Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 439 Lazy and Gluttonous
Li Canghai couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and thought to himself, this princess is really an arrogant person, but she didn't know that the current emperor of Tang Dynasty put all his heart on Yang Yuhuan, so how could he favor her?
"Nonsense! The princess is really messing around!" Conan's face trembled with anger, but he had nothing to do, so he could only stomp his feet resentfully.

"Brother Conan calm down, the most important thing right now is to quickly stop the fat guards, save other tributes for the time being, and make another plan later!" Li Canghai comforted.

Conan sighed helplessly, he thought for a moment, nodded and said: "This is the only way to go now."

After saying this, Li Canghai and Conan left the shrine and went to the place where the tribute was stored.

The fat guard and the cook were holding the torch, and they were hesitating, discussing whether to set it on fire.

When Conan saw this, he was startled, rushed up, stopped the two of them, and managed to keep the tributes.

"From now on, I want you to guard these tributes every step of the way! If there is any mistake, I only ask you!" Conan shouted to the fat guard angrily.

The fat guard was also quite depressed, he nodded sullenly, then sat down next to the tributes, took out a dried fish from his arms and gnawed on it.

Conan felt a little depressed. After bowing his hands to Li Canghai and saluting, he said he wanted to relax and left the shrine.

Li Canghai guarded Wanyu outside the door until the sun was about to set. Li Canghai felt a little hungry, so he ran to the backyard to find the cook to get some food.

The backyard is a cliff platform, and the cook's pot and stove are supported on the cliff platform.

At this time, the cook was cleaning wild vegetables, and he was still muttering non-stop.

"I thought that when I came to Datang, I could make a fortune, and then find a secluded place to live without worrying about those beatings and killings. I didn't know that the money was not made, but I was living in this wasteland where no shit. I have to serve these ancestors every day, what a damn bad luck!" The cook kept cursing to himself while cleaning up the wild vegetables. Authentic: "A slacker, an evil ghost, and a princess who can't be served well at all. I must have been out of my mind to agree to come with the boat!"

He started to scold on his own, and didn't notice Li Canghai came to him at all.

Li Canghai coughed twice, the cook was startled and sat down on the ground.

"Brother Cook, what did you mutter about just now?" Li Canghai asked with a smile.

The cook's expression was a little unnatural, he hurriedly said: "No, it's nothing, I'm... choosing wild vegetables!"

As he said that, the cook hurriedly picked up the wild vegetables and started choosing in a panic.

Li Canghai smiled and said, "Brother cook, it's really not easy for you to be in charge of so many people's meals by yourself, hard work, hard work!"

"What's the use of hard work?" The cook snorted angrily, and said, "I'm a cook, and cooking is my job, but I'm not a slave. I'm not only responsible for cooking, but also for feeding They sent it! Damn it, really hateful!"

Li Canghai rubbed his nose and said, "Why, don't they come and pick up the cooked food?"

"The others are alright, but there are a few of them, it's simply too difficult to serve them! These days I serve them like my ancestors, and I haven't seen them give me a few taels of silver?" the cook said angrily.

"Oh? Brother cook, if you don't mind, can you tell me?" Li Canghai moved a stone, then sat in front of the cook, and asked casually while helping him choose dishes.

The cook seems to have been suppressed for a long time, and finally someone is willing to listen, how could he not?So he said angrily: "Let's talk about the skinny guard first. Since the beginning of boarding the boat, that guy has looked like he hasn't woken up. Those who don't know the truth will say that he is honest, but everyone who knows him knows that he is not To be honest, it’s lazy! Surprisingly lazy! You may not believe it when you say it, that guy eats lazily, moves lazily, and even undresses lazily! Even if the meal is served in front of him, he doesn’t even bother to open his mouth! Even if others Talk about him, he is lazy! I have never seen such a lazy person!"

Hearing the words, Li Canghai felt a little funny, and said, "There are such lazy people in this world?"

The cook spat and scolded in a low voice: "Who said it wasn't! In fact, when we encountered a storm at sea, we escaped safely, but later we encountered pirates, so we panicked and caused the ship to sink. That guy, if he is a little smarter, we will be able to spot the pirates, and we won’t be able to hit the rocks and sink the ship! Maybe, now that I’ve made a fortune in Datang, why would I be trapped in this ghostly place?”

Li Canghai thought for a while, and felt that what the cook said made sense. From what he observed, the skinny guard was indeed a lazy person.

He was too lazy to move, too lazy to open his eyes, and he didn't even bother to speak when Conan asked him a question.

"This skinny guard is really lazy." Li Canghai said.

Then the cook scolded: "I really don't know how this lazy man grows up. If he was my son, I would have killed him! Raising him is so big, it's better to raise a pig, at least he can sell some money. But He's an out-and-out slacker!"

Li Canghai smiled, and said: "Brother cook, calm down, this lazy man will be punished by God, what do you care about him?"

The cook curled his lips and continued: "There is also the fat guard. He alone can feed three people. It is good that there is enough food on the boat, but what is there to eat on this deserted island? In this forest There are quite a few animals, but there are many dangers, who dares to go in? I finally hunted a wild boar, which has little meat, but the fat man yelled all day long that he didn’t have enough to eat, saying that I deliberately withheld his rations and went to the princess. Then sue me!"

The cook paused, picked up the weed, opened his mouth and took a bite, and said angrily as he chewed, "This fat man is just a reincarnation of a starving ghost! Yesterday, I risked my life to sneak back to the sunken ship and retrieved some dried fish. I wanted to use these to make a fish feast for the princess, but who would have thought that the fat man stole them all and ate them all up! As a result, we only have these wild vegetables now!"

Li Canghai sighed, and said puzzledly: "It's not easy, Big Brother Cook! However, I'm a little curious, like these two, one is so lazy and the other is so greedy, why did you choose them to go with you?"

The cook looked around and found no one around, so he lowered his voice and said angrily, "Who knows, the princess asked them to accompany them. These two were originally the princess' bodyguards, so I don't know how the princess can bear them!"

"The princess let them accompany?" Li Canghai was a little surprised.

The cook tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I heard that it is the princess's maid, Ling Ji, who is the one who encouraged the princess to bring these two guys. You said that one of these two guys is lazy and the other is greedy. What use are they going with them besides wasting food? If they are really in danger, I'm afraid these two people will run faster than anyone else, and they will do their best to protect the princess, I don't believe it!"
