It's late at night.

A cool autumn breeze blows away the clouds.

The moon is round, and the brightness of the stars is less pronounced.

The entire Huaizhou City seems quiet and peaceful.

The streets and alleys were dark, and a few houses were lit by candles.

Occasionally, there was the sound of a watchman accompanied by a human voice.

"It's dry... Bang - Bang - Beware ......"

The Castle Lord's Mansion Chamber.

The bearded city lord sat down on the first seat and asked, "Come, tell me why the snakes are attacking the people of the autumn harvest this time?" Seeing that no one answered, he pointed to a big man in armor and said, "What does General Xu think?" ”

The person known as General Xu was full of anger, and looked at the long-fronted white-faced man who was leisurely and complacent and said, "The subordinates think that the young master can explain, after all, when the subordinates sent troops to the rescue, it was the young master who obstructed him in every way. ”

The long-fronted, white-faced man is the only son of the city lord named Yu Sheng. He stood up slowly, he glanced at General Xu, and said in his heart, even if you guess right, what can you do, and said to the city lord: "Dad, I think it's probably us who captured their young masters, so they attacked our city people to show their dissatisfaction, in my opinion, it's better to return their young masters to them as soon as possible." As for why I stopped it, it wasn't for the safety of the City Lord's Mansion, who knows if this was the demon clan's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. ”

After Yu Sheng finished speaking, the rest of the people at the table also said that it was because they had captured the young master of the snake clan, causing the snakes to attack the city's people, and it was better to return their young master as soon as possible.

The city lord said angrily: "A group of rice buckets, if you can return it, what else do you want to do!" This is something that Your Majesty wants, and if I let it go, will you bear the blame for this crime? ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly kept silent.

Yu Sheng smiled and said: "Dad, why are you angry, since Emperor Wen wants it, then we will send it away as soon as possible, and those snakes will follow!" ”

When everyone heard this, they also agreed.

The city lord touched his beard and said to General Xu, "Then we need a guard." ”

General Xu said with a sad face: "City Lord, we have very few troops now, and if we divide some of them, we won't even be able to do the basic task of protecting the city." ”

Castle Lord: "How is this good?" ”

General Xu: "Do you want to recruit a group of masters from the people to complete this escort mission?" ”

City Lord: "Then how do you calculate the reward?" ”

General Xu: "It takes about two months to go back and forth from here to Wenzhou Mansion, plus the journey is difficult and the task is heavy, it is better to recruit twenty people, twenty taels each, give five taels before going, and after returning, whether he lives or dies, he or his family can receive fifteen taels." ”

The city lord nodded: "Yes." ”

Yu Sheng thought that four hundred taels could be used to cover Wanhualou Huakui for a month, and objected: "Dad, how can that work, most of the so-called folk masters are liars, and they are already happy to give them ten taels." If you really have the ability, you can wait to come back and give them a job, which not only rewards them with a position, but also adds some new talents to my Huaizhou, isn't it better. ”

General Xu was about to refute, this time it was extremely dangerous, and the matter of coming back was out of reach, and it was almost considered to buy someone's life, and ten taels was too little. But before he could say anything, the city lord spoke: "Well, ten taels is enough, then this matter will be handed over to General Xu, Xu Hai, you must take a closer look, don't look for some charlatans, lose people, then I won't show mercy to your subordinates." ”

Xu Haidao: "My subordinates personally led the team to escort this time, if they can't deliver the things safely, they will definitely come to see them!" ”

The city lord took a deep look at the general Xu who had been following him for many years and said with a smile: "Then I wish you success, and when you return, we will definitely get drunk to celebrate." ”

Xu Hai: "That subordinate retired." ”

The city lord waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

I opened my heavy eyelids, I was extremely tired from the journey, and I had a nightmare last night, and there was a fire in my dream, and it never stopped.

He lifted the bed, and a young girl lay quietly on his chest and fell asleep, no wonder he had nightmares.

"Hey! What are you doing! "Desperate pushed the girl.

The girl closed her eyes and said, "Sleep, ......" and fell back on the bed.

Desperate pulled the girl up and shook her shoulder: "I mean, why did you run to my room?" ”

The girl squinted her eyes and pointed to the window, saying, "Your window is not closed, and I will come in." ”

Desperate: "Put... I closed my window well yesterday, anyway, you get up quickly, and when my mother comes, I can't tell. After speaking, he pulled the girl's sleeve.

The girl finally opened her eyes: "Oh, don't talk about it, this is the new clothes that my aunt gave me?" After speaking, he looked at the anxious young man and smiled: "What are you afraid of?" ”

Poor: "Men and women do not kiss." ”

Girl: "Yesterday you took my hand and ran wildly." ”

Desperation: "......"

There was a knock on the door, and he shouted to the door, "It's coming, it's coming." He turned around and was about to urge the girl to go out, but he saw the girl quickly come out of the window. Outside, "Good morning, poor mother." ”

After dressing up, he opened the door, only to see the girl standing next to her mother, grimacing at him.

The poor mother took a strip of white cloth and handed it to the poor and said: "Now that your father's body has not been found, and it is the time when the farm is busy, there will be no funeral, and tying the filial piety strip to the clothes is considered filial piety." ”

The girl ran over to help him tie it up, and asked him to look at her arm.

Seeing the white stripe on the girl's arm, he couldn't help but be a little moved, maybe she was a goblin and didn't understand the meaning of Dai Xiao, but he was very grateful to her, a woman who was not related to his family, and was willing to wear filial piety for his father.

The three of them came to the market to buy farm tools, and the girl couldn't stop swallowing when she saw the buns and snacks all over the street. The poor mother knew that this girl liked to eat, and she could eat two large bowls when she was at home, so she secretly took a tael of silver and handed it to the poor and said softly: "Go, take Xiaohua to eat something." He stuffed the silver back into his mother's hand and said, "Mother, I have my own money, and since I learned to hunt, I have saved some money." The poor mother couldn't help laughing and said, "No wonder my son hasn't been rolling on the ground for many years and asking his mother for money to buy rock sugar gourds, it turns out that he has earned the money himself." ”

Hearing his mother talk about his childhood, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, especially the girl next to him was snickering with her mouth covering, but the laughter clearly came into his ears.

The two walked into the bazaar, and the girl kept buying all kinds of things, and the food was very joyful, and the vendors were also familiar with Qiantu, and when they saw that Qiantu had brought such a beautiful girl to eat, they asked him where he had found such a beautiful wife. An explanation that makes the poor embarrassed. As for the girl, she didn't explain at all, and when others asked, she greeted her uncle and uncle, and said that she was the wife who had never passed the door, because she found that in this way, many people would give a little more food, and they could eat more!

The place where the two of them passed was very lively, and suddenly I don't know who shouted on the other side of the market: "Miss City Lord is here." A group of young vendors hurriedly picked up their burdens and walked over there.

He gave the money to the maiden and told her not to wander around, and walked to the place where the crowd gathered. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Online Game: Non-mainstream Master Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
