"A little further on, there's a town. ”

Li Junchang said.

His understanding of Hongzhou is far above everyone.

Jin Ye has been staying in a remote mine for a long time, and even the current changes in Hongzhou and Fucheng are enough to make him lost, and he naturally doesn't know the geography of these details.

Qingxue was very hungry, her body was already a little cold, and she was a little sleepy.

Strange to say, people always fall asleep when they are hungry.

Just like most beasts choose to hibernate when they can't find anything in winter.

Sleeping can always slow down one's consumption to a minimum, and it can be regarded as a kind of self-protection.

"It is estimated that there is nothing that young girls like to eat in the town......"

Wen Qiwen said.

"When you go out, you are not the son of the state commander, and she is not Miss Qingfu. There is not so much room for pickiness, and besides, such pickiness is really not noble. ”

Jin Ye said coldly.

In his eyes, nobility is actually a thing in regulation.

Qingfu is a kind of regulation, and Hongzhou is also a kind of regulation.

Within the regulations, conditions permit, Qing Xueqing and Wen Qiwen can put on their own way.

But nobility has always come from the inside out, and without noble blood and bones, where can the precious flesh and skin come from? A truly noble person can be distinguished from every pore and hair strand of his hair.

Although Jin Ye has a lot of luxurious scaffolding, he never feels that he is a noble person.

Because he felt that his qualities had not yet reached that level.

Noble quality,First of all, there will be no idea of the next work。

If you don't have the idea of doing something, you won't naturally have the act of doing it.

But Jin Ye has done a lot of dirty work, and he has also played a lot of tricks.

On these two grounds alone, he is not noble.

A turnip, a pit, and there is shit when the ass is raised.

This is what Jin Ye said about himself.

If you want to make a hard calculation, Jin Ye's noble is nothing more than a simple soul.

After all, he is eager to repay and is not broad-minded.

If you want to make nobility too complicated, it is not noble, but hypocrisy.

Only hypocritical villains are complex-minded and will lift themselves to a so-called height.

But this kind of nobility without any connotation, relying on external objects to prop up the table, is actually not essentially different from dirty.

Wen Qiwen touched a soft nail silently at Jin Ye's place, touched the tip of his nose with some embarrassment, and then stopped talking.

Jin Ye greeted the group of people and horses, and walked towards the direction of the town pointed out by Li Junchang.

It's more of a mountain town than a small town.

Hongzhou is mountainous, and people's gathering places are often in the mountain cols.

After all, these mineral deposits are all in the mountains, and if there are few mountains, the mineral deposits will not be so rich.

It doesn't look like a small place, with about a few hundred homes.

Mr. Li said the last time he was here was several years ago.

At that time, the town was far from the size it has today, and the land was worthy of hundreds of households.

Now, it can be considered early in the morning.

The east has just revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.

But the morning light had not yet penetrated the mountains and shone in, so the town was still dark.

But the lights are lit at the door of every house, which can't help but make everyone very strange.

Jin Ye and Li Junchang glanced at each other, but this was really the closest place to go.

Not only Qing Xueqing, but also the people in the Hongzhou Prefecture Unified Mansion have long been sleepy.

When they entered the town, they saw that there were many sergeants, armed with swords and armor, who were shuttling back and forth in the town.

A person who looks like an officer at the head, Wen Qiwen once met with him in the state government, it is a government commander of Hongzhou, named Zhang Jianlong.

Seeing that it was his own person, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Fuling, this is on official business?"

Wen Qiwen took the lead, stepped forward and arched his hand and asked.

Zhang Jianlong, perhaps because he didn't get enough sleep in the morning, formed a company, and was standing there reprimanding the two subordinates sharply.

"Don't you see that Lao Tzu is having something, get away, otherwise you will be deducted!"

The sky was dark, and he didn't know much about Wen Qiwen, the son of the state commander, so he opened his mouth and went back.

Wen Qiwen smiled and didn't care.

Then he dismounted from the turnover, took the reins, and quietly walked to Zhang Jianlong's side.

Zhang Jianlong was worried that he had nowhere to spread the fire in his belly, and when he saw this person walking over so arrogantly, he suddenly felt a burst of secret joy in his heart......

I wanted to take him in, and I suddenly pulled out a knife, which would definitely scare him into a yellow and white crotch.

When the time comes, then find a name to lock him up for a few days, which can be regarded as having fun for himself and venting his anger.

"Dangchang!"

When Wen Qiwen was still two or three steps away from this Jianlong, his knife was already out of its sheath.

Between the lightning and flint, only a flash of whiteness was seen.

Zhang Jianlong came back to his senses, only to find that he had somehow reinserted himself into the scabbard.

Such a strange situation shocked his forehead with a layer of fine and dense beads of sweat.

While retreating again and again, he was ready to shout loudly,

"Bold! Dare to knife Childe?!"

Zhang Jianlong had just opened his mouth often, and when his voice was walking from his chest to his throat, the soldiers of the State Command Mansion behind Wen Qiwen rushed up.

They rushed up, protecting Wen Qiwen behind them, not to mention, but even surrounded Zhang Jianlong.

Zhang Jianlong looked at it, and there were bright blades all around, and he couldn't calm down in his heart, so he had to draw the knife again.

But just now these people said "Childe", but it made him hesitate......

Then with so much light reflected from the blades, he finally saw Wen Qiwen's face clearly.

I have to say that Wen Qiwen's facial features are very similar to his father, Hongzhou Prefecture Tongwen Tingbai.

The only difference is that Wen Tingbai's skin is darker, while Wen Qiwen is extremely white, which is probably with his long-deceased mother.

"It turned out to be Childe! I really don't know it, and I thought it was a villain! I hope Childe forgive me!"

After Zhang Jianlong saw it clearly, he immediately threw it to the ground, then clenched his fists and bowed, and said to this Wen Qiwen.

"It's okay, I'm also on a whim, I just want to make a joke with Zhang Fuling!"

Wen Qiwen said with a smile.

stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Jianlong's arm to make him stand up straight.

Zhang Jianlong's heart sighed......

I have long heard that this son is very virtuous, and he has never done anything on weekdays, but when I look at it, it is indeed so.

Only Fang Jianlong's extremely subordinates who were scolded by Zhang Jianlong secretly covered their mouths and snickered when they saw their bosses being deflated at this moment.

I didn't laugh, but my heart was happy!

This feeling is even more enjoyable than them going up to smoke Zhang Jianlong's big mouths by themselves!

Zhang Jianlong was born in the army and has not read any books.

If you want to talk about culture, you can just know Braille.

Even his own name is still written crookedly.

can be regarded as half a mud leg, and there is always the gangsterism of the king of rivers, lakes and mountains, even the soldiers under his hands.

He scolded the officer, and the officer scolded the leader, and the leader scolded the sergeant under him, and finally the veteran bullied the new soldier, and the recruit had nowhere to spread the fire, so he had to complain to the firehead that there was no meat in today's meal.

"Zhang Fuling, this is on official business?"

Wen Qiwen asked.

This sentence is exactly the same at the beginning.

But the return is very different......

The last time Wen Qiwen asked like this, it was Zhang Jianlong's knife drawn in exchange.

But after less than a cup of tea, Zhang Jianlong was polite and respectful.

"Hui Gongzi. In the name of the state unification, he came here to investigate the robbery of the salary. ”

Zhang Jianlong said.

Wen Qiwen nodded.

Their trip to the mine is a dark line.

In order to hide people's eyes, Wen Tingbai also sent many teams, scattered in Hongzhou, and investigated town by town.

In this way, it not only explains the royal order of the Zhenbei Palace, but also attracts the attention of others as much as possible.

"Childe, how did you come to this remote place?"

Zhang Jianlong asked.

But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it......

I have already offended this state ruler, but now I am inquiring about other people's private affairs, don't you dislike your neck for being too tough, but you are constantly cutting the blade?

"In the past few days, there have been some soldiers and horses moving around in Hongzhou Mansion, and I can't calm down because of the disturbance. No, I took my very friends and Qingmei out for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet Zhang Fuling here by mistake. ”

Wen Qiwen said.

These words are really watertight.

Jin Ye listened to it, and he was secretly amazed in his heart.

I thought that this Wen Qiwen was just an embroidered pillow.

This time I went to the mine together, which is nothing more than to increase my resume and put a circle of gold on my own.

But from the previous move that snatched Zhang Jianlong's knife and put it back in the scabbard untouched, Jin Ye and Li Junchang saw that this Wen Qiwen was by no means a useless vase.

Coupled with this speech, Jin Ye felt that this son was not simple.

In fact, this Wen Qiwen is also intentional.

His mind is very thoughtful.

Before going out, his father Wen Tingbai had specially explained that this time he would take Jin Ye as the main thing, and the people in their Hongzhou Prefecture Mansion should try not to take the lead.

But if you don't take the lead, it means that you will be treated with contempt.

What's more, no matter his age and qualifications, he is far from Jin Ye and Li Junchang.

What I care more about is that no matter how Jin Ye loses, he is still the brother of his sweetheart.

Wen Tingbai can't be rigid, or even fall out with it no matter what.

Before, he was just concerned about Qing Xueqing's eating, so he invited Jin Ye to preach.

The only way to make them value themselves is to find a chance to show it.

That's why he deliberately approached Zhang Jinlong quietly, he was already familiar with Zhang Jianlong's heart.

If he approached so quietly, he would definitely be provoked to draw his sword.

Everything that followed was logical.

Now Jin Ye doesn't say how much he can afford it in his heart, but he doesn't dare to have the slightest contempt for Wen Qiwen.

The goal has been achieved, and he also knows the truth of accepting it when he sees it, after all, if he continues to talk about it, it not only violates his father's advice, but also makes Jin Ye feel a little noisy.

So Wen Qiwen turned around and guided this Jin Ye.

"Brother Qing, they are all their own people, do you think you can rest and rest here, okay?"

Jin Ye nodded.

Yu Li Junchang dismounted together.

Although this sentence seems to ask Jin Ye's opinion, it is actually all the arrangements have been made.

Even if Jin Ye felt comfortable, Wen Qiwen's own face as the son of the state commander was also saved.

What's more, with Zhang Jianlong's coarse mind, he can't understand the doorway at all.

"It's hard for everyone to come in, I'll buy some wine and meat in the town for a while, and you can distribute it, which can be regarded as a talk about the heart and reward. But don't get drunk! if you don't delay your business, I will indeed be rebuked by my father. ”

Wen Qiwen said.

He and Zhang Jianlong walked side by side at the front.

"This ...... Where are you embarrassed to let your son break the bank!"

When Zhang Jianlong heard this, he immediately refused.

He still knows such simple politeness.

You'll have to shirk it.

In any case, it cannot be accepted without shame.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's my father who came to comfort everyone!

Wen Qiwen waved his hand again and again and said.

Zhang Jianlong saw that the son was not polite, but had made up his mind, so he had to nod and agree.

If you shirk it again, you will inevitably refute the child's face again.

He knows that these people with status care most about their faces.

You can skip the meal, you don't need the money, but you can't throw away the slightest.

"What's so unusual here?"

Wen Qiwen asked.

In fact, he had no interest in what was going on.

But if you don't ask a few more questions, it seems too much.

Zhang Jianlong may not think much about it, but who knows if there are any people with exquisite minds among his sergeants?

Since I said that I came out to relax, it is reasonable to ask a few more words when I see the difference in the rain.

"Hui Gongzi, this place is extremely calm, and they are all good citizens. ”

Zhang Jianlong said.

"Are there any open shops in town now? We walked all night, and we were a little thirsty. ”

Wen Qiwen asked.

"Now...... I'm afraid only one sword shop is open. ”

Zhang Jianlong thought for a while and said.

"It's my own fault...... Earlier, Qingmei saw a deer, so I wanted to call her, but I didn't expect that the deer might be a strange beast that was about to be enlightened, not only this running body is extremely fast, but also very cunning. For several hours, we followed it up and down, but we never had a chance to open the bow...... Before I knew it, so many hours had been passed...... What a shame!"

Wen Qiwen said self-deprecatingly.

He had already seen that an adjutant beside Zhang Jianlong frowned slightly after hearing him say that he had been gone all night.

Although it was only a momentary effort, it was still captured by his keen eye.

There can be no carelessness in such a thing.

A small doubt will be like a tree that falls into the soil in early spring, and they will be rotted by the spring rain that follows, or they will grow into a towering tree.

The safest way to do this is to dig it out and throw it aside.

The people of Hongzhou all know that this son is very devoted to Qingxueqing, the young lady of Qingfu, and Hongzhou Prefecture Tongfu and Qingfu are the quasi-in-laws who are married when they are not born.

So no one will not believe Wen Qiwen's words.

After listening to this, the adjutant's face returned to lightness.

"I don't know what kind of shop opened so early?"

Wen Qiwen asked.

"It's a shop that sells lap-mei. ”

Zhang Jianlong said.

That's pretty unusual......

Lap-mei is not very popular in the Northwest Territories.

On the contrary, it is the characteristic of the coastal zone of the Andong Domain.

Can you have a business selling lap-mei here?

Not only Wen Qiwen had this kind of doubt, but Jin Ye and Li Junchang also felt remarkable after hearing it.

When the group walked to the door of the roast meat shop that Zhang Jianlong said, they saw that the shopkeeper had two jobs, and they were really busy.

I saw that one of the workers, holding a lump of two or three catties of belly meat in his hand, burned it with fire, and shaved the hair of three times and five divided by two, and then put down the knife, took a just pendant, and began to poke at the pigskin constantly.

Qing Xueqing also squeezed to the front to see.

She had eaten roast meat, but she had never seen it.

After the guy finished poking, he flipped the piece of meat, picked up the knife again, and used the knife to cut a few parallel straight lines on the surface of the piece of meat, and then grabbed a handful of seasoning and smeared it on it.

"What kind of condiment is this?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

The fellow slowly raised his eyes to look, but did not say a word.

"Qingmei, this seasoning is one family, and it must not be passed on. Otherwise, it's terrible to be listened to by others...... Craftsmen live by their craft. ”

Wen Qiwen whispered to Qing Xueqing.

After the man spread the seasoning evenly on the meat pieces, he threw it into the large basin next to him and put it in rouge.

"Shop, do you have a finished product now?"

Zhang Jialong knocked on the counter and asked.

"Nope. ”

The shopkeeper kept his back to the counter, holding a large iron spoon with a long handle in his hand and stirring in the pot.

"How long will we have to wait?"

Wen Qiwen asked.

"It's going to be a long time coming!"

The shopkeeper said.

I seem to be getting a little impatient.

However, he speaks a coastal dialect, but the people can't understand it.

Three points of listening, seven points of guessing, and I don't know what his tone is.

"Childe, don't care about ......"

Zhang Jianlong pulled Wen Qiwen aside and said.

"What do you care about?"

Wen Qiwen was stunned, this was not pretending, but he really failed to understand the meaning of Zhang Jianlong's words.

"This shopkeeper is from the Andong Domain, and it has only been a few months since he came to this town. It is said that he is an old bachelor. Alcoholic and gambling...... No one wants to marry his daughter. However, he does have a very skillful hand, roasting skills, and there is a shop handed down from his ancestors at home, even if it is three days of fishing, two days of drying nets is enough to live. ”

Zhang Jianlong said.

"Then why did he come here despite all the distance from his homeland?"

Wen Qiwen asked.

No one will have no feelings for their homeland.

And this kind of feeling is often "sorrowful".

Sorrow is a kind of third person who is somewhere between pain and putting it on the table.

That is, it does not reach the point of pain, and it does not make people sad and sad.

Everyone has heard of the word nostalgia.

Wen Qiwen is naturally no exception.

But he didn't know why his thoughts were always sad.

In the books he reads, those emigrants always use wine to relieve their worries and use wine to dispel their sorrows.

Later, he asked his father, and only then did he know that this kind of sorrow was actually a kind of discomfort, not used to it.

To put it bluntly, maybe it's not so profound.

"Is there a big difference between this place and the Anton Kingdom?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

Girls are always more curious.

"At least it doesn't snow in my hometown. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he paused and said.

In the winter when there is no snow, Qingxueqing can't imagine it......

In his impression, in Hongzhou in winter, even the stubborn and unyielding red of the Lonely Sea Red Forest will be submerged by layers of snow.

??“ I'm used to eating roast meat at home, and I'm really not used to the stewed mutton here......"

The shopkeeper stopped what he was doing, looked ahead and continued.

"Then why not go?"

Qing Xueqing asked.

"I can't eat it now!"

The shopkeeper said.

Listening to the tone, he seemed to smile softly.

After finishing speaking, the long-handled iron spoon in his hand began to stir again.

Jin Ye and Li Junchang made a detour to the side of this shop.

The two of them saw that this sword shop was really not big.

There wasn't even a dine-in seat, so I had to buy it at this counter and take it away.

A nail was nailed to the side wall, on which a thick pile of oiled paper was worn with a thin red rope.

It seems that it is used to package roasted meat.

It looks like no more than three rooms in front of the front and back.

At the front is the counter, and behind the counter is the kitchen.

At the end, it must be the place where the store sleeps by itself.

There will only be a protruding place at the rear of the side, which looks like it was stamped from the back.

At this moment, there was a burst of fragrance inside, and Jin Ye took a closer smell and couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

But Li Junchang, who was standing on the side, his brows condensed into a pimple......

"What's wrong? Aren't you hungry?"

Jin Ye patted him on the shoulder and asked.

In fact, Jin Ye is not hungry......

With his martial arts cultivation, even if he doesn't eat for several days, it doesn't matter.

But in the face of this pungent fragrance, he couldn't help himself.

"No, it's just the scent ......"

Li Junchang wanted to speak and stopped.

A person's memory is not just made up of pictures.

Many times when I stand up a familiar piece of music, my mind can be reminded of a past incident.

The smell is the same.

Suddenly, I smelled a scent, but it could also bring back some things that had long been blurred in my memory.

"What's wrong with this smell?"

Jin Ye asked.

"It's nothing, it's just very fragrant!"

Li Junchang said.

After speaking, he pulled the corners of his mouth vigorously and smiled.

Jin Ye laughed and patted Li Junchang's shoulder again, and at the same time laughed at him for being more unproductive than himself.

In the blink of an eye, he stared at the house that had been built.

"Restaurant, is that where you barbecue?"

Jin Ye asked.

"Yes. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"How much did you lose in gambling, it actually made you go so far, almost across the entire Five Kings Domain!"

Jin Ye leaned on the counter and asked casually.

"People who gamble well don't necessarily lose. ”

The shopkeeper said after being slightly stunned.

It's just that he never turned around.

The long-handled iron spoon in his hand was also stirring from left to right unhurriedly.

"It is said that ten gambles and nine frauds, if a good gambler does not lose money, it means that the store has a good "fraud" kung fu!"

Jin Ye said.

Wen Qiwen and Qing Xueqing glanced at each other, and Tari didn't know why Jin Ye suddenly made it difficult for this shopkeeper.

Only Li Junchang was on the side, standing calmly.

I kept my head down, not knowing what I was thinking.

"This guest officer, are you here to buy roast meat, or do you want to gamble with me?"

The shopkeeper asked.

"Is there a conflict between buying roast meat and gambling money?"

Jin Ye asked rhetorically.

"No conflict...... It's just that the dead can't eat roasted meat, and the dead can't shake the sieve. ”

The shopkeeper said.
