"What, who? Going out of town in the middle of the night to do, do, what to do? ”

The officers and soldiers defending the city were a little stumbling, and no matter how harsh they were, they all licked three points funny. The short officer and soldier beside him felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person, so he stopped him aside: "I can't understand a question, go and let me ask!" Ahem, where did you get the call? It's three shifts in the middle of the night, what are you doing in Beijing? Could it be - fugitives, right? ”

"Back to the official, my lord is a businessman from Western Xia, and now there is an emergency at home, and he is about to rush back to take a look."

Nan Chen subconsciously touched the sword on his waist, so as not to fight with him when he was caught off guard, and if he had a one-point advantage, he would have an extra chance of winning.

As had been discussed, she chewed a piece of hawthorn cake and muttered to Yeqi what she had remembered the tone of the Tanguts, and as for what she had said, she couldn't even remember what she had said.

As for Nan Chen, he can only rely on "Yihui".

"Our lord said that it is indeed not suitable to go out of the city so late, there are many inconvenient places, which has caused trouble to the two officials, as long as you help to make it convenient, it will naturally not lose your benefits."

As he spoke, Nan Chen checked the pouch on his waist, and made a slight copper bell of gold and silver colliding, and the two officers and soldiers immediately swallowed their saliva, and their eyes were about to grow on Nan Chen's pouch.

However, the short officer and soldier still pretended to be suspicious, and the tone of the yin and yang was elongated: "Merchant——? How can you, a merchant, go out of the city empty-handed and take nothing with you? Just the two of you, you can also come to do foreign trade? Phew, what a fool! Believe it or not, I'm going to detain you and interrogate you for one night? Yes? ”

If it weren't for the fact that his gaze always stayed on Nan Chen's money bag, Xiang Yeqi almost thought that this person was so conscientious, and now it seems that he just wanted to keep all the silver taels in his bag, and he also wanted to detain himself and Nan Chen.

Xiang Yeqi pretended to be angry and muttered a few more times, and it was Nan Chen's turn to play his acting skills: "Didn't I tell you just now that something happened at home and I was in a hurry to go back?" Those silver goods were naturally left in the hands of their friends, otherwise what year and month would they have to rush back to Western Xia? ”

"I'm just asking you two words, what are you doing so fiercely? What a ......."

The short officer and soldier were also such a bully and afraid of the hard, Nan Chen showed a little fierce look, he couldn't help but succumb, and began to rummage crookedly for the city gate key.

Xiang Yeqi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when an uninvited guest appeared in front of him - Qiu Ming.

The short officer and soldier stopped what they were doing in an instant, and hurried to curry favor with Qiu Ming: "Master Hou, why are you going?" It's a big night, and it's not safe outside! ”

Qiu Ming glanced at it slightly, and the officer and soldier were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe: "Just ask, just ask, don't worry." ”

"Where does Ben Hou want to go, I still need to show you?" He couldn't tolerate anyone in his eyes, so he just sneered coldly, "Deal with family matters." ”

"I see......"

The short officer and soldier smiled and flattered him, and just as he was about to let people go, he remembered the "unidentified" Xiang Yeqi, and hurriedly called Qiu Ming: "Wait! Master Hou, my subordinates remember that the number of businessmen who come to our dynasty to make a living every year is limited, and this person behind his subordinates claims to be a businessman from the Xixia Kingdom, do you have an impression? ”

I was afraid that I didn't stop the short officers and soldiers from opening this mouth.

Qiu Ming originally didn't dare to be interested, even if there were not many people in the Western Xia Kingdom who started foreign trade, there were still one hundred and eighty people, how could he remember such a hundred or so people, and even have to accompany this short officer and soldier to mess around, and play this identification game with him at night?

At this time, Xiang Yeqi was still muttering in his heart Qiu Ming must not recognize himself, the two big characters of weak heart are simply written clearly on the door of his head with familiar ink.

She embarrassed to pretend to be rough and laughed twice, which really hurt her throat, in order to make Qiu Ming not associate herself with the former four princesses at this time, Xiang Yeqi really took great pains.

This Qiu Ming, he doesn't do anything with people at all, not to mention that he still has a grudge against him, Xiang Yeyan doesn't dare to hope that Qiu Ming can hide a lie for himself, as long as this person doesn't recognize himself, then everything will be safe, and it will naturally be best not to see each other again in the future.

Yes or no, he doesn't care at all.

……

However, the moment he looked at each other at the night, Qiu Ming changed his mind.

For people who haven't seen Xiang Yeqi very closely, Xiang Yeqi's dress is indeed not very recognizable, but Qiu Ming's height has also looked at Xiang Yeqi several times, and if he takes a closer look, Xiang Yeqi can't hide it.

He tightened the reins and walked a few steps closer, only two or three steps away from Xiang Yeqi, as if he was seriously identifying whether Xiang Yeqi was someone he knew well, and as if he was purely playing with the nervous Xiang Yeqi, and even found something interesting in it.

Qiu Ming opened his mouth slightly, but he was silent, but he looked tense and understood Qiu Ming's mouth shape.

It is "the narrow road of the enemy".

Xiang Yeqi thought clearly from the beginning, no matter when he met this Qiu Ming, it must be nothing good! She kicked the brass bell hanging on the horse's back twice, to remind Nan Chen not to stalemate here for too long, if something goes wrong in a while, she will run away without saying a word!

"Acquaintance, naturally acquaintance, this is with this, but an old acquaintance-"

Halfway through Qiu Ming's words, Xiang Yeqi could read the evil taste of this person, which was simply the same way as those fierce birds and beasts who had to play with their prey for a long time after catching them.

"I still had a lot of things in the hands of this boss two years ago, but I didn't expect you to be so destined today, and you also want to go out of the city?"

This made Xiang Yeqi a little unable to guess his intentions, if he wanted to embarrass himself, why should he say that he knew himself? can say how kind Qiu Ming is, she doesn't believe it.

Xiang Yeqi only nodded perfunctorily, just his muttering Xixia dialect, he could deceive the guards who had never been out of the Beijing Gate, how could he deceive Qiu Ming Such an "expert", it was better to nod honestly, and not show any handle that could be manipulated by others.

"Since it's an old friend, then Ben Hou won't say anything polite to you, you have to go out of the city, Ben Hou will send you along, otherwise in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be very dangerous to meet the robber again?"

Qiu Ming tugged at the reins, without asking whether Xiang Yeqi agreed or not, he was in a posture of wanting to open the way for others: "Hurry up and open the city gate!" ”

The short guard hurriedly stiffened his voice, and trotted all the way to open the city gate, and Shicheng hurriedly responded: "The city gate has been opened, please hurry up!" ”

Qiu Ming turned around with bad intentions and smiled slightly, and gave an ultimatum to Xiang Yeqi: "Let's go?" ”

Xiang Yeqi hesitated for a moment of silence, and then took some attention to look around, except for himself and Nan Chen, there were only the guards brought by Qiu Ming.

Simply, Xiang Yeqi no longer concealed his identity: "That's not necessary, little marquis......"

……

Before Qiu Ming's response could be waited, Qiu Ming's guards surrounded him first, and Xiang Yeqi saw through it - he was simply "kidnapped" by another group.

Looking at Nan Chen, who was waiting for an opportunity, Xiang Yeqi changed his mind: "Nan Chen, follow them." ”

"Yes."

Nan Chen immediately responded. Even if you want to fight with Qiu Ming's guards, it shouldn't be here, if you make too much noise, it will go against Xiang Ye's original intention.

The two of them followed Qiu Ming's guards all the way, and the two passers-by were silently agreed all the way, which really made Xiang Yeyan feel confused, and he was even more suspicious of Qiu Ming's intentions.

Until he walked more than ten miles away, Qiu Ming suddenly turned his horse's head and blocked the way to Yeqi: "I don't know what the fourth princess is going to do when she leaves Beijing in the middle of the night?" ”

From the moment he kept up with Qiu Ming, Xiang Yeqi felt that sooner or later there would be such a confrontation.

Qiu Ming seemed to be deliberately deceiving her, she didn't listen to her explanation at all, and directly glanced at Nan Chen with ulterior motives, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "The fourth princess shouldn't want to elope at night, right?" ”

Everything Xiang Yeyan said to Qiu Ming needed to be silenced, but I was afraid that after I said it, it would be the sound of radio waves all the time.

So she wanted to tear Qiu Ming's mouth even more.

"What am I going to do, and I have to report to the little marquis?" Xiang Yeyan barely maintained a polite smile, "What happened just now, I owe the little marquis a favor, let's talk about it, in the future, if you are useful to my place, I will be on call, and I will not miss your favor." ”

Xiang Yeqi said casually, after all, Qiu Ming couldn't stay in the capital for a few days, and if he happened to meet such a once, it doesn't mean that he can meet every time, right?

If Qiuming really needs her to repay this favor, she won't rely on this account.

"The fourth princess is so courageous! You can be so refreshing, but it saves Ben Hou a lot of heart. ”

For some reason, Qiu Ming's hearty smile made Xiang Yeqian shudder, this Qiu Ming simply wrote the four big words "uneasy and kind" on her face, for fear that she wouldn't be able to see it.

"Ben Hou needs a little favor from the fourth princess at this time......" the corners of Qiu Ming's mouth raised lightly, "I don't know what the fourth princess just promised, and now you can't do it?" ”

Xiang Yeqi knew that this person had been calculating himself from the beginning, but he really didn't expect him to fight this idea.

The words were said by herself, and now she can't fulfill them, so she has no choice but to apologize to others: "It's not that I lost the covenant of the marquis, it's just that there is something wrong today, and when I am free in the future, I will fulfill today's promise." I'm really in a hurry today, I'm sorry. ”

"So, tomorrow?"

Qiu Ming's words seem to be pretending to be stupid in the same direction, and it seems that he is really feeling stupid.

"Master Hou, you don't have to laugh."

Xiang Yeqi was so angry with him that he couldn't cry or laugh, and he was still angry, but he couldn't spread his anger at this time.

"Heh, I just don't tease you."
