Fu Han General's Mansion, in the backyard.

Not to mention that Gongsun Sang couldn't see Wu Nian, no one in the backyard except Wang Ruyan could see Wu Nian.

Wang Ruyan announced to the public that Wu Nian was infected with a serious disease, which might be transmitted to people who met him, causing harm to the second generation such as Wu Min and Wu Yu.

Therefore, no one could see Wu Nian. Even if Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao and other three important officials came in, they could only talk to Wang Ruyan through the door, and Wang Ruyan would then convey it to Wu Nian.

The maids, domestic slaves, and guards in the backyard were all banned. No one was allowed to spread the news, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.

Wu Nian's bedroom, in the outer room. The weather is still cold now. Wu Nian is wearing winter clothes, sitting on a stool, reading the military book next to the table. Wang Ruyan is waiting beside him.

"Sir, is it worth it to do this?" Wang Ruyan picked up the teapot, bent down and poured a glass of water, handed it to Wu Nian, and asked with a sigh.

"If you don't do it seriously, how can old foxes like Wang Zhongbi and Chunyuan believe it? Only if I am seriously ill or dead will they dare to lead their troops to attack me. This is also a duel. You need to be patient."

Wu Nian sighed, shook his head and said.

"How is Xiang'er? I'm very worried about her." Immediately, Wu Nian's face showed worry again. It wasn't just Liu Xiang.

Wu, Chen and Xiaohong were all worried.

But now, the overall situation is the most important thing. If Nanhai Mansion is attacked by force, many people will die. Liu Xiang, Chen, and Xiaohong's acting skills are too poor. If they know, they may be exposed.

"Don't worry, sir. Madam is very strong. The soup that I "drink" every day is cooked by madam herself." Wang Ruyan shook his head gently, with a look of admiration on his face.

Although Liu Xiang looks very gentle on weekdays, she is very strong at critical moments. Maybe it's because she is a mother. Being a mother makes you strong.

"It's really hard on her, and it's hard on you too. You follow me as a butcher. When I go on an expedition, you are all worried, right?"

Wu Nian felt a little relieved, but still worried. He put down the book in his hand, reached out and grabbed Wang Ruyan's little hand, and said softly.

"My words are serious. Although we are worried, we are also very happy. We all like the butcher." Wang Ruyan held Wu Nian's hand with his backhand and stroked it carefully. These rough hands were holding weapons.

, which made her very distressed.

Her man has endured too much.

He fought in the south and in the north, and single-handedly laid the foundation of these two provinces. He is the banner, he is the steel, he is the backbone of everyone, and he cannot fail.

When he fell, the Fuhan General's Mansion also collapsed.

"Madam." A maid's voice sounded outside the closed door. Wang Ruyan let go of Wu Nian's hand, came to the door, and talked to the maid through the door.

Soon, she came back and told Wu Nian about Gongsun Sang in a low voice, "Master. Gongsun Sang..."

"Gongsun Sang is a capable man, but he is too young and very restless. Therefore, the fewer people know about this matter, the better."

Wu Nian's eyes flashed and he nodded gently.

After talking to Wang Ruyan for a while, Wu Nian began to exercise with bare hands. Push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, etc.

Although Wu Nian didn't have any equipment at hand, he could still maintain his physical strength by relying on these trainings, and even go further.

During this period, Wu Nian was like a prisoner in a cell, hiding his minions, waiting for the opportunity to make a big move.

It's hard work, but it's worth it.

Everything is to make it easier to capture Nanhai Mansion.

.............

Chen Jiagui's spies are very powerful and are spread throughout the Liaodong area. It is difficult for them to detect secrets, but they are very reliable in detecting the signs of trouble and mobilizing troops and horses.

On the contrary, Wang Zhongbi, a native of Chunyuan and even Goguryeo, also had spies in Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture to work carefully.

In the south of Jiang County, in a house, in a room.

Two men were sitting cross-legged across from each other. One was in his early thirties and had an ordinary appearance. He was the type that would not be looked at twice if he was placed in a crowd.

His name is Li Hui, and he is a carpenter on the surface. He does not set up stalls or sell, but only does custom work. In other words, he only starts work when someone comes to his door and asks him to build something, and he lives in seclusion.

Secretly, his spy Wang Zhongbi is the intelligence chief of Jiang County.

Opposite him was a man in his early forties named Li Shugen. On the surface, he was a businessman selling wood, and he was an ordinary craftsman.

"Sir, the maids, domestic slaves, and guards in the backyard of General Fu Han's Mansion are very tight-lipped, and nothing can be gleaned from their mouths. But I have a question."

"If Wu Nian is dead, there is no need to say more. People like Liu Zhixing keep secrets. But if Wu Nian is sick, he must take medicine. We can start with the dregs of the medicine. I have investigated for a long time, but there is no

Traces of the medicine residue were found. But every day at noon, someone sent the feces and urine produced in the Fuhan General's Mansion outside the city. Maybe the medicine residue was among them."

Li Shugen said in a deep voice.

Li Hui's eyes lit up and he nodded and said: "What a good idea. Go and investigate immediately. If we can get the medicine residue, we can not only determine Wu Nian's life or death, but also determine the extent of Wu Nian's illness."

"Yes." Li Shugen nodded in agreement. Soon after, Li Shugen left the house and left the city.

At noon, he followed the convoy transporting excrement and urine from the Fuhan General's Mansion and arrived at a village. Feces and urine are good things and can fertilize the fields.

It is normal for the feces and urine to be transported from the city to the manor outside the city.

After Li Shugen found out the location, he left. At night, in the dead of night, Li Shugen lurked into the manor, searched around, and finally dug up medicinal residue in a corner of the manor.

"Wu Nian is still alive, but he is really sick." When Li Shugen, wearing night clothes, dug out the medicine residue, he was ecstatic.

This information was important information. The general must be heavily rewarded. He couldn't identify what disease these medicinal residues were used to treat. So he dug up a lot, filled it back with soil, and quietly left the manor.

Not long after Li Shugen left, another night traveler quietly entered the manor and also dug up the medicine residue.

Wu Nian was "sick" and had to take a pill of medicine a day. There was a lot of medicine residue here. Although a lot of it was dug up by the roots of the plum tree, there was still a lot left.

The night traveler took out a black cloth, did the same thing, took away a lot of medicine residue, and left the manor.

This night traveler is a detailed work of Meng Yuan.

The Meng Yuan and Goguryeo people reached a tacit understanding.
