Chapter 324 Questioning and identity (11)
Outside the villa.

Zhou Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes as he watched the gate of the villa gradually close.Ling Qianjue didn't even let him in, that didn't seem like his style.He has always had his eyes above the top, how can anyone really see him?But when he saw him today, he wouldn't even let him in.

Is it simply to guard against him, or does he actually have some other purpose?
Zhou Zhiyuan thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out.He originally wanted to enter the villa today, so he had to look at the terrain first.And he also thought that Yi Lingqian would never stop him because he never took his character seriously.But... now it's different from what he thought.

He must have known that Yao Jinlian belonged to him, so did he also guess that Yao Jinlian saved a hand when he was about to die, letting him deal with the evil spirit in Zhao Xier's body?

The east courtyard of the villa.

Zhao Xi'er was busy in the small kitchen, and finally everything was ready.A red bean porridge, two side dishes.

The cook who stood behind him hurriedly took the plate and came forward to serve the food.

"Madam's cooking smells delicious!" The cook originally wanted to flatter her, but after she got closer, she really felt from the bottom of her heart that this madam cooks well.

"Hehe... Let's go over there!" Zhao Xi'er smiled lightly, and was not polite to the cook, thinking that Ling Qianjue only cared for her and Xiao Baozi at the banquet last night, and didn't eat anything.I must be very hungry now, I will probably be back by now!Sure enough, as Zhao Xier guessed, she walked into the hall with the cook behind her, and saw Ling Qianjue who was already sitting there.

"Who is it?" Zhao Xi'er stepped across the threshold, walked up to Ling Qian and sat down.

There was a flash of worry in Ling Qianjue's eyes, and he finally shook his head: "An official wants to give a gift. I asked the guard to close the gate of the villa." Zhou Zhiyuan liked the former Zhao Xi'er, so Yao Jinlian would definitely She would tell him that the current Xi'er is no longer the previous Xi'er.So does it mean that Zhou Zhiyuan is likely to deal with his Xi'er now?
Zhao Xi'er did not miss the flash of worry in Ling Qianjue's eyes, but there was no sign of it on her face. She turned around and took the food handed over by the cook behind her, put it on the table in front of them, and turned to the cook. Niang waved her hand lightly: "There's nothing to do here, you can go down and rest for a while too!"

"Yes, ma'am." The cook got the order, bowed respectfully and saluted, and exited the door.

"Who came just now?" Zhao Xi'er asked again, her eyes full of seriousness.

"Xi'er..." Ling Qianjue really wanted to tell her that if she knew it was Zhou Zhiyuan, she would be worried too.

"If you don't worry about what happens, I don't know anything, if I fall into some kind of trap, then you don't have to say anything." Zhao Xi'er knows that things that can embarrass Ling Qianjing will definitely not happen. is commonplace.And it was probably related to her or Xiao Baozi.

"It's Zhou Zhiyuan." Ling Qianjue said it obediently, looking at Zhao Xi'er with some complaints.She clearly knew that what he was most worried about was her and Xiao Baozi, and she still said that, so he didn't dare not to say it.

"Zhou Zhiyuan? What is he here for?" Zhao Xi'er was not surprised to hear that it was Zhou Zhiyuan, and subconsciously began to guess the purpose of Zhou Zhiyuan's coming.

"I don't know, I didn't let him in." Ling Qian absolutely didn't want Zhou Zhiyuan to approach him when he appeared. It doesn't matter what his purpose is, it's better for him to keep him and Xi'er away. .Regarding Xi'er, he couldn't take any risks, nor could he afford to gamble.

"Let's eat!" Zhao Xi'er wondered what he wanted to do, so she simply gave up, picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating by herself.

"Well, where's the little bun?" Ling Qianjue nodded, and also picked up the chopsticks in front of him.After deciding to have a full stomach, I will ask someone to check it carefully to see if I can find any useful clues.

"I went to play in the back garden with Xiao Lian, he had breakfast." Zhao Xi'er stopped the chopsticks in her hand and replied softly.

After breakfast, Zhao Xi'er went back to her room to have a good rest. Last night she was tortured by Ling Qianjue all night, and she was already extremely sleepy. Now she was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Ling Qianjue asked Lily to find someone to keep an eye on Zhou Zhiyuan.By the way, I also dealt with the affairs of Yanwang Pavilion.A sudden assignment made Ling Qianjue's eyes shrink.

It was also an assassination mission, and the person to be assassinated was from Eastern Chu. He was not only from Eastern Chu, but also Ren Sanshao, the powerful young Xiangguo of Eastern Chu.But it was also stated that it was not a real assassination, but a fake assassination, just let Third Young Master Ren know to be vigilant.

"When did you take this task?" Ling Qianjue handed the task to Lily.

Lily took a look at it, and replied softly: "This was just taken over two days ago, and it is still in the investigation stage." Although the other party is a powerful minister of Eastern Chu, he didn't really want to assassinate him, but just a feint.But there is a thousand taels of gold, this deal... She shouldn't have done anything wrong.

"Who is the mission?" Ling Qianjue frowned. This mission must not be what it looks like on the surface, and there must be some other purpose.

"It's the third prince of Xichu." Baihe also saw Ling Qianjue's frown. Could it be something wrong?Although the people who come to them to do tasks with His Majesty the King of Hades will deliberately hide their faces and not reveal their identities.But how could she be a vegetarian in Yanwang Pavilion?The tasks they want to take have always been to thoroughly investigate both parties before doing it.

"The third prince of Xichu?" Ling Qianjue looked at the task in hand again in doubt. What's the situation now?How could Xichu get involved again?

"Then let's investigate with the third prince!" Ling Qian never knew that this was Xi Chu's plan to provoke a war, or?

"Yes, Pavilion Master." Lily felt that Ling Qianjue was not in a good mood, and did not talk nonsense.

post station.

The courtyard of the Third Prince of Western Chu.

Inside the hall.

At a table, two slender men sat facing each other.

"The matter entrusted by General Zhou, my prince has already done it. I wish General Zhou every success." Duan Musen raised his wine glass to respect Zhou Zhiyuan.

"I will promise the third prince, and I will definitely not break the promise. After the matter is completed, Dongchu will be the backing of the third prince's ascension to the throne." Zhou Zhiyuan also picked up the wine glass afterward, and very sincerely talked to Duan Musen opposite. clinked his glass.

"General Zhou, my prince can't figure it out. Why do you want to pretend to assassinate the Prime Minister of your country?" Duan Musen knew that Zhou Zhiyuan should belong to Third Young Master Ren, but why did he play tricks behind Third Young Master Ren's back?

If he wanted to betray Third Young Master Ren, he could have arranged the assassination for real. Why would it be a fake?
"Hehe... This is what Ren Xiangguo ordered, and I am just following orders." Zhou Zhiyuan smiled lightly, not wanting to answer this question.
