Chapter 275: Full of Sincerity and Dedication to the Water of the East (I)
This feeling is very faint, so faint that it is easy to ignore it, and even think it is an illusion.
But, with his ability, even if it's an illusion, he has to take it as if it's true!
With a smile on his face, Xu Ming stepped forward, stood three steps away, and said with a salute: "I'm really sorry, the chef of the inn has left, and today's signature dish has been sold out." ”
Hearing this, the man smiled, smiled honestly, waved his hand again, and said: "Alas, it's okay, don't eat any signature dishes, just have a hot mouth, besides, come at this time, I live in the hotel." ”
"Staying in the hotel?" Xu Ming was surprised, the man bowed slightly, and had already walked into the store, and sat down on the wooden bench with a piece of clothes.
It's rare, but no one has come to stay in the hotel for too long, first there is the woman, and then there is such a person, Xu Ming thought to himself, but he said: "There is hot soup and rice, and I invite the guest to wait." ”
Removing the small burden behind his back and placing it on the table, the man sat at the table and looked up at the inn environment.
Such a remote place, such a dilapidated small shop environment, in line with his expectations, is just looking for such a store to live in.
Daedeok-gun is not a good place, but a place to gather, although the county town is self-reliant, but there is a turbulent undercurrent inside.
For example, when he hid in the cabin before, he saw a big battle, in which the internal strength of the two was mediocre, but they had their own origins.
Even if he stays in this Dade County, he is careful and careful. Hurry up and fix it, and when you're done with one more thing, you can continue on your way.
If it weren't for the favor he owed at the beginning, where would he have received such a hot potato.
The conversation between the two in the lobby did not deliberately avoid others, and the normal conversation, Miss Pei naturally heard outsiders, quietly pushed open the door, opened a gap, and looked downstairs into the lobby.
Seeing that it was just a man who was not good-looking, she closed the door and did not look at it more, and those who had nothing to do with her did not need to be too curious.
Continuing to stay in the house, Miss Pei sat at the table with her cheeks crossed, she was still dressed as a man at the moment, and if such a posture was looked at by outsiders, she would really feel a little disgusted.
It is precisely because of this that whenever Miss Pei can't do anything about Liu Yuan, she will use her current dress to make some little daughter posture, and Liu Yuan, who is disgusted, has goosebumps all over her body.
At this moment, Miss Pei's eyes were smart, pondering her troubled plans.
Of course, the word troubled times is what she thinks she thinks, and after making Dade County chaotic, Miss Pei, who tasted a little sweetness, is thinking about what she should do next.
I don't know what she thought of, Miss Pei smiled at the corner of her mouth, turned back to her senses, and frowned when she saw that she was dressed now.
It's all Liu Yuan's orders, she has always been like this, and she can't leave at will, and the life under the fence is not easy, but now she has to send this fence.
Bear with it for the time being, and sooner or later get back all the advantages from the surnamed Liu.
After a while, the aroma of food came from the kitchen, and when the wooden door was opened, Xu Ming walked out with a tray in his hand and put it in front of the table: "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”
The steaming steamed buns and a bowl of white porridge, the man thanked him, picked up the steamed buns with one hand and ate the bowl with the other.
Seeing that the other party had almost eaten, Xu Ming sat down opposite the man and asked, "I don't know where the guest officer is coming from and where is he going?"
"From the east, go west. The man swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns and replied without raising his head.
Asking the people who come to stay is something that every inn does.
"Oh, but the waterway?" Xu Ming asked again.
The man shook his head: "No, a carriage." "The obvious man didn't tell the truth.
"The carriage and horses are tired, and the guest officer is resting. Xu Ming didn't care how the other party came, and after walking to the counter, he counted the accounts of the past few days.
There were no guests before, so the account was easy to calculate, and the guests who came in the past few days were miscellaneous, and Xu Ming was dizzy to see.
After eating a full meal, the man picked up his burden and stood up and asked, "Shopkeeper, where do I live?"
"Oh, there's a second floor, please. Xu Ming dropped the account book, led the man upstairs, stood on the corridor on the second floor, and suddenly didn't know what he thought, and led the man to live next door to Miss Pei's house.
Before turning around, Xu Ming looked at the man again and reminded: "The guest officer doesn't know, Dade County has not been peaceful recently, and there are assassins who dare to assassinate the general have not been caught, so it's good not to go out if you can." ”
"Understood. ”
Walking on the way back to Hutong Lane, Liu Yuan deliberately slowed down.
Things always have to be faced, and he regretted a little at this time that he didn't ask about the situation that day, so he let Lei Xiaoxiao leave so easily.
Cheats, cheats, Liu Yuan chewed these two words back and forth in his heart, could it be that there was a cheat hidden in the dart he lost at the beginning?
What kind of cheats can it be, in order to have a five-star difficulty, walking on the road Liu Yuan's face was wrinkled into a bitter melon, could it be that it flowed out of the palace, thinking of this, Liu Yuan was suddenly startled and paused.
Or is he thinking wrong? This cheat has another way.
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, Liu Yuan simply gave up, he remembered asking the cabin before.
The latter told him that whether he wanted to or not, the trial task would come to him by himself, so just wait for him to come to the door by himself, he just needs to desperately improve his strength before then.
The only thing I am afraid of is that there is not much time left for him.
When he returned to the inn, Liu Yuan happened to see the trays and leftovers on the table that he hadn't had time to pick up, and looked at Xu Ming with a raised brow and asked, "Hey, it's rare, there are guests in the afternoon?"
"Ah, yes. Xu Ming nodded and pointed upstairs again: "Not only to eat, but also to stay overnight." ”
"Rare. Liu Yuan also sighed.
As the two were talking, the sound of pushing the door sounded, it was not Miss Pei, it was the man, the man leaned on the door railing and looked at Xu Ming and asked, "The shopkeeper, I asked you about something." ”
You say. ”
There were more people in the hall, and the man didn't care, and still asked, "Do you know how to get to Yiyang Long Street, the shopkeeper?"
"This is Hutong Lane, which is Hutong Lane, turn east from Hutong Lane and turn Xiaoyang Street, and then go straight about 100 zhang to turn west to have a road, which is Yiyang Long Street. Xu Ming thought for a while and replied seriously.
"I see. The man nodded and went back to the house, but in the blink of an eye he walked out of the door again, with a burden on his back, and hurried downstairs.
When he walked to the door of the house, the man turned back and said, "I will go out for a while, and I will still go back to the inn to stay at night, I can give the money, and you have to keep the house for me." ”
"The guest officer is joking, do you think my little broken shop will be overcrowded?" Xu Ming smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said: "Be more careful on the guest officer's road." ”
After saying that, the man had already walked out of the house, carried his baggage and left Hutong Lane in the opposite direction.
"Another weirdo. Looking at the direction of the door, thinking of the appearance of the person in front of him carrying a burden, Liu Yuan shook his head and sighed.
"Not really. Xu Ming nodded sympathetically and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't take my reminder to heart." ”
"What kind of reminder?" Liu Yuan asked curiously, and then Xu Ming told Liu Yuan about the situation before and after this person's arrival, which caused Liu Yuan's expression to look at him again, and then asked, "He said that he came from the east and wanted to go west?"
"Exactly. Xu Ming clasped his hands in front of him and bowed slightly.
In the west, Liu Yuan didn't forget where the west was, his eyes narrowed and he said, "If that person comes back again, Lao Xu, you should quickly sue me." ”
"Okay. ”
After speaking, Liu Yuan had already walked towards the backyard, he vaguely felt that he was not far from the fourth style of the mountain knife, if he could succeed before the task arrived, he would be more sure.
After Liu Yuan left, until dusk, when it was time for dinner, the man had not returned.
During the period, a few customers came here and there, wanting to pick up a leak to see if they could eat one or two signature dishes, of course it didn't work, and was directly rejected by Xu Ming.
At the same time, Commander Xu, who was in a hurry along the way, and didn't even care about his injuries, was about to see the Kyoto Castle.
Still walking far away on the official road, Commander Xu's body staggered, and he stumbled directly under the horse.
He was grabbed by a soldier riding a horse with him behind him and said, "My lord, my lord, how are you?" ”
Looking at Commander Xu's face again, it was as white as a grimace, his lips had lost six points of blood, and his obvious injuries had not healed and had recurred.
"Quick, help me get off the horse. Commander Xu said with trembling lips and a very weak voice, his voice as small as a mosquito's groan.
Hearing that the soldier did not dare to delay, he hurriedly helped him dismount, it is important to send Dan to His Majesty, and of course his own life is also important, Xu Qingliang hurriedly sat down cross-legged, mobilized his internal breath and began to recuperate.
As the saying goes, if you miss a thousand miles, this Dan is one step late, and it may be a thousand steps late, or even forever
It was about two days ago, at dawn.
Shengtian Kyoto City, red lacquered beams and pillars glazed tiles, gold stone bridges and jade lock doors, a magnificent and magnificent palace in the interior. In addition to the East Palace where the prince lives, there is also a Huangyang Palace, which is the residence of the three princes.
Since that day the stigma and the remnants of the rivers and lakes with ulterior motives were dragged out, the three princes lived in the palace and never left the palace gate again.
At this moment, in the Huangyang Palace, a man in a brocade robe with red and gold silk threads and a four-clawed golden dragon robe embroidered sat on a chair made of big mahogany, with a strange stone and yellow tiger figure on his back, and a little timidity could be vaguely seen in front of his eyebrows.
According to the rules of the Great Wei, only the saint can wear a five-clawed golden dragon robe, the prince wears a four-clawed white dragon robe, the prince wears a four-clawed golden dragon robe, and the rest of the princes wear a green python robe.
Since it is in the Huangyang Palace, and he is wearing a dragon robe, he is naturally the third prince.
A middle-aged man dressed in black with a white crane embroidered on his chin touched a handful of long beards under his chin, stood in front of the third prince, and said in a deep voice: "Well, every move is almost the same, only this meal and sleeping and other small details and habits are still a little different." "It was the envoy of Huangyang Palace who spoke.
"I have done my best. The third prince said boldly.
The elder envoy frowned and did not answer, and there was a half-white, aged man standing beside him and said: "These are just small details, it is enough to deal with them, but this temperament alone is a little worse." ”
The voice was old, but it was the envoy of Huangyang Palace, and the three most powerful people in this Huangyang Palace were here at the moment.
Hearing this, the third prince couldn't help but sit forward, trying his best to straighten his waist.
"Alas, it's over again, that kind of calm and calm bearing, horizontal and vertical. The old man shook his head and said.
"That's it. The envoy waved his hand, paced back and forth a few steps, and then walked back in front of the third prince, staring at him with eyes like a reckoning and said: "The life is in your own hands, the slightest mistake is a catastrophe, you can do it yourself." ”
"Alright, there was nothing wrong before, and it shouldn't go wrong in the end. The old man said good things at this moment, "Besides, the time should be about the same." ”
"It's almost the same, it's almost just the same! The Third Highness had a lantern line at the beginning, and all the efforts before and after were all in vain with the rebellion of Nachai Tingshan, and the impact of Dade County's self-reliance and other things became a busy job, only the two roads between the Ganji River still had a little spare strength. For some reason, the envoy suddenly shouted loudly.
The old man didn't have anything, just frowned: "The rest is easy to say, but it's a pity that Dade County, a good county garrison, was stabbed to death in his own home like this, who do you say this is reasonable." ”
After that, the whole room was full of the old man's broken thoughts, and it was a pity to turn it over and over again.
When the sun completely leaps into the sky and the rooster crows three times, it is the morning of the day.
Zhou Zhengzhong, who had been bedridden because of a serious illness, walked into the Golden Palace with trembling steps.
No matter who looked at Ge Lao's current appearance, they all stepped forward to help, but they were pushed away by Zhou Ge Lao's stretched out a pair of dead bark-like palms.
Step by step, he walked to the position of the head of the civil officials and stood upright.
Originally, there were only some gray hairs on the head, but now they are all gray, and it is difficult to see a single black thread.
One step later than the hundred officials, the emperor who walked into the Golden Palace was also surprised by the arrival of Lord Zhou for a while, and just sat down on the dragon chair and waved his hand: "Come on, don't give the pavilion a seat soon." ”
A few days ago, the imperial doctor informed him that Zhou Ge was sick and was afraid that it would be difficult to cure, so he simply allowed Zhou Ge to recuperate at home, and planned to take time to visit him in the near future, not wanting him to come today.
"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty. ”
"No need to be polite. "Don't be in a hurry to talk about the court, the saint looked at the elder with concern and said, "Is the elder better?"
"In the eventful autumn of Dawei, the saint is worried about all kinds of things, and I also ask you to remember the illness of the ministers, and the mistakes of the ministers. ”
The saint who heard this frowned slightly, and asked indifferently, "I don't know what happened to the old Zhou Ge Dynasty?"
"Wechen came, two things. Zhou Ge Lao sat on the chair and leaned forward slightly as he spoke.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"First, the minister implored His Majesty to take back the garrison of Taiqing Mountain, immediately tear off the matter of the palace of the Son of Heaven, and remove the name of Chu Muqing, the lord of Taiqing Mountain. ”
Without waiting for the emperor to reply, Zhou Ge Lao immediately said: "Second, the minister implores His Majesty to posthumously order Lord Shangshu Ye of the Military Department to be the marshal of the soldiers and horses of the grassland and transfer back to the commander of the forbidden army. ”
"The elder of the pavilion has not healed, he has not thought well, his words are inappropriate, I only have never happened today, come and escort the elder of the pavilion back to rest. ”
Before the saint finished speaking, the elder stood up with the armrest, and looked at His Majesty with burning eyes.
He said in a deep voice: "Minister, death." ”
