Chapter 70 Come and Go

Among the four general managers of the Tianbian Guards, Tiger, Leopard and Bear, including their commander-in-chief Fu Zizhan, the most tactful and skillful one is Chi Zebao.

To put it bluntly, no one is to be offended.

What Chi Zebao wants is nothing more than his own glory and wealth. He will retire and return to his hometown after saving enough money, and get out of this big dyeing vat safely. Although he is now helping the fifth prince, he will never

He would offend Li Zhanchun for the sake of the fifth prince. He took Tianbian Guard's salary, managed the general ledger of Xiangsi House, and took an extra share of the fifth prince's money... all he did was "circumstances".

You can sell your life, you can sell your information, you can even sell your friends...but you won't risk yourself.

From this point of view, he is similar to He Nan. They will not be loyal to others, nor will they sacrifice their lives for others, let alone let others control their lives. In fact, these two people

There is another difference. Chi Zebao's actions were all for self-protection. He Nan...but it's hard to say.

Do you think that the Second Master Gui is Chi Zebao? In fact, that is not the case. Of course Chi Zebao could pretend to be the Second Master Gui himself, but during the three months since he left Beijing, the Second Master Gui also showed up in Xiangsi Building every day.

Three burrows of cunning rabbits... Chi Zebao knows this well. Fu Zizhan and the fifth prince only know that Chi Zebao has a "substitute", but it is difficult for them to tell clearly how many there are. The fifth prince does not care, but Fu Zizhan is careful

After thorough investigation, he gradually lowered his guard after confirming that Chi Zebao's so-called stand-in was just someone with mediocre martial arts skills, and that he pretended to be the subordinate of the Second Master Gui in Xiangsi Building. After all, Chi Zebao was also his capable subordinate.

Go-getter, he hasn't done anything harmful to himself, so let him go.

As for whether the person standing in front of Wei Kui, touching him chest to chest, was Chi Zebao... there is actually no way to say.

Returning to the present, Manager Chi still had a knife on his neck. The person who used the knife was the one who was sent into the latrine by Chi Zebao to monitor He Nan.

"Your Excellency... Since you have already drawn your sword, what's the harm in showing your face?" Chi Zebao was also a person thrown out by the strong wind and waves. Of course, he would not be frightened by the change in front of him. At this time, he gently

He turned to look at the traitor, his expression as usual.

"There's no need to show your face, you're just an unknown person." The traitor who wielded the sword relied on himself to hold the life gate of Manager Chi, so he withdrew from the encirclement of other Tianbian guards and went around to Manager Chi.

's front.

"Then can you tell Chi... how long have you been pretending to be my subordinate?" Manager Chi changed the question and continued to ask. In fact, he did not expect the other party to give him an answer. Because anyway, he

It was impossible to instigate his subordinates to rebel in just a quarter of an hour. There must have been a premeditated undercover agent beside him, but he didn't know how early the premeditation was.

However, the traitor did respond to Chi Zebao: "Two days ago, that is, when you just learned that He Nan had entered the jurisdiction of Fuyang County."

The man under the mask is about 27 or 27 years old. The sharpness and quickness of his sword attack are enough to show his extraordinary skills, and this man is Yan Chunlai.

And the reason why he could tell when he was undercover but couldn't show his true face was that he also ran away from the capital - Yan Chunlai had been in the capital these days to help Li Yushi with some things that were obviously inconvenient to go to.

But at the same time, Jiang Wenbing, who was extremely impressed by him, also launched an investigation into his identity. After Yan Chunlai had settled the matters at hand, he applied to Li Mastiff to leave the capital to avoid the limelight, and

Li Zhanchun also pointed out a way for Yan Chunlai - to go straight to Fuyang to meet He Nan.

In fact, Yan Chunlai arrived half a month earlier than He Nan, and the news about a group of people possessing information about the Jin Pavilion's trading naturally reached his ears, so he took advantage of the troubled waters and sneaked in two days ago.

Among the guards, Chi Zebao.

Speaking of which, these guards' habit of not taking off their masks, or the regulations, also helped Yan Chunlai a lot. Chi Zebao was sitting in Pinjin Pavilion, and the other guards were not so comfortable. These few

The subordinates have to inquire about all kinds of news in the city every day, and they have to deal with all the food, drink, diarrhea and sleep by themselves. As long as they come to Zebao every three days to make a summary, and for some reasons, they don't take off their masks when they meet.

This gave Yan Chunlai a chance.

The timing chosen by Yan Chunlai was also very good. After the last report, when everyone split up, he killed one of them, put on someone else's clothes and waited for He Nan to enter the city - in fact, even if He Nan was not so lucky today

I bumped into Chi Zebao, and Yan Chunlai also wanted to pass the news to He Nan.

The meeting between the two of them in the latrine today was no coincidence. At that time, all the Tianbian guards were standing at the back. Only Yan Chunlai specifically chose the position closest to the latrine, so Chi Zebao subconsciously asked him to go in and monitor He Nan.

As soon as Yan Chunlai took off his mask in front of He Nan, He Nan already knew what Brother Yan meant, so he looked confident when he finished removing his hands.

"There is something wrong with what I just said... He already knows it in his heart. Manager Chi, why don't you sit down and listen before making a plan?" He Nan brushed off the tea leaves hanging on his clothes and helped Chi Zebao up.

Kicked the wooden chair on the ground.

Chi Zebao did not immediately respond to He Nan, but turned around and looked at the three Tianbian guards behind him - he was afraid that if he did not agree, someone would pop up later and his side would really have no chance of winning.

Already.

Fortunately, he looked at these people for a long time and recognized that these three were his own, so he sat down and said, "Since it is difficult to tell the winner in terms of force between the two sides,

, then it doesn’t hurt to listen to He Fu Cheng talk about your lofty views..."

He Nan saw that Chi Zebao softened his tone now, and he stopped rubbing his nose and face, and sat down to talk: "The eight words written in His Highness's letter represent time, place, person and event respectively.

...Chongjiu means September 9th."

"What He thinks is wrong is that it is September 9th. It is already half August. September 9th is too hasty for His Highness to get married."

"Ordinary people have to write three letters and six appointments to get married, and they work for months or even half a year, let alone such an earth-shattering happy event as His Highness getting a concubine." When he mentioned the words "big happy event", He Nan's expression showed something.

It's unnatural, but it's gone in the blink of an eye.

"Since I am a concubine, I have to enter the palace. And entering the palace means that His Highness wants me to 'improve my skills'."

"In addition to what I said before, the rush of time...His Highness asked me to do a big thing for him in a short time and give him a share of credit." In fact, He Nan still had half of the words left, which was only for him.

What happened between him and Qi Dan - Qi Dan wanted He Nan to use his merits in exchange for time, in exchange for the time for him to accept Zhu Zhaoer as his concubine. He was making a promise to He Nan: "You should do what you should do one day earlier."

Once this is done, I will marry Zhu Zhaoer one day later."

He Nan's logic was impeccable. Chi Zebao, who was sitting opposite him, was stunned for a moment. If He Nan hadn't said this, he would have never known that His Highness had such a deep meaning.

"Chi has learned a lesson today about He Fu Cheng's ability." Chi Zebao wiped the cold sweat from his head, "It's just... As a subordinate, Chi doesn't dare to make decisions for his master privately. His Highness wants Chi to

I will take you back, Chi will not dare to disobey." Chi Zebao is not a fool. His words seem to leave no room for anything, but in fact they imply that He Nan, you have to give me an idea to prevent me from being punished for dereliction of duty by His Highness when I go back.

It's not like he's guilty of losing his head, but he might have to resign early.

"Easy to say." He Nan waved his hand, as if he was not bothered, "Get a pen and paper, and I will edit a letter for His Highness."

Soon the waiter downstairs brought pen, ink, paper and inkstones - Pinjin Pavilion is an elegant place, and many literati like to write poems while drinking, so pen, ink, paper and inkstones are also always available. Congratulations

It was difficult to pick up the pen and wrote this paragraph on the paper:

"While fishing in the swamp, three people plucking seedlings in the dry river; burning the forest to hunt, trapped animals crying with blood and dying."

"As you say...it's disrespectful to come back without reciprocating. Since His Highness has set up a riddle for me, I will return the same to him." After writing, He Nan stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and handed the paper in his hand to him.

Chi Zebao. "Show this to His Highness, and I'll make sure nothing happens to you."

Chi Zebao stared at He Nan's face, but did not dare to take it with his hand.

"Take it?" He Nan saw that the other party was stunned for a long time and directly stuffed the paper into Chi Zebao's arms.

"Wait a minute!" This piece of paper seemed like a hot potato. Chi Zebao immediately took it out and spread it on the table. "What are you writing here?"

Everyone present looked at the content recorded on the paper, but looked at each other in confusion.

"Simply put... it's an anagram." He Nan responded, but since he mentioned "simply put", it means there are other meanings besides anagrams.

"The crossword puzzle that He Fu Cheng came up with... is hard to understand." Chi Zebao, an old fox, is quite clever. He obviously couldn't understand it, but he didn't say it directly. However, his expression and actions betrayed him.

The eyes that seemed to be seeking confirmation were not only looking at his own people, but also at the other party's group.

But except He Nan, no one understood it.

"Nonsense, if it's so easy to understand, how can you show His Highness's wisdom?" He Nan chewed the flower seeds with a ferocious expression. He seemed to have accidentally drank a piece of tea and got stuck in his teeth. "But Your Highness must have it."

Just understand it."

Chi Zebao swallowed. He really couldn't believe that He Nan had dismissed him so hastily: "Chi thinks it's not safe enough..."

He Nan frowned and said: "If you think this piece of paper is not enough, then you can also give me a message - in the whole world, there is no royal land. How can the little He Nan escape from the palm of His Highness?

?If Mr. Chi can catch me once, he can certainly catch me a second time."

"If His Highness really insists on getting married in a hurry, He Nan will definitely come to the capital to support him on the wedding day."
