"General Yu is upright, and there are always omissions in the complex officialdom," Shen Mo said softly: "I will try my best to help him secretly." ”

Hearing that he seemed to have something to say, the eldest son was shocked and said, "What, is there anyone who wants to be unfavorable to our general?" ”

"I'm also chasing after the wind," Shen Mo thought about it, and decided to tell the truth: "The Shang maintenance of the Ministry of Staff, and General Yu are fellow villagers, and now the adults of the Ministry are like Zhongtian, it is inevitable that there will be a small meeting of the night or two to falsely accuse and invite merit, and General Yu still has to guard against it." ”

The eldest son knew that he was silent, foaming at a star, and never spoke, so he said with a straight face: "You mean, let me tell our general?" ”

"Well," Shen Mo nodded, "I originally wanted to write a letter and mention it vaguely, but now that you are here, it is best to send a message." ”

"I see." The eldest son nodded heavily.

The time of the reunion was too hurried, and before the brothers could say enough, the sergeant outside said, "Balawi is about to leave." The eldest son had no choice but to get up, drink the last glass of wine with Shen Mo, then put on his sword and cloak, and went out with his official hat.

Shen Mo sent him again and again, until he was sent to the dock, and then reluctantly parted, and whispered before leaving: "You must remember more waterways, and strive to be able to read and navigate as soon as possible." ”

The eldest son nodded heavily and wrote down the trust of his brother.

Although it was only a brief meeting, after sending off the eldest son, Shen Mo was still stunned for several days, Ruohan laughed at him and said: "I separated from Xu Wei and them, and I didn't see you lose your soul like this." ”

Shen Mo shook his head and said in a low voice: "They are my friends, and the eldest son and Shen Jing are my brothers. ”

Rao is Ruohan is incomparably smart, but he can't understand the classification of men's feelings, so he no longer thinks about it, and turns to sewing baby clothes seriously...... As the child in her womb grew day by day, Ruohan's maternal surname became stronger and stronger, and finally stopped focusing on her career and put more energy on the unborn child.

After watching from the side for a while, Shen Mo felt bored, so he got up and said, "I'll go to the front and have a look." Ruohan nodded and said with a smile: "Go ahead." But his eyes did not leave the needle and thread in his hand.

Shen Mo was bored, so he went out, walked to the yard, and said to Rou Niang, who was drying clothes: "You say, in a woman's heart, is her man important, or is her child important?" ”

Rou Niang was stunned, lowered her head, bit her lip and whispered: "There are no slaves and maids, slaves and maids don't know ......" Shen Mo couldn't imagine that her casual question caused her to be angry, so she had to retreat: "Don't be in a hurry, there will be, there will be." He ran away regardless of his identity.

After returning to the signing room to deal with the official documents for a while, Sanchi hurriedly came in, showed him a small note, and said, "This was found in Miss Su's courtyard this morning." ”

Silently glanced at it, only to see that it was written, 'Today is midnight, Fengqiao is parked at night, and the fire is raised, and it will not be seen or dispersed.' ’

"Looks like they can't sit still anymore." Shen Mo said in a deep voice: "Even if you have doubts about the reliable surname of this chess piece, you have to try again." ”

"My lord, should we set up a fence in advance?" Sanchi asked.

"The reason why they are outside the city is because of the complicated situation." Shen Mo frowned slightly: "I'm afraid that we will make dumplings......" said and muttered: "This time you have to hit with one blow, obviously it is not suitable there, we have to try to lead that guy into our encirclement." ”

"What do you mean?" Sanchi asked.

"Be calm." Shen Mo said softly: "Let Su Xue go out and connect with them, and contact them first." ”

"Yes." Sanqi should be lowered, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, if you really catch that Lu Ji, what are you going to do?" ”

"The dungeon is his home for the rest of his life." Shen Mo sneered: "I'll take care of the food." ”

"Ah......" Sanchi said softly: "My lord, aren't you afraid of Yanjing?" ”

"Hmph, the reason why those people dare to go against me again and again is nothing more than relying on Lu Bingzai, and I don't dare to kill if I am right." A cold look crossed his face, and he said in a deep voice: "They didn't guess wrong, Lu Bing is in one day, I can't kill the killer, then I will lock them up until the day Lu Bing is gone!" ”

"And then kill them?" Three-foot gritted his teeth.

"Ball, we are the government, not the underworld," Shen Mo sneered and said: "As long as Lu Bing is finished, they will understand a truth, death is never the most terrible thing in the world, being pushed into the mud from the clouds, thousands of people stepping on it, and there will never be a superlife, that is the coolest thing." ”

The clay man still has three local surnames, not to mention silence? was calculated again and again by the Lu family, and the silent hatred finally reached the point of not dying.

At night, several guards accompanied Su Xue out of the city, and after some twists and turns, they finally saw someone, but it was neither Lu Ji nor the wheelchair man, but just one of their servants...... The children of the family are afraid of death after all, and after the search and arrest of the plough court, they dare not show their heads easily.

The man didn't talk nonsense, let the guards retreat, and then leaned in, and directly told Su Xue that in the last seven days, her younger brothers and sisters would return to the West Heaven.

Although she had been mentally prepared, Su Xue almost fainted in pain, and said with sorrow: "If they die, it will not benefit you at all, and I think you will not only be kind enough to report the news, tell your master's conditions." ”

was robbed by her for a while, and the man couldn't help but say, "Did you give that guy a trick?" ”

"Of course." Su Xue's face was slightly red and said, "...... Otherwise, how could he listen to me and help me save my younger siblings? Fortunately, she couldn't see her face clearly when it was dark, and she continued: As long as you detoxify our sister and brother, I can also let him cooperate with your master regardless of his previous suspicions."

"Stinky woman!" The man scolded: "Sure enough, you are the one who turned the water!" ”

"So what?" Su Xue sneered: "With you villains, do you still want to talk about benevolence and righteousness?" ”

There was some stiffness between the two sides, and the man adjusted for a long time before he said, "Okay, you call him out, and we will talk." ”

"Yes." Su Xue nodded.

"The location is waiting for us to know." The man viciously threatened: "Don't play tricks, or you will collect the bodies of your brothers and sisters!" Then he turned and disappeared into the docks, among the countless ships moored at night.

When Su Xue came back from outside the city by the guards, she found that Lord Shen was waiting in the Xiaoxiang Building, and had already put her younger siblings to sleep, so she hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen my lord." ”

"No need to be polite." Shen Mo smiled gently: "I am relieved to see that you are okay." ”

"Lord Lao is worried." Su Xue's bitter heart moisturized a trace of sweetness.

"Hehe......" Shen Mo smiled and said: "It's not early, let's make a long story short, have you seen the Lu family, what is the specific situation?" Su Xue repeated the matter and said softly: "Adults have heavy responsibilities, so you don't have to think about our sisters and brothers......"

"You can't say that," Shen Mo slowly shook his head and said, "You three sisters and brothers, it's because of me that you suffered this innocently, and I can't ignore it." Saying that, he got up and said softly: "They will contact you in the next few days, you just have to agree, and then notify me." ”

Su Xue nodded, and asked in a ghostly manner, "My lord...... Want to go? ”

"Yes, it's not early, you should rest," Shen Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are guards inside and outside the courtyard, and there will be no problem with safety." ”

Su Xuemuran nodded, and said with a forced smile: "I'll send it to my lord." ”

"Stay." With a wave of his hand, he floated away, leaving only the stunned Miss Su Xue, standing there and feeling sorry for herself.

Only two days later, Su Xue sent a message that the other party asked her to ask him to go to Zhouzhuang.

"Your Excellency, you can't go," Sanchi and Tiezhu persuaded together, "This is clearly a trap, you can't jump into it." ”

"I know, but I'll have to show up first and wait for the other party to confirm that it's correct." Shen Mo said: "Don't worry, with your guards, what will happen to me?" ”

"What if they want you to get on their ship?" The two asked.

Shen Mo smiled and scolded: "What I am in is a love Gu, not afraid of Gu, it's not like what people say is what, right?" He sneered and said, "The biggest possibility is that they lure us to a Jedi somewhere and launch an ambush; As for attacking the prefect of Suzhou in broad daylight, they don't have the ability or guts. ”

The next day, a magnificent three-story painting boat, carrying the prefect and Su Xue, went out of the city from the water gate, and many boats passing on the river saw the two of them on the top floor, like a fairy couple...... The silence on the ship, pretending to play, sighed lightly: "I can't tell ...... now"

Su Xue smiled bitterly in her heart when she heard this, and said secretly: "I can't tell it for a long time...... Now people regard her as the prefect's forbidden body, and Xiaoxiang Mansion doesn't expect her to make money, so she should be worshiped like a bodhisattva.

The painting boat has been traveling for a while, and it is quite far away from the city, but the boats coming and going on the river are still endless, adding incomparable liveliness to Suzhou, and also destroying the original pastoral beauty, which is all due to the opening of the port.

The silence will not be played, and the indiscriminate number is quite boring, and finally I can't help asking: "How do you say those people will contact you, and you won't let me find out?" ”

Su Xue had already enjoyed this journey a little, so he pulled him back to reality, and couldn't help but be excited, and said with a forced smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I agreed on a code, and there will be a boat under the guise of 'Zhang's cooked goods' passing by, I will buy a braised chicken and come back, and the order is in the belly of the chicken." ”

"Braised chicken? Lu Ji? Shen Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's quite self-deprecating." ”

After a while, sure enough, there was a small boat, passing by under the guise of a 'Zhangjia cooked goods', Su Xue stopped the boat, threw money down, bought a braised chicken and came up, tore it open and took a look, only to see two words 'Zhouzhuang'.

"Hehe," Shen Mo smiled, "that's a good place." ”

In the early winter, Yinwei does not let go of any corner of the world, even if the paradise-like Zhouzhuang is no exception, without the cover of red flowers and willows, those Daiwa are very solemn, and those white walls are a little solemn, which makes people faintly uneasy.

When the boat docked, it was dusk, but the town was already sparsely populated, and only the smoke rising from the cooking stove could make people feel a little bit of life.

Shen Mo and Su Xue got off the boat, it was easy to find someone to ask for the way, under the escort of a group of guards, they walked to the only inn and restaurant in the town...... the guise of 'Shen Family Restaurant' hung weakly, the fat shopkeeper was lying listlessly on the counter, heard footsteps coming, looked up and saw Shen Mo, although he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, but this small place had not been visited by such a noble person for many years, so the shopkeeper recognized him at a glance.

Shen Mo smiled at him, but he said with a stinky face: "Staying in a hotel or eating?" ”

Shen Mo was slightly strange, and said with a smile: "Eat first, then stay in the hotel." Then he went in with Su Xue, sat in the private room, and said, "What are the specialties of your store?" ”

"What's so good to eat in the backcountry." The shopkeeper said angrily: "There is only coarse tea and light rice, and I don't like to eat it." ”

"I heard that Zhouzhuang's 'Wansan Pig's Trotters' are very famous, so I came here." Shen Mo asked, "Your name is Shen Family Restaurant, there must be one, right?" ”

"Nope." The shopkeeper wiped the table, and at the same time, gave him a look from an angle that others could not see, and said, "You have to kill the pig." ”

Silent suddenly, he said helplessly: "Okay, you can order whatever you want." ”

Sure enough, it was a very sloppy meal, and the food was silent, and after a few hasty bites, he asked the shopkeeper to open the room to sleep.

The shopkeeper arranged their group in a cross-courtyard, Su Xue and Shen Mo slept in the main room, and the guards rested in the surrounding rooms.

In the first half of the night, there was no word, and in the second half of the night, there was the sound of throwing stones to ask for directions, and the guards who were lying in clothes immediately got up and watched the courtyard vigilantly.

When the diminutive men in black arrived under the main house, they were about to open the window, but they were pierced by the steel guns sticking out of it! Many people were pierced at the time, and the miserable screams finally pierced the quiet night!

The guards immediately kicked open the door and rushed out, and surrounded the strangely dressed men in black with the guards guarding the main house...... They are agile, fast, and ruthless, hitting the nail on the head! Fortunately, the silent guards are no longer what they used to be, they are not only highly skilled, but also skilled in long and short weapons, although they are very unsuitable for the opponent's strange attack, but they are still high and low, not chaotic, not an inch!

The fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, and when the sharp whistle sounded, more and more black-clothed people rushed over from all directions, and suddenly there was a momentum to engulf this small courtyard!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tie Zhu shouted violently: "Change formation!" With his order, the sixty-six pro-soldiers in fine armor gave up the long snake formation and scattered in a chaotic manner.

The men in black who were besieging were overjoyed when they saw this, thinking that the other party was in chaos, so they wanted to end this battle with one blow!

But if they look closely, they will find that those Ming troops who seem to be panicked and scattered all have the same number - eleven! It's clearly a new formation!

This is where Silent lures the enemy alone, from the 'secret method of warfare' of his uncle Tang Shunzhi's book "Wu"!

It's a near-perfect battle queue, with an impeccable combination of positions and weaponry – the captain and two knife players in the front row; The second row of two wolf soldiers, holding a long-handled iron broom-like wolf wrestler, protected the knife card; Two pikemen in the third and fourth rows each protected a tile and a tile, and the knife player in turn prevented the spear from getting old, and finally two of his own soldiers carried the 'palladium'...... It was a seven- or eight-foot-long, mountain-shaped iron weapon, with rockets placed in the recess at the top, that is, arrows with booster gunpowder, which could be ignited and charged straight into enemy lines. After the launch, the palladium can be used as a nine-tooth nail rake, wandering around the wings and sweeping the formation.

It can be said that this is a formation with no weaknesses, eleven people cooperate with each other, cover each other, and form a perfect killing formation, which makes the people in black who are pouring everywhere have no way to start.

The situation is roughly like this, with this most powerful killing array in the past, the silent soldiers stubbornly resisted the enemy ten times as much, and there was still room to divide a small detachment to guard his side and protect his safety.

There are so many people on the other side, but like a tiger gnawing on a hedgehog, they can't succeed for a long time, and the person in command can't help but get anxious, urging his subordinates to attack desperately, but they only increase casualties in vain, and can't advance an inch.

Just when he was at a loss, the minions who were watching the wind on the periphery ran over in a panic and said, "Young master, something is wrong, we are surrounded!" ”

"What's the panic?" The man said in a deep voice, "How many?" ”

"Tens of thousands, besieging this town!" Minions panicked.

The man finally understood, and snorted, "I was deceived by that woman!" "In a hurry, I revealed my true voice, it was the fake Lu Ji and the real Lu embroidery!

As usual, it was Lu Ji who planned behind the scenes, and Lu Xiu carried it out in front of the stage. Lu Ji swore to her in advance that five hundred ninjas could wipe out the silent guards with a cup of tea, and even if there were responding troops outside, they would not have time to rescue them, so there was tonight's operation.

But the appearance of that strange formation made her unable to advance at all, listening to the shouts of killing everywhere, she understood that today was completely planted...... It's okay, I'm finally free...... [end of this volume]
