Chapter 53: The Secret of the Eldest Lady

I slept very peacefully. The only fly in the ointment is that when I wake up again, the sky is getting dark, and when I wake up at this hour, I am afraid that how to sleep at night will be a problem.

At this time, the wind was quieter, and the rain that had been brewing all day did not fall.

"Zhixia." Wen wanted to laze on the bed for a while, but he could see the sky, and finally he barely sat up.

"The eldest lady is awake." Zhixia heard the eldest lady speak, and walked in while replying.

She was more energetic, and she didn't go back to the other side of the old bedroom, resting in her own room, and didn't ask other maids to take care of her, but kept in the hall all the time.

But she is not idle, these days have been busy with the eldest lady, when she first entered Tongcheng, the eldest lady from the Yang Mansion for her to pick out the jewelry has not had time to see, leaning on the couch after a little nap, they all turned out and looked at one by one.

"What time is it?" Sleepy-eyed and let Zhixia help her change her clothes, although the house was burning with charcoal, she always felt that it was still cold.

"At the end of the day, do you want to sleep for a while?" Zhixia asked, his hand movements pausing for a moment.

Wen shook his head: "Can someone come?" ”

"Li Mao is here." Zhixia saw that the eldest lady didn't want to sleep anymore, so he continued to get up again, and replied, "I asked him, it's nothing important, he knows that the eldest lady is still asleep, so he will wait in the matching room first." ”

"Call him."

After washing up here, tidying up, and sitting down in the hall, Li Mao was brought over by Zhixia.

"Too much to keep out of town?" He was obviously sleepy and yawned from time to time.

Li Mao sat down on the side, said "yes", and then said, "The eldest lady might as well rest for a while, these matters in Tongcheng are under the arrangement of the eldest lady, and there are no accidents, and we can still deal with them." ”

Wen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep at night, and I always felt that I didn't sleep enough during the day." What words did Taishou have left? ”

Li Mao also did not persuade anymore, but only found a hole before Liu Zhi set off and returned to the eldest lady what he said to him, which was nothing more than all kinds of conversations between him and the "driving department".

That person still had some doubts, so Taishou told him the specific arrangements when Tang Xianyao went to arrest Li Xun according to the eldest lady's instructions, and only said that the leader of the E team told him. It is difficult for anyone else to know about such confidential matters, and that person has nothing to suspect about. ”

Wen Gu didn't have too many doubts about Liu Zhu, although this middle-aged Taishou had been reluctant for many years, it was just a helpless move to protect himself, and he still had a lot of scholarly spirit in his bones.

He gave him sweetness, although the time was not long, but it also gave him the opportunity to display his ambitions, and he had the famous Liangzhou Army behind him, and made a proper settlement for him and his family, which eliminated his worries.

Liu Shu must have been dissatisfied with the Southern Chu court, and under the two expediencies, he naturally knew who to choose.

It's just that this matter started with coercion after all, and when he goes to Lianzhou in the future, he will be given some compensation.

Since there was nothing wrong with Liu Zhu's side, he asked what changes had happened in the city.

"It's nothing, the person who pretended to be the driving department Langzhong, just sent the Taishou out of the city, and when he came back, he summoned us and others in the palace, and read the prince's secret letter with us, saying that all the affairs of Tongcheng were handed over to him to deal with temporarily." Li Mao replied.

This is also reasonable, Tongcheng is a huge city, and now it is in a ridiculous situation that no one cares about. They want to find Xu Zhongyan, and it is naturally appropriate to enter Tongcheng at this time.

Having said that, when it was time to eat, Wen Gu left Li Mao with him and asked Zhixia to arrange and prepare the meal first.

After Zhixia left, Li Mao finally showed a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

There is nothing new about what Fang just said, the sleepiness of the past has not yet dissipated, and the person is not so sober, seeing Li Mao's expression, he asked, "But there is still something to ask?" ”

Seeing that the eldest lady asked, Li Mao was not ambiguous, and said bluntly: "There have been many things in Tongcheng in the past half a day, and everything is within the expectations and arrangements of the eldest lady. I really admire this kind of wisdom. ”

Knowing Li Mao's actions, before speaking, he must first praise a few words, even on weekdays, and if there is nothing to do at this time, it doesn't hurt to listen to him.

"The eldest lady can arrange so well in such a critical situation. With such detailed calculations and cautious thoughts, Yu Hou and I both felt that Liang Zhoujun, under the rule of the eldest lady, was definitely expected to regain its prestige. ”

Li Mao said this, and he was finished boasting, and seeing that Wen did not interrupt, he continued: "But behind the scheme, the eldest lady must have known a lot of inside information before making some decisions. I thought that many of them were Yu Hou's skills, but seeing that Yu Hou also seemed to have doubts about this, I really didn't know if the eldest lady had some other news channels. ”

Li Mao's words have actually been held back in his heart for a long time, and his thoughts are also complicated, one is that the secret guard itself should be the closest to the eldest lady, and it can be called the guard's manpower, if you can bypass these people and meet the eldest lady alone, this person in the dark who is relied on by the eldest lady must be a top master. Or maybe there's something wrong with the arrangement of the guards themselves, in short, they need to make some more arrangements and adjustments.

Second, the eldest lady seems to know everything about them, at least Wenliang, and many of these news are not from them, and they are not all conclusive and can be determined based on speculation. At this moment, the eldest lady has something to hide from them, either thinking that they are not up to the task, or that they do not trust them in the past. Either way, it's a great disservice to the Dark Guard.

At this time, he actually wants to explore the meaning of the eldest lady, if it is really one of the situations he thinks, maybe there will be the possibility of improvement.

Listening to what he said, he can probably guess Li Mao's thoughts, at this time, this major event in Tongcheng is halfway through, and there are still many small things to do behind.

However, thinking of this, Wen Gu suddenly had the urge to pour out all his secrets.

She's been depressed for too long. From the time she received Yang Wantang's letter to the present, it has only been two months for others, and for her, I don't know if more than ten years or decades have passed.

Moreover, among these people she trusted, Li Mao's mind was the most active, and he was indeed a suitable person.

After thinking about it, he said: "In this case, I will tell you something, and I also want you to help me refer to it." ”
