"Knock knock~"

"Empty~"

Li Zhang lay on the beam, knocked here and there, his face was full of puzzled expressions, the beam under him was very thick and strong, exuding a very good smell of pine, but when he measured this beam just now, he inadvertently found that a small section of this beam was empty, which was obviously different from the knocking sound in other places.

This discovery also made Li Zhang very curious, at the moment he stared at the beam of the house carefully observed, and finally found a rectangular trace on the beam, it seems that this piece of wood should have been completely taken out, hollowed out and then closed the wood on the surface, because the surrounding is tightly sealed, you can't see it if you don't look carefully, but the sound of tapping is obviously different.

At that moment, Li Zhang buckled a few times with his fingernails, but he couldn't buckle it at all, so he immediately got off the ladder, and then went to the kitchen to find a sharp knife and ran up again, in fact, it didn't matter what was inside, the important thing was that Li Zhang now had a kind of treasure hunting pleasure.

After getting on the beam again, Li Zhang inserted a sharp knife into the gap, and then easily pried open the rectangular lid outside, and it turned out that the inside was a small space, probably able to hold a mineral water bottle in the future, originally Li Zhang thought that there were gold and silver treasures hidden inside, but he didn't expect that there was a roll of white silk inside, which made him take it out with a puzzled face, and then opened it gently.

This white silk scroll is very thin, but the small volume is more than one meter wide after unfolding, what Li Zhang didn't expect is that on the white silk is actually a map, on which are drawn mountains, rivers, and some cities are distributed among them, and the city also uses words to annotate the strength of the troops in the city, as well as the distribution of defense, etc.

"This ...... This can't be a troop deployment map, right? Li Zhang was a little puzzled at first, but suddenly a spirit woke up, but this also made him startled, because no matter when, the deployment of troops is a national secret, but why does this kind of map appear on the beams of his house?

"Uncle Wu!" After Li Zhang reacted, he immediately jumped off the beam of the house and went to find Lu Wu, after all, such a big matter, you must find someone who understands this aspect to discuss, not to mention that Lu Wu is still an official person, even if it is just a small team leader, it is better than a flat-headed person like himself.

Lu Wu was teaching wild dogs to stand on a stake in a corner of the courtyard, and it was a little strange to see Li Zhang running in a panic, Li Zhang knew that the content on the white silk could not be known to too many people, so he immediately pulled Lu Wu back to the second floor, and then handed the white silk to him, but when Lu Wu saw the map on the white silk, his face also became iron-blue.

"Uncle Wu, the thing on this picture should be a military secret, right?" Li Zhang saw that Lu Wu's face was not good, and he asked cautiously at the moment.

"This is the military deployment map in the northwest Yanzhou, and it is also a top secret in the military department, but ......" Lu Wu gritted his teeth at this time, it was supposed to be a top-secret military deployment map, but it appeared here, and the only explanation was that someone leaked the secret, and it was probably done by people within the imperial court, which made him very annoyed.

"By the way, where did you get this thing?" Only then did Lu Wu suddenly remember a key question, and hurriedly asked at the moment, such a top-secret thing is not accessible to ordinary officials in the Ministry of War, how could Li Zhang have it?

"It's on the beam, I promised the wild dog yesterday to nail a bed to the beam, and I found it!" Li Zhang pointed to the beam above his head, but after hearing this, Lu Wu immediately turned over on the beam of the house, and after checking that there was nothing else in the hole where the map was installed, he jumped down.

"This map is very important, you don't have to worry about the next thing, but I suspect that this map has something to do with the family that was killed in the past, and there is also the master from last night, and the other party is likely to come for this thing!" Lu Wu deserves to be the leader of the team for many years, and immediately thought of last night's incident.

"The other party didn't find this map yesterday, so the other party should come back in the future, right?" Li Zhang also showed a nervous look when he said this, that person didn't even dare to say that he was better than the other party, it was their luck last night that scared the other party away, in case the other party was fierce next time he came, I'm afraid none of them would want to run.

"Don't worry, I'll lead someone to ambush around your yard tonight, and I won't stop until I catch the other party!" Lu Wu said and took the white silk into his arms, and then turned around and left, he didn't tell Li Zhang not to tell others about it, because he knew that with Li Zhang's temperament, he would definitely not talk nonsense.

Looking at the back of Lu Wu leaving, Li Zhang showed a confused look, because just now Lu Wu said that he would personally lead people to ambush around the courtyard, but such a big matter, shouldn't it be reported, Lu Wu, a small Xiangfu County leader, I'm afraid he doesn't have the right to meddle in such a big matter, right? But looking at Lu Wu's confident appearance, doesn't it look like he is telling a lie?

"What did you say to Lu Bantou, why did he leave in a hurry?" At this moment, the wild dog walked in from outside, and when he saw Li Zhang, he also asked with some confusion.

"Things are a little bad, let's sleep a little lighter these days, I'm afraid that thief from last night will come again!" Li Zhang did not answer the wild dog's words, but asked him to be vigilant with a solemn face.

The wild dog has a good habit, as long as Li Zhang is unwilling to say, he will no longer ask, and he nodded at the moment, and then Li Zhang did not let him practice martial arts again, but pulled him to help him add a bed to the beam, in fact, it is a bed, which is nothing more than laying a few planks on the beam, of course, it should be nailed stronger, and two protections were added next to it, so as not to accidentally fall down when the wild dog turned over.

The two of them worked all afternoon, and finally made the bed on the beam, and the wild dog excitedly brought his own futon up, and when the simple wooden bed was made on the futon, it finally looked decent, and the wild dog was lying on it and was reluctant to get up, speaking of which the wild dog was mature and calm in some ways, but in some ways it was more childish than the beans.

At dinner, Li Yonghe also came back from outside, compared to yesterday's weak heart, today he is full of red light, after coming back has been telling the raccoon dog how he praised his own braised meat how delicious it is outside today, and also invited some people to try it, there are a few hooks of the head of the class gave a deposit, let him bring a few catties of braised meat to sell tomorrow, because these hooks also provide some food, if the food is done well, it can also better retain guests.

It is precisely with this credit that Li Yonghe finally feels a little confident in this family, and he talks more when he eats, he mixes in the market all the year round, knows a lot of anecdotes, and his eloquence is also good, so they also like to listen to him, and after a meal, Li Yonghe has also been recognized by more people, and the raccoon dog is also a little more intimate with him.

Li Zhang has been thinking about the map when he is eating, Lu Wu has said before that he wants to bring people, but now that it is dark, he still hasn't seen a figure, which makes him very worried, what if the black shadow comes back last night, what will they do?

However, just as Li Zhang and the others had just had dinner and were about to go upstairs to rest, the wild dog quietly pulled Li Zhang aside and whispered: "Lu Bantou, they have already come, and they are in the courtyard on our left." ”

"How do you know?" Li Zhang asked in surprise when he heard this, because the wild dog had not gone out after eating, if Lu Wu informed him, he should have known.

"What I heard, not only is he here, but there are more than a dozen helpers, and they should all be masters when they hear the footsteps!" The wild dog replied again.

Li Zhang only remembered at this time that the ears of the wild dog are extremely sensitive, and it is very simple for him to judge the identity of the other party from the footsteps, in fact, even ordinary people, as long as they are familiar with a person, they can also judge his identity from the footsteps, of course, ordinary people are definitely not as sensitive as the ears of wild dogs.

Knowing that Lu Wu was hiding in the courtyard next to him, Li Zhang was also relieved, and then he suddenly glanced at the wild dog a little strangely, and then said: "Didn't Uncle Wu already promise to teach you to practice martial arts, why do you still call him Lu Bantou, shouldn't you change your name to Master?" ”

"Lu Bantou said that although he could teach me martial arts, he refused to accept me as an apprentice, and I don't know why?" The wild dog said with a flat expression, his name is not important to him, as long as he can learn martial arts.

Li Zhang also felt a little strange when he heard this, but this was Lu Wu's private matter, and he couldn't say anything, but through this incident, Li Zhang felt that Lu Wu had a little more fog, which made him more and more unable to understand this elder who had been taking care of their brothers and sisters.

"By the way, there's another thing I want to ask you from last night?" At this moment, I suddenly saw that the wild dog seemed to think of something again, and spoke again.

"What's the matter?" When Li Zhang heard that it was last night, he couldn't help but show a solemn expression at the moment.

"Last night in the small building next to us, I heard a couple of men and women fighting, and finally the woman said, 'The slave family is going to die', I thought this woman was really killed, but today I saw that she was fine, and she didn't look injured, why is it?" The wild dog asked with a puzzled face at this time, the small buildings on the street are all close together, and he can directly shake hands with the other party when he opens the window on one side, so sometimes what happens next to him can't hide from his ears.

"This question ......" Li Zhang also showed a contemplative expression when he heard this, and after a while, he patted the wild dog's shoulder and said solemnly, "I don't know about this, so let's wait until the next time they fight again, you wake me up and let's listen together!" ”
