Chapter 461: Shelter from wind and rain
Chapter 461
Judging from the fact that the other party lied to her into the secret room and the inconsistent words, most of them were lying.
But she still feels restless in her heart.
His grandfather was naturally safe before leaving Beijing, but what about after leaving Beijing? What if someone really got the emperor's instruction and secretly moved his hands and feet?
"Counting days, the Duke should have just arrived in Dongyuan City, just at the beginning of the war. The safety of the first army commander is related to the morale of the army, and even the success or failure of the war -" Wu Chao objectively analyzed: "Even if the emperor wants to do something. , Should not be selected at this time."
Xu Mingyi nodded her head, she naturally understood these principles, but who made the dog emperor never be a human, told her that she couldn't be at ease and treat it according to common sense.
Wu Chao didn't even persuade her to feel relieved, and then said: "But in this battle of the Li Clan, the Guo Gong has a good chance of winning, and the Guo Gong is not a militant person. As long as the opponent is willing to surrender, it may not take much time. Then the war can be ended-and in such a situation, we really need to be more prepared. We can send a credible and sensitive person to Dongyuan as soon as possible to inquire about the state of the country in secret."
This is exactly what Xu Mingyi wanted to hear.
Although she had repeatedly told Qin Wushu before that if something unusual happened, she would send a letter back to Beijing, but she was afraid that Qin Wushu would not be able to detect it in time, or something went wrong in the process of sending the letter.
So, it's better to let people go and have a look.
"If it really matters to my grandfather's health, or if I need to invite a person who is proficient in medicine to accompany me, then I can really prevent any accidents..." Xu Ming asked, asking.
Although there is an accompanying military doctor, she still prefers to believe in the people she sent.
At such a juncture, there must be no carelessness or fluke.
And ordinary doctors may not be useful...
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but think of Akui.
Akui said that she would do more for her on weekdays, but the little girl is really easy to learn and has some foundation, so this year, she has followed her to learn a lot of real skills.
Seeing that she seemed to have made a decision, Wu Chao said: "This matter must not disturb the emperor's eyes and ears. You must cover your eyes and ears along the way, and be careful. Even if you are near Dongyuan City, you should not go directly to the military camp with great fanfare."
"That's right." Xu Mingyi nodded, his thoughts were meticulous and long-term. Even though Xu Jiajun ruled the army strictly, he never dared to say that there was no emperor's eyeliner.
In order to prevent being targeted, everything should be done secretly, so that you can take the initiative.
"I will write a letter to Uncle Qin first, and let him make arrangements for the reception."
"You don't have to be so troublesome. Just leave as soon as possible. The letter may not arrive before others." Wu Chao said, "There is a secret pile of Wu's family in Dongyuan City, and there should be a secret contact with the Guogong. I will let Xiaowu go with him. , With him arranging management all the way, it will be more appropriate and smoother."
When it comes to the secret pile forces that originated in various places in Daqing, the Xu family is undoubtedly inferior to the Wu family.
If there is a small five who escorts Akui, naturally it would be better.
At the moment, everything is safe first. Xu Mingyi has no reason to refuse. He turned to look at him and said, "So I will trouble you again—"
Wu Chao heard the words slowly under his feet, and turned his head to look at her. When he was about to say something, there was a wind, and the rain came obliquely.
He subconsciously moved one step closer to her, leaning half-side in front of her, blocking all the wind and rain from behind.
Xu Mingyi looked at the tall and tall young man who was close at hand, thinking about everything that happened tonight, no matter how big or small, he seemed to keep in front of her like this.
At this time, the rain was quite heavy, and the squally wind blew the rain fluttering, but she was in this small place, but he seemed to be protected by the wind and rain.
shelter from wind and rain.
These four words have always been heard a lot, as if they give people a very common illusion, so there seems to be nothing worth thinking about, but at this moment, feeling his protection, the stability and touch in her heart is beyond words. .
The wind stopped, and Wu Chao held the umbrella and continued to take her forward.
However, in the next instant, a hand was suddenly held under the hand he was holding the umbrella——
The girl’s fingers were slender and cool, half holding the handle of the umbrella, half touching his hand, she used some strength in her hand to straighten the umbrella body that was leaning towards her, and the person moved closer to him, allowing both of them to be able to Under the umbrella.
Although he is willing to protect her, she is not just someone who wants to be protected.
Aware of her intentions, after Wu Chao was slightly startled, a smile appeared between his eyebrows and eyes.
In the rain and fog, the two gradually walked away.
……
There was nothing to do on the rainy night, at this time most of the people in Beijing had already stopped.
Master Ji in the Beijing Yali was not so comfortable anymore. At this time, he was still in the study to deal with official duties.
Recently, Beijing Central seems to be the same as before. Everything is still in order, but in fact, it has become more and more unstable.
This point, Ji Dong, who is Jingya Fu Yin, knows better than anyone else.
Leave aside, he hasn't had a moment of leisure in the daytime recently, and he is dealing with new cases almost every day.
In addition, these cases are similar to those commonly seen in the past: "The disagreeable dog of Lao Wang stole the chicken of Lao Li", "The vegetable seller and the tofu seller quarreled with each other over the stalls, and they even lied down in the street to report. Officer, I can’t pull it up." Wait for the difference—
Nowadays, the level of the case is gradually different...
Many people often fought out because of a few quarrels. Thefts were endless, and there were even several murders.
In Ji Dong’s view, this is not just a matter of public order, but a manifestation of the people’s sentiment being shaken and scattered, their trust in the court has declined, and their awe of law and discipline has been lost.
Thinking of this, Ji Dong couldn't help sighing slightly. Not only the people were worried, but he himself was no exception. Nowadays, when the day of paying his salary is approaching, he can't help but quietly panic, observing the wind and grass in secret, for fear of the court being in arrears.
I even couldn’t help thinking, if the court really didn’t pay salaries, would he continue to occupy the position first, or find a reason to resign? Which option is more cost-effective?
After all, he doesn't want to work for nothing.
With this skill, going to the dock for a day can earn dozens of dollars.
But the exhaustion of physical energy is not a long-term solution. It is better to be a clerk.
Master Ji thought for a while, his thoughts began to drift away. With the pen in his hand annotating the official document, it was almost time to write a line of "One Hundred Ways to Make Money After Resignation".
At this time, the door of the study was suddenly knocked from outside, interrupting Master Ji's thoughts.
A servant with rain on his body came in: "My lord, someone from the former government is here to report."
Here again?
Ji Dong's head hurts.
It doesn't stop during the day, and it doesn't make people breathe at night? Could it be that rainy night makes people pessimistic and sad, and it is more prone to failure?
"Why did it come from?"
Good evening, everybody.
Thank you Lu Qinghan and vanfic for your rewards. Thank you for your monthly pass.
