Rebirth of a Star General

For the next two days, Heyan had been waiting for the news from Fuwang of the Xu family. Unfortunately, I don't know if it was because Xu Zhiheng was also investigating the whereabouts of mother Qin. Fuwang's search for someone was not going smoothly. At the same time, he Yan and Xiao Jue met Mrs. fan that night, if someone really sneaked into the prison, intended to kill.

As Xiao Jue reminds him, Lord Liu has increased the number of guards in prison ahead of time. The assassins failed, but the jailers failed to catch people, and the masked assassins fled. Even so, Mrs. fan is still insane. Mr. Liu dare not torture her easily. The fan family's people related to the maid who is trying to die are still investigating. The case has reached a deadlock.

He Yan was assassinated in the streets on that day. When the city garrison arrived, many people bravely came to watch. He Yanliang's identity could not be concealed. The next day, people in manshuojing knew that Xiao Jue's fiancee, Marquis guangtianhua of Wu'an, his Majesty's personal seal, was assassinated in the next day. Fortunately, he was not poor in skill and survived. For a time, people in Shuo capital went out less at night for fear of meeting bandits wandering outside.

Before everything is known, people in the capital will only think of them as bandits.

In the prince's mansion, beautiful maids are playing the piano and dancing.

It is no longer a day or two for the prince to indulge in his emotions. Although the princess was angry, she could not do anything about it. She put all her heart into her body. She only hoped that she would give birth to her eldest grandson and her position would be more stable. Unfortunately, the princess's stomach is not competitive, since the prince's house into the door has not been moving. Guangyan was dissatisfied with the princess and became more and more angry. Up to now, no one can discipline him in the whole mansion.

Today, the prince held a banquet and invited Xu Xiang. Chu Zhao was also present.

"Since my father's marriage, we haven't had time to congratulate my son, Landao." The crown prince looked at Chu Zhao and said with a smile, "this time, Zi Lan has fulfilled his wish and made a great marriage with Xu. Congratulations. " After that, Chao Chu Zhaoyang raised the wine cup in his hand.

Chu Zhao quickly raised the wine glass in front of him, saying that he did not dare. Drink up the wine with the prince.

"Now Xiao Huaijin has returned to shuojing," Guangyan sighed, "the envoy of Utopia will enter Beijing soon. Xiao Huaijin will do everything possible to block the opening of a forum in the Wei Dynasty. However, most of the people in the imperial court are our people now, so this palace is not worried. " After a pause, the prince's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, "this palace is worried about the fourth. If Xiao Huaijin turns to the old four... "

Although guangshuo's contacts were not as extensive as those of empress Zhang, guangshuo had a natural advantage that they did not have, namely, the favor of emperor Wenxuan.

Emperor Wenxuan doted on guangshuo, and several old and smelly hard stones secretly supported guangshuo, the fourth prince.

"The four princes do not fight for the mean, your highness need not worry." Xu Xiang opened his mouth with a smile.

"That boy can't do much, just..." The prince narrowed his eyes, "it always makes people feel in the way."

Most of the people in the court didn't say it clearly, but everyone knew that his talent and character were not as good as guangshuo. Even his own people think so, even the old fox in front of him The prince's eyes passed over Xu Xiang, but he remembered another interesting thing.

"Zilan," the prince suddenly looked at Chu Zhao, "I heard that there is a maid beside you. She is beautiful and smart, but is it serious?"

When Chu Zhao heard the speech, his heart was like a basin of cold water. Slowly, it turned into ice. However, the surface was not obvious. He respectfully replied, "it's true."

"Why never see you with this beauty?" The prince asked with a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Why? Of course, it is because once the crown prince sees it, Yingxiang will not be able to stay in the Chu family. All along, with the prince's extensive character, every beautiful woman would be taken away to his own house. Yingxiang's appearance will only bring disaster to her.

"This woman is not clever, and because of her excessive beauty, it is inconvenient to take it with her. The lower officials have always asked her to stay in the house and do some sweeping work."

The prince heard the speech and burst out laughing, "Zilan, you're a monster. You don't know how to be kind to women and cherish jade. If you marry Ping ting in the future, you should make a good change. Otherwise, Xu Xiang will not be happy

Xu Jingfu just sat on one side, drinking tea with a smile, as if he did not hear the prince's words.

Chu Zhao showed a look of bewilderment.

"It's not only left in your house, but also a cruel thing. It's better to give it to this palace." If the crown prince does not intend to say: "this palace is lack of such a clever girl, the East Palace is not poor to raise more personal food, how do you feel?"

Chu Zhao was stunned and raised his eyes to see the wide spread.

I don't know when the piano stops in the hall, and the dancing maid also quietly retreats. In the quiet, the air is stagnant like thick blood, with a kind of disgusting suffocation.

Young people look handsome, but I don't know if their eyes are obviously blue and black because of their excessive indulgence. When they look at people, they always take a bit of sullen and manic. Although the corners of the mouth with a smile, staring at their own eyes, but there is a bit of high above the contempt.It is from the heart of disdain, the superior see a mole ant like contempt.

"What?" The prince jokingly said, "Zilan can't be reluctant?"

Xu Jingfu just looked at the tea cup in front of him without making a sound.

Chu Zhao got up, went to the prince and bowed down, "how dare Zilan? Yingxiang is blessed to be chosen by his highness to serve his highness. But the girl is clumsy and clumsy. She is afraid of bumping into her highness. Since Her Highness is interested in her, she will send someone to send Yingxiang to her when she returns to the mansion. "

His respectful attitude obviously pleased the crown prince. After Chu Zhao knelt for a while, he got up and helped him up. He said with a satisfied smile, "why salute? You are a close member of this palace. After people are sent to the mansion, the palace will take good care of her."

Chu Zhao showed his loyalty again. After the prince was greatly pleased, he returned to his seat and sat down.

On the long table, he ate with chopsticks and looked as usual. He didn't seem to be affected by the incident. When he stopped drinking, his eyes fell on Xu Jingfu.

The old man's face is kind and loving, and seems to be open-minded. He looks at it with a smile, just like his teacher's gentle smile when he worshipped at the corner of his robe.

Chu Zhao also gave Xu Jingfu a smile and raised his glass to congratulate him. Only when he looked carefully, he could see that the tip of his other hand under the table was embedded into the palm of his palm, and a bloodstain was spilled.

……

By the time we got back to the Chu family, it was already very late.

Stepping into the gate of the mansion, chuzhao's smile on his face was scattered cleanly. He used to have a gentle smile. Even when he was facing the servants of the Chu family, he seemed to be intolerable today. Once he entered the gate of the mansion, his face looked ugly as if he was going to drip water, and people did not dare to come near.

Everyone in the Chu family knows that this four young master is remarkable. When he was sent back to his family, everyone thought that the fourth master of Chu would not live long. He was born to a brothel girl and would not be accepted by Mrs. Chu. When Chu Zhao was young, he had a hard time before he met Xu Jingfu. Although protected by Chu Linfeng, Chu Linfeng is not a father who is fond of his son. In the corner where Chu Linfeng can't see, Chu Zhao is often beaten up.

But the child was very tolerant, until good luck came. Prime Minister Xu Jingfu picked him up and soon became Xu's favorite student.

After that, Chu Zhao rose up all the way. Gradually, Mrs. Chu couldn't move him any more. Chu Linfeng was obedient to her son, but Chu Zhao never changed her temperament. He treated Chu's servants with gentleness from the beginning to the end. As always, after a long time, many of Mrs. Chu's people secretly turned to Chu Zhao.

A more promising, more gentle and considerate master, the fool knows how to choose.

But today's Chu Zhao, his upbringing and good temperament, seems to have endured to the end.

As soon as Fu went into his yard, he saw the familiar lantern shaking at the door from a distance. Chu Zhao went in, and Ying Xiang came forward: "fourth young master."

He entered the room without saying a word.

Xu's expression is too abnormal today. Ying Xiang is stunned and follows him in. Standing beside Chu Zhao, he asks in a low voice, "fourth young master, but what happened?"

Chu Zhao raised his eyes to the woman in front of him.

Yingxiang is very beautiful and charming. Standing here, she is more beautiful than flowers. Such appearance is enough even to enter the palace. In the Chu family, if it was not for the servant girl around him, he would have carried Ying Xiang to be his concubine in the 20th room.

It's hard to imagine that Ying Xiang's parents are just ordinary, and how to produce such a romantic and gorgeous face.

When Chu Zhao first saw Ying Xiang, he was in front of the brothel. Ying Xiang's father, a gambler, is holding her wrist. He uses a bargaining tone to discuss with the brothel lady whether his daughter can sell more money. Ying Xiang's mother, a woman with a big stomach, just stood by and wept silently, and did not dare to say anything.

At that time, Chu Zhaocai was only nine years old and had just followed Xu Jingfu. Mrs. Chu did not dare to bully him openly any more. Ying Xiang looks as big as he is, dressed in shabby clothes, but his skin is very white. Even though he is not dressed up, he can see that he is a beauty. Her expression has always been very calm, do not cry, do not make noise, standing in the same place, Chu Zhaoting in the opposite street to see her, the girl then looked up at him.

She has no expression, but she seems to be able to see her deep sorrow and despair through her eyes. It's like a surrender to a known fate, unable to resist.

For a moment, Chu Zhao thought of Ye Runmei.

He asked the boy to take two pieces of silver to buy Yingxiang, and then he told Chu Linfeng that he lacked a maid. Chu Linfeng thought that Chu Zhao had other thoughts. He was romantic. He was not only not annoyed by his son's behavior, but also highly appreciated it. So far, Ying Xiang stayed with Chu Zhao.

In recent years, Yingxiang doesn't talk much. What is different from her charming and colorful appearance is her quiet and obedient nature. She also grew more and more beautiful. Chu Zhao knew very well that beauty would bring disaster. The days when he could protect Yingxiang were very limited.The pity in his eyes was probably noticed by Ying Xiang. Ying Xiang was stunned. After a while, he pursed his lips and asked, "fourth young master, is this related to the slave?"

"Today I went to the prince's house," Chu Zhao said, "the prince knows you."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, Yingxiang calmly said, "I understand."

Her answer was obedient and gentle, just like the moment when she was about to be sold by her father outside the brothel, she naturally accepted her fate, as if she had expected it.

Chu Zhao moved his lips and finally spat out two words, "sorry."

Instead, Ying Xiang smiles. She goes to the table and pours Chu Zhao tea as usual. The tea is simmered on the stove in advance. When Chu Zhao comes back, she drinks hot tea. On such a cold day, she needs to drink some warm stomach. She handed the tea cup to Chu Zhao and said in a soft voice, "I've been with you for so long. I'm satisfied. In the future, when the slaves are not here, the fourth young master should remember to take care of himself. "

Chu Zhao took the tea and did not speak.

Ying Xiang kneels down.

"For so many years, thanks to the care of the young master, you should have nothing to repay. When you leave, kowtow to the young master." She gently kowtowed three heads to Chu Zhao, and each knock seemed to weigh more than a thousand gold.

After the last knock, she bent down for a long time and didn't get up.

Chu Zhao didn't stop her movement. After a long time, Ying Xiang stood up again. She saluted Chu Zhao, "well, the maid will go back to the room to collect her salute. Take care of yourself, young master."

After that, I will go out.

"Yingxiang." Chu Zhao called her name.

Ying Xiang stopped and looked back. Suddenly, there was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes. The expectation was very secret, but at night, it was brighter than the stars.

Chu Zhao avoided her eyes, as if he could not bear to look again. After a moment's silence, he uttered two words.

"Take care."

……

He Yan didn't know about the Chu family.

These days, all her attention is focused on the end of the Xu family. Money can make ghosts move the mill. Driven by silver, Fuwang finally found mother Qin's whereabouts a few days earlier than he had said before.

When he Yan got the news and went to the tea house near Xu's house, Fuwang came forward with a smile on his face, as if he had done something proud of himself and couldn't wait to ask for a reward.

He Yan saw him so, knowing that there must be a great harvest, heart is also a joy, he asked: "but there is a whereabouts?"

"Young master," Fuwang was very good at coming to the scene. He didn't say the result of the incident. He only talked about the hardships and dangers of his investigation these days, and then he said, "I bet my life to do things for you. You can't help feeling hurt. "

He Yan smiles and puts the last silver in his sleeve on the table. At this point, she is also a poor man. But in front of Fuwang's face, we still have to put on a suit.

"Brother, I'm sure you'll do me good. The money is just a small sum. If you can do more things for me in the future, it will not be spent. "

Fuwang smell speech, eyes a bright, the heart has the bottom. He was afraid to finish the business and the mysterious man would disappear. It's so easy to get money that I want to do a long-term business. This person's meaning, there are other things to do for himself, Fuwang's heart is a bit happy.

"I have already inquired about the whereabouts of mother Qin. Mother Qin had a good friend who had lived in the cattle farm outside the city. However, I heard that they did not live in niujiazhuang since mother Qin ran away to find her. The best friend, Niu, turned out to be a blacksmith. The blacksmith had a relative who lived in a barren mountain more than ten miles away from niujiazhuang. The mountain was so big that it was not so easy to find someone. But they live in the mountains, and they always change food and oil. On the tenth day of every month, the blacksmith goes down the mountain to buy food in the nearby market. "That day, he sold some food in the iron shop, and asked the iron workers to do some work."

"If you want to find mother Qin, you can first go to the Chang Mao iron shop. On the tenth day of the first day, when the cow blacksmith goes down the mountain, he can find the cow blacksmith. Only the blacksmith knows where mother Qin is. " Fuwang cunning smile, "as for how to let the cow blacksmith open his mouth, depends on how the childe intends to do."

"Are you really telling me the news?" He Yan asked.

"It's true. How dare I cheat you?" Fuwang said: "it's just that now my uncle is also asking people to find out the whereabouts of mother Qin. It's a small thing that we have to go through many ways to find out here. We may not be able to find out. If you are in a hurry, you'd better hurry to the iron shop. If you're the one who gets ahead of the rest... "

He didn't really mean to be considered by the mysterious man in front of him. He was just afraid that the mysterious man could not find mother Qin and disappear. In the future, he would not have the money he could easily earn for his spending.

He Yan is also a little excited, she originally came to Xu's family, just to find evidence, did not expect to find a living. But now Fuwang actually inquired so carefully, which is really a surprise.

"You did a good job of it."When he was praised, Fuwang was elated. He seemed to see the white money pouring towards him. He said, "it's a small blessing to do things for the young master. If you have anything else, you can't do anything else, that is, be diligent. It would be great if you could help him."

If you don't say it's OK, he Yan really thinks of another thing. After hesitating for a while, she began to ask, "do you know what's wrong with the old lady Xu in your family recently?"

"Granny?" Fuwang a Leng, more and more feel in front of the people do not understand. It was said that Aunt he had been his best friend in the past. Now, how could this granny Xu have something to do with him? In this way, his uncle's head is not covered with green clouds. For a moment, Fuwang is very sympathetic to Xu Zhiheng.

He Yan didn't know that the boy had already run away from his mind. He only asked, "don't you know about grandma Xu?"

"The little one is just a doorkeeper," Fu Wang said with a smile. "The old granny's yard is full of maids and maids, and there are very few servants. Young master, I really want to know. I can run errands, but... "

"But what?" He Yan asked.

On that day, he ran into the second lady of he and he Xinying in Yuhua temple. Not long after she met the assassin, he Yan thought about it and felt that he Rufei had something to do with it. Although he Xinying doesn't know anything, but he Rufei's caution may not let her go. Although he didn't get along with this sister for a long time, he Yan didn't want her to have an accident.

"But she seems to be tired these days and hasn't gone out much. My wife didn't take her with her when she went out Fuwang road.

He Yan's heart is tight.

Mrs. Xu doesn't take he Xinying when she goes out. It's nothing, but after she went to Yuhua temple People can't help but guess that he Xinying is under house arrest by Xu's family.

"Fuwang," Heyan looked at the person in front of him, "I ask you to do one more thing for me, staring at granny Xu. If there is anything wrong with granny Xu, please go to the teahouse to find the pockmarked man in the teahouse and let him know. "

Although Fuwang had doubts, he still nodded, "OK."

After the matter was explained, they left separately. He Yan left first, Fuwang left later. Fuwang didn't notice when he left. In front of a silk shop on the opposite corner, there was a figure hidden behind the column in front of the shop. When his figure disappeared, he came out.

It's a woman in black.

……

At night, the door of Xiao's study was opened and someone came in from outside.

Xiao Jue hung the sword back on the wall and took off her clothes. As soon as she turned around, someone knocked on the door.

"In."

What came in was a phoenix in black.

Xiao Jue didn't look at her and went to the desk, where there was a pile of letters. He picked up several letters and flipped them over.

Luan shadow way: "young master let subordinate inquire, already had eyebrow."

The young man was pulling out a piece of writing paper. He did not look up and said, "how?"

Luan shadow some hesitation.

Xiao Jue made a movement on her hand and glanced at her.

With this one eye, Luan Ying made up his mind and said in a low voice, "my subordinates have been guarding the door of Xu's house for three days. Today I have arrived at Miss He."

There was a quiet sound of needle dropping in the room.

"Miss he and Xu's doorkeeper sat in the nearby teahouse for half an hour before leaving. My subordinates have asked the teahouse staff. They have met several times before. "

Xiao Jue put the letter in his hand on the table, sat down on the chair, looked at her and said, "what have you found?"

"The gatekeeper's name is Fuwang. Recently, he has a lot of money in his hand. He wants to find a man named mother Qin in the Xu family. Mother Qin was once the nurse of Xu Zhiheng's favorite concubine he Wanru, but after he Wanru died, mother Qin disappeared

"My subordinates guess that miss he gave Fuwang a sum of money and asked Fuwang to inquire about mother Qin's whereabouts. But strangely, Xu Zhiheng, the uncle of the Xu family, is looking for mother Qin everywhere now. "

Luan shadow finish saying, also dare not see Xiao Jue's look. It is not good news for Xiao Jue that he Yan has an indistinct relationship with the Xu family behind his back. A woman with many secrets is always suspicious.

"The name of mother Qin seems to be very important." The young man was playing with the paper-weight in his hand. Under the shadow of the oil lamp, he could not see what his expression was.

"Has mother Qin's whereabouts been found?"

Luan shadow nodded: "found."
