Shen Hao left and soon disappeared into the alley where the restaurant was located.
Yang Shu didn't go for the time being, his face was gloomy, and he sipped with a wine glass.
The waiter and the shopkeeper of the side store didn't dare to speak at all. They often saw Yang Shu, but they never knew that the smiling man would be a prince!
After drinking a pot of wine for less than half, Yang Shucai got up and walked out of the restaurant. The gloom on his face disappeared again.
Just out of the alley, Yang Shu raised his hand. After a few breaths, two bodyguards in disguise came together.
"Your Highness."
"Don't be too far apart in the future. Follow closely."
"Ah? My subordinates understand."
Just now, the knife awn close at hand deeply hurt Yang bundle's nerve. In retrospect, Yang Shudu's scalp is still numb. He vowed never to let the bodyguard stay away from him again.
But at this time, Yang Shu also looked back. Before Shen, he should have been scaring him. Otherwise, there can be no gap between him and the other party and the distance between them, so that people have time to stop him. It is reasonable for him to be killed instantly on the spot.
It's a pretentious bluffing. At the same time, it's also a bodyguard expert who forces the commander to protect secretly.
Maybe Shen guessed my identity from the beginning? Yang Shu unconsciously thought so. Immediately more and more certain, there is a kind of impatience to be calculated.
Without the mood of continuing to stroll outside, Yang Shu went back to King Ling's house with his hands on his back. Without a carriage or a horse, he walked on both legs. Even if the road is far away, the bodyguard has long been used to it, and the pedestrians on the road don't think that the man who runs fast on the road with a gloomy face will be a prince.
Back home, Yang Shu drank a cup of tea and asked people to call Li Jiang, the head of his staff, to the study.
Not long after, Li Jiang opened the study door and came in. This man is in his fifties. His hair is gray. He is very knowledgeable and intelligent. However, because his ancestors had sinned against officials, he can't enter the official establishment. He can only travel to study and do business. Six years ago, Yang Shu took a fancy to the royal residence as an aide, and then promoted all the way to the post of chief of staff.
Unlike the officials in the system of the old Jing Dynasty, people like Li Jiang belong to the "private officials" of the royal palace. In fact, they are the same as the servants of the house, but they sound better.
However, we can't underestimate this kind of "private official". Once his loyal Prince inherits the unification, the private official is likely to become a regular official. There have been many examples of climbing to the peak of his official career after becoming a regular official in the temple.
"See your highness, I don't know what your highness is looking for?" Li Jiang also wondered why his highness came back just after noon. According to normal circumstances, he would not leave the house until the time of Haihe.
"I saw Shen Hao."
"Oh?! did your highness try him as we agreed before?"
"Of course. I'll get close to him first, and then mention song Zhizhou to clear up the past grievances. It's useless. The man is very mixed and cunning. He blocked all my words today." Yang Shu was angry and slapped a side tea table to pieces. Hold back.
"Blocked? Your highness, please tell me carefully."
Yang Shu was silent for a long time before he told the story of meeting Shen Hao in the small restaurant at noon.
After hearing this, Li Jiang frowned and said a moment later, "Your Highness, Shen Hao is really cunning. Even if he didn't expect your identity at first, he definitely guessed that your origin is not simple, so he won't talk to you or give you a chance to talk.
Then you mentioned "Song Zhizhou", which obviously stimulated Shen Hao, because he had a grudge against the Song family, and he was assassinated in the street not long ago, so it's reasonable to estimate your intention as "evil". But pulling a knife at you in the back is to hide his mind.
He is scaring you and the guard who secretly protects him. He knows that your identity is not simple, and he is in the imperial city. He will never draw a knife at you in a few words. Moreover, if he really wants to help you with his cultivation, he will never give others a chance to help.
Frightening you may be the second. His purpose is to force out the bodyguard who secretly protects him. This is putting pressure on you in a disguised form. "
Yang Shu nodded, as he speculated.
"Pang ban?"
"Yes, your highness. Shen Hao carries out the bodyguard of the commanding envoy Yamen in this way, which explains at least three problems. First, Shen Hao can't command the bodyguard from the commanding envoy Yamen. He can only show the bodyguard in this way, which shows that the bodyguard can follow Shen Hao secretly. In addition to protection, he can also monitor.
Second, Shen Hao is also telling his highness to "speak carefully". He doesn't want his highness to say something that may affect him, such as Xu yihouli.
Finally, Shen Hao is also conveying to you the meaning of "I can't help myself, please forgive me."
Yang Shu picked up his eyebrows after listening. He didn't think so deeply. Did Shen imply so much? But when you think about it, it's really possible. Secret way: I'm also a scholar. I'm really broken.
"Do you mean that Shen refused so simply because he couldn't help himself?"
"Your Highness, you are respectful to the virtuous corporal to contact Shen Hao. This heart of seeking talents is enough to move people. Shen Hao is only a hundred households. Where can you not be moved. But pangban sent someone to stare at him. How dare he show any friendly kindness to you?"
At the thought of Pang ban, Yang Shu was upset. It was really that the stones in the pit were smelly and hard. If Pang ban is really staring at the Shen, it's really troublesome.
"So what now? If Shen can't take it, it's really hard for the fat meat of the black flag camp." Yang Shu rubbed his eyebrows. He felt that everything has been bad recently, but time is getting more and more tense.
"In fact, your highness doesn't need to be so anxious. There has been a message from the moon shadow building that their people have pasted Shen Hao. If Pang ban stares at Shen Hao closely, we can approach Shen Hao from the channel of the moon shadow building, and my subordinates feel that this way has a higher probability of success."
"Yueying building..." Yang Shu took a deep breath and stood up from his chair. He unconsciously walked back and forth in the room. He said for a long time: "the people in Yueying building are restless recently. Such important things are all on them... It's not appropriate."
Li Jiang also did not deny the concern of King Ling. After a little thought, he said: "Your Highness can prepare with both hands. The moon shadow building can send tasks to them. At the same time, you can let the people who sneak in check. If there is any repetition, you can deal with it in time.
In addition, my subordinates think that although the moon shadow building is a little restless recently, its foundation is still in your hands. As long as your highness continues to hold their life gate, they can't let them go day and night. Your highness usually had better give priority to Huairou to them. After all, now the situation is imminent, and your highness can't let go of the power of the moon shadow building. "
