Chapter 26: Truth and Lies
"That Dack just now, after so many years, I didn't expect to see him again. Fauber said as he drove the carriage.
"Fauber, do you know that Dark, I heard Nalan Xingtian say that he is such a fierce and hateful person, but he seems to be very afraid of you. Qin Youyou opened the curtain to reveal his face and said with a smile.
"He's not that scary, I met him when I was younger, and he's a cute little guy. Fauber said with a smile.
"Oh, so you know each other. Qin Youyou reacted.
"The first time I saw Duck was in the Forest of Silence, he was very young, probably less than twenty years old, and his hand holding the knife was trembling. Fauber replied.
Qin Youyou thought back to Dack's fierce appearance, showed a thoughtful expression, and said: "Is Nadak a robber? Is he here to rob Fu Bo? Finally, I was taught a lesson by you, and let him know how powerful you are, and now I will be afraid when I see you." ”
When Fauber heard this answer, he was stunned, and then he sighed softly: "That's right, Fauber was a small mercenary transporting goods at the time, and Duck was a small robber at that time, he and many of his accomplices came to rob us, and then we fought hard, so they lost a lot of manpower, and they retreated, so Duck was afraid when he saw me." ”
"Sure enough, I guessed right. Qin Youyou had a smug look on his face that had guessed the answer to the riddle: "Fu Bo should have been a very powerful character in the mercenary group back then, but Fu Bo never wanted to say it, I want to ask what was the name of Fu Bo's mercenary group back then?"
"Name?" Fu Bo turned his head to look at Qin Youyou, his dark green pupils a little confused.
"Yes, the powerful mercenary swordsman, the majestic mercenary group, shouldn't there be a resounding name?" Qin Youyou reiterated again.
"There are a lot of things that are not as simple as they seem. Fu Bo looked at Qin Youyou with some doting, "I watched you be born, I hugged you on the first day, I watched you grow up, and watched you grow beautiful flowers day by day, just like the most beautiful wisteria rose." A lot of times, I look at you as if you're my own daughter, you know?"
"I know that Fauber is good to me, and Fauber is by my side and protects me all the time. A warm current flowed through Qin Youyou's heart.
"There are a lot of people, you can't simply distinguish between good and bad, Duck was once a simple young man, you are still young, don't let the appearance blind your eyes, look at people with your heart, you know, my miss. Fauber's tone was a little serious.
"I see, Fauber. Qin Youyou nodded, then she remembered the question she had just asked, and continued to ask, "But you haven't answered my question just now." ”
Fu Bo smiled helplessly and said in a low voice: "The mercenary group I used to stay in is called Gray Fox. ”
"Gray Fox Mercenary Group, this name is very ordinary. Qin Youyou repeated the name.
"yes, a very common name. Fauber sighed under his breath, as if he was feeling something.
Qin Youyou paused for a moment, and then asked, "In the past few days, you have also seen that Nalan Xingtian, what do you think of him?"
"A young man with great potential, from humble birth and amazing talent, taught himself "The Basics of War Qi" and ignited the war spirit overnight. Fauber replied with a deep groan.
"Yes, I was shocked when I saw his warlike spirit. Qin Youyou said.
"He is a good elemental warrior seedling, and he is also young, and if he has a good chance, his achievements can reach a high height. Fauber thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.
"I only know that he is talented, and I don't know how good he is. Qin Youyou was a little surprised: "I didn't expect Fu Bo to have such a high opinion of him." ”
Fauber smiled and stopped talking.
............
Nalan Xingtian took the money bag given by Qin Youyou and returned to his nest.
At this time, it was still early, and it was not yet dusk, and the little tiger Yilulet and they were still collecting bamboo outside the city to prepare for tomorrow's bamboo basket materials.
Nalan Xingtian had nothing to do, and began to tidy up the messy room, build a fire, and prepare for the arrival of the cold night.
Nalan Xingtian suddenly thought of the money bag that Qin Youyou gave him, and with some curiosity, he opened the money bag.
The money bag was a little heavy, and he opened the tether of the bag, turned it upside down, and poured out the coins in the money bag.
One after another, shiny silver coins rolled out, and there was a sound in the collision with each other, and Nalan Xingtian counted carefully: "One, two, three...... A baker's dozen...... Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty silver coins. ”
Thirty silver coins, a large amount he had never seen before, enough for an ordinary family to live in Loulan for a whole year, enough for him to rent a small shop.
Nalan Xingtian picked up the silver coins and put them into the money bag one by one, and had a little measurement in his heart.
He felt more and more that the money bag in his hand was heavy, and the money was only a temporary loan, and it had to be repaid after all.
At this time, the door of the hut was opened, and the three of Ilulette and Little Tiger were seen returning, carrying sections of bamboo that had been cut down and tied up neatly.
The three of them entered the house, put down the bamboo on their backs, Yilu carried a pocket in his hand, and he said loudly: "Boss, today I bought shortbread for dinner." ”
"Okay, Iro. Nalan Xingtian smiled and said, "But now, I have something to tell you. ”
"What's the matter, Boss. "I've walked over.
Wright, Xiaohu heard that Nalan Xingtian had something to say, and he also gathered around.
"Before I say that, I'm going to show you this. Nalan Xingtian shook off the money bag and let the silver coins roll out one by one, clanging.
All thirty silver coins fell out, rolling down and colliding with each other, pushing and pushing together.
"It's ...... Silver?" Wright felt himself dazzled by the silver glow.
"So many ......?" Xiaohu was startled.
"Boss, where did you get these silver coins?" Yilu looked at the silver coins, although he was happy, but vaguely uneasy.
"Here's the thing......" Nalan Xingtian looked at the three of them's reactions, and then began to explain slowly and carefully.
......
"You mean, you know a friend, and the money is a temporary loan?" said Iru.
"Yes. The money borrowed temporarily must be repaid. Nalan Xingtian replied affirmatively.
"Boss, you're saying that she gave you the last time you brought home that good basket of food?" asked Wright.
"Yes, if it hadn't been for her that night, we would have all starved that night. Nalan Xingtian replied.
"Then the two copies of "The Foundation of War Qi" and "The Foundation of Swordsmanship" were also given by her?" asked Xiaohu.
"Yes, she also sent it, it is really a great favor to us, her name is Qin Youyou, she is a noble girl. Nalan Xingtian replied.
"It's still a woman, you mean it's called Qin Youyou, how does this name feel familiar. Xiaohu touched his head and made memories and thoughts.
"Do you know each other?" asked Nalan Xingtian.
"Qin Youyou... Qin Youyou" Xiaohu recalled for a while before he suddenly said: "I remember, she is the daughter of Duke Qin Batian General Qin. ”
