In the middle of the night, Zhou Tianyi, who was sleeping lightly, was awakened by the sound of the window frame, and his hand subconsciously touched the long sword placed on the edge of the bed, his body was motionless, but his eyes glanced towards the window.

For a long time, there was no movement by the window, Zhou Tianyi carefully poked his head out, just the sound of the wind, but there was a faint flickering fire outside the window, he was puzzled, glanced at Qin Song, who was sleeping on the side, and rolled out of bed silently.

Zhou Tianyi quietly opened the window, revealing a little gap enough for him to see the scene outside, there were seven or eight cauldrons growing in the large open space behind the inn at this time, and the firewood under the pot was burning vigorously, and the pot was boiling water.

The sturdy men worked in pairs, carrying the bloody stuff into the cauldron, while the women stood by the pot, scooping everything into the pot with a dustpan, and the older men stirred the long sticks stuck in the pot, and everyone cooperated very well.

He thought it was a small celebration for the locals, and that on this frontier, even two small towns separated by a river could give birth to two different customs. As far as he knows, cooking meat in a raw pot, dancing and drinking wine is a form of celebrating the harvest, but summer has just arrived, and there is still a period of time before the golden autumn of the harvest, is this celebration early?

Zhou Tianyi was muttering in his heart, but the people below began to get up, "......" No one danced or drank, no one played and sang, and no one cheered, everyone had a blank expression on their faces, which really didn't look like a celebration, but like a sacrifice or ...... Funeral?

At this time, the boiling water in the pot was poured into the bucket, in addition to the slag and old meat at the bottom of the pot, there were also skeletons floating out, Zhou Tianyi was surprised, he always thought that the strong men threw into the cauldron were slaughtered cattle and sheep, but the skulls the size of human heads were all telling him that the people in this town were doing unsightly things. Cooking human flesh and bones is one of the great sins in all directions.

After the pot was raised, the strong and pungent smell of medicine came with the wind, Zhou Tianyi choked, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose and turned around, so as not to let his voice alarm the people in the open space downstairs. At the same time, he also realized that the herbs that those women poured into the pot might be medicinal herbs, what is it that needs to be mixed with human flesh and bones to steam?

When I opened the window and looked out, the people below had already been replaced with new water and poured new medicine, and the men were throwing new bones into it one by one. The second floor of the inn was still far away from the open space, and Zhou Tianyi wanted to go out in person and take a closer look, but Qin Song slept in this house alone, and it was impossible for him to put his mind down and go out.

"Yu Fei, Yao Lin, go over and take a look, remember not to startle the snake." He whispered to the roof, after connecting with the "shadows", they have been hiding in the shadows to follow their own side, what they saw today seems to have nothing to do with Yuyan's affairs at first glance, but the smell of medicine still caught his attention, this investigation is related to medicine everywhere, this town may have to put some thought into a good investigation.

The cooking outside was still going on, Zhou Tianyi wanted to observe for a while, but there was a sound of broken footsteps outside the door, the thin blade was inserted through the crack in the door, and the latch was opened gently and slowly, Zhou Tianyi was startled, and quickly turned over and lay down on the bed and got into the thin quilt, and also protected Qin Song in his arms.

The people who came rummaged through the room, it seemed that they were just looking for something valuable, but unfortunately, they went out lightly, and the only things they brought were also put on the inside of the bed by her when Qin Song made the bed, and this little thief was probably going to return in vain.

After the door was closed as it was, Qin Song got up first, squinted at the door, and snorted lowly, the thieves who entered the room in the middle of the night she occasionally encountered when she was doing business at the border, these people only moved their belongings to protect themselves, and hid their belongings, and they didn't have a way.

"Are you awake?" He clearly remembered that Qin Song slept very soundly, and now he didn't even have a little sleepy eyes when he was awake, but before she answered, he first looked at her arm supporting him, "You ......" In Zhou Tianyi's subconscious, there is a big difference between intentionally approaching and unintentionally approaching, and now, they are inadvertently too close, Qin Song's long hair hangs down to his neck, as long as he lowers his head, he looks at him, he asks himself if he doesn't have that kind of self-control.

Being reminded like this, Qin Song also realized that the current posture of the two of them was a little inappropriate, and his hands trembled before he retracted, hastily moved his position, and sat quietly on the inside of the bed with his legs crossed. After the weight on his body was removed, Zhou Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief, and the impulse from heart to body also faded as he slowed down his breathing and adjusted himself.

There was no shadow of the fire outside the window, and there was no more sound of cooking and stirring, and the sky was a little brighter than the middle of the night, and the people in the open space should have dispersed.

Zhou Tianyi, who had completely eased up, pillowed his head with his hands on his head, and improvised to ask Qin Song, "When did you wake up?" ”

"Latch...... There was a sound at that moment. Qin Song replied with a sigh of relief, just now, she touched Zhou Tianyi's chest, which was much hotter than usual, burning her hands and even her cheeks, and her mind clearly reflected the words that Dai Yelou's sisters said to her when they joked - playing with fire.

Zhou Tianyi is right, he is too relieved of him, but this is not something he can control, and he believes it.

"......" Zhou Tianyi was incredulous at Qin Song's answer, she noticed the small sound of the thief lifting the latch, but before he even talked and turned over the bed, she didn't wake up? How alert is she...... It's still low.

"At what age did you start in business?" Neither of them was sleepy, and there was night covering each other's sight, Zhou Tianyi wanted to say something, and asked casually.

"I can't remember." Qin Song chuckled, "I consciously started, I saw my father at home to talk to customers about business, and then my father saw that I was interested in it, and often took me with him, and then later, my father divided a few shops and said to play with me......" Qin Song followed her memory and said that she did not refuse to tell Zhou Tianyi about this, although there were many bad memories when she was in business, but because she had family and friends behind her, it can be said that she has been doing well.

"Playing?" Zhou Tianyi laughed, although he had never seen Qin Huai, but this education method was a bit similar to her mother's concubine, he was too young when he first touched the spear, and he couldn't even mention it, but after a few days, his mother's concubine found someone to give him a small one, and threw it to him and said "play", this game was played into the barracks, played on the battlefield, and played until now.

"Then when did Your Highness enter the barracks? Is it true that the legend is seven or eight years old? "Tonight, the words are all spoken, Qin Song doesn't have much scruples to ask, in her opinion, the princes and princesses are all pampered, and they are crawling around in the barracks at the age of seven or eight, even if Zhou Tianyi thinks about it, the first emperor and Concubine Qi may not allow it.

"Heh, the first time I sneaked into the camp on the outskirts of Beijing was when I was six years old." Zhou Tianyi said a little proudly, "General Zuo hasn't found out that I followed him out of the palace, and I also took advantage of the guard's loophole when I entered the camp, and then the guard on duty that day was punished, so I had to sneak out again and take some things in the imperial dining room to make amends for them." ”

This is what King Zhao of Yushu Linfeng will do? Qin Song pursed his lips, secretly laughing in his heart, and then asked with great interest, "Is it true that you are rumored to be a thousand at the age of sixteen?" "There is no more accurate answer to this kind of thing than to ask me directly.

"Do you believe it?" Zhou Tianyi turned sideways and changed to a lying position and asked.

Qin Song couldn't answer, she neither believed nor believed, she hadn't seen Zhou Tianyi wielding a sword and gun, and she didn't know how far his martial arts had reached, but after being in contact for so long, she felt that he could do it.

Zhou Tianyi didn't really want Qin Song to answer whether he believed it or not, that experience was too profound for him, and when he really said it, he had to slow down, "It's true, but ...... I don't deserve that name. He looked at the top of the bed and exhaled, with a sorrow in his words, "It is the consequence of my stubbornness to go deep alone, and it is also my negligence to incur an enemy attack, and it is my duty to bring them back to the camp." Afterwards, he didn't correct the cause and effect of the rumors, the Quartet army needed a symbol of the heart of the army, and he was just right at that time.

In a few simple words, Qin Song understood, "People make mistakes, and mistakes can be changed, and good is great." ”

"But the lives of people who died in vain can't come back, and my hands, looking clean, are nothing more than that." Zhou Tianyi stretched out his hand, turning it from the back of his hand to the palm of his hand, and his calm tone was full of ridicule of himself.

"But these hands ......" The sky is bright, Qin Song can see the outline of Zhou Tianyi's palm, she was stunned, stepped forward to touch his fingertips, and held it gently, "These hands also protect the people of the Quartet, Your Highness, not all blood is impure." ”

"I know." Zhou Tianyi's tone was still calm, and when he put down his hand, he also pressed Qin Song's hand under his palm, and patted it gently, "I'm going to hurry tomorrow, let's sleep for a while." ”

Qin Song could see that Zhou Tianyi didn't want to say much, she retracted her hand, subconsciously touched the back of the hand that had been patted by him, and lay back to the far side of the bed silently, keeping a body distance from him reservedly, sometimes closing her eyes and sometimes opening her eyes, the first time she could communicate with others so calmly about her past experiences, where could she still sleep.

Zhou Tianyi, who was lying on his back with his arms on his pillow, didn't know whether he was asleep or awake, the sky was a little brighter again, his outline became clearer and clearer, Qin Song secretly looked at his side face in the shadow of the inner bed, and unconsciously fell asleep again.

This night was safe and sound, and when we came together in the morning, Zhou Tianyi opened the window and looked at the open space where the cauldron was born last night, and the open space was still an open space, and there was no trace of any cooking.

After Qin Song finished freshening up, they went out of the room, and Guang Han, Yuesheng and Shen Buwen, who happened to be staying next door, also walked out, the five of them were stunned when they met, Qin Song thought that he was going to meet Shen Buwen's ridicule again, after all, he always liked to hold Zhou Tianyi and her, but he didn't expect that this most unserious person now had an ugly face than anyone else.

Several people exchanged glances with each other, and more than ten days of traveling together made them have a little tacit understanding between them, and there was no need to explain much, everyone thought that this inn and this town were not small.

"Let's talk as we go." The top priority is to advance Xiangcheng, and now there is no time to take care of the idle affairs here, and it is not too late to go back and wait for the "shadow" to report the situation of the town to him, and then make plans.
