(Mu \ Disabled \ Literature \ Learning:) To walk through the crowd with humility and anxiety, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, he put on a set of coarse cloth clothes of the Han common people, and covered his face with a piece of uncloth. He was surrounded by a tumultuous hustle and bustle, with wagons laden with goods rumbling across the loess streets, vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes, pickled fish in white water, and boiled water mixed with sliced ginger and salt, and children running by with paper kites.

He turned a blind eye to all this, and hurried towards the "Xuanwu Pool" with his head down.

The "Xuanwu Pond" is actually just a small pond two miles square, and the water surface of the pond is often covered with straw, cloth scraps, food scraps, dirt, and occasionally a woman's menstrual belt. Under the big plane tree next to the pond, a stone tablet was erected, and the words "Xuanwu Pond" were written on it.

It is not known which dynasty or generation dug and built this small pond, and it is not known who gave it such a name. However, the residents near Zhumadian don't care about these things, Anyi is a place with scarce water, and they are lucky to have such a pond for bathing, washing clothes, and even cooking, and they don't care what the pond should be called.

Go to the pond under the locust tree and take a look around. On the left, two civilians are squatting and chatting at the root of a tree, and on the right, a group of children are happily digging earthworms; In the distance, the guys of a liquor store were scooping up the drinkers, and the sound of the blacksmith shop in the neighborhood was incessant. The crows in the trees chirped hoarsely. He took a deep breath, took out a red silk forge from his bosom, bent down and pretended to tie his shoes, and tied the silk to the root of the locust tree closest to the stele.

This simple action seemed to consume all his physical strength, and he hurriedly straightened up and returned the way he came, slightly panicked. As he left the pond and returned to the street, suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"Has Lord Gobei finally figured it out?"

Qubei hurriedly turned around and saw a teenager standing behind him looking at him with a smile. This young man was about twenty years old, and his clothes were very strange, his face was like a warm jade, but he was dressed in short clothes that only poor civilians wanted, and a green silk belt was tied around his waist, a typical wine shop guy.

"Why are you ....... dressed like this today?"

"The stronghold in the drunken east was exposed, and I naturally changed my identity again." The young man asked, smiling sincerely, no one would have thought that he was actually the intermediary of the Wei family in charge of contacting the Xiongnu. He nodded humbly, didn't dare to answer more, and looked to the side: the two people in disguise of the Ma family were standing from a distance watching him, and one of them was Wei Yan.

"It's not convenient to talk here, so let's go to my wine shop and sit down." The boy then invited.

"Your liquor store?"

"It's on the side, if you don't dislike it, you can sit there and talk to me slowly." When the young man said this, he pointed with his hand: "There is no one there, adults can rest assured." ”

I looked at the young man's fingers, and happened to see the sign of the wine shop "Li Ji" by the pond, and realized that he was the guy in the wine shop just now. There were only a few sparse trees between the counter and the pond, and he could easily monitor the movement of the Xuanwu Pond just by sitting on the counter, so it was no wonder that he could be aware of the appearance of Qubei so quickly.

"I don't even know your identity now, let alone where your weapons come from." Remembering Ma Chao's explanation, he began to slowly cliché: "I don't think I need to trade with you, you know, most of the Xiongnu tribes today have gradually begun to accept the Ma family......."

"I'm Wei Kai, and at the same time, it's Li Wei, the boss of Drunken Dongfang a few days ago." The young man didn't wait to finish speaking, and directly stated his identity. Seeing this, the young man continued to speak: "As for the source of those sharp weapons, there is no need for adults to know, you just need to understand that those things are beneficial to the Huns, isn't it?" ”

"No, we Huns have never been as cunning as you Han people, and I always feel that there must be a conspiracy in this matter that we can't grasp." Hearing this, Qubei has completed the task assigned by Ma Chao. Therefore, he didn't want to entangle, let alone want to know too much of the inside story, so he pretended to be stern and said: "Several of my subordinates have died innocently, and I don't want to be caught up in it myself, so I leave!" ”

After saying this, he didn't wait for Wei Kai to respond, and quickly turned around and left. Wei Kai obviously didn't expect that Qubei would make such a big turn all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the back of Qubei leaving, and a trace of inexplicable expression appeared on his warm and jade-like face.

The two people standing on the far corner saw all this, and one of them waved his hand and said to Wei Yan beside him: "Let's go, the goal has been confirmed, and today's task will end here." ”

"This, that's it? Just let that one go so easily? Shouldn't he be allowed to pretend to be cooperating with them to get further information? Wei Yan asked a little puzzled, in the eyes of a tough military general like him, what the Xiongnu did was already a betrayal of the Ma family, not to mention letting Qubei enter the enemy camp, even if he sacrificed his life, it was just atonement.

But Yang Xiu took one last glance at the Li Ji wine shop and replied: "After all, Qubei is the right virtuous king of the Huns, although our Ma family has always been extremely tough in its attitude towards the Huns. But General Wei should not forget that now Liu Bao is the king who has truly unified the Xiongnu tribes. However, our Ma family has fallen into the battlefield of Jizhou during this time, and within three years, it is impossible to take out a single soldier to conquer the Huns. Therefore, the lord can only choose to take a step back and open the sky. ”

Wei Yan quickly figured out the trick and understood Ma Chao's painstaking choice: "Then what should we do next?" ”

"Hehe, it depends on the lord's taste." Yang Xiu said with a smile, he already had a case in his heart: "I hope the lord can be gentle, so that he can carefully and thoughtfully make the deployment of the Cao clan, and find out those people behind the scenes." However, for the time being, I think the main guild is more brutal and direct. ”

Wei Yan didn't like to scrutinize Yang Xiu's meaning, and was a little tired of Yang Xiu's unintentional playfulness, so he said, "Don't stop me from being a fool, there is nothing mysterious in the first place." It's just that you want to use Wei Kai to slowly dig out those people behind the scenes, and the lord wants to destroy the Cao family's conspiracy as soon as possible, so he will visit the Wei family directly tomorrow. ”

Yang Xiu obviously didn't expect Wei Yan to say this, he glanced at Wei Yan with interest, and turned to leave: "You are a general with ideas, different from others. However, don't show too much in front of the lord, he doesn't like smart people like you. ”

"You're self-righteous, aren't you?" Wei Yan sneered, turned around and walked in other directions: "Those people around the lord, except for the people who can really keep pace with the lord, the rest of the people, it is best to use as many catties as you want, this is the reason why I quickly took charge of the situation." And you, because of your own cleverness, have always made the lord feel uneasy to let go......."

Yang Xiu was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that he, a person who had always been self-conscious, would be despised today by a martial artist who he didn't take much to heart. And, even more hateful, the truth he despised seemed to be quite correct.

So, should you be aware of this?

Inadvertently, Yang Xiu had already walked to the door of the Wei Mansion. He glanced at the deserted door, and his eyes showed complicated feelings: he understood that tomorrow Ma Chao's official visit to the Wei family would abruptly cut off the Wei family's participation in the destruction of the Ma family's plan. Once the Wei family appears here and becomes a source of no water, then Chang'an will be calm;

However, Yang Xiu also had his own ideas at this time, perhaps, he could use his own methods to figure out who was the executor who designed this conspiracy, and what were the specific measures of this conspiracy?

After coming up with such a result, will that guy Wei Yan still ridicule himself with such momentum? The lord may also have a satisfactory answer - he has indeed been complacent under the wings of that person for a long time, and it is time to show his edge.
