Ling Yunkai was very displeased with He Xie for handing over the task of killing Beizhai to Shen Lian, but he dared not speak out. Although he had a background, he was not taken seriously by Wei Zhongxian at all. In this thousand-household office, Lu Wenzhao One word could determine his life or death, so naturally he did not dare to disobey Lu Wenzhao.
Shen Lian's expression was a little strange. He had just bought some calligraphy and paintings by Mr. Hokusai from the abbot of Leiyin Temple, Monk Jinghai. He admired the artistic conception and the accompanying poems very much. Unexpectedly, he turned around and was sent to kill him. Master of calligraphy and painting.
He was silent for a while, then clasped his fists and accepted the order and left.
After Shen Lian and Ling Yunkai left, He Xie sat quietly behind the desk, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously. At this time, a gentle voice came from behind: "Brother, I was wronged in front of Wei Wei." ?”
He Xie raised the corners of his mouth and slowly turned his head.
Behind him is a beautiful woman dressed as a scribe, with a long knife hanging on her waist.
At this moment, she frowned slightly, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Who caused the injury on your forehead?"
This is Lu Wenzhao's junior sister, Ding Baiying, the only woman He Xie can completely trust and can rely on in this world!
Ding Baiying's grandfather was a general under Qi Jiguang. In the thirteenth year of Wanli, he was impeached and removed by Zhang Xigao because of his involvement with Qi Jiguang. The Ding family has since declined.
Although he lost his official status, the skills gained from Qi Jiajun were passed down by his grandfather. In order to revive the family business, Ding Baiying's father opened a martial arts gym in the capital and recruited many disciples. His predecessor, Lu Wenzhao, was born at that time. He studied under Ding Baiying's father and fell in love with Ding Baiying.
After the Battle of Saarhu, Lu Wenzhao narrowly escaped death and determined to "change his life", so he returned to the capital and joined King Xin. However, he was alone and had a low official position. In order to make King Xin value him, he He thought of the Ding Family Martial Arts School.
At that time, Ding Baiying's father had died of illness, and Ding Baiying inherited his father's true legacy and succeeded him as the master of the gym. Faced with the pleading of his long-cherished senior brother, Ding Baiying made the decision without much hesitation. He dismissed the martial arts gym. , selected a group of reliable apprentices, and resolutely joined Lu Wenzhao, willing to be his minions, hiding behind the scenes, overcoming obstacles and clearing roadblocks for him.
Lu Wenzhao has encountered countless overt and covert swords over the years. It can be said that without Ding Baiying, he would not be alive today.
However, for the so-called "great cause", Lu Wenzhao ultimately failed Ding Baiying. Even before his death, he felt so guilty that he did not dare to touch Ding Baiying's face.
He Xie looked at Ding Baiying, who looked concerned and angry, and said with a smile: "I accidentally bumped into you. It doesn't matter. Is it the junior sister who asked you to come?"
That person, of course, refers to King Xin.
Ding Baiying took out a white silk handkerchief and floated it in front of He Xie. While gently wiping the wound, he said: "He was very anxious to know Wei Wei's reaction. In addition, he also mentioned the "Treasure Ship Minutes" in the case library. Let’s destroy it as quickly as possible.”
A hint of sarcasm flashed in He Xie's eyes, and he said, "I'll go back to see him later."
"Junior sister," he looked at Ding Baiying seriously, "there are three things you need to do."
"Senior brother, tell me." Ding Baiying said.
He Xie calmly took two steps back and came to the desk. Ding Baiying exhaled like orchid, and the fragrance hit his face.
For such a beautiful woman and a great master, it was hard for him to imagine how his predecessor, Lu Wenzhao, could resist having any inappropriate thoughts about his junior sister for more than ten years.
"First, make arrangements. Starting from tonight, I will personally monitor that person every day. This matter must be handled securely and not let anyone know, not even your Chong'er and Ding Tai."
Ding Baiying's face changed, and her eyes were full of shock. The information revealed by He Xie's explanation surprised her so much!
This senior brother of mine has always been loyal to King Xin and regards him as his father-in-law. He usually performs courtesies very respectfully. Even the slightest disrespect will be regarded as disobedience. But now, he wants to spy on King Xin!
besides……
Ding Baiying looked deeply at He Xie: "Brother, there are many of our people in the palace, and I also live in the palace. If you can't trust Chong'er and Ding Tai, then I will monitor them. Why do you have to go out personally?
?”
He Xie shook his head: "Don't ask anymore, this matter is settled!"
After a pause, he looked at Ding Baiying: "Junior sister, I was too selfish in the past. I only cared about what was in my heart and ignored you. But now, it is time to prepare another path for us."
Ding Baiying was startled for a moment, her eyes suddenly burst into astonishing light, and the next moment her face was full of surprise, and her eyes were slightly red.
After more than ten years of companionship, with these words from my senior brother, everything is worth it...
"Okay," she looked deeply at He Xie and nodded slowly, "I will arrange this myself."
He Xie felt a little uncomfortable looking at Ding Baiying's affectionate eyes. He coughed lightly and continued: "The second thing is more urgent. I just sent Shen Lian to kill Beizhai, but this kid will probably let Beizhai go."
fast."
Ding Baiying frowned: "Why? Do they know each other?"
"Maybe it was love at first sight." He Xie shook his head, "Shen Lian likes Hokusai's calligraphy and paintings, and he has been a close friend of Hokusai for a long time."
He Xie silently asked and answered a question in his mind, and then imagined that this sentence was said by Ding Baiying.
Although Ding Baiying was a little confused, she didn't ask any more questions: "Senior brother, do you want me to follow you to ensure Beizhai's death?"
He Xie shook his head: "No, I want you to follow Shen Lian quietly to see where he hid Beizhai, and then send someone to keep an eye on Beizhai and don't let her run away to see him."
Ding Baiying was moved again. What her senior brother asked her to do today was too weird. It looked like she was going to deal with that person, which made her feel extremely uneasy.
"Senior brother," she asked hesitantly, "you, were you forced by someone to do this?"
He Xie was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, you will understand later."
Changing the topic, he continued: "There is a third thing. Go to the brothels in Jiaofangsi and find a woman named Zhou Miaotong. Just make sure where this person is. You don't have to worry about the rest.
Already."
After thinking about it, He Xie said uncertainly: "This woman probably hasn't left the government yet, and is about sixteen to eighteen years old."
Ding Baiying frowned slightly and asked, "Zhou Miaotong? Who is this?"
He Xie chuckled and asked, "What is Beizhai's girl's name?"
"Zhou Miaoxuan..."
Ding Baiying subconsciously said Beizhai's name, but her eyes widened the next moment: "Could it be..."
He Xie nodded lightly: "Back then, Shi Lang Zhou had two daughters."
