Ji Jiu said with a straight face: "I told Li Daotou that I wanted to go to the street to buy something for her, so that she could stay in the inn with peace of mind." ”

I turned my head and smiled, ignoring his look.

"Isn't that good? People come and go, and the two of you are quite compatible. ”

"What's in tune?!" Afraid that Ji Jiu would take out a scroll from somewhere and hit me in the head, I quickly flashed a few steps to the side.

One of the most important things I remember is safety.

"On the streets of Yuzhou, can men walk around casually?"

The scene in Hengcheng really left a deep shadow!

"I asked Li Bangtou, there is a shop at the mouth of the alley, and there are things we need to sell."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go sooner."

The warm autumn sun shines on the land of Yuzhou, and when you look up through the alley, you can see the branches of the eaves of the house that I don't know, a few small flowers are dotted among them, and the shade of the alley is covered with mottled moss.

"Ji Jiu," I don't know when it started, from calling the ninth master at the beginning to pretending to be the "big brother" on the road, he also calmly responded to the occasional title.

"What do you want to say?" He replied in a low voice.

"I think the life in this Yuzhou City is very comfortable, haven't you seen the small courtyard where we live, and it is not much more than the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River in Huguo."

"I thought that if I finished what I was going to do, my biggest wish would be to find a quiet place to live and live an idle life, which the gods didn't want to change for me."

"Same." He replied briefly. "The Empress or her sister? I've always wondered who will go away from the world? "I also want to know what you'll choose." Seeing that he was rarely willing to respond to such a topic, I had to ask more questions.

Ji Jiu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You have too much curiosity. "Hey, do you think the empress will really kill her sister?" "You've been with her for a long time. Based on what you know about her, what do you think she would do? “

Ji Jiu's pace quickened and walked in front of me, I chased a few steps, stepped forward and asked, "When I came, I asked about the one thing that I was most unsure about. "The two of them went to war. Who would you like to win? "Although the winning side of your sue against my empress is overwhelming, I do think"

Ji Jiu stopped again, looked at me with a somewhat helpless expression, and said, "This is not something I hope can decide, no matter who wins or loses between the two of them, it will not affect the lives of the people at the bottom of Xilan." "These high-level power struggles fall on the people, but they are just after-dinner conversations, and they become kings and losers" "What I am curious about is your position. I think you are in the bamboo garden of the East Courtyard, and the empress takes good care of you, but as soon as you turn around, you go to meet that person secretly, are you in Cao Ying's heart in Han? "Where did that come from? You always have some strange thoughts, strange sayings, sometimes I really doubt it" Ji Jiu's tone suddenly paused.

I looked at him, looked at each other, and saw speculation in his eyes. "I suspect you don't know where someone came from." "I feel the same way as you," I looked at him with a stern expression, replaced by a smirked expression.

The next second, I joked, "Actually, I asked the above." Your answer doesn't matter. "Then you keep asking." "Yes, you're to the point, it's much faster to walk this way. Isn't it just at the mouth of the alley, if you don't walk silently, you'll be tired to death. “

I said, "Let's go, go and pick up the things you want immediately." “

Ji Jiu looked at the thin figure in front of him and entered the shop with a happy expression, shook his head, and had to follow up

But in just a few moments, the two people who came out were already unrecognizable.

I wore a hat like Ji Jiu. Out of the alley, walked to the most lively street in Yuzhou. "The people who built the inn really put a lot of thought into it."

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. "How?"

I accentuated my tone slightly: "Do you still need to ask?!" "You know that the best way to choose a place is to be quiet. When you stand in the inn in the alley, can you think that the most lively street in Yuzhou is separated by such a section of the road? "If it's a private house. Of course, it is better to build on the outskirts of the city, but the inns are mostly business trips, and after coming and going, such a location is the most suitable for them to live. "Do what you have to do first, and then I'll do what I want to do."

I turned my head to look at Ji Jiu and said, "Do you say okay?" “

He was slightly stunned and said, "Why don't I know what I want to do, when will I do it?" "Hey, you say that, the one in the inn is going to be sad, didn't you promise her to go out for her"

Ji Jiu patted his head lightly and said, "I really forgot." "I'll accompany you to the jewelry store first, and choose a bracelet or hairpin or something like that for her." "You can't come out and come back empty-handed." "Listen to you, you know more about these things than I do."

Ji Jiu and I went all the way into a shop with few customers, and chose a bracelet with a suitable price in it, because Ji Jiu was reluctant to give hairpins, and I knew that the custom hairpins in Sealand had a special meaning.

In fact, this custom exists everywhere, but here it is more emphasized.

Getting out of the shop is the most important thing I have to do this trip. "Now, where to go?" Standing at the intersection of the street with a shuttling crowd, Ji Jiu glanced down at me. "Come with me, that's it."

I walked in the direction I came from yesterday, but luckily I repeatedly lifted the curtains of the car along the way, and carefully remembered the intersection of each turn. "Where is this going?" Ji Jiu asked me the second time, I shook my hand again and again, closed my eyes and recalled, "Don't interrupt, I rely on strong memorization."

"Lest I remember wrong."

Ji Jiu followed me through the streets of Yuzhou, and when he turned the third intersection, he looked at me with a slightly surprised expression. "Why didn't you make a road idiot?"

I gave him a blank look and said, "Don't you know I'm working hard?" Besides, it depends on what I remember. "I don't want to ask a woman for directions, so as not to cause trouble."

Slowly approaching the city gate, Ji Jiu followed me to turn the last fork in the road, and suddenly said, "I said how to keep walking outside the city." ”

"But. It's the way out of the city again, although I also want to get rid of that team, but don't you have to rely on them to lead the way to the national capital in extraordinary times, you can go out of the city now, can you go out casually? ”

"Whoever told you I was going out of the city, I came to see it at the gates."

Ji Jiu was surprised: "What's so beautiful at the city gate?" ”

I stood still before him. The hood hides his face.

I frowned and said, "I came to confirm something, and when I passed by yesterday, I happened to see someone. ”

My eyes wandered around the streets and I saw a teahouse. Take Ji Jiu and walk over.

At the door, I stretched out my hand to him and said, "You're rich, aren't you?" ”

"We're going to have tea now, make sure you have money with you first, and then go in, otherwise if you're penniless and someone intercepts you and alarms others, I'll have to think of another idea."

"Can I go out with you without money?"

"Makes sense."

Sitting by the window on the second floor, I could see everyone coming and going at the city gates.

"It's a good place." I nodded with satisfaction and said to the running hall, "A pot of flower tea." I also want a few dim sum that you are good at in the tea house. ”

Compared with Hengcheng, there are many more men walking on the street in Yuzhou, so there is no surprise in the running hall, and tea and snacks soon come up according to my request.

Ji Jiu and I sat leisurely and drank tea and ate snacks slowly, but a pair of eyes were always fixed on the direction of entering and exiting the city gate.

"Do you have someone you're looking for?"

Ji Jiu observed my appearance and asked me in a low voice. "You just said that you went into the city yesterday and saw a person, the person you were talking about. The other person is your friend? ”

I shook my head and said, "Definitely not, he doesn't know me at all." “

I looked at Ji Jiu and raised my eyebrows and said, "But by chance." I met him, and I'm a person who can't remember what strangers look like. "Actually, it's a coincidence, this person just makes a little impression on me."

"I'm here today to try my luck, and I can count it as a waiter."

A trace of doubt flashed in Ji Jiu's eyes, he pressed it, but he still didn't ask me the next question, but began to look at the people who came in and out of the city gate like me.

The recruiting point at the gate of Yuzhou City was a little more lively than the one I saw last night.

It is obvious that yesterday was late, and today is the first day, so it is not uncommon for there to be a large number of people.

Ji Jiu and I have been waiting for more than an hour and a half.

I was still waiting patiently and leisurely, but he was a little anxious.

When people are doing things that they are not sure about and do not know the goal, their patience is often very limited, and he can wait quietly with me for an hour and a half, which means that he is already a calm enough person.

I don't talk to him, and I don't have time to look at others.

I have only one goal on this trip, which is the city gate.

Calculating the hour, the flow of people at the city gate has been greatly reduced, because it is now time for lunch.

I saw that the guards patrolling the city had also begun to change their guards, and they were taking turns to eat.

With a moment of free time, I turned my head to Ji Jiu and smiled: "I'm sorry for you, I haven't gained anything by waiting for so long." “

On the table, three plates of dim sum have been emptied, and the remaining one is the worst one.

"It's not embarrassing, but you'd better sue me who you're waiting for."

I raised my head, my eyes fixed on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Ji Jiu, the conscription in Yuzhou City should be the same as everywhere in Sealand, right?" ”

He nodded, his eyes filled with confusion. (To be continued)
