The dumplings prepared in the kitchen were delicious, and the children ate happily, but Yu Mian had no appetite and put down the dishes and chopsticks after two symbolic bites.

The sky was overcast and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

The uneasiness in Yu Mian's heart also became more and more intense.

Li Huaize accompanied the children to eat, Yu Mian left the room first, and she walked into the courtyard to look around.

Especially under the low walls, as well as the slightly more secluded corners, she inspected them all.

Near the wall, there is some bamboo, and although it is winter, the bamboo is so dense that it covers most of the high wall, and there is a fence underneath, and from a distance, it is almost impossible to see anything.

However, when you stand here and look behind you, you can see several bungalows behind you.

So Yu Mian didn't hesitate, and went directly around the bamboos and walked behind the fence to take a look.

It's okay not to look at it, but it really startled Yu Mian when he saw it.

The back wall is covered by branches and leaves, so there is only a thin layer of snow on the ground, and there are still some messy footprints on it at this moment.

Judging by the depth of the footprints, someone should have been hiding here for a long time.

There were also broken notes scattered on the floor.

Fortunately, it was cold today, and the snow had not yet had time to melt.

But when the snow falls a little harder, I'm afraid that all these traces will be hidden, and then nothing will be seen.

The bamboos have apparently been growing here for many years, and some of the notes are about the thickness of a human arm.

Yu Mian braved the wind and snow, and climbed to the top step by step with the help of the dense strips of paper that grew from the bamboo, and sure enough, he saw the traces of the snow on the wall being rubbed off by his clothes.

Yu Mian quietly took out the silver needle from the space, only to see that she took out another bottle of black ointment, she soaked the silver needle in the ointment, and then buried it vertically in the snow.

After doing this, Yu Mian easily fell to the ground, clapped his hands and turned away.

Right now, the enemy is in the dark, they are in the light, and what they can do is limited, but for the sake of the children, Yu Mian must also take precautions early.

She also set up a mechanism in a secluded corner of the courtyard, anyway, the snow was heavy enough tonight, and those people could use the snow as a shield, so she could naturally use the falling snow to make some simple hunting devices.

The sharp claws are buried in the snow like this, and when those people fall down the wall in the dark, there will be a lot of suffering waiting for them to eat!

After separating these days, the blood in Yu Mian's bones has also hidden most of it.

Every day, he is either in a hurry, or prepares meals for the children, and can only occasionally learn from Li Huaize when he is itchy.

But Li Huaize never fought with her seriously, most of them were joking.

The harmful sleep is not happy every time.

It's rare.

These people are chasing after her again, so that she can practice her fists and feet well!

After making these preparations, Yu Mian stood at the door and examined his part, with a somewhat smug and expectant smile on his face.

Li Huaize came out with a cup of hot tea and handed it to Yu Mian.

Seeing the smile on her face, I couldn't help but ask, "Ready?" ”

"How do you know?"

Yu Mian looked at Li Huaice suspiciously.

After speaking, Li Huaice was a little helpless, he couldn't help but nod Yu Mian's forehead, and said with a smile: "I don't have too much confidence in your husband, right?" You and I have been together for so long, and I am still very sure of what I know about you. ”

"Oh, that's amazing."

Yu Mian leaned against the door frame, took a sip of the tea brought by Li Huaize, and asked slowly, "Does Young Master Li have any advice?" ”

"Don't you dare."

Li Wice hurriedly waved his hand and continued: "I just came here to care, I'm afraid you're tired." ”

"They don't necessarily dare to do it."

Yu Mian guessed: "At least they don't dare to do it easily, these movements are just temptations, this is the post station of the official family, if they dare to spread wild here, it will be the imperial court that will be alarmed at that time." ”

"That's right."

Li Huaize held Yu Mian's hand, took her back to the house, and said slowly: "The reason why they refuse to let us go is because they are afraid that this matter will cause trouble in the court?" So the closer they got to Shengjing, they didn't dare to do it directly, but it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't jump off the wall in a hurry.

Qingzhou is only half a day's journey from Shengjing, and they probably won't let us go to Shengjing easily. ”

"yes, so we're going to spend time with them now." Yu Mian said.

"When?"

Li Huaize looked at Yu Mian and always felt that she seemed to have a plan.

Sure enough, Yu Mian laughed slyly, "Have you forgotten the envoys of Dongyu Kingdom?" ”

"Envoy of Dongyu Kingdom? What are your plans? ”

"It's not a plan."

Yu Mian said slowly: "After Qingzhou, the next stop is Shengjing, so the imperial court will definitely send people to Qingzhou to greet in advance, and the envoys will probably have a short rest in Qingzhou before they will set off to Shengjing again. ”

"That makes sense."

Li Huaize continued: "No wonder these days, the post station has been so peaceful, it turns out that these people are busy cleaning everywhere and preparing to welcome the envoys. ”

"Yes, I have quietly inquired before, if it weren't for the fact that we had Uncle Qian's warrant, we probably wouldn't have let us stay here at this time."

Yu Mian paused, and then said again: "I have also inquired about Mr. Fan Fan, the ennefactor mentioned in Uncle Qian's letter. ”

"Mr. Fan Zhongqiu?" Li Huaize asked.

Yu Mian was surprised: "You actually know? ”

"I've heard of some, this old gentleman is the first assistant of the previous dynasty, not only that, when the first emperor was there, he was also the prince of the East Palace, and later the first emperor died, the old gentleman supported the prince of the East Palace to succeed to the throne, conscientious, diligent, and respected as Fan Ge Lao, although he has been raised at home for many years, but his status in the court is still transcendent, and naturally it is not comparable to others."

After saying this, Yu Mian looked at Li Huaice quietly for a while.

Li Huaize raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What kind of eyes are you?" ”

"How does the mountain village know so much about the imperial court?"

“……”

"We'll talk about that later."

Li Huaize looked at the children next to him and said slowly, "It's time to take medicine." ”

Dabao: "......"

Yu Mian: "......"

As Yu Mian expected, those who couldn't see the light in their backs didn't dare to do it easily.

So, they spent the day peacefully again.

On this day, just after waking up in the morning, Yu Mian heard the squirming movement outside, the sound of hurried footsteps, one after another, but no one made a loud noise.

It's kind of weird.

When Yu Mian got up, Li Huaize was sitting under the window with a book.

Hearing the movement, Li Huaize turned his head, but his eyes were still staring at the page in his hand, and asked with a smile: "I woke up early today, can I relieve my fatigue?" ”

“……”

Yu Mian glared at Li Huaize and said, "What's going on outside, why is it so noisy?" ”
