Chapter 30 Planning
Xiao Ya and I stunned the two men who had come to work in the big house first, and put their dirty clothes directly outside. Xiao Ye refused to use the charcoal ash at the bottom of the pot to smear his face, so I roasted a steamed bun black over the fire, so that I could say that I would wipe Xiao Ye's demonic face so that he couldn't even recognize him.
Maybe it was because Xiao Ye and I were too dirty, so the housekeeper simply asked the two of us to take charge of the fire. Xiao Ye was reluctant, and I was afraid of being found flawed, so I quickly pulled Xiao Ye to sit in the kang pit. Compared with stir-frying vegetables and carrying rice grains or something, this fire is actually quite easy. So he threw the chopped wood into the fire, and watched that the fire didn't come out and burn down the house.
The big room is not particular about cooking, the rice was not even tao, and it was poured directly into the pot from the sack, and the rotten vegetable leaves and good vegetable leaves were thrown in the water together and then fried. Even if Sayo's face was painted so that I couldn't see it, I could feel the disgust on his face.
One of the advantages of working in the dormitory is that you can eat before the other people in the building, and when these people in the dormitory are full, they can move the food to the middle of the building in large wooden basins for the other people. The people in the enclosure eat like a war, fighting and grabbing, and they are more like victims who have been hungry for several days.
And the young master Murong beside me poured a big bowl of white rice into the swill bucket while no one was paying attention, snatched my bowl from picking and pulling vegetable leaves, and gave me a clean empty bowl before I came back to my senses.
"There are only two meals a day here, you poured it for me the last meal, and you poured it for me again for the next meal, you starved me to death?" I got up angrily, ready to go and serve some more food.
"Is it for people?" Xiao Ye muttered, "I'm dirty when I feed the pigs!" ”
"Dare to love the pigs of Murong Villa!" I'm a little envious.
"How do you speak?"
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted, "Haha...... I'm not saying you're a pig, I'm saying that the pigs in Murong Villa are picky eaters. "Something seems wrong.
"I'm too lazy to bother with you!"
Xiao Ye and I took advantage of the steward's time for us to go to the woods to chop wood, caught a rabbit and barely filled our stomachs, and discussed that as soon as it was dark, we would sneak out to find food. But I heard that Tongpu has to be named every night, and if Xiao Ye and I slip away tonight, then tomorrow it will definitely cause trouble if these two identities appear today.
Xiao Ye insisted on not staying here at night, but except for the one who burned the fire and could wipe his face as black as charcoal, Xiao Ye's face that brought disaster to the country and the people would definitely attract attention. Xiao Ye couldn't resist me, so I had to wake up the two of us who were pretending to be identities and ask where they were sleeping.
Xiao Ye's shop is next to me, and on the other side of me is a butcher, and I can smell the fishy smell of his body from afar. The man's feet on the other side of the night were particularly stinky. Xiao Ye and I tried to stay away from them as much as possible. The butcher grinded his teeth in addition to snoring, and the man on Xiao Ye's side stretched his legs to Xiao Ye's waist for a while, and then put his arm on Xiao Ye's shoulder, so angry that Xiao Ye reached out and tapped his whole body hole, and then he was motionless as if he was dead.
Then, Xiao Ye lit the butcher's acupoint again, and stopped his snoring and grinding teeth, and in the second half of the night, I fell asleep in a daze, and when I fell asleep, I realized that I didn't know when I had pillowed Xiao Ye's arm again.
Through two days of observation, Xiao Ye and I have a general understanding of the Ghost King Ding, there are nearly 10,000 people living in the surrounding building alone, and the Ghost King is very strict with their management, except for robbery or labor, they must not leave the Ghost King Ding without permission.
The ghost king will collect all the looted treasures into his private treasury, and the people surrounding the building can eat and drink a lot of money when they rob a large amount of money to celebrate, and it is usually a problem to even eat a full meal, let alone get any dirty things.
There are also some people with special identities living in the walled building, that is, those who are responsible for taking care of the ordinary people in the walled building, they enjoy privileges compared to other people in the walled building, the big minions refer to the stewards of the various departments of the ghost king, they can enter and exit the restaurant and brothel at will, and the small minions are the small stewards under the big minions, and they can also enter and exit the restaurant brothel at a specific time.
Most of the guards on the top of the Ghost King were the first to follow the Ghost King, and some were promoted because of their prominent expressions. Ordinary guards and minions are treated the same as at the top of the Ghost King, and guards who take care of things a little can run rampant at the top of the Ghost King.
The bandits on the top of the ghost king burn, kill and loot all evil, but most people are forced by the ghost king when they do these things, and if they don't loot, they will be thrown into the Colosseum to fight with the beasts, how can the flesh and blood be able to defeat the fierce beasts. Many of them's wives and daughters were either sold to the brothels in the city by the ghost king, or they were sent directly to the brothels on the top of the ghost king. And they could only watch their wives and daughters being ruined by the minions of the Ghost King, but they dared not speak out.
The next night, Xiao Ye dragged me away from the top of the ghost king, took off the dirty clothes on my body, Xiao Ye roasted pheasants on the shore, and I bathed in the river. When I was done, I took the pheasant from his hand and continued to burn it, and then he went to bathe in the river. When he washed and went ashore, the pheasants happened to be ripe, and they were "sizzling" with oil.
Xiao Ye tore off a chicken leg and handed it to me, I couldn't wait to eat it, and when I finished nibbling on one chicken leg, Xiao Ye handed me another chicken leg.
"Give me all the chicken legs, so what are you going to eat?" Xiao Ye is very picky about eating, and he only eats legs when he eats chicken. He hated the meat in other places, and even if he starved to death, he wouldn't touch it.
"I'm not hungry!" Xiao Ye shoved the chicken leg into my hand, "You haven't eaten all day, eat it!" ”
"You haven't eaten all day!" I shoved the chicken leg back into Xiao Ye's hand, "I'll just eat the meat on the chicken breast." ”
"Lin Muyu!" Xiao Ye put his hands behind his back, "If I let you eat it, you can eat it, but a chicken leg, my dignified young master of Murong Villa is still rare." ”
"I ...... "Where did I provoke him?" Didn't I see that he hadn't eaten all day for fear that he would starve? For the sake of this little kid taking care of me at the top of the ghost king, I don't care about him, "Good, eat this chicken leg, if it's not enough, let's beat another pheasant to roast, and I'll give you both legs." ”
"I am the young master of Murong Villa, and I need you to let a woman."
"Murong Starry Night!" was shouted by him inexplicably, and my temper also came up, "Young Master Murong, I know that I Lin Muyu is from a humble background, even if I am against the identity of Gu Tianba, I am not as noble as your young master of Murong Villa, you are dignified and the young master of Murong Villa mainly looks down on me, you can stay away from me, why bother to bring out your young master of Murong Villa if you are fine, I didn't recruit you to provoke you, I have no obligation to listen to you yelling at me!" If you have the anger to rush at whomever you want, you will not be accompanied. With that, I got up and was about to leave.
"Lin Muyu!" Xiao Ye grabbed my arm violently, "Don't go! ”
"Why don't you leave?"
"You know I didn't mean that."
"I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how do you know what you're thinking?"
"I was wrong about what happened just now, can I apologize to you?"
Xiao Ye dragged me back to sit on the stone I was sitting on, I wasn't particularly angry just now, and I immediately forgave him when he apologized.
Xiao Ye also sat down next to me, took the chicken leg I had been holding in my hand, took a bite and brought it to my mouth, until I took a big bite, and he was satisfied with eating the chicken leg with me in one bite.
Staring at me and eating the rest of the whole chicken cleanly, Xiao Ye said faintly: "Lin Muyu, why do you always care about everything, don't pay attention to anything, and compromise everything?" ”
"What...... What the? ”
"Since you're not Gu Tianba, why do you care about the mess of his Tianyuguo? Eating the food that is not even as good as pig food at the top of the ghost king, sleeping on the bunk that is dirtier than the dog kennel with a large group of stinky men, do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to watch you gobble up food, watch you leave my favorite chicken feet to me, and look at the envy in your eyes when you look at Lin Muyu? Actually, I didn't want to be angry with you just now, I was angry with myself, angry that I didn't take you to a restaurant in the city for a decent dinner, angry that I only slaughtered a chicken, angry that I couldn't convince you to leave, and let you bear everything that shouldn't be borne by you alone! ”
"These are things that I willingly bear." I said, "Besides, if I don't do Gu Tianba, who else can I be?" ”
"You can be your Lin Muyu openly! Will you come back to Murong Villa with me? Or let's go on a tour together. Xiao Ye's eyes were more radiant than the starry sky at this time, "You know what? There is a Valley of Hundred Flowers in Murong Villa, where flowers bloom undefeated in all seasons, didn't you say that you like the castle of the Ghost King? Then we will build an identical one in the Valley of Hundred Flowers. If you are bored living in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, I will accompany you to travel around, and we will go to the waterfall in southern Xinjiang to see its magnificence flowing down. To the snowfield in the far north, dancing in the snowflakes of the desert sky. There is only one island the size of a courtyard on the East China Sea, picking shells, pearls and corals, climbing to the top of the legendary western sky, standing in the clouds and picking stars. ”
I also want to go back to Lin Muyu, like Xiao Ye said every day to visit the mountains and rivers, enjoy the flowers and the moon. But there is a saying that starts well and ends well, leave everything Gu Tianba has to bear and go to live happily by yourself, I can't do it!
I discussed with the golden-faced master and Qin Ruo'an, and let the secret guards sneak into the Ghost King's Peak through a cliff with a small drop on the northernmost side of the Ghost King's Peak, control the guards in that place to take their place, and then put a rope ladder for Qin Ruo'an's men to enter from here.
"Find a few clever subordinates who pretend to be the ghost king, and say that the ghost king is sympathetic to the guards who can't attend the banquet, and rewards them with good wine, and tricks them into drinking the wine that has been added."
"If they find out that the person who delivered the wine is a fake...... "Xiao Ye made a gesture to wipe his neck, "Kill!" ”
"Yes!"
"It's best for Ruo'an's people to hide here after entering the Ghost King's Peak," I said, pointing to a forest on the map of the Ghost King's Peak, "This is the only dense forest on the Ghost King's Peak, even those who go in to cut wood will not enter the depths of the dense forest." But one thing must be reminded that there are many poisonous snakes, rats and ants in this forest, so don't be bitten by them. I took out the medicine bottle that Qing Yu gave me before leaving, "This is the antidote pill, which should be able to deal with the snake venom in the woods." ”
"Your Highness." Qin Ruoan respectfully took the medicine bottle and carefully put it in his arms.
I asked Qin Ruoan to send someone to deliver a letter to Qing Yu and Zhuangyuan Xun, and asked them to hand over the No. 2 secret decree to Su Chonghua. The content of the second secret decree is to ask Su Chonghua to bring 5,000 men and horses, that is, at 7 o'clock in the afternoon, to attack the Ghost King Peak.
I have already found out that the Ghost King's Birthday Banquet starts at six o'clock in the afternoon, and at the same time, the golden-faced master will lead the secret guards and Qin Ruoan's men to subdue the Ghost King's top guards. By the time it was time, the people at the banquet had already been so confused by sweat medicine that they were unconscious, and even if a few were sober, they couldn't figure out any tricks.
Still asked Su Chonghua to bring 5,000 men and horses to reinforce to prevent anything from going wrong in our plan, and the more than 1,000 people we brought with us couldn't fight quickly, so Su Chonghua rushed to help. Besides, even if we have completely controlled the Ghost King Peak effortlessly, but there are so many people at the Ghost King Top, someone has to come over to deal with the aftermath, right? Anyway, no matter what, the head work is Qin Ruoan's.
This promotion is also a certainty.
On the 15th of July, the bandit leaders in the neighborhood and the bullies and profiteers in the city continued to carry congratulatory gifts up the mountain to congratulate the ghost king on his birthday. I heard that there was a tea stall at the foot of the mountain, and there was a simple supply of melons and fruits, so Xiao Ye took me to the tooth sacrifice.
The tea stall is the father and daughter who set up a tea stall in Sanli Pavilion outside the city, I heard that the ghost king's birthday banquet came to the rich people, thinking that the rich people would definitely be able to give more reward for drinking tea, so they had the courage to put the tea stall on the main road to the top of the ghost king.
The old man's daughter is ingenious, using a bamboo tube to attract the mountain stream, and the melons and fruits washed by the cool stream are full of color and attractive, and the bite is cool and sweet.
