Chapter 55
Her words were too appalling.

Wen Yuting frowned, "Master Zhou, food is easy to handle, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver, and so many craftsmen and armaments, how did they manage to transfer them overnight without leaving any clues. "

Zhou Shu raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.

"Didn't you stay?"

After the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the main hall.

Wang Youxian couldn't take it anymore, he said loudly, "Lord Zhou, this general is stupid, so don't play charades with me and the young master, just say it, what should we do?"

"A few days ago, you asked this general and that Sun Yao to capture the traitor together, but in the end, the traitor had already been decapitated and implicated..." Ah Hua.

The word "A Hua" is currently taboo.

As soon as the words came to his lips, Wang Youxian immediately reacted, and Wen Yuting also bumped his elbow in time.

Only then did he restrain himself.

"Master Zhou, this general is..."

"No problem." Zhou Shu changed the subject with a calm expression, "The bombing of the cave is not accidental."

"These days, I always have a premonition in my heart, as if our every move is being monitored by others."

"Blowing up the cave, let us discover the traitor's private forging of ordnance, and Zhang Mao'an's rescue. In the dark, it seems that there is a big hand stirring up the situation behind."

She frowned, thinking carefully about what had happened recently.

She was too confident before, always thinking that she had no plans and that she was in control of everything.

The successive incidents these days have exhausted her physically and mentally, and she has thoughts of doubt.

Just like what Wen Yuting asked her a long time ago: "Zhou Shu, are you tired of guessing other people's thoughts so painstakingly?"

is she tired
Of course I'm tired.

Perhaps, she was wrong from the beginning.

Zhou Shu was trapped in his own thoughts, his hands on his knees were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

Over there, Wang Youxian called her twice, seeing that she didn't respond, he couldn't help but look at Wen Yuting.

Wen Yuting pursed his lips angrily, put down the crossed leg, walked up to Zhou Shu, stretched out two well-articulated fingers, and gently pushed her shoulders.

He bent down, leaned against that handsome face, and approached her eyes.

"Master Zhou, what are you thinking about?"

"what?"

The handsome face in front of him suddenly enlarged, Zhou Shu subconsciously leaned back, his head almost hit the back of the chair.

Fortunately, Wen Yuting had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and protected her with his hands, which prevented her from knocking.

"Be careful."

"Thank you." Zhou Shu blushed a little.

Wen Yuting stared curiously at her reddish cheeks as if discovering some new land.

"Hey," said, "Master Zhou, your face is so red."

His tone was very innocent.

Zhou Shu's face "boomed", and it turned even redder, like a ripe fruit, bright red and very attractive.

Wen Yuting blinked those innocent pupils, stretched out an index finger, and poked half of her face.

Casual and deliberate.

"Master Zhou, the Marquis just realized today that although you are weak in body, Master Zhou, you have a very good face, which is a bit indistinguishable between male and female. If you dress up as a man, you may even be the top card in the brothel in the capital. Feel ashamed and bleak."

This bastard!

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shu blushed, slapped his hand away, and stood up from the chair.

With anger on his face, he took a step back, cupped his hands and said: "Young Master, the parents who suffer from your body, hair and skin, you are really, really..."

She painstakingly meditated for a long time, and finally uttered a sentence in shame and indignation, "It's really an insult to gentleness!"

Scholars, I really can't swear any nasty words.

The words "disgraceful and gentle" are like scratching Wen Yuting's itch, it's not painful.

He pursed his lips and laughed out loud, "Lord Zhou, this Marquis is just outspoken, but it has become insulting to you."

"Is this Marquis insulting gentlemen, or are you prudish?"

He became more and more unruly.

Zhou Shu knew that he couldn't beat him in playing tricks, so he simply kept his mouth shut, not wanting to argue with him.

Over there, Wang Youxian looked at the two of them, but he was very anxious.

"Whenever, young master, Mr. Zhou, you still have the mind to joke here, the business is important."

Before he left Beijing, His Majesty had given an explanation that he must find out the whereabouts of the relief money, otherwise...

He had issued a military order in front of Emperor Xuan.

Wang Youxian scratched his head anxiously.

"What should we do now? Mr. Zhou, you are talking."

"General Wang, don't be impatient." Zhou Shu comforted him.

Then he took out a map of Xiangzhou City, unfolded it and put it in front of Wen Yuting and Wang Youxian.

"Young Lord, General Wang, please take a look."

Hearing this, Wen Yuting and Wang Youxian looked over together.

"Master Zhou, what's so special about this map?"

Zhou Shu pointed to a place, "Look here."

"The terrain here is dangerous, and there is heavy fog all year round, and there are few people. The officials think that if you want to hide supplies, this is the best place."

But didn't she just say that the supplies are in the Governor's Mansion?
Wang Youxian was full of doubts about her inconsistent words.

Asked: "Master Zhou, you just said before that the materials are in the governor's mansion, why do you say now that this is the best place to hide materials?"

Zhou Shu shook his head, "General Wang, the lower officials have never said that the materials are hidden in the Governor's Mansion."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Youxian became anxious immediately.

"You just clearly are..."

"General Wang." Before he could finish arguing with Zhou Shu, Wen Yuting interrupted him by raising his hand.

"General Wang, please be safe and don't be impatient. Benhou believes that Master Zhou will give you and me a reasonable explanation. Let's listen to him now."

With Wen Yuting saying this, Wang Youxian nodded and shut up.

Zhou Shu continued: "Young Lord, General Wang, I didn't mean to play riddles on purpose, it was really only the lower officials who figured it out."

She pointed to the mountain range just mentioned.

"The lower official has asked someone to ask, and confirmed that this mountain range is not far from the bombed cave, and the two mountains are independent, so when the cave is bombed, this place will not be affected."

"Look, General Wang, this is the cave that was blown up. At that time, the exit of the cave was blocked by huge rocks, and the people inside couldn't get out at all. When the soldiers dug the exit, those people had already fled. There should be another way out."

Saying that, Zhou Shu tapped the middle of the two mountains again.

"If there is a secret passage from this cave to this mountain forest, and there is thick fog as a cover, our people may not be able to find them in ten and a half months."

"But according to Mr. Zhou, since this mountain forest is covered by thick fog and the rebel leaders have already led people to flee here, why do you have to take such a big risk to leave the city?"

Wang Youxian raised his own question again.

"Besides, they know that we have discovered the secret of privately forged ordnance. In order to find their whereabouts, the whole city must be under martial law. If they want to get out of the city, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. , are definitely not people who are brave and foolish, but they chose the most stupid method and forced their way into the city gate, which is simply sending them to death."
