The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, and behind the oriole, there is a silent hunter.
Zhang Shou felt that this was probably the best description of his rare two days of rest.
He and Wang Jie set up a trap and dragged Zhu Ying to act together, and ended up luring out a royal family member who was hostile to him, Zheng Huai'en, and it has been confirmed that the person was the one who sent the sword to threaten him. However, when he and Zhu Ying seemed to have come to Zhaoyuan to stay temporarily on a whim, the two remnants who escaped from the Linhai camp targeted him. And behind the two remnants, the Seventh Master Hua had already spread a net.
Of course, the one who made the biggest sacrifice was Zhu Ying. If it were most of the rich ladies nowadays, it would be wishful thinking to date for autumn viewing before getting married; and if it were the girls of later generations, dating for other purposes would be even more unrepentant! However, when he told Miss Zhu that he had other purposes after enjoying the autumn, she readily agreed.
So at this moment, facing Zhu Ying's anxious face, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh: "Of course I'm fine, not a scratch!"
"Really?" Zhu Ying had already come to the bed. The bed in the east room was not a step-out bed like in a small house, so she didn't have to bend down, but she couldn't help but half-lean forward.
As if she was afraid that Zhang Shou was lying to her, she stared at Zhang Shou from head to toe for a long time. Finally, when she was sure that he really had no injuries on his body, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily you're okay. I was so scared! In addition to the two people Uncle Hua and I caught, there are still people in Zhao Garden who took advantage of the annual routine maintenance to collude with outsiders, secretly hide traitors, install copper pipes and plot evil. They even added something to the calming incense I sent you! If we hadn't captured the traitor alive this time, I would never be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River!"
At this point, Zhu Ying lowered her head. "Although Uncle Hua repeatedly assured me that catching the man would be a great achievement, and that all the credit would belong to you, and that you would have everything you wanted to get promoted and make money, and that you would be safe with Ah Liu following you, I really didn't want to agree. When I heard that it might be a traitor from the Linhai Camp, I didn't want you to take risks even more. Ah Shou, I'm sorry for putting you in danger..."
"Didn't you just come here specially to tell me? Since I promised you myself, why are you still saying sorry?"
Zhang Shou interrupted Zhu Ying, turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window, and then smiled at the girl in front of him: "Besides, what Mr. Hua Qi needs me to do is essentially the same as what I do for Wang Dayin. There are certain risks, but they are all within the controllable range. Besides, it's not bad to change your mind occasionally after talking and thinking all day in the Imperial College."
"Tomorrow I will urge Ah Liu to practice our Zhu family's inherited swordsmanship well and let him teach you well!" Zhu Ying took a deep breath and said with courage, "Such a big thing has happened, how about you move to another place?"
Zhang Shou was about to say no, but when he saw the redness on Zhu Ying's face that couldn't be concealed at all, he was slightly stunned, and then he smiled and said, "Why, you want to follow the example of the Madam who let me live in the wing of Qing'an Hall and move me to the east or west wing of Qiu Shuang Zhai, and live next to you in the main hall? When I was at my house, there was no other way, but it's not to this extent now."
