Chapter 106: The Yellow-clothed messenger of the Tang Dynasty
With Li Huaiyu's special care, the people at the inn naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly prepared two rooms for us to stay, and the donkeys were also led to the stables to enjoy the treatment of military horses. Qiu Yue knelt down on the couch, Persian
The kitten was lying aside, and Wood and I were standing on the ground with our hands down. On the surface, Miss Cui was lecturing us servants, but in fact we were discussing the next step.
"I don't know when Li Huaiyu will come back?" I asked softly.
Wood lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry about that. He should be going to greet the eunuchs coming from the capital. He will probably arrive here before dinner. Didn't you see the cook at the inn preparing meals?"
"By the way, you just said you should be careful about Mr. Zhang, so do we need to prepare anything?" Qiu Yue was a little worried about Mr. Zhang.
"You don't need to worry about this. Just let me monitor him. Even if he tries to play any tricks, he won't be able to escape my eyes. Miss Qin, you just need to focus on communicating with Li Huaiyu. I told you before
If so, you haven't forgotten it." Wood was not nervous about Mr. Zhang's matter, he was just worried that Qiu Yue would make some mistakes.
"I haven't forgotten it. It's just that some things are really embarrassing to do." Qiu Yue said with a look on her face.
The Persian cat next to me stood up, and I suddenly stepped forward to hug it and whispered in its ear: "Just stop making noises. It's okay if others hear you."
The Persian cat was quite obedient. It just meowed a few times without making a human sound. Before I could react, the cat broke away from my arms and jumped onto Wood's shoulder.
There was a low whisper in his ear, and the voice was extremely faint. I stood next to Wood and pricked up my ears to listen, and I could barely hear it.
"Miss Qin and I had already discussed it when we were in the car. When we have normal dealings with Li Huaiyu, she will do it. If we need to use a beauty trap, then I will do it. How about that?" Chiyoko suggested in Wood's ear.
road.
"As long as you can achieve your goal, you can arrange things between you. However, when you exchange bodies, you must inform me in advance. I will provide you with frequency field cover, otherwise you will be easily detected by the sub-realm and the Yuan Realm.
If that happens, we will be very busy." Wood put his mouth to the Persian cat's ear and whispered.
The Persian cat stretched its neck, shook its head rapidly, and then jumped back on the couch, leaving only some thin cat hair hanging on Wood's beard. Wood, however, had no expression on his face and did not pay attention to the beard.
The hair hanging on the clothes stood motionless.
There was a knock on the door behind me, and I hurriedly turned around to open the door. I saw two soldiers following Mr. Zhang. One was holding a copper basin filled with water, and the other was carrying a three-layer exquisite food box.
.
Mr. Zhang smiled and cupped his hands, and said: "I apologize for the poor reception, Miss Cui. If you dare to ask Miss Cui to cleanse your face first, I have prepared some simple food here. I hope Miss will not dislike it." After that, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to take it.
The food box was placed on the table, and the copper basin filled with water was placed on the wooden shelf in the room.
Qiu Yue stood up from the couch and saluted slowly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for taking care of me and taking your trouble."
Mr. Zhang quickly returned the courtesy and said: "I'm just worried that the reception is not good. It's better that Miss Cui doesn't take offense. How dare I ask for the word 'thank you' from Miss Cui? Miss Cui doesn't need to be polite. If you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
Qiu Yue smiled and said no more. Master Zhang was also very knowledgeable and saluted again and said: "If the young lady has no other instructions for the time being, I will leave first. If you have other instructions, just summon the soldiers at the door at any time."
.”
Qiu Yue's expression became stern, then she regained her composure, and told me: "Shuangcheng, send Mr. Zhang off for me." After saying that, she sat back on the couch, held the Persian cat in her arms and stroked it.
.
I sent Mr. Zhang to the door. He asked the two soldiers to stand at the door and ordered: "You two are on guard here and no idlers are allowed to harass you. If Miss Cui has any instructions, please report to me immediately."
The two soldiers held their swords in their hands and replied in unison: "Here."
So Master Zhang left with satisfaction, hands behind his back, without even saying a word to me. He seemed to disdain to talk to me, little Qingyi. I looked at his back, wondering if this person would be harmful to us.
But judging from his current behavior, he is wary of us. In the name of protection, he is under house arrest. It seems that the situation is not optimistic.
When we were almost full, the sound of horse hooves outside the camp gate and the shouts of the guards were mixed together, and then it became quiet again. Only the sound of "dede" horse hoofbeats and the shaking of the armor leaves on the soldiers came.
Master Zhang's respectful voice came from outside: "I respectfully welcome the Governor and the Young General. Please take a rest in the big tent."
Oh, it seems that Li Huaiyu has received the military governor. I looked out through the crack of the window and saw that the leader was a messenger in yellow riding a white horse, followed by four strong men in white, each with a waist knife.
, looking around fiercely, the man in yellow on the white horse looked even more arrogant, Li Huaiyu followed closely behind, Master Zhang personally held the bridle of the envoy in yellow, and slowly walked towards the big tent.
Go.
There is actually a large tent in the inn. I guess it was specially built to welcome this envoy in yellow. He was just a eunuch, so powerful. I was watching with interest when there was a "dong" sound on the window lattice.
After shaking a few times, the soldier outside the door shouted sharply: "What are you looking at? Don't worry about your head?"
Tsk, it scared me. I slapped the window lattice angrily, took a few steps back angrily, turned around and sat down at the table. Fortunately, someone outside the door called the two soldiers to lead the way for the cavalry, which was a good way to get rid of these two soldiers.
What a colorless doorkeeper.
Wood signaled me not to make a mistake, then turned around and said to Qiu Yue: "In this inn, you and Miss Chiyoko should not switch bodies for now. I feel something is wrong, especially the messenger in yellow and the four people behind him.
Those in white shirts have somewhat different frequency fields.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue asked nervously: "Are they the same as us?"
Wood hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm not completely sure yet, because the convoy behind them is carrying a large amount of earth-forming raw materials for covering the earth-burning blade. I don't know if these have affected their frequency field. I still want to know.
Observe and observe again.”
After Wood said this, I recalled that when I looked outside just now, there were indeed several large cars following those people.
I asked Wood: "You didn't even look outside, how did you know what was going on outside?"
Wood laughed and replied: "It would be really ridiculous if I couldn't even do that."
Qiu Yue was obviously more concerned about Li Huaiyu's situation. She asked Wood: "Where is Li Huaiyu? Is there anything wrong with him?"
Wood looked at Qiu Yue, a little confused, and asked: "Miss Qin, what situation are you referring to?"
"What I mean is, will Li Huaiyu be controlled by those people and have an adverse impact on our plan?" Qiu Yue replied nervously.
Wood shook his head and said: "It's not that bad. At most, I have to listen to the eunuch's orders. No matter what, this is also the territory of Hedong Jiedushi. Even if this eunuch is used to being arrogant and domineering, he still needs to restrain himself."
"But, the war is raging now, why is this eunuch coming here to cause trouble?" Qiu Yue continued to ask.
Wood smiled slightly and replied: "This is the reason why we are here. Now in the court, the great eunuch Yu Chaoen has all the power. The current emperor obeys his words, and Yu Chaoen has always been fond of Li Guangbi.
He wanted to use Li Guangbi to put down the rebels, but he was also worried that Li Guangbi would steal his limelight due to his military exploits, thereby threatening his own power."
"That's not surprising. This happens all over China's history." I replied.
Qiu Yue rolled her eyes at me and said, "You are everywhere, so I won't ask why this time. Just listen to what Wood has to say and don't interrupt."
"Because of the intense war, the loss of weapons on the front line is also large. In order to replenish the best weapons, it is necessary to prepare soil to make high-quality Tang knives. This eunuch is here to escort the raw materials and the mixing box. By the way,
Under the guise of a labor force, he actually supervises weapons manufacturing and the movements of frontline military camps." Wood continued to explain.
"The raw material soil? And the mixing box? So, now the car is filled with semi-finished products!" I couldn't help but interjected and asked again.
Just as Wood was about to answer, another question of mine blurted out: "What's the mixing box?"
Qiu Yue's slap came over and flattened my double-ringed bun. She said bitterly: "Why do you have so many problems? Why don't you let Wood finish talking?"
Wood suddenly signaled us to be quiet, and Qiu Yue and I quickly silenced ourselves. Not long after, footsteps came from outside the door.
"Miss Cui, are they here?" This was Li Huaiyu's voice.
"Yes, Major General." Master Zhang's voice answered.
I quickly lowered my hands and stood next to Wood. Qiu Yue was also sitting upright on the couch. I hugged the Persian cat and slowly stroked it in my arms.
