I waited uneasily in the private room in the middle of the second floor, imagining how I would face Xiao Mu when he showed up. Liu Jiabao and others said that he was an imperial envoy. Is that true?
"Are you looking for me?" A deep voice sounded.
I was startled. Maybe I was so absorbed that I didn't realize when he entered the room. He was still wearing a washed-out gray shirt and had a silver-white cloth bag slung across his body, but he didn't have it in his hand.
Get the fan again.
"Mu..." I suddenly hesitated. I was used to calling him Brother Mu, so I didn't know what to call him.
Xiao Mu didn't seem to care, he sat down leaning on the table, and then lay lazily on the table, as if the sun had been beaten by frost.
"I...I heard...that you have recruited all twelve elite spies?" I asked carefully and tentatively.
"Um."
"Who is the captain of Team Yin, Team Mao and Team Hai?"
"The captain of the Yin team is Hu Zhong, the county captain of Yongqing County. The captain of the Hai team is Tu Youcheng, the owner of the Yongqing Inn. You know the captain of the Mao team, Du Xiuzhen, the female doctor from Huichun Hall."
I took a deep breath: "Then...who are you?"
"If you don't know that I am an imperial envoy at this time, then you, the captain of the team, can really be dismissed from your post." Xiao Mu said calmly.
"Imperial envoy...are you really an imperial envoy?" I knew I was asking an abrupt question, but I didn't know what to do. Should I salute or apologize for my previous rudeness?
"yes."
I looked at his lifeless look: "Really? The imperial envoy appointed by the saint, just...you...are like this?"
Xiao Mu looked at the corner with dull eyes: "I've been in a bad mood lately."
"Bad mood?"
"Lost in love."
"Lovelorn?" I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xiao Mu slapped his palm on the table: "Do you have any sympathy? Are you still smiling?"
"I..." I bit my lip desperately to hold back my laughter, and looked at Xiao Mu silently for a while. The expression on his face was still calm, without any trace of sadness, but his eyes were a bit tired, and he probably hadn't been there for some days.
Have a good rest.
"Li Jianghu, do you have someone you like?" he asked, stroking the corner of the table with his hand, as if caressing the person he loved.
I...do I have someone I like?
I admit, I am stumped by this question. Growing up, apart from my mother-in-law, I have only had close relationships with two women.
Wang Jiajia has been a childhood sweetheart since she was a child and grew up on the same milk. For her, apart from the brother-sister relationship I think I have, is there any love between a man and a woman?
As for Mrs. Mu, the goddess in my heart, I have always felt that she is out of reach. If she is a white swan, I can only be a toad. How dare I think about the relationship between men and women.
"Is this question difficult to answer?" Xiao Mu's eyes showed a bit of contempt: "Jia Jia is a good girl, except for the scar on her face, but that is not her problem, because no one in this world is perfect.
of.
Over the years, Jiajia has been deeply affectionate to you, never leaving you, and has no regrets about her love for you. Don’t you have any feelings for her at all?"
Jiajia! This title is so natural and so kind! It made me suddenly feel uncomfortable.
"You seem to know her quite well?" I was confused. It seems they haven't met her a few times.
"There is no regret medicine in this world. Once some people miss it, they will never go back."
Xiao Mu's voice was trembling. Could it be that he was really trapped in love? I just didn't hear that he was in love with a girl from another family? He was still lovelorn? Who would reject the love of an imperial envoy? Could he be a married woman?
I thought to myself, if it had been before, I would have laughed it off, or forced him to say it, and analyzed it for him. But now, he is an imperial envoy, and with this important status, I suddenly feel that he cannot be too casual.
But then again, is he really an imperial envoy? Which imperial envoy has such virtue?
"Well, uh... As the saying goes, there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world. If we are destined to meet you, we will meet you naturally..." I comforted him without saltiness.
Xiao Mu finally laid his eyes on my face: "Mrs. Mu has decided to recruit marriages throughout the city. Once the notice is posted, more and more people will come to hear about it. If someone wants to rent your house, pay more attention.
.”
"Rent my house? Who wants to rent it?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I felt happy. If I could really rent it out, I could make some money again.
"Your house is about two-quarters of an hour's walk from the Governor's Mansion. It only takes a cup of tea to ride a horse or use Qinggong. The surrounding neighbors are exclusive small courtyards, most of which are farmers in the suburbs. Only you and your neighbor Wang
Fatty goes to and from the city center every day.
Fatty Wang's family only has two rooms, and he has an unmarried daughter at home, so it is impossible to rent a house. But your family now has an extra room. Your mother makes some needlework every day and goes out to sell it, so the house is really quiet.
Therefore, if I work carefully in Tubo, I will most likely choose your house to settle down, become friends with you, and let you take me to the Jianghu Inn to deliver goods, do odd jobs on the streets, and find out the information I want."
I was still wondering why Xiao Mu kept telling me about falling in love, but unexpectedly he suddenly changed the topic.
Tubo is working hard! Will he take advantage of Mrs. Mu’s marriage proposal to join in the fun? Will he rent my house?
"Are you...calculating, or inferring?"
Xiao Mu didn't answer, and finally a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Your house is well built. Since you completed the task well, you passed the assessment."
"Ah? Passed? You mean...I am now a real secret agent of the Sky Eye and captain of the team?" I was overjoyed for a moment.
"Yes. Your next task is to follow Song Erlang and the others to do odd jobs for others, and then spread the word to rent out a new house at the price of two hundred cash per month." Xiao Mu gave a new order.
"The workmanship is certain. I deliver the tofu every day, and apart from visiting Lao Meng every few days, I have plenty of time. But, who would want to rent a house for 200 yuan a month? Song Erlang and his family are in a similar location.
"I think this imperial envoy still doesn't quite understand today's housing prices.
"It depends on your ability. Although the houses in the center of the city are in good locations, most of them are old and only cost 200 yuan. If they are renovated, the price has already doubled. And your house is only that far away.
A little bit, but the new house is spacious and quiet. Others are reluctant to give up money, but if you work carefully, you will never be short of money." Xiao Mu affirmed, then stood up and walked out, and stopped again when he reached the door: "During this period, Meng Sima is here
I will make tokens for you, and when Madam Mu has chosen a husband, I will summon the captains of your twelfth team to gather together."
"Are you...really an imperial envoy?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, you can still call me Xiao Mu."
I stared at him until he disappeared, then went downstairs and saw Ah Wu coming in from the door.
"Is the imperial envoy gone?" I asked pretending to be calm.
"Well, let's go." Ah Wu replied, taking two steps towards me: "But what big thing happened? You are so powerful? Even the imperial envoy is always on call."
"Is he really an imperial envoy?" I couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes. Don't you know?" Ah Wu was confused.
"But...he looks like this, how does he look like an imperial envoy?"
"It doesn't seem like it, but there's nothing we can do about it. He's an imperial envoy. After he took office, the officials of the Governor's Office even invited him to stay at our inn."
I carefully recalled everything I had with Xiao Mu, and it seemed that Long Yuhan had said many times that he had never seen anyone as an official as the Imperial Envoy.
However, he has seen Lieutenant Mu yelling at him several times. He is obviously very afraid of Lieutenant Mu. Since he is an imperial envoy, how can he be afraid of Lieutenant Mu? Is it just a show for me?
"What's wrong?" Ah Wu asked again when he saw that I was dazed.
I smiled: "Oh, it's okay. I'm going home first."
…
"Brother Jianghu, where have you been? Come on, I'm waiting for you." When Wang Jiajia saw me entering the hospital, she grabbed me and pulled me into the main room.
Why is this girl still staying at my house at this time? I followed her into the house and saw that the table was covered with wine and food, and Aniang and Fatty Wang were sitting at the table talking and laughing.
"Master is here too." I smiled at Fatty Wang. He took a leave of absence these days and has been helping my family. His relationship with my mother-in-law seems to have become much closer.
"Jianghu, come, sit down, and have a few more drinks with me."
But my mother-in-law wrinkled her nose at me: "Where did you go to drink?"
I also sniffed at him and said, "Oh, I got together with some friends at noon."
"Come on, Fatty, I've really troubled you these days. Here's to you." Seeing that Wang Jiajia had filled everyone's drinks, Aniang became polite to Fatty Wang first.
"Oh, sister, I'm really not used to you being so polite. The neighbor next door, haha, is too outspoken."
The two drank it all in one gulp.
Wang Jiajia and I looked at each other, smiled secretly, and quickly filled the two of us again.
"Jianghu, why don't you respect your master quickly?"
"Oh, Master, I respect you."
"Aye, I respect you too."
"These two children..." Auntie gave me and Wang Jiajia a chicken drumstick each, and glanced at us with a loving look on her face: "In a flash, the children have grown up, but we have grown old. I don't know if we can survive."
They get married and start a business."
"Mom, you're here again." I quickly stopped him: "Mom, Master, I'm happy today. There's something I want to tell you, but you have to promise to keep it strictly confidential."
Fatty Wang's face was slightly red, and he swallowed the wine in the glass: "You bastard, if you fart, just let it go!"
"I...I have become a secret agent of the Sky Eye." I said happily, "And I am an elite agent."
"That's right, Brother Jianghu is the captain of the team...but he's still..."
"Passed, passed." I corrected: "I am already the official team captain."
"Really, Brother Jianghu, it's really great." Wang Jiajia shook my arm excitedly, even spilling the wine in my glass.
"Elite spy?" Grandma was a little confused.
So I roughly told the story of how Xiao Mu recruited me to be a spy, and Wang Jiajia also exaggerated it. It was a wonderful story.
"Then...then you are an imperial envoy now?" Fatty Wang was still in a daze.
"Yes, and also, Jiajia is the vice-captain, and the only team member is Song Erlang. I was thinking..."
"Are you still sending someone?" My mother-in-law grabbed my hand excitedly and said, "My mother is the only one."
"ah?"
"And me." Fatty Wang also came over seriously.
I thought that Su Xiaolu had analyzed it for me and found that our team was really thin, and I was worried about who to find. If A Niang and Fatty Wang were added to the team, it would be a team of five.
Thinking of this, I was secretly happy in my heart, but my face was pretentious: "The Imperial Envoy has very strict requirements for Sky Eye agents. Even if I choose you, the Imperial Envoy will probably test you secretly. If you are not qualified, the Imperial Envoy will not think that I am
Just show favoritism."
"How could it be? How could I, Fatty Wang, be unqualified? Our combination is so ingenious that we can guarantee that no one is aware of anything. Haha, externally, as a master and disciple, I promise to listen to your orders in private." Fatty Wang said swornly.
"Well, when it comes to official business, my mother will listen to you."
"Brother Jianghu..." Wang Jiajia also cast a pleading look.
I nodded slightly: "Okay then, I'll recruit you first and wait for the imperial envoy to make the final decision." This chapter has been completed!
