It was slowly getting dark, and a few soldiers of the Yang family who went out to check on them also came back.

Not surprisingly, they told Tang Ji and Kou Yue that there was no qualified family at all, although there was a family surnamed Yang, only a widow and a son, but this old lady had no sisters, let alone nieces, and had never done a business of selling sundries.

The officials who searched for household registration also ended their work and did not find anyone else surnamed Yang.

Kou Yue looked at Tang Ji, Tang Ji thoughtfully shook the goose feather fan in his hand, and his eyebrows were twisted.

Li Sui listened to the report of the two, pondered for a long time, and said to Kou Yue: "Do you think this woman may be a spy?" ”

Kou Yue hesitated, he wanted to change his words, saying that Miss Yao was not a spy, but if she said it, how could she get it back?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Sui said, "In this way, you bring this woman tomorrow, I'll take a look, ask her a few words, and I can always ask something." ”

For Li Sui's request, Kou Yue couldn't refuse, after all, this matter was caused by himself, and the doubts were also raised by himself, so he had to agree to it.

When Yao Hei'er heard Kou Yue say that the general of the town would ask him in person tomorrow, his heart was also beating suddenly. Li Sui, the general at the edge of the town, is one of the few generals in Xu Guo and one of the generals with outstanding military achievements. In previous years, Li Sui's name has been heard more than once. I vaguely remember that when I was seven or eight years old, I saw him once. When he was a teenager, Li Sui also went to Beijing once, and his father invited him to the house for a drink, but that time, because he had already passed the house, he did not go to see him.

Refusal is impossible.

I only blame myself for being careless yesterday, and casually said my real surname, I knew that it would make trouble with the general at the edge of the town, so I should have made up a surname casually.

Fortunately, Yao Hei'er, who was seven or eight years old, and Yao Hei'er, who is now in his twenties, have very different appearances. Tomorrow, I will have to come to block the soldiers, cover the water and cover the earth, or grit my teeth, saying that I have misremembered; or hint to the other party that his mother told him that he was wrong; Or think that my aunt's family may have moved away.

The next morning, when the weather was gloomy, a gust of wind whirled into the yard, tearing at the branches, shaking the window lattices, and finally rolling up the flower pots on the wooden shelves, and slamming them to the ground. The moment the flower pot fell to the ground, it made a loud and heart-shaking sound.

Kou Yue said quietly: "Miss Yao, you haven't seen such a strong wind in your hometown, right?" Oh, by the way, where are you from? ”

Yao Hei'er bent down lightly and bowed slightly, and said with a light smile: "General, my family is from Anshun Mansion." I've never had such a strong wind. ”

Kou Yue nodded and said gently: "I have prepared a sedan chair for you, just at the back corner door, and I will follow behind on horseback." You don't have to be afraid, although General Li has been fighting in the field for many years, he is actually the most kind. Whatever he asks, you just answer truthfully. He also wants to help you find your relatives as soon as possible. ”

Yao Hei'er showed a trace of imperceptible helplessness on her lips, and said in a low voice: "The general's order, I wrote it down." ”

Yao Hei'er's sedan chair had just entered the general's mansion at the edge of the town, when a huge raindrop crackled down, and the street instantly became a vast river. It was as gloomy as night.

In the big flower hall, Li Sui wore civilian clothes, walked to the window, silently looked at the pouring rain outside the window, and ordered someone to hold the lamp. A grandmother in her fifties, holding a red candle in her hand, came up and lit the nine-branch lotus pottery lamp next to the hall.

Li Sui in front of the window saw Kou Yue bringing a petite woman along the gallery, so he hurriedly returned to his seat and sat down, turned around, saw the grandmother who was holding a candle and was about to walk away, and hurriedly said: "Wen-Wen, why are you?" You just have to laugh with your lady in the room, and what are you doing outside? ”

Mama Wen lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Master, because Chen Sima's birthday is coming, you just instructed Mrs. to prepare a birthday gift, because Mrs. doesn't know where those few dark woven gold python satin are, let me ask the master." ”

Li Sui sighed: "Even so, just send the little girl to ask, what do you want to run?" She's really taking you for you—"

Mama Wen quickly interrupted Li Sui's words and said, "Master, because everyone is busy, I want to come by myself." I am now a person from the house, so naturally I still do things for my wife. ”

Li Sui glanced out the window again, Kou Yue was getting closer and closer, and hurriedly said, "You tell Madame, I'll order someone to bring it to her later." Someone's coming, you should go in quickly. ”

Mama Wen lowered her eyebrows and agreed, and hurriedly went to the inner courtyard from the back door.

Kou Yue had already walked in with Yao Hei'er.

Seeing Yao Hei'er for the first time, Li Sui's heart moved, why is this woman a little familiar between her eyebrows and eyes?

The woman bowed down and said, "I've seen the general on the edge of the town." ”

Li Sui was silent, and the woman knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head or get up.

Kou Yue reminded in a low voice: "General! Checkmate! ”

Li Sui seemed to have come to his senses at this time, let out a soft "oh", and said gently: "Girl, you stand up and repeat what you said to General Kou. ”

Yao Hei'er whispered a "yes" word, got up from the ground, and said the words about his life experience and the reason for entering Jiyan City again.

Li Sui nodded lightly and said, "Are you from the capital?" ”

Yao Hei'er hurriedly denied it: "General, the little woman is from Anshun Mansion. ”

Li Sui shook his head and said, "No, you are from the capital." Although I have been in Jiyan City for many years, I have been to the capital several times. Your accent is obviously from Hancheng. All the things you said to General Kou are also false, right? ”

Yao Hei'er panicked, but he didn't expect that he would be recognized by the general on the edge of the town as soon as he opened his mouth, could he actually recognize himself? Yao Hei'er couldn't stabilize Li Sui's psychology, so she had to lower her head and say nothing.

Kou Yue next to him also felt a strange aura, and he didn't know where the problem was, but he looked at Li Sui at a loss, and then at Yao Hei'er, wanting to defend Yao Hei'er for a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Sui picked up the tea on the table, lifted the lid, but didn't drink it, just stared at the cup, and said again for a long time: "You said that your aunt's family name is Yang, and your grandmother's family name is what?" ”

Yao Hei'er made up casually: "General, my grandmother's surname is Zhong. ”

Li Sui put down the teacup, stood up, put his hands behind his back, circled around Yao Hei'er, who was standing with his head down, and said, "Girl, I have a spare room here, you wait a little inside, I still have something to say to General Kou." When we're done, you'll go home with General Kou. ”

Yao Hei'er didn't expect this general to come out again suddenly, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while. She looked at Kou Yue, and Kou Yue was also at a loss.

Not allowing the two of them to think too much, Li Sui shouted: "Someone! A little guy came in response, and Li Sui said: "I don't need you, go to the inner house and call a little girl." ”

After a while, a handsome little girl walked out, and Li then ordered: "You will lead this woman to the ear room next to the courtyard of the lady and sit down for a while." The little girl agreed, nodded to Yao Hei'er, and said with a smile: "Girl, please come with me." ”

Yao Hei'er gave another salute, and was just about to follow the little girl inside, Li Sui said again: "Stop!" He walked over and whispered to the little girl, "You ask Mama Wen to bring a cup of tea to this girl." ”

The little girl didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly smiled: "Master, what is this?" Why bother Mama Wen, it's the same if I send it. ”

Mama Wen? Yao Hei'er's heart moved.

Li Sui's face sank, and he said, "Do as I tell you!" ”

Seeing that the old man was angry, the little girl didn't dare to refute, so she hurriedly agreed, and stretched out her tongue at Yao Hei'er again, and said with a smile: "Girl, please here!" ”

Kou Yue looked suspiciously at Yao Hei'er and followed the little girl in, and then looked at Li Sui with a solemn face, and said eagerly: "General......"

Li Sui waved his hand, stopped his words, called Kou Yue's words, and said, "Duqian, you have been by my side for more than ten years, right?" ”

Kou Yue hurriedly stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Exactly!" Over the years, the last general has been cultivated by generals. Even the martial arts of the last general and the moves of arranging the troops are also guided by the general. The general is almost the teacher of the last general! ”

Li Sui smiled and said: "It's okay at this time, let's just talk about the past, and you can sit down and talk." ”

Kou Yue scratched his scalp, sat down again, and said with a smile: "At the end of the year, the general was just a nobody, and he just received a letter from his father, saying that his mother was seriously ill and was crying sadly. Later, when the general heard about my family's affairs, he immediately gave me half a month's leave, and gave me fifty taels of silver to see my mother. The general has not only the grace of reinvention for me, but also for my mother, as well as the grace of saving my life. ”

Li Sui smiled and said: "People say, loyal ministers and filial sons, you are worried about your mother's illness, it is the filial son's doing, how can I not help?" If you are a filial son, you must be a loyal minister, and it will naturally be helpful to me to carry you. Well, it's really good now, you've become my best fighter! ”

Kou Yue faintly understood in his heart, and said: "If the general has something to order the last general, the last general will definitely die." ”

Li Sui looked at the room and saw that there was no one in the room, his face became more and more strange, and he said in a low voice: "If I do something against the holy will, what should you do?" ”

Kou Yue was shocked in his heart, hurriedly stood up again, and said unswervingly: "The general has always been above board, I believe that if the general violates the holy will, he will definitely be helpless." The last general is naturally a move to defend the general to the death! ”

Li then stroked his beard with satisfaction and nodded.

Faintly, there seemed to be two exclamations coming from the backyard. But it was soon muffled by the sound of the rain.
