My years as a soldier

Chapter 121 Mask

Not allowing Hu Jiuzhang to think about it, not long after, two crisp stingy sounds came from outside the door.

"Mr. Hu, is Mr. Hu there? My master heard that Mr. Li is in good health, so he came to visit him specially."

Hu Jiuzhang remembered this voice, and it was the same as the tone he heard that night. At first, it sounded respectful and earnest, but the background of this voice was calm and indifferent. After thinking about it, it felt weird. It's chilling.

Hu Jiuzhang glanced back at Li Muyun, who was also looking at him.

Li Muyun raised his eyebrows, apparently still unclear about the situation.Hu Jiuzhang swallowed, turned around and said, "I'm here, please come in."

He reached out and opened the door.The old man in the lead looked at him with a smile on his face, and then all his eyes focused on Li Muyun.

"Hehe...it's all my fault for my poor etiquette. You have been here for so many days, but you didn't have time to visit until today. I hope Mr. Li will forgive me."

The old man raised his hand and saluted Li Muyun as he spoke, his movements were unhurried, but this salute was only for Li Muyun, and he didn't pay attention to Hu Jiuzhang who was standing aside at all.

Li Muyun who was on the couch in the room couldn't help raising his brows, his eyes swept between the old man and Hu Jiuzhang, his lips touched lightly, but he didn't answer in the end.

Seeing that Li Muyun didn't speak, the old man obviously couldn't hold back his face. He coughed twice and waved his hands at the group of followers behind him.

"Hey, why are you still here in a daze! Hurry up and move in the gift for Mr. Li, and do whatever you want after moving, Mr. Li is weak, I don't want to see you gang of stinky things blocking your eyes in the house."

With a big wave of the old man's hand, five or six servants behind him immediately filed in carrying gift boxes of all sizes, stacked the things in a corner of the room, and went out from the side of the door with their heads bowed. One person was still standing outside the door waiting quietly, it was the servant of the Yan family that Hu Jiuzhang recognized.

Only then did the old man wave his hands in satisfaction, aiming at Hu Jiuzhang.

Hu Jiuzhang was slightly taken aback, but soon he realized the intention of the old man's move.

Cooperating with this person, I want to ask myself to help close the door.

Hu Jiuzhang was just about to take a step to close the door, but Li Muyun spoke at this moment.

"Old Hu, come and sit down."

Hu Jiuzhang's body that had just turned around turned back abruptly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Li Muyun.But Li Muyun shook his head slightly, with a calm expression on his face.

"Old Hu, we haven't finished our business just now, you can come over and rest for a while, it's not your turn to help the old man if he has anything to do."

When Li Muyun said this, Hu Jiuzhang couldn't say anything more, he could only nod his head, and watched the old man's face fade away from red, and then covered it with green.

Hu Jiuzhang walked over to Li Muyun's couch with an embarrassed expression and sat down, and the young man who was waiting outside the door also stepped forward and closed the door tightly.

He originally thought that the old man's face would not look good after being dismissed by Li Muyun, but he didn't know that in just a moment, the old man's face was full of smiles, and he walked slowly towards Li Muyun.

"That's how it is! Why didn't Mr. Li say it earlier, this Mr. Hu is your friend, so he is also my friend. Hehe, those trivial things, I have to be done by my servants."

The old man looked proud again after a few casual words, which made Hu Jiuzhang's hairs stand on end.

"After talking about my son, the old man hasn't introduced him yet. I'm really rude. The old man's name is Yan Suhe, and he is Zhaozhong's uncle. I wonder if my nephew mentioned it to you?"

Hearing this, Li Muyun and Hu Jiuzhang's eyes flashed at the same time.

This old man who changed his face like turning over a book is actually the current head of the Yan family!

"Cough...you sit down."

With Li Muyun coughing lightly, Hu Jiuzhang recovered from the stupefaction just now.He watched the old man sit down on the soft cushion diagonally opposite Li Muyun, his face kindly greeted Li Muyun, and the strange feeling that had arisen that night instantly filled his whole body.

"Mr. Li, the old man is more than happy to see that you are in good health. These things I asked my servants to send are all supplements carefully selected from our pharmacy. If you want to eat anytime, the old man will call the kitchen I'll do it for you."

"You have a heart..."

Li Muyun didn't know that Hu Jiuzhang went out alone at night, and he didn't know that his brother had already met Hu Jiuzhang.He just felt that this old man was very hypocritical, but in Chang'an in the past, there were many such people, and he was not surprised.Then he let go of his strength and leaned on the soft cushion behind him, as if he was tired and his strength was vain, wanting to send the old man away early.

"Hey, this is what I should do. To tell you the truth, Mr. Li, ever since I heard that nephew Zhaozhong brought someone like you from Chang'an, I haven't thought about coming back to see you for a moment! You should I also know that the Yan family is just a drug dealer in this poor village, with a low status. You are a member of the royal family, and being able to stay in the Yan family is a blessing from several generations of the Yan family. But what about the affairs at hand a few days ago? There are too many, the old man can't get away, and this has dragged on until today."

Yan Suhe said, as if tears were about to be squeezed out, Hu Jiuzhang turned pale when he saw it, but Li Muyun was used to it, so he dismissed it casually with a smile.

"The old man is serious... Fortunately, Zhao Zhong saved me, I should be the one to thank you."

"How dare! How dare!" Yan Suhe suddenly raised his voice, waving his hands at Li Muyun repeatedly.

"Mr. Li, if you say that, you're offending the old man. Don't say it again."

"Hey...you are too polite." Li Muyun responded with a smile.

"It should be! It should be. Mr. Li, in fact, the old man came here this time to ask you, what can I do for you. As long as it can be done by the old man, you can say it, and the old man will definitely do it." Do your best!"

Hearing his words, Li Muyun raised his brows slightly.He glanced at Hu Jiuzhang, and then his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Mr. Yan...Mu Yun is fortunate enough to be rescued by his nephew Zhaozhong, and he is already very grateful. If you say that again...you will embarrass Mu Yun."

"Hey, this old man doesn't dare! Mr. Li, although this old man is just a businessman, he sincerely wants to do something for Tang Dynasty. Are you not even willing to give this old man this chance?"

In the blink of an eye, this Yan Su and his words were already filled with tears. It is estimated that as long as he thinks about it, he will be able to burst into tears in just a moment!

Li Muyun frowned more and more tightly, he looked at Hu Jiuzhang, and Hu Jiuzhang was obviously shocked by the old man's "face-changing" stunt, his eyes were wide open at this time, and he looked totally incredible.

"This……"

Li Muyun sighed softly, his eyes were fixed on Yan Suhe's face.

"If you really want to help me with something... I will say so."

"Please speak, my lord, please speak!"

Yan Suhe quickly agreed.This time it was Hu Jiuzhang's turn to look at Li Muyun. He was afraid that Li Muyun would say something that the old man shouldn't know, but when he thought about it carefully, Li Muyun really didn't know anything important about their safety.

"After the chaos, my father cut off contact with Chang'an in Andong... If possible, I would like to ask sir to help find the whereabouts of my father King Su, I don't know..."

"Yes! Of course."

Yan Suhe immediately agreed, the speed was so fast that even Li Muyun was a little surprised.

"This is a big deal! This old man will do his best. Please rest assured Mr. Li, once there is news of His Royal Highness King Su, this old man will inform you as soon as possible!"

"Then... Mr. Lao."

Li Muyun said calmly, but the surprise in his heart also showed on his face without reservation.

Seeing Li Muyun's astonished expression, Yan Suhe was very satisfied instead, with a shadowy look of complacency in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. Since the old man agreed, he will definitely do it. I also hope that Mr. Li will take good care of his body and don't get sick again."

He spoke earnestly, and then gave Li Muyun a few more instructions, until Li Muyun got a little annoyed with the answers, then got up and left.

Hu Jiuzhang didn't close the door until the master and servant disappeared, and took a deep breath.

When he returned to Li Muyun's bed, his face was rather dignified.

"Xiaobai, let me tell you something."

He whispered, gently holding Li Muyun's hand.

Li Muyun also noticed the solemnity in his tone, and gently stroked the back of Hu Jiuzhang's hand with his fingers.

"Well, you said."

"actually……"

Hu Jiuzhang then told Li Muyun in detail about half a month ago when he went out alone to inquire about the news of King Su, including his meeting with Li Zhaoshuo that night, and the sudden appearance of the servant of the Yan family.

"Xiaobai, the Yan family must be hiding something from us. After that night, no matter how much I went to the county government office to inquire, I still couldn't find the whereabouts of the second young master. At that time, you were seriously ill, so I didn't say anything..."

Hu Jiuzhang sighed silently, and after hearing this, Li Muyun's expression became much more complicated.

Hu Jiuzhang held his hand and pinched it lightly a few times, inserted all five fingers between his fingers, and clasped his hands firmly.

"But I asked Brother Yan. I think he... doesn't look like he would lie. After all, he saved my brother's life. Even if the Yan family really wants to do something, he must have nothing to do with it."

"But... can you confirm?"

Li Muyun asked in a low voice.

"……do not know."

"Hey...Old Hu, don't blame yourself, I believe in you." Seeing Hu Jiuzhang lower his head, Li Muyun hastily increased his tone.

"We are in Yan's house now. Since they have taken care of us for so long, I don't think they will do anything in the short term. Hu, for the present plan, the first thing is to find the second brother. News. Even if you can’t find your second brother, it’s better to ask the person who connected with you that day than to have no clues at all. As for the Yan’s family...we have to talk to Yan Zhaozhong. Is your brother okay? Ri hang out with him? I think...you might go to Ayan first and ask about these things."

While Li Muyun and Hu Jiuzhang were discussing countermeasures, in the county government office, Li Zhaoshuo struggled to hide a corner of his underwear, held the cloth in one hand, raised his right index finger to his mouth and bit it vigorously.

In a moment, blood gushed out from the pulp of his index finger.

Li Zhaoshuo then waved his hand and wrote blood words on the piece of cloth, line after line. When the blood coagulated, he bit it open again with his teeth, biting the fingers of his right hand several times, and this blood book was finally completed.

Li Zhaoshuo read the blood book written by himself several times, then clenched his fists, folded the blood-stained cloth into small pieces, and stuffed them into the slit between his belt.

Not long after, a muffled cough came from outside the door, and Li Zhaoshuo hurried to the door.

"Old Luo?"

"Uh... cough, Mr. Li, these days... are you okay?"

The person outside the door was Luo Weidao, but at this moment, Lao Luo's voice seemed to have no confidence.Ever since he learned that Li Zhaoshuo had been arrested that day, he had been afraid that he would be confessed by Li Zhaoshuo. He was so worried all day long that he didn't even dare to come on duty.It wasn't until a few days later that he found that Cai Gang hadn't found him, and he returned to the government office to be on duty.

When Lao Luo heard about Li Zhaoshuo's beating, he felt guilty for a while, but if he asked him to ask Li Zhaoshuo face to face, he didn't have the courage.It took half a month to go back and forth, and if it wasn't for the old Wen Wen, a handyman in the canteen of the yamen, who came to look for him a few days ago, he still wouldn't dare to come.

"Hey...I'm fine. Lao Luo, I have to ask you one more thing."

Li Zhaoshuo was clearly impatient.In the entire county government, apart from himself and Cai Gang, the only ones who had seen Hu Jiuzhang were Lao Luo. If he wanted to send a letter to Li Muyun, he could only rely on Lao Luo.

"Uh... what's the matter?"

Just by the tone of his voice, he knew that the old Luo Ding outside the door was in trouble again.

"Old Luo, I beg you to help me deliver a letter to Mr. Hu. This is the last time. As long as you can deliver this letter, I, Li Zhaoshuo, will never ask you again!"

He couldn't stop raising his voice.

Of course Li Zhaoshuo knew that Luo Weidao was timid and stingy, so it would be extremely difficult to ask him to do something.But now besides him, Li Zhaoshuo can't think of anyone else.Of course, Lao Wen can do things, but Lao Wen has never met Hu Jiuzhang. If he sent it to the wrong person, Li Zhaoshuo might not be the only one who suffers.

"Uh...this..."

Lao Luo hesitated outside the door, while Li Zhaoshuo was inside, burning with anxiety.

And just as the two were in a stalemate, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the path outside the door.

The hearts of Li Luo and Luo immediately rose to their throats.
