Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tenkyo Chapter 78 Shortcomings, Transactions, People and Ghosts
At this moment, in the General Soldier's Mansion, everyone who followed Guo Yi out during the day had eaten and went back to the house early to rest.
Xu An was no exception, he returned to the hut, and after confirming that the doors and windows had been closed, he took out a pen and paper and began to write: Uncle, Guo Yi has been doing a lot recently, and today he asked me about Jinli Firm, and I told the truth......
And outside Xu An's window, Pei Man didn't know how he came here, there was no footsteps, he walked to the door gently, closed his eyes, and heard the rustling sound in the room like silkworms biting mulberry leaves, and the corners of his mouth curled.
He stood up straight, knocked on the door, and said, "General Xu, do you want to take a bath, hot water has been prepared." ”
Pei Man has heard well, so he can naturally hear the sound of the paper being collected in the house, Xu An's voice was a little panicked, and said: "Steward Pei, I have already rested, so I won't wash it, you keep it for the adult." ”
"Then I'll step aside." After speaking, Pei Man turned around and left, didn't he deliberately cover up the footsteps this time, Xu An in the house heard his footsteps go away, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He tore up the crumpled letter in his hand and threw it into the charcoal basin. After reconfirming that the doors and windows were closed, he began to write again, but the content of the letter was exactly the same as the one he had just written.
Pei Man walked to the front hall, just as Wen Kang sent Guo Yi back, he naturally asked his subordinates to bring Guo Yi in first, and he sent Wen Kang out again.
When he sent Wen Kang away and returned to the mansion, he saw Guo Yi waiting for him.
When he saw that there was no one around, he said, "Something?" ”
"I'm going to do business."
"With whom?"
"Jinli Firm."
Pei Man's eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he asked again, "What business are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to raise an army for the Jinli Firm." Guo Yi may have drunk wine, and when he spoke, the volume was not small.
When Pei Man heard this, he hurriedly looked around again, saw that there was no one around, and said, "You go to the bathroom first, the hot water has been prepared for you." As he spoke, he glanced at Guo Yi.
Guo Yi reacted slightly, and immediately said, "Okay, I'll go over now." With that, he got up and went to the bathroom.
In the bathroom, Guo Yi leaned against the long hot brick on the wall of the bath, feeling the warmth seeping into her body through the temperature. His eyes were closed, and he seemed to be asleep, but his wrists were turning, as if he were using some kind of weapon.
The bathroom door opened gently, Pei Man walked in, he looked at Guo Yi in the bath, sat down on the coffee table next to him, and said, "The wine is awake?" ”
"I'm not drunk, where do you wake up?" Guo Yi still didn't open his eyes.
"Let me tell you one thing first," Pei Man poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Xu An is still sending a message to Xu De, and it seems that there are already their people in this general soldier's mansion." ”
Guo Yi's tightly closed eyes opened instantly, and he said, "How do you know." ”
Pei Man pointed to his ears, and Guo Yi closed his eyes again. He believed in Pei Man, or rather, in Pei Man's ears. There, Pei Man's ears are called chasing the wind.
"Well, I thought he was already mine."
After all, his surname is Xu, and after his death and death, he is still surnamed Xu. I think that's your biggest problem, it's too easy to trust a person. ”
Guo Yi didn't speak, even though he knew it was indeed his biggest problem.
"Tell me about the business you're going to do."
"I'm going to raise an army for the Jinli Firm."
"I know this, what I want to know is what you're going to do."
"Use the money of the Jinli Firm to raise an army in my hands."
When Pei Man heard this, he was stunned, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, the tea in the cup was still warm.
"You're not going to return this army to the Jinli Firm, do you?" Pei Man stopped Guo Yi's words and spoke.
"Yes."
"Have you considered the consequences of this?" Pei Man frowned: "You train the army for the people of Shangjia, this is the crime of killing the head." The emperor can't kill you, but Xu De knows about it, I'm afraid he wants to kill you. ”
"As long as you don't let them know, it's done."
"If you forcibly hold down the command of this army, you will not be able to prevent the Jinli Trading Company from being destroyed."
"But I already had an army at that time."
"Yuhuzi also has an army, and it has it now, and it is not weak."
"Whatever." Guo Yi buried his head in the bath, raised his head again in about half a pillar of incense, opened his mouth and breathed heavily, until his breathing was stable, he said: "This time I bet, and I am willing to cooperate with you." ”
Pei Man's eyes lit up and asked, "Master, is this true?" ”
"Don't call me master, just the two of us, I listen awkwardly. I also agree to your cooperation. ”
"Then the transaction you want to do, we will fully support you, as long as you can set up a big banner in the Northland, what you have to do, we will help you."
"Let's go, I'll be alone for a while." Guo Yi said loudly.
Pei Man got Guo Yi's reply, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, so he respectfully retreated.
Guo Yi saw Pei Man retreat and buried his head in the water again.
Xu An finished writing the secret letter and sent it out, seeing that it was still early, he simply walked around the General Soldier's Mansion.
There are many things he can't understand, not as good as Xu De's letter, such as Guo Yi's actions. These things give him a headache.
At this moment, he walked in the General Soldier's Mansion and felt the enormity of this building, and he did not raise a lamp, but walked through the path in the mansion by the moonlight.
Suddenly, he heard a slight sob. He thought he had misheard, and after taking two steps, he vaguely heard it again, although the sound was small, but it was enough to make people creep - at night, where did the woman from the general soldier's mansion cry.
Xu An originally wanted to relax his mood, but he unexpectedly bumped into this incident. He suddenly remembered what Xue Zhu said when he bragged, Ma Dahai had killed many women in this general soldier's mansion, could it be a woman who died unexpectedly, and her soul never dispersed?
The hairs on Xu An's back stood up, but he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, he grabbed the dagger on his waist with his backhand, and followed the sound in the direction where the cry came from.
The cry came from a small attic in the backyard, where no one came during the day, and it was even more eerie at night. Although there are many more veterans in the backyard of the house these days, the atmosphere of this attic is not the same at all.
The cry gradually became clear, Xu An pulled out the dagger with his backhand, put it on his waist, and went to the back of the attic, across a corner, Xu An was already able to hear the cry very clearly, and there was faintly some fire light from the corner. Xu An suddenly remembered the ghost fire that Xue Zhu had said.
Xu An stayed in this corner for a while, but saw that the crying never had the momentum to stop, gritted his teeth, drilled out of the corner, and said: "Where is the demon here?" ”
When Xu An shouted this sentence, he regretted it in his heart, behind this attic, how could there be any female ghosts, it turned out that Li Qingzhen was wearing a white dress and burning paper here. Come to think of it, there should be some people who want to use tiger wood.
For Xu An, who suddenly broke out and shouted, Li Qingzhen was taken aback. She was stunned for a moment, quickly threw the last few pieces of paper into the fire, got up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and said in a low voice: "It turned out to be General Xu, I thought of Ah Zhuo's father to burn some paper, and I will leave." "I want to leave.
Xu An put away the dagger and hurriedly apologized: "It's me who is not good, the gods are chattering, and I disturbed Madame." ”
"What do you call me?" Li Qingzhen turned around and asked, under the moonlight, her red eyes were particularly pitiful.
Xu An was stunned by this look, and after a while, he realized that he had lost his temper and whispered, "Ah Wei." ”
Li Qingzhen looked at him and said, "I know from Ah Zhuo's mouth that you will go to the Black Wolf Army tomorrow." ”
"Yes, I'm going to see the situation of the Black Wolf Army tomorrow."
"Then General Xu should rest early, and please treat the Black Wolf Army well." Li Qingzhen said this, turned around, almost ran away, and left in a hurry.
Xu An's eyes crossed the fire still burning on the ground, chased the slender back, and muttered, "Ahh Immediately, he came back to his senses, saw the fire on the ground that had not been extinguished, and suddenly gave himself a slap in the face, and the sound echoed in the small space behind the attic.
Xu An turned around and went to his residence.
