Shu Chen

Chapter 29 Ma Zhong
The night was quiet, as silent as a pool of stagnant water.

The moonlight was hazy, and the starlight was blurred, hanging down from the night sky like threads, shrouding the pavilions of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the corridor outside the house of the prime minister Zhuge Liang, a small official led the way with bronze oil candles in hand, followed by Zheng Pu.The breeze blew lightly, and the flames of the bronze oil candles swayed, dragging the shadows of the two behind them.

Just like Zheng Pu's mood at this time.

After being given a meal by the Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, the two sat and talked for a long time.

Still the Prime Minister asked, he answered.

Moreover, the question asked is no longer limited to military planning, but also covers many trivial matters such as political affairs, people's livelihood, employment and official management.Examination means more than discussion.

It also makes the heart of support and cooperation in the future, moisturizing things silently hidden in words.

Zheng Pu naturally concentrated and answered carefully.

That's why, as soon as he came out of the narration, he felt physically and mentally haggard.

Ugh.
Sitting down with such a wise man who knew the change of Dazhi can benefit a lot, but it is also exhausting.

With a sigh in his heart, Zheng Pu put away his thoughts, put his eyes on the bronze oil candle, and paid attention to the road under his feet.

The place where the little official on duty led the way was the supervisor's office under the door.

In the Han system, the prefectures, prefectures and counties have a few courtyard houses at the rear for some chief officials and their subordinates who have no financial resources to purchase their own accommodation.The same is true for the Prime Minister's Mansion.In particular, the under-door governor (the full name is the under-the-door governor thief) has duties such as guards of honor, guards, and guards. Naturally, there is no shortage of lodgings for assistants and soldiers.

Zheng Pu did not want to live here.

But the capital is closed at night, and no night travel is allowed without a warrant!
Unable to go back to live in Qin Mansion, he had to stay overnight.

Moreover, when he came out of Zhuge Liang's office, he was also instructed by the Prime Minister to pass the message on his behalf: let the subordinate Ma Zhong go to discuss matters.

All the way softly and slowly, we arrived at the office of the Superintendent's Office under the door.

Zheng Pu asked the little official who led the way to wait for a while, and went to look for the soldier on duty to ask, "The next is Zheng Pu, the secretary, and I will return to the governor of Ma. Dare to ask the strong man, where is the governor of Ma staying tonight?"

"It turned out to be Zheng Shuzuo."

When the soldier heard the words, he relaxed the vigilance on his face, first held it with military salute, and then smiled, "At sunset, when the governor saw Zheng Shuzuo being left to talk by the prime minister, he ordered me to tell me that Zheng Shuzuo can rest first when he returns. Come down, see you tomorrow."

"Dudu Lao is sympathetic."

Zheng Pu was slightly startled, and hurriedly bowed his hand to the right to express his thanks to Ma Zhong, and then said, "However, when I returned, the Prime Minister asked me to pass the message on my behalf and let the Governor go to discuss the matter."

"what!"

Soldier Jia was surprised, and quickly turned around and walked in, "Zheng Shuzuo, please come with me!"

When the rush was short, the soldier came to the front of an army tent and reported loudly, "Report to the Governor, the Prime Minister has a call!"

When the words fell, there was a rustling voice in the military tent.

However, after a few dozen breaths, the curtains of the military tent were lifted from the inside, and the general who was in his thirties a year and wearing armor came out.

He was more than seven feet tall, with a square face and a wide forehead. His facial features were as sharp as a knife and axe.

Moreover, he was able to leave the account so quickly, it is not difficult for people to guess that he slept without disarming.

He deserves to be praised by the First Lord Liu Bei!
Zheng Pu looked at himself secretly, but did not dare to be negligent. He took a step forward and said politely, "I have seen the Governor Ma. The next is Zheng Pu, the secretary of the book, and Fang is returning from the Prime Minister's office. The Prime Minister asked me to pass a message and let the Governor go to discuss matters. ."

"Hey, you will be Zheng Zijin of the new character book "Thousand Characters"?"

Ma Zhong looked sideways, looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile, "Sure enough, you are a talented person! Well, if you have a job, you should go and rest. It's too late, and the rest will be discussed tomorrow."

After saying that, he waved his hand and strode away.

Silent all night.

The next day, at Mao Shi, the sky was slightly pale.

Zheng Pu had a tired face and got up from the wooden couch, feeling sore and stiff all over.

Well, he and the Prime Minister's Mansion huddled together for the night.

He also let him listen to the babbling, teeth grinding, and snoring all night long, as well as an inexplicable smell mixed with foot odor, sweat, body odor, etc., hovering before his breath for a long time.To drive it away, to linger, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Zheng Pu stepped out of the military tent.

There were already many soldiers outside, forming small formations to dance in the small school field.

Perhaps it was because they were ordered not to make noise. These soldiers were wielding spears or knives around their heads and performing martial arts, but there was only the sound of strong wind, and no one shouted to cheer.Zheng Pu squinted and watched silently for a while. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a well in the corner. He walked over slowly, rolled up his sleeves and fetched water for washing.

"Huh? Zheng Shuzuo is actually resting here?"

A surprised voice came from behind.

Zheng Pu casually wiped the water droplets from his face, and turned his head to look at it. It turned out that the general who had brought him into the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, sentenced Fu.

"It turned out to be a sentence record."

Nodding and laughing, Zheng Pu stood up and bowed his hands in salute, "I came back late last night, so I can rest at will."

"Ah! I forgot!"

Gu Fuyi returned a salute with annoyed expression on his face, "Zheng Shuzuo has his own house. I wanted to wait until Zheng Shuzuo met the Prime Minister before taking him there, but Shuzuo didn't return at sunset, so I thought that Shuzuo couldn't live in the Prime Minister's house. ."

Uh.
You don't have to be so straightforward.

Hearing this, Zheng Pu recalled the lack of sleep last night, and he took a deep breath and smiled brightly, "It's okay. If you have time to record things, please take me there now."

"Get free! Get free!"

Nodding again and again, Jufu stretched out his hand and feigned, "Zheng Shuzuo, come with me."

"It's work."

Yi Li also stretched out his hand to lead him, and Zheng Pu followed, "Shulu Shi, you and I are similar in age, why don't we match each other with words?"

"So best!"

Yu Fu grinned, "Zheng Shu. If Zijin didn't say it, I would also like to mention it. My family is in Hanchang, and there are many people who are foreign to me. Is there a reason for the strange beasts mentioned in the new book?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that?"

The footsteps paused slightly, and Zheng Pu was a little surprised.

I also thought to myself, this person would not be one of those who criticized me for making up too many words and absurdity in the past, right?
"Ha, it's the soldiers who came to serve in the Prime Minister's Mansion with me. They are all idiots, and they don't like to talk about ghosts, gods, and beasts. I heard that Zijin entered the Prime Minister's mansion yesterday, so I asked him to ask Zijin to talk about those strange things. Allusions to the Beast."

After Gu Fu explained, he was afraid that Zheng Pu would find it strange, so he added a sentence, "Zijin, a man has a straightforward and forthright temperament, and he always comes and goes. After being away from home for a long time, he can't enjoy it, so he thinks about it, don't you Weird."

You are also very forthright.
Zheng Pu slandered, and replied, "No problem. If I have time to spare, it's fine to talk."

"Zijin really is."

Turning his head to the side and smiling, Ju Fu just wanted to thank him, but he straightened up and gave a military salute.

"I have seen the Governor Ma."

Hearing that, Zheng Pu turned his head and saw Ma Zhong is approaching slowly, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "I have seen the Governor Ma."

"Ah."

Nodding slightly, Ma Zhong walked past the two of them, "Zijin, come with me."
