Chapter 41: The Seat of Xichuan County
The county seat of Nishikawa
Two doormen stood listlessly on either side.
"Brother Li, it's so late, no one will come, why are we still 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.
The woman turned over neatly and dismounted: "Enter the city!"
Meng Er's eyes rolled: "Enter the city for a moment or two..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Si: "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 a woman who walks alone can't be messed with?"
"You've read too many martial arts novels!"
......
The person who entered the city was none other than Fang Xile.
She hurried slowly, 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!"
"It's hot and hot! It's not delicious, and you don't need money!"
"Girl, do you want silk flowers, the new style, keep it that you haven't seen anywhere else. โ
The two rows of taverns are brightly lit, and the sound of people talking and laughing 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.
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 a hundred elites of the Black Armor Army, and the captain is a thousand-leggion, and the unfavored ones are given to ordinary black-armored 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.
The face is divided, which actually shows that he has no chance to inherit the unification.
Fortunately, Qin Yuchuan knew that he could not get the throne, and he was not disappointed, and worked hard to improve the living environment of the people in Xichuan, which 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.
Her true qi attribute is special, and she can restrain yin qi, as long as anyone has a heart, she can find out.
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 go over when you have a mission.
Fang Xile was worried that ghosts were difficult to find, and someone did it for him, and the two hit it off immediately.
After participating in Zhang Chao's inheritance ceremony, she trekked for half a month and finally arrived in Xichuan County.
After a while, Fang Xile stood in front of the Yuelai Inn.
It seems that no matter which country or which world, inns like to be called Yuelai.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
"Stay. โ
"Girl, please, don't you want to eat something, the buns in our inn are super delicious!"
"Nope. โ
I just ate a drawer of big buns, and now my burps are all bun flavors.
"Let's go to the room!"
"A tael of silver. โ
"Pour some more hot water and bring it to the room. โ
"Okay!"
Fang Xile threw the silver on the counter, if she could, she didn't want to be harsh on herself.
Just as I was about to go upstairs, someone from behind me suddenly shouted, "This girl, please wait a minute." โ
The person who came was a young man dressed as a Taoist priest, in his twenties, wearing a blue Taoist robe, his hair tied up with a silver crown, and a sword behind him.
The facial features are upright, the sword eyebrows go straight into the bun, and he is upright, and he is elegant in the vastness.
What a righteous and awe-inspiring little Taoist!
At this time, the Taoist priest was staring at Fang Xile with a serious face.
"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!"
Be quiet
Deathly quiet
"Poofโ"
Xiao Er squirted out the water he drank in one gulp.
"yes, I'm sorry, I'll clean it up. โ
The corners of Fang Xile's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his finger and hooked it: "You get closer." โ
The Taoist priest's face was twisted: "Girl, this is not good. โ
Fang Xile threw a punch suddenly.
"Bumpโ"
The Taoist priest flew straight up and knocked over the table.
Fang Xile sneered: "Daoist, I also calculated a hexagram, you owe a beating!"
In the inn, even the air was still this time.
Knocking people away with one punch is definitely an acquired martial artist.
Everyone looked at the Taoist priest sympathetically, and now he was going to be sent to the hospital.
"Ahem"
The Taoist priest climbed up against the wall, as if he was fine, and he still had time to worry about the clothes on his body.
"Girl, if you have something to say, how can you be rough, Xiaodao is just a good dress, what if it is torn? What if it is dirty? I have important things to do tomorrow. โ
Everyone's sympathy immediately turned into disdain, tsk, so resistant, this is probably also an acquired martial artist, how lazy you are if you are so poor.
