Wujiang clothes stained with blood, inevitably attracting attention, borrowed a red shirt from the general's mansion, and when he returned to the inn, Xiaoci was lying on the dresser by the door with his arms on his pillow, as if he was asleep.

learned to wait for others at such a young age, it should have been the age when my mother sang nursery rhymes and my father fell asleep telling stories.

With a bandage around her waist, Wujiang squatted down to hug her, trying to avoid straining her waist, and she woke up as soon as she put her hands on her shoulders, her eyes were black and shining.

"Have you eaten?" Boundless asked.

She nodded.

But the money was on the dresser, and nothing was touched.

"I'm a little hungry, help me go and ask Xiao Er to bring some food." Wujiang put her down, smiling pleadingly.

She landed on her feet and immediately looked bright: "I'll go right away, what do you want to eat?" ”

"You decide, I'll change my clothes first."

When Xiao Ci came back from downstairs, Wujiang had already fallen asleep on the bed with her clothes, Xiao Ci helped her pull the quilt, and said in a low voice: "I haven't changed my clothes, obviously I just want me to eat." ”

The meal that Xiao Er had just delivered was hot and fragrant, what a happy thing it was to have a full meal in the cold winter, she climbed on the stool, the stool was a little high, and her feet were hanging in the air.

It's two people who don't know each other, and it seems that they never asked who she was or where she came from, but none of this matters. In the past, when I was hanging around in the restaurant teahouse, I often heard the adults say that there is a feast in the world, she didn't understand, and after a long time, she saw a lot of scenes where people said this, and she knew that this meant parting. This is a sentence that sounds very beautiful, but sad things adults often like to use beautiful words, but the parting she experienced was not beautiful, the plague-infected village was burned to ashes by a fire, and the partners who escaped together did not bear the hunger, heat and winter. Parting, here for her, is the separation of life and death.

After eating, she took out the beggar clothes she wore before, folded them neatly and put them on the stool next to the bed, opened a window crack, and looked at the streets that were still lively in Xixuan, and the corners of the streets where the eaves of the sheltered eaves slept.

She closes the window, takes off her clothes, and gently climbs into bed, and tomorrow everything will be back to square one.

However, this winter seems to be a little warmer than before.

This night she slept very soundly, did not wake up suddenly by the wild cats and wild dogs foraging for food in the middle of the night, did not sleep all night because of the cold wind howling and unbearable cold, soft bed, warm bedding, as if the fire had not started, as if the village was still there, the smoke curled, and the mother stood at the door and smiled gently.

……

When I woke up, the winter sun shone in shallowly.

Wujiang stood in front of the window, blue clothes and headband, the sun shone on her eyes slightly, heard the movement behind her, and turned around: "Awake?" ”

Xiao Ci got up and found that the beggar's clothes that had been placed on the stool before going to bed last night were gone, replaced by a new green garment, a new green color, as if it was about to break through the ground.

"I went to the tailor shop in the morning." Wujiang noticed her gaze, "The original clothes were too old, so I threw them away for you when I went out in the morning." ”

Xiao Ci sat on the bed for a while, as if everything was a little different from what she thought.

A moment later, a crystal clear and delicate little girl was reflected in the bronze mirror, with a vibrant green lining the pair of clever eyes, which was particularly beautiful, containing the innocence peculiar to children of that age, and the wrewdness that did not match the age after the innocence.

"Let's go to Fufeng Tower for breakfast first." Speaking of Fufeng, the wind outside the window just picked up and blew into the house, blowing the cyan headband on Wujiang's head and a few strands of broken hair scattered from his sideburns. She is dressed in simple men's clothes and has a very capable appearance.

Fufeng Lou is the largest teahouse in Xixuan, with the best tea, the most wonderful storyteller, ushered in the send-off, three teachings and nine streams, is a place where news is intensive.

They chose a window position on the second floor, and through the crowd, they could hear the gongs and drums on the stage, and they talked about the heroic posture of General Yanwu jumping out of the high wall that day, and they listened to the blood and excitement.

Boundless sat quietly, the fragrant tea entrance, the noise and whispers in the teahouse were collected one by one, and then filtered one by one to obtain the news she wanted to hear the most.

"There are so many things in our western Xinjiang, the king of the west was assassinated before, and now there is such a major event that shakes the whole country, the king of the west is angry, and the criminal prison department is dispatched to investigate the matter, and now the whole country is up and down, and all prefectures and counties are rectifying."

"Did the assassin catch him, didn't he say that he fled into the snowy mountains and disappeared?"

"That's definitely dead, who can escape the avalanche, a whole army in the North Continent was destroyed by the avalanche in the past."

"No, no, no, the killer's body has been found."

"When did it happen? Reliable or not? ”

"My cousin is on an errand in the palace, and the news that just came out last night can't be wrong, but he was washed by the heavy snow, and he couldn't find any clues on his body, and there was no proof of his death."

Wujiang listened to them one by one, discerning the reliability of these words, if it was really as the person told and found the body, it might be because he was too worried, everything on his body was just a coincidence, if it was false news released by the imperial court, then what was it for......

Hide people's eyes? Protecting the dignity of the royal court? Or is there another purpose?

But no matter what, one thing is almost certain that they didn't see the killer's face, and they didn't find a favorable clue to find the killer, which means that whether she is a killer or not, she is safe at the moment.

The discussion from all sides has not stopped.

"Who did you say would have sent it, the king of the west has no heirs, if the assassination is successful, then the next beneficiary is very likely to be the murderer, do you think it will be ......?"

"Shhhhhhhhh

The four kingdoms of the world are separated, where does she come from?

As he was thinking, a very discordant footsteps suddenly mixed in the discussion, and he walked up the stairs to the second floor, approaching the boundless position.

"Young master, this position is occupied today." One humanity.

The man known as the young master had a brocade belt around his waist, a gold crown on his head, and a silk satin, his eyelids were slanted, and his nose was angry: "Do you want me to say this?" ”

"Yes, yes." The man bowed his head and bowed his waist to meet the waist while straightening up and walking towards this side, "Master's position, don't get out of here!" ”

Xiaoci is usually used to begging, and there is still the fear of being expelled, and when the person drank it, he unconsciously wanted to stand up, and at the moment when he wanted to stand up, a sentence came gently and softly on the other side: "Don't worry, eat slowly." A heart that made her inexplicably uneasy fell instantly.

"What to eat, don't you give up your place to your lord soon." The man yelled and shouted, and was about to lift the stool, but he couldn't lift it until he saw a pair of black boots next to him stepping on the edge of the stool.

"Okay, I even stumbled over the master!" Saying that, he came with a fist.

Wujiang slammed a palm to the table, chopsticks flew out of the bamboo tube, she took a look, holding two chopsticks against the knuckles of his fist, the person opened his fingers in pain, Wujiang took advantage of the chopsticks to clamp his palm, and gently twisted outward, the person's whole hand seemed to be subjected to great force, the whole arm twisted out uncontrollably, facing the fist of another wave, hitting each other in pairs, the joints were misaligned, and the two of them fell back with a "whoop" and fell to the ground. At the same time, with a turn of the five fingers, two chopsticks flew out of the fingertips together, shooting straight away like arrows from the string, and the entire noisy lobby was instantly silent and as silent as death.

The two entourages who fell to the ground looked behind them along the surrounding eyes, and saw that the young master was wearing a cloak at the moment, his face was bloodless, his lips were purple, and his legs were shaking like a sieve, and the golden crown that was originally used to tie his hair passed through the entire hall, and was nailed to the huge beam in the middle of the stage by two chopsticks, which was shining with golden light, very dazzling, but everyone was extremely frightened.

The two chopsticks that nailed the golden crown were half deep into the pillar!

If it goes a little further, it will penetrate the skull, leaving two shocking blood holes!

The young master finally couldn't stand it anymore, and a miserable cry of "ah" came out, and before he fell, he was held up by two attendants, and the three of them climbed down the stairs and out of the teahouse.

It wasn't until the three people completely disappeared that the people in the teahouse began to talk in a low voice. Immediately afterwards, the little two who greeted them just now hurriedly ran over, with a worried face: "Guest officer, you have offended people, the young master just now is the only son of Li Shilang of the Criminal Department, and he has always been used to it, if you let him get off the stage like this, he will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and it is estimated that he will come to you again, you better leave quickly, otherwise he will bring someone over, you will not be able to get benefits, in case he is arrested in the Criminal Department, it will really be called every day and the earth will not work." ”

Wujiang put down the teacup: "Then if I leave now, he can't find anyone when he comes back, will it bring trouble to Fufeng Tower?" ”

The shopkeeper threw the towel cloth on his shoulder, quite proud: "You don't have to worry about this, our Fufeng Building has a history of hundreds of years, what kind of unreasonable dignitaries have not seen, the three words of this Fufeng Building are still mentioned by the King of the West today, and Li Shilang of the Criminal Department also has to give some face, you still have to think about yourself, he will definitely not give up, he may find out where you live, but be careful." ”

She nodded, "Thank you." ”

Passing by the stage, the shopkeeper pulled out his chopsticks and took off the golden crown, and he paused for a moment.

The shopkeeper said: "We will send someone to send this golden crown to Li Shilang's mansion." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

Walking out of the teahouse, the streets of Xixuan were bustling with people coming and going, Xiaoci asked, "Where are we going next?" ”

Wujiang scratched his head and said, "I think we're going to change the inn." ”

Xiaoci: "Are you worried that he will come to the door?" ”

Wujiang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, it's because we don't have money, and that inn is about to be unable to live." ”

This is the end of excessive profligacy and unbridled spending......
