Liang Yuxi walked into the old man's room and saw Li Ju'er in the room, sitting in front of the bed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the old man covered a brocade quilt, and his eyes were slightly closed. After Liang Yuxi called Erniang, he approached the bed to look at the master, only to see that the old man's face was fine, his breath was stable, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly.

Liang Yuxi asked, "Master, has this disease improved somewhat?" ”

Zhao Yueniang: "There is no improvement, I started to get sick a few days after you left, and gradually I fell asleep more." As soon as he got sick, he talked nonsense and couldn't say anything sober. ”

"Why are you talking nonsense?"

Li Ju'er said: "If the preface doesn't match the afterword, take care of yourself." It's all trivial. Later, the time to wake up became less and less. ”

"What does Mr. Lang Zhong say?"

"Mr. Lang Zhong said that he was mentally disturbed, his five qi and five ambitions did not return, his seven emotions were injured, and his blood was obsessed. But no matter how you regulate it, it doesn't work, but only after eating the medicine fried in the spring water, you still wake up for half an hour. ”

Liang Yuxi nodded, he looked at the old man's calm face, and felt a little sad in his heart. Although the old man was very strict with him and even harshly criticized him, he always treated him differently from other subordinates and deliberately cultivated him. Liang Yuxi did not have a father when he was very young, and from the master, he could feel some of his father's strictness and kindness.

The old man fell ill like this, and it was too sudden. It's just that this illness is like a mountain, and it's useless for others to be anxious.

After leaving the old man's room, Liang Yuxi and Zhao Yueniang came to the back hall, and Ma Degui had been waiting for him in the back hall.

The people of Donglu Mansion heard that Liang Yuxi had returned to the house, so they put down their work and secretly came here to look. I want to see this little guy, who has passed the life and death crisis, and was immediately favored by the saint and appointed as the county master. That's a lot of talk.

I saw Liang Yuxi sitting in a guest seat in an official uniform, and Ma Degui was wearing a fast outfit and standing behind Liang Yuxi. Both of them used to be subordinates of the house, and today they came to visit the house in a dignified manner, and Zhao Yueniang also treated him as a host and guest. The subordinates couldn't help but sigh and be happy for Liang Yuxi from the bottom of their hearts.

Liang Yuxi was a little cramped by the strange eyes outside the door. At first, I didn't even dare to drink the tea. The eldest lady smiled and saw that he was uncomfortable, so she beckoned him to eat snacks and tea several times to make him feel a little calmer.

The eldest lady asked Cuiping to call in a few maids and adoptive mothers who were in the house that day, including a few subordinates from the backyard kitchen and miscellaneous servants, one by one, and Liang Yuxi talked to them all for a while. The people all said that there were no people in and out that day, and the only outsider who had been to the master's courtyard was the chief of Niankong Dao.

When he was about to ask, Ma Degui said in a low voice: "Yuxi, do you remember what I told you, Niankong is an acquaintance with the house?" ”

Liang Yuxi nodded, he understood what Ma Degui meant, he meant that Niankong and Li Ju'er had known each other for a long time, and these two people might have something to do with the disappearance of the treasure box.

He said to Zhao Yueniang: "Auntie, we are just here today to make a show, and we will ask here for the time being." Because this treasure box is too urgent, I am afraid that if I continue to ask for it, I am afraid that the thief will be forced to hurry, and the treasure will not be able to live. Don't worry, Auntie, I will find out. ”

Zhao Yueniang nodded, and was willing to listen to him.

Liang Yuxi thought very clearly before he came, if he didn't ask about the treasure box in the house, it would definitely arouse suspicion. But if he asks about this matter, it is best for Mingli to take a glimpse of it, and if he really wants to investigate this matter, he still has to do it secretly, so as not to miss a major event after the treasure is destroyed.

Out of Donglu Mansion, Liang Yuxi said to Ma Degui: "Uncle Ma, what do you think of this?" ”

"I estimate that nine times out of ten, Li Ju'er conspired to steal this treasure box after he and Niankong became adulterous."

"But why did Niankong take such a risk, isn't it too easy to arouse suspicion by stealing this thing at this moment?"

Ma Degui thought about it, "Also, obviously he is the only one who has been to Donglu Mansion, and after stealing the treasure hand in hand, he must be the first to be suspected." ”

"Also, although this treasure box is a treasure, it is not an item that can be estimated in the market. On the day of the theft, in the master's study, why were other valuable treasures not stolen? Why did they choose this thing? ”

Ma Degui: "Do any of them know anything unusual about this thing?" ”

"It's likely, but it's very small. Because, except for the old lady and me, even you didn't know the origin and use of this thing at that time. ”

"Could it be that someone else wants to find this crate?"

Liang Yuxi was also silent for a while, feeling that the loss of this treasure box did not seem to be as simple as it seemed on the surface. However, the Void must be checked.

"Uncle Ma, there are no other clues in this case, I think that if we want to investigate this matter, we can only start from the two existing suspicious people. After you go back, you send someone to keep an eye on Li Ju'er and Niankong to see what is unusual about them. Report me as soon as there is any movement. ”

"Okay."

The two left Donglu Mansion, and rode their horses to the North City Gate first. Liang Yuxi has always been concerned about the defense of the city wall, so it is necessary to personally inspect this matter.

Liang Yuxi remembered that he was still young, and he only went out with his master to the north city gate, and he always liked to climb the city wall with his bare hands from outside the city wall. Sometimes it doesn't take much effort to climb to two or three feet high. This wall seemed so unattainable when I was a child. And now looking at the city wall, it is still a little thinner, and it is not as tall as expected. I'm afraid that it is still a little difficult to resist a strong enemy.

Liang Yuxi walked up the stairs to the top of the city wall. I saw an old man in his fifties, with a face full of meat, a beard, a fat body wrapped in iron armor, and an iron rod that was eyebrow-high, commanding the soldiers to pile up and carry rolling wood and stones for defense, and a cauldron for boiling oil.

This person is the county lieutenant of Qin, the father-in-law of Song Debao, the land dragon.

Liang Yuxi also knew the county lieutenant Qin in the past, and it was common for him to patrol the city or practice on the school grounds with his soldiers. This man was born as a butcher, and although he did not do evil, he was a vulgar man.

Seeing that the new county commander had gone up to the city wall, the county lieutenant of Qin hurriedly put down the iron rod in his hand, and hugged his fists respectfully: "Lord Liang, it's polite." ”

Liang Yuxi also returned the salute, "Lord Qin has worked hard. ”

"Lord Liang is here to watch me defend the city, right?"

"Exactly, there have been wars in the surrounding area recently, and the defense of the city is the most urgent, and the county lieutenant of Qin can't be careless."

"Don't worry, my lord, after I received my lord's order here, I hurriedly sent people to put the weapons and materials for defending the city in place one by one. It's pretty much the same now, so please take a look. ”

Liang Yuxi nodded, and followed him as he walked.

In the past, when he was a child, Liang Yuxi often mixed with the city wall, and often watched the soldiers practice defense. On the side, he also carefully inspected the use of the defensive equipment and materials, and found this military affair very interesting.

I didn't expect that one day I would have to defend myself here, and this is no longer a fun thing.

Liang Yuxi looked at it for a while, then stopped and said, "County Lieutenant Qin, this defensive equipment and materials need to be adjusted slightly. ”

Qin County Lieutenant thought to himself, he also understands this defense? It's not a game. "What do you mean?"

"I looked, there were too many bows and arrows in this defensive weapon. Cut down on your bow and arrows, and prepare more logs, stones, and oil. ”

"Lord Liang, why is this?" County Lieutenant Qin was a little puzzled.

"You just do it. It's not to blame you for being poorly prepared, it's just a defensive need. After these materials are on the city wall, pay attention to the position of the pile. The most important thing is to pay attention to the candle, don't defend yourself before you have defended the enemy, but light yourself first. Heavy materials should be placed as close as possible to the city gates, and other locations should be assisted by boiling oil and fire attack. ”

Although the county lieutenant Qin had some doubts in his heart, he could only say yes again and again when he heard him say it so meticulously, and he didn't just say it.

Liang Yuxi looked at the equipment and materials, and then checked the outfits of the soldiers and workers who defended the city, and felt that although the defensive strength of the city wall was not impregnable, it could still resist the attack of dozens of puppets. Although the dolls were strong, I had never heard that they had wings, nor that they could fly from wall to wall.

As for the county lieutenant of Qin, Liang Yu was pleased to see that he was still conscientious in his duties, so he would wait and see the after-effects for the time being.
