MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 70

How to explain why she stood behind the tree for half a day? An Ruochen felt ashamed to explain. Last night, Long Da pulled the horse and smiled at her face, which swayed in her dreams all night.

Long Da was about to come over, An Ruochen made a decisive decision, threw out the dart, and climbed up the tree whizzingly.

As soon as he sat down on the tree, Long Da and Li Mingyu walked under the tree. Li Mingyu said: "Got it, I'll do it right away."

"Then you go." Long Da said.

An Ruochen froze immediately, why didn't you two go together?

Li Mingyu saluted, turned and left. And Long Da stood under the tree without moving.

no? Smoke was coming from An Ruochen's head, and he didn't dare to move. General, aren't you very busy? Go as soon as you are busy. It's so cool under the tree to catch the wind.

As a result, Long Da raised his head, his eyes met An Ruochen's panicked eyes, he smiled, and then his smile became bigger and bigger, laughing so much that An Ruochen really wanted to shake down the tree and bury himself.

"Guan An has not only improved his horse riding skills, but also improved his skills a lot. It seems that he has learned something."

An Ruochen's face was burning hot, but she answered calmly: "It's because of the general's guidance." She made up her mind, if the general said how to practice darts and write a report, she immediately agreed to not talk nonsense. Just ask the general to leave quickly.

As a result, Long Da asked, "How did Guan An come down?"

An Ruochen: "..." An Ruochen looked around, that's right, I got excited just now and climbed a bit high. But it is also possible to hang it with a dart rope, but the posture will not be too beautiful. It is also possible to hug the trunk and roll down, but the movement must be embarrassing.

She was thinking hard about how to get Long Da to leave quickly, as long as the general left, it didn't matter how ugly or embarrassed she was.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Long leaped up, extremely relaxed and unrestrained, and sat beside her.

"It turns out that the scenery above looks very good."

"Yes, yes." An Ruochen smiled dryly. It would be great if the branch was broken by the general, so that she would not have to think about how to get down.

But the branches were thick and strong, and they didn't intend to cooperate at all.

"Guan An came up to see the scenery?" Long Da asked again.

"Yes, yes." What else could she say, she could only answer like this. An Ruochen guessed that after the general teased her, he would kindly take her down with him, then tease her a few more words, and then go to work.

Sure enough, Long Da spoke again, he said: "Then Manager An will continue to watch, I won't bother you any more. There are still many official duties to be done, so I will take my leave first."

An Ruochen: "..."

Long Da jumped off the tree, extremely relaxed and unrestrained, and then looked back at her: "I'm leaving."

An Ruochen's face flushed red, and he walked quickly. "General, go slowly."

Hmph, hum, she can do it by herself. real.

Long Da really left. After walking for a while, he looked back at her and walked backward a few steps, smiling at her all the time.

It's really annoying, it's annoying to smile so heroically and look good.

An Ruochen sat on the tree for a long time, had enough of muttering in her heart, and then hung it on the branch with a dart rope, stepped on the trunk and rubbed it down little by little. He went to Long's house with an unhappy face, and put the written letter on his desk. Turning around and wanting to leave, I wanted to write the general's explanation to leave a message, so I took a pen and ink and wrote: "Here is the report, general, please read it." I also drew an arrow pointing to the direction of the report.

After going out of the house and walking around, I made up my mind that the next time I look at the general, I must not take more than two eyes, never!

Before he reached the gate of his yard, he saw Chun Xiao running towards him. Chunxiao said that she was looking for her, and Aunt Lu brought some special products for the girl to try out, and wanted to hand them to the girl face to face.

Upon hearing this, An Ruochen knew that something must happen, and there was no time to post the communication note, so she hurried there.

Aunt Lu stuffed some dry goods that she didn't know where they were made, and then told her in a low voice that someone went to the Dingsong Pavilion and took down the four bells at the corners of the pavilion when it was dark today. "Miss Cui said that the sky was dark, and he was far away, so he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly. He was only of medium height and slightly fat."

An Ruochen was taken aback: "What happens after you take it off?"

"Just left without doing anything."

"Did you follow up and see where you went?"

"Don't dare to follow. At that time, it was not yet dawn, and there were almost no people on the street. The man was extremely vigilant. He turned around every step and looked around. Miss Cui was afraid that she would be found out and cause trouble, so she huddled in his nest for a while. move."

An Ruochen thought for a while, "Let Ms. Cui and the others keep a close watch and see what's behind."

"Don't worry, I've already ordered you."

After Mrs. Lu left, An Ruochen thought for a long time. It has been nearly a month since Liu Ze's case. Could it be that the secret work has started to act again? But why move the bell. This is so risky, it is really not a wise move. Could it be that this is a new signal?

In the yamen of the county government, Hou Yu, the head of the yamen, reported to the master Bo Jiang Hongqing that someone from the yamen patrolling the city reported to him. At the Dingsong Pavilion, he saw someone take down the bell for communication.

Jiang Hongqing attached great importance to it and immediately reported it to Yao Kun.

Yao Kun called the yamen who was patrolling the city and asked carefully. The yamen said that they patrolled the streets as usual at dawn. He walked around the area of ​​Dingsong Pavilion and wanted to see if the bakery stall was open and buy some breakfast. . It turned out that a middle-aged man secretly took down the bell of Dingsong Pavilion. He remembered that when he was patrolling Liu Zeyu's party, he heard that they used bells as a signal, and he thought it was a bit strange. But upon closer inspection, the man was a familiar face, a member of General Long of Ziyunlou.

Yao Kun frowned: "Who?"

"It's Mr. Li Changshi Li who often comes to our yamen to get documents and bulletins." The little yamen servant said: "It's just some goatee, medium height, a little fat, always ugly, I've seen it in the yamen He counted it several times. Seeing that he was always unhappy, he asked and found out that he was Lord Changshi Li. So I remembered it.”

Yao Kun was silent for a while, then asked again: "What did he do after that?"

"I didn't do anything, I took the bell and put it in my arms and left."

"Do you know where you went?"

"I didn't follow. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. Because I was a member of the military, I thought maybe he was just like us, and he was also ordered to inspect and handle affairs. But after thinking about it, I felt that since I saw it, I should report it to the adults. .”

Yao Kun thought for a while, dismissed the little yamen servant, and sent someone to invite Long Da. After waiting for a while, the man came back and reported that General Long had just left the house, and Li Changshi came out after receiving the report from the guards, saying that the general had gone to the military camp outside the city to handle military affairs and would not return until evening.

Yao Kun and Jiang Hongqing looked at each other, it was really a coincidence. It is also common for Li Changshi to receive receptions between the government office and the military office for miscellaneous affairs. Today, when he went to find the general, he stopped him. Isn't this a little too coincidental?

Yao Kunyu wanted to discuss with Jiang Hongqing, but the government servants from outside came in to report to Jiang Hongqing, saying that Li Changshi from Ziyun Building was ordered by General Long to call some documents and records. This is simply to follow up and try. Yao Kun couldn't help being suspicious, so he asked Li Mingyu to come in for questioning.

Li Mingyu came, still the same as before, with a serious face and a meticulous attitude. He said that General Long ordered him to fetch some documents and records. His tone of voice and demeanor were the same as usual. Yao Kun had a few polite words with him, asking him about Liu Ze's detailed crimes, whether there is any new progress in the military's investigation?

Li Mingyu replied that there was no progress. At the time when General Long was not present at the trial, the prefect tried it himself. That's all there is to it. The military won't make any new discoveries without notifying them.

Yao Kun deliberately said: "Isn't that case still involving a traitor in the army? General Long said he would arrange a thorough investigation. It's been almost a month now, and there is no progress at all?"

Li Mingyu's expression froze obviously. Yao Kun saw it in his heart, and his doubts deepened.

Li Mingyu hesitated for a while, and replied: "There is no progress." He hadn't forgotten that Yao Kun had also been bewitched by An Ruochen, and it was better not to reveal anything until the evidence was obtained.

"Did the general arrange some checks or tricks to lure the enemy? I can also cooperate and assist." Yao Kun tried again.

"No." Li Mingyu answered quickly this time.

Yao Kun looked at him again and stopped asking. He asked Jiang Hongqing to lead Li Mingyu to pick up the documents and files he wanted to collect, and then asked Li Mingyu to convey to General Long that he had something important to discuss, and asked General Long to come over at night if he had time. Li Mingyu readily agreed, and bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Yao Kun summoned Yatou Hou Yu and two catchers, and ordered them to find a few people to pretend to be civilian hawkers and stare at Dingsong Pavilion. If the spy thinks that Liu Ze's case is closed and they can still use that place to contact, or if that place is as he expected, with a bell hanging above it and a large area of ​​the house can be seen, which is the best place to pass the news, then Li Mingyu will take The action of the bell indicates that something may happen later. Do not let your guard down.

The matter was quickly arranged, and Li Mingyu took the paperwork and left.

Yao Kun waited until late at night, but did not wait for Long Da's visit. He sent someone to quietly go to Ziyun Tower to inquire, and said that General Long had returned to Ziyun Tower after nightfall.

Jiang Hongqing asked Yao Kun, if this is the case, should he send another person to invite him.

Yao Kun shook his head. "If he doesn't come, there are only two possibilities. One is that he doesn't want to come, and the other is that Li Mingyu didn't send a message at all. In my opinion, the latter is more likely. If Li Mingyu deliberately conceals the truth, he must have a plan. We Send someone again, he should be on the alert. Let him feel that nothing happened, and see what he does. I will talk to General Long tomorrow to see what the situation is."

Li Mingyu did not convey Yao Kun's invitation to Long Da. He always felt that Yao Kun was a little abnormal today. Intuitively, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Anyway, he will end all of this tomorrow, no matter whether he succeeds in obtaining evidence or proves to be used tomorrow.

Moreover, Li Mingyu heard another news that made him extremely uncomfortable. Long Da was going to take An Ruochen for a walk. In the middle of the night, with a lonely man and a widow, Li Mingyu scolded An Ruochen for being shameless in his heart. So he didn't want to report to Long Da even more. Wait for tomorrow! He got the evidence and wanted to expose An Ruochen's true face.

An Ruochen really went out riding with Long Da. Long Dati was in charge of riding the horse. He came back late, but the food was still hot and there was delicious stew. The soup made him drink very comfortably, and he decided not to practice boxing at night. He went to An Ruochen and told her that the letter was well written, so he decided to reward her and take her for a horseback ride.

"Now?" An Ruochen was a little taken aback. The letters and newspapers are well written, so let’s forget about such nonsense. At this time, go out for an outing on horseback, whether to go out in the green or in the dark.

In the end, the general just took her to ride a horse around the school grounds.

The corner of An Ruochen's mouth twitched: "The general's outing is quite special."

Long Dali said confidently: "There is no time in the daytime. Now that it is late at night and the gates of the city are closed, there is no green for you to step on. Besides, is it important to go out?"

Yes, sir, what you say is right. An Ruochen asked stupidly: "Then what is the important thing?"

Long Day choked, and became more confident: "The important thing is that someone has more riding skills."

Yes, sir, what you say is right.
