Shunyin's hat and drape were blown open, and he quietly looked around—the sharp weapons of the horizontal soldiers were placed on both sides, waiting to be cleaned up; On the left side, there is a special outpost, one person is high, boxy, but the north gate itself is high, and it becomes a high platform here, and it is used to watch the whole city and the outside of the city at a glance.

She glanced out of the city, and from here she could see the terrain very clearly, even the form of the mountains not far away. But now she could only look around, pretending to be a new visitor who had just stepped up to the city for the first time.

"Put away all the weapons!" Hu Xiao'er followed up to command, shouting while walking to check the defense of the city on the right.

The city guard hurriedly ordered someone to come over and carry the weapon away and send it to the warehouse.

Shunyin didn't look at the number, but only glanced outside the city, as if looking at the scene.

Mu Changzhou glanced at her a few times, and saw that she didn't seem to be interested, raised the corners of her mouth, tucked the hem of her clothes, walked to the side, and boarded the sentry tower.

Shunyin couldn't hear the movement on the left, and turned his head to find that he had climbed up, looked up at him, pursed his lips and stood under the stage thinking, what was he pondering......

"Yin Niang thinks that the precautions here can be regarded as tight?" His voice suddenly appeared above him.

Shunyin looked up and found that he had squatted down, looking at himself, and instantly approached each other, his eyes flickered, and he looked around, only half-understood: "It should be counted." ”

Mu Changzhou pointed to this sentry platform: "In the past, when I was in the Feng family, I heard Feng Shangshu say......" He paused and changed his words, "I heard that my father-in-law said that all military affairs are important to be investigated." The north of the city is the highest, and it can be seen both inside and outside, so a sentry post was set up. ”

Shunyin suddenly heard him mention his father, and also called his father-in-law, looking at him, it was obvious that they were already husband and wife, but the first time he heard him called like this, he was still a little unaccustomed.

Then it became clear to him why he had begun to talk about this openly with him, as if he had tacitly understood it? Glancing at his face again, I saw that his eyes were staring at him, and he was sure again.

"Military Division, the inspection is complete." Hu Xiao'er shouted loudly on the other end.

Mu Changzhou got up, looked at it above, and then turned around and squatted down again, stretching out his hand to her.

Shunyin was stunned, stood for a moment, and handed his hand over.

Mu Changzhou looked at her and glanced at the rope on the wall of the sentry platform below: "I thought Yin Niang knew that it was this that was going to be handed over." ”

Shun Yin naturally knew that it was the rope that bound the wooden ladder of the sentry platform, and handed it to him, so that he could untie the wooden ladder and come down from the side in front of him, without having to go to the other side, which was used in an emergency.

She lifted the veil in front of her eyes with her other hand, and just reacted and said, "I only think that Second Brother Mu wants me to support me, but isn't it?" Then I'll call them. After saying that, he had to stop his hand and turn around.

As soon as her hand tightened, she turned around, Mu Changzhou had already grabbed her hand, and jumped down lightly from above, with too much strength, which almost made her unstable, but fortunately he held her hard.

Shunyin's fingers sank, feeling that he had been numb with his five fingers, and silently pursed his lips and glanced at him.

He let go of her hand, his fingers hanging at his side, his eyes glancing over her face, as he had done when he had restrained her with a bow that day, and he smiled and said nothing.

CHAPTER XVIII

Hu Xiao'er quickly rushed over from the right side of the city, didn't see the scene of the two of them at all, and asked with a smile: "After the investigation is completed, the military secretary will personally go to check the other city gates?" ”

Mu Changzhou glanced at Shun Yin and walked down: "No need, you can check later." ”

Shun Yin watched him go down in front of his eyes, his fingers retracted from his sleeve, and he followed down, for some reason, he felt more and more that way: he was very sure, so he didn't say anything.

When he arrived at the city, when Mu Changzhou sat on horseback, he suddenly asked: "Yin Niang, do you still want to see the previous wonders by the road?" ”

Shunyin almost forgot about the few Hu merchants who worshiped around the top of the small stone tower, but still said, "Naturally, I want to go." ”

So they went back the way they came, and went out into the street.

Until I returned there, the original Hu merchants were gone, and a few old Hu merchants came, but they were still worshipping seriously in the small tower around the three-story stone barrier, just like the previous ones.

Shun Yin got off the horse, stood aside and watched carefully, listening to what they were babbling about, then turned his head and asked, "Second Brother Mu can understand what they say?" ”

Except for these few serious believers, the surrounding people only saw a line of archers behind them and avoided them, but even so, the surroundings were still noisy.

Mu Changzhou led the horse to stand on her right, turned his head and said, "They are praying for a continuous source of wealth all the way, and they will not encounter concealment and deception." ”

The last four words with his deep voice, as if drilling into Shunyin's right ear, seemed to have a deep meaning, she frowned unconsciously: "Really?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Changzhou returned.

Shunyin calmed down, let go of the horse's reins and said, "It looks very spiritual, so why don't I pray too." ”

Mu Changzhou turned his head, and saw her folded hands, facing the three-story small tower, her eyes closed, her head slightly bowed, facing her side face was soft and white, and her long eyelashes were lowered like a description, but her expression was light, as if she was independent in the world.

He moved his eyes and asked, "What are you praying for?" ”

Shunyin opened her eyes: "It's nothing." ”

She prayed that the person she married next to her would fulfill her wish in the future, and never let go of her again.

Mu Changzhou turned over and got on the horse, and suddenly smiled: "It's useless to pray for Buddha, this is useful?" ”

"......" Shunyin pursed her lips, stroked the hanging yarn, and followed on the horseback, but she didn't hear it, and she didn't want to listen to it. At least for now, he hadn't been able to get her wish......

It only took a few hours to go out, but when I returned to the military minister's mansion, it seemed like a catastrophe.

When Shun Yin returned home, he also followed Mu Changzhou inch by inch, always behind him on the left side, and today he was really obedient.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Changfeng hurriedly greeted him and reported to Mu Changzhou: "Military Division, Zuoshi is here, and there is an urgent matter to ask the Military Division to decide." ”

Mu Changzhou glanced behind him and walked to the front yard.

Shun Yin received his eyes and followed, and after a few steps, he saw several soldiers in the front yard, waiting there with a kneeling person, and the person who was detained was stained with blood, and his head was tilted to the side, as if he had been injured and unconscious.

Zhang Jun pressed the horizontal knife in his hand, stood aside in a thin and thin manner, and when he saw Mu Changzhou coming back, he stepped forward quickly: "Military Division, the chief manager has just ordered the whole city to strictly investigate all secret agents. ”

Shunyin's eyes moved when he heard this, and then he continued: "It's just that this person was caught outside the East City Gate this morning, and ...... was found on him."

Speaking of this, Zhang Junfeng stopped and looked at her.

Shunyin took off her hat, her fingers were smoothed down the veil, she didn't seem to listen very carefully, and she didn't seem to dare to look at the person who was being escorted over there.

Mu Changzhou bowed his head: "Continue to report." ”

Zhang Junfeng looked at the two of them before he said: "I found a recruitment order on him, from several states in the Central Plains near Hexi. The patrol soldiers and horses deduced that the nearby states of the Central Plains were probably secretly training troops, and this person appeared in Liangzhou, maybe the training was aimed at Liangzhou, so he sent this person over and handed it over to the military department for decision. ”

Training? Shunyin pulled the veil and secretly thought: There is no way, a place where military training can be discovered, at least it has been practiced for a while. There is Qinzhou in the Central Plains states near Hexi, if Qinzhou had started training a while ago, Feng Wujian would have revealed some news to her in his last letter, and he would have taken care of this. Besides, wouldn't it be in vain to train troops in vain?

There is no reason for this kind of information.

Mu Changzhou stretched out his hand, and Zhang Junfeng immediately took out the recruitment order from between his clothes and handed it to him.

He unfolded the warrant and read it over, then handed it back: "Fake." ”

Zhang Junfeng took a closer look, and said "ho" in his mouth: "Sure enough, we caught so many ...... before" and almost said the words "Central Plains spy", he looked at Shunyin and swallowed it back, "Some fake things can still be seen, and now since the military secretary also said so, it is indeed fake." ”

Shun Yin's fingers pinching the hanging yarn loosened, and she knew that the news was untrue, but then she wrinkled her eyebrows again, why did she come to another thing against the Central Plains?

Mu Changzhou glanced back at her: "My wife and I are still newly married, and now everyone in the court should know the reputation of the head of the imperial capital, even if the Central Plains will send spies, it will not be against each other." ”

He called Mrs. and looked at Zhang Junfeng, but looking back, Shun Yin knew that he was actually saying it to himself, and looked away and thought about it, what to do was the tone of openly discussing with her, obviously she shouldn't be standing here.

Mu Changzhou said again: "I think the chief manager also decided that someone had something to do with him, so he ordered a thorough investigation of these spies." ”

Zhang Jun replied: "Exactly." ”

Mu Changzhou bowed his head: "I'll report after the interrogation is clear." ”

Zhang Junfeng immediately turned around, walked towards the man, drew a horizontal knife and came out, beckoning left and right: "Take him away." ”

Shun Yin specially didn't look at the figure of the person being dragged away, turned around and walked to the backyard, what was the reaction to the spies before, and what is the reaction now, just don't know, just don't make a sound.

The footsteps behind him were calm, and Mu Changzhou followed.

Entering the backyard, Sheng Yu quickly stepped forward to greet her, took the hat she took off, and said with a glance: "The meal has been prepared, do the military secretary and his wife want to enter the hall to use it?" ”

Before Shunyin could reply, Mu Changzhou had already crossed her and walked straight to the main house: "No need, send it to the main house." ”

Shengyu immediately bowed down, glanced at Shunyin, and asked her to come over.

Shun Yin had already made up his mind when he heard their words, glanced at the figure walking out in front of him, and slowly followed.

The main house was much more spacious than the east room where she lived, and she looked twice as soon as she entered.

The furnishings in the house are unexpectedly simple, a wooden couch on the east side, a six-fold screen in the middle, and each fold is inscribed with a famous sentence of warning, which is very chic. The rest is only a wooden frame with a bow and a table, and there seems to be a map on the table.

I didn't see the bed, but I thought it was behind the screen.

She stood by the door, and saw that Mu Changzhou had loosened her sleeves, and she was inexplicably a little cramped.

Mu Changzhou had already looked at it, his eyes stopped on her face, as if he had understood, and seemed to be smiling: "Yin Niang, why should you be restrained, this is also your house." ”

Shunyin's eyes moved, and he suddenly remembered the auspicious day that he had never mentioned so far, turned his eyes to the side, took two steps inside, and said lightly: "The first time I came, I just took two more looks." ”

Fortunately, Shengyu had already brought a few maids here, came in quickly, arranged the small table, and put the food and hot soup on the table.

Mu Changzhou cleaned his hands from the clean water brought by the maid, sat down on the small case on the right, and raised his eyes to look at her.

Shunyin walked over, took a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and sat down on his left side.

Shengyu looked at them and immediately led the others to retreat.

Today, seeing that the military secretary and his wife are going out and returning together, they naturally don't want to bother much, if it weren't for the bad talk, Sheng Yu would have wanted to mention an auspicious day.

Shunyin picked up the chopsticks and glanced at the side first, Mu Changzhou was sitting there, his posture was casual but his demeanor was elegant, only at this time, she felt that he still had the shadow of his youth.

As soon as he retracted his gaze, he suddenly spoke: "Yin Niang went out today to see some new things, but I don't know how those manuscripts are written?" ”

Shun Yin thought that he might continue to talk about the spy he had caught earlier, but he suddenly mentioned the folded book, and the hand holding the chopsticks paused, and only said in the same tone: "It's still early to write the book, and the manuscript is still fragmentary." ”

Mu Changzhou stopped to look at her: "Then you might as well give me a look another day." ”

Shun Yin nodded: "As long as Second Brother Mu doesn't think I'm clumsy, I'll talk about it another day." ”

Mu Changzhou didn't say any more, and ate quietly.

Shunyin also calmly lowered her head to eat, but she didn't know the taste of food.

Even if she only wrote a few innocuous sentences in the folded book, in the face of Mu Changzhou, she still had no bottom, and even faintly felt that she was not hiding it from him, but as if he had hidden it from him because of something.

After eating the meal wordlessly, Shengyu brought the freshly brewed tea soup again.

Mu Changzhou took a lamp, got up and walked to the table, and said casually: "I just remembered that I was free today, and I also took Yinniang around, why don't you handle the letter for Yinniang, how do you think about how to reply to the letter?" ”

Shun Yin looked over, thought for a moment and said, "No, last time Second Brother Mu asked why you didn't mention your marriage in the letter, I thought you were unhappy, and I didn't want to reply for the time being." ”

The last time I delivered a message to Lu Yuan, I used sparse paper, the paper was thin and sparse, not easy to preserve, and it was easy to crumple and damage, so even if Lu Zhen didn't burn it, it wouldn't be kept for too long, but she still asked Lu Zhen to burn it. To say this now is to match the words in the paper.

Mu Changzhou looked at her: "I'm not unhappy, you can reply as much as you want, after I read it, I can send it for you today." ”

Shun Yin sat quietly, his eyes looked straight into his eyes, his eyes were calm, and he looked at her, as if he had found that she was deaf in her left ear, and as he had said that day when she reacted quickly, he was indeed determined.

She couldn't help but think that all this today was not a temptation of doubt at all, and what he did was more like he was already convinced, so he repeatedly told her directly about those things that should not have been allowed her to interfere.

With only a moment of thought in his heart, Shun Yin got up, walked to his side, stretched out his hand, took the pen on the table and handed it to him: "Then it's better for Second Brother Mu to write it himself." ”
