Chapter 418: Sha Feng and Qiao Qixing (Second Watch)
The next day, Jin Xin and the others got up to wash, and when they came downstairs, they found that the entire Yafeng Inn was empty, and there was no one downstairs. The door was open, the wind was blowing in, and the dry cold made people feel stuffy.
Ziqin glanced at the lobby and said, "Why is there no one?" β
Qiji said: "They didn't come back late. β
Ziqin was surprised and said, "It seems that the situation of that boss lady is really not good. β
Hearing this, Qiji quietly glanced at the black spider next to him who was silent.
Chen Qing said loudly: "Let's eat something nearby, let's go straight to the road." β
Jin Xin nodded: "That's very good." β
The money had already been paid, and a few people took their bags and got into the carriage directly.
The carriage was bought by Chen Xinqing, it looks much bigger, and it is carefully designed inside, and it is very warm to sit inside.
A few people took a carriage to a nearby place to have a simple breakfast, and then set off on the road.
However, just halfway through the journey, there was a man in the way.
The person blocking the road is none other than Ma Huatian, who is anxious because of the loss of jewelry.
Jin Xin sat in the carriage, looked at Ma Huatian, who was blocking the way, and smiled: "Boss Ma, what is this for?" β
Ma Huatian stopped in front of the carriage with a few people from the rivers and lakes, looked at Jin Xin, smiled slightly, and said, "Is Miss Fifth knowingly asking?" Why did I behave like this, Miss Five, shouldn't you be the one who knows the inside story best? β
Jin Xin looked at Ma Huatian, his heart was like a mirror, but he pretended to be puzzled on his face: "What does Boss Ma mean by this?" I don't understand. β
Ma Huatian didn't bother to go around in circles with Jin Xin, and said straight to the point: "Fifth Miss, I don't have any other malice in the matter of that day. It's just a temporary joke, why should Miss Five mind so much, in the end, doesn't Miss Five have no loss at all? My jewelry is not a simple gadget, how much does it sustain my net worth, Miss Five, I have been doing business for so many years, and the cooperation has been quite pleasant, so I won't tear my face like this, right? β
When Jin Xin heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "The more Boss Ma said this, the more I couldn't understand it, what kind of misunderstanding was there?" What happened that day? That, Boss Ma's jewelry, why did you get in touch with me? Could it be that Boss Ma is talking about the next time the good embroidery workshop enters the jewelry? β
Ma Huatian saw that Jin Xin was going to pretend to the end, and he wanted to say something, so he heard Jin Xin continue to talk to himself there: "Boss Ma has a heart, it's just that I'm going to be in a hurry today, I'm afraid I can't delay talking about business with Boss Ma." But the good embroidery workshop doesn't need to buy any jewelry recently, I think, how about we talk about it next time? β
"Fifth Miss, are you sure you want to pretend to be stupid to the end?"
Jin Xin blinked: "What does Boss Ma mean today?" β
"Fifth Miss, Ming people don't say secret words, I know that the stolen jewels were done by you, Fifth Miss."
"What did I do?"
Jin Xin's eyes widened in surprise: "Boss Ma, are you sure?" I'm not familiar with this north at all, and this is your territory, are you sure I have that ability? If so, why did I ask Boss Ma to help protect me before? β
ββ¦β¦β
Ma Huatian naturally knew that Jin Xin had always been clever and eloquent, but he didn't expect to be so good at pretending to be stupid, too, he had long known Jin Xin's cleverness, this woman already knew how to make things develop in his favor, otherwise, why did he chase her for so many years in the past and didn't catch up at all? also in business, giving her a lot of convenience.
It's really a loss for my wife and a soldier.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Jin Xin's little Jiujiu, but after all, he took a fancy to her, and he didn't care about it because he gave up some profits.
I just didn't expect that one day, I would have to give up so much.
Thinking about it, I was also a little remorseful, before, it was a tendon in my brain that was wrong, and he would make such a move because he was unwilling, which angered her, otherwise, he would not be so embarrassed now.
Alas, how could I have thought that Jin Xin was clearly desperate at the beginning, how could he still have such ability?
She was certainly not as troubled as she appeared to be.
Just thinking about it, I saw that behind Jin Xin's carriage, Chen Qing rode over on a tall horse.
He had to pay and pack dry food, so he was delayed for a while.
When Ma Huatian saw Chen Qing, he felt a little familiar, but he didn't know where he had seen it.
Trying to think about it, when he reacted, this was Chen Qingshi, the personal guard beside Yu Zijing, and the whole person woke up.
Shouldn't this Chen Qing follow Yu Zijing and fight against Xi Chu? How did you get here?
Chen Qing drove the horse to the side of the carriage, glanced at the shocked Ma Huatian lightly, and then asked Jin Xin: "Madam, why don't you leave?" β
Jin Xin smiled lightly and said: "Boss Ma seems to have some misunderstanding with us, the theory of stopping the car." β
"Oh?"
When Chen Qing heard this, he evoked a smile, turned his head meaningfully to look at Ma Huatian in front of him, and said, "This is Boss Ma?" β
Ma Huatian only laughed dryly, and said: "I have been looking up for a long time, I have long heard that General Tiance has a powerful guard by his side, Chen Qingchen guard, and it is really a blessing to see him today." β
Chen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and responded lightly to his politeness: "I have also heard the name of Boss Ma a long time ago." Boss Ma doesn't know, our general is very concerned about his wife, what his wife is doing outside, and what people are dealing with around him, our general knows. Of course, these things are naturally left to me to do. So, a long time ago, I knew that Boss Ma was such a person. Boss Ma may be the first time to see me, but it's not the first time I've met Boss Ma. I often tell our general that Boss Ma takes great care of our wife. β
When talking about the word "care", Chen Qing deliberately deepened his tone, no matter how he sounded, it was a little meaningful.
Ma Huatian was so smart, he heard it all of a sudden, his face changed subtly, and his smile became even drier.
Chen Qing was still there and said: "Oh, by the way, I don't know if Boss Ma has any misunderstanding about us, blocking the road like this?" β
Chen Qing said, glancing at the people in the rivers and lakes behind Ma Huatian.
Ma Huatian was stunned, and when he reacted, he immediately put on a smile: "Oh, what's the misunderstanding?" Nothing. β
The meaning of Chen Qing's words just now is already very obvious to imply that Yu Zijing knew that he was plotting against Jin Xin, and as soon as this point was made clear, Yu Zijing was brought out.
Gritting his teeth, this time the loss can only be admitted.
He hurriedly beckoned people to get out of the way, and said, "I knew that Fifth Miss might have to leave today, so I specially brought someone to see Fifth Miss off." β
When Jin Xin heard this, he sneered and said on his face: "Really? That's because I misunderstood Boss Ma. β
Ma Huatian heard the ridicule in her words, and smiled a little embarrassed on his face.
"Then, Boss Ma, take your leave."
Jin Xin said with a smile and glanced at Chen Qing.
Chen Qing understood and nodded at the coachman.
The carriage continued to move.
This time, with Chen Qing accompanying them, Black Spider and Qi Ji were still following in the dark as before, and along the way, they were much safer than before.
Ziqin looked at Jin Xin and said, "Madam, haven't you encountered many killers before?" I'm wondering if these killers have something to do with Boss Ma. β
Jin Xin nodded and said, "I think so too." β
"But why would Boss Ma do something like that?"
"Probably just trying to push me to a dead end, and then ask him for help. But ......" Jin Xin paused and said thoughtfully: "I think that those batches of killers are not all sent by Ma Huatian. β
"Madame, mean, there are others who want to kill us?"
"It's still speculation now, and we'll see it later. Our most urgent task now is to rush to the central and northern parts of the country as much as possible to get that batch of goods back, and if we delay it like this, we are afraid that we will have many dreams at night. β
"That's what Madame said."
This departure has been a lot of smooth along the way, except for the occasional one or two encounters with a little danger, the others can simply be described as unimpeded.
Jin Xin took it off, mostly because Chen Qing and other secret guards were there, and there was more protection.
After about ten days of fast horses, a few people finally arrived in the central north.
Different from Furong City, Shacheng is the largest city in the north, looking no less than the prosperity of the famous city in the south, and people come and go, very lively, the people dress differently from other places, it looks a little more heroic and refreshing, the girls here are also much more enthusiastic and generous than other places, it looks very cute, the things sold on the street are some jewelry and spices and other things unique to the north, the buildings of the houses are domed, it looks different, and the unique exotic customs are revealed everywhere.
Jin Xin they lived in a residential style inn, the room was a single-family second-floor attic in the courtyard, the attic was of moderate size, the layout was clean and tidy, it was also very warm, and it was very comfortable to live.
When I checked in that night, a few people simply cleaned up and went to bed early.
The next day.
Jin Xin went out and found Shafu.
"My young lady is not here, and she went out to run errands."
The disciple of the Sand Wolf Sect spoke.
When Jin Xin heard this, he frowned slightly: "Then, do you know when she will come back?" β
The man looked Jin Xin up and down, although he was surprised by Jin Xin's beauty, he showed a little hostility: "Our young lady has always had her own opinions, and we never ask too much." β
Jin Xin felt as if he had been deliberately pricked with a needle, vaguely uncomfortable, but not so obvious, he couldn't go up or down in one breath, like a fish in his throat, it was also strange.
Jin Xin looked at the man, thought about it, and estimated that there would be no result if he asked any more, so he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Ziqin, let's go, come back again."
Ziqin nodded.
Jin Xin said to the man: "When Miss Sha comes back, I will help me tell her, and I will say that Jin Xin has come to find her and now lives in Dishiju." If it is convenient for Miss Sha, please notify me, and I will come back to visit at that time. β
said, without waiting for the man's stunned expression, he took Ziqin away directly.
Chen Qing was waiting not far away, and saw someone coming, "Why did you come back so soon?" β
Ziqin said: "Miss Sha is not in the house. β
Hearing this, Chen Qing nodded: "That's it." β
He looked at Jin Xin: "Then madam, let's go back first, shall we?" β
"That's all there is to it."
A few people walked to the inn where they lived, it was rare to come to Shacheng, the street scene was completely different from what they had seen in the past, everywhere made people look fresh, Jin Xin took Ziqin all the way to take a look, it was originally quite a distance, but at this time, it was not so far.
At this time, Ziqin suddenly saw that in front of her, Sha Feng and Qiao Qixing were walking in their direction one after the other.
"Madam, look, aren't those the second owner and Miss Sha?"
Jin Xin was originally looking at things, planning to buy some gadgets to take back to Fengfeng and Qiao Qiao to play, when he heard Ziqin's words, he looked in the direction Ziqin pointed, and sure enough, he saw Sha Feng and Qiao Qixing.
Sha Feng walked in front, her face was gloomy, her brows were about to wrinkle together, she pouted, looking obviously angry, and Qiao Qixing followed behind her, her face was light and breezy, and the corners of her mouth were still touching a faint smile, it seemed that her mood was much better than Sha Feng, but every time she looked at Sha Feng, there was always a little helpless favor in her eyes.
These two people were walking on the street, and they both had the momentum of being like no one on the side, but the people around them invariably took the initiative to give way to them, and from time to time they peeked a few times, but they didn't dare to look more, and immediately withdrew their gaze.
The vendor of the stall where Jin Xin was standing saw that side and said with a smile: "Ah, Miss Sha and Qiao Erzhuang have come out to shop again." β
When Jin Xin heard this, he looked at the vendor: "What, do they often go out shopping like this?" β
"yes. Every now and then, you have to come out. The peddler said, but said with a smile: "Actually, the main thing is that Miss Sha is busy and often has to come out to deal with things, the Sand Wolf Sect is an important sect here, Sha Lao is highly respected, and the people of Shacheng respect him very much, even the official master has to rely on Sha Lao many times, and Sha Lao is also very good, and it is incumbent on him to help take care of Shacheng." However, in recent years, Sha Lao's age has gradually increased, and the Sand Wolf faction has been handed over to Miss Sha little by little, and the things that were originally in charge of Sha Lao are now almost all handled by Miss Sha. So Miss Sha is very busy, meeting this person today, meeting that person tomorrow, dealing with this matter today, and dealing with that matter tomorrow. Everyone hasn't seen her idle. No, this martial arts conference is held in our Sand City, and the Sand Wolf Sect is in charge, so Miss Sha is even busier. β
Jin Xin nodded when he heard this, he had already heard that Sha Feng was capable, but listening to it at this time, he listened to it in much more detail than in the past.
The peddler was still talking: "However, with the second owner here, Miss Sha is really a lot more relaxed." β
When Jin Xin heard this, he smiled: "It is said that the second owner of the village is pursuing Miss Sha, is it true?" β
"It's true." The peddler smiled: "In the past, our Miss Sha was wholeheartedly pursuing the second owner. However, now that feng shui is in turn, it is the turn of the second owner to come over and chase our young lady. It's a pity that our young lady doesn't seem to like the second owner anymore, and identifies Yu Haotian, the second son of the Yu faction, no matter how much the second owner shows goodwill, people just don't admit it at all. Speaking of which, after all, the second son of the Yu family is Miss Sha's fiancΓ©e, and it is understandable that the second miss will identify him. It's just a pity, everyone knows it, that second son, ......"
The peddler said, raised his eyes and looked around, covered his mouth, and whispered to Jin Xin: "It's just that the mud can't support the wall, and the ambition is useless." No one values him. β
Jin Xin was silent and did not speak.
Over there, Sha Feng and Qiao Qixing had already come this way. Neither of them seemed to notice her side yet, though.
Jin Xin smiled lightly, turned around, and walked over.
Over there, Qiao Qixing was about to pull Sha Feng to speak, when he saw Jin Xin coming from the crowd, she was a rare beautiful woman, even if she was hidden in the crowd, she was so eye-catching, as long as she glanced in that direction, she could be recognized at a glance.
Qiao Qixing just received the words that came to his mouth, looked over there, and was a little surprised, "Jin Xin!" β
Sha Feng on the side was stunned.
Qiao Qixing walked over and looked at Jin Xin: "Why are you here?" β
Jin Xin looked at Qiao Qixing and smiled, and then his eyes fell on Sha Feng, who was not far behind him, and said with a smile: "Miss Sha invited me to come here as a guest, but I was naturally disrespectful." β
Sha Feng called?
Qiao Qixing was stunned, turned around, and glanced at Sha Feng.
Sha Feng walked over and said, "You are inevitably too slow, I have been waiting for a long time." β
Jin Xin listened to her words and felt a little strange: "Miss Sha shouldn't be waiting for me to come, right?" β
"Or else?"
Sha Feng doesn't deny it either.
Jin Xin was puzzled: "Why?" β
Sha Feng glanced at Qiao Qixing beside him and said, "Your batch of goods takes up too much space. β
Jin Xin looked at her eyes, smiled, and said, "Since it is too much space, it would be good for Miss Sha to return the goods to me directly, why do you have to say that I will come over in person before I am willing to return it?" Why is that? β
Sha Feng looked at Jin Xin, but didn't answer, but pushed Qiao Qixing beside him: "Eh, an old friend is here, shouldn't you treat her well?" You are very familiar here, and you can take people to go shopping. β
Qiao Qixing didn't understand what kind of calculation Sha Feng was making, but he actually called Jin Xin to come without telling him, but when he heard her words at this time, he understood it all of a sudden.
His brows immediately furrowed: "Sha Feng, are you deliberately trying to send me away with Jin Xin?" β
Sha Feng did not shy away from it, and admitted: "That's right." β
"You ......"
Qiao Qixing was a little angry, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Sha Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "You haven't seen you for a long time, let's talk about the past." I still have a few things to do, so I'll go first. β
***
There is one more more. But it may be after midnight.
