The sound of the gong sounded again in a dense and noisy voice, and for the fourth time since the beginning, half of them had already fallen into the hands of the guards, perhaps dead, perhaps worse than dead.

"Stop!"

The layout of the Qin Guogong Mansion is very clear, and you have to go through a gate to enter everywhere, from the backyard where the family of Qin Guogong lives, to the house of the people under the wing, and then here, you have to go through such a door, and inside and outside these doors, it is also a place where patrols are concentrated.

He was greeted by a strong man with a sturdy body and a short beard under his forehead, and the leader of the first patrol team in front of him.

"You're from the northeast! Do you hear the sound of a fight on the other end? ”

Zhou Tingpu bowed respectfully, his limbs trembled, raised his two eyes that were red from the entry of pepper and said: "Uncle, we are from the northeast, it's terrible, I don't know if a few of them are fighting with the guards of the patrol!" The little one is desperately trying to escape and deliver a letter with the uncle! ”

"How many people? It seems that there are a lot of kittens and puppies that sneaked into the house today! The strong man snorted twice in dissatisfaction and indignation.

"There are only two guards on the patrol! There were four of them, and one of them had been stabbed to death before two hits, and they should have all been taken by now. Zhou Tingpu secretly observed the strong man's expression, but his right hand was holding his dagger tightly in the palm of his hand.

"What an event! Anyway, there are only two people, and the people in the northeast will naturally deal with it, so as not to mess up the rules again! You two go to the room to help, a bunch of waste, it takes half an hour to make a meal, and grandpa is dying of hunger! ”

The strong man licked his dry and peeling lips and strode back to the patrol. Zhou Tingpu followed behind with his waist, but he made the strong man unhappy and hungry and drank a few times, and was drunk by this one, Zhou Tingpu took Du Yiyi into the room with a smile, squatted on the side of a subordinate and picked up the two garlic balls in the basket and peeled them, Du Yiyi also squatted aside, doing nothing and learning to peel Zhou Tingpu carefully and carefully.

"Alas...... Which yard are you from? How do you look at the eyes? The man in his early thirties, who was peeling garlic, stared at Zhou Tingpu and Du Yiyi twice, and put the peeled garlic rice on a plate.

"We are in the backyard, and we sweep the floor on weekdays, where is there a good life like you, you can be an errand in the room." Zhou Tingpu Mo looked up with envy and jealousy, glanced at the room, and sighed: "This place, not to mention the warmth, the things that this master doesn't eat are all good things, but I don't eat less, brother!" ”

Seeing Zhou Tingpu's eyes shining with envy, the man sneered and rolled his eyes disdainfully: "Who is your brother, who is better than you sweeping the floor in the backyard, this house is indeed a good place!" ”

Zhou Tingpu nodded in agreement: "That's that!" This is the master of the backyard is gone, we have no father and no mother, so we stayed here, and we have been waiting for those masters in the backyard for the past two days, and now we are ordered to come to your room to help, brother, see if there is anything delicious to fill the stomach of the brother? Not to mention, I haven't had a punctual meal in the past two days! ”

"Who has eaten a punctual meal in this house, how easy is it to cook the meal of more than a thousand people, I haven't stopped for a moment in the past two days, and I can't even sleep at night! If it weren't for the great kindness of my lord, who would want to stay here and suffer! ”

The man carefully rubbed his somewhat hazy eyes with the back of his hand, still red from the garlic.

"Who's to say it isn't! But I heard those masters say that the master took everyone to the palace, and good people have good rewards! The Ning family has been sitting for so long, it's time to change the owner! ”

Du Yiyi looked at Zhou Tingpu beside him, who was talking like that, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and continued to peel the garlic.

Zhou Tingpu also started at the grassroots level before joining the army, and used to be the most dangerous sentinel, that is, a spy.

"That's what I said! The old man is the one who saved the Holy Ancestor, and the old man was born and died for the sake of Dahe! The old lady was forced to death by the emperor! Treat the hero like this, if it were me, I would be against the fuck! The old man is loyal to the ministers, how many hard work he has made over the years, and the faint monarch actually wants to force the old man to hand over the Fuhu Army, which is really unbearable. ”

Zhou Tingpu's words went to this person's heart, people who know the overall situation outside and can still serve in the Qin State Mansion, needless to say, should know that they are loyal to the Qin State Prince, Zhou Tingpu brought this talk, and the room where he could only hear the sound of kitchen knives chopping wood and burning the spatula immediately became lively, and one by one he said that it was not worth it for the Qin Guogong, and they were even more indignant and degraded the emperor to uselessness.

His words had an effect, and Zhou Tingpu began to climb up the pole.

"There is another person who is very hateful, if he hadn't come with the emperor's letter, why would the old lady be like this, alas............ I want the old man and the old lady to love and love as deep as the sea, but now it is not desolate at each end of the sky! ”

"! As soon as he talked about that Shen Ke, Lao Tzu wanted to kill his grandmother with a knife, how good the master was to him, he had come to us a few times before, and he was all fed to the white-eyed wolf! It was a fat man who was struggling to chop the lean lump of flesh on the board that slashed the kitchen knife on the board and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm to the side.

"Niu Er, don't say it, he is a hussar general, you two times, and hack him to death, hey, don't tell jokes, I'm happy to kill Lao Tzu!" A forty-year-old man sitting on the stove with firewood stuffed in the stove outside the stove smirked, and folded the branch with Du Yiyi's thumb in hand into three pieces and stuffed it into the stove.

"I said what are you chirping, hurry up and cook rice, I'm dying of hunger!" The strong man who stopped Zhou Tingpu and the two at first poked his head in outside, and scolded twice dissatisfiedly, and the people who were still gossipy at first immediately lowered their heads and started their work, and the strong man saw that he was silent, so he snorted coldly and scolded and left.

From the propped up window, I saw the strong man walking away, and Niu Er, who was holding his breath, pulled out the kitchen knife on the board, and stomped on the lump of lean meat on the board with a crackle. "I said, old Liu, how do you talk! I can't kill him, I can't talk about it! Look at it, when the old man pulls the dog emperor down, that Shen Ke will definitely have to be buried by the old lady! ”

"That's right, just don't send his meal today, anyway, sooner or later he will die, and keeping it will save us some effort, the brothers said yes! Don't say it, every time I go to deliver food and hear that eunuch talk, this goosebump falls to the ground! A young man who was washing the dishes shook the water in his hands, pursed his lips in disgust, and sent a piece of plate to the table in the left corner, waiting for the cook to beat the dishes out of the pot and put them on the plate.

Du Yiyi, who lowered his head and was silently peeling the garlic, heard the word eunuch, and immediately thought of the book Ruhai, which had disappeared for two days, raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Tingpu, and saw that he was still peeling garlic with a blank face, so he didn't speak.

"You don't want to die! Didn't you hear the housekeeper say that there is a meal there that is indispensable? Shen Ke may still be of great use, that eunuch heard that he is also a cronie of the Dog Emperor, maybe he can know something, the master left them a dog's life, of course there is an arrangement! The cook, whose arm was as thick as Zhou Tingpu's thigh, picked up the wooden plate on the side, scooped the vegetables in the cauldron into the wooden plate with a large iron spoon, and handed it to the young man who was washing the dishes.

"Erlizi, remember to bring me a bundle of firewood when you go to the firewood room, this firewood is not enough!" The man who lit the fire put the firewood into the roaring stove and wiped the hot sweat from his head.

"Howler!" The young man, who had already loaded dozens of large plates of the dish, answered the door, went out of the door, took the gong and the stick on the windowsill, and struck it twice vigorously.

As soon as the gong sounded, the strong man who had just left was the first to rush over, and after pushing away the young man with the big gong, the strong man entered the room and looked at it in front of the desk.

"Grandma's, why is it cabbage again, Lao Tzu's least favorite thing is cabbage!" In the corner of the desk, there are many steaming wooden barrels, which are also evenly filled with the dishes that have been prepared before.

"Master, you're coming faster, I've only struck the gong twice, and the last dish hasn't been cooked yet, so you still have to wait!" The young man smiled and walked over to the strong man.

"Grandma's, it's so slow every time! Give Lao Tzu a bowl of rice first, and Lao Tzu will eat a little first! The strong man rolled his eyes in displeasure, and he didn't care about holding chopsticks, so he directly picked up a piece of meat on the plate with his hand and put it in his mouth.

"Since you are hungry, eat some first, and then eat when this last dish is ready, and I will serve you rice!" The young man was also a clever man, and immediately took a big bowl full of a bowl of rice and sent it to the strong man, seeing this fragrant and hot rice, the strong man's face was much better, and after taking it, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and squatted in the corner to eat.

"I'm going to deliver food first, old Liu, I'll bring you a bundle of firewood later! You help me look at the dots first! ”

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and filled two more bowls of rice and picked up a basket on the desk.

"Don't worry! Go and come back quickly! Now is the hour when the cold wind is howling, but the old Liu Tou who is sitting by the stove is sweating like rain, and the young man sighs and responds, and he goes out quickly.

"Ouch............ My brother has a stomachache, where is your latrine? Zhou Tingpu saw the opportunity and stood up with Du Yiyi.

"Go left, just turn a corner!" The man who peeled the garlic talked to Zhou Tingpu and showed him the place.

"Thank you, thank you so much! You go first, but you get lost, this is no better than our backyard! Zhou Tingpu let go of his hand and secretly made a look with Du Yiyi.

Du Yiyi nodded, held her stomach and held on to the door and left.

"Don't say that I've had a stomach trouble in the past two days, Lao Zheng, don't you wash the vegetables cleanly!" As soon as Du Yiyi left, the others had another topic. Zhou Tingpu looked at the situation behind him, waited for a while, and then said to the person in front of him: "So much should be enough!" ”

"It's pretty much it! So you wash your hair outside. The man flicked the garlic rice on the plate, picked up a few slices of garlic skin, poured it into the basket on the side, and handed the basket to Zhou Tingpu.

"Good, good!" Zhou Tingpu took the basket as if flattering, and quickly left the house.

The firewood room is in this place, although the specific location is not clear, but the approximate location Du Yiyi knows, sure enough, after two rounds, she saw the young man with the basket, and the direction he went to was a lonely house not far away, and there were strict guards outside, and it was greasy at a glance.

"Brother!" She was about to step forward, but Zhou Tingpu chased after her.

The young man was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhou Tingpu, and said unhappily: "Why are you here!" ”
