As if a basin of cold water was poured on his face, all Ning Xiuyun's crooked thoughts disappeared completely under Jian Xun's gaze.
It was still difficult for him to change his identity for a while. When it came to his attitude towards Jian Xun, he subconsciously used the most familiar method, which really shouldn't be the case.
At this time, Ning Xiuyun took a few steps back, and his eyes suddenly became cold, as if the short-term trial was over. He coldly ordered: "Shen Qi, since Jian Qing has such a consciousness, let him follow the guard camp first." Work."
Shen Qi, who had been a transparent person in the main hall for a long time with several colleagues, walked up and said, "Yes."
Shen Qi watched for a long time, and at this time she was full of hatred that iron could not be made into steel, and she felt deeply that this Xiao ...Young Master Jian is such a stupid person that he refused to answer His Highness the Crown Prince's words.
Her thoughts started to change rapidly, and she took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Your Highness, the guard camp is now living in the west courtyard, do you want Mr. Jian to live in it too?"
Ning Xiuyun glanced at her suspiciously. He didn't know why, but Shen Qi extremely enthusiastic about this matter of trying to bring him and Jian Xun together.
But it would be nice to let Jian Xun live in it, so that he wouldn't have to go back and forth to report to him every day just like working at work.
If you live in a house, you won't have such worries. The most important thing is that he can also see Jian Xun at any time, pay attention to this person's movements, and see which fork in the road the "destiny in the book" that he suddenly interrupted will eventually take.
"Then I'll leave it to you to make the arrangements." Ning Xiuyun said.
Shen Qiyu responded excitedly: "I understand. Mr. Jian, please."
Jian Xun quickly greeted the prince, turned around and followed Shen Qi.
Ning Xiuyun was silent for a moment, watching Shen Qi leave the main hall with Jian Xun. For a moment, he didn't know what this guy understood.
He yawned sleepily, guessing that Shen Qi would come back soon to take credit.
The two of them left the main hall, and Shen Qi took him to the entrance of the mansion. As he walked, she said: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince has entrusted you to me, if you have any questions about His Highness's errands in the future, just come to me. I will definitely tell you."
Shen Qi is a rare woman in the guard camp, and she is also the most accomplished person in the art of disguise. But at this time, Shen Qi said her words sincerely. She really hoped that Mr. Jian would be careful in doing things and not give in as much as possible. Don't let Your Highness be heartbroken.
It's best not to let something like the cold scene happen again.
Jian Xun followed this future colleague without any contempt, and said humbly, "Thank you, senior, for taking care of me."
Although Shen Qi looked weak, Jian Xun could tell from the way she walked. This prince's personal maid is not an ordinary person, she is a martial arts practitioner with at least ten years of martial arts skills.
As expected, there was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon beside the prince, but this person's attitude toward him seemed a little too enthusiastic.
Shen Qi responded, then asked unintentionally: "Where does Mr. Jian live now? Are there any other children who need to be settled?"
She kept paying attention to Jian Xun out of the corner of her eye, not missing the slightest change in this man's expression, to determine whether the other party shows signs of lying.
Jian Xun's expression did not change, he shook his head and said, "Jian is now...alone, living in the Jiangcheng garrison camp."
Shen Qi nodded repeatedly and smiled with satisfaction.
She knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had good taste. Mr. Jian was indeed a good and clean man, completely different from those young men from aristocratic families who claimed to be loyal but actually lived in the same house.
She originally had a charming appearance, but now she looked inexplicably amiable when she smiled, and she looked a little...kind?
Shen Qi looked at Jian Xun like a big cabbage that was about to grow. She said, "That's good. Mr. Jian can go back and pack some necessary things. Our Highness can take care of you. What do you need later? Just tell me, go and come back quickly."
Jian Xun was a little frightened by her stare, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps: "Thank you, senior, for the tip, Jian will come back as soon as you go."
After Shen Qi delivered Jian Xun to the door, the two set a time for Jian Xun to return home and then said goodbye to each other without any delay.
As soon as Jian Xun came out of the temporary Prince's Mansion, he immediately noticed obscure glances coming from around him.
As expected, the Jiangcheng family was so bold that they sent spies to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, so they had to plant spies in the Prince's Mansion openly and openly.
Jian Xun guessed that with the methods of the Prince's guard camp, it was impossible not to notice these prying eyes, so he held back at this moment. He didn't know whether he didn't want to cause a conflict with the local powerful family, or he had other plans.
He couldn't figure it out for the moment, so he just rode his horse all the way out of Jiangcheng and rushed to the garrison camp outside the city to prepare to pack some personal belongings.
Jian Xun originally planned to come back and leave in a low-key manner, but as soon as he entered the garrison camp, he was surrounded by several instructors. These people were smiling and looking for words to please.
"Brother Jian is finally back! I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?"
"I heard that Brother Jian was chosen by His Highness the Crown Prince as a guard. He is really a talented person. I have long known that Brother Jian will become famous one day!"
"Brother Jian, considering our past friendship, can you say a few kind words for everyone stationed in the military camp in front of that person?" Everyone was talking, and Jian Xun was almost overwhelmed by compliments.
These people used to despise him extremely, always talking behind his back and mocking Jian Xun for being a blockhead who couldn't adapt. Now that they saw that he was gaining power, they all chased after him like maggots in their tarsus.
Talking about people and talking about ghosts is exactly what this group of people is good at.
After all, no matter how powerful the Jiangcheng family was, they could never compare to the noble prince.
Jian Xun realized that these cats and dogs who didn't know where they came from also wanted to follow the chickens and dogs to heaven.
"I have official duties, so I won't accompany you." He avoided the crowd with an indifferent expression and walked quickly towards his courtyard.
Not to mention that he is still confused about this new job. Even if he is really used by the prince one day, Jian Xun doesn't think it is something worth showing off everywhere, let alone making this news known to everyone?
He couldn't bear to be disturbed. As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw Fu Jing pacing anxiously in the courtyard with his eyebrows furrowed.
Seeing Jian Xun come back, Fu Jing immediately came up to him and asked: "I heard that you were chosen by the prince? Don't you hate doing this the most? Forget it, it doesn't matter, you Have you met that person? Tell me, what kind of person is he?"
Jian Xun looked solemn and did not explain. He only said: "I have a reason to do this."
Jian Xun had not planned to climb the mountain at first. Going to the prince's route was his first choice. He preferred the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. However, his uncle said that Guan Maoshi, who helped Xiu Yun get out of trouble, must be a member of the prince's gang. If he wanted to redeem someone from Guan Maoshi, he should go to the prince's side. The line is better.
After all, Guan Maoshi was not only a second-rank official, but also a wealthy family. Money and power were nothing to Guan Maoshi, and it was difficult for ordinary officials to gain face from him.
Unless Jian Xun one day becomes a marquis and becomes prime minister, Guan Maoshi will have to retreat from him.
Becoming a Marquis and Prime Minister is a difficult path. It's not that Jian Xun has no confidence in himself, it's just that it takes too long.
He couldn't let Xiu Yun wait for him alone in Xiangcheng, and he knew the way to see him as soon as possible but abandoned it. Then was he still a human being?
Interceding with the prince is the most convenient and quickest way.
Now that he has been chosen by the prince, Jian Xun plans to work seriously, not only for Xiu Yun's freedom, he also wants to see for himself whether the future monarch of Daqi can really be a wise monarch as the people want him to be. .
Jian Xun thought like this, frowned slightly and said, "As for His Highness the Crown Prince... he is a bit moody and tolerant to his subordinates. When I come back this time, I will pack my things and temporarily enter His Highness the Crown Prince's guard camp."
He recalled the previous scene in the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, the two were just talking, but after a few words, the Prince suddenly changed his expression. Jian recalled it several times, but he still couldn't find out what the problem was.
Fu Jing frowned, but after hearing what he said, his expression did not relax. He couldn't help but murmured: "Moody... Most kings are like this... But..."
He seemed to be distressed about something, and repeated Jian Xun's words in his mouth. Finally, he flicked his sleeves and said somewhat self-defeatingly, "Forget it! You can't see what I want to see with your eyes. Anyway, it will be in three days, Jie Fengyan, even if my father breaks my legs, I will still go and see him."
Jian Xun: "..."
The veins on his forehead were pulsing, and Fu Jing's words made him look like a blind man.
Jian Xunxin said that he can help the other party now without Master Fu taking action.
But considering the years of friendship, he sneered coldly and said, "It's up to you." Then he turned and went back to his room to pack his things.
Fu Jing was completely unaware of the potential danger. He followed Jian Xun casually and wanted to ask for other details.
The expression on his face softened slightly, and he realized belatedly that Jian Xun's promotion speed was a bit too fast. He was just selected today, and how many hours later did he join the prince's guard camp?
Fu Jing then sighed and said: "My father is so capable now that he can put you directly into the guard camp? I heard that Commander Shen of the guard camp is not easy to deal with. He is not making things difficult for you, is he?"
I heard that in the southern patrol convoy, the prince's escort camp is a copper wall. All of them belong directly to the prince. They only act according to the prince's orders. Even the governor, Guan Shishi, has to give in.
And the commander of the guard camp was on an equal footing with Pei Yan, the former confidant of the prince and the son of the current prime minister. This is evident from the fact that the guard camp is now at its peak.
Jian Xun paused in packing his clothes and frowned slightly. When he mentioned the surname "Shen", he could only think of Shen Qi who had just sent him out of the house.
He asked: "Commander Shen...is she a woman?"
Fu Jing was surprised: "That's not the case. According to the reports of the people sent by my father, she is a young talent with strong martial arts skills."
The two looked at each other and fell silent.
After a moment, Fu Jing said in confusion: "You haven't seen him? Isn't he the prince's personal guard...?"
Jiangcheng temporary prince's mansion.
Ning Xiuyun walked around the mansion. The mansion was very big, bigger than the old-fashioned mansions Ning Xiuyun had seen before. There was a main courtyard and two side courtyards in the east and west. Behind the main courtyard is the back garden, which has small bridges, flowing water, lush green vegetation, cascading rockeries, and bluestone paved roads, which makes it uniquely interesting.
Shen Qi sent people to clean out the study room in the mansion. Ning Xiuyun is now staying in the study room, looking through some official documents sent by Fu Rushen.
Commander Shen, who was hiding in front of Jian Xun, had just come out of hiding.
Shen San came quietly from the west courtyard after Jian Xun left. At this time, he was standing at the table grinding. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him as a martial arts practitioner doing such boring things, and he even felt a little proud.
Every time Jian Xun was around, Shen San had to cover himself up in fear to avoid exposing His Highness the Crown Prince's former identity. This was doing a very important thing for His Highness the Crown Prince.
But the brats in the guard camp were all big and small in front of him. Shen San was hanging out in the west courtyard like a thief, and those brats dared to tease him for falling out of favor with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Shen San was not someone who could swallow his anger in the guard camp. He beat the group of people all over and then walked out with his head held high.
Now that he was finally back in front of the prince, Commander Shen had finally relieved all the depression in his heart, and the movements of his hands were getting harder and harder.
But Ning Xiuyun looked at his waving arms and wanted to crush the ink sticks completely, and knew that this big boss was not suitable for such delicate work.
He raised his hand to stop: "Stop."
After Shen San put down the ink stick in his hand, Ning Xiuyun clicked the ink, glanced at the official documents on the table, and asked: "How did Fu Rushen convince you? Or... You took it upon yourself to put his name on the first page of the roster?"
Both of them knew who this "him" was referring to. Shen San said respectfully: "Master Fu did mention that Mr. Jian's name should be placed on the first page of the roster. In the seat in front of me, my subordinate was thinking about Zui Feng Tower... and agreed. Your Highness would like to come..."
The pen in Ning Xiuyun's hand stagnated, he chuckled, and said, "You seem very proud? What do you think? He guessed my thoughts and knew that I valued him, so he dared to be so arbitrary."
Shen San heard the coldness in these words, and immediately knelt down: "I am aware of my guilt. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Ning Xiuyun threw the brush in his hand on the table, and the tip of the pen exploded on the rice paper in an instant. An ink flower made Shen San's heart tremble.
The prince was dressed in a python robe, and the mask hid his overly beautiful face. Even his voice returned to the low and hoarse look before. He said in a cold voice: "You don't have a long memory, and you are a little too eager for quick success. Pei Yan is in front of you even more. I missed the mark."
"Concealing something secretly and not reporting it is one, and wanting to have a close relationship with Fu Rushen is the other. Do you admit it?"
Shen San felt cold in his heart. When he agreed to Fu Rushen, he only wanted to please His Highness the Crown Prince, but instead He never thought that he was in the position of the leader of the guard camp, with many prying eyes, and he should have carefully considered what he should and should not do.
Commander Shen's heart was in a state of turmoil, and he regretted his eagerness to make a contribution, so he simply sent Jian Xun to His Highness the Crown Prince. But he forgot that the two were no longer lovers. Shen San had no idea why Jian Xun wanted to work for the prince.
Shen San just wanted to slap himself. If he didn't use the right measure this time, all his previous achievements might be wiped out.
He waited tremblingly for the prince's resignation.
I just heard Ning Xiuyun let out a long sigh, with deep helplessness in his tone: "Shen San, you know why I gave this name to you. I want the guard camp to become a sharp blade in my hand, never to be influenced by others. Sharp Blade, you have overstepped your bounds."
"I admit my guilt." Shen San bowed deeply, knowing that he might not be able to escape punishment this time. His heart suddenly felt lighter, and some of the heavy panic disappeared, leaving him not knowing what he would suffer. The confusion and fear of punishment.
Ning Xiuyun was silent for a long time, staring at the hair on the kneeling Shen San. Then he slowly said: "That's all, when he is here, don't show your face anymore. Pei Yan's side is deserted, so just follow him." Go."
Shen San's face suddenly turned green when he thought of Pei Yan's sharp-tongued and unforgiving mouth.
But he had done something wrong first, and naturally there was no room for change, so he said with a stiff expression: "I obey the orders."
Ning Xiuyun knocked on the table and said, "Okay. Don't be downcast. I have one more thing for you. Pei Yan has personal relationships with many people in the team. I want you to investigate all of this and report the merits." Excuse the crime. Remember to think twice before doing anything in the future."
These words were called demotion, but they were actually undercover surveillance. Shen San's eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand!"
After being beaten by His Highness the Crown Prince, Shen San finally felt like he had received a slap in the face. Being able to break away from the relationship between the prince and Jian Xun and think about the problem from another angle, he hesitated and said: "Fu Rushen sent Mr. Jian here just to make a name for himself. What if he came for your highness? Mr. Jian's martial arts skills cannot be matched by Shen Qi alone, so he has to guard against it..."
It seems that Commander Shen's mind has not only become clear, but he has also fallen into the trap of conspiracy theories.
Hearing this, Ning Xiuyun chuckled and said, "Really?"
"Then let him try it."
Shen San: Thank you for the invitation. I am in Jiangcheng and I have found an ancestor for myself. The status of the commander will not be high immediately. Guarantee...
On the surface: Acting recklessly and improperly, in fact: Increase the intensity!
