[Twelve o'clock in Chang'an] Six states song head

Jiang Zhu wiped the persimmon juice from his mouth, put some money on the table, then patted the dust off his clothes, picked up the unfinished persimmons, put them in the palm of his hand, rolled up a book and put them away waist, walked towards the crowd.

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so she came back from Luoyang, the eastern capital, to reunite with her family and finish one thing by the way.

"Little lady Shangyuan Ankang!"

"Shangyuan Ankang!"

Jiang Zhu couldn't help chuckling when he saw the anxious expressions on the children's eyes, and handed out the two persimmons in his hand.

"The little lady looks like a fairy!"

Several children ran away laughing.

Looking at their figures, Jiang Zhu smiled against the sun, but quickly restrained himself.

At this moment, the West Market is bustling, and there are many high-nosed and blue-eyed Hu merchants rushing into the market to deliver goods. Jiang Zhu has seen many Hu people in Tianshui, and he has long been used to it, and went straight to the gate.It's just that she was attracted by a group of people before she reached the gate of the workshop.

This is a group of Hu merchants who are answering questions from the officials of the West City Administration. This is the procedure for entering the market, which is understandable, but the behavior of the leader of the caravan is too strange, which attracted Jiang Zhu's attention.

She was taught by her cousin since she was a child that she knew that the most important thing to communicate with people is to read people's hearts first. Only by understanding people's hearts can she know whether the person in front of her is worthy of friendship.

The leader of the caravan has a dull expression, but he is tall and muscular. From time to time, he has some small movements that only a martial arts practitioner has. He looks like a practitioner.

Jiang Zhu glanced at the goods behind him, and they were not valuables - most of the goods sold in the West Market were for Chang'an residents, so naturally there could not be any valuables, and it was precisely because of this that this group of people looked suspicious.

Traveling thousands of miles to Chang'an, but only bringing these goods, is really not worth the candle.

Jiang Zhu was thinking about it, when he suddenly met the man's eyes, he saw his eyes were dark and cold, and he couldn't help but stare at him intently.

But with a snap of his fingers, the man had already turned his head and stopped looking at her.

Only then did Jiang Zhu look away, and walked out of the West Market.

She is someone who has experienced life and death and is not afraid of anything.

Jiang Zhu walked out a few steps, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the pair of Hu merchants again, and saw that they had passed the pass and walked towards the West Market. There was another person beside the Hu merchant leader before, and she saw the official again It is clear in my heart that I put something in my arms.

It's just that she has something important to do today.

Jiang Zhu and Yao Ru Neng made an appointment to meet in a wine shop in the West Market. After sitting for a while, she saw Yao Ru Neng come in through the curtain, and she couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Brother, why did you come so punctually? Could it be that the prince is sympathetic to brother, and allowed you to rest on the Lantern Festival?"

Yao Ru Neng puffed out his chest, with a look of pride on his face, he said: "I am a fourth-rank guard, and the crown prince can't do without me! This is the crown prince's permission to pick you up when he heard that you are coming back today."

"So that's how it is." Jiang Zhu thought for a while, and said again: "It's not that the prince doesn't know that I've been away for so many years, and I can't even take care of myself well, so I still need brother to pick me up?"

Yao Ru Neng looked around for a while, then moved closer to Jiang Zhu, and lowered his voice: "Today there are thieves in Chang'an, and there are thieves to be caught on the street. There are dangers everywhere. The prince is considerate of me, so he allows me to come out to look after you, and send you back to the Right Prime Minister's mansion."

Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Catch a thief? Which kind of thief?"

"It's the Turkic wolf guards. Jing'an Division got the news of their entry into the city, so today they want to catch the wolf guards, find out their purpose, and catch the people behind them."

"Is that so..." Jiang Zhu thought about it, and then said: "Then Jing'an must be very busy today..."

"Of course..." Yao Runeng suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and said, "You can't be..."

Jiang Zhu nodded slightly, and said: "If it wasn't for this matter, I would never go back to Chang'an again, I must be a ranger outside, and when I get old, I will find a place to spend my remaining life." She thought for a moment, and said: " Since he's still busy there, I'll go back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion first, brother is still waiting for me."

Yao Ru Neng responded and drank the wine in the bowl in front of him in one gulp, then put down the bowl and said, "Go, I'll take you back."

The two of them were walking on Dongshi Street. At this time, Dongshi was already lively. Yao Runeng couldn't help sighing: "This is the spirit of the prosperous age. Today's Shangyuan Festival is even more lively than before."

Jiang Zhu hummed, and said, "Unfortunately, it's still as disgusting as before."

Yao Ru Neng was silent.

Jiang Zhu's father is Jiang Jiao, the Duke of Chu. He was a brother and brother with today's sages. He lived in Taichangqing, a third-rank official, and his son even married the princess. , naturally saw the blossoming of the Jiang family.It's a pity that such a family of Zhongming Dingshi was destroyed because Jiang Jiao informed the courtiers about the abolition of the empress and dissuaded the saint.Fortunately, Jiang Jiao had the foresight to arrange a marriage for Jiang Zhu. The daughter who "married out" could not be considered as a member of Jiang's family, so Jiang Zhu was able to be preserved, and Jiang Zhu's future husband's family is now Si Cheng of Jing'an Division. Li Bi.

At that time, Jiang Zhu was only five years old, and spent a period of childhood in the Li Mansion with Li Bi, who was three years old at the time, as an asylum, and then lived with Ren Guozi Siye's cousin and his family.

However, Yao Ru Neng served beside the crown prince, and Li Bi accompanied the prince, so the two often met each other, and they could be regarded as childhood sweethearts. However, Yao Runeng also watched the two grow up together. Is there any trick between Jiang Zhu and Li Bi? Can you not see it?

Yao Runeng was really a little uncertain.

Needless to say, Li Bi, who practiced Taoism since he was a child, has not fulfilled his marriage contract until he was 23 years old, and the words "pure heart and few desires" are capitalized on his face.And Jiang Zhu is also the young and mature type, he was born intelligent, and he can read people's hearts from time to time, and he hates Chang'an deeply.

So the two seem to be a good match.

"Brother, why don't you talk?" Jiang Zhu couldn't help being a little surprised that he didn't hear Yao Ru's reply for a long time.

Only then did Yao Runeng break free from his own thoughts, and said with a smile, "I remembered something." He seemed a little regretful, and said, "I still remember that not long after you were born, my younger brother Qingchu and I surrounded you to see you. You Yuxue is cute, when you first learned how to call people, you still called Brother Brother every day, Brother Qingchu and I were arguing that you were calling yourself."

Jiang Zhu gave him a disgusted look, and said, "Brother is talking stupid again."

Yao Ru Neng hugged her shoulders with a smile, and said, "It's better when I was a child——"

Jiang Zhu knew what he was missing, and said: "Brother works under the crown prince, with your talent, you will make it to the top sooner or later." She patted the scroll on her waist and said, "Brother, I read the books. It’s over, it’s very pretty.”

"I don't need you, a little girl, to comfort me."

Jiang Zhu groaned, and said again: "Just now I saw a group of people in the West Market, it was very strange."

"How to say?"

Jiang Zhu told Yao Runeng what he had observed just now, added his own guess, and then said half-jokingly: "It might be a team of wolf guards."

Not long after the two had left, they heard noises from nearby, and Jiang Zhu couldn't help but stop. She lived in Tianshui for a while, and there was a lot of chaos there, and she had long since developed the habit of always being vigilant.

Yao Runeng didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but Jiang Zhu stopped, so he had no choice but to stop and said, "Let's go, don't join in the fun at this time, you should go back earlier... Prime Minister You must miss you very much."

Jiang Zhu glared at him, and said, "Brother, why is he still like this? Whenever something happens, he wants to avoid it."

Yao Ru Neng let out a hey, and explained: "I call it being cautious! You little lady is as reckless as those rough people!"

Jiang Zhu didn't care so much, but just pulled him towards the source of the sound, and said as he walked: "Then go and have a look with me, a rough man, maybe brother's caution can come in handy! "

Yao Runeng was dragged by her, so he had no choice but to go with her. Unexpectedly, it was the prince's Luben army who appeared there. Go to ask the soldiers of Luben Army.

Jiang Zhu heard the general idea, and knew that this was the task arranged by the Jing'an Division to capture the wolf guards, and it was a real job of the prince's subordinates. No wonder the prince was handed over to Li Bilai, after all, Li Bi was one of the few people he could really trust.Jiang Zhu stepped into the yard, and saw that most of the people lying there were men dressed in Hu suits. The soldiers next to her wanted to stop her, but seeing Yao Ru Neng shaking his head at him, he had to stand back again.

Jiang Zhu walked around the courtyard, and finally said: "Two are missing, right?"

Yao Ru Neng asked aloud, "Did you see it?"

Jiang Zhu nodded slightly, and said: "Their leader is missing, that tall man, and the man who came to the West Market with him later. Now go to the West City Office to find out their identities, and send them to him. It’s fine.” She turned around and walked into the house, only to see a man in armor sitting on the ground and crying bitterly, there was a scar on his lip, like a scar left by a knife blade, and the armor on his body was still dripping , it may be the water in the canal near here.Next to him was another person lying motionless on the ground with a knife mark on his neck, and he was already dead. Jiang Zhu recognized him at a glance, and murmured: "There is only one missing." She then asked: "The one who escaped." Did it go from the canal?"

The soldier next to her met her sharp gaze, couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and immediately said: "Yes."

Jiang Zhu squatted down to check the condition of the corpse, and asked, "Has the message been delivered?"

The soldier suddenly heard her talking, saw her staring at him, and immediately replied: "The watchtower has sent a letter to Li Sicheng."

Yao Runeng followed behind her and said, "Azhu, do you still remember the appearance of that leader? Drawing it can be regarded as a clue."

"Of course I remember exactly."

The man who was still sitting on the ground crying bitterly raised his head when he heard her words, stared at Jiang Zhu with red eyes, and said, "You can draw that wolf guard!"

Jiang Zhu lowered his body and observed the corpse beside him for a moment, without giving him a look, he just said, "Naturally, although I have lived in Longyou these few years, my painting skills are not unfamiliar."

"who are you?"

Jiang Zhu looked up at him.

The woman in front of me is wearing a Hu suit, her hair is combed high, her eyebrows have never been shaved, her black pupils are shining, she looks a bit like a young man, but her temperament is like a bright moon hanging high, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable meaning. It's daunting.It's just that her eyes are round and clear like a woman's, and her lips are red and her teeth are white, so that people can see her identity as a woman at a glance, which makes her less alienated and more amiable.

Yao Ru Neng proudly said: "This is my little—"

"Longyou Tianshui Jiang Qingke." Before Yao Ru could open his mouth to introduce, Jiang Zhu had already finished explaining, she remembered that this was her name as a ranger when she was out, she paused, and then continued: "I am at home at sixteen, Just call me Sixteen Niang."

Yao Ru Neng touched his nose in embarrassment: "Sister..."

"I'll go with you to Jing'an Division."

Yao Runeng was surprised: "Are you going to terminate the contract at this time today?"

Jiang Zhubai glanced at him, and said: "The termination of the contract can be done at any time, but the wolf guard is a big deal."

"Then you won't go back to the right—you won't go back to your elder brother's house?"

Jiang Zhu shook his head and said: "Anyway, they are not far apart, so there is no difference. It will not be too late to go back after dealing with this matter."

When the group arrived at Jing'an Division, Jiang Zhu walked behind the team by himself, seemingly hesitating.

Yao Runeng was by her side, taking the opportunity to joke, "Could it be that this majestic 'Longyou Tianshui Jiang Qingke' is also afraid?"

Jiang Zhu glared at him, curled his lips and said, "Hurry up and take me in, the gate of Lu Ben Army is not easy to enter."

"Okay, let's go."

When the two entered the door, they saw Li Bi standing there in a blue Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk in his hand, talking to a man named Cui Qi from Lu Ben's army.

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and asked someone to carry Cui Liulang's body away. Cui Qi also left, and the rest of them followed Li Bi's instructions and performed their duties. With Tan Qi who was serving beside them, and brother and sister Yao Runeng and Jiang Zhu who stood opposite them.

Li Bi thought for a moment before raising his head, and then he saw Jiang Zhu standing at the gate of Jing'an Division, looking at him from afar.

Li Bi was a little startled, he opened his mouth and said, "Pomegranate—" Then he bowed and said, "Jiang Liuniang."

Jiang Zhu also returned him with a blessing: "Li Lang."
