Chu Yihua had just returned home after finishing his work in the shop. Before the tea was in his mouth, someone came to report that it was the shopkeeper who wanted to see him.
After shopkeeper Dian saw Chu Yihua, he told him that someone was holding a token of the head of the Chu family and came to the shop just to tell him about a fast horse. Chu Yihua thought deeply for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You said she was only here for a fast horse." Want a fast horse? Then she was in a hurry when she left"?
"Yes, it seems that she was very anxious. She just said thank you and left in the dust." Shopkeeper Dian looked at Chu Yihua's expression and said truthfully.
Chu Yihua frowned, his eyes flashing with a hint of uneasiness. What was she doing out of the city so late? The palace was always heavily guarded. With Nan Gong Yu wary of her, how could she let her run out of the palace so easily? Could it be her? Did you escape?
"You go down first. Cover this matter up and don't let anyone else know about it."[
The shopkeeper received the order and exited the room. He felt somewhat clear in his heart. It seemed that the owner of the house had an unusual feeling for the girl.
After the shopkeeper Dian went out, Chu Yihua's eyes flashed with a chill, and he shouted towards the door: "Qiyu".
Not long after, a young man dressed as an entourage came in, knelt on the ground with one knee, raised his hands and said respectfully: "Master, what are your orders?"
"Send someone to inquire about Prince Yu's Mansion to see if anything happened tonight. Also, send a few subordinates all the way out of the city to find the whereabouts of the black horse. If necessary, protect the person riding the black horse."
Qiyu was stunned, wondering why his master suddenly issued such an order. Just as he was about to ask, Chu Yihua said in a deep voice: "Go quickly, you must be quick."
"Yes, Master." Qiyu didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly stood up and walked out of the room.
Shui Lianyue went all the way out of the city. Fortunately, the capital was not like other towns. There were many nobles returning from outings. Unless there were special circumstances, they would usually not leave.
On the official road, a black horse galloped very fast, kicking up a cloud of dust. The white clothes were particularly eye-catching in the dark night. Because of the black horse's speed, passers-by could not see it clearly and only felt a white shadow flashing by. , they all avoided it and were not in a hurry.
Just after Shui Lianyue galloped past on a black horse, four more men, dressed in the clothes of Chu family servants, followed the path of the black horse and chased after them. Along the way, dust rose up all over the sky and never fell.
When they arrived in Hancheng, Shui Lianyue had no time to dismount and went straight to Yanjin Pavilion. At this time, guests from Yanjin Pavilion were arriving like clouds. Girls dressed in colorful clothes were busy outside to welcome the guests. A strong aroma of rouge was everywhere. drift.
Shui Lianyue did not enter through the front door. There was a person responsible for guarding the back door. When she came to the back door, Shui Lianyue said the secret code. The people inside matched the code and hurriedly welcomed her in.
A young woman who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate appearance, was different from the girl who greeted guests at the front door. She led Shui Lianyue to a secluded private courtyard.
"Master, don't worry, this is a forbidden area. Grandma Sun disciplines her very strictly. Normally, no girl dares to come here." The woman lowered her head slightly and said respectfully.
Shui Lianyue nodded, took off her straw hat and stepped into the courtyard. While looking at the environment in the courtyard, she asked the woman behind her calmly, "Get all the information about Canglan Country and Dongshuo Country, hurry up." .
The woman was startled, her eyelashes twitched slightly, and then she whispered: "Master, please follow Hong Luan's way."
Following Hong Luan to the house, I saw that the house was not spacious, only fifteen square meters in area, and the decoration looked cold and depressing. There were three memorial tablets placed in the center of the house. In fact, it was just to avoid people's eyes and ears. Look.
Shui Lianyue stood in front of the tablet with her hands behind her back, frowning slightly as she looked at the three tablets. After Hong Luan closed the door, he lowered his voice and said, "Master, if you want to know anything, just ask Hong Luan. Although this is a forbidden area, I don’t dare to hide any relevant letterhead, just in case.”
Shui Lianyue nodded slightly, very satisfied with Hongying's arrangement. Since she scolded Hongying last time, her thoughts have become more and more exquisite.
"What kind of person is Lian Tianyan, the crown prince of Canglan Kingdom?"[
Hong Luan thought for a while and said slowly: "The prince of Canglan Kingdom is broad-minded and has a wide range of contacts. Although he loves to play on weekdays, he is calm and calm when encountering problems. He knows rewards and punishments clearly. He is known as the Smiling Tiger. Therefore, the Emperor of Canglan Kingdom is particularly special. Pay attention to him".
"Where is the second prince of Dongshuo Kingdom?" Shui Lianyue thought about Hong Luan's words and asked again.
"Because Dongshuo Kingdom is a little far away from the Central Plains, the information we inquired about is not comprehensive. We only know that the emperor of Dongshuo Kingdom has six sons. The second prince was not born to the queen. His mother and concubine died young and he was not favored during his lifetime. But he But he is very capable and deeply loved by the emperor. As for the reason, I am afraid it will take some time to find out."
Shui Lianyue nodded. This bit of information alone was enough. Lian Tianyan's behavior should not be too obscene, but Baili Game might be hard to tell.
"Are the Canglan Kingdom and Dongshuo Kingdom closely connected?"
Hong Luan was stunned for a moment, and there was a look of embarrassment on his fair face. "As for the news about the capital, it is not a problem to inquire about it. However, Hong Luan cannot answer everything about Canglan Kingdom and Dongshuo Kingdom." come out".
Shui Lianyue's phoenix eyes slowly turned around and stared at Hongluan through the weak candlelight in the room. After a while, she softly said: "Forget it, I know it's very difficult for you. I can't take care of it myself, and I can't I come here from time to time, and I just tell Hongying to do some things. In the final analysis, I, the master, have failed to take responsibility."
Hong Luan suddenly knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "Master, please don't kill Hong Luan. If it weren't for sister Hongying who saved Hong Luan, I'm afraid Hong Luan would have suffered humiliation and died in the wilderness. Where could there be such a thing?" Fuxing worked for his master, but except for the two men under his command who deeply trusted Hongluan, Hongluan did not dare to trust others, so the information that the master needed was not transmitted in time."
Shui Lianyue sighed softly and said calmly: "Get up first and tell me what you know."
Hong Luan stood up again and tried hard to search for information about Canglan Kingdom and Dongshuo Kingdom in her mind. Suddenly, she remembered the news sent by her subordinates that day. She didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now it seems that it may be useful to her master.
"That day, my subordinates reported that they saw the second prince of Dongshuo Kingdom frequently entering and exiting the Chu family's house."
"What?" Shui Lianyue was shocked when she heard this, "You said Baili Yiyi frequently goes in and out of the Chu family's house? Can you tell it's the Chu family?"
Hong Luan looked at Shui Lianyue firmly and said, "Yes, it is indeed the Chu family."
"Oops", a chill flashed across Shui Lianyue's beautiful face. If it is as Hong Luan said, then, in other words, Baili Game and Chu Yihua are colluding?
The Chu family's pig iron smelting technology was comparable among the three countries, so it would naturally become the target of competition among the three countries for cooperation. However, after pondering Leng Liuyun's words over and over again, she discovered a conspiracy that made her very angry.
Perhaps, from the day she got married, when Chu Yihua came to look for her, she was designed to be involved in another conspiracy.
Chu Yihua, Chu Yihua, I still have a little bit of trust in you, but I didn’t expect that you would treat me like this. If I go to Chu’s shop to borrow a horse today, Chu Yihua will definitely send someone to look for her. If Yan Jinge is found , then her only place of communication with the outside world will cease to exist.
