Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 7 The Red Dust Woman
As soon as Qin Zijiao came, he asked Su Erniang to help them prepare a platform on the second floor. At a fixed time every day, the girls of Xianghun Building will also take turns to perform some of their own stunts in the hall, Xiao Qiao has not met them before, but Qin Zijiao is very familiar with them, and greets every girl in the building, and the doors are very clear.
Xian Xian was also shocked to see Xiao Qiao coming with Qin Xiaoye today, but she didn't say anything, just stood aside to add tea and pinch her legs for Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao called her to sit down and rest, she only shook her head and smiled.
The woman performing today is the second sister that Xian Xian said, this woman is wearing a bright color and is playing the pipa, which is a beautiful song, but she has a bewitching face, and Xiao Qiao has no interest in watching it.
"This piece is called "Xunyang Moonlit Night", which is elegant and beautiful." Qin Zijiao said proudly.
"Your forte is listening to music?" Xiao Qiao was a little sarcastic.
Qin Zijiao was not annoyed this time, and his tone was raised a few degrees and said, "Xian Xian, is Lord He Bi, the head of the household department, here today?" ”
Xian Xian thought for a while: "Yes, Childe, it should be Sister Xi'er now." ”
Qin Zijiao raised his eyebrows at Xiao Qiao with some confidence, pointed to the middle-aged man who was clapping downstairs and said, "That person must be a businessman from other places, doing jade business, and his mind is okay, but he is searching." ”
Xiao Qiao looked at the man when he heard the sound, he was indeed dressed well, and he also had a blessed face, but he didn't look like a foreigner, but how could he tell if he was from Luoning City and what kind of industry he was doing? Xiao Qiao was a little unconvinced.
"The thin one next to that person is a thief, he knows a little kung fu, and he also has a background, so the jade merchant is going to suffer." Qin Zijiao continued, but his voice was a little lowered.
"A thief?" Xiao Qiao and Xian Xian were a little surprised.
Qin Zijiao was even more happy when he saw them like this, with an expression of "wait and see".
A song, the jade merchant just clapped his hands, and did not want to reward, was about to leave, when passing by the thin man accidentally bumped into his stool foot, the thin man stood up and gave him a gift, the jade merchant saw that this person was dressed decently, thinking that in a place like Luoning City, Kyoto, knowing one more person may be more money, and the two talked for a while.
Xiao Qiao's eyes were staring at the two of them tightly, and he didn't see that the thin man looked like he was about to make a move, and he was about to complain, but he saw that the thin man's sleeve seemed to be a little bulging. At this time, when he went to see Qin Zijiao, he just smiled and drank tea.
Attaboy. Xiao Qiao still secretly praised him in his heart.
Xiao Qiao raised his eyebrows at Qin Zijiao, took a melon seed between his fingers, rubbed it with his fingertips for a while, and then popped it out with his middle finger and thumb, which seemed light, but it hit the thin man's hand directly, and as soon as he shook his hand in pain, the money bag fell out of his sleeve.
The jade merchant and the thin man looked at the money bag on the ground and looked at each other, the thin man didn't run, with a look of "what can you do with me", the jade merchant was also shrewd, picked up the money bag with a smile, said that he accidentally fell out, and then slipped away.
After Xiao Qiao saw that the jade merchant was gone, he said to Xian Xian, and also pulled Qin Zijiao away, because the thin man was looking for someone to attack him in the building with a grim face.
"What to go? Although he has a bit of a background, I am the master of the Qin family, are you still afraid that I can't cover you? Qin Zijiao was very unhappy to be dragged away, he hadn't heard enough of the song, he guessed that the woman's next song would be "Overlord Removing Armor", this is the song he likes.
"What? Do you still want to be beaten by your father? Xiao Qiao glared at him.
Qin Zijiao thought about it, it seemed to be the same, thinking that Xiao Qiao's hand was steady, accurate, and ruthless, and he also had some respect for her in his heart.
"Master."
Xiao Qiao didn't answer him, just looked at him and motioned for him to continue.
"You'd better stay away from that slender man, this woman in the red dust, it's better not to be contaminated."
-
The next day, Qin Zijiao came to the general's mansion early, but today he was dressed a little simpler, his clothes were purple silk, embroidered with silver clouds, and there was only a cloud-shaped mutton fat hosta pinned to his bun.
"Are you going to practice with me or go to the flower building?" Xiao Qiao was still a little dissatisfied, Xiao Qiao's hair was just tied up with a bamboo hairpin, the ends of his hair were scattered, he was dressed in a jujube red cloth shirt, his waist and wrists were locked with leather, and a pair of jet-black leather boots were waiting on his feet, and he was looking at Qin Zijiao with his hands around his chest at this time.
For the first time, Qin Zijiao felt that the cloth clothes were so good-looking, and he was also very bright along the way.
When the two of them arrived at the school, Sixteen was taking the soldiers to practice, Xiao Qiao then thought, no wonder he rarely saw Sixteen in the general's mansion these days, it turned out that this martial idiot was soaking here all day long.
When the soldiers saw Xiao Qiao coming, not only did they not become more serious, but they squeezed their eyebrows at her one by one, and all the people who took the training in Su Ri were Xiao Sixteen, although the sixteen were also very dignified in private, but they were really a little too strict in terms of practice, and the soldiers were waiting for Xiao Qiao to come to the rescue at this time.
Sixteen knew their thoughts, but just glared at Xiao Qiao, and Xiao Qiao only smiled at the soldiers with a "powerless" smile, but when Xiao Qiao looked at Sixteen's walking posture, his heart still sank.
In the fourth year of their conquest of Nanyi, that is, last year, because of a misjudgment by Xiao Qiao, the group of the Sixteenth Belt fell into the trap of the Nanyi bandits. This poison is strange, like a red thread, and this red thread will start to spread from the soles of the feet to the top when it is poisoned, and it hurts like a needle prick everywhere it goes, Xiao Qiao read all the medical books left by Mrs. Xiao Yu, and did not find any results.
You have to act quickly to do that. Xiao Qiao said secretly in his heart.
Qin Zijiao was very nervous at this time, because he found that from the time he stepped into this school field to the time Xiao Qiao took him around the school field, those soldiers were walking on their horses and didn't move, he felt that his legs were inexplicably numb, and he was worried that Xiao Qiao would let him practice like this, so he moved two Taishi chairs out with a smart feeling and asked Xiao Qiao to sit.
Xiao Qiao naturally knew the child's thoughts, so he sat down with a smile and said that he would observe and learn the method today.
"By the way, have you heard about any strange people in Luoning City visiting today?"
"Strange people? Ignorance. Qin Zijiao supported his face with his hands and looked at the group of sweaty men, "What news does the master want to inquire about?" ”
Xiao Qiao glanced at him lightly.
When he was in Nanyi, Xiao Qiao took a lot of painstaking efforts to find out the cause of Sixteen. This is the poison of a Gu insect in Nanyi, that kind of Gu is naturally born in swamp shrubs, it is very difficult to solve, and for a long time, only one person has heard of solving this poison. And that person is the miracle doctor of the world, with a wonderful hand rejuvenation technique, but he has been hidden in the world for many years, and is known as the crane Wu immortal.
"If the master doesn't want to say it, the apprentice doesn't ask." The young man smiled and said, "However, if you want to say that this is the most well-informed person in Luoning City, Kyoto...... It's Su Erniang! ”
"Su Erniang?"
Qin Zijiao looked at her with a puzzled expression, and also put on a "What?" You don't know this", and then patiently explained: "Su Erniang is the old bustard in Xiangsoul Building!" I used to work in the palace, and it seems that I still ...... A concubine's palace maid...... Anyway, her background is very hard, she is mellow, plus there are so many people in her building every day, what officials, merchants, royals, families and Jianghu guests, she naturally knows a lot, master, if you want to inquire about something, look for her! ”
Su Erniang, Xiao Qiao silently read in her heart.
-
When Xiao Qiao went to find Su Erniang, the smile on Su Erniang's face was about to fly out of this building, she thought that Xiao Qiao was coming to her to redeem Xian Xian, these days, Su Erniang treated Xian Xian like her daughter, delicious food and drink, and Xian Xian was a lot more mellow for this.
Su Erniang heard that Xiao Qiao was here to inquire about the news, so she was naturally willing, and after Xiao Liang asked deeply and shallowly, Su Erniang gave her an address.
"The person the general said is not an ordinary family, and Erniang doesn't dare to be a guarantor, but this place is worth a visit to the general, few people know, but there are some doorways." Su Erniang patted Xiao Qiao's hand coquettishly and went out.
When Xian Xian came, she saw that Xiao Qiao was in a daze, so she lit a soothing incense and soaked in the pot Longjing. Xiao Qiao smelled the fragrance today and was right, thinking that Xian Xian had a heart, she sometimes felt that Xian Xian was very similar to Ah Shuang for a moment, slow temperament, but it made people feel soft, although there was no bright color, but it made people feel like incense made of green bamboo.
Especially looking at the slender hands, Xiao Qiao always thinks of her aunt, who is also such a pair of slender and white hands, with distinct joints, because her aunt has to deal with herbs all year round, so the nails are always clean, and they are not colored, like a few petals of pure jade fat.
"Slender girl, if you are alone here, will you be homesick?" Xiao Qiao asked.
"I'm like duckweed, sinking in the water, thinking about it or not." Xian Xian replied lightly.
"What do you want to do if you leave this building in the future?" In fact, Xiao Qiao also had the idea of redeeming her body for Xian Xian before, thinking that she went to the house, maybe she also had a partner with Ah Shuang, and this kind of person who has experienced the cold of the world knows best what grace is, and should also be warm to others.
Although Xian Xian thought of Xiao Qiao to redeem her every day, when she really heard this, she was still shocked, her face was already crimson, and she replied, "Naturally, it is...... Win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated. ”
Xiao Qiao was stunned when she saw her like this, but she just thought that Xian Xian was just a girl's shyness when she talked about love.
At this time, she suddenly noticed some small sounds coming from the window, and the teacup was in her mouth, paused for a second, and threw it directly out of the window.
Sure enough, the porcelain teacup was facing a sharp cold arrow, and with a crisp sound, the teacup rolled to the ground and shattered into pieces.
"Let's go." Xiao Qiao frowned and said to Xian Xian, reached out to draw the Nine Dragons Whip pinned to his waist, and his hands were empty, only then did he remember that Qin Zijiao borrowed her whip to watch in the school field today, as if it was placed in the school field and did not bring it, but the cold arrow had already pierced straight in, Xiao Qiao hooked up and kicked the sword with his hind legs and then swirled.
The killer was dressed in black and masked, and his swordsmanship was as fast as lightning.
Xiao Qiao secretly scolded, is it fatal to dare to assassinate in the downtown area?
