Zhang You was accompanied by Castro and Luo Mingjian to eat at dinner, and during the banquet, it was inevitable that he would have to talk about the mountains and rivers from all over the world, Zhang You's rich knowledge moved the two, especially about Europe, about the international situation, about science and technology, almost no one could make it difficult for him, but a sentence he said casually could make people think deeply.

People with ability are always invisibly respected, and Castro has already put away his arrogance and threw himself to the ground for Zhang You's admiration. Luo Mingjian also became more and more appreciative of Zhang You, and bluntly said that it was no wonder that the Alfred brothers and sisters were willing to contribute to him, and if he was useful in the future, he would also ask Zhang You not to be polite, and he would definitely help him.

Of course, he showed such enthusiasm and naturally had his own selfish motives, which was nothing more than hoping that Zhang You would show the current saints and allow them to come to the interior of the Ming Dynasty to preach.

He expressed his meaning in this regard more vaguely, Zhang You verbally promised that he would help, but he did not take it to heart in his selfish heart - it is not excluded that there are really kind priests, such as Luo Mingjian, but the essence of missionary work is nothing more than a cultural invasion. Yes, Huaxia is eclectic, and it can achieve its broadness, but this does not mean that he Zhang You has to contribute to the introduction of Christianity to China. At the very least, compared to the compassionate Buddha, he didn't like Jesus who was betrayed by his own disciples and crucified.

Guests and hosts have fun.

Soon after returning to the mansion after dinner, Ruyan led a woman into the door, because Shen Wan'er had been informed in advance, so Zhang You guessed that it must be the skilled tailor of the old Longji shop, and couldn't help but look at it, but saw that he was about fifty years old, his gray hair was curled high, a headband was tied on his forehead, his face was ruddy, his body was slightly bloated, and he walked slowly and orderly, looking very calm.

"Fifth brother, this is the seventh woman, the wife of the owner of the old Longji shop, the seventh woman, this is the Maritime Governor Zhang Zicheng Zhang."

Ruyan smiled and made an introduction, and the seventh woman respectfully respected a thousand blessings: "See the master of the army, the old body is so polite, I have seen Mrs." ”

"The seventh woman doesn't need to be polite, and she doesn't need to be restrained, my father-in-law is a very good person to get along with." Shen Wan'er said with a smile, and while instructing the maid Cuizhu to pour tea, she looked very close.

The eyes are the window of the soul, Zhang You deliberately looked at the seventh woman, and found that the other party looked calm, his eyes were peaceful, and he did not dodge, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but the tense nerves also subconsciously relaxed, and said with a smile: "Okay, Cuizhu, don't pour tea, it's not early, or quickly lead the seventh woman to measure the size of the two mothers, the two mothers have been looking forward to it since noon, and they are afraid that they have been waiting for a long time...... I'm sorry, Seventh Mother, it's not too late for us to measure the size of the two mothers. ”

"Lord Commander is too polite...... I wonder who you can lead the way? ”

"Let's go, I'll lead you myself." Zhang You said very politely, but he still maintained a trace of vigilance in his heart, and he had to be by his side in person to feel at ease.

The group went out to Qifeng Pavilion, like smoke stained, and also followed.

After seeing the seventh woman, the two mothers were really happy, let her measure the size, and stayed to ask about the customs and folklore, and then let her leave.

Zhang You sent it to the Hanging Flower Gate, and watched Ruyan go away, so he heard Shen Wan'er smile and said, "How about Xianggong, this seventh woman shouldn't be suspicious, right?" ”

"It's hard to say, I suddenly feel that she is too calm, according to her identity, it's just a matter of seeing me, seeing the two mothers, why shouldn't she be so calm. Don't you feel abnormal? Zhang You frowned and said.

"Xianggong, you are a bit of a picky egg, I heard Ruyan say, the seventh woman is a person who has made clothes for Xu Jie, and she is well-informed, so it's not strange to have this performance, right?"

"She also made clothes for Xu Jie?" Zhang You was stunned, probably because he was too allergic*, as long as he had contact with Xu Jie, he could make him suspicious.

"Well, she has debuted for many years, and her craftsmanship is well-known, and many officials and nobles in the surrounding prefectures and counties have invited her to make clothes, and it is not uncommon for Xu Jie."

"I hope I'm too careful, anyway, it's just to make a dress, and it is estimated that it won't threaten the safety of the two mothers, just keep more snacks when you make the clothes and send them in."

The two walked back while chatting, and suddenly, Zhang You was alarmed and turned back suddenly, but when he saw a black light coming towards him, he subconsciously reached out to the side, just grabbed it, but found that it was an arrow that went to the arrow, and a note was tied at the end of the arrow, and he hurriedly looked in the direction where the arrow came, but saw a black shadow on the roof in front of him as fast as a streamer, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, so fast that it was a hallucination.

"Look at what's written?" Shen Wan'er was shocked and said hurriedly.

The guards at the gate also noticed the situation here, and a few ran towards this side, while the rest went after the dark shadow. Seeing this, Zhang You hurriedly ordered them not to panic, to return to their own duties, and not to chase them.

The guards followed the order and returned to their original positions, Zhang You took down the note, and took a look at it by the light of the lanterns hanging on the trees on the side of the road, but saw the four small words on it: "Be careful of the seven women", and then there was no other content.

"Be careful of the Seventh Mother?" Shen Wan'er also tilted her head: "What do you mean?" This is a special warning, who is warning and why don't you dare to show up, but you use this method, is it credible? ”

"I can't answer any of your questions, I only know that the person who warned him was strong in martial arts, and he should still be above the lack of travelers...... Who could it be? Why send such a message? Zhang You said with a wry smile, but when he said it, he muttered to himself, and his brows were raised.

Zhang You led Li Caifeng and Wang Xijie to live in Hangzhou for three days, during which they did not receive similar warnings. When he returned to Chongming, Mary, the chief engineer of the Zhenhai, reported that the preparations for the trial of the Zhenhai were all ready, so Zhang You ordered that the trial ceremony would be held on the morning of the third day.

In the evening of this day, the seventh woman personally sent the clothes made for the two mothers, remembering the warning of the flying arrows that night, Zhang You couldn't help but have a little more heart, and asked the seventh woman to leave the clothes, and did not send them to Qifeng Pavilion immediately, but personally checked them.

The results of the examination were astonishing, it turned out that all of these clothes were poisoned with an unconfirmed composition, and they were all cleverly hidden, all of them were hidden on the sewn silk threads, and there was no problem with the short contact time, but once they were worn on the body for a long time, they would evaporate and enter the human body along the pores, and they could kill people silently.

Seeing this result, Zhang You was furious, hurriedly found the traveler and Li Yan, said to Li Wenjin, and personally led a hundred heavenly guards to leave the mansion and go straight to the old store of Longji.

Before that, he had already instructed Li Yan to find Ruyan in person and control him.
