Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 312 The county magistrate's husband

Wu Bai stayed on the roof of the princess for an hour, and had no other gains for the time being. He watched the sky gradually getting dark, thought for a while, and left from the roof.

After returning to the county office, Mother Wu greeted her and said, "Where have you been? Dinner is about to start."

"The boy looked around, isn't he thinking about the moon cakes made by his mother, so he came back in time!" Wu Bai replied with a smile.

"You! You will be talkative!" Mother Wu couldn't hide her smile and said.

Then, the mother and son came to the garden, and Father Wu and Fang Huayuan were waiting for them in the pavilion.

Before stepping into the pavilion, Wu Bai smelled a burst of fragrance. He took a closer look and saw that the stone tables in the pavilion were filled with all kinds of delicious wine, food and moon cakes.

Father Wu smiled and said to them: "You guys are here, sit down quickly!"

Fang Huayuan stood up, stepped aside, and said, "My lord, sit here!"

Wu Bai waved his hands and said, "Today is a family banquet, so you don't need to be so formal, just sit down!" After saying this, Wu Bai casually sat down next to a stone stool.

Several people chatted and watched the moon while eating and drinking. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and they dispersed very late.

In the palace at the same time, the young emperor looked at the vacant seat and asked, "Why didn't Yueke come?"

The eunuch behind him replied: "The people in the princess palace just sent someone to report that the princess is sick and cannot come to the palace banquet."

"Ill? Can you ask the imperial physician to come over and treat you?" the emperor asked.

"It is said that I invited Doctor Li to come over for diagnosis and treatment. There is nothing serious, but I just caught a cold and I can't blow the cold wind." The eunuch replied.

"You send the ginseng I just got to the princess." The emperor ordered.

"Yes, my servant obeys." The eunuch stepped back quickly.

In the Inn in Yishi County, Xiao Yueke read the note in her hand, and lit it in a candle. After the note was burned, she slowly said: "This time, I want to treat my own Life is the master, no one can easily deprive me of my life!"

The next day, Wu Bai approached Fang Huayuan and said, "Master Fang, I need you to do something!"

Fang Huayuan cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please give me instructions."

"I want you to help me keep an eye on a person... She is currently living in Rugui Inn in Xicheng." Wu Bai narrated.

"Yes, I'll do it now!" Fang Huayuan led the two yamen servants away from the county yamen without saying a word.

After arranging for someone to watch over the princess, Wu Bai came to Houya's study and began to study the geomancy map of Yishi County.

He suddenly discovered that Yishi County is a very important city besides the border city. If the enemy wants to invade the Shun Kingdom, besides taking down the border city, they also have to attack Yishi County. However, the border city has been stable for so many years. Standing there, the enemy has no chance to get close to Yishi County. In addition, Yishi County has a small population, so it doesn't seem so important.

Thinking of the border town, Wu Bai thought of the old general Qin who is guarding the border town now. The other party has been in the army all his life, and he can be regarded as Shun's general who guarded the country. His original memory didn't have much memory about this old general, so Wu Bai didn't know. Whether the other party happened in the border town two years later.

Old General Qin has guarded the border town for decades, and never let Dayang's army break through the border town, but in Yuan's memory, Dayang's army broke through the border town's defense line and came to Yishi County two years later, all this seemed a bit strange.

Suddenly, Wu Bai remembered the princess in the inn. For some reason, he always felt that this matter had something to do with her.

Two days later, Fang Huayuan came to the back office in a hurry, and said to Wu Bai: "My lord, the lady you asked me to watch just left the inn in a carriage. I followed her for a while and found that she seemed to be planning to go out of the city." .”

"Out of the city? Which city gate did she go through?" Wu Bai asked.

"Xicheng." Fang Huayuan replied, "My lord, please don't worry, I let the other two yamen guards watch her!"

Wu Bai put down the map in his hand and hurriedly said, "Get your horse ready!"

"Yes." Fang Huayuan hurried out to make arrangements.

Wu Bai went back to the backyard and changed his official robes into plain clothes. Then he walked out of the county office. Fang Huayuan was waiting for him with two horses.

The two rode horses and headed towards the west city quickly. After leaving the city, the speed of the two gradually slowed down. Fortunately, the two yamen servants left a mark for them, and they followed the mark to the bottom of a barren mountain.

The barren hill was overgrown with grass and trees, and it was inconvenient to ride a horse. The two found a hidden place to hide the horse, and then went up the mountain following the mark left by the yamen servant.

In a small wooden hut on the mountain, Xiao Yueke looked at the young man in front of him and said, "I didn't expect that it was you who came here. As Dayang's prince, you dared to enter my Dashun's territory without authorization, so you won't be afraid of disappearing." life?"

Hearing this, Mu Haoyan laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the person I would cooperate with would be Her Royal Highness Princess Dashun. You, a weak woman, dare to come to meet me alone. How could I be compared by the princess?" go down."

When Mu Hao said that she was a weak woman, Xiao Yue frowned in dissatisfaction. She came back from rebirth to control her own destiny. She would not listen to others saying that she was weak. This would remind her of her incompetence in her previous life.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you still want to talk about this cooperation?" Xiao Yueke said angrily.

"Of course I want to discuss cooperation with the princess, but the princess is not so sincere!" Mu Haoyan looked out the window.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yue asked puzzledly.

Seeing Xiao Yueke's expression full of doubts, Mu Haoyan instantly understood that the people following outside were not Xiao Yueke's subordinates.

"Your Highness, the princess, is really careless. You actually let two mice follow you." Mu Haoyan reminded, pointing to the outside.

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yueke's face changed drastically, and she looked outside the door in panic.

"Since Her Royal Highness didn't mean to play tricks on me, then I will help you." Mu Haoyan put his arms around Xiao Yueke's waist, jumped lightly, and brought her to sit on the beam.

Xiao Yueke looked at the opponent's hand and wanted to push it away, but seeing such a high beam, she dared not let go.

Two yamen servants quietly walked to the window, stopped to listen for a while, and found that there was no sound inside, they slowly opened the window and looked in, but they didn't see the two people on the beam, so they pushed away boldly The door went in.

The two walked to the table, tried some tea on the table, and found that it was still warm.

One of the yamen servants said: "That lady doesn't know where she came from, but she ran to drink tea in the wilderness."

"My lord told us to keep an eye on the other party. I don't know where the other party has gone. Let's look for it quickly." Another yamen servant said.

Xiao Yueke on the beam heard the conversation between the two, and knew that they were sent by Wu Bai to watch her, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Mu Haoyan was right next to Xiao Yueke, so he naturally didn't miss the hatred in her eyes. Suddenly, he was a little curious about the story of this princess.

The two yamen servants quickly searched the wooden house, and they sat down at the table in exhaustion, and began to drink tea.

Seeing this, Mu Haoyan took out an ingot of silver from his waist and quickly threw it out the window.

"Ding—" A crisp voice sounded outside the window, and the two government servants hurriedly put down their teacups and ran outside.

Mu Haoyan raised a finger to his mouth, motioned to Xiao Yueke to silence, then jumped off the beam with Xiao Yueke in his arms, and quietly left the wooden house while the two yamen servants were not paying attention.

"You run so fast!" The two yamen servants looked out of the empty window.

"Huh? Why is there a silver ingot here!" A yamen servant picked up the silver in surprise.

Another yamen servant said with jealousy: "Whoever sees it has a share, you can't take it all by yourself!"

"What are you doing here?" Wu Bai's voice suddenly sounded behind them.

The two yamen servants hurriedly turned around and said to Wu Bai, "My lord, why are you here?"

"Where is the person you are staring at? Where did he go?" Wu Bai asked.

"We watched her walk into this room, but when we approached, she disappeared out of thin air. We searched the whole wooden house, but we still didn't find her." The yamen servant replied.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Wu Bai asked.

The two yamen servants looked at me and I looked at you, and finally handed over the silver taels.

Wu Bai took the silver tael and inspected it carefully. He found a small "Yang" character engraved on the bottom of the silver ingot, which is the silver tael commonly used by people in Dayang.

Immediately, Wu Bai hurriedly pushed the wooden house away to check carefully. He inadvertently raised his head to look at the beam, and found that there seemed to be a silk handkerchief hanging there.

The two yamen servants followed and looked up, at this time they also found the silk handkerchief.

Fang Huayuan said, "Take that thing off quickly."

"Yes." Two yamen servants moved across the table, reached their bodies, and carefully took off the silk handkerchief.

"Did you search the beams just now?" Wu Bai asked.

The two yamen servants immediately lowered their heads and remained silent. Seeing this, Wu Bai knew that they hadn't checked the beams.

Wu Bai asked: "After you followed up, did you find anything else?"

"We didn't dare to get too close at that time, we only vaguely heard that young lady talking to someone, but we didn't understand what they were saying." The yamen servant replied.

"Talk to someone? Is it a man or a woman?" Wu Bai asked carefully.

"It sounds like a young man's voice," said the yamen servant.

Seeing Wu Bai's serious expression, Fang Huayuan stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's go back first!" Wu Bai said shaking his head.

"Yes."

When everyone returned to the county seat again, Wu Bai said to the two yamen servants: "You change your clothes and continue to stare at that inn. She should come back."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." The two yamen servants clasped their hands and said.
