20 On the other side of the hill
Speaking of King Sheng and Hibiscus, the two of them climbed over the not too high hillside, and their eyes were open. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields, the sky is firm, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and shows the cattle and sheep! King Sheng didn't know that there was such a place not far from this capital!
The grassland is open, the river runs through, the cattle and sheep are herded, and the tents are lined up, and it is peaceful. It's just that by the river, the extremely high fence outside the large tent and the constantly moving guards seem so incongruous with everything around them.
There must be a reason for something to go wrong, King Sheng and Hibiscus glanced at each other and headed towards the nearest herdsman.
"Big brother, how long have you been grazing here?" Hibiscus asked.
"Every year, my family has been a herder for generations." The herdsmen are simple and answer all questions.
"What's going on this year?" Hibiscus set almost asked.
"Okay, look at how fertile this grass is." The herdsman replied with a smile.
"Yes, grazing here every year, is there anything different this year." Hibiscus asked.
"It's just that there are more strange people." The herdsman pointed to the guarded place.
"Oh, what's so strange?" Hibiscus asked.
"I've lived here for more than ten days, and I haven't seen cattle and sheep grazing." The herdsman replied.
"Maybe it's a person who sees the beautiful scenery here and plays?" Hibiscus talked.
"It's not like it, the people in there have never come out." The herder said.
"Then you have to eat and drink." Hibiscus said.
"The steward asks me to bring a sheep every day." The herder said.
"Did you send the sheep today?" King Sheng asked.
"Not yet, I'll send it after grazing." The herder said.
"Looking at your sheep, I feel fat, can I sell two of them?" Of course, Hibiscus understands the mind of his own prince.
"My sheep are the fattest in the whole grassland, sell you two." The herdsmen's faces are full of pride.
"Thank you." Hibiscus pulled out a silver ingot.
"That's a lot, but there are scattered pieces of silver." The herdsman looked at the big silver ingot and didn't dare to take it.
"Take it, you're the fattest sheep on the prairie!" Hibiscus stuffed the silver into the herdsmen's hands.
"Thank you, thank you." The herdsmen looked at the silver ingots, their faces were full of pride and joy, and they were more energetic in herding the sheep.
"Brother Laojia, can you give us two of your clothes, just the old ones." Hibiscus asked.
"Of course, the money you gave you can buy two new ones, both of which are rich, you can go back to the account with me and get them." The herdsman said, gesturing to a tent not far away.
The two followed the herdsman to his tent and changed into the herdsman's clothes, which was considered a good fit.
"This son wears the clothes of our herdsmen, and he doesn't look like a herdsman, but a bit like our patriarch." The herdsman looked at King Sheng and said.
"Hehe, you're laughing." Mu Hibiscus smiled and said that his master's extravagance and domineering spirit could not be covered by this clothes.
"Can you give me this hat?" King Sheng pointed to the hanging hat and said to the herdsmen.
"Here you go." The herdsman took it off and handed it to King Sheng with both hands, it was a hat with a hole in it, which was used for shading the sun during grazing, and he had already bought a new one, and the old one had not yet had time to throw away.
"Thank you." Shengwang said.
After changing his clothes and changing his outfit, Hibiscus took the two sheep and walked with the Sheng Dynasty on the fence.
"Big brother, your sheep today." Hibiscus said with a smile on her face.
"What's wrong with someone today?" The caretaker asked.
"My eldest brother was sick, so he replaced me." Hibiscus said.
"Who's that man?" The caretaker pointed to King Sheng, who was holding a sheep behind Hibiscus.
King Sheng lowered his head slightly and pressed his hat down, covering most of his face.
"Oh, I'm here to bring you sheep too! You're a big customer! If you have more than 10 in my house, you will receive one free of charge. Hibiscus said.
"Sent? Then take it. So saying, the guard came up and took the rope of the sheep.
King Sheng pierced a silver needle into the sheep, the sheep became manic, and wanted to escape, but the hibiscus hurriedly grabbed the rope in the guard's hand and said: "This beast has been raised for a long time, and it also recognizes people a little, or will I go forward for you?" ”
"What a brute, I'll slaughter you tonight, let's take it in." The caretaker glared at the restless sheep and said.
King Sheng and Mu Hibiscus led a sheep and walked in.
There were five tents inside the enclosure, each of which could accommodate about 10 people.
The Sheng Dynasty Hibiscus gave a look and led the sheep towards a tent, and the hibiscus understood and walked towards the other tent.
King Sheng pretended to tie the sheep to the stake of the fixed tent, and then quietly opened the curtain of the tent gently, and a beam of light penetrated it, and in the dark and quiet tent, there were about ten people, all of whom were old and weak, women and children, dressed in shabby clothes, huddled together, like fleeing. The originally quiet crowd was disturbed by this ray of light. Seeing that they were crowded more tightly, by the light, King Sheng saw the fear and uneasiness on their faces, and even trembled, and some of them even let out a weak exclamation, for fear of alarming the guards outside the fence, King Sheng quickly lowered the curtain of the door, and really went to tie the sheep.
After tying the sheep in a good way, King Sheng looked around, dodged towards the next tent, opened the corner of the curtain and looked in, the same scene as the previous tent. Then I went to see the next one, but it was a luxurious tent, this luxury is naturally compared with the previous one, this tent has a big sleeping bunk, like a farmer's kang in the suburbs of Beijing. The kang is a little messy, but it can be seen that there are five pillows, and there is a waist card on the side of one of the pillows, which is clearly the waist card of the eighteen guards! On the table, poured wine, leftover meat, and littered bones exuded a foul smell. King Sheng covered his nose and left.
On the other hand, what Hibiscus saw was different from what King Sheng saw! In that tent, there were about a dozen young and beautiful girls, all blindfolded, bound hands and feet, scattered on the ground, probably drugged.
"What are you two doing in a hurry!" The guard yelled at the two of them.
"Right away." The hibiscus echoed, and the sheep was tied.
The master and servant glanced at each other and walked together towards the guard.
"Uncle, I've bolted it for you. My sheep, the meat is delicious, the price is fair, if you book forty, we will give you ten more, according to the day you need a sheep, you pay forty days, you can eat fifty days of sheep, this is not too cost-effective. Hibiscus looked like a patron of the patron.
"I can't stay that long." The caretaker shook his head and said.
"Oh, that's a pity, such a good deal." Mu Hibiscus said in a pitiful tone, but in fact, he was secretly refreshed, whoever wants to sell you sheep actually wants to know how long you people who are obviously not herdsmen plan to stay in this grassland!
King Sheng glanced approvingly at Hibiscus and motioned to leave.
"Your kid's business experience is really good, not like the herdsmen on this grassland, much better than your eldest brother." The caretaker said.
"Where, uncle, you are busy, the little one said goodbye, and you have to go back to herd the sheep!" Kapok said.
The master and servant walked away quickly, about a hundred and ten meters away, and exchanged views of each other.
"Those girls should be related to the uproar about the disappearance of the girl in the capital, it turned out that they were hiding here, and they really knew how to hide, and they were blind to the group of wine bags and rice bags, and they were closed and searched for brothels!" Mu Hibiscus said that the wine bag and rice bag in his mouth were talking about the 18 guards in the capital who managed the case of the disappearance of the girl sponsored by the capital public security. However, the eighteenth guard chief is a protégé of Jia Xiang, and he is very arrogant and no one dares to provoke him. Of course, this does not include his master, it's just that his master has told to keep this person, otherwise, he would have let the head of the guard be moved.
"Disappearances? I'm afraid it's not that simple, there are at least 20 old and weak women and children dressed as refugees guarding here, if it is a simple disappearance, it is nothing more than a picture of wealth, and those old and weak women and children will only be a burden to them. King Sheng analyzed.
"Who will be behind this?" At this time, Mu Hibiscus was like a hundred thousand whys, looking at his master with expectant eyes, hoping to get an answer.
"There are thieves who shout to catch thieves." King Sheng said.
"Eighteen Wei did it? That must have been instructed by Jia Xiang! But what is the purpose of Jia Xiang's doing? Hibiscus asked with a confused expression.
"When the water is muddy, it's naturally easy to fish." King Sheng said.
"Huh?" Hibiscus looked confused, not understanding his master's words.
"So many yellow flower girls have disappeared inexplicably, and people in the capital are now panicking, where can they still care about the Jinzhou flood!" King Sheng explained.
"Oh, my lord, I see it." Mu Hibiscus immediately understood the relationship between the refugee and the girl, and looked at his master with admiration, why is he so smart.
"Jia Xiang's game, I'm afraid it's more than that......" King Sheng said with some scruples, but was interrupted by an immature question.
"Big brother, don't go any further, the grass is not good." A sheep herder told King Sheng and Mu Hibiscus that the child had treated them as herdsmen.
"Thank you little brother for reminding me, my brother doesn't herd sheep." Hibiscus pinched the child's fleshy face.
"Don't herd sheep? So what? The sheep herder asked with big eyes.
"Well, enjoy the scenery of the grassland, we are passing by." Mu Hibiscus racked his brains to come up with such a sentence, this child, I'm afraid that in addition to herding sheep, he is herding sheep.
"Passing by, you're not from this grassland?" The little sheep herding baby asked.
"We're from the slope side." Hibiscus points in the direction he came.
"Have you seen Xiao Ni then? She said that there were a lot of delicious food and fun outside the grassland, and she promised that I would come back to find my mother when I found it, and she also promised to take me outside to play. The little sheep baby said, with a look of grievance after being deceived.
"Xiao Ni? Isn't she from here? How did you meet? Mu Hibiscus asked, the little Ni in this child's mouth can't be the little Ni that Miss Su picked up, this is too coincidental.
"She's not." The little sheep herding baby replied.
"How did you meet?" Hibiscus asked.
"She ran out of there and chased her alone, trying to get him back. That's the guard. It's all bad guys there. The little sheep herder pointed to the guards who were walking around the fence and said, "I hid him in my house, and then she went to find her mother." ”
"Where's his mother?" Hibiscus asked.
"She said her mother was sick and taken away by the bad guys." The little sheep herding baby replied.
"Have you ever seen that bad guy?" Hibiscus asked.
"Yes, he has a scar on his face, it's scary." The little sheep herder gestured to his cheek.
Speaking of which, Mu Hibiscus understood, wasn't this the little gangster, no wonder Xiaoni was so scared when she saw the gangster. Of course, King Sheng has also understood.
"Let's go." King Sheng said.
"Here's this for you, it's delicious outside, and there's a lot of fun outside, when you grow up, you can go outside to see." Hibiscus took out a piece of candy from her bosom and handed it to the little sheep herding baby.
"Thank you! When I'm older, I'll go outside and see. The little sheep herder took the candy and said seriously.
"There are a lot of bad guys out there, too." King Sheng said coldly.
"I'm not afraid." The little sheep herding baby looked at King Sheng a little scared, but still said stubbornly.
King Sheng didn't answer, glanced at Hibiscus, and walked in the direction he came, and Hibiscus hurriedly followed. After turning over the hillside and seeing the marks left by Kapok, the two of them flew towards the bamboo sea with light skills.
