Chapter 265: Clearing
Zhao Tao excused himself for a stomachache, he walked with a limp, Xianghua pretended to be his sister and helped him to the side to rest, and the rest of the people were complaining, and they didn't have time to look at them carefully.
Zhao Tao pretended to rub his stomach while whispering to Xianghua: "Is there a way to see those two pictures?" β
Xianghua said: "The two of us can't go over for the time being, and it's not safe to buy other people, there may be only one way." β
Xianghua approached Zhao Tao's ear and whispered, Zhao Tao's eyes lit up, and said, "That's it." β
The people who investigated also stood for more than half an hour, and their ears were still full of complaints from people in a hurry, and they became a little impatient after a long time, and they became more and more perfunctory.
A gust of wind blew, and a fat officer and soldier smelled the smell of rot and asked the others, "What does this smell like?" β
Another officer and soldier said: "This is the dock, what else can it smell like?" The smell of dead fish. β
"Damn, it's so smoked that Lao Tzu is going to vomit out of his overnight meal."
"Say less and watch quickly. At night, there are more wild cats here, so there is still something to bear. β
The two of them cheered up and continued to investigate.
But at this moment, a group of wild cats came out of nowhere, led by a black cat, and approached the group of officers and soldiers.
The fat officer didn't like cats, so he said to the others: "We don't have any rats here, these wild cats are crazy, what are you going to do here?" β
The rest of the officers and soldiers also looked at each other and waved impatiently to rush away.
Wild cats are also afraid of people, and when they are driven away, they scatter, but as soon as no one notices, they surround them again. Three or four times like this, the officers and soldiers also muttered in their hearts - this group of wild cats is too abnormal.
Some people who are in a hurry have already had resentment in their hearts, so they deliberately said nonsense at this time: "Brother Cha, they all say that black cats are the most spiritual, they always come to you, don't have anything bad, right?" β
"Phew!" The fat officer almost spat out, "It's just a bunch of cats, what can it beβouch!" His grandma's! β
As the fat official was saying this, the black cat led by him suddenly pounced on him, he was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the portrait in his hand fell to the ground, and he was taken away by several wild cats in the blink of an eye.
"Dogs!" The fat officer was so angry that the fat on his chin was shaking.
When the people saw this, they all burst into laughter and said, "Don't scold, be careful and they will come back to you!" β
Xianghua and Zhao Tao had already hid away from the crowd, and the black cat brought the portrait to Xianghua, and Xianghua reached out and touched its chin, and the black cat purred and enjoyed it very much.
Zhao Tao also had a little itchy hand when he saw this, but as soon as he raised his hand, the black cat turned his head and grinned at him, revealing a fierce face.
He picked up the portrait and looked at it carefully, almost laughing: "Who is this painting?" β
Xianghua also tilted her head to take a look, there were two men and women in the previous portrait, but their faces were far from the two of them - Zhao Tao was originally polite, and for some reason he painted two eyebrows with five big and three thick, Xianghua's facial features were exquisite, but he had a big thick lip.
"It's amazing that they can recognize us with this portrait." Xianghua asked Zhao Tao, "Lord Zhao, can these portraits be painted by anyone casually?" β
Zhao Tao smiled: "No, no, no." These portraits, especially the portraits of wanted criminals, need to be interrogated, and Wang Rong has never seen the world again, and he knows the process here. However, this time the incident happened suddenly, Wang Rong probably didn't care about it, these portraits are also painted one by one, and there are also some who have been copied to the back and gone out of shape. β
Xianghua nodded: "Although they may not recognize it in this way, we are still cautious." β
She was looking around for something like yellow mud, and found that the cat was black with both hands, and then looked at the black cat just now, and the back of the black cat had revealed the true color of black flowers on a white background.
The two looked at each other and smiled, grabbed the "black cat" and rubbed it. After a while, the "black cat" had been stripped of its color, and two more black-and-gray refugees came out in place.
Xianghua and Zhao Tao followed the people in line and walked forward, and finally it was their turn.
"Raise your head!" The fat official snorted.
Zhao Tao and Xianghua brushed their heads together.
Several officials frowned when they saw the appearance of the two of them, and asked with disgust: "Why do you two look like this?" Where did it come from? β
The people in the lead didn't interrogate, Zhao Tao wanted to make up a lie, and the people behind shouted: "Brother Cha, you ask two more questions, the boatmen are all resting, how can we cross the river?" Hurry up! β
The fat officer drank impatiently twice, and asked briefly, "Are you from the north?" β
Where the north was, he didn't say. But Zhao Tao and Xianghua immediately understood that now that the capital is in turmoil, many people have escaped temporarily in order to escape, and this official obviously thinks that they have fled.
Zhao Tao was stunned and pretended to have a strange accent: "This big brother, we are from Qianzhou, you can do it, let's go over." β
The fat official and a few people around him exchanged glances, and Xianghua was worried that she might have extraneous branches, so she saw that the fat official moved his fat body and made way for the two of them.
Zhao Tao and Xianghua hurriedly thanked each other.
The two walked for a long time to the dock, and Xianghuacai whispered to Zhao Tao what was going on with Fang Cai's accent.
Zhao Tao whispered: "My wife is from Qianzhou, and I have learned a few words over time." Although Qianzhou is close to Pennsylvania, it is much worse than here, and this will be a mess, and it will suffer a big disaster. β
Xianghua nodded slightly, and the two of them helped each other to walk to the side of the boat on the dock, only then did they see that the people on the boat were also waiting in line, and there was an official with a knife on his waist on the side of each boat to check one by one.
With Fang Cai's experience, Zhao Tao had already put most of his heart at ease, and was about to take a step, but was gently pulled by Xianghua.
"Lord Zhao, who do you think is that?"
Zhao Tao's hair was scattered, and when he heard the words, he picked up a lock of hair and looked at it, and he was shocked into a cold sweat - it was none other than one of the soldiers guarding Zhao Tao!
They are now dressed differently from ordinary people, and it is easy to be noticed, as long as these soldiers pay more attention, it is not difficult to recognize the two of them.
There are seven or eight boats along the dockside. There is also a soldier guarding Xianghua, and although the rest are not in charge of guarding, they have also met with Xianghua and Zhao Tao several times before, which is different from the officials of Fang Cai.
The two deliberately limped, delaying time to find a way, Xianghua looked around, and finally saw a small boat on the very edge, there was also an official there, but looking at the face.
Zhao Da...... Brother, have you seen that person? β
