The good horses that the Shen family prepared for him were beyond expectations.

The horses are white and flawless.

When he saw this white horse, Zhao Que, who was dressed in white, asked, "Where did you get this horse?"

"Back to Mr. Zhao, this horse was sold by a horse dealer from afar last year, and I saw that this horse was strange, so I paid for it and bought it. Shen Changle said.

Zhao Que smiled and asked, "How much did you spend to buy it?"

"It seems like there are a hundred gold. ”

"100 gold, it's worth it, it's worth it. Zhao Que commented.

Shen Changjing, who was sent off with an injury, asked, "Could it be that Mr. Zhao knows what the name of this horse is?"

"You don't know?" Zhao Que asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shen Changle and Shen Changjing both shook their heads.

After this white horse was bought, it was fed in the stable of the Shen family, the two traveled, rarely rode a horse, and spent such a large price to buy a white horse, and the rest of the Shen family was not qualified to ride it, so they let it eat and drink in the stable for a whole year, until Zhao Que arrived, Shen Changle could give it to him logically.

Zhao Que wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said: "It's better not to let you know, save the value of this horse, and be reluctant to give it to me." ”

"How come?!Mr. Zhao said with a smile!" Shen Changle laughed.

He was extremely curious.

During this time, I asked Yu Kangcheng a number of Bole, and they didn't know where this horse came from.

Shen Changle Quan regarded it as a slightly magical white horse.

After looking at the red thin horse a few more times, Zhao Que grabbed the reins of the white horse, leaned over slightly, and touched a few handfuls of the white horse's mane.

The white horse seemed to be sane, and turned his head to look at him.

Zhao Que said: "Melting snow, melting snow, Zhao uses you, can you agree?"

The white horse snorted a few times, kicked the ground with his front hooves a few times, and seemed to agree.

Shen Changle secretly kept the word melting snow in his heart, and waited for Zhao Que to leave Yukang City, so that he could ask Bole in the lower city if there was a good horse called melting snow.

Dry food, clean and good clothes, the Shen family's servants tied it firmly to the horse's body.

He had nothing else to say to Shen Changle, and the future development of the world would depend on Shen Changle's own ability.

Shen Changle looked at Zhao Que who was dressed in white and white horses, hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Zhao, from Yukang City to Meitang Prefecture, thousands of miles away, I hope Mr. Zhao can have a smooth journey and be safe every step!"

Zhao Que replied: "The people of Yu Kangcheng will ask the Shen family to take proper care." ”

Shen Changjing was supported by the maid Xiaoxiang, and next to Shen Changle's woman Xu Qiaolan stood together, and several people saluted to say goodbye to Zhao Que.

Xu Qiaolan got up this morning, and her right eyelid kept jumping.

I don't know why I jumped.

Could it be that Mr. Zhao's departure was a great disaster for her?

However, she didn't know Mr. Zhao at all, how could Mr. Zhao's departure from Yu Kangcheng be a disaster for her?!

"Xiaoxiang, send the things I prepared to Mr. Zhao quickly!" Xu Qiaolan said softly.

Shen Changjing waved his hand, signaling that even if Xiaoxiang didn't support him, he would be fine.

Xiao Xiang shouted boldly: "Mr. Zhao, leave slowly." ”

Zhao Que didn't take a few steps, grabbed the reins, and looked back at the maid who was holding her thigh yesterday.

At that time, she saw that she had no intention of killing Shen Changjing, and hugged her thigh to beg for mercy for Shen Changjing.

Zhao Que looked at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Xiang ran a few steps and handed over the sachet that Xu Qiaolan had made overnight to Zhao Que.

Zhao Que was puzzled.

Xu Qiaolan looked pious and said gently: "Mr. Zhao, the concubine heard that you are going to travel a long way, in order to give Mr. Zhao a little heart on behalf of the master, the concubine made this sachet with her own hands, I hope Mr. Zhao has a safe journey!"

Zhao Que accepted the sachet and hugged his fists to thank him.

After that, he went out of the city without stopping.

After he left.

Shen Changjing, who was supported by Xiao Xiang, smiled on her face: "Xiao Xiang, choose a good day, you will be my concubine." ”

"Ahh

Shen Changjing smiled and asked, "Mo Fei, you don't want to?!"

"I'm willing! I'm willing! Being able to become the master's concubine is a blessing that Xiaoxiang cultivated in her previous life!"

Shen Changle on the side heard this, and said: "I agreed to this family business, in the past, Xiaoxiang took care of the second brother meticulously, at this time, it is time to give Xiaoxiang a serious name." ”

Xiao Xiang suddenly couldn't help herself with excitement, full of tears, and knelt down for Shen Changjing.

Shen Changjing hurriedly endured the injury, dragged Xiaoxiang's arm, and lifted her up, even if she was injured, Shen Changjing's strength was not something that a weak woman could resist.

Xiao Xiang, who was dragged into Shen Changjing's arms, leaned her face against his chest and cried silently.

It is true that the Shen family has been fighting for too long, although it is only less than three years, but the water in the Shen family's mansion is too deep and too deep, and there are not a few maids who have the same mind as her......

It's just that......

As long as she doesn't die, her future is not as simple as Shen Changjing's maid, and it will definitely impress Shen Changjing.

However, becoming Shen Changjing's concubine was something that Xiaoxiang never expected.

How dare you think about it.

The second master of the Shen family, who is like the emperor of Yukang City, accepts his own maid as a concubine, which is unreasonable.

Xu Qiaolan hid the jealousy in her eyes deeply.

Put on a joke.

Said

"Congratulations to Uncle, Xiaoxiang is exquisite, and she is a considerate person, she has become Uncle's concubine, and she will definitely be able to take care of Uncle Less. ”

Shen Changle couldn't help but smile sideways, and when he turned his head, he was already calm: "Don't inform Yu Kangcheng's other characters about this matter, just make a good day, and our own people will be lively." ”

Shen Changjing said, "Listen to the eldest brother." ”

"Well, go back with Xiaoxiang, you must have a lot of things to say to Xiaoxiang in your stomach, and your sister-in-law and I should not be blinded by the lights. Shen Changle said.

Shen Changjing lowered his head, and the words sounded in Xiaoxiang's ears: "Such a happy thing, crying so much, hurry up and carry me back to the room to rest, I do have a lot of words, I want to tell you." ”

Xiao Xiang wiped her tears, took two steps back, hugged Shen Changjing with tears in her eyes, and slowly walked to the backyard.

She should have said a few more words, but she couldn't cry, and her heart was overturning, how could she say it.

Shen Changle waved away the nearby servants, and only he and his wife Xu Qiaolan were left in the courtyard here.

Xu Qiaolan gave a tender salute: "Master, let's go back to the room too?"

Shen Changle stared at her face that looked like warm jade and spring flowers, and suddenly couldn't bear it.

Secretly asked himself, do you want Xu Qiaolan to break herself off and leave a clean name?

"What's the matter, sir?"

Xu Qiaolan's right eyelid jumped more and more.

Moreover, her mind was very irritable, as if something big was about to happen.

Shen Changle sighed faintly and asked, "Madam, how do I treat you?"

Xu Qiaolan was stunned in place for a moment.

I don't know what's going on, just like this, her mind suddenly returned to the past.

She smiled skillfully: "The master treats his concubine very well, there are so many beautiful ladies in Yu Kangcheng, I don't know how envious I am!"

Shen Changle opened his mouth, what he wanted to say, he tried several times, but he didn't say it.

Xu Qiaolan sighed softly, the corners of her eyes were moist, how could she not guess what would happen to her next as a smart woman.

"Sir...... Just say, don't make yourself unhappy. ”

Shen Changle sighed: "The Shen family has great ambitions, in the future, I will eradicate the hidden dangers up and down." ”

"Including me?" Xu Qiaolan asked softly.

Shen Changle bowed: "Including you." ”

"I don't understand. Xu Qiaolan looked at Shen Changle obsessively, and there was infinite warmth in her eyes.

Shen Changle said directly: "Second brother did such a thing...... Actually, I arranged it. ”

Xu Qiaolan's fair and translucent face was completely pale and pale, and her eyes were gloomy: "Master...... Sir, sir, I'm ...... The concubine is wrong. ”

"If you can stick to your heart, I will share half of the authority of the Shen family with you, I know your mind outside my lord, inside your lord, and I know your mind, it is more than enough to take care of a family as big as the Shen family, alas, it's a pity, it's a pity that you didn't hold back your desires, and I am extremely disappointed in you. ”

Xiaoxiang is scheming, compared with Xu Qiaolan, she still can't get on the stage, Xu Qiaolan's previous methods, Shen Changle has seen it, conspiracy and conspiracy are mixed together, and the matter is handled safely and steadily, and there will be no slightest storm afterwards.

"Sir...... Is there still a chance for the concubine to atone for her sins?" asked Xu Qiaolan tremblingly.

Shen Changle has thought about this question many times, and every time he thinks about it, Xu Qiaolan is a certain death.

He shook his head and couldn't bear to say: "Originally, I asked Lao Wu to arrange it, but I have been married for many years, as the saying goes, you can cross the same boat for a hundred years, and sleep together for a thousand years. ”

"Yes, the master will definitely not Shen Changjing be contaminated with a little notoriety, when it reaches the market, it must be that I don't abide by women's morals, red apricots go out of the wall, and Shen Changjing was killed by me when he was not conscious......" Xu Qiaolan laughed miserably.

Shen Changle nodded: "That's basically the case." ”

"The concubine understands, and later, the concubine does not need to be reminded by the master, and will go to the afterlife first to wait. Xu Qiaolan said.

"Well, after you go to the afterlife, I will deal with your aftermath in a beautiful manner, and order the literati in the city to portray you as a woman who abides by women's morals, respects me like a guest, and is knowledgeable, so as to pass it on to future generations. Shen Changle said.

Xu Qiaolan walked to her bedroom in despair, and replied without looking back: "Thank you, master, for the last bit of husband and wife love, by the way, what about your four greedy maids?"

"They have their own ending. ”

"Well, one of the things that the concubine regrets the most is that she never added a big fat boy to the Shen family. ”

"Madame don't have to blame herself, this matter is not urgent. Shen Changle said with a gloomy expression.

He lived to this time, the biggest knot in his heart, and he did not have a son for a long time.

"The master may not know that Shen Changjing seduced the concubine, and the reason why the concubine agreed was not to borrow Shen Changjing to give birth to an heir for the master. ”

"I know. ”

"But the master still let me die!"

"Madam, you've read a lot of books......

"Haha...... Also, if I were you, my wife would be unfaithful, and she would die, but it was a thousand mistakes, and the fault was that the master shouldn't have tested me!!"

Shen Changle shook his head: "As I said just now, if you pass the temptation, the Shen family will have half of you." ”

"Okay! The concubine is going to die! Take care, master!"

“......”

Back to the bedroom.

Xu Qiaolan angrily tore the white cloth and hung it on the beam.

Step on a stool.

Kick off.

Struggle for a while.

No more movement.

Just behind Xu Qiaolan, there was a piece of letter paper on a table.

On the letter was her own handwriting.

I wrote it a few days ago.

Just five words.

Behind the bustle.

......

The white horse in white is out of Yu Kang.

Stars and moons.

A few more towns.

Riding the snowmelted Zhao Que, he came to a big city called Jingshu.

The city walls of Jingshu City are low, but the city is bustling with many people.

There are more than a dozen roads gathered here one after another, and merchants gathered, among them, there are many Hu merchants.

Hu Shang's appearance fell in Zhao Que's eyes, almost making him draw his sword.

So far away from Cisse for so long.

Looking at the people of the Hanshan Dynasty again, the first impression is that they are regarded as enemies.

Zhao Que laughed to himself.

I really want to go back to Cisse in my dreams.

Tomorrow is the end of the Spring Festival.

The people of Jingshu City put on the lights, entered the city, and after a full meal, Zhao Que left the melting snow in the inn and wandered around, looking for the larks waiting in the city.

Jingshu City extends in all directions, for this important place in this state, business is prosperous, people come and go, and there are more than ten martial arts sects set up strongholds in the city to do business, so the spy organizations in Daxia like to set up "heavy troops" in Jingshu City.

Skylarks are no exception.

There are two silver feathers and twenty bronze feathers sitting in Jingshu City.

Zhao Que set off from Nanyangzhou, in front of Meitang Prefecture, the lark in Jingshu City had been waiting for a long time, according to their expectations, Zhao Que should have arrived in Jingshu City four or five days earlier.

However, Zhao Que didn't know where the lark was located in Jingshu City.

Wandering around, swaggering through the market, it just happens to be able to let the lark discover him.

"Guest, are you from out of town?"

A thief-eyed peddler stopped him with a smile and squinting eyes.

Zhao Que nodded: "Yes, I just arrived in Jingshu City." ”

"What do the guests think of our Jingshu City?"

"The smoke and fire everywhere are very thick, the sound of drinking and selling is deafening, I have never seen it before, and as soon as I enter the city, I am dazzled. ”

"Haha...... What the guest said is very much, Jingshu City is the most prosperous big city in Qingchang Prefecture, and even the state city of Guanquan City is inferior by three points, and the guests enter Jingshu City, they will naturally be stunned by the prosperity they see. ”

Zhao Que asked, "But what did you stop me for?"

"Isn't it the first time to see a guest enter Jingshu City, do you want to buy our gadgets?"

"Oh?"

Zhao Que took a look, and on the stall behind the hawker, there were many ceramic figurines, exquisitely made and lifelike, and they were so far away, looking at the expressions on the ceramic figurines, lifelike.

He couldn't help but secretly wonder.

Squatting in front of the stall, taking it and putting it away, it was a pleasure to watch.

The peddler said happily: "These villains were bought by us with great difficulty, and if the guests like it, give less money and take it away." ”

Zhao Que shook his head, and finally put down the ceramic villain in his hand: "Alas, I won't tell you, Zhao really didn't bring much money." ”

"It doesn't matter, buying and selling is not in benevolence, when the guest has money, and then come to buy it, the small one, where to go here, the guest can find it if he looks for it a little. ”

"Good. Zhao Que bowed his head.

After turning around.

His face suddenly drooped.

Those ceramic figurines with different expressions are really not simple, just like living people.

And the hawker is even more unusual, the feng shui qi luck in Zhao Que's body has not completely dissipated, and he vaguely feels that the hawker has a faint true qi emanating.

It's really not good.

It seems to be mixed with bloodshots.

In this case, the vivid ceramic villain had to make Zhao Que feel shocked.

Among the many techniques on the left side of the door, it is not that there are no means to extract the three souls and six souls of living people and trap them in utensils, and there are even no less than twenty such methods, although they are varied, but they are similar.

Walk down the street.

The vaudeville wandering artist, with fire spewing out of his mouth, attracted bursts of applause from the onlookers.

People brought their families to the streets to have fun.

After all, tomorrow is the Spring Festival.

After a busy year, it's time to relax for a few days.

The sun is shining.

The shone on Zhao Que's body did not make him feel a little warm, but there was a biting chill.

"Hey, hey, isn't the guest from Jingshu City?"

The strong man seemed to be in the way, blocking in front of Zhao Que.

The man is eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a beard, and a loud voice when he speaks.

Zhao Que bowed: "It's really not a person from Jingshu City. ”

"Okay! That's good! Guests come and take a look at our little monkey! It's fun! Do you want to buy one and take it away? Charge you ten taels of silver, it's not much! It's really not much! Ten taels of silver to buy a little monkey that can turn its heels, how cost-effective!" The strong man dragged Zhao Que to his stall.

Eight little monkeys were trapped by the rope.

All listless.

Seeing Zhao Que approaching, he screamed and jumped in fright.

The strong man scolded: "You monkeys! Lao Tzu is not short of you to eat! Finally, when the guests come, they will not give Lao Tzu face, if you sweep away the interest of the guests, you will not be hungry for a year and a half!"

Zhao Que was just about to speak.

Two other young men tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

Zhao Que didn't feel the murderous aura.

Turn your head to look.

When the two young men saw Zhao Que's appearance, they were overjoyed: "Oh! Cousin! I have finally found you! Didn't we tell you in the letter that we went to Jingtai Street in Jingshu City? Our brothers will be waiting for you at the corner of the street, why did you come to Songdan Street? If you want to play and have a good meal at home, tomorrow our brothers will take you to this street to play! You are not familiar with the place, in case you get lost, how can we explain to your aunt!"

After saying this, he looked calm and his tone was sincere.

The strong man's suspicious gaze wandered on the faces of the two.

Later.

The two pulled Zhao Que away from the strong man's stall.

"Cousin go quickly, this place should not stay for a long time, he is a profiteer, deliberately cheated you out of money, don't look at a little monkey is only ten taels of silver, you bought it, a little careless, the monkey will run away by itself, back into the hands of the profiteer. ”

The doubts in the strong man's heart were all dispelled in the blink of an eye, and he scolded: "How can you two little rabbit cubs talk?! How can there be such a deal that smashes a conscience? If you don't buy it, you won't buy it, what does it mean to say such vicious words? Hurry up! Get out of here! You regret it, and if you come to buy Lao Tzu's monkey again, Lao Tzu won't sell it to you!!"

Zhao Que glanced at the eight monkeys, looked at the strong man, and then smiled at the two young men: "Good brother, didn't people sell me a monkey? Alas, it's also my fault, I entered Jingshu City from a small place, and when I saw such prosperity, I couldn't walk the road, just walk around, I didn't expect you to look for me all over the city!"

"Oh! My cousin! Jingshu City is very big! If it weren't for the special fate between our brothers, we wouldn't have found you! Tell me yourself, if it weren't for our brothers who happened to find you, if you got lost, your aunt would be your own son, how sad it would be! We would have never seen my aunt in our lives!"

Zhao Que apologized sincerely: "Blame me, blame me, I've been in a small place for so many years, I've never seen such a big giant city as Jingshu City, it's not that as soon as I enter the city gate, my brain won't be mine, okay, let's go home quickly, I haven't seen my second aunt for some years, and when I see you, I suddenly want to die!"

"Haha...... Cousin, I'm so glad to see you! My mother has prepared enough good wine and food at home, and we three brothers must be drunk tonight!!"

Zhao Que put one hand around one person's shoulder: "Let's go, I can't wait! The second aunt's craftsmanship is good, when I was a child, I especially liked to eat the food cooked by the second aunt, and later, the second aunt married into Jingshu City, so I ate very little." ”

The strong man who sold monkeys quietly followed the three of them for a while, listened to their conversation, and when the three of them turned the corner and entered the alley, the strong man returned to the side of the eight monkeys.

Without the strong man's tracking, after crossing the alley, the two hurriedly took a few steps back and were about to kneel down for Zhao Que.

Zhao Que hurriedly hugged the two.

"No need. ”

"General, it's too dangerous, listen to the news from Jinlu City, your injuries have worsened, and that strong man is not a person to be messed with, once ......"

Zhao Que smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I have a sense of proportion, I got a chance from Yu Kangcheng, and because of my injury, I can't collect the feng shui luck in my body, so that the small people covet it, but they don't dare to do it directly in broad daylight, after all, I don't know my depth......"

The two looked at each other.

Zhao Que's current martial arts realm, they can all feel it, let alone those people.

I don't understand, how could those people not dare to do it?!

"Go with me to lead the horse first, and you have a good horse, and you can't bear to throw it away in the inn. ”

"Yes!"

Now, when they finally saw the general, their hearts were instantly relieved.

returned to the inn and settled the silver taels.

One led the melting snow, and the other took Zhao Que's package to the stronghold of the lark in Jingshu City.

There are many people on the streets.

The three of them mostly talk about inconsequential things.

"How are everyone?" Zhao Que asked.

A copper feather looked gloomy: "Don't dare to hide it from Mr., a few days ago, a brother was lost in the market." ”

Zhao Que pondered for a while and asked, "Why?"

"It should be that he is regarded as a Jianghu man who came to snatch the treasure knife together. ”

"Treasure Knife?"

"Mr. Hui, thirty miles outside the city of Jingshu last month, due to a heavy rain washed away the hillside, revealing a large tomb, the treasure knife was obtained from the tomb, we temporarily got the news that this knife in the dark night, bright and unbreakable, enough to be called a divine weapon. ”
