Wu Ying and Duan Shui Shui were subordinates of Buck Ya Zhen. Their previous identities were the guards of the King of Chu. After the Battle of Nanyang, they were 'forced to die', and now their identity records belong to Nanyang people. Zhu Can still
When he was alive, he was not a son of a man in Nanyang and went around eating people. No one knows exactly how many people died. There were a few survivors in a certain village, and most people couldn't find out. Because all the villages in Nanyang were eaten by Zhu Can.
Ten rooms and nine rooms are empty, and no one can prove the identities of these people.
Besides, the world is in chaos and people are moving everywhere. It is as difficult as trying to find out a person's identity.
In addition to their absolute loyalty to Li Zhiyun, the Guards who have turned from bright to dark also have the fact that they are all orphans. Only orphans have nothing to worry about and can abandon their past identities at will. In addition, the most important thing is
Be good at skills.
The four adult princes in the capital are surrounded by first-class fierce guards. The prince's left and right bodyguards, the hundreds of cavalry beside King Qin, the Qi guards around King Qi, and the guards around King Chu, each
They are all top-notch thugs.
In terms of riding, shooting, and killing enemy generals, they may not be as good as Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, the two human-shaped ferocious beasts, but for ordinary people to take advantage of them, it is equivalent to dreaming.
In the known civilized world, these people are among the most capable of fighting.
Duanshui Shui was born as a slave in the Tang Dynasty's palace. He had practiced literature and martial arts with Li Zhiyun since he was a child. He followed Li Zhiyun through life and death, and followed Li Zhiyun in Jinyang's army. Needless to say, he was loyal, and he was also smart enough.
Otherwise, when the people were selected to go underground, they would not have been selected.
After receiving the order from Buck Yazhen, Duanshui Shui immediately took his two younger brothers to follow Qian Jiulong's whereabouts day and night.
Duanshui Shui didn't care about the identity of Qian Jiulong's Zuo Prison Gate Commander, even if the other party was someone close to the saint. He only knew whose words he should listen to.
Huaiyuanfang.
Although Qian Jiulong was a member of the Yuan Dynasty of Jinyang, made many meritorious deeds, and held the title of Zijin Guanglu Doctor, his status among the nobles of the new dynasty was not high. Therefore, he could only live in a village near the West Market.
Huaiyuanfang.
After Qian Jiulong was released from the government office, Duan Shuishui followed him back to Huaiyuanfang. After following Qian Jiulong for the past few days, Duan Shuiliu didn't find anything unusual. The Zuojianmen Zhonglang kept his daily itinerary very fixed.
When I go home, I never go to Pingkangfang to find a pretty girl, or find a restaurant to get drunk.
Duan Shuihui was a little impressed by such a well-behaved minister. Even Du Ruhui, who was very henpecked in the Prince of Chu's palace, would often go to Pingkangfang with the king to relax.
"There really are cats who don't steal fish." Duanshui Shui hid in the dark and watched Qian Jiulong enter the house being greeted by his lustful wife.
"Maybe he has a lot of concubines," said the younger brother.
Duanshui Shui asked: "Have you noticed anyone coming in or out of the Qian Mansion in the past few days?"
The younger brother thought for a while and said, "No."
"Is there really no problem?" A strange color flashed in Duanshui Shui's eyes.
Whether there was no problem or it was better to cover it up, Duan Shuishui decided to continue investigating.
Qian Mansion.
Qian Jiulong was sitting in the middle of the hall, with two people kneeling next to him.
"The things are ready. I will take you to pick them up tonight. Remember, after you get the things, send them to the place where they should be sent, and then get rid of them immediately. If you don't want to die, don't meddle in your own business."
"As ordered." They both bowed their heads at the same time.
That night, Qian Jiulong left the mansion through the side door after the curfew and took two people to the West Market.
What he didn't know was that the front door and side door of his house were being watched by people who cut off the water flow, and he didn't even know that he was being watched.
After Qian Jiulong left, Duanshui Shui followed closely behind.
After following it for so long, Duanshui Shui feels that there will be a big breakthrough tonight.
Late at night, the West Market is closed, but tonight is different. Because tonight is the day before Chinese Valentine's Day, the imperial court specifically allows the East and West Markets to open night markets on these two days.
Qian Jiulong led the people to the destination with his front legs, but when the water flow stopped with his back legs, he had already 'passed by' the West Market Grain Shop.
He raised his eyes and looked at the name of the grain store "Chun'an", silently remembered it in his heart, and then left without hesitation.
When they came, Qian Jiulong and his party were three, but when they went back, there was only Qian Jiulong. Duanshui Shui keenly realized that the remaining two people should stay at the Chun'an grain store, so he personally watched the grain store and let the remaining people
The two younger brothers continued to follow Qian Jiulong.
Two hours passed in a flash, and it was almost dawn. When Qian Jiulong was about to fall asleep in the tree, he finally found traces of the two people who had followed Qian Jiulong earlier.
They and a few guys inside the grain store pushed a cart with sacks on it and left the grain store through the back door.
The God of Water Breaking returns and follows him immediately.
Soon, the group of people arrived at another courtyard.
Duanshui Shui didn't act rashly. He quietly waited for the opportunity. After all those people left, Duan Shui Shui squinted his eyes and looked at his surroundings, and then took out the hook from his arms.
Using the hook and rope, he cut off the current and sneaked into the yard.
According to his memory, he walked to the room that the group of people entered earlier.
There were a mountain-like pile of sacks inside. Duanshui Shui took out his dagger, found a hidden corner, and pierced one of the sacks, and white rice grains flowed out.
"It turned out to be a grain depot."
Duanshui looked around and quickly found the grain bag brought in by the previous group of people.
He walked over, opened one of the rice bags, reached out and grabbed it, and found that it was still rice grains, nothing unusual.
"Am I overthinking it?"
He reluctantly put his hand in and grabbed it again.
Then, he caught something hard.
Immediately afterwards, he slowly took out the thing. When he saw the appearance of the thing clearly, Duanshui Shui's pupils shrank.
"Crossbow!"
He was born in the Guards and was very familiar with the imperial court's standard crossbows.
Qian Jiulong, there is indeed a problem!
Chu Palace.
Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, a festival for my daughter's family. There was nothing busy in the house, but this year Princess Chu gave birth to a daughter, which made things a little different.
Li Zhiyun took out the dolls that he had ordered to sew a long time ago and piled them into the baby's cradle.
The doll's outer skin is made of Sichuan brocade, with wool inside, and its shapes are various. There are tigers, rabbits, old cows, and Charmander and Squirtle made by Li Zhiyun as a prank.
Princess Chu picked up the Charmander doll, with a confused look on her face. She could recognize the tiger and rabbit doll, and even the tortoise that could stand up, but what was this red monster in her hand?
"Alang, what is this?"
Li Zhiyun was amusing the little girl in the cradle with a little rabbit doll. The little guy giggled because of Li Zhiyun's teasing, and saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth from time to time. He grabbed the little rabbit here and there with his two little hands, trying to catch the little rabbit in Li Zhiyun's hand.
"Little fire baby." Li Zhiyun said casually. Of course he would not say that it was a small fire dragon, because that thing had nothing to do with the dragons in the impression of people in the Tang Dynasty.
"Fire baby?" Princess Chu was startled and then said strangely: "It doesn't look like a doll either."
"Well, maybe the person who sewed the outer skin didn't make it well." Li Zhiyun explained casually.
Princess Chu did not struggle with this matter. She was very pleased to see her husband loving her daughter so much.
"By the way, I asked Madam Wei to come and sit at my house a few days ago. She refused because she said she was not feeling well. I also wanted to ask her for her experience in sewing shoes."
Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun pursed his lips and looked a little unhappy. How could he not understand Wei Gui's deliberate avoidance?
"Maybe it's just an accident, maybe next time."
"Um."
At this moment, Mrs. Yin brought little Chengjing to greet Princess Chu. Seeing Li Zhiyun here saved them the trouble of making an extra trip.
Huaiyang is pregnant and is currently recuperating. Princess Chu asked her to have a good rest and not to come over every day to say hello.
Under Yin's guidance, little Chengjing can barely shout "yeah".
After he kowtowed to Li Zhiyun, he stared at the doll in his sister's cradle, his eyes widening.
"Yeah, yeah." He pointed to the dolls.
Li Zhiyun casually handed him a doll, and Xiao Chengjing hugged the doll and giggled on the ground.
Seeing this, Ms. Yin covered her face, and her son became silly when he touched the toys.
