Chapter 176: Moths to the Fire

When Qin Keqing and the others heard this, they were stunned, not knowing what to do, and just when everyone was surprised, Wu Tian continued, "If they hadn't received the news, how could it be such a coincidence, this would be too suspenseful!" The indignation on the faces of those who said this was especially great.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn, and even Nangong Feifei, who was still teasing and joking just now, felt as if she had a heavy burden in her heart at this time, which made her feel that her breath was not smooth for a while, so she took a long breath and said, "This is unfounded, no one can say, so are you here to find the answer?" ”

Wu Tian didn't answer, but it was not difficult to judge from his expression that Nangong Feifei was right.

This look made Qin Keqing, who frowned slightly, stunned again, and asked in surprise, "You appeared outside the palace to find evidence?" Speaking of this, his expression was dazed, and he continued with palpitations, "You must know that if you leave the garrison without being summoned, the palace guards can kill you on the spot, you are purely moths to the fire!" ”

Hearing this, the soldiers not only had a hint of panic, but instead burst into laughter, Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Lord Qin, you may not know, at that time, all of us were just thinking about asking for an explanation for the brothers who died in battle, what laws and regulations are there. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and glared at the soldiers with tears in his eyes, and scolded, "What are you messing about, Lord Qin is just talking about things." Perhaps because Wu Tian's prestige among the crowd was quite high, hearing his scolding like this, all the soldiers hurriedly closed their voices and slowly lowered their heads.

The wind did not stop, the sand and stones were still whistling, Qin Keqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he sighed and said, "This place is not a place to talk, you go down the mountain with us first, and when everything is settled, I will come to you again." As for the scheming you mentioned, I'll send someone to investigate. ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they all nodded, and Wu Tian even clasped his fists and saluted, "Everything is up to Lord Qin's arrangement." ”

Qin Keqing waved his hand casually, and said disappreciatively, "Okay, if you have anything to clean up, hurry up and clean up, and we will set off to return to the town in a quarter of an hour." ”

The meaning of saying this is that they think that the soldiers may have some bags or something, but what is unexpected is that before her words landed, Wu Tian and the others said in unison, "You can go at any time!" ”

Qin Keqing was stunned for a moment, glanced at everyone randomly, and then sighed and said, "Since there is nothing to pack, then we will leave now." After that, he looked back at Wen Ziqi and said softly, "When I go back, I will trouble you to help them look at their wounds." The tone seemed to be a command, as if it were soliciting.

Wen Ziqi smiled slightly, and said disapprerovingly, "Listen to Lord Qin's orders!" After saying that, he came to Wu Tian and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, there are still more than ten miles in the town, can the brothers hold on?" ”

This question actually caused a burst of laughter, and before Wu Tian could speak, the soldiers behind him patted their chests one by one and said, "Don't say more than ten miles, it's one hundred and ten miles, but with one breath, you will never be left behind!" ”

Hearing such words, Wen Ziqi smacked his tongue and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll help you take a closer look at them one by one when we get to the inn, and we'll set off at this time!" With that, he turned and walked out.

There are not many people in the morning of late autumn, but this season is very susceptible to wind and cold, so Lao Liu got up early in the morning and waited at the door of Yichun Hall, hoping to sell a little more, but now it is three poles in the day, and it has not yet opened.

The sun was rising, but it couldn't resist the biting wind and cold, Lao Liu tightened his clothes and scolded, "This ghost weather, it's fine in the morning, how can it feel like a change in the blink of an eye." After that, he reached out and touched the pot that was still warm, and muttered, "It's still a little warm, wait and see!" With that, he pulled over the small stool, and began to smoke a dry cigarette. From time to time, he lazily shouted, "Baked cake and tofu flowers, hot!" ”

It's also strange to say, in the past, at least someone would stop and ask, let alone stop and ask today, just turn your head to take a look, or even take a detour, for fear of getting contaminated with something. When Lao Liu was wondering why, a voice sounded in his ears, "Old man, don't you know that something strange happened here last night?" Still dare to sell here? ”

Old Liu followed the prestige, and saw that this person was dressed in a soap robe, carrying a saber in his hand, and was looking sideways at the gate of Yichun Hall.

Lao Liu Tou hurriedly stood up, bowed down, and respectfully returned, "Huang Zhutou, little Lao'er doesn't know about this, no wonder I don't have any business today!" He shook his head as he spoke, and then obediently stayed aside and said no more.

Huang Zhutou glanced back at Lao Liu, his expression was a little strange, Xiang Lao Liu, a small trader of this age, I don't know how many there are in Qingzhou City, if it is not really that the family is poor and unsustainable, why come out to set up a stall to sell in the age of retirement.

Looking at Lao Liu's chilling appearance, Huang Zhutou's eyes were hot, and he said lightly, "What's the matter, it hasn't opened today?" ”

"Yes" Lao Liu didn't think about answering quickly, for fear that he would be delayed if he said it slowly.

"That's okay," Huang Zhutou looked at the door with a solemn expression, and said lightly, "Then bring me a bowl of tofu flowers, and two more baked cakes!" I'm your first and last customer today. ”

At Lao Liu's age, even if they haven't been to private school for a few days, their life experience has already allowed them to speak and do things without leakage. Now when he heard Huang Zhutou's words, he couldn't hear the meaning of driving away, so he was stunned, and then he kept eating with his hands and feet.

Although it was only a short moment, it was still glimpsed by the afterglow of Huang Zhutou. Shocked, he turned around quietly, pulled a small stool and sat down, and asked one sentence at a time, "Old man, this year's Gui Geng!" ”

Lao Liu, who was scooping things with a spoon in his hand, hurriedly put down the things in his hand, hugged his fists and replied, "If you go back to Huang Toutou, you can't talk about expensive words, Xiao Lao'er is seventy and seven out of sixty this year." Then he picked up the spoon and got to work, without any intention of continuing.

"Huh?" Huang Zhutou looked at Lao Liu in surprise, and was stunned, this old man seemed to be sloppy, but he was in his sixties, but his hands and feet did not shake at all. When he was surprised, he saw Lao Liu's hand suddenly begin to tremble.

Huang Zhutou shook his head, laughing at himself in his heart, how can there be so many masters, is this clearly an ordinary old man, it seems that he is too worried.

Just as he was thinking, the things were already in front of him, and Huang Zhutou was not polite, just eating with chopsticks. While eating, I couldn't stop exclaiming, "It tastes good, and business should be pretty good!" ”

Lao Liu, who had been standing with his hands down, heard this, and hurriedly clasped his fists and replied, "If you go back to Lord Catcher, my business depends on the appreciation of the masters of Yichun Hall behind me, otherwise I would have starved to death!" As he spoke, he respectfully pushed the dipping sauce that had been placed far away and pushed it closer.

"Oh?" Huang Zhutou raised his eyebrows, and asked calmly, "You mean, you come here every day?" As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a biscuit, took a bite and chewed it carefully.

"Hmm!" Lao Liu bent his waist almost parallel to the ground, and said in a low voice, "My lord, do you have something to ask Xiao Lao'er, Xiao Lao'er doesn't know anything!" As he spoke, his body trembled like chaff.

If it weren't for the blind, he would have been able to see it, but Huang Zhutou seemed to have really become blind, and continued to eat the cake and drink the tofu flower as if he were not blind.

After a few bites, a bowl of tofu flowers bottomed out, Huang Zhutou licked his lips unsatisfied, and after a little thought, he turned the bowl in his hand to the bottom and said, "Help me make another bowl!" ”

"Hey," Old Liu Tou hurriedly straightened up and reached out to pick up the bowl that was handed over. I don't know if it was cold or trembling, Huang Zhutou's bowl slipped from his hand.

"Smack!" The Haikou bowl shattered in response, and Lao Liu Tou hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, begging for mercy, "Uncle Catcher, it's the little old man who is blind and slow, and he can't catch the bowl handed by the adult." He bowed his head as he spoke.

Huang Zhutou was stunned for a moment, and then said with a light smile, "I'm afraid that you will be scared, I don't blame you for this, it was my slippery hand that caused the bowl to break." ”

Saying that, he waved his hand and continued, "Okay, okay, get up, since the bowl has been broken by me, I won't eat it, there is a little broken silver here, enough to make up for you!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver the size of a fingernail from his sleeve pocket and threw it on the table.

Lao Liu hurriedly stood up, picked up the silver and wanted to return it to Huang Zhutou, but found that Huang Zhutou had already stood up and walked towards Yichun Hall.

He took a few steps to chase after him, and said respectfully, "Uncle Shopkeeper, how can I collect your money, I am worth a few copper plates." As he spoke, he tried to put back the money in his hand.

But Huang Zhutou suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and glared at Lao Liu, "You don't remind me, I almost didn't remember, you said that you, a vendor who sells breakfast, shouldn't you go to the most populous vegetable market?" How can you stay in this remote corner where birds don't poop all the time! ”

Hearing this, Lao Liu's expression was obviously stagnant, and then he shook his head and said, "Lord Head Catcher, you may not know, I am old and frail, and the entrance of the vegetable market is in the easternmost section, and I live in the westernmost part, so this round trip is too far." Speaking of this, he sighed and continued, "And I can't make much money in a small business like mine, but it's all the same there!" ”

"Oh?" Huang Zhutou turned around, looked Lao Liu up and down, and said with a puzzled face, "There is a way to make small profits but quick turnover, isn't it better to buy more," halfway through speaking, he suddenly remembered what Lao Liu just said that the old man was not suitable for traveling, so he changed his words and said with a smile, "It's a bit like it, I didn't take into account your age!" ”
