Murong Xuewei pursed her lips, looking neither humble nor arrogant.

"How dare you not believe it, Sister Su Wan was beaten by you for a long time."

Qin Yu felt that his face was gloomy, he didn't expect that even Su Wan would tell Murong Xuewei about this black history.

Cui Xin and Hong Yu, who were outside the carriage, suddenly blushed slightly, covered their mouths and snickered.

"Lord Wang, it's getting late, there's a small town ahead, let's invest there."

Cui Xin asked, but couldn't hide her smile.

Qin Yu lifted the curtain and raised his hand to give Cui Xin a brain meltdown.

"How many times have you said that you are not allowed to call me the prince when you go out, you must call me the prince."

Cui Xin covered her head in pain, her face full of resentment.

The town is located on the bank of the Huaishui River, which is also close to the south of the Yangtze River.

It stands to reason that the small towns in the Huaishui area rely on the canal and have developed water transportation, so they should be quite wealthy.

However, when Qin Yu and his party entered the town, they found that the streets and alleys were full of beggars.

The business of many shops is also very bleak, and the shopkeeper is sitting with those beggars, which is very pitiful.

As soon as the carriage reached the entrance of the town, it was surrounded by a group of begging children, who followed them until they reached an inn.

Qin Yu looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help frowning.

How did he think that these people did not look like real beggars, but disaster victims.

But this Central Plains has been peaceful for a long time, how could so many victims emerge at once?

Just when he was puzzled, Murong Xuewei suddenly untied the bag he was carrying and wanted to distribute the dry food.

Qin Yu hurriedly stopped her and pulled her into the inn with some anxiety.

"Childe, what are you doing here? We brought a lot of dry food with us, and it was nothing to give some to the beggars! ”

Murong Xuewei's face was full of incomprehension, and there was even some complaint in her words.

As soon as Qin Yu was about to explain, the red feather next to him approached with a vigilant face.

"These people should be disaster victims, if we show our wealth in front of them, or take out some dry food, these people will come and loot!"

Murong Xuewei suddenly felt a chill in her back, and subconsciously looked out of the door.

There are thousands of beggars wandering the streets, to say the least, and no matter how good their skills are, they can't stop so many people from rushing up.

With a slight surging of her throat, Murong Xuewei subconsciously leaned towards Qin Yu's side.

"How many guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

The shopkeeper greeted him with a smiling face, but behind him there were more than a dozen strong men.

These people rushed straight to the door, staring at the beggars on the street.

Qin Yu took out two ingots of gold from his body and placed them over.

"Let's have a table of first-class wine and food, and then open two upper rooms."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the gold.

"Oh, uncle, please upstairs."

Qin Yu was not polite, and went straight to the elegant seat on the second floor, and as soon as he sat down, he beckoned Xiao Er to him.

"I think this town is close to Huaishui, it should be a rich place, why are there so many beggars on this street?"

"Could it be that there is a disaster somewhere?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then came to him.

"A few of them are guests from out of town, and they probably don't know our local situation."

"A few days ago, several dams in the middle of the river burst and flooded downstream, turning a hundred miles around the river into a flood."

"You can see people fleeing everywhere these days!"

Qin Yu nodded, and then asked Hong Yu to bring the map he carried with him and spread it out on the table.

"Judging by the situation, the flood this time is extremely serious, flooding dozens of counties downstream!"

Murong Xuewei's eyes were a little more surprised.

"Childe, depending on what you mean, it seems that you want to manage the flooding of this big river?"

The corners of Qin Yu's mouth outlined a smile.

"That's nature, after all, this big river will also be my country in the future, if I don't care about it, can I let it flood?"

As he was talking, the shopkeeper had already brought a table of exquisite dishes, but the main ingredients of these dishes were all fish.

"Guest officer, there is really nothing good in this year of calamity, only fish, you will eat it!"

Qin Yu didn't care so much, so he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

"Oops, carp three eats! What a good dish! ”

A rough voice suddenly sounded, and a sound shadow flashed in through the window.

Red Feather and Cui Xin immediately stood up as if they were facing a great enemy, their eyes full of vigilance.

But at this stall, an old beggar had already sat opposite Qin Yu, grabbed a fish and chewed it.

"What people! Licentious! ”

Cui Xin let out a sigh, and a short knife had already appeared in her hand.

Qin Yu waved his hand.

"Why are you so nervous? The old-timers just came here to eat a fish, and they didn't want our lives! ”

The old beggar laughed, picked up a jar of wine, and poured it down.

"You young man is quite polite, and I like the old beggar very much."

Qin Yu performed a Jianghu etiquette very respectfully.

"The old-timers' martial arts are unfathomable, and the light skills just now are enough to be proud of the world."

"I don't know the old man's name?"

The old beggar laughed, and then waved his hand.

"The name is a code name, and besides, the old man is already a flower child, what's the use of asking for a name? Can you drink two or two wines? ”

Qin Yu still laughed along, and then pushed the only roast chicken on the table.

The beggar was not polite, grabbed the fat chicken and took a hard bite.

"You're a funny young man!"

"The old man has rubbed so many meals, you are the most active one, with personality!"

"Speaking of which, this map of yours is good, can you give it to me called Hanako?"

Hong Yu was suddenly unhappy: "Don't be too presumptuous, you old fellow, the wine and meat have already been eaten for you, and you still want a map." ”

Qin Yu raised his hand and interrupted Red Feather.

"What the old-timers want to take is that there are many juniors who have such a map."

The old beggar laughed twice and unceremoniously put the map away.

"You're still a little guy!"

So saying, the old beggar took out a wooden token from his body and placed it on the table.

"The old man won't take your things in vain, three days later, you take this token to the west bank of Huaishui, and the old man is there."

"When the time comes, not only will I return you the map, but I will also be able to fulfill your three wishes."

Qin Yu didn't say anything, and politely hugged his fists in return.

The old beggar ate and drank to his heart's content, and did not linger too long, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

Murong Xuewei was already shocked there.

"I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect to see such a powerful old-timer here!"

Red Feather was full of disgust.

"What old-timers want me to see, it's just an old beggar who cheats on food and drink."

Qin Yu waved his hand: "People can't look good, this senior is extraordinary." ”
