Chapter 255: The Road Is Uneven (The Third Change)
"What's the matter, can the foolish brother help?" asked Wang Zai suspiciously.
Meng Qi smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I recently studied some ancient books and found a lot of unfamiliar place names, I want to figure out where I am today, Brother Wang, you know that I, as a casual cultivator, have closed news on weekdays, and it is rare for the Bai family of the Mi family to owe favors, how can I not make good use of it?"
"I don't know what place names they are?" Wang Zai didn't ask Meng Qi why he suddenly looked through ancient books, generally speaking, looking for ancient place names often means ruins or secret collections, and it is easy to break the relationship when exploring the root cause, and it is natural to say it.
Ninety percent of the ten out of ten efforts will not get any gains, and the years have changed, and the vicissitudes of life, except for some iconic places, the ancient landforms have long been completely different from today.
"Wuzhi Mountain, Sanssouci Valley, Xinghui Lake......" Meng Qi snapped and said the name of the place, mixing Sanssouci Valley into it, so as not to be peeked out of the real purpose.
In order to find the Sanssouci Valley that is related to the mystery of Zhenwu, he did look through the relevant ancient books and memorized a large number of ancient place names, but because the ancient books that can be obtained normally are relatively common, he failed to find the clues of Sanssouci Valley.
"Five Finger Mountain...... Haven't heard of ...... Sanssouci Valley seems to be a secret place of ancient times, and it is unknown where it is...... Xinghui Lake is near Lulong in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and is now called Yingyue Lake...... "Wang Zai thinks and speaks."
Sanssouci Valley is really in the Overworld...... Meng Qi originally asked casually, with another purpose, but he never thought that he would accidentally get conclusive news.
He believed that Wang Zai, who cultivated "Haoran Righteousness", would not deliberately lie, at most because of the family rules, he could not elaborate.
After Wang Zai recalled them one by one, he said apologetically: "Brother Fool is not very interested in ancient things, and he only occasionally flipped through a few ancient books, so let's ask Zijing again." ”
Mi Zijing was instructing the clansmen and guards to interrogate the members of the Sword Dance separately, and suddenly saw Meng Qi going and returning, and said in surprise: "Su Shaoxia." Could it be that there is a clue?"
Meng Qi smiled brightly, and his teeth were white: "Master Mi, didn't you say that the Bai family and the Mi family owe me a favor?"
"Huh?" Mi Zijing didn't want to deny it, but was dumbfounded, the human affection was unspoken, and he asked for it directly, is it too cheeky?
Meng Qi smiled and said: "Mi Gongzi, I have always been frank, what do you have to say." Whatever you want, you will open your mouth to ask for anything, and you will not be hypocritical, hypocritical and modest. ”
Although he was obviously joking, Mi Zijing still broke out in a cold sweat at the end of his hearing, and the "crazy knife" Su Meng really didn't do ordinary things: "I don't know what kind of reward Su Shaoxia wants?"
Meng Qi repeated what he had just said to Wang Zai, and Mi Zijing breathed a sigh of relief, still within the scope of his own decision, so he instructed the housekeeper to watch the interrogation, and took Meng Qi to the "World School Building".
Meng Qi waited for a while in a nearby pavilion. Mi Zijing asked the elder of the building, and came back to inform him of the relevant information, which was more detailed than Wang Zai's, and there were answers to several place names that Wang Zai didn't know before. But there is still a lack of parts, including Sanssouci Valley.
"Is there any other place where you can find these place names?" Meng Qi frowned deliberately.
Seeing that the information was incomplete, Mizi felt quite sorry and said sincerely: "The Bai family has a long heritage. There are more ancient books than my family, but the rules are very strict, and you can't enter them rashly. Let's mention it for you first, and there should be a search result for you in two days. ”
Meng Qi "groaned" for a while, and half-pleaded: "Mi Gongzi, thank you for your kindness, I don't know if you have any friendship with the six gates of Yingcheng, I heard that they have a lot of ancient books there?"
The six doors do not completely represent the imperial power, but also mixed with sand by the family, and it is not uncommon for the real power figures in it to come from top families, and the Mi family is still a relative, and the imperial power is inextricably linked, and there is no problem in making friends with the six doors of Yingcheng.
Mi Zijing thought for a while and said: "The money and silver medals of the county government and Shu Qingshou are still sold for a few thin noodles in our family, since Su Shaoxia wants to borrow ancient books, I will take you over here." ”
Wang Zai had other things to do, but he didn't follow, and Meng Qi and Mi Zijing quickly walked through the streets and alleys and arrived at the county seat of Yingcheng with six gates.
It was almost dusk, and the person on duty was Shu Changxiao Shu Qingshou in Mi Zijing's mouth, and after hearing the request, seeing that it was not something that needed attention, he waved his pen and asked Meng Qi to enter the ancient book room to find it, while Mi Zijing was worried about the assassin, so he left in advance and hurriedly returned home.
In the ancient book room filled with the fragrance of books and a faint smell of staleness, Meng Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know whether the "mythical" people had set their sights on him, so he didn't dare to rashly go to the secret contact point to submit a secret report and poke the "mythical" thing, but under the pretext of the place name, he went to the Guòmi family and came to the door openly.
Now that he is in the county government that has been suppressed by the exterior silver medal, he is finally not worried about being spied on.
He picked up a pen and paper, found a corner, wrote a secret report, said that the "myth" hated Dongyang Beppu, and planned to take revenge on himself, and then, he thought about it, and wrote the news of the "wolf king" on it, and asked the six doors to help find people, and he was probably still in Yingcheng.
After writing, he took out the official seal of the green ribbon hidden in his arms, left his "traces" at the end, and folded the secret report into a tofu block, a small side, and placed it on the inside of the belt.
After doing this qiē, he slowly flipped through the ancient books.
Before he knew it, two hours passed, and Meng Qi could not find the details of Sanssouci Valley, and could only confirm that it was in the main world, and that it had been stored in ancient times.
Out of the ancient book room, he went to the signing room to say goodbye and thank Shu Changxiao.
After sending Meng Qi away, Shu Changxiao looked back and found that there was an extra neatly folded letter on the table.
............
The sky is dark, but the bustling streets of Yingcheng are lit up like day, and there are fireworks from time to time, which are gorgeous and colorful, showing the flavor of the New Year.
There are still a lot of pedestrians on the street, some choose New Year's goods, some hurry home, some look at the lanterns and guess riddles, some throw pots to have fun, especially the streets close to the Tianxiu River, it is more lively than the day.
After submitting the secret report, Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worried that the "myth" would come to the door, and the pace of returning to Xingyunzhuang slowed down slightly, admiring the lanterns on both sides of the street, sticking blessings and hanging couplets, buying strings of sugar gourds from time to time, and buying some candy snacks.
"This painting is good...... Meng Qi saw someone setting up a stall to sell paintings, surrounded by a group of people, old and young, and women and servants with children.
He was just about to pass when a large crowd of people suddenly rushed in, cutting off the left and right, and he had to wait first.
In this group, a woman was holding a little boy of three or four years old, and she had a little difficulty walking, so she put him down, intending to hold him for a while.
The little boy saw that there was a candy seller nearby, and he tried his best to get milk, and he cried and made trouble.
Suddenly, he broke free of his mother's right hand, stumbled two steps, and stood blankly in place, watching the strange flow of people around him, and crying in fright.
His mother, curious and amused, was about to go over and take him, when two beggars passed in front of her and blocked her view.
Suddenly a beggar with sarcoma on the left side of his face popped up next to the boy, picked him up, covered his mouth, and ran to the end of the street, just as the boy's mother saw this.
She chased two steps, was knocked to the ground by the crowd, and cried bitterly:
"Help!
Meng Qi didn't expect that there would be abduction under his nose, and since he didn't involve himself, Lingjue didn't react and couldn't make a move in time.
Looking at this woman's lack of martial arts, this is a normal human trafficking......
I have long heard that the beggars are mixed, and most of the members are abducted, deceived and stolen, and they have always been unbelieving, but now I understand that they have been deceived by novels before......
The two beggars who blocked the woman's view were carrying sacks, and Meng Qi recognized that they were beggar disciples dressed up, but at present, they were mixed in with the flow of people and were difficult to find, but the flower child holding the child was vaguely visible.
He has a chivalrous heart and spreads out his body, like a swimming fish, shuttling through the crowd, often miraculously flashing in the middle of the situation.
That person named Huazi could compare to Meng Qi's physical strength, and when he reached the end of the street, he was about to be caught.
Suddenly, several beggars rushed out of the street next to him, causing the crowd to become chaotic and surging around, just blocking Meng Qi.
He gritted his teeth, jumped up, stepped on the top of the pedestrians' heads, and chased after them like a volley of water, and many people's heads were lightly touched by him, and they were unconscious, thinking that there were birds passing by.
At this time, Hanako, who was already carrying the child, rushed into an uninhabited yard.
Meng Qi did not relax his vigilance, lest someone set a trap to sneak attack, and when he followed in, there was no trace of Huazi.
He had encountered many similar situations, and after a little search, he found the entrance to the tunnel, and when he came out, it was also an abandoned house, and there was a group of beggars in the opposite yard, and the street was relatively secluded and deep.
Meng Qi identified the traces and walked straight over.
"This friend, this place is a beggar to help Yingcheng divide the rudder, what do you want to do?" A beggar stopped in front of Meng Qi, about forty, white and tender, with more patches on his clothes, but clean and fresh.
He carried six sacks on his back and seemed to be the helmsman.
"The beggar who was holding the child just now escaped here?" Meng Qi took a light breath and asked politely first.
The beggar said with a cold face: "No, you are in the wrong place!"
"But he came out of here. Meng Qi's eyes narrowed.
The six bags of beggars sneered: "Anyway, I didn't see it, I don't know how many beggars in the world, how can they all be from our beggars?"
"I saw it. "Meng Qi cut the railway.
The six bags of beggars snorted: "Friend, are you trying to use strong words? Do you want to provoke our beggars for the sake of unwarranted things and inexplicable children?"
"Don't you look down on us Huazi because you look at your bright clothes?
He was faintly threatening.
Meng Qi suddenly smiled, the corners of his mouth hooked, and his snow-white teeth were revealed: "This matter ......"
With a bang, the long knife was unsheathed.
"I'm in charge. (To be continued......)
