It was past midnight, and the moon was above the willow branches. Fang Chuning was sleeping lightly. He heard several birdsong of different lengths. He opened his eyes and frowned slightly. This was a unique signal for Marshal Fang's spies in Sangnan.

After he came to Sangnan, he didn't look for them. Xie Jue's shadow guards had very strong detection capabilities, and he didn't need to use Jiangnan's spies. Why were he looking for him late at night now? Fang Chuning glanced sideways at Xie Jue, who was sleeping soundly. Xie Jue must have been very tired. There was a little blue and black under his eyes. He was sleeping very deeply. Because of the hot weather, he was only covered with a thin quilt, which he pulled to his waist and abdomen. Fang Chuning looked at his sleeping face and raised his lips slightly. He himself felt strange. Just looking at him like this made him feel relaxed and happy.

Not far away, the sound of birdsong came again. Fang Chuning stood up, pulled the thin quilt over him, got up, dressed and left. The shadow guards took turns, and only Ying San was there. Although he saw Fang Chuning, he didn't say a word. After midnight, the post house was quiet, only some energetic soldiers who were not required to be on duty tomorrow were still playing around. Fang Chuning left the post house through the back door.

There was a mark left by the spies at the back door. When Fang Chuning arrived at the appointed pavilion, two spies were already waiting. When they saw Fang Chuning, they knelt down and saluted.

Fang Chuning raised his hand, "Get up!"

"Yes!"

They were two very young spies. One of them looked familiar to Fang Chuning. He was Zhou Buyan's cousin. He and Zhou Buyan were somewhat similar. Zhou Buyan had been with Fang Chuning for more than ten years, so he could easily recognize. Zhou Buyan's cousin, whose surname is Chen, is Chen Yesheng. He has been under the commander's command for eight years. In the past two years, he was sent to Sangnan and has been active in Sangnan.

"What's the matter with me?"

Chen Yesheng can also easily recognize Fang Chuning. He often saw Fang Chuning when he was young. His height and temperament have changed from those ten years ago, and he has almost grown up in the same proportion.

Chen Yesheng was also in a complicated mood, and said in a deep voice, "The commander-in-chief has given orders, please set off immediately for the young master to return to the border of Penang, where he will wait for you."

Fang Chuning's heart skipped a beat. Although he had a vague premonition, when he actually heard the order, a chill ran down his spine. The moonlight was like water, falling outside the pavilion. The lake next to it was sparkling and the willow trees were floating, making the inside and outside of the pavilion feel lonely and cold. . Fang Chuning stood with his hands behind his back, elegantly, his hands folded behind his back were clenched into fists. He asked, "What can you say about your handsome father?"

"The commander-in-chief never said that I will wait for the order to take the young master back to Penang." Chen Yesheng thought to himself, you know why. Rumors about you and the prince Sang Nan have spread everywhere, and we don't dare to hide it from the commander-in-chief. ah.

Letters travel very quickly between Penang and Peony City. It only takes two or three days for the commander-in-chief to hear Sang Nan's rumors. Fang Chuning looked at Chen Yesheng with a half-smile, and saw how many people were ambushing around him, "If I were Don’t you want to?”

Chen Yesheng seemed to have expected it, "Young master, don't embarrass us. The commander-in-chief said in the letter that no matter what the cost, we don't want to hurt the master."

Although this group of people were spies from the Jiangnan garrison, they were loyal to the commander-in-chief. Naturally, they also respected Chu Ning and did not dare to take action easily.

"Xiao Yesheng, we haven't seen each other for ten years. I wonder how your skills are doing? I would like to learn a lesson. Call everyone out and come together. If you beat me, you will live up to your father's orders. You can't beat me. , then stay away from me!" Fang Chuning came with bare hands and knew that there were more than one or two people around, but he still had the courage to fight with them. This group of spies was mainly for spying on intelligence. In terms of battlefield combat and fists, Fang Chuning was definitely not his. Opponent, but Fang Chuning came alone, with two fists it was difficult to defeat four hands.

"Young master, you are making things difficult for us." Chen Yesheng said, "Xiao Si and I came together because we don't want things to get too big. There are no spies lurking around, just us."

"Then let's do it!" "You are the master, we dare not be disrespectful." Chen Yesheng said, "If the master and the prince cause trouble in Sangnan, you should expect that the commander-in-chief will ask you to go home."

"I am on an envoy under the emperor's order. Xie Jue is in Peony City, and I have to escort him with me. My father ordered me to return to Penang to see him. Is his order greater than the emperor's order?" Fang Chuning moved out Xie Xun.

Chen Yesheng, "..."

The spy next to him said, "Sir, the mission includes General Lin Xiao and General Zhang Boxing. There are also many shadow guards around the prince. He is safe and sound, so you don't have to worry."

"Really? You can guarantee that he can leave Peony City safely. I can't guarantee it, and Han Ziqi can't guarantee it. Even King Sangnan himself is undecided. Why are you so sure?" Fang Chuning looked at them with extremely cold eyes, " I know you are here under orders, and I won’t embarrass you, just do it!”

"In that case, Young Master, I'm offended!" Chen Yesheng winked, and the spies around him quickly attacked Fang Chuning.

Xie Jue suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. He turned over to look for the person next to him out of habit, but found nothing. Xie Jue slowly woke up. After waiting for a while, Fang Chuning did not come back. Xie Jue was also a little unable to sleep, so she got up and went out to look for him.

When Ying San saw this, there was no need for Xie Jue to take the initiative to ask, "Master Fang went out at that moment. I heard two bird calls from the Jiangnan side. It should be Jiangnan spies looking for him."

"How long have you been gone?"

"An hour and a half." The third person was on duty in the second half of the night. He also knew that Xie Jue would ask, so he was very concerned. Xie Jue pursed his lips and nodded, "I know."

He turned back and sat in front of the window, closing his eyes and meditating.

Jiangnan spies came to see him late at night. What's the matter? Fang Chuning mentioned to him that before leaving, the marshal told him the contact information of Jiangnan spies. These spies have been in Jiangnan for many years and are deeply rooted. Some people are marrying wives and having children in Sangnan. They are deeply hidden. If something happens to the mission, , they can also help with evacuation, which is a safe passage to Jiangnan.

In addition, Xie Jue did not ask if the commander-in-chief gave him other tasks. In theory, there were no extra tasks. It turned out that Fang Chuning was not on the mission list. If the commander-in-chief had anything to do, he would not be needed. Come and do it.

The spies from Jiangnan were looking for him. It was only possible that... Xie Jue's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. What was originally a tacit secret suddenly became public one day. Xie Jue was inevitably uneasy, anxious and hesitant.

That man is the commander-in-chief, Fang Chuning’s father! He was ruthless and would not let him go if he knew about it. Xie Jue was restless and wanted the shadow guard to find Fang Chuning so that he would have someone to take care of him if anything happened. But this was a matter between their father and son, and it was not for him to interfere. Fang Chuning left alone without disturbing him, and he didn't want him to interfere after all.

Will he leave with the Jiangnan spy?

Do not!

He would not leave without saying goodbye. Even if he wanted to leave, he would come and say goodbye. What did he think? Xie Jue asked himself, does he want Fang Chuning to leave?
