Twilight is approaching, heavy rain continues, and the long peaks in the distance are dark blue. Then, the mist is drowsy, slightly flooded, like a layer of thick and light milky white yarn with the heavy mountain as the bottom, isolated from the mountain and the mountain is not connected, but the blue peak is really like a refreshing brush and ink, sparse and dense landscape painting. In the heavy rain, Jingzhi is a stroke of sketches of green mountains and green waters, a few petals with the wind and powder, overlapping mountains, endless, ups and downs, a carriage slowly on the official road, stopped in front of an inn on the side of the road.

An old man got out of the car, lifted the wet curtains, and first a dark-skinned child came out of it, and then a very good-looking woman also came out of it, and the old man hurriedly opened an oil-paper umbrella to cover the woman and the child.

The drizzle slipped down, and the old man held an umbrella and said, "Mrs. Gu, it's getting late, and it's raining again, so let's rest in the inn for the time being, and let's leave tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Gu nodded, led the small stone, and said, "Elder Ning, you can arrange it." ”

This group of people came out of Chang'an and wanted to return to Shuzhong, and they hurried for several days and arrived at Tongyang County on the border of Shuzhong.

The umbrella is actually a little small, it can only cover one person, but a few people walked without any rain, a thin layer of cover gas centered on Ning Qing, and the rain falling on the cover within a radius of five feet was actively avoided, which is the legendary flies and insects can not fall, and the rain does not add to the body.

Although it looks magical, it is actually just a small means of using true qi, and many martial artists in the Qi Cover Realm can actually do it, but the martial artists under the innate realm are not so easy to use, so it has basically become the mark of a great cultivator.

At this moment, it is actually only evening, but because of the rain, the sky has begun to darken, and there is a small inn on the side of the road, Ning Qing simply parked the carriage here, and Xiao Er'er came to arrange the carriage for the first time.

This kind of inn opened on the side of the road, generally for the past merchants or some people who run the rivers and lakes are prepared, generally relatively simple, the scale will not be very large, but it will not be very small, usually there are two floors, one for eating, one for accommodation, usually times, there are not many people.

Ning Qing is lǎojiāng Lake, so he is naturally more aware of these situations, but when he entered the inn with Mrs. Gu and Xiao Shi, he was slightly shocked, this floor was almost full, and there were so many people that he suddenly felt a little strange.

Instead, Mrs. Gu said softly: "Elder Ning, this may be because of the rain, there should be no other inns around here, and the people who are in a hurry have all come in." ”

Ning Qing nodded, he also heard Mrs. Gu say that his father who followed Gu Qingci when he was young also ran around the rivers and lakes for a few days, and it was not surprising that Mrs. Gu had these insights, but he still reminded: "Mrs. Gu, these people basically have a very heavy atmosphere of wind and dust, I'm afraid they are all from the rivers and lakes, let's rest early after eating later!"

Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "Well, Elder Ning, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble." ”

Regardless of Ning Qing's status as a great cultivator, in terms of pure age, Mrs. Gu should also perform the junior ceremony, so she has always been very respectful of Ning Qing.

As soon as Ning Qing and the others came in, Xiao Er soon came to arrange the place and found a place by the window, which was also one of the only two empty tables left in the inn.

Although Mrs. Gu is middle-aged, she has maintained a good temperament and appearance, and she was born dignified and beautiful, otherwise she would not have been able to give birth to Gu Qingci.

When Mrs. Gu walked to the window, in the table of six people next to her, a big man with a beard suddenly spoke: "Big brother, you said that the true sign of the girl's birth, if you can sleep for one night, you will be willing to give as much money as you want." ”

In fact, the beard didn't mean to tease Mrs. Gu, but he was the kind of person with a very thick voice, although he deliberately lowered his voice, he still let the two tables next to him, including Mrs. Gu, hear it, and in an instant, it caused laughter.

Mrs. Gu glanced at the man, her face was very ugly, but she didn't speak, but at that moment, she was in a bad mood.

However, Mrs. Gu can bear it, Xiaoshi is not sensible, and she doesn't know what it means at all, but it doesn't mean that Ning Qing can bear it, or that he can't let Mrs. Gu be wronged, otherwise he doesn't know how to explain to Gu Qingci, even if Mrs. Gu can't say it, Ning Qing can't pass the level in his heart.

"Bang"

Ning Qing slapped the table, his voice was high-pitched, and suddenly the noisy inn quieted down, and everyone couldn't help but look over.

Ning Qing slowly raised his hand, pointed at the beard, and said lightly: "You, apologize with your own palm!"

Hearing Ning Qing's words, the beard suddenly became angry, his tall figure shook, and he was about to pick up the big knife on the table, but at that moment, he was grabbed by a middle-aged man next to him, and the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up, accompanied by a smiling face, and said: "Old man, I'm sorry, my brother is a rough man, he doesn't look for margins when he speaks, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about him!"

This middle-aged man can speak, and he also gives Ning Qing face, and everyone else in the inn thought that this matter was over, but what everyone didn't expect was that Ning Qing still said coldly: "Apologize with your palm, this is the second time, I don't want to say it for the third time." ”

As Ning Qing's words came out, the inn was silent, because these six people were all tall and with swords, and at first glance they were the kind of people who ran around the rivers and lakes all year round and were not easy to provoke, and many people felt in their hearts that Ning Qing, the old man, was a little embarrassed, and something might happen next.

The shopkeeper on the side was a little anxious to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, hesitated, he was about to reach out and hold Ning Qing, but as soon as he moved, he saw a scene that shocked him.

The middle-aged man actually turned around and slapped the bearded man in the face, grabbed the stunned beard with one hand, and then hurriedly said: "This lady, my brother is a rough man, how offended, don't take it to heart, the villain apologized to you for him." Then, the middle-aged man looked at Ning Qing again and said, "Old man, what do you see?"

Ning Qing glanced at it and didn't answer, but looked at Mrs. Gu and asked, "Mrs. Gu, what do you think?"

Mrs. Gu didn't want to cause more trouble, so she said lightly: "That's it, Elder Ning, let's go and rest after eating early, I'm also a little tired." ”

Ning Qing turned his head and said lightly: "Hmph, remember to take care of your mouth in the future, and talk less if your mouth is stink!"

"Yes, yes," the middle-aged man pulled the beard and hurriedly said: "The old gentleman has learned a lesson, and the juniors should remember, then we will leave first, and we will not disturb a few!"

The middle-aged man didn't care about the doubts of the others, and walked to the empty table on the other side, the bearded man who was slapped was in a bad mood, but the middle-aged man should be the leader of several of them, very majestic, he didn't dare to react too much, but he was dissatisfied: "Big brother, why did you beat me just now, and apologize to the old man?"

The middle-aged man's face changed, and he said in a low voice viciously: "You idiot, shut up for me, look at those people for yourself, coming from the heavy rain, there is no water on their bodies, just an umbrella can do it? Moreover, look at that old man, even the soles of his shoes are clean, why do you say I beat you!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the others subconsciously looked at Ning Qing, and their faces suddenly changed, especially the beard was even more pale, in this heavy rain, they could not get a little water, and even the soles of their shoes were clean and neat, and their strength must be so strong that they could not imagine.

For these second- and third-rate martial artists, even the Hooded Qi Realm martial artists can only look up, not to mention, now this old man's strength may be stronger, thinking about it like this, the bearded heart almost suffocated, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, what ...... The old man...... Old gentleman can't be a great cultivator, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "How do I know this, but I'm afraid that woman's identity is not simple, looking at it like that, such a master actually seems to listen to her." ”

The beard had a feeling of the rest of his life, a cold sweat flowed on his back, and he didn't dare to speak again, let alone peek at Mrs. Gu again, including other people in the inn, and many people noticed Ning Qing, and after discussing it for a while, they were all a little depressed, and they didn't dare to look at Mrs. Gu anymore, let alone ridicule.

The rivers and lakes are like this, having strength will make people awe and fear, but if they don't have strength, someone will kick their nose in the face, which is more and more excessive.

Just in the middle of the meal, a few more people walked in outside the inn, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, the leader of this line was a heroic woman, and behind him a group of young people in uniform clothes, each of them was in good spirits, but what was more noticeable was that there was a woman in palace costume among the line, with a beautiful and beautiful appearance, which was very incompatible with this wilderness shop.

However, these people looked a little tired, or a little embarrassed, always vigilant with all the grass and trees, seeing that everyone was wearing a little scrutiny, and finally, the heroic woman suddenly fixed her eyes on Mrs. Gu's table, and walked over slowly.

............

In the capital, the matter of the first battle of Qingshi Lane was still fermenting, and a eunuch from the palace came to Qingshi Lane and informed Gu Qingci to go to the court meeting early tomorrow morning.

After the eunuch left, Gu Qingci returned to the house, Liao Zhiyuan was practicing swords, Chen Wanyu was sitting in the pavilion on the side, after seeing Gu Qingci, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Gu Gongzi!"

Gu Qing saluted, "Miss Chen." ”

Liao Zhiyuan took the sword and walked over, took a cup of tea and drank it all, and said, "By the way, Brother Gu, do you know that the glass golden silk Gu has appeared in Shu recently!"

Glazed Golden Silk Gu, the first Gu insect in the world, unique, the Gu cultivator will be reborn, even a person with very ordinary talent can transform into a genius, it is a treasure that everyone dreams of, but it has not appeared for hundreds of years.
