003. The glitz of the capital
Thick land, capital city.
The battle with the demon also had some impact on this second largest country in the world.
Decreasing population and shortage of supplies.
However, being able to survive is the courage and strength of the second largest country in the world.
The prosperity in the capital is indeed much less than the previous lantern and green alleys. At night, there is no longer the kind of lights and wine that seems to last until dawn, and the bustle and bustle that seems to last until dawn.
However, during the day, the flow of people and merchant transactions between the market did not decrease much, and it still seemed so prosperous.
In a corner of this bustling city street, it is the residence of Cao Kou, the grain transport official. Although his official position is small, the identity of the grain transport official can be considered a big lack of fat, and the power in his hands is also quite small. Therefore, he can be regarded as a person with some reputation.
At this moment, in front of the Cao Mansion, a young man in official uniform walked out of it.
His posture was humble and his face was full of flattering smile. Judging from the official uniform level on his body, his official position was definitely above this little Yungu. But now, it was not Cao Kou himself who accompanied him, but a humble servant.
"Haha, my husband stayed. Hahaha."
The official turned around and bowed to the servant again, his posture and manners were extremely humble and flattering.
The servant looked tall and arrogant, looking at the official with his nose, looking indifferent.
"Please also ask my husband to give Guan Mei a few words in front of Lord Cao. If you succeed, you will thank him again in the future! Thank you. Thank you, hahaha."
While saying that, the official handed a small bag in his arms to the servant. The servant took the pocket and weighed it. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I understand, go. If the host has news, he will naturally go and tell you."
The official quickly nodded and bowed again, and smiled and said, "Thank you! Thank you! Then, the official will say goodbye! Hahahaha."
With a dry laugh, the official got into a sedan chair in front of the door and left.
The servant looked at the sedan chair away and snorted coldly. He took out two pieces of silver from the purse and gave it to the soldiers guarding the door.
"Old Zhang, who is this person? Why do you come to Cao's house every now and then?"
The soldier on the left janitor bit the silver, put it in his arms, and asked questions at the same time.
The servant, who was called Lao Zhang, smiled and said, "You don't know? No wonder, you have only been here for more than a year and don't know it. Remember that face, that person is the son-in-law of the current dynasty! The famous Ding Dangxiang and General Ding!"
The soldier on the right was startled and opened his eyes wide: "Mr. Prince Consort? No! Such an exaggerated? The dignified Prince Consort is so humble now?"
Old Zhang laughed and said, "Yes. It's the prince-consor. However, this prince-consort is ungrateful and actually colluded with a demon to betray the Central Plains! Two years ago, after the death of the late emperor, the bastard's collusion with a demon has been announced to the world. Although the current Majesty was reluctant to let him continue to stay in the capital because he was the late emperor's prince-consort. But his status? Haha, this guy's status is not as good as our Lord Cao! But this is also worth it! Who made him betray the Central Plains and betray us and surrender to the Demon Kingdom?"
The soldiers around the left and right nodded quickly, and their faces were full of enlightenment. Old Zhang weighed his wallet and continued to remind him: "Okay, you two know people now. If this guy comes again in the future, you will stop me and don't let him bother me again. The gifts given are too small, and I also want Lord Cao to speak for him and provide him with a good position. Humph! I'm crazy about it! Take it to share."
After saying that, Lao Zhang raised his hand and the purse flew up and landed on the hands of the soldiers on the left. When the two soldiers were rushing to fight, Lao Zhang also returned to Cao's mansion and ignored him.

……………………
Opposite the Cao Mansion, there is a restaurant.
Above the restaurant, a man dressed in a young man was sitting there.
She looked at everything that happened in front of her, and also watched the man in the sedan slowly leave. Her eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet...
At this moment, the prince-in-law's down-and-out sedan chair left, and she also planned to settle the bill and leave.
But before she could call the waiter to come and check the bill, a tall and mighty person sat down opposite her. His eyes were full of majesty and he stared at her straight.
After seeing this person, a hint of surprise flashed across the young man's face and he quickly lowered his head. After a moment, he shouted timidly: "Grandpa..."
"Hmph, you still remember my grandpa, it's great."
Nuo Yuanxiu nodded, continued to stare at the granddaughter disguised as a man in front of him, and looked up and down, "You are not giving up and thinking about him all day long? You know what this beast has done to you! But you still look like this now?"
Nuomimi was yelled by her grandfather, her face was filled with fear, and she quickly shook her head and said, "No, no! Grandpa...I...I don't..."
"Although I said no?"
Nuo Yuanxiu snorted. Around him, the subordinates of the Nuo family had gradually cleared this floor of the restaurant, so even if Nuo Yuanxiu got angry here, no one could see it.
"What? Are you still dreaming about it? Yes, yes. Recently, there are rumors that the relationship between that guy and the eldest princess is tense, and there are many conflicts between the couple. Don't think I don't know what you think. When you hear that the relationship between the couple is tense, you must be happy, right?!"
Nuomimi dared not speak back on grandpa's scolding. Even those timid "I don't have" are not confident enough.
Seeing his granddaughter look like this now, Nuo Yuanxiu was very furious, but he was very distressed. The old man sighed and shook his head and said, "Good granddaughter, grandpa is old and can't take care of you for much time... Your father, your mother, your uncle and uncle, they all sacrificed their lives for the country on the battlefield... They are all the pride of the Nuo family! Grandpa really doesn't want to see you... Seeing your appearance..."
Thinking of his children who had already died on the battlefield, Nuo Yuanxiu's eyes couldn't help but feel more wet. When he looked at the only bloody granddaughter in front of him, he even showed a look of regret.
"grandfather……"
Nuomi stood up, walked behind her grandfather, and pounded Nuo Yuanxiu's back.
