auspicious time has come

Chapter 150 It's clear that you can grab it directly

"Back to Deputy General Wang, Mrs. Gu has a cold, and it was prescribed by Yan Junjun, and the servant girl saw that it was fried and sent it." The maid replied.

wind chill?

Wang Jingyong glanced at the yard behind him, and ordered again and again: "Everywhere you eat and drink, don't leave people, and you need to keep an eye on them all the time."

"Yes, the servant girls are always remembering."

The female envoy was blessed, and when she was about to leave, she heard Wang Jingyong say: "Wait a minute."

"I don't know what orders Vice-General Wang has?"

"Help me tell shopkeeper Gu, since she has caught the cold, she should be more careful—"

The maid looked at him in surprise.

Does Vice General Wang actually care about people?
As soon as this idea was formed, the other party said seriously: "Let her be careful, don't pass on the sickness to Madam, or Master Ji and others, so as not to let the wind and cold spread. If it is delayed The general is on his way, she can't bear it."

"……Yes."

Deputy General Wang then took people to patrol elsewhere.

Seeing him walk away, the female envoy let out a soft hiss.

But for those who are familiar with the most basic ways of getting along with each other, the second half of the sentence cannot be said directly.

When the female envoy delivered the medicine to Gu Tingnan's room, she only said first: "Just now I met Deputy General Wang, and he asked the maidservant to help pass a message, asking Madam Gu to be careful..."

Gu Tingnan frowned, held his breath and drank a bowl of medicinal soup in one gulp, and quickly threw a candied date into his mouth.

When the female envoy was thinking about how to speak euphemistically, she only heard the other party slurring a bit of jujube in her mouth and said: "He is afraid that I will walk around indiscriminately due to the cold and cause him trouble? Just let him rest assured." Yes, I still have this bit of self-knowledge.”

This little girl is really too reserved, Vice General Wang told her to be careful? ——If he hadn't had a stroke for ten years, he wouldn't be able to say such strange words.

The maid opened her mouth.

This... is also a kind of rare tacit understanding, right?
When rushing on the next day, Gu Tingnan took a carriage alone.

And her illness was not serious enough to make Xiao Mu the biggest victim——

When shopkeeper Gu fell ill, Mrs. Xiao's poker friends were not enough, so she made up her mind secretly and called Xiao Mu over.

Mrs. Xiao's carriage was very spacious, even with a card table there it was not crowded, but Xiao Hou felt quite suffocated in it.

In the past two days, it has been a horse hang.

As for where the horse crane came from—of course it was bought on the way.

Unlike Pai Gow, which relies more on luck to determine success, Ma Tiao not only has luck, but also puts card skills and brains to the test.

Xiao Hou thinks he is not lacking in brains, he habitually counts cards——

But whenever he showed signs of touching, eating or playing cards, his mother would smile and look at him with eyes like "young people should think twice before doing things" and "the water is deep here, so be careful not to grasp it". he.

Mother, he cannot afford to offend.

The other one is not too offended.

As for the spring rolls, it’s just a matter of making up the numbers.

And when playing cards with Mrs. Gu, the betting chips are nothing more than dried fruits and other things. With him, they are real money, and the game is quite big - the kind that ordinary people will lose their fortune after a day of playing.

After three or four days like this, Xiao Mu only felt physically and mentally exhausted as well as his wallet.

In particular, I have to be frightened and always pay attention not to win them - correcting official documents all night long, I have never been so tired.

He had repeatedly winked at Hengyu, intending to let her try to get out of the siege, but she just pretended not to see it, and interpreted the four characters of "wholesome and treacherous" vividly.

"If the two of you are short of money, you can tell me bluntly—" Xiao Hou thought over and over again, and finally said what was in his heart.

"Who do you look down on?" Mrs. Xiao gave him a sideways glance: "You can't afford to lose, right?"

Xiao Mu was speechless.

But he couldn't afford to lose.

Opposite him, the girl who was counting the golden beans raised her head and smiled at him and said, "It doesn't matter whether you win or not, happiness is the first priority."

"..." Xiao Mu felt that these words were somewhat difficult to answer.

During the rest, he was finally allowed to return to his carriage.

When Wang Jingyong came to report to the car as usual, he only heard that his general assigned him a somewhat outrageous errand——

"Go to Shopkeeper Gu's car and ask, is her cold going away soon?"

Wang Jingyong's usual style is to talk less and do more. Although he felt weird, he still took orders and left immediately.

"Dare to ask shopkeeper Gu, is the wind and cold going away soon?"

He came to Gu Tingnan's car and asked seriously.

Hearing this voice as cold and upright as a thousand-year-old black iron, Gu Tingnan, who was in a panic, pushed the window of the car and poked half of his head out.

Facing that rigid and slightly defensive face, she actually wanted to tease the other person, put an elbow on the side of the car window, and asked curiously: "Why is Vice General Wang so concerned about me recently?" ?”

Wang Jingyong's complexion changed, and he immediately said: "Master Hou ordered me to come and ask."

"Master Hou? You shouldn't..." Gu Tingnan pretended to be thinking and said, "How can I ask Lord Hou to ask in person, Vice General Wang, even if you are lying, you should choose a more credible statement."

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and showed a smile, and there was a bit of shrewdness and a bit of natural charm in her pair of Danfeng eyes.

There was a buzzing in Wang Jingyong's mind, and he quickly looked away, his face flushed with anger, but his figure became more and more straight: "I, Wang Jingyong, can walk upright and sit upright, and never tell lies!"

It's like a posture of "don't even think about getting close to ghosts and monsters".

After speaking, as if he couldn't bear such humiliation, and even disdain to be with him, he turned around and strode away.

"Hey!"

Lady Gu yelled at him.

Wang Jingyong's feet stagnated slightly, but he didn't turn his head. His tight jawline showed a stubborn temperament.

"I haven't answered whether the wind and cold disappeared or not. You just went back like this. How are you going to do business?"

"!" Wang Jingyong's scalp tightened when he heard this, and he left faster - this was clearly a way to lure him back and humiliate him, so he would not be fooled by this!

Looking at his back, Gu Tingnan let out a "puchi" laugh.

I thought it was an abacus bead that would only move once you dial it, but unexpectedly it was so careless.

As we all know, the less funny a person is, the more funny he is.

At this moment, the figure in the line of sight suddenly stopped, as if cautiously turned around with some kind of temptation——

Their eyes met, Gu Tingnan, who was still crouching by the car window, tilted his head and smiled at him.

"!!" Deputy General Wang stiffened all over, turned his head back with horror in his eyes, and his figure stiffly left her sight.

Gu Tingnan laughed even more heartily, and tears were about to come out.

Hmm... It seems that this journey will never be boring no matter what.

At this time, Xiao Mu happened to get down from the carriage. Seeing his subordinates coming back, he casually asked, "How is it?"

"The subordinate asked." Wang Jingyong was silent for a while, and then said: "I didn't ask."

"?" Xiao Mu turned to look at him.

Is this some extremely difficult secret to interrogate?
Seeing his own general looking over, Vice General Wang lowered his head in grief and indignation: "It's the subordinates who are incompetent."

Xiao Mu couldn't help being confused.

Why does the subordinate have the feeling that...a woman from a good family has been molested?
Although he felt it was inexplicable, the grief and indignation conveyed by the other party was hard to ignore, and he couldn't be harsh: "...It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, step back."

Sensing the faint comfort in the general's words, Wang Jingyong felt more and more ashamed, and he said "yes" before leaving.

"What's wrong with Deputy General Wang?" Heng Yu, who got out of the car and moved his body, saw it, and came over to ask Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu glanced at the leaving figure of his subordinate, and then at the direction of Gu Tingnan's carriage: "It's hard to say."

Hengyu was a little curious, but seeing that Xiao Mu also looked like he didn't know, he didn't ask him any more.

The two walked around, Xiao Mu asked her: "Can I put down the money I won recently? Do I want Ben Houyun to give you a box, I happen to have a few empty ones at my place."

"Wait for two days." Heng Yu smiled at him and said, "Save again."

The corners of Xiao Mu's mouth twitched slightly, but he praised: "You are worthy of being from a scholarly family, and you are indeed decent and thoughtful in doing things—"

"What do you think Hou Ye said?"

"It's clear that I can grab it directly, but I patiently played cards with Benhou for several days."

"Master Hou is too famous, there is no way, the family style is strict."

The two bickered nonsense for a while as usual, looking at the stacked mountains ahead, Heng Yu asked: "The mountains look foggy, and the mountain roads are winding. Can we make it to the city in time to resettle before dark?"

"It should be possible. The itinerary is mostly planned in advance." Xiao Mu looked up at the sun: "It's time to start in a while, let's go back."

Hengyu nodded.

When the two were about to turn back, a soldier came over, bowed his head and saluted Xiao Mu, and said, "Your subordinate has just discovered something suspicious in the forest, and I have come to report it to the general!"

Heng Yu subconsciously looked at the dense forest behind him.

During the break, the soldiers who need convenience will go to the forest to solve it. Did this soldier find any suspicious behavior?
etc--

Heng Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and was about to turn his eyes back to the soldier, but at the same moment, Xiao Mu suddenly grabbed her arm, and before she could react, a strong force pulled her behind him.

The soldier's expression changed, and he suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes full of killing intent.

He took out the hidden dagger from under the armor on his back, and stabbed at Xiao Mu extremely quickly.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, Xiao Mu leaned back to avoid the blow, pulled Heng Yu back two steps to one side, pushed her back, and met the "soldier" "The offensive.

Between three and five strokes, the dagger almost hit the vital points several times, Xiao Mu quickly turned defense into offense.

Both of them were extremely fast, and the dagger that kept turning its direction was shining coldly, Heng Yu was dazzled by seeing it, but felt terrified.

And if that person failed to succeed in one blow, it is obviously impossible to have another chance to make a move——

Xiao Mu slapped the opponent's heart, forcing him to take several steps back.

"quick!"

"There are assassins!"

"Take people down!"

Soon soldiers and followers came forward.

"Stay alive——" Xiao Mu stood in front of Hengyu, looking at the person who resisted desperately, there was an imperceptible fluctuation in his eyes.
