiao Huayong is too smart, whether she is telling the truth or not, he must have a judgment.

Will this in the future be planted between each other and the root cause hidden?

If she answers, it is absolutely impossible, that is, her father and brother have no intention of informing her, let alone Xiao Huayong?

Don't tell Xiao Huayong, just by her strength, to ambush Xiao Changtai in the joint momentum of Xiao Changqing and Xiao Changtai, the chance of success is not great.

Fortunately, she didn't expect to be able to kill Xiao Changtai this time, but she did her best

"County Lord, are you waiting for the result without resting?" Pearl asked, "Do you want some refreshments for the county lord?" ”

"Don't bother......

"What are you doing here?" Before Shen Xihe's words fell, Shen Ying's voice sounded outside the house.

Shen Xihe and Pearl quickly walked out, and saw a wall apart, Shen Yingwen outside the carved window with Tan and two maids, and Jasper who arrived first blocked Gu Qingshu.

This is a vacant corner outside her house, and she has to go around her house to get here, but Gu Qingshu is next to her house, and she can also get here from Gu Qingshu's window, she is alone, and she has no maids and servants.

Shen Yingwen's house was facing Gu Qingshu's window, she was packing up her things, and happened to see Gu Qingshu jumping down from the window, and then the cat was here, not moving for a long time, so she brought the maid and Tan Shi over, although she was separated from Gu Qingshu by a wall, she could hear a faint sound coming from Shen Xihe and the house, and she reminded her.

"My tanuki slave is lost, and I heard it call, and I came here." Gu Qingshu explained softly.

"I saw you jumping here in the house, and I came from the house, and this place is too small to turn around, and it takes so long?" Shen Yingwen stood on the other side of the wall, her eyes shining through the window hole in the wall, and she was particularly aggressive in the night, "Since it's a tanuki slave, why don't you call it?" ”

"I ......" Gu Qingshu was speechless for a while, ignoring Shen Yingwen, but looking at Shen Xihe with clear eyes, "County Lord, I am really looking for a raccoon slave." ”

Shen Xihe glanced around, she did smell the breath that belonged to Gu Qingshu's raccoon slave, proving that her cat really jumped out from here not long ago, she smiled slightly: "It's true to look for a raccoon slave, and it's true to eavesdrop." ”

Gu Qingshu couldn't do anything to jump into this corner to squat, before that, they didn't know that they could eavesdrop here, let alone what secrets the other party would have.

It should be to find the cat and jump down, and it happened that she could faintly hear Shen Xihe mentioning Xiao Changqing, so she let the cat run away and squatted here to eavesdrop.

Gu Qingshu followed Shen Xihe's gaze, and landed on the clump of grass that was bent, as well as the mark that was stepped on, obviously biased towards the direction of Shen Xihe's house, and if it wasn't for a long time, such traces would not have been formed, she still said calmly: "County Lord, my raccoon slave was entangled here, I squatted here to help it get out of trouble, it was Shen Erniang who scared me and let it escape." ”

Shen Yingwen's voice really startled Gu Qingshu, and the cat she caught broke free and jumped out, this scene was indeed seen by Shen Yingwen, the Tan family and the maid, but the facts were clearly not the case.

"You ......"

Shen Yingwen was about to speak, Shen Xihe raised his hand to interrupt her, turned to her through the window and said, "It's late at night, go back to the room early to rest, tomorrow is a long trip, it's not good to make up for sleep in the carriage in hot weather." ”

Shen Xihe is the eldest sister, and her orders to Shen Yingwen will naturally not refute in front of outsiders, not to mention that she understands Shen Xihe's methods better than others, so she obeyed and took Tan and the maid away.

When they left, Shen Xihe turned to Gu Qingshu and said, "Lord Liyang, this is only this time, not an example." ”

Leaving a sentence lightly, Shen Xihe took Jasper and Pearl back to the room, regardless of Gu Qingshu.

Because they are all noble girls, it is inconvenient for the guards to guard in the house, Moyu returned to Beijing with Mo Yuan, Shen Xihe was left with only Ziyu, Jasper and Pearl to serve closely, and Hongyu stayed in Kyoto to take care of Duhulou.

Inevitably, there will be omissions.

"County Lord, will she hear ......" Pearl worried.

"What if you hear that?" Shen Xihe didn't care, "It's too late to know now." ”
