The sun was supposed to be at three o'clock in the morning, but the gray sky was covered with overcast clouds, without a trace of light. The black clouds were billowing on the other side of the mountain, which could not crush the city, but at least at this time it was absolutely oppressive and suffocating.
The weather that should have belonged to summer has moved to early spring. Just looking at the thick clouds, I don’t know whether the Spring Festival transportation as precious as oil, as the old man said, can be properly used here.
The weather in early spring is the most elusive, especially in the area south of the Qinling Mountains. Wearing a cotton-padded jacket early in the morning and wearing a veil in the afternoon are not non-existent. The spring cover and autumn freeze are all nonsense at this time. Anyone who says this can make anyone weather. On a sunny day, I cover my head at noon, fearing that even the newly laid eggs may hatch chicks.
It is true that today there is far from that depressing warmth. Even if the air before the rain is so oppressive that it makes people breathless, there is still a slight chill in the lungs, which is quite comfortable.
In the government office, Ye San Geng ignored Qi Mo Yan's repeated inquiries. He also did not explain the identity of the woman he said could be called a heavenly being but was still not as good as Ye Xia Yu. He just let him guess on his own.
At this time, Qin Shenglong was seen walking like a tiger. He had been very busy for a while. The collar of his armor was already open, and he held his pocket in his arms. He entered the yard panting heavily and shouted in a loud voice: "Either we say The Third Young Master has a wide circle of people, and he has friends to help him wherever he goes. We people like us have been tossing back and forth all night. If it weren’t for the Third Young Master and these two friends, we might have been tormenting for how long. It’s awesome.” The fifth-grade Lieutenant Zhechong is very sincere. He never mince words when speaking. He is used to being straightforward. He just says what he has to say. These heartfelt words of praise fell on his ears in the middle of the night, but he had no other thoughts. Qi Moyan was more thoughtful. Some, but he didn't need to care too much. He had worked with this military attaché for several years, and he had already lost the battle with him in officialdom.
Cheng Shouyi, an old lady who is about to return to her hometown, is really as pedantic as an old scholar. For him, fame and wealth are really the most important things in his life besides life. Last night, his legs were shaking and his nose was full of runny nose. Tears' useless look has long been forgotten, but now it is very conspicuous.
I was originally sitting on the grand master's chair in the lobby. I was sitting upright without any etiquette. I was almost lying on my back, looking like I was going to die soon.
Obviously something like this happened in Phoenix City. For him, it would ruin his life's efforts. No matter what the outcome was, in the eyes of this old eunuch who had jumped several levels because of Qi Mo Yan, he was the emperor. There is certainly no way to escape the anger.
Now that the group of culprits have been caught, the old eunuch is really relieved. He never thought that his colleague who has been his partner for several years has been really incompetent in the past few years. Zhechi didn't show any signs of sympathy for this muscular military attaché, so how could he still be so unobtrusive when he had been with him for six or seven years?
No wonder he is in his prime and has no hope of promotion. He can offend so many people just by saying something. What does it mean to be a friend thanks to the Third Young Master?
What does it mean for people like us to torment people all night long? Not to mention in the officialdom, even if colleagues inadvertently mentioned this, it would be a big deal.
Cheng Shouyi stood up from the chair as if he was dying of illness, startling Qi Mo Yan beside him. He didn't know that the old eunuch had just been sighing and muttering that he was dying and had nothing. , a lifetime of official career was ruined in an instant, why are you so energetic now?
Cheng Shouyi stared, his silver beard seemed to be trembling, and said angrily: "What kind of friend? How can this be the friend of the Third Young Master? It is clearly the Third Young Master's coordinated arrangement. After a night of hard work, before the reinforcements arrived, At this time, under the wise decision of Third Young Master, he strategized and helped us catch the thief, which has nothing to do with Third Young Master's friends." Ye Sangen, who was sitting on the Taishi chair opposite, slowly sat up straight and wanted to applaud. , these words are really very knowledgeable.
Qi Moyan, who knew the wayward old eunuch over there, slapped his forehead and knew that this was another of his old habits. Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Shouyi continued chattering with excitement: "The third young master discovered that the city lord was kidnapped last night and put his own life at risk." Regardless, we went deep into the tiger's den to spy on the enemy. We wandered in and out of the group of thieves, trying our best to save the city lord. We also relied on the 300 defenders in our city to deal with the thieves. This morning we discovered the enemy's lair and used our side to It is a very small price to pay for losing twenty-six people, in order to further torture to get more information and capture the thief alive..."
"They are all dead." Either way, it could be said that Captain Zhechong was honest. Qin Sheng, who was immersed in Cheng Shouyi's impassioned words that were almost like nonsense, interrupted at the right time and added what his partner was saying. loopholes.
Cheng Shouyi nodded naturally. He had never made such a blank written statement without thinking about it. There were endless tones and speech techniques that could only be used in officialdom, and he was as proficient as a year-end report.
Cheng Shouyi continued: "At the very small cost of losing twenty-six of our people, we will kill all these vicious thieves and save the people of Phoenix City from fire and water, and save our city from danger." Qi Moyan was already very shameless. He continued to listen, holding his forehead and turning a deaf ear. Obviously, he was helpless to this old governor.
Having said that, this is also a tacit understanding that we have worked together for so many years. As far as feelings are concerned, Qi Moyan can't give the old eunuch any trouble at the end. It's not that he is afraid that he won't be able to bear it after the ups and downs. And his death is just a pity that he has been up and down in the officialdom for decades. Whether it is chance or his own efforts to get to this point, he can return to his hometown to take care of his old age and become a good talk. This is called Guangzong Yaozu.
In the officialdom, one does not seek merit but seeks no faults. This is the true intention that one should abide by after seeking fame. Speaking of heroic words such as establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting the unique knowledge of the past saints, and creating peace for all generations, it is just a click of the upper and lower lips, and the words are better than the songs. Even if there are a few of those sages, Who else can do it?
From Qi Moyan's point of view, it is better to be down-to-earth and take one step at a time, just like playing chess, one move at a time. If you make a mistake, you will go backwards.
Ye Sangen, who was least good at this kind of communication, heard that he had one head and two big heads. Those civil servants and military generals who went to Panshan Mountain to send greetings during festivals. Anyone with such a glib tongue would definitely be attracted by that person with a different surname. Wang blasted out.
In the end, standing at the door and watching the doorman, Xiao Sui, throwing greeting cards out became a way to pass the time.
He simply got up in the middle of the night. After all, looking at Qin Sheng's words and deeds, he knew that things could be done quickly. It seemed that Song Li and the second and third brothers had done it cleanly in the morning.
There is no doubt about this. Although Song Li has long since escaped from the knife hunter, the training he has received since he was a child and his subtle feelings are the most unaccustomed to those people or things that endanger the interests of the people of the Zhou Dynasty. If he encounters them, he will still It would be merciful to let him know where the body is.
Their habit of solving troubles privately without exposing them is also a rule they must abide by as knife hunters.
It is safest to nip all signs of danger in the early stages of life. I wanted to say hello to Qi Moyan before heading back to Shanbei Village to stay in Zhizhai. At midnight, I slouched at the entrance of the lobby. But before I could turn around, the sound of drums and drums could be heard in the distance.
This is the most primitive, simplest, yet fastest and most convenient way of transmitting messages among the Zhou army. After three long and two short beats, the drum sound suddenly stopped.
This is also the simplest signal among the Zhou army. Three long and two short indicate that something is happening. In the middle of the night, he turned to look at Qin Sheng. Captain Zhe Chong, who was following his old partner to learn the post-war summary report, was also stunned.
Qi Moyan suddenly raised his head, his face turned bitter.
"Didn't they all be killed? Why are they still coming?" Regarding
"They're all dead", even though Ye Sangeng who belatedly realized that he had no chance to ask Song Li, and didn't even think of asking about Song Li and Er San's interactions with this group of thieves, Ye Sangeng still had There is reason to believe that at least Bilanpo will not be killed easily. If she is as cunning as that woman, it will be good if she can be caught. Don't expect to kill her.
As for Ningzhiyu, Ye Sangen hoped that she could be caught, or even die in Song Li's hands. After all, he didn't bother to ask her the reason for such a commotion.
Therefore, when the sound of drums and drums came, the late night watchman was not obviously panicked or surprised. He jumped out of the house for more than ten feet. Several people had already left the government office and followed the sound in a hurry.
