Chapter 160: Spending the Night in the Infinite Hall
Because of Xuanwu's sudden appearance, Zhu Qing and Suzaku were saved from a sneak attack by a strong enemy. Although the martial arts of the two are not bad, it is the first time that Zhu Qing can feel murderous. This ghostly white shadow made Zhu Qing feel familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"It's dangerous." Xuanwu was terrified, although he knew where the enemy was coming from, he didn't know what to do at that time, and only ran away instinctively. Who could make the leader of the Jinyi Wei Tianzi who had never been the only one to make others frightened so frightened and at a loss?
"Has there been any special people in the capital recently?" Zhu Qing asked Xuanwu, as a Jinyi guard, these are not problems for them.
"Nope. He was the first to appear. Xuanwu replied.
"Could it be the Iron Mask?" Suzaku asked.
Zhu Qing shook his head, "It's impossible, Tie Fang was just hit hard by us a few days ago, even if he encounters a master, he can't learn such a strong internal force in three or five days." I could already clearly feel his internal force almost overpowering me. "In addition to killing the wind, of course, there is also the living dead wolf king Cao Huachun, almost no one has such a strong internal force, it can't be killing the wind, Cao Huachun doesn't need to play this trick with Zhu Qing. All this made Zhu Qing feel that there was a master in the palace.
The three of them walked, the sky had already darkened, and the capital did not have the hustle and bustle of the night market in the past. There were only a few sporadic lights in the huge capital, and when they lit up, there were one or two baby's cries, and then they went out again, allowing the child's cry to permeate the night.
Zhu Qing shook his head, "How is this like the capital?" ”
"This is already calculated, if it was placed in the past, when Wei Zhongxian was still there...... Hey, don't you remember what it was? Suzaku asked.
"Me? Forehead...... Of course I remember. Zhu Qing swallowed, of course he didn't know the situation at that time, and if he wanted to say that he knew, he could only know about it in the history books, because he didn't cross at that time. But now that he is in the Ming Dynasty after Wei Zhongxian, it has been so difficult, and the horror of Wei Zhongxian's period can be imagined.
"Huh? The lights are still on. Suzaku said, pointing to a house in front of him.
"Your sister heard other people's children crying, you will be a mother in the future, get up in the middle of the night to coax the child, of course, you must also turn on the light." Zhu Qing smiled and shook his head, and was glanced at by Suzaku.
"It doesn't matter if the child cries or not, the lights are turned off very late." Xuanwu Dao.
"Oh?"
"Because they are the shopkeepers who have just moved in from outside the suburbs of Beijing. Because the store opens, you have to rest very late. Xuanwu said.
"Oh? Is it the shopkeeper's family? Zhu Qing was a little excited, as if he had seen an old man, "When they came to the capital, they still dared to open a store with such fanfare?" This is the capital, so I'm not afraid that the iron mask will make them look for trouble? Zhu Qing quickly became worried.
"Iron Mask did come to smash the field, but they were all relieved by me and Lord Liu, Lord Tian went to the emperor and said that the shopkeeper's family had meritorious service to the rebel general Yang Sichang, and the emperor was sympathetic, and gave them a golden plaque, and Iron Mask They have only reined in." Xuanwu explained.
"I see."
"Let's go in and sit down." Xuanwu Dao.
"It's so late, isn't it?" Suzaku Road.
"yes, let's do it another day." Suzaku Road
"Another day? So where are you staying tonight? I can't squeeze it over there. Let me tell you, at this time, except for the shopkeeper, the other shops have already turned off the lights and closed, if you don't go in, you will patrol the streets tonight, anyway, the emperor will not be able to meet you until tomorrow. Xuanwu shook his head and said, Xuanwu has always rarely spoken, but today he said so much, and his actions are slightly exaggerated, this is not like the usual taciturn, cold and serious Xuanwu, what kind of person is hidden under this mask?
Zhu Qing suddenly looked at Xuanwu.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Xuanwu was taken aback.
"Hey, I'm seeing you become more and more able to speak Xuanwu." Zhu Qing quipped.
"Really? Didn't I speak before? Xuanwu's eyes widened.
Zhu Qing shook his head, "We all thought your mouth was sealed by a mask. ”
"Your mouth is covered with a mask."
"Okay, you're not too big or small, are you? Hurry up and knock on the door and ask if you can stay overnight in the "Wuliang Hall" tonight, I don't want to patrol the streets on this cold day. Suzaku pointed to the shopkeeper's shop and muttered.
"'Wuliangtang', immeasurable and measurable, the shopkeeper's family is here to commemorate the quantum brothers." Zhu Qing said as he read the name of the store, and then walked forward and knocked on the door.
"Knock knock, knock knock......"
"Who? It's too late, come back tomorrow morning. There was a response from the door, and it was the voice of the shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper is me, I just arrived in the capital, and now you are staying here for a night, I don't know if it is convenient?" Zhu Qing raised his voice, but he was still careful to control the decibels.
"Is it General Zhu?" The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised, and said to his wife, and the two old men immediately greeted him, "General?!" It turned out to be a general, I thought it was the merchant, this cold day, just rushed to the capital, frozen to death, right? The shopkeeper welcomed Zhu Qing and the others into the house, and motioned to his wife to close the door tightly. It's a mess, and it's not okay if you don't close the door, even if you close the door.
Zhu Qing entered the door, and nodded while looking at the storefront, "Yes, it's much more spacious and clean than before." ”
"Hey, what's the use of being bright and spacious? When the people are gone, there is only one thought left. The shopkeeper muttered that she had not been able to let go of her son's death.
Yes, the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, who can put it down?
"I'm sorry, auntie." Zhu Qing knew that the eldest lady was talking about Quantum, and let alone the scene in the nightclub on the outskirts of Beijing, if it wasn't for Zhu Qing ambushing Yang Sichang in Yedian, Quantum might not have died.
"Hey, why do you keep saying this? Everyone has their own lives, besides, Quantum died well, not only protected his wife, but also punished traitors, do you think the emperor's gold plaque was given for nothing? "The shopkeeper saw that his wife was nagging, like stopping.
"Jin Pai Jin Pai, you call it a son, can he agree?" The more the eldest lady spoke, the more excited she became, and she even started crying.
At this time, the little lady upstairs finally put her little son to sleep, she walked downstairs gently, came to the eldest mother, nodded to Zhu Qing and the others, and helped the emotional eldest lady away.
"Don't disturb my little grandson!" The shopkeeper scolded, and then turned to Zhu Qing, "I'm sorry for my lord, the insider was too excited just now, and he didn't mean to offend the adult." The shopkeeper explained to Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing smiled, "It's okay, we don't blame the eldest mother, in fact, the eldest mother is right, if it weren't for us, maybe your whole family would be reunited now." ”
At this time, it has been nearly a year.
"Hey, let him pass the past, maybe that's Quantum's life, he exchanged his own life for our peaceful life today, we are also very satisfied, this point should be regarded as a sustenance." Although the shopkeeper is more rational, he will inevitably fall into the pain of losing his child.
"Eh, shopkeeper, you see it's so late, this ......" or Xuanwu changed the topic, he often greeted the shopkeeper's family during this time, and almost became a friend who talked about everything.
"Oh, oh, look, I almost forgot about it. How many rooms does the general want? We have single rooms and double rooms here. The shopkeeper said, looking at the Vermilion Bird beside Zhu Qing, he had never seen the Vermilion Bird before.
"Well, that, I want two private rooms." Zhu Qing said and glanced at Suzaku.
"Yes, yes, I want a private room. It's best to be on the street. Suzaku also hurriedly said, and her years of experience in catching heads have made her dependent on the room by the window, and the window is unexpectedly close to the danger, but she also understands the danger better.
Because real fear does not come from what is visible, but from behind the unknown.
After settling Zhu Qing and Suzaku, Xuanwu also rushed back to his residence, he will also enter the palace with Zhu Qing and them tomorrow, what will happen tomorrow? Nobody knows.
"Hey, did you think that the white shadow that attacked us today was sent by Wang Chengen?" Suzaku said to Suzaku that although there were two rooms, they were only separated by one board, and they could still be heard when they spoke.
"I don't know, go to sleep, maybe there will be an answer tomorrow." Zhu Qing said, already yawning.
"And do you think he's coming to us tonight?" Suzaku was still thinking about it, and the days of head-hunting deeply affected this female man who was only twenty-three years old, and he couldn't stop at all.
"Call for ......" At this time, there was already a snoring sound next door.
"Hmph, pig's head!" Hearing Zhu Qing's snoring, Suzaku pursed his mouth, scolded softly, turned off the lights, and covered the quilt.
