Xiao Er scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "What the guest officer said is right, I am not in the dining hall all the time."

"I want hot water."

"What?" Yu Xiyao jumped so fast that Xiao Er, who had spoken to him, forgot the purpose of his visit.

"Didn't the second brother ask me if I wanted to take a bath? Do you want cold or hot water? ”

Xiao Er was stunned and said, "Oh, the guest officer is waiting, I'll let people prepare to go right away!"

Yu Xiyao knew that Xiao Er's stunned moment was because he asked for hot water, and the usual women on this hot day were washed with cold water, and it was inevitable that he was a man and a man who practiced martial arts taking a hot bath.

It's not that Yu Xiyao is embarrassed, but he really has the habit of taking a hot bath, whether it's cold or hot. Yu Xiyao didn't explain too much, so he looked at Xiao Er and asked people to prepare hot water.

Of course, the hot water in summer is different from that in winter, so in less than half an hour, Xiao Er carried the water and knocked on Yu Xiyao's door again.

As soon as Yuxi Yao's door opened, Xiao Er said, "The guest officer has been waiting for a long time, right?"

"I didn't have to wait that long." The inn is not a post station, and it is impossible to greet him alone here, and it is indeed a long time to say to the post station for half an hour, but for the inn, it is really impossible to say that it has been waiting for a long time with Yu Xiyao's reward.

This bucket of bath water is naturally not enough, when Xiao Er carried the last bucket of water and poured it into the bath bucket, he said: "Did the guest officer really just go out and take a walk casually?"

Yu Xiyao didn't blame Xiao Er for being nosy, and said with a bitter smile: "Originally, I quietly went to visit my father as the little second brother thought, but I thought that if someone found out and was misunderstood by others, I was afraid that it would be difficult to see my father again in the future, so it would be better to go to the door openly."

"That's right, how can anyone sneak back to their own door." Xiao Erbang said that he had finished pouring water, tested the temperature of the water and said, "Does the guest officer need help?"

Although Yu Xiyao stayed at the guest house for the first time, he didn't know what Xiao Er meant by helping: "No, I can come by myself."

The hot water waited for half an hour, but Yu Xiyao didn't wash it in a quarter of an hour, and when Xiao Er took care of the bath water, Yu Xiyao changed into night clothes again and went to a dazzling mansion.

With a slight leap, he avoided the gate and came to the mansion. Then he avoided the guards in the house and found the study, jumped on the roof, took off a tile, and gently put it aside, and clearly saw everything in the study through the hole in the tile.

Seeing the people inside, Yu Xiyao also confirmed the guess in the inn.

"Elder Ge, everything is as you ordered, and some 'facts' have been scattered in restaurants, tea rooms, and inns in Kyoto." The person who spoke was the person in the inn who mentioned the ambiguous relationship between Yu Xilang and Zhang Mengjie.

"Good!" Hu Dongxu, who was close to the sixtieth year but was full of energy, smiled and said.

"If the elder of the pavilion has no other instructions, the little one will retire first!"

Hu Dongxu waved his hand to the rumor-mongering person in the inn, and the man withdrew from the study. As soon as the man withdrew, Hu Dongxu and his only son Hu Linyi were left in the study.

"Father, do we really want to assist His Royal Highness the arrogant Crown Prince to ascend to the throne?" Hu Linyi said with a little disdain and chagrin.

"Even then, it's only temporary. A fool who was led by Dongfang Jue's nose, do you think he can sit in that position safely? Hu Dongxu took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.

"Then my father is not afraid that Dongfang Jue will swallow the Jade Yarn Country? Aren't we? Hu Linyi said with some concern.

"Isn't there another lieutenant general in Yu Xiyao who went to Dragon City to report the news? We can let the ministers of the court know what that fool did before Dongfang Jue swallowed the Jade Yarn Kingdom. ”

"Father is wise!" After Hu Linyi finished complimenting, he said: "Father is not afraid that Yu Xiyao will come back?"

Hu Dongxu glanced at Hu Linyi and said, "Have you forgotten our efforts these days?"

Hu Linyi patted Hu Dongxu's ass again and said: "It's still my father's foresight!" It's a pity that this jade yarn country falls into the hands of a family surnamed Yu! No wonder God wants to land his father in the country of jade yarn. ”

"Come on, my future is not yours yet, you should go with some powerful ministers now, and pay more attention to whether there are useful people, and take them into your account as much as possible."

"Father is reasonable, then this jade yarn country should also be changed, I really can't think of the name without those staff." Hu Linyi smiled happily with a confident look. After laughing for a while, he thought of something and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "Then what will she do when the time comes?" After all, without her all these years, the Hu family would not have such a great favor! ”

Hu Dongxu said indifferently: "It's just a daughter, the Hu family is still willing to do it." If you want to sit in that position, you are most jealous and soft-hearted, and she has been in the palace for so many years, her heart will not necessarily be towards the Hu family, so don't leave a scourge at that time! ”

A trace of discomfort flashed in Hu Linyi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared: "The child listens to his father."

Next, the father and son talked about some of the people from the DPRK and China, which ones could be brought over and which ones should go out as soon as possible. These Yu Xiyao didn't want to listen much anymore, covered the piece of tile that had been removed, and was about to go down to the roof to see a person hiding in the flowers and trees outside the study.

If it weren't for the person's dress and familiarity with him, Yu Xiyao would not have known who that person was in the dark night, but Yu Xiyao didn't want to alarm the person and didn't want to expose him, and when he was about to leave, he saw a little guy walking towards the study with the person who was talking to Hu Dongxu in the study just now.

Hearing the movement outside, Hu Dongxu and Hu Linyi closed their mouths. Hu Linyi opened the door, stood at the door and said to the two, "What's the matter?"

The little servant said: "Just now, Gonggong Liu, who was next to His Royal Highness the Prince, came, and it was originally a slave who accompanied him, but halfway through, the slave suddenly had a stomach upset, so he went to the thatched house, and when he came out of the thatched house, Gonggong Liu was gone!"

Who doesn't know the helplessness of having a stomach, but thinking of the conversation just now, the faces of the father and son changed, Hu Linyi kicked the little guy and said: "There are so many people in the house, you won't find someone to accompany Gonggong Liu before going to the thatched house!"

The little guy didn't take precautions for this kick and rolled a lot of way, which shows how angry Hu Linyi is.

The little guy didn't know that he just didn't accompany Grandpa Liu to the study, and Hu Linyi was so angry. There have been a lot of such things in the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the people around the Queen Mother are very familiar with this place, many times they go to find Hu Dongxu and Hu Linyi without waiting for them to lead, and they have never seen them angry, so the little guy was also a little stunned by Hu Linyi's kick, even Grandpa Liu was in the flowers and trees beside him, and when he rolled there, Grandpa Liu nervously stepped on the branch next to him and "creaked" without noticing.

Gonggong Liu, who was already very nervous, was even more frightened by that sound, and his whole body stiffened. Just because I didn't hear it doesn't mean that Hu Dongxu and Hu Linyi didn't hear it? Although they are civil ministers, they can also be military generals! (To be continued.) )
