Mo Shuyao's entry into the mansion to become a disciple was a thing of the past. Before that, when Xia Jingsheng was about to leave the general's mansion, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, a bolt from the blue hit him.
The carrier pigeon that reported the news happened to fly back and landed on Xia Jingsheng's shoulder for no apparent reason, with a small note tied to his foot.
Xia Jingsheng was quite curious, thinking that Zhao Qichen had nothing to hide from him anyway. He guessed it was a letter from his hometown, and maybe there was something exciting about his family urging him to get married.
This is something that I can’t even think of in my entire life:
Lord Zhao, there are doubts about the Xijiang incident. Zhou Ranzhuo's identity may have been forged. It is suspected that the previous incident is true. Zhou Ranzhuo is really the surviving son of the former Zhou Dynasty in Nanjiang. Please be more vigilant.
——Wei Ni, Tianzhu Pavilion
What does this mean...
Zhou Ranzhuo? The surviving son of the Zhou Dynasty?!
Zhao Qichen? Lord of Tianzhu Pavilion?!
His whole body was twitching, and Xia Jingsheng's hand shaking when holding the letter.
Xia Jingsheng panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do. He stood blankly at the door for a while, his eyes wide open.
The sky is thundering...
"Your Majesty? What's wrong with you?" The maids saw something was wrong and asked.
Xia Jingsheng finally realized that this matter must not be discovered by others. Xia Jingsheng quickly stuffed the piece into his belt with a trembling voice, said it was okay, and hurried away.
No, it can’t be!
What a joke!
Xia Jingsheng broke out in a cold sweat and walked quickly on the street, thinking of a solution.
"Jing Xuan... yes, and Jing Xuan... we need to discuss it with Jing Xuan quickly..." This was the only sentence in Xia Jingsheng's mind.
Xia Jingsheng was really panicked about such a big matter.
A Tianzhu Pavilion, a former prince of the Zhou Dynasty, what a joke!
Zhao Qichen has been with Xia Jingsheng for four years, and Zhou Ranzhuo has been with Xia Jingsheng for almost two years. They are Xia Jingsheng's most trusted subordinates! But now...
What exactly is their purpose... is simply chilling.
Xia Jingsheng kept her head down all the way and ran back to the palace. Just when she was about to find Xia Jingxuan, she met Zhao Qichen who was looking for him in the garden.
Xia Jingsheng almost forgot that he was looking for Zhao Qichen.
"My lord, why are you so sweaty?"
"Oh... Ben... I just came back from the training ground. I'm very tired."
"Then...what does the prince want to do with you?"
Zhao Qichen was a little confused. Xia Jingsheng looked a little panicked, his movements and breathing were disordered. He would not be like this no matter how big the deal was.
Could it be that... something happened?
"My lord, I was thinking that because of your hard work during this expedition, the Xijiang River offered a piece of fine water sapphire to you as a gift to express our close friendship. It's not a big deal..."
Xia Jingsheng forced himself to calm down and finished speaking. Now he looked up at Zhao Qichen, and he was almost "scared".
Confidant? Tianzhuge confidant.
Over the years, Tianzhu Pavilion has punished evil and promoted good, and helped the weak and the poor, but Zhao Qichen didn't know how much trouble the many people he killed had brought to Xia Jingsheng.
Xia Jingsheng once said to Yan Yu: He wanted to recruit people from Tianzhu Pavilion for his own use, but there was a second part to that sentence. It was because he was afraid that Yan Yu would be frightened after hearing this, so Xia Jingsheng didn't say it out.
The second half of the sentence is: It’s just that the leaders of Tianzhu Pavilion cannot be retained.
Zhao Qichen noticed that Xia Jingsheng's eyes were inexplicably cold, but he still took the water sapphire first.
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Zhao Qichen bowed and bowed his head. He was still thinking about why Xia Jingsheng was acting strange today.
"Excuse me, my lord, I have some important matters to deal with. Let's meet again another day."
"Yes, Wei Chen, please leave." Zhao Qichen stepped back and walked away. When he was a little far away, he looked back.
Xia Jingsheng was also staring at him.
Zhao Qichen quickly turned his head back, not daring to look any further.
What happened to Xia Jingsheng?
But although Zhao Qichen sensed something was wrong, he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong, so he had no choice but to return home. After asking around, he found out that Xia Jingsheng had taken Mo Shuyao away.
Zhao Qichen still had an impression of Mo Shuyao. She entered the General's Mansion because she had a heart for a woman and wanted to learn his martial arts secretly. Unexpectedly, she actually got into trouble in front of Xia Jingsheng today. She must be Mo Shuyao.
Shuyao didn't understand etiquette, so she contradicted Xia Jingsheng and made him angry.
However, it was a good thing that Mo Shuyao got his wish and worshiped at Xia Jingchen's door. Anyway, Xia Jingsheng would not blame himself too much for this little thing, so Zhao Qichen didn't think much about it and went back to the house to rest.
How could Zhao Qiechen know about the impending disaster?
Xia Jingsheng said goodbye to Zhao Qichen and immediately turned around and walked quickly to Shenzhuo Pavilion. When he arrived, Gu Yun was chatting with Xia Jingxuan in Shenzhen Pavilion.
"Brother Wang, why are you here? Sit down quickly." Xia Jingxuan said.
Seeing the serious look on Xia Jingsheng's face, Gu Yun naturally knew that it was not suitable for him to keep him anymore.
"The prince, the marquis, and the minister suddenly remembered that there were still some official documents that had not been sorted out, so they took their leave first."
"Mr. Gu, go slowly, Yu Yue, go see Mr. Gu off." Xia Jingxuan also noticed something strange about Xia Jingsheng, and immediately sent everyone out, leaving him alone in the room.
Gu Yun left the Shenzhen Pavilion, and Yu Yue followed him, wanting to force him to send him back to the Zhou Mansion before giving up. If it was normal, that would be fine, how could it be possible today?
The look on Xia Jingsheng's face meant something must have happened. How could he not eavesdrop?
While he was worried, Gu Yun glanced sideways, looking for the "angel" sent by "God" to help him.
Lu Chaoya, the second best in the palace, started again. This time, he went up to the tree to pick flowers, but ended up being hung from the tree.
"Yu Yue, look over there." Gu Yun pointed in the direction of the tree.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yue turned around in confusion and took a breath of air the moment she saw Lu Chaoya, "Oh! Ancestor, why are you up in the tree again!!!"
When Lu Chaoya heard the noise, he immediately cried and cried: "Yu Yue... help me..."
"Just wait! I'll find someone to rescue you right away! Hey, Mr. Gu..."
"It's okay, I'll just go back home on my own. Go rescue Miss Lu quickly." Gu Yun said while holding back a smile.
"Okay, Mr. Gu, walk slowly." Yu Yue ran away quickly.
Not an ancestor! If Lu Chaoya was sprained somewhere, Xia Jingxuan would have to twist his head off! Yu Yue touched his neck and ran away quickly, how could he care about Gu Yun?
Gu Yun looked around and saw that there was no one around, quickly hid in the dense forest, walked through and climbed over the wall, and finally landed silently by the window in the backyard of Shenzhuo Pavilion.
Fortunately, we have just caught up with the key points and are exciting enough.
"Brother Wang, do you mean...to investigate again? Or just silence him?" Xia Jingxuan's voice said.
Silence? Whose silence? Gu Yun was confused.
"Let's check again. After all, we can't convict Ran Zhuo based on just one letter. What if it's a false accusation." Xia Jingsheng sighed.
Sin! What crime! Zhou Ranzhuo? What on earth is going on! Gu Yun broke into a cold sweat.
