Houtu country, the capital.

The battle with the demons also had a slight impact on the second largest country in the world.

The population is decreasing, and the material is strained.

However, if it can survive it, this can be regarded as the courage and strength of the second largest country in the world.

Compared with the previous lantern green alleys, the prosperity in the capital has indeed decreased a lot. At night, there is no longer the kind of lights that seem to last until dawn, and the hustle and bustle.

However, during the day, the flow of people and merchants between the markets has not decreased much, and it still seems to be so prosperous.

In this corner of the busy street, is the residence of Cao Kou, a grain transport officer. Although the official position is small, the identity of the grain transport officer can be regarded as a big fat shortage, and the power in his hands is not small. So, he can be regarded as a person with a bit of prestige.

At this moment, in front of the Cao Mansion, a young man in an official uniform walked out of it.

His gesture was courteous, and his face was full of flattering smiles. Judging from the rank of his official uniform, his official status is definitely above this little cloud and Cao Kou. But now, it was not Cao Kou himself who accompanied him, but a humble servant.

"Haha, stay in the door. Hahaha. ”

The officer turned and flattered the servant again, and his demeanor was simply humble and flattering to the extreme.

And the servant looked at the official with his nose, and he looked at him with a nonchalant look.

"Please also ask the minister to say a few kind words for the lower official in front of Lord Cao, if it succeeds, the lower official will be grateful in the future! Thanks, hahaha. ”

While saying. The officer handed the servant a small bag in his arms. The servant took the pocket, weighed it, and weighed it. Only then did he laugh: "Okay, I know, let's go." When the adults have news, they will naturally tell you. ”

The official hurriedly nodded again, and said with a smile: "Thank you! Thank you! Then the official will take his leave! Hahahaha." ”

With a dry smile, the official got into a sedan chair in front of the door and left.

And the servant looked at the sedan chair in the distance, and snorted coldly. Two pieces of silver were taken out of this money bag and given to the soldiers guarding the door on the left and right.

"Lao Zhang, who is this person, why did he come to Master Cao's house every once in a while?"

The soldier guarding the door on the left bit down on the silver and put it in his arms while asking.

The servant, who was called Lao Zhang, smiled and said, "You don't know? It's no wonder that you've only been here for more than a year, and you don't know what is normal." Remember that face, that person is the master of the dynasty! General Ding!"

The soldier on the right was startled and opened his eyes wide: "Isn't it? Such an exaggeration?

Lao Zhang laughed and said, "Yes." It's the horse master. However, this horse master doesn't know what to do, and he actually colludes with the demons to betray the Central Plains! After the death of the emperor two years ago. The bastard's collusion with the demons has been reported to the world. Although the current Majesty reluctantly allowed him to remain in the capital when he was the former emperor's concubine. But the status? Hehe, this guy's status is not as good as our Lord Cao now! But this is also what he should be! Who made him betray the Central Plains. Betraying us and surrendering to the Demon Kingdom?"

The soldiers on the left and right nodded hurriedly, with a look of enlightenment. The old man weighed the money bag and continued to advise: "Okay, you two know people now. If this guy comes back in the future, you can stop me and don't let him bother me again. The gifts he gave were very few, and he wanted Master Cao to speak for him and provide him with a good position. Hmph! Foolish dreams! Take it and divide it. ”

After speaking, Lao Zhang raised his hand, and the money bag flew up directly and landed on the hand of the soldier on the left. When the two soldiers hurriedly went to fight, Lao Zhang also returned to Cao's mansion and didn't care anymore.

..................

Cao Mansion is opposite the door, it is a restaurant.

Above the restaurant, a man dressed as a young man was sitting.

She looked at everything that had just happened in front of her, and likewise, she also watched the person in the sedan slowly leave. In his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little moist......

At this moment, the sedan chair of the horse master left, and she also planned to settle the bill and leave.

But before she beckoned Xiao Er to come over to settle the bill, a tall and mighty person sat down directly opposite her. A pair of eyes full of majesty, staring straight at her.

After seeing this person, a flash of surprise flashed on the young man's face, and he hurriedly lowered his head. After a while, he called timidly: "Grandpa......"

"Hmph, you remember my grandfather, it's good. ”

Nuo Yuanxiu nodded, continued to stare at the granddaughter in front of him, dressed as a man, and looked up and down: "You still don't give up, and you still think about him all day long? You know what this beast has done to you! But you still look like this?"

Nuo Mimi was yelled at by her grandfather, her face was full of panic, and she quickly shook her head and said, "No......, no! I...... I didn't have ......"

"Still say no?"

Nuo Yuanxiu snorted. Around it, the subordinates of the Nuo family had gradually emptied this floor of the restaurant, so even if Nuo Yuanxiu was angry here, no one would be able to see it.

"What? Are you still delusional? Yes, that's right. Recently, there have indeed been rumors that the relationship between the guy and the eldest princess is strained, and there are many conflicts between the couple. Don't think I don't know what you think. When you hear that the relationship between their husband and wife is tense, your little girl's heart must be happy, right?!"

For her grandfather's scolding, Nuo Mimi didn't dare to talk back. Even those timid "I don't" are not confident.

Seeing his granddaughter look like this now, although Nuo Yuanxiu was angry, he was also very distressed. The old man sighed, shook his head and said, "Good granddaughter, grandpa is old, and he can't take care of you for much time...... Your father, your mother, your uncle and uncle, they all sacrificed their lives for the country on the battlefield...... They are all the pride of the Nuo family! Grandpa really doesn't want to see you...... See you like this......"

Thinking of his sons and daughters who had died on the battlefield, Nuo Yuanxiu's eyes couldn't help but add a sense of moisture. And when he looked at the granddaughter of the only bloodline in front of him, he even revealed a hatred of iron but not steel.

"Grandpa......"

Nuo Mimi stood up, walked behind her grandfather, and beat her back for Nuo Yuanxiu.

After a long time, Nuo Yuanxiu came to his senses, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Good granddaughter, it's not that grandpa forced you." But at this time, the battle with the demon kingdom is in full swing, but my Nuo family has withered...... At this time, grandpa also saw that you were addicted to the private affairs of your children and couldn't extricate yourself, grandpa's heart hurts, it hurts, it hurts" (to be continued............
