A month later.

More than half of autumn has passed, and Ding'an City is not too cold, this magnificent city, known as the "warm city", began to introduce merchants on this day, and merchants from all over the world almost rushed to hear the wind.

There are a total of 24 caves in Ding'an City, which were blocked overnight.

This kind of scene is naturally because the annual lantern festival in Ding'an City is coming.

And Qin Ke sat on the horse, looking at the walls and towers of Ding'an City, through the gaps in the city holes, he had vaguely seen a bustling scene, originally he thought that Jianye City was prosperous enough, but compared to the Tang Kingdom, it was still a small thing, a lot worse.

"What are you stunned about? Qin Ke heard the sound of Gao Yishui in his ears, something flew towards him, he stretched out his hand and copied it, and his hand was a heavy bag, just listening to the friction sound of things inside, he could guess that it must be all white silver.

Since the caravan has arrived in Ding'an City, naturally the fate between the three of them and the caravan has also come to an end, and at this time, Gao Yishui naturally wants to get the remuneration that should belong to them.

And Jiao Yang saw that he had now reached his destination, and the caravan no longer needed the protection of Qin Ke and others, so he wished that these ancestors would leave, and he quoted an over-three-percent of the matter.

Of course, he is not easy to show in terms of face, so when he parted, he had a good greeting with Gao Yishui for a while, most of them were "reluctant" and "I also had feelings along the way", Gao Yishui also responded with a smile on his face, such as "I will definitely bother in the future" as if he didn't want to throw money out.

Qin Ke didn't turn his head to look at Gao Yishui, but said calmly: "It's a shame that you have that idleness, and you can still talk so much nonsense with him." ”

"What is?" Gao Yishui didn't think so, he smiled and said, "He said to me on the surface that he was reluctant to say anything, but he was in his stomach and left quickly; Don't you think this kind of person is funny?"

"That's what you think. Qin Ke glanced at him with slanted eyes, "I'm most annoyed by this kind of person." ”

"Really?" Gao Yishui threw him another deerskin water bag.

Qin Ke took it with some doubts, and after opening it, there was a strong smell of wine, but it was very mellow, "What do you mean?"

"This is a tribute wine sold to the Tang King's palace, I don't get nothing when I talk to people like this, people are in a hurry to push me out, I have to find something to prevaricate me, isn't it? Anyway, I've always felt that this kind of person is better than the second stunned, at least the second stunned person won't give me this good thing. Gao Yishui laughed, opened the deerskin water bag in his hand, and took a big sip.

Li Qiuhuang is a good liquor, and naturally the tribute wine supplied to the Tang King's Palace is not Jing Wu's light rice wine, but a rare liquor.

Gao Yi poured water in one gulp, until the wine penetrated his chest and abdomen like fire, although it was as strong as a northland spirit, it did not make people feel the feeling of a knife, but made people feel warm, and even the chill outside the city had faded a lot.

He laughed and said, "Happy!" It made a lot of people in line look sideways.

Although the queue at the gate of Ding'an City is long, the speed of passage is not slow at all, probably because the lantern will be approaching, so the access control has also been released a lot, basically the sergeant looked at the goods, flipped through them at will, and did not make too many records, so he waved his hand and let it go.

Qin Ke finally witnessed the prosperity of this majestic city with his own eyes, and he was slightly stunned for the first time.

The streets are full of people, and the ears are full of hustle and bustle, and the people in Ding'an City seem to be all small rich families, and there are few people wearing linen clothes, and even the hawkers are full of blessings.

The wide streets do not cause congestion, and horse-drawn carriages can pass smoothly on the two central roads of the road. The sound of horses' hooves clattering on the flat bluestone pavement is very crisp, which complements the gently swaying wind chimes in front of the store.

Gao Yishui looked at it and said with a smile: "The end of the world is separated by copper bells. ”

"This is also Li Qiuhuang's poem?" Qin Ke said, but even if Gao Yishui didn't answer, he probably understood why there were a string of wind chimes hanging at the door of the shops on both sides.

Qin Ke got off the horse, holding the reins all the way slowly forward, all this Jing Wu saw was Qionglou Yuyu, green tiles, carved railings, lattice windows, and even the top of the cornices were decorated with a lot, from a distance, it looked like a noble man with his head held high proudly, and the noon sun made him look incomparably majestic and fluttering.

And Qin Ke raised his head and saw from a distance that there was a tall attic in the distance, standing out from the crowd. It's like a hand touching the sky, and it's the so-called "Star Picking Tower"?

If Jianye City has a restrained pride under the management of Zhuge Wanling, Ding'an City is undoubtedly flamboyant, and everyone is willing to show their pride as Tang people.

Even if the Mo family retains the Ji Chaoji School Palace, it is said that "there are 3,000 bachelors, and the arguments are endless day and night", but so what? They have a lord who can be called a "poet immortal", even if it is only about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are few people in the world who can beat him.

At this time, there were a few people passing by, Qin Ke inexplicably had a strange feeling in his heart, he tilted his head slightly, and with the corner of his eye, he happened to see the four of them gathered into a group, and the first person was dressed as a scholar, looking a little thin, but his eyes were deep and wise, he slowly moved forward, and the person beside him said: "Master, the fifth man is waiting for you." ”

"Let him go to Qingshuiju, and let's go meet the man first. The scribe said.

Soon, several people disappeared into the crowd, Qin Ke thought for a long time, he really didn't remember where he had seen this scribe, and his subordinates felt a sense of gangsterism.

But what does this have to do with him? There are many people in this world, and maybe this is just one of them.

"Find a place to stay first. Qin Ke said suddenly.

However, this simple sentence made Gao Yishui's eyes appear rare solemn, he nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

However, what Qin Ke didn't know was that just as he walked forward with Gao Yishui and Abu, the scribe's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Master, what's wrong?" said one of the people behind him a little strangely.

Lu Ming turned around and stared deeply at Qin Ke's back, with a slight doubt in his eyes: "These two people, it seems that they are the two Taixue Hall students who are performing martial arts in front of the palace?"

"Tai Xuetang?" The subordinates behind him didn't quite understand, after all, he was born as a mountain bandit, and he had never been to Jianye City in his life, although he had heard of the great name of Tai Xuetang, and he had also heard that this Tai Xuetang accepted some poor children with good talents to study.

But after many years of experience, he never believed that those high-ranking officials and nobles would have such good intentions, maybe this is just another statement to fool the people.

At this time, Chopper shuttled through the crowd, his hands still wrapped in gauze, and blood seeped out of it. He lowered his head and was about to speak, but he followed Lu Ming's gaze and happened to see Qin Ke and a few people, and he was immediately shocked: "It's them!

"What? are these boys?" Lu Ming's subordinates were suddenly indignant, rubbing their hands, "Master, let's find a place to do these people, right?"

Lu Ming looked at a few people, shook his head and said, "Wu Ting, Lu Pu, you follow him, remember, you can't follow too closely, keep a distance of at least ten zhang." ”

"Shizhang?" The two glanced at each other, and there was some shock in each other's eyes, is this still called tracking?

Ten zhang distance, even if people have any movements, their side can not react in time, if people really want to go, where is the distance of ten zhang enough to chase?

"Master, you're not kidding, are you?

However, Lu Ming just glanced at it, and the two of them immediately shuddered, lowered their heads and responded, "Yes." ”

Lu Ming looked at the two of them, narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself that the young man named Qin Ke was showing the Mo family's innate wind technique in the martial arts performance in the main hall, this kind of thaumaturgy can use the wind to expand hearing, if it is unfolded, the little bit of tracking ability of his two subordinates can still guarantee that it will not be discovered?

"Let's go. He turned around, he didn't care that Qin Ke and the others killed one of his right-hand men, for him, these mountain bandits were just tools he needed temporarily, and if he died, he would die.

And Qin Ke and Abu are Zhuge Wanling's people, if they are carrying some ulterior secrets on this trip, there is no need for him to conflict with them.

Of course...... The premise is that they don't stand in his way, otherwise he won't give up even if he needs to kill them all.
