Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 17 A Ghost Market at Night

"I don't like to be enemies with people, and I've heard that you're very good, and I thought I couldn't beat you, so why not be friends with you?" Xiao Qiao made a very sincere look.

Friend?

Mu Yi's heart trembled.

The last time he heard that was many, many years ago.

He was only five years old at the time, and when he woke up, it was a dark wall for a week.

He was scared and hugged himself and cried for a long time, but he was still the only one.

He didn't know how long he had been locked up, but when a light opened in the darkness, he rushed out like crazy, completely ignoring how much his eyes hurt from this long-lost light.

He fell to his knees at the feet of a man who looked down at him, and he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but the man said something that stung him like a needle for many years.

"If you can't survive, you can only face this kind of darkness for eternity."

After that, he lived with many children his age, who did not have names, but were named by numbers and numbers and by the number of A, B, C, D.

His name is One.

At first, they were very happy, although they had to practice every day, day and night, and they were always wounded...... Although he is often bullied because he is a little mute......

But compared to the darkness in that house, he still thought it was good.

It was really nice that there was a man who walked up to him at that time.

"Little mute, let's be friends."

The man was called C.

……

"Hey! Poker! Xiao Qiao patted him.

Mu Yi glanced at her left shoulder and frowned in displeasure.

"What do you mean by poker?"

"Hmm...... This," Xiao Qiao's eyes rolled, "That's what brother, big brother means!" ”

“……”

"Do you know what kind of doctor in the city is a good hand, the kind that can stick needles, and I have a headache when I sleep today......

Before Mu Yi could react, Xiao Qiao walked to the door of the small black room by himself, shook it a few times, couldn't open it, and then turned his head to give Mu Yi a look.

Mu Yi took her through the workshop, and every time Xiao Qiao entered a medical hall, Mu Yi waited outside, because Mu Yi hated the smell of medicine.

But every time, Mu Yi didn't wait long, Xiao Qiao just walked in every time and looked up and down the medical hall, left and right, and then looked at the doctor, and then came out with his mouth held and shook his head.

"Do you see a doctor or a look?"

After Xiao Qiao came out of the tenth medical hall, Mu Yi finally got impatient, if it wasn't for his boss Gu Beixuan to withdraw his current task, hand it over to Zhique, and let him protect Xiao Qiao, how could he stay with someone for so long?

Protecting Xiao Xiao? This is really the most ridiculous thing Mu Yi has ever heard Gu Beiyu say, looking at Xiao Qiao, who was smashing the street performance scene at this time, Mu Yi almost rolled his eyes on the street.

"A big stone in the chest? It's kind of interesting. I'll give you a broken silver, and you let me smash it, how about it? Xiao Qiao's face was full of excitement.

To be honest, Xiao Qiao really had never seen this kind of thing, she had heard her brother say it when she was locked up in the courtyard before, and she had tried, and the ending was that Xiao Chongjie asked Aunt Wenxin to remove all the stones in the courtyard, and there could be no such thing as stones in the courtyard after that...... So much so that now, Xiao Qiao feels very kind when he sees the stone.

Mu Yi was about to pull her, but she had already been dragged out.

"Eh, eh, eh, ......" Xiao Qiao was about to pick up the hammer, and was dragged hard, thinking that Mu Yi also found that it was sixteen, and suddenly threw off sixteen as if he had been caught, and hid behind Mu Yi.

Sixteen was stunned, in the past, every time they played, she hid behind her brother like this.

"Come here!" Sixteen is serious.

Behind the sixteenth, there was also a column of city guards, all of whom were acquaintances, who were used to seeing the appearance of the general in front of the commander, all of them were laughing and laughing, and some people laughed out loud, but when they saw Mu Yi's face, they immediately stopped and coughed.

Mu Yi had also heard of this person, Xiao Sixteen, who was picked up by Xiao Chongjie when he was fighting in the northern Xinjiang, and recognized him as a righteous son, and when he picked it up, he was fifteen or sixteen years old, so he called him sixteen. This person has been following Xiao Chongye, and he is also dutiful to the general's mansion. In the chaos of that year, when the Xiao family had been wiped out when the sixteenth rode horses from the field, the sixteenth clothed linen stood in front of the door of the mansion with a big knife, and no one dared to offend the general's mansion.

But Xiao Sixteen is a deputy general after all, how can Xiao Qiao ......

Xiao Sixteen also glanced at Mu Yi.

"Master Mu......" Sixteen Yang saluted, "Xiao Er, come here." ”

Xiao Qiao has a headache, maybe Sixteen has followed Xiao Chongye for many years, these two sometimes have a really similar temperament, since she returned to Beijing, Sixteen is afraid that she will one day expose her identity and cause trouble, and warn her many times.

Don't wander around the streets.

Don't cause trouble in public.

Don't make friends with people in the court.

Good guy, she was caught today, and she committed a crime.

Xiao Qiao coughed lightly, touched his nose and gave the sixteen envoys a look.

"In public, give me some face."

"Do you know it's public? Why are you with him! ”

"Business."

"Business? It's not a personal affair! ”

"What are you thinking!"

……

Mu Yi watched the two of them move their eyebrows and eyes together, and there was a burst of displeasure in his heart, didn't he ask him to cooperate? What does it mean to be here with others now?

After thinking about it, Mu turned his head and left.

"Eh, eh...... Lord Pounce, no, Lord Mu ......" Xiao Qiao glared at Sixteen and hurriedly followed.

"You go on patrol first." Sixteen turned his head to the brothers next to him and followed.

"Little two! Three pots of wine, send me snacks, spicy dishes, and more melon seeds, enough of that! ”

"That's what you're talking about?"

Mu Yi and Sixteen spoke in unison, and after that, they glanced at each other.

"Full of wine and food...... Let's get down to business! "Xiao Qiao is serious.

Xiao Qiao was a self-acquaintance, and he chatted happily with Xiao Er, completely ignoring the looks of the two at this time.

Sixteen is displeased, why does Xiao Qiao do things with Mu Yi, Mu Yi is Gu Beiling's person, Sixteen hates Gu Beiling, there is no reason, he just thinks that he looks very fake, I really don't know what Gu Beiling wants to do with Xiao Qiao.

Mu Yi's face was flat and indifferent, as if he looked like "ignore me, it's fruitless".

After chatting with Xiao Er, Xiao Qiao understood a little more in his heart, and saw that the two of them basically didn't move like this, and said, "If you have food, you don't eat, are you sick?" Then she shot at the food, both of whom had seen her "food" power, and just sighed and didn't say much.

At this time, the street was already lit up with night lights, and Xiao Qiao clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Let's go, two masters."

Wunan Lane and Wusu Lane are only two lanes apart, which is even more remote, but it is more vibrant than Wusu Lane. Because every night light is lit, the night market in Wunan Lane is also quietly opened. Different from the night markets on Prison Phoenix Road and Yongning Fang, this is not a serious businessman, but a "ghost market" where black and white occupy one side.

This ghost market is out of the day and night, so this shop has no name, here, there are pretending to be ghosts to do business, the law of Daqi prohibited, strange doors, strange treasures...... Here, you can find one or two.

Sure enough, with every step, Mu Yi's expression became more and more serious, Xiao Qiao followed his gaze, the things sold in the small shop were in excellent condition, how to look at it...... It's all something that comes out of the official kiln...... Most of them were stolen from the palace or from official homes......

Look at the sixteenth, again, there are foreign slaves sold here, including the Eastern Song Prostitute, the Nanyi Witch, the Western Regions Lannu, and ...... The wolves of the northern frontier.

"Two adults, today I also implore you to empty yourself, eyes ...... Not seen is pure. Xiao Qiao hugged his fists.

It is such a mixed "ghost market" that can find things that serious people can't find. This is also the news that Xiao Qiao only found out from Xiao Er's mouth after a lot of tongues.

"Lord Mu didn't know there was such a trick before?"

"Yes."

"The court doesn't care?"

"Powerless."

Xiao Qiao put his mind at ease, such a "ghost market" mostly involves the interests of many parties, so it is difficult for the court to manage it; No matter what, it violates the law. As a result, this "ghost market" can only crawl here at night. And since the court is "powerless", Xiao Qiao doesn't have to worry about bringing these two people here today and taking the livelihood of hundreds of people.

The three of them walked in front of a shop with its door covered, which was really different from the bustle of the surrounding area, and it had a signboard with only a disc carved on it.

"Let's go, we'll go in." Xiao Qiao said, and pestered Sixteen, Sixteen didn't understand what she was doing again, but seeing Mu Yi's strange gaze, he cooperated with Xiao Qiao's performance more confidently.

Entering the door, through a dark alleyway before finally arriving at the shopkeeper's house, Mu Yi smelled a smell of medicine, only to know that Xiao Qiao was looking for a medical hall again, turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Xiao Qiao.

"Help me." Xiao Qiao stared into his eyes and said.

When the three men arrived, the doctor was seeing a patient. This small medical hall is now lined up with several numbers, and in front of Xiao Qiao, there is also a number three.

Because this medical hall can diagnose and treat strange diseases, it is not shy about diagnosing diseases, as long as the patient does not ask for it, others can watch from the sidelines.

The first person, who was being treated, looked like a scholar, wiping tears as he spoke.

"Doctor, the little student went to Beijing to catch the exam, and seeing that the exam was imminent, he was suffering from such a strange disease, if he ...... If Xiaosheng can't cure this disease, how can he be worthy of his father's upbringing, sisters' care, and neighbors'......" The scholar chattered endlessly.

Xiao Qiao was impatient: "Let's talk about the point!"

The scholar was stunned and cried: "I...... Suddenly illiterate...... I can't read a word...... But the head doesn't hurt or itch...... Not ......"

"Alright." The doctor interrupted.

Only then did Xiao Qiao notice that the doctor was wearing a big cloak to cover his eyes, and he was wearing a layer of white veil on his face, so he couldn't see any of his facial features at all, but the white-clothed fairy was fluttering.

Xiao Qiao's heart tightened, it couldn't really be her.

Mu Yi noticed Xiao Qiao's clenched fists and looked the white-clothed doctor up and down.

Xiao Qiao suspects that this is Rong Su?

"Illiterate, thinking about it, grab the medicine for him and drink it, and then I will apply the needle."

But it doesn't sound like it. Xiao Qiao frowned.

"Illiteracy? What the hell is this? It's not a money scam, is it? Sixteen scoffed.

The doctor glanced at it.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly dragged Sixteen and rushed to the doctor. Facing the people behind: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother's life is short, please do well, Xiaomuzi, give them money, give!" Doctor, you can show my brother first. ”

Xiao Muzi?

Mu Yi glared at the back of Xiao Qiao's head, and reluctantly took off the money bag on his waist and spread it out in his hand, but those who came to see the doctor, looking at the clothes of these three people, knew that these three people must be either rich or expensive, and they didn't dare to provoke, so they hurriedly waved their hands and said, "No, no", and took the initiative to retreat to the back.

"Line up." The doctor said lightly.
