Below are the streets of traffic, and the moat is sparkling not far away.

At the moment when he appeared in the teahouse and sat opposite the man in blue, the old man had already changed into a neat shirt.

If it weren't for that, the well-decorated teahouse in the capital city might not have let him in.

The man in blue took a sip of tea slowly, tapped his fingers on the table, and said in a low tone to the old man who had been waiting for a long time to arrive: "Every two days, I want to go out." "You take care of the food yourself."

The man in blue explained: "I won't be going back to the house anytime soon, I will have to wait until the business is done." ”

"I came to you for this, lest you not find my man."

The old man who had just pinched the teacup with his hand was surprised when he heard this: "Where are you going?" ”

The old man's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of what he had been struggling with, he excitedly took the hand of the man in blue and asked, "Are you going to meet the little girl?" ”

The man in blue broke free from his hands without a trace, and slowly shook his head and said, "It's not to see her, it's to see someone else." “

The old man suddenly lowered his face, glared at him and said, "Someone else's business? Other people's affairs can also make you so concerned?! “

"When did you change your mind?"

"Although I didn't see her, I didn't go far to meet her." The man in blue said after taking a few sips of tea.

"Hey, what are you doing with me gasping for air, I won't finish the two sentences at once."

Finally it was good news, and he was a lot more relieved all of a sudden, and the old man stroked his beard happily and said, "You still have two days to go, right?" Before leaving, I'll prepare something, and you can help me bring it to the little girl. ”

"What to bring?" The man in blue asked.

When the old man's words came to his mouth, he had a heart to hide it, and he thought that something would be handed over to this black-hearted person. I definitely couldn't hide it, so I had to put down my mind and draw a few strokes on the table.

The man in blue watched his movements intently, then raised his eyes to look at the old man in surprise, and then smiled: "You trust me so much, you want me to bring it to her, aren't you afraid that I will swallow it myself?" "You won't." The old man said affirmatively.

The man in blue was silent, and looked at him coolly.

The old man couldn't figure out what this kid was planning. The drum beat in my heart. Anxiously said: "Do you really want to swallow it privately?" That's your little sister! Your little sister! "Don't worry, tease you." The man in blue leaned back to the chair behind him, looked at him amusedly and responded.

The old man's mind turned. Turning his neck and glancing at the table in the building, he poured a cup of tea for himself, raised his neck and poured it in one go, wiped his mouth after drinking and said, "How can you just drink tea." Hurry up and get something to eat. “

The old man snapped his fingers and said, "This teahouse looks not small, and it is open on such a lively street." I see that the business is quite good, and there must be a few refreshments that I can get my hands on. “

The man in blue moved the corners of his mouth, snapped his fingers, and saw Runtang happily welcoming him

Plum blossom cake. Chestnut shortbread and a plate of almond strips are all specialties of this teahouse in Sealand.

The old man ate the second half of the plate in one go. Like a whirlwind of clouds.

He repeated his previous request for a double, and then asked for the most expensive tea in the store. This time, he was eighty percent full, and he was no longer so urgent, but he saw him tasting tea with a tea cup.

After a small half cup of tea, he rolled his eyes and saw the coachman waiting at another table sitting alone, and pointed to him to the blue-clothed man: "What about him?" You take him with you? ”

The man in blue shook his head, and the old man said happily: "Just ask him to cook for me." ”

Listening to the tone of his voice, it seemed as if except for the man in blue, even his subordinates were definitely spare cooks!

But the person who said this looked like he took it for granted, and he didn't think there was anything wrong!

The blue-clothed man was displeased, and frowned: "He is not good at cooking, you definitely don't look down on his skills, not to mention that he will not stay in the house." ”

"Although I don't take him with me, I have other things for him to do."

"Master, it's going to be a festival here in Sealand soon," the blue-clothed man put down the teacup in his hand, gently put it on the table, and said to the old man in a soft tone, "You are always interested, you can follow the people here to join in the fun." ”

"I've heard that the Lantern Festival is a big event here every year."

Well, that sounds so appealing!

"It's a rare time for you to come to Sealand, don't you want to see it?"

The man in blue said that, and pushed the snack plate in the direction where the old man was sitting, so that it would be easier for him to get it.

The old man was stunned, snorted coldly, glanced at him angrily and said, "You kid has calculated me again, calling me to join in the fun, it must be no good thing!" "And found a bunch of reasons to come, are you so kind?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said in a rough voice: "I won't go, I'll stay in this city!" "I'm not going anywhere!" "Then if" the man in blue paused and continued, "If the little junior sister also goes, will you go?!" “

The old man listened to the words, and said with a sneering face: "If she really goes, I will definitely go to meet her." "By the way," he didn't dwell on the topic for too long, anyway, there were still a few days left in the Lantern Festival, "you can tell me where you are going." “

The man in blue reached out and drew a large circle on the table, then a small circle in the middle.

The old man's mouth opened wide, and then asked in a silent mouth, "Is it the palace?" “

The man in blue smiled and nodded. "You guessed it." "How are you going to get in?" The old man asked, "You also have such a great ability to stuff a big living person into Sealand's palace?" “

He thought for a while and said happily: "If you come early, maybe you can catch up with the palace maid draft, with your appearance, you can still fish in troubled waters and pretend to be a woman to mix." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he was satisfied to see that the man in blue had changed his face, his appearance had always been a taboo thing for him, and it was so refreshing to poke his sore feet in front of him, there was wood!

"But now, the yamen of the national capital has already sent the newly selected palace maid into the palace," the old man smacked his lips, "counting the days, you should have learned the rules." Distribute it everywhere. "At this time, you still want to go in, what else can you do?" Let's hear it. “

The man in blue's gaze stopped on his face, and then smiled: "Why do I need to sue you, in short, I have my own way." "Master, I'm not curious?" "You're too wide!" "You keep guessing, I'm done with what I'm going to confess, let's go."

The man in blue winked. The next table was always waiting, and the driver who had ordered half of the table to eat was bored, and the old man said hello and quickly followed. The two men soon disappeared.

The old man sat by the window of the teahouse, watched the two stinky boys disappear into the crowd on the street, and angrily took the plates on the table. Eat the rest of the dim sum in one go, pat the dim sum residue on your hand and leave.

At the door, the five big and three rough runners stopped him and said, "Old man, you haven't paid yet." How can you sneak away? “

The old man reluctantly paid the money and was just about to leave. The shopkeeper chased him out and demanded the debt. "You also paid for a table less, just now we saw that the guest at the next table called you, you must know each other!"

"That kid hasn't paid yet!"

The coachman followed the man in blue all the way to the alley. Shoes stomped on the ground.

The man in blue heard his apprehension, turned his head and asked, "What are you worried about?" “

The coachman said with a bitter face: "Lord, wait for your master to see me next time." I'm afraid I'll have to eat his lesson. “

If the initiator can't be beaten, it's very likely that the people around him will be angry! The coachman feels so wronged! "You'll leave later. I won't take a picture of him. “

The man in blue stopped, stood still looking at the coachman, stretched out his hand and scratched his face, and said with a smile: "Besides, your face is not what it is." ”

"What are you worried about!"

The man in blue patted his sleeves, looked up at the sky and said: "In the world, I dare not say anything else, when it comes to this means of disguise, if I call it second, who dares to say first?" ”

"The Lord has a point." The coachman hurriedly echoed

In the courtyard of the house, the man in blue sat under the tree and looked at his book as usual, as if he was not in a hurry at all.

The coachman got his hands on it, walked up to him under the tree, and whispered, "Lord, what else do you command?" “

The man in blue raised his head to look at him, stretched out his hand to roll up the booklet, and said with a smile: "On the way back just now, I remembered something, you rushed to the place where the troupe was stationed for me, and delivered a message to their class master." ”

"Wait a minute."

The man in blue turned back into the house, and soon came out, with an extra letter with undried ink, which he unfolded and blew before stuffing the letter into an envelope.

"It's better for you to do this, I haven't met anyone I want to meet, and I don't want to have direct contact with that troupe at the moment."

"After that, you can go, hurry up."

The coachman stretched out his hand to take it, and added a question: "Lord, do you need a token or a certificate?" ”

The man in blue shook his head and said, "No need, when the time comes, I will have my own explanation." ”

The small courtyard was quiet, and the man in blue walked to the side of the flowers and plants, picked a few leaves, gently rubbed them in his hands, and then scattered the fragments, and a faint smell of flowers and plants spread in the air.

His eyes looked deeply at the sky at the four corners above the small courtyard

The coachman was very quick and returned in less than an hour.

After he entered the door, he briefly described the process of receiving the letter to the man in blue.

After hearing this, the man in blue took out a token from his bosom and handed it to the coachman.

The coachman picked it up and looked at it, and said in surprise: "The lord wants to mobilize the men and horses of the secret guard?" "Isn't it enough for a few of us to stay here?" "The situation in the national capital city is more complicated than I originally expected, and besides, the festival is coming, not more manpower, I'm afraid that something will go wrong, you can go to the transfer, don't worry." "Before they come, do you remember to let me know, if there are variables, you still need to go north after this mission, remember?" "Remembered." "Let's go!" The man in blue waved his hand slowly, "The carriage parked at the door is for you, I don't need it." (To be continued)
