"Dongdong~"

“Empty ~”

Li Zhang lay on the beam of the house, knocked on this side and then on, his face full of confusion. The beam under him was very thick and strong, emitting a very pleasant rosin smell. However, when he measured the beam just now, he accidentally discovered that a small section of the beam was actually empty, which was obviously different from the knocking sounds in other places.

This discovery also made Li Zhang very curious. He stared at the beam with his eyes wide open and carefully observed it. Finally, he found a rectangular trace on the beam. It seemed that this piece of wood should have been taken out intact. After hollowing out the inside, the wood on the surface was closed. Because the surroundings were tightly tucked together, it would not be visible without looking carefully, but the sound of knocking was obviously different.

Li Zhang buckled it with his fingernails a few times, but he couldn't pull it out at all. So he immediately got down the ladder, then went to the kitchen to find a sharp knife and ran up excitedly again. In fact, what was inside didn't matter. What was important was that Li Zhang now had the pleasure of treasure hunting.

After getting on the beam again, Li Zhang inserted his sharp knife into the gap, and then easily pried open the rectangular lid outside. As a result, there was a small space inside, which could probably hold a mineral water bottle from later generations. Originally, Li Zhang thought there were gold, silver and treasures hidden inside, but he didn't expect that there was a roll of white silk inside, which made him take it out with confusion and then gently opened it.

This roll of white silk is very thin, and the small roll is more than one meter wide after it is unfolded. What Li Zhang didn't expect was that there was a map on the white silk, with mountains, rivers, and some cities distributed on it. The city also annotated the troops in the city, as well as the defense distribution, etc.

"This... this is not a map of defense for troops, right?" Li Zhang was a little confused at first, but suddenly he was shocked, but this also scared him, because no matter when, defense for troops is a secret of a country, but why does such a map appear on his own house beam?

"Uncle Wu!" After Li Zhang reacted, he immediately jumped off the beam and went to find Lu Wu. After all, for such a big thing, he had to discuss it with someone who understands this aspect. What's more, Lu Wu is still an official person. Even if he is just a small team leader, he is better than a commoner like himself.

Lu Wu was teaching a wild dog to stand in a corner of the yard. When he saw Li Zhang running over with a panic look on his face, he was a little strange. Li Zhang knew that the content on Baibo should not be known to too many people, so he pulled Lu Wu back to the second floor and then handed him Baibo. As a result, when Lu Wu saw the map on Baibo, his face turned ashen.

"Uncle Wu, the things on this picture should be military secrets, right?" Li Zhang asked carefully when he saw Lu Wu's face was not good.

"This is a military deployment map in the northwest Yanzhou area, and it is also a top secret in the Ministry of War, but..." Lu Wu said gritting his teeth at this time. The military deployment map that should have been a top secret appeared here. The only explanation is that someone leaked the secret, and it is likely that it was done by people within the court, which made him very annoyed.

"By the way, where did you get this thing?" Lu Wu suddenly remembered a key question at this time, and immediately asked hurriedly, such a top-secret thing is not something that ordinary officials can contact in the Ministry of War. How could Li Zhang have it?

"Just on the beam of the house, I promised the wild dog to nail a bed on the beam of the house yesterday, but I found this thing!" Li Zhang pointed to the beam of the roof on the head and said, but after hearing this, Lu Wu immediately turned over the beam of the house, checked the hole in the map and had no other things, then jumped down.

"This map is of great importance, so you don't have to worry about the next thing, but I suspect that this map is related to the original family that was killed, and there is also the master from last night. The other party is probably coming for this thing!" Lu Wu, who has been a team leader for many years, immediately remembered what happened last night.

"The other party didn't find this map yesterday, so the other party should come again in the future, right?" Li Zhang also showed a nervous look when he said this. Even Lu Wu dared not say that the person was better than the other party. They were lucky last night, so they scared the other party away. If the other party was very fierce next time, I'm afraid no one of them would want to run away.

"Don't worry, I will bring people to ambush around your yard tonight. I will never give up until I catch the other person!" Lu Wu said as he took Baibo into his arms, then turned around and left. He did not remind Li Zhang not to tell others about this, because he knew that with Li Zhang's temperament, he would definitely not talk nonsense.

Looking at Lu Wu's departure, Li Zhang showed a confused look, because Lu Wu said just now that he wanted to lead someone to ambush around the yard, but shouldn't such a big thing be reported? Lu Wu, a small Xiangfu County team leader, probably has no right to intervene in such a big thing, right? But seeing Lu Wu's confident look, it doesn't seem like he is telling a lie?

"What did you say to Lu Bantuo? Why did he leave in a hurry?" At this moment, the wild dog walked in from outside and asked in confusion when he saw Li Zhang.

"Things are a little bit bad. Let's sleep lightly these days. I'm afraid the thief from last night will come again!" Li Zhang did not answer the wild dog's words, but his face was solemn to make him look alert.

Wild dogs have a good habit. As long as Li Zhang doesn't want to say it, he will no longer ask questions. He nodded immediately. After that, Li Zhang did not ask him to practice martial arts again, but instead pulled him to help him add a bed on the beam of the room. In fact, it was a bed, which was nothing more than laying a few wooden boards on the beam of the room. Of course, it had to be nailed firmly, and two protective gears were added next to it to prevent the wild dog from falling off accidentally when it turned over.

The two of them worked hard for an afternoon and finally made the bed on the beam. The wild dog excitedly brought his bedding. After the simple wooden bed was put on the bedding, they finally looked decent. The wild dog was even more lying on it and was reluctant to get up. Speaking of which, the wild dog was mature and calm in some aspects, but in some aspects it was even more childish than Douzi and the others.

During dinner, Li Yonghe also came back from outside. Compared to yesterday's guilt, he was full of red today. After returning, he kept telling Li'er how he praised his braised pork outside today. He also invited some people to try it. Several headmasters from the brothel gave him a deposit and asked him to bring a few kilograms of braised pork tomorrow, because these brothels also provide some food. If the food is cooked well, it can better retain guests.

It was precisely because of this contribution that Li Yonghe finally felt a little confident in this family and talked more when eating. He was always in the market, knew a lot of strange stories, and was also very eloquent, so Douzi and the others liked to listen to him. After a meal, Li Yonghe was recognized by more people, and Li'er became more intimate with him.

Li Zhang was always worried when he was having a meal and kept thinking about the map. Lu Wu had said before that he wanted to bring people, but now it was dark and he still didn't see anyone, which made him very worried. What if the shadow came again last night, what would they do?

However, just as Li Zhang and the others had dinner and were about to go upstairs to rest, the wild dog quietly pulled Li Zhang aside and whispered: "Lu Bantou and the others have arrived, right in the yard on our left."

"How do you know?" Li Zhang asked in surprise when he heard this, because the wild dog had never gone out after dinner. If Lu Wu notified him, he would have known it.

"I heard that not only he came, but also had more than a dozen helpers. He should be masters when he heard the footsteps!" The wild dog replied again.

Only then did Li Zhang remember that the wild dog's ears were extremely sensitive. It was very easy for him to judge the other person's identity from footsteps. In fact, even an ordinary person could judge his identity from the sound of footsteps as long as he was familiar with someone. Of course, ordinary people were definitely not as sensitive as the wild dog's ears.

When Li Zhang learned that Lu Wu was hiding in the yard next to him, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he suddenly glanced at the wild dog with a strange look and then said, "Didn't Uncle Wu have already agreed to teach you martial arts? Why do you still call him Lu Bantu? Shouldn't you change your words and call him Master?"

"Lu Bantou said that although he could teach me martial arts, he refused to accept me as his disciple. I don't know why?" Wild Dog said with a plain expression. It was not important to him, as long as he could learn martial arts.

Li Zhang felt a little strange when he heard this, but this was Lu Wu's private affairs, so he couldn't say anything. However, through this incident, Li Zhang felt that there was a little more fog on Lu Wu's body, which made him increasingly unable to understand this elder who had been taking care of their brother and sister.

"By the way, there is another thing that happened last night. I want to ask you?" At this moment, I suddenly saw the wild dog thinking about something again and spoke again.

"What's the matter?" Li Zhang heard that it was last night again, and he couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

"Last night, I heard a man and a woman fighting. When the woman said, 'I'm going to die', I thought this woman was really beaten to death, but today I saw her well and not hurt. Why is that?" The wild dog asked with confusion at this time. The small buildings on the street were tightly close together, and they could shake hands with each other directly when they opened the window on one side, so sometimes what happened next could not be hidden from his ears.
