Chapter XVII
"Phew! Lao Tzu has never seen you so shameless, believe it or not, Lao Tzu extinguished your ancient lamp! The man pointed to the monk's nose and said viciously.
"Donor, it is not appropriate to see blood today."
With that, the monk's eyes flashed, and the butcher knife in his hand flicked off, and blood dripped on the grass that had not covered the upper of his shoes.
"Humph! If you want to fight, you can fight, in the realm of Xiaozhou, I Mu San'er have never been afraid of anyone......"
"What's the noise!?" Xi Shilan floated over with an eye knife, interrupting the conversation between the two.
Xi Shilan, who was wrapped in clothes, had sharp eyes, and the man shrank for a moment. The monk licked the wine stains at the corner of his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "I have never seen such a stingy person......"
Beside the three of them, several piles of corpses were burning, and the smell of roasted meat, burning, and blood filled the air.
Several smells are kneaded together, and it is difficult for a normal person to accept.
"Old Wei, put away your ancient lanterns, it's time to enter the city." Xi Shilan looked at the walls of Xiaozhou City, which was where he should go.
"Yes."
However, Xi Shilan didn't notice that there was a touch of white clothes and a pair of eyes in the dark.
The sky was gray, the drizzle continued, reaching out to let the rain fall in the palm of his hand, the cold wind blew on Xu Qing's face, and everything seemed to be back to last autumn.
Eventful period......
The people in the corridor were busy carrying things, and she didn't look back, silently immersed in the flying rain.
"Lord, another person from the thirteen princes has sent a prayer post."
"When are you coming?"
"There is still an hour to ......"
Xu Qing turned around and walked towards the gate of the mansion, followed by Wu Qi. Along the way, the subordinates avoided one after another, and the butler, who was originally commanding on the side, saw this and trotted to keep up with the pace of the two.
"The carriage is ready?"
"Yes."
This time it was the butler who returned.
When he walked to the gate, Xu Qing stopped, turned his head and instructed the housekeeper: "Just say to the outside world that Miss Ben went out to play, understand?" ”
"Yes."
The butler bent down and buried his head until he couldn't hear the sound of the wheel, he didn't dare to raise his head, he cleared his throat, and shouted, "Close the door-"
"Bang!"
The gate closed in response, leaving only the plaque that was still illegible, and stared at the occasional passerby in front of the door.
"Lord, the people of the thirteen princes are guarding the gate of the city."
Xu Qing opened his eyes impatiently, the carriage could only move slowly in Kyoto, and it was not as fast as the good horses of the princes and generals. Even if you go through another city gate, the ending will still be the same.
Ling Tianlin, do you know what you're doing?
The carriage continued to move forward, and did not stop because of Xu Qing's impatience. In Xu Qing, sometimes silence equals another command, and sometimes it is really just silence.
The carriage stopped steadily a few feet away from the city gate, and a slightly flattering voice outside the carriage said: "Miss Xu San, my prince is invited." ”
Here it comes......
The coachman lifted the curtain, Xu Qing got out of the carriage with the support of Wu Qi, and a dark robe came into view not far away, and the guard next to him was holding wine.
Xu Qing bent his knees slightly: "I've seen the prince." ”
"Miss Xu doesn't have to be polite, this king ...... I heard that Miss Xu wants to go out for a long trip, and I have some friendship with Prime Minister Xu - prepare a glass of wine, and I am willing to go for Miss Xu, please. ”
Ling Tianlin picked up one of the glasses of wine and drank it up, Xu Qing looked at Ling Tianlin with a smile, and then looked at the wine he had received.
The weasel greets the chickens......
The geese have plucked their feathers......
Xu Qing shook his head secretly, and when Ling Tianlin's expression was about to freeze, he drank the wine, Ling Tianlin's expression was relieved, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xu Qing praised: "This more than 100-year-old wine is not trivial. ”
"Miss Xu likes it, I'll send someone to send a few altars to the house another day." Ling Tianlin smiled lightly and waved his sleeves, "Open the city gate!" ”
"The prince is polite."
"Where, where."
"In this way, the little girl was cheeky and accepted it."
"I wish Miss Xu a smooth journey."
Xu Qing glanced at Ling Tianlin meaningfully, "Lord Wang, there will be a period later." ”
When the carriage was far away, Ling Tianlin immediately covered his chest, his face was ugly, no, his heart hurt badly.
He was usually reluctant to smell those jars of treasures, but before he had covered them for two hundred years, he was given a favor by a person called the imperial brother, and was abducted clean by an old fox pretending to be clean.
He's too hard!!
Out of the city gate, Xu Qing's eyes deepened, not that there was anything bad in the wine, on the contrary, the wine was a rare good thing.
The old thing of the Emperor of the Apocalypse reacted quickly enough, and finally played a trick to attack the west.
It seems that every old fox has some instinct to avoid evil. plus a royal brother who has no second heart, Beile should not die.
"What's going on with the eldest prince?" Holding the second red jade piece in his hand, Xu Qing's tone was a little more angry than he even noticed.
"It's the hands of those people, our people have already calculated the specific location, and the last place where the eldest prince disappeared is in the Xiaozhou Ice Field......"
Ice field......
Is that the place......
Xu Qing lost his mind for a while, and the picture of his childhood kept coming to his mind. The sky is full of snow, the mountains overlap and the white sky is connected, and you can even see frozen fish and shrimp through the lake.
How could he be there?
Kneeling on the ground, Noon Yu stared worriedly at the plank.
After a long time, Wu Yu heard Xu Qing say coldly: "Let the people over there prepare thick cloaks." ”
"Yes."
The carriage headed northwest, and the first thing it passed was the edge of the Void County. Xujun and Xiaozhou occupy a lot of land, and it is not easy to cross it, although the ice field sounds far away, but as long as you travel day and night for five days, you can get there.
Pinching the jade piece tightly, Xu Qing squinted in confusion for a while. In the dream, Feng Gu was covered in blood, and he stood in front of Xu Qing and repeated something numbly, no matter what Xu Qing did, Feng Gu's eyes were motionless, as if he couldn't see Xu Qing.
After a long, long time, Xu Qing was left alone sitting in the dark, muttering.
"Ning'er ......"
Suddenly opened his eyes, Xu Qing's hand somehow let go, and the jade piece slipped from between his fingers, and fell apart. Quietly looking at the residue on the board, Xu Qing closed his eyes again.
The first jade piece was returned, and the close-up black-clothed man who had been sealed for many years was almost killed. The second jade piece was sent back, and in addition to the hands of the gang, she also guessed something.
"Lord, there is an inn ahead."
"Stay overnight."
"Yes."
The stairs outside the inn were stained with mud, and before they had time to be cleaned, they looked like they had been left behind half an hour ago. Wu Yu observed while lifting the skirt for Xu Qing.
As soon as I entered the door, it was extremely deserted, and there was not even a drinker. Xiao Er didn't see it, but the gentleman who kept the account took Xu Qing and the others upstairs.
"Guest officer, do you want hot water?"
"Yes, burn more. Meals we sorted out by ourselves. ”
"Okay."
The bookkeeper took the money and went downstairs, Xu Qing frowned, raised his hand and waved open the window, "Noon, it's almost time to the ice field, rest for a day, let our people send things." ”
"Yes."
