After the two met, Xiao Chen waited for the news, and he didn't need to take action directly in the next matter.

Because Xiao Chen can be sure that this is the only way Zhang Dongyang can go.

In the afternoon, Wei Yun trotted in all the way, with a touch of joy on his face.

Xiao Chen closed the official document he was reading and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Overseer" Wei Yun stepped forward and lowered his voice, "My subordinates have learned that after meeting you, Zhang Dongyang will enter the palace immediately. ”

"According to the method you said, he came up with a delaying plan, saying that he was not familiar with everything when he first came to the capital, and hoped that His Majesty would allow Chen Yunqi to stay for a few more days and help him."

"What did Your Majesty say?" Xiao Chen frowned slightly.

Now it only depends on whether the emperor can agree, which is a matter of the overall situation.

Wei Yunxi said: "Your Majesty agreed." ”

"As soon as Zhang Dongyang left, His Majesty called Zhou Tianfu and told him about it."

"At this moment, Zhou Tianfu is angry in the house!"

"Hehe" Xiao Chen smiled, "This old horseman should also taste the taste of deflated." He didn't have to go through it in one go, or he wouldn't have fun. ”

"Don't worry, the old man is hard-boned, and he will definitely give us a good time."

Xiao Chen nodded, comfortably relaxed, "Old man Zhou, all this has just begun." ”

"Now Ben Governor will let you do what you have."

Zhou Mansion, the courtyard is deep, in a secret study in the forest, Zhou Tianfu is pacing back and forth with a sad face.

Several of his subordinate officials stood aside, not daring to say a word.

"This Dongyang is so ignorant" Zhou Tianfu slapped the table dissatisfied, "The prime minister promoted him from a remote place, and he didn't dare to take the ceremony, so he rashly went to ask to see the emperor!" ”

"Guys, what do you think is the trick in this?"

He still vaguely felt that something was wrong, especially, why did the emperor agree to keep Chen Yunqi?

Could it be that you are determined to investigate thoroughly?

An official next to him whispered: "Xiangye, I think, maybe it's just that Zhang Dongyang himself doesn't know how to lift, after all, his stubborn appearance is already well-known among local officials." ”

The other person was also relieved: "Yes, Xiangye, Zhang Dongyang, a foreign official who is far away in the frontier, how can he know about these secret things in the capital?" He doesn't have the ability to detect anything at all, it's probably just that he is pedantic and doesn't know how to be flexible. ”

Zhou Tianfu sighed, still feeling that something didn't make sense.

It seems that in this game, I missed something.

But what is it?

Everything that lay in front of him was already clear to him, unless there was something extremely important that had been hidden in a place he couldn't see.

……

Xiao Chen came to Ruixiang Palace, where the Nine Emperor Princes lived, and heard the palace people say that "His Royal Highness the Nine is riding the shooting range in the backyard", so Xiao Chen followed the sound and looked for it.

As he walked outside the spacious riding range, he suddenly heard a very miserable muffled snort from it.

Immediately after, two little eunuchs walked out carrying the corpse of a palace maid with an arrow hilt hanging from her forehead.

"Xiao, Lord Xiao!"

When the two little eunuchs saw Xiao Chen, they were immediately frightened.

Xiao Chen glanced at the palace maid, his eyebrows tightened, "What's the matter?" ”

The two little eunuchs suddenly knelt on the ground in fright, and one of them said tremblingly: "Yes, she was stupid and didn't stand well." ”

"Didn't stand well?" Xiao Chen's cold eyes had already narrowed, "You mean, she fell on the arrow herself?" ”

Look at the blood around the wound on the palace maid's forehead, which is clearly caused by a flying arrow in the distance.

While Xiao Chen was interrogating, suddenly, there was a sound of cracking wind in his ears, and a flying arrow came straight towards Xiao Chen's eyes.

Xiao Chen's cold eyes froze, his body quickly dodged, and he raised his hand to firmly grasp the arrow in his hand.

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and the Nine Emperors were dressed in a red brocade robe, but the little man who was seven or eight years old had a fierce and murderous aura in his eyes.

"Appeal ......"

The Nine Emperor Prince stopped holding his foal, with a proud face, and said with indifference to human life, "If you die, you die, what is there to be verbose?" ”

"You little eunuch really doesn't know whether to live or die, and you want to come to take the wrong place in this hall!"

Xiao Chen hurriedly threw the arrow in his hand, and Shi Lidui smiled: "Your Highness misunderstood, I am a slave with a broken mouth, just ask a few more words." ”

"Slave Xiao Chen, newly sent by His Majesty, has met His Highness."

"Hmph" A trace of cold snort overflowed from the Little Nose of the Nine Emperor Princes, and he didn't look at Xiao Chen, but said leisurely: "It turned out to be you." Since you're going to teach the main hall, that's good, the main hall wants to practice archery now. ”

"It just so happens that the main hall sees that your archery skills are also good, so you can just stand there!"

Xiao Chen frowned, thinking that this bear child was really ruthless.

He turned around and looked into the shooting range, not far away, there were several young palace maids in the mood for flowers tied side by side on the wooden stakes, each of them had an apple on their heads, and a layer of cold sweat was already scared on their backs.

With the straw bale archery technique of the Nine Emperor Princes, it is strange that he can shoot it?

Naturally, the person who is targeted will only die.

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly had some doubts, "Huh?" "Yes.

"What's wrong?" The Nine Emperor Princes were attracted by his reaction, and couldn't help asking, "You little eunuch don't say begging for mercy, what are you talking about here?" ”

Xiao Chen frowned, looked inside the shooting range, and then shook his head again, pretending to be mysterious: "That's it, let's not talk about it." ”

"Whatever His Highness asks the slave to do, the slave will do, this is the duty of a slave."

After speaking, Xiao Chen walked to the shooting range by himself.

The curiosity of the Nine Emperor Princes had been aroused by him, and he couldn't help but shout angrily, "You stop me!" ”

"Did the main temple let you go? You little eunuch is so arrogant! ”

"Don't think that if you were sent by your father, I won't dare to do anything to you? Even Old Man Cen could only bow down in front of the prince. ”

Xiao Chen turned around innocently and blessed his hand pitifully, "Your Highness, the slave doesn't dare to be arrogant, this ...... Didn't you say, let the minions be the targets? ”

"You!" The Nine Emperor Princes were choked and said fiercely, "You make it clear to the main hall first, what did you just say?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing" Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and he scratched his head, "It's just that the slave thought that with His Highness's intelligence, he should be able to play something more fun, but I didn't expect you to just shoot arrows." ”

"What's more fun than archery?" A flash of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes, "Are you talking nonsense?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "Naturally, it's not nonsense, the minions know one right now." ”

"If His Royal Highness wants to take a look, you can give Weichen some paper, pen and ink, and Weichen will show it to His Highness."

"Hmph" The Nine Emperor Princes raised his head slightly, almost looking at Xiao Chen with his chin, "I want to see what you are capable of as a eunuch." ”

"Someone, bring him something."

"However, if you dare to deceive this hall, Xiao Chen, you will die."

Xiao Chen hurriedly bowed down and smiled, "Don't dare, Your Highness Bao is satisfied." ”

Xiao Chen followed the Nine Emperors all the way to a pavilion for rest on the edge of the riding range, and after a short time, he drew a few paintings for him.

Syllable!

With a wave of his big hand, Xiao Chen slapped a few colorful pictures on the table in front of him.

"What is this?"

The Nine Emperors looked down...... Suddenly, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes!
