Fu Han General's Mansion, in the backyard.
Not to mention that Gongsun Sang couldn't see Wu Nian, no one in the backyard except Wang Ruyan could see Wu Nian.
Wang Ruyan announced to the public that Wu Nian was infected with a serious disease and might infect people who met him, causing harm to the second generation such as Wu Min and Wu Yu.
So no one can see Wu Nian. Even if Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao and other three senior officials came in, they could only talk to Wang Ruyan through the door, and then Wang Ruyan would convey it to Wu Nian.
The maids, domestic slaves, and guards in the backyard were all banned. No one was allowed to spread the news, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.
Wu Nian's bedroom, inside the outer room. The weather is still cold now. Wu Nian is wearing a winter coat, sitting on a stool and reading the military book next to the table. Wang Ruyan was waiting beside him.
"Master. Is it worth it to do this?" Wang Ruyan picked up the teapot, bent down and poured a glass of water, handed it to Wu Nian, and asked with a sigh.
"If you don't do it more seriously, how can old foxes like Wang Zhongbi and Chunyuan believe it? Only if I am seriously ill or dead will they dare to lead their troops to attack me. This is also a duel. Patience is required."
Wu Nian sighed, shook his head and said.
"How is Xiang'er? I'm worried about her." Immediately, Wu Nian's face showed worry again. It’s not just Liu Xiang either.
He was worried about Wu, Chen and Xiaohong.
But as things stand, the overall situation comes first. If we attack Nanhai Mansion, many people will die. Liu Xiang, Chen Shi, and Xiao Hong's acting skills are all too poor. If they know about it, they may be exposed.
"Don't worry, sir. Madam is very strong. The soup that I "drink" every day is cooked by madam herself." Wang Ruyan shook his head gently, with a look of admiration on his face.
Although Liu Xiang looks very gentle on weekdays, she is very strong at critical moments. Maybe it's also because I'm a mother. Being a mother makes me strong.
"It's really hard on her, and it's hard on you too. Follow me as a butcher. When I go on an expedition, you are all worried, right?"
Wu Nian felt a little relieved, but still worried. He put down the book in his hand, reached out and grabbed Wang Ruyan's little hand, and said softly.
"My words are serious. Although we are worried, we are also very happy. We all like the butcher." Wang Ruyan held Wu Nian's hand with his backhand and stroked it carefully. These rough hands holding weapons made her feel very distressed.
Her man has endured too much.
Fighting in the south and north, he single-handedly established the foundation of these two mansions. He is the banner, he is the steel, he is the backbone of everyone, he cannot fail.
When he fell, General Fuhan's mansion collapsed.
"Madam." A maid's voice sounded outside the closed door. Wang Ruyan let go of Wu Nian's hand, came to the door, and talked to the maid through the door.
Soon, she came back and told Wu Nian about Gongsun Sang in a low voice, "Master. Gongsun Sang..."
"Gongsun Sang is a capable man, but he is too young and very restless. Therefore, the fewer people know about this matter, the better."
Wu Nian's eyes flashed and he nodded gently.
After talking to Wang Ruyan for a while, Wu Nian began to exercise with his bare hands. Push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups and more.
Although Wu Nian didn't have any equipment at hand, he could still maintain his physical strength by relying on these trainings, and even go further.
during this time. Wu Nian is like a prisoner in a cell, hiding his minions, waiting for the opportunity to make a big move.
It's hard work, but worth it.
Everything is to make it easier to capture Nanhai Mansion.
.............
Chen Jiagui's spies are very powerful and are spread throughout the Liaodong region. It is difficult for them to detect secrets, but they are very reliable in detecting signs and dispatching troops.
on the contrary. Wang Zhongbi, Chun Yuan and even the Goguryeo people also had spies and spies in Yingqing Prefecture and Guangchuan Prefecture.
In the south of Jiang County, there is a house in a room.
Two men sit cross-legged across from each other. He is in his early thirties and has an ordinary appearance. He is the type that others would not give him a second glance if he is placed among the crowd.
His name is Li Hui, and he is a carpenter on the surface. He does not set up a stall or sell, but only does custom work. That is, when someone comes to the door and asks him to build something, he will start working and live in seclusion.
Secretly, his spy Wang Zhongbi is the intelligence chief of Jiang County.
Opposite him was a man in his early forties named Li Shugen. On the surface, he is a businessman selling wood, an ordinary craftsman.
"Sir, the maids, domestic slaves, and guards in the backyard of General Fu Han's Mansion are very tight-lipped, and nothing can be heard from their mouths. But I have a question."
"If Wu Nian is dead, there is no need to say more. People like Liu Zhixing keep secrets. But if Wu Nian is sick, he must take medicine. We can start with the dregs of the medicine. I have investigated for a long time, but there is no Traces of the medicine residue were found. But every day at noon, someone sent the feces and urine produced in the Fuhan General's Mansion outside the city. Maybe the medicine residue was among them."
Li Shugen said in a deep voice.
Li Hui's eyes lit up and he nodded and said: "What a good idea. Go and investigate immediately. If we can get the medicine residue, we can not only determine Wu Nian's life or death, but also determine the extent of Wu Nian's illness."
"Yes." Li Shugen nodded in agreement. Not long after, Li Shugen left the house and left the city.
Noon. He followed the convoy transporting excrement and urine from General Fuhan's mansion and arrived at a village. Feces and urine are good things and can fertilize fields.
It is normal for people to transport their feces and urine from the city to the manor outside the city.
After Li Shugen found out the location, he left. Wait until night, when the night is quiet. Li Shugen lurked into the manor, searched everywhere, and finally dug up medicinal residue in a corner of the manor.
"Wu Nian is still alive, but he is really sick." Li Shugen, who was wearing night clothes, was ecstatic when he dug out the medicine residue.
This information is important information. The general must be heavily rewarded. He also couldn't identify what disease these medicinal residues were used to treat. So he dug out a lot, filled it back with soil, and then quietly left the manor.
Not long after Li Shugen left, another night traveler quietly entered the manor and also dug up the medicine residue.
Wu Nian was "sick" and had to take medicine once a day. There are a lot of medicinal residues here. Although a lot of them have been dug up by the plum tree roots, there is still a lot left.
The night traveler took out a black cloth, followed the same method, took away a lot of medicine residue, and left the manor.
This night traveler is the work of Meng Yuan.
The Meng Yuan and Goguryeo people reached a tacit understanding.
From today on, it is no longer a secret that Wu Nian is ill.
