Chapter 244: A Way to Live
Gao Yishui saw that Qin Ke was deep in thought, and suddenly sat up and said, "It's always interesting to be alive." Only by living can we find such an empty thing as 'meaning'. But now it seems that it is cheaper for you. Although I believe that the old shopkeeper may not have a palace structure map, but in comparison, after all, he is a craftsman who has really been responsible for the construction of the palace, and has a deep understanding of some secret doors and mechanisms, and the most important thing is ......"
"What is it?" Qin Ke raised his head.
"A way to live. Gao Yishui stretched out a hand and drew dots in the air, "He is a smart man among craftsmen, and he has long expected that Yang Taizhen will be killed afterwards, so he conspired with those craftsmen to set up a secret passage in the palace, this secret passage...... It's the way to live. ”
Qin Ke looked at Gao Yishui blankly: "So you said...... Can I try, just because there's a way out?"
"Half of it. The other half is that I believe in the ability of the shopkeeper, and the subordinates he has cultivated will never be mediocre. And what you have to do is to follow the arrangements of these 'professionals', instead of foolishly messing around in the palace by yourself. If I can't get your life in exchange for a favor, then this business will be too bad......"
Gao Yishui never concealed his snobbish style on the surface, but Qin Ke could hear a bit of care in his smug words, and he was a little moved in his heart: "Old Gao......"
"Don't, don't play with me now, I'm tired...... You'd better memorize this map first, and you'll have to get it done. Gao Yishui turned his back to Qin Ke sideways, raised his hand and made a movement to catch up, and said: "After three days, you'd better treat the palace as your home, if you happen to have a stomach and find the wrong thatched house to go to the imperial dining room, then you deserve to die." ”
He yawned again and pouted, "Hurry up, and when I wake up, we'll change places." And ......"
He touched his stomach: "I'm a little hungry, and when I wake up, I hope someone has prepared a meal for me......"
Qin Ke immediately stuffed the silk book into his arms, turned around and ran downstairs: "I'll buy you buns now." ”
"Come back! Make noodles by yourself, there is rice in the rice tank, and now go out and come back, are you not afraid of two tails behind you?"
"Okay!" Qin Ke ran downstairs with a fart.
At noon, Gao Yishui finally woke up faintly, the room was filled with the fragrance of millet porridge, and there were two bowls on the table, both of which were buckled with plates, and it was precisely because of this that when he touched it, the bowls were still warm.
The shopkeeper just took away some necessary things, the dishes, chopsticks, and rice noodles were still there, so there was this light meal, but Gao Yishui was very happy to eat, and Qin Ke didn't know where to turn out the pickled radish, and drank the rice porridge in a big gulp: "After leaving Daoxiang Village for so long, the taste of this pancake and millet porridge is still unforgettable......
Qin Ke happened to push the door in at this time, holding a plate of lightly cut cured meat in his hand, looking at Gao Yishui squinting and smiling: "There is a piece of cured meat hanging in the kitchen, it is estimated that it is used for soup, but we are all leaving, I steamed it and cut it, I used to eat it every year during the Chinese New Year when I was in Daoxiang Village." ”
Gao Yishui smiled and took a slice, and took a sip of porridge while tasting it: "It's a little salty, and it's also thanks to your well-born master who is used to eating it." ”
Qin Ke nodded, thinking of his master's easy-going appearance: "He never seems to complain about anything. ”
Maybe it's because he doesn't think it matters. Gao Yishui said with a smile, "I'm getting more and more curious about your master now." ”
After the three of them ate and drank enough, they also left the inn with their own things, last night was the Lantern Festival, many people stayed up all night, so this morning's Ding'an City was extraordinarily quiet, those drunks who were drunk in the middle of the night had been carried away by the watchmen, leaving only a puddle of vomit in place.
And Qin Ke's eyes were half-closed, the wind vision technique had been opened to the maximum, and only after confirming that no one was hiding in a place that he couldn't see, did he slowly open his eyes, and the three of them walked out of the back door.
"If that group of people are mountain bandits in Jingwu, then why did they come to Ding'an City?" Gao Yishui walked halfway and suddenly asked as if talking to himself.
The two of them were slightly stunned, they didn't know why Gao Yishui suddenly mentioned this matter, Qin Ke couldn't answer, so he could only say, "Maybe they have some other plans." Maybe...... Want to find out if there is a caravan from Tang to Jingwu?"
"Have you ever seen a mountain bandit robbing the Dao so planned and organized, and even a cultivator can be sent as a spy?" Gao Yishui smiled at Qin Ke innocently, "Even if the number of cultivators in this world is said to be a lot less, it can be said that there are not many cultivators, a group of mountain bandits, it is already the extreme, to say that they are cultivators at random, it can only mean that they are the shadows of the Tang Kingdom, Jing Wu, or even Canghai, the Mo family, and the Great Wall." ”
Gao Yishui shook his head: "But...... It still doesn't make sense, so I'll just make a guess. ”
"What?"
"Maybe they're smashing all the money up...... Moreover, the picture is not small. Gao Yishui sighed softly: "Their target may not be us, but if it is really related to us, it will be a big trouble." You'll have to go to the palace in three days......" At this point, he didn't continue.
Qin Ke didn't understand Gao Yishui's concerns, with his experience in the rivers and lakes, he really couldn't peel off the cocoon from such a messy mystery, but he still believed in Gao Yishui's judgment very much, and smiled and said: "It's okay, with you to help me arrange, I believe nothing will go wrong." ”
Gao Yishui listened to this compliment, with an expression of enjoyment, and nodded vigorously: "Of course." Come on, Ah Ke, come and pat my ass again, shoot hard. ”
So Qin Ke kicked him in the ass.
The bamboo slip left by the old shopkeeper was burned to ashes in the charcoal brazier this morning, but the three of them already remembered the content of it, and the matter of the joint was naturally a matter of course.
It's just that compared with the previous inn, this time the joint point is not an inn, but a rice shop in an old street, the principal is much younger than the old shopkeeper, in his thirties, his body looks well-proportioned and vigorous, his name is Jingyu, Jingwu people.
While leading the three of them to the inner room, he introduced to the three of them: "This rice shop is a stronghold that we usually use to transmit news, and it is common for people to buy and sell rice, and the news from outside the city can also be stuffed from the bud valley or in the rice bag, and then we use 'buy rice' to transmit the news everywhere......"
He walked upstairs and opened an old room, which was also very poorly furnished, with a table and a chair, and even the bed was a large bunk, he smiled embarrassedly: "The three of you will stay here first, because it is temporarily cleaned up, it looks a little simpler, and I am not well entertained." ”
"It doesn't matter. Gao Yishui glanced at Abu Qinke, these two people are not people who can't endure hardship, and he himself is a poor person who can gnaw on the nest and be rich and spend a lot of money, he was not also poor in Jiujiang City, but he never felt anything unhappy.
What kind of realm is this? This is "both elegant and vulgar appreciation"!
Gao Yishui looked up to himself in his heart: Xiao Ye is really the best pianist in the world, a wonderful person who has attained the Tao, and there are articles for every peck and drink!
Just when Gao Yishui was taking care of himself, Qin Ke asked with some curiosity: "If you say that you rely on buying rice to deliver news, then wouldn't all the news be sent from here? If we live here, in case we cause any trouble, wouldn't they be able to touch melons through the rice shop?"
Gao Yishui rolled his eyes and said: "Where is it so easy, although the rice shop transmits the news, but after all, it is only one of the links, this news not only passes through the rice shop, but I am afraid that it will take several tosses and turns to reach the place." ”
"And the rice shop does not need everyone to come at the same time, everyone arranges a different time to buy rice, and the people who come here to buy and sell rice are also served in one pot. Once something happens to Mipu, other strongholds will also pass news to each other, but I am afraid that even if Tang Guo finds out, it will be difficult to check up through this line. Gao Yishui looked at Jing Yu and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, I don't know if what I said is right?"
