Back Off, Let Me Come

What to see?

The waiter was alert but also curious.

The belly of this chamberlain was astonishingly huge, like that of a full-term pregnant woman. When you bend over and half kneel, your belly is almost touching the ground. The waiter frowned, worried that the other party's waist would be broken by something falling from his stomach. He asked: "Are you pregnant?"

Could it be that this chambermaid is a girl?

The chamberlain smiled bitterly and said: "Young servant, please don't play tricks on me. Even though my slave has been knifed and lost his manly things, he has not given birth to women's things. How can he be pregnant? Just wait for a while. This thing is tightly wrapped. It’s so easy to untie.”

After saying that, he kept his half-kneeling posture and struggled to take off the three inner and outer layers of ties. The last hand was holding his heavy belly, and the other hand was throwing aside the last section of the belt. He gasped lightly and carefully held the object to the ground with both hands.

The waiter heard the sound of something falling to the ground.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a clay pot.

He wondered: "What is this?"

The chamberlain replied in a low voice: "It's the bones of Lord Yan."

The waiter couldn't remember for a moment who the "Yan Gong" was. After all, the whole court knew that Yan'an's body had been chopped into pieces and fed to dogs. It wasn't until he and the waiter looked at each other for a few breaths. Under the latter's expectant gaze, a bold idea came to the waiter's mind. It was like an electric current passing through his body. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed at the clay pot. He couldn't believe it. Whispered: "Yes, is it Yan Xingning?"

The chamberlain nodded: "It's Mr. Banquet."

The waiter was so frightened that he raised his head and looked around. He hurriedly closed the door and bolted it. Then he hurriedly turned back and grabbed the waiter's arm and asked hurriedly: "Hasn't Xingning's body been taken to feed...those little beasts? Why? it's here?"

The chamberlain timidly explained: "I am on duty in the cat and dog room, and I can't bear to have the corpse of Lord Yan be treated like this, and I can't bear for him to be eaten by the little beasts in the cat and dog room. After discussing with others, I deduced that the little beast's mouth was spoiled. He doesn't like human flesh, so he decides to throw the bones of Duke Yan into the furnace and burn them... Although this will not save the whole body, if the violent master pursues it, he can replace it with animal bones..."

It is better to keep the ashes of a whole body than to feed cats and dogs.

The chamberlain looked at the servant anxiously, unsure whether the latter was happy or angry, fearing that the other party would suddenly kill him. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued with the encouragement of a lonely man: "Yan Gong treats slaves and maids with kindness. If it weren't for Yan Gong's insistence back then, I don't know how many people would have died in the snow disaster in those two years. The slaves would not have had the chance to cut their roots and seek employment in the palace. A way to survive..."

Although he is an eunuch, he also knows how to repay his kindness.

The temporary palace did not take strict care of eunuchs like them. He accidentally learned that the servant was being released, so he came out boldly.

The waiter murmured: "You are so brave!"

Protect Yan'an's body under Zheng Qiao's nose.

It was something he didn't even dare to think about.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

When Yan'an assassinated Zheng Qiao, the anger was at its peak. Once Zheng Qiao knew what these servants had done, the maggots in the ancestral graves would be picked out and chopped up.

The chamberlain whispered: "If you die, you will die."

"Oh, there's no need to be so self-indulgent. Who is born without two arms, two legs, and one head? Once you're cornered, you can kill him with a single blow." Although the servant comes from a noble family, the situation in the northwest continent is chaotic. It's unbearable. The so-called noble family also means that it will be destroyed when it is destroyed. Every time it comes and goes, it loses the arrogance that is inherent in the family.

The integrity of the servant in front of him is also worthy of admiration.

Hearing this, the chamberlain burst into tears of gratitude and bowed: "I'd like to ask you, servant, to find a quiet place with good feng shui so that Mr. Yan can rest in peace. This can be regarded as comforting Mr. Yan's spirit in heaven."

"I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request..." When the chamberlain heard this, his face turned completely white, and then he heard the attendant say, "Because Xingning still has blood relatives alive, don't worry, I will definitely collect his bones." and delivered it with my own hands into the hands of his widow.”

The waiter's mood was up and down, and he was almost frightened to death.

But I was overjoyed to hear that Yan'an's blood relative was still alive.

Then he made a big salute: "Okay, okay, this will put your mind at ease. I look down on you and thank you for the banquet!"

After that, he was ready to go back under the cover of night.

The waiter hurriedly stopped him: "What are you going back for?"

It would be better to follow their family and leave this place of wrong. Doesn't such a kind and kind chamberlain deserve to live more than Zheng Qiao?

The chamberlain politely declined the invitation and whispered: "I can come out thanks to the help of several colleagues. If I don't go back when the time comes, they may be harmed. The servant does not need to worry about the servant. Good or bad, good or bad, are all destiny... …”

Looking at this little chamberlain, the waiter was speechless for a moment.

The chamberlain walked to the door and stopped, turned around and saluted the servant sincerely: "I wish the servant a long and prosperous career."

The waiter looked at the young chamberlain and returned the salute.

The little chamberlain came and went quietly.

After a while, the wife who had been hiding came out, looked at the clay pot brought by the chamberlain, and asked her husband with her eyes.

The waiter looked like he was surviving a disaster.

He said: "There is no danger, just continue to clean up."

Finally, before daylight broke, the family drove away through the morning fog from this land of right and wrong that was about to be swallowed up by the flames of war.

To go to Longwu County, you need to cross the river first, and then take the road through Yanzhou to Liguan. At this time, Yanzhou was in the hands of the Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces, and most of the coalition forces were high-ranking warlords from all over the country who had strong military support, and a few were ruthless people who had climbed up from the bottom. The servant is an official in the court, so he knows the urinary nature of this group of people very well. He didn't want to fall into the wolf's den of these ruthless people just after escaping from Zheng Qiao's tiger's den.

The waiter’s wife suggested that they could take a detour to her parents’ house to avoid trouble, and then make plans after Zheng Qiao and the others decided the outcome of the war.

She doesn't want to go to Longwu County selfishly.

Firstly, it is remote and barbaric, and alien races are rampant, so it is not a good place; secondly, the whole family cannot bear to travel long distances. From here to Longwu, they have to face many troubles along the way, such as bandits, wars, and ferocious beasts. What will they do? be able to stand?

As for the broken sword and Yan'an's corpse...

Once everything calms down, it won't be too late to give it away.

But she wasn't the one who made the decision.

The waiter thought for a moment and ordered the driver to turn to the direction of Cunshan. He was ready to arrive before Zheng Qiao sent his troops.

The lady in charge turned pale when she heard this and said, "Master Lang, didn't you just say that the people in the Dragon Slaying Bureau were a wolf's den? Since it is a wolf's den, it is natural to avoid it as early as possible. Why did Master Lang throw himself into a trap?"

Didn’t Master Lang say that Cunshan was cheated?

Madam lives deep in the backyard of the inner house, so naturally she doesn't know the situation outside. The waiter patiently analyzed it with her: "Madam, I don't know that the mastermind behind the scheme to deceive Cunshan is Shen Youli, the governor of Longwu County. Shen Youli has an adviser, Kang Jishou, and Kang Jishou and Xingning is also a close friend. Therefore, it should be Xingning's intention for Ning Yan to go to Longwu County."

The lady nodded thoughtfully: "Master Sir, what do you mean, sir, we can ask this Commander Shen to entrust Xingning's ashes and Zheng Qiao's broken sword to Kang Jishou, who will then deliver it to Tunan?"

Save yourself the trouble of traveling to Longwu County in person?

The waiter said: "Madam only guessed half of it."

The lady asked him: "What is the other half?"

The waiter lowered his eyes to hide the shrewd calculations surging in his eyes, and said: "Once Zheng Qiao is defeated and dies, all forces will inevitably compete around Qianzhou, Yanzhou, Lingzhou and other places, and start another war. If you don't seek refuge with one party, , I’m afraid it will be difficult.”

The lady frowned and said, "Isn't it okay to live in seclusion?"

The waiter forced a smile: "How can it be so easy?"

The word "seclusion" sounds comfortable and comfortable. Without family support, life will be miserable and you have to do everything yourself. How can a noble lady who has never done hard work get used to it? It would be better if there was support from the family, but in this world, wealth should not be revealed, wealth should not be revealed, military success is like a grate, and banditry is like a comb. Failure to protect it will one day lead to death and disaster, and the disaster will affect the whole family.

Or find a stable place.

Or find a reliable backer.

At the moment, it is most important to find a place to stand.

The waiter actually had two thoughts in mind when he chose to go to Cunshan. If Shen Tang was strong enough, he could use the risk of sending the corpse to the banquet to establish friendship with Kang Jishou, gain a firm foothold, and then start plotting. If Shen Tang was not strong enough, he would return Yan'an's body and take the road to another place. With Kang Jishou as his escort, Shizhong's family can pass through Cunshan safely...

The Dragon Slaying Bureau coalition forces will not take action against him.

The waiter kept all these thoughts in his stomach.

As long as they have not entered Cunshan's sphere of influence, the Shizhong family dare not relax their nerves. Zheng Qiao is a madman, and it is normal for a madman to go back on his word. Fortunately, although there were accidents along the way, they all passed without incident. After several days, the waiter finally saw a shadow standing behind the morning mist, like a silent giant lying on the ground taking a nap.

"Stop, who's in front of you?"

Before the group reached the foot of Cunshan City, they were intercepted by a group of patrol soldiers, led by a young team leader with a very feminine appearance. The two sides were separated by thirty or forty feet and looked at each other from a distance. The waiter comforted his wife and children, opened the curtain and bent out.

"When I was in Kang Dynasty, an old friend of Kang Jishou came here to seek refuge because his family was in trouble." The attendant cupped his hands and told the story.

The waiter didn't mention Ning Yan's name.

In his view, Ning Yan was a "widow of a close friend" who defected to Kang Shi. How could Shen Tang's troops know about his military advisor's personal dealings? So he directly mentioned Kang Shi's name.

As expected, the patrol leader knew Kang Shi. When he heard this, his vigilance became less vigilant: "Are you an old friend of Commander Kang?"

The waiter said: "Exactly."

The young team leader looked strange for some unknown reason.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, people divide into groups." Bao Buqi, an old friend who came to seek refuge with Commander Kang, deceived his master just like Commander Kang. This has been verified from the circle of friends in the prayer book. She murmured in her heart, but she couldn't neglect the other party in her actions.

"In that case, sir, please come with me."

The servant was very wise and ordered the servants to hand over their weapons.

The main thing is sincerity!

Zhao Wei nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.

The waiter asked Zhao Wei about Kang Shi's whereabouts. He thought Kang Shi was also in Cunshan City, but was told that Kang Shi was still at the base camp.

This result exceeded the waiter's plan, and he looked slightly troubled.

He asked: "Why doesn't Kang Jishou join the army?"

Shen Tang's team was sloppy and had complicated members. The waiter expected that with Kang Jishou's background and talents, it was unlikely that he would be ignored.

But after he asked, he regretted that he was quick to talk. To be more serious, this problem was just spying on military intelligence. Fortunately, Zhao Wei didn't care about it, because the scribe in front of him was brought here with his family. How dare he have any bad intentions and not be punished?

"Commander Kang... is a little inconvenient..."

Zhao Wei answered vaguely.

Since she was an old friend of Commander Kang, there was no reason why she should not know the way of the other scholar as a scholar. She gave a few hints and understood everything.

But the waiter really doesn't understand.

But this does not prevent him from making the logic self-consistent through brainstorming.

Not long after, a group of people arrived at the foot of Cunshan City.

The waiter looked up at the towering city wall that seemed to be able to block out the sky and the sun, and then thought about the efforts Zheng Qiao had put into the defense of this city. The corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he felt a bit gloating.

Zheng Qiao, yes!

"Open the city gate!"

After Zhao Wei finished contacting the city guards, the city gate creaked and opened a gap that could allow carriages to pass through.

Entering the city, the waiter's heart dropped completely, which meant that their family was truly free from the threat of Zheng Qiao.

Zhao Wei arranged a temporary place to stay.

"Sir, would you like to meet my lord?"

Although this person was claiming to be defecting to his old friend Kang Shi, Military Advisor Kang was not here at the moment, so it was impossible to tell whether this was true or not. Zhao Wei couldn't allow people without verified identity to walk around the city at will. It was necessary to take him to meet his lord and go through the clearing.

The waiter said gratefully: "I can't get it."

Zhao Wei told them to wait in the small courtyard for communication.

He went to report to Shen Tang.

Upon hearing that Kang Shi's friends had come to seek refuge, Shen Tang subconsciously trembled: "Did Dawei find out how he was a scribe?"

Zhao Wei was almost speechless.

"I didn't ask anything..."

Not every literary scribe has the way of a scribe.

Shen Tang rubbed his temples with a headache and said, "Oh, it's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided... Just let him come."

I hope Ji Shou's circle of friends is more reliable than Yuan Liang's.

Shen Tang sent someone to invite the waiter. The waiter took a deep breath, straightened his clothes and appearance, and strode out of the small courtyard. But before he got halfway, he happened to see a very familiar profile face, and his right ankle almost staggered and sprained.

He barely managed to keep his figure steady so that he wouldn't be embarrassed.

But the action still attracted the attention of others.

Among them are Ning Yan and Ning Tunan.

Ning Yan looked at him, and he looked at Ning Yan, speechless.

The waiter opened his mouth after a long while: "You, are you Tunan?"

Ning Yan frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

It is a good thing to meet an old friend in a foreign country, but if the old friend is working under the enemy, the joy will be compromised.

The interactions between Ning Yan and the waiter were mainly concentrated when they were young students. After they got married, they had little contact. The occasional meeting was just a relationship between the two families. Ning Yan didn't know much about the waiter.

But in Xingning's words, he was barely decent.

Well, compared to Zheng Qiao.

Unexpectedly, the waiter stared blankly at the inscriptions hanging on Ning Yan's waist, as well as the literary aura emanating from her body. After a while, he pointed at Ning Yan with trembling fingers and said astonishingly: "Ning, Ning Tunan... …You, you, you are actually a man!”

Ning Yan: "..."

The waiter looked at her belly again.

He clearly remembered that Ning Yan was pregnant.

"M-how can a man get pregnant?"

What did his two classmates do behind his back!

Ning Yan put her fingers against the sword grid, unsheathed her sword a little, and said calmly: "Xie, don't say anything too outrageous!"
