In Mishan County, on the street leading from the north gate to the city, a car covered by an oilcloth was driving slowly forward.
In the animal cage under the oilcloth, the lioness was wandering around restlessly, letting out manic and hostile roars from time to time. Even if the people watching the excitement along the way couldn't see inside, they all guessed that this was the animal that had escaped some time ago.
lion.
After entering the city from the north gate, after only walking two or three miles, the front and rear of the team were crowded with people from Mishan. As soon as the car carrying the animal cage stopped, the crowd would immediately surround it for three miles.
On the third floor, the scene is even more lively than on market day!
After all, it is no secret that two lions broke out of their cages and escaped in the Mishan County area. After such a long time, the news has spread to every household.
Now that they heard that the escaped lion had been captured by the court, the people in the city came from all directions, wanting to see the lion, the strange beast of the Western Regions!
But to the disappointment of the people, the animal cage was tightly covered with oilcloth, and the live lion could only hear its sound but not its shape!
During the march, there were many people outside making loud noises, clamoring for them to remove the tarpaulin on the cage so that everyone could see what the lion looked like...
Of course, Di Chu couldn't follow the instructions. Instead, he looked very angry and immediately ordered people to catch a few scoffing lepers from the crowd.
As a result, the number of onlookers was reduced by half in an instant, and the road that followed was not only much quieter, but also moved much faster.
It wasn't until the beast cage driver was driven into the Mishan County government office that the people who followed them dispersed one after another and went into the government office to watch the excitement. Aren't they itchy!
In the county government office, Magistrate Teng inevitably paid some compliments and congratulations to Di Chu and Pu Junxiong. Chai Yan listened and felt that goosebumps were about to fall to the ground.
Di Chu and Pu Junxiong felt good. Although the male lion had died unexpectedly, the lioness was still alive and had barely completed the task assigned by the emperor.
After leaving some manpower to guard the lions in the county government office, Di Chu, Pu Junxiong and his party returned to Wangji Inn.
As for Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu, they are still staying in the same inn as before. They only have one day to rest, and they will soon leave to return to the capital.
After dinner, Hang Baiqiu came over and knocked on Chai Yan's door.
Chai Yan opened the door and let Hang Baiqiu into the room. He smiled and asked, "Do you want to see me for anything?"
Hang Baiqiu and Chai Yan sat down at the table respectively. Hang Baiqiu said: "Chai Yan, you are the one who contributed the most to retrieving the lion this time. After I get back, do you want me to discuss it with the deputy commander and remove you from the register?"
Then tune it out, what do you think?"
Because two lieutenants under Di Chu died, the position of lieutenant was vacant. On the way back, Hang Baiqiu was thinking about personnel transfers.
In fact, Hang Baiqiu had already thought about transferring Chai Yan to work under him, but he was too embarrassed to say it right now.
Chai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Sir Hang, I think it's better not to give up. I can stay alone in the library freely, why do I have to be transferred out? I'm used to living in a single room, and I'm not going to stay with you anymore."
It doesn’t apply to living with others, haha..."
Hang Baiqiu thought that Chai Yan would accept it happily, but unexpectedly he got a reply of rejection from him. Immediately, his face showed a trace of gloom, and his heart was filled with disappointment.
Hang Baiqiu secretly took a breath, quickly adjusted his emotions, and then said: "Chai Yan, you don't have to be careful about where you live. I will help you arrange it when the time comes. You have made great achievements this time. It is a great thing to be transferred to the position of captain."
opportunity, you have to understand that there is no future for a clerk, only by becoming a lieutenant can one be promoted step by step!"
Chai Yan still shook his head: "Forget it, I'm really good like this now! Besides, I don't want to be assigned to work under Di Chu or Pu Junxiong. In that case, can I still have a good life?"
Hang Baiqiu said quickly: "No! I will agree with the deputy commander to transfer you to my group, so that no one will make things difficult for you..."
Speaking of this, Hang Baiqiu's eyes clearly revealed a look of expectation.
Hang Baiqiu's words had reached this point, and Chai Yan was too embarrassed to brush off her kindness anymore, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do as you say!"
"Really?" Hang Baiqiu's eyes suddenly filled with excitement.
Chai Yan nodded again: "Really!"
Hang Baiqiu couldn't hide his joy and shouted: "Then we have made a deal and we are not allowed to go back on it!"
Chai Yan said seriously: "Don't regret it! If you don't believe it, we can pull the hook..."
After saying that, Chai Yan actually extended the little finger of his right hand.
Chai Yan was actually just teasing Hang Baiqiu by the way, but he forgot that Hang Baiqiu was an easy-to-serious person, especially at this moment.
Then, Hang Baiqiu stretched out his little finger without hesitation and firmly hooked Chai Yan's little finger.
"Hang yourself on a hook and it won't change for a hundred years!" Hang Baiqiu said like a child while shaking his hands.
After releasing his fingers, Hang Baiqiu suddenly felt a sense of security, so he said: "Now that we have finished pulling the hook, if you still regret it, I will not let you off lightly!"
"Ah?" Chai Yan was almost stunned, but then he laughed heartily: "Hahaha..."
Hang Baiqiu looked at Chai Yan in confusion and asked, "Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"
Chai Yan's eyes were bent with laughter, and he finally managed to hold back his voice, staring at her and saying: "I laugh at you... I laugh at you for being so childish, hahahaha...
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chai Yan laughed even louder, almost crying.
Hang Baiqiu blushed immediately. Thinking back to the scene where he just pulled the hook, he was really childish.
Amidst Chai Yan's laughter, Hang Baiqiu stood up immediately and retorted with a red face: "You...you are so naive! It was obviously you who said you wanted to pull the hook, so I...
...I, I...I won’t tell you anymore!”
After that, Hang Baiqiu left Chai Yan's room angrily, while the laughter in the room continued.
The moment he returned to the room, Hang Baiqiu's angry face disappeared, and was replaced by a look of excitement and joy.
Hang Baiqiu already knew who Chai Yan's beloved woman was, but she still couldn't help but want to keep her close...
After the excitement and joy calmed down a little, Hang Baiqiu gently opened the window. She looked at the crescent moon in the sky and suddenly smiled...
Hang Baiqiu, Hang Baiqiu, you are so stupid...
PS: Actually, I quite like this girl Hang Baiqiu. What about you?
