Lu Xianchen's abilities were mediocre, and Mu Yunxiu didn't take him seriously. There was no longer any place for Lu Xianchen in the military camp.
He narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Send someone to follow him closely and give him a surprise when the time is right."
His subordinates knew what the so-called surprise was, so they responded and immediately sent someone over to make arrangements.
After Mu Yunxiu finished explaining this, he couldn't help but cough a few more times. He glanced at the handkerchief and saw red blood stains on it.
He sighed softly after seeing this trace of blood, knowing that his life might be in danger if his condition continued any longer.
He recalled his master's judgment on him, saying that if he did not meet the woman who could make him smell her fragrance, he might die alone.
But with his current physical condition, there is a high probability that he will not live to old age, and there is no such thing as dying alone.
It's just that he is very curious about Tang Miaoxin after all. Since she came out today, he will find another opportunity to talk to her.
He "encountered" Tang Miaoxin by chance when she bought some fluffy chicks from a vendor.
It's just that he didn't know that she was buying chicks. When he passed by, the four chicks all looked at him with dark eyes, which made him a little embarrassed.
Tang Miaoxin saw his face and said happily: "Military advisor, why are you here?"
Just as Mu Yunxiu was about to speak, the chicken next to him kept chirping.
She hurriedly stretched out her hand and sprinkled some rice in the basket, and the chicken went to eat the rice quietly.
Mu Yunxiu asked her: "Why do you suddenly think of raising chickens?"
Tang Miaoxin replied: "Before I was sold by my father, I often raised chickens at home."
"My mother said that chickens are the cutest. When they grow up, the hens can lay eggs, the roosters can crow, and finally they can be stewed and eaten. It's delicious."
What she said was not entirely a lie. She was forced here by Tang Jiuge, and Lin Rufeng raised a bunch of Xiaojin every day.
Mu Yunxiu heard her say these things very naturally, and he understood why she was so greedy for money. It turned out to be poor.
He asked her: "Why did your father sell you?"
"What else could it be? Of course my family is poor!" Tang Miaoxin snorted softly: "If he doesn't sell me, how will he get the money to give my brother a wife?"
Mu Yunxiu originally wanted to help her redeem her life and send her home after the matter here was settled.
But after hearing what she said, he felt that she probably didn't want to go home.
Tang Miaoxin laughed again after seeing his expression: "Now that I have come to the palace, I want to raise a few chickens. This is my home."
Mu Yunxiu thought for a while and decided to remind her: "Chickens cannot be raised in the palace."
Tang Miaoxin was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Can't we raise it? What about my chicks? I've already bought them!"
Her eyes were red as she spoke anxiously, as if she was going to cry the next moment.
Mu Yunxiu really couldn't bear to see her like this, so he said, "How about you keep her at my place temporarily?"
Tang Miaoxin looked at him with her big watery eyes and said, "Would this bother you too much?"
Mu Yunxiu smiled slightly: "It's just a few chickens, no trouble."
When Tang Miaoxin saw him like this, she inexplicably remembered that Shuxiu had said that Mu Yunxiu treated her differently than ordinary people.
She didn't believe it before, but now she realizes that it seems to be true.
Otherwise, it is unlikely that people like Mu Yunxiu would help her raise chickens.
She knew that Mu Yunxiu was a rare smart person, sensitive and witty, and interacting with him was like walking on a tightrope.
But now that Lu Xianchen is in such a big hole, I don’t know if he will come back alive.
She was just a maid in Dingbei Palace, with a low status, anyone could deal with her.
If something happens to Lu Xianchen, she has not finished her work yet and needs to stay in Dingbei Palace for a while. She needs to find a backer for herself, and Mu Yunxiu is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Mu Yunxiu's backer is essentially a double-edged sword. If one person is not good enough, his identity will be exposed.
She was a little entangled, and as smart as she was, she couldn't think of a better solution for a while.
She reached out and touched the four fluffy chicks in the basket, and whispered: "Then... can I go see them when I'm free?"
Mu Yunxiu chuckled: "Of course."
Tang Miaoxin also laughed.
Mu Yunxiu asked her: "How did you get to the prince?"
In fact, Mu Yunxiu had asked this question indirectly before.
When she asked again at this time, Tang Miaoxin knew that he was testing her.
She was only afraid that Mu Yunxiu would be too good to her, and she was not afraid of Mu Yunxiu's temptation.
So when Mu Yunxiu tested her now, she felt no more burden.
She said softly: "I will tell you this to just one person, don't tell anyone else!"
Mu Yunxiu nodded, and Tang Miaoxin rolled her eyes and moved closer to him. He smelled the orchid fragrance on her body again, and his heart skipped a beat.
He looked Wen Ya, but in fact he was very good at managing his emotions, and his face didn't show anything at this time.
Tang Miaoxin said somewhat mysteriously: "After my father sold me, I first worked as a maid in a wealthy family."
"That family is really bad. They always bully me. If I don't listen to them, they beat me and don't give me food."
"I thought that sooner or later I would be beaten to death if this continued, so one night I ran away."
"I later learned that escaped slaves would be severely punished if caught. I didn't want to die."
"The night I was chased, a very handsome man rescued me and asked me to serve the crown prince."
Her statement was very close to Mu Yunxiu's previous guess.
His eyes were deep: "He didn't ask you to do anything?"
Tang Miaoxin nodded: "Yes, he said that I should always follow the crown prince, and someone will contact me when the time is right."
Mu Yunxiu's eyes deepened a bit, and after a while he said, "Have they contacted you recently?"
Tang Miaoxin shook her head: "No, I have never seen that person since I came to the Crown Prince."
"I guess he just casually told me that it's so far away from Jade City and they won't be able to get through."
"I will save more money in the future, buy a house here, redeem myself, and then find a way to set up a female household, so that I can live a comfortable life in the future."
These thoughts of hers are the most simple thoughts of the vast majority of people, and they are reflected in real objects, so they appear to be particularly true.
It was precisely because of this truth that Mu Yunxiu believed in the credibility of her previous words.
Mu Yunxiu asked her: "When they come to find you in the future, can you tell me?"
Tang Miao was waiting for his words, but there was some hesitation on his face.
Mu Yunxiu smiled: "If it's inconvenient..."
"Can you pay for the chickens for me?" Tang Miaoxin interrupted him.
Mu Yunxiu was stunned for a moment and did not react for a while.
