Chapter 191: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake

In the afternoon of the same day, Chu Tianya went to Tianji Peak, and Zhu'er, the "personal maid", did not dare to follow. So she returned to the Chu Tianya residence in the Seven Star Hall and became a "supervisor".

Making a cup of flower tea and eating a few snacks, she swaggered on the Taishi chair where Chu Tianya usually sits, and watched Yan Daike take care of the room with a leisurely expression.

"Hey, get me some tea!" Pearls knocked on the table.

Wanyan Daike obediently did so, and she didn't dare to look at her directly.

"Be nimble with your hands and feet. The lord only came home for one meal a day. You have to prepare a lot of dinner, do you know what your lord's favorite dish is? …… Shaking your head, don't know? You're such a fool! - Don't look at me, I don't know, I'm new! ”

"Go, take out the boots I changed out yesterday and brush them clean and soak up the sun!"

"My sheets are dirty, go change them for me and wash them!"

"By the way, it's time to deliver food to the tiger girl. Cut off your own leg and feed it to her! ”

……

Wanyan Daike was called like a spinning top, and he didn't even dare to show his unhappy face. At this time, she finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hid in the kitchen and never dared to come out again.

"Hey, hey! You know you're scared, right? Zhu'er slapped her face triumphantly and got up, looking around at no one, her eyes rolled and she walked towards Chu Tianya's study.

At the door of the study, Pearl's continued to eavesdrop cautiously for a long time, until she thought that there was indeed no one around, and she finally mustered up the courage to push the door open.

Chu Tianya's study is very large, in addition to all kinds of books, there are also some cottages and military files, and correspondence, official documents, and some codes and atlases. In short, this is equivalent to a "president's office", with three floors inside and outside. The outer room is a hospitality room, where Chu Tianya usually chats with Bai Xu and others or talks about some official business; The middle floor is the study where he reads and handles official business, and the innermost room is the storage room, which stores books and files.

After Zhu'er entered, she was careful and did not dare to touch anything at will, and walked straight to the front of the storage room.

There was a big lock on the door, and the door panel was still thick and riveted.

Zhu'er was a little nervous, and sweat broke out on her forehead. She took a needle drill from her cuff and began to pick the lock. In a short time, the big lock was picked open, and she nervously and gently pushed the door open.

The room was a little dark, and Pearls cautiously walked in and saw that the room was full of bookshelves and cabinets more than one person high.

This can also be regarded as the confidential place of Qixingzhai, except for Chu Tianya himself and the former owner of Dazhai Guan Shan, basically no one has ever entered. Of course, Zhu'er came in for the first time, but found that the room was spotlessly cleaned, obviously Chu Tianya attached great importance to this place and often cleaned it himself.

Taking a deep breath, she began to search carefully through the bookshelves. It contains all the important documents and files from the opening of Qixingzhai, and it took a lot of effort for Zhu'er to find the latest batch of materials, and then began to search carefully.

Because of the nervousness, her breathing inadvertently became a little short, and her sideburns began to sweat layer by layer.

"Did you find it?" Suddenly, a voice sounded, and Zhu'er was so frightened that she almost flew out of the sky.

When she turned around, she saw Bai Xu standing behind her.

Bai Xu was alone, standing there smiling, as if there was no half hostility.

Zhu'er carefully pinched the wrist blade that had just slipped out of the cuff in the palm of her hand, took two steps back, and looked at Bai Xu vigilantly.

"I'm asking you, did you find it?" Bai Xu shook his fan for a long time and asked with a smile.

"Iβ€”I'm in and clean!" Pearl's rhetoric was forceful.

"Hehe, that's really hard for you." Bai Xu smiled, "Come in and clean, you have to pick the lock." Won't you ask the lord for the key? ”

After that, Bai Xu showed the key and shook it at Zhu'er.

"He's busy, where does he remember these things." Zhu'er pretended to be relaxed, and asked him rhetorically, "How do you have the key of the lord?" ”

"I'm a military advisor, so of course I have the key here." Bai Xu smiled easily, walked to a bookshelf and began to rummage through things, and said very casually, "Come and help me find the personnel information of the Tiger Ben Rider who has just been recruited this year." It's going to be reduced and eliminated again, and I don't know how many people will leave the lord's pro-xun cavalry camp. ”

"Oh......" Zhu'er answered, sighed secretly, and came over to help Bai Xu rummage through things.

It didn't take long for the two of them to move out a large pile of materials, which was enough to fill a box.

"That's a lot!" Pearls were a little surprised.

"Of course, more than 10,000 people were recruited at the beginning, and all the information at the time of registration is here." Bai Xu said, "Originally, these things should have been stored in the Military Aircraft Hall, but the lord said that he wanted to see the situation of these people in person, so he brought them." Now that the final candidate is clear, it's time to move back to the military aircraft hall and let me sort it out. There are more than 10,000 copies, I really don't know if the lord has finished reading it. ”

"Definitely not." Pearls replied casually. Seeing that Bai Xu didn't ask her any more questions, he was secretly relieved.

"Come, help me get to the military aircraft hall." Bai Xu waved her hand and motioned for her to come out of the room.

"Me? Such a big box! Zhu'er was a little stunned.

"Drag the box out first, I'll bring someone." Bai Xu locked the door as he spoke, and Zhu'er had to drag the box out.

When she arrived in the living room, Zhu'er saw more than a dozen big men standing here, all of whom were from the Military Aircraft Hall, Bai Xu's henchmen and guards.

Something is wrong with the atmosphere, there is a murderous aura in these big men.

"Strategist, you have so many people, you don't need my help, right? Hey, hey, hey! Pearls laughed dryly.

"Of course! These people are illiterate, so you have to help me sort out the files. Why, you wouldn't be unwilling, would you? Bai Xu said.

"Of course I do! But I'll have to clean my room here and wait for my lord to come home!" Pearl said.

"The lord won't be back tonight, you can help me!" Bai Xu smiled slightly, and smiled mysteriously, "It's good!" ”

Zhu'er looked at the unkind faces of the big men around her, and had no choice but to say, "That...... All right! ”

A moment later, Bai Xu came out of Chu Tianya's room with a group of people. There were men carrying large boxes, others lined up, and Zhu'er walked in the middle. It was as if she had been escorted out.

Many people along the way saw it, and they didn't dare to ask more questions when they were a little nervous about this formation. Zhu'er felt more and more worried, and now no matter how she looked, it looked like she was "arrested". But seeing Bai Xu's relaxed face and talking and laughing freely, she didn't want to ask too much, so she had to follow him to the military aircraft hall.

When she arrived at the Military Aircraft Hall, Bai Xu really didn't say anything, so she asked Zhu'er to help her sort out these files. Dinner didn't stop, and until the night, Pearls yawned a little.

"What, you're sleepy?" Bai Xu asked while burying his head in writing.

"Well, it's kind of ......," Pearls replied.

Bai Xu put down the pen and looked at Zhu'er, his eyes were bright.

Zhu'er was a little flustered by him, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, don't be sleepy, I'll continue to help you tidy up." ”

Bai Xu smiled slightly, picked up the pen and continued to write.

Zhu'er's heart became more and more chaotic, because Bai Xu's pen was mysterious and meaningful.

It's like an old fox!

After another half an hour, Bai Xu finally put down his pen and rested for a while, and said, "Okay, that's all for today, you go back and rest!" Continue to help me tomorrow. ”

"Come back tomorrow?" Pearls were a little surprised.

"Why, you don't want to? That's it. Bai Xu said, "I saw that the lord was not there for the past two days, and you were idle, so it was better for you to find something to do than if you were idle and bullying others, or cleaning everywhere." ”

Zhu'er's expression froze suddenly, "What do you mean?" ”

"What, am I wrong?" Bai Xu smiled, "Since you are the lord's maidservant, there are some rules that you have to abide by." Otherwise, it's not as simple as being scolded, and you may lose your head. ”

"You threaten me?"

"Even if it is, it's for your own good." Bai Xu said, "Haven't you heard of 'accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger'? Our lord is also the lord of a hundred thousand, and as glorious as he is, how dangerous is it. You took the initiative to ask Ying to be his personal maid, so you should be able to understand this truth. ”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Pearls were a little annoyed and impatient.

Bai Xu smiled slightly, opened the drawer, and took out a gray-brown bird feather from it.

Zhu'er's eyes suddenly widened, and she exclaimed, "Qing'er! What did you do with it? ”

"What do you say?" Bai Xu turned the feather of Hai Dongqing, and said with a meaningful smile, "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it." Pearl, you know more than I do, don't you? ”

Bead took a deep breath, and the blade in the sleeve slid into her palm again.

"Put away your secret weapon, it won't do you any good. Although Xiaosheng has no power to restrain the chicken, in this military machine hall, you have no chance. Bai Xu still smiled freely.

"What do you want?" Pearls took half a step back, taking up the retreat to the window.

"Sue me for your true identity." Bai Xu said, "Before I tell the Lord the truth, you still have a chance to live." ”

"You're exculpating me?"

"So to speak."

"Why are you helping me?" Pearls asked in surprise.

Bai Xu smiled, "I'm not helping you, I'm helping the lord." ”

"Don't play dumb riddles, just say it!" Pearls were a little annoyed.

"Because Xiao Sheng knows that the lord likes you very much, and you are a small person, which makes him very distressed. It's hard for those of us to do it. Bai Xu said, "The best way to solve this contradiction is for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and truly become the lord of the people." ”

Zhu'er's expression changed slightly, "Did you already know?" ”

"You can say yes, you can say no."

"It's tiring to talk to you!"

"Haha! Xiaosheng is a sour Confucian, and he is used to talking like this. Bai Xu laughed, "Zhu'er, this is your last and only chance." Do you understand what I mean? ”

Zhu'er's face no longer has that naughty and foolish look, but is very cold and vigilant, staring at Bai Xu with a cold light in her eyes, and said lightly: "My true identity, I have already told you not long after I came to the cottage, so why bother asking?" ”

"Ohβ€”that's a lot of ingenuity, and that's exactly what it is." Bai Xu smiled, "The lord is right, the most deceitful thing in this world is the truth." Your name, your origins, and your identity, these can all be true. But your intention to come to the cottage must be fake. is obviously a defection, but in fact it is to spy on the military situation, or there are other schemes. ”

"Now that you know everything, why bother?" Zhu'er looked at the feather in Bai Xu's hand and was a little discouraged.

Bai Xu smiled and said, "As a member of the Wolf Fang, Xiao Sheng has no confidence to convince you to switch camps. Because I have understood Yan Zonghan, if I am not absolutely sure, he will not send you to blend into the Seven Star Village lightly. ”

"This time, you're mistaken." Zhu'er sneered, "Except for me, neither of them is a real spy. My brother was tricked by me. But he knew I was lying to him, and he was willing to go with me because he liked me. That little slut is neither lying nor subtle, she is indeed my enemy, and she is the lover that Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi are fighting for. ”

"The more you say that, the more it proves that the two of them are fine." Bai Xu smiled, "Qiu Shu is very capable and well hidden. But his worst luck was to meet his real nemesis and opponent. In front of the old man, no one can hide anything, including skills and intentions. As for Wanyan Daike - don't you hate her very much, don't you hate her very much, why are you still helping her get rid of her at this time? It seems that the wolf tooth guards under Wanyan Zonghan are really well trained, and they will do their best to cover other teammates when they are on the verge of life and death. ”

"Believe it or not, whatever you want." Zhu'er said coldly, "One person does things and one person does it, I don't want to involve others." ”

"Right and wrong, the lord and the little student can tell the difference, and it's useless for you to use your tongue." Speaking of this, Bai Xu sighed, "Zhu'er, you should really cherish every moment of your life now. Because, you should have been a dead man a long time ago. ”

"You think I'm going to be scared?"

"Since you're not even afraid of death, are you afraid to tell me the truth?" Bai Xu smiled, "Do you remember what the lord said in the morning when he was angry? ”

"He said a word, Heavenly Pivot Peak." Zhu'er said.

"That's right. Do you know what that means? Bai Xu said.

Pearls shook her head.

"That's because the old man wants to kill you. He didn't want the lord to have any danger around him. Bai Xu furrowed his brows, and his expression became stern, "Do you know the identity and origin of the old man?" ”

"I've heard of it." Zhu'er said calmly, "You all call him Uncle He, but his real name is Chen Xizhen, he is the chief military advisor and the number one general under Fang La's command, and he was once one of the three chief teachers of the Tokyo Bow Horse Children's Institute, and even Tong Guan is his student. ”

"Looks like you're doing a good job of gathering intelligence." Bai Xu smiled, "Actually, none of this is important. The important thing is that he is like father and son with his lord. Among the 100,000 rebels in Hedong, he was the only one who had no title, no ministry and no division of labor, but the 100,000 people did not dare to despise him. Even the lord will not disobey his old man's wishes. Do you understand? ”

"You say this to sue me, the old man wants to kill me, but the lord stopped me?"

Zhu'er's expression has changed a little.
