Chapter 225: Strange Woman
The good equipment of the Guards Legion has basically been divided up by the Third Legion and the Eighth Legion, and there are no cars left. The cars purchased from the old Seventh Legion are far from enough to fill the equipment gap of the new Seventh Legion.
Lin Zhongsheng said that Wen Xiangwu is actively contacting the American car merchants. If the negotiations go smoothly, the new Seventh Corps can buy enough cars and restore the Guards level transportation capacity.
When talking about this, Lin Zhongsheng couldn't help but sigh that Daxian was still too backward compared to Western countries. Although we can produce cars, our cars are not as good as Western cars. Not only are the cost high, the output is still low, and the failure rate is high. Except for the army that has always lacked cars, almost no one cares about cars produced in our country.
But now I am so flawless that I lament for domestic cars.
"Uh, Master Gun... So, don't you want to be the prince consort?"
Maybe I didn't express the matter clearly. After listening to my explanation about today's news, the old farmer said this.
"It's not a question of whether you want to be a question... I mean... Oh! Let's say that! This shouldn't be the case at all!"
"Shouldn't this be the case?" The old farmer showed a confused expression. "Master Gun, you know I'm illiterate. When I was on duty, everyone around me was talking about this. I heard from them that you and that princess were childhood sweethearts, both young and had slept on the same kang and used the same urinary pot. Are these fakes?"
"Of course it's fake!"
The people's inaction made me a little angry, so I subconsciously took a photo of the coffee table.
"If I knew the princess, how could I not show off to others! Have you ever listened to me showing off?"
"Oh, this is not accurate." The old farmer smiled obscenely, "You, Master Gun, have a big fist in your heart, and you can hide anything. If you don't say anything else, just say the deputy company commander - ah bah! Just say Si Congpo's two mistresses, you got them silently, and made them completely green and abducted them away. Have you ever shown this to me? Ah?
Now that the matter has been broken, everyone knows it, I only know - hey hey! Gun Master, don’t be excited! Don’t be excited! Didn’t I say you hide it from me, and I don’t blame you! Everyone has little secrets!
I heard from my mother that when you were a child, you were not idle all day long and ran around, and maybe you would run down the wall of the imperial city wall and hug the princess or something - hehe! You are just a hypocritical person! If you like it, just like it! If you do it, just do it! If you hide it! Look at me, I won’t hide it! Every time I go and have fun, I will show off to others when I come back! Hehe!
Alas! Master Gun, it’s time to do this, so let’s not hide it, just talk? I’m so old, let alone a princess, I haven’t even seen a princess. Just think that I have a long experience and tell me what the princess looks like?”
When I was a child, I did go to the Imperial City, but I never went to the bottom of the wall of the Imperial City. Because there is a moat outside the Imperial City, it must be seven or eight meters wide, and I don’t know how much depth is. Anyway, it looks quite deep. There are suspension bridges on the moat, and only the suspension bridges at the west gate and the south gate are usually placed down, and the imperial city guards are guarding them by the bridge.
There are sentry towers on the river bank on the side of the imperial city. I don’t know how many of them are. There are quite a lot of them anyway and the towers are quite high. The sentry towers are used to monitor the moat. Anyone who wants to go down the moat will be shot dead by the imperial guards on the sentry tower.
When the Reform Party and the Imperial City Health Office clashed with the Imperial City Health Office, the Imperial City Guards could not resist and could only put away the suspension bridge. I heard that after that, the Reform Party wanted to swim across the river, and many people were beaten to death in the river, and the river water was dyed red. Because there were too many people who died, people were afraid, the Reform Party retreated. However, this trick was not good for the regular army, otherwise the Guards would not have been able to attack the Imperial City.
Ordinary people can only look at the imperial city on the other side of the river. It will not work after watching it for a long time. Once they have stood for a long time, or have been swaying by the river for a long time, the imperial city guards on the mail tower will shout to you, "Go away and be safe!" If they shout three times and the person doesn't leave, they will shoot.
Under such precautions, even a killer of the level of Red could not sneak into the imperial city in broad daylight. Even she could not do it, and I was a little kid before, even more so. So, it was impossible for me to run to the base of the imperial city wall to hug the princess.
"Although I have never seen the princess, I have seen the rich lady."
After explaining to the two, I followed the topic and talked about my childhood experiences.
"That's not an ordinary rich lady, she gives people a special feeling. She speaks weirdly, has weird tone, uses weird words, and has even weird accents. She must be not a local. Hong Guoli knew about this, and he was there at that time. The lady praised him, saying that he was beautiful and wanted to buy him back to be a maid."
"Hehe, Brother Hong is really good-looking." The old farmer smiled silly, "Master Gun, how did you hook up with someone?"
"What is hooking up?" I raised my eyebrows, "It was her who came to us on the initiative!"
"Yoyo, I took the initiative to come to you." The old farmer curled his lips disapprovingly, "Your family was so poor at that time, why did you point to someone to look for? This matter must have nothing to do with you! I guess they are interested in Brother Hong's face! It's a by the way to find you!"
"Oh, that's not the case. To be precise, it wasn't that she took the initiative to look for us. We met. That day, I took Hong Guoli to the casino to make money - I just wandered around the casino and won some money when I saw the opportunity. As a result, something suddenly happened and the gun was fired. At that time, I had just placed a bet, and when the gun rang, I couldn't care about the chips and pulled Hong Guoli away.
I forgot where we were hiding at that time. It was a corner, and there was a large flower pot nearby that could just block us. When we passed by, there was a person hidden there, that lady. At the beginning, she was talking murmurs, and I couldn't understand a word. Later, she said the big first words, which was very strange and it was difficult to listen to."
"Is that young lady lost?" Qian Bai asked tentatively.
"Well, I'm lost." I nodded, "But she seemed quite happy - alas! To be honest, that girl must be no ordinary person when she grew up! It's so amazing! Really!
There was still chaos outside, so she was about to go out, not afraid at all. I was very proud of my face at that time. I saw that a girl was not afraid, so I couldn't be afraid! So I went out with me too. Hong Guoli was afraid alone, so he also came out.
She took us around the casino and flipped the cash from the body, which made us both foolish. Now that I thought about it, I was really scared at that time. Even if I couldn’t think of getting cash, it would be fine to get some chips! When the matter was over, I would use the chips to exchange for money! Oh! I didn’t expect that at that time, I followed people stupidly, and my mind was empty!
I came to my senses when I left the casino. She asked us to take her around the city. I was still stupid at the time. I would do whatever she asked me to do. After walking for a while, it seemed that it was almost dark. I remembered to ask her, aren’t you afraid of turning cash out of the body? Guess what she answered?"
The old farmer and Gun Bai looked at each other and shook their heads together.
"She said, what's the point of being afraid of corpses? Only living people are scary. As soon as she said this, I was stunned at that time. When I recovered from the spirit, I felt that the world had changed. After that, I was no longer afraid of seeing corpses."
After listening to the girl's answer, Lao Nong and Gengbai were also stunned. The old Nong moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to express it. Gengbai took a deep breath and sighed, "What a strange woman..."
"That's why I said she was special." I shrugged, "We have to go home. She didn't want us to leave, so she took out the money and said she wanted to hire us. As long as we helped her, she would give us money. At that time, I could already think about things, so I asked her half-jokingly, "Aren't you afraid that we would rob your money?" As a result, she said, since you would ask this, you wouldn't do it."
"Then... Then you two left with her later?"
"How is that possible? And she didn't mean that." I smiled bitterly, "At first, I misunderstood what she meant. I thought she just wanted to hire a day or two, so I almost agreed. After talking, I realized that she wanted to buy us and take us home. I feel that she should be a foreigner, probably from the Central Plains, but I don't know which country it is."
