Chapter 485: Ami (4)
"Originally, I thought that Ami wanted to use our power to blend in with the audience so that he could assassinate the king or do other unfavorable things, but now it seems that I was wrong about this."
Liu Muzhi blew his beard disdainfully, and muttered: "Ami has no malice, I am a warlock, I may not be able to calculate the destiny of heaven and the future, but how can I not calculate the hearts of the people?" ”
Hagi Niang ignored him and continued: "Now it seems that he may have taken advantage of our inattention to make an article elsewhere, such as the tribute we offered to the king, such as the chariot and horse, for example, it may have bought other servants, so, after a while and wait for Huaijing and Xu Lang to come back, I suggest that everyone check the tribute together, to see if there is any seal passing, or if there is anything unusual, and before leaving for the palace, it is necessary to check the chariots and horses, and check the accompanying guards, coachmen, and servants." ”
When the slave heard this, he nodded again and again, and praised: "Sister Hagi is right, the heart of defense is indispensable, although that Ami seems to have a pure character, after all, he has also lived by our side for nearly ten days, and no matter whether he has any different intentions, according to Sister Hagi's thoughts, it is also very necessary to check the inspection that should be checked." ”
Although Liu Muzhi was very disdainful, he didn't want to object anymore, so he just said in a low voice: "It's easy to say, but we haven't even seen the shadow of the silver mine in the past few days, let alone heard anything, but we still have to waste time doing these trivial things......
When Hagi Niang heard this, she also asked helplessly: "Isn't the terrain of Kunchuan marked on the map, where there may be mines, and you have visited those places?" ”
Liu Muzhi took out the map in his arms, pointed to the small triangles above and said: "You see, here, here, and here, are the most likely places that Liu Lang and I observed, but when I went to the nearby villages and asked, they all said that they had never heard any loud noises around, and you also know that this silver mine is not different from jade or something, and it is impossible to use pure manpower when mining, it must be blasted with saltpeter and other things, and it is impossible not to make a sound." ”
This is something I didn't expect before, and if you really want to visit the mine, you can't always go up to others and ask, "Hello, is there a silver mine near here?" "This ancient silver mine is like a banknote printing factory, it should be surrounded by an army, if the people know about it, wouldn't it be a mess?
Liu Muzhi's question was so tactful, it was also a way, but the most important thing was to figure out the distribution of the military garrison in Kunchuan.
Hagi Niang said what she thought, but Jinu and Liu Muzhidu both shook their heads.
Jinu carefully analyzed to her: "Although we have all thought of it, it should be to explore the reality of Kunchuan's troops, but this matter is more difficult than finding the silver mine. ”
"Since ancient times, those who use troops have known that in the battle between the two armies, in addition to morale and armament, the most important thing is to understand the intelligence of both sides, so the location of the military camps in each place is very secretive, on the one hand, there are many places where they can be stationed, on the other hand, each military camp is far away from the hustle and bustle, either in the mountains or in the woods, and it is not something that can be found casually."
"If we recklessly inquire about similar things, I am afraid that before we see the king, we will be secretly arrested for espionage, spy and other crimes, if we are found out at the same time, then even the city lord of Xu will be implicated by us?"
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, isn't there no way at all?
Hagi Niang only felt that she was impetuous, and it was difficult to think about it calmly.
It's all to blame on that Ami, who made himself look ahead and backward, worried about this and that, but he was a little out of shape.
It stands to reason that he should have thought of such a simple reason, and how could he say such a childish proposal.
Now it seems that it has not been a few days since the visit to the king, and these days are the big festivals of the Luo tribe, thinking that I can ensure that the matter of entering the palace will not go wrong, it is already thankful, how can I still have the time to think about other things?
She sighed faintly, and said helplessly to the slave: "I'm sorry, I thought things were too simple, I only thought that I could come to Kunchuan and have a chance, but now it seems that I am really too optimistic......"
Jinu was not very discouraged, and comforted her: "Actually, Liu Muzhi and I have also thought about it, if you really can't find where the silver mine is, it is also possible to fabricate a place casually, after all, Nanzhong is too far away from Jiankang, even if we really find it, we can just tell Your Majesty a location, Your Majesty may not send someone to Nanzhong to confirm, as long as you can believe our words, it is enough, if you send someone to raid the valley in Nankang County, you will definitely be able to find some clues, so that Even if he didn't pull Huan Xuan off the horse in one fell swoop, it would inevitably hurt his muscles and bones. ”
Yes? Is that okay?
Hagi Niang looked at Liu Muzhi suspiciously, Liu Muzhi nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, I thought about it before, Wang Ya has always acted impatiently, if he gets the truth, he will definitely start with Huan Xuan immediately without waiting for verification, so this mine, we can find ourselves the best, even if we can't find it, as long as we have come to Nanzhong, it can be regarded as a complete merit." ”
In this way, it seems to make some sense, for those high-ranking officials in Beijing, they just need an excuse to rectify Huan Xuan, as for the truth and fiction, who cares so much?
In the evening, Xu Mu, who was full of wine and food, finally came back drunk, and after hearing Hagi Niang say that someone might be unfavorable to the king, she couldn't help but shudder with fright, and woke up almost immediately, and asked stupidly, "What should I do then?" ”
Hagi Niang was so smoked by his wine that she almost didn't turn her back on it, so she hurriedly hid her face sideways and said: "You don't have to socialize anymore these days, gather all the house slaves you absolutely trust, and take advantage of the fact that there are still a few days left in the audience to carefully comb the things to be offered, utensils, and the people accompanying you." ”
Xu Mu said in embarrassment: "So many car tributes, do you have to check them?" In previous years, I gave it like this, and nothing went wrong......"
Halfway through his speech, he immediately remembered that he had said something similar on the hillside outside the city, and he was slapped in the face every minute.
He bowed earnestly and said solemnly: "As you say, I will definitely order someone to inspect each piece one by one, please rest assured." ”
As Hagi Niang expected, on the day of the "Kusi" Festival, the streets of Kunchuan were simply crowded, and the Luo people in the suburbs and neighbors had gathered in Kunchuan, if they didn't live in a post station, today's inn is almost expensive and can't afford to live at all, and the price is more than three or four times that of weekdays.
