Chapter Thirteen: Meeting Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Land (Part 2)
King Yong was a taboo in the Wei Dynasty. For many years, no courtier dared to mention this person in the court.
Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, he is a person who has been dead for more than ten years. No one will miss a traitor in their spare time.
But Xiao Bi and Huan Yu once told Huan Ji that the arrow shot by Duke Xiao could not kill Yong Wang.
And the reason why his appearance was ruined may be because of that arrow.
But there is another possibility. The person who was hit by the arrow in the face was the substitute of King Yong, and he himself had already escaped from the Wei Dynasty before the incident was defeated.
When Emperor Tianqing suddenly recalled the Xin family to the capital, he even made an exception and consecrated the eldest daughter of the Xin family as a beauty. Many people did not know the reason.
After nearly two years, after experiencing many things and learning a lot of inside information, Xiao Bi and Huan Yu had to suspect that Emperor Tianqing had learned that King Yong was still alive.
The source of this information is probably related to the Xin family.
This may be the reason why he reactivated the Xin family, canonized Xin Meiren, and gave Xin Zhi and Xin Luo to the royal children of other countries.
Xin Zhi's question at this time once again confirmed their guess.
Huan Ji looked at Xin Zhi calmly: "So what if it is, so what if it's not?"
Xin Zhi's face looked a little ugly.
This person is really difficult to deal with.
With his identity, it is unusual for him to appear in the capital of Jin Kingdom.
Moreover, he used a false identity to get close to Ji Yinfeng, and even sneaked into Prince Kang's mansion several times. What else could it be if it wasn't to contact her?
She thought she was sincere enough, but the other party obviously didn't trust her.
If Huan San was really sent by His Majesty, his attitude would be the same as His Majesty's.
In other words, although His Majesty re-enabled the Xin family, he did not give enough trust.
But it seems that His Majesty cannot be entirely blamed.
People's hearts are fickle, and the Xin family has always been greedy for glory. The wealth of Prince Kang's palace and the status of a concubine were enough to make her tempted and even treason.
That's why His Majesty specifically asked Huan San to test his loyalty before assigning himself a task.
Huan Ji didn't expect that Xin Zhi would have so many thoughts just by saying something ambiguous.
Seeing her delay in answering, he said calmly: "My master never likes to force others to make things difficult for him. Concubine Xin should go back and think it over carefully before speaking."
Xin Zhi's heart was in her throat.
Sure enough, this guy was sent by His Majesty!
But her mind was still clear.
Huan San's words make sense. Today is their first meeting. The two parties have not even formed basic trust yet, so it is not suitable for discussing serious matters.
"This is not the place to talk. Third Young Master, you might as well leave your contact information. It will be easier for me to contact you if I have anything to do." Xin Zhi said.
Of course it was impossible for Huan Ji to tell her his address.
He thought for a while and then said: "If Concubine Xin is in trouble, send someone to leave a mark on the right side of the door of the teahouse just now, and I will come to find you."
Xin Zhi asked hurriedly: "Then what kind of mark should I leave... Also, how long will it take for the young master to come to find me and how will he come to find me?"
Huan Ji's left eyelid twitched slightly.
This woman is really hard to fool.
He said solemnly: "As for the mark... just draw a circle with charcoal. As for when and how I will look for you, you will naturally know when the time comes."
Xin Zhi almost wanted to scold her.
What kind of bullshit answer is this? Huan Sansan is clearly trying to trick himself on purpose!
She endured her anger and said, "Then I will wait quietly at Prince Kang's Mansion for news about the young master."
Huan Ji crossed his fists and said, "See you later."
After saying that, he opened his long legs and walked away in another direction.
Songju, who was waiting at the corner, saw him leaving and ran over quickly.
"Girl? Where are we going now?"
"Go home!" Xin Zhi replied unhappily.
Songju didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he walked out of the alley with her.
After Huan Ji left the alley, he returned to his residence as quickly as possible.
This is a Sanjin house located in the east of the city. It is not too big and not shabby. It is very suitable for his current status.
In addition to a few rough servants hired locally, there were his servant Dong Li and two secret guards posing as followers in the house.
When the three of them saw that he was back, they gathered around him.
"Sir, why have you been gone for so long?"
Huan Ji said: "Should I go find my brother first? You guys should stay here? If you have anything to say, wait until I come back in the evening."
The three of them did not dare to ask any more questions and watched him climb over the wall and leave.
Royal children rarely trust others, and Ji Yinfeng is no exception.
Even if Nie Chengyuan was the matchmaker and a lot of money was spent? It also took a lot of trouble for Huanji to gain his trust.
Ji Yinfeng not only secretly sent people to check his house, but also his neighbors.
Fortunately, Huan Yu had anticipated all this and rented another house five houses away from this house.
The two houses are about the same size and have similar layouts, neither close nor far apart.
It not only facilitates Huanji's travels, but also does not arouse Ji Yinfeng's suspicion.
After checking several times, no clues were found, and Huan Ji indeed gained his trust.
Are the nearby residents all from wealthy families? The population is not large, and the number of servants is also very limited.
With Huan Ji's skill, he quickly saw Huan Yu without alerting them at all.
He closed the study door and walked quickly to the desk: "Brother, I'm back."
Huan Yu put down the letter in his hand and looked up at him: "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Huan Ji picked up the warm tea and took a big sip. Then he said, "Guess who I met today?"
"You want me to guess? That person must be someone you and I both know.
And I don’t know anyone in the capital of Jin Kingdom, so..."
He smiled without thinking: "This person must be Xin Zhi, the concubine Ji Yinfeng brought back from the Wei Dynasty."
"Hiss..." Huan Ji took an exaggerated breath and looked at his brother as if he had seen a ghost.
"Brother, you are so amazing. You can compare yourself to my grandfather! Could it be that...you are following me today?"
"Stop hating me! Did you meet Xin Zhi at Prince Kang's Mansion?"
"How can there be..." Huan Ji muttered and went through today's events in detail.
Huan Yu chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, although Xin Zhi is a little stronger than Xin Luo, she can never be so calm."
"Brother." Huan Ji tilted his body and put his elbow on his shoulder, smiling maliciously: "So you and the Xin sisters are so familiar?"
Huan Yu did not argue with him and said calmly: "Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles without danger.
The Xin family has issues with the Duke's Mansion, and Xin Luo has offended Xiaojiu, so of course I need to be familiar with their affairs."
"No wonder!" Huan Ji suddenly realized: "I wonder why you guessed it right. It turns out you had paid attention to it a long time ago."
