"The fur should be padded under the mattress, otherwise the adults will sneeze. Oh... By the way, if the adult falls asleep before the hour, then when you want a child, get up and see, he always likes to kick the quilt. And also... Adults have a problem with eating cold food, don't get used to him..."

These, Wang Xu has heavy official duties, and will temporarily live in the government for a few days. Aji came here today to arrange these things. While untying the heavy burden, she explained the matter to Qiu Youzijing.

"I remember that the charcoal basin was taken out of the hall and extinguished after the adults fell asleep."

It seems that Wang Xu's details in life, Aji knows a lot. This surprised Qiu Youzijing. After all, the couple had only been married for a year. To understand a person to such an extent seemed to her to be incredible. Qiu Youzijing couldn't help but ask rhetorically:

"Why didn't Madame move in with you? The servant is clumsy, wouldn't it be better to have you by your side to arrange for care? ”

"This Zaifu has always been a place for public officials to run errands, not a home. As a woman, of course, you have to take care of your home. ”

Everything is done. Aji smiled shyly. She took Qiu Youzijing's hand and repeated a few words of advice, and then left with confidence. She walked out of the inner door, avoiding the crowd in the courtyard and stopping for a moment in the verandah outside the West Wing. Through the half-open window, the girl saw her husband stretching in front of the window. She watched silently for a moment, then withdrew her gaze with a happy smile on her face. Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, the slender steps are like chasing the light and shadow of the passing of time, and the tall figure of the woman disappears at the end of the market.

Halfway through, Wang Xu stepped into the bedroom and fell on the bed like a puddle of mud. It had been a long time since he had experienced the fatigue of overdrawing his mental and physical strength at the same time, lying on the soft mattress and never wanting to move again. At this moment, a beautiful woman dressed in pink quietly walked towards him.

"My lord! The servant is clothed for you. ”

Wang Xu was startled and jumped out of bed. Seeing that the person who came was Qiu Zijing, he said impatiently:

"Hey! How did you get in here? Walk silently? ”

"It's... The lady asked the maid to move into the ear room to take care of Da Rao. ”

The transept is connected to the main room and is not covered by doors or windows.

"So... I'll be back in two days, don't bother, go back to the house and rest." ”

The woman was a little cramped, and hurriedly retracted her hand back into her sleeve, and she stood there without making a sound, and she had no intention of leaving. It's not as straightforward as usual.。 Seeing this, Wang Xu's eyes became complicated.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

"Hmm... The servant saw Uncle Zhong Yin today. He ordered his servant to investigate the affairs of the school hall in detail, and also inquired about the movements of the garrison in the field ten days ago. ”

"Then you tell the truth. There's no need to tell me. ”

Qiu Youzijing's voice became weaker and weaker, and her soft and white fingers intertwined, hidden in the pink sleeves.

"But... Son-in-law... I've never been to the school, and I don't know what it's about. ”

"Poof... Hahaha... You are meticulous. Are you embarrassed to be a member of the Secret Spy Division? If Pang Zhong learned about this, he wouldn't be angry? ”

Where do spies ask for information from the person being watched? And it's still naked. Wang Xu leaned back and laughed when he heard this. When he saw that the woman's head was about to sink into her chest, she restrained her smile.

"Tomorrow morning you will pass. Find Mr. Zhai to take you around the school. If I need ghostwriting, I don't mind. ”

In a word, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing out loud. He thought that if he was lucky enough to be able to ghostwrite information for Qiu Youzijing, it would also be quite interesting. Then, the woman turned red and ran away. From Pang Zhong's inquiry about the situation of the garrison, Wang Xu probably guessed what the other party's inexplicable reminder today meant. It seems that something really happened to the country.

Sure enough, on the second day, the government received an official document from the Sikou Mansion. After the messenger entered the palace, he personally handed over the sealed official document to Wang Xu.

"Suno Zai! The king has an order, and after reading it, he will burn it on the spot. ”

Wang Xu heartily opened the sealed leather, and the official documents inside were actually written in silk silk. Things are very strange. He glanced at the messenger and was even more surprised. On weekdays, even the official documents issued by the secretary of state are at most sent to do these things. However, the five senses below the secretary of the liao actually sent a scribe to convey the official document, which shows that this matter is not simple.

It's useless to think too much, Wang Xu looked at it word by word, for fear of missing something. But after looking and looking, I didn't find any doorway. So he smiled and asked about the people.

"My lord, could it be that there will be a war in the south?"

"I don't know, I don't know, I asked. Let this matter not be publicized, lest it invite trouble. ”

Wang Xu was confused, and after burning the official document in front of Lairao, he waited until the other party left, and he went to the mansion of the lord of Yi. Since it's official business, there's no need to shy away from meeting Ji Lan. He first told the secret spy department about it, and then came to this strange official document.

"My lord! You arranged the matter of Yingze? ”

During the previous secret meeting, Ji Lan had mentioned that she would create chaos in the south and spread rumors that the Yue people would attack and defend her. Now that two hundred forbidden troops have died mysteriously in Yingze, how can Wang Xu not suspect that this matter is from Ji Lan's handwriting.

"No Sakura, I also know about the entry of the Yue people today."

"Could it be that Yue Guo really wants to go north to the Central Plains, and is ready to take the defense of the country first?"

Ji Lan frowned. After a moment, it was like something had come to mind.

"Have you heard anything about the soldiers lately?"

Five dollars? Five bucks?

Wang Xu looked confused. The girl Hui Zhilanxin, she can see that she doesn't know the name of the soldier. Subsequently, a little explanation.

"Wu Yuan was originally from Chu, and his father was the Taifu of the Third Duke of Chu. Later, the whole clan was killed by the king of Chu, and the soldiers fled to the state of Wu alone. King Wu took pity on his life experience and talent, and appointed the military member as the secretary. The soldiers thanked King Wu for his kindness, and later assisted him with his close friend Sun Wu to help him achieve the hegemony of the Southern King. ”

Hearing Sun Wu's name, Wang Xu probably guessed the identity of this soldier.

"Oh! It turned out to be Wu Zixu. ”

During the Spring and Autumn Period, men were usually given a name by their elders or teachers after performing the crown ceremony. Of course, the custom of giving a name is only popular in aristocratic circles, but there are exceptions. For example, some scholars from poor families will only have a trade name after they have achieved fame. And most of these names are given by well-known scholars or monarchs. Like an official title, it has a lot of weight.

In terms of character titles, those who serve other countries or are more traitorous will remove the name of the country from the title and change it to the same name as in later generations.

"Exactly. Some time ago, news came from the Qi State that the descendants of the Wu family were killed in the Qi State. If Fan Li's death is linked to the soldiers, it is not difficult to see that Gou Jian... Checkmate. ”

"Oh! I understand. The official document is the meaning of Wei Hou, no wonder he is so cautious, it turns out that he is afraid of offending Yue Guo. ”

The official document of the Sikou Mansion only mentions the entry of the Vietnamese and the strengthening of the garrison, but does not give clear instructions. For example, what should be done after the perpetrator is caught? It seems that Wei Hou is planning to go against the grain.

On second thought, Gou Jian was already recognized as the overlord, and there was no need to start a war before he died. Isn't this a pit for your own heir? Or, Gou Jian doesn't want his children and grandchildren to live too comfortably. Therefore, the national policy of going north to defend was set. Thinking of this, Wang Xu was frightened.

"It has to be like this. The new monarch of the Yue Kingdom wants to use the defense of the country to establish his authority. ”

He is so sure because after the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons in history, there was no Yue Kingdom. According to Wang Xu's guess, there must have been a big scuffle between countries during this time. Otherwise, how could the former southern hegemon disappear for no reason.

Looking at Wang Xu's rich facial expressions, Ji Lan burst out laughing.

"Hehe... Defend it! I thought you were smart. Can't you see that Gou Jian's move is to cut off the threat to the prince? The country of Yue will never raise troops to defend it. They... It's looking for someone. ”

Ji Lan's words pulled Wang Xu back from the panic. After calming down a little, he carefully considered the girl's meaning. A quarter of an hour has passed, and I still can't figure it out.

"Please make it clear."

"Sun Wuzi."

Since it was only a routine notice, Wang Xu should not stay too long. After finishing the conversation, he hurriedly left the Yi Lord's Mansion. On the way back to Nozaifu, he was very entangled and struggling.

The development of history and Ji Lan's speculation, which side is right, Wang Xu can't judge. In the previous life, no matter what kind of things he encountered, he would always face them calmly and solve them perfectly. Here, however, everything is unknown. If you want to maximize the effect of the scarce resources at hand, you can only prepare in advance. He didn't know the history of the late Spring and Autumn period, but the fact that Yue Guo had disappeared made him uneasy.

Wang Xu returned to the palace to finish his official duties, and it was already two minutes of time. He went to Mo Zhai's residence full of worries. Perhaps he couldn't let go of the potential connection between the reason for the disappearance of Yue Guo and Wei Guo, but along the way, he turned a deaf ear and just thought about it seriously. So much so that the courtyard close to Mo Zhai's house was awakened by a continuous loud noise. He could hear the sound of metal pounding against the wall, and his body shuddered and became confused.

These two wonders... What are you trying to do after black? The neighbor was really good-tempered, and no one scolded him. He shook his head helplessly. It is estimated that the bird is scary-looking, so no one dares to squeak.

Then, with a dry smile, he looked around and sneaked into the hospital. Carelessness in making friends is such a price. When I walked four or five steps closer to the door, the sound stopped abruptly. Immediately afterwards, there was a rapid sound of slapping on the wall in the building. Wang Xu pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Hurry! See? Is the figure upside down? ”

"Moment... Be... Be... It's upside down. ”

The bell-like voice of the fowl seemed to be a little muffled and stammering. The conversation between the two Rao made Wang Xu even more puzzled.

Figure? Handstand? Could it be that there is a third person in the house?

Thinking of this, he instantly had a new understanding of these two friends. Then, there was a disdainful knock on the door. After Mo Zhai heard the sound, he opened the door. Seeing Wang Xu coming, his eyebrows fluttered excitedly. Immediately, he raised his hand and hooked the other person's shoulder, and then strode towards the house.

"Hey, hey... I'll tell you, I've discovered a secret. Believe it or not? Scares you to death. ”

Wang Xu noticed the abnormality before he could open his mouth. He winked at him, and then closed the door. Wang Xu looked in the direction of the bird and saw a black curtain hanging on the door. The curtain was long and hung down to the ground. When he entered the house, he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was cold and that he hung a curtain to collect the wind.

When he saw the bird slippery bend down and carefully stuff the falling cloth horn into the crack in the door, Wang Xu's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head to look at Mo Zhai. The other party winked at him with an obscene face, and smiled very treacherously. Wang Xu looked around the house and found that all the windows were covered with black cloths, and he panicked.

"What are you doing here? Ghost storytelling? Add to the atmosphere? ”

There was an oil lamp on the desk, and the light of the bean light was unusually bright in the dark room.

"Huh... How could I be so boring? Brother Xu... Please..."

Mo Zhai raised his eyebrows, let go of the arm that hooked up with Wang Xu, and motioned for him to go to the next room. Wang Xu saw that there was also a black curtain hanging at the door of the room, and his face immediately turned pale.

"Don't go! You perverts! Is there someone hiding in the house? Want to scare me? No way..."

Recalling the conversation between the two Rao just now, Wang Xu couldn't help but swallow his saliva. In this dark room, do you like to watch the skirt? These two dead perverts.

"Slippery, you stay here. I'll take my brother in. Remember, don't get too close. ”

What do you mean? Don't get too close? Do you want to be disturbed?

"Brother Zhai! You and I are gentlemen's friends. It's not good for that. It's good to have something to say. ”

Wang Xu begged for mercy while being pushed by Mo Zhai towards the dark house.

"Don't be afraid! I'm here. ”

It's not that he's afraid of the dark, it's just that what happens when he enters the house? Mentally defenseless. Hearing Mo Zhai's comfort, goosebumps immediately popped up all over Wang Xu's body. However, when he opened the curtain and entered the room, he found that it was not as dark as he had imagined, and there was not even anything in the dimly lit room, except for a spot of light on one side of the wall. There seems to be nothing strange about it. The king looked at the point of light in bewilderment. It turned out to be a hole. Good end bet that a hole was carved out of the wall. He couldn't laugh or cry. When he was wondering about Mo Zhai's strange actions, his body was suddenly hugged by the other party. Wang Xu exclaimed in surprise.

"Your uncle! I'm straight, not a good man. ”

At the same time, Wang Xu, who was picked up in the air, spun around in place for half a circle.

"Male?"

An upside-down figure appeared on the wall behind him. Although the light and shadow were blurred, it was clear from the wide figure that it must be a bird on the side of the wall. At this moment, Wang Xu finally knew what these two goods were doing. He smiled awkwardly:

"Haha... I love the north wind. Playing mahjong, each has his own love. ”

Mo Zhai naturally didn't know what mahjong was. Rather than listening to Wang Xu explain new words, he was now more interested in sharing his findings with Wang Xu, and after a few seconds of dazedness, he returned to his state of excitement.

"Brother Xu remembers that he had been to his brother that day. Does light travel in a straight line? For this reason, I chiseled the wall to take light to prove it. I didn't expect it to be true. ”

"It's Mozi. Terrible... Awesome..."

Wang Xu rolled his eyes. When I was in school, the students were all looking for it. Not only will the parents collapse, but the property will also go crazy, right?

Then, he looked at the hole, his gaze moving upward.

"Brother Zhai! If you chisel the wall next time to prove it, confirm it first... Is the wall you chiseled load-bearing or not? ”

Mo Zhai is a master carpenter, and he can understand the structure of the house at a glance. He looked up the hole and saw that it was just above his bed. The excited expression immediately became embarrassed.

In a masonry house like this, every wall is a load-bearing wall.

Mo Zhai laughed awkwardly.

"Hehe.... Hehe... Brother Xu's pole is... Extremely, yes. ”
