This time, Ali had nothing to say, only weakly responded with the word "yes".

The study was silent, only the sound of pages turning in the drizzle, adding to the silence.

Under the banana tree in the back window of the study, a dark shadow was lying under the tree.

The place where this person was chosen was excellent, the candle shadow sprinkled in the window was not as good as his body, and his whole person almost melted into the night, and he couldn't see his appearance at all, but he could only vaguely see that he was a man of considerable stature, and his movements were as light as a tanuki, and his martial arts skills were good.

The man was obviously eavesdropping, but unfortunately, the master and servant in the study never said a word, as if they were so worried that they didn't even have the strength to speak, only the occasional sound of cups and lamps showed that the people in the room were still there.

After waiting for about half a moment, seeing that he could not hear any useful news, the man under the banana leaves straightened up slightly, bowed his waist and took a few steps back, until he left the area shrouded by the banana tree, and then his figure stretched out, and suddenly disappeared into the night rain.

After a few breaths, a terrible bird's cry suddenly came from a distance, and it sounded like the wailing of a night owl.

"Gone." Ali turned his head to look at the back window and said in a very low voice.

The cry of the night owl was a secret sign that the eavesdropper had left.

Gude raised his chin at Ali, who understood, picked up a cup of tea and walked to the back window, pushed open the window sash and pretended to pour tea outside, and looked around.

The rain was like mist, and the area around the window was empty.

Ali breathed a sigh of relief, let the window be wide open, returned to the desk with the empty teacup, and said with a relaxed face, "Back to the master, I'm really gone."

He pursed his lips and said with some disdain, "Hey, I'll eavesdrop, how many times have I overheard." Tomorrow there may be another big feast of chickens and geese."

With that, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly and peeked to Gud.

When Giller is in a good mood, she will order the kitchen to cook chickens and ducks and feast on them, but she is reluctant to eat the cattle and sheep unless she takes the account of the public.

Goode threw down the so-called "account book" with a "snap" and leaned back in his chair, but the expression on his face was not as happy as Ali's.

Seeing this, Ali also put away his smile and walked over to clean up the messy paper books on the case.

These are not account books at all, but miscellaneous books found casually, only a shell of an account book is set on the outside, specially used to confuse the eldest lady.

The eldest lady planted eyeliner beside them, and they had always known it, and they had never broken it.

This is also the way that Gude learned from Mr. Wu from the Song Kingdom to resist the enemy.

Knowing that someone is eyeliner and not pulling it out, sometimes assigning some important errands to the other party to make the other party think that they are safe, this is the "slow hand" in the military path.

This can paralyze the opponent and prevent him from making more moves, and secondly, open chess is easier to control than dark chess; Third, at a critical moment, this chess piece can also be used to deliver false news and counter the enemy's army.

The person who was hiding outside and eavesdropping was one of the guards beside Gude.

Goode knew early on that he had been bought by the Gilles, so he and Ali deliberately acted for him. All the things that should be owed, the smuggling of slaves, the sale of property to make money, etc., were all deliberately given to him by Gude, and this man was really loyal to his duty, and 1510 reported the false news to the Gilles, which led to the so-called "interception of human slave trade".

The deal was a real deal, but Gilles was carried away by the smell of money, and took a bite of the bait.

When he did this game, Gude was calm in his heart, without a trace of apology.

The eldest lady has always regarded him as an enemy, and he is the same, the two have been fighting for many years, and naturally they have sent a lot of dark lines or spies to each other.

At this moment, listening to the sound of Ali squirting and tidying up, Gude closed his eyes slightly, and his fingers subconsciously tapped the bookcase, and his thoughts continued in his head.

He felt as if he was in a mist, all of which was a vague outline, and he had neither the chips to clear the fog nor the abundance

The news allowed him to see the big picture.

There are still some scorching, but it doesn't stop there. Emotions such as anger or grievance were far away from him.

Any concubine who grew up in a noble family, and was the eldest son, would understand at a very young age that resentment, grievance, complaint, or sorrow were of no other use than to please others.

It was only after suffering countless losses that Gude learned to control his emotions and learn to hide it.

It's just that this kind of repression is still too heavy for him, and the once bright boy has also been worn into the gloomy man he is now.

Goode let out a low chuckle, opened his eyes, took out a folded page from his bosom, opened it and looked at it a few times.

The handwriting on the paper is ugly, but the words are extremely precise, and there is no omission of what should be explained, and nothing is said that should not be said.

After reading the lines a few times, Goode moved over the candlestick and leaned over the corner of the page.

Little by little, the flames devoured the paper, and a few pieces of black ash fell on the bookcase.

This is a letter from Akith to Good.

When Lian'er took the initiative to find Ali, Gude thought that this little Song slave was here to beg him for help, and at that time he was still wondering if this was what the Song people called "self-throwing into the net".

To his surprise, Lian'er actually survived in such a way.

"Lian'er is my messenger, and the news is all in him, earnestly."

This is the first sentence written in Akis's letter.

This is to tell Gude that Lian'er must live.

In a short word, he was arrogant, and when Gude read it at first glance, he almost thought that Mangtai was giving him an order. And when he came back to his senses, he didn't feel angry, only a sense of helplessness.

Such a killer of the rivers and lakes who sees the dragon without seeing the end, he really doesn't dare to gamble with the other party, after all, no one can guarantee that Aqisi will have a whim one day and send a letter to Mang Taiye.

Goode can't afford to take this risk.

And the price offered by Achilles in the letter is indeed so high that it is impossible to refuse, for example, her second sentence is:

"Title, King's Wish; Get out, my wish. If you help me, I will be able to prevent the king's troubles."

A martial artist can write a letter so elegantly, Gude was still quite amazed at that time. It's a pity that Akisi is not yet able to write the golden text, and the letter is written in the Song script. She seemed to expect that Gude could understand it, and Gude did understand it, and it was very moving.

Aqisi made it clear that he wanted to make a deal with him, and now it seems that the direction of things is as she expected, and the Gilles clan actually took the bait, I have to say that Aqisi sees people's hearts very thoroughly, and he lives up to the name of the master of the Tibetan Sword Villa.
