Qingqing was a little uncomfortable by him, her cheeks were slightly red, and she said angrily:

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Zhao Rang laughed, and finally opened his mouth to reveal the answer:

"My plan is to treat others the way they do."

Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and then understood:

"Are you trying to say that we also use assassins to deal with the three princes?"

Zhao Rang shook his head:

"What the third prince wants is nothing more than to fight for a few opportunities for the forces belonging to him to participate in the Spring Festival Night Banquet, I, a flat-headed commoner, how can I fight with His Royal Highness the Prince? The tone repeatedly asked him to come to me for trouble, it is better for me to give him the rest of the jade pendant! ”

Qingqing heard this, but she strongly disagreed:

"Zhao Rang, it must not be like this!"

"Aren't you offending the two princes at once by doing this?"

Zhao Rang spread his hands and said disapprerovingly:

"Then there's only one way left."

Qingqing asked with some suspicion:

"What's the solution?"

Zhao Rang replied:

"I told Yuan Mingkong directly, this matter can't be done, because there are too many people who want to kill me, including your third brother. There are so many nobles and nobles in the imperial city, and there are big families, I have only one person, a knife, even if I can fight, it is difficult for two fists to reach four hands. ”

Such a discussion was not destined to last long, and it was not long before the two of them stopped talking.

Then, they got up very tacitly and returned to their respective rooms to sleep.

On the second day, Zhao Rang woke up very early.

It wasn't the sun that woke him up, nor the knock at the door, but the sound of reading aloud.

It made him in a trance.

After being stunned, he remembered that he was in Yangsaki Academy, the highest university in the northern part of Dawei that had been run by the Yang family for generations, and it was also Qingqing's home, and his father was still the contemporary head of the Yang family, Yang Wenyuan.

Zhao Rang got up from the bed and pushed open the window, the morning breeze brought a little coolness and the fragrance of books to his face.

Looking out the window, I saw a group of students concentrating on reciting classics in the courtyard.

After tidying up his clothes, he pushed the door open, followed the sound of reading aloud, and came to a spacious and bright hall of the academy.

At this time, Yang Wenyuan was already sitting at the table, holding a scroll in one hand and caressing his beard with the other, his eyes full of relief and pride.

Seeing Zhao Rang coming, Yang Wenyuan put down the scroll and beckoned him to sit down with a smile.

"Zhao Gongzi, did you rest well last night?" Yang Wenyuan asked with concern.

Zhao Rang nodded and replied respectfully:

"Thank you Yang seniors for your concern, the juniors sleep well."

Soon, Qingqing was late.

After the three of them had breakfast, Qingqing called a carriage and sent Zhao Rang to the gate of Yangsaki Academy.

"Okay, don't send it! This is also considered to have been recognized. ”

Zhao Rang waved his hand and said.

"What, it's just a door?"

Qingqing said dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Rang said with a smile:

"Who would have thought that you were Yang Wenyuan's daughter!"

Qingqing pursed the corners of her mouth, not knowing if Zhao Rang was blaming her or simply surprised.

"Zhao Rang, what my father said, you don't have to bother with it. He ......"

Seeing that Qingqing was mentioning it again, Zhao Rang was the most annoying to talk about it, so he hurriedly interrupted and said:

"We are friends, I just met your father, and I naturally don't think much about what he says. But if you ask......

Zhao Rang dragged out the last note.

Qingqing suddenly said:

"I'm not going to ask."

Then he quietly added in his heart: At least not now......

Hearing this, Zhao Rang didn't say anything, but patted Qingqing's shoulder like a brother, and then jumped into the carriage and headed towards the Zhao family's courtyard.

In the other courtyard, Ximen Dazhuang was already impatiently waiting, but he didn't know where Zhao Rang went.

However, he blocked Fubo's face, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he could only sit alone in the yard, holding his arms and blowing the cold wind, in a hurry.

"Brother Jean, where have you been?"

Before Zhao Rang left, he had arranged for Ximen Dazhuang to transfer twenty or thirty good players from the business of his Ximen family's imperial city.

The Ximen family, as the richest man in the northern part of Dawei, is extremely comfortable even in the imperial city.

As the only son of the Ximen family's generation, Ximen Dazhuang touched his mouth up and down, and countless people rushed to do things for him.

"Haha, I went to a place where we wouldn't have gone in our lives if someone hadn't invited me."

Zhao Rang said with some emotion.

"Where did Qingqing take you?"

Simon Dazhuang asked.

Zhao Rang asked suspiciously:

"How do you know it's Qingqing?"

Simon replied with a pout:

"Isn't that easy? You will only go if she asks you to go where you won't go! ”

It sounds like a tongue twister, but when you think about it, it's true.

"Yozaki Academy!"

Zhao Rang said.

"Brother Jean, why will Qingqing invite you here!"

Simon Dazhuang asked in surprise.

"Guess what? Since you can guess that Qingqing invited me to go, then guess why she invited me to go! ”

It's a pity that this time Ximen Dazhuang didn't have the agility of the last time, and he didn't figure out why Qingqing took Zhao Rang to Yangsaki Academy when he wanted to break his head.

"Because Qingqing's surname is Yang."

"Yangsaki Academy, Yang of the Yang family."

"His father is the Yang Wenyuan, who is known as the first genius in the world and a half-saint of Wendao."

When Simon Dazhuang heard this, he stood on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Let's ...... Brother Jean, you mean, Qingqing is ...... Is it Yang Wenyuan's daughter? ”

Simon swallowed with difficulty, his voice trembling a little......

Zhao Rang looked at Ximen Dazhuang's reaction and couldn't help laughing.

"Look at your little bit of interest!"

"What happened to Yang Wenyuan's daughter? Aren't you still your friends? What's more, you are still the second richest person in the world! ”

Simon Da Zhuang said with a bitter face:

"Brother Jean, can being rich and educated be the same?"

"Of course it's different!"

"Do you want to be rich or educated?"

Simon Da Zhuang thought for a while and said:

"It's still rich...... That's right, there is money! ”

Zhao Rang restrained his smile and said:

"Da Zhuang, Qingqing's identity, you just know it, don't make a public announcement."

Simon Da Zhuang nodded again and again:

"Brother Jean, don't worry, I still understand this truth."

Zhao Rang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:

"How's it going with what I've asked you to do?"

Ximen Da Zhuang patted his chest and said proudly:

"Brother Jean, how can I not care about the things you explained?"

"The people have been selected for you, they are all good hands of the Ximen family in the business of the imperial city, and they are all good men who are good men with one as ten!"

When Zhao Rang heard this, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Although Simon Dazhuang is usually very arrogant, he is never ambiguous in getting things done.

Although this matter is a little difficult for him, since Ximen Dazhuang has already undertaken, he will definitely be able to do it.

"Okay, Da Zhuang, thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Rang patted Simon Da Zhuang's shoulder.

"When this is done, I'll invite you to drink."

Simon Dazhuang's eyes lit up, and he smiled:

"Brother Jean, you have to count when you speak!"

Zhao Rang first divided the people selected by Ximen Dazhuang into ten teams in groups of three, and then took out a jade pendant, handed it to one of the teams, and ordered them to go to Yangqi Academy, and must ensure that the jade pendant was handed over to Qingqing or Yang Wenyuan in person.

If you encounter something on the way, then don't hesitate to smash the jade pendant immediately!

At that time, when the seventh prince Yuan Mingkong handed over the six jade pendants to Zhao Rang, Ximen Dazhuang was also present, knowing that these six jade pendants represented not only the qualifications to participate in the Spring Festival banquet, but also a symbol of royal friendship.

Rather than fall into the hands of someone who doesn't fit in, it's better to destroy it altogether!

But such a decision is not something that ordinary people can make.

Although Ximen Dazhuang has endless money, he also greatly admires Zhao Rang's courage and determination.

"Then, Brother Jean, we still have five jade pendants left, who should we give them to?"

Zhao Rang sniffled and asked:

"Do you smell a smell?"

Simon Da Zhuang sucked a few times, shook his head and said:

"Brother Jean, I didn't smell anything."

Zhao Rang closed his eyes, and the old god said:

"It's the smell of horse manure. To be precise, it was melt water from snow and ice, mixed with horse manure, and a little bit of hay. ”

Simon Dazhuang was more and more surprised.

Why do you think my brother went to the academy and came back to speak clearly?

It seems that there is really no way to go to that place......

Ximen Dazhuang felt that those students who shook their heads and read were not normal people...... Can a normal person swing like that? It's okay for a while, but after a few hours, the neck can't be turned?

It's just that those people who read don't have any, which Simon Dazhuang thinks is terrible when he thinks about it!

"Brother Jean, just say it directly! Don't be a reader, I'm afraid that one day you will start to suddenly turn your neck, and then twist your head......"

Simon Dazhuang's worries were real.

He always said what he wanted.

When Zhao Rang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded:

"You guy, you can't spit ivory out of your mouth!"

"Our old friend from the Western Regions is here! Also riding a horse from his own horse farm. ”

The friends of the Western Regions are nothing more than the people of the Western Regions who I knew at the beginning.

The only people in the Western Regions who sit on the horse farm are the swordsmen of the Western Regions, the green shirts, and Hediye.

His horse farm is the sunset horse farm that makes people thunder in Daweidu!

Immediately, Zhao Rang informed Ximen Dazhuang of the situation of the three princes and the people of the Western Regions.

Simon Dazhuang's face was gloomy:

"So, our old friend is about to become an enemy?"

Zhao Rang did not answer.

Enemies and friends are in the same thought.

But whatever Hediye's current position is, Zhao Rang is ready to meet him.

If it was he who colluded with the three princes and sat down on those things, it would be better!

Instead of dealing with an enemy who doesn't understand, it is better to deal with an enemy who was once a friend.

At least it won't be clueless and at a loss.

"Brother Jean, I'll go with you!"

Simon Dazhuang said.

Zhao Rang shook his head:

"No, I'll just go alone. Stay at home, and if I don't come back after dark, you will bring someone to meet me outside the city. ”

Ximen Dazhuang knew Zhao Rang's temper, and it was difficult to change what he decided.

Besides, Zhao Rang's ability, Ximen Dazhuang couldn't be clearer.

Today, there are not many people who can keep him.

"Then be careful."

Simon Dazhuang admonished.

Zhao Rang smiled, didn't speak, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

He didn't go directly to Hediyer, but wandered around the city first.

He needed to make sure that he wasn't being followed.

Since the third prince already knew where he lived, it was inevitable that he would not send someone to spy on him.

However, after shopping for most of the day, Zhao Rang did not find anything suspicious.

It seems that although the third prince wants to deal with him, he has not yet reached the point of unscrupulous means.

In other words, the third prince has not taken him seriously, thinking that he can't make any big waves.

That's fine, at least Zhao Rang's actions are free now.

He went to a tavern, asked for a jug of wine, and poured himself a drink.

The tavern was full of people and discussions.

It's all about the recent hot topic in the imperial city - the Spring Festival Night Banquet.

"Have you heard, the list of participants in this year's Spring Festival Banquet has come out!"

"Cut, what kind of news is this, the list has already come out!"

"I'm talking about the final list!"

"The final list? How is that possible, there are still more than ten days before the Spring Festival Banquet, how can there be a final list now? ”

"Believe it or not, I've got the news anyway."

"Oh? Let's talk about it, who are on the list? ”

"Well...... I can't just say it. ”

"Cut, so it's mysterious!"

Zhao Rang listened to the surrounding discussions, and his heart moved.

He wasn't interested in the final list, but in the guy who said he had gotten the news.

The jade pendant is still in his hands, and the final list must be fake.

But those who dare to openly say this are either bragging about it, or someone instructed it and did it deliberately.

Zhao Rang decided to give this person a try.

He took his glass, walked up to the man, and said with a smile:

"This brother, meeting is fate, I toast you."

The man glanced at Zhao Rang, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he still took the wine glass and drank it all.

"Thank you."

Zhao Rang poured the man another glass of wine, and then asked:

"Brother just said that he has gotten the news of the final list, I wonder if you can reveal a thing or two?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then said:

"This news is not easy to come by, and I can't disclose it casually."

Zhao Rang smiled and said:

"I understand. However, since the brother can get the news in advance, he must be a person with a way. I wonder if my brother can do me a favor? ”

The man looked at Zhao Rang and did not speak.

Zhao Rang said in a low voice:

"I'm willing to pay a premium for this news."

A look of greed flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly disguised it.

He shook his head and said:

"It's not about the money. The stakes are high, and if it leaks out, it will cause an uproar. ”

Zhao Rang's heart moved, this person is definitely not rootless duckweed, and he must be involved with a force in the imperial city.

He smiled and said:

"Don't worry, brother, I promise it won't leak out. I'm just wondering the names of some interested people. ”

The man was silent for a moment, then said:

"Unless you can come up with something that makes me feel good in exchange."

Zhao Rang was overjoyed, and the fish finally took the bait.

He took a gold ingot out of his bosom, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of the man.

"I wonder if this thing can make my brother's heart move?"

The moment the man saw the jade pendant, his eyes lit up.

He picked up the gold and looked at it carefully, then looked up at Zhao Rang and asked:

"Is this pure gold?"

Zhao Rang nodded.

"That's right."

The man took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

He looked around and whispered:

"This is not the place to talk. You come with me. ”

With that, he got up and walked out of the tavern.

Zhao Rang followed behind him, secretly vigilant in his heart.

He didn't know who this man was, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.

But he is confident that he can handle any unforeseen situation.

The two walked out of the tavern one after the other and came to a remote alley.

The man stopped, turned to look at Zhao Rang, and said:

"Now it's talkative. Whose name do you want to know? ”

Zhao Rang smiled and said:

"I want to know the names of all the warriors who participated in the Spring Festival Night Banquet."

The man was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said:

"You have a lot of appetite! The names of the warriors are a secret within a secret, and no one knows the complete list except for the royal family and the organizers. ”

赵力 says:

"I know it's hard. But I only want to know the names of some of them. Like what...... A warrior from the Western Regions. ”

A look of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, then he took a deep breath and said:

"You're really not an ordinary person."

Zhao Rang smiled and did not speak.

The man continued:

"I can tell you the name of the warrior from the Western Regions, but you must give me one more thing in exchange."

Zhao Rang nodded and said, "Yes." ”

So saying, he took out another gold ingot from his bosom and placed it in the man's hand.

"This is the last one. If you want more, you'll have to wait until you have the chance. ”

The man looked at the two fast gold ingots in his hand, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down.

"Good. I believe you once. Among the warriors from the Western Regions, there is one person you must be interested in. ”

"Who?"

"Swordsmen of the Western Regions, Tsing Yi Ke, Hydiye!"

"Anyone else?"

Zhao Rang asked.

The man shook his head:

"No more. Among the warriors from the Western Regions, he was the only one who was qualified to participate in the Spring Festival Night Banquet. ”

Zhao Rang nodded:

"Thank you."

After saying that, he turned around and left. It's clean and clean, and it's not muddy.

"Wait!"

The man shouted suddenly.

Zhao Rang stopped and looked back, only to find that the man was already sitting on the ground, his face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

"You...... Who are you? ”

The man asked in a trembling voice.

Zhao Rang smiled and didn't speak, turned around and disappeared into the alley.

Zhao Rang's figure disappeared at the end of the alley, leaving the man sitting alone on the ground, his heart full of horror and doubt.

He didn't understand why Zhao Rang could make him feel so uneasy just by simply asking a few questions?

From Zhao Rang's body, he felt an indescribable aura.

It is the sharpness and calmness that can only be sharpened after experiencing countless life and death edges.

Zhao Rang walked out of the alley and came to the bustling street.

Zhao Rang's footsteps seemed particularly light on the bustling streets, but his heart was repeatedly thinking about the information he had just gotten.

Heydiyah, the name echoed in his head.

Behind this name, it represents not only a sword hero of the Western Regions, but also a key figure who may change the situation in the imperial city.

The shops on both sides of the street were bustling, and all kinds of cries came and went, but Zhao Rang's mind was not on this at all.

A middle-aged man in a gray robe is walking out of an antique shop.

Zhao Rang's heart moved, this he had seen in the archives of the General Building of the Investigation Division, it was the famous intelligence dealer in the imperial city-Xiao Clever Spirit.

At that time, Zhang Zong saw that Zhao Rang was interested in this person, and specially introduced that the little ghost had a wide range of contacts in the imperial city, whether it was the secret of the imperial court or the rumors of the rivers and lakes, he could get the news as soon as possible.

Zhao Rang stepped forward quickly, and said to the little wit with a smile:

"Little clever brother, what a coincidence."

The little ghost heard someone call him, stopped, and turned around.

When he saw that it was Zhao Rang, he didn't hesitate, immediately got up, pulled his legs and ran!

Seeing this, Zhao Rang frowned, he didn't expect the little ghost to react like this.

There must be some important news about this intelligence monger, and this news may have something to do with him!

Zhao Rang's figure flickered, and he also mustered up his strength and chased after him.

The little ghost shuttled through the crowd, and his movements were extremely flexible, but Zhao Rang's body was even better, but in a moment, Zhao Rang had already chased behind the little ghost.

"Little Ghost, what are you running?"

Zhao Rang's voice sounded in the ears of the little clever spirit.

The little ghost stopped and turned around, the panic on his face still not completely dissipated.

He looked at Zhao Rang and said with a flattering face:

"Zhao Gongzi, what do you mean? I'm just taking a walk. ”

Zhao Rang said coldly:

"The first time we met, you knew who I was, so you still need to ask me what I mean?"

When the little wit heard this, he still said with a grin:

"The first time we met, you called me the right name, and I called you right, so we don't owe each other anything, say goodbye!"

Although Zhao Rang is famous, he is confident that he will not lose to anyone in terms of physical skills.

He kicked under his feet, and his body was like an arrow from the string, instantly widening the distance between him and Zhao Rang.

Seeing this, Zhao Rang's brows tightened, he didn't expect the little clever figure to be so good.

Take a deep breath and move with a lot of energy, and the pace of your feet increases sharply.

The little clever man was familiar with the flow of people, and although Zhao Rang chased after him, the distance between the two was never significantly shortened.

The little clever spirit was secretly proud in his heart,

As he ran, he glanced back at Zhao Rang defiantly, as if to say, "You can't catch up with me." ”

Zhao Rang suddenly changed direction, no longer chasing in a straight line, but jumped onto the roof, trying to intercept the little ghost from the air.

Suddenly, the little ghost felt a powerful aura coming from behind, and when he looked back, he saw that Zhao Rang's hand had a long knife flashing with black light, and the tip of the knife was pointed directly at his back.

The little clever spirit tightened his heart, knowing that Zhao Rang had already moved his true character, and he didn't dare to have any reservations, so he exerted all his strength, trying to get rid of Zhao Rang's pursuit.

Zhao Rang saw that the speed of the little clever increased again, and the strength immediately continued to inject into the blade.

The sword aura was fierce, as if it was about to tear the sky apart.

In the end, the little ghost was forced to stop.

He turned around, faced Zhao Rang, gasped and said, "Zhao Gongzi, why are you so troubled?" I'm just a little person, and I don't deserve to be chased by you like this......"

Zhao Rang smiled faintly, put away the black steel knife, and said calmly:

"Little Ghost, I know you have the news I want. If you are willing to cooperate, you will not suffer. ”
