Chapter 0032: The Empress Dowager
"What is this money for?" Chen Mu returned the silver ticket to the lame man: "You plan to use these two hundred taels to compensate them and their mothers?" ”
The cripple bowed his head: "I also know it's a little less, but I don't have anything else." From now on, I will follow you, and I hope to make more money and save a coffin book. ”
"You don't expect your daughter?"
"What do you expect, I haven't been her father, why should I let her serve me? I don't even have the face to see her, and I want you to give her this money, and I'll just look at it from a distance. The cripple couldn't control his emotions again, and he burst into tears: "I don't want her to see what I look like now, old and lame, and just a little husband and sister." ”
"Okay, you old man! It's been a long day, you old boy is asking me for an official!? ”
"Hey, hey." Zhang lame smiled shamelessly, but his tears were still flowing.
Of course, Chen Mu knew that the cripple was revealing his true feelings, but he didn't want to see the cripple crying, so he used the topic to shout a few words, but he still sympathized with the lame man, and hoped that this time he returned to Luoyang, he could help him.
and promised to promote the crippled man, and the lame man walked away happily, saying that he would get Chen Mu a decent set of clothes.
The lame man came back not long after he went out, holding a set of clothes in his hand: "Look, this is what you wore when you first came to the army, I went to the warehouse to find Old Han Tou and came back." ”
Old Han Tou was the captain in charge of the equipment depot, and he once told Chen Mu that he was going to Wanhualou, but that time Chen Mu gave him two taels of silver and exchanged for a bright armor helmet. As for visiting Wanhualou, it's a joke. Time is eternal, and I don't know when. This matter has almost been forgotten by Chen Mu.
"Did he ask you for money?" Chen Mu took the clothes and unfolded them to look at them.
"No, I heard that it was for you to get clothes, so he took them out for me." The cripple helped Chen Mu change his clothes.
"Well, it's quite sensible." Chen Mu felt the fabric of this dress, and it was silky and smooth, which was of the highest quality.
It is a silver-white robe, with a pattern of auspicious clouds on the sleeves, but the connection is sewn with red thread, and the red thread is densely sewn, and from a distance, the silhouette of a person's figure is very distinct.
Chen Mu put on his clothes and stood in front of the mirror.
sighed in my heart: What a Wenxiu student.
This figure, this appearance, if it hadn't crossed the era before, I don't know how many bees and butterflies would have been attracted. Even in this feudal dynasty, it is estimated that it is easy to catch up with the girl.
Turning his head to look at the cripple, the cripple smiled strangely.
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes: "Did you say the word 'male pet'?" ”
The cripple hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I don't dare to say it, this time you said it yourself." ”
"You old boy, I know what you think when you smile."
"Hey, hey."
Chen Mu turned around and sat down, and asked curiously: "What, are there many male pets in Luoyang?" ”
The lame man said: "The more prosperous the world, the more exciting this thing is." There are so many rich women. And there are also those who are good at Longyang and have a habit of broken sleeves......"
"Okay, don't talk about it." Chen Mu waved his sleeves and said: "Now that there have been chaotic wars for many years, how can it still be called a prosperous era?" ”
The cripple said: "If this had been fought before, if it had been fought like this, the population would have been lost." But since the Empress Dowager sat in the harem, the way of the world has changed, and the Empress Dowager is a great inventor. Oh yes, the word 'inventor' was also invented by the Empress Dowager herself. She invented soap, soap, toothpaste, and so on, but it didn't matter, the most important thing was that she changed rice, which she called rice. After her improvement, the rice production doubled, and the population of our Liang Dynasty began to skyrocket. And she can also deal with locust plagues, and her method of curing locusts is very different from others, whenever there is a locust plague in a place, she will have people turn up the soil and say that the roots and seedlings of locusts have been cut off. It really worked. According to legend, the Empress Dowager pursued one thing throughout her life, which she called 'potatoes', which is said to resemble steamed buns growing in the soil. This sounds mysterious. It's a pity that in the end, the Empress Dowager didn't find this artifact. People say that the Empress Dowager is a goddess of heaven who came down to save sentient beings, and 'potato' may be one of her magic weapons, I don't know where it was left behind. ”
Chen Mu's heart suddenly warmed, and he asked, "The Empress Dowager is now in Luoyang?" ”
"Dead. Oh no, it's a stinger. Just over a month ago. It is estimated that you were injured. ”
"When did you find out?"
"Yesterday, I heard from a passing merchant."
"Oh......"
Chen Mu sat back in the chair thoughtfully and muttered something silently.
The lame man didn't hear clearly, and asked Chen Mu what he said?
Chen Mu drove the cripple out, asked the cripple to prepare a car, and it was estimated that he would board the journey to Luoyang tomorrow.
——
The next day, the east was twilighting, and the rooster was dawning.
There are more and more people in Jiuquan City, and even the roosters have been brought back, which makes people feel the breath of life more and more.
Chen Mu liked this feeling very much.
The cripple came and knocked on the door: "General Kong called you." ”
"Oh, I'll be right here." Chen Mu put on his clothes haphazardly and walked out.
When I came to the division headquarters, I met Kong Xiaoxian.
Kong Xiaoxian held a silver-edged waist card, handed his right hand alone, pinched the red spike, and the waist card swayed under his hand.
Kong Xiao first threw the waist card to Chen Mu, and then said: "Take the waist card and paperwork and go, but before you leave, I still have a few words I want to ask you." ”
"Big brother, please speak."
"Our brothers slammed their heads on the ground, and from then on we had nothing to talk about. In my letter to my uncle, I have already explained your situation. But I still feel that you have something to hide from me. Why, between our brothers, is there anything that can't be said? Kong Xiao first stared at Chen Mu's eyes and asked.
Chen Mu thought about it, and at this time, he should give Kong Xiaoxian a relatively "more reasonable" explanation.
Chen Mu suddenly clasped his fists and saluted: "My brother was seriously injured, and there is still a scar on his head, which is clearly visible and can be proven." After the fall, there are many things that I can't remember clearly, and this is a heartfelt statement. However, in front of my eldest brother, I didn't dare to hide it. In my impression, I escaped from Luoyang, perhaps...... Maybe it's something wrong. ”
"Hehe, that's right." Kong Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of any crime." As long as you have the Tang Gate Valve to support you, even if you kill someone, you can make a big deal small. Not to mention the ordinary people, what about the Jin Wuwei general? Qi Dongyang killed Lin Yangming with three punches, isn't Qi Dongyang still alive and well? It is said that his uncle will also promote him to be a general. It's just that some of the formalities haven't been completed yet. My uncle is very busy and has too many things to take care of. However, I think it is only a matter of time before Qi Dongyang Zhonglang will be general. I really hope that he can be a general, after all, he is Tang Zhen's person, and we are all on the same line. ”
Chen Mu nodded.
Kong Xiaoxian asked again: "Then what is your name?" Don't tell me, are you really the household registration of Wanhualou? How can there be men there, and if there are, they are also some rags, and besides these, there are ...... It's hard to say. And then there are men, and that's the illegitimate children of some prostitutes. But I don't think that's possible. A prostitute's illegitimate child, how can she have such combat power as you? ”
Chen Mu shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.
Kong Xiaoxian frowned: "Don't you be a child cultivated by the killer group, right?" They cultivate the next generation, and that is really bloody. Are you a killer? You want to get out of the killer group and run to the frontier? If that's the case, don't hide it from me. ”
Chen Mu said helplessly: "Brother, I can't remember any of this. If you don't believe me, then I won't go back to Luoyang. If you don't become a captain, you don't have a captain, and it's not a big deal. In the future, I will serve you before and after the saddle, and I will be satisfied as a captain. ”
"Hahahaha!" Kong Xiaoxian laughed and said, "How can that be done? You are my brother, how can you be wronged? Okay, I won't ask, you can do it yourself. When you go back to Luoyang this time, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to find the eighteenth son. You are my man, his man. See what I mean? ”
"Understood!"
