On the willow branches on the moon, the stars are dim.The cold wind made the two lanterns on the door dangle endlessly, and the candles were flickering.After a while, one of the lamps fell into complete darkness.

At the second watch, a well-covered carriage creaked and stopped at the door.The driver of the carriage led three people from the carriage, all of them were tall and thin men, dressed elegantly, wearing light powder and daisy, their long hair was either tied in a light bun behind the head, or simply loosened.

The door of the house was opened, and the old man who walked out saw the extinguished lantern, shook his head as if muttering something, and urged forward: "Everyone, please come in quickly, my lord has been waiting impatiently, he has already been drinking for a while."

The three obeyed.The old man deliberately walked behind, and only when the three of them had gone away did he lightly address the young man: "Does anyone outside know about this?"

The latter shook his head: "You have told me repeatedly, I naturally remember that I went to the museum and specially selected three people who had just arrived, as if they didn't know the general, at that time just keep some money with them."

The old man nodded, sighed, and blamed himself: "I don't know how long I can keep it a secret, in case Yuanwai and the eldest lady come back and find something, what should I do..."

The servant was also helpless: "Who teaches the general to be so good, no wonder these years..."

"Okay, Mo Duo said, let's do what we need to do." The old man interrupted, stepped through the door, turned around and pointed to the extinguished lantern: "Don't forget to ask someone to light this lamp."

The servant was impatient: "It's late at night, and there are no other visitors. Why do you order it? Let's talk about it tomorrow."

The gate was closed, and the young man drove the carriage to the backyard.The night was calm, but the lantern in front of the door swayed with the wind, one light and one dark, which looked a bit weird from a distance.

In the next hour or so, the sound of Qin, Se and Shengxiao could be heard from time to time in the house, as if they were having a banquet.At midnight, the music stopped.After another hour, the door of the house was opened again, and the three people who walked out walked in disorder, staggering, it seemed that they were quite drunk.The carriage circled around from behind, and the three of them were going down the steps with each other's support, when they suddenly saw a man in black walking out from nowhere, standing in front of him, his eyes swept over the three faces with no make-up, and he said abruptly: "Everyone, Are you having fun tonight?"

When he came back to his senses, one of the young men laughed wantonly: "It seems that what the officials in the room said is not bad, and there are indeed some officials who are questioning outside!"

Another young man, who seemed to be more drunk, took two steps forward, with a frivolous voice: "How about having fun, so what if you don't have fun? Or, why don't you go back to the hall with us and play for half the night?"

The other two laughed loudly when they heard the words, and surrounded them one after another, teasing the interrogator to the utmost.

This was unexpected, the man in black was at a loss for a moment, he backed up and wanted to get away, but fortunately the boy driving the carriage stepped forward to dissuade them, so the three retreated resentfully, turned around and wanted to get on the carriage.

"Which young man out there forgot his outer robe?" Suddenly an old man chased him out and asked there.

The three people standing in front of the car looked at each other, then burst into inexplicable laughter, and then saw a man in thin clothes staggering inwards, while responding loudly: "It's me..."

The old man said: "The boy has brought the clothes, Xiao Lang will wait here."

However, the drunk man obviously didn't listen, and swayed inward. The old man had no choice but to help him up the steps.Just after entering the gate, I heard the voice of the servant inside: "Here it is, Xiao Lang's clothes!"

After a while, the man in the outer robe staggered out again, at this moment the carriage had rushed to the steps and waited.The old man helped him down the steps and sent him to the carriage, and the other two also got into the carriage with the help of the young servants and sat down, and the carriage drove out.

It's four o'clock.

On the desolate roadside outside the southern city, a carriage stopped silently.Not long after, a man and a horse came galloping from behind and stopped beside him.But seeing the curtain of the car slightly lifted, a woman's face poked out, and after looking at the man on horseback, there was a sense of relief on her face.

The visitor dismounted from the carriage, and the carriage drove away.

Holding hands and embracing each other, the car was silent for a long time.

"Brother, he..." He spoke first, and the woman's voice was full of worry.

"If there is no news, it is good news." The man replied lightly, his voice soft but firm.
