As for whether to tell Bai Yutang Zhan Zhao's intentions, although Changsheng has already helped the two parents choose the option of "talking", but how to implement it still needs to be discussed in the long run.

Bai Jincheng felt that although Bai Yutang was already a little jealous, but he didn't seem to be fully enlightened. He was afraid that if he said it, it would be self-defeating.So Zhao Zhen thought of a way for him: "Don't tell Yutang, tell Xiaozhan directly, he is so smart, don't he know what to do after he finds out about this?"

Bai Jincheng thought about it and thought it made sense, so he wrote a letter to Zhan Zhao when he went back the next day, and the letter said - strike first to be strong, and then strike to suffer. You two have similar martial arts, and now Yutang is almost enlightened. If you don't act quickly, you might be spoiled by him in the future!At this time, we must act first to seize the opportunity!

At this moment, he completely forgot that Fifth Master is also his good friend...

Not to mention what kind of popularity Zhan Zhao will become after receiving this letter, just Ding Yuehua, this girl was so excited when she received Bai Jincheng's order and knew that he was going to visit the Grand Master's Mansion at night by herself!

"Finally it's my turn. In the past, Brother Yutang and Brother Zhan were responsible for this kind of thing. It was never my part. Don't worry, Brother Bai. I will definitely check everything about Grand Master Pang. I will find out which concubine you like to wear and what clothes you want!" Miss Yuehua was gearing up.

Bai Jincheng reached out and patted the girl on the back of the head, "What are you talking about! You don't even blush when you say this, little girl, who taught you!"

"Isn't it you?" Ding Yuehua said confidently, "You are a big soldier, and I am a small soldier. This is called a crooked soldier, and a crooked soldier! I won't be able to get married in the future. I told my mother that it was you who led me into trouble, and see if you still beat me."

Bai Jincheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're pretty good at talking. You could pretend to be gentle and virtuous before, but now you don't even bother to pretend, do you? Go, go, go, hurry up and get ready, the officials are coming tonight Waiting for the news, you can't make any mistakes, bring a few more people to support you."

Because tomorrow is a holiday, Zhao Zhen doesn't have to go to court tomorrow, so he planned to come here tonight to wait for the results of Ding Yuehua's night visit—in fact, it wasn't just to wait for the news, he hadn't been out of the palace with Bai Jincheng for a long time, I kind of want to go to the night market or something.

Ding Yuehua's eyes widened: "The officials are still waiting for news in person? Is this serious?"

Bai Jincheng nodded, "So you really need to find out a little bit more. At least you need to know what those Xixia people are looking for Grand Master Pang for."

Ding Yuehua clenched his fists and prepared to go back with a solemn expression.

At night, Zhao Zhen sneaked out of the palace gate under the cover of Gu Lan and a few expert guards. When he arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, he encouraged Ding Yuehua and the scouts who were ready to go. Like blood, excitedly rushed up to the roof and headed for the Grand Master's Mansion.

Bai Jincheng changed into a set of casual clothes and took his family Zhenzhen to the night market.

The people in the night market are also quite familiar with Bai Jincheng, and they greeted each other: "Bai Huwei is here to visit the night market? Come and treat you to eat Chaos! You also brought friends, as expected of Bai Huan's friend, and he looks like a good-looking talent! It's Kaifeng Mansion A new guard? The little girl in the city is going to run to your gate again!"

Zhao Zhen smiled all the way, pretending to be a gentleman, "Thank you, thank you."

Bai Jincheng also became interested, and introduced to the people in a serious manner: "This is Zhao Huwei, please take care of me in the future."

So the aunts, aunts and mothers-in-law started: "How old is Zhao Huwei? Does he have a family? We know a lot of good girls! By the way, Bai Huwei, my granddaughter..."

"Mother-in-law, I don't know your granddaughter!" Bai Jincheng pulled Zhao Zhen and fled.

The guards who followed secretly in casual clothes snickered one after another.

Zhao Zhen was dragged by Bai Jincheng to walk through the crowd, and suddenly stopped and looked towards a small alley.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jincheng noticed something strange and looked over, but saw nothing.

Zhao Zhen frowned, and said in a low voice: "Just now there was a person who was very strange. When he saw me, he ran away in panic."

Bai Jincheng hurriedly called the guards over and asked them to send two people to chase after him. Then he went into the teahouse next to Zhao Zhen and asked for a private room, and asked, "Could it be that some minister recognized you?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "I have no impression of that person at all. He is definitely not an official in the court. I know every official in the court."

"There are so many officials in the world, how can you recognize them all?" Bai Jincheng pouted, "What if he is a small local official in some corner?"

"The little magistrate in the corner has no chance to know what I look like." Zhao Zhen despised his IQ very much, "There are not many officials who are qualified to see me. If he didn't recognize me, he wouldn't have seen me just now. Run. Besides, if he's an official and knows me, there's no reason why he shouldn't come to say hello."

"Maybe it wasn't because I saw you that I ran away," Bai Jincheng said narcissistically, "If it's a little thief or something, he probably ran away because he saw me. There must be more people in Kaifeng who know me than you. "

Zhao Zhen was helpless: "Because his eyes met mine, he ran away in a panic afterwards. I'm sure he didn't notice you."

After a while, two guards came back with a middle-aged man.As soon as the middle-aged man entered the private room and saw Zhao Zhen, he knelt down in fright. Before anyone could ask him, he burst into tears: "Officials, the villain is wronged, and the villain doesn't know anything!"

"I haven't spoken yet, how do you know that I'm going to wrong you?" Zhao Zhen smiled meaningfully, "Who are you and why do you recognize me?"

The middle-aged man was almost scared to pee, and kowtowed that he didn't know anything.

Zhao Zhen was annoyed by his quarrel, turned his head to Gu Lan and said, "Take it to the private room next door to check it out and then tell me."

After Gu Lan's trial was clear, everyone finally knew what this guy with flawed IQ was doing. He was actually a servant of Grand Master Pang's mansion. A few Xixia people overheard a few sporadic words they had secretly talked with Taishi Pang, and they imagined that Taishi Pang was going to collude with the Xixia people to rebel, and then imagined that if the incident happened to him, a servant like himself would definitely end up bad... So When he saw Zhao Zhen at the night market, he felt guilty for some reason, turned around and ran away, unexpectedly being caught.As for how he recognized Zhao Zhen, it was because Zhao Zhen had been to the Grand Master's Mansion several times before.

From this person's mouth, Gu Lan also found out a lot of useful information - those Xixia people have entered the Grand Master's Mansion for several days, and they will have secret talks with Grand Master Pang in the study every day. After that, I will be in a trance, and I am always moody these days, and I had a violent quarrel with them this afternoon.

"Could it be that they didn't agree?" Bai Jincheng rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the old guy hasn't agreed to join them?"

What Zhao Zhen thought was not so simple, "Maybe it's because the distribution of benefits has not been discussed, and Taishi Pang's ambition is not small."

But these questions may be answered after Ding Yuehua returns from his night visit to the Grand Master's Mansion.

The two walked around the night market, bought some toys and snacks for Changsheng, and then went back to Kaifeng Mansion to wait for the results. Bai Jincheng guessed that Ding Yuehua might not come back so soon, and fell asleep with his arms around Zhenzhen.

When they were woken up by the guards in the early morning, Ding Yuehua returned with a fruitful harvest.This girl not only swept up Taishi Pang's study room, but even the guest rooms of those Xixia people, and brought back a lot of spoils, such as the letters between Taishi Pang and King Xiangyang, and the letter from King Li Yuanhao of Xixia to Taishi Pang. Category.

As expected by Zhao Zhen, Taishi Pang had already joined King Xiangyang's camp, because King Xiangyang promised him that after the rebellion was successful, he would not only kill Master Bao to vent his anger, but also give him the title of king.At first he hesitated, because he felt that the king of Xiangyang had no chance of winning, so the king of Xiangyang contacted Li Yuanhao, and Li Yuanhao specially sent an envoy to deliver a letter to him, saying that he would lend troops to the king of Xiangyang.Grand Master Pang felt that he could give it a go. He now only has a false title and no real power. If the King of Xiangyang becomes king, he can still be a king. Anyway, the condition of King Xiangyang and Li Yuanhao is that he let Pang The concubine tried to kill Zhao Zhen, and then he contacted his disciples in the court, Gu Jiu, to launch a public opinion offensive for King Xiangyang's succession.

As for why he quarreled with those Xixia people before, it was really what Zhao Zhen thought, because the issue of the distribution of benefits was not discussed, and he felt that the promise of becoming a king would not be fulfilled until King Xiangyang ascended the throne, but he now I just need to get some benefits to rest my mind, but those Xixia people are stubborn and insist that they have no right to decide this matter, so they start various negotiations and various quarrels...

"You want Concubine Pang to assassinate you?" Bai Jincheng frowned, "Do you think Concubine Pang will..."

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head: "Although she is very filial, it is related to the interests of the country. She should not dare to do this. At most, she will hide this matter as if she doesn't know anything. But she is a nice person, I think It's better to block the news and simply make Grand Master Pang's people unable to contact her at all, otherwise she will definitely be very embarrassed."

"Since this is the case, let's keep an eye on Grand Master Pang and stop temporarily. When the King of Xiangyang is defeated by sending troops, Grand Master Pang will not be able to make any waves," Bai Jincheng said, "while it is still dark, let the moon Hua made another trip to put everything back, so as not to startle the snake."

Zhao Zhen resolutely agreed with his decision, and when he went to order Ding Yuehua, he also gave Gu Lan an order to go back to the palace immediately to contact Chen Lin and keep an eye on everyone around Concubine Pang, so that Grand Master Pang would not have the opportunity to contact her. she.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Zhen sent two guards to the Palace of the Eight Princes, invited the Eight Sage Kings over, and went directly to Master Bao's study. The three big men began to discuss the master plan to deal with King Xiangyang— —Knowing the news from last night, and summarizing the information that Yan Chasan and others found in Xiangyang in the recent period, it is almost time to launch a general attack.
