Chapter 267: The Horseman of Grassy Town
The sun is already in the west, and although Ji Longjun can maintain his true qi by relying on the operation method of "one qi and two streams", the huge consumption of physical strength is still not to be underestimated.
Not to mention anything else, the endless sweat mist he volatilized alone almost made Ji Longjun dehydrated, not to mention that he had almost not eaten for a day and night, and his stomach had long been rumbling.
Qingcao Town, a small town in the south of the Ginkgo Valley backed by tall green mountains.
This is a town with a large population and a prosperous market, the people live a rich and comfortable life, and Ji Longjun feels a long-lost comfortable atmosphere when he first enters Qingcao Town.
The streets are full of people, the two- and three-story wooden floors are tired, the paintings are flying, the children are screaming and running, and the shops are bustling with business.
Although there is a big war going on outside Ginkgo Village, everyone here is full of confidence in Huo Zhai, and there is no sense of chaos and crisis under the war.
"Lao Wang, is there anything to do tonight, let's have a drink!" a middle-aged man in a bright silk dress shouted to a friend passing by.
Lao Wang recognized his old friend and greeted him warmly: "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Ke." No, I didn't just buy the food, my mother-in-law at home is urging me to drink alcohol, so let's play cards together later?"
Lao Wang patted the cloth bag in his hand as he spoke, which contained a few fresh vegetables.
"If everyone was as honest as you and went home to eat every day, those taverns in Qingcao Town would have closed a long time ago! Lao Wang, don't be so afraid of your daughter-in-law, big man, be a little more interesting!"
Lao Wang snorted: "." Do you think I don't know, if it weren't for the fact that my sister-in-law also likes to drink a cup of nothing, Brother Ke, you would be able to drink every day?
Brother Ke was exposed by Lao Wang in front of him, but there was no embarrassment on his face, and he laughed and said, "Lao Wang, did you still play cards that night?"
"Hit! The archway of the six miles of archway, four quarters of the hour, see you or disperse!"
Brother Ke waved his hand: "Just fight! Bring more silver, I'm afraid you won't lose enough!"
Ji Longjun and Zhu Ziteng walked down the street and heard such a scene, and they couldn't help but look very weird.
Zhu Ziteng said: "Long Jun, don't the people here know that there is a war outside? ”
Ji Longjun said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, there has been no war in the Ginkgo Valley for decades, and the Iron Hat City has launched several attacks and has been stopped outside Ginkgo Village each time, the people here trust the Huo family very much, and probably think there will be no problem this time, right?"
Vermilion sighed: "If you forget to fight, you will be in danger." Let's hurry up and find a place to rest, Tang Youxin and those people are chasing here, I'm afraid it will soon become a slaughterhouse, let's protect ourselves and take care of ourselves, and we don't have to worry about the safety of these people. ”
Ji Longjun nodded: "Presumably, all the powerful guards in the town have been transferred, these people are really lambs to the slaughter......"
The gorgeously dressed and handsome people on the street looked at Ji Longjun, who was disheveled and dirty, and their eyes were full of strange looks, while Ji Longjun and Zhu Ziteng looked at them...... It's as if looking at a corpse with pity.
The two found a restaurant with a hidden location, and despite the strange eyes of the people around them, they found a table to sit on, and Ji Longjun took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels from his waist bag and put it on the table
One shot: "Boss, what are the ready-made signature dishes in the store, how many are on it, how fast it is, hurry up!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly came over, carefully picked up the silver ticket on the table and frowned and looked at it: "Huh, this is not our silver ticket from Ginkgo Valley, right?"
"Boss, the silver ticket issued by Baibao Manor is 100% exchangeable, what are you afraid of? I can still fool you?"
"Baibao Manor?" The shopkeeper just opened a small shop, obviously not like those towns near Qicheng who were familiar with Baibao Manor and extremely trusted, but he had also heard of the name of Baibao Manor, and he was a little hesitant for a while, and the hundred taels of silver tickets in his hand neither said nor would he accept them.
Ji Longjun is a little anxious, what he lacks most now is time, but the owner of the shop is grinding and chirping, which makes people crazy.
Zhu Ziteng untied a delicate jade pendant from the ribbon, gently placed it on the table and said, "Boss, high-grade chalcedony waist ornaments, a few side dishes, a few catties of cooked meat, is it enough?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he gently picked up the jade pendant and looked at it: "Enough, enough! It's too much, I'll give you change!"
Ji Longjun frowned and said, "Your Highness, the jade pendant is your belongings, how can you exchange it for food......?"
"It's okay," Zhu Ziteng interrupted Ji Longjun and said, "Let's be pressed for time, let's finish eating early and see if we can hire another carriage, you always carry me on your back...... Nor is it suitable. ”
Ji Longjun endured it, so he had to glare at the shopkeeper, silently took back the silver ticket on the table and said no more. The shopkeeper hurriedly beckoned the shopkeeper to serve four hot and cold dishes, a plate of cooked venison, and two large bowls of sweet soup.
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said, "The two of you must be guests from other places, right?" The most famous specialty of our Ginkgo Valley is wine in addition to deer antler velvet, do you want to have a pot of wine to try?"
Ji Longjun glanced at Zhu Ziteng, waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, boss, calculate how much it is, give us change, we still have to hire a carriage." ”
The shopkeeper calculated carefully, and Ji Longjun and the others didn't care, just hurry up to eat. Although the amount of red wisteria is small, he has not eaten since he came down from the Two Realms Mountain last night, he has only drunk a little water, and his stomach has long been empty.
The shopkeeper made the jade pendant ten taels, deducting more than nine taels for Zhu Ziteng before the meal, and Zhu Ziteng didn't look at it and just asked Ji Longjun to put it away. Ji Longjun asked: "Boss, is there a rental car and horse shop around here?" My friend was slightly injured and couldn't ride a horse, so he wanted to rent a carriage to hurry. ”
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes! The street in front of our door goes all the way to the south, and the first intersection goes east, and it is not long to walk to the carriage and horses." The two of you can sit in the store, and I'll send Xiao Er to hire a carriage to pick them up. ”
Ji Longjun waved his hand: "No need. Boss, please fill the kettle with water for both of us, we are in a hurry. ”
As soon as Ji Longjun walked out of the restaurant with the vermilion on his back, there was a noise in the distance, and it seemed that suddenly many people were arguing at the same time, and there were loud reprimands and shouts, which could be heard clearly across the two streets.
Ji Longjun swallowed his saliva and hurriedly lowered his head and hurried towards the carriage and horse shop.
After paying, the groom left from the other side of the town under the command of Ji Longjun and headed for the depths of the Ginkgo Valley. Vermilion Wisteria lay gently in the bamboo canopy, Ji Longjun stood guard in front of the car, and the horseman raised his whip to urge the two jujube red horses forward.
Out of Qingcao Town, the groom quietly glanced at Ji Longjun, and Ji Longjun's eyes were straight and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Little brother," the groom said with a smile, "I don't see how you guys dress."
What's the matter, trapped by love?" said the groom's eyes fluttered, and he mouthed Nunu with a bamboo canopy hanging from the curtain.
Ji Longjun was stunned: "Ah, big brother, what did you say?"
The groom was in his thirties, with a big beard, and although he was a coachman, he was well-dressed, his beard was very delicately trimmed, and he was obviously a man with a story.
"Brother, I said you ......"
"Longjun. Inside the curtain, Vermilion Wisteria interrupted the groom and called softly.
Ji Longjun hurriedly agreed, and Zhu Ziteng said, "You come in." ”
Ji Longjun smiled apologetically at the groom, gently lifted the curtain and leaned into half of his body and said, "Your Highness, you called me?"
Zhu Ziteng gently rubbed his injured thigh, the crack of the leg bone was not trivial, but Zhu Ziteng endured it all the way, and now he was a little pale, and a trace of fine sweat oozed from his forehead.
Ji Longjun was faintly distressed, and whispered: "Your Highness, I ...... What can I do?"
"Long Jun, come in, I'll teach you some basic methods of healing. Vermilion said softly.
Ji Longjun nodded, he knew that Zhu Ziteng was well-read, unless it was a first-rate sect of Zhen Sect Kung Fu, she had dabbled in almost all the martial arts in the world, and she knew a lot about it, so it was naturally not surprising that she knew how to heal injuries.
Ji Longjun leaned out and patted the horseman and said, "Big brother, if there is a horse team chasing after you in Qingcao Town, you must call me as soon as you see it, please!"
The groom nodded, and said with a hearty expression on his face: "Don't worry, little brother, since I took your job and took you to elope, I naturally won't let 'someone' arrest you back!"
Ji Longjun looked inexplicable, but he didn't say much, opened the curtain and carefully got into the carriage.
It's one thing to run for your life with the crested wisteria on your back, and it's another to be in the same cramped carriage with the crested wisteria.
Ji Longjun glanced at Zhu Ziteng with some restraint, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, what do you need me to do?" I have a stupid head and am slow to learn things, if I don't understand you, don't be angry, it's not that you don't teach well, it must be because I don't learn well." ”
Vermilion smiled slightly and shook her head slightly.
"But don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely work hard to learn, and I will quickly learn to heal you!" Ji Longjun said seriously.
"Longjun, don't get excited. You are a sorcerer who has entered the realm of 'perception' and can condense the Infinite True Qi. I'm teaching you the technique of using Infinite True Qi to probe injuries and stimulate the healing of muscles and bones, and you are very clever and will definitely be able to learn it quickly. ”
Zhu Ziteng's face was slightly red, and his voice was a little quieter: "I'll teach you, you can practice with me." My leg bone was smashed by an old thief, but it is not broken, and the treatment is not that complicated, you don't have to worry. ”
Ji Longjun suddenly had a fever on his old face, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Ziteng**. Although Vermilion was wearing loose trousers, he was lying on his side in the carriage at the moment, and his legs were stretched out, which was really long and straight, which was frightening.
Ji Longjun only glanced at it, and immediately raised his head and sat upright, not daring to look more.
Zhu Ziteng said: "Wuji True Qi is born from the echo of the true essence of the human body and the aura of heaven and earth, and has a special keen insight into all things in heaven and earth, and can even resonate with the pure spirit qi of heaven and earth through the cultivation to a higher realm, and control the qi with qi, which is the principle of the sorcerer's control of the five elements." ”
Ji Longjun sat cross-legged at the entrance of the carriage and listened carefully.
