After Yan Zheng's figure slowly faded out of their sight, Xia Hong looked around and confirmed that Yan Zheng had returned to his room and was not peeking around, then he closed the door and returned to his master, looking at him hesitantly. Ying Chen, in the end, still didn't ask.

"If you want to ask, just ask." Ying Chen held the teacup in one hand and played with the tea lid in the other, staring straight ahead calmly.

With the master's permission, Xia Hong took a step forward and said respectfully: "Master, this subordinate doesn't understand why it takes so much trouble."

Ying Chen glanced at him, his face remained unchanged, he put down the teacup in his hand, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Yan Dan is a loyal minister, loyal to the emperor, and even more loyal to the people." Ying Chen chuckled, "You and I can see what the emperor does, but Yan Dan really doesn't know how the people are doing?"

Xia Hong was puzzled: "If this is the case, why is he..." indifferent?

"It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he has no reason. The Yan family has been loyal for generations and cannot be destroyed by him. He will not give up until he sees the evidence." Ying Chen took off the jade flute from his waist and put it on the He softly blew a few tones, "Want to win him over, it's easy and easy, and it's hard to say, it all depends on whether you can give him a reason to use it for you."

"Yan Dan is a typical person who doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin. You have to let him see with your own eyes the facts you have been ignoring before he can be used by you."

Xia Hong suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this: "But master, how do you know that he will listen to us and test the emperor?"

"If he reports our news to the emperor, wouldn't we be in a very dangerous situation?" Xia Hong still disagreed. In his opinion, the master's safety is the first priority. This move is really risky , Fortunately, it finally succeeded.

Ying Chen smiled and shook his head: "That's why you underestimated your master. Since I dared to expose that I was aiming for success, take a step back and say that even if he is really loyal, he will pass on our news to the emperor." , I also have a lot of ways to prevent him from spreading it."

"And based on what I know about him, he won't. It's clear to the onlookers. He already has an idea in his heart. It's just... inconvenient, so he won't. Similarly, in order to really give up on himself, he not only won't , and will send the person I trust the most.”

As for who is the most trusted person?What in the world is more reliable than blood and blood?So it is clear at a glance who he will send.As for Yan Zheng, he was young and vigorous, just at the age of youthful vigor, and he had long been dissatisfied with the person on the dragon chair, so it would be good if he didn't add fuel and vinegar, how could he even mention the emperor to hide it.

"Yes." Xia Hong bowed, "Then master, what shall we do next?"

"Wait and see." Ying Chen stood up, holding the right hand of the jade flute behind his back, walked a few steps forward, and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too long."

"My subordinate understands."

A few days later, Yan Zheng's injury gradually recovered, but he was not idle during the recovery process.

The breeze blows gently across his face, Yan Zheng is sitting in front of the chessboard on the stone table, holding a white chess piece in his hand, watching the chess game in front of him, the white chess piece is already at a disadvantage, surrounded by black pieces .Yan Zheng frowned, hesitating on how to take this step in order to reverse the situation.

Ying Chen was sitting opposite him, also holding a black chess piece in his hand, watching Yan Zheng in a leisurely way as he was thinking hard about retreating, and he was not in a hurry to urge Yan Zheng to lay down the chess piece that determines success or failure. Can't see the depth.Then he stared at it for a while, and looked boredly at the peach blossom forest outside the yard, his eyes narrowed slightly as if he had noticed something, the corners of his mouth curled up in a nice smile, and he looked at the peach blossom forest outside the house playfully.

As time passed, the setting sun swayed in the yard, falling on the ends of their hair and clothes.Yan Zheng looked at the sky, threw the chess pieces back into the chess box as if giving up, and looked up at the person in front of him.

"I lost in the game. Young Master's chess skills are really superb." Yan Zheng said with a hint of admiration in his eyes that he didn't notice. He noticed that the other party was looking outside, and he turned his head to look at it, but he didn't find anything unusual. , puzzled: "I don't know what the young master is looking at?"

Ying Chen withdrew his gaze from the peach blossom forest, looked at Yan Zheng, and smiled lightly: "It's nothing, but a few ants broke in and left traces, why? Young Master is interested."

Yan Zheng looked away, and glanced at him suspiciously again. For some reason, he always felt that he had nothing to hide in front of this person, which made him feel fear in his heart. He didn't even want this person to be their enemy.His intuition told him that if they confronted this person, they would have no chance of winning.

He has tried several times in the past few days, and the other party has never concealed himself. Judging from the past few days of getting along, this person must be not simple. Maybe his father will know something, but now they are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles. As for Send a letter?Don't say that he can't find anyone for the time being, even if he can find... the formation around the house is not easy to break through.Now he can only think of a way to let this person follow him to the north, Yan Zheng thinks about how to make this person follow him willingly, but he still can't find a way.

"Mr. Mo was joking." Yan Zheng smiled, but his brows were slightly frowned, "I have never seen ants here, why did you say such a thing?"

Ying Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, with a smile on his face, he didn't answer directly: "Young Master, don't worry, you'll find out later." He just secretly asked Xia Hong to check, and it's time to come back now.

Yan Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to ask but unable to ask, finally he could only shut his mouth and wait for him for a while.Before making him wait long, Xia Hong suddenly appeared in the yard, holding a waist card in his hand, walked up to Ying Chen, bent down and respectfully offered the waist card with both hands, and placed it in front of him.

"Master, they had already left when this subordinate passed by, but they seemed to be unlucky. They somehow activated a hidden killing formation and were injured by the formation. This subordinate found this at the place they passed by. It's the shadow guard of the royal family." While Ying Chen was looking at the waist badge, Xia Hong also explained his findings concisely.

"Well, you're not mistaken, it is indeed the badge of the imperial family's exclusive dark guard, but you also made a mistake, it is the bright guard among the shadow guards." Ying Chen corrected, the royal dark guard is divided into two, one is in the Ming Dynasty. One is in the dark. At first, the Mingwei exists on the bright side and is loyal to the emperor, while the dark guard only recognizes the dark order and obeys the dark master.Only after time has passed, the two have changed. Everyone only knows the bright guards but not the dark guards, and the presence of the dark guards gradually decreases. In addition, the number of dark guards of the older generation is gradually decreasing, and the newcomers are not enough to make it to the stage. , has long been forgotten, so before Ying Chen took over, there was only a group of stragglers left in the dark guard, which was not a good thing.

After Ying Chen came to power, he accidentally found out where the hidden guards were, so he ordered Xia Hong to recruit them and train them. Now they have become an excellent team. The organization is also considered to be a top name, but the first batch of dark guards who only recognized secret orders have long since disappeared among the current dark guards. Most of them are young and powerful. The dark guards are still called dark guards, but they only obey the orders of the dark master. The rules have long been abolished, and the current hidden guards only obey orders from Yu Yingchen.

"Yes, this subordinate knows his mistake." Xia Hong knew that his master was reminding him not to generalize.

Yan Zheng didn't realize the part hidden in their words, he frowned tightly, staring at the waist card, Ying Chen and the others knew each other, and of course he knew it too.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid they came after me. I've hurt the two of you." Yan Zheng said with a trace of apology, and smiled wryly, "It seems that I have to leave. I've disturbed you during this time."

"It's just..." Yan Zheng changed his mind, "I'm afraid they won't let it go if they can't find me, so if the young master doesn't dislike it, they will go to the northern border with me, and they will not dare to continue when they arrive in the northern border. The two of you will be safe, I don't know what the young master wants."

Of course Ying Chen knew what Yan Zheng was talking about, and he naturally knew what was going on in his heart.He just wanted them to follow them to the northern border, and then asked Yan Dan to investigate their origins.It's just that Yan Zheng was a little less calculated, even if he didn't leave, they couldn't do anything about him.But he didn't mind following the other party's wishes. He happened to go to the northern border to take a look. He stayed here for three years, which was long enough.

"Of course this is good, but how can you ensure that our master and servant will be safe when we arrive in the north? You are just a small soldier, I'm afraid..." Ying Chen's face showed a trace of worry.

Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Young Master said that even so, I have to confess. My real name is Yan, and my name is Zheng. I am the only son of General Yan Dan who guards the northern border. It was wrong for me to conceal it earlier. I apologize to you first. You can do so. Believe it?"

Ying Chen suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the little general. I was rude. The general said so. If I don't go down, I am sorry for the frankness of the little general."

"Go and pack your things, those people won't just let it go, make a quick decision, and we'll leave at night when it gets dark." Ying Chen nodded politely at Yan Zheng, waved his hand, and let Xia Hong go down.

Xia Hong and him looked at each other, and quietly retreated to pack their luggage.

"So I'll clean it up too." Seeing that he agreed, Yan Zheng smiled slightly, and went back to the house he lived in to clean it up.

Ying Chen stared at Yan Zheng's leaving back, and didn't look away until he entered the house.Xia Hong appeared behind him, glanced at Yan Zheng's tightly closed door, and said in a low voice, "Master, do you want to send a message to the northern border?"

"No need, make many mistakes, this little general is very vigilant, go and clean up." Xia Honggang was about to retreat, but was stopped again, "Wait, send a letter to General Yan Dan, just say... .I will visit in person in a few days.”

"Yes." Xia Hong didn't ask why, just follow the master's orders.
