"Who is there?" Ji Xiaotang asked.∮,

"The second master, the third master, and Lord Qi are all here." The servant replied respectfully.

"I understand. I'll go to Shifang, it's okay." Ji Xiaotang nodded, entered Ruyi Garden, deliberately bypassed the way to the flower hall, and went straight to Shifang.

Nowadays, enjoying the cool air on the stone yard is better than a flower hall. However, the stone yard in Ruyi Garden is slightly smaller and the decoration is more simple, so the Ji family rarely entertains guests here.

Ji Xiaotang walked slowly along the way with the shade of flowers. Qingyuan had a severe drought, but drinking water in the city was not a problem. The underground of the Ji family mansion seemed to be rich in water, but it was a bit harder for the people who were taking care of the flowers and trees.

The stone yard is far away from the far door, and Ji Xiaotang walked slowly and came closer after a while. Because the stone yard is built in the water, it is connected to an arched corridor on the shore. The waves under the corridor are sparkling, and as soon as you walk in, there is a hint of shady air.

Ji Xiaotang shook the palace fan and nodded secretly. This place is indeed a good place to cool off, but the location in the garden is slightly off. Ji Xiaotang looked at the water view from left to right, and then went to the side of the stone yard.

"Huh?" Ji Xiaotang suddenly felt something strange and stopped. There was a jade screen at the connection between the corridor and the stone yard. There seemed to be someone behind the screen.

"Who is inside?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

No one answered.

At this time, all the female family members of the Ji family were in their respective houses, and Master Ji Er and others were accompanying the guests. There should not be anyone in this stone yard. I think he was too concerned, so Ji Xiaotang stepped over a threshold and slowly walked around the screen.

The light behind the screen was much dimmer than outside, and then Ji Xiaotang still saw it at a glance, and there was a person standing in the stone yard. It was an extremely tall man, standing towards Ji Xiaotang with his back, with an extremely free and easy attitude.

The girls followed Ji Xiaotang in and the man also appeared.

"Who is so bold? The third girl is here, why don't you quit quickly?" Jin'er shouted hurriedly.

The man seemed to know that someone was coming. However, he was not panicked at all, but turned his head slowly.

Ji Xiaotang was stunned.

The man in front of him was wearing a half-new trousers and a slightly dark face. He had a faint smile in his dark eyes.

"It's you!" Ji Xiaotang recognized the person in front of her at a glance. Wasn't it the stupid big hunter who helped her on Qingxi Mountain and disappeared without a trace?

"How could it be you!" Ji Xiaotang said again.

"It's me." Others may not understand what Ji Xiaotang meant, but Han Zhen suddenly understood, and the smile in his eyes became stronger. "≤, nodded slightly at Ji Xiaotang, confirming that Ji Xiaotang did not admit his mistake.

The stupid hunter on Qingxi Mountain was Han Zhen.

Ji Xiaotang recognized Han Zhen, which did not mean that the girls who followed could recognize the person dressed as a hunter in front of him, but the distinguished guests at home. Jin'er and Xiu'er rushed forward and stopped Ji Xiaotang and Han Zhen, looking at Han Zhen's expression very defensive.

Such a person suddenly appears in a stone yard, and he must be uneasy. He is afraid that the thief outside will come in secretly, which will be detrimental to their girls.

"I'm here this time. I'm here to receive the reward. Although it's a little late, Xiaotang won't count what he said at that time?" Han Zhen said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang quickly waved his hands to several girls.

"Don't panic, this is a guest at home." Ji Xiaotang said, and instructed Jin'er, "Go and tell the second master and the third master. The person who helped me save the third master was here."

Jin'er still didn't understand very well, but she agreed immediately and was about to go out.

"Slow down." Han Zhen raised his hand, "It's just a trivial matter, and there's no need to work Lord Ji for the time being."

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Han Zhen. He knew that he had something to say to him, and she happened to have something to ask Han Zhen. Ji Xiaotang winked at Jin'er and asked her to stand aside for the time being.

The stone yard has all the tables and chairs, and the girls have arranged the brocade mats in just a moment. After arranging tea fruits, Ji Xiaotang asked Han Zhen to sit down by the table.

"I really didn't expect..." Ji Xiaotang poured tea for Han Zhen and said.

"Xiaotang has recognized me a long time ago!" Han Zhen said. Ji Xiaotang recognized his identity just now and did not show his due surprise. Therefore, Han Zhen guessed that Ji Xiaotang should have long suspected the relationship between him and the hunter.

"It's not that early. It's still this time when I saw your back on Qingxi Mountain. I suddenly remembered it and felt very familiar." Ji Xiaotang told Han Zhen truthfully, "I'm going to tell Uncle Han that even if you don't show up in front of me like this, I'm going to ask you for verification."

"I just thought that with Xiaotang's intelligence, I will recognize me sooner or later. Instead of being asked in person by you, it's better for me to confess first." Han Zhen picked up the teacup, his eyes stayed on Ji Xiaotang's body. "Xiaotang has grown taller again."

Ji Xiaotang is at the age when a girl grows the fastest. Compared to the first time Han Zhen saw her, she not only grew much taller, but her appearance and figure added to the charm of a girl. Han Zhen was amazed at the first sight of Ji Xiaotang, and now seeing Ji Xiaotang again surprised him even more.

"Uncle Han helped us. I didn't know Uncle Han's identity at that time. I was offensive, so I used tea instead of wine. I also asked Uncle Han to have a lot of it, so don't take it to heart." Ji Xiaotang also picked up the teacup.

Of course, Ji Xiaotang would not forget what she said, and wanted to reward Han Zhen.

When Han Zhen heard this, he seemed to be in front of him. That was the only experience he had in this life. He couldn't help but chuckled twice.⊥,

"I will never forget that thing in my life." Han Zhen said this meaningless sentence, but he also drank the tea.

Seeing Han Zhen’s happy attitude, Ji Xiaotang also thought of his identity, so he would not be worried about such trivial matters, so he drank tea and let something go in his heart.

The two of them talked for a while and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Han Zhen did not have the airs of a prince in front of Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang's words and actions in front of Han Zhen were extremely natural, not restrained, and not overly polite.

Both of them were very satisfied with each other's attitude.

"Uncle Han is an undercover investigation, so he pretends to be a hunter. Is there anything in Qingxi Mountain? What is Uncle Han visiting?" Ji Xiaotang and Han Zhen reviewed the first meeting, and then asked naturally.

"Oh..." Han Zhen pondered, and did not answer immediately, but his eyes did not avoid Ji Xiaotang.

"If Uncle Han is inconvenient to say it, just pretend that I have not asked."

The current atmosphere is so good, Han Zhen will never say nothing. Moreover, he appeared in Qingyuan several times, appeared in front of him, and now he is still living in the Ji family...

Ji Xiaotang asked casually, but Han Zhen couldn't help but change his face. However, he was extremely cunning and quickly covered up the past. It was difficult for ordinary people to notice his loss of composure at that moment.

"It's very likely." Han Zhen said.

"Very likely?"

"Not bad." Han Zhen nodded, "Although Qingyuan is not famous, it is a brilliant place. It is a Feng Shui treasure land and has a very good location."

“How to say it?”

"Xiaotang, you read a lot of books and think you are very clear about Qingyuan's location." Qingyuan's transportation is extremely convenient, but it is not on the main hub of the transportation between the north and south of the Qin Dynasty. Moreover, Qingyuan is backed by the continuous mountains and facing the sea.

"It's hard to find when going south and north, whether retreating into the mountains or going out to sea to escape." Han Zhen said with his fingers on the table.

Ji Xiaotang had to nod his head secretly about Han Zhen's resignation.

Qingyuan does possess these geographical advantages.

"I didn't expect that there would be descendants of the Song Dynasty royal family in Qingyuan, but I just don't know who it is?" This sentence was to himself and was also asking Han Zhen.

Han Zhen shook his head.

"Xiaotang, Qingyuan is not only likely to have descendants of the Song Dynasty royal family, but also likely to have the remnants of the Great Yan entrenched here."

"oh?"

"The secret orders I have to be, first, search for descendants of the Song Dynasty royal family, and add comfort, and second, to clear the remnants of the Great Yan."

The descendants of the royal family, with generous comfort and remnants, have clearly shown the completely different attitude of the royal family towards the descendants of the Song Dynasty and the descendants of the Yan Dynasty.

"The remnants of the Great Yan..." Ji Xiaotang murmured, and something seemed to be gradually clear in his mind.

"Although Da Yan was destroyed after our Great Qin, the remnants of evil spirits were undead and kept moving in secret, wanting to take the opportunity to overthrow our Great Qin. The court sent a lot of secret spies, many of which were dead at the hands of the remnants of the Great Qin." Han Zhen said this, frowned almost invisibly.

"Wouldn't Uncle Han be too dangerous?"

"This is natural." Han Zhen had no intention of denying it at all.

Han Zhen was assigned to take on such a job, on the one hand, which shows that he is indeed capable, and on the other hand, it also shows that he is deeply trusted today.

Ji Xiaotang inevitably showed a little nervousness. Han Zhen can live in her home now.

Han Zhen seemed to see Ji Xiaotang's emotions and smiled.

"Don't worry, Xiaotang, I live here, no one knows."

"That's good." Ji Xiaotang breathed a sigh of relief.

Is no one really aware? He is sure that no one will attack him now.

After saying this, Ji Xiaotang's expression frowned again, and his brows frowned slightly.

"Xiaotang is not at ease? I have my own arrangements, so Xiaotang doesn't have to worry about it." Han Zhen said. Although he only brought a few people around him, they were all good at being a good player. Moreover, on the surface, these people naturally had other guards in secret, but ordinary people couldn't notice it.

"Uncle Han, I am worried about the people of Qingyuan."

If Han Zhen said everything was true, the descendants of the royal family of the Song Dynasty and the remnants of the Da Yan attempted to rebel were in Qingyuan, then Qingyuan would inevitably be difficult to calm down, and the people who were in the brunt of the Qingyuan were the people.
