The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, but behind the yellow finch there is a silent hunter.

Zhang Shou feels that this is probably the best portrayal of his rare two-day rest.

He set up a game with Wang Jie and pulled Zhu Ying to act together, and as a result, he fished out Zheng Huaien, a child of the clan who was hostile to him, and it had been confirmed that the witness was the one who sent a sword to threaten him. However, when he and Zhu Ying seemed to have only come to Zhao Yuan to live temporarily, the two remnants of the Linhai camp who escaped set their sights on him. And behind the two remnants, that Hua Qiye had already opened his net.

Of course, the biggest sacrifice is Zhu Ying. Replaced by most of today's daughters, who want to make an appointment to enjoy the autumn before they get married, it is simply wishful thinking; And for the girls of the next generation, dating has to be mixed with other purposes, which is even more evil! However, when Miss Zhu told him that he had another purpose after appreciating the autumn, she agreed.

So at this time, facing Zhu Ying, who was full of anxiety, Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing: "Of course I'm fine, unharmed!" ”

"Really?" Zhu Ying had already come to the bed. The bed in the East House was not the kind of pull-out bed like a small house, so she didn't have to bow her head and bend over because of her tall figure, but she still couldn't help but lean over.

As if she was afraid that Zhang Shou would lie to her with something nice, she stared at Zhang Shou up and down, left and right for a while, and finally made sure that he really had no injuries on his body, so she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you're okay, it scared the hell out of me! In addition to the two people I caught with Uncle Hua, there are still people in Zhao Yuan who are struggling to climb, taking advantage of the annual routine renovation, colluding with outsiders, secretly hiding traitors, installing copper pipes in an attempt to misbehave, and adding materials to the soothing incense sent to you! If he hadn't captured the traitor alive this time, he wouldn't have been able to wash his head even if he jumped into the Yellow River! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying lowered her head: "Although Uncle Hua has repeatedly assured that catching someone is a great achievement, the credit belongs to you, and you can get promoted and make a fortune if you want to, and he also said that with Ah Liu following you, there will be no danger." But I really don't want to agree, and when I hear that it may be a traitor to the Linhai camp, I don't want you to take any chances. Ah Shou, I'm sorry to put you in danger......"

"Didn't you just come and tell me? Since I promised you myself, what else do you say I'm sorry for? ”

Zhang Shou interrupted Zhu Ying's words, glanced sideways at the moonlight outside the window, and then looked at the girl in front of him with a smile: "Besides, what Hua Qiye needs me to do is essentially no different from what I helped Wang Dayin do." There are certain dangers, but they are all within the controllable range. Besides, it's actually not bad to use your mouth and brain in the country all day long, and occasionally change your brain. ”

"Catch Ming'er, I will definitely urge Ah Liu to practice our Zhu family's family heirloom swordsmanship well, and let him teach you well!" Zhu Ying took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "There is such a big thing, why don't you live in another place?" ”

Zhang Shou was about to say no, but seeing the red on Zhu Ying's face that couldn't be concealed at all, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Why, do you want to learn from Mrs. Tai when I let me live in the wing of Qing'an Hall, let me move to the east or west chamber of Qiushuangzhai, and live next to you in the main hall?" When I was at home, I couldn't help it, and now it's not where it is. ”

Seeing that Zhu Ying glared at him angrily, with a look of annoyance as to why did you want to tell the truth, he said gently: "Yingying, I have taken advantage of you a lot." Although you don't mind, it is true that I was shot by an arrow once, and everyone is like an assassin, but I will not still have palpitations after the matter is resolved. Don't worry, go back to sleep, and Ah Liu is here! ”

"If you say so, forget it." Zhu Ying turned around and left, but when she arrived at the door, she stopped, and then said without looking back, "Also, thank you!" ”

Thanks for what? Did he risk being that bait?

Or did he thank him for fishing out two traitors hiding in Zhao Yuan, and successfully avoided a big trouble that the Zhao Guogong Mansion might get into?

But no matter what, he should be grateful to Zhu Yingcai, because if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have left the countryside, stepped into the capital, and really saw the scenery of today's era.

Zhang Shou coaxed Zhu Ying away in a few words, but he was completely sleepless. After telling Ah Liu to be optimistic that Zhu Ying had returned to Qiushuangzhai, he quickly got up and changed his clothes, and then called Ah Liu to follow, and the two stepped out of the night one after the other. With Ah Liu, a boy whose nose and ears are all smarter than dogs, lead the way, he soon finds Hua Qi in the courtyard to the north.

I saw that this middle-aged man, who was likely to be a royal agent, was sitting on the main seat in the middle of the main room, and there were four people sitting on the ground. Two of them were dressed in the clothes of Zhao Yuan's servants, hanging their heads, and the other two were all blue and swollen, but one of them still showed a bit of resentment in his eyes, and the other looked cowering.

"Yo, Uncle, this is here to see the person who threatens you, right?" Hua Qi casually pointed at the frightened middle-aged man, and said with a smile, "It's this guy, the master of the deputy general Xiao who committed suicide in shame in the Linhai camp, and he has a reputation for making a name for himself, so he would be stupid enough to follow the rebellion." After the failure of the rebellion, he still didn't give up, and wanted to decrypt how to decrypt from you. ”

Zhang Shou saw that the unruly man glared at him viciously, and thought that this other one was probably the general mentioned by Hua Qi, but he was not interested in this kind of force-type character, but he looked at the master in Hua Qi's mouth with interest.

Although Zhang Shou's gaze didn't seem to be aggressive, Master Ma, who was sitting on the ground, felt that Zhang Shou's gaze was like a butcher weighing how many catties a pig had in total, where to kill it with a knife, and which piece of meat to cut first. Even though he had never seen a pig slaughtered, he couldn't help but feel such a creepy feeling.

Therefore, thinking of his current situation, he immediately shouted without thinking: "Shou Gongzi, in those thirteen letters, the decryption method of twelve of them, those small officials in the military department said that it leaked out, so I followed General Liu Shen to rob you, not for this, but for the rest of the strange letter......"

Before Master Ma finished speaking, the unruly eyes of the Liu Shen General were furious. Even though his hands and feet were tied, he hit Master Ma with a ruthless headbutt. said that it was too late, and Zhang Shou saw that Hua Qi, who was still sitting on the chair just now and closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly appeared in front of General Liu Shen, and with a high kick, the burly and majestic man on the ground was actually kicked away.

That's not all, Ah Liu suddenly appeared near the door, and before Liu Shen fell, he was obviously much thinner than a person, and he kicked people back. Fortunately, Hua Qi obviously didn't mean to play any game with Ah Liu, and returned to his seat with a dodge, so that Liu Shen would smash it to the ground like a boulder.

And Master Ma, who had just almost received a mallet, saw that the corner of the mouth of Liu Shen, who had always been fierce in the barracks, was bleeding, and then he fainted directly.

"The person who received the secret letter from the Linhai camp was Vice General Xiao, and the person who translated the cipher text on weekdays was me, and I calculated the ciphertext for him." Master Ma didn't notice that Hua Qi's face suddenly froze, and Zhang Shou was very surprised, because he didn't dare to look up at all, for fear that he would be scared to death if he looked up and saw the fierce expressions of others.

"The most important letter related to the day happened to be not counted by me, I happened to have diarrhea and collapsed that day, and I couldn't get out of bed at all, so Vice General Xiao, who had seen how I counted on weekdays, could only do it himself. He had also read the book, and after he had calculated it, he gave me a look, and I roughly thought it was right, so he went to translate the ciphertext according to the thousand-character text, but I didn't expect to end up counting one wrong word......"

When he said the wrong word, many days have passed since that unforgettable day of Rao is now, and Master Ma still can't help but feel sad: "I was deceived by Vice Admiral Xiao into the thief ship, I was a lifter, and I didn't want to be his master, but the article that lifted people in my township examination was copied, and he didn't know where to find out, so he used it to blackmail me......"

Before he could continue to explain the reason for his rebellion, Zhang Shou, who was obviously very sleepy, but had to continue listening here, interrupted impatiently: "Don't interrupt, you came up with that kind of ciphertext?" And what's the deal with that weird letter? ”

Master Ma came back to his senses from self-pity, but his face was still full of misery.

"The mystery of the ciphertext was told to me by Vice Admiral Xiao, and I don't know where he learned it. And that strange letter is different from the previous one, and I can't solve it at all! But the words on the letter that look like Mengtong's graffiti are all in the thousand-character text, if I hadn't stayed up late for three days without results, and then ate a bad stomach, the most important letter would not have gone wrong. ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help but be a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the secret letter that he and his students thought was forged, and Wang Datou later believed that it was another mystery, actually appeared on the desk of the rebel party in the Linhai camp for a time, and people were even dazzled...... He groaned for a moment, then laughed.

"But I heard that Wang Dayin unraveled these secret letters at the court meeting that day, and it was extremely eye-catching for this. Shouldn't the contents of that letter have been made public? Even if you don't get scattered among the people, it shouldn't be difficult to ask, why are you looking for me? Moreover, the rebellion of the Linhai camp has been put down, and you still pursue the letter, even at the risk of risk, don't you think it's too stupid? ”

"Because of the content of the secret letter we inquired about, we felt that it was not right at all! Moreover, who made the fool of General Liu Shen think that Vice General Xiao had been in the camp in Linhai for many years and had been greedy for countless ink, and there must be a secret in the relationship between that letter, maybe it was related to the person he hooked up, and it was related to the gold and silver treasures that Vice General Xiao was greedy for ink but did not find. Let's figure it out, maybe there's a chance to make a comeback! ”

Master Ma looked at Zhang Shou as he spoke, struggling to get up. However, because his hands and feet were tied, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. But even if he broke a tooth and the blood flowed, he couldn't help but scream.

"Dr. Zhang, I'm half a dead man now, please tell me what is written in that letter, otherwise I won't be reconciled even if I go to the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring!"

Zhang Shou was slightly stunned, then smiled and said lightly: "I, a person who does not discuss academic issues with a dying traitor. You are not willing to go down to the Nine Shades Yellow Spring, so go to the Nine Shades Yellow Springs to continue counting! ”

Why should I satisfy your curiosity after putting me at risk for a night?

Seeing Zhang Shou take Ah Liu and turn around and leave, Hua Qi glanced down at Master Ma, who was like ashes, and suddenly laughed.

Such an answer...... That's good!

Even for a dying traitor, there is no need to have any compassion!
