Chapter six hundred and seventy third urgent matters
"Trash, they're all trash. It's been three days and I haven't even found a single person. What do I want from you?"
In the Prince of Shu's Mansion, the angry His Highness the Prince of Shu turned over the table again. At the bottom of the room, all the local officials in Shuzhou lowered their heads and remained silent.
In all counties in Shuzhou, the yamen officials, including Min Zhuang, and even the county lieutenant personally led people to patrol, but not to mention the Taoist nun and the Chang'an county uncle, not even the shadow of the man in blue and yellow was seen.
Finding two people in a place as big as Shuzhou is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and when the order was issued, it was already the second day. Maybe they had escaped from Shuzhou long ago and were looking for people somewhere else!
"Continue to search for me. If you are alive, you will see the person, if you are dead, you will see the corpse!" King Shu gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"I obey my orders..."
All the officials responded one after another and walked out dejectedly.
Of course you have to look for it, even if it is just a pretense, otherwise it will be difficult for the King of Shu to explain. After all, the officials of Shuzhou will still rely on him in the future...
Within three days, the atmosphere in various counties in Shuzhou suddenly became tense.
Patrolling soldiers can be seen everywhere on the streets, and even in remote deserted villages, people are constantly searching. Especially for strangers who are strangers, the patrols are particularly strict.
In Yongzhou City, there is a long-abandoned courtyard.
On the edge of the dry well in the courtyard, a hand suddenly stretched out.
The young man named Fang climbed out of the dry well with difficulty and lay weakly on the ground.
Three days, three whole days, not to mention eating, not even drinking water. Even though the sealed acupuncture points have been unlocked by themselves, it is difficult to exert much strength at this moment.
"Wait, I'll find the rope!" He said while lying on the wellhead, then slowly turned around, pushed open the courtyard door, and staggered outside.
Not long after, a young man with tattered clothes and dusty face stood in a daze on the street, looking at a noodle stall on the street, his throat uncontrollably shaking.
"well……"
The noodle stall owner sat on the steps, looking boredly at the crowds on the street, then looked at the empty noodle stall, and sighed leisurely.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, all his eyes were attracted to the ingot of silver on the table.
"Ten bowls of noodles!"
Seeing the young man opposite staring at him, the noodle stall owner couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Ten bowls?" he asked with some uncertainty.
"Cut the nonsense and hurry up!"
The noodle stall owner shuddered when the young man glared at him with green eyes, and immediately said: "Okay, okay, sir, wait a moment, the noodles will be here soon."
"Sir, here comes your face!"
Soon, the stall owner brought up a bowl of noodles, and his eyes widened when he saw that the bowl was already empty in just a few breaths.
The young man surnamed Fang raised his head and said angrily: "What are you still doing? Have another bowl!"
"Hey, right away, right away!"
The noodle stall owner hurriedly moved his hands again, glanced at the young man, and cursed in his mind, "I finished the noodles right after they came out of the pot. I was reborn as a ghost in my last life, so why didn't I burn you to death..."
It wasn't until the young man had eaten five bowls that the boss had time to stop and wipe the sweat from his forehead. At this time, many people had gathered around the noodle stall.
"Is it really so delicious?"
One person said something puzzled, sat down aside and said, "Give me a bowl too."
"Bah!" After a moment, he took a bite and spat it out. He glanced at the young man and cursed: "I can eat such unpleasant noodles. I thought it was so delicious. I must have starved to death in my previous life.
you!"
I threw down two copper coins and turned around to leave when a voice came from behind me.
"Hey, you haven't finished eating your noodles yet."
The man turned his head, looked at the young man, and sneered: "I don't want to eat it, do you care?"
The young man glanced at him and stood up from his seat.
…
…
"Eat, I'll eat right now!"
The man with a bruised nose and face sat obediently on his seat and ate all the bowl of noodles without leaving a mouthful of soup. Forced by the young man's eyes, he even refilled the bowl before asking in a trembling voice: "
Is this okay?"
"get out!"
The young man waved his hand impatiently, looked at the boss, and said, "Keep doing it!"
Half an hour later, the boss looked at the pile of bowls next to him in astonishment. Worried that he could not keep up, he finally added more weight to each bowl. The young man ate ten bowls in this way, and the last one was still next to him.
I bought dozens of buns from the bun shop and then walked away...
This kind of appetite is not human, this is simply a monster!
…
…
Qi State is the most powerful country in this land. This is an undoubted fact.
Even though they lost to Qi in an important battle and even lost two cities, Qi's envoys did not get any advantage in the competition with Jing, but whether it was population or economy, or
In terms of military affairs, Qi's strength far exceeds that of other countries.
Fengzhou is not close to the capital of Qi State. It can even be said to be remote. It is a three-day drive to the south and is the boundary of Jing State.
However, although Fengzhou is remote, it is not poor. Even in the entire Qi State, it can be regarded as one of the richest state capitals.
At this moment, at the gate of Fengzhou City, two carriages slowly drove in.
The man was riding on the horse, looked back, and said, "Brother Li, we're just ahead."
"When we get home, I will arrange for you to stay in the guest room first. After a few days, I will find a place for you to settle down." The big man said with a smile: "You are a scholar. If you don't mind, you can work as an accountant or something for the family.
Yes, although the salary is not much, it is enough for the two of you to live in the future."
Li Yi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Lin."
The big man waved his hand and said, "Hey, you're welcome!"
Li Yi smiled slightly at him. This big man, whom he had only known for four days, was very warm-hearted. Perhaps it was because he had experienced "suffering together" in the past, so he took good care of them along the way.
In the eyes of the man in front of him and everyone accompanying him, he and Miss Liu Er were probably a young man and woman who eloped.
Li Yi did not explain their understanding, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Miss Liu Er's injury cannot be healed in a short time and she needs to rest. It is not suitable to travel around. It is also his decision to settle down here temporarily.
Although he didn't want to come to Qi, he had no choice but to do so under the circumstances of the past few days. Fortunately, it was not far from Shuzhou, and it was only three days by carriage. What he had to do now was to send the message back to Yong as soon as possible.
County, the news from Goulan must be on the way now. When it gets back to Kyoto and Ruyi and the others make arrangements, it will take at least two or three months.
During this period of time, it is also a good choice to stay in such a place where neither the king of Shu nor the Taoist nun would have thought of to recuperate.
In the past few days, from this big man's mouth, Li Yi roughly understood what the "Lin family" he was talking about was like.
The Lin family can only be regarded as a small merchant in this city, running a few jewelry shops and occasionally doing cross-border business, and the girl named Lin Wanru seems to be the person in charge of the family's business at present.
The fact that the Lin family can hand over all the family business to such a young woman shows that her abilities must be extraordinary.
I just didn't expect that the woman looked weak and weak, and she really didn't look like someone with any means.
When the carriage reached a certain place, the big man pointed and said: "In front is my family's shop. There is a small yard next to the shop. Sometimes when the shop is busy, the lady will live there. The lady just said,
Let the place be tidied up in the next two days, so you can stay here temporarily until other arrangements are made in the future."
After entering Rufengzhou City, it took only a quarter of an hour for the Lin family to arrive.
The carriage drove in from a side door, Li Yi supported Miss Liu Er, and the big man led them to a side room and said: "You guys will stay here for the next two days. If you need any greetings, wait until the yard is tidied up in two days."
Now, move over again."
Li Yi walked into the room, looked around, turned around, and asked with some surprise: "Is this the only one?"
"Is there any problem?" The big man nodded and asked doubtfully.
Li Yi was startled, shook his head and said, "No."
"If anything happens, remember to call me..." When the big man walked to the door, he turned back and said.
After his figure disappeared, Li Yi helped Miss Liu Er sit down by the bed and said: "If the matter is urgent, let's make do with two days..."
[ps: I’ve been busy lately, and the official account hasn’t been updated for a few days. I’ll post the readers’ version of Ms. Liu Er’s hand-drawn drawings later. I have something to go out in the afternoon, so I’ll update later.]
