Chapter 56: Hosta

Early the next morning, Yi Qingfeng walked out of the room after getting ready, and when he passed by Mu Qianqian's door, he found that she was still sleeping, he walked to the counter downstairs and said to the shopkeeper: "Little Er, please trouble you, if the girl who will come with me asks me where I am going, please tell her that I have something important to go out, so that she must wait for me in the inn." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Okay, don't worry, guest officer, I will definitely bring the words." ”

Yi Qingfeng nodded and walked quickly towards the door.

After half a day of running with all his might, Yi Qingfeng arrived at a small village only two miles away from Chixia Mountain, he saw a tea shop not far away, and he walked in without hesitation when he was dry.

Seeing that there was a guest ****, the shopkeeper ran forward with a smile on his face and said, "Guest officer, what do you want to drink?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "Let's have two bowls of tea, and then have some snacks." ”

The shopkeeper shouted, "Okay, I'll prepare it for you right away." He said and retreated.

After the tea and snacks came up, Yi Qingfeng said while eating: "Xiao Er, is there a place called Chixia Mountain not far ahead?"

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, it's only two miles away from here, if the guest officer wants to pass there, you have to be more careful, there is a gang of robbers there who make a living by robbing passing merchants." ”

Yi Qingfeng smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

As he was talking, five or six men dressed as merchants suddenly walked into the tea shop, these men ordered a pot of tea and some snacks and sat around eating and chatting, one of them was about fifty years old, seemed to be the oldest of them, and said with a worried face: "Brothers, there is Chixia Mountain in front, I think for the sake of insurance, we should wait until it gets dark and then cross the mountain, we have to be targeted by those robbers, and rob us of all our belongings." ”

Another man said, "It's still the eldest brother who has thought it through, so let's rest in this tea shop for a while and wait for it to get dark before moving forward." ”。

After Yi Qingfeng drank the tea and recuperated his spirits, he got up and prepared to go towards Chixia Mountain, and those merchant men saw Yi Qingfeng going alone in the direction of Chixia Mountain, and they all persuaded each other with good words: "Young man, there are robbers in front of you, it is very dangerous for you to go alone, or wait for it to get dark and go with us." ”

Yi Qingfeng said with a smile: "Don't bother you, those robbers will survive tonight." As he spoke, he strode forward

The merchants looked at each other and said, "This person has a sick brain, right?"

Yi Qingfeng quickly arrived at the mountain gate of the old nest of the gang of robbers in Chixia Mountain, and the two robbers guarding the mountain gate saw Yi Qingfeng breaking over, and scolded loudly: "Boy, who are you who dare to break into my territory of Chixia Mountain?"

Yi Qingfeng sneered: "Hurry up and report to your king, just say that I, Uncle Yi Qingfeng, have come to take his head." ”

The two thieves were furious and said, "Boy, you are impatient. Saying that, he raised the big knife in his hand and slashed at Yi Qingfeng fiercely, Yi Qingfeng didn't dodge or dodge, the god-level martial arts "lava armor" instantly urged, and the big knives of the two thieves slashed at Yi Qingfeng as if they were cut on a hard rock, not only did they not hurt him at all, but their arms were shocked and hurt, and the two thieves were so frightened that their faces were like earth, and they shouted like a mother: "Mom, there are monsters coming." As he spoke, he ran up the hill.

At this time, Xiao Shiyan, the leader of the thieves who was resting in the house, heard the howl of ghosts and wolves coming from outside, and immediately lifted a spear beside him and ran out angrily: "What happened, why is it so noisy?"

The two thieves guarding the mountain said in a panic: "The king is not good, a kid surnamed Yi came down the mountain and threatened to take the king's head." ”

Xiao Shiyan said angrily: "How many soldiers and horses did he bring?"

The two thieves said, "He's the only one." ”

Xiao Shiyan sneered: "It's really a useless rice bucket, just one person scares you like this?"

The two thieves said: "That kid surnamed Yi is not simple, our big knife slashed at him, he didn't react at all, he was simply invulnerable." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yi Qingfeng swept in front of Xiao Shilong like a gust of wind and stopped: "Thief, you have done a lot of evil, today I Yi will take your dog's life." ”

Xiao Shiyan was furious, and said fiercely: "Boy, you are looking for death." As he spoke, he shouted violently, and the spear in his hand swept out a cold light that was more than a foot high and rushed towards Yi Qingfeng's body, Yi Qingfeng had already prepared, and the strong true qi of his Great Zhou Tian's strength gushed out like a tide, and at the same time, his palms were as fast as lightning and shot out a few zhang in size, like a hurricane, and he greeted it, and a loud "boom" came, and Xiao Juyan was hit by the huge energy and retreated a few steps back.

A trace of horror flashed in Xiao Shiyan's eyes, and he yelled, "Give it to me, little ones, kill this beast." ”

The group of little minions beside him listened to the order, and immediately waved the big knife in his hand and rushed up, Yi Qingfeng snorted coldly and flew into the air violently, and at the same time, both palms flew together and slapped a few palms at the group of small minions that rushed in front of him, only to see a series of violent gangqi like a hurricane slammed firmly on the little minions who pounced, and a series of screams sounded, and they were all bombarded to vomit blood and die.

Xiao Shiyan took advantage of Yi Qingfeng's action to resist a group of small minions, the true qi in his body was urged to the extreme, and at the same time, his body jumped up violently, and even the gun stabbed at Yi Qingfeng's chest like a rapidly rotating top, Yi Qingfeng didn't dare to slack off, the lava armor instantly urged, and there was a crisp sound of "bang", and the spear stabbed the armor only a little deep before it could no longer be pierced, Yi Qingfeng shouted: "Suffer death!" Saying that, he slammed the spear that flew into the stabbing with one palm, and then his body swept in front of Xiao Shiyan like a flash, and then waved his right hand and grabbed his neck fiercely, Xiao Shiyan snorted, and fell to the ground with two frightened eyes wide open, Yi Qingfeng quickly took off his head and unfolded his body and quickly swept towards the east of the city.

Yi Qingfeng walked into the gate of the official mansion with Xiao Shiyan's head, and the county official looked at the head of the thief on the ground, and said with an unbelievable expression: "The strong man is really a god, and he will exterminate the thief in less than a day, which is really a five-body throw to the ground that the official admires." ”

Yi Qingfeng smiled and said: "My lord has won the prize, dare to ask my lord, can I receive the bounty now?"

The county magistrate said: "Of course, of course, this official has already been prepared." He said to a subordinate beside him, "Hurry up and get this hero's bounty." ”

Yi Qingfeng took the bounty of five hundred gold coins and arched his hand: "Thank you, my lord, there are still important things to do next, and I will leave first." ”

The county magistrate said: "The strong man has a good journey." ”

Yi Qingfeng nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

Out of the gate of the official mansion, Yi Qingfeng rushed to the jade shop yesterday in a hurry, as soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young man, why are you here again today?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "Boss, hurry up and take out the hosta from yesterday, I bought it." ”

The boss said, "I'm sorry, young man, you were a step late, and a young lady happened to buy it a few minutes ago." ”

Yi Qingfeng was shocked: "What! dare to ask which direction that young lady went?"

The boss said, "Go to the right side of the street." ”

Yi Qingfeng grabbed the door without saying a word, ran towards the street on the right, ran for a while, and sure enough, he saw a woman who looked like a young lady holding a brocade box in her hand and was walking forward slowly, and he said with peace of mind: "Thank God, I finally found it." Said hurriedly walked up to the woman and said, "The girl is disturbed, may I ask if the hosta in your hand can be sold to Zaixia, Zai Xia really needs it urgently." ”

A maid beside the woman said, "Who are you, our young lady has already bought this hosta, how can there be any reason to sell it to you?"

Yi Qingfeng begged: "Girl, I really need it urgently, in order to compensate for the girl's loss, I am willing to buy it at double the price." ”

Seeing Yi Qingfeng's pleading look, the woman softened her heart and said, "Since the son needs it so urgently, then the little woman will give this hosta to the child." As he spoke, he handed the brocade box in his hand to Yi Qingfeng

Yi Qingfeng was overjoyed and said: "The girl is really a bodhisattva, and I am grateful." As he spoke, he took out two hundred gold coins and handed them to the woman.

Yi Qingfeng took the brocade box into his arms and hurriedly ran towards the inn, Mu Qianqian, who had been anxiously waiting for a day, finally saw Yi Qingfeng come back, she raised her eyebrows and said: "Qingfeng, where did you run all day today?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "I happened to be in a bit of a hurry to go outside the city, you are in a hurry, let's eat first." ”

Mu Qianqian's face softened a little and said, "What are you doing sneaking behind my back?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "I've been tired for a day, and now I'm starving to death, I'll tell you more after eating." He said to the shopkeeper in front of the counter, "Little Er, bring us some good food and drink." ”

The shopkeeper shouted: "Okay, the two guest officers will wait for a while, and the wine and food will arrive soon." As he spoke, he hurried towards the back kitchen.

When night fell, the bright moon hung in the sky like a silver plate, Yi Qingfeng and Mu Qianqian walked side by side on the steps of an arched bridge after eating, a breeze blew on their faces, and the two of them suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

Mu Qianqian said happily: "After eating, I came out for a walk, my whole body is really comfortable, what do you think of Qingfeng?"

Yi Qingfeng said with a smile: "You're right, you see how beautiful the moonlight is tonight, what more can you ask for such a beautiful day and a beautiful woman to accompany your husband?"

As he was talking, a large group of people suddenly rushed up behind him, and they shouted: "Hurry up, everyone, go to the gate of the government to watch the fireworks show, today the government has exterminated the robbers of Chixia Mountain, and the government will set off fireworks to celebrate." ”

A group of people ran too happy, accidentally knocked Yi Qingfeng walking on the bridge almost fell to the ground, Yi Qingfeng stumbled forward a few steps before stabilizing his body, but the brocade box in his arms was knocked out and fell into the river, Yi Qingfeng was shocked, he flew up with an arrow step, and rushed towards the river under the bridge, Mu Qianqian on the bridge was dumbfounded, she exclaimed: "Qingfeng, what are you doing?"

Yi Qingfeng threw himself into the river and quickly grabbed the sinking brocade box in his hand, and then urged the true qi to rush out of the water and fall back to the bridge. As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the water droplets on Yi Qingfeng's face.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came in the distance, and dazzling fireworks bloomed on the black canopy, as if a colorful meteor shower was falling, Mu Qianqian cheered and said: "Breeze, look, what beautiful fireworks." ”

Yi Qingfeng held Mu Qianqian's hands tightly, then took out the crystal clear hosta in the brocade box and inserted it into her black and shiny bun and said affectionately: "Qianqian, you are so beautiful, you must have been Chang'e in the Moon Palace in your last life, and I only want to be able to stay with you until I am old and never be separated in this life." Saying that, she gently took her into her arms, Mu Qianqian leaned on Yi Qingfeng's thick and warm chest, staring at the colorful flowers in the sky like meteors, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
