Although Yao Heier was drowsy, she repeatedly reminded herself that she must remember to get up early tomorrow, this is a guest at someone else's house, and she can't be laughed at. But when she opened her eyes again, the bright moonlight outside the window had turned into bright and brilliant sunlight.

Bright dazzling, brilliant dazzling.

Yao Hei'er secretly screamed in her heart, according to the brilliance of the sun, it was enough to conclude that the hour was not early. She hurriedly turned over and sat up, only to find that the rough brown clothes that hung on the hanger yesterday were gone. In place of brown dress, there was a women's dress with fine embroidery.

After hesitating for a moment, Yao Hei'er had to put on this set of lotus lotus color robes embroidered with a hundred butterflies wearing flower patterns on the hem.

Mrs. Kou was sitting under the corridor of the courtyard, teaching her daughter embroidery, and when she saw Yao Hei'er walking out in women's clothes, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she smiled and said, "Sister, you dress up like this!" Seeing that Yao Hei'er didn't comb her hair, she knew that her arm was inconvenient, so she shouted: "Lingzuo, come and help this——"

Yao Hei'er hurriedly said: "Madam, my surname is Yao." ”

Mrs. Kou smiled and said, "But, I forgot, you said it yesterday." Lingzuo, come and help Miss Yao comb her hair, bring my makeup box, pick out a few pieces of jewelry for Miss Yao to wear, and let the kitchen bring the meal. ”

Yao Hei'er smiled apologetically: "Madam, just because I was tired of running on the road, I was sleepy for a while, and I got up late, so that Mrs. could laugh." ”

Madame Kou waved her hand without hesitation and said, "What's this?" I know that, too. Therefore, I told the girls not to disturb you, and I ordered someone to wash your clothes, so you can rest assured. ”

The little girl named Lingzuo had already brought a basin of hot water, and Yao Hei'er washed her face.

Lingzuo took Mrs. Kou's makeup box again, combed her hair, and asked, "Girl, is it hanging hair or coiled hair?" ”

Yao Hei'er hesitated for a moment, and had to say softly: "Coiled hair!" ”

Looking at Ling Zuo's hair for Yao Hei'er, Mrs. Kou asked, "Sister, who is your husband's family?" ”

Yao Hei'er panicked in her heart, she was not prepared for this, she didn't expect to change the woman's hairstyle, exposing her flaws, she was busy calming down, and said half-truthfully: "My husband's family has left, just because I gave birth to three daughters, I was disgusted by my husband's family, and I returned to my parents' house." "I am secretly calculating again, and these words can be considered to match yesterday's words.

Mrs. Kou said apologetically: "It's all my nonsense that caused my sister's sadness, don't be surprised." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Kou believed it, Yao Hei'er felt a little relieved, and hurriedly said, "What did Mrs. say?" Madame and the General are my saviors, how can I hide anything? Even if Madame doesn't ask, I'll say it. ”

Mrs. Kou smiled: "Sister, don't mention anything that saves lives in the future, my husband eats the court's money, and he should ensure the peace of the local people, but it was their dereliction of duty that they did not wipe out those bandits, so you were frightened." ”

Yao Hei'er was about to speak, when she suddenly saw a mother-in-law come over and said with a smile: "Madam, my lord asked me to ask what this girl's aunt's family name is, what is her name, how old she is, who is in the family, and what she does for a living; What is the girl's surname and what is her name, and say it in as much detail as possible, so that the girl can find someone. ”

"This ......" Yao Hei'er hesitated for a while, and said secretly in her heart: "I have to make up a lie, they naturally can't find it." Wait for a few days for my injuries to heal, and then look for them yourself, that's it. ”

The plan has been decided, so he said: "Mom, you have to go back to the general, my aunt's family name is Yang, about fifty years old, and she has a son. My surname is Yao, and my nickname is Cuiling. ”

The mother-in-law said again: "Do you remember the girl?" What does your aunt do at home? ”

Yao Hei'er hesitated for a moment and said, "I was at home first, and I heard my mother say that my aunt's house sells groceries. Now I don't know if I still do this. ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "I wrote it down, so I'll go back to the master." With that, he gave another salute, then walked to the outside study, and according to Yao Hei'er's words, he told Kou Yue word for word.

Kou Yue nodded and said, "You go and tell this girl again, I will go to General Li's mansion, where there is the household registration book of the whole city, waiting for me to order someone to check it." The mother-in-law agreed, and hurriedly went in again.

This Kou Yue dressed neatly, took two small servants to follow, and rode to General Li's mansion.

Li Sui, the general at the edge of the town, was also one of the heroes who fought with the emperor. After the establishment of the Xu State, the frontier was not stable, the first emperor thought about it, only the brave and good fighting Li Sui, could take on the responsibility of guarding the border, so Li Sui was named the general of the town to guard the most important border town of the Xu State.

Since Li Sui arrived at the frontier, he has fought dozens of battles with the bordering Hu State, large and small, and the Hu State has been convinced, and he is willing to make relations with Xu Guo a country without disturbing each other, and this Jiyan City can be regarded as stable. Rao is like this, and there are often unruly people on the border of Hu State, crossing the border and looting.

These people who committed crimes were always arrested by Li Sui, and sent envoys to Hu State to condemn Hu Jun, and Hu Jun also said helplessly: "Please reply to General Li, I have ordered many times that the people are not allowed to loot your country, but which country does not have a few disobedient people?" I can't even manage it. Let General Li dispose of it, that is. ”

Li Sui had no choice but to deal with the captured Hu Min according to the law, and on the other hand, he sent people to strictly guard the border and inspect every day to avoid such an incident.

The mansion of Li Sui, the general on the edge of the town, covers a very wide area, the first half is used to deal with official affairs, and the second half is the residence of Li Sui's family. At this time, Li Sui, because he had nothing to do recently, was practicing swords in the general's mansion, and heard a report that the ranger general Kou Yue had arrived, so he hurriedly collected the moves, returned the sword in his hand to the sheath, picked up the towel on the shelf, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Please!" ”

At this time, Kou Yue was wearing a moon-white robe, tied with colorful silk tape, and tied with a light blue turban, not like a general who fought on the battlefield, but like a Confucian student. Pacing in, seeing Li Sui, bowed and saluted.

Li Sui smiled slyly and said, "General Kou, I heard that you saved a woman yesterday?" Pretty looking? ”

Kou Yue couldn't help blushing and said with a smile: "Why does the general listen to people's nonsense? Because yesterday, when I was on patrol at the order of the general, I happened to encounter bandits and looters, can I still sit idly by? What does it matter if she is male or female? ”

Li Sui invited Kou Yue into the study, and said with a smile: "This is natural! It's just that since you saved someone, why did you let her live in your house again? ”

The blush on Kou Yue's face slowly faded, took the tea from the little servant, and said with a smile: "Since the general knows everything, doesn't he know that she is injured?" Although this Jiyan City is large, there are all medical halls, but there are no female doctors. Only in the past years, he often bandaged the wounds of the last general, cleaned and changed the dressing, and knew a little about pharmacology, so he had to take her home and hand her over to the cheap to clean up. Now, she's talking to the bite, and the general doesn't believe it, so just go to my house and have a look? ”

Li Sui waved his hand and said with a smile: "We have been in the same place for many years, what kind of person are you, don't I know yet?" It's just a little curious, why are you suddenly so enthusiastic about a woman. ”

Kou Yue's face slowly became solemn, and he said slowly: "General, in fact, there is another reason, I think this woman has an outstanding temperament, and she is definitely not an ordinary woman, but she is dressed in disarray, which makes me feel at ease." She didn't look like an ordinary woman, but she said that her aunt's house was selling groceries, which became more and more suspicious. Therefore, when I came to the general, I must find out the reason. ”

Li Sui looked up at the bow and arrow on the wall, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you suspect that this woman is a spy of a neighboring country?" ”

Kou Yue said: "It may not be the case, just be more careful, it's always right." She told me that she came to Jiyan City to look for relatives, and said the surnames of her relatives, and the general had already ordered someone to build a household register of all the people in Jiyan City, so it was better to bring this household registration book, let's check it carefully, if there is such a family, it is naturally true; If there is no such person, we must find out! ”

Li Sui's face also became solemn, he slapped his hand heavily on the table, and said to the servant next to him: "Go, please come to Lord Tang!" ”

Lord Tang, named Tang Ji. When Li Sui was fighting everywhere in his early years, he was the most effective strategist around Li Sui, and he has been following Li Sui for the past twenty or thirty years. When the first emperor ordered him to enter Beijing as an official, he refused, saying that he couldn't give up his brothers who had lived and died together for many years, so he stayed in Jiyan City with Li Sui. Because he was originally a civilian, after Jiyan City settled down, Li Sui ordered him to be in charge of the household registration in the city, as well as military salaries, grain and grass, etc., and was the person Li Sui trusted and relied on the most.

Not long after the little guy went out, Tang Ji was wearing a light cyan robe, shaking a goose feather fan in his hand, he walked in unhurriedly, and gave Li Sui a salute, Kou Yue and Tang Ji met each other again, and Li Suifang told Tang Ji Kou Yue's words one by one.

Tang Ji smiled slightly, shook the goose feather fan in his hand, and said: "Don't worry, general, I will order someone to investigate, but this Jiyan City, in addition to the soldiers, also has a population of tens of thousands, and there is only one surname, so it is inevitable to check it carefully-" After a little calculation, he said: "Wait for the evening, I will reply to the general." ”

Kou Yue hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "There is Lord Lao Tang!" ”

Tang Ji smiled slightly, twisted his beard, arched his hand at Li Sui and Kou Yue, and then turned around and went out slowly.
