In the days that followed, Zhang Ren stayed by Zhu Yunwen's side and never left.
Until Prince Zhu Biao was buried on the east side of Xiaoling Mausoleum, with the layers of earth filled, his life was finally concluded.
During the period of Zhu Biao's funeral, Li Jinglong was the busiest. He almost searched all the guard posts around Yingtian Mansion. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works also had to make three trips a day in order to find out. Who wants to assassinate Zhang Ren to clear himself of suspicion? This is somewhat aggrieved.
It's a pity that no matter how hard Li Jinglong tried, he didn't get any clues.
In addition, Yingtian's defense has become a top priority recently, and he is really a little angry, his temper is also very bad, and there are a lot of bubbles in his mouth.
Compared with Li Jinglong's distress, Zhang Ren had already expected that the enemy was hiding in the dark and could smuggle bows, arrows and soldiers into Jinling City. His status in the military must be high, and it would not be easy to find out. .
Of course, Zhang Ren also had doubts about the candidates. There were two people he doubted. One was Lan Yu. If anything happened to Zhu Yunwen, the one who was most likely to inherit the throne would be Zhu Yunxi. The other one is Li Jinglong. It is too easy for him to do all this, but Zhang Ren can't think of a reason for him to do it. Li Jinglong is still working hard to find the murderer, maybe he is just doing it for others to see.
Of course, all this is Zhang Ren's conjecture, and he can't provide any evidence.
After the funeral, Zhang Ren comforted Zhu Yunwen and asked Jia Yuntong and Sun Qiyue to take good care of Zhu Yunwen's safety before returning home.
These days, he not only has to accompany Zhu Yunwen to keep vigil, but he also has to tighten his nerves at all times to be on guard. His level of fatigue is not at all inferior to that of Li Jinglong, and he urgently needs a good rest.
Zhang Ren dragging his tired body had just entered the door of the house, but saw the concierge running quickly.
"Master Ren, are you back?" the concierge asked.
Zhang Ren nodded and said, "I'm back. What happened at home recently?"
The concierge replied: "It's not too important, but two girls came to see Master Ren today."
"Two girls?" Zhang Ren asked.
The concierge nodded and said, "Yes, one of them is the girl who came to see you last time."
Zhang Ren thought for a while, the only girl who had ever been to his house was Han Qin, and then he asked, "What about the other one?"
The concierge said, "The other one is also a beautiful girl, but she doesn't look like she's from a wealthy family. She also has many small cloth bags on her body."
Among the girls Zhang Ren knew, only Xu Haoyuan fit the bill.
As soon as he heard that Xu Haoyuan was looking for him, he immediately cheered up and asked, "Where is the girl?"
The concierge replied: "Both girls are waiting for you in the front yard."
After hearing this, Zhang Ren felt bad. He didn't know what kind of sparks Han Qin and Xu Haoyuan would collide with? Xu Haoyuan won't misunderstand him, right?
However, Zhang Ren soon felt relieved. He and Han Qin were at best friends, and there would be no misunderstandings if they came to Xu Haoyuan.
Zhang Ren quickly ran to the front yard.
But it felt like the air had become stagnant, and there seemed to be a lot of invisible lightning flashing around him.
I saw Han Qin and Xu Haoyuan standing opposite each other, not looking very friendly in each other's eyes.
….
Zhang Ren had never encountered such a scene in his two lifetimes. He didn't know what to do for a moment. Fortunately, the two girls also saw him. In just a moment, the invisible feeling of stagnation disappeared.
Han Qin smiled like a flower and ran directly to Zhang Ren. She grabbed Zhang Ren's sleeve and said softly: "Brother Ren, are you back?"
Zhang Ren only felt that he was hallucinating. Every time Han Qin saw him, he would call him "Zhang Ren". What the hell is this "brother Ren"? Moreover, this weak clip sound does not agree with Han Qin's character setting.
Zhang Ren was afraid that Han Qin was harboring some bad ideas, so he quickly pulled back his sleeves and asked Han Qin, "County Master, are you okay?"
Han Qin looked coquettish and said, "Brother Ren, I came here specifically to find you."
Zhang Ren immediately pushed to the side and smiled awkwardly at Xu Haoyuan.
Xu Haoyuan cupped his hands towards Zhang Ren and said, "Mr. Zhang, the story hasn't been finished yet. I came here to find you. I don't know if that's a bit presumptuous."
Xu Haoyuan still looks like a child of the world, but her tone today is a little more delicate than usual.
Zhang Ren looked exactly like Brother Zhu, and he quickly smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, I'll tell Miss Xu right now."
But Han Qin interrupted at this moment: "Brother Ren, who is this girl? Why don't you introduce her?"
Han Qin's words sounded like a hostess, which made Xu Haoyuan frown slightly, but Zhang Ren didn't seem to notice it.
Zhang Ren also spoke immediately, first introducing Han Qin to Xu Haoyuan, "This is Han Qin, the head of Le'an County."
The introduction is straightforward.
Then Zhang Ren introduced Xu Haoyuan to Han Qin, "This is Xu Haoyuan, a famous heroine in the world. Although she is young, she is now the ninth generation elder of the Beggar Clan. Her martial arts skills are high and her internal strength is deep." People of her generation who are the best in the world all say that her style is no less than that of Gang Leader Huang in the past. In my opinion, this is not true. Miss Xu’s style should have surpassed that of Gang Leader Huang in the past.”
Han Qin was very dissatisfied with the order and words of Zhang Ren's introduction, and his little mouth was so pouty that it could catch the oil can.
Xu Haoyuan, on the other hand, was quite satisfied. He saluted Zhang Ren Yingying and said, "If Mr. Zhang deserves such praise, how can I dare to compare with the former Gang Leader Huang?"
As Xu Haoyuan spoke, he did not forget to smile at Han Qin, which made Han Qin even more angry.
At this time, Han Qin didn't care about her image. She rolled up her sleeves and said to Xu Haoyuan: "Since she is a heroine, my sister's martial arts must not be weak. It just so happens that my sister has also learned some martial arts. Why don't we give it a try?" So I can let my sister give me some guidance?"
Han Qin's savage appearance now is completely different from just now.
Xu Haoyuan stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation and said, "Since my sister said so, it would be better for me to obey my order."
Is this a fight? Zhang Ren was panicking now. He immediately stopped in front of the two of them and said, "It's not good to fight too much. It can easily damage the harmony."
The two women turned a deaf ear to Zhang Ren's words. Their eyes met, and electric sparks seemed to occur again.
Zhang Ren immediately said to Han Qin: "County Lord! Auntie! If you have a problem, your Majesty, why don't you chop me up alive? We don't need to compete. Let's sit down and drink tea."
However, Han Qin raised his eyebrows and said: "Zhang Ren, please stand up for me. I have never been afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting! All the nobles in Jinling have been beaten by me. I want to see the people in the world today." What is the quality of a heroine?"
Zhang Ren wants to cry but has no tears. My aunt, with your three-legged cat martial arts, you can only beat the noble children. If you leave Jinling City and abandon the protection of your identity, you can beat any second- or third-rate person in the world. Can't beat it.
Just when Zhang Ren was about to persuade him again, Xu Haoyuan also said, "What a coincidence, I've never been afraid of fighting."
Night rivers and lakes.
