Chapter 171: Grabbing Bones
As expected, at the gate of Dongling City, people were moving. On the notice board at the gate, there were portraits.
These portraits were lifelike, even the baby was painted vividly.
"Don't say it, this legendary world's most beautiful woman is indeed incomparable!"
"Even the Great Wei Emperor Xiao Yin is the most beautiful man, handsome and dignified, ordinary people really can't compare."
"I think the best-looking one is the child, didn't you notice? The child is extremely beautiful, look at the eyebrows, look at the expression, does he look like the lucky doll in the portrait?"
"I think this child is more beautiful than the lucky doll."
Yuan Hui walked in front of the portrait again and stood there.
"Hey, how can you be so rude? You are so tall, what are you doing standing in front?" someone shouted.
Yuan Hui turned his head, looked at the man and said, "I just took a look. I thought this portrait looks like me. I'm curious."
"How does it look like you? This is General Yuan of the Wei Dynasty. He was a fierce general of the Wei Dynasty in the past. I heard that he was defeated and ambushed a few years ago. After escaping, he went into the mountains to become a bandit. I don't know what means the new emperor of the Wei Dynasty used to make Yuan Hui obey him again."
"Hehe, you, don't flatter yourself. This portrait doesn't look like you at all. It's not related to you at all."
Yuan Hui was blasted. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Indeed, this portrait is more handsome than me. It turns out that General Yuan is such a handsome man!"
"I didn't expect General Yuan to be so interesting!" Dong Ju whispered with a smile.
"Okay, you guys, do you want to go into the city? If not, stay away and don't block the road." Someone was yelling from behind. "
Okay, let's go in now." Xiao Yue said, holding Xiao Yin's arm, and headed towards the city.
Baby Ruoxi's face was covered with a scarf, and she was sleeping.
"This child needs to be checked!" Someone yelled, waking up Baby Ruoxi, which made Baby Ruoxi feel a little unhappy.
"The child is asleep, so don't check it." Eunuch Gao said on the side.
"No, even if it's a child, it has to be checked." The guards guarding the city looked at the group of people and said, "Huh, didn't you bring your luggage?"
"Oh, I did!"
Here, Baby Ruoxi was about to get angry, and babies who were woken up will be in a bad mood when they get up!
However, soon, Dongju took out two silver coins and handed them over, saying, "Little brother, standing at the city gate, you are cold and tired. When you go down tonight, remember to buy some wine to warm yourself up."
"Okay, little brother, I know. You guys can go in quickly!" The guard put the silver coins in his clothes.
As the group entered the city, Xiao Yin glanced at Dongju as he walked, and Dongju was so scared that she tightened her neck like a quail.
"Dongju, where did you learn these?" Xiao Yue couldn't help asking.
"This..." Dongju scratched her head and said, "Doesn't everyone know this?"
"Only you can do it, but we can't." Aunt Jin said angrily.
"Madame Jin, please don't laugh at me. The guards are obviously not good people. They must want money. I just tried it. It's so convenient!" Dongju stamped her feet and said. "
No one blames you. We just think that you are in such a hurry to come to the city, and we don't know why." Xiaoyue said.
"Princess... Miss!" Dongju's face immediately turned red.
Everyone laughed and stopped teasing Dongju. They found a restaurant and stayed there first.
After all, baby Ruoxi had to eat rice porridge, and they had to fill their stomachs first.
The usual restaurant only booked a few private rooms.
"You know, the fire in the Prime Minister's Mansion was said to be very strange. The Minister of War went to the court and questioned many people, but no one admitted it."
"You are talking nonsense. If I go to your house tonight and set a fire, can I admit it if you ask me tomorrow?"
"Humph, you dare to do it but not to take responsibility!"
Xiao Yin was eating quietly, Xiao Yue and Nanny Jin were feeding Xiao Xier, Mo Jingce and Zhao Hong were sitting aside eating.
But Master Jing En was a little uneasy.
"No, this fire doesn't seem to be burned enough, we have to set another one." Master Jing En picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and muttered softly.
"..." Everyone's expression was speechless.
Of course, no one stopped him from setting the fire.
"This capital city is indeed prosperous." Walking on the streets of the capital city, Xiao Yue looked at the dazzling array of goods, and then looked at the people who were dressed slightly better, and said: "This is the color that a normal city should have."
It can be seen that this Beiling capital city is not good either, and the rich and the poor are very uneven.
There are many beggars on the streets, and there are many footmen walking barefoot in the winter.
However, there are some people who drive BMWs and luxury cars, and the sound of clinking glasses in restaurants and hotels.
The humming of the beautiful women in the brothels and the aroma of wine and meat attracted those little beggars. They were half-dressed, with empty eyes, but with a hint of desire.
"Pop!"
A bone was thrown out of the window of the restaurant.
"Ah, mine, mine!"
"Get out of the way, it's mine!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Many little beggars rushed forward, some of them were even twelve or thirteen years old, and they all tried to grab the chicken leg bones with some meat shreds. After a while, the sound of fists hitting flesh came into the ears, and several children who had fallen to the ground with blood all over their heads and faces came forward.
"...This is too much." Zhao Hong, who was walking beside Xiaoyue, clenched his fists.
"Stop!" Dong Ju couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward and grabbed one of the beggars, snatched the bone in his hand and threw it away: "You hurt someone, you know that? How old are you, bullying such a young child?"
"Who are you? You dare to snatch my bone, you are looking for death!" The twelve or thirteen-year-old beggar was angry, and he pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Dong Ju.
"Pah!"
Dongju grabbed the child, flicked her wrist, and threw him out, but the child's dagger fell into her hand.
"A begging child, a little beggar, is so cruel and carries a dagger? Are you going to rob someone you can rob?" Dongju shouted coldly. "
Hmph, what do you care? You dare to hit me?" The boy got up and looked at Dongju. He suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up, take her down, tie her up and give her to the master in the north to exchange for meat."
As he spoke, more than a dozen boys suddenly rushed out from all around, all of them looked to be in their teens. Even the boy who had just robbed the bones stood there.
The injured beggar with blood all over his face got up, and Dongju looked at the two children.
