Chapter 65: Life and Death Unknown

The voice entered the ear, and there was already an extra jade-inlaid folding fan on the table.

Xiao Huang put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw the guy who refused to move even if the innkeeper wore out his mouth, and suddenly sat opposite her with a questioning face.

"The legal silver will be engraved with the seal of the government."

Glancing at him lightly, Xiao Huang picked up the burden beside him and got up to leave......

“…… Juncheng?! Ouch, brother, don't think about it, the city was closed one night ago, and you are only allowed to enter and not let you out, let alone the caravan, even if you lead a horse in, you won't bring you any leftovers! ”

Listening to the sound, several big men in dart master uniforms entered the inn in the dust, and the shopkeeper quickly nodded when he saw this, and greeted him with two jars of wine.

"Lockdown? So serious?! Brother, don't be kidding, our horse team depends on this to eat. The leader lifted the lid of the altar and poured wine into the bowl with a frown.

"Brother, who still has the leisure to laugh with you now, our caravan passed through Juncheng yesterday, and we went around most of the circle and climbed over from the side of the mountain road on the side of the ridge peak."

Hearing this, the person next to him nodded immediately, and said as if he had palpitations: "Kunzi is right, there has been a flood in Juncheng for so long, if the caravan in the past encounters that group of barbarians, can it still be good?" I'm afraid I can even chew the bones for you to swallow. ”

"Isn't it? The imperial court has already sent someone to send relief food, and I saw it on the road before, that battle...... Tsk, that's enough. The tall man in the middle took a sip of the wine bowl, and the action of drinking water like a cow was inexplicably like giving himself courage.

"Alas, there are more monks and less porridge, where is enough, besides, the official in charge sent by the imperial court ......"

Kunzi lengthened his voice, and then he leaned in and whispered a little, and shook his head with a look of obscurity as he stepped away.

"Dead?! Ay...... Brother, you can't talk nonsense. ”

Several people were shocked when they heard this, arranging the officials of the current dynasty is a taboo, and the slightest carelessness will cause trouble.

Under the eyes of his brother with different colors, Kunzi couldn't help but be extremely speechless.

He hurriedly said: "Ouch, how dare I, this is all from the mouths of the villagers around the city, and it has been spread all over the river, saying that when the sluice gate was closed that day, the river embankment collapsed, and in an instant, the torrent gushed out, and I happened to meet an unlucky person standing on the stone dam......"

Speaking of this, Kunzi slapped his thigh and said with emotion: "Alas, that son-in-law named Xi Shuangjie is really a good life, and that big official has not even ...... bones in order to save him."

"What's his name?!"

Suddenly, a voice interjected, although the voice was not annoying, and even looked unusually pleasing in these five big and three thick voices, but it couldn't help but make the person who poured beans turn his head with an annoyed face.

"Who are you...... Yes? ”

In the next second, Kunzi just let out a small flame of breath, and it died down in an instant, and he looked at the thin, weak and thin young man in front of him who seemed to be unable to withstand his punch, and something called fear rose strangely in his heart.

The young man's dark complexion made his original eyebrows a little blurred, but those eyes full of coldness were staring at him fiercely at the moment, making his palms sweat like a big man.

"What's the name of the guy you just mentioned?"

"Huh? Which...... Which one? ”

Seeing Kunzi staring at the other party stupidly, the person next to him couldn't help but poke him with his elbow, and then showed a smile that he thought was extremely kind.

"The little prince is asking the big official sent by the court to deliver food, ouch, how can we rough people know the names of those officials."

Although this person is dressed simply and has a mediocre appearance, his cold temperament and extraordinary gestures cannot be hidden.

They have traveled north and south for so many years, if they don't even have this bit of eyesight, they have simply lived most of their lives in vain.

"Really? Then it seems that you know that talking about the court officials, spreading rumors and entertaining the world is enough for you to eat in prison for a few years? Xiao Huang was even more cold.

The sudden erect hairs on his back made Kunzi excited, he reacted, and hurriedly said kindly: "This son, our brothers are just idle, just chat a few words, there is absolutely no disrespect to the court, we really don't know the name of that big official, he doesn't often appear in front of people, and the food and porridge are all done by that Xi Gongzi." ”

Just kidding, the people don't fight with the officials, it's a truth that fools know, not to mention that what they often pass through is the official road. Jobs, life-saving, no matter which one they are for, they don't dare to offend those official hats.

Xiao Huang obviously understood this, so she didn't make it difficult, but her expression was still grim, "Then what does he look like?" ”

"Look?" Kunzi grinned, "That big official has only gone out to inspect the river dam a few times, and no one can see what he looks like from afar." ”

When the words fell, he slammed again, and hurriedly said: "By the way, I heard that the big official is always wearing a fiery red clothes, but I don't seem to have a red rank official uniform, little boy, you want to ...... Hey......"

…… This man is a strange man.

Seeing Xiao Huang disappear outside the inn like the wind, Kunzi couldn't help but secretly speak, and forced him to speak, and now he hasn't finished speaking, and the person has run away again!

——————————

"Second master, Nanling has been contacted, when will we leave?"

“…… You say, what does he mean? ”

Chu Tianqi withdrew his gaze from the distant figure, and involuntarily pondered the words "legal silver will be engraved with the seal of the government" in his mind.

Seeing this, a boy about three feet long slowly walked out from behind the screen window, and under the staggered light and shadow, his palm-sized foot stopped next to Xiao Huang's previous seat.

He stood in front of Chu Tianqi with his head bowed, the table blocked the thin body, if he didn't get closer to look, I'm afraid no one would notice his existence.

"He's saying that the ingot of silver is not the second master's, otherwise it's dirty silver."

The boy glanced at the shopkeeper who was running around the hall serving tea and pouring water, and his eyes were like maggots, and between his delicate eyebrows and eyes, there was no childishness at all.

Sensing his gaze, Chu Tianqi chuckled, and then he sat up straight and bullied a few points closer, staring at the boy's expression like a puppet that had not changed for thousands of years, "Monk Man, I know that you are so disgusting, why does the master still keep you?" ”

The latter just lowered his eyes when he heard this, and said meticulously: "Because the slave has not been able to disgust the second master's ability." ”

"It's secondary." Chu Tianqi shook his head, lifted his chin with the handle of the fan, and his evil lips were full of coldness, "Lord likes to hear the truth, especially ...... The truth with the tip of the knife. ”

The monk seemed to be accustomed to such oppressive actions, and he said calmly: "Second master, when will we go back?" ”

"There's no hurry." Glancing at the boring face in front of him, Chu Tian leaned back on the windowsill with great interest, "Did he ask you to urge me?" ”

The strength at the jaw was suddenly withdrawn, and the monk bowed his head again, and said in a decent manner: "The waterlogging in Juncheng has blocked the waterway from Nanling to Beiqi, affecting some of the surrounding fisheries, and the pavilion master hopes that the second master can go back to deal with this matter as soon as possible." ”

"Oh? Juncheng ......"

Hearing this name again, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but squint, the person who didn't want to deal with him seemed to have a particularly interesting reaction when he heard the word "Juncheng".

That place...... He probably hasn't been there yet.
