The lights in the prince's main palace were brightly lit, and it was obvious that Si Mo hadn't fallen asleep yet.

When Xiao Zhen entered, he was looking at a booklet. It seemed that something was written on the booklet that made him quite unhappy.

side.

Xiao Zhen picked up the fold and when he closed it, he inadvertently saw three words at the bottom of the fold: Han Ziran.

Is it the secret of the new top scholar Han Ziran?

Xiao Zhen knew that the emperor liked this new champion, but why didn't the prince seem to like him?

Otherwise, the coupon he presented would not have been lost.

As soon as Xiao Zhen put the fold away, he saw His Highness the Prince taking it over to look at it again. He looked at it and wanted to throw it away, but in the end he did not throw it away. Instead, he closed his eyes and looked at it again.

I don't know how long it took before he put the fold down and frowned in silence.

Afraid that the prince was thinking about something, Xiao Zhen didn't dare to disturb him and waited respectfully. This was how she got along with the prince. They could go many days without saying a word, but they knew that they had feelings for each other when they were by each other's side.

Indescribable peace of mind.

"Your Highness, it's late at night and it's time to go to bed."

Xiao Zhen saw that it was almost time and reminded him loudly.

The prince didn't say anything in response, but he put down the ink pen in his hand and walked towards his bedchamber.

It was only after Xiao Zhen served him closely that he realized that there was no personal palace attendant around the prince. He did all the cleaning after waking up and before going to bed. Just like now, this is what she likes about Mo'er very much.

"I will not marry my cousin from the Ning family."

Si Mo said while changing his clothes. He didn't know why he wanted to tell Xiao Zhen about this.

Xiao Zhenzhen took the clothes for the prince. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and expressed his opinion: "The Ning family is a big family. If we can marry your highness, it will be of great help to your highness in the future. But Ning is not the only one who can help your highness."

Home, haha, His Highness is still young, so I don’t think there’s any need to be too anxious and can slowly choose the Crown Princess.”

Si Mo suddenly threw all the clothes Xiao Zhen handed over to the ground and looked at Xiao Zhen with a dark face.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

"have no idea."

Si Mo was indescribably angry, but he didn't know what he was angry about, so he simply went to bed: "Also, didn't you promise that you would call yourself me in front of me?"

The next day, it snowed the most this year, and soon everything inside and outside the palace was covered in silver.

As the New Year approached, the snow did not bring much joy to the people. Sometimes, Babaili Jizo would receive several letters a day. Severe snowstorms occurred in the north and south, and countless refugees came to the capital.

After Xiao Zhen finished practicing martial arts with the old general, he came to the imperial study room and took over as the shadow guard inside.

This was the first time she really saw Han Ziran, the new top scholar in the imperial study, who was now serving in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The slightly gloomy look on that Junya's face did not go away because he was in front of the prince. Even when he looked at the prince, his eyes were cold.

The prince obviously didn't like Han Ziran, but he was seriously thinking about his proposal.

The imperial study room was so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing.

Xiao Zhen's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. When she first came in, she heard Mr. Han's suggestion on how to ease the difficult problem, which was to divert the roads to various counties and cities, and at the same time divert food. It was obvious that the prince accepted this suggestion, but for some reason

The atmosphere between the two of them was a bit tense.

"There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, let's just settle it."

Si Mo coldly glanced at the ministers sitting under him, his eyes fell on the wheelchair Han Ziran was sitting on, and then he looked back: "The new Minister of Household Affairs, Han Qing, will execute it."

"yes."

When the ministers saw that the matter had been concluded, they withdrew.

Han Ziran's wheelchair was also pushed out by the palace staff.

When Si Mo was the only one left in the imperial study, a shadow appeared in front of him and knelt down and said: "Your Highness, the people we sent in the Han Mansion reported back and found nothing unusual, but the old general felt that this refugee incident

It is very likely that there will be people from the third and fifth princes pretending to be among them."

"I understand. Let's talk to the old general and everything will go according to plan."

"yes."

Xiao Zhen was secretly shocked when he heard this. His Highness actually suspected that Lord Han was a member of the third and fifth princes?

"Your Highness, the old general said that Xiao Zhen should go with Wu Yin and others for this operation."

The shadow guard finished speaking and disappeared.

Xiao Zhen, who was hiding in the dark, brightened up. Can she go on a mission?

very nice.

Noticing the fluctuation of breathing in the dark, Si Mo couldn't help but frowned. His eyes were still looking at Zhezi, but he said to Xiao Zhen: "Are you excited to go on a mission?"

"This is my first mission, so I'm very excited."

"Being a Shadow Guard is dangerous."

"But it's about making money."

"Are you short of money?

I have it, and I will give it to you as much as you want."

Without thinking, Si Mo just said it. After finishing speaking, he frowned. He was not too special to Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen didn't think so much, and just said happily: "Thank you for your highness's love. As a shadow guard, I can only strengthen myself when performing tasks, so that I can protect your highness in the future."

Si Mo listened quietly and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously to protect him?

He continued to look at the fold without saying anything.

Five days before the Chinese New Year, Wu Yin took Xiao Zhen to the outside of the city. There were already a large number of refugees living outside the city, and officers and soldiers were in the process of resettling these refugees.

"I killed a few troublemakers a few days ago."

Wu Yin and Xiao Zhen stood on a small hill, pointing to the temporary huts specially built for the refugees in the west, at the foot of the Emperor Mountain, about a hundred meters away from them: "Although they are wearing the clothes of refugees, their bodies are

He is strong and has a plump complexion. You can tell at a glance that he has sneaked in."

Along the way, Zhao Jie, Zhang Liu and Wu Yin had told her about the fight for the throne in the imperial court five years ago. Although it had ended, the secret fight had not stopped, just like this refugee incident.

Xiao Zhen was surprised that the struggle for power could be so cruel, and in the end, Mo'er, who was only seven years old, reaped the benefits.

"The shadow guards are saying among themselves that the battle for superiority at that time was actually planned by His Highness."

Zhang Liu said.

"How is this possible?"

Xiao Zhen didn't believe it: "His Royal Highness was only seven years old at that time."

"We also think it's impossible, but His Highness is precocious, and after thinking about it, it's not impossible. After all, the Emperor has so many heirs, how could it be possible that the Ninth Prince, who is only seven years old, will finally benefit."

Zhao Jie pointed not far away and said: "Look, Han Ziran is out of the city."

Xiao Zhen looked up, and sure enough he saw a sedan being carried out from the city and heading towards the refugee shed not far away.

"Is Master Han really the third prince and the fifth prince?"

Xiao Zhen thought of the young man in the wheelchair. If such a talented young man really helped Mo'er, his future would be many times stronger than he is now.

"Let's prove it today.

Let’s go.”

Wu Yin and the others took Xiao Zhen down from the hill and secretly followed the sedan toward the refugee camp.

Although they were refugees, everyone lived well under the arrangements of the imperial court. Some of the strong men were arranged to go to the foot of the Imperial Mountain to clear out the wasteland. The soldiers also brought textile looms to the women and children, and the cloth they woven would be unified by the imperial court.

Buy and sell.

Men farm and women weave, this scene can be said to be very good.

The four Wu and Yin people, who had changed into ordinary clothes, followed Mr. Han's sedan from a distance and saw the sedan being carried into a yard, which was a temporary shed used by the officials of the DPRK.

While waiting outside and thinking about how to sneak into the courtyard to see what the people inside were doing, he saw Xiao Zhen's eyes always falling in front of several refugees with bows and arrows not far away. Those refugee men seemed to be organized to attack.

We went hunting in the mountains, and the man in the lead was talking about something.

"They are hunters."

Zhang Liu said from the side: "I used to make a living by hunting, so someone organized the hunters to go into the mountains to hunt and improve their food. These days, a group of people are selected to go into the mountains every day."

"The Imperial Mountain is deep and vast, and there must be a lot of wild animals in it. It makes me want to go hunting."

Xiao Zhen's eyes fell on the quivers in the waists of those men: "Their sword pouches are really strange, some are short and some are long."

"What's wrong?"

Wu Yin, Zhao Jie, Zhang Liu and others looked along Xiao Zhen's line of sight. They didn't understand arrows, but they had also played with them: "Does the length of the quiver matter?"

"A short quiver means that the arrows are also short. Common people generally use straight tail feathers for arrows because they are cheap. At a hunting meeting in Shan County, I saw those bows used by noble families, which were equipped with spiral tail feathers.

Short arrows are very lethal." Xiao Zhen looked at Wu Yin and the other three and said, "Short arrows must be put in such a short quiver. Short arrows must be paired with a nest bow to be lethal, otherwise they are not as powerful as a straight arrow.

Where’s the long arrow?”
