Zhao Neng gently lifted the tiles to find out, but after the tiles were lifted, he found that they were in the blind spot from the perspective of the tiles, which happened to be where he could not see.

Zhao Neng could only cover the tiles, and when he found the right position to check, he found a movement behind him.

He quickly turned around, and saw the movement from the hidden guard, who was gesturing to him, indicating that someone was coming this way.

Zhao Neng could only leave first.

When Zhao Neng came back, Zhang Gang had already left the house with He Shouyi.

Zhang Gang still took He Shouyi for a walk around the street, and finally the carriage stopped at a street corner.

After He Shouyi got off the carriage, Zhang Gang left in the car.

Zhao asked the hidden guards to follow He Shouyi, paying attention to whether there was anyone following him, and he led a few people to chase Zhang Gang.

He Shouyi walked back to the palace by himself.

After returning home, He Shouyi passed by Zhang Shuming. Zhang Shuming glanced at him, gave him a look, and left by mistake.

He Shouyi did not go to report the situation to Su Ying immediately, but returned to his residence immediately and fell asleep.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The bang sounded in the third watch.

He Shouyi's figure appeared in Su Ying's room.

He Shouyi's figure was almost hidden in the darkness, "My lord, my concubine, the other party has already given me a mission today. They want me to lead my concubine to Xunshan Temple outside the city in three days."

Su Ying sat on the bed, her figure flickered behind the bed curtain, "What about after that?"

"They said they would set up an ambush over there to capture the princess."

"Catch me? Want my life?"

"Guessing from the meaning of Zhang Gang's words, it is probably this plan."

The other party wanted to catch her and kill her, and she felt that this was within reason.

"Princess, do you want to go?"

"Of course, they made such a plan, either because they are absolutely sure that they can catch me, or because they want to test whether you can use it. I'll go and see."

Seeing that Su Ying had made a decision, He Shouyi didn't say anything, "Yes."

"Don't show any flaws, just deal with them well."

"I see."

After explaining the matter clearly, He Shouyi left.

"Just in case, I will go with you then."

"Follow me. In case they transfer the tiger away from the mountain and something happens in Beijing, you won't be able to deal with it immediately. It's safer for you to stay in the city."

Xiao Jin frowned again, "Okay, I'll let someone follow you secretly."

Su Ying didn't refuse either, lest he be overwhelmed.

"good."

Early the next morning, Zhao Neng, who was following Zhang Gang, came back.

"My lord, after He Shouyi separated from Zhang Gang last night, my subordinates led people to chase him all the way, and found that he had entered a private house, but he never came out after entering. The subordinates were worried that they would be discovered, so they dared to Guarding outside the courtyard, no one was found coming out. After dawn, the subordinate asked the hidden guards to continue guarding, and came back first."

Xiao Jin said "hmm", "Did you hear what they said yesterday?"

Zhao Neng frowned, "At the beginning, Zhang Gang covered He Shouyi with a hood and walked him outside and then returned to the original yard. Then his subordinates heard the voices of three people, and when they wanted to see each other clearly , the dark guard found something unusual, and his subordinates left, and when they went back, He Shouyi and the others had already come out."

"This is to guard against us. There may be secret passages in the house where Zhang Gang is staying. You should find a chance to go in and check."

"The subordinate understands."

"My lord, my subordinates have received news that Ma Wang will go to Beijing in a few days, saying that it is to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday."

"The emperor's will?"

"No, Ma Wang took the initiative to write a letter requesting to go to Beijing."

"oh?"

After Ma Wang arrived in the fiefdom, he would not go to Beijing without an edict. Even if there was an edict sometimes, he would try to find a way to delay his coming. The Empress Dowager's birthday comes every year, so why didn't he come before.

"Let them gather the news from Mawang City to see if there is any change in Mawang."

"The subordinate understands."

Xiao Jin stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching the wind and clouds in the sky, his dark pupils sank slightly.

It seems that there are more than one pair of hands to disturb the pool of water in the capital.

Three days later, Su Ying had breakfast and was ready to follow to Xunshan Temple.

Last night, He Shouyi sent a letter to Zhang Gang, informing him that Su Ying would pass by today.

Xiao Jin didn't go to the Imperial Army Yamen today, but stayed with the two children at the mansion.

"Aniang, when are you coming back?" Dabao asked seeing that Su Ying was about to leave.

"Aniang is going to burn a stick of incense and ask the Buddha to bless her, and she will be back soon."

Dabao looked surprised, when did Auntie believe in Buddhism?

Under Dabao's astonished eyes, Su Ying got into the carriage and drove away.

Xiao Jin took the two children directly to the training ground to check the effect of their practice during this time.

"My lord, someone from Zhen Guogong's mansion sent me a post, saying that I would like to invite my lord to visit the mansion at noon." The attendants came to Xiao Jin with the post.

Xiao Jin took the post and looked at it. It was written in the handwriting of Lord Zhen Guo's mansion, which was correct. Lord Zhen Guo said that he would take Fu Zheng to the border tomorrow, and hoped that he could have a meal with him before leaving.

The post actually invited not only Xiao Jin alone, but Xiao Jin's family of four.

Xiao Jin looked at the post and frowned slightly. Rather than saying that Duke Zhen is his mentor, it would be better to say that he felt like a strict father for a long time, although he never mentioned it to him. .

In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't take the initiative to contact Lord Zhen Guo after he returned to Beijing, and he didn't know if the old man was sad.

Xiao Jin closed the post, intending to take the two children to Zhen Guogong's mansion.

On the other side, Su Ying also left the city gate and came to the foot of Xunshan Mountain.

Xunshan Temple is on the mountainside of Xunshan Mountain. Because it is not the largest temple in Beijing, there are not many people who come to it, so the road to the mountain has not been repaired, and the carriage cannot go up. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to walk up the mountain by yourself.

Su Ying got off the carriage and asked the coachman to wait at the foot of the mountain, while she led a few guards up the mountain.

At this time, her every move was watched by the person hiding in the dark. After seeing that she just brought a few guards, the person immediately went towards the temple.

It took Su Ying two quarters of an hour to walk outside the temple.

Today is not the first day of junior high school, nor is it the fifteenth day of junior high school. There is not even anyone outside.

The guard stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the temple first.

After a while, a little novice opened the locked door.

The little monk looked at Su Ying suspiciously, "Is this female benefactor here to offer incense?"

"right."

Hearing this, the little novice opened the door and let her in.

The courtyard in the temple was very empty, and there was an incense burner in front of the temple in the center, which was filled with incense sticks, and the incense was constantly coming out from a distance, and a thick scent of incense instantly filled the nostrils.

There was nothing unusual at first, but soon, the guard following her coughed violently.
