unexpectedly

Mu Zichu didn't go out again after returning to his tent, waiting for Long Baiyu to send news to him.

Until the National Teacher took the list of medicines he had listed and the planned time of Wei Jing's round trip, and came to him, he never saw Long Baiyu come to him to explain the results of the letter.

Until the time of dinner, Long Baiyu opened the curtain of Mu Zichu's tent with a cold air, and Wei Jing exposed half of his body behind him.

A charcoal brazier was placed in the tent, and there were a few small dishes on the three-foot-high wooden table, Long Baiyu opened the curtain and a hot breath came to his face, but Mu Zichu, who was sitting inside, was still tightly wrapped, Long Baiyu saw this and hurriedly let Wei Jing go in and sit, and carefully covered the curtain to prevent the cold outside from invading this warm tent.

actually brought Wei Jing with him, Mu Zichu was obviously surprised, but after thinking about it, he thought it was okay, so that the national teacher could directly explain to Wei Jing.

"Why are you cold? Did you find the news? ”

Mu Zichu got up and prepared two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, before the national teachers, they would sometimes come here, but they didn't expect that this time the people would come so well.

"That's right, I did go to check the letter, I met a thorn, but I confirmed a few people, but after looking for someone, I found that someone was missing, and the others had other soldiers to vouch, and I couldn't arrest those who were suspicious, after all, they didn't know what was going on, so they would only say that I was indiscriminate behind my back, and I delayed a lot of time in this matter, I guess the person who disappeared probably escaped from the barracks, and I checked the barracks travel records, but I still found nothing, No one has ever gone out today or yesterday, and things are stuck here! ”

Long Baiyu closed his eyes decadently and tilted his head, and spoke with a little weakness: "Don't mention this, don't mention this, did the National Teacher clean up for Wei Jing?" When are you going to let him go? ”

Wei Jing, who was suddenly mentioned by name, suddenly raised his head, and without speaking, he looked at the National Teacher with Long Baiyu.

The national teacher raised his hand and waved his chopsticks, and said twice, and filled a mouthful of tea with some urgency, and said after a while: "Okay, I calculated, it is expected that if Wei Jing goes to Kyoto, it is best to ride a horse, so that at most two or three days can arrive at the place, as long as the sky is beautiful, do not make a rain or something, when you return, you can rush back in five or six days, alas, it is bitter for you, young man, you go back and forth, your body will definitely not be able to bear it, when you come back, I will boil something to make up for you!" The National Teacher's eyes kept on Wei Jing, and he told him bitterly.

Wei Jing was flattered and hurriedly said that he was also busy with the military camp, which was within his duty, and he didn't dare to say that it was hard.

"Tut-tut, look at it, look at it, how good this kid is, Baiyu! Be nice to others! The credit is great!

The National Teacher pretended to be unhappy and accused Long Baiyu of neglecting others, but he was like this, and Wei Jing didn't know what kind of virtue he was, and he was still trembling and taking the words of the National Teacher to heart.

Long Baiyu obviously didn't eat him, he himself was upset now, the joke of the national teacher was not interesting at all in his opinion, he said a few words perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, what are you talking about, Wei Jing hurry up without delay, you don't have anything important to do, it's better to hurry tomorrow!" ”

Wei Jing replied solemnly, "Well, okay, my subordinates also want to go early and return early to relieve the worries of the military camp." ”

Long Baiyu nodded, then lowered his eyes, now things are developing in a good direction step by step, I hope Wei Jing can travel smoothly!

He took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, and inadvertently thought that this was a good start, and there should be no more stubble.

The main thing has been arranged, and Mu Zichu mentioned the things he is most concerned about again.

Mu Zichu thought that since they couldn't find anything in the barracks, it was better to go to Yancheng to investigate, maybe they would get clues, if they would only blindly hover in one place, naturally there would be no huge progress.

The National Teacher also agreed to his proposal, anyway, there is nothing to do recently, why can't you go out to play under the guise of public and private affairs? Why not!

Immediately, he said, "Yes! Tomorrow, Wei Jing and our soldiers will be divided into two ways, Baiyu, you will continue to stay in the barracks, anyway, there will be no chaos, Zichu will be handed over to me, how about it? The National Teacher smiled like a flower, and happily asked the opinions of the others.

Seeing that his smile was so bright, Long Baiyu had to nod his head.

"So be it."

On the second day, Mu Zichu and the National Teacher left the barracks very early according to the original plan.

But when he went out, Mu Zichu didn't know for what reason, and when he clearly understood the travel process, he asked the guards if they could be anonymous.

The guards were impartial and resolutely did not allow this to happen.

Mu Zichu asked the guard soldier again, is there only the two of them on duty, or is it a rotational execution? The soldier gave him an inexplicable look and said, Rotation.

At this point, Mu Zichu was satisfied with writing his name and that of the National Teacher, and left.

Mu Zichu naturally had other plans to ask the soldier back and forth, in the barracks Long Baiyu was not responsible for arranging soldiers to be on duty, so it was useless to ask Long Baiyu about some things, if Long Baiyu turned around and asked the adjutant Ma who was in charge, and revealed something because of this, it would really be worth the loss.

Therefore, in this state of no security, Mu Zichu was more willing to take this opportunity to interrogate these soldiers unexpectedly.

The National Teacher also mentioned this incident on the way to Yancheng, and asked Mu Zichu if he suspected these people of bribing in private, so he deliberately tested them.

Mu Zichu said with great certainty: "Since these people are on duty in rotation, then the emergence of this status quo will be unavoidable, Long Baiyu may not understand these little tricks when he stays in the barracks all the year round, but you and I stay in Kyoto all the year round, some things have long become tacit things, and those filthy things are indeed inconvenient to blurt out and listen to Long Baiyu, and these things are mentioned to him, if he stupidly runs to ask, then it is really a bad thing!" ”

He paused: "There is definitely no shortage of money-eyed guys among these soldiers, it's just that the two of us met today are more conscientious, but they don't mean that the soldiers in the entire barracks will have such quality, there will always be one or two bad rats who spoil a good pot of soup, isn't it!" ”

He looked at the National Teacher, and saw that after the National Teacher heard his words, a shallow smile gradually appeared on his lips, it seems that the National Teacher also thinks the same, after all, the two of them always agree on some things.

After the two arrived in Yancheng, the Yancheng guards asked them to hand over things that could prove their identities, Mu Zichu and the national teacher handed over the sign given by Long Baiyu at the same time, everyone in the military camp seemed to have one, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but just took the opportunity to ask the doorman about the recent process outside of them, there was no one else.

The expression on the guard's face became more and more indifferent, Xu was annoyed by his chattering appearance, and shouted at Mu Zichu: "Hurry up, hurry up, there is no one else, you go in quickly!" Hurry up in the back! ”

At the end, he also pushed Mu Zichu.

Mu Zichu smiled and patted the dust on his body, didn't care about it in a good temper, took back the sign and hung it on his waist, and pulled the national teacher to hurry away, it was unexpectedly cold in the city, and in fact, it was also very cold all the way here, but I don't know what was going on here, it was even colder than in the barracks.

It's rare to see even a row of stalls in the city, most of them are one in the west and one in the east, and the weather today is also unsatisfactory, the gloomy appearance, the black and oppressive dark clouds are suspended in the air, Mu Zichu is worried that if this continues, maybe when the rain will fall, this is really not good, they did not prepare an umbrella when they traveled.

After Long Baiyu finished some miscellaneous things, it was almost the hour, when he was bored, when he suddenly called a soldier from outside to report that a trader-like person was waiting outside the barracks, and wanted to see someone who could take care of things.

After speaking, the soldier who reported raised his eyes and looked at Long Baiyu's reaction, and then lowered his head, and did not dare to wait for the order, you must know that the other lieutenants have things in their hands, and there is also an idle lieutenant general, he is notoriously difficult to mess with, so he might as well come to this new general to try his luck, General Long must agree to go! The soldier couldn't help but pray in his heart.

"There's a vendor?" Long Baiyu asked suspiciously, a little unconvinced.

"That's right, it's indeed a trader, and he also brought a lot of goods, but unfortunately it was tightly covered, and his subordinates didn't see what those things were, and it was strange to say that the trader who took the lead didn't look like a merchant with a copper smell."

Long Baiyu's eyebrows rose upwards after hearing the words of the soldiers, and then smiled contemptuously.

Naturally, it can't be an ordinary trader, which ordinary trader has the courage to come to the very disciplined military center to sell.

Long Baiyu laughed and said, "Did you ask where those people came from?" What are you going to sell to the barracks? ”

As soon as the soldier heard him say this, he hurriedly glared at him, and said excitedly: "Asked, asked, the leading vendor said that there was someone he knew in the barracks, and that person asked him to bring something, and I asked who that person was, but he didn't say, he didn't say it, he didn't dare to ask more questions when he said this, and I quickly asked the general to preside over the overall situation!" ”

This soldier has a pair of big eyes, and he looks bright, ah is a man with vision, and he is not blind with such big eyes.

Long Baiyu stretched his waist, didn't dare to delay, got up from the chair and came to the big-eyed soldier, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You did a good job, where are they?" ”

The soldier had a look of joy on his face and quickly turned his head to lead the way.

Long Baiyu had guessed all the possibilities along the way, but when he saw that person with his own eyes, he immediately found that he had no way to overlap that person with anyone he knew.

The person in front of him obviously couldn't be a vendor, how could the vendor give people such a chilling feeling.

And this is a military camp, are these people lacking hearts? You can't be so presumptuous if you have acquaintances!

Long Baiyu's mind turned a thousand times, and he looked at the man for a long time, and the other party was also looking at him, and after half a ring, Long Baiyu saw that he had no sign of opening his mouth, so he could only open the situation by himself.

"Where did the gentleman come from? How did you choose to stay in such a remote place? ”

Long Baiyu threw out a question, this person is indeed extraordinary, and seeing the clothes he is wearing, the hair crown he wears on his head, and even the jade ring around his waist, he should be a master with a good family background, and the least etiquette problem should still be there!

Long Baiyu raised his eyebrows and waited for him to answer.

However, he couldn't help but think in his heart: these people in front of him were blocked outside, but their attitude was still unhurried, if they weren't completely sure, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this, who is the person they rely on? It's really curious.

"I'm just here to fulfill my promise, but I happened to hear that a friend is here, just in time to visit, can you help me exchange for Mu Zichu Mu Gongzi? He should be here, how did he hear that I was here, but he didn't show up? ”

The man smiled reluctantly, but he answered Long Baiyu's question.

However, the fact that the friend he said referred to Mu Zichu was really surprising, I really didn't expect that after Long Baiyu lowered his head and thought about the possibility of this matter, his attitude began to soften, but he still asked this person with some doubts: "Haha, I didn't expect it to be his old friend, I was disrespectful, so Mr. was entrusted by him to come here on purpose?" Does Mr. have a token given by Mu Zichu in his hand? ”

Since it was Mu Zichu who asked someone to come, it was impossible for him not to even give a proof, and this person must have something in his hand as a token.

If he can't come up with something, it's still a problem to let them in, even if he mentions Mu Zichu's name, it's useless.

Although Long Baiyu's face has eased a lot, there are still scheming in his heart.

"Yes, I have the waist card given by the Mu family here, you and Mu Gongzi seem to be quite familiar, and you don't think it's strange to mention the name, I think you should know this waist card."

The man didn't know if he had been holding this thing, or if he had taken it out of somewhere, anyway, Long Baiyu only saw him reach over, and when Long Baiyu took over the waist card, there was a little residual temperature on it.
