Volume II, Chapter 11: The Barracks Gathering

At this party, Uncle Fan mainly wanted to introduce the little guy Qianyu who had just met for a short time, but was very interested in his appetite, to everyone, and saw that everyone was full of wine and food, so he picked his teeth and led everyone to the camp playground.

In addition to the tent on the playground, there are large and small circles sitting around, roasting meat and drinking wine, hundreds of men have drunk to the hearty, lively and not like talking, some are lying on the ground and intoxicated, some are playing drunk and punching and kicking, there are a few people holding their heads together like injured wolves and crying bitterly, and some of the extraordinary combat effectiveness is still strong in guessing the wine and boxing, the man is drunk and drunk, there is everything here, Qianyu looked at it, and felt like returning to the campfire carnival in the village, slightly lost his mind and recalled.

The men sitting in the circle in the middle of the playground have staggered, and a chubby white cat in the circle has its legs straight, staggering like a baby who has just learned to walk, and from time to time it has a few cheers, and when a piece of barbecue is thrown around, it suddenly picks up and disappears with agility.

This gluttonous cat has come here again to cheat and cheat.

Since three years ago, this white cat has followed him, his size has not grown, his appetite has increased greatly, he especially likes to eat barbecue, he usually looks lazy, and wants to command it to do some work, but there is no door, but as long as someone mentions barbecue, he will immediately be alive and vigorous, and he can even lower his posture and pretend to be crazy and stupid to please everyone.

Uncle Fan originally wanted to use the wine to make a bold statement, but he had to give up and talk to these drunks, which was tantamount to nothing.

When he turned around, he saw that there was only one person left by Qian Yu, and Wu Xiunan and the others had already been pulled aside by the half-drunk and half-crazy men to fight for wine.

"Uncle Fan, is that?" There was an iron lump in the corner of the camp, and Qian Yu was puzzled.

"That thing, it's called an armored car, it is said that it is a guy just researched by the Beijing Academy of Military Sciences, and it is currently only equipped in the Central Army, and it was driven by the group of people from the capital in the morning and put it here, saying that it can travel thousands of miles a day, and I don't know if it's true or not, but three years ago, a guy came, and he actually drove a flying iron bump, obediently, and flew into the sky with a whirl, that thing, did it fall off?" After Uncle Fan finished introducing, he waited for Qianyu to ask with a look of hope, but when he saw Qianyu's calm face, he couldn't help but wonder a little.

Qian Yu thought about the flying machine in his space, and thought to himself, if you release it now, will you be shocked? Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh weirdly.

Uncle Fan saw that the old face twitched, and the scars on his cheeks became more and more hideous, so he stopped making a sound and took Qian Yu out of the camp.

Xiaobai's house is not far from the camp, a two-story building with a courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Xiao Bai leading Aunt Jin out of the door, Qian Yu accompanied Aunt Jin back to the inn, and Xiao Bai took Uncle Fan into the courtyard.

The main street of the town is quite quiet, with some old people and children enjoying the shade on the street, and the noisy camp is like two worlds.

Aunt Jin was wearing an elegant light purple dress, with fair skin, which was more mature and more beautiful by the night.

With the intention of drinking, Qian Yu strengthened his courage, glanced at Aunt Jin, and asked:

"Aunt Jin, I heard Jin Shao say, you came to this town from the capital more than ten years ago, it is so remote here, why do you want to come?"

Aunt Jin said "Huh?", looked at Qian Yu sideways, as if she wanted to see something on his face, and then lowered her head and fell into deep thought, Qian Yu didn't dare to interrupt, so she walked quietly with him.

After a while, Aunt Jin shook her head, finally woke up from her memories, and said softly: "More than twenty years ago, there was a martial arts wizard who broke into the famous hall in the rivers and lakes before he was twenty years old, challenging no less than a hundred famous masters, and never defeated. At that time, there were many small countries, disputes were continuous, the rivers and lakes were also turbulent, the common people lived in dire straits, the people were not able to make a living, and from time to time you could see people selling their sons and daughters, just so that the poor children could have something to eat. “

Aunt Jin looked up at the starry sky, and the night was as cold as water. I couldn't help but think of all the miserable things I saw in the world when I was a child, and I felt sorry for myself, sighed secretly, and then smiled like a little girl.

"But ah, this martial arts wizard is really a strange man, somehow, suddenly got out of the rivers and lakes, entered the camp, starting from the lowest level of the front soldiers, whenever he encounters the enemy, always rush ahead, he led the team to repeatedly perform miraculous feats, and finally achieved immortal feats, before and after more than ten years, assisted the founding emperor to conquer the east and west, destroyed many small countries, established the Heavenly Empire, this strange man was finally named the king side by side. It stands to reason that the power should lean towards the government and the opposition and enjoy the glory and wealth of a lifetime, but this strange man, less than thirty, is in the prime of life, but he retreats to the mountains and forests, and disappears without a trace, and the emperor has to give up after many fruitless searches. ”

Qian Yu suddenly asked, "You like her?"

Aunt Jin blushed and said with a smile: "What woman would not like such a strange man back then?" Of course I liked it too, and besides, he hugged me when I was a child." ”

Interrupted abruptly by Qianyu, Aunt Jin didn't like it, as if she was in a good mood after saying the word "like", and continued: "Three years after the establishment of the empire, the emperor wants to establish a new queen and announce it to the world, one day, the side by side king suddenly entered the palace, as if there was a dispute with the emperor in the palace, and the next day when the court meeting, the emperor did not go to the court, I heard that he was sick and bedridden, and the side by side king disappeared again. Many old people who knew each other side by side with the king took the opportunity to enter the palace many times to inquire about the news, but they couldn't find out where he went, which was very strange, and it stands to reason that he had to get together with his old brothers before leaving. It didn't take long for the palace to issue a holy decree, setting up the newborn young son of the concubine of the Nangong Palace as the successor prince, and the major events in the court during the emperor's illness were temporarily reviewed by the new descendants. Since then, the emperor has never attended a court meeting. ”

"The Emperor has passed away?"

"No, no, that's the weird part. All the ministers have visited and searched for famous doctors all over the world, but they can't diagnose what disease the emperor is suffering from and why he can't wake up for a long time. Aunt Jin frowned sideways, as if she was puzzled.

"Many people of the older generation feel that something is wrong and secretly look for them all over the country, but the king side by side seems to have evaporated from the world, and there is not the slightest news. In the first two years, I searched all over the country, but there was no news, when I happened to learn that a remote town was attacked by a beast tide, and the imperial court was organizing a team and calling on the folk masters to go together to resist it, so as to prevent the large-scale beast tide from encroaching on the interior. ”

"This Yunlai Town is the town that was attacked by the first wave of beast tides, the people who lived here died and fled, the town was empty, and the buildings were basically razed to the ground. Later, with the joint efforts of the imperial army and civil organizations, the remnants of the beast were driven back to the mountains west of Yunlai Town. ”

"But the location of this town is very special, there are a lot of giant birds flying in the south every year, they will rest in the mountains for a period of time and then fly north, the beasts in the mountains in the west of the town are said to come from the great wilderness in the west, and they can't be killed, and then the town has attracted a lot of folk masters, who have lived here for a long time, and make a living by hunting beasts. ”

"Our Jin family has been in business for generations, and we are more sensitive, and after learning the news at that time, I immediately felt that this was an opportunity, and after getting the approval of my ancestors, I brought a group of people to this town and rebuilt the town, including the inn and the houses on both sides of the street, all of which are the Jin family's property, and most of them are rented out. The people who came later continued to expand on our foundation, and slowly became the current scale. ”

Qian Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Amazing, really powerful." "I don't know if I'm talking about the side-by-side king, or if I'm talking about Aunt Jin.

Aunt Jin smiled and said, "Of course, I was selfish, I thought at that time, there are many people in the rivers and lakes here, and there are a wide range of sources, maybe I can get the news of the king side by side." ”

"Have you found the side by side king?" As soon as the words came out, Qian Yu knew that he had asked a stupid question.

Sure enough, I only heard Aunt Jin sigh long and stopped talking.

After arriving at the inn and separating from Aunt Jin, Qianyu went straight to the top of the building.

The roof of the building has a wide view, the cool breeze is blowing, Qianyu sits on the edge of the roof, his legs are hanging in the air and swaying, it is very comfortable, he can't help but open his soul eyes, and the stars suddenly light up in front of him, in the mountains in the distance, the light points are dense, but it is a pity that this is a small town, the strong are like forests, and it is inconvenient to use the word "suck".

At this time, the sound of Nangong Bai and his entourage coming from the window at his feet, Qian Yu's heart moved, his toes hooked the edge, and he stopped above the window to listen carefully.

After dinner, Nangong Bai and Jin Shao separated, and returned to the inn accommodation, although the town military camp can also live, but the tents there are messy, and the people are also chaotic, and the heart is disgusted, so at noon they booked a suite in the inn to stay.

The suite is in the innermost room on the fourth floor, the door is a large living room, there is a screen embroidered with flower and bird patterns between the living room and the door, the right side of the living room is the bedroom, the bed, the table, chairs and benches are made of solid wood, exuding a faint wood fragrance. The window of the living room faces the green hills, with a wide view, the whole is spacious and clean, and the layout and decoration are also quite exquisite, which is rare even in the capital. Being able to live in such a remote town in such a remote town in this level of inn, Nangong Bai is quite satisfied.

Push open the window and let in the breeze.

"Captain, the place has been found, and the boy is not lying. Judging from the scene, there are traces of fights and 'falcons' staying, however, we found a boot in the lower reaches of the river, you see, this is a unique symbol of our legion, we guess that the deputy team should have made a short stay here, and when they were eating barbecue, they encountered an accident, and the other party's body sank and destroyed afterwards, and the 'falcon' was probably also hidden by the other party, judging from the animal bones at the scene, it should have happened yesterday. The attendant carried a tattered boot that had been gnawed by a fish.

Nangong Bai pondered for a moment and said: "The death of the deputy team is already a sure thing, and I don't know how to explain to the commanders when I go back. The person may not have been killed by that kid, but the kid is still very suspicious, maybe he knows something we don't know, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that he happened to pass by and picked up the dagger. ”

Nangong Bo paused, and then said: "It's like this, I'll go back to Beijing first, see what the boss says, Zhou Bo go back with me, Cai Qi, you still stay here and stare at it, see if there is anything abnormal in the usual, and stare at that kid by the way." ”

The two attendants should say yes in unison.

When Qian Yu heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease, at least for a short time, Long Bo and the fishing village were not in danger of being washed in blood for the time being, so he stopped staying and turned over gently.

After returning to the attic and meditating, I found that I still had 51 soul points left.

Qian Yu took out a fist-sized swordfish beast core from the space, looked at it carefully, and recalled in his mind the appearance of Shen Yunhai laughing and throwing the beast core towards him, and couldn't help but smile slightly. There was only one swordfish beast core, and Qian Yu planned to keep it as a souvenir, but he was reluctant to use it, so he changed to another bird core.

Silently running the word "suck", there was a warm feeling between the hands. The bird's core seeped out a trace of white and yellow light between the hands, burrowing into the palm of the hand, and the heat flowed along the veins, and finally converged on the soul ball in the brain.

The soul ball spun faster and faster, and after about a stick of incense, the bird's core "snapped" and cracked into two halves, leaving a little ash inside, and the value below the square grid in his mind was displayed as 61/100.

Qianyu secretly calculated, according to the pawnshop's quotation, the bird core is worth 10 gold coins, and after absorbing it, it increased by 10 soul points, so calculated, 1 soul value is equivalent to 1 gold coin, Qianyu now has an idea of the purchasing power of 1 gold coin, I didn't expect the soul to be so valuable, it seems that the poor and rich martial arts really make sense, burn money, and save some money in the future.
