[Sword III] Life skills take you to fly

At this time, the moonlight was dim, and the sparse guards were leaning against the wall, all drowsy.Two thin figures in uniforms of officers and soldiers shuttled through the government office, and one of them ignored it without paying attention.Xinglou had been to the Maoxian government office before, and even after several years, he still vaguely remembered the layout of the rooms.

Let the Great Sage open the way ahead, and the two sneaked to the place where the documents were placed.Originally, the lock was still outside the house, but Tan Yuan blurred his eyes and saw that the lock disappeared in Xinglou's hands.I wanted to ask something but it was true that the environment was not suitable, so I pressed it to the bottom of my heart and followed Xinglou into the house.

About [-] to [-] square meters, rows of shelves are filled with relevant documents piled up in the past few years. "How... how do we find this?" Qin Yuan was a little dumbfounded, and he roughly knew what Xinglou brought him here to find, but there were too many documents in this room, and some didn't know what to do.

Xinglou closed the door carefully, and looked outside the door for a long time, making sure no one noticed before looking at the situation inside the house.This was one of the few places he analyzed that it was possible to find clues. If there was no place for the county government to collect documents, the only way to go was to go to the county magistrate's study.I have never been to the star building there, and I don't know the exact location, so the difficulty is even greater.

"Let's start by the wall, mainly to see if there are hidden tunnels and so on." Important things will definitely not be placed outside in order to prevent people from accidentally discovering them beforehand, so they may be hidden in some unsightly places. well-known corner.

The two started to move, and the Great Sage followed to help, and his small stature made it easy for him to walk back and forth between the shelves.The room was a bit dark, and after searching for about a quarter of an hour, Tan Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "There's something behind here!"

Xinglou hurried over to take a look. It was a landscape painting hanging on the wall. After being lifted up, the color of the wall was a bit wrong. Tan Yuan pushed it hard, and a hidden compartment appeared, in which there was a small box hidden.

The two opened the box, and there was a small scroll inside.Unfolding the scroll in front of the moonlight and carefully identifying it turned out to be a map of the distribution of troops at the frontier.

"This... This is Mao County!" On the map, a circle of red marks was drawn around Mao County. Tan Yuan also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't know what this thing was planning to do here.

Xinglou looked at the box over and over, and tapped on the bottom to hear the sound, and sure enough there was something tricky about it.Ever since he suffered from the problem of boxes, Xinglou has to be more careful about this kind of things.Open the mezzanine, inside is another letter, exactly the same as the one found on the little eunuch next to Min Xi.

The difference is that the previous letter imitated Jing Yuan's handwriting, and the content was addressed to the Prince Regent of Xiliang.This is a letter from Xiliang to Jing Yuan. The letter said that they have learned the distribution map of troops sent by Jing Yuan, and now they have returned a picture of the place they marked and planned to send troops to attack. Let Jing Yuan Prepare early.

"This gang of scum." Xinglou trembled with anger holding the letter. After several years of deadly battles, so many soldiers died in border battles, but these people were thinking about how to hold back in the rear.Fortunately, Jing Yuan did not have an address in Mao County, otherwise the box would not have appeared in the county government, but Jing Yuan's residence.

Xinglou connected the events before and after. Jing Yuan and Ning Chi should know that someone from Dayong was making a deal with Xiliang and wanted to hold them back, so they planned to make a trick to make Xiliang suffer a big loss. .It's just that the people behind the scenes have also made two-handed preparations, and this deal is still in the name of Jing Yuan.Dayong's tactics were known by Xiliang, and the chances of winning were very small, and the coach would inevitably be punished if he lost the battle.Even if he wins, Jing Yuan will not be able to escape a collaborator and traitor if he presents the 'evidence' at that time.

"We have to go back to the front line and tell Commander Ning." Qin Yuan followed Ning Chi's orders and went back and forth to Linshan Pass to hand over the medicinal materials. Ning Chi was the first thing he thought of when he heard the important news.

"No, the information in this letter is absolutely false." After finding the clue, it is not as urgent as before. "Leave here first." The two officers and soldiers who were knocked down didn't know their physical fitness, but they were planning for the worst. They might have woken up by this time and reported their information.Xinglou restored the traces of rummaging, put the box back, and only put the scroll and letter into the backpack.

Qin Yuan was a little puzzled why Xinglou said that the news was false and there was no need to worry, but he held back and didn't ask further, knowing that this county government should not stay for a long time, let's talk about it after going out.Xinglou also rented a small single room in Mao County. In the past, I sometimes took a vacation in the Ninth Army Battalion, and there was a place to stay when I came to the county. The price was cheap and I continued to rent it.

After not living in the house for a long time, there was some dust in the house. Xinglou and Tan Yuan cleaned up the house while explaining to him, "Now Xiliang is mostly anxious about Yizhou being attacked, so there is no time to launch a surprise attack around Maoxian County. It doesn't matter what kind of thing it is." With so many troops, the second way is three checkpoints. If there is such a big movement, it is impossible for Da Yong to know nothing about it. Besides, it is not good for them to take down Mao County, which is far away from their sphere of influence. It's troublesome." What Xinglou didn't say was that Xiliang was preparing [-] soldiers to eat up the troops who attacked Yizhou, so how could they still have the time to send troops to Mao County.

"Hey, it makes sense to hear what you said." Tan Yuan felt relieved. Since Xinglou said so, he was very sure. An officer and a soldier will definitely be hunted down." Making rumors is indeed a big killer. People like Tan Yuan can't tell the difference when they hear it at first. .

"The county is so big, it will take several days to search and arrest the whole city from house to house. By then, the matter will be over long ago. At most, we will set up more checkpoints at the gate of the city. You stay here for a few days, and we will wait and see what happens." Xinglou naturally wanted to go out and wait and see the situation again. Although he found a piece of 'evidence', he was not sure that there would be other moths.

The two lay down with deep thoughts in their clothes. They were busy from early in the morning until midnight without a break. They were also extremely tired and fell asleep after a while.

On the second day, Tan Yuan and Dasheng were asked to stay in the house, and Xinglou kept some food and went out alone.Being able to go out and wander around without knowing how many people are chasing them outside, Xinglou naturally has something to rely on.Every account in the game is created with two faces, and the trumpet of Xinglou is no exception.One is carefully pinched by myself, and the other is the system default.

For so many years, Xinglou has never felt that this function is useful, but its existence is reasonable, and there will always be opportunities to use it, so this is it.Putting on a new face, the default face of the system has blurred facial features, making people forget it at first sight, and it is suitable for going out to inquire about news.Xinglou changed his clothes again, even if the officers and soldiers who escorted him last night stood in front of him, he would not recognize him.

In the past few years, Xinglou stayed in the barracks most of the time, and there was no familiar person in the county.There was only one pharmacy shopkeeper who knew a little about his personality because he had some contact with selling medicines, so he went to the pharmacy to check the situation first.

When I arrived at the place, I didn't expect it to be in chaos. The shopkeeper looked at the officers and soldiers arresting the doctor with a bitter face, and Xinglou went up to ask: "Shopkeeper, I don't know what happened. Where are you taking the doctor?" go?"

The shopkeeper saw that he was a faceless customer. He thought he was going to see a doctor or get medicine. He didn't expect the pharmacy to be so chaotic and asked about the situation, and he didn't suspect, "I heard that some distinguished guest from the county magistrate's house was injured, and he is looking for doctors from all over the city to treat him." Well. Hey, other pharmacies and medical centers are probably in the same state, and they don’t allow people to do business properly.” Although he complained in his mouth, the shopkeeper didn’t have the momentum to challenge the officers and soldiers, and only said a few words in private.

Thinking that this was an opportunity, Xinglou wrote a note with a pen and paper at the counter, and asked the pharmacy clerk to deliver it to Tan Yuan after spending copper money, while he himself was the officer and soldier who went to find the "invite" person.

"This little brother, I am also a doctor, can you take me to treat the nobleman?"

The officers and soldiers thought that anyway, the order was to bring all the doctors, and this one was neither too many nor too few, so they simply brought them along.Xinglou got his wish, and he didn't shy away from others looking at him like a fool.

An old doctor beside him still couldn't figure it out, "This..."

"My surname is Yuan." Xinglou hurriedly replied with a smile.

"Doctor Yuan, why did you come here?" The old doctor saw clearly from the sidelines that the officers and soldiers didn't find him, but he recommended himself to come.

"Isn't this treating the nobles? Rewarding silver is indispensable." Of course, the star building is not for this. Since the government can find clues, the county magistrate's family must have other tricks.This county magistrate's house is much more difficult to enter than the official office, and the official office does not leave any money. Whoever wants to steal a pile of broken documents, usually only a few officers and soldiers are sent to guard the office at night.The county magistrate's house is different. Everyone knows that it is the richest place in Mao County. It is surrounded by some guards and servants. They patrol constantly at night, and it is not easy to investigate.

Looking at this stupid boy with a stunned head, the old doctor will also be amused, "These nobles, if they don't manage the land well, they will be punished." You must show your attitude to the nobles. You must know that the county magistrate will not make such a big fuss if he is sick. Suffered.It can be seen that this noble man is extremely difficult to deal with. If he has a minor illness, he would not seek so many doctors. The old doctor is also prepared in his heart to be punished.

"Thank you for reminding me, old doctor. I will play it by ear." Xinglou was also very grateful for the reminder from a stranger, but if there is a little possibility, he should go for a walk to rest assured. It's too late to regret.

Seeing that the old man had a solid idea in his mind, the old doctor stopped talking. The group arrived at the county magistrate's house, and finally saw the noble man and what disease he had.Looking at the frozen half of the stump, no one had a good-looking face.This man's legs were all broken from the knee down, the blood was stopped first and there was no danger to his life, but the county magistrate asked for the legs to be reattached, how can this be treated?

Xinglou felt that it was unexpected and reasonable, the man with the broken leg was the military supervisor Min Xi.Xinglou once thought that Min Xi's next move after Jingyuan was trapped would most likely be to order the army to retreat to the rear, but with Ning Chi around and no communication with the enemy, Min Xi couldn't command, so he had to go back. Mao County.

Now that he really appeared here, he had become a disabled person.Even the doctor was helpless with this kind of request, and the county magistrate also knew that this was trying to make things difficult for others, but he had to show Min Xi his attitude.Asking the doctor to come forward to rectify them one by one, Xinglou showed a look of embarrassment, even if the person who could be cured was Min Xi, he said there was no other way.

I don't know who did it, but the leg was broken quite accurately, achieving the effect that it was neither life-threatening nor painful.Fortunately, the county magistrate didn't humiliate the doctors too much. He was reprimanded in front of Min Xi, but in private he asked the housekeeper to take the doctor to have a meal before leaving.

Min Xi was crying, and the county magistrate's servants were also in a hurry.Xinglou sneaked out of the large army while others were not paying attention.
