auspicious time has come

Chapter 149 Don't Let Your Brothers in the Army Be Persecuted by Her

The officials in the post house bowed and followed Xiao Mu, leading them into the hall, and handing over a letter with both hands: "...this letter was left here two days ago, that person Claiming to be a good friend of Lord Hou, saying that Lord Hou will definitely pass by here, so I left this letter to Lord Hou."

Xiao Mu stopped slightly, and the attendant who held the umbrella for him also stopped.

Heng Yu beside him also looked at the letter.

Xiao Mu took it, but didn't rush to open it, just asked the postman: "What does the sender look like? Did you leave your name?"

"I didn't leave my name, I just said that Master Hou will know who he is after reading the letter."

The post officer recalled: "It seems that he is about 40 years old, with a medium-sized body and a slightly fat body. His appearance...has no characteristics. He is wearing a navy blue fur coat, and he looks rich."

After finishing speaking, he said cautiously: "Because he claims to be a good friend of Lord Hou, so the villain dare not neglect... I wonder if Lord Hou knows this person?"

"Yeah." Xiao Mu said noncommittally: "This Marquis knows, let's step down."

The post officer didn't say any more, he respectfully responded, and sent him off at the same place, and he didn't dare to leave until Xiao Mu had gone a little further.

This is the most powerful envoy in the Northland. Normally, he would not be able to see him with his status. Naturally, he must treat him with great care.

But the envoy--

"You are really young..." When the post officer turned around, the little official beside him sighed, "Young and promising, God-given generals."

"That's right, with such achievements at this age, wouldn't you be able to accomplish a lot in the future?" The little official echoed.

"Nonsense, how can it be so big?" The post official reprimanded in a low voice, and sighed again: "It is good luck to be able to hold on to the moment... Xiao Jieshi has good luck, and we in the North can have good luck. .”

This trip to Beijing, let him be a small post officer, and he can smell the unrest.

He only hoped that Jieshi Xiao's "luck" would be better.

"Does Hou Ye recognize the person described by the postman?" Heng Yu asked after entering the house.

The news of Xiao Mu's entry into the capital has already been passed down layer by layer, and the city post officials along the way have made preparations in advance. The place for Xiao Mu to stay here is a separate three-story pavilion.

Xiao Mu shook his head: "It should only be the person who sent the message."

As he spoke, he sat down in a chair, and Wang Jingyong had already closed the door from the outside, led people to guard the outside, and signaled his subordinates to carefully inspect the inside and outside of the pavilion.

On this trip, they obviously did not have many people with them, only more than [-] people, but all of them were elite confidants selected from a hundred, and even a coachman was not an ordinary person.

Before leaving this time, Master Yan didn't explain too much, and only condensed thousands of words into one sentence—there were only ants passing by along the way, and they had to be picked up and searched carefully inside and out, and they could only be released after making sure that there was nothing unusual.

It was also a good thing that there were no insects and ants in this season, otherwise, according to Deputy General Wang's more serious temperament, at this time, he might have ordered people to boil water, ready to water the ant nest.

Inside the house, Xiao Mu had opened the letter.

He glanced at it, then put it on the small table between the two of them, and pushed it towards Hengyu.

It's short, just two lines——

Hou Ye is sincere, loyal and courageous, which is admirable.

I will go to Beijing first and wait for the good show.

After Hengyu read it, she was silent for a moment before asking: "Does Hou Ye recognize this handwriting?"

"His calligraphy was taught by me—" Xiao Mu said, "It's obviously just a ghostwriting."

Although the handwriting was denied, it was also confirmed who the messenger was.

Heng Yu pondered: "He must be on his way to the capital right now... His visit to Beijing may not be as simple as watching a play, right?"

It is impossible to say that Xiao Mu was called to the capital on the Qianqiu Festival of the Saint, if there is no plan at all.

Xiao Mu picked up the letter paper: "Since he sent the letter here, it can be seen that he has no desire to cooperate, and he also believes that my trip to the capital will not have good results—"

Gu has the so-called "wait for the good show".

Watching him throw the letter paper into the charcoal basin at his feet, Heng Yu said: "Furthermore, for him, muddy water is the best place to fish... After entering Beijing, Lord Hou should meet him as soon as possible, according to the situation Decide whether to identify yourself."

Whether to persuade or not can be discussed separately, but the relationship situation will be relatively clearer. No matter what the other party’s final decision is, at least they can be regarded as knowing themselves and knowing the enemy, so as not to accidentally hurt – and unilateral concealment often means that regrets are difficult to remedy.

Understanding her intention, Xiao Mu looked at the burnt letter paper and nodded.

Heng Yu raised his hand and poured two cups of hot tea, the steam was rising.

The window behind the two was half open, the raindrops were rushing like threads, and the rain and mist were filled with the damp cold of early spring.

The sky was getting darker until midnight, when the rain stopped, and the dark clouds covering the night sky were scattered like a veil with the wind, allowing a few scattered stars to appear.

The next day the weather cleared up, and in the early morning, the horseshoe continued to move forward on the slightly wet bluestone road.

Traveling on the road is always boring, the carriage bumps all the way, and doing nothing makes it hard to avoid the time.

So on the second day, Heng Yu and Gu Tingnan got into Mrs. Xiao's carriage, and they played cards.

Vice-General Wang, who was ordered to follow the carriage, was sitting on horseback. When he heard the sound of shuffling the cards coming from inside the carriage, he couldn't help but twitched his eyes—it wasn't a leaf card, but a Pai Gow!

Now my wife is probably going to get into a bad habit too!

No, where did the Pai Gow come from?
It is understandable that the female relatives use the leaf cards to relieve boredom, but who would take a pair of Pai Gow with them when traveling far?
"I'm so sorry, it's my biggest again!"

Gu Niangzi's voice came from inside the car, and Wang Jingyong suddenly thought of the burden she was carrying on her back before leaving the city——

"It's my turn to be the manor, it's my turn to be the manor!"

"Where are the dice?"

"Tianjiu, pass kill!"

Deputy General Wang: "..."

This road is in a hurry, it's a bit of a luxury!
Finally when it was time to rest, Deputy General Wang reined in his horse and said to the rear: "Take a break halfway, rest in place for a quarter of an hour, drink water and feed your horses!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded, and the carriages and horses stopped slowly.

Wang Jingyong also got off his horse, walked to Xiao Mu's carriage, and said: "General, the scouts turned back just now, and there is nothing unusual in the hundred miles ahead."

The person in the car let out a "hmm", and there was a faint sound of flipping through the official document, and the voice asked casually: "Today, I drove a little faster than yesterday. Are mothers and the others feeling unwell?"

"Ma'am and the others are very good. They pushed Pai Gow all the way."

There was an obvious silence in the car, and after a while——

"Who loses and who wins?"

Wang Jingyong: "?"

Is the general still curious about this?

He racked his brains and thought for a while, and said: "From the sound, it should be that Mrs. Gu won the most."

"She also loses money sometimes—"

Who?
When Wang Jingyong was waiting to respond, he only heard the voice say: "Understood, go to work—repay after losing."

Wang Jingyong: "...?"

"Yes."

He bowed his hands, walked away with a complex expression, and went to feed his horse.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a maple red figure coming out of Mrs. Xiao's carriage.

Wang Jingyong patted the forage scraps on his hands and looked over.

"General Wang!" Gu Tingnan saw him, walked towards him with a smile, and handed over a pile of peanuts, longan and other dried fruits in the cloak in front of him: "Eat peanuts? I won them all! "

Wang Jingyong looked at her smiling face vigilantly, and refused expressionlessly: "No."

Gu Tingnan had long been used to his appearance, and turned to greet the others: "You generals have worked hard on the journey, do you want to eat fruit and peanuts?"

She has always been good at sociability, so she quickly distributed the large handfuls of fruit, chatting and laughing with a group of soldiers, and returned to her carriage after a while.

Not far away, Vice General Wang, who had been watching coldly, looked at the little soldier who came forward to hand him peanuts, frowned and said, "How dare you eat something of unknown origin? Is it memorized in the dog's belly that I teach you all the time? "

Xiaobing shrank his neck and swallowed the longan in his mouth: "Isn't this something in Madam's carriage..."

Wang Jingyong choked.

Also... also?
He could only say: "But Miss Gu, how much do you know about her?"

Xiao Bing was taken aback when he heard this: "Isn't Shopkeeper Gu a friend of Painter Ji and Deputy General Wang?"

"?" Wang Jingyong immediately separated the relationship: "I don't know her well!"

Xiaobing was also confused: "But along the way, I always see Mrs. Gu looking for you to talk..."

Wang Jingyong's expression was solemn: "It was all done on her own initiative, and I didn't respond!"

"Oh, oh..." Xiao Bing nodded with complicated eyes.

Why did Deputy General Wang react like this? Is this something worthy of "like facing an enemy"?
Just listen to Wang Jingyong's serious reminder: "You also have to be careful of this person, don't get too close to him, lest he-"

At this point, Deputy General Wang's voice suddenly stopped.

"What...what?" Xiaobing asked tentatively.

Of course he was murdered by him!
The kind that will not be responsible at all if you leave the father and keep the son!
Vice-General Wang was deeply shadowed by the conversation he heard on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, especially this Mrs. Gu, who even said that she would not get married, fearing that the man would covet her property--the purpose of treating men is to play around outside. But, I don't plan to take it home at all!

He can't let his brothers in the army suffer such persecution!

"In short, stay away from her!" Vice General Wang couldn't get those words out of his mouth, so he could only say in an orderly tone.

"Subordinate, this subordinate knows..."

He really knows!

"I see..." After leaving Wang Jingyong's sight, Xiao Bing whispered to his companions but couldn't hide his shock: "Do you know, it turns out that General Wang likes Mrs. Gu!"

"what? What?"

"real or fake?"

"Really! Just now I took the fruit from Mrs. Gu, General Wang reprimanded me and told me to stay away from Mrs. Gu in the future!"

"So that's how it is! I said, why is Vice General Wang always sneaking at Mrs. Gu!"

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the matter quickly spread secretly.

In the next few days, Deputy General Wang always felt that his subordinates' eyes were evasive, and he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly.

And speaking of medicine—

"What kind of medicine is this?"

That night, when he was staying at the posthouse, Wang Jingyong, who was patrolling the backyard, saw a female envoy walking towards the courtyard where Hengyu was with medicine, and stopped her to ask questions.
