Chapter 121: Daily Life (Text)

Shangcheng, the courtyard garden of the dignitaries, is still a pair of chariots and horses, and the daily life of Zhong Ming Ding Shi does not seem to have been affected by the turmoil in the city.

But some lingering sounds, still in some unobtrusive corners, continue to reverberate

For example, Xianglin Yuan, which used to be one of the important social occasions of Shangcheng and Yuncong, was staging a farewell to life and death, and Yang Tianlin, the Marquis of Dongning, as the host, sat on the ground with a dejected face, and he had lost his former calmness and command.

The three people around him, although they were all dressed in homely clothes, made him feel like a cold abyss, even if it was hot and humid, he was sweating through his cheeks and back.

"It's just a disaster......

He muttered to himself.

"I'm just targeting ......"

As a person like him who was born illustriously, was ambitious and in a high position as a young man, when he used to decide the life and death of others, he was certainly a lightweight weight, but when it was his turn, he would inevitably suffer from the common feelings of people who had difficulty in making difficult choices.

"You go and talk to those jackals in the Imperial Court......

An old man around him said

"How much effort did we waste to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate assist in this matter, instead of Sihaiwei to handle it"

"It's a ...... to keep this thing for good."

"Now the Duke of Tonghai has fled with his family to his own domain. Da Situ also abandoned his post and avoided An Yuanzhou. ”

"The soldiers and horses pursued by the DPRK and China will come out in a few days......"

"You have to die so that you can try to avoid implicating as many people as possible......"

"And you have to recognize all these things......"

"Who let you meet at the right time, even if the door went down to attack and kill the people of Meishan Hotel...... Even if it's not all your business, it has to fall on you."

Another voice arrived

"Please be decent......"

"But ......"

Yang Tianlin still wanted to make some efforts, and said.

"Can I redeem myself for one or two ......?"

"You have to recognize the shape clearly......"

The third voice said.

"In the current situation, your grudge against Chen Huixian is no longer important......

"What is really important is not to let people grasp the handle, expand this matter, and shake the foundation of our generation

"So you have to confess to the crime of this Hue party......"

"At least we can make sure that you don't get too many people behind you."

"But if you don't know how to count, then I can only set a price and let three generations of your clan be removed from the clan court......"

The words stopped, Yang Tianlin could only despair, his arm trembled and grabbed the green liquid in the jade cup on the stone case, drank it all with his eyes closed, and then completely relaxed his body as if he was freed.

"I want to ask for a last ...... of grace"

"Let's talk about ......"

The eldest of the humanites.

"That's the case, Chen Huixian, I don't dare to expect anything from ......"

Yang Tianlin's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth

"But the people who help him can't be so kind......"

The other two glanced at each other before they said

"One or two ...... can be discussed"

The cicadas chirp on the branches, dripping and weak, seem to be cursing the summer heat that has been scorched by the bright sun in the past few days, after all, it has entered the hottest summer of the four seasons in Guangfu. As long as you stay outside and move a little, you will be covered in sweat.

But I had to wear a fan and walk with my entourage through the densely packed corridors of street vendors. This is the port area in the suburbs, because it is close to the sea, but it has not been affected.

Therefore, after a short escape from the desertion, the noise was quickly restored, because it is said that the last of the recalcitrant rebels had been surrounded by the army of the king of Qin, outside the city, and were waiting to be sacrificed.

Because the business instinct has infiltrated the small people in the market, they can't help but reopen their businesses again, okay, make up for the losses of the past few days, and come back to talk about it.

Like an ordinary person, I bought some melons, fruits and drinks, and then was guided to a teahouse near the water, where I could see a good view, a little spacious drinking to the boat owners who came and went, and the gray tile courtyard walls of the old and new residential areas on the other side of the river.

I patiently shook the fan, gently waiting for something, not much in the well water to town the melon dots were delivered, even the belt was carved into a pleasing shape such as yellow and white flowers blooming, and it tasted sweet and juicy with a tin spoon.

Then there is the agar frozen tea with mint and camphor flavors in a glass jar; pudding-like white porcelain bowls, cold cheese sprinkled with praline crumbs; and caramel sparkling water with a slightly sweet and sour flavor in a bottle of roundness and small mouths,

This is also a kind of benefit left by the predecessors of the traverser, throwing a small pill similar to a carbonic acid ball into it, and then it gushes out bubbles, drinks it on the stomach, gurgling, and after a while, it slowly takes away the heat in the stomach.

You can also mix citrus, ringo, grapes, star fruit, pineapple, durian honey, mangosteen and other seasonal fruity juices according to your personal preference, and drink it together. In addition to self-supplied fruits, the store also has free fruits for customers and provides juice squeezing services. It can be said that the commodity economy has prospered to a certain extreme refinement of the market.

A large house on the opposite bank, suddenly smoke rose in many places, and then quickly spread into a large area of fire, for a time I saw the flames clamorous, all kinds of people were boiling, the surrounding streets and alleys were crowded with all kinds of buckets to carry water to come to the rescue, a moment later, the river came to carry the patrol boat with the water dragon, and the water truck that extinguished the fire was also in the fire extinguishing errand, appeared outside the building, trying to cut off the fire.

But I seem to have noticed one detail, from the smoke from the beginning to the end to the deep fire, no one in the mansion has ever escaped. Then one of the water hook boats seemed to have some fault and began to turn back, but when the boat leaned slightly towards the teahouse where I was, I saw Bo Fu, dressed as a man, standing on the side of the boat and pressing the eaves with his hand, and making a covert gesture to me.

This is the price of the loser, there is not much pity and sympathy, only a slight sigh and sigh, if it is our side that loses power, the same worse things will happen to us. The best outcome is that with my already dead ambitions and disappointed expectations, I hide in the territory and play a lingering house fight.

To be honest, Madame Chen's counterattack came sooner than I thought, because I soon received a message from her that she wanted to borrow some bold and capable manpower from me? I immediately figured it out, how could she be short of manpower, she may have been forgivable before she came to Guangfu, but after arriving in Guangfu, what she borrowed this time was just my further statement and name.

As for other reasons, such as being familiar with the Canton locals and having sufficient combat experience, they are only superficial needs. Since in this turmoil, the forces represented by Mrs. Chen have already gained the advantage and upper hand.

That natural thought doesn't mind, discounting the name of personal revenge, taking advantage of the fact that the lower city has not completely restored its peace, and going to the few people behind the scenes who may be directly involved, without any evidence and reason, as long as the maximum possibility of free heart testimony, the other party has this motive and ability, it is enough.

After the defense of Meishan Hotel, I already have enough reasons and motivations for "if you dare to be the first year of junior high school, I will dare to be fifteen".

Therefore, after thinking about it, in addition to excluding Bo Fu, who is better mixed in the market, I also called Murong Wu, the official of the Wude Division, together, and how much to pull an official to bear the risk together, which is also a test of the bottom line of tolerance. If he's interesting enough. It is not impossible to take another step from this.

After walking for a while from the teahouse, I walked down the street, changed to a simple carriage, and after meeting a small convoy at the city gate, I continued to go out of the city.

I drove all the way through the alleys, and after turning a few branches and forks, I came directly to a field surrounded by trestles and barns, and some of the dilapidated buildings, there were vague figures with bows and arrows and improvised spears, but when they saw me, they could not help cheering, and then it turned into a cacophony.

Then I busily pulled open the obstacles that blocked the street, and let my carriage go in.

"The Lord ......"

"The ...... of the Eldest Prince"

"Head of ......"

"The ...... of the house"

I was surrounded by all kinds of enthusiastic voices and titles, which was very touching, and although there were many faces that I didn't remember, or who were completely unfamiliar, I tried to greet them with the biggest smile possible.

It was the men of the two strongholds who had disappeared at the beginning who had gathered here, who were in the outer harbor in the southern suburbs of Xiacheng, but they had come back with the people who had stayed at the port with Cai Liao, the old retainer.

It was very simple, but it was a little thrilling, and when the chaos arose in the lower city, they did not wait for the messenger I had sent out, so that when they came out, it was almost dawn

According to the plan, they converged on another closer stronghold, only to find that the street had become a battlefield of thug stars, and this stronghold was also trapped, so it was easy to disperse these thugs, and when they rushed out, they found that the road to Meishan had been blocked by more rioters.

Then, according to the backup plan, they moved outside the city, and in the process, because they got lost or left behind, or even conflicts, they lost a small part of their manpower, and they arrived at the outcast shelter in the outer city.

It happened that there was some kind of riot here, and then it was suppressed on the spot, and then the manpower was replenished to hold on here, and with the support of several medium-sized sea boats from the small river, the supplies they carried, after several days of impact and harassment, they re-got in touch with the family who returned to Qingquan Old Street.

Their appearance also made me somewhat relieved, because the long-term training of obedience and discipline has not taken the situation they have led out of my basic grasp, so that I have a new force candidate.

After the casualties and losses before and after, and the many small-scale escapes that occurred in between, there are still more than 1,600 people, except for more than 300 children of my own family or hired laborers, all of whom are young and strong people who have been carefully selected from the outcasts in the city, or who are experts such as craftsmen.

As long as time passes, the previous loss can be doubled back. Well, the feeling of being in control of more power is wonderful.

Originally, the night shift was in the quiet codeword, but the colleagues around me were watching the thunder drama "Lanling King" to get excited, all kinds of poor chatter-style modern people who cried, made trouble and hanged themselves, dressed in ancient costumes and nonsense, desperately pretending to be tender and brushing the lower limit of IQ, but they also kept saying that a Qing palace drama was full of "four masters" and "masters" or something, which made people have goosebumps rolling like a tide.
