Chapter 156: Mysterious High Roller (3)
Illiterate? Wei Nong was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at the man in black suspiciously. She looked at his demeanor, although it was not noble and elegant, but it was also neat and simple, and he should be a cultivated person. Moreover, his clothes and swords are simple and extraordinary, which is not affordable for ordinary people at all. Also, how can ordinary people spend money and silver to charter so many rooms for ten days in a row?
How can such a demeanor, such a speech, such a generous shot, be illiterate?
Seeing the slight puzzled look on his face, the man in black also let her look at it openly, and asked expressionlessly, "Why, the girl doesn't believe me?" ”
Wei Nong didn't want to inquire about his private affairs, so he smiled casually: "Where is it, you are too worried." ”
The man in black held up the note and sighed: "It seems that I still have to trouble the girl." ”
Wei Nong was choked, thought about it, and had another plan: "That's good, I'm almost ready." If Childe doesn't dislike it, he will take my set and use it well. As she spoke, she went to unwrap the saddle.
The man in black quickly raised his hand to stop her, and his handsome face pretended to be distressed: "It seems that the girl doesn't want to make friends with me." It's a pity that I helped the girl twice in a row, but I was disgusted so far. ”
"Twice?" Slightly stunned, he suddenly understood: "At noon yesterday in the restaurant?" ”
The man in black bowed his head and recognized it.
Wei Nong suddenly realized: "I also said that there is someone so arrogant that he can use silver as a secret weapon!" Childe is really chivalrous! Informal! ”
"We're each other." The man in black laughed back.
This time, Wei Nong could no longer find a reason to shirk, and he also changed his opinion of him, and hurriedly asked: "You weren't injured at noon yesterday, right?" How did you solve those people? ”
The man in black waved his hand at her and said with a smile: "Although I can't read, I'm okay." Girls don't have to worry. ”
It's not just "good skills"! It's just a very strong hand, and there are no false hairs! Wei Nong can still remember yesterday's scene, the silver is as fast as lightning, she can't see who made it at all, she can only hear the sound of the impact to judge, the person who sent the dark weapon is an expert.
is so chivalrous and hidden, no matter how you look at it, you should be an upright person. Is it really that he is prejudiced against him?
This person has an advantage - he knows his mistakes and makes changes. She thought of her villainous heart, and felt even more guilty. And the other party helped her twice, she couldn't be ungrateful, so she smiled sincerely: "Since Engong wants to procure, then what are you waiting for, let's go?" ”
"There's no hurry." The man in black seemed to see through what she was thinking, and the smile in his eyes became stronger, and he pointed to the left side of the street: "It's not early, let's eat first." ”
Wei Nong took a look at the situation, and the place he was referring to was a restaurant, and the plaque read, "There is a fate to come to meet".
*****
The two of them went into the restaurant to eat together, the food of this house tasted average, but the wine was good. After the meal, Weinong insisted on checking out the bill to show her gratitude, and the man in black did not fight, so she went.
After dinner, the two went to the market again. The man in black had no mount, so he had to walk with him, and the horse followed behind them. There are a lot of things to buy, from the east of the city to the west of the city, there is a slight pain in the feet, especially since she has walked twice!
A few of the vendors could even recognize her and sell her the same thing again, a few points cheaper than the first time.
After walking around until sunset, both of them had their things ready, and had dinner together before returning to the inn. For the first time, the man in black stayed here today.
I was so tired that my legs were about to break, and I was weak when I went upstairs; The man in black looked complacent, pretending not to see her tiredness.
At the corner of the second floor is the "Tianzi No. 1 room", Wei Nong stood at the door of the room, and when she was about to say goodbye to the other party, she found that she still didn't know his name. Moreover, he didn't ask her.
Interestingly, they actually got along happily for a few hours, calling each other "Engong" and "Girl". The more Wei Nong thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly, and then said: "Look at my memory, I don't know the name of Engong Zun now!" ”
"My surname is Qi, and my home is in Youzhou." He replied in such a casual manner, concisely and to the point.
Youzhou is an important town in Ningguo, and borders with Jiang and Yan, and the two roads of water and drought extend in all directions, and it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times. And there are outstanding people, and there are many famous people in civil and military affairs.
"Good place." Wei Nong sighed in admiration, and gestured in the air again: "Is it the 'Qi' of 'working together'?" ”
"Nope." The expression of the man in black remained unchanged, and he had a kind of lazy and uninhibited: "It's the 'Qi' of 'Spring is late, picking Su Qi Qi'." ”
Surname Qi? Home in Youzhou? A thought passed through Weinong's mind, but it was so fast that before she could grasp it, another thought was replaced in her mind, prompting her to ask in surprise, "Aren't you illiterate?" How can it be the Book of Songs? ”
Qi Gongzi seemed to have been pierced through the disguise, and he seemed to have nothing to say. He hung his head silently, frowned, and said no more.
Wei Nong thought he was going to admit that he was lying, but after waiting for a long time, he heard him reply with difficulty: "Don't hide it from the girl...... That's all I can say. ”
"Huh." Wei Nong was always skeptical, but it was not good to say anything more: "That...... I'll just call you 'Qi Gongzi', okay?" Or 'Qi Daxia'? ”
"'Brother Qi' sounds better." He replied with a sense of concern.
It's really going to take advantage! Wei Nong couldn't help but shudder, and then deliberately yawned again, and said to him left and right: "Master Qi, go and rest!" Too late. ”
The son surnamed Qi didn't correct her title, but leaned on the edge of her door and didn't leave, and asked with a smile like yesterday: "What about you?" What is the last name called? Where is home? ”
At this point, Wei Nong finally heard a little flirtation, but felt that he shouldn't be this kind of person, more like pretending to be romantic. So she also replied half-truthfully: "My surname is Ye, and my home is in ...... Quzhou. ”
Quzhou is the land of Chu.
The son surnamed Qi was silent for a moment when he heard this, and an indescribable complex look flashed on his face, and he instantly lost his romantic meaning.
Wei Nong sighed in his heart, and asked with a smile: "What?" Childe doesn't believe it? ”
"No," Gongzi surnamed Qi looked at her, "I'm a little tired, say goodbye." With that, he straightened up, and went upstairs with his sword in his hand.
*****
When I woke up the next morning, I felt that my legs were sore, and I guessed that I had walked too much yesterday. She originally wanted to rest in the inn for a day, but remembering that she had promised to stay here only for three days, she didn't dare to be lazy, so she had to go out with spirit.
Yesterday, she patronized the purchase of items for the prince surnamed Qi and herself, but she mistook her mount - she named it "Xiangrui", just to miss the little bear raised in the palace of the king of Chu, and that good time, the beautiful Chu Li and Chu Huan.
Maybe it's because of leaving Yanwang Palace, but recently her mood has gradually calmed down a lot, and when she thinks of the past, it's no longer that heart-rending pain, and she can calmly recall the past.
Wei Nong went downstairs, thinking about what to buy for Xiangrui, but she heard the shopkeeper calling her downstairs: "Girl, did you sleep peacefully last night?" ”
"Thanks to you." Wei Nong walked to the first floor and exchanged a few polite words with the shopkeeper before asking: "Do you know where in Fallen Leaf City can strike iron for horseshoe?" And saddle whips or something, where are they sold? ”
"There is a horse farm in the north of the city, and it has everything." The shopkeeper smiled and pointed the way.
Wei Nong had breakfast in the inn and went straight away. Because of the lack of legs, she felt uncomfortable even riding a horse, and walked very slowly. She had just walked two blocks when she suddenly heard someone calling her "Night Girl" behind her.
I don't want to know it, it's the son surnamed Qi.
Wei Nong always felt that this person was very strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange, and he was afraid that he would spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so he decided to keep a little distance and no longer continue to have a deep relationship. She pretended not to hear Qi Gongzi's call, and deliberately turned over her horse, intending to gallop away from the other party. However, no sooner had the reins been lifted than the horse's head was grabbed.
Wei Nong was very surprised, just now she listened to the voice, and felt that the son surnamed Qi was still far behind her, how could he have already arrived in front of her?
The partial-born Qi Gongzi was still very blind, and looked up and greeted her with a smile: "It's really dangerous, if I take a step slowly, you will get on the horse and go." ”
You're really fast! Wei Nong said secretly in his heart, so he had to turn over and dismount, and asked with a smile: "What a coincidence!" Where is Qi Gongzi going? ”
She had already made up her mind in her heart, no matter where the other party said to go, she would go in the opposite direction and go around the horse farm again.
It's a pity that Qi Gongzi smiled back: "Oh, I'm going to buy a horse at the horse farm in the north of the city." What about the Night Maiden? ”
Wei Nong was speechless.
The two had to go to the racecourse together, and they couldn't lift their spirits along the way, but Qi Gongzi seemed to be in high spirits, and he didn't look like he was moody last night. When he arrived at the horse farm, Wei Nong excused himself to pick up the saddle and pulled Xiangrui away. Qi Gongzi went to the stable to pick horses, and the two of them were busy with their own work.
About an hour later, Wei Nong had already equipped the mount with a new saddle, laid the horse iron, and was fully equipped before returning to the stable to find Qi Gongzi. As a result, she saw him from a distance flipping through a book, looking very serious.
Wei Nong had already guessed that he was pretending to be illiterate, so he casually beckoned a guy and asked, "What is Gongzi Qi looking at?" ”
The little guy knew that the two of them came together, so he didn't hide it, scratched his head and smiled: "Qi Gongzi is looking at the birth date of each horse......
"Look at the horse's figure-of-eight?" It's the first time We've heard of such a thing.
The little guy smiled: "I won't tell you, it's the first time I've met the little one." Fortunately, every horse in our horse farm, from birth to death, or sale, is all registered. That Qi Gongzi said that he wanted to pick a horse on his birthday, and our boss had no choice but to move out the brochure and let him read it slowly. ”
Wei Nong only felt ridiculous, and couldn't help but ridicule: "You guys are also messing around with him?" ”
The little guy shrugged his shoulders: "As soon as Gongzi Qi made a move, he bought ten horses, and each one had the best saddle." ”
Wei Nong was used to his "extravagant spending", so he didn't ask any more questions, but only instructed the little guy: "Don't tell him what we said just now...... I'll go somewhere else. ”
