Yang Kang carefully whispered something into Chu Boyu's ear.

After hearing this, Chu Boyu's face changed drastically, and he turned pale immediately and asked: "Is it accurate?"

"It's absolutely true. The spy who was arranged by me at Ansi Shaodushi's house said that people came to Qijiazhuang just after midnight." Yang Kang stopped talking in the middle of his words, as if he was tabooing something.

Of course Chu Boyu knew that since this matter was so important, he couldn't handle it here, so he waved to Yang Kang and said, "Go to my study and wait for me."

Yang Kang nodded, then bowed respectfully, and hurried towards Chu Boyu's study.

Yang Kang was originally one of Chu Boyu's people brought over from his fiefdom of Yecheng, and he trusted him very much, so Chu Boyu felt comfortable letting him stay alone in his study.

When Chu Boyu saw Yang Kang leaving, his sharp eyes immediately became gentle, and then he looked at little Chu Ci who was still there, riding a horse.

"Father, do you want to talk to Uncle Yang about something?" Little Chu Ci seemed to feel Chu Boyu's gaze, but because there was no order from him, she did not dare to move around at will, so she was still there concentrating on

Walking on horseback.

Although the early sunshine of the winter moon is not considered warm, it brings some comfort to the bitingly cold Kyoto. The bright sunshine shines on little Chu Ci’s face, and her serious look makes Chu Boyu feel a little relieved.

.

Chu Boyu nodded, and then said to little Chu Ci: "Well, today's horse step ends here. Your wife has received today's homework. I will come over to test you in the evening."

Little Chu Ci nodded seriously, pulled back her horse's stride, saluted to Chu Boyu, then playfully stuck out her tongue at Chu Boyu, and ran towards the master in the side yard.

Before little Chu Ci ran a few steps, she was stopped by Chu Boyu.

"Father, is there anything else?" Xiao Chuci thought that the face she made to her father just now had angered him, and she was a little worried about whether he would be punished, so his voice became cautious when he spoke.

"Eat less." Chu Boyu said and threw the plum preserves that Yang Kang had placed on the stone table to little Chu Ci.

Little Chu Ci finally realized that she had misunderstood her father's intention, so she took the plum preserves thrown by Chu Boyu, smiled, and turned around to leave.

It's open.

Chu Boyu looked at his son and smiled with some relief. Regardless of his literary skills, Chu Ci, who was only ten years old, was already very talented. In the royal family, such talents were among the best of his generation.

When Chu Boyu came to the study, it was already a quarter of an hour later. When Yang Kang saw Chu Boyu coming in, he hurriedly stood up and saluted him. Chu Boyu did not stop him, but nodded to him. After all, he was

For the royal family, this is the rule that should be followed.

Because Chu Boyu knew that the situation was somewhat urgent, when he came to the study, he was still wearing the training clothes he had worn when teaching little Chu Ci. The clothes were not too tight, and his body was clearly exposed. He has been guarding the border city of Yecheng all year round.

It gave Chu Boyu an invisible aura, as if he were a mountain standing erect in the wind and snow, which made people awe-inspiring.

"What happened in Qijiazhuang?" Chu Boyu directly asked the doubts in his heart without waiting for Yang Kang to speak.

"Qi Hanshan is dead." Yang Kang said lightly.

Chu Boyu's face turned stern. He finally knew why Qi Xuan ignored the warning of the Chu royal family and left Kyoto. Qi Xuan's father was dead, so of course the son had to go back and take a look.

"How did he die?" Chu Boyu didn't understand. He had seen Qi Hanshan once a month ago, so why did he die just over a month ago?

"The spies came to report that on the 13th of the winter lunar month, that is, last night, someone sneaked into Qijiazhuang and assassinated Qi Hanshan. Also dead were the chief steward of Qijiazhuang, Qi Zhihao, and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu.

.”

"Assassination?" Chu Boyu frowned, "Who is so bold as to sneak into Qijiazhuang and assassinate Qi Hanshan? Have you found out who it is?"

Chu Boyu's last words were naturally addressed to Yang Kang.

Yang Kang shook his head, and then said: "Nothing was found. After the secret investigation, I checked Qijiazhuang, but there was no trace left. It was as if such a person had never appeared before. If not...

"

"If Qi Hanshan hadn't died, right?" Chu Boyu sneered, and there seemed to be some unexplainable expression in his eyes.

Yang Kang did not speak, and stood respectfully behind Chu Boyu like a child who had made a mistake.

"Who else knows about Qi Hanshan's assassination?"

"No one knows for the time being. Even the palace should find out later."

"Who else knows about Qi Hanshan's assassination?" Chu Boyu asked directly after coming in.

"No one knows for the time being. Even the palace will probably find out later."

The Yasi Capital in the 27th year of Dali was still controlled by Chu Boyu, and it was not handed over to Chu Ci because of what happened. He was still very confident in the ability of the Yasi Capital to handle affairs.

, so when I heard Yang Tong say this, I made up my mind.

"The dignified owner of Qijiazhuang was assassinated. This matter cannot be hidden at all. It will spread everywhere in a few days, so there is no need to hide it."

"Dadushi, I have thought of something," Yang Kang said to Chu Boyu.

"What's the matter?" Chu Boyu was curious about what Yang Kang would say to him.

"The owner of Qijiazhuang was assassinated. As the young owner of Qijiazhuang, Ansi Shaodushi will definitely take over the entire Qijiazhuang when he returns this time. Then..."

"Are you afraid that he will never come back?" Before Yang Kang could speak, Chu Boyu continued, "His son's name is..."

"Qilian Yu." Yang Kang chatted from the side.

"Yes, yes," Chu Boyu seemed to have thought of something, couldn't help but smile, and said to himself, "That boy Qi Xuan, in order to take advantage of me, he took his son's name and took one of my names.

I had an argument with him about this matter."

Chu Boyu seemed to have returned to the past, and the scene of him and Qi Xuan arguing about the name was still vivid in his mind.

"She should be ten years old, right?" Chu Boyu returned to his thoughts and then said to Yang Kang.

"I was born in the same year as the young prince, so he should be ten years old." Yang Kang replied, but he didn't understand why Chu Boyu suddenly mentioned that child.

"When I was ten years old, I was almost able to go hunting with my father and brother." Chu Boyu said pointedly.

Yang Kang seemed to understand something, and then asked tentatively: "Does the prince... want to leave Qilian Yu in Kyoto?"
