Gu Qingsong went to the town to study at the school, Gu Qingzhu became more and more busy, thanks to the Qin family's constant help, not only taking care of Qingying, but also helping to cook the vegetable field.

Before the rain, the tea really failed to stop the pace of falling prices of spring tea, and Gu Qingzhu's sparrow's tongue tea cakes were sold at a lower price, only thirty wen a catty.

"Shopkeeper Han, this price is too low, I can't sell tea cakes for much money, and it takes a lot of effort, so I plan to sell fresh leaves in Cuiping." Gu Qingzhu said in a low voice while cleaning up the bamboo basket.

"The tea market is depressed, some small tea shops in Nancang County can't stand the closure of the door, Sansheng tea shop is also moved to other industries to make money barely supported, now the price of tea is low, but the tea horse division of the requirements for tea cakes have increased unabated, in order to prevent the good and the bad, the back probably will not buy the finished tea cakes outside, your plan to sell fresh leaves is also good, we Sansheng has a façade in Cuiping, the price is accurate, although rest assured." Han Shouyi's face was dark, and he nodded.

"Okay, I got it." Gu Qingzhu agreed and left.

From the early spring when the ice and snow just melted to the late spring when the flowers were blooming, Gu Qingzhu walked back and forth in Nancang County more than a dozen times, but he never admired the city seriously and carefully, nor did he visit a rouge ready-to-wear store.

This city is not close to her, and Gu Qingzhu has no attachment to it, even if she doesn't come for a long time after that, she just seems to want to go back to the mountains earlier, because there are people who are very important to her.

"Hey, isn't that the tea girl who came with that mountain boy last time? Why are you alone today? At the street window on the second floor of Fuding Restaurant, there were two black-clothed people standing, they were bored and looked around, and happened to see Gu Qingzhu passing by the market.

"You keep an eye on it, I'll tell the uncle." A man in black said excitedly.

"Okay, although this girl is not very good-looking, it is good to catch the uncle to vent the evil fire, the recent tea market is sluggish, he has lost money, and we will also be scolded, there is no good life!" The other man in black nodded repeatedly.

In the private room of the tea room, Qian Chang was drinking tea with a sturdy man with a cold face and a broad shoulders and narrow waist, and what they drank was not the tea in the teahouse, but the spring tea brought by Qian Chang.

"Deputy Envoy Ding, try this year's Ming Qian tea." Qian Tang diligently served the white porcelain tea cup of the golden plum to the man opposite.

This man was Ding Youdao, the deputy envoy of the Tea and Horse Division, he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Well, it's really good tea!" ”

"Then my tea ......," Qian Qi asked cautiously.

"The tea is good, it's not just you, but it's you who ask for the highest price." Ding Youdao said angrily, he didn't raise his eyelids, and only focused on rubbing the plum blossom pattern on the tea cup with his fingertips.

"I'm a tea before the Ming Dynasty, the price is already a cut higher, so calculated, isn't it slightly more expensive than others, if it is left in previous years, it will not be sold for one hundred and fifty pounds!" Qian Rising smiled all over his face and continued to lobby.

"The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, I don't care what the price was last year, and now the price of tea in Sansheng is one percent lower than yours, do you want me to let him go, but yours? This is how I am worthy of the weight of the imperial court! Ding Youdao raised the corners of his eyes slightly, glanced at Qian Sheng, his eyes were like blades, and he was cold.

"No, no, Deputy Envoy Ding misunderstood......" Qian Shang barely held back his smiling face, and just as he was about to continue, there was an inopportune knock outside the door.

Qian Cheng confessed, went to open the door, and saw that it was the man in black outside, so he asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

The man in black whispered a few words in his ear, Qian Chang's eyes rolled a few times, raised his hand and made a pressing motion, the man in black understood and withdrew.

"Deputy Envoy Ding, I met a mountain hunter a few days ago, claiming to be from the Flying Eagle Battalion of the Mujia Army, but I don't know if it is your old friend?" Qian Sheng returned to the table and poured Ding Yongdao another cup of tea.

"Oh? Is there such a person in this backwoods? I just don't know who his surname is, I can be regarded as an old man in the Flying Eagle Battalion, except for the new recruits, the people next to me can recognize them all, at least I know seventy or eighty percent. Ding Yongdao took a sip of hot tea and asked with interest.

"His name is Liang Mancang, and there is an elder brother named Liang Mandou, who said that at a critical moment, he was on the verge of treason and was executed on the spot." Qian looked at the person opposite.

When Ding Yongdao heard these two names, his eyebrows jumped suddenly, his face became a little colder, and he said indifferently: "I don't know!" ”

"Oh, it's all my confusion, Deputy Envoy Ding is a person who has made contributions in the rain of guns and arrows, I said in front of you that those guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death are really dirty, besides, you and them are like clouds and mud, how can you know each other!" Qian Chang patted his head and pretended to regret it.

"You had a holiday with him?" Ding Youdao pulled the corners of his mouth. Asked coldly, there was no smile on his gloomy face.

"Hey, this is a long story, you know, I have always loved talents, I met by chance, seeing that he was strong and strong, but he made a living from hunting, I felt that it was a pity, so I wanted to take him as a buddy, but I knew that this guy was short-tempered, he didn't agree with a word, and beat my gang, a few days ago, he also made a big fuss in the tea tent in the East Market, and injured more than 10 people." Qian Sheng sighed deeply.

"Can't deal with this? It's not Uncle Qian I know. Ding Youdao sipped his tea and sneered.

"I really want to deal with this kind of turtle on weekdays, I have a lot of methods, no, since I know that he is from the Flying Eagle Battalion, I naturally still look at your face and don't care about him, lest I hurt your robes." Qian Qi said flatteringly.

"Discipline in the army is strict, rewards and punishments are clear, everything is one yard, if he is so arrogant and unruly, slow to speak, I don't recognize him, even if I know, I will not help my relatives, and I will never cover up." Ding Youdao leaned back on the chair, took a piece of shortbread, and ate it carefully.

"Deputy Envoy Ding is worthy of being a soldier who has killed all sides and has been in a hundred battles, and this courage and mind are really admirable." Qian shyly said with a flattering face.

"It's not too early, if you have nothing to do, I will leave first, there are still many things to do with the tea and horses." Ding Youdao stood up, patted the debris on his body, and planned to leave.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the things in the yamen can never be done, you come to be safe, steal half a day of leisure, I specially called his braised chicken today, this dish is a must for his family, in Nancang County are famous, it is said that this dish is well-selected, the production process is cumbersome, if you want to eat once, you have to book it three days in advance." Qian Chang grabbed him and tried his best to keep him.

"You take turns eating every day, I've gained weight." Ding Youdao touched his stomach and said helplessly.

"I heard Lao Yutou say, you have to practice swords for two hours every day, rain or shine, just this perseverance, others can't compare, how can you be fat." Qian Chang looked at the knotted muscles under his black robe and complimented enviously.

"Uncle Qian is really a good means, even the people around me have bought it." The corners of Ding Youdao's eyes fluttered, but he was not surprised.

"How dare you, how dare you, but once I chatted with Lao Yutou, and it just happened to be talking." Hearing this, Qian rose and waved his hand again and again, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

If the horse's fart is good, everyone is happy, if the shot is not good, and the horse's hooves kick you, you don't know how to die at that time.

"What are you panicking about, Yu Jindou has been with me for more than ten years, just like my hands and feet, I don't believe you, can you still not believe him?" Ding Youdao rarely showed a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes." Money rose and wiped a sweat.

It's all a thousand-year-old fox, so don't be crazy and tempting, if you don't know how to put yourself in.

Qian Chang turned around and walked to open the door, and said to the black-clothed man in the outside world: "Go find the shopkeeper's urging vegetables!" But his mouth was stretched out of the window.

The man in black understood, answered, and pedaled downstairs.

Another man in black followed Gu Qingzhu all the way to Ding's noodle restaurant, and Ding heard Gu Qingzhu say that she would not come for a long time in the future, so he forced her to eat a bowl of gnocchi, and deliberately put more oil and vegetable seedlings.

The man in black who came later, along the secret notes along the way, found it effortlessly, Gu Qingzhu's time to eat gave the man in black more time to prepare, and when she left the noodle shop, the two men sneaked up.

The footsteps behind her, not far away, followed by footsteps, made Gu Qingzhu feel an ominous premonition in her heart, but at this moment there was no one in the alley, so she had to walk quickly, hoping to get to the street quickly.

The man in black saw that Gu Qingzhu was almost trotting forward, the light at the entrance of the alley was getting closer and closer, and the figures on the street were faintly visible, they glanced at each other, and they were no longer patient to follow, so they pulled their feet to catch up.

"Help!" Gu Qingzhu used all his strength and ran wildly to call for help.

Before she could shout a second time, a hand knife slashed at her neck accurately and fiercely, Gu Qingzhu immediately fainted softly, and she didn't even see what the person who killed her looked like.

"Baoying, did you hear a girl's voice shouting for help?" Mu Jincheng dug out his ears and hallucinated himself? Why is this voice so familiar, but I can't remember who it is for a while.

"Is there one? I didn't hear you. Bao Ying followed behind him, looking out into the street, the bustling flow of people, like a school of swimming fish, did not have anything unusual at all.

"Stupid! Who would hurt someone in public? Come with me to the alley. Mu Jincheng raised his feet and left.

"Master...... Let's not care about other people's affairs, Su Gongzi is still waiting......" Baoying muttered, but when he turned his head to see that his master had already left, he didn't dare to nag anymore, so he had to stomp his feet and follow resignedly.

"What are you doing, the blue sky and the white sun, you ......" Mu Jincheng got into the third alley, and saw two men in black tying up a girl with flowers and stuffing it into a hemp bag, and then shouted.

The man in black has been in the dark for a long time, and as soon as he saw Mu Jincheng coming in, he already recognized him, and seeing that the matter was revealed, a man in black tore the corner of his clothes and covered his face, without saying a word, he rushed over, kicked him with flying feet and kicked him in a row, and smashed him in the chest, which was a must-kill fight.

"Master!" Baoying, who didn't have time to sacrifice himself to protect the Lord, screamed in panic.

Mu Jincheng spun on the spot, but he was able to avoid the sneak attack, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that another person was already about to leave with a sack, it seemed that these two people not only robbed people during the day, but also wanted to kill him.

One move into the air, the man in black was a little unconvinced, Mu Jin was obviously a straw bag, and he was able to dodge his flying flower footwork, he unwillingly raised his five fingers and grabbed him violently!

"Baoxing!" Mu Jincheng didn't dodge, he only shouted into the air, just like a child who summoned a universal mecha in a childhood anime.
