Chapter 31: The Changing Tide (7)
Xu Youdao followed Shen Jiannan all the way to Yang Chu's skirt's room, only to see Shen Jiannan walk in, thinking if he would get out of the house for an excuse, or observe at the door for a while, then leaned against the wall and listened to the movement inside, but Shen Jiannan didn't speak for a long time after he entered, which made Xu Youdao very curious, what was he doing inside.
Thinking of bad things in his heart, he hurriedly got up and looked inside along the crack in the door, but saw a scene that made ordinary people shy, that Shen Jiannan was hugging Yang Chu's skirt together, Shuangchun was close to each other, lingering affectionately, Xu Youdao 'ouch', hurriedly covered his eyes, turned his head to avoid, and said with a smile: "This kid, it's a blessing to run this good deed." ”
Shen Jiannan's sense of hearing is relatively sensitive, the sound of 'ouch' immediately came into his ears, his heart is not good, there are people outside the door, it must be Shangguan Wuxian and others, hurriedly pushed Yang Chu's skirt away, the arrow was like flying, and he had already rushed to the door in an instant, calmed down, and listened for a moment, yes, there was indeed someone.
"When" was a sound, the door was kicked open, Xu Youdao was stunned, subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see Shen Jiannan standing at the door, his eyes were staring at him coldly, and he couldn't help but shiver in his heart again, "Deputy Governor Shen, you scared me to death." ”
"What are you doing here?" Shen Jiannan asked angrily.
"I just passed by, just passed by." Xu Youdao stammered, and there was a kind of obscenity in his eyes.
Shen Jiannan hesitated for a moment, testing him, "Did you hear or see anything?" ”
"No, no, as soon as I got here, you came out, and I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything." Xu Youdao smiled, avoiding Shen Jiannan's eyes.
"That's fine, you can get busy." Shen Jiannan was stunned for a moment, said lightly, then turned around and entered the house, closing the door.
The sound of the door closing shook Xu Youdao, he felt funny, and shook his head alone, there is nothing to follow here, let's go to Gonggong Cao to see how the situation is.
turned around and walked back, out of Yang Chu's courtyard, a guard came to him, it seemed that he was coming towards him, there must be something, maybe there was something on Cao's side, the guard lowered his head, and reported: "Lord Xu, Gonggong Cao was besieged by bandits in Lin Dongpo outside the city, please go to the rescue quickly." ”
"Take me with you if you have such a thing." Xu Youdao was immediately shocked and hurriedly followed the guards.
The guard took Xu Youdao out of the city gate, and went straight to the east of the city, walked all the way, and didn't see the guard speak, and according to the analysis of time and distance, it would be time to get to the place, and he was anxious and asked: "Is there any, how far is it?" ”
"Come on, we'll be there after the woods ahead." The guard said lightly.
The more Xu Youdao thought about it, the more he wondered, walking behind and looking at the back of this guard carefully, he always felt that something was wrong, only to see that this person was slightly fat, walking swaying, and his steps were frivolous, not like a soldier, nor the calmness of a guard, and his expression seemed to be a thief's eyebrows, "Ah, is this guard pretending?" ”
Xu Youdao was shocked, if it was fake, and he was deceived here, wouldn't it be dangerous for him, and asked Chi Qian: "Brother Wuna, what is your name, I don't seem to have seen you in Dongchang?" ”
"I'm new here." The guard replied hastily, a small smile on his lips.
"You are talking nonsense, the new soldiers need to go through my approval before they can enter the East Factory to work, I don't think you look like a soldier at all, to be honest, who are you, what are you bringing me out for?" Xu Youdao thought that he was in danger anyway, so he simply said it directly.
The guard stopped and slowly turned around, Xu Youdao hurriedly took two steps back, making a defensive posture, the guard smiled when he saw this: "Lord Xu is still so cautious." ”
"Who the hell are you, take your hat off." Xu Youdao gave an order, showing his official spirit.
The guard sneered: "When you become an official, have you forgotten your old friends, can't you even hear my voice?" ”
Xu Youdao hesitated for a while, thought about it carefully, but couldn't remember it for a while, and questioned: "We know each other?" How I don't remember. ”
The guard took off his hat and showed his whole face to the outside, smiling innocently.
"You, you, are you Dongfang Liang?" Xu Youdao was amazed and shouted.
This person is Dongfang Liang, who used this method to lure Xu Youdao out, and it still used a lot of money to buy off the guards of the East Factory, so that he could smoothly mix in when Cao Jixiang and other important tasks were not in the East Factory.
"That's right, it's me." Dongfang Liang smiled.
"Aren't you in Shandong? Why did you get here? Xu Youdao was still confused and curious, although he knew his identity, he hadn't forgotten to guard against him.
"Brother Xu, you're too vigilant, hehe, don't worry, I won't harm you." Dongfang Liang smiled faintly.
"Tell me, what the hell is the matter with you inviting me out?" Xu Youdao obviously didn't want to entangle with him too much, so he cut straight to the point.
"Alas! We haven't seen each other for a long time, don't talk about things, let's go, let's two brothers, how about a few drinks first? Dongfang Liang was almost, pandering to laugh.
