Chapter 354: Race Against Time (1)
"This ...... I don't know what to say ...... yet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Dong Zhizhong thought for a while and said, "But what you just said is right, in the face of the big right and wrong, I will definitely choose the side of the people." But if I say that I have now answered you and lent you the horses at the inn, then I will always have to think of a suitable reason to prevaricate, right......? ā
"That is to say, Lord Dong, are you willing to lend us the horse at the post station?" Nangong Xue hurriedly asked when she heard this.
"Hmm...... That's right...... If I really want to borrow it, I can also lend it to you, even if I lend it to you, then I always have to tell the people up and down to give a suitable reason to ......, otherwise I will not be able to eat and walk ......away. Dong Zhizhong said lightly, "Please also understand my hardships...... ā
"Hmm...... I get it. Nangong Xue said, "That's really bothering you......." ā
"Oops...... It's not a problem...... You are doing this for the sake of the toiling people. Dong Zhizhong said, "And helping you now is also what I should do...... no matter what, we are all for the people to avoid the suffering of this war." ā
"Hmm...... You're absolutely right. When Nangong Hai heard this, he praised repeatedly, "It's really a blessing for the imperial court to have an official like you who understands righteousness at this time......." ā
āā¦ā¦ In fact, I am also repaying the emperor's cultivation of ....... Dong Zhizhong said lightly, "You don't know that back then, if the emperor hadn't appreciated me, I would not have been able to enter Nanxuan Academy to study, and it would have been even more impossible to enter the court as an official." I can have this official position today because of the emperor's favor. Now that the emperor is in trouble, and the capital is in crisis, how can I just sit idly by? And it's not in line with my principles....... ā
"Well, we're really glad you did." Nangong Hai nodded slightly and replied. As he spoke, Dong Zhizhong suddenly thought of an idea, so he exclaimed softly, "Yes, I know what to say." This is also a trip to the back kitchen with me...... ā
"...... to the back kitchen?" Nangong Xue couldn't help but be a little curious when she heard this, and said softly, "What does this borrowed horse have to do with this back kitchen...... What does this Lord Dong mean......? ā
But just when she was puzzled, she suddenly thought of something, so she hurriedly followed and asked, "Master Dong...... Shouldn't you want to ...... Then let's lead the horse out for the sake of purchasing in the back kitchen, shall we? ā
"Hey...... You guessed it right. Dong Zhizhong replied with a smile, "I thought about it, there are really some things that need to be replenished in this back kitchen recently, and the source of the supply to our post station is outside the city, that is to say, you can take this opportunity to lead the horse out, and then you can do what you should do after that, and I will let people transport it back when you go back to replenish the goods, and when you finish your work, no one will doubt you when you come back when you grow up...... Isn't that great? ā
"Huh...... Can't you see that your head is moving quite fast? Nangong Xue said, "Your trick is not bad, but have you ever thought about it, that is, you escorted us out safely, but when the carriage you replenished came back, it was a horse, and if the guards guarding the city asked, how would you explain it?" In that case, don't you just tell people that you have a problem? That's not right. We can't get you ....... ā
"Hey......." Dong Zhizhong sighed lightly and said, "I can't control so much at this time, as long as I let you go out of the city as soon as possible to persuade the truce is a matter of urgency, as for how to explain to the city guards after my replenishment carriage comes back, that's a later story, then you don't care about me, I'll just find a way then, anyway, as long as I solve the matter of you going out of the city, I can do anything." ā
āā¦ā¦ćā After hearing Dong Zhizhong's words, Nangong Xue and Nangong Hai glanced at each other, and after exchanging glances, Nangong Hai said, "It seems that there is no other way, if we can't get a horse, it will be really inconvenient for the two of us, and there is not enough time." It's not impossible to go, it's just that it's too long to go back and forth, in case something happens during this period, Dad and Grandpa can't cope ......with it, and if this matter can't be rushed, I'm afraid that there will be something unnecessary again, then we will be more passive....... ā
"Uh......." Although even Nangong Hai said so, Nangong Xue was still a little uneasy in her heart, she always felt that her eyelids were beating badly, and her heart couldn't calm down, although she felt this way in her heart, she still didn't know how to tell Nangong Hai. But thinking of the urgency of the situation, Nangong Xue had no choice but to admit it, so she nodded slightly and replied, "Since even brother you said so, then what else can I say, we can only finish the matter as soon as possible, and then return the leased horse to Lord Dong as soon as possible, and try to minimize some unnecessary ......troubles." ā
"Uh-huh......." After speaking, Nangong Hai nodded lightly and responded. Immediately, Dong Zhizhong smiled and reassured, "That's right, you don't have to worry too much about me, anyway, I have at least stayed here at the north gate for a while, after all, there are so many guards guarding the city I still recognize, if there is something wrong, I will talk to those familiar guards, please ask them for a favor is not impossible." As long as the two of you get out of town smoothly, it's done, and you really don't have to worry too much about the rest. ā
"That's what you say...... But I always felt ....... Nangong Xue couldn't help but vomit a little, and then Dong Zhizhong continued, "Since you are borrowing a horse from me, then you just have to take the horse away, you don't have to worry about other things, and you don't need to take care of it, I can deal with it completely, and although I am not a big official, even if there is a problem, then I can still solve this problem, you can just do everything you want to do with peace of mind, understand...... ā
āā¦ā¦ćā Hearing Dong Zhizhong say this, Nangong Xue looked at Dong Zhizhong in a daze and didn't know what to say for a while, Nangong Hai on the side saw this scene, so he gently patted Nangong Xue's shoulder and said, "Xiaoxue, don't forget what our purpose is this time...... These things can only be solved after we are done, and I come back to help solve them, of course, I don't want to have an accident, so the two of us can only speed up the pace and strive for more time to come out ......, don't let people Dong make it difficult for him to do this, don't you say it's ......?
