Volume 3 Rain Chaos Jinghua Thatched Cottage Old Man

The place of Changying Lege is not large, but the location is wonderful, it is located in the hinterland of the northern barbarians, and there are many pastures.

However, for ordinary people, this grassland is not something they can occupy, the grassland here is either occupied by dignitaries and nobles, or it is encircled as private land by some princes and nobles, and even the princess who is the lord is only a small place less than a hundred miles.

And in this grassland of less than 100 miles sits a small courtyard that looks inconspicuous, different from those wool felt houses, the courtyard in front of you is more like the huts built by the poor people of the Central Plains with thatch, or called grass houses.

The hut is surrounded by pastures, the sound of cattle and sheep comes and goes, the small courtyard is not big, there are only three grass houses, there are wells in the courtyard, there are small pavilions, if you come here at leisure, it is also a good place to relax.

However, outside the courtyard at this time, there are standing full of Northern barbarian soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding scimitars, if you look carefully, you will find that these people are the personal soldiers of Lord Lege, which means that it is the lord of Eagle Leg who is in the thatched house at this moment.

In the thatched hut in the courtyard, an old man over half a hundred years old was in tatters, sitting on a chair with his chest exposed, his eyes were blurred, his face was flushed, and the smell of alcohol in the room was easily reminiscent of the word drunkard.

The old man pulled the wine jug with one hand, and held the roast leg of lamb sent by the lord with the other. ”

The old man in front of him was happy, but the middle-aged man sitting next to him suffered, the man sat quietly on the chair, looking at the old man's gaze without the slightest wave, in the face of the old man's words, there was not much response, just a smile on the cheek of the flesh without smiling the head of the head.

The old man is a drunkard, since he bailed the old man out of Beiban Prison, he let him live here, but after so many years, the old man is either drinking or on the way to drink every day, and he doesn't even give him face.

Even though he strictly ordered the old man not to touch the wine several times, but in the end it had little effect, and today, he came again.

"Mr. Shen, this wine has been drunk and the meat has been eaten about the same, shouldn't we talk about our affairs?" Gong Yi Wang said quietly, his eyes fixed on Shen Qian.

I don't know if Shen Qian really didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it, and didn't respond to the question of the public's loss of hope at all, and even burped after drinking.

Gong Yiwang got up and came to the door to ventilate with a disgusted face, he couldn't stand the smell of alcohol in the room for a long time, and he was not surprised by Shen Qian's attitude, after all, this was not the first time he had met Shen Qian.

Shen Qian was still drinking to himself, touched the flesh stains on the corner of his mouth, looked at Gong Qian and smiled, Gong Yi was helpless, knowing that Shen Qian was not going to sober up today, and it was pointless for him to stay like this, so he turned to look at Shen Qian.

"Mr. Shen, I will come again, Da Feng abandoned you, but I didn't, the Khanate didn't, I hope you can think about what I said, what crime we will be guilty of as soon as possible, it will be good for you and me, maybe as soon as the Great Khan is happy, he will lift your ban."

After finishing speaking, Gong Lost Hope left Shen Qian's grass house with his subordinates.

After Gong Yi left, Shen Qian, who was still drunk a second ago, suddenly changed his expression, and the whole person straightened up, put down the wine jug in his hand like a nobody, and frowned.

The number of times this public loss hope comes to himself is becoming more and more frequent, this public loss hope is not a fool, he will not be able to see it if he is so stupid, maybe he still retains illusions about himself, and he still treats himself with courtesy, if he really provokes the public loss hope, then it is estimated that this lord will not be as polite as today.

But can you really agree to the conditions of the public losing hope? If you agree, won't you become a sinner for the ages......

……

Asked all the way, when Ning Xiaochuan and his entourage found Shen Qiancaolu, it was already autumn, and the tigress after the autumn had not yet turned cool.

The group stood on the edge of the meadow and looked at the small thatched yard in front of them, and smiled lightly.

Shen Qian, as a personal disciple of Yuan Daoli, followed Yuan Daoli to many places, and even developed a habit of never forgetting, and even Shen Qian's handwriting can be found in "The Book of Mountains and Rivers".

However, Mr. Yi's whereabouts are unknown since he came to Beiban, and some people in Dafeng are rumored that Shen Qian was worshiped as a guest by the Great Khan of Beiban, and he has endless glory and wealth.

Some people also say that Shen Qian offended the Northern Barbarian magnates and died in a foreign land, and some people say that it was because of his lack of ability that he did not draw the map of the Northern Barbarians he wanted, and he was afraid of being blamed by the world and did not dare to come back.

In either case, it's no surprise that this once glorious genius is being belittled.

And today Ning Xiaochuan is going to meet this Shen Qian to see what kind of person he is.

Ning Xiaochuan got up and dismounted, led Xiaobai to the grassland, Pei Yu on the road kept looking around, and then quietly left the team, he had already understood Pei Yu's farewell without saying goodbye, so he didn't care.

If this kind of grass house is placed in Dafeng, it is estimated that it is not Jieyunzhao who lives there, and Yi Zitui, a sword immortal and spear immortal, is the kind of hermit master with good strength, but this is not the case in Beiban.

For the Beiban rivers and lakes, they also respect their hands, but they are not as ubiquitous as Dafeng.

Almost all of the masters of the Northern Barbarians are concentrated in the Elder Gate, and the thirteen elders of the Elder Gate are the thirteen top masters of the Northern Barbarian Rivers and Lakes, not all of the Northern Barbarian martial artists have the opportunity to enter the Elder Gate, and the selection of the Elder Gate is also extremely strict.

The government has great respect for the elders and the masters among the elders, but it is not the case for those outside the elder gate, for the Beiban rivers and lakes, the Beiban royal court adopts a high-pressure situation, which is somewhat similar to Gao Zhen's attitude towards the Central Plains martial arts before.

In front of the iron horse, the so-called rivers and lakes are not worth mentioning at all, and it is indeed a headache for the rivers and lakes to be banned by force, but if the rivers and lakes are trampled to the bones and crush the backbone, then the rivers and lakes will be lifeless and lifeless.

Coming to the grass house, Ning Xiaochuan politely arched his hand and said loudly, "The junior Ning Xiaochuan of the Central Plains asks to see Mr. Shen Qian. ”

At the first time, no one cared about it, Ning Xiaochuan did not give up, raised his voice and shouted, "Senior Ning Xiaochuan, ask to see Mr. Shen Qian, I hope Mr. can deign to see him." ”

Still no one responded, Nie Hongyi next to him said unhappily with his arms around his chest, "Childe, this Mr. Shen is too rude, the guests have all arrived at the door, and if you can't see it, you can give a sound." ”

"We didn't tell Mr. in advance, maybe he wasn't at home, and if he wasn't, it would be really unfortunate." Ning Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, a sloppy old man walked out of the thatched hut, still holding half a jar of wine in his hand, Ning Xiaochuan looked at it, and quickly raised his hand and said, "Sir, you are out, junior Ning Xiaochuan, I have seen Mr. ......."

Shen Qian, who was full of alcohol, glanced at everyone in front of him, especially after seeing what they were wearing, and said in a deep voice, "Central Plains people? ”

"Exactly ......"

After affirming the identity of Ning Xiaochuan and his party, Shen Qian waved his hand with a complicated expression and said, "Come in." ”

"Mr. Xie." Ning Xiaochuan bowed and took Nie Hongyi and the others into Shen Qian's cottage.

The courtyard is very small, the grass house is quite bright, with simple furniture and some clothes, and it is not a hard life, but it is the smell of wine in the house that makes Ning Xiaochuan can't help frowning, is this Shen Qian's predecessor also a good drinker?

Shen Qian sat on the chair in the grass house, chewing the peanuts in his hand, and looked at Ning Xiaochuan and them, "Say, what is the matter with the old man, if there is no big deal, hurry up, don't delay the old man to drink." ”

Another old man with a strange temper.

"The name of the gentleman was heard by the younger generations when they were enshrined, and it is a privilege to see it today."

Ning Xiaochuan first said the opening remarks respectfully, but seeing that Shen Qianli ignored him, he knew that this set of mundane rituals was not attractive to Shen Qian.

So Ning Xiaochuan saved the latter words and said directly, "I heard that Mr. has a lot of research on mountains, rivers and geographical trends, and I came here today, not for anything else, just to explore the mountains and rivers, and I hope that Mr. can give some advice." ”

"Huh?"

Sure enough, after stopping the rivers and mountains, Shen Qian's face changed, but it was not on the good side, only to see Shen Qian snort coldly, "I thought who were you, it turned out that Gong Lost Wang was sent to inquire about the news, in order to pry my mouth open, Gong Lost Wang really did everything, and even used the means of pretending to be the common people of Dafeng." ”

After that, Shen Qian slapped the table very angrily, and then shouted angrily, "Hmph, you go back and tell Gong Wang, if you want to know, it's still that sentence, when I'm in a good mood, I'll tell him, don't play these little tricks, I Shen Qian can't look down on it." ”

Ning Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained, "No, no, sir, I think you have misunderstood, we are really the people of Dafeng, not the people of the Northern Barbarians, and I don't know what you mean by this, we are really just asking you some questions, we promise to leave after asking, and we will never stay soon." ”

"I'm still stubborn, okay, you can ask, I won't say a word about Dafeng." Shen Qian roared angrily.

"What Dafeng, you, you really misunderstood us, we came to ask about the place where the Northern Barbarians are, not the land of Dafeng." Ning Xiaochuan explained helplessly, but from Shen Qian's words, Ning Xiaochuan and they could at least be sure of one thing, that is, Shen Qian's presence here was by no means voluntary, and it must have something to do with public loss.

"The Land of the Northern Barbarians?"

The corners of Shen Qian's mouth twitched, the words he had originally thought of were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word, and finally smiled helplessly, "You guys...... Hey, I'm old, I'm too sensitive, and when I hear someone ask about the place, I subconsciously think of the public loss, young man, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. ”

"It's okay sir, dare to ask sir if there is anything unspeakable? If it is convenient, you can inform the younger generation, this is far away in the Northern Barbarians, you and I are both Dafeng people, and the younger generation will never shirk if they can help. Ning Xiaochuan arched his hand.

Shen Qian smiled and shook his head, I can't help you if you want to help me, unless you are looking for someone from the Yelu family, but this is even more impossible, how can you, an ordinary Dafeng people, know the Northern Barbarian royal family.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, you can say it, where do you want to find it......" Shen Qian put down the wine jug, showing a rare serious look.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled softly, wrote sixteen big characters on the table with water.

After reading these words, Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, and then pondered for a long time, "You guys...... Who the hell is it? Why should you look for this place? ”
