"There are monsters in the mountains". One sentence raised the hearts of Xing Zhen and Pu Gongling to their throats.

Pu Gongling, who had a slightly brighter brain, said slowly: "Since Ma Ruixue has never mentioned that there are demon beasts in the mountains, the biggest possibility is that the demon beasts have not appeared long ago and have not yet been known by Ma Shouguo. ”

Xing Zhen nodded slowly in approval: "There is indeed a possibility." ”

Then he continued: "At the moment, there are officers and soldiers guarding these children, and I don't know if it is protection or something else. We can't do it rashly, it's better to wait and see what happens. ”

The puppy didn't bother to pay attention to this, and lay lazily on the ground by himself. Consult with you, and it will do as it is.

Xing Zhen thought for a long time and said: "If you want to find out what is going on here, you have to rely on Ma Ruixue's relationship in Majing County. You and I are not familiar with each other, and it is difficult to make any gains. ”

Pu Gongling agreed: "That's true, I don't think it's as good as this." We split up, staying here to watch the children, and following Ma Ruixue into Majing County. ”

"Okay, that's it. Xing Zhen made a decision and continued: "The little puppy stayed to help Brother Pu, and I led Ma Ruixue and the little beggar into Majing County together. ”

"If there's any danger here, it's protected by a big black and white bell for the puppy. As long as you don't meet someone who is too strong, your safety can be guaranteed. ”

After thinking for a while, Xing Zhen suddenly felt that he didn't pay attention to what he said, and changed his words: "It's better for me to stay and take care of it, Brother Pu will send them into Majing County." ”

Pu Gongling smiled heartily and waved his hand again and again: "I'll stay here, your eyesight and good will make it easier to find clues." Here, relying on the nose of the puppy, it is also easier to detect abnormalities. ”

"It's my most useless, so I'd better have the self-knowledge to do some hard work. ”

Xing Zhen is not hypocritical, and he also knows that with Pu Gongling's temperament, no matter how much he is persuaded, he will not leave Huye Mountain.

immediately hugged his fists and said: "Brother Pu, pay attention to safety." ”

But Ma Ruixue, who was sitting in the carriage, touched the little beggar's head and asked, "Do you really want to enter the palace as a little eunuch?"

The little beggar didn't think about it, and the head chick pecked the rice: "Mmmmmm, I heard that the little father-in-law can eat and dress warmly." ”

"But the palace has stopped recruiting eunuchs, and you're too late. Ma Ruixue told the truth.

The little eunuch burst into tears: "Woo woo, I ran away in vain again, and my sins have been in vain." ”

"Don't cry, don't cry, my sister has a way to send you to the palace. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little beggar, Ma Ruixue was soft-hearted and volunteered to help.

Then he sighed: "It's very hard to be a little father-in-law, and you have to serve your master." If you do something wrong, you will be beaten, if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, you will have your head cut off. ”

The little beggar's head turned into a rattle again: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness, I'll do whatever others want me to do." I don't talk much, and I keep working so as not to offend anyone. ”

"Little fool. Ma Ruixue stroked the little beggar's head like a big sister.

"My family is very rich, I will give you some money, you can also eat and wear. You see, it's better than going into the palace to serve others. ”

Unexpectedly, the stubborn little beggar vetoed: "No, I want to make my own money to support myself." ”

The little beggar said something like a child's joke. But in Ma Ruixue's eyes, she couldn't laugh.

Think about yourself from birth to the present, Yilai stretches out his hands to open his mouth, and has never thought about self-reliance. I can't help but sigh secretly: "The children of poor families are in charge of the family early." ”

The little beggar suddenly jumped up, raised his finger and stretched out his finger to Huye Mountain: "Look, Big Brother Xingzhen is back." ”

In the distance, a young man with a negative sword, a few scurried to the side of the carriage. Habitually scratching his head and smirking: "Let's go, let's go to Majing County together." ”

The little beggar doesn't know if he is dependent on Xingzhen, or if he just likes to be with this big brother. After hearing this, he was very excited, and he clapped his hands while jumping his feet.

Ma Ruixue was much more shocked, and the joy in her heart flashed. Objected loudly: "No, if you offend those men in black, they will not let you go." ”

Xing Zhen didn't care, and said casually: "If you don't get in the way, you will be safe when you come." I have my own business to do, and I can protect you a thing or two. Maybe I need Miss Ma to help, I wonder if she will lend a hand?"

Ma Ruixue said righteously: "It's an honor for Childe to need help." But Makyung-gun is too dangerous for Childe, so I hope you will think twice. ”

Xing Zhen asked rhetorically: "Isn't Majing County dangerous to you?"

Ma Ruixue was choked lightly, biting her lower lip and whispering: "Dangerous." ”

"Isn't that it, you have your things to do, and you insist on going to Makyung County without fear of danger. I also have my own things to do, and you are not afraid of danger, am I afraid?"

Ma Ruixue couldn't refute it, as if muttering to herself: "They are very powerful, we may die in Majing County if we go." Childe Renyi, I don't want you to take risks. ”

Xing Zhen changed the topic: "After arriving in Majing County, can you send the little beggar to the palace first." I believe that you have such strength, and you do not want to see the little beggar take risks with us. ”

Ma Ruixue nodded: "No problem." ”

The little beggar suddenly retorted: "I want to be with Brother Xingzhen, I don't want to enter the palace alone." ”

"Dong" Xingzhen rewarded a chestnut, and said angrily: "Can you still follow me for the rest of your life?" ”

"Aren't Pu Gongzi and the puppy cub walking together?" Ma Ruixue asked the doubt in her heart.

Xing Zhen confessed but did not tell the truth: "No, they will stay in Huye Mountain for a while." The thing I asked for was also to inquire why the imperial court placed these children in Huye Mountain. ”

"Okay, I'll do my best to inquire. "Ma Ruixue should take it. She kept her secret, and she naturally wouldn't ask more about what Xing Zhen didn't want to say.

Xingwang Inn is located outside Majing County, surrounded by deserted people, but business is extremely hot. All because the proprietress has a unique business book, the price is not cheaper than in the county, but those who have come to stay here would rather walk a few more steps, but also to reward the old lady with a face.

There is a well outside the courtyard of the inn, and the water from the depths of the ground is cool. A group of people were sleeping soundly by the well, probably dreaming of a villain's book, and their saliva flowed for a long time.

Xing Zhen took care of himself and picked up a bucket, first giving Ma Ruixue and the little beggar a bowl each. The cold well water was under the belly, and the heat of Huye Mountain was instantly expelled. The two of them exhaled a long breath, very satisfied.

Then, Xing Zhen did not give himself, but brought a bowl of water to Lao Ma first. The body is thin and the fur is dull, and the big family should have slaughtered the old horse for meat. came out of Cailuan Country, and contributed to Xingzhen and others, and should enjoy the treatment they deserve.

As soon as the bowl touched the old horse's mouth, the shopkeeper, who had been awakened, jumped up and kicked it in a sprint. He scolded: "Little thief, dare to steal my well water, and don't look at who opened this shop." ”

Xing Zhen dodged and dodged, but he was not angry. Stretched out his hand to make a stop and quickly explained: "Little brother, don't get me wrong, I can't bear to disturb you when I see you asleep." When I thought about going to the inn for a while, I paid for it along with the well water money. ”

The guy was very satisfied and said, "Well, that's not bad. The hotel is the money for the house, and the well water is the well water money, how many bowls have you drunk?"

Xing Zhen looked at this guy, his figure was not strong, and his appearance was just that kind of passerby, nothing special. A pair of cross-eyed eyes on his face are particularly noticeable, which counts as the only characteristic of the guy.

I didn't have the internal strength of the martial arts just now, so I didn't care too much and said honestly: "I've drunk three bowls now." ”

Then he said, "I'm going to drink another bowl in a while, and you can count it as the money for four bowls of well water." ”

The guy pulled his fingers while turning the pair of cross-eyed eyes: "One tael of water a night, four bowls of water should be five taels of silver." ”

Let's not talk about the sky-high price of water, just the method of calculating the accounts makes the criminal really embarrassed. Is this a deliberate miscalculation? Or does it really not know how to settle accounts and do it unintentionally?

Patiently said, "Little brother, did you miscalculate." ”

The cross-eyed guy pulled his finger again and said, "That's right, it's five taels." ”

"Bang", the guy got a hard kick in the ass. The plump proprietress who rubbed a thick layer of rouge scolded: "You little rabbit lamb, you hacked people's money again, right?" Look at your grandfather after he comes back, don't discount your dog's legs. ”

The cross-eyed guy jumped out of the way and dodged with vigilance.

The next moment, the plump proprietress changed into a warm smile: "A few of you are coming to the small shop for the first time, please come inside, please come inside." ”

Xing Zhen didn't move a step and asked, "How much is a bowl of this well water, since we drink it, we should pay for it." ”

The plump proprietress waved her hand and said, "Don't listen to Zhang Qing's little rabbit nonsense, how can you ask for money for a bowl of well water." ”

Xing Zhen smiled: "Thank you, boss, can you please move our horses into the stable first, so that we can take care of it." ”

The proprietress looked at the miscellaneous old horse, but finally didn't say what she thought in her heart, "I should kill and eat meat". Ordered: "Damn Zhang Qing come over to me, this fart is handed over to you." I'm waiting, and I'm missing a hair to ask you. ”

Then he looked at Xing Zhen and the others and said, "Childe, please." ”

Zhang Qing, who was reluctant, looked at Xing Zhen with a blank eye after accepting it. The meaning is obvious, since you help you take care of the horses, you have to tip a little.

The little beggar didn't understand this, and surprisingly Ma Ruixue didn't understand either. As for the punishment of the truth, let alone it, even if he knew, he was reluctant to pay for it. Just under Zhang Qing's full hope, he watched Xing Zhen and the others enter the inn with the proprietress with his eyes.

A four-corner table with four benches on each side. Xing Zhen and Ma Ruixue sat opposite each other, and the little beggar was probably addicted to taking care of people, perhaps in order to prepare in advance for the little father-in-law. Instead of taking a seat, he rubbed his sleeves against the polished table.

The proprietress turned dark: "I said little brother, we are very clean here, you don't have to do this, right?"

The little beggar smiled: "I'm used to it, big sister, you are busy with you, I'll sit down in a while." ”

A sentence of the big sister's plump shopkeeper was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Just rush this sentence, this meal is seven, no, eight folds." ”

"Thank you hostess. After Xing Zhen hugged his fists and thanked him, he ordered two plates of cheap vegetables at random. Don't ask for a good appetite, just be able to eat enough.

"Hey, Feng Niang, bring a pot of wine. When the other guests were greeted, the proprietress apologized and said, "A few guest officers will take care of themselves first, and I'll go and greet the others." ”

Xing Zhen clenched his fists: "Please feel free." ”

After Feng Niang left, Xing Zhen asked in a low voice: "Who is the owner of this shop, listening to the tone of the guy, it seems to be very powerful." ”

Ma Ruixue shook her head slowly: "Childe, forgive me, if you want to talk about the inns in Majing County, I can know a thing or two." But this is the first time I've been here outside Majing County, and I don't know who the owner is. ”

Xing Zhen didn't force it, and looked around after an "oh" sound. The inn's dozen or so tables are all full, there are people who drink and brag, and there are also knights who drink quietly with swords hanging from their waists. There are also big-bellied businessmen, who have everything in all shapes.

Just as Xing Zhen was watching, people from the three tables around him left one after another. The eyes of the torture are really clear, and he clearly remembers everyone who leaves.

In a short time, the knights with swords at their waists were the first to return. The man sat down and his butt was not hot, and another group of people followed. Seeing that there was no place in the inn, he didn't leave, preferring to stand by and wait.
