Chapter 165: A Map Made Public

He Ming also had no hope for the words that had been degraded for thousands of years, but the desire to learn in his personality made him unbearable to cover the dust of this book, so he took the risk of exposure and took this ancient book into his arms.

As luck would have it, his actions went completely unnoticed by anyone, and he slipped back to their dwellings with ease, and returned to his bed unconsciously, and none of the people who had been with him for the past few days had noticed the slightest abnormality in him.

The days passed day by day in the winter of Mengzhong, and the days when the weather was supposed to warm up and everything recovered, suddenly hit a rare cold snap, which postponed the days when most people could not go out for a long time.

The dull life caused by the bad weather is very dull, and people who would have become irritable in the winter have exhausted all their anger and become lazy during this long period of bad weather.

Even the frequent incidents of law and order in the civilian areas began to be pitiful, and the bravest guards on weekdays were not interested in patrolling on such days, and they were drowsy.

Ma Jin knocked on the sleepy guard beside him and signaled him to cheer up, even at this time he was in good spirits and conscientiously doing his patrol, but he was suddenly attracted by an unusual noise.

Tucheng hasn't been so lively for at least two months, even the vegetable market, long before that, everyone had prepared enough food, now what can make this place noisy like this?

With surprise and puzzlement, he naturally wanted to take a look at it, so he led the four guards who were still unable to keep up their spirits and walked in the direction of Shengyuan.

It was next to a large house that connected the commercial and civilian areas, and countless people were pointing and talking and arguing around one of the walls of the house, as if they had found something of great value, and their expressions were so exaggerated that they did not even see the guards coming.

Ma Jin snorted, asked these idlers to get out of the way, and then walked over to see what was making these people talk about it.

As one of the most trusted people next to Ma Er, as a guard, he was also fortunate enough to walk into that conference room and see the map that would bring unpredictable changes to the future.

So as soon as the painting on the wall came into his eyes, his eyes widened, and he was so shocked that it was difficult to add, and after being stunned for a while, after making sure that he was really not mistaken, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Disperse, idle people and others will all leave!" No lingering here! ”

Then a guard was pulled over and shouted, "Quick, call someone!" Notify ...... Now Call Ma Er, no, just let him report to the patriarch! Fast! ”

In front of him as if he was facing a great enemy, with a fierce and vicious look, the others were not so nervous, and they were still slow under the drive of the guards, and continued to point and say a few words from time to time.

Ma Jin suddenly thought of something, rushed forward, and grabbed a person who seemed to know a lot and was still explaining something.

Holding him in the air, he asked the man in a tone as cold as the weather at the time: "When did this picture be drawn, how was it discovered, tell me the truth, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for you to die!"

It is not an exaggeration to say that the guards of Tucheng have the power of life and death in this kind of place, and when they are wearing guard equipment, even if they kill someone by mistake, it is not a big deal, so when this person is caught, he is so frightened that he does not possess his body, where can he dare to hide something?

He could only reply tremblingly, "This ...... The map was discovered five days ago, but it is said to have been there before then, but it just didn't go unnoticed. ”

Ma Jin's voice became even colder, and he asked, "Earlier?" How is this possible? Why did you attract so many people here without attracting attention? ”

The man said, "I am telling the truth!" At first, others thought it was a graffiti, and they were going to paint it clean, but most of the people who came and went here did not know the words, but the craftsmen who were invited to paint it recognized that the painting on it was very exquisite, and suspected that there was any deep meaning, so they did not do it, so they invited a teacher to recognize the words. ”

Ma Jin continued to drink and asked, "And then?" Where are the plasterer and the teacher? ”

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he put the man down, and his voice became softer: "Get out, don't let me see you here again." ”

As soon as the man's feet hit the ground, he dared to stay there for half a minute? Even rolling and crawling all the way without a trace, I don't know how far I don't dare to slow down half a step, as if there are many people chasing behind, where do you dare to stop?

The three guards next to him looked at Ma Jin with a depressed and weak look, and thought that his old injuries had suddenly recurred, so they hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Ma Jin waved his hand, sighed lightly and said: "That's it, it's all at this point, most of the people who can see it in the city have seen it, and those who haven't seen it can also spread it by word of mouth, you can't kill all these people who have seen it, not to mention that this picture is not public, in order to protect these people from death?" ”

It turned out that on this wall, I don't know who used coke and muddy water as a pen to vividly depict the desert map in a one-to-one scale.

And because the colors are richer than the parchment, where there are sand dunes, where the sand is varied, and where the distribution of oases and horses is more accurate and rich than in the original map, where and where to obtain what specialties are marked with graphics.

Only the dangerous monsters of the Sea of Sand Monsters that go against natural common sense have been deliberately ignored, and of course, these people will not believe them even if they are written.

All in all, the gold rush mecca that many adventurers and desperate homeless people dreamed of was thus presented in front of everyone in Tucheng, and as the exchanges between the various regions deepened, the people of Beach and Bairimen also appeared here.

The magnates of Tucheng and Shabak have been repeatedly discussing things for nearly a year without making a decision, and now there is finally a result: from now on, people who covet the wealth of the desert will go to the desert to die in an endless stream!

In any case, there was no point in keeping this picture, Ma Jin had the pictures on the wall removed, and he returned to the aristocratic district by himself.

The mastermind of this matter is still busy in the kitchen of the Ma family, and today an emergency meeting of the three major families was suddenly held, and it is said that someone was sent to invite people from Shabak to participate.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the banquet had to be prepared in a very short time, and Ma Li, who was carrying this responsibility, was very busy, scurrying around like a fly without a head, without the slightest appearance that he had always hung in his mouth.

The culprit who caused this series of troubles to happen was doing his job slowly, completely unaffected by this messy atmosphere.

When Ma Li saw his leisurely appearance, he became even more irritable, but since He Ming was hired, he has been acting so that everyone is very satisfied and relieved, so this guy really doesn't dare to scold him, he just feels very angry.

After a closer look, he found that although this person's expression seemed to be slow, the meat and food that he wanted to barbecue had already been divided and cut and ready, just roasted before they were ready to be served.

And He Ming's barbecue skills are also convincing in the whole kitchen: because the heat is controlled too well, the time he cooks food is shorter than anyone else, and the whole kitchen is always the most leisurely.

Of course, it is fair to say that he is not able to create this kind of appearance, and that he does these things by nature, fast and good.

Ma Li was naturally very depressed when he saw this appearance, but he couldn't find anything wrong with him, especially this person was quite easy to talk to, and he was still happy to work with the lowest salary in the entire aristocratic district, and he was more or less very good, so he suppressed his angry tone and said to He Ming:

"If you're fine, go out and walk around first, and don't disturb anyone else here! By the way, I'll call you when I'm ready to serve the food later, and you have to hear you. ”

Hearing this, He Ming was also on the verge of amnesty, walked out happily, found a clean corner to sit down in the sun, and enjoyed the rare leisure before the storm.

However, in this Marfa continent, it may not be destined to have a leisurely day specially prepared for He Ming, as it is now, his uncourteous and graceful sitting posture caused several groups of big people who came to the party to cast very dissatisfied looks.

Unaffected by these eyes, he was attracted by the man on the three fast horses.

Li Tingao, Ye Zilan, and the trial guard galloped at an astonishing speed, and as soon as they jumped off their horses and threw the reins, someone from the aristocratic district immediately ran up to help them take away the horses that were obviously running a little too fiercely.

And only these few people, especially Ye Zilan, didn't take a look at He Ming, who was sitting there lazily and unorthodoxically, and they were the only ones who came to the party.

A sense of frustration filled his mind for no apparent reason, and he kept telling himself that people didn't recognize him anymore, or that his appearance was unrecognizable, but it was difficult to calm down in his heart, and his mind was a mess.

While he was still thinking about something, Ma Li's voice came from the kitchen:

"He Ming! It's time to get to work, and you're ready to serve food at any time, hurry up! ”

The voice helped him to pull out of the strange emotion that even he did not understand, and as if he had grasped a straw to save his life, he quickly jumped up as if he had forgotten everything, ran to his barbecue, and began to work quickly.

And in the past, as long as he concentrates on his work, other emotions that can be forgotten always linger, making him feel as if he can't breathe to the end, which is very uncomfortable.
