"Oh...... Give me a kick on it, you pressed it pretty well yesterday. ”

“......”

After a while, the door opened, and Ziyan stood in the doorway.

"Zifei. Ziyan said expressionlessly: "Father is looking for you." ”

"Oh, here it is. ”

......

Wait for the child to stay away.

"Morek, Zifei has a lot to learn, don't take up his time at will. Ziyan said expressionlessly.

"Oh. Qin Hua lazily answered, and there was no follow-up, and since that quarrel, the two of them have become cold again.

"......" Ziyan saw that Qin Hua did not move, and did not stop, turned around and closed the door, and left.

It's better to talk less, unlike before, when you kept talking all day long, Ziyan thought like this, but there was no joy on his face.

......

The day of departure has come in a blink of an eye, Ziyan and the other four people wrapped a package around their waists, wore a big black cloak, and rode four high-headed horses carrying supplies on their backs, and they went on the road. The performance of the horse crushes ordinary horses in any way, so the price is also extremely expensive, Ziqiang also reluctantly cuts his love, and several people are equipped with this kind of wild beast hybrid horse, he also doesn't want Ziyan to walk to the imperial capital with a lot of things on their backs, and ordinary horses are easy to freeze to death in this kind of day, even if they don't die, the speed is better than walking.

"Brother, isn't it really okay not to wait for Lingling? She said she was coming to see us off today. Zifei said with some concern, looked behind him, and only saw the phantom of his father and his party in the distance.

"Nope. Ziyan replied expressionlessly, but his eyes were a little sad.

"Hey, who is Lingling?" Qin Hua kicked Zifei next to him, who was on the same level as him.

"Lingling is the daughter of Zhang's Zhutou family, which we have played since childhood. ”

"Head catcher, is there still a yamen head catcher in the town?" Qin Hua sneered: "The town is not under the control of your Wu Zong." ”

"Of course not, do you really think that the place is remote, and the empire will not set up a yamen? Our Wuzong is still nominally to assist the yamen to take over the management of the town, but the people in the yamen are actually all paid by our Wuzong, to put it bluntly, they are the people of our Wuzong, but they are not called the children of Wuzong. ”

"Okay. ”

......

The process of rushing is very boring, but Qin Hua and Zi Fei are very happy to chat, Zi Fei likes to read, there are many books are bought from merchants, the content is very wide, so that Zi Fei knows a lot of foreign stories, and Qin Hua is the process of leading the dart team to like to talk with others, listen to various stories, and occasionally buy local books to read, at this point the two of them are also like-minded, along the way are talking about all kinds of stories, from demons and monsters to heroic legends, from joys and sorrows of love to chivalrous brotherhood, Zi Yan has been silent, his eyes are a little hollow, I don't know whether he is listening to stories or thinking about things。

At night, the four of them came to another unknown town, this town belongs to the jurisdiction of Liuyun City, this town is very different from the town where Wu Zong is located, although the town where Wu Zong is located is on the edge of the southern part of the empire, and geographically it is also surrounded by dangerous places such as the Magic Valley Wasteland, but because it is a few border passages, and under the governance of Wu Zong, it is becoming more and more prosperous, many people have settled in the town, and the roads have also been developed, not so much a town in scale, but more like a prosperous city, and this town is much more simple in comparison。 Qin Hua is not surprised, after all, he has traveled to many places, but Ziyan and Zifei have opened their eyes, they have always thought that the town is as prosperous as their hometown.

"I say, you usually buy from merchants, and you have talked to them about other places, and you think that all towns are as prosperous as yours. Qin Hua said a little speechlessly, this town is actually not poor, it can be regarded as average.

“...... This one. "Zifei actually has very little communication with the merchants, and many things are bought by others, and he basically does not communicate with the vendors when he buys them himself.

Ziyan listened to the conversation between the two of them, looked for the shop, and finally stopped at a good-looking inn, then dismounted and came to the closed door of the inn, and several mice were scared by Ziyan and ran away.

Bang bang, Ziyan knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was opened, and a fat middle-aged woman glanced at a few people, and returned to the cashier to sit.

"Hostess, ask for two rooms. Ziyan said politely.

"No, just one. The middle-aged woman knocked on the melon seeds and said coldly.

Ziyan listened a little strangely, it seemed that there was no movement upstairs, and asked: "There is little movement upstairs, there should be a lot of vacant rooms, you see that it is not easy for us to live in one room, it is better to ......"

"Just a double room, love or not. ”

Ziyan frowned, and immediately became angry, thinking that this person's speech was really unpleasant, and his tone became cold: "Is there a spacious multi-person room?" ”

The middle-aged woman frowned and looked at the flame, 1.68 meters tall, as tall as a middle-aged woman, wearing a plain blue light clothes, simple and clean but obviously good material, the black lines on her face looked a little scary at first glance, but the proprietress was not surprised, her body was not thin, but compared to the woman with a fat bucket waist, she looked a little thin.

The middle-aged woman closed the account with her hand: "If you say no, it's just a double room, you can't live in it, you can't live in it, you can't get out." ”

Seeing the middle-aged woman's tough attitude, Zi Fei thought about changing the family, and looked at his brother Zi Yan, who was expressionless at this moment: "There are four of us, how can one room be squeezed?"

"What's the matter? I can see a lot of you rich young masters, if you can't squeeze it, get out." ”

"Forget it, let's go. Zifei pulled Ziyan's hand, but he couldn't pull it at all, and then looked at Ziyan's face, his face was like frost, and there was a chill in his eyes when he looked at the middle-aged woman.

Zi Yan's appearance made Zi Fei feel scared, and he had the impression that his brother had never been so scary.

Bang - before Zifei could persuade Ziyan, the proprietress 's table was kicked to pieces.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back. Ziyan retracted his feet and said expressionlessly, and the scene was extremely cold in an instant.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Qin Hua coldly: "Looking for something?"

"What?" Zi Yan was still expressionless, but his eyes were full of anger when he stared at the middle-aged woman.

Qin Hua was also frightened by Ziyan's abnormal performance, and he had the impression that the senior brother had always been tepid to people, not gentle, but he would never be rough with people for such a trivial matter.

"Forget it, brother, let's go. Zifei took Ziyan's hand and persuaded.

"What are you going to do, I've led the dart team for so long, and I've never seen such an arrogant businessman, so I'm just kicking it down. Qin Hua clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with a smile, Zi Fei couldn't help but be embarrassed, he knew Qin Hua's character, and this situation was really normal to play the ability to cause chaos.

"You can't go. The woman's eyes were full of fierceness, and she took out a pig-killing knife out of nowhere.

Qin Hua couldn't help but sneer when he saw the pig killing knife, and was about to step forward, but was blocked by Zi Yan with his hand, Qin Hua looked at Zi Yan, only to see Zi Yan said coldly: "Stay away." ”

Seeing this, the proprietress had a slightly ugly expression, and suddenly rushed over with a pig-killing knife, Ziyan was a little surprised by the speed of the proprietress when she saw this, and suddenly stepped back to avoid this knife.

"Then you have to be careful, the boss lady of the ninth stage of the human rank, don't have to ask me to solve it when the time comes. Qin Hua shouted on the side.

Ziyan frowned, the ninth rank of the human rank? Just thinking about it, the proprietress was down with a knife again, Ziyan dodged, but this knife split the wooden table behind him, Ziyan was about to draw his sword to fight back, but he didn't want the proprietress to smash it with a punch again, Ziyan blocked it with his hand, and was beaten back a few steps by a punch, the proprietress saw this and drove her round body to crash into Ziyan, Ziyan realized that she was strong by this proprietress, and now she had no chance to draw her sword when she was close to her, so she threw the saber and punched directly at the proprietress is a smash, but the proprietress was slashed with a pig-killing knife, and she was about to split Ziyan, but the hand of the proprietress holding the knife was hit by a stool that flew over from the side, and the stool flew out with a knife, and Ziyan also smashed a fist on the face of the proprietress smoothly, and the proprietress retreated again and again in pain, and looked at Qin Hua fiercely.

"People didn't draw their knives, and it would be more appropriate for you to be empty-handed, right?" Qin Huachong smiled at the proprietress with a smile.

Although the proprietress was angry in her heart, judging from the strength of the stool just now, how did she feel that the girl standing next to her was more powerful than the young man in front of her? But I didn't have time to think about it, Ziyan smashed it again, the boss's legs stepped down, her body was short, her body was twisted and rattling, and when Ziyan was about to come, she also swung it with a punch, Ziyan smashed it in the face of the boss's wife, but she couldn't move it at all, and the boss's punch also hit Ziyan's stomach firmly, Ziyan retreated in pain, but the proprietress didn't plan to let go of Ziyan, and suddenly her arms were horizontal, and a tiger went down the mountain to attack Ziyan, Ziyan turned around to dodge when she saw this, and the boss lady was also an accident, but it was just an accident, Ziyan couldn't dodge again, and was shocked by a punch and vomited blood, and the proprietress didn't intend to relax, and hit Ziyan's head with a turning fist, but suddenly felt a pain in her waist and abdomen, and the whole person flew out and knocked out a hole in the wall, and then rolled a few laps in the backyard of the inn and stopped, the proprietress touched her waist and sat up with difficulty, and saw the girl who was watching the play on the side looking at herself with an ugly face.

Qin Hua's heart is a little complicated now, at the beginning, according to his estimate, the senior brother still has a better chance of winning with a sword, but he didn't expect that not only could he not pull out the sword when he fought, but the physical contest was even more one-sided, so he could only kick the boss away by himself.

The proprietress looked at the Qin painting, not only her waist and abdomen were uncomfortable, but her heart was even more uncomfortable, this girl's strength was afraid that her physical strength was much higher than her own, and she was above the awakening of the king rank at such a young age?

"Senior brother...... Qin Hua frowned and looked at Ziyan spitting blood, wanting to step forward to help the senior brother up, but hesitated, the two of them were already at odds in the Cold War these days, and they even mocked the senior brother before the fight, but he didn't expect that the senior brother really hadn't fought.

The middle-aged woman got up with difficulty, waving her big fist and rushing towards Qin Hua, Qin Hua turned around and looked at the boss lady coldly, and when she got closer, she kicked the waist and abdomen on the other side of the boss lady again, and the boss lady flew out again.

"Senior brother, are you alright? Zifei helped his brother Ziyan up in distress.

"I'm fine...... Ziyan said lightly, but there was a silence in his eyes, he couldn't even beat a random boss lady, he was once held as a treasure in the palm of the martial arts, and he still enjoyed the title of genius.

"It's ridiculous. Ziyan suddenly smiled, with a desolation in his smile.

Several people looked at Ziyan with different expressions.

"Let's go. Ziyan swallowed a pill and said, expressionless, as if nothing had happened, he took out some silver taels from his bag and put them on the table of the inn, as if he had never fought with the proprietress, straightened his clothes, and went out of the inn door.

"......" The proprietress was a little confused, and then limped to the wooden table with silver taels, which were almost ready to buy another inn......

Leaving the shop, a few people rode their horses down the long streets of the town, leaving long horseshoe prints on the snow.

"Senior Brother......

"Speak. Ziyan said coldly.

"I'm sorry ......"

"No, you don't. ”

“...... Those words, in fact, do not mean to mock you. Qin Hua hesitated and made up his mind, and said: "I thought she was ......."

"Say no more. Ziyan interrupted Qin Hua, and his tone was cold: "I don't need you to explain anything. ”

"No, senior brother, listen to me. ”

"I asked you not to say that you don't understand?!!" Ziyan suddenly shouted, glaring at Qin Hua fiercely, with an ugly expression: "Just like a few days ago, don't say a superfluous word to me, understand?"

Qin Hua looked at Zi Yan in a daze, he didn't know what to say, not only Qin Hua, Zi Fei also looked at his brother in a daze, this was the first time he saw his brother so angry, but Gui Yin just sat on the horse and closed his eyes to breathe, and the reins of the horse were held by Zi Fei.

There was silence for a while.

"It's good, just like this, don't say a word, like the other day. Ziyan put down these few words, turned around, and let the stopped horse continue to move forward.

"Are you angry?" asked Qin Hua in a deep voice.

Ziyan didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard.

"Stop!" Qin frowned, accelerated the speed of the horse, rushed to the front of Ziyan, who was the leader of the team, and stopped him.

Ziyan looked at Qin Hua coldly, Qin Hua frowned: "You don't let me finish, I want to say, I apologize to you, the taunt before the fight was because you stopped me, I said it casually, I thought you would win, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to beat that woman before you had time to pull out your sword, understand?"

Zifei was a little speechless on the side, what the hell is Qin Hua talking about, isn't it like saying that his brother is incompetent...... Zifei looked at his brother worriedly, but his brother Ziyan couldn't see his expression.

"And then, are you done?" Ziyan asked coldly.

"Of course not!" Qin Hua continued: "Don't you think you are very vexatious? If I can't beat my opponent, I will run away, admit defeat, and even beg for mercy, but if you can't beat me, why do you still put on that high-flying appearance? Insist on fighting with the fat woman with the knife with your fists, don't tell me that you don't know that if she slashes you and you will die, then why don't you run away? ......”

"I didn't ask you to help me. Ziyan said expressionlessly.

Chin thrushes were tightly locked, turned over and dismounted.

"What are you doing?" Ziyan asked, staring at Qin Hua.

"Come down!" Qin Hua took Ziyan's arm and pulled Ziyan off the horse: "You ask me why I help you? Is it interesting to say this? If I don't help you, I will watch you be killed?"

Ziyan was silent.

"In the past, I just thought you were arrogant and stubborn, but now I see that you are really sick in the brain, and you ask me why I want to help you? Then I tell you now, I don't want you to die, understand? Please tell me next time this situation happens, okay? Don't play any unyielding tricks, please tell me in time, okay? If you really die, I will be sad, understand? I don't care about your so-called failure feelings, I only know that I will be sad, my heart will hurt! Do you understand?! Senior brother, do you understand? Answer me!"

"Don't shake!" Ziyan frowned slightly, and grabbed Qin Hua's hand shaking his collar: "My head hurts when it shakes." ”

"You haven't answered me yet!" Qin Hua said angrily staring at Ziyan.

"Okay, okay, I know, it's really insensitive. Ziyan looked away with a disgusted expression, sorting out the clothes that had been torn a little messy by Qin Hua.

"What's wrong with this? I'm talking to you seriously!"

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Nope. ”

"Then let's go, it's getting late. Ziyan said expressionlessly.

Riding the horse slightly, Ziyan led the group to walk in the snowflakes in the front of the sky, a snowflake fell on Ziyan's nose, Ziyan wiped his nose.

This guy is really numb.

Ziyan recalled in his mind what Qin Hua had just spoken, and sneered in his heart, only feeling that Mo Qin Hua really looked like a fool, but a smile unconsciously crept up on his originally expressionless face.

"Eh, by the way, senior brother, there is one more thing. Qin Hua said again.

"What?" Ziyan turned around.

"Yes......" Qin Hua just wanted to say, but when he saw the smile on Ziyan's face, he was a little curious: "Senior brother, what are you laughing at?"

"Huh?" Ziyan instantly turned back to expressionlessness: "Is there one?"

"Uh...... Forget it, this is not important, the important thing is that you have too much money left, senior brother. ”

"Is it much?"

"Of course!!!, with a few more, you can almost buy her inn. ”

"Huh? That's it. Ziyan pouted, he didn't know the value of the silver very well, anyway, Ziqiang had prepared so much.

"Alas...... When I was able to lead a caravan like you, I didn't need to do all kinds of robbing. ”

"......" Ziyan looked ahead and didn't respond, but he didn't know when he felt that the voice of Mo Qin's painting became pleasant.

"There's a guy over there, so I'm going to ask where there's an inn nearby. Zifei looked at the man on the side of the street and said, then turned the horse's head and ran towards the man.

"Wait ......" Before Zi Yan's words came out, Zi Fei had already galloped over, and Zi Yan was a little speechless: "Really, even Zi Fei was disobedient due to the influence of Moqin painting." ”

......

When Zifei approached on horseback, he found a ragged beggar drinking a drink from nowhere.

Zifei dismounted: "Hello, I want to ask ......"

"Go away, don't bother me drinking. ”

“...... I want to ......"

"Get out of here, don't bother me!" said the beggar-looking man angrily, then took another sip of wine.

"What's wrong?" Qin Hua rode to Zifei's side.

"It's nothing ......," Zifei shook his head helplessly.

And the beggar also discovered Qin Hua and Ziyan and others, and became vigilant.

"The ...... of the 8th stage of the first stage ...... beggar?" Qin Hua tilted his head to look at the beggar, the first eight stages are very low for Qin Hua, but the awakening itself is still out of reach for most people, as long as it is awakened, it is a talent that many people are vying for, how can it not be reduced to a beggar, and this person is still able-bodied and looks like a healthy man.

"What's wrong?" Ziyan asked, leading his master's horse to retreat.

"Hey, this guy is a beginner eighth rank. The corners of Qin Hua's mouth hooked a smile: "But you haven't woken up yet, isn't this comparison a bit funny?" As soon as the words fell, Qin Hua regretted it a little, and his words were too indifferent to his senior brother's feelings......

Ziyan glanced at Qin Hua coldly: "Leave him alone, let's go." ”

Zifei nodded, glanced back at the beggar, and noticed a piece of armor exposed from the beggar's tattered clothes.

After walking for a while, although the lights were bright, there was no one on the street, which made Ziyan feel a little weird.

Soon, I finally found an inn.

......

“...... Do you want accommodation?" asked an old man with a hunchback who flipped through his handbooks.

"Yes. Zifei replied, "We want two rooms." ”

"Excuse me, is it okay to have one? and only the kind with a double bed. The old man asked, looking at the handbook through the candle.

"One?" Ziyan frowned, because he couldn't feel any movement in the rooms upstairs, in other words, many of the rooms in this inn were empty, just like the previous inn.

"Why? Aren't there a lot of empty rooms?" Ziyan asked.

The old man looked up at Ziyan: "I'm sorry, most of our inns have been requisitioned by the empire, and they will be left empty for the army at any time, and each inn will only leave a few guest rooms, and it is also considering that there will be people passing through the town who need accommodation, like you, a team of only four people, we will definitely not be able to give you two rooms generously." ”

“......”

The doubts of Ziyan and the others can be regarded as solved.

"Okay, then please take us to the guest room. ”

Then a shopkeeper took four people to the innermost room on the second floor.

"Take three clean quilts and hot water ready for bathing. Ziyan instructed Xiao Er.

Xiao Er nodded and turned to leave.

"Brother, don't you think it's strange?" Zifei was the first to speak.

Ziyan checked the room: "Keep your voice as low as possible." ”

"Oh......"

"What's strange. Qin was puzzled.

"This place is located in the south of the empire, and then to the south, it is close to the Magic Valley barren forest and other natural dangers, and it is precisely because of this that the empire has not set up border defenses here, and it stands to reason that it should not be requisitioned by the army, unless the empire sends an army. Zifei looked at Qin Hua and explained.

Ziyan took out a map from his waist and spread it out on the table, and when he drew it, it was a map.

Zifei is right...... There are two main areas of war in the empire, one is the frontal battlefield distributed in the west, and the imperial city is relatively close to the western border, so the army in the west is at most the main force of the empire is stationed, and the other is the town guarding the northern border, which is very far away from us. ”

"Hey, this is my country, but our country is not as big as yours. Qin Hua pointed to a country called Xiya Country in the southeast of the Inuma Empire on the map, and there is a Hoshino Forest between Xiya and Inuma Country, the Hoshino Forest is very large, about one-sixth the size of Inuma Country, and Xiya Country is only one-third the size of Inuma Country, Qin Hua tilted his head: "Moreover, the name of the country in our language is also called xiya, which is a coincidence." ”

"Uh......" Zifei was a little speechless: "If it is a country that has dealings with our country, we will call it by the transliteration of their country's name...... So this shouldn't be a coincidence......"

Gollum~ As he was talking, a hungry voice came.

......
