Hearing the sound of Zhong Jinwei coming back, housekeeper Yu Haining hurriedly came out to greet him and met Zhong Jinwei who had just walked in in the courtyard.
"Sir, I'm back."
"Yeah, how are you? Have you attended class today?" Zhong Jinwei asked with a smile.
Among the first people to learn Arabic numerals and multiplication yesterday was Yu Haining's grandson, but not himself.
When Yu Haining heard Zhong Jinwei ask about the class, he blushed slightly, but he was also a little proud and said: "There are still some people who haven't mastered the content that Master taught yesterday. It's up to those who have learned it to teach those who can't. I'm really old."
Yes, I just learned it last night under the guidance of my grandson."[
Zhong Jinwei laughed when he heard this. Just when he was about to speak, something was suddenly thrown outside the wall and dropped into a corner of the courtyard.
Fan Ya was watching the conversation between Zhong Jinwei and Yu Haining leisurely. When he heard the noise, several people quickly surrounded Zhong Jinwei, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Yu Haining walked over and looked at it, then bent down to pick up something and said, "Whose child was naughty and threw stones in it."
Wang Peng breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a stone. He winked at a police officer and asked him to go out and see who threw the stone. He was really brave. If he caught it, he must give him a lesson.
At this time, Yu Haining's voice was suddenly heard again: "Yes, it doesn't seem right." After saying that, he walked towards Zhong Jinwei with something in hand and said: "Sir, please look at this, there are patterns drawn on the paper wrapped with stones."
Zhong Jinwei was also a little angry. What if this stone was thrown in and hit someone?
Then I heard Yu Haining say that the stone was wrapped in paper and there were patterns on it. I was a little curious and reached out to take the paper in Yu Haining's hand to look at it.
It was a piece of white paper, similar to the size of a 4-inch paper in later generations, and was wrapped in wrinkles. On it was a picture drawn with pen and ink, as if it were drawn by a child. It was too abstract, and Zhong Jinwei did not understand it.
At this moment, there was a sound at the door. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Gu Baichuan and the fan who had gone out to check before, who had returned.
When the guard saw everyone looking at him, he shook his head and said that he didn't find the person who threw the things.
Gu Baichuan asked Zhong Jinwei a little seriously: "Uncle Zhongxing, did someone throw something into the house?"
Ordinary people would not dare to throw things into the palaces of princes and nobles. Children who are too young do not have the strength. Children who have the strength to throw stones are definitely old enough to be sensible and would not dare to throw them. Therefore, Gu Baichuan felt a little strange.
"You're back so soon. Look, you don't know what's drawn on this paper." Zhong Jinwei greeted and handed over the paper in his hand.
After Gu Baichuan took it, he looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more serious his face became. He suddenly said: "No, Uncle Zhongxing, I'm afraid Jianlu is causing trouble."
Zhong Jinwei was shocked when he heard this. Can he still contact Jianlu?
So, he walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Baichuan immediately pointed to the painting on the piece of paper and explained it to Zhong Jinwei: "Uncle Zhongxing, you see, according to my subordinates, this is the capital, this is the camp of King Qin's army, and this is Yong where Jianlu is located.
flat."
"Are you saying that these villains are spies sent by Jianlu to go to the Qinwang Army camp?" Zhong Jinwei heard what Gu Baichuan said, and he understood the meaning of each villain.
"Exactly, Uncle Zhongxing, please think about the current situation in the DPRK." Gu Baichuan reminded.[
For Zhong Jinwei, this kind of political sensitivity is far less sensitive than that of Gu Baichuan. Therefore, Gu Baichuan connected it with the court situation as soon as he saw this picture, but Zhong Jinwei never connected the two.
"Are you saying that this Jianlu faction came here to learn from Luanzhou's example and win over Lieutenant General Qin Wang's army?" Zhong Jinwei was reminded by Gu Baichuan, and this thought came to his mind.
Gu Baichuan nodded and said seriously: "My subordinates have the same idea as Uncle Zhongxing."
Zhong Jinwei's expression changed when he heard this. This Jianlu is so vicious. He really wants to take advantage of your illness to kill you. However, Zhong Jinwei still couldn't figure it out. He asked Gu Baichuan, "Who wants to tell me such a secret thing?"
I still don’t want to meet in this way.”
Gu Baichuan couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he shook his head.
"Forget it, let's not think about this for now. Let's go to King Qin's army right away and give Mr. Sun a warning." Zhong Jinwei saw that the shrewd Gu Baichuan didn't know, so he put this issue aside for now. Business is more important. While putting the paper
He put it in his arms and walked towards the door while raising his feet.
"As ordered." The officers agreed together, then escorted Zhong Jinwei, who was already walking towards the door, and went out together.
After Zhong Jinwei got on his horse, he felt anxious and let the horse gallop.
Fortunately, the street is wide and there are few pedestrians. There are usually sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages occupying the middle of the street, but there are almost none at this time. It must be because of the current government situation that these people do not go out or stay in a certain place.
Zhong Jinwei and his party did not harass the pedestrians, nor were they affected by them. They quickly left the city gate and rushed to the camp of King Qin's army.
When approaching the gate of King Qin's barracks, Zhong Jinwei slowed down his horse.
At this time, two people in ordinary civilian clothes were walking out of the gate of the camp. They first nodded and bowed to the soldiers guarding the camp gate, and then walked out.
The two men heard the sound of horse hooves and looked up. They were startled when they saw that they were several Dongchang servants. They quickly lowered their heads and moved to the side of the road.
If in the past, when Zhong Jinwei saw two civilians coming out of the barracks and the gatekeepers didn't stop them, he might have automatically figured out what they were doing instead of thinking about anything else.
But things are different now, and his vigilance has increased a lot. Zhong Jinwei stopped at the gate of the camp and looked at the two common people.
Xiao Qi, who was guarding the camp gate, saw Zhong Jinwei and his party and hurriedly came up to greet him. This Xiao Qi, who was on duty, had never seen Zhong Jinwei, but now everyone in the military camp knew that the only person in King Qin's army who was escorted by the Dongchang squadron was theirs.
Supervising the army Zhongxingbo.
Before Xiao Qi could salute, Zhong Jinwei rode on his horse, pointed his whip at the two common people and said, "Who are those two people?"
Xiao Qi showed a flattering smile and replied: "Reporting to the supervisor, they are the family members of Kong Fang, who is under the command of the general of the Xuanfu."
Gu Baichuan winked at Wang Peng, and Wang Peng led four people on horseback to surround him. The other officers and Gu Baichuan protected Zhong Jinwei.
Although the two men kept their heads lowered, their eyes were looking this way. Seeing the actions of the Dongchang officers, they became a little panicked and began to slowly retreat.
When Wang Peng saw it, he shouted: "Stop."
I don’t know if Wang Peng’s voice was too loud and scared them, or if they had something in their minds and retreated faster, and finally ran down the side of the road.[
These two people are really stupid. How can two legs outperform four legs? Wang Peng took the sword and drew his sword, urged the horse a little harder, and caught up with the two people and forced them back.
That Xiaoqi didn't know why the Dongchang captain showed hostility to these two people, and was just watching what happened.
Gu Baichuan didn't want his men to be in danger and be injured by possible trapped animals, so he shouted to the little flag: "Hurry up and tie them two up."
Xiaoqi was shouted at by Gu Baichuan, and then he hurriedly called his men to surround him.
Zhong Jinwei looked at the two common people and wondered whether they were Jianlu's agents.
Seeing that something was wrong, the two men suddenly knelt down in the direction of Zhong Jinwei and begged for mercy loudly: "Sir, have mercy. We are really Kong Fang's servants and we have not done anything illegal."
When the soldiers and officers who pressed forward saw the two men begging Zhong Jinwei for mercy, they stopped and looked at Zhong Jinwei, waiting for his instructions.
"There's nothing wrong with you, what were you running for just now?" Zhong Jinwei asked.
One of the common people raised his head and explained: "The villain is afraid of the Dongchang slaves."
Zhong Jinwei was still waiting to speak when he heard Gu Baichuan shout: "Why are you still standing there? I'm tied up."
Then he came close to Zhong Jinwei and explained: "Uncle Zhongxing, as soon as these two people spoke out, my subordinates concluded that these two people must be prisoners of war."
