The two men in black were Zhao's secret guards, sent to monitor Shen Li. They were discovered on their first day. It just so happened that Banxia had been pestering Qiluo and Gulu to teach her martial arts, so they decided to capture the men in black and use them as sitting ducks for Banxia.

I guess those two people wanted to die.

Every day, no matter what time it was, as long as the little ancestor carrying the stick wanted to practice, he would take them both out and beat them up.

Growing up, they had never seen a girl with so much energy. She got up before dawn, dragged them out and beat them up.

Why is it pulling?

Because Banxia said not to let them run away, she would take some muscle softening powder from Qiluo and feed it to them every day, and then tie them up with ropes behind their backs, and they must not be allowed to come out with the ropes pulled.

Practicing day and night, the two men in black were almost breaking their bones. Banxia's kung fu improved by leaps and bounds. With these two sparring partners, she didn't even go out for a stroll.

Seeing Xiao Chenze follow Shen Li into the house, Banxia turned around and said to Qiluo, "Come on, keep fighting."

Qiluo murmured towards the room, "It's so late, how can a man from outside enter a girl's room?"

Banxia said indifferently, "Hey, don't worry, Zisu is very thoughtful and will not let the girl suffer any loss."

Zi Su, who was praised for being thoughtful, was staring at Xiao Chenze warily, hesitating whether to serve him tea.

Then Shen Li said, "You came to see me so late, it must be something important, right?"

She didn't talk too much or beat around the bush. If she had something to say, she would just say it. If she didn't, she would just leave.

Xiao Chenze glanced at Zisu, who stiffened and said, "I won't go out."

Shen Li waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, she's mine, she's reliable."

Shisu straightened her back, very proud.

Xiao Chenze said, "Secret report from the border: your uncle's eldest cousin is a spy. There's both witnesses and physical evidence. They say he's been arrested and is under close surveillance. The report should have been sent to the Ministry of War, but for some reason it was sent directly to the Emperor. The Emperor just read it and kept it secret..."

Shen Li suddenly remembered what Zhao and Shen Zhaojiang had said.

The Chongguo Mansion and the Queen joined forces with their insiders in the Western Frontier to set up a trap to frame my uncle.

It seems that the Western Frontier side took action as soon as they received the letter. Who knows if the Second Prince changed his mind and wanted to marry her?

It’s better not to know, because the secret letter arrived soon.

After Xiao Chenze finished speaking, he saw that Shen Li was not nervous at all, raised his eyebrows, and said belatedly, "You...you don't know something, do you?"

Shen Li quickly shook her head and said to him, "I don't know anything. Fortunately, the eldest prince reminded me. Thank you very much."

"No, you must know something, otherwise you wouldn't react like this."

"Then how should I react? You already said that the secret letter just arrived and the emperor just opened it and took a look. Even you just got the news. I haven't been anywhere here, so what can I know?"

Xiao Chenze looked at her suspiciously, feeling that something was not right.

"Such a serious matter, if it is confirmed, your family will be confiscated and your entire clan will be exterminated. Aren't you afraid at all?"

"Afraid? Of course I'm afraid." Shen Li raised her face and tried to imagine what kind of action she would take if she was scared. She couldn't think of it after thinking for a long time.

There is no word "fear" in her dictionary.

When going on a mission, everyone is walking on the edge of a knife. Whoever gets scared first will fall.

"Okay, stop pretending," Xiao Chenze was sure that something was wrong with Shen Li, and he pointed it out to her directly, "You can't even pretend, it shows that you know the truth about this matter. This is your fault. I came to tell you out of kindness, but you hid it from me. My heart hurts so much."

Zi Su's eyes were almost rolling to the top of her head.

A prince ran to these girls to seek fairness. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, goosebumps all over the floor.

Shen Li looked at the beams. "Since you know this is not a good thing, selling military secrets and having your family confiscated and your clan exterminated are the least of your punishment, why did you come to tell me? If my cousin is a spy, then he's selling your Xiao family's kingdom. Shouldn't you hate him so much that you want to tear him into pieces?"

Xiao Chenze's expression straightened, and he said to Shen Li, "I have to explain this to you. Not to mention that the person who delivered the secret letter was from the Duke of Chongguo's Mansion, even if someone else delivered the letter, I would not believe that your uncle's son would be a spy who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country."

Shen Li raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Do you trust my uncle so much?"

"Of course," Xiao Chenze said seriously, "I grew up by my grandfather's side. The people he trusted most were General Fang and General Fang, and he praised your two cousins ​​highly. They had both served under my grandfather, and he said that the Fang family's loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were ingrained in their bones. How could such people be spies? I don't believe it. It goes without saying that this must have been done by the Queen's gang again. Your uncle can't be used by them, so they naturally have to find a way to completely eliminate him. Keeping him around is a source of worry for them and their greatest threat."

……

"Ah, ah!" Two screams suddenly came from outside. Xiao Chenze didn't even frown. He just asked curiously, "Who are those two people? How did you catch them?"

Shen Li did not hide it from him, "Mrs. Wen left it to Zhao and asked them to come and monitor me. They suffered such a big loss this time, they must hate me to death."

Xiao Chenze chuckled and shook his head.

These idiots still don't understand Shen Li's true capabilities. They only sent two secret guards to try to find out about her, but they didn't realize the remaining secret guards had become sitting ducks. Just wait, Shen Li will definitely send the secret guards' bodies to Madam Wen.

"Luckily your Jiaojiao Courtyard is remote. Otherwise, a fight at night would have alerted the people in the mansion. Aren't you afraid that Lord Shen would come and question you?"

"Don't be afraid. What is there to be afraid of?" Shen Li calmly picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

Just as she was about to put it down, an empty teacup was pushed in front of her. Xiao Chenze said, "Pour me a cup too."

Zi Su had just been sewing with her head down. When she heard this, she suddenly looked up and realized that she had forgotten to add more tea for the girl. She hurried forward to take it and reluctantly added more tea for Xiao Chenze.

Shen Li took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and continued, "In their eyes, we have never been quiet since we entered the mansion. At the beginning, they wanted to come over and make some trouble, but after failing to gain the upper hand several times, they became honest. Now, no matter how big the commotion in my corner courtyard is, they don't care. Besides, even if they do, they have to have something to use. My girl is learning kung fu to protect me. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Yes, definitely.

Xiao Chenze thought to himself, how dare they interfere?

If you don't handle it right, you'll either get beaten or have your legs broken. Who would dare to come?

This attitude of not fearing anyone doesn't seem like someone who grew up in a country farm.
