Reborn like a flower

Chapter 132 Jumping into the Pit (5)
"You can leave after you tell me how to get there." Zhou Ziyuan pushed the door open, turned his head and said to Zhang Wei who was standing there with a pale face, "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell Lord Hou and your second sister."

Zhang Wei had no choice but to open the door with his head drooping, took Zhou Ziyuan to a cabinet in the room, pointed to the cabinet and said, "Pull the door of this cabinet to the side, it will be a secret passage. "

This was discovered by accident when he was having an affair with the little maid when he was a child.It's just that I never thought that I would be asked by Zhou Ziyuan today.

"Alright, let's go." Sure enough, Zhou Ziyuan fulfilled his promise and let Zhang Wei go.Seeing that Zhang Wei was overjoyed and was about to leave with big strides, Zhou Ziyuan yelled again, "Zhang Wei..."

"Second brother-in-law, you promised me..." Zhang Wei, who thought he would be left behind again, looked at Zhou Ziyuan with an aggrieved expression.

"I want to tell you, don't tell anyone about today's matter."

"I see."

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he ran out.

Zhou Ziyuan looked at Zhang Yupu who was desolate and far away and shook his head. He pushed the hem of his robe to the belt around his waist, took out the fire pocket beside him and lit it, and stooped into the wardrobe facing south. Putting the fire pocket in his mouth, he held the door of the cupboard with both hands and dragged it to the side. Sure enough, there was a deep hole behind the door.

This is a tunnel that can only be passed by one person. After walking along the long corridor for about half a flower, Zhou Ziyuan saw a door painted black. With his ears pressed against the door, he carefully held his voice and listened to the movement outside the door.

"My son, the emperor treats my Zhao family very well, I'm afraid that Zhao will not follow his orders in this matter."

"Master Hou, in fact, you also know that the imperial grandfather preferred my father back then. It was only because of the ancestral precept that the elders should not be younger, so he had no choice but to pass on the throne to the emperor's uncle. Although the emperor is diligent now, you have also seen that, Blindly emphasizing literature over martial arts, I am afraid that generals like generals in the future..."

"Senior, no matter what you say, in short, Zhao cannot agree to what Shizi said." After a pause, he continued: "Looking at the friendship between me and Shizi, Zhao has never heard of today's incident. Please also My son, think twice, I want to put the people of the world in the water and fire because of my own selfishness."

Although the voice was deliberately lowered, Zhou Ziyuan listened to every single word.Although he had doubts for a long time, he never thought that Xuanyuan Qi really had the intention of treason. For a moment, his heart was so excited that it seemed to jump out.

In the cold weather, his inner and outer layers of clothes were all wet.Zhou Ziyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and retreated along the tunnel again.After closing the cabinet door again, Zhou Ziyuan didn't get up immediately, but sat in the dark room and thought about the matter carefully.

After making an appointment for a cup of tea, he slowly got up, straightened the creases on his robe, wiped his face carefully, and then opened the door of the small courtyard and walked out.

In the front yard, guests are already saying goodbye one after another.

The moment Zhou Ziyuan walked into the banquet, his eyes turned to the seats.

Zhao Huzheng bid farewell to Xuanyuan Qi with fists in their hands.

Zhou Ziyuan was about to step forward, but he didn't want to hear Zhang Guangsi's voice.

"Ziyuan, where did you go just now?"

Zhou Ziyuan turned around, looked at Zhang Guangsi and said, "I drank too much just now and went out for a walk, what's the matter? Master Hou is looking for me for something?"

Zhang Guangsi looked Zhou Ziyuan up and down a few times, and saw that his face was a little red and his feet seemed a little weak, so he said softly: "Just now my mother-in-law sent someone to tell me that there is something wrong with the house, and I asked Ning Xin to rush back. Thinking that the road would be difficult to walk in the dark, I wanted to find you to go back with Ning Xin, but I didn't want to find you for a long time, and I didn't see anyone."

"What about Ning Xin?" Zhou Ziyuan was taken aback. Something happened at home?What can happen at home?It's not that mother doesn't know that tonight the Longping Hou's mansion is hosting a banquet, and all the dignitaries came and went, so they sent people here in such a hurry, but they didn't know what happened.While thinking this way, a fine layer of sweat formed on his forehead again.

"Ning Xin can't wait for you, so let's go first. You can still catch up on horseback." Zhang Guangsi ordered the boy to prepare the horse, and said to Zhou Ziyuan: "You go back first, Ning Xin has a bad temper, please don't look at her point."

Zhou Ziyuan was about to say that he was not in a hurry, and helped send the guests away first, but Zhang Guangsi pushed him away.Zhou Ziyuan naturally understands that Zhang Guangsi has always cherished this sister of the same mother. I am afraid that Zhang Ningxin and his mother have a disagreement, and I am afraid that he also understands it very clearly. He is so anxious to drive him back, presumably because he wants him to shut up. Protect Zhang Ningxin when she is healthy.What Zhang Guangsi doesn't know is that he also has his own thoughts.

"Then I'll go first." Zhou Ziyuan turned and walked outside.

As soon as Zhang Guangsi waited for Zhou Ziyuan to leave, he called the boy beside him to come forward, "Where did you go just now?"

"Go back to the marquis, my uncle went to the second master."

"To the second master?" Zhang Guangsi frowned, and said coldly: "Please invite the second master to the Brocade Painting Hall, and tell him that I have something to ask him."

"Yes."

The servant retreated, Zhang Guangsi smiled and continued to see off the guests.

However, Zhou Ziyuan rode his horse away from the Longping Hou Mansion, and did not chase after Zhang Ningxin immediately, but hid in a quiet alleyway, keeping his eyes on the people who left the Long Ping Hou Mansion.

After a while, Zhao Hu came out on horseback.

Zhou Ziyuan rode his horse and followed quietly, and only two streets later, Zhou Ziyuan greeted him.

"Marquis Zhao."

Zhao Hu stopped his horse and turned around to look at Zhou Ziyuan who was riding forward. A look of surprise flashed across his brows. He knew that someone was following him, but he didn't expect it to be Zhou Ziyuan.Zhou Ziyuan is only a seventh-rank general, so it stands to reason that he can't talk to a first-rank general like him, but apart from being a seventh-rank general, Zhou Ziyuan is also Longpinghou's brother-in-law.

"Master Zhou, this is..." Zhao Hu chuckled, looked at Zhou Ziyuan, and pointed to the road in front of him: "Zhao and Master Zhou have different paths, right?"

Zhou Ziyuan smiled gently, and said softly: "Wufang, I am waiting for Mr. Zhao here. I just have a few words I want to say to Master Hou."

"Master Zhou, please tell me."

Zhou Ziyuan originally wanted to get straight to the point, but then he thought that the matter was so important that there was really no rush, so he said softly. "Tomorrow I'm going to rest and take a shower. I want to invite Mr. Zhao to have a drink at Tongchun Tower. I wonder if Mr. Zhao will show his respect."

Zhao Hu was startled, Zhou Ziyuan invited him to drink?Which song is this sung?
"Okay, Zhao will definitely attend the appointment tomorrow."

Zhou Ziyuan didn't seem to expect Zhao Hu to be so straightforward, but he was startled instead.But he quickly reacted, and continued: "So, see you tomorrow."

Zhao Hu nodded, and the two resigned and left.

Zhou Ziyuan rode his horse to chase Zhang Ningxin.

There was silence in the alley, and after about half a cup of tea, a luxurious carriage drove out from an inconspicuous corner.The man in the carriage looked at the shallow horseshoe prints on the ground, raised the corners of his lips slightly, looked up at the dark night sky, and said softly: "It's going to snow again."
