In the early morning of January 15, He Mei received a telegram from Uncle Jing: Tian Haozi's vanguard returned to Luoshui Village.

Not to mention the high-IQ people of the military division, the thinking must be long-term, and the deployment must be thorough: Wang Shihua previously ordered the two tigers to be stationed in Luoshui Village for three days, and burned down Luoshui Village when they evacuated; Later, He Mei changed the order and let the two tigers not move the grass and trees in the water village. The purpose is obvious: it is to attract Tian Hemp seeds back.

In the evening of the same day, Tian Hezi led the main force back to Luoshui Village.

He Mei immediately asked Liu Jin to take two hundred people with excellent ears and vision, according to the previous deployment, to spread out inside and outside Laosi City and Longtang Town to form a large network of monitoring and surveillance......

As night fell, after receiving that this large net had been deployed, he immediately ordered 200 cavalry to be drawn from the cavalry battalion that Wang Shihua had just formed, 150 war horses from Xiaowangjiaping, and 500 elite soldiers from Laosi City, plus all the officers and men of the artillery battalion, to secretly assemble outside Laosi City.

said that it was a secret assembly, but so many people were all gathered outside Lao Si City, how could someone with a heart not find out? But these are just performances, and the real purpose of this operation is not to attack the Falling Water Village at all, but to find out the other party's spies.

After the assembly, without any stops, he immediately set off, and deliberately revealed the numerous shells and light and heavy machine guns he was carrying.

Watching the team's discrediting disappear into the night, He Mei turned around to look at Longtang Town.

The cold wind blew, curled up the black hair, and danced lightly, but He Mei turned a blind eye as if she was in a state of concentration - she was waiting for Liu Jin's news. What's more, she is still waiting for news from another person.

About half an hour later, a young ** walked up to the castle tower with an eagle falcon standing on his shoulder...... Each country has its own intelligence network, and at the same time, it has its own methods of blocking information. This person is Uncle Jing's eldest son, Uncle Jing's successor, and is currently in charge of intercepting enemy intelligence. The falcon on his shoulder is specially designed to cut off the enemy's use of carrier pigeons to transmit information.

"I've seen the head of the house."

"Dajing, hard work."

"It's not hard." Straightened up, took out a small bamboo tube the size of a small thumb and a finger length from his arms, handed it to Wang Shihua with both hands, and reported: "The little one was ordered to take a few brothers to lay eagle falcons around, but fortunately he did not disgrace his life and intercepted the other party's carrier pigeon. ”

He Mei unceremoniously stepped forward, took the small bamboo tube, and asked, "There is only one carrier pigeon?" ”

Seeing Da Jing nodding, He Mei asked, "Did you see the carrier pigeon on the mountain where it came from?" ”

"Because the distance is too far, the small ones only dare to determine a general range to the east of the town."

He Mei nodded and said, "It's hard work, you go back and continue to monitor, if you find the carrier pigeon again, intercept it immediately." ”

"Yes!"

He Mei looked at Longtang Town again, silent. Seeing this, Wang Shihua wanted to speak, but it was difficult to speak, so he could only stand with him.

After about five minutes, Liu Jin came back and handed a notebook to He Mei.

The book records the entry and exit of Longtang Town and Lao Si City from the beginning of the assembly of troops to ten minutes ago: Lao Si Cheng did not have any telegraph sound, and no one entered or exited - think about it, Lao Si Cheng must close the city gate after nightfall, and if you want to enter and exit, you must at least have a warrant from the old man on duty. But there was a situation in Longtang Town: there was no telegraph, but three people left on horseback, two on foot, and a caravan of more than ten people had already set off.

"Didn't alarm them, did you?" He Mei asked as she handed the notebook to Wang Shihua.

"Sister! The people who sent out are good at this, and they shouldn't miss out. ”

"Yes!"

"In addition, when I came, the person who was deployed outside the Jufulou Inn had just reported to me that a carrier pigeon flew out of the Jufulou when the team had just set off. I have already asked the big dog to quietly surround the Jufu Building, and I haven't alarmed the other party yet. Sister, do you need to be arrested immediately? ”

Hearing this, He Mei's face finally smiled a little, and said, "Immediately arrest all of them for me, and try to keep them alive." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Jin grabbed the torch planted in the city wall, jumped on the wall battlement, and shook it three times in the direction of Longtang Town.

He Mei took a step forward, looked in the direction of Longtang Town, turned around and shouted, "Someone!" ”

Wang Erlin hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Here!" ”

"Go get me a telescope." He smiled at Mama Liu, who had been standing like a shadow behind her, and said, "Mama Liu, you also go and get a pot of charcoal, and then get some hot pot, and Shihua and I will have a good drink on the upper floor of this city." ”

Wang Erlin immediately took the opportunity to bow his head and peeked at Wang Shihua, and when he saw Wang Shihua nodding with a smile, he quickly replied: "Yes!" ”

"You men are loyal enough to you. You've said that I'm going to transfer it all the time, but they're still not at ease. ”

"Aunt He, don't be like them." As he spoke, he took off his telescope and handed it to He Mei.

He Mei smiled, didn't speak, took the binoculars, looked carefully in the direction of Longtang Town, and asked, "Where is Jufu Building?" ”

"There!"

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

As soon as Wang Shihua's words fell, three gunshots rang out in the direction of Jufu Building, followed by a chaotic roar, causing Wang Shihua to immediately take the telescope from the second dog and take a closer look.

Unfortunately, it was too dark and far away, so I couldn't see the details at all.

put down the binoculars, glanced at He Mei, and saw that she was actually looking at it with relish, and immediately pouted: I can't see it, what can you see? I still look at it with a smile on my face, I really don't know what you're laughing at.

"It's not strange that you're talking about it, I used to stand here with that old bastard and watch the night view of Longtang Town, but I never found that the night view of Longtang Town was so beautiful."

"Probably because the current Longtang Town is more than twice as big as before, and it is more prosperous and has more lights, so it is more prominent."

He Mei thought about it, nodded, and picked up the binoculars to look at it again. However, this time I no longer looked in the direction of Jufu Building, but looked around.

Wang Shihua couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Aunt He, what are you watching?" ”

"I'm looking at the rooftops of each house to see if anyone is waving flags."

"Flags?" Wang Shihua was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and asked: "Although the town is brightly lit, it is pitch black outside, and it is useless to play the flag, and there is no news at all." ”

"Who told you to send the news back?" He Mei put down the binoculars, glanced at Wang Shihua dissatisfiedly, and said: "As long as the other party arranges for someone to play the flag on the roof, send out the signal, and after the receiving person stands on the top of the mountain and sees the flag, he can spread the news from elsewhere, and there is no need to send it back at all." ”

Speaking of this, she simply handed the telescope to Liu Jin beside her, and then pointed to a few people who were looking forward to the telescope, and ordered: "You all give me a closer look, and pay attention to whether anyone is waving a flag on the roof." ”

It happened that Wang Erlin came up with a few subordinates, He Mei walked over, lifted a chair and sat down, pointed to the front, and said, "Put things here." ”

He also motioned to Wang Shihua to bring a chair to sit beside him, and waited for Wang Shihua to sit down, but He Mei smiled and instructed his subordinates to put the table in front of him, put the brazier under the table, and put the hot pot ......

Two minutes later, after all this, He Mei reached out and took a charcoal bag handed by He Ma, felt the warmth in her hand, glanced at Wang Shihua, and saw that Wang Shihua was looking at the charcoal bag in her hand, so she smiled and said: "In the past fifteen years of going out, my heart has not been smooth, so I don't care much about my body. ”

Wang Shihua is not good at commenting, so he can only hug He Mei, which can be regarded as an apology for the elders.

"Okay, I won't tell you this, I'm serious."

"Shihua, you have to remember one sentence: details determine success or failure! The quality of anything starts with the details. Picked up the chopsticks, stirred the hot pot that was not hot, put down the chopsticks, and smiled at Wang Shihua: "As the head of the family, your words and deeds determine the rise and fall of the family...... A person's ability is limited, so he must discuss more with his confidants, after all, 'three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang!' There is a lot of truth in that. And you can only be invincible if you are well prepared in all aspects...... As for whether or not the other party can be defeated, it depends on the will of God. ”

"Thank you Aunt He for teaching, I remember."

"For example, now, I've tried to take all aspects into consideration, and if I still don't catch it, then I can't help it."

As she spoke, seeing Wang Shihua deep in thought, she smiled, picked up chopsticks, and stirred the hot pot that began to steam.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the ingredients in the hot pot had been tumbling, he knocked down the dishes with chopsticks and said, "If you have time to think in the future, now, accompany me to eat hot pot first." ”

Wang Shihua smiled and nodded, picked up the chopsticks and stretched out to the hot pot, but at this moment, he saw Wu Ma rushing over quickly, snatched the chopsticks in Wang Shihua's hand, picked up a piece of meat from the hot pot and put it in his mouth, and then ate a chopstick for each dish, even grabbed a piece of raw white tea, and chewed it with a straight sound, and looked at He Mei angrily while chewing, as if he was not chewing raw cabbage, but He Mei.

After a full burp, he grabbed the wine glass in front of Wang Shihua, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all.

Put the chopsticks and wine glass in front of Wang Shihua, and said with a smile: "Family master, you can eat now." ”

After speaking, he straightened up, looked at He Mei coldly, and said in a deep voice: "He Mei, I don't care what you want to do, but if you want to invite the head of the family to dinner, you have to go through me first." Otherwise, if the head of the family has an accident, I will fight with you. ”

He Mei looked at her with a straight face, and suddenly smiled after a few seconds: "Mother Wu, you are still so impatient!" ”

"I'm not in a hurry, it's your business!" After rolling her eyes at He Mei, seeing that Wang Shihua was holding chopsticks and didn't pick up the vegetables, she suddenly shouted unhappily: "You still don't eat?" What's the matter, do you think the old woman has a dirty mouth? Hum! Don't forget, when you were a child, you didn't dig food from your wife's mouth. ”

Wang Shihua hurriedly stood up and saluted Mama Wu with a fist, and said with a flattering smile: "Mama Wu, I grew up eating your milk, how can I dislike you?" I was just thinking about something. I'm sorry to snub you! ”

"That's pretty much it." After speaking, he glanced at He Mei coldly, snorted heavily, and said, "Conscience has let the dog eat", raised his head, took a figure-eight step, and walked away like a crab!

In fact, among the female descendants of the entire Wang family, probably only Mama Wu dares to argue with He Mei, and she is also qualified to argue, just by virtue of the fact that she is Wang Shihua's nurse, who dares to be big in front of her old man? Didn't you see what Wang Shihua said to her and bowed down to apologize? Even Zhang Cuiyun, an arrogant and domineering lord, although he is in charge of the family's economic power, Wang Shihua's private money has always been in the hands of Wu's mother, and she confidently asks Zhang Cuiyun for Wang Shihua's monthly example every month. For this kind of behavior of daring to snatch food from her mouth, Zhang Cuiyun has always let it go, which shows Wu's mother's status.
