auspicious time has come

Chapter 59 Think of it!
Seeing a lot of gazes from all around, Meng Dazhu didn't follow, but guarded outside the tent together with Jiji.

Jiji didn't look at him, and he didn't open his mouth either, the two just stood there, one on the left and the other on the right.

"What's the urgency?" Xiao Mu asked looking at the saluting person in the tent.

Hengyu didn't delay, and immediately handed over the portrait in his hand: "This is what I drew today, and I feel a little familiar when I see it, it seems that I have seen this person by the side of Lord Hou, please take a look at it." See if there is anyone who looks like her around—"

Xiao Mu took it with a straight face, first held the portrait in his hand for a moment, and then opened it.

Heng Yu saw his subtle movements, and couldn't help but be silent—is this to prevent her, a female spy, from seeing the assassination?
But also completely understandable.

She quickly turned her attention to look at Xiao Mu, and said: "Maybe there is only a slight similarity in a certain place, Lord Hou should think about it."

While speaking, she kept looking at Xiao Mu.

Now the only clue she has is Xiaohou Lord, approaching him seems to be close to the truth - if Xiaohou can use Xiaohou to open the door, no matter whether it is or not, at least a definite result can be obtained.

Xiao Mu nodded slightly, answered "Yes", and then focused his gaze on the portrait.

After only a moment, he said to himself: "I really seem to have seen it somewhere..."

Painters are very good at catching people's expressions, and this sense of familiarity comes from the expression of their eyebrows——

While Xiao Mu was thinking, a face suddenly appeared in his mind.

But at the same time, Hengyu's expression suddenly changed, and he felt suddenly enlightened!

She thought of it!

Not only the appearance, but also the age seems to match!

Xiao Mu raised his eyes, the two looked at each other, and said a name almost at the same time.

……

Not long after, Xiao Mu took Heng Yu out of the big tent.

"General." Meng Dazhu and the soldiers outside the tent saluted quickly.

Xiao Mu turned to look at the boy beside him: "Follow me back to the city—"

Meng Dazhu responded, and immediately ordered more than ten elites to follow.

Heng Yu followed Xiao Mu, and met many soldiers saluting along the way.

Sensing those veiled gazes and extremely low whispers behind him, Heng Yu, who has always been not slow, had some guesses, and said: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to change the man's robe, so I caused trouble for Lord Hou."

Xiao Mu didn't stop on his feet, his face was expressionless: "...It will be even more troublesome if you change the man's robe."

After a moment of silence, Heng Yu deeply agreed.

It's the same reason.

However, at this time, she also belatedly realized that she was a little impulsive on this trip.

The important place of the military camp is not something she can come and go at will.

The "trouble" caused by her is currently fermenting in the camp.

"Zhao Er, have you heard that a young lady has come to the camp to look for our general!"

"I saw it all! The general left the camp with that little lady! The two of you are so close!"

"As far as I know, there is no younger sister in the general's family..."

"Of course it can't be my sister!"

"Didn't you say that a matchmaker came to Beijing to act as a matchmaker for the general? Didn't it happen?"

"Let me just say that our general is a decent person! That kind of rumor... is unbelievable!"

"What does that girl look like? Is it suitable for our general?"

"It goes without saying!"

"..."

"What are you talking about?" A man wearing military armor and a beard walked over.

All the soldiers quickly stood in a row, tensing their bodies: "Deputy General Zhou!"

The man's sharp eyes swept over everyone, and he asked in a serious voice: "What are you talking about in private! Who gave you the courage to talk about the general in private!"

He just vaguely heard the word "general", these brats dared to go to the house to expose the tiles without fighting for three days!
"Subordinates don't dare!" Someone hurriedly said: "It's just...a little lady came looking for the general, and the subordinates just happened to see it..."

what? !

The man's eyes widened, and he immediately said, "Let's hear it!"

Talking all over the place, the noise immediately resumed.

Vice General Zhou was shocked when he heard it, but he was also relieved and excited.

Mother!
The general is finally out!
Great news!
Great news!

——Pass it on, we will have a general's wife!

The voice in his heart was ready to come out, and Deputy General Zhou almost couldn't hold back and gave the order directly.

The authenticity of the news needs to be investigated, calm down, calm down!
Under extreme restraint, Vice General Zhou was able to just say: "Come on, go drink with me, let someone roast a sheep! It will be deducted from my military salary!"

……

When Heng Yu and Xiao Mu hurried back to the city, it was already dark.

When the group entered the city, they went straight to Miaoji Steamed Bun Shop.

Meng Dazhu, who still doesn't know what happened, looked at the signboard of the steamed stuffed bun shop in front of him, feeling a little dazed—it can't be...Did Painter Ji deliberately call the general back to the city to eat steamed stuffed buns?
But the tables and stools outside the shop have been taken away, and the steamer has been piled up and the heat is gone.

Lady Miao, who was about to close the door, saw Hengyu and Jiji approaching, and said with a smile: "It's already closed today, you might as well come back tomorrow morning."

She had seen this beautiful little lady before, she had been with Mrs. Xiao of the Hou Mansion several times, and she had also heard from Mr. Liu that this girl was the benefactor who helped Ah Qing in the past.

Therefore, I made a good impression.

And the next moment, the little lady said: "Miao shopkeeper, I'm here to look for Mrs. Qi, is she in the shop?"

"Looking for Ah Qing, she caught the wind and cold, yesterday I let her go home to rest for a few days, and she didn't come to the shop today."

"So that's it. I'm bothering shopkeeper Miao, so I'm leaving."

Hengyu nodded slightly to Mrs. Miao, and didn't linger much.

Mrs. Miao felt a little weird—why came to find someone at this hour?And the group of people who didn't go forward looked like they belonged to the Hou's mansion.

Xiao Mu and the others quickly left here.

Mrs. Qi now lives in Dongshui County outside Yingzhou City. Hengyu had asked Jiji to send something to keep out the cold before.At this time, Jiji led the way, and found Mrs. Qi's residence very smoothly.

The small house he leased was at the end of an alley, and the road was so narrow that horse-drawn carriages could not pass through it.

So Heng Yu and Xiao Mu got off the carriage and walked through the alley.

This place is a small and old residential area. At this time, the lights around have been turned off, and there seems to be a faint sound in the dim view. Xiao Mu immediately looked keenly at the wall of a small courtyard in front——

A dusty shadow disappeared from the wall, as if sliding into the courtyard.

Heng Yu also vaguely saw it.

She wasn't quite sure if the shadow was a person or something else, but she walked faster now.

That's Mrs. Qi's yard!

In the courtyard, Qi Qing had a wooden basin under her feet, and she was putting freshly washed wet clothes on the rope. When she bent down to pick up the next one from the basin, her hands stopped suddenly.

There was a strange noise coming from the corner of the wall, and she looked warily, only to see a figure staggering over in the dimness.

"who is it!"

Startled, Qi Qing threw the clothes back into the basin, straightened up and asked uneasily.
