Chapter 186: Playbook, penning, off-site rescue.

Sleep is not an option.

Chi Xiaochi got up, lit the candle, and wrapped his husband in a fur cloak to prevent him from catching a cold.

Having heard him speak at length about the dream, Lou Ying frowned, "Is it a daydream? Or is Shi Tingyun trying to remind us of something?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "Whatever the case may be, something has to be done now."

He said, "Write the fold."

Lou Ying picks up, "Go to Zhennan Pass."

Chi Xiaochi rushed Lou Ying to raise his eyebrows, and called out in a loud voice: "A Ling!

"Zhennan Pass?"

A Shu, who was taking a nap in the outer room, was drowsy when he was summoned inside, and when he heard about this matter, he was instantly refreshed: "But what happened at the general's place?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "It's good to have a month or two of free time, but I'm tired of wandering around like this all day long. Today I had a dream and woke up thinking about my father, so I wanted to go to Zhennan Pass to accompany him and fulfill my filial duty."

Hearing that there is no war, A Shu seems to have put down his heart and sighed: "Gong Zi, why do you mention this again? Last time when you came back from Zhennan Pass, you were covered with wounds, and the wound on your leg took a long time to recover, which is scary to look at. A Shu just hope that the border is safe for years, you can be at home every day, less do some sword things, hire a young lady as soon as possible, spreading the leaves ......."

A Shu nagged Chi Xiaochi to burn his heart.

"All right, all right, I know I'm the only hope for our village." Chi Xiaochi smiled and said, "Please ask Mr. A Shu to sharpen the ink for me, so that I can submit my report in the morning."

A Shu: "......" Ugh.

"Why are you on night duty?" Chi Xiaochi casually asked, "Where's A Ling?"

A Shu went to the desk, took the ink spindle, poured water into the ink stone, ground an ink stone, and then took the empty folders, and stood by the side: "According to the rules, I returned to the mansion before the curfew. A Ling has been there in the first half of the night, I saw that he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, so I told him to take a rest first, and I will serve Gong Zi in the second half of the night."

Chi Xiaochi said, "You don't have to wait here; I will have to discuss the matter of the zhangzhi with Master Gong Zi."

A Shu answered and came to the bedside to help Master Gong Zi out of bed.

Chi Xiaochi spread out the folds and inquired behind him, "A Shu, how is your sister?"

A Shu seemed to be thinking about his own mind, and froze for a moment when he heard this, then Fang Cai smiled and said: ''Thanks to Gong Zi's blessing, everything is fine with A Qing. She has grown quite a bit lately, and her needlework is much better than it was a month ago. She has been saying that she wants to make a blessed garment for Gong Zi according to the tradition of the Southern Border, so that when she wears it, she will be invulnerable to swords and spears. I also laughed at her, she and I are young to enter the customs, drink the water of the Central Plains, eat the millet of the Central Plains, not even seen a few people in the South Border, why do you need to act in accordance with the South Border that set of ......."

Chi Xiaochi said, "She has a heart."

"Gong Zi, why are you so polite?" A Shu helped Lou Ying to sit on the wheelchair, "Back then, A Qing and her grandparents were both infected with the epidemic, if it wasn't for Gong Zi's help, A Qing would still be alive. A Shu is grateful for Gong Zi's kindness, this life is Gong Zi's, Gong Zi can take it anytime he wants."

"Go, go, go, what do I want with your life." Chi Xiaochi said, "You're a nag, you're not old, but you're like a little old man."

The little old man, A Shu, smiles a little blushingly, showing two dimples, and then covers the door.

The doorway closed, Li Yeshu paced twice in front of the door heckling his hands, seemed to have made up his mind about something, turned around and walked towards the courtyard, whispered some instructions to the two servants guarding the courtyard, and went back to his hut.

The Toki family treated their subordinates well, and most of the servants of the inner courtyard had a single house to live in.

He changed into a thick outer clothes, hurriedly dressed properly, and opened the box under the bed suitcase, took a wooden box, open to see, which is a bunch of silver tickets, looks like the number is not expensive.

He used a small lock to lock the box, line to the door, and stopped for a moment, turned back, from the box and took out another small box, did not even have time to look at, crouched on one side of the table, with the inkstone in the ink residue to write a few lines of beautiful words, will be stacked three stacks of paper, stuffed into a small box, and lock, and took the general's house of the waist plate, went to the back door of the general's house.

Uncle Huang, who was guarding the back door, opened the door for him with a yawn, "A Shu, where to?"

Li Yeshu lowered his head, hugged the two small and large wooden boxes, and stomped his feet twice as if he was afraid of the cold: "Gong Zi asked me to go and do an errand."

Li Yeshu is a close confidant of the young general, and is loyal and well-behaved. Uncle Huang did not doubt him, so he let him go out the door, not forgetting to remind him, "Curfew, don't forget to bring your waist tag. I'll leave the door open for you, when will you be back?"

Li Yeshu looked up at the sky and replied, "Before the fourth watch."

With those words, he hugged the box and disappeared into the night.

As soon as A Shu left, Chi Xiaochi turned his head to ask for advice, "Sir, how do you write a zhengzuo?"

At the end of the day, Chi Xiaochi was just a high school dropout who hadn't even written an application to join the party.

The sound of a reeling wheelchair rocking came from the side of the bed.

Chi Xiaochi immediately faced the table, pushed the zhangzuo to the side, and waited for his family's Mr. himself to preach and teach.

Under the shadow of the lamp, a tiger-skin cloak opens up, gently encircling Chi Xiaochi from behind, like a fish in a net.

A slightly cold hand took his right hand, guiding him to push the zigzag back in front of his eyes, and guiding him to grip the quill again.

Lou Ying whispered in his ear, "I've always believed that it's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish."

Chi Xiaochi, who was still thinking about things, was so shaken that he lost all his thoughts, and all he could think of was which was better, braised carp or steamed sea bass.

Lou Ying guided him to write down the title, sign his name, and asked him, "Is it hard to hold it like this?"

Chi Xiaochi shook his head.

"Won't want to throw up?"

Chi Xiaochi shook his head.

Lou Ying wrote a salutation to the Emperor in the top frame of his right hand, while his left hand gently took his pulse: "His face is fine, it's just that his heart is beating a little fast."

As he does his business, he laments, "You used to be able to monitor it in real time, now you can only touch it."

With that, he complimented Chi Xiaochi, "What a good boy."

Realizing that Chi Xiaochi was having trouble breathing, Lou Ying stopped teasing him and just thought to herself, "Why is he so cute?

With one hand, he pressed down on Chi Xiaochi's pulse, and with the other hand, ink characters gurgled out from the end of his brush, rather dashingly like Shi Tingyun's handwriting in the past.

Imitation wasn't very hard for him, he learned it after a few looks.

The zhang folding written very concise, the reason is also to find a very bright and righteous, bluntly Shi Tingyun do not want to waste time, playboy days, willing to go to the military experience, serve the monarch, do the duty of the family members of the time.

If the original master's dream is true, then the disaster of the Toki family began with the hemlock murder.

In a new life, they had to at least stand by Toki's father's side and preserve his life.

Chi Xiaochi calmed down, examined the handwriting on the paper, and was surprised to see that he had even mentioned himself in the zhengzhi: "You are going too?"

Lou Ying rests her chin lightly on Chi Xiaochi's shoulder and gazes earnestly at the pen, "I have to watch you."

"The border is bitter." Chi Xiaochi moved his body, trying to tell him to look at himself and think about it, "Besides, the world line isn't clear, and who knows if the target of the mission is a mole, or something else. If you stay in Wangcheng, you can still help me guard the rear."

"No need." Lou Ying doesn't move, "We'll get the world line."

Chi Xiaochi: "Sir has a way to go back?"

Lou Ying said, "No."

"That ......"

"The mountain won't come through, and I can't get through." Lou Ying was sure, "But someone will figure it out. There's no need to rush."

The afternoon of the day this zhang fold up, the emperor will pass the decree to Shi Tingyun to enter the palace, in the imperial study room to meet.

Noticing that the Emperor had summoned a few imperial princes to come, Chi Xiaochi had three points in mind, his face unchanged, while his heart frowned slightly.

"...... Zhennan Pass?" Having heard the generalization of Shi Tingyun's request, Yan Yuanzhao, who was still unaware of the situation, changed his expression slightly, "But is there some kind of war?"

The Emperor said, "Not so. It was Tingyun who asked to go to the border. When Qing was away for many years, Tingyun was concerned about his father and his country, pure loyalty and filial piety, which is touching."

Several imperial princes looked at each other two by two, vaguely guessing something.

Some bowed their heads in silence, others flickered.

To go to the military training, is the supreme honor, the emperor is still the prince, also in the frontier stability of the peace period has been to the northern army for two years, one to set up a small war, two can also understand the hardships of the border soldiers, three to the face of the glory, the emperor today specially called for all the emperor to come, the intention of the clear.

Yan Yuanzhao hesitated a little, thought carefully, and was about to step out: "My son ......"

Behind him, Yan Yuanheng took a step forward and calmly arched his hand, "Father, my son is willing to go."

Yan Yuanzhao stiffened his gait, steadied himself, and laughed, "Since Thirteenth Brother is willing to go, I won't take anything away from him."

Saying that, Yan Yuanzhao turned back to Yan Yuanheng and gave him a flirtatious wink.

Yan Yuanheng, however, is still in the same disciplined, snowy, green pine form, with a stance like a bayonet wiped by snow.

Yan Yuanzhao was not amused and turned his head, glancing at Shi Tingyun.

Don t go ...... away in a while, the sixth master wants to hear your explanation.

Seeing that Yan Yuanheng volunteered to go, the Emperor was so pleased that he rewarded General Shi with a sword and ordered Yan Yuanheng to tidy up and leave in half a month.

Chi Xiaochi thanked him verbally, but his heart was not at ease.

That's what Chi Xiaochi was worried about.

If last night's strange dream was something that really happened, who knows when General Toki will be hemlocked?

This matter is imminent, but if you do not go to Zhennan Pass without the permission of the emperor, the status of the family, and inevitably will cause some discussion, in the family's reputation is damaged.

Now the other side of the bureau may have unfolded, if you want to not fall into enough, one needs intelligence, and the other needs to take the initiative.

It's not easy to get information.

In order to avoid criticism, the time family is quite clean, rarely dabble in the affairs of the court, not to mention the cultivation of their own forces, the capital intelligence network is very few, so if you want to get a glimpse of the whole picture of the incident, in the final analysis, or need to be the world line.

Fortunately, Chi Xiaochi never counts on luck. It's best to have a world line, and if not, to find another way out.

If you take the initiative, who should you start with first?

Is it Li Yeshu, who went out last night, Chu Ziling, who said he went to his room to rest, but was not actually in his room, Yan Yuanzhao, who had the desire to befriend the original owner, or Yan Yuanheng, who took the initiative and was willing to go to the border?

Inside the main God's space.

089 sat in 023's office, the light blue light pattern of the photobrain projected on the duo's white shirts, sending out a sea-water-like ripple.

089 gave the docking signal for the seventh time, still showing a docking failure.

023 asked him, "Still no contact with 61?"

089 put down the communicator and said painfully, "Yeah. Dad's sad, and he only contacts me when he wants money for living expenses."

023 has long been surprised by his drama, lowered his head to click the console buttons and said, "It's the signal that's bad, isn't it? Besides, 61 is doing a quest, you have to drag him to join you in not doing your job?"

089 Condemnation, "And you don't care about him."

023: "What do I care?"

089 Sighs, "Also. A child is too old for his mother."

023 grimaced, didn't look up, and stomped his scooter chair out.

089's eyes were quick to catch his bare ankles and wrists, and the two sliding wheelchairs slid out together, thumping against the wall and doubling over.

023 struggled to get up and realized that the bird he had been playing for more than 3,000 points had crashed head-on into the wall, with a big "Game Over" displayed on the screen.

023 was furious and lifted his foot at 089, who patiently grabbed his calf and, with a rest on his back, took him face-first into his arms and placed him on the desk, "Okay, okay, pay for it, pay for it."

023 throws the book on the table at him, "Who are you kidding?"

089: "How about I fill in for you on the night shift ten times?"

023 pooh-poohed, "Don't even think about it, if you use your optical brain to download G-V, you can download hundreds of G's in a night, it's cheap, think about it."

089 said, "So I'll call you back?"

023 threw the console at him, "3217 points. Don't leave this door today if you can't beat it back."

089 gave an ouch and picked up the console, maneuvering the bird gently up and down.

023 told him to keep watch and play the game, and went out the door himself, taking two steps and then turning back, saying menacingly, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

089 was busy saying, "Curry."

023 muttered, "Beautiful you. Curry."

With that, he closed the door and headed for the supermarket.

Sitting alone in an empty room, 089 hummed a song and played a game while thinking about what was on his mind.

Last time, when 061 went back into the space, he had apparently used the amulet he had given him.

He suspected at the time that the "in a moment" person had made a move against 61, had tripped, but had not succeeded.

Therefore, this time, he deliberately kept an eye out and started to look for opportunities to contact him after the start of the 61 next mission, but the signals sent out were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no more message.

Looks like there's trouble again.

089 Controlling the game bird with one hand, he stroked the mole of tears under his eye with the other, slowly thinking of a way to deal with it.

Half an hour later.

When 023 returned to the office with the two curries, the office was already empty, and 023's game console was lying quietly on the table, with the game screen on it showing pause.

3,217 points, not a penny more, not a penny less.

023 picked up the game console, which still had the warmth of the man's palm on it.

...... Where did he go?
