Huaicheng, the top floor of Guanyun Tower.
Yun Bailou walked around the brazier and knelt down next to the woman who was kneeling on the ground. He stretched out a finger to wipe the tears on her face and said softly, "Look, why are you crying again?"
The woman who was kneeling on the ground seemed to be shocked by the sudden touch. After glaring, tears burst into her eyes. She stood up and knelt and moved towards Yun Bailou, but in the end she did not touch a corner of his clothes. , "The slave family... The slave family is just grateful to be able to follow the young master. I will have no regrets in this life..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You and I are still young, what are you talking about in this life?" Yun Bailou stretched out his hand and tapped the tip of the woman's nose, "Quickly, let's talk about business. Since the prefect of Hanoi County also has this intention, Then this game of chess can be settled... We still can't find out who the thorn in the military of Yongchang County in Hanoi County is?"
The woman who was kneeling on the ground wiped her tears and shook her head and said, "I only know that it must be an important person next to a very important figure in the Yongchang County military. Otherwise, the incident more than ten years ago would not have been so easy for them to accomplish. Hanoi County attaches great importance to this person and protects him very well. This chess piece was not used in several subsequent calculations against the prefect of Yongchang County."
Yun Bailou lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "This man... I hope he can give me more surprises." He looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, "Let the Anling County prefect move. I'm afraid he has been waiting for this day for a long time."
The woman kneeling on the ground looked at Yun Bailou's smiling face infatuatedly, "What the Anling County governor wants is a controllable battle. I'm afraid it won't be as good as the young master expects."
"Of course not," Yun Bailou smiled and looked at the gradually weakening fire in the brazier, "It's just that in Anling County, I naturally have my back-ups. When playing chess, we have to move step by step. What comes and what comes. It’s better to go there, otherwise Hanzhou in southwest China would be too boring.”
"Yongchang County also let the nail from Hanoi County strike first?" asked the woman kneeling on the ground.
"Of course," Yun Bailou stood up and looked down at the ever-changing flames in the brazier, "If that person can't have more influence on the Northern Army of Yongchang County, I will light a fire there. If that person can satisfy me ..." He sneered and said, "I will spend more money to get Li Jun involved," he chuckled, his expression a little intoxicated, "The more chaotic the better... "
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something. Although the smile was still on his face, a knot formed between his eyebrows, "Luo Tianen, there is something wrong with this person's recent actions... I think there is a big problem." , but he couldn't fully understand it." His smile gradually faded away, leaving only a little bit at the corner of his mouth, "He asked Luo Chuan to go to Cangyan, and asked Luo Yun to take over the supervision of the Licheng garrison, and made it clear who would be the successor. For everyone to see, it seems to be clear, let the Northern Army go south, let the Southern Army go north, put the two money-grubbing Northern generals under the control of the Southern Army, and let the elite Southern Army guard the north and west gates. ..... Although it is not a good idea to deal with this mess, it does not seem to be a bad idea either. Being law-abiding seems to be his usual style, but... why do I always feel something is wrong?"
The woman sitting on her knees did not respond.
After a while, Yun Bailou came out of that kind of thinking and regained a smile on his face, "Let the people from Lijun keep an eye on Lijun Qingqi, even if this scholar who has always been conservative is really deep enough to deceive others." Of all people, Lijun Qingqi is the sharpest knife that he will use first in whatever he wants to do. If this knife does not move, Lijun’s army will not move. Even if this knife does move... ..The overall situation I have laid out is enough to withstand his knife. All the forces that may appear in Southwestern Hanzhou are under my eyes... No one can be freed..."
"Yes," the woman kneeling on the ground responded softly.
"Where's Luochuan, how is he?" Yun Bailou asked.
"At this time, he should be arriving in Cangyan. He met our people in Ganyuan not long ago. He was very rude when he asked for money and food. According to the information in the report, he wants to settle down in Cangyan. "Yes," the woman who was kneeling on the ground raised her eyes and looked at Yun Bailou, "Young master... you think highly of him?"
Yun Bailou raised the corner of his mouth and said noncommittally, "Cangyan is a good place. As long as he doesn't ruin it completely, it will be a paradise. Luo Tianen still let him go there in the end, and he lived up to my expectations. It's an arrangement...although...I still want to borrow your name," he raised his hand as if talking to himself, his thumb and index finger touched and separated lightly, "Just Borrow just a little bit."
The woman sitting on her knees widened her eyes.
"Send someone to find the second young master of Li County who is probably old enough to get out of bed," Yun Bailou said with a strong smile, "tell him that his brother who is far away in Cangyan, the humble hostage who returned from Zhongjing City, has The sword that he longs for...the sword of the princes...!"
The woman who was kneeling on the ground paused for a moment and asked, "Go directly to the Second Young Master of Li County?"
"Of course," Yun Bailou waved his hand casually and turned around and walked towards the window, "Since the last time it was a coincidence that it was equivalent to joining forces with the person in the dark to kill him, it will be a while to send anyone else. It's hard to get close to him again. The stupid woman behind him is not that stupid. I'm too lazy to make arrangements for a kid from Lijun. I just find someone to meet him directly. Let's just say...then This is what I want to tell him..."
"Yes," the woman who had already stood up and followed Yun Bailou to the window had put the brown hood on her head again. No one appeared within the window range, and she carefully hid her body, "Young Master asked me last time The woman investigated has been identified as the eldest daughter of the Yin family, a grain merchant in Hanoi County, named Yin Huayu."
"Oh, it's her," Yun Bailou laughed for a while and then whispered, "This businessman's daughter, whose name I can remember, almost died on the Han River and was used as a sacrifice to the Dragon King. It's really... ...Okay," he raised his hand to block the sun, "Where is she now, I want to see her."
"Right in my arms..." The woman paused slightly, her two hands that were folded in her sleeves and were raising them paused slightly. Her large brown robe seemed to move with the wind, and then loosened again. , continued, "It's in Huaicheng, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
"Okay, from now on, you stay by my side. Things will change faster in the future." Yun Bailou turned around slowly. After a moment, a short old man in a white robe and a black face appeared in the shadow from not far away. came out, "How was it?"
The short old man first glanced at the woman next to Yun Bailou, moved slightly farther away, and then saluted Yun Bailou, "Returning to the young master, Wei Changhe did not answer our post, and took the young master with him Yan Zhuo left Huaicheng and returned to his hometown."
"Have you seen Yan Zhuo?" Yun Bailou frowned slightly.
"I didn't see it," the little old man quickly added, "Wei Changhe's people stopped me. I thought that the young master said to be more polite before setting off, so I didn't use other methods to force myself to see the young master. See Then they left."
Yun Bailou nodded, then turned to look out the window with a light smile, "There must be an opponent like this, so playing chess is only half of the fun. But Wei Changhe... How many more years can you last... ....?"
