The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Mu Jiuchen slowly rubbed the ring on his thumb, thinking to himself: "I just stepped into this place casually, but I unexpectedly found this abnormal person. How did the waiter get in here? What is his purpose?" Mu Jiuchen frowned slightly and decided to wait and see for the time being. So he waved his hand to signal Manager Hu to leave and take care of other things.

However, not long after, a slight and rapid knock on the door suddenly came, and the sound of "knock knock knock" broke the original quiet atmosphere in the room. Mu Jiuchen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at the closed door quietly, as if he could see the scene outside through the door.

Mu Jiuchen was sitting at the table, concentrating on reading the letter Changyun handed him. Suddenly, a crisp knock on the door came into his ears. He nodded slightly, and Changfeng understood and went forward to open the door.

A smiling waiter stood outside the door, holding a bucket of steaming hot water. "I'm sure you must be tired from traveling all the way, so I brought you a bucket of hot water so that you can wash your face and take a rest first," the waiter said enthusiastically.

Chang Feng waved his arm and stopped the waiter who was trying to enter. He took the bucket and said with a smile, "Thank you very much. Just leave it here. We can help ourselves."

The waiter was stunned at first, but then he smiled again and nodded. However, his eyes unconsciously looked inside the house, as if he wanted to spy on something. Changfeng noticed his action, and slightly turned his body to block his sight, and raised his hand to point outside the door.

"Thank you. If you need anything else, we will call you at any time." Changfeng said calmly.

Upon seeing this, the waiter did not dare to stay any longer and quickly responded, "I know, I know. Enjoy your meal, sir. Just tell me if you need anything." After saying that, he turned and left, but before leaving, he did not forget to glance inside the room again with his peripheral vision.

After Changfeng waited for him to leave, he gently closed the door.

"Go check it out!" Mu Jiuchen sat on a chair in the room, his right fist clenched on the table, looking ahead with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see the outside world through the wall.

"Yes!" Changfeng did not dare to delay. He quickly put down the bucket in his hand and responded.

Only Mu Jiuchen and Changyun were left in the room. Changyun frowned and asked thoughtfully, "Master, do you think this matter has anything to do with our trip to the Northern Frontier? After all, we are just taking a temporary rest here."

Mu Jiuchen was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's hard to say. According to the news from the northern border, many strangers have appeared in the border town recently, and their accents are not from the local big merchants. These people are unidentified and their origins are suspicious..." He paused, then continued, "The royal family of the Jin Kingdom is now in constant civil strife and can't take care of themselves, but we can't rule out the possibility that they sent spies to the border town to gather intelligence."

After hearing this, Chang Yun became more confused and puzzled: "Could they really be spies from the Jin Dynasty? Isn't it said that the Jin royal family is in chaos now? Where do they get the energy to cause trouble in the border town?" He scratched his head, really unable to figure out the reason.

Mu Jiuchen shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not sure. He stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the sky in the distance. Seeing this, Changyun also followed silently.

There was silence outside the window, with only the rustling sound of the leaves in the breeze. However, beneath this calm appearance, there seemed to be an undercurrent. Mu Jiuchen knew that this trip to the northern border would not be smooth sailing, and he had to remain vigilant at all times.

In the backyard of the inn, there stood a simple stable. At the moment, the waiter was busy shuttling between the stables, helping the guests to take care of the horses. However, just as he finished feeding the horses, an unexpected scene happened - he did not leave immediately, but sneaked into the stable.

He tiptoed to a dilapidated horse trough, squatted down, and carefully reached under the trough. In the blink of an eye, he took out a small and exquisite bird cage. Then, he quickly opened the cage door and fished out a plump pigeon. He skillfully took out a piece of paper from his arms and stuffed it into the signal tied to the pigeon's leg. Then he stood up, raised his arm without hesitation, and released the pigeon into the sky.

After releasing the pigeons, the waiter picked up the brush and began to scrub the horses in the stable as if nothing had happened. His movements were skillful and natural, as if nothing had happened before.

Just when he was about to go back to the front, he happened to meet Brother Li coming out of the back door. The waiter had a smile on his face and hurried to greet him.

"Brother Li, if you have anything to do, just tell me to do it."

"I have to go feed the horses. The shopkeeper has specifically instructed me to do so. These gentlemen's horses cannot be neglected. They must be fed with top-quality fodder." Brother Li said as he prepared to get fodder.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, don't worry. How can you do such rough work as feeding the horses? I have already fed the horses and cleaned them!" The waiter said, pointing proudly at the hay in the trough. Brother Li looked towards the stable and saw that the horses were in high spirits and had shiny coats, which showed that they were well taken care of. His eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth rose.

"Well, you did a great job. Keep working hard. I will never treat you unfairly." Brother Li nodded with satisfaction, and then gently patted Xiaoer on the shoulder to express encouragement and praise. But when Brother Li turned around and walked inside, if Xiaoer followed him, he would find that there was no smile on his face.
