Red makeup against the world

Chapter 170 Shadow Rain Disappears
Feng Jiu's expression was solemn: "This matter is too weird. Yu Yi is the one who stayed in Beijing to preside over the overall situation of Yu Group. Most likely, it was the work of those mysterious knights. After that day, those knights seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of them."

The wind and rain groups that can make the shadow guards can't find any clues. What is the origin of these knights?As soon as he showed his head, he had a clear goal, pointing directly at Yingfeng and Yingyu, and there was no trace afterwards, obviously it was carefully planned.

Yingfeng was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Where is Yinglei?"

Mentioning Yinglei, Feng Jiu looked a little weird, and said: "Master Yinglei arrived in Beijing six days ago, and heard the news that Yingyu was missing and Sir was intercepted and killed. He seemed to be a different person. He went to the palace to meet the Lord. When I came back, I searched for traces of Yingyu without sleep."

Ying Lei and Ying Yu have always been at odds, this is a well-known fact in the Shadow Guard.The disappearance of Ying Yu made him so anxious, which surprised everyone.It's just that what Yinglei is good at is not the way of news, even the two groups of wind and rain can't find traces, how can he find them?

Feng Ba added: "When Yingyu returned to Beijing, Yu Yu's team disguised themselves as a caravan selling tea. The last time Beijing received news, they were in Chuzhou, and then the entire caravan disappeared without a trace. In just a few days, Yinglei has gone back and forth to Chuzhou, but has not gained anything."

Chuzhou is a place where rivers and rivers converge. Only the big rivers have Sishui and Tongji Canal, and there are countless other tributary rivers.Missing here, where Ying Yu is now, it is really difficult to guess.

Shadow guards were semi-public existences in the court, and dealing with them was tantamount to openly confronting Emperor Qinglong.No matter which side the power is, it will not make such a bad move.Who did it?Yingfeng thought hard and couldn't find a solution, so he had to put it aside for now, and wait until he enters the palace tomorrow and returns to the Lord.

In the early morning of the next day, just as the morning drum sounded, the sergeant of Anximen yawned and shook the noose to open the city gate.Yiqi, who was already waiting in front of the door, showed the Shadow Guard Talisman and rushed out of the city.

He came to the house in Fengjiu's stronghold, kicked off his horse, ignored Feng Jiu's stunned expression, and went straight in.

Shadow Wind has finished his sword practice, and is squatting on the bluestone strip in the courtyard, gargling with coarse salt.Seeing his tired and anxious expression, he quickly took the clean water, washed up carelessly, and went forward: "Lei, why is it so early? I also said that I will go to the city later, and I will find you to meet the Lord together."

Yinglei pursed his thin lips, and the blue stubble on his chin became more obvious. He exuded a murderous aura from his whole body, and asked in a cold voice, "What are the characteristics of those knights?"

Knowing that Yinglei's character is like this, and that he is concerned about Yingyu's whereabouts, Yingfeng doesn't care about his bad tone, recalling: "There is nothing special about him, his face is ordinary, his skills are superb, and his moves are fierce. It's a desperate game. From the beginning to the end, I didn't even hear a word from them."

Hearing that, Yinglei frowned fiercely, Yingfeng was the only one who had seen them.How does this make him do it?

Seeing that he was anxious, Yingfeng expressed the result of his thinking and analysis in the past few days: "You can relax, since the other party is coming towards me and Yingyu, they must have a plan. Otherwise, they are hiding so deeply, there is no need to take risks. At the risk of revealing their identities, come to deal with us. Yingyu should be safe now."

Yinglei remained silent, Yingfeng entered the room and changed his clothes, and said again: "I am going to meet the lord to return to life today, do you want to come with me?"

Yinglei nodded.

In the Princess Mansion, King Qi and Princess Zhaoyang sit opposite each other and drink tea.

Princess Zhaoyang smiled brightly like clouds: "He really said that?"

"Looking at Fan Bin, he is not a person who is desperate. He made this request just to test us." King Qi leaned on the railing behind him with a relaxed attitude.

Princess Zhaoyang kept the Princess Mansion in good order. Because she was a daughter, Emperor Qinglong did not monitor her closely. Even the Shadow Guards only sent members of the Rain Team to serve as maids for the Princess Mansion.If there is something you don't want them to know, Princess Zhaoyang naturally has various ways to arrange it properly.

Therefore, here is the most relaxing moment for King Qi.He can say a lot of things with confidence, and he doesn't have to hold some manners.

Princess Zhaoyang picked up the teacup and took a deep breath of the tea fragrance, feeling refreshed.He waved his hand to let the tea-making maid back down, and said: "What the emperor said is true. General Long let Fan Bin enter the capital at this time, and there will be no reason for nothing. Whether we can win his support or not, Fan Bin's marriage proposal is up to us. Do your best."

King Qi stretched out his sword eyebrows, and said in a loud voice: "After the 'Peony Flower Festival', the imperial sister can arrange someone to go to Tu's house, and test her words first. Anyway, Miss Xu's family is only 14 years old this year, and there are two years left. She's just out of filial piety. The Xu family probably hasn't started talking about her marriage yet."

"Yes." Princess Zhaoyang nodded slightly.

In terms of background alone, Xu Wanzhen is a daughter of a merchant, even when the Xu family existed as the leader of the Jiangnan Road silk business, she could not climb up to the General's Mansion.What's more, now that the Xu family is in decline, the range of options for her to discuss marriage is not wide.As Tu Shanchang, she is very likely to marry a poor student with good character as his wife.

But in terms of appearance and talent, in Princess Zhaoyang's heart, it is all right for her to marry into those wealthy families and be the wife of the clan.However, how could these noble families marry the daughter of a mere run-down businessman as their eldest daughter-in-law?It is impossible for a concubine's daughter-in-law to marry a merchant's daughter, and she will be ridiculed as short-sighted for profit.

Unless you are a concubine, it is possible to marry into those high families.However, with Xu Wanzhen's upbringing manner and Tu Shan's reputation, how could she tolerate her being a concubine?Therefore, Fan Bin, as the adopted son of General Long, doesn't need to pay attention to the difference of family, and he fell in love with Xu Wanzhen at first sight, so he is Xu Wanzhen's best choice.

Princess Zhaoyang believes that this matter is not difficult.There is no need to beautify Fan Bin's conditions. As long as his own people make his sincerity clear, the elders of the Xu family will think more clearly than himself.

"Marrying a woman is like being reincarnated a second time. Since the Xu family has worked hard on Xu Wanzhen, of course they will not easily choose a husband for her." Princess Zhaoyang calmly said, "If you can marry into the General Zhenxi's mansion, It's not Fan Bin's adopted son status, this is an unattainable marriage, I believe Master Tu Shan will also agree."

King Qi shook his folding fan lightly, and said with a smile: "I can't be more relieved if the imperial sister takes action." In the past few years, as long as Princess Zhaoyang wanted to do something, she has never failed, which is why Yangzhou Governor Peng heard "Yunshang" is the property of Princess Zhaoyang, so the reason for her great help.

After thinking about it, King Qi asked again: "However, what if the Xu family has other plans and is unwilling?"

An unknown smile flickered across the corner of Princess Zhaoyang's mouth: "If you don't want to, don't forget that Xu Changzong and his son are still imprisoned in Dali Temple."
