Jingyang City is completely different from the border town.
The streets are busy with people and traffic, and there are endless shops and stalls on both sides. The people are not very well-dressed, but this place is already much more prosperous than the border town.
Dahao Restaurant on Fenghua Street in the west of the city.
The lobby on the first floor was full of guests and bustling with people.
It looked very lively, but there was a different kind of depression flowing in this liveliness.
The diners at each table were whispering to each other and discussing the same topic.
Some shook their heads and sighed, some sighed with regret, and some burst into anger.
"The imperial list has been posted to our Jingyang City. It has been at least a month since the incident happened, alas."
"I saw the wanted notice, but I didn't expect that Yuan—— was still alive. For so many years, I always thought he died at the border."
"Who doesn't think so? I was really shocked when this news came out of nowhere. I don't know if he can escape capture."
"Keep your voice down! Just keep your words to yourself. Don't say it outside, otherwise you will be slapped with a big label by someone with ulterior motives, and you will suffer disaster."
"Tell me, what is this? I dare not tell the truth. It smells like rottenness in my stomach!"
"I told you to stop talking. Justice is in the heart of the people. People's eyes are not blind! Do they think they can deceive the whole world by spreading rumors? What collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country? Bah!"
"Hey, this guy, if you tell me not to say anything, you'll end up scolding yourself instead..."
Various discussions spread to a table in the corner of the lobby near the window, making people feel overwhelmed.
The noisy boys calmed down. The little old man held his chopsticks with his triangular eyes flashing coldly. He tilted his head and looked at Tianbao who also felt that the roasted chicken legs in his hands were not that delicious.
Only the muscular man with a beard was not affected and enjoyed the food for the money he paid.
"Grandpa Du, city gate?" Tianbao put down the drumstick.
Du Buguo also put down his chopsticks and stood up with a sullen face, "Let's go to the city gate and have a look!"
Bai Yu, Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu followed without saying a word.
Before leaving the dinner table, Du Buguo quickly slapped a pill into the mouth of the man who was eating, "The poison will be released in ten hours. Let's go to the city gate first, and you can pack a portion and get on the boat after you finish."
When the old bastard and the little bastard left, the bearded man threw his chopsticks with a mouthful of food in his mouth. He was so angry that I had to pay twice for your mother's meal!
There are four gates in Jingyang City. The West Gate, which is closest to Dahao Restaurant, is half an hour's walk along the main street.
It was already past three o'clock when the few people arrived, and the notice wall inside the city gate was still crowded with people.
The two notices on the wall are juxtaposed and very conspicuous.
There is an imperial list, the words are honest and righteous, the remnants of the Yuan family who have collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country are still there, and they are secretly moving around with the intention of stirring up trouble again. The imperial court will not tolerate those who harm the country and the people, and issued an edict to capture the remnants of the Yuan family, Yuan Yao, throughout Da Yue. .
A wanted warrant was attached with a portrait of Yuan Yao. On the right side of the portrait were listed the charges: collaborating with the enemy and treason, trapping 30,000 soldiers at Yanmen Pass, and killing 5,000 people at the border. The sin was so heinous that it was unforgivable.
One old and five young people squeezed into the crowd and looked at the two lists, remaining silent.
Tianbao opened his dark, almond-shaped eyes and looked at the portrait again and again. His little head tilted to the left and right, and he frowned in confusion, "It doesn't look like it."
For a moment, the poison didn't invade, "I didn't expect that the famous young God of War would look like this, he's so naughty!"
Poison does not invade, "Jie Jie Jie Jie!"
The fourth boy, "..."
The portrait depicts a boy who is seventeen or eighteen years old. His facial features show the youthfulness that has not yet grown, his brows are high-spirited, and his whole body is full of freshness, like wearing bright clothes and angry horses.
Where is Uncle Broken Knife? Uncle Broken Knife has gone through many vicissitudes of life, and one pair of eyes can make people tremble.
How could the artist who painted this portrait have the guts to take money from the imperial court?
Du Buguo laughed so hard that his shoulders twitched, his weird laughter scared away the people around him, and there was a spacious area around him.
The old man turned around with the little kid on his back and walked back, "Boys, let's go back and let the bearded man take care of us!"
Bai Yu and the three boys from the Su family resumed their laughter and chatter, and bounced on their toes as they walked, "Back! Serve!"
Tianbao scratched his face with his fingers, still wondering, "Why doesn't it look like it?"
Uncle Broken Knife is not Yuan Yao?
Is it someone else who is wanted?
Oh, that's none of her business.
Wa'er waved her little hand, "Return! Serve!"
Du Buguo snorted and laughed, "The Yuan family has been a general for generations. The son of the family followed his father into the battlefield at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Yuan Yao was even more outstanding among the younger members of the Yuan family. I heard that he followed his father into battle at the age of twelve. Enemy, he stayed at Yanmen Pass for five years. He only returned once when he was awarded a title in Beijing when he was eighteen years old. That was also the last time those bastards saw his true face. After so many years, they could still draw a portrait and draw a picture. The dog is considered to be highly accomplished."
Tianbao, "..."
It's none of her business again.
The old man snorted coldly, "I'll go find out who painted the painting later!"
Bai Yu geared up, "The Dog Emperor personally issued a wanted order, and the person who painted it must be a palace painter!"
Su An's breath was stuck in her throat and she almost couldn't breathe, "We're going to the palace to beat up the painter?!"
Su Wen, "Why should I beat up the painter when I go to the palace? Kill him and beat up the emperor!"
Su Wu, "Walk faster and set off immediately! Let the bearded man take the lead. The place where the emperor lives must be heavily guarded. If he dies, we will retreat first!"
The bearded man was full after eating half of the meal in the restaurant. His stomach was filled with half the food and half the gas. He carried the packed vegetables back to the cabin and wanted to poison it several times.
However, if you can't hide it from the poison, you will have to suffer in the end.
I wanted to spit in it several times.
But since he hadn't found out the spy on the ship yet, he had no choice but to give up.
When he heard the news of the big tortoise and the little tortoise boarding the ship, the bearded man sat motionless in the cabin, not even bothering to show an expression.
A few boys rushed to the cabin and looked at the exquisite food on it. They ate with their index fingers and their mouths were full of oil.
The depression and dullness I had contracted in the restaurant were swept away, and I started to keep my mouth shut.
"Big Beard, after we rescue Uncle Broken Knife in Changjing, we are going to go to the palace to fight the emperor!" Su Wu gnawed on the sauced pig's trotters, and the corners of his mouth were covered with oily sauce. He began to speak in a garbled way, "He's in the head!"
You start.
The bearded man had slender eyes, and he took out the curved blade in his sleeve and slapped it hard on the table, "No need to hit the head, just hit the neck. Come on, I'll give you the knife, and slash my neck."
Damn your grandma.
Going to the palace? Beat the emperor?
How capable I am, why should I still grab the one-third of an acre of poor land in the exile land?
Come on, give me a knife, I'll have fun!
Tianbao ate more delicately than the boys. Xiaoxiao took a bite of the chicken leg and chewed, "You are timid, no wonder, Pier 12 is weak."
"..." The bearded man's eyes turned red and his fists hardened, "What did you say?"
The baby held out a thin and tender little finger and said, "Weak, jijiji."
Little kid, do you have the guts to call your masters out to watch the fight, so we can have a fight?
