Chapter 530: Reunion after a Long Absence (2)
How to avoid people's eyes, how to make the tall and burly Tu Du pretend to be an ordinary coachman and farmer, this is by no means a simple matter.
Tu Du and his subordinates, their eyes were completely different from those of the Central Plains, and their excessively tall and strong bodies made people notice something strange at once.
Gao Fu had to let him pretend to be a hunchbacked person, and then use the disguise technique he learned from the palace to "change" his face.
Tu Du originally had a handsome face, with sharp edges and deep facial features. And what Gao Fuli has to do is to destroy this face, he made a lot of pockmarks on his face, and also put an ugly scar on his nose, as for his eyes, one is covered with an eyepatch, and the other is slightly squinted.
As a result, the appearance of Tudu has changed greatly. Not to mention outsiders, even his subordinates almost didn't recognize him.
Gao Welfare made Tu Du recognize himself, but he didn't expect him to be stunned on the spot.
"Let's go to deliver the goods together tomorrow, but the backyard and the inner house are not connected, and you won't see Her Royal Highness the princess. Let's just go and identify places. Moreover, you have to remember that you are a mute, and you cannot answer anyone who asks you, even if it is scolding and scolding, you have to be patient. ”
Tu didn't nod or shake his head, as if he had other plans.
Gao Fuli only said: "Great Khan, please bear with these few times, just for the sake of your children." ”
Tu Du nodded slightly when he heard this.
What is the internal environment of the Chu family, this is the first thing they have to figure out.
Gao Fuli also made a fake face for himself, and he deliberately made himself ugly. His subordinates pretend to be bosses, and Gao Welfare just pretends to be a buddy.
The backyard of the Chu family is equipped with hundreds of people, which should not be underestimated.
Gao Fuli saw so many people, and secretly gasped in his heart.
If you do, you're in trouble.
Gao Fuli couldn't help but glance back at Tu Du, his expression was fake, but his gaze was real, there was no retreat in his eyes, only urgency.
The second steward of the Chu family is waiting at the door.
There is a shortage of materials in the city, and so is the army, so what he is most worried about now is the three meals a day for his masters.
Right now, it's a good dish to be able to see some meat.
The second steward of the Chu family looked at the newly acquainted shopkeeper, who was able to bring him a cow and two sheep, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
"I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect you to really get a big animal."
"This man, this is something we have collected with great difficulty. The ox is milled, and the sheep is for the milk of the goat, and they are all clean and of the highest quality. You can give me more. ”
Gao Fu's subordinates negotiated the price with them decently.
The second steward of the Chu family smiled when he heard this: "Look up and see where this is?" This is the General's Mansion! Now, who is the master of this capital, don't you know in your hearts? It's rare for you to have a chance to come to the General's Mansion to see what price you can discuss? ”
"This ...... You don't know what the world is in this city. This silver is easy to find, but it is hard to find food. Just because this is the General's Palace, we deliver the best things to you. ”
As he spoke, Gao Fuli's men carried all the goods in, but the guards outside the door stopped them.
According to the rules of the Chu Mansion, outsiders are not allowed to enter.
The second steward of the Chu family immediately said: "Wait, we haven't discussed the price yet." ”
Tu Du was in a hurry, and he was about to go inside with the fat sheep on his shoulder, and when those guards saw this, they showed their swords one after another.
"Something unruly, where is this place?"
Seeing this, Gao Fuli hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Jun, don't worry, he is a fool and ignorant." With that, he slapped him on the head again.
His eyes must not be discovered by them.
Gao Fufu dragged Tudu hard, but he can't be impulsive now, otherwise, it will be a dead end.
I managed to get so many goods, but I didn't even get in the backyard door.
Gao Fuli couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, and Tu Du's mood was even worse.
Returning to the hideout in the east of the city, Tu Du grabbed Gao Fu's collar and said, "Didn't you say that you have a way?" If you don't let me into the house tomorrow, I'll kill you." ”
Gao Fuli saw that he was angry, and said helplessly: "Except for me, no one can take you in." Besides, this is the first time we've been back, so it's nice to be able to talk to them. Now we are familiar with each other, come and go, don't worry about no chance. Next time, I'll arrange for someone to cause some trouble outside the main gate to attract their guards, and maybe we will have a chance. ”
The anger in Tu Du's eyes gradually subsided when he heard this.
He will give him another chance, and if it doesn't work out again, he will figure out his own way, whether it's a night attack or a surprise attack, he will always break in.
"This time, we sent in enough food for them to eat for a few days. So, we can't go again tomorrow. ”
"Great Khan, the situation in the city is changing rapidly, we must not be careless."
Tu Du looked cold: "I don't have that much time, if Zhou Youchen and Chu Jingchuan really decide to eat dog, I may not do something?" ”
As the saying goes, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, this is the opportunity given to him by Beiyan himself.
"Great Khan, it's better that you don't mix in the muddy waters this time. Once you get caught up in it, no one wins. Gao Fuli said lightly.
Hearing this, Tu Du just said coldly: "Two days, I'll only give you two days, and then I'll figure it out myself." ”
Gao Fuli sighed helplessly, two days was too short, he couldn't do anything at all, and he couldn't do anything.
…
The second steward of the Chu family provided a sumptuous dinner for the masters because of the newly obtained food.
Wuwu looked at the table in front of him, frowned slightly, and said, "What's going on?" ”
Mingyue stepped forward and replied: "This is the steward in the mansion who has found a lot of good things." So I specially prepared these foods to make up for His Highness. ”
Wuwu shook his head slightly: "I heard that the people in the city are starving, we shouldn't waste it like this." ”
Mingyue lowered her head when she heard this: "This is the intention of the ladies, you can taste it." ”
Wuwu raised his finger and pointed to a dish on the table: "You only leave this meat dish, two bowls of mutton soup are enough, and the rest are all kept." ”
Now is not the time to waste, it's always good to be careful.
Mingyue hurriedly found the food box when she heard this, then put all the dishes away, and then rested on the steps in the ear room.
Wuwu took a bowl of mutton soup to Mingyue: "You can also drink it while it's hot." ”
"Slaves can't ......"
How can the master and servant have the rule of eating at the same table, although it is not in the palace now, but the rules are the rules, and it cannot be said that it will change.
Carefree raised his eyes to look at her: "You have been by my side for so long, and you have always been loyal. Now I don't think of you as a slave, but only as a confidant. ”
Mingyue's heart softened when she heard this, and tears appeared in her eyes. "Your Highness......"
"Okay, okay, you take the mutton soup, take a steamed bun, and go to the side and stand and eat."
At a time like this, every meal is extremely precious, and God knows how many people are still hungry outside.
The granary of the capital is now guarded by the Chu army, and the army's food is sufficient, but the life of the common people is miserable.
The supply of the army is a major matter, but the chaos in the city cannot be ignored.
The next morning, after the child fell asleep, he talked to his aunt Rong.
"Uncle, how much food do we have in our house?"
Rong was stunned by his question, and hurriedly said, "This ...... I don't really know. What is this, you ask? ”
"I heard that there was a famine going on in the city, and many people were starving, so I opened a porridge shop so that those who were hungry could have something to eat. ”
Rong Shi was surprised when he heard this, and looked at her dumbfounded.
"Your Highness, what are you...... Right now, it's chaotic outside, where can you take care of opening a porridge shop? ”
Seeing that she intended to object, she said, "Uncle, my uncle has been locked down for so long, and the people in the city have suffered a lot. They can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing, and they must hate their uncle very much, he was originally a big hero when he returned to the city, but now, his uncle is ...... has become the biggest enemy in the hearts of the people in the city! ”
Rong was shocked when he heard this.
How could she say such a thing, she shouldn't have ......
Seeing Rong's eyes rolling, he looked uneasy, and said, "Uncle, we're just helping them." Before my uncle closed the city, the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all of them lived well. But now? Their stable life has all been ruined by us, shouldn't our Chu family be responsible for this? ”
Rong was speechless and had nothing to say.
After thinking about it for a while, she nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to send a message to your uncle to see if he is willing?" ”
Wu Wu took out a folded note from his sleeve, handed it to her, and said, "This is the note I wrote for my uncle, he will definitely agree to it when he reads it." ”
Rong took it in his hand, nodded silently, and was about to turn around and go out, but turned around and said, "Your Highness, you have to forgive the general, he has no choice but to do this!" ”
From her tone, she could tell that Carefree did not approve of what her husband did, and even resented it.
Wu Wu looked at Rong and said, "Uncle, uncle used to be the person who loved me the most in this world. I have never forgotten his kindness. I respect him, but I can't respect his mistakes and his selfishness! ”
Regardless of the original intention of my uncle's move, the current situation has completely lost control.
The people in the city are starving, the people outside the city are fleeing, once the emperor returns with his troops, the big war is imminent, and I don't know how many people will be implicated......
Rong lowered his eyes slightly, sighed lightly and said: "No matter what, he is always your uncle, and Your Highness, you are also a member of the Chu family, our family must not have different intentions, we must work together." ”
Wuwu took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, what I have to do now is for the good of my uncle and the Chu family." ”
To appease the people's grievances, this is what the Chu family must do now.
