Recently, whenever there is no special matter, Luo Tianjin will invite Ye Luqin and Xun Qin to the study for a secret meeting, often for most of the day.

The purpose is threefold, one is to share the latest collected information with the two, and speculate on the next intentions of the Great Song Dynasty, Mongolia and Jin Fuyu. The two waited for an opportunity to inquire about the preparations of the young Qin king. The three of them restrained the energy of Yeluqin and Xunqin, so that Xie Xuan and others could secretly recruit troops and cultivate their own "Imperial Forest Army".

November 27, morning.

Luo Tianjin, as always, discussed important matters with Ye Luqin and Xun Qin in the study. The rest of the people in the house were intensively preparing for the marriage of Liu Xunyi and Luo Ningyu, and they were all happy and busy.

"Bang, bang. ”

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Luo Tianjin and the three of them.

"What's the matter?"

"Mansion Master, Master Shen is here to visit. Luo Qi's voice came from outside the study.

"Master Shen?" Luo Tianjin was stunned for a moment, and then turned to see Yeluqin and Xun Qin with strange faces, his face instantly sank, and he said unhappily, "I have already refused the court's recruitment, what are they doing here?"

"Back to the Mansion Master, only Master Shen came here today, and Lord Zhao did not accompany him. ”

"Oh?"

Luo Tianjin was curious, and was about to answer, but Yeluqin spoke first: "Since there are guests visiting, it is better for the two of us to avoid it first." ”

"No need!" Luo Tianjin knew that Yeluqin was deliberately testing himself, so he waved his hand and said righteously, "You are not outsiders. ”

After that, Luo Tianjin instructed Luo Qi: "Please talk about Master Shen's study." ”

"Yes. ”

A moment later, Shen Dongshan, who looked melancholy, came to the study. When he saw Yeluqin and Xun Qin sitting on the side, he was stunned at first, and then looked at Luo Tianjin, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of strangeness.

"Master Shen, please take a seat!"

Luo Tianjin saw the clue, but he remained silent, and said jokingly: "What kind of wind blows Master Shen here? You are a busy person, you have always seen the beginning of the dragon but not the end, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see you." ”

"Lord Luofu is going to laugh. Shen Dongshan said embarrassedly, "Now I am in a deep quagmire, and I really can't get out." Alas!"

"Why did Master Shen say this?"

"Shen is sandwiched between Lord Luo and Lord Zhao, and he is in a dilemma. Shen Dongshan smiled bitterly, "One is the imperial court, and the other is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and Shen can't afford to offend anyone." ”

"Oh?" Ye Luqin raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully, "What does Master Shen mean, could it be that Lord Zhao still refuses to give up Zhao'an?"

Hearing this, Shen Dongshan's eyes moved, and he subconsciously chuckled twice, but did not answer.

"Master Shen seems to have something to say?" Luo Tianjin frowned slightly, and said cautiously, "I don't know...... Could it have anything to do with Luo?"

"It's not directly related to Lord Luofu. Shen Dongshan muttered, "What about Zhao'an...... There is no direct relationship. ”

Hearing Shen Dongshan's answer, Luo Tianjin's hanging heart finally fell, he was most worried that Shen Dongshan came to "borrow money" and expose his selfishness in front of Yeluqin and Xunqin. Now that he heard that Shen Dongshan's intention had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.

"Why did Master Shen come?"

Facing Luo Tianjin's question, Shen Dongshan hesitated and said vaguely: "This ...... This ......"

"Master Shen doesn't have to scruples, Lord Ning and Miss Xun Qin are friends of Luo. Luo Tianjin smiled, "There is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Luo Tianjin's words made Yeluqin very useful, and a trace of smugness appeared between his eyebrows.

Since this is the case, Shen will no longer go around in circles. Shen Dongshan said with a straight face, "Dare to ask the lord of Luofu, did anyone from the mansion go to Xiangyun Silk Village three days ago?"

Luo Tianjin frowned, nodded and said, "It's true, I went to try on the wedding clothes that day." ”

On that day, Lord Zhao also went to Xiangyun Silk Village. ”

"What?"

Just these words made Luo Tianjin's face change suddenly, and his eyes suddenly became nervous.

Seeing this, Yeluqin and Xun Qin were secretly suspicious, and subconsciously glanced at each other.

"How did Master Shen know?"

"Actually, Xiangyun Silk Village is Shen's business, and this matter will be returned by the next person. Shen Dongshan said bluntly, "Lord Zhao and Mrs. Luo once talked about it alone in Xiangyun Silk Village, about ...... A stick of incense. ”

"Shhh

The most feared thing still happened, and in an instant, Luo Tianjin's face was cloudy, his eyes flickered brightly, and he was quickly calculating countermeasures in his mind.

"Master Shen, do you know what they talked about?"

Shen Dongshan shook his head bitterly and explained: "They had a secret meeting in the tea hall on the second floor, and Lord Zhao did not allow others to approach, so Shen had no way of knowing about their conversation. ”

"This ......"

"I know that the lord of Luofu has made up his mind to refuse the court's recruitment, and Shen came here today, not to play right and wrong, but to make the lord of Luofu think twice. ”

"What do you mean?" Luo Tianjin looked dazed, as if he didn't understand Shen Dongshan's intention.

"Lord and Mrs. Luo...... It's best to be consistent in your attitude towards Zhao'an. Since you refuse, refuse to the end, don't do one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back, so as not to backfire and cause extraneous branches. ”

In fact, Shen Dongshan didn't know about Luo Tianjin's falling out with Ling Xiaoxiao at all, he thought that Luo Tianjin was playing some conspiracy again, and deliberately sent Ling Xiaoxiao to meet Zhao Yuan secretly, so he was dissatisfied and came to admonish.

As everyone knows, Ling Xiaoxiao has already separated from Luo Tianjin, and her private meeting with Zhao Yuan is not what Luo Tianjin meant, but makes her own decisions.

If Shen Dongshan knew the cause and effect, he would definitely not be so reckless. After all, betraying Zhao Yuan did him no good.

Clever for a lifetime, confused for a while. This time, Shen Dongshan did commit a negligence in order to get out as soon as possible.

But also because of his negligence, Luo Tianjin learned the truth in time, and almost missed a hidden danger.

At this time, Yeluqin and Xun Qin had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, but on the surface they were silent and listened quietly like outsiders.

"Thank you Master Shen for reminding me. Luo Tianjin didn't break it, and asked faintly, "Dare to ask Master Shen, who else saw Zhao Yuan in Xiangyun Silk Village that day?"

"This ......" Shen Dongshan looked at Luo Tianjin with puzzled eyes, and hesitated, "Why did the Lord of the Luo Mansion ask knowingly? Miss Luo and Liu Zhifan were trying on clothes, and Master Xu and Master Ling were guarding the door. ”

"Yu'er, Xunyi, Xu Heng, Ling Qing. Luo Tianjin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded thoughtfully, "I know, thank you Master Shen for telling me frankly." ”

"What?" Shen Dongshan finally noticed something unusual, and his heart moved, and he was stunned, "Could it be that the Lord of Luo Mansion doesn't know about this?"

"Yes, of course I do. Luo Tianjin seemed to be smiling, and his tone was very strange.

Having said that, Shen Dongshan has gradually realized that he may have made a big mistake.

He originally wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, but the entanglement between Luo Tianjin and Zhao Yuan as soon as possible, so that his golden cicada could come out of his shell. Unexpectedly, because of his inconsiderate thinking and impulsiveness, he made a huge mistake.

Helplessly, it was impossible for Shen Dongshan to turn back time, so he could only continue with his head.

"Shen came here just to remind the lord of Luofu. Shen Dongshan's heart was annoyed, so as not to lose too many words, so he hurriedly perfunctory, "Let Lord Zhao leave Luoyang City as soon as possible, it will be good for you and me, I hope ...... The lord of Luofu is good for himself. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Shen said goodbye!"

"The greeting was not good, and Master Shen walked slowly. ”

After greeting each other, Shen Dongshan no longer hesitated and left the study as if he were running away.

Luo Tianjin's face sank like water, his eyes were cold, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Yeluqin and Xun Qin couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so they said goodbye to Luo Tianjin.

After leaving the study, the two of them walked all the way without saying a word, until they returned to the courtyard where they lived.

"Xun Qin!"

At the moment when Xun Qin pushed the door back to the room, Ye Luqin's voice suddenly sounded: "What do you think of Shen Dongshan's words just now?"

I don't know why? After coming out of the study, Xun Qin had been absent-minded, and at this moment, he was stopped by Yeluqin, and he was taken aback.

"Huh?" Xun Qin subconsciously responded, "What's the matter?"

"Don't you notice something strange?" Yeluqin raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xun Qin's gaze with a deep meaning.

"Strange?" Xun Qin struggled inwardly, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded reluctantly, "Yes......!

Looking at Luo Tianjin's reaction just now, it was obvious that Ling Xiaoxiao had a secret meeting with Zhao Yuan, and he didn't know anything. Ye Luqin said, "As far as I know, Ling Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yuanyuan have only met once in the middle hall of King Xian's mansion. For no reason, how could they go to Xiangyun Silk Village to meet in secret? Someone must be making trouble about this matter. ”

As for this, a hint of playfulness appeared in Yeluqin's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Guess, who is secretly making trouble about this?"

"This ......" Xun Qin didn't guess, but for some indescribable reason, she seemed reluctant to say the person's name.

"Liu Xunyi!" Xun Qin didn't say, Yeluqin said for her, "If it weren't for someone who should cooperate with the outside, how could Zhao Yuan know Ling Xiaoxiao's whereabouts?"

Xun Qin nodded lightly as if he was nothing, and responded appropriately.

"How long do you want to drag this matter on?" Ye Luqin's tone sank and he asked, "Since the first day Zhao Yuan came to Luoyang City, I have repeatedly urged you to inform Luo Tianjin of Liu Xunyi's secret, but you have repeatedly shirked it on the grounds of giving people a handle. I know that you have always acted in a measured manner, so I respect your decisions and do not force you to obey me. But now, Liu Xunyi has become a stumbling block for the cooperation between King Shaoqin and Luo Tianjin, do you think there is a need to continue to drag it out?"

"This ......"

Liu Xunyi saw that Luo Tianjin's decision had been made, so he hit Ling Xiaoxiao with his mind again, if he was allowed to mess around, King Shaoqin's plan would be ruined by him sooner or later. Yeluqin's tone eased and persuaded, "I know that you and Liu Xunyi have some friendship, but friendship is friendship, and the great cause of recovering the country is the most important thing." How much effort King Shao Qin put into this, you should know better than anyone else. At this critical moment, you must not miss the opportunity because of the kindness of a thought, and regret it for the rest of your life. ”

"I see. Xun Qin nodded slowly, "Give me three days......"

"No!" Yeluqin refused, "Liu Xunyi is full of hidden dangers, and if you stay longer, you will have a moment more dangerous." Therefore, I will only give you one day! Before noon tomorrow, if you still refuse to tell Luo Tianjin the true identity of Liu Xunyi, I will tell you personally. When the time comes, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. ”

"But ......"

"No, but!" said Yeluqin undoubtedly, "Liu Xunyi's handle is not a threat to us at all, let alone an excuse for your repeated delays. When the interruption continues, you will suffer from the chaos, you are so self-conscious!"

With that, Yeluqin no longer gave Xun Qin a chance to speak, and turned around and walked towards his room.
