Chapter 27: The Draft Girl (2nd Update)
"Hmph. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" The black-clothed man who hired a sand wolf to attack Fan Li and his party before stood in front of An Chonglou and let out a cold snort, "I thought the famous sand wolf was amazing, but I didn't expect that even a small inland caravan would not be able to settle it. ”
In a hurry, the sand thieves pulled out their scimitars and looked at the black-clothed man in front of them viciously, just waiting for An Chonglou to give an order to take his head.
However, An Chonglou waved his hand, his eyes were sharp, and he had seen the silk corners of this person's clothes accidentally exposed, indicating that he was probably also a monk.
He looked at the man in black and said, "The information does not match the facts, I have the right to decide whether to make a move, why didn't you tell us that there were four monks in the caravan at the beginning?" ”
"What? Four monks? ”
"That's right, a loose cultivator with three apprentices, I fought with one of them, no matter whether I won or lost." Speaking of this, An Chonglou's face was a little red, but fortunately, the other party couldn't see it clearly in the middle of the night.
When the man in black heard this, his brows tightened and he was silent, and after a while, he raised his head and waved his hand, "Then you guys go, this deal is settled." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." An Chonglou suddenly shouted to stop him.
"What else?"
"Where's the pay?"
"Hehe, joke, you dare to ask for remuneration if you can't even do what you entrust?"
"I didn't do it because your intelligence was inaccurate, and this commission is beyond our capabilities, but that doesn't mean we didn't make a move. This man has been busy eating horses and chewing for most of the night, and you just say that you can leave, which is a bit too much. As soon as the words fell, the sand thieves had formed an encirclement, faintly surrounding the man in black in the middle.
Although they won't go right with a monk for a word, they can't use knives in order to entrust Jin Ke, after all, they are horse bandits, not Kaishantang.
When the man in black saw this posture, he couldn't help but get nervous, after all, he was the only one here, even if he had the exercises, he didn't dare to say that he could win more than 200 vicious horse bandits without getting hurt, not to mention that there was a high-level An Chonglou next to him who was looking at him with fierce eyes.
Whoosh, a well-made cotton bag flew towards An Chonglou, he caught it, opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the sand thieves immediately let go of the man in black to leave, but his eyes were full of resentment when he left.
The sand thieves who saw him reminded An Chonglou, but he didn't care, "Hmph, are there still few people who hate us now, go, with this gold, let's go back to the desert in exchange for some food, I don't believe that someone in the huge Jiulong Desert can surround our sand wolf." ”
Woooooo A wolf howl soared into the sky, and the sand thieves were extremely excited when they heard that they could go home, and they had enough of the Chu country where there was water everywhere.
After the sand thieves were gone, everything returned to normal, and Fan Da's shopkeeper's convoy never encountered bandits or anything like that, and came to Huiji smoothly.
Over a small hill, Huiji City appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a big river turned a bend from the north of the city, flowed to the east, another small river from the city through the merge into the big river, formed two natural barriers to protect the city, between the two rivers there is a city wall, there is the location of the city gate, a white wall and black tile houses will fill the whole city, the street is bustling with people, a prosperous scene is shrouded in the unique mist of Chu State, like a beautiful picture.
Shopkeeper Fan deliberately turned his head to look, and sure enough, as he expected, Fei Cai was not as surprised as Xiaotong and Yin, although he also nodded, but there was an expression of appreciation on his face.
Such a big city can't be in his eyes, can there be a bigger city overseas? Shopkeeper Fan became more and more curious about the origin of Fei Cai.
The four of Fei Cai followed the convoy into the city gate, and there was a bustle everywhere in sight, and the shopkeeper Fan invited: "Immortal Chief, there is a place to stay, why don't you go to the Fengming Hall with the villain, so that the villain can enjoy the friendship of the landlord?" ”
Fei Cai thought about it, Haoyu has been here for a few miles, but with his identity, he probably won't be too familiar with this place, so it's not bad to go to the Fengming Chamber of Commerce to rest first.
"It's okay, then it's a lot of a bother."
"Where, where is it, the immortal chief can sit in the contempt chamber of commerce, and the villain is honored." Shopkeeper Fan was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the way to the Fengming Hall.
Fei Cai sat in the car and looked at both sides, many ordinary people set up stalls to sell, snacks, clothes, fruits and vegetables, toys, everything, Fei Cai suddenly came to the ancient Chinese city, the strong breath of life on the side of the street made his heart rise an indescribable sense of peace.
At some point, he closed his eyes, as if his whole body had melted into the city. Watching the aunt arguing with the vendor on the side of the road over a few copper plates, the children chasing and playing in the alley, and the two well-dressed men said goodbye in front of the restaurant and invited each other to meet again next time...
Xiao Feng was surprised to find in the PAD, somehow, Fei Cai has risen two levels in a short period of time, and the experience value is still rising.
At this moment, a cacophony of voices interrupted his realization. He frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.
It was an alley on the side of the road, and the door of a house was wide open, and a couple was standing at the door, and the wife threw herself into her husband's arms and wept, and the husband looked at the distance and sighed.
The door of a family not far from this house is also like this, except that there is one more old woman wiping her tears and one more old man sighing.
Fei Cai pointed to the shopkeeper Fan on the side of the alley and asked, "Shopkeeper Fan, what is the situation of these two families?" ”
Shopkeeper Fan raised his eyes and saw this scene as well, then he pinched his fingers and calculated, and sighed: "This is the beginning of the draft girl in the palace of the king of Chu again, probably these two families have daughters who have been selected." ”
"Again, do you often draft girls in this Chu Palace?"
"Almost every year."
"Is the palace of the king of Chu so big, and it needs so many show girls?"
Seeing that Fei Cai was very interested in this, Shopkeeper Fan simply said from the beginning: "Immortal Chang doesn't know, this draft girl has that once every five years in previous years, and the number of people is also limited. Since King Chu Wei succeeded to the throne and established Shi Yaoguang of the Lizhen Water Sect, it has been changed to one election a year, and there is no limit to the number of people. ”
"Not all of these selected show girls have entered the palace of the King of Chu, in fact, more of them have entered the True Water Sect. Although this True Water Sect also accepts male disciples, the top exercises are too feminine, and most of them can only be cultivated by women to the fullest, so this True Water Sect took advantage of this King Chu Wei to obey Queen Shi's words, and wantonly selected so-called show girls from the people to fill the sect. “
"These women have been cultivated by the True Water Sect since childhood, and when they grow up, they will only take the sect as their home, and forget who their biological parents are. The daughters of these two families were selected at the same time, and if the girl's qualifications are mediocre, it's okay, most of them will be released back after a while, and if the qualifications are good, then don't want to see each other in this life. ”
Fei Cai frowned: "Forcing people to separate their flesh and blood, this is also done by those in power?" Then the Overlord Sect and the Hanging Sword Sect where the King of Chu is located don't care? ”
"Hey, the disciples recruited by the Overlord Sect need to be vigorous in qi and blood, while the disciples accepted by the Hanging Sword Sect require a sword heart, if the True Water Sect finds such a trait among those girls, it will naturally be sent to those two sects, how can they have an opinion?"
"Hmph, it turned out to be a kidnapper with a court background, no wonder."
Fan Li didn't dare to answer this sentence, so he could only pretend that he hadn't heard anything.
When the convoy walked over, two monks, an old man and a young monk, turned into the alley from the street, and the little monk saw the two families, happily pulled the old monk's sleeve and said: "Master, master, there are two families there, let's go and eat some fast." ”
"Little stone, don't you see that those two families are sad? How can we bother them at this time? “
"Master, just now at the door of the shop, you said that people are doing business, don't bother, and now when you meet ordinary people, you say that you are sad, it's not good to disturb, I haven't eaten all morning, and I'm about to starve to death." The little monk said resentfully.
"Hehe, have you seen the restaurant in front, it's just time for dinner, let's go there and have some food."
"Master, the leftovers in the restaurant are full of meat, although it is delicious, but didn't you say that your family should avoid meat?"
"Hehe, that's a rule that only those who have received the ordination need to abide by, you haven't taken the ordination yet, and you're growing your body, so it's good to eat more meat."
"Okay, then master, let's go quickly." After speaking, the little monk jumped and ran to the restaurant.
The old monk glanced at the alley again, sighed and left here.
