Chapter 147

"Is there Chai Anxi's whereabouts?"

Ying Xiang shook her head. "I heard that Meng Jiwang's daughter is now sending people around to search for Chai Anxi's whereabouts."

Chuzhao did not care about a smile: "Xiao Huaijin to Jiyang, but also to find people." After a pause, she asked the woman on the side of her body: "who is Liu Buzhang?"

"I haven't heard of this person's name before. It's clearly the martial master of commander Xiao."

"Where does Xiao Huaijin come from, Master Wu?"

Ying Xiang also nodded: "but they seem to have great trust in Mr. Liu."

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

"I see." After a moment, Yingxiang hesitated and said, "but how do you plan to treat miss he?" Although he had learned from Chu Zhao that he Yan was a girl, and he had been prepared for it, he did not feel real until he saw his daughter through the window. It's really difficult to connect the young girl in front of her with the cool and cold youth in her memory.

"Don't you think it's wonderful that Xiao Huaijin has a woman around her?" Chu Zhao smiles. "I really want to know how much this woman can be trusted by him."

Should xiangdiao eyes, do not speak, only tea in the tea cup curl hot air, quickly into the air, no trace to find.

……

At the other end, the people in the room sat separately.

"This is the uto people's defense map." He Yan hands the scroll to Liu Bu Bu.

"The fourth childe of Shi Jinbo's family has brought news that the uto will attack Jiyang soon, but I don't know whether it is true or not. Master, look at this military defense map. What's the problem? "

Liu did not forget to look at it for a moment and put down the scroll in his hand: "I don't know whether this picture is true or not. However, if the uto really want to attack Jiyang, they will start with the canal, as shown in the picture."

After all, the most important thing in Jiyang city is this canal. To cut off the canal is to cut off the lifeblood of a city.

"Mr. Liu once said that it was after the uto people that they came to Jiyang." "Xiao Jue looks to Liu not to forget," can say, among them reason. "

Liu didn't forget to think about it and then said, "every year before and after the water god Festival, I will go back to Jiyang to have a look. This year has not been to Jiyang, in Jiyang City, encountered a massacre. Someone took advantage of the night to kill a village people outside the city, put on the clothes of the people in Chuang Tzu, and entered the city with a false identity. One of the children who escaped by a fluke told me that I thought it was the enemy's revenge or murder and robbery. On the way, I found that some of them were not from the Wei Dynasty. It's not a matter of a day and a night for these uto people to come into the city disguised as civilians. What I can find is a small number of them. I'm afraid that before that, many people outside the city have been poisoned. In Jiyang City, there are also many Utopians disguised. "

"Master said, there have been a lot of utoes coming in?" He Yan asked.

Liu did not forget: "yes, they have been planning for a long time. Just waiting for the water god festival to make a mess, I will take away my little highness. I just planned to be messed up by you, so I should soon "not fight," Lin Shuanghe was surprised, "then my sister he's military knowledge is so good, I thought it was a famous teacher and an excellent apprentice. Why, my sister he is self-taught

He Yan's embarrassed smile: "excellent talent, maybe I was a female general in my last life, so I can do it by one point!"

Xiao chuckled and did not speak.

"I will continue to trace the whereabouts of those utos these days." Liu didn't forget to say, "if you find their heads, you may be able to solve a lot of things. As for the city gate troops of Jiyang, they will be handed over to governor Xiao. " Liu does not forget to look at Xiao Jue. He already knows Xiao Jue's identity. "The number of soldiers in the city gate is not dominant. Xiao Dudu takes much trouble. The people in Jiyang are entrusted with your care."

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

They also said something about the uto people. Xiao Jue will go to train the Chengmen army of Jiyang city from tomorrow. The time is very short. It is not easy for him. Liu buforget continues to track down the whereabouts of the uto people. Lin Shuanghe could not expect him to do anything. Just stay in Cui's house and wait for him. As for Heyan, he has become the most embarrassing one. She wanted to go with Xiao Jue to see the Chengmen army, but mu Hongjin didn't let her go. I don't know if something would happen. I just made another copy of the plan. I plan to spend the night to see if I can set up a new array according to the terrain of Jiyang. If the plan is true, it will be twice as good with half the effort. If it is false, it can just find the loopholes in it, so as not to be cheated.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw a beautiful maid standing under a tree in the courtyard outside the gate. It was the maid who was close to Chu Zhao who was Yingxiang. She did not know how long she had stood here. She saw people coming out and went straight to Heyan and said, "Miss He."

He Yan returned the ceremony.

"You have something to say to miss he." Ying Xiang said with a smile: "I'm waiting in the front hall. Do you have time for miss he?"

He Yan looks back. Lin Shuanghe waves her hand slightly, indicating that she doesn't want to go. Xiao Jue looks calm and can't see what he is thinking. Ying Xiang saw this and said with a smile: "the young master said that there was some misunderstanding with Miss He before. He wanted to clarify with miss he himself. When I was in Liangzhou guard last time, I left without saying goodbye to the girl. It's very impolite. I hope you don't care about it. Today's power should be an apology. "He Yan didn't pay attention to the small matter of leaving without saying goodbye. There are so many things in Liangzhou Weili, where can we find the details. The childe of Shi Jinbo's family, however, remembers clearly that she is so kind. If she takes Qiao again, she will be a bit ungrateful. Besides He Yan really wanted to know what kind of status and position Chu Zhao came to Liangzhou Wei, and whether the so-called fight against the uto people was his speech or other purposes.

Thinking of this, he readily replied, "yes."

Lin Shuanghe's face changed greatly: "sister he!"

"Thank you for your tolerance." Yingxiang was overjoyed.

"Governor, I'll go and have a look first," Heyan said to Xiao Jue, "you don't have to wait for me to have dinner in the evening." Then he said goodbye to Liu Bu: "master, I'll go first."

Lin Shuanghe still wants to dissuade him, but he Yan has already followed Ying Xiang. Liu didn't forget to have something to do. She just saluted Xiao Jue and left with her.

After they left, Lin Shuanghe asked Xiao Jue, "are you just letting her go?"

"Otherwise?"

"That's Chu Zilan! Sister he didn't like him before. He liked to go to see the moon when he was out of his wits. Such irresponsible Heartbreakers actually came back to see my sister he. Look at it. He will try again and move my sister he's daughter with a gentle attack. "

"That's not very good." Xiao Jue turned around and said lazily, "the swindler finally gets what he wants."

"Don't you worry?" Lin Shuanghe shook his fan and followed him closely. "If Chu Zilan saw my sister he's red make-up so amazing that she became a beast, what would he do to her

Xiao Jue went into the room and poured himself a cup of tea. He said casually, "what misunderstanding do you have about Chu Zilan's eyes? That liar's red makeup can stand up to two words of astonishment?"

"Why not Lin Shuanghe indignant, "Xiao Huaijin, you can't take your own face to compare the world people."

Xiao Jue was too lazy to pay attention to him, and said, "what's more, Chu Zilan did bad things to her?" His eyes flashed a trace of irony, "that guy can wring Chu Zilan's head with his bare hands. It's better to worry about Chu Zilan than to worry about her innocence."

Lin Shuanghe:

……

He Yan meets Chu Zilan in the front hall.

Seeing her coming, Chu Zilan got up with a smile and said, "Miss He."

"Fourth master of Chu." He Yan also returned the ceremony.

It's dark, and the night in Jiyang city is bustling. Chu Zhao looked outside and said, "go out for a walk?"

He Yan didn't know what medicine he sold in his gourd, but Cui's house was full of people, which made it inconvenient to speak. He Yan said, "good."

They went out of the house.

The spring night in Jiyang is warm and harmonious. Along the two banks of the river, hawkers carry lanterns and hawk along the streets. Pavilions are scattered and the scenery is winding. It can be said that "between villages and alleys, string pipe singing, feast society, day and night meet.".

But it seems that in such a soft and prosperous night, I don't know how many murders are hidden. Under the smiling peddler's face, I don't know how many Utopians harboring evil intentions. Such a thought, then feel no matter how lively and interesting scenery all become boring, he Yan's eyebrows, can't help wrinkling up.

"Is miss he angry?" Chu Zhao on his side spoke softly.

"How?" She was a little surprised.

"Why did the girl frown and worry when she went out together?"

He Yan chuckled: "no, I just think about the utuo people and have a heart to worry about it."

After a moment's silence, Chu Zhao said, "don't worry about Miss He. Your royal highness will arrange everything well. What's more, there is also governor Xiao, isn't there?"

He praised Xiao Jue, but Heyan tried to test him. He asked, "I thought the fourth master of Chu and our governor were not very good at each other."

"Governor Xiao has some misunderstandings about me." Chu Zhao smiles: "however, he and I have a slightly different position. Each is his own master. "

How could you admit that? He Yan has some accidents.

"But on the matter of uto, I am in line with governor Shaw. Miss he doesn't have to worry, "Chu Zhao said," I'm from the great Wei Dynasty. Naturally, I don't want to see the rivers and mountains of the great Wei Dynasty invaded by other nations. "

He Yan nodded: "it's natural. There is no egg under the nest. It should have been consistent with the outside world. "

"If I say that, miss he is relieved?" He asked.

He Yan: "Why say to rest assured?"

"I won't hurt governor Xiao, and miss he doesn't have to be on my guard for governor Xiao's affairs."

He Yan laughed two times: "the fourth childe of Chu is worried, I didn't pay attention to you."

"Is it?" Chu Zhao was a little sad with a smile, "but since this meeting, you will no longer call me" brother Chu ". You will call me the fourth childe of Chu. It seems that you are trying to draw a clear line."

Is that ok? He Yan then said: "no matter, if you feel bad, I can call back your brother Chu.""Can I call you ah Ho?"

He Yan was stunned for a moment.

The young man's smile is particularly gentle, such as a faint and harmless orchid blooming at night. In the spring night of Jiyang, his clothes and robes are fragrant and his face is clear and handsome. Passers-by can't help but look at him, which is really noticeable. It's hard to say heavy words to such a good-looking and good-natured person. He Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "if you want to call like this, just call it like this."

Chuzhao's eyes flashed with a smile, and he Yan continued to walk along the river bank, saying: "before, I haven't made amends to ahe. On that day, I made an appointment to go with you to baiyueshan for a drink, but I was temporarily busy and failed to keep the appointment. On the second day, I started early and didn't even have time to say goodbye to ah he. Later in shuojing, I always feel very regretful when I think about it. "

"You don't have to worry about such trifles." He Yan said: "besides, you are not intentional. I am not angry about it." If not for Chu Zhao, she would not have gone to the foot of Baiyue mountain that night, nor would she have waited for Xiao Jue. What's more, she did not know that the person who rescued her from the darkness on the top of the mountain behind the Yuhua temple was Xiao Jue.

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise?

"Ah he doesn't care. He has a broad mind." Chu Zhao smiles, "but I can't take this as if it didn't happen. I must make amends to ahe." He looked forward. "I'll give him something."

He Yan one Zheng: "what?"

Chu Zhao stretched out his hand. On the palm of his hand lay a small tassel, which was decorated with a very delicate pomegranate flower, carved with ruby, and scattered with red tassels under it. Although it was small, it was very clever.

"When I was at the gate of the palace today, I saw a whip on his waist." Chu Zhao looked at her mildly, "I once got a flower spike by luck, but I don't know how to use martial arts, and I don't have any weapons in my body. It's a pity to put them in my place. But this flower spike matches ah he's whip very well. Ah he has a try to see if it will be better? "

He Yan subconsciously refused, "you don't have to be paid for nothing. Brother Chu, forget it. Besides, it doesn't look cheap." The ruby is small, and its color is transparent. Who knows if it will be a "hundreds of gold"? Her hands are short. She takes something here all day long and receives a "small gift" there. I don't know. She thinks she really comes to cheat on food and drink.

"Ah he called me" brother Chu ", that is, when I was a friend, it was very common to give gifts among friends. What's more, ahe is worried about it. The flower spike is not expensive, and the jade is also fake. He doesn't have to bear any burden. It's useless to leave this thing with me. Ah he doesn't want it. But if you dislike me, or in my heart, you still regard me as the enemy? "

He Yan hesitated for a moment, even though he was slightly accusing and wronged. He Yan hesitated: "is this pomegranate flower and fruit really fake jade?"

Chu Zhao laughed: "if ah he wants real jade, I may have to raise some silver."

Since it is fake jade, it is not very valuable, so it should be accepted more easily. He Yan said with a smile, "thank you very much, brother Chu." She stretched out her hand to take down the purple jade whip from her waist and tied the flower spikes on the wooden handle of the purple jade whip. The black oil whip suddenly became more flexible and looked good-looking.

"It matches ah he's whip." Chu Zhao said with a smile.

"There is a return of courtesy. Since brother Chu sent me a flower spike, I should also send him something back." He Yan felt that he was short handed. If he didn't send back, he always felt that he had taken advantage of Chu Zhao. She said, "I can give brother Chu whatever he likes in the night market today." After that, he reached into his sleeve and touched his poor string of coppers. He added, "but I was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring too much silver. Brother Chu Look at the choice. "

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

Chu Zhao couldn't help laughing and looked at her: "OK."

He Yan walked with him. The night market in Jiyang was very busy. There were everything from eating and drinking snacks to rouge and gouache, old books and ancient books to rusty weapons. The two of them were beautiful, and when they passed by, they received warm greetings.

Walking to the end of the road ahead, you can see a group of people around a vendor. He Yan follows chuzhao to see that he is a sugar painter. The peddler was a young man, dressed in clean blue cloth, sitting in front of the stall, with a clean stone slab in front of him, boiling crystal red syrup in a big pot beside him. He scooped a spoonful of syrup in the pot with a big iron spoon and poured it on the stone slab. His movements were very fast. The iron spoon was undulating in his hand, like a brush. The sugar thread that fell down outlined complex or exquisite patterns. It was quickly cast into shape. Then he scooped up the pictures on the stone plate with a small shovel and stuck bamboo sticks.

"This is a sugar cake." He Yan is happy, "did not expect Jiyang also has."

In the past, when she was in shuojing, there was a temple fair every year. Because of her delicate status, she was afraid that she would be exposed, so she would not go to places where there were many people. Therefore, she had never been to a temple fair. I can only wait for my sisters to come back from the temple fair and listen to them talk about the lively scenes and new things in the temple fair. "Pour sugar cake" is the same. There is a master who makes "pour sugar cake" in shuojing. He Yan always looks forward to it every time he listens to them. On one occasion, he begged Madame He Da to take one for her. Maybe she was so pitiful and eager that she could take one for her. Madame Heda also moved a little compassion and really brought one for her from the temple fair. He Yan still remembers the design of a bird. She was reluctant to eat it. She put the sugar man in the pen holder. However, the weather was hot, but it melted in two days. The syrup was sticky and greasy, and she was reprimanded by Mrs. he.She didn't feel dirty at that time, but she was very sorry to get it. She thought, if only this sugar painting could last longer.

When I was young, I didn't see any new things. I didn't expect to see them in Jiyang. And look at the young man's craft, want to come and shuojing that teacher Fu is also comparable. He Yan pulls Chu Zhao to the front. He sees that many sugar paintings have been inserted on the grass buttress on one side. They all look very auspicious flowers, birds, Phoenix, birds and animals. They are lifelike.

Chu Zhao took a look at Heyan, then suddenly laughed and said, "I like this very much. If he wants to give me something, why don't you send me a sugar painting?"

"Do you like this? What's the difficulty? " Heyan is very heroic, a wave of his hand: "brother, what is the most expensive sugar painting here?" There is a word next to it, clearly marked price, two Wen one, she brought a lot of copper money, how can it be enough.

The stall owner said with a smile, "the most expensive one is the flower basket, which is eight Wen in total. Do you want one? "

What is a flower basket? He Yan asked Chu Zhao, "do you think it's OK, brother Chu?"

Chu Zhao suppressed his smile: "this is good."

"Little brother," He Yan discharged eight Wen copper coins, "please make a flower basket, do more beautiful."

"No problem!" said the peddler

He scooped a spoonful of syrup from the pot, made a thin round cake, cast a circle of sugar line on the round cake, and slowly drew the outline vertically. He Yan could not blink his eyes, watching the flower basket from a flat bottom at the beginning, becoming rich and vivid. With a basket and a handle, the peddler is very sincere and adds a lot of flowers to his hands. He Yan counted roses, daffodils, chrysanthemums, peach blossoms, lotus flowers Not a season of flowers, are piled up in a basket, lively and gorgeous.

He Yan looked at it and saw the basket filled up a little bit. He had a whim and asked the peddler, "brother, this flower basket is for my friend. Can you write my friend's name on the flower basket?"

"Of course

Chu Zhao, smiling slightly: "ah he, this is not necessary..."

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

"Good Listen? "

"Yes," He Yan nodded, "Zhao means light, and Zi Lan means vanilla. The person who takes this name for you must love you very much. I hope that your conduct will be noble and your future will be bright. Only in this way can we choose such elegant words for you. "

Chu Zhao was stunned. The girl turned around and said to the peddler, "brother, please write it. Zi Lan is good."
