Chapter Twenty-Four: The Little Turtle and the Bamboo Slips
Asking Ji Lengling to find a place to live, Wen Hao held a little turtle with a green shell in his hand and came to the city gate alone.
At the gate of Qushui City near dusk, the traffic volume was not as exaggerated as at noon, and only three or three people were left in and out of the city gate.
To Wen Hao's surprise, Qin Han and the others had already arrived, and a large group of people gathered at the door.
Seeing Wen Hao walking out of the city gate, Qin Han and the others immediately greeted him.
"Are you all here?"
"Returning to the son, fortunately not dishonored!" Qin Han lowered his head slightly, not daring to slacken.
"Yes, come with me into town. ”
As soon as the words fell, Huo Feng's voice came from the carriage. I saw Zhao Xiaoqi supporting him and climbing down from the carriage.
Seeing this, Wen Hao could only shake his head and sigh.
"If the injury is serious, rest more, why do you come down?" Wen Hao asked a little stupidly.
Huo Feng was in a hurry: "Young Zhuang Master, I came down to tell you that Murong Jin's mother and daughter have left." ”
"Just go, what are you anxious about?"
Wen Hao was speechless when Huo Feng choked on a word, and thought to himself, could it be that the two of them quarreled? No, Miss Murong was fine when she got into the carriage, why did the two of them turn their faces when they got out of the carriage.
"Miss Murong asked me to hand over this folding fan to you, she said thank you for saving your life, she and her mother are inconvenient to disturb, go first. ”
"I see. ”
Wen Hao took the folding fan and unfolded it to see that there was a cuckoo bird on it.
"The cuckoo cries blood, and the blood reflects the cuckoo. What Wen Hao said, Huo Feng could only have a headache when he heard it, and without waiting for him to ask himself, Wen Hao walked into the city without looking back.
Huo Feng's head was covered with dense black lines, and he hurriedly beckoned Zhao Xiaoqi to help him into the city.
Ji Lengling found a Sihe family and rented a house, and the group settled down first, and then ordered Zhao Xiaoqi to prepare for dinner.
Taking advantage of this free time, Wen Hao picked up the little green shell turtle in his hand and looked carefully at the small words on the turtle shell.
After studying it carefully for a while, I could only shake my head. Seeing him like this, Ji Lengling was about to ask Wen Hao. But before he could speak, Wen Hao had already handed over the little turtle.
"This ...... What kind of text is this?" Ji Lengling still asked a question.
Wen Hao still shook his head.
Huo Feng suddenly became interested, snatched the little turtle in Ji Lengling's hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”
After looking closely, he also lowered his head, indicating that he could not do anything. The font on it is something they have never heard of, don't say they don't know. Even the most well-informed people in the entire Daqi will not recognize these fonts.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
I saw Wen Hao browsing the bamboo slips he bought together in his hand, and suddenly coughed dryly. showed an extremely embarrassed look, and weakly glanced at Ji Lengling.
Ji Lengling was stunned for a while, showing a bitter expression and said, "Won't it?"
"Misstepping. Wen Hao responded embarrassedly.
I took a look at the bamboo slip in Wen Hao's hand, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as the font on the little turtle shell!
Unwilling to accept the result in front of him, Ji Lengling finished reading the entire bamboo slip, and finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. "This guy has been deceiving us in the end! He must have read the contents!"
Huo Feng looked at Ji Lengling with a blank expression.
"Don't worry, I've heard some rumors from the old man of the villa, and these words may not be useless to us. ”
Wen Hao carefully told Ji Lengling and Huo Feng about the rumors he knew.
It turned out that in his early years, he learned from some old people in the mountain villa that the land they lived in was not limited to a large Qi.
Some of the old people in the mountain villa traveled in various strange mountains and mountains when they were young.
He has discovered all kinds of strange things in the world, but there is an old man who has discovered a territory that does not belong to the territory of Daqi!
A territory where people also live and have a ruling power.
It was the extreme north of the Great Qi Territory, behind the snow-capped mountains where the weather was cold and frozen. The old man of the mountain villa crossed the mountains and mountains, crossed the snow mountains that I don't know how many steep snow-capped mountains, and encountered many dangers.
Finally, just when he was about to take it any longer, he saw a picture that made him jaw-dropping. In front of me was a much more open land.
After that, the old man was rescued by the locals. After his injuries were healed, the old man who decided to go back to Daqi brought enough dry food, thanked the locals and said goodbye, and then went deep into the snow-capped mountains again.
After all, the snow-capped mountain mountain is extremely dangerous, and the mountain villa was also involved in the matter at that time, and there was no spare energy to research.
"So, it's very likely that these fonts are not within the territory of Great Qi?"
"Maybe it's the font of the territory behind the snow mountain, but I don't know where I got this bamboo slip, let Zhao Xiaoqi find it later, be sure to catch it and ask questions!"
"After dinner, rest early, and tomorrow I will go to the street and ask where the blacksmith is, and it's time to prepare some guys." Wen Hao unfolded the folding fan given by Murong Jin in his hand and said lightly.
Ji Lengling looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. It really made Huo Feng unbearable, and said, "Lao Ji, if you have anything to say, you can say it!"
"Don't call me Lao Ji!
"Oh, they're all so familiar, they can't see anything!" Huo Feng looked calm.
"Then don't call Lao Ji again! If you say this again, you will be stabbed in the future, don't expect me to carry you around again!" Ji Lengling said indignantly.
"Okay, okay, Lao Ling, my name is Lao Ling, right? If you have anything you want to say just now, you can say it?"
"Hmph......" hesitated for a while, and said with a frown: "Young owner, in fact, our entanglement is no longer enough." When I left the capital, I just wanted to return to the barracks, and I didn't have to worry about things when the time came. Now we will not be able to reach the southwest for a while and a half, and the silver in our hands is very limited, and I am afraid that after purchasing weapons, there will not be much surplus. ”
Wen Hao thought about it in his heart, this was indeed a problem, and he really didn't expect so many things to happen at the beginning. and recruited Qin Han and others, and now they spend money as one of them, and I am afraid that the next days will not be easy.
"In this way, weapons must be bought. But silver, we also have to think of a way, when the time comes, ask the major merchants in Qu Shuicheng, and find a den of bandits outside the city. Not only can you see Qin Han's skills, but also solve the urgent need. I believe that with me and Leng Ling, ordinary bandits and bandits are not a problem. ”
"This ...... Is it really possible?"
"That's all there is to it, let's eat first. ”
The three of them all showed helpless looks, and the green shell turtle on the ground was desperately "escaping" after getting rid of the claws of the three people.
――――――――――――――――
Night is gradually spreading in the sky
The whole night sky is like an ink disk, and the dark clouds cover the stars, adding to the fog of the already dark night sky.
Under such a night sky, a carriage galloped on the mountain road to Qushui City.
At the front of the car sat a man with a faint smile on his face, looking very pleasant.
One foot hung out of the car and swayed, a picture of indifference.
He is the uncle Wen Hao has never met.
