The black-faced man waved his hand, his face was still very dark, but his expression was much softened.

"Thank you, General, but I still have something to do, and I'm going to leave soon. Besides......" He paused, accentuating his tone. "When I meet you in the future, I can't let anyone know, not even your family. The stakes are too high to be overlooked. ”

"Whoa." The white-faced man bowed in greeting, but did not ask any more questions, and then ordered the orchid who was waiting outside to exit the courtyard.

The black-faced man said a few more words, got up to take his leave, and left through the side door.

The white-faced man was sent to the door, watched the black-faced man get into the car, ordered someone to close the door, turned around, and straightened his waist slightly. He slowly walked back into the courtyard with his hands in his hands, raised his head, and looked at the half-moon that was about to fall, his eyes were a little confused.

A tall orchid walked briskly over and bent over. "Master, can you sleep?"

"No need, it's gone." The white-faced man shook his sleeves and snorted: "Fake serious." What kind of virtue is he Zheng Qing, I don't know yet? It's just that he followed the prime minister, and he couldn't help but be a man with his tail up. Alas - to return, to return, how easy it is to say. ”

Orchid stood aside, a blank look on her face.

The white-faced man put his arm on the orchid's shoulder and pinched the orchid's towering breast. "He doesn't need it, Lao Tzu uses it himself. When I returned to Yizhou, I was not so comfortable. ”

Orchid took advantage of the situation, leaned closely, half-leaned and half-leaned, and walked towards the bedroom.

——

The carriage drove briskly through the streets, and as soon as it turned the corner, it slowed down. The door opened, and the black-faced man jumped down and walked briskly to the nearby dock. In the shadows, two bird calls rang out.

"Cuckoo, don't be surprised." The black-faced man shouted softly.

"Anmin, come here." Someone answered, the water rippled, and a small boat slid out silently and staggered to the shore. The black-faced man got into the boat, looked at the carriage that had gone far from the shore, and bent down into the cabin.

The boat swayed lightly and slid towards the opposite shore.

In the cabin sat a middle-aged Confucian student, of medium stature, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were quite smart. "Do you have a tail?"

"Yes, but it was dumped." The black-faced man said: "This Elfang is acting carelessly, I'm afraid something will happen, please think twice." ”

The middle-aged Confucian glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "I know very well who Elfang is, and the prime minister also knows very well. ”

The black-faced man was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Huh." It's a subordinate who is lying in vain. ”

The middle-aged Confucian waved his hand. "What else? Hurry up and say. ”

The black-faced man didn't dare to slack off, and told him how he met with Elfang, and finally when he talked about the place of pick-up, he wanted to say something about Elfang's arrangement for Orchid to be a waiter, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back and skipped this section.

As he spoke, the boat reached the opposite shore, and another identical boat sailed out of the darkness, and with the code, the black-faced man changed ships and sailed east. The middle-aged Confucian ship's boat turned around and headed west, quickly disappearing into the dark water.

A figure stood up in the darkness, looked east and then west, and scratched its head.

——

Cao Miao walked into Mrs. Sun's official mansion with her hands behind her back, walking in a square inch, and her movements were somewhat exaggerated.

Sun Qing greeted him and looked at Cao Miao twice. "What kind of happy event did Cao Jun encounter? It's a good mood. ”

Cao Miao laughed. "The sun is so bright and the air is so fresh, why are you in a bad mood? Hey, what's wrong with you, your eyes are like iron-eating beasts, and you're staying up late again? Be careful that the monthly letter is not adjusted, which will affect fertility in the future. ”

The corners of Sun Qing's mouth twitched, too lazy to talk to this madman. "Cao Jun, please come in, the princess is waiting for you."

Cao Miao answered, but his feet were still unhurried. He entered the house and saw that the map on the wall had changed. Sun Luban and Lu Hong stood in front of the map, holding a stack of papers in their hands, discussing something. Hearing his footsteps, Sun Luban turned his head to take a look, and immediately showed a bright smile on his face, and quickly greeted him.

"You're here."

"What's going on?" Cao Miao withdrew his gaze from the map, glanced at Sun Luban, frowned slightly, and then looked at Lu Hong again. Sun Luban, Lu Hong and Sun Qing were the same, their eyes were dark, their expressions were haggard, and they knew at a glance that they had just stayed up all night.

There must have been a major breakthrough, otherwise Sun Luban would not have worked so hard.

"The secret post arranged outside General Guiyi's Elfang Mansion has come to fruition. He's been in a relationship with an unidentified person, and it's not the first time. ”

"Have you found out who the other party is?"

"Nope." Lu Hong looked embarrassed and handed a page to Cao Miao. The other party was very cunning, first left in a car, and then changed boats. On the other side of the river, we changed boats again, and our men were lost. ”

Cao Miao looked at it, nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, turned around and walked to the map. Sun Luban walked over and stretched out his hand to point out the location of Elfang's residence. Cao Miao's gaze swept back and forth across the map, smacking his lips.

"When did Elfang settle here?"

Sun Qing thought for a moment. "It should have been more than two years."

"In this way, it will take at least two years for Elfang and Shu Han to restore contact. Check the personnel changes in Elfang's department in the past two years, and all the people who have a good relationship with him should check it. ”

Sun Qing was taken aback. "Before Elfang surrendered to Wu, he was the Taishou of Nanjun, and many of his subordinates were from Jingzhou, and many of them came out after returning to Wu, and they were distributed in different defense areas. If you check them all, it will take time and effort not to say anything, will it alarm him? ”

Cao Miao was puzzled. "Don't you have paperwork on file? How could it alarm him? ”

"Uh...... Not all of our documents are archived in Dawu, if it is an internal change of guard among Elfang's subordinates, there is no need to report to others, and there may not even be documents. Even if there are relevant documents, they may not be submitted in time, and they will wait for half a year or a year to report them uniformly. ”

"Is that laissez-faire? You don't know what they're going to do. ”

"This is basically the case within the generals." Sun Qing's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Cao Miao rolled her eyes and didn't say anything more. It's no wonder that Wu is the most prone to general rebellion, and the supervision was originally so lax. This is the consequence of Wu's special military system, which is not something he can solve, and he has no intention of solving it.

"Whose jurisdiction is the waters of this step?"

"Relieve the annoyance of the left battalion. However, the Zuo Battalion has recently dispatched a lot of manpower to ......" Sun Qing suddenly closed his mouth, and then said: "The number of patrols is not enough, the place close to the palace city will be tighter, and there will be loopholes far away from the palace city." ”

Cao Miao snorted, thought for a while, and said, "If it's convenient, I'll investigate on the spot." ”

Sun Qing and Lu Hong glanced at each other, pulled Sun Luban aside, and muttered a few words. Sun Qing went into the back hall, and Sun Luban walked back, looking embarrassed. "I have to ask my aunt about leaving the camp."
