Since receiving the command order, everyone in Xuanwu Courtyard has become busy. Even the patrolling guards are divided into two groups day and night.
There were three days left before the meeting, and it was An Dafang's and Tong Bo's turn to patrol the night again. An Dafang couldn't wait to urge: "Xiangyun, are you ready? You have to cheer up these two days."
Tong Bo smiled and scolded: "I don't usually see you being so active; what's going on recently? Is it true that night patrol is a meritorious job?"
"Don't tell me, as long as the meeting is successfully carried out, maybe the hospital master will really promote me to make contributions if he is happy." An Dafang said with confidence.
Tong Bo picked up An Dafang's sword from the table and put it into his hand: "My Lord An, when you make great achievements, don't forget Brother Xiangyun who has been with you through life and death."
An Dafang replied with a smile: "Of course, I will recommend you to the hospital master when the time comes."
"That's not necessary. I think it's good to be a night guard. As long as you don't forget our brotherhood." Tong Bo said seriously.
"Xiangyun, brother, this is a lifetime thing, how could I forget. What's wrong with you, why are you so serious all of a sudden?" An Dafang said with a smile.
"It's nothing. Let's change the zone tonight." Tong Bo realized that he had lost his temper and quickly changed the subject.
"Change defense? Do you want to go to the side where I usually patrol at night?" An Dafang asked with some confusion.
"It's been an extraordinary period recently, and I want to get familiar with an area I haven't been to before." Tong Bo explained.
"Okay, let's meet up at the old place at Chenshi." An Dafang nodded.
Night falls soon, and the stars in the sky are shining brightly, which is really beautiful. But Tong Bo had no intention of appreciating these beautiful scenery. He held the tray in both hands and came to the door of Uncle Fu's room. He said loudly: "Uncle Fu is there? I'm here, Tong Bo, I'm here to see you."
"It's Guard Tong. The door is unlocked. Please come in." Uncle Fu's voice came from inside the house.
Tong Bo pushed the door open and entered, and was slightly surprised by the environment in front of him. Uncle Fu's residence was a large single room. In addition to the Kang for sleeping, there was only a small round table and a Taishi chair. It could be said to be very simple. The furnishings in the house were not even as good as those in an ordinary guard's bedroom.
"What's the matter with Guard Tong coming so late?" Uncle Fu's old voice sounded in Tong Bo's ears.
"As a humble night watchman, I saw that the lights were still on in your old room, so I came here to bring you some midnight snacks." With that, Tong Bo placed the tray on the round table.
"Oh?" Uncle Fu looked at the tray: "Lamb chops, milk tea? These are the old man's favorite foods. Guard Tong is really thoughtful."
"As long as you like it." Tong Bo bowed.
Uncle Fu picked up a piece of mutton chop and took a bite and praised: "This mutton chop is still delicious to bite, and it is really a supreme enjoyment to pair it with this snow-white milk tea. Tong Guards, you are here today not only to give Give this mutton chop and milk tea to me, and if you have anything to say, just say it."
"You Mingjian, I have indeed reported something." Tong Bo paused and continued: "The morning before yesterday, when the night patrol was about to end, I found a figure flashing near Xuanwu Pavilion. But when I arrived to check , but the person disappeared.”
"Then, Beizhi checked the door lock of Xuanwu Pavilion, and there was no trace of tampering. Therefore, Beizhi boldly speculated that this person's target was not Xuanwu Pavilion, but Xuanwu Hall, where Master Du was, and that this person was a member of the courtyard. People." Tong Bo analyzed.
"Then what?" Uncle Fu took a sip of milk tea and asked with interest.
"I couldn't figure it out at first, why did this person sneak into the Xuanwu Hall secretly? It wasn't until I received the command order and learned that this time the meeting of the head of the hospital was being held in our Xuanwu Hall that I finally figured it out."
"What do you want to understand?" A cold light flashed in Fu Bo's eyes.
Tong Bo, however, seemed to have seen nothing and continued to talk: "I have inquired about it. I have never discussed matters in the main hall, but in the branch. Of course, big things will happen in this courtyard. And it is either great joy or great sadness. Master Du is a human being. He is bold and forthright, and is easily hated by others, so I speculate that this time will be a big disaster for the hospital master."
Uncle Fu laughed and seemed to be laughing very happily: "Tong Guard, this is the funniest joke I have ever heard. Who will believe what you say?"
Tong Bo smiled faintly: "If I am that figure, I will definitely put some objects that are not conducive to the president of the Academy Du in the Xuanwu Hall and leave them to be exposed in public during the meeting. In this way, the president will not be able to clear his suspicion even if he jumps into the Yellow River. By the way, you always like to eat mutton chops and drink milk tea, you must be from the North, right? Let me guess whether you are from the Northern Yan or the Northern Wei?"
"How outrageous, you, a little night watch guard, dare to investigate the old man in private." Uncle Fu swept away the senile appearance just now, lightly swiped his right palm, and saw a yellow light flashing in the air, hitting Tong Bo.
Tong Bo raised his right foot slightly and tilted his body backwards. He avoided the palm without delay, but his face was slightly hurt by the wind of the palm: "The wind and thunder palm is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Uncle Fu didn't even reply. He swung two flying needles and hit Tong Boyintang and Tanzhong acupoints. Tong Bo put his right palm on the ground and flew up in the air. At the same time, his left hand used a technique that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and hit several locust stones with his backhand. He only heard two "ding-ding" sounds as the flying needles fell to the ground.
At the same time, Uncle Fu said "Ouch" and fell to his knees. Tong Bo stepped forward and grabbed Fu Bo's jaw, smiling and saying, "Please be patient and listen to what I have to say."
"Hmph, Guard Tong's skills in using hidden weapons are really good. While shooting down my flying needle, he actually shot a locust stone and hit the old man's knee. Since it falls into your hands, I will kill you and cut you into pieces. That’s it.” Uncle Fu looked like he was waiting for death with his eyes closed.
But Tong Bo helped Uncle Fu up and patted the dust on Uncle Fu's clothes: "It seems that you have always misunderstood. I just need you to take me to Xuanwu Hall to investigate to confirm my idea. How about it? It’s not too difficult for you.”
Uncle Fu looked at Tong Bo in disbelief: "Is it that simple? You don't know how?"
"Of course not. I just want to repay the hospital master for saving my life. Everything else has nothing to do with me." Tong Bo interrupted.
Uncle Fu gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will take the risk to help you this time. However, I still want to advise you, it is best not to wade into this muddy water."
Tong Bo smiled nonchalantly and said, "I have my own opinions on this matter, so I won't bother you anymore."
When good things happen, you will feel that time flies by quickly. Of course, when bad things happen, time also passes quickly, but this is often overlooked.
The day for the dean's meeting finally arrived. The Xuanwu Hall was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the front hall of the hall was also greatly renovated, giving people a completely new look. The director of the hospital, Du Hanshan, was wearing a red and black one. He looked radiant. Early in the morning, he took Zhou Pingyu and Wei Mingfeng to greet the hospital owner and guests who had arrived.
"Commander Commander is here." The guard welcoming guests outside the door shouted at the top of his lungs.
Du Hanshan was chatting with several hospital masters. When he heard that the commander had arrived, he naturally did not dare to neglect. He hurried forward and said: "Du Hanshan, a humble official, welcomes the commander."
"Hanshan, you look very good today." Si Zhongwei patted Du Hanshan on the shoulder.
"That's all thanks to the commander-in-chief. Commander, please come and take a seat." Du Hanshan said respectfully.
"Okay." Si Zhongwei walked straight into the Xuanwu Hall and sat down on the main seat.
Everyone became quiet when they saw the commander coming, and several courtyard masters also sat down in their respective seats.
In the Xuanwu Hall, the guards of the Four Courtyards are stationed in four rows, from left to right, from the guards of the Zhuque Courtyard to the guards of the Xuanwu Courtyard. They are neat and orderly, with solemn expressions.
Seeing the scale of the Jingwei Mansion now, Si Zhongwei couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, stroking his long beard and said with great enthusiasm: "Zhongwei, thanks to everyone's great help, our Jingwei Mansion has grown in size in the past few years. It is getting stronger and stronger. But I hope you will not be satisfied with this, and work harder to share the worries of the Holy One."
"Under the wise command of the Commander-in-Chief, I am willing to be loyal to the Holy One." Thunderous shouts erupted in the hall.
Zhao Yuanchang lost no time in posting it and asked: "Commander, can the president's discussion begin?"
"Well, let's get started." Si Zhongwei nodded.
Zhao Yuanchang cleared his throat, took out an account book, and said loudly: "Let me first announce the completion of tasks in each hospital this year. Zhuque Academy received a total of 100 tasks, completed 83 tasks, and failed 17 tasks. Qinglongyuan, received a total of 85 tasks, completed 62, and failed 23. Baihuyuan, received a total of 80 tasks, completed 60, and failed 20. Finally, Xuanwuyuan, received a total of 80 tasks, completed 60, and failed 23. One hundred and twenty tasks were completed, 112 were completed, and eight were failed. This is the cross-hospital that has accomplished the best tasks this year.”
After the reading, Zhao Yuanchang closed the account book and stepped aside to look at Si Zhongwei.
"You must have heard what Manager Zhao just announced. Do you know why I put this year's dean's meeting in Xuanwu Courtyard? It's because Xuanwu Courtyard was promoted from the bottom of the Fourth Courtyard to the Fourth Courtyard under the leadership of Du Hanshan First of all, with such merit, I need to show off my merit in public. The rest of the deans should also follow Han Shan's example for the coming year." Sizhong said majestically.
"My subordinates will obey the instructions of the commander." Everyone shouted in unison.
In the group of guards, An Dafang whispered to Tong Bo: "Xiang Yun, I'm right. Now that our hospital is so popular, I can also take advantage of it. Maybe, I can really stop patrolling at night in the future. ”
Tong Bo looked at An Dafang and said nothing, and sighed in his heart: "I'm afraid this is the prelude to the storm. If we can really end this discussion at this moment, we will really be grateful to God."
While Tong Bo was in his thoughts, An Dafang suddenly pulled Tong Bo's clothes: "Xiang Yun, look at it, look at it."
Tong Bo looked up and saw an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman. She was wearing a silver-white silk shirt that complemented her watery skin. Her black hair was tied up high with a white ribbon, showing her heroic spirit. There is no smile on the delicate face, and the frosty temperament makes people look away and feel chills.
Si Zhongwei looked at the girl with a smile in his eyes, and his words were full of kindness: "Everyone, this is my son and daughter Si Ruoshui. From now on, he will join the Jingwei Mansion. In the future, I ask all the masters to take good care of my little girl."
Si Ruoshui bowed his hands and said, "Ruoshui has met all the courtyard masters."
"Our Suzaku Institute is the first institute in this mansion, and Sister Ruoshui should come to our institute." A white-faced scholar-like young man gently stroked the folding fan in his hand. The little finger of his right hand had a black finger cot.
"President Xu's words are wrong. The first courtyard in the mansion now is the Xuanwu Courtyard where Principal Du is. How can you be so embarrassed to put gold on your face? You are saying that if Miss Si comes, she should also come to our Qinglong Courtyard." The skinny-looking old man smiled sadly.
"Shang Wuwei, you can't get along with me? If you don't accept it, how about we make gestures in front of the commander?" Xu Shujian shouted.
"It's exactly what I want, Xu Shujian, please clear the way." Shang Wuwei said not to be outdone.
"Shut up, everyone. Today is a great day for the masters of the hospital to discuss business. What's the etiquette of fighting and killing." Si Zhongwei shouted angrily, suppressing the voices of the two masters of the hospital.
"I don't dare to be humble." Xu Shujian and Shang Wuwei suddenly lost their momentum.
"Wu Yan, what do you mean?" Si Zhongwei turned around and looked at Ye Wu Yan, the master of the White Tiger Academy.
Ye Wuyan, who had been gloomy and silent just now, stood up calmly and said: "Commander, fellow courtyard masters. In my humble opinion, Xuanwu Academy is where Miss Si should enter."
