Chapter 63: Stalking
In fact, the shopkeeper was still a little afraid, but for the sake of the shining silver on the table, he couldn't hold back for a while, and before the handyman could speak, he lowered his voice and said:
"This is going to start from three years ago, three years ago, His Majesty the Emperor in the capital," the shopkeeper said as he arched his hand to the south, "Your Majesty has recruited a new concubine, and she was born to be called a national color and heavenly fragrance, and it was not long after entering the palace, so that Your Majesty regarded the six palaces as if they were nothing." ”
"However, although this concubine is as beautiful as a flower, she is a red face and a disaster, so that His Majesty ignores the government and does not say anything, relying on the holy family Zhenglong, and even instigating His Majesty to kill a few loyal and good officials in the court. ”
"It can be seen that a good-looking woman is often just beautiful on the outside, but on the inside, I don't know how femme fatale she is, or she is ordinary, virtuous and virtuous. ”
Because the shopkeeper heard Xiaocui say that the female guest was not born well, he saw a sentence in the stitches, and he thought that he was touting Bihua without a trace.
Bihua bowed her head, didn't say much, and continued to listen to him.
"Later, some people said that this lady, in fact, is not a person, but a demon!" he said mysteriously, "I heard from the guests in the capital before, since she entered the palace, there have been a lot of strange things in the capital, but most of them are chasing after the wind, and no one has evidence, or the evidence has been deliberately erased." ”
"This strange thing seems to have spread from the capital as the source, and there are grotesque rumors in many places in Chen Guo, I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"What did you start to say about the ten miles and eight towns in Xin'an City, and someone is missing?"
"This was a while ago, a few months ago, a lot of people disappeared in the villages outside the city, and in a strange way. Some people were working in their own fields, and suddenly they disappeared, and the others did not hear any cries for help, and when they went to see where they were, there was no trace of struggle. ”
"There are also some people who can disappear into thin air even if they are left alone at home, and I heard that the doors and windows have not even been opened. Most of these people were alone when they disappeared, although this strange thing did not happen in Xin'an City, but if you want to go out, it is best to be careful and not to go to a place where there is no one. ”
"At the time, some people guessed that it wasn't done by people, otherwise how could it be so weird. ”
"In my opinion, the demons mentioned in the list posted by the government are related to the people who disappeared before. ”
"But things are busy in the inn, the notice has been posted for a day, and the two of us have just heard from other guests, and when we ask the demon slayer tomorrow, we will take the time to see with our own eyes what the demon looks like." ”
"I see, the two of you have said so much, this ingot of silver will be used as your mouth money. You don't have to be busy with this table for the time being, you can take it and buy some tea to drink, it's hard work. ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard, thank you for the reward! ”
Just said such a few words, how can a person who has been busy in the inn all the year round feel tired, and the two of them took the silver with great gratitude, and were about to retire.
"Oh yes, the money for the meal at the next table will be recorded in my account, and if you ask, you will say that someone has invited you, so you don't have to reveal that it is me. ”
Bihua remembered that the news was mentioned by the guest next door first, and called the innkeeper to give an order.
"Ah, okay, you are so kind, guest officer, let's go and say hello to the guest next door. ”
The shopkeeper and the handyman were a little confused, and they didn't understand why Bihua invited the guests at the next table, but they didn't ask much, just because they were the special habits of rich people.
This kind of thing that doesn't require them to pay money, and can also sell personal favors, why not do it.
Before the two of them went out, they knocked on the door and entered the private seat next door, and told the guests inside that they had been invited to this table.
"What? And this kind of good thing?"
"Who invited you? Did you meet someone you knew?"
"No, I deliberately hid my mother-in-law from eating and drinking, and I didn't tell anyone except a few of you, so no one should know!"
"No matter so much, it's not good for someone to treat you?!Xiao Er, you thank him for us, thank him so much!"
......
There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping next door, not mentioning.
Bihua stopped her chopsticks after eating a few bites of food, looking at the lively and prosperous scene in the city, thoughtful.
It seems that this Sin'an Fortress is not so peaceful as it seems, and when you finish eating, you will go to the notice wall they are talking about.
What kind of demons do these people look like? If the strength is at the same level as the snake demon and wolf demon she has seen, then the ability of the government here is quite good.
Well...... Is the concubine in the shopkeeper's mouth related to the fact that Qin Gongzi was released one by one? Anyway, she is aimless, if the capital is the source of strange things, it is better to go to the capital later.
Deciding the course of her next trip, Bihua relaxes and continues to enjoy her first meal since entering the city.
The fried fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without a trace of fishy smell, and the thickened sauce is just right, poured on the burnt yellow skin, sweet and sour, and does not hide the fresh aroma of the fish itself. The green and white contrast of the choy sum is also crisp and refreshing, and the soup is just right to relieve greasy.
It's just that the tea is a little less satisfactory, but after all, it is a place to eat, and the requirements should not be too high.
After finishing the meal, Bihua had nothing to do, and was ready to go out to the Xicheng bulletin wall that the shopkeeper said, and then go shopping after reading it, and prepare two sets of clothes for washing.
After settling the bill, Bihua came out of the restaurant.
It was noon and afternoon, and the city was a little less crowded than in the morning, but it was still bustling.
The aroma of rice and wine floated from the restaurants on both sides of the road, and the voices of people were noisy.
Bihua liked this long-lost feeling of being full of fireworks, and deliberately slowed down to experience the lively atmosphere of the street in the crowd.
What Bihua didn't know was that even if she wanted to blend in with the crowd on the street, the otherworldly temperament she had cultivated after cultivating immortals for so many years made her feel like an immortal in the sky mixed in the mundane, even if she didn't do anything, she was still as eye-catching as a crane standing in a flock of chickens.
This will not be long, it hasn't been long before it is targeted by people with bad intentions.
Bi Hua heard the footsteps following behind her, the steps were vain and weak, and she would not hide it, and it could not be compared with the two guards when she entered the city.
When Bi Hua looked back, he saw a person sneaking behind him, and when he saw Bi Hua turn around, he immediately pretended to be a pestle to pick something from a roadside stall.
It's interesting, it's hard to hang out, and you can come across such a classic bridge.
