32. The Smiling Lamb
The nights at Rocky Harbour are longer, and at the northern end of the land is a series of cliffs, and the sun rises from the open sea on the east side, waiting for the sun to climb along the coast over these steep rocks before shining through the window. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the temple square of the remaining capital, Lord Ying was slipping off his bed, he freshened up a little carelessly, put on the clothes of yesterday, and came to the cellar located thirty meters below the temple.
The devotee has a mark on the back of his neck that resembles a fishhook, and he is now busy arranging the wide long table in the middle.
There was a false window on the wall directly behind the table, and a large map hung on it.
Ei-sama passed by the man who had stopped to salute him, and Yamataka was standing waiting for him.
He strode up to the ledge and looked up at the map of the sheepskin.
The eagle handed over a delicate cane, and he held it up, pointing to the northernmost point of the picture with the end of the smiling lamb carved into it.
"How long does it take to get from here to the northern gate?"
As she asked, she drew a thread on the sheepskin with a rattan cane.
"If you don't count crossing the wasteland, it's at least three months, and of course it depends on the weather."
"This is their old nest," he said, pointing to the top corner of the northeast side, "on one side of the sea, on the other side is the impassable mountain cliff, where the remnants of the Secret Society have been entrenched for many years, and there are quite a few of them, just because it is separated from the wasteland, so our people can't get by." ”
Shanying didn't think it was strange, on the contrary, he looked very relieved: "It's not easy for people over there to come over, and it's not easy to ......."
"That drawing is gone," Lord Ying took a step back with a stern expression, and used a rattan cane to stabilize his center of gravity, "The power of the Dark Society has penetrated, taking advantage of this year's wind and snow, I am afraid that there will be more people, we must remain extremely vigilant......"
Mountain Eagle nodded submissively.
Ying-sama looked at this person intently: "Except for you, I'm afraid I don't have anyone to trust......"
――――――――――
Kushui Alley is built with a generous house, and there are full-time people at the entrance of the alley who patrol day and night.
The whole alley is paved with neat stone slabs, which are brushed twice a day in the morning and evening, and the light can show the shadows of people.
This is a famous landmark in the remaining capital, named after the bitter well water at the end of the alley.
It is inhabited by the highest powers, as well as the worldly lords and all kinds of wealthy people.
Little Snowball was one of the first people to wake up today, and she followed the scrubbing crowd, hid the flowers in her pocket, and then carefully sorted them out and raised them in a wooden tube.
She had laid the flowers on her master's table, and the robe that had been hotded, and plunged headlong into the fluffy bed.
"Get up! Slacker! You're going to be late......"
She pulled a man's arm out of the covers, and the man didn't move for a while.
She could only use her foot to touch a place that she didn't know if it was her lower back, and forcefully pulled away the quilt that the man was covering his head, and grabbed her hair with one hand.
"Get up! If you can't make it, I'm dead! ”
She was busy with all her might, and she screamed hoarsely.
The man on the bed withdrew his hand with a "swish", and the little snowball couldn't stand the force, and rolled off the bed with a "goo".
As if he knew in advance, the man took advantage of the situation and grabbed her before she landed.
Then he fell asleep again.
The little snowball was really on fire at this time, turned around and picked up the kettle behind him, and threw it on the bed.
The man sat up abruptly, and the tea fell down his hair.
His face turned red, and he opened his mouth to scold, but who knew that Xiao Xueqiu was even more powerful, and she waved her hand to raise her voice: "Don't speak!" I'm still angry! Your father paid me to take care of you, but he didn't have to wake you up! ”
"Are you the master or am I the master?"
"I don't care!" Although she was unforgiving, she still took something in her hand and wiped it on the man's head indiscriminately, "You ran out and were almost discovered, and I almost died!" ”
The man reached out and grabbed Snowball's head, pushed it back, and borrowed strength to stand up.
This man has slender limbs, slender eyes, extremely deep black pupils, a heartless smile at any time, the corners of his mouth are curved upward, and he looks full of ruffians.
He picked up the robe on the table with one hand and slipped it down his head.
The robe was woven from white threads, with a gray necklace near the collar and a shawl of the same color beyond.
Every time I wear this dress, I feel ugly from the bottom of my heart.
Little Snowball watched from the side and wanted to come up to help, but he blocked her outstretched hand: "If you dare to tell me about it, I will sell you!" ”
"If you dare to threaten me, I'll tell your father right away!"
Little Snowball gritted her teeth and grinned.
"Little Budian," he paused and smiled maliciously, "Are you afraid that I will meet a girl late at night, and I won't want you when I come back?" ”
Little Snowball's face immediately turned red under her neck, and she didn't say a word she could understand for a long time.
Ao Fei came up with a smug face, deliberately raised his eyebrows seductively, and lowered his voice a little lower: "Don't worry, even if I really have a girl, you are the only one who dares to wake me up." ”
After saying that, he left this little cloth dot in place, covered his face in place, and stomped his feet vigorously.
It was a windy day outside, and he walked straight through the crowded Temple Square.
Everyone looked at his eye-catching white robe, and whispered to each other while avoiding it.
However, he did not shy away from the boiling in the crowd, and only cared about moving forward unhurriedly along the way of getting out of the way.
Until someone stood up desperately: "My lord! Are all those rumors true? ”
He paused slowly, and looked around at the crowd of heads.
Everyone fell silent, their expressions showing concern for the answer.
"Rumors?" He asked rhetorically, but no one dared to answer, so he could only smile and continue, "What rumors?" ”
The people before and after the sentence broke out in shock, doubts and angry curses were heard in the distance, the space around him was shrinking rapidly, and everyone yelled at him for a suitable explanation.
He didn't flinch, and waved his hand indifferently: "Okay, okay, I'll go in and ask for clarification in a while!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and pushed aside the person at his feet and was about to leave.
"Your Excellency!" There are still people who refuse to give up, "What are we going to do next?" ”
"What's next? What were you doing before, do you want me to teach you? ”
That's what he said.
The crowd kept pushing and shoving until Aojin walked into the encirclement of the Consulate.
Finally escaping the chaos and squeezing up the front steps, the mountain eagle had been standing on the edge of the temple and watching him, then opened the temple door and turned half of his body to let him in.
The two men walked in silence, one after the other, until they stood still at the door of the cellar.
Ao Xiang glanced at the mountain eagle on the side, and saw that he didn't have a reaction, so he could only reach out and pull the door by himself, but the mountain eagle suddenly slapped on the door panel.
Ao Fei hurriedly took a step back and made a gesture of first invitation.
The mountain eagle looked him up and down viciously, and asked slowly, "Where are your things?" Otherwise, I wouldn't dare let you in. ”
"That's right," he immediately turned his head, "you go in and tell the people inside, I didn't bring it today, go back first!" ”
Then he did follow the path he had come from and prepared to leave.
A middle-aged man suddenly pushed open the door of the cellar, his body was the same white robe and gray edges as Aowen, and his pupils were similarly black, only slightly shorter by half a head.
He stared coldly at the two people outside the door, and the mountain eagle took a step back to the side respectfully, and even Ao Xiang returned with interest.
The two raised their eyes and looked at each other at a very close distance, and the middle-aged man took the lead in speaking: "Are you late......"
Ao Fei looked around the top of his head and into the cellar: "I don't seem to be the last, Lord Zhao!" ”
Akira-sama's right hand wears a wrench the size of a fingernail with a smiling lamb on it.
He rubbed his index finger back and forth on the wrench: "One is missing, the other is dead in his bed...... You're late! ”
