Chapter 684
2014-08-16
Several days later, late winter, early morning. .Pushing open the windows on the second floor, fluttering snowflakes fell from the sky. I don't know when it started last night. Now that the snow has fully recovered, Heaven and Earth are pure white. Fortunately, it is in the city, with the towering city wall blocking it, but not many cold winds are involved, and the temperature is not unbearably low.
In this weather, if it is in Titus, I am afraid not many people are willing to go out. But this is the Northern Wilderness, so although it is still early, in the condescending sight, many silhouettes can be seen coming out.
In front of the neighbor's house on the left, several people dressed as servants were cleaning the snow. One of them had no intention of looking up and looked towards here. He couldn't help but stand up straight and bowed in salute.
Looking away, in front of you is a backyard of a luxurious building in Beihuang. Through the iron fence, you can see two silhouettes of barbarians wrestling on the snow.
One is a tall and sturdy adult man, and the other is a short and stocky child. In this snowflake, the two of them only wrapped a short animal skin around their waists to cover their bodies. Immediately, the adult man grabbed the child's legs and feet, raised it, fell, bang... There was a sound of landing, and snowflakes splashed. The child quickly got up from the snow, roared angrily, and rushed on quickly. Then he was lifted up again and fell down...
"Hu..." He exhaled in a breath, although he was wearing thin clothes, Tang En didn't feel much coldness, but he was just waking up. become more awake. Seeing that this was more like abusive wrestling, Tang En couldn't help shaking his head slightly and said to himself, "No wonder the Titus soldiers couldn't beat the northern barbarians, such an environment, and such an extreme training method since childhood, if they can beat them, then What a ghost..."
tone barely fell, dong dong dong, and there was a knock on the door behind him.
"Come in." Tang En turned around and pushed open the door. A middle-aged woman with a slightly bloated figure walked in. Seeing Tang En, she bowed and saluted, "Sir, breakfast has already been served. I'm ready."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Jane, I'll clean up and go on."
"Sir, you don't need to thank me, this is what I should do." When Aunt Zhenli heard the words, she bowed again, looking a little terrified.
"Oh..." Tang En could not help rubbing his eyebrows when he saw this, looking a little troubled. Immediately, she had no choice but to lift her face and wave her hand, and then Aunt Jane carefully closed the door and left.
"Hehe, you're born with a life, you can't be an old landlord." With a wry smile, Tang En shook the head, closed the window, and went to get the black animal skin hanging on the side. cloak.
It has now been three days since I met the Queen. As Tang En's, it is naturally impossible to live in the Imperial Palace castle. But after just one afternoon, before he could get out of the castle, his residence was already arranged - a majestic double-storey stone building, with a basement, tool room, woodland, etc. attached to the back. The huge courtyard, the specific location is around the castle.
Needless to say, Tang En knew that his house was in a good location just by looking at the surrounding Beihuang buildings that were either rich or expensive. And not only that, just after he moved into this somewhat large and excessive stone building, on the second day, Andre brought Jenny and a dozen other servants to the door, laughed at Hehe's arrangement and entered the stone building to take care of his daily life.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Tang En didn't know until then that Andre's true identity was the Imperial Family Guard Chief, who was in charge of guarding the Imperial Palace's outer perimeter.
From his mouth, Tang En knew that all this was arranged by Lansa, including Jane Li and the dozen or so Titus servants who spoke Titus words and obviously took great pains to collect.
But as I said earlier, Tang En was really not used to being served like a local boss and old wealthy, so he refused at that time. But Andrei said it was an arrangement from His Royal Highness Lansa, and he was just following orders. And what are you talking about, these Titus servants are not doing well here. No Beihuang people are willing to hire them. As a Titus person, don't you take care of your compatriots? And they don't need you to pay their monthly wages, it's borne by the Imperial Palace...
That's all said, what can Tang En say? You can only touch your nose and smile bitterly.
Of course, if you want to get something, you have to give something. In fact, today is the day when Tang En works, and the location is a place called the Craftsman's Office. As for the content of the work, it is naturally to make glasses and telescopes.
At this point, Tang En's consent was not required for Lansa's previous solicitation, and an agreement was naturally reached. There is no way, Tang En really has no room for rejection, unless he wants to leave the stone building, come to the imperial city prison for a few days, and by the way experience the punishment of Beihuang......
......
Walking down to the bedroom on the second floor, Tang En came to the restaurant with a stiff face as the servants who were cleaning all the way bowed to say hello. Can't blame him for being rude, because if he returns the salute, the servants will be in a state of panic for a while...
The reason, Tang En can also think of. No matter how these Titus people came here, there is no doubt that in this northern wasteland, their identities are at the lowest and lowest levels of society, and life is indeed very bad as Andre said. Being beaten and scolded is considered light, and even if you are killed, no one will take care of you.
It can be said that these people are now with Tang En, which is the best result. Not only do you no longer have to worry about food and clothing, but you even have monthly wages. And anyway, although Tang En is also from Titus, it is right to live in this rich or expensive area. So even in Tang En's face, those people from the Northern Wilderness outside would not dare to touch them easily.
As a result, their attitude towards Tang En's is naturally very respectful, lest they accidentally annoy him and lose this good job like the blessing of Light God...
At the dining table, Food in a distinct Titus style is ready. Sheets of golden pasta, fragrant cheeses, slices of meat topped with meat...things like that, served on delicate plates that line the side of the table.
Pulling out the chair and sitting down, Tang En smacking his lips when he saw the excessively rich breakfast in front of him.
tsk tsk, [***] ah [***], Lansa what the hell do you think? Are you going to knock me down with these sugar-coated cannonballs? But why are they all uncle aunts, don't you send me a few eye-catching loli maids...cough cough, you want to be crooked, you want to be crooked, Tang En, you have to hold on, you can't bend your waist for five buckets of rice... Well, but I'm not from Titus, why hold on? Hey, I've been thinking too much...
Tang En picked up the knife and fork and started to move. This fuck doesn't eat for nothing, Young Master is now a technical job and pays labor.
......
After about ten minutes, Tang En leaned back on the chair with a burp, and wiped his mouth with a white towel contentedly, very comfortable. It has to be said that such a superior life does have a ** that makes people want to degenerate.
At this time, heavy footsteps came from outside the door. Tang En looked up, and saw a barbarian man in slightly bulky armor walking into the restaurant, surrounded by Aunt Zhenli and the others subconsciously avoiding.
This is also the escort sent by Andre, nearly a hundred people, responsible for surrounding security. Of course, it should also bring monitoring Tang En's command.
In a simple salute, the big man copied the very blunt Titus words and said: "Master Arthur, there is a Titus old man named Matthew Man outside the door looking for you."
" Matthew Man?" Tang En was stunned when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized. Today was the first time he went to work in a craftsman's office, and he was unfamiliar with it. Andre had said before that someone would come to inform him, and it seemed that it was this Matthew Man. Hehe, but he had a heart, and he even found a Titus man.
Thinking about this, Tang En laughed and shook his head, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go out together, it's the first guest anyway."
"Yes!" These guards should all be Having been instructed by Andre, he knew about Tang En's strength, so he was respectful, at least on the surface.
Going through the front hall and out of the empty front courtyard, across the iron fence, Tang En saw an ordinary black shed carriage parked on the side of the door. The door of the car was open, and inside sat a thin old man in a cyan-gray color padded jacket with a one-foot white beard.
At this moment, the old man was staring blankly at the guards in the snow outside the door, with a strange expression, not realizing Tang En who walked out of the iron door.
Approaching, Tang En heard something 'Imperial Family Guard' muttering in the old man's mouth, some unfathomable mystery, stepped forward and greeted: "Hello, it's Your Excellency Matthew Man. Is it?"
"Yes, uh... ok, hello." The old man named Matthew Man was shocked when he heard the sound, and seemed to be frightened and a little flustered, and his old face couldn't help but react. Hong, bowed in return, "cough cough, it's Lord Arthur. I'm Matthew Man from the craftsman's office, and this time I'm here to bring you to the workplace."
You...Tang En Wen Hearing this honorific, I couldn't help grinning, said with a smile: "Your Excellency Matthew Man, you are too kind, you and I are from Titus, I'm new here, I don't understand anything, please take care of me."
"Hehe, it should be, it should be..." Matthew Man responded with a dry smile, and once again glanced at the big man's armor beside Tang En, his eyes could not help shrinking, and he looked a little in awe.
Tang En's observation skills are so keen, he glanced at the big man's armor in amazement, but he didn't find anything special except for a wolf head on the armor.
Then the two exchanged a few words again, but because Matthew Man's attitude was always a little bit reluctant to let go, the atmosphere was also a bit cold. That Matthew Man seemed to realize this, Suo ended the conversation and proposed to go to the craftsman.
Tang En will naturally not object, and is preparing to take a ride with Matthew Man, so as to know more about the situation of the imperial city, so as to make plans for future runs. At this time, the big man who had been following suddenly pursed his lips and let out a long, sharp whistle,
Beep...bang bang bang...
As soon as the whistle fell, I heard bursts of The crisp sound of hoofs came.
In the corner of the iron gate, four horses with pure white fur and pale blue eyes like jasper slowly walked out from the front and back, with silver hooves treading lightly and graceful posture. Immediately, behind the two grooms who were also wearing wolf-head armor, a carriage with a pure black body, glazed rays of light on the crystal windows, and a mysterious decoration like golden waves on the top burst into view.
Tang En and Matthew Man's expressions were stunned at the same time, staring blankly at the extremely gorgeous carriage walking slowly to his side, without came back to his senses for a while.
The big man on the side explained: "Master Arthur, time is a little tight, and your carriage is not ready yet. So His Royal Highness Lansa will temporarily lend you His Highness Theu's carriage for your use."
tone barely fell , pu... The pure white horse snorted, its head held high. The variegated old horse in front of Matthew Man's car walked a few steps to the side involuntarily, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
came back to his senses, Tang En turned to look at Matthew Man with a sullen face, touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "This Fuck...isn't it too high-profile..."
