Chapter 37: Brother-in-law

In the past few days, the whole city of Tokyo has been in a lot of uproar. First, the assassin who assassinated the King of Jin in front of Honglu Temple was not caught, and then the black-clothed man who broke into the palace at night and held the emperor hostage.

However, in the past few days, there has been little gain, whether it is the messengers of Kaifeng Mansion or the forbidden army of the infantry guards, not even the trace of the assassin has been found, but it has captured many suspected assassins from unknown countries.

Zhao Kuangyin was angry at this machine, and punished several generals of the forbidden army and some officials of Tokyo City in a row.

Due to the early curfew time and the impact of the city's arrests, the business of Danchun Lou has faded a lot. Lan Zishu stood upstairs, her eyes wandering at the listless girls downstairs, and at this time, Xiao Xiao walked in from outside the door, went upstairs, and walked in front of Lan Zishu.

"Miss, things have been figured out. ”

"Tell me about it. Lan Zishu's eyes were still on the fallen girls. She likes to be quiet, but she doesn't like to watch others do nothing.

Xiao Xiao nodded and said: "The person who broke into the palace at night, because it was very chaotic at the time, the eyeliner we planted in the palace did not see his face clearly, but he recognized Xiao Zuo, the visiting envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

"Oh?" Lan Zishu turned her face and said in surprise: "What did that interesting kid do there?"

Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she mentioned Xiao Zuo, she was not less angry with him when she was tight with him in the past few days. "Miss, Xiao Zuo's intention to go to the palace is unknown, but we found something very interesting. ”

"What's interesting?" Lan Zishu asked curiously, frowning.

"It is very likely that he is a chess piece arranged by Emperor Song to Jinling, and he is also an extremely important chess piece. The mysterious person who held Emperor Song hostage was able to escape safely, and it was only by holding Xiao Zuo hostage that he was able to escape with his whole body. ”

"When you say this, it seems that this Xiao Zuo has a lot of weight in Zhao Kuangyin's mind. Lan Zishu muttered, and then pondered.

Xiao Xiao knew that whenever the young lady was pondering, she had a new idea and had to make a very important decision. So she stood silently aside, waiting for the young lady's next instructions.

After a while, Lan Zishu said slowly: "Send a message to Jinling, let Zhou Qiling make arrangements as soon as possible, and wait for Xiao Zuo to return to Jinling, if necessary, let him see the water invisible." All in all, Xiao Zuo is a very interesting person who can be used by me. ”

"Yes. After Xiaoxiao whispered yes, he went downstairs to find Xu's mother. When she said Xiao Zuo's performance in the palace, she had already guessed that the young lady would have such an arrangement. For Xiao Zuo, Xiao Xiao's mood is extremely complicated, on the one hand, he is very angry with this flamboyant boy, on the other hand, the days with him, he feels very down-to-earth, not so depressed, he can take off all the disguises on his body, speak and lose his temper unscrupulously.

This may be the so-called happiness, what kind of scene will it be if this kid becomes his own person. Maybe the young lady won't be able to stand his sharp mouth. Xiao Xiao thought happily, but she didn't notice the change in the expression on her face and was all looked at by Lan Zishu upstairs.

"This Xiao Zuo really has some ability, Xiao Xiao has only been with him for a few days, and such a big change has occurred. Looks like it's time for me to make a trip to Jinling. ”

After Xiao Zuo returned to Honglu Temple from the palace, he had been waiting for Yin Amei to come to him, so he repeatedly delayed returning to Jinling in the name of recuperating from his injuries. It's a pity that for several days, I didn't wait for Yin Amei to find her.

Li Congshan was extremely dissatisfied with this, at first he really thought that Xiao Zuo was injured when he entered the palace at night to steal paintings, and he didn't say much for the sake of Xiao Zuo's great achievements, but for several days, Xiao Zuo dragged on and on, and Li Yu was waiting to convict Lin Renzhao, and the pressure from Jinling was increasing, which made Li Congshan unable to bear it anymore and broke into Xiao Zuo's room directly.

"Lord Xiao, you can eat and sleep now, and your injuries are almost healed, shouldn't we go?" Li Congshan looked angry, and forced to look at Xiao Zuo, who was lying on the bed and moaning innocently.

"Hey," Xiao Zuo pretended to be very painful, and said slowly: "Lord Wang, you see that I can't get out of bed now, how can I set off, if I suffer from the bumps on the road again, Xiao Zuo may not be able to see Your Majesty." ”

Li Congshan looked at Xiao Zuo's pitiful appearance, and was annoyed, pretending to be so fake, why didn't he find out before? If he had known, he should not have agreed to Xiao Zuo's unreasonable request and returned to Jinling as soon as possible.

"Xiao Zuo, don't go too far, we've been spending a lot of time in Tokyo, and Your Majesty is already in a hurry. Li Congshan had no choice but to move Li Yu out, and the threat was self-evident.

Xiao Zuo made a bitter face and said: "It's really a sin, it's a dereliction of duty, the prince should have said it earlier, you see, why don't we set off tomorrow." ”

Li Congshan snorted coldly, "It's good that you know, no matter if you are really injured or fake, before you set off tomorrow, if you still push back, then you will bear all the consequences." ”

"Don't worry, Xiao Zuo knows that if the prince has nothing else to do, go back and rest. Xiao Zuo looked at the door with his left eyes and said lightly.

"You're doing it yourself. Coldly throwing down the last sentence, Li Congshan brushed his sleeves away.

After watching Li Congshan walk away, Xiao Zuohuo got up from the bed, picked up the teacup from the table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it, "This old guy, what Your Majesty can't wait, I'm afraid I want to go back in a hurry to ask for credit." ”

"I didn't expect that after so many years, the third brother's mouth is getting more and more powerful. At this moment, a figure jumped down from outside the wall. The person who came was none other than the eldest brother Yin Amei that Xiao Zuo had been waiting for.

Seeing Yin Amei, Xiao Zuo was overjoyed, stood up suddenly, rushed to Yin Amei's side, pulled his shoulder, looked up and down, and saw that there was no damage, and his heart settled, "Where has the eldest brother been these days, the whole Tokyo City is arresting you, but the younger brother is in a hurry." ”

Yin Amei sighed, did not answer, but walked straight to the table and sat down, only to see that his face was solemn, but he was silent, Xiao Zuo didn't know why, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with the eldest brother?"

Yin Amei looked up at Xiao Zuo with a bit of determination in her eyes, "Xiao Zuo, can I still trust you?"

"What does the eldest brother mean at this time?" These words made Xiao Zuo's heart startled, he didn't expect to meet the eldest brother again, and the topic of conversation was actually about trust, can time really dilute everything before, friendship, trust, is no longer there?

Yin Amei said in a deep voice: "Xiao Zuo, you are the deputy envoy of the Tang Kingdom, and you have a relationship with Emperor Song, so how can I trust you if you do this?"

Yin Amei is a frank person, without the scheming of the city government, and she does everything she can in her life, all according to her personal preferences. In his world, people are nothing more than good and evil, good and bad, and things are always black and white. And what he hates the most is a person like Xiao Zuo who flatters both ends and stabs twice.

"Big brother," Xiao Zuo understood his big brother's character and knew his current identity, which made him extremely hateful, "There is a reason for this, everything is a last resort, but I promise my eldest brother that I will not harm an innocent person, nor will I help the abuse." ”

Xiao Zuo didn't want to tell Yin Amei his plans, it was not because he didn't trust Yin Amei, but because the current situation was so complicated, and his advanced view of the overall situation, saying it would only make Yin Amei even more confused. So he can only choose to re-establish trust between two people with a very bad but seemingly sincere reason.

Yin Amei pondered for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Zuo with burning eyes, although five years have passed, Xiao Zuo's appearance has also changed greatly, but judging from his performance in the palace that night, his brother's nature has not changed, at least he knows that he can't implicate the innocent, and he knows that he can save his righteous brother at a critical moment.

Yin Amei's thinking is very simple, and he doesn't think much about problems at a deep level, as long as there is a little possibility, he will easily believe it. When he thought about it, he no longer doubted Xiao Zuo, and said with a slight smile: "Third brother, it's not good for your brother, and your brother shouldn't doubt you, but what is it that makes you act like this?"

"Big brother, things are more complicated, anyway, I won't hurt anyone, you can rest assured. Seeing that Yin Amei finally believed in herself, Xiao Zuo's hanging heart also relaxed.

Yin Amei didn't ask anymore, since she chose to trust her brother, there was no need to figure out everything, and when it was time for him to know, Xiao Zuo would make it clear. He didn't think much about it, but stood up and patted Xiao Zuo's shoulder, and said, "Third brother, you have grown strong." ”

Xiao Zuo touched his head a little shyly, and then said jokingly: "Big brother, you are still the same, and your beard is still so long." ”

"Haha, your mouth is not forgiving at all," Yin Amei laughed and pulled Xiao Zuo to sit down.

The two brothers sat together, and they had a lot to say when they reunited after a long absence, but they didn't know where to start for a while. I saw two ** eyes looking at each other, and then looked at each other and smiled, and finally Xiao Zuo broke the silence and said: "Why did the eldest brother come to Tokyo, and why did he break into the palace at night, do you need my help with anything?"

Yin Amei shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal to be a brother. I broke into the palace that night, just to save someone. ”

"Who is saving?" Xiao Zuo heard that he was just saving a person, not killing someone, if it was an unimportant person, he might be able to plead in front of Zhao Kuangyin and help his eldest brother.

"Lady Stamen of Shu. Yin Amei said lightly.

When Xiao Zuo heard this name, his heart was full of curiosity, when did his eldest brother meet the concubine of the lord of Shu Kingdom?
