Chapter 56 Moonlight Visitor
Yu Du and Guan Gu left the residence, quickly left the county town, and headed for the military camp.
Zhu Gu carried the package with a complicated expression and sighed: "I went back to the county town and met the Grand Marshal. Yu Du, we met the Grand Marshal, how can we explain when we returned to the military camp? Should we go to the county government first and report the Grand Marshal's affairs to the lord?"
Yu Du stopped, remained silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.
Guan Gu frowned and said, "Don't you say it? What if the lord knows it?"
Yu Du said in a deep voice: "Only you and I know what happened to the Grand Marshal. If we don't tell me, and the Grand Marshal will definitely not be able to promote it, so no other people will know. Our surrender to the lord is a blow to the Grand Marshal. If it were the other people, they would have turned against each other. But the Grand Marshal asked us to leave, and this kind of kindness must be repayed. Moreover, we were the subordinates of the Grand Marshal. We followed the Grand Marshal and had brotherly feelings, and we could not betray the Grand Marshal."
The key points are focused and agree with the theory of poison.
Yu Du continued: "On the other hand, the lord values us very much and trusts us, so we cannot obey the command of the Grand Marshal and betray the lord, and can only draw a clear line with the Grand Marshal. Since today, we have no relationship with the Grand Marshal and the Black Mountain Army. This matter is broken in our hearts, do you understand?"
Guan Gu nodded and said, "I understand that we conceal this matter, which not only fulfills our kindness to the general, but also continues to be loyal to the lord. In the past, we will be a member of Wuji County in the future."
Yu Du looked back at the direction of Wuji County and rushed towards the military camp without looking back.
The two people gradually disappeared outside the city.
...
County government office, study room.
The oil lamp was swaying, and Wang Lei was reading with candles. The books in his study were all collected by the county government, and the previous officials had almost no management. After Wang Lei took over, he moved all the books to his study. Although Wang Lei had memories of later generations and novel ideas, and was not subject to the constraints of this era, the necessary foundation for him to gain a foothold in this life is still necessary.
There is no doubt that reading is the best way to enrich yourself. Especially many military books in the county government offices refreshed Wang Lei. After reading a volume of "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, he walked to the bookshelf and prepared to take down a volume of "Spring and Autumn" bamboo slips.
After reading for a long time, Wang Lei could not find it.
"Xiao Yu!"
Wang Lei couldn't find the book and shouted.
The door opened and Guo Yu moved in. Before Guo Yu met Wang Lei, he was short of nutrition due to long-term wandering, and his face was pale and thin, as thin as a bamboo pole. After following Wang Lei, he was well-nutrition and his body quickly recovered. His body became slightly plump, his face became shy, and his pink face was shy. Although he was still a little girl, there was a beautiful posture between his eyebrows and a beautiful look. She and her sister, Queen Guo, stayed in the county government office, responsible for taking care of Wang Lei's daily life and cleaning the study, etc.
Therefore, Wang Lei directly asked Guo Yu.
"Young Master!"
Guo Yu stood in front of Wang Lei and saluted respectfully.
Wang Lei smiled and said softly: "There are every volume of "Spring and Autumn" on the bookshelf. The last time I looked through it, I noticed that there is the second volume of "Spring and Autumn" on the bookshelf. I just read it but didn't find it. Do you know where it is?"
“Ah~~”
Guo Yu exclaimed, then plopped down and knelt down.
Wang Lei frowned and said, "What's wrong? Get up quickly and don't kneel on the ground at any time."
Guo Yu did not get up, lowered his head, and seemed to have made a mistake and waited for punishment, saying, "Young Master, I took the second volume. Please punish me."
Wang Lei helped Guo Yu up and said, "What did you do with the second volume of "Spring and Autumn"? There must be a reason."
Guo Yu replied truthfully: "It's my sister who wants to study, so I took the young master's books to her for her to read. This is my fault and it has nothing to do with her. Please don't punish her. She is young and ignorant."
Wang Lei chuckled twice and said with a smile: "What do I punish you? Queen Guo can read books at such a young age. It's great. Since the second volume is in her hands, let her read another book. If you want to read books in the future, just take it directly without any scruples."
Wang Lei was also quite surprised. Queen Guo could read "Spring and Autumn" at the age of six or seven, which was no less than a child prodigy. Of course, this was also the fact that Guo Yu and Queen Guo had a good family background, so they could learn to read early.
"Thank you, young master!"
Guo Yu looked grateful and was in a state of excitement.
The look at Wang Lei had a more indescribable look.
"Go down!"
Wang Lei waved his hand and Guo Yu said, "Young Master, I have cooked chicken soup. Please wait for a while and I will bring it to you." She turned around and left the study room. Not long after, she walked in with a bowl of slightly hot chicken soup. After Wang Lei finished drinking it, Guo Yu left the study room with satisfaction, leaving Wang Lei alone in the study room.
Under the moonlit night, the room was quiet, and only the sound of Wang Lei turning the bamboo slips. At some point, Wang Lei put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said lightly: "You have been waiting outside the door for so long, come in."
“Cruff!!”
The door opened and two men in black walked in.
These two people were Zhang Yan and Bai Luo. The defense power of the county government was not strong. Dian Wei, Yu Du and others were all in the military camp. In addition, Wang Lei did not have a close guard or guard, so the two were able to enter quietly.
Wang Lei didn't notice it at first, but the room was silent and he soon noticed the movement outside the door.
When he saw the visitor, he raised his eyebrows and showed a look of surprise.
The commander of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan, actually came to Wuji County. The commander of the Black Mountain Army is so bold! Wang Lei smiled and waved his hand and said, "The two people entered the county government office on a moonlit night. It's so elegant, sit down!"
Zhang Yan sat down casually and said, "It is also admirable that the magistrate Wang is not surprised when dealing with things."
Wang Lei said: "March chuckled, it's not me who should worry about, but you two. As long as I shout, the soldiers from the county government will surround you, and you can't escape with your wings."
Zhang Yan laughed and retorted: "Mr. Wang is a smart man, so he will not do this. Besides, before I came to the county government, I had already ordered that if I did not return to the mountains, all the Black Mountain troops would kill Wuji County. At that time, even if the magistrate Wang is using troops like a god, it would be difficult to withstand the attacks of tens of thousands of elite troops."
Wang Lei sneered and said lightly: "To take down Marshal Zhang, you don't have to kill people, and arresting is also a good way. With Marshal Zhang in my hands, the Black Mountain Army dare not move."
Zhang Yan's expression changed, thinking that the boy in front of him was difficult to deal with.
Wang Lei did not bother about this matter. He changed the subject and said, "Mr. Zhang is also a stimulating person. He is busy with affairs and will not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Come to visit me tonight, what are you going to give me advice?"
Zhang Yan sat upright and said aloud: "Mr. Wang is wise and Yan admires me. This time I came to visit the county magistrate to ask about an old story about my Taiping Army and want to verify it from the adults."
Wang Lei said curiously: "This is strange. I am only eighteen years old this year. When the Yellow Turban gathered, I was young and still wandering in Ye County. It is impossible for me to have anything to do with the Taiping Army."
Zhang Yan said seriously: "Yan naturally won't make a mistake. I dare to ask County Magistrate Wang, who gave you the black golden snake spear?"
In one sentence, a huge wave suddenly appeared in Wang Lei's heart.
