Chapter 700: A Gesture of Effort
As soon as Father Chen's words fell, the burlap bag carried by the two guys trembled, and Father Chen thought that he was dazzled and misunderstood.
"What's in it? How can it still move? β
The two men winked at each other and said, "Oh, this is a pig that we need in our kitchen, and it has already been knocked unconscious, and it may be that now that we have come to our senses, we are going to start making troubles again." Old man, we really haven't met the person you just mentioned, so you better go and inquire elsewhere, we still have something to do here, so we won't chat with you here. β
"Hey, that'...... Don't go! β
"The old man really doesn't have time to talk to you, we're busy here, and the pig will be in trouble when he wakes up." Saying that, the two guys left in a hurry with the bags of hemp.
"What a weirdo, this pig has to be packed in a burlap bag, it's really exquisite." Father Chen watched the two guys leave suspiciously. Since there is no news about Qingyan, I can only go out and inquire again.
"Big brother, did you just hear what that old man said? The woman he was talking about was the woman in the sack, and she was struggling a little bit just now, and she almost scared me half to death. One of the men whispered to the one next to him as he walked out of the inn with the sack.
"Don't talk about you, I'm also scared, the woman the old man said may not be this! I can see a lot of beautiful blue-eyed women on the whole Khitan street, all of whom came here from the Western Regions to see the prosperity of the Khitan, are these people he is looking for? However, as soon as the old man finished speaking, the woman in the sack reacted, and I don't know if she recognized the old man. Why don't we open the sack and ask her? β
"Don't be stupid, what does this have to do with us? More is better than less, let's take care of this idle matter, or load people into the car in Henan! β
"Well, brother, you're right, let's go!"
After speaking, the two of them walked towards the carriage that Cui Shan had prepared when he went back, regardless of the people in the sack who kept struggling.
Originally, Chen Qingyan should have lost the direction of finding the Son of Heaven in the Khitan Imperial City, but this time when the mysterious man came back from the other side of time and space to change some things, he accidentally triggered the butterfly effect, causing many things to go wrong. Chen Qingyan also had this catastrophe.
The woman who was tied in the sack was Chen Qingyan, and why she appeared in this sack had to start from the beginning when she came to Khitan.
Because of his father's mistake in calculating the hexagram for a while, the final calculation results actually showed that the Son of Heaven had appeared in the Khitan and even the artifacts of the three gates of time and space had appeared, in fact, there was no Son of Heaven in the Khitan, and the Son of Heaven had never left Wuyue all this time. It's just that in the near future, he will indeed appear in Khitan for some reasons.
And Chen's father's good death was just counted at that point in time, so he mistakenly thought that the Son of Heaven had stayed in the Khitan, and Chen Qingyan was also brought to the Khitan by the inexplicable father's hexagram. Of course, the result was that Chen Qingyan ran almost the entire Khitan Imperial City to Beijing for most of the year, but she didn't find any trace of the Son of Heaven.
She was very anxious in her heart, she knew that she was not familiar with the place in the first place, and it would definitely not be good for her to stay like this for a long time, and besides, the year she had said would soon pass, and if she could not find the Son of Heaven, she was worried that she would really not have the opportunity to see her mother again in the future. So under her inquiry, she learned that not long ago, Xiang Yu specially reached an agreement with the Khitan Emperor in order to let the people of Southern Chu go to the Khitan for business and communication have some resting places and not be bullied by the Khitans, asking him to let him send someone to open an inn in the Khitan Imperial City to facilitate the living of the Southern Chu people.
Originally, this behavior was a great thing for the people of Nanchu, and everyone was surprised how Xiang Yu, who has always been cold-blooded, suddenly thought of thinking about the people, in fact, he didn't really think about the people, but he set up such an inn in order to facilitate the investigation of Khitan intelligence in Khitan. And the inn also united some local forces to attack their own compatriots. For example, when the wallet of the Wuwei Daoist was stolen, it was carried out with the tacit consent of the guys in the inn, and they could get benefits from it, if it wasn't for Cui Shan who found out that person was the Wuwei Daoist that time, he would never have helped.
But the naΓ―ve Chen Qingyan thought that she could get the clues she needed in the Tianyi Inn, so she looked for it. But she forgot that with her alluring appearance, she would cause a lot of trouble wherever she went, and even a person like Cui Shan, who claimed to be a righteous gentleman, had an idea about her.
"Excuse me, is this the Tianyi Inn specially prepared for the people of Southern Chu and set up by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu?"
"Yes, yes, do you need me to help you?" As soon as the guy in Tianyi Inn turned around and saw a stunning beauty taking the initiative to ask him about this inn, how could he not be willing to tell her, and she almost hooked off her entire soul.
"Well, I want to ask if you have three moles under your feet?" Chen Qingyan asked embarrassedly. When she came out of the house, her father told her that the only way to identify the Son of Heaven was to be able to identify it, and it was very unreliable and difficult to tell. That is, the real Son of Heaven not only carries three artifacts, but also three moles on the soles of his feet. Generally, three such precious artifacts, the Son of Heaven naturally will not take them with him, and Chen Qingyan can only know whether the other party is the Son of Heaven by asking other men if there are three moles on the soles of their feet.
But in the long run, the people who were asked were in a reverie, thinking that Chen Qingyan was deliberately seducing them and wanting to belittle her, and finally made her put herself in danger every time.
This time it was like this again, Xiao Er's face flushed, and he said shyly: "No, girl, why are you asking this?" Could it be that you ...... me?"
"Childe, don't get me wrong, I'm just looking for a person who has three moles on the soles of his feet, but I don't know what he looks like, so I can only find him through this method." Chen Qingyan hurriedly explained, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
It turned out that this was the case, Xiao Er was disappointed, but he still said to Chen Qingyan enthusiastically: "I'm sorry, girl, I didn't, I haven't heard of any of us who have three moles on the soles of our feet, I see that you are a girl who asks this weird thing, I'll help you ask together!" β
"Great, if only a man could help me find it, I would save a lot of unnecessary trouble, the little girl has thanked her son here first. Then I'll stay in this inn, I hope you can help me ask about the guests who come and go, and if you find such a person, you must tell me. Please. Chen Qingyan saluted Xiao Er.
"Girl, please get up, it's not troublesome, it's just a matter of effort." Xiao Er said with a smile.
