After Puyang Gu Sheng became a jade pendant, he was ready to take the money to the market to buy some fish, fruits, and vegetables, but when he arrived at the agricultural market, he found that all the fish, fruits, and vegetables in the market were sold out. He happened to see an old man and a girl cleaning up the stall, and it seemed that they were going to close the stall and leave. So he stepped forward to ask what was going on.

"Old man, at this time of year, there are still a lot of fish, meat, fruits and vegetables on the farm, why are they sold out so quickly today?" Puyang Gu Sheng asked gently.

"You may not know that the country of Mexico has already started a war with the country of Weiyang, and the people are worried that the war will affect our country of Yuhua, so they buy more food to prepare at home for emergencies. If you want to buy it, you have to go further afield. When the old man finished speaking, he put the little girl in the truck and pushed it away.

Puyang Gu Sheng knew the reason, but in order to buy fresh food for Murong Xiaoyue, he could only walk to the market farther away. When he returned to the inn with a large amount of food, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Why have you been here for so long, have you encountered anything on the way?" Zhuge Hanqing raised his head from the scroll and asked.

"Don't say it, there's really something important to tell you." Puyang Gu Sheng wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said.

"Really?" Zhuge Hanqing put down the scroll with a hint of curiosity.

"The country of Jimo and the country of Weiyang have officially been at war, and many people have begun to stock up on grain." Puyang Gu Sheng moved a blue bamboo stool and sat down.

"I was playing in the market a few days ago, and I didn't find anything unusual, so I didn't expect the war to start so soon." Zhuge Hanqing made a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Looking at your slightly excited look, you're going to war?" Puyang Gu Sheng looked up and drank the cup of tea and said jokingly.

"How dare you dare to be a soldier without the power to restrain the chicken, I just feel curious, two neighboring countries, soldiers meet each other, what kind of attitude will our court make?" Zhuge Hanqing stared out the window, and there were two purple birds standing on the eaves competing for a bug.

"I think it's time for my three friends to find out the news for us again." Puyang Gu Sheng picked up a blue banana fan and fanned the cool breeze comfortably.

"Your three hairs, one is a soldier of the garrison of the Nine Gates, one is a broker of the Fengyue Place, and the other is the chief secretary of the Yamen, the governor of the river, although they are lowly and small, but when they inquire about things, they seem to have a pair of ears that are tailwinding." Zhuge Hanqing thought of the three of them, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously.

"That's natural, when my family is not in decline, their family has not lost the benefits I have given. Also, I taught them all the words they knew one by one, of course, provided that they taught me how to catch crickets, how to catch fish, and how to roll dice. Puyang Gu Sheng recalled the "heroic martial arts" of the year with a beaming spirit, "Also, the last time I took you to meet them, didn't my amount of alcohol also deter them?" Also, if you hadn't asked me to return the money I won by throwing the dice to them, I wouldn't have to be my jade pendant today. ”

Puyang Gu Sheng suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, and quickly got up, saying that he was going to cook.

"Wait, you said you took the jade pendant away?" Zhuge Hanqing looked at him with a solemn expression.

"When we get to the top in the future, what is a piece of jade pendant?" said Puyang Gu Sheng as if he didn't care.

Although Puyang Gu Sheng said very chic, from his tone and expression, Zhuge Hanqing could clearly detect that he was also very reluctant and helpless.

"Well, we will definitely be able to redeem your ancestral jade pendant." Zhuge Hanqing looked at the back of Puyang Gu Sheng going downstairs and said firmly.

......

Chen Mo put on a hat with a black curtain and prepared to go out to run errands.

"Brother Zhuge , are you going to find them?" Puyang Gu Sheng suddenly asked.

"That's right."

"Why don't I go with you, I haven't seen them in a few days."

"You better stay, after all, Shentu Yuanba's backer is in Yancheng, you stay and take good care of Miss Murong, you know what I mean, right?"

"That's good, you go and come back quickly, this Yancheng has been too impetuous recently, so it's better to stay less outside."

Zhuge Hanqing bowed slightly, turned around and left the inn. When he arrived at the market, he found that the biggest difference from usual was that the patrol guards of the infantry commanding the yamen abounded.

It seems that the war between the two neighboring countries also caused slight turmoil to the imperial court......

Zhuge Hanqing came out of the inn, passed north through Jianning District and Anle District, and soon came to Chongwenmen.

A square-faced soldier with a dark face was looking at the people who came and went in and out of Chongwenmen with wide round eyes, and a figure in the distance suddenly caught his attention. Immediately, he turned to the soldier beside him and said, "I'll go and make it easier for me to watch the spot." ”

"Okay, go and get back quickly."

Three steps into two steps, he came to the woods not far away, and the man with the black curtain and hat followed him.

"Patrol adult, small one is for you." Yu Chi Benzhao hugged his palms and bowed, and said with a smile.

"There is no need to be formal, in addition to strengthening the patrol of the inner and outer cities, does the infantry commander Yamen have any other actions?" Zhuge Hanqing asked in a low voice.

"Now that neighboring countries are at war, theoretically speaking, the infantry commander Yamen should draw troops from all over Kyoto Yamen to improve their garrison capabilities, but the fact is that not only did the commander Yamen not draw troops from everywhere, but instead sent troops to Yamen villains all over Kyoto." Wei Chi Benzhao elaborated.

"How so? Once the outer city is unstable, how can the inner city be impregnable? Zhuge Hanqing was very surprised.

"Little ones don't know."

"Who gave the order to command the forces of the Yamen villains?"

"The infantry commander Yamen is under the control of the Ministry of War, and the secretary of the Ministry of War does not issue orders, and the commander of the Nine Gates does not dare to transfer troops privately."

"Then I see, is there anything else?"

"The little ones know so much."

"Well, thank you, there is new information to get in time."

Zhuge Hanqing took out a piece of ten taels of silver from the brocade bag and stuffed it into Wei Chi Benzhao's hand. Subsequently, the two left one after the other.

Zhuge Hanqing left Chongwenmen, took a carriage to Xishengmen in the outer city of Yancheng, entered Xishengmen, and then went a few miles to the east to reach the Yamen of the governor of the river. He got out of the car at the teahouse near the Yamen of the Governor of the River, and went up to the third floor, where a thin man with a figure-eight beard and high cheekbones had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Inspector Adult, the little one has greeted you." Ram Fang Xu got up and hugged his palms, and said with a smile.

"No formality, is there any new information?" Zhuge Hanqing waved his hand and asked the other party to sit down.

"Lord Hui, there is something happening, I don't know who secretly purchased a batch of high-grade armor-piercing arrows from Jiangnan, and went straight to the Ruijian Camp in Zuozhou and the Dongshan Camp in Fengzhou."

"In such a sensitive period, it is understandable that the tiger and wolf lion guarding Yancheng can buy some armor-piercing arrows."

"It is understandable to buy arrows at this time, but the commander of these two battalions was actually temporarily replaced."

"In such a sensitive period, how can the Lord be easily replaced? This is the hidden taboo of Gongwei Sheji! Who are they all replaced with? ”

"The list hasn't come down yet, if you guess correctly, it should be the second prince's person."

"It's the second prince again."

"Okay, I see, I'll come back with new information."

Zhuge Hanqing took out a piece of ten taels of silver, quietly stuffed it into the other party's hand, and then left the private room of the teahouse one after the other.
