auspicious time has come

Chapter 31 is that his vision is limited

"The sage is so anxious to escort Xuanpu to Beijing, could it be because..." Yan Junshi's voice was extremely low.

Xiao Mu's usual expressionless face now had a cold expression: "Is it because I'm afraid that Xuanpu will speak out unscrupulously and tell the grievances of the Shi family, ruining his reputation as a benevolent monarch?"

Over the years, everything he found pointed to the person in the highest position as the ultimate messenger.

Even if that person didn't handle it himself, he must have obtained his acquiescence...

It's just that before there is no clear evidence, he still has some doubts in his heart. He thought that if he caught Xuanpu, he might get a real and complete answer, but Xuanpu didn't know much.

But now, this sage is eager to escort Xuanpu to Beijing——

Is it really not out of a guilty conscience?
Although Xuanpu doesn't know who the real murderer is, just saying "Shi Minhui was framed by me" is enough to cause an uproar.

The emperor will not allow this situation to happen.

Therefore, the result of escorting Xuanpu to Beijing is very likely to die on the way to Beijing and disappear completely with that secret.

Master Yan also had a distinction in his heart, thinking of those old events and the clues he had found over the years, he felt depressed and depressed.

"If I were the military advisor, what would I do?" Xiao Mu's tone seemed a little confused.

Junjun Yan looked at the young man with too many burdens on his shoulders, and said: "The general has his own choice. You don't need to ask others, just follow your heart. No matter what the general decides, it is right."

"But I'm afraid I don't have much time—"

The tone was very calm, and there was no disturbance when talking about life and death, but Yan Junshi's heart tightened: "General, don't say that..."

"I don't know if the person sent out will find Doctor Bai..." Yin Hai, who was guarding outside, said with a sigh.

"I'm afraid—" Meng Dazhu swallowed half of what he said, and he couldn't say anything unlucky.

But if he really found out the whereabouts of that miraculous doctor, someone would send a letter back immediately.

Yan Ming looked towards Qiuyang who was slipping to the west, his brows raised.

All those who practice medicine have more or less heard of the name of Miracle Doctor Bai.

Rumor has it that this genius doctor Bai has the ability to raise the bones of the dead——

But it was just a rumor, and even he had never actually seen it.

But before the antidote is found, no matter how slim the hope is, we can't let go of it. Therefore, since the general was poisoned last month, he sent people to leave Yingzhou secretly to find the whereabouts of this genius doctor Bai.

"The general was poisoned by an arrow shot in the back on the battlefield. If it wasn't a Khitan, who would it be!" Meng Dazhu's eyes turned red again as he thought about it, and he said bitterly: "Maybe it's the court—"

"Da Zhu, be careful with your words." Yan Ming turned his head and interrupted him.

Meng Dazhu's eyes were sour and he clenched his fists.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if it was not poisoned by the people of the court, the court's suspicion of the general is obvious!
Because of this, the general told them to keep the secret and not spread the poisoning story, otherwise it would bring disaster to Yingzhou... But if the court is reliable, why is the general like this, even seeking medical treatment has to be concealed!

"Squeak—" With a sound, the door behind them was opened from the inside.

Xiao Mu and Yan Junshi walked out.

Xiao Mu ordered: "Tell the envoy from the capital that the Khitan assassins sneaked into the Hou's mansion last night and killed Xuanpu on the spot - find a similar corpse among the Khitan prisoners of war, modify its appearance, and give it to them for examination."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." Yin Hai responded sternly, turning his head to look at Yan Ming.

Yan Ming nodded knowingly, and the two left together.

It was getting dusk, Xiao Mu put on a rare black cloak, and climbed up to the Moon-Watching Pavilion of the Hou Mansion alone.

This is the tallest attic in the Hou Mansion. Standing on the highest floor, you can overlook the entire courtyard of the Hou Mansion. Looking further into the distance, you can see the distant view of the mountains outside the city.

Xiao Mu stood there, watching the setting sun slowly fall into the western mountain, the sky and the earth fell into darkness, and then was eroded and shrouded by the night.

Lights were turned on in the mansion, and the city was lit up with dots of lights.

A light is a home.

Amidst the lights of thousands of houses, Xiao Mu calmed down all kinds of emotions, and slowly let go of his fisted fingers behind him, but his whole person became as silent as the night.

He was trapped in this boundless dead silence, as if he was cut off from the world.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Jingyong came over and said, "General."

He didn't know the general was here at first, it was Yan Junshi who told him - Yan Junshi said that whenever the general had something on his mind, he would always come here alone.

Seeing that the figure didn't turn his head back, nor did he answer, Wang Jingyong paused, and continued on his own: "Today, my subordinates have followed the general's order and secretly followed Master Ji and Mr. Yan. A gambling shop called 'Qianjin Gu', stayed inside for nearly an hour."

Xiao Mu finally had the desire to speak: "...What kind of friends did Painter Ji make?"

Not to mention the purpose of that man's coming to Yingzhou, but to bring a little girl to the gambling house, is that plausible?

Wang Jingyong recalled it for a while, and said truthfully: "According to my subordinates' secret observation, it is the gambling house that Master Ji took Mr. Yan to."

Xiao Mu: "..."

It's his limited vision.

"After coming out of the gambling house, the two of them went to listen to the play, and then went to the biggest restaurant in the city." Wang Jingyong said: "I haven't found anything unusual yet."

Xiao Mu nodded: "Understood, continue to stare at Yan Jin, don't startle the snake."

"Yes."

Xiao Mu subconsciously looked at a certain courtyard in the mansion.

Gambling, listening to operas, restaurants.

She was very happy.

Thinking of these, looking at the brightly lit courtyard, and thinking about her persistence in facing Mrs. Qi's affairs today, the silence on Xiao Mu's body subconsciously faded a little.

Jiji, who accompanied Heng Yu just back to the Hou Mansion, went to the back kitchen of the Hou Mansion.

It was already past the time for dinner, and when Jiji arrived, there was only one figure squatting in front of the small stove in the kitchen.

"Lieutenant Meng?" Looking at the dejected figure from behind, Jiji asked tentatively.

Meng Dazhu hurriedly wiped his face with his sleeve, stood up and turned around, with a smile, he said a little embarrassedly: "Come to get food? Why don't you tell the maid to come and get it?"

"No, I'll make a cup of ginger soup for my girl."

"Painter Ji caught the wind and cold?"

"That's not true. My daughter has some old illnesses and can't bear the cold. When I came back today, there was a cold wind. I thought about cooking a bowl of ginger soup for the girl to warm her body."

Meng Dazhu nodded: "Yingzhou City is like this. It's early in the winter, and it's even colder after sunset. Next time, if you come back late, you must have thicker cloaks as spare parts!"

As he spoke, he turned around and found two pieces of old ginger for Jiji with a smile and handed them to her.

Jiji took it and thanked him. Seeing the porcelain pot beeping on the small stove beside him, he asked casually, "Is Lieutenant Meng decocting medicine?"

Meng Dazhu opened his mouth and hurriedly said, "Yes...it's my own medicine!"

In fact, he was boiled for the general, but no one should know about the poisoning of the general.

But he is really not good at lying, especially when Jiji looks at him like this, he blushes nervously.

"Lieutenant Meng, why is your face so red?" Jiji was very puzzled.

　See you at noon tomorrow everyone
