Chapter 734 Chapter 734: Before the storm (middle) [seeking a monthly ticket]
What are you looking at?
The attendant was not only vigilant, but also curious.
The belly of this servant is astonishingly huge, like a full-term woman who is pregnant. When I bent down and half knelt, my stomach almost touched the ground. The waiter frowned, worried that the other party's waist would be broken by the falling object. He asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Could it be that this servant is a girl?
The servant smiled bitterly and said: "Master, don't play tricks on your servants. Although your servants have been knifed and lost the men's things, they have not given birth to women's things. How can you conceive? Just wait for a while, this thing is tightly wrapped. Very easy to untie."
After finishing speaking, maintaining a half-kneeling posture, he struggled to untie the inner three outer layers of belts. With the last hand supporting his heavy belly, he threw the last piece of belt aside with the other hand. He panted lightly, and carefully held the thing on the ground with both hands.
The waiter heard a soft sound of an object falling to the ground.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a clay pot.
He wondered: "What is this?"
The servant replied in a low voice: "It's the bones of Duke Yan."
The waiter didn't remember who "Yan Gong" was for a while. After all, the whole court knew that Yan An's bones were chopped up and fed to dogs. Until he and the waiter looked at each other for a few moments, under the latter's expectant eyes, a bold idea sprouted in the waiter's mind, as if an electric current passed through his body, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, pointed at the clay pot, he couldn't believe it Whispering: "Yes, is it Yan Xingning?"
The waiter nodded: "It is Yangong."
The waiter looked up and looked around in fright, and hurriedly closed the door, fastened the bolt, then hurriedly turned back, grabbed the waiter's arm and hurriedly asked: "Isn't Xingning's body already fed... to those little beasts? Why is it here?" here?"
The servant explained timidly: "The servant is on duty in the cat and dog room, and I can't bear to be treated like this with the bones of the Lord Yan, let alone being eaten by the little beasts in the cat and dog room. I don’t like human flesh, so I decided to throw the bones of Duke Yan into the furnace and burn them... Although this action will not leave the whole body, but if the tyrant pursues it, he can use animal bones instead..."
It is better to keep a whole body ashes than to feed cats and dogs.
The waiter looked at the waiter anxiously, not sure whether the latter was happy or angry, for fear that the other party would violently kill him. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued under the encouragement of a lonely courage: "Yangong treats slaves with kindness. If it hadn't been for Yangong's insistence back then, I don't know how many people would have died in the snow disaster in those two years. There is no chance for slaves to cut their roots and enter the palace to seek revenge." Alive..."
Although he is an eunuch, he also knows how to repay his kindness.
The temporary palace didn't take them seriously, eunuchs like them. When he accidentally learned that the servant had been released, he boldly came out.
The waiter murmured: "You guys are so bold!"
Keep Yan'an's bones under Zheng Qiao's eyes.
It was something he didn't even dare to think about.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
When Yan An assassinated Zheng Qiao, the anger was at its peak at that time. Once Zheng Qiao knew what these servants had done, the maggots in the ancestral grave would be caught and chopped up.
The servant whispered: "If you die, you will die."
"Well, there is no need to be so self-deprecating. Who is not born with two arms, two legs and one head? Once cornered, they will be killed with a single knife." Although the attendant came from a noble family, the situation in the Northwest Continent was chaotic. Unbearable, the so-called aristocratic family also means that it will be destroyed when it is destroyed. Once it comes and goes, it also loses the inherent arrogance of the aristocratic family.
The integrity of the servant in front of me is also worthy of admiration.
When the servant heard the words, he burst into tears of gratitude, and made a salute: "Please waiter, find a quiet place with good geomantic omen, so that Lord Yan can rest in peace.
"Your request, I'm afraid I can't do it..." The servant's face turned completely pale when he heard the words, and then he listened to the middle servant, "Because Xingning still has blood relatives alive, don't worry, I will personally take care of his bones into the hands of his widow."
The servant's mood fluctuated greatly, and he almost died of fright.
But when he heard that Yan'an's blood relatives were still alive, he was overjoyed.
Another big gift: "Okay, okay, so the servant will be at ease. Slave Yanyan, thank the servant on behalf of Lord Yan!"
After finishing speaking, he was going to go back in the dark.
The waiter hurriedly stopped him: "What are you going back for?"
It's better to follow their family and leave the place of right and wrong. Such a kind servant, shouldn't he be more alive than Zheng Qiao?
The servant declined the servant's invitation, and said in a low voice: "The servant can come out thanks to the help of a few colleagues who helped to cover it. If you don't go back when the time comes, you may implicate them. The servant does not need to worry about the servant, right and wrong are fate... "
Looking at the little waiter, the waiter was momentarily dumbfounded.
The servant came to the door and stopped, turned around and saluted the servant sincerely: "I wish the servant a long-term prosperity in this trip."
The waiter looked at the little waiter and returned the gift.
The little servant came and went quietly.
After a while, the hidden wife came out, looked at the clay pot brought by the servant, and asked her husband with her eyes.
The waiter looked like he was alive after a catastrophe.
said: "There is no danger, let's continue to clean up."
Finally, the family left this land of right and wrong that was about to be engulfed by the flames of war through the morning mist before the sky broke.
To go to Longwu County, you must cross the river first, and then pass through Chaoli Pass in Yanzhou. At this time, Yanzhou is in the hands of the coalition forces of the Dragon Tuning Bureau, and most of the coalition forces are high-ranking warlords who support their own troops from all over the country, and a few of them are also ruthless people who climbed up from the bottom. The servant is an official in the court, so he knows the urine nature of this group of people very well. He didn't want to escape from the tiger's den of Zheng Qiao and fall into the wolf's den of these ruthless people.
Mrs. Attendant suggested that she could take a detour to her natal home to avoid disaster, and then make plans after Zheng Qiao and the others decide the outcome of the war.
She doesn't really want to go to Longwu County.
Firstly, it's remote and barbaric, with rampant alien races, so it's not a good place to go; secondly, the whole family can't afford to travel long distances. From this place to Longwu, they will face many troubles along the way, such as bandits, military disasters, and wild animals. be able to stand?
As for the broken sword and the bones of Yan'an...
It’s not too late to send it off when everything is calm.
Naihe is not the one who makes up her mind.
The waiter thought for a while, and ordered the coachman to turn to the direction of Cunshan. He was going to arrive before Zheng Qiao sent troops and horses.
The servant's wife turned pale when she heard the words, and said: "Didn't the Lord just say that the gang from the Dragon Slaying Bureau are a wolf's den? Since they are wolf's dens, they must be avoided early. Why did the Lord cast himself into the trap?"
Didn’t Lord Lang say that Cun Shan was cheated away?
Madam lives in the backyard of the inner house, so naturally she doesn't know the situation outside, so the waiter patiently analyzed with her: "Madam doesn't know, the mastermind of defrauding Cunshan is Shen Youli, governor of Longwu County. Shen Youli has counselor Kang Jishou under Shen Youli's tent, Kang Jishou and Xingning is also a close friend. Therefore, it should be Xingning's intention for Ning Yan to go to Longwu County."
Madam nodded thoughtfully: "Master, can we find this Governor Shen and entrust Xingning's ashes and Zheng Qiao's broken sword to Kang Jishou, and he will hand them over to Tunan?"
Save yourself the trouble of going to Longwu County in person?
The waiter said: "Madam only guessed half right."
Mrs. asked him: "What is the other half?"
The waiter lowered his eyes to hide the shrewd calculations in his eyes, and said: "Once Zheng Qiao is defeated and killed, all forces will inevitably compete around Qianzhou, Yanzhou, Lingzhou and other places, and then start a war. If you don't take refuge in one side to seek asylum , I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Mrs. said with a sad face: "Isn't it okay to live in seclusion?"
The waiter forced a smile on his face: "How can it be so easy?"
The word "living in seclusion" sounds comfortable and comfortable. If there is no support from the family, those days will be miserable, and you have to do everything by yourself. How can a lady who has never done hard work get used to it? It would be better if you have family support, but in this world, it is said that wealth is not revealed, wealth is not revealed, soldiers are like a grate, and bandits are like a comb.
Either find a stable place.
Either find a reliable backer.
The waiter chose to go to Cunshan, but he actually had two thoughts. If Shen Tang is capable, he can use the pretext of taking the risk of sending back Yan'an's bones to make friends with Kang Jishou, gain a firm foothold, and then plot slowly. If Shen Tang's strength is not enough, he will use the way to go elsewhere after returning Yan'an's bones. With Kang Jishou escorting them, the servants' family can safely pass through Cunshan...
The coalition forces of the Dragon Slaying Bureau will not attack him.
The waiter hid all these thoughts in his stomach.
As long as they have not entered the sphere of influence of Cunshan, the family of servants dare not relax their nerves. Zheng Qiao is a lunatic, and it's normal for a lunatic to backtrack. Fortunately, although there were accidents along the way, they all passed without any danger. After several days in a row, the waiter finally saw a shadow standing behind the morning mist, like a quiet giant lying on the ground to rest.
"Stop, who's in front of you?"
Before the group arrived at Cunshan City, they were intercepted by a group of patrolling soldiers, led by a young team leader with a very feminine appearance. The two sides are separated by thirty or forty feet, looking at each other from a distance. The waiter comforted his wife and children, opened the curtain of the car, and bent out.
"When I was in Kangshi, Kang Jishou's old friend came here specially because of the disaster at home." The attendant clasped his hands and said.
The waiter did not mention Ning Yan's name.
In his opinion, Ning Yan is a "confidant widow" who defected to Kang Shi. How would the soldiers and horses under Shen Tang's tent know about the personal contacts of his military adviser? So he directly mentioned Kang Shi's name.
The patrol leader really knew Kang Shi, and when he heard this, his vigilance became less vigilant: "Are you an old friend of Army Division Kang?"
The waiter said: "Exactly."
For some reason, the young team had a weird expression on their face.
As the saying goes, "Things of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups", the old friend who came to join Kang Junshi... Bao Buqi is just like Kang Junshi. This has been verified from the circle of friends in the prayer book. She muttered in her heart, but she couldn't neglect the other party in her actions.
"So, sir, please follow me."
The waiter was very kind, and ordered the guards to hand over their weapons.
The main feature is sincerity!
Zhao Wei nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.
The waiter asked Zhao Wei about Kang Shi's whereabouts. He thought Kang Shi was still in Cunshan City, but was told that Kang Shi was still in the base camp.
This result exceeded the servant's plan, and his face was slightly troubled.
He asked: "Why didn't Kang Jishou join the army?"
Shen Tang's team is sloppy, with complicated members. The waiter expected that with Kang Jishou's background and talent, it was unlikely that he would be ignored.
But after he asked, he regretted that he was quick to speak. This question was more serious than spying on the military. Fortunately, Zhao Wei didn't care about it, because the scribe in front of him was brought by his family. How dare he have any bad intentions, and won't he be taken over by the same pot?
"Mr. Kang, he...is inconvenient..."
Zhao Wei answered vaguely.
Since she is an old friend of Junshi Kang, it is unreasonable not to know the way of the other party's scribes. She hinted a few words, and she understood everything.
But the waiter really doesn't understand.
But this does not prevent him from making the logic self-consistent through brain supplementation.
Not long after, a group of people came to the foot of Cunshan City.
The waiter looked up at the majestic city wall that seemed to cover the sky and the sun, and then thought about Zheng Qiao's hard work in this city defense, the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he was a bit gloating.
Zheng Qiao, you should!
"Open the city gate!"
Zhao Wei finished contacting the guards on the city, and the city gate creaked, and a gap was opened to allow the carriage to pass.
Entering the city, the servant's hanging heart fell to the ground, which meant that their family had truly escaped Zheng Qiao's threat.
Zhao Wei arranged a temporary shelter for her.
"Sir, would you like to meet my lord?"
Although this person is using the banner of defecting to his old friend Kangshi, but Army Division Kang is not here at the moment, so it is impossible to tell the truth from the falsehood. Zhao Wei also can't allow people whose identities have not been verified to walk around in the city at will, so it is necessary to take him to meet the lord for a while.
The servant said gratefully: "I can't ask for it."
Zhao Wei told them to wait in the small courtyard and wait for the transmission.
I went to report to Shen Tang.
As soon as Kang Shi's friend came to join him, Shen Tang trembled subconsciously: "Can Dawei find out about his scribes?"
Zhao Wei was almost speechless.
"There is no question under the mark..."
Not every literary scholar has the way of a scholar.
Shen Tang rubbed his temples with a headache, and said, "Oh, it's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided... Let him come."
I hope Ji Shou's circle of friends is more reliable than Yuan Liang's.
Shen Tang sent someone to invite the waiter, the waiter took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes and appearance, and strode out of the small courtyard. It's just that before he walked halfway, he happened to see an extremely familiar side face, and his right ankle almost staggered and sprained.
He barely stabilized his figure, which is not ashamed.
But the action still attracted the attention of others.
Among them are Ning Yan and Ning Tunan.
Ning Yan looked at him, and he looked at Ning Yan, speechless.
The waiter opened his mouth after a while: "You, are you Tunan?"
Ning Yan frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
It is a good thing to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign land, but the joy of this old acquaintance working under the enemy will be compromised.
Ning Yan and Shizhong mainly met when they were teenagers in school. After they got married, they seldom contacted each other. The occasional meeting was also a relationship between the two families. Ning Yan didn't know much about the waiter.
But in Xing Ning's mouth, it is barely decent.
Well, compared to Zheng Qiao.
Unexpectedly, the waiter stared blankly at the Wenxin monogram hanging on Ning Yan's waist, and the literary spirit overflowing from her body. After a while, he pointed at Ning Yan with trembling fingers, and said surprisingly: "Ning, Ning Tunan... You, you, you are actually a man!"
Ning Yan: "..."
The waiter looked at her stomach again.
He clearly remembered that Ning Yan was pregnant.
"How can a man, a man get pregnant?"
What did his two classmates do behind his back!
Ning Yan rested her finger on the sword grid, sheathed her sword a little, and said calmly: "My surname is Xie, don't talk too much!"
