Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

In the private room, Brother Bai had been sitting here for a while, but the two people opposite him didn't intend to speak at all.

He didn't understand. Didn't these two people call him here?Why did he come, but the two people didn't speak.

Finally, just when he was about to take the initiative to ask the other party, the other party said: "Are you Brother Bai?"

The other party's opening scared Zhao Chengnan outside the door. Why is his aunt inside?He was so scared that he almost lost his footing and fell directly into the door.

Then Brother Bai's voice came from inside: "Yes, I am Brother Bai."

"Then do you know why the two of us called you here?" Mother Xiao said.

"I don't know." Brother Bai shook his head. In fact, he somewhat guessed the other party's intentions, but at this moment he couldn't say that he knew!

"Okay, I won't give you any more. The two of us are here to tell you to retreat. You and my family Zimo are not suitable." Mother Xiao said directly.

Wu Bai chuckled lightly, and said, "Madam Xiao, I don't know if Xiao Zimo knows about the two of you coming to see me today?"

Hearing Wu Bai's rhetorical question, Mrs. Xiao patted the table beside her a little angrily.

With a loud bang, the door opened from the outside, and a person rolled in.

It turned out that it was Mrs. Xiao who slapped the table hard, startled Zhao Chengnan who was leaning against the door and couldn't stand up straight.

Zhao Chengnan quickly got up from the ground, he smiled awkwardly at the three of them, and called out to the Xiao family couple, and then said: "Uncle and aunt, I was just passing by, haha, passing by, I didn't expect to be here What a coincidence to meet you."

Then he turned his head to Wu Bai and said, "Brother, I just happened to have something to look for you. I didn't expect to meet you here. The person you asked me to help investigate last time has news, but I will give you the information." I'm staying in the house, do you want to go and have a look with me?" Then he kept giving Wu Bai a look to signal the other party to sneak away with him.

"Wait, what did you call him just now?" Father Xiao asked again as if he didn't hear clearly.

Wu Bai: "..."

Zhao Chengnan: "...I didn't call you anything, it's called Brother Bai, right? Brother Bai, I really need you, so you can come and see with me first!" After speaking, he became worried. The Xiao family asked something again, and took Wu Bai out of the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhao Chengnan asked, "Brother, why did you meet my uncle and the others?"

"What about you? Didn't you leave the restaurant? Why are you back and eavesdropping on our conversation." Wu Bai looked at the other party narrowly.

Zhao Chengnan resentfully said: "I'm not worried about you. You are mysterious. If something happens to you, my cousin is the one who is worried. I have to take care of him."

Wu Bai didn't argue with him, instead he asked: "You just said that you found out who the person from the Imperial Academy was, is that true?"

"of course it's true."

"Okay, let's go to your house now." Wu Bai suggested.

"You don't need to go to my house. I was making an excuse just now. In fact, I have already written down that person's information." Zhao Chengnan replied.

"Then tell me quickly."

"The other party's name is Ji Wen. He is 20 years old this year. He is a reviewer of the Imperial Academy. From a seventh-rank official, there is really only one old lady in the family. His family background is clean and easy to handle." Zhao Chengnan said.

"Then do you know where his family lives now?"

"I know, I live on Changning Street. That street is full of people like him who have relatively low official positions and no other income except salary, because the housing prices there are moderate, and the main street next to it is the gate of the patrol department. The location is fairly peaceful." Zhao Chengnan introduced one by one.

The two of them were walking and talking, all their attention was on Ji Wen, so they didn't notice the venomous gaze from a carriage slowly passing by them.

"Brother, do you want to visit Ji Wen's house?" Zhao Chengnan asked.

Wu Bai thought for a while, shook his head, and then said to Zhao Chengnan: "I won't go, you can find someone to remind Ji Wen that it is best not to get married within this year, that's all."

Although Zhao Chengnan didn't understand why Wu Bai asked him to do this, but thinking that he would have nothing to do anyway, he walked towards Yongning Street, wanting to remind Ji Wen himself.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

Ji Wen inside the door heard someone knocking on the door, he walked over to open the door, and found a young man he didn't know standing outside the door, so he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Ji Wen."

"I am."

"That's right, someone asked me to tell you something."

"What?"

"It's best not to get married within this year." As soon as Zhao Chengnan finished speaking, Ji Wen slammed the door shut.

Zhao Chengnan touched his nose that was almost bumped, a little confused, he just reminded the other party not to get married within this year, why so angry?

Little did he know that Ji Wen in the door was furious. His family was not well off, and his parents were sick. Even if he became an official now, the salary from the Imperial Academy was only enough to support the whole family plus his parents. Grabbing the medicine, how can there be any money left to get married, even the matchmaker is unwilling to introduce him when she hears about his family's situation, otherwise he will not be married until he is 20 years old.

So in the face of Zhao Chengnan's reminder, he only felt it was a kind of irony. If Zhao Chengnan's clothes were not expensive and his status was not simple, he would have wanted to beat him up and vent his anger.

Zhao Chengnan, who was outside the door, saw that the other party didn't take what he said seriously at all, and let him be shut down. He was a little helpless, but with the thought that if he asked him to do something, he must succeed, he returned After entering the mansion, he sent his subordinates to watch Ji Wen's every move, and asked them to report to him in time.

So his subordinates began to pay attention to Ji Wen, and reported to him Ji Wen's actions on time every day, what he did today, and what he would do tomorrow. After a long time, Zhao Chengnan discovered that Ji Wen was actually a capable The people who were born were just buried and not reused.

A few years later, when Zhao Chengnan became the emperor, he dealt with a large number of officials, and many positions were vacated. He found that there was a position that was particularly suitable for Ji Wen, so he transferred Ji Wen to that position.

At that time, Ji Wen, after receiving the imperial decree, accidentally looked up when he entered the palace to thank him, and he was so shocked that he was dizzy. Of course, this is all for later.

Time flies, Wu Bai and the others have been in the capital for a month and a half, and there is only half a month left before Wu Kang'an will participate in Qiuwei.

But this time they didn't panic, because Xiao Zimo had already asked Wu Kang'an to give Wu Kang'an advice from the retired tutor of the student supervisor.

From Wu Kang'an's own point of view, he definitely doesn't want to accept Xiao Zimo's flattery, but when he thinks that it will be difficult to be selected in this autumn with only his own efforts, the gap between the Wu family and the Xiao family will be huge. The bigger the pull, if Xiao Zimo bullies Wu Bai in the future, he will be even more powerless, so he still accepts Xiao Zimo's favor.

Because of this, these days when Wu Bai went out with Xiao Zimo, he couldn't say anything against it.

On this day, Wu Bai received another letter, which invited him to a private room of a certain restaurant, and told him something important.

Wu Bai thought it was another letter from the Xiao family and his wife, thinking that it was not a problem for him to avoid the other party all the time, so he went out to the restaurant and entered the private room mentioned in the letter.

But this time maybe he came earlier, and the Xiao family didn't arrive. He sat on the stool and waited for a while, feeling a little thirsty. Fortunately, there was a pot of tea on the table, so he poured himself a cup , Just as he was about to drink it, Xiao Zimo came in.

"Brother Bai, are you okay?" Xiao Zimo asked as soon as he came in.

He went to the small courtyard of the inn today, and was about to find Brother Bai, when he heard Wu Kangan say that Brother Bai had gone out, he asked Wu Kangan for the address of the restaurant, and hurried over because his parents had asked Wu Bai to come to the restaurant He also heard from Zhao Chengnan about the matter, so this time he was worried that his parents would continue to find trouble for Brother Bai, so he rushed over in a hurry.

He glanced around and didn't see his parents, so he felt a little strange, so he asked, "Why are you alone, where are my parents?"

"I don't know, I waited here for a long time, but no one came. No, I'm a little thirsty, and I was about to drink tea, and you came." Wu Bai raised the teacup in his hand.

Xiao Zimo grew up in various calculations since he was a child, so he easily noticed that something was different. He took the teacup in Wu Bai's hand, lowered his head and sniffed it, and said coldly, "This tea doesn't taste right. Lost and lost."

"What?" Wu Bai looked scared.

"I didn't expect my husband and wife to go too far and use such despicable methods against you." Xiao Zimo said angrily.

"Uh...Actually, they may not necessarily be the ones who did it. The letter I received this time was not signed. It was just because of the previous incident, so I guessed it was them." Wu Bai persuaded.

"Wait, I seem to hear footsteps coming towards us, how about this, you hide behind the screen first, I pretend to drink this thing and faint, let's see who wants to shoot me. " Wu Bai arranged.

"Yeah." Xiao Zimo stepped back behind the screen. The screen was made of a dark cloth, which was somewhat similar to the color of Xiao Zimo's clothes. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't see that there was someone hiding behind it.

Seeing that Xiao Zimo had hidden it, Wu Bai also pretended to overturn the teacup on the table, then patted his face twice to make it look red, and then fainted by the table.

At this time, the footsteps at the door also stopped.

The other party stopped at the door for a while, but didn't hear any movement in the house, then quietly opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Wu Bai who was flushed and fainted by the table, he laughed with satisfaction.
