Chapter XXXVII

In the evening, Lan Jun woke up from his sleep and found that there was no one in the room, so he got up and walked around by himself, and when he walked outside Tang Xu's room, there was a candle lit inside, and he carefully pushed the door in, and found that Tang Xu was holding a medical book and studying it carefully.

"Tang Gongzi." After waiting for a long time, Tang Xu was still concentrating and didn't notice that there was a person standing at the door, so Lan Jun walked over gently.

"Lan Jun, you're awake." Tang Xu was shocked and hurriedly put the book on the table.

"Hungry or not? Would you like something to eat? Tang Xu took out a plate of dim sum from the food box on the table, which Wang Dali brought back in the morning.

"Well, it's cold, I'll go to the stove room and make you some hot food." Tang Xu smiled embarrassedly, there was no fire in the house in the past few days when Lan Jun was away.

"Childe, please take a seat, I'll go." Lan Jun asked Tang Xu to sit.

"I can't help it, I can't help it, you've just gotten up." Tang Xu was very embarrassed, he could still cook a meal if he didn't have it.

"No need, I'll go, I want to move after lying down for too long." After Lan Jun finished speaking, he went to the stove room.

"Childe, please use it." After a while, Lan Jun brought Tang Xu a bowl of hot noodle soup.

"I'm so embarrassed." Tang Xu blushed.

"Childe doesn't have to be polite." Lan Jun smiled, and went to bring himself another bowl to eat with him.

"The owner." Tang Xu had just eaten two bites, and Wang Dali came back. Lan Jun put down his chopsticks and said hello to Wang Dali, and went straight out first.

“。。。” Wang Dali didn't know why Lan Jun left when he saw him, his eyes kept following Lan Jun and disappeared outside the door, and he was embarrassed to ask.

"Dali, is there any progress on your side?" Tang Xu also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, but it was hard to say.

"Be quiet, I'm afraid someone will be listening." Tang Xu reminded Wang Dali.

"I have sent people to secretly investigate the Khitans and people in the city, and there will probably be a reward tomorrow." Wang nodded vigorously and lowered his voice.

"Don't move the tea shop for the time being." Tang Xu added.

"Yes, I know, I put people around there to spy on me, and I didn't take action." Wang Dali said.

"Brother Wang." Lan Jun came back at this time.

"Ah, thank you." Wang Dali took the noodle bowl in Lan Jun's hand and was very ashamed, and his heart was also warm.

"Let's eat." Tang Xu glanced at Wang Dali's bowl, there were more poached eggs than himself and Lan Jun's, and he couldn't help but snicker.

"Hey!" Wang Dali agreed, bowed his head and ate violently.

"Eat slowly, is there no food in the general's mansion?" Tang Xu forced a smile.

“。。。” Wang Dali saw that Lan Jun was also snickering, blushed, and ate the last bit at the slowest speed.

After eating, the three of them sat around and discussed this matter in a whisper, Tang Xu and Wang Dali also carefully explained the ins and outs of this matter to Lan Jun, and Lan Jun relieved his previous doubts after hearing it.

"The owner and Lan Jun will not go out at home these days, and I will send more people to protect you." Wang Dali said.

"It's not good, so it's better to write a notice of closure and post it and make a show." Tang Xu said.

"It's okay, but I still need to protect in secret, after all, I'm in the open and the enemy is in the dark, so I need to be careful." Wang Dali said again, Tang Xu did not object when he heard it.

There was nothing to say all night, Wang Dali didn't go back to the general's mansion, Tang Xu didn't want to disturb him and Lan Jun chatting, he went to the yard to watch the stars, and fell asleep when he watched it, and when he woke up in the morning, he found himself lying on the bed, and Wang Dali was gone. Tang Xu ate the breakfast made by Lan Jun and continued to stay idle, and when he was bored, he took out the map given by Liu Shenxian to look at it. It's only been half a year, Tang Xu has gone from the border of the Jin Dynasty in the east to the outside of the west pass, and now it seems that he is still involved in the war between the two countries, thinking of these people he has known from the beginning to the present, Tang Xu is very emotional, I don't know when I will have the opportunity to meet again.

Tang Xu was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know what Lan Jun was doing, he wanted to take a look, and just got up from the stone bench, he suddenly felt that something on the courtyard wall moved, and after a closer look, he disappeared. Probably really being monitored, Tang Xu went to find Lan Jun to find out how he was kidnapped in the first place.

Tang Xu found him in Lan Jun's room, he was writing something, seeing Tang Xu coming in, he was busy crumpling the paper on the table and hiding it, Tang Xu was a little curious, but he didn't want to ask more.

"Tang Gongzi, is there anything to do with me?" Lan Jun forced his composure.

"I wanted to ask how you got taken away that day." Tang Xu looked outside the house, closed the door again, and walked into the house quickly.

"That day, I went to purchase medicinal materials according to Tang Gongzi's instructions, and came out after making an appointment with the shopkeeper for the delivery time, I originally wanted to go to West Street to buy wine, but I was rushed over and hit hard while walking, and I didn't stand and fell to the ground at that time." Lan Jun looked at his hand.

"The ring was shattered, too." Lan Jun seemed a little sad, but then smiled and said that it was not an important thing anyway.

"At that time, I was startled and wanted to see who was so reckless, but before I could take a closer look, I was hit on the head, and then I didn't know." Lan Jun continued.

"When I woke up, I was in a dark room, my hands and feet were tied, and my mind was groggy. But there was a smell of rice sac flowers and tea leaves in that room, I can't be mistaken. Then I vaguely heard a woman talking to someone outside the house, talking about tea, healing, and Tang Gongzi's name. I guess it may have something to do with the fact that you treated the people of Lanzhou City with tea poison. I woke up in a daze in the room and fell asleep. Later, you came. Lan Jun recalled the scene, but he had no idea how he got from the street to the small house.

"It's okay, in short, these two **** should be more careful, and leave the rest to Dali." Before leaving, Tang Xu told him to rest more.

Back in the house, Tang Xu still wanted to go to the place where Lan Jun's ring was found, that house seemed to be a little strange, if it was just taken away, it didn't make sense that it would be hung into the courtyard, and it would be more obvious to take it away. Tang Xu was thinking about it, and Wang Dali walked into the courtyard quickly, holding a ball of white things in his hand.

"Look, boss." Wang Dali spread his hands and was a pigeon.

"Is it a carrier pigeon?" Tang Xu had only seen carrier pigeons on TV, and this kind of little thing was the fastest communication tool in ancient times.

"Exactly, owner, please see." Wang Dali removed a note on the leg of the carrier pigeon, there were some very small words on it, not like Chinese characters, Tang Xu did not recognize.

"What's written on this?" Tang Xu asked.

"This is a message sent by the people who took off the thinking to the Khitan people in the city, probably urging money." Wang Dali explained to Tang Xu.

"Dali, you are so powerful, you can recognize this kind of word." Tang Xu patted Wang Dali's shoulder, and he was really a talent.

"The owner has won the award, these are not all words, there are some special marks, Tusi Ma and Dang Xiang are all branches of Tibet, the text symbols used are many figured out, these words and symbols are far less esoteric than Chinese characters, often simple words, the meaning of the expression is also very direct. I've seen some records in the General's Palace, and I've learned a little bit," Wang Dali said modestly. Wang Dali pointed to a thing drawn on the slip of paper with an outer circle and an inner square, which was the sign of money.

"Oh." Tang Xu listened and nodded.

"Owner, this carrier pigeon was intercepted by me, and I have to put it back quickly, otherwise it will definitely arouse suspicion from others." Wang Dali said.

"Yes, but it's not good to let a carrier pigeon go back without a letter." Tang Xu pondered.

"Dali, will you write these words?" Tang Xu asked Wang Dali, and Wang Dali reluctantly nodded.

"But I've never used it, I don't know if I can hide it from those people." Wang Dali is very bad at deceiving people, and he is very weak-minded.

"Don't worry, you write a few words for me to see." Tang Xu encouraged.

"Okay." Wang Dali took a pen and paper, pondered for a while, and carefully drew a few things on the paper that looked like words and symbols.

"Not bad, vigorously." Tang Xu came over to take a look, it was very good, it looked like a series.

"What did you write?" Tang Xu asked again.

"Ask them if they want tea." Wang Dali said.

"Is there anything about asking for money?" Tang Xu asked.

"Nope." Wang Dali replied.

"Good! Although I agreed to the Khitan deal, it is estimated that they will not be too publicistic for a while, and will delay with the people of Desima, so that the people of Desima may not be able to hold their breath, and if they have infighting, it will be of great benefit to us. Tang Xu praised Wang Dali.

"The owner has won the prize, and I will release this carrier pigeon now." Wang Dali re-tied the note to the pigeon's leg.

"Well, you can go." Tang Xu nodded, and when Wang Dali walked out of the room, he suddenly wanted Wang Dali to follow the carrier pigeon by the way when he returned, so as to find the foothold of the Tuo Sima people in the city, but it was not easy to track a carrier pigeon, so he dispelled this idea.

At noon the next day, Wang Dali brought another news, when the carrier pigeon returned, he rode a horse to chase the carrier pigeon, although the horse could not be compared with the carrier pigeon of Shenxing, but also roughly touched the location of the Tuo Si Ma people. Tang Xu was overjoyed, in this way, maybe they would be able to make up their minds from the side of the Tuosi Ma people.

"I also changed the reply from the desicumber." Wang Dali took out a small note, saying that the Khitan's reply was as Tang Xu expected, some innocuous words, and the people were obviously a little annoyed by this answer, and the content of the reply to the Khitan people was also full of dissatisfaction, and they were more urgent to ask for money.

"And what did you write?" Tang Xu asked.

"Something very peaceful, unfocused." Wang Dali smiled, Tang Xu immediately praised him even more, Wang Dali was a little embarrassed, and a little proud.

"In this case, you will send more people to strengthen patrols in the city, sit back and wait for the Khitan backyard to catch fire, and once the Tusima people enter the city, they will all be arrested." Tang Xu said to Wang Dali.

"However, don't make a noise after you are arrested, I have other arrangements for those people." Tang Xu added, Wang Dali didn't seem to understand Tang Xu's words, but what the owner said must be listened to.
