Chapter 14 A Visitor in the Night
Seeing that everyone was enlightened, Lord He struck while the iron was hot and said: "So the purpose of calling everyone here today is to hope that everyone can work together and work together to find a way, otherwise everyone will be broken one by one, and when the disaster is destroyed, it will be too late." ”
The people present nodded their heads to express their absolute obedience to the master's arrangement, and the scholar said, "Since the mansion master has recruited us, there must be a good way?"
City Lord He pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Situ, it's okay, I don't dare to say, after many discussions in the City Lord's Mansion, I can only give it a try for the time being." ”
"Please speak to the city lord. ”
"Yes, but there is dispatch and absolute obedience. ”
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Lord He said, "I have a general map of Qinglin City, please take a look." With a wave of his hand, two yellow-clothed boys walked up and spread a pair of scrolls on the table where everyone was sitting.
After the map was laid, City Lord He pointed to the map and said: "We decided to divide it by region, and the method of linking the five families has changed slightly, and secretly we have to send people out to secretly investigate, because this force does not necessarily come from the ...... in the city."
In this way, He Feng sent down wave after wave of orders in the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone who received the order went separately and secretly acted.
The night in Qinglin City is very quiet, even the main street in the center of the city, the most prosperous area in the past, there are few pedestrians, although many people do not know what is happening, but the seemingly calm Qinglin City is a fierce undercurrent.
Qiu Miaoxue woke up and found that it was already dark, because she hadn't eaten at noon, and at this time, her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
Hearing Qin Xin shouting at her to eat, she got out of the car, and saw that everyone was busy burying the pot and cooking, she looked fresh, but she didn't know what she could help, she had always been the master of food at home.
At this time, it was the summer season in July, and it was quite cool when the light wind blew, Qin Xin brought a bowl of spicy noodles from the temporary stove by the stream, and there were a few pieces of barbecue on the noodles, handed it to her: "Eat quickly, I walked slowly today, so I got a little late here, and now I started cooking, I heard the eldest brother say that they camp here at the first stop every time." ”
Qiu Miaoxue found a big bluestone, wiped the stone clean with a hand towel before sitting down, took the noodles and ate them, although this meal is not as delicate as the one made at home, but this bowl of noodles is numb and spicy, which is very suitable for her appetite, and she is also hungry, so it tastes like relish.
After a while, she ate a large bowl of barbecue and noodles.
Qiu Miaoxue finished eating, took the hand towel to Xiguo and washed it, then blushed and said to Qin Xin: "Master...... I ......"
Qin Xin was eating noodles with a few guys, and when he heard her call the master, he was startled, and directly squirted out the rice in his mouth, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't, don't scream, I can't be your master." Several young guys laughed when they saw Qin Xin's squirting rice.
As soon as Qiu Miaoxue heard this, he actually didn't recognize the master, so he was a little anxious.
But seeing Qin Xin's embarrassed appearance, he still laughed out loud and said, "You want to play Laipi, didn't you agree to accept me as an apprentice?"
Qin Xin wiped his mouth while putting the rice bowl on the ground: "I just promised to take you on the road, but I didn't promise to accept you as an apprentice, and I am not a few years older than you, so I can't be your master." ”
"Then what do you want me to call you?" Qiu Miaoxue is in a hurry now, and she can't care so much.
Qin Xin thought for a while, and then said, "That's it, you can call me Brother Qin." ”
Qiu Miaoxue pouted and said, "Hmph, maybe it's not as old as me, why should I call you Brother Qin? I'm eighteen years old this year, what about you?"
Just now, even "Shi Bo" was willing to be called, but at this time, "big brother" was unwilling to be called, Qin Xin secretly felt funny: "I happen to be one year older than you." ”
Qiu Miaoxue showed a suspicious expression, blushed and said, "Brother Qin, Brother Qin, I'm ...... I am in a hurry, and I want to make it convenient. ”
Qin Xin seemed to have expected this, smiled and pointed with his hand: "There is a small hill over there, do you see, it is convenient for the women to be behind that small hill, it is convenient for you to go over there." ”
Qiu Miaoxue followed the direction of Qin Xin's finger, and sure enough, she saw a small hill in the distance, and she said with an embarrassed face: "It's so dark, I'm ...... Afraid of the dark......"
Qin Xin really couldn't help it, he laughed out loud, he saw you twice dressed as a woman, and he was so timid: "Don't worry! My eldest brother said that there are neither bandits nor beasts in this generation." ”
Qiu Miaoxue was still so good that she didn't leave, her face was swollen and red.
Qin Xin had no choice but to turn around and say to a middle-aged woman in her forties: "Aunt Li, you can go and accompany Miss Qiu to make it convenient." “
The woman was adding firewood under the pot, and when she heard Qin Xin say this, she put down the firewood in her hand and responded, "Okay, Third Young Master." He smiled at Qiu Miaoxue and said, "Come with me, miss." Qiu Miaoxue walked to the hillside with Aunt Li.
At this moment, Qin Chu came over and said to Qin Xin, "Third brother, I have something to say to you, there is a forest over there, let's go over and take a walk!" After speaking, he pulled out his eyebrow bat from the frame.
Although the Qin family majored in swordsmanship, Qin Chu had always disliked using swords, he felt that the sword was too light and not easy to use, and the swordsmanship was also turning around, so it was better to use a stick to go straight and smooth, so he chose the eyebrow short stick as a weapon.
Qin Xin was stunned for a moment when he saw that his eldest brother had drawn his weapon, and when he saw that his eldest brother gave him a look, he also took off the long sword from his horse and followed his eldest brother towards the woods.
The two of them walked to the woods before Qin Chu stopped.
Qin Xin secretly wondered to himself, why did the eldest brother bring him so far and bring weapons, did he want to learn martial arts with him to see if my swordsmanship had improved?
When he was about to open his mouth to ask his eldest brother, Qin Chu clenched his fist at an empty place in the woods and said, "Your Excellency has been with us for so long, isn't it time to show up?"
Qin Xin was secretly frightened, listening to the tone of the eldest brother, there have been people following them all the way, but he has not found any clues, it seems that he still has too little experience, he slowly took out the long sword and held it in his hand.
As soon as the words fell, a thin black man dressed in black jumped down from a tree and said: "It is worthy of being the eldest son of the Qin family of the Hongbo Boxing Club! Yu thought that he had left no traces along the way, but he didn't expect you to find out." ”
Qin Chu looked the other party up and down a few times, and saw that the other party's eyes were small but shining, and there was a big word "Feng" on the belt of the robe, and he had already guessed seven or eight points, but he still asked cautiously: "Your Excellency?"
The thin black man hugged his fists and said, "In Xia Yujing, he is a secret guest of Fengyuan Villa." ”
Qin Xin also understood the meaning of the person who came and asked, "Sure enough, it's from Fengyuan Villa, then you must be here for Miss Qiu." ”
Yu Jing said: "Yes, I was ordered by the owner of my family to invite the young lady home. I don't know if you two can let me meet the young lady."
Qin Chu glanced at the third brother, since the person was brought by the third brother, it was not easy for him to call the shots.
Qin Xin secretly thought that it would be inconvenient to bring such a little girl who didn't know anything along the way, and this was a family matter, so it was not easy to stop it, so he said: "Of course you can, I'm still worried that I don't know how to persuade her to go back." ”
Yu Jing was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to agree so happily, he had already sent the information of the young lady back to the villa, and was going to wait for the people to sleep tonight, and then find a way to take the eldest lady away quietly, so that it saved a lot of things.
When the three of them returned to the team, Qiu Miaoxue was already finished, and was chatting with Aunt Li about something, and they were chatting quite happily, and they didn't bother when they saw Qin Xin coming over.
Qin Xin had no choice but to shout: "Miss Qiu, please come over for a while!"
Qiu Miaoxue said goodbye to Aunt Li at this time, walked over and said, "What's the matter, Brother Qin." ”
"Do you know this person?" Qin Xin pointed at Yu Jing, although he believed that most of what the black and thin middle-aged man said was true, it was better to let Qiu Miaoxue confirm it.
Qiu Miaoxue turned around and looked at Yu Jing for a while before saying, "Manager Yu, why are you dressed like this?" I almost don't recognize it. ”
The person who came was Yu Jing, the kitchen manager of Fengyuan Villa, of course, this is the kitchen manager is his identity on the bright side of the villa.
So Qiu Miaoxue almost didn't recognize him when she saw him dressed in a turban and tied up a headscarf.
Since the eldest lady recognized it, he could only say bluntly: "Eldest miss, you didn't return last night, and the lord was very worried about your safety, so he sent me to ask the eldest lady to go back." ”
Qiu Miaoxue easily said that Qin Xin took her out, how could she go back with Steward Yu and said: "You came just in time, you just told my father that I was very bored at home, and I went back after going out for a spin, so that he didn't worry about me, and with the protection of the two sons of the Qin family of Hongbo Boxing Club, there would be no problem with my safety." Her last two words were said to Qin Xin, hoping that he could help say two words.
But she didn't expect Qin Xin to neither answer nor look at her, so angry that she wanted to scold.
But fortunately, Yu Jing had long thought that this would be the result, and he didn't mean to stalk, but if he went back like this, the master would definitely blame himself for his disadvantage, and it was useless to ask for softness, and he was not necessarily the opponent of the two sons of Hongbo Boxing Club.
It seems that he has to think of another way, just when he hesitated, a carrier pigeon flew by, Yu Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly let out a few strange screams, and then as soon as he stretched out his hand, the carrier pigeon fell on his hand.
He took the letter from the pigeon's feet and looked at it a few times, and said with understanding: "Miss, can you write a letter for me to bring back to my master, so that I can go back and have an explanation." ”
Qiu Miaoxue didn't know what was written on the carrier pigeon, and when she saw that he didn't mean to force herself to go with him, she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll write it now." ”
Qiu Miaoxue originally wanted to write a letter to her family when she arrived at the post station, so the words had already been thought of, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the team were also readily available, and she wrote the letter and handed it to Yu Jing after a while.
Yu Jing took the letter and said, "Miss take care all the way. Then he turned around and disappeared into the night.
"It's really strange that the master should agree to the young lady to go with them. Yu Jing thought as he walked.
