"Miss, isn't it afraid that the gelding will inform Your Majesty of this?" Cheng Yuan rode his horse beside the carriage and asked hesitantly.

The emperor believed in Wang Xianfu, but it was nothing more than the days of relying on people to breathe for a long time, so he thought of the days when Wang Xianfu endured hardships with him. Chu Zhixia killed people and set fire first, if Wang Xianfu went to the emperor to add fuel and vinegar, Chu Zhixia would inevitably cause a commotion.

"He didn't dare."

Chu Shixia said slowly: "Now it is imperative for the new policy to be promoted, and it is a big crime to encroach on land. If he comes to His Majesty and complains, will he be able to tell where the fields came from? ”

What's more, if he couldn't confirm whether those account books were still alive for a day, Wang Xianfu couldn't sleep well for a day.

"So that's it?" Cheng Yuan was still uneasy.

"Why do you ask so much? Upon thy errand, receive thy riches. Chu Zhixia lowered his head and wiped his fingers, "Since you call me Miss, Miss can still do this." ”

"But how did they know about the sinking boat?" Cheng Yuan was confused, "Wang Xianfu still has this ability?" ”

The sunken boat is day and night, and rarely appears in front of people. Wang Xianfu is a eunuch, knowing his existence, he can still call his name, is it really his hands and eyes to the sky? If this is really the case, why is he coming to Chu Shixia now?

Chu Zhixia had the bottom when Wang Xianfu said the word "sinking boat".

Wang Xianfu's wealth and power all depend on the emperor, and he put two eyeliners in the Autumn Leaf Mountain Curie against the sky, knowing that Shen Zhou's name is reasonable, and knowing that Shen Zhou's participation in the burning of Zhuangzi is worth studying.

After all, this matter was done thoroughly, and only Chu Zhixia and the three of them knew.

"It's the Regent."

The regent was put on a scene by Chu Zhixia in vain, and made a fuss about the immortals in the painting. After gaining insight into Shenzhou's skills, the burning of Zhuangzi is to find out the truth, or to plant blame, as long as Wang Xianfu believes it.

Chu Zhixia fiddled with the Buddha beads and made a "click" sound.

Clear to the ears.

"This matter is caused by subordinates, if it is...... His Majesty blames him, and his subordinates are willing to bear it. ”

"What's the matter with you?" Chu Zhixia's voice was calm, not like a fake, "Within three days, I will kill him." ”

——

Akiba Mountain House.

The breeze is coming, and the coolness in the water pavilion hits people.

Shen Zhou sat on the railing of the water pavilion with his sword in his hand and took a nap, the white light gauze brushed his face, and there was a bit of hazy beauty of seeing flowers in the fog.

"Pei Gongzi's yard has not been cleaned up yet, the house is hot, and Gongzi can rest in the water pavilion for a while." Yuzhu settled the Pei family in an orderly manner, and led Pei Zhang to the Water Pavilion.

"Who is this?" Pei Zhang examined the sinking boat with interest.

As soon as Yuzhu saw Shen Zhou, her tongue was almost knotted. Shen Zhou's whereabouts are uncertain on weekdays, and he will only jump out by himself when Chu Zhixia is looking for him, and Yuzhu doesn't know how this person ran to the water pavilion to blow the wind.

"It's the young master of our Chu family's side branch," Yuzhu's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Seventeen years old this year." Young Master Shen Zhou, this Pei Gongzi from Guanzhong, wants to stay in the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence for a few days. ”

Shen Zhou was indispensable, glanced at Pei Zhang expressionlessly, and turned his head again. His eyes didn't seem to reflect the person's appearance at all, and he ignored the past lightly.

Yuzhu didn't know what this person was messing up about, so she had to apologize to Pei Zhang, "Pei Gongzi is not strange, our young master Shen Zhou is a little withdrawn." ”

"It's okay to be a guest." Pei Zhang said tolerantly, "It's just that Pei Mou is shallow, and I have never heard that the Chu family has such a talented young master." ”

Shen Zhou ignored him, his eyes fell on Yuzhu, "She agreed?" ”

Yuzhu nodded desperately, for fear that this ancestor would be unhappy and cause trouble.

Pei Zhang was ignored again and again and was not angry, but looked at Shen Zhou. Pei Zhang has seen many high-ranking disciples who have no one in their eyes, some of them are ruthless and resourceful, and some are full of bad water, vulgar and despicable.

But the sinking boat is different from all of them.

Pei Zhang could see that he was not in Shen Zhou's eyes, not because Shen Zhou relied on wealth, power and status to claim to be great.

On the contrary, he looked down on everyone, princes and generals, and pawns of peddlers.

"If you look at it again, I'll throw you down and feed the fish." Shen Zhou said with his eyes closed.

"Are there any fish in this pool?"

"They all died last month." Shen Zhou said without hesitation, "There was an assassin who had poison in his body and fell into the pool and poisoned the fish. If you want to go down and feed it, I can go out and buy it. ”

Yuzhu gave up on herself and no longer made up for Shen Zhou.

"Shen Zhou Gongzi is polite." Pei Zhang was amused in his heart, feeling that Shen Zhou was different from ordinary teenagers, but he couldn't tell what the difference was.

Shen Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, and couldn't help but slam Pei Zhang on the railing. Although Pei Zhang is not a weak scholar, he was almost outended by this fall. Before the Venus in front of him was cleared, the sword in Shen Zhou's hand danced into a ball, jingled and flicked off more than a dozen crossbow arrows, and fell at Pei Zhang's feet.

Pei Zhang instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Yuzhu screamed unconsciously, and hurriedly checked whether there were any wounds on Pei Zhang's body.

"It turned out to be a nuisance." Shen Zhou pressed his sword back to the sheath and commented nonchalantly, "Not only troublesome, but also noisy." ”

——

Chu Zhixia returned to the Autumn Leaves Mountain Residence very late, Yuzhu pulled her sleeve and crackled and said, anxiety and urgency overflowing, and the summary was-"The surname Pei is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, so it's better to throw it out quickly." ”

"Where can ordinary people stand Shen Zhou's temperament, he didn't change his face, and he talked to Shen Zhou all afternoon." Yuzhu was a little frustrated, "Isn't this a sign of deep thought?" This man must have a plan. ”

Chu Zhi Xia Nahan looked at her: "Guanzhong Pei family, Pei Zhang sat firmly in the position of young master at a young age. If he didn't have a plan, would he come to the imperial capital to accompany our majesty? ”

Yuzhu fried hair: "The eldest lady is cautious!" ”

Chu Shixia disagreed, "Where are the two of them talking?" ”

"Water Pavilion."

——

"Water Pavilion has to be Jiangnan."

Pei Zhang shook his fan and talked eloquently, "It's too cold in the north, and if the pond water freezes in winter, it's too cold and hard." The winter sunset in the south of the Yangtze River is snowy and the water surface is still there, the dry lotus is fragmented, and the snow is white, which has a unique flavor. ”

Shen Zhou just listened, silent, but did not leave.

He and Pei Zhang sat here for a day, during which a total of three groups of assassins came to their deaths, either with crossbows and arrows, or at close range, or with poison. The sunken boat seems to have the ability to predict the future, and has repeatedly resolved crises.

Pei Zhang was like blood dripping into the seawater, attracting a group of sharks to bite one after another.

Shen Zhou added another stroke to Pei Zhang in his heart, this person's life seems to be very expensive.

"Miss Chu is back." Pei Zhang looked at Chu Zhixia who stepped on the bridge deck and said with a smile.

"Do you know why these people killed me?" Pei Zhang suddenly put his arm on Shen Zhou's shoulder and said.

Shen Zhou didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

He saved Pei Zhang, just because the Autumn Leaf Mountain Residence was dead, and Chu Zhixia would be very troublesome.

Shen Zhou was about to twist Pei Zhang's hand and smash the person to the ground, letting him know that there is a price for getting acquainted with people, when he heard Pei Zhang say slowly: "I know that you are not the young master of the Chu family. Keep your eldest lady, otherwise I am today and she tomorrow. ”

Shen Zhou's pupils were shocked, and he turned his head to look at Pei Zhang.

"Didn't she tell you?" Pei Zhang said with a smile, "I secretly drafted the "Ten Concertos for Military System Reform", and now many people want me to die. She also has a share in these ten notes, if they know about it......"

Chu Zhixia didn't tell Shen Zhou, she kept this matter a secret and didn't let the news go.

"She really cherishes you." Pei Zhang said with emotion.

I don't know if Shen Zhou's identity is an assassin raised by the Chu family or a secret guard, but he can walk freely, and he is respected and maintained by Chu Zhixia's personal maid. Chu Shixia never told the truth about the current situation, obviously not wanting the other party to risk himself.

The heart of love is clear.

"What are you talking about?" Chu Zhixia walked up to the two of them, but only looked at Pei Zhang.

Pei Zhang spread his hands and said extremely innocently: "I chatted speculatively with Shen Zhou Gongzi, and I just said a few more words about the customs of various places." Miss Chu is not afraid that Shen Zhou's son is simple-hearted and will be deceived and coaxed by me, right? ”

Shen Zhou practiced closed-mouth meditation, and when he didn't want to speak, he was a little mute. He had only known Pei Zhang for less than a day, and it was impossible for him to put his heart into him.

"Where is it, I can trust Pei Gongzi." Chu Zhixia smiled and raised his hand, in a "please" posture, "Your Majesty rewarded me with some dragon wells before the rain, is Pei Gongzi willing to appreciate his face?" ”

The tantrum man just stared at her and didn't speak.

The dissatisfaction is palpable.

——

A pot of good tea was boiled, and it began to rain outside the house.

"The sound of beating leaves through the forest, just this pot of good tea, is also beautiful in heaven." Pei Zhang took a sip of tea and praised.

"Pei Gongzi has something to say to me, there are thousands of ways, why do you need to work Your Majesty?" Chu Shixia splashed the boiling water under the stairs and said jokingly.

"Your Majesty is suspicious, I have to guard against it." Pei Zhang rolled up his sleeves and said with a long sigh, "When I was formulating the strategy, I had a very happy conversation with Miss Chu, and it was like a familiar thing at first sight. Only then did I want to borrow the eaves of the Autumn Leaves Mountain House to hide from the rain, and talk to Miss Chu by the way. ”

"Pei Gongzi, please have something to say." Chu Zhixia looked at him, his eyes were bright and sharp, "We are in the clouds, we don't seem to have a furrow in the chest, and we don't like these twists and turns." ”

"But when you tricked the Chen family into sending troops to the regent, you didn't look like you weren't good at it." Pei Zhang skimmed off the tea foam and smiled.

Chu Zhixia looked at him coldly and didn't speak.

"I was weird."

Pei Zhang sighed and said, "You are a hostage, no matter who is the emperor, it makes no difference to you whether the regent falls or not." These people in the court were all afraid of the strong soldiers of Beidi, so they pinched their noses and endured the Chu family for so many years, and they did not dare to completely let the Chu family become powerful. The best thing you can do is to stay out of the situation and don't set yourself on fire. ”

The more Chu Shixia was arrogant, the more unreasonable he became, and the more he pinched the handle in the hands of the courtiers, the more relieved they became. She should have drunk and dreamed of death in the imperial capital, living absurdly, and ruining the reputation of the Chu family in exchange for a respite.

"But you actually want to save the emperor." Pei Zhang smiled, his fingertips were slightly red from the hot teacup.

"Pei Gongzi said cautiously," Chu Shixia said coldly, "It is the duty of a courtier to save King Qin. ”

"Are you a minister of his Bai family?" Pei Zhang asked rhetorically, he said to himself, as if he couldn't see Chu Zhixia's condensed expression, "Miss Chu looked like she was like someone in the palace that you had to save." ”

At the time of the rebellion, everyone was weighing the pros and cons, and it seemed that Chu Zhixia looked like a reckless man.

"You are the king of Qin's rescue, it can also be interpreted as Your Majesty's reliance on the Chu family, if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, the Chu family's situation will be even more difficult, and you have to do it as a last resort."

"But, in the case of the theft of "Guanyin Dashi Tu", why did you stand out for the four princes? He, a prince whose biological mother doesn't know his name, can't even say a word in front of His Majesty, what are you plotting against him? ”

Pei Zhang raised the teacup, as if the cup was full of wine, "Why do you have to go into the palace to save him?" ”

Chu Zhixia picked up the tea and touched his cup, the steaming tea splashed Pei Zhang's hand, and the five people said, "Pei Gongzi is drunk with tea, right?" ”

Pei Zhang didn't move, and said with a smile: "You and I might as well be more honest." ”

"Aren't you afraid I'll let you die here?" Chu Zhixia looked up at the window, "As long as I remove the sinking boat, your life will not be guaranteed." At most, I will be complained by His Majesty, and I can't hurt my muscles or move my bones. ”

"You won't."
