Shi Zairong paused for a moment, then closed his folding fan and said, "... shouldn't it be?"
Tang Chen kindly reminded him, "Don't forget what kind of person Xiahou Qing is. He's done a lot of sneaky things to make people disappear."
Shi Zairong covered his heart, which seemed to be in great pain, and said, "Don't scare me. I'm timid and can't stand being scared."
Tang Chen held up his chin and said with a smile: "We are friends now, tell me quickly, which baskets are your other eggs in? I'd be happy to help you think of a solution."
Shi Zairong said that your little tricks were a bit too naive to be used here. His eggs were the most expensive in South Vietnam and could not be easily disclosed. "This is confidential. I can't disclose it. Also, let me correct you. I just said that we are only barely friends until now."
Tang Chen slammed the table. This guy really couldn't properly elevate revolutionary friendship. Business aside, there was no gossip to be found. It was too boring. "Hong Yu, why are you so quiet? Hurry up and help me confront him. This guy has no gentlemanly manners at all!"
Hong Yu said with a smile, "No, it's quite interesting to listen to you two talking."
Qiu Liang nodded slightly, agreeing with Hong Yu's words, but his eyes suddenly shifted towards the window:
“…”
"What's wrong?" Tang Chen was about to finish his words when Qiu Liang's eyes choked him to death. Qing Liang dipped his tea in the cup and quickly wrote a few big words on the table: There is someone outside the house.
When their eyes met, Tang Chen quickly understood and said, "...Qiuliang, you've been in a daze and not talking. Could it be that you're thinking about Princess Fenglai? She's the legitimate princess, don't you dare to lust after someone else? Be careful if the King of Shu finds out. He'll not forgive you first, and he won't forgive your prince either."
Qiu Liang seemed a little annoyed and explained: "What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with her!"
Tang Chen followed his words and teased, "Oh, oh, oh, you're not happy after just a few words, Grand Tutor? If you don't believe me, ask Hong Yu. The two of them chase each other and hide from each other all day long, but they are a beautiful scenery in our palace."
After that, Hong Yu and Shi Zairong also joined the team teasing Qiu Liang. The people outside the house heard the sudden silence and then the sudden bustle inside, so they quickly put their ears against the wall, trying to listen more carefully to their words and the tone of their voices, so as to guess what they were secretly plotting.
However, the moment the room fell silent again, a piercing chill instantly seeped through the neck and into the bloodstream. The eavesdropper was about to turn around to see who was holding him hostage, but the slightest movement was enough to turn the chill in his neck into a sobering pain. "...Don't move. Watch your neck."
"Successful."
The three people inside heard the noise outside and immediately stood up, pushed the door open and walked out. Looking at the eavesdropping thief caught on the spot by Qiu Liang, not only was he wearing South Vietnamese clothing, but his entire demeanor was also very consistent with that of the South Vietnamese army. He didn't look like he had sneaked in just a few days ago.
Tang Chen lowered his head to observe the man and asked, "Grand Master, do you know this person?"
Shi Zairong frowned slightly, holding his forehead and thinking, "It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."
When this person heard Shi Zairong say that he had an impression of him, his eyes rolled and he hurriedly shouted: "Shi Zairong, I warn you not to touch me, I am the King of Sui's man!"
There were indeed many people under Xie Zhuangshui who were intentionally arranged by the King of Sui, so this person felt that his statement was perfect.
Shi Zairong seemed to be guided by his words and immediately said, "Can't you hold back and blow yourself up so soon? You should think before trying to sow discord. Don't be so careless. Do you think I will believe you just because you say that? You are so superficial."
After saying that, Shi Zairong called over the soldiers who were patrolling nearby. A short while later, Xie Zhuangshui and a group of people hurried over. After seeing Qiu Liang's men, Xie Zhuangshui asked in confusion, "Grandmaster, what's going on?"
Shi Zairong said expressionlessly, "This man eavesdropped on our conversation and spoke rudely. I wonder if the general knows him?"
After Xie Zhuangshui took a look at this person, he threw this seemingly hot potato to Xiao Liang: "...Go call the military advisor."
"yes."
Although Xie Zhuangshui was a high-ranking general, that didn't mean he knew everyone in the army. But Xiao Liang was different. He might not know everyone's appearance, but if he needed to find out about someone, he was the fastest and most accurate way.
After Xiao Liang arrived, in order to facilitate their work, Tang Chen, Qiu Liang and Hong Yu cooperated very well and returned to the guest room to wait.
Soon, Shi Zairong returned with the results. Seeing him return, Hong Yu was the first to ask, "So, is that person from Nanyue? Was he sent in by the King of Sui?"
Shi Zairong shook his head slightly and replied, "He was brought here by Ou Yezi, and he is indeed a soldier under Xie Zhuangshui."
Tang Chen asked curiously, "Then how are you going to deal with it?"
Shi Zairong said, "If something like this happens in the military, even if it's an unintentional mistake, it's a serious crime."
If the people Ou Yezi brought were like this, it would be easy to imagine that Ou Yezi also had ulterior motives. Ever since Wang Ruo explained why Ou Yezi turned to help Nanyue, Tang Chen's admiration for this gentleman remained the same. He didn't believe such a person would do such a despicable thing: "I don't think Ou Yezi is that kind of person."
Shi Zairong said, "Whether he is right or not, only he knows. But a cautious person like him, I believe, would not employ such a foolish person, so I still lean towards the King of Sui."
Hong Yu frowned slightly. She naturally had no interest in what happened in the court, but she knew quite a bit about Shi Zairong. "I heard that the Sui King and you didn't get along well in the Nanyue court?"
Shi Zairong added somewhat helplessly, "It's more than just that we don't get along. In the past year or so since I became the Grand Tutor, he's become a completely different person."
Tang Chen speculated: "Could it be because he also likes the young lady from the Huangfu family?"
“…Is there?”
Tang Chen's move can be regarded as a case of making a stunning debut without making a sound. Not long after Shi Zairong became the Grand Tutor, his marriage to Huangfu Huijue was announced to the world. It was also from this time that the King of Sui, who had had little interaction with him, suddenly turned all his guns on him.
