Chapter 193: The Shopkeeper

"Shizun is a Vedic person, if you choose a Vedic person to go to refine the sword, Shizun is only afraid that he will not be happy." Qin Xiao sighed: "Let's go to the right and have a look." ”

Jiao Li said: "The Great Fire God cares about his homeland, which is really a blessing for the Khanate. He glanced at Qin Xiao and said cautiously: "Little Fire God, there are Tocharians and prisoners from the Western Regions over there, let the Little Fire God choose." He raised his hand and said, "Please!" ”

He didn't mention the Tang people, naturally because Qin Xiao was a Tang dynasty and had some taboos.

Death row cells are surrounded by stone walls on three sides, and one side is an iron fence, which is naturally to facilitate the observation of prisoners in them during patrols.

Jiao Li led the way, and Qin Xiao and Tang Rong followed behind.

Qin Xiao's face was calm, with his hands behind his back, Tang Rong wrapped his face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.

Qin Xiao couldn't be sure if the white shopkeeper was locked up here.

Maybe there are too many people in the dungeon, and there are three or four people in one cell, which seems quite crowded.

The turbid air makes people suffocate their chests.

Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, compared to the White Wolf City Prison, the Turtle City Prison was simply an inn, and the Jiazi Prison was a paradise in the prison.

Most of the prisoners in the prison are blind-eyed, they may know that their lives are short, and they can't see any hope on the faces of these people, and they are lifeless, even if Qin Xiao and the others walk in front of the cell, most of them don't even raise their eyelids.

Suddenly, Tang Rong stopped walking, Qin Xiao turned around, only to see Tang Rong standing in front of a cell, Qin Xiao walked to Tang Rong's side, and saw three people locked up inside, all of them were Tang people, Tang Rong glanced at Qin Xiao, there was no movement, but his eyes became very strange.

Qin Xiao immediately understood, approached the cell, and saw that the three Tang people were unkempt and their clothes were tattered, and there were dried blood stains on their clothes, knowing that these people must have been tortured.

"Little Fire God, these Tang people are all spies of the Tang Kingdom." Jiao Li walked over and glanced at the cell: "They are the most heinous people in the world. ”

Qin Xiao nodded, glanced at Tang Rong on the side, Jiao Li was on the side, he couldn't ask if there was a white shopkeeper among the three people.

But he knew that nine times out of ten, these three people were businessmen who were arrested from Tang City.

begging for good fire to burn Tang City, not only the white shopkeeper was arrested, but also many Tang medicine merchants were also arrested.

"Bring all three." Qin Xiao was crisp and neat.

Jiao Li remembered in his heart that the little fire god wanted to choose eighteen people, and this was only three people, and there were still fifteen people missing.

The several cells next door were also locked up by Tang people, and every time he passed through a cell, as long as he looked at Tang Rong's eyes, Qin Xiao knew what to do.

In three consecutive cells, a total of ten people were selected.

Walking to a cell again, Qin Xiao found that there was only one person in this cell, although he was also in tattered clothes, but this person's hair bun was actually very well tied, not as unkempt as others, and he was sitting cross-legged in the corner, with his back to the prison door, holding a small stone in his hand, and painting something on the stone wall.

On the stone wall, the painting is partially completed.

Under the willow tree by the lake, a bull riding a shepherd boy plays the flute.

This is the most beautiful scenery in the Tang Kingdom.

Tang Rong walked to the front of the cell, her body stopped suddenly, her body trembled, and she took two steps forward quickly, Qin Xiao immediately knew something, and before Jiao Li turned his head to look, he was already in the middle of him and Tang Rong, and asked with a smile: "Jiao."

Liyehu, why does this person live alone? Is it important? ”

When Tang Rong heard the voice, she immediately suppressed her excitement.

"He is the leader of the Tang Kingdom's spies." Jiao Li said: "This person is ruthless and does all kinds of evil, and he will be executed in these two days." ”

The man in the cell didn't seem to hear the outside and didn't stop moving.

"He can paint?" Tang Rong, who had not been silent, finally spoke.

At this moment, the man's hand suddenly stopped, but after only a pause, he continued to paint on the wall with stones.

Jiao Li didn't notice this fleeting detail, although he knew that Tang Rong was just a maid of the little fire god, but this maid had been following the little fire god, naturally she was a person close to the little fire god, and she didn't dare to slack off, nodding and saying: "He once asked us for pen and ink, but such a wicked person, how could we give him pen and ink?" So he painted on the walls with stones, perhaps because he was dying and wanted to leave something behind. ”

Tang Rong let out an "oh" and said to the man inside: "The people inside, do you like to paint?" ”

Then the man stopped, laid down the stone, propped his hands on the ground, knelt on his legs, and turned slowly with great effort, without getting up, facing the cell door.

Only then did Qin Xiao see clearly that the man was in his fifties, although he had been in prison for a long time, and his face was almost covered by a beard, but the whole person still looked quite elegant, and his eyes were not as lustless as those of other prisoners, but sharp and bright.

Qin Xiao knew in his heart that if he didn't guess wrong, this person should be the white shopkeeper, otherwise with Tang Rong's calmness, Fang Cai would not lose his temper.

The white shopkeeper looked at Tang Rong, suddenly showed a smile, and bowed slightly.

"You're dying, why bother painting?" Tang Rong tried her best to control her emotions.

The white shopkeeper smiled: "It's because I'm dying that I want to do what I like best." I have a daughter who loves to paint and often gives me her own paintings, but I am always too busy with other things to have time to appreciate them, and I always regret this. In fact, she didn't know that when I was young, I also liked to paint, and my painting skills were not bad, but later in business, I was disturbed by the smell of copper every day, but I forgot my original intention. He sighed lightly and said, "I sometimes wonder, is this path I am walking the right way?" Do you want to inherit my way of doing business, or let her live the life she likes and not be disturbed by it? ”

Jiao Li sneered: "Your restaurant has been burned by a fire, what other way to do business?" You may not know that after you were imprisoned, your daughter fled in the wilderness, and now she is afraid that she has already died outside, gnawed by wild wolves. ”

Qin Xiao also sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that if you knew that his daughter was by your side, I don't know how you would feel.

"But you can't die yet." Tang Rong said calmly: "We are going to take you out of here, go to a place you can't think of, and do something you can't think of." ”

The white shopkeeper smiled faintly and said, "What if I don't want to go?" ”

"I can't help you." Jiao Li said in a deep voice.

The white shopkeeper just stared at Tang Rong, smiling and calm.

Qin Xiao could understand Tang Rong and Shopkeeper Bai's mood, although Tang Rong was a little excited at first, both of them hid their emotions well.

But he can understand better that these two people are looking at each other now, which is really a torment.

The white shopkeeper can see his trusted righteous daughter in prison, and his mood is naturally not very calm, and his bloodstained prison clothes

, can only make Tang Rong see it in her eyes and hurt in her heart.

"Little Vulcan, this person's legs have been scrapped and he can't walk." Jiao Li suddenly thought of something, and said to Qin Xiao: "He is disabled, I don't know if it is useful?" ”

Qin Xiao's heart was shocked, and Tang Rong's body was also shocked.

Qin Xiao only understood at this time why the white shopkeeper had such a hard time turning around, and he never stood up.

It turned out that both of his legs had been discarded.

"As long as it's a great evildoer, it doesn't matter if it's crippled or not." Qin Xiao said: "Take him with you." Looking at Jiao Li Yehu, with a shallow smile, but he was extremely angry in his heart, and he wanted to cut the throat of the person in front of him with a knife.

Of course, Jiao Li didn't expect that the little fire god in front of him had already killed him, so he raised his hand and said, "There are many more ahead, choose slowly." ”

"I chose the Tang people, and I chose a few people from the Western Regions." Qin Xiao covered his nose: "The smell here is too bad, Jiao Li Yehu, there are seven villains left, why don't you help me choose?" ”

Jiao Li hurriedly said: "The taste here is really not good, you two go out first, and I will select seven more people." ”

Qin Xiao saw that Tang Rong had turned around and seemed calm, but her current pain Qin Xiao was completely understandable.

He didn't talk nonsense, turned around and went to the outside of the prison, Tang Rong glanced at the white shopkeeper, the white shopkeeper was still smiling, he didn't dare to stay, and quickly followed Qin Xiao.

The two turned to no one's place, Tang Rong's feet were weak, one hand was on the wall, Qin Xiao looked left and right, no one was nearby, immediately approached, and said in a low voice: "Sister Rong, no matter what, you have to hold on, you can't be found by them." ”

"I know." Tang Rong's voice choked, "His leg is broken." Withdrawing her hand, her body was shaky, Qin Xiao hurriedly held her hand, but Sister Rong approached unexpectedly, her forehead resting on Qin Xiao's shoulder, her delicate body trembling.

Qin Xiao knew that Tang Rong was extremely sad, and this was the weakest time, so he whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, when the white shopkeeper is rescued, let's ask the best doctor to treat him, and we won't let go of any of the people who have hurt him." As he spoke, he stroked Sister Rong's jade back, hoping that she would be able to calm down quickly.

"I'm fine." Tang Rong took a step back and said softly, "Don't worry. ”

Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "At least we found him, this is a great thing, although he is injured, he is still alive, as long as he is alive, it is better than anything." ”

Tang Rong hummed lightly and nodded, "It's good to be alive." Watery eyes soaked in tears looked at Qin Xiao: "Thank you." ”

"Let's go out first." Qin Xiao said: "In a few days, he will be safe and sound." He took Tang Rong's hand and walked out of the prison, but this time Tang Rong did not break free.

The two of them didn't wait long outside the prison before Jiao Li came out and said with a smile: "Little Fire God, the eighteen big villains have been selected, I will arrange for them to be imprisoned alone, and when I set off, I will tie them up again." The fact that these people can die for the Great Fire God is also a great achievement. ”

"Not bad." Qin Xiao also smiled and said: "Someone died because of the master, it is indeed very happy. Ye Hu, you wait and see, when the time comes, I will let those people know what life is called life is better than death, and they must not be allowed to die too happily. ”

Jiao Li Ye Hu laughed, Qin Xiao also laughed, the laughter of the two spread far away, but Jiao Li Ye Hu didn't see it, Tang Rong standing behind him was staring at him, those beautiful eyes, but at the moment they were extremely cold, like a cold knife.
