When Zhang Chu heard that Prince Xiao Jie came to visit him, Zhang Chu almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

After all, Xiao Jie is the crown prince of Daning, and as the eyes and ears of the emperor, his identities are very sensitive. If they communicate too frequently, a little carelessness may attract criticism from ministers, and even worse. It may arouse the suspicion of the emperor, thinking that there are some ulterior things conspiring between the two.

What's more, now that the emperor is unconscious due to poisoning, in this case, they should avoid suspicion, but they never expected that Xiao Jie would come to the door at such a delicate moment.

But in any case, Xiao Jie is the prince of Jian Guo, the future heir of Daning, and Zhang Chu will never dare to offend him. Now that Xiao Jie has appeared outside his house, Zhang Chu is not good either. He shut the other party out and avoided seeing him, so he could only go out the door to greet Xiao Jie's arrival in person.

"See His Royal Highness."

Following a commotion, Zhang Chu personally led dozens of servants and maidservants in his mansion out of the gate to welcome Xiao Jie. When he saw Xiao Jie himself, Zhang Chu bowed his head, and the servants and maidservants behind him followed suit. Crashing and falling to their knees, the scene could not be called less spectacular, and the etiquette could not be described as less thoughtful.

Xiao Jie couldn't help shaking his head inwardly. He knew Zhang Chu's intentions. Although on the surface, arranging such a grand occasion seemed to be flattering and flattering him, it was also implying that he was not familiar with other people. There is no relationship.

In fact, Xiao Jie himself doesn't know that this is a sensitive period, and he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him every day. If he doesn't need Qilin Guard's help for something, he doesn't want to come to see Zhang Chu, so as not to spread any rumors.

"You don't need to be so polite, get up."

Xiao Jie didn't step forward to help Zhang Chu up, but just waved his hands to signal everyone to get up and talk.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhang Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if Xiao Jie showed too much enthusiasm for him, it would make it even more difficult for him to do so.

However, even though Zhang Chu wanted to keep a distance from Xiao Jie, basic official etiquette was still required. Zhang Chu could only greet him, and said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness is here, it really makes the humble house flourish." .”

Xiao Jie smiled lightly, and said: "I'm a bit presumptuous and abrupt in coming here, I hope Commander Zhang will forgive me."

Zhang Chu heard Xiao Jie's implication, and knew that he came to him in an emergency, but he was also a little surprised why Xiao Jie didn't go to Qilinwei Yamen to find him when he was on duty, and insisted on running to him after he was on duty. Come to the house to see yourself.

Although Zhang Chu wanted to avoid suspicion, after all outside the gate was not a place to discuss matters, he could only smile and invite Xiao Jie to sit in the mansion.

Although he knew that Xiao Jie came to see him because he had something serious to discuss, but Zhang Chu did not take Xiao Jie to his study, but led Xiao Jie to the noble guest room in his house.

This is also indirectly expressing his position and attitude to Xiao Jie, implying that Xiao Jie and the others only have business contacts and no personal relationships.

Xiao Jie is naturally aware of this, but this also further confirms another conjecture in his heart.

After the servant girl served two cups of fragrant tea, Zhang Chu turned away the others and asked unhurriedly, "His Royal Highness is here, is there anything I, the Qilin Guard, can do for you?"

Zhang Chu's words sounded polite, but in fact they were official words. Xiao Jie was clearly in Zhang Chu's house, but he asked Xiao Jie if he needed help from the Qilin Guard.

Seeing that Zhang Chu was so full of desire to survive, Xiao Jie stopped beating around the bush, looked at Zhang Chu, and said indifferently: "Actually, my father, I am fine."

Xiao Jie's tone was very calm, but to Zhang Chu's ears it sounded like a bolt from the blue, but even so, he remained calm and pretended to be confused: "Excuse me for being stupid, I don't quite understand what Your Highness means. "

Xiao Jie also smiled, shook his head and said: "If my father is really unconscious, Commander Zhang will never treat me like this."

Zhang Chuyi was a little speechless for a while, he is not stupid, of course he can hear Xiao Jie's implication, if the emperor is really unconscious, even though Zhang Chu is the commander of the Qilin Guard, but he is the emperor and the courtier, he is also You have to plan for your own future, and it is absolutely impossible to reject Xiao Jie, the crown prince of Daning, so far.

Although the words have been pointed out by Xiao Jie, but Zhang Chu can't continue chatting along Xiao Jie's topic, he can only laugh dryly, and he said: "Your Highness hasn't told the officials yet, come to my house to the end What is there to do?"

Xiao Jie took out a letter from his sleeve, slowly pushed it in front of Zhang Chu, and said lightly: "It's very simple, you bring this letter into the palace and give it to my father, I need Qilin Wei's assistance and help for one thing. .”

Zhang Chu's eyes fell on the letter on the table, his expression thoughtful.

……

"This rebellious son, what else can he not do!"

Zhang Chu didn't expect that when he secretly brought the letter into the palace to Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji was furious when he read the letter, and tore the letter into pieces on the spot.

Zhang Chu didn't know what was written in the letter, and he didn't understand why Xiao Ji was so angry, but seeing the emperor's fury, he could only lie down on the ground, silently. language.

Lian Yi, the internal servant who stood by the side, didn't understand why Xiao Ji became so angry after reading the letter, but after all, he had been by Xiao Ji's side all the time, knew Xiao Ji's temper, and guessed what made Xiao Ji suddenly angry. Not Xiao Jie, but the content of the letter.

Seeing that the emperor was yelling at "Nie Zi", Lian Yi could already conclude in his heart that the content of the letter should be related to the Qin King Xiao Huang who was far away in Liangzhou.

Thinking that Xiao Ji was still implying that he was too partial to Xiao Jie before, Lian Yi deliberately said: "Your Majesty, calm down, is it His Royal Highness..."

"What does it have to do with the prince? I'm scolding someone else." Xiao Ji waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Lian Yi's words, and then his expression became colder, and his tone became colder, "Speaking of which, I really underestimated you. Without him, he could even do such a thing as stealing a dragon and turning a phoenix into a phoenix, I'm afraid it's because I had some evil intentions, and it's a shame that I favored their mother and son so much before."

Speaking of this, even Zhang Chu could tell that Xiao Ji was scolding the King of Qin, Xiao Huang, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he was also a little curious about what the emperor meant by "stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix".

At this moment, Xiao Ji's eyes fell on Zhang Chu, and he asked coldly, "I ask you, is there anyone in the Qilin Guards stationed in Liangzhou and Guzang City?"

Hearing Xiao Ji's question, Zhang Chu nodded again and again: "Reporting to the emperor, because of the governor of the king, Liangzhou is very strict against outsiders, but the Qilin Guard still has some spies in Liangzhou and Guzang City. Not many people."

Xiao Ji couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, but finally nodded and said in a deep voice: "Go and talk to the prince, and hand over these people to the prince."

It was only then that Zhang Chu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Xiao Jie chose to visit him only after he was on duty. It turned out that he was going to carry out some secret operation in Liangzhou, and he didn't go to the Qilinwei Yamen to avoid people's eyes and ears, so as to avoid the vigilance of his opponents.

But for a while Zhang Chu was also a little curious about what kind of secret operation he had to do in Liangzhou, since it was Wang Cheng and Xiao Huang's territory.
