"That's all they said?"

Chu Mingyan sat behind the desk, and the doorman translated Shen Zhou's sign language word by word, and then recorded it in the booklet. Chu Mingyan never raised even an eyebrow from beginning to end, and he didn't take those words into account at all.

Shen Zhou nodded.

"I thought there was some big plan, but it was just a bunch of simple idiots. It's a disappointment. Chu Mingyan patted the dust on his hands and said declaratively.

Shen Zhou looked at him with a pair of dark eyes, and actually nodded in agreement.

Chu Mingyan was a little surprised, Shen Zhou could be regarded as something he grew up watching, his seven emotions and six desires were so weak that he was almost none, looking at everyone was like looking at the air, but he could only say a few words with Chu Zhixia.

Whether it was humiliation or praise, he could not hear it, and could only understand it in the most straightforward literal sense, let alone such a mockery.

The matter of listening to the imperial capital to make the conversation must be kept secret and foolproof, and the accompanying staff and others in the mission have a scarred face by their side, and sit behind a group of scholars without smiling and lifeless breath all day long.

According to the intelligence of the spies, this person's name is "Li Zhengxi", a well-known "ghost knife" on the rivers and lakes, and his knife skills are fierce and strong.

Most people who practice martial arts have some senses that are different from ordinary people, such as eyesight and arm strength, and Li Zhengxi's hearing is also an important part of his sword skills. It is said that he could hear the heartbeat of everyone within seven feet, and that he had been fatal when their hearts were beating the most violently.

Chu Mingyan has chosen a secret guard for a long time.

Yunzhong is located at the border pass, and there are countless open guns and hidden arrows on the battlefield, and there are naturally many spies and assassins, but the elite are mostly used to listen to military reports.

This person must be able to hide his heartbeat under the excellent hearing of the mission guards, and he must also have the ability to advance and retreat freely, and even if he is discovered, he cannot be caught.

In the end, it was Shen Zhou who took the initiative to ask Ying to break the game.

Shen Zhou's identity is very special, and Chu Mingyan didn't think about letting him get his hands on it at all. The more important reason is that Chu Mingyan doesn't want to take advantage of a child, a child who is about the same age as Chu Shixia, fragmented, and finally put together.

So Chu Mingyan refused on the spot.

But Shen Zhou was very persistent, and even said, "I have nothing to do for her except to kill people, but this kind of thing is not dirty."

Chu Mingyan suddenly realized that the two little cubs had decided that Shen Zhou was also going to the imperial capital, and only he, the person in charge, didn't know.

"Speaking of which, I heard Changle say that you can't speak." Chu Mingyan said with concern, "Is the residual poison attacking again, do you want me to pass on the book to your master and let him come back?" ”

Shen Zhou shook his head.

"Well, if you think it's okay yourself." Chu Mingyan knew that he was stubborn and didn't interfere too much, so he waved his hand at him, "Go find Changle to play, what has she been doing in the past two days?" ”

These two people are always inseparable from each other, and if you want to find Shen Zhou, you only need to shout his name next to Chu Zhixia, and this person will appear.

Sometimes Chu Mingyan can't help but suspect that what his mother left him was not actually a younger sister, but a pair of dragon and phoenix siblings - and probably complementary personalities, everything that Shen Zhou had never said in his life was told by Chu Zhixia.

Shen Zhou thought for a while, and then gestured, "Teasing the bird." ”

Chu Mingyan was not surprised, and asked casually, "Where did you come from?" ”

Shen Zhou froze in place for a long time, as if he didn't know how to describe that person, so he snatched the doorman's pen and dropped two big words on the paper: "Eunuch".

Chu Mingyan raised an eyebrow.

When Shen Zhou left, the doorman asked without worry: "Lord Wang, do you really want the eldest lady to go to the imperial capital?" ”

"The lies I used to be made up by the spies in the entire north of the north were crushed by this little bastard and a horse. Now the emperor wants her to go, if she doesn't go, the Chu family will be disrespectful at least and rebellious. Chu Mingyan hugged Tang Pozi and closed his eyes to recuperate, "I can't help it now." ”

"But the second son has rushed back from Yongxue Pass, and he will be there in a few days." The doorman looked bitter, "How will it end then?" ”

"She poked the basket herself and cleaned it up by herself." Chu Mingyan cared more about another thing, "What is the name of that eunuch in the mission?" ”

——

Three days ago.

Chu Shixia met the eunuch at the gate of the courtyard.

In the Zhenbei Wangfu, there is a government soldier in three steps, and a secret guard in five steps, and Chu Zhixia knows that someone is waiting for her two miles away from the courtyard. She deliberately dragged Yuzhu in the back garden to scourge the snowman who didn't know who had built it, and then walked back slowly.

The eunuch shivered in the ice and snow, with strips of ice on his eyebrows, and his smiling face was almost cracked by the freeze when he saw Chu Zhixia.

"Yo, who is this?" Chu Zhixia pretended to be stupid, "Is it a noble person from the imperial capital?" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Miss Chu has tormented the old slave." The eunuch touched the snow particles on his face, and said with a smile, "The old slave served in front of His Majesty, and was favored by His Majesty and given the name Bai Shan." ”

Bai is the emperor's surname, and Chu Zhixia weighed it in his heart - this person was sent by the emperor and was very trusted by the emperor. The emperor sent such a person to Yunzhong, and it cannot be said that he did not attach importance to this matter.

Chu Shixia politely asked, "I don't know what Father-in-law Bai has to teach?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Bai Shan confessed again and again, "Before the old slave left, His Majesty asked the old slave to bring some things to give Miss Chu to relieve her boredom, so as to relieve Miss Chu's pain of leaving her hometown." ”

He attached his ear to Chu Shixia's ear and said softly, "The matter of the Chu family's entry into the imperial capital is really not what Your Majesty wants. But Your Majesty will keep the girl safe. ”

Chu Zhixia laughed in his heart, and said in his heart, he didn't even say whether I could enter the imperial capital or not, whether I was dead or alive in the imperial capital, could he have the final say? These words are full of loopholes, if it is not for the emperor to lie and deceive, it is this sentence "not what His Majesty wants" mixed with water.

How did Bai Shan know that when Chu Zhixia heard a sentence, his mind turned one hundred and eighty times, and his eyes were full of eyes that this eldest lady was useless except for losing her temper, just like those arrogant noblewomen in the imperial capital.

"Chu San thanked Your Majesty." Chu Zhixia said respectfully, "Yuzhu, send Father-in-law Bai back, see how cold your father-in-law is." ”

Most of the things sent by Bai Shan were delicate things, such as amber paperweights, red coral beads, white jade pisces and so on. Chu Zhixia didn't even look at it, and ordered someone to take it and throw it in Chu Mingyan's yard, leaving only a golden wire cage in place, and the people didn't know what to do with it.

"What is this?" Chu Zhixia looked at the bird in the cage that was combing its own emerald feathers, and raised his eyebrows.

The bird was no bigger than a palm, and it was so delicate that it looked like it had been piled up with precious stones. The verdant feathers refracted different colors in the firelight, and the eyes looked like a pair of delicate blood jade carvings.

Yuzhu glanced at it and said, "This is a finch." ”

"I know it's a finch, how did you bring this thing from the imperial capital? Didn't that kill it? Chu Zhixia folded a thin branch of a plum blossom with his hand and reached in to tease it.

"Xu burned charcoal in the carriage, and Father-in-law Bai fed it with refined millet all the way!" Yuzhu has a lot of experience, "I heard that the finches raised by those big families in the imperial capital should be tied with fine gold chains, fed with pearl rice, and raised by burning silver silk charcoal in the big house!" ”

Chu Zhixia's smile faded slightly.

Yuzhu was a little confused, "Don't you like it?" ”

Such a delicate plaything is rare in Zhenbei Wangfu.

Yunzhong's military expenditure is huge, if it all depends on the appropriation of the imperial capital, and then the local officials have three layers of land and three layers of territory, even if the Chu family army is brave, the Yongxue Pass has already made the Beidi people fight like a sieve.

Chu Mingyan is open source and throttling, and the Zhenbei Wangfu is frugal, even if he is arrogant and indulgent, he will not be like those daughters in the imperial capital, there are endless strange things.

"Nothing, just feed it." Chu Zhixia threw the flower branch and said absentmindedly, "The things given by the emperor don't seem to be very good to raise to death." Where did the sunken boat go? ”

Yuzhu blinked a little blankly, "You don't know, how can I know?" Why don't you shout louder, Miss, maybe he's asleep? ”

——

Shen Zhou came back from the study, was stopped in the courtyard by Chu Zhixia, and repeated what he had heard. Yuzhu shouted bad at the beginning of the story, and hurriedly gave Shen Zhou a look and asked him to stop talking.

But Shen Zhou didn't understand what she meant at all, and finished speaking in one breath.

Yuzhu was terrified when she looked at it on the side, and couldn't help but glance at Chu Zhixia. Chu Zhixia's face was blue for a while, and his back molars were creaking.

Chu Zhixia is a person who is unreasonable and unforgiving, and he has to account for three points if he is unreasonable. Chu Mingyan's painstaking discipline was to no avail, and Yuzhu thought that the second son's instigation and connivance were indispensable.

Chu Zhixia hates people the most to arrange Chu Mingyan's body.

Not long ago, she also started on the street with the son of a general on the street, just because the man said after drinking, "The Chu family started with military force, and the king of Zhenbei is useless, and only the second son is stubborn."

Chu Zhixia finished listening to it next to him, and smashed the wine glass with a "bang". Kicked him three ribs on the spot and smashed a street shop. Yuzhu was so frightened that she couldn't speak at that time, she wanted to ask Shen Zhou to help hold people, but she didn't expect Shen Zhou to roll up his sleeves and come forward to help.

The two of them beat the son, along with the fox friends and dog friends and flying eagle lackeys with the son, so that the people of Yunzhong County watched a lot of excitement.

Afterwards, Chu Mingyan lost the money of the store in a low voice, and then angrily carried the person back to the ancestral hall to kneel. Even so, Chu Zhixia stiffened his neck and refused to admit his mistake, and drank three bowls of medicine to Chu Mingyan angrily before he reluctantly said that he had done something wrong.

Next time, I must let Shen Zhou drag people into the alley with sacks and beat them. Chu Zhixia thought hatefully in his heart at that time.

"Miss, that's someone from the imperial capital...... Yuzhu reminded her tremblingly.

Not to mention a beating, just sending someone to eavesdrop on other people's walls is already a loss. Chu Zhixia didn't make it by hair, even if he did, he had to endure it.

"You're not happy." Shen Zhou's eyes darkened, "Then I'll kill them." ”

Seventeen-year-old Shen Zhou's eyebrows and eyes were only slightly angular, and when he silently gestured this sentence, there was a kind of cold ferocity - no one would doubt his words, even if you couldn't even feel his presence when he didn't speak.

Yuzhu shouted for help in her heart, and made up her mind that as soon as Shen Zhou went out, she would rush to Chu Mingyan's study to complain.

"No, you don't."

Yuzhu's heart fell heavily and was steady.

Chu Zhixia's eyes turned and landed on the finch who was combing his feathers by himself, "I will take his life personally." ”

"Also," Chu Zhixia turned to look at Shen Zhou's eyes and said word by word, "Shen Zhou, don't do such a thing again." ”
