Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 409: Talking nonsense

On the other side, Liu Manqiang and Zheng Qiuyi were also feeling bad, especially Liu Manqiang. She had never lost face so badly in her life!

The degree of humiliation was even higher than when the little turtle born to that old turtle Zhao Shu jumped in front of her!

A dozen guards surrounded them, each with a strange expression on their face. The leader, Jian Ming, was especially vocal, chanting like a monk. "Oh, what are you doing, old lady? It's late at night, the dew is heavy, and it's dark outside. You're already old, so you should take care of yourself."

"Old Madam, please don't play around. It's almost the end of the year. What if you catch a cold? I'm afraid you'll be worried..."

"If you want to go out and play, it's not too late to go out tomorrow morning. There's a curfew in Chang'an City, and the Jinwu Guards are patrolling the streets outside. If you go out dressed like this, you'll definitely get hit by a few arrows. You can't do this at your age. Arrow wounds are painful, but they'll also leave scars. That's no joke."

"If the old lady really wants to go out to play at night, please tell Jiulang. The General of the Central Guard of the Jinwu Guard is Jiulang's best friend. Jiulang's grandmother is no different from the General of the Central Guard's grandmother. It should be possible to ask him to come and personally take the old lady on a night tour of Chang'an..."

......

If you ask Liu Manqiang what the three words she least wants to hear besides her grandmother are, it must be "old lady". How can a person be so talkative?

The guards who went to Guazhou to pick them up were all quieter than each other, and they all looked normal.

As a guard, you should be quiet!

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is: "Didn't you say that you have already found out their patrol time?"

Liu Manqiang questioned in a low voice with gritted teeth, but this guy called Jianming was still chattering non-stop, and his earnest look made people's eyes hurt.

"Old lady..."

Zheng Qiuyi was also a little confused. She had really been watching all night last night and even asked a few maids about it during the day: "I don't know what went wrong..."

Maybe the patrol schedule of Cui Mansion’s guards changes every day?

This is too much work, right? Do I have to schedule every day?

Jian Ming's ears were so sharp that he immediately took two steps closer and said loudly, "Oh, old lady, you don't know, the original patrol arrangement didn't include this one. But yesterday, there were so many more people in the mansion, all of them women. Our Jiulang has always been filial, so we temporarily added some patrol guards and shifts. Isn't this just a coincidence? Tell me about this, wow, it's fate..."

Tsk tsk tsk, tsk you devil!

Liu Manqiang was almost mad. Filial piety? Who told him to add her? Who was he looking down on?

Zheng Qiuyi eased the atmosphere somewhat awkwardly: "Old Madam, look at what has happened. I didn't realize Jiulang is such a filial child. He takes after Madam..."

Is this a matter of filial piety or not?

Liu Manqiang's teeth were almost broken as she looked around and said, "Attack!"

"Yes!" Zheng Qiuyi heaved a sigh of relief, and swung the black long stick in his hand to draw a semicircle. The long stick was about two meters long, and this length combined with the length of his arm was just enough to hit a few guards.

Seeing this, Jian Ming, who was chattering non-stop, quickly reminded the guards: "Quick, step back two steps! Don't just stand there like an idiot! This is Granny Zheng! If you stand in her way, you'll suffer!"

The guards who had been standing still and only intending to move their waists immediately took two steps back after hearing this. "Yes, yes, Grandma Zheng is very good at using the stick. The wind is really strong!"

The relatively good-tempered Zheng Qiuyi also became a little angry. What was wrong with this little guard? Who taught him to talk like that?

Was it intentional or deliberate?

Liu Manqiang was so angry that she was about to die, but her brain was still working. If she didn't leave today, she would definitely be questioned by her grandson, and it would be difficult to leave again. Now she has wasted a lot of time, and it would be difficult to break through.

Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed across her face. She had already made a plan in her mind. The long whip in her hand flew through the air and headed straight for the guards near the wall. As the whip was swung, inconspicuous white powder floated away in the flickering light.

At first, no one noticed her. When they saw her making a move, they all turned their bodies to avoid her. But the next moment, their legs went weak and they all fell to the ground unconscious.

Jian Ming, who was attacking with his mouth, knew something was wrong and immediately stopped talking. He took three steps back cautiously and looked at Liu Manqiang. The latter glared at her and ran straight towards the wall. Zheng Qiuyi followed closely behind, dancing with his long stick vigorously to block Jian Ming and others from chasing him.

Seeing that Liu Manqiang had already reached the wall, Jian Ming became anxious. He couldn't let her escape from his hands, otherwise Jiulang would definitely beat her to death!

But if he hurts someone...

Holy shit! Being a cow or a horse is so hard!

Zheng Qiuyi took the time to look back and saw Liu Manqiang soaring into the air and about to land on the wall. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a tall figure suddenly appear on the wall.

"Grandma, why are you out admiring the moon so late at night?"

The man who came was Cui Bianxu. He stood on the top of the wall, blocking Liu Manqiang's path. His expression was different from his usual cold face. He put on a kind smile that was very filial. "There are people from Wuhou Pu patrolling outside. How about your grandson accompany you?"

What a fart!

Liu Manqiang, who had been flying halfway, was frightened by the sudden appearance of the person and almost fainted. She quickly changed her footing and finally stood firm not far from Cui Bianxu: "Yier, why are you here..."

Liu Manqiang, who had little experience in escaping, was filled with embarrassment at this moment. She was a strong and majestic woman who had lived an upright life. She never expected that in her old age, she would do such petty and petty thefts. She felt a little embarrassed.

"The guards in the mansion reported that Grandma was in a playful mood tonight and wanted to test the guards' skills. They were afraid of hurting Grandma, so they asked the grandson to come and play with her."

Cui Bian narrated the story and tilted his head in a subtle manner, imitating Jiang Shangxian's usual behavior. "But grandma doesn't want to play with her grandson?"

Without waiting for Liu Manqiang to answer, his expression changed immediately. Three parts were aggrieved, three parts were disappointed, and four parts were lost. He grasped the expression perfectly: "My grandson has been without a grandmother since he was young. I thought it would be great if my grandmother could play with me every day. I didn't expect that now that my grandmother is here, she won't even take me with her to such a fun thing. It's my fault. I have been unpopular since I was young. No one in the family likes me. It's normal for my grandmother to dislike her grandson. My grandmother doesn't like my grandson, so she also dislikes Nian Nu. She actually gave her a compass that is enshrined in the ancestral hall..."
