Chapter 524 Who is crying
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Chu Ziyu's injuries gradually healed, and everyone in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
Over the past half month, the medicinal fragrance in the east wing has finally faded, but the white orchid on the windowsill has grown greener. I guess no one is pouring bitter medicine into the flowerpot anymore.
The green parrot under the corridor has grown new feathers. Although they are still a little uneven, it can flutter its wings and call out a few words, "How are you, sir?"
This morning, Chu Ziyu stood in the corridor, looking at the bluestone path in the courtyard that was exposed after the snow melted. His fingertips gently stroked the jade pendant on his waist - a bamboo joint carved from black jade, which was warm to the touch.
"Sir." The servant came hurriedly holding a brocade box, "The Marquis ordered it to be delivered."
He opened the box, and inside was a brand new moon-white brocade robe, with fine cloud patterns embroidered on the lapels with silver thread. Chu Ziyu's lips curled up slightly, he recognized the material, it was the ice silk that the Xiliang envoys presented as tribute last month, and they got three pieces in total.
"The Marquis also said..." The servant hesitated, "Tonight at 12:00 p.m., please go to the study to discuss matters."
Chu Ziyu stroked the fine stitches on the brocade robe and suddenly felt a bulge on the inside of the cuff. When he turned it over, he saw a crookedly embroidered "An" character, with messy stitches as if someone had worked overnight.
He raised his eyes and looked towards the study. A familiar silhouette was reflected on the window paper. As if the figure had noticed his gaze, it flashed and disappeared behind the screen.
"Tell the Marquis..." Chu Ziyu coughed lightly, a smile flashing in his eyes, "Just say, Ziyu obeys your command."
As dusk fell, the lights in the house were lit. Chu Ziyu put on the moon-white brocade robe, and the silver hairband shone faintly under the candlelight. When he opened the door, a snowflake happened to fall on his eyelashes.
Her fingertips stroked the secret letter she had just taken from the pigeon's leg. Snowflakes stuck to her eyelashes and melted into tiny drops of water.
"Sir, the medicine..." The servant chased after him with the medicine, but saw that he suddenly put the secret letter close to the candle.
The moment the flames sprang up, the words "300,000 ambushed soldiers in Xiliang" reflected in Chu Ziyu's pupils turned into ashes. He coughed twice as he turned around, and his white sleeves brushed against his lips, leaving a very faint trace of blood.
(System 6872: "Boss! You just burned the real information!")
"Hush." Chu Ziyu chuckled in his mind, "The one in Xiaoan's study is fake, but this one is also fake. There is a small problem with the spy."
Three quarters past ten in the study.
Lin Ci'an stared at the military report in his hand, and drew a deep red mark on "No abnormality in Qingshan Gorge" with a red pen. In his previous life, three thousand of his elite soldiers were buried here - Deputy General Zhou Yan was patrolling with his personal guards, but encountered an avalanche, and the bodies were not found until the spring.
"My Lord." Chu Ziyu's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Urgent news from the border."
Lin Ci'an looked up suddenly. As the door opened and closed, the counselor walked in, wrapped in cold air, with unmelted snow on his shoulders.
When the pale finger presented the secret letter, he noticed a new wound on the inside of the other party's wrist bone - as if it was cut by a sharp weapon.
(It was scratched by the wax seal when the secret letter was exchanged.)
"There will be a heavy snowstorm in Qingshan Gorge in three days." Chu Ziyu pointed to a certain place on the map, "We should ask General Zhou to change the route."
Lin Ci'an's pupils suddenly shrank. After Zhou Yan died in his previous life, he found half a blood-soaked route map in the corpse's arms - someone had changed the patrol route.
"How did you know?" He grabbed Chu Ziyu's wrist fiercely, almost crushing the bone with such force, "Even Pei Zheng doesn't know this news..."
Chu Ziyu groaned in pain, but suddenly laughed: "My Lord, why don't you guess..." As he leaned over, his hair fell and brushed across the back of Lin Ci'an's hand, "How many secrets do you know, Ziyu?"
(System Alert: Darkening value +10! Currently 110/100)
The candle flame exploded. Lin Ci'an stared at the small light brown mole close at hand, and suddenly dragged the person to the table. Military newspapers were scattered all over the floor, and Chu Ziyu's lower back hit the edge of the table, and the pain made his eyes go black.
"This is your second time predicting a blizzard." Lin Ci'an pinched his chin and forced him to look up. "I'm very curious about how you knew about this..."
He rolled his fingertips heavily over the small mole, his voice sounding dangerous.
The candlelight "popped" and a flower of light burst out, and Chu Ziyu's clothes were torn open in half. Lin Ci'an's eyes darkened, and suddenly bit his earlobe: "The spies in the northern border didn't teach you to observe the sky - tell me, who is your accomplice?"
Chu Ziyu groaned in pain, but raised his head and pressed his lips to his Adam's apple: "What if I say...I dreamt about it?"
The military book on the table was suddenly knocked down, startling the guards outside the tent: "My Lord?"
"Get lost." Lin Ci'an extinguished the candle and grabbed his waist in the dark: "Then dream about tonight - how I made you cry and confess."
