Chapter 41 Assassin
Cheng Zhubo had not even washed his face, his cheeks were red, his eyes were half open, and his eyelids were drooping.
He bowed and said, "I will receive them, Your Majesty, there is no need to show up."
Jinsui is very satisfied with this point about Cheng Zhubo. His attitude towards work is that I will never shirk my job, even if it means risking my life.
But I still have to catch the fish that I should catch, I have to criticize my colleagues when I should, and don’t order me to do things that are not my job.
You may like to drink, but drinking doesn’t affect your work.
Compared with the workplace in later generations, our Chief Cheng learned to lie down a thousand years earlier.
Jinsui naturally agreed and took Heihu to the military farm to see the wasteland that had been cleared by the ten families selected by Captain Liu.
She took out a sack of potatoes and a sack of sweet potatoes from the space in advance and asked Heihu to carry them, and she carried a basket of tomatoes herself.
In order to save seeds, she got up in the middle of the night and went into the space, and finally saved enough seeds to plant ten acres of land.
Captain Liu came to meet them happily, pointing to a large field and saying, "Your Highness, look, I had the field plowed three times and the ditches dug."
Hei Hu squatted down and touched the soil and said with a smile: "This is not planting crops, but planting flowers! Look at the even soil."
Jinsui asked him to call all ten families, all of whom were honest farmers. They were excited and proud to be chosen to farm for the prince.
Show them three crops and tell them how to grow them.
For potatoes, you have to cover them to sprout first, then cut them into pieces according to the sprout point, roll them in some wood ash and plant them.
Sweet potatoes need to be raised as seedlings first, and then planted through grafting. It is better to plant sweet potatoes in semi-sandy soil.
Tomatoes also need to be grown as seedlings first, and the seeds must be picked out. Tomato stems can also be planted. There are not many seeds, so they cannot be wasted.
The shaved tomato pulp was taken to the kitchen and cooked into tomato soup, enough for everyone in the camp to have a bowl of.
As she spoke, she asked them what they didn't understand. How to mix fertilizer and water? How to dig ridges for sweet potatoes? At first, everyone was a little reserved, but it was obvious that the prince was so familiar with farming. The three new crops were precious, so they were afraid that they would grow them badly, so they asked boldly.
Captain Liu was afraid that someone might have missed something, so he called in many soldiers who had been stationed in the fields to listen and take notes together.
One of them caught Jinsui’s attention. This middle-aged man had naturally curly hair and it was obvious that some of his elders had Hu ancestry.
He had a beard, a round face, deep eye sockets and yellowish eyes.
That would have been fine, but his speech was unclear, as if his tongue was shortened.
He spoke in a loud and gibberish voice, and his questions were all "translated" to Jinsui by others.
Jin Sui couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this. If this man changed into white clothes and put on a small hat, he would be simply 'Crazy Dave'!
He asked Captain Liu with a smile: "Is this the expert in farming among you?"
Captain Liu was surprised and said, "Your Highness, have you figured it out? Niu Da is indeed the best among us. His fields produce the most crops every season."
Jin Sui's belly was filled with sadness. Crazy Dave is not a good plant grower, and his brain will be eaten by zombies.
It was not until dusk that she solemnly handed the three crops to Captain Liu.
They agreed that she would come back to check on the seedling situation in three days, but if they had any questions during this period, they could come to her at any time.
When she and Hei Hu returned to the Black Feather Camp, they saw Cheng Yu standing on a high place, drinking the gourd of wine hanging from his waist while looking at the returning team in the distance.
At dusk, the wind at the frontier was very strong, blowing his clothes into pieces, giving him the temperament of a bohemian poet.
I saw that his face looked a little solemn and his brows were furrowed.
Hei Hu whispered, "Captain Cheng is unhappy. Be careful that he gets drunk and mad."
Jin Sui asked with a smile: "Why did he get drunk and crazy?"
"She sang and danced, and even asked others to sing with her. She once asked Brother Han to sing with her all night, and she even made him cry."
Jinsui burst into laughter. He could accept such drunken madness.
She stepped forward and asked, "Master Cheng, is the task assigned by Governor Li too difficult?"
Cheng Yu put the cork in the gourd and lowered his voice, "The mission is not difficult. It is the same as before, cleaning up the silt in the river. This makes me feel that he has not figured out how to mess with the Black Feather Camp."
"But something's wrong."
Jin Sui asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
He pointed at the team: "There were forty people when we came here, but there are only thirty-five on this return trip. Five people are missing."
Jinsui glanced at the team where he could no longer see any figures. The people were pulling donkey carts and the team looked extremely long.
I admire Cheng Yu's attentiveness. He even counted the number of people.
Cheng Yu chuckled and said, "I don't have any other abilities, but I was born with an ability to tell the number of people or things at a glance."
"When I was young, I was better. I was right nine times out of ten within a thousand. My eyesight isn't very good now, but as a human being, I can't be wrong within a hundred."
Jinsui was greatly surprised, this is simply a mathematical genius!
Thinking of this, she asked, "Master Cheng is truly a man of extraordinary talent! How did such a great talent come to a small place like the border?"
Cheng Zhubo glanced at her and said, "Your Majesty has the talent to govern the country, why did you come to the border town?"
The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Hei Hu didn't know what they were laughing at, so he laughed too. After he finished laughing, he asked, "Are the five missing people left for us to do the work?"
Jin Sui just thought of the important matter, she hurriedly said: "Don't make it public, Chief Cheng, you are familiar with the camp, go and investigate quietly with Captain Han."
Cheng Zhubo nodded and asked, "What is this person here for? Does Your Majesty have any idea?"
Jin Sui snorted, "How could I not know? They have chased me all the way here from Chang'an. They will not stop until I die."
Hei Hu was startled and hurried to take Jin Sui back to the camp to protect him.
Cheng Yu warned him: "Hei Hu, you must not leave the prince's side, no matter who calls you."
It was already dark when Jinsui returned to his room in the camp. This room was the most luxurious one in the entire camp, but it was just three tiled rooms with two side rooms and a large yard.
Usually Jinsui sleeps in the east bedroom, Heihu or Hanxing sleeps in the side room, and the west bedroom is her study, which can be considered an office.
We were having tomato soup in the camp tonight. It was the first time for many people to eat it. They were curious and happy, and they all surrounded the few people from the field-hoarding army and asked when the tomatoes would be planted.
Seeing that the prince and Hei Hu had not come to eat, and Captain Han and Chief Clerk Cheng were nowhere to be found, Chief Clerk Wei personally served the food and brought it over.
After Jinsui took it, he and Heihu finished eating quickly, and did not keep Wei Zhubo, asking him to go and rest quickly.
Wei Zhubo was unwilling to leave and insisted on talking to her about writing the memorial.
He took out the half-written memorial and read it to her. The rhythm and wording were gorgeous, and it was as if he had written a memorial to report his safety as an essay for the Spring Examination.
Jin Sui couldn't stand it anymore and was afraid that the assassin would come at any time, so he used the excuse of going to the toilet to enter the space to get weapons.
The tear gas used before is a good thing, take it.
I copied another machete for Grandpa Ling and took it.
He also took two small knives for tools and hid them next to his boots, and Gu Changxiao hid his dagger in his sleeve.
Still feeling unsafe, and remembering that Black Tiger was an excellent archer, she took out some strong anesthetic and prepared to apply it on Black Tiger's arrowhead.
Then Wei Zhubo saw that after she came out of the toilet, she was holding a bunch of strange things in her hands.
Without giving him a chance to ask questions, he said directly to Hei Hu: "Take all your arrows and apply this medicine to them."
Black Tiger's eyes lit up: "Is this the legendary poison that kills instantly upon contact with blood?"
Jin Sui was speechless: "Yes, yes, apply it carefully, don't be careful to poison yourself."
She applied the paint on her dagger. At this time, Han Xing brought a dozen soldiers over. Without saying anything, they looked for a hiding place in the yard.
He came over and said, "Your Highness, please hide in the cellar. Those thieves are very cunning. I don't know where they are hiding. Chief Secretary Cheng said they will definitely come here. Let's wait and see."
Wei Zhubo realized something was wrong and was so scared that he broke into a sweat: "My Lord, what's going on?"
Jin Sui helplessly spread his hands: "I told you to go but you refused. Now you can't go. If you go out, you will definitely run into thieves. Find a place to hide!"
Then he said to Han Xing: "What's the point of me hiding? They won't show up unless they see me. Rather than waiting to die, it's better to lure the enemy with myself!"
We are familiar with this job. Our specialty is to be a stand-in and lure the enemy with ourselves.
I beg for good reviews! Thank you, babies
