late at night.

Wenshui County, in the tea storage room of the county lord's mansion.

A servant in a white robe came in carrying a tea tray.

The boy looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. After he came in, he first placed the plate on the table next to him, and then wandered among the shelves, yawning while suppressing his sleepiness, looking for the target tea leaves in the shelves.

.

"Kazuya, Kazuya."

Suddenly, a woman's soft shout came from outside the door.

The boy immediately ran away.

Outside the door of the tea storage room, he saw a young woman, also wearing a standard white robe, leaning on the threshold and smiling at him.

"Nao, Miss Nao."

The boy was startled for a moment, and then he grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands uncomfortably, his eyes evasive, and he seemed a little nervous.

"I've told you so many times, just call me Nao."

The young woman walked in with a smile, and as she spoke, she approached the boy and smiled at him and winked.

At such a close distance, the boy could even clearly smell the faint body fragrance of the other person, and his face suddenly turned red.

When the young woman named Kojima Nao saw this scene, her smile became even brighter, with a bit of charm.

"What are you doing here?"

Kojima Nao leaned against the tea stand, and quietly moved closer to the boy. She exhaled like blue when she spoke, and the boy couldn't help but feel that his earlobes were a little moist.

"Here, take the tea."

The boy lowered his head and his face became increasingly red with embarrassment.

"Get some tea?"

A flash of brilliance flashed in Kojima Nao's eyes, and then she asked softly: "It's so late, what kind of tea are you getting? If I remember correctly, the tea in this storage room is the best in the county government's mansion.

Good stuff, right? Once these tea leaves are taken out, without the protection of the formation, the quality will soon decline."

"Um."

The boy nodded and whispered: "So the tea here is ready to use. After taking it out, it must be brewed immediately."

"oh?"

Kojima Nao looked surprised, "But it's so late now, who can you brew it for? Only the Lord of the County can use the tea here. She wants to drink tea so late? Something's wrong, she has never drank tea late at night.

Habit."

"It should be...entertaining people, right?"

Hearing this, the boy raised his head to look at her and said hesitantly: "The supervisor just said that he asked me to make the tea quickly and send it to the Tianzihao reception room. If it delays the county master's reception of the guests, he will have to draw tea."

How many whips do I have?"

"It's that bad-tempered old man again!"

Kojima Nao suddenly became angry. She grabbed the boy's right hand and lifted up his sleeve, "Let me see if you still have the marks from the whipping you received from the old man a few days ago."

"..."

The boy was slightly startled, looking at Kojima Nao's serious eyes and delicate and beautiful face, and was speechless for a long time.

"If I remember correctly, you have been working morning and evening these days, right? You only sleep four or five hours a day."

Kojima Nao put down the boy's sleeves, then raised her hand, caressed his face, gently rubbed his dark circles with her thumb, pretending to be distressed and said: "Look at you, how sleepy you are? That bad guy

The old man also asked you to make tea for the county lord."

"!"

Seeing Kojima Nao look like this, and the cool touch of a woman's fingers, the boy suddenly lost control, and his face became even redder.

"How about I help you go?"

Kojima Nao looked at the boy, exhaled like a blue breath, and said softly.

At the same time, she reached out and smoothed a handful of her long hair, then leaned forward slightly, and her unbuttoned collar suddenly dropped. The looming ravine completely made the boy fall into despair, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"This, this..."

The boy was incoherent, "I, that, the county chief, want to make tea, I..."

"Didn't you teach me how to make tea?"

Kojima Nao smiled and said, "It's okay for me. You go to bed quickly. I'll help the magistrate make tea."

"this……"

The boy seemed a little hesitant.

"Kazuya, my sister feels sorry for you."

However, Kojima Nao suddenly stretched out her hands, hugged the boy in her arms, reached out and pressed the boy's head, buried his face directly on her chest, touched his head, and said softly:

"You haven't had much rest for several days, so hurry up and take a nap now. I'll help you make tea or something for the county lord... hmm? What is it?"

"It's a tea can!"

The boy quickly took a box of cyan cylindrical tea cans from the tea rack nearby and handed it to Nao Kojima. Then he covered his crotch with both hands and ran out of the door in a panic.

After running out, he relied on the door frame, hiding his lower body outside the door, and only sticking out his upper body. He blushed and said to Kojima Nao: "Then, I'll leave it to you, Miss Nao!"

"Kazuya, you are not very old, but the tea can is quite big."

However, Nao Kojima smiled playfully and made a gesture with her right hand.

"Um?!"

The boy was completely ashamed and turned around and ran away.

"..."

After he left, the charming smile on Nao Kojima's face completely disappeared, replaced only by indifference and...contemplation in her eyes.

She looked down at the tea can in her hand and frowned.

In the middle of the night, who is the new county magistrate trying to entertain?

Must go and see it.

Thinking of this, Kojima Nao quickly opened the lid of the green tea can, took out a bag of tea leaves, then covered the tea can and put it in its original position.

She took the bag of tea leaves with her and walked to the table. After boiling water and making tea with the tea set on the table, she took the tea set tray and left the tea storage room.

Kojima Nao walked in the quiet night of the prefecture's mansion until she reached the top floor of an attic.

In front is the Tianzihao guest room in the county lord's mansion.

Now, outside the door of this luxurious reception room, two big men wearing black armor were standing.

Um?

When Nao Kojima saw this scene in the corridor, he frowned immediately.

Why are these two people?

This is a four-elephant-level guard in the county lord's mansion.

Who on earth is the county lord receiving? He wants this highest-level guard to come and look at the door as a sign of respect?

"Nao Kojima?"

At this time, seeing Kojima Nao coming over with a tea set, a strong man in black armor couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is it you? Shouldn't it be that boy Matsushima Kazuya who makes tea?"

"Fujimoto-sama, can't you do that?"

Nao Kojima walked in and gave him a wink.

"you……"

The strong man in black armor obviously wanted to say something, but he glanced at the door of the waiting room behind him and closed his mouth that wanted to make a joke. He just stretched out his hand and pressed hard under Nao Kojima's collar.

I pinched a handful.

Kojima Nao was very cooperative. Instead of resisting, she even made a corresponding intoxicated expression.

This scene immediately made another young guard wearing black armor feel a little itchy. He raised his hand with a smile, "I..."

"Your Excellency, the tea waiter is here."

However, before the young man could touch it, the strong man in black armor turned and shouted to the door.

"..."

The young man in black armor was speechless.

The strong man in black armor smiled slyly.

"Let her in."

Takeda Ryoko's voice came from the door of the waiting room.

"yes."

Hearing this, the strong man in black armor quickly suppressed his smile, stretched out his hand to open the door, and then winked at Nao Kojima.

Nao Kojima, on the other hand, lowered his head and walked slowly into it with a tray of tea sets.

It was late at night, but the sky-high reception room was still brightly lit.

Nao Kojima was walking down the aisle, and could vaguely see two figures sitting at the round table at the end.

The two figures were sitting opposite each other.

The person facing her was Takeda Ryoko.

Facing her from the back was a figure dressed in white, obviously that of a man.

But why does this back look so similar...

It doesn't make sense. Didn't that person leave Wenshui County long ago?

With curiosity and doubt, Kojima Nao slowly walked to the round table, lowered her head towards the tea set on the table, and glanced at the man calmly.

But I can't see clearly at all.

The other party's face was covered with a layer of gray fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

Nao Kojima was not surprised by this.

Since the tea waiter is allowed to come in, it must mean that the other party has a way to conceal his identity.

"You can go out."

Takeda Ryoko looked at the tea sets placed on the table and said coldly.

"Yes, Lord County Lord."

Kojima Nao lowered her head, hugged the silver plate, and turned to leave.

After walking out of the reception room, and as expected, she was fucked by the two four-elephant-level guards again, and Nao Kojima walked towards her dormitory.

On the way, she kept thinking about the back of the man in white.

So similar.

He looks so much like the young head of the Kitamura family back then!

Tianzihao reception room.

"Guan Qi, are you sure that woman is a spy from the local family?"

Takeda Ryoko looked at the man in white sitting opposite her, his face shrouded in a gray mist, and asked in surprise using his soul transmission: "What if the other party is not the same? Then the news will not be spread at all?"

"..."

Li Guanqi was speechless for a moment.

After a pause, he sighed helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether the tea waitress who came in is a spy. What matters is that 'Mr. Takeda, I was talking to someone in the Tianzihao guest room late at night'. At this time,

It must have been discovered by other spies in the county lord's mansion.

Even if no one else comes in, the spies will definitely find out about this.

This is how they eat.

The major families must have started to place personnel near the county lord's mansion at this time, preparing to investigate.

Then, I will go out for a walk later and let them discover that I am "Kitamura Rai".

After completing this step, our first step is more than half successful.

Moreover, Liangzi, in your situation, I have reason to suspect that out of the 10 people in your county lord's mansion, 3 must be spies planted by various local families... As for whether the female tea waiter is, I will tell you later.

There will be results soon."

After saying that, Li Guanqi raised his hand and gently rubbed a headband on his forehead.

This thing is a fifth-level magic weapon that can release mist and cover the face without affecting the user's sight.

This was something Takeda Ryoko secretly took out from the treasury of the prefectural lord's palace. It is a commodity circulating on the market. There is no need to worry about being recognized as something from the lord's palace. After all, it is all available on the market.

And in his current state, he naturally used the transformation technique to transform into the figure and appearance of Kitamura Lei.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a strong wind blew by.

Next to Li Guanqi, a Western woman with blond hair and golden eyes appeared instantly - Sophia.

"Owner."

She looked at Li Guanqi and said through her soul: "That female tea waiter, I guess, is a family spy who relies on her beauty and body to wander around the county lord's mansion.

The person who came here to deliver tea was supposed to be another footman.

But in the tea storage room, the female tea waiter deliberately teased the little boy, and after some flirting, she succeeded in letting herself take over the other person's job and come here to deliver tea to you.

Then, just after she left, she rubbed her left arm vigorously on the road, and then her entire left arm began to turn black, and she used her nails to write on it.

I judged from the strokes that what she wrote should be...

——There was a man whose face was concealed, talking to Takeda Ryoko in the reception room of Tianzihao late at night. I felt that his back was very similar to the young head of the Kitamura family who left Wenshui County 2 years ago, Kitamura Lei.

——It is recommended that someone be sent to stay near the County Lord’s Mansion, and after this person comes out, use a magic weapon to see his true identity.

Then the female tea waiter went back to the dormitory to sleep."

At this point, Sophia seemed very confused, "Master, what kind of message transmission method is that? I have never heard of it."

"It should be the blood engraving manifestation technique."

Li Guanqi thought for a while and said: "Among the three-level spells, there is such a spell that allows a spellcaster to have a physical connection with an ordinary person.

Ordinary people only need to rub the part of the body where the rune is engraved to generate heat, and the rune will be activated and turn into a black piece on the body surface.

At the same time, on the side of the conjurer, black will also appear in the same position.

This is similar to a writing pad.

At this time, the ordinary person on the opposite side only needs to draw strokes on the black skin, and the skin on the magician's side will also show corresponding bloody handwriting.

In this way, the communication effect can be achieved.”

After Li Guanqi said this, he nodded slightly, "It should be this spell."

In this blood-engraved manifestation technique, since there is only a small amount of black skin for writing, the handwriting will inevitably overlap one by one in the end. But for the spell caster, this is not a problem. They can easily analyze each

a font.

"It seems that the tea waitress just now is a spy."

Li Guanqi looked at Takeda Ryoko opposite, and said through his soul: "Although I don't know which family I belong to, it's not important. I will go out for a walk later and let the spies from the major families use magic weapons to see through my cover."

The misty magic weapon with my face discovered that I am 'Kitamura Lei'. Our first step is half the success."

"Are you sure your disguise will not be discovered?"

Takeda Ryoko hesitated slightly.

Because Li Guanqi didn't tell her how he disguised himself.

In the view of Takeda Ryoko, Li Kanqi simply "walked into a room and came out as Kitamura Lei".

"Don't worry."

Li Guanqi was very calm, "I will never be discovered."

His transformation technique has never been seen through until now, and he has enough confidence.

It would be a good thing if it was really seen through.

At least he figured out the conditions for his transformation spell to be seen through at such a small price.

"Um……"

Takeda Ryoko nodded with a complicated mood, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked curiously: "Guanqi, what will the head of the Kitamura family think after this matter is spread?"

"Why are you asking this?"

Li Guanqi was a little puzzled, "No matter what the head of the Beicun family thinks, it will not affect our plan. Didn't I say before? No matter what he does to clarify, once suspicion arises, it will be difficult for everyone to trust the Beicun family."

"I'm just curious."

Takeda Ryoko said seriously: "I want to practice my ability to discern intelligence. I read the Kitamura family's intelligence and have an opinion on this matter. I want to know what you think, and then see if what I think is right

."

"ah?"

Li Guanqi was stunned.

But looking at Takeda Ryoko with a serious look on his face, Li Guanqi still nodded and said calmly: "At this juncture, the son of the head of the Kitamura family who has not been home for two years suddenly met and talked with Takeda Ryoko in private. Ryoko, it's you who

Head of the Beicun family, what else can you think?"

"Suspect."

Takeda Ryoko said seriously: "I must have suspected first that the son who appeared in the prefecture's mansion was a fake."

"Um."

Li Guanqi nodded, "What then?"

“Not sure anymore.”

Takeda Ryoko looked embarrassed, "That's why I want to ask your opinion."

"Then there's the what-if."

Li Guanqi did not sell the matter and expressed his opinion directly: "If you ask me, once this matter gets out, the head of the Beicun family will immediately send people to investigate whether the matter is true or not and see if he

His son Kitamura Rai, is he really Kitamura Rai?

at the same time.

The head of the Kitamura family will quickly enter into a hypothetical situation - directly assume that this matter is true.

Then he began to speculate that his son secretly returned to Wenshui County and met with the Lord Takeda in private. He wanted to cooperate with the County Lord to remove him from power and then seek power to seize the throne!

If this is the case, how should he deal with it?

Don't think this is impossible.

Many big families are like this, where power is more important than family ties.

According to the intelligence, the Kitamura family is such a family.

The Beicun family is not an ordinary family, but a local wealthy family in Wenshui County with the most entangled interests.

Rich and distinguished families have the most chaotic relationships.

The head of the Kitamura family has as many as 39 sons, and there is almost no family affection between father and son, and between brothers.

And the most important thing is that the young head of the Kitamura family ran away from home two years ago because of a disagreement with the head of the Kitamura family on a family matter and he left after a big fight.

It was that disagreement that made the head of the Kitamura family understand that he still had a long life, and there was no need to establish the young head of the family so early to divide his rights.

then.

After the young head of the family ran away from home, the head of the Beicun family has not established a new young head of the family for a long time, completely holding all the power in the family firmly in his own hands. "

Li Guanqi stretched out his right index finger, looked at Takeda Ryoko and chuckled: "Given the situation of the Kitamura family, if the Kitamura family leader knew that Kitamura Lei suddenly appeared in the county lord's mansion and had a private meeting with you, the county lord, then he would be most worried.

There is only one thing.

——My son, could it be that he came back secretly and wanted to get rid of me with the help of the county lord? Then replace me? "
