Chapter 262: He's Better Than You

The loft is in a great location after the snow. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking out of the window, the scenery outside is indeed very beautiful, and all this ink words know.

However, Childe drew ...... But it's not a garden after the snow!

Following him, Mo Yan already knew that there were some things that he couldn't ask more.

If Childe was willing to say it, he would have told himself a long time ago.

What Mo Yan didn't understand was how could Gongzi be so interested when he arrived in Northland Town...... And the one waiting in the front yard......

The shopkeeper waiting in the front yard...... I don't know what he came for!

When will Childe have a connection with the shopkeeper of a calligraphy and painting shop in a small town?!

Mo Yan frowned and glanced at the front yard connected by the curved bridge, and his gaze swept over the empty promenade on the other side of the lake.

After a few moments, he lowered his eyelids and thought for a few moments before turning and walking upstairs.

Mo Yan didn't want to disturb his son, even if the other party didn't say it, he would try to avoid it.

Calculate the time, he thinks in his heart that the son is here...... I'm almost done!

...... The corridor was lonely, and there were very few attendants coming and going.

The empress was not in the house, so she took Gu Qimei, who was often on an errand in the imperial study and followed all the way to the north, to inspect the mountains early in the morning.

I don't know when the two of them will be back.

There are fewer soldiers in and out of the front yard today than on a normal day.

Because most of them came here to report the situation to the empress.

The Empress was not there, and the letters were piled up on the table in the study, waiting for her to be dealt with when she returned.

...... After a while, Mo Yan came out of the attic, his steps were gentle, but there were two more items on his body.

One of them was the scroll he held in his hand, which was the picture scroll that the national teacher had just completed.

When Mo Yan first received it and held it in his hand, the ink on the paper didn't look dry.

When he stayed in the attic, he deliberately held the scroll close to the charcoal stove in the room, intending to dry the paper while it was hot.

Unexpectedly, the person on the couch on the side put down the book in his hand and looked at him with a slight smile, and said lightly: "Don't bother, you can hand it over to the person waiting outside." ”

"He's better than you."

This sentence made Mo Yan lose his mind for a while.

After struggling for a while, Mo Yan had to blow it in a hurry, and then came down with the scroll.

However, considering the scroll in his hand, he still slowed down a little, and even deliberately waited on the side of the stairs for a while before taking it in his hand and coming down the stairs.

What he said to Childe didn't add up to a few sentences.

In fact, Mo Yan's heart is still doubtful.

This map looks like a topographical map of the Northlands, but why did Childe draw such a map and give it to the shopkeeper who delivered pen and paper to the town?!

When Mo Yan walked to the side of the corridor, he couldn't help but take out the map and look at it again.

At first, he thought that Childe was depicting a landscape, but he didn't expect it to be a map.

Mo Yan couldn't see any mystery in this picture, and besides, it was the most ordinary paper, and there was no special mark on it.

When he reached the room at the end of the corridor, he saw the shopkeeper who had been ordered to wait.

Mo Yan looked at the other party and found that the person was a typical ordinary person in the town.

When he saw clearly that the person who came did not look like a spy who stayed in the Northland, both in terms of temperament and eyes, Mo Yan had more questions in his heart!

...... Mo Yan's gaze fell on his face, and he could see the man's expression clearly.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly saluted Mo Yan respectfully, and handed over the things he brought with trepidation.

The guards on one side waited in the corner of the room.

Mo Yan stretched out his hand, and the man walked out with great interest.

Mo Yan is the person next to the National Teacher, as long as the National Teacher stays in the attic and does not go out, Mo Yan is often ordered to do things when he comes out, how dare the guards slack off!

Shao leaning, Mo Yan handed over the painting paper he brought to the shopkeeper, and told him a few words of the son's advice.

What made him different was that the shopkeeper who came didn't ask too much after listening to it, and even had very little curiosity in his eyes.

Before leaving, he said to Mo Yan: "Please tell the National Teacher that the picture from the last time was also bought quickly, and the small one was made according to the instructions." ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Mo Yan's eyes, but the things he had to do in his heart had to be explained clearly.

He glanced at him, and the previous conversation had made him so distracted that he had almost forgotten something else.

Mo Yan beat a drum in his heart, and hurriedly reached out and took out the porcelain bottle that Gongzi handed over to him in the attic from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Master Guoshi asked me to hand it over to you." ”

was already about to leave, and suddenly saw another thing handed by the person opposite, and the shopkeeper was a little flustered.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before reaching out and taking it.

But the bottle was turned over and over several times in his hand, and he saw that there was a wooden stopper on it that blocked the mouth of the bottle, and the shopkeeper quickly glanced at Mo Yan with suspicion in his eyes.

He definitely didn't think that Mo Yan also knew half of it in his heart.

However, what Yun Chu said to him in the attic can be said to the shopkeeper in the same way.

"Master Guoshi said," Mo Yan looked at him and said, "I heard that your shop also sells calligraphy and paintings, so you must know what's in the bottle, and you can use it when you go back." ”

The shopkeeper wanted to open the bottle immediately to see what was inside, but by his hand, it seemed that it contained a potion.

He didn't dare to ask more, so he only thanked him.

...... Mo Yan stood outside the room in the corridor, watching the guards take the shopkeeper away from the North Garden.

Listening to the tone of the man's voice earlier, it seemed that Childe had sent someone to deal with him.

Otherwise, how can you say that the last picture has been bought or something?

However, from the Sealand Palace to this day, Mo Yan has always been by the side of the child.

After thinking about it, Mo Yan felt that the only person who could be sent out to do this matter was the secret guard who had left the North Park and never seen his whereabouts again.

The Dark Guard is haunted and has a better chance of walking outside.

Their whereabouts have always been mysterious.

According to the time the man said, it seems that it has to be pushed forward.

It seems that Childe had a plan to deal with the situation here long before he arrived in the Northland.

According to Childe's style of acting, Mo Yan's heart was also a little curious at this moment, and he didn't know who the map that Childe had prepared was for whom.

The other party has already bought it?!

Could it be someone who is in the opposite camp with the empress? Thinking of this, Mo Yan shook his head secretly, and directly denied the conjecture in his heart, I'm afraid not!

Since that princess coveted the Northland, she would definitely send people to this area frequently over the years.

It would be too hasty to say that they would come here to buy maps before the war!

In this way, the object of purchase has to be guessed in a different direction.

Maps are often reserved for strangers who are anxious to know the details of the place.

Mo Yan's heart suddenly flashed the shadow of another group of people, could it be a ......

He stood still, his steps paused, and he looked at the frozen lake with a stunned expression.

Seeing the sun reflected on the bridge, Mo Yan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

Childe said that the person must be better than himself, and the bottle handed to him for him to pass on...... Mo Yan settled down, and still planned to find an opportunity to ask when he went back to the attic.

...... Upstairs in the town's house, the boy finished flipping through a stack of ledgers, put down the booklet in his hand and walked to the window.

He pushed open the window and looked out.

By this time, the sky was clear, and the snow on the streets had been cleared to both sides, revealing a clean and tidy road surface again.

The guards guarding the entrance of the town were sent out early in the morning to inspect them.

If there are suspicious pedestrians and vehicles at the entrance of the town, the news will be delivered back in time.

The young man pursed his lips, a worried look flashing across his face.

The officers of the Wang Division had been to the mansion and mentioned to him the manpower of the pioneer battalion, which was only a guess at present, but the young man did catch a few suspicious points from it.

To say that Wang Shi was in the last town, in order to recruit the manpower of the pioneer camp, it was really a little difficult, and a lot of notices were posted in the town.

When he and Xiaoling arrived in the town, they witnessed with the onlookers that there were many people watching the excitement at that time, but there were very few people who signed up.

The follow-up news came, saying that the empress was preparing in the town in advance...... Men are going to contribute to the Pioneer Battalion, and some people have already been recruited.

These messages were delivered in secret, as was the recruitment.

The men gathered in the town left the town and were sent to the Northland at about the same time as they left the town.

The young man pinched the window frame with his hand, and that night was the time when Xiaoling disappeared.

If you want to say that it's all a coincidence, it actually makes sense, but no matter how you think about Xiaoling's disappearance, you still feel that it's too strange.

Judging from his performance that night, the boy didn't think that he was planning to sneak away like Suzhou at that time.

There was no message left, not even anything taken with them.

Xiaoling, that guy, as early as when he wanted to go to the north alone, once took the people assigned to him from the house to the lively shops on the streets of Suzhou to prepare the things to be brought on the road.

He prepared carefully, leaving without anything, absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this, the boy's expression tensed even more, and he turned around and walked to the desk, sat down and thought carefully.

The next few things to do include going to the training ground of the Wang Shi Pioneer Camp to inquire about the news, maybe you will have to put people in.

There is indeed no manpower from the Yuwen family in the Pioneer Camp Novice Training Camp, let's see if one needs to be installed this time?

As for the terrain of the Northlands, he hoped to collect a more detailed map of the town.

The boy turned his gaze to the wall on one side of the room, looking at the map hanging above him.

That map looks like the terrain is drawn in a more general way, and it can't be compared with the map in the study in Suzhou.

However, the map of Suzhou is also the most detailed in the vicinity of Suzhou City, extending to a farther and wider extent, relatively speaking, it is not possible to do so detailed.

The boy himself has experienced this firsthand.

If he hadn't had the opportunity to go to the mountains with that guy from Xiaoling, he wouldn't have understood the deep mountains on the map that were only represented by blurred lines and color blocks.

If you don't go there, you won't know the complicated terrain over there.

The boy believes that he should be able to find what he is looking for in Northland.

Because the people who know the local terrain should live in the town or the nearby ones.

It seems that it is necessary to send an escort to search the town.

Thinking of this, the boy turned his head to look outside the house, and when he coughed, the guards heard it and came in.

"Young Master!"

The guards of the Yuwen family looked at him and asked, "What do you command?" ”

"Send someone around town," the boy paused before continuing, "looking for what I want......

The guard glanced at him and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what you're looking for?" ”

"That's ......"

...... After hearing this, the guard looked at the young man with an embarrassed expression, several of them were people from the Yuwen family who had stayed in Beidi Town all the year round.

Speaking of which, the number of times I have the opportunity to meet my little master is actually very small.

Because of its geographical location, there are a lot of business dealings with people of different races.

They have always exchanged news with the Yuwen family in Xilanan, but the young master they learned through various channels has a personality and way of doing things that are difficult to describe.

To say that what the rumors say is not an intuitive impression, for example, the person in front of him made a straightforward request, and he still made such an embarrassing request!

"Young master, I'm afraid that the detailed topographic map here in the Northland can only be found in the army."

The guard said boldly.

Not long after the officers of the Sealand Division's division had been to the house, if the little master of his house had a need, he should have mentioned it to him.

Could it be that even the maps in the army can't meet the requirements of the young master?

How do you find it!

The guard stood in the corner of the room, feeling the pressure on his shoulders increase invisibly.

Don't conjure up a map and give it to your little master!

He looked at the boy with a look of embarrassment, and for a moment he didn't know how to continue.

The young man turned his head to him, his gaze fixed on the guard's face for a moment, and then continued: "This is your attitude towards doing things, you haven't looked for it, how do you know if you can't find it?!" ”

He said in a cold tone: "The same thing, don't let me say it a second time!" ”

The guard agreed and stepped back quickly.

As soon as he walked outside the building and saw two companions coming up, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There is a task, we have to do it immediately." ”

The companion perked up and hurriedly asked, "The young master has an order, we finally have something to do." ”

"I'm afraid it's hard, do you know where to get a map in Northland?"

Several guards of the Yuwen family looked at each other and frowned, "It turns out that what the young master wants is a map here. ”

A companion chimed in, "Map...... But isn't there a ready-made one in the study? ”

As soon as the words fell, the guard immediately glanced at this one and said, "Why are you so blind, if the one in the study can do it, you still need a few of us to go out to find it?!" ”

He shook his head helplessly and continued: "The young master is naturally not satisfied, so he wants to find a more detailed map!" (To be continued.) )
