Chapter 90: The Old Beggars in the Deserted Temple (1)

The name of Chongqing in Chongqing City, began in the sixteenth year of Chunxi of the Southern Song Dynasty, because the Southern Song Dynasty Guangzong Zhao Dian first crowned King Gong, and then received the throne of his father, that is, the emperor's throne, Gongzhou was the place of its latent Pan, and was upgraded to Chongqing Mansion according to the custom, taking the meaning of "double celebration".

Chongqing City, nine open and eight closed, seventeen city gates, conform to feng shui, pay attention to survival, should be "nine palaces", "gossip" image and build, in order to show the meaning of "Jincheng soup pool".

The black shadow that rushed up to the city wall was naturally Xi Murong, she naturally did not have the Tang Sect family order, and she did not even have a door number to enter and exit the city gate, so she would definitely not be able to get out of the city gate. After the ghost face was lost, Chang Ming and the others were trapped in the Qin family's house for so long, and finally had the opportunity to get the ghost face back, Xi Murong naturally couldn't let it go.

Above the city gate, there are naturally guards patrolling the gate, but it is impossible for the officers and soldiers to go back and forth all the time, so Xi Murong decided to climb over the wall. Just now she saw Tang Xiu'er going to the direction of the city gate, so she guessed that Tang Xiu'er must have a way to go out. Xi Murong has always been in Chongqing, so he naturally knows that Tangmen has the means to get out of the city at night.

Moreover, Tang Xiu'er's identity is the eldest lady of the Tang Gate, and as soon as she saw that Tang Xiu'er was about to leave the city, she went to find a rope. The city walls are towering, although there are peerless masters who can climb over the walls and come and go at will. But Xi Murong can't do it, he can do the Central Plains Martial Arts can do this with two hands.

Xi Murong ran to the top of the stairs with gentle steps, leaned against the wall, and glanced at the city gate. At this glance, Xi Murong not only smiled. It turned out that the patrolling soldiers happened to be walking towards her, and they should be going to her side to the end.

As mentioned earlier, there are a total of seventeen city gates, nine open and eight closed, Tang Xiuer walked the Nanji Gate, which is the so-called vegetable basket gate in Chongqing City, that is, the door specially used for people pouring in and out, transporting vegetables and grain.

There is a patrol soldier on the side of each city gate, patrolling back and forth alternately, so that you can not help but ensure that there are two soldiers on each gate tower to look out, and you can also stagger the patrol so that nothing will be missed.

Therefore, just now Xi Murong saw the soldiers walking towards him coming from the direction of Jintang Gate, so he was so happy. For as long as the soldier walked past where she was, she could go to the gate tower of Jintangmen.

The gate tower was also very wide, even if there were soldiers standing on the other side, taking advantage of the night, it was enough for her lanyard to go down the wall. Xi Murong stared at the wall in front of him, watching the soldier's shadow slowly flash and disappear, and he was also relieved.

After all, who knows if this soldier will just have to go downstairs to take shifts, then she'll be finished. Although there will be no fear of life, once exposed, there is basically no chance to go out of the city again. That really called Tang Xiu'er to bring Qin Ku'er back to the Tang family, and it was over. If the Tang Sect wants to borrow Qin Ku'er, it is still acceptable, the most important thing is that it is impossible for the ghost face to get it back.

Carefully sticking out his head, watching the soldier walk to the side of the soldier in Nanjimen, and handing over a soldier to talk, Xi Murong hurriedly flashed onto the city wall. As soon as he went up, he leaned his back against the wall of the walkway of the city wall, and kept moving against the foot of the wall, in order not to expose it as much as possible.

Walking like this, Xi Murong frowned, and wanted to scold: "Damn, if it weren't for the Mongolians, the old lady would be so tired?"

Xi Murong and Changming have been in Chongqing for so many years, but in fact, they have done a lot of things to go out of the city in the middle of the night. In the past, although the patrols on the city gate were the same as the current regulations, almost all the officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not comply with them in the past, and almost two people chatted and farted together, and they did not necessarily patrol several times until dawn.

However, when the Mongols fought, although Chongqing City was far away from Henan on the front line, the patrols of the city were much stricter, and almost all of them came according to the rules. Of course, Yan is more loose than before, this is not the soldier chatting casually, giving Xi Murong a chance.

Not long after, Xi Murong had already arrived at the south side of the Jintangmen City Gate, she looked behind her, and then glanced at the soldiers standing on the north side, and hurriedly hung the rope on the city wall, slid over the female wall, and slid down the city wall with light skills along the rope. On the ground, Xi Murong hurriedly raised his hand to glance at it, and found that there was nothing wrong, so he hurriedly took advantage of the night to walk to the weeds at the gate of Jintang against the city wall, leaned down, and hurried away.

......

Nanji Gate is the so-called vegetable basket gate, because a few miles outside the city are villages and towns, and most of the villages and towns are vegetable fields, in order to supply melons, fruits and vegetables to the city.

After Tang Xiu'er left the city, she put Qin Ku'er down, although she had good light skills, she couldn't stand taking this little girl all the way. Besides, Xi Murong can't get out of the city, and the two don't have to run away.

"I see. Qin Ku'er nodded, for just being able to get out of the city, Qin Ku'er also asked Tang Xiu'er, and Tang Xiu'er had just explained to her the role of the Tang Family Order in her hand.

"This token isn't yours, is it?" Qin Ku'er asked.

Tang Xiu'er looked at Qin Ku'er, her expression was firm, it seemed that she couldn't hide it, and said, "Of course, I don't have a family order, this token belongs to my grandmother, and I secretly took it out." ”

Qin Ku'er covered her mouth and smiled, "I didn't expect you to like to steal things too?"

Tang Ku'er smiled embarrassedly: "It's all your own things, can you call it stealing, you don't know how much my grandmother spoils me, and getting a family order is not a big deal." ”

Qin Ku'er glanced at Tang Xiu'er and teased: "If it's really a pet, can you use it secretly?"

Tang Xiu'er was speechless and didn't know how to reply. In fact, when she stole the family order, she actually felt that she might be scolded by her grandmother. After all, the opening and closing of the city gate at night is a big deal, and it is really said that the Tang Gate can be opened with a family order, and that family order is extremely precious and not many after all.

In fact, the Tang Sect is divided into four families, and there are only four family orders, all of which are on the head of each family. As for the sect, there are only two pieces in the Tang family, and one is naturally in the head of the Tang family, that is, Tang Xiu'er's grandmother, Granny Tang.

The other piece is mostly moved between several family heads. However, it is basically on Ye Wufeng, because Ye Wufeng is now the nominal second-in-command of the Tang Sect, and he often walks around.

"That's right. Tang Xiu'er suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Qin Ku'er: "Why don't you ask me why only me came out, aren't you worried about your mother?"

Qin Ku'er replied: "What is there to worry about, the most miserable thing is nothing more than death." ”

Tang Xiu'er didn't expect Qin Ku'er to say this, and stopped in a daze. Looking at the calm expression on Qin Ku'er's face, he said, "Are you really not afraid that your mother will die? Do you know what death means?" Tang Xiu'er thought that Qin Ku'er was young and ignorant, so she would say this.

"Dead, it's just that the breath is gone, and the legs are kicked into the coffin. ”

Tang Xiu'er is really stupid now, this Qin Ku'er is actually such a cold-blooded child, even if you are young, you can say that you are not sensible, but it is really impossible to get over this completely indifferent to the safety of her mother.

Qin Ku'er glanced at Tang Xiu'er, knowing what Tang Xiu'er was thinking, and suddenly said: "When my mother came this time, she didn't bring me here, but I must come, I told her that although I also know that my biological father is a brute bastard, a villain, a hooligan bastard, but he is my father in name after all." I want to see this bastard once, so I won't have to think about this bastard for the rest of my life. ”

"Your mother......" Tang Xiu'er realized that Qin Ku'er was young, but her thoughts were quite mature.

"Of course my mother refuses, those two bastards are so bad and have high martial arts. I told my mother that as long as I met once, then I could completely cut off contact with that beast in the rest of my life, and my future life would be completely free. Qin Ku'er said, her face still having that expression.

"My mother finally agreed, the better she and I are, if there is danger this time, I just need to take care of myself. My mother said that she never thought that she would be able to go back alive when she came. It's best if my mother can kill those two bastards, but if she dies, I know my mother really has no regrets. ”

Qin Ku'er suddenly looked up at Tang Xiu'er with a serious expression: "Do you know, although my mother doesn't say it, but I have been looking at my mother since I was a child, I know that although my mother is in the Taoist temple, my mother is actually almost dead." If she doesn't come back to avenge the two, she can only live in hatred for the rest of her life, so even if she dies, as long as she is broken, she can be regarded as free. ”

"My mother also agreed with me that this time, even if she dies, she will tell me to forget my hatred and live a good life alone. So, I just need to live well now. ”

Tang Xiu'er was speechless, looking at Qin Ku'er, she didn't know how to answer at all. Tang Xiu'er carefully looked at Qin Ku'er's little face again and again, compared with her peers, Qin Ku'er's face was slightly thin, but her eyes were huge, blinking and blinking, looking spiritual.

Tang Xiu'er squatted down, hugged Qin Ku'er, and hugged her tightly, but she didn't know what to say. What Qin Ku'er said just now was too mature, and even some of the words seemed to her like a bolt from the blue. Tang Xiu'er has been exposed to the internal family style of the Tang Sect since she was a child, and it is the style of revenge. The mantra of the disciples of the Tang Sect can basically reflect this style: If someone offends me, I will kill your whole family.

Giving up hatred is simply unheard of for Tang Xiuer, and the statement that she has never thought of is as rare as snow in August.

But what made Tang Xiu'er feel even more strange was why Qin Ku'er, who was only a ten-year-old child, why could he see it so thoroughly, and the agreement between Qin Qing'e and Qin Ku'er was too strange, how could this be like a dialogue agreement between mother and daughter? It was like a conversation between friends.

"So do you know what I want to do when I take you away?" Tang Xiu'er looked at Qin Ku'er and asked, in fact, she was inexplicably a little afraid of Qin Ku'er in her heart.

Qin Ku'er nodded and said, "I can probably guess that you will definitely not harm me anyway." And I'm young and don't know martial arts, so you don't have to be wary of me. ”

Indeed, Tang Xiu'er taking Qin Ku'er back is a bargaining chip in the business field when the time comes, and if she brings Qin Ku'er back to Tangmen, Tangmen will indeed not treat her badly. Good food and shelter, no worries about food and clothing, and even being incorporated into the Tang Sect disciples is not easy to say.

Because of the rewards of business, how much can a child spend? No matter how much it spends, it's worth it.

"I think I should guard against you now, really, you're too smart. Tang Xiu'er smiled bitterly.

"I'm smart or not, I don't know, maybe my master taught me. Qin Ku'er suddenly listened, pointed to a barren and ruined temple that appeared on the side of the road and said, "I'm tired of walking, there are lights there, go in and rest." ”

Tang Xiu'er nodded, she suddenly remembered that Qin Qing'e had said that she was rescued by a Taoist priest after jumping into the river. Before jumping into the river, Qin Qing'e didn't know martial arts, but when she came back this time, her martial arts were obviously not weak, anyway, they were higher than Tang Xiuer and Guo Xiang.

Martial arts training is the foundation, Qin Qing'e practiced martial arts in her twenties, and she can still have this level, Tang Xiu'er became interested in the master that Qin Ku'er said. She felt that Qin Ku'er's "open-minded" and casual feeling was most likely not innate, but was taught to be like this.

When the two of them reached the gate of the ruined temple, they saw an old beggar cooking a fire.
