Chapter 42: A New Chapter
The county seat of Nishikawa
Two doormen stood listlessly on either side.
"Brother Li, it's so late, no one will come, what are we standing here?"
The other doorman was also a little tired: "Wait, it's not time yet!"
"It's just a cup of tea away, and no one will find out. โ
Meng Er complained, yawning loudly, the two of them lost the bet, and as a result, their legs were weak from early in the morning until now.
"Look, someone is coming!"
The doorman surnamed Li pointed to the distance and said.
In the distance, a black dot is rapidly approaching, from small to large, getting closer and closer.
The two gradually saw that it was a fast horse galloping, and the horse was ridden by a woman in a black samurai costume with a knife at her waist, and behind the woman sat a small child, dressed in gray clothes, the material was not good, but it was very clean.
The woman reflexively dismounted: "Enter the city!"
Meng Er's eyes rolled: "Enter the city for a moment or two..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Si interrupted him: "Enter the city for a copper coin." โ
The woman nodded, took out two copper coins and paid them to the doorman.
He led his horse into the city.
"Li Si, what are you doing!" Meng Er was not happy, as soon as he looked at her horse, he knew that he was a rich man, and he didn't take the opportunity to knock on it.
"Haven't you heard that women and children who walk alone can't be messed with?"
"You've read too many novels!"
......
The people who entered the city were none other than Fang Xile and steamed buns.
They hurried and hurried, and finally entered the county town before closing the gate.
The county town is indeed much more prosperous than the county seat, with a wall four meters high, and there are soldiers walking back and forth to guard it.
When you enter the city, you will see a wide street, more than enough for two horse-drawn carriages to walk side by side, and many stalls on both sides of the road are still in full swing doing business.
"Buy red fruits, the last bit left, sell them cheaply!"
"Freshly baked buns!"
"Girl, do you want silk flowers, the new style, keep it that you haven't seen anywhere else. โ
The taverns in the two rows are brightly lit, and the chatter and laughter of the people inside can be heard clearly.
Fang Xile blinked, and there was a moment of trance, as if he had returned to the era when the business atmosphere was strong and he could order takeout in the middle of the night.
Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, whether it is a festival or not, is homesick.
"Sister!"
The steamed bun dragged her down and looked at the bun shop with a blank eye.
Fang Xile understood: "How much is a bun?"
"Two texts and one, my bun is the best, the skin is thin and the filling is big, and the meat is enough, how many do you want?"
The bun seller asked with a smile on his face, rubbing his hands.
After a while, Fang Xile and the steamed buns rounded all the steamed buns, leaving the stunned steamed bun sellers alone.
"It's delicious!" The steamed bun smiled so much that his eyes were gone: "My sister eats it too." โ
The buns have just been baked, steaming hot, and just looking at them makes people feel appetizing.
After a while, a large steamed bun was eaten up by the two.
Fang Xile is a martial artist and has a large amount of food.
As for the steamed buns, I don't know if they are hungry in Yang Village, they can eat them very well, and they are super protective of food.
After eating, Fang Xile was in a better mood, and the sudden sadness just now must have been because he didn't eat enough.
Sure enough, people are iron and rice are steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be sad.
After eating, I have to find an inn, have a good rest, and go to the county king's mansion tomorrow to apply for a job.
Before Zhou Yongxian left Hongqing County, he went to find Fang Xile.
Although he is nominally the Great Qin Black Armor Army, he has always protected the fourth prince Qin Yuchuan and is regarded as his private army.
Great Qin would assign 100 to 500 black-armored soldiers to each prince to protect their safety.
In addition to the crown prince, every prince, the Qin Emperor gave a hundred black armor soldiers, which seemed fair, but in fact it was not.
The favored prince is an elite of the Black Armor Army, and the captain is a thousand-commander, and the unfavored ones are just ordinary Black Armor soldiers, and the captain is only a centurion.
Qin Yuchuan is the unfavored prince.
His mother was a palace maid, and she had no power behind her, and she would not please Emperor Qin, so she was sent out as soon as she became an adult and gave Xichuan County to him as a fief.
In fact, it shows that he has no chance of inheriting the throne.
Fortunately, Qin Yuchuan knew that he could not get the throne, so he was not disappointed, and worked hard to improve the living environment of the people in Xichuan, but he was quite loved by the locals.
Recently, he wanted to find some strange people to help deal with the ghosts in Xichuan County, so that they would not harass the people.
Zhou Yong's first search for Fang Xile is also related to this matter.
Fang Xile's true qi attribute is special, and the things that can restrain yin qi can be heard by anyone who cares.
Zhou Yongxian saw that she didn't meet the standards of the four princes, so he came to ask her wishes.
The treatment is good, there is a supply of pills, and there is no restriction on personal freedom, you can go at any time if you want to, and the task is to kill demons and ghosts, which will be a little dangerous.
You don't usually have to stay in the county king's mansion, as long as you come over when you have a mission.
Fang Xile was also worried about finding trouble with ghosts, and the two hit it off.
After participating in Zhang Chao's inheritance ceremony, she immediately set off, trekked for half a month, and finally arrived in Xichuan County.
"Let's go, Mantou, let's find an inn to rest for the night. โ
Fang Xile patted his ass and stood up.
After a while, the two of them stood in front of the Yuelai Inn, as if no matter which country or which world, the inn likes to call Yuelai.
"Guest officer, are you two?
"Stay. โ
"Please, don't you want to eat something, the buns in our inn are super delicious!"
"Nope. โ
The two of them had just eaten a drawer of big buns, and now the burps are all bun flavors.
"Let's go to the room!"
"A tael of silver!"
"Pour some more hot water and bring it to the room. โ
Fang Xile threw the silver on the counter, she didn't want to blame herself if she had the chance.
After all, the upper room in this world is equivalent to a modern guest house, with two flat beds, a set of tables and chairs, and the sheets may not be clean.
That is, the place is larger, and there is a large open space in addition to the furniture.
Is it to let the guests move before going to bed so as not to accumulate food?
What a sweetness!
The two of them were about to go up, when someone suddenly shouted from behind, "This girl, please wait a minute." โ
It was a young man dressed as a Taoist priest, estimated to be in his twenties, wearing a blue Taoist robe, his hair tied up with a silver crown, and a sword behind his back.
The facial features are upright, the sword eyebrows go straight into the bun, and he is upright, and he is elegant in the vastness.
At this time, the young Taoist priest was staring at Fang Xile solemnly.
"Excuse me... What is the matter with this Dao Master?"
The young Taoist priest made a gesture to meet the Taoist family and said, "Don't blame the girl, I just saw the girl's face, and I couldn't help but calculate a hexagram." โ
"Oh?"
Fang Xile raised her eyebrows, if in her previous life, she would definitely turn around and leave, but in this life, there are warriors and ghosts, maybe there are people who can tell fortunes and look at their faces.
The Taoist priest looked at her seriously and said.
"Girl, I calculated a hexagram, you lack water in your five elements, and you lack me in your life!"
There was a moment of silence in the air.
"Poofโ"
It was Xiao Er who squirted out the water he drank in one gulp.
"yes, I'm sorry, I'll clean it up. โ
The steamed bun raised his head: "Sister, what does this mean?"
The corners of Fang Xile's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his finger and hooked it: "You get closer." โ
The Taoist priest stepped forward, and his expression suddenly changed: "Girl, do you smell anything strange?"
"What?"
"When I got close to you, I suddenly felt so sweet!"
Fang Xile gritted his teeth: "You get closer." โ
The Taoist priest's eyes lit up, but he said, "It's inconvenient." โ
"No, it's only convenient for you to come here. โ
"Okay, then the trail will pass. โ
The Taoist priest really took two more steps forward, just about to speak.
Fang Xile suddenly punched, knocked him out with one punch, and sneered: "Daoist, I calculated a hexagram, you lack money in the five elements, and you owe a beating in your life!"
Even the air in the inn was still this time.
One punch flying, this is definitely a cyclone warrior.
Everyone looked at the Taoist priest sympathetically, and now he was going to be sent to the hospital.
The Taoist priest climbed up with his support for the wall, as if he was fine, and he still had time to worry about the clothes on his body: "Girl, how can you be rough, Xiaodao is just a good dress, what if it is broken? What if it is dirty? I have important things to do tomorrow." โ
Everyone's sympathy immediately turned into disdain, tsk, this is probably also a cyclone warrior, how lazy are you a cyclone warrior mixed like this.
"Heh, why can't I be rough, I'll beat you once you come over!"
Fang Xile turned around and left with the steamed buns.
......
The Prince's Mansion
In the garden, two people sit opposite each other and drink tea.
One person was dressed in dark clothes, delicate and atmospheric piping embroidery, light and soft fabric, the clothes seemed to be able to be automatic without wind, part of the long hair was tied up with a warm jade inlaid silver crown, and the rest was draped behind him, floating slightly with the wind. looks even better than a woman, but she doesn't feel feminine at all, but has a kind of freedom and freedom of children in the rivers and lakes.
This person is the owner of the Junwang Mansion - Qin Yuchuan.
"Zi, Yongxian came back from Hongqing County and said that he had found a helper for you. โ
"How to cultivate, let's talk about it first, if it's too weak, I won't agree. The ghost thing is too dangerous, and I can barely protect myself, but I can't protect the other person. โ
The person on the other side pouted.
"The three-layer cultivation of the cyclone has special true qi attributes, and it can restrain yin qi. โ
"Oh, can you restrain yin qi, what attribute, fire, or thunder?"
Qin Yuchuan shook his head: "I don't know, you can ask when she comes." โ
"Of course I'm going to ask, and I'm going to put it to the test. โ
"Then you have to be merciful. โ
"Huh?" The person on the other side raised his head instantly, his eyes glowing: "Could it be a girl?"
Qin Yuchuan knew his temperament very well, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, that's exactly the case! How about it, do you still want to test it?"
The person on the other side looked serious: "I believe in Brother Zhou's vision, the person he is looking for will definitely not be bad!"
Here, Fang Xile took Zhou Yongxian's letter of introduction, and under the leadership of the servant, he walked into the county king's mansion.
After passing through the spacious courtyard, bypassing a bamboo garden, and walking along the corridor of the main building in the bamboo garden to the end, you will see a gazebo, set up on the water, and two people are sitting in the pavilion talking and laughing.
The servant saluted respectfully: "Lord Wang, people have brought it." โ
Fang Xile stepped forward: "I've seen the prince!"
Two people in the pavilion turned their heads, and one of them exclaimed, "Why are you!"
