"Can there be Chai Anxi's whereabouts?"

Ying Xiang shook his head, "The servant girl inquired that the Queen of Mengji is now sending people to search for Chai Anxi's whereabouts."

Chu Zhao smiled indifferently: "Xiao Huaijin came to Jiyang just to find someone." After a pause, he asked the woman beside him: "Who is Liu Buwang?"

"I haven't heard of this person's name before, but it is Master Wu of Governor Xiao Du."

"Where did Xiao Huaijin come from Master Wu."

Ying Xiang also nodded: "But they seem to trust that Mr. Liu very much."

Chu Zhao put down the tea cup in his hand: "These are not important. The most important thing is to find Chai Anxi before Xiao Huaijin."

"The slave and maid got it." After a while, Ying Xiang hesitated and said: "It's just that the son is going to treat Girl He?" Although he had already learned from Chu Zhao that He Yan is a girl, he was already prepared. But it didn't seem to have a sense of reality until He Yan's daughter was actually seen through the window. It is really difficult to connect the petite and weak girl in front of me with the savage boy in memory.

"Don't you think Xiao Huaijin has a woman next to her. It's amazing?" Chu Zhao smiled slightly, "I want to know how far this woman can be trusted by him."

Ying Xiang lowered his eyes and stopped talking. Only the tea in the tea cup wafted warmly, and quickly escaped into the air without a trace.

……

On the other side, everyone in the room is sitting.

"This is the Utuo's military defense map." He Yan handed the scroll to Liu Buwang to read.

"The Fourth Young Master from Shijin Bo's Mansion has brought news that the Utuo will attack Jiyang soon, but now I don’t know if it is true or not. Master looks at this military defense map, what's the problem?"

Liu Bulong looked at it for a moment and put down the scroll in his hand: "I don't know if this picture is true or not, but if the Utuo really want to attack Jiyang, they will indeed start from the canal as shown in the picture."

After all, the most important thing in Jiyang city is this canal. To break the canal is to break the lifeline of a city.

"Mr. Liu said before that it was to trace the Utuo people to Jiyang." Xiao Jue looked at Liu Buwang, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Liu Bu-forgetting thought about it, and then said: "Every year before and after the Water God Festival, I will go back to Jiyang to have a look. I haven't been to Jiyang this year. I encountered a massacre outside Jiyang city. Some people took advantage of it. At night, he killed all the people in a village outside the city, put on the clothes of the people in the village, and entered the city as an identity. One of the children who escaped by chance told me about it. I thought it was an enemy seeking revenge, or murdering people and robbing money, and looking for it. On the way, it was discovered that several people were not big Wei people. These Utuo pretended to be civilians and mixed into the city. It did not happen overnight. I can find only a few people. I am afraid that many people outside the city have been poisoned before this. In the city of Jiyang, there are also many Utopians who have been disguised."

"Master meant that many Utuo people have already come in?" He Yan asked.

Liu Bu-forgetting said: "Yes, they have been planning for a long time. They just waited for the chaos on the Water God Festival, and then abducted the little majesty. It was just a plan to be disrupted by you, so it should be second soon. Hands-on."

"Master Liu meant that there will be a war in Jiyang city soon?" Lin Shuanghe said nervously, "Isn't it very unsafe here?

"Don't worry." He Yan comforted him: "Mengji Prince and Daughter mentioned to us that they would evacuate the people from the city to a safer place in the past few days. Brother Lin followed Jiyang City There will be nothing wrong with the people."

Lin Shuanghe was at ease now, but immediately showed a righteous expression. Said: "What follows the people in the city? Am I the one who is greedy for life and fear of death? Naturally, I want to advance and retreat together with my brothers, and live and die together. Don't persuade me, I must be with you. Never live alone."

He Yan was speechless for a moment before he said to Liu Bulong: "Master, the Mengji Queen handed over the city gate army to the governor. Would you like to take a look at it?"

"Ahe, have you forgotten," Liu Buxiang was a little helpless, "I can only set up battles, not wars."

This is also true. Liu Buwang knows Qimen Dunjia and can bow swords and guns, but they are all the skills of one person. Back then, He Yan taught her Qimen Dunjia and used it in the formation of troops. Only then gradually developed a set of own rules.

"I can't fight," Lin Shuanghe was surprised, "Then my sister He has such a good memorial book. I thought she was a master student from a famous teacher. Why, my sister He is self-taught?"

He Yan smiled awkwardly: "I am so talented, maybe I was a female general in my previous life, so let's get through it!"

Xiao Jue sneered and did not speak.

"I will continue to trace the whereabouts of those Utuo people in the next few days." Liu Buwang said, "I found their heads, and promised to solve a lot of things. As for the city gate army in Jiyang, I will hand it over. To Governor Xiao." Liu Buwang looked at Xiao Jue. He now knows the identity of Xiao Jue. "The number of the city gate army is not dominant. Governor Xiao bother, the people of Jiyang, I will leave it to you to take care of it." /

He seems to have deep feelings for Jiyang, Xiao Jue nodded.

Everyone said something about the Utuo. Xiao Jue will go to train the city gate army in Jiyang City from tomorrow. The time is very short and it is not an easy task for him. Liu Buwang continued to track down the whereabouts of the Utuo. Lin Shuanghe couldn't expect him to do anything, so he stayed in Cui Mansion on standby. As for He Yan, he became the most embarrassing one. She deliberately wanted to follow Xiao Jue to see the city gate army, but Mu Hongjin didn't let her go. I wonder if anything will happen. I simply printed another copy of the military defense map, and planned to see overnight to see if a new formation could be deployed according to Jiyang's topography. If the military defense map was true, it would be much better with less effort. If it is false, the loopholes can be found, and it will not be fooled.

After speaking, everyone planned to leave. As soon as they pushed the door open, they saw a beautiful maid standing under the tree in the yard outside the door. It was Chu Zhao's personal maid Yingxiang. She didn't know how long she had been standing here, and when she saw everyone coming out, she stepped forward and bowed to He Yan: "Miss He."

He Yan returned the gift.

"The son has something to say to Girl He." Ying Xiang smiled and said: "Waiting in the front hall, can Girl He have time?"

He Yan looked back, Lin Shuanghe waved her hand slightly to signal her not to go, but Xiao Jue looked calm and couldn't see any thoughts. Ying Xiang said with a smile: "The son said that he had some misunderstandings with Ms. He before and wanted to clarify with Ms. He in person. When I was in Liangzhou Wei last time, I left without saying goodbye to the girl. It was very rude and hopeful. Girl, don’t care about it, today’s right should be an apologize."

He Yan didn't care about the trivial matter of leaving without saying goodbye. There are so many things in Liangzhou Weili, where is the time to investigate these minutiae. The prince of the dignified Shijin Bo's mansion, but remembers this clearly, is so good and so angry, if she picks Joe again, it would seem a little bit ignorant. Besides... He Yan did want to know what identity and position Chu Zhao is now in to come to Liangzhouwei, and whether he used his rhetoric to deal with Utuo or had another purpose.

Thinking about this, he gladly replied: "Okay."

Lin Shuanghe's face changed drastically: "Sister He!"

"Thank you son for tolerance." Ying Xiang was overjoyed.

"The Governor, I will go and see first," He Yan said to Xiao Jue: "You don't have to wait for me to eat at night." After that, he said goodbye to Liu Buwang: "Master, I'll go first." /

Lin Shuanghe wanted to dissuade a few more words, but He Yan had already followed Ying Xiang. Liu Buqiang still had something to do, and he just bowed to Xiao Jue and left afterwards.

After they left, Lin Shuanghe asked Xiao Jue: "You just let her go like this?"

"Otherwise?"

"That's Chu Zilan! Sister He didn't like him until he was so desperate, and when someone missed his appointment, he still went to see the moon alone. This kind of unresponsible person who turned his head back to my sister He, you see Go ahead, he will repeat the same trick again and touch my sister He's daughter with a gentle offensive!"

"That's not very good." Xiao Jue turned around, lazily mocking: "The liar finally got what he wanted."

"Aren't you worried?" Lin Shuanghe shook his fan and followed him closely, "If Chu Zilan sees my sister He Hongzhuang is so amazing, she will suddenly become beastly, and do anything bad to her sister He. What to do?"

Xiao Jue entered the room, poured himself a cup of tea, and said casually: "Do you have a misunderstanding of Chu Zilan's vision? That liar's red makeup deserves the word stunning?"

"Why isn't it amazing?" Lin Shuanghe was angrily, "Xiao Huaijin, you can't compare your face to the people of the world."

Xiao Jue was too lazy to pay attention to him, and only said: "Besides, Chu Zilan did bad things to her?" A trace of sarcasm flashed across his eyes, "That guy can screw off Chu Zilan's head with his bare hands, instead of worrying about her. Innocent, it is better to worry about Chu Zilan."

Lin Shuanghe: "..."

……

He Yan met Chu Zilan in the front hall.

When Chu Zilan saw her coming, she smiled and got up and said: "Miss He."

"The fourth son of Chu." He Yan also returned the gift.

The sky has darkened, and the night in Jiyang City is also lively and bustling. Chu Zhao looked outside and said, "Go for a walk?"

He Yan also doesn't know what medicine he sells in the gourd, but Cuifu has a lot of people and it is inconvenient to speak. He Yan said in a convenient way: "Okay."

The two walked out of the house.

Jiyang’s spring night is warm and warm. Along the banks of the river, vendors carry lanterns and sell them along the street. The pavilions are scattered and the scenery is beautiful. It can be said that "between the villages and alleys, the chorus singing, the feast society, day and night".

It's just that in the soft and bustling night that looks like this, I don't know how many murderous intents are hidden, people come and go under the smiles of the hawkers, and I don't know how many utopians are hiding evil intentions. Thinking about it this way, I felt that no matter how lively and interesting the scene was, He Yan's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.

"Ms. He is so angry?" Chu Zhao next to him said softly.

"Why?" She was a little surprised.

"Then why are the girls frowning and worrying about going out together?"

He Yan laughed: "No, I just thought about the Utuo people, so I was worried."

After a moment of silence, Chu Zhaocai said: "Miss He, don't worry, Her Royal Highness will arrange everything, not to mention, there is also Governor Xiao, right?"

He did not hesitate to praise Xiao Jue. He Yan was tempted and asked: "I thought the fourth master of Chu was not in line with our governor."

"The Governor Xiao has a bit of a misunderstanding about Zi Xia." Chu Zhao smiled: "However, his position is slightly different from that of Zi Xia. Each is his own."

You admit it like this? He Yan was a little surprised.

"But on the issue of Utuo, I and Governor Xiao have the same position. Girl He doesn't need to worry," Chu Zhao said, "I am from Wei people, so naturally I don't want to see Da Wei's rivers and mountains being invaded by foreign races. "

He Yan nodded: "That's natural, there is no end of eggs under the covering nest. It should be the same to the outside."

"I said so, can Miss He feel relieved?" he asked.

He Yan: "Why don't you worry?"

"I won't hurt Governor Xiao, and Miss He doesn't have to be on the side of Governor Xiao and beware of me a lot."

He Yan laughed dryly: "The Fourth Young Master Chu is too worried, I am not wary of you."

"Really?" Chu Zhao smiled a little sadly, "But since this time I met, you no longer call me'Brother Chu,' the fourth son of Chu. It sounds like you are deliberately drawing a line." /

This also works? He Yan said: "Nothing, if you feel bad, I can call you Brother Chu back again."

"Then can I call you Ahe?"

He Yan was taken aback for a moment.

The young man smiles very mildly, like a quiet, harmless orchid blooming at night. In the spring night in Jiyang, his robe is fragrant and his face is clear and handsome. Passers-by cannot help but look. His glance was really noticeable. It is really hard to say anything serious to such a good-looking and good-tempered person. He Yan hesitated for a moment, and said, "You want to call it like this, just call it like this."

A smile flashed across Chu Zhao’s eyes, and He Yan continued to walk along the river bank, saying: “I haven’t made amends with Ahe for the previous matter. That day, I made an appointment to go to Baiyue Mountain for a drink with you, but I didn’t make it to the appointment, and I left early the next day. I didn’t even have time to say goodbye to Ahe. Later when I thought about it in Shuojing, I always regretted it."

"Brother Chu don't have to worry about these trivial matters." He Yan said, "Besides, you didn't mean it. I was not angry because of it." If it weren't for Chu Zhao, she would not go to the foot of Baiyue Mountain that night. I would not wait for Xiao Jue, let alone know that on the top of the mountain behind Yuhua Temple, the person who redeemed her from the darkness was Xiao Jue.

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise?

"Ahe doesn't care, it's Ahe who is broad-minded." Chu Zhao smiled slightly, "I can't assume this has never happened. I must make amends with Ahe." He looked forward, "I give it to Ahe is the same thing."

He Yan was startled: "What?"

Chu Zhao stretched out his hand, and there was a small tassel lying in the palm of his palm. The tassel was decorated with a very delicate pomegranate flower, carved from red jade, with red tassel tassels scattered on the bottom. Although it was small, it was very clever.

"At the gate of the palace today, I saw Ahe wearing a long whip around his waist." Chu Zhao looked at her kindly, "I was lucky enough to get a flower spike, but I don't know how to use martial arts. It's a pity that the weapon is in my body. It's a pity to put it with me. However, this flower ear matches Ahe's long whip very well. Ahe will try it and see if it will be better?"

He Yan subconsciously refused, "You won’t be rewarded for nothing, Brother Chu, let’s forget it, besides, this thing doesn’t look cheap." The red jade is small, and the color is as transparent as rosy, who knows Will it be another "hundreds of gold"? With short hands, she took something here all day long, and received a "thin gift" there. I didn't know, and thought she was really here to cheat and drink.

"Ahe called me'Brother Chu', that is, when I am a friend, it is very common to give gifts between friends. Besides, Ahe Duo Xi, this flower ear is not expensive, this jade is also fake , Ahe doesn’t have to be burdened. It’s useless to leave this thing with me. Ahe doesn’t want it, but he dislikes the next, or deep down, still regards the next as an enemy?"

Even if it is a bit of accusation, he said it is gentle and calm. He Yan hesitated: "Is this pomegranate flower and fruit really fake jade?"

Chu Zhao smiled: "If Ahe wants real jade, he may have to raise some money."

Since it's fake jade, it's not very expensive, so it's better to accept it. He Yan smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Chu, then." She reached out and took off the purple jade whip on her waist, and tied the flower spike to the wooden handle of the purple jade whip. .

"It really matches Ahe's whip." Chu Zhao smiled.

"Let’s come and go, since Brother Chu gave me a flower spike, I should return something like Brother Chu." He Yan felt shorthanded, if he didn’t send it back, she always felt that she was taking advantage of Chu Zhao, she said. "I can give it to Brother Chu what Brother Chu has fancy in this night market today." After saying that, he reached into his sleeve, touched his poor string of copper plates, and added with confidence." But I was in a hurry when I went out and didn't bring too many silver coins. Brother Chu... just look at the pick."

After all, I didn't bring Lin Shuanghe when I went out today, so I can't just buy it.

Chu Zhao couldn't help but smile, and looked at her: "Okay."

He Yan walked with him. Jiyang’s night market was very lively. At night, people sold everything from snacks to rouge gouache, old books and ancient books to rusty weapons. The two of them have excellent looks, and when they walked through one place, they received a warm greeting.

Walking to the end of the road ahead, a group of people can be seen surrounding a vendor. He Yan followed Chu Zhao to look and saw that it was a sugar painting. The hawker was a young man, dressed in a clean blue cloth, sitting in front of a small stall with a clean stone slab in front of him, and in a large pot beside him, boiled bright red syrup. He took a spoonful of syrup in the pot with a big iron spoon and poured it on the slate. The action was very fast. The iron spoon undulates in his hand like a paintbrush. The falling sugar silk outlines complicated or exquisite patterns, which are quickly cast into shape. , And then use a small spatula to scoop up the picture on the slate and stick the bamboo stick.

"This is sugar pie." He Yan was happy, "I didn't expect Jiyang to have it too."

When she was in Shuojing, there were temple fairs every year. Because of her delicate status, she was afraid of being exposed, so she wouldn't go to places with a lot of people. Therefore, she had never been to temple fairs. I can only wait for the sisters at home to come back from the temple fair and secretly listen to them talking about the lively scenes of the temple fair and new things. "Inverted sugar pie" is the same. Shuojing has a master who makes "Inverted sugar pie". He does an excellent job. He Yan always yearns for them every time he hears them. Once I couldn’t help but secretly begged Mrs. He if he could bring her one too. Perhaps she was pitiful and longing for her. Mrs. He also moved a bit of compassion, and she really brought it to her from the temple fair. Up one. He Yan still remembered it was a pattern of a bird. She couldn't bear to eat it. She put the sugar man in the pen holder, but the weather was hot, but it melted in two days. The syrup was sticky and greasy, and she was scolded by Mrs. He. A meal.

She didn't think it was dirty at the time, but she was a pity that she was good at fishing, thinking that if this sugar painting could last longer, it would be fine.

Fresh things that I didn't see when I was young, I didn't expect to see them in Jiyang. And looking at the young man's craftsmanship, he was no match for the master Shuojing who wanted to come. He Yan pulled Chu Zhao and squeezed forward, and on the haystack on the side, there were already a lot of sugar paintings inserted. It also looked like auspicious flowers, birds and phoenixes, birds and beasts, lifelike.

Chu Zhao glanced at He Yan, suddenly smiled, and said, "I like this very much. If Ahe wants to give me something, how about giving me a candy painting?"

"You like this? Why is it so difficult?" He Yan was very proud, and waved: "Brother, what is the most expensive sugar painting here?" There is a picture next to it, clearly marked with a price, and one in two texts. She brought a lot of copper coins, which was enough.

The stall owner smiled and said: "The most expensive one is the flower basket, which is eight cents in total. Does the girl want one?"

What is the flower basket? But it's not wrong to choose the most expensive one. He Yan asked Chu Zhao: "Brother Chu thinks it's okay?"

Chu Zhao held back his smile: "That's fine."

"Brother," He Yan gave out eight coins, "Thank you to make a flower basket, and make it more beautiful."

The hawker said: "No problem!"

He took a spoonful of syrup from the pot, first made a thin round cake, cast a circle of sugar lines on the round cake, and slowly sketched it vertically. He Yan looked intently, watching this From the beginning, the flower basket has a flat bottom, which becomes richer and more vivid. With the basket and the handle, the hawker is very sincere and adds a lot of flowers to the handle. He Yan counted, rose flowers, daffodils, chrysanthemums, peach blossoms, lotus flowers... not the flowers of the same season, they were all piled together in a basket, lively and gorgeous.

He Yan looked at it, saw the basket being filled up a little bit, and on a whim, he asked the vendor: "Brother, my flower basket is for a friend, can I write my friend's name on the flower basket? ?"

"Of course!"

Chu Zhao paused and smiled slightly: "Ahe, there is no need for this..."

"What's the matter?" He Yan puzzled, "Your name is so nice, it's a pity not to put it on the flower basket."

"Okay...listen?"

"Yes," He Yan nodded, "Zhao, it means bright, and Zilan means vanilla. The person who took this name for you must love you very much, and I hope you have a noble character and a bright future. Will take such elegant characters for you."

Chu Zhao was startled. The girl turned around and said to the hawker: "Brother, please write down if you are in trouble, Zilan is ready."
