No matter how careful Sara was, the mountain ghost heard it clearly. If other things were good, when the words Sesshomaru were mentioned, it would become completely subconsciously vigilant, and it would eat the meat less anxiously than before.
"Woo." Why are you asking this?
"If you want to know if I have a place in your master's heart, just treat me as curious." Sara said in a surprising tone, not caring that there were so many people present.
The mountain ghost was almost stunned by Sara's words. What does it mean to have a place in the master's heart? His master has always been a very indifferent demon and it is impossible to take anyone to heart.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Sara understood what the mountain ghost meant, so she didn't hold back and deliberately provoked: "You said yes, you don't need a wife, and you also said that Sesshomaru has never lent you to others before, and I am an exception. "
Hearing this, the mountain ghost banged his fist on the ground, making several big holes: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo According Don't say anything in front of me again.
The mountain ghost snorted, and between inhaling and exhaling, the flames in front of his eyes were swaying this way and that. Sesshomaru was the last thing in its mind that it could not mention, even if Sara had delicious meat. Besides, it is about to fall out.
General Zuo swallowed his saliva and saw that the mountain ghost was about to stand up and jump on his feet. He was so frightened that he should say something or not. What did Sara do to provoke it?
Kyousuke Nigami took a breath at Sara's boldness. Literary men are good at taking advantage of people's hearts, and a rough guy like General Zuo doesn't know that there is a way to stimulate others to obtain information.
When Sara got the answer she wanted, she naturally stopped talking and pushed the pile of meat in front of the mountain ghost again to see what it was eating.
The mountain ghost is so coaxable that when Suo Luo stopped talking, he couldn't resist the temptation of meat and started eating it happily again. It’s easy to say anything except its owner.
Sara waited for the mountain ghost to come back in the afternoon and ate meat with it in the evening. After such a long delay, it was already completely dark, so she thought it was time to return to the city.
"It's hard to travel at night. I think the city gate has been closed. It's better for the city lord to leave tomorrow. The general will definitely tell the soldiers to prepare well." After General Zuo heard that Su Luo said it was late, he quickly stood up to persuade him to stay.
At this moment, Sara was no longer a dispensable princess, but their backbone. It would be bad if something happened on the road.
Nigami Kyousuke also came out to lend a helping hand, saying that he could go back tomorrow as the city was not far from here and it would be safer to travel during the day.
Sara was not a stubborn person, so she thought about it and agreed to live in the military camp. After hearing this, the maid next to her asked for instructions and went down with the soldiers to prepare.
There is strength in numbers, and it didn’t take long for the rest tent to be ready.
Liu Shangui continued to eat and drink in the spacious venue, General Zuo and Ergami Kyosuke continued to accompany him, and Sara, led by the soldiers, returned to the tent where he would stay tonight.
"May I have your name?"
"Jiu Shan Jian."
Sara asked the soldier's name, and then asked him some basic information, why he entered the military camp, and how his life was in the military camp.
The soldiers held torches in front of them and answered one by one. When they were young, they were poor, but they were still happy. During the Warring States period, all their family members died in the wilderness. They survived and entered the military camp to serve the country of Salo. They worked as odd jobs in the military camp and still had enough to eat. .
The night was thick, and several torches in the military camp illuminated the way forward. These words were like ordinary questions, and the soldiers spoke them calmly, as if they were numb.
Along the way, the system hesitated, wondering whether he should say something to Sara.
'You can say whatever you want, I have nothing to hide from you. After asking the soldiers some information, Sara spoke to the system in her mind.
[You have seen the plot of the anime, and you should know Sesshomaru's temperament. Why do you keep testing him again and again, and even use words to stimulate the mountain ghost's emotions? 】
The system asked a good question, and Sara thought about it for a long time before giving the answer: "This may be just an anime world to you." But for the people and monsters who have lived here for a long time, it is extremely real. '
Life with intelligence and emotions is complex, and the character setting alone would be too paper-based. If she only believed in the plot, she would be disrespectful of the world and irresponsible to herself.
The soldier sent Sara to the door of the tent and was very polite and did not follow him any further: "There will be someone waiting outside. If the city lord needs anything, just call."
"Excuse me," Sara warmly thanked the soldiers in front of her before entering the tent, "Jiu Shanjian, you should also pay attention to rest and don't be too tired. The logistics of the army cannot do without a diligent handyman like you."
The soldier was seventeen or eighty-nine years old and threw himself into the military camp because he didn't have enough to eat. He came to the military camp as a handyman, and he was an inconspicuous existence on weekdays. How could Jiu Shanjian have been remembered by such a big shot, and he said that the military camp could not leave him.
How could he be so important? Jiu Shanjian's mottled cheeks burned red, and when he accidentally met Sara's extremely serious eyes, his eyes turned red for some reason, and then he lowered his eyes hurriedly.
Sara sighed in her throat and patted the other party on the shoulder: "There is no need to mobilize all the troops to stay outside the camp. I'm just staying here for one night."
All words were unnecessary at this moment. After speaking, Sara opened the curtain and entered the camp.
The cold wind blew in the suburbs at night, drying the tears on his face. Jiu Shanjian wiped his face hard, turned around and prepared a bottle of hot water for food, fearing that Sara would need it at night, so he had to have it ready at all times. .
In the kitchen.
"Hey, I'm not talking about you. The city lord has brought so many maids. If there is anything to do with us, the maids won't come here. Why are you so busy?" The soldier who was also a handyman like Jiu Shanjian was puzzled and turned around behind him. Turn to, "Did your kid take the wrong medicine tonight?"
"You don't understand," Jiu Shanjian frowned and paused. He really didn't agree with the other party's statement of "taking the wrong medicine." "Our work is related to the entire logistics of the military camp. We must do our best to be worthy of the General City Lord."
"Sure enough, you took the wrong medicine. Didn't you get along just like me before?"
"Not anymore." Jiu Shanjian felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, and his tone was particularly solemn.
…
Qiu saw that it was a little soldier who was escorting Suo Luo back. He was making bed movements with great movements, as if he wanted to vent some emotions, and his mouth was so stubborn that he could wear a bottle of oil.
Sara Ting had wanted to chat with Qiu a long time ago, and after the bed was made, she motioned for him to find a place to sit down, while she herself sat on the bed.
The expression of the person on the bed could not be said to be good or bad. Qiu had a stormy attitude, sitting on the carpet with his back straight.
"Autumn."
"Eh~"
"You are loyal to me, right?"
"Of course!" Qiu responded hastily, her body warming up a little, "If it weren't for you, I might have no home like other sisters and would have to live outside..."
When the old city lord went crazy and burned down the city lord's palace, General Zuo led his troops to flee, and even the civil servants began to pack up their belongings and flee other countries. As for them maids and eunuchs, they were rootless people with no place to go. It was the collapse of the Sarabang Building that allowed them to preserve their remaining habitat.
"So you really want others to see that General Zuo respects me, so that they can also compliment and please me. If General Zuo is disrespectful to me, you will feel angry on my behalf."
Qiu knelt on the ground, crawled towards the bed, and cried with tears on his face: "City Lord, Qiu is loyal to you, and I will never have second thoughts. I beg the City Lord not to drive Qiu away!"
"You have no relatives outside. You entered the palace because you wanted to have a place to live and settle down. You followed me and thought that I could get ahead. This is not something I cannot accept. It's just that you don't believe that I can take charge of the power."
If Ruo Qiu believed it, how could he care about General Zuo's pretense of respect or lack of respect?
There was a cry in the tent. Qiu thought that she would be seen through, but she never thought that she would be seen through like this. As a slave, shouldn't it be better for her master to be good to herself? What's wrong with her thinking that way?
Of course, Sara didn't think the other party was wrong, but what she needed was a servant. Who could guarantee that this servant would not do things for her own benefit that were nominally beneficial to her but actually useless?
"General Zuo has a lot of troops and is the most powerful person in the dynasty. Do you think I need him now, or does he need me?"
Qiu's body was trembling. Of course she knew what was going on, but she said, "You are the city lord, General Zuo is just a general."
"A city lord without a general is just a city lord with an empty name but no say in the outside world."
Sara seemed a little disappointed and a little regretful: "There is no need to say more about his importance to me. Do you know how much impact you will have on me if you are often disrespectful to him in daily life? I bring you with me because I care about him. You expect too much."
There are no heroes in the eyes of servants. If Qiu has always been a servant, then all he sees in his eyes will always be the benefits on the surface. Following the glorious master can get more benefits. How could she care about whether it would affect Sara's status?
Is this Qiu's fault? Would a different servant be better than the current one?
Sara stood up from the bed, lifted Qiu's shoulders and helped Qiu stand up.
Qiu burst into tears. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it. She didn't know how to defend herself at this moment, so she could only keep crying.
"You are a smart person, and you have always done things well around me. Are you willing to be a maid all the time?" Sara held up the handkerchief and wiped away Qiu's tears and snot. "You have to believe in yourself, and you should believe in me."
"You and I are alone now, and there is nothing we can't lose. You and I both have to believe that money, fame, and fortune are not only owned by men."
The warm candlelight danced on Sara's face, and Qiu felt that the fire in her heart was burning and burning inexplicably. She looked at Sara expectantly, looking forward to what he was about to say next.
"I need a woman by my side who is as careful as you and yet strong. Together, we can watch the world change."
Years later, Qiu always remembered the most frank conversation between the master and the servant that night. Oh, she was no longer a servant.
Qiu looked at the face that had become more graceful and graceful over the years, and respectfully handed over the enemy's surrender document. She is an important partner for Sara to move forward, not just a servant who only wants more food and drink.
