Chapter 295: Qixia Town
The weather is getting hotter by the day.
After Qin Tian walked for a few more days with grain and grass, he came to a small town at noon that day.
The name of the town is Qixia Town, Qixia Town is not big, and you can almost see the end at a glance.
The liveliest place here is the street facing the entrance of the town, which is very long, lined with all kinds of shops, and there are many shops, and it looks quite lively.
Encountering such a bustling street in such a place, Qin Tian and the others were a little shocked.
However, they soon realized that the place was close to the Silk Road, so many merchants gradually used it as a place of exchange.
Trade here and then leave separately, and over time, it becomes bustling and lively.
If you want to exchange, why do you have to go to Chang'an?
The weather was too hot, Qin Tian and the others didn't have the strength to continue walking, and many soldiers also complained.
In fact, many times, human beings are more able to tolerate the cold than the heat, because the feeling of sweat and lack of water is really uncomfortable.
Qin Tian also wanted to find a place to drink some water and rest, so they pulled the grain and grass into Qixia Town.
There are many shops in Qixia Town, and there are many inns of all kinds, when they are walking on the street, there is a small guy standing outside a house called Linglong Inn, the little guy is wiping his sweat and shouting hard: "The authentic wine of the Western Regions, chilled, don't miss it when you pass by, hurry up and taste it......
The little servant shouted loudly, but it did not attract anyone, and at this moment, a sturdy woman came out immediately, this woman was plump, almost fat.
When the woman came out, she kicked the little man and scolded, "I haven't eaten, shout to me." ”
The little guy looked aggrieved, and could only shout at the top of his voice: "Authentic wine in the Western Regions, chilled, buy wine to drink, and send cool well water for free......
As soon as the little guy shouted like this, many soldiers were immediately moved, as soldiers, they didn't think that they would have the opportunity to drink wine, but Qin Tian could give them some cold water to drink when he drank wine, and they already felt very good.
"Your Excellency, shall we go here and rest for a while?" A slightly official suggested that it would be impossible for all of them to go in, but it would be fine to meet some of them and ask for some water for the other soldiers to drink, right?
In such a place, it is sometimes difficult to encounter cool well water, and many things are inconvenient when you go out.
Hu Shibai was a little hungry, and he also wanted to go into the inn to eat something at this time, so he also hurriedly said, "Childe, go in and take a rest." ”
Qin Tian nodded, and then led people into the Linglong Inn.
"Boss, business is coming." The little girl hurriedly ran away, and in a short time, the fat woman just now ran out.
"Oh, it turned out to be a few military masters, and the woman's name is Linglong, I don't know what you want?"
"Serve a jar of chilled wine, prepare some meals, and finally, fill our jugs with water." Qin Tian commanded, and when the woman named Linglong heard this, she smiled bitterly.
"Master Jun, you want a jar of wine, and you want us to get you so much cold water, isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
"Just give you the money."
As soon as she heard about the money, Linglong immediately smiled and left.
After a while, a jar of good wine was served, after the wine came up, Qin Tian poured a bowl to drink, the wine went down, and suddenly felt that the five internal organs were refreshing, I have to say, it is indeed an authentic wine, the taste is very mellow, better than what I drank in Chang'an.
The food came up quickly, and in this kind of place, you can't expect the food to be good, so everyone didn't say much and just started eating.
At the same time, Qin Tian also asked for some steamed buns and noodles for those soldiers, of course, the cold water must be enough.
Qin Tian ate some and didn't eat again, only Hu Shibai continued, Qin Tian's wine jug and kettle were filled with water, he sat on the side and waited for everyone to eat, as long as everyone finished eating, they had to continue to hurry.
When he was bored sitting like this, Qin Tian would unconsciously want to open the kettle and drink water.
But when the tip of his tongue touched the water in the kettle, a poisonous name suddenly flashed in his mind, which was also the function of the golden finger.
Seeing that the toxicity of this poison was particularly strong, Qin Tian's heart sank suddenly, and someone actually wanted to harm him.
After having this thought, Qin Tian calmed himself down instead, and he began to analyze who wanted to harm him.
The people in this inn must be indispensable, after all, the water is what they fetch, but in addition to the people in the inn, Qin Tian felt that there were other people, because only his own kettle was poisonous, but the food they ate just now and the wine they drank were not poisonous.
Obviously, there were people in his army who wanted him to die, but because he was also in the army, he was worried about eating poisonous food, so he didn't dare to spread the poison, so he only put it in his kettle.
After realizing this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Tian's mouth.
Linglong was still walking around the inn, her figure was really not good-looking, and she was fat.
"How many military masters eat well?" She walked over to Qin Tian with a smile, Qin Tian laughed: "The wine is good, the food is a little worse, this water is also quite cool, relieve the heat, the proprietress has been busy for so long, she must be thirsty, come, my water is for you to drink." ”
Qin Tian handed the kettle to Linglong, and when Linglong saw this, she lied a little in her heart, but she smiled on her face: "What are you kidding, I dare to drink your water." ”
"What do you mean by this, don't you dare to drink it, is it poisonous in this water?"
When these words came out, Linglong became more and more panicked.
"That'...... That is, that there is. ”
"Then drink it."
Qin Tian looked at Linglong, but Linglong's eyes were rolling, this pot of water was poured by him personally, and the poison in it was also put by her, she dared to drink it.
Seeing that Linglong refused to drink, Qin Tian immediately got up and said coldly: "Why, don't you dare to drink it, then do you want the official to tell you the reason, because it is poisonous." ”
Linglong exclaimed, and immediately let go, the kettle was about to fall to the ground, but Qin Tian stretched out his hand and copied it.
"Come on, arrest everyone in the inn for me."
As soon as the order was given, someone immediately arrested Linglong and the little guys here, and Linglong pretended to be innocent at this time.
"Spare my life, I really don't know what's going on, it's really ......"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Monoche had already cut off the little man's head with a knife, and the head rolled on the ground and fell to Linglong's heels, and she screamed in fright.
"The official knows that in this room, some of the official's subordinates are complicit with you, say it, the official can spare you from dying, otherwise, your fate will be the same as this little guy, and it will be even worse."
