Chapter 5: His Identity
In the past few days, Gu Qingcheng has not asked about Long Yuting's identity, judging from his dress and conversation, he must have been born in a powerful family, and maybe he still holds an important position in the court, so he will discuss the affairs of the court with Mu Yun, but none of this is important, she just needs to follow him, she has a foothold, and other things will be planned later.

On the way back to Liangdu, Long Yuting went to visit some other people, including young talents and gray-haired old men, but every time she talked, she stood far away, originally she played the role of a waiter, so she could play this role well.
Getting closer and closer to Liangdu, Long Yuting said to her: "This is the last city of the vassal king, and when you walk out from here, it is all the territory of the royal family. ”
Gu Tingcheng generally knows something about Beichen, this country is vast and rich, but in the early days of Beichen, some kings with different surnames were divided, which led to today's chaos, the vassal kings all supported their own troops, the court and the royal family were gradually isolated, and the vassal kings secretly contacted each other in private, and some did not even take the court in their eyes.
When she thought of this, she felt very confused, a huge country was divided and divided, nominally under the control of the imperial court, but in fact it was separated.
The city they passed by was under the jurisdiction of King Anqing, and I heard Long Yuting say that King Anqing's territory was the largest of all the vassal kings, and it was also the most threatening vassal king to the imperial court.
Today, the investigation out of the city is more severe, I heard that there are thieves in the city, in order to prevent the thieves from running out of the city, the soldiers guarding the city check the people out of the city one by one according to the portraits.
There was a long queue at the gate of the city, the weather was a little hot, and staying in the stopped carriage made Gu Qingcheng a little irritable, so she stepped out of the carriage and prepared to take a breath.
"Childe, I'll go down and go back for a walk."
Long Yuting told her: "Allure girl, don't go too far. ”
She didn't want to go too far, just strolled around here, only to see that the street market in the city was very lively, Gu Tingcheng looked back and saw that the queue was still very long, and it would not be in the way to walk around for a while, so she walked in the direction of the market.
The dazzling array of goods in the market was pleasing to her eyes, and she remembered that Long Yuting loved to drink sour plum soup, and there happened to be a vendor selling chilled sour plums here, so she took out some loose silver and prepared to buy a few bowls.
"I want three bowls of sour plum soup."
"Okay."
When the vendor saw the business, he was overjoyed, and immediately prepared three bowls of sour plum soup, Gu Qingcheng picked up one of the bowls and drank it first, and she was going to take the other two bowls back to Long Yuting and them.
The sweet and sour iced sour plum soup, Gu Tingcheng felt that the whole person was cold, and instantly had the feeling of returning to modern times to eat popsicles, she drank a bowl deliciously, and was ready to have another bowl.
"Serve me another bowl."
She took out the silver and handed it to the vendor, the vendor was about to take the silver, but a hand appeared behind her and snatched the silver, she turned her head to look, the young man who snatched the silver swaggered behind her, the silver was played with like a toy in his hand, Gu Qingcheng gritted his teeth, suddenly became angry, and said to the man: "Hurry up and give me back the silver." ”
"I want the money to be fetched myself." The young man smiled evilly and deliberately raised his hand too high, "I advise you not to get in the way, this prince is the fee they handed over to the master, and he has to pay it every once in a while." ”
"You are not an official messenger, why should he give you the silver?" While arguing, Gu Qingcheng jumped up and grabbed the silver tael in his hand, and when his hand was about to reach it, the man suddenly threw the silver into the hands of another person, so she pounced.
The man flicked his sleeves, pinched Gu Qingcheng's face and said, "You are really handsome, but it's a pity that you are a son, if you are a girl, you must bring it back to make my uncle happy." ”
The banter words hit her ears like a stinger, and those big fat hands made her feel disgusting, Gu Qingcheng stretched out his hand and pushed, but the person didn't stand firmly, and almost fell to the ground.
"Yo, you're still proud, aren't you?" The young man shouted, waved his big hand, and several other people also surrounded him, and he said viciously to Gu Qingcheng, "Beat, give me a hard beating, let him be nosy, and today I will let him know how powerful the master is." ”
Whether it is modern or ancient, what Gu Tingcheng hates most is this gang of ruffians and hooligans, they have no real skills, they only know that there are many people, and they often bully some weak people, she saw those people surrounding, recalled the taekwondo posture that the teacher had taught her before, and raised her hands up to prepare.
Those people didn't take her seriously, thinking that they could knock her to the ground in three or two strokes, but she also knew some kung fu, and used a move they had never seen before, and they kicked her hard when she raised her foot, and the person who pounced on her at the beginning was knocked to the ground, and he kept screaming, this little boy was really ruthless, and he kicked him in the vital point.
The rest of the people saw that their accomplices were injured, how could they give up, a few people rushed up angrily, after a few rounds, Gu Qingcheng gradually felt a little difficult, after all, the body is a woman's strength is limited, if it is one-on-one, it is not a big deal, but she is a little unable to resist a group of people around.
The bullies saw that she began to lose the upper hand, and the attacks became more fierce one by one, Xia Tingcheng thought that she was in trouble, she would inevitably be beaten, and there were many people around to watch the excitement, but this young man was a tyrant in the city, and everyone was afraid of being retaliated against by him, so they didn't dare to come forward to help her.
In the alleys of the market, a man watched quietly everything here, and he commanded his subordinates, "Go and help that little man." ”
"Yes, master." Short and crisp answers.
Gu Tingcheng was thinking that he was going to be beaten up when suddenly a tall man came over and kicked the young man.
"Hand over the money, and don't do evil here in the future, or I'll see you hit once and for all."
The young man clutched his chest as if his ribs had been broken, and he rolled on the ground in pain, howling like a pig, and tremblingly took the silver out of his bosom and threw it on the ground. When the rest of the people saw that the leader was beaten, they immediately became stupid and helped him to escape.
"Thank you." Gu Qingcheng waved his hands at the man who saved her.
The man glanced at her lightly, turned around and left without saying a word, he walked so fast that Gu Qingcheng didn't have time to see the man's face clearly, he was really a strange person, but since he saved her, he could be regarded as her benefactor.
"Little boy, your iced sour plum soup." The vendor refilled the two bowls and handed them to her, and said, "I won't accept these two bowls of silver. ”
Deep in the alley, the man turned around and replied: "Master, the task is complete." ”
"Go and find out who he is? Why did you follow Long Yuting? ”
"Yes, master." The man replied respectfully.
