So I play chess

Chapter 166 Watching Nan Yijian

Fast horses go back and forth between Tongcheng and Anping, walking on the most flat official road, including avoiding the rebels in the middle, and occasionally needing to avoid refugees. It takes five or six days to go back and forth, and seven or eight days at most. .

Based on this calculation, the people Li Mao sent to Anping should be back in about two days.

The scene where Wen Gu dared to get sick was also because the rest of the matter had to wait for someone to come back before continuing.

In fact, her wind-cold was not severe in the first place, and it was almost better yesterday.During this period, in addition to the medical officers in the mansion taking care of her, one of the girls brought by the wife of the Zheng family that day also sent someone to deliver medicine.

The medical officer in the mansion inspected the medicinal materials, and only said that this girl really did her best.

So Wen Gu got a little bit more thoughtful, and asked Zhixia to inquire about it, and found out that the girl had nothing to do with the Zheng family. She usually runs a medical clinic by herself, which happened to be in the alley near the east gate. Really busy, treating the refugees who came into the city.

As for the consultation fees and the like, they will be collected, and if they are not, they will be forgotten, and they don't care.The only interesting thing is that although she doesn't seem like a person who clings to the powerful, she will always do some additional actions for people with more valuable status.

For example, when she was treating the refugees, she worked almost day and night, and she had no time to take care of herself. Even if she wasn't unkempt, she was almost there.

And when the lady of the Zheng family went to invite her, she first asked the prefect's aunt about what kind of illness she had, and then she didn't come in a hurry, but went home to freshen up, and then went to the center Come.

Another example is that she went around to deliver medicine to the prefect's aunt.

As for why she was like this, Zhixia couldn't ask.

Wen Gu has only met her once, and feels that this girl is no different from any other girl in her impression, and her actions and words are reassuring.I don't know much about the rest, and naturally I can't judge her intentions, so I have to let it go temporarily.

Now there are other things to do.

While the main hall of the outer courtyard was busy, Wen Gu was in the inner courtyard discussing with Wen Liang about the layout of the courtyard in the city.

Li Xun, who brought the roster for entering the city, also sat on the side, not participating in the discussion, but tinkering with some unnamed things by himself.

"The corner door on the southwest side of the courtyard has been checked, and it is true that as the eldest lady said, there will be about a cup of tea when the defense is changed."

Wen Liang was a little ashamed when he spoke, strictly speaking, it was indeed his problem.

There is indeed a reason. The defense in the middle of the house is not to deploy fixed manpower everywhere, but to rotate more than ten teams of guards to do alternate patrols each time according to the roads and views in the inner and outer courtyards of the mansion, supplemented by the original servants. Maid, make an almost airtight net.

This was carefully arranged by Wen Liang's team in charge of defense matters.

But the reason for saying "almost" is that due to the lack of manpower of the hidden guards, there will be a short period of undefended state in several places.

I didn't completely ignore these places, but after careful consideration, I tried to adjust them to some special positions.

For example, the corner gate on the southwest corner is adjacent to the street on the outside, and across the street there are two residences of hidden guards, and a small courtyard rented by the hidden guards for temporary gatherings, where people are always present.

If you break through or sneak in from here, it may not be easier than other places.

The young miss could find something wrong with this, and Wen Liang was surprised and even more relieved. He also felt a little helpless and ashamed, but he didn't shirk it.I just don't know if the eldest lady pointed out this point alone, and if there are other arrangements for the next step.

"This place will be the same as it was before, but I have an idea that I don't know if it is feasible, and I have to ask Uncle Wen and Master Li to come up with an idea." Wen Gu looked at Li Xun and said with a smile.

Li Xun knew from her tone that there was trouble again. The last time Wen Gu asked him to do something, it was still "unsatisfactory". I lost a lot of face in front of me.

At this moment, she still had no good expression, and said: "Missy speaks up when she has something to say, who in the world is not at your disposal? Talking like this, it seems that you can discuss it with me."

Wen Gu was happy: "Since Mr. Li said so, then I will say it directly."

Then, Wen Gu talked about his general thoughts.

The layout of the southwestern corner gate cannot be adjusted at all, there should be some mistakes, and not only inside the courtyard, but also outside the courtyard.The premise is that all of this must not be perceived as deliberate, and there must be no problems in the "situation" that can be exploited or discovered by others.

This is the part that Wen Liang is in charge of. The difficulty lies in the design and layout, while Li Xun is in charge of a job that requires a lot of thought.

"Master Li wants to create a mechanism that can never see any abnormalities from any angle on weekdays. Once someone breaks into the mansion from this place, this mechanism must be activated immediately. To capture someone under certain circumstances. Moreover, it must be able to trap a peerless master, withstand the slashing of a sword, and not be able to break free by himself."

Wen Gu finished all the requirements in one breath, the words are clear, but the difficulty is really difficult.

The two of them just felt that although the eldest lady's request sounds complicated, it is feasible, but if it is actually implemented, it is by no means two things that can be easily accomplished.

Besides, it seemed too much like it was specially prepared for one person.

Wen Liang asked when he had something to say: "Miss is going to catch Nan Yijian and become Wang Shu...what kind of person?"

A peerless master and an expert at judging the situation, the only thing he can think of is Cheng Wangshu.

"Who is Nan Yijian?" Li Xun asked.

Wen Liang saw that Wen Gu had no words, so he told Li Xunshun such sayings as "divide the north and the south with one sword, and the whole world is one sword", and "use the sword of the situation to observe the situation of the world".

It's just that Wen Liang and Li Mao are different, they are not good at telling stories, they just made some brief and straightforward narrations.

The meaning of the final conclusion is that if Cheng Wangshu comes, the hidden guards will be unable to guard against him no matter what.

"Is this Nan Yijian so powerful?"

Li Xun became uncharacteristically interested when he heard this, and immediately accepted the job.Wen Gu told him not to even go to the government office, but to open up a small courtyard and allocate good manpower for him to dispatch, and only told him to concentrate on doing this.

He was talking lively here, when he saw Hua Ji rushing over, although his face was still drunk, but his steps were light, obviously drunk but not drunk.
