Xia Ye went back to the room and saw Xia Li waiting for him.

"Sister, why don't you go back to rest, and come to me again?"

"Guess what I'm here for?"

"You ......" Xia Ye didn't know what to say, frowned and looked at her for a while and said, "Aren't you here to care about the affairs of the government again!" ”

Xia Li didn't refute it: "That's true, but brother, you still tell me the truth!" But if you don't say it, you can't blame me if I sneak out to inquire! She felt that this trick would definitely work for Natsuba.

Xia Ye didn't know whether to be angry or happy, and he didn't know what to say for a long time, so he sighed and stared at his sister and said, "I really doubt if you are my sister?" How did you become so disobedient?"

Xia Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, could it be that this person saw something, and thought it was impossible, in that way:

"I'm not your sister, who else is?"

"That is to say, when did my sister become so rude and willful and ignorant!"

"I've always been like this, it's just that you didn't find out before, brother, don't change the topic and tell me quickly, I won't tell anyone if you tell me, just satisfy the curiosity in my heart"

"You...... Alas! Xia Ye sighed again, he really couldn't help his sister in front of him, and he had to tell his sister about the things in the palace one by one.

He knows that this girl does what she says now, if you don't say that she will definitely go out to inquire, so it is better to let her know that she will not have to sneak out and play clever and cause trouble.

Xia Li was scared for a while after hearing this, she knew what kind of person her brother was, how could a weak scholar be able to go to the battlefield to fight, but with the temperament of the eldest uncle Xia Zhiyuan and Li Honglian, how could they let their son go to such a dangerous place, these two people would definitely get in the way, she thought about it:

"Brother, you can't go, the war is not a joke, how can you kill people without even holding a knife!"

Xia Ye also knew his ability, and said there: "I know what my sister means, but it also depends on the emperor's decision, and the emperor wants me to go."

Xia Li continued there: "So brother, you should be sick now!" If you're sick, no one will let you go to the northwest."

Xia Ye heard this, his face was embarrassed, "You mean to make me pretend to be sick"

"Yes, if you are not sick, you must be sick, only in this way can you avoid fighting in the northwest"

Xia Ye shook his head and refused to say: "No, how can I, an eight-foot-tall man, do such a small thing, this is not a gentleman's doing, now that the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, how can he hide at such a critical time!" This method doesn't work, I have to wait for the emperor's news, and the monarch wants the ministers to go to the ministers and have to go."

"You ......" Xia Li was so angry that he secretly scolded his brother for being brainless, but then he thought that his brother was such a brainless person! What can I do?

……

At this time, there is an inn near the end of East 2nd Road in the capital, with a small sign hanging on it, and several big black characters of "Sifang Inn" are framed on it.

This shop is not too big, it is a courtyard house, except for the room with only one floor.

Although there is only one floor, the space in each room is not small, and it can accommodate two or three hundred people when it is fully occupied.

It's just that because it's a courtyard, the lighting is not very good, people look at it from the outside, each room is a little black, it doesn't look very clean, so the number of people who live in the store all year round can be counted, but there is a little bit of this shop has not changed in the slightest, the price is not cheaper than other inns, and the price of the general inn in Beijing is the same.

Although the appearance is not good, the price is not cheap, but because this store is in the capital, sometimes foreign customers come to the capital at once, and other stores can not live, but also have to come to this square inn to live.

In this way, the cost of the store can be maintained, which is enough for the shopkeeper's annual expenses.

People who don't know the situation from the outside really don't know if this store can live in people, because from the outside the inside is not bright and dark, but people passing by will still look inside curiously from time to time, and their hearts must follow the secret words, blind such a good location, how did you open such an inn, even the usual walking by did not hear the sound of talking inside, let alone the people who live in the hotel.

However, there is one thing that is better about this shop, that is, it is quiet, and I heard that the inside is also well cleaned, but this customer is really not too many, but it is true.

Guarding the door of the shop were an old man in his sixties and seventies and an old woman, who I heard were also the owners of the shop.

The two have lived in the capital for decades, and have never had children or daughters, and they only live in this storefront.

Although there are no relatives and friends to take care of them, the silver taels obtained by a guest staying in the hotel are enough for the old couple to live for a while.

So this shop can't go hungry to feed the two old people.

Sometimes the door opens later or closes earlier when there are no guests.

At this time, it is not strange that people are common, is it not that people are not allowed to close their doors if their business is not good, what is the reason.

Even if the store is not open for two days, everyone speculates that either the old man is sick or the old lady is sick.

Therefore, it is normal for this store to close its doors in the chaotic days in the capital this morning.

But on such a day, everyone guessed wrong, and the store was not only inhabited, but also many of them.

The people inside live in the courtyard, and they can't hear a single sound outside.

I don't know when I saw a small guy wearing a straw hat and sackcloth walking in quickly from the door of the store, and when he entered the gate, he walked towards the courtyard house near the north square.

I saw that the door of this house turned to the left, and it was a small room, and then I walked directly to a bookshelf and pushed it, and I saw a long corridor in front of me, and the little girl did not stop for a moment and ran directly inside.

After walking two feet away, I saw a small iron gate, and I struck three times:

"Master, I'm back"

After a short time, the door was opened by the person inside and said, "You are back, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The little servant strode into the room, and when he looked up, he saw a man with a square face and smiling eyes like water.

The little guy hurriedly said, "Young master, I just went down to the front to investigate."

"How? Who did the emperor of Dachang send? The man said with a grin.

"Back to the young master, Emperor Dachang is indecisive and has not yet made a final decision"

The man laughed even more happily, "He can really do it, it's like this, this little thing hasn't been decided yet, don't blame my father for saying that this emperor doesn't have to take it seriously, it's just a straw bag, and he doesn't have the spirit of the old emperor at all"

The little guy said there: "That's, or is it right that the master said"

After hearing this, the man still grinned and said:

"That's right, the current capital is not at the point of panic, we haven't done enough"

The little guy bowed his head there, "That master, what should we do next?" ”

"What to do, continue to create panic, I don't believe that the current emperor is still undecided, and if he doesn't transfer troops to the capital, he will still sit on the dragon chair and not move after playing, by the way, has the emperor decided to go to the people?"

The little guy shook his head there, "Not yet, but soon, although the emperor has not decided today, but there is a candidate, as far as his subordinates know, the person the emperor wants to choose is to choose from the two newly promoted students, I heard that they are all hairy boys, I don't understand anything, when this person leads the troops to the northwest, isn't it in our pocket?" ”

The man listened to it and said, "Is the news reliable?" ”

Xiao Sidao: "Of course it is reliable, and the subordinates guarantee it with the head of the item"

"That's what you said"

The little servant said there: "It's not been a year or two for my subordinates to follow the prince of Shili, and I naturally understand the rules."

Wu Shili listened to it and said with a smile:

"It's best to understand, then you don't have to worry about this son, hehe, just wait here"
