"Have you eaten well? Let's go. Oh, by the way, the lady just said that she wanted to eat tofu at noon, so she asked you to buy two pieces. Warm Heart got up and wanted to leave, but suddenly stopped again.

"Oh, good. Wrap me two more pieces of tofu. Xianglan said to me.

"Okay." I picked up two dried lotus leaves that had been soaked in water last night, wrapped the tofu carefully, and handed it to her with my head bowed.

Xianglan put down the four copper plates, put the tofu into the basket, and walked away with a warm hand.

"Are they the maids of the Mu Mansion?" The Lord asked.

"Yes." I was holding the money I had just earned, and I seemed to feel that there was still residual warmth on it.

The lord stared at their distant backs and said, "What did they say to you?" ”

I put the money in my purse and packed the table: "They're here to eat bean curd." ”

"That's how suspicious I am." The lord sighed lightly: "Where is my bean curd?" Didn't you hear? ”

I had to make a bowl of bean curd and send it to him: "Two cents." ”

The lord said disdainfully: "Two pennies? How much do you earn in a day of hard work? You might as well hurry up and help me find out the other agents. You don't have to make all this hard-earned money. ”

I smiled: "Like the Xiangzhu, don't I need an identity as a cover?" The owner is also a rich man, doesn't he also wait every day for someone to come into the store to buy your pastries? ”

The lord slapped the two coins on the table and waited for me to get them, but he pressed my hand: "Say, have you revealed my identity?" ”

My heart trembled, and I pretended to be calm: "What identity do you reveal?" Xiao Mu doesn't know your identity, do you still need me to say it? When I tell other people that you are a Tibetan worker, do you think they will believe me? ”

The lord finally let go of his hand: "Makes sense." ”

"And what are you coming to me for?"

"Since you've started setting up stalls here again, well, help me keep an eye on the Jianghu Inn." The lord said, took a bite of bean curd, and squinted his eyes to look into the inn.

I saw that he hadn't relaxed his guard against Mu Niangzi, and his heart tightened again: "Do you suspect that there are secret agents in this inn?" ”

Xiang Zhu said: "Now, although that Mu Xian'er is pregnant and no longer cares about the inn, she is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. His brother Mu Junyi has been back to Yiling for so long, and he still doesn't know what to do for Mu You in secret. These two brothers and sisters, I suspect that they are the 'black and white impermanence' around the legendary Mu You. ”

I saw that the master guessed wrong again, so I was secretly amused, and asked pretendedly: "Last time in the private room, didn't Mu You let black and white impermanence appear?" At that time, you suspected Li Huichun and Mu Niangzi, but Li Huichun was busy going to the doctor, and Mu Niangzi had been staying in Mu Mansion. As for Lieutenant Mu, I inquired in many ways, but I didn't hear that he came back to Xiangzhou. ”

Lord Xiang smiled slyly: "Then who do you think 'black and white impermanence' is?" ”

When I saw him ask me again, I realized that he was just pretending to be tempted, and with his ability, it is not easy to fool. I don't know if that Siyu mentioned to him that I went to Mufu.

I thought about it for a while, and decided to confess something to gain his further trust, so I replied: "I went to Mu Mansion yesterday, and saw a man in black wielding an axe to chop wood, and his technique was clean and neat, and he did not look tired.

After I helped the county government solve the case before, we went to the East Courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion to report to Mu You, and I saw a man in black with a masked face beside him. At the time, I thought he was Mu You's secret guard, so I didn't think much of it.

But since I saw the person chopping wood yesterday, if I think about it carefully, their figures and clothes are also similar. I venture to guess if they could be the same person. ”

The lord smiled with relief: "So what? What did you find? ”

"I think he should be the black shadow in 'Black and White Impermanence', and as for the 'White Cloud Fairy', I don't have a clue for the time being." I was heartbroken and pushed Ouyang Daxia out, with his martial arts, there shouldn't be anything wrong.

"Good. You did a good job of analyzing. To tell you the truth, I did put eyeliner in the Mu Mansion, her name is Si Yu, and she just entered the Mu Mansion a month ago. She reported the same situation as you, and she also suspected that Ouyang was a black shadow. He is Mu Xian'er's senior brother, but he is Mu Junyi's master, and the relationship is a mess. Lord Xiang said, frowning: "It's me who underestimated Mu Mansion, with the power of Siyu alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out their true identity." So, I want you to help her. ”

"Me?" Surprised, I pointed my finger at my nose: "How can I help?" ”

The lord asked rhetorically: "Then why did you go to the Mu Mansion yesterday?" ”

I already had the answer in my heart, and replied with a little shame: "Didn't I owe Mu Niangzi money?" And by her grace, she was able to set up a stall in front of this inn. Going to pay a New Year's greeting in the New Year month is also a proper etiquette. ”

"Really?"

"Could there be another reason?"

Lord Xiang smiled coldly: "I thought you wanted to see if Mu Xian'er was dead set on Mu You, so you wanted to use Mu Xian'er to help you stop Mu You from forming an alliance with us." ”

I was so frightened that a cold sweat broke out on my back, this lord, is he a roundworm in my stomach? Or will he also so-called mind reading? Otherwise, how would he know about my little abacus?

"Where? I'm just an ordinary person, how can I stop this big thing alone? I forced myself to calm down and tried to explain: "I want to test whether Mu Niangzi is subordinate to Mu You, I want to use her to help me deal with Mu You and avenge Jiajia."

Because she has been with Mu You for many years, she must know a lot about Mu You's situation. Now that she has a home in Xiangzhou, she should not watch Xiangzhou fall into the flames of war. ”

"Yes, yes." Lord Xiang nodded: "I'll just say it, I won't be wrong, it's really not easy for you to analyze so much."

That Mu You has been uncertain, and if we want to cooperate with him, we can't take advantage of it at all. If we can get closer to Mu Xian'er, maybe it will be valuable. This woman, she is by no means a simple character. ”

He also wants to win over Mu Niangzi!

My heart hung again, Mu Niangzi is the person I admire the most, she is a good person, a woman, incarnated as a proprietress to hold up an inn, for so many poor people to give alms and eat...... Now that she finally has her own home and a child, how can I watch her get involved in their conspiracy again?

However, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. Some people have been trying to become "all beings", but they have to show their edge again and again.

"Of course Mu Niangzi is not simple, she is a woman, it is really hard to run such an inn in an open face, fortunately, she has recruited a husband who can help her now." I also sighed, deliberately pulling Mu Niangzi's skills into business, I don't know if I can hide the secret that she is the White Cloud Fairy.

"Businessman? Hmph, she's not like that! ”

"Who is the Lord worried about her? What do you want to do? ”

Lord Xiang sighed and frowned: "It's not like I can do what I want to do now. I always thought I had the situation under control, but somehow, there was always a feeling that I was being led by the nose.

What I need you to do now is to use my relationship with Mu Xian'er to help me find out if she is a secret agent and see if she can be used by me. ”

I swallowed: "How do I check?" ”

"That's your business. Don't forget that you said that you would find out the Tianyan secret agent in exchange for Mu You's dog life. The lord smiled coldly: "The beautiful mansion has been prepared for you, in order to take revenge, in order to live a good life, you can have a little more heart." ”

I nodded submissively, "I know." ”

"Well, the bean curd is good, but your business is cold enough, hahahaha." The owner put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and staggered back to Huang's pastry shop.

I looked at the few guests who came sporadically to eat bean curd and buy tofu, and my heart was half cold. It was the most unpleasant tofu I had ever sold, and it wasn't until it got dark that I was empty.

No way, doing business is like this, how can there be such good money in this world?

……

On the second day, business was finally better than yesterday, but the face of the owner was even more ugly.

He took the bowl full of bean curd, put it heavily on the table, and said in a low voice: "Do you still want to kill Mu You to avenge your fiancée?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded: "Of course! ”

"Okay, then you hide this packet of medicinal powder, and then quietly go down to his bean curd later." As he spoke, he pulled out a small white bottle one inch long from his sleeve.

"What is this?"

"Arsenic." Lord Xiang glanced around: "This is colorless and tasteless, you are more agile, he shouldn't notice, I will talk to him to distract him." ”

"You mean, let me poison Mu You?" I was startled, looked at the delicate little bottle, and didn't dare to take it for a while.

"Take it. Aren't you going for revenge? Why did you suddenly coax again? "The lord stuffed the small bottle into my hand, and his eyes were full of murder.

"I ...... I wanted to kill him, I wanted revenge, but ...... But...... I...... Am I going to kill him here? I became nervous, and for a moment I couldn't even speak: "You...... Aren't you going to make an alliance with him? You agree with me to kill him? ”

"Alliance?" Lord Xiang was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table: "This Mu You has no integrity, despicable and shameless!" I just got the news this morning, the day before yesterday our leader met with Mu You and went back to get sick, at first I thought it was a cold and diarrhea, until yesterday morning when the symptoms worsened, I asked a doctor for treatment, saying that he was poisoned, and by the evening he had died. ”

"What? He's dead? "I was so happy that I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart.

"Are you happy?" Lord Xiang glanced at me: "Although he is my leader, in fact, he is only responsible for summarizing the information collected by our various states, analyzing it, and then passing it on to the king of Tubo, and the person who replaces him will arrive at any time, and it will not have much impact on our plans." ”

"Then you control the power of the entire Xiangzhou? Didn't you say that you would wait until you took control of the power in Mu You's hands before you let him die? I asked, suddenly shocked, am I delaying Xiao Mu's death?

"Plans have changed. In the past, I wanted Mu You to hand over the power directly to me, but now it seems that his ambition is too great, and he just wants to borrow our hand to make him have more reasons to rebel. He had secretly built his own powerful spy organization, and those people only served him. Once Mu You confesses to us, he will still be a great hero admired by all the people, and his spy organization will also be granted the corresponding authority, so as to divide the entire Xiangzhou! ”

I listened to the Xiangzhu's analysis, but I very much agree that Xiao Mu is indeed an ambitious person, he has a hatred for the Tang Dynasty, and he has endured humiliation and burdens for many years, in order to be able to rebel in a grand manner!

I peeked into the alley next to me, recalling the bits and pieces of my relationship with Xiao Mu, and I was at a loss again. Xiao Mu, am I really going to kill you?
