Judging from the other party's actions of tricking her into entering the secret room and his inconsistent words, he was probably lying.
But she was still uneasy in her heart.
My grandfather was naturally safe and sound before he left the capital, but what happened after he left the capital? What if someone really got the emperor's instructions and did something secretly?
"Counting the days, the Duke should have just arrived at Dongyuan City, which is at the beginning of the war. The safety of the commander of the army is related to the morale of the army and even the success or failure of the war -" Wu Chao objectively analyzed: "Even if the emperor wants to take action
, it should not be chosen at this time.”
Xu Mingyi nodded, she naturally understood these principles, but the Dog Emperor had always been impersonal, so she really couldn't treat him with peace of mind and follow common sense.
Wu Chao did not persuade her to rest assured, and then said: "But in this battle with the Li clan, the Duke has a good chance of winning, and the Duke is not a warlike person. As long as the other party is willing to surrender, it may not take much time."
The war can be ended - and in the current situation, we really need to be more prepared. We can send trustworthy and sensitive people to Dongyuan as soon as possible to secretly inquire about the situation of the Duke."
This is exactly what Xu Mingyi wanted to hear.
Although she had repeatedly told Uncle Qin to send a message back to the capital in time if something strange happened, she was afraid that there might be something that Uncle Qin would not be able to detect in time, or that something would go wrong in the process of sending the message.
Therefore, it is better for people to go and take a look.
"If it is really related to my grandfather's physical safety, it may be necessary to ask a person who is proficient in medical skills to accompany him to truly prevent accidents..." Xu Ming said thoughtfully.
Although there was an accompanying military doctor, she still preferred to trust the people she sent.
At this juncture, there can be no carelessness or luck.
And ordinary doctors may not be useful...
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but think of Akui.
Although Akui usually takes more of the blame for her, the little girl is really studious and has some foundation, so she has learned a lot of real skills from her in the past year.
Seeing that she seemed to have made up her mind, Wu Chao said: "This matter must not alert the emperor's eyes and ears. We must cover up the situation along the way. Be careful. Even if you get close to Dongyuan City, you must not go directly to the military camp with great fanfare."
"That's right." Xu Mingyi nodded. He thought very carefully and long-term. Even though the Xu family's army was very strict, he would never dare to say that there was no spy from the emperor.
In order to prevent being noticed, it is better to do everything secretly, so that you can take the initiative.
"I'll write a letter to Uncle Qin first and ask him to make arrangements as soon as possible."
"There is no need to go to such trouble. Since we have to leave as early as possible, the letter may not arrive before others." Wu Chao said: "There is a hidden stake of the Wu family in Dongyuan City, and they have secret contacts with the Duke of the country. I asked Xiao Wu to go with him.
, with him arranging and managing everything together, it will be more secure and smooth."
When it comes to the secret forces originating from various places in Daqing and their methods of doing business, the Xu family is undoubtedly inferior to the Wu family.
It would be great if Xiao Wu could accompany A Kui.
At the moment, safety is the priority in everything. Xu Mingyi had no reason to refuse. She turned to look at him and said, "I'm going to trouble you again——"
When Wu Chao heard the words, his feet slowed slightly and he turned to look at her. Just when he was about to say something, the wind suddenly picked up and the rainwater came diagonally.
He subconsciously took another step closer to her, half leaning in front of her, blocking all the wind and rain behind him.
Xu Mingyi looked at the tall and tall young man close at hand, thinking about everything that happened tonight, no matter how big or small, he seemed to have been standing in front of her like this.
It was raining heavily at this time, and the strong wind was making the raindrops dance wildly, but the small area of the world she was in seemed to be protected from wind and rain.
Shelter from wind and rain.
She has heard these four words so often that it seems to be a very common illusion, so there seems to be nothing worth pondering and savoring. But at this moment, feeling his protection, the peace and touch in her heart are indescribable.
.
When the wind calmed down, Wu Chao held up the umbrella and continued to lead her forward.
However, in the next moment, a hand suddenly grasped under the hand holding his umbrella——
The girl's fingers were slender and cool, half holding the umbrella handle and half touching his hand. She used some strength on her hand to straighten the umbrella body that was originally leaning towards her. She also moved closer to him, allowing both of them to
Under the umbrella.
Although he is willing to protect her, she is not someone who just wants to be protected.
Realizing her intentions, Wu Chao was startled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
In the mist and rain, the two gradually walked away.
…
There was nothing to do on a rainy night, and most of the people in Beijing had already rested.
Mr. Ji in the Beijing Yamen was not so comfortable, and was still doing official business in the study at this time.
Recently, Beijing and China seem to be little different from the past on the surface, and everything is still in order, but in fact it has become increasingly unstable.
Ji Dong, who is the governor of Beijing Yamen Government, knows this better than anyone else.
Apart from other things, he has never had a moment of leisure during the day recently, and is dealing with new cases almost every day.
Moreover, these cases are similar to those common in the past, such as "Old Wang's dissatisfied dog stole Lao Li's chicken" and "the vegetable seller and the tofu seller got into such quarrels over the stall that they even lay down in the street to complain."
“Guan, I can’t even pull it up” and so on are different——
Nowadays, the level of cases is gradually different...
Many people often got into fights over a few quarrels, thefts occurred one after another, and there were even a few murders.
In Ji Dong's view, this is not just a matter of public security, but also a manifestation of the wavering and dispersion of people's hearts, the reduction of trust in the court, and the loss of respect for the law and discipline.
Thinking of this, Ji Dong couldn't help but sigh slightly. Not only the common people were worried, but he himself was no exception. Now every time the day when his salary was approaching was approaching, he couldn't help but be secretly worried, secretly observing the signs, for fear that the court would default on the payment for some reason.
He even couldn't help but think, if the court really refused to give him a salary, would he continue to occupy his position first, or should he find a reason to resign? Which option is more cost-effective?
After all, he doesn't want to work for nothing.
With this skill, you can earn dozens of pennies by working at the dock for a day.
But consuming physical energy is not a long-term solution. It is better to be a bookkeeper to make things smoother and smoother.
Mr. Ji was thinking about it, and his mind couldn't help but start to drift away. With the pen in his hand to annotate official documents, he almost wrote the line "One hundred ways to make money after resigning."
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study room from outside, interrupting Mr. Ji's thoughts.
The person who came in was a yamen servant with rain on his body: "Sir, someone from the front yamen came to report to the official."
Coming again?
Ji Dong's head hurt when he heard it.
It doesn't stop during the day, but doesn't it give people a breather at night? Could it be that rainy nights make people pessimistic and sad, making them more likely to get into trouble?
