The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

From the beginning of these two days, things were a little different. Of course, for those ordinary people, they didn't feel any difference, and they didn't receive any news. Even those who were in the officialdom , and they don't know what has changed, or they have heard of it, but what they heard is really not worthy of their attention, so this is why they didn't take it to heart.

Ever since Zhang Fan and Liu Xian finalized the specific method for this matter, Zhang Fan immediately went to arrange it after he came back, and Liu Xian was not at all idle. Almost on the same day, Liu Xian Arrangements were made for the things he discussed with Zhang Fan.

So in the past few days, all the teams patrolling the border of Sichuan have received orders, and the places to patrol have changed. Of course, there is nothing to say about this. If you compare all the orders, you can easily see that the 4 people sent by Liu Xian are divided into several teams ranging from 5000 to [-] people. Now they are all patrolling around the southwest of Sichuan. , which is near Yongning Mansion.

Of course, when you say it this way, you may feel that this intention is too obvious, but not everyone has the conditions to observe the overall situation. For the people here, Liu Xian did not think so The reason for the deployment of troops was told to the subordinates, and the subordinates had no way of knowing, but one was Liu Xian who had received some news.

And the teams don't know if the other teams have received the same orders as they did. In addition, Liu Xian's military management is strict. If you do it, it is impossible to reveal your secrets, and even they themselves don't know what they are doing.

Liu Xian also worked hard to prevent the two teams from meeting each other. If they did, they would ask each other, and it turned out that the other party was going to the place he had just evacuated, so he would definitely be suspicious. Since they are all from our own people, even doubts are nothing, but this kind of suspicion is very likely to be known by outsiders. After all, there are so many people below, will anyone get the news, leak the news, and finally make people If the other party doubts, this kind of thing is really a possibility, but it must be guarded against.

All in all, this time Liu Xian was very concerned about this matter.

On Zhang Fan's side, he also prepared a lot. On the same day, Zhang Fan ordered people to send a lot of people to Yongning Mansion to station and investigate if there was any situation there. It is precisely because at this time, it is easy for people to relax, and it is easy for the opponent to seize the opening of the attack. Therefore, when Zhang Fan gave the order, he deliberately asked Liang Chao to explain that this time the task must not be relaxed. , Regardless of whether it is Chinese New Year or not, you have to keep an eye on the local situation to see if there is any problem.

What's more, about the people there, Zhang Fan also sent someone to inform them, but now they don't know what's going on with the people inside, they can only understand that their situation is not good. In this way, it is not certain whether they can be contacted.

However, he did not send anyone to wait there, but wrote a secret letter and put it in the previously agreed place, and did not allow anyone to watch over there. It just depends on luck. If you are lucky, they can take it. If they can't come, I'm afraid they can only resign themselves to their fate and see if the other party will take the bait in the end.

Although these two situations are all uncertain, but obviously if they know, the probability of success must be much higher. All in all, this is a gamble.

But here, it's useless for Zhang Fan to be anxious now, so he simply doesn't care about it. After all, there are still many things to do right now, one of which is about that Zhao Zijie. After a few days of investigation, Zhang Fan and the others still The investigation did not reveal any circumstances, and after investigation, although there was nothing, more and more mysteries appeared in front of my eyes.

As an eyeliner placed next to the other party, it is important to inquire about news, but it is not the most important thing. The most important thing is how to keep yourself safe. Of course, such a procedure contains too many things Things, including don't show your flaws, don't let the other party know your identity, it's best to let the other party treat you as one of your own all the time, although these few seem to be basically the same, but in fact they are somewhat different .

However, these are not the point of this matter. The point is that it is normal for Zhao Zijie to conceal his identity if he wants to enter the palace, but what Zhang Fan and the others found out was that there was nothing. But this is the problem, Zhang Fan and the others didn’t find anything, so it’s the same, Zhu Xuanqi couldn’t find anything, but, facing a person whose background and identity are unknown, why did Zhu Xuanqi still He will be recruited to be the guard of the palace, and he will be placed in the inner courtyard of the palace, and he will be entrusted with important tasks.

This is completely incomprehensible.

However, they couldn't find out, and Zhang Fan and the others couldn't give up. Although it is very difficult to start from this place, but now this is the only entry point they can find, so even if this matter is difficult, They also have to start from this place.

After the previous division of labor, Wang Meng and Liang Chao continued to investigate, but their direction had changed. Since they couldn't find anything from Zhao Zijie, they should change places and ask the Shu Palace. Under what circumstances, why would Zhu Xuanqi recruit an unknown person into the palace.

However, their investigation is really very difficult. After all, they do not live in the palace like Zhang Fan. If it is Zhang Fan, there is no problem with speaking, but if you ask about this matter, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion. , but although Wang Meng and Liang Chao can enter and leave the palace, if they go in and out of the palace on weekdays, I am afraid that the only thing they can do is to ask Zhang Fan. It will be even more suspicious.

So they can only ask people outside the palace. After all, the palace of Shu is so big that it must cost a lot on weekdays. In this way, there will be a lot of people going out of the palace. If they ask these people about the situation, they may be able to learn something. What's more, there is no certainty, and, in a place like the palace, the owner usually has some special preferences. For example, the three women of Zhu Xuanqi may have special things for daily use, so don't worry about leaving them to the servants to buy. , but to let his personal maids go, these people usually serve in the inner courtyard of the palace, if you ask these people about the situation, maybe you can know something.

Zhang Fan, on the other hand, went directly to Zhao Zijie to see if he could get some information out of his mouth. After all, this Zhao Zijie came to Shu Palace for a purpose. Even if Zhang Fan asked some sensitive questions, he would not It is absolutely impossible to reveal it.

Although such a plan is good, it sounds like it is too uncertain to do so. Maybe something can be asked, or nothing can be asked. In short, it is not a reassuring way , but Zhang Fan and the others have no other choice now, they can only do this.

Therefore, after making the decision, Zhang Fan didn't delay at all. After returning home, he just thought about how to get out the other party's words, so he went to find Zhao Zijie.

However, as the saying goes, planting flowers intentionally but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade, Zhang Fan didn't notice Zhao Zijie at first, or in other words, even though he knew that he had a problem that night, he didn't want to go to him yet. Well, Zhang Fan could see Zhao Zijie almost every day in the Shu Palace, and even if they didn't say anything else, they would often ask each other.

But now, Zhang Fan has already made up his mind to check Zhao Zijie's details, and he is ready to go to battle himself. He wants to ask Zhao Zijie in person to see what he knows, but this time, Zhang Fan But Zhao Zijie was not found.

There is no way, even if he can't find it, Zhang Fan can't just return without success, so now Zhang Fan simply wanders around the palace to see if he can be lucky to meet Zhao Zijie, but such an hour has passed , but Zhang Fan still didn't see him, so Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a little strange.

No matter what Zhao Zijie said, he was a guard in the palace, and he was still on duty in the inner courtyard. On weekdays, if Zhu Xuanqi did not have something to do, it would be impossible for him to disappear. He must be patrolling the inner courtyard of the palace. But today, Zhang Fan had met Zhu Xuanqi before, and knew that he had nothing to do now, but this Zhao Zijie seemed not to be in the palace at all, which made Zhang Fan strange.

After an incense stick of time, Zhang Fan still didn't see him, he didn't plan to wait any longer, he wanted to find someone to ask what was going on.

I asked a maid casually, and it turned out that Zhao Zijie was really not in the palace. Zhang Fan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. with him.

But Zhang Fan still asked casually, to see if this maid knew what was going on.

But after asking this question, he found a problem. It turned out that Zhao Zijie's mansion, according to this maid, was under the order of the third princess.

Hearing this incident, Zhang Fan immediately became vigilant. He suddenly felt that this time might be an opportunity to let them know Zhao Zijie's details.
