Yan Wuchang was stunned, did not respond to his words, and fell into thought.

"King Yan has issued an order, and all the people who are currently conducting arms transactions in Wu have withdrawn back to make way for Skynet. The man then said to him in an emotionless tone, "Tianshu Pavilion has begun to thoroughly investigate their people in Hangzhou, that county commander, formerly named Ouyang Mo, is a Korean, as early as a few years ago, he encountered a war on the way to the Qin State to take the exam, and may have died, and was infiltrated into the Tianshu Pavilion by the remnants of the Chu State under the guise of a name. ”

Chu Mo met his gaze and sneered: "The world's number one intelligence agency, but it was undercovered, and it hasn't been discovered for several years, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

The man still said lightly: "The people of Tianshu Pavilion said that the Chu State planted a lot of undercover agents in my Dayan back then, all of which were used to cover for him, and his way was also very clean, so ......"

Yan Wuchang waved his hand at him, interrupted his words, and said coldly: "I don't want to listen to the mess of Tianshu Pavilion, you just tell me, what does King Yan want Tianwang to do?"

The man paused and said to him, "King Yan has ordered to give Skynet the highest authority, and be sure to hunt it down." ”

Yan Wuchang listened, showed a wry smile that was not easy to detect, shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I still have some clues here, you can go." ”

"Yes. The man was instructed and turned to leave.

"Wait. Yan Wuchang suddenly stopped him and said lightly, "Bring me a good message to King Yan." ”

The man turned his head and said, "Don't worry, your subordinates will definitely convey it." ”

The man left, leaving Yan Wuchang alone in front of the empty hut. The crooked-necked tree was blown by a gentle breeze and made a rattling sound.

Liu Xiaoxiao was listening to the wind outside the house, and suddenly footsteps sounded at the door.

Yan Wuchang slowly stepped over the dilapidated threshold and walked towards her.

Liu Xiaoxiao raised her head to look at him, although she didn't hear Yan Wuchang talking to the person who came, but from his murderous gaze, her heart still fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and she felt a chill.

"Are you from the Chu Kingdom?" Yan Wuchang came to her side and asked lightly.

Liu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, this question made her a little too late to react.

"I ...... It's not ......," Liu Xiaoxiao replied softly, her tone a little dazed.

Yan Wuchang stared at her gaze tightly, exuding an icy chill, and then asked, "Then why did you hand over the account book to your county magistrate?"

Liu Xiaoxiao was a little panicked, she hadn't figured out how to make this lie come true, this was the only bargaining chip she seemed to have saved her life.

"I ...... I...... It was the county magistrate who searched out of me......" Liu Xiaoxiao stammered, nervously looking at Shangyan's impermanence.

Yan Wuchang listened, sneered, leaned over, and said, "I don't expect you to be either, how can anyone sell his master, the people of Chu are not this style." ”

Liu Xiaoxiao only felt that his mind was blank, and he didn't know what his words meant.

"If that Chu Mo made that account book public, then King Yan would be in trouble, no wonder his old man was so anxious. Chu Mo muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

"I ...... I don't know anything...... Please let me go, okay?" Liu Xiaoxiao pleaded with courage, crying in her voice.

Chu Mo looked at her pale and emaciated face, and there was still a bit of a posture. He stretched out his hand, gently pinched Liu Xiaoxiao's chin, and sneered: "That's not good, you are now my only bargaining chip against Chu Mo." ”

Liu Xiaoxiao trembled, and two bean-sized tears involuntarily flowed down her cheeks because of fear.

In the middle of the night.

The night of Luqiao tonight is finally a little warm, and the dark curtain in the sky is dotted with bright stars one after another. The chirping of cicadas in the fields was louder and louder, but it could not break the silence of the long night.

Ouyang Mu took advantage of the hazy moonlight to walk past the mottled shadows under the crooked neck tree outside the thatched hut, without making a trace of movement.

She stepped lightly over the threshold of the hut and looked in, greeted by a burst of snoring.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the earthen kang behind the door, there were three people squeezed on the narrow kang, Yan Wuchang slept on the outside, holding a curled up woman in her arms, and a young girl was sandwiched between them, the three of them looked as harmonious as a family of three in a peasant family, but it was a little unnatural.

Even Ouyang Mu, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene. She knew that Yan Wuchang was very sensitive to the movements around him when he fell asleep, and he must have been aware of his arrival, but he still pretended to sleep with a woman in his arms, revealing himself in front of her.

Niu Lian between them was squeezed by the two of them, her whole body was uncomfortably hot, she stretched out her calf and kicked Yan Wuchang's waist twice, and said in a daze: "Oops...... You go down, it's such a big place, you are not allowed to bully my Sanniang...... Sanniang is Xiaolian's ......"

Yan Wuchang turned his back to Ouyang Mu, showed a smile, and said in a low voice: "Why, your Sanniang is allowed to be hugged by a little child, but not by me?"

The woman in his arms fell into a deep sleep, making a slight even breathing sound.

Ouyang Mu listened to the whispers of the two of them, and didn't know whether to disturb or not, so he stood at the door and waited quietly.

She waited for a full quarter of an hour, and Yan Wuchang looked back as if she had just woken up, pretending to be sleepy-eyed, looked at her and asked softly, "You...... Excuse me, who are you?"

Ouyang Mu looked at Yan Wuchang and pretended to be at a loss, and sighed softly in his heart. In her early years, when she was working in Tianshu Pavilion, she had already heard of Yan Wuchang's repeated temper, his consistent style was not as rigorous as most of the Yan country's intelligence agencies, carefree, and impatient as if he was a god of death from heaven, no matter who stood in front of him, he would kill him, and when he was in a good mood, he was like a naughty and mischievous boy, who didn't grow up, and joked unscrupulously with his subordinates, which was unpredictable, even in front of King Yan, he sometimes maintained this uninhibited attitude.

And for Yan Wuchang, when he is in a good mood, it seems that nothing is serious. Ouyang Mu was helpless, so she could only use her previous methods to make him a little serious.

"Lord Wang...... Don't make a fuss......" Ouyang Mu lowered his voice and said to him softly, his expression was very unnatural.

Hearing this, Yan Wuchang smiled smugly at her, like a child who had won a victory. He sat up defiantly, generously touched Liu Xiaoxiao's waist beside him, and looked at her with evil taste.

Ouyang Mu lowered his head, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Yan Wuchang stood up and walked towards the door, saying to her as he walked, "Come with me." ”

The two greeted the night and the chirping of cicadas outside the hut and came to the open space in front of the house.

The summer nights here are still a bit muggy, and you can only feel a cool breeze blowing through the hut when you step out of the hut. Yan Wuchang walked straight to the foot of the crooked neck tree, untied his clothes, began to pee without restraint, and turned around and said to Ouyang Mu: "Do you know, the people from the imperial court have come to look for me, and he said that King Yan has issued an order to give Tianwang the highest right. ”

Ouyang Mu listened quietly and didn't say a word.

"Over the years, Skynet has continued to make way for those old guys and wipe their butts, and after King Yan issued an order this time, Skynet will replace Tianshu Pavilion and become the most powerful place in Dayan. Yan Wuchang tied the strap, and continued, "This time, King Yan will definitely not give face to Tianshu Pavilion again, the prince of Chu State has mixed into Tianshu Pavilion, and those old guys can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River." ”

"Congratulations to the prince. Ouyang Mu said lightly.

Yan Wuchang turned around, looked at her, and asked, "It's not important, do you know what the news is that interests me the most?"

"Lord Wang, please speak. Ouyang Mu looked at him and said.

"Your cousin, whom you haven't met for many years, is the object of the prince of Chu State's pretense of identity, Ouyang Mo. Yan Wuchang smiled at her and said.

Ouyang Mu frowned after hearing this, and said without a trace of emotion: "Then, does the prince mean to doubt me?"

Yan Wuchang shook his head slightly, walked leisurely behind her, and said, "That's not it, since you came to Yan Kingdom, you have completely cut off contact with the Ouyang family. ”

"What does the prince mean......" Ouyang Mu turned around and asked at his back.

"I'm just a little curious, why would someone like you want to come to Yan Kingdom and join this Skynet where no one is a ghost or a ghost. Yan Wuchang raised his head and looked at the endless night sky.

Ouyang Mu was stunned, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, it doesn't matter. Yan Wuchang turned back to her and said, "There is another question, on the night you left, I got the account book that King Yan and his old man wanted, and the flying pigeon passed the book to let you come back, why was it so late?"

Ouyang Mu seemed to have expected him to ask this question, so he took out a hard stone tool from his arms, handed it to him, and said, "Lord Wang, I was trapped in Hangzhou after several days of heavy rain, and I encountered this thing by the way. ”

Yan Wuchang looked at the stone tool in her hand, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "What is this?"

"On the night I arrived in Hangzhou, a tomb robber came to cause trouble, and I killed him and got something from him. Ouyang Mu said to him, "I think you might be interested." ”

"Tomb robber?" Yan Wuchang turned around, took the stone tool in her hand, glanced at it by the moonlight, and said, "This texture doesn't look like an antiquity, you go on." ”

"Lord Wang, this is a piece of material used to cast a sword, because it resembles a butterfly, so it is called a butterfly stone, and it is specially made for polishing the blade of the sword. Ouyang Mu explained to him, "This butterfly stone has been abandoned, and its two ends have been worn through by the blade of the sword, and it can no longer be used. And now most of the swords that can be used for butterfly stones are valuable famous swords, and most of them are used in the workshops of the Qin State. But where this butterfly stone is worn through, it is as thin as fine yarn. ”

Yan Wuchang listened, pulled out the short sword on his waist, and compared it to the cracks at both ends of the butterfly stone, and the sharp blade could not be inserted into half a slight.

"Then you mean that this butterfly stone is a good sword. Yan Wuchang raised his head and said to her.

Ouyang Mu nodded and said, "That's right." It is rumored that the world's leading swordsmithing workshop in the Qin State has a habit of burying all discarded materials in the ground after casting swords, so as to prevent others from stealing and snooping on their sword-casting skills. The question is, this butterfly stone should not have been unearthed for too long, Qin Guo is hundreds of miles away from here, why did he dig up the butterfly stone in Hangzhou?"

"Wu Guo...... Is there a swordsmith from the Qin State here?" Yan Wuchang asked following her words.

"The swordsmiths in the swordsmithing workshop of the Qin State forged swords in other countries, which is a taboo in itself, and the only one who can have this privilege is only one person. Ouyang said.

Yan Wuchang looked at her, thought for a while, and asked, "The sword forger who ranks first on the world's swordsman list?"

Ouyang Mu nodded again and said, "The few days I have been delaying are to find out his whereabouts, his existence will make us very troublesome, and no one knows what his position is." It's a pity that nothing was found. ”

Yan Wuchang bowed slightly at her, took the butterfly stone into his arms, and said, "I understand, you don't have to pay attention to these things, I have my own arrangements." The crown prince of Chu has left Hangzhou, and he still has an account book in his hand, which is our top priority. ”
