Chapter 3: The Military City and the Storyteller
Luqiu was originally a small city on the desert side, surrounded by the Gobi on three sides, and blocked by the tributary of the big river to lead the dragon on one side, but because of the establishment of the Tang Empire, this place unexpectedly became the cross throat of the three states of Ganyongliang and Liang, and became a place where soldiers must fight.

And now the roadhill, in the hands of the Ganzhou Jiedu envoy Li Xuan, has become his feudal town station, his 100,000 Xilong guard cavalry almost all deployed in the Luqiu city outside the Yinlong River along the line, at this time Lao Liu looked from afar, both sides of the Yinlong River, are lined with military tents, cooking smoke is misty.
Although it was only more than 20 miles away from Luqiu City, the current Lao Liu and Yao Bayi did not have the heart to enter the city immediately, because they knew that when they entered the city now, it was not the smiling faces of the sergeants that welcomed them, but the Mo knives in the hands of the sergeants.
Tens of millions of taels of silver and gold were robbed in their hands, and they couldn't explain to Li Xuan why a caravan of hundreds of people was successfully robbed by one person!
You told a great general that hundreds of us were robbed by a gentleman, do you think he would believe it? That gentleman has a kind of divine soldier in his hand that can breathe fire and thunder, and can take people's heads dozens of meters away, as a general who has led soldiers to fight for many years, do you say you will believe it?!
Anyway, if you are normal, Li Xuanna will not believe it, he will only think that these hundreds of people led by Lao Liu are thieves who are greedy for military salaries, and it is strange if they are not executed in a hurry!
"Why don't we run? Run to Xiyi! "Yao Bayi is qualified as a shrewd shopkeeper, but it is definitely not possible to let him be a warrior who is not afraid of the sergeant's sword, and his mind at this time is full of thoughts.
It's like a dream, and all of them will faint in hundreds of them! The robber said a trick, and they immediately lost consciousness, isn't that thief a legendary monster?
"I don't believe that one person has emptied hundreds of boxes of gold and silver, and everyone will pass out, so there must be some kind of poison, I think there must be an internal response in our team!" Lao Liu's way of thinking is very reasonable, reaching the limit of thinking common to the people of Datang.
Yes, as a typical Tang person, Lao Liu would not have thought that this mysterious bandit had an EMP (bio-oriented) electronic pulse stun bomb in his hand, as well as a dimensional ring that is known as the most widely applicable product of the Federation's space development technological achievements.
It's like a monkey never understands what a car is or what a spaceship is.
"We don't have any evidence of who is guilty!" Shopkeeper Yao continued to roll his eyes and said, he wanted to pull some people out for the dead ghost, but he didn't know who to choose!
"Just use the darts that we died!" Lao Liu gritted his teeth, and without waiting for Yao Bayi's consent, he gave his right arm two knives....
"Guys, this shopkeeper is going to save your lives!" Seeing Lao Liu self-harming and acting, Yao Bayi knew what he should do, he began to greet the people in the caravan, and began to explain the life-saving statement, he sincerely hoped that their set of statements could be useful.
"yes, Uncle Biao, they are not bad people, it was the bad people who killed Uncle Biao!" Lao Liu's grandson was a child after all, and he couldn't understand how adults poured sewage on the dead samurai in order to survive.
"Shhh, the little dog can't say a word like this in the future, otherwise Ye Ye will be killed by the general, do you hope that Ye Ye will not wake up like Uncle Biao?" Quickly covered his grandson's mouth, Lao Liu looked at the dead dart master lying on the container, and looked lonely.
Exchange the name of the dead for the lives of our survivors, and I hope you don't resent me! Lao Liu selfishly prayed...
The arrival of autumn also means that the weather has become unpredictable, and the sunny town of Luqiu was greeted by the sudden arrival of the rainstorm at this moment. The gravel blocks that could be found everywhere in the north-west were poured into all sorts of unbridled mud in this pouring rain, and they clung to the countless horses and vehicles that drove by, stretching as far as the eye could see.
With this sudden heavy rain and mud, a black iron carriage also drove into Luqiu City with the many traffic that had entered the city to take shelter from the rain, and stopped at the door of a teahouse in the west of the city. The teahouse is not big, but the name is very interesting, and it is called a teahouse. At the moment when the carriage stopped, there was a burst of applause and cheers in the teahouse.
"It is said that there is a country in the east of the Dongsheng Divine Continent, called Aolai, and there is a mountain in the country of Aolai, called Huaguo Mountain, and there is a stubborn stone left by Nuwa to make up for the sky on the top of the mountain." The teahouse is not big, and the customers of all kinds of clothes sit leisurely in their seats, drinking tea and chatting softly. However, in the interval between drinking tea and chatting, most of the patrons looked at the center of the teahouse lobby from time to time, where there were several Eight Immortal Square Tables stacked on top of each other, about half a story high, and there was a chair above the Eight Immortals Square Table, on which a lazy young man leaned on it.
The young man was dressed in a cyan robe, with a delicate face, and a Huizhou folding fan common to talented people in his hand, with his various exaggerated gestures, as if telling a certain strange story. The whole lobby became quieter and quieter, except for the crisp accent of the teenager and the sound of the patrons.
Four people came down from the black carriage, a combination of two men and two women, the women's eyebrows were clear, one slender and one plump, and the men were even more dignified. But the combination that was supposed to have a great attraction was unnoticed as soon as they entered the teahouse, and even the teahouse maid who was responsible for attracting customers focused on the strange story of the young man in the center of the teahouse lobby, and couldn't get away with it for a long time.
"Xiao Er, come to a good pot of tea, want this spring's Siming Dragon Tip, remember to soak it in spring water, don't use stale water in the well." One of the four people who came in seemed to be very dissatisfied with the hospitality of this teahouse, so he took the initiative to wake up the little guy next to the hall.
The little servant hurriedly came back to his senses, sang a promise, and hurriedly led the four patrons to sit down, and said embarrassedly: "This storyteller's story is too appetizing, I hope you will forgive your sins, this tea will come in a while." After saying that, he asked for tea and left.
As soon as she took her seat, the plump girl pulled the slender young lady next to her and whispered: "Sister Xue Nai, look, the young man in the green shirt in the center of the hall looks really good-looking, but sitting so high, aren't you afraid of falling down, it's funny." ”
The girl named Xue Nai couldn't help but nod the forehead of the sister next to her, and replied softly: "Ye Yingkong, is your little girl Huaichun, that young man in a green shirt good-looking?" I think my skin is ordinary, and I can't compare with those children in our academy. ”
Before Xue Nai finished speaking, Xiao Nizi, whose name was Ye Yingkong, sealed her mouth, rubbed her ears with her little hands, whispered something, and pointed to the two gentlemen beside her, letting out bursts of silver bell laughter, which caused Xue Nai to blush for a while.
The two young men beside them didn't want to intervene in the sisters' private chat, but talked about business themselves. "Senior brother, then Li Xuan is obviously relying on his identity as a festival envoy to put up a fight, when did we walk out of the two courtyards suffer such bad luck!" Although the young man who spoke first had clear eyebrows, his tone was full of grievance and dissatisfaction, and he seemed a bit of a middle-of-the-road posture.
"I said, junior brother, Master said that the cultivation of our two academies is the most important heart, and the heart is not transparent, and it will be difficult to cross the human realm. Then Li Xuan talks about seniority, we also have to call out to the senior brother, if he wants to put the score, then let him put the score. Among the four, the most immature young man spoke as if he was a talker, half critical and half jokingly replied to the young man next to him.
"Senior brother, you follow the master and the Taoist to do nothing, but I followed the dean to learn etiquette, this word and deed is etiquette, and etiquette cannot be said in vain. That Li Xuan is just relying on his royal status to have studied the last way of the military family in the outer sect of the two academies for a few years, but the children of the outer sect cannot be discussed with cultivators such as us, the title of this senior brother cannot be counted, and in the world, in terms of our family identity, this Li family royal family also has to rely on our help, and he Li Xuan is not qualified to play with us at all! Excitedly, the thick-eyed young man stood up as he spoke, his expression gritted his teeth, and he did not return to his original clear appearance.
"You, you, you are not enough! What did you educate this elm head by the old-fashioned old man of Dean Kong, let's not discuss him Li Xuan first, let's listen to the commentary quietly! "Xue Xian's heart actually wants to scold MDZZ, but because of his identity, he can't reveal it, it's really hard to disobey his fate! and these three wonderful brothers and sisters came out to practice and cultivate, and it was also thanks to the master's old cultivation that he could come up with such a routine.
The most difficult road in the world is really only the word routine!
The flowers bloom at two ends, each with a branch, and in the center of the lobby of this compartment, the handsome young man continues to tell the legendary story. "It is said that the monkey got the Tao from the Bodhi ancestor, and said goodbye to the ancestor and drove the clouds to return to this Huaguo Mountain." This young man in a green shirt has a very good mouth, and when he was talking about the journey to the west, Wukong's return to the mountain, he was unexpectedly interrupted by a large group of officers and soldiers who came into the teahouse hall.
"From today's lockdown, no one is allowed to come out, all the shopkeepers, please give me someone Li a face!" The leader of the officers and soldiers is a general, with a rough beard on his face, but he speaks quite pertinently, and it seems that he is an old acquaintance with the major patrons and shopkeepers in the city.
"We will definitely listen to General Li's words, but this section has caused the adults to close the city for no reason, what is the so-called thing?" This general is Li Xuan's cronies, his personality is rough and fine, and the intersection between the military government and the city is basically coordinated by him, so these patron shopkeepers have always been bold in talking to him, and a fat shopkeeper couldn't help but ask, he is in logistics trading, and this lockdown of the city has affected his business too much.
"The secrets in the army are very important, it is inconvenient to say more, bosses, I have brought the words of the adults, please abide by the firms, otherwise it will be dealt with by military discipline!" Arching his hand, and then expressing forgiveness, General Li took the officers and soldiers away, leaving a hall of patrons and masters to make a lot of noise.
"If the city is suddenly closed, I guess I am looking for some fugitives." The taste of the four bright dragon tips on the second day of the shop is still good, and the expressions of the four Xue Xian are not as excited as the shopkeepers around them, and the tone of Xue Xian's speech is particularly indifferent.
"We want to go, so Li Xuan has the courage to stop it?" Still angry, the young man whose real name is Li Shuaixi took a sip of tea, pouted and slurred, and continued to complain about his dissatisfaction.
"It's the military pay that has been robbed." Ye Yingkong, this little girl, is amazing information as soon as she opens her mouth.
"Looted military salaries? You just used the [Mind Penetration] on that Li Pei general? Xue Nai covered her mouth in shock, this news is really amazing.
"Well, because the baby is curious." Ye Yingkong held her chin with an indifferent expression, knowing the secret, her curiosity dissipated all of a sudden, so boring, for her.
"No wonder the city is closed, let's go to the military mansion to find Li Xuan later, we still have to help after we know this favor." It's really a troublesome thing, but as a representative of the two houses, Xue Xian's identity and behavior are the attitude of the two houses.
"You go, I'm not going!" Li Shuaixi still continues to be angry!
"If you don't go, I'll write it into your walking report." Xue Xian really obeyed the son of the Li family, and he had no choice but to use his cultivation results to squeeze him, as a cultivator apprentice who had not officially left the mountain, the walking report of the cultivation industry greatly affected the judgment of the master whether the cultivator apprentice could officially go out of the mountain.
"If you go, I'll go to the show." Pouting, Li Shuaixi couldn't help it, he was actually very afraid that his senior brother would be more serious, this senior brother Xuexian is good at everything, but he is too principled in doing things, and the image of the master is above all else, for the senior brother.
Xue Xian's decision, Xue Nai Ye Yingkong naturally won't say much, in their eyes, Xue Xian is the projection of the master, the most perfect existence in this world, any decision he makes, they all support it.
In my words, these two girls are fan sisters, but fan girls are the words of the former federation, their conversations, I have been listening to them, this whole family has a teahouse, since I came in in the morning to do business, I have been covered with miniature monitors.
By the way, I forgot to say, I am the storyteller in the center of this teahouse, storytelling, is the business I thought of in the morning, and this character's identity is hidden, I think I can win the actor.
The entry of the officers and soldiers just now naturally interrupted my business, but this Tang Dynasty people are still very good-looking, although the storytelling stopped, but the reward that should be given is still given, one morning to now, I said to learn to sing for four hours, and more than 50 taels of silver and copper coins have been credited to the account, which shows that the spiritual civilization construction of the Tang people is still quite lacking, and the story of Journey to the West is still classic.
However, after listening for a morning, I found four young cultivators, which was beyond my expectations, I originally thought that even if I met cultivators in this desert army city, I should be those fighting men in the army, but I didn't expect that it would be these four young people who have not yet taken off their childishness.
Tracking or contact, I want Livi to give me a systematic judgment.
[According to the current information summary statistics, the consequences of your robbery have fermented, and the defense of the entire Luqiu City has entered a state of alert, if the target person Li Xuan wants to solve the problem of military salary theft with the help of external forces, then the probability of meeting the four cultivators in front of him will increase to 80 percentage points, and there is currently no detailed personality map of the target character Li Xuan in the system, but the system still recommends that you contact it. 】
[Priority adjustment: The information of the four cultivators has been filed, the format has been initialized, and the instant storage is opened...]
"Sure enough, let's contact first!" As a former researcher, I believe that whatever judgment Livi makes, although social science is not science, as long as enough data is accumulated, science can still give appropriate instructions.
