Chapter 291: Deputy Inspector Ma
After finding a good state, Zhou Yu's whole person became relaxed. At this moment, the haze in Tianyin City was gradually released with the retreat of the besieging army.
"How's it going?"
Princess Huanyu gently closed the door and sighed with her back against the door.
"With the medicine, the situation is somewhat better."
The expressions on the faces of the surrounding civil and military officials and the grandchildren and grandmothers were different, and among them was the young man with a delicate face. Previously, it was this person who fought with the Metropolitan Governor on the fire wheel, and was ordered to "hand" the sacrificial pottery to Zhou Yu in some special form.
"Sister, is the Lord really safe?"
The young man seems to be more anxious than others, after the death of Taiila among the sons of Cuoling, who is the successor of the lord's throne is even more confusing, and now the old man is seriously ill, everyone has their own ghosts, and their hearts are different. Although Cuo Ling has praised himself many times, but I can't count the edicts, you can't say that my father always praises me, and I will ascend the throne by this sentence.
"Tyre, you don't have to worry about this, just do your part. Your Excellency is fine, please come back. ”
The fleeting loss in Tyre's eyes was accurately captured by Huanyu, but she pretended not to see anything, dusted off the yarn, and left like the wind.
With the response of the chief princess, who would dare to make a mistake? Although their faces were full of worry and doubt, everyone still retreated stupidly.
"Princess, why don't you tell them the truth?"
The maid who had been electrocuted twice by 139 was still open-mouthed, and when she saw the deserted corner, she hurriedly raised her questions.
"At present, the great enemy and the collapse of the country's fortunes, it is fortunate to be able to resist for a while. At this time, if the matter of the Lord's terminal illness and death is announced, Tianyin City will not be in a mess? All the previous efforts were in vain. ”
Previous efforts? I don't know if what the eldest princess is talking about is her own efforts or the careful thoughts of others.
Huanyu frowned, although the lotus step was small but in full swing, and hurriedly moved towards his bedroom. At this moment, what she was thinking about repeatedly was, could it be that kid really enlightened? Obviously, I didn't see any hint of condescension on his part, but now that the spies have reported that all the coalition forces have retreated to a hundred miles away, and the war has ushered in a turning point, this point is clearly in front of him.
"Fire Moth, did I send you the letter you sent away?"
"But then, eldest lady, I sent two fast horses out, and I didn't come back one. I don't know if the bad guy ran too fast to catch up, or if something went wrong on the way. I'm more anxious than you are, seeing how this thing is going to be done, Fire Moth pleads! ”
As she spoke, the girl slapped herself lightly.
"Hard!"
"Celestia, are you serious?"
The fire moth looked at Huanyu with tears in her eyes, she had been serving this eldest lady for nearly ten years, she had never inflicted corporal punishment on herself, could it be that she couldn't hide from this fight today?
With a snort, Huanyu laughed, although Meiyu's worries did not completely dissipate, but it was also a joke between the two, which changed the atmosphere.
In Tianyin City, the first day of the curfew.
A thin man wearing a felt hat, a shabby sheepskin jacket, and a pockmarked face that looked dirty squatted on the corner of the street, and from time to time he swept the broken pottery bowl in his hand, and there were two or three pieces of broken chestnuts in it, which were swaying black and swarthy, and refused to stop for a moment. The man looked no different from the dozen beggars beside him, but there was a hint of cunning and unusual carelessness in his eyes.
"Hey, brother? I'm afraid there's no news today, right? ”
"Brother Mazi, just after the curfew, I have to pay for some food in exchange for a dumpling. In your bowl ... ”
A little beggar with a sharp beak next to him reached out and pulled the broken chestnuts in his bowl and took a sip of disdain.
"Alas, there's no way, who let the master not ask for food!"
After speaking, Brother Mazi casually took out a huge dumpling from his arms, white and fat like a woman's chest, and the short man next to him drooled, and his eyes were about to fall out.
Grunt, the boy's stomach cried out and betrayed his master.
"What's inside, Brother Mazi, Brother Mazi, you have it in stock! I said, why are you on fire in the temple, and the monk is not in a hurry! Look at what we say, how bad we say, the small ones should be pumped, they should be drawn! ”
Before he finished speaking, the little man slapped himself on the face, but his face smiled as brightly as a spring flower, and his body hurriedly came over.
"Brother Mazi, you can't eat such a big dumpling alone, do you want my little brother to help you?"
"Help me? You're stabbing me, aren't you? Horse sores! ”
It turned out that the little man was called a horse sore.
"Hehe, where is it, feng shui takes turns, what we pay attention to when we want to eat is a family fun, and we are blessed and enjoy hardships together!"
"Oh? I've been here for a few days, and I haven't seen you blessed with me, huh? Seeing that I had something to eat, I came over. ”
Ma Su sneered and smiled, his eyes did not leave the piece of fine grain for a moment, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva vigorously, and burped hungry.
"Look at your boy's bear-like look! To give! ”
Brother Mazi took a mouthful of thick phlegm, broke the dumpling into two, and handed half of it to the horse sores. The horse's eyes lit up, and he was about to pounce on him like a wolf. But the dumpling flew away by itself, and the wolf pounced.
"Brother Mazi, what are you...
"Want to eat?"
The sores nodded like a money counter.
"I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat!"
It's like a reading pen again.
"If you want to eat, you'll have to get something in exchange."
Brother Ma Zi said, stuffed the dumpling into his mouth with his left hand and bit it hard, his mouth kept clicking, but his right hand put the other half back to his chest.
"Look, look at this...
Ma Yu raised his clay bowl in front of Brother Ma Zi and clanked it vigorously, and there was only a slightly larger piece of chestnut in it, and the others were also from the scum. It is not much better than his harvest at all, the current disaster of war, the homeless people and hungry soldiers, where is there anyone who can care about the good work of asking for food, if there is no harvest, it is normal.
"Who asked your Suori to come?"
"So, what do you want?"
The queen moved alertly, and hurriedly sealed her ass with her right hand. It is said that many people have to be forced to change their orientation and massage each other's prostate to meet their physiological needs.
"Get out of the way, you little!"
Brother Mazi obviously understood his concern, and threw his broken pottery bowl aside, his face full of disgust.
"So, what do you think?"
"I ask you, horse sores. I'm a newcomer, and I'm not very familiar with Tianyin City, how do I enter the royal city? ”
Ma Sore's eyes widened, completely forgetting the request for bread just now, and looking at him as if he were an alien.
"Into the royal city? I said Brother Mazi, aren't you crazy? If we ask for food, we must stand on the street, so that we will have food to eat and Suo Li, and when we go to the gate of the royal city, we will have our legs broken, let alone enter. It's just deadly! ”
Ma Sore shook his head, waved his hand, and twisted his head to the side. Bai talked to this person for a long time, and it turned out to be a madman.
"Whoa!"
Half of the big white dumplings appeared in front of Ma Sore's eyes, and this kid snatched it away with a hungry tiger, gobbling it up and stuffing it into his throat, eager to stuff it directly into the cardia door.
Brother Mazi looked funny, dug up a pottery shard from the canal in the corner of the wall and handed it over.
Knock knock, a few mouthfuls of dirty water into the stomach, soak the dumplings you just eaten, okay! Hold on! It's really satisfying.
"Brother Mazi, what you just said about going to Wangcheng is not true?"
After eating and drinking, he began to make trouble. is the so-called full of lust, beggars have no place to vent their lust, this kind of bragging can be regarded as a kind of lust, and it is a fixed pattern.
Even if there was no meat to eat, the horse sores were still picking his teeth next to him, and his gums had already shrunk due to long-term malnutrition, and he could even stuff his fingers between his teeth, but he didn't need a toothpick.
Ma Partridge sneaked in with an order this time, lying under the carriage of Princess Huanyu along the way, he didn't dare to speak out, and what was even more difficult was that he had to hold the posture of two-finger Zen, once he fell to the ground, not only could the plan not be realized, but his life might not be guaranteed.
At first, Zhou Yu ordered him to come in and contact the Xi'er clan, unify and move this killer force, and play a good role. But everything backfires, otherwise it wouldn't be an online novel, right, after Ma Partridge entered the city, he went to the intelligence station according to the contact method that Cathy taught him, and guess what?
The cover agency is a Suoli shop, which was seized because of the tight war, and a big hat of buying and selling, speculating, and making war money was deducted, and a group of more than a dozen people were cut off their heads, and the rest of the people scattered everywhere dared to show their heads and bubble when they saw it, and they dived deeper one by one.
It's hard for Ma Partridge, he is a clever person, otherwise Zhou Yu would not have entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility. Well, since God won't help me, I'll come by myself, and Ma Partridge will start with the beggars who have entered the streets and alleys. The Metropolitan Governor has told them many times the story of when he was a slave soldier, and everyone can put down their bodies, roll up their sleeves and start from the bottom.
"It's not true, do you think I'm here to make you cough?"
"Brother Mazi, let's talk, let's talk, why do you want to go to the royal city?"
"Ah, my third aunt's comrade-in-arms' sister-in-law of Lianqiao is on an errand in the royal city, and she seems to be a maid beside a certain princess. People, I brought something to send it, you see it's not a curfew, I didn't deliver it! I always feel a little uncomfortable, but as soon as the sun gets better, I think of this stubble! ”
Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others is not in vain. Don't look at the horse sores look thin and withered, he is called big brother when he meets people, that is just his professionalism and industry norms, in fact, this kid is in his forties, and he has been asking for food in Tianyin City for more than 20 years, at least equivalent to the position of a researcher, and it is very likely that he is already a deputy inspector.
