On the Importance of Finishing Work

West Hills.

Originally, Shi Yue planned to go by himself, but due to various reasons, he brought two little tails with him.

This made Shi Yue have to sigh, as expected, they were all young people.

If a mature and rational adult learns such a big and troublesome news, he will either pretend not to know, run as far as he can, and if he is more conscientious, he may report to an official or something.

Of course he didn't mean that Mr. Lu who "pretended not to know" had no conscience - that guy hadn't seen any troubles in most of his life. In his eyes, this matter might not really be a big deal, and maybe he didn't take it to heart...

In short, after guessing that there are soldiers in Xishan, even Cui He, who looks very stable, has no objection to going there quietly, let alone Pang Jianbi, who looks eager to try.

Shi Yue felt that if he didn't take these two little ones with him today, he might get the news that these two little ones sneaked in tomorrow.Rather than letting the two of them bump into each other in the Western Mountains, it would be better for him to lead people in.

When Pang Jianbi first entered the mountain, he was still very vigilant, holding the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist, ready to draw it out at any time.

But after walking into the mountain for half an hour, he met a rabbit, and Pang Jianbi began to doubt whether the rumor that there was a beast in Xishan was true.

Although he could hear the threatening low growls of beasts from time to time, but he didn't see a single hair, Pang Jianbi suspected that it was a ventriloquist pretending, and then thought, which ventriloquist would perform in the deep mountains and old forests?

...So, it is indeed a beast.

He also remembered what his father had said that if he went into the mountains, he could find the old hunters nearby to lead the way. They walked in the mountains all year round and could judge the territory of the beasts based on the roar of the beasts.

...Ayizu was an Orion?

Pang Jianbi couldn't help but take a look at Shiyue. Seeing the thin and thin figure, he immediately denied his own thoughts: Ah Yi's physique, even a standard longbow, might not be able to move it.

Is it a coincidence?

Thinking of this, he raised his vigilance again, paying attention to the surrounding situation.

After walking forward for a long time, Shi Yue suddenly raised his hand, signaling the two to stop.

Pang and Cui didn't know why, but they had made an appointment before entering the mountain, and after entering, everything followed Shi Yue's arrangement, so although they didn't understand at the moment, they followed Shi Yue and hid their figures.

It is really a test of patience to hide your body and stay still, but seeing Shiyue's silent and breathless appearance, Pang Jianbi is not easy to disturb.

After a long time, Pang Jianbi felt that his lower body was going to be numb from the cold, so he couldn't help changing his posture. Cui He made a gesture, wanting to ask what he was doing.

They came to find the place where the soldiers were hiding, not to wait for the rabbit.

— Waiting like this, will the hiding place pop up by itself?

Pang Jianbi was slandering like this, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound, he froze for a moment, and immediately tensed up, not daring to move again.Following the voice, I saw a pair of arms suddenly stretched out from the dead branch coiled around the mountain wall, and groped to push the dead branch away, revealing an opening where several people walked side by side. Inside were two people wearing gray cloth clothes. The person came out of the mouth, and after a little tidying up, the dead branch returned to its original appearance, and there was no such a big secret passage behind it.

Pang Jianbi:! ! !

#Stunned.jpg#

——It turns out that the place where the soldiers are hidden will really pop up by itself? ! !

But how did Ah Yi know to wait here?How did such a large hole be covered?Why didn't he see it just now?

A series of questions went through his mind, and Pang Jianbi moved faster than his brain, and immediately jumped up to chase him. When he moved, his calf felt numb, and he froze in place with a hideous expression.

When I went to see it again, there was no one there.

He beat his chest and stamped his feet immediately, if he caught those two people quickly, he might be able to ask something.

Just thinking about this, Shi Yue stood up, handed each of them a mask, and motioned for them to cover their faces, and then hung a semicircular jade pendant on their body, planning to go inside like this.

Pang Jianbi was taken aback for a moment, and quickly pressed Shi Yue firmly, winking at him desperately.

Shi Yue: "What's wrong?"

Pang Jianbi: So I can talk...

——Then why did he hold back for so long?

He lowered his voice and asked, "You're going to go in like this?!"

Shi Yue pointed to the jade pendant on his body, and said with a smile: "With this, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Pang Jianbi got angry because of his understated tone, "Don't you know who are there?! The two people who came out just now have blood in their bodies, and they have at least three or five lives..."

Shi Yue raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Pang Jianbi to have such good eyesight.He nodded as approval, but still said, "It's not a big problem."

Pang Jianbi felt that he simply couldn't stop the brat from wanting to die. Before he threatened him violently, he turned his eyes to Cui He for help, trying to convince Shi Yue with words and words.

Cui He looked at the jade pendant thoughtfully.

Received Pang Jianbi's call for help, Cui He pondered for a while, and did not stop him immediately, but asked more and more: "How sure are you?"

Sure enough, it is convenient to talk to smart people...

Shi Yue rolled his eyes and smiled, "At least [-]%... Even if something happens, it's still okay to take you out."

Cui He nodded and said "OK".

Pang Jianbi was about to speak in agreement, but hiccupped because of choking.

……it is good?

???

!!!

…………

Pang Jianbi thought Cui Wu was really crazy.

But two against one, obviously Pang Qilang's objection was ineffective, so he had to tense up and followed the two into the cave.He thought, after all, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, so if anything happened, he would be able to protect the two of them.

...Mainly to protect Ah Yi.

After all, even though Cui Wu looked like a frail scholar, he didn't lose in a fight.

What happened next was extremely psychedelic to Pang Jianbi...

They just walked in like this, and after showing up, not only were they not confronted with swords, but they were also introduced to a wave of local distribution structures inside, and then they were politely invited out.

Pang Jianbi was on the way out, still not understanding what was going on.

——This is indeed the place where the soldiers were hidden as previously guessed.

This is at the feet of the emperor, privately raising soldiers, secretly storing weapons...

After discovering it, no matter what, it must be a "sword of swords and shadows" and "fighting in blood", no matter how bad it is, it is also a "spy shadow"?

Why did they go in and sneak around, as if they were visiting guests for dinner, and the attitude of the other party was so considerate that people felt that it was their own territory.

Here Pang Jianbi was in a daze, but Cui He confirmed his previous thoughts, and he said in a somewhat complicated tone: "That day in the West Market... did you do it on purpose?"

Deliberately leading Wu Er to the alley, so as to get this jade pendant.

Shi Yue smiled, "It's just a coincidence... I didn't expect him to chase after me."

Cui He looked at the young man's bright and smiling face, and couldn't help but soften his tone, "I wanted to tell you to be careful with him...but now it seems redundant."

Shi Yue: "My dear friend, I feel very ashamed."

Cui He really laughed out this time, and the little lump in his heart was immediately calmed down because of the word "friend".

When they entered the capital to say goodbye, Cui He looked at the cloth towel in his hand for covering his face, he was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized something.

He caught up with Shi Yue who had already turned the corner, and said seriously, "...I'm sorry."

Shi Yue shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, it doesn't have much impact by talking about it."

Pang Jianbi, who was at a loss, was almost confused by the conversation between the two people all the way, and wanted to ask, but it seemed a bit stupid for him to ask alone when the two of them knew it well.

In order to maintain his "big brother" image, he insisted on holding back all the way.

With a deep expression of "I know everything" and "I don't tell the truth"...

At this moment, after separating from Shi Yue, he finally seized the opportunity to grab Cui Wu and ask, "What the hell is going on?! You are so polite to us?"

Cui He glanced at him, but there was no one around. He lowered his voice and said quickly, "... Duke Lu."

Pang Jianbi: ... What happened to Duke Lu?

These people hide half of what they say, so they can't make it clear to others all at once? !

——Is that little saliva so precious? !

Although there was a burst of slander in his heart, Pang Jianbi still honestly worked out the relationship in his mind.

Isn't Lu Guogong just Wu Fatty's own father... He has a prudish and sour look on his face, and he still takes concubines at home after he is over [-] years old, and he is not afraid of being caught off guard.

Speaking of Fatty Wu, the jade pendant that Ayi deliberately brought on just now looks familiar...

wait wait wait! !

That's the one Fatty Wu always shows off, right? !

——Just now Cui Wu asked Ah Yi "was it on purpose", referring to the time when Fatty Wu chased Ah Yi there?

Ah Yi deliberately set a trap for Fatty Wu, and then took the jade pendant.

Those people inside today are so polite, as if they regard them as their own... In other words, they are all "Lu Guogong" people? !

This time, did they regard them as Fatty Wu's subordinates?

Pang Jianbi found it hard to understand—just because of a piece of jade pendant? !Are the people there stupid? !

Cui He could tell what Pang Jianbi was thinking by looking at Pang Jianbi's expression, so he just shook his head lightly and said, "It's not that simple."

That place is in the depths of the Western Mountains, and there is no way to get in without someone leading the way. Even if a pedestrian hits it by mistake, he must be covered in mud and embarrassed.

Moreover, that jade pendant is not a simple jade pendant.Those are two semicircular jade pendants that fit perfectly together, one for Lu Guogong's son and Wu Er each.This was originally a tribute from Nanli three years ago. His Majesty heard that there were two brothers in the Wu family, so he gave it to him personally.It is indeed worth Wu Er to show off everywhere.

And more importantly...

Lu Guogong got the blue eyes of the sage, and his every move was watched by others.This matter of privately raising soldiers must be managed by the sons of the world.As we all know, compared to the "mediocre" eldest son, Lu Guogong dotes on his youngest son very much.

Usually it is the eldest son's business, but now the second son suddenly sent someone here...

What will your subordinates think?Closest relatives and dearest brothers in this world... Although Wu Er has a bad reputation, who knows that he didn't deliberately hide his clumsiness?

Presumably these dead soldiers don't want to get involved in the affairs of the master's family... Naturally, they ignore some minor awkwardness.

……

Pang Jianbi thought for a while, but he still couldn't figure it out, but he was always open-minded, and soon gave up thinking about it. Instead, he asked another question, "Why did you suddenly apologize to Ah Yi just now?"

Cui He had already arrived at the door of his house at this moment. Hearing this, he looked up at the plaque at the main entrance that said "Edict to build the Chu State Mansion".

After a long time, he said softly, "Because... my surname is Cui."

"Ah?" Pang Jianbi was stunned for a moment, obviously not quite understanding the meaning of the answer.

He followed Cui He's line of sight, and the shining gold letters reflected the light in the sun.

He seemed to have a little enlightenment, but when he turned his head again, Cui He had already entered the mansion through the side door, the dark door was closed against his nose, Pang Jianbi took a step back, and almost jumped up to scold his mother.

——Cui Wu has such a temper!I really don't know who can stand it? !

Inside the mansion, Cui He looked at the mountains, rocks and flowing water in the mansion, quietly paying attention.

... This trip to the West Mountain, Ah Yi has prepared so carefully, it must not be as simple as a random encounter or a temporary idea.

He knows, or he is checking Duke Lu, checking...the Tenth Prince...

...the battle of the princes.

Cui He didn't guess which prince Ayi was following. Even before today, he thought that Ayi really came to Beijing to play as he said.

He was originally annoyed because of the other party's concealment, but when he caught the face scarf, he suddenly felt relieved.

——It was precisely because I regarded him as a friend that I hid it...

Otherwise, as long as he shows up with the two of them today, he, Pang Jianbi, and even the Cui family and the Pang family will be forced to stand in his team...

Even this time, it was Pang Jianbi and him who asked for it.

Not only did he not use the two of them, he even changed the entire plan because of the temporary addition of the two of them.

He couldn't believe that Ah Yi had been planning for so long just to go in and see what was going on inside.

...It's just because of caring for the two of them.

His friends treated him with sincerity, but he felt jealous. It was really... the actions of a villain.

But his friends treated him with sincerity, but he couldn't return the sincerity... just because his every move not only represented him alone, but also the family behind him.

……

I don't know which prince can make Ah Yi... all run for him?

Cui He pondered for a while with lowered eyes, but in the end he raised his hand to stop the passing servants, and asked, "Has grandfather returned home?"

Go ask grandpa.
