Since Huan Yu and Liu Yunzhou talked in the study that day, two days passed in the blink of an eye and on the third day, a rumor began to circulate in the streets and alleys of the capital that the second prince, Huan Qing, did not hesitate to send someone to bribe the eldest prince in order to compete with the eldest prince for the throne. The guards around the prince killed those who had a problem with the eldest prince, so as to tarnish his reputation by blaming the eldest prince.

When Yao Zhong reported these market rumors to Huan Qing, Huan Qing was casually flipping through some books in his study, flipping through the pages quickly, not knowing how many words he could find, and finally he simply put the whole book together and read it in one go. Drop it on the ground.

"Master, please calm down." Yao Zhong knelt on the ground and looked at Huan Qing, who was expressionless but clearly in a hurry, feeling a little at a loss.

"Tell me, it's my big brother's idea, or my third brother's idea." After throwing the book away, Huan Qing seemed much calmer, leaning on the back of the chair behind the desk, tapping on the book with his fingers. Jaw.

"This, the subordinates can't guess it." Yao Zhong said.

"Forget it, no matter who it is, these two stumbling blocks have to be removed anyway, especially my third brother, who didn't realize that he still has some palaces before, so careless." Huan Qing said.

"Then master, what are we going to do now?" Yao Zhong asked.

"I'm not big brother, some rumors made me lose my sense of control, you go and send a message to my uncle, tell him to pay more attention at ordinary times, send more people to change into plain clothes and mix among the common people, if you meet someone who takes the lead in spreading news and causing trouble , deal with it secretly, remember to make a face." A bit of murderous intent jumped out of Huan Qing's eyes.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now." Yao Zhong knelt down and saluted and got up to go out of the study, but he heard Huan Qing calling behind him, and hurriedly turned around to salute again: "Does the master have any orders?"

"Is there any news from the Zen sect?" Huan Qing asked.

"Since Cangji and the others returned to Zen Buddhism last time, there has been no news." Yao Chong said.

"That's strange. It stands to reason that they should contact me soon after returning to Zen Buddhism!" Huan Qing continued tapping his chin.

"Could it be that something happened to them on the way back?" Yao Zhong asked tentatively.

"Cangji's strength is good, and the possibility of accidents is very small. If he hasn't contacted me for so long, I'm afraid there is something wrong with the Zen sect." Huan Qing said.

"Should we take the initiative to contact there?" Yao Zhong asked.

"No need, Cang Ji arranged for me the secret channel mechanism with an inn, but he refused to send more people to help me, and asked me to arrest those Jianghu people to find a way to control them. If Zen is willing to help me with all my strength, Your Majesty Brother went to the north, there is no life to come back, I think the people who came to this Zen sect also have other plans, maybe they really want to help me achieve something." Huan Qing said.

"The master means to ignore Zen people first?" Yao Zhong asked.

"Brother Dahuang's trip to the north will be one of the chances. If he is in the capital, the forces of the rivers and lakes will be useless, so let's leave them alone." Huan Qing said.

"By the way, I haven't seen the strange Taoist since the incident in the north last time. Is he dead or has he fallen into the hands of Brother Dahuang and the others?" Huan Qing said.

"The last time the eldest prince and the others came back, they brought some people back. As for whether the strange Taoists were among them, we don't know. Afterwards, those people from the Jianghu did not show up again, and the strange Taoists were the same." Yao Zhong said.

"If the strange Taoist is still there, it will be of some use. I hope he is not dead." Huan Qing said.

"Would you like to go to the first prince's mansion and the third prince's mansion to investigate, and see if we can find out some news about strange Taoists." Yao Zhong said.

"Remember not to reveal your identity. If you find him, if you are still alive, find a way to bring him back to see me." Huan Qing said.

"It's the master." Yao Zhong turned around and left the study after another salute.

In the gazebo in the upper backyard of Huan Yu's mansion, Huan Yu was teaching Xiao Mingyu how to play chess. Cang Lan watched from the side and also learned how to play Go. At this time, it was time for Xiao Mingyu to make a move, but he hadn't figured out where he was going to play for a long time. Staring at the chessboard with a chess piece and worrying, after Huan Yu's company and adjustment these days, his mood has obviously improved a lot. Huan Yu said that he would teach him how to play chess, but he didn't object. I didn't expect this game to be so nerve-wracking, and I was a little discouraged.

"What's the matter, can't figure out where to fall?" Huan Yu looked at Xiao Mingyu, who was pouted and somewhat depressed, and his mood became very good for no reason.

"My junior brother has just learned this game of Go, so of course he can't compare with the third prince, don't rush him!" Cang Lan was also very happy to be teased by Huan Xuezhu these days, and it just so happened that Huan Xuezhu didn't come out of the palace to look for her today. Then came to watch Xiao Mingyu learn chess.

"I don't dare to urge Mingyu, I'm just afraid that he will get into the horns and keep himself there, let it be if he can't think of it, let's talk about it next time." Huan Yu said innocently.

"This game of chess is really difficult." Xiao Mingyu finally threw the chess piece into the chess box and admitted defeat.

"Beginners are like this. Mingyu is very talented to be able to deal with me as a beginner." Huan Yu smiled and poured a glass of water to Xiao Mingyu and said.

"You don't need to comfort me, I know I'm stupid." Xiao Mingyu took the water but only held it in his hand, lowered his head and looked sullen.

"Whoever dares to say that my junior brother is stupid, I will be the first one to refuse." Cang Lan said with a pinch of his fist.

"Yeah, I don't agree with anyone who dares to say that we Mingyu are stupid." Huan Yu also imitated Cang Lan's way, clenched his fist and said.

"Okay, don't make me happy," Xiao Mingyu put the water glass on the table and got up, ready to get out of the gazebo.

"Where are you going, Mingyu?" Seeing that Xiao Mingyu was about to leave the gazebo, Huan Yu quickly got up to follow, but as soon as he stepped down the stairs, he saw a family member from the front of the house trotting over. He asked directly, "Is there something wrong?"

"Responding to the third prince, there are two people outside the door who claim to be members of the Zen sect and say they want to find their junior brother." Huan Yu just finished speaking, just as the family approached him, and replied after a short salute.

"A person from the Zen sect? Could it be that the elder brother and the others came here?" Before Huan Yu could speak, Cang Lan asked in doubt.

"I don't know the little ones, it seems that one of them was injured." The family said again.

"You go down first, we'll go and see by ourselves later." Huan Yu waved at the family and sent them away.

"Junior brother, don't be afraid, even senior brother and the others, senior sister will protect you." As soon as Cang Lan turned around, he saw Xiao Mingyu's face, which was still healthy just now, had turned livid.

"Senior Sister, I'm not afraid, I'm just thinking, what if it's Master who came..." Xiao Mingyu didn't say a word, but she understood the meaning.

"You are afraid of seeing your master, and you don't know how to face it, let alone what to do!" Huan Yu turned his head, stretched out his hand to hold Huan Yu's hands in his hands, and said.

Xiao Mingyu didn't speak, but that attitude was clearly tacit.

"Then I'll go and see the situation, you and Miss Canglan wait here first." Huan Yu said softly.

"Alright!" Xiao Mingyu's voice was also very soft.

Farewell to Xiao Mingyu and Cang Lan, Huan Yu went out of the back garden alone, came to the front courtyard, and then to the gate, when he looked up, he saw two people standing in front of him: "Why are you?"

It turned out that the person who came was none other than Cang Zhen whom Cang Lan had met that day when he and Cang Lan went to collect Cang Mao's body outside the Zen sect, and Cang Ji who was obviously seriously injured.

The author has something to say:

To be honest, this Cang Zhen was temporarily pulled out because Cang Ji was written down, 囧
