The whole pot of mutton was eaten clean by Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er like a wind and cloud. Even the bit of mutton soup in the pot was drunk by Wu Qiu'er holding the pot.
After eating and gaining strength, Wu Qiu'er smiled naively at Shao Xi, and touched his bald head without even wiping off his oily hands.
He said angrily to Shao Xi: "Master, I went to the backyard to practice. When I have mastered the hammering and body skills, don't forget that you promised to teach me powerful skills?"
Although Wu Qiu'er looks tall and fierce, there is actually a child living in his heart. Shao Xi couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the way he stared at the roast chicken in front of him just now.
It was obvious that he was very hungry, and it was obvious that Old Wu couldn't steal it from him, but he still just looked at the roast chicken on the table.
Wu Qiu'er is born with a wide stomach and a large appetite. The biggest fear when he grows up is starvation. When he brought him out of Nanzhao, he promised him that he would be full and satisfied with every meal. He was well fed, but he had just left Nanzhao and was left hungry for a long time. As a master, he was indeed not doing very well.
He always said that he should take good care of the people around him, but now he didn't take care of Wu Qiu'er's meal, which really slapped himself in the face.
Shao Xi raised his hand and patted Wu Qiu'er's arm, and said to Wu Qiu'er with some shame: "It's all Master's fault. Master made you starve! Master promises you that such a thing will never happen again in the future. , don’t blame Master this time.”
However, Wu Qiu'er touched his bald head, giggled, and said to Shao Xi: "Wu Qiu'er doesn't blame Master. Master has serious things to do. He can't always look after Wu Qiu'er. Wu Qiu'er will learn from him." Take care of yourself and don’t let Master worry about you anymore.”
Wu Qiu'er's words almost made Shao Xi burst into tears. The big kid in front of him was willing to give his life to him, but now he still lets them learn to take care of him?
Shao Xi felt like an asshole at this moment. He came back from a meal outside alone, only to starve his master and apprentice like this!
Is this a meal problem? This is a matter of responsibility. Your own negligence is irresponsible.
He told himself that such a thing would never happen again, and even if he was hungry, he could not let those around him starve again.
"Good apprentice, you are so sensible! Master is true to his word this time and promises that he will not let you go hungry again in the future. You go and practice! Master will definitely do what he promised you, and he will definitely teach you the powerful skills."
Wu Qiu'er nodded again naively, and went to the backyard of the inn to practice with the big iron ball in his arms. When he went out, his head hit the door frame again, which made Shao Xi amused again. This kid never has a memory!
After watching Wu Qiu'er leave the room, Shao Xi turned to look at Lao Wu and was shocked.
I saw that the old guy's originally dry belly was now stretched out like a grasshopper. He was leaning on the chair and kept humming. He didn't forget to put the wine in the wine jar into his mouth. Falling down.
Shao Xixin said that you have only been hungry for a day, why do you look like you have been hungry for a lifetime? Could it be that he was reincarnated as a starving ghost?
Lao Wu was now full and ready to drink. He was groaning and groaning. He didn't know whether it was because he felt uncomfortable because of the mutton, or because the jar of good wine made him feel better.
Shao Xi walked over and kicked him. The old guy still grunted, and the energy he used to scold Shao Xi completely disappeared.
"Old guy, don't pretend to be dead! I have something serious to ask you, about Fengjiazhuang."
When Old Wu heard that Shao Xi was going to ask him about Fengjiazhuang, he seemed to wake up in an instant. He put the wine jar on the table and sat up straight, staring at Shao Xi as if He felt that the topic Shao Xi was going to talk about next might be very important and serious.
Old Wu is lazy about everything, but as long as Fengjiazhuang is mentioned, he will wake up immediately even if he is drunk. This is his loyalty and responsibility to the Fengjia.
"You brat, did you find out anything the day you ran out? Why did you suddenly mention Fengjiazhuang to me again? If you hadn't made any new discoveries, you wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to me about this matter. .Tell me! What did you hear again?"
Although Shao Xi was not surprised by Lao Wu's reaction, he was still startled by his nervous performance, so he gave him a hard look.
"Looking at the way you looked just now, I thought you were going to die! Why are you so alive and kicking now? You still haven't changed your stubbornness after so many years. It's disrespectful to be old to pretend to be dead when you've had enough to eat and drink."
Hearing what Shao Xi said, Old Wu was unhappy again. He glared at his two yellow eyes and retorted: "Who can say that you are disrespectful to your elders? Do you know how to respect your elders? What does it mean to pretend to be dead? Lie down after you have eaten and drank enough. Of course you have to enjoy the feeling of having enough food and wine there for a while, you know what the hell! If you have something to say, hurry up and say it, if nothing happens, don't bother me."
Shao Xi snorted at Lao Wu and asked casually: "Have you ever heard of You Yi'an, the 'Wind-Destroying Sword'? Since my father had been investigating Xiao Yuzhi back then, then this person must also be investigating secretly. Among them, right? So don’t tell me you don’t know him.”
"Who? You Yi'an?"
"Yes! You Yi'an."
When Lao Wu heard the name, he jumped up from the chair as if there were springs under his butt.
"Where did you hear this name? What did you find out? Where is this bastard? If you know, tell me now."
Shao Xi took a look, ouch! It seems that he was right. This You Yi'an is indeed not a simple person. You must know that Old Wu was a secret agent of the "Jingcheng Division" back then. What kind of person has he not seen? To be able to make Lao Wu so excited, it seems that this guy still has some weight.
But Lao Wu seems to have some trouble with this guy. Why is he so excited when he hears this name? Could it be that he robbed Lao Wu's woman back then?
"Why are you so excited? First, tell me how much you know about this guy? What did this guy do back then? Why are you so excited when you hear his name? Do you have any grudges with him?"
Although Old Wu was gritting his teeth and his face was full of anger, since Shao Xi asked him about this person, he could only suppress his anger for the time being, sat down on the chair, stretched out his palm and slapped the table.
"This is a traitor, a white-eyed wolf, and a disgrace to our 'Jingcheng Division'! Because of his betrayal, our 'Jingcheng Division' has betrayed at least dozens of spies. At that time, Xiao Yuzhi knew that the owner of the village was secretly investigating him, And I learned that Jiucai Liuli Kou is in Fengjiazhuang. The source of the news should be this guy, because these two things are extremely secretive. Only a few spies around the owner of the village know about it. He and I It’s all one of them…”
Shao Xi raised his hand and did not let Old Wu continue, but suddenly said: "Wait a minute, let's start with what I want to know. Just answer me whatever I ask, otherwise it will be too confusing."
"Okay, ask! I'll tell you everything I know."
Shao Xi lowered his head to collect his thoughts and asked: "Tell me first, since he is a secret agent of my 'Jingcheng Division', why did he go to a carpentry workshop owner named Ruan in Yuanzhou twenty years ago? At home, go teach martial arts to my young master as a master?"
"This kind of thing is very common. You have to know that spies need to cover up their identities. Because everyone is good at different things, so the cover identity is usually chosen by the spies. They make a living on this on weekdays, and receive " After accepting the mission from the Secretary, he will do the secret agent's errands."
"Oh? Then what is your cover identity? Are you a thief?"
Old Wu spat at Shao Xi.
"Bah! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Have you ever seen any spy use a thief to cover his identity? Of course my identity is the servant of the owner of the village."
"So 'Jingcheng Si' has always known about the fact that he served as the young master's master in the Ruan family twenty years ago, right?"
"I know, that was his cover identity at the time, and we all felt that this identity was very good. He stayed at home every day and didn't have to go out, so his identity would be less likely to be exposed."
"What were his main responsibilities in the 'Jingcheng Department' at that time?"
"Intelligence collection, sorting and storage of espionage secret messages, the person in the company who knows the most about intelligence besides the village owner is him."
Shao Xi rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then asked Lao Wu: "Did you just say that he was a traitor? Not only did it cause a large number of spies within the 'Jingcheng Division' to be exposed and killed, but they also doubted the secrets that Xiao Yuzhi obtained back then. He revealed the news, do you have conclusive evidence on this matter, or is it just your personal speculation?"
Lao Wu hesitated for a moment, but finally said firmly: "I don't have any evidence that can be produced, but I can use everything that happened at that time to prove this matter.
"Ten years ago, not long before the incident in Fengjiazhuang, a big change suddenly occurred in the Ruan family where he lived. The owner of the carpentry workshop was killed inexplicably, and everyone in the family also died. Only the fifteen-year-old young master in their family disappeared mysteriously and was never seen again. The one who disappeared with the young master in the family was his master.
"Not long after he disappeared, many spies of the 'Jingcheng Division' were killed inexplicably. There was only one reason for the spies to be killed, that is, their identity was exposed, and what happened in Fengjiazhuang soon followed.
"The people around the village owner who knew the two important news were all killed except me and him who disappeared. And something happened in Fengjiazhuang not long after these people were killed, so there is no need for any evidence at all. Everything It all happened when he disappeared. It is conceivable that this person has betrayed the 'Jingcheng Division' and leaked all the secret agents of the 'Jingcheng Division' and the owner of the village. I have been asking about it all these years. The whereabouts of this person have never been found.”
Shao Xi leaned back on the chair and said with some frustration: "You don't have to look for him anymore. This man is already dead. I still know the person who killed him."
"Dead?"
"Yes, dead."
