The Bandit’s Strategy

[Chapter 48-The Tangled Home of Zhao Da] The soft Lord Wen

The sky was completely dark, and the cave was full of fires and the aroma of food. The surroundings were silent, and there were occasional sounds of insects outside, making the night as quiet as water.

After eating the last bite of the porridge, Wen Liunian said contentedly, "It's delicious."

"Full?" Zhao Yue asked.

Wen Liunian rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm going to wash the dishes."

"I'm coming." Zhao Yue said, "It's cold outside."

Wen Liunian squinted at him with a smile, "Yeah."

Zhao Yue walked out of the cave calmly, the roots of his ears were a little...red.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks neatly, Zhao Yue sat by the fire and added some dry wood to it.

"When shall we go back?" Wen Liunian asked.

"It's up to you." Zhao Yue replied.

"Then sit for a while." Wen Liunian looked around, "Are there any beasts in the mountains?"

"Yes, but I won't come here. The terrain is too steep and there is no food below." Zhao Yue said, "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid." Wen Liunian said, "just ask casually."

Zhao Yue didn't answer any more, he didn't admit it because he was courageous... But he could also figure out that scholars always love face.

The deeper the night, the colder it became. Wen Liunian wrinkled his nose and sneezed.

"It's cold?" Zhao Yue dropped the stick that was playing with the fire in his hand, "Let's go, take you back to the palace."

"I don't want to go back." Wen Liunian said.

Zhao Yue:...

Don't want to go back?

"I have to think of the case and file when I go back." Wen Liunian whispered, "headache."

Zhao Yue said, "Looking at sleepless sleep and food, I thought you were having fun."

"No one is happy about the murder case." Wen Liunian pouted, "If possible, I would also like to sleep at home every day and be a prefect."

"If you don't want to go back, just sleep here for the night." Zhao Yue said, "There are dust beads in the quilt, which is very clean."

"Yeah." Wen Liunian replied, but sat still and continued to stare at the fire in a daze.

Zhao Yue stood up and went to the bed, took the thin blanket and wrapped him around, sitting next to him, "Still thinking about a case?"

"No." Wen Liunian said, "I was thinking of hot and sour kimchi and crab bean curd."

Zhao Yue:...

"Since I got out of Shuzhong, I have rarely eaten it." Wen Liunian's tone was very regretful.

Zhao Yue said, "It's going to drool."

Wen Liunian turned his head and looked at him with a smile.

The two were so close, Zhao Yue panicked for no reason.

"Sleepy." Wen Liunian yawned wrapped in a quilt.

Zhao Yue wanted to say that, so he went to bed, but he was a little reluctant. He felt that it would be nice to be able to sit by the fire with him like this, even if he didn't say anything and didn't do anything.

Wen Liunian curled up and closed his eyes. I was really tired recently, and when I arrived in a quiet place, I simply emptied myself completely, and soon fell asleep.

Zhao Yue picked him up and put him on the bed, leaning on the edge of the bed, and staying all night.

Or maybe I watched it all night.

At dawn, Zhao Yue felt that... the nerd was very good-looking, and also very good-looking.

In Shangfu, Zhao Wudao said, "I heard that the master did not return overnight?"

Lu Chai nodded.

Zhao Wu said again, "My lord hasn't returned all night."

Lu Zhui said, "That's good."

…

Zhao Wu began to feel that listening to his wife was right, and the gift should be prepared earlier.

His face was crisp|Itchy, Wen Liunian wrinkled his nose and sneezed a big sneeze. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yue holding a dog's tail grass in his hand, looking at himself.

"Get up." Zhao Yue said, "If you don't go back, everyone will be anxious."

"Morning." Wen Liunian sat up and stretched hard.

The sun outside is very good, but the water stream is in a valley, the sun can't come in, and it is still a bit cold, so Zhao Yue didn't let him go out of the cave, so he boiled some hot water to wash him, and cooked fish porridge for breakfast.

After eating a full stomach, his body warmed up. After Wen Liunian walked out of the cave, he unexpectedly said, "It turns out that the scenery is so good." Exuberant and dense.

Zhao Yue originally wanted to say that what Lu Zhui likes are good places, but he didn't say it later-to save the nerd from saying "worthy to marry" and the like.

"Can you come again?" Wen Liunian asked.

Zhao Yue nodded, "Naturally."

"It's great." Wen Liunian smiled, "Next time we can bring some rice cakes and steamed buns from the government office, and we can also cook vegetable broth."

"Good." Zhao Yue agreed.

"But do you want to ask the second master first?" Wen Liunian remembered one more thing, "After all, it's his place."

"No need." Zhao Yue didn't even think about it.

"Really?" Wen Liunian emphasized, "Gentlemen do not take advantage of others."

Zhao Yue said, "Lu Zhui still has countless such valley caves in the mountains. It doesn't matter if you miss one or two."

"That's good." Wen Liunian looked back, reluctant to give up—he really liked it.

"Let's go." Zhao Yue said.

Wen Liunian felt very comfortable in his arms.

Zhao Yue went up and down, stepped on a few huge boulders, before falling to the ground above.

Wen Liunian still closed his eyes, and did not let go of his hands.

Zhao Yue was a little stiff, and his head was empty for a moment.

"Are you here?" Wen Liunian opened his eyes cautiously.

"Yeah." Zhao Yue was uncomfortable, letting go of him.

"Really high." Wen Liunian cautiously moved to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

Zhao Yue took his hand to prevent the nerd from accidentally falling down.

The hands are also very soft.

Wen Liunian grabbed a wild flower from the ground, "Go, go back."

"Am I carrying you?" Zhao Yue said, "It will be faster."

"Good." Wen Liunian agreed.

Zhao Yue twitched the corners of his mouth, "You are refreshing." He thought he would be polite, who would want to be so conscious.

Wen Liunian lay on his back and said honestly, "I don't like walking."

"So I don't have any strength in my hands and feet." Zhao Yue walked forward carrying him on his back.

"Why do you have to have strength?" Wen Liunian said, "I rely on my brain."

Zhao Yue disdain, "wrong reason."

"Yeah." Wen Liunian wrapped his arms around his neck, shaking a small wild flower in his hand in front of Zhao Yue.

"Am I heavy?" Wen Liunian asked after walking for a while.

Zhao Yue said, "Heavy."

Wen Liunian said, "Oh."

Zhao Yue said, "Come down and go by yourself?"

Wen Liunian refused, "No."

The corner of Zhao Yue's mouth raised, and he backed up again.

Turning a corner of the mountain, Wen Liunian was drowsy, feeling the sun shining on his back very comfortable, but just after closing his eyes in a daze, he suddenly felt a sudden change.

"Hush." ​​Zhao Yue made a silent gesture at him.

After the two of them were on the huge boulder, the space was very narrow. Wen Liunian asked him in a low voice, "Someone?"

Zhao Yue nodded, holding the Jiyue knife handle firmly in his right hand.

Wen Liunian was a little nervous.

Zhao Yue wrapped his left hand around his waist, ready to kill at any time.

The footsteps on the mountain path were getting closer and closer, Zhao Yue looked through the gap between the stone and the blade of grass, and saw a few young disciples walking here, looking like they were dressed up from Mujiazhuang, carrying a basket in his hand. There are some green weeds inside, and some small white flowers blooming on them.

Several people were talking while walking down the mountain, with some dew on their shoulders, apparently going up the mountain before dawn.

Zhao Yue patted him on the back, signalling not to be nervous.

Wen Liunian was held in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat in his ears, he felt...in fact, he was not very flustered.

Everyone walked away gradually, Zhao Yue let go, "It's okay."

"Are you from the Tiger Head Gang?" Wen Liunian asked.

"No." Zhao Yue said, "It's Mujiazhuang."

"Mujiazhuang?" Wen Liunian frowned, "How can they go up the mountain."

"It looks like I came to gather herbs in the mountains. There are a lot of wild white grasses in the basket." Zhao Yue said, "Take some back to Zuo Hufa, she might know the purpose."

"Yeah." Wen Liunian nodded.

A small bug fell from above, just on the tip of Master Wen's nose.

…

Before he yelled out, Zhao Yue reached out and covered his mouth firmly.

The little bug had fallen to one side, but Wen Liunian's hair was still standing on his body, and his face was pale.

The palms were warm and warm, and the lips were very soft. Zhao Yue felt a little itchy in his heart again, letting go of his hand to bring the person out.

"Are there any bugs on my head?" Wen Liunian still asked.

"No more." Zhao Yue's voice was a little uncomfortable—the palm of his hand seemed to have the warmth of the talent, and he couldn't help but want to clenched it.

Thinking of the little black beetle, Wen Liunian shuddered unconsciously.

"Let's go, pick some wild white grass, and then go down the mountain." Zhao Yue stepped forward.

Wen Liunian said "Oh" and wiped his nose as he walked.

Zhao Yue:...

Are you so scared?

The tip of his nose has been rubbed to glow red, and Wen Liunian is still tirelessly wiping it with a hand towel.

"The nose is about to fall." Zhao Yue was helpless.

Wen Liunian said, "Itching."

"Thinking about it myself." Zhao Yue said, "It's just an ordinary ladybug without poisonous gas. How can it itch."

"It's itching." Wen Liunian continued to scratch.

Zhao Yue took him to a small river, rubbed his nose with his fingers and wiped it dry with a towel, "Is it all right?"

Wen Liunian looked at him with a red nose.

Zhao Yue said, "There are so many problems."

Wen Liunian defaulted.

There were a lot of wild white grass by the river, Zhao Yue picked a handful and handed it to Wen Liunian, carrying him on his back and walking down the mountain.

Inside the palace, Huatang was discussing something with Zhao Wu, and there were many dark guards around.

"Morning." Wen Liunian stepped in.

Zhao Wu quickly put away a piece of paper on the table.

Flower tang:...

"What are you doing?" Wen Liunian wondered.

Zhao Wu said uncomfortably, "Ah."

Before Huatang spoke, the dark guard said with enthusiasm, "We are reading the love letter."

Zhao Wujiang rubbed the congratulatory gift list in his hand again.

"Love letter?" Wen Liunian was a little surprised.

"Yes, yes." The dark guards nodded collectively, "The love letter Xiao Wu wrote to Zuo Hufa back then is simply touching."

Huatang is rarely tangled.

Zhao Wu had to default.

"So that's it." Wen Liunian said with a smile, "It's really a good story."

"Yes, yes." The dark guard nodded again, and we couldn't help but weep.

"What is the adult holding?" Huatang changed the subject.

"It just so happens that I also have something to ask for." Wen Liunian put the wild white grass in his hand on the table, "I wonder if Zuo Hufa can recognize this thing?"

"Natural." Huatang nodded, "It can be regarded as a heat-clearing medicinal material, called White Snake Flower, which can grow from the northeast to the middle of Shu, and can be seen everywhere."

"The local name is Yebaicao." Wen Liunian recounted what he had seen in the mountains.

"People from Mujiazhuang are collecting medicine?" Huatang said, "White snake flower is very commonly used when refining Gu, and it can be used as a wet firewood smoker."

"It means that the people in Mujiazhuang are refining Gu?" Wen Liunian asked, "Do you know what kind of Gu poison it is?"

Huatang shook his head, "I can't guess, I can only make Lord Shangbao pay more attention."

Wen Liunian nodded, "The officer will go to the barracks later."

Opposite Shangfu, Zhao Yue saw Lu Zhui reading in the courtyard as soon as he returned.

"Morning." Lu Er master smiled and greeted.

Zhao Yue sat opposite him without saying a word.

Lu Zhui:...

I clearly didn't say anything, why would I still be stared at?

Zhao Yue said, "I went to Cangmang Mountain Ghost Stream last night."

Lu Chai hurriedly said, "You can go to the master, it doesn't matter how long you go."

Zhao Yue said, "This place will belong to me in the future."

Lu Zhui:...

Why? !

Zhao Yue said, "If you don't want to—"

Lu Zhui breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yue continued, "That's no use either."

Lu Chai's smile froze on his face.

Zhao Yue said, "Thank you very much."

Lu Zhui had no choice but to say, "You are welcome."

Zhao Yue took the knife into the bedroom.

Lu Chai had a headache and stretched out his hands to rub his temples.

Obviously it is his business, why is it always himself who suffers?

At the military camp outside the city, everyone was eating lunch. Mu Qingshan took a chicken paw and gnawed very seriously, with greasy fingers.

Shang Yunze said, "I didn't expect you to like these."

"It's delicious." Mu Qingshan said, "the chicken wings are also delicious, and the duck collarbone is also delicious."

Shang Yunze helped him wipe his mouth, "I will buy it for you every day if I like it."

"Then it's boring." Mu Qingshan said, "It's just fun to have an occasional meal."

Shang Yunze handed him a bun, "Eat one, or you will be hungry in the afternoon."

Mu Qingshan leaned over and took a bite, and continued to gnaw the chicken paws.

Shang Yunze laughed, holding the bun while feeding him.

The sergeant next to him had long been used to seeing the two of them so intimate, but he didn't feel anything unusual, and they chatted while eating.

"Have you heard of the bizarre murder in Wuniu Village outside the city?" Yiren said.

"Naturally, I heard that Lao Wu has been a writer for his whole life, and I can't stand it even if I heard it." Another person tweeted, "The whole body is dark."

The rest of the people also joined in the fun, babbling about the version they had heard, and the description was extremely detailed. After Mu Qingshan heard it, he lost his appetite and said, "Don't eat it anymore."

Shang Yunze was dissatisfied, turned his head and glanced at the few sergeants.

Everyone was unaware, and they gathered together to talk about the heavens and the earth. They heard that the corpses had been transported to the prefectural office. Maybe they would be able to find out the reason soon.

"Let everyone talk." Before the Lord Shangbao spoke, Mu Qingshan stretched out his hand to hold him, "This is not our boundary, so I don't care what others say."

"Next time I will take you to the house for dinner." Shang Yunze wiped his hands clean, "Go for a walk?"

"Yeah." Mu Qingshan stood up, but saw Wen Liunian walking towards this side.

"My lord." Mu Qingshan said hello, "I just planned to go back to the government office in the afternoon."

"Master, something?" Wen Liunian asked.

"It's not a big deal." Mu Qingshan said, "Everyone has been talking about the murder in Wuniu Village in the past few days. It sounds a bit weird, so I came back and asked the adults to see if there is anything I can help."

"Not yet." Wen Liunian said, "The body will not arrive until the afternoon, and Wu Zuo and Zuo Hu Fa will conduct an autopsy together."

"The case is strange?" Mu Qingshan asked.

Wen Liunian nodded, "It's really strange."

Mu Qingshan said again, "How can Lord Shangbao help me?"

Shang Yunze stood beside him, feeling very happy when he heard it, but after he was happy, he felt that he was devilish again-he seemed to have foreseen the scene where he would never go to the west after he got married.

"It's not necessary. Shangbao stayed outside the city on Sunday. It's already very hard." Wen Liunian said.

Shang Yunze smiled, "You are polite, it's not hard work at all." This is the truth. You can see this small wood every day. The two of them are almost inseparable. They eat and walk together, chat together and drink tea together, and can still enjoy it at night. Sleeping relatively, talking about some warm and trivial things, not to mention staying outside the city for a month, even if it is three or five years, I am afraid it will be happy.

"What is unusual about the military camp recently?" Wen Liunian asked.

"No." Shang Yunze walked with him to a deserted place, "Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong are the same as usual, even the military camp is rarely out, most of the time they stay in the camp, and no longer Like before, I always think about attacking Chaomuya, but I just ask occasionally."

"Stay in the camp most of the time?" Wen Liunian rubbed his chin.

Shang Yunze nodded, "Last time I asked casually, according to Mu Wanlei, he was feeding the Gu King, and he said that the suppression of bandits is entirely up to the adults."

Wen Liunian said, "I saw Mujiazhuang's young disciple in Cangmang Mountain this morning, and went to the mountain to collect a lot of medicine. Zuo Hufa said it was used for refining Gu."

"Mujiazhuang people, it is not strange to refining Gu." Shang Yunze said, "It's just that why did the adults go to Cangmang Mountain?"

Wen Liunian:...

Mu Qingshan worried, "Why didn't your lord speak, did something happen?"

Wen Liunian coughed twice, "Master, don't worry, this officer is just going to relax."

Mu Qingshan was surprised, "Go to Cangmang Mountain to relax? Although Cangmang City is not big, you can still find a place to relax. Why do you need to run into the mountains? Why are you not afraid of encountering the bandits of the Tiger Head Gang?"

Shang Yunze smiled deeply.

Wen Liunian continued to cough, "It's okay, the head of Zhao Da is very familiar with the mountains and there is no danger."

Mu Qingshan:...

Home of Zhao Da?

Shang Yunze pinched his back waist lightly.

Mu Qingshan shut up with a sense of interest.

"My lord has something to do outside the city?" Shang Yunze changed the subject.

Wen Liunian nodded, "I also ask Lord Shangbao to pay more attention to it in the future, and make sure you don't let Mujiazhuang make any trouble."

"Naturally." Shang Yunze said, "Don't worry, adults, I will do my best."

"For hard work and master," Wen Liunian said, "After this matter, the official will definitely give a drink to thank you."

"My lord, you're polite." Mu Qingshan said, "This is my job, so how hard is it."

Shang Yunze really wanted to say, I'm here to set the wine, so it's good for you to prepare a gift.

I really want to abduct people home immediately.

After dinner, several corpses were sent to the government office. The people along the way wanted to see but didn't dare to see, all of them were whispering.

Hao Zuo Fang is located in the courtyard, and there are secret guards guarding outsiders who can't come in, so Zhao Yue and Lu Zhui also came to see what happened.

Wen Liunian stretched out his hand to uncover the white cloth, but Zhao Yueyi grasped his wrist.

The others look around tacitly and have special avoidance skills.

"Is there something to do with the master?" Wen Liunian was a little puzzled.

Zhao Yue said, "It's been more than ten days, I wonder what it will be like." Even if he is afraid of bugs, he still needs to look at this?

"If you want to solve the case, you naturally need to look at the corpse." Wen Liunian said, "When I was in Yunlan City, there was an explosion of a painting boat. The river was full of corpses. It was much more tragic than this."

Zhao Yue still didn't want to let go.

Wen Liunian struggled to open the white cloth cover on the corpse.

Zhao Yue frowned slightly.

The corpse was as stated in the dossier. It was scorched and black as if struck by lightning, not to mention the facial features, and it was extremely difficult to distinguish between men and women.

Even after walking around the rivers and lakes for many years, Zhao Wu still had some stomach discomforts, but Huatang and Wen Liunian checked it carefully, and there was nothing abnormal.

Zhao Yue couldn't help but looked at each other with Zhao Wu. In each other's eyes, he found a trace of "the same people who fell in the end of the world"... with emotion.

"It's not like being struck by lightning." Wen Liunian said.

"It was definitely not struck by lightning." Huatang also shook her head, "not to mention how likely it is that seven people were struck by lightning at the same time. The corpse alone does not seem to be killed by lightning. After more than ten days, it is not bad or rot, it is more like poisoning and dehydration."

"What poison?" Wen Liunian asked.

"You have to check before you know." Huatang said, "Give me three days."

Wen Liunian nodded, "There are hard-working guards."

"If you look at it this way, you won't find anything, you guys go back and rest." Huatang said, "I will stay here with Xiaowu."

Looking at the corpses, Wen Liuyoung sighed lightly.

Zhao Yue looked at him with an anxious look on his face, and felt a little frustrated for no reason, and a little aggrieved--it was aggrieved that he couldn't help at all.

Nerds should be smiling, what does it look like now?

After coming out of Haozuofang, Wen Liunian sat in the study, wanting to deal with official duties for a while.

Zhao Yue stopped in the courtyard.

Lu Zhui said happily, "I'll go back first, please feel free to be the master."

Zhao Yue stepped into the study room without hesitation for a moment.

Wen Liunian is making tea.

"Still not sleeping?" Zhao Yue sat across from him.

"Can't sleep." Wen Liunian handed him a cup of tea.

Zhao Yue said, "Even if you don't sleep for ten days, those corpses won't tell the ins and outs of the matter by themselves."

"I know." Wen Liunian said, "It's just that I can't help but sleep or not."

Zhao Yue said, "Look for another half an hour, and then go to rest."

Wen Liunian said, "Okay."

The candle flame beat slightly, and Zhao Yue sat aside holding the knife, quietly accompanying him.

Wen Liunian was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, and then he couldn't take care of it when he was busy.

From Zhao Yue's direction, he can just see his profile face, the outline is very elegant and delicate, and the lip color is very light. Sometimes when he talks to himself, it looks very attractive.

The head of Zhao Da thought to himself that this is probably the best-looking nerd in the world.

After finishing the file in his hand, Wen Liunian stretched out and picked up the next one, but was suppressed.

Zhao Yue knocked on his nose, "Say it for half an hour."

"So fast?" Wen Liunian was a little surprised.

"Sleep." Zhao Yue said.

Wen Liunian said, "Look at the last little bit."

Zhao Yue said, "No."

"Just one." Wen Liunian stretched out a finger.

Zhao Yue said, "Half is not allowed."

Wen Liunian said, "But I am not sleepy."

"Sleep if you don't feel sleepy!" Zhao Yue stared, and before he could speak, he picked up the person and strode back to the bedroom.

Wen Liunian:...

The dark guards were eating supper, and they opened their mouths in surprise.

This kind of rapid progress...

Seeing that the happy event of Master Wen is approaching, we have not yet prepared the gift money. This is really anxious and it is worth asking the palace lord to raise the monthly money.

As the head of Zhao Da was so fierce, Wen Liunian had to compromise and called for hot water to wash and undress, and obediently climbed into bed to see him.

Zhao Yue had a headache, "Could your eyes be brighter."

Wen Liunian said, "Not sleepy." You said it early, but you didn't believe it!

Zhao Yue poured some calming powder into the incense burner.

Wen Liunian asked, "What is it?"

Zhao Yue said fiercely, "Spring|Medicine."

Wen Liunian:...

The dark guard sucked air-conditioning outside the window.

We heard nothing.

"Get down." Zhao Yue sat on the side of the bed.

"What are you going to do?" Wen Liunian looked innocent, and then shrank into the quilt.

Zhao Yue was dissatisfied, "Why do you have to ask everything?"

Wen Liunian said, "Zi said, I am not ashamed to ask."

Zhao Yue had chest tightness, so he reached out and turned him over, and ordered, "Get down!"

Master Wen:...

Across a thin layer of shirt, Zhao Yue rubbed his shoulders with just the right amount of strength.

"Um..." Wen Liunian snorted softly.

Zhao Yue's expression froze, "What is your voice?"

Wen Liunian closed his eyes, "comfortable."

"I have nothing to do more walking in the future." Zhao Yue continued to massage him, "Do you know?"

"I know." Wen Liunian was obviously perfunctory.

Zhao Yue gritted his teeth, "Tomorrow I will throw away the chair in your study."

Wen Liunian's voice was lazy, "Okay."

The big hand wandered all the way on the back, and finally stopped on the waist.

"Itching." Wen Liunian hid for a while.

Zhao Yue twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's all meat."

Wen Liunian said brazenly, "Well, I have a lot of meat."

Zhao Yue pinched two more and said in disgust, "How can there be an upright official like you."

"What should an upright official look like?" Wen Liunian looked back.

Zhao Yue said, "Thin."

Wen Liunian squeezed his waist and smiled.

"Go to sleep." Seeing him laugh, Zhao Yue was also a little bit happy.

There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and Wen Liunian closed his eyes, but soon fell asleep.

Zhao Yue helped him press the quilt and got up and got out of the bedroom.

In the early morning of the second day, Wen Liunian took people to see the progress of the road construction. He didn't come back until after lunch. Huatang happened to come out of the courtyard, "My lord is back, I'm just about to go back to work."

"What did you find?" Wen Liunian asked.

"Yes, but there are not many clues." Huatang said, "Those corpses have strangulation marks and scratches on their waists, as if they were **** with an iron whip."

"Does the trace look like during his lifetime or after his death?" Wen Liunian asked again.

"It's not like before his death." Huatang said, "It should have been tied with an iron whip after his death."

"So strange?" Wen Liunian frowned slightly.

"The big master also came in the morning, and after asking about the situation, he said he would go to Wuniu Village again." Huatang said, "it should have already set off now."

"Go again?" Wen Liunian was surprised when he heard this.

"Probably because I didn't get anything last time, so I was unwilling." Huatang said in his words, "The master really wants to help adults."

Wen Liunian touched his nose, "Can you say when you will be back?"

"After five days." Huatang replied.

"With Lu Er headed?" Wen Liunian asked again.

"No." Huatang shook his head, "The master went alone this time."

And in the next door Shangfu, the head of Lu Er is pouring and drinking.

I never expected that Chao Mu Ya, the master, would have such a day willingly to run errands for the government...
