Chapter 88: How is he?

Chapter 88: How is he?

    Hearing this, Wen Chi was stunned for a long time before he said, "General Lin, can you tell me what is the urgent matter?"

    General Lin's face was very ugly, his brows were twisted into a Sichuan shape, and he was silent for a long time before answering Wen Chi's words: "The emperor is seriously ill, the fourth prince and I have to go back and have a look."

    Wen Chi was surprised.

    Sure enough, I came to this plot...

    General Lin saw Wen Chi's surprised expression, the suspicion in his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he seemed to be relieved, and turned the topic back: "Wen Master Wen wants to go back with us? "

    General Lin has been fighting abroad for many years, wielding knives and guns, and relying on fists to speak many things. He does not hide his thoughts like other people, so the emotions that flashed in his eyes just now are not missing The ground was seen by Wen Chi.

    Wen Chi is not a fool, he can guess with his toes that General Lin suspects that he is someone arranged by His Royal Highness.

    It's no wonder that even if they met each other in the name of brothers, General Lin still kept a certain distance from him. Maybe General Lin was always guarding him. After all, General Lin was half of the four princes.

    It's just the fourth prince to General Lin...

    Wen Chi suddenly felt sorry for the fourth prince, and he didn't know if the fourth prince could resist the attraction of the stone to him.

    In case the four princes fail to hold fast and fall in love with General Lin for a long time because of the stone... Although the combination of the fourth prince and General Lin is a bit strange, but if they are really good, From now on, there will be nothing to be gentle.

    This is a good thing for Wenchi!

    But this is not the time to think about—

    Hearing this, General Lin was obviously stunned: "Aren't you going back?"

    Wen Chi shook his head: "I'll stay here."

    Since Wen Chi's idea has been decided, General Lin, as an outsider, can't interfere any more. He nodded and told Wen Chi to pay more attention to safety, and said that the capital would arrange a replacement for the fourth prince. The official in charge of the affairs came over, and if Wenchi had any problems, he could go to that official.

    Wen Chi responded one by one.

    The time was urgent, and the people of the Fourth Prince came to urge General Lin. After General Lin said goodbye to Wen Chi, he hurried away with that person.

    The temporary departure of the fourth prince and General Lin from Jinzhou did not have much impact on Wenchi, but the affairs arranged by the fourth prince changed quite a bit, and Wenchi was more troublesome to deal with it than before. Not a big deal.

    What Wen Chi didn't expect was that on the night when the Fourth Prince and General Lin set off, someone knocked on his door.

    He went to open the door.

    A familiar maid was standing outside.

    Wen Chi thought for a while before remembering that this maid was one of the group of maid guards sent to him by the emperor.

    It would be even more strange to say that this maid would knock on his door at night.

    Wen Chi was vigilant, stepped back quietly, and pretended to close the door.

    The next moment, he suddenly heard the maid shout: "Young Master Wen."

    Wen Chi: “…”

    Isn't this Zuozhi's voice?

    The maid said, "Young Master Wen, can the maid come in?"

    It's Zuozhi's voice.

    So he stepped aside and watched the maid walk into the room.

    Zuo Zhi changed into the appearance of a maid, and did not intend to return to her original state. She went straight to the table, stopped, and turned to look at Wen Chi, whose expression was indescribable.

    "Young Master Wen." Zuo Zhi Fushen, "Excuse the servants to disturb the son so late."

    Wen Chi waved his hand: "It's okay."

    In the past, he felt that Prince Gou was very arrogant. While pretending to be disabled, he was not afraid that others would find him pretending to be disabled.

    Now he realizes that not only the Prince Gou is arrogant, but even the people around Prince Gou are also arrogant. As soon as the Fourth Prince and General Lin left, Zuo Zhi easily knocked on his door .

    Everything goes to the Three Treasures Palace, Zuozhi definitely didn't come to chat with him at night.

    Wen Chi poured a cup of tea and put it on the table in front of Zuozhi, and made another gesture: "Sit down and talk about something."

    Zuo Zhi said: "Xie Gongzi."

    Despite what she said, she didn't mean to sit down at all.

    Seeing this, Wen Chi did not force her, so he sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

    Zuo Zhi waited for Wenchi to finish taking a sip of tea, and then said softly, "Young Master Wen, did you read the letter that His Royal Highness Prince Prince wrote to him?"

    Wen Chi immediately understood that Zuo Zhi was talking about the note with only one sentence.

    He said succinctly: "Look."

    Zuo Zhi thought that Wen Chi would continue to talk, but she waited for a while, but she did not wait for any words from Wen Chi, so she had to speak again: "The slave will accompany Young Master Wen at any time. When the son needs help, he will order the servants at any time."

    Wen Chi said: "Okay."

    After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup with both hands and took another sip of the tea.

    Zuo Zhi just stared at Wen Chi so quietly, she watched Wen Chi drink most of the cup of tea, but she still didn't say a word, as if she didn't care what was written in the letter .

    Stalemate for half a day.

    Zuo Zhi was restrained, but Wen Chi became more and more puzzled. He carefully put the teacup on the table and raised his eyes to look at Zuo Zhi, whose expression was gradually dignified.

    He asked in a low voice, "Miss Zuozhi, do you have anything else to do?"

    Zuo Zhi shook his head, nodded again, and finally said, "This servant is here to let Young Master Wen know that the servant has finished speaking, so don't disturb Young Master Wen's rest."

    Wen Chi got up: "I'll take you out."

    Zuo Zhi rejected him: "The slaves can go out by themselves. Young Master Wen should rest early."

    Wen Chi was not polite when she heard what she said. He sat back directly, and even picked up the teapot and poured himself a full cup of tea, and politely said without raising his head: "Miss Zuozhi is slow Walk."

    Left branch: "…"

    Actually, Zuo Zhi didn't know what was written in the letter from His Royal Highness Prince to Wen Gongzi, but Eunuch Zhu specially instructed her before he left, if Wen Gongzi would go somewhere after reading the letter , be sure to follow Young Master Wen.

    That's why she came to the door.

    How could she know that Young Master Wen didn't care about that letter, and didn't care about the current situation of His Royal Highness at all, she thought Young Master Wen didn't ask last time, at least this time she couldn't help asking two more questions sentence.

    Unfortunately…

    Zuo Zhi glanced at Wenchi, who was drinking tea and wandering without any concern, and remembered that Eunuch Zhu said that His Royal Highness often sat on the seat that Young Master Wen often sat on after returning to the palace. After sitting for an hour or two, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

    His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone, won’t Young Master Wen even pretend?

    Zuo Zhi wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say, if His Royal Highness learned that she was talking in front of Young Master Wen, death would be a lighter punishment.

    Wen Chi saw that a cup of tea was going to bottom again, he looked up, but saw Zuo Zhi still standing there, staring at him with dark eyes, not sure what he was thinking .

    However, when Wen Chi saw Zuo Zhi's eyes at this moment, his heart froze, and goosebumps arose, he quickly put down the teacup, and asked for the second time, "Miss Zuozhi, are you okay? "

    After speaking, she turned around and walked out.

    Wen Chi looked at Zuozhi's figure and suddenly remembered one thing: "Yes, Miss Zuozhi."

    "..." Wen Chi didn't know what Zuo Zhi was happy about, he touched his nose inexplicably, and then asked, "The girl you pretended to be, where did she go? Is she all right?"

    Left branch: "…"

    So Wen Chi saw the surprise on Zuo Zhi's face fading like a tide.

    For a while, Wen Chi became even more inexplicable.

    After a while, Zuo Zhi smiled reluctantly: "It turns out that Young Master Wen is worried about her, but the slaves thought Young Master Wen was worried..."

    Wen Chi scratched his head: "Who is worried?"

    His Royal Highness Prince, Zuo Zhi thought, but did not dare to say these four words.

    She shook her head: "It's nothing." After that, she added, "Young Master Wen, don't worry, that girl is temporarily placed in a very safe place by me. When Master Wen decides to leave for Beijing, I will naturally If you let that girl go, she won't suffer any grievances."

    With Zuozhi's guarantee, Wen Chi was relieved: "That's good."

    Next day.

    Wen Chi asked Ruofang to arrange Zuozhi to serve him, and let Zuozhi go outside with him.

    For this, Ruofang was very dissatisfied, although she did not dare to lose her temper at Wenchi, but when Wenchi had breakfast, Ruofang stared at him from the side, The grief on his body is almost condensed into reality.

    Wen Chi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, after thinking about it, he still called Ruofang and Zuozhi over, and briefly explained to Ruofang—in short, Zuozhi knows martial arts, and his martial arts are not low, so he can protect him. He is more reliable than those guards.

    However, if Fang didn't believe what he said, the little girl pouted and looked extremely aggrieved: "Young master only knows her, how do you know she knows martial arts?"

    As soon as she finished speaking, Zuo Zhi silently walked to the table, picked up the rest of the chopsticks, placed it in the palm of her hand, closed her five fingers, and then exerted a little force. The small chopstick rest was abruptly broken into seven or eight pieces.

    Ruo Fang looked at the chopstick rests, then looked at Zuo Zhi's expressionless face, and swallowed silently.

    Wen Chi walked into the hall and saw a man with his back to him talking with Zhou Zhifu.

    Wen Chi walked forward and looked carefully.

    Before he approached, the man heard footsteps and turned around abruptly. Seeing that it was Wen Chi, he narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Master Wen, long time no see."

    Wen Chi was shocked: "Master Yin!"

    The official who took over the affairs of the Fourth Prince was actually Yin Shangshu who helped him once!

    Zhou Zhifu's surprised eyes wandered between Yin Shangshu and Wen Chi for two or three times, and hesitantly said: "Master Yin and Young Master Wen are old acquaintances?"

    After listening to Zhou Zhifu's words, Wen Chi realized that Yin Shangshu didn't know about his change of identity, and suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

    But before he could speak, he saw Yin Shangshu nodded and said with a smile, "Young Master Wen is General Lin's fourth brother. I know General Lin, and naturally I also know him."

    Wen Chi held it in his throat in one breath, and then slowly let it go.

    Zhou Zhifu smiled embarrassedly: "So it is, I took the liberty."

    After chatting for a while, Yin Shangshu called everyone to hold a brief meeting in the main hall to get a general understanding of the current progress of locust control.

    Now with the support of the capital, everyone performs their own duties. Although the progress is slow, the situation in Jinzhou is gradually improving. It’s just that you can’t eat a big fat man. If you want to stabilize the disaster , but also requires a lot of time and human and material resources, this is a protracted war.

    It seems that autumn has already begun, and when winter comes, many things will become difficult to handle, and everyone has a sense of urgency.

    Until the sun sets, a large cloud of fire spreads across the sky.

    Yin Shangshu let everyone go away.

    Wen Chi had something to tell Yin Shangshu, but considering the inconvenience at the moment, he planned to go back and talk about it, but Yin Shangshu stopped him first: "Young Master Wen, you stay here for now. ."

    So Wen Chi stayed in the envious eyes of others.

    After only Wen Chi and Yin Shangshu were left in the hall, Wen Chi walked over quickly, and sat on the chair opposite Yin Shangshu under Yin Shangshu's gesture.

    "Sir Yin, thanks to you for covering me just now, I'm really grateful."

    Master Yin smiled indifferently: "It's not worth the effort."

    Speaking of this, Wen Chi became curious again: "But then again, how did Master Yin know that I claimed to be Lin Yuan, the fourth brother of General Lin."

     Shi Ye?

    Wen Chi was stunned for a long time, but couldn't hold back, Na Na asked, "How is your Royal Highness?"

    Yin Shangshu sighed, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Not good."
