Allure of a Country Maiden

"Try this steak, I fried it myself." Xiaoer pointed to the steak in front of him.

Shangguan Xuanyi skillfully picked up the knife and hairpin and started eating.

He rushed over as soon as he came out of the palace, thinking that she would have something good for him, so he deliberately didn't eat much during the meal, leaving some room for his stomach.

After seeing him finish eating, Xiaoer asked: "Is the emperor feeling better?"

The information contained in these words contains too much content.

But Shangguan Xuanyi knew what Xiaoer wanted to ask: "It's still the same."

Shangguan Xuanyi meant that things still had no progress.

But this is normal. It has only been a few days, so we have to wait and see to see what is going on with the emperor.

"It will be fine soon." Xiaoer pointedly said.

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.

"I heard..." Xiaoer was just about to talk about Lianyun County's military recruitment.

Shangguan Xuanyi suddenly picked up a walnut on the table and threw it in a certain direction.

"Ah!" A woman's exclamation came from the flowers.

"Come out!" Xiaoer shouted coldly towards the flowers.

"Girl, Master!" Rou'er stood up and blessed the two of them with a look of fear on her face.

"What are you doing sneakily hiding among the flowers?" Xiaoer said with a stern face.

"When the slave was cleaning the yard in the afternoon, she dropped an earring. I looked around and happened to see the girl admiring the moon. I didn't dare to show up and disturb her. I could only squat here and didn't dare to move. I didn't eavesdrop on purpose." Rou'er Raise one hand as an oath.

"Didn't anyone tell you that after nightfall, no one can enter my yard without permission?"

"The earrings were given to me by Madam in the morning. I only took them for a long time and then disappeared. I was so anxious to find them that I forgot for a moment. Please forgive me. I will not dare to do it next time. Please spare my life, Miss!" Rou'er saw. Xiaoer was so powerful that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing her like this, Xiaoer's tone softened: "Have you found the earrings?"

"Looking for it, found it, over there." Rou'er pointed to the bluestone floor not far away.

Xiaoer looked over and saw that something was indeed shining under the moonlight.

"Pick up the earrings and leave! Next time, remember that you are not allowed to come in after dark without permission, otherwise you will not be lenient."

"Thank you, girl, she is really kind-hearted." Rou'er kowtowed repeatedly.

"Okay, get down quickly." Xiaoer waved her hand impatiently.

Rou'er glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi who said nothing, then lowered her head shyly and retreated.

When she walked out of the yard where Xiaoer was, she saw no one around and patted her chest. It was so dangerous that she was discovered so easily and was almost kicked out. Fortunately, she accidentally dropped an earring while sweeping the floor in the afternoon.

Just now, the Sixth Prince just threw walnuts at him, not darts, and he didn't pay attention to him afterwards. He probably didn't notice anything wrong!

Otherwise, how could I have easily escaped? ! Rou'er thought as she returned to the servant's room.

After Rou'er retreated, Shangguan Xuanyi said, "The new maid?"

Xiaoer nodded, and then told how Shen Chengyao bought the maid.

Shangguan Xuanyi raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

"Because I was worried that something would happen to her, I decided to put her under my nose."

"Send someone to spy on her." Since ancient times, many people have used beauty traps, and most of them are successful. There is a saying: It is difficult for a hero to be a beauty.

"This is natural." Xiaoer nodded.

"What did you want to say just now?"

"I heard that Lianyun County is recruiting troops. Is the imperial court recruiting troops there?"

Lianyun County? Shangguan Xuanyi thought for a while and shook his head: "No, Lianyun County already had a military conscription three years ago. This year's conscription will not be in Lianyun County again. Who did you listen to about this?"

"My aunt's sister-in-law is from Lianyun County. Her nephew is going to be a soldier. His parents are worried about his life. I heard that he is going to be a soldier under General Di. My aunt knows Then he wrote a letter asking us to ask General Di to beg for mercy and let him be a cook!" Xiaoer couldn't help laughing when she said this.

I have never heard of soldiers on the cooking squad needing to intercede.

If that person was determined to go to the battlefield and make great achievements, but when he arrived at the military camp, he was cooking in the cooking team without even going to the battlefield, he would probably die of suffocation.

After Shangguan Xuanyi heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Cooking soldiers? I also have connections to join the cooking class and serve as a cook. What a great ambition!

"I'm afraid he has become a soldier of the rebellious ministers and traitors." Shangguan Xuanyi frowned and immediately relaxed. He couldn't frown, otherwise he would look older.

Of course Xiao'er knew: "I will send a message back immediately, hoping to stop him in time!"

But there is little hope.

If you really become a soldier of the rebellious ministers and traitors, then the greater your contribution, the more complete your death will be!

"What is that person's character like? Is he trustworthy?" Shangguan Xuanyi thought for a while and asked.

"I don't know that." Xiaoer said truthfully.

Her aunt's sister-in-law's nephew had nothing to do with her family, and she had really never had any contact with him.

"Brother Shangguan wants to take this opportunity to plant spies in the enemy's army..."

Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiaoer.

"Ahem, eyeliner?" Xiaoer immediately changed her tune.

Spies are very hard-working people. How can you describe them as spies? It's so disrespectful, a sin, a sin.

"I do, but that person must be trustworthy." Shangguan Xuanyi said while peeling melon seeds.

This person is very important. It would be really bad if the spy turned into a counter-spy.

"I'll write to ask my aunt! It's just that he is just a new recruit and he doesn't know much information."

"Better than nothing."

"That's right!" If someone wants to be loyal, Xiaoer has a way, because there is loyalty powder in her space.

It's just that I am in the imperial capital and he is in Lianyun County. How should I feed him? Moreover, the other party has to sign a contract document for the medicinal powder. When the contract expires, the medicinal effect will disappear naturally.

Xiaoer thought for a while and said, "I want to go back to Shengping County and find out for myself."

"No!" Shangguan Xuanyi flatly refused.

He couldn't leave for the time being and let her go back to Shengping County alone. How could he feel relieved?

"I will secretly send people to check the situation of the conscription in Lianyun County, and then I will find a way to arrange people to go in. You don't have to worry. Now the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, so it is easier to handle things."

Xiaoer then told her about a medicine powder that could make people absolutely loyal during the contract period.

Shangguan Xuanyi was shocked when he heard this: "There is such a magical medicine in the world."

Xiaoer nodded.

"In this case, anyone can do it, and there is no need to worry about his betrayal. I will arrange for someone to take charge of this matter. When he sneaks in, let him help take care of his aunt's sister-in-law's nephew and find an opportunity. Just let him make a mistake and be kicked out of the barracks."

"Okay." It's not safe to stay in the enemy's military camp. Anyway, this is something my aunt asked me to do personally. I'll help if I can.
