Zhao Gong and Zhao came to look at Beef, then at Shen Lie.
Shen Lie had no expression on his face, looking coldly at the plates of food that had just been put down on the table, seemingly unaffected by the waiter's words.
Xia Zhaoyi looked down at the beef on the table, and the first thing that came to his mind was that Lu Dun, who had just left today, was left behind by Heng Xiang.
After a pause, Xia Zhaoyi looked at Shen Lie, especially his arms and chest.
Shen Lie was simply thin. He looked slender and lean, not as tall and muscular as many of the soldiers in the Xia family army, but Xia Zhaoyi knew that he was also very strong.
For example, she is not light and looks thin, but her muscles are very tight and strong, and her weight is much heavier than that of an ordinary girl. However, Shen Lie can easily pick her up and even carry her for a long time without getting tired.
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly wondered whether Shen Lie would have the same troubles as her.
She had been trying to make herself thicker and stronger earlier, but the frame of her body was really slender. She had tried many methods, but none of them could make her look ferocious.
Her health would have been better if she had been in her previous life. At that time, she inherited the Xia family's tall physique and was very tall. Unfortunately, her mother fell ill when she was pregnant with her, causing her to be weak when she was born, and she also did not develop those big muscles. , his skills are not as good as they are now.
But it's okay, whether it's in the past life or this life, it hurts when she hits someone.
It's not good to look at, but it's useful, so that's the end of it.
Zhan Ning and Ji Sheng had been standing by the window and looking around. After a long time, Ye Zheng came back from downstairs: "Master, I didn't find that person."
The clerk was about to sneak away just now, but was stopped by Shi Guoxin. Now the clerk is standing next to him. From their conversation, he learned that these are the Xia Jiajun who brought down Governor Zhao in half a day and transformed Hengxiang in just a few days. and Commander-in-Chief Yan Jun.
I have heard that they are young and beautiful, but the appearance of those legendary figures is often exaggerated. The clerk never thought that these big shots would come to eat so late. This really offended people who should not be offended...
Zhan Ning and Ji Sheng also came back from the window and said they didn't see the person described by the waiter outside.
The waiter's legs went weak and he knelt down. He opened his mouth to cry and begged Shen Lie for mercy.
"Don't kneel!" Zhan Ning immediately yelled, "My second lady doesn't like others kneeling to her! If you want to kneel, go over there alone and kowtow to General Shen!"
"You have no fault, there is no need to be like this," Shen Lie said to the waiter in a deep voice, and then looked at Ye Zheng, "Ye Zheng."
"Master." Ye Zhengsurong said.
"You stay and ask for the person's specific description and facial features."
"Yes, I will ask you carefully!"
"Ah Li, shall we go find someone named Ding?" Shen Lie turned to the girl.
Although Shen Lie did not express any displeasure with this plate of beef, Xia Zhaoyi was still keenly aware that his mood had deteriorated.
Xia Zhaoyi curled her lips at him and said gently: "I like this, 'huh'."
"……What?"
Xia Zhaoyi looked into his dark eyes: "Listen, 'Ah Li, let's go find someone named Ding' and 'Ah Li, let's go find someone named Ding'. These are actually two contexts. Shen Lie, you It’s so nice that even if you’re in a bad mood, you never forget to ask me what I mean.”
"..."
Shen Lie blinked his eyes lightly, and suddenly smiled, a very light smile, like a touch of blue sky in an ink painting.
Seeing that his expression softened, Xia Zhaoyi stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go find Ding."
"It's incredible," Zhao Yu looked at the girl's back and murmured to Zhao Lai, "Luckily she is a woman. If she were a man, with her mouth, which woman in the world would not be fascinated by her?"
Zhao Lai actually thought about it seriously and said, "Mrs. Xia doesn't know that."
"……roll!"
When they walked out of the Jinxiangge Restaurant, Shen Shuangcheng looked down at them in the dim light from the upstairs of the inn not far away.
Wherever my eyes fell, I still stared at Shen Lie's tall and tall bamboo figure for a long time.
A subordinate wearing ordinary street clothes came back and reported: "Sir, they haven't touched those pastries and beef."
Shen Shuangcheng looked calm and said, "Who is the other man? Ji Jiulang from the Zuilu Ji family?"
"My subordinate has met Ji Jiulang, but it's not him."
A group of young people walked further and further away, followed by a big dog jumping around.
The number of people on the street is getting sparser and thinner, but no matter who they are, they will look at them sideways and look at them a few more times as they pass by.
Shen Shuangcheng looked at Zhao Xun's back and said in a slightly cold voice: "This person is noble and has an excellent background. Shen Lie is becoming more and more promising now."
There were footsteps again from behind, and two men came back quickly.
"Master, I have inquired about the current situation of the eldest young master!" one person said hurriedly.
Shen Shuangcheng paused, then immediately turned around and said in a deep voice: "Speak quickly!"
·
The closer it gets to midnight, the quieter the streets become.
Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie followed Zhao Gu on foot to a small ashram. In the residential alley behind the ashram, Zhao Yu opened the door of a small courtyard.
The small courtyard was elegant and unique. Two men walked towards each other quickly: "Your Majesty!"
"Is this Ding Yuejin's home?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
Zhao Xun glanced at her sideways: "Obviously, this prince just bought this today."
As he went inside, he asked his subordinates how the situation was over there with Ding Yuejin.
The bright moon cast silver light in the courtyard, and a big bird flapped its wings and flew past thousands of houses and over their courtyards.
Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie looked up at the same time, and finally heard the movement, which seemed to be not far away.
Zhao Xun listened to his men's report, turned around to look at them, gently shook his folding fan and said, "Did you hear what my men said?"
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him.
"The reason why I bought a house here, I didn't dare to get too close to them, because I was worried about disturbing others. This group of people is far from simple as you and I think!" Zhao Yu made a fuss.
"General Ah Li and General Shen," Zhao Yu's men said, "their house is very big, with enough room for four entrances. They appear to be a wealthy businessman selling grain and oil. This morning, when our prince saw Ding Yuejin, he followed him quietly. , I saw them carrying wooden boxes out. The wooden box was very heavy. From the sound of banging in the wooden box, it might be gold and silver. There were three carts, all filled."
Zhan Ning was shocked: "So rich?!"
"They are going to Nancheng. The prince said that they may have to run away. But so far, only the three carts and a few people following them have gone out. Ding Yuejin and the others are still in the mansion."
"Speaking of which, in the past few days, my prince suddenly remembered why he had such a big impression on Ding Yuejin. Apart from the incident of his death from illness, there was another incident," Zhao Xun shook his fan and said slowly, "When Zhaoyi died, The emperor discussed her posthumous affairs with the Ministry of Rites. At that time, many ministers in the court said that only a tomb was needed. I strongly advocated that her bones and soul return to her hometown. Ding Yuejin was one of the few people in the court who shared my views. However, We didn't speak at that time."
As he spoke, Zhao Yu twitched the corners of his lips and laughed at himself: "At that time, the Xia family had not had any trouble. I told Brother Xia that the Duke of Zheng was willing to pay ten thousand gold to go to Beiyuan to redeem her body, so I would do it. This negotiator. Not many days later, news came from the north that her bones were burned and turned into ashes."
