Chapter Ninety-Four: The Hundred-Foot Landlord
The door creaked, and a woman walked in with a pot of tea, she casually looked out of the door, and when she saw that no one was paying attention, she turned her head, put the kettle down, and landed on one knee, her voice was slightly excited: "Yun Zhao has seen the eldest lady!" After speaking, he looked up, and his eyes glistened with tears.
Jiang Mei helped her up with one hand, looked at her in a daze, and chuckled: "I see that you have lost a lot of weight, you have been under a lot of pressure over the years, and you have worked hard!" ”
"It's nothing, to be able to take in so many lonely and helpless children, it is also my wish..."When she thought of her child who died young, tears could not stop flowing, and now when she sees every sick or fatherless child, she is like seeing her own child, in Jingling for so many years, she has been doing good deeds in addition to completing the main task, and her life is quite satisfying.
"Good! Sister Yun Zhao, maybe our hope will come true soon! Jiang Mei said with a smile.
Yun Zhao poured her a cup of tea, handed it to her, and sat on the couch with her. After Jiang Mei took the teacup, she said, "Let people stare at the guard who came in with me, he is from the Hundred Feet Building." ”
"Understood! It has been commanded to go down. These days, there is a lot of movement in the 100-foot building, and it seems that their people have also arrived at Jingling, so Miss should be more guarded! Yun Zhao said.
Jiang Mei nodded, "I asked Yiyun Pavilion to investigate some things, and as soon as there is news, report them to me immediately." ”
"Okay, Miss let's rest for a while!" After saying that, he served her to lie on the couch, and after helping her cover the quilt, he went out softly and left.
Jiang Mei didn't wake up until late in the evening, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she smelled the smell of meat, and without thinking about it, she knew that Fei Lian had roasted a chicken. Ruoxue was also in the room at this time, and when she woke up, she immediately prepared water for her to wash.
Fei Lian took off his mask and said gently: "Miss, this is a pheasant that was just brought in the afternoon, and I also put some vegetables, can you try it and see if it tastes?" ”
Jiang Mei got up and rinsed her mouth with water. Beckoning Fei Lian and Ruoxue to sit on the couch with her, the three of them looked at the chicken on the plate, you look at me, I look at you, how to divide only two chicken legs? Ruoxue smiled: "You guys eat chicken legs!" I love to eat wings! As he spoke, he withdrew a chicken wing. Ate it.
Jiang Mei and Fei Lian each broke a chicken leg and gnawed it without caring about their image. The two of them looked at each other and laughed as they gnawed, as if they were eating faster than anyone else, so that they could grab the rest of the chicken wings first.
Just when Fei Lian wanted to pull his wings, "I want wings!" Jiang Mei saw that Fei Lian finished eating the chicken leg one step ahead of her. Howe yelled at the end of his mouthful of chicken.
Where did Fei Lian listen to her, deliberately pulled the remaining wings and shook it in front of her, and said happily in her heart: It seems that she is still the same, she always grabbed the chicken leg as soon as she could, and grabbed the wings after eating the chicken leg, but every time she chewed the slowest, when others finished eating the wings, she was still gnawing on the chicken leg there.
Jiang Mei had no choice but to ignore him and continue to nibble on her chicken legs. By the way, staring pitifully at the meat on the back of the chicken. In fact, she is not slow to eat at all, but why can't she eat others?
Ruoxue and Fei Lian couldn't help but chuckle when they saw her serious look.
If it is said that everyone takes into account the order of respect and humility on weekdays, they all obey Jiang Mei's orders, but when she eats roast chicken and game, no one will let her. No, Ruoxue and Fei Lian finished eating the meat in their hands again and began to divide the rest of the chicken.
Jiang Mei looked at the two of them with an angry expression, and in order to keep the last piece of chicken back meat, she bit the remaining chicken leg with her mouth. Both hands began to grab the chicken back. So the three hands danced in the already messy dish.
"Mine!"
"Don't rob!"
"Haha... Miss, you're drooling! ”
"Let it go, or I'll get saliva on your clothes."
"You can't be such a scoundrel..."
"Haha... My chicken"
The three of them smiled and looked proud. Jiang Mei also grabbed a piece of meat as she wished. Finish the last piece of chicken thigh and continue to nibble on the chicken back.
When Yun Zhao came in from the secret passage, he saw a mess on the couch and three people with minced faces. And, of course, the smell of roast chicken fills the room.
"What did General Fei take my dock for?" Yun Zhao glanced at Fei Lian and said angrily.
Fei Lian wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "This is an inn!" ”
Yun Zhao gave him a blank look. handed the washed cloth towel to Jiang Mei and asked her to wipe her face, and then Ruoxue also helped clean up the house.
Yun Zhao poured water for Jiang Mei and said, "There is news from Jiuzhu that Ling Heng has led his troops to Jiangxia early this morning, and Mu Shizi only has 5,000 troops to defend the city. ”
When it came to business, Fei Lian also said with a straight face: "Xu Xiaoyuan has received the news, he is reorganizing the army, and in order not to attract the attention of Dayan, he will send troops to rescue Jiang Xia tonight, and it is estimated that he will go to Yuncheng first." ”
"Good! Sister Zhao, you prepare pen and ink, I will personally write a letter to General Qiu in Suijun, asking him to send troops to help Yuncheng tomorrow. Jiang Mei looked a little worried, how could Mu Xiao and the five thousand people resist Xu Xiaoyuan's army, so she had to bring him rescuers.
When Yun Zhao heard this, he immediately took the pen and ink, spread out the silk cloth, and asked Jiang Mei to write a letter.
Jiang Mei grabbed her sleeves, held the pen in her hand, and a few lines of elegant small characters jumped on the paper. After writing it, she asked Yun Zhao to put it away and send it to Suijun immediately.
It was four o'clock in the night, and in an ancient temple in the west of Jingling City, a man in a black cloak sat on the top end, and several men in black at the bottom of the steps were reporting something to him.
"Landlord, Xu Xiaoyuan has secretly organized his troops out of the city, and it seems that he is looking in the direction of Yuncheng." A man said respectfully to the man on the upper position.
"Well, are we all ready?" The owner of the building wore a human skin mask, and his tone was calm.
"It's all arranged according to your instructions!" The man replied solemnly again.
The landlord nodded, as if in deep thought. At this time, another attendant came in and said, "Landlord, there is a disciple outside the door who claims to be a disciple of the Hundred Feet Building, saying that he has something to report." ”
The face with the human skin mask lifted up and said, "Let him in." ”
Then, the attendant led another man in black into the temple hall.
The landlord stared at the visitor motionlessly, the corners of his mouth seemed to move slightly, but through the mask, no one could see his expression. "You're back!" The sound seemed to come from the abdomen, and it was as strong as a pine.
"Dongcheng greets the landlord!" Dongcheng looked at the master in the hall with an excited expression, then landed on one knee and bowed his head and said. He has been infiltrating the capital for seven years, in addition to regularly reporting the situation in the capital to the building, he has rarely contacted the brothers in the building, and this time he seized such an opportunity to finally see the owner of the building, he was very happy.
He lowered his head and heard a sigh from above, "Get up!" ”
"Thank you, Lord!" Dongcheng finally got up and looked up at the landlord.
"Why did you come to Jingling?" The landlord asked slowly. (To be continued.) )
PS: Xiao He was squeezing the subway this morning, and was accidentally stepped on, Xiao He suddenly became popular, just raised his eyebrows and looked, I went, this man looks like my dish, so he immediately smiled, and the man with black-framed glasses said apologetic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," but unfortunately Xiao He thought at that time: If you promise yourself, I will forgive you!
Haha, everyone is not allowed to laugh at Xiao Hejun! Keep asking for an automatic subscription!
