The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 405
[Chapter 405 Cards]
“Cause trouble hahahaha cause trouble”
Sure enough, when the eldest young master of the Wu family heard this, he became a little excited again and laughed wildly twice.
Then, with red eyes, he stared at Manager Jiang in front of him and said coldly: “When he left me alone in Guangling City for more than ten years, why didn’t he think that I would cause trouble!?”
Manager Jiang heard this .
, was silent for a moment.
Then, he sighed, raised his eyes, looked at the eldest young master of the Wu family, and said: “I also have my difficulties. When the Tang family rose, my Wu family…”
“That’s enough, I don’t want to hear those nonsense words from you!”
Manager Jiang said. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the eldest young master of the Wu family: “My father doesn’t want me to go out, that’s okay.
I don’t have to go out, and I don’t have to cause trouble!
But, I want you to do something for me!”
Manager Jiang heard this After saying this, he looked at him and asked: “What’s the matter?”
“Help me kill a few people!”
Manager Jiang sighed secretly and asked: “Are those the original beggars?”
“Yes, I want to You kill them!”
The eldest young master of the Wu family roared with red eyes.
When Manager Jiang heard this, he looked hesitant. After a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the eldest young master of the Wu family. He nodded and said only one word: “Okay.”
Regarding Wu, one of the three major aristocratic families in Gusu City, For people, secretly getting rid of a few beggars from other places is as simple as crushing a few ants on the roadside.
But the problem is that these people are not ordinary beggars, they are beggars who have been protected by Tang Mansion.
Although I don’t know why the eldest son of Tang Mansion wanted to protect these beggars, he did.
Therefore, I cannot do it myself, or in other words, this matter cannot be handled by people from the Wu Mansion.
Manager Jiang walked out of the room with a gloomy expression, glanced behind him, and walked out of the courtyard.
On the other side, Liu Dong, with two other guards from the Fang Mansion, had arrived outside Gusu City.
As the most prosperous city in Jiangnan Province and even the entire Chu State, Gusu City has no such thing as a curfew.
Therefore, there is an endless stream of traders coming and going, and even at dusk, there is still an endless stream of carriages and horses on the official road.
Liu Dong stood in front of the city gate and looked at the busy traffic. For a moment, he even thought he was back in the capital.
After being in a daze for a moment, they found a place to sit down.
One of the guards took out a deck of cards from his arms and looked at the other two.
“A handful?”
“Okay, a handful!”
Liu Dong shouted with a smile before the other person spoke.
Ever since the young master invented playing cards, the way of entertainment for the guards of Fang Mansion has changed from chatting or bragging to playing landlords.
Of course, playing cards have been around for a long time, and there are many ways to play them in the capital.
But it’s hard for Qiu Ba like them to remember the rules of a Landlord, let alone other more complicated
gameplays .
“One to three!”
Liu Dong threw out two cards and threw them on the ground.
Just as the people next to him were about to catch up, they heard a voice coming from behind: “You sneaky people, what are you doing here?!” When
Liu Dong and the other three heard the voice, they all looked back and found that it was the soldiers guarding the city.
“Brothers are here to bask in the sun, why are they not allowed?”
Liu Dong stared at the soldier and said.
When he followed General Dingyuan on his southern and northern expeditions, he was originally a corps commander in the Guards Battalion, in charge of five pawns.
Even after leaving the military, the iron-blooded temperament in his body is still as strong as ever.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw the three of them, they felt a little shorter for a moment, and even subconsciously took a few steps back.
“It’s nothing, it’s the first time I saw them basking in the sun at the base of the city wall.”
When the soldiers guarding the city saw them, they immediately understood in their hearts that these were ruthless people who had seen blood, and they were immediately frightened.
These soldiers in Gusu City are completely different from the soldiers in the important border towns.
Most of these people came from poor families in the south and south of the Yangtze River. They joined the army because they could no longer survive. They had no ambitions or ideals to be shrouded in horse leather.
The geographical location of Gusu City is in the middle of the Chu Kingdom. It can be said that if the Chu Kingdom reaches the end of the country, the last remaining territory may be here.
Therefore, these guys never thought that one day they might go into battle to kill the enemy, and they spent their days on the school parade ground day after day.
Especially these guys who defend the city, they can occasionally bully the ordinary people who come into the city, but when they see these ruthless people crawling out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, no one dares to cause trouble.
The soldier who spoke initially wanted to use the common pretext of being “sneaky, like a spy from the enemy country” to get some money out of the hands of these people.
However, as soon as he saw them, he immediately understood that these people were not something he could afford to offend.
“It’s nothing, you guys can continue to show off.”
The soldier guarding the city waved his hand, turned around and left.
“Inexplicable”
Liu Dong muttered a few words, then squatted down and continued playing his game of Landlords.
After the two games, the sun gradually set, and the remaining light became darker and darker.
“Maybe I won’t be able to come today.”
Liu Dong looked up and said.
There were a few people and a few cars standing sparsely on the official road. Obviously, they couldn’t be the escort mentioned in the young master’s letter.
“Let’s go back first and come back tomorrow morning,”
Liu Dong said before getting up.
At this time, several soldiers guarding the city around him really gave up.
“Why don’t you play anymore? Keep playing!”
“Yeah, we haven’t seen enough
yet!” “What is this? Why have we never seen it before?”
Liu Dong and the other three heard the discussion coming from beside them, and they immediately , a sense of pride arises spontaneously.
“You haven’t seen it before, right? These are made by our young master. They are called playing cards. Every household in the capital must have a pair!”
One of the Fang Mansion guards said. When the soldiers next to
“Solitaire”
heard this, they all showed expressions of interest and came closer.
“Brother, do you have any extra playing cards here?”
After the man finished speaking, he seemed to feel bad, and added: “I don’t want it for free, I’ll give you money.”
“It’s just this one, and I won’t get any money for it. “
Liu Dong reached out and grabbed the cards, put them in his arms, looked at the young soldiers around him, and said, “I want to, my brother will bring you a few more decks from the capital next time, but don’t pay me any money
! It’s just a few pieces of paper, but it’s worth something!
That’s why we brothers are following the young master. We don’t need any money to get this thing. If others want to buy it, they should at least pay for it
.” He held out five fingers.
“Fifty cents?”
asked a soldier next to him.
“Five hundred coins!”
Liu Dong said loudly.
