"Come, to celebrate the meeting between you and me, why don't you have a drink with me?"

Raising his wine glass, Zhang Sohao faced Hou Jue, who looked uncertain, and did not hide his disdain in his eyes.

"Nope."

Hou Jue shook his head and said calmly: "Recently, I have been practicing martial arts, and I can't drink. ”

Zhang Sohao sneered in his heart, he knew that Hou Jue must be unhappy with him, but what was the use of his struggle? If he says a word to himself, doesn't he still have to drink it when he deserves it?

"Brother Hou, what do you mean when you come to the banquet and don't drink?"

A cold color flashed on his face, for Zhang Sohao, although he was not even a fart among the third-grade officials, he didn't even have much control over the dragon and tiger spirit. But his identity determines that he can act recklessly in the small broken place of Beiliang.

You don't drink? If you don't drink, you don't give me face, and if you don't give me face, you don't give face to the governor.

"Ahh

Hearing this, Hou Jue suddenly sneered, he raised his head, and said sincerely: "I'm afraid that you will drink too much tonight and go out and be hit by a dog and die, so I won't drink it, and I will protect you when the time comes." Otherwise, I'm afraid that it would be ridiculous for the dignified governor to be hit and killed by a dog, and it would be a shame to be erected a monument in the future. ”

"You!"

Zhang Suohao was suddenly angry, he was just about to open his mouth to reprimand Hou Jue for being bold, but suddenly found that Hou Jue had no fear, and he did not have the regret and panic of insulting his boss.

Well?

Zhang Sohao's heart suddenly sank, he didn't believe that a person could be so calm after so blatantly insulting his boss.

Could it be him?

If Zhang Sohao has any scruples in Beiliang this time, it is only one person.

King of Han, Zhu Gaoxi.

Many people in the world are afraid of Zhang Sohao because his sister is the queen. And Empress Zhang, afraid of King Han.

But...

There was some confusion in his mind, and Zhang Sohao's original indomitable momentum suddenly weakened. He could see that Hou Jue was not only not afraid of facing him, but even vaguely mocking.

It's not normal, it's not normal at all. No matter how bad his reputation is, he is also a third-grade governor, and his sister Queen Zhang is even more terrifying. This Hou Jue insulted himself so much, and he was so calm and calm, this is absolutely abnormal.

Is he a pawn of the Han King?

Zhang Suohao secretly figured out in his heart, so he didn't dare to attack, but held back his anger and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, Brother Hou doesn't have to drink, let's eat vegetables, eat vegetables." ”

"Okay, you eat more, and the whole chaff."

Hou Jue is now a broken jar, anyway, Zhou Li said that there was a way to keep him from dying, he believed it anyway, so he just disgusted the governor.

After that, Hou Jue didn't care about his image at all, stepped on the stool directly, hugged his robe with a big grin, and began to eat the meal at will.

And at this moment, Zhang Suohao was keenly aware of the light blue long spike of gold-inlaid jade worn by Hou Jue's waist. Suddenly, Zhang Sohao's heart trembled, and the original conjecture was directly confirmed.

"Good~~~"

Gritting his teeth and picking up his chopsticks, Zhang Suohao was ostensibly looking at the dishes, but he was actually looking at Hou Jue in front of him. Because Hou Jue's status was low and he had nothing to do with this matter, Zhang Sohao did not pay attention to the other party when he investigated.

Now it seems that King Han also got the news in advance.

Zhang Sohao knew that what he was looking for was not only incriminating evidence, but also clues about Jianwen's orphans. He knew in his heart that Emperor Taizong died of illness and Hong Xi was seriously ill, and the King of Han was not as loyal as he is now. If it weren't for that immortal's action to remove the lesions on Emperor Hongxi's body, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty would have to experience another battle of Jingjing.

No, no matter what, this bead cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the King of Han.

Just when Zhang Suohao was secretly looking at it in his heart, Hou Jue also took a few bites, and after a while, he raised his head and asked curiously, "What?" Can't get used to eating fine bran? Shall I get you some swill in the back kitchen? ”

"Hou Jue, don't deceive people too much!"

Zhang Suohao was suddenly shocked, and said angrily: "I'll give you a few thin noodles, that's for His Royal Highness the King of Han." You are a little too deceitful now, let me tell you, my sister Empress Zhang! ”

"King Han?"

Hou Jue was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "No, what does it have to do with King Han when we are arguing here?" ”

Zhang Sohao was directly laughed angrily, he looked at Hou Jue's face full of sincerity, and was a little speechless for a while. After a short silence, Zhang Sohao sneered and said:

"I see."

Before Hou Jue could speak, suddenly, a white light flashed around him. In the next second, Hou Jue fell to the ground on his stomach, unconscious.

"Why did you suddenly let me do it?"

The Dead Man Dao slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Sohao, who made a gesture, and asked puzzledly, "Isn't he a person from King Han?" ”

"Yes."

He nodded, and shook his head again. Zhang Sohao walked to the unconscious Hou Jue, stretched out his hand, and ripped off the jade pendant. Looking at the delicate golden lance and jade pendant, as well as the wisp of blue spike belt with rough workmanship, Zhang Suohao squinted his eyes and looked at it for a moment, and then said slowly:

"But it's not."

"I don't understand."

"If you don't understand, study hard."

With a snort, Zhang Suohao showed the jade pendant to the dead man's knife, shook the long blue spike, and said: "The people of the Han King will wear a golden lance and jade pendant, which is indeed true. But have you ever seen the jade pendant of the Han Dynasty, has there been such a cheap tassel? ”

The dead man knife was stunned for a moment, and then said bluntly: "I don't know, I died once, and half of my brain is paste." ”

"Stupid."

Zhang Sohao scolded angrily and said:

"This Hou Jue is obviously a spy that the King of Han found casually, and he got him to Beiliang to be a hundred households, and then gave him a jade pendant that was not worthy of the golden spike, just to dissociate himself from him at any time."

"Even if Hou Jue secretly investigates Jianwen's orphan and is discovered, King Han will directly say that this jade pendant was stolen by Hou Jue to act as a façade, and it has nothing to do with King Han, understand?"

After calming down, Zhang Sohao glanced at Hou Jue, who was on his back, and said slowly:

"It seems that King Han is only suspicious of the Xie family, and does not have accurate information like me. But what I have to do next must not be detected by the King of Han, so this person cannot be killed or released. ”

"Kill, if King Han doesn't receive the news, he will think of me, and things will be in trouble. Let go, today's incident has happened, and you can't let him go.

"What then?"

Faced with the doubts of the dead man's knife, Zhang Sohao was silent for a moment, and then thought of a good solution.

"Send it to the barracks of the Imperial Guards, and I will interrogate it myself tomorrow."

Reaching out and touching it, a talisman, a jade pendant and a note appeared in Zhang Sohao's hand. After reading the contents of the note, Zhang Sohao threw the object to the dead man's knife and said:

"Follow this flying pigeon number every day to deliver a six-word message at the end of the day."

The Dead Man's Knife understands that this flying pigeon should be the way to contact King Han, and the time is the time when Zhang Sohao cracked it. He took the pigeon and glanced at it.

"Everywhere?"

He raised his head and said with some surprise: "Lord Zhang, the flying pigeon number on it is everywhere, it is the monster hunting hall operated by Zhou Li." ”

"What?"

Zhang Sohao was stunned, and then hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"

"I inquired at noon today, and it's this string of numbers."

With a wry smile, the dead man sighed and said slowly: "Lord Zhang, it's troublesome." ”

"Not true. Check, check for me! ”

After a short period of shock, Zhang Sohao frowned, shook his head again and again, and said in a solemn tone:

"It is absolutely impossible for Zhou Li to have anything to do with King Han, I have checked his life experience, and I have no connection with King Han. There is a high probability that Nadutong is just a one-way stronghold of the King of Han, and Zhou Li has no connection with the King of Han himself. ”

"Wait a minute."

Stretching out his hand to stop the Imperial Forest Army who wanted to act on the side, Zhang Sohao said slowly after a short thought:

"No, think differently."

He lowered his head and looked at Hou Jue, who was unconscious at his feet, with a smile on his face.

"It's all right, the Demon Hunting Hall, I should be able to accept the commission."

The corners of Zhang Suohao's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said softly: "Go, give the talisman to Li Kuan." Let Li Kuan go anywhere and give Zhou Li a commission. ”

"The content of the commission, looking for the missing Hou Jue."

Hearing this, the dead man's knife was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face gradually changed from surprise to admiration. He arched his hand and admired:

"Master Zhang is really wise. In this way, if Zhou Li knew King Han, he would inevitably show his flaws. ”

Zhang Sohao smiled coldly and said slowly:

"Not only that, if Zhou Li has no contact with King Han, we can control him at any time. If there is a connection, he will plan and kill the Northern Liang Xie family and the surrounding people with his hands, and blame the king of Han. ”

"Playing suspicious with me? Oh, I'll see how you can deal with it. ”

"How to deal with it?"

Looking at Zhou Li with a strange expression, the old scholar held the teacup, shook it, and said curiously: "Is this your set?" ”

"Half and half."

Zhou Li put the sweet milk with white sugar into Shuang'er's hand, looked at the girl who was happily drinking the milk, and said softly:

"I calculated for sure that after he saw the jade pendant of the Han King that I had asked for from Qianyun, he would inevitably escort Hou Jue into his barracks to take care of him. In this way, my supernatural powers will be able to see the Royal Forest Barracks. ”

Although Zhou Shuang'er's clairvoyance is not illegal and almost impossible to prevent, it still has its own shortcomings.

First of all, this magic power must be visible, that is, if the other party is in a room with doors and windows closed, this spell will be invalid. Secondly, in places like the Imperial Forest Barracks, where "invisible talismans" are hung or where an invisible barrier is set up, the supernatural powers will also be invalid.

Of course, Zhou Li can directly summon Zhou Shuang'er's immortal body, that is, like Zhou Yi in the mountain temple at the beginning, directly let the "immortal" Shuang'er in his heyday explore at will. You must know that the immortal body Zhou Yi can tear the mountain giants with his hands. If it was a fairy body, he could even see any pattern of the emperor's underwear in the capital.

But this is not necessary, after all, the Lingqi in the immortal gourd is too difficult to replenish. Since Zhou Yi of the Mountain Temple used the Lingqi to manifest the immortal body, there is less than half a point left of the Lingqi of this gourd, even if it is urged, it can only let Zhou Shuang'er look at it for a few seconds, which is meaningless.

Therefore, Zhou Li chose another way. That is, let Hou Jue "be" infiltrated the enemy camp, so that Zhou Li could see everything in this barracks in another way.

"What a comparison, what a comparison, what a ah,

Listening to the noisy voice in his head, Zhou Li smiled nonchalantly. On Hou Jue's body, his Ten Thousand Souls Vermilion Ball was placed in his arms.

Zhou Li was gambling, betting that Zhang Sohao would not dare to touch things of unknown origin at will.

As Zhou Li expected, in the face of the strangely shaped Wanling Zhu Ball, Zhang Suohao didn't dare to touch it, but just casually sealed a talisman and put it in Hou Jue's arms, and let him be escorted into the barracks.

As for the others...

The golden light in Zhou's eyes was dispersed, and if he wanted to use the clairvoyant Shunfeng Ear next time, it was estimated that he would have to wait a few days. He took a breath, thinking of Zhang Sohao's "Let Li Kuan entrust Zhou Li with the task of finding Hou Jue", a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Be smart."

Someone asked Zhou Li if he needed to cultivate, and this will be explained tomorrow. The level of the protagonist of this book will not be so routine, of course, there are routines, but it may be strange, after all, the tone of this book is a bit abstract.
