Chapter 44
"San Niang hasn't come for a while, I heard that your grandfather is back, would you like to come out?"

"San Niang eats noodles, I've made new toppings, you can try it for me, but what's wrong?"

"That day when Duan went home, I saw them all. There were so many people! It was like playing with a dragon. It scared my baby to tears!"

Duan Yi smiled and waved her hands, "I don't want to eat, I'll eat it some other day! I'm going to see Lao Jia today, if I don't get any meat, he will drive me out!"

The hawkers around laughed.

Under the wine flag, an old man in blue shorts laughed the loudest, "Don't grab me today. Old Jia likes to drink my highland barley wine and eat my mother-in-law's stewed meat. Sanniang is still old. Does it look like it?"

As he said, he started to cut the meat with a knife, "Sanniang doesn't speak the official dialect, but Jincheng dialect? Everyone speaks the official dialect!"

Duan Yi took money out of her pocket, put it on the table, took the meat wrapped in lotus leaves from the old man, picked up the wine, tied it to the horse's back, and said while tying it, "I'm afraid I'm speaking official language, Mr. Chen, you are too scared to accept my money, then I will eat for nothing!"

The old man surnamed Chen laughed again, "Who knows how to get free food? I dare not go to Qingyun Lane to ask for money, but I dare to ask Lao Jia for money!"

Duan Yi waved her hands amusedly, and led Chaofeng, "Let's go!"

Leaving this alley, turned two corners, and arrived in front of a single-family house.

In front of the yard stood an old wooden man, with his teeth bared and his mouth looking very perky. The wooden body had been cracked after years of beating, and it looked crumbling.

The door was open, and there was a lot of noise inside.

Duan Yi tied Chaofeng, and as soon as he entered the door, a long spear stabbed towards him obliquely. A man in his thirties, who was half in armor and with a straw hanging from his mouth, attacked fiercely.

Duan Yi raised her hand and turned, and the power of the spear was removed in an instant.

The man spat out the grass in his hand, stepped forward to take the meat in Duan Yi's hand, and shouted, "I smelled the meat from a long distance away, so I knew Duan San was here, what are you still doing? Carry the palanquin for our Xiangye's granddaughter!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy yelled at him, "Old Jia, what are you talking about? There's only Duan San here. There's no such thing as a grandpa and granddaughter who don't care about shit."

He evidently seldom joked, and blushed when he did.

The man called Lao Jia patted him on the shoulder, "Su Yun, you don't even have full hair, and you have learned how to protect the Lord like others."

All the soldiers in the yard burst into laughter.

The young man named Su Yun straightened his armor, and immediately ran to Duan Yi, "Duan San, I have been learning kung fu from Lao Jia for a few days, if you want to fight, you have to take me to the battlefield! "

"They all said that you are going to get married, maybe you are going to marry the prince! What's so great about the prince? I was also a prince before, and I didn't see any superhuman beings born. The envoy is already on the way. Count the time, God is not You can go back to Jincheng."

Lao Jia opened the lotus leaf bag, and the soldiers rushed up to eat meat, but Su Yun was the only one who talked around Duan Yi.

"Duan San, there is nothing good in the inner house. My aunt has a whole house of people to take care of her, but she is still unhappy, and finally died."

Seeing that he was anxious, Duan Yi smiled, secretly took out a separate lotus leaf bag, and handed it to Su Yun.

Su Yun took a look, and was immediately happy. His eyes were shining, as if he had fallen into the starlight.

"Giving the lonely little prince another meal, Duan San, you are too partial!"

Before the meat was eaten, Lao Jia came over with a wine cup. He put away his disfigured appearance and leaned over, "But what happened? It's not that I want to be a noble lady for a few days, and I don't want to eat it anymore. Are you here?"

Duan Yi reached out and took a lump of stewed meat from the lotus leaf bag that Su Yun opened, chewed it, took the wine cup from Jia Canjun's hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Su Yun is right. There is nothing good in the inner house. I want to be a granddaughter of Taiping. I don't know. Everyone calls me unfair. If this continues, I might be spoiled by others. When this meat is packaged sent out."

Lao Jia frowned, "It's not like you! You are the only one who is deceiving others. No one else can beat you."

Duan Yi shook her head. It is easy to hide a sharp spear but difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. The twists and turns of the inner house are so annoying.

In the past few days, she should have figured it out, and she has already figured it out.

It is the best policy to stay the same and respond to all changes, but when the news from the capital came, the water in the stall seemed to be stirred up with a big stick, and the boating on the lake immediately turned into a torrent.

"After eating meat and drinking wine, there is a big ticket, do you want to do it or not?"

Jia Canjun's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands, and said excitedly, "What are you doing? Looting houses? Or occupying the mountain as king?"

Duan Yi gave him a contemptuous look, "Can you think of something else?"

Jia Canjun shook his head, and pointed to Su Yun who was eating meat, "It's impossible for a son of a bandit not to mention robbing his house, just like a down-and-out prince not to mention his father."

Seeing this, Su Yun interrupted him dissatisfiedly, "Don't mess around, listen to Duan San's business."

Jia Canjun glared at Su Yun, but got serious, "Say it."

"You release the news that my grandfather is about to return to the city, and make it clear that he came back with Ming Rui. The enemy army in the border city is watching, and the Jiannan army can't get away and go back to Jincheng. Only a small team of troops will protect each other."

"The East Palace has been abolished, and the status of the third prince and the fifth prince is not the same as before. They didn't have to fight before, and they can gradually figure out how to deal with Jiannan. But now it's different. Whoever wins this city first will win the battle." Added a bargaining chip to enter the East Palace."

The prince was abolished, but the emperor did not only have two sons left.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away, who knows what else will happen?Neither of these two will stay in Jincheng for too long. They definitely want to cut through the mess quickly and return to Beijing quickly with meritorious service.

"The news just arrived at Qingyun Lane, when they were overjoyed. When grandfather enters the city tomorrow, it will not be easy to assassinate him. If I were them, they would definitely not miss this opportunity."

Jia Canjun was horrified when he heard the words, he walked into the room quickly, and seeing Duan Yi following in, he just lowered his voice and said, "Grandma, the outside door is not closed, why are you talking about such things in the yard?" Something big is coming."

"This is a dangerous move by the army, can Mr. Qi agree? Just in case... I mean just in case..."

Duan Yi shook her head, "There's no chance. How many people they brought here, your eyes can see clearly. If you want to sneak people into Jincheng, it's not a day's work."

"If blood can be avoided, who wants to risk their lives? Although the surface has not been torn, you and I know that from the day my uncle died, it is impossible for us in Jiannan Road to be killed by anyone. win over."

"Since this tough battle is going to be fought sooner or later, it's better to kill some first. Only those who are shameless can win, and those who are shameless can only smash their teeth and swallow their blood, and take this boring loss forcefully."

"Besides, if they have the right mind and don't intercept and kill them, then we will be invincible, right?"

Jia Canjun gritted his teeth, "Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who is so upright that he is reluctant to lure the enemy? I am obviously the kind of person who is so despicable and shameless that you want to kick me out of the Jiannan Army." people."

"If Duan San wanted to use a beauty trick, I would go bare-chested without hesitation. I would like to take the initiative, but I don't have a tiger talisman. Who will listen to my orders?"
