After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

After eating, the three of them walked out. As soon as they went out, Wen Zhimiao said to Chu Qiu: "Follow that man."

"The man who just came in alone and couldn't understand the menu."

"Yes." Chu Qiu gave the order quickly.

"I'll tell you later." Wen Zhimiao didn't want to say too much to Shi Wanyue on the street.

The three of them did not return to the carriage this time. This place was not far from the place where they were going to watch the performance, so Wen Zhimiao booked a private room in a teahouse along the coast.

After all, although the performance is on the water, it does not move all the way along the moat, but has a fixed range.

After entering the reserved private room, He Yuanyao asked, "Miao Miao, what happened to that man just now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be from Lujing Kingdom, and his status should be not low." Wen Zhimiao said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" He Yuanyao was still a little confused.

Shi Wanyue thought about it carefully, "The man's clothes are not bad, the materials are excellent. If he is an ordinary spy, he should not wear such clothes. Even if the spy has clothes arranged by the superiors, he does not need such good materials. Of course, judging from his clothes, he may be a wealthy businessman, but if he is a wealthy businessman doing business, why would he come to a place like this to eat alone?"

"That's it?" He Yuanyao still felt unconvincing.

"Of course not." Wen Zhimiao took over the conversation: "Sister, what you said is one aspect. I just saw his behavior and way of speaking. Although he speaks the Central Plains dialect, his speaking habits are still from Lujin, and some of his actions are not like those of a Central Plains person."

"He has always been in a relatively alert state. This is a professional habit, very similar to Chu Qiu and the others. The calluses on his hands don't seem to come from farm work, but from years of martial arts training."

"There is another point. He has a bone whistle hanging around his neck. This is what makes me sure of his identity. Many people in Lujin have such a bone whistle. Many people who come here to do business have it."

"But his bone whistle is different from the merchant's. The pattern on the bone whistle is a symbol of identity. I'm too lazy to go into details, but he is at least a member of the royal family."

"The Lujin royal family came to Yunjing but no official documents were delivered. This is inappropriate in any way."

"He may not be the one who carried out the theft this time, but he is definitely a spy. I don't know what he is spying on." Wen Zhimiao reached out and took an orange, then sat down lazily on the recliner.

"There are so many people here tonight, they won't do anything, right?" Shi Wanyue suddenly became a little worried.

"Tonight? I guess I'll go to the Ministry of War and other places tonight." Wen Zhimiao ate an orange and looked at the crowd below: "As for whether I'll do anything during the performance..."

Wen Zhimiao smiled and said, "Yunjing's defense is not that bad."

"General Cui would not allow them to cause trouble for her before the imperial examination, and the Supervisory Office is no pushover." Wen Zhimiao was not worried about this. If he wanted to perform Twelve Hours in Yunjing City, the difficulty would be extremely high.

Of course, Wen Zhimiao actually felt that in the real Tang Dynasty, something like the Twelve Hours would be impossible to happen.

But it didn't stop her from being very happy and liking it when she saw it.

"Wait, what do you mean by stealing?"

"What are you doing?" He Yuanyao felt like she didn't understand at all.

"It's okay. It's just that Donglan, Lujin, and Beirong all want to come and steal Shushu's research results."

"Of course, there is no guarantee that these guys have other intentions when they come to Yunjing."

"Just focus on preparing for the exam. I won't disturb you." Wen Zhimiao explained to her.

He Yuanyao was a little frustrated: "I always feel like you guys know everything, but I know nothing day by day."

Wen Zhimiao suddenly felt that the orange in his mouth was no longer sweet. Why was this guy so sensitive recently?

"You have things you need to do, some people lead troops to fight, and some people plot behind the scenes. Everyone has their own things to do." Shi Wanyue said to He Yuanyao.

"Let's not talk about it last time. What you can do may not be something that Miaomiao and I can do." Shi Wanyue said in a gentle voice.

"Really? But I can't think of what I can do? You all seem to be trying hard, but I'm the only one who can't do anything." He Yuanyao was still a little discouraged.

Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but sigh behind her, wondering if her aftereffects of a broken heart were a bit too much.

"No, then according to what you said, Commander He is also doing nothing? There is no war now, so the soldiers at the border have nothing to do?"

"That's different." He Yuanyao curled her lips.

"Why is it different? Part of the purpose of the existence of military commanders and soldiers is to prepare for a rainy day and deter all parties. Aren't your current efforts to become a qualified military commander in the future?"

"Without generals and soldiers, all our calculations will be in vain, understand?"

He Yuanyao met Wen Zhimiao's eyes, was silent for a long time, and then asked again: "Then do you think I can be a qualified soldier?"

"Yes." Wen Zhimiao nodded to her.

He Yuanyao turned around and remained silent, not asking Wen Zhimiao anything further.

Shi Wanyue and Wen Zhimiao looked at each other. Wen Zhimiao was really helpless and she didn't know how else to comfort him.

Seeing Wen Zhimiao hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, Shi Wanyue went over and held Wen Zhimiao's hand.

She pulled Wen Zhimiao to another window, and then whispered to her, "Let her think about it herself."

"Okay." Wen Zhimiao really didn't know what to say to her.

"I hope she can be more open-minded." Wen Zhimiao muttered softly.

"Will do."

The show outside has already begun.

He Yuanyao sat there alone, drinking tea and watching the performance.

Wen Zhimiao and Shi Wanyue were sitting on the other side and did not go over to disturb her.

After the two of them looked at each other for a while, Wen Zhimiao suddenly whispered in Shi Wanyue's ear: "I know that Master Shi and Dean Qi are also here. Do you want to go and take a look secretly?"

Shi Wanyue quickly shook her head: "Not polite."

"Okay, then do you want to come with me to say hello to mother and Zhou Zhou?"

"Ah?" Shi Wanyue was stunned. She blinked at Wen Zhimiao: "This..."

"It's okay. You don't have to go. Otherwise, my mother will think I'm disturbing their world of two."

[Who made me have a stingy mother?] Su Qingluo, who happened to be next door to them, was caught off guard by Wen Zhimiao's inner voice, and the first thing she heard was Cricket's.

[Every day I am worried that someone else will occupy the boat.]

[Forget it, I won’t go and say hello. It seems a bit inappropriate.]

[I am done for. Did I scare my sister?]

Su Qingluo roughly understood what she was thinking from listening to her few words.

Wen Zhimiao didn't want to come over, but she forced her to come over.

Just as Wen Zhimiao had agreed with Shi Wanyue not to go, Kong Zhu came and knocked on the door, saying that Su Qingluo wanted them to come over and sit down.

Wen Zhimiao:......
