In recent days, many strange faces have appeared around the palace of Bukhanna, which made Seiner very sensitive.
As the captain of the palace guard, he has the responsibility to ensure the absolute safety of His Majesty the King and the royal family members. Although it is impossible for these strangers to approach the north gate of the palace, he is accustomed to nip in the bud and nip all signs of danger in the cradle
.
Many sentinels came to report that some excited merchants gathered together to curse the newly promulgated government decree, and even made rude remarks to His Majesty the Great King. Seiner suspected that these strange faces were from these out-of-control merchants, so he strengthened his control of the North City Royal Palace.
Patrol alert.
There are certainly reasons why merchants lose control of their emotions.
A few days ago, at the instigation of the great eater Nasser, His Majesty the King promulgated a new tax law called Zakat. This tax law, which only targets the rich, especially businessmen, is obviously very unfair. To be fair,
The merchants in Khana City are extremely courteous and kind to others. Except for a few rat excrements, almost no one would hoard goods and drive up prices.
It is really unfair to charge them such a high tax. After all, their money is hard-earned, so why should they be deprived of it for no reason?
Of course, from the perspective of the captain of the palace guard, he cannot sympathize with these miserable traders. Facing these potentially dangerous elements, he can only use the scimitar in his hand to deter them.
However, after the patrols and vigilance were strengthened, the private complaints of the soldiers increased significantly. The monthly salary distributed by the palace remained unchanged, but everyone was asked to patrol hard, and even individuals would feel resentful. We are not Tianfang soldiers, and we can't do what Nasser said.
He has no desires or desires. The beautiful scenery of heaven he describes is too far away and too illusory, and it is obviously not attractive to ordinary people, old and young, like you.
You have your dream of heaven, and I have my comfort zone; you preach to me the sacredness of the Quran, but I am buried in the pile of silver coins and do not move away; you risk life and death on the battlefield to spread the teachings of Allah, and I just want to support my wife and children.
Surviving life in troubled times...
Everyone has different life backgrounds, different cultural atmospheres, and different choices. Don’t look down on anyone!
"Team Sai, Team Sai, my brothers can finally take turns tonight. We are all grateful for your support over the years, and we are going to set up a banquet to express our gratitude to you!" A guard with a red goatee stood on tiptoe.
He walked up to Saerner and said with a smile on his face.
"Oh? It's rare that you still have such thoughts. Anyway, after my shift tonight, I will go and have fun with you." Saen'er half-squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and nodded.
Goatee chuckled: "Look what you said, don't forget the well diggers when you are in trouble, how can we all have your support today if we don't all?"
Sain'er is his immediate boss. With his favor, it is impossible for his career to go smoothly!
"I like to hear this!" Seiner patted Goatee's shoulder and said, "But I have to go to Sabol's house for a drink. He has fine grape wine produced in Gaochang. I'm so busy these days that I can't drink anything.
The wine bug in my belly started crawling out again."
"Go wherever you say, brothers all listen to you!"
Goatee's mouth felt like honey, and every sentence he said touched Seiner's heart, making him feel extremely happy.
At this time, the sound of soft footsteps sounded nearby. Along with the sound of wheels rolling on the bluestone road and the muffled roar of the old scalper, a man wearing a brown animal skin jacket appeared in front of the guards.
middle-aged man.
“The blessings of Allah be upon you!”
During this period of time, Seiner could guess the identity of the person in front of him without raising his head.
"The blessings of Allah are also on you! Udyr, you are late today!"
Sainer stepped forward and patted his old friend on the shoulder and said: "If you had come a little later, you probably wouldn't have seen me. These guys are going to invite me to a drink tonight, and I'm planning to hand over to the deputy team.
.”
What he said is true. According to the palace's schedule, he does not need to be on duty at night. If Udyr comes a little later, he may really leave early.
"That's it, that's it, you are a busy man in the city of Bukhan, and you have no time to spare!" Udyr is a businessman, and his ability to observe people's emotions is naturally first-class. At this moment, he saw that Thain'er was in a good mood, and he also
It was postponed as he wished.
"Well." Thaern walked to the bullock cart and picked up the cotton cloth. Although Udyr has been delivering vegetables to the palace for more than ten years, and he and he have been old friends for many years, inspection cannot be omitted.
.You must know that if there is an assassin hiding in the bullock cart, his negligence may have irreversible consequences.
After some inspection, of course the assassin did not find that the oxcart only contained a variety of colorful vegetables.
Seiner nodded with satisfaction and was about to turn around and walk back when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a man wearing a turban behind the bullock cart.
Big cannibal? Wasn't it always Knock who was pushing the bullock cart? Why was it suddenly replaced by a big cannibal?
"He is?" Seiner frowned and immediately became vigilant.
"Hey, Nok was seriously ill today, so I hired a temporary worker to help me deliver food!" Udyr half-hunched over and nodded to Thaern, and unknowingly took out a bag of large food silver coins.
Stuffed into Seiner's waist.
"Wait a minute!" Sai Ener pushed the silver coin back with one hand: "Are you sure there is no problem with this person's identity?"
Thaern began to look at the person in front of him carefully. Judging from his clothes, he should be a cannibal. It stands to reason that what Udyr hates most is cannibals. How could he temporarily find a cannibal to deliver food?
?
"Hey, look what you said, I have been delivering food to the palace for so long, don't you understand the rules? Even if you give me a gold mountain, I don't dare to bring unknown people to the palace! Isn't this recent?
The city's gates are tight and taxes are heavy, so many laborers have fled elsewhere to find food. If I really couldn't find anyone, I wouldn't look for a cannibal!"
Udyr pushed the silver coin to Thaern again and explained with a sorry smile.
That's true! After thinking about it carefully, what Udyr said makes some sense. Since His Majesty the King promulgated various new tax systems, many young laborers in the city of Bahna have gone out to find jobs. Now the locals who remain in the city
Apart from the elderly businessmen, there are also businessmen who rely on their shops to make a living. If Udyr really wants to temporarily hire a Lit man to deliver food, it is indeed a bit difficult.
Twisting his lips, Seiner sneered. "Well, you are quite timid!"
"Forget it, let's go in. Remember not to use strangers again. The palace is no better than the market next to your home!"
Although Thain'er spoke in a cryptic way, how could Udyr not understand what he meant? Born and raised in Bakhna, although they didn't say it, everyone was extremely disgusted with those foreign cannibals.
If it weren't for them, he would be the master here, how nourishing would his life be?
"Hey, hey." Udyr quickly nodded and bowed to Thaern. After making a full gesture, he yelled at the big eater: "Why don't you hurry up and push the cart! You and I can't afford to delay the palace meal.
!”
The sound of creaking wooden wheels sounded again, and the oxcart carrying vegetables was slowly pushed into the main entrance of the palace under the watchful eyes of many guards.
...
...
Arriving at the door of the royal palace's dining room, Udyr finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I said, old man, you scared me to death just now. If Seiner sees the flaw, both of us will be thrown into jail! I almost risked my life for your two big bags of silver coins.
Got it!"
It's no wonder that he was so angry, Sein'er was famous for not recognizing his relatives. Even though he and he were old friends, once he made a mistake, he would be the first one to send him to Bahan's prison!
"Hey, this isn't my first time pretending to be a coachman. I'm inexperienced. You're always frightened!" The big eater bowed to Udyr and said with an apologetic smile. The strange thing is that even though he was dressed as a big eater,
The language was spoken in Turkic language.
Udyr had no intention of chatting with him, and pointed to a bungalow in front of him on the right: "Just unload the vegetables there! I'm really surprised that you spent two big bags of silver coins just to enter the palace.
Trip? His Majesty the King has such a distinguished status, why would he come to a place like this? If you are here to pay homage to the Holy Face, this money will really be wasted!"
"Hey, hey... Oops, I have a stomachache. Oh my God, I guess it's because I ate something unclean at noon and got a stomachache!" The boy covered his hands as he spoke.
I squatted on the ground with pain in my stomach.
"Hey, it's really bad luck for you when I mess with you!" Udyr stamped his feet anxiously, pointed to a small room in the north and said, "You should go there quickly. I'll wait for you here."
I have to go to the General's Mansion later to deliver groceries, and I'm very pressed for time. Isn't this guy's diarrhea causing trouble for me?
The young boy gritted his teeth when he heard this and said, "No need, I, I guess I won't be able to get out in as long as I can stick a stick of incense, so you don't have to wait for me."
Udyr was so angry that he almost lost his breath. A stick of incense? He asked for one when it was convenient...
"you......"
"It's okay, isn't it the dining room? I remember it. I'll dump all the vegetables there after I'm done, and then I'll push the car back for you!"
The young man endured the abdominal pain and echoed.
"Hey!" Udyr waved his hand angrily and said: "This is all we can do now. I will go back to arrange the vegetables in the general's palace first. You will come back immediately after unloading the goods. You are not allowed to stay in the palace. If you wander around and look around,
If you get into trouble, no one can save you!"
"Hey, I got it. Oops..." The boy stumbled and ran towards the hut in the north, no longer caring about talking to Udyr.
"Hey!" Udyr sighed and walked towards the outside of the palace while complaining.
