Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 401 Quiet, Quiet
King Su's Mansion, the study room in the main courtyard.

Xu Mo stood silently, his eyes were clear, and he fell on a painting on the wall.

"Autumn Day", Chiba Qing.

The sky is high and far-reaching, and the large wheat waves rise and fall one after another, and a strong vitality emerges spontaneously.

He knew that Dongfang Hao liked this painting very much, and hung it in his study to look at it from time to time.

Xu Mo pursed his lips faintly. Based on his understanding of Dongfang Hao, this should be a ray of sunshine shining into his hazy heart.

Just like that woman.

During this trip, he unexpectedly found out a little secret of Chu Sijiu.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not a big deal, but to be able to make these movements under Dongfang Hao's nose, I have to say that this woman's mind is not usually deep.

A hero is sad about a beauty.

Just as he was thinking, footsteps came from behind him.

Steady, powerful and relaxed, one could tell it was Dongfang Hao when he heard it.

Turning around, watching the study door "squeak" open with a smile.

"Brother, you are here."

There was a little excitement in the voice, which was very rare for Dongfang Hao.

Xu Mo's eyes were bright, and he swept a line across his face, "Junior brother looks bad, didn't you sleep last night?"

Dongfang Hao pursed his lips, "There are a lot of things going on recently, come and sit down."

He greeted, and raised his voice again, "Wang Xing, come over to Wujing before making a pot of rain."

"Yes, my lord." Wang Xing answered outside.

After a while, the servant brought the tea up.

Assuming a narrating posture, Xu Mo didn't exchange pleasantries, and went straight to the point, "I've been around a lot in the Northland this time, especially the areas near the Dayu Kingdom, and it doesn't feel very good."

"Huh?" Dongfang Hao's face was very serious, "Brother, please explain in detail."

Xu Mo nodded, "Before the crown prince of Wu Kingdom ascended the throne, the borders of Beidi Kingdom had changes. I observed several places carefully and found that they were basically in a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside. It looks the same as usual on the outside. The military discipline is extremely strict inside, and the soldiers are trained very diligently. You should have heard about the changing of defenses. In fact, they are not simply changing defenses, but recruiting troops and changing defenses all the way, so it is not easy to attract attention."

"Are they recruiting?"

This information is too important, Dongfang Hao frowned extremely tightly.

"Recruit troops in the north, and basically maintain the original state in the south, and then switch defenses and come to train troops."

Xu Mo said seriously, "After Lin Yinji ascended the throne, he transferred many soldiers and horses from Wu State. I sneaked in and saw that Wu State's weapons are better than Dayu State's."

"So, does Lin Yinjing plan to fight Dayu?"

Dongfang Hao picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, breathed slowly, as if he was regulating the fluctuations in his heart.

Xu Mo looked at him quietly, with a heavy tone, "When I just entered the city, I met Xiao Jian, and he said that Lin Zimo was a spy of the Wu Kingdom. He passed the general examination a year ago. It took two years. And the Lin family took root in Weibei is not a one-day achievement, I am afraid that this game of chess has long been lost, so the younger brother should not be careless."

Dongfang Hao raised his eyes, his face was cold and strong.

"I, Dayu Kingdom, are not from the humble generation. Both the Mighty and Zhenwu prefectures have earned their prestige, so I'm not afraid of them."

Xu Mo laughed and said sonorously, "I have confidence in my junior brother. If there is a real war, my senior brother will definitely cheer for you."

The mood of both of them was a little high.

"Brother is staying in the mansion today, I called Xiao Jian over, the three of us have a good drink."

"it is good."

Xu Mo responded, "But senior brother still has some things to do, so come over later."

"Okay, I will wait for senior brother in the mansion." After receiving such important information, Dongfang Hao also had to think carefully.

……

Xu Mo went to Zhuque Street and asked for a private room at the teahouse opposite the gallery.

"Guest officer, the tea you want." A waiter came in.

Xu Mo smiled gently, his facial features were not outstanding, but he had a clean and introverted aura, which easily made people feel close.

"Xiao Er, how about the paintings in the opposite gallery?"

"That gallery was opened by Lord Su, and his wife Ru is in charge of it. The business is very good, and the dignitaries in Yecheng like to buy paintings there." Xiaoer introduced enthusiastically.

"Can the prince's concubine also come out to do business?" He expressed puzzlement.

"Guest officer, this Mrs. Ru is not an ordinary person, she is the daughter of the Chu family..."

Xiaoer introduced Chu Sijiu's life in a random way, including the details, even the things about helping the poor on the street when she was a child, and by the way, she mentioned her relationship with Jiuniang Jewelry Shop and the places she likes to go wait wait wait.

Xu Mo listened with great interest, occasionally raising a few words.

Xiao Er chatted more carefully.

"Well, that young man is the nobleman of Jiuniang's jewelry store. Mrs. Ru accepted him as an apprentice. The younger one has a fellow villager who works as a helper in Xinyan Cuiqing Building. I often see him going there. He is a very lucky person. of."

Xiao Er pointed to Dagui downstairs and spoke very fluently.

Xu Mo glanced lightly, and said with a smile, "Such a young age, it really is a lot of luck."

……

According to the usual time, Chu Sijiu came out of the gallery.

All masters have aura, Shui Hanbing condensed his eyes, and glanced at the opposite teahouse.

Xu Mo lowered his head and drank his tea with an extremely ordinary expression.

Shui Hanbing didn't notice anything unusual, her eyes paused for a moment, and then scanned around vigilantly.

Later, the servant of the gallery led the horse from behind, and the group of people stomped away.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Mo came down from the teahouse, walked into the gallery as if nothing had happened, and looked indifferently.

Taking advantage of the people around him not paying attention, after a few turns, he had sneaked into the inner courtyard.

Half an hour later, he walked out of the gallery with a calm expression.

……

During dinner time, Chu Sijiu ate alone with a single lamp in the small plum blossom courtyard.

The main courtyard is brightly lit.

"Ru Ma'am, the prince is happy tonight. If he wants to stay drunk with his brother, he won't come here tonight. He asked you to rest early."

Wang Xing came over to talk.

Chu Sijiu snorted softly, "Understood."

Wang Xing was a little uneasy, and said a few more words, "Senior brother Xu only comes here once in half a year, and the prince is happy, that's why he is like this."

Chu Sijiu chuckled, "Butler Wang, do you think I'm such a stingy person? Don't worry about it, I'll take a rest earlier."

She is really not angry, and the man in the previous life was also so virtuous.There is a song as proof: Friends walk together for a lifetime... A glass of wine in love for a lifetime, friends have never been alone...

It's rare that Dongfang Hao, a boring donkey, has such pride, how can she be narrow-minded.

Seeing her smiling clearly, Wang Xing felt relieved and happily went back to report.

How did he know that Chu Sijiu has been very tired recently, and Dongfang Hao didn't come here and fell right into her arms.She was looking for Jingjing, Jingjing.

In the main courtyard, there have been three rounds of drinking.

The atmosphere was very warm.

Although Xiao Jian is not Yan Nie's disciple, the two masters have a close relationship, and they move around each other diligently.The reason why Xiao Jian followed Dongfang Hao was also because of Xu Mo's words.

One cup for you, one cup for me, very happy to drink.

He will also talk about things in the court.

After drinking, there is no size.

Xiao Jian showed joy, "Senior brother Xu, the prince has been designated as the crown prince by the emperor."

Xu Mo raised his eyes and raised his glass, "Then I have to respect my brother."

Dongfang Hao settled down, "Things are impermanent, and no one knows what will happen until the last moment."

He drank it all.

Xu Mo smiled slightly, and drank it down.

Putting down the wine cup, his brows and eyes slowly became serious, and his tone was still gentle, "Brother, brother wants to take you to a place."
