When the cannon fodder gets the golden finger [Transmigration Book]

While the two were talking, Zhao Si hurried in, his old voice a little anxious.

"His Royal Highness, the Palace is here!"

"?" Zhao Xueyang seemed to be taken aback for a moment, hurriedly got up and went out, Zhao Xi followed.

At this time, the visitors from the palace were very unexpected and not good. Although the emperor was busy with other things, he did not relax his vigilance towards them for a moment.Huaiyang Palace would not be so reckless, it would only make him think of bad things.

As if they couldn't wait for Zhao Sitong to report, when they came out, they saw a man in his 40s and [-]s hurried into the yard, wearing ordinary linen clothes and looking dusty.

"My lord, the concubine is on the way to Anjing with Miss Young Master, and I will be there tomorrow." He was in a hurry to talk, he could see that he had driven for a long time, his lips were dry, and he was a little panting, so he said it first.

Zhao Xueyang recognized this as a servant of the palace, an old man who had served his father for many years.Hearing this, his expression froze, and he motioned to enter the room to speak.

"Clarify what's going on."

After he was seated, Zhao Xi poured him a glass of water, and Zhao Xueyang asked.

"Miao Jiang launched a war some time ago, and the lord personally led the troops to fight, but he was caught in a trick and was led into the hinterland, and lost the news." The old servant took a sip from the water glass, relieved his dry throat, and said hastily. "The young master is still young, only the husband is supporting him in the palace. The princess brought the two young masters to the palace, and wants to replace you to take charge of the situation and rescue the prince."

"How long has the father lost contact?" Zhao Xueyang asked calmly.

"It's been 21 days now."

Zhao Xi listened to their conversation in astonishment and couldn't understand for a while. Although Huaiyang King likes to plant flowers and grass, and play with the wind and moon, he is also a capable man who knows military affairs. When the whole Huaiyang is not guaranteed, he put himself in a dangerous situation , is really stupid.

This doesn't sound like a character in the original book. If he didn't say anything, he even suspected that the emperor had done something.

Zhao Xi doubted what the servant said, seeing that Zhao Xueyang was worried about Huaiyang's situation, he asked him cautiously:

"Is there a token of the princess?"

The man drank all the water, Zhao Xi thoughtfully took it and poured it for him, with a gentle tone, seemingly harmless.

Hearing this, he glanced at him, quickly put down the water and took out a letter from his pocket, "Yes, this subordinate is preparing to give it to His Highness."

Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Xueyang and checked the envelope, while refilling him with water.

"Thank you, young master." The man hurriedly thanked.

Zhao Xueyang looked down at the letter and ignored it.Zhao Xi looked at him in surprise: "How do you know who I am, you call me Young Master?"

"This subordinate has been serving the palace for many years. The son wrote a letter the year before last to ask the prince and princess to accept a godson with the same surname. This subordinate knows about it. Although I have never met you, I can guess that you are the master because of your demeanor. Two."

His words and deeds were quite smooth and reasonable.

Zhao Xi agreed with a low laugh, and the doubts in his heart disappeared.

"Is mother coming tomorrow?" Zhao Xueyang folded the letter casually after reading it, and raised his head to ask.

"According to the schedule, yes, the subordinate rode a fast horse and set off on the same day."

It was morning now, Zhao Xueyang went out to the bottom of the steps, looked up at the sky outside and meditated for a while.

"Where's Zhao Yuan?" He asked the housekeeper.

The butler replied respectfully, "He's in the laundry room."

Zhao Xueyang didn't ask him why he was there, but ordered: "Let him come over and settle down."

The butler responded and was about to leave when Zhao Xueyang said again, "Forget it, Xiao Xizi will go."

"Yes." Zhao Xi knew that he had other things for Zhao Si to do, so he obediently went to the laundry room.

"You go and prepare things, water and dry food, and horses." He said to the housekeeper.

Zhao Si looked at him tremblingly, hesitated to speak, and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he turned around and asked, "Excuse me, how many horses are you preparing?" "—Two horses."

"Yes."

The old butler left in a hurry.

The laundry room is in the backyard, which is in the same yard as the kitchen, and there are many servants doing miscellaneous work. It is not the time to start a fire, and there are servants chopping firewood outside the woodshed on the other side.

On the other side are the wooden basins and the girls and women who wash clothes. The clothes in the whole house are washed here. There are quite a lot of people, and several basins are full. If there are girls, they hang them in the empty yard next door.

Zhao Xi came from the front yard and almost bumped into a little girl. She seemed to have something dirty on her face. She ran with her head down and was almost bumped into.

"The one with no eyes—"

The little girl's pretty big eyes first saw Zhao Xi dressed in clothes, then stopped abruptly, and then found out that it was the master, so she hurriedly apologized.

"Forgive me, young master, it's because slaves don't have eyes."

Zhao Xi couldn't care less about a little girl, and it was his own fault, so he didn't blame her for cursing and let her go.

He hurried in, and the servants in the yard hurriedly saluted, but he searched around but didn't see Zhao Yuan.

"Master, are you looking for someone?" An elderly woman asked.

"Where is Zhao Yuan?"

"Oh, you are looking for Zhao Yuan." Someone couldn't help laughing, and pointed to another part of the courtyard wall, "He is hanging clothes over there."

Zhao Xi went along, and saw that in the empty yard there were wooden poles for drying clothes on which to try on clothes. Two figures were half exposed underneath, a man and a woman.

The man wears short boots and has a solid body, while the woman wears a coarse cloth dress. She should be a handyman in the backyard.The maidservants in front were all in front of them, their clothes should be more delicate, and they were more or less doing things for Zhao Xueyang.

Zhao Xi tentatively called out: "Zhao Yuan?"

The man's feet moved down, and then he squatted down and looked at him from under his clothes. It was Zhao Yuan. "What is the young master looking for from me?"

He spoke briskly and looked at Zhao Xi with a smile.

Zhao Xi hadn't seen him for a long time, and he rarely appeared in the front yard, or in front of him.The last time Zhao Xueyang asked him to find out the spies, he was very efficient. The spies were a servant in the yard, but I heard that he was also punished for negligence.

"Come here." Zhao Xi called him over.

He stood up, and seemed to say something to the woman beside him, and the woman took a few steps back.Then he crouched down and came out.

Seeing that he was molesting the little maid, Zhao Xi smiled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Young master, don't blame me, this subordinate just saw this little girl's funny temper and made me laugh." Zhao Yuan came over and said with a smile. "Is the prince looking for me?"

Zhao Xi seemed a little puzzled, looked at the half figure over there, but said: "Which girl is it, let me see."

The girl seemed embarrassed and took two steps back.

"Hey, the little girl is thin-skinned, so don't make things difficult for her?" Zhao Yuan said in defense of Xiao Qing'er.

Zhao Xi glanced at him, met his still relaxed and flawless eyes, curled his lips and said: "There are not many beautiful girls in the house, you boy, don't tease the little girls."

Zhao Yuan seemed a little embarrassed, turned around and said: "...Didn't the prince look for me, let's go."

Zhao Xi quickly glanced at the half of her body behind the clothes, and saw that she was still motionless, and Zhao Yuan looked flawless.

But he just became suspicious, whether sensitive or suspicious, or nervous, Zhao Xi always felt that the more he was not allowed to see, the more something was wrong.

There was no one here, and Zhao Yuan was very skilled in martial arts. He was afraid that it would be bad for him if there was a ghost, so he didn't even express his doubts too much, and just kept his thoughts hidden.

Go back and ask Zhao Xueyang to keep an eye on this Zhao Yuan.

The figures of the two disappeared from the gate of the courtyard, and the half-figure covered by the half-dried wet clothes finally moved. The embroidered shoes turned around and came out from behind a row of clothes. The woman was quite tall, wearing a woman's dress , but his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat heroic, and his pair of phoenix eyes are sharp.
