Chapter 666 News
In the backyard of a restaurant, a short, thin and flexible figure flashed in from the back door, entered the room, took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealed a smiling face, and took out a thin and short bamboo tube from his cuff, Handed it out, smiled and said, "Boss, news from the palace!"

Shen Yue reached out to take the bamboo tube, opened it skillfully, poured out a short note rolled into a tube, and read it in the dim light of the sky.

Niu Zi behind was nibbling on a pear, leaned forward, patted Pi Hou's wet shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Is it raining outside?"

The leather monkey approached unceremoniously and took a bite of the pear. While chewing, he said, "You stupid cow, you only wake up after sleeping until now, and you don't even know it's raining outside? Look, this His face was wrinkled from sleep."

"I squatted in Shang'er Hutong all night yesterday, and I came back at dawn. Why didn't you say it? You're so lucky, I kept snoring while sleeping, and Shen Zhong said that I couldn't sleep because of your noise."

"Who said I snore? I never snore, and my wife can testify." Shortly before coming to the capital, Pi Hou had just married a new wife, a peasant girl, but she was practical and capable.

"You snore, Shen Zhong can testify." Niu Zi snorted.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.There was a soft knock on the door, and another figure flashed in, it was Shen Zhong.

He strode under the eaves, shaking off the rainwater on his body, glanced at the bamboo hat beside him, and said, "Who is smart enough not to be drenched by this rain."

Before he finished talking, he suddenly felt a little cold on his neck. He raised his head, and saw Pi Hou looking at him with a non-smiling smile. No matter how you look at that smile, it makes people panic, "Shen Zhong, it was you who said that." , I snore?"

Shen Zhong "."

"Cough cough" someone in the room coughed twice, and all three of them shrank their necks immediately, obediently put away their previous posture, entered the room, and stood in a row.

Shen Yue rolled his eyelids, and handed the short note in his hand to several people.

Niu Zi was not interested. Although he was forced to read a few words, he felt a headache just looking at the words, so naturally he would not ask for trouble.Anyway, Pihou and the others will discuss it with the boss after watching it, so he just needs to listen.

Pi Hou and Shen Zhong quickly looked at it, and Pi Hou sighed, "It's thanks to our boss who is so wise and powerful, he got out in time and retreated bravely, otherwise he would be stuck in the imperial city right now and couldn't get out."

This flattery is shameless enough.

Shen Zhong glanced to the side, retracted his gaze expressionlessly, and said solemnly, "My lord, I didn't expect Zhu Jingyu to be so vigilant. We have avoided the imperial army, but it may not be easy to sneak into the palace again. Let him think that the emperor is still in the palace and has not come out, let people search carefully, that Eunuch Zhang and the others may be in danger."

"Now that the national funeral edict has been issued, it stands to reason that they won't conduct a large-scale search and give others a handle. But just in case, we still have to find something for Zhu Jingyu to do, so that he doesn't have the energy to make such a moth." Shen Yue pondered, raised his head to look at Shen Zhong, "Did you find any news when you went out?"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhong said with a straight face, "Early this morning, the Ministry of War received an urgent military report. The Nanjing Guards are in a hurry, saying that the Xia family army has tens of thousands of troops and horses forcibly crossing the river. They are lost and ask the court for support."

Shen Yue's expression changed slightly as he listened.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Jiangbei's military newspaper. It seems that Xia Yanfeng finally lost his composure and started to attack.However, the number of people he brought was only 2. Where did the tens of thousands of troops come from?Moreover, Xiao Jing is a good fighter in the Yangtze River, Xia Yanfeng can really force him to ask for help from the imperial court in such a short period of time?

Shen Yue always felt that there was something wrong with this military newspaper.

Seeing his frown, Shen Zhong hurriedly said, "My lord, we have opened the news channel now. If you are really worried, why don't you send a letter to your wife to report that you are safe? Then ask about the Jiangbei war situation by the way?" He said, but he might be worried about his wife so much.What's more, Jiangbei is now fighting in full swing. With my wife's temper, I'm afraid she won't sit in the back. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. No matter how good my wife is, adults can't be completely at ease.

"It's not working right now. We have worked so hard to open the news channel. How can we waste sending letters to our family? If someone is not careful and is intercepted, won't they know that I am in the capital?"

Hearing Shen Yue's righteous words, Shen Zhong had no choice but to say "yes", but he muttered in his heart, I believe you a ghost!If the channel we opened is so easy to be detected and intercepted, how dare we use it to send messages?It's just that I'm afraid my wife is still angry at the moment, so I dare not write to ask for scolding.Why don't you be more frank?You are a dragon outside, but you have always been cowardly in front of your wife, as if you don't know.

"However... the situation on the other side of Jiangbei still needs to be asked. Has there been any news from Xia Yanfeng's side?" They have only opened this news channel for a few days, and the first secret letter has only been sent out a few days ago.

Shen Zhong shook his head, but there was no reply from Jiangbei.

Shen Yue frowned, "Keep an eye on it." Turning around, he said, "Yao Ren is still in Shang'er Hutong?"

Niu Zi nodded, didn't the boss know?Early this morning, Yao Ren went to change shifts with him, so naturally he was still staring at Shang'er Hutong right now.

Shen Yue had already made up his mind to find something for Zhu Jingyu to do, so he thought of Acacia, but he didn't know whether it was because Acacia lived in seclusion, or for some other reason, Yao Ren and Niu Zi had been waiting outside the house in Shang'er Hutong all day and night. , but did not see Acacia coming in and out, the guards in that house were much stricter than before, naturally it was not as easy as before to sneak in.

But Niu Zi let out an "ah" at this moment, and when everyone looked at him, he raised a hand timidly, "Boss, I remember something."

Shen Yue frowned, his eyes swept over like a knife, "Say!"

Niu Zi swallowed his saliva quietly, "Didn't you go into the palace that day? The people who were sent to the Prince Ning's mansion came back and said that a beautiful woman went to the Prince Ning's mansion to look for Zhu Jingyu, and then they hurried out of the city. I left in a hurry, and I don't know why. Zhu Jingyu brought a lot of masters, our people only dared to follow them from a distance, and then saw them come back. After that, Zhu Jingyu entered the palace. I thought it was nothing serious , and because Boss, you asked me to go to Shanger Hutong to watch, I forgot about it." Scratching the back of his head, Niu Zi carefully dodged Shen Yue's cold eyes, shrinking his neck, oh my god, Boss The look in his eyes is so scary, shouldn't he want to hit him?
Shen Yue gritted his teeth and really wanted to hit him, "Where's that beautiful woman? Where is she now?"

"Should... probably still not come out of Prince Ning's Mansion!"

"Should?" Shen Yue raised his hand.

Niuzi immediately hugged his head, and his huge body ran out of the house in a swift motion, ignoring the rain, and rushed into the rain while shouting, "I'll ask, I'll ask right away"
