Mu Changzhou was standing there, holding the arrest report that had just been delivered from the other city gates.

"Military Division, it seems that this place has been cleared, and no spies have been found nearby." Zhang Junfeng said behind him, while looking at his robe.

Mu Changzhou has never returned to the house, and today he is still wearing the robe sent by Shunyin, the general closed it, turned around and said: "The chief manager allows me to deal with this matter with full authority and prepare to go to Ganzhou." ”

Zhang Junfeng asked: "When does the military secretary plan to leave?" ”

"As soon as possible." After Mu Changzhou finished speaking, he walked down the dirt slope, and several fast horses had already arrived in the distance, stepping out of a burst of dust and smoke.

Hu Xiao'er took the lead, rushed to the front and hurriedly reined in the horse.

Mu Changzhou stopped: "It's so urgent, is it the movement of the Central Plains?" ”

Hu Xiao'er laughed dryly: "As before, there is no movement." We guarded against it at the junction, and we didn't stop anything, but we stopped a few messengers. He said and took out a letter from his bosom, "Coincidentally, there is a letter sent to Madame, sent by Qinzhou, I expected it to be sent by the angry Feng Langjun, so I simply brought it, anyway, in the end, it was all from the hands of the military secretary!" He staggered the letter over.

Mu Changzhou took it, and it was indeed written on the envelope that it was from Qinzhou, and he took two steps away before opening the envelope.

Feng Wuji's letter was not written for a long time, only a few sentences, as before, it seemed that it was all ordinary things, and they were all ordinary greetings, just concerned about Shunyin's recent situation and asked her why she didn't reply to the letter for a long time. The sentences and the words are the same as in the previous letter.

The same quirky.

Mu Changzhou held the letter in one hand, his eyes were still looking, and the other hand had reached into the placket, took out a folded jute paper, and unfolded it, inside was the letter from the last time.

Others may not see the oddity, but he can see it. It was because of the oddity that he had already copied it.

The two sheets of paper were put together, and he compared them one by one, line by line.

The sun in the sky was getting more and more tilted, and the light had faded, and after listening to the search and arrest report from another group of patrol soldiers, Hu Xiao'er turned his head to look, only to find that the military secretary was still standing there, motionless, and he didn't know why he had to look at it for so long.

Zhang Junfeng couldn't help but glance there.

At least after another moment, Mu Changzhou raised his head, his eyes took off the letter in his hand, and there was a slight smile on his lips.

I see, I hope he guessed correctly.

"The military secretary?" Hu Xiao'er craned her neck to look at him.

Mu Changzhou put the paper and letter into his clothes, strode downhill, led the horse, and flipped up.

Hu Xiao'er was surprised and asked, "The military secretary doesn't personally arrest the spies?" ”

"Catch." Mu Changzhou raised it lightly, "You catch you, I'll catch mine." With that, he pulled the reins and rode back to the city.

CHAPTER XX

Shunyin went out of the house early this morning.

Since Mu Changzhou asked her to watch the scenery by herself, she also fully cooperated and did not be forbidden to the mansion, otherwise wouldn't he be said to be uncomfortable again?

So after getting up this morning, she made some preparations, received the rain, and rode into the streets of the city.

The city of Liangzhou is prosperous, the streets are wide, the squares are neat, and it takes a lot of time to walk around.

Now that the sun is setting, she is wearing a hat and standing on the corner of Nancheng Street, watching a few big-eater orchids perform their own tricks.

In fact, it is not new, I saw it in Chang'an in the early years, but she can't observe any military defense affairs at this time, saying that it is to observe the scenery, and it is really just to look at the scenery and customs in the city.

Sheng Yu led her horse and led a group of guards to follow behind, Seeing that the sun was fading in the sky, she approached her right and asked, "It's not too early, Madame still needs to go to other places in the city to see?" ”

Shunyin lifted the hat veil and looked at the sky, and shook his head: "No need, go back." ”

Katsuyu immediately led the horse to her.

Shunyin took the reins, and before she stepped on the stirrups, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure standing on the side of the road, looking at her, and stopped and said to Shengyu: "Wait a minute." With that, he let go of the reins and walked towards the side of the road.

In a silk shop on the side of the road, there was a young girl standing not far from the door, wearing a green skirt, with clear eyebrows and unblinking eyes watching her approach.

Shunyin walked over, looked at her twice, and called, "Miss Lu." ”

It was Lu Zhengnian, Lu Zhen's daughter, who saw that she had been looking at herself, and always felt like she had something to say, so Shun Yin came over.

Lu Zhengnian looked at her, didn't make a sound, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Shunyin specially stood close to the right, but she didn't hear her speak, thinking that she couldn't speak? As soon as she thought of this, she seemed to have realized, looked up and explained: "Madame, don't misunderstand, I'm not dumb. ”

"......" Shun Yin didn't know what to say for a while, and nodded.

Lu Zhengnian looked at her again, and then finally said: "My father said that there is a private matter entrusted by my wife, and it is not good to come over and tell it myself at the moment, so it is better for me to pass on the news." ”

Shunyin suddenly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Zhengnian looked towards the road, leaned closer, blocked with his body, and took out a small paper wrapped in thin wraps from his sleeve and gave it to her.

Shun Yin took it, turned sideways and unfolded it, and inside were a few words from Lu Yi: There was an accident in the matter entrusted by Mrs., just because Hu Fantou has been staring at the direction of the Central Plains recently, and today the letter post pawn came to report that there was a letter from Qinzhou, but it was intercepted by Hu Fantou while still on the road......

She frowned, the paper in her hand crumpled into a ball.

Worries still come. Feng Wujian really came to the letter, but he was stopped by Hu Xiao'er, and it must have been seen by Mu Changzhou.

Lu Zhengnian looked at her from the side.

Shunyin came back to his senses, and the paper ball in his hand became tighter and tighter, almost crumpled and put into his sleeve, but his face was still calm: "Thank you." With that, he turned around and walked back.

Sheng Yu saw her go to the side of the road and say a few words to the daughter of Lu Thorn's family, and thought it was a common gossip, so he handed her the reins of the horse: "Madam, please go back, it's getting dark." ”

Shunyin stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse's back, pulled the reins with her fingers, and had already beaten the horse out, and immediately turned around, almost taking the wrong way.

When I returned to the military secretary's office, the curfew had arrived, and it was just getting dark.

Shengyu thought that his wife must be tired, and helped her off the horse with both hands.

Shunyin's feet stepped on the ground, and the thoughts that had been floating all the way seemed to fall to the ground, glanced at the gate of the Military Division's Mansion, took off his hat and handed it to Shengyu, shook his fingers, and walked towards the mansion.

The house is brightly lit, and it doesn't look like there is no main house.

She walked all the way to the backyard, and made all kinds of expectations in her heart: maybe Mu Changzhou saw the letter, maybe he was too busy to read it at all, maybe he saw it but didn't find anything. But for some reason, she thought that the most likely thing was that he had seen the letter and found something......

It was the worst-case scenario, but she thought it was the most likely.

In the backyard, there was not a single attendant maid, and it was very quiet.

Walking all the way along the corridor, the east house was already in front of her, she stopped, and comforted herself as she did every time she encountered: "It's okay, it's okay...... " After speaking, she grabbed the sideburns in her left ear with one hand, and walked straight to the door.

The door was open, the interior was brightly lit, and the wind on the door was swaying gently.

When Shunyin saw it, her heart tightened, and she immediately stepped in, and saw the long figure in the room at a glance.

Mu Changzhou stood at the table, wearing the deep Dai robe she sent by herself, holding a folded book in one hand, looking down, hearing the movement, he turned his head to look at her.

Shun Yin met his gaze, shook his fingers lightly in his sleeve, and asked lightly, "Why did Second Brother Mu come back early?" As she spoke, she glanced at the folded book in his hand, which was the one she had recently written.

Mu Changzhou looked at her: "Naturally, I came back for Yinniang." ”

Shunyin was only separated from him by a horizontal table, and he heard every word, and stood silently, knowing that it was probably the worst outcome.

Mu Changzhou glanced at the folded book: "Originally, I wondered why Yin Niang liked to write about what I had seen and heard, but later I found out that you are familiar with military affairs but deliberately hide it, and it is not until now that I understand that it is all 'for other purposes'." ”

Shunyin asked, "What is it used for?" ”

"Spy on the military affairs of Liangzhou and use it as a spy for the imperial capital of the Central Plains." Mu Changzhou said it word by word, clearly.

Shunyin's face did not change at all: "How can you see it?" ”

Mu Changzhou reached into his placket, took out today's letter from Wu Ji, pressed it on the table, and pushed it in front of her.

Shun Yin glanced down, didn't take it, didn't speak, just looked at him calmly.

Mu Changzhou walked around the horizontal table and took a step to her right: "Poetry talks about rhythm and has its own rules." If you set the rules and rules for the letters, and then change them, you can formulate different forms of letters, and then fill them with words to make them look normal. However, those who know the inside story can know the true content of the letter as long as they see the format and deduce the decrypted words corresponding to the format one by one. ”

Shunyin's fingers in his sleeves clenched suddenly, only expecting him to see the clues, but he didn't expect him to see that the key was the format. This format is all determined by words, and outsiders do not know, and it is impossible to know, how he ......

Her heart churned, but she didn't move her eyes, still pursing her lips and saying nothing.

Mu Changzhou unfolded the folded book in his hand, looked at the sentence she wrote, and took a step closer: "Huining Pass, one hundred and eighty miles southwest of Huizhou, the head of the city is ......" The words stopped, he looked up, "There is no record in the back, I don't know what Yin Niang relied on to remember." ”

Naturally, it is by heart. But Shunyin didn't say anything, but the fingers in his sleeves clenched again. In these few sentences, only the position of one hundred and eighty miles in the previous sentence is directly stated, because it is irrelevant. The back of the city is related to the secret language used, and what is written on the folded book is just a description of the landscape, but he can see that she is writing the city head.

Mu Changzhou saw that she was still silent, took another step, and stood on her right side: "How can Yin Niang forget, I have lived with you in the Feng family for four years. ”

Shun Yin's heart moved, his eyes finally changed, and his clenched fingers were loosened, Huo Ran understood why he had that feeling before-it didn't look like he was hiding it from him, but like he was hiding it from himself about something.

It turns out that this is the stake, and he knows it himself.

She finally opened her lips and asked in a steady voice, "What does Second Brother Mu want to say?" ”

Mu Changzhou said: "In those four years, your father and brother were very good to me, and even discussed a little with me because I was a scholar, so I had already seen this. He paused, then added, "It's just that they know that you are estranged from me, and they never mentioned it to you." ”

"......" Sure enough, Shunyin's heart was like a blow, but she never thought that this blow would come from her family. What he had worked so hard to hide had been entrusted to him as early as his youth.

Mu Changzhou pressed the folded book and suddenly asked, "Where did Wu Confusion go?" He is the one I have talked about the most in the past. ”

Shunyin was like another blow, and she was her eldest brother. Feng Wufu, the eldest son of the Feng family. She opened her lips, "Gone." ”

Mu Changzhou remembered that she had said that her family was gone or gone, and asked, "Where did you go?" ”

Shunyin's face was like frost: "It's gone, it's not where I'm going." ”

Mu Changzhou was stunned and nodded: "That's right, he is the eldest son, if it weren't for the loss, he shouldn't have abandoned the Feng family." ”

Shun Yin heard him say such an understatement, just like when she asked about her family before, her heart felt like she had been pulled up fiercely, and she sank to the bottom: "Second Brother Mu has anything else to say, it's better to say it together." ”

Mu Changzhou turned his gaze on her face and looked into her eyes: "I heard that the Feng family was defeated because of crime, do you want to use this to make Feng Wujian rise to the top, and then overturn the case for your father after revitalizing the Feng family?" ”

Shun Yin glanced at him: "I only know that I am responsible for the Feng family." ”

Mu Changzhou wanted to ask what responsibility was, but when he saw her cold eyes, he didn't ask.

Shun Yin's heart had calmed down, and the calmer he was, the more cold his face became, and he stretched out his hands towards him: "If Second Brother Mu wants to rely on these judgments to convict me, then he will tie me up at any time and let me be disposed of." ”

Mu Changzhou glanced at her hand, and still didn't see any trace of panic in her, and even until this moment, she could see that he was saying this by judgment, and his eyes couldn't help but fix on her face, and he didn't move away for a long time: "Isn't that cheaper Yin Niang." ”

Shun Yin's eyebrows frowned, and he suddenly took a step closer beside him, casting a shadow in front of her, and she even subconsciously wanted to retreat and avoid it, but she held back.

Mu Changzhou was close to her, clasped her outstretched wrist with one hand, and said, "Yin Niang has this talent, why don't you help me?" ”

Shun Yin was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, and thought he had misheard: "What did you say?" ”

"When I knew this, it was just a prototype, but now it is mature, and I have my own rules, and I can't understand the details." Mu Changzhou looked at her with a deep look, "So it's Yin Niang who perfects this set of rules, you know definitely more than that." ”

Shun Yin's eyes moved slightly, and he expected that even if he took the lead, he would not know the details, the Feng family was still exploring at the beginning, even if he told him, it was limited, and sure enough, he guessed what she did by judgment. She made up her mind and went back: "Second Brother Mu is not afraid of guessing wrong?" ”

"I guessed wrong, and I admitted it." Mu Changzhou stared at her face, "Except for me, no one in Liangzhou can discover Yin Niang's ability, it should be right." ”
