Volume 1 The Long Night in the Sky Chapter 58 Those Things in the North Shadow
Changqing was thinking about Fang Cai all the way back to the inn, and even the street market that gradually became lively after noon did not divert Changqing's attention at all, and finally he couldn't hold it back, so he asked:
"Brother Qin, with your understanding of Beiyou, you must know something, why don't you tell me if I did something that I shouldn't have done. ”
Qin Huaibin, who was walking in front with his hands in his hand, said with a smile:
"Changqing, I can only say that the thing that the girl gave you is called a incense belt, as for what the meaning is, you should know later, anyway, it is a happy event. ”
Changqing was stunned as he walked, he didn't understand anything, and muttered:
"How do you know it's a girl. ”
Qin Huaibin walked in front, with the strength of his realm master, he naturally heard Changqing's muttering, with a smile on his face, and he was in a very good mood.
Back at the inn, Qin Huaibin led the way to distribute the people.
Changqing returned to the room with questions, because he would leave Fearless City early tomorrow morning and rush to Linhai Prefecture City.
Therefore, while practicing at night, I thought about the problems of the day, and I always felt that things were not so simple.
The moonlight fell into the room through the window of the inn, Changqing slowly guided his own qi to familiarize himself with the reversed tendons, and now Changqing's meridians gave him the feeling of a mess, according to the original mysterious person left his own exercise operation mode when slowly mobilizing the qi in the body, those qi machines like rivers flowed slowly, Changqing slowly guided these qi machines to a certain acupuncture point in his hands, and he could clearly feel the surging power, this is the qi turned into internal force, the qi of the realm is really like a big river, endlessly, but Changqing found that these qi machines flowed, there were always wisps of qi that would drain from those subtle cracks in the meridians and disappear, Changqing was confused.
Exhaled a breath of turbidity, stood up, and walked to the window, at this time the moonlight had moved out of the window, and there was a faint whiteness in the sky.
Changqing stood by the small square window of the inn, and suddenly saw a shadow that seemed to flash in the afterglow.
Changqing frowned slightly, he was very confident in his perception, and it stands to reason that no one would be able to escape his perception.
So he shook his head, and outside the window, in the deserted street, there was only an evergreen pine needle tree standing alone in the night.
Maybe it's an illusion.
......
Early the next morning, Changqing slowly went downstairs, it was still early at this time, it was still early, except for the vendors who were in a hurry to do business, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and at the door of the inn, many Wuji Gang members, including Qin Huaibin, more than a dozen people were gathered around to watch something.
Changqing walked closer and patted Qin Huaibin, Qin Huaibin turned around and found that the main owner was coming, and dragged Changqing with a strange look and pushed Changqing to the front.
Changqing looked at it, and it turned out to be the little beggar, thinking that the problem that had plagued him all night could just be explained.
Who knew that Qin Huaibin just asked:
"Girl, isn't the person who received your incense?"
The little beggar nodded.
Most of the people in the gang were young people, and with the day's repairs, the frustrations encountered on the promenade gradually faded, and they slowly regained a little of their former demeanor, and at this time they all had a bad smile on their faces.
Among them, it is not a big deal to see the excitement, and Chong Changqing raised his thumb and said:
"Yes, my brother is not only good at kung fu, but also great in other aspects. ”
"That's right, Brother Evergreen can"
"It's mighty!"
Changqing looked at these people and thought to himself, what are they all like.
Who knew that the little beggar suddenly took two steps forward, walked to Changqing's side, pinched the corner of Changqing's clothes, and didn't leave.
Changqing looked confused, and couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, so he said:
"Why are you here again, didn't I say it, you don't have to take the silver I gave you yesterday to heart, and you don't have to do this. ”
The little beggar just pulled the corner of Changqing's clothes, and everyone couldn't see the appearance and expression of the little beggar clearly, but just blindly ridiculed Changqing, because in the eyes of everyone, the little beggar on the street can have any appearance, but they just think that this matter is very interesting, and it seems that Changqing, a rookie who comes to Beiyou for the first time, makes such a funny move after all, after all, it is rare, because every time they come to Beiyou for the first time, they will definitely understand some things, customs, or what should be paid attention to.
For example, there is one that is, if a woman gives you an incense belt when you go to Beiyou, if the other party is not beautiful, don't accept it, if you don't want to marry the other party, don't accept it, because the incense belt is homophonic (treated) in Beiyou, and the woman sends the incense belt is like asking you, are you willing to marry me?
If you accept it, you have to marry the other person, otherwise you are a bad person, and something is going to happen.
Changqing naturally didn't know this, not that he was careless or anything like that, but he never thought that such a thing would happen to Beiyou.
Before he came, he exchanged a copy of the "Geographical Atlas of the Northern Shadows" and a copy of "Jiaolong Zhi" from the black crow pawnshop, the so-called preparedness, as for the customs, Changqing felt that there should be no problem if he was careful, who knew that it was planted on the customs.
At this time, Qin Huaibin had already attached his ear to Changqing's ear and confessed two sentences.
Changqing sighed, he didn't expect this to be the case, Changqing had thought about this possibility last night, when he thought that maybe this girl would not appear again until he left Dreadnought City.
Who knows, early the next morning, she appeared.
This girl is not tall and only has an evergreen chest, thinking that the other party may not be very old and would do such a thing on a whim.
Shaking his head, he said:
"Well, then, I will give you back the incense, and you give me the silver, as if we had never seen it. ”
The little beggar, or as she should be called, lowered her head, raised her left hand and gently rubbed her eyes, as if wiping away tears.
Changqing was suddenly a little panicked, he had never had such experience, and he didn't know how to refuse a girl, and there are still differences between this girl and you.
At this time, the eyes of the surrounding people to see Changqing began to change, people are compassionate, although Changqing is his own person, but this little girl is so weak, maybe she just wants to find a backer, why do you treat others like this, it's good to accept it as a maid, in case it is good to be a good person in the future, and if you marry it, you will marry.
Changqing was under pressure, really helpless, and thought to himself to stabilize it first, maybe it would be better in a few days.
Changqing squatted down and gently plucked the dead leaves on the girl's head, and said slightly kindly:
"It's better for you to follow us first, and if there is a good family in the future, we can come forward to introduce you to work, which is better than being a little beggar outside." ”
The girl shook her head, then nodded, Changqing knew what she meant.
turned around and glanced at Qin Huaibin helplessly.
Qin Huaibin's face was still pale, and he nodded at Changqing.
So the group pressed the carriage and slowly walked towards the north city gate.
It's just that no one saw that the little beggar girl who followed Changqing was tightly tied to her waist in her loose long coat full of oil stains and holes.
......
When everyone left the nameless inn, this is another little difference between Changqing and Nanzhao, the North You Inn is rarely famous, generally hanging a brocade cloth outside the inn, with the word inn written on it, and occasionally the boss adds his surname to the brocade cloth, which is considered to have a store name.
At this time, he had already arrived at the north city gate, Qin Huaibin was at the forefront, and more than ten helpers were about two people escorting a carriage, and everyone was leading the horses.
A flag was raised on the carriage in the middle of the procession, and the flag was a road flag issued by the Ming Wangjiao, with the words of the Ming Wangjiao on it, and the words of business travel marked in small characters, which was considered to have been certified by the Mingwang Sect for trade qualifications.
But because of some things, they were still stopped by the soldiers at the north city gate, and the leading Beiyou Lieutenant was the standard northerner's figure, tall, with iron armor as black as ink, and a standard scimitar at his waist.
Seeing Qin Huaibin, he hugged his fists slightly:
"It turned out to be Mr. Qin, where did he go to make a fortune this time. ”
Qin Huaibin chuckled, quietly handed over a small bag of silver coins, and said with a smile:
"It's just a matter of begging for a living, if you want to say that you are nourished, how can you be moisturized. This time I have to go to the state city again, who doesn't know that the merchants in your state city are the best at grinding prices, and this trip will not lose money.
Changqing stood not far behind Qin Huaibin, listening quietly to this grinding and grinding kung fu, only to feel that the rivers and lakes are not so easy to walk, I don't know if I talked to Du Qingsong at that time to practice swords and become a master and walk the rivers and lakes, in fact, the newborn calves of the two rookies in the rivers and lakes will not be gnawed by people, and there are not even bones left.
Changqing shook his head, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he suddenly realized it, and turned to look, only to see the little beggar's faint gaze falling on him through his long hair, as if a hungry wolf had met its prey.
Changqing couldn't help but sigh again, who did I recruit to provoke whom.
The topic over there was over, and the young lieutenant's eyes swept slightly over the gang, landing on the boxes of goods and the Ming Wang Sect flag waving in the wind, and he waved his hand and prepared to let go.
The goods are planted with the banner of the Ming King Sect, so those priests of the Ming King Sect must have intervened, otherwise how could those people be kind enough to put a channel flag on these goods, and he is just a sesame mung bean big captain, how can he be willing to provoke those big people of the Ming King Sect.
After Qin Huaibin smiled and nodded in greeting, he prepared to take everyone out of the city.
"Slow ......"
A slightly shrill voice appeared abruptly.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, and there was a jade shop on the street not far away, and two people walked out of the shop, two people wearing white school uniforms with black edges embroidered on their sleeves.
Walking in front of Changqing and his party with a red face, he instructed the captain who was guarding the city:
"Are you a captain of the city guarding such a hasty thing, if we hadn't seen it, wouldn't it have been a great matter for you to spoil the high priest? ”
When the young lieutenant saw that they were the two deacons who had entered the city with the noble high priest yesterday, he did not know for a moment what to say.
Seeing that Nadu Wei was embarrassed, Qin Huaibin hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"In Xia Wuji to help Qin Huaibin, he is going back and forth to the north and south to do serious business, if there is anything inconsiderate, I hope that the two priests Haihan. ”
Qin Haibin naturally knew that these two people were not the priests of the Ming King Sect, but deacons who had slightly more positions than ordinary sect members.
Mingwangjiao can be said to be eight out of ten households in the north are Mingwang believers, but to become a member of the Mingwang Sect, you have to learn the Mingwang canon through the Ming School since childhood, and then select the best to absorb the Mingwang Sect, these disciples who have studied the Mingwang Sect since childhood are the most loyal to the Mingwang Sect, and they are much more loyal than those martial artists who have entered the Church halfway with advanced cultivation.
These two people are not young but they are still only two deacons, obviously not used in the Ming King Sect, at this time they are called priests, their hearts are happy, and their faces are slightly softened.
