Through the otherworldly peerless

Wushuang has been a little troubled recently.

Because he was caught by Uncle Feng to learn how to read!And Uncle Feng finally discovered the fact that his master is illiterate.

"My lord, it doesn't matter if others are illiterate, you must be able to read, otherwise you will be laughed at if people find out about it in the future."

"I'm not illiterate, Uncle Feng, it's just that your characters are different from the ones I can read!"

"Isn't that illiteracy?"

"No, I just learned differently from you."

"Then may I ask my lord, besides you, is there anyone else who can recognize the words you wrote?"

"...Maybe...probably...should be, you don't."

"That's illiteracy!"

"I……"

Wushuang argued with Uncle Feng for a long time, but finally lost to Uncle Feng. Fortunately, Uncle Feng did not directly let Wushuang follow the group of girls to learn how to read. face.

Today, Uncle Feng is giving Wushuang a little trouble again, and Wushuang feels that he has returned to the time when he was in kindergarten.

"My lord, this is east, west, south, north, this is four, face, eight, square..."

Wushuang lowered his head, and after less than half an hour of learning, his neck hurt so badly, he rubbed his cervical spine, raised his head and said to Uncle Feng, "Uncle Feng, aren't you tired of teaching like this?"

Uncle Feng was holding a stick in his hand, and the stick was still stained with mud. It turned out that Uncle Feng taught everyone to read in this way these days. He wrote words on the ground with the stick, and everyone gathered around him to see what he wrote on the ground. Words, while reading, while reading, with their fingers in the air to describe the nothingness.

Feng Bo is much older than Wushuang, Wushuang can't bear it, and he certainly can't bear it, so he sat on a stool beside him with his legs up, raised his head and said to Wushuang: "Silk is too expensive, it's too wasteful to use it for teaching and calligraphy. That’s why this old man came up with such a method, just wronged your lord.”

Wushuang suddenly said: "I almost forgot, we don't have paper now! Anyway, girls who study only study for half a day, and the rest of the day is idle, why don't you try papermaking!"

Uncle Feng was taken aback: "My lord, what is papermaking?"

Wushuang smiled and said, "It's a hundred times cheaper than fine silk, and a hundred times easier to use!"

But this thing is different from the crossbow. Although Wushuang knows that the earliest paper was made of waste hemp materials such as hemp rope heads, rags, and old fishing nets, and was made by frustrating, pounding, frying, and baking, but it is specific to frying and baking. To what extent, he actually didn't know. After thinking about it, he could only try it slowly. This kind of work is delicate and effortless, which is just suitable for women. So that afternoon, Wushuang arranged for these students' women to make paper. a job.

"Of course, the work will not be for nothing. Whoever can make paper first will be rewarded with an extra five taels of silver!"

"Five taels of silver! My God, I've never seen so much silver in my life..."

For an ordinary family, three liang of silver is enough for a whole year's expenses, especially in a place like Baicheng. Although food is more important than silver, five liang of silver is really a huge sum of money.

Wushuang was so generous, the women immediately exploded. When Wushuang talked about papermaking, they were all confused and at a loss, and now their faces were full of fighting spirit.

"My lord, the villain will definitely work hard to make paper for the lord!"

"The villain is too!"

Wushuang nodded: "Then you are lucky."

After the girls left, Uncle Feng immediately said to Wushuang: "My lord, five taels of silver is indeed a lot, besides you are not very rich, so you have to save money to buy beans..."

Wushuang waved his hands and said, "Papermaking is a big deal. If they can really make it, five taels of silver is nothing at all. In the future, when Baicheng becomes the largest paper factory in the Xia Dynasty, we will have endless money!"

Uncle Feng thinks that Wushuang's thinking is a bit too good?But seeing his confident face, Uncle Feng couldn't bear to say anything more, so he could only do this first, and wait until the so-called paper was actually made.

Wushuang was soundly asleep when Bing woke her up.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Wushuang rubbed his eyes, looked at Bing and said, "What's wrong?"

B whispered: "Someone is coming."

Wushuang woke up immediately, sat up and said excitedly: "It's so late, is it Jiuba?"

B shook his head: "If it was Lord Jiuba, I wouldn't be able to find out, so it must not be Lord Jiuba."

"Oh..." Wushuang's expression was obviously a little disappointed, "That's what you said."

B glanced at the door: "My lord, he is here."

Sure enough, just as C finished speaking, someone knocked on the door, very softly.

Wushuang winked at B, and B immediately went to open the door, but Wushuang called out on the way: "Wait!"

Bing looked back at him, Wushuang pointed at him: "Clothes."

Bing suddenly realized that he quickly messed up his well-dressed clothes, untied his outer shirt and put it aside, then went to open the door again.

The door of the room was opened, and standing outside was sneaking around, looking like Xi who was afraid of being seen, Xi looked up and saw C, and said in a low voice: "The slave is here to see Lord Wushuang."

Bing pursed his lips: "Come in."

Xi entered the door, Wushuang had already got up, he came out wearing a coat, Xi saw Wushuang, and immediately stepped forward and said: "My lord, I didn't intend to disturb your rest by coming here late at night, please, my lord..."

"Okay," Wushuang interrupted Xi impatiently, "There is no need to talk about polite words, you came to me so late, did you already buy beans for me?"

Xi nodded and said: "My lord's order, I will do my best! But... what the other party means is, my lord, do you have to show some sincerity on your side?"

Wushuang raised his eyebrows: "Do you want money?"

Xi Yan smiled and said, "It's just a deposit."

Wushuang: "I haven't seen this bean yet, so you ask me for money? You tell him, pay with one hand and deliver with the other."

"My lord, Baicheng... he is different from other places," Xi explained, "merchants are not allowed to enter or leave here, so the beans can only be shipped back with the purchase of the city lord's mansion, so there is no way to pay for it with one hand. The delivery has been made, so, what the other party means is that you pay half first, and he promises that all the beans you want will be delivered to you by a catty, and then you pay the remaining half, what do you think?"

"I don't think so," Wushuang said, "Pay half of it? What if he doesn't give me beans after paying the money?"

"No, no, no," Xi said, "This man has known me for decades, and he is by no means a businessman who doesn't trust his word."

"Then do you think, my lord, I'm like someone who takes things and doesn't give money?" Wushuang questioned Xi, pointing to his nose.

Xi was about to break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency...you are a dignified nobleman, of course it is even more impossible to do such a thing."

"It's good that you know," Wushuang said, "Go and tell him, I want to get the goods first, and then give the money."

Xi looked embarrassed: "My lord, this...isn't that good? How about I discuss it with the other party and change the deposit to [-]%?"

Wushuang resolutely said: "No, I will give you the money after you take the beans."

Xijian Wushuang made it clear that he didn't want to get in, and said helplessly: "Then...well, then, the slave will go talk to the other party."

Wushuang glanced at Xi, and said, "Why is it so difficult for you to do such a trivial matter? If you are like this, let them send someone to bring the beans in with you. The caravan is not allowed to enter Baicheng. Is it up to you? Isn’t it easy to get someone to come in? When the time comes, I’ll take the beans and give the money to the other party in person, won’t it be enough?”

Xi was taken aback, he... really didn't expect it!

Wushuang: "Then this matter is settled, you have arranged it, and you can tell me anytime, don't worry, it's not your fault."

Xi flattered her with a smile: "Your Excellency was just joking, how could you be taking this slave's account?"

Wushuang: "Not necessarily."

The smile on Tin's face froze instantly.

Wushuang said again: "I am teasing you, you see you are scared."

Xi: "Heh, heh heh."

Seeing that Xi stood still, Wushuang asked, "Why, what else do you need?"

Xi thought for a while: "My lord, there is something that I have thought about for a long time, and I think I should tell you. I really can't bear to see you kept in the dark!"

Wushuang sat on the stool: "Okay, tell me."

Tin's eyes rolled around: "Your General Wu... He has now replaced General Lei Jia and became the general defending the city of Baicheng. Do you know this?"

Wushuang nodded: "I know, of course I know about such a big thing, didn't Lei Jia come to me because he was demoted?"

Xi whispered: "Then do you know why General Lei was suddenly demoted?"

Wushuang: "Maybe I did something wrong? I'm not very familiar with General Lei, so I don't know exactly what happened."

Xi: "I said I did something wrong, but General Lei was not wrong. It was General Wu. General Wu went to find Mr. Xiangkang himself, and asked Mr. Xiangkang to take the position of the general who guards the city of Baicheng."

"He wants it himself?" Wushuang blinked, "Will he give it to Xiangkang if he wants it?"

Xi moistened his throat: "Your Excellency has a good point in asking. The reason why Mr. Xiangkang agreed is naturally because General Wu exchanged things with Your Excellency."

Wushuang narrowed his eyes: "What?"

Xi raised his head: "...Loyalty is General Wu's loyalty to Lord Xiangkang. From now on, Lord Xiangkang is the only master of General Wu, and he only works for Lord Xiangkang."

Xi looked at Wushuang and saw that Wushuang's expression was not very good, so he boldly continued: "My lord, this servant just thinks... You and General Wu have worked so hard all the way to Baicheng, but who knows that he turned around and joined the prime minister?" Mr. Kang, it's a little too cold."

Wushuang pursed her lips: "It's really not a thing!"

C glanced at Wushuang, but said nothing.

Seeing the hope, Xi secretly rejoiced and coughed lightly on his face: "My lord, I feel that if a person like Wu Hui who betrays his trust and abandons his master continues to stay by your side and Mr. Xiangkang's side, something will happen sooner or later."

"Why don't you tell Xiangkang about this?" Wushuang said suddenly, "After all, Xiangkang is your master, right?"

Xi sighed, and said with a sad face: "My lord doesn't know something, so Wu Hui didn't know what tricks he used. Now that Mr. Xiangkang trusts him a lot, he can't listen to these words at all."

Wushuang: "No way? Aren't you Xiangkang's most trusted subordinate? Why does he even believe your words?"

Xi smiled wryly: "Now General Wu is the person whom Mr. Xiangkang trusts the most. Since ancient times, his loyal words are harsh. I have reminded Mr. Xiangkang several times, but Mr. Xiangkang has reprimanded the slaves several times for the sake of General Wu, and even forbade the slaves to speak of General Wu again." Half of the sentence is not."

Wushuang looked surprised: "Xiangkang actually believed that Wu Hui didn't believe in you? After all, you have been with him for so many years and have been loyal to him. It is chilling for Xiangkang to do this! If it were me, it would be absolutely impossible to treat you like this of!"

Xi burst into tears: "My lord..."

Wushuang patted Xi on the shoulder: "Don't be too sad, don't worry, you can do things for me well, and I will never treat you badly in the future."

Xi Que said: "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely do what you tell me, but I am worried that Lord Xiangkang will be deceived by villains, so I really don't know what to do."

"You are really sincere to Xiangkang." Wu Shuang sighed enviously.

Xi knelt down and kowtowed to Wushuang: "My lord, I implore you, you must help my lord, and you must not let someone with a heart take advantage of my lord. Then General Wu secretly... and provokes the relationship between you and my lord." , Trying to drive a wedge between the two of you, this kind of person is too scheming and terrible, I am afraid that in the end, my lord and my lord will be used by him, my lord!"

"What?" Wu Shuang said angrily, "Wu Hui is still talking about me in front of Xiangkang? That bastard! What did he say bad things about me in front of Xiangkang?"

Xi looked terrified, as if he realized that he had said something wrong just now, and hurriedly said to Wushuang: "Yes, it was the slave who said the wrong thing, the slave made a slip of the tongue, and the slave deserves to die."

Wushuang was so angry that he chased Xi and asked, "What did he say about me? Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly!"

Xi had a hesitant expression on his face: "Slave, I dare not say..."

"Just talk!" Wushuang lost his patience, "Where do all these nonsense come from!"

Xi was trembling, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "General Wu said...that you are a wimp. A calamity like Mandrill, if you can’t solve it by yourself now, leave it to my lord, let my lord clean up the mess for you, in short... In short, there are still many unsavory words, slaves, slaves, I really can’t say it, my lord!"

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable!!" Wu Shuang stood up and stomped his feet, "Well, Wu Hui, you dare to insult me ​​like this, just wait for me! Wait for me!"

Wushuang was so angry that he couldn't even speak, and the room was full of temper tantrums.

Bing walked up to Xi and said, "Stop kneeling, go back first."

Xi stood up hesitantly, looked at C and said: "Then, my lord..."

"I've never seen a lord become so angry." Bing pursed his lower lip, "Go back first, I'm sure your lord's anger won't go away for a while."

Xi was annoyed: "It's all my fault. I made your lord unhappy. I'm not here to block your eyes. Then my lord will trouble you to take care of me."

C: "Taking care of adults is what I should do."

Bing opened the door for Xi and asked Xi to leave. After hearing Xi's footsteps coming out of the yard, Bing turned around and said to Wu Shuang: "Your Highness, you have gone far."

Wushuang immediately stopped running around, went to the table and poured himself a cup of tea: "Oh my god, I'm so thirsty."

Bing walked up to Wushuang: "Are you going to file a complaint in front of Mr. Xiangkang tomorrow?"

Wu Shuang swallowed the cold tea in his mouth: "Go, of course, Wu Hui is obviously about to succeed, I have to go and get him some more firewood."

C said, "What about tin?"

Wushuang bared his teeth and smiled: "He delivered it to the door by himself, so don't blame me for using him."

B thought for a while: "Will Xi blame you afterwards for not giving us beans?"

"He won't," Wu Shuang said with a smile, "Although Xiangkang won't touch him for a while, he will definitely be more dissatisfied with him. For his own money, even if he has complaints about me in his heart , will only think that I am stupid, dare not do anything to me, if Xiangkang kicks him one day, at least he can give me another way."

Bing suddenly said, "Your Highness is wise! Your Highness is indeed the most intelligent person in the world. He is resourceful, well-educated, and talented. God...God... Godly calculation, oh, and..."

"That's enough, that's enough," Wushuang sighed softly, "that guy B has so many compliments, it's really embarrassing for you, follow him to learn all these words, do you know what they mean? You just Follow up?

C said honestly: "B said, in short, they are all praise words, and if they are used to praise you, you can't go wrong."

"..." Wushuang said helplessly, "Stop learning this from Yi in the future."

On the second day, Wushuang went to see Xiangkang early in the morning as Xi wished.

Xiangkang asked someone to go to the workshop secretly last night to check, and found that Wushuang had indeed asked people to make a lot of stone mills. Knowing that Wushuang was not lying, he probably wanted to sell the stone mills for money, but he heard that Wushuang came to him early in the morning. Xiangkang thought that what happened last night had been brought to light.

While asking Xi to dress him, Xiangkang asked, "What expression does he have? Is he angry?"

Xi thought for a while: "Master Wushuang's complexion is indeed not very good."

Xiangkang frowned: "It shouldn't be, didn't the person who came back last night say that he was not found?"

Xi: "Maybe...Master Wushuang is looking for you because of other things?"

Xiangkang: "What can he do with me? Isn't he asking for food again? He really thinks I've been taken advantage of, and wants what he wants?"

Xi Gangan said: "Your Excellency, I'd better meet Mr. Wushuang first, let's listen to what he has to say, we can guess here and there, but we can't figure out why."

Xiangkang snorted softly: "Anyway, it's definitely not a good thing for him to find me!"

Xi pursed his lips and said nothing, but quickly helped Xiangkang get dressed, and followed Xiangkang to the hall to meet Wushuang.

"My lord, I don't know why your lord came to find the next official so early?"

Wu Shuang raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes: "I heard that Wu Hui is working for Master Xiangkang wholeheartedly?"

Xiangkang was taken aback, and then said: "What do you mean, my lord? General Wu is now the general defending the city of Baicheng, but he is the general of Baicheng, and he is also your general. What about the lower officials? Who the hell is gossiping in front of adults?"

Wushuang glanced at Xi, Xi was startled, and thought to himself: This trash won't confess me, will he?

Fortunately, Wushuang didn't say anything, he just glanced at him, then turned to Xiang Kang and said, "Don't worry about who I listened to, anyway, I don't agree with this matter, why should an ungrateful person like Wu Hui be the city guard general?" !"

Xiangkang: "My lord, is there any misunderstanding? My lord, General Wu was brought by you. You know his skills. Now the city guards are more and more impressive under the hands of General Wu. At this moment You asked me to dismiss him, isn't that a bit... the meaning of killing a donkey?"

Wushuang stared: "Why do you just kill the donkey? Let me ask you, did he say... bad things about me in front of you?"

Xiangkang was startled, glanced at Xi, and quickly looked away. He said to Wushuang: "My lord, have you heard such nonsense from a tell-tale villain? Let alone General Wu, it is impossible for him to say such nonsense." In this case, even if he really dares to say it, the officials will never let him off lightly!"

Wushuang said again: "Then he promised to help you kill You Jiuba?"

Xiangkang: "About this matter... isn't that what you mean, my lord? Lu Ji can't kill You Jiuchai by himself, and asked General Wu to help. Didn't you all agree yesterday?"

Wushuang: "Look! You Jiuba saved Wu Hui anyway, but now you ask Wu Hui to go back and kill him, and Wu Hui agrees immediately, which shows how heartless Wu Hui is! How can such a person Do you believe him? Master Xiangkang, I am doing it for your own good, I have been with him for so long, and he treats me like this, so no matter how nice you are to him, it is, it is also an unfamiliar dog!"

Xiangkang: "Your Excellency, if General Wu hears that, I'm afraid it will chill General Wu's heart."

Wushuang snorted softly: "I'm afraid of him? He's still being kind to me, and scolding me behind his back! Does he think I don't know?"

Xiangkang: "Your Excellency misunderstood General Wu."

Wushuang gritted his teeth: "Forget it! Tell you that you don't understand. Since you don't believe me, then I don't want to talk nonsense with you here. In short, I don't want to see Wu Hui again!"

After finishing speaking, Wushuang turned his head and left angrily.

Xiangkang looked coldly at Wushuang who was leaving, and asked Xi beside him in an unrecognizable voice: "Xi, how do you think Baili Wushuang knew that Wu Hui was speaking ill of him behind his back? Could it be that someone went to talk to Baili?" What did Li Wushuang say?"

Xi was startled, and said in a low voice: "General Wu repeated the words of insulting Lord Wushuang over and over again, maybe some servant overheard it, and it's unknown how it reached Lord Wushuang's ears."

Xiangkang pursed his lips and thought for a while: "What you said is moral, General Wu really didn't take Baili Wushuang seriously from the very beginning."

Xi: "My lord, this servant feels that what Master Wu Shuang said just now is not completely unreasonable. If this You Jiubai really saved his life, but now he wants to kill You Jiubai. If he is so ungrateful, I am afraid that one day he will also kill You Jiubai." I will treat you like I did to Wushuang and You Jiuba, my lord."

"Enough!" Xiangkang was furious, and stretched out his hand to grab Xi's neck, "Xi, how many times have I told you that I'm not that good-for-nothing Baili Wushuang, if Wu Hui really dares to have second thoughts about me, I will He will kill him before he has a second heart! And you, you are jealous of Wu Hui, and it’s fine to say a few words of resentment in front of me on weekdays, but now you dare to go and gossip in front of Baili Wushuang? Xi, I See if you're tired of living, aren't you!"

As soon as Xiangkang let go, he directly overturned Xi to the ground.

Xi didn't have time to cry out for pain, so he knelt down in front of Xiangkang and said, "My lord, my lord, this slave did this for you. This slave is so sincere to you, I really don't want to see you being bewitched, my lord!"

"Who can confuse me? Who dares!" Xiangkang yelled angrily, he was full of conceit, Xi was so confused that he said such a thing and challenged Xiangkang's bottom line, "Xi, do you think that I really don't want to kill you?" you?!"

Xi's face turned pale. He didn't expect that Xiangkang really wanted to kill him?

Xiangkang took a deep breath: "This is the last time, if it wasn't for seeing that you hit the right one, it made me completely believe that there is no possibility of collusion between Wu Hui and Baili Wushuang, and I would have killed you just now! Go! Go! Go as far as you can!"
