Chapter 229: Baodi
Zhu Zhitong hurriedly covered up and said: "Oh, this is the kind person I met on the road and let me hitchhike." Thanks to them, I've walked a lot less! ”
Qiu Yue saw that Zhu Zhitong was speechless and did not move, and immediately bowed very cooperatively: "The grass people have seen the general." Being able to escort His Royal Highness back to the capital is a blessing for the grass people. ”
He is a dignified Zishou, a descendant of the emperor of a country, and he is always a little arrogant, although he saluted, his waist still refused to fold too much, and he only nodded slightly, and there were no ordinary people who saw the panicked appearance of the officers and soldiers, but the eagle tail on the side was much more respectful.
Tiehua saw that although the two of them were very wary of themselves, they always cared about Zhu Zhitong, and it was difficult to hide their desire to defend them, so she didn't care about them at the moment, but only said "oh", turned to Zhu Zhitong and said, "Then please ask Your Highness to get in the car first, and the last general will open the road before His Highness's car." ”
Zhu Zhitong looked back at Qiu Yue, full of gratitude and wanted to say something. Helplessly, Tiehua was in front of him, lest he be seen to have any flaws. She knew that if Qiu Yueshi's true identity was discovered, there would be endless troubles, so she had to lower her eyebrows and whisper softly: "Thank you." He turned around and walked away with Tiehua.
Qiu Yue was already very melancholy, and when she saw Zhu Zhitong gradually walking away, Fang said stupidly: "Eagle Tail, the place she went to, is it that I will never be able to go......"
Seeing that he was in a trance, Vultai's voice was like a fish in his throat when he was asked, and he swallowed the words in his mouth for a while.
She hesitated for a while, but still whispered in Qiu Yue's ear: "My lord, the general named Tiehua just now, the slave maid thinks something is very strange......"

Baodi Castle.
As the main city of the Imuran Blade Clan, the scale is not small, but because of the proximity to the border, the successive Blade chiefs did not dare to build the city too big because they were worried that it would be affected by the war. Instead, several small castles were built around Baodi Castle to help each other.
Prudence and shrewdness are the style of the blade clan.
Everyone in the world knows that the King of the Golden Blade loves gold more than anything, and the countless treasures he has collected are buried deep in the underground of Baodi City. It is said that the amount of gold and silver there is far greater than that hidden in the palace of the Golden Sword in the capital of Shakoye.
Of course, this is only a matter of saying.
Everyone knows that the Golden Blade King is rich.
No one knew how rich the Golden Blade King was.
This is really half a pound and eight taels compared to the Pei Guogong of Bihai Country.
However, in fact, the Golden Blade King not only hid gold and silver treasures in Baodi City, but also hid some important things and people.
Because sometimes, there are people who are more valuable than gold and silver.
For example, Mo Daqiu's parents.
All the big and small affairs of the Blade Clan in the capital of Taiye Country are all ordered by the Great Witch God Wen Lan directly, otherwise everything is ordered by Mo Daqiu.
He can be said to be the number two person in the Blade Clan in the capital of Taiye Country.
Such an important person, if you want to be far away in Baodi City or even Shakoye Dadu can be controlled at any time, you need to connect.
His parents are wired.
Therefore, the Golden Blade King Rob was very cautious about the placement of Mo Daqiu's parents, and he always kept it in a place that he could see under his nose.
Recently, though, Rob had to make a change.
The royal car of the lord Su You has arrived in Baodi, accompanied by the two elders of the Wen family and the patriarch of the Blood Eagle clan, and Luo Bu does not dare to slack off.
Oh, and it's not about pick-ups. Taking over this kind of thing is not a big deal for Rob, who has always spent a lot of money.
What he cared about was that according to the agreed outcome of the last Imperial Privy, it would not be long before Baodi City would be ceded to the Blood Clan, and it would no longer be his. Since Qi Lie will also enter Baodi City with the lord of the country, he can't let him see that there are still so many treasures in the city!
Gotta hurry up and get everything important...... There are also people who have moved to the small town next to them in advance, and it is expected that Qi Lie will not go to the small town on the side to check on anything.
That's the work of several generations of Blade people.
On this side, when Master Hao left Taiye City with Mo Daqiu's solemn entrustment, he rushed to Baodi City day and night. At this time, when the Imulan army arrived, the city gates were strictly checked.
But this is not a difficult thing for Master Hao. He had been well prepared before he went, including warrants to enter and exit the city gates, the broken silver of the guards, and the costume of a foot merchant. These are easy to get your hands on at the Imulan Merchant House.
So he easily entered the city.
But what happened next didn't go as smoothly as he imagined.
Master Hao's original plan was to quietly find Mo Daqiu's hometown, and then find an opportunity to find a carriage, and then take the two old men with him. He also prepared the warrants that the old people needed when they went out of the city, and when they went out of the city, they only needed to pretend that they were going back to the capital to save their relatives, and they could escape from Baodi City without realizing it.
He also expected that Rob would send soldiers to guard the door, but he believed that they were ordinary soldiers, and it should not be difficult to find a way to get some sweat medicine and quietly bring people out with his own efforts.
However, what he didn't expect was that it was easy to find the street where Mo Daqiu's hometown was, and found that Mo's house was actually an empty house, and there was not even a person.
He looked closely at the house, and found that the chicken coop in the yard was empty, but there was still a little fed millet on the ground, and there were no weeds in the bricks under the eaves, and it was certain that it had been inhabited not long ago.
Not a soul was there?
Master Hao knew that Rob was also in the city at this time, he couldn't understand the reason, and he didn't dare to stay in front of the house for too long for fear of being seen and suspicious, so he turned into an alley next to him and hid his figure, secretly thinking about what to do next.
At this time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a child of six or seven years old not far away, who was playing with a small whip and smoking a spinning top.
"Little brother, come here." Master Hao beckoned to the kid as pleasantly as possible.
The kid was not timid, and walked over as he said.
"Is this the area where you live?"
The child nodded.
"Look at your tiger brain, you must be very smart, is it good for your uncle to test you?"
Nodding again.
"Do you recognize the family on the side of the alley?"
"You said Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo?"
Master Hao was overjoyed!
"Yes, yes, you know them?"
"I know, Aunt Mo often chats with my grandmother, she has a black mole under her eye, isn't it?"
Master Hao heard Mo Daqiu talk about his mother's appearance, and he was even more convinced at the moment.
"Do you know where they went? Uncle just saw that there seemed to be no one in the house. ”
The child looked at Master Hao and spread his little hands.
Master Hao didn't understand what it meant.
"Give money, you said I was very smart, if I told you if I didn't take money, then I would be a fool."
This little rabbit cub looks like a chick, but I didn't expect it to be so old, and the children of our blade clan will be really immeasurable in the future.
Master Hao sighed secretly in his stomach, and honestly took out five copper plates from his pocket and handed them over.
"Here, five." Master Hao said and shook his other hand again, "If you make things clear, I'll give you five more sons." ”
The child replied in an old-fashioned manner: "It is worthy of being a businessman of our blade clan, and the deal is sold!" As he spoke, he pointed to the end of the alley and whispered: "They originally lived here, but they moved away a few days ago, and the eldest lady gave the spinning wheel to my grandmother before leaving, and I secretly heard her say that she was going to move to Thorn Rock City in the east." ”
Thorn Rock! Next to it is the Dongling warehouse.
Master Hao remembered the information he got before that the Golden Blade King had begun to move the gold and silver to the Dongling Treasury, and now he must have moved Uncle Mo and Aunt Mo over.
"When did they leave?"
"Yesterday evening."
"Who else?"
"Then I saw some soldiers taking them away."
"Okay, these five sons are yours." Master Hao handed over his other hand as well, ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, the child grabbed his sleeve and spread his hands again.
"How?"
"You'll have to give me five more sons."
"Hey, you little guy, our blade clan has to be honest in business, I said I would only give you five more sons."
"Yes, but these five are sealed. If you give me money, I'll promise not to tell me what you've asked me. ”
It's even going to be blackmailed.
Master Hao was so angry and funny, he didn't bother to bother with him, he reached out and touched five more children and handed them over, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, you are doing a good job." But Uncle advises you, sometimes being too greedy may cost you your life. ”
After saying that, he left the frightened child, hurriedly walked towards the end of the alley, and disappeared.
The child saw that Master Hao was far away, touched the ten copper plates in his hand, and was thinking about how to spend it, when he suddenly saw his father hurrying from the alley.
"Daddy!" The child screamed happily.
When his father saw his son, he stretched out his hand and hugged him, hid himself and entered his yard, and immediately closed the courtyard door.
The child's mother was sifting sorghum in the yard when she saw her husband entering, and said strangely:
"Daddy, why did you come back so early? Is business bad on the street today? ”
"Don't mention it, the blood clan has entered the city, although it looks pretty regular, but the look in the eyes of the people makes people panic, so I quickly put away the stall and hid back."
"Blood-Clansmen? Didn't you say that the whole army was outside the city, and they would not enter the city? ”
"It's true that the army is outside the city, but I heard that the Blood Flame King accompanied the lord of the country into the city, and the guards he carried with him naturally had to follow." The man put down the child, turned around and solemnly admonished: "Don't leave the house these days, just play in the courtyard, do you hear?" ”
When the child heard that he couldn't go out, he thought that the fifteen copper plates he had just earned had no land to spend, and he couldn't help but be very depressed.
"Daddy, when will this mess be?"
"I don't know, but the old Hongtou who sells tofu next to him and his son are not on an errand in the army, and I heard that he is about to be beaten. So I guess it won't be long. We don't care about the business money these days, God knows if those blood people will go crazy one day and cut them with knives, or if they are too peaceful to save their lives! ”
The man licked his scorched lips, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
