Zhang said to Liu Xiufu: "Your Majesty is gracious! If the nobleman is not idle and the concubine is bored, the concubine is of course willing to go to the palace and talk with the nobleman. ”

Yin Lihua smiled: "It's too late for me to welcome, how can I get bored?"

Mrs. Sister-in-law is too polite. ”

Walking out of the gate of Feng's mansion, Liu Xiu said to Zhang: "Gongsun is not in the capital, my sister-in-law doesn't need to see me, if you are in trouble, just come to the palace to find me!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Xiu explained a few more words, and then said goodbye to the Zhang family and left the Feng Mansion with Yin Lihua.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at Yin Lihua, who still had a smile on her face, Liu Xiu smiled and asked, "It seems that Lihua has a very good impression of Mrs. Feng." ”

Yin Lihua said: "Mrs. Feng was born in everyone, she is well-informed, and she is also quite knowledgeable and insightful. ”

Most of Luoyang's founding ministers were born with mud legs.

In fact, this is also very understandable, people of noble and prominent birth are vested interests, and they do not need to risk losing their heads and follow Liu Xiu to rebel.

The wives of these ministers who were born in mud legs are basically peasant women, and Yin Lihua and them naturally do not have much common language.

It's not that Yin Lihua looks down on them, but everyone sits together and really has nothing to talk about.

Yin Lihua was not interested in the things they were talking about, and they couldn't talk about the things that Yin Lihua was interested in, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Among the many ministers' wives, Zhang is one of the few people who can make Yin Lihua look at her differently and is willing to chat with her.

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "It is indeed difficult for some strong people to let Mrs. Feng take the initiative to come to the palace to find you, so let's do it, when you are free, you can let Xue Ying and Hongjian go to Feng's mansion and invite Mrs. Feng into the palace!" ”

Zhang's personality is very similar to Feng Yi, they are low-key people who don't like publicity, although Liu Xiuyou invited Zhang's family, but people are also hindered by the Son of Heaven's affection, and they just deal with it on the surface, but in fact, they may not take the initiative to come to the palace.

Yin Lihua sent a personal maid to invite Mrs. Feng, it would be much more sincere, and Mrs. Feng would inevitably come.

Yin Lihua, who was smart in Bingxue, immediately understood what Liu Xiu meant, nodded with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty is reasonable. ”

The carriage returned the same way, and when it passed by the small alley it had passed earlier, it was just in time for Zhang Ben to check the patterns left by Luo You in the small alley.

He was sure that the pattern left on the wall was the contact code used by Gongsun Shuxi.

He looked at the front and back of the small alley, it was quiet and closed, no one passed by on weekdays, and he left a contact code here, so what did he mean?

He hung his head and looked to the ground, just in time to see the small half-flattened dirt pit.

He crouched down and poked his fingers in the dirt pit, and there was nothing in it.

The swarthy young man standing on the side suddenly remembered, and said urgently: "Brother Ben, when we saw her, she was sorting out her shoes, and now that I think about it, she should not be sorting out her shoes, but trying to bury something in this pit!" ”

When Zhang Ben heard this, his eyes flashed.

The swarthy young man sighed and said, "Oops! If we come out a little later, we can catch her! It must have been our presence that made her give up her plan to bury something! ”

If that's what he says, it's quite possible! Zhang Ben nodded thoughtfully.

They were talking in the alley, and another young man who was wandering at the mouth of the alley suddenly saw two carriages in front of them, and the one who rode to the carriage was not Long Xiao or who?

The young man was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran into the alley, walked quickly to Zhang Ben and the others, and said urgently: "Ben...... Ben Ge, Long ...... The dragon is coming! ”

"What?"

Zhang Ben was shocked, subconsciously stood up, and looked at the young man in surprise.

The young man pointed to the outside of the alley and said, "Long Xiao, they are back again!" ”

The swarthy young man's eyes rolled, and he said urgently: "Long Xiao may have realized that the code would be exposed, and made a special trip back to eliminate the evidence!" ”

Zhang Ben frowned, pondered for a moment, shook his head at several officials around him, and said, "Go!" ”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out.

He walked out of the small alley, and the carriage that Liu Xiu was riding just approached.

Zhang Ben took a few steps forward, blocked in front of the carriage, and looked up, Long Xiao was indeed there, and not only Long Xiao was there, but also Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and even Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei were all there.

Zhang Ben, who was still holding Xingshi to ask for guilt, immediately softened his momentum, he secretly swallowed his saliva, hurriedly bowed forward, and said: "Zhang Ben, the lieutenant of Luoyang County, meet the generals!" ”

Zhang Ben didn't know that Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua were in the carriage, today they were riding in an ordinary carriage, not a special imperial chariot for the Son of Heaven, Zhang Ben naturally couldn't guess who was sitting in the carriage.

Long Yuan and Long Zhun, who were driving the car, hurriedly pulled the reins back and stopped the car in a hurry, and then, the two of them both showed displeasure and stared at Zhang Ben with cold eyes.

He recklessly jumped out of the alley and blocked in front of the carriage, if he stopped a little slower, he would not crush this Luoyang County Lieutenant to death! Long Xiao also frowned, urged the horse forward, and asked in a deep voice, "County Lieutenant Zhang, what are you doing here?" ”

"Uh...... "Of course Zhang Ben can't say that I came here to investigate your dragon Xiao!" He reacted quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiaguan is passing by, Xiaguan happens to be passing by!" I didn't expect to meet a few generals here, it's really fate, haha-" He didn't laugh hard, and his smile was ugly enough.

At this time, Zhang Ben collectively greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the swarthy young brothers, if only Long Xiao was bought by Gongsun Shu, then it may be possible, but to say that Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao, Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei were all bought by Gongsun Shu, it is simply a big joke in the world, and there is no such possibility at all.

Zhang Ben had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and felt that his original guess was probably right, Long Xiao deliberately left Gongsun Shu's contact code in the alley, and he had a secret mission, obviously, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei were also involved in this mission.

Long Yuan glanced at Zhang Ben, who had nothing to say, and said, "If there is nothing else, please ask County Lieutenant Zhang to let go!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The next official will avoid it! Avoid! ”

Zhang Ben nodded and stepped aside.

The swarthy young man was anxious, walked quickly to Zhang Ben's side, and said urgently: "Brother Ben, that girl should be in the carriage!" ”

He was hiding in the alley, and Long Xiao couldn't notice him, but now that he came out, Long Xiao immediately recognized that these were the two little ruffians who were teasing Luo You?

He squinted his eyes, looked at Zhang Ben, and asked, "Does County Lieutenant Zhang know the two of them?" ”

"Uh...... Be...... Oh, yes! ”

Zhang Ben's head immediately broke out with a layer of sweat.

The corners of Long Xiao's mouth were hooked, he looked at the swarthy young man, and asked with a smile, "You want to find that girl?" ”

"She's a public ......" Before the swarthy young man's words were finished, Zhang Ben took the first step, raised his hand to cover his mouth, dragged the swarthy young man to the side of the road again and again, and said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding...... The swarthy young man also wanted to move Zhang Ben's hand, and the latter stepped on his foot underneath.

If you want to die, that's okay, don't take Lao Tzu with you to die! With Long Yuan's level, can they participate in and interrogate the cases they secretly investigated?

Long Xiao was about to speak, but Long Yuan said impatiently: "Okay, Long Xiao, we should go." ”

Long Xiao's eyes were deep, and his gaze swept sharply over the faces of Zhang Ben and the swarthy young man, and he snorted and urged the horse to continue walking.

Zhang Ben stood on the side of the road, bowing respectfully, and did not straighten up until both carriages passed in front of him.

This chance encounter between them can be said to have a misunderstanding between both parties.

Zhang Ben mistakenly thought that Long Zhun and Long Xiao deliberately left Gongsun Shu's contact code, the purpose was to do a secret investigation, and deliberately lured Gongsun Shu's details to the bait.

And Long Xiao mistakenly thought that the two young men didn't know their identities, and they didn't die for Luo You's thief, so they specially invited the Luoyang County Lieutenant to help.

Originally, he didn't have a good impression of Zhang Ben, but he didn't have a bad impression either, but now Zhang Ben is actually mixed with the little ruffian and helps the little ruffian get ahead, if it is not himself today, but ordinary people, will they really succeed?

The respective misunderstandings between the two sides allowed Luo You to escape.

Luo You, who was sitting in the carriage in the back, could see everything that happened outside the car clearly.

She really didn't expect that the code she left behind would attract the attention of the two thugs, and even found the county lieutenant of Luoyang.

Realizing that he was too careless and left such evidence of the crime, Luo was scared out of a cold sweat for a while.

She thought that her identity was about to be exposed, and she began to imagine how she was going to get out, but she didn't expect that things would pass by accident.

When the carriage came out of this small alley, Luo You couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, this time it was really dangerous! She raised her hand and touched her forehead, already sweating.

She subconsciously looked at Zhang Kun, who was also in the carriage, who was also staring at her.

"You're not going to make any more trouble, are you?"

Zhang Kun asked angrily.

In Zhang Kun's eyes, Luo You is a troublemaker, when she came, she wanted to go to the toilet, and now when she went back, she suddenly sweated in her head, this is going to make trouble?

"Son-of-law...... The maid is fine......" Luo Yu shrunk his shoulders and whispered.

Zhang Kun glanced at her, retracted his gaze impatiently, closed his eyes and recuperated, and stopped looking at her.

When he was about to approach the palace, Liu Xiu lifted the curtains of the car and looked outside, it was still early, and he called: "Long Xiao! ”

Hearing the words, Long Xiao immediately urged the horse to come to the carriage and whispered, "Childe! ”

Liu Xiu asked: "In Luoyang City, what is the name of the best wine house (restaurant)?" ”

Long Xiao thought for a moment and said, "The newly opened Drunken Incense Pavilion has a great reputation, and its gold paste is the most sought after. ”

Gold pulp is the name of the wine, because the color of the wine is yellow, so it is named gold pulp.

In fact, the golden syrup is cane wine, which has a sweet taste.

Liu Xiu asked, "Is the Drunken Incense Pavilion far from here?" ”

Long Xiao was stunned for a moment, and replied: "It's not far away, it's in Nanshi." ”

The current Luoyang Imperial Palace, in fact, is the South Palace in the North and South Palaces of Luoyang, the North Palace has not yet begun to build, the Imperial Palace is located in the south of the city, and the South City is naturally also in the south of the city, located in the south of the Imperial Palace, which is indeed not far away.

Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "It's hard to get out of the palace today, let's go to the Drunken Xiang Pavilion to sit and taste the wine there." ”

"This ......" Long Xiao was a little embarrassed by Liu Xiu's whims, but Yin Lihua was happy, she couldn't remember how long she hadn't been to the wine house.

Seeing that Long Xiao didn't reply for a long time, Liu Xiu asked puzzledly, "The Drunken Xiang Pavilion didn't open today?" ”

"No......" "Then let's go!"

Liu Xiu said with a smile.

Long Xiao nodded helplessly, answered, and urged the horse to explain to Long Yuan and Long Zhun who were driving the car, that His Majesty was going to the Drunken Xiang Pavilion to drink.

Hearing Long Xiao's words, Long Yuan and Long Zhun also frowned secretly, they left the palace today, but they didn't make too many preparations, and now they want to go to a place like the Drunken Xiang Pavilion where there are many people, it is inevitably a little inappropriate.

Seeing that the two of them did not speak, Long Xiao whispered, "Your Majesty insists on going." ”
