It had been many years since he last saw Xiao Xiang. When he met him again in his twilight years, Zhou Xingsi felt quite emotional.
Zhou Xingsi laughed and said that when he left the capital, Xiao Xiang was just a little girl, but now she has grown into a grown-up girl.
The old man had been away from Beijing for a long time, so he didn't know the current situation in the court. But he knew that those people dared to assassinate the princess, and the forces behind them must be very powerful.
Seeing that the teacher was hesitant to speak, Xiao Xiang spoke first , "Teacher, don't worry about me. I actually know who did it."
The old man didn't ask any specific questions, but just asked , "Why did they attack you?"
Xiao Xiang said, "Father did not let me stay away from government affairs because I am a woman. Instead, he entrusted many matters to me with confidence, and I completed them one by one. Therefore, many old officials in the court, including
eager to meet Zhou Xingsi for two reasons . First, Mr. Zhou had lived in Zhijiang City for a long time and understood the situation in the city, which would help him to carry out subsequent matters. Second, Mr. Zhou was the teacher of the missing Princess Changle, so Zhao Xi thought it would be great if he could find some news about the princess in addition to his job.However, Master Zhou did not seem to be in a good mood about their sudden visit. The two looked at each other. The disciple Dian Cang explained that the teacher had caught a cold and was feeling unwell, but Zhao Xi always felt that Master Zhou had a prejudice against them.After returning from visiting Zhou Xingsi, the two learned another big news: Crown Prince Xiao Tong had arrived in Zhijiang City.Upon hearing the news, the two men did not dare to delay and hurried to meet the emperor.Zhao Xi was inevitably surprised when he heard the news, and Cao Yang was surprised and a little fri
and Le Zhengke, who had been waiting outside the county government office, finally started to take action in the middle of the night. Before the action, Le Zhengke asked Wen Ren to go back first. Wenren Busha also knew that he could not help much by staying here, so he agreed.After Xiao Tong and Zhao Xi left the county government, the county government's guard force was also greatly reduced.Shen Kuang and Le Zhengke found a dark alley with ease, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and jumped over it easily.last night when they entered the old residence , there were a lot of soldiers patrolling the county office tonight, so the two of them needed to be more careful.The two of them had no way of knowing the specific layout of the county government office, but they had heard people say that the prison in Zhijiang City was within the county government office, so everything that followed had to be explored slowly by the two
The four guards that Xiao Tong left in the county government office were Luo Hong and Zheng Linxue, both at the Grandmaster level, and Huang He and Chu Xingge, both at the Great Perfection level of Guiyuan Realm .Among the four, except Zheng Linxue, the other three are over fifty years old. Although Zheng Linxue's cultivation is only a level two junior grandmaster compared to Luo Hong, he is young, only thirty-five years old now, and his future is limitless.Huang He and Chu Xingge were in prison, while Luo Hong and Zheng Linxue lived deep in a courtyard.fanned the breeze leisurely .Luo Hong, who was sitting opposite Zheng Linxue, was annoyed by his fanning. In addition, Luo Hong was already unhappy, so he said irritably, "Can you stop fanning? It's very annoying."Hearing this, Zheng Linxue smiled and put away his small fan, saying, "Brother Luo, you can't take your anger out on me just because His Highness doesn't allow you to speak!"
On the other side, Shen Kuang, who returned to the inn, also took a nap and woke up not long ago.Xiao Xiang slept intermittently several times last night, but he was never able to sleep peacefully because he was worried about the progress of Shen Kuang and the others. It was not until dawn when he knew that Shen Kuang was back that Xiao Xiang was completely relieved.When she couldn't sleep last night, Xiao Xiang lay alone in front of the table, her chin resting on the back of her hands. She looked at the dim candlelight and thought about many things.This journey with Shen Kuang gave her an unprecedented feeling.As the Princess of Liang, Xiao Xiang has always wanted to do her best to help the country. Even if what she does will touch the interests of a few people, and even if such actions will put herself in danger, she has never been afraid.But this time, when Xiao Xiang had to separate from Aunt Bai, leaving only her and Shen Kuang, she was
Live, a word that couldn't be more ordinary, but at this moment, it sounded so harsh to Yao Fengchu's ears.Yao Fengchu raised his head and looked at Shen Kuang. It wasn't that he didn't believe what Shen Kuang said, but he was full of disdain and contempt.Yao Fengchu said to himself, "How big is a Jianghu? You have no idea how terrible the people behind us are."As he spoke, Yao Fengchu smiled in a daze and said , "You don't know, and you can't imagine it."Shen Kuang looked at the change in Yao Fengchu's demeanor and said nothing. It wasn't until Yao Fengchu finished speaking that Shen Kuang said casually, "Who is that person? Is it Prince Xiao Tong?"When Yao Fengchu heard this, he suddenly looked at Shen Kuang. His expression changed suddenly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.Yao Fengchu looked at the meaningful smile on Shen Kuang's lips. At this moment, he felt that the young man in front of him was so terrifying."How coul
In fact, Shen Kuang didn't say much from the beginning to the end. The old man knew his mission just by seeing those words.When Shen Kuang left Zhou Mansion, he happened to meet Zhao Xi again at the door. Zhao Xi looked at Shen Kuang walking out and recognized him as the man from yesterday. The only difference was that there was a girl beside him yesterday.Although Zhao Xi didn't ask any more questions, he still kept this young man dressed in a gangland style in mind.Without any suspense, Zhao Xi was scolded by Zhou Xingsi. Zhao Xi, who hit the gun, didn't even realize what happened after the old man finished scolding him.After the old man finished cursing, Zhao Xi asked only what happened. The old man then threw the things Shen Kuang brought in front of Zhao Xi.Zhao Xi frowned and picked up the thing on the ground, and then his expression changed in the same way as the old man."You, Zhao Xi, are the Dian Censor of Nanyang County, sup
When he returned to the inn and opened the door, Shen Kuang found Xiao Xiang waiting for him in the room.Xiao Xiang saw Shen Kuang looking a little depressed when he opened the door. The words that were already on his lips were not spoken. Xiao Xiang looked at Shen Kuang and asked, "What's wrong with you?"Shen Kuang was not surprised to see Xiao Xiang. He closed the door and sat at the table and replied calmly , "Something happened on the way back. It's nothing."Shen Kuang did not tell the truth truthfully because he knew that Xiao Xiang could not save the two girls."You want to see me if you have anything?" Shen Kuang asked.Xiao Xiang saw that Shen Kuang was unwilling to tell the truth, so he didn't ask any more questions, but told what happened in the afternoon."Not long ago, the woman from the inn came over to clean. When she saw you weren't there, she planned to open the door and come in. By the time I heard the noise, she had alr
Cao Yang did not dare to guess Xiao Tong's thoughts at will. It was not that he did not want to but did not dare to think about life and death.Xiao Tong didn't intend to waste any more words with Cao Yang. In his eyes, even Yao Fengchu was useless, let alone a small magistrate of Zhijiang County.Giving you meat to eat is to reward you and make you work more diligently, but if you are useless, it is not impossible to kill you and eat meat, and Cao Yang is such a character.When night falls slightly, the streets in the city are already deserted, and even the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, which usually has a prosperous business, is having trouble doing business these days. It's a winter night and the city has been uneasy recently, so most people prefer to stay at home with their wives and children on the hot bed, and they don't see many people walking around on the street.Zhong Gu had already led the carriage out in advance. He specifically asked his mother-in
