happy day

Not all killers will use a wayfinding dart.Yun Jue himself doesn't need it, what he wants is to hit a hit and complete the task as soon as possible, and he will not do this kind of meaningless bullying.

But some self-important killers like to show themselves in this way.Say hello first, then assassinate, like a cat teasing a mouse.Usually this kind of killer is a veteran, and once locked on the target, he is sure that he will not miss.

Liuli Hutong arrived soon, and Wu Luan searched his brains to say some bright farewell words, but Yun Jue suddenly asked, "Is the old lady in good health recently?"

Wu Luan was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "The old ancestor suffered from a bit of cold a few days ago, the imperial doctor came and prescribed some medicine, saying that the old man is old and cannot tolerate diseases, so he should take good care of him. When I went to pay my respects this morning , is already better, but I can’t get out of bed yet.”

"Oh." Yun Jue leaned back on the carriage, not intending to get off the carriage at all, "Then go down and visit the old lady, and say hello to her."

Wu Luan's eyes widened, he paused for two seconds, then lifted the curtain, and said urgently to the coachman, "Turn around and go home!" as if afraid of Yun Jue's repentance.

Sitting in the rickety carriage, Yun Jue also wondered why he made such a decision all of a sudden.He found an excuse for himself to feel at ease, and used Wu Luan many times. Without Wu Luan, the uncle of the country, it would be difficult for him to complete the task of assassinating Pingxi King Jiang Xun by himself.Now if you do something for Wu Luan, take precautions for him, it will be considered as repaying his previous favor.

When they arrived at Yangliu Street where Wen Zhonghou's Mansion was located, Yun Jue raised the curtain of the carriage window and looked out.Wu Luan asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Yun Jue lowered the curtain with a heavy heart.There is a hidden mark at the entrance of the street, which is the pathfinding mark left by the killer of Xiaoyu Pavilion, indicating that the killer has found this place and is ready to strike at any time.In other words, Wu Luan has less than a month to live.

He looked at Wu Luan, whose lips were slightly curved, trying his best to hide his joy, although he said he came here to return favors, but at this moment his chest seemed to have been punched, and he shrank into a ball in pain.

When entering the mansion, Yun Jue glanced at the unreinforced gate, the courtyard wall that could be climbed over with a little effort, and the yawning guard. hit.Not to mention a seasoned killer who dared to keep the escorts behind, any assassin who just debuted in Xiaoyu Pavilion would have no trouble killing Wu Luan.

The corner of the garden near the lake was under construction, and there were a lot of stones and logs piled up. Many short-dressed craftsmen were moving things in and out, and the scene was very chaotic.

Yun Jue asked: "What are you doing?"

Wu Luan couldn't help it, "I felt that the house was not enough, so I built two more rooms."

Yun Jue frowned, "Have you checked the details of those craftsmen? Be sure to find out everyone's identity and background, and dismiss any suspicious people immediately. Don't recruit new people in the near future."

Wu Luan didn't know why, "What are they doing?"

Yun ignored him, and then asked, "How many guards are there in the Hou's mansion?"

Wu Luan scratched her head, "About five or sixty people."

too little!Yun Jue shook his head, and asked again, "How many people have decent martial arts skills?"

Wu Luan grinned and said: "I haven't practiced with them before, so how would I know? But I heard that there is a man named Chen Erniu who is very strong. He can eat five bowls of dry rice at a meal, and he can lift a copper coin. What about Ding?"

Just as he was talking, a group of lazy guards walked towards him, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled, they were not much better.Yun Jue frowned seeing their frivolous footsteps and their lack of foundation.

The guards bowed to Wu Luan, and Wu Luan pointed to one of them and said to Yunjue: "Here, that is Chen Erniu, I am planning to promote him to be the head of the guards in the Marquis's Mansion."

Yun Jue looked over hopefully, but was disappointed when he saw that man with a silly smile on his face like a black tower.He was just an ordinary young man with a strong body and some strength.

The situation was urgent, and Yun Jue immediately arranged for Wu Luan, "The courtyard wall should be raised and spurs should be placed on it. There must be at least eight guards at the gate. There are too few guards in your house, and it is too late to recruit them now. It's safe. Why don't you go to a familiar general and borrow some troops to come back to guard them, or go to the palace and ask for some skilled Ouchi guards to come back. Also, the palace should strengthen inspections, ten people in teams, day and night..."

"Wait, wait!" Wu Luan interrupted Yun Jue, nonchalantly said, "You were scared out of your wits by the dart just now, you said you threw it wrong. Think about it, I'm just an idle uncle Lord, with the name of Lord Marquis, who has no real power and no military force, who would compete with me? Besides, you know me. Although I am not a good person, I have never done anything too harmful Thing. The most wicked thing is to seduce a few girls to be concubines, and what's more, if you lose your morals after drinking and hurt you, it won't cause you to be killed." He patted Yun Jue on the shoulder, "So, you can put Put your heart in your belly."

Yun Jue was still frowning, but it was hard to tell. Firstly, he was afraid of scaring him, and secondly, he didn’t want to reveal his identity as a killer in front of him. Always good."

Wu Luan nodded indiscriminately, and promised, "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, and I will listen to you."

Yun Jue also knew that Wu Luan didn't listen at all, so he sighed and his expression became more gloomy.

Wu Luan's focus is not on the safety of the mansion, but seeing Yunjue suddenly become such a mother-in-law is very interesting.He slapped his head and figured it out. Yun Jue was so nervous about a broken dart.When he looked at Yunjue again, he couldn't help but the corners of his lips raised, as if drinking a pot of scalded Lihuabai in a world of ice and snow, warm and slightly tipsy.

The old lady was still lying on the bed. After being ill for a few days, she had lost weight and her complexion was not as good as before.She was very happy to see Yun Jue, and took Yun Jue's hand, "It will be good for Luan'er to bring you back. Your parents are in good health. Let Luan'er accompany you back to live for two days when you are free, and look at you The young couple is loving, so your parents can rest assured."

Yun Jue responded meekly, "Yes. You, ancestor, also take care of your health. Your health is our blessing as juniors."

Wu Luan looked at the old grandmother and Yun Jue, the picture was unusually harmonious, suddenly he was in a trance, thinking that it would be good if they were really a family.

While chatting, Ling Xiang, the maid of the old lady, came in, "Old Ancestor, the third master and third wife of my family have arrived in the capital and stayed at the Yuelai Inn."

The Wu family is a big family whose ancestral home is Shanxi.Although Wu Luan's branch is in the capital, they have to go back to worship their ancestors every year, and the rules of their ancestors are not to be forgotten.The third master and third grandmother who came this time are the third son and daughter-in-law of the head of the Wu family clan, and they are expected to take over as the next head of the clan.According to seniority, Wu Luan should be called third uncle and third aunt.The patriarch has a high status in the clan, even though Wu Luan is the lord and uncle of the country, he dare not disrespect him.

The old lady was a little deaf, and asked: "Who came to the capital?"

"The third uncle and third aunt in Shanxi are staying at the Yuelai Inn." Wu Luan leaned closer to the old lady's ear and repeated.

"There's no reason to stay in a hotel when relatives are here?" The old lady arranged for Wu Luan repeatedly, "You go and pick up the third child and his wife in person, and let someone clean up the courtyard, so don't be negligent."

Wu Luan was about to go out when she saw Kui Ma, the woman in charge in front of the old lady, walking in quickly, "Qiu Rui in the backyard suddenly hanged herself, and now she has been rescued."

Wu Luan's affection for Qiurui is deeper than that of other concubines, so he jumped up and ran out when he heard the words.

But was stopped by the old lady, "Since we have already been saved, it is useless for you to go, it will only add to the chaos." Then she said to Kui's mother: "This matter is strange, you go and investigate."

Kui's mother brought a few capable wives to go.After waiting for a meal, he came back with a serious look on his face.

Wu Luan was already in a hurry, and rushed up to ask: "How is Qiurui now?"

Kui's mother respectfully said: "Back to Lord Hou, Qiurui woke up, fortunately she found it early, there is nothing serious."

Only then did Wu Luan breathe a sigh of relief, and murmured: "Well, why are you looking for death?"

Mother Kui pursed her lips tightly.The old lady frowned, and said to the maid in the room: "Except Mama Kui, everyone else should step down first."

Yun Jue wanted to get up, but was held back by the old lady, "You are the head of the house, you should know what happened to your man's concubine."

Yun Jue had no choice but to sit down again.

After all the irrelevant people had gone out, Mama Kui said to the old lady: "Qiu Rui is pregnant."

"What? Pregnant?" The old lady sat up straight from the bed in shock.

Wu Luan was dazed, didn't understand for a moment, thought about it for a while, and smiled smirkly, "I'm going to be a father."

The old lady didn't care about this stupid grandson, she just said to herself: "Is that why the third child and his wife from Shanxi came here?"

Kui's mother nodded and said: "It should be. The slaves interrogated Cuixi, Qiurui's close maid. Cuixi recruited her, and Qiurui was three months pregnant. She was afraid that her masters would know, so she kept it secret. Qin Yurou once went to In Qiurui's yard, I accidentally discovered that Qiurui was pregnant. The two of them had a dirty idea again. It happened that Qin Yurou's ancestral home was in Shanxi, and my wife and brothers were there. The servant girl went to interrogate Qin Yurou again, and she honestly recruited her. I didn't deal with Qiurui at all, but when I found out that Qiurui was pregnant, I asked her elder brother to inform the Wu family in Shanxi, saying that the Wu surname in the capital violated the ancestral precepts, and the concubine was pregnant before the son was born. .”

Wu Luan was still immersed in the joy of becoming a father, and for a moment she missed the point, and asked stupidly, "Why are the two of them not dealing with things?"

The old lady closed her eyes and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you drink Qiurui's Bizitang?"
