Chapter 403: Tacit Understanding
Master Wan couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the back in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The yard where the craftsman lives is quite remote, and few people will go there.
However, in the eyes of Master Wan right now, the person in front of him ...... But he knows it well.
Master Wan couldn't help but stop and stared at the man for a few seconds.
The squire walked some distance and turned his head to look at him for a moment.
Master Wan perked up and immediately followed.
The doubt in his heart has not been eliminated, and Master Wan said in his heart that the person is indeed a little incredible.
I heard that this group of attendants came to the mansion very late, so why are they so familiar with the terrain?
After all, their usual range of activities is concentrated in the place where the female officials live, and in addition to this, there are ...... The area around the Imperial Study.
...... I heard Ah Rong calling me in the courtyard: "Xiaolin, Xiaolin, Master Wan is back." ”
"Xiaolin, you come out!"
Ah Rong didn't see my figure, and couldn't help shouting again.
It's just such a little place, this guy is still shouting so loudly!
I complained silently in my heart, and then turned the fire down a little in a hurry.
I looked at the soup boiling on the stove and thought it was almost there.
Then, I looked up and looked into the courtyard.
...... Soon, I went out of the house and into the yard.
Master Wan came in behind an attendant.
I was looking at Master Wan, because I knew his intention to go to Lady Liu, so I naturally cared very much about the result.
Seeing that there were attendants following Master Wan, they came together, I think the matter should have been done, but Lady Liu may not be able to allow me to go with Master Wan and them, so I still care about the answer.
The person walking in front of me was focused on me from the moment he entered the courtyard.
I frowned and stared at him, his gaze uncomfortable, but I looked closely, making sure it was an unfamiliar face.
He must have been someone I didn't know.
Master Wan quickly made eye contact with me, and I understood his eyes, and it didn't seem to be a problem.
So, my focus was entirely on the squire.
I know that there are many attendants who come and go in the house.
Since I came with Master Wan, most of them were for going out to buy tools.
Think about how I discussed with Master Wan how to break up the people I went with me when the time came, and even the suitable shops in the town where I could stay...... I've listed them all carefully.
To be cautious, at this point, the people who accompanied me stood in front of me.
I think I'll have to deal with this squire as soon as I get out of the gate of the house...... When the time comes, I'll have to find a way to lure him away!
After thinking about it, I paid special attention to the squire.
He looked a few years older than me.
He was handsome, but only delicate, a big drop from the attendant I had seen in the courtyard who was good enough to be placed in the harem.
There was curiosity in his eyes, and there was a hint of inquiry.
Anyway, this person's eyes have been locked on me all the time, and there is no intention of shifting at all.
I can't figure out what made this person curious?
Because I look at the way he looks...... It seems complicated.
There was silence in the courtyard, and the situation was suddenly a bit deadlocked, but it was Master Wan who came forward to break the embarrassing atmosphere in front of him.
He quickly walked up to me, pointed at the attendant, looked at me in a gentle tone, and said, "Xiao Lin, he is the person sent by Lord Liu to go out with us. ”
I nodded, and the other person had no intention of speaking, with a similar expression to mine.
However, after Master Wan's interruption, he may have realized that it was not appropriate, and stopped looking at me like that, and finally looked away.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and later, I made eye contact with Ah Rong, and the guy gestured at me a few times.
I can see it, even Ah Rong can see that person is strange!
The attendant walked all the way to the car parked in the middle of the courtyard and began to look down at it.
At this time, Ah Rong glanced at me, and he had the heart to ask, so he stepped forward to talk to the man.
Master Wan gestured at me, and I understood.
Although the three people in the small courtyard have not known each other for a long time, we have a certain tacit understanding, especially in the face of the next situation that we need to cooperate with each other.
Tacit understanding can make things happen!
I walked with Master Wan to the side room.
From time to time, the sound of the attendant talking to Ah Rong came from the courtyard, and I could hear it clearly.
"You know this, have you ever been a craftsman before?"
Ah Rong glanced at him puzzled, and then asked the attendant, with a little hesitation in his tone.
Is this a joke with the other party?
I thought to myself.
The man replied succinctly: "I've only seen other people do things." ”
"Do you see something is wrong?"
Ah Rong just likes to ask.
Once the conversation is opened, this guy can keep asking and asking until he is satisfied.
If you don't want to change his subject or simply interrupt him, you may have to continue.
The man paused, and replied to Ah Rong again: "Just look at it a few times, you shouldn't be able to see it, do you think there is something wrong?" ”
Ah Rong was choked by his rhetorical question, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Of course something is wrong, this car has been going from the capital city to the present, there must be something wrong!" ”
Ah Rong took the initiative to point out to him: "Look here...... And here, it's all worn out. ”
"Lord Liu has instructed us to check carefully and repair the car properly."
Ah Rong naturally led the topic and said: "Look at this car, Lord Liu also talked about it last time...... We heard that Your Majesty and the National Teacher will soon go to the front-line camp. ”
"Do you know this?"
Ah Rong said a few words one after another, and this time he shifted the topic to the Northland battlefield.
...... I stood by the door and continued to look at it, and Master Wan reached out and tugged at my sleeve.
I turned to look at him, and the two of them walked over to the stove.
I pointed to the decoction brewed on the stove and said to Master Wan, "Master Wan, you can take this medicine again." ”
I explained to Master Wan: "Master Wan, I'll check the pulse for you, don't worry about the residual poison." ”
"Later, General Han didn't know if he had secretly investigated, so there shouldn't have been any more accidents in the camp, right?"
Hearing this, Master Wan picked up the decoction, drank it slowly, looked at me and lowered his voice: "Xiaolin, that person was sent by Lord Liu to follow us to the street." ”
"I know! You just hinted at it. ”
Master Wan's face was not very good-looking.
He was hesitant, as if he was struggling with whether to tell me the truth...... After thinking about it, Master Wan finally put down the bowl and made a few gestures to me again.
It means that the man seems to be ...... I understand his subtext.
"Master Wan, in fact, no matter who Master Liu sends to follow us out, it's all the same."
I looked at him and said in a calm tone, "Master Wan, since he is a person sent from above, of course he will keep an eye on us." ”
"Even if it's someone else."
Master Wan lowered his voice and said, "Xiaolin, I mean that person seems to be very curious about you, and asked me several times on the way." ”
I looked at him and asked, "What did he ask?" ”
"Xiaolin, he asked about your origin, if he asks you something after going out later, you have to answer carefully."
Master Wan reminded me.
I thought about it for a while, and my identity in front of me was the child of Doctor Wu over there in Nanhua Town, so it seemed that there would be no problem for the time being.
There is a protective umbrella recommended by General Han, and ordinary people will not find faults.
What's more, the man's identity was just an acolyte, and he only temporarily represented the meaning of the overseer.
If you want to get to the bottom of me, I don't think it's necessary!
For the people in the house, I was just a junior apprentice working under Master Wan.
How so...... It's like a handyman.
I'm not an attendant on the side of the empress or any female official, and they shouldn't be so curious about me.
As for what Master Wan mentioned to me, I guess the person asked about it...... Because I want to follow Master Wan for a while, I have to take me out, so I just want to ask.
I don't really care.
I looked at Master Wan and smiled, "If he wants to ask, I'll answer him." ”
"It's a craftsman's business, Master Wan...... You can help me round up a little then. ”
Hearing this, Master Wan looked at me and said, "Well, he asked me before, I only shirked that you were the person selected by General Han." ”
"I didn't say anything else to him."
I nodded at him and said, "Yes, that's the best answer." ”
"I can't find anything wrong."
"Besides, we didn't tell a lie, the person was indeed picked by General Han."
It was his very capable subordinate Chen Xiang who personally escorted us to Beidi Town.
Chen Xiang ...... I have dealt with female officers.
The attendants are also under Lady Liu.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
Master Wan instructed me again: "Xiaolin, when we get to the street in a while, if that person is not good at talking, don't try to lure him away." ”
I looked at him in amazement and asked, "Do you have any other ideas?" ”
Master Wan said in a gentle tone: "Xiaolin, if he is not good at talking, then I will think of other ways to avoid him becoming suspicious." ”
"Okay, Master Wan, you can do it, just mention it to me when the time comes, I understand."
"Xiaolin, let's discuss it again......"
...... After a short while, Master Wan and I walked out of the house.
The attendant was still looking down from the side of the car.
I saw that his concentration level was not lost at all to Ah Rong when he bet with me yesterday, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange in my heart.
Ah Rong is angry and to prove to me that he has the ability.
The question is, how can the attendant in front of him also have the feeling that he is an expert watching the doorway!
Could it be that Ah Rong's unintentional words just now revealed the truth?
I can't help but think: Is that person really also a craftsman?!
It seems like...... That possibility is not ruled out.
Think about Ah Rong and Master Wan, they didn't start in the barracks, and they also had past life experiences.
For example, Ah Rong, he learned from the master craftsmen in the village...... Those details, if others don't ask, they won't know.
I looked at him a few more times, and a question mark flashed in my heart!
Fortunately, under the gaze of several pairs of eyes of several people, he may also feel it.
So he quickly raised his head and looked at Master Wan.
The squire's gaze swept over me as I stood aside.
I discussed it with Master Wan, and he will still speak at this time.
Master Wan glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "Without further ado, we can go!" ”
"Since Lord Liu said that let's come back early, don't delay."
...... The moment I walked out of the courtyard, Ah Rong rushed up and grabbed my sleeve and whispered, "Xiaolin, don't forget...... Let's say yes. ”
I glanced at him helplessly, this guy never forgot to remind me to bring food back, so I had to nod to him and say, "Don't worry, I won't forget." ”
...... Master Wan walked outside the courtyard, looked at the attendant and asked, "Why don't we take the path and go out through the side door?" ”
The attendant nodded at him and said, "Okay." ”
Master Wan shouted in the direction of the door: "Ah Rong, you are worried about that bit of food, why don't you hurry up and let Xiao Lin follow?!" ”
Ah Rong reluctantly let go, I patted my sleeve, walked a few steps and looked back at him with a faint smile.
...... Master Wan paused again at the fork in the courtyard of the house, and then walked around the south side of the courtyard where we lived.
As I walked through the woods, I suddenly paid attention to the details, and it seemed that the squire who was walking with us glanced into the depths of the forest.
In the order of our walking, Master Wan walked at the front, the attendant followed behind him, and I followed last.
He didn't see a casual look, Master Wan didn't see it, but I saw it clearly.
Especially when there was a strange sound in the woods, I looked out of it!
However, the sound was only once, and it was never repeated.
In retrospect, it looks like someone sent a signal.
I stood alone outside the forest and stopped, my eyes following the direction of the voice for a few seconds.
Before long, I turned my head in confusion.
I'm pretty sure there must be someone in the depths of the woods.
The sound was still coming from above.
Is the man hiding in a tree?
...... Master Wan turned his head to look at me and beckoned, "Xiaolin, keep up!" ”
"Master Wan," I had a vague hint of uneasiness, or a strange premonition, in my heart.
I couldn't help but ask a little apprehensively when I looked at Master Wan, "Master Wan, I passed by outside the woods just now...... Did you hear it? ”
Master Wan shook his head at me and said, "Xiaolin, no, oh, maybe ...... Probably the rumors. ”
The attendant who followed him, carrying me on his back, turned his head to look at me again.
This time, his eyes were completely different.
He looked me from head to toe, then turned around without saying a word!
