A secret letter lay quietly on the desk made of rosewood, which was of great value.

Zhao Zheng looked at the secret letter that had just been sent, and the yellow mud seal on the envelope symbolizing the secret butterfly's second-class secret letter made him hesitate a little, as if he was reluctant to open it, and as if he didn't dare to touch it.

His fingers were about to touch the secret letter several times, but at the moment when he was about to touch it, he hurriedly withdrew it, and Zhao Zheng, who was frowning, looked at the man kneeling in front of the case and said, "How did this letter come from?"

The big man in front of the case didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: " Back to His Royal Highness, last night the spies reported, two groups of people of unknown origin suddenly appeared outside the city to fight each other, the subordinates did not dare to slack off, so they led people to investigate, but after the subordinates rushed over, the fight there has ended, only a few people in black clothes are looking for something, seeing that the subordinates brought people to arrive, they fled in a hurry, leaving only corpses all over the ground, because they don't know if they still have anyone, the subordinates do not dare to catch up rashly, but from the footprints left at the scene, these two groups of people should not be ordinary roles, the subordinates do not dare to relax at all, when even if the search is launched, this letter is from the search of those corpses, the subordinates thought that the identity of these two groups of people must not be simple, and there must be some ulterior secrets behind them, so they immediately led their subordinates to hide these corpses outside the city and ordered a few people to take care of them, and the subordinates brought this letter to His Highness. ”

Zhao Zheng frowned tightly after hearing this, this person was afraid that he was thinking of leading this secret letter to ask for merit, otherwise he would have handed it over directly to the city defense, how could he come to give it to himself? But judging from his words, he should not know what the origin of this letter is, otherwise with his intention to directly cross over to Shangguan and tell himself, I am afraid that he would have never seen anything, let alone dare to touch this secret letter.

But how could this secret butterfly's second-class secret letter appear outside the city? And it was in the middle of the night at the third watch, and what was even more unbelievable was who was the gang fighting with the secret butterfly? It was impossible for the little wolf in the north to go deep into here, could it be the wandering eagle from the north? But these people would not catch the secret butterfly within ten miles of the capital for a secret letter, but who else could compete with the secret butterfly besides the little wolf and the eagle?

Unable to figure out the somewhat disordered thoughts at this time, Zhao Zheng glanced at the kneeling man and asked, "Apart from a few of you, is there anyone else who knows about last night's incident?"

The man hurriedly said: "Back to Your Highness, no, it is not trivial for the subordinates to know about this matter, except for a few of their subordinates' cronies last night, the subordinates dare not tell anyone, even the subordinate officials don't know." ”

Zhao Zheng nodded, hummed, and said, "What's your name?"

Finally came, the man's words were full of surprise, leaned down, and pressed his forehead to the floor, "Subordinate Hongshu." ”

Hearing the man's reply, Zhao Zheng just nodded lightly and said, "You go down first." ”

Without Zhao Zheng's half a sentence, Hong Shu did not have any disappointed look, but a trace of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

After the fight last night, Hong Shu already knew that this matter was not simple, so he dared to bypass his superiors directly, and gambled on the most taboo crime of overstepping his authority in the army, and he had to personally send this letter to Zhao Zheng.

His heart was full of joy, but Hong Shu didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, saluted Zhao Zheng respectfully, and then retreated.

Zhao Zheng looked at the secret letter on the desk with a shocked face, and said behind the screen: "Sir, do you have any opinion on this matter?"

Xie Huaiyu heard Zhao Zheng's question, so he walked out of the screen, looked at the disappearing back of Hong Shu, walked up to the case, glanced at the secret letter on the table, and said: "This is the second-class secret letter of the secret butterfly, is His Highness hesitating to open it or not?"

Zhao Zheng nodded and motioned to Xie Huaiyu to share his thoughts.

Xie Huaiyu pondered for a while, and then said unhurriedly: "That Hong Shu doesn't know the importance of this secret letter, if he can come here with this secret letter, it means that the group of secret butterflies has been driven out, otherwise Hong Shu can't even walk in the palace gate, and will enter the hands of the mysterious butterfly keeper, in this case, it doesn't hurt if His Highness opens the secret letter, it depends on how His Highness decides." ”

Zhao Zheng's face was a little hesitant, the mysterious people who dared to make a move on the secret butterfly would definitely not leave anyone related to this secret letter, so now this secret letter is not only known by the few cronies in Hong Shu's hands, and the secret butterfly will not know the whereabouts of this letter, let alone what is written in this letter, but if he really opens it....

The matter of the secret butterfly has always been only asked by the imperial grandfather himself, and no one else is allowed to interfere, otherwise the butterfly keeper who sees the head and the tail of the dragon will not care who you are or what your identity is, and even the imperial grandfather will not be able to intercede on this matter.

Zhao Zheng, who hesitated for a long time, slowly touched the book to the secret letter, but this time he did not retract his palm like just now, but directly and decisively tore open the secret letter in his hand, took out the letter paper, and looked at it.

However, half a page of letter paper saw that Zhao Zheng's face was constantly breaking out in cold sweat, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the expression on his face kept switching between shock, fear, anger, and disbelief for a while.

With a "snap", he lined up the secret letter in his hand on the table, and immediately said to Xie Huaiyu: "Quick, sir, they must not keep Hongshu!"

Xie Huai didn't have time to think about it, so he stood up decisively and trotted out of the door of the study.

Zhao Zheng, who was full of incredulity, stood up, took the secret letter on the desk, took the envelope, and put it directly into the charcoal fire used to warm up in the study.

Zhao Zheng looked at the embers on the charcoal fire with palpitations, and shouted loudly: "Come on, prepare the car!" and walked out of the study directly.

...........

Zhao Xian stood in front of the table with one hand, holding a brush in his right hand, writing something, and there were pieces of rice paper with words scattered on the ground.

On the tea table in the room, a woman with a graceful figure and a thin waist of willow kneeling on the soft couch, her fair and slender hands were gently fiddling with this jade flute, and half of her face was covered by a black tulle, but she could vaguely see the woman's delicate and gorgeous appearance.

"Your Highness, you have such a way of writing, but you can't practice any good calligraphy. The woman spoke softly.

Zhao Xian threw a piece of written rice paper to the ground casually, and said casually: "This king only writes, and he can't practice words, how about it?"

The woman put the jade flute in her hand on the edge of the soft collapse, and glanced at Zhao Xian, who was still only concerned about writing, "I replied over there, and it was all done according to your intentions, but I don't understand, what benefits can Your Highness get in exchange for such a painstaking arrangement?"

Zhao Xian did not stop the brush in his hand, but looked left and right at the rice paper he had just written, frowned, seemed to be not very satisfied, threw the rice paper on the ground again, and raised the brush again, "You don't have to have benefits to do it, sometimes, you can't get benefits, it's the biggest harvest, what do you say?"

Fei Yu, the second on the beauty list, if someone on the rivers and lakes opens a vocal list, then this Fei Yu, who covers half of his face all the year round, can be at the top of the list, relying on a jade flute that can be described as a natural sound, it can make countless young sons who claim to be gentlemen and Confucian scholars lose their manners, but outsiders may not know, but the Shu Wangfu knows that the most shocking thing about this woman is not the jade flute with her amazing skills, nor the face that captivates the country and the city.

It is enough to compare the brains of thousands of strategists, and very few people know that the layout of Shu for so many years, except for most of the arrangements in Shu all the year round, except for Sima Nan, who has been in Shu all the year round, the rest is Feiyu, who is the second on the list of beauties.

Fei Yu smiled, took the teacup upside down on the small tea table, began to cook the tea, and said unhurriedly: "How do I know, if you want me to say, I think you come to this capital is superfluous, I don't know what you want to do?"

Zhao Xian did not answer Fei Yu's question, but put down the brush in his hand, walked to the tea case, and said directly, and said with a smile: "The little prince of the Li family is out of Suizhou City, I heard that Zhao Xiong gave him Liu Mingyue, who he regarded as a treasure, and he will be in Jiangnan in a short time, you are still sitting here at this time, don't you say that he is worthy of you in this world? Although I always feel that this kid is a scoundrel." ”

After hearing Li Bad's name, Fei Yu's bright eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, "What do you know, if you who claim to be humble sons can have the slightest bit of Li Bad's realm, how can I not even look at it?"

Zhao Xian asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong with this kid? Don't you still say that when this kid saw you in his early years, his eyes were still lustful except for lustful eyes?" Could it be that you, the second-best beauty on the list, like this kind of lustful eyes?"

When Fei Yu heard Zhao Xian's words, he seemed to return to the scene when he met Li Bad back then, and laughed out loud, and Zhao Xian on the side was a little stunned.

"Do you know what he said other than the squinting look he had?"

Zhao Xian shook his head inexplicably, and Fei Yu slowly poured the brewed tea into the teacup, not speaking.

................

On the Jin Palace, Zhao Simin sat comfortably in the small pavilion of the palace, slowly brewing a pot of rare tea sent from the south, which was said to be one or two thousand gold, but there was no distress on his face.

One of the guards standing behind him, half-kneeling on the ground, said respectfully, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged. ”

Zhao Simin waved his hand lightly, and the guards retreated.

Poured the brewed tea into the pond outside the pavilion, and there was a burst of white gas in an instant, Zhao Simin looked at the small pond with a smile, and stretched out his hands, as if he was hugging something.

"Great world!"
