The Wei family really wanted to give it a try. They were a family of military generals, and there were many middle- and lower-level officers who were loyal to the Wei family and only wanted to be loyal to the Wei family. It was also the current monarch who was too protective of the "patient" in the family and caused many troubles, but was suppressed by the monarch. There were already ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with this.
But no one dared to say it openly, and they were very cautious when discussing privately.
There were also people who secretly contacted the Wei family, hoping to take sides. As soon as the news of Lady Wei's pregnancy came out, even more people came.
Several imperial doctors simultaneously confirmed that she was pregnant with a boy. On the surface, everything was calm in the court, but in fact, there was a turbulent undercurrent.
The Wei family has been in charge of the military for many years, and their prestige in the military is deeply rooted.
Now what their family hopes to keep most is the concubine and the young prince in the palace.
Wei Mao talked to me a lot, and I asked him to go back to Wei's house in the evening to convey my willingness to cooperate.
Before those people came back, I sent him out the back door. He had my "qi" in his body. Even if he encountered someone who blocked him, I could solve it for him.
Those people who spent a long time chopping with knives and axes should have known how strong the shield was and couldn't be opened using ordinary tools.
Otherwise, wouldn’t Mrs. Baigu have been trapped here for more than twenty years in vain?
The monarch dared not to leave a guard and only used a protective shield to trap Madam Baigu, because he had 100% confidence in this protective shield. Chinese website
Wei Mao came back quietly in the middle of the night. I opened the door for him. He looked around for a while with a small baggage in his hand, and then stepped into the courtyard.
There is a token in the baggage for the Wei family to mobilize troops, but the Wei family cannot leave the capital.
"The living can't get out, but the dead can." I took the thick stack of banknotes from my bag and put them into my leather bag.
"Dead person?" Wei Mao was puzzled.
"You, didn't you come here to die? If you were dead, who would still be watching you? Wouldn't there be a chance to leave the city?"
"oh oh!"
"We have a ready witness here." I whispered to Ah Shun.
Ah Shun was so frightened by the group of people who came before that he dared not sleep.
When he heard the topic was brought up to him, he pointed at his nose and asked, "Me?"
"You, when you go out tomorrow, if anyone asks, just say that I have practiced evil skills. Wei Mao came to grab the secret book. I beat him to death and ate his meat. After that, I will be in seclusion for three days. I don't want anyone to be waiting in the house, so Kicked you out."
"Can I go home?" As expected, Ah Shun's focus was off.
"Yes, remember my words, I said one wrong word..."
"Don't you dare! I remember. Mr. Wei came to steal the secret book. You beat him to death and ate the meat. I cooked it! You have to stay in seclusion for three days. If I am in the way, kick me out."
"That's right. Act a little scared. After all, you are cooking human flesh with your own hands and seeing me eating people. It doesn't matter if the performance is a little exaggerated."
Ah Shun didn't understand what "performance" was, but he immediately started practicing, walking to the mirror in the room to practice showing his scared expression.
Although he doesn't look very good, he is quite talented in acting and is not stiff at all. If he were to be an extra in modern times, he should have some achievements.
Wei Mao took the token and went out. I would know if there was anyone watching around. I could tell as soon as I felt it. While no one was around, he left the house to find a place to hide.
When the news that Wei Mao was eaten spread in the city, the monarch no longer cared about his existence, and he would find an opportunity to quietly leave the capital.
In the past few days, people and goods have been inspected at the city gate, and inspections have been particularly strict. Even the dung trucks have to be opened and stirred with sticks.
I let Ah Shun out of the house at dawn and asked him to contact as many people as possible. It didn't matter whether he knew them or not.
I separated the "qi" threads from his body, entered the bodies of passers-by, and manipulated them to help me buy things.
Ashun will be approached by people when he returns home, and they will ask him some questions.
Only strangers can help me buy things. They buy all kinds of food and put them outside the back door of the house, and I give them the money for the shopping.
The four people bought eight large bags of food, and the police moved the food into the yard using the "qi" thread.
The living conditions here are not bad, and I am in no hurry to leave.
There are abundant ingredients, I will give Yunzhou
I stewed the meat, fried the meatballs, steamed a pot of white rice, and had a great meal.
Yunzhou hasn't had any serious snacks for many days, so I bought him a big box.
A day of good food and drink is as relaxing and enjoyable as a vacation.
In the morning, someone came to spy on the situation. Yunzhou and I stayed in the guest room with the doors and windows closed so that no one outside could see us.
They found that the main house had been demolished and the ground had been dug up. It was considered an important discovery and they immediately sent people back to recover.
The people who stayed behind stayed outside the wall, whispering about Wei Mao being eaten.
They had already heard the news that Ah Shun was taken out, saying that Wei Mao offended me and was killed and eaten by me.
They also know what kind of skills Madam Bai Gu practices. Now that I have learned them, they must be able to eat a lot of people.
Being an errand in the palace is just a job, and no one is not afraid of death.
They were anxious to open the protective cover, and even more anxious when it was opened, fearing that I would use it as practice material.
The leader scolded them and told them not to waver in military morale. They must complete the tasks assigned by the monarch.
Otherwise, they will die no matter what. If they die by my hands, at least their family will be fine.
If they offend the king, they will bring disaster to the whole family.
This is the same method as the government threatening cooks to come in to cook. How many cooks have to bite the bullet to keep their families safe, knowing that they may die if they come in?
In the final analysis, it was the fault of two generations of monarchs and the Hundred Bone Lady.
During the day, people outside tried their best to destroy the shield. I meditated and practiced while Yunzhou wrote, ate, and played with toys in the house.
At night while he slept, I continued to practice, mainly improving my supernatural power.
As I practiced, I discovered that the white hair ball on the top of my head would also absorb a small amount of energy from my body.
Every time it absorbs a little bit, its "good impression" of me becomes deeper.
It sleeps during the day and wakes up at night, rolling around like a curious baby.
It is curious about everything in the world, including furniture, houses, plants and insects.
Every time you bump into something, you have to hold it and "look at it" for a while.
I felt no negative energy changes in it.
This creature definitely did not exist in my original world. It is a creature unique to this world.
It runs around the house at night and sleeps on top of me during the day.
Even though it is rolling around on the ground and in the grass, the white hairs on its body are not stained by any dust.
After rolling in the mud puddle, it is still pure white when it comes out.
Since there are people guarding outside, I no longer manipulate people to bring food.
The result of their return was not ideal, and there was no solution.
So they could only use the method of "trapping the city" and wanted to starve us to death.
But the Ouchi expert who was guarding outside was worried that I would go out and eat them when I was hungry.
None of them dared to guard the door, and they all retreated to a place a hundred meters away to hide.
There are people watching the front and back doors, and there are people squatting in the dark alley on one side, but on the other side is the sewage ditch, and the city's wastewater and garbage are all outside the wall, and there is no path for passers-by to walk on.
I dug a hole under the wall on this side, and passers-by who had previously received heavy rewards were notified by "Qi" threads to come and deliver food.
They came one at a time, carrying baskets on their backs, wading through the stinking ditch, and dumping the contents of the baskets into the hole in the wall.
The things were sealed with oil paper. Although they worked hard, they were very willing to earn the hard money. After all, I gave them too much.
