Chapter 371 Sleep

In the corner of the imperial dining room, Du Chengfeng was lying on the bed, fast asleep.

This is the first time he has slept properly in bed in the past few days. After all, making a large bed is far more troublesome than a recliner. Fortunately, the craftsmen of the royal family are reliable enough, and this one is specially given to him. The custom-made queen-size bed is finally completed.

"I thought that this kind of craftsmanship would never be used in my life... I think my ancestor used this kind of craftsmanship when he made a bed for Taizu Emperor Gao!"

When the bed was completed, the master craftsman in charge of the project sighed. He had never expected that this skill, which in his eyes was almost useless, would ever see the light of day again.

It is naturally extremely arrogant to compare a person who is not an emperor to the founder of the country, but after saying this, no one thought there was anything wrong - after all, this description mainly describes the huge body, like this This kind of body is so huge that it can even be called a giant. In everyone's impression, only Emperor Taizu is like this.

But apart from that, there is one more thing that no one has said clearly.

That is, a sense of peace of mind.

Today's Da Chen is no longer as stable as it seems. Although it still maintains the most basic dignity on the surface, it is full of holes on the inside. Recently, even the most basic dignity cannot be maintained. Even they The craftsmen have also noticed those crises.

"It's like a big ship. The wood inside is rotten and water has poured in. No matter how you repair it, it's useless."

These craftsmen may not understand the things in the court or the things of the strong men, but they can still perceive and understand the current situation in their own way.

So they were actually ready to run away.

No one wants to stay on a broken ship that is about to capsize, even if they have worked for the royal family for generations. As the saying goes, if the tree falls and the hozen disperses, since there is no way to survive here, running away is the only way to survive - anyway, they all have skills. , you will never starve to death wherever you go, as for fulfilling your duties...

Let's forget about this kind of thing. Loyalty is the most worthless thing. In this deep palace, they have seen too many things where their lives were wasted because of so-called loyalty.

Loyalty is something that needs to be paid attention to. Some people are worthy of loyalty. These heroes know the weight of loyalty and will not let those loyal people waste their lives in vain. But there are still some people... these people don't know how to be loyal. They will only take it for granted. In their eyes, those loyal people are born to serve them, and they do not want to pay any price for this loyalty.

So, does their current king look like the kind of hero worthy of allegiance?

"Haha."

The craftsmen's answer was a tacit smile.

The young emperor was not a hero, but a spoiled child. When the late emperor was alive, this was not obvious, but with the passing of the late emperor, and as the young emperor grew up day by day, this became clear. Problems in this aspect can no longer be covered up.

"The Holy Essence remains as before."

This is what people say about the young emperor.

If it were just an ordinary young child, it might be considered a compliment, but if you use this word to describe an emperor... no matter how old the emperor is, it actually sounds a bit like swearing.

The emperor is not reliable, and neither are the civil and military officials. The voices of the southward moving faction are getting louder and louder now, but the reason why they insist on moving south is not because their family properties are in the south - most of the craftsmen are The main reason for not wanting to go to the south is because of this. In Jiankang City, they are still famous royal craftsmen. But if they go to the south, I am afraid that the emperor himself may not have much voice. What can these craftsmen do then? manage?

Instead of looking at the faces of those wealthy families, they might as well just work for some strong man.

For example, the strong man who called himself Huangtian before.

The strength of the strong is mainly reflected in force. As for force, it still depends on some professional talents - just like the previous competition field and the high platform were built by them. There are always things that the strong cannot do on their own, and this means that as long as they still have skills, they will always have something to eat.

The only problem is that a strong person may not always have a good temper.

This is why the craftsmen list the strong men separately. Indeed, these strong men may not be emperors, but they hold some kind of power that is far greater than the emperor. You know, even if the emperor wants to kill them, he has to find someone to kill them. He gave a reason, then called the guards over, pushed them out, and finally beheaded them. But if it were a strong person...

The strong don't need to go to such trouble. They don't even need to find a reason. Killing people and taking lives is as easy for them as eating and drinking.

Do you need a reason to eat and drink?

Not at all.

They are facing monsters that possess absolute violence, and are even fundamentally different from humans. Faced with this irresistible death, all they can do is pray, praying that the next person to die will not be... Own.

Until that Master Du showed up.

They actually knew very little about this Grand Master Du, and most of the impressions in their minds came from some rumors - according to the rumors, this Grand Master Du was originally a rebel, and even though he was recruited to the palace, he never had any feelings for him. The emperor lowered his head and even rode up to the Golden Palace on horseback. He was so unspeakable and arrogant that there would probably never be another person in the world who was so arrogant.

Therefore, these craftsmen were originally prepared to treat him with the same attitude as they would treat a strong man, just like they treated the Emperor. They were already familiar with this.

But what they didn't expect was that the new Master Du was a little too talkative.

Completely inconsistent with the huge body, this tall giant was extremely gentle. Not only did he not show any violence, he even gave them enough respect. It was only this time that these craftsmen realized that they were actually the same. There will be a day when he is respected as a teacher, and the strong man in front of him, that tall giant, is even willing to half-kneel on the ground and talk to them at eye level in order to prevent them from looking up and feeling too uncomfortable.

This was the first time that a strong person would kneel in front of weak people like them.

This flattered them.

The following days also confirmed their judgment. After this gentle giant moved into the palace, the atmosphere of the entire palace changed visibly - even though it was still the same broken ship, there were traces of decay everywhere. , but with the arrival of Master Du, this broken ship suddenly stopped leaking.

"It's like... there's a big, long plank that just blocks all the holes."

This is how the craftsmen describe this feeling, still using their own way of understanding.

Perhaps this is why they compare him to Emperor Taizu. After all, in their impression, I am afraid that only the omnipotent Emperor Taizu can do such a thing - that huge body does not even need to do anything. , just sitting there will give people a sense of solid security.

It's a pity that no one can fill the huge throne for a long time.

Although it's not that no one is sitting on it, the people who sit on it are too small no matter how you look at it.

Sitting on the huge throne with a small body, there was no sense of reassurance at all. The emptiness around him only left people with endless fear. "So, make a big bed."

The craftsmen were determined.

This can be regarded as their reward for the giant. Although they can't do it, let the giant sit on the throne. This is too transgressive, and the giant himself may not even be happy, but making a suitable big bed is still not possible. The problem - after all, after the giant arrived, they rarely got a few nights of good sleep.

Of course, this sounds like something wrong. Is it really worth getting to this point if it’s just a good night’s sleep?

"It's really worth it."

Without exception, the craftsmen all think so.

It’s hard for outsiders to understand how they feel. Only they themselves can truly understand how precious this solid sleep is - sitting on a rough and broken boat, it’s really extremely difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The difficult thing is that they have woken up from their sleep countless times during this period.

It was the fear of death and the panic of the unknown. They were too weak to repair the broken ship and could only watch themselves sinking. Indeed, they might be able to choose to escape and jump into the sea, but even if Will they really survive if they jump?

I don't know, I don't know at all, they are in torment every day.

Until, these days.

There is no need to worry about anything anymore, and there is no need to be afraid of anything anymore. Although everything seems to have not been solved, and the broken ship is still the same broken ship, as long as the Grand Master Du is still there, nothing seems to happen. The problem - nothing will come in, there is no need to run anywhere, no one can kill them, they just need to live normally.

They themselves couldn't understand why they felt this way. They were in the palace, but in a place where their heads would be chopped off if they did something wrong, but they could be sure that they would not die, and no one would. Killing them is an extremely unbelievable thing.

"That giant will probably speak for us."

Most craftsmen can only think of this.

However, a few craftsmen were vaguely aware of the source of this sense of security, which was because there was order again in the palace - even if this so-called order was just the words of the giant, it was stronger than the words of the little emperor. Too much.

So no matter what, they had to let the giant have a good night's sleep.

Just like themselves, they sleep soundly and peacefully.

They used all the craftsmanship at their disposal.

The first is the selection of materials. The century-old fallen wood that was sent as tribute from the southwest is used. The aroma of this wood itself has the effect of aiding sleep, and it has always been reserved for the royal family. Of course, after saying this, it is not practical to do these specific tasks. In the hands of craftsmen, they can be used by whomever they like.

Then came the craftsmanship. During this period, they carefully measured the giant's height and body weight, and then adjusted the posture of the bed in a targeted manner - most ordinary beds are a whole flat surface, which is just to facilitate production. , but it is not necessarily the best choice. According to the giant's figure, they left a subtle arc on the bed, which can make the giant lie more comfortable and sit more comfortably.

In the end, they even contacted the weavers in the palace to create a special set of bedding and pillows just for this big bed. This set of specially enlarged bedding and pillows not only perfectly fit the overly large body, but also Let the other person enjoy a baby-like sleep.

"You'll know after you try it! This will definitely work!"

When they finished assembling the bed, the craftsmen praised Master Du very highly.

Of course, this may seem like a compliment to outsiders, but these craftsmen themselves know that what they say is nothing but facts.

Anyone lying on this bed can sleep soundly. This is their confidence in their craftsmanship.

And Du Chengfeng also experienced this personally.

He hadn't opened his eyes since lying down at noon.

The effect of the custom-made bed was too good. He had never slept so comfortably before--well, it couldn't be said that he had never slept well, but his sleep had always been pretty good. If there was a bed, he would sleep on it. If there was no bed, he would sleep on the ground. He would just spread some straw and use it as a bed. He even slept on the horseback when he was on the road.

As for the past few days, he has been catching up on his sleep on the recliner. Taking a nap in the sun is indeed very comfortable, but the posture of the recliner does not provide good sleep quality at all.

At least compared to now, there is really only one heaven and one underground.

Lying on the tailor-made large bed, covered with a quilt that was large enough to cover him, Du Chengfeng even had the illusion that his body shape was fine - you must know that he had never been so comfortable in Wangyou Township. As for his sleeping experience, after all, there weren't many serious tailors in Wangyou Township, and those folks couldn't make a quilt large enough to cover his whole body.

"When was the last time I slept so comfortably?"

Du Chengfeng couldn't remember clearly.

All he knew was that shortly after lying down, he fell asleep.

Generally, there are no dreams in deep sleep. It is a complete hibernation of the body, and after this hibernation, the body will be rejuvenated.

But just when he was half asleep, Du Chengfeng suddenly had a dream.

He dreamed about when he first came to this world.

It must have been when he first got that big sword not long after he came to this world. In his impression, when he got this ancestral sword, the boy named Yang Sanlang was quite angry.

Remember that kid seemed to be preparing to kill him while he was sleeping?
