Volume 1 Chapter 15 The shrunken turtle has become a wolf cub
The face of the person who sent the letter below was like dead ashes, like a sifting of chaff, and he didn't dare to move even if the hot tea fell on his head, and replied worriedly: "Back to the master, the slave didn't find out who did it, but the slave personally examined the body, except for one who committed suicide, the other twenty-five all died at the hands of one person, all of them were fatal in the neck" He felt cold on his back when he thought about it, there is such a master in the world today, and the people sent by Otsuka Zai are all dead soldiers who are one in a hundred.
Otsuka stood up and stomped twice with his hands behind his back before saying, "Do you still need to check?" The shrunken turtle has become a wolf cub, and the dead soldiers he raised are not good at fighting a hundred enemies, this time it is the official who underestimated the enemy, fortunately, you have taken away the corpses, and there is no handle left in his hands, even if he comes back, he is just a puppet, just let him live a few more days. “
Back to the master, the slave unexpectedly got a message, "Seeing that the master's anger has dissipated a little, that person dares to report the next piece of news."
"Say," Otsuka asked, playing with the jade spotted fingers on the mother of the big fingers, with interest.
The servant said again: "Just the day before our people arrived, the old city lord of Fengdu City, Bei Yu, lost the city, and the new city lord turned out to be a woman."
"Oh ?" Otsuka Zai was also interested when he heard it: "It's actually a woman?"
The slave saw that Otsuka Zai was willing to listen, and spoke even harder: "Yes, not only that, but only two days later, this female city lord found someone to be the acting city lord, and the original young city lord became a deputy city lord, I heard that this female city lord went out to find some excellent rice seeds, and left today."
The Otsuka Jae listened carefully for a long time, and he didn't hear what this matter had to do with the king, so he just thought that the slave had told a few digressions, and after tasting the story, he said: "Go down, you don't have to go back and forth in the future."
"Yes" The slave obediently retreated, and Otsuka Zai chewed the story just now, and said secretly: "It's really interesting, Bei Yu's old thing will actually be taken away by a woman as the city lord, where is his Feng clan's face going to go?" Let him kill someone and grind slowly, now it's good, it's useless to become a slave of the country, what kind of woman can take a country quietly, he is also very curious, Feng Guo, it's completely over! ″
Three hundred miles of road, several people rode good horses, and walked on the official road, and successfully arrived when the city gate fell, becoming the last group of people to enter the city that day.
The city wall is towering, more than three zhang, the street lamps are lively, there are a lot of pedestrians, it is really the Shengdu City, the buildings are two cities, the main body is earth, wood, the secondary body is wood, bamboo, the hair grass is more, the tile house is less, the earth wall house is more, the pure wood house is less, however, in addition to the side is different, the front is not very obvious that the one is wood and the one is earth, all uniformly dressed, it can be seen that the people in charge of this field are attentive, and the ancient city is well planned.
Xin only brought Xing'er and Xiangzai, Zizhao in addition to the inseparable roots and leaves, there were more than 20 guards with him, and a group of people could only lead horses into the city from the city gate.
Xin only brought Xing'er and Xiangzai, Zizhao in addition to the inseparable roots and leaves, there were more than 20 guards with him, and a group of people could only lead horses into the city from the city gate, and they also walked two miles at this time, and Zizhao made everyone stop.
"Shengdu First-class Inn" is a straightforward store name.
Seeing that there were guests, there were a lot, and the little two who guarded the door beckoned the little two in the lobby to come together to greet them: "One person took Xin and Zizhao to the store first, and the other took everyone to the backyard to tie the horse."
Zizhao said as he walked: "Today is the Begging Festival, the daughters will go to the Begging Skill, ask the weaver girl to bless the knitting and spinning skills can get better and better, and the men will go to put the lamp to ask for marriage"
Xin Mo and replied, has been to the front desk, the first floor to eat, the second floor of the store, the front door is not big, but after living it should be very long, blocked by the screen, can not see clearly, the shopkeeper looked at the person asked warmly greeted: "Childe has not been here for a long time, today is the tip or the store?"
As soon as Xin heard it, he knew that Zizhao was a frequent visitor here.
Zizhao smiled back and said: "Two first-class rooms, one second-class room, two Chase rooms, open a table here first, come with two servings of game, ten wheat cakes, some broth, and a pot of Erchun."
Okay, the son here invites the shopkeeper to come to the position in person, by the window, the bamboo window panel is pasted with fine yarn, and it is quite beautiful and elegant, and there is a table next door, four people, and the dress is also not rich or expensive.
Xin and Zizhao looked around for a while and sat down in two adjacent directions, and the guards sat at a large table from a long distance.
Xiao Er enthusiastically sent tea, the roots, leaves, Xing, and Xiang also came back, Xin beckoned them all to sit down, Xiao Er's movements were also fast, and soon a voice came: "Come on, two portions of game, a pot of Erchun, wheat cakes, and soup will arrive later, and a few young ladies will use it slowly."
Xin smiled: "There is such a strange wine, called Erchun"
Zizhao poured her a small sip and said: "This is a good wine, the stamina is a little big, you take a sip first to see if Xi is used to it"
Xin took a sip and said: "Sure enough, it's a good wine" It's too spicy, and he quickly pulled a mouthful of pheasant meat and stuffed it in his mouth, his mouth was full of oil, which made Zizhao laugh with a mouth, and before Xing gave Xin Ti an embroidered handkerchief to wipe his mouth, Zizhao had already taken out his own handkerchief to wipe Xin's mouth, in this public, Xin was really a little embarrassed, and his little face quickly turned red, just Xiao Er shouted again: "Come on, fragrant wheat cakes, flavorful broth"
"Eat the cake, eat the cake, everyone eats the cake" Before everyone could fill the soup, Xin stuffed a cake into a bowl, and everyone snickered, Madame, this is embarrassing, gagged them with a cake."
Xin Qian only changed the topic and said: "I heard the king just now say that today is the Qiqiao Festival, is it the seventh day of the seventh lunar month?"
Zizhao wiped the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief he had just wiped Xin's mouth and said, "What is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month?" Today is the seventh day of the seventh month of the second year of Wuding, the begging festival"
"Oh, it's really the seventh day of the seventh month of July" Xin was a little disappointed, she glanced at Zizhao again, and secretly thought: "Are you Wang Rongping at the bottom, why do I think you are the more I look at you?"
Zizhao felt the loss and expectation in Xin's eyes, and he asked Xin, "Is today a special day?" Xin's eyes can speak, how can there be such smart eyes.
Smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, I remember that today is my birthday, I miss my mother a little" The child's birthday is a difficult day for the mother, this is what she heard her grandfather say when she was a child, her mother passed away as soon as she was born, and it is also here, she just came to life, the high priest died, she is destined to be a child who does not have a mother's pain, in modern times, there is a grandfather, and Wang Rongping... Thinking of this, she looked at Zizhao again, she couldn't ignore this person who looked exactly like Wang Rongping.
Zizhao looked at Xin's tangled appearance and comforted: "I see, today we all accompany you for your birthday, you are happy, it is simpler, after you go back, Zizhao will give you a gift"
"I wish Mrs. a good birthday and a long life" The roots and leaves of the tree are very tacitly acquiesced and stand up and congratulate.
Xing and Xiang looked at each other and said secretly, "Isn't the high priest's birthday the eighth day of the ninth month?" How did it change to the seventh day of the seventh month? But they can't say this kind of thing in front of the king, if they say it wrong, it is the crime of bullying the king, Xin saw this and asked calmly: "What, could it be that my birthday is not today, but another time?"
"Oh, this is strange, a slave who can't even remember the master's birthday, it's really damned" Zizhao suddenly got a little angry, two days ago I saw this Xing was a little cute, it turned out to be so irresponsible.
Xing Ke didn't know that the king had misunderstood her so much, but he felt that the king was very angry, so he immediately knelt down and said: "The slave is damned, he is in a hurry today, the slave forgot the master's birthday for a while, please punish the master."
Xin hurriedly shouted: "In front of the public, what is Xing'er doing, hurry up"
Xing Timidity glanced at the king deeply, and the king didn't dare to get up if he didn't shout.
Zizhao spit out a few words slowly: "Get up, serve carefully in the future, don't make your master sad"
Xin glanced at Xing and said a little angrily: "You call me master, what do you think he is doing?" I don't have any face at all.
Xing Mo was silent, and quietly sat down again, thinking: Isn't the king of higher status than you, and does the slave dare not listen to him? “
The more Xin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, he stood up suddenly, and said to Zizhao: "I'll put my words here today, in the future, my people, you are not allowed to be murdered in front of me, and no matter where you go in the future, the deployment of the two of them can only be at my disposal, and others are not allowed to do it, the rewards and punishments of the two of them must be personally asked by me, and others must not be poor, if you agree, it is naturally good, if you don't agree, tomorrow I will take her two to visit this Shengdu City, and we will go back."
Zizhao saw Xin pouting with a cold little face, the words popped out of that mouth one by one, a little inexplicably cute, not angry at all, he pulled her to sit down, and handed her a cake into her bowl and said: "Okay, good, Zizhao just cares about Mrs., even if Mrs. is so protective, Zizhao will not talk about them in the future."
The four minions on the side really looked stupid, each with their own thoughts, they all quietly ate the cake and did not dare to speak, the three views of the roots and leaves of the tree have been refreshed by the master in the past two days, usually the king of Hades is afraid of the master of three points when he sees it, since he saw the lady, he has become a puppy who invites pets, which makes people dare not look directly! The two of them looked up at the flattering king, and quickly lowered their heads and drank the soup, silently saying in their hearts: I didn't see it, I didn't see it......
Xing's face was envious, when did the king be so good to himself!
Only Xiang knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and the high priest said that he would wait for him to marry, and in a blink of an eye, he would become the wife of the king, and he would show his affection in front of him, as long as there was a river at this time, he would jump down, and he would live too aggrieved!
Xin is not a person who doesn't know how to be bad, and he was impressed by Zizhao's soft appearance with this smile, and it wasn't a big deal, so his tone softened a little and said, "It's about the same."
