A lot of things happen every day in the one hundred and eight cities in the thirteen states of the empire. Everyone has their own difficulties. After all, these are troubled times. Even the emperor of the empire cannot escape the shackles, let alone ordinary people.
But in general, Cheng Dalei's life is not bad, and everything is getting better.
He slept peacefully that night, and a maid came to his door the next day. The woman Su Ying selected from the General's Mansion was sent in today. Cheng Dalei couldn't seem too concerned about this kind of thing. But there were many more women coming in and out.
, the maids serving tea and water became more and more beautiful, and Cheng Dalei could always detect some changes.
He only found out after quietly asking Liu Zhi that Su Ying was quite worthy of him this time. She selected more than fifty people, all of whom were the smartest among the group of female prisoners. Everyone was well-educated and well-educated, and they all came from wealthy families. In addition,
There is also a music troupe composed of more than ten people, who are good at singing and dancing, and everyone has unique skills, such as tea ceremony, musical instruments, poetry and songs.
Cheng Dalei had to lament that now he was considered a respectable person and his family could support a team.
Of course, these fifty people alone are still not enough for a city lord's palace. But Cheng Dalei doesn't have many people close to him. Apart from himself, they are Su Ying, Fan Lihua, Liu Zhi, Yin Mu and Hei Niu.
, and does not require many servants to serve.
Among this group of female relatives, the most conspicuous ones are the four masters and servants of Zhang Baiyu. They are in Liangzhou, but their hearts may not be here. They have not yet surrendered, and they are probably guilty. Therefore, the four of them are wearing plain white robes.
, and have no qualifications to apply makeup or powder.
Cheng Dalei was nestled in the house watching the four people chopping wood, carrying water, washing clothes, and lighting the fire, but it was also a beautiful sight.
In addition to the group selected by Cheng Dalei, the rest of the remaining people in the General's Mansion were also divided up by a group of civil and military personnel under Cheng Dalei. Cheng Dalei knew these things in his heart, but he did not ask in detail.
In any case, it is not a very respectable thing.
Cheng Dalei could ignore these things and pat them on his shoulders like dust on his shoulders. But for Cui Baiyu, she would never let this matter go easily.
Every day, Cui Baiyu lives in dire straits. Treating her like a handyman is nothing to her. What worries her is that something like a nightmare will happen.
Fortunately, Cheng Dalei has not taken her to bed yet. Unfortunately, she knows that this day will happen sooner or later. This is simply a kind of torture for her. The nightmare will eventually come, but she doesn't know when it will come.
Death will indeed be the end of the world, but the painful thing is that her courage to die has long been exhausted. She knows that life is worse than death, but she has no courage to lift the knife again.
That night, Cui Baiyu returned to the room and spread out her hands. The slender hands that had never touched the spring water were now calloused. This made her even more sad, full of grievances but nowhere to express them. As for the three Xiaolu girls,
It may not be much better.
To be honest, their accommodation conditions are quite good. After all, there are many houses in the City Lord's Mansion, and they are not satisfied with the accommodation now. There is no need for Cheng Dalei to find a woodshed for them. And he does not treat them badly in terms of food. Naturally, he can't do anything like before.
Compare.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiaodie stood at the door and looked at the four people with disdain in her eyes.
"Hey, come out, the boss wants to see you."
Cui Baiyu's heart was agitated. What was supposed to come finally came. She subconsciously asked: "She, what is she going to do?"
"You'll know when you get there, why are you asking so many questions?"
Xiaodie's attitude was definitely not good. It was difficult for her to be calm towards such a beautiful woman. She glanced coldly and saw that the four of them were still motionless. She urged: "Why, do you still want me to carry you in a sedan chair?"
The four of them looked at each other and had no idea. In the end, they stood up helplessly. The mountains of swords and fire were going to break through after all. They followed Xiaodie and left the house.
Cheng Dalei's current office is in the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, which was originally Song Bokang's place. The decoration and furnishings are naturally not comparable to those in Toad City. First of all, it is very spacious. Song Bokang usually rests on a sandalwood bed instead of a kang.
When Cui Baiyu arrived, he saw Cheng Dalei discussing something with Liu Bei. Seeing Cui Baiyu come in, Cheng Dalei immediately shut up and said, "We'll discuss this matter tomorrow. You go back first."
Liu Bei agreed and took another look at Cui Baiyu before leaving. Cui Baiyu naturally knew who he was. It was rare that he didn't show the pig-like look that men have, and there was even a bit of boredom in his eyes.
This is something that is not easy to do. Cui Baiyu was secretly surprised that Cheng Dalei really had a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in his hands.
Cheng Dalei's eyes have fallen on her. Cheng Dalei doesn't have the same self-cultivation as Liu Bei, so he can't help but be tempted by this beauty.
Cui Baiyu's mood kept beating. If Cheng Dalei really planned to take his own body, what should he do? Now that he was the target of this evil thief, what could he do?
The three Xiaolu people also have this concern.
Cheng Dalei coughed, which frightened the four people's hearts. Cheng Dalei also looked away, almost forgetting the important matter.
Bang, a piece of information was slapped on the table. Cheng Dalei waved to Cui Baiyu: "Come here and see, how much do you know about these three people?"
Cui Baiyu was frightened, but fortunately Cheng Dalei didn't ask her to take off her clothes. She went over tremblingly, and was startled when she picked up the material.
It was information about the three cities of Wuwei, Haojia and Jincheng. Cui Baiyu just flipped through the first page and immediately understood what Cheng Dalei was doing.
He was actually doing what he had done countless times before, using this information to analyze his enemies and achieve the goal of knowing himself and the enemy and winning every battle.
Haojia Qian Tongyu, Wuwei Baikongji, Jincheng Sunbieshan, Cui Baiyu certainly knew these three people. In an instant, Cui Baiyu understood Cheng Dalei's current predicament.
Cheng Dalei's stall was too big. In fact, he did not swallow up the strength of Liangzhou City, but accidentally became the master of Liangzhou City. Currently, the troops are insufficient and the interior is empty. As long as a small war is needed, it will be enough.
Break the prosperity outside.
Cui Baiyu's hands trembled and he tried his best to suppress his emotions. He should have thought of these things a long time ago, but he was also in the middle of the situation. He only cared about his own safety and neglected things other than himself.
It's not that I have no hope. I just need to spread a message and tell anyone in the three cities of Wuwei...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, lest she be discovered by Cheng Dalei.
At this moment, Cheng Dalei's eyes have fallen on the three Xiaolu girls. They are both fat and thin, and each has his or her own merits. However, he usually follows Cui Baiyu and does not show them off.
They are all seventeen or eighteen years old, green and youthful. Cheng Dalei quietly turns on the leader halo, which can increase his favorability.
"How about it? Are you still getting used to living here?"
