"Something unusual?" Yun Shang took the book list and looked confused.
Luo Qingyan stood up and walked around from behind the desk. "Normally, in addition to the classics, bookstores also sell some light reading."
"Most bookstores almost sell all kinds of books. But Wenshu Bookstore is a little strange. Although there are all kinds of light reading in it, there is a large amount of a particular kind which is a little eye-catching."
Yun Shang frowned and opened the list again. But there were just names of books on it. Yun Shang had read some of them and knew what kind of books they were, but there were also many books that Yun Shang had never heard of. She didn't know what kind they were, so she didn't know what Luo Qingyan was talking about.
Seeing the confusion on Yun Shang's face, Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "It's normal that you can't figure it out. I happened to read some books on the list as it was needed in some wars."
Luo Qingyan took the book list and opened it. He pointed at it and said, "Look, from this page to this page. The books listed on these four pages are all about construction."
"Construction?" Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan.
Luo Qingyan nodded, "I haven't seen some of them. I've also sent someone to investigate them. In addition to some works used in the marching army, there are also some strange things. The construction of secret passages, weapons and tools could barely be related to war. But books like mining, water project construction, and even tools for planting crops have nothing to do with the marching of the army."
Yun Shang squinted slightly, "Why are there so many books about construction in Wenshu Bookstore? If Wenshu Bookstore belongs to Xia Houjing, does he regard it as a place for his people to learn something? And these books are exactly what Xia Houjing wants his people to read?"
"But why?" Yun Shang was confused, "Is it possible that Xia Houjing has built some amazing works? In Liucang City?"
Luo Qingyan didn't respond. He just rubbed the book list as if he was thinking about something.
Yun Shang was still immersed in her own thoughts. "But if Xia Houjing really built some works in Liucang City, why didn't he use it before? And why was he so easily taken back to the Jin city by Xia Huanyu? Now that Xia Houjing is in our hands, even if he has built some works, it can't play a big role."
Luo Qingyan looked down at Yun Shang and said, "Maybe being taken back to Jin City was just one of his plans? Maybe it's to distract our attention so as to cover up his secret in Liucang City."
Yun Shang was shocked. "But didn't Xia Houjing think that we would kill him? If we kill him, then all his plans will be meaningless."
"Maybe Xia Houjing has some backup plan. Some plan that could make us dare not to kill him? "
As soon as Luo Qingyan finished speaking, Yun Shang raised her head. The two of them exchanged a look. Then Yun Shang continued, "Then, let's push Xia Houjing to show his backup plan?" "It's not impossible. I'm just afraid of alerting the enemy." Luo Qingyan threw the book list on the table, walked to the couch and sat down. "Let me think about it again and see if there is any solution."
