Wu Cheng's face was cold, and he was a little disappointed. He wanted to blame, but he was afraid of offending my friend, so he expected me to say a few words, but I didn't know Xiao Mu's intention, and I didn't know whether I should reveal his identity.
The originally lively scene suddenly stopped.
"Jianghu, why are you standing there? Fatty, are you stupid? How old are you, and you can't hold the cup steady?" Auntie was also a little confused.
Xiao Mu had tasted all the dishes in an instant. He wiped the oil from his mouth and waved to Fatty Wang: "You are sitting here, it's not like I'm in a government office. There aren't so many rules."
"Yes." Fatty Wang received the order and slowly sat down straight.
"Why...are you here?" I asked. I still didn't know what to call him, so I just left it out.
"Isn't he looking for me?" Xiao Mu looked at Wu Cheng: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Haha, I... don't understand what you mean." Wu Cheng touched his beard with a confused look on his face.
"Oh, Mrs. Wu, I think Yuanyuan seems to be sleepy. You can take her back to the room to sleep first. Tu Youcheng and I have something serious to discuss." Xiao Mu touched Yuanyuan's head and said to Mrs. Tu.
.
Lady Tu glanced at Wu Cheng, smiled at everyone, and took the child away.
Wu Cheng's face was a little red, maybe because of drinking or being too nervous. He stared at Xiao Mu closely: "Who are you?"
"Me?" Xiao Mu pointed at himself with his thumb: "I am the imperial envoy you are looking for! Really? Fatty Wang?"
Wu Chengjun and I both looked at Fatty Wang at the same time. He was the deputy director of the governor's office, so he must have recognized the imperial envoy. Is it him?
When Fatty Wang heard Xiao Mu announce his identity, he couldn't help but stand up straight again. When he saw us looking at him, he smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Wu Cheng's eyes scanned Xiao Mu's body again, with an incredible look on his face. This reminded me of the last time I heard Liu Jiabao explain Xiao Mu's identity at Yuelai Restaurant. I guess I looked like this at the time.
Bar.
"Are you...really an imperial envoy?" Wu Cheng couldn't help but ask again, looking at me for help.
"The Sky Eye secretly investigates the Captain of the Hai Team, the new owner of Yongqing Inn, Tu Youcheng, the son of Tu Fa." Xiao Mu said with a smile: "Originally, I was planning to ask your father-in-law to be the captain of the Hai Team for me, but he said that he was too old.
I am afraid that I will not be able to do what I want. Now I just want to concentrate on listening to Master Wu Lian’s lectures on Zen. Even the Yongqing Inn has been left to you to take care of."
"What? He...he is the captain of Team Hai?" I couldn't help it anymore. This Xiao Mu is really good at tormenting people. Didn't he say that he was careful? Didn't he say that I had passed the assessment? Why is it so big?
Call a spy from afar to come and test me?
Tu Youcheng must have believed it. He suddenly knelt down on the ground and said, "Tu Youcheng, please pay homage to the envoy!"
"Get up. I don't have so many rules." Xiao Mu supported him and waved his sleeves to everyone: "Don't stand around, sit down and chat while you eat. I've already eaten.
I didn't expect this dish to be so fragrant, it's really refreshing..." As he spoke, his eyes scanned the table. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and reached out to grab the chicken drumstick that I had already eaten in the bowl next to him.
, gnawed it with relish.
This eating scene... I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and the air around me suddenly condensed again.
Fortunately, I had been friends with him for a period of time, and I quickly came to my senses. I quickly picked up the clean dishes and chopsticks and picked up a few more pieces of chicken and ribs for him.
"Enough, enough, I really can't eat anymore." Xiao Mu declined, burped, and pushed the bowl away. Then he pointed at me and said, "Tu Youcheng, you have passed the test now.
, I would like to formally introduce you, they are all secret agents of the Sky Eye, Team Wei, he is the captain Li Jianghu!"
"Captain of the missing team?" Tu Youcheng looked at me in surprise and handed over his hand: "Nice to meet you!"
I returned the gift, feeling a little guilty: "I'm really sorry, I... I thought... Mu... Oh, Sir, I wonder if our teams can all get to know each other, otherwise it will be easy to accidentally injure one of our own.
.We thought Captain Tu was a spy of Tubo, and we were about to get him drunk... Haha... I'm sorry."
"So, I was the one who came in time." Xiao Mu felt a little confused for a moment: "People say that I am an imperial envoy who is omnipotent, so what? Did I appear in time before you can kill each other? I am powerful, right?
!”
With a "Pfft" sound, Wang Jiajia couldn't help laughing, and quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head. Aniang hugged her into her arms and smiled apologetically at Xiao Mu, for fear that Xiao Mu would blame her.
Xiao Mu, however, didn't care. He was so intoxicated with himself that he said: "Don't worry, we will let you get to know each other, but it's not time yet. I have to test you all next to each other!"
I couldn't help it anymore: "I haven't passed the exam yet?"
Xiao Mu glared at me: "That's enough for you! I will try again with others. For example, Tu Youcheng, you need to pay more attention. Take this time as an example, the task I give you is:
Come to Xiangzhou City to settle down as a refugee and wait for my summons.
First of all, it is worthy of recognition: you are dressed as a refugee very well, and you also brought your wife and daughter with you, a family of three, to escape to find relatives. This scene is very real.
But, the details!”
Xiao Mu tapped the edge of the table with his chopsticks: "Details determine success or failure!"
Tu Youcheng suddenly stood up straight again: "Please give me some advice!"
"Hey, sit down. Don't be too outspoken. Your father and I met three years ago, as well as the Faceless Master. We have a very good relationship, so this time I chose the secret agent to let him be between us.
Passing the message. Didn’t Master Wu Lian tell you that I’ve always been an easy-going person, just like Li Jianghu, just call me Xiao Mu.” Xiao Mu said, thinking he had eaten too much greasy food, so he poured himself a cup of tea.
Drink.
"Haha, they all say that you are approachable, and when I saw you today, it turned out to be a well-deserved reputation. Um... Jianghu is used to being careless on weekdays. If I offend you in any way, I hope you will forgive me." Auntie smiled and said softly.
"Aunt Song is worrying too much. Li Jianghu and I have been friends for a long time. How can there be anything different between friends?" Xiao Mu said with a smile, giving her a reassurance, and then looked at me again: "I just said
Where did you talk about it?"
Then I thought: "Details determine success or failure!"
"Yes, yes, details determine success or failure." Xiao Mu turned to Tu Youcheng again: "Do you know why they treat you as a detail?"
"Um...please give me some advice."
"Seek truth from facts, understand? You are obviously a businessman, why do you say you are a farmer? If you want to make up lies, you have to get deep into the character you are playing. Don't speak in layman's terms to make people suspicious.
Also, don’t be eager for quick success in anything you do. I asked you to find a place to settle down and wait for me, can’t you just wait? Why do you want to take the initiative to find out about me? Are you afraid that others won’t know that you have plans for me? "
…
Xiao Mu... I secretly laughed in my heart. This man's ability to lecture is really great. If he doesn't nag Tu Youcheng to his heart's content, he won't give up. I never expected that such an imperial envoy would come to our Xiangzhou City! According to Long Yu
Han's sigh was: I have never seen anyone who is an official like him!
"Remember, the people you have to deal with are agents of the enemy country, and they have all received professional training, so you must be cautious in everything you say and do!"
Xiao Mu said, and suddenly slapped me: "Li Jianghu, please listen to me, don't be self-righteous and make your own decisions! I chose you to be secret agents, but I don't want to affect your normal life. You should do what you should do every day."
Go, negotiate with each other if you have any problems, report it if you can't make up your mind, don't think about relying on your own team to make meritorious deeds, and don't alert the snake! Maybe if you don't get the news, it will end up costing your own life! Remember?"
"Yes." We all replied in unison.
"Okay, that's all for today. I'm here, which makes you a little nervous and you don't dare to eat. Tu Youcheng, you can go back tomorrow. I'll let you know when we gather. Oh, by the way.
, take this bag of tea to Master Wulian and tell him that if he comes to Xiangzhou, remember that someone wants to fight with him." Xiao Mu took out a bag of things from his cloth bag and handed it to Tu Youcheng, smiling at us.
Laughing, he closed the door and went out.
After a moment of silence, Aniang took the lead and patted her chest: "Jiang Hu, he is the Xiao Mu you have always mentioned? When did you, kid, become friends with the imperial envoy?"
"I...I didn't know he was an imperial envoy!" I spread my hands helplessly: "Have you ever seen an imperial envoy with such virtue?"
"Hahaha, I've only met the imperial envoy twice. I just thought he was well-dressed and casual in his conversation. I really didn't expect him to be like this." Fatty Wang was also a little dazed.
Wang Jiajia still covered her mouth with her hand and said worriedly: "He shouldn't be petty, right? I also said he is a dog and has a sharp nose! Is this considered a curse word?"
I smiled helplessly and said, "Didn't you say that I said it before? How can I blame you?"
Tu Youcheng lightly beat his head: "I haven't had a few drinks just now, haha, it feels like a dream."
"Hey, I really didn't expect...how could he be an imperial envoy? I've always felt that he was arrogant, and sometimes I even felt that there was something wrong with his brain.
You think, why did he make himself look like such a poor scholar? I really don’t know how he became a friend of King An back then? And he even got the top prize in high school?” I couldn’t help but vomit.
"Excuse me." There were several knocks on the door, and the door was pushed open a crack. Xiao Mu put in half of his head and smiled slightly: "I'm afraid that you still have questions and won't ask me in person, so I just
I’ll wait outside for a while. Haha, I’ll leave after answering your questions.
The reason why I look like this is because my father was also a scholar, but he died young without being named on the gold medal list. He dressed like this. He could also read "Book of Changes" and discussed Taoism with the imperial teacher Li Bi. So.
I simply took the exam as a fortune teller and fulfilled my late father's dream.
Well... I became Prince An's friend because on the day of Prince An's wedding, Princess An mysteriously disappeared. And I figured out in advance that Prince An's marriage was not going well, so Prince An thought I had some skills and allowed me to accompany him.
Let’s track down the whereabouts of the princess together. After going back and forth, with my sharp tongue, I soon became acquainted with Prince An and became a good friend.
The last question, why was he the top scorer in high school? The answer is simple: because of that exam, the saint of that year, who is now the Supreme Emperor, ordered King An to write the questions himself and invigilate the exam. Oh, I even helped King An to write a question at that time.
It’s a field test question. So and so...can I still fail the test?"
Xiao Mu said seriously, and then glanced at everyone: "After answering, do you have any questions? If not, I'm really leaving." This chapter has been completed!
