Chapter Seventy-One: Shopping

As soon as he entered the city, Ye Qiu asked Xia Ling excitedly: "Senior sister, senior sister, tell me quickly, what is the brand in your hand, why are those guards so scared when they see it." ”

Xia Ling smiled and said: "What is this, let alone those guards, even if the officials of the Tang State see it, they must have some scruples." ”

When Ye Qiu heard Xia Ling say this, he became even more curious in his heart, and asked, "Senior sister, tell me quickly, how can you have such a treasure." ”

Xia Ling said triumphantly: "It was given to me by a friend of mine." ”

"A friend sent it. Ye Qiu looked at Xia Ling enviously and said, "Senior Sister's friend must be a particularly powerful person, Senior Sister, who are you!" Ye Qiu had never heard Xia Ling talk about his life experience, and at this time he couldn't help but want to ask for clarity, when he asked Xia Ling before, Xia Ling always refused to say clearly.

Xia Ling said: "Senior sister, what is there to say. Xia Ling replied with a disregard for this, and then walked briskly, throwing Ye Qiu away for a long distance, Ye Qiu hurriedly caught up, he saw that Xia Ling didn't seem to want to answer his question, so it was not easy to ask any more, although Xia Ling said that he had a lively personality, he usually smiled at himself and rarely lost his temper, but Xia Ling also had a temper, and his temper was not small, just don't provoke her, Ye Qiu had seen Xia Ling lose his temper.

Ye Qiu had been trying to ask about the brand since he entered the city just now, and he forgot for a while that he had come to Yongning City, until more and more people passed by him, and occasionally a pedestrian would accidentally bump into his arm, Ye Qiu came back to his senses, where did Ye Qiu see so many people in the city, that is, the tea city where he used to live would not have so many people on the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, Ye Qiu looked left and right excitedly at this time, and followed Xia Ling.

Both sides of the road are very lively, there are all kinds of shops, what braised meat shops, fruit shops, and furniture stores, etc., what surprised Ye Qiu the most was the three-story restaurant, there were luxurious carriages stopping at the door of the restaurant, and there were several hotel waiters at the door to entertain Yingcheng, very busy. At this time, Ye Qiu was holding a Hu cake in his hand, eating as he walked, he had already forgotten the escape from Yunwu Ridge in his heart, he said happily to Xia Ling: "Senior sister, it's really lively here, there are so many delicious foods, I have never seen such a fun place since I was a child, no wonder everyone wants to come to Yongning City to see it." ”

Xia Ling led the way in front and said, "This is the place where the most snacks in Yongning City are concentrated, junior brother, come over quickly, this is delicious." Xia Ling happily ran to the roadside stall, there were two big wooden barrels in front of the stall, and there was a lady standing there shouting, Xia Ling said happily: "Bring me two bowls." ”

The eldest lady took out two large porcelain bowls and scooped two bowls full of juice in the bucket, the juice was pale black, Ye Qiu held the bowl in her hand, only felt that her hands were cold and cold, and the surface of the soup was still bubbling with mist, Ye Qiu asked in surprise: "Senior sister, what is this." ”

Xia Ling was already drinking it deliciously, and he was still smashing it in his mouth, looking very enjoyable, and said: "This is plum juice, it is very delicious, you can taste it quickly, it is best to drink it if it is cool." ”

As soon as Ye Qiu heard Xia Ling say this, he quickly picked up the bowl and tasted it, it was really cold and sweet, Ye Qiu had never drunk such a sour and sweet juice, Ye Qiu drank it all, only to feel that his heart was cold and very happy, Ye Qiu couldn't help but praise and said: "It's so delicious, I used to think that the water brewed by Huashen Medicine was already the best in the world, but I didn't expect there to be such a delicious thing under this mountain." ”

Xia Ling listened to it and said happily: "It's just that you haven't drunk it before, and the first time you drink it, you think it's so delicious." ”

Ye Qiu liked it very much, and asked for a bowl of plum juice to drink, only then did he feel comfortable all over his body, Xia Ling took Ye Qiu to taste fish soup, osmanthus duck, fried rabbit meat, these things Ye Qiu had never eaten in the tea city before, especially the rabbit meat, in the tea city, there were wild rabbits running all over the fields, but no one liked to eat roast rabbit meat, because the earthy smell was too strong, but I didn't expect that the taste of rabbit meat made in this Yongning City was not fishy at all, and it tasted not much worse than beef.

Xia Ling took Ye Qiu to wander around the wide streets of Yongning City, Ye Qiu suddenly felt that Xia Ling was too familiar with this Yongning City, what was the name of each street, what was delicious, where was there anything fun, Xia Ling could always say it quickly.

The two of them were strolling around in a daze, and suddenly there were many official officers on the side of the road, constantly chasing pedestrians, and in the distance they could see a group of soldiers nervously heading towards different city gates, this Yongning City has a total of eight city gates, each city wall has two city gates, Xia Ling said to Ye Qiu: "Look at this scene, even the Praetorian Guards have been mobilized, the Praetorian Guards are usually only responsible for protecting the safety of the palace, maybe there is a big war outside Yongning City." ”

Ye Qiu said anxiously: "Senior sister, fighting is not a trivial matter, it is useless for us to stay here, I think, otherwise we should leave here quickly." ”

Xia Ling said: "No, we can't leave yet, we have to meet someone." ”

Ye Qiu looked at Xia Ling strangely and said, "See someone, who is it? Is there any senior sister's relatives in this Yongning City who want to visit?"

Xia Ling said: "He is also a relative of mine, no, maybe he is more important than my relative, in fact, to be honest, I don't even know who my parents are, when I was a child, it was that person who adopted me, and he is my benefactor." ”

Ye Qiu looked at Xia Ling in surprise, Xia Ling was handsome and spoke with temperament, Ye Qiu Ke always thought that Xia Ling was from a beautiful background, Ye Qiu said, "Senior sister, what you said is true?"

Xia Ling nodded and said solemnly, "What I said is the truth, didn't you just want to ask me why the disciples of Cloud Mist Ridge wanted to arrest me?" Actually, before I came to Yunwuling, I would have a thousand miles of sound transmission spells, and this thousand miles of sound transmission spells were taught to me by that person, well, so, in these days in Cloud Ridge, I have been quietly contacting him, and the last time I contacted him, somehow, I was discovered by the master, so they wanted to ask clearly, I was really a little scared, I don't know what is going on here, I just thought, let's run first. After Xia Ling finished speaking, a trace of worry appeared on his face.

Ye Qiu said: "It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Senior Sister You said that you can't tell what happened, well, then to put it this way, as long as you see Senior Sister's benefactor, maybe things will be understood." ”

Xia Ling said: "That's it, but I always feel that it's nothing, in the words I have said to him for thousands of miles over the years, they are all ordinary things in Yunwuling, and I have always felt that he seems to be very interested in the things of Yunwuling." I don't think there's any secret hidden here. ”

Ye Qiu said: "Senior sister, this heart of defense is indispensable, besides, Yunwuling is not an ordinary place, you told outsiders what happened in Yunwuling, what if there is any conspiracy here? ”

Xia Ling shook his head, frowned and said, "Senior brother, he is not such a person. ”

Ye Qiu saw that Xia Ling was a little unhappy, and was afraid that his words would be serious, so he hurriedly said, "Senior sister, I just guessed casually, don't worry about it." ”
