Chapter Seventy-One
Early in the morning of the second day, before the sky was clear, Mo Beichen simply packed his bags, changed his appearance a little, and quietly left with the token of forgiveness.
In addition to Wu Yu and Shui Qingwei, the matter of his departure was only known to Yang Liu and Yuxue, the two personal maids. With red eyes, the two helped Mo Beichen pack up, and then stood silently outside the small dome building, watching him leave.
Mo Beichen has been silent since he returned from talking with Shui Qingwei yesterday. Although his expression didn't change much, the careful Yang Liu and Yuxue knew that Mo Beichen must have something in his heart and didn't want to say it.
The two knew that Mo Beichen had something on their minds, but they couldn't do anything.
Even late yesterday night, Mo Beichen calmly told them that the next day was out of the valley, even if the two had thousands of questions and reluctance, they could only hold back in their hearts. The young palace master's approach has his own thoughts. What they are most worried about now is what to do with Mo Beichen's daily life and diet after he leaves the valley, and they don't know if anyone will take good care of him.
The mountain road in the early morning was always a little wet, and Mo Beichen stepped on it step by step and walked south. This slow walk has been going on for more than ten miles.
After realizing that he had completely left the misty forest around Yue Valley, Mo Beichen's last hope in his heart finally came to an end. The shadows of the trees on the road became more and more hideous, and you could even hear the cry of the night owl, which made people feel chilling.
He looked back and took a deep look, and there were no other colors in the layers of tree trunks and branches behind him.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Beichen's body jumped, stepped on the trunk of a giant tree that was tall and empty, and escaped from this somewhat gloomy fog forest like the wind.
At this moment, on the white jade-like snow layer on the top of the mountain, the golden morning sun is rising, sucking the mist in the forest, and the air is even more moist, like the corners of the eyes stained with tears. A few goshawks emerged from the cliff, and with a long roar, their wings hovered and hit the sky, and it was the beginning of another day.
A few days later, on the bustling Duanzhou Avenue.
Duanzhou is worthy of being the richest and most prosperous place in Dayue. This can be seen from the crowds of people who come and go.
Pedestrians here are dressed in all sorts of ways. There are foreign business travelers in fancy clothes, or graceful and glamorous women, heroic and burly men in strong clothes, or heroic and sassy famous children, or well-dressed rich young masters, wearing soap clothes to catch fast tolerance...... Of course, the most people on the street are still ordinary people in ordinary clothes.
These people are dressed differently from ordinary people, and they are obviously outsiders. This group of people dressed in all kinds of clothes spoke to each other in different accents, in groups or in small groups, and it was rare to see them alone.
And at this moment, there was a figure slowly passing through the crowd, dressed ordinary. But when I looked at this person, I knew that he was not a local. Because he is carrying a burden that is not too big or small, the whole person is dusty.
This person has a dark yellow face, a blue-gray cloth coat, and only the baggage on his body is new. Staying in the crowd, it seems very ordinary and abrupt.
People who come and go simply don't set their eyes on such an inconspicuous person. The occasional gaze swept over the blue-gray coat before quickly moving away. No one stays long, because there's no need for that.
Mo Beichen has been rushing desperately for several days, and he has not rested for a night at all. The body seems to be inexhaustible, and there are traces of decay under this practice. However, this is also beneficial, the fatigue of the journey has made Mo Beichen clear his mind well, and his heart is no longer confused, at least on the surface.
Carrying the burden in his hand, Mo Beichen walked into the largest inn on the right side of the street.
This inn is solemn and magnificent, the door plaque is engraved with "Tianxiang Inn" four black seal characters, and there is a red seal of the word "perch" in the corner of the inconspicuous place.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he greeted the elegant Xiao Er with a smile on his face, and greeted him with a mouth: "Guest officer, are you alone? ”
Mo Beichen smiled slightly: "One person, give me an ordinary guest room." Now eat first. ”
"Okay. Guest officer, please. Xiao Er happily hung the white cloth in his hand over his shoulders and called to the shopkeeper, "This guest is staying, the second room with yellow characters." Now serve some food and drinks to the window table on the second floor. ”
Mo Beichen handed over some silver taels at the counter, rewarded this clever little second by the way, and then followed the little second to a secluded corner by the window on the second floor and sat down.
After a while, the wine and food came up. Mo Beichen poured wine and looked at the surrounding environment. It's a good location that doesn't attract attention and has a clear view of the surrounding situation. The second floor is basically full of people, all of whom are groups of Jianghu people, talking about the martial arts conference held in Duanzhou half a month later, and the atmosphere is very warm.
A burly man sitting at the central table held a bowl of wine and said loudly: "This martial arts conference is a major event in the rivers and lakes. Not only that, but it is said that the world's Oiran banquet hosted by the world's largest fang, Shen Yanfang, was also held during this period. We don't just have to watch, we also have to play. Lao Tzu's visit this time is really in vain. ”
A white-faced middle-aged scholar at the table next to him frowned, shook his folding fan and said, "The martial arts conference should be a matter for the people of the rivers and lakes. Why will this Qiying Building be undertaken by what kind of Qiying Building? This Qiying Building is just a copper-smelling merchant who has only gained a reputation for a few years, and it is really inappropriate to do so. ”
Hearing this, Mo Beichen twisted the corners of his eyebrows, and then couldn't help but smile, and continued to listen to these people's opinions while eating.
Someone at a table at the corner of the stairs let out a disdainful laugh, and then said maliciously, "The jade-faced scholar is really very tall. If you don't think it's appropriate, why bother to come here to eat and use. Don't the people of the rivers and lakes have to eat, drink and Lazar, if you have to play, you can afford to look up to you, why do you pretend to get cheap and sell well? Lao Tzu is not as picky as you, Lao Tzu thinks that this Ziqi Studio is very capable, Lao Tzu just admires that they can make a lot of money and hold a conference. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to that side, wanting to see who didn't know the height of the sky and dared to say such presumptuous words in front of Qi Shibao, a jade-faced scholar who had been famous for a long time.
At this glance, I didn't care, but I saw a young man in tattered clothes sitting there gnawing on a piece of braised chicken legs, with Erlang's legs crossed indecently, and the rotten boots on his feet were torn a few holes, and his five toes were all exposed.
Qi Shibao was still guessing why Fang Divine was so bold, but when he saw that it was a sloppy young man in his twenties, he was suddenly furious, shook his hand and slapped the table and reprimanded: "The vertical son is rude, and he dares to maliciously hurt me." If it weren't for your young age, I would definitely not let you go. Hum. ”
These words gave the young man three points of face, after all, usually a person with a little prestige in the rivers and lakes disdains to be as knowledgeable as a junior. However, judging from Qi Shibao's true behavior, I am afraid that if he does not investigate it on the surface, he will secretly make it bad.
The young man smiled, patted his chest with his greasy hand, and said in a sharp voice: "Lao Tzu is so afraid." For the sake of your lack of accountability, Lao Tzu will not say that you deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, and the good deeds of capturing the * girl pulled-"
After speaking, when everyone was shocked by these words and did not react, the man jumped away and shouted: "Xiao Er, today's wine money is invited by this jade-faced scholar." Lao Tzu took the first step. ”
When Qi Shibao heard this, the white face also turned into a black face, what the young man said was right, the evil deeds he did many years ago were easily picked out by the young man, although everyone didn't know whether it was true or not, but as soon as this word was spread, it would definitely be harmful.
This time, he really had the heart to kill his mouth.
His eyes were cold, he held the folding fan in his hand, and as soon as his body moved, he swept in front of the young man, and made a ruthless move, using full strength.
Before everyone could come back to their senses, they saw that the fight had begun, and they were busy watching how the young man could escape these killing moves. Of course, many people also pinched a cold sweat for the youth.
But this should be redundant.
Before the young man's mouth could be wiped off, he saw him lean back, easily escaping this fatal move.
Then the sloppy young man picked up a cleanly gnawed chicken leg bone on the table, and threw it at Qi Shibao seemingly casually, and the angry jade-faced scholar froze with a hideous face in an instant.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, he was so easily pointed at the acupoint by the young man that he couldn't move.
In this case, even the person who originally wanted to make a career for the jade-faced scholar hurriedly put away the fist that stretched out his sleeve, this young man seems simple, but in fact it is not easy to mess with. In this martial arts conference where the dragon and the tiger are crouching, a slight dispute is easy to lose one's life.
The young man glanced lazily at the crowd, then wiped his mouth with his tattered sleeve and said, "The things in this shop taste really good, but the people are a little noisy." ”
As he spoke, he smacked his lips and walked to the window, but no one dared to stop him, for fear of provoking a fire.
The young man did not leave immediately, but suddenly walked to Mo Beichen's table, stared at a plate of white chopped chicken on the table with shining eyes, and said with drool: "This handsome and dashing jade tree brother in the wind, if you don't mind, you can give this plate of chicken to my brother, I don't thank you for my great kindness, and I will report it next time." ”
Mo Beichen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." By the way, this towel is also attached to the brother's platform. ”
The young man took the towel stupidly, then touched the back of his head, and wondered: "Isn't it a woman who gives a towel to her lover? I'll take this thing first as a token of love. Hehe, Lao Tzu has grown so big, it's the first time someone has confessed to me. Hey, I don't know what to do. Forget it, brother, let's meet again. I'll think about it......"
Before the words were finished, the young man jumped away from the windowsill on the second floor, Mo Beichen looked out of the window stupidly, only to see that the person jumped away quickly like a rabbit, and disappeared in a moment.
After a moment of consternation, a few drops of sweat broke out of Mo Beichen's brain, with a wry smile on his face.
Normal people know that the towel is for the young man to wipe his mouth, who would think of any hellish love token. I don't know if this crazy young man is really stupid or fake, but there is no doubt that he is not a normal person.
Besides, this mischievous young man easily patted his ass and walked away, leaving such a big mess, who would settle it? He had good intentions for a while, as if he had accidentally caused trouble again, because at this time everyone's eyes were looking at this head with anger......
