Chapter 17: Missing
The woman was very conspicuous, not because of her huge body, nor because of her ugly face, but because of her expression, very calm, with a hint of perfunctory calmness, which was very different from the sincerity and fear of the others around her.
The Nine Emperor Prince's narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed.
The people of this world have a natural awe of imperial power, and he does not feel this awe in this woman, either she has a problem with her brain and does not know how to be afraid; Either that, or she has a problem with her thinking, thinking that the royal people are not more than others, which is the so-called "equality".
Could it be her?
The Nine Emperor Princes sat up straight suddenly, and ordered the girl beside him, "Ziyan, go, bring the fat woman with a red spot on her face outside!" ”
Ziyan's face changed, "Could it be that she is the assassin who assassinated her master at the post station last time?" Okay, I'm going to order someone to arrest them and torture them! ”
Assassin? Still tortured?
The Nine Emperors' icy gaze shot straight at her, almost poking her into a hole, "I said, why do you people like divergent thinking so much? Who told you she's an assassin, your assassin is so fat? ”
It's really a pig's brain, not to mention killing people in terms of physique, running is a problem.
Ziyan was scolded so much that her face turned red, and she puffed out her cheeks and muttered unconvincedly: "Why did the master call her over, could it be that he took a fancy to her and wanted to bring her back to the capital?" ”
She didn't believe what she said.
The master himself is good-looking, and he is used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the palace, and his usual appearance can't get into his eyes at all, let alone such an ugly woman.
So, she couldn't be blamed for thinking like an assassin.
The corners of the Nine Emperors' lips curled slightly, "It's not impossible." ”
Purple Smoke was stupefied. It's over, her master's taste has suddenly become so heavy, this has to let Concubine Jin know that she has to peel her and cramp!
She was about to try her best to persuade her master to give up this terrifying idea, when the personal guard of the Nine Emperor Princes, Gentian, opened the pearl curtain and came in, and said, "Master, Zhang Quan'an, the county commander of Taiyuan County, asked to see him, saying that there is a good thing to report, and you will be happy to hear it." ”
"Happy?" The Nine Emperors sneered, "The river embankment has collapsed, and so many people have died, it can be seen that this is a tofu scum project, and he Zhang Quanan actually has the face to say that it makes me happy, ridiculous!" ”
Gentian's black face was full of question marks: "Master, what is the tofu slag project?" ”
The Nine Emperors waved his hand, "Okay, don't ask, you don't understand, it's really tiring to communicate with you people." Go, let that Zhang Quan'an come over, I want to hear how the fish in his net still wants to jump! ”
Gentian led the order out.
The Nine Emperor Princes glared at Ziyan again, "What kind of plane are you going to bring that woman over, what are you doing standing stupidly, do you want to wait until the end of the New Year?" ”
Ziyan didn't dare to speak anymore, and quickly rolled out.
After a while, Zhang Quanan, the commander of Taiyuan County, came in, in his early forties, with two beards and bright eyes, he looked like a person who was good at drilling camps.
"His Highness the Nine." He made a big salute.
The Nine Emperor Princes glanced at him, picked up a grape from the silver plate on the small table, and asked in a light tone while peeling the skin: "Say, what kind of happy event?" ”
Zhang Quanan said flatteringly: "That's the case, His Royal Highness the Ninth left for Beijing today, and the officials have always had a clean sleeve, and they don't have much money to buy a parting gift, so I want to give two people to you." ”
Person? It can't be a woman, right? In ancient times, this set was promoted, and the little wife was stuffed by the superior at every turn, and she was tired.
The Nine Emperor Princes sneered: "Lao Zhang, are you funny with your brains, I... Your Highness wants a woman to be able to send it from you? "I don't know how many palace maids there are around him, and they are all beautiful and beautiful, besides, what kind of beauties can be raised in this poor and remote landscape.
Zhang Quanan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, Your Highness, you misunderstood, what the lower officials want to send is not a woman, but a man." ”
Ahem, ahem! The Nine Emperor Princes choked on grape seeds.
He raised his hand to refuse Zhang Quanan's service, groped around on his body for a while, and finally took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, wiped his mouth casually, and then looked up at Zhang Quanan speechlessly.
Yes, his reputation is not very good, what a good man, what a habit of breaking sleeves, but is it appropriate to stuff him with a man so clearly?
He narrowed his eyes, glared at Zhang Quanan, and gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it or not, I kicked you to death?" ”
The prince was furious, and the black yarn was not guaranteed.
Zhang Quanan was so frightened that he knelt down and slapped himself twice, "His Royal Highness the Ninth is angry, it's the lower official who didn't make it clear, the lower official should die!" Yes, as you know, this time the dam collapsed, thanks to Shen Li and Guo Zishun to turn the tide and plug the gap with giant trees, to avoid greater losses. The two of them are born with divine power and invincible bravery, as long as they are trained a little, they will definitely be able to become the right-hand man of His Royal Highness Nine in the future, and protect His Highness. Therefore, the lower official has ordered someone to bring them over, this gift, I don't know if His Royal Highness likes it? ”
Zhang Quanan was born in the same Jinshi, from the main book to the county, and then climbed step by step to the position of the county commander of Taiyuan County, the best thing is to figure out the mind of Shangguan.
Yesterday, he saw that the Nine Emperor Princes praised Shen Liang and Guo Zishun, praised them for their bravery, and rewarded each of them with ten taels of silver.
So, if he gave these two people as gifts to the Nine Emperor Princes, he must be happy, right? When the time comes, when he enters Beijing, he can also leave some mercy on his lips, at least to save the lives of his family.
The eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes suddenly sharpened, he lowered his head to look at the man kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Shen Liang and Guo Zishun are willing to go with me?" ”
Zhang Quanan looked stunned and immediately replied, "Naturally." It is their blessing to be able to serve by the side of His Royal Highness the Nine, how can there be any reason to be unwilling. ”
That's a nice thing to say.
The Nine Emperors smiled, "Lao Zhang, as a man, you must be kind." I guess, you're threatening someone's old lady and young sister, right? ”
He did take a fancy to those two people, especially that Shen Li, not only was he born with divine power, but also had a good heart and eyes, and knew how to be flexible, the most important thing is that he is good-looking, compared with what he has, it is comfortable to look at it every day, isn't it?
That Guo Zishun is not bad, he is tall and big, he has brute strength, the only drawback is that his heart is too real, but this kind of person also has a benefit, where to fight, so that it is easy to use.
It's a pity that he asked yesterday, and Shen Liang said that there are younger brothers and sisters at home to support, and they can't do without it; Guo Zishun said that his mother was old and did not travel far, so she refused to go to the capital.
He is recruiting talents, of course, people have to be willing, otherwise it will be a hidden danger, who knows when he will bite back. Therefore, there is no reluctance, anyway, it will be a long time coming, and he will talk about it when he goes to the capital to gain a firm foothold and needs them.
Unexpectedly, in order to please himself, this county order actually forced them, and it was really ruthless enough.
Zhang Quanan didn't expect that the Nine Emperor Princes had already understood everything, and he was so frightened that he kowtowed, "Your Highness the Nine, the lower officials... Xiaguan is also for you..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, His Highness is still in a hurry." The Nine Emperor Princes waved his hand impatiently, "Go back and immediately release Shen Liang and Guo Zishun to me, one less hair will kill you, do you understand?" ”
"Yes, yes, I understand."
"If you understand, get out of here, and look at you upset!"
Zhang Quanan didn't dare to let go of a fart, hunched his waist and shrunk his neck and retreated.
The Nine Emperor Princes angrily threw a grape into his mouth, thought about it, and shouted, "Purple smoke? ”
Ziyan lifted the curtain and came in, her expression a little unsightly.
"Master."
"What about people? Bring it or not? ”
"People... The man is gone. ”
The Nine Emperor Princes Huo Ran stood up, "What did you say?" He immediately lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and looked out, and sure enough, the place where the fat woman had been before was empty.
He turned his head and looked at Ziyan suspiciously, "You can't deliberately make people blind, right?" ”
Ziyan hurriedly shouted injustice: "Master, the person you want, how dare the slave dare to hide it privately." The slave had already searched the neighborhood just now, but she didn't find it, so she might have gone home. ”
She secretly glanced at her master's face and asked tentatively, "Why don't you send someone to look for it again?" ”
The Nine Emperors' face was cloudy, and after a while, he sighed, "Forget it, don't bother too much, save yourself from disturbing the people." ”
Maybe it wasn't her at all, she was such a delicate person, even if she became ugly, she couldn't let herself be sloppy like that, her hair was messy, her clothes were all gray, like a crazy woman.
So, it shouldn't be her.
Soon, the procession marched out of the city, farther and farther away.
