Chapter Twenty-Seven: Drugged

Lu Shaoyun has been stationed in Tongcheng Pass for many years, understanding the local topography and foreign customs, and after returning to Beijing, he took over the Waijin Wuwei and was in charge of the investigation and handling of the red and white pills in Beijing. When it comes to how to solve the problem www.biquge.info of "planting spies", the most suitable person is Lu Shaoyun.

Lu Shaoyun's initial idea was that if he wanted not to be regarded as a "stranger" by the villagers of Naming Village, the best way was to disguise himself as a Han merchant who was a businessman, and use the Rong caravan from outside the Guanxi to stay in the capital for a month and a half to deal with the caravan people, and then go to Guanwai with them when they left Beijing, so that he could be accepted by the villagers who ran merchants in Naming Village. However, there are two problems with this method: first, the Rong caravan arrives in the capital in April, stays in the capital for a month and a half, and then leaves. Lu Shaoyun couldn't guarantee that he would be able to gain their trust in just a month and a half. Second, disguised as a businessman, he must go to business, so that Lu Shaoyun could not stay in Naming Village for a long time to investigate the Qiuzi Mountains, which was also not conducive to him infiltrating the enemy camp and stealing maps. Therefore, Lu Shaoyun's initial idea actually has a big loophole.

However, when Lu Shaoyun nested in Xia Shuanghan's boudoir for a night, he thought of a solution, which could completely make up for the two major loopholes in his original plan. So, just like that, in the early morning of the seventh day of the third lunar month, Lu Shaoyun left Shuanghe Lane refreshed and returned to the Guogong Mansion with a happy face.

In the face of her son's escape and not returning at night, Xu Shi was worried and reflected, although she did not believe Lu Shaoyun's answer that "I found an inn to stay overnight last night", but she decided to remain silent. First, only a few people know about Lu Shaoyun's non-return at night, and if it makes a big fuss, it will anger Lu Guogong, after all, the way of drugging is too bad in Lu Xiaoqing's opinion. Second, if Lu Shaoyun doesn't want to touch a woman, let him first, after all, why should the tip of the needle be on Mai Mang? It's not beautiful to be in a hurry.

So, after Lu Shaoyun returned to the Gongfu to wash and change clothes and have breakfast, he went out of the house smoothly, and went to the Jinwuwei Yamen with the dark green on his forehead that had not yet been cleaned. At the end of the day, because of the bruises on his forehead, Lu Shaoyun gained countless whispers and sneaky peeps, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty made fun of him about this matter.

"Ting Xuan, what kind of master did you meet last night, and you would be beaten like this?" At dusk, in the Prince's East Palace, the twenty-three-year-old Prince Ouyang Han looked at the bruises on Lu Shaoyun's forehead, and decided to solve the doubts in his heart before talking about business. "I didn't hear that Jin Wuwei has recently entered a newcomer with strong martial arts!"

"This wound was not beaten." Lu Shaoyun's face did not change, and he lied without a beat: "The last general was drunk last night and accidentally bumped into it. ”

"It doesn't look like it." Ouyang Han raised his eyebrows playfully as he said and said: "Lone Ke heard that you didn't return last night, and your mother sent someone to ask Zhuo Feifei, Lin Xiran and Zeng Keying one by one in order to find you, but the result was that the search was fruitless!" ”

"The last general just made do with the inn for one night."

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, Lone won't ask." Ouyang Han decided that he couldn't ask the result, so he turned the topic to the main matter: "Some time ago, Gu asked you to think about countermeasures, have you thought about it?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general vaguely has a countermeasure in his heart, but he doesn't know whether it is feasible or not."

"Whether it's feasible or not, just say it first." Ouyang Han laughed sarcastically: "After all, I've already heard a lot of ideas about fire attacks, choking on smoke, and blowing up the ground, so I don't mind hearing a few more." ”

"Yes." Lu Shaoyun said respectfully: "The idea of the last general is actually related to Xia Shuanghan, the fiancée of the last general's marriage since childhood. ”

"Women?" Ouyang Han raised his eyebrows in surprise, first thought of the beauty plan, and then thought about it that it was said that Xia Shuanghan broke his appearance in the fire and had nothing to do with the beauty, so he nodded silently and motioned for Lu Shaoyun to continue.

"The last general has repeatedly thought that the main reason why the spies we have planted have repeatedly failed is because they have not won the trust of the villagers of Naming Village outside Qiuzi Mountain. If our spies can be accepted by the whole village like the villagers, then they will naturally not be targeted by the sentries lurking in the village. However, it is impossible to cultivate a spy from the existing villagers of Naming Village, although nine out of ten of the villagers are good citizens and have nothing to do with the red and white pills, but we can't be sure if the person we have selected to train as a spy is the one of the few remaining exceptions. Therefore, if you can find someone who grew up in Kannai, has a clean net worth, and at the same time has a deep friendship with the villagers of Naming Village, then he will be the best candidate to be a spy. ”

"The last general's fiancée, Xia Shuanghan, was born and raised in the capital, and his father was Xia Hanlin, who had served in the court for many years. For her, the grandfather of the last general knew everything from the roots. Xia Shuanghan's mother was born outside the Guanwai Rong people, and before getting married, she traveled with her father and brother on the Silk Road all the year round, so she was very familiar with the Rong caravan in Naming Village. Xia Shuanghan has been influenced by her mother since she was a child, and she also gets along well with the Rong caravan from Naming Village, so if she enters the village, she will definitely not be rejected or suspected by the villagers. ”

"You mean you want to make her a spy?"

"Definitely." Lu Shaoyun denied: "Xia Shuanghan is now seventeen years old and has never received any training, it is too difficult to cultivate her into a useful spy in a short period of time. Moreover, a foreign girl who has reached the marriageable age but has not yet married, and has no defensible reason but refuses to leave Naming Village, even if she has Rong blood, it is estimated that she will not be suspected by the sentinels in the village. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"What does the last general mean ......" Lu Shaoyun told the plan with a righteous face: "At the beginning of this year, a fire on the night of the Lantern Festival almost made the princess family in the capital know that there was a marriage contract between the two families of Lu Xia, and the grandfather of the last general liked Miss Xia and wanted her to marry into the Dingguo Mansion as a granddaughter-in-law, but Miss Xia insisted on the concept of marriage of the Rong people, and did not take the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker in her eyes at all. Therefore, the last general thinks that he might as well act in a play, and play a play of 'the Guogong Mansion forcibly marries the daughter of the Xia family, and Xia Shuanghan elopes in anger'. ”

"Hahaha, Lu Tingxuan, Lu Tingxuan, I really don't know that you have so many crooked brains when you come back after staying at the border for a few years." Ouyang Han stroked his palm and laughed: "I understand what you mean!" What you mean is that on the surface, let the Dingguo Mansion handle the marriage between the two families of Lu Xia, but secretly, you disguised yourself as another identity to contact Xia Shuanghan, and on the day when the sedan chair greeted the door, you acted in a scene of elopement hand in hand. At that time, with the friendship between her and the villagers of Naming Village, and the reason to run away from relatives, the two of you can live in Naming Village for a long time without being suspected. Yes and no? ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise."

"Well, your idea is really worth a try, it's just, there are a few problems." Ouyang Han pondered: "First, Xia Shuanghan has not been trained, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in letting her participate in such a task. Second, no one in Beijing knows that Xia Hanlin loves his daughter as much as his life, and he, a father, may not agree to let his daughter leave the capital. Third, a woman's honor is as important as life, and she may not care if you let her escape from marriage, but she may not agree to pretend to be a husband and wife with you. After all, according to you, she may really plan to run away from marriage, but the lover is not you? Ouyang Han said this, squeezing his eyes playfully at Lu Shaoyun, with an expression of "It's not a big deal to watch the excitement".

"As for the second and third points raised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they need to be considered only if the first point is true." Lu Shaoyun forced himself to ignore Ouyang Han's ridicule, and continued: "As for the first point raised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general believes that as long as the eldest prince of the Lin family of the Zhongqin Bofu is hired to partner in a play first, he will be able to know whether Xia Shuanghan has enough qualifications and abilities to complete the task that the last general said." ”
