Chapter Forty-Six: The Ancient City of Ergu (1)
When Li Qiu arrived on the outskirts of Ergu City, and there was still half a day away from entering the city, the herald he sent to contact the officials of Ergu City brought back two pieces of news that made Li Qiu feel overwhelmed.
The first nonsense news is that Wu Tianyou, the Taishou of Er Gucheng, is currently seriously ill.
According to a reliable source in the city, this former Ergu Gujie may not have much time left.
In the past few months since Wu Tianyou's condition has been deteriorating, there has been an undercurrent in the ancient city of Er, and forces from all sides are ready to move.
Li Qiu can be said to have chosen the worst time to come to the ancient city of Er.
Gan, Li Qiu was so depressed that he vomited blood, could it be that he was really possessed by the god of decay.
First, he was inexplicably rewarded with a lot of money, and almost lost his life in the territory of the leopard clan.
Now he has finally turned the corner, but he didn't expect that a year ago, he was still vigorous and feared by the Ministry of War, and Brother Jie, who was afraid of the Ministry of War, actually said that he was going to hang up.
Li Qiu had imagined the countless difficult situations he would face, but he did not calculate that Brother Renjie would die first.
Brother Renjie is about to hang up with his sister, who else will Li Qiu go to discuss about the financial issue of recovering the ancient city of Er.
Li Qiu thought of it before he came to the ancient city, and he had silently cursed this Renjie brother, wishing him an early death, but he didn't expect .......
At this moment, Li Qiu's heart couldn't help but tremble, could it be that his mouth was open.
My good man, Li Qiu said in his heart, if he is really so accurate, when he can't get along in Daliang City in the future, he will go directly to be a famous cannon killer.
Wouldn't it be very cool to kill people by relying on your mind for thousands of miles.
Li Qiu originally thought that this first news was unlucky enough, but he didn't expect the second news to be even more exciting.
Stimulated, he almost blew himself up on the spot.
This second terrible piece of news was more accurate enough to make Li Qiu feel powerless, mixed with deep frustration.
According to the informant in the city, some time ago, in the ancient city of Er, there was a fat man with a paper fan in his hand, who worked tirelessly every day and diligently told stories for the civilians of the ancient city of Ergu for free.
Obviously, the protagonist of the story is Li Qiu, as for the content of the story.
Forehead...... It is almost the process of Li Qiu's army defeating the leopard tribe, as well as some of the specific details of it, by adding oil and vinegar, and also accompanying a beautiful comic book in the ancient city.
The herald said this, with an embarrassed face and pretending to shed tears of grief for Li Qiu.
Now the Liqiu people have not yet arrived in the ancient city, and the reputation has long spread all over the streets and alleys. It is said that Li Qiu's current popularity has surpassed that of the civilians in the city, and they are concerned about when that Brother Renjie will die.
In addition, Li Qiu, a young general of the empire, also won a new nickname among the civilians of the ancient city of Er, and he transformed from a dignified general to a famous general of the ancient city.
Damn fat guide, Li Qiu's anger surged when he heard this.
"It's too hard for me. ”
Li Qiu leaned on Martha's shoulder in pain, without repeating a word, and cursed the fat guide viciously for a full hour, which shows how much trauma the fat guide brought to Li Qiu.
The guards were equally indignant when they heard the news, and several of them came together to use ancient secret techniques to poke at the grass men to carry out vicious long-range human attacks on the fat guide.
If it weren't for Li Qiu's plan to hack them all to death with a knife to sacrifice to the sky, it is very likely that these idiots would really want to perform this, the bullshit curse plan A that is so retarded that the earth is so shocked that the ghosts and gods are crying.
Li Qiu was furious, and issued a first-class military order to all the soldiers under him, if anyone could do this damn fat guide...... As long as you bring his head to see him, you can exchange it for a set of top mansions in Daliang City from Li Qiu.
Such a cost-effective deal, if it were placed in normal times, the tough guys of the Qinglong Army, who would take advantage of it if they were cheap, would definitely respond to it.
However, no matter how high the price Li Qiu offered now, these good brothers in the army were completely unresponsive.
The soldiers thought that soon after, they would be watched live by the whole city in the ancient city of Er, and that scene must be comparable to the execution on the spot.
At this time, everyone who was heading towards Ergu City hung their heads listlessly, far more sad and depressed than they were after eating collectively.
After all, they were disgraced in front of the Leopard people at that time, and now they are to be ridiculed and despised by the civilians of the Empire.
Don't they want to lose face, how will they mix in the future!
Li Qiu saw that these fools were depressed one by one, and he couldn't help but sigh.
But Li Qiu thought about it again, he was sad about it...... He's never had a good reputation, and now it's just a little more rotten, so what?
Li Qiu believed that as long as his skin was thick enough, the ridicule of these civilians would naturally not cause him any harm.
The old philosophers of the ancient empire once said that people say that people can say that the breeze blows on the hills.
If Li Qiu is shameless, then he is an invincible existence in the world.
Well, just a few people say, you can still say that you can't die alive, he is a happy young general, and happiness will be over, Li Qiu comforted himself.
However, Li Qiu soon discovered that he had overestimated his own mentality and underestimated the lethality of rumors.
The ancient city of Er is located on the southwesternmost border of the Dongzhou Empire, because it has often suffered from the military threat of various beast tribes, so the successive Taishou of the Wu family have been digging and reinforcing a moat that is several zhang deep, long and wide.
Li Qiu stood outside the city and looked out from afar, and the surface of the majestic moat was crisp and blue.
Under the sun's rays, the sparkling water surface glows with a layer of turquoise.
The river reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and Li Qiu's uneasy heart.
"Brothers, after entering the city, I will hold my head high and show our mighty momentum. ”
The guards loudly conveyed the spirit of Li Qiu's request.
The crowd barely pulled themselves together and stepped into the city following the soldiers sent by the ancient city of Ergu to receive them.
Needless to say, the civilians of the ancient city of Ergu welcomed Li Qiu and his men to the greatest extent.
On both sides of the streets of the ancient city, a large number of civilians were crowded, and their cheerful smiles made Li Qiu feel an unprecedented warm atmosphere.
What made people cry even more was a group of vendors holding all kinds of night pots, who used their fiery eyes and cordial calls to enthusiastically sell the 'magic weapons' in their hands to the soldiers passing by.
"Warriors, you have passed by, but don't miss it, today's new product launch promotion, buy one get one free and rebate. ”
"Squatting pot, perfect release your soul, please use the small shop 'magic weapon' to feel the happiness without limits. ”
"A little bit of drain, a little bit of it, a lot of capacity, the Warriors deserve it, oh yes. ”
"You are in charge of your 'magic weapon', you can pull as much as you want, ensure quality and quantity, free shipping and replacement, and have fresh antiseptic bags for easy recycling and eating. ”
The happy civilians of the ancient city of Er, through their practical actions, will give back more joy to Li Qiu, the dung general who is about to die of shame at this time.
"Oh, you say that this dung general is not as handsome as me, how can Her Royal Highness the princess of Daliang City look at him, it's really infuriating. ”
"You know a fart, his father is a famous general, your father is a rotten drunkard, who is blind can look at you. ”
"Don't guess about some things, I have relatives in Daliang, and he told me personally that this dung general's tongue is extremely flexible, hehe, as for the specific details, I am inconvenient to disclose. ”
"Cut, it's not just that he lives alone, there are my wonderful scholar Ma Dayan here, whoever is not convinced will go to the Qinglou to compare with me, not I blow, my hand to the spring. ”
"Hehe, it's really funny to listen to your nonsense, a group of guys who don't know how to pretend to understand, in fact, General Dung Wei likes men...... This wave, he's standing on the fifth floor. ”
"Really, you're not bragging, are you? ”
"Oh, this kind of thing is not easy to talk about, you understand it, you understand, and I can't explain it much if I don't understand. ”
The chatters of the civilians kept pouring into Li Qiu's ears, and his face was flushed at the moment, if it weren't for his identity as a general.
Li Qiu couldn't help but use his traditional skills now, and he was on the street to face these mentally retarded people on the spot.
What these people say is outrageous!
In the unprecedentedly lively atmosphere of the ancient city of Er, even the soldiers of the ancient city of Ergu who led the way couldn't help but squeeze their eyebrows in front of Li Qiu's eyes and force laughter.
Under the laughter of everyone, Li Qiu, who endured the torment, finally came to the general's mansion where he temporarily lived.
As soon as he stepped into the general's mansion, Li Qiu called Martha hatefully.
Li Qiu walked to the chair in the main hall, just sat down and stood up angrily.
Li Qiu had a dark face and looked angrily at Martha, who was standing aside and couldn't stop laughing.
"It's all you, it's all your fault, don't speak, I won't forgive you for anything you say. ”
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”
"Did you hear it, they all called me General Dungwei, I was just too difficult. ”
Li Qiu complained repeatedly.
Martha held the silly cute rabbit, laughed even more happily, and leaned back until she couldn't help herself.
Martha stuck out her tongue mischievously and said with a smile: "Okay, my lord, it's all the little woman's fault, please rest assured, I'll go out and tell everyone later, not only did you not eat excrement, but your tongue was not flexible at all." ”
Gan!
Li Qiu was choked by Martha's astonishing remarks and was speechless for a long time.
Li Qiu thought about it carefully, he really couldn't refute it, after all, this kind of thing, as the only Martha who had an intimate experience with him, it was natural that she was the one who had the most right to speak.
As for eating excrement, the conscience of heaven and earth, he is an old evasion, these are malicious rumors, and they are all jealousy of him!
Li Qiu slapped his forehead suddenly, sat back in the chair angrily, and threatened Martha depressedly: "If you dare to contradict General Ben again in the future, be careful that I will feed you that bottle of good stuff again." ”
Martha glanced at Li Qiu charmingly.
She seemed to glance at Li Qiu somewhere intentionally, as if unintentionally, and replied with a smile: "My lord, I'm just worried that the last person who can't stand it is you." ”
, who can endure such a provocation, how can Li Qiu be a loser.
"Forget it, I'll spare you this time, whoever makes General Ben notoriously angry, I won't care about you as a little woman. ”
Li Qiu decisively gave up his trampled dignity.
"I don't want to see you now, you go out for me to find out the information, and if you don't find out what the situation is in the Wu family in the ancient city of Er, you are not allowed to come back. ”
Li Qiu's words were hard, but his voice was humble enough.
"Got it, sir....... ”
Martha smiled and walked away.
After finishing the errand of the military department, Li Qiu had to leave this rotten place that was very unfriendly to him immediately.
This trip to the ancient city of Laier was simply a nightmare disaster, Li Qiu thought hatefully.
