Chapter Twenty-Seven: General Shen
The first street of the capital of Nanliang is the most lively street.
The bustling streets, the endless flow of people, the dazzling array of goods, and the juggling skills that make people applaud are showing the prosperity of the capital.
It's similar to what was filmed on costume TV. But it's always a novelty to be there.
If you can ignore the noisy and disturbing sounds around you, this tour can be considered enjoyable.
"Mother...... Son. Receiving someone's glaring eyes, Green Pothos hurriedly changed her words: "It's not too early, let's go back." ”
"The sun hasn't set yet, what's the hurry...... Well, these macaroons are so delicious, I'll pack twenty of them and bring them home. ”
Countless black threads were woven into a net covering the helpless face of the green pothos.
The people in front of him are dressed as men, with faces like crowned jade, clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, like a handsome and charming young man, just looking at his appearance, it is indeed very pleasing to the eye. But at this moment, she is holding a sugar gourd in her left hand and an almond cake in her right hand, her cheeks are stuffed and bulging, and she is eating it with a chirp, without any elegant image at all.
Just now I accompanied Niangniang to the teahouse to listen to the book, and all I said was the Feng family. It was sad and indignant to hear, but the person concerned was like an outsider, eating and drinking nonsense at the moment, and his emotions were not affected at all.
Ah Jiu stopped in front of a small stall, finished nibbling on a phoenix claw, sucked his fingers unsatisfied, and said, "This iced sour and spicy phoenix claw is also good, pack twenty of them." ”
Pothos tongue. She...... Is it the reincarnation of a starving ghost? I can eat so much!
The pothos pinched the purse that had been squeezed dry, and her heart was dripping blood. Her two months' salary is almost empty by her.
Seeing that she didn't move, Ah Jiu turned his eyes to look: "What's the matter, you feel sorry for the money?" ”
The pothos looked embarrassed and quickly shook his head. Gritted his teeth, took out the silver, and handed it over.
"Girl, you might as well let it go, can you still buy it?"
The pothos glared at him fiercely, and then reluctantly let go of his hand.
Ah Jiu's eyes were moist when she saw her, and she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry. patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, this son will not let you suffer." I'll give you back twice as much as you use. ”
"Childe is serious, it is the honor of a slave to be able to serve Childe and dedicate himself to Childe, what to say is a loss, it is too outward."
Ah Jiu glanced at her with a "promising" look and said, "You are really a considerate and sensible girl, and my son is very pleased." You treat me as your own, so talking about money really hurts feelings. In that case, let's not say it. ”
The pothos sighed and looked at her in a daze. She, she's just polite, but this lady really doesn't see her at all!
She is not greedy, but she has a frail mother at home, and a younger brother who has just entered the school. Her father's business was cheated during his lifetime, and the foreign debts he owed are now repaid by her.
Ah Jiu ignored her bitter expression, took the packaged food and turned to leave casually.
Pothos had never seen a woman eat so much, as if possessed by a starving ghost. I've never seen her so edible in the palace!
originally thought that she was informal, unruly, and easy to serve. But after being coerced by her in the morning, Luluo felt that this lady was a little black-bellied. When listening to books in the tea shop, Luluo felt that she was a little indifferent and a little heartless. I really doubt whether she is a member of the Feng family.
"Childe, it's almost time to go back. In case the prince returns to the house before us, the slave and maid really can't afford to blame it. Pothos reminded her in a whisper. If she goes on any further, she's really going to bleed.
"Okay, okay, get down to business." This closed-mouthed Tina Palace, it's really disturbing.
"What else does Childe have to do?"
Ah Jiu's eyes rolled around, and when he saw a few beggars squatting on the corner of the street, he hooked the corners of his mouth, turned his head and asked, "Pothos, how much silver do you still have?" ”
The green pothos was stunned, and subconsciously pinched the money bag: "There is not much." ”
Ah Jiu looked at her nervously, looked at her as if he was looking at a robber, and couldn't help but feel funny: "Don't worry, I'm just borrowing." I'll give it back to you, double. She held up two fingers in promise.
She wouldn't be able to get out the 10,000 taels of gold she owed to the Shangguan dog thief for a while, but this little bit of money couldn't bother her.
"There aren't many slaves left...... "Pothos is very embarrassed. Lend it out, I'm embarrassed to let her pay it back. Say no, no. Even if they are not the mothers of the original scenery, they are also guests in the house. If you neglect the guests, the reputation of the palace will always be affected.
Although the reputation of the Nine Kings Mansion was not very good.
"It doesn't take much, just take it and ask a few beggars over there about something."
"Ah, what can those beggars do?" Pothos was puzzled.
"Don't underestimate these beggars, they have a huge organization, connections to all corners of the world, and a strong information network." In modern times, if you want to know the world's affairs, Baidu is OK. However, in ancient times, this teahouse and wine shop was the best place to listen to gossip, and if you want to find people and things, you have to find beggars. It's the equivalent of a private detective.
Maybe they'll be able to help her figure out where the pattern came from.
The pothos seemed to understand but didn't understand. said: "If there is anything wrong with the mother, just go directly to the prince." The prince has more abilities, and he is much stronger than those beggars. "The main thing is that it doesn't cost anything!
"I just didn't want to ask him to come out." At first glance, the belly black goods look like a person who will not suffer. Everything has to be exchanged for equal value, and begging him may take the opportunity to squeeze her and make her sign some unequal treaties.
"But the slave hasn't paid her monthly money this month......" Pothos slowly took out the money bag and muttered.
Ah Jiu pretended not to hear.
Hey, it's also quite embarrassing for someone to open their mouth to borrow money, and you need to be thick-skinned. Looks like she's going to have to find a way to fill her pockets. People are mixed in the rivers and lakes, and sometimes this money makes people feel more secure than having a body of kung fu.
The pothos handed her the money bag in great confusion, and suddenly a person bumped into her.
"Ah, my purse—" Pothos exclaimed.
Ah Jiu was stunned, and then angry: "Damn! The girl grabbed the money and grabbed the aunt's head. Little thief, where to run! ”
With a roar, she didn't hesitate to chase after her.
——
At the south gate, an army is entering the city in an orderly manner.
On both sides of the street, there was a dark crowd of people.
Hearing that the general had won the battle and moved back to Beijing, the people rushed to see the style.
Among the hundreds, most of them are women. Especially Yunying's unmarried girls, they have all been carefully dressed up. I hope that in this crowd, I can be looked at by the general, and I have no regrets in this life.
Several officers and soldiers stopped on both sides.
At this moment, the scene is still very harmonious and orderly.
The soldiers who entered the city lined up one after another. Then, a tall black horse walked in the middle.
On horseback, a man in silver armor was heroic.
"General Shen is here......" someone called. The crowd began to stir.
"Wow, General Shen is so handsome......"
"It's simply a ...... heaven and man"
"If you can win the favor of the general, even if you are a concubine, you are willing to ......" A wealthy merchant lady looked at his cold side face with love in her eyes.
Everyone was intoxicated by the charm of the general's spirit and might, and the voices of various girls rose and fell.
"Thief, stop me!" A coquettish sound sounded in the waves, but no one noticed.
The man on horseback moved his ears and rolled his eyes slightly.
"Ah, General Shen has come to see it, is he looking at me?"
"Oh my God, I can't breathe......" The girl who stood in the direction of his gaze held her chest and reveled. Happiness came so suddenly!
"Catch the thief, get out of the way—" The street suddenly became crowded, and the man who was bent on catching the thief didn't notice anything unusual, just roared all the way through the crowd.
The thief, who had been chased for several streets, was out of breath and exhausted. Looking back, the woman was still persevering and couldn't help but scold her mother. She's a scud, and she's never seen a woman who can run like this.
The little thief pushes and shoves others while running, creating chaos.
"Ah, who pushed me......"
"Who stepped on my foot—"
For a while, screaming and scolding began, and the crowd staggered and was chaotic.
The man on horseback frowned, his eyes sharpening to catch the figure that caused the chaos.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, his head was slightly sideways, his hand was raised, and his two fingers intercepted the sudden hidden weapon.
In the next second, he smelled a strange smell, and when he looked at it, his cold face was slightly stunned.
Seeing this, the leading captain shouted, "There are assassins—"
The soldiers immediately took out their weapons with good training.
"Wait."
"General?"
He looked at the two men and said in a deep voice, "Control the scene, don't cause panic, and avoid the people from getting hurt." ”
No one dared to commit violence against him in broad daylight. And...... Or use chicken paws as a hidden weapon.
On the other side, Ah Jiu stepped on the shoulder of the person who fell to the ground, and flew into the air with his strength, as dexterous as a swallow.
Seeing that he was about to catch the thief, he did not expect him to use despicable means to sprinkle white powder in her face.
Ah Jiu was startled and raised his hand to block his face. But he didn't see his feet clearly, suddenly stepped on the air, fell down with a scream, and fell into a.
"Are you alright?"
Dizzy, I heard a magnetic voice comparable to a waltz sounding, gorgeous and beautiful.
She thought that this person would help her, but she waited for a long time without moving, so she slowly got up and squinted.
This person is dressed in silver-white armor and has a heroic posture. The gilded sunlight shone down and surrounded him with a circle of fine brilliant light, like a dream.
Her gaze moved upward, her heart shook violently, and she was stunned.
She stared at him in disbelief. His lips opened and closed, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.
Countless emotions churned in my heart, and I only felt that my nose was sore.
"You're getting a nosebleed."
Ah Jiu was stunned, raised his hand to wipe it, stared at the blood on the back of his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was ugly.
I thought it was a sad scene and wanted to cry, but it was a nosebleed.
"General, the man has been caught." The captain grabbed the thief and handed him a money bag.
"This is yours?"
Ah Jiu nodded stunned, his eyes never taking his eyes off his face.
The man gave her a deep look, then returned the purse to her, and turned away.
“…… Ah V. She subconsciously grabbed his hand.
"Presumptuous—" the captain scolded her for overstepping.
The man glanced at the captain, then looked at her, "Is there anything else?" ”
He had a gentle voice, but an indifferent expression, and a distant-eyed look at her as if he were a stranger.
Ah Jiu felt a faint pain in his heart.
"You...... Don't know me? ”
The man frowned, looked at it seriously for a long time, and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I don't have much impression of Childe." ”
"I'm not ......" she wanted to deny her identity as a man, but reason stopped her in time. There are officers and soldiers all around, and once their identities are revealed, they will be in trouble.
Ah Jiu turned to ask, "Then have you been seriously injured before?" Something like a coma, amnesia or something? ”
He still shook his head indifferently.
Ah Jiu stubbornly dragged him. And he just looked at her quietly. After a while, she let go of her hand dejectedly, and said with a disappointed face: "That may really be my mistaken person." ”
His eyes wandered, he glanced at her with deep meaning in his eyes, and turned away without saying anything, leaving the captain and officers and soldiers to deal with the aftermath.
When Luluo found Ah Jiu, she was really shocked to see her embarrassed and depressed.
"Oh my God, mother, how did you get this way?"
"I'm fine." Ah Jiu handed her the money bag and said listlessly, "Your money bag." See if the silver is missing? ”
Pothos can not care about inspection. said nervously: "Don't worry about this for now, the slave just saw the prince coming here." ”
