The assassin didn't seem to be coming at Su Ying, because after seeing Zuo Chengyi coming, he turned around and ran away, and there was no fight. In any case, this is not the performance of a normal assassin.

"Are you alright?" Zuo Chengyi didn't go to the assassin, he just looked at Su Ying with concern, "Are you injured?" ”

Because of Xiao Ran's words before, Su Ying didn't know how to face the man in front of him for a while.

"I'm fine, the assassin didn't hurt me."

At this time, Xiao Ran hurriedly chased after him, panting and said: "The assassin came straight to Miss Su just now, but I don't know why, but in the end he didn't make a move, as soon as I shouted for help, he ran away." ”

Zuo Chengyi frowned.

"You're saying that the assassin had the opportunity to kill, but he let it go?"

Xiao Ran nodded violently.

"The sword is pointing at the girl, that's why I shouted."

Su Ying touched the place on his neck that was pointed at by the sword just now, and also confirmed the matter.

After Zuo Chengyi pondered for a while, he added several masters to protect Su Yingquan, and he himself went to see Cheng Guogong overnight.

"Grandfather, but you sent someone to kill the distinguished guests in my courtyard?"

Until now, Zuo Chengyi has not questioned Zuo Mao about the poisoning of Xiao Mansion.

He still calls him 'grandfather'.

"Sit." Zuo Mao pointed to the chair below, and when he sat down, he said unhurriedly: "Grandfather has always been curious, why did you refuse several family affairs, but today, I finally know the answer." It turns out that you are actually for that woman. ”

"Grandfather supervising grandchildren?" Zuo Chengyi's tone was still steady, and he didn't seem too surprised.

Zuo Mao took a sip of tea lightly, his expression indifferent.

"Just a reminder for you."

"Grandfather?"

"It's not easy for you to escape death, you don't think about how to do big things, but you think about the woman who provokes silence all day long, you really disappoint your grandfather."

"Grandfather...... Yes, the grandson knows the mistake. ”

"It's good to know what you're wrong." Seeing that Zuo Chengyi bowed his head and admitted his mistake, Zuo Mao didn't hold on anymore, "Shen Mo is already on a par with our forces, and in the past two days, he has persuaded Qin Li to join him. Silence is a real problem for us. You shouldn't provoke his woman at this critical moment, provoke him, and it will be even more detrimental to us. ”

Speaking of Qin Li's sudden choice to take refuge in silence, Zuo Chengyi also sent someone to inquire in the past two days.

Qin Li was originally a centrist, and after leading his troops out of the control of the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, he did not favor Shen Mo or Zuo Chengyi's side, but seemed to be hiding on the side to watch a good show, and as if he was thinking about which side of the two brothers should be submitted.

After all, these two brothers are Xiao Ding's own sons.

It wasn't until some time ago that Zuo Chengyi was 'killed' by artillery, and Qin Li did not hesitate to join Shen Mo's command.

With his joining, Shen Mo's strength is already slightly better than Zuo Mao's side.

Especially two days ago, Qin Li had already led his troops to test with the people on Chengguogong's side, if it weren't for Zuo Chengyi's sudden return, Qin Li was afraid that he wouldn't have given up easily.

After Zuo Mao finished speaking, he asked Zuo Chengyi to go back and rest, and he himself summoned Zuofu's children and grandchildren to come.

He reminded a few people: "Zuo Chengyi is a person, don't underestimate it, I let people work with the Waiyi people to work together, and he will be able to find out sooner or later." When that time comes, the new hatred and the old hatred will be added together, and he is afraid that he will not let go of our Zuofu. ”

The son of the Zuo family was puzzled: "Then why didn't my father get rid of him first while he was still suspicious?" ”

"Easier said than done!" Zuo Mao was very anxious about his son's short-sightedness, "Zuo Chengyi was not killed, and he appeared in the barracks with great fanfare, if the old man kills him at this time, then half of Xiao Ding's followers under his hands will rise up to resist, and the old man will be able to suppress them, and his strength will be greatly reduced, do you understand?" ”

"Understood, understood." The descendants of the Zuo family hurriedly hugged their fists.

Zuo Mao said again: "There is another reason for keeping Zuo Chengyi, that is, with him, Shen Mo and Qin Li will not make a big deal against us for the time being, and the old man will have the opportunity to make the next deployment." ”

The children and grandchildren of the Zuo family said in unison:

"Daddy is wise."

"Grandfather is wise."

Zuo Mao waved his hand and sighed.

"I always feel that Zuo Chengyi came back this time, as if he was a different person, and he and I didn't seem to be as close as before. Isn't he already aware of something? Or, did you hear some rumors in private? ”

Zuo Mao's concubine, that is, Zuo Chengyi's father, was puzzled: "No, when the son saw that he was to his father, he also asked for a visit in the morning and evening, or was he very respectful and close to you as before." ”

Zuo Mao always felt that it was inappropriate, but he couldn't say why.

In the end, he only waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, maybe the old man is too careful." But you have to keep an eye on him, and tell me as soon as you notice something is wrong. ”

"Yes."

The whole family discussed until midnight in the Chengguo Mansion, and on the silent side, the father and son also talked until late.

Shen Jinbao looked at his son and was very distressed.

"Do you really want to marry that Song girl? Aren't you afraid that Su Yatou will be sad and sad? ”
