Qin Xiao looked carefully at this time, the girl's skin was better than snow, she was beautiful, she was about the same age as herself, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, she shook her head and smiled: "Don't keep it in mind, it's just a trivial matter." ”

"It's no small feat." The girl looked around and raised her neck slightly: "There is a group of people here, only you can help, and you are much more righteous than them." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people around showed displeasure.

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart, secretly thinking that this girl was going to make a posture of a Jianghu person, but she was very immature, and she had a conflict with the noodle restaurant, and the matter had just ended, but this sentence offended a large group of people, and she was afraid that she would say more and make more mistakes, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you have finished eating, hurry up and go home." ”

"Then you wait here for me, and I'll go get the silver."

"Not really." Qin Xiao said: "You see it's already dark, I have to rush back to rest, I can't wait for you here." ”

"Then you tell me where you live, and I will send it to your home." The girl did not relent: "I owe you, I will definitely pay you back." ”

Qin Xiao also wanted to find out some news about Qiao Leshan from the man in the Golden Hook Gambling House, this girl chattered endlessly, Qin Xiao was a little impatient, frowned and said: "I said no, don't use it, you can go quickly." ”

The girl was about to speak, but the man in the gambling house had already stood up and said to Qin Xiao: "Thank you for your treat today, and next time I have the opportunity, I will please return it to you." Glancing at the girl, she said with a smile: "She is anxious to repay your money, you talk to her well." Without saying much, he walked away, Qin Xiao hurriedly said: "Uncle, the dishes are not yet complete, you can leave after eating." ”

"There are a lot of things in the gambling house, and there is no delay." The man didn't look back, and went out of the house.

Qin Xiao finally found a chance to talk to the man, he didn't want to be delayed by this girl, he was a little annoyed in his heart, glared at the girl and said, "I'm eating and chatting with my friends, you can't even eat if you disturb me." ”

The girl was stunned, she naturally didn't know that Qin Xiao and the man were also acquaintances for the first time, she just thought that it was really a friend gathering and was disturbed by herself, so she suddenly apologized and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just want to go back and return the silver to you." He glanced out the door and said, "Your friend hasn't gone far yet, I'll help you chase it back." ”

Qin Xiao was amused in his heart, he only felt that although this girl's eyes were bright and looked quite smart, she was really doing things, so she deliberately lowered her face and said, "Everyone is gone, what's the point of chasing it back?" If you're kind, go as far as you can. ”

"But...... I haven't returned the money to you, and I ...... it! ”

"You know, in this way, I shouldn't have relieved you." Qin Xiao sighed: "I said that I don't have to pay it back, I don't have time to wait for you here, so let's do it, if we have a chance to see each other again next time, you will return it to me, if there is no day to see each other again, then forget it." ”

The girl's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "It's fun, just do as you say, and if you see you again, I will return the money to you." ”

Qin Xiao said: "Okay, can you go now?" ”

The girl smiled, said no more, walked to the door, glanced back at Qin Xiao, smiled again, bright and moving, and walked out quickly.

Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the girl had delicate skin, and at first glance she was not a girl from an ordinary family, she must be pampered.

She didn't bring a penny of copper coins with her, she dared to go into the noodle shop to eat white food, but she didn't really want to eat the overlord meal, maybe she didn't have the habit of carrying silver on her body, and the expenses on weekdays were arranged by others for him, so she didn't have to worry about the money.

Xiling is located between the Tang Empire and the Wutuo Han Kingdom, and Turtle City is a necessary place for business travel, and almost every day there will be Tang people from the east to settle in Turtle City.

Qin Xiao thought that the girl might be the child of a wealthy businessman, and she came to Xiling with the caravan to see the world, she didn't carry any silver with her on weekdays, and she came out penniless today, so it was reasonable.

After a full meal, when Qin Xiao walked out of the noodle shop, it was already completely dark, and the merchants and residences on both sides of the street had already been lit up.

After only walking a short distance along the long street, Qin Xiao suddenly stopped, seemingly casually glancing at the shop on the side, but the corner of his eye had already glanced behind him, and saw that in the sparse crowd, the girl was sneakily following behind him, Qin Xiao stopped here, and the girl immediately found a place to cover up.

Qin Xiaowan didn't expect her to follow her, and she was vigilant.

Although Qin Xiao is not very old, he has been in prison for many years, understands that people's hearts are sinister, and he has always been wary of strangers.

Pretending not to know at the moment, he walked a little way forward, folded into the alley on the side, and instantly disappeared into it.

The girl followed behind, and saw Qin Xiao burrowing into the alley, hurriedly speeding up her steps, reaching the entrance of the alley, and looking inside, the alley was dark, and there was a dead silence, she hesitated for a moment, and finally walked slowly into the alley.

The alley was actually not long, and when it came to the end, I didn't see Qin Xiao's figure.

Coming out of the dim alley, the girl let out a sigh of relief, but a pair of willow eyebrows were frowning, and through the alley, it was another street, which was still full of people coming and going, more lively than the street just now, looking left and right, cars and people were passing by, but there was no trace of Qin Xiao.

The girl couldn't help but stomp her foot and walked to the other side of the long street.

Qin Xiao blended in the crowd, and when he saw the girl being thrown away, a smug smile appeared on his lips, thinking to himself that I am very familiar with the streets and alleys of Turtle City, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of you?

It was not early, and he was about to turn away, but suddenly he saw another figure walking out of the alley, the man was dressed in black, wearing a hat, the brim of his hat was pressed down, and his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness.

Qin Xiao frowned slightly, the girl came out of the alley with her front feet, and the hat-to-hat man followed behind sneakily, which made him suspicious.

There is a frequent flow of people in Turtle City, although there is a Governor's Mansion to maintain order, but Turtle City is indispensable for chickens and dogs to steal and rob.

Seeing that the hat man was about to disappear into the crowd, Qin Xiao no longer hesitated, stared at the back of the hat man, and followed closely.

The man with the hat obviously didn't expect the mantis cicada catcher yellow finch behind him, he just stared at the trail of the girl in front of him, but he didn't notice that Qin Xiao had been following him.

After turning around the city several streets like this, Qin Xiao only doubted at first whether the hat man was following the girl, and all the way down, he was completely sure.

The girl encountered a leather shop, a rouge shop, and a jewelry shop along the way, and she would go in and walk around, perhaps because of the encounter in the noodle shop, she was penniless, and she didn't buy anything, as long as the girl was wandering around the store, the hat man would find a place to cover up, but secretly she kept staring at the girl, Qin Xiao was like a yellow finch, and she had been staring at the hat man, wanting to see what the hat man wanted.

A few years ago, there was a case of flower thieves in the city, several girls were poisoned, and later the flower thieves were caught, confessing that they would look for targets in the market before committing the crime, and once they saw a girl, they would secretly follow and look for opportunities to attack.

Could it be that the hatsman is also a flower thief?

While thinking, he followed the hat man to another street, but suddenly found that the hat man who was within his line of sight had disappeared out of thin air.

Qin Xiao was taken aback in his heart, obviously seeing that the man with a hat turned to this street, he was delayed at the corner for a moment, how could that person disappear?

The street is quite deserted, there are few pedestrians, and the hat man's outfit is very conspicuous, and it is easy to see, but at the moment, among the sparse pedestrians on the street, there is no shadow of the hat man.

Qin Xiao frowned, and couldn't help but walk forward slowly, looking left and right as he walked, although he didn't see the hat man, but the girl's figure was in the calligraphy and painting shop not far in front.

"Why follow me?" A cold voice suddenly sounded behind Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao's body stiffened, the voice was so close that he could even feel the breath of that person.

He took a deep breath and turned around, only to see that the man with the hat had really appeared behind him, but two steps away, when he got closer, he had already seen a knife hanging from the man's waist, and the hat covered most of his face, and only thin lips could be seen.

"I'm following you?" Qin Xiao tried his best to calm down, the person appeared behind him, if it wasn't for the sound, he didn't even notice it in the slightest, which showed that the other party was really not a good person, and smiled reluctantly: "When will I follow you?" ”

"When you left the noodle shop, you followed me all the way, following me for four streets." The man didn't look up, and his voice was cold: "What do you want to do?" ”

Qin Xiao smiled: "This street is not yours, anyone can walk, why do you say that I am following you?" ”

"Oh?" A strange smile appeared on the corner of the hat's lips: "Who are you?" From the rooftop or from the North Courtyard? ”

Qin Xiao was stunned, he didn't know what the Imperial Terrace and the North Courtyard meant, but it sounded like a place name, and he shook his head and said, "I'm from Turtle City, I haven't heard of the place you said." ”

The hat man only raised his head slightly at this time, under the hat, a pair of eyes were like cold stars, staring at Qin Xiao's eyes, Qin Xiao and the hat man looked at each other, for some reason, it was a little chill on the back of the back, and the person's eyes seemed to be able to see through his internal organs, sharp and yin, and like a blade, which made people have a chilling feeling.

"If it's not their people, don't follow me, and if it's their people, don't follow me." The hat-bearer said lightly: "You will die!" ”

Qin Xiao also frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Are you going to kill people in Turtle City?" This is not the place to let you do whatever you want. ”

The hat man still had a sneer on his lips, and he didn't speak.

"As long as you don't do anything wrong in Turtle City, I won't follow you." Qin Xiao thought of such a terrifying person following the girl, and he was really worried about the girl: "Don't harm people in the city, otherwise the government won't care." ”

"Official?" The hat man looked Qin Xiao up and down a few times: "Who are you?" ”
