"Don't talk about those false courtesies," he beckoned, "come and sit." ”

Ah, she forgot to say that the two catties of twist flowers were a thank you gift, but that was indeed a thank you gift, but now she suddenly felt very strange to hold it in her hand.

But Liu Bei saw that she wanted to send the twist flower forward, and she was hesitant, so she was immediately happy.

"The rice in this city is delicious!" He said, "How does Xiao Langjun know that I like this? ”

Hey, can she also feed a bag of twist flowers when she meets the third master on the road in the future?

Such a meeting is a bit less solemn.

But she didn't know what was going on, anyway, Liu Bei put away the map, she put the twist on it, and Liu Bei beckoned the little official to bring tea over, so now they began to chat while eating snacks and drinking tea.

Liu Bei didn't ask much about how she came to the plains from Chang'an, but he was very curious about how she was staying in the city, and he was willing to listen to her about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Although there is no prosperity of Chang'an, but in the troubled times, it is not easy to have such a pure land," she thought for a while and said, "But I heard that the people in the city have a lot of doubts about Ling Chang. ”

"How?"

"It is said that Ling Chang can't wear fancy clothes, and he can't support the style of being an official."

Liu Bei, who was breaking twists there, stopped, really looked down at his clothes, and then said in a slightly emotional tone, "I think so too, when I was young, my favorite thing was Chinese clothes, but I didn't expect that now that I am the commander of a city, I can't wear good clothes." ”

This is not easy to answer, but Liu Bei did not make it difficult for her to let her play a round to find steps, but divided a piece of the broken twist flower with her.

"But it doesn't matter if I'm dressed or not," he said with a smile, "and the walls of the plains are in disrepair, and I'll have to get the city in good shape first." ”

…… After he finished speaking, he began to eat twist flowers, and not in a very polite way of eating with a little in his mouth, but carefully stuffed a large piece into his mouth and chewed it with a clatter, so that this appearance made it impossible for her to associate him with the word "prince" anyway.

She should have asked something more important, "Is it for Plains City, or for himself?" ”

"Is there anything inconsistent between the two?" He finished chewing on the twist flower, picked up the teacup and began to drink.

"It may be the same now, but what about the future?" She said, "What if one day? ”

Liu Bei raised his eyes and glanced at her, and that relaxed and slightly lazy aura disappeared from him.

"I've been so laborious," he said, "that the day doesn't have to come." ”

It seemed that something was wrong, she thought, according to her vague memories, shouldn't Liu Bei say that he loves the people like a son?

[You can't think of an answer in your heart like this,] Black Blade said coldly, "Why don't you just ask him?" 】

"Shouldn't the commander tell the subordinates that they love the people like sons under their feet, and all this hard work is for the people?"

…… This kind of problem doesn't seem quite right.

She felt that a normal prince could not maintain a kind expression to answer the question, but she owed her mouth, low emotional intelligence, and low charm, so she still insisted on asking.

So Liu Bei looked at her with a "hehehehe" gaze for a while.

"If Yuan Benchu is coming to the city at this moment," he said, "it doesn't matter if he shouts a few words to boost the morale of everyone, why bother talking like this now?" ”

Before meeting, the young man looked dumbfounded, and Liu Bei smiled again.

"Now that I've been given the seal of the plains, I'll have to find a way to keep everyone alive, but I can't guarantee that everybody will live," he said, "so don't you have to wear old clothes first, and use all the money and food to strengthen the city's defenses?" ”

She thought for a moment, "Don't you want to calm the world?" ”

Liu Bei, who was holding the cup, thought about it again, "I don't understand the way of this world, I can't say what I can do, let's take one step at a time, but if you can still save it, try to save as many people as possible." ”

He sat there, holding his cup, looking at the courtyard that had not been cleaned up much, so he was trampled on a messy dirt road, and under the footprints along the way, there were weeds trying to grow in the sunlight that came out of the dark clouds.

"The general and many princes think differently."

"Xiao Langjun has seen many princes?"

“…… When I was in Luoyang and Chang'an, I also saw a little. ”

He turned his head and looked at her with a smile, "When the princes were begging for Dong, maybe they all had red blood, but this road just forked in the road." ”

“…… So, what about your path? ”

She asked cautiously, and now he stood up and turned his back to her, and poked his head out into the sunlight outside the curtain, and the light fell on his hair crown and shoulders, and fell from his back.

If this is really an assassin, maybe this is the right time to slash at it.

"I haven't gone my way yet, that's all I have to think," he thought for a moment, "and I have to take it step by step, and grope carefully." ”

The twist has almost eaten, the tea has been drunk, and the chatter is enough, and it is time to send off the guests after chatting.

So we still have to get down to business.

"I want to stay in the city," she said, "is there a shortage of men here?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei turned around and began to look her up and down, starting with her head, and then looking at her shoulders, arms, hands, and two legs.

In the end, the plain commander finally nodded, and said one word with great regret, "Okay." ”

So after about five minutes, the little official took her to a room that was not so bright.

A scribe who was born very young, not a few years older than her, and who was not much better dressed than her, and whose cloth was even patched with two patches, began to look her up and down, and finally nodded.

"I am the county magistrate here," he said, "and you have worked outside the city before, and the overseer has praised you, and I thought that a loyal and reliable man like you could also send out more important work." ”

…… More important work?

So the young county man looked at her very seriously, "How about fighting?" ”

"This ...... What is the salary? ”

Pay...... Not bad?! 1,000 yuan per month for short shifts, just in the first half of the night or the second half of the night, and 2,000 yuan per month for long shifts. Packing two clothes a season, two meals a day, and a business establishment, it is really annoying to work, walking around the city to see if there are any thieves, there are people sneaking out after the curfew.

Zhao Wu and the others were outside the mansion, and they were indeed a little suspicious.

In the end, the swordsman did not agree to the master's request, but only said that he could go to the county government to have a look, but the master happily agreed.

In the eyes of the master, Liu Bei's evil is clear at a glance, so even if Zhao Wu has a different opinion, he never dares to mention it to the master. But he is also occasionally confused, wondering if people's views on good and evil have changed due to their different positions.

Therefore, when he saw that the young man not only walked out of the county mansion with all his beards and tails, but also held two cloth clothes, Zhao Wu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, when the boy saw him, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Tell Liu Gong," he said, "I'll mess with Liu Bei first!" ”

Chapter 88

Liu Ping may need a little time to digest the unhappy news, but she is in a good mood.

Adhering to the mentality of a migrant worker who goes to work a day earlier and calculates his salary a day earlier, Lu Hangyu ran home to take a nap, and then came to the county government again after changing his clothes in the afternoon.

Before leaving, I thought about it, and I didn't forget to make a little transformation of the black blade in appearance, which is still a long wooden stick wrapped in black cloth. Considering that the job of fighting a shift also has the duty of warning, there is always a good reason to take a stick to defend yourself.

But when she returned to the room in the county mansion where the lighting conditions were not very good, the young county man looked at her left and right, especially at the stick behind her, with a puzzled expression.

"What is this?"

"Stick," she said, gesturing as she plucked it, "and if I meet a bad guy on the road, I can hit him with it." ”

So the county Cheng's face sank suddenly.

"You are only a husband, and you are not a soldier, how dare you make an assertion!" He reprimanded him unhappily, "If you encounter a thief, raise your voice to warn and wait for an opportunity to escape!" You are now only sixteen or seventeen years old, and you are not big enough, and you think that you can fight such a murderer with a stick, but do you not know that the heart of winning is the most likely to hurt yourself! ”

…… Abba Baba Aba, this person is obviously not a few years older than her, how did he develop such a chattering mouth.

Thinking so in her heart, her face also showed a little bit, and when the county Cheng saw her expression, her face immediately changed.

"You don't take my words seriously!"

"How is that possible!" She hurriedly denied it, "The villain just admires the young and promising ...... of the county"

The county Cheng gave her a cold look, "Put the stick down!" ”

…… Absolutely not!

"This stick is the villain's treasure," she said carefully, "and if the adults don't like it, the villain promises not to use it to win." ”

Xiancheng's two eyes widened and widened, and she was so frightened that she took a step back, and was thinking about whether to escape first, and when this guy calmed down in twenty minutes, someone came in.

A scribe in his thirties, with a chubby round face, looked very kind, which reminded her of Zhang Yan for no reason.

But this little round face is obviously more like to tell riddles and jokes than Zhang Jin, and when he came in, he turned around and said, "There is a judge and a cane, so the husband must have committed a crime, but did he record a confession?" ”

…… The county gentleman's eyes narrowed back again, and he pointed at her very uncomfortably, "I just asked the new husband to be careful, don't make your own decisions." ”

Xiao Yuan's face also looked at her a few times, still smiling, "Haven't you heard that the Song people hold long knives and Qi people carry short daggers, I think this wooden stick is very good, why should the country worry?" ”

So the county man was silent, looked her up and down a few more times, and waved his hand.

…… And so she came out.

It is usually played in groups of two, one with a gong or a golden watch, or a coke bucket or a pot, and the other with a bang or something, and walk in circles around the city at regular intervals. It's tiring and annoying, but it's pretty brainless, and most of the time it doesn't require her to be on high alert, so she can use a little spell, such as a "night vigil", to help her brain rest.

No matter where in the world, there are few rich people and many people without money, so when a bright moon climbs up, most of the thousands of households have already turned off the lights and candles, but they may not have washed and slept. Before passing through a very dilapidated residential area, the local colleague with the broken mouth had to add a few words when she explained the characteristics of each neighborhood.

"It sounds like a raccoon," he said, "not necessarily a raccoon." ”

“…… What is that? ”

"Like this," he whispered as he passed by the window of a house, raising his thumb, "this is not a raccoon dog." ”

I walked through a few more houses, "This one is not either." ”

When he got to the third house, the guy listened carefully, "This time." ”

“…… How is this it? ”

"There is a beautiful little widow living in this house," he whispered, "and I can make out her voice. ”

…………………… Day.

Although it is vulgar, it seems that the common people have this hobby, and considering the number of people who fell in the avalanche during the Three Kingdoms period, it seems that this hobby is not necessarily bad. Besides, after dark, light a lamp, make a pot of tea, read a book, and light a stove of incense...... There didn't seem to be anyone she knew who was at this level.

No, maybe someone has this hobby.

When they passed by a much more spacious mansion, their colleague pointed in awe and whispered to her, "This is the home of Liu Gong of 'Liu Bancheng', be careful when passing by." ”

"Why?"

"For example, if you want to relieve yourself, it's okay to go somewhere else, but you can't do it under the walls of his house, and you can't stay near his house for a long time." He reminded, "The slaves of the Liu family's family are three points more valuable than the officials of the county government. ”

She thought for a moment, "I'm going to relieve you, you go ahead first, I'll look for you when it's convenient." ”
