Since he lowered Chu Yanwu's vigilance against himself in a self-denied way, he scavenged money by the way.

Xiao Chen can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, the money has been earned, and he is living safer than before.

Just as he crossed his calves, holding the account book in his hand, calculating the harvest of the past few days.

Xiang Yichun trotted over: "Lord Overseer, you have a clue about the investigation before!" ”

I had the help of an old man before, and secretly gave him a note.

If it weren't for the guidance of the note, maybe it wouldn't have been so smooth to deal with the Zhou family.

Xiao Chen has clear grievances, that person obviously has strength and opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but he chooses to hide his identity in secret to help him.

In addition to gratitude, the identity of that person is also really curious.

Xiao Chen threw the account book in his hand onto the table, just a look, and everyone else stepped aside with interest.

Soon, in the huge courtyard, only he and Xiang Yichun were left.

"Say."

"Lord Hui, after checking all the way through clues, I found that the person you are looking for may be an old eunuch who pours night incense."

"However, that old eunuch has a secret hidden in him, which seems to be related to the previous dynasty."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen's brows instantly frowned slightly, and his face was a little more rigorous.

"I want a more affirmative answer, it seems、Maybe such words, there is no point in saying them!"

Xiang Yichun hurriedly arched his hand, "Don't worry, Lord Overseer, about this person's affairs, his subordinates will definitely investigate the truth, and the genealogy will be found out for him!" ”

He knew that although Xiao Chen was usually a fool of himself and idle, he would tease women if he had nothing to do.

But seriously, he is not a soft persimmon that is easy to handle.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, this is the disguise wrapped around him.

"That's pretty much it." Xiao Chen threw a grape into his mouth.

The tense atmosphere eased a lot in an instant.

Xiang Yichun silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at Xiao Chen carefully.

He is really inscrutable, as if there are thousands of faces waiting to be discovered, but none of them are real.

Xiao Chen squinted, like a knife cutting off Xiang Yichun's peeping sight.

He reminded by the way: "You remember, don't leak the news about the investigation." ”

His current identity and situation, any move that is slightly different from his personality in front of Chu Yanwu will probably bring him more trouble.

Xiang Yichun comprehended, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Obey!" ”

He turned and strode away.

Xiao Chen lifted a bunch of grapes, had nothing to do, and wandered around the yard.

The sky was thousands of miles away, and it seemed to be close at hand, and the calm white clouds, blowing in a gust of wind, began to roll without stopping.

They can always change their position silently, as if they were juggling.

Xiao Chen sighed heavily, "The wind and clouds are changing, mysterious and unpredictable, a new round of competition, the Lord is about to kick off......"

The only thing that made him depressed was that Zhou Tianfu, the old chicken thief, where did he hide to survive?

Since receiving Chu Yanwu's task, he sent people from Dongchang to search around, but in the past few days, there has been no result at all.

If this continues, the old emperor must not doubt his ability to do things?

When a person of bad character loses his usefulness, I am afraid that he will become a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of others.

In this palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, he must be cautious and cautious!

……

Within the territory of Qi State.

In a delicate and quaint courtyard, the sycamore is full of courtyards, and the wind blows the leaves and rustles.

On the small stone table under the tree, three people sit on the side, and the wine on the table is fragrant.

If Xiao Chen sat at the last empty seat at the square table, he would be able to recognize the two most familiar people in front of him at a glance: Zhou Tianfu and his son Zhou Ji!

The fluid accumulated in the house and was destroyed, and the father and son escaped death and fled from the Great Chu State to the territory of Daqi.

After hardships, wind and rain and depression, the two of them looked a little haggard.

"Fourth prince, this time it is thanks to you to do your best to rescue us and cover for us, otherwise we would have been caught by that emperor and Xiao Chen a long time ago!"

When Xiao Chen was mentioned, he was even more resentful and disgusted than Chu Yanwu, who ordered him to kill him.

If it weren't for him, he would still be the prime minister of the dynasty who called for wind and rain, and above ten thousand.

How could he have nothing with his son and be so embarrassed to think about the land of another country?

Such a sigh of emotion is extremely embarrassing.

The fourth prince raised his glass: "Alas, what are you doing without thanks?" ”

"Although Da Chu and Qi are not good friends with each other, you and I are each other's confidants, and it is really a bit bad to steal."

"Come, time is in a hurry, first use a glass of turbid wine for the two of you to wash the dust!"

Qi Tianlei drank it all, full of heroic feelings.

After a glass of hot wine, Qi Tianlei looked at them and said some polite greetings first.

Don't look at what he said so nicely, the two countries have always been hostile, what friends and confidants are nothing more than polite words based on mutual use!

He already knows what happened to Zhou Tianfu's father and son.

"The Emperor of Great Chu is not close to people, and he wants to kill you all and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, but we are very welcome to the two of us."

"After drinking this glass of wine, as long as you are willing, you will be our Daqi people in the future, and this prince will personally cover you!"

"Of course, with the abilities of the two of them, they will definitely be reused in my Daqi!"

Well, this impassioned speech made the blood of those who listened to it boil.

Zhou Ji's eyes were full of stars, as if he had seen a benefactor, and it was difficult to control his emotions, "Thank you for the appreciation of the four princes, we will definitely do our best!" ”

Zhou Tianfu glared at him.

Let's boy, if people say two nice words, you're here to pat yourself on the back and be courteous?

Qi Tianlei was quite satisfied with this Zhou Ji who was on the way, and said a few words of praise against his will.

Zhou Tianfu suddenly smiled, with a little caution, and asked tentatively: "It is indeed an honor for my father and son to be favored by the four princes. ”

"That Chu Yanwu and Xiao Chen are enemies with us, no matter what, we all want to take revenge. It's just ......"

As soon as he spoke, his cold gaze fell on the four princes, and he had a little more scrutiny and speculation: "Your great country must be full of talents." ”

"My father and son have both lost power, one old and one young, and now they are alone, and I don't know if I can get into the eyes of the Emperor of Great Qi."

Qi Guo has always thrown an olive branch to the Zhou family before, but because of the national border issue, Zhou Tianfu has always stayed away.

And at that time, a large part of the reason why Qi wanted to befriend him was also to value his influence in Chu and his prestige in the court!

But now that I am so down, I may not be able to get what I want......
