Old Duke Xiao asked questions one after another. Although it was not difficult to answer, Chunyu Yi still did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

It wasn't until she sent the three of them out of the camp and saw her father's approving eyes that her heart returned to its true state.

It was true that she had spent so much energy during this period, and the improved crossbow finally attracted the attention of the big shots.

Next, Xiao Xuan will most likely turn his attention to the Ordnance Department.

He was no better than Mr. Xiao, and without a father to encourage him, could she really be able to cope with it?

※※※※

Returning to the main tent, Duke Xiao ordered Shi Ke to put the chessboard on the table and said to City Lord Chunyu: "Old Ding, accompany me to play another game."

Apart from leading troops to fight, in other aspects, Duke Xiao could not compare with Lord Chunyu.

Especially when it comes to chess, the two are not at the same level at all.

Lord Chunyu had reluctantly accompanied him several times, but now he really couldn't accompany him any longer.

Who would have thought that Mr. Xiao, who was unparalleled in his magnanimity and magnanimity, would turn into a child who couldn't afford to lose when he played chess.

Of course, it's not that Mr. Xiao's chess skills were bad. At least in his more than sixty years of life, he rarely lost.

But City Lord Chunyu was so powerful that he directly forced out the true colors of Old Duke Xiao.

Thinking of how he looked like a rogue jumping up and down after losing chess, City Lord Chunyu finally knew who Xiao Jiu looked like.

When his proposal received no response, Mr. Xiao said angrily: "Old Ding, you are good at everything, but you are a little unreasonable."

Lord Chunyu smiled and said: "How can I say this, old Duke?"

"That's all!" Mr. Xiao leaned back in his chair and suddenly remembered something.

He waved to Shi Ke: "Come here Dashi."

Shi Ke put down the chessboard and said with a smile: "What are your instructions?"

"Just tell the truth, who is smarter, Old Ding or me?"

Shi Ke's smile suddenly settled on his face.

How to answer this question?

Old Duke Xiao glared at him: "Let me tell you, whether a person is really honest can be found out in just one sentence.

It's obvious that Old Ding is much smarter than me, but you dare not tell the truth."

City Lord Chunyu laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

But I heard Old Duke Xiao say again: "But, sometimes I am also very smart, even better than you, Old Ding."

Shi Ke finally couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "Bragging that you are the strongest!"

Old Duke Xiao said with a smile: "Don't believe it, Ding Xiaomu today is clearly a girl!"

City Lord Chunyu's smile was fixed on his face just like Shi Ke's before.

This old man is really much better than me!

But Shi Ke didn't believe what Old Duke Xiao said and laughed again.

"Sir, you've blown me away! Your subordinates can see clearly that Ding Xiaomu is a boy."

Xiao Laoguo said: "Who can dress up as a man better than my Xiaojiu? Ding Xiaomu's appearance and voice have almost no flaws, but compared to Xiaojiu, they are still a little less interesting."

City Lord Chunyu deeply agreed with his words.

Xiao Bi changed her clothes and became a boy, but Yi'er needed to dress up carefully.

After being carefully dressed up, a person's face always loses its natural appearance. This is what the old man said, "It's just a little bit off."

He smiled again: "Since the old prince has discovered that Ding Xiaomu is a girl, why didn't he expose her on the spot?"

Old Duke Xiao waved his hand: "It's so boring to expose her. Ding Xiaomu is a smart and simple child at first glance. She must have had no choice but to disguise herself as a man and sneak into the military camp."

Shi Ke smiled and said: "It's a last resort, maybe it's an enemy country's secret work."

Xiao Laoguo said: "Since you take her seriously, immediately send someone to keep an eye on her secretly. Remember not to alert the snake, let alone anyone to harm the child."

"Sir, aren't you making things difficult for your subordinates?" Shi Ke wailed.

"Just go if I tell you to, there is so much nonsense!"

"Yes." Shi Ke puffed out his cheeks and walked out of the tent.

City Lord Chunyu raised his eyebrows: "The old Duke's attitude towards Xizuo is really unpredictable."

Old Duke Xiao said with a smile: "These words are just to coax Shi Ke. If he was as careful as Ding Xiaomu, he would have died ten times ago.

The kid's steps were frivolous, and he didn't look like someone with martial arts skills.

And as a craftsman, the most important thing is to hide rather than reveal.

She has only been in the camp for a few days, and she hastily showed off her skills before she even had a firm footing. Is this what a meticulous worker should do?"

City Lord Chunyu was a little afraid to answer the question.

If he continues talking, the old prince will be suspicious of him.

No... maybe people have been doubting him from the beginning.

Of course, he was not afraid of the old Duke's suspicion. After all, the father and daughter themselves did not have any ill intentions.

Moreover, those two household registration documents were clues he deliberately left behind. Otherwise, why would they be called Ding Yulan and Ding Xiaomu, and they are both from Mohua Village?

"Old Ding." Old Duke Xiao came closer to him: "I have a bold idea."

"Old Duke, please tell me."

"Do you think Ding Xiaomu sneaked into the camp to find a lover?"

City Lord Chunyu couldn't help coughing violently.

"I said, old Duke, why do you have such strange thoughts?"

"Isn't it strange?" Mr. Xiao stretched out his hand to open the drawer and took out a booklet: "This is a playbook that Xiaojiu has read before. Isn't that what it says in it?

The little girl fell in love with a young man in the army, disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the military camp..."

Lord Chunyu was shocked.

Xiao Jiu of the Xiao family is really a little trouble. Look what kind of trouble she has made to a generation of famous generals?

"Ahem...Old Duke, this script is just written in vain, how can it be taken seriously?"

Old Duke Xiao opened the book and said with some sadness: "But it would be great if it were really true. There was a smart girl who disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the military camp to find my little five, and then the two of them fell in love...

"

City Lord Chunyu felt that someone had set a fire under his butt. He really couldn't sit down, okay?

But at the same time, he was also a little sad.

Xiao Wu's father died young, his marriage became his grandfather's concern, and the Iron-Blooded General became a nagging old man.

His Yi'er's mother died young, her marriage became his father's concern, and the aloof, cold and arrogant Lord of Weushui City became an old man.

"Alas -" Old Duke Xiao sighed: "It's a pity that Ding Xiaomu's girl is not that good-looking. My Xiaowu, that tacky brat, just wants to marry a beautiful woman who will dominate the country.

There are so many beautiful girls in the capital that he doesn’t like, Ding Xiaomu..."

Lord Chunyu: "..."

Ding Xiaomu looks a little worse?

Your whole family looks a little worse!

I didn't realize it, but that kid Xiao Xuan is actually a lecher.
