I looked at him with some contempt: "I finally told the truth. It turns out that this is the reason why you worked so hard to be a spy for the imperial envoy? I thought you were so righteous... Tsk, it made me feel a little ashamed at the time.
.”
Xiao Mu was startled and realized that he had made a mistake, but he just pursed his lips without any shame on his face. He tried hard to argue: "If we can balance public and private matters, why not do it? I can't do it too often.
You have to contact her as much as possible, otherwise you will alert the snake. But you are different, you have to deliver tofu to her every day, and you can just stay in her shop and look for evidence."
I suddenly felt that I was so superior that I even raised my head: "Hey, then why do you dare to reveal your identity to me? Aren't you afraid that I will also be careful?"
"You don't know how. You are a native of Xiangzhou, and you have a mother who needs your support. You are very filial, how could you lead your mother to betray your hometown?" Xiao Mu affirmed.
"Then how do you know that I will definitely help you?"
Xiao Mu once again smiled charmingly: "You're not helping me, you're helping the imperial envoy, no, maybe you can say you're helping yourself.
You must have heard that on the fifteenth day of winter in the fourteenth year of Tianbao, Tubo Xizuo was infiltrated into our Xiangzhou City. Fortunately, Meng Baotou and Zhen Baotou discovered it in time and led people to arrest them. As a result, four people in Xizuo were killed, but
Seventeen agents were lost.
The leader was seriously injured and escaped. After recovering from his injuries, he not only came to Xiangzhou City again, but also infiltrated the Sky Eye Team and secretly colluded with the scum in Shenlong Villa outside Yongqing County.
If the imperial envoy hadn't ordered me to carefully find out the man's injuries from Meng Baotou and Long Yuhan's mouths and force him to reveal himself, I would have had endless troubles.
Real craftsmen are very calm. Like Zhu Jiang, he can spend several years slowly perfecting his identity, waiting for the opportunity, and only delivering a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Nowadays, Tubo has invaded a large area of territory in the western part of the Tang Dynasty. If they still want to advance eastward, our Xiangzhou will be in danger. However, the power of the imperial court is devoted to quelling the Anshi Rebellion in the north, and it cannot take care of it at all. We can only rely on ourselves.
The imperial envoy had already seen through Tubo's ambitions, just as he had revealed An Lushan's ambitions in front of all the civil and military officials at the Flower Calyx Tower after being named on the gold list.
The Supreme Emperor failed to listen to his advice, which allowed the rebels to invade Chang'an. Not only did they lose the throne, but they also caused Yang Guifei to hang herself in Mawei, and King An's body was buried in the Weihe River. It can be said that his wife and children were separated, and it was extremely miserable.
However, the prince, oh, the current saint, listened and praised him greatly, and even tried to keep him in Chang'an for his own use.
The Supreme Emperor did not hide the fact that the saint was forming cliques, so he sent him to Yiling and became a seventh-grade county magistrate.
The saint has been thinking of ways to transfer him back to the capital since he ascended the throne, and this time, appointing him as the imperial envoy to stabilize the situation in Xiangzhou is a good reason.
As long as the imperial envoy prevents Tubo from advancing eastward, he will be recalled to the capital soon and be promoted to an official position. It will be just around the corner. Are the people who will follow him and work hard at that time afraid that there will be no benefit?
At this moment, if something unexpected happens to the imperial envoy, Xiangzhou will definitely be left without a leader. In the entire city of Xiangzhou and the five counties, it is inevitable that some of the officials will be left without food. If a war breaks out, how will they defend themselves against the enemy?
The imperial envoy's idea is to clean up all the officials and let them perform their respective duties. Each locality will form its own militia, and join forces with the new owner of Shenlong Villa, Dongfang Hong, to guard against it together with the heroes of the world.
At this juncture, it is crucial to ensure the safety of the imperial envoy. Therefore, don’t look at the fact that the imperial envoy cannot be seen all day long. On the surface, he says he wants to ‘govern by doing nothing’, but in fact, he does not want Xizuo to find out about his life trajectory.
, thus assassinating in secret.
Maybe at this moment, the imperial envoy is conducting an undercover investigation in which county. Do you know how Peng Lun, the magistrate of Yongqing County, was dismissed? Just because the imperial envoy pretended to be an ordinary citizen and deliberately lost a horse on the street in his county town, but he failed.
Search with all your heart...
Sigh, it’s really hard to describe our imperial envoy. I’m still slowly figuring out his nature, so I’m trying to find a way for you.
In short, you will never suffer any loss if you follow me. What do you think? Are you willing to help me?"
I listened to the little Mule talk a lot, and couldn't help but become more interested in this handsome man: "Hey, you are secretly a spy of the Imperial Envoy. What is your identity in public? Where are you?
exactly is?"
"Um...telling fortunes for people." Xiao Mu turned away, seemingly a little embarrassed, and continued: "Don't underestimate us charlatans. With my sharp tongue, I can only make ends meet every day.
There’s still no problem.”
"Then where do you live?"
"This...no comment."
I was secretly amused, and suddenly felt pity for him, even pretending to be serious, maybe he didn't even have a home.
"Then if something happens, where can I find you?" I continued to ask.
Xiao Mu shook his head: "You don't need to look for me. If anything happens, I will take the initiative to show up and look for you."
"Then what's your name? Xiao Mu? Is it a nickname, or is your surname also Mu?"
"Sorry, I can't comment on the name." Xiao Mu said, licking his lips and shaking his fan harder: "If you have anything else to ask, tell me quickly, I'm almost dying of heat."
"Pfft", I finally couldn't help laughing, and wiped the sweat from my forehead again: "Hey, I don't see any sweat on your face, why are you so hot?"
"I didn't ask, then I'm leaving."
"Hey, the last two questions." I stopped him hastily: "Are you married? But you live alone?"
Xiao Mu pulled up his collar, which was soaked with sweat. He slapped his neck several times: "What do you mean?"
I smiled evilly: "Why do you doubt Mrs. Mu? I see that you are bent on currying favor with the imperial envoy, and you are so mysterious, so I have doubts about your identity and purpose. Could it be that...you are the craftsman, right?"
"You... I talked to you so earnestly that my mouth was dry, and you actually turned around and doubted me?" Xiao Mu pointed at his face with his hand, biting his lips and glaring at me.
It was quite cute to see him angry. I laughed and said, "Didn't you say that? To be a secret agent, you need to have keen observation skills. In my opinion, you are just like a craftsman."
Xiao Mu's lips trembled twice: "Me? How could I be Xizuo? How do I look like me? I am a secret agent who specializes in finding Xizuo!"
"Xiao Mu!"
A scolding suddenly sounded, and Xiao Mu and I were both startled. We saw a person falling like autumn leaves from the tree crown above our heads. He was dressed in black clothes, holding a black sword, and his hair crown was also black, and he looked upside down.
He is also handsome, no, cold and stern, with a chill all over his body that makes people afraid to approach him.
"Oh, Lieutenant Mu!" There was a trace of panic in Xiao Mu's eyes. He quickly closed his fan and clasped his hands deeply towards the man in black: "I wonder what Lieutenant Mu's orders are?"
Mu County Lieutenant?
He is Madam Mu's brother, the famous person next to the imperial envoy? No wonder he is so cold. However, his martial arts are indeed quite high, at least his Qing Gong is good. I don't know how long he has been in the tree. If he doesn't take the initiative to show up, I will
I didn't notice anyone in the tree at all.
"Instructions? Are my orders effective?" County Lieutenant Mu raised his sword and pointed at Xiao Mu: "Don't forget your identity. You are just a failed scholar. The imperial envoy thinks that you are also a scholar, and gives you some rights to help him recruit spies.
, don’t take yourself too seriously. Don’t think that anyone in the entire Xiangzhou city except you might be a spy, let alone keep your eyes on my sister. If I find you spying secretly again,
My sister, sneak into my sister's room, believe it or not, I will chop you with a sword!"
Sure enough, it was the famous man beside the imperial envoy. This aura and tone made people shudder. I glanced at his sword. Although it was not unsheathed, it still revealed a strong murderous intent.
"Yes. I won't spy on Mrs. Mu anymore, I promise... I won't." Xiao Mu obviously didn't want to provoke his sword. He changed his cool and unrestrained style in front of me and replied in an instant.
"That's good! The imperial envoy has come back and asked you to meet him tonight!" As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow jumped into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"He...he is Captain Mu?" I sighed.
"Yes." Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me tell you, he is obsessed with this sister who fell from the sky, and he can't listen to my advice at all."
"Now what?"
Xiao Mu unfolded the fan again and started shaking it: "What should I do? Just do as I told you just now. I promised him not to spy on Mrs. Mu, but I didn't say you couldn't spy on her?"
"I..." I was speechless for a moment. This man was really cunning and persistent. He didn't dare to offend County Lieutenant Mu, but he still wanted to check on his sister, so he pulled me out as a back-up.
If I checked, wouldn’t Lieutenant Mu’s sword be unsheathed on me?
"What? Are you afraid? I promise you, as long as you complete this task, I will definitely let you become a secret agent of the Sky Eye."
"Who's scared?" I patted my chest and said, "I'll check it out, but it's not to help you, but to help Mrs. Mu. I want to help her clear away the suspicion."
"Okay, then it's settled. But you have to be careful not to let her notice, let alone County Lieutenant Mu know about it. I will show up to see you from time to time." Xiao Mu said, turning around and leaving.
Go, and soon disappear in the dazzling sunshine.
Madam Mu, who are you? Don’t worry, I will find out your identity carefully. I put the silk handkerchief into my arms, picked up the burden and continued towards home...
As soon as I entered the yard, Wang Jiajia came up to me as always, helped me take the burden off my shoulders, and gave me a basin of water. After I washed my face, a bowl of herbal tea was placed in front of me.
I took the tea and drank it in one gulp. Looking at her satisfied smile, I couldn't help but feel guilty. This silly girl knew that I didn't like her, so why did she insist on being nice to me?
"Jiajia, but Jianghu is back? The food is cooked and ready to eat!" Aniang's voice shouted from the kitchen.
"Hey!" Wang Jiajia responded, taking the empty bowl in my hand: "Brother Jianghu, please go sit in the room first, and I'll serve the food."
"Jiajia, look, this is your favorite braised pork. Slow it down and be careful..." Aniang's gentle voice seemed to have changed.
I was completely confused. This seems to be my house, right? Fatty Wang eats at the Yamen every day at noon, and this girl stays at my house all day eating and drinking, and she is so close to my mother! I also like braised pork.
, why do you feel that grandma made it specially for Wang Jiajia? This chapter has been completed!
