Chapter 221 Silver Bridge
While Zhao Mianmian was amazed at home with the audience in the live broadcast room, Xiao Haizhou himself was discussing the affairs of the He family and Feng Shao with a group of aides in the study.
Wang Yuan and Xie Chen were both there, as well as a few unfamiliar faces who were wearing plain clothes with dark patterns and who seldom showed their faces in front of outsiders.
"I knew there was something wrong with Feng Shao. Look, my Lord only spread some rumors in Jingjiwei, and before he did anything, Feng Shao's flaws were exposed!"
"That's right. If you ask me, Feng Shao is too impatient. He has been in Xuanlin Guard for so many years. How could he hand over the handle to us just for a mere He Zhaoxian?
Could it be that there is…”
"This is only He Zhaoxian, if it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to figure out this Feng Shao!
You don't know that when he was in the Qingyan Army, Feng Shao had close contacts with the He family.
It is said that when Feng Shao left the northwest, he was planning to join the He family, but somehow he was spotted by Fan Zhishan and ended up joining the Xuanlin Guard.
"We really don't know. If we knew, we would never have let this person stay in Xuanlin Guard for so long!
Fortunately, Lord Xie had foresight and always felt that there was something wrong with Feng Shao, so he did not allow him to have too much access to core secrets.
Otherwise, if the deployment we just made a moment ago was reported to Prime Minister Fan the next moment, what difference would it make to us, like being stripped naked and hung on the city wall?"
"Sir, you are right. It is a blessing in disguise that we did not use the man surnamed Feng."
A few people whispered about the relationship between Feng Shao and He Zhaoxian for a while, and then turned to talk about Zhenbei King Jiang Quhuai.
“However, not many people came out from the Zhenbei King’s hands back then. Apart from Yao Hongbo from the Northwest Camp, there is only Feng Shao left.
We have already tried to test Yao Hongbo, but he knows nothing. So do you think Feng Shao knows more?"
"what do you know?"
"The Xiling Nine Stars Map, haven't we found that map yet? Could it be in Feng Shao's hands?"
“No way, I think it’s unlikely that it’s in Feng Shao’s hands.
If the Xiling Nine Stars Map was in Feng Shao's hands, Fan Zhishan, Zhang Qiu and the two old men would have taken it long ago. How could it be our turn to pick up the leftovers here?"
"makes sense!"
"That's really weird, that thing was clearly kept by the King of Zhenbei, and now it's neither in the hands of Yao Hongbo nor in the hands of Feng Shao.
We have also searched the northwest area thoroughly, and we are almost done digging. We can’t let it run into the hands of Zhao Mianmian, a little girl who hasn’t even grown all her hair yet!”
"How is it possible? That little kid is only a few years old and hasn't even wiped his nose clean. How could he hide a Xiling Nine Stars Map? Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"
"Lao Fang, don't be so absolute! @￥%..."
I don't know who said this, and mentioned Zhao Mianmian by name.
Others echoed the sentiment, except for Wang Yuan and Xie Chen who looked at each other and then cautiously looked at the person sitting at the desk.
Others may not be clear about this, but Wang Yuan and the others know it very well. The little girl who they called "not even fully grown" is now living alive and well in Xiao Haizhou's mansion!
In front of Master Xiao, they are talking about his "big son". Aren't these people afraid that they won't know how they will die in the future? ! !
Regarding the Xiling Nine Star Map, the staff of the Taifu Mansion talked a lot.
In the end, it was Xiao Haizhou who spoke up and handed over Feng Shao's affairs to Xie Chen to handle, and the huge study room returned to its former tranquility.
The staff in the study retreated one by one.
When the servant in the mansion saw that the meeting had ended, he hurried in to clear the teacups and replaced the tea for his master with new one.
But before the boy could pour the tea, a strange bird song was heard from outside the courtyard across the wall.
The sound was two short and three long, sometimes high and sometimes low, like some kind of secret code, very strange.
But the owner of the house looked unaware of anything and was just reading a book intently. The servant who came to add tea was startled and he quickly packed up his things and left quietly.
To be able to work in the residence of Grand Tutor Xiao Haizhou, one must not only be tight-lipped but also have good judgment.
Although the servant didn't know what the bird's cry meant, judging from his master's behavior, it was obvious that it was one of his own people who was sent out to deliver the message.
According to convention, there was either some important news to be delivered back, or some important spies wanted to come into the mansion.
These were all secrets of the mansion, and were not something that an ordinary servant like him could get into.
Facts proved that the servant's guess was correct. After a while, one long and two short responses were heard in the courtyard of the Xiao family's study.
After an incense stick of time, a slender figure leaped over, passed through the heavy defense of the visible and hidden guards, and went straight into Xiao Haizhou's yard.
The person who entered the Xiao family was a woman.
The woman was wearing a dark outfit and had her hair tied up in a neat bun on her head.
His face was covered, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
After climbing into Xiao Haizhou's yard, he did not enter the study, but knelt at the door with an expressionless face, reporting everything word for word.
The visitor was talking about trivial matters, but the person in the room listened with great interest.
In the end, even his eyes were filled with smiles.
"The young lady is very curious but timid, and usually doesn't get into trouble. If something really happens, she will instigate others to get involved, so the one who usually gets beaten is the young man from the He family."
"I guess the He family didn't plan to send my sister away this time. I don't know how my sister got the news, but she went to the front yard to wait with her bag on her back. This really disrupted the plans of Master He and Master Feng."
If Zhao Mianmian were here, she would be shocked to hear what this person said.
Because at this moment, the person kneeling in front of Xiao Haizhou's study door, pouring out her daily life in the past few years to Xiao Haizhou without any reservation, was no one else.
It was the one who followed her "through thick and thin" and came from Xuchuan to the capital...
Winter Bamboo!!
Dong Zhu, or should I call her Yin Qiao, continued to report to Xiao Haizhou:
"Jie'er looks silly on the surface, saying nothing and not caring about anything, but in fact, she knows a lot of things.
She herself has noticed what happened to the He family this time, and she will probably start to doubt her own life experience and the purpose of the He family taking her in little by little in the future."
“But what worries me most are the things my master gave her.
I buried those things under the old tree in Linlan Courtyard before my sister left the He family. When my sister knew about it, she was so happy.
If the He family hadn't shown up in time, she would have had to find a way to take her subordinates away with her."
Hearing this, Xiao Haizhou's fingers trembled, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Don't worry?
Did you send it yourself? ?
Ah!
Then Zhao Mianmian is a heartless little money-grubber. How could she be "worried" just because it was a gift from her?
I'm afraid that all the gold, silver and jewelry in her hands will be filled with worry!
When Xiao Haizhou heard Yin Qiao's report, he snorted in his heart in displeasure.
After Yinqiao finished telling him everything that happened in the He family, he calmed down and threw down a few words without any emotion:
"Got it. You continue to protect her. If there is nothing important, you don't need to come back to report."
"Yes, my subordinates know."
Yinqiao received the new instructions and stood up without hesitation. With a deep breath, he disappeared from the sight of all the Xiao family's secret guards.
It was still hot in autumn when I went back, but it was already cold and frosty when I returned.
Everything has changed quietly...
