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

General Lin's complexion was very ugly, his brows were twisted into a shape of Sichuan, 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 see."

Wen Chi was startled.

Sure enough, it came to this plot...

General Lin saw Wen Chi's surprised expression, the suspicion in his eyes was fleeting, and then he seemed relieved, so he changed the subject: "Will Mr. Wen go back with us?"

General Lin has been fighting abroad for many years, wielding knives and guns, and talking about many things with his fists. He doesn't hide his thoughts like others, so Wen Chi saw the emotions that flashed in his eyes just now.

Wen Chi was not a fool either, he could guess with his toes that General Lin was suspecting that he was arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It's no wonder that General Lin kept a certain distance from him even though they called him brothers before, maybe General Lin had been guarding against him, after all, General Lin was half of the Four Princes.

It's just that the fourth prince is against General Lin...

Wen Chi suddenly felt sorry for the fourth prince, and wondered if the fourth prince could resist the attraction of the stone to him.

What if the fourth prince fails to stick to it all of a sudden, and has a long-term love for General Lin because of that stone... Although the combination of the fourth prince and General Lin is a bit strange, if they really get along, there will be no gentleness in the future Alright.

This is a good thing for Wen Chi!

But now is not the time to think about it—

Wen Chi quickly pulled Piao Yuan's thoughts back, and said seriously: "I don't have anything to do when I go back to Beijing, and it happens that I'm needed here, why don't I just stay here."

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

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

Now that Wen Chi has made up his mind, 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 will arrange for an official to take over the fourth prince's affairs. If Wen Chi has any problems, he can go to the official.

Wen Chi responded one by one.

Time was running out, and the fourth prince's people came to urge General Lin. After bidding farewell to Wen Chi, General Lin hurriedly left with that person.

The temporary departure of the Fourth Prince and General Lin from Jinzhou did not have much impact on Wen Chi, but the affairs arranged by the Fourth Prince had changed quite a bit, and it was more troublesome for Wen Chi to handle than before, and it was not a big deal.

But what Wen Chi didn't expect was that on the night when the Fourth Prince and General Lin were leaving, someone knocked on his door.

He went to open the door.

Standing outside was a maidservant with a somewhat familiar face.

Wen Chi thought for a while before he realized that this maid was one of the group of maids and guards sent to him by the emperor, and she usually didn't serve him by his side, nor did she say a few words to him.

It was even more strange that this servant girl would knock on his door at night.

Wen Chi felt vigilant, stepped back calmly, and made a gesture 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 servants go in?"

It was Zuozhi's voice.

Wen Chi glanced out subconsciously, and saw that the courtyard outside was covered by thick night, and only the general outline could be seen. Fortunately, no one else was seen.

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

Zuo Zhi changed her appearance into a maidservant's appearance, and she didn't intend to return to her original state. She walked straight to the table, then stopped, and turned to look at Wen Chi, whose expression was indescribable.

"Mr. Wen." Zuo Zhi Fushen said, "Forgive me for coming to disturb you at such a late hour."

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

In the past, he felt that the dog prince was very arrogant. While pretending to be disabled, he was not afraid that others would find out that he was pretending to be disabled. He was very skilled when flying around the walls of the palace.

Only now did he know that not only the dog prince was arrogant, but even the people around him were equally arrogant. As soon as the fourth prince and General Lin left, Zuo Zhi knocked on his door in disguise.

Perhaps the guards who lived in a few rooms not far away never dreamed that the uninvited guest they were guarding against did not sneak in through the wall, but knocked on the door openly.

Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Zuo Zhi definitely didn't come here at night to chat with him.

Wen Chi poured a cup of tea and put it on the table in front of Zuo Zhi, and gestured again: "Sit down and talk about something."

Zuo Zhi said, "Thank you, Young Master."

Despite what she said, she had no intention of sitting down at all.

Seeing this, Wen Chi didn't force her, just sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

Zuo Zhi waited for Wen Chi to finish a sip of tea slowly, and then said softly, "Mr. Wen, did you read the letter from His Highness the Crown Prince to you?"

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

He said succinctly: "Look."

Zuo Zhi thought that Wen Chi would continue talking, but she waited for a while, but she didn't wait for Wen Chi's words, so she had to speak again: "The servant will be by Mr. Wen's side at any time, and if Mr. Wen needs help, he can tell the servant to help you at any time." .”

Wen Chi said, "Okay."

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

Zuo Zhi just watched Wen Chi quietly, she watched Wen Chi drink most of a cup of tea, but in the end he remained silent, as if he didn't care what was written in the letter.

Deadlocked for a long time.

Zuo Zhi held back, but Wen Chi became more and more confused. He carefully put the teacup on the table, and looked up at Zuo Zhi, whose expression was gradually serious.

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

Zuo Zhi shook his head, nodded again, and finally said: "This servant came here to tell Mr. Wen that this servant has finished speaking, so don't disturb Mr. Wen's rest."

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

Zuo Zhi refused him: "Your maidservant can go out by herself, Mr. Wen should rest earlier."

Hearing what she said, Wen Chi was not polite, and sat back directly, and even lifted the teapot and poured himself a full cup of tea, without raising his head, he said politely: "Miss Zuo Zhi, go slowly."

Zuo Zhi: "..."

In fact, Zuo Zhi didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wrote in the letter to Mr. Wen, but Eunuch Zhu had specially told her before leaving that if Mr. Wen went to a certain place after reading that letter, he must follow Mr. Wen.

That's why she came to the door.

She didn't know that Mr. Wen didn't care about that letter, and didn't care about His Royal Highness's current situation at all. She thought that Mr. Wen didn't ask last time, at least this time he would be unable to restrain himself from asking a few questions.

Unfortunately……

Zuo Zhi glanced at Wen Chi, who was drinking tea and wandering in the air, and recalled that Eunuch Zhu said that His Highness the Crown Prince would often sit on the same seat that Prince Wen often sat on after returning to the palace, and he would sit there for an hour or two. , suddenly uncomfortable tight.

His Royal Highness is gone, Mr. Wen is not even willing to pretend?

Zuo Zhi really wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say it. If His Royal Highness knew that she was talking too much in front of Mr. Wen, death would be a lesser punishment.

Seeing that the cup of tea was about to bottom out again, Wen Chi looked up, only to see Zuo Zhi still standing there in a daze, staring at him with dim eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, Wen Chi was so creeped out by Zuo Zhi's eyes at this moment, his skin was covered with goosebumps, he quickly put down his teacup, and asked a second time: "Miss Zuo Zhi, is there anything else you want?"

Zuo Zhi suddenly came back to his senses, blessed his body: "Your maidservant will leave."

After speaking, she turned around and walked out.

Looking at Zuo Zhi's figure, Wen Chi suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Miss Zuo Zhi."

Zuo Zhi gave a sudden pause, and hurried back, because she moved too fast, the surprise on her face was too late to hide: "Young Master Wen, do you have something to say?"

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

Zuo Zhi: "..."

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

For a while, Wen Chi became even more inexplicable.

After a while, Zuo Zhi smiled reluctantly: "It turns out that Mr. Wen is worried about her, and this servant thought Mr. Wen was worried..."

Wen Chi scratched his head: "Who are you worried about?"

His Royal Highness, Zuo Zhi thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say these four words.

She shook her head: "It's nothing." Then she said, "Mr. Wen, don't worry, I put that girl in a very safe place for the time being. When Mr. Wen decides to leave for Beijing, I will naturally let that girl go. She won't." suffer any grievances.”

With Zuo Zhi's guarantee, Wen Chi felt relieved: "That's good."

the next day.

Wen Chi asked Ruofang to arrange Zuo Zhi to serve him, and asked Zuo Zhi to run outside with him.

For this reason, Ruofang was very dissatisfied. Although she didn't dare to lose her temper with Wenchi, when Wenchi had breakfast, Ruofang stared at him from the sidelines, and the grievances on her body were almost solidified. up.

Wen Chi couldn't laugh or cry, after thinking about it, he called Ruofang and Zuo Zhi over, and briefly explained to Ruofang—in short, Zuo Zhi knows martial arts, and the martial arts are not low, and it is more important to protect him than those guards Spectrum.

However, if Ruofang didn't believe him, the little girl pursed her lips, looking extremely aggrieved: "My lord only knew her, how did you know that she knows martial arts?"

As soon as the words were finished, Zuo Zhi walked to the table silently, picked up the chopstick rest, put it in the palm of her hand, closed her five fingers, and then exerted a little force. When she opened her five fingers, the small chopstick rest was shattered It became seven or eight yuan.

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

In the afternoon, a servant came to tell Wen Chi that the official who took over the affairs of the fourth prince had arrived, and asked Wen Chi to hurry over to meet him.

When Wen Chi walked into the hall, he saw a person with his back turned to him talking with Zhou Zhifu. The person was either short or chubby, and he looked familiar.

Wen Chi looked carefully as he walked forward.

Before he approached, the man heard footsteps, turned around suddenly, saw that it was Wen Chi, narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Mr. Wen, long time no see."

Wen Chi was startled: "Master Yin!"

The official who took over the affairs of the fourth prince turned out to be Yin Shangshu who had helped him once!

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

After hearing 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: "Mr. Wen is the fourth younger brother of General Lin. I know General Lin, so naturally I know him too."

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

Zhou Zhifu smiled awkwardly: "So that's the case, I took the liberty."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yin Shangshu called everyone to hold a brief meeting in the main hall to get a general idea of ​​the current progress of locust control.

Now with the support of the capital, everyone is performing their own duties. Although the progress is slow, the situation in Jinju is gradually improving. It's just that one bite can't make a big fat man. It will take a lot of time and effort to stabilize the disaster. Manpower and material resources, this is a protracted battle.

Seeing that it is already the beginning of autumn, and when winter comes, many things will become difficult, and everyone has a sense of urgency.

Until the sun set, a large fire cloud spread in the sky.

Yin Shangshu let everyone go away.

Wen Chi had something to say to Yin Shangshu, but considering it was inconvenient right now, he planned to go back and talk later, but Yin Shangshu stopped him first: "Mr. Wen, you stay here for now."

So Wen Chi stayed under the envious eyes of others.

After Wen Chi and Yin Shangshu were the only two people left in the hall, Wen Chi hurried over and sat down on the chair opposite Yin Shangshu under Yin Shangshu's signal.

"Master Yin, thanks to you for covering me just now, I am really grateful."

Mr. Yin smiled indifferently and said, "It's nothing to do with a little effort."

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

"To be honest..." Lord Yin paused, before saying, "I was entrusted by His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness had someone tell me this."

Shi Ye?

Wen Chi was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't hold it back, and asked, "How is Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

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