155. Someone from the north
The beard on his face startled Taiping, he thought it was his own delusion, and touched it again without giving up, but it turned out to be a full beard!
The beard was so long that it looked like it hadn't been taken care of in years.
Taiping suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, could he be some kind of savage?
Just in his panic, Taiping suddenly found that his stomach was very hungry, and the fire was burning, obviously he hadn't eaten for a long time. He rolled over and sat up with his stomach clutched, looking around for something to eat.
At this glance, Taiping's heart was even colder.
This place is obviously a shack, or the kind that was simply erected, and it looks like it has been around for some years. There was very little food in the shack, and there was no food, but there were bows and arrows hanging on the walls, and it seemed that the original owner of his body was a hunter, but he didn't know how this body was taken by him.
Thinking of the experience of being excluded from his body the first two times, Taiping felt a little apprehensive in his heart. This body is not his, should he be squeezed out in the future?
At this moment, Taiping suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and someone was walking towards the shack.
He was startled, and instinctively became vigilantβwho was coming? Will the other party recognize him?
At the same time, a caravan slowly walked into Daning City. Not long after entering the city, a middle-aged Confucian student walked out of a carriage. He arched his hand towards the leader of the caravan, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you Brother Chen for escorting you all the way, Fang Mou is unforgettable, a little thank you, talk about your heart, Brother Chen don't want to refuse." β
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant and handed it to the other party.
The brother Chen in his mouth is a sturdy middle-aged man, seeing that the jade bottle he took out is of excellent quality and exquisite workmanship, I am afraid that it is worth a lot of money, so I can't help but refuse: "This is not good, I just took you for a ride, how can I accept such a valuable thank you gift?" β
The middle-aged Confucian student was very persistent, but the strong man couldn't shirk it, so he could only accept it. After he took it, he asked, "Sir, is he going to join a friend?" β
"Exactly, a friend of mine happens to be in this Daning City, so I'm going to go to him, farewell." When he had finished speaking, he arched his hand again, jumped out of the carriage, turned and strode away.
The strong man pinched the jade pendant in his hand, and suddenly called a thin young man, and commanded in a low voice: "Follow and see where he goes." Be careful, don't get caught by him. β
The young man nodded excitedly, and then quietly followed.
The strong man smiled coldly and led the caravan to find an inn to live in. Not long after moving in, a shopkeeper knocked on the door with a cold: "Guest officer, do you want herbal tea?" β
"Come in." The strong man said lightly, and then Xiao Er pushed the door open.
When the door was closed, their faces changed at the same time.
Xiao Er casually put the teapot on the table, looked at the strong man and asked, "You came here on purpose, but what did you find?" β
The strong man nodded and said in a low voice: "On the way here, I met a middle-aged Confucian student, who said that he was coming to Daning City to join his friends and asked us to give him a ride. I looked all the way and found that this person's identity was suspicious, so as soon as he left, I asked people to follow. By the way, he also gave this, saying that it was a thank you gift. β
After speaking, he took out the jade pendant given by the middle-aged Confucian student.
The shopkeeper took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then laughed: "He is generous." β
With a sneer, the shopkeeper's face turned grim, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who do you suspect he is?" β
The strong man stretched out his finger and pointed to the north, and said in a low voice, "I suspect that he is from over there." β
"...... over there," shopkeeper suddenly sank his face, "Are you sure he's from over there?" This is not a trivial matter, you have to think clearly! β
The strong man pondered for a moment and nodded affirmatively: "It must have come from over there!" Although he is from the Central Plains, he must have lived in the north for a short time, even if he tries his best to hide it, but his small actions can't hide my eyes! β
"He's coming from the north, and he's going to join his friends in Daning City, or is it ...... this time," the shopkeeper said this, his face suddenly changed, "It's not good, he's afraid he's a lobbyist sent by the Tartars!" The autumn harvest will be coming soon, and those Tartars will already be counted! β
"This ......" the strong man's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "Isn't that bad?" If I had known this, I should have killed him on the road! This inhuman brute! β
"That's it," the shopkeeper shook his head, "just let him be proud for a few days, the order has been issued from above, and he will be done soon, so it's not too late to kill him then!" β
Not long after, a thin young man walked into the inn quickly, went all the way to the second floor, and knocked on the door: "Boss, it's me." β
The strong man and the shopkeeper said in unison: "Come in!" β
The young man pushed the door into the house, and then quickly closed the door, as if to prevent a thief. Then he walked quickly to the strong man and the shopkeeper, gasped and said, "That...... The man came in...... Entered King Ning's Mansion! β
The strong man and the shopkeeper glanced at each other, and the shopkeeper said, "It seems that we guessed right." I just don't know if Gao Zijian will be tempted. β
The strong man couldn't help but sneer: "If he dares to move, Lao Tzu can't spare him!" Even if he fights to death, Lao Tzu will slaughter him! β
"What nonsense?" The shopkeeper suddenly scolded angrily, "It was said above, Gao Zijian can't die, don't come nonsense!" β
"Humph!" The strong man was a little dissatisfied, "Is it possible to keep his life alive with such a dog thing?" It's too ...... on it too."
"Shut up!" The shopkeeper heard him talk more and more excessively, his face suddenly turned pale, he scolded angrily, and saw that the strong man was so angry that his muscles were bulging, so he lowered his voice and said meaningfully, "Don't think nonsense, the above means, Gao Zijian only needs to live." β
"As long as you live...... the strong man's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, the people above don't want to protect him?" β
The shopkeeper smiled coldly: "How is it possible." β
The strong man suddenly couldn't help laughing: "That's good, that's good!" Then you're welcome. β
They were quietly discussing here, and the middle-aged Confucian who entered King Ning's Mansion had already seen Gao Zijian. Gao Zijian sat on the main seat, supported his forehead with one hand, and looked at the middle-aged Confucian student with an expressionless face.
The middle-aged Confucian said: "Your Royal Highness, rest assured, they are only borrowing from Daning, and they will never disturb the people of Daning." As long as His Royal Highness the Prince of the World gives it a convenience, the benefits of His Royal Highness the Prince will never be lost afterwards. β
Gao Zijian was still expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was tempted at all, his eyes looked at the middle-aged Confucian student suspiciously, like a poisonous snake staring at his prey: "Benefits? I am the prince of King Ning, and the whole of Daning is mine, what good things do I not have? Do you think I'm going to take a fancy to your benefits? β
The middle-aged Confucian student's face changed slightly, and then he smiled confidently, took out a parchment roll from his sleeve pocket, and offered it with both hands: "This is half of the thanks, His Royal Highness may wish to take a look, as long as the matter is done, my Khan will order someone to offer the other half of the thanks." β
Gao Zijian sneered disdainfully and ordered someone to present the parchment roll. After seeing the contents inside, his face suddenly changed.
This is really a big deal!
Such a big stroke, just to take advantage of Daning and enter the Central Plains to plunder? Gao Zijian shook his head silently in his heart, if he believed this Confucian nonsense, he would be a pig's brain!
was about to refuse, but the Faint Monarch System suddenly said loudly: "Host, promise him quickly!" β
Gao Zijian was shocked: "What nonsense are you talking about?" That Ye Zhu obviously wants to invade the Central Plains, how can I agree to him? β
The faint monarch system said: "Host, then Ye Cha is just a bunch of barbarians, how can he enter the Central Plains?" You promised him, just in time to use this Ye to consume the army of the imperial court! When the time comes, both Ye Chai and Gao Zi Xin will be defeated, and you can take advantage of the situation to rise up, destroy Ye Chai and seize the throne! β
When Gao Zijian heard this, he was immediately moved.
It's just that he still hesitated: "This ...... But if I do this, I will inevitably be scolded by the world, and how will I be the emperor at that time? β
The Dull Monarch system knew that he was already tempted, so he took the opportunity to follow the temptation and said, "Why should the host worry? You are just the prince of King Ning now, how can you be the lord of King Ning? As long as this matter is pushed to King Ning's head at that time, just say that King Ning agrees, and you resolutely oppose it, isn't it? As long as you destroy Ye Chau in the end, you will naturally be able to block the mouths of the world. You know, history has always been written by the victors! β
When Gao Zijian heard this, he was even more moved. However, he still didn't agree directly, but deliberately snorted coldly and ordered: "Come on, drag this person down for me!" β
The middle-aged Confucian student's face suddenly changed greatly, he had been paying attention to the change in Gao Zijian's face just now, and he could clearly see that Gao Zijian had been tempted, why did he suddenly change his mind now?
"Your Highness! Your Highness, please think about it again, don't be quick for a while, and regret it for life! The middle-aged Confucian shouted, and was quickly dragged down.
After he was dragged down, Gao Zijian ordered: "Just lock him up for a few days and give him some steamed buns." β
Only by letting this person suffer a little first, then he will ask for a sky-high price.
The Faint Monarch System couldn't help but praise: "The host is really wise, he can come up with such a method. After a few days like this, he will definitely be obedient. β
Gao Zijian was praised by it, and immediately laughed triumphantly.
At the same time, Taiping encountered the first major crisis after becoming a human!
