Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Before anyone could see it, the sound came first.

Nan Zhen raised her eyes and looked at the door, and saw Chu Li, dressed in a flashy red dress, walking leisurely. The landscape-glazed bowl in his hand did not affect his laziness.

"Dongyue, good morning." As he said, he handed over the empty bowl.

Dongyue was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand to take the bowl, "Hello, Mr. Chu."

Then he glanced at Nan Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, I'll give you another bowl."

"Go."

After Dongyue left, Chu Li walked around the edge of the table, sat down opposite Nan Zhen, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

Nan Zhen tapped her fingertips on the table to signal, he chuckled and pushed the poured tea over.

"Why did it come suddenly?" she asked.

Chu Li watched the clear tea being rolled into the cup and said, "There is news that you will definitely be interested in."

Nan Zhen raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."

"Do you still remember that you told me to keep an eye on Wu Da when you came back from your mission incognito with His Majesty?"

Wu Da is the blacksmith in the south of the city.

The quality of the items in his shop has always been excellent. Ever since Mingyue Pavilion was established, he has placed a long-term order of hidden weapons in his shop.

This person is honest, usually taciturn, and has worked with Mingyue Pavilion for many years. He never secretly inquires for information and leaves after delivering the goods. Therefore, no one paid attention to him before.

What's strange is that such a person actually met them by chance during his trip and was hunted down.

If you think about it carefully, it's a bit too coincidental.

So after Nan Zhen returned to Mingyue Pavilion, she handed the matter over to Chu Li and asked him to pay more attention.

For this purpose, Chu Li made two trips to the south of the city, went to his shop to customize many hidden weapons, and took the opportunity to observe.

It's a pity that the other party was too vigilant. Ren Chuli was so eloquent that he stopped talking and kept silent to the end.

Chu Li saw that there was no chance, so he didn't waste any time and just asked his subordinates to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, this morning, his subordinates brought back a piece of news, which shocked him so much that he had no intention of eating breakfast and hurried to the palace.

"Yesterday, Cheng Fang entered Beijing and settled at Tianhua Inn. After visiting several places of interest, he went to the blacksmith shop."

when--

The bottom of the cup hit the table and he coughed out a small sound.Nan Zhen was silent for two seconds, "Isn't it a coincidence?"

"No accident."

Cheng Fang did go to the south of the city, but there was no reason to go to the blacksmith shop. What's more, there was more than one blacksmith in the south of the city, so there was no reason to go to Wu Da's to buy weapons.

"So," Nan Zhen paused, "there is only one reasonable explanation, and they know each other."

Chu Li nodded, "Based on their age, the two of them are not of the same generation. Except for your chance encounter, Wu Da's past experience is normal. Maybe..."

He looked at Nan Zhen, who happened to be looking over at this moment, and the two of them thought of the same thing.

"I will check his paternal relationship after I go back," Chu Li said. "Ming Yue Pavilion has had business dealings with his blacksmith shop since the establishment of Mingyue Pavilion. I usually see him as a dark and strong man with wrinkles around his eyes. I actually ignored him. His true age is not much older than ours."

He probably didn't own the blacksmith shop at that time, but the old master had to have some reason for choosing this shop, which was not very famous or large in scale.

Now that Cheng Fang appears, things that were previously ignored may be involved.

Nan Zhen nodded, and then asked, "Are you sure you are at Tianhua Inn?"

"Well, are you planning on taking a trip?"

Nan Zhen: "He has come all the way, so he can't really come to the capital to play. Besides, he is an old member of General Nan Da's army, so I should go and meet him because of his emotions and reasons."

"I just guessed that you would go, so I sent you the news without having breakfast."

The tea was a little cold, so Chu Li poured a new cup. After taking a few sips, he stood up and said goodbye, "I'm leaving. I'll chat with you when I'm free."

When Chu Li went out, he happened to bump into Dongyue coming along the corridor carrying hot porridge.

"Master Chu, walk slowly."

"Well, Miss Dongyue's cooking is pretty good. I hope I can eat it next time."

Dongyue was stunned for a second, and then said, "Young Master will be here at any time."

She knew that this was her empress's friend, so she naturally greeted him nicely.

Chu Li waved his hand and walked away quickly.

The sky, which had been gloomy for half the morning, finally saw sunshine again near noon. The silent trees in the yard seemed to be warmed by the light, and the wind blew away the chill in the leaves.

Nan Zhen estimated that the time was almost up, so she changed into some convenient clothes and hurried out of the palace.
