Chapter 208: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron 1

"Husband, there's a silk shop over there, let's talk as we walk." Like a little daughter-in-law, Poplar pulled the King of Joy and walked to the shop.

"Husband, do you know how long the imperial court hasn't changed guards? Is it that the officers and soldiers who were sent to the border line have not been replaced for a long time. ”

"Yang'er, why do you ask? The affairs on the coastline have always been in charge of the Terracotta Division. People on the three continents only cross the sea once every five years to pay tribute, and they are all peaceful and friendly exchanges. This king only knows that the last time the guard was changed was more than ten years ago, and although there was no war on the coastline, there were very few officers and soldiers who came back from the change of guard. They have also been there for more than ten years, and most of them have survived from youth to middle age. It is also allowed to take root there, marry a wife and have children, and the imperial court is also allowed. ”

"It turns out that it's still true, what I said to the guards of Xiling just now is also about the border. They said that the border line was not as peaceful as the imperial court knew, and many soldiers were killed in the conflict with the Beiling mainlanders, and some were poisoned. Could it be that the imperial court of the Great Yan Kingdom did not have a place to transmit news along the way. The imperial court really didn't know anything about the border line. ”

"In the past few days, this king has just come into contact with the court, and he has also seen the twists and turns sent back by the border line. It's always been safe there, isn't the border no longer part of our Dayan Kingdom? The King of Joy said worriedly.

"We'll have to see for ourselves if that's the case. The people on the Beiling Continent left half a month early, even if we could catch up day and night, we arrived at the beach. Even if Bai Wan'er can be rescued from this side of the sea, the concubine also advises us to cross the sea to have a look. ”

"This king also has this idea, Sister Wan'er is no longer a simple young lady after five years of experience in the general election. The people on the Beiling Continent kidnapped her, and they also held us hostage. She should not be in danger of her life for the time being, and the most important thing now is how we can get the news back to the capital. ”

"Lord Wang, this is not a problem. I can contact Sister Ling, and the news can only be passed to her first, and then she will pass it on to the emperor. ”

"Yang'er, you are really the lucky star of my Great Yan Kingdom. When he returned, he wrote a letter to his father. ”

"First tell the emperor about these three fur shops. We drew up a detailed map along the way, and waited for us to see what was happening on the border before telling the emperor. ”

"Yang'er, since you can speak the language of the Xiling Continent. We followed the carriage procession of the Xiling Continent. We can also take their boat when crossing the sea. ”

"Husband, it's decided. The people left in the capital in the Beiling Continent this time were taken to our nest, and there was nothing to make trouble on Mengdan's side for the time being. At most, we will do something in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, which also buys us some time, I'm afraid that your crown prince brother won't be able to keep the bottom line. ”

"This is really a headache, the queen's death in addition to resenting us is more resentful of the father. Although he is grounded, he will know everything that should be known in the court. His power in the court for so many years should not be underestimated. Now that he has another Meng Dan by his side, there is really no one in the prince's mansion who can match Meng Dan. ”

"Husband, you forgot, Sister Ling is still in the palace. If we can't say it, Sister Ling can say it. ”

"Yes, this king is going to write a letter to his father. When will you summon your messenger? ”

"Evening."

At night, in the middle of the air where Poplar and King Xiaoyao lived, several eagles flew in. Poplar also put the bamboo whistle on his mouth into the space.

Poplar chose one of the most athletic Aquils and brought it into the room. Stuffed a few pills into its mouth. He also stuffed the letter written by the King of Joy into a small bamboo tube and tied it to the Aquila's leg. Then put it back into the air, and the two men saw the Aquila fly higher and higher and disappear into the night.

"Yang'er, will it come back to bring us a letter?" The King of Joy asked when he saw the night sky.

"Theoretically, yes, those few small pills are the positioning device. The poisonous aura on Sister Ling and I is its target. This is also the first time that Benfei has used such a communication tool. It can accurately fly to the palace to find the target, that's for sure, and it's really not much sure if it can come back to the concubine. Poplar told the truth.

The Aquila got its name from the fact that it flew high. Although the Aquila has few natural predators, they are extremely scarce. Poplar has seen information on the life habits of the Aquila in the cheat space. They lay eggs in the sky, and whether they hatch or not depends on where they land. The Aquila is also called the Condor, and the information also introduces the Aquila as having a certain amount of wisdom. This is one of the reasons why Poplar chose it to deliver letters. It was also agreed with the poison venerable before leaving the capital.

The more time passes, the more Poplar feels as if he has entered a primitive society of slash-and-burn farming. Every now and then, she misses modern high-tech. In his cheat space, he also displays the phone he used, although the battery is still full. But it can only be displayed in the space alone, and it can't play a role at all.

Fortunately, God is still very dedicated, and he prepares a golden finger for every crossing worker. You can always use the cheat space to develop the most primitive communication tools. No need to charge, no maintenance, and no fear of damage.

Looking at Poplar's changing expression, the King of Joy had a lot of questions in his heart. But he didn't want to ask, and when Poplar was willing to tell him one day, he was sharing secrets with the woman he loved.

Before dawn, the poison venerable in the cold palace was awakened. She still lives in the original courtyard, and the old ladies who were eliminated in the five-year election have been sent to the imperial mausoleum. There was only one half-crazy concubine in the five or six courtyards that were connected, a woman of the emperor who had not even been famous. It was the first time that these two people had become friends with Poison Zun, and they didn't know that this was the disfigured ugly woman.

The wide wings of the Aquila stirred up the withered yellow weeds in the courtyard. Poison Zun got up from the bed excitedly and put a pill of white poplar left on the windowsill. Aquila's pointy, crooked mouth immediately swallowed the pill into its stomach. Satisfied, he stretched out a claw, and the claw was so big and sharp.

Although the poison venerable was covered in poison, he was also a little panicked about this creature. She carefully untied the bamboo tube tied to the Aquila's leg. Then he asked in a cautious tone.

"Can you wait for me here?"

"Quack, quack." Aquila screamed a few times, not knowing whether to agree or disagree. Poison Zun couldn't help but complain in his heart, his sister said that it was a divine eagle, this cry was really terrifying, and there was no charm of God at all.

didn't have time to communicate with the Condor, Poison Zun changed his appearance in the mirror again, and went to the emperor's bedroom.

Since the old emperor took the elixir refined by the poplar to replenish vitality, his body has returned to a state that is in line with his age.

King Xiaoyao left the court again, and the prince was confined to the prince's mansion. The affairs of the court were all spread on the emperor at once, which really made the old emperor a little unbearable.

I discussed state affairs with the courtiers for a long time in the court, and came back to watch the recital for a long time. After dinner, I was in no mood at all. This made the emperor a little regretful, how could he not do it. The flowers in the harem will bloom first. When it was almost dawn, the emperor was sleeping soundly, and he was picked up from the bed.

"Bold, there are assassins!" Before the old emperor's eyes opened, he reflexively shouted.

"What are you shouting? I'll see who dares to come out. Poison Zun said a word, and there was no movement in the dark.

"Poisonous concubine? I'm not dreaming, am I? "The old emperor is still a little ignorant.

"Dream your dreams. The deity is sending a letter to my sister and brother-in-law, don't think about it, don't be happy. Hurry up and read it, and write it as soon as you read it and need to reply to it. Poison Venerable's words made the old emperor completely sober. Only then did it become clear that it was a strange guard who picked him up.

"Are you really a poisonous concubine?"

"What nonsense, the deity said that he didn't want to see you in this life, so you should be regarded as a guard. Hurry up and read the letter, my sister and brother-in-law have already walked hundreds of miles, and it must be a national event to send the letter back. Don't make the deity despise you more. Poison Zun's words extinguished the ripples in the old emperor's heart, what can be more important than his own design.

With the lamp and candle lit by the poison venerable, the old emperor read the letter of his second son twice, and then burned the letter on the candle. Without talking nonsense, he wrote a reply directly and handed it to the guards. Finally, I asked.

"Is the letter from someone reliable?"

"Dead Emperor, don't you believe your son and daughter-in-law when you ask this? Tell you that it is a letter from God, do you say it is reliable? "Poison Zun didn't talk nonsense, turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, I'm not very energetic these days."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Death, do you think that the deity only understands poison and does not understand medicine. Your spiritual head is very suitable for your age, and you should guard your country. Don't think about those who don't have it, if the deity finds out that you sleep with a woman casually, I'll give you a handful of poisonous powder to taste. ”

"Don't dare, I still have to guard this country for my son."

"Well, that's like a human saying. Here you go, this is the tonic that my sister left for you. ”
