I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 377
The head of the Zheng family came away from the dragon with a water knife...

Song You was thinking while eating cat ears.

Taizu Dayan was a very capable and courageous emperor, with a charismatic personality beyond the table. It should be hard for ordinary people to imagine. When he first started his army, many of his followers just had a meal with him or slept with him for the night After talking all night, he decided to entrust his wealth and life to him, to conspire with him for great things, and to live and die without regret.

And after the achievement of hegemony, Taizu Dayan also showed a rare mind. The group of founding fathers back then, among the founding fathers of all dynasties, was considered to be one of the rare ones who could die well.

Coupled with Song You's understanding of Great Yan Taizu through his Fuyang Patriarch, he is more willing to believe that the Zheng Family Patriarch died in battle and did not come back.

At that time, demons danced wildly in the world, all kinds of monsters and ghosts appeared, and even the gods were in chaos. The Zheng family presided over the water knife and went away from the dragon.

Judging rationally, Taizu Dayan would not murder him because of the water-dividing knife, and there is no need to murder him. The Patriarch of Fuyang is still there, and Taizu Dayan should and dare not do such a thing.

This is not important, what is important is where the water dividing knife belongs to after the death of the Patriarch of the Zheng family.

It may not necessarily fall into the hands of the royal family, but it may also fall into the hands of the people, or fall into the hands of demons.

If it was lost among the people, fell into the hands of demons, and finally went to Saibei, although the probability is not high, it is not impossible, but there is no need to explore it.

But if it falls into the royal hands...

Then it may flow into the Heavenly Palace following the changes in the Heavenly Palace and the replacement of gods in the early days of Dayan, or it may still remain in the hands of the mortal royals.

No wonder even Zhou Leigong didn't dare to say more...

If Tiangong handed over the water-dividing knife to the Saibei demons, Tiangong deserved to die this time. If it was done by the imperial court, it would be an unforgivable sin, whether it is a national teacher or an emperor.

Just what is their purpose?

From the corner of his eyes, Song You saw that the bowl in front of Mistress Sanhua was already empty, and the cat seemed to see that he was thinking and doubting, so he didn't say anything, just sat down and stared at him.

Song You picked up the spoon and continued to fill her up. This simple action did not delay thinking.

Let another war break out in the north, so as to take down Saibei in one fell swoop?
Or let this war last longer and kill more people, so as to promote the cohesion of the underworld and catch up with the aging emperor?
Or let yourself go a little longer in the north?
Or...

If it is true that they use the ability of the emperor and the national teacher, the purpose may not be purely one, and it is also possible to achieve multiple purposes with one plan.But if this is really the case, Song You has to suspect that other monsters in the Saibei Army may also be related to them. It just so happens that some of the monsters in the Saibei Army are in the territory of Dayan.

It's just that they didn't know if they expected that the monsters in Saibei didn't last long in their hands, and the flood gathered by the water knife at the right time and place didn't make things difficult for him. Got this water splitter.

To put it simply, there are actually coincidences.

At this moment, the light ahead dimmed.

Song You looked up, and saw a group of warriors with knives and sticks coming in from the door, wearing dusty clothes and covering their faces with cloth, and behind them was a carriage with dart flags on it.

It looks like a team of bodyguards.

This team of bodyguards seems to be regular visitors to this inn. The first few people came in casually, and the people behind them drove the carriage to the horse station in the backyard without being greeted by the inn. A strong and strong man walked in the front. The bearded man shouted: "It's still the same, ten bowls of cat's ears, and another pot of meat."

"okay……"

"Why is this cat eating at the table? Is this a place for people to eat or for cats?" A strong man behind the beard frowned and asked, turning his head to look at Song You and Sanhua Mao.

The three-flowered cat also raised its head and stared straight at them.

"Forget it..."

The bearded man turned his head and said, seeing the Taoist robe on Song You, he didn't want to cause trouble.

"Oh, don't worry about it, sir. The cats in this gentleman's house are very clean and obedient. They use the bowls they brought with them. They are also regular customers. How can there be such beautiful bowls in this small shop?" The shopkeeper hurriedly Standing up to smooth things over, obviously defending Song You, "Plus the diligence of the little old man, don't you know how many people, no matter who is sitting on the table, it must be wiped clean."

A few people followed his words and looked down.

It was only then that I saw that the small bowl used by the cat was not only obviously different from the thick bowl used in the store, but also was made of exquisite blue and white, crystal clear like jade, transparent and not leaking, extremely beautiful, a visible art and precious .

This bowl is worth a lot of money.

Until Song You picked up Empress Sanhua's bowl and put it on the bench next to her.

Mistress Sanhua is naturally very clean, but others don't know that it is really against the rules for cats to serve the table. I also did this when I saw that there was no one else in the store and asked the store owner before. It is normal for others to be unhappy, no wonder others.

"Grievance Sanhua Empress..."

The cat was very sensible, without saying a word, it got off the table and stood on the bench, but it still stood up straight, with its front paws on the table, with a small face, staring at the few people without blinking.

On the contrary, the bearded man who looked a little older said to Song You with a smile: "Brother is young and straight-tempered, sir, don't take offense..."

"I'm being rude."

Song You also smiled at him.

Dayan people respect Taoists and monks very much, but according to Song You’s observation, the older, the richer, the more high-status, the more respect they have for Taoists and monks, younger people, and people who practice martial arts There should be less respect for Taoists and monks, and the details are quite interesting.

"Empress Sanhua, eat quickly."

Song You stroked his cat's head.

Sanhua Mao turned his head and stared at him for a while, then at the bodyguards over there for a while, and then at Song You, then lowered his head and continued to eat.

The rest of the bodyguards who drove the carriage to the backyard also came back one after another. Song You counted them, and there were only eight of them. It seemed that there were two left over there to watch the goods. It can be said that they were very professional.

Song You looked at them while eating.

Empress Sanhua also straightened up from the bench from time to time, stretched her neck, and glanced in that direction.

Some of the bodyguards also looked at them.

Until ten bowls of cat ears came up one after another.

This group of bodyguards was very particular, the first two bowls served were given to the brothers on guard, and then their own. When the meat cooked by the shop was served, they were served to the outsiders first.

The warrior ate very vigorously, and soon there was a sound of "sighing" in the shop, almost gobbling.

Song You had almost finished eating.

He took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, counted them carefully, and lined them up on the table.

"Store, pay the bill."

"coming!"

The shopkeeper came over, took the copper coins casually, and took them into his arms. After counting them, he found that there were a lot of pennies, and then he raised his head and smiled at him: "Sir, the little old man also helped to wash the dishes?"

Song You actually wanted to agree.

It's just that my cat cherishes this sky-high priced bowl dedicated to her very much, and it has been used for hundreds of years. Usually, if she is in human form, she must wash the bowl herself. Even if she is not in human form, Song You can only do it for her. She washed it, but she still had to watch it from the side, for fear of breaking it.

So Song You had no choice but to say to the shopkeeper:
"This bowl is expensive and easy to break. The store lends me a stove to use. I'll just wash it."

"Good talk good talk..."

The shopkeeper took him to the kitchen for a walk.

When Song You came out, the bowl was clean, he shook off the water in the bowl, and put it back into Mistress Sanhua's bag, then went out to meet the eyes of several bodyguards.

Mao'er followed closely behind him, turning his head while walking, looking at the bodyguards behind him.

The owner of the inn is very old, and opening an inn here, welcoming and sending off, has a natural advantage in seeing and hearing. Hearing, listening to both will make you bright, and listening to one side will make you dark.

So Song You went to other places to inquire a few times.

Basically the same as what the store said, the most details are different, but they are roughly similar.

This kind of story has indeed been passed down here for hundreds of years.

In the end, Song You even came to the east of the city, outside the mansion of the Zheng family, the descendant of Bo Shu, who is now the largest family in Zhengxi.

The Zheng family's mansion is very large, not far from the county government office, the location is quiet, surrounded by a few alleys, few people pass by, so Song You stood in this alley with a bamboo stick, separated by a long The white wall, listening to the sound of children running wildly in the yard separated by the wall, there are adults playing with the children, it seems extremely happy.

In front is the main gate of Zheng's family, but no one enters or exits.

Song You stood and listened for a while, silent for a long time, still did not disturb them, just continued to walk.

The cat followed him closely, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one there, so it trotted closer to him, stretched out a paw to grab his trouser leg, and said in a low voice:
"Taoist priest……"

"what happened?"

"The group of people just now..."

"Which group?"

"The group at mealtime!"

"Have you made Mistress Sanhua unhappy?"

"No!" Cat looked up at him and said, "They smell like stinky rats, but they don't!"

"Ok?"

Song You paused, then looked down at her: "Is it the smell in the ghost town?"

"correct!"

"..."

Song You looked at her for a moment, and then suddenly smiled: "I said that Empress Sanhua used to be a cat god, and there are a lot of big cats, so I will definitely not get angry with them because of such a trivial matter."

"?"

Mao'er tilted his head to look at him, as if he had experienced Song You's feeling for the first time, and couldn't figure out how his brain circuit turned.

But she quickly replied:
"correct!"

The voice is small, but the tone is sure.

Just at this time, someone came from the alley, who seemed to be either rich or expensive, and came to visit Zheng's house with a gift.

Song You stopped talking and continued to move forward.

Passing by the door of Zheng's house and hearing them talking, he hardly stopped, until the man entered Zheng's house, the door of Zheng's house was closed again, and the alley returned to a quiet and deserted state, and the cat continued. Run a little ahead of the Taoist, turning to look at him while walking.

"Then what do you do?"

"Let's go back and talk."

"Empress Sanhua smelled it. The smell came from the carriage they transported. Empress Sanhua can sneak in to have a look."

"That's impolite."

"Then sneak in and take a look!"

"Not polite."

"Then ask the swallow to see it!"

The cat took small, small steps, but kept turning its head and staring at him, seemingly resolute.

"let's discuss it later."

Song You smiled slightly and walked out of the alley.

The cat stopped talking.

After a while, the swallow flew over and landed on the Taoist's shoulder, chattering with him about what he had seen and heard inside.

Slowly walking back to the remote town of the inn, it was not the peak season for travel, except for Song You and his party, there were still only a group of bodyguards in the inn.

The cat's ears I ate at noon were really good, and Song You ordered another bowl. Mistress Sanhua was afraid that she would accidentally overturn the bowl after eating too much fermented glutinous rice, and might break it. Continuing to eat fermented glutinous rice eggs, Song You was also afraid that she would eat too much and get bored in a short time, so she didn't give her some, but when she proposed to skip dinner and catch mice to eat at night in order to save money, Song You still asked the store to prepare for her. She ordered two raw eggs in her bowl for her supper.

Under the light of the oil lamp, the exquisite blue-and-white porcelain, which represents the top craftsmanship of this era, shows an astonishing beauty. It seems to be hollowed out, but it can hold water, which cannot be faked.

A group of escorts watched in amazement.

Go upstairs after eating, wash and sleep.

……

Ask for a monthly pass!
