The king will never go to court

Chapter 225 Chapter 234: Night Exploration of Bai Yanhou's Mansion
"This group of people is not simple, we have to see what they are going to do!"

According to the common sense that Zhao Jinyao learned in Dingguo Marquis Mansion, escorting important goods would inevitably choose a secluded inn.

And the group of Qianguo soldiers they followed chose the most prosperous inn in the south of the city.

"Miss, aren't they just a group of Chinese soldiers escorting the goods? Isn't it simple?"

Li Bilan, dressed in men's attire, was driving a carriage, turned her head and asked in a low voice.

After entering Xuelong City, they handed over a dozen taels of silver to the driver and told him to leave.

After receiving a large sum of money, the coachman was naturally overjoyed, and left with the money in his pocket.

An ordinary coachman is naturally not the object of interrogation by the soldiers in the city.Soon, he disappeared into the crowd.

Recently, the three states in the south are all recruiting warriors from the rivers and lakes. Some of them were called to go south to Yan Kingdom, while others were sent to Huangbei City.

The "Mountain, River and Forest Affairs" of King Wu of the Jian Kingdom has been promulgated. These warriors are going to the mountains, rivers and forests to pick all kinds of precious herbs and search for natural materials and earth treasures.

For a time, warriors with their own search experience became the treasures in the eyes of everyone.

"I don't know either. I just think they are suspicious."

Zhao Jinyao's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and the gleam in her eyes flickered.A powerful aura surged towards the official road ahead following her gaze.

The green-clothed scribe in the carriage felt a stronger sense of crisis, and hastily knocked heavily on the wall of the carriage again.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Captain Feng hurriedly stepped forward when he heard the rapid knocking sound, and asked respectfully.

"Accelerate forward. Although this place has entered the sphere of influence of the Xuelong Sect, I still feel a sense of uneasiness." The green-clothed scribe regretted not letting Zhang Zheng send more soldiers to accompany him.

Unexpectedly, within the territory of Qianguo, it was still in Xuebei Prefecture, that there would be martial artists from Jianghu who attacked their Nanzhou convoy when King Wu was in charge of the country.

Looking at the ice and thin snow on the official road, Captain Feng swallowed hard and replied, "Don't worry, my lord. I will order them to hurry on their way."

Although the snow was slippery, their team still used the best horses and vehicles in Xuelong City.

Several armored soldiers stepped forward to disperse the caravan in front of them. Seeing that they were soldiers in armor, although this group of caravans had guards, they could only swallow their anger and drive the vehicles to the sides of the official road.

Watching more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages speeding towards the valley in the south, he completely ignored the slippery road and even the danger of overturning.

In the bumpy carriage, the scholar in green shirt leaned against the incense burner, quietly watching the brocade box beside him.Although I don't know what it is, but the object that can make my friend entrust with his life, naturally has an extremely important weight.

"My lord, are you okay?" Captain Feng, who was sitting on the horseback, looked at the bumping carriage, feeling a little worried in his heart. If this nobleman was bumped into a problem, their team would not be able to bear the anger of the Houfu.

"nothing."

The convoy was already moving at the fastest speed, but the green-shirted scribe always felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him.

More than ten miles away, the snow has melted.

Li Bilan drove the carriage and slowly followed behind, really puzzled why her young lady kept following the convoy in front, if she went up to stop it, she could ask clearly.

Two days later, the pair arrived in Baiyan City safely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they came to the residence of the Marquis of Baiyan, the scholar in blue straightened his robes and got out of the carriage together with the brocade box in his arms.

After worrying for two days, I was always shrouded in a strange feeling. Fortunately, no accident happened.

When they came to the Hou Mansion, a middle-aged man received the group of people.

"Master Wang, rare guest, rare guest."

The middle-aged man is very shrewd and has sharp eyesight.Although the scholar in green shirts was very plainly dressed, he could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary son of a powerful man.

Outside the gate of the mansion, there is a dense armor, with a chilling air.

The green-clothed scribe bowed slightly, nodded back and said, "I have met you, Mr. Xiaosheng, Wang Chi of Xuebeihou's Mansion."

"So it's Mr. Wang, please come inside." The middle-aged man didn't give his name, but signaled the subordinates behind him to go forward to pick up the rectangular brocade box in Wang Chi's hand.

"What's the meaning of this?" Wang Chi's eyes were fixed, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light seemed to shoot out suddenly.The two followers who came up were forced to retreat.

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, "Master Wang misunderstood, I just saw such a huge brocade box, and I wanted my subordinates to help you first."

"Need not."

The two walked into Bai Yanhou's mansion one after the other.

An embarrassing welcome ended, and they passed through the pavilions and came to a quiet side hall.

The middle-aged man ordered the maid to serve tea and snacks, and then left, leaving only Wang Chi and a few maids waiting on the corridor.

At the end of the corridor, the middle-aged man looked disappointed and sighed in a low voice, "Ma'am, we have nothing to do. It is too strict. Our people can't do anything."

In the shadow of the corridor, a young lady in a gorgeous robe, her eyes are cold, and her gaze stays in the direction of the side hall in the distance.

The woman was the eldest wife of Bai Yanhou's mansion, and a layer of frost was attached to her originally beautiful face.

The news came from the capital, and she must try her best to get the brocade box. This brocade box is related to the lives and deaths of thousands of people.

It must not fall into the hands of Bai Yanhou, but now this brocade box has entered the mansion.It was in the side hall of the Hou Mansion, fortunately, Bai Yanhou led his troops to the south.

When Bai Yanhou, the eldest lady, comes forward, if there is a flaw in the brocade box, Lord Hou will definitely blame her.

Now, Bai Yanhou has completely stood on the side of King Wu, and there is no need to act according to the face of her natal family in the capital.

If you let yourself do it yourself, there are other people in the house who are eyeliner, the eldest lady will still pay more attention to the second lady.

Although Bai Yanhou, a secret agent who was born in Zhu Lang, is very fond of him, but since Emperor Qian's death, the second wife's status in the mansion has been worsening day by day.

Although he still maintains a superficial appearance, the people in the mansion know from people around Lord Hou that Bai Yanhou no longer loves his second wife as much as he used to.

The eldest lady stayed for a while, her eyes gradually became gentle, and her tone was very gentle, "Alright, since it's not yet possible to find out what is in the brocade box, let's take it easy."

"Madam is wise, this brocade box has already entered our Marquis Mansion, are you still worried that it will fly away?"

Madam Boyanhou ignored the middle-aged man's flattery, and walked straight towards the backyard. "Hou Ye's order has not been changed, and the second lady is still in charge of the external affairs of the mansion."

That's why the eldest lady didn't want to come forward in person, but sent a housekeeper to greet her.Once it succeeds, you only need to solve it afterwards, but unfortunately, you didn't touch the brocade box.

In the side hall, Wang Chi never left the rectangular brocade box from the corner of his eyes.

He also wanted to open it, but he didn't know where a surprise came from in his heart, but he never opened it in the end.

Just feeling a icy chill coming out of the brocade box, it made people feel frightened constantly.

After drinking twice the tea in a row, Wang Chi moved the tip of his nose slightly, and smelled a faint scent of flowers.Then, I heard the respectful voice of the maid in the corridor, "See Second Madam."

Although he has never been to Baiyan State, he is a young nobleman from Nanzhou.Naturally, Wang Chi had heard of the dangerous reputation of the second wife of Bai Yanhou's residence.

They are in the same line as the three wives of Xuebeihou Mansion, both from Zhulang.

However, now that the king of Wu is in charge of the country, the wives in the princes' mansions have settled down quite a bit.

Some Qinghou even beheaded his wife directly in order to show his loyalty to King Wu.

At this moment, Wang Chi stood up respectfully, and saw a beautiful woman in a red dress with a long skirt reaching the floor.

"Your Majesty has seen the second lady." Wang Chi hurriedly lowered his eyes and saluted respectfully.

"No need to be too polite, thank you, Mr. Wang, for bringing this thing back to Baiyanhou's Mansion." The second lady moved lightly with lotus steps, and walked gracefully. .

The maid at the side changed the two of them to a cup of hot tea again, and then quietly stood behind them.

"Second Madam, since this item has been handed over to the Marquis' Mansion, it's inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time, or"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang should be visiting Baiyan City for the first time. Although Baiyan is not as good as Xuebei Prefecture, there are still some beautiful places. Mr. Wang might as well stay for a while. When the Hou Lord comes back, I can thank you in person. "

The second lady just glanced at the rectangular brocade box at first, and then her eyes were clear without any thoughts. "It doesn't matter what it is, so she won't get involved in this muddy water."

Now, Emperor Qian has passed away.Zhu Lang is already in danger, so she will not make a wrong step.Since this item was obtained by Beijiang, it should have been handed over to Kyoto.

But this group of dog slaves actually brought them back to Baiyan City in order to fight for credit.

And that old cunning Xuebeihou was also happy to see the results, and made it clear that he wanted to see Bai Yanhou's jokes.

At present, this brocade box is a hot potato in front of him, it will not be accepted, and it will not be accepted if it is not accepted.

"Second Madam, what do you mean by that?"

Although Wang Chi is young, he is also a young and powerful young man who is very popular in Xuebei Prefecture. Naturally, he heard clearly the implication of the second lady in front of him.

"She can't take this thing for the time being. He, Wang Chi, needs to hand it over to Bai Yanhou himself."

Wang Chi's guess was right, as soon as he frowned, he heard the sweet voice of the second lady. "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much. After receiving your letter, the Hou Mansion will send an eagle to send the letter to Lord Hou immediately. There must be news soon."

The Sanqinghou of Nanzhou led the elite soldiers and the warriors of the rivers and lakes of Nanzhou to go south to the Yan Kingdom. Wang Chi secretly laughed in his heart, "He never believes that at this critical moment, Bai Yanhou will abandon the army and return to Baiyan City."

Bai Yanhou, who was thousands of miles away, had an attack on the spot when he received a message from the mansion.

While driving on a break, he kicked the small table in front of him flying.

Panting, Bai Yanhou clenched his hands into fists and cursed, "What are they trying to do? Rebellion? This group of brainless things, they do this, let Mu Zaifu think of me, Bai Yanzhou ?”

"Qinghou calm down, don't get angry. It's easy to hurt your body." A middle-aged man beside him comforted him.

As a result, Bai Yanhou's scolding became louder and louder, wishing that all the nobles in the luxurious carriages around could hear it.

In the side hall, the maid changed the two of them to a cup of hot tea again, and retreated respectfully to the two sides again.

The second lady rubbed the lid of the cup lightly with her slender fingers, and said softly, "Master Wang, you don't need to worry, I just want you to stay in Baiyan City for a few more days. As for that."

The second lady's eyes lightly fell on the rectangular brocade box, and she continued, "This brocade box will still be kept by Mr. Zhang. But don't worry, the Hou Mansion will send experts to protect your safety."

Wang Chi drank the tea in his cup slowly, and said to himself, "It's to protect my own safety, but I still have to keep an eye on this brocade box."

Seeing the second lady's resolute expression, he couldn't shirk it, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Since the second lady has already made arrangements, I have no choice but to follow orders."

"Come on, Chuan Fang is in charge!"

After a while, the middle-aged man who first greeted Wang Chi and others outside the gate of the Hou Mansion came quickly.When entering the side hall, although the robes were neat, you could still see traces of sweat being wiped from the forehead.

"Little one, Fang Zaixing has seen Madam. I don't know why Madam summoned me?"

The second lady naturally knew that Steward Fang had greeted Wang Chi outside the gate of the mansion before, although it was impossible to find out that she had any relationship with the eldest lady.But there are some things that don't need evidence, and everyone knows it in their hearts.

"You were in charge of receiving Mr. Wang. Lord Hou has not come back yet. Mr. Wang has been staying in the mansion for the past few days. He will take care of your needs and do everything properly without any mistakes."

"This?" Fang Zaixing only hesitated for a moment, then immediately bowed and replied, "Madam, don't worry, I will do everything perfectly."

That night, Wang Chi and a group of people who had come back together stayed in the west courtyard of Baiyanhou Mansion.

These private soldiers under Bai Yanhou's command lived in the Hou's Mansion for the first time, and they were really excited. They never expected that these low-level soldiers would be able to live in the Hou's Mansion one day like those generals.

In the courtyard, there are deep shadows and winding water, just like a royal garden.In the Huaxie attic near a sea of ​​flowers, Wang Chi closed his eyes and rested his mind, but he dared not stop his perception all over his body.

At this moment, the worry in his heart became more and more obvious.Although there were dozens of martial arts experts guarding the side courtyard outside, Wang Chi could still feel a pair of cold eyes quietly watching here from a distance.

"Who the hell is it? He has already arrived at Baiyanhou's Mansion. Could it be that the other party has followed all the way to do something in the Hou's Mansion? This is too arrogant."

In the middle of the night, a figure hurried through the forest.It quickly bypassed the defending guards without making any sound, a bamboo pipe quietly penetrated into the room, and then a puff of smoke poured into the room along the bamboo pipe.

Wang Chi suddenly opened his eyes, but soon lost consciousness.

After waiting for a cup of tea, I didn't hear any movement from the room.A black figure sneaked into the room and came to the round table in the guest room, staring at the rectangular brocade box on the table.

Then, approach the round table step by step.

There was silence in the room, and a beam of moonlight reflected into the room through the opened window lattice.Only a figure in white clothes appeared, and the beautiful eyes under the white veil were quietly watching everything in the room.

The man in black hurried to the round table, his right hand had just been placed on the brocade box, and he was about to open it.A man's voice was heard behind him.

"Who are you?" Wang Chi forced the last trace of smoke out of his body, staring sharply at the back of the man in black.
