Murong Shen gave the soldier a cold look: "You are not allowed to act without my instructions!"
Soldiers, shut up.
Murong Shen's eyes were dark and he suddenly twitched his lips: "This Xu San is indeed Xu Jing's most trusted confidant. He is really difficult to deal with."
The capital is so big, and Zhao Xiyan is hiding in Hulu Alley. Let alone dozens of soldiers, even if there are one or two hundred more, it is extremely difficult to search for Zhao Xiyan's whereabouts without attracting attention.
He didn't want to attract anyone's attention, because he also cared about Zhao Xiyan's reputation. He wanted to marry her, not to destroy her.
Therefore, the current situation is quite delicate.
The two sides understood each other tacitly and fought secretly. Xu San did not dare to act rashly to alert others, and he could not "pull out" the hidden stake.
The soldiers around Murong Shen thought about it for a while and figured out the reason behind it, and secretly cursed in their hearts.
My young master is really a big lover! They even put Miss Zhao Liu under house arrest and refused to cook the raw rice into cooked rice. Even people like Xu San couldn't bear it.
If the attempt to fetch water from a bamboo basket comes to nothing, my son will be very upset and regretful.
Murong Shen glanced over and said, "He has a dirty mind."
Soldier: "..."
The soldiers continued to shut up.
"Young Master," another soldier came in: "Madam knew that the Young Master was back, so she specially sent someone to invite the Young Master to speak."
Murong Shen nodded slightly.
When Zhao Xiyan came to the capital last year, Mrs. Murong couldn't wait to go to Zhao's house. She failed to humiliate Zhao Xiyan, but instead humiliated herself. When she came back, she was sternly reprimanded by Murong Shenji. Since then, Mrs. Murong and Murong Shenzhi
The relationship between them became much colder.
In the past, Mrs. Murong was extremely caring to Murong Shen.
Now, when we meet, it's just a matter of gossiping.
Of course, Murong Shen didn't care.
He wished that his stepmother would stop talking nonsense. In the future, when he sits on the throne, Zhao Xiyan will be his queen. Mrs. Murong will never think of being as mean and difficult as Zhao Xiyan in her previous life.
"I've met my mother." Murong Shen bowed his hands and said, "I haven't been back for half a month. How is your mother's health lately?"
Mrs. Murong sighed: "Your father is out leading the army, and I worry day and night about where I can eat."
Although General Murong was a military general, he always stayed in the palace. He rarely left the capital with his troops. No wonder Mrs. Murong was worried.
Murong Shen casually comforted him with a few words: "Don't worry, mother. The Imperial Guard is the most elite army in the Jin Dynasty. It has excellent weapons, strong men and horses, and strict discipline. There is enough food and grass this time. Moreover, my father's most important task is not to fight.
It is to protect the prince. As long as the prince stays in the military camp peacefully, nothing will happen."
Xu Jing led the Iron Guard Battalion and the Xiaoqi Battalion to quell the bandits, while the Royal Guards stayed behind at the barracks and never moved out. As long as the prince was protected, it would be a great achievement.
Madam Murong also knew the truth behind this. Now that she heard Murong Shen say this, she felt a lot more at ease. She couldn't help but chatter again: "You have grown a year older. You are already twenty-three this year. There are so many ladies in the capital."
, what do you want? You can’t keep going like this..."
Murong Shen endured his impatience and said calmly: "I have someone I like in my heart, and I will not marry any other woman."
Madam Murong was startled and stood up suddenly: "What nonsense are you talking about? That Zhao Xiyan and the Prince of Beihai have already been engaged. If Xu Jing hadn't gone to Jizhou, Zhao Xiyan would have entered the Xu family..."
"Mother," Murong Shen interrupted Madam Murong again, and said in a more serious tone: "I know my marriage well, so I won't worry about it for you. You have the time to find a way for your second brother and third sister.
It is a satisfactory marriage. There is no need to worry about the order of elders and young children. Just let the second brother get married first."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and left.
Mrs. Murong looked like she had swallowed a raw egg, her complexion suddenly turned red and white, and she was extremely ugly.
After a long time, Mrs. Murong slammed the table hard, gritted her teeth and cursed: "You bastard! His heart has been blinded by lard, and his head has been stunned by beauty! There will be a day in the future when he will regret it!"
…
Murong Shen stayed in the mansion for half a day and went to the military camp in the afternoon.
Sure enough, there were still people following him. The people following him were all good players, and they were following him like maggots on his tarsus, haunting him.
Among them, I don’t know if there is Xu San.
Murong Shen snorted coldly in his heart, dismounted and entered the military camp.
No one is allowed to approach within ten miles of the military camp. Those who are watching can only stop ten miles away and guard the road that must be passed in and out of the military camp.
Stalking is a very difficult thing to do.
Xu San never lacks patience.
He divided his more than seventy men into two groups. One group was responsible for keeping an eye on Murong Shen. As long as Murong Shen left the palace gate, he would keep an eye on him. The other group of forty people quietly dispersed, and each person was responsible for two squares.
He went to the city, disguised himself and changed his name and surname, and secretly investigated and searched for Zhao Xiyan's whereabouts. Don't miss every street or alley.
This is of course very slow, but there is no better way at the moment.
Murong Shen did not leave the military camp until dark.
Xu San ordered all his soldiers to take turns keeping an eye on him, and he closed his eyes and slept for an hour.
After the third watch, Xu San let dozens of soldiers disperse, and he jumped up to a very tall tree. He squatted among the dense branches and leaves, looking far into the distance, and could even vaguely see the main entrance of the military camp.
Dozens of people came out of the military camp.
The hooves of dozens of horses were wrapped in cotton, and the sound of the horses' hooves was much softer. The leader was a man in black, whose face could not be seen clearly in the dark night, but he was tall and the same as Murong Shen.
Xu San watched intently for a moment, sneered, and whistled as a signal to order all the soldiers to stay still.
Half an hour later, another group of people came out of the military camp.
Xu San still didn't move.
It wasn't until the fourth watch that the third group of people came out, and Xu San blew the whistle. The soldiers hiding in the dark suddenly took action.
The tall man riding on the horse snorted coldly and took action himself. The soldiers around him quickly jumped off the horse and surrounded their master.
The fight was short-lived, but extremely intense.
In just a few moments, both sides were injured.
The soldiers in charge of security patrols in the Guards Camp noticed something was wrong and rushed over immediately.
Xu San blew a whistle, and everyone suddenly retreated away.
Murong Shen waved his hand to signal everyone not to chase him.
In short, after all the hard work that night, Murong Shen failed to get rid of Xu San and others. He still had to go to the palace as an errand, so he had no choice but to ride his horse into the palace angrily.
"Xu San, what should we do next?"
Xu San said in a deep voice: "Leave a few people outside the palace gate and keep an eye on what's going on here. As soon as Murong Shen leaves the palace gate, they will keep an eye on her. The rest of the people will follow me to search for Miss Zhao's whereabouts."
Even if the whereabouts of Zhao Xiyan cannot be found for a while, Murong Shen must at least keep an eye on Murong Shen so that he has no time to see Zhao Xiyan.
